Mystic Celesta's Takes Stage! Grani's Arrival!
Earth.West Shinjuku
There an intense moment occurring as the D-Reaper grinned evilly towards the two fallen fusion warriors, War Angemon and Imperialdramon. Buddamon stood by and could do nothing to save them but throw his precious life away.
"They should have destroyed her when they had the chance! Damn it! War Dramon was an incompetent jackass! They had plenty of opportunities to destroy her but they were wasting time! Damn it!"
"So, you think that we're going to die, Davis?" asked War Angemon.
"Not a chance! We're not giving up. That bitch is asking for it!" Imperialdramon replied.
"There he goes in the usual cocky Davis mode," War Angemon thought.
The warriors' bodies were so beaten up and were unable to move. They knew very well that their bodies would come to an end. As soon as D-Reaper stepped forward, they could feel her presence being felt. It almost seemed like the end.
That is until, Buddamon phases between the two fusion warriors and the D-Reaper herself with his arms outstretched. D-Reaper was caught by surprise, but was yet pleased.
"D-Reaper. I'm offering the chance for you to battle me. Even if I die, I'm willing to do it to allow these two to survive."
"Buddamon! You can't! Your going to get yourself killed!" War Angemon cried out.
"Its suicide!" Imperialdramon said, "Don't do it! You're taking it the wrong way."
Suddenly War Angemon noticed something peculiar of what Buddamon was doing. A slight smile forms across his face as he turned to face Imperialdramon.
"What is it, TK?"
"Don't worry. I think Buddamon has a plan. He almost always doesn't go without one."
"Really? Well that's a relief and here I was starting to worry."
Buddamon was about to speak until he noticed that the D-Reaper was frozen and was in a sort of sleep mode. The creature started snoring loudly. He and the two fusion warriors were quickly shocked at what they were seeing. How could the D-Reaper sleep at a time like this?
"I can't believe you just put her to sleep, Buddamon. You truly must be magical," said War Angemon.
"Ha. I wish. I think the D-Reaper just froze for no apparent reason. She's already in sleep mode. This might be a good time to get away and think of a good battle strategy."
"Right. I say we get the hell out of the city. I would hate to be the janitor to clean this shit up," Imperialdramon said.
The three nodded to each other as they started flying off into the distance and towards out of the city. Imperialdramon looks back down towards the sleeping D-Reaper and was just as confused as ever.
"But why would she been sleeping at a time like this? Is she reloading or something? Maybe I could give her a few whacks like I do to my computer."
"Bad move, Davis. Unless, you want to put out lives in jeopardy!"
"I think something happened to the chaos mass and it could have caused a chain reaction for the two entities," said Buddamon, "But we should be able to get away from a far distance. We'll let the Tamers and the other Destined take care of the D-Reaper agents."
"Agents?" Imperialdramon asked.
"Yes. The D-Reaper isn't just one being. Ever since requiring the data of everything it deletes and absorbs, it uses that data and enhances it to create a sort of drone army. They are called Agents of D-Reaper, otherwise known as 'ADRs'. Unfortunately, Shintomon sent me a telepathic message that Demon has corrupted the mass itself."
"So we have to deal with D-Reaper and this… Demon! Didn't Kari defeat him years ago!"
"No, Daisuke. That was the younger, more arrogant brother of this Demon. The Demon who has been corrupting the mass is the older, wiser brother. He's perhaps even deadlier. There's no time to lose. We have to find Demon and put a stop to his plans!"
"I see. Then the D-Reaper must be resting to transfer some of her energy into the mass to give enough power for the ADRs," War Angemon said, "Seemingly, it's a power struggle between D-Reaper and Demon. Hmph. I couldn't have thought of that myself, if I were to have known a little more about the D-Reaper. Thanks for enlightening us, Buddamon."
"My pleasure, Takeru. We also by ourselves some time for you two to fuse together once again and fight as War Dramon. From there, you can reach your maximum power and battle the D-Reaper again."
"Good strategy," Imperialdramon said, "I wonder how Kari and Gatomon are holding off in that power-up training."
Buddamon stops frozen for a minute as he felt a powerful presence starting to near and his eyes widened like never before. The two fusion warriors took notice of this and were confused. But soon, they felt that same ki presence.
"Its huge! Can you feel it, Davis?" War Angemon asked.
"Yeah. It's… Whoa! That's impossible! It couldn't be!" Imperialdramon said with enthusiasm.
The three warriors looked up ahead and saw a flashing point in the far off distance as if something were reaching up towards them at the speed of light itself. They could easily recognize whom the power belonged to, but they wouldn't believe how powerful they have now actually gotten, even under a short period of time.
Somewhere down in the middle of the street, a black Hypnos truck was speeding down the road. Inside was none other than Tamers, minus Ryo. Guardromon followed it by merely using his boosters to fly. Renamon was catching up to it by foot and didn't look like she was about to tire out so soon.
The Tamers were now being taken towards the temporary Hypnos headquarters for now since the D-Reaper Chaos Zone had already engulfed nearly half the portion of the Hypnos buildings.
"Wow, that's the D-Reaper mass? Nearly all of central West Shinjuku is engulfed by that blob mass. We can thank Demon for this. If only we knew how to stop him," said Henry, "If we don't do something quick, it's going to end up engulfing our whole city."
"I'm just glad my family managed to find a safer place," Rika said.
"Mine too. But, how are we actually going to defeat the chaos mass if the army of the sovereigns were unable to defeat it," Takato pondered. "Then again, who's going to keep an eye on that creep, Demon?"
"Well, this sucks. First we a deadly jello mass trying to engulf our city and then we have another psycho maniac trying to destroy our world," Kazu said.
"Where did Leomon go?" Jeri asked, "He didn't come with us."
"He's out patrolling the city," Kenta said, "From what he told us, he had some things to do then he'll catch up with us later."
"By the way. Where the heck did Ryo go?" asked Takato.
"Ugh. I bet being his typical self. He's so reckless," Rika said with an irritated tone in her voice.
Meanwhile, a dark presence was being felt across the D-Reaper chaos mass. The presence came from a cloaked figure with a pair of demonic wings. The cloaked figure chuckled as he fed more dark energy to the mass. It began to glow with a dark purple aura.
"I see those children were able to handle my first set of agents. I think I should at least be considerate and turn it up a notch."
Suddenly, a pair of yellow mouths started to pop out from the mass. Demon phases away from getting caught by the mouths and manipulated them under his power.
"It seems the D-Reaper wants to play a little power struggle with me. Foolish creature. You're just a tool to help crush the children. Once you finish the job, I won't have anymore use for you. Huh?"
Just then, Demon felt a ki from down below the city. He peered down to see Justimon running across the streets. The demon lord slightly chuckled and points his finger to the mega.
"There, my precious agent. There is one of those meddling children. Make him our first casualty."
With that said, the newly created monster made its way through the mass and towards the city. Demon looks on with anticipation. Suddenly, he felt another ki. This one far surpassed anything he's ever felt before.
"What was that! There's a powerful being heading this direction. It seems this individual has decided to take matters against the D-Reaper. Just as long as this one doesn't interfere with my work, I should be fine."
Unknown to the demon lord, Pikkan looks on behind a billboard. The alterian suppressed his ki, in order to conceal himself from Demon.
"It ends here, Demon."
Elsewhere, Justimon leapt up into the air and then landed back onto the ground. He went hiding behind a wall ledge and watched as several ADR-04 float by in their usual formations.
"Ryo? You see anything yet," Justimon asked, under Cyberdramon's voice. "Nothing. But I did see some drones pass by. I don't think that they noticed us. We're going to have to suppress our ki."
Justimon started to lower down his ki and sighed a relief to realize that he wasn't caught yet. Just then, several ADR-04's appeared from behind him.
"Um! We spoke too soon, Ryo!" exclaimed Justimon.
The ironclad warrior goes leaping up into the air and then comes down with his 'Justice Kick' to take down several of the ADr-04 with tremendous ease.
Back over at the old Hypnos headquarters, everyone had gathered around. Those included the Monster Makers, the Wild Bunch, the Tamers & their parents, and half of the Digi-Destined.
Izzy and Daisy were hard at work modifying the secret weapon that Izzy had planned on creating as the 'ultimate weapon' to battle against the D-Reaper. They watched as it was floating patiently within the new digital world. They managed to bring up some facial and body features especially custom made for the device.
"Here we go, Yamaki. Here's an outline of what it will look like," Izzy said.
"Excellent and you equipped it with the digital world's strongest metal, chrome digizoid."
The Destined gathered around as they looked in awe at what he was modifying on the computer screen.
"Wow. I wish I had one of those," Yolei said.
"Hmph, but you already have me," Hawkmon replied.
"Wow, is this thing part of their secret project that you were talking to us about sometime ago but never came out into plan since there weren't anymore dangers occurring between the two worlds," Sora asked, "That looks amazing."
"I had planned on using this during the actual War games against Virus and it would have had the energy to destroy even Virus himself. But since Tai and Kari reached new levels of digital fusion power, I had to scrap this idea. But now it's the perfect time to use it. How's it going over there Mr. McCoy?"
"Its doing well, Izzy. I'm now going to integrate some parts on the computer into the actual weapon on the computer. It shouldn't be able to take that long."
"Great. Let me know on anymore updates. I'm here whenever you need me."
Shibumi goes walking forward to his fellow Monster Makers while eating a rice ball. He took a look on the monitor and examined the new weapon that they were creating.
"So, what is this thing supposed to be called?" Shibumi asked.
"It's called Zero Arms Grani," said Yamaki, "It's efficient, durable and its armor is contained of the strongest metal in the digital world, chrome digizoid."
"Oh. I see. You guys are loonier than I am."
Shibumi then turns to face the Tamers and walks over to them. He then turns his attention over to Henry.
"Can I see your D-Ark just really quick?"
"You want to see it?"
"Hey! What gives you any right to take a look at his D-Ark. It's his and nobody else should get their grubby hands on it," Terriermon remarked.
"Um, Terriermon. It's okay. Don't mind him, Mr. Mizuno, buts a little bit on the wacky side."
"Don't worry and besides I took everything he just said as compliments."
He then walks right over towards the Destined group.
"It seems you two have different models. Izzy told me that the ones he and the older Destined had were digivices, but the younger ones had D-3s. Please, one of you hand me your digivice and the other hand me your D-3."
"Its okay, guys. I gave him the big okay on it," Izzy said with a thumbs up.
"Well alright. Here you can examine him," Sora said as she handed him her digivice.
"And you can take a look at my D-3," replied Cody as he handed the man his D-3.
Shibumi takes the three devices and plugs them all together through cables connected into a computer.
"Aw, perfect. Now I can use the combination of the three devices and this could help with Grani's realization. I can use the power of the three devices to activate teleportation between the real and the digital worlds. This way we can transfer some of the data from these three devices combined with the remaining data within the digital world to give Grani its well-deserved boost that it really needs. It should be able to work."
"Sir! I'm getting a high power ready from outside of West Shinjuku! It's off the charts," Riley called out, "It looks like some sort of wild one, but of high altitudes."
"What! This isn't the time to worry about small fries. We have much more important things to be concerned with," said Yamaki.
But all of the digimon within the room quickly felt the powerful presence and they could easily tell whom that ki had belonged to.
"Don't sweat it guys! It's Kari and Gatomon! Celesta X! She's back," Guilmon said, "She's back from training and she's stronger than ever! Yay!"
"Whoa! It is Celesta X!" Armadillomon said, "It's off the charts but it's really her!"
"But how is that possible?" Rika asked.
"It just is! We better take a look at this through monitor," Talley replied as she found the exact pinpoint location.
"We're getting a visual," Riley said, "And we have transmission."
The digimon took a good hard look within the distance and smiles came across their faces as they recognized the warrior's face. It was indeed the fusion warrior of light, Mystic Celesta.
"See? I told you so!" Guilmon said, "She's much stronger than she was before."
"Well I'll be damned," muttered Izzy, "Prodigious! Celesta X should have enough power to give the D-Reaper a run for her money as we speak. I'm putting my bets on Kari and Gatomon."
"Agreed," Takato replied, "This is her fight now. What we need to do is worry about that sphere that's floating above the towers."
"Not to mention some drones to take out," Jeri said, "There's plenty of those out there."
"Right. Then we know our positions. We just need to get ready for the danger to come to us," Izzy replied.
There was a sudden roar in the skies and a huge ki was detected along the way. Buddamon and the two fusion warriors looked ahead to see that someone was heading their way.
D-Reaper managed to wake up from her sleep mode and senses the powerful ki from the distance as well.
"I wonder who it is?" pondered War Angemon, "It couldn't be Celesta X, could it?"
"I don't know. This ki is much too strong for me to recognize. However, there's something particular that I'm starting to sense from it. It's radical!" Imperialdramon said.
"Could it be? Is it really the warrior of courage himself?" Buddamon wondered, "That's got to be Omega X."
"No it isn't! It's Celesta X! She and Gatomon must have received that power-up already!" said War Angemon, "And it's about time too. We were beginning to wonder when they would show up!"
"Yeah! Looks like we might have a chance after all," said Imperialdramon.
As soon as blur rushed right passed the trio, they all turned with widened eyes and gaping mouths.
"Yes! It is she! Celesta X is back! Looks like the D-Reaper is going to have a lot of trouble trying to take Celesta X! I have no doubt that she's going to be the one that puts D-Reaper's lights out."
"Lets not be too sure of ourselves, Takeru. For all we know, the D-Reaper still hasn't reached into the full depth of her true power. On the other hand, this is going to be very interesting. Let's kick back and watch."
As soon as Mystic Celesta levitated in the skies above, D-Reaper was looking right up at the hovering female with a look of hatred across her face.
"Her ki has gotten much stronger! Man, I wonder what kind of power-up that Gosenzomon had given her," Buddamon pondered, "I just hope that all of those hours will pay off."
("Target Akai Shougeki" plays)
Mystic Celesta lowers her head right down over to D-Reaper and then cups her hands together. A large energy ball was starting to materialize within her palms and then with a tremendous force behind it, she shoots the energy ball towards D-Reaper. The energy blast was making its mark onto the enemy.
"HOLY BEAM!"
D-Reaper was able to see it coming as she managed to phase out of the way and watched as the blast penetrated the ground and caused a large explosion as a result. As soon as the beam of light faded, D-Reaper jumped back down on the ground and looked up to notice that Mystic Celesta was gone. An angry look came across her face and she heard an echoing roar from another direction.
As soon as she turned around, she saw another "Terra Beam" coming out of nowhere and it blasted it down. Mystic Celesta levitated down and watched as the smoke cloud was starting to dissipate.
"Alright! Direct hit! But I'm not sure if that really did her in," Imperialdramon said.
"We'll just have to wait and see," War Angemon replied.
The smoke cloud dissipated and D-Reaper was standing with her arms crossed but there were slight scratches and bruises inflicted all over her body. She growled under her breath and start screaming out with rage.
Mystic Celesta merely hovered as she quickly phases out again. This caught D-Reaper by surprise and she quickly looked to the other side to see Mystic Celesta giving her a death glare. The two warriors faced each other down and Mystic Celesta's presence made the D-Reaper slightly tremble.
"Her speed managed to increase! Wow, did you detect her movements!" asked War Angemon.
"Not at all! Wow, that power-up must have done her a lot of good! Hikari might even have a good chance! There's no doubt about it," Buddamon replied.
"D-Reaper! This was just only a fraction of our real power! Now we will show you what we are truly capable of. As you can see, this is our first mode of our mega form. But watch and learn!"
The D-Reaper gasped as she felt Mystic Celesta's ki skyrocket. She watched as the hovering warrior started to emit a bright, holy aura. The female now reached to her full extent to her Amazing Grace power. She looked up and faced down judgment day herself.
"I've reached my fullest extent to my Amazing Grace. Ready to die, D-Reaper?"
D-Reaper growled angrily and started flying over towards Mystic Celesta, but as soon as she went to deck the angel with a punch, the female quickly phased out and D-Reaper was shocked.
Mystic Celesta phases right behind D-Reaper and held her palm in place and charges it up. D-Reaper notices a beam of light shooting out from her palm and was sent straight out with tremendous force.
"Judgment Day Blast!"
D-Reaper managed to barely maneuver to the side and watched as the blast went right through several devastated buildings. The result ended with each building exploding at the same time.
As soon as the smoke cleared, the two fighters stood face to face, with D-Reaper facing her attention to Mystic Celesta. An evil grin shaped across the face of the D-Reaper.
"Ha. I can't believe that such a pitiful digimon such as yourself has come to fight me."
"You're wrong."
"What! Then why did you come here?"
"I came here to kill you."
("Target Akai Shougeki" fades)
Other side of the Digital Universe. Planet Shin
Agumon, X, Tai and Shintomon gathered around the crystal ball as they viewed the confrontation between Mystic Celesta and the D-Reaper. Smiles formed across their faces as their confidence were slowly starting to build up at the anticipation of the battle.
"My goddramon! This is going to be one hell of a fight!" Agumon said, "I'm placing my bets on Celesta X."
"Her power is astounding," X replied. "It's been a while since I've felt such a great power from a Kamiya."
"Same here, buddy. I can't wait for the D-Reaper to get herself what she deserves! Mystic Celesta will kick her ass! Shintomon, what do you think?"
"Taichi. I couldn't agree more. This one is going to Mystic Celesta by default. Besides, Hikari said herself that she wasn't even fighting at her full maximum. We'll just have to see how strong she really is."
Gosenzomon sat down with a saddened look on his face and turned his back on the crystal ball. He sighs and resumed his reading.
"I can't believe that a lowly warrior such as Celesta X was the one who pulled the sword out. She was the one who freed me. I feel so under-appreciated."
Earth.West Shinjuku
Justimon was patrolling the city once again after taking care of a group of ADR-04s along the way. He goes hiding behind a wall as he saw an army of more ADR-04 passing by.
"Ryo? I'm sick of all this hiding! I want to fight and I want a crack shot at those drones that just passed by us," Justimon exclaimed. "Not, we're not sure if they found us yet. But the coast seems to be clear enough."
But just as soon as he said that, a yellow sphere-like object comes shooting out of nowhere and then nails Justimon from behind. The bio-merged mega is then sent flying back onto the ground face-first.
"Ryo, don't jinx us next time."
Looking on afar from a water tower, two familiar Sailor Soldiers were looking on with concern. It was none other than Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus.
"Shouldn't we aid him?" Neptune asked.
"No. This battle is no concern to us."
"The city is being engulfed. This is a concern."
"Let's just stick to taking out the trash," Uranus replied. "You missed one."
Neptune turns as an ADR-04 came flying out of nowhere. The agent shot out numerous of blasts, which the two Sailors easily avoided. Neptune jumps up and grabs the cord, which allowed a sword to materialize around Uranus' hand. She comes down and cuts the cord with relative ease. The agent was extinguished into a glob of ooze.
"See? What did I tell you? At least we're contributing to this battle," Uranus replied.
"We'll leave the rest to these children."
With that said, the two Sailors walked off through a foggy cloud and vanished from sight. They may not be aiding the Tamers/Destined combo, but they were at least showing some contribution to the D-Reaper invasion.
The Tamers and the digimon were looking on through the computer at the show down that was taking place between D-Reaper and Mystic Celesta. Even more astonished looks came across the faces of the Monster Makers and the Wild Bunch.
"What is that thing?" Janyuu asked.
"Thing? Watch you call a thing. She's a dear friend to us. So don't worry," said Gomamon.
"She's so pretty," Jeri replied.
Kazu pulls out her D-Ark and then gets a reading on the warrior facing off against the D-Reaper. Unfortunately, he didn't get a reading on Mystic Celesta.
"That's Kari and Gatomon in their fusion form. I present to you, Celesta X," Sora said, "I doubt the D-Reaper will lay a finger on her. She beat Virus and now she'll defeat the D-Reaper."
Just then, Guilmon and the other digimon turned their attention over towards the other direction. They all seemed to have a dark presence nearby and it was coming from the outside.
"What's wrong, boy? What is it?" Takato asked.
"More drones. They're out in the city. These are a lot stronger than the ones we've faced. Takato, we have to go out there and stop them."
"Demon must have created more just to wear us down. We've never encountered anyone as crafty as he is. Well, only a few of us have to stay here. After all, my D-Ark is being used to program Grani," Henry said.
"Then I'll stay too," replied Sora, "Besides, my digivice is being scanned."
"I might as well then stay here," Cody replied.
"Alright! It's settled then. All remaining Tamers and Destined follow me out."
"Then I should go too!" Suzie calls out.
"No. You have to stay here," Henry replied, "I can't let you just go out there and get hurt."
"But, Henwy…"
"Do as your brother tells you," Mr. Wong replied, "We better let the rest of them handle this."
"Right. It's best we stay here for now, Suzie," Lopmon replied, "I can conserve my strength that way."
The little girl nodded as she sat back down holding onto Lopmon. At least, Suzie can keep Dimitri and Naomi company while Mimi and Yolei head out to battle. Kenta and Marine Angemon also decided to stay since they were not useful in the battle, at least since Marine Angemon was not a fighter. Leomon decided to stay in order to guard Jeri's family.
Takato led his team out through the elevator to enable them to reach down towards the bottom level. Takato's team included himself, Rika, Joe, Yolei, Ken, Mimi and Kazu. As soon as they reached to the ground level, they walked out and saw the D-Reaper mass starting to slowly grow and there's was something emerging from the mass.
"What the heck is that!" Kazu called out.
"I don't know! It must be another one of the D-Reaper's drones!" Takato cries out. "Demon sure isn't getting creative with his work."
"You're telling me. His quality work sucks," Terriermon critiqued.
"I'm glad you still have a sense of humor with this going on," Henry said. "Otherwise, I would have told you to keep you're mouth shut."
"You can't keep my mouth shut. I'm like the energizer bunny!"
As soon as the figure took shape, it stood as a tall, pink humanoid creature with small spheres that opened like mouths all over its body.
"That is one ugly motha…"
"Guardromon! Watch your mouth. You must have picked that up from The Predator. Oops, there I go with movies again. So, are you guys really certain we can take this thing?"
"We've got strength in numbers. I have no doubt that we have the advantage."
"I agree with goggle head, there are plenty of us that will be able to take this thing down. As long as some of us can bio-merge, we can get it done."
"We better stop this chattering and get down to business," Ken said, "Because that thing is coming right for us!"
"Right! Lets do this!" Takato cries out.
Suddenly, the creature, better known as ADR-07, shoot out one of its yellow spheres and it started to morph into a what looked like a camera. It began to analyze each of the digimon and the humans as it spoke in a rather borgish tone of voice.
"Analyze underway. Digimon identified: Guilmon, Renamon, Guardromon, Wormmon, Palmon, Hawkmon and Gomamon. By Demon's orders, subjects are now to be deleted right away."
With that said, the camera morphed back into a sphere and retracts back into its body as if it were a springing orb. Rika was now beginning to become visibly frustrated.
"Oh yeah? You want to terminate us! You're just going to have to kill us first! Digimon! Get into attack formation! We're going to show the D-Reaper the true meaning of team work!"
"Wow, I've never seen Rika like this before. I'm beginning to admire her courage, kind of reminds me of myself at times," Takato thought to himself.
The digimon quickly got into fighting psoes as each of the Tamers and Destined held onto their respective digivices, D-Arks and D-3s individually. One by one, their devices were starting to glow and their digimon were ready to digivolve.
Just then, something had come to Mimi's attention. She had almost forgotten about Pikkan.
"Maybe I should have told the others about that Pikkan guy. Well, there's no time for that. He could be handling Demon himself. I just hope he knows what he's doing. Ugh, this just isn't my day."
Demon looks on from afar the battlegrounds. His latest creation was set to begin battle with the digimon army.
"Everything is going according to plan…"
"Afraid not, asshole."
Demon was caught by surprise from the familiar voice. He turns and faces none other than Pikkan. The alterian pulls his fist back and shoots out an electrical blast, which Demon was able to divert.
"Damn it! Quit running, coward!"
"Pikkan, you underestimate me. I am not running like a coward as you say I am. I am merely delaying the inevitable."
"Those children will stomp you're new toys like cockroaches. With them taking care of business, I can focus one hundred percent of my energy on you!"
"Bold words coming from a warrior who is about to visit the after life."
"No. If I go, then you're coming with me."
"Let us begin for round two!"
With that said, Demon starts gathering energy from the D-Reaper mass itself. Pikkan felt a strong dark form of ki being absorbed into Demon's being. The demon lord's eyes flashed a mystical purple aura. He chuckles under his breathe and forms an energy ball in his right hand.
"Just bring me everything you have, horn boy."
Demon merely ignores the alterian's idle threats and creates his energy ball into an even bigger one.
D-Reaper and Mystic Celesta were still facing each other off as the wind started to blow around them. Mystic Celesta clenched her fists and D-Reaper noticed an aura of holy light surrounding the female's body.
"Huh?"
Mystic Celesta then powered down and held out her hands as if she were suppressing her ki. D-Reaper simply looks at this and started laughing to herself.
"You still expect to beat me! Don't be too sure of yourself, warrior. I've beaten up a fused warrior already and now they ran because they're nothing more than cowards!"
Looking a far from the battlefield, Buddamon was overhearing their conversation.
"Even if Mystic Celesta is at her powered-up state, she isn't strong enough to defeat even the D-Reaper at this moment."
"I say we give digital fusion another try," said Imperialdramon, "Just in case Kari is in trouble."
Even thought half an hour had almost passed, the two fusion warriors flew down to the nearest spot and were now performing the fusion technique in attempt to become War Dramon once again. Buddamon had his eyes locked onto the battleground and was more concerned at how much stronger Mystic Celesta has really become.
ADR-07 made its way over towards the digimon with its arms outstretched and ready to make its attack upon the crowded digimon.
"Digivolve now!" the whole Destined group exclaimed.
Evolution theme "Brave Heart" plays
One by one, each of the Destined's digivices and D-3s started to glow and release beams of light. One by one, each of the digimon started to digivolve.
"Palmon shinka! Togemon! Togemon chou shinka! Lillymon!"
Mimi's chest started glowing and it emitted a neon green aura. This allowed Lillymon to reach her mega form.
"Lillymon warp shinka! Rosemon!"
Rosemon flew out and started whipping the titan with her rose whip, but weren't enough to even put a dent on ADR-07.
"Gomamon shinka! Ikkakumon! Ikkakumon chou shinka! Zudomon!"
Zudomon went charing forwards with his hammer rose over his head and then bashed ADR-07 right in the forehead with his Zulcan's Hammer, but even that didn't do any damage. ADR-07 extracts its spheres and knocks both ultimates away.
"Hawkmon shinka! Aquillamon!"
"Since, Hawkmon and myself don't really have to fuse with one another anymore. I think Aquillamon should have enough power to evolve straight to his ultimate level form! It's worth a shot. Here we go!"Yolei said to herself in thought.
Aquillamon goes soaring from above and shoots out his Blast Rings over the towering drone, but there was not even any kind of damage inflicted on it.
"Aquillamon! Time to go ultimate!"
With that said, the purple-haired girl's D-3 started to shoot out a beam of energy and an aura started to form around Aquillamon. The two were merged together into a single being.
"Aquillamon Fusion shinka! Silphymon!"
Silphymon soars up into the air and cups his hands together to form a ball of energy. Then he pushes his cupped hands back and releases a powerful beam of energy over at ADR-07.
"Static Force!"
The blast managed to rock ADR-07 back and this allowed Guardromon to go for his Guardian Barrage. ADR-07, unprepared for the attacks, was knocked down onto the ground.
"Wormmon! You ready, pal?"
"Lets do it!"
Ken's D-3 shot out a beam of light and it started to engulf Wormmon as he quickly digivolved into his champion-level form.
"Stingmon!"
"Brave Heart" fades
The insectoid digimon goes soaring into the skies above and then comes diving down with a purple blade extracting from his hands. He comes down and delivers his deadly Spiking Strikes. ADR-07 was caught by surprise and taken down to the ground while trying to make a rebound against its surrounding adversaries.
"Bio-merge time, Guilmon! Lets go!"
"Right!"

"Bio-Merge Activate!"
Takato holds up his D-Ark and presses it against his chest as he exploded with a stream of red data surrounding him. He felt his arms flow freely as he started to float down upon Guilmon as they merged together.
"Guilmon Bio-merge!"
Guilmon's body started to break down as his reptilian skin was quickly giving way to a much more armored body that was silver. His limbs quickly transformed into that of human limbs. His tail gave way and he was now a bipedal figure. His face quickly evolved into every single of his evolutions. First from Guilmon and then into Growlmon. Then into War Growlmon and then into Guilmon. A view of Takato's face was shown and then a knight's facemask was shown. There was a pair of pure gold eyes underneath the dark silts of the mask. On top of the helmet was the face of Guilmon embedded on the top of his forehead. He goes flying out as a joust came appearing in his hand and a shield formed on the other. The shield has the same 'hazard' sign that was embedded on Guilmon's chest. Finally, a long, red flowing cape appeared as the new digimon soared out into a pose.
"Gallantmon!"
"You think you're going to hog the glory, goggle head? Think again! Renamon…"
"I'm ready to rumble…"
Bio-Merge Evolution
"Bio-Merge Activate!"
Rika holds up her D-Ark and quickly presses it against her chest as a stream of blue data quickly shrouded her body. Her hair flew straight up as if a gust of wind was blowing at her and she start to fly freely. Rika seemed to be floating above Renamon as they were beginning to merge.
"Renamon bio-merge!"
Renamon's body started to transform as a puddle of water was down at her feet. Water came at her side and her paws morphed into that of the limb of that a human. The puddle had a reflection of a cherry-blossom and a full moon at the background. Her feet and legs transformed into of a woman. Her shadow appears in the middle of the puddle and a streak of yellow light came swirling around her with flowers. Then her figure was starting to form. An armored chest covering was formed along with a belt buckle with a fox's face imbedded on it. A pair of high-heel boots also came into formation. Her face quickly evolved through every single of her evolutions. First from Renamon then into Kyuubimon. Then into Taomon and once again into Renamon. A view of Rika's face was shown and then a woman with a fox-face mask was shown. The new figure goes flipping up with a golden staff in one hand. As soon as she came landing down, she stood in the center of a neon-blue light and stood out in a pose.
"Sakuyamon!"
"One Vision" fades
Gallantmon goes flying ahead towards the fallen ADR-07 and started charging up his lance. He releases a powerful blast and nails it right to one of the yellow spheres covering the drone's body.
"Lightning Joust!"
As soon as the attack nailed the sphere, it quickly exploded into a dried blob mass.
"Bulls eye baby!" Gallantmon said, under Takato's voice.
However, his short-lived celebration was soon cut short as the titan of destruction regenerated its lost limb.
"Crap! It's able to regenerate itself!" exclaimed Gallantmon.
Just then, ADR-07 extracted out its arms and snatched away Gallantmon and started to constrict the helpless bio-merged mega. Sakuyamon went over to try to save her partner.
"Let him go, you bastard!" Sakuyamon cried out.
But just as Sakuyamon had flown in to try to save Gallantmon, another sphere came shooting out and knocked Sakuyamon back.
"Sakuyamon!"
Pikkan looks down towards the battlefield, but shifts his focus back on Demon.
"You should have kept you're attention on me, Pikkan! Big mistake!"
With that said, Demon phases out and materializes in front of Pikkan. Demon greets the alterian with a face-on blast from the energy ball. Pikkan cries out as he was sent plummeting down towards a water tower.
Just then, Gallantmon takes notice of this and saw Demon levitating above them. As soon as he was about to attack, ADR-07 extracted another mouth and kept the mega distracted. This allowed Demon to take advantage of the situation and continue his relentless assault on Demon.
The Monster Makers were looking on through a monitor as they monitored the progress of the two battles occurring.
"But why would the D-Reaper attack? What is its real purpose?" Janyuu wondered.
"Because its scared," replied Shibumi, "It is terrified between the bond between children and parents."
"Very much like us, humans," Yamaki responded, "It was afraid of what it did not understand."
"Everyone. Listen up! Grani's realization is calculated at seventy percent from completion," Izzy said.
"Lets hope this Grani works, Izzy,"Sora said to herself.
"Justice Kick!" Justimon calls out as he comes out of nowhere and vaporizes ADR-07's hand. Gallantmon was released as a result and here grouped with the others.
"Thanks, Justimon!"
"Save the thanks for later. We've got a drone to exterminate."
But just as they were relieved, more mouths came shooting out and they snared all three bio-merged megas. The ADR held them up and started to crush them under the mouth's tight grips.
"Stingmon! Save them!"
"I got this one under control!"
Stingmon goes flying up and then extracts a purple blade on one hand and went flying right through the cables and used his Spiking Strike to cut them down. As a result, the three megas were released. Stingmon flies out of the way as the Destined's digimon prepare for a head-on barrage attack.
"Thorn Whip!" Rosemon cries out.
"Zulcan's Hammer!"
"Static Force!"
"Destruction Grenade!"
All four digimon attacks nailed the ADR and only momentarily distracted it as Stingmon and Justimon both came up from behind the towering monster.
"Spiking Strike!"
"Voltage Blade!"
The combination of the two attacks managed to cut off the ADR's cables and the once powerful ADR-07 exploded into a chaos mess.
"Nice shot, Ryo!" Ken shouted.
"Alright! That's another one that bites the dust, baby!" Kazu exclaimed.
"It's not over yet," Sakuyamon said.
"What! You mean it's not over? But we should have had this battle won!" Silphymon stated.
"Oh yeah? You think it's over? Take a good look behind you," said Gallantmon.
They all turned around and saw another creature pop out from out of the Chaos zone itself. The monster was almost the size of a large building, it was purple and it clearly had a small head with no visible eyes. Around the center of its body was a large number of ADR-04's staring down upon the digimon group.
"AW SHIT!" the group exclaimed in unison.
"Um, guys. Looks like we're in deep trouble," said Mimi.
"Ryo! Looks like we'll need the heavy artillery for this," Stingmon said to Justimon. "Demon is really desperate if he sent out another right-hand man."
"We're not through yet. I don't care who Demon sends out next! We'll keep fighting until every one of these drones are take out once and for all!" exclaimed Gallantmon, "Who's with me!"
The digimon all called out as they started charging out towards the monstrous ADR with no signs of fear, but sheer determination and a will to win.
Elsewhere, Pikkan drags himself from the fallen debris that had fallen on him. His body was bruised and battered from the full force attack Demon had inflicted upon him.
"No… I won't give up… This can't drag on forever… Demon will die by my hand… I will see to that!"
"Die by you're hand. I'm afraid the chances of that happening are one in a million," Demon replied from above. "But if you want to gamble you're chances, then I'm willing to oblige."
"You murdered the people I ever cared for Demon… I was much too weak to ever stand a chance against you… Now it's different… My chances are very high… I will use those people's pain as my strength… Demon, you're corruptive deeds will end here…and NOW!"
Suddenly, Demon felt a ki rising from Pikkan. The demon lord has never felt such a power increase over a short period of time. Just a while ago, Pikkan's power level paled in comparison to Demon's but now the levels had changed.
"I will use their pain as my weapon. They're calling out to me. Every soul that has died by you're hand are reaching out to me… Demon, now it's you're turn to face the harsh truth about death."
Demon took several steps back from Pikkan's sudden resurgence of power. Pikkan cries out and charges out towards Demon with unbelievable speed.
"Join your brother in the after life, asshole!"
Pikkan pulls his fists back and pushes them into Demon. The demon lord lets out a loud gasp as he felt his entire body being electrocuted from Pikkan's most powerful technique.
"Thunder Flash Attack! Times Five!"
Demon screams out as he was sent flying through the skies. His body was being electrocuted like never before. Pikkan cries out and flies up to meet Demon. The alterian pushes out an invisible force, which rocks Demon back. Pikkan phases behind Demon and clubs him in the back. The force sent Demon crashing down below.
After that assault, Pikkan gathers energy in his hands and forms an enormous ball of energy.
"Have a taste of your own fucking medicine, Demon Eat this!"
With a loud war cry, Pikkan tosses the energy ball down and watches it connect with Demon's fallen corpse. A massive explosion occurs where the demon lord laid. This managed to catch the Tamer/Digi-Destined combo from their current assignment. They were set to battle the newly arrival of ADR-08.
"What was that!" Gallantmon pondered.
"It felt like an enormous energy blast, but I can't tell who created such an enormous attack," stated Sakuyamon.
"It's Pikkan! I just know it is," Rosemon replied.
"Pikkan?" Justimon asked.
"Yes, I'll explain everything later. We've got a task to complete," Silphymon replied.
"Yeah, we've got an ass-kicking to deliver. So let's make it count!" Kazu cries out.
"Yes! An ass-kicking, dude!" Guardromon responded.
"Those two will never stop joking around, won't they?" Ken thought.
D-Reaper was clearly becoming infuriated at Mystic Celesta's sudden calm and confident smirk on her face. She clenched her fists and watched as the angelic female began gathering her ki. Soon, the energy created swirls of dust around them.
Final Fantasy VII theme "Battle Theme" plays
"Now it's time for us to show you the true depth of our power. Allow us to demonstrate."
Mystic Celesta flew up as a spiral of white light started to engulf her body and a sword materialized in her hand. It is very exact sword that Gosenzomon had given her. Mystic Celesta held it tightly up in the air and a bright column of white energy started to engulf her being.
D-Reaper looked on with astonishment as the columns started to spring around and she gasped in horror as she felt the ki that was coming from Mystic Celesta. Buddamon and the two fusion warriors looked on with shock as the white columns of light faded away as the new form of Mystic Celesta appeared in their place.
Mystic Celesta's armor was now a mixture of gold, white and pink, as it represented all that was good and the power given to her by the digital universe. She looks down upon D-Reaper, who could only look on with sheer fear across her fear.
"I am Mystic Celesta. I am the protector of life. You seek destruction on innocence. I will put a stop to you're dark chaos. Light shall extinguish the darkness! Heavens! Hear my voice!"
"Yeah! Now what's what I'm talking about! Her power is off the charts!" War Angemon called out, "Kari has this in complete control! She's ten times stronger than she was seven years ago!"
"You can do it, Kari! I take back everything I said about TH!" Imperialdramon stated.
"Yet, you still can't get my name right."
"No doubt about it. Se will slay the beast," Buddamon replied, "Just you wait and see. The awesome power of the Omega Blade is legendary. She managed to pull out the sword to release Gosenzomon, a once powerful Supreme guardian during his time. Hikari is the one who will bring the D-Reaper down to her knees.
"Go for it, Kari! Strike her down and send her to the depths of hell!" War Angemon calls out.
"I never thought I say this but Kari might save us all the trouble. Well, I would just hate to have to listen to TY's gloating afterwards. Oh well, its not like he was gloating when Kari defeated Virus. Go for it, Hikari."
D-Reaper looks on with horror as Mystic Celesta quickly vanished. She was faster than perhaps the speed of light. That had to be incredibly fast! D-Reaper gasped and turned around to be met with a devastating punch to the gut by Mystic Celesta. D-Reaper gasps as she coughs out while holding her embedded chest.
"Now you're downfall shall begin, D-Reaper. Taste the power of the Omega Blade!"
Mystic Celesta started hammering away at D-Reaper with a rapid barrage of punches and kicks that even managed to overwhelm the beast. The angelic female delivers a kick to D-Reaper's face and then goes flipping into the air. D-Reaper looks up and watches Mystic Celesta summons the sword and goes bringing down upon D-Reaper.
"Omega Blade!"
D-Reaper cried out in fear just as Mystic Celesta was about to bring down the heavy sword. Then everything goes frozen afterwards with D-Reaper shocked like never before.
"Battle Theme" ends
Digimon theme "Let's Kick it Up" plays
Mystic Celesta was coming right down at D-Reaper with her blade intact and was about to slice the D-Reaper in half. D-Reaper could only watch as she was sliced in half like a tomato. The two halves started to jump around frantically. Mystic Celesta prepared to make her next attack.
As soon as D-Reaper pieced herself back together, Mystic Celesta goes charging forward with newfound speed and delivers an elbow shot to D-Reaper. This stunned the D-Reaper for a moment and then sends her staggering backwards. D-Reaper is able to recover quickly and starts getting angry at the new found speed and power her adversary has gained.
D-Reaper had just realized that this was the first time that an adversary has been to inflict pain upon her for the first time. Buddamon and the two fusion warriors watched on with awe as they were amazed to how much faster and powerful Mystic Celesta has gotten in two days.
"Wow! This is incredible! She's even stronger and faster than D-Reaper now!" War Angemon replied.
"I couldn't detect their movements. D-Reaper is sure not having a good day! Kick that bitch's ass, Kari!" Imperialdramon cries out. "What do you think Buddamon?"
"I think that Hikari just may have a chance at beating the D-Reaper! It's a synch, but I have a good feeling that the D-Reaper has finally met her match."
"Alright, Kari! Stay on her and don't let allow her time to recover! You're going to save the planet again!" War Angemon shouted out in encouragement.

Dragonball Z "Battle Theme" plays
D-Reaper sets herself up and then goes to punch her adversary, who was standing just behind her with his back turned to her. As soon as D-Reaper turned to punch him, Mystic Celesta detected her movements and delivered a clubbed fist to the monster's face. Mystic Celesta started to attack as she sends a boot to D-Reaper's face and then punches her right in the stomach. D-Reaper goes retreating in pain, but then Mystic Celesta steps right in front of the fallen monster.
"Aww. What's the matter, Reaper? Have you got a little bruise? Here let me make it all better," Mystic Celesta taunted the beast. "For a woman, you have terrible fashion taste. Oh goddramon, now I'm starting to sound like Mimi. How unfortunate."
D-Reaper attacks in response to his taunts. She starts attacking Mystic Celesta with a fury of attacks. She goes throwing out hard, rapid punches and kicks. However, Mystic Celesta was able to block each and every one of those contact attacks.
"I wasn't finished yet!" the angelic female growls.
Mystic Celesta phases behind her and charges forth, catching the monster completely off guard and striking her down to the ground. D-Reaper managed to stop herself by skidding and lies with a stunned look.
Buddamon was looking over at the whole fight and his mouth was gaping widen in surprise at what he was looking at. Now it was the D-Reaper finally being dominated by being superior to her in every aspect. Would this truly be the end to the D-Reaper's reign?
D-Reaper was now lying on the ground motionless, but Mystic Celesta knew better than to fall for this playing possum maneuver.
"You can pull off that little crap, but it still won't make a difference. You're still going to die by my hand."
D-Reaper goes leaping up onto her feet and forms a confident grin on her face. She tries to suppress her anger by trying to act confident. This way she won't be able to unleash the true maximum power of hers. Mystic Celesta walks slowly towards her adversary. D-Reaper is unable to make a single movement as Mystic Celesta delivers a devastating boot to D-Reaper's abs.
The angelic warrior continues her relentless attack as she grabs D-Reaper by her long hair and started swinging her around. D-Reaper screams out after every swing. Mystic Celesta flings D-Reaper through a nearby rock hill. After that, Mystic Celesta flies towards her fallen adversary.
D-Reaper quickly recovers and pushes her way through out of the fallen rubble. D-Reaper wrenches back and tosses a blast of energy over towards the female. However, Mystic Celesta was able to see it coming and deflects it with her hands. D-Reaper growled with sheer anger and managed to roll herself up into a ball. With a loud scream, she throws herself at Mystic Celesta.
"Holy Beam!"
The force of the beam from theHoly Beam sends the ball flying back. Mystic Celesta goes appearing out of nowhere and caught the ball. She braces himself against the D-Reaper's forward motion. With newfound strength within every fiber in her being, Mystic Celesta pushes it backwards and watched as it goes skidding across the ground and into a rock wall.
The two continued to fight between nearby abandoned buildings that were left in ruins. Since there was no living soul within the buildings, they were free to unleash their most powerful blasts at one another without restraint.
Mystic Celesta flings D-Reaper into the air, and then goes pursuing the evil monster. Mystic Celesta goes appearing in the skies and then delivered a clubbed forearm smash into the D-Reaper's stomach. The D-Reaper had never received such punishment as she was receiving just now. D-Reaper goes landing into the ground with a loud crash.
Mystic Celesta soars down back onto the ground and faces down the newly made crater and felt D-Reaper's presence from within.
"There's no way she could have been killed from that fall. It's too obvious. But I still better be careful and keep my guard," Mystic Celesta reminded himself in thought.
As soon as the smoke cloud dissipated, D-Reaper slowly sits up from her fall and rises from out of the crater. She looks around for her enemy. She crawls out and sighs to herself. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice cry out from behind her.
"Hey! Forgetting about me, already!"
D-Reaper gasped in shock and then turned to see Mystic Celesta looking down upon her with a threatening glare on her face. D-Reaper started backing away as she glowered in frustration and rage. Now it seemed that the deadly, corrupted deletion program has met her match against the ever so powerful angelic female.
"Go for it, Kari!" War Angemon cries out.
"Why isn't he going to finish off the D-Reaper? Does he seem to have a plan in mind?" Imperialdramon pondered.
"I don't know but we have to trust in Hikari's abilities," replied Buddamon, "She must have a plan set in motion."
Back over on the other side of the city, the Tamers and the Destined were preparing for themselves as the worst was yet to come in another form of an ADR. This was ADR-08 and it seemed like that it wasn't going to be fighting alone. There was an army of ADR-04 coming out of hiding.
"Look out! We've got company!" exclaimed Gallantmon.
"They're going to fire!" Sakuyamon cries out.
As soon as each of the digimon braced themselves, the ADRs were soon starting to fire away a barrage of blasts over at the digimon group. They managed to cover themselves in blocking positions. Guardromon had seen enough and decided to take some action. He went flying up attack the ADRs head on.
"Guardromon! Wait! You're no match for all of those drones at once!" Kazu exclaimed.
"Guardian Barrage!"
Guardromon watched as his missiles did very little to knock away any of the ADRs and soon was blasted right down towards the ground below. Kazu goes running over to his fallen digimon with a worried look on his face.
"Guardromon! Are you going to be okay man! Speak to me!"
"Which way did he go, George? Which way did he go?"
"Dude, you forgot my name!"
Guardromon responded by grunting with his eyes rolling back and forth. The cyborg digimon looked just about out of it after being blasted by multiple shots from the drones. Kazu remained close to his digimon partner as the others continued their attacks upon the ADRs.
"Justimon! Looks like it's up to us!" Gallantmon said, "Let's go!"
"Right."
While Sakuyamon stood her guard, the two other bio-merged megas went flying up to do battle against the ADR-04 army.
"Justice Kick!"
"Lightning Joust!"
One by one, each ADR was blasted away by the attacks. But as soon as one group was deleted, another came to replace them as if they were regenerating in a sort of way.
"Its no use! They're still coming right at us!" Justimon cried out.
"Allow us to help," said Stingmon.
"Besides, you won't be able to hold them off by yourselves," replied Rosemon.
"Lets give them the ol' digimon team effort," said Silphymon.
"Alright! Lets give it everything we got," replied Gallantmon, under Takato's voice. "On my word. Set…"
The ADR army came rushing at the digimon group at full speed and were about to unleash more burst shots. Gallantmon pointed out his lance forwards as if giving the digimon a signal to attack with everything they got.
Justimon started it off by leaping into the air and kicking away at the surrounding digimon that were coming his way. He spin kicks them one by one.
"Justice Kick!"
Justimon watched as each ADR were taken apart as a result of his mighty kick and his tenacity. Justimon looked onward and then lowered his guard before Stingmon came in for the kill on the next set of ADRs. He wrenches back both of his fists as purple blades extracted out.
"Spiking Strike!"
He goes stabbing through many ADRs that stood in his way and watched as each of them started to explode. Rosemon came next as she cupped her hands together and a green ball of energy formed. She thrusts her hands forwards and was shooting down several drones that were about to blast her. She then phased towards the damaged ADRs and sliced their cords through with a rose whip.
"Thorn Whip!"
Her beams managed to evade and delete many more ADRs along the way and Rosemon bought herself some more time to allow Silphymon to charge up his attack.
"Static Force!"
The ultimate-level digimon thrusts his hands forward and shoot out a ball of energy that plunged through many more drones and watched as they started to dissolve into particles.
Zudomon came next as he raised his hammer over a group of ADRs. He bashed each of them across the head and then slashes through their cables with his claws. Zudomon then turns and throws out his hammer as if it were a boomerang. One by one, each of the ADRs were knocked down as if they were bowling pins. Zudomon snatched back his spinning hammer and stood triumphant as the fallen ADRs were dissolving.
"Alright! That's the way, Zudomon!"
"We have to keep them busy at the moment. There's no telling when they're going to regain more momentum," Ken replied.
"So far we should be fine. Those ADRs have been nothing but cannon fodder," Silphymon stated, "But you're right. We must be extra careful."
"I wonder what's keeping Izzy. Wasn't that Grani supposed to be done right about now?" pondered Mimi.
"I was beginning to think the exact same thing," Takato said in Gallantmon's thoughts.
The Monster Makers were watching on as the nearly complete Grani was starting to move within the digital world. Izzy smirked as he stood up wiping his forehead.
"Prodigious! It's body is complete and it is functioning well," the red-haired young man said.
"So, why don't we just launch it already?" Tentomon asked.
"Hold on. We don't know for sure if its one hundred percent realized just yet."
Shibumi looked at his computer monitor and was getting a reading on its progress. It had now finally reached to one hundred percent of its realization. This is what they exactly wanted.
"Izzy! It's complete! Shall we activate it?" Shibumi asked.
"Yeah! There's no time to waste. Time to bring him into the real world. I'm safe to realize that you know what to do next, Shibumi?"
"Yes. I've got this under control."
With that said, Shibumi pulls out a blue card and does the hand movements much like those performed by the Tamers and was holding Henry's D-Ark at the same time.
"Card Slash!"
The group eyed the computer monitor and had hoped that Grani would phase out from the digital world. And to her greatest delight, their realization came true and Grani was out of the digital world.
"Sir! We're getting a reading on Grani's bio-emergence! There's currently a realization within Shinjuku."
"Good, Riley. Now all we have to do is hope and pray that it can be active in the real world," Yamaki said while flickering his lighter in anticipation.
Izzy had his fingers crossed and prayed for his project to come into realization. He worked extra hard to getting its design and its efficiency in perfect order.
"I worked so hard to get this far. Grani, don't fail on me now."
Meanwhile, Pikkan was catching his breathe after unleashing a massive assault on Demon. It looked as though he had done the demon lord in. That is until he heard a low chuckle. Pikkan's eyes widened in total shock.
Demon removed his cloak to reveal his true form. Pikkan felt the monster's power rise like never before. He had hoped it would have decreased, but it was the complete opposite.
Demon came walking out of the smoke clouds to reveal his true identity. His body was covered by dark fur, which emitted a dark purple, misty aura. His hands were tipped with razor, sharp talons. The pair of horns grew to exceedingly above his head. This made him closely resemble more to perhaps the Dark Prince himself. A third eye formed on his forehead and it emitted a blue light. The eyes glared over to Pikkan with great intensity. His mouth was much larger than the alterian expected. It was lined up with long fangs followed up two large mouths at the front of his mouth.
"So, you managed to uncloak yourself? It's about time. You should have kept you're cloak on, you ugly bastard."
"Are you repulsed by my appearance? That's okay. You won't live long enough to have to gaze upon it."
"What am I going to do? He's power has increased without the cloak. That cloak must have been weighted if he concealed half of his true power. I'm basically screwed like a one-legged pony. But I won't die… I promised to put Demon's head on a platter and I don't intend to back down from my word…"
"So, are you ready to die, Pikkan? I'm willing to end this nice and slow…" the demon lord hissed.
"By all means, go for it…"
"The Biggest Dreamer" plays
Back on the battlefield, there was a fog started to form just above the head of the towering titan ADR-08. It looked like something was about to bio-emerge. Gallantmon turns his attention from the battle and looked up towards the floating fog cloud.
"Takato! Do you see it?" asked Gallantmon. "Yeah. It looks like something is bio-emerging. But that doesn't look like any digimon."
"Who am I?"
Ken also took notice of it and could easily recognize it through the blueprints that Izzy had provided on it. He goes calling out to Gallantmon.
"Hey! Takato! That thing that's bio-emerging is Grani! That's the machine that Izzy has been working hard to perfect. We believe that any one digimon could use it. But lets see if you can get it to work."
"You want us to try it out!" Gallantmon calls out. "Well, it never hurts to try anything. Here goes nothing!"
With that said, the knight digimon goes slashing through another group of ADR-04s. He quickly then looks over and notices Grani reaching his complete realization.
"We have to reach as far as we can! We're almost there, Guilmon!"
But just as they were regaining momentum to reach over to the machine, ADR-08 started to face up and shoots out a blast from his mouth. Gallantmon was caught by surprise as he went falling back.
"Gallantmon! You guys! We better distract these drones' attention and by Gallantmon some time to reach over to Grani," Sakuyamon said. "Hang on, Takato! We're going to do our best to keep them away at the moment and allow you perfect time to reach over to Grani. Does that sound good?"
"That's a perfect plan, Rika!" Gallantmon said, under Takato's voice. "Thanks a bunch."
"Not a problem. Okay guys! Lets them have it!"
The digimon group started to attack the ADR army with their trademark attacks. This allowed Gallantmon time to recover. He looks up and notices that Grani was too far up to reach.
"Its too far up to reach! There's no way we're going to ever make it! It'd take a miracle for us to make it over to that… Wait a minute. That's it! If the fusion warriors are able to travel far distances then we should also be able to as well! Here goes nothing."
ADR-08 was turning around and shot out a beam so fast that not even the naked eye would keep up with it. However, Gallantmon was able to dissipate into matter and quickly phases out. ADR-08 was quickly overwhelmed as Gallantmon reappeared on top of Grani.
"We made it! Now it's time to summon Grani's power!" Gallantmon exclaimed as he raised his lance.
The other digimon looked on as Gallantmon's ki was rising to new heights. They didn't know how but it was a good guess that Grani provided the power-up for Gallantmon.
"Our energy has been restored! With Grani as our battle steed, we shall bring down this D-Reaper drone."
"Takato and Guilmon are able to control Grani! Unbelivable! I never knew goggle head had that in him," Sakuyamon said, under Rika's voice.
Gallantmon watched as Grani's gray armor started to light up and it transformed into a crimson color. Gallantmon points out over towards the ADRs and Grani positions itself right over to where Gallantmon to was pointing.
"Wow! Now Gallantmon is controlling Grani and pointing out to where it should attack. Its has if they were now apart of one mind," Ken said, "Izzy, my friend, you really outdone yourself this time."
Izzy and Shibumi both jumped up in celebration, as the Grani project was a success. The Monster Makers were just as ecstatic over the whole situation. Yamaki merely smiled in satisfaction.
"Prodigious! It's a success! With Gallantmon in control of Grani, we're now back in the game! And it seems Gallantmon is in complete control of Grani. There were no miscalculations after all."
"That's really something, Izzy," Tentomon said, "You really outdone yourself this time. Those drones are toast as far as I'm concerned!"
"Well I'll be darned. Who would have ever imagined Takato and Guilmon handling Grani," said Henry.
"You see! I told you never to doubt them, even if they both can be naive at times."
"True, but I'll give them credit! They're able to control Grani."
"Alright, all Gallantmon has to do is concentrate on taking out those drones," Sora said, "Then we should have one problem solved. Because it looks like Celesta X has the fight against the other D-Reaper entity in the palm of her hands."
"Right. It looks as though everything is going according to plan. But we're not out of the drivers' seats yet, guys. We've just got a first down and we're going in for the touchdown," Izzy said. "They could perhaps take Demon out of the game if Gallantmon has the chance!"
"Wow! This is so cool," Gallantmon said, under Takato's voice. "Now let's take out the trash, Takato!"
"Right and if we find Demon, blast him into smithereens!"
Gallantmon goes pointing out over towards the swarm of ADR-04s and Grani goes over charging towards them. The ADRs prepared to attack but then Gallantmon quickly phases out. The drones were caught by surprise and felt a ki reappearing from behind them. But just as they turned around, they were met with a devastating 'Lightning Joust', which easily dissolved them into data.
"Now time to cut the cords on the big guy," Gallantmon said.
As soon as they turned their attention over towards the even larger, ADR-08, the monster was about to make its attack. But then it was pulled back for some apparent reason. And the reason why was because of the other digimon pulling back on its cords.
"Alright, Gallantmon! We have him down! Time to cut him down!" Sakuyamon cries out.
"Right! And we're about to give this drone the final point!"
Gallantmon powers up his lance and Grani starts to increase its speed. ADR-08 was unable to detect of what of fate lays ahead for it. Gallantmon goes driving right through the middle section of the ADR and easily cuts through its cables like a hot knife on butter.
Gallantmon quickly reappears out of the ADR and looks on from a far off distance. The damage was done to the ADR as all of its cables were cut off. The titan was then quickly dissolved afterwards, which brought cheers among the digimon.
("The Biggest Dreamer" ends)
"Alright! Mark another victory for the good guys!" Gallantmon cries out.
"Way to go, Gallantmon! You and Grani really rocked out there!" Justimon replied.
"All in a days work."
"Those were some sweet moves there, chumley. You mind teaching how to do that?"
Just then, Gallantmon felt a disturbing ki from close by. He knew Demon was around and orders Grani to fly through to investigate.
"Takato! Where are you going!" Sakuyamon asked.
"We'll be right back! It seems Demon is around! We're going to go investigate. You guys head out back without me!"
"Be careful!"
As soon as Gallantmon flew across the city with Grani leading the way, he saw a demonic figure preparing to make his next attack on Pikkan.
"So, that's Pikkan! Hang in there! We're coming!"
"Stay back!" Pikkan cries out.
"What's this? Another friend of yours, Pikkan?" Demon pondered. "Whoever he is, I'll get rid of him myself."
"No! This is between you and I, Demon! You leave him out of this!"
"Pikkan! We can't let you do this to yourself! You'll need help!"
"Go away! I vowed to take Demon's life! Do not interfere! Now leave me!"
"Very well," Gallantmon replied. "But if you ever need our help, we're always here. After all, you helped save Jeri's life. You have our gratitude."
"You know Jeri?"
"She's a friend of ours. Thank you for saving her life, Pikkan. Now send this creep to the cleaners!"
"You got it."
With that said, Gallantmon flies off into the distance and left the two to settle their long-awaited rivalry. Pikkan gets into a battle stance as he prepared to face off against the newly powered Demon.
"Are you willing to throw your own life away to protect others? I thought I knew you better than that Pikkan."
"You don't know me very well, Demon. I'm only out to take you're life. Though, I will say that this one's for Jeri."
"Very well then. You have such false believes and you actually buy them. Only one of us will live through this day. Not only will I kill you, but I shall take over this wretched planet."
"Not unless the D-Reaper turns on you. The fool has no idea what he is messing with. The D-Reaper is only out for itself."
The two warriors stood their ground to prepare for another battle to the death. Only one of them would live through this ordeal.
Looking from above a small water tower, the two Sailors appeared to watch the battle ensue.
"He may need our help after all," Neptune replied. "This monster must be behind the whole mess."
"Agreed. This warrior is weakening and may not survive through this," Uranus replied. "Now is the perfect time to attack."
Soaring through the skies above, Grani guided Gallantmon through the thick clouds. The mega looked down to find his comrades making their way back to a rest stop.
"You guys! We're back!"
"It's about time," Sakuyamon replied.
Sakuyamon goes flying by Gallantmon and looks right over towards him with a smile on her face.
"Those were some bold maneuvers, Gallantmon. But how were you able to easily control Grani for your first time?"
"We're not really sure. But I guess since we were so driven to defeat the drones that he craved to use Grani and once he hopped aboard, we felt Grani's power entering us. It was a cool feeling and we were both driven to defeat the D-Reaper."
"Interesting. You must feel at least two times more powerful with Grani."
"You could say that."
"I must say you were really something out there."
"Thanks, Sakuyamon."
"Anytime."
"So, why did you come back?"
"That Pikkan guy Jeri told me about wanted to handle the battle to himself. So I respected his wishes. He'll handle Demon for us. We've got the D-Reaper to worry about."
"Agreed. We know what we must do."
With that said, the two megas go flying off into the distance with the other digimon following close behind them.
Back over at the other side of the city, D-Reaper and Mystic Celesta were staring each other down while D-Reaper has developing a burning rage within her. Her face soon was becoming twisted with both rage and anger. It looked as if her eyes were about to bulge out. Veins were now starting to appear on her forehead.
"Shit, it looks like I pissed her off," Mystic Celesta thought.
Mystic Celesta stood her ground and watched as bolts of red electricity start to voltage all around D-Reaper's body. Then a low, humming noise was heard each time her red aura was glowing, also giving off a pulsating sound. Then mega then listens as D-Reaper began to ramble on angrily.
"NO! THIS CAN'T BE! SHES STRONGER! I'M SUPPOSED TO BE STRONGER! DAMN IT! DAMN IT! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME! WHY CAN'T I EVEN TOUCH HIM! CURSE YOU, MYSTIC CELESTA! I HATE YOU! I FUCKING HATE YOU!"
With that said, D-Reaper screamed out demonically and pushes out a column of red energy from her surroundings and the buildings standing around her were starting to crumble. Streets were being caved into the ground and the skies were becoming darker with bolts of electricity showering down over D-Reaper. Her eyes were now starting to become a bloody red instead of its cool, misty purple aura.
Back over at the old Hypnos headquarters, the Monster Makers and the Wild Bunch were covering their ears while overhearing the D-Reaper's screams. The Digi-Destined and Tamers had arrived as well but then were covering their ears.
"Whoa! This thing has issues! Here I thought children were worse!" Tentomon remarked.
"You're right and with all of that energy compressed within the D-Reaper, it could very well destroy this whole planet if it wanted to," Izzy said.
"Everyone, revert from your stations! We can't be too sure how safe it will be to remain at your computers. A sudden crash failure could occur with all of these surge of electrical energy coming down!" Yamaki called out.
"How's Celesta X fairing against the D-Reaper?" asked Takato.
"Well, if the D-Reaper is not looking so hot right about now, I'd say that Kari was in complete control," Henry replied.
"Yeah! She was giving D-Reaper the good old-fashioned butt kicking! You should have seen the look on D-Reaper's face! Ha! But it almost gave me the willies. Ech," Terriermon remarked.
"Great, just great. With all of this sudden increased electrical activity running amuck, we have no chance to walking out there to investigate that sphere floating in the center of the twin towers," Talley stated.
"Look. The electrical energy is suddenly dying down. The D-Reaper must be claming itself. Looks like we're out of danger for now," Janyuu said, "But we must be on alert! We'll never know when that thing is going to have another temper tantrum."
"Yeah and here I thought my temper was bad," Rika said, "But this D-Reaper is nothing more than an overgrown crybaby."
"More like a psychotic bitch," Terriermon remarked.
"Which makes it a good thing. You certainly wouldn't want to end up like that thing," Renamon said.
"What's that supposed to be mean?" Rika asked demandingly.
"Nothing, just making a compliment."
"Celesta X seems to be getting the upper hand. Lets just hope it stays that way,"Izzy said to himself. "We can't allow the D-Reaper to get anymore second chances."
Everybody soon got back into their positions and went straight to work on investigating the D-Reaper mass within the central part of West Shinjuku. There was something peculiar about the floating sphere and they would soon get to the bottom of it.
Beelzebumon was flying over the D-Reaper mass while taking a good look over at the mysterious sphere floating between the center of the two towers. A look of curiosity forms across his face.
"Hmmm, I wonder why that sphere is there. What could that D-Reaper be planning? Well, I'm just glad there haven't been any dopey drones to get in my way. Oh well. I shouldn't even bother. It's been too boring here. I better head off back to Ai and Makoto. And… whoa! Hey, you just ruined my thoughts! I'm sensing something huge over in the northern direction. It's off the scale! There's two major powers…"
Beelzebumon stood frozen for a moment and his eyes go wide all of a sudden at what he felt.
"Aw shit! There she blows!"
As soon as Demon and Pikkan were about to make their next attack, they turned and felt the enormous ki emitting from the D-Reaper.
"What! It's the D-Reaper's ki!" Pikkan exclaimed.
"That's right. You better pray she doesn't kill us off first. Then again, I embrace death unlike a weakling such as yourself."
"I'll prove you wrong, bastard."
D-Reaper's rage was now beginning to reach all new heights, as it suddenly broke out of its calm frame of mind. Mystic Celesta was restrained herself back and watched as D-Reaper was bloating up.
"YOU'VE PISSED ME OFF! I HATE YOU! I WANT YOU TO DIE! HA! NOW I'LL KILL YOU WITH ME!"
"What!"
"Oh no! Daisuke! Takeru! We have to take cover! The D-Reaper is about to blow!" exclaimed Buddamon.
"WHAT!"
Buddamon quickly snatches both fusion warriors and quickly takes cover underneath a pile of rubble. Mystic Celesta looks on with shock and then goes jumping out of the way. With on loud scream of rage, the D-Reaper exploded with a flash of red light shooting out in all directions and a huge shockwave was covering half of the city.
Earthquakes were starting to shake at where the whole bunch was. The Monster Makers, The Wild Bunch, The Destined and the Tamers were all taking cover. But each of the digimon, excluding Calumon, was looking out towards the window and saw a huge mushroom cloud forming within the outskirts of the city.
"That must have been the D-Reaper," said Henry, "It has to be. Mystic Celesta must have caused her to self-destruct."
"Yeah! That means D-Reaper realized its defeat and didn't want anymore part of Kari," Kenta said, "Looks like we've won this battle."
"Right. Remember what the sovereigns told us, if we defeated one entity of the D-Reaper, then the other will fall. So we took out old Ms. McGrumpy and the chaos mass should be weakened," said Terriermon.
"Nice terminology, Terriermon. But that's not the way its going to happen," Renamon said.
"Huh! Why not? But you saw what just happened," Guilmon said.
"Yes, but I can still feel the D-Reaper's ki."
"What! I can't even feel it. C'mon you're just being paranoid," said Biyomon.
"Oh no, I can feel it alright," Gomamon said, "And I ain't joking around this time."
"You're right. I doubt the D-Reaper would self-destruct just because it was about to be defeated," said Leomon, "D-Reaper is not stupid. In fact, she must have done this to make herself stronger once she regenerates."
This shocking revelation silenced everyone in the room that includes the whole digimon group.
"You think Celesta X will even have a chance of beating her in the next round?" Takato asked.
"It's very doubtful, but I still believe Kari can pull it off," the brave warrior replied.
"Um, sir. I'm also getting another pair of readings. Two wild ones are about to bio-emerge," Riley said.
"What! But I thought every trace of digital life was destroyed in the digital world."
"Doesn't seem that way and they've just bio-emerged within the city."
Leomon closed his eyes and could easily sense the kis that were about to bio-emerge. One of them happened to be a very particular digimon who was considered the only friend to the D-Reaper. And that would none other than…
Mummymon and Black Gatomon found themselves right in the devastated ruins of the once great city of West Shinjuku. Mummymon realized that the environment that he was standing on was organic and felt a very dark presence.
"So this I'm back on Earth?"
"Yes, Mummymon. You remember this planet pretty well. I've only been here once when a data stream caught me. I found my way back when a digital field emerged."
"So is D-Reaper really here?"
"I have no doubt. Dee is here, and this destruction pretty much proves it. It's as heavily destroyed as it is in the digital world."
"Well, at least the digital world I came from is still in safe hands…"
"For now. Remember, Dee hasn't exactly been satisfied yet."
Mummymon stopped at his tracks as he saw something starting to reform on the ground. It looked like pieces of the chaos itself as they started to move about like snakes in grass.
"Whoa! Is that slime apart of Dee?"
"It's proof enough! Let's go check it out!"
"Hey wait for me!"
Black Gatomon goes pouncing off into the far off distance with Mummymon hot on his trails. They were running over towards the scene of the battle that took place between D-Reaper and Mystic Celesta.
Mystic Celesta looked across the ground with utter disbelief, but then turned to see War Angemon and Imperialdramon jumping out of hiding.
"Kari! You rocked out there!" War Angemon exclaimed, "I never doubted you."
"I kind of surprised myself," Mystic Celesta replied.
"So, is the D-Reaper really gone?" asked Imperialdramon, "I don't even feel her ki anymore."
"Looks like I pretty much scared the shit out of here. She was practically beaten by me," Mystic Celesta replied, "But I guess she knew that I was simply toying with her."
"You mean you didn't even reach your full maximum power!" Buddamon asked frantically.
"Well, because I would have killed her off in a matter of seconds and I was looking for a good fight. But, I must say D-Reaper was pretty impressive at first until I used the Omega Blade."
"Awesome! Then, that means you've surpassed your brother," Imperialdramon stated. "By the way, where is he?"
"He's with Shintomon back in the outer digital universe. He's making amends to him about something. I really don't know the details, but he'll be back. You can rest assure that."
"Good. Well, TK. Another battle won by us. I'm not even worried anymore," said Imperialdramon.
"Same here. Hey Kari, one more thing before we go. You wanna see our fusion technique?"
"Yeah. I've been dying to see it, TK. Let's take a look at it."
The two warriors nodded to each other as they performed the fusion dance and then pointed the tip of their fingers towards each other. Buddamon looks on with great interest.
"FUSION EVOLVE!"
Then a bright flash of light engulfed the two as they were quickly merged into one being and they stood out as War Dramon. Mystic Celesta looked on with amazement and started clapping.
"So, what did you think?"
"Awesome! I couldn't have done it better myself."
"All right. Now we're going to power up into our third level stage forms. Check this out."
As soon as they said that, War Dramon powers up and bright flash of golden blue energy surrounded his body. Mystic Celesta was again impressed at what she was looking at and started clapping once again.
"Like I said, nicely done!"
"Ok, now that playtime is over. Don't you think we should be heading back to the digital world?" Buddamon asked.
"No. We still have to take care of the blob mass. Lets go before it's too late," Mystic Celesta said.
Suddenly, just as War Dramon and Buddamon were about to follow him off, a glob of red chaos came out of nowhere and it started to engulf both of the warriors. Mystic Celesta turns and gasped in surprise at what she looking at.
"No! Davis! TK! Buddamon! Hold on!"
But as soon as Mystic Celesta tried to save them, it was all but too late. D-Reaper, who was now pieced back together, came popping out from the debris with a psychotic look on her face.
"No! But you're dead!"
"Think again! Now your comrades are nothing more than little pawns of my game! They will become apart of me!"
"No! I don't think so!"
"You're already too late. Now behold the emergence of my next evolution!"
With that said, the two globs that covered both War Dramon and Buddamon came bouncing away and attached themselves onto the D-Reaper. Mystic Celesta stopped at her tracks as the D-Reaper absorbed the warrior-contained globs and witnessed the D-Reaper making some sort of weird metamorphosis.
"No! It was too careless! I should have finished that damn thing off when I had the chance! This is all my damn fault!"
Has Mystic Celesta sealed her own fate! The D-Reaper has outsmarted out powerful hero and absorbed both War Dramon and Buddamon. Just who deadly will the D-Reaper become with these two absorbed into her being? Can the Tamers take action to save Mystic Celesta? Will Pikkan finish off Demon? How will the two Sailor Soldiers contribute to Pikkan's battle? Tai! It looks like earth will need you again! What will you do now?
