[Digimon Zero Two opening theme "Target Akai Shougeki" plays during the opening sequence]
Metalla X's Pride Overcomes Virus! Daisuke-Shut Down Sonja!
Virus stood right in front of Metalla X with a very intense look on his face. He clenched his fists tightly and growled under his breath. He couldn't believe that he was getting taken apart by Metalla X. He was so sure that he could have wiped out Metalla X by now, but that wasn't the case. Meanwhile, Metalla X was simply calm. A huge smirk was right on his face and he didn't even let Virus bother one tiny bit.
The artificials watched on from a far off distance behind some huge bushes. They had just witnessed what seemed to be a very powerful warrior in Metalla X. They were quite shocked to even see Virus struggle against him.
"Virus is scared of Metalla X? This is too unreal. Metalla X is basically taking him apart," Sonja said.
"Amazing. I've never felt this tremendous energy from one single force," Black War Greymon thought. "I hope for sure that Metalla X will indeed finish off Virus as he was supposed to have done."
Virus punched the ground with intense rage as he looked up and faced Metalla X.
"How did you get this much power? Enlighten me now!"
"Ha. All I did were just your basic normal routine exercises. Like some sit-ups, pushups, curl ups, cardio running and taking my vitamins. There, is that proof enough?"
"No! This can't be happening! You should be dead by now, because back in the future time, artificial Jax killed you. But I absorbed Jax and I have all of his abilities in addition to my own! This just isn't possible, you bluffing!!"
"Look, prove my bluff then. You're just mad that I'm easily kicking your ass and you can't even touch me. But I'll tell you what. I make things much easier for you. Ok?"
Virus stomps the ground and creates a hole in the ground. He watches as Metalla X turns his back on him.
"Ok, now. My back is turned. How is that?"
Virus angrily stomps the ground and cries out in tremendous anger and rage. Metalla X was basically just toying with him. But now he wasn't going to take any more crap from Metalla X, he plans on finishing this fight once and for all. So from there he can proceed on to absorb Sonja to complete his evolution.
"Young father. I hope you realize that this needs to be ended now. Why haven't you finished off Virus by now? This isn't the time to letting your ego get the best of you," Angemon said to himself.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere, Paildramon and Stingmon were surveying around the area where many islands once stood. They were sure that there were islands here the other day but now nothing.
"This is odd. I could have sworn that Stingmon and I surveyed this area. There were islands on this exact spot," Ken said.
"Well, where ever they are, they're gone. I know for a fact that this could have been Virus' dirty work," Paildramon said.
"Then he isn't too far away," Stingmon replied.
Suddenly Paildramon and Stingmon felt a tremendous ki from over in the east side. They growled as they felt a dark presence from there.
"What is it Stingmon?" asked Ken.
"I feel a dark presence over in the east direction," Stingmon replied, "And that could only mean one thing."
"Yep. Virus. He's close by," Paildramon said, "And I'm sure that the artificials are close by as well. We better get there as fast as we possibly can."
"So we basically got to shut down these things with just this handheld device alone?" Davis asked in Paildramon's thoughts.
"You got that right and we're going to get it done," Paildramon replied, "So are we ready to go…"
"Hold on! Wait for me!" cried out a voice.
They all turned to see TK riding on Pegasusmon. The young boy waved over to them in order to get their attention.
"TK! We were wondering if you would ever show up," Ken said, "Thanks for coming."
"Are you kidding me? I wouldn't miss my brother in action for the whole world," TK replied.
"Wait a minute?! Matt and Gabumon are already over there now?" asked Stingmon.
"Yeah along with Dimitri. They're stopping Virus at the moment and that will give you guys the chance to shutting down those artificials," TK said.
"But we better hurry. Those artificials could have left the island right about now," Pegasusmon said.
They all nodded in agreement and headed over towards the east direction where all of the action was taking place. But they had better hurry or something disastrous could take place by now.
***************************************************************************************
Virus hops onto a nearby cliff ledge and gets into a fighting position. He slowly cups his hands together and wrenches them backwards. Metalla X turns to face him.
"As you should know by now, your DNA is apart of me. And I have your own attacks to go along with it," Virus said.
The evil artificial begins to power up a single mass of energy in his hands and then it got bigger. Angemon X could easily tell what the attack was and knew what was coming in a few moments.
"Wait a second. That's my father's Ice Barrier Beam technique!"
"Ice Barrier Beam!!"
Virus pushes his hands forwards and shoots out a huge, icy blast. The blast goes hurtling towards Metalla X at a tremendous rate but Metalla X just stood there with a smirk on his face. He gets into a blocking position as he crosses his arms and lets the blast engulf him. A huge explosion occurs and causes the whole area that they were standing around on to explode.
**************************************************************************************
"Whoa! There I see some sort of blast being fired over on that island!" Ken cried out.
"No doubt that they are there," said Paildramon, "And that was one of Metalla X's attacks. It's got to be him."
"Or it could have been Virus. Remember, he has everyone of our attacks," Pegasusmon said.
"No surprise there," TK said.
"We better take a look at this action and we'll determine the perfect time to make our next move," said Stingmon.
"Agreed!" they all said in unison.
They looked down to watch the fight ensue between the two super powers. They could see a huge cloud of smoke engulfing a large portion of the island itself.
***************************************************************************************
As the smoke began to clear away, the ground started to shake up and debris spread apart in every direction. Virus slowly gets to his feet and looks over to see the large cloud of smoke starting to clear away.
A huge grin formed across his face but then it turns into an expression of complete shock as the smoke cleared away. What he saw standing right before him was none other than Metalla X. But this time, there was a blue metallic aura glowing around his body and the spikes on his back were sharper than ever.
Angemon X quickly sighed a relief as he saw his young father withstanding such a devastating attack and it was Metalla X's own attack. Virus still couldn't believe that he was unable to penetrate Metalla X.
"I can't believe this! How are you able to withstand such a blow," Virus asked frantically.
"Like I said, my power far surpasses yours. You just won't admit that your getting your ass kicked by a fused warrior such as ourselves."
"Damn you!"
"Wow! Metalla X is radical! I must hand it to you, your brother sure knows how to deliver a good ass kicking," Paildramon said.
"Mmmhmm. We shouldn't have any problems as long as he's around. Virus doesn't realize what he's up against," TK said.
"Man I really wish what kind of training he and Dimitri were taking in that chamber," Ken said.
"Look! I see Angemon X over on that canyon ridge," said Stingmon.
They all looked down to see Angemon X watching the battle ensue. It was as if he had the front row seats.
"Dude! I wonder what kind of vitamins Dimitri is taking?" said Paildramon. "We could use a little training in that chamber if we wanted."
"Well first, we have to shut down those artificials and then we can let Metalla X get his job done. And from there, we can enjoy a little free time," Pegasusmon said, "But we got important business to accomplish first. You got the remote control, Paildramon?"
"Right here and I'm ready to turn their lights off," Paildramon replied, "I wonder if you can use this to get free cable too."
Virus gets even angrier and he begins to charge right at Metalla X. He shoots out a barrage of multiple ki blast but Metalla X easily warded them off with just the palm of his hands. Virus goes to punch Metalla X but Metalla X easily maneuvers to the side and delivers a devastating knee to his gut. Metalla X flips over Virus. He gets behind him and then delivers a spinning wheel kick to the back of Virus' head.
Virus goes flying back and crashes into several rocky ledges. The force of the impact caused the ledges to explode into nothing but a pile of debris. Virus finds himself crashing down into the ground as he falls face first.
Virus quickly gets to his feet and wipes the blood from his mouth. He turns to see Metalla X flying right at him and then delivering a power punch to his face. Virus goes falling back as he is left a battered and bloody mess.
"Wow. I can't believe at what I'm seeing here," TK said, "My brother and Gabumon are unbelievable. They're bigger, faster and stronger than Tai was as Omega X."
"No kidding. I'm speechless," Ken said.
**************************************************************************************
Leomon and X observed the battle and Leomon was beginning to fear for the worst to come.
"Well, at least we're winning, right Leomon?" asked X, "I mean Metalla X is unstoppable. Virus hasn't even made a single scratch on him."
"Its Metalla X who's winning, not us," Leomon replied.
"Yeah. I can certainly understand and find it hard to trust in Metalla X sometimes. He's certainly the opposite of Omega X."
"So, what's been going on?" asked Yolei, "How has Matt been faring? Is he still kicking Virus' good for nothing butt?"
"Yes but we should be more worried how long that will last," Leomon said.
"What do you mean?" Hawkmon asked.
"I mean the fact that its hard to trust in Metalla X's abilities sometimes," X stated.
"I can certainly understand that," said Yolei, "So when are the others going to go and shut down those artificials?"
"Ken, TK and Davis should be over on the island by now," Leomon said.
"As a matter of fact, they are," replied Azulongmon, "As you can see on the viewing orb, they are watching the battle as we speak. But they know that they have a task to accomplish."
"Ken. I hope you make it through this whole ordeal in one peace," Yolei said in thought.
"Yolei? What's wrong?" asked Hawkmon.
Yolei looked down at Hawkmon and blushed a bit. Hawkmon began to ponder on what she was thinking and shrugged his shoulders.
"Damn it! You better stop toying with him, Metalla X! Your putting all of our lives at risk," Leomon said in his thoughts.
***************************************************************************************
"Terra Force!!!"
War Greymon tossed several of his patented Terra Force attacks and quickly shattered away some icy glaciers in the wide-open empty space. Illusions will often start to appear and that is what this whole training is all about.
"Great work, War Greymon! You definitely are a one 'mon wrecking crew!"
"You haven't seen anything yet, Tai. Watch this."
War Greymon hovers up and begins to power up his ki. His body was then covered by an orange aura of light. He quickly spins into a tornado and at the same time begins to power up to twenty times of his normal maximum.
"Mega Claw!! Times Twenty!!"
War Greymon quickly spins through several rising glaciers in a matter of moments and leaves them as nothing but a pile of icy debris.
"Tai! Tai! Over here!"
Tai turned around to see his younger sister waving over to him. He runs over to where she was standing and she quickly pointed up to see Magnadramon powering up her ki.
"Wow that's impressive Kari. But she can do any attacks and not just stand around and power up her ki level?" asked Tai.
"Sure. Ok, Magnadramon! Let 'em have it!"
Magnadramon quickly powered up her ki level and a pink aura of light surrounded her. She then flies up and opens her mouth. A green fire blast came shooting out of her mouth and down into the ground.
"Dramon Fire!!"
But instead of it going at a normal rate, the blast went at a super sonic speed and penetrated through the gigantic glacier in a matter of seconds. Then the glacier exploded in no time flat. Nothing was left of it but icy debris.
"Wow. That's awesome. You two are really catching on."
"Yeah, but we're not even at the fusion level. This is just your basic. You think I'll ever fuse with Gatomon," asked Kari, "And how do we really know that we possess the amazing power of the Amazing Grace."
"Hey quit on me already. You're really catching on. As a matter of fact, you're catching on better than I did during my year of training in here with Agumon sometime ago."
"No you're just saying that."
"No. I'm dead serious. Don't worry so much and don't even put all of the pressure on yourself. You're going to catch on. I promise."
"That makes me feel good about myself, after listening to you. Thank you, big brother."
"Anything to cheer up my baby little sister."
"Tai, I'm not a baby, ok? So what do we do now?"
"Our digimon need a little more time to train, so lets allow them to train until their bodies start to wear out. You and I are hitting the snack bar now! Last on there has to mop the floors!"
"Oh no! You're not beating me to it again! I'm not mopping the floors ever again! Ha! Ha!"
The two siblings raced each other to determine who would indeed mop the floors while their digimon continued their training sessions.
****************************************************************************************
A huge explosion occurred in the skies above and then followed by that were bright flashes of lights colliding with one another. Suddenly, somebody was falling down from the sky. It was Virus. He found himself crashing down into the ground below and causing a huge crater to add to his devastating fall. Virus slowly gets to his feet but he is much too battered to even move a single muscle.
Metalla X flies down to meet up with Virus and a huge smirk forms across his face.
"Are we getting mad already?" Metalla X asked in a convincing manner. "Too damn bad. You're going to have to live with the fact that a fused warrior is much too superior to you artificials."
"No! I refuse to believe that! Its not true!!"
Virus goes flying right at Metalla X and goes to punch him right in the face but Metalla X twists to the side and delivers a chop to the side of the face of Virus. Virus goes flying back and crashing down into the water below. Metalla X smiled and flew right down into the water to follow Virus.
"Ugh! Matt! Now why did you have to go and do that for?" TK asked angrily.
"He's wasting our time," Paildramon said, "But I say we go down and do our part already. I've just about seen enough of Matt's obnoxious ways."
Virus found himself underwater and he began to look around his surroundings. He could find nothing but an ocean full of underwater life. However, there weren't any signs of Metalla X anywhere. Virus began to pick up a huge reading nearby and he begins to power up a ki blast. Suddenly, he felt a shadow looming by and turns around to blast whoever was behind him. To his surprise, he shot a shark and watched as it exploded.
Virus angrily cried out and began to power up his ki level once again. He hovered towards the top and shoots away a barrage of ki blasts in order to clear away the coral reef. This way he could easily track down Metalla X and attack him at any given opportunity.
Virus hovers down to the ocean bottoms and surveyed the area. So far, nothing has been happening and he was beginning to think that this whole situation was pointless at the moment. But just as Virus was about to make his grand exit, two hands popped out from the sands below and grabbed Virus by his feet. Virus looked down and tried to break free but Metalla X jumped out of nowhere and delivers an uppercut to the monster's chin. The force of the uppercut sent Virus flying up and into the skies. Metalla X goes and follows him up as well.
Virus stops himself and looks down to see Metalla X flying up towards him. Just as Virus was about to fire another barrage of ki blasts, Metalla X quickly phases out. Virus gasps in shock and gets nailed in the side of the head with a devastating kick. Virus goes flying back but then Metalla X reappears above him and delivers a power kick to his gut. Virus cries out in pain and falls down through the water below.
Metalla X hovered around the ocean's surface with a huge smirk on his face. He begins to feel a huge energy level coming out of the water and Virus quickly jumps out to surprise attack Metalla X. However, this attack proved useless as Metalla X quickly sees him coming and delivers a devastating kick to the stomach of Virus. The evil artificial cries out angrily and holds his stomach.
"You mark my words! I will find a way to defeat you!!"
"So, is that what you were doing down in the waters this whole time? Thinking of a way to beat me? Ha. I find that hard to believe!"
Virus growled angrily and clenched his fists. He became so angry that blood was trickling from his hands. Metalla X held out his right hand and motions to Virus to 'bring it'. This infuriated Virus even more as he goes and flies right at Metalla X for another round of hard clashing and bashing.
Virus misses a punch and gets a kick to the side of his head for his troubles. Virus goes falling down into the ground but he manages to flip over and land on his feet. He looks up to see Metalla X smiling at him.
"You got him against the ropes now, young father. Now would be the perfect time to end this battle. Please don't let your ego consume you. You have to end this fight," Angemon X said.
Virus looks over towards Metalla X and stomps his foot down onto the ground angrily as if he were about to throw a hissy fit like a small child. He punched the ground and cried out with pure rage burning up inside of him.
"This can't be happening to me! Do you hear me, Metalla X?! I am Virus, the most powerful being in two worlds!!"
Metalla X simply did not answer but he managed to get in a snide remark just to irritate Virus even more.
"You are nothing."
Virus goes flying right at Metalla X and goes to throw a punch at him but Metalla X quickly ducks under and goes behind Virus. Metalla X holds out his hand and shoots out a blast from behind and sends Virus crashing down into the waters.
Metalla X lands onto a canyon ledge and turns to face the waters as he waited for his adversary to jump out and attack. But this time, Virus just jumps out and shakes the water off of his body. Virus looks up at Metalla X with an angry look on his face and his eyes with veins quickly popping out in them.
"How?! How are you able to achieve this much power?! I absorbed Jax and you should be nothing to me! Not the other way around!"
"Virus. Allow me to introduce you to somebody else who has been training under the same conditions as I have. My son over there. His name is Dimitri. He's not quite as strong as I am, but there is quite a difference between us. He has a lot of power under his caliber. No surprise since he's my son."
Virus looks over towards Angemon X with a shocked look on his face and angrily growled to himself. Now he would have to deal with two super powers that are way above him as far as power level was concerned.
"If by any miracle you managed to beat me, Dimitri would have finished you off! Do you now see how pointless this battle has been?! Face it, Virus. You took a damn gamble and you lost this little game!"
"This doesn't make sense! How could you achieved this large amount of power?! Damn you!!" A huge aura was forming around Virus as the ground under his feet was starting to shatter away. His anger was building up and causing his power to increase as a result.
"Your the one who started this game and now you don't want to finish it?! Your just a shitty warrior!!"
Virus cried out angrily and clenched his fists with pure rage. He wasn't going to let such an adversary such as Metalla X talk to him like that. He won't allow such foolishness to further embarrass him and destroy his pride altogether.
"Noo!! You wouldn't be saying this if I had completed my evolution!! You would be nothing to me if I was to absorb artificial model Sonja!!"
Paildramon quickly picked up to what Virus was saying and gasped.
"Hey you guys! He didn't absorb artificial Sonja just yet! This is our chance to make our next move!!"
"Perfect! Lets make sure that we don't get seen," TK said.
They all nodded in agreement and went ahead to make their next move towards the island and to avoid being seen or detected by the artificials.
"Yamato! Please, allow me to absorb artificial model Sonja. That way, you would have a much better challenge. I know you thrive on competition, so what do you say? Do we have a deal? Its that simple!"
"Father! Hell no! He's deceiving you! Don't listen to a damn thing that he says," Angemon X said in thought.
The artificials watched on and they couldn't believe to what they were hearing. Sonja's life was now at stake but would Metalla X go along with Virus' agreement.
"C'mon? What do you say? Is it an agreement then?"
"Ha! You still sound like a big wuss who's trying to get his way again!"
"Shit!! This isn't happening!! No!!"
Paildramon, Stingmon and Pegasusmon flies across the island in hopes of finding the artificials. Ken and TK looked down and surveyed the area. No signs of the artificials anywhere. The digimon couldn't even pick up their ki since they don't possess any.
"This is just so strange. I have a feeling that the artificials would be on this island since Virus blew up the other islands," said Stingmon.
"And since we can't sense their kis, it will make it much more difficult for us to locate them," said Paildramon.
"We're just going to have to look harder," Pegasusmon replied, "Or else we could very well lose the artificials. No telling is Virus was able to find them before we have a chance to shut them down."
"Well I don't think we have to worry about Virus at the moment," replied TK, "Take a look down there."
He points down towards the island and something is obviously going down between Virus and Metalla X. The ground is shaking and rocks are starting to rise from the ground. Some major power is unleashing a large amount of ki and it obviously was Virus.
"Oh man. I wouldn't want to be Virus now," Ken said, "He gets a lot angrier than I ever have when I was the Digimon Kaiser."
"Yes and this guy is giving me a major headache with all of his whining," Stingmon remarked.
Paildramon looks down at the remote control and visions of Sonja appear in his mind randomly.
"I'm going to have to shut down Sonja. But there's something that is telling me that I shouldn't and its holding me back," Davis said in Paildramon's thoughts.
"So, are we ready to shut down some artificials?" asked Paildramon.
"We might as well. Dude, if only you could understand how I feel right now. I know this is the right thing to do but do I really need to shut down Sonja. I mean she couldn't be all that bad, unlike Jax of course. There's something that I like about her and… Err… No… You can always go after Kari but she's all chummy with TK…"
"Hello. Earth to Davis! Come in!" Paildramon said.
"I'm ready. Lets do this. Oh man. I can't believe that I just said that."
Meanwhile back down below, there was a huge power increase-taking place and the energy signal was coming from Virus. He was letting his rage and anger get the best of him at this very moment.
"Arghh!!! Damn it!! Damn it!!"
Virus was starting to catch his breath and punching the ground with his fists. Then he throws his head back and roars at the sky. His eyes are closed and then he loses his insanity all together. Sunlight begins to shine down upon him.
"Damn it!!"
Suddenly, the ground below him starts to form some cracks. Tons of rocky debris flies out from around him at all directions.
"Wow. What an insane anger," TK said. "Talk about issues."
"He's obviously has lost his insanity altogether," replied Stingmon.
"No kidding. Man I wouldn't want to be Matt by now," said Ken.
Metalla X stands on the cliff ridge. He hasn't even moved a muscle and has watched Virus began to make a complete fool out of himself. He could only just witness the monster throwing a major temper tantrum.
The entire piece of land that Virus was standing on suddenly breaks apart and slides down into the water. He then finally stops screaming and stands there in the middle of the destruction. He begins panting as he has lost a lot of his composure.
"If I could have reached my full evolution… He would mean nothing to me," Virus muttered under his breath.
Metalla X quickly heard his comments and was taking it under consideration. He began to listen to him even further.
"If I could have reached my full evolution… He would mean nothing to me whatsoever! He could never match up to me if I had absorbed Sonja into my being! He craves for a challenge well he's going to get one!"
Metalla X then flies down towards Virus and decides to listen to what he has to say. He was sick of Virus' rambling and was thinking of Virus' proposition.
"What is it that I heard you say? Did I just hear you say, that if you had completed your full evolution then I would not stand a chance against you?"
"That's right! You would be nothing to me! I would be the superior being! You would be a nobody to me!"
"So, this is true or just a pile of crap?"
"No! I can't possibly lose in the terms of speed, strength, techniques, wisdom, and will power, and everything! I'll become fully evolved! That's what Datamon's computer told me! Even you would get tossed around by my awesome power!"
Metalla X growls angrily and delivers a kick to the side of Virus' head. Virus goes flying back and through a rock wall. He manages to stop himself from flying back and crashing through any more rock walls. He groans and pushes himself up.
"Damn…" Metalla X instantly lands behind him. He starts to walk up towards Virus with a cool and calm look on his face.
"I won't lose if I reached my full evolution!"
Metalla X walks up towards him. Virus stands up and clenches his fists in pure anger.
"I will defeat you!!"
But then, Metalla X comes up from behind and kicks him in the side of the head. Virus falls down onto the ground and slides face first into the dirt.
Sonja watches on in amazement as she brushes her hair back. She couldn't believe that Virus was now getting his ass handed to him by Metalla X.
"Amazing. When he fought me, did he purposely reduce his power?"
"No. He didn't have to do so," Black War Greymon replied, "It looks like something has happened during these last few days."
"What?! What has happened to make him become this?!"
Paildramon, Pegasusmon and Stingmon fly overhead across the island. They look back and forth, seeing nothing before them.
"See anything yet?" asked Ken.
"Ahh! Yeah! We found them! It's the artificials! Sonja and Black War Greymon!" exclaimed Paildramon.
He points down and they all look down to see the artificials sitting behind a group of bushes observing the battle that is raging on.
"I found her! She's here after all," Paildramon said.
Paildramon's hands slowly open up and the controller falls out. He quickly reacts to this and quickly snatches it. He looks back down at the artificals.
"No one found her? Virus, Metalla, and even Dimitri haven't even noticed her,"Davis pondered to himself.
"Paildramon! You can go shut down those artificials. TK and I are going to go down to observe the fight," Ken said.
"Alright. I'll catch up to you guys later," said Paildramon.
Pegasusmon and Stingmon fly off towards the other side of the island where they would observe the battle that is heating up between Virus and Metalla X.
Paildramon looks down at the remote control and then at the kill switch. Davis isn't sure of what to do, should he not or should be shut down Sonja with the switch.
"Stop Sonja with the controller, then destroy her. Then Virus cannot become a whole body and Sonja can be defeated."
He gulps and remembers what Izzy told him.
"You have to get a very close range in order for it to work."
"Alright! Here goes nothing! We got a job to do!"
He flies down towards the island and lands between some cliffs and trees. He was now out of the artificial's sight and then he nods to himself before continuing on.
Back on the battlefield, Virus grunts to himself as he falls down yet again. He wasn't going to be humiliated any longer. He has allowed this to go on far enough and now he would get down to business. He pulls his head out of the dirt and breathes heavily. Metalla X walks towards him at a leisurely pace. Virus jumps up to his feet.
"If Sonja can be absorbed…"
Just then, Metalla X stretches his arm, then his palm out and placed right on Virus' back. Virus turns around to face him.
"No, Yamato. Please, let me explain."
Metalla X simply smiles and sends out a ki blast. The blast quickly sends Virus flying back. He screams out and finds himself flying a few yards before falling to the ground and being lost in the ensuing explosion.
Paildramon slowly walks around the hills towards Sonja. He wanted to be sure that he didn't make a single sound that would suddenly alarm the artificials. He walked quietly like a mouse with the remote control in the palm of his hand.
"Jax is gone. There's no doubt in my mind that Virus absorbed him. I saw him get swallowed up earlier today. So Virus' strength has gone up and he's already transformed."
Paildramon slows down a bit as he starts near a corner around a cliff.
Metalla X walks towards the settling dust cloud. Inside the cloud, Virus groans to himself. He lifts a hand to the edge of the crater and pulls himself up. He starts to pant heavily and stares right at Metalla X.
Paildramon tiptoes to the edge of the cliff and leans back up against it. He wants to make sure that he doesn't get spotted immediately. He peers around the side and looks down at the artificials. He gasps and spins around.
"We've found them! Don't let them see us. Go within a perimeter of about fifteen meters."
Paildramon looks back and sighs heavily to himself.
"We'll be dead meat if they find us. We can't allow that to happen."
Sonja stares intensely into the battle and is more worried about Virus possibly getting to her rather than knowing that she and Black War Greymon are being watched.
Suddenly, Davis flashes back to when she kissed him a couple of days ago during the first artificial battles. Paildramon's eyes go all wide for a second but then he shakes the thoughts out of his head. He gasps and spins back behind the cliff.
"At this crucial moment?! What am I thinking?!"
Flashback
Davis saw Sonja walking up to him with a smile on her face. He looked up at her and she bent over to give him a kiss on the cheek.
"Uhh… What?"
"Help your friends. It's the best way to go. Well, bye cutie."
End of Flashback
"Oh that kiss. How could I ever forget that?"
Back on the battle grounds, Virus stares intensely at Metalla X and slowly starts to pull himself out from the edge of the crater.
"This is ridiculous! Your power is laughable, Virus! I can't believe that we were so worried about you! But I can easily tell that there's such a big gap between us. Now if I allowed you to absorb the other artificial, then you would give me the challenge that I have been looking for?"
"Yes! It would be the ultimate challenge! Are you up for it?!"
"Well let's just say that I am thinking about it."
Angemon X gasps at what has been just said. He couldn't bear the thought of Virus in his full evolution. He also couldn't believe the fact that his own father is going to let Virus absorb the other artificial.
"No, young father. You can't allow him! He's deceived you! Your making a big mistake," Angemon X said in thought.
Black War Greymon gasped at what has been said and turned to face Sonja.
"What's wrong, Black War Greymon?"
"Sonja! Leave me behind! You must go now! I think Metalla X is going to allow Virus go to absorb you for the sport of competition."
Sonja stood there in complete shock and looked to her every direction in hopes of finding herself an escape route off of the island.
"What do you say, Yamato? You really would love to know who is the best, because I know you. You thrive on being the best and battling the best. Its no different that you always wanted to be leader of the Digi-Destined and take Taichi's place."
Virus climbs out of the hole and stares down Metalla X. All other eyes are on these two; they waited to see what kind of decision Metalla X shall make.
"You enjoy the sport of fighting and it was you that wanted to fight Taichi to the very death to claim a spot as leader of the Chosen Children, am I right? So what do you say, you would get an even bigger challenge if you allow me to absorb Sonja. Please, I hope you realize where I am trying to come from here."
Paildramon looks back around the tree towards Sonja. His hands start to shake.
"What's wrong, Davis?"
"Within those fifteen meters…"
Paildramon runs out from behind his tree and up to another rock wall that's closer to the artificials. He looks out from behind his new wall. Neither artificial has spotted him. He looks down at the controller.
"Alright. Even if we use his controller to stop Sonja, if we don't destroy her, she will be absorbed by Virus."
His hands start to tremble and he looks back at Sonja. She hasn't even noticed him yet. Then he envisions Virus picking Sonja up by her head.
"I think I can destroy her. It seems that Black War Greymon can't move at all. We only have one chance now."
Then he remembers Sonja kissing him and he quickly rubs his cheek to shake out the thoughts. He looks back at her.
"Sonja used to be a lovely girl. If only she hadn't been remade by that scumbag Datamon. She's so beautiful. There's no reason to destroy her."
"Ummm Davis. She's an artificial. We have to do this!"
"If she's absorbed by Virus, he will reach his full evolution. All human beings will be killed in this world and the digital world will be destroyed at the same time!"
He tries to push the button, but he just can't bring himself to do it.
"I must! I can't! Must! Can't! Must! Can't! Must! Can't!"

Meanwhile, back in the training chamber, Tai and Kari were munching on some grub, which were rice balls and soup.
"I must say Tai, this is probably your best cooking I've ever had. I never knew you could make rice balls and soup," Kari said.
"Yeah. Matt taught me how to make these during the time of peace. It's pretty fun when you learn how to cook. You should try it out sometime," Tai said.
"Hmmm. I guess once I become a house wife then I could," replied Kari, "But starting now would be the perfect way to go."
"Yeah."
"So, Tai? Don't you think this is just a waste of our time? I mean don't you think that we should be out there training our digimon instead of eating like pigs?"
"Nah, because I learned that rest is just as important as it is to train, maybe even more important."
"Really?"
"Sure. If we allow ourselves to rest, then we can work even harder the very next time we decide to train our digimon. So no more worrying?"
"Right. No more worrying. But promise me one thing."
"What's that?"
"We don't slack off? Is that cool?"
"Sure, no problem. Now, how about we feed our digimon. I'm pretty sure they're starving by now."
"Yeah. Hey guys! Dinner is ready! Come and get it!"
Within a matter of seconds, Gatomon and Agumon quickly appeared and snatched away their partner's bowls. They then quickly started to consume whatever food they had left.
"Well they certainly know how to make pigs out of themselves," Tai said.
"No kidding. They got bottomless pits!"
**************************************************************************************
Paildramon stares down at the remote control with his fingers on the button. He can't even decide whether to push it or not. This was a very hard choice for him to make but the right thing to do would definitely be to push the button. Sonja watches the battle with a clueless look on her face.
"To destroy, or not to destroy. That is the question. Ugh, c'mon Davis! Get that Shakespeare crap out of your head!"
He quickly looks back to when Sonja kissed him on the cheek a couple of days ago. He still couldn't get those thoughts out of his head. He still had feelings for her ever since that day but could he actually fall in love with an artificial? His hands tremble and he looks down at the control. His eyes shut tightly and the thoughts of Sonja started to replay in his mind over and over again like a broken record. He's picturing her looking straight at him. Finally, he opens his eyes and drops the control down to the ground.
"No I can't do it. I love her."
"What are you crazy, Davis?!"
The clatter from it's landing startles both of the artificials. They both look over to Paildramon. Sonja gasps and Paildramon stares over at them.
"Hey. Your Davis aren't you? You fused with Veemon didn't you?" asked Sonja.
She looks down at what he dropped and gasps in shock.
"Hey isn't that a controller for emergency stop?! But where did he get one?
Paildramon stares her down in silence as they both faced each other off.
"So, don't you want to fight me when I'm in my fully evolved form? You love to fight so why don't you allow me to absorb Sonja and you will get the challenge that you have been craving for."
"Well. I didn't know you knew me so well, Virus."
"That's because you're DNA is apart of me."
"That's why?"
"Yes. That's the main reason why."
Angemon X hears this and steps towards the edge of the cliff to get a better hearing of their conversation.
"Al right. You have managed to arouse my curiosity. You were lucky this time. No go, absorb that artificial!"
"No! Father!!"
"Maybe the next time that we meet, you won't be in such a pitiful state. Its quite embarrassing."
Virus simply grins and looks around his surroundings in search of the artificial.
"Father, no!! Don't do that! That is your biggest weakness!"
"Shut up, you fool! Mind your own damn business! Our fusion has ascended to the fusion level! I need the best competition that I can find and a fully evolved Virus will be that competition that I need. Now go, Virus! Or else I will have to change my mind!"
Virus smiles and flies up into the air to go search for Sonja. He looks back down at Metalla X and smiles.
"This better be worthy it, Virus!"
"Hehe. You won't be disappointed. You're a stupid bastard, Yamato."
Suddenly, Virus stops in place, as Angemon X appears right in front of him. He quickly transforms into his ultimate fusion stage and Virus is quickly caught by surprise. Angemon X had moved so fast that not even Virus could have detected his movements.
"If my young father won't stop you! Then I will!"
Virus stares right at Angemon X and quivers with severe anger building up inside of him.
Paildramon looks down at the remote control and was now going to make the ultimate choice. Would he destroy the artificial or let her go?
"Izzy, although you made the remote control and worked hard to perfect it, I'm sorry," Davis said in Paildramon's thoughts.
Sonja stares at him wide-eyed. Paildramon pulls his leg up, brings it down and crushes the controller with one stomp. Sonja gasps in shock at what she saw. The controller smokes under his foot.
"Sonja you shouldn't even be here. Go now. Don't let Virus absorb you. Please don't stay here. You can sneak off the island and we can lead the way! Ugh… Why are we doing this, Davis?"
The artificials look over to them and Sonja is just as confused as ever.
"Why? Why did you break the controller? That's the only way that you could have destroyed me."
Paildramon lowers his head and stares right at the ground below him.
Ken and TK couldn't believe at what they just saw. They were now angered at what Paildramon just did to the remote control.
"Great! There goes our plan! He destroyed the remote!" TK said.
"Why in the world would Davis do something like that?! He knows that both worlds are at stake here," Ken growled under his breath.
"Get lost, Dimitri! Why don't you save the time of standing in my way to help me find Sonja?" asked Virus.
"There's no need to find Sonja now."
"What?!"
"You will be destroyed by my hand only."
"What did you say?! You're still so damn arrogant!"
Virus flies forward with a punch, but Angemon X quickly dodges, grabs the monster's arm and knees him hard in the stomach. Virus cries out in pain and holds his stomach. He then kicks Virus down, but Virus catches himself in mid-air.
"Dimitri! You better get out of his way, dammit," growled Metalla X.
Virus revives himself and goes flying into another direction in hopes to escaping Angemon X. But Angemon X gets ahead of him and blocks out his path yet again. Virus stops and looks at him with an angry look on his face.
"I said I would kill you right here. Go out to fight squarely or are you too afraid of facing a warrior of my caliber, Virus?!"
"Dimitri! I asked you to stop! Now let him through!" Metalla X cried out.
Virus growls, then jumps back and throws a ki-blast right at Angemon X. Angemon X easily bats it away with ease and it explodes right into the water below.
"Father once told me my strength was similar to his. With your existing power, you can't even lay a hand on me. Don't even attempt it!"
Virus turns around and cries out in a horribly whiny voice.
"Hey Yamato!! Stop this bastard son of yours!"
Just then, he quickly looks down and his eyes widen at what he was looking at. Right down below him was none other than the artificials along with Paildramon. He has his eyes locked onto Sonja. Her back was to them. A smile formed across his face. His mouth gapes open.
"Ahhh!! Sonja! I've got you now!!"
Angemon X follows his line of sight and sees what Virus was staring at. He looked down to see the artificials along with Paildramon. He gasped in horror and couldn't believe it.
"Oh no!! The artificials!! They're here on the island and Paildramon is with them!!"
Just as everything was going according to plan, things have now turned for the worst. Paildramon has destroyed the remote control and now has put Sonja at risk of being discovered and absorbed. But what they don't realize is that from high above, Virus is looking down with dark and cruel intentions! Will he absorb Sonja to complete his full evolution?
