[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Virus Seeks Complete Evolution! Paildramon's Grand Arrival!
The standoff was taking place amongst one of the islands and something was going down. Just a while ago, a huge explosion had completely wiped out a small island, which forced Jax and Cyberleomon to move onto a neighboring island in order to resume their battle.
Sonja and Black War Greymon watched on as Jax and Cyberleomon were standing off and facing each other. A huge gust of wind passed by both fighters. Something was now going to go down and neither fighter look like they want to give up already.
Jax circled around Cyberleomon but the brave warrior was able to keep up with his movements and stood his ground. Jax took a step back and flew right at Cyberleomon. Cyberleomon turned to face him and easily blocks out a spinning kick with his elbow. Jax goes for another spinning kick using his other leg but Cyberleomon also blocked that out. Jax goes to punch at Cyberleomon but those punches were blocked out as well.
"Quit pussing out and get serious!"
"My pleasure!"
Cyberleomon delivers a devastating kick to the gut of Jax and sends him flying back. Jax manages to flip over and meet Cyberleomon head on with a head butt to the stomach. Cyberleomon goes staggering back while holding his stomach. Jax then knees Cyberleomon right in the chin and delivers a kick to the side of his head. Cyberleomon falls down but manages to flip right back up. Jax jumps up and delivers a flying elbow into Cyberleomon's chest, which easily stopped his momentum.
Jax flips up and grabs Cyberleomon by his tail. Cyberleomon wrenches back and then thrusts his head forward to nail Jax right in the face with a devastating headbutt. Cyberleomon grabs Jax by the throat and tosses him up into the air. Jax goes flying up as if he was a rag doll and Cyberleomon flew up in order to meet him head on. Jax saw him coming and shoots out several ki-blasts. Cyberleomon managed to maneuver away from each of the blasts. Jax quickly phases out and reappears at Cyberleomon's right side. Jax nails a dropkick to the ribs of Cyberleomon. The mighty mega goes flying down but he manages to stop himself from falling and had enough energy to shoot out a powerful ki-blast. Jax saw it coming and shoots out one of his own, which easily deflected the blast.
Jax looks around his surroundings and flies right at Cyberleomon. Cyberleomon goes to nail him head on but only hit air as Jax quickly phased out. Cyberleomon turned around and was met with a kick to the face. Cyberleomon goes staggering back, but then he retaliates with a spinning kick of his own. Jax goes flying back, and it allowed Cyberleomon to quickly phase out and reappear right behind Jax. Cyberleomon goes for his Shadow Beast King attack but Jax quickly maneuvered away and shoots out a small ki-blast. Cyberleomon was quick enough to dodge it but then was met with a punch out of nowhere. Jax grabs Cyberleomon and delivers several head butts to Cyberleomon. The force of each head butt sent Cyberleomon reeling but the last head butt easily sent him flying down into the ground.
Cyberleomon found himself laying on the ground and his body getting battered from the numerous attacks from Jax. Jax flies down and cracks a smile.
"Not bad, for a digital waste."
"Speak for yourself. You artificials still haven't been keeping up with digimon's ability to grow stronger after each battle."
"Well, so does that also include you as well?"
Cyberleomon only cracked a smirk on his face, which did not sit well for Jax. The artificial resumes the fight as he goes flying right at Cyberleomon and delivers a spinning kick. But this time, Cyberleomon was able to duck under and deliver a jump kick into the gut of the artificial. Jax goes flying up which allowed Cyberleomon to quickly phase out and reappear above Jax. Cyberleomon drops an elbow into Jax's gut and sends him flying down into the ground below.
Cyberleomon quickly phases down and towards Jax's fallen body. Cyberleomon goes for a punch onto his lifeless body but Jax was able to phase out just in time. Cyberleomon turns around and sees a fust coming right at his face, but he was unable to duck under. Another fist was being thrown from another direction. Again, Cyberleomon was able to twist to the side to avoid the shot.
Cyberleomon wrenches back and balls up his fist as it started to glow. Jax sees it coming and balls up his fist as well. Both fighter's fists meet on and the impact caused both of them to go flying back. Jax managed to stop himself from hitting a nearby boulder and flip up on top of the boulder. Cyberleomon lands on his feet and quickly gets into a fighting stance. Both seem to be catching their breath and trying to find a way to exploit each other's weaknesses and plan to finish the fight early.
Sonja was getting quite impatient as she stomped her foot on the ground.
"What are they doing? They're not even taking this seriously. They're toying with each other."
"No they're not," replied Black War Greymon, "Both are almost equal but its seems as though Leomon still has plenty of fight left in him. He and Jax are fighting with everything that they got. If only my fight with War Greymon would happen so, then I will show you two how a real fight should go down."
"Oh, I see."
Jax and Cyberleomon faced each other down and both of them were now going to plan out their next move in order to resume the fight. Both fighters looked pretty worn out but they would not give up just yet. They were just heating up and something was now going to go down. One of them will eventually give out and it could very well be Jax, or Leomon himself. The tide was turning to Leomon's side and he was gaining back some momentum as of now.
"I expect this fight to get much more intense. They are not about to give out just yet," Black War Greymon replied, "I think it would be wise just to let them resume the battle."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive. Jax should not under-estimate Leomon's abilities. This could go either way."
"Alright. Whatever you say."
Sonja was starting to worry over the fact that a fighter such as Leomon currently is giving Jax a run for his money, when it was just a couple of days ago that Jax easily man-handled the mighty warrior. Something was obviously different about Leomon but she couldn't put her finger on what it could be.
"Leomon must have gained some sort of energy boost. He wasn't this strong before," Jax thought. "I have to end this battle quick or my chances of gaining the victory will become very slim."
Cyberleomon got into a fighting position as he was gaining back his composure and gained more breathe. Jax was more than ready to go for the next round.
***************************************************************************************
Meanwhile, the other Digi-Destined were all waiting patiently as the digimon were beginning to pick up several ki-levels rising over towards the islands.
"What's going down so far, Veemon?" asked Davis.
"Close fight. Cyberleomon almost lost his footing but he is back in the game."
"TK. You think we should go and help him," asked Patamon.
"No. Leomon said it would be best that we all stay here, like he said. So let us respect his wishes," TK replied.
"Well. I don't know about you but I don't like sitting out when there's a big fight going on," Davis said.
"Well you're just going to have to sit around!" Yolei exclaimed.
"Or you could end up being swatted aside like a fly," Cody said.
"Leomon better not let this fight last this long because I will fear for the worst if he gets beaten," replied Mimi.
"She's right. We really don't know if Leomon is any stronger than those artificials," Michael said.
"So, its best that we hope and believe in Leomon's abilities," Sora said, "Or all could be lost."
Just then, the digimon started to pick up another huge ki heading towards the islands from another direction. They began to wonder who it belonged it. Veemon was to first to speak up.
"You guys. I feel another ki heading towards the islands. Oh man! This is not good!"
"What's wrong, Veemon?" Davis asked, "Is it one of the artificials?"
"No, worse. It's… Its Virus!"
"Yeah! I can feel his energy too," replied Patamon.
"He's heading towards the islands. He must have sensed Leomon's energy and could easily find the artificials there," Betamon said.
"Oh no! This is definitely not good," Mimi said.
"Now what are we supposed to do?" Davis asked desperately.
"Oh man. This is not good. This is situation has now turned for the worst," said Palmon.
**************************************************************************************
The digimon now had a right to worry because they were right, because Virus was indeed on his way over towards the islands.
Virus flies across the oceans using a boost of fast speed to get over long distances in a short period of time. He was desperate and would not let anything slow him down at this moment. His time could very well be at time. His destiny could be realized.
"What a grand finale! This shall be the day that I complete my full evolution. Those artificials shall be mine and the thought of it makes me tingle! Ha! Ha!"
Virus laughed manically as he flew across the ocean in hopes of getting towards the island as soon as possible. Nothing will slow him down and he doesn't plan on failing this mission whatsoever.
***************************************************************************************
Back at the secret training dimension in Azulongmon's territory, Kari and Gatomon sat around. They were hoping that Matt and Dimitri would have already completed their time training inside the chamber.
"How long has it been?" asked Kari.
"Like I said, almost a day and a half. I'm just about tired enough to take a catnap. Heh, look at your brother. He's already knocked out."
"Well, he's always the sleepy type when things start to bore him. Hey Agumon, why aren't you sleeping?"
"I'm focused on this approaching battle that we will be forced to take part in. I feel sleeping at a time like this isn't going to help any."
"So why are you letting Tai sleep?"
"It's his choice, not mine. He makes his own decisions. But I'm not just going to lie around. Gatomon, I would stay awake and start to pick up the other's ki-levels just in case something big goes down."
"Right. Well, since we can't sense the artificials, Leomon must still be fighting them."
"Yes, Leomon is taking on one of the artificials at this moment," replied Gennai, "But there's bad news along with it."
"What could be so wrong at this moment?" asked Kari.
"Virus is on his way over to the islands. If Leomon doesn't finish off the artificials, then all hope if lost and Virus will find them."
"No! We can't allow that to happen! Leomon has got to put a peddle to the metal and finish this," Agumon replied.
"Ugh! If only Matt and Dimitri had finished their digimion training with Gabumon and Patamon right about now," Gatomon hissed angrily.
"So you think that Leomon has a chance against this artificial?" asked Kari.
"I don't know. So far, they're still going at it and there's no telling who will come out of this alive," Agumon said, "I can't even guarantee a winner for this fight. We will just have to trust in Leomon's abilities and hope he can get the job done."
"C'mon Leomon. These artificials need to be shut down, once and for all! Do us a favor and make sure that Virus doesn't arrive to absorb them! Without us around, you're the only hope at this moment of time. Man, I just hate sitting around like this," Tai thought.
***************************************************************************************
Back at the apartment complex, at the home of Tai and Kari, Izzy walked out of the apartment with his laptop and a smile on his face.
"Hey guys! I got fantastic news! With some technology from the Digital World, I was able to create a deactivation device. This will disable the artificials with one push of a button."
"Great! We're going to need it! Can we get it now," asked Cody.
"It's going to need time to download. Remember not everything can be processed within a push of a button."
"Ugh. I just wish there wasn't a thing as downloading. Just the thought of it makes my head hurt," Davis said.
"Don't worry. This shouldn't take long, but I should warn you that my Internet connection maybe a little slow, so bear with me gang."
"Maybe I can help you out a bit," Ken said.
"Ditto here. I'll guide you through, Izzy," replied Yolei.
"Thanks. I'm really going to need a lot of help on this one. Huh? Prodigious! The downloading process is beginning!"
Yolei, Ken and Izzy sat around in order to observe the downloading process and were hoping for it to complete as soon as possible. Davis looked to be very desperate and running out of patience.
"Davis? You really want to go out there don't you?" asked Veemon.
"You bet! I hate sitting around and not doing anything! I'm the type that loves to go out and fight! You know what I mean?"
"I hear ya! So what do you have in mind?"
"I say we go out there now! I don't care how powerful those artificials really are! And you remember all of those times that I said that you and I should fuse together?"
"Yeah?"
"Well that time should come now! I'm sick of waiting and I want action! I don't want Leomon to die because of his bravery and his pride! Veemon, I say, together, we fight those artificials to the end and we will do whatever it takes to bring them down! Are you with me?!"
"You bet!"
"I said, are you with me?!"
"Yeah! You don't have to repeat!"
Just then, Davis looked at his D-3 and it began to glow a very bright color. A neon blue glow came out and started to form around both Davis and Veemon. They could feel each other's heartbeats and large surges of energy flowing through their bodies. It was as though they were receiving a secret power.
"Wow. I can hear and feel my own heart beating. Wait a second! I can also feel Veemon's. Oh man. This is so cool. I'll bet that this is how fusion feels like."
The other Digi-Destined took notice of this and gasped in shock.
"What's happening to him?" asked Cody.
"They're… They're reaching out to each other," said Hawkmon.
"They're in the digital fusion process! They're going to fuse!"
"No way! Davis and Veemon fuse now?" Sora asked with a shocked tone in her voice.
"Davis! Whoa! How does it feel?" asked Ken.
"It feels great. I feel much stronger than ever," Davis said, "So Veemon, are you ready to kick some artificial tail?"
"Time to kick some tail!"
"We're sending those artificials to hell where they belong!"
[Digimon Zero Two Jogress theme "Beat Hit!" plays]
As soon as he said that his D-3 flew up and a beam of energy showered over both himself and Veemon. Veemon felt his energy level increasing as he quickly evolved into Xveemon. Then Davis and Xveemon were encircling each other.
"Xveemon! Fusion Shinka!!"
Then both of them came together in a bright flash of light. As soon as the light vanished, a tall and armored figure stood in place of them. The creature had some sort of green armor, a red helmet, and blue legs. Two gun blasters came popping out from each side. The figure then got into a fighting stance and was more than happy to introduce himself.
"Paildramon!!!"
The Digi-Destined all looked on in total shock and amazement. The digimon even felt his energy level and it has increased tremendously. Paildramon now had a mixture of both Davis' voice and Xveemon's voice.
"Whoa! Who is that digimon?" asked Cody.
"That's Paildramon!" Armadillomon said.
[Paildramon. Fusion Ultimate-Level. Data Type. Special Technique: Desperado Blaster]
"Yes. We are Paildramon. We are an ultimate-level digimon. As Davis and Xveemon, we fused to become Paildramon. Our main attack is the powerful Desperado Blaster."
"This is what we need! Maybe Paildramon will lend a hand to Leomon! Boy aren't the artificials going to get a big kick out of this," TK said.
"Wait! Leomon specifically said that no one shall interfere," Sora said.
"I'm sorry, Sora. But we have to do this! Its our destiny and we too are Digi-Destined," Paildramon said, "Now if you will excuse us, we're going to kick some artificial ass!"
With that said, Paildramon flies up into the air and heads over towards the direction to the islands. The Digi-Destined watched in awe as they had just witnessed a brand new fusion amongst the new Digi-Destined.
"Davis was able to fuse with Veemon. So which one of us could be next to reach that level of power?" asked Ken.
"It could be us, Ken," said Wormmon.
"Or us," Yolei said to Hawkmon.
"That would really make my day! I'm looking forward to that," Hawkmon replied.
"How about us, Cody?" Armadillomon asked.
"You bet! Anyone of us could be next."
"Even us, TK."
"Yep. That goes for us too, Patamon. But I wonder if Paildramon will really be enough to stop the artificials."
"We'll just have to believe in Paildramon's instincts. His power seems higher than that of Cyberleomon's, even for an ultimate-level," Biyomon said.
"Just consider Paildramon a mega-ultimate, somewhere in the level between the two different evolution lines," Tentomon said, "Ugh, even all of this evolution makes my head all spinney."
"Well, Davis. It's really up to you and Veemon. Lets just hope that Paildramon lives up to its hype,"Izzy thought.
["Beat Hit" ends]
***************************************************************************************
Paildramon was near the islands and he kept his focus on the battle by picking up the ki of Leomon.
"Davis. We're going to have to hurry. Leomon isn't going to last much longer."
"I know. Man, the only thing I hate about this is people talking through my mind. Oh well, I'll get used to it."
**************************************************************************************
Back on the island, the battle continued on between Jax and Cyberleomon. Jax was shown being tossed into the ground by Cyberleomon. Jax managed to get to his feet and nails Cyberleomon with a cross right hook to Cyberleomon's face. The mighty warrior goes flying back and crashing through a nearby cliff.
Jax stood there while catching his breathe and started to feel vibrations underneath the ground. Suddenly, two hands popped out and grabbed Jax. The ground started to crumble as Cyberleomon came popping out and pulling Jax down underneath the ground.
Cyberleomon comes flying out with Jax in his grasp. Jax was trying to struggle in order to break free but Cyberleomon held onto him as tightly as possible. Cyberleomon grabs Jax by his hair and tosses him down into the ground. Jax's fall caused the ground around him to cave under and leave a large crater. Cyberleomon shoots down several powerful ki-blasts right at Jax in order to keep him down at the moment.
Cyberleomon goes flying down and checked to see if he was able to get his adversary with those ki-blasts. But even those were not enough as he watched the smoke clear and there wasn't a trace of Jax anywhere. Suddenly, Cyberleomon felt something phase right behind him. He turned around and ducked under from a punch being delivered by Jax. Cyberleomon takes advantage and executes an uppercut to Jax's ribs. Jax goes flying back as he hit the ground.
Cyberleomon slowly walks up towards him and holds out his hand as he prepares to blast away Jax. But that wasn't to be as Jax quickly phased out and reappeared right behind Cyberleomon. Jax nails a spinning kick followed by a head butt into Cyberleomon's gut. The mighty warrior felt the impact of the two blows and caused him to cough out a load of blood. Then Jax grabs Cyberleomon and goes to toss him down into the ground but Cyberleomon was able to reverse and toss Jax down into the ground.
Cyberleomon looked down at Jax and smiled. Jax slowly rose to his feet and was prepared to fight once again. Cyberleomon flies right at Jax and throws in several rapid punches and kicks at the artificial. Jax was able to keep up with Cyberleomon's faster pace. Jax took advantage as he kneed Cyberleomon in the face and delivers a mighty elbow smash into his gut. Cyberleomon goes flying back and crashing through a nearby wall.
Jax walks over towards the fallen rubble that completely covered Cyberleomon and pointed his finger towards it. He then shoots out a tiny beam from his finger and blew up the rubble in the process. Jax smiled as he realized that he had won this little fight.
"Well it's about time. Now we can all go and resume our search for Taichi," Sonja said, "I told you that Jax was just wasting our time."
"No. Its not over," Black War Greymon replied, "If you don't believe me, take a look for yourself."
Indeed, Black War Greymon was correct and Sonja looked towards the battlefield. The ground started to shake once again and a beam quickly penetrated from the ground. Then the beam came out of nowhere and managed to cause a momentary distraction for Jax. Then out of nowhere, Cyberleomon delivers a heavy blow after delivering a huge elbow shot to the back of Jax's head. Jax goes screaming out in tremendous agony as he went flying back.
Jax flew back but he managed to land on his feet. Cyberleomon stood there facing him and catching his breath.
"Ha. Not bad for an early, older model type."
"What?! I don't know what the hell you are talking about, Leomon. I am the ultimate artificial! There are no improved and advanced models after me!"
Just then, Jax noticed that Cyberleomon was being calm for some apparent reason and he started to realize that Leomon was just playing some sort of mind games.
"Heh. Yes. I know what you're trying to do. You're playing with my mind. Yes, so that way you can easily gain back your energy and find a way to defeat me. I know you very well, Leomon. This fight has gotten a lot more interesting. I am learning a lot from you, Leomon."
Just then, Cyberleomon turned to the side and looked out towards a cliff at the right side of him. His eyes started to widen in shock and fear at what he was seeing. And he had a right to be shocked, because Virus was standing on top of the cliff! Virus has arrived!
"Delightful. What a moment this has turned out to be. This marks as the actually day that I reach my full evolution once and for all!"
Virus looks down at the artificials and towards Cyberleomon, who was just as shocked as ever. Virus could easily sense Leomon's fears, which easily brought a smile on his face.
"Hello, Leomon. You do remember me, do you? I really like to thank you for bringing Jax and Sonja over. That way I can easily take advantage of this situation and absorb the artificials. You shall be the first to witness my full evolution! Ha! Ha!"
Virus stood as ground as he now prepared to make his next move to complete his first step which would lead into his full evolution of his whole design. He would now realize his goal but has to overcome Cyberleomon in order to do so.
The artificials looked at Virus and didn't know what to make of him. It was as though that they couldn't even recognize him. In fact, they don't even know who Virus was and they have no idea of what his motives really are! This certainly hasn't been going the Digi-Destined's way after all.
***************************************************************************************
Paildramon was still on his way over towards the islands and he could easily sense the dark ki coming from the islands.
"Oh no! This can't be good! Davis! I can sense Virus' energy level! We have to get there as soon as possible! Leomon will need our help after all!"
"Then lets get a move on Paildramon!"
"We'll get there in no time," Paildramon said as he boosted his speed and flew across the oceans in order to make it over towards the islands in no time.
***************************************************************************************
Back on the island, a showdown was now taking place but this time it wasn't between Jax and Cyberleomon. Now they were the ones who were being looked upon by none other than Virus himself.
The evil artificial has managed to make it to the island and surprised the hell out of Cyberleomon. Cyberleomon could only look on with total shock on his face at what he was seeing. The artificials didn't seem to show any kinds of fear, since they had no idea of who Virus is and what his intentions are.
Virus looks over towards Cyberleomon with a smirk on his face.
"Cyberleomon. Well. Well. If it isn't you. I see that you brought the artificials for me. How gracious of you. I'll have to return the favor to you later."
Virus then turns around and faces the other artificials and could easily recognize them since his program has allowed identifying them through his instincts.
"Hmmm. These artificials look so familiar. It's if as I have seen them before. Yes. Artificial model-Jax. Not to mention, Artificial model-Sonja."
But then he just noticed Black War Greymon and was quite surprised to see him. He hasn't seen a Black War Greymon model and was beginning to wonder how Datamon managed to create such an advanced artificial life form.
"Hmm. Well, who is this one? He looks like War Greymon, but he's dark and he too is an artificial. Oh well, he isn't the one that I'm looking for. Sonja and Jax are much more important to me at this very moment."
Cyberleomon turned over towards the artificials and noticed that they weren't even getting scared. He wondered why they were so calm at the moment; maybe they know something that he doesn't even realize.
***************************************************************************************
The digimon were now starting to sorry and they could easily detect Virus' evil energy coming from the islands. Patamon flew up and gasped.
"Patamon, what is it?" asked TK.
"Virus. He's on the islands! I think he found the artificials!"
"No! One of us has to go out there now!" Cody exclaimed.
"Now hold on! Paildramon is heading towards that island as we speak and I think he will be able to help Cyberleomon fend off all three artificials not to mention Virus," Sora said.
"Well you're making it sound like that its easy," Mimi said, "Speak for yourself. Its three powerful artificials and a mutant hell bent on absorbing them."
"She's right. One of us must go out and help Leomon, not to mention Paildramon," Michael said.
"I say we stay here until drastic measures calls for drastic needs," replied Sora, "I'm not going to afford losing any of you."
The group all groaned at the fact that they aren't able to do anything to help Paildramon and Leomon. They were just sitting ducks and that just isn't their motive.
Meanwhile, Izzy, Yolei and Ken were still hard at work over the device, and the downloading process was still nearing the half point. It will take some more time for it to become complete.
"Uh, if only this thing went a little faster,"Yolei said to herself.
"I just hope that Paildramon will be more than enough to lend Leomon a hand. Time is indeed running out. If only I could remember how to create devices. As the Kaiser, I could build dark rings and dark towers using my base, but now I've lost memory of building such advanced items. I don't want to become useless. The others need me and I will make sure that one of us will fuse with our digimon. Davis is right about one thing, we either take action and stop the evil forces or we simply just give up and let evil take over. Well, I was overtaken by evil once and I won't allow it to happen again! I will fight with my friends to the end!"
They then resumed with their work over the device, as the downloading process was still halfway through full completion.
**************************************************************************************
Virus looked over his scared victims with a smile on his face. The artificials managed to break out of their shocked states, as Jax was the first to speak up.
"Hey! What the hell is that thing?!"
Cyberleomon gasped at what Jax had just said. Jax's statement had Cyberleomon stunned. Jax doesn't even know who Virus was and what his motives were.
"He doesn't know Virus! I can't believe this! The artificials don't even know who Virus is!"
"Well, I think I should be the one to introduce myself to you artificials. For I have come to seek for your energy. You will soon learn of what I am capable of."
With that said, Virus jumps off the small cliff side and lands on his feet. He stood up as he turned to face Cyberleomon and the three artificials. Cyberleomon got into a fighting stance in order to attack the evil artificial head on. Virus just simply stood there and a dark glow began to form all over his body. He felt a black aura forming and let out a blood-curling scream. He was now beginning to maximize his hidden powers.
Cyberleomon stood frozen in shock and he felt the tremendous energy coming from Virus himself. His ki-level has now reached new heights and is even higher than the last time Cyberleomon fought the monster. The ground around Virus was quickly beginning to shatter and the energy field that was forming around him was now getting bigger and bigger.
Cyberleomon took several steps back and watched as the barrier started to grow even bigger and he felt Virus releasing more of his energy. The ki-energy that was being released contained of the lost souls that were all absorbed by Virus. These were all Virus' victims and this made Cyberleomon more than just scared. But flat out, terrified. He has never felt such a horrifying power as Virus'.
Virus quickly powered down and golden aura started to form around him. His energy has now been rejuvenated and he was now ready to fight.
Cyberleomon stood there frozen as stiff in total shock. Virus hovered over towards Cyberleomon and it looked like he was going to attack but he simply passed right by Cyberleomon and stopped right behind him. Virus turned to face Cyberleomon.
"Ah, what's wrong? Is my power too frightening for you to withstand? Now you realize the full potential of my powers. Every victim that I absorbed now has a place and they are all apart of me. They will now serve a purpose for me."
Virus walks over towards the artificials as he let out a low cackle. Cyberleomon turned around and growled angrily towards Virus.
"Apart of you?! Those souls serve no purpose for you! You stole them by absorbing and killing innocent people!"
"What stole them? Fool! They are apart of me now! They will serve a purpose, as they will help me achieve my goal of reaching ultimate evolution. Just admit it, you are no match for me now. You shall see the full potential of my artificial design. But first, I got a little business to take care of. Artiticial Jax, come to me."
Jax stood his ground and he quickly got into a fighting stance. He has no idea of who Virus is but he knows when there's trouble. He wasn't going to let Virus intimidate him. But would he have enough power to fight back even Virus?
**************************************************************************************
Paildramon was getting closer towards the islands and he suddenly felt a dark presence amongst the islands.
"Davis! I can sense Virus! He already beat us to the artificials! We have to get there as soon as possible!"
"Well, we're almost there. Just use your speed to help us reach the long distance. Hopefully, Leomon didn't begin fighting him, because he might not even stand a chance."
"Right, and not to mention that the artificials could also be lending a hand to Virus. We can't afford to lose Leomon! Lets go!"
Paildramon boosted up his speed as he flew across the oceans in hopes of getting to Leomon and stopping Virus as soon as possible.

Gennai felt the dark energy level and turned to face Agumon. Agumon nodded to him and he looked over to Kari and Gatomon.
"I can feel Virus' energy. He's about to absorb the artificials! Leomon has to do what he can to stop him! But I can also sense another very strong ki. It feels like Xveemon and somebody with him has… My god! They've fused to become Paildramon!" Gennai exclaimed.
"Davis and Xveemon fused! Whoa! Will even Paildramon be enough to help Leomon?" asked Gatomon, "According to his, he's only at the ultimate level."
"We can't doubt Paildramon's abilities. We have yet to see him in action," Agumon replied.
"I just hope Matt and Dimitri are finished because we're really running out of time," Kari said.
"C'mon Matt! Dimitri! When are you two going to get done? There's not really anymore time left! Its down to a life or death situation here,"Tai said to himself impatiently,"Leomon, just hold him off for a little while longer."
***************************************************************************************
Jax stood his ground and he takes a fighting stance. He watched as Virus was slowly approaching him. Virus stopped and his tail started to rise up. A smirk formed across the face of Jax and he was now becoming quite overconfident.
"Hmph! So what are you supposed to be? You're nothing more than some sideshow freak looking for a day job. I suggest you leave now and let us continue this fight."
Virus stood there calmly and could only smile over the fact that he is face to face with none other than Jax himself. This was the moment he was been waiting for. He was counting on absorbing him first and now this was his chance. Cyberleomon took notice of this and called out towards Jax.
"Jax! That monster is there to get you! He's going to absorb you if you don't get away from here! Move it! Move it!"
"What?!"
As soon as he said that, Virus quickly lashed out his tail in a speed of light and attempted to strike Jax as if he were a helpless prey with his arms cut off. Jax managed to maneuver away from each tail swipe and stinger stab.
"What the hell are you trying to do?!"
Virus takes advantage of the situation and delivers a knee shot into Jax's abdomen. Virus grabs the artificials and arm drags him down to the ground. Jax looked up to see Virus' spiked tail looming over him. Virus was now about to strike Jax like a scorpion about to stab his prey. But as soon as he could even make an attempt in absorbing him, a swarm of energy blasts came out of nowhere.
"Desperado Blaster!!"
Virus is shot by numerous of blasts from out of nowhere. Cyberleomon and the artificials all looked up. To their surprise, they could see Paildramon hovering from above and with his guns started to release smoke after shooting out powerful shoots.
"Who is that?" asked Sonja.
"Could it be? Another fused digimon?" Cyberleomon wondered.
"It is Daisuke and Xveemon. They managed to perform the fusion technique to become this new warrior. They are now Paildramon," Black War Greymon said.
"And he saved my life? But… Why? At time, we were whooping the hell out of Xveemon!" Jax said.
"Times have changed now, Jax. So this time we have to become allies in this situation," Cyberleomon said.
"And what makes you think that's going to ever happen?" Jax asked angrily.
"Would you rather have this creep absorb you and become the most powerful being in two worlds?" asked Paildramon as he quickly landed on the ground.
"Just who is this… This thing? He's sick?" Jax asked in disgust.
"His name is Virus. Datamon created him, and he was sent out to absorb you and Sonja in order to complete his full evolution. We must keep him from absorbing you," Cyberleomon said.
"Ugh. What a disgusting creature," Sonja retorted.
"Please take this as an offer to you Jax and Sonja. I am offering a truce for you two to become apart of me. Together, we shall become one unstoppable force. So what do you say? Let us fulfill Datamon's dream of the destruction of two worlds."
"Thanks for the offer but I'm not interested. You see, I am a far more advanced model than you Virus. I don't you or your help," Jax said, "This is who I am and I want to remain it that way!"
"It really doesn't matter what you think. You are apart of me and I shall absorb you."
"Heh. Why don't you try me out, big guy?!"
"Jax! I would not fight him," Black War Greymon said, "This thing has a tremendous ki. If you fight him, there is a great chance that you will easily be swept aside and become absorbed. Do not risk it."
"Well that's your opinion. But I don't plan on losing to a thing like this anytime soon! Ok, Virus! Whenever you are ready!"
Jax took a fighting position, as does Virus. Jax starts it off as he flies right at Virus and goes for a right hook, but Virus quickly was able to twist to the side. Jax gasped in shock and felt a tremendous force ram into his chest. Jax goes staggering back while grasping his injured chest. Virus takes advantage and nails Jax with an uppercut that easily sends the artificial flying up.
Virus goes flying up as well but he easily phased right above Jax and deliver an elbow shot into the artificial's chest. The impact caused him to go crashing down into the ground.
"We must stop him before he absorbs the artificial," Cyberleomon said, "Shadow of the Beast King!"
"Deperado Blaster!!"
The attacks managed to come together and they combined into one large energy blast. Virus turned around and the blast nailed him head on. A large explosion takes place as smoke started to form. Paildramon and Cyberleomon watch to see if Virus was able to withstand the attack and they were surprised when Virus came flying out without a single scathe.
"No way!" Paildramon exclaimed, "That attack was perfectly executed!"
"I guess, you aren't the only one who thought so as well," said Cyberleomon.
"Fools! When I reach my full evolution, your attacks will be nothing more than gnat bites to me! So I suggest you to come up with another plan of attack!"
"Any bright ideas, Paildramon?"
"None at the moment but I say we keep on attacking!"
"Whatever you say."
Virus goes flying right at the two fighters but Paildramon and Cyberleomon flew right back at him head on. Cyberleomon pulls out his sword and swipes away at Virus but the evil monster used his quick prowess to easily maneuver away from each sword swipe. Paildramon shoots out cables from his hands and grapples Virus along with them.
"No allow me."
Virus then shoots out the same cables from out of his back and grappled Paildramon right down to the ground.
"How about a taste of your own medicine?! Desperado Blaster!!"
Virus shoots out the same attack that Paildramon was just using and was shooting down Paildramon with tremendous ease.
"Davis! He's much stronger than we first thought! Its as if we were fighting our ourselves!"
"No kidding! This guy needs to come up with some original attacks!"
"Shadow Beast King!"
Cyberleomon thrusts his fist forward and watched as it nailed Virus right in the chest. The evil monster goes staggering back as he actually felt the attack.
"And now I shall finish this!"
Cyberleomon cups his hands together and started to power up. The ground around him started to shake and a ball of energy was forming in his hands.
"What's he doing?" asked Sonja, "He's concentrating on some sort of technique."
"Yes and he's going to use it against Virus! I suggest to take cover," Black War Greymon said.
Cyberleomon roared out angrily and the energy ball became bigger and bigger, then it eventually become a large and boulder-sized. Cyberleomon steps backwards and then thrusts his hands out towards Virus. Virus attempts to maneuver away but watches as the blast quickly engulfs him and a huge explosion takes place as a result.
Paildramon picks up Jax and goes to take cover from the flying debris that was being blown away. Black War Greymon shielded Sonja and slashed away at the flying debris.
Cyberleomon was quickly catching his breath as he looked upon the landscape just ahead of him. The blast was so strong that it felt a large crater and water filling up the hole. There was obviously nothing left of Virus. Cyberleomon sighed with relief and fell to his knees in order to regain his composure. He used almost all of his own energy for that one attack.
"Wow. What a powerful attack. That had to do that creature in," Sonja said, "There's no way that he could have survived that!"
"No. You're wrong," Black War Greymon said.
"Huh? Impossible!"
"Yes. He is still alive. He's not dead. That attack didn't do anything to him."
"No!"
Cyberleomon soon realized that as he started to shake in total shock. His eyes were widening. He couldn't believe that attack wasn't enough to put Virus away for good. Cyberleomon looked up ahead and began to sense Virus' dark ki. It was rising and as strong as ever.
Virus slowly rose out of the water with a smirk on his face. He hovers out of the water and right back onto dry land. Cyberleomon still could not believe it.
"That's impossible! I gave everything I had to build up that last attack! I shouldn't have made such a foolish mistake!"
"Not a good move on his part! Leave this to me," Paildramon said.
Paildramon goes flying right at Virus and starts hammering away at him, but Virus seems unaffected by any of Paildramon's head on attacks. They weren't even fazing Virus!
Cyberleomon went in to intervene and punch away at Virus but his punches were soon becoming very ineffective. Virus takes advantage as he nails chop blocks to the sides of Paildramon. This stunned him long enough for Virus to deliver a powerful punch right in his face. Paildramon goes flying back and right over towards Jax. Jax stood there in total shock and noticed that Virus was looking over towards him.
"Run, Jax! Get the hell out of here! ! Now!" exclaimed Cyberleomon.
But then Virus takes advantage of the situation and decks Cyberleomon right in the face with a right hand. Cyberleomon goes flying back and crashing down into the ground. Virus walks over towards the fallen digimon and picks him up. Jax looked on and couldn't even move a muscle; he is still in shock after what Virus had tried to do to him.
"Well, its been real, Leomon. You managed to put up a good fight. But all of your efforts proved nothing but a shameful waste. Now, it's time for you to die, Leomon. You will see nothing but darkness for the rest of your life… Goodbye."
With that said, Virus shoots out a powerful blast and watches as it goes through Cyberleomon's gut. Cyberleomon let out a horrifying and blood-curling roar as he felt the beam burn right through his gut and he instantly was dying from the large wound that Virus inflicted on him.
The artificials stood there in complete shock. Paildramon had just gotten up on his feet and he couldn't believe at what he saw.
"God dammit! No! We're too late!!"
***************************************************************************************
Agumon and Gatomon felt the depleting ki of Leomon as they soon realized that Virus has already done him in. Leomon now is obviously dying or already dead.
"No! Leomon! Virus got him," Gatomon exclaimed.
"No! Tai! We just lost Leomon!" Kari cried out.
"No! That bastard! Agumon! I can't wait to get my hands on this creep!"
"Leomon," said Gennai with a sad tone to his voice, "At least you made sure that the artificials weren't absorbed. But you risked your life. I wish that I were there to help but Paildramon beat me to it. Now its up to Paildramon but he's still no match for Virus! It's going to take a lot more than just him."
"That's why we should hurry up with this damn training! I should be out there to help them," Gatomon hissed angrily, "Kari. We're going to get me as strong as possible. I want to be the one that takes that creep down for good!"
"Agreed!"
"Azulongmon? Is there any hope for Leomon?" asked Agumon.
"I really hope so. Virus really damaged him but I hope and pray that he remains alive during this time of crisis. And it's really going to take more than just Paildramon to defeat this creature. This very well could be your most difficult task to accomplish as Digi-Destined."
"And we're up for this new challenge! That's why when Matt and Dimitri leave that chamber, Kari and I will do what we can to push Agumon and Gatomon to new limits of the fusion power!"
"I'm with you big brother. We won't let Leomon's sacrifice be in vain!"
***************************************************************************************
Cyberleomon twitches in tremendous pain, which brought a delighted smile across the face of Virus. He quickly tosses Cyberleomon into the water and watched as his body started to sink down below.
"Well… Well… We're alone, Jax At last, the time has come. Now you shall be mine," Virus calmly says as he slowly goes walking over towards Jax.
Virus then turns to face Sonja and notices her frightened face.
"And you too, you little hot hellcat."
"No! Not as long as I'm still here!" Paildramon exclaimed.
"And how are you going to stop if I was able to swat you away like a fly? Ha. You got to be kidding me."
"As long as we're still breathing and on our two feet, then we shall fight you to the very end!"
"But will you live up to those promises? Can you even guarantee to protecting these artificials from my wrath?"
"We can't guarantee you anything but we will stop you no matter what!"
"Just try me then, Paildramon. You will soon realize the full depth of my power and you'll end up just like Leomon, a has been and obsolete."
Meanwhile, Black War Greymon stood there in the background with Sonja at his side as he slowly clenched his fists. It looked like he was about to go off but he obviously was having something in mind, but the question is what.
Virus has left quite an impact as he has taken the life of Leomon and tossed him aside. Can even Paildramon be enough to defeat this formidable foe? Or does Black War Greymon, the silent giant, have a few tricks up his sleeves?
