David: Yeah, we could use a little warm-up.

Kara: Damn, he's gone! At least, your dad helped War Greymon and Leomon waste that ass.

SSJ4T: Hey, guys! I'm glad you managed to come on. So, are you up to seeing Gatomon and Patamon enduring some tough ass training?

Free Your Mind! The Harsh Training of Hell!

xxxxx

The training grounds were beautiful and peaceful as it always was. There were no signs of any particular activity taking place since the Gorillamon incident six months ago. All of that peace and quiet would once again give way to a loud eruption and the clash of punches being thrown at rapid speed. The mountains were slightly shaking as a result from the after effects.

Gatomon and Patamon pounced right after their sparring instructor, Leomon. With rapid speed, they attacked the brave warrior head on with a barrage of attacks. Leomon easily countered each of their blows and didn't break a sweat. TK and Kari were looking on from a safe distance. They were anxious to see if their training would pay off.

As soon as the duo went for another frontal attack, Leomon smirked and quickly phased away quickly. This managed to catch the two off guard. Gatomon jumped down as she looked around and could not pick up Leomon's scent.

"Hey! Where did he go?"

"Gatomon, we better keep an eye-"

But just as Patamon was about to finished, Leomon reappeared behind Patamon and delivered a chop to the back of his head. Gatomon managed to react, but Leomon kicks her away as if she were a soccer ball.

"You two better look around you!"

"But you went too fast! We couldn't see you!" Patamon grumbled.

"You shouldn't see. You should be able to feel my presence."

"We'e tried doing that, but you're too darn fast!" Gatomon replied. "Give us a break here!"

Leomon took that to consideration as he shoots out two energy beams from his eyes. The beams came shooting out and blasted the duo. Gatomon and Patamon were laid out from the beams. Leomon stood tall with a disappointed look on his face.

"Now thats some harsh training," TK remarked. "I wouldn't want to be Patamon right about now."

"Or Gatomon for that matter," said Kari.

"If you two have time to complain, then you have time to act!!" Leomon bellowed. "Remember this, you only have six more months left. You will eat, sleep and fight with me! Prepare yourselves! I didn't pick you two just because I like you!"

"ugh. You could have told us that," the feline muttered.

"No kidding. We'll die. We can't endure training this harsh," said Patamon.

"Either that or become stronger, especially when you digivolve. You two are to be stronger than me and the two invaders who come to destroy us."

The two digimon stood with dumbfounded looks on their faces. Leomon took advantage of this as he began another frontal assault on the duo. They reacted and started to maneuver away from the warrior's attacks.

"You two call that defense?! Concentrate! That's not enough! Look! I'm trying to kill you! Attack me!"

TK and Kari cringed as they watched their digimon attempt everything to block out ever one of Leomon's attacks. The training would soon intensify as the months pass by. It would only be a matter of time before Patamon and Gatomon would become strong enough to defend the digital world against the digital invaders. But little did TK know that his own brother was among those invaders. He couldn't imagine if his brother was apart of the invaders, but it would soon commence and he would soon find out the truth behind his brother's sudden 'disappearance'.

Meanwhile, from the Other World, War Greymon and Tai were still traveling along the long roadway for the past six months. It was a long road, but they have finally managed to make it towards the end. War Greymon fell down in exhaustion, while Tai wiped his sweaty forehead. He looked up and focused to see a floating planet.

"Yes!! We did it! We're finally here, War Greymon."

"It's about time! I thought I was going to die."

"Heh. Luckily the nice people around the pit stops were able to give us free food. I guess X had let them know ahead of time that we were traveling to see him."

"Yeah. I don't think we could have survived without those meals. But we can finally say that we did it."

"Wanna bet where we could find the planet?"

"Where? Cause I don't see anything at the end of this road. X said that it was at the end of the road."

"It's above us, you goof."

"Ah! There it is! C'mon, there's no time to waste. Grab on and I'll use whatever strength I have left to get us up there!"

"Go for it!"

With that said, War Greymon snatched up Tai onto his shoulder and soars up towards the floating planet. Tai cheered on as War Greymon flew up closer towards X's planet. They looked down as they found a home, but were amazed that such a planet was tiny. Just then, a force of strong gravity pulled them down.

"Ahh! What's going on, War Greymon?!"

"The gravity on this small planet is strong! it's pulling us in as if it were a magnet! I can't resist it! Hang on!"

They landed onto the planet with an unforgiving fall. The fall caused tremendous amounts of pain to their bodies as they strained to get back up onto their feet. War Greymon attempted to pull himself up but the force was holding him down. Tai strained with his strength and his face turned red as a result.

"Damn! This gravity is too strong! How the hell can X ever live on this planet?!" Tai muttered.

War Greymon slowly made it up to his feet and held his own against the strong gravity force. He reaches over, picks up Tai and places him onto his back.

"My whole body feels like lead," the mega replied. "I wonder where X is. We've got to talk about this gravity."

"So, you two managed to make it here. Excellent work. Anybody would have made by the end of the road before they grow old and become deceased. Nobody but myself have managed to travel this road. That is until you two were able to cross this road. I commend you, but I had a feeling you would have made it."

"So, was that like a first part of our training," Tai asked. "Because that sure wasn't something I'd like to call a warm-up."

"You have completed that first section of the training. With that out of the way, I think it is the perfect time to start the second part. Are you up for it?"

"Just one question. Why do you look like that guy from G-Gundam? I swear you look like him."

"Look, Tai! I'm not going to say it again! I may look like that masked dude, but I'm not that same guy! Besides, I'm real and he's not."

"But you sure do look like him."

"Seriously, I could unmask myself if I wanted to, but I would just reveal my secret identity. However, my identity isn't important. What we need to do now is begin your training."

"Alright, but don't take War Greymon lightly. He's ready for anything. We might have been unprepared for Neo Devimon, but we'll be ready for this incoming invasion by these creeps. Patamon and Gatomon are getting trained, right?"

"Yes and they are ahead of us. We really need to get this over with. Now, I want War Greymon to train to attack me head on. Let's see how good you really are."

"Well, I could attack, but I feel so heavy here. I can barely move my body."

"I realize that since you were from the lower regions of the digital universe. You wouldn't be strong enough to endure this much gravity. No wonder you can't move."

"Care to explain to us about this planet of yours," Tai asked.

"Sure. This is my home planet. I live here since I can see a good view of nearly the entire digital universe. It's a very small planet, but it has very powerful gravity. It's about ten times more than from any digital plane within the lower realm and it's gravity is even greater than that of earth's. You two weigh ten times as much. You two try to jump as high as you can."

"Alright."

The duo prepared to jump with everything their body would muster, but it was all to no avail. They couldn't even jump an inch from the ground.

"Damn! It's no good," said Tai. "We can hardly get up!"

"Hmm, they're attempting to jumping that far in ten times their usual gravity? This is going to be an interesting six months."

"So, what's it going to be?" Tai asked once again. "Are we going to get the training or not? Though, I'll admit that this gravity isn't doing us favors."

"Alright, I'll give War Greymon the lessons. So, how much time do we have left again?"

"I don't know the full detail," the goggle boy replied. "Plus, I've lost count on the many days we've spent traveling on that roadway. But I don't think there is time left."

"He's right. As you know, those two invaders are coming to the lower realm and they're going to destroy it. Just teach us as much as you can, in the little time we've got left."

"Invaders, huh? Yeah, I've seen what they are capable of. I've been watching them. They're bad SOBs. I'm glad I was able to find you."

"Could you tell us when they are due on the lower realm?"

"Sure, Tai. I can learn when they arrive on the lower realm. Usually, my predictions come true."

X looked out towards the skies as he began picking up a pair of very strong chis traveling through the outer regions of the digital universe. He looks through their travelling route and he locates it directly towards the lower realm itself. He turned to face the duo as he began to speak.

"Oh yeah. We've got some flying invaders alright. They're on a pace towards the lower realm in about 158 earth days."

"Wow! That's cool! You're able to know when a person comes and goes from a certain point within the digital universe," Tai said.

"Now, it's going to be 158 earth days?"

"Oh don't worry about it, War Greymon. It'll be more than enough. To be precise, 158 earth days with me is like a few thousand digital earth years of training on earth."

"Whoa! No kidding?!" the boy exclaimed with joy.

"Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that you are going to win against them," X replied. "These invaders are very strong, but not as strong as me. I could have kicked their asses in a heartbeat."

"I wouldn't doubt that," Tai said. "You're the man! You practically can see nearly the entire digital universe and can predict time."

"Well, I can't predict time. I'm not god you know. Now,if you have any hopes of beating them, then you two will train under my wing. Shall we get started?"

"So, what now?"

"I think it's time that I show you how to free your mind."

"Free my mind?"

"Yes, Tai. We'll use this training stimulation program. It's one of my favorites and I hope you'll like it too."

X walks over and places a cd into a laptop. He then types in a password and uploads the stimulation program. Tai and War Greymon watched as the whole planet turned into the top of a building. X faces them as he finishes the upload.

"Whoa! This is some cool shit!" Tai exclaimed. "I wish I had something like this! But haven't I seen this in a movie before?"

"Yeah, The Matrix. It inspired me to create this program."

"So, why do I have to free my mind?"

"Tai, until you and War Greymon can overcome this gravity, there's no point in anything else. Your first lesson is to simply free your mind."

X raced across the building and phases out towards the other side of another building within mere seconds. This caught both War Greymon and Tai by surprise. X faced them with a smirk.

"Alright, Tai! Your turn!"

"Ok, free my mind. Free my mind. I got it. I got this."

"Hmmm. I wonder if he'll make it? Nobody ever makes it over on their first try. Nobody. We'll just see how this plays out,"the masked man thought.

Tai dashed across and goes to jump off, but he found himself not even jumping across and falling towards the ground. He screamed and fell through the concrete floor, though it became a blubbery substance and bounced Tai back out. Tai fell face first and noticed that some blood was in his mouth.

"Hey! This is a stimulation program! It's not supposed to be real!"

"Your mind makes it real."

"So, it proves Izzy's theory that if I were to get hurt here then I'll be severely injured in the other world."

"He's right," X said. "Your body can't live without the mind. If your mind is not strong enough, then your body will fail."

"Man, I'm not so sure if I can do this."

"Yes, you can. Tai, you and War Greymon have to do this. Trust me. I know what I'm doing. This training will help you once the time comes to stop the invaders. Please, do this for Sora."

Just then, Tai's eyes opened as he heard the name of the girl who he considered his closest friend. He had to do this to protect everyone of his friends, including his sister and Sora.

"So, what's it going to be Tai?"

"I'll continue. I'll do what it takes to protect my friends. Especially my sister and not to mention, Sora!"

The girl's name brought a smile to X's face and he begins to become impressed with the boy's sudden resurgence to defend his loved ones.

"I'd knew you would come through. You were the right choice. Protect Sora at all costs."

X turns off his stimulation program and everything returns to normal. Tai and War Greymon find themselves back on the planet. Tai gets up and walks over to X slowly.

"X, don't you get bored on this small planet?"

"No way. Let's put it this way, to an enlightened mind such as myself, the smallest world holds fascination without end. I can see nearly the entire digital universe and I can pick up nearly every known activity that occurs. Besides, I love training myself here. I still need to work my body out, so I can maintain my power. Now let's go on and try that stimulation program again. Otherwise, our training stops here."

"We'll do our best."

"Oh and War Greymon? I'd keep that heavy armor on. It'll be better exercise that way."

"What?! But with these on, I can hardly move."

"Let me tell you something, the world where the invaders came from has gravity at least as great as this."

"Oh. I see."

"Do you begin to see where they get their great strength? Not to mention their inborn fighting instincts. You can't imagine how deadly they are."

"Alright! I say we work our asses off! C'mon, War Greymon! We've got some training to do! We're going to be complete bad-asses after this training gets done!"

"I'm with you! Let's do it!"

"That's the spirit, guys. Now you're talking my language. How I've missed when he used to say that…"

xxxxx

Back in the lower realm, Gatomon and Patamon were both sporting heavy bruises across their faces. They had taken a hard beating after their training with the strict teacher, Leomon. They had never been with such a stern instructor and under serious training such as this. TK and Kari nearly took it hard and they were eyewitnesses to the training sessions that took place. But they knew it was the best for their digimon, in order to help them get stronger.

"Well, at least these six months managed to toughen up you two. I'm glad you're not whining like you were during the first month."

"Yeah, but you knew that we were going to get tougher," Patamon replied.

"We're not as weak as you claim us to be," the feline said. "Tell me. You fought many warriors before, right?"

"I fought to survive. But now, I fight to make myself stronger and I feel good about it. My arch nemesis is named Ogremon. He and I have fought many battles and I clobber him nearly every time. It was an endless battle and I've thrived for better challenges, which is when Neo Devimon arrived. I finally found a challenge and eventually helped you to defeat him. That was my biggest victory to date."

"I see. What are our chances of beating these invaders?"

"I'd say we have a chance once War Greymon returns, but chances are still kind of slim. We'll just see what happens from here."

Gatomon and Patamon looked towards each other. They were now beginning to wonder how they will manage to increase their power to the way they wanted and they were still not sure if these invaders were strong enough to exterminate them. Kari and TK were also thinking of the same thing. Could they actually pull off a victory and win?

xxxxx

Forty days and forty nights have passed since Tai's arrival on X's planet, War Greymon had continued his training. He and Tai were able to perfect the stimulation programs and easily freed their minds.

War Greymon and Tai both jumped over numerous of holographic buildings and fought their way through stimulated enemy digimon.

"Whew! What a work out, War Greymon! I'd say we recommend everyone to this back home! This beats any video game! X! We've perfected this program. Nobody can top us now!"

"Except me, of course."

"Well, no doubt. You're the one who made created this program. You think you could go back home with me and we could make huge bucks off of this bad boy?"

"I would and I think that's one hell of an idea, but my programs are not for sale. Sorry, man."

"No sweat. I can understand. I wouldn't want any grubby hands to downgrade this thing. Man! We managed to overcome all of these obstacles, War Greymon! I think we're ready for almost anything now."

"You're right. I feel a lot lighter and I think my strength has increased. X sure wasn't kidding about the gravity here. It has really helped."

"Yeah, he's as great as I hoped. I knew I picked the right Digi-Destined. There's only 118 days left remaining and he could be the one to master the ultimate technique. I just know it and I trust in him."

"So, what else is there to learn from? I'm anxious to know," War Greymon asked.

"So, you think you're ready?! Well, my training is much tougher than you can imagine! You really think that you can take it?"

"We're ready. He's ready," Tai said. "We'll give it a shot!"

"But let me warn you! You have to be the best! You have to be the greatest fighter known in the digital universe! You have to be physically and mentally strong in every other way!"

"Let's do it!"

"But first, let's get something to eat. My stomach is really kicking my ass."

This caused War Greymon and Tai to both fall on their backs in disbelief. X walks off as his grumbling stomach was heard throughout the planet.

xxxxx

Back in the lower realm, the Digi-Destined watched as their digimon finished their hard training with Andromon, Piximon and Centaurumon.

"Thank you all for sparring with us," Andromon said. "We really appreciate it. We kindly ask you to let us handle it. We couldn't take it if you children were to get involved.

"But, Andromon, what if you end up getting killed?" Mimi asked. "We couldn't take if any of you died."

"It's better than to see you all perish. You children are very valuable to the digital world. Please try to understand," said Centaurumon.

"Well, it seems the students have far surpassed the teacher. This is my gratitude to you. You've made me proud," Piximon said.

"Piximon. Not you too," Sora replied.

There was sudden sadness upon the entire Digi-Destined. Their digimon helped train with the strong trio, but they were told not to interfere with the battle. This was best for the children, especially since they are considered a valuable asset in saving the entire digital world. Without them, the digital world would be in shambles.

"Just leave the future of this world in our hands now," Andromon replied. "We will help your allies."

"Good luck, and thank you," Sora said. "Tai. Why haven't you returned yet? I thought you'd be back by now.."

xxxxx

Elsewhere, Gatomon and Patamon were easily keeping up with Leomon's training. They were getting faster and stronger after each session. It was only a matter of time before they would match up against Leomon.

"Yes! You're gaining control of your energy! Keep it up! You two are doing it!"

xxxxx

Back in the other world, X sparred with War Greymon and easily countered the mega with an incredible energy blast. War Greymon was sent flying back from the tremendous blast, and it left Tai speechless.

"No! Damn it! That's not enough, War Greymon! You're going to have to concentrate if you hope to stand up against the invaders!"

xxxxx

And so the battle hour draws near. Our heroes train hard and gain control of their energy. However, the invaders are getting closer to the lower realm. In just a few days, they will land on the lower realm and begin their path of destruction. Can our heroes stop them in time?

(Preview)

X: Yo, this is X! My greatest students, Tai and War Greymon, have now completed their training and they are on their way home. But little do they realize that the invaders have now arrived in the lower realm.

War Greymon: Tai! We better hurry! I'm sure those invaders will get a good kick out of the new technique I've obtained.

Tai: You said it! Let's go!

Leomon: Damn! I thought we would have more time! The invaders have landed and they're stronger than I've imagined!

TK: No! They're here…What?! Who is that?!

Etemon: So, this is the lower realm? Look at these shrimps! We ought squash them!

Matt: TK? Heh. I've come to take you back with me and make you apart of our elite. Tai, I'll be waiting for you. We've got a score to settle. I will prove that I'm the right choice to lead the Digi-Destined.

TK: Matt? It couldn't be!

Kari: Next time on Digimon Fusion, episode eight!

The Arrival of the Digital Invaders! TK realizes the truth!

Patamon: Don't miss it!

SSJ4T: Well, we're just a chapter away from the actual battle itself. It will be intense!

Tike: Hey uncle Tai is going to battle Matt? Man, this is whacked shit!

Kara: It ought to be good. I can't wait till they do battle.

David: You know we're up for anything you write, dude.

Max: So, who's up for the next show?

SSJ4T: Well I convinced Metabee to show up next time. He agreed and will be on. I've also asked Lime from Saber Marionette to show up.

Max: Who's that? What's Saber Marionette?

SSJ4T: It's an anime about these android girls who live on a planet where women are non-existent. It's basically almost like Tenchi, since these girls live in the home of a guy. These androids have hearts though.

Max: Ah, I see. I'm up for a Ro-Battle!

SSJ4T: So am I! You up for a challenge?

Max: Let's do it! The winner gets to host the show next time.

SSJ4T: You're on! Until then…

Tike: Get the fu-

Kara: What he means is, peace out guys!
