SSJ4T: Hey, all! I hope you had a good Thanksgiving! I had a really good time grubbing down on a lot of turkey. Too bad we didn't get any ham.
Coral: Oops. I was supposed to bring some ham. My bad…
Max: Pitiful, you ate the ham, didn't you?
SSJ4T: She doesn't have to say anything. It's written all over her damn face.
Coral: Well excuse me! We saiyans can resist a nice chunk of meat put in front of us. It's our instinct to eat whatever is put in front of us. So sue me.
The glass breaks and WWE's Stone Cold Steve Austin comes walking in.
SSJ4T: Oh my god! It's Stone Cold!
Stone Cold: Hey, all! I just wanted to come back to see who's the culprit who took my ham.
SSJ4T: That was your ham!"
Max and SSJ4T point to Coral. The saiyan girl looks to both and nods her head.
Coral: Look, Stone Cold. No hard feelings. I was just hungry. That's all.
Stone Cold: Well, do you want to taste an Anti-Saiyan Stone Cold Stunner?
Coral: You wouldn't!
Stone Cold: You damn right!
Coral: Why don't we share a beer instead. Bring on the Steveweisers?
Stone Cold: Well, it is a day after Thanksgiving, so I could use some beer to wash down that turkey and stuffing. Give us some damn beer!
Stone Cold turns and catches some beer. He hands one to SSJ4T, then one to Max and another to Coral.
SSJ4T: While we enjoy ourselves a little beer bash, you guys get on and read the fic! Enjoy!

Shintomon's Scared Sanctuary
Back on the nearly reduced and decimated planet, the now powered up third-level Omega X and Gallantmon were standing on top of nearby rock precipices as they glared down upon the psychotic weapon of destruction, D-Reaper. She stood on another rock ledge while giggling to herself. The red aura around her was starting to get even darker and larger.
Mummymon goes hiding from the scene with Black Gatomon at his side. His eyes were closed while covering his head.
"Tell me when it's going to be over, Black Gatomon. Tell me when it's going to be over."
"It doesn't look like its about to be over anytime soon."
"Man, you black cats are nothing more than bad luck. I should have listened to Arukenimon much more on those stupid superstitions. Go, Omega X! Kick her butt! Give her a one two!"
"Ha, some coward you are," remarked Black Gatomon.
"Oh, Pikkan," Jeri muttered. "Please, they'll need you. I just hope you're wounds heal in time."
"Poor, Pikkan. He needs some nappy time. Culu," the tiny digimon cooed.
D-Reaper grinned over towards Omega X and Gallantmon before suddenly starting to charge up another attack. The duo both quickly phased out and started to a double team spar against the D-Reaper across the darkened skies above. Because of this, the trio created large masses of energy throughout the skies above. Mummymon merely saw flashes of light sparking off onto one another. Omega X shoots out a ki blast that nearly blasted D-Reaper into pieces, but she was able to maneuver around it. Gallantmon went for another Lightning Joust technique, but was unable to catch up with D-Reaper's speed. Growing frustrated, the duo threw out a double blast towards the deletion program. Unfortunately, she quickly turned as the massive blast struck her.
The tag team duo looked on and basically wasted time as the pieces managed to come together and the D-Reaper was able to reform hastily. She regenerated herself and started attacking the two warriors once again.
Gallantmon runs across the landscape, while Omega took it to the skies against the D-Reaper. The two clashed into the skies as they traded blow for blow, emitting sparks of light among each other and hard fists were thrown at each other's fists. They seemed to be evenly matched as of now, but could change into either one's favor.
"Tai better hold her off while I recover," Gallantmon said. "Stay in the game, Tai! We've got her on the run!"
"Easy for you to say!" Omega X cries out.
Planet Tunip
The Tamers and the Digi-Destined were looking on with astonishment at the turn out of the battle itself. The digimon have been moving their eyes around back and forth as if trying to follow the movements of the sparks of light that the two fighters were battling as.
Shintomon and Buddamon both were able to keep up with their movements but were amazed at how fast their fighting rate was improved over a short period of time, especially that of Omega X. That power up that he received a little while ago really has helped him a lot.
"Oh yeah! He nails her with a right and a left! Oh, c'mon! Who taught you how to fight!" Terriermon teased.
"That would be me," X replied. "I see you're enjoying yourself, Terriermon."
"Heh. You bet."
"I don't see you out there helping any."
"Hey, that was low of you, Zorro!"
"Terriermon…" Henry muttered. "What did I tell you about name calling?"
"You don't need to worry," the masked man said. "I've had my share of insults and I don't let them weigh in on me."
"Henry? When do we get a crack shot at the D-Reaper? I just can't sit around here and do nothing!"
"Not yet, we'll wait until Takato and the others are giving out."
"Looks like they're just about to give out as we speak," Shintomon stated. "C'mon, Tai! Don't hold back! I don't even care if you happen to nuke my planet, just defeat the D-Reaper!"
Digial Limbo
Even, down in the depths of Digital Limbo, the evil villains were watching the battle unfold through a crystal ball as well. Among those familiar villains in the crowd were Metal Etemon, Devimon, Metalseadramon, Puppetmon, Burizalor, Datamon, Iceladydevimon, Shadramon, Neo Devimon, Piedmon and Virus. They were all looking on with great astonishment at their greatest adversary. The digimon villains are unable to recognize Omega X, but Burizalor and Virus could remember him quite well.
"Hey! Isn't that the boy who inherited the crest of courage?" asked Metalseadramon, "I can recognize that power! How am I able to sense his power!"
"That's him! Whoa! Talk about a power growth!" Puppetmon cried out.
"So, Agumon's power has grown tremendously since those many years ago?" Neo Devimon. "I have a lot of catching up to do."
"He's fighting the true enemy," stated Mihiramon. "I shouldn't have been sent to Limbo for this. That Magimon manipulated me and forced me to betray my master, Zhuqiaomon."
"So, who are you going for?" Marine Devilin asked.
"Neither… I hope they bother perish."
"Feh, you're no fun," Skull Satan muttered. "That Digi-Destined punk is going to die!"
Burizalor had a rather angry look on his face and could remember what happened when he faced Omega X many years ago. He still couldn't get over that and was clenching his fists.
"Cool it, Burizalor. We know about you're run-in with this guy," said Metal Etemon, "But times have changed. Lets move on and just watch…"
"Kick his ass, whoever you are! I want you to kill him!" Burizalor shouted to the crystal ball. "Kill him! Kill him! Kill him!"
"He's bitter isn't he?" asked Datamon.
"Very," Skull Satamon replied.
"Wow. You guys want to kick his ass even more than I do," Virus said, "Why didn't Taichi go all out in his battle with me? I was looking forward to a real contest of strength. This little imp is putting up more of a fight than I did."
"Hey? Who's that girl that Omega X is fighting. I can't believe I'm sensing a great power from her," said Demidevimon.
Suddenly, there was a sudden laughter in the background. The villains all turned around and saw none other than Dark Magimon himself.
"That girl would none other be my servant. That is the D-Reaper, the single most destructive force ever created. My father, Black Magimon, created her. Have you guys ever met him?"
"NO!"
"Well, anyway, I taught all of those moves for the D-Reaper. Now she's going to help get the job done. I sense that she already has destroyed the Earth. All she has to do is exterminate the four Digital Realms, and then my goal shall be completed! Ha! Ha!"
"Yes! Don't worry. I'm sure that this guy isn't going to last any longer with you're pupil," said Piedmon.
"Yes, I hope this entertains you my good friends. Enjoy the fireworks!"
"We will, Magimon!"
As soon as Magimon goes walking out laughing, the villains were looking back at the battle in great awe. But just as Dark Magimon walked out of the chamber, he growled and started to curse under his breath.
"Argh! I hope that Omega X beats that no good traitor! You hear me! I hope you kill that traitor for me!"
Looking on from a far distance, Black War Greymon watched the battle unfold through the orb. A look of curiosity crossed his stone cold glare.
"Taichi… My how the mighty has risen. I may have been created to exterminate you, but you've earned my respect. You've already surpassed me and are willing to stake you're life for the sake of others. You possess pride, one of the seven deadly sins. But it is that sin that will help save the Digital Universe. How ironic…"
The dark mega continued watching the battle unfold and studied everything his former enemy was throwing at the imp known as D-Reaper.
Planet Tunip
The group of Tamers and the Destined were continuing the watches the battle unfold between Omega X level three and the D-Reaper. However, the higher powers were soon starting to worry.
"If the battle continues at this rate, then we should very well kiss the sacred grounds of our planet goodbye," Buddamon said.
"Yes. Its such a shame it had to end this way," replied Shintomon.
"I wouldn't say that," stated X. "Don't worry about it. We'll fix it right up."
"You younglings always worry about every small detail," Gosenzomon replied. "We'll clean it up. This is the fate of the Digital Universe we're talking about it. Let them throw out the rulebook and turn this into an anything goes brawl! I just love watching some ass kicking."
"Either he's been watching too many of those kung fu movies or the old coot flipped," Yamaki thought. "Either way, there's not really much you can do, guardian."
"Such a shame," Shintomon said. "And I decorated the whole planet for the past few hundred years."
Shintomon's Scared Sanctuary
Omega X and Gallantmon slammed D-Reaper through the ground below with tremendous force. But she manages to tuck herself into a ball and charges right back up at the warriors, striking them in the chest. Omega X goes coughing out blood as a result of the blow. Gallantmon lands face-firs on the ground. D-Reaper bounced off the rock walls as if she was a ping-pong ball and continues to pursue Omega X. Omega X dropped towards the ground and D-Reaper slams into it in a blast of rubble.
(Dragonball Z "Hikari no Will Power" plays)
D-Reaper's major impact has managed to create a deep depression into the ground below. Omega X gazed down upon it, as if wondering where his adversary was. She looked as if she instantly disappeared. Suddenly, the ground started to rumble like an earthquake, which causes Omega X to move out towards that direction. Unfortunately, he was unable to pinpoint the location of D-Reaper. Gallantmon rose to his feet just in time before D-Reaper could pull him through the ground.
Suddenly, D-Reaper comes blasting up and buries the duo into a pile of rubble. They realized that D-Reaper was already reading their moves well as if she had already analyzed their techniques. The duo slowly made it to their feet and glared at the monster as she starts giggling.
"I JUST LOVE THIS! CHAOS AND DESTRUCTION! DON'T YOU LOVE IT! HA!"
Metalla X, Beelzebumon and Mystic Celesta all looked on from a distant cliff, each amazed at the D-Reaper's unlimited power supply. It was quite unpredictable and neither one could detect her movements.
The D-Reaper goes to dive in for another attack, and this causes Omega X to force himself to go all out in this battle. Gallantmon used more time to recover from his wounds and to find an opening to restart his attack.
"She's detecting every single one of my movements and techniques. I better go all out and throw out the damn rulebook! Time to fight dirty!"
"I HATE FAIRPLAY! I'LL KILL YOU DEAD!"
"Come and hit us with everything you have, D-Reaper! I promise we're not going down until you're we hand you you're ass!" Gallantmon exclaimed, under Takato's voice. "I don't like this cursing, Takato. However, we're fighting D-Reaper so let's curse all we want!"
Omega X quickly cups his hands together and forms an energy ball in his hands. As soon as D-Reaper came closer at him, Omega X thrusts his cupped hands forwards with tremendous force behind it.
"Terra Beam!"
D-Reaper stopped at her tracks and was engulfed in the beam of light. She screamed out as she was quickly vaporized. Omega X manages to power down and flies down with an exhausted look on his face. He had felt his tremendous energy force leaving him as a result. He released a great deal of energy while in his third level form, which took a lot out of the warrior.
"Yeah! Way to go, Tai! I didn't have to use the last reserves of my power to waste her!"
"Shit, it's not over… How obvious…"
"Say what! But you wasted her!"
"Remember, she can regenerate and at a molecular level!"
"Aw, crap!"
However, their sudden victory ended as the pieces of D-Reaper started to reform into smaller, multiple versions of the D-Reaper. They all looked upward and each started to fire ki blasts towards the duo. This was enough for the warriors to take the blasts and Omega X quickly powers out of his third ascendant form. Omega X fell down on his knees as if he were about to pass out from power exhaustion. Gallantmon took the blasts and was brought down to his knees. Fortunately for them, they were deleted from D-Reaper's blasts. They had been very lucky to survive this far longer than anyone expected.
"That's it! You two stay here for now! I'm going down there!" Metalla X cried out.
"But you'll end up as Tai! You can't even go ascend into the third level!" Mystic Celesta exclaimed.
"Let him go, pineapple head. If he wants to take her on alone, then we should respect his wishes," said Beelzebumon, "Besides, if I were him, I would have just gone out there and given it my all."
Metalla X goes speeding off into the battlefield. Mystic Celesta looked on with astonishment while Beelzebumon managed to remain cool and concentrated on the turnout of the battle itself.
"But lets just see if Metalla X puts up a good effort against this thing," Beelzebumon said in thought.
Metalla X goes landing onto the battlefield and runs over towards Omega X's side. Omega X didn't have enough strength to pull himself up, but Metalla X realized that his comrade needed to take a rest for a while.
"Matt! Thank goodness. We were just getting the tar beaten out of us!" Gallantmon stated. "Whatever you do, watch out for her energy blasts. They put some damage to our bodies."
"Don't underestimate her, Matt. She's more powerful than she looks. If she was able to take Takato and I down while still in my third level form, then there's no possible way you can defeat her on your own."
End theme
"I KILL THEM DEAD! HOW FUN THIS IS! LA! LA! LA! HA! HA! HA!"
"Don't worry. You two try to regain your ki. I'll take this psycho bitch."
The small D-Reapers all started to laughed as they were quickly reforming into a cloud, which would then once again form into the D-Reaper. Metalla X screamed out and powers up to his second level form. He flies out in pursuit of the little D-Reapers and starts hurling ki-blasts over at each and every one of them. D-Reaper quickly reforms into one body and starts laughing maniacally. She goes and shoots an energy attack at Metalla X and starts attacking her adversary. She was now easily trashing her adversary.
"I really can't believe that those two boys did so well against this thing, yet D-Reaper is handing my ass on a silver platter! Tai was right! I never should have underestimate D-Reaper's unlimited power! Fuck, she's way too fast!"
Metalla X manages to dash out of D-Reaper's reach, and she started mocking him by making silly faces at him.
"No! I'm the Digi-Destined of Friendship! I have longed to become the leader of the Digi-Destined, ever since our first adventure. I even tackled with the strongest forces out there myself. But yet, I end up being the one whose face is in the damn mud. But not now! I can't allow myself to be defeated so easily again! Hell no! I'm not going fail!"
Metalla X goes on the offense and starts attacking D-Reaper, who easily starts evading each of his attacks. Metalla X flies back and starts firing ki blasts, which managed to blast away D-Reaper's legs off. But they were quickly regenerated. Metalla X cries out angrily and shoots them off several more times. But each time, the efforts were proven to be futile as D-reaper simply regenerated her legs.
D-Reaper pulls back on her leg, as it started stretching out. She then pulls back and deliver s a kick to Metalla X's stomach. This resulted him to go flying back through a nearby rock face. D-Reaper grins over at him, and Metalla X was slowly making up on his feet.
"There's no way I'm going to beat this monster myself! There's just no way at all! Shit!"
D-Reaper slowly starts approaching Metalla X as she prepared to fire a large energy blast at him. Metalla X started to cross his arms over his face, in a defensive position.
"This is the end… I can't believe it had to end like this. This is goodbye, Tai…"
D-Reaper starts walking over and prepares to blast Metalla X right out of existence. But then just in the nick of them, Omega X goes lunging up from below and strikes D-Reaper, sending her backwards. Gallantmon leaps towards the D-Reaper and blasts her away with her away with a massive shield blast.
"Shield of the Just!"
However, the punishment wasn't going to end from there. There were two more blasts coming out of nowhere.
"Holy Beam!"
"Death Slinger!"
The energy blasts managed to push the D-Reaper back further into several rock faces nearby. Mystic Celesta and Beelzebumon both stood while attempting to catch their breath, with their respective weapons already smoking with exhaustion.
"D-Reaper, you maybe the strongest fighter in the digital universe. But there's no way we're going to give up in this battle," Mystic Celesta said.
"Yeah! You picked five wrong guys to mess with," Beelzebumon replied, "How do you like it when you face ends up being in the mud? Let me tell ya, its not good. I even had to experience it myself."
"We're not going to lose that easily, D-Reaper. No matter how much you try to kill us, we're still going to keep coming at you with every within the inch of our bodies! Until the end of time if we have to!" Omega X cried out.
"Let me put this in words so that you can understand: Just bring it!" Gallantmon waved his hand over to the enemy.
"I HATE YOU ALL! YOU TALK SO DAMN MUCH! I KILL YOU DEAD!"
With that said, Omega X quickly explodes with a golden aura of light and charges right for the D-Reaper once again, which to Metalla X's surprise. He then transforms straight into his third level form and attacks the D-Reaper with gusts of energy behind him. Gallantmon follows it up with a massive power-up. His armor was giving off a crimson red aura.
Metalla X goes dropping to the ground as he gazes up and witnesses the battle unfolds between the D-Reaper, Omega X and Gallantmon. He was now about to say something that would definitely bring about the end to their long-time rivalry that has ensued ever since they first went into the Digital World on their first adventure. These words would finally change the way Matt has always been, a second-rate Digi-Destined wanting to be leader for such a long time.
"Tai… You have definitely proven it on many occasions and I'm not going to be opposing your power any longer. You are destined to be the leader of the Digi-Destined. NO matter how hard I've tried, you always seem to overcome many odds and surpass me. It's just like you Kamiyas. You always seem to come out on top in the end. First, you surpassed me, then your own sister surpassed me and now you have once again risen to new levels of power. Omega X Level Three! When did I ever see it coming? Never, I was too foolish to realize this. Tai, you are the greatest Digi-Destined and the one that will lead us into victory in the end. Now, you have a pupil like Takato? You and him are the only ones that rival the D-Reaper, at this moment. I certainly won't forget what happened during all of those times…"
Flashback
Tai and Matt were arguing over finding the other Digi-Destined back then during their first adventures. Matt was angry over the fact that he believed Tai wouldn't help him find TK first.
"No! First we find TK, and then we'll fight your battles! Who died to make you the leader!"
"Dude what's eating you!"
End of Flashback
"You seemed so bossy and always wanted to get your way all the time. That was one thing that I hated about you. But you always seem to think that was the right choice to do. And it usually always was. I hated myself for being so wrong. I was just nothing more than a whiny child always trying to get my way. I've always been like that. Then, there was the time you and I finally had our showdown. It was a moment I would never forget. I was turned into an evil bastard all because of Burizalor's damn influence. He used me to kill you and kidnap Takeru."
Flashback
"Matt! What has gotten into you? Why are you being such an ass and what's the point of joining with guys like Neo Devimon and Etemon?"
"I have a reason. I wanted to be leader of the Digi-Destined. I wanted to lead the team. However, you wouldn't allow me. Now TK looks up to you more than he does me."
"That's not true. He loves you as his big brother. I'm just a step brother to him, but you're his real brother."
"Quit trying to butter me up. I will take TK back from you. I won't allow you to corrupt his mind anymore."
"Dude, what are you on!"
"I was given a chance and recruited. I wanted my digimon to become stronger than yours and he has given me that opportunity."
"Who is this 'he'? Who gave you this chance? Is he the one who recruited you?"
"Heh. You bet your damn dollar that he did. I am now given the chance to kill you and take my brother back. He's going to be a fine soldier."
"You're wrong. You're being deceived. Whoever recruited you is an idiot. He has no idea of your crest of friendship. That's who you are. You're the Digi-Destined of friendship."
"Ugh! Stop it with this crap! Enough! How could a low life like you understand? I was chosen to be the top elite and I have pretty much lived up to that reputation. Now, I just let you speak your mind. Shall we begin?"
"Whatever. Let's get this over with."
"Metal Garurumon! You're up!"
"Right."
"Don't let me down, War Greymon."
"I got this one."
With that said, Metal Garurumon crouched back and was ready to go. He readied his missiles and growled to himself. War Greymon crouches and takes a battle pose. The two faced off as the winds were blowing at their directions. Tai faced off against Matt as they pierced looks towards one another.
The two megas struggled with one another as the blasts were forcing each other back. The entire area was brightened by the powerful light, which the blasts were emitting. War Greymon pushed back within every fiber in his body. Metal Garurumon did the same thing and was gaining more ground. From then, War Greymon had no choice but to increase his power.
"Mach Speed Times Five!"
With that said, War Greymon releases more power and his Terra Beam increased in massive size. It easily overtaken Metal Garurumon's attack and was being launched back towards him. Metal Garurumon looked on with shock as his eyes widened. Matt gasped with a gaping mouth, but Tai stood proud.
"Metal Garurumon!"
The metallic wolf was launched backwards along with the blast. War Greymon watched as the blast sent Metal Garurumon soaring towards the skies above. War Greymon kneeled to the ground as his body was quickly giving out on him. Tai jumped up and raised his fists in victory.
"Yeah! We did it! You sent Metal Garurumon to kingdom come!"
End of Flashback
""Unfortunately, you were well-prepared for me and War Greymon overwhelmed Metal Garurumon. Nonetheless, I hated you for that. Then, there was the time you arrived on Spiral Mountain and War Greymon made Metal Tyrannus look like he were standing still…"
Flashback
"You punks are going bye bye! GIGA-"
The digimon started to panic, which didn't suite well for the children. Tai simply stood there as he gazed at the scene. Matt and Metal Garurumon waited for who would make their move first.
"DESTROYER- II-"
Suddenly, the titan felt an unpleasant pain across his chest and his eyes bulged out from his head. He stood and looked down to find War Greymon with an elbow across the titan's exposed chest. War Greymon stepped away and left Metal Tyrannus staggering around in pain.
"Sorry about that, but my digimon saw an opening that screamed out attack. And so, he did," Tai stated.
The Digi-Destined were stunned beyond belief, even the digimon were shocked by the sudden turn of events. War Greymon easily took down a monster, which gave everyone else a hard time. It was all from just one simple elbow blow to the gut. Metal Tyrannus fell to the ground unconscious. Marine Devilin and Skull Satan were shocked. Metal Tyrannus was put down in one blow.
"Did War Greymon just beat him?" Kari asked.
"N-No way. It can't be possible," Sora muttered.
"All he gave him was a simple elbow shot to the gut," said Gatomon.
"Damn him!" Matt muttered. "So, what's the verdict, Metal Garurumon?"
"It was no trick not was it a technique. It was just as we saw. It was just one tremendous blow."
"Then he's utterly surpassed a mega digimon's strength! He's a completely different warrior from the one that Metal Garurumon fought in the digital world. What kind of training did he do? Is the legend true? Is he the one? The chosen digital warrior with a united human and digimon soul?"
End of Flashback
"At last, you were able to surpass me, Tai! You and Agumon were always a great team. However, I never took that road to success. I've always had to climb to reach to the top. What separated you from myself was that you've smiled at very possible new evil force that has arrived to challenge you're authority. Whether it be Burizalor, Virus or Datamon himself. You've always laughed at the possible opposition. Even if they were a million times stronger than yourself. You've always been like that from the start."
Omega X and Gallantmon executed a double-clothesline to take down the D-Reaper. The entity recovers by jumping up onto her feet. She blasts them both with massive ki-blasts.
"You've definitely proved your worth, Tai. You have managed to damage my pride. My main goal was to surpass and replace you as the leader of the Digi-Destined. I've always strived to become the best there ever was. But I've failed. Is it really the love for Sora, your sister, your family and the other Digi-Destined that inspired you to reach for this level of power? But that couldn't be right. I have my own fiancée, Mimi, and I already have a son. I guess its because Tai and myself fight for different reasons- I kill my enemies and anybody who hurts my family. Tai only surpasses his limits to protect those he loves. That's why he never felt the need to really kill anybody, unless it was for a good reason. That's why he let me live too. I can't deny this anymore; there is no point in denying. Tai, you may have a good heart. You can come off as an arrogant punk, but one with good heart. You are the greatest digital warrior… You are number one"
Mystic Celesta and Beelzebumon looked onto the battlefield and were watching Metalla X this whole time.
"I think he's finally realized who really is number one," Mystic Celesta. "He finally admitted that Tai is the best?"
"Well I'll be damned," Beezlebumon replied. "The guy actually has a heart."
Omega X and Gallantmon knocks down the D-Reaper into the ground and pursues her. D-Reaper goes for her kicking technique once again as she plunged her foot into the ground and having it come up below Omega X. She then fires away a ki-blast, which Omega X was able to maneuver from using a 'time warp' teleportation technique. Gallantmon jumps out of nowhere and slashes D-Reaper in half with a swipe from his lance. Unfortunately, the imp pieced herself back to together.
"Damn! She keeps on regenerating!"
Omega X comes out of nowhere and kicks D-Reaper in the head. D-Reaper's head goes snapping back and then goes nailing Omega X right in the gut, causing him to go flying back into a nearby wall. D-Reaper turns and twists around Gallantmon. The exalted knight struggles as D-Reaper starts ramming her fists into his face.
"NOW DIE, GALLANTMON! JUST DIE!"
With that said, D-Reaper flings Gallantmon through a rock wall. Omega X quickly recovers as he and D-Reaper continued their long, hard fought battle while everyone was watching intently.
That also included beings from other dimensions and the villains down in digital limbo.
Planet Tunip
Every one of the Digi-Destined and the Tamers were looking on with great anticipation over the turn out of the battle. Shintomon and the higher powers were crossing their fingers, in hopes of seeing Omega X come out on top of this battle.
Sora looks on intently as she clenched her fists tightly and started shaking to herself.
"C'mon, Tai. You can do it. You got the power to defeat D-Reaper. You should use it…"
"I can't take this anymore!" TK exclaimed. "Davis! It looks like they will need our help after all!"
"Yeah! You just read my mind!"
"Wait! Are you two crazy!" Shintomon cries out. "You two still haven't recovered from the last battle!"
"We don't care," TK responded. "Look, I understand you care for our well-beings, but those are our friends out there. Besides, Kari still hasn't recovered from that lat encounter with the D-Reaper. We're fresh. Let us go!"
"Please! Unless you want to see you're chosen ones get their asses handed to them!" Davis exclaimed.
"Let them go," X responded. "I can't argue with them. TK. Davis. I admire you're courage. I know War Dramon will definitely be needed. Go, and don't let Shintomon stop you."
"Thanks, X" TK said. "Patamon! It's fusion time!"
"Right!"
"Veemon! We're up to bat!"
"We're to kick some tail!"
With that said, TK and Davis' D-3s released a massive aura of light. Their bodies transformed into auras and were quickly merged with their digimon partners.
"FUSION EVOLVE!"
"War Dramon!"
The newly fused warrior looks over towards the orb and a grin forms on his face.
"Teleport us there, Shintomon! We're running out of time!"
"Um, yes…"
"Those are some brave young people," Mrs. Matsuki said.
"Just like our little boy."
"Hang on tight," the Supreme guardian stated. "You know what to do."
"Yeah."
As soon as the Supreme guardian said that, War Dramon places his hand on Shintomon and they were then transported out from the planet.
"Hopefully, they can help get the job done," Riley said.
"These beings are very resourceful. If they were able to put me in my place, then the D-Reaper will have a difficult time defeating them," the blonde-haired government agent said.
"Yamaki…"
"Call it a hunch, but I vision an ultimate struggle between good and evil. When I mean ultimate, I vision God vs. Lucifer. However, which side is really believes in justice and whose actions will finally be justified."
"What are you saying?" Shibumi asked.
Yamaki remained silent as his eyes viewed the battle continue to unfold. Were his premonitions accurate or was he simply giving false hope?
Shintomon's Sacred Sancutary
Shintomon and War Dramon found themselves on the sacred planet. The warrior looked across and popped his knuckles.
"You know what to do, War Dramon."
"We'll take it from here."
"Good luck."
As soon as Shintomon teleported back to Planet Tunip, War Dramon flies out across the landscape and picked up a large collection of ki on the other side.
"Good! They're still fighting! Look at these chaos and destruction. Heh, time to play a little soldier boy!"
The warrior boosts his ki, which allowed him to fly across the planet and towards the battlefield quicker than he could muster.
(Dragonball Z "Battle theme" plays)
D-Reaper goes flying up and then reappears right on top of a rock precipice and starts powering up with great tremendous force. She then holds out her hands and fires down a massive ki blast down at her enemies. Omega X and Gallantmon look on with shock as it started to engulf them and explode violently into the ground itself.
Metalla X shields himself from the flying debris that was picking up throughout the landscape. It's tremendous force easily caught Mummymon and Black Gatomon as they were both sent flying back. Jeri held onto Pikkan with dear life and Calumon struggled to keep himself safe under some rock crevices.
"These winds are getting strong! Calumon! I don't think I can hold on much longer!"
"Think happy thoughts!"
"Yeah, like that would really help!"
Pikkan remained unconscious despite what was going on. However, his wounds were close to being fully healed. Could he actually return back into action?
Mystic Celesta and Beelzebumon both held their own from the massive explosion.
"HA! I KILL THEM DEAD! HA! YES! NO MORE ANNOYING PESTS!"
D-Reaper smirks at the billowing cloud of dust starting to pick up within the air all around him. But just as she was about to ensure victory, she heard two loud calls from out of the smoke and it sounded quite like combination of Omega X and Gallantmon. In fact, it was them and there was a sudden energy increase coming from where they were laying. She then heard two attacks being called out.
"TER-RA…"
"LIGHTNING-"
"BE-AM!"
"JOUST!"
The double blasts were fired from out of the large smoke cloud, and the D-Reaper attempted to block it out. But the blast managed to pass through and vaporized her left arm. But with her regenerative powers, she was easily able to regenerate her left arm. Gallantmon leaps out from the crater to recover. This allowed Omega X to go on the offensive attack again, and he continued to battle D-Reaper throughout the skies. They both traded blow for blow. D-Reaper grabs her adversary by the leg and starts swinging him around and around, hurling him into some nearby rocks.
Omega X recovers and goes firing away several ki blasts over at D-Reaper, which the monster was struggling for a few moments before managing to send them straight back down at Omega X. There was a sudden massive explosion, which left a crater, but as soon as the dust clears, there was now Omega X in sight. D-Reaper quickly begins to realize that her adversary was dead but failed to realize that Omega X was right behind her. She turns around and gets slammed downward by Omega X. D-Reaper spreads her limbs out in order to catch herself within the fall. Omega X pursues her, kicking the D-Reaper into the ground and ki blasting her at a close range.
Omega X's gunpoint blank range was able to rip a gaping hole straight down through the ground itself. The D-Reaper was nowhere to be seen. Before Omega X was able to rest to catch his breath, a hand comes reaching out and snatches Omega X by the foot. D-Reaper goes pulling down Omega X into a nearby underground cavern, slamming him against several rock faces before releasing the warrior.
Omega X starts to sit up with a rather painful look on his face.
"D-Reaper, your power is pretty impressive. You've been able to keep up with my speed and power. I commend you. I never really had anybody gone into the distance with me."
"HA! HA! NOW I KILL YOU DEAD! DEAD! DEAD!"
"I could have easily wasted this bitch when Matt and I were fused as Kaiser X! But there's no use in changing back time already. What's done is done."
"Tai! Are you all right!" Gallantmon calls out from above.
"Looking better…"
"SHUT UP! YOU TALK TOO MUCH! I HATE YOU FOR THAT!"
The two fighters charged at each other once again and began to battle against one another. Omega X delivers a kick that's ends the D-Reaper flying through a nearby rock wall. Omega X suddenly drops down to his hands and knees, tired and exhausted from the excessive power while in his third level form. As soon as the dust started to clear, it revealed the D-Reaper completely unscathed and giggling cheerfully.
D-Reaper quickly started attacking once again, but Omega X was able to blast her with an energy shot. They flew up through the caverns and were back onto the surface. The D-Reaper manages to reform her body while in the air.
"Damn! I can't keep using the same attacks over and over again. I'm willing to bet that the D-Reaper will suspect it and will use that as an advantage in this battle. I better take it easy before the tide turns. Plus it's rather pointless to use the same attacks, since D-Reaper is able to regenerate herself."
"Tai!"
Omega X quickly turns around to the source of the voice. He saw Gallantmon flying by and landing right next to him.
"So, Takato. You want a crack shot at the D-Reaper, again? Well I can't always be hogging up the fight, that's for sure."
"I know we don't stand a chance, but let us have a shot at her. I'll admit that D-Reaper is much stronger than me, but not stronger than you, Tai. I believe that the fully powered third level fusion warrior can surely defeat this monster," the bio-merged knight said.
"Sure. I really needed a minute to catch my breath and conserve my strength," said Omega X, "Go ahead. Impress me, Takato."
"All right, D-Reaper! I know you don't understand the words that are coming out of my mouth, but I'll let my actions speak for my words!" Gallantmon asked. "Let's waste her, Takato!"
D-Reaper smirks and gets into a fighting pose. Gallantmon forms his shield and joust in both hands and faced off against the evil D-Reaper.
"I'll fight you for one minute, to allow Omega X to regain his power. So what do you say?"
"ME? I HATE YOU TOO! YOU DIE JUST LIKE LOUD MOUTH OVER THERE!"
"Just give a try."
Gallantmon goes facing the D-Reaper, as Metalla X slowly sits up from the ground. He goes calling out to the bio-merged knight.
"Takato! Don't do it! You don't know what you're up against. You're only going to face certain death as we speak," Metalla X protested.
"I'm sorry, Matt. But this is the only way," replied Gallantmon. "You don't have to worry about me. Just watch over Tai and make sure he regains his power in full tact."
Metalla X looks grateful and walks right over towards the fallen Omega X. He turns his attention onto the battle.
"Give it your best, Takato," replied Metalla X.
"Thanks. I'm definitely going to need luck on my side."
"Now don't go dying on me," Beelzebumon cries out, "I don't want to have to give you a proper burial because I'm not that kind of guy…"
"That was a cold thing to say," Mystic Celesta replied.
"Hey, I'm just looking at a realistic point of view, babe."
"And would you stop calling me babe!"
"Sure, whatever Beelzebumon," Gallantmon remarked, under Guilmon's voice. "Ready Takato?"
"Battle Theme" fades
(Drowning Pool "Tear Away" plays)
Gallantmon quickly powers up with a bright, red aura surrounding his body. He goes charging forwards at the D-Reaper with his lance outwards as if ready to stab his way through the monster. Gallantmon starts striking at D-Reaper with his lance, but the monster managed to maneuver away from each deadly swipe. Gallantmon fires several ki blasts from his shield. But D-Reaper easily saw them coming and flies around.
Gallantmon goes appearing out of nowhere, catching D-Reaper completely off guard. The bio-merged knight held up a sphere from the tip of his lance and shoots it right down at the monster.
"Lightning Joust!"
The blast goes and blasts D-Reaper's lower half, then he follows it up with quick swipes followed by several shield blasts that immediately cause an explosion around the D-Reaper.
Mummymon cries out and cowers into the ground and shield Black Gatomon, who struggled under his tight grip.
"Ah! Let me go! Let me go! Ack! Can't breathe!"
"Please help us! I want my mommy!"
A gust of wind comes blowing by and pushes both Mummymon and Black Gatomon back further away from the battle that was ensuing. Jeri held onto Pikkan with a tight grip.
Gallantmon continues to fire rapid ki blasts from his shield down onto the ground, as they quickly disappear into a large, billowing cloud of black smoke. Omega X and Metalla X looked on with impressive looks on their faces. Gallantmon continues blasting away at the smoke, but little did he realize that small particles were all forming from behind him. D-Reaper's body reforms and Gallantmon was unable to react quickly enough to avoid being slammed down onto the ground. D-Reaper goes landing right next to the fallen knight and kicks him, sending him sailing across the ground. D-Reaper follows in pursuit and kicks him yet again, causing Takato from within to cough out a little blood. Then she slams him in the head. Gallantmon goes collapsing into several rock beds, where D-Reaper kicks him yet again.
Flying far off from the battlefield, War Dramon picked up D-Reaper's ki. An arrogant grin formed across his face.
"Time for a little gameplay!"
Planet Tunip
Rika was looking on through the orb with a rather nervous look on her face, which was unlike Rika. The others were starting to believe that she really does care for the goggle boy.
"Rika? You need to control yourself," Renamon said.
"How can I? Takato is out there betting pummeled! He's going to die if this keeps up!"
"Not exactly," replied Gosenzomon, "That Gallantmon is said to be quite resourceful. We'll just have to wait and see if that's true or not."
The red-haired girl turned her attention back on the crystal ball and clenched her fists tightly.
"C'mon! You promised you wouldn't lose, goggle head! You got to keep your promise."
Shintomon's Sacred Sancturary
Gallantmon was lying motionless on the rocky ground below. He struggles to lift himself up.
"C'mon Guilmon. We have to at least survive for another minute…"
D-Reaper waits for her adversary and giggles to herself. Gallantmon gets up onto his feet and walks over to face D-Reaper. She started taunting him and waved her hand over as if telling him to bring it. Gallantmon charged and powers up. He goes and lands several good blows on the D-Reaper, before the monster kicks him and slams the bio-merged mega down onto the ground.
Everyone, including Rika, was watching in distress. Rika couldn't contain herself and was growling angrily under her breath.
D-Reaper descends to the ground and grins over towards a fallen Gallantmon. The knight was lying on the ground with almost a lifeless glare in his eyes. He slowly turns his attention over to Omega X, who was looking on with anger. He starts moving towards the fused warrior. Gallantmon starts calling out to him and Metalla X.
"Tai… Matt…"
Omega X merely looked back at the bio-merged knight and nodded. Gallantmon turns his attention back on D-Reaper with his breathing becoming labored and barely able to stand.
"I'm not finished with you yet, D-Reaper… You're a coward for running away from me like that! A damn coward!"
These remarks eventually infuriated the D-Reaper as she screams and charges out at Gallantmon. Gallantmon gets into a battle position and goes to blast her away.
"Shield of the Just!"
As soon as he shoots out a large blast from the shield, it goes shooting out at the D-Reaper, who opens a hole in her stomach and the blast goes passing harmlessly through.
"Now you die… JUST DIE ALREADY! DIE!"
Omega X looks on, who was unable to help, and starts to move about. Metalla X holds his comrade back.
"C'mon, Takato! You have got to hold her off just a little while longer. Don't give up!"
Gallantmon suffered a savage punch to his stomach from the D-Reaper and then goes collapsing to his knees. D-reaper catches him by his cape and then sends out a ki blast right at his face. Gallantmon is then sent flying back into the rubble of the bottom of the crater. His aura quickly fades away and looks like he won't be getting up anytime soon. D-Reaper laughs maniacally over her victory against Gallantmon. But just then, a feeble voice interrupts her little tirade. Amazingly, they looked on as the bio-merged knight comes crawling up out of the deep crater. Holding his arm and his face twisted with pain, Gallantmon starts to speak up.
"That weak attack of yours wasn't efficient enough to defeat me," Gallantmon replied, "It's going to take a lot more than that to put us down, D-Reaper."
Gallantmon quickly powers up with a bright red aura surrounding his body. D-Reaper turns to face him with an astonished look on her face.
"Pineapple head, you better have a really good reason for not staying down the way you should done," Beelzebumon said under his breath.
"Takato! Don't do this! You can't throw your own life away just for the sake of us!" Mystic Celesta calls out.
"I don't think he's listening," Beelzebumon replied.
Planet Tunip
The other Tamers and the Digi-Destined were looking on as well, with awe looks on their faces. Rika was kneeling before the crystal ball with her eyes closed as if focusing on the battle taking place.
"Goggle head. Don't give up. You've got her where you want her. This battle should not be lost. Give it your all," Rika said.
"Rika! Just what the heck are you doing? That's not going to help Takato any," Kazu remarked.
"He's right! Gallantmon is not going to get any help from your words alone," Ryo said, "Your going to have to let your actions speak-"
"Zip it you two! I can do what I want and this is the time for us to dream."
"Dream? Has she gone cuckoo-cuckoo?" asked Kenta.
"Maybe she's been smoking thst 'shit' you guys keep telling me about," Guardromon said.
"Rika, whatever are you trying to say? Dreaming? What can he dream about?" asked Henry.
"I know very well what she's saying," Shintomon replied, "The dream to release the power of Grani and allow the mergence of both Grani and Gallantmon to take place. It's the only way to go. Everyone. You must think deep and use your dreams to bring forth the power Grani needs to merge with Gallantmon."
"So, what are we all sitting around for? Lets give Grani the power it needs to merge with Gallantmon! Only our hopes and dreams will we make it come into realization!" Yolei said.
"Well, I'm not about to stop you anytime soon," Mimi said, "Lets get dreaming!"
"This one's for Takato," Sonja replied, "You can do it, kid."
"Ok. I'll take that as a compliment but hey, let's get dreaming!"
Each of the Digi-Destined and the Tamers started to close their eyes as if concentrating through a form of meditation. The higher powers even shut their eyes. A flow of energy was starting to flow from each of their bodies while being transmitted through Grani. The machine starts glow a crimson color with its eyes flashing a blue color.
Every one of the Tamers were each realizing their hopes and dreams. One by one. Henry. Kazu. Kenta. Ryo. Rika. That also included their digimon as well. Terriermon. Leomon. Guardromon. Marine Angemon. Cyberdramon. Renamon. A flow of energy started to come out in the form of spirits and started to spiral around Grani.
Then each of the Digi-Destined managed to tap into their dreams. One by one. Sora. Mimi. Joe. Izzy. Yolei. Ken. Cody. Even their digimon were realizing their dreams through the sudden meditation. Biyomon. Palmon. Gomamon. Tentomon. Hawkmon. Wormmon. Armadillomon. Sonja also managed to release her hopes and dreams.
"What I really wish for is the power for Grani to help Takato and Guilmon in the battle. Give them the strength and the power that they need to defeat the chaos of destruction known as the D-Reaper. May our hopes and dreams come into realization and guide Grani into battle. Allow Grani and Gallantmon to merge. Hear my plead and grant them this power," Rika thought through her meditation.
As soon as that was said and done, Shintomon turns his attention over towards Grani, which was starting to levitate from the ground. He shoots out a beam and teleports it to Planet Shin.
"Digi-Destined. Tamers. It now begins. Behold, the rise of the crimson warrior…"
Shintomon's Sacred Sancturary
Gallantmon was slowly rising to his feet and was about to attack the D-Reaper head on again. Omega X had just realized something.
"Oh no! A minute has already passed by! My energy hasn't been fully restored! Oh no, Takato! Hold on! Just give up!"
"Takato… Look out!" Metalla X exclaimed.
Gallantmon quickly saw the D-Reaper coming as they quickly locked hands. They were now beginning to strain against one another, their feet breaking down into the rocks below. D-Reaper kicks Gallantmon, sending him flying away, then stretches one long arm out and thins it. It then goes wrapping around Gallantmon's neck choking him out. The bio-merged knight goes hanging in the air and was unable to free himself.
"Spinning Galatic Donut!"
Suddenly, an energy disc slices through D-Reaper's arm and ultimately frees Gallantmon from the monster's grasp. Everyone looked on ahead as War Dramon stood before them with his arms crossed.
"Heh. Missed me, guys? Finally, the War Dramon has come back to kick some ass!"
"Oh great, now he's talking in third person again," Mystic Celesta muttered. "This is definitely Davis' trait, because I know TK isn't arrogant."
"Well, I'm just glad he came here in time," Omega X stated. "War Dramon. You'll have to hold off the D-Reaper!"
"Not without me you're not!" Mystic Celesta calls out.
The angelic warrior arrives on the battlefield and stands next to War Dramon.
"Glad you could help, Kari. It's going to take our combined to bring Miss Raggedy Ugly down," War Dramon chuckled.
"If only I was at one hundred percent power, I would have taken this D-Reaper out."
"Hey, as long as you have me on you're side, you won't have to use all of you're power."
"I hope you're right."
"Tai! Matt! Make sure to keep Gallantmon out of this and make sure that he regains his strength," War Dramon said. "No more bullshit. We're taking this seriously."
"All right, then It's payback time, D-Reaper! I do recall us about to take kick your butt," Mystic Celesta said.
"Yep, you aren't going to absorb us like last time," War Dramon. "That was one cheap trick!"
"YES YOU TWO ANNOYANCES! YOU WERE INSIDE OF ME! I HAVE NO USE FOR YOU! YOU DIE HERE! DIE! HA! HA!"
"Let's make this a nasty and brutal fight," War Dramon said, mimicking Mills Lane. "Let's get it on!"
D-Reaper charges forth and stretches out her arms. Mystic Celesta and War Dramon easily dodged her attacks. Mystic Celesta flies up and incinerates D-Reaper's arm off with a ki blast. War Drmaon follows it up by spitting out five ghosts.
"Super Ghost Kamikaze Attack!"
D-Reaper screamed as each of the ghosts slammed into the entity. A massive explosion takes place as D-Reaper falls to the floor with a battered and injured body.
"Kari! Go for it! She shouldn't be able to recover too soon!"
"I'm on it!"
Mystic Celesta dives down towards the fallen monster and cups her hands together. D-Reaper rises up and is met with a massive energy beam.
"Holy Beam!"
D-Reaper's body was quickly broken down into particles as the blast incinerates her. War Dramon gives a high-five to Mystic Celesta.
"Way to nail it to the bitch!"
"Hold on. Don't get too excited yet. I can still sense an evil ki in the air."
Just then, Jeri came out of hiding and looks over towards the warriors. She calls and waves out towards them.
"Way to go, guys! You're really giving to her!"
"JERI!" they called out.
This quickly brought Gallantmon to his senses. He looks up and notices Jeri in the background. His eyes widen in disbelief. He had hoped Jeri had gone with the others by now.
"Jeri… What is she doing here? She should be with the others…" Gallantmon muttered.
"I have no idea, but she should get the hell out of here! It's not safe here!" Omega X cries out.
"You have to get out of here! Leomon is going to flip if you sees you here!" Mystic Celesta calls out. "You have to as far away from here as possible!"
"It's okay. I've had Mummymon and Black Gatomon watching over me. Right guys?"
The two digimon were responded with a few groans as their bodies had fallen to the ground.
"It doesn't matter. This is uncharted territory!" War Dramon exclaimed.
"I'm in wh-"
Just as Jeri was about to speak, D-Reaper came blasting through the ground below and hands out her palm in front of Jeri. The girl stood frozen in fear. Gallantmon and everyone else looked on in complete shock. They couldn't even move.
A sadistic grin forms on D-Reaper's face as she prepared to fire a deadly blast to take the girl's life.
"DIE YOU LITTLE BITCH!"
As soon as she was about to finish Jeri off, a massive blast came out of nowhere and pushed the D-Reaper backwards onto the battlefield. Then, a blur appears above the monster and levels her with a right hand. The blur turned out to be none other than Pikkan.
"It's Pikkan!" Jeri calls out. "My god… Thank you!"
"Are you okay, Jeri?"
"Yes, thanks to you."
"I may not have a love for humans, but you have my gratitude. You tended to me when I was wounded. Why did you do it?"
"Because, I really didn't think you were going to make it. I'm just glad you did."
"I thank you. For now, just stay low and protect Calumon. He's essential for digivolution."
"Right! I'm on it!"
Pikkan turns his attention over towards the D-Reaper. The sadistic grin from the D-Reaper had gone away and was replaced by an enraged look.
"DAMN YOU! I HATE YOU FOR THAT! YOU RUINED MY FUN! NOW YOU WILL DIE ALONG WITH THAT LITTLE BITCH!"
"You'd best watch what you say about that little 'bitch'. She tended to my wounds and watched me. She has a true heart of courage, despite being so meek. You pick on the meek and I won't stand for it."
Pikkan levitates to the floor and stood by with Mystic Celesta and War Dramon. D-Reaper faces off against them.
"Heh, so what do you say? How about a rumble to warm us up?" the alterian asked.
"You just read my mind. This one's for scaring Jeri," War Dramon cries out.
"You make me sick. Only cowards pick on the weak!" Mystic Celesta said. "Our light will overcome you're darkenss!"
"Let's waste this bitch," Pikkan said.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT! YOU DIE FOR THAT COMMENT YOU HEAR ME! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!"
"Do us a favor and shut you're damn mouth!" the trio exclaimed in unison.
With that said, they all phased out and caught the D-Reaper by surprise. The entity looks around and watches as fists started hammering away at her. Pikkan delivered fists; War Dramon delivered kicks; and Mystic Celesta was giving a good combination of devastating blows. The trio spread apart into a triangular formation with D-Reaper standing in the middle.
The three warriors prepared to fire away their signature attacks to the D-Reaper.
"SHIT!"
"Oh, this one is going to hurt," Beelzebumon muttered.
"THUNDER FLASH ATTACK!"
"SUPER GHOST KAMIKAZE ATTACK!"
"SEVEN HEAVEN'S BEAM!"
The combined blasts made contact with the D-Reaper and created a massive explosion that covered nearly half of the landscape. Suddenly, D-Reaper was seen flying through the smoke in time. Unfortunately, Mystic Celesta and War Dramon met her with a double clothesline from out of nowhere.
"This one's for Jeri!"
D-Reaper is then met with a spinning back kick from Pikkan that nearly decapitated the D-Reaper. The monster drops to the ground and lies down with numerous bumps and bruises.
Pikkan levitates down to meet up with Mystic Celesta and War Dramon. They had done their duty well and have gotten their retribution.
"Just remember this, D-Reaper. Paybacks are a bitch," Pikkan muttered.
"Wow! That was so sweet! They were able to do her in!" Omega X calls out.
"I never thought our own siblings would end up outdoing us in the end," Metalla X stated.
"You've got to hand it to Kari. She grinded that freak like paste!"
"Shit! She's getting up and it doesn't even look like she's giving out just yet!" Metalla X calls out.
"Damn! What the hell is this thing made of!"
D-Reaper slowly rises to her feet with all of her wounds healed. It seemed that the warrior's retribution never became realized.
"Damn. She recovered so quickly!" Pikkan said.
"So, what now?" War Dramon asked.
"Duh! We keep fighting!" Mystic Celesta calls out.
Pikkan felt a sharp pain from his chest as he doubled over. The alterian tried fighting off the pain as much as he could.
"Pikkan! Are you all right?" Omega X calls out.
"Yes. It's just a minor injury. I've recovered."
Suddenly, a bright red aura came flying through the skylines above. Everyone looked up and left a strong ki emitting from what looked like a glider.
"What is that?" War Dramon asked. "Wait! Could that be Grani!"
"It is Grani!" Mystic Celesta replied.
"Ok, you guys have lost me," Pikkan said.
Omega X and Metalla X both looked on with confused looks on their faces as a bright light coming shooting out of nowhere. Beelzebumon looks up and notices a familiar figure emerging from the shroud of light. His eyes widened.
"Grani?"
"Grani? But why is it coming here" Metalla X cried out.
"Remember, it belongs to Gallantmon. It must have reacted to Takato's pain and anguish," said Omega X, "Takato! I feel a ki from Grani! I think it wants you to use it!"
"Grani! I feel your power!" exclaimed Gallantmon, "Come before me!"
Gallantmon's body started to emit a bright, red aura that managed to blind swipe D-Reaper out of the way. Gallantmon holds out a hand above his head and realizes the power that Grani was giving to him.
"Grani. I feel the hopes and dreams of my friends. This will be enough for us to merge. D-Reaper, your wave of destruction is about to come to an end. We intend on ending it by our hand only!"
"What are they planning to do?" Metalla X asked.
"They're going to merge! Finally something that will slow down the D-Reaper and allow me time to recover," Omega X under his breath.
"Go for it, pineapple head. Wait a second! I can't believe I'm saying that. Ugh, what the hell! This is the fate of the digital universe we're talking about here! Lets see this mergence of you and Grani. D-Reaper is about to get a handful of Gallantmon coming her way…"
"Well, you don't see this everyday," War Dramon said.
"You can do it, Takato!" Mystic Celesta calls out. "You and Grani have to merge! Hurry!
Suddenly, Grani started to spoke in a rather anonymous, deep voice, which caught even Gallantmon by surprise.
"Do you want to fly, Gallantmon?"
"Grani, is that you?"
"Yes. Do you want to fly, Gallantmon?"
"Anything to beat the D-Reaper. I will do anything to harness that power. Our dream is fly and standing triumphant over our enemies."
"Then I shall grant you that wish and your dreams a reality."
"Your willing to do that for me?"
"Yes, Gallantmon. You are my friend and this is my gift to you. Use it, my body is starting to break down…"
"You are a digimon after all," Gallantmon said, under Takato's voice. "GRANI!"
With that said, Grani was slowly starting to breakdown into data streams but Gallantmon cries out. He was now beginning to summon the power from within Grani.
"Apart of you will always be will with us, Grani!"
(Digimon Tamers second evolution theme "One Vision" plays)
Then a sudden flash of light started to flare, which blinded the D-Reaper. Omega X and Metalla X both looked on with awe as Gallantmon and Grani were starting to merge. Grani exploded into a stream of data, but the bio-merged knight was able to absorb it as his body was starting to transform. Red armor plates started to form across his body. First his legs, then his arms, then his chest and finally his face helmet. The cape flowing on his back was gone and replaced by a pair of ten wings on his back. His armor plates were yellow around the sides with red in the center and a blue emerald in the center. His entire body happened to have those colors. His face helmet retained some facial features from Gallantmon, but there were a pair of red wings at each side of his face. In his hand was a saber sword that glittered with bright energy.
"We are one! Grani and us! Call us, Gallantmon Crimson Mode!" Takato cried out within Gallantmon.
"Crimson Mode!" Beelzebumon exclaimed in astonishment.
"Crimson Mode! Man those two really have it in them!" Metalla X remarked.
"Wow, their ki is so strong!" War Dramon said.
"Takato… You're power… It's as if you've already grown up before my very eyes," Mystic Celesta said to her pupil. "I'm proud of you."
"Their energy level has increased after Grani merged with them. Crimson Mode should be enough to handle the D-Reaper for a little while longer while I regain my power," Omega X said, "Keep her busy, Takato. Show us this power of Crimson Mode!"
D-Reaper started to back away in shock, but then she cried out and went flying right over at Gallantmon.
"YOU! YOU HAVE A NEW LOOK… and you look so shiny. I HATE SHINY PEOPLE! YOU DIE! DIE! DO YOU HEAR ME, GALLANTMON!"
Gallantmon goes flying towards the D-Reaper with a rather possessed and determined look on his face.
"Bring it on!"
("One Vision" ends)
Sugoi! Talk about a mode change! Gallantmon and Grani have now merged to become Crimson Mode! But will it be enough to hold back D-Reaper a little while longer and allow Omega X the time that he needs to recover? Will Mystic Celesta, War Dramon and Pikkan survive in the battle any longer?

Omega X: Hell no! We tried that twice already. Once against Metal Garurumon and the other with Burizalor. What makes you think it's finally going to be effective!
Metalla X: It will. Mimi. I want you and the supreme guardians to go to Azulongmon to use the digicores. It's time to restore the planet we call home. We will use every living being's energy and use it to form the Life Bomb.
Omega X: Oh and you want me to use it?
Metalla X: No, you'll form it, but I want Takato to use it.
Omega X: But he'll be worn out from the fight with D-Reaper!
Metalla X: Trust me. I know what I'm doing. I pray to that this plan works. It has to work! Only the Life Bomb itself can destroy pure evil and that's what the D-Reaper represents: the embodiment of evil!
Gosenzomon: Yay! I call the shot! Next time on Digimon Tamers Fusion!
Metalla X's Secret Strategy to Defeat the D-Reaper! The Last Hope: The Cosmic Force of Life!
Beelzebumon: Don't you miss it!
SSJ4T: Oooh, I'm so worn out. I've had then beers as it is…
Max: Wake me up when this is over…
Coral: I think I'm going to have a hangover… Ugh…
Stone Cold: Bah, wussies…
The Texas Rattlesnake crashes over with twelve cans falling to the floor.
SSJ4T: Until next time… Ugh… We're… out…
