Kanius: Hi, everyone! It's that time again for the next installment to the Bebimon Saga. I know the updates have been sort of slow, but I've been working my ass off on Pharaohmon. Not to mention the fact that I actually DO stuff in my life other than writing! I didn't mean to insult anyone by saying this, but I had to explain my whereabouts. Any who, this chapter will be action-packed and what guarantees to be a smack down between SaberVeemon and Bebimon! Ok, that's enough out of me! Enjoy the fic! ()

SaberVeemon Goes All Out on Bebimon! Taichi's Evolution Failure!
The newly digivolved form of MegaVeemon levitates around Bebi-Metalla X. The Tufflesurian was astonished, but he remained rather calm by his transformation. The warrior pulls out his light saber and lashes out on Bebi-Metalla X. The mutant immediately responds by flipping backwards. As soon as he landed, he stopped to find a cut across his right cheek. It trickled with a drop of blood.
"So, what do you call yourself now? Shinymon?"
"No, but you can just call me SaberVeemon. I am the combined form of MegaVeemon and Dorothy with Avengemon's data. I'm your worst nightmare come to life."
"Yes. I can sense that your power has dramatically increased. You're stronger than what MegaVeemon and Avengemon were capable of individually. However, you still fail in comparison with my infinite strength. I own this Planet and I'm not going to lose on my home grounds!"
"Unfortunately, there is still enough room for an upset, Bebimon. This ends here, pal!"
"Then why don't you back up that big mouth of yours and show this great power of yours! Bring it on, SaberVeemon! Prove me wrong!"
"Of course."
(Play Final Fantasy X battle theme)
As soon as their verbal spat ended, the two powers flew at each other and went for another tremendous collision course. SaberVeemon whips out his light saber and starts lashing out at the Tufflesurian. Bebi-Metalla X managed to put up some defense while throwing out numerous punches. SaberVeemon puts his light saber through a sheath and throws out his own fury of fists. The Tufflesurian counters with his arms crossed, while, at the same time, blocked out those punches. SaberVeemon saw an opening through his enemy and drills his right elbow into Bebi-Metalla X's gut.
The enemy lets out a gasped cry after the impact blow from SaberVeemon's elbow. Bebi-Metalla X attempted to phase away, but SaberVeemon snatches him around his adversary's head. He proceeded to swing Bebimon around by his hair around as if he were a yarn of thread. With one loud cry, SaberVeemon sends Bebimon hurling into the heavens.
"Incredible! Davis and Veemon are actually putting up an effort!" Pikkan exclaimed.
"They're too fast for me to even follow," Gallantmon said.
"Wow! Look at them go!" Beetlemon said. "Whoo!"
"Looks like he won't need our help," Kumamon replied. "What do you think, Kazemon?"
"I agree. Until then, we'll provide him as backup. You'll never know when that creep will do something sneaky."
"Takuya and Kouji had better hurry. They're missing out on this," Lowemon said.
"Davis. You've come a long way," Celesta X stated. "I'd never thought you'd be at my or TK's level. I'd say that it was about time."
"Yeah! That's the way, Davis!" Keke cheered. "Stay on him!"
"Wow. I never knew Avengemon and MegaVeemon would have fused together," Max thought. "They just might pull it off, you guys! Don't let your guard down, Davis! It's all yours!"
Elsewhere, Leomon had managed to pick up on SaberVeemon's ki and looks out to the heavens. His eyes widened in disbelief at the power from Davis' brand new fusion evolution. Jeri wondered what had caught Leomon's attention.
"Leomon?"
The seasoned veteran did not return a reply and remained focus on the battle at hand.
Thus far, SaberVeemon was matching speed with Bebi-Metalla X. He phases above Bebimon and lashed out his light saber. The mutant lets out a horrifying cry once the saber made contact with his chest. Bebi-Metalla X staggered back and noticed a large wound across his chest.
"Damn you! You managed to cut me across my godly chest! You'll regret that!"
"Some godly chest you have there, pal. You were just crying like a little punk. What's wrong? Don't like it when someone takes advantage of you? You hate to lose. Get over it. With Avengemon apart of me, we're going to hand you your ass."
The Tufflesurian cries out and wipes the blood from his wounded chest. Suddenly, a dark aura forms around his body. He flies out at SaverVeemon and lets loose numerous ki shots. SaberVeemon saw the blasts coming forth and deflects them with his palms. Bebi-Metalla X phases away from each direct shot.
SaberVeemon reappears above an unsuspected Bebimon and executes a spinning dropkick to his face. The Tufflesurian is sent plummeting through a nearby rock ledge.
(End theme)
"Now that's what I call an ass whooping!" Gallantmon cries out.
"Don't just stand there, Davis! He's down where you want him!" exclaimed Pikkan.
"He's going nuts! Hey, Pikkan. How long do you think Davis is going to last?" Lowemon asked.
"Well, there's one assumption to consider. Bebimon is not at his full power. He's toying with Davis at this point. Don't believe me? Look. He's not even close to losing stamina."
"Yeah I see it."
"That's why I warned Davis to finish it quickly," the Alterian replied.
"I really hope SaberVeemon is aware of this," said Beetlemon.
"If that's the case, then we really need my father. Other than my Aunt Kari and SaberVeemon, there's no one else who can give Bebimon a challenge," Max thought.
"Max. Is there something wrong?" Celesta X wondered.
"Yeah. You've been pretty much bummed out," Keke said.
"Oh, it's nothing," Max said. "Yeah, what a way to keep secrets, Max. Where is my father? I don't believe that he's dead. It's simply too unbearable to believe."
The groups continued to be witnesses to the ongoing battle. SaberVeemon looks down upon Bebi-Metalla X. The Tufflesurian rose to his feet with a smirk on his chagrin. This certainly was not turning out to be in SaberVeemon's favor. He would need more than just his light saber and superior speed to put down Bebimon at this point. The body of Metalla X has given Bebimon an edge in stamina and power.
Shintomon's Sacred Sanctuary
Gosenzomon, Shintomon, and Buddamon gathered around the viewing orb to witness the showdown from Planet Plant. Tai and Agumon walked over to look through the orb. They had satisfied looks on their faces. BW wondered what had them excited.
"Hey, care to explain what's making you all happy and relieved?" BW asked.
"Yeah, you ought to see this! Agumon told me that Davis' fusion form merged together with Avengemon and Dorothy!"
"Say what? A fusion warrior merging with others?"
"Come and check it out!" Tai said with glee.
BW sits up and wiped his sleepy eyes. He observes the orb and was astonished by SaberVeemon's overwhelming presence.
"Whoa. That punk really has it in him."
"You said it! By the way, he's merged with Dorothy and Avengemon. Those two were formerly the D-Reaper," Tai informed them.
"Yeah and Bebimon hasn't even laid a hand on her!" Agumon replied.
"I agree. SaberVeemon is incredible!" Shintomon praised the newly evolved warrior.
Buddamon looked over to Gosenzomon and noticed the elder not displaying any enthusiasm. Gosenzomon was fully focused on the battle at hand.
"Gosenzomon, sir. You don't seem to be pleased. Is there something wrong?" Buddamon asked.
The elder merely nodded his head and pointed over towards the viewing orb with disdain.
"You see? Take a look closely."
The group took another glance through the orb and noticed a smirk on Bebi-Metalla X's chagrin. They had realized that the villain was not taking SaberVeemon seriously.
"That bastard! He's toying with her!" Tai cursed. "You guys! We have to get back there and take action!"
"Otherwise, Bebimon is going to end up killing our friends, including Max!" Agumon pleaded.
"Yes. It's a wise decision," replied Gosenzomon. "You shouldn't have wasted your time here."
"You'd better hurry, Taichi. Don't forget to put the gift to good use. I'm sure Lady Moinanea gave it to you for a good reason," Shintomon stated.
"Let's hope that this new source works to your benefit," said Buddamon.
"Hold on, Taichi!" BW calls out.
BW came walking up to Tai and Agumon. Before he did anything, Tai smirked and puts out his right hand. The former Black War Greymon returned a smile and shakes Tai's hand.
"Thank you for providing me a good fight, Agumon," BW said. "Taichi. This doesn't mean that everything has been settled. We'll meet again."
"Heh, you can count on it," Tai said. "Ready to go, Agumon?"
"You bet I am!"
With that said, Tai reaches out for his digivice and calls forth for his fusion evolution power. Tai and Agumon were then merged together with a bright light engulfing them. Now a figure warrior stood in their place. Omega X powers down and takes the gift bestowed to him by Lady Moinanea.
"Thanks again, Shintomon. Buddamon. Gosenzomon. You were all a big help. BW, you keep up with training and I guarantee you a fight you'll never forget. Bebimon! It's payback time for you!'
Omega X puts two fingers on his forehead to perform his Time Force teleportation technique to vanish from the holy region. He proceeded to teleport to the Tufflesurian planet.
"Good luck, my friend," Buddamon said.
"Elder. I just hope that Lady Moinanea's gift will work to Taichi's advantage," Shintomon said. "For our sakes…"
"All we can do for now is hope, young one. Otherwise, Bebimon will ruthlessly destroy his allies," Gosenzomon said. "However, I trust in Taichi's judgment. He's certainly not too bright, but his heart allows him to triumph over many odds."
BW nods in agreement and immediately finds the masked man, X. The two faced each other until BW smiles.
"It's time. Now, we'll see if Tai is capable of handling the sacred beast of courage."
"Yes. Now, it's up to you to control the spirit, Tai," X said. "I'm proud to have you possess the sacred spirit. Make us all proud."
Planet Plant
Bebi-Metalla X flies back up into the heavens to face off with SaberVeemon once again. The group was astonished by the Tufflesurian's quick recovery.
SaberVeemon stood his ground and was prepared to lash out against Bebi-Metalla X once again. However, the Tufflesurian saw his attack and immediately phases out. The last thing SaberVeemon realized was that his stomach was in pain. This was the result of a sucker punch from Bebi-Metalla X. He cried out and was momentarily distracted by the pain. This allowed Bebi-Metalla X to take advantage. The Tufflesurian took advantage of his downed adversary and executes an elbow smash across SaberVeemon's back. SaberVeemon was sent plummeting down towards the crater where Bebimon once laid.
"No! I thought he had it under control!" Keke exclaimed.
"No kidding! How was he able to make a sudden comeback!" Max wondered. "Aunt Kari? What's up?"
"He was toying with Davis. I should have known that Bebimon would pull a dirty trick with Davis," Celesta X replied.
"Are you sure?" Max asked.
"Yeah. SaberVeemon only had a slight advantage because Bebimon was testing out his new power."
"You hear that, Takato?" Pikkan asked.
"You bet. That cheating scum!"
"c'mon, dad! If only you were here with us now," Max said in prayer. "We need you back."
Elsewhere on the planet
Omega X had finally arrived at the planet's middle coordinates. He felt the presence of Bebimon's growing ki and follows it. He boosted his speed, which allowed him to cover more ground. In turn, it would enable him to find his friends quickly.
"I can sense a strong ki coming from a far distance. That has to be Bebimon! It looks like the others aren't having any luck. Max, just hang in there, son. Once I arrive there, I'll show that asshole never to turn your back on a Kamiya. After all, I did increase my strength with Gosenzomon's training. I really do hope that it pays off."
Just then, Omega X felt a decreasing power along the way. He finally figured out that SaberVeemon was losing ground to Bebi-Metalla X almost instantly.
"No! Davis, Veemon and Dorothy aren't going to last much longer at this point! SaberVeemon definitely gave it his all, but it wasn't enough. He's not so used to controlling his power and is being blinded by his own arrogance. He shouldn't be flaunting it. But, how is this Bebimon able to gain power within a short amount of time? He did possess Matt's body and that benefits to his advantage. On the other hand, I do have a few other tricks up my sleeve. Like this sacred spirit that Lady Moinanea bestowed to me."
Forward to Flashback
"So this is one of those spirits?" asked Tai.
"Yes, but as you can see it has the symbol of courage on it. It was created for the warrior of courage to use. So says Lady Moinanea."
Tai takes a good examination of the artifact and smiles.
"So, I was supposed to have found this when I met Takuya and his friends? Well that just bites. What is it supposed to do?"
"Legends say that the warrior of courage will be given the power to ascend to the highest level of digital fusion. Something to which has never been seen. So, looks like you'll be the first to uncover this legend. If the prophecy is true, then you, as Omega X, should be able to reach a new digital level."
This only brought a smile across Tai's face as he held the item. It looked like a dragon-like beast with fiery wings and a metal-plated head. The symbol of courage was burning over its chest.
"Tai? So what do you think? Would you expect it? You should thank Lady Moinanea. She's honored to have met you, Taichi," Shintomon said.
"I'll take it."
End of flashback
"Don't worry, Shintomon. Lady Moinanea. I won't let this new power go to waste. I'll do whatever it takes to defeat this bastard and save my friends from danger. There's no time to waste! Here I come!"
The hero flew across the landscapes like a man on a mission. His desire to save his comrades has driven him to become an even stronger and more focused warrior. However, Bebi-Metalla X was not going to be an easy opponent to overcome. This was Omega X's last chance to extract some vengeance. In the end, it was all or nothing for Taichi.
Back to the battlegrounds of Planet Plant
Back at the battle site, SaberVeemon was already on the receiving end of an ass whooping delivered by Bebi-Metalla X. The mutant went all out on his opponent and displayed no signs of remorse for the pain he has given to SaberVeemon. The Tufflesurian grabbed SaberVeemon and slams him down through the earthen ground. SaberVeemon was left a battered heap while Bebi-Metalla X levitates over his fallen victim.
"SaberVeemon! C'mon, get up!" Kazemon calls out.
"You can't let him win!" Keke exclaimed.
"Pikkan! I can't stand around like this! We have to go help Davis and Dorothy!" Gallantmon demanded.
"Not yet. Not unless SaberVeemon really needs us. At this point, he just might make a comeback. I hope," Pikkan said.
"I'll have to agree with Takato on this one. He desperately needs our assistance," said Lowemon.
"We can't sit on the sidelines," Beetlemon spat out. "Sorry, but that's not our style."
"I'll admit that I don't stand a chance at this point," Pikkan replied. "But this is the only way for SaberVeemon to make a comeback. Besides, he's too stubborn to even consider our assistance."
"You hear that, Max? What you need to do is look after Keke," Celesta X said. "Pikkan! Gallantmon! You stay on the sidelines with the others. I'll do whatever I can to momentarily to distract this bastard."
"Ok, then. Just call us when you need help," said Gallantmon.
"We'll be here," Pikkan stated.
(Play Digimon Zero Two theme Target Akai Shougeki)
Celesta X powered up with a bright aura brightening her form. She upgraded herself into her Mystic Celesta form. She flies out into the battle as Bebi-Metalla X prepares to fire away a barrage of ki blasts. Bebi-Metalla X turns to face his former mind slave with a sadistic grin.
"Let's go, Bebimon! You controlled me once before. You're not going to do it again. I promise you that."
"Huh? You're serious about going through with this. You are definitely one of a kind, Hikari. Unlike these pathetic excuses of warriors, you seem to understand the true depth of my strength. Judging by your ki, you are definitely one of earth's finest warriors. Now prove your worth to me!"
"My pleasure."
As soon as she said that, Mystic Celesta immediately appears in front of Bebimon. The Tufflesurian was surprised by Mystic Celesta's superior speed. Mystic Celesta delivers a strong right hand and follows it up with another. She then thrusts her fists into Bebi-Metalla X's gut. The holy warrior raises her fists and delivers a clubbing blow to the back of Bebimon's head. Mystic Celesta soars over her adversary. Just as she was about to strike again, Bebi-Metalla X immediately phases out.
"Get back here!"
Mystic Celesta flies up to find Bebi-Metalla X with an arrogant smirk on his face. The angelic warrior's fists were coated with auras of light and thus deliver a devastating blow into Bebimon's chest. She cupped her hands together, chants to herself and unleashes an enormous energy wave.
"HOLY BEAM!"
Mystic Celesta sets her attack on Bebi-Metalla X and sets her target on him solely. However, Bebimon saw it coming and barely manages to phase away. Mystic Celesta looks up to find her opponent and unleashes a barrage of ki blasts. Bebi-Metalla X managed to dodge each of those blasts. She flies out at Bebi-Metalla X and throws out numerous swift kicks. The Tufflesurian struggled to dodge from each kick. He caught her left leg and delivers a head butt to her forehead. Mystic Celesta tilts back after the tremendous blow as a result of the head butt. Bebi-Metalla X phases over Mystic Celesta and delivers an elbow smash to the back of her neck.
"You just had me a while ago, Hikari! What's the matter? Don't tell I'm already overwhelming you! Ha, it seems you're still worn out after you fought your own friends."
The angelic warrior's eyes shot wide open and she tosses an energy ball at Bebi-Metalla X. The energy ball nails Bebi-Metalla X directly in the face and renders him blind temporarily. This gave Mystic Celesta a chance to recover from the mutant's offensive attack. She cupped her hands together and chants out her technique.
"HOLY BEAM!"
Mystic Celesta sends out her patented technique and directs it towards Bebimon for a second time. This time, the blast had hit its mark and sends the Tufflesurian soaring into the heavens. The energy blast explodes on impact with Bebimon. A smoke cloud now covered the villain within a moment. Everyone looks on desperately and prayed for hope. However, their hopes were destroyed, as the smoke cloud dispersed. Bebi-Metalla X was still levitating, but with damage to show for it.
(End theme)
"No! He's still alive!" Max cried out. "He's invincible!"
"No, wait. Look! He's been damaged!" Keke points out. "He might be still alive, but Kari is only looking to drive Bebimon out of my father's body."
"Ah, man! She almost had him!" Beetlemon said.
"If she couldn't take him down, then what can we do?" Kumamon wondered. "Screw our beast forms. He'll overcome us."
"No! Don't lose hope you guys! Wait until Kouji, Takuya and Beelzebumon get back here. Then, the tables will turn!" Kazemon reassured her friends.
Bebi-Metalla X simply cackled and levitated back towards the ground with Mystic Celesta following him.
Just then, Kaiser Greymon, Magna Garurumon and Beelzebumon returned to the battlefield. They were unable to retrieve War Angemon and the twins.
"Hey, what took you three!" Beetlemon wondered.
"Hey, we found them!" Kaiser Greymon announced. "But they're incapitated at the moment. Bebimon really knocked them out."
"That's good that you found them," Gallantmon said. "But we're in deep trouble. SaberVeemon and Mystic Celesta are barely managing to damage this freak."
"You've got to be kidding me!" Beelzebumon exclaimed. "Just let me at him!"
"Hold it right there, big guy," Magna Garurumon said. "Let's wait this through. It's not a good idea to rush in without strategy."
"Ugh, I hate using strategies. Beelzebumon don't play like that!"
Gallantmon levitates down to where Beelzebumon stood and walks past him with determination. The winged demon questioned the exalted knight's motives.
"What is it, pineapple head?"
"Kari isn't going to last much longer. She's simply tired out after fighting with us," said Gallantmon.
"This means we'll have to step in," Kaiser Greymon replied. "Ready, Magna Garurumon?"
"I'm right behind you, Takuya!"
However, Mystic Celesta stops in front of the four and turns back to face Bebi-Metalla X.
"You guys stay back. Even if you four ganged up on him, he'll still overwhelm you."
"No! Remember, I can upgrade myself into Crimson Mode. I still have Grani's power within me," Gallantmon assured the warrior.
"Now long do you think you can maintain the form? Crimson Mode was equal to Omega X's third level form. He didn't even stand a chance with Bebimon. You know. I know. We were both there to witness it. Crimson Mode will make no difference."
"Then, there's no use standing around. I'm going for it!"
"No! Takato! What are you doing!" Mystic Celesta X calls out.
"That idiot is going to get himself killed!" said Pikkan. "Where the hell is SaberVeemon? We definitely need him."
"What's he doing? Does Takato actually think he stands a chance against Bebimon?" Lowemon wondered.
"He's a fool," Kazemon said. "Tai couldn't even beat that freak."
Back on the battlefield, Gallantmon quickly ascends into his Crimson Mode form. The crimson knight wielded his Invisible Swords. Bebi-Metalla X immediately saw the evolved warrior flying with full speed. As soon as Gallantmon swung his swords, the mutant leaps over. He was caught by surprise to Bebimon's superior speed.
"No way! He's even faster than me in our Crimson Mode form! We were able to nearly match D-Reaper in this form!"
Bebi-Metalla X quickly forms a black energy ball and expands its size. The crimson knight turns and was unprepared for what was about to happen to him next.
"Never take your eyes off of me, you fool!" Bebimon cackled. "Even with your immediate power up, you're power level is the same as Taichi's. In other words, you don't stand a chance! Now eat this!"
The Tufflesurian fired the massive energy ball towards Gallantmon. He tries to hold it back with his swords but failed to stop it. He took the dark ball head on and was sent flying backwards. Gallantmon cries out as his armored body was shattered by the energy ball's force. The exalted knight quickly dedigivolves into two separate entities: Takato and Guilmon. The groups were caught in complete shock at the turn of events. Pikkan flies out to catch both of them.
"Ah! No! He defeated Crimson Mode!" Keke cries out.
"SO, this Crimson Mode was supposed to be strong as Tai's Omega X form?" Kaiser Greymon asked. "If he couldn't even last seconds with this freak, then what kind of a chance do we have!"
"No chance in hell, retched human," Bebimon retorted. "I've beaten your best warriors! You all didn't live up to my expectations. I'm growing tired of this. I'll kill you one by one slowly."
"Damn! Now what!" Magna Garurumon wondered.
"I'll take over from here!" Mystic Celesta exclaimed. "Bebimon! You're fight is with me!"
Pikkan flies down to where his comrades awaited him. He laid an unconscious Takato and Guilmon.
"Don't worry. They'll be all right," Pikkan said. "They've exhausted a lot of their power from their Crimson Mode form."
"But, what about Grani's power? Did it suddenly go to waste!" Max asked. "He was supposed to have a near infinite power."
"Well, he hasn't used Crimson Mode since the war with the D-Reaper," the Alterian replied. "So, it's possible that Grani's power weakened over the years. I can't explain, since the Monster Makers created Grani."
"Well, that sucks!" Kaiser Greymon said. "Heads up, guys!"
"Kari! Get away from there!" Max cried out. "He's going for his Death Ball!"
Bebi-Metalla X grinned and lifted a hand palm over his head. Within a few seconds, a large, black massive sphere materialized and grew at a tremendous rate. Mystic Celesta powers up and flies up to stop the cackling villain.
"No! With that large amount of energy in that ball, he'll kill all of us in one full swoop!" max exclaimed.
"That's too much. Even for me," Beelzebumon said. "Damn! You just had to go and be a hero, pineapple head!"
"What kind of a nut are you! You'll destroy your own planet with that enormous amount of energy!" Mystic Celesta calls out.
"You're the fools. Since I can manipulate my own ki, this death ball will only be enough to kill you pests off. I will see to it that my own planet remains unscathed at the same time! Now prepare to die, worms!"
"Aw, hell no! Not if I can help it!" Beelzebumon exclaimed. "Kari! You better move aside! This punk is mine!"
The winged demon drew out his positron gun and fires away energy shots at the cackling villain. Each shot were ineffective and became absorbed into the Death Ball. Beelzebumon's shots were only feeding the sphere more power. Soon, everyone fired their attacks with little effort, but their efforts were in vain. Bebi-Metalla X's death ball was growing with tremendous power.
"You guys! Stop firing any more blasts! You're only feeding his Death Ball more energy!" Mystic Celesta warned her comrades.
"You're friend is correct, worms! Try all your might! In the end, you will all be dead anyway. This is the end of the road for you! Ha! Ha! With Taichi gone, I have no equal!"
"Yo! You wanna to try saying that to my face!" a familiar voice calls out.
"Huh! Am I hearing things! Where did that voice come from!"
"Over here, asshole!"
The Tufflesurian turned around as he was met with a fist to the face. The mysterious warrior turned out to be Omega X. He came flying out of nowhere and sent Bebi-Metalla X plummeting down towards the earth ground. Omega X finds the Death Ball and immediately caught it. He summoned all of his strength to hurl the Death Ball into the heavens and through the atmosphere. As soon as it escaped into space, the Death Ball exploded and a force of light dispersed across the heavens. Omega X smirked and flew down to where the Tufflesurian leader was left laying.
Mystic Celesta gasped with happiness and flew down to greet her brother. Max jumped for joy as he laid his eyes upon Omega X. The others were just as relieved to find the warrior alive and well. All rumors of his death had now become nothing more than inaccurate information.
"Tai!" Mystic Celesta X cries out. "You're alive!"
"Hey, Kari. I'm sorry for worrying all of you."
"Dad! You're alive! I'm so glad to see you again!"
"Tai! I thought you were gone from this world," Pikkan said. "You sure do have a knack of pulling through death's doors."
The warrior of courage turned towards Pikkan and gave him a nod. He smiles over to Max and put a hand on his left shoulder.
"Thanks for leading the team, son. I'm proud of you."
"You had me scared there! But I knew you'd come back!"
"Ha! I'm glad someone believed that I would escape death."
Suddenly, the warrior felt a dark ki and turned to face Bebi-Metalla X. The villain rose to his feet and had a shocked look on his chagrin.
"What! How could you have survived! You should have died! You must be a damned ghost!"
"Could a ghost have done what he just did a moment ago? You've been spouting out a lot of crap lately since my alleged 'death'. Quite frankly. I'm sick of it."
"Heh, you're a funny guy, Taichi. But I'm not in the mood for your jokes."
"Good. How about a little rematch? Just you and me. We can pick off where we last left off."
"Ha! So, you're ready to get beaten again! Ok! That makes it twice as good! I'll make sure to send you to hell for good. I guarantee that you will die right in front of your own son's eyes."
"If I die, then I'll die with honor. Honor is a trait, which is foreign to your kind. Now let's get this over with."
"Have it your way, Taichi. I shall grant you that honorable death!"
The two warriors faced each other and stepped into immediate fighting stances. Almost suddenly, the warriors phased out from everyone's very own eyes.
"Go get that punk, dad! I know you can defeat him!"
"But… I thought your dad died!" Kaiser Greymon said. "I don't get it."
"No way. The likes of that creep will never kill my dad. Ok, I admit it. I thought he had died in the first place. But I always remember what my parents tell me. 'A Kamiya never quits or dies easily.' Since then, I've believed every single word they said. I won't lose hope now, or ever."
Keke smiles as she once again showed support for the warrior. Mystic Celesta stood by next to Max and put a hand on his left shoulder.
"Aunt Kari?"
"Believe in your father, Max. He's an incredible guy. He helped get me where I am."
Just then, there was a sudden movement from underneath a pile of rubble. Everyone turned to find the source. To their shock, SaberVeemon emerged.
"SaberVeemon! You're all right!" Kazemon calls out.
"Whew! Thank goodness you're still with us!" Mystic Celesta said.
"Hey, it's Tai! He's back!" SaberVeemon spouted out. "I thought he'd never make it."
"Yeah and he's going to take it to Bebimon!" Max said.
"Looks like we won't be needed," Magna Garurumon replied.
"For now at least," SaberVeemon muttered. "Watch your back, Tai. He's a dangerous and a sneaky bastard."
(Play Rammestein Du Haust)
Bebi-Metalla X and Omega X managed to attack each other with tremendous force from their fists. Each time a single fist was met, a tremendous force erupted and caused the surroundings to crumble. Every rock ledge crumbled at the very battle, which was taking place. Omega X had become much more powerful since his last encounter with the Tufflesurian. However, Bebi-Metalla X was not going to let the warrior's new strength frighten him. He was intrigued by his power increase.
Bebi-Metalla X delivers a barrage of punches, which Omega X was able to dodge. Omega X was still struggling against the Tufflesurian's relentless attacks. Bebi-Metalla X manages to deliver a punch to Omega X's face. Omega X was sent flying backwards as Bebi-Metalla X swooped down in pursuit. Omega X revives his thoughts and quickly delivers a flying head butt to Bebi-Metalla X's gut. The Tufflesurian cried out as Omega X punched him in the face. Bebi-Metalla X flew backwards but managed to stop himself. He puts his hand over his the top of his head and hurls a large ki ball at Omega X. The warrior phases away as the ball crashes through a rocky ledge. Bebi-Metalla X twirls another and watches it ram into the ground below.
The surrounding smoke momentarily distracted Omega X and his concentration had dropped. Bebi-Metalla X took advantage of his distracted foe and executed an elbow smash to the back of the warrior's head. Omega X quickly regains his momentum and turns to face his enemy.
"All right! That's it! Here we go! Upgrade to level three!"
As soon as he said that, Omega X quickly transformed into his third-level form and flew at the Tufflesurian. Bebi-Metalla X puts out his palms and shoots out numerous ki blasts. Omega X quickly phases away from the blasts and appears in front of Bebi-Metalla X. Omega X goes to deliver numerous punches to Bebi-Metalla X's gut. The Tufflesurian was sent reeling back as Omega X was gaining momentum. Everyone looked on with surprise at the sudden power increase generating from Omega X.
"My dad is taking it to him! Go for it, dad! Finish him!" Max cried out.
"Tai. I can't believe he's really giving it to him. After everything we've tried, he's taking it to him. But I wonder if it will be enough?" Pikkan said.
"Lets just pray and hope to god that he pulls through. He's going to have to do something drastic to put down Bebi-Metalla X," replied Mystic Celesta.
"C'mon, dad! You can do it! You can't lose again! You're a Kamiya! A Kamiya never quits!"
Omega X delivers a devastating uppercut to Bebi-Metalla X but the Tufflesurian comes back with a fist to the warrior's gut. Omega X cried out but managed to hold the threshold back. He had to defeat Bebi-Metalla X to save his friends and family. This was his only chance. Bebi-Metalla X hammers away at Omega X with devastating fists to the warrior's chest.
"I don't get it! I'm supposed to be stronger through that crappy training Gosenzomon put me through! Bebimon is still taking me to school!"
Bebi-Metalla X relentlessly bashes his fists against the hero's face and nails him with another right hand. Omega X goes flying backwards as Bebi-Metalla X appears in front of him. The Tufflsurian wrenches back and drills a fist to Omega X's chest. The warrior coughed out blood from his mouth as Bebi-Metalla X kneed him in the face.
"He's not going to be able to defeat him!" Kaiser Greymon exclaimed. "We've got to at least lend him a hand!"
"Dad! Hang in there! Please don't lose! You're the greatest warrior of the digital world! Nobody can beat you! Not even this creep!"
"Max. I think you should realize that your dad's power isn't even relatively close to Bebimon's," Keke said. "We should get your dad out of there and come up with a strategy."
"I'm sorry, Kek. I'm not going to leave. I must stay to support my father. I'll abandon him."
"But, Max…"
"You guys can get away from here, but my loyalty remains with my father."
Bebi-Metalla X cries out as he drills another fist to Omega X's face. The warrior was starting to reel against the Tufflesurian's relentless attacks.
"And here's one for the money!" Bebi-Metalla X cackled.
The villain delivers an overhead smash across the hero's back, which sent him crashing through the earth below. Bebi-Metalla X smirked as Omega X was sprawled out with tons of debris over him. Omega X phased out from his third-level form and was left helpless.
(End Du Haust theme)
"Dad! You can't lose! I can't stand to see you like this!"
SaberVeemon rose to his feet as he clenched his fists angrily. Bebi-Metalla X levitated down over the fallen Omega X to deliver a devastating blow.
"So, ready to meet your maker? As I promised, I'm going to make sure you stay dead."
Omega X simply smirked as his eyes fell glazed over. The villain points a finger over directly at the warrior's chest. The others were prepared to make their move to stop the Tufflesurian.
"Go on and kill me. But remember that you'll realize that you've killed off your only form of competition. There is nobody else strong enough to stop you."
"Blah. Blah. Cut the hero crap. I say you die and no more damn insects to stand in my way!"
"Dad! No!"
"Goodbye!"
Suddenly, a figure quickly grasped herself around Bebimon like a constrictor. The Tufflesurian was shocked as SaberVeemon wrapped his arms around him in a tight grasp.
"What! It's you! Unhand me!"
"Sorry, but I'm not going to let you kill off my best friend! If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have been able to fend you off in the first place! Dorothy told me that she wouldn't stand to see her own sensei die!"
"That's the way, SaberVeemon!" Max exclaimed. "You take care of business! We'll go and get my dad out of there!"
"Let's go, Max!" Keke said as she ran off.
"Hey! Wait for me!"
"Keke! Max! Get back here!" Mystic Celesta calls out to the children.
As everyone looked on, Mystic Celesta chased off after the children. Takato and Guilmon woke up from their sudden unconsciousness.
"Did somebody get the number on that bus?" Guilmon asked.
"Huh? What just happened? I remembered that Bebimon jerk blasted us away. Ah! We're back to normal?"
"Bebimon was able to defeat you while in your Crimson Mode form," Pikkan explained. "Omega X is back and he's down. Thank goodness for SaberVeemon. He's holding him off while we get Tai out of there."
"That's a relief!" the goggle head said.
"No kidding!" Guilmon responded.
Max and Keke ran over towards Omega X's side, while SaberVeemon held the villain in his grasp. Bebi-Metalla X struggled to break free from the warrior's grasp.
"Now I'm going to self destruct and take this asshole with me!"
"Davis! Dorothy! You guys can't! Don't you go throwing your own lives for our sakes!" Max cried out.
"Yeah! You've got a long life ahead of you!" said Keke. "Please reconsider!"
"I'm afraid that this is the only way of making sure Bebimon never comes back to haunt us again."
"But you'll take my father's body away at the same time!" Keke said. "Bebimon possessed my father's body!"
SaberVeemon gasped as he finally realized that he would be taking away Matt's life away. The fused warrior released his grasp, which brought a smile on Bebi-Metalla X's face. He places his palm across his chest and powers up a ki blast.
"You should have killed me when you had the chance! Oh well, just another waste to send to the junkyard."
With that said, the villain fires a blast at SaberVeemon and sends his flying backwards. He goes slamming through several rock ledges. Max and Keke looked on with shock. Omega X growled angrily. As soon as Mystic Celesta arrived, she grabbed the children and gasped in shock.
"Davis! Dorothy! No!" Mystic Celesta screamed in agony.
"Well now that piece of garbage is out of the way, who wants to join her?"
Omega X gazed over at the fallen rock debris and saw SaberVeemon battered. He had nearly died from that blast. It was a miracle for him to have survived. However, this did not suite well for Omega X. The hero growled as his body started to tremble.
(Play Demon Inuyasha OST theme)
"No! He nearly killed my student, Dorothy! He nearly killed my bud, Davis! He took Matt's body. He took my wife and turned her into a mindless slave. He's turned nearly everyone we know into drones! I won't stand for this! I don't care how much you despise humans, but I will not stand for this! I'm going to tear you up, you bastard."
Suddenly, Max felt a rising power coming from his father. His eyes widened as a bright glow came across Omega X. The warrior pulls out the spirit, which Shintomon had given him.
"Dad! What is that! Wait! That looks like one of those spirits that Takuya and his friends used!"
"Spirit! Did he just say spirit!" Magna Garurumon asked.
"Tai has a spirit!" Kaiser Greymon cried out.
"Impossible! How did he obtain one!" Kumamon replied.
"Oh, it sure looks like a spirit," stated Kazemon. "There's no doubt about it."
"Whoa! How did he get that?" Keke asked. "Was he hiding that from us this whole time? Maybe your dad will pull through after all!"
"Do it, dad!"
"Max! Keke! Get the hell away from here!" Mystic Celesta cries out.
The angelic warrior runs out to snatch the children away from the area. Max struggles to break free and calls out to his father.
"I'm going to kick the crap out of this bastard!" Omega X hissed with venom in his voice. "He doesn't deserve to breathe another inch of oxygen! He's going to die…"
Max was quickly taken back as his father's voice deepened into a beast-like tone. A bright glow consumed the warrior as Mystic Celesta carried the children off.
"Max! Don't let go! Your father… He's… He's lost control."
"But how? Why?"
Omega X turned around and faced Max with intensity. Max was surprised by the look on his father's face. He knew that something had snapped within his father, but he didn't realize that his father would go completely insane.
"Max!"
Max cried out to his father as his voice echoed throughout the heavens. Celesta X held the children tightly around her grasp.
"Tai? What is happening to you!"
"What's going on? Why is that I feel Tai's power increasing?" Pikkan asked.
"Looks like my dad has a ace up his sleeve. I never would have doubted him," Max said. "But why did your voice change? Something about this doesn't seem right. Or is it just me?"
The aura grew massive as Omega X's size was increasing. His muscles bulged as the spirit quickly began to overcome him.
"What is this! Your power is growing faster than ever!" Bebi-Metalla X said. "Why didn't I see this coming? Is there any damn limits to this?"
Omega X screams as energy spirals started engulfing him. His eyes started to glow crimson and his teeth became beast-like.
"Execute! Courage Spirit Evolution!"
Omega X's armor shattered as he grew into a Tyrannosaurus-sized reptilian monster. His eyes were neon and his teeth were sharper than that of a kitchen machete. His clawed talons were long enough to reach out for anything that came his way. His skin was red with black stripes. His tail was not only prehensile but very powerful looking. Gone was his happy and laid back nature. Tai had become a walking killing machine with no soul.
"Tai!" Mystic Celesta cried out with anguish.
"Max! I can't believe what I'm seeing! That's screwed up!" Keke cried out.
"Dad? So this is what the spirit does for you? You shouldn't have used it! This is so wrong!"
"Something is terribly wrong. It's as if this wasn't supposed to happen," said Pikkan.
"I agree. This happened to me when I used the beast spirit to become Burning Greymon," Kaiser Greymon said.
"Only this is worse. There's a good chance he'll attack us at first sight!" Kazemon exclaimed.
"This has happened before when I tried to make Guilmon digivolve!" Takato cried out.
"Yeah. I'll never want to do that again," the crimson digimon said.
As soon as Mystic Celesta landed near the group, the children jumped off. Max had listened to Takato's reminder of Guilmon's evolution failure and rushes up towards him.
"Wait! My dad told me about that incident," said Max. "So you forced Guilmon to digivolve?"
"That's right. We wanted to kill Beelzebumon," said the goggle head.
"Hey. Don't remind me. I had to get that gooey crap off my face!"
"So. My dad forced this upon himself?"
"Your father was thinking clearly and now he has lost control of the spirit power," Mystic Celesta said. "I'm sorry to have to tell you this, Max."
Max looked across as Omega X roared like a hellish demon. Bebi-Metalla X looked on with a shocked look across his face. He had never seen anything so frightening than this new evolution.
(End theme)
"An evolution failure? My father? No, this just can't be…"
What a horrible turn of events. After witnessing SaberVeemon's near death experience, Tai has forced the power of the spirit upon him and he now pays the price. But can even Tai realize whom he is fighting for and what his true motives are? Can Max talk sense into his father before the monster goes on a wave of destruction?
