[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]

Silphymon's Sacrificial Static Force! Yamato and Dimitri Emerge!

Silphymon was still at the island as he was powering up his ki. He looks down at the hole that contained Virus and continued on firing away powerful blasts at the evil monster. Virus tried every attempt to fly out of the hole but every time he came out, a large blast came right at him and knocked him backwards.

Virus was getting quite frustrated and wanted to leave the hole so badly. He was missing out on absorbing Sonja when he had the chance. He let his guard down when he faced against Silphymon and now he has paid the price. Silphymon looks down and looks to make sure that Virus wasn't going to fly out to escape. But as soon as he thought so, Virus did come flying out with an enraged look on his face.

"I don't think so! Static Force!!"

Silphymon shoots out a dozen more energy blasts and sends them right at Virus. Even a powerful monster such as Virus, even in his second stage form, was unable to withstand an onslaught of powerful energy blasts from one single fusion digimon.

But it seems as though Silphymon was slowly starting to weaken out as a result of using so much energy in creating more blasts for his attacks. Silpymon's eyes were becoming glazed over and he was unable to focus his energy on creating more of his Static Forces. He was starting to breathe heavily and seemed to be out of breath for some reason.

"Silphymon! We can't give this up! We have to stay focused and keep our mindset on Virus! We have to make sure that the two artificials get the hell off of the island!"

Silphymon turned to face the two artificials and couldn't believe to see that they were still standing there while observing the battle.

"You two better get out of here! We thought we told you to move it! We can barely hold him off any longer, our energy supply is depleting. You know very well that Virus will get to you, Sonja! You better move it!"

"He's right. Lets go, Black War Greymon. Are you up for a little flying at least?"

"Yes. I have more than enough of the last remainder of my energy to fly out of here. Hold onto me."

Sonja latched herself onto Black War Greymon and he slowly started to rise up into the air. Black War Greymon struggled to concrete to keep his balance but he was able to keep his focus intact.

"Great, now lets get out of here."

Black War Greymon slowly heads off towards the oceans with Sonja around his arms. They set off to find another island to locate and to hide away in case Virus decides to find them once again.

Silphymon turns his attention back onto the battle and sees that Virus has already flown right out of the hole. Silphymon releases another energy blast and sends it right for Virus. The blast nails Virus and sends him flying back.

"Static Force!!"

Another blast came hurtling out from Silphymon's hands and nailed Virus with a direct target hit. Virus goes flying back and starts to lose some of his momentum. Virus tries again to fly right out and try to pursue the artificials. But he had to avoid being stopped by another one of Silphymon's blasts. Silphymon saw him coming out and formed an energy ball in his hands.

"Static Force!!!"

Silphymon thrusts his hands forward. He releases another energy blast from the attack, which was sent right at Virus. Virus goes flying back down into the mammoth-sized hole and again he was losing his momentum that he once had before Silphymon was able to stop him. However, all of the energy being wasted was taking a toll on Silphymon's body. He was slowly starting to lose it.

"Oh man. I've never felt so weak in my life. We've used too much energy just to stall some time. I just hope we have more than enough to keep this creep at bay. Oh, here I go again and had to open my big mouth. Now I'm going to have to pay for my mistakes…"

"No, Yolei. We're going to do the best that we can to stall some time, no matter how much energy we lose. Its better than having Virus finding Sonja and absorbing her into his being!"

"Right. Let us not give up. We can do this!"

Silphymon looks back down at the hole and makes sure that Virus isn't on planning on flying out again. But he will stay there as long as Virus is ready to give out, or until he gives out eventually.

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

Meanwhile, back at the apartment complex, the other Digi-Destined were all getting anxious as they wondered how the whole situation has been taking place thus far.

"Things aren't looking good for Yolei and Aquillaimon," said Palmon.

"Huh? What's wrong, Palmon?"

"Its Silphymon. He's been doing quite well and has been keeping Virus distracted at the moment but he's putting too much energy in creating those Static Force attacks. If they keep it up, they're going to lose it and run out of energy," Palmon replied.

"Is this true, Biyomon?" asked Sora.

"Yes. Yolei insisted on this. We tried to stop her."

"You can try everything but you all can't stop her. She won't listen, not even to me," Ken said, "She was looking forward in fusing with Hawkmon, so that is why she went off to stop Virus. I guess she wants to prove that she's not just a second-rate Digi-Destined who just sits back while all of the action is taking place elsewhere. But in this case, its not looking good for her."

"So, what do you suggest we do now, Ken?" asked Wormmon.

"What could we do? We're not as strong as any of the fusion digimon. Maybe we can use, Wormmon. But would our combined even be enough to stop Virus. Because get this, Paildramon was having difficulty in fighting Virus right?"

"Yes and Silphymon wouldn't be faring well if he isn't relying too much on his energy," Wormmon said.

"So, what? We just stay here and let this happen to him?" asked Joe.

"Yeah, we might as well. She wanted this and now she has to take care of business herself. Oh well, I guess Virus could knock her upside the head and bring her back to reality," Gomamon remarked.

"Gomamon!" Joe exclaimed.

"What? I'm just proving a point."

"But, he maybe right," replied Cody, "Hopefully she and Hawkmon realize what they're doing isn't the way to go. But I just hope she pulls through with this."

"And Hawkmon hasn't been in a fusion state like this before. It could be disastrous for him if he were to use this amount of energy during his first fusion battle," Armadillomon explained.

"Well. Lets all just hope that Silphymon will pull through with this," Ken said, "Yolei is apart of our team and we will support her in anyway we can."

Wormmon looked up at Ken and noticed him with a sad look on his face. Ken has gotten really close to Yolei and they have been talking to each other for quite a while now. They never seem to see each other eye to eye during the first adventures four years ago, but now they were best friends. Ken just couldn't risk on losing Yolei to a heartless monster who was hell bent on destroying anything in his path.

"Yolei. Hawkmon. You two better hang in there. We're counting on you. If only Wormmon and I were able to fuse, we would be the ones out there assisting you. You don't have to fight these battles alone, Yolei. I hope you realize that," Ken said to himself.

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

Elsewhere, Paildramon was on his way over towards Odaiba as he prepared to move on to retrieve the device that Izzy was creating.

"Hopefully that device program has been fully downloaded by now," Paildramon said, "We're going to need it if we hope to destroy Virus."

"No kidding. Maybe we should have stayed to help Silphymon."

"Nah. So far, he's been doing quite well. But I fear that he maybe losing more energy after delivering those big blasts. We really need to hurry on over to get that device."

"Right and who knows better to raise the bar up and race this joint!"

"Ok, I don't know what you meant but I know the meaning of raising the bar! Hang on tight!"

With that said, Paildramon boosted his speed energy and quickly flew over the oceans, in order to get past the long distance towards Odaiba.

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

Back at the training grounds in the land of Azulongmon, Tai and Kari all sat patiently but soon their patience was wearing thin as the time was passing by. X, Agumon and Gatomon were reading Silphymon's ki and their expressions were pretty much explainable. They were worried and rightfully so, as far as Silphymon's condition was concerned.

"How is he faring?" asked Kari.

"Not good. Silphymon is using the majority of his energy," replied Azulongmon, "At this rate, he will give out soon."

"No! If only they would have stayed behind as they should have," Agumon growled angrily.

"I know what you mean. They should get out of there now and stop this foolishness. They're just going to get themselves killed," Tai said.

"Man. I wish we had more time. Matt and Dimitri need to hurry up. Time is wasting," said Kari.

"Silphymon's ki is quickly diminishing. He's not going to last much longer than this," replied X.

"Ugh. Matt! Dimitri! What the hell are you two doing in there? Virus is gaining an upper hand and we just lost Leomon. We can't afford to lose Silphymon! C'mon, this just isn't happening to us! Not now," Tai said to himself angrily.

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

Meanwhile, back at the battle on the island, Silphymon is starting to lose it and he slowly starts to lose his breath. His ki was depleting and he could just give out at any given time. All of the energy being wasted for the last couple of attacks was taking a toll on his body.

"I've never felt this weak before. But we have to keep going! We're here to stop Virus and that's what we plan on doing," Yolei said in Silphymon's thoughts.

"Come on out, big guy! I got another present for you coming along the way!"

Just then, Virus decided to take a chance and fly right on out of the hole and attempt to make a getaway to catching up to the artificials. But Silphymon soon stopped him once again as he shoots out yet another blast.

"Static Force!!"

But this time, the blast was much larger and was able to knock Virus away. The evil monster goes flying back and into the hole below in which he would be temporarily immobilized at the moment of time. But it wouldn't last long. Silphymon looks down and sighs a relief. Sweat was coming down his face and his breathe was becoming much more shallow.

"We did it. I think we got him… But we really… need… to… rest…"

As soon as he said that, Silphymon felt his entire body give out on him as he fully loses his consciousness. He falls down and loses his senses. Yes, now Silphymon has suffered the consequences. Yolei felt her body also give out on her.

"I'm sorry you guys… But… we tried… our best… Ken… I'm… sorry…"

Silphymon landed hard on the ground. He quickly loses consciousness and doesn't even make a single movement of muscle. His life and energy sources have now been depleted as a result of this. Not looking good whatsoever for Silphymon.

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

Azulongmon quickly sensed Silphymon's ki and gasped. Agumon and Gatomon turned to face him.

"He's finally given out. I'm so sorry," Azulongmon said.

"It's true. Silphymon's ki has diminished," X replied.

"No! Silphymon! I really wish that you didn't have to go and stop him," Agumon said.

"Well there goes our game plan," Gatomon replied.

"No we can't afford to lose Yolei and Hawkmon," Kari said.

"I know! We're going to do something about it. Mark my words," replied Tai.

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

Silphymon lies on the ground motionless and all of his life force was quickly drained away after using many blasts. His body was very much worn out and he couldn't even move an inch of muscle.

As he lied there unconscious, a head came popping out from the deep hole and it was none other than Virus. Virus slowly hovered out of the hole and looked across the landscape. He saw no signs of the artificials, which infuriated him even more.

"Damn them! Sonja and Black War Greymon have all escaped sight!"

Virus turns around and looks over towards the fallen body of Silphymon. His frown made up for his angry emotions, and he wasn't pleased that somebody considered as a 'weakling' to him had stalled him from chasing after the artificials.

"All because of this meddling nuisance."

Virus flies right over towards Silphymon and hovers down towards his fallen body. The evil artificial looked down with a huge frown on his face, which was scary enough to send chills down the spines of many souls. Silphymon was moving just a bit but it wasn't enough for him to revive himself out of his unconscious state.

"You pitiful warrior. Did you really think that you were strong enough to hold me back? I can't believe that such a weakling had the ability to hold me back and to stop me from reaching my full evolution. But now, you shall pay."

With that said, Virus sends his boot right into the ribs of Silphymon and kicks him so hard, it sends him flying back across the landscape. Silphymon flipped over a couple of time before landing hard on his head. Silphymon lied there totally unconscious and he stood no chance in defending himself at this moment of time.

"I really can't believe that such a weakling held me back. Oh well, this world won't miss another weakling once I'm done with you."

Virus held out his hand and pointed it right over to the fallen body of Silphymon. An energy beam was forming in his hand and he was more than ready to wipe out Silphymon out of existence.

"Say goodbye, Miyako and Hawkmon…"

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

Tai and Agumon stood on their feet, as they couldn't take the pressure much longer. Agumon could sense Virus making his next move and was more than ready in taking him down.

"Are you ready to kick some tail?" asked Tai.

"You bet! I'm not going to stand here and let this action take place! Its time to digivolve!"

Tai's digivice and the power from his crest of courage within his heart all began to power up. This was more than enough energy for Agumon to reach into his true mega form.

"Agumon warp shinka!!"

The little dinosaur by passed both his champion and ultimate leveled forms as a huge beam of light shot his body. Then, in his place, stood a cyborg-like warrior with advanced claws and armor.

"War Greymon!!"

"Alright, War Greymon! Lead the way!"

"I can pick up their energy signals! Hold on tight!"

Tai and War Greymon placed their fingers on their foreheads as their bodies slowly started to fade away. They were performing their newest technique, the Time Warp.

As they both vanished, Azulongmon watched, as he was quite impressed by their way they displayed the technique.

"Looks like you taught them that technique well," X said.

"It was not I," Azulongmon replied, "But it does come in handy."

"Those two better be careful. Virus is a ravening lunatic," X stated promptly.

"Hopefully he makes it there in time," Kari said, "We can't afford in losing anymore friends."

"Don't worry. I'm sure they can handle Virus. Just believe in them," replied Gatomon.

"Yeah. You're right. No more worrying."

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

Virus smirked, as he was about to put the finishing touches and destroy Silphymon. But just as he was about to make his move, he gasped and saw none other than War Greymon and Tai standing next to the fallen Siphymon.

"What?! Its War Greymon and… Taichi!" Both looked up at Virus with angry looks on their faces. Virus forms a smirk across his face and he couldn't believe that he has the chance to finally meet Taichi in person for the first time ever. He was quite surprised to see the both of them and he lowers his hand down.

"Well, well. If it isn't Taichi, how gracious to finally meet you."

"Yeah, I'll bet. But I don't share the passion that I have for you."

"Well, is that so? Well, it's pretty obvious that you and War Greymon have come down to challenge me. I'm more than ready in finally killing you once and for all. So, what do you think of my new body?"

"Not impressed just yet. All you done was absorb an artificial and gotten yourself some new powers. But I'll admit, you're quite the fighter. But I don't plan on fighting you now. I really want to teach you a lesson once and for all, but we're not ready," Tai said.

"Then we'll make you pay, Virus! Your days of terrorizing both worlds will be over for good!" War Greymon exclaimed.

"Ha! Is that so? Well don't mind me if I laugh! You defeat me? How very unlikely. Do you really think you can carry out to that demand? I guess we shall see."

"You bet!"

"Tai. I feel some ki around here. And it's not coming from just Silphymon. But another being."

"Who?"

"It's… It's… Leomon!"

"Leomon?"

"What?!" Virus exclaimed, "But he's dead!"

"Hang in there, Leomon!" War Greymon exclaimed.

He flew right over towards the nearby ocean shores and saw Leomon's body lying there. He kneels next to Leomon and picks him up.

"Impossible! I've killed him! Grr, I shouldn't have been so careless," Virus said.

War Greymon places Leomon on his left shoulder and kneels next to Silphymon.

"Don't worry, guys. We're going to get you back to Azulongmon as soon as possible and we're going to get you on your feet in no time," Tai said.

"You bet," War Greymon replied.

"No, Taichi. You and War Greymon shall fuse into Omega X and fight me here and now!" Virus exclaimed.

Tai and War Greymon turned to see Virus flying right at them. Everything seems to be going in slow motion as Virus heads right over to where Tai and War Greymon are standing. They were ready to make their next move but they had another idea. Just as Virus was going to rise his fist and make his first attack, Tai and War Greymon quickly vanished out of nowhere along with Leomon and Silphymon.

Virus stood there in complete shock and punched nothing but air. His eyes widened and he couldn't believe that they had just disappeared out of nowhere and so quickly.

"Where did they go? Wow, that was some trick. I wonder how they learned to do that."

Virus flies over the landscape and surveyed the area in search for Tai and War Greymon. But there were no signs of them, and now he stopped his search. He was ready to move on with his mission.

"Well, that won't be the last time that they escape from me. Now it's time to proceed and continue my search for Sonja. I will reach my full evolution, even if it requires me in destroying this worthless planet."

Virus flies across the landscape and makes his way off of the island. He headed towards the oceans as he continues his search for the artificials, more specifically Sonja. He vowed to find her and absorb her into his being.

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

Back at Azulongmon's training grounds, Tai and War Greymon returned back with Silphymon and Leomon. Kari and Gatomon ran over towards them.

"Leomon is still alive?" asked Kari, "Oh thank god."

"Yes, but they will need to be revived by Azulongmon. Can you do that for us?" asked Tai.

"Yes, I will use one of my digi cores and it shall help revive them."

"Thank you, Azulongmon," said War Greymon.

"Man, they look pretty beat up really bad," said Gatomon.

"Well no kidding. They were almost pounded to death by Virus," Kari said, "So this is how he likes to inflict pain on other people? I can't wait to shut him down once and for all."

"We might still have that chance once we enter that training room," Gatomon said, "I promise you, we'll bring Virus down and make him pay for his crimes."

"We'll both make sure that he pays dearly for everything that he has caused upon our world," Tai said, "His sins won't be forgiven."

Kari nodded in agreement and turned to see Azulongmon shooting down a beam of holy energy from his digicores upon the fallen bodies of Silphymon and Leomon. This would help revive them and heal their major injuries.

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

Paildramon finally made it to Odaiba and he started flying towards the apartment complex.

"We're almost there, Davis. Now once we get that device, we'll be heading out to the islands once again and we'll shut down those artificials once and for all."

"Right, so that Virus won't have anything to absorb. I hope that device is completed by now," Davis replied.

As soon as Paildramon zipped by, a red-haired little girl with violet eyes watched him pass by. She was wearing a white t-shirt, a pair of jeans and red sneakers. The girl held a yellow fox doll around her arm and heard her name being called out.

"Rika! Where are you?"

"I'm over here! You can't believe what I thought I saw! Or maybe I was just imagining things…"

As they arrived at the apartment complex, Izzy and Tentomon were there to meet Paildramon on the outside with a small remote control in their hand.

"Great, so that must be the device?" asked Paildramon.

"Yes, we finally completed its downloading process just a few minutes ago. Boy it was pretty hectic sitting and waiting, but it finally has paid off," Izzy said.

"So is this the device that will be able to deactivate the artificials?" asked Paildramon.

"Yeah but you have to get into a close range in order for it to work," Izzy said.

"I try telling him that is complete suicide but would he listen to me? No," Tentomon bragged.

"Don't listen to him. He's gone a little cuckoo for not being able to participate in anything physical. He's been bored lately," Izzy said.

"Well anything is better than sitting around and making me lose my mind."

"Alright. We'll take your advice into consideration."

"Paildramon? Any word on Yolei and Hawkmon?" Ken asked.

"No. But we sensed that their energy signal quickly depleted during the battle," Paildramon replied, "We fear the worst for Silphymon."

"So they're done for?" Ken asked.

"Not exactly. Because we just picked up another ki that had arrived on the island. We believe it was War Greymon. We also felt Leomon's ki. Its safe to say that War Greymon was able to get those two out of harm's way and has taken them to wherever they are training at."

"Well at least we know where they are at," Ken said, "I'm just relieved to know that they are fine."

"Don't worry, we got this under control," Paildramon said, "But we could use your help, Ken. You want to come along?"

"Yes. I rather get myself involved and get my hands dirty rather than wait around," Ken said, "What do you say Wormmon?"

"I'm all up for it! Lets do it!"

Ken's D-3 glowed and a shroud of light surrounded Wormmon. He was now ready to digivolve into his champion leveled form.

"Wormmon shinka! Stingmon!"

Stingmon picks up Ken and goes flying up in order to quickly head towards the islands as soon as possible. Paildramon went ahead and followed them towards the islands. Izzy and Tentomon watched on and had hoped for them to actually succeed and use the remote control device to their advantage.

"Lets just hope Davis knows how to handle that device. The fate of two worlds rests on his hands at the moment," Izzy said to himself,"Virus can not be allowed to reach his full evolution."

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

Elsewhere, Virus is flying across the oceans while he proceeded on his search for the artificials. He was getting quite impatient and was in no mood for these little hide and seek games.

"Damn! If only I had taken care of that weakling then I wouldn't have this kind of problem. I should have absorbed Sonja when I had the chance! No matter, I will find them!"

Just as Virus was searching, the artificials were laying hidden on a small forest island where Virus couldn't easily locate them. Black War Greymon had chosen this spot to avoid being seen from any outsider such as Virus.

"This is a pretty good hiding spot you found for us," Sonja said, "But are you able to get back into battle?"

"Doubtful, my circuitry has been severely damaged from the last attack Virus inflicted on me… But if I had any chance, then I would be torn to shreds. Virus is that powerful now…"

"Well that just sucks. We just stay here and hid like scared kittens?" asked Sonja.

"Yes, to ensure your safety and to prevent Virus from absorbing. Even you alone are no match for him… Ugh, its best that you stay here."

"If only I had enough power to defeat. Oh, Jax. I can't believe you're not with us anymore. We had made it so far in taking this world as our own little playground."

"Hopefully this is a good hiding post. No signs of Virus anywhere. His ki is from a long distance away from here. Lets hope that it remains that way," Black War Greymon thought to himself.

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

Back at Azulongmon's training grounds, Leomon and Hawkmon were now back on their feet. Yolei was also revived after Silphymon had de-evolved.

"Man, you guys look better than ever," Kari said, "Azulongmon's power must have been very helpful. How does it feel?"

"I feel much better. My ki energy has been refilled," Leomon said.

"You almost sacred us to death Yolei. You and Hawkmon had given everything that you had against Virus," said Agumon.

"It was a very honorable move Yolei," Leomon said, "But it wasn't enough. It's going to take more than just the power of fusion alone to win the game. Just think about it. Not one of us stands a chance against him in a one on one battle."

"You guys! They're out! Matt and Dimitri have just finished their time chamber training!" X exclaimed.

"Its about damn time!" Tai remarked.

They headed towards the time chamber doors and waited for the two to exit the room along with their digimon. Agumon and Tai watched on patiently in order to find out how powerful they have gotten during that time in the training chamber.

Suddenly, the doors opened up and two shadows started to step out. Dimitri was the first to emerge with Faith flying by his side. Dimitri looked as cool and intense as ever. Then, Matt came walking out with Gabumon sat his side. Their clothes almost torn up and their bodies just a little bit battered. But it really had paid off for them.

The Digi-Destined watched on in shock to see their comrades finally out of the chamber and better than ever. The digimon could easily sense the ki from both Gabumon and Faith. Their ki powers were much higher than before.

Dimitri came walking out of the room with a Faith on his shoulder. Alongside him was none other than Matt and Gabumon. Dimitri looked over towards the other children and smiled.

"So, have we missed out on anything yet?"

"Oh you bet you have. Things aren't looking so good for our side," Yolei said.

"What could be so bad?" asked Gabumon, "You can at least tell us."

"We will explain everything in just a moment," Azulongmon said.

"Hmmm, well Matt, how was the training room? Did Gabumon get a chance to exploit his hidden power?" asked Tai.

"You will just have to see for yourself, dude. In fact, you'll be quite shocked to know how much stronger Gabumon has gotten."

"Has Faith gotten the proper training he was looking for?" asked Kari.

"Yeah. He worked really hard to reach to the status of power he currently stands at," Dimitri replied, "This room will be the most difficult task for you to accomplish, Kari. You think you're up for it, Kari?"

"You bet. I'm more than ready. Gatomon is up for any kind of a challenge."

"I'll even practice with a ball of yarn just to get my training started," Gatomon said, "Just you wait and see, Dimitri. You won't be disappointed."

"Well, knowing you, I know that I won't be disappointed," Dimitri said in agreement.

"So how was the actual training for you guys? Intense?" asked Tai.

"Well it was very difficult to say the least. You and Kari are pretty much going to beg to be released after a long while," Dimitri said.

"So, what took you guys long? It seemed a bit longer than twenty-four hours," Kari said.

"Well, we could have left a little while ago, but my father here insisted that we stay a little longer because he wanted to…"

"That will be enough from there, Dimitri. I prefer to not have our secret training discussed in public. Understood?"

"Well, I guess you guys will have to find out how much power my brother and Gabumon were able to surpass."

"Is that so," Tai said, "Well Matt. I'm sure you can let us know what your little secret is, won't you?"

"Ha. Oh you will see the true potential of our full power. You won't be disappointed."

"Matt, you better listen up and listen good. While you were in there training with Gabumon, we've had our hands full with Virus," Leomon replied.

"No kidding and he's already absorbed the artificial known as Jax. He's gotten a lot stronger in his newest form. And if you think that your going to have any kind of a chance in taking this guy on, well you got another thing coming," Yolei said.

But Matt simply stood there with a smile on his face. The others looked at him as if he were just not taking this as a total threat to him. Why was he so cool and clam at this moment?

"We're serious, Matt. Virus has gotten really strong and none of us stands a chance against him. If you possibly think you even have a chance, then your nuts, dude," Tai said.

As soon as Tai was finished speaking, Matt just simply smirked and chuckled to himself. Tai gasped and couldn't believe that Matt wasn't even showing any kind of fear.

"Yes. Gabumon can easily sense the presence of Virus and it has gone a lot higher since the last time we had an encounter with him. But you guys have forgotten, we've been training our asses off in that chamber. I got to hand it to you, Tai, you've found the perfect place for us to reach to our limitations. It really paid off. Thanks."

"Well, I guess it's not a problem then. Look, we really need to discuss our game plan on taking out Virus once and for all," Tai said.

"Oh good ahead. I'm listening. But I don't think I plan on going along with your little game plan Tai. It's pretty obvious who has the most power to destroy Virus alone and your looking at the person."

"You mean you as Metalla X have enough power to destroy Virus. I find that hard to believe," Kari said.

"Say what you want to, Kari. But I'm going to prove you all wrong. Again, never underestimate us," Matt replied.

Dimitri looked over towards his young father and sighs. He pondered to himself on how far he and Faith were able to bypass the ascension of fusion during the times of training in the secret chamber.

"Ok, guys. Listen up," X said, "As you now know, Virus has already manifested into his second form, which makes him ten times more lethal than before. Ever since he absorbed Jax, his power has gone and increased to all-time heights. We have to be careful if we plan on defending the other artificial from him. If Virus is able to swallow Sonja into his being, then our hopes and chances of protecting both worlds will be put under jeopardy."

"Well then, I guess I can save you guys the trouble as Gabumon and I will take care of the Virus problem for you then," Matt said.

"Father. We should really not underestimate our enemy. Who knows how much powerful Virus has become during our training in the time chamber," Dimitri said.

"But you have forgotten? Gabumon and I have surpassed the power of fusion. We have ascended and now we're going to prove to Virus. I'm tired of all of this waiting. I say we take action now, or better yet, you guys let Gabumon and I take it from here."

"That's plain insanity!" Yolei said, "You're going to get killed."

"No, Yolei. I believe him," Tai said, "None of here are as strong to defeat Virus, except Dimitri and Matt. Their digimon have already reached to new levels of power as Matt said they were. So I say, let them go. Nobody is going to stop matt, so why even try."

"But Tai, we really don't know how much stronger Virus has gotten. And we absolutely have no idea how powerful Gabumon has gotten. Its a risk we're going to have to take," Kari said, "Matt, this is your decision. You make the right choice."

"Thanks you guys. Virus won't know what hit him," said Matt.

"Yo, Matt. You need any help on finding Virus. Maybe I can guide you by using time wrap," Tai said, "We can get by some more distance if we…"

"Oh please, Tai. I don't need you to help me. I don't know why you asked. This should be a piece of cake for me," Matt said.

"So you're actually going to go through with this?" X asked, "Well I ask for you to keep your eyes peeled and be careful."

"I will. Don't worry. I'll be rid of Virus right before you know it. Well then, I'm gone!" Matt said, "Gabumon. Ready?"

"As I always ever will be."

"Warp digivolve now!"

[Digimon Adventure evolution theme "Braveheart" plays]

Matt's digivice releases a huge ray of energy as hit covers Gabumon and gives him the power to evolve past his champion and ultimate leveled forms.

"Gabumon warp shinka!!"

Gabumon by passes through his rookie form, then to Garurumon, then to Were Garurumon and finally into Metal Garurumon.

"Metal Garurumon!"

Matt hops onto Metal Garurumon as they set off into the skies and flew off towards the location of Virus and the artificials.

"Man, sometimes he can be a jerk when it comes to underestimating the enemy," Yolei said, "Ugh, that jackass."

"Well it looks like I'll have to go and follow him," Dimitri said.

"Hey wait up, Dimitri!" Tai called out.

"What's up, Tai?"

"Just do me one favor? Don't get into Matt's way. He can be a real ass about it. He really hates it when people butt into his business, but make sure to watch his back."

"I'll do what I can Tai. Don't worry about me. Thanks."

"Good luck."

Dimitri nods and turns to face Faith. He holds out his D-3 and Faith felt his ki increase. He was now ready to evolve and fight in perhaps one of the most important battles of his life.

"Patamon shinka!! Angemon!!"

Then Dimitri's hidden crest powers powered up as well and it would allow Faith to reach to his ultimate leveled form.

"Angemon chou shinka!! Magna Angemon!!"

Faith picks up Dimitri as they set off towards the direction that Metal Garurumon and Matt were heading towards.

Tai looked over towards Kari and nodded to her. She looks over to her brother.

"Are you ready? It's time for our time chamber training with our digimon. Are you up for it?"

"You bet I am, big brother." "We have no time to lose guys. We better get into that room as soon as possible," Gatomon said.

"Hold on! There's something else important we have to get out of the way first," Agumon said.

"And what's that?" asked Yolei.

"What could be more important?" pondered Leomon.

"Some food. We haven't eaten all day," Agumon said.

"Come to think of it, I'm starving here," Tai whimpered.

The others all sighed and fell backwards at what they had just said.

"What? Eat now?" Kari said, "Looks like we wasted another good fifteen minutes. Why didn't you eat after getting up?"

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

Virus continued his search for the artificials. He looked down at several islands that were covering the entire ocean. He surveyed each island and wanted to make sure that he was able to find one of the artificials.

Virus stops himself and looks down at several islands that were just below him. He thought of a great idea to lure the artificials out.

"Where are they?! I am in no mood with these games! This is just almost too embarrassing to put up with. Very well then, if they won't come out, I'll just have to destroy these islands."

In fact, Virus was hovering above on an island where Black War Greymon and Sonja were hiding. They both looked up to see him hovering from a far distance.

"Black War Greymon! There he is!"

"Wait, I say we stay here. If we remain where we are, then he won't come and find us. He will eventually give out and looks for another pair of islands to destroy. Trust me, he wouldn't destroy you since you are considered valuable to him."

Virus looks down at several islands just a few yards away from him and pointed his hand down towards them.

"River of Power!!"

Virus shoots out a blast of energy right at the islands and within a matter of seconds, they islands were quickly wiped off. Virus had used one of Metal Seadramon's attacks. Now he faced another pair of islands and was ready to unleash another attack.

"Venom Infusion!!" Virus blasts away several more islands using Venom Myotismon's destructive attack, but this was a modified version of Virus' and it was more powerful, which makes it ten times just as destructive.

"Ugh! Black War Greymon! He's using each of the digimon's attacks to blow away each island. He's going to find us eventually!"

"We have to get out of here but let us wait until he clears every single island. That way I can fend him off while you go and hide somewhere else."

"Fine. Man, this really sucks. I'm not going to get eaten by that idiot."

Suddenly, more blasts were being fired away and many islands were starting to explode out of nowhere. Luckily, the island that Sonja was on hasn't been found yet and she hoped that Virus wouldn't eventually find the island that she is located on.

"Just a little more time and I'll regain my strength and resume my fight with Virus," Black War Greymon said to himself.

Virus quickly phases in and out across the ocean as he continued on blasting away each island one by one.

"Come on out, Sonja!! I'm demanding you to come out! If you do not show yourself, I will destroy these islands one by one! This is your last chance! I am ordering you to come! Nobody is safe from my wrath! You hear me?! Come out now!!!"

Virus goes flying around as if he were a vulture. But instead of looking down searching for prey, he blasted several more islands with some trademark digimon attacks. He used some of Machinedramon's Giga Cannon blasts and several Giga Missiles, both of which are Metal Garurumon's and Metal Greymon's techniques.

Elsewhere, Metal Garurumon picks up Virus' energy signal and went to tell Matt, who was on his back enjoying the long ride.

"Matt. I can sense Virus. Hes close by."

"Well, looks like we're going to show our power a little early this time," Matt said, "Wait till Virus gets a load of us, Metalla X style."

With that said, Metal Garurumon boosted his speed and flies across the oceans to reach a much wider range and to arrive at the site as soon as possible.

Faith and Dimitri looked up ahead to see Metal Garurumon with Matt. Dimitri has his eyes locked onto matt and he wants to make sure that his father will be able to get the job done against Virus. But he is mostly there to help support Matt all the way through.

"Father. I'm going to be watching your every move and I just hope that you don't let all of that power go to your head. Please, take this fight with Virus seriously. I really want to see how much Metalla X has progressed as far as ki level is concerned. Then I shall demonstrate mine when the time is right."

Faith boosted his speed in order to catch up to Metal Garurumon, so that both will be able to find Virus' location at the same time without stalling each other's time.

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

"Damn it! You better come out now or I will destroy each of these islands one by one! It won't take very long for me to find your location! Come out and surrender yourself to me, Sonja. Nobody in this world or the Digital World is stronger than me! I have no equal! I demand you to show yourself or you will suffer the consequences of my wrath!"

Virus powers up his ki and a bright aura formed around him. He holds up his hands and a large orange ball of energy formed in one hand. Then a black energy ball forms in his other hand. One of these is none other than War Greymon's Terra Force and the other is one of Burizalor's destructive Death Balls.

"If you won't come out, then I shall force you to come out!! Terra Force!! Death Ball!!"

Virus throws down the Terra Force and then the Death Ball attack towards several more neighboring islands. Within a matter of moments, these islands were quickly wiped out and nothing was left of them.

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

Paildramon and Stingmon stopped as they both felt a huge ki. Ken and Davis wondered why they stopped and began to question them.

"Stingmon? What's wrong?"

"It's Virus, Ken. He's around here and I can sense his energy signal! He's gotten much stronger ever since he absorbed Jax. I don't think even Black War Greymon stands a chance now."

"Shoot and now we still got to shut those artificals down…" Davis said in Paildramon's thoughts.

"You sure sound pretty down about this one. What's wrong? You sound depressed," said Ken.

"Its nothing really."

"Ok…"

"Uhhh man. I really liked that Sonja girl. She seemed pretty nice and boy was she cute. Too bad she's an artificial though. If only she were a real human being. Wait a second! C'mon Davis, snap out of it! We got a job to do!"

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

Back in Azulongmon's training grounds, Agumon and Tai had already finished their little meal, more like a big buffet. They both walked over towards Kari and Gatomon.

"So, are you ready?" Tai asked.

"Yeah," Kari said.

X walks over to the chamber door and opens it. A bright flash of light came out of it. Kari and Gatomon shielded their eyes from the light. Tai and Agumon both guided them through the light and into the chamber.

"It's ok, Kari. It's just light," Tai said.

"Wow. It's so beautiful," Kari said.

X closes the door on them and seals the chamber door shut. He motions to Azulongmon, as if signaling that both children have entered the room.

"I just hope that they will make it through," Yolei said to herself,"But then again, I'm not going to doubt their abilities."

Tai and Kari have now entered the time chamber room with Agumon and Gatomon! Can they withstand this one-year of training? Virus continues on his rampage, can the artificials make it out alive before Virus gets to them? Will Matt and Metal Garurumon make it there in time to become Metalla X and stop the evil monster before everything is lost?

[Preview]

Virus: Sonja! Come out! I will find you eventually!

Metalla X: Will you just shut the hell up? You're excessive whining isn't going to change the fact that I'm going to grind your ass to the ground.

Dimitri: Father. You're intense training has pushed you to new limits. Do not let this new power go to your head. It will cost you dearly.

Kari: This is the time room? Wow…

Tai: Listen, Kari. We're not going to play around. This is important. We're going to train with our partner digimon in this room for a whole year, but it is merely just a twenty-four hour day outside this room.

Kari: What?! A year of training in a day?! I don't think we survive that long…

Tai: No, because you and Gatomon will have to surpass Agumon and myself…

Kari: Us, surpass you?!

Paildramon: Ken? Where are they?

Ken: I'm not sure, but we need to shut those artificials down before Virus can get to them.

Virus: Just, who are you? You're not the same Yamato.

Metalla X: That's right. You can call me Super Metalla.

Kari: Next time on Digimon Fusion Zero Two, episode twenty-nine!
