SSJ4T: Hey all! We just got our asses handed to us by Takuya's Egyptian God cards. Man, you used all that money to get those. Smart.

Takuya: Who's the man, now?!

Tai: I never knew when the kid would have pulled an ace out of his sleeve.

Takato: Tell me about it. Looks like we'll need Yugi to beat this guy.

Takuya: Uh-uh! Nobody beats me! Who's the man now?!

Kenshin: Hey! Is there enough room for a guest?

SSJ4T: Battosai! Or would you rather be called Kenshin?

Kenshin: Kenshin, because I've sworn never to kill again. So, I hear there's this fic series known as Digimon Fusion. Since Goku and Gohan checked it the last chapter, let me check this one out.

SSJ4T: Yeah! Yeah! Theres plenty of room.

Kenshin: What the hell is wrong with him?

Max: Takuya? Don't mind him. He's just savoring his victory for now. Luckily I was able to pick up a card of my own. It's enough to even wipe the floor with the three god cards. So, get ready to get your ass whooped, Takuya.

Takuya: Bring it on! I can go on all day!

SSJ4T: While these children get their Yu-Gi-Oh competition out of the way, enjoy the fic!

The Angel of Hope, Angemon Returns!

xxxxx

"So, War Greymon, do you have a new technique? After all, you recently reached the mega level."

"Yeah. I got one, but I don't think it will be enough. But there's always high hopes."

"Heh. Then lets see it. Anything is better than having to listen to that ridiculous laughter."

Devimon looked on to the duo as he continued laughing towards their attempts. He soon stopped as he began tp speak over them.

"So, are we making secret plans, my friends? Well, if thats the way you want to waste the last minutes of your lives, then go right ahead! You bunch of sad saps!"

War Greymon walked over to Leomon as he began to speak towards his ear, in order to prevent himself from being heard by Devimon. Leomon listened to the mega.

"So, you've got a new technique?"

"To be honest. It's a new variation of my usual finishing technique."

"Since my limb is shattered, it's going to be very difficult to concentrate. It will be time consuming."

"So, what do I do?"

"You need to keep him occupied for the time being."

"You better be damn sure that this is going to work."

"It will. Just trust me on this one, War Greymon. Besides I've been inching to experiment this new variation for quite a while. I sure hope it pays off."

"You're just in luck, my friend. We've got a target right in front of us. So you won't be disappointed after all."

"Yeah. We just better make it count or else we're screwed."

The duo began laughing to themselves, which caught Devimon's attention. The dark invader was taken back by their sudden laughter as if they had lost their minds completely. He couldn't believe that two adversaries were enjoying themselves in a situation such as this.

"They're laughing? Has insanity overtaken them?"

"Alright, Leomon! Do what you have to do! I'll keep distracted!"

"Good luck, War Greymon."

Tai, Gatomon and Patamon looked on from the sidelines. The boy crossed his finger and showed his support for his digimon. The rookies stood firm as they watched the next phase of the battle unfold.

War Greymon shoots off from the ground and flew right towards where Devimon stood. Leomon prepared for his new technique and powered up with energy. War Greymon came right at Devimon and started hammering away at the invader. However, Devimon was first to see this and began to slap away War Greymon's fists of fury. Leomon's body strained as more chi started to collect. Devimon took advantage of the mega and slams him to the ground. Devimon follows it by kicking War Greymon away. War Greymon goes sailing back as Devimon starts coming towards him for another assault. War Greymon springs up and manages to soar up towards the air. Devimon stopped to look up towards his adversary. The mega cups his hands over his head and began to collect a wave of orange energy. The energy collects at the palm of his hands. He calls out for his ultimate technique.

"Terra..."

Devimon's device went off as it picked up a new power level from War Greymon's sudden power up.

"It can't be! His power level went straight up to 924! Damn! It's still increasing! Somehow, he can focus all of his energy into a single point!"

Just then, Devimon picked up another strong power signal from the opposite direction. His device went off and he looked towards his left to find Leomon powering up his new technique. His eyes widened in shock as he saw the display of the new power level. It was far stronger than from War Greymon's power up.

"What?! Leomon's power just jumped up towards 1020! No, it's now 1030! This is unbelievable!"

"FORCE!!"

War Greymon hurls the orange sphere down towards Devimon. The invader looked on and managed to jump away from the energy sphere. War Greymon managed to curve-ball the sphere and sent it flying towards Devimon, as if it were a homing missile. Devimon managed to place out his hands and watched as the sphere was coming closer. As the sphere was caught by his hands, it exploded and caught Devimon in the explosion. War Greymon looked on and hoped that he had done the invader in. However, that all changed as the smoke was clearing away. War Greymon's eyes widened as Devimon stood unscathed with his arm stretched out.

"Ugh! He cancelled it out! My Terra Force was caught and dispatched!"

"Damn! This guy sure isn't normal! Man, what a tough break!" Tai cried out. "C'mon, War Greymon! Hang in there!"

"Ah! Agumon! Let me show you how it's done!" the invader called out.

Devimon raised his hand up and powered up an energy blast. He then throws the blast towards War Greymon. The blast caught War Greymon and he was sent flying down with massive damage to his body. He landed with a thud and was left laying unconscious. Deimon lands right down and picks up War Greymon by his neck.

"Now, say goodbye!"

Leomon finally completed his power up and formed a wave of energy around his fingers. He looks over to Devimon and makes his primary target. Phase one of the plan was completed. Now it was onto phase two.

"Looks like someone is going to die today."

Devimon's device started going off as he looks towards Leomon's position. He gasped and read the new power level reading from Leomon. He couldn't believe his very own eyes and could hardly believe that such a low-class digimon warrior was capable of producing such a high powered technique.

"A power at 1330!! Thats impossible! There shouldn't be any digimon to produce a power that high in this sector! And the worst part is that it's all focused into his finger tips?! How?! How did they do it?!"

"Tai! Look!" Gatomon said. "It's Leomon!"

"I never felt such a power!" Patamon. "He's only a champion, yet he's able to produce a mega-level technique!"

"Now! Eat this, demon!! Lion's Wrath!!"

Leomon points his finger tips towards Devimon and shoots out a long, spiral-like blast which was shaped like that of a lion's face. Devimon's eyes widened as the blast came hurtling towards him at a rapid pace. War Greymon couldn't believe what he saw and barely was able to keep up with the speed of the blast. Devimon cried out as the blast connected with him head-on. A huge explosion occurs and a bright light flashed over the battlegrounds. War Greymon and Leomon shielded themselves from the massive debris that was being collected from their surroundings. Tai jumps away while holding down Patamon and Gatomon.

"Damn! He should have warned us before doing that!" Tai exclaimed.

"What a powerful attack!" Gatomon cried out. "I just hope that did that jerk in!"

The dust slowly started to clear away and Leomon looked on desperately to see if his victim had been done in. To everyone's dismay, Devimon was still standing, but he wasn't as unscathed as the last time. His right shoulder armor pad was broken off with a minor injury on his shoulder. However, there was a major devastation from behind the demon. A tall mountain once stood, but the blast easily demolished it to the ground. Leomon couldn't believe how quickly his adversary was able to maneuver away from such an attack.

"He...He dodged it! But there's no one that could move so quickly! He's no ordinary digimon!"

"Ha! My, my! It went right through my armor. That was quite a technique. Imagine if that would have hit me. I would have been finished off for sure."

"That was my last hope."

"Luckily, your aim was a little off. Now, there was a little trick I was going to show you. Remember, the one I was going to use on you before I left?"

"Damn! This is the end of me for sure."

"Now, hold still. This will only take a moment."

With that said, Devimon raised his arm and started collecting energy to form his next technique. Leomon stood in defense as Devimon powered up to form a blast that would finish off the brave warrior beast. Tai and the others looked on with horror. Devimon cried out as he was set to throw the blast at Leomon. But just as he was about to unleash it, Devimon froze stiff at the last moment. His eyes widened as his body was stiff and it disabled him from moving.

"What?! My body is stiff! What could have..."

Everyone looked on and were quite relieved that Devimon's attack was halted. Devimon turned around to see War Greymon taking a grasp at Devimon's battle tail.

"Ha! You got too careless, Devimon! Look what I got here! Your battle tail!"

"But how did you know?!"

"Tai kind of figured that it would have been your weakness and I've just taken advantage of this situation. Looks like it really payed off."

"Whew! I knew it would work! That was just a lucky guess on my part!" Tai replied.

"Yeah, you're pretty lucky at guessing," Gatomon said.

Devimon fell to his knees as his body stiffened more and he felt his power decreasing rapidly. War Greymon held an even tighter grip, in order to stun the demon for quite a while. He looks over and calls out towards Leomon.

"Leomon! Hurry up and do that technique again! Hurry! I've got him down!"

"Right! This time I won't miss! You keep him tight! Don't let go of that tail! I can only do this once more!"

"Looks like we might actually win this, Gato!"

"I think you're right, porky! That prediction on Tai's part really came off really well."

"Gato. What did I tell you about that 'porky' name? I'm not a pig!"

Devimon seethed as he looked up towards War Greymon and began to cry out for mercy. War Greymon tightened the grip even more.

"Agumon! Surely, you won't go through with this?! You wouldn't dare kill me?! I'm an elite!"

"I don't care who you are! You don't go and try to kill us! You tried to force me to join your blood-thirsty group and you nearly killed Tai! But the lowest act you've ever committed was kidnapping both TK and Kari! You don't deserve to call yourself an elite warrior. You're a damn coward! You don't deserve a second chance!"

"Please! I beg of you! If you let go of me, I promise to leave this digital plane! I promise never to hunt you down again. I'll never kill another living creature again! Please, let me go and I'll change my ways!"

"War Greymon! Don't listen to that scumbag!" Tai cried out. "He's deceiving!"

"Hell! I'll even tell the others that you won't join our cause!"

"No! Close your thoughts, War Greymon!" Leomon cried out. "He is deceiving you! Whatever he says, don't let go of that grip!"

"Please! Just let me go and I'll leave this world. You'll never see me again!"

"Bite me!" War Greymon exclaimed.

"Have it your way then, my friend," Devimon muttered as he looked up and blinded War Greymon's eyes with a flash.

"No! War Greymon!"

War Greymon was now momentarily disabled and this allowed Devimon to take a huge advantage. Devimon delivers an elbow shot to War Greymon's chin as the mega went flying backwards. War Greymon lands on the ground with many multiple injuries.

"No! That jerk cheated! War Greymon! Please, get up! You can't lose!" Tai cried out. "Get up! Don't stop!"

Devimon flies right down on War Greymon and smashes his foot down onto War Greymon's exposed abdomen. The mega cries out as he heard his ribs slowly being crushed by the sheer weight of Devimon's foot. Devimon smirked as he eyed the others.

"That was cheap! He was offguard!" Leomon muttered.

"What a treat! I knew that you would fall for such a trick. You should have known that devil men such as myself were capable of pulling off such underhanded tactics. You were clearly a victim. How could I have thought of you as such a warrior? A warrior should never hesitate to kill. You were far too slow to complete such a task. So, you care to see a demonstration?"

With that said, Devimon started laughing maliciously as he pressed his foot deeper into War Greymon's abdomen. Everyone cringed as War Greymon's ribs were being smashed. Tai attempted to save his partner but was held back by Patamon and Gatomon.

"Let me go! I ahve to save him! That bastard is going to kill him!"

"You'll just end up giving your own life away! Devimon won't hesitate to kill you!" Gatomon exclaimed.

"War Greymond would rather sacrifice himself for you than you for him," Patamon replied. "Don't be stupid! Kari doesn't want you to die!"

"Kari..."

Tai fell down to his knees and looked on towards the battlefield. He grasped his digivice tightly and hoped for a comeback from the mega. He wished for a miracle to rise to the occasion and save War Greymon from certain death. War Greymon screamed out with tremendous bloody murder as his ribs were being crushed under the demon's foot weight. HE felt nearly every ounce of his life force being drained away. Was this the end for the brave mega warrior?

"Theres no hurry, my friend! You can suffer more! Suffer terrible agony! Scream like you've screamed before! Do you enjoy eternal pain?"

The venom from Devimon's voice was enough to set off everyone and it caused Tai's blood to boil like never before. But the boy held back as he knew the consequences of losing his own life in the process. Leomon could not even move as he knew that his power was much too low. He couldn't save War Greymon and fighting Devimon in his current condition would be considered sucicide. Devimon looks over to Leomon and smirks.

"Just be patient, Leomon. You'll get your turn soon. Why don't you take this moment to use whatever you want? C'mon, I'm right here! I'll give you a head start."

"Why? You'll only dodge it again.."

War Greymon cried out as Devimon pressed his foot deeper and the screams were enough to scare Kari and TK. Kari held onto TK as tears came down her eyes.

"It's horrible! I can't bear to hear that screaming! TK! Don't tell me that this is going to be the end!"

"Kari! We have to stay tough! I'll protect as much as I can, but we have to believe in ourselves. We have to stand up against that creep. What do you say? I'm sick of being scared and hiding in the shadows! Its time to get tough!"

Kari wiped her tears away as she nodded. The children climbed out of the crater and watched as their digivices started to glow. TK held his digivice and watched as a beam came shooting over towards Patamon. Gatomon and Tai looked on.

"Whoa! Wheres that light coming from?!"

"Tai! Look! It's TK and Kari! Patamon is receiving power from TK! Looks like we're about gain more of an advantage! Hang in there, War Greymon!" Gatomon cried out.

"Patamon! It's time to show this bully what we're made of! It's time to show him the power of Angemon! We took down one Devimon before and we can do it again!"

"Yes! I can feel your hope coarsing through me! I can feel my power growing! Thank you, Takeru. It's my time to shine!"

"Digivolve!"

(Digimon Zero One Evolution theme "Brave Heart" plays)

"Patamon shinka!!"

The digivice lit up as Patamon underwent a magnificent transformation. His body started to increase in size from that of a small mammal into that of a large, human-like figure. The figure grew numerous angel wings on his back and his body became more muscular. A helmet formed over his face and a long golden rod appeared in his hands. The angelic figure came flying out of the light and stood before everyone.

"Angemon!!"

"Alright! Angemon!" Tai exclaimed.

"Way to go, Patamon! Now Devimon is in for it," Gatomon said.

"Show him what you're made of!" TK exclaimed. "Don't hesitate. You can finish him."

Angemon nodded as he turned to face Devimon with deadly intentions. The invader looked on with shock as his device started to pick up a new energy reading from the newly evolved digimon.

"Yes. Angemon has the holy advantage over Devimon," Leomon said. "no matter how powerful this Devimon may consider himself to be, he will be very vulnerable to everyone of Angemon's holy attacks."

"Angemon...you can do it.." War Greymon muttered. "You've got the holy advantage...I'm pretty much worn out.."

Devimon's eyes widened as he finally picked up Angemon's official power level through his device. He couldn't believe that a champion was able to achieve such a power level from a short burst of desperation on a little boy's part. He looked as if he were about to have a heart attack.

"His power level is at a...1307?! No!!"

Angemon powered up as he flew right over at Devimon with his fist stretched back. His fist started emitting a bright light. Devimon was easily blinded by this holy light and was unable to detect Angemon's chi movement. The angelic warrior calls out as he prepares to unleash his ultimate attack on the distracted devil man.

"Hand of Fate!!"

Angemon's fist punches right through Devimon's armored chest. Devimon cried out as Angemon's powerful fist caused a dent right into Devimon's armor. Devimon goes staggering backwards as Angemon kneeled. The angelic warrior had used up most of his energy from that assault on Devimon. TK and Kari cheered on for the angel while everyone else were wiping their foreheads in relief. War Greymon quickly got up onto his feet and snatched Devimon from behind and applied full nelson to restrain the devil man.

(End theme)

"Way to go, War Greymon!" Tai cried out. "What an awesome comeback! Alright, we can take it from here, Angemon!"

Devimon struggled as War Greymon held tightly onto Devimon. The invader tried everything within his power to break free of the mega's grip. Leomon looks and began to gather more energy for his repeated attack.

"I can't believe that you still have power!!"

"Leomon! Do it again!! You're going to have to try it again! Angemon was able to get a good hit in! We have to really hurry!"

"Alright! I've just started as you can see. I will need some time again! Why didn't you just grab his damned tail?!"

"Because, he'll just cut it off. I'm not that stupid."

"Curse you, Agumon! Damn those kids for doing this to an elite such as myself! I've been overpowered by children's digimon?!"

Devimon started to struggle once again as War Greymon held tighter. The grip from War Greymon was slowly starting to loosen, but Devimon was much to weak to even make a counterattack. The holy fist was able to stun the devil man completely.

"Damn that boy and his Angemon! That strike of his has left me weakened! Let me go, Agumon! You'll die too if he kills me! Don't you even care!!"

"Well, it'll definitely worth the payoff!"

"War Greymon! No! You can't do this! Just move out of the way!" Tai cried. "You don't have to do this!"

"I must, Tai! It's the only way to defeat this menace and insure that he never returns again!"

"But, there has to be another way!" Kari cried out.

"I'm afraid that I'll have to agree with War Greymon on this," said Angemon. "He'll give his own life to ensure your protection, Taichi. He will do this to destroy Devimon for good."

"But...I just...I can't watch..."

The goggle boy was much too stunned to even watch as he looked down to the ground. The worst thing that could possibly happen was his own digimon giving up his life to save another. Tai would have done this if his own sister were the one who was about to be murdered by a heartless monster. Tai would be doing the same thing as War Greymon was doing now.

"What?! Are you insane, Agumon?! Have you lost your mind?! You'll die as well!"

"If it's the only way to defeat you, then so be it.."

"War Greymon. This is it. You better have second thoughts, because this will be for the last time. Have you made your decision?"

"Yes..."

"Very well. This blast will be enough to destroy you both!"

"No!! Leomon!!" Tai cried out. "There has to be another way to ensure a victory!!"

"Aren't you ready yet?!" War Greymon cried out. "My ribs are broken!!"

"Let me go, Agumon! I promise to leave this digital plane for good!"

"Don't start that bullshit again. You won't blind me again. You're tricks won't save you from this."

Leomon forms an energy wave through his fingertips as he looks towards his primary target once again. He makes a direct target towards Devimon's chest. The damaged armor exposed an opening into Devimon's bare chest.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, War Greymon. Prepare yourself!"

"Do it, Leomon! Do it now!!"

"No, wait!" Tai exclaimed.

"No! You can't do this!!" Devimon cried out. "This can't be happening to me!"

"Lion's Wrath!!"

Suddenly, everything went into slow motion just as Leomon fired his finishing beam towards a restrained Devimon. Tai cried out and War Greymon was prepared to meet his fate within several seconds. The blast came ever so closer as Devimon's eyes widened and his once precious life was flashing before his very own eyes. There were sudden heartbeats throughout the whole scene. Tai had sudden tears coming down his eyes just as he was about to witness the downfall of his very own digimon partner. War Greymon was set to sacrifice himself to destroy Devimon.

Elsewhere, the masked person looked on from a tree. He witnessed what was about to occur. he had seen Tai expose his weaknesses and War Greymon about to sacrifice his own life. He started to speak on behalf for the goggle boy.

"Tai. This is not the end for War Greymon. This is just only the beginning, my friend. You two are about to embark on a journey after this fight is over."

Just what is this masked man talking about? Will War Greymon actually sacrifice his own life for the sake of others and will Tai pull through his sudden nervous breakdown?
