[Digimon Tamers Opening "The Biggest Dreamer" plays]
Metalla X Possessed by Evil! The Fated Battle: Omega X vs. Metalla X!
Dark Magimon's ship. Third Level Stage.
The landscape around the ship of Dark Magimon was just as barren as ever, but there were two statues standing along the cliff side looking down towards the ship itself.
A little breeze blows up dust around Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon's statues just outside of Dark Magimon's ship.
Inside, Celesta X and the rest of the group were all standing around, waiting for this "perfect warrior" that King Devimon happened to mention just a while ago. Everyone was standing silent.
"King Devimon, why did the demon retreat from the battle? King Devimon never has retreated in any kind of a battle," Shintomon said to himself, "Something is not right here and who is this perfect warrior he speaks of?"
"Just what is he thinking?" asked Celesta X.
"No! You're the one who needs to do some thinking!" exclaimed Matt.
"Huh? What do you mean," Celesta X turned around to face Matt.
Matt stands there with his arms crossed while looking over towards Celesta X with a very annoyed look on his face. He angrily glared to Celesta X. He uncrosses his arms and walks up to Celesta X with Metal Garurumon following his side.
"How could you let a fight with someone that weak drag on for so long? You're supposed to be a member of the fusion warrior elite, just as Azulongmon had told us. The only way a fight should end is when one of you are to die."
He points his finger over her as if he were pointing the finger and blaming it all on her.
"You're too gentle, Kari! You and your talk of justice and fighting fair make me sick! A real fighter doesn't think things like that! A fight should be the ultimate test of strength! The strong live, and the weak die! Strength if everything, whether it be solo or team work."
"Hey, you better watch your mouth! At least she has a heart when it comes to battles and its helped Guilmon and I win through many battles against those Devas!" Takato exclaimed.
"Butt out, boy! This is Digi-Destined business! You and that red head shouldn't even be here! You're just standing in our way! Now where was I?"
Takato was infuriated by Matt's unadjusted attitude yet was starting to feel sorry for Kari having to put up with Matt's outbursts. Rika looked over at Matt angrily and turned away.
"Don't worry about him, Rika. He's the problem anyway."
"Yeah, but I know a jerk when I see one."
Matt clenches his fist. Celesta X glares at him for a few seconds before her expression softened.
"But… Matt…"
"Look at Davis and Ken for instance! They were to turn stone because they're weak! Hmph! Serves them right for getting into our business!"
Celesta X starts to get really angry at what Matt had just said about her two friends, but then starts to think about what he had just said.
"He's right! If I had defeated King Devimon, then Imperialdramon and Dinobeemon would have been brought back to normal."
As soon as she speaks, she starts to envision each of them in their new statue forms. She then lowers her head in shame.
"Oh give her a break, Matt," Omega X said, "Kari was doing the best that she could."
Matt turns to face Omega X and points over towards him with an angry look.
"I thought I told you, I want this playing around to end so that I can settle things with you. You owe me a fight and I can't forget that!"
Just then, Metal Garurumon starts to form a ki blast from his mouth and points down over towards the bottom of the ship. Matt turns around and gives him a nod.
"Damn it! I don't care anymore! I'm through with this playing around," Matt exclaimed, "I don't care about Dark Magimon or D-Reaper! Metal Garurumon is going to vaporize this ship and finish this!"
Just then, Shintomon goes stepping forward and runs over to Matt. He then steps right in front of Metal Garurumon.
"Don't do it, Yamato! If you do that, then you'll resurrect D-Reaper!"
The blonde-haired young man stands there and does not reply to the Supreme guardian's words.
"D-Reaper is a monster who lives only for death and destruction! Four Supreme Guardians weren't able to stand up against him! You don't know D-Reaper! He's pure evil!"
Matt looks right up and gives Shintomon a death glare.
"Shut up!"
"If D-Reaper is resurrected, all human and digital life- no everything in the three worlds- will end! The two Digital Worlds will become a giant wasteland, the same goes for Earth!"
"I said shut up!!"
Metal Garurumon directs his ki away from the floor and over towards Shintomon as if he were protecting his partner, Matt. That's what he was exactly doing right about now. Shintomon gasps, shrinks back but doesn't retreat.
"I don't care how many people or digimon die! I don't care!"
"No! You're not that kind of person, Yamato! Your just talking nonsense! I know it! You don't have that kind of mentality! Quit this bullshit!"
Suddenly, Omega X phases out and reappears right in front of Metal Garurumon, which causes the metallic wolf to stop. Matt looks up growling over at Omega X.
"Calm down, Matt!"
"Tai! You better stay out of this!"
Matt clenches his fists and has his eyes locked onto Omega X as if he were about to strangle him, but knew that he couldn't since Omega X would easily cream him.
Omega X looks sternly over to matt, who was now starting to lower his fists and keeping his composure to himself. He lowers his hand as if telling Metal Garurumon to stop his ki. Matt turns around and has his back towards Omega X. Shintomon sighs with relief.
"This is getting odd," Renamon said.
"Yes, he had the perfect opportunity to get the energy to resurrect the D-Reaper," Shintomon said, "Why did King Devimon leave?"
Omega X looks towards the ground and then speaks up once again.
"I don't know. He had he'd found the perfect warrior so that he wouldn't have to fight."
Shintomon looks up and then looks around towards each and every one of his companions. He turned to face towards Omega X. Then he turns to face Celesta X. He turns around to look over towards the Tamers and their digimon. Finally, he was able to turn right over towards Matt and Metal Garurumon. As soon as he looked over to Matt, he gasped to himself.
"No! I can't be! Did he actually find the perfect warrior?! Could Yamato be the one?!"
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon was laughing hysterically while looking over the Tamer and Destined group through his crystal ball. He sets his sights on Matt instead of the entire group.
"You're right, he is really different from the rest of them!"
The sorcerer looks over his shoulder and faces towards King Devimon.
"Its just like you said. He may not want to admit it, but some portions of his heart is evil!"
Dark Magimon turns all the way around, hitting one palm with his other fist, and then goes back to the crystal ball.
"He didn't even come here for any righteousness."
"Yes, master. That is correct."
"You did a great job, King Devimon. Brilliant work!"
"We can make them fight each other, and with the energy that we take from them, we're sure to be able to resurrect D-Reaper."
Dark Magimon giggles at the sheer thought of his father's creation being brought back to life once again to wreck havoc upon the multi-universes.
"I'm going to use you!!"
The sorcerer thrusts his palms over the crystal ball and blue dots of light start to fly towards Matt's image. Dark Magimon's eyes widened and a bright ball of light expands out from the center of the crystal ball, slowly enveloping Matt's picture. Dark Magimon screams, and soon the entire crystal ball is brightly glowing a light pinkish and white light. King Devimon has a huge grin on his face. The entire room is bathed in the light now. King Devimon shields his face from the light.
***************************************************************************************
Back over in the third stage room, Matt is singled out from the group and starts to feel really uneasy from the inside as if somebody were entering his body and possessing him. He felt a dark energy consuming him from within which caused him to quickly react to the pain. His eyes widened and he cries out in surprise. Matt falls down onto his knees and clutches his head. Metal Garurumon takes notice of this first.
"Matt! What's wrong?! Why am I detecting a dark presence from within you?"
"You guys!! Help!!"
The others looked over and gasped in shock. They all ran over towards their fallen comrade, while Matt's breathing was getting labored and he sounds like as if he were about to regurgitate.
"Matt!" Celesta X cried out.
"We've got to help him," said Takato.
"I sense something dark entering his body," replied Renamon.
"Dark? Like what? What's getting to him?" Rika asked frantically.
Omega X and Shintomon look up and were shocked beyond belief. Matt throws his head back and lets out a bloody curling scream. The others watch on from a few feet away, with confused yet terrified looks on their faces. Matt stumbles around, while holding onto his head. Veins were now visible around his forehead and looked as though his face was about to explode.
"DAMN IT!!!"
"No! I was afraid that something like this was going to happen!" Shintomon exclaimed, "I should have seen this one coming! And I thought this would have happened to Rika instead."
"What are you talking about?" asked Takato.
"What would have happened to me? This would have happened to me?!" the red-haired girl asked, "But what is happening to him?!"
Matt shakes his head, still holding it with his hands. He screams again but with a more murderous tone to it, which brought chills down the spines of ever individual within the room, including Omega X. Suddenly, he and Metal Garurumon threw their heads back and were enveloped into a metallic blue aura. They quickly merged together into Metalla X. He screams, steps forward and clenches his fists tightly.
"Shintomon, what the hell is going on?! What is happening to Matt," asked Omega X.
The Supreme guardian simply ignored him and was looking on with sheer terror on his face.
"Snap out of it, Matt!" Shintomon cried out, "Dark Magimon trying to summon the evil from you're heart!!"
"Dark Magimon is trying to unleash his evil?" Celesta X asked, "But that can't be! He's not even evil!"
"Wrong. He has at least a fraction of darkness within his heart. Dark Magimon is going to charm his evil over Yamato as we speak."
"I don't believe this!" exclaimed Takato, "So, he's the warrior that King Devimon has found?!"
Metalla X crouches on the ground, while clenching his teeth and fists tightly. His eyes were now completely shut. Sparks and electric bolts were flowing through his charged up body. Shintomon goes over to approach him.
"Yamato, empty your mind!! Don't think anything!!"
"Idiot!! How am I supposed to do that?!"
Metalla X grabs his head once again and lets out a horrifying scream of terror.
***************************************************************************************
"This is great! He now belongs to me!" exclaimed Dark Magimon.
The sorcerer stares over at both Shintomon and Metalla X through his crystal ball.
"Now to bring forth his inner power and allow him to surpass his limits!" Dark Magimon said.
Dark Magimon screams again and the ball begins glowing like there was no tomorrow. A bolt of lightning passes through it.
***************************************************************************************
Red bolts start bouncing around Metalla X, which causes a frightened Shintomon to step away as far as he could. Celesta X follows suit. Everyone watches Metalla X in complete shock. Metalla X hovers a few inches above the ground now, standing straight up, his head thrown back as he screams yet again.
"This is not good! I can't believe this!" exclaimed Takato.
Metalla X rises a few feet into the air and blinds the room for a moment with a bright flash of light. He suddenly stops screaming for a few moments to say the least. He clenches his teeth and his screams fade into a deep, monstrous growl. He's now several yard above the ground and sends out red electricity in on each side.
"My god!! What a horrible and terrifying power! Its horrible!"Omega X thought.
"No! Matt!! You can't let the darkness win!"Celesta X said in thought.
Metalla X once again has his head thrown back in a deep howl. Celesta X goes running forward to try to save her friend.
"Hang on, Matt!! Please fight the darkness!!"
Suddenly, a bolt struck Celesta X. The devastating force sends the holy warrior flying across the room.
"Kari!!"
Celesta X manages to slowly sit up from the hard impact and looks back over towards the ever so powerful Metalla X.
"Matt!!"
With his power increasing like never before, the entire ship starts shaking. Shintomon looks around in terror. Metalla X howls and the ship begins to send out monstrous shockwaves. Outside, there were small rocks lift out from the ground and hover into the air. Further from the ship itself, larger rocks are all pushed out from the surface. Metalla X's howls were now heard echoing from throughout the Digital World, enough to even bring some of the most powerful digimon falling down onto their knees.
**************************************************************************************
The Central Digi-Verse. The Grand Digital Planet
A masked fighter was seen looking out from his guard post. This masked fighter is none other than X. He turns and feels a powerful ki increasing rapidly. He recognized the ki within a nanosecond and calls over to a girl with strawberry blonde-hair.
"Keke! Do you feel that?"
"Yeah! That's my dad! What's happening to him?!"
"It seems that little worm, Magimon, is using his magic to release the darkness within Matt's heart! If he manages to recruit Matt to the forces of darkness, then the guys will be unable to stop Magimon from unleashing the D-Reaper! This is terrible and just when we came this close! Damn it!"
Keke pressed her hands against her chest and felt her heart beating fast. She has never felt this hurt since the time Burizalor murdered Matt. Those were many years ago since then. She couldn't bear to witness her own father killing other innocent souls.
"Father… Please, don't let the darkness consume… If only I could help you, then you can overcome Magimon's spell…"
X kept his attention on how the situation takes from here. He would then inform Keke on the progression of the controversial mess.
***************************************************************************************
Else within the Digital World
There was a loud motor coming from the outskirts of the barren landscape within the Digital World. Something with a very high ki level was heading towards the location of Dark Magimon's ship. It was a rather, very powerful ki and it belonged to the digimon formerly known as Impmon.
A cruel smile was forming across the face of Beelzebumon as he was setting off towards the location of the ship. Now this was his chance to get back at Takato and Guilmon for humiliating him back on earth.
"Oh yeah! I can sense their power levels from here. It's them alright, but they're with some other fighters. Wow, one of them has a power that's increasing like no other. I wonder who this fighter could be. Well, it doesn't matter. It's that goggle boy and his pineapple headed friend that I'm hunting for. Wait till they get a good look at the new and improved Impmon. Feel the wrath of Beelzebumon."
As soon as he thought that, he pushed on the gas and sped off faster than ever before and wanted to make it over towards the ship as fast as possible. Nothing was going to slow him down, not even the frightening power of Metalla X. This was Beelzebumon's chance at gaining revenge on both Guilmon and Takato.
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Third Stage level.
The ever-growing screams of Metalla X were continuing to echo throughout the ship, which brought chills down the spines of every single individual that was within the room. Omega X tried to keep his cool and clam composure but to no avail. Even, he had fear flowing through every single inch of his body.
Metalla X's eyes are shut tightly and his teeth clenched while screams were ringing out. Omega X and Shintomon both threw their arms up in defense, and then Omega X looks back up.
"I don't believe his strength!" exclaimed Omega X, "Watch out!"
"That damned Magimon!"Shintomon cursed to himself.
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon giggles with a crazed look on his face while throwing out his arms over the crystal ball and screaming. The entire room starts to go dark. The lightning stopped showering over the orb.
**************************************************************************************
Back in the other room, Metalla X's aura disappears as he falls down onto the ground, still in his fusion form. He collapses and the others go gasping.
"Matt! Are you al right?! Speak to us!" Celesta X cried out.
Metalla X crouches on the ground while quivering to himself. He was unable to get up onto his feet. Omega X manages to take a cautious step towards Metalla X.
"Matt!"
There was no response from the quivering Metalla X.
"Matt!"
Omega X slowly goes approaching Metalla X, but Shintomon jumps in his way.
"Taichi! Don't! Stay away from him!"
Everyone stops completely and Shintomon looks right over towards Metalla X for a minute.
"No. We're too late."
"It can't be!" exclaimed Takato.
"Takatomon, I'm sensing a great darkness from him now. He's under Magimon's control. This is not looking good and he's stronger than myself and Renamon now," said Guilmon.
"Matt… This can't be happening!" Omega X said under his breath.
Metalla X slowly rises up onto his feet. But instead of quivering in pain, there was a slight grin forming across his face. As soon as he tilted his head up, he was grinning like a crazed maniac and there was a 'D' marking right on his forehead. He began cackling maniacally as the D marking glowed a crimson red.
**************************************************************************************
Down at the southern region of the Digital World
Buddamon was leading his group right through the desolate landscape. They were lucky enough to get truck by another digital beam and were sent down into the southern region.
Suddenly, Buddamon stopped at his tracks and was able to pick up the increasing power level that was coming from none other than Metalla X. His eyes started to widen in fear and shock.
"No! That's impossible! Its as we feared!"
"Huh? What is it, Buddamon?" asked TK, "What's going on?"
Patamon started to frown, as he was able to pick up the same energy signal as Buddamon. Soon, every single digimon were able to pick up the power reading.
"Wow. This power level is huge! Nothing I've felt before," Terriermon said, "Henry. It looks like Dark Magimon was able to turn one of our friends onto his side with his dark magic."
"What?!"
"Yes and its just as we feared. That individual could have the sole power to even destroy the whole Digital World."
"But, who is it? Don't leave us in total suspense! Tell us who!" Kazu exclaimed.
"I hope that its not Takato or Rika," said Jeri.
"No, it's not even those two," Leomon said, "Its somebody from the Digi-Destined team."
Suddenly, TK's eyes widened as he finally came to the conclusion to the one individual that could have let the power of darkness take over their soul completely. TK looked over towards Buddamon.
"Its Matt! Its gotta be him!"
The entire group gasped in shock as they looked up to the skies above and there radical lightning started to form. The digimon were shaking underneath their boots, except Leomon and Buddamon.
"That energy. It's frightening. I've never felt such a power," said Leomon, "His ki even far surpasses our own."
"I just hope there's somebody strong enough to stop him. They can't let Dark Magimon win! We should have seen this one coming. We were completely unaware of the fact one of the children could have had a bit of darkness within their hearts."
"And I first thought it was going to be Ken, but Patamon had told me that he couldn't feel his or Wormmon's energy signal. So the second possible candidate was my brother. I can't believe that this is happening! We have to go and stop him!"
Just as TK was about to head off, Buddamon calls out to him, which caused the blonde-haired young man to stop at his tracks.
"We can't find Calumon without you. There are hidden dangers that maybe strong and out of our control. You're the only one that is able to fuse with your digimon partner. We just might never know about the dangers out here within the Digital World. Besides, I am positive that your friends will stop him and talk some reason into your brother."
"Well, alright. I do believe that my brother can fight off the darkness and I hope Tai can knock some sense into him. But I just worry for the safety of my own family, especially Kari. She's out there and I don't want to see her get hurt."
"TK, let it go," Henry said, "Kari is a pretty resourceful girl. She can handle herself. Besides, she has her brother with her and there's possible way that Metalla X can fight them all on by himself, even if he was influenced by Dark Magimon's powers. Please, TK. As soon as we find Calumon, we can go back and stop Dark Magimon."
TK stood there for a few moments while looking down to the ground. The thought of his own brother killing off his friends and Kari getting hurt was running through his mind. He finally snapped out of his trance and looks back over to the group.
"Ok. What are we waiting for? We got Calumon to find. Lets go do our part and let the others handle their situation."
They all nodded and continued their walk through the landscape. TK catches up to them and was now trying to keep his focus on Calumon rather than his brother and friends at the moment. But it was very hard not to ignore.
"Kari. Please I hope you and the others can talk sense into him. You have to stop him or else he'll go out of control. It's hard to reason with him. Tai, only you are able to do that. Please, do everything you can to stop him…"
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's Ship. Third-Level Stage
Back over at the ship, a light wind blows across the landscape outside of the gigantic underground ship.
Inside, Metalla X stands before everyone as a grin formed across his face. He looks over towards the group.
"Matt!" Omega X called out.
"Matt! Please snap out of it!" exclaimed Celesta X.
"I don't believe it!" Shintomon cried out, "Magimon did this just so we'd fight each other!"
"So, are you saying that Matt is against us now?" Takato asked frantically.
"That's exactly what I'm saying."
Metalla X screams and begins charging up his ki once again, looking at the entire group of his 'former' friends with a huge grin on his face. Shintomon and the others simply look over at him in complete shock.
**************************************************************************************
The Grand Digital Planet
X turns to face Keke with a look of disdain. The girl easily read his expression like an open book and shed tears.
"Oh, father… Why? Why did you let that bastard take control of you? No! You're better than that! Fight the dark magic, father! You have to!"
*************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon was giggling at the sight of Metalla X facing off against his entire group of 'former' friends.
"Way to go! This is exactly how I planned it," said Dark Magimon, "Lets see them fight somewhere interesting."
The dark sorcerer quickly throws out his arms over his crystal ball and was able to use his magic powers to transport them once again like before.
"PARAPATA!!!"
**************************************************************************************
As soon as he said that, the entire room was starting to transform and the whole group look a look at their surroundings. They were all beginning to wonder where Dark Magimon was going to send them off this time around.
"Now what? Where are we going now?" pondered Rika.
"Looks like he's going to make us fight somewhere else," replied Renamon.
Just then, a light faded away and the background around the fighters looked like that of a large arena. A huge crowd was roaring with a loud ovation. The group all looked around and saw a large crowd of digimon in the stands and the arena looked a bit like Etemon's old arena back in the first adventures.
"We're in a arena of some sorts. An arena full of digimon!" said Takato.
"Are we still somewhere within the digital world, Shintomon?" Celesta X asked.
"Yes. This is where the competition between the strongest digimon take place and it looks like the crowd is thinking that this was an impromptu match of some sort."
"But we're not supposed to be involved in an impromptu match!" Omega X exclaimed.
"That's not the way that they see it," replied the Supreme guardian.
"Whoa! What do we have here? Looks like we got ourselves some sort of match," said the ring announcer, which happened to be a Pumpkinmon, "I'm sorry, you looks look like in great condition. But there's always next time. What do you say?"
"We're just here for a little exhibition match," replied Metalla X.
"We'll that's nice but you know the rules. The show is about to close, but remember you can always come back next time."
As soon as the Pumpkinmon was about to make his move across the stage, Metalla X looks across ahead towards the group and he lets out a terrifying scream. A huge golden aura of light comes shooting out and the force of caused the Pumpkinmon to fly backwards. Celesta X was able to catch him in time. The crowd was now beginning to eat it up as if it were apart of the show itself and were giving a standing ovation.
"Ah! Don't they realize that this is no show!" Omega X exclaimed.
"It is to them and it is definitely to me," Metalla X replied with a cold tone in his voice.
It was now obvious that Metalla X was completely under control and has taken to the side of evil. A disgusted look came across Omega X's face.
"Hey! This is better than any normal competition. That guy just blew those others away as if they were flies," said a Numemon.
"I can tell that he is pretty strong from the ki I'm sensing from him," said Roachmon.
"Lets give them the standing ovation that they truly deserve!" called out a Monzaemon.
"Ugh! They are nothing but fools. Don't they realize that this is not a show," said Renamon.
"Forget about them, Renamon. We got more important issues as we speak," Rika replied.
**************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon watches on with a huge grin on his face and then begins rubbing his chin, while thinking to himself.
"What was his name? Oh yeah, Yamato! That's it! Yamato, this is your new master speaking! Take their energy! Fight as hard as you want! You can even kill them if you want to!"
**************************************************************************************
Just then, Metalla X stands his ground and begins speaking to Dark Magimon through his mind but he manages to speak out loud to make sure everyone hears to what he was saying.
"Shut up! I only want to fight Tai! The others mean nothing to me!"
"Matt! How could you?" Omega X angrily cries out.
**************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon was stunned beyond belief at the way Metalla X has rebelled against him. This has never happened to the evil sorcerer before and this was considered something surprising.
"I-I don't believe it! He isn't completely under my control! This is the first time that has ever happened! Well, I guess it doesn't matter."
***************************************************************************************
Suddenly, something had broken through a door at the side of the arena itself. A loud motor was heard and the crowd all turned to see none other than Beelzebumon with a sneer on his face. The group turned around to face him.
"Just who the hell is that?!" Rika called out.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't the two Tamers and their pet digimon!" Beelzebumon said as he came getting off of his motorcycle.
"I've never seen a digimon like him before, but I can sense that he has a tremendously high ki level!" Celesta X said.
[Kid Rock "American Badass" plays]
Beelzebumon comes walking across the middle of the arena. He was looking mainly towards the Tamers themselves.
"Get back, Tamers! I can sense that he was given power from the Digimon Sovereign himself!" Shintomon calls out.
"The Digimon who?" asked Takato.
"I should have told you this but it was Dark Magimon that I had my main focus on. He's the digimon guardian of the south. Digi-Destined, you might know the guardian of the southern quadrant of your Digital World."
"Yeah! It's Zhuqiaomon! But could there be another on in this Digital World?" asked Celesta X.
"Yes, exactly. This digimon was given power from that particular Sovereign."
"That's right. But I'm only here for two reasons. Want me to lay the ground rules? Fine. I want only the two Tamers and their digimon. That's all I care about."
"We'll you're going to have to get by us first!" Guilmon exclaimed.
"Oh is that so, pineapple head? Well just see who the tough guy is! And that goes for you too, fox face!"
Renamon gasps under her breath after what Beelzebumon had just said. She peers closely over towards the dark digimon and begins to detect a familiar presence from him.
"Wait. I can recognize that ki. And the way he just called me fox face. Can it really be him?!"
Rika pulls out her D-Ark and a hologram image of Beelzebumon is shown with his statistics.
[Beelzebumon. Mega Level. Special Attacks: Darkness Claw and Double Impact.]
"His name is Beelzebumon and he's a mega level," Rika said, "Goggle head, we better take him."
"Right!"
"Meanwhile, we'll try to talk some sense into Matt," said Omega X, "It won't be easy but who said it was ever easy?"
"So, are you two ready to be cremated at the hands of yours truly after I'm done with ya," the biker said.
"Can it really be you? Impmon?!"
Rika and Takato both gasped at what Renamon had just said, but Guilmon was even more shocked by the revelation.
"Impmon?! Bah! That loser doesn't exist anymore! I am now Beelzebumon! Mega digimon extraordinaire!"
"Impmon! I can't believe its really you! But why did you sell you soul to the Sovereign?" asked Renamon.
"Why? Why?! I'll tell you why! I needed the power to digivolve and I will do anything for it. Even if it means that I sell my own soul. The Impmon that you used to know is gone forever. I'm Beelzebumon. And I got a job to do, so make it easy for yourselves and surrender before me."
"Impmon! Don't do this!" Renamon calls out.
"Shut up! I'll kill you both! Lets fight!"
"Renamon! He isn't Impmon anymore. We better take him now!"
"I hate to admit it, but you're right. Lets go!"
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
Rika quickly pulls out a card from her pocket and slashes it through her D-Ark.
"Card Slash!! Super Evolution Plug-In S!!"
Evolution!!
[Digimon Tamers first evolution theme "Evo" plays]
"Renamon shinka!! Kyuubimon!!"
"Guilmon! Its our turn!"
"I'm with you!"
[Card Slash theme "Slash!" plays]
The goggle boy pulls out his evolution card and slashes it right through his D-Ark.
"Card Slash!! Super Evolution Plug-In S!!"
Evolution!!
"Guilmon shinka!! Growlmon!!"
"Ha! Is that the best you two losers got? Well it makes it much easier for me to kill you, load your data and make myself the most powerful being in the Digital World!"
"Impmon! Please listen to reason!" Kyuubimon cried.
"You can't reason with me! It's too late for that! We're fighting now! Time to settle it!!"
"You have to stop this, Beelzebumon!"
"Zip it, pineapple head!! Here's a little gift I got especially for you!"
As soon as he said that, Beelzebumon phases out quickly and reappears right in front of Growlmon and delivers an uppercut to his chin. Growlmon felt the impact and goes flying back. Beelzebumon reappears behind the crimson-skinned dinosaur and delivers a spinning back kick.
"No! Growlmon!!"
"Stop this, Beelzebumon!" Kyuubimon cried.
Beelzebumon turns around and watches as Kyuubimon goes charging right at him. As soon as she went for her Dragon Wheel, he jumps up and delivers a chop to the side of her head. Kyuubimon goes flying down onto the ground.
"Ok that's enough! I don't care who you are anymore! Your not going to try to kill any of my friends," Takato snaps all of a sudden, "Growlmon! Get him!"
Growlmon makes it up to his feet and goes charging over towards Beelzebumon. The biker digimon quickly spun back around and delivers a painful elbow shot into his gut. Growlmon lets out a cry and goes falling backwards.
"Hey! You better keep your attention onto me, Tai," Metalla X called out.
"Matt! There's no time for this! Don't you realize that we got other problems! The Tamers are going to get taken apart! Snap out of it!"
Metalla X simply stands there with an evil smirk on his face and he turns his attention over where Beelzebumon was taking apart both of the Tamers' digimon. He focuses back over to Omega X.
"Oh well. That's their problem. You better keep your attention on me alone, Tai. This is where out fateful battle shall occur. So what do you say?"
"Please, Matt! Stop this!" cries out Celesta X.
Beelzebumon had taken out both Kyuubimon and Growlmon with several hand-to-hand combat techniques. He quickly shifted his attention over to both Rika and Takato. His crimson eyes were glowing like never before while a grin formed across his sadistic face.
"As soon as I upload your pet's data, then you two are next."
"No!! Don't do it!! Kyuubimon!! Watch out!!"
Kyuubimon quickly made it to her feet and goes flying over to Beelzebumon while he had his back turned. Just as she was about to attack, Beelzebumon shoots out his fist and makes connection with her face. Kyuubimon was sent flying back and crashing down onto the ground.
"Kyuubimon!! Hang on!!"
Takato watched as Rika was running towards the battle itself. Takato tried to stop her but she was much too fast for even the goggle boy to tug away.
"Rika!! Don't do it!! He's going to kill you!!"
Rika goes charging right over towards Beelzebumon in order to save Kyuubimon from further annihilation. As soon as Rika went over to her digimon's side, Beelzebumon picks up Rika by her neck and lifts her up. Takato could only look on with sheer horror on his face.
"What do you think you're going, miss all and mighty? Not so tough when your digimon pet is down, huh? Well don't worry, sweets. Where ever she's going, you're going to follow along with her."
"Let her go, Beelzebumon!!! You're fighting dirty!!"
"Me, play dirty? Ha. I'm just getting warmed up, goggle boy. Seeing that you like this girl too much, you can join her down in the depths of hell."
"Don't do it!!"
"You know your right. I shouldn't be picking on a human. It's just not my style. But what I'll do is kill fox face here and load her data! How does that sound?"
"No you won't!" Kyuubimon cries out as she goes jumping right for Beelzebumon.
The biker quickly elbows the approaching digimon and sends her flying back. He then looks right over at Rika and noticed a look of fear across her face.
"As far as you go sweets, I'm done with ya."
With that said, Beelzebumon drops Rika and watches as she falls. Takato goes running up to try to catch her in time, but then Beelzebumon thrusts out his hand and smacks Rika away with tremendous force. Takato looks on with shock as Rika goes falling down onto the ground with a thud. Beelzebumon could only laugh like a maniac over what he had accomplished.
"Rika… Rika…"
"Aw, are we loss for words, boy? She isn't dead, but is near death after what I did to her. Shall I deliver the final touches to your 'dream girl'?"
That finally set the spark off for Takato as a fueling rage was burning up within him and his eyes looked up to face Beelzebumon. The biker took notice of this and had a questionable look on his face.
Shintomon and the others were beginning to detect a major power increase over where Takato was sitting. Celesta X was shocked out of the whole group and looked towards where Growlmon was sitting up.
"How could you? How could you? How could you do such a terrible thing?!" Takato cries out, "Now I'm going to make you hurt! I'll make you pay!!"
Suddenly, there was a red glow surrounding Takato for a moment and the others were looking on, even Metalla X looked on but was more focused over Omega X.
Beelzebumon backs away for a moment and watches as both Takato's eyes were starting to dilate like Growlmon's. Takato's own anger managed to make Growlmon digivolve straight to War Growlmon, even without the use of the blue cards. Takato let out a cry of bloody murder, just as War Growlmon was, as if they were 'connected' into one mind.
War Growlmon goes charging right for Beelzebumon and attacks him head on. Beelzebumon manages to fly out of the way and pulls out his guns.
"Alright! Try my Double Impact! You big dump truck!!"
The dark mega began to fire away like crazy over the towering beast and watched as War Growlmon stood there with the shots nailing him. War Growlmon cries out and charges right for Beelzebumon, who was then caught into a huge bite. Beelzebumon cries out.
"That's it!! Tear him apart!!"
Celesta X looks on with shock over her face over what Takato was doing.
"No! What the hell are you trying to prove, Takato? That's not the way to fight!"Celesta X said to herself.
"Make him pay for what he did!! Kill him!!"
War Growlmon manages to bite down harder, but Beelzebumon was able to break himself free by phasing out. He pulls back his fist and delivers a painful elbow shot into the monster's chest.
"Takato!! Snap out of it," Celesta X cries out.
"No!! You can't lose, War Growlmon!! I won't allow it!! Digivolve now!! I want you to digivolve straight to mega!! I command you!!!"
As soon as he said this, he pulls out his D-Ark and it started to glow. His eyes were just as possessed as ever.
"Ha! Did I make the little boy mad and go cry like a baby? Right when I'm doing killing your little pet, I'm going to finish what's left of you."
"Your wrong, Beelzebumon. You're the one who is finished!! War Growlmon!! Digivolve to mega!! Now!!"
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
Calumon was sitting down alongside a lake in the middle of nowhere and was about to take a drink. But then, the crystal on his head shot out a powerful, red beam and sends it right over to the other side of the Digital World.
**************************************************************************************
Southern Region
There stood a large, castle of some sorts with a rather gothic and demonic look to it. Suddenly, there was a large flash of red light channeling and shooting out across the skies. It was heading directly for the digimon arena over on the other side.
**************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Third-level stage. Digimon Arena
The crowd looked up and was now beginning to evacuate as the two beams came shooting down onto War Growlmon. The cyborg ultimate cried out with sheer rage as his body was starting to change form. The group could only look on with terrified looks on their faces, with the exception of Metalla X of course.
The hazardous sign across War Growlmon's chest was starting to glow with a rather, crimson color to it.
**************************************************************************************
Earth. Hypnos Towers.
The crew within the Hypnos building was repairing everything that had been lost ever since the attack by Vikaralymon, but everything seemed to be running smoothly.
Just then, an alarm came across the grid screen and several hazardous signs started to instantly appear.
"Sir! We're getting a huge power increase from the digital vortex!" Riley exclaimed, "Make that two. Both are enough to destroy the entire digital vortex and the destruction of its world!"
Yamaki gasped at this sudden news and had just remembered the fact that the children had gone into the Digital World.
"What?! How drastic is it?! I need to know!!"
"Its strong enough to cause a sudden meltdown and there's nothing we can do since most of our equipment has been destroyed from the last digimon attack," Talley replied, "All we can do is hope and pray for the meltdown warning to disappear, which I doubt will happen."
"No! The children! This can't be happening! Not now!"
**************************************************************************************
Biyomon felt uneasy throughout her feathered body. It was as if something were piercing her heart. She flies up and looks out towards the window. She saw a bright, red light flashing down upon the Hypnos twin tower buildings.
"Biyomon?" Sora calls out. "What's going on?"
"Sora! Take a look at that!"
Sora looks up and gasps at the sight of the red beam illuminating over the twin towers. She placed her hand against her chest and felt it beat faster than it ever has before.
"What's this strange feeling I'm getting? I've never felt this sort of sensation before. I just hope Tai isn't involved with this. Something tells me that everything has turned out worse than I thought. Tai. Takato. Kari. TK. Matt. Rika. Not mention everyone else. I just hope that they make it out of there. I hope with everything within my heart…"
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Mr. Wong looks across from his window and over towards the Hypnos buildings and then over towards his computer. A horrified look comes across his face. He could easily tell what the 'hazardous signs' meant and it wasn't good news.
"No!! Henry!!! I can't believe this is happening! What on earth is actually going on over on the other side?! If I let anything happen to you, I will never forgive myself…"
**************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Cody and Armadillomon had just left the Dungeon Dice Monsters arena since there were technical difficulties due to some unknown activity involving a power surge. This was really caused by the after effects from the digital world.
"Cody! I have this weird feeling that power failure wasn't because of technical difficulties."
"I know. I'm inclining to agree, Armadillomon. Something tells me that a disruption is occurring in the digital world."
"No kidding. We better go find the others, Cody. This is something Izzy would know about."
"Right! Let's get- Whoa! Take a look at that!"
Armadillomon turned to where Cody was pointing. The digimon's mouth dropped as he saw a bright red beam illuminating over the Hypnos towers.
"Well, you don't see that everyday," Armadillomon remarked.
"This is serious! We better let the others know about this!"
With that said, Cody headed off to find the location of one of the resident Digi-Destined. He had just remembered that Izzy was still in town and decided to see him at the hotel.
"I just hope Izzy is there!"
"Man, I really need to exercise more. Cody is running faster than a marathon winner!"
****************************************************************************************
Yolei looks out her window while tightly holding Naomi in her arms. Hawkmon's feathers stiffened as he felt the uprising power growing from the digital world.
"Oh, Ken… Are they okay, Hawkmon?"
"How should I know? All we can do now is pray, Yolei. That is all we can do for them now."
"Praying just isn't enough… They've been gone for a whole day and now this happens? Just what the hell is going on in the digital world?"
Mimi sat in a chair with Dimitri in her arms. She felt just as uneasy as Yolei was. Suddenly, her heart started beating faster than it ever has. He was worried over the fact that Matt might be involved in this situation.
"Just what is going on? I've never felt this nervous before. Ok, I've been through scary situations before, but this takes the icing on the cake. Something tells that a horrible event is about to happen…"
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Third-level stage. Digimon Arena
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme"]
The red, invisible energy surrounded War Growlmon as he started to change form. The others took notice of this and were now feeling a very, strong and negative ki from the now evolving War Growlmon.
"He's digivolving!" Shintomon said, "But into something horrible… What is Takato doing?!"
"That's it!! Digivolve to mega!! That's the way!!"
Just as he said that, the light began to fade away and what Takato looked across wasn't exactly what he wanted. Now in War Growlmon's place was a large, dragon-like demon with spikes all over his sides and huge arms equipped with devastating-looking claws. The hazard sign on his chest was glowing like never before. The demonic monster growled under his breath and let out a horrifying scream that sent chills down the spines of everyone, including Takato.
"Takato, what have you done?! What have you done to Guilmon," Celesta X asked with a terrified look on her face. "That power. That monster's power is strong!"
"Guilmon… What have I done to you boy?!" Takato said with tears coming down his eyes.
As he gazed up over to the monster formerly the lovable Guilmon, he dropped his D-Ark and it quickly shattered into digi dust.
"I'm sorry… Guilmon…"
[Super Sayian Vegeta English background theme plays]
Omega X looked on with shock but then heard somebody call out from behind him. It was none other than Metalla X, who was pointing his finger over to his former friend.
"Its time, Tai! Our fated battle!"
As soon as he said that, Omega X stares at him curiously. Then Metalla X's point turns into that of an extended palm facing out.
"Matt!! No!!"
Metalla X simply chuckles and sends out a power ki blast over to Omega X. Omega X throws up his arms into defense as the beam goes flying right towards him. Metalla X pushes the blast as he watches it start to push Omega X back and it grows bigger as it does. Metalla X grins like a madman. Omega X is slowly driven backward as Celesta X and Pumpkinmon watch on in shock. Shintomon watches from the opposite side of Celesta X. Metalla X screams as he pushes more into it and Omega X slides back across the stage already. Near the edge, he finally jumps out of the way with a scream. The blast continues over towards the seated crowd themselves. They tried running as fast as they could but to no avail.
"Oh no!" Celesta X cries out in terror.
"We're too late!" exclaimed Shintomon.
The spectators flee, but the side of the stadium explodes and engulfs most of them with it. Further out beyond the arena, buildings start to collapse. The group is stunned beyond belief. They stare out through the empty path to a mushroom cloud down the road.
Omega X looks down while hovering from the skies above. A horrified look came across his face as he gazed down upon both the monstrous mega form of Guilmon and Metalla X's destruction. Two devastating crises have all occurred in one area. He could not stand for this.
The group all looked on with astonishment and fear. Huge clouds of dust and smoke start to rise up, and an entire section of the stadium are gone. On either side of the hole, there were many empty seats since the crowds of digimon were quickly starting to evacuate. Metalla X chuckles at the sight of the destruction.
Omega X finally drops down to the ground and stares in horror over at the smoking hole. He clenches his teeth, looks back and turns around to face Metalla X.
"Damn you, monster! Damn you to hell! The real Yamato would never do this…"
With that said, Metalla X's grin grows wider and he gives a stare down over towards his long-time former friend and now adversary. The long-awaited showdown between the two top fusion fighters was soon going to go underway.
Takato looks down at the ground and looks up at the 'monster' that he created. The exact same monster he created, from his own anger. He had let his anger get the best of him and it caused Guilmon to transform into a nightmarish monster.
"Guilmon… Forgive me… I should take my own life away for this… I never meant to turn you into a monster…"
Beelzebumon looks up as he began to back away from the 'monster' as he opened its mouth and released a blood-curling scream.
Rika and Kyuubimon were both lain out and had no idea of what was going on at the very moment.
Smoke rises out of the gaping hole in the side of the Digimon Fighting Arena. A shallow canyon runs off from the opening off into the distance, tearing straight through a nearby city. Screaming spectators flee the area as quickly as possible, and the seats are littered with abandoned items. The group stares over at Metalla X with frightened looks on their faces while standing across from him.
"Matt! What the hell are you doing?" Celesta X cries out, "This isn't the damn time!"
Omega X glares right over towards him, with Metalla X simply smirking back over at them.
Over on the other side, Megidramon growled as he had his main focus over towards Beelzebumon. The monster's mouth gaped open with acidic saliva dripping down and eating its way through the floor. Just then, Rika's D-Ark started to analyze the monster, which Rika couldn't see since she was already knocked out unconscious from Beelzebumon's blow a little earlier. She appeared to be near death after taking such a devastating hit by the biker demon.
[Megidramon. Mega Level. Demon Dragon type. Special Attacks: Megido Flame and Hell Howling]
The group was simply just terrified of Megidramon's image, Takato being the most frightened.
"Something is obviously wrong with this," said Shintomon.
"I know that Guilmon is a virus type, but he just plain out scares me," replied Celesta X.
Megidramon lets out a horrifying scream as he quickly lashes out his tail over at Beelzebumon and wraps his tail around the biker. Beelzebumon was unable to detect it coming and was caught. Now he was feeling body started to get constricted by the monster's tail as if Megidramon were a snake trying to squeeze the life out of its prey. Megidramon went down in order to bite Beelzebumon but he managed to grip his jaws. Beelzebumon fell closer to his back while Megidramon's jaws moved closer to his head. The monster's saliva dripped from his mouth and fell on Beelzebumon's face, as it began to burn like acid.
"Ack!! You're drooling over me!!"
Celesta X covered her face at the frightening sight of Megidramon, and Takato tries to calm her down.
"Kari, I'm sorry…"
"You're sorry!! You turned him into a monster!! Guilmon didn't deserve this!! He was a cute and an adorable little dinosaur but now you made him into a terrible demon that I can't stand to look at…"
"I'm sorry… It was my anger… I couldn't control my anger…"
***************************************************************************************
"Dad!! No!!" Keke exclaimed tearfully.
X clenched his fists angrily as if he were about to enter the fray himself. However, this was a situation Tai had to handle on his own. The masked warrior restrained himself from interfering.
"Oh, dad! How could you?! How could you let that damn imp control you?!"
***************************************************************************************
Mimi sits up from her chair with her eyes nearly stiffened. Dimitri noticed that his mother was stiffened and held onto tightly.
"Matt?!"
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon was laughing gleefully at the sight of what was happening; yet he was still shocked to view the whole ordeal between Megidramon and Beelzebumon.
"This is great! Over two hundred of those data scum are dead!"
He and King Devimon watch the action through the crystal ball. King Devimon was grinning like never before but then spoke up.
"But there's something that I would like to know. That Beelzebumon wasn't a part of our plan. I don't recall him wearing the 'D' marking. He must have been sent by the Sovereign of the Southern quadrant."
"So, good ol' Zhuqiaomon is up to his old tricks again. He always seems to know a way to always butt into my business! I thought I told him that we had our agreement! We agreed to stay out of each other's businesses. However, I'll let this one slide this time around. In fact, I'm enjoying the fact that Beelzebumon is giving us less work to accomplish. If he can eliminate those two children and their pets, then it will be more energy for the D-Reaper to collect! We'll win in the end! That fool Zhuqiaomon shouldn't have underestimated me and now his own henchman will be his own undoing!"
"Yes and it seems as though on of the humans has managed to digivolve his digimon partner into mega level, despite having a negative reaction. It's intriguing, but true. It really doesn't matter now, just as long as energy is gathered for D-Reaper's revival. Metalla X is doing as he is told."
"You're right and I think I should reward him sometime after the D-Reaper has been resurrected! Oh what a happy day! Ha! ha!"
***************************************************************************************
Back over at the arena, smoke continues to pour out of the stadium. With the exception of people on the stage and a few stragglers in the stands, the entire stadium has been virtually deserted.
"So, what are you going to do now, Tai?" Metalla X asked coldly.
Omega X could only look on in complete stunned silence as he looked over towards his 'friend'.
"This isn't the time, Matt. We've got a situation over here with Takato and his digimon. We've got to help him and make Beelzebumon pay for his crimes."
Metalla X simply just stood there and then spoke up once again.
"You will fight me, Tai. Unless of course, you want more a mountain of corpses to grow."
"Matt, you wouldn't…"
Metalla X simply smiles and licks his lips.
"How sad… I didn't think you were weak enough to be controlled…"
"Tai. Don't push him any further than he is now!" Celesta X said, "How could you do this to us, Matt?"
Metalla X doesn't answer, which further infuriates Omega X even further.
"Answer me now, Matt!! Do you even choose to be anybody's slave?!"
But Metalla X simply holds out his right hand straight out and forms a ki blast. Omega X watches in shock as his 'friend' quickly vaporized another section of the stadium right next to where Megidramon and Beelzebumon were fighting. Screams ring out throughout the stadium. Dust and debris fly out over the stage.
"Tell me? Does being enslaved ever get you what you want, Tai?" Metalla X said.
He grins like a possessed madman. Celesta X and Shintomon could only look on with stunned looks on their faces. Anyone remaining in the stands began running out for their lives. Omega X watches the destruction with sheer astonishment and anger. He slowly turns to face Metalla X, who was still grinning. He slowly raises his arms to about chest height and glares at Metalla X, trying to control his fueling rage. Celesta X runs in between the two fusion warriors.
"Please stop, Matt! We have to help Takato and Guilmon!"
Metalla X responds by swinging out his arm angrily, and throws up a wind that knocks Celesta X over.
"Stay out of this, Kari! You little fish should stay away! This fight is between me and your joke of a brother."
"A joke, huh? Wow, that's a new one," said Omega X.
Celesta X rises back onto her feet, but nobody says a word after that. After a few seconds, a light wind begins to blow at Omega X's armor and slowly lifts up, as a orange aura surrounds him. Metalla X straightens up, laughing. Celesta X turns her attention back over towards the battle on the other side between Beelzebumon and Megidramon.
"I've got to get Rika and Kyuubimon away from there. They're in the line of fire as we speak,"Celesta X said to herself.
***************************************************************************************
Earth. Hypnos Headquarters.
Mr. Wong made it over to Yamaki over at the Hypnos base. As soon as he came walking in, he saw nothing but numerous of hazard signs all over the grid screens. They were seemingly starting to blink as if a meltdown were about to occur at any moment. He looks over to find none other than Yamaki himself.
"What is going on, Yamaki? What's happening to the Digital World?"
"We're making a prediction that some unknown force of energy coming from the Digital Hazard has interrupted the computers of the whole real world."
"Have you been able to get into contact with Henry and the other children?"
Yamaki nodded his head and this certainly wasn't a good sign as Mr. Wong was now more worried than ever.
"Then, what are we going to do? They're going to die out there!"
"I doubt that, Mr. Wong. These children are a very resourceful bunch and have been able to put me in my place numerous of times."
"True. But they're still children and they're all alone out there."
"They're not alone. They're with their digimon and I have a good feeling that everything will be back under control. They will make it out alive, I can guarantee you that."
*************************************************************************************
Cody and Armadillomon managed to rush through the hotel and find themselves outside of Izzy's door. Just as the boy was about to knock, Tentomon opened the door.
"Oh! Good! You guys came!" the insect digimon blurted.
"Izzy! Did you see those lights outside?" Cody asked.
"Yeah. Something obviously is happening in the digital world. My computer nearly crashed because of it. I can't even get reading through Tai and the others. It's as if some sort of electrical power surge disrupted it."
"Well, that stinks."
"Don't worry. We've got the power back on. Let's just hope something like that doesn't happen again."
"I hope they make it out of there. I have a feeling it's only going to get worse," Cody said.
"I'm inclined to agree, Cody," replied Izzy. "But we have to trust in them. They'll make it out of there. At least, I hope so."
****************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World.
Ryo and Cyberdramon had already separated from the group just after the encounter with Orchimon. They both looked up towards the skies to see a bunch of red beams shooting up from the ground of the Digital World.
"I wonder what is going on," said Ryo, "I've seen too many of those beams already and they're becoming quite a concern."
"I sense a great danger from those beams and a presence of a powerful individual. But I can't seem to recognize the ki," said Cyberdramon.
"Huh? Unbelivable…"

Dark Magimon's ship. Third-level stage. Digimon Arena.
[Final Fantasy VII "Aeris' theme" plays]
Megidramon was continuing his struggling torture over the demon, Beelzebumon. He started to tighten his grip as the biker digimon was starting to gasp for air. Takato goes running up and calls out to his digimon friend.
"Guilmon! You have to stop this now!"
But the demon dragon kept his eyes over Beelzebumon, while tightening his grip even down further and was making sure that his enemy would not escape. Beelzebumon had struggled not to get bitten.
"Ugh! So this is what Chatsuramon meant by my full power?! I'm not impressed! Did he just send me out here just to die?!"
Suddenly, Chatsuramon appeared out of nowhere and appears right before Beelzebumon. He looked over the struggling Beelzebumon.
"What is this?! You are supposed to be much stronger than this! You are merely letting him trying to kill you! Stop this foolishness and get serious!"
"You think I'm joking around?! He's killing me over here!"
"Enough! No more excuses! The Sovereign won't tolerate for any excuses! Now shape up and I'm going to give you some of my own energy. Use it and don't let us down."
With that said, Chatsuramon kneeled forward and transferred some of his own energy and Beelzebumon started to absorb it away. The demon felt his power increase and he slowly started to take advantage of Megidramon and pushes himself up. As soon as Chatsuramon vanished, Beelzebumon pushes all the way up and Megidramon felt the tremendous power coming back to the demon biker.
Celesta X flies right over towards the fallen Rika and Kyuubimon. She places Rika on one shoulder and Kyuubimon on the other. Just then, Rika was starting to move about.
"Save your strength, Rika. I'm going to get you away from here," Celesta X said.
"Takato… Where's Takato?"
"Hey you three! I'm not letting you off the hook that easily!" Beelzebumon shouted.
Celesta X turned to see Belezebumon shooting out several guided shots over towards her, but she was able to phase away from each shot and reaches over towards the other side to meet up with the others.
"That was too close!" exclaimed Celesta X, "Alright. Are you alright, Rika?"
"I think so, but where's… Oh my god! Takato!"
"Stay here. He's in the line of fire, but he can't afford to seeing you getting hurt again."
"But Kari… We can't just leave him out there… Beezlebumon will kill him!"
"No, Megidramon is there and Takato should be fine."
"Megidramon?"
The red-haired girl peered over towards Megidramon and her eyes starts to widen in fear.
"That's… Guilmon? But that's just not right…"
Beelzebumon began to scream as he pushes Megidramon's head away with one hand, but then he wrenches back his fist on the other hand. As soon as he did that, he delivers several punches to Megidramon's face sending the towering powerhouse falling.
"Takato!! Make this stop!!" Celesta X cries out.
Megidramon's head began to fall backwards, but Beelzebumon swung his feet and delivers a devastating kick to the monster's chest, breaking the hazard symbol on it. Megidramon fell on his back and fainted. Beelzebumon continued to scream as he felt more stiff pain on his back. He held his fists tightly while attempting to control the power that Chatsuramon had give him.
Takato gasped in horrifying shock at what had just happened. He turns around and looks over towards Celesta X and Rika with a look of disdain.
"I'm sorry, guys… I should have held my anger in. I couldn't control it. Its all my fault…"
"Takato, don't blame yourself. What you just did has happened before," Celesta X said.
"It has? When?"
"It happened during the first adventure thirteen years ago. I wasn't there at the time, but Tai told me that he tried to force Skull Greymon to digivolve but it ended up in a negative sort of way. He ended up as Skull Greymon, rather than Metal Greymon. Tai blamed himself for that but he knew that he would correct that mistake. And you know what?"
"I'm going to have to correct that mistake."
"Right."
"But how? Megidramon… Guilmon could be dead."
"No, this is your chance to correct the mistake and show Guilmon that you truly care for him. Its the only way that its going to work."
"But…"
"Just do it, goggle head. Besides if anybody can do it, its you, Takato."
The goggle boy turns and looks over towards the fallen Megidramon with a sad look on his face. Megidramon wasn't even moving, which made Takato even more nervous than ever before. Whether he'd be dead or alive, it was time to correct the mistake that he had just made.

The entire screen was now beginning to clear away of Megidramon's Hazard signs. A sigh of relief came from the entire team.
"It appears that the danger is over for now," said Riley.
"Every trace of energy from the signs has all but faded. We should be fine," Talley replied.
"Looks like the terror within the Digital World is over for now, but I doubt it will be the last of it," Yamaki said, "Janyuu, I want you to bring the Monster Makers back here. I have an idea that might just work."
"Thank you, Yamaki. I never doubted you to become a changed man."
"Well, for our sake, we're mainly doing this for the children."
***************************************************************************************
Outside of Hypnos, a silver-haired half-demon had just come from the feudal era to see his comrade, Kagome. He stopped and saw the bright red light disperse into the skylines. He was a bit surprised by these 'supernatural occurrences'.
"Feh. It's not like I see bright lights like those everyday."
The half-breed Inuyasha leaped across to begin his search for the girl known as Kagome. From there, he would get her to go back to help find more Shikon jewel fragments.

Dark Magimon's ship. Third-level stage. Digimon Arena
[Super Sayian English background theme plays]
Shintomon goes running up towards Omega X and steps right in his way as if trying to hold him back from fighting.
"Please don't, Taichi! If you fight, then you'll be falling into Magimon's trap! He'll absorb your energy, and it surely be enough to resurrect D-Reaper."
Omega X simply ignores the Supreme guardian's pleas.
"Tell me, Matt. You went to your own way to be charmed by Dark Magimon just so that you would have a reason to fight me. Am I wrong?"
"If I hadn't, we would have never fought. We don't have much time to stay here and this would be the perfect time to settle our differences. Lets face it! All of Magimon's cronies have been nothing but wastes. And this D-Reaper is nothing more than a waste. Once the others find Calumon and I have beaten you, then we can all move on with our lives."
"So that's it?! That's your stupid reason to be charmed by darkness?" Shintomon asked.
Metalla X was quickly stunned by anger at what he had just said. He rasps with enragement.
"Stupid reason?!"
Shintomon gasps as Metalla X raises his ki and screams out.
"STUPID REASON?! That's everything to me! I don't care at all about D-Reaper!! Tai has gotten stronger than me! Even though we both are been able to fuse with our digimon, he surpassed me! I was to have that power many years ago and become leader of the Digi-Destined! He's even saved my life and I can't forgive that! Absolutely not!!"
Shintomon and Celesta X both turn from Omega X and Metalla X, eyeing each of them curiously. Finally, after a long pause, Omega X looks forward into the sky and yells.
"Dark Magimon! Move us somewhere uninhabited!"
Shintomon gasps in shock.
"I will fight Metalla X!"
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon laughs hysterically at what he was hearing and then looks back over to the crystal ball.
"Look what I've done! Yes! So hard to believe, but true!"
***************************************************************************************
"Fine!" Shintomon exclaimed.
The group watches as Shintomon moves in between both Omega X and Metalla X, holding his arms out.
"If you want to each other so badly, then you're going to have to kill me first to do so."
Shintomon stares right up towards Omega X, who at the same time returns a glare over to the Supreme guardian.
Beelzebumon tried to withstand that pain that was surging throughout his entire body. Takato walked over towards Megidramon slowly.
"Oh, Guilmon. I'm so sorry boy. I never meant to force you to turn into such a monster… I'm so sorry…"
Takato kneeled before Megidramon and several teardrops fell from the goggle boy's eyes.
"All of those times that we've spent together. We made the perfect team, you and me. We're the dynamic duo. We stuck to each other all the time. But the most important thing that you told me that no matter how much bigger you get when you digivolve and no matter how scary you end up looking; you will always remain the same and I haven't forgotten that. But you know what, you always were 'you'. I should have seen that a long time ago, but now. I can't even share those feeling with you anymore. I've lost control of you because I've lost control of myself. Please don't leave me, Guilmon… I need you. I have to correct my mistake…"
[Metallica "Unforgiven" plays]
Meanwhile, Shintomon and Omega X were staring each other down. Omega X suddenly drops his fist and lifts his right arm over to Shintomon, who looks on with a surprised look on his face. Celesta X looks on with shock. Even Metalla X was caught by surprise. Omega X has his palm raised right in front of Shintomon's face. He stares fearfully but doesn't move.
Omega X starts to form a ki blast within the palm of his hand. He holds it and stares down at Shintomon, who looks on with utter shock. For several moments, they stare each other down, and then finally, Shintomon drops his arms and lowers his head in defeat.
"Fine. So be it. Do as you wish."
Shintomon steps out of the way and walks over to the side, knowing that he can't stop the two fusion warriors. Omega X drops his arm.
"I'm sorry, Shintomon."
"Yes, so am I."
Omega X turns his attention back over to Metalla X, whose sadistic grin widens.
Dark Magimon laughs madly while hopping around gleefully at the turn of events.
"Has their friendship already broken up? Serve you right, Shintomon!"
"Its only a matter of time now until D-Reaper is brought back to life," replied King Devimon.
"I'll do as they wish and move them."
Back on the arena grounds, Beelzebumon looked to his side and noticed the showdown between the two fusion warriors and knew that he would be no match for either of them. He moves his attention as he glares right over to a weakened Rika and Kyuubimon.
"Well, well. Looks like those two are still alive. Ok, then. Time for a little target practice."
With that said, the biker demon pulls out his two guns and starts walking over towards the two with a sadistic grin on his face.
"Oh no! He's moving back over here," exclaimed Rika.
"Oh no! You better stay back," Celesta X said as she powered up with an aura surrounding her.
"Ugh. Great. Another one. These guys must be some sort of super warriors or something. More like freaks to me. Oh well. I better show missy here not to mess with me."
"So, what's it going to be, Beelzebumon," Celesta X asked, "Surrender since you can't beat me, or attack and get yourself killed?"
"As a matter of fact, I think I'll choose option three!"
Beelzebumon quickly turns around and points his guns over towards Takato. Rika and Celesta X both looked on with shocked gasps.
"Takato!! Get out of there," exclaimed Rika, "He's behind you! Look out!!"
As soon as Beelzebumon shot out his Double Impact, the bullets came flying right for Takato. Rika and Celesta X cried out for him to move away, but then Megidrmaon's eyes widened as he quickly recognized his Tamer's voice.
"Takatomon?"
"Guilmon!!!"
Just then, Takato found himself back in his own room and looked around in complete shock.
"Um, okay? I'm back home."
He turns around and notices the notepad drawing of Guilmon. He went over and picked it up.
"Who said Guilmon was data? That's because it's not true. He's more than just data. He's my friend and he will always remain my friend no matter what. I just hope you forgive me for what I just did to you. I was foolish to think that I could force you to digivolve."
Just then, a familiar childish voice was heard as Takato looked behind him to see an afterimage of Guilmon.
"We'll always be friends, Takatomon. And that friendship is very real."
"Guilmon!!"
Takato now found himself in a vortex surrounded by floating Guilmons, which caused him to panic and look around for his real friend.
"No! I don't want to start all over! What I really want is the Guilmon that is my friend! Not DNA! Not data! Just my friend!!"
As soon as he screamed, a red trail comes shooting out and Takato goes running towards it. He looked up ahead and saw none other than Guilmon sleeping.
"Guilmon!! I'm over here, boy!!"
"Hmm? Takato? Is that you?"
Just as he reached over, he found himself holding onto the real Guilmon on his side. They rejoiced. Guilmon found himself awake and alive.
"Thank you for coming back, Guilmon," said Takato, "I thought I was going to lose you forever."
"So, can I have some peanut butter bread after this journey is done and over with?"
Takato nods his head and gives Guilmon a deep hug.
"You can have whatever you want, boy."
"Takato!! Look out!" exclaimed Rika.
"Beelzebumon is going to kill you!! The bullets are heading your way!! Move away!" Celesta X cried out.
But just as the bullets were about to hit Takato at the very last few seconds, Guilmon's tail turns into an afterimage of Megidramon's tail and swipes the bullets away. This quickly caught Beelzebumon by surprise. Guilmon jumps up onto his feet.
"Ok! That's enough!" exclaimed Guilmon, "Its time to fight back, Takatomon!"
"Are you sure, Guilmon?" the goggle boy asked, "But you just got a pretty bad beating a little earlier."
"I'm fine now. We're working together now."
"Ugh, so the pineapple head is up. Now that is all going to change!" exclaimed Beelzebumon, "I'm going to put you two out of commission for good!"
"I want to make Beelzebumon pay for the crimes he's committed," said Takato, "But how can I if I'm just a human."
"You don't know that. Maybe you just have to wish for it to happen," said Guilmon, "Plus we're not going to fight alone."
"Alright. I really wish for us to fight together! So we can make Beelzebumon pay for what he has done! He has no right to attempt to take other people's lives just because he was miserable before. Now its time for him to serve justice and punish him!"
Suddenly, the ground around Takato and Guilmon began to shake as a bright glow started to engulf them. The entire group all turned around to see the two starting to what seemed to be 'merging'. Celesta X and Rika was the most surprised.
"What's going on?" asked Omega X.
"They're merging much like you fusion warriors! But the reason why is unknown," said Shintomon.
"Impossible! He's just a mere child," said Metalla X.
**************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon looked on with shock as he watched the mergence of both Guilmon and Takato. He looks over to King Devimon with a stunned look on his face.
"What are they doing?! Don't tell me that they are…"
"Merging and it looks as though that they only want to deal with Beelzebumon. But it should really be no concern since we're only here to gather energy. The fight that we should be focused on is Omega X and Metalla X."
"You're right. We shouldn't worry over little nuis… Impossible!! His ki is increasing!"
"What?!"
***************************************************************************************
Biomerge Evolution
[Digimon Tamers second evolution theme "One Vision" plays]
Takato felt his body entering Guilmon as they were now merging. Soon they began to digivolve together.
"Guilmon BIOMERGE to!!"
Armor and gauntlets start to form across Guilmon's body as his face transformed to that of a knight. His whole form was basically a royal knight as a large shield, a long joust and crimson, flowing cape was flowing from his back. The top of his helmet had a representation of Guilmon's face on it. He goes flying out with his joust intact.
"Gallantmon!!"
As soon as the light faded away, Gallantmon stood there in the center of the battlegrounds while everyone else looked on in awe by the newest evolution form of Guilmon.
"Is that Guilmon's true mega form," asked Celesta X, "They merged much like ourselves."
"Yeah, I'll say. Takato. If his final form is a knight, then you are truly are a hero," Rika said.
Celesta X was quickly caught off guard as a sweat drop came running down her face.
"What? Don't I have any right to call goggle head that?"
"Not at all, but…"
"Well, that boy and Guilmon sure have it in them," Omega X said.
"Bah. He's still a rookie!" remarked Metalla X, "But I'm impressed. Lets check this out."
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon was distracted by Gallantmon, but then turned his attention back to the two fusion fighters.
"Alright time to send them all to a new location! PARAPATA!!"
***************************************************************************************
Back on the battlefield, the whole group was quickly transported as they now found themselves in a desolate landscape within the Digital World. They group looked around in awe. As soon as they materialized, it kicks up some dust, added to the dust already being blown about by the light wind.
"You shouldn't have any complaint about this place," said Metalla X.
"No."
"Don't do it, Tai!" exclaimed Celesta X.
"Don't worry!" said Shintomon, "There's nothing we can do to stop them, Hikari."
"So, what do you have in mind?" asked Celesta X.
Shintomon looks over to Omega X and nods. The guardian has a plan in mind.
"Fight all you want, Taichi. Hikari, Rika and myself will break into the ship and stop Dark Magimon and King Devimon. Gallantmon, you are to stop Beelzebumon. Omega X, you may fight Metalla X as you wish. Now this is our chance to stop Dark Magimon before D-Reaper is revived.
He turns away and looks down at the hole that leads into the next room.
"It'll be too bad if the shock awakens D-Reaper," said Shintomon, "But if he was to come back anyway, I would rather fight a weakened D-Reaper than a fully powered by your energy damage. And if we're lucky, we might be able to stop him before he's brought back to life!"
**************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon watches on with an intensified look on his face as he looks back over to his crystal ball.
"No I can't let you do that!"
"No. We shouldn't worry," replied King Devimon, "After all, Metalla X's only duty is to gather energy for you. If Shintomon shows up, he'll be helpless as long as I'm here."
Soon, the sorcerer's face turns from a frown into that of a wicked smile as he looks back to the events occurring on his crystal ball.
***************************************************************************************
"Alright, we are off," said Shintomon, "Hikari. Rika. Lets go."
"Come on Rika. Lets go."
The red-haired girl looks right back towards the showdown between Gallantmon and Beezlebumon. A faint smile comes across her face.
"You better win, goggle head."
Rika goes over to Kyuubimon as she quickly de-evolves back to Renamon. She picks up Renamon and holds her up. Celesta X goes and picks them both up as she went over to follow Shintomon down into the hole leading into the fourth-stage level at the bottom.
***************************************************************************************
King Devimon approaches Dark Magimon as an idea came to his mind.
"It probably be best if we opened the doors and allowed Shintomon to come here unobstructed. It wouldn't be very interesting if they shocked D-Reaper back to life before he is perfected."
The sorcerer looks right back at him.
"You're right. I understand."
***************************************************************************************
With that said, he made sure that every single passage was opened with access.
Celesta X closed her eyes as she quickly sent a telepathic message to Omega X.
"Tai. We'll be back, okay?"
"I know you will, Kari. Do your best. Remember to get angry. Remember how angry you got when you fought Virus. Use all of your power."
"Get angry?"
"If you do that, there's no one that can beat you. No one at all."
"Thanks Tai. I will do my best and will make you proud. Good luck on your battle with Matt."
"Thanks. Good journey, Kari."
As soon as he finished the telepathic message with his sister, Omega X turns his attention back over towards Metalla X. His smile had already faded as soon as he faced Metalla X.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Matt."
"I've been waiting for this for a very long time, Tai. I've been waiting for a long time!"
[Rob Zombie "Dragula" plays]
Metalla X quickly holds up his fists, while hunching forward to get into his fighting pose.
"I don't want to damage you caused to me to be used for D-Reaper. I'll have to fight you at full power to get this over with as soon as possible."
"I'm looking forward to it. I want to see how affective your training has been for the past couple of years."
Suddenly, some lighting quickly jumps out and then disappears in front of Omega X as he clenches his fists and raises his ki. He glows orange briefly. More lighting appears.
"Impressive. You're even stronger than your little sister, Kari, was when she fought Virus."
Metalla X screams and raises his own ki. The dust clears up a little and they size up each other.
"It doesn't look like this will end quickly. I will have to give it my all here," Tai said to himself in Omega X's thoughts.
"Lets go! I'm going to kill you when this is all said and done!" exclaimed Metalla X.
They stare at each other as the force of their combined ki throws up a seemingly endless amount of dust.
Over on the other side of the battlefield, Gallantmon and Beelzebumon were facing each other off as their kis also forced against each other. Gallantmon gives the biker demon a death stare and this greatly agitated Beelzebumon.
"Hey, what the hell is going on here?!"
"Now that everyone has left," Gallantmon spoke, with the combined voices of both Takato and Guilmon. "Beelzebumon, friendship was given to you but yet you rejected it and tried to take away a valuable soul. How do you condone to the actions that you have committed? I can never forgive you for attempting to killing off a very important soul."
"Forgiveness?!"
"Yes. You will go back to hell because you deserve to die for your actions. The one named Rika never done anything to you and now you must pay. We can never allow to you kill other such as Henry, Jeri, Kazu and Kenta. You shall die here by our hands."
"If you want me to die, then you should kill me yourself!!"
"So be it, Beelzebumon!!"
As soon as they both said that, the two warriors charged right over at each other as Beelzebumon extracted his claws and Gallantmon fly up with his joust intact.
Now this is more like it! Two heated battles to go underway! Will Gallantmon make Beelzebumon pay for his crimes and will Omega X be able to stop Metalla X? Plus will the others stop Dark Magimon in time before the D-Reaper is unleashed?
