(It's all coming to a head... What shall become of our heroes now?)

"KENSHIN!"

Scott called out once again to his old "friend."

Kenshin turned around slowly, still holding the Black Digitama in his hand. He faced Scott AKA Suguru. "Hmm... If any of the DD were to face me, I KNEW it would be you... It's been a long time Scott, or should I say Suguru?"

Scott/Suguru suddenly smirked. "Heh... I suppose it is... It's time to settle things once and for all, between us..."

"Sorry..." Kenshin said quietly. "I'm afraid I don't exactly have the time to deal with you..."

Slash Angemon began to advance onto the field.

"Oh, but I MUST insist..." Scott/Suguru, said with an almost sinister smile. "After all that's happened..."

Celestialmon advanced onto the field as well.

"You really think you can fight me?" Kenshin scoffed. "I don't think you know who you're fooling with... You'd better back down while you can. I'm only here to carry out my master's plans..."

"Master? Just a year ago you helped the DD and my self fight against Milleniumon..."

"Oh yes... How I remember that day. Who'd have thought that you'd defeat Xeed Milleniumon all by yourself...?"

"THEN, you helped bring Mimi back to life, though in another guise..."

"Yeah, and you've never been happier..."

"So... What's with the change of venue?"

Kenshin kept a neutral face. "Sorry, but I can't tell you the reason... If you want to know so badly...then try and land a hit on Celestialmon or me..." Kenshin brandished his sword, with the Digivice in the handle glowing brightly.

Scott/Suguru and Slash Angemon both narrowed their eyes at their two opponents. It had come down to this, after 1 year, and all this time...

"HA!" Or not...

At the last minute, Kenshin threw the Black Digitama into the air. Suddenly it flashed and halted in mid-air. It rocketed down into the light beam and shot into the center of the light... Once the light beam went black, and a vein-like infection took place within the room, that was a clear sign that the last Digitama had been planted...

As the DD who had stopped to fight were succumbing to loosing battles, their opponents suddenly vanished into the sky... Both human and Digimon alike stared at the places their enemies once stood.

"No... We failed... I failed... The Digitamas have been planted..." Scott/Suguru was in disbelief. "Lucious Myotismon can cross over now... I lost my first home... Now, am I about to lose my second home, along with multiple dimensions?! Damnit... I can't give up... I beat Milleniumon... Why can't I win, this time?" He faced Kenshin. "You! You're the cause of this! What are you waiting for?! Fight me! Maybe there's a way to reverse this!"

Kenshin shook his head. "I had to do this... I shall not fight you. You could never beat me anyway. You can't beat my cohorts either... What you can do now... I'll show you..." Kenshin lifted up his sword. The Digivice in the sword began to flash... Suddenly it released two negative energy balls that shot at Scott/Suguru and Slash Angemon.

PSHOW!

PSHOW!

Slash Angemon suddenly devolved back to Kotemon, and fell to the ground in a dead faint.

Scott/Suguru fell to his knees, his chest suddenly constricting, his head feeling light and his vision blurring. He found it hard either to breathe or think. He glared at Kenshin, as his vision dissipated. He reached out at Kenshin before finally succumbing and falling into a sea of darkness...

Scott floated within an area of nothing but darkness... He floated there in suspended animation, feeling absolutely nothing. He could not focus on anything but darkness, as he opened his eyes, which had a blank stare to them. WHERE AM I...? HOW DID I GET HERE...? His voice seemed to echo out of his head... WHY AREN'T I IN THE FRONTIER DIGITAL WORLD? He merely just stared into nothing, not even being able to move. TAI? SORA? MATT? MIMI? WHERE IS EVERYONE? WHERE IS KOTEMON? AM I ALONE?

SCOTT...

A soft mysterious voice suddenly echoed throughout the area...

Scott suddenly broke out of his trance, his eyes regaining pupils and color. He sat up and floated for a while in the darkness. "Who... Who called me?"

I DID... The voice echoed once more...

Scott turned around to see a shining white light appear before him... He noticed the light begin to take a human shape. He strained his eyes trying to figure out the person that the light was taking a form of... Suddenly the form began to be recognizable. Scott's eyes narrowed at the sight of the person. "KENSHIN!"

YEP... I SEE YOU'RE IN ANOTHER ONE OF YOUR "HEAD TRIPS." AFTER ALL, THIS DARK ZONE IS ACTUALLY YOUR MIND.

Scott continued to glower. "You've got some nerve trying to speak to me in my mind... YOU ACTUALLY THINK I'VE FORGOTTEN WHAT YOU DID JUST A MINUTE AGO?! Thanks to you all dimensions are about to fall..."

NOT QUITE...

"What do you mean not quite?!"

"Lucious Moytismon has yet to grasp the new power fully. Plus, he's not exactly invincible... There's still a chance that he can be defeated." Kenshin suddenly began to speak with a normal voice, as the light haze around him dissipated, making him a solid form.

"Well, why did you help him in the first place?!"

"I'm sorry, but I cannot answer that. It's something I cannot discuss. But you shan't have to fight me now, now that the deed is done. My contract has expired."

"Contract?"

"Yes, my contract with L. Myotismon. I am no longer serving as of now... I joined him, because I needed to perform a great evil, since I performed a great good."

Scott had a perplexed look on his face. "I don't understand..."

Kenshin laughed. "I didn't expect you to. Well, it's not important. Let's just say, that now, although Lucious Myotismon can crossover with immense power. The DD can strike him more easily... OH! I sense it... You're about to awaken back into the living world."

"What?! But there are still things I want to ask you!" Scott noticed the darkness beginning to fade, and be replaced by white light. The vision of Kenshin faded away into the light. "Damn..." Scott suddenly began to see a new, circular spherical form appear, along with the slight sound of moaning. "Oh no... This can't be..." Suddenly the shape began to take an appearance. The sphere was made of familiar bodies and skulls of Digimon, and was dripping with slime. "NO! LEGIONMON!" Scott felt himself freeze on the spot as Legionmon came towards him, bodies pulsating, and suddenly, tentacles began to break through, extending out to Scott, wrapping around his neck and limbs... Suddenly part of the plethora opened up revealing a membrane covered nucleus... It suddenly developed a jagged toothed mouth, and began to draw Scott inside... Scott couldn't move or scream as he came closer to the toothed mouth before him...

"NOOOOOOOOOO!"

He screamed bloody murder at last, and his eyes flew open. He found himself on the rooftop once more... "I... I'm still here..." He turned to his side, and saw a sleeping Kotemon. "Kotemon's here too..."

"I'm here for you as well, Suguru..."

Scott sat up immediately. He saw Tomoe standing in front of him... He felt the "Suguru" part of him take control. "Tomoe, my friend, I failed... Luicous Myotismon is about to crossover."

"I know, but it is not a total loss. We can strike now... We must strike right this moment. Aisha has pinpointed the location of the castle. We shall go there, as the Digital-X once more..."

"The Digidestined? The Tamers? The Frontier Children?"

Tomoe's eyes suddenly narrowed. "They are not necessary for this... If any luck, THEY are the ones who failed to stop Lucious Myotismon... They are not as good as we thought, they have let us down, and they are inefficient... So we have bound the ones that came here in our special field; we shall deal with them later..."

'WHAT?!' The Scott side of Scott's mind thought. 'They can't speak of the DD like that? I thought we were helping one another!'

'Quiet you useless fool...' The Suguru side of Scott berated. "You are worthless; you are not the true self of Scott. I am his true self... I shall take over..."

Scott's eyes suddenly flashed, and he went into his form as Suguru, with brilliant blue eyes, long blond hair in a ponytail, and his Digital-X outfit. He smiled to himself, as his white Digivice flashed.

Kotemon's eye shot open and he leapt to his feet, glowing with white light all over that completely engulfed him... When it did clear, he now stood as Slash Angemon... Slash Angemon floated over to his human partner and helped him to his feet.

Cherubimon then appeared, next to Tomoe, who was also holding his glowing Digivice.

Then, Rei and Dominimon appeared, Rei holding his glowing Digivice too.

Taka and Aya appeared next, holding their glowing Digivices, and Aya draped suggestively over Taka. Seraphimon and Ophanimon were behind them, holding each other by the hand.

Satoshi appeared last, holding his own glowing Digivice, and Marine Angemon was flying above his head.

In the middle of the circle of Digital-X, a Golden Iron Maiden appeared in the middle. It suddenly burst open, revealing Ornithmon, with Aisha on top, dressed in a white princess dress, which flared out a bit in the wind, showing off her slender legs. Her silvery hair flew out all around her angelic face as she seemed to dance like a ballerina in the air. "The time has come... The time is now..." She spoke in a silky voice. "We shall carry out our purpose now, my children... Darkness shall be obliterated..."

"YES!" The Digital X thrust their fists into the air.

"The so called, heroes of the Digital World are nothing compared to us... We shall show all Digital Worlds what true heroes can do. As for the Digidestined...they shall feel our wrath for getting in our way and failing in the mission..."

"LADY AISHA!" They thrust their fists into the air once more as the light grew more intense around them...

Suguru smiled to himself. "Just you wait Kenshin... Lucious Myotismon... You shall all pay dearly... Hahahahahaha..."

(Uh oh... What has just transpired?! Can this really be happening? What will happen to the Digidestined? RR)
