DISCLAIMER: I do not own Big O or any of the characters

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Big O or any of the characters. All are property of Sunrise and their respective parties. Digimon belongs to Toei and their respective parts. I don't own either show. I am not making any money on this story either. Now I own Mary Sanderous, Nivernmon, Aggymon, Metal Aggymon, Metal Nivernmon, the Crest of Order, and the Digi Egg of Order. Please don't use them without my permission.

AURTHOR NOTES: This story is a Big O Digimon Crossover. This story also features some of my own theories about Big O as well. This is also a slight AU for the Digimon part of the story, Gatomon has the ably to go to her Ultimate Level of Angewoman, without any type of help, like she did in the First Season of the show, plus she also can Armor Digivole as well. This goes the same with the first season Digidestined as well. I am also including the third movie sentiment of the Digimon Movie, the one with Willis, even if that part of the movie dose not takes place in the story line of the show.

I am sorry about the long explanations in the stories, but I am writing this for fans of Big O that hasn't seen a signal episode of Digimon of either season. I don't want them to feel like they are lost in the story telling, for I used a lot of references from that show.

SETTING: Reminder the Digimon Episode of His Master's Voice, the episode where Kari is brought to another part of the Digi World by other Digimon. At the end of the episode we see a huge shadowy Digimon with red eyes come out of the water. What if she wasn't really in the Digital World, but in Paradigm City and that huge Digimon-like creature weren't a Digimon, but a Megadeus?

Deemed worthy by the faiths, the team goes back to Paradigm, but unknown to them, Alex Rosewater steps up his plans for the city and this world. While that is going on Izzy and Joe make a shocking discovery.

Special Notes: In the light of the acts of terror that our nation suffer on Sept. 11, 2001 in both NYC and Washington DC, this chapter's battles scenes are NO way glorify the destruction of the World Trade Centers Towers and the Pentagon. I wrote this chapter a week before these events happen, but since FanFiction.net was down most of the time, I had no way to upload this before these events. I morn the lose of all of the lives in both buildings and if know anybody work in either of these buildings, I hope that you know where they are. If you don't, I prey with you in hopes that they are very much alive right now. God Bless you all.

Keepers of the Light

Chapter 12: Taking on the Beast

It had almost been a week since Alex Rosewater had fought against these creatures that he knew as Digimon. He was socked at the power that they had within them. They had token down his wraith-like thing without a breaking a sweat, but he couldn't allow that to stop him from his plan. This was just a small set back for him, nothing that he couldn't overcome; he had overcome much worst things that this, but it was the most annoying thing for him. This was because just children and their little pets defeated him and it was something that bugged him. So much that he had to leave the room where the wraith-like thing was being repaired.

One of the workers noticed that and thought that it was a little odd for him to do something like that. Even with that, he knew that it was better to wonder what was going through his mind rather than ask about it, this was because the people that did were never heard from again. So the worker went back to his job of repairing that thing, a thing that he had no clue what the heck it was. It was better for him to do that, for he had a family to take care of and this was one of the few jobs that he was offer that would take care of his family.

"How is the work going?" Asked Angel.

"Slow, Miss Lovejoy, that huge bug thing fry a lot more than a first thought," answered Alex.

"Witch one?" Asked Angel.

"The blue one, it fired a huge electric ball at the thing and disable it, but this dose not stop us," answered Alex. "Good day, Miss Lovejoy."

With that Alex walked out of the room to let her oversee the rest of the work that was going on with the wraith-like thing that she knew was the ultimate work that all of the scientists that were under his control had worked on. It had when beyond the work that his father had started with the Megadeuses, for no matter how close they got the life cycle of a Digimon, these Digimon would still kept their independent nature within them, looking for the person that they were meant to be with. This thing they had made within a lab with all of the traits of a Digimon, but with their independent nature, this thing would do what they wanted no matter what. That was something that the Megadeuses wouldn't do, even Big O that was made before that Digimon could get it true form, they still couldn't take out the wild independent nature that it had. That happen until it meet up with Roger, when he did it clam down, but not because they had control it, but because it had meet up with his true partner, the one that he was meant to be with. When that happen they knew that was no way that they could control him no matter what they would throw at him to temp him to veer away from Roger, he would stay with him no matter what.

Even with that, Angel knew that it was wrong, no one should have the power to both create and destroy. That was a power that was to powerful to wheel like a simple farm tool to cut down weeds, she knew that this world had though that lesson once, but it look like that they didn't learn that lesson. What Alex Rosewater was doing right now, was a clear sign of that and she didn't know who this world was going to react to that. The only thing that she knew was to delay what he was doing, for she knew that there was nothing in any world that could stop what he was doing, he would eventually get what he wanted.

That what she was doing, she walked out of the room where the wraith-like thing was being repair and when she did, she felt like a great weight was lifted from her chest. She didn't like to be in the same room with that thing, she could feel the evil that it was form from. That was something that she stand no matter how much she would get paid for being there, it was just something that she felt was eating away at her soul.

She walked a couple of hundred yards from that place and found herself in forth of another door and with that she open up the door. In there she found herself inside another huge room where the ceiling open up to a cathedral-like ceiling and she look around to find out where the room had such a half ceiling. This was because there was another Megadeus-like robot sitting standing there, waiting for somebody to used it. She walked up to it, to find out more about the thing and she found out that it was another one of the Big class of the Megadeuses the same class that both Big O and Big Duo belong to. Knowing that, she knew the name of this Megadeus was, it was Big Trio, the third one of this class and with that she knew what she had to do. She had to free this Digimon from this unnatural state that it was in right now, it was the least she could do to a follow Digimon.

So she pull out a little bottle that was full with a green liquid in it.

"I hope that Gennai is right about this, that it can break down this unnatural state that this Digimon is in right now," said Angel.

After that Angel open up the bottle and through the liquid on the golden Megadeus. She hopped that she would be able to free this Digimon from that state that it was forced into. Seconds after that the area where she throws the liquid on started to glow yellow and then the armor of the Megadeus broke. The only sign of this Megadeus was still around was the yellow silhouette that was in the shape of the Megadeus and the light when into a much smaller form of a Rookie Level Digimon that she knew. She who that Digimon was, it was Penguinmon, the ice-base bird that lived in the cold region of the Digi World.

"Where I am?" Asked Penguinmon. "Who are you?"

"I am friend," said Angel. After that Angel changed her shape to a bird-woman Digimon that was white in color and she had some armor on that was around her neck and on her legs. She was Swanmon, but unlike the normal Swanmon, she had two arms plus her two white wings. Each arm themselves also had the same type of armor. Also the armor that was around her neck had a blue jewel that was in the center of the armor.

"I know who are you are, you are Swanmon, but you aren't a normal Swanmon," said Penguinmon.

"Yes, but I don't have the time to explain things, I hear to take you back to the Digi World, where you belong to," said Angel as Swanmon. With that Swanmon picked by Penguinmon from the ground and then the two of them flew up to top of the ceiling.

"Down Tornado!" She yelled and seconds after that her white wings flapped and it caused a huge blast of wind. The blast of wind causes the top of the ceiling to freeze.

"White Mariel!" She yelled again and this time wind didn't come out of her wings but feathers that cut the ice into tiny pieces that open up the room so that the two of them could be free of this place. With that she blasted the one of the glass domes that free them to go up to the true sky of this place and with that they made their way to where the Digi Port was located at in this world.

When they reach the location of where the one of the Digi Ports was located in this place, the jewel that was located on Swanmon's chest armor started to glow blue and after that the gray cloud sky parted way to reveal the bright world that was the Digiworld. Seeing that Swanmon through Penguinmon into the world without saying anything to the other Digimon, when that was over with the Port closed. With that Swanmon floated down and after that she shape shifted back to her human form that was known as Angel or Patricia Lovejoy. Then she started to walk back to the building where the wraith-like thing was located. She didn't like the fact that she was doing that, but she didn't want to raise any suspicions that she wasn't the person that she was playing right now. She knew that she had a job to do and that job was to investigate what Alex Rosewater was doing to this place, she wasn't put here to start a fight with Rosewater that was somebody else job right now.

Speaking of Rosewater he was his office looking at all of the reports that were given to him by all of the people that where under him. He could see that everything was going to what he wanted right now and add bonus to his joy was that Roger Smith hasn't been seen over a week. He knew that joy wouldn't last, he knew that Roger Smith would make his appearance and put a wrinkle into the fabric of his well thought out plan. Even with that, he had fail safe options set up just in case Roger would inference with these plans. One thing that that was the thorn his side was where the Digimon and their human partners, while he knew that they couldn't stop what he was about to do right now, but that didn't mean that they could stop want he had plan in the future.

"So everything is going to plan," said Alex that put down on the pieces of paper on his desk. After that he turned in the direction of a dark spot of his office.

In the dark spot there was a creature that was hiding from the light of the office and the other clues that that thing was there was the dark shadowy figure was located at. It was so dark that Alex couldn't even make out what this thing was, he didn't know if that thing was a man, a creature, or even a Digimon, they only thing that he knew was that thing whatever it was helping him with his ultimate goal with this world. Even if he didn't like the fact that he was working with an outsider, but he did promise to help speed up his plans and put them in action faster than he would even be able to do so.

"Good," the thing said.

"So we can relax and let destiny take its place?" Asked Alex.

"No, you still have to worry about the Digidestined and their Digimon, they might be small, but within their small numbers they have incredible power. Plus we haven't seen all of them and we have to worry about armor dragon," answered the person. "Because of that you must step up the plan, you must give the gift to the child."

Alex knew what he was talking about, he knew what the "gift" was and who was the "child", but he couldn't believe that he was about to do this to this person. Somebody that he thought was a pain and somebody that he felt that didn't deserved this "gift", but if this person in the dark felt like it was right he knew that he shouldn't question his actions. So that what he would do.

"Do you think that this is right?" He asked.

The person in the dark nodded his head as his answer. "You forget, the 'gift', dose not help a person, it acts like a guide to help them, the talent for the purpose must hidden within that person."

Alex slightly nodded his head at that and with that he knew what he had to do. So he picked up a folder with the subject that he would used in this.

"Wouldn't he be surprise when he find out about this," said Alex.

The dark person nodded his head at that and with that Alex walked out of the office. In doing that he left the folder on the desk and because of that the dark person walked out of the little dark spot that he was in so that he could take a look at the folder to find out who this person was. In doing that he relive to anybody that was inside of the room with him, that he wasn't a person, well not a person in the way that Alex thought he was. The person was a demon that was dress in a red robe that covered most of all of his body expect for the pair of horns that stuck out of the hood of his red robe and the huge pair of wings that were located on his back. Each one of the wings had hand-like thing that was had claws as well.

The red robe of his had many symbols, but the most striking one out of the group was the one that was on the hood of his robe. The symbol was an upside down star with the top point facing downward and the center of the star was an eye, all of this was golden in color. Rest of the symbols was ran down the both sides of his robe and they were also the eye symbol as well. Also he was wearing a necklace as well.

The demon type Digimon that was know as Daemon picked up the folder that was in Alex's hands so that he could take a look at the folder to find out who he had picked. He opens up the folder and he found who the person was, the person that Alex had picked was Beck Gold. With that Daemon knew what the "gift" was going to be, it was coming to be the ably to pilot a Megadeus in the same fashion as how Roger did, not in the idiotic fashion that he did before.

"So Alex has found a pilot for that thing that he had created," said Daemon.

Seconds after that Daemon silvered and with that he knew that the Digidestined and the Digimon had came back to this world. Even if he couldn't see it happen he knew that it did happen because he could feel their power.

"So the die has been cast, there is no turning back from this point," said Daemon.

Daemon was right, the Digidestined and their Digimon had returned back to this world. That caused all most all of the Digimon to devolved back into their Rookie states expect for Big O, whom was forced to stay in that Mega-Level State.

All of the Digidestined watched as that thing walked down the streets of this city and doing that they got a clear sing of how big that thing was truly was. It was a big as most of the buildings in this city and watch as the people that were out about at the same time as that thing, got out of the way when they saw it. Seeing that they all knew that thing commanded respect by the people that called this place home and with they knew that this thing wasn't something that they would like to mess with no matter what.

The watched as that thing lifted one of his huge legs and with all of the force that it could muster smashed the street down. Thus creating a huge hole in the ground in witch that thing went through and because of that it went underground away from their sight. Also out sight of the two of them, both Roger and Dorothy got out of the Megadeus as it headed back to his house via the partial repair subway system that snaked it way through the entire streets of this city.

Roger and Dorothy walked up to where entire group of Digidestined was waiting. He recognized some of the Digidestined and there were others that he didn't recognized that went the same as the Digimon as well. He only knew that they were Digimon because of the similar appearance that each one had. He also saw that the ones that he didn't know was a majority of this group of children and with that he knew that all of these introductions was going to be long. Plus he had no clue that some of these Digidestined came from other countries besides Japan and United State of America, because of that they didn't speak English that well. They were Rosa, Yuri, Sonya, and Anna this was because Rosa came from Mexico and the other three came from Russia.

Tai, Davis, and Marry acted as human barriers between Roger and the rest of the other Digidestined. This was because these three had the most experienced with him and knew how he would react to them when they gave him the names of the other Digidestined.

"Okay, people we have one shot at this," said Marry.

"So you better do this right," said Tai.

"You can count on me," said Davis.

Marry saw that the two of them were heading in their direction and with she knew that it was time.

"Here's goes nothing," said Marry.

Roger and Dorothy walked up to where the trio of Digidestined was located.

"Who is that guy?" Asked Sora.

"Yes, I would also like to know," said Mimi.

"That goes the same with me," said Willis.

"You will find that on, soon," said Izzy.

"Okay," said Willis.

"All right, I know you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, and you," said Roger and while he was saying that, he pointed to the different children that he had seen before. That included Marry, Izzy, Tai, Ken, Davis, T.K., and Kari. "But I don't know the rest of your can you please introduced me to rest of this pretty large group of people."

Hearing that Izzy, Ken, T.K., and Kari moved out of the way to make it easier for Tai, Marry, and Davis to pointed to the people that they were going to introduce to Roger and Dorothy, that also included the Digimon that were around the children.

"Okay, let me start with my group of friends," said Tai.

The first person that he pointed to was Matt, that was dress in same type of outfit that both Tai and Izzy were dress in. That was a green blazer with a white-collar shirt and a pair of brown color pants. Roger also notices that this person's hair was different from Tai's, his hair was yellow and he has a pair of blue eyes.

"This is Matt Ishida," said Tai.

Roger meets up with Matt and after that he meet up with the rest of the other Digidestined that were around them. The order that it went was the original Digidestined, the ones that were with under Tai's leadership, he meet up with Joe, Sora, and Mimi. After that he meet up with the International Digidestined and the group of people included the ones that were independent of both Tai's and Davis's group of, they also didn't life in Japan. With that he meet up with Lou, Maria, Steve, Micheal, Phil, Willis, Rosa, Derek, Mina, Catherine, Sonya, Yuri, Anna, and the three Hoi Brothers. While he was being introduced to all of these children he also introduced to their Digimon as well. Even with the time that they sent on training Roger on the different names it still was a little confusing for Roger, and the only ones that he was sure on was were the ones that were either a part of Davis's or Tai's group of people. The rest he still had trouble with, but he figure out that he would evenly in the long run figure out who was who, but he knew that he would have to learn their names before he would go into battle.

"Now that is out of the way, I think that we should take on this Rosewater guy," said Davis.

"I have a question, how? We just can't go in there with guns a blazing and just hope for the best," said Marry.

"Why, it work before," said Davis.

"Yes, in the Digiworld, but it won't work in this world. I know for a fact that it dose not work, I have seen happen before and fail," said Roger. "The only times that I have seen work are when the person doing it, are extremely dumb or extremely lucky and quite frankly I don't think we have that type of luck. The other option is something that I don't want to be label with."

"Is that so," said Davis.

Roger looked at Davis and he had a look that could turn hot lava into ice. Once again this little kid was questioning him and while he didn't like to be question by anybody. He could handle it if was somebody that was his same age or older, but he couldn't stand if it was coming from somebody that was a lot younger than he was. This Davis person was doing it again to him and he thought that he had learned his lesson once, but he was wrong about this person.

"Are you questioning me? A person that had lived in this world all of their life," started Roger.

Davis was about to say something on this and before he could Roger cut him off. He cut him off hard. "Oh, yes let me hear your wisdom about how we should handle this and don't tell me that you plan is an organized blasting attack, because that also won't work."

"Hey, clam down people, we are allies, not enemies, we shouldn't fight like this," said Sora.

"She is right, this is want Rosewater wants, he wants us to fight among ourselves. Divide and conquer it one of the oldest battle techniques, for God's stakes this petty fighting is pointless and meanness," pleaded Marry. Who had seen this fighting among allies before and how it destroyed alliances before. While most of the broken alliances that she had seen before involved little things like whom would play on who team or who do who shift at work. Here fighting among each other was a dangerous game that these two were playing right now for they won't fighting who would play with each on a team or who would do who work shift. They were saving a world from despair and that was something that was a major task that all of them had undertook. They also had gone too far to be stop simply because two of the allies didn't like each other and that look what was going on right now. That was something that she couldn't allow to have happen to this place.

"How do you know?" Asked Roger.

"Yeah, why should your worry about what happen to us," said Davis.

"Because I have seen this happen before in my life and the end result of this isn't pretty. It is something that I don't want to see happen here, because we are more important to this world than any of us think," said Marry. "I suggest that the two of your stopping acting like little brats who are fighting over the same God dam little toy and start taking a look at the big picture!"

"Which is?" Asked Davis.

What an idiot!? Thought Marry at the stupidly that Davis had inside of him, she couldn't believe this from him. "That we are here to save this world from the darkness that it is currently in right now. Right now, we don't have to like it each other to be allies, but we have to get along if we want to win this war. Now if you don't want to win this war, that fine by me, but I do want to win this war, I want this world to escape this path of darkness that it is currently in right now. If none of you want to do that, it fine by me, but don't get in my way."

"I didn't say that want to save my world, hell do you think I went through that 'Trial by Fire', just because I wanted to. Yes I do want to save my world, do you think I that I don't care. I do care about the well being of this world," said Roger. But not in the fashion that you think added Roger to himself only.

Roger did want to save this world, but his only real goal was to remove Rosewater from the position of power that he had right now. If he archive that goal he would be happy with himself and if he got other things along with that goal that was just and added bonus to him. He didn't save the same happy go lucky that these youngest had right now, even if one of them was his younger sister. This was because he had seen things that had turned his positive outlook in life to a more negative outlook on life and this was something that he didn't want to have happen to these children.

"That is good to hear," said Tai.

Roger turned his attention toward Tai and did a little smile at him. "Thank you, but Marry is right we do need a plan to take out Rosewater."

"I think that we should go back to that place that is underground where we got all of those pictures from," said Marry. "I think that Izzy should be the one that should translate what was written down there."

"She is right, I was also thinking the same path, we should investigate on more of what is down there. From what I heard what we have is only a small fraction of what is down there, it could be the key in saving this world," said Izzy.

Roger nodded his head at that, even if he didn't know Izzy as well as Marry did, what he did see of him was that he was one smart person out this entire group and because of that he figure out that he was the best person to pick to do that job. Even if he did have a Digimon with him that would protect him no matter what, he still felt that he shouldn't go down there alone.

"I think that you should go down there with some protection," said Marry.

"Are you suggesting that you should go down there with him, since your Digimon can go Mega," said Roger.

Me and my big mouth thought Marry. "No, I am not, and there are some pretty powerful Ultimates that we have with us, Zudomon is a pretty powerful Ultimate. I think that Joe and him should go down there. I am right, Joe?"

Joe and Gomamon looked at each other to think about the idea that both Roger and Marry had plan for them. While about four years ago, Joe would of freak with this type of idea of him going in a dark place to help protect somebody beside himself. Now that he was older and had been through a lot he accepted this idea that these two had. Gomamon on the other hand didn't change, he still was his happy go lucky attitude toward things.

"You know Joe, you have changed over the last years, I could reminder a time when you would yelled even at your own shadow," said Gomamon.

"That is true, if Marry or even Tai even suggest that I go there I would of fainted at the news of this. Now, even since I meet up and had my little trips in the Digiworld, I learned that there are worst things to fear that some dark place," said Joe.

"Yeah, like there scary Math tests," said a laughing Tai.

"No, Tai, and yes I will take you up on your idea I will follow Izzy down there. Plus we will need a person down there with him also, to make sure that he dose not get all wrapped up in his laptop computer," said Joe.

"Come on, I am not that bad," said Izzy.

"Yes, you are," said Sora.

"Okay, how that we got that squared away, what are we going to do with the rest of your. I not going to let all of these kids inside of my house. I mean my house is a boarding house, I only let Davis, Kari, T.K., and Ken in my house because they didn't have any place to go. I wouldn't let them out during the night," said Roger.

"Then we are going to go?" Asked Mimi. "We don't know this place like you do."

"What about that hotel that used now and then to put up some people that you feel are in danger?" Asked Dorothy.

Roger turned his attention away from the Digidestined to Dorothy, this was because he was a little socked that she knew about that place. He had only used that place only once when she was with him, but he was also a little happy that she was helping him a little in what he considered a beneficial matter and not an annoying one. Even with that he didn't like the fact that she was stealing his thunder.

"I don't think it is wise to do something like that, even if it the only other place that I do trust in this city. It might draw attention when a whole bunch of children without any type of parents or guardians come inside of that place. I don't know you, but I would think that would be kind of out of place," said Roger. Even in this place added Roger to himself mentally.

"But it is the only place that they have right now, and you don't have to worry about me. Because I can take care of myself," said Marry.

"I know that for sure, but I can't allow that to happen. I don't care if you can take down an entire room full with men, I won't let you run amok in this city. Who knows what will happen to you, since you are a Digidestined," said Roger. That knew for a fact that Marry and her Digimon could take on almost anything that was throw at them. Heck she and her Digimon took on Big O and didn't show any type of fear when she was doing that, she was on the Offensive while he was on the Defensive, which was something that he was one once. That was something that he didn't like, but it did prove a point to him, and that point is that these Digimon were a powerful ally that could hold their own when it was needed. Even with that he knew that couldn't allow Marry and her Digimon to run down the streets of this city, it was totally against everything that he stood for.

"Ah, you are worry about my well-being, I am touch, but I have been in worst spots that here. That is getting of the point, we have to take the rest of other Digidestined to that place of yours," said Marry.

"Okay, I will do it, but this is a risk that I don't like to take and plus how are we going to get there, it is the other side of the city," said Roger.

"Oh, you forget the size of Metal Nivernmon, she can picked up all of these Digidestined and their Digimon, to take them to that place. All we need is your to tell us where it is," said Marry.

"You know doing that, you are exposing yourself," said Roger.

"Personally I don't really care, from what I heard, this Rosewater guy knows about the Digimon," said Marry.

"Yes, we he dose not know about your Digimon," said Roger.

"If she is willing to take that risk, than I say that she should take it," said Davis.

With that Marry told Nivernmon to Digivole into her Mega Level of Metal Nivernmon and she did that. Like before the huge sliver color dragon with the double pair of wings appeared out of the light that Nivernmon's body was cover with. After that everybody went on the back on the Mega-Level Digimon and with that Marry under the direction of Roger made Metal Nivernmon go into the direction of where the hotel was located at.

Like before, Metal Nivernmon cause huge gusts of air when she flapped her wings when she gain enough energy to make herself lift up into the gray skies of this world. Unlike before Metal Nivernmon was going to used her speed that she had, this was because Marry was a little afraid of the sonic style wake that would come when she would used her speed might caused damage to the buildings in this place. That was something that she didn't want to do to this world that already had two strikes against it

"All right, Roger do you stuff," said Marry.

With that Roger pointed in the direction of where they should go and with they were off to that place. While they were doing that, the fear that Roger had about doing this, was confirmed. This was because somebody was looking up in the sky that wasn't a normal citizen of this place and because of that this person knew that what this thing was. They knew that this thing wasn't a Megadeus, even if it was big enough to be one, he knew that it was a Digimon, but that was the only thing that he could do right now. For he didn't have the fire power to take something like that out, the only thing that he could do was to watch where that thing was going and report back to his boss in what he was seeing right now.

"Don't inference with that Digimon, for she is a Guardian type Digimon and because of that she is very powerful. I don't want to lose you because of some stupid mistake," said the person's boss.

"All right," the person said and with that the person ended the transmission that was between the two of them.

With that the person did what he was told, he just kept an eye on the Digimon.

The person that he was talking to was known other than Alex Rosewater the leader of the group that ran almost everything in this city. Right now he was looking over the person that he was going to give the "gift" to and that person was Beck Gold, the same Beck that had caused trouble for Roger twice.

"Do you know why you are here?" Asked Alex.

"No, the only clue that I got was that some big wig guy that is loaded with money has offer to free me from jail so that I could take out a Crow," answered Beck. "I am right, or I am wrong?"

"You are right on that part, but do you know how?" Answered Alex.

"No, and I would love to know how to take out that certain Crow, because every time that I try I fail and you want to know why. It because of that dam Megadeus show up to stop me in all of my plans, I would love to know who to take that thing on and not to lose. Do you know I took that thing on three times and I lose, that bug me," said Beck.

Alex knew what he was talking about, he had seen all three battles that had involved the two of them. He had seen that Beck was outmatch no matter what he had picked as his weapon, the only real change that he had when fighting the Megadeus that Roger had was when he used the Megadeus that was known as Dorothy 1. Even with that, it showed that he did have the latent talent to pilot on them, but he didn't have then up on the surface so that he could obtain then like Roger did.

"I image that dose, to never be able to defeat something like that. Let me tell you that I can give you the ably to do that plus the tool to do so," said Alex.

"What the catch?" Asked Beck.

"Only one," answered Alex. Then he brought up a needle like thing to eye level of Beck. Inside of the needle there was a clear liquid that look like it was water by other thicker. "I inject you with this and you will want until 24 hours for it go into effect. This is your own free will, I am not forcing you into this, you don't have to take this, but if I was you I would take it so I be able to take out that thorn in my side."

Beck paused to think about this for a little bit. This Alex Rosewater guy was offer him something that would be able to take down that black Megadeus that had been stopping him in all of his plans. It would be nice not to have that thing in his way to stop him and he also be nice to also have that "tool" that Alex was talking about to also deal with Roger Smith as well. So Beck made the choice to let this Alex Rosewater to inject him with that clear liquid that was inside of that needle and to find out what he was talking about.

"Okay, I am will take that thing," said Beck.

"Good," said Alex. After that Alex clean up a spot on the back of his neck with a cloth and after that he put the needle in the back of his neck. Then he pushed the liquid off and into Beck, then when it was all gone he pull the needle out of the neck of Beck.

After that Beck didn't feel any different from the injection of the liquid that was put into his body. That surprise him a little, because that something would happen to him as soon as he was over with.

"Is that all?" Asked Beck.

"Yes, but you will have to wait for 24 hours to see the full effect of what I just put into you," answered Alex. "Because of that, I will have to stay here so that you won't be able to hurt yourself."

That puzzle Beck a little and before he could think about what just Alex just told him he was being escorted by two of his men out of the office and two a bed room. Inside of the room there was simple bed that had a white sheet on it and around the bed there was a series of candles that were let.

"Go and rest," one of the men said to him.

Right on queue, Beck felt a little tried and then he found himself on the bed sleeping and dreaming. His dreams won't the peaceful ones, there were a horrible ones that were full with violent images, images that he had no clue what they mean to him. Most of them were so bizarre that he couldn't believe that his mind was even able to think of something like that. The one that had took cake for the most bizarre out of the series of dreams that he had was that he saw a armor thing that was black in color that was about the same size as he was had token out a huge sword. Before Beck could move out of the way of the weapon, the thing had stab in him the stomach. Beck thought that he would experience pains and sees his own blood from the attack, but he didn't see anything or feel anything like that.

Then the thing pull the sword out of the his body and like before there was no pain from the quick movement that thing had done to him.

"You have been pick, don't fail me or I will make you pay for your lack of respect to a God," said the thing.

After the thing had disappeared from his view and then Beck woke up from the weird dream that he had. Doing that he found out that he had sweat on his head and with that he wipes out the sweat from his forehead. With that gone he got up from the bed and he could see that almost all of the candles had burn all of their wax a clear sing that time had past him by, he wanted to know how much time had pass him by. He had no clue that the 24 hours that Alex had told was the time period that was needed for whatever he had injected into him to be effect on his body. The only thing that he knew was that he was awake and he had noticed that he didn't feel different from the time before this Alex guy had injected into him.

He walked up to a mirror to take a look at himself and the first thing that he noticed was that his yellow hair was all mess up a clear sing that he was tossing and turning while he was dreaming. The next thing that he noticed was his face, it was different in a way, almost like he was darker than before and seeing that was the time when he felt different in a strange way. Like he was more assure of him in the same way that Roger had presented himself whenever he saw him. With that made him wondered was the reason why Roger was the way that he was, so dam smug in everything that he did, but he didn't know. The only way that he fine out was to see this Alex Rosewater guy for more information about this "tool" that he was taking about.

The door open up and with that he saw that the two men that had brought him into this room were back. Beck figure out that there were hear to bring him back to wherever Alex Rosewater was located at and still not having a clue what was going on in this place, Beck follow them to wherever this guy was located at. While they were doing that, he noticed that they wouldn't follow the same path that they had took to get him here. That worries Beck a little.

"This isn't the same path that we took to get here," said Beck.

"You are right, this isn't the same path, we are talking to where 'tool' is located at," one of the men answered back.

This made Beck curious, but not in the juvenile fascination that he would normally had whenever something like this, but in a more mature fascination. That was something that he also noticed had be changed even since he had accepted this thing and he felt that this was something that was good.

The found the way to where a door was at and all three of them had stopped.

"Is that where it is located at?" Asked Beck.

"Yes, but you are the only one that can enter into that place," the other one said to him.

Beck didn't know what to say at this, he didn't know what to do. He wanted to go into that place to find out what this thing look like, but another side of him didn't want to go into that place without anybody just in case this was all a trap that was set up by this guy to get ride of him. In the long run the side of him that wanted to know won out over the side that was worry about this. So he open up the door and with that he walked through the threshold between the two different places.

In doing that he saw that this room was totally different from the other room that he was just before. The first thing that he noticed was how high the ceiling was, it was almost 5 hundred feet high and he wanted to know why the ceiling was so high. Then he got his answer to that question, he saw a huge black armor thing was in the center of the place and seeing that he got the feeling of dread because it reminded him of the black Megadeus that he had fought with. Even with that he forced himself to take a closer look at the thing and doing that he noticed that these two things were not the same thing. They didn't even look the same and he didn't understand why he thought that way. The biggest different that was between these two things was the huge series of triangle spikes that were across the arms of this thing, something that the black Megadeus didn't have.

"What is that thing?" Asked Beck.

"Don't you know," said Alex.

Hearing that Beck thought about that thing and with that he knew what he was talking about, that thing was a Megadeus. It wasn't a Megadeus that he had never seen before him is entire life before, it was a totally different type of Megadeus.

"Is that a Megadeus?" Asked Beck.

"Yes, it is," answered Alex.

"Who dose it belong to?" Asked Beck.

"You, this is the 'tool' that I was talking about so that you can take out that other black Megadeus that you have fought with," said Alex.

Beck did a little evil half smile at that.

"I will leave so that the two of your can get to know each other better," said Alex. After that Alex walked out of the room via a door that was behind Megadeus and as soon as he did he was greeted by the same the person that he had talk to earlier when he was in his office.

"I can see the person that who have picked was right, he dose have the desire to take out the Megadeus that is known as 'Big O'. Even with that we have to worry about the Digidestined and their Digimon, especially the Digidestined whom Digimon is the who is the great armor dragon," said the person.

"You mean that big dragon that took out Big Duo?" Asked Alex.

"No, he might of defeated me, but he isn't the one that I am worry about, it is another great dragon that I am worry about. For this one has more than one mode that Digimon can change into," answered the person.

"Who is it?" Asked Alex.

"I don't what Digimon it is," answered the person.

While Beck was going through his dreams, Roger and the Digidestined were busy with their own plans. Marry and Metal Nivernmon had token the rest of the other Digidestined with their Digimon to the hotel that Roger used once in again. After that Marry with the Digidestined that Roger allowed inside of his house returned back to his house, but first they had to stop where the hole in the ground was located at so that Izzy could take a look at the rest of the place. With that Izzy, Tentomon, Joe, and Gomamon went off on the back of Metal Nivernmon so that they could go into that underground place that they were all talking about. After that Metal Nivernmon head back to were Roger called home, having no clue what was going to happen to the four of them.

"I hope they know what they are doing," said Marry.

"So do I," said Kari.

After that Marry turned her attention away from them and in the direction of where Roger's house was located. She didn't like doing this, but she knew that she had to do it, this was on of the hard choices that she had to make in her life and she also knew that this was going to be last one.

Izzy, Joe, Tentomon, Gomamon made their way carefully down to that place and like the others that wen to this place they all saw the condition that it was in. Izzy couldn't understand how a place like could even stand and this confusing got deeper as they went further into the subway like system that was under this city. While they walked they noticed the artwork that was full with angels and with that they noticed the other hole that was in the ground. With that they knew that this was the place that everybody was talking about.

"This must be the place," said Izzy.

"Hey, Izzy, there is just one problem, how are we going to get down there," said Joe.

"Allow me," said Tentomon. After that the pink beetle open up his two pair of wings to start to fly. The first person that he had picked up with Izzy.

"Thanks Tentomon," said Izzy.

"Not a problem," said Tentomon as he took Izzy down to the place. While he was doing that Joe, whom was the oldest out of the Digidestined expect for Marry looked down to see how the two of them were doing. He could see that Tentomon had did his job well, he had token Izzy down there and with that he knew that it was his turn.

"Okay, Tentomon, its my turn," said Joe.

Tentomon look up to see that Joe and his Digimon were waiting for him to pick them up so that they could go down there with Izzy. Tentomon didn't like the idea of this, for Izzy was though for him to carry. He had no clue how it was going to be like when he was carrying these two people together.

"Oh boy this is going to be fun," said Tentomon.

"Come on, Tentomon where the sprit?" Asked Gomamon.

"It went away when we enter this world," answered Tentomon.

"Oh c'mon," said Gomamon.

"All right then," said Tentomon.

"Be careful," said Izzy.

"I will," said Tentomon. After that he went up so that he could pick up these two. When he did he noticed that big weight different that was between the two of them.

"Oh man, Joe what have you been eating, whatever it is, you have to cut down on it," said Tentomon.

Neither Joe nor Gomamon answered that question, they were more worry about if they are going to reach the bottom on this place in one piece. They did and they were happy that they did and after they did Tentomon laid on the ground tried from what happen to him.

"Oh, man I think I need a little nap after that," said Tentomon.

"Okay, Tentomon, but you did what you needed to do, you got us here," said Izzy. Then he turned his attention back to the wall and all of the Digi Code that was a head of him.

The first side that he picked was the side that didn't included the pictures. He could see that a good number of the script that was written down was smashed into a million tiny pieces, so tiny that Izzy dare put together because he knew that it was an unless cause for him to do so. It would be a waste of time and that was time that they didn't have right now.

"Okay, I am going to start on this side of the wall to know where this place came from. To have a better understanding of what really didn't happen to the Digimon and this world," said Izzy.

"Is that a little dangerous, wasn't that the information and the knowledge that did doom this world the first place?" Asked Joe. "Shouldn't get the information that we want and then get out of here as fast as we can. Who knows what other things are down in this place? From what I heard from T.K. and Kari that thing could just be the tip of a very large and dangerous iceberg that is just waiting to hit us with everything that it has, just because we were in the wrong place at the wrong time."

Izzy just keyed all of the symbols that he saw on the wall into his computer and let the computer do the translation for him. While he was doing that Joe and his Digmon were keeping an eye out on the area and Izzy Digimon was keeping on eye on Izzy while he was working with this. Tentomon didn't when Izzy did things like this and plus he didn't like being down here as well, even if he did know it was a place where the forget knowledge of the place was stored. He knew there were some things that human and Digimon shouldn't know about. From what he heard about this place that knowledge was something that none of them should know about no matter what.

While Izzy was translating the forget knowledge of this place he was gaining information about this place and a more in depth of why the things that did happen to this place did happen. He also didn't notice how much time had pass when they got done there, he only noticed it when he had to stop to take a break and then when he noticed that everybody that was around them were asleep. With that he noticed the time that on the computer and then he noticed that almost thirteen hours had passed.

"Oh man, I did it again," said Izzy.

Izzy tried to wake up everybody from the sleep and doing that he noticed that he couldn't wake them up from that sleep. With that he made the choice that he should get some sleep and while he was doing that everybody else was sleeping as well. This included Beck, Marry, and the rest of other Digidestined and Roger, they also woke up at the same time when Beck did.

Each one of them had their own reason why they woke up and it was because of the nightmares that they had about this world expect for Roger that seem to have a funny feeling that something wasn't right in this world. It seem that ever since that Trial By Fire that he was forced to through seem to have given him a closer connection with his Megadeus and also made him seem to be sensitive to this world when it was out of balance when something was right in this world. He couldn't understand that, but right now he could feel it. Now he knew how Kari felt when she felt this type of feeling when something was out of whack and it was an uneasy feeling that a person could have. He wanted to get rid of this feeling that was inside of him right now and he knew that the first step in this plan was to find out what was the cause and that what he did.

He ran to top of his house, a place where he went to reflect on the day that gone by, most of the time it was one of the few peaceful spots that a person could fine in this city. Right now it was it wasn't that, for he had seen what was causing this world be out of whack, it was that huge wraith-like thing was once again walking among the streets of this city.

"What dose it take to get rid of that thing?" Roger asked.

"I don't know, but I tell you one thing I don't like the way that thing look like," said a voice.

Roger turned around and saw that it was Marry that was on there with him.

"Marry, who shouldn't be here," said Roger.

"Yes, I should be here, you are going to need somebody to take to where that thing is and I can do that," said Marry.

"Is Nivernmon ready?" Asked Roger.

"I born ready," said Nivernmon.

"Okay, Nivernmon let's do it," said Marry.

Nivernmon nodded her head at that. "Nivernmon Wrap Digivole to…"

"…Metal Nivernmon!" Yelled Metal Nivernmon and out of the light came the Mega Level Digimon that was known as Metal Nivernmon. The huge sliver dragon was ready for action.

"All right, I take to where that thing is, Marry e-mail as many of the Digidestined that you can and tell them to get over here, Roger…" started Metal Nivernmon.

"I know, what I have to do," said Roger that showed his watch to the two of them. With that they knew what he was talking about.

"Okay, let's go!" Ordered Marry.

With that Metal Nivernmon rose from the building and headed off in the direction of where that thing was located and while they were doing that they were being watched. This time it wasn't by people that were under Alex's orders, but it was Dorothy that watching the two of them head off into battle. Seeing that Dorothy jumped off from the little perch that she was standing on and she was planing to help the two of them in the same way that she tried before the fight between the trio of Megadeues that came out of the water. It was the least that she could do for the two of them because they were trying to save this world and they needed all of the help that they could get from anybody. Right now they were getting that through the help of the other Digidestined's Digimon that were called by Marry.

Marry only called the ones that she could think of at the time and she hopped that the ones that she had called were the ones that could help the two of them. She wanted to called the Digimon that could go Mega because the way that thing look like it look like that only a couple Mega Level Digimon could take that thing out.

"I got as many as I can to help us, it not everybody, it only the ones that I feel could help us," said Marry.

The wraith-like thing turned into their direction and with that the two them knew that they would have to fight that thing.

"Okay, do your thing while I distract that thing," said Marry.

After that Marry landed Metal Nivernmon on the rooftops of one of the tall buildings of this city and with that Roger disembark the back of the Mega Level Digimon. As soon as he did that Marry took the skies and headed right after that thing, seeing that Roger knew what he had to do. He did that.

After dropping off Roger, Marry never look back, she kept her eyes on the straight and narrow, on the goal. The goal was to distract whatever that thing was and she had no clue what that thing was or who was controlling that thing. The only thing that she knew about that thing was that it was big, black, and what look like to be cover in thick armor.

"Okay, it time to dance," said Marry. "All right, Nivernmon let's go!"

Metal Nivernmon listened to the commands that came from her human friends and with that she went into the direction of that thing.

"Mega Ram!" She yelled and seconds after that the head armor glowed red. With that Metal Nivernmon raced toward that thing at full speed and with that she had landed a blow square in the chest of that thing. The attack did crack some of the black armor that thing, but that wasn't the only thing that it did to it. Unseen by the two of them, Beck whom was the pilot of that thing was angered at what he saw.

Beck had never seen anything like that before, a huge sliver color flying creature whom size was big as the black Megadeus that he swear to take out and how with this thing he had he knew that he would be able to do so. Right now that sliver creature was stopping him from doing that.

"My first test, let's see how good this stuff is," said Beck and that he presses one of the buttons that were on his display.

The thing reacted to his command by bringing out one of the metal spikes that were located at the front of its arm and it did it by the strangest ways that one could think of. The metal spike didn't come out by fully formed, but formed like it was a liquid metal and seeing it act like that socked both Metal Nivernmon and Marry, this was because they had never seen anything like that before. It as that socked value that was produced when the thing had formed that had caused an opening for Beck to step through and he did that. He did by bring the metal spike down on the sliver body of the Mega Level Digimon.

Metal Nivernmon fell down on the ground and doing that she had scratched the surface of some of the buildings of the city and because pieces of the buildings fell down in the same direction that Metal Nivernmon went. That wasn't the end of the damage that was infected on the two of them, this was because Marry was also injured as well. She got injured when Metal Nivernmon fell down to the ground and because of that Marry hit the side of the face.

Marry got up and with that she saw the dark crimson color, that she knew was blood that was on the sliver body of Metal Nivernmon. With that she knew that it was her own blood and after that she felt around her face to see where the cut was located. She found out that it was on the button of her lip, with that she guess that she must of bit down on her lip when she had hit the hard back of Metal Nivernmon. After Marry wiped the blood from her lip with her shirt and because of that her light brown shirt was stained with the dark red color of blood.

"Marry are you okay?" Asked Metal Nivernmon.

"I am fine," answered Marry. After that she looked into the direction of the black armor thing. "Okay, that one was free, but the next time you will pay for that."

Metal Nivernmon knew what had happen to her, she got cut when she fell down and that wasn't the first time that something like that happen before to her. She was injured like this before when they were in the Digital World and it was something that she didn't like to see. Even with that she knew that wouldn't stop her from attacking that thing and with that the two of them went after that thing. Metal Nivernmon got from the ground showing sings of battle damage and most of the battle damage was located at the stomach region of the Mega-Level Digimon. She didn't let that stop her.

The wraith-like thing reacted to her attack, by brings out another one of the liquid metal spike out of the front of his arm and was ready to hit the Digimon again.

Both Marry and Metal Nivernmon saw that. Metal Nivernmon got herself ready to attack that thing with her version of a spike, which was her tail.

"Tail Whip!" She yelled out her attack and seconds after the metal triangle spike that was located at the end of her tail sharpen itself up. With that Metal Nivernmon moved her body in way that she could used her tail like a sword and with that the two Megas attack each other via their sword-like weapons. The sound of metal hitting each other was heard through out the streets of this city and it was that noise that caused the regular citizens of this city to take noticed at what was going on. They saw that two huge armor things fight each other and they couldn't tell who was good and who was bad, they only thing that they knew was that these things were gods and they were fighting each other. They knew that only sure things that would come out of this fight was damage to the buildings of this city. Some of the people had enough sense to get out of the line of fire, but there were still some people that stay even if their life was in danger.

The news of two giant size things fighting each other in the streets of this city reach the hears of Major Dan Dustan whom knew that there was only one job that he had to do right now. That was to make sure the people that were still around the area when these two Megas were fighting each other to be safe. That meant that he will have to evacuated them out of that area before these two titans would crush them to depth under their own weight and he also had to make sure that it didn't happen to his own people as well.

"All right, like before when we dealt with the Black and Red Megadeues, we do this by the book. I don't want anybody to get killed, do you understand?" Asked Dastun.

"Yes Sir!" Said everybody at the same time.

Dastun took a look at the two things that were fighting each other and he could see that the sliver one was going on it way not to hit any of the buildings either through it own efforts or when it hit the black thing. One the other hand he could see that the black thing wasn't doing the same thing, it had caused damage to some of the buildings through the used of the huge spikes that were on either of its arms.

Where is the black Megadeus at? Wondered Dastun. He knew from experience that it was something like this would forced Roger to used it but it look like that the two of them were taking a break from the action and allowing these two to fight each other.

Dastun wasn't the only other one that was wondering where Roger and Big O were located; Marry also wondered where it was. While she didn't know Roger all that well or long enough to judge him, but what she did see from him was that he was the type of person that would never back out of promise.

"Roger, where the hell are you?" Asked Marry to herself and the two of them struggled to fend off that thing. "Metal Nivernmon can't take must more of this."

Metal Nivernmon rose one of her metal wings to block another metal spike attack from that thing. It look like that Metal Nivernmon struggled to block that attack and with the two of them knew that another attack like that would cause her to go down once again.

Marry was getting sick and tried of waiting for Roger to show up. "Oh screw it! Metal Nivernmon attack!" Cried Marry.

Metal Nivernmon knew what to do and with that she flew away from the thing. With that it was time to switch gears on how she would attack that thing, it time to used her long-range attacks.

"Metal Dragon Smash!" She yelled and after that she brought up her wings. Then a half dozen missiles shot out of the metal wings and hit the thing. With that thing was cover by the smoke of the impact of the half dozen missiles and after that Metal Nivernmon flew up to a higher position in the gray skies of this world.

The two of them did this for two reasons. One it put her in a better position to use her other attacks that were meant for long distance attacks and two it took out of the range of that thing's attacks. It was up there where she saw that her missile attack didn't do a signal thing to it and Marry thought that the only thing that it did to it was to make it madder at her for doing that.

"I think I just made that thing madder at us," said Marry.

Marry was right about that, Beck was mad at the two of them for doing that to them and because of that he wanted to get them back for doing that to him. There was something that was stopping him, it was the distance that the two of them were located at which meant that he couldn't used most of the weapons that were on this type of Megadeus. The only weapon that he could see was the missile like attack that he had on board this Megadeus.

"Try this on for size," said Beck and after that he press one of the buttons that were on his display.

Outside the black wraith-like thing brought up one of its arm and moved it into direction of where Marry was located. After that it fired a sliver spear shape object in the direction of the two of them and Metal Nivernmon reacted without Marry ordering her to do so. Metal Nivernmon moved out of the way of the object to avoid it and she did. The spear object landed square into a building and with that Marry turned around to see where the spear had landed. She saw that it had landed into the side of one of the buildings in this city and in a matter of seconds, what ever that building was made out started to fall apart like it was melting away.

Marry gashed at what she was seeing and she knew that meant that spear like object was cover with either a very powerful acid or base liquid. That was secondly for she was considered about the people that lived and worked in a place like that. She hopped that there was nobody there at that time and if there was she was sicken at the thought of the people being killed without warring just like that.

"We better watch it," said Marry.

Metal Nivernmon nodded her head to agree with Marry and with that the two of them moved into another location to tried attacking that thing once again. Even with that Marry still worry about that spear missile that was shot in her direction. The result of that attack told her that it could even prevent the Chro Didizod Armor that covered the entire body of Metal Nivernmon, which was the hardest element in the entire Digi World.

I have no clue how I am take that thing out. I can't fight that thing in close combat because of all of the buildings in this city and I can't fight long combat because of that spear missile thought Marry.

Marry train of thought was stopped when the thing started to fire the spear missiles at her and it took the combine efforts of the two of them avoid getting hit by them directly. It wasn't her goal to do it in style, but that what she was doing, she was twisting and turning with fluid movements. Doing that save their lives, but it did little to the buildings of the city for the missiles were blasting them and melting as well. Marry didn't like seeing this, but she had no idea how to take that thing out.

One of the highly corrosive liquid covered missiles grazed the one of the tips of Metal Nivernmon's wings and because of that Metal Nivernmon cried out in pain as a result of this small exposure to this stuff.

"Dam it!" Yelled Marry. "This thing in out of control! Where the hell is my God-dam backup!"

Still en route, Dastun and his officers watch the mid air fight, he could see that sliver cover creature was holding its own but it look like that it couldn't kept it up. While he wasn't expert on these things he knew from his experiences when somebody or something needed help and right now this thing needed help.

Right on the mark the things backup came and it came in the form of two other huge creatures. One of them was a blue striped white wolf-like creature with a crest of fur that look like feathers that came up on the side of them and with that Dastun turned his attention to the creature. Doing that Dastun noticed that there was a teenager riding on the back of the thing. He could see that the child had yellow hair and big blue eyes, he also could see that he was wearing some type of green uniform. Dastun had no clue that this was Garurumon, a Champion Level Digimon and the person that was riding on the back of the Digimon was Matt whom himself was a Digidestined.

Dastun could see that this creature was keeping up with them and he was amazed that something like that could even manage to do something like that. In this city he had learned that anything was possible and to expect the unexpected. Right now the unexpected was going on around him. Then the thing took a look at them and Dastun gasped at what he saw for he had no clue what the thing was going to do them.

"Hello," said Matt. "Don't worry, this is Garurumon, my Digimon."

"That's a Digimon, like Paildramon and Imperialdramon?" Asked Dastun.

How dose this guy know about Davis's and Ken's Digimon at their Ultimate and Mega Forms? Wondered Matt. "Yes," answered Matt.

"Matt it no time to talk, we have to help Marry and Metal Nivernmon," said Garurumon.

"Okay, nice talking to you all," said Matt and with that Garurumon and Matt ran into the direction of where the two things were fighting each other.

With that Dastun thought that the worst was over with, but he was wrong. This was because the side of one of the buildings was tour off. Seeing that Dastun knew it could only be one thing, it had to be the Megadeus doing that, that was it trademark. Dastun was wrong again, this thing it was another creature just like Garurumon, but this was different, this was a huge orange color dinosaur with a brown head that on each side had two horns. Like before this was also had a teenager age kid riding on the back of the creature. Unlike Garurumon who was fast and used his speed to get to his location, this one used his huge size to muscle his way around.

This creature also made deafen sounds as the creature was walking on the streets of this city and he also noticed that even so big this one had pretty good speed for something as big as he was. The only thing that he could do was to watch the two of them head off in that direction of where the sliver dragon creature and the black wraith-like thing were fighting each other.

Tai saw that he wasn't alone he was with Matt and this was good because he knew that if the chips were done for them his Mega Level Digimon can fused with Matt's Mega Level Digimon and created Onimon.

"Hey, Matt how are you doing?" Asked Tai.

"I am fine, but we have a job to do," answered Matt.

Tai look up to see how Marry was faring against that thing and they saw that she was holding her own against it. He knew that it would only be a matter of time before her Digimon wouldn't be able to keep up the fight against that thing and he figure out that was the reason why she called them to help her.

"I know, do you see what I see," said Tai.

"Yes," answered Matt.

"Greymon are you ready?" Asked Tai.

"I am ready, Tai," said Greymon.

"What about your Garurumon?" Asked Matt.

"Yes," said Garurumon.

Hearing that both Matt and Tai jumped off the back of both Garurumon and Greymon. After that the two of them devolved back to their Rookie Forms of Agumon and Gabumon.

"Okays guys suit up," said Tai.

"Agumon Wrap Digivolve to…" started Agumon.

"Gabumon Wrap Digivolve to…" started Gabumon.

"WarGreymon," ended WarGreymon.

"Metal Garurumon," ended Metal Garurumon.

Seconds after the Mega Level Digimon appeared out a light and each one of them were different from their pervious forms and from each other. Metal Garurumon was chrome cover wolf with two yellow wing-like objects that were located on the back of the Digimon. WarGreymon was a dragon-like man that his arms covered by the same color chrome that covers Metal Garurumon's body. While Metal Garurumon entire body was covered by the metal, only this metal covered the arms of WarGreymon. Most of his body was exposes to the air that showed that his body was the same orange color that Greymon had but with out the blue strips that covers his body. WarGreymon's head was complete covered by a metal as well.

With that Tai and Matt jumped on the back of their Mega-Level Digimon and headed into the direction of where Marry was fighting that thing. While they weren't as big as Metal Nivernmon was, it didn't matter because size wasn't a factor when determining the power that a Digimon had. So they had the same amount of power that Metal Nivernmon had. After Tai and Matt were on the back of their Digimon both of them took off. WarGreymon took the sky and Metal Garurumon that could fly, but prefer to run across the ground took that way.

In a matter of seconds both Tai and Matt went to the battle zone and they could see that Metal Nivernmon fired her twin set of laser beams at the thing and the thing used its huge spiked arms to block the attack. Both Tai and Matt knew that Metal Nivernmon had two more powerful attacks that she could used to take that thing out, but they could see the reason why she opted not to used them. This was because of the area that they were fighting in.

"Marry," said Tai.

Hearing that Marry turned in the direction where Tai was. She could see that he was on the back of his Digimon WarGreymon and with that she wondered where Matt was.

"Tai, it good to see you, but where is Matt?" Asked Marry.

"I am right here, Marry," said Matt.

With that Marry turned around and could see that Matt and his Digimon Metal Garurumon were on the ground ready for action. Seeing that Marry didn't care if Roger and Big O didn't show up because she had her backup right now.

"Okay, people let go," said Marry.

With that Metal Garurumon leap up to the sky and with that he was in the air, ready to fight that thing. The wraith-like thing Megadeus reacted to the present of three Mega Level Digimon by brought down its spiked arms. Doing that it reveal the human looking face of the thing that was as stoic as Big O's face with the same features that Megadeus had, the glowing white eyes and the lines that look like tear drops, with a few exceptions. One of them was the hood ornament that was located on top of the head, while Big O's was a huge red color spike that help it tear trough the ground when it was called. This one had three of them and they were also black as well. Like before Marry wasn't afraid of that thing and Marry could see that her lack of fear of that thing seem to rub off of her and onto Matt and Tai.

Matt elected himself to take the first shot at the thing.

"Metal Wolf Claw," shouted Metal Garurumon. After that Metal Garurumon's eye glowed blue and at the same time a series of hatches that were located on the front legs of the Digimon open up to reveled the missile launchers that look like they were apart of the Digimon to himself. After that a huge series of missiles were shot off of the legs in the direction of where the black Megadeus was at and on impact the missiles encased the Megadeus in a block of ice.

Beck could was freezing at the attack and struggle with the controls of the Megadeus to break through the block of ice that the metal cover wolf like creature. At first he thought that he couldn't do it, but he didn't allow that to stop him he continue to struggle with the ice and evenly he managed to break through the ice. Outside everybody could see that the block of ice that Metal Garurumon had put that thing in was starting to crack and in a matter of seconds all of the ice that was on the thing fall off of the Digimon. The ice fell down on the streets of the city.

Seconds after that Beck made the Megadeus fired another one of its spears at Metal Garurumon and seeing that Marry knew that if Matt didn't get out of the way, Metal Garurumon's armor would get eaten away by the acid that the spear was coated in.

"Matt get out of the way of that thing, it coated in acid, if either you or Metal Garurumon get hit by that thing it will burn you," cried Marry.

Hearing that Metal Garurumon moved out of the way of the spear and let it hit one of the buildings. Doing that Matt look behind him and could see what Marry was talking about. On impact the spear had caused the part of the building to melt away from the attack. Matt had only seen this happen once before and that was when Venom Myotismon used his Venom Infusion attack that deleted some of the buildings were they lived. While his attack deleted the entire building, this attack left some of the building intact, but most of it was gone and a clear sign of it was a huge hole left in the building with some of the acid dripping from the uneven edges of the partially destroyed building.

"Oh man, this is going to be a lot harder than we thought," said Matt.

"My God, I hope there wasn't anybody there at that time," said a socked Marry. She couldn't believe what she was seeing, it was something out of movie, it was so surreal for her. She felt like she was discounted the rest of the world.

"Let me at him," said WarGreymon.

"Terra Force!" Yelled WarGreymon and seconds after that he build up the energy in his hand and then it grew into a huge orange colored ball that required WarGreymon to used both of his hands to hold the ball. Then he through the ball of energy toward the wraith-like thing and the wraith thing under the command of Beck reacted to the new style of attack by blocking it by crossing both of his arms across the face of the Megadeus. Doing that the Megadeus held its own against the attack and evenly the thing used its arms to cut the energy attack into two.

"What?" Asked a socked Tai.

"I told you," said Marry.

Seconds after that Beck brought out the spear like object that was located in the top part of the arm of the thing and before either of the two of them could react to the thing, Beck brought the spear down at the two of them. WarGreymon tried to block the attack but it came to fast for the two of them to do anything and because of that the spear hit WarGreymon. The spear hit the body of the Mega-Level Digimon and because of that WarGreymon yelled out in pain, but that wasn't the end of the brutal attack for Beck continues with the attack, by driving him closer to the ground. Beck was enjoying what he was doing, he was happy that he was given this power and he was eating it up like candy.

Rosewater and Daemon were watching the fight on a close circuit TV in a dark room where the only light came from the glow of the TV set. They saw the fight take place.

"You were right he well suited for that job," said Daemon.

"When it comes with this world I am always right," said Rosewater.

Seeing that Marry and Metal Nivernmon went to aid Tai and WarGreymon, but before the two of them could do a thing, Beck used his free arm and brought out a second liquid metal sword. With that he swiped at the body of Metal Nivernmon and a result of that the metal that cover the top area of her body melted away from the acid. With that Metal Nivernmon cried in pain from the acid attack that she received from that thing.

"Metal Nivernmon!" Cried Marry at what she was seeing.

The only thing that Metal Nivernmon could mange to do was continue to cry in pain as the metal that was around the scrape from that thing continue to expand eating the metal like it was a snack. Marry didn't see this, the only thing that she saw was the straps that Marry used to pilot the Digimon reacted themselves away from Marry's arms until they were in the sides of the Digimon.

Inside of the cockpit of the Megadeus Beck laughed at the suffering that he was causing at his own hands. At what he was seeing right now, he knew without a question that he had the power to take down the Megadeus that he had trouble with. These things were just small fries in his option and that he shouldn't waste his time on these things, but it still didn't matter to him. It was something that he could do kill the time when his quarry would come out to play with him.

"What the hell are you doing?!" Asked a socked Marry.

"Saving your life," Metal Nivernmon struggled out.

Seconds after that Marry save the metal that was around the head of the Mega-Level Digimon start to metal away.

"I don't want you to get hurt, jump," said Metal Nivernmon.

Marry look around to see nowhere she could do. "Where I to jump? There is nowhere I go."

"Just JUMP!" Yelled Metal Nivernmon.

"All right," said Marry and with that she got off the back of the Digimon.

I can't even believe I am doing this thought Marry. After that Marry could see the street come closer to her and with that she closed her eyes to accepted her faith. She was going to die unless a miracle would happen and reviewing what she just saw the miracle would have to be done by an act by a god. Knowing the odds of something like that happen to her were slim to none, she knew that she was going to die and the only thing that she could do right now was make peace with God in hopes that she would make it to heaven. While doing that she flashback to all of the moments that happen in her short life span and unseen by her the miracle that she thought would never happen, happen for her.

Marry forced herself to wake up when she hit something and when that happens she thought she was dead. A couple of seconds she realized that she wasn't dead, she was very much alive and she wanted to know who or what was her savior. She look around in her environment and she noticed that she was in a huge armor black hand and with that she knew who had save her, it was Roger using Big O to save her. She turned in the direction of where she thought the black Megadeus would be and doing that she found out that she was right, she saw the familiar stoic face of the Deus that she knew.

First she was happy that he did that for her and then her joy turned to anger toward him for not showing up faster.

"Where the hell where you?!" Asked Marry.

Roger had his arm cross his chest as the levers that controlled Megadeus went into position for him.

"Excess me, I got delayed, jeez nobody appreciated what I do," said Roger. After that Roger made Big O put Marry down on the ground and then she saw the Megadeus running into the direction of where the wraith-like thing was. While that was going on, Marry saw what her Digimon was going on through and she was in horror at what she seeing. It look like the acid was eating her up alive and the inhuman cries that she was crying seem to reach into her soul and rip it apart. Marry no clue what to do to help her, she was frozen in time and she watch in horror as this thing was killing her Digimon friend and partner, there wasn't a signal thing that she could do to stop it. It was feeling of totally helpless and that was something that she couldn't stand for.

Then the problem with Metal Nivernmon got from bad to worst. She saw the strip body of the Mega Digimon start to twisted into a misshapen mass of blackness that was totally out the mark that she saw no familiar features of the Digimon that she knew as Metal Nivernmon.

"Nivernmon…" started Marry, then she realized that it wasn't Metal Nivernmon as she once knew. That Digimon was gone replaced by this monster that she could only described as a Demon.

"So you have show up, it time to meet your match," said Beck. For the first his entire life when he look onto the face of that thing, he was stuck down in fear of what they thing could do to him. For he knew that he had something that was equal match to the power that thing had and he knew that it was dangerous to think that he was stronger than thing was. He had funny feelings that he was right, no he didn't think he knew he was stronger than that thing was and he was going to prove to this city that he was right.

"You time is up, it my time," said Beck.

Roger could see what the wraith-like thing was doing, he could see that it was driving WarGreymon and Tai closer to the ground with a metal spear. He also could see that WarGreymon was putting up a good fight, but it would only be a matter of strength and who could maintain it longer. So Roger jumped into action by making Big O fired it eye beams at the spear and the spear was blown off from the arm of the thing.

"You broke it!" Cried Beck. "You will paid for that!"

The spear that Roger fired on embedded itself in the street that Dastun and his man were located at. Dastun reacted in horror at what he saw happen to the street, the liquid that was located on the spear destroyed the section of the street and it didn't stop when it reach the armor tank it continued it away at the tank.

"Get out of there!" Yelled Dastun as he ran to where the tank was. He could see the speed that thing was acting, he didn't know if he had the time to get the two officers out of that tank that was now becoming a depth trap for them. He couldn't allow that to stop him, for these people were under his command and a good leader would never leave anybody that was under his command to just die without an effort from the CO.

He got to the tank and ripped off one of the panels on the tank. After that he help the first officer out of the tank and when that person got out of there he also help Dastun get the last reminding officer out of there. With that the trio of them ran away from that thing as fast as they could and they did just in time because the acid reach the spot where the three of them were located. They could see how the acid ate away the armor that the tank had and could see the power that it had.

"That dam Megadeus is trying to kill us!" Screamed one of the officers.

Dastun looked up to see the black one running toward the Wraith-like thing, knowing that Roger was in there piloting that thing.

"I don't think so, if that thing wanted to kill us, it would have done so already," said Dastun.

Before the Wraith-like thing could react to what Big O did, Big O punch Wraith-like thing in the face with one of it armor fist and doing that cause the other Megadeus to slightly fall back at the forced of being punch so hard in the face. When that happens WarGreymon and Tai knew that this was the best time to get out of here, which they did. While that was going on Roger knew that it was safe for him to continue to attack that thing with everything that Big O could muster up. He didn't care if that thing was a Digimon like the others that he knew, to him that thing was no Digimon, it was something that was twisted into this thing that look like that it was pure evil no matter what. It was because of that he knew something like that had to be destroyed.

"So we meet again, but for the last time!" Vowed Roger. Seconds after that he made Big O fire it twin set of pink beams of energy at that thing and of course the thing block the attack that Big O fire at it. It did it by using it two crossing it two big arms across the face in the same fashion he would do while in battle.

"Impressive, whoever you are, you know how to handle yourself, but you still won't win," said Roger. Even with that he continue to fire the eye beams at the thing, even if he knew that it wasn't doing in damage to the thing it was slowing the thing down and it was buying him time. Allowing him to think what his next move would be against that thing.

Then in a matter of seconds his time was up for the Wraith-like thing brought out both of its metal blades out of its arms. Roger could believe the way that he did, they look like they were formed by some type of liquid metal that was shot out of the arms of the Megadeus. To make matters worst for him the thing used the metal blades to stop the energy beams and not in a normal way that an enemy would stop it by reflected the energy beam with the weapon or cutting the energy into two. It did by turning the energy beam into something solid that fell down to the ground and seeing that Roger stops Big O from firing its energy beams at the thing.

"What the hell?" Asked him at what he just saw and seconds after that the thing ran after Big O with both of its blades out ready to be used in battle.

Marry saw that and turned her head in the direction of where the Wraith-like thing and Big O were fighting each other. She could see that it was going to used its blades on Big O and knowing what she knew about what their things were coated in, acid, Marry didn't want to have happen to Metal Nivernmon happen to Roger and his Digimon. So Marry ran to where the two Deuses were fighting each other, she didn't care about her safely right now. In doing that she didn't see what was going on with Metal Nivernmon and because of that she didn't see that black creature that was once Metal Nivernmon was being defeated itself. The first sing of distress that it was under was a small crack that was forming in the stomach region of the thing and then seconds after that a sliver armor head formed out of the crack. Then out of the crack came the entire body of Metal Nivernmon and the black husk of a body that covered the sliver armor of metal Nivernmon fell down to the cover. When it did it melted away into a black liquid like thing.

"What out! Those things are cover in acid, an acid that can also eat through anything that it touches. Don't let the spears touch you!" Yelled Marry at Roger. She hope that he could hear her pleads.

Roger did hear the cries of Marry and with that his eyes turned from the entire body of the Megadeus to where the spears were located. Then he saw a drop of liquid at the tip of the spear-like thing dropped down to the ground and when it did it burned a hole in the street. With that Roger made Big O run into the direction and seconds after that he connected with it. He used both of Big O's hands to stop the either arms of Wraith-like thing to stop it from touching Big O.

"What evil spawn you?!" Demanded Roger. "Who is controlling you?!"

Seconds after that he got the answers he wanted. He saw in a vision like state in where he saw Alex Rosewater working on some type of keyboard designing something and on the screen he could see what he was working on, it was the thing that he was fighting with it. Then he saw who was piloting the thing, he couldn't believe it, and it was Beck Gold who was the person that was at the helm of the thing. That enrage Roger at that he saw, his own father had created that monster and Beck Gold was piloting that thing.

"What are you going to do now?" Asked Beck. He paused to wait for the answer from that Megadeus and he got nothing from it. "No answer, but I will tell you what I am going to do." He presses a button on his display.

Marry watched in horror as the spear on the right hand turned into the missile attack that she had seen before. With that the world seem to slow down for her and she saw it turned into the direction in the neck region of Big O, where she knew where Roger was at. She knew that it was its target.

"Roger! Look out!" Yelled Marry.

Roger heard the cries of Marry and he turned his attention to the arm of the thing. He saw what was about to happen to him and he tried to break free, but it was to late the missile was fired at Big O.

Marry saw it and cried out at what she saw. She saw the missile grazed the armor that was located in the neck region of the Megadeus and what happen to Metal Nivernmon happen to Big O. The acid that was on the spear ate away at the armor.

Seconds after that she heard something that sounded like it came from Big O, an inhuman lament that was worst than cries of pain that she heard from Metal Nivernmon when she was touched by that acid. Then she saw Big O fall to the ground holding it right arm like it was in pain.

Words couldn't describe what she just saw or heard, but one thing was sure, Big O was different.

"What are you Big O?" Asked Marry.

Others who were involved in the fight as well reflected the same feeling of sock and being confused also. Dastun couldn't believe what he saw and heard. He saw the Megadeus that was piloted by Roger for very first time fall down to the ground, almost like it was defeated by another and the sound that it made when it fall down the ground sounded like it was a mixture of a human and animal cry of pain. A sound that Dastun knew that he would never soon forget.

In the underground room Izzy finally crack what he was reading and he couldn't believe what just read.

"My God," said Izzy.
