Kanius: Konnichwa, minna! Heh, I just had to say that. That translates to good day, everyone. Either its day or afternoon, somebody please correct me. I need a little more work on my Japanese. Anyway, this saga is really starting to get underway. Too bad there are only three more chapters to go. Hopefully, I can breeze through this before school starts this coming week. Now, without further ado, I say we get started on the fic! Enjoy!

The Legendary Warriors vs. Super Artificial Jax! The Plan to Escape Limbo!
Paladin stood by watching the battle on Earth unfold through the viewing orb. He waves his hand over to get another view of Super Artificial Jax.
"Um, so how exactly are you going to get us out?" Gallantmon asked. "It's not as if there are anymore doorways out of here."
"What he said… We're in a really tight spot here, pal," replied Omega X.
"Don't worry you two. I'm the one who holds the keys. However, I'll have to ask the help of a friend of yours."
"A friend of ours?"
"Yes, Taichi. I do believe his name is Koushiro."
"Izzy?! What do you need him for?"
"It seems he has made contact with X to inform me on matter. I wasn't currently present at my guardian post when the mess with the doorway opened up. Even my keys are unable to open a portal… I don't know why. So I require Koushiro to help me create energy waves that can synchronize with one another. Sort of like how the two artificials were able to perform to create the doorway out of digital limbo and into your world."
"Ok, I'm not quite following you, but I know that we have to get this problem solved," stated Omega X.
"What are we waiting for, Paladin? Let's get this over with."
"Agreed."
Paladin shuts his eyes and immediately sends a telepathic message to Izzy, who was on the other side on Earth.
"Koushiro! I've found your friends. We should really get started on this operation."
Hypnos HQ
Izzy was setting up the satellite dishes he had previously used during the experiment for Bebimon's operations. He had set them in position towards the heavens. The young man stopped as he quickly listened to Paladin's telepathic message.
"Izzy! It's me, Paladin! Are the devices set up yet?"
"The satellite uplinks are already in position to set off a direct energy signal through the spot where the wormhole once loomed. If we can just simultaneously direct each other's energy signals, then we'll successfully set off a reaction and force the wormhole open."
"Good. We're ready to get started. The others aren't faring well against the Super Artificial as we speak."
"Right. According to a report sent by Kabuterimon, the Legendary Warriors are taking action against the Super Artificial. I just hope they can hold him off for a while. Time is of essence on our parts."
"Then, let's hurry. I'm ready to get this started."
"Talley. Is everything set?"
"Uh huh. That ought to do it."
"Prodigious. Paladin's waiting for us to make our first move. Let's just hope that this method works."
Yamaki checks on each satellite uplink and gives an approving nod to the team. As soon as he nodded, Izzy presses on the control panel and activates the systems.
"All right! It's ready to go!"
Digital Limbo
Paladin quickly looks on through the viewing orb to witness the Hypnos crew set up the satellite uplinks. He focuses his concentration on his energy and puts his hands out freely.
"How long is this going to take?" Gallantmon wondered.
"It will take some time since this is the first time I've had to take such repercussions."
"All right, then. Just let us know when you guys have that portal opened," said Omega X.
"Izzy! Read set… Go!"
With that said, Paladin sends out an energy beam towards the spot where the doorway once stood.
Hypnos HQ
Izzy activated the satellite uplinks and simultaneously sends a direct signal towards the spot where the portal would be opened. However, their first effort was in vain. Their energy signals did not successfully synchronize.
"Darn! We couldn't get it right!"
"Koushiro! We're going to get this done. Don't worry about it. That portal will open."
"Right. Okay everyone! We're going to give it a few more tries! On my signal…"
"You heard him! Satellite uplinks have already uploaded and we're ready to fire."
"Good! On three… One… Two…"
Digital Limbo
"THREE!!"
The guardian sends out another direct energy signal at the same time as the Hypnos crew sent another signal through the satellite networks. Unfortunately, their efforts had failed once again. That was two strikes for both sides.
"Darn! We nearly had that one! If only we could have chanted out simultaneously!" Paladin exclaimed.
"Um, how about a little help? I know a way you guys can get both energy signals to synchronize," Omega X said.
"How, so?"
"How about something like this? 'One hot potato, two hot potato, three hot potato, four hot potato?!"
Both Gallantmon and Paladin fell backwards in embarrassment over Omega X's ridiculous idea. Paladin grabs Omega X by his neck and strangles like around.
"YOU IDIOT!! HOW IS THAT SUPPOSED TO HELP US?!"
"What? Max and I always used that chant when we usually get lost out in summer camp. Usually when he gets lost, I would call out to him using that phrase and he would reply back. Once we both call out simultaneously, we would eventually find each other."
"Wow, I didn't really think about that. That's pretty useful," Gallantmon said.
"Yeah, especially if you want to find your way out of a deep forest with no one around to protect you. I remember last summer when Max…"
"Can we stop this idle chit chat?" Paladin asked. "I've already told Izzy about using the chant. He said that is the worst form of strategy you've ever come up with."
"Geez, critics these days…"
"But, he said he'll go along with the plan. We'll be using it to synchronize our energy signals. Hopefully, the doorway will finally open. Your friends, the legendary warriors, are already in battle with the Super Artificial. Now, let us hurry. Izzy! I'm ready!"
The heroes looked across at the viewing orb to witness Super Artificial Jax easily dodging blows from all six legendary warriors.
"C'mon, guys! Stay in top form and hang in there!" Omega X said. "We're counting on you!"
Outskirts of Tokyo
The ensuing battle was escalating as the six legendary warriors took it upon themselves to go on the offensive against Super Artificial Jax. Kaiser Greymon and Magna Garurumon led the charge. The warrior of fire struck at his adversary with his sword, yet Jax was able to maneuver away from each sword swipe.
"Hold still you!"
Magna Garurumon came diving in at the Super Artificial and goes to swipe him with his laser saber. Jax manages to phase away in time. The megas searched their surroundings to realize that the artificial had disappeared from their sight.
"Everyone! Watch your backs! He could be hiding anywhere!" Kaiser Greymon warned his allies.
"Idiots! Look up above you!" Metalla X calls out to the warriors.
Everyone turns their attention towards the heavens to spot Artificial Jax levitating with a calm and collective glare on his face. Kaiser Greymon loses his composure and flies out towards the artificial. He jumps over the Super Artificial and positions his blade over his primary target.
"Dragon Fire Crossbow!!"
The Z-Hybrid warriors' blasts Jax head on with one of his most devastating attacks performed. However, the artificial took the blast without a care and his body barely had a scratch on it.
"You're kidding me?!"
"Outta my way!"
Magna Garurumon catches up towards the artificial and tightly grasps onto his laser sabers. He comes down and jams his laser sabers through Jax's side ribs. However, the super artificial was able to catch the sabers with his hands. Without even turning back to face his adversary, Jax delivers an elbow shot that knocks Magna Garurumon away. He then takes off towards Kaiser Greymon and delivers a painful elbow shot into his gut.
"C'mon, guys! We'll attack together at the same time!" Metal Kabuterimon exclaimed.
As Jax levitated down with the two megas plummeting into the ground, the four B-Hybrids surrounded the super artificial at once. Metal Kabuterimon was the first to implement an attack.
"Bolo Thunder!!"
Jagerloweemon was next as he unleashed a powerful dark blast from out of his mouth.
"Ebony Blast!!"
Next, Zephrymon brings down an array of tornadoes that materialized out of nowhere.
"Hurricane Hail!!"
Finally, Korikkakumon crouches forward and unleashes many arrow-shaped spears from out of his back.
"Frozen Arrowheads!!"
As their attacks made their mark on their target, the super artificial brings his hands forward to easily cancel out each attack. The warriors were caught in surprise by the power the artificial was displaying. He was easily taking the attacks from each legendary warrior as if they were fleabites.
"No way! He's taking them all without breaking a sweat!" Tike exclaimed.
"Why am I not surprised?" Mystic Celesta said. "That's it. We're getting back in there. I don't care if they want to complain about it either."
"No! You guys leave this to us!" Kaiser Greymon said while struggling to his feet. "Besides…"
"We still have our trump card," replied Magna Garurumon.
"That's right! They still can merge together to form Susanoomon!" stated Sakuyamon.
"Well, what are you guys waiting for? Don't give him anymore time to retaliate!" Beelzebumon said.
"You heard him! Let's see this unified warrior that you have been bragging about," Metalla X snapped. "Let's see this Susanoomon. We'll judge for ourselves if he stands a chance against this bastard."
"Ha! Your efforts will be in vain!" Datamon said.
"This Susanoomon could be the one that defeated Lucemon," Dr. Myuumon replied. "I've heard rumors that the ten legendary warriors came together to form the ultimate warrior. Lucemon greatly underestimated you and he paid the price! Super Artificial Jax is leagues ahead of Lucemon and will deflect whatever this ultimate power throws at him! So give it your best shot!"
"Blah… Blah… Blah… As far as we're concerned, we're going to shut that big mouth of yours once Susanoomon lays the smack down on his candy ass!" Kaiser Greymon snapped. "We're going to avenge the loss of the ones who died by this monster's hands."
"That's right! Ken and Sonja have to be avenged!" War Angemon exclaimed. "Take him down!"
"We intend to!" the six legendary warriors shouted in unison. "EXECUTE! ANCIENT SPIRIT EVOLUTION!!"
The six spirit warriors of legend transformed into pillars of light and united together to combine themselves. They were then pulled into a single column of light and merged into one body. The new body grew into titanic proportions and stood tall. The spirits encircled the body and dispersed across the body form.
Magna Garurumon's head attached itself onto the form's right hand. More pieces of armor attached themselves onto the legs and along came Kaiser Greymon's head attaching to the left hand. As soon as his body was covered by dark red armor with yellow stripes scattered across, the head forms. A helmet-like crown forms at the top of its head with a symbol. A mouth mask covers its lower face and a pair of eyes opened to get a view of its enemy. His lower waist was covered by a blue armor as was his feet. A pair of black glove hands came sprouting out from the heads. The transformation came to an end once a circular ring attached itself on the titan's back. The warrior finally exposes itself and completes its evolution. The unified spirit warrior lets out a cry as he calls out his official name.
"SUSANOOMON!!"
The masterminds looked in utter disbelief at the magnificent, rare sight of Susanoomon. The ultimate warrior had stood before them and he was ready to take on their super artificial. Jax faces off with his larger opponent and levitates to face him off.
"My goddramon! So this is Susanoomon?!" Metalla X asked. "This was the warrior Bebimon forced me to battle when he had control voer me?!"
"Impressed, brother?" War Angemon asked.
"He'll give Jax the fight he's looking for!" Mystic Celesta informed them. "You're going to be impressed at what he can do!"
"Those kids actually did that?" Mega Gargomon said. "Well I'll be…"
Susanoomon steps forward and gets into an immediate battle stance. The face off with the two superpowers was well under way.
"This should be quite a show, Dr. Myuumon. Finally, we'll see if this one can bring out Jax's full capabilities."
"Yes, this is quite a rare sight indeed. It's a pleasure to finally get a glimpse of Susanoomon in person, but his chances of victory are the same as these fools… slim to none. Jax will overcome the warrior of legend."
"Yes, because in the end, technology prevails overall."
The two superpowers immediately got the battle underway as they clashed together. The super artificial bounces away from his larger adversary and flies overhead. Susanoomon turns to find Jax levitating behind him. He goes to snatch the artificial but to no avail. Jax had already become a much difficult catch for the titan. Susanoomon throws out his fists in order to catch the artificial's guard off.
"He's not going to catch him in this state," Pikkan said. "The artificial clearly has the speed advantage."
"Not unless one of us intervenes!" Mystic Celesta said. "Allow me to demonstrate."
The angelic female brings herself forward into the battle and tosses out an energy blast towards Super Artificial Jax. The bio-android turns to be caught off guard by Mystic Celesta's blast. This allowed Susanoomon to catch him. Jax struggles to break free with Susanoomon tightening his grip.
"You can't get away now, can you?!"
"That ought to level the planefield," said Mystic Celesta.
"Hey! Wait a minute! That's not fair!" Datamon cried out. "Blatant interference!"
"Relax, Datamon. Jax still has this won," Dr. Myuumon assured the mastermind. "Their probability for victory has already declined as it is."
"Are you certain?"
"Why would I lie? It's our creation after all. It's our ultimate artificial."
"Yes."
"Now watch Jax take apart the warrior of legend. It's only a matter of time now. Heh. Heh."
All eyes were glued onto the battlefield as Jax was struggling to break free out of Susanoomon's grip. The warrior of legend tightened his grip so that he would not let the artificial free. But, he did not take into account that the artificial had an unlimited amount of energy. He would use this to his advantage to escape and overwhelm the titan. Jax sets off a barrier, which throws Susanoomon off his game. Artificial Jax disperses his barrier and puts his hands out to fire an array of his 'Flash Bomber'. Susanoomon was struck from all sides by the artificial's blasts.
"Oh no! He's using that tactic he used on us!" War Angemon exclaimed.
"He's not going to be able to withstand this," replied Cyberleomon. "We need to get back in there and help those kids!"
"Wow. All I can say is that things aren't looking good for our side," Tike stated. "Unless the grownups do something to get in there…"
"But they were easily disposed of too!" Kara retorted. "Jeri, what do you think?"
"I don't know… Things are not looking good is all I can tell…"
"C'mon, Susanoomon! We believe in you! Knock him senseless!" Calumon cheered on the warrior.
Susanoomon plows through Jax's relentless assault and ignores the damage being given to him. The legendary warrior draws out his sword and slashes his way through the array of energy shots. Artificial Jax immediately stops his attacks and brings his sword down forward.
"What's this? I thought you were going to prove your tenacity by taking my shots head on. You're using a much different tactic than before. Still, it will not do you any good."
"You want to bet? Don't count on us relying on the same tactic. Trust me. You're in for a big surprise!"
With that said, Susanoomon's submits some of his own energy through the sword and lengthens it. He then brings the sword forward and swings it across the battlefield.
"How dull! You're resorting to the same sword tactic as before!"
"Think again! That was just a little set up of what we're going to do to you!"
"Hmm?"
Susanoomon cancels out the sword and quickly phases out. Artificial Jax turns around to find Susanoomon sending him flying back using an invisible force. The artificial found himself being buried under the pile of rubble.
"Clever trick!"
"Thanks. We thought of that ourselves," Susanoomon stated. "Now! We end this!"
The warrior retrieves his sword and takes a mighty swing against Artificial Jax for a final slash.
"Celestial Slash!!"
Artificial Jax leaps out of hiding and catches the sword by one hand. This caught the legendary hero by complete surprise. The same sword used to slay Lucemon had easily been caught by the super artificial.
"No way! A guy his size just caught the blade?!" Susanoomon exclaimed.
"It's useless, legendary warriors. I won't be easily done in as your past enemies! My energy is limitless and I can easily do away with you! Now, behold the power of technology!"
"Yes, because technology prevails overall!" laughed Dr Myuumon.
"Will somebody shut that punk up?!" Beelzebumon screamed.
"Susanoomon is not going to last much longer! Pikkan!" Cyberleomon exclaimed. "We'll have to get in there and do everything we can to save those warriors!"
"Right! Hikari! Takeru! You two come along!"
With assuring nods, the angelic pair takes off with Jeri's co-partners to rescue Susanoomon from getting dismantled by Jax. The artificial brings his fists forward and slams them against Susanoomon. The warrior struggles to break out of the artificial's offensive assault. Susanoomon stumbles backwards after being smashed with an array of fists from the resilient artificial.
"What's the matter? Not so invincible, are we?"
Just then, Jax sensed out the presence of the four advancing warriors. He turns to face each one of them with determination. Cyberleomon throws his fist out and sends an energy beam while channeling through his ki. Pikkan follows it up with his "Thunder Flash Attack". Mystic Celesta and War Angemon polished up the assault by combining their "Holy Beams' into a massive amount of energy. The artificial takes the combined assault head on and catches it head on.
"All right! They've got him against the ropes now!" Tike cried out. "Now lay him to waste! Don't let him go!"
"Keep it up!" Kara screamed.
"Will this even work?" Beelzebumon wondered. "This punk is taking everything we've got and he hasn't even shown any damn fatigue…"
"Wait a second! That barrier! You guys! That barrier he's creating is what's protecting him!" exclaimed Mega Gargomon. "Gee, why didn't tell us before, Henry? Keep us in suspense."
"That's it! I should have seen this from the start!" Mystic Celesta stated. "I thought that barrier wouldn't be much of a problem and that our combined attacks would penetrate through it. It's not use even trying to attack him at once!"
"How observant," Dr. Myuumon said. "You should give yourself a medal, Digi-Destined. It seems you're the only smart one in the group. Though, you're too late to even stop now. The more fire power you give Jax, then the more you're prolonging your defeat!"
"So, we're just feeding him energy? I should have known something was fishy about his barrier," said War Angemon. "Susanoomon! Halt your attacks! You're only feeding him energy!"
"Ugh! How low!" the warrior retorted towards the artificial.
"Now that I've gotten your full attention. Shall get this over with? I've already grown bored of your games," Artificial Jax said. "You can join your two dear friends soon!"
With that said, Jax puts his hands out over his oppositions and lets loose another array of blasts. The digimon gathered around to protect themselves and their friends from being struck. Pikkan rushes over to snare Jeri away from sight, while the parents shielded their children.
"Yes! Let them have it, Jax! I told you that even Susanoomon would bite the dust!" Datamon laughed. "Isn't this glorious, Dr. Myuumon? We've finally won."
"It's only a matter of time before we take control of this human infestation and allow artificial intelligence to take over."
"Burn in hell, Digi-Destined! Quite literally!" Datamon cries out in victory. "Revenge is finally mine!"
"Heh. That's what you think fool," Dr. Myuumon said in thought.
Digital Limbo
Paladin attempted one last try with the energy signal transfer. So far, it has been two failed attempts. He couldn't screw this last attempt. In order to make it easier, he would use Tai's tactic by chanting a phrase simultaneously with Izzy.
"This is it, Izzy! Let's give this one last shot!"
"Ready! One potato!"
"Two potato!"
"Three potato!"
"Four potato!"
"GO!!"
As soon as Paladin sent out one last energy signal, the Hypnos team sent their satellite signal in through towards the spot where the doorway was closed. The guardian made absolute certain that the chants were synchronized.
"This had better work! Please, hit your mark!"
Within a matter of moments, the energy signals collided with each another simultaneously. This resulted in the doorway being reopened and revealing the portal into the real world. Gallantmon and Omega X were both overjoyed by the successful result.
"All right! This is our big break!" Omega X said. "Takato! We're going home!"
"I'm so glad!"
"You two had better hurry then. The gateway is about to close again. Good luck and be careful out there. The super artificial is gaining an upper hand."
"Thank you for everything, Paladin. Don't worry. We'll take care of this problem."
"Oh and Taichi… Say hello to Takeru when you get back."
"Don't worry. I'll be sure to tell him. You take care, Paladin!"
"Hurry! It's closing!"
The hero pair flew out across towards the portal doorway leaving Paladin behind to handle the crisis occurring in digital limbo. Just then, a pair of energy shots was being fired towards Paladin. The guardian puts up his sword to block out the shots. He turned to find Burizalor and Virus, who had been thawed out of the ice for some mysterious reason.
"Hey! Shouldn't you two be locked in ice?!"
"Well, of course, you failed to take in account that we hired ourselves an insurance policy," Burizalor snickered.
"What do you mean?"
"Why not take a look behind you, my friend," said Virus.
Without even turning his back, Paladin was struck across the back by an overwhelming force. The perpetrator of the attack was none other than Cyberdramon. A sinister aura had enveloped the dragon as he stood over the fallen Paladin. It was surprising that a lower-level digimon was able to strike down an all powerful guardian.
"Didn't anyone ever tell you to never turn your back on your enemy?"
"Wha… Who are you? There's a great evil possessing you… You couldn't have the strength to do me in like this…"
"I have a message needed to be delivered. I want to you tell the higher powers that judgment is coming."
"But…"
"Don't worry. You'll see soon enough, my friend. The attacks by the hell forces are nothing to what's about to come next. This is just the first stage in our operation of end game for the human race."
"First stage?"
"Here's exactly what I want you to tell the higher powers. Though, it still won't matter what course of action they take. You will never derail our upcoming operation. The super artificial, Datamon and Dr. Myuumon… They are merely pawns in our game. Now, here's exactly what I want you to tell the higher powers and you had better tell them in full detail…"
"But, how did you crossover here? I never seen you here."
"Let's just say, I'm not who you think I am…"
"No, you couldn't be him! Millen-"
As the conversation continued, a dark shadow loomed over the individuals and concealed them for the time being. Was Cyberdramon telling the truth and are these recent occurrences merely a foreshadowing of the events yet to come? There was only one other person behind this operation and he currently wasn't present at the moment.
Shinjuku
Omega X and Gallantmon found themselves back on Earth. They looked across to find Max and Keke flying over towards them in desperation.
"Dad! Takato!" Max calls out.
"Max? Keke? What are you two doing here?"
"Well, we kind of helped with Izzy and his satellite things," Max replied. "But, that's not important now. That artificial is taking apart everyone in Tokyo! You have to hurry!"
"Where in Tokyo are they exactly?" Gallantmon asked.
"The outskirts I think," said Keke.
"No need to tell us where because I can sense their dying ki," Omega X. "C'mon, Takato! We have to hurry!"
"Can't we come too?" Max asked.
"Sorry, kids. You two stay with Izzy and Mr. Yamaki's team. Don't worry. We'll be back and clean this mess up. I promise that we'll beat this artificial creep."
"We're counting you two! Good luck!" Max said.
As they finished their conversation, the warriors took off into the distance in order to reach Tokyo's outskirts in time. Their friends were in grave danger of being decimated by the super artificial.
Outskirts of Tokyo
The battle had now taken a turn for the worse as the super artificial regained control of the momentum. He shoots Beelzebumon away a devastating energy blast and drives an elbow into Sakuyamon's gut. He polishes up on Susanoomon with a ferocious kick to his face. The ultimate warrior is sent skidding across the dirt.
"Damn it! No! We can't let them get away for what they've done to Ken and Sonja!" War Angemon growled.
"I know what you mean, Takeru!"
Super Artificial Jax stands his ground and turns to face Cyberleomon. He detaches his left arm and reveals a gattlin gun.
"Super Artificial Jax! Quit playing around! Finish them off immediately!" Datamon ordered.
Dr. Myuumon looks on from aside the battlefield with a grin while giving an approving nod to the super artificial. It seems that they had their own agenda and did not pay any attention to Datamon. Jax fired away from his gattlin gun hand and causes Cyberleomon to block away each shot with his sword. The artificial stops toying with the brave beast and reattaches his arm back on.
Suddenly, Metalla X steps back onto the battlefield with many cuts across his body. He powers up back into his level two form.
"Hey, we're not finished yet!" Metalla X calls out.
"What's that? You still want to continue, even though I've already pounded you into the ground?"
"Matt! Don't do this!" War Angemon pleaded. "You're in no condition to continue on like this!"
"TK! Do me a favor and shut it! I will not let this creep humiliate me anymore!!"
"You're forgetting that this monster killed Ken and Sonja! Take that into consideration, will you?!"
"Fine. That just motivates me to want to kill him further. Artificial! Let's get this over with!"
"So, you've decided to prolong your demise? Heh, whatever suites you best."
"Don't you ever mock me!"
Metalla X once again takes off into the battlefield and phases out of sight. The artificial easily kept up with his enemy's movements and followed him out. Metalla X throws out an array of fists while the artificial dodged each blow. They dragged out the fight across the battlefield and caused the ground to erupt under their sheer power.
"Wow! Just look at my brother go!" War Angemon said. "I can barely keep up with him!"
"I can see clearly where he's at," Mystic Celesta said. "He's burning up more energy like this while that artificial remains ready to go."
"Darn! I just wish our power were limitless. We would have survived much longer than this."
Pikkan placed Jeri onto a bench outside of the crater and laid Calumon on her lap.
"You two stay here. All right? Look after Tike and Kara."
"Sure. Don't worry about us," said Jeri. "We can take care of ourselves."
"That's good to know."
"Are you really going out there, again?"
"I must…"
"Your injuries though…"
"Don't worry. I've been through much worse. Remember the D-Reaper?"
"Yes and you saved my life from it."
"Now allow to the chance to protect you again. Leomon will be out there with me."
Jeri takes the Alterian's hands and soothes them.
"Be careful and good luck, Pikkan."
"I will, Jeri. As soon as we get done, we'll get together."
"I'll be waiting…"
The Alterian warrior takes off into the battlefield to help Cyberleomon to his feet. They turned to find Metalla X going all out on Super Artificial Jax.
Jax swings a fist, which connected with Metalla X's face. The force of his punch sends Metalla X skidding across the battlefield and through a rock boulder.
"Matt!" War Angemon calls out.
However, Metalla X made a quick recovery and flies out from under the rubble. He takes off after the artificial. Jax started executing cartwheels across the battlefield to prove his agility. The artificial throws out a punch, but only managed to hit air as Metalla X quickly phased out. Metalla X catches Jax off guard and goes for a spinning kick. Much to his chagrin, the super artificial phased out from sight.
"What the hell?! I had you!"
Jax reappears behind Metalla X and delivers a deadly chop across his face. The warrior is once again sent skidding across the dirt. Jax takes aim and fires away a barrage of blasts that manage to knock Metalla X away. The result of the attack resulted in Metalla X losing his ki aura.
"Brother!!" War Angemon calls out.
War Angemon takes off into the battlefield and goes over to check upon his brother. Meanwhile, Mystic Celesta looks over to find that Tike and Kara are out of harm's reach.
"Thank goodness you two are still there. Please watch them carefully, Jeri."
Back on the battlefield, Super Artificial Jax picks Metalla X by his left arm and proceeds to pound him away like a punching bag. The warrior took each blow across his chest and face. The blows were not only rapid but also painful to watch. War Angemon attempts to stop Jax, but the artificial leaps overhead and shoots down the angelic warrior with an energy beam. War Angemon was struck down but he struggled to stand up on his feet. Jax flies down to deliver a kick, which knocks him down flat on his back.
The masterminds were very much enjoying themselves while watching Metalla X getting pounded to death by the artificial.
"Hoo! Who would have thought that this seasoned warrior would fight like such an amateur?" Dr. Myuumon wondered. "It's downright embarrassing to watch."
Jax tosses Metalla X aside next to the fallen War Angemon. The artificial prepares to launch a finishing blow to the brothers.
"Now! It's time to put an end to this game for good, my vile creation," Datamon said. "Finish him off now."
Giving into the machine's orders, Super Artificial Jax puts his hand out in front of him and quickly forms an energy orb.
Metalla X struggles to move his body but he felt nearly paralyzed from the artificial's deadly blows. Even War Angemon was feeling the effects.
"Ugh, my body feels like it's been paralyzed… Damn, what's wrong with me? Surely, I can take more than this…"
"Brother… Don't think like that," War Angemon muttered. "Don't give up…"
"Now. Now. Don't criticize yourself like that, Yamato. Takeru has a good point," Dr. Myuumon said. "You tried your best and that's what's important."
The artificial's energy orb grows larger as the seconds passed by. Just then, Mystic Celesta used this precious time to phase away and sneak up behind Datamon. She flies out at Datamon and delivers a kick across his face. The small android is sent flying back until he was caught into the clutches of Susanoomon.
"Ugh! What's the meaning of this?! Unhand me you brute!"
"Call back Super Artificial Jax, Datamon!" Mystic Celesta threatened the android. "Call him back or else Susanoomon crushes you!"
"What the hell for?! I have no plans to call abck on my artificial! I haven't come this far from extracting my revenge on you humans!"
"Do it or become crushed like a can!"
Susanoomon nods his head and raises his other fist. The tiny android panicked and started sweating bullet.
"Ok! Ok! I'll do it! Super Artificial Jax! I order you to stop your attack on those two right now! That's an order!"
However, much to his dismay, the artificial turns around and positions his attack onto Datamon. The tiny android shrieked in fear as his own creation had set his attack on him. Datamon was once again betrayed by his creation.
"Don't you dare do it, Jax! I am your creator!"
This caused Dr. Myuumon to cackle like a madman while facing with his now-former partner in crime.
"Ha! You actually thought you were in control?"
"What?!"
"Are you really that ignorant, Datamon? I reprogrammed Hell Fighter to only obey orders from myself. I'm sure you would have noticed, but you're too stupid for that."
"So… So you've been against me this whole time?! Myuumon, you dirty traitor!!"
"Hardly. Your ambition to control the human's planet is inadequate at best. As long as this Super Artificial Jax is around, conquering the entire galaxies in both worlds is not a dream. It shall be a reality! Jax can no longer be considered a simple artificial human being with extraordinary powers. He's been reborn by my hand as the ultimate machine mutant!"
Datamon looks on with a slight sadness across his face. The artificial maintained his energy orb directly at his former creator. The android looks ahead and looks back at past images of Artificial Jax, including the day of his creation.
"So, you're going to betray me again, my precious Jax?"
"Crap! He's about to shoot that at us! Hikari! Let's move!" Susanoomon exclaimed.
"You said it!"
"No!! NOT LIKE THIS!! DAMN YOU!!"
With that said, the warrior pair moved aside as Artificial Jax fired the energy beam directly towards Datamon. The android lets out a horrifying scream as the blast hit him head on and destroyed his body.
Susanoomon and Mystic Celesta land outside of the crater to witness the destruction of Datamon take place. The artificial merely nodded his head in disappointment.
"You Earthlings alike are nothing more than small fries. Datamon's demise is just a small dosage of what I'm about to do to you."
Jax turns his attention back over the fallen brothers.
"Let's clear out the rest of this planet's best, even though they are quite fragile at best. I'll start with these two pathetic louses before they have a chance to embarrass themselves again."
"Oh no! TK! Matt!" Mystic Celesta cried out.
"Dad! Uncle Matt!" the children screamed.
"Yes, Super Artificial Jax. That's the way. With Taichi and Takato out of sight, we have nothing to worry about. You may proceed as planned."
However, the name of the Digi-Destined leader caused Metalla X to regain consciousness. He growled deeply over the namesake of Taichi Kamiya. He sits up angrily and clenches his fists.
"Taichi?! Did you just say Taichi?! You will mention that name again when I'm around!"
The warrior of friendship's aura exploded around him once again and he leveled up back to this second level stage. He faced off with the super artificial.
"I'm the leader and sole protector of earth! Takato is nothing more than an inexperienced, teenage rookie! Taichi is only a clown who knows his own stomach and his own stupidity! I'm here to finish the job and I intend to do it!"
"Ugh. You humans with your blabbering," Dr. Myuumon said. "I don't understand how you can so prideful, Yamato. You're the perfect reason why humans should die. Look at you. You've aged since your glory days. The limitations of your flesh are no match for our kind. It truly disgusts me how you say you can protect this planet on your own. Your human race is of no use and you've lost the pride you've once stood for."
"You're wrong, Dr. Myuumon! I will prove you wrong! We, humans, do deserve to exist! I may not be what I used to be, but I've grown to accept those around me! Taichi maybe an idiot, but he is my friend! Now feel my rage!"
As soon as he said that, Metalla X phases out from sight and goes to deliver a spinning heel kick against the super artificial. Jax ducks under and kicks Metalla X across the face. The warrior is sent skidding across against the ground. Jax prepares to deliver the finishing blow to the fallen Metalla X.
"Now! Finish him, Jax! Prove why we artificial beings are superior to the human race!"
"Matt! Move out of the way!" everyone called out.
Just as Pikkan and Cyberleomon made their move, Gallantmon came flying out of nowhere and knocks the super artificial's attack away with his swords. Omega X teleports onto the battlefield picks Metalla X up and flies him over to Mystic Celesta.
"Tai! You're back!" Mystic Celesta said happily.
"Yeah. Sorry we're late guys. We've had ourselves some trouble in limbo. Here, can you take Matt?"
"Sure."
"Good. It's a good thing we came here in time. Takato! Make room for me!"
"Right!"
"Hey, Tai. What makes you think you can take this creep on?" Susanoomon asked.
"I won't know until I fight him. It's only worth a shot."
"But- But how?! How did he get here?! Those two were supposed to be trapped!" Dr. Myuumon wondered.
"Sorry doc, but we're here to clean up the mess you and that android have caused," Gallantmon said. "Tai! What do we say we tag team him?"
"Not yet! Leave this one to me."
Omega X levitates down onto the battlefield and walks over to where Gallantmon stood. He pats a hand on the crimson knight's shoulder.
"You go and take care of Rika. She and Henry may need some help to recover. Tend to their wounds and then follow me out."
"Sounds like a plan. I'm on it!"
Gallantmon heads off to where his two Tamer allies had fallen. The golden-clad female warrior looks up at Gallantmon and smiled.
"Ta-Takato?"
"It's me, guys. Don't worry. Tai will take care of everything from here."
"That's good to know," Mega Gargomon said.
"Remember, we're here when you need us, Tai!" Mystic Celesta said.
"Whoa… it's him again. Man, I'd like to go one on one with him one day," Beelzebumon said under his breath.
"This ought to be interesting," Pikkan sstated. "We'll see if a level four can take on this ultiamte artificial."
"If anyone can, my brother can!"
"Tai?" Metalla X said as he looked out onto the battlefield. "Damn you… You just had to save me, huh? I'll get you back for this…"
Metalla X falls to his knees while catching his breath.
"Where TK?"
"Don't worry about him. Takato is already taking him away from the battlefield. Now Tai can fight at his absolute best," said Cyberleomon.
"Good…"
"Do you think he knows about Ken and Sonja's deaths?" Jeri said.
"It's best we don't tell him just yet," said Pikkan.
"Too late for that, Pikkan," Omega X said in thought. "I sensed his and Sonja's lives being drained away when I was in limbo. Don't worry, guys. I'll avenge their deaths. I promise you that."
Dr. Myuumon takes a look at his adversary and was shocked at the new appearance of Omega X. He was currently at his fourth level form.
"Um, don't mind me if I ask this? But, how did you change? You don't look the same from the last time I saw you."
"This is my fourth level stage, Myuumon. Using this form, I defeated your precious Bebimon. Practically, you can refer to me as a godly being."
"Godly? Pfft. Don't make me laugh! If anything, we artificial beings will become your new gods!"
"Want a bet?"
"Nonsense! Super Artificial Jax is more than capable of sending you back to where you came from!"
"Ha! Thanks, but no thanks, Myuumon. I spent more than enough time in digital limbo! It's something I don't want to experience again!"
"Quit your babbling! My specimen will make short work of you, Taichi! Your pathetic friends were all beaten, including Susanoomon!"
"Maybe so. But I wouldn't be so confidant, Myuumon! You failed with Bebimon and you'll fail again!"
With that said, Omega X powers up with a bright, red aura of internal rage. He prepares myself to take on Super Artificial Jax and will attempt to put another one of Dr. Myuumon's sinister projects to rest once again.
"You can do it, Tai! We believe in you," Gallantmon said. "But we won't just stand here to let you hog the glory. We're here when you need us."
Omega X takes off towards Jax and the two superpowers collided to cause a chain reaction that causes the area to explode under their power.
Deep within Shinjuku
Saber Veemon found himself scaling the skylines in search of his wife and his friends. There were no traces of them. What worried him the most was the path of destruction left in the wake of the invasion.
"This is terrible. I'm just glad the problems have already been taken care of," Saber Veemon.
"Davis. I'm picking a dying energy signal from across the city. It's coming from a human life form."
"Is that right, Dorothy? Who is it?"
"From what I can make out. It's that friend of yours. His name is I do believe Ichijouji."
"Ken?! Oh no! We're heading out!"
With that said, Saber Veemon takes off into the far distance. The mention of Ken had caused a painful heartache on the young man. He and Ken had been best friends since Davis had pulled Ken from out of the dark side. He helped Ken to abandon his old Kaiser routine to join the Digi-Destined in the first place. With the news of Ken possibly dying, he rushed out like never before. His once goofy smile had now taken a more serious emotion.
He stops to find Yolei, David and everyone else gathering around Ken's corpse.
"Look! It's dad!" David cries out.
"Davis! Over here!" Sam exclaimed.
As soon as he made eye contact with Ken's corpse, Saber Veemon flies down to hurry over towards Ken's body. He kneels over and takes the young man's cold hand. Saber Veemon lets out a horrified gasp.
"Ken?! KEN?! Yolei… I'm sorry…"
"Davis… It was horrible… He was murdered!"
"Yolei. You have to tell me who did this. Who could have done this horrible action?!"
"It was… the artificial…"
"Which one? My wife would never do such a heinous act."
"I think Sonja was done in as well."
"Sonja's been killed?!"
"I don't know…"
"No way! Mom can't die! She just can't!"
"David, please let Yolei speak…"
"Davis… It was Jax… The artificial brother…"
"What, Jax?! Him?!"
"Yes, he was the one who murdered Ken and he could have possibly destroyed his sister too!"
Saber Veemon stopped as he growled deeply with an overwhelming anger overtaking the warrior. Yolei looks up at Saber Veemon and wipes her tears away. She takes his hands and hugs him tightly.
"Oh, Davis… You have to avenge their deaths. That guy needs to be put out of his misery!"
"You don't have to tell me twice, Yolei. Just leave everything to me. It's safe here anyways with the threats gone."
"I think I just saw Joe and Cody here a while ago."
"Good then you guys go with them," Saber Veemon advised the group.
"Ken! Allow us to assist you," Wormmon said. "I need to avenge Ken, too! He was my partner after all."
"Sorry, but without Ken, you can't digivolve. You'll only be wasting your life away. I'm sorry, Wormmon."
"How about myself?" Hawkmon suggested.
"Sorry, but I have to do this on my own," Saber Veemon said. "Yolei. Take Ken's body somewhere safe. Take care of him. He's our friend."
"Where are you going?"
"To find Sonja and to kill that bastard."
"But, Davis…"
"Stay back, Yolei. Just stay here and take care of everyone, including my son. Please, that's all I ask for."
"Ok…"
"Don't fret. I'll be back. Dry those tears away and be tough. I'll see you around, everyone. David, be good. Time for daddy to take care of business."
Saber Veemon flies off from the area and disappears further into the distance. He leaves everyone behind to relocate into another safe location. Yolei walks over to Ken's corpse and picks him up. Her eyes no longer shed any tears as Davis had requested.
"Don't worry, Davis. I will be tough. Ken would want us to remain strong. I'll be strong for him. Kid. We'll be heading out north. David. Show me where you last saw Cody and Joe."
"Sure. Just follow along with me, okay?"
Azulongmon's Domain
With Azulongmon gone to attend to some important matters dealing with the urgent situation in limbo, another one of the digital cores started cracking. This was not the first core to crack and it didn't seem natural for them to be in this condition. Was this merely an ominous foreshadowing of what's to come soon?
Shinjuku District
Saber Veemon was flying out from the city in order to find the whereabouts of Jax. He was not only planning to destroy the artificial but to avenge the loss of his loved ones. He immediately stopped as he came across a person emerging out from the rubble. He looked down and recognized the woman's raven hair. He then got a glimpse of her angelic face and flies down over to the woman.
"Sonja!!"
She looks up at Saber Veemon and slightly grinned. There was barely any life within her as she took a heavy blow from her brother's attack.
"Davis…"
"Babe. You're a damn mess… So, is it true? Did Jax do this to you?"
The female bio-android nods in reply to Saber Veemon's question. He then noticed some tears pouring over her eyes. This was the first time he had ever seen his wife shed any tears. The once cold woman was showing a display of emotion like a normal human being.
"I knew you had a heart, Sonja. It was just a matter of time. You can feel pain and sadness."
"Please… Stop him… Stop my brother… Stop him from hurting anyone else…"
"I intend to. At least you're alive, but Ken is gone," he said with sadness in his voice. "I know we can use the digital cores to bring him back, but… This is Ken we're talking about. He's the last person I'd know that would ever die… It hurts…"
"I know… As of today, I've lost… a brother. That monster is no longer… my brother… Stop him… If you must… Kill him… You have my permission…"
"Sonja?"
"Do it… for all of us…"
With that said, Sonja lets out a deep sigh and undergoes another comatose state. Saber Veemon picks her up and sets her down onto a bench. He plants a kiss on her forehead and chants in prayer.
"I will stop him, Sonja. This madness will stop."
Saber Veemon has vowed to avenge his loved ones and prepares to set off to stop Super Artificial Jax. But will even his powers be enough? Meanwhile, Tai now stands as the prime contender against Super Artificial Jax! Can he stop a stop to this madness, or does Dr. Myuumon have more tricks up his sleeve? And who is hatching up the sinister plot down in digital limbo? What are the motives of Cyberdramon/Millenniumon?

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Kanius: Just two chapters left to go on this short saga. Now, I'll be working away on the 23rd chapter to my Pharaohmon series. I know it's been long and I promise to have that out this week! I also hope to wrap up on this short saga. Then, with school starting next week, I'll have the Pharaohmon tournament and Millenniumon Saga to worry about. Hopefully I don't have much work this semester. Hope you enjoyed the chapter, because the next saga will involve plenty of deaths. I advise the weak of heart to suck it up. Until then, peace!
