Max: Hey, guys! We'll make this short and sweet. SSJ4T has told me that his plans on the YuGiOh/Tamers/Frontier crossover series are underway. Anyway, the first chapter of that mini-series should be posted sometime before Thanksgiving week.
Keke: So, in the meantime, we've got plenty of more Digimon Fusion action! The D-Reaper Saga is underway!
Coral: So, without further ado, let's get on with the fic. Enjoy!

D-Reaper's Rampage Begins! Shintomon is in Despair!
Digital World
[Metallica "Sad But True" plays]
There was a sudden cloud of dust flying over a motionless rocky area. The two fusion warriors land opposite on each side, with dark Metalla X on the right hand corner and Omega X on the left side. The dust clears away as they watch each other. Omega X's right arm hangs limply in front of his body, but his left arm was pulled back as if he were ready to punch. He looks really beaten up and was panting. Electricity flickers from his aura. Metalla X was not in much good shape either. He holds both fists up in a fighting pose while his breathing was labored.
They were staring over at each other for a few moments, just before Metalla X goes lunging forward at his adversary. As soon as Omega X was about to intercept his attack, his eyes go widen all of a sudden and looks off to the left hand side. He throws up a hand.
"Matt! Wait!"
Metalla X promptly stops and gasps. He couldn't understand why Omega X would stop the fight all of a sudden and was curious.
"Its a ki. A huge ki has just appeared."
Metalla X looks off into the same direction as Omega X. The fusion warrior of courage was holding up his fists angrily.
"So its out already! That must be D-Reaper! It's pretty damn obvious now! What a tremendous power!"
Metalla X slowly lands, not looking away from D-Reaper's direction. As soon as both of his feet touch the ground, he grins. Omega X looks over at him and notices Metalla X beginning to laugh. Omega X watches curiously while he continues laughing. Finally he stops and begins to explain his reasoning of laughing.
"I wondered how strong D-Reaper would be, but I thought it would be at about this level. We've gotten too strong, Tai. We've become ultimately strong. Did even once you think that Shintomon, who is supposed to be the ultimate power, was good?"
As he continues, Omega X looks away from behind him back towards D-Reaper's direction.
"It was opposite. He was surprised by our strength," Metalla X rambles on, "So D-Reaper may look like a fearful opposition to Shintomon, but would look like nothing to us."
"N-No! You're wrong! There's something abnormal about his ki!"
"Don't you even try to talk your way through this! I won't allow you to run from this fight!"
"Matt! You should have realized this yourself."
Metalla X glares over at him as more dust started to pick up around their positions.
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Ground level.
[Majin Buu's english background theme plays]
D-Reaper was tapping her foot impatiently while Dark Magimon starts to slowly approach her. The evil sorcerer points to himself as if letting D-Reaper know who he really is.
"Hey, D-Reaper! I-I'm Dark Magimon. I'm the son of Black Magimon, who created you. It's been a long time since you were sealed in that sphere."
D-Reaper stops tapping, opens her eyes and looks down at Dark Magimon. The sorcerer smiles and holds up his hands defensively.
"I'm your master from now on."
D-Reaper stares over at him with narrow eyes and Magimon's eyes go widen for a second, then he begins laughing nervously. D-Reaper turns around, crossing her arms and turning her back on the sorcerer.
"Hey! What's wrong?! I'm greeting you, you should greet me back!"
He runs up towards D-Reaper while shaking his fists into the air angrily. D-Reaper looks away and Magimon runs over to the other side, which causes D-Reaper to turn away again.
"Hey, I'm talking to you! I'm your master! Hey, D-Reaper!"
Suddenly, D-Reaper hunches over and starts growling. Dark Magimon takes a few cautious steps to her side.
"Hey! What the hell is wrong with you, D-Reaper?"
But, D-Reaper's growling continues. She bobs her head up, before her growling got even louder. D-Reaper quickly turns around with her hands over her mouth and makes a scary face with her eyes bulging almost out of her sockets and her tongue sticking right out. Dark Magimon gasps and his eyes nearly pop right out of his head. He goes falling backwards while D-Reaper was making more funny faces. She then turns around and giggles to herself.
Dark Magimon quickly makes it up to his feet while King Devimon was stepping up towards his side. He glares right over to the D-Reaper.
"Ha. She's nothing but a fool."
Celesta X, Rika and Taomon were looking on with confusion on their faces.
"What is it doing?" asked Celesta X.
Shintomon was simply glaring over towards D-Reaper with a mix of fear and anger.
Dark Magimon looks angrily up towards D-Reaper, while making it onto his feet again.
"What nerve!"
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
"It is difficult to say why, but its transformation could have been incomplete," said King Devimon, "I had high hopes for this D-Reaper, but this deformed version is nothing more than a waste and an idiot."
D-Reaper looks right over towards the demon, no longer smiling.
"Hm? Aww, what's wrong? Do you have a problem to what I just said?"
D-Reaper turns all the way around and throws her fists into the air, screaming. Then, D-Reaper began hopping around on one foot all around each side. She comes right in front of King Devimon.
"Do you want to fight me then?"
D-Reaper doesn't answer, but simply looks over at her new enemy with a smile.
"You don't know that you'll die," replied King Devimon, "That's why you are a fool."
D-Reaper still doesn't respond, only smiling.
Celesta X looks right over towards Shintomon as if she were going to ask him a question.
"It seems that D-Reaper was a failure, Shintomon?"
"You think so? This is how D-Reaper acts."
D-Reaper began to get angry as steam starts coming out from the sides of her head. King Devimon doesn't take his eye off of D-Reaper and takes notice of her steam.
"Huh?"
D-Reaper releases more steam, as it became more of a teakettle sound. Its smile now widens into a grin as her eyes glare over and she looks sadistically over to King Devimon. Celesta X and Taomon's eyes widen and they gasp at what was now about to happen next.
"Hmph! That was a stupid attempt to scare me!"
Suddenly, D-Reaper pulls back her hand and drives it straight into King Devimon's face. The demon gasps in surprise and was unable to dodge it. D-Reaper's fingers plunge into the demon's eyes and she gouges them out. Dark Magimon cries out in surprise. Celesta X, Rika, Taomon and Shintomon look on with silent horror. King Devimon grabs his face and howls in tremendous pain, his hands covering his now-empty eye sockets. D-Reaper yells excitedly and begins to giggle as she bounces up and down on her right foot. King Devimon staggers forward, still groaning in pain, and goes to swipe at D-Reaper. D-Reaper easily dodges and phases right next to him. D-Reaper goes up from right behind and as soon as King Devimon turned back around, D-Reaper delivers a devastating hard kick to King Devimon. Dark Magimon gasps and barley ducks away from a flying King Devimon. The demon flies overhead and hits the ground, bouncing right through the dust several times before coming to rest at a cliff side. A dust cloud hides behind him while Celesta simply looks on with shock. The same can go for Taomon and Rika. Shintomon's expression still hasn't changed, but his body starts to tremble a little.
Dark Magimon climbs back to his feet with his eyes widened as ever and his mouth hanging open making gasping noises. The dust clears away and the King of the Devimons was laying face down, embedded by tons of rocks. D-Reaper lands back down with on her tiptoes. She applauds 'herself' smiling. Dark Magimon stares over at the fallen demon.
"That was spec-spec-spectacular!! You're incredible, D-Reaper! You easily defeated King Devimon!"
D-Reaper simply ignores him, but continues to bounce around on one foot and hums in triumph. Celesta X and Taomon were both looking on stunned.
"D-Reaper's ki suddenly exploded! Its incredible," exclaimed Celesta X, "Its too incredible! I can't believe it!"
Shintomon stands next to them looking on and he looked like as if he were about to regurgitate by the sickening display of the D-Reaper.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
Omega X and Metalla X stared on in amazement in the direction of D-Reaper as more dust wind comes by them.
"Its ki energy suddenly went up," said Omega X, "D-Reaper is not what you expected."
Metalla X simply stares off in shock with his eyes twitching. He didn't want to admit it but was no starting to worry about the D-Reaper's presence.
***************************************************************************************
Southern gates of Zhuqiaomon
The group all stopped for a moment as the digimon all turned around to feel the presence of the D-Reaper. Buddamon's eyes widened in shock over what he had just felt.
"What is it guys?" asked Takato.
"Its what we feared! Its the D-Reaper!" exclaimed Buddamon, "The D-Reaper has been released out of its seal and it just made it first attack!"
"Oh no! Rika, Kari and Shintomon are still over there! The D-Reaper will kill them if we don't do something quick!" Takato exclaimed.
"I'm ready whenever you are, Takatomon!"
"No! Wait, D-Reaper had just attacked King Devimon and has taken him out of the equation. It seems that the D-Reaper was prematurely been released and might not even obey Dark Magimon just as we expected."
"So, are you saying that we should just let this one slide and continue our walk towards Zhuqiaomon's lair?" asked Leomon.
"Yes. But I'm going to let one of you attempt to go over there and lend those three a hand against the D-Reaper."
"Then I should be the one to go. Since I'm the strongest of the group," TK said, "Patamon and I will go investigate."
"Then I'm coming as well," Takato said.
"No. We may need you just in case Zhuqiaomon decides to attack us. After all, I'm nowhere near Zhuqiaomon's level without Shintomon," Buddamon said, "Don't worry. I am sure Rika will be fine, for now, Takato."
"He's right. She's a pretty tough gal. They don't call her the Digimon Queen for nothing," said Henry.
"Please, we might really need your help," Jeri replied, "Rika has Kari, Renamon and Shintomon backing her up. Don't worry."
"You're right. Ok, I agree with the terms. TK, do make sure that Rika and Renamon are fine."
"I will Takato, you have my word," the blonde-haired young man replied.
"I'm ready whenever you are, TK," Patamon said.
"Good luck to you, Takeru. Safe journey," Buddamon stated.
"Right! Time to fusion evolve, Patamon!"
["Target Akai Shougeki" plays]
TK's D-3 started to glow and it quickly gave Angemon more power and TK quickly turns into a mass of data. Angemon spreads his arms out as he accepts the spirit of TK's data.
"Angemon!! Fusion evolve!!"
They both soon became a massive ball of energy and the feather wings were quickly being replaced by metallic blade-wings. His helmet soon disappeared and gave away to a more cybernetic headpiece decorated with yellow eyes glowing out, not to mention more armor on his body. But it seemed as though this armor was not even heavy at all. Then a sword shaped like a lighting bolt appeared in his hands. He twists it around and then gets into a fighting stance with a electrical bolts striking his body and giving him more energy than he needs.
"War Angemon!!"
The Tamers all looked on in awe at what had just occurred. Takato, Henry, Kazu, Kenta and Jeri were all looking on speechless.
"Man, that is like one of the coolest things I have ever seen," said Kazu.
"I wish I had one of those," said Kenta.
"I better be heading out my friends," said War Angemon, "I bid you good luck with the sovereign."
"You becareful, War Angemon," Leomon said, "Don't worry about us. We can pretty much hand this."
"Wow, cool suit," said Terriermon, "Hey, Henry. Are you ever going to merge with me? Not like I'm rushing you or anything."
"Time will tell, Terriermon," the blue-haired boy said. "Though, it would be a scary thought."
"Wow this is incredible. I don't understand why Zhuqiaomon would be against this. These fusion warriors might just be what we need to defeat the D-Reaper. I always told my master never to make any deals with Dark Magimon. That crafty sorcerer can't be trusted. Well, its time Zhuqiaomon gets a dose of reality,"Lopmon said to herself.
As soon as War Angemon flew out from the southern quadrant and headed out towards the skies above, Buddamon got his group together and they were making their way over towards the castle of Zhuqiaomon. It would be only a matter of moments before they would come face to face with the human-loathing super being himself.
Takato looks down at the ground as Jeri took notice of him.
"You ok, Takato?"
"Yeah, just worried about Rika and the others."
"Don't worry. She'll be fine. She's a tough gal. All you need to worry is facing this sovereign. Okay? No more being down on yourself."
"You're right. I shouldn't be worried. This is Rika we are talking about. I'm sure her and the others are doing just fine!"
"The same can go for Davis. I haven't heard anything from him yet. I hope he's doing alright as well," Sonja thought.
"Yo, what's biting you, Sonja?" Kazu asked.
"Yeah, what gives?" Guardromon said.
Sonja simply turns around and continues to walk along with the group while heading towards the gateways of the digimon sovereign of the south quadrant.
War Angemon was flying across the landscape while picking up the energy signals from Celesta X and D-Reaper. They were over in the northern section. He would have to get there as soon as possible before any harm comes to them.
"Just hang in there, Kari! I'm on my way. Plus I promised Takato to check on Rika. I just wonder how they are going to fare against the D-Reaper. I wonder what this D-Reaper looks like. Well there's no time to ask myself questions. Time is of essence here,"TK said to himself in War Angemon's thoughts.
***************************************************************************************
Elsewhere within the Digital World
[Puddle in the Mudd "Control" plays]
Omega X flies back and lands. He quickly leaps into the air again, but the ground that he was standing on was quickly shattered away. Metalla X lands in the new dust cloud and lunges at Omega X, screaming. He pulls back his arm to punch, but Omega X catches it. When Omega X counters with a punch of his own, Metalla X catches that one and they are locked with one another, while holding each other's fists.
"Matt! We shouldn't be doing this! We're responsible for that monster's release!"
"Why should I care?! That has nothing to do with our fight!"
"It will kill everyone we know. Both in our world and the two digital worlds! Everyone! That also includes Mimi and Dimitri!"
Metalla X struggles with that for a second and then screams out.
"SHUT UP!!"
He goes to knee Omega X hard in the midsection.
"Shut up!!"
He pulls back his arm and elbows Omega X in the face.
"SHUT UP!!"
Omega X goes flying back, but quickly catches himself. Metalla X chases right after him and the fight begins again a few yards back.
"I allowed myself to be charmed by Dark Magimon in order to get rid of that weakness!"
As soon as he speaks, Metalla X goes on with a punch offensive, but Omega X manages to dodge each hit.
"I don't care what happens to anyone!"
He finishes with one more strong punch that Omega X was able to catch.
"You liar!!"
This quickly catches Metalla X by surprise.
"You are lying, damn it!!"
Omega X punches Metalla X right in the face and sends Metalla X falling back. He crashes into the ground, causing a huge indention into the ground. Omega X stands over him while Metalla X was slowly getting to his knees and angrily glares up at him.
"You didn't completely sell your soul."
Metalla X stands up and spits some blood to the side. He wipes more blood from his chin, but leaves his fist to cover most of his face, glaring at Omega X over his arm. They stare at each other, and, finally, Metalla X drops his hand. He turns towards Omega X, grinning.
"I understand. We're just putting off this fight. It looks like you're more worried about D-Reaper than concentrating on this fight."
"Matt! Alright!"
Metalla X holds out his hand.
"Give me some of your energy. I could use it, since we're going to need as much power to fight this thing."
"Sure thing, Matt. I'm so glad that you finally came to your senses!"
As soon as Omega X turns to place his hand over his chest, while Metalla X was walking up from behind him.
"If we can work together, I'm sure we can defeat D-Reaper," said Omega X.
Metalla X quickly clenches his fist and then holds it out with his other arm, as if he were about to hit a baseball. Omega X smiles as he began to absorb some of his own power, in order to transfer it to Metalla X. But then, Metalla X executes a forearm smash to the back of Omega X's head. He cries out in surprise and pain, as his eyes widen and his mouth hanging open. He falls to the ground, quickly de-evolving back into Tai and Agumon. They both land with a thud and looked just about out of it. Metalla X stands over them with his arms held up.
"Even you had to let your guard down when you got tired."
He reaches down and begins absorbing some of Tai's former crest energy. He stares at his body, which began to glow with a golden aura and it explodes with a metallic blue aura instead. The new aura had more sparks of electricity running through it. The recovery alone causes his strength to jump, which causes him to release a small shockwave that blows dust around him. He then looks right down at the two fallen heroes.
"I let D-Reaper loose. I'll take care of it."
He then stakes a few steps away, stops but doesn't look back at Tai.
"I'll finish the fight with you later…"
He looks back with a grin on his grin.
"…If I'm still alive that is…"
***************************************************************************************
Dark Magimon's ship. Ground level.
[Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays]
Celesta X, Taomon and Rika all stare out in fear and amazement at D-Reaper. Shintomon was just about the same way.
"Incredible! Just incredible! Well, D-Reaper, you have to do what I tell you. I'm your new master!"
D-Reaper looks over at the sorcerer hold her holds up to her face and stick her tongue out at him. Dark Magimon angrily glares, clenching his teeth. D-Reaper waves her hands at Dark Magimon.
"Do you think that you can rebel against me?"
D-Reaper suddenly stops for a moment with a confused look on her face.
"I studied my father's notes. I've memorized the spell that will imprison you in the sphere."
"Huh?"
"I bet you don't want to go back in there right?"
"Eh?"
D-Reaper quickly straightens out her face, smiling. She bows, while Dark Magimon looks on laughing.
"Alright! That's what I wanted to see!"
"Shintomon… It looks like D-Reaper is still a child," said Rika, "If we kill Dark Magimon, maybe he won't be so bad."
Shintomon looks right over towards them with a serious look on his face.
"That won't work, Rika! Without Dark Magimon, we won't be able to re-imprison D-Reaper!"
The Supreme guardian looks back towards Dark Magimon and D-Reaper, watching the two reconcile their differences.
"D-Reaper is a terrible monster despite its appearance. Eventually, Dark Magimon won't be able to control D-Reaper and he will have to return it back into the sphere. We'll have to wait until then. Theres nothing I can do, and I'm a Supreme guardian. I'm higher than the sovereigns themselves. I hate myself. I shouldn't have allowed this to happen! I was sure that we could have defeated Dark Magimon and prevent D-Reaper's resurrection. If I'd known that your fusion warriors surpassed my power, we could have used that other method, too!"
"That other method?" asked Celesta X.
"No, it's too late. We won't be able to escape D-Reaper. Neither of us will survive!"
Celesta X quickly turns around to face him and clenches her fists.
"What are you talking about?! The least we can do it get away from here!"
Dark Magimon points out towards Shintomon and the others, while D-Reaper looked up curiously. Shintomon looks down gasping in shock.
"Alright! D-Reaper, this is your first mission! Kill those four!"
Shintomon's eyes go wide and he gasps. Celesta X's expression was much similar. Rika and Taomon were just stunned, period. D-Reaper takes a step forward, throwing her arms into the air, and begins screaming out like a little girl. Celesta X turns and quickly snatches Shintomon by the air. Taomon does the same by grabbing Rika.
"We have to get out of here now!" exclaimed Celesta X.
"Good call!" replied Rika, "Lets get the hell out of here, Taomon!"
"I'm with you!"
The digimon's aura flared up as they flew across the skies and were traveling over such a long distance away from the area that D-Reaper was standing. They were now long gone within the distance. D-Reaper smiles as she watches them flee.
"We'll be alright! I'm pretty confident on my speed," said Celesta X.
"You okay, Rika?"
"Yeah. I think so. I should be fine."
Dark Magimon angrily shakes his fists right over at D-Reaper and began scolding her.
"What the hell are you doing, D-Reaper?! They're getting away!"
D-Reaper leans forward with one leg back as if she were about to do a sprint and suddenly rockets herself into the air, throwing up a huge cloud of dust. Dark Magimon hacks and coughs, then finally looks up and sees that everyone was gone.
"Huh? Where did everyone go?!"
D-Reaper raced through the air. She quickly gains right on them, and they both looked back. They see nobody behind them and shifted their focus ahead again. Their eyes go widen in disbelief. Suddenly D-Reaper stopped right in front of the group. D-Reaper makes a face and the digimon stare at her in stunned horror.
"That's impossible!!"
"How did it do that?!"
Shintomon gasps in complete shock and watches as D-Reaper pulls back an arm.
"You two die!!"
Celesta X and Taomon watch on still stunned by D-Reaper's speed and doesn't make an attempt to move away. They both get smashed in the head by D-Reaper's fists. The two digimon go flying down and plummeted to the ground below. Taomon was able to hold onto Rika on the way down and Celesta X landed hard and lies next to them. Both were now buried by tons of rock.
Shintomon cries out in fear and shock. He turns away from the digimon team and then back to D-Reaper, who floats just above him with her arms and legs spread. Unable to fight or escape, Shintomon simply stares in horror with wide eyes and a gaping mouth.
Is there any escape from D-Reaper's deadly rampage? The losses are now beginning and can Shintomon put a stop to the D-Reaper?
