[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Azulongmon's Room of Time! The Two Decisive Powers Collide: Cyberleomon vs. Artificial Jax
The scene starts off with somebody getting their stuff together in a backpack. It is Tai and it looks like he is packing up for something, as if he were about to take a vacation but there was no time for a vacation at a crisis such as this. But Tai wasn't going on a vacation. He is getting himself prepared and for what, only he knows. Sora comes barging into his room and watches him.
"What are you doing, Tai? Don't you think this is a really bad time for taking a hike?"
"Sora? You're joking right? Don't you even realize what I'm doing?"
"No, but you look like your about to get the heck out of here and take some sort of vacation."
"Ah c'mon. You know that the leader of the Digi-Destined runs away from the fight. You know better."
"Well you've been acting very suspicious lately. And I want to know what the deal is."
"Deal? There is no deal? Ha. Ha. Sora you're a joker. Man, you just need to lighten up."
"I will if you only told me what your doing."
"Ah there's no time to explain. I really got to run."
Sora stepped into Tai's way and blocked the doorway. Tai tried to squeeze through but Sora stood her ground with a stern look on her face. Tai sighed and put his backpack down.
"Now tell me what's up?"
"Well you see, I think it's now time to start my training with Agumon. We really need to break out of the rust and get the groove back, so to speak. Well, if you don't understand that, then the bottom line is that we are going to go train and get stronger so we can fight those artificials and stop Virus? Is that all I had to really say?"
"Well. If you're going, you're going to need this."
Sora holds out a pair of goggles. Tai looked down at them and a smile formed across his face. Sora smiled and placed them onto Tai's hand. This made Tai feel even better to know that Sora has all the confidence for him.
"Now, you be careful and you guys train as hard as you can. You always said that the goggles are always your good luck charm."
"Thanks Sora."
"Don't mention it. Hmmm."
Agumon comes running and in between the two. Tai and Sora go falling down as Agumon turned to face them. He looked a bit worn out after running around to get several things together for himself.
"You got everything that you need, buddy?"
"Sure, Tai. Not to mention all those snacks and everything. A digimon can't go on a training session without a little chow."
"Tai! Wait for me," Kari cried out.
Tai turned to face Kari, who also had her things together. Gatomon stood by her partner's side, as she looked ready for a training session of her own.
"We're ready to go whenever you are."
"Kari, this is too dangerous for you."
Tai, c'mon. I think I know how to take care of myself. I've become much more responsible during your absence. I need this chance. Gatomon and I have been waiting for this very day. We want to reach the level of fusion status and if its possible, we want to reach that ascended level. Please, Tai…"
Tai stood there thinking and looked down at his younger sister. He could remember how he always took care of Kari throughout his whole childhood. That is until they became Digi-Destined. They were chosen children sent out to protect two worlds. Tai has watched Kari mature from a scared, little girl to much more confident and reliable asset to a rather important group. Kari has indeed proven herself as an equal to her own brother.
"Well, you know what? Yes, I think its only right for you to come. You've proven a lot to me during these past few years. But that's no surprise, you're my sister and a strong-hearted Kamiya. It runs in the family."
"Thanks Tai."
"Well, now that is all settled, are you going to be heading out now?" asked Sora.
"Yeah. I think its only right that we go. Now telling when those artificials will arrive. So, are you ready to go, Kari?"
"Yeah."
"Wait hold on. Don't you think we should tell the others about this? Because we don't want them to know that you walked out," Gatomon said, "Besides they might be off looking for those artificials."
"Then I say we surprise them. What do you say," Tai asked to Kari.
"Sure."
"Alright then. Sora, we're heading out. Make sure you let Izzy know. Ok?"
"No problem. But, one question."
"Yeah?"
"You think that it's even possible to reach to the ascended fusion level? I mean after all, its never been done before."
"I don't know. But it doesn't hurt to try. There are always great challenges to come in your life and this is one of them. I think I really need to prove to myself that I truly am capable of leading the Digi-Destined. And I think this will teach Kari a lesson or two of how to be a responsible leader much like myself. So, yeah we're doing this, whether it kills us or not."
"You two just be careful and I hope you know what you're getting yourselves into."
"Don't worry about us. We'll handle this," Kari said.
Sora nodded in agreement as she watched her two friends and their digimon walk out. She had hoped to see them again but then again, she wasn't going to stop them from fulfilling a destiny.
"Good luck, guys."
Tai looked over to Agumon as if he gave him a signal to digivolve. Kari did the same to Gatomon. The two digimon were now set to digivolve.
"Agumon!"
"Gatomon!"
"Evolve now!"
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
Agumon was the first to respond as Tai's digivice and crest of courage powers began to power up to help the little dinosaur to digivolve into his highest level of digivolution.
"Agumon warp shinka!"
Agumon went through his champion and ultimate level stages as he finally reached his mega level, War Greymon.
"War Greymon!"
"Gatomon chou shinka!"
Gatomon's body transforms to that of a woman's body and a pair of wings came out of her back. Beautiful, blonde hair formed on her head and there stood a goddess-like figure in place of the once adorable Gatomon.
"Angewomon!"
Tai and Kari hopped onto their digimon as they headed off to follow up to the other Digi-Destined, who were on a mission in locating Virus.
"You think you can pick up their energy levels, War Greymon?"
"I think can try, Tai. Lets see here. Yes they were heading from this direction."
"Great, then get us over there as soon as possible."
"Right. Just hang on tight."
"Angewomon, you too!"
War Greymon and Angewomon boosted up their speed, which got them to fly across the landscape in hopes of reaching up towards the other Digi-Destined on time.
["Target Akai Shougeki" ends]
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, the other Digi-Destined were still on their search for Virus. They have become quite impatient and were about to give up, however, Davis would not allow that.
"C'mon guys. We can't give up yet. We need to find Virus now before he kills anymore innocent people."
"He's right. If we give up, we lose and Virus wins," Xveemon said, "So are you guys still with us?"
"Look Davis, we know that you don't want to give this up but there's no way that we are going to find this creep if he keeps hiding. Now I don't know about you but I hate this search mission. I should be at home getting some beauty sleep!" Yolei complained.
"And no telling where Virus could strike next. He's too unpredictable," Cody remarked.
"C'mon guys. Are you just going to throw in the towel already? We're supposed to be the freaking Digi-Destined here, not a bunch of wussies," Davis angrily said.
"He's right guys and I'm standing by his decision," Ken said.
"You can sure count me in," Leomon replied.
"So what about you guys?" asked Stingmon.
The others all looked towards each other until two voices cried out from behind them. They all turned to see Kari and Angewomon.
"Hey its Kari!" Yolei cried out.
"Kari! We're glad that you managed to come," TK said.
"And I'm not alone," Kari replied.
They all turned and shocked looks came on their faces on, which they were seeing before them. Tai and War Greymon flew by.
"Hey! Its Tai!" Davis exclaimed.
"And War Greymon! About time you two managed to come out of naptime," Xveemon said.
"Well you've got to hand it to them, they managed to survive a life-threatening virus," Cody said.
"No kidding but I'm glad that we're alright. That antidote sure did the trick," Tai said.
"I feel like a million dollars," War Greymon, "My power and strength has been restored and all thanks to a simple little medicine, who knew?"
"Ha. Well, we're glad that you managed to take the time to help us out," Davis said.
"Actually we're here to tell ya'll that Kari and myself are heading into the Digital World to visit the four digimon guardians. I believe that they have a training dimension where we can get a full years of training in just one day."
"Whoa! One year of training done in a day? Is that even remotely possible?" asked TK.
"Yeah. I heard Azulongmon telling Agumon and me all about it. Only few warriors have managed to survive it. But I know deep down in my heart that War Greymon and myself are capable of handling the challenge."
"Wow. A year of training in a day and are we able to come?" asked Davis.
"Sorry, but you guys have a tough mission ahead of you. You got to track down Virus as soon as possible. I really wish I could help but I really want to get this over with. And I don't think War Greymon isn't in any kind of mood for waiting."
"Aww, well. Just let us know how it turns out."
"We will. And we're going to go find Dimitri and Matt along the way. I believe when Matt said that there was a way to ascend to next level of fusion, and then he is capable of doing it with Gabumon. But since Agumon is also able to fuse with me, its possible that we can reach that ascension. Like they say, it never hurts to try."
"Yeah. TK, I want you to take care of yourself for me, ok? And don't worry about me, I got my brother to watch over me," Kari said.
"Yes. I understand. You go on ahead. Don't worry, we'll find Virus and make sure that you won't even have to face him."
"Thanks."
War Greymon flies over towards Leomon and began to sense his ki. Leomon curiously looked towards him as if he were going to question him.
"So you must have received some of Azulongmon's power to reach to a new form, right?"
"Yes. Now I am able to reach my mega level. I now have two."
"Saberleomon and…"
"Cyberleomon, but even with my upgraded power, I was unable to defeat Virus."
"Hey don't you sweat it. Tai and I will make sure that he pays for his crimes when we get done with our training."
"So do you agree that we should take Dimitri and Matt along?" asked Tai.
"Yes. That way we have a better chance at beating Virus and the artificials. But you must hurry, because the more time we wait, the more time we allow Virus to absorb and kill more innocent people. And we must hurry before he can even absorb the Jax and Sonja models into his being in order to reach his final, complete form."
"Don't you worry! He won't reach his final form and I'll see to that," Tai said.
"So are we ready Tai?"
"Yeah. We don't have too much time left. So lets all be heading out. Ready Kari?"
"You bet!"
"Lets go!"
War Greymon and Angewomon once again boosted up their speed in order to departure from the scene and head out to find Dimitri and Matt along the way. Their plan to reach the next level of fusion was now underway but time was of essence as far as stopping Virus is concerned.
***************************************************************************************
Dimitri stood alongside a side canyon ledge with Faith at his side. They looked across to see Matt and Gabumon standing on an edge of a cliff. Matt looked out towards the sun and began to picture every turn of event that had just occurred during the past three days.
Faith looked up to feel two powerful ki-levels heading their way. Dimitri stood up and looked to see whom it was. Was it the artificials? No because they have no ki-levels to sense from. A smile formed across Dimitri's face when he saw War Greymon and Angewomon coming down.
"Kari! Tai!"
"Hey Dimitri! Its good to see you again," Tai said.
"So the antidote managed to work?"
"Yeah thanks to you, now we're back to being one hundred percent again and ready to kick some artificial tail."
"Great, so where are you two heading to?"
"We're heading off back into the Digital World. We're going to train for a whole year but it is a dimension where it can be done in a day."
"A year of training in a whole day? Wow, that's unheard of."
"Yeah. Azulongmon said that he heard legends of a room that was capable of that feat from another dimensional world that he is unaware of."
"Hmmm. Interesting. So you want me to come too?"
"Yeah. Well, at least you and Matt," Kari said.
"I don't think that's possible. Just look at him. He's been standing there on that cliff for almost three days without almost any food or water."
"Man, he must be dying of a another shot at those artificials. Well, maybe I can persuade him," Tai said.
The young boy walks over towards Matt in order to ask him. Matt turned to face him with a frown on his face.
"Geez, you woke up on the wrong side of the morning."
"Taichi, leave me alone."
"Aw c'mon dude. We're on the same page, remember?"
"So what do you want?"
"You want another shot at those artificials now, do you?"
"You damn right. Gabumon and I are dying for a rematch!"
"Then come with us. We'll take you to a dimensional vortex room where you can get a full years of training in one day."
"Hmmm. There's a full years of training in a whole day? Gabumon and I can accomplish a lot more over a period of twelve months."
"Yeah. So here's what I was thinking. I think you and Dimitri along with your digimon can go into the room together. Then Kari and I shall take a turn."
"Hmmm. This better not be another one of your tricks, Tai."
"Dude, would I never lie?"
"Well, you managed to get my curiosity back. But under one condition, Dimitri and I will enter first. You got that?"
"Sure. But you know, this is a good way to get a better father and son relationship going."
"Very funny."
"Yo! Dimitri, you ever notice Matt always like that?" asked Kari.
"Yep. He's like this all the time. But he's quite a humorous guy when he needs to be."
"Well, he's just upset that his band didn't get much success."
"I see. Well, maybe I can help win his fans back."
"Really?'
"Yeah, its a synch."
"Ha. I'd like to see that happen."
The two young boys continue to face each other off while Kari and Dimitri look on as they waited for them to finish their conversation. Now they were prepared to make their next move and venture out to head to the Digital World and start the training as soon as possible but they would have to let Azulongmon know first ahead of time.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the three artificials began to search through the local park in Odaiba. Yes, they were getting loser towards the location of Taichi but they had no idea that he already left with Kari. Jax and Sonja looked across in order to get any glimpses of Taichi, but there were no signs of him.
According to their calculations, they knew that Taci comes to this park to play soccer with his friends, but today nothing. Black War Greymon turned away from the park and faced the other two artificials.
"So anything yet?" asked Jax.
"Taichi is not in Odaiba," Black War Greymon replied.
"He's not?! Where the hell could he be?" Jax asked impatiently, "Where was the last time he was located? Can you pick it up through your sensors?"
"Yes. I will try."
Black War Greymon began to analyze the city and picked up a reading from the apartments.
"Well?"
"He was last seen in the local apartments just an hour ago."
"Ok, then. He'll just have to come right back sooner of later. So I say we come back here tomorrow and we'll get him from there," Sonja said.
"Not a bad plan. I need a little rest in order to get into the right frame of mind," Jax said, "So you think you can handle one more day of waiting?"
"I'm actually looking forward. I really don't care when I get my chance to fight War Greymon just as long as I do get a shot at him."
"Deal. Well then, lets get going," Jax said as he flew up.
Sonja and Black War Greymon soon followed him as they flew out of the city limits in order to get some rest until the big confrontation tomorrow morning. It was only a matter of time for the artificials to get their hands on Taichi and fulfill their mission. Black War Greymon looks forward to fighting War Greymon and plans to fight with the best of his ability.
**************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Virus is found in a dark room as he chased after several innocent people. They ran inside a room of mirrors in order to escape from the evil monster. But that would soon prove useless as Virus decided to use the mirrors to his advantage.
Every time the people looked around them, they could see nothing but Virus on all of the mirrors. They didn't know which one was the real monster himself. The crowd decided to take another way out through another hall of mirrors and they found themselves stopping at a dead end. As they all turned around, they couldn't see anybody sneaking up behind them. Not even a sign of Virus anywhere.
But as soon as they turned around, Virus appeared in front of them and attacked them using his spiked tail to absorb them. Blood-curling screams were heard throughout the room and it sent echoes throughout the whole hall of mirrors. But even screaming will not be able to save from being absorbed by Virus.
Outside the hall of mirrors, the other Digi-Destined found themselves investigating a local amusement park. To their surprise, there wasn't a single trace of life anywhere. No people were even left. Virus had already beaten the Digi-Destined to the location and taken all of the energy that he needed.
"Damn! We're too late!" Davis growled angrily.
"These people did not deserve this kind of fate," Ken said.
"If only we could have been here much earlier," Leomon replied, "Then Virus wouldn't have had anything to absorb!"
"That Virus is getting out of hand! He's killing more innocent people by the hour," Cody said.
"Virus! We're not going to give it up! We won't let you outsmart us again!" TK cried out.
But watching them from above a platform was none other than Virus himself. He looked down chuckling to himself and could only laugh at the so-called incompetence of the Digi-Destined.
"Just look at them! Ha! I could absorb them, but I'll think I'll pass on that! The artificials are much more important to me than them. Just you wait, Digi-Destined, it will only be a matter of time."
With that said, Virus suppresses his ki and flies off into the skies in order to keep himself from being seen by anybody. Now he would gather some more energy from helpless victims and then proceed on to find the artificials to complete his transformation.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, Azulongmon led Matt, Dimitri, Tai and Kari into a long passageway inside a dimension much more parallel than to that of the real world and the Digital World. This was the hallway leading to them room of time.
"Now, I must warn you that only the most noblest of warriors has ever entered the room and survived the tell about it. But you are more than just warriors, you are Digi-Destined who have protected our world many times to establish yourselves as great assets. You are more than worthy in entering this room. Now you realize that one-year in this room is one day in the outside world. I created this room after learning of another dimensional world containing a room much similar to this."
"What other dimensional world?" Faith asked.
"That I can't speak of, but X knows about it. He has watched as a group of skilled warriors enter the time chamber and emerge as earth's greatest champions," the Holy Beast replied.
"So, this is another one of X's wacky training tools?" Dimitri asked.
"Yes, it is. You won't be disappointed after you receive the results. Tai and Agumon have entered this time chamber before."
"When did they use this room?" Kari asked.
"They used it during the three years after defeating Burizalor," Azulongmon replied. "That is one of the reasons Tai chose to remain in the digital world. He only managed to spend half a year in there."
"Heh. We're slackers," Tai muttered.
"Wow. So that's it?" asked Gatomon.
"Yes, quite a decorative outside door, isn't it? Now it is time, who will enter first?"
"We will," Dimitri said, Matt and I will."
"Alright. Now only four must enter the room. So it's you, Matt, Gabumon and Faith. I hope your ready for what your about to be prepared for. And one more thing, you can only enter this chamber twice. After you have entered a second time and you are not out of there on the second day, then you will be trapped in it forever."
"We're ready," Gabumon said, "I just hope there's more than enough food in there to please my appetite."
"Oh trust me. You have plenty of it," Azulongmon replied.
"Ok, I want this to make this clear. This is not a vacation. This is work," Matt said to Dimitri.
"Alright then. Get ready."
Azulongmon motioned towards Gennai as he walked over towards the door and opened it. Matt noticed Gennai and gasped.
"You're Gennai? But I thought you were…"
"Dead? Well I was reformatted after losing my data. I'm back to being my young self again. Not to shabby, don't you think?"
"Yeah, not bad, for an old man."
"Just don't stress yourself out in the chamber or you really could become an old man," Gennai remarked.
"Ha, hell no. C'mon, Dimitri. Its time."
The two Digi-Destined entered the room along with Gabumon and Faith. As they entered, they could see only a white, empty room with barely any outside light and air conditioning. It felt pretty hot for a moment and then it became freezing cold the next minute.
"So this is the room of time," Dimitri said, "Now I get the chance to know how it feels to even last one year in here."
"Well get used to it," Matt replied, "We're going to be training our digimon in here for a full year. Plenty of time for hard work and I don't want you to slow us down."
"I don't plan to."
"Good. So lets survey the area and know our environment."
"Lets just hope you are going to take this full year of training seriously though," Dimitri said to himself.
Dimitri walked across and found himself in an empty space with no surroundings. He felt as though that he were trapped inside a box without any way out. He felt shivers down his spine and fell to his knees. Faith fell over to him and was getting worried of his partner.
"Dimitri. What's wrong?"
"The environment in here is much different from that of the Digital World or the real world. I don't think I could even last one day in here."
"But we have to. We have to get the training out of the way, Dimitri. Plus, don't you want to ascend to the next level like you said?" asked Faith, "I'm actually looking forward to it."
"Well to make us happier, then I say we suck it up. You think that you're up for this?" asked Dimitri.
"You bet! I won't hold you back!"
"Good. So lets begin."
Dimitri turned around to see Matt standing there with a smile on his face. Dimitri nodded to them and walked over to him in order to let him know that he is now officially ready to train his digimon in order to reach to the next level of fusion.
"I plan on reaching the ascended fusion level along with you, young father,"Dimitri thought. "Mark my words. I will become you're equal."
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, the Digi-Destined all gathered into a group as they were planning out to make their next move. They have already become out of breathe and quite impatient for looking for Virus.
"There's no way that we're going to find him now," replied Cody.
"Yeah, especially if he is able to hide his ki," Yolei said, "I'm telling you, he's not stupid. He will know when we are approaching."
"So I say we take a break for today. Then maybe, we'll have even better luck tomorrow," Davis replied.
"Yeah. I'm starting to fall asleep here," Xveemon said.
"But we must find him before he is able to find the other artificials and reach his final form," Ken said.
"Just you wait, Virus. I'm not through with you yet,"Leomon thought. "If it's the last thing I do, I'll be the one that stops you from absorbing those artificials. Taichi, I just hope that you and War Greymon will be able to ascend to the next level of fusion, because we're going to need it to defeat Virus."
**************************************************************************************
December 21, 2004
Back in Odaiba, the sun began to rise to start a new day, and the Digi-Destined were all taking a nap in Tai's apartment home. Fortunately, the Kamiya parents were told to go out of town for various reasons and this was a reasonable excuse.
On the floor, the whole Digi-Destined gang, with the exceptions of Tai, Kari, Matt and Dimitri, were asleep on the floor. However, there was one individual still awake and is anticipating for the arrival of Virus at any given moment. That individual was Leomon.
Leomon had his eyes locked onto the television while watching the news, in order to get up to date for the Virus situation.
"The monster has been stopped yet again in the city of Nakano and he has left nothing of the whole city. Every single trace of people has disappeared as a result of the monster's invasion. We advise you to stay indoors, in hopes for this situation to get under control."
"You just won't stop, Virus! Damn you!"
Suddenly, there was a dark power making its presence felt outside the apartment complex. It wasn't Virus this time, because these dark powers contained no source of ki.
Leomon took notice of this and turns his attention to the window. He steps outside and what he saw caught him by surprise. He looked down to see all three artificials looking up at him. Jax, Sonja and Black War Greymon were all lined up and waiting.
"Hey! Can Taichi come out and play now?" Jax taunted.
"Hmmm. Taichi is not here," replied Black War Greymon.
"He's not?! Damn! He's still not back yet?! Well then, Leomon, I guess you have no choice but to tell us where he is located, right?"
"No! Why don't you look for him yourself! If you want answers, you're going to have to fight me first!"
"Well, as much as I want to beat the living crap out of you, I have no time for weaklings such as yourself. But if you want to do this the hard way, we can," Jax said.
Just then, Davis and Veemon came walking out. They were barely just waking up.
"Yo, Leomon. What's going?" asked Davis.
"Davis! Get the others up now!"
"Ah! The artificials! You guys! Rise and shine! We got a situation here!" Veemon cried out.
This easily catches the attention of the other Digi-Destined as they all woken up from their sleeps. TK, Ken, Yolei, Sora, Mimi, Michael, Cody, Izzy and Joe all gasped at the sight of the artificials. Their digimon were ready for another round with the artificials.
"Alright guys! Digivolve on our count!" Sora said.
"You guys stay put! This is my fight," Leomon said, "You all remain here."
"So you want us to yourself?" asked Jax, "Very well then. But I won't go easy on you like the last time that we fought. Now you will tell us Taichi's location!"
"Never! Those islands over at the distance and away from Odaiba! We'll settle it there"
"Very well then. Lead the way."
"Remember, you guys better stay put. I can handle this," Leomon said as he flies up.
The artificials begin to follow Leomon out and towards the skies, in which he would lead them away from Odaiba and keep the fight away from the city and to avoid causing destruction to more innocent people.
Leomon flies down to the nearest island that was very far from the Odaiba mainland. The artificials fly down to meet Leomon down. Leomon looked at the environment around him and turned towards the artificials. Sonja sat down as if she were going to observe the battle. Black War Greymon simply stood motionless and uttering a single word. This made Leomon even more suspicious as he turned his focus over towards Jax.
"No, I'm going to ask you this last time. Where is Taichi? If you don't tell me, then I'll really kill you."
A smile formed across the face of Leomon as he powered up. Jax felt his ki increase and gasped for a moment.
"Lets get it on. You and me, one on one! And keep your friends out of this, this is just you and me."
"Don't worry. They're just spectators. This only involves you and me."
"Good. Then I have a better chance at beating them and destroying them before Virus has a chance to absorb them to reach his final form. I just need to finish this quick or else Virus will find us."
"So, shall we get started then?" Jax asked.
[Disturbed "Fear" plays]
"Leomon warp shinka!!"
Jax gasped and felt Leomon's ki-level increase tremendously and witnessed Leomon digivolve into his second mega form, Cyberleomon.
"Cyberleomon!"
The artificials looked on with surprised looks on their faces. Jax just stood there and got into a fighting position.
"Lets get this over with."
Cyberleomon crack his knuckles and gets into a fighting position of his own as he prepares to duke it out with Jax in a rematch.
Cyberleomon and Jax were facing off with one another and giving each other some rather cold looks before they would have the opportunity to beat the living hell out of each other.
Jax clenched his fists and cracked his knuckles. He looks over towards Cyberleomon and a smile formed across his face. Cyberleomon smiled right back at him.
"So I see you're actually going to go through with this after all. Well, don't go crying when I beat the living hell out of you. Comprende?"
"Of course. I've been looking forward to this."
"So, are you ready to get humiliated again, Leomon?"
"That won't happen again. I think it's going to be the other way around."
"Ha. So be it. Lets see what you're actually made of then."
Cyberleomon gets into a fighting stance and pulls out his sword. Jax steps back and balls his fists up fiercely. Cyberleomon charges in at Jax to make his first move, but Jax came right at him with his fists wrenched back.
"Give me your best shot, Leomon!"
"With pleasure!"
With that said, Cyberleomon quickly phased out, which left Jax in total disbelief. He couldn't believe that Leomon managed to phase out so quickly just as he did. Jax looked around and he was getting a bit nervous.
"He's gotten faster since the last time that I fought him. I wonder how he got this fast."
Suddenly, something was coming up right behind Jax as if a gust of wind was passing by. But as soon as Jax turned around, he saw Cyberleomon throwing him a mighty punch but Jax was there to block it just in time. Cyberleomon threw in several punches, which Jax was able to block out with ease. However, Cyberleomon leapt and attacked him head-on.
"Wow, you're a lot faster than I give credit for!"
"You still haven't seen the best of my abilities."
"You may have digivolved into your mega form, but you still won't be able to catch up to him! Think fast!"
Jax takes advantage as he rams his fist into the face of Cyberleomon. The punch connected and it made Cyberleomon's head snap backwards. Jax stood there with a smile on his face but then his face showed signs of worry as he saw Cyberleomon looking back down at him.
"How is that possible?"
Cyberleomon wrenches back and delivers a fist to the face of his own. This heavy punch managed to send Jax flying back into the ground. Jax managed to flip up onto his feet and he was shocked when he couldn't find the newly digivolved Cyberleomon. He had managed to phase out yet again. But this time, Jax was going to keep his eyes out for Cyberleomon and not let his guard down.
The ground around them was starting to shake as a result of the heavy punches and attacks being delivered by both fighters. They weren't going to give in just yet and weren't planning on giving up now. Flashes of light were distancing away from each other and colliding with one another, which was a clear indication that the two fighters were going so fast that not even the naked eye was able to keep up with their tremendous speed.
***************************************************************************************
The Digi-Destined's digimon were picking up the two super powers and were shocked to realize how powerful and fast the two fighters really were.
"Man! Can you believe it! Leomon is a lot faster than I thought! I can't even detect his movements," Veemon said.
"Whoa, he must be the most powerful warrior on two worlds now!" replied Davis.
"Its not over until its over. We can't say for sure otherwise," Ken said.
"Well so far, Leomon seems to be getting the upper hand over that artificial," said Hawkmon, "That artificial has yet to make a strong offense."
"Well, he better not let him get any kind of offense on his side," Yolei said, "We have to win this fight, if we want to make sure that Virus doesn't have any artificials to absorb."
"I hate having to sit out here and not be part of the action," Davis said, "If this fight drags on longer than we want it to, then I'm going to over there and none of ya'll are going to stop me! So, Veemon, you ready for a little fight?"
"I'm ready, just give me the signal!"
"No, Leomon has made it perfectly clear that we must stay here, no matter what happens," Sora replied.
"Well, I'm sorry. I'm just not going to let those artificials gang up on him otherwise," Davis said.
"I wonder how Kari and Tai are faring with their training right about now. Its almost been a full day," Cody said as he was thinking of the other Digi-Destined.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, back in the inner-training dimension, Kari and Tai were patiently sitting alongside a platform, in hopes for Matt and Dimitri to finish their digimon training. It was almost a full day since they entered the room but it seemed as though that it was almost a day and a half, which wasn't going to favor the others.
Kari looked over towards Tai, who was just about out as he quickly fell asleep. She sighed and looked over towards Gatomon.
"How long has it been?" asked Kari.
"Well, it's been a full day. Why ask?"
"Well it's almost been a day and a half. Matt and Dimitri have been in that room for quite a while. Time is just about running out and we have no idea of when Virus could instantly show up and absorb those artificials. I have a bad feeling about this."
"You know just because things are soon going to be looking bad, doesn't mean we have to give up," Agumon said, "I don't know about you but we should just not think about those kind of things. I know Tai would want you and Gatomon to become focused for the training."
"So, tell me Agumon. How is the training like?" asked Gatomon.
"Its really difficult, perhaps the hardest thing that I ever had to complete, but I was actually able to survive one full year in the room. Ok, maybe the food in there was a little bland, but it was worth it. As you can see, I've come back stronger and faster than ever. Not to mention a little hungrier."
"Ha. No arguments there," Kari said.
"But you know he's right," Gennai said, "Once you get used to it, it will actually become a major help for your powers. Gatomon, you're able to evolve into your mega level but you have not yet reached full potential in order to reach that level of status. However, through this training, it's more than likely that you not only will reach your mega level but also that of your fusion level. You and Kari could eventually fuse into a powerful being much like..."
"Omega X…"
"Yes or even more powerful. You will just have to see the results of the training for yourself."
"I can't wait!"
"C'mon, Matt. You guys better hurry up. There's not much time left. I wish I could have a bowl of rice or something. I'm dying over here," Tai thought.
****************************************************************************************
Cyberleomon nails Jax with a right hand and sends him flying back Jax lands on his feet and his eyes go widen for a moment.
"How did you get this strong? There's no way, you could give me this much difficulty."
"Ha. Allow me to demonstrate my secret power."
Cyberleomon clenches his fists and lets out a bloody roar as his body started to shake and a large aura of light formed all around him. The ground on which he was standing on was starting to shake as a result. The other artificials were shocked to see how much power that Leomon was releasing less than one power up.
Black War Greymon picked up Leomon's new ki-level and was quite calm for a moment until his sensors starting going off.
"Jax! That's not Leomon! Jax, its not even Leomon!"
"What?! How can that be possible! I am sure this is Leomon! This is just his evolved state."
"Yes but he seems much different. His power has risen from the last time we fought him."
"Heh. Well no duh! He's already evolved and there's no way he could have achieved this much power in such a short amount of time. No way possible!"
With that said, Cyberleomon flies right at Jax and goes to punch him, but Jax gets into a position as he prepares to twist to the side but Cyberleomon quickly phases out. This quickly caught Jax by surprise as he felt a powerful energy coming up from behind him. Jax's eyes widened as he turned around.
Cyberleomon wrenches back and nails a direct hit into the face of Jax. The artificial felt the impact head on and goes flying back into the ground. Jax had never felt so much power being delivered from one single punch and was starting to worry.
"No! He's stronger and faster than me! How is this possible?! There's no way that he could have achieved this much power over such a short amount of time! I didn't even see him training or anything. What's his secret?!"
Cyberleomon comes up from behind Jax and goes for a spinning wheel kick but Jax ducks under and rolls to the side. Jax quickly phases out and reappears right behind Cyberleomon.
"Come on! Give me your best shot!"
Cyberleomon held out his hands and started to power up. Jax watched on as Cyberleomon formed a ball of energy in his hands. Soon after powering up, the energy ball got several times bigger and was even bigger than his whole body. Cyberleomon points it towards Jax and lets out a roar.
"Incredible power! What's he planning on doing with that energy ball?! He knows that he won't be able to hit me!"
"Beast King Shadow!"
Cyberleomon releases a black ball of energy and closes his hands together and made the energy ball bigger and more powerful. Jax watched as the energy ball came hurtling towards him. Then he tried to phase out but he didn't have enough time, so he went and crossed his arms into a blocking position. Cyberleomon closed his hands again and made the energy ball fly right at Jax in order to nail him.
This time, the energy ball was able to nail Jax and explode right in his face. The artificial watched as the energy ball imploded right in front of him. As a result, there was a large explosion and it took off a huge chunk of land away. Cyberleomon stood there as he was still attempting to catch his breathe.
"Wow, he's gotten a lot better since the last time we creamed him," Sonja said. "I wonder how he achieved this much power in just three short days."
Black War Greymon observed Cyberleomon and was reading his ki-level. He looks over towards the cloud of smoke and attempted to pick up the presence of Jax and to see if he were still alive.
Cyberleomon kept his eye out throughout his surroundings and looked to see if Jax was able to survive the devastating blast. And as soon as the smoke cleared, there was a figure hovering up in the air. Cyberleomon looked up to see who it was and not so surprisingly, it was Jax.
Jax looked down at Cyberleomon with several scratches on him but Cyberleomon kept a straight smile despite what had just happened.
"Nice shot, Leomon! Your stronger than I first give you credit for! But don't let all of that power go to your head! I'm still one step ahead of you as far as power goes!"
Cyberleomon stood there with a smirk on his face and preparing for his next attack on Jax. It was obvious that he wasn't going to give up just yet.
***************************************************************************************
Back at the apartment complex, Izzy was still looking over the blueprints and analyzing the structure of the artificial body. He was quite fascinated at how they were created and operated. He was hard at work, trying to create a device that would de-activate the artificials, somehow and someway.
"Wow, check this out, Tentomon."
"Did you get a new screensaver?"
"Even better. Look at the structure of the artificial's. They are much similar to a normal human's, with the exception of the organs. There are no signs of any organ in their structure. That's very obvious, because they aren't even living humans. But I wonder, if these things can even think like a normal human. Can they make choices of their own since they already destroyed Datamon? Yet they are so hell bent on assassinating Tai. Man, Datamon really used some advanced technology to create these things. Even my laptop is more out of date than these things."
"Well with that device that you have been babbling about, maybe we can use it to deactivate them and enable us to make sure that Virus doesn't have anything to absorb."
"Good thinking, Izzy," Mimi replied, But can I make a suggestion? How about we just get darn device working already so that we won't have to worry about Virus absorbing anything!"
"It won't be easy but I'll do what I can," Izzy replied.
"Well, waiting around isn't going to do Leomon any favors, he's out there and risking his life," Davis said.
"You guys convinced me enough," Izzy said as he began to go to work on building the device through the digital network that he uploaded on his computer.
With this program, he is able to take data from the Digital World and transfer it to the real world in order to create useful items that could be a real help for the group.
***************************************************************************************
Back on the island, Jax looked down at Cyberleomon as he was beginning to gain back some of his momentum. Just a while ago, he was being tossed aside with ease by the mighty mega. But now he was more than ready to meet head on with the great challenge.
"Hey Leomon! So, are you ready for some more?"
"Oh yeah. Now I can exploit the rest of my hidden powers upon you. So, are you ready?"
"Don't sing it. Bring it."
"Alright then."
Cyberleomon forms several energy balls and tosses them right at Jax. The artificial saw them coming right at him and he easily dodged them all with ease. Cyberleomon could her the artificial laughing at his attempts, but something was up on Leomon's mind.
"You call this an attack? Quit wasting your time! This isn't even going to hurt me! Your blasts are way out of proportion!"
Cyberleomon continued to fire away several more energy balls but he was unable to nail Jax on target. The other artificials watched on to see what the result of the fight would turn out to be.
"Hmmm. Leomon is not just shooting energy blasts. He has some sort of strategy up his mind," Black War Greymon thought. "Jax better watch out and not under-estimate Leomon's abilities."
Jax had seen enough as he flew right at Cyberleomon. He nails Cyberleomon and they both fly over towards the settling waters. Jax shot out several blasts in order to knock Cyberleomon out of commission and take advantage of the situation.
Both meet head on as they nailed each other in the face with fists. Both fighters go flying back and crashing down into the water. Cyberleomon finds himself in quite a predicament and flies out of the water. He holds out his hands and starts to form an energy blast. He plans on blasting Jax out of the water. Jax gets his composure back and starts to sense Leomon's ki rising. Jax shoots out a ki-beam and sends it flying right at Cyberleomon.
Cyberleomon sees it coming right towards him but he was able to maneuver to the side. Suddenly, Jax came out of nowhere and decks Cyberleomon right in the face with a fist and follows it up with a spinning kick to the side of the head. Cyberleomon retaliates with a head butt to Jax's face. Jax goes flying back with his nose starting to bust open with crimson blood.
"Ugh! This is getting nowhere! Leomon is just toying with him! Hey, let me take your place! I'll get this finished in an instant!" Sonja cried out impatiently.
"No way! I'm having a blast! I don't plan on losing this fight. Isn't that right, Leomon?"
Cyberleomon shoots out more ki-blasts and sends them right at Jax but he was able to maneuver away from each blast. It looks as though Jax just phases away from each blast with the greatest of ease. Cyberleomon wasn't even nailing Jax with the blasts and they are getting very sloppy as far as good aim was concerned.
"Pitiful! What the hell are you trying to do?! You can't even blast me! I'm much too fast for you, Leomon."
"Think again, bitch!"
Jax looks around him and sees nothing but a group of energy balls floating all around him. His eyes start to widen in shock and he couldn't believe it. Leomon had this planned out all along. He just created the energy balls just as a distraction in order to group them together for one huge blast.
"Yes! There is no escape for you artificial! This is where it ends for you my friend! Goodbye!"
With that said, Cyberleomon rises both of his hands and thrusts them downward as if he were controlling the energy balls. Then the ki-blasts all flew and closed in right at Jax as they all collided and shot him down. Then a huge explosion takes place as Cyberleomon flies away to take cover.
The other artificials were quite shocked, but even more shocked were the Digi-Destined. They saw the explosion take place from the far distance off and figured that Leomon was able to take down an artificial.
"Leomon. Lets just hope that blast was strong enough to destroy that artificial," Davis said in thought.
Suddenly a gust of tornado wind comes passing by and the Digi-Destined managed to take cover before they would have gotten blown away.
"That's it! That has got to be all," Veemon said, "Leomon just whooped that artificial's butt! At least I hope…"
As the smoke started to clear up back on the island, Sonja and Black War Greymon watched with disbelief as they couldn't believe that Leomon could even possess as much power as he did.
"That's it. We're screwed," Sonja said.
However, Black War Greymon just stood there and knew something was going to happen. He could just feel it without even making a bold prediction.
As the smoke cleared away, Cyberleomon looked on but then his smile turned to a gasp of disbelief at what he was seeing. When the last portions of the smoke cleared away, Jax was still hovering and without a single scratch on him. There was a shield barrier surrounding him and it looked as though he wasn't even affected at all whatsoever. Everything that Leomon had used for that last attack was now thrown out the window.
"Impressive light show, Leomon. But again, I've proven to be the more superior. So shall we continue this little game? Oh and did you just call me a bitch? You should look yourself in the mirror more often."
Cyberleomon still stood there with a shocked expression on his face and couldn't even mutter a single word.
"There that island on the other side. There's more than enough room to continue our fight. Lets go, if you presume to do this the hard way."
Jax and the artificials fly right from the original island and towards the larger, neighboring island just on the other side. Cyberleomon broke out of his shocked state and went to follow them.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, somewhere very far off from the islands, several groups of people were running away as two young men were left lying on the ground. Virus looked down upon them but soon he looked up as he felt a tremendous ki. He looks over towards the frightened men with a cruel smile on his face.
"Its your lucky day, boys. I shall spare you of your lives. I got a little date with some artificials that have kept me waiting for all this time. And yes, I can feel Leomon's energy signal! He's with them!"
Virus spreads out his wings and takes flight in the sky as he heads over towards the islands. He was getting quite anxious as the time to complete his task was drawing near.
"Leomon is with the artificials? Wonderful! This has been far better than I first expected! Soon those artificials will be mine and my first step to complete evolution shall be complete!"
Virus boosts his energy up in order to make it towards the islands a lot faster in hopes of getting towards the artificials on time.
***************************************************************************************
The artificials and Cyberleomon hover down onto the new island as round two prepares to start. Cyberleomon and Jax face off against one another as they prepare to go for another round of beating the living hell out of each other.
As Cyberleomon and Jax go for another round of non-stop action, little do they realize that Virus is on his way over to absorb his precious artificials? Can Cyberleomon finish off the artificials on time before Virus gets there?
