Digital World. Former Site of Magimon's Ship
Smoke rises out of a nearby, newly made crater. Wind starts to blow across the desolent landscape. A huge battle was occurring between both D-Reaper and Metalla X.
Rob Zombie "Never Gonna Stop me" plays
Metalla X rushes forward himself and when he nears D-Reaper, he pulls back his right arm and delivers a strong punch to D-Reaper's face. He follows up with another one with his left arm, then a kick with his left leg to the back of the head. D-Reaper falls face down on the ground and slides through the dirt, her back bending and her feet hanging up over her head. Her lower half falls back to the ground with a loud crash. Dark Magimon looks on with shock.
"Wh-What's going on! What are you doing to my D-Reaper!"
Metalla X lands a few feet away from D-Reaper, who still hasn't moved. A little bit of dust drifts out from all directions around D-Reaper.
"A-Amazing! Metalla X is incredibly strong!" said Dinobeemon.
War Angemon simply looks with a slight grin on his face and throws his fist into the air.
"Way to go, Matt! That's the way! Get it some more!"
Imperialdramon was a little less enthusiastic about the prospect of the now super-powered Metalla X. He clenches his fists as he glares down at the battlefield.
"Even he… Even Metalla X has managed to surpass the limits of a fusion warrior!"
D-Reaper staggers back up on her feet. She looks up to see Metalla X already attacking again, before D-Reaper has even had a chance to rid herself of the impact marks from Metalla X's previous assault. With a shout, Metalla X kicks her hard in the head and her face is basically caved in from the force of the kick. D-Reaper starts to fall back when Metalla X elbows him hard in the face. D-Reaper falls with her head planted in the dirt and her feet sticking up from above him almost completely vertical. Metalla X slides backwards as he lands in a crouching position, pulling his hand back through the dirt. He uses that position to launch himself forward again and buries his knee in D-Reaper's stomach. D-Reaper rolls head over heels backward and Metalla X races forward once again, not letting up for a second.
While watching the fight, Imperialdramon was taking a quick observation of Metalla X's new speed and strength. He was surprised at this turn of events.
"He's stronger than before. He's at least as strong as Celesta X was against Virus, and probably stronger."
While he was talking to himself, Metalla X starts appearing at various spots around D-Reaper, always with barrages of punches aimed at the head, and from different angles at a time. There was a punch to the face, a knee to the gut, a kick to the face, and so forth.
"But even Celesta X was defeated by D-Reaper. We don't know what's happened to Tai. Metalla X is the only one who has a chance fighting against D-Reaper."
Metalla X delivers a strong punch with his left arm to D-Reaper that lifts D-Reaper off the ground.
"It's not just the two digital worlds but even our own world! You can't fail us now! The three worlds all depend on you, Matt!"
Metalla X goes rushing forward again, this time attacking with such speed that not even the naked eye can see the individual hits. There is rather a faint blur and a new dent in D-Reaper appears. There are four of those in various spots and D-Reaper stumbles backward. Metalla X's first skims over the ground. He pulls it up and into D-Reaper's face, still leaving a trail through D-Reaper's chin.
D-Reaper is quickly launched into the sky. Metalla X watches for a moment and quickly phases out. D-Reaper bursts through a layer of clouds and Metalla X emerges right besides her, rising higher and glaring down at D-Reaper. Metalla X pulls back both fists back over his head, cupping one hand around the other, and brings them down together for a hard impact on D-Reaper's face. Once again, the hit itself is just a blur, and there's a new dent in D-Reaper's face. D-Reaper plummets to the ground.
Metalla X appears behind his head, pulls back and throws a strong kick. As the kick is thrown, there was an impact that sent out shockwaves around two dots in the very far distance. The two dots descend within the ground and a loud crash was heard as a result.
Dark Magimon's eyes widen and he's completely stunned beyond belief.
"D-Reaper! There's no way my D-Reaper can lose!"
Just then, dust rises from D-Reaper's crater and there are several rocks falling down into the deep pit.
Imperialdramon watches in complete silence just as Rika was.
"Awesome!" exclaimed Dinobeemon.
War Angemon was basically smiling while holding up a fist in sheer delight.
"Matt did it! He did it! Looks like we've won! Not even D-Reaper stood a chance against my brother!"
Suddenly, a large rock goes falling down into the deep pit and the rock drops onto D-Reaper.
"So, did you guys see just how strong he was?" asked War Angemon.
"Yeah, incredible! He's the only one to make an actual hit on the D-Reaper so far," said Rika, "I hope that lasts much longer."
Suddenly, all is silent except for a small rock falling into the dark abyss of the crater. D-Reaper's arms sticks out of the rocks. She catches the falling rock and crushes it in her hand. Metalla X glares silently ahead as he waits for D-Reaper. Soon enough, a large boulder shatters and D-Reaper flips right of the hole. She lands right in front of Metalla X, still spotting the marks from Metalla X's hits. She puffs out her face and the marks disappear. Then she does for the stomach, legs and arms.
"Huh! What the hell?" Dinobeemon asked himself.
D-Reaper finishes clearing up all of the marks. Dark Magimon looks on laughing maniacally.
"Way to go, D-Reaper! Now it's your turn! Get Yamato!"
He points over towards Metalla X as he yells. D-Reaper begins to hop on foot, then on the other, yelling, just as he did before.
Metalla X takes a half-step back while clenching his fists tightly and holds up his right hand, palm out towards D-Reaper. D-Reaper stops hopping and bends over, smiling and looking from side to side. Electricity cracks through Metalla X's aura. He glares at D-Reaper from behind his outstretched right arm. The sky begins to darken, neither of them moves.
"Go get him, Matt!" exclaimed War Angemon.
Metalla X charges up his ki and his stronger aura throws up more dust around him against an increasingly dark sky. D-Reaper simply watches with a combination of both fear and confusion. Metalla X finally fires a single ki blast. D-Reaper's eyes go widen and screams when it hits. The blast tears a hole right in her midsection and continues on. D-Reaper flips backwards several times through the air before landing on her back and sliding back to a stop on his head. Dark Magimon gasps at what he was seeing. D-Reaper's feet stick up into the air once again, but this time there's a gaping hole in the middle of her body. She falls over and lands face first in the dirt.
Imperialdramon clenches his fists, throws his head back and howls excitedly.
"Yeah!"
"Oh yeah! He did it!" said War Angemon, "I told you that he could finish the job!"
Rika sighs a relief while watching War Angemon raising his fists into the air. Dinobeemon was just as excited and surprised.
"He did it. I can't believe it," he said.
"Incredible. Looks like the threat is over for good," replied Rika.
Smoke starts to rise out of D-Reaper's gaping hole while Metalla X's arm remains outstretched. After several more seconds, he lowers his arm and grins. Dark Magimon falls to his knees, while crying to himself so that everybody could hear.
"This can not be happening! Not to my D-Reaper! She was defeated too soon!"
On the ground, D-Reaper was lying motionless, still with the freshly gaped hole through her midsection. He lies motionless for a few moments, until that is her fists start to move about. She then clenches both fists.
War Angemon was the first to notice this as he ended his celebration abruptly and his hopes of finding Kari was too late.
"What the hell is going on here?" Rika asked.
Metalla X watches as D-Reaper slowly climbs back onto her feet with a huge hole cut cleanly through her stomach. Her eyes start to narrow in anger. She sticks out her stomach and the hole disappears. Her body was now healed after this course of action. She looks side to side, then to Metalla X and then straight up. Metalla X stares at him. D-Reaper looks back at Metalla X, smiling.
"That only hurt a little..."
"What are you! Immortal!"
While laughing to himself manically, Dark Magimon hops back and forth from one foot to the other, throwing his fists into the air.
"Way to go, D-Reaper! Kill him! Kill Yamato!"
Just then, D-Reaper hunches over with a deep breath and crosses his arms at about the waist in front of his chest. Metalla X watches him silently. D-Reaper groans and the dark sky began to transform into a faint red and pink as a result of D-Reaper's glowing aura that was forming.
Earth. West Shinjuku Dragon Hotel
Unknown to what was taking place in the Digital World, the remaining Digi-Destined were heading out to Izzy's hotel room. They had gotten lost form a short while, but received help from one of the employees working there. The digimon were well-fed, which meant that the Destined didn't need to feed them for a while.
"That food should at least keep us fill for a while," Biyomon said. "How's your stomach, Gomamon?"
"Ugh. Don't remind me. You call that crap food?"
"Well, at least we're not in the military. Just think, you have it good. They only get to eat a certain number of meals. How would you like it if you were to eat cornbread for days?"
"Joe. I can't see myself going through with routine. It sucks. How do you know all this stuff?"
"I read about it, plus I looked it up online…"
"Figures. Anybody can just post made-up crap," Gomamon stated.
"It wasn't fake crap! I read it from a book…"
Suddenly, Mimi felt a sharp pain in her chest. It wasn't the food coming back to give her heart burn, but it had a more emotional vibe to it. She feared that something was taking place in the Digital World and it most likely involved Matt. Yolei took notice of her state of shock and pats Mimi on the shoulder.
"Mimi? Are you okay?"
"I felt something piercing my heart."
"It's heart burn, isn't it? I knew that food was shit!"
"No. I can't describe it, but I think something is happening in the Digital World. I feel as if Matt were fighting this powerful force alone."
"Matt?" Sora asked. "You think so? You know, I've been having this same feeling for Tai. We're connected to them. That's why we can feel their emotion."
"Yes. Matt is fighting a powerful force. I don't know what to make of it…"
"Mimi? What powerful force are you saying?" Palmon asked. "Don't forget that Matt and Tai are our two lead guys. They can take care of themselves…"
"I know, but I just can't stop to realize that Matt is in pain…"
"Mimi…"
"Is he really going to repent for every sin he's committed? Yamato, are you willing to fight this force alone? You're not alone. We're right behind you."
Zhuqiaomon's Lair
The fiery sovereign of the south watches was the newly evolved Mega Gargomon was standing right before him. What angered the sovereign other than humans was humans and digimon merging together in battle.
"One Vision" plays
"I can not allow this abomination to continue! Shall put an end to this!"
The area within the lair started to shake and the rooftop was crumbling. Mega Gargomon makes his first attack.
"Come on! You want a piece of us! Bring it on!"
"Indeed I will! Phoenix Fire!"
Mega Gargomon watches on but was able to maneuver away from the fiery blast. He then goes to attack Zhuqiaomon with several martial arts moves. He delivers a front kick, then two side kicks and then a spinning back wheel kick. Zhuqiaomon cried out and was about to whip out another set of attacks.
"Take this you ignorant, human! I am the sovereign! I shall not be defeated! Double Helix Flame!"
Zhuqiaomon spreads out his wings and several fireballs come shooting out Mega Gargomon watches the fireballs trail by and delivers kick to dissipate each of them. This caught Zhuqiaomon by surprise.
"If you done already, I do believe that it's our time! Take this! Burst Shot!"
The newly fused bio-merged mega started firing away at the godly-powered digimon with a barrage of blast shots. Never has the sovereign been rattled by such power before but now was feeling its effects.
"And to top it off! We got a little present for you! Gargo Missile!"
The mega unleashes two missiles that came shooting from each cannon head on top of his shoulders. Zhuqiamon watched as the missiles were coming by, plus they were smiling. They were able to successfully knock Zhuqiaomon down as his fiery aura faded away.
"Heh and you call us pathetic? We did it Henry!"
"Thank goodness…"
"Momentai…"
The Tamers and the others, who had escaped out of the lair, were watching on from the edge of a cliff. Another hole was cracking on the ground and it swallowed away Zhuqiaomon as a result. Mega Gargomon floats back down and looks over towards the others.
"So how did we do?"
"Yeah! We just beat him! We did it!" said Takato.
"Way to go!" Jeri exclaimed.
"Hmmm, but we still didn't get any information concerning Calumon. Aw well, I guess that will make Zhuqiaomon learn about underestimating the power of the humans," Buddamon said.
Mega Gargomon landed right back as they quickly de-evolved back into Terriermon and Henry.
"We were quite an awesome team there, Terriermon! That blast really did him in," said Henry.
"You bet! I was so looking forward to shutting that turkey's mouth! But we really didn't get what we wanted. No answer concerning Calumon."
"Well, we have ourselves a mission to continue. Calumon has to be around here somewhere," stated Buddamon.
"Wow! This is incredible! I saw TK and Patamon fuse into a super being. Is that the digital fusion that they speak of? Now I just witnessed the same happen for Terriermon and his Tamer,"Lopmon said to herself. "If that's possible and after what Mega Gargomon just did, then these fusion warriors as the most powerful beings. They could even overpower the Sovereign."
Suddenly, there was a deep laughter heard as a fiery blast came shooting out of the hole. Terriermon and Henry both looked on with horror as Zhuqiamon was flying out without a single scratch on him.
"Ha! Ha! Is that the best you maggots got?"
"No! How is he still kicking," Takato asked frantically
"Don't you realize it by now! I'm a sovereign! You're futile efforts were useless! Now prepare to meet you fate!"
The group could only look on with sheer shock and anger running through their face. Henry and Terriermon were visibly the most upset at the fact that not even their mega fusion form, Mega Gargomon, was able to put him away. It was now going to take something drastic to put the mighty Zhuqiaomon.
Digital World. Former Site of Magimon's Ship
Final Fantasy VII "Sephiroth's theme" plays
D-Reaper remains in the same position, but quickly takes on a spherical red aura. A very low cloud of dust is thrown up around the aura. Metalla X does nothing as D-Reaper was glaring at him.
"Subject: Metalla X shall be deleted..."
A strong wind begins to blow. Rather than just a red aura, a purple light flickers all around D-Reaper and waves of red-purple light flow out around her. The dust cloud begins to pick up and Metalla X assumes a defensive stance. The group on the cliff watches on as D-Reaper powers up whatever she's got coming.
"What is it trying to do," Rika asked.
The others could only look on with fear, but don't say anything. There were waves of light given off by D-Reaper flies right past them.
"What are you trying to do?" Dark Magimon asked frantically.
D-Reaper opens her eyes, once again glaring over at Metalla X.
"You are to be deleted…"
Then from an outer space angle of the digital world, there were waves of light washing over an entire area on the digital world. The center from which they're all coming from began to glow brightly into a white-yellowish color. While further away, it faded to a dark pink and then into black.
Metalla X looks on gasping. The entire area starts to go dark. D-Reaper throws up her hands and her head back.
"I HATE YOU!"
Dark Magimon throws up his arms defensively and magically forms a barrier around him, similar to Taomon's own shield.
"Barrier!"
"Run and duck for cover guys!" exclaimed Imperialdramon.
The bright light shines on them from the direction of D-Reaper. Metalla X crosses his arms in front of his face, watching her. The dome of purple light flickers and begins expanding as an odd humming sound starts to pick up. Around the dome of light is a circle area, and beyond that, darkness. The dome continues expanding and then explodes in a blinding flash. Metalla X screams and is thrown back. Rocks start to quickly disintegrate. Dark Magimon yells as the explosion hits the barrier. There was an enormous beam of light flows from the dimensional plane field and into its outer far most space. It slowly began to fade away into a single bright point at the very center. Lighting around the digital world began to return to normal.
Soon, daylight was returning back over the battlefield. Large dust clouds were starting to move over a massive hole. D-Reaper was hovering in the air above the newly formed crater with her arms and legs stretched out. A yellow ball hovers by him and lands nearby. Inside of the ball was none other than Dark Magimon.
"Whew, that was to close for comfort, D-Reaper."
Imperialdramon quickly rises to his feet, sighing and looks out for everyone else.
"Is everyone alright!"
Dinobeemon throws a boulder off of himself and sighs as well.
"That was too dangerous. Where is everybody else?"
War Angemon pushes away another boulder and slides out. Rika comes crawling out of a small rock cavern with Renamon at her side. War Angemon goes landing right near Imperialdramon. Rika was watching over the injured Renamon.
"Renamon, are you still there? Speak to me…"
The neon-colored yellow fox responds with a little smirk across her face. This was certainly a good sigh and Rika was now convinced that Renamon was still alive and simply just resting after enduring a very harsh battle.
"Shintomon!" Imperialdramon calls out.
His voice manages to echo throughout the entire landscape, while War Angemon stares out over towards the crater with a shocked look.
"Matt! No!"
Metalla X sits up from the ground, while his hand was supporting him. Blood runs down his arm. His eyes were now beginning to move about while looking right up at D-Reaper. He climbs to his feet and takes a few steps forward, his right hand clutching his left arm.
"Damn, damn it! Not only is it strong, but it looks like its immortal too! Damn it!"
Dark Magimon watches on while chuckling within the ball.
"He thinks he's so tough, but not as tough as you are D-Reaper. If he hadn't rebelled against me, he would have made a good slave. That's too damn bad."
Dark Magimon deactivates his barrier and goes floating towards D-Reaper.
"No! Matt! You can't go dying on us!" exclaimed War Angemon.
Imperialdramon and the others could only look on with sudden shocks on their faces.
"I don't think even Metalla X will be able to defeat D-Reaper now! Kari is dead and even the watcher of the digital worlds, Shintomon is out. What's going to happen now?
"No! Not Matt! Matt isn't going to lose to that thing! There's no way!"
Imperialdramon glares in frustration down over to the battlefield.
D-Reaper lands several yards away from Metalla X. They glare over at each other.
"Subject analyzed: Metalla X. The fusion form of Yamato "Matt" Ishida and the digimon named Gabumon. You two are now to be deleted."
"What can I do! How can I defeat this monster!"
The Central Digiverse The Grand Digital Planet
Keke looks on through the viewing orb to witness the tides turning against Metalla X. She anticipated for the moment that he would recover from his cripping injury.
"He's not going to last much longer, X. It's only a matter of time before he dies…"
"Don't give up on him, Kek. He's your father. Don't forget that."
"Yeah, but it seems hopeless. Matt can't recover from a crippling injury like that. D-Reaper is going to delete him."
"Keke…"
"Father! Please, don't die!"
The girl's cries were enough to echo throughout the planet. X knew the time was soon about to come into realization. It was time for Matt to make his ultimate decision. He was to die with shame or die with honor. There was no other way around these two options. Matt will need to use any method necessary to destroy the D-Reaper.
Digital World. Former Site of Magimon's Ship
D-Reaper points out right over to Metalla X, as a blood mass appear in her hands. Metalla X growls angrily while clutching his injured arm. She then begins to stretch the ooze out.
"What a disgusting creature! What the hell does it think its doing!"
D-Reaper drops the strand with one hand and holds it up with his right hand.
"Don't mess with me!" exclaimed Metalla X.
D-Reaper begins running forward, while holding the hanging piece of slime. She suddenly stop and spits out a ki blast at Metalla X. Metalla X manages to phase right out of the way. D-Reaper begins running again and starts shooting out more ki blasts in quick succession while spinning the piece of slime. Metalla X dodges ki blast after ki blast. He smirks.
"Ha. I don't even have to open my eyes to avoid attacks like that! That was pathetic!"
Suddenly, D-Reaper opens her mouth and Metalla X gasps at what was coming out. Instead of a single ki-blast, an enormous ki blast erupts from the monster's mouth and as it flies forward, Metalla X phases out. It then explodes in a pink dome of light as Metalla X flies away. D-Reaper jumps back and then lobbed the piece of ooze at Metalla X. He gasps as it wraps tightly around his body as if it were a constrictor about to squeeze the life out of its prey. Metalla X drops out of the sky and plummets right down to the ground.
D-Reaper lands a few feet away, where Metalla X had landed. D-Reaper began to him to herself in triumph.
War Angemon could only gasp in shock at what had just happened and couldn't take it anymore. He wasn't just going to stand back and let his own brother about to get killed.
"No! This is bad," exclaimed Rika.
D-Reaper walks up over towards the fallen and tightly-wrapped Metalla X with a smile across her face. She jumps over him with his arms and legs out, then turns around and kicks Metalla X away. Metalla X goes flying back several yards and crashes into the ground.
Metalla X began to cough out a ton of blood after those impact hits. D-Reaper drops out of the sky and sits on top of him, causing tremors into the ground and bones breaking within Metalla X's body.
Imperialdramon clenches his fists, while the others growled under their breath. War Angemon was unable to contain his anger and was willing ready to go out to save his brother at any time.
"He'll be killed!" exclaimed Dinobeemon, "Where are Kari and Tai! Are they already dead!"
"No, Kari would never die that easily!" exclaimed War Angemon.
War Angemon was glaring over at D-Reaper, and Imperialdramon quickly took notice of this.
"TK! Don't you even think about it, buddy! Control yourself! If you attack, you'll just throw your own life away. All you'll do is result in your brother more suffering."
As he speaks, D-Reaper was now starting to pummel Metalla X away with a flurry of punches.
Suddenly, War Angemon screams and rushes out to go help his brother and stop the torture. Imperialdramon tried to stop him, but War Angemon already was way ahead.
"Hang on, Matt! Don't go dying on me! I can't lose you or Kari on the same day!"
Dark Magimon watches gleefully while D-Reapers continues beating up upon Metalla X. War Angemon charges forward with his fist outstretched as Metalla X coughs up more blood.
Metallica "Unforgiven" plays
War Angemon goes racing out towards his own brother, who was desperate of needing help at the most unfortunate time.
"TK! No!" Imperialdramon calls out, "No! Damn it!"
"Let him go!" said Dinobeemon, "That's his brother out there! I'd do the same thing if my brother were still around!"
"You're right."
"This is incredible! The two brothers are able to merge with their digimon? Wow, I wonder when Renamon and myself would ever merge. I doubt it though. All the others probably have something special about them that do not make me qualify for it. Oh well."
Dark Magimon looks on laughing as his father's creation was beating the living crap out of Metalla X. War Angemon screams as he charges forward, flying right past the evil sorcerer.
"What the hell was that! I thought I just saw a metallic angel fly right pass me!"
D-Reaper was now stomping away at a helpless, Metalla X. The fusion warrior grunts with each tremendous hit. D-Reaper suddenly looks up to the sound of a scream and sees War Angemon's foot nearing her face. War Angemon connects and sends D-Reaper sailing several hundred yards away through tons of rock formations nearby. War Angemon lands as he watches D-Reaper fly.
"Matt!"
War Angemon picks up one end of the ooze and pulls it right off of Metalla X and began to roll it away. As soon as he finished rolling the slime away, Metalla X was set free and was in pretty bad shape, with shallow breathing.
Dark Magimon watches the whole scene from a good distance away with an angry look on his face.
"Who was that! It's another one of those fusion idiots! I really didn't know there were more of them. Oh well, it really doesn't matter how many of them there are. They'll all end up the same way."
Back on the battlefield, Metalla X was finally freed from the constricting grip of the ooze. War Angemon kneels down at his brother's side with a horrified look on his face.
"Matt! Are you alright!"
Metalla X was unable to answer since he was just about nearly unconscious.
"Hang in there, Matt!"
War Angemon starts shaking around Metalla X's side, but he stops and watches as Metalla X was able to move his mouth.
"I know that you're not dead! You wouldn't even die from an attack like that!"
Tears start to well up in War Angemon's eyes as he began to speak again.
"You're my brother! Your second strongest to Omega X and you wouldn't let yourself be defeated by that stupid monster! It killed Kari and I loved her with my heart! I should have been there for her. But I can't lose you too! You're my brother and we're been through the adventures thick and thin!"
Metalla X managed to make a few faint labored breathing sounds and slowly opens his eyes. War Angemon gasps and leans over his brother.
"Matt! You're alright! Man, I though I was going to lose you!"
Metalla X turns his head and looks right over towards his own younger brother.
"T…T…TK?"
His open eyes came back into full focus and he looks up to see the smiling face of his own brother. He laughs, relieved. Metalla X sits up, trembling with pain. He holds his right hand up to his head and pushes War Angemon aside.
"What happened to the D-Reaper! Where is it!"
"Shit! So he's still alive!" Dark Magimon cursed. "It would have been a lot easier for him just to die the way he was. What an idiot. My D-Reaper has no equal. Now he can suffer with that damn angel!"
Dark Magimon closes his eyes laughing but then he hears a voice coming up from behind him. It was a rather anonymous voice to be exact.
"D-Reaper will pay for what it's done, but it's mostly your fault."
Dark Magimon's eyes shot out with surprise at the first sound of Imperialdramon's voice. He turns to look at Fighter Mode standing right behind him.
"Target Akai Shougeki" plays
"Huh? So it's you! You still look bad. Ha, you think just because you're as tall as a skyscraper, you can match up with my power and beat me? Ha! I am Dark Magimon! Sorcerer of darkness!"
"I've always been this tall and what I'm about to do to you, you won't even live to regret! I plan on squishing your fragile ass under my feet. You're nothing but a sack of shit, who deserves to be put out of commission."
"Wh-What did you just say! You're a quite fine position to even anger me! Alright, I'll ask D-Reaper to kill you in the most painful way possible!"
"Too bad, I can't allow you to use D-Reaper anymore."
"What? I wish you idiots would just shut up already!
"Even if I can't do anything about D-Reaper, I can still kill you."
Dark Magimon's eyes widen as he turns away. Imperialdramon pulls back his arm and was ready to attack. The sorcerer throws up his arms defensively as a barrier formed around him.
"Barrier!"
Imperialdrmaon's hand bounces off the ball of yellow light and he looks back up, with a surprised look.
"Ha! I'm not completely helpless! PARAPATA!"
As soon as the sorcerer said that, he throws his hands out and something shoots out at Imperialdramon. He's now covered by a purple material with occasional electricity running through his body. Fighter Mode's body begins to bulk up as a result and parts of his body become discolored. Dark Magimon simply laughs. Imperialdramon glares at him, then throws his fists up and pulls them back down as he rapidly charges up his ki. The material disappears and Imperialdramon returns to normal. The sorcerer's laughs quickly end as Imperialdramon gives him a death glare. Dark Magimon tries fleeing away, in search for D-reaper.
"D-Reaper! D-Reaper! Where are you! Kill this thing!"
Imperialdramon calmly hovers right behind him and his feet hit the ground. Dark Magimon fearfully looks back at him and throws out his barrier once again.
"Ha! Do you really think you can kill me!"
Imperialdramon responds by screaming and driving his fist right into the barrier. The sorcerer gasps, while Imperialdramon pushes energy into the barrier and causes the barrier's energy to channel out through Imperialdramon's arm.
"You fool! If you kill me now, you'll never be able to seal away D-Reaper!"
Imperialdramon ignores him and begins to make progress as the barrier gives a few inches. Imperialdramon concentrates on the barrier as Dark Magimon continues to plead.
"If you kill me, D-Reaper will keep destroying until nothing is left! Do you want that to happen!"
"That would happen even if you didn't die! Am I wrong?"
In a bright flash of green light after firing his Positron Laser, the barrier explodes. Dark Magimon stumbles back, screaming. He leaps into the air and Imperialdramon appears behind him. The sorcerer spins around, crying out in fear. The dragon warrior was prepared to deliver the final blow to the annoying sorcerer.
"Goodbye."
With that said, Imperialdramon pulls back his hand and uses the end of his claws to slice right through Dark Magimon, abruptly cutting him in half. Blood flows out from Magimon's mouth as he was cut into pieces. Imperialdramon glares at him as Magimon's pieces of clothing began littering the ground.
"I can't believe it! I was destined to become king of the multi digiverses!"
But then, Dark Magimon falls into several pieces, but the three main ones are his lower body, upper body and his left arm. As soon as he hit the bottom of the crater, Imperialdramon glares down with a look of no remorse.
Elsewhere, D-Reaper sits up from under a pile of rocks. He sighs, shakes her head and throws up her arms, which causes all of the rocks around him to be lifted into the air. The dust clears to reveal no rocks around the now-standing D-Reaper.
"Who did that! Who did that to me!"
Imperialdramon looks calmly over towards D-Reaper. Metalla X stares off into the sky, and towards the hovering mega. Without even making eye contact with TK, Metalla X begins to speak.
"TK. I want you to take good care of Mimi and my son, do you hear me?"
War Angemon looks over towards him with a look of concern and confusion.
"Huh?"
Metalla X looks away from the sky off towards D-Reaper. A grin forms across his face. War Angemon was very confused and did not understand why his brother was saying this.

"Keke. I think it would be best for…"
"No. I understand that my father's fate has come. I'm not going to turn away and cry anymore. If my father is willing to do this, then I'll stand by this decision. I may hate it, but I will respect him. He's my father after all."
"Okay, then. Matt. Thanks for everything."
The two turned towards the viewing orb to witness perhaps what will be considered one of the most heart-breaking moments to ever take place.

Elsewhere, both Tai and Kari were both laid out with their respective digimon at their sides. This was a sign that they were already taken out of commission.
"Why did you just say that? Where are you going? Why do you want me to take care of Mimi and Dimitri?"
"You should get away from here as soon as possible, TK."
War Angemon was shocked by hearing this and looks over to see that Metalla X wasn't even making eye contact with him.
"I want to fight D-Reaper myself."
War Angemon was caught by surprise by what his brother had just said and gasped.
"You're not serious! Let me fight with you, Matt! With us brothers united, we can bring down this enemy. If you fight by yourself, its going to kill you. If we attack together, we can defeat it."
"Its no good. No matter how many of us attack it, we'll lose if we fight normally."
"But if we attack together, we can beat him! This isn't like you, Matt. Why are you acting so weak? You always have been able to act important in the past. Why not now?"
"TK. I never really treated you like a real baby brother. I barely even noticed you and always tried to a really be a good elder brother."
After a long pause, Metalla X turns to face War Angemon and extends his hand out.
"Let us give each other a brotherly hug."
War Angemon shrinks back in surprise. Metalla X slowly walks up towards him and embraces his younger brother.
"Matt? What are you doing, Matt? Are you serious? Stop it, you're embarrassing me."
Metalla X remains silent, simply staring down at his younger brother. Everyone remains still for a few moments, with the others simply watching as the two brothers embrace for the first time in many, many years. Finally, a smile comes across the face of Metalla X.
"Take care of yourself, Takeru. And take over after me."
War Angemon looks right up at him in shock, but then Metalla X pulls back his right hand and delivers a chop to the back of War Angemon's head that delivered an echoing sound throughout the landscape. War Angemon grunts and falls over, as he de-evolved back into TK and Patamon.
Imperialdramon simply watches the whole scene from the skies above and lands a few feet away from Metalla X. Metalla X watches as Imperialdramon approaches. He stops and they stare each other down. Just as Imperialdramon was about to say something, they both turned as they felt a tremendous ki level heading their way. D-Reaper was walking forward to the group with a evil smirk on her face. She steps several yards away from the group.
"Who's the one that hit me!"
"Take these two and get as far away as you. Go now, Imperialdramon."
Metalla X walks away as Imperialdramon scoops up both TK and Patamon in his hand. He turns back around to face Metalla X.
"I'm counting on you, Davis."
Imperialdramon stands up, looks back around over his shoulder and then fully turns around.
"You're planning to die, aren't you?"
(Creed "My Sacrifice" plays)
Metalla X doesn't respond for a few seconds, and they stand in silence as D-Reaper once again began walking towards them. Metalla X finally breaks up the silence.
"Just tell me one thing. After I die, will I be able to meet Kari and Tai, if those two happen to die also?"
Dinobeemon goes flying over as he answers the question for Metalla X.
"There's no point in trying to cheer you up now, so I'll be honest," said Dinobeemon, "According to what X has told me, you won't be able to."
Metalla X's eyes twitch at what he had just said, but he says nothing to the matter. After another pause, Dinobeemon continues on.
"I asked the same question about my brother, Sam. His soul was separated. His good was sent eternal peace, while his darker side was sent to limbo. That's right, that dark side was sent to hell. On the other hand, you're in a different position. You're hurt too many digimon just today at the arena after hearing what Rika told me. According to what X said to me, after you die a second time as a digital being, your body will fade away and your spirit will be taken into a different world than the digital world. You'll most possibly be sent to limbo."
D-Reaper continues walking over to them while humming to herself.
"Your digital self shall be cleansed there, you will lose your memories, and you will be placed into a new body. Your human outer shell will be completely erased forever."
Metalla X simply smiles and closes his eyes as if he had heard enough.
"I see. That's not so bad… So be it…"
D-Reaper continues her march over towards the group.
"That's enough for now. You can go. Hurry up."
Dinobeemon goes flying off into the distance, along with Imperialdramon following his trail, while holding onto both TK and Patamon along the way. D-Reaper takes notice of this and points out towards them.
"Subject analyzed as Imperialdramon! Target to be dele-"
"Wait, D-Reaper!"
She looks right over towards Metalla X with a look of surprise.
"You'll have to stop them after you defeat and delete me!"
Metalla X holds up his fists towards his chest and a smile comes across his face.
"Do you understand, you ugly piece of crap!"
D-Reaper hunches forward and tons of steam comes right out of her head and her eyes were glowing a dark, purple color with a loud humming noise with it.
"You're saying bad things again! You shall be deleted!"
Metalla X grins and D-Reaper shoots out more steam to reveal her true anger, then stops and does it a little more.
"You've got such a big mouth for such a simple creature. I shall enjoy uploading your data after I delete you."
Rika watches from the cliff as Imperialdramon races by. Dinobeemon goes flying down as Rika places Renamon on his back and goes along and jumps on the ultimate-level insect's back.
"We have to get away from here, Ken! Now! Let's go," Imperialdramon exclaimed.
"Right! I just got Rika and Renamon! We're off!"
They both take white auras as they both flew off away into the far off distance.
D-Reaper stakes a step forward and goes to confront Metalla X.
"You will die already, Metalla X…"
Metalla X's grin grew even wider as the creature shoot out more steam from her head.
"Now you shall be the second to be deleted."
"I've finally figured out a way to beat you."
"Huh?"
Metalla X holds out his fist and charges up his ki. Immediately, the sky goes dark.
Dinobeemon takes note of this while they were flying off in the skies.
"H-hey what's Matt doing! Doesn't he know that he will get killed, right!"
"He's facing certain suicide here! He can't win!" exclaimed Rika.
"This is the first time that he has ever fought for someone else. He's given up his own life," Imperialdramon said.
Back on the battlefield, a healthy metallic blue aura flows around Metalla X, throwing up dust all around him and causing some boulders to crumble. D-Reaper looks over with a sadistic smirk coming across her face.
"Hm. What shall I do with you? Delete you the fast ands less painful way? Or the slow and very painful way? It's your choice. You will be deleted no matter what you choose."
"Ha! You're a fool. I'm going to blow you up into so many little pieces that you'll never be able to regenerate!"
Just then, D-Reaper's eyes widened in shock while looking down at her hands and then back to Metalla X. A grin forms across the fusion warrior's face.
"TK… Mimi… Dimitri. Digi-Destined. Tamers. Farewell. This one's for you. Tai, this one's for you.."
("My Sacrifice" ends)
Metalla X quickly looks away as D-Reaper gasps in shock at what was now about to transpire. Metalla X activates his self-destruction mechanism as he hunches over, groans for a moment as he prepares himself, then throws his head back, screaming. A massive dome of golden light expands out from within him, throwing up dust and debris. His scream fades away as the explosion continues to expand even more. Clouds quickly part away as D-Reaper screams while getting hit by the incredible amount of ki. Metalla X continues screaming and gets engulfed by the massive force of light.

"FATHER!"
"Matt, you've actually done it…"
The Digital World. Former Site of Dark Magimon's Ship
Imperialdramon, Rika and Dinobeemon all watch in awed shock from a very far distance. The explosion has expanded out so far that they were able to see it from that very far distance.
"Oh no! Matt!" exclaimed Dinobeemon.
The explosion continues to expand even further while the screams of Metalla X were still being heard.
"YAMATO!"
Imperialdramon is speechless, as he watches the entire explosion continue out.
Metalla X lets out his final screams while the light quickly engulfs him and the D-Reaper within, preventing them both from ever coming back. Metalla X has now sealed his own fate. Matt has sealed his own fate. Yamato Ishida has sealed his own fate.
"In the end, the great warrior died in the great pillar of light. The name of this warrior was Metalla X, Yamato "matt" Ishida. The Digi-Destined of Friendship."

(Preview)
Imperialdramon: He's gone… He truly is gone. This is unbelievable.
Azulongmon: Stop this senseless violence, Zhuqiaomon! You need to put you're animosity against the humans for this time being. I sensed that a warrior has fallen and failed to defeat the true enemy…
Takato: Matt? He's gone!
Imperialdramon: No! It can't be! The D-Reaper is still alive! Matt's sacrifice was in vain!
Mimi: What is this feeling I'm having? Why do I feel so frozen?
Izzy: You guys. I was able to get a transmission from Shibumi while I was researching more information on this new digital world. Now, allow me to introduce to you… Shibumi via transmission…
Tai: What's happened? You guys need to fill me in on everything that's happened.
Rika: Next time on Digimon Tamers Fusion, episode twenty-four!
The Nightmare Lives On! Shibumi Speaks on the True Enemy!
Terriermon: Don't you miss it!
Max: Man, that was intense. If you're a Matt fan, then you probably would have enjoyed that just for the sake of Matt sacrificing himself to ensure the survival of his friends and families. In a way, this ends the first portion of the Tamers saga. So you can count this as a Season One to the Tamers Saga. There's not going to be any closing statements. Except this: Peace everyone and be sure to check out the Zero Two fic!
