Coral: Hey, chicos! Welcome back to another edition of the Fusion series! We're getting through a pretty gruesome start. This is just the beginning. This battle will last a pretty long time. Speaking of long battles, Max and Burizalor have been at it for a long time.

[Shots of blasts are being fired from multiple directions. Burizalor flies after Max. He shoots out numerous energy shots, which Max was easily able to dodge.]

Burizalor: Damn! Hold still, maggot!

Max: At least you've managed to make me sweat. But you're no better than the Warlord.

Burizalor: Fool! I'm better than he is! When I get done with you, I'm going after that worm.

Max: Suit yourself. I think we should just finish this.

Coral: While those two are at it, I want to remind you that our big party will get underway in about a few chapters away. It's really three chapters away. This is your last chance to seek an invitation. Until then, enjoy the fic.

[Digimon Adventure theme "Butterfly plays as the opening sequence plays]

Stop Burizalor's Madness! The Children of Hope and Light Unite!

The Digi-Destined watched in horror as Burizalor held Joe like a harpooned fish. Joe was struggling with Burizalor's blades penetrating through his chest. He was barely alive and his face was turning pale as a cloud.

Mimi looked on in horror as her friend was being tortured at the hands of Burizalor. She has known Joe for only quite sometime. She always thought he was just a whiny dork, but she later realized that Joe is a good person who was always looking after the welfare of the others and was to be responsible.

"Joe! I'm coming," Zudomon shouted out as he flew up at Burizalor.

"Lillymon! Attack that monster! He wants to kill Joe, I don't care how strong he is, he doesn't know the true power of friendship," Mimi screamed in anger.

Lillymon nodded and flew up with Zudomon. Burizalor looked down and saw the two digimon coming to attack him. Burizalor phased out. Lillymon turned to fire her Flower Cannon at Burizalor. Burizalor deflected it. Zudomon threw in several fists at Burizalor but Burizalor was able to maneuver out of the way. Burizalor flew down and threw in a mighty fist to the face of Zudomon. Lillymon goes for a flying kick but Burizalor whips her away with his long tail.

"Joe! We're not going to give up!" Zudomon said.

"Lillymon! We have to try to help Joe! There maybe hope to still save him," Mimi screamed.

"Ha! Your attempts are useless! The more power you throw at me, the more Joe shall suffer more torment. The choice is yours. As far as your concerned, Joe, your life is now about to come to an end. What's that? Not enough pain? Here let me make it up to you."

Burizalor laughed as he pierced his blades deeper into Joe's wounds. Joe screamed in horrible agony as blood was spewing out. Burizalor was seemingly enjoying this.

Sora and Matt could only look on with horror as one of their own was being tortured at the hands of a monster with no conscience. Blood was splattering everywhere from Joe's wounds.

"We got to do something. But if we go in there and attack him, Burizalor will just make matters worse and kill Joe right there in an instant,"Sora said to herself,"But we have to act quickly! Before we lose him."

Matt turned towards Sora.

"Some leader Sora is turning out to be! It's her fault that Joe ended up like this. She tries so hard, yet he screws it all up. Hang in there, Joe. Don't go dying on us. We'll stop that monster at any cost."

Metal Garurumon and Garudamon flew up to attack next. Burizalor smiled and maneuvered out of the way. Burizalor shot down two ray beams at the two digimon. Metal Garurumon shot out his Ice Blast to cancel out the rays. Garudamon attempts to knock Burizalor out of commission with her Wing Blade. But the evil monster was able to maneuver out of the way and shoot out a beam that cancelled out the Wing Blade attack. Burizalor flew at Garudamon and slashed at her with his blades. Garudamon goes flying back. Metal Garurumon and Burizalor collided. Burizalor elbowed him in the face and slashed him with his blades.

"Ha! Your attempts are pointless. Why do you choose to attack me with your friend here is nearing his death. Thats not a right thing to do. Do you want him dead? Well it doesn't matter anyways."

Burizalor laughed and bounced Joe's body over like a rag doll. Joe's visions were starting to go blur. Burizalor twirled around with Joe's body.

"This is the end. I never managed to make out my will. Oh well. How are we supposed to beat this guy? Burizalor is just too powerful… Tai. War Greymon. Where are you? I really hope your healing is finished…"

***************************************************************************************

Back at the base, Tai was still resting in bed and Agumon was still in his healing chamber regaining his strength back. But, Tai rose out of bed and started to come to his senses.

"What? What happened? Hey, where is everybody? Sora? Matt?"

He got out of bed and looked towards the healing chamber where Agumon was contained.

"Agumon?! What happened to you? Huh? I don't remember that much after I feel asleep. Wait, I remember that Piedmon turned us into key chains. War Greymon was weakened from the battle. Then I started to weaken. I get it now. Huh?"

Tai looked at his digivice and there were readings from the other Digi-Destined and another reading from Burizalor.

"Oh no! Burizalor must have found them! His power has risen tremendously. I fear for the worst. It seems like he has digivolved into an even higher form. C'mon Agumon. You better hurry it up on your healing buddy. We don't have much time left."

**************************************************************************************

Back on earth, thousands have been anticipating the arrival of the Digi-Destined. It was thought that they would eventually return and it has been an awfully long while.

The children's parents could only wonder when their loved ones would return safely from their long adventure. Suddenly, their questions would be answered as the sky displayed the battle that was ensuing between the digimon and Burizalor.

Joe's brother watched on in horror. He saw Burizalor with Joe and piercing through his chest with his blades. The other parents gasped to see their children in the line of fire.

This battle would help determine the fate of the two worlds. If Burizalor defeats the children, then he will easily invade Earth and take it as his own. The Digi-Destined won't allow that to happen, for it is up to them to protect their loved ones back on Earth.

****************************************************************************************

The children looked on in horror as Burizalor continued his sick torture over a near dead Joe. Even the digimon couldn't do a damn thing due to the fact if anyone attacks, then Joe will suffer even more sick torture.

"So, are you getting tired up there, Joe? Or shall I inflict more pain to calm your nerves? I'm entertained by the sheer agony. I want to hear you scream."

Joe was slowly losing his consciousness. His vision was going blurry and fading to black.

"I wish there was something we could do, Kari," TK said, "I wish I could stop him, but if we attack, there's no telling when Burizalor is going to kill Joe. He could do it in an instant."

Kari nodded in agreement.

"Even Zudomon is afraid of losing him since he won't attack. Is there anything we can do?"

Joe had just lost consciousness. Burizalor took notice of this and stopped toying with him.

"Ha! That takes care of this one. Off you go!"

Burizalor pulls Joe off his blade and hoists him up. He then tosses Joe's wounded body down to the ground. Zudomon managed to phase out and catch his falling friend.

"Joe. Speak to me..." Zudomon said with anger.

He looked up at Burizalor with a possessed look of anger. TK's anger was arising and Magna Angemon took notice of this.

"Ha! Ha! So now that Joe is out of the picture, who wants to be next? Yamato? Sora? Mimi? Koushiro? Takeru? Hikari? It really doesn't matter to me. You'll die one by one."

Izzy was about to order Altur Kabuterimon to attack but TK pushed him aside. TK looked up at Burizalor with determination.

"No Burizalor! You'll be taking on my digimon next. And you feel the wrath of Magna Angemon. You. You. Murderer!"

Burizalor looked down and laughed until he felt something phase in front of him. Magna Angemon punched Burizalor in the gut and started hammering away at him. TK started throwing punches in the air, as if he were controlling Magna Angemon's movements. The others watched in amazement. Magna Angemon uppercuts Burizalor and flies up. He blasts several ki blasts at the evil monster. Burizalor managed to cancel them out. But Magna Angemon sends a ball of energy and rams it into the face of Burizalor. Burizalor goes falling down to the ground. Magna Angemon started to power up and form a wave of energy in his hands.

"Take this, Burizalor! I will make sure you don't kill anymore people again," TK screamed with a combination of determination and anger. His crest was giving Magna Angemon more power.

Magna Angemon blasted at Burizalor with more ki blasts. Now he was throwing them repeatedly. This was more than Burizalor could withstand. Matt and Kari took notice of this.

"Wow! Look at my brother go! He's obviously had seen enough. He's controlling Magna Angemon through his actions. I guess, its safe to say. We can be connected to our digimon when the situation gets drastic."

"Go TK! You can do it! Its time we put this monster in his place!

The other Digi-Destined watched on as the smallest child was controlling Magna Angemon in taking out the most fearsome monster in the digital universe.

Magna Angemon continued firing blasts down at his adversary. Then he formed a ball of holy energy over his head and risen it up.

Sora thought to herself,"Just look at his power."

"TK must have hidden powers within his crest that we don't even know about,"Izzy said.

"Avenge, Joe! You can do it, TK!" screamed Mimi.

TK screamed out, "Gate of Destiny!"

"Gate of Destiny!" Magna Angemon cried out as he formed a portal with his saber.

But instead of pulling Burizalor in, it shot out a powerful ray of energy and that shot down at the evil monster. Within seconds, there was a huge explosion and a gigantic cloud of smoke.

The Digi-Destined tried to look through the heavy smoke but it was too much to withstand. Magna Angemon was breathing heavily after throwing large amounts of energy. TK even looked exhausted.

"TK! Whoa, that was intense!" Matt said while coughing from the smoke.

"Yeah TK! You got him," Kari said.

TK looked down at the exact place where Burizalor was laying. He watched as the smoke cleared. Burizalor was laid out. A smile formed over TK's face.

"What the but that's impossible! Magna Angemon managed to put down Burizalor, but he's not destroyed!" Matt said.

TK looked down at Zudomon as he de-digivolved back to Gomamon. This was the result of power loss from Joe's crest.

"Joe. You're going to recover buddy. Please don't die on me."

Mimi went over to help Gomamon with Joe.

"Hey guys! Is he ok?" asked TK.

"He should be fine. At least he brought his medical equipment," replied Gomamon.

"Are you sure he'll be ok?"

"TK! We don't have time for that. If you thought you finished Burizalor just look!" Matt said as he pointed down to the fallen rubble.

TK gasped as he saw the monster rising up. Burizalor was getting to his feet and he seemed to be unscathed from the last attack. TK watched on with fear in his eyes.

"Takeru. I must admit. That really surprised me. Your digimon caught me off guard, but you're far from beating me."

"I can't believe this. Magna Angemon gave it everything he had!"

"Well you were wrong TK. Now you just pissed him off."

"I'm sorry Matt."

Burizalor hovered up and phased out. Magna Angemon looked around to anticipate his next attack but Burizalor phased behind him and nails him in the back with an elbow shot. Magna Angemon goes flying back and slashes at him with his saber. Burizalor blocked it with his blades and kicks him in the face.

"Magna Angemon! Look out!"

Burizalor strikes at Magna Angemon with his tail and wraps it around his neck like a noose. Magna Angemon gagged and attempted to break free, but Burizalor elbowed him in the chest. Magna Angemon goes flying down. Burizalor phases out and head butts him in the chest.

TK seemed to be falling on his knees and taking every blow that Magna Angemon was taking. The other Digi-Destined took notice of this.

Burizalor fired a shot at Magna Angemon, sending him crashing into the ground. Burizalor phases out again and blasts him away with a ray of powerful energy. Magna Angemon falls to the ground really hard and causing a crater to form. He quickly reverted back to Patamon.

"Oh no! He's back to Patamon. Its hopeless," TK said as he fell to his knees.

Kari gasped and ran over to him.

"TK. Please be ok."

Matt looked up at Burizalor with sheer anger for hurting his brother's digimon.

"Well. That was not very difficult. I think its time I put an end to that wing-eared bat pig. Ha! Huh?! What the hell?!"

Suddenly a sudden blast nails Burizalor. Metal Garurumon had shot out a missile at his adversary. Now he was preparing to unleash another one of his attacks.

"So you want to pick on creatures smaller than yourself? Not if I have anything to say about it. Take this! Ice Wolf Blast!"

There was smoke around Burizalor and Metal Garurumon seemed to have the upper hand.

Matt watched on with a smirk on his face.

"Never underestimate the power of friendship. Because our teamwork will lead to your downfall."

But soon, his smirk turned into a gasp of fear when the smoke cleared. Burizalor was still hovering and did not have a single scratch on him. Metal Garurumon couldn't believe it.

"Ha. You shouldn't be surprised at all, Yamato. Your futile attempts are pointless. Now if you excuse me, I have a settle to score with the bat pig then I will turn my attention to you."

Burizalor hovered down onto the battlefield and walked over to the fallen Patamon. He kicked him across like a soccer ball.

"So, Patamon. Do you want another crack shot at me?"

Patamon got up and was ready to fight.

"Boom Bubble!"

Burizalor cancels it out with a small beam. Patamon gasped in fear and was kicked to the side by Burizalor. Patamon laid there and was gasping for air. It seemed as though Burizalor knocked the wind out of him.

"Come on now. Don't tell me, I won with just one kick. I was expecting you to put up a better fight."

"Patamon shinka. Uh..."

Patamon fell to the ground and was unable to digivolve after taking a beating from Burizalor.

"Patamon...I'm sorry...." Tk said faintly.

"This isn't good at all!" Kari said, "Matt? Sora? We got to help Patamon! Please!"

Sora and Matt didn't know what to do next. Patamon was down fighting all alone. He's such a tough little guy but he is no match for Burizalor. Metal Garurumon couldn't even faze him, and neither could Garudamon.

Burizalor walked over to Patamon and picked him up. He delivers a thunderous kick to the small defenseless digimon like a soccer ball. Patamon goes flying up. Burizalor phases out and elbows Patamon in the gut. Patamon cries in tremendous agony after getting the tar beaten out of him. Burizalor flew down and caught Patamon.

"Going somewhere, my little friend? We're not done yet."

Burizalor tosses him to the ground. Patamon was crawling to get away but Burizalor followed right after him.

"TK is right. Even if our digimon is no match for Burizalor, we should at least have one of our fresh fighters to go in and save Patamon. That's it, Altur Kabuterimon!"

"Izzy! I'm going in there to save Patamon! Have the others cover for me."

"Be careful!"

Altur Kabuterimon flew in right at Burizalor. Burizalor phases out. Altur Kabuterimon turns to see Burizalor punching him hard in the face. Burizalor throws punches and tail swipes at Altur Kabuterimon, knocking the gigantic beetle down.

"Playing hero are we, Koushiro? Well that's not going to last any longer."

Burizalor slashes at Altur Kabuterimon with his blades and rams a fist into his gut. Altur Kabuterimon goes falling to the ground and holding his chest.

"Altur Kabuterimon!"

"Brother. Kari. I'm sorry. I've failed you..." TK faintly said, "I feel the same kind of pain Patamon is feeling."

Matt and Kari looked down at the battlefield.

Patamon was laying on the ground as Burizalor walked over to him. The cold-hearted monster placed his foot on Patamon as if he were about to crush him.

"Well Patamon. You managed to put up a very good fight, but your efforts were futile. Now say goodbye!"

TK struggled and cried out from the pain. The others did not know what to do next. However, a bright glow was surrounding Kari and she looked towards Burizalor with a look of intense anger. She looked like she was possessed.

****************************************************************************************

Tai looked into his digivice and then to Agumon.

"TK is in trouble! C'mon, Agumon! Hurry it up! I don't know how much more the others can take. Hopefully, they can hold him off for a while longer."

****************************************************************************************

Burizalor stood over a fallen Patamon and placed his foot on top of him. Patamon screamed in agony. Burizalor was about to crush him. The other digimon could only watch on in horror. Altur Kabuterimon was laid out. Gomamon was helping out with Joe. Lillymon and Mimi were helping Gomamon take care of Joe. Angewomon couldn't attack without the risk of having Patamon getting killed. Metal Garurumon was still in shock after getting overwhelmed by Burizalor.

"Patamon. Hang in there, buddy..." TK said faintly as he was losing consciousness.

Kari was holding the blonde boy in her arms and cried.

Burizalor laughed with malice. He kicked Patamon around a little more.

"Had enough yet, Patamon? No. Then I'll continue kicking you around like a soccer."

"Poor kid. He gave it his all, but Burizalor was still able to kick Patamon to the side like a rag doll. But TK shouldn't be upset with himself. We all underestimated Burizalor's power,"Matt thought.

"Pathetic. Hey, Metal Garurumon! Why are you being so heartless? Can't you see that this poor fellow needs help and you're too scared to even take another crack shot at me."

Metal Garurumon stood his ground and watched on. He just couldn't let Patamon suffer like this. But if he even attempted to attack Burizalor, then he would just anger Burizalor enough to kill Patamon.

"There must be a way for me to attack him. And at the sametime, make sure that Patamon doesn't get killed. I have no choice or else Patamon is history!"

"There, there. Patamon. The pain will subside."

Burizalor still had his foot on top of Patamon and ready to crush him at any opportunity. Patamon cried out in anguish and pain. They echoed for the other Digi-Destined to listen to. The madman's laughter over lapsed the cries within a matter of moments.

***************************************************************************************

Tai was walking back and forth as if he were waiting in a waiting room. It has been a long while since Agumon was placed in the healing chamber. Tai looked into the chamber and smiled at the thought of Agumon recovered. Tai took out his digivice and picked up readings, including a weakening power level.

"Somebody is losing their energy out there in the battle. Agumon, by the time you recover, it's going to be the next ice age. Oh no! Its Patamon's power reading! Things have gotten worse! I wish I could help but I need Agumon for this. War Greymon is needed! Ugh! C'mon Agumon...."

***************************************************************************************

Leomon was fighting through obstacles and brushes in order to reach the battlefield. He could of just flown over but he felt that some of Burizalor's special task forces would trace his power readings and track him down. Suddenly, he felt a power decrease from the grounds where the fight was taking place.

"Somebody's power level is beginning to decrease. It has to be one of the digimon that belong to one of the Digi-Destined. What?! It's the digimon belonging to the child of hope! I must hurry!"

Leomon thought to himself.

"Even I saw what happened the last time I encountered the child of hope. Yes, his digimon was the last digivolve. Angemon....

Flashback

"Patamon shinka! Angemon!"

Angemon hovered above and faced his greatest adversary, Devimon. The other Digi-Destined could only watch in awe. Every one of their digimon was unable to beat Devimon, but Angemon was their last hope.

"Wow! Super cool!" exclaimed Sora.

"Nice hair!" commented Mimi.

"Angemon!" TK cried out.

Angemon looked down at Devimon and was ready to attack. Devimon went to snatch Angemon in attempt to destroy him.

"Ha! Ha! Come here, pretty boy!"

"Don't worry, I'll get him."

"There's no stopping me, Angemon!"

"I'll show you! HI-YA-EE!"

Angemon's Hand of Fate had enough power to put away one of the most evil creatures that ever terrorized the Digital World and at the same time, restored File Island to the way it was.

TK looked up at Angemon with tears in eyes. His newly digivolved digimon was disappearing before his very eyes. Angemon looked down and smiled to TK.

"TK. I'll come back if you want me to..."

"No! Angemon!"

End of Flashback

Leomon shook those thoughts from his head and proceeded on through the forest. He stopped and felt no readings from any of Burizalor's Special Task Forces. He let himself hover up and fly towards the scene of the battle. This way he gets there at a faster pace.

"Don't worry. This time, I'm on my way! Burizalor can not be allowed to win!"

With that being said, Leomon boosted his speed up and disappeared into the skies.

************************************************************

Burizalor walked over to the fallen Patamon and kicked him around. Metal Garurumon tried to make a move, but Burizalor turned to see him. He shot out a beam at Metal Garurumon to stop him in his place. Patamon cried out for anybody to help him out.

"TK, don't worry. I have seen enough," Kari said.

Suddenly her body started to glow a heavenly aura.

The other Digi-Destined took notice of this. Kari stood up on her two feet and she seems like she was possessed. She started to float up and look down at Burizalor.

"What is she doing?" asked Sora, "She's floating. Now this is getting weird! Kari! Get down from there!"

"Kari! What the hell do you think you are doing," Matt cried out.

"Now, I'm starting to lose it!" Chuumon exclaimed. "Is it just me or is that girl floating like thin air?!"

Kari put both of her hands up in the air and her voice become that of a woman's voice. It was as though a presence had completely taken over the child.

"Burizalor must not be allowed to win this fight. Angewomon, I shall give you more power. Maybe you will fend off that monster while I go and heal Patamon."

"Kari? Are you sure, you're ok? How could you possibly heal Patamon?"

"Don't question me. We must act now before we lose him."

"Right."

"Does Kari even know what he's getting herself into?" asked Matt.

Sora then replied with a nod, "I don't know, but it looks like Angewomon is about to make her move."

The others watched as Kari hovered down and looked out towards the battlegrounds. Angewomon suppressed her ki.

Burizalor continued his torture of Patamon, by kicking him around like a rag doll. The others have seen enough. Metal Garurumon felt a strong power about to make their move.

**************************************************************************************

Tai was tapping his foot impatiently and pressed his face against the chamber glass window.

"Agumon, are you taking a leak in there? Ok that's it! If you're not coming out, I might as well pull you out. We're not going to just stand around here all day while my friends are getting the crap beaten out of them. So here goes!"

Just as Tai was about to break the glass window, his digivice started to pick up a huge power reading. He gasped at what he saw. What he saw was something he didn't expect.

"What the heck?! It looks like somebody is about to make their next move and this one is probably strong enough to slow that creep down!"

Tai pondered at who it might be and waited for Agumon to finish his rest in the healing chamber.

***************************************************************************************

Burizalor stood tall over Patamon with a cruel smile on his face. He was ready to finish him off.

"Time to die, Patamon! Ha! Ha!"

Suddenly just as Burizalor was about to make his next move, there was a loud cry. Metal Garurumon and Burizalor looked up to see who it was.

"Celestial Arrow!"

Burizalor turned to see an arrow coming straight at him. He flipped up in order to maneuver out of the way. But the arrow managed to pierce through the tip of his tail. Burizalor howled in pain as he saw a section of his tail rip off.

"What?! It's that Angewomon! But how?! I thought I got rid of her just a while ago!"

He looked up to see Angewomon holding out her hands and ready to shot out another arrow. He then turned to see Kari hovering up in the same position Angewomon was.

"So, those no for nothing tricksters! They're like cockroaches! Step on one and another comes crawling out of the way!"

Angewomon phased away and reappeared behind Burizalor. She got ready to shot out more arrows. Burizalor noticed that Angewomon's power has increased and she has no scratches on her body.

"I could have sworn that I pounded her! She doesn't even have a single scratch!"

"Celestial Arrow!"

But instead of shooting one, Angewomon shot out several arrows at Burizalor. They all were swarming as if they were a horde of bees and were ready to strike down Burizalor any moment. But Burizalor shot out a beam of energy and deleted the arrows out into digital fragments.

"Burizalor!"

He turned to see Kari looking and pointing at him. Burizalor was very confused and thought that Kari was just delusional.

"What is it that you're trying to accomplish?"

"Your evil ways will come to an end. The Digital World is no place for parasites such as you. We will make sure that you are wiped out of existence."

Angewomon shot out more of her Celestial Arrows. Burizalor saw them coming and phased out of the way. Burizalor phased just above Angewomon and fired blasts at her. Angewomon held out her hand and deflected them. Burizalor flew up and swiped at her with several punches. Angewomon maneuvered out of the way and phased out. Burizalor followed her.

"Angewomon is taking it to him," Sora said, "Whatever Kari is doing for her. It's working."

"Yeah, you're telling me," Matt said.

Burizalor and Angewomon circled each other and shot out ki blasts at each other. Burizalor cancelled out each of Angewomon's holy blasts. Angewomon phased behind Burizalor and nails him with a kick to the back. Burizalor goes flying back and stops himself. He turns to ram his blades into Angewomon, but what he got was air. He turned to see Angewomon shot down more Celestial Arrows at him. Burizalor pushed them back with an incredible force. Angewomon phased out and appeared in front of Burizalor. She delivers a devastating kick to the face of Burizalor. Burizalor goes flying back.

"Angewomon. I think its time we end this fight," ordered Kari, "Heavens...."

"Heavens...."

"Charm!"

"Charm!"

Angewomon sent out a huge wave of holy energy straight at Burizalor. The evil monster attempted to deflect it with one of his blasts but the holy beam was too strong for even Burizalor to endure. An explosion had occurred.

Kari watched on and waited to see if it had any effect on Burizalor.

"Nice shot!" Izzy commented, "If that doesn't put him away, I don't know what will."

"What a way to put it to that jerk off!" Chuumon cried out.

"No way. He's done!" Matt said, "Kari and Angewomon have won it."

"I got to hand it to her. I never thought Kari had it in her. But she's not the Digi-Destined of Light for nothing," Sora stated.

Angewomon was catching her breath as the smoke was beginning to clear. Kari looked on, sighed and nodded.

"What's the matter, Kari?" asked Angewomon.

Kari replied, "We didn't get him."

"What?!"

She was correct when the smoke cleared. Burizalor was still hovering and was unscathed.

"But that's impossible!"

"I knew something like that would happen. Even our powers aren't a match for his."

"But those attacks should be effect against anything evil."

"He's not even a virus digimon. So it's nothing more than a mosquito bite to him."

"Those were some nice fireworks. You almost knocked the breathe out of me. You are more than just a pretty face. However, your going to have to much better than that if you have any high hopes in winning this battle."

"What should we do now?"

"We continue attacking. We can not give up."

"Alright then."

"So you want another shot at me? Then be my guest."

"You bet I want another shot. Angels never give up, its demons from hell like yourself that gives us more motivation to kill you."

"Oh is that a threat I just heard? If it is, I'm trembling with fear."

"You will be, demon! Celestial-"

Burizalor quickly phased in front of her and threw him a punch. It knocks Angewomon away with that one shot. Burizalor phased behind her and shot out a devastating beam from behind. Angewomon goes flying back, Burizalor again phases out. Angewomon stops herself and turns to see Burizalor flying at her. Angewomon threw in a punch but Burizalor phased out. Angewomon turns and Burizalor applies a sleeper-type of hold on her. Angewomon gags and struggles under the monster's powerful grasp.

The others watched as Kari was taking blows like Angewomon was. Now it seemed as though Kari and her digimon have become linked during this battle.

"Kari is in the same position TK was taking a while ago," said Matt.

Sora nodded in agreement, "This could be dangerous. This type of action could possibly kill her. We have to stop her."

Burizalor grabs Angewomon and tosses her up. Burizalor fades above her and blasts down a shower of beams. Angewomon attempted to cancel them out but they were too fast. They all hit her and knocked her to the ground. Burizalor hovered down. Angewomon was rising to her feet.

"Angewomon. Why do you believe that you can beat me?"

"Its a little thing called destiny. Our destiny is to defeat evil forces such as yourselves."

"Your being delusional my winged friend."

"Angewomon has him distracted at the moment. I should go and heal Patamon now,"Kari thought to herself.

Angewomon flipped up and went to punch Burizalor. Burizalor twisted away and drove a knee into her gut. Angewomon fell to her knees and held her gut. Burizalor then follows it up with a punch to her face. Angewomon goes plowing into the ground.

Kari hovers down to the fallen Patamon. She places two hands over Patamon and her body begins to glow that same aura. Patamon felt a rush of energy entering his body. His body and power was being restored to him.

The other Digi-Destined could only watch in awe at what they are watching. Kari was healing Patamon before their very own eyes.

Kari held Patamon tightly in her arms and rocked him as if he were a child.

"Shhh. It's alright little one. I just restored to you your strength."

Patamon opened his eyes and looked up to see Kari. He noticed that she was glowing and smiling.

"Kari? Why are you glowing? Your voice is so different."

"Just relax. You'll be back to your old self in a matter of moments. You think you can lend Angewomon a hand?"

"Of course."

Burizalor started to walk over to a fallen Angewomon. A sick smile came over his face. Slowly getting to her feet, Angewomon was ready to attack and maneuver at whatever Burizalor was going to throw at her.

"You still won't give up, Angewomon. Maybe this will change your mind."

Burizalor punches Angewomon in the gut and kicks her up. Burizalor phases up and nails her with a spin kick. Angewomon goes falling down and lands hard. Burizalor hovers down and walks over to her.

"You demon, you disgust me. You will not win."

"You're so naive, you're just like the rest of them. They curse me yet I kill them. And your fate will be no different."

Burizalor pointed his finger at Angewomon as he was powering up a laser beam. Angewomon watched in horror. Her fate was soon to be decided. Either she lives or dies.

"It's been fun, Angewomon. But I got places to go and people to kill."

Right when Burizalor was going to blast Angewomon, he felt a tremendous power rising. He turned to see Patamon flying up.

"It's payback time, Burizalor. TK digivolve me!"

TK slowly rose to his feet and responded to Patamon's cries. He held up his crest and digivice.

"Crest of Hope. I command you to digivolve Patamon into his ultimate form!"

[Digimon Adventure "Brave Heart" plays in sequence]

The crest responded and it gave Patamon the power to digivolve. Burizalor got blinded by the light and turned away.

"Patamon shinka! Angemon! Angemon chou shinka! Magna Angemon!"

Magna Angemon flew down and nails Burizalor with a thunderous kick to the face. Burizalor goes flying back. Magna Angemon hovers over to Angewomon.

"Are you okay, Angewomon?"

"Yes, thank you."

"Lets attack him with everything we have."

"Yes."

Kari hovered over to TK. TK turned to look at Kari's emulating body.

"Kari. You're glowing. Kina like my flashlight. What happened?"

"The combined powers of Angewomon and Magna Angemon should be able to beat Burizalor."

"Are you sure?"

"I hope."

Burizalor was slowly rising to his feet and his eyes widened at what he saw. Magna Angemon was back with a recovered power supply.

"What?! But how?! How did he recover?!"

Metal Garurumon joined in with the two angels. They all turned to face Burizalor.

"Well Sora. Looks like we're back in the game. We didn't really need Tai after all!" Matt said, "We're sure to beat him with three fully powered digimon."

"Maybe you're right. Burizalor's power should at least decrease," Sora said.

They both looked down at the battlefield. Burizalor was now going against Angewomon, Magna Angemon and Metal Garurumon. No way they could lose.

"What's this? They all managed to recover so quickly. I don't understand this! I should of just killed them to begin with!"

"Alright! Hit him with everything you got," ordered Metal Garurumon, "Hit it guys!"

"Celestial Arrow!"

"Gate of Destiny!"

"Ice Wolf Blast!"

They managed to follow it up with several powerful ki blasts. Burizalor could not block these blasts out and was shot down. A cloud of smoke started to form around where Burizalor was standing. The digimon watched on as the smoke was starting to stir. The Digi-Destined watched anxiously.

["Brave Heart" ends]

As the smoke cleared, Burizalor was still standing there. He had a few scratches but a smirk came over his face. The digimon couldn't believe their eyes. The children were even more shocked.

"Is that the best you got? What's the matter? Don't tell me that you're going to give up already."

"Now what do we do?" asked Angewomon.

Metal Garurumon growled angrily, "I don't know. He's way stronger than all of us. We threw our best shots at him."

"Well we can't give up now. TK doesn't want to give up and neither will I," Magna Angemon said.

Magna Angemon flew at Burizalor. Angewomon tried to stop him but Metal Garurumon pulled her back. Burizalor looked ready to throw a fist in but he stopped. Magna Angemon stopped in his place when a mysterious figure phased in front of him.

The Digi-Destined looked who to see who it was. TK and Kari looked on faintly.

"Its Leomon," shouted Sora, "Leomon!"

"Uh? Leomon? But he died!" Matt exclaimed.

"Yay! Leomon!" Kari cried out.

"It's so good to see him again! I bet that X guy gave him another chance."

The digimon were shocked to see Leomon's sudden arrival. He had died in the previous showdown with the invaders, yet they were unaware that X had gotten permission from the powers that be to revive his digital spirit. He didn't even have to wait to be reborn through Primary Village.

"Leomon. Its good to see you again, old friend!" Magna Angemon said.

"You too. So is this Burizalor?"

"He transformed into his second form."

"I see. He's gotten a lot stronger the last time I fought him."

"You mean you fought him before?"

"Yes and he defeated me easily. But now I've come back better than ever. You can tell my power has increased dramatically since I died. X helped train my comrades and myself. I was given another life after X got permission from the powers that be to restore my digital spirit."

"Powers that be?"

"It's a long story."

Burizalor smiled when he looked to Leomon.

"Well it's so good to see you again, Leomon. Have you come to protect those Digi-Destined? Because if you are, then its a big mistake on your part. You should know that you are butting into something that isn't even your business. Don't you remember the last time we fought, I pummeled you like yesterday's trash, no don't make me do it again. I suggest you leave now. Now go before it's too late. Please, it would ease my conscience more if I were to spare your life."

Leomon just gave Burizalor a cold glare and didn't turn away.

***************************************************************************************

Tai held onto his digivice while waiting for Agumon to recover from his healing chamber. Suddenly, he noticed another power level on his digivice that just appeared.

"Huh? Somebody else is out there in the fight. Who is it? Well whoever it is, I hope he's on our side and I hope he helps the gang out beat that creep. Agumon, I said today not tomorrow. We really need War Greymon for this."

Tai sat down and pondered when Agumon would be done and wondered who is helping his friends at the moment.

***************************************************************************************

Leomon cracks his knuckles and turns towards Burizalor.

"Wow! It's Leomon! I can't believe I get to see him fight!" Chuumon said. "This is quite an honor."

"Alright Burizalor, lets do this. You and I, like old times. Ok guys, I want you all to stay out of this. I got this fight under control."

"What are you crazy?!" exclaimed Angewomon, "You won't make it."

"Don't argue with me."

The other digimon stare at Leomon as if he was crazy but Leomon walked over to the middle of the battlegrounds. Burizalor watched him and phased right where Leomon was standing.

"Burizalor. The last time we fought, you tossed me to the side as if I were a peon. But now, my power has increased tremendously. I have trained for the day that we meet again and here we meet. So are you disappointed?"

"Not even. I longed for the day that I rip your head off of your shoulders and place it in on my mantle. You'll make a good decoration."

The two super fighters stood face to face. The Digi-Destined and the digimon began to watch in anticipation. Something is going down between these two long-time rivals.

Burizalor may have his hands full now that Leomon has made it to the battlefield. Can Leomon hold off Burizalor and give Agumon enough time to recover?

Matt: Can he actually pull it off?

Burizalor: Ha! Ha! I'll humiliate you like the last time! You've forgotten that I can go beyond transformations. I'm just in my second transformed state, but I have two more along the way!

Kari: No! This isn't good! Two more transformations?!

Burizalor: Behold my third transformed state!
