Yo, all! I hope everyone enjoyed their Fourth of July. I didn't do much except go see a friend perform with his local at a club. Fun time and a bad ass show. :D Sorry for holding up this story for you guys but I've been working hard catching up with my Pharaohmon series.
I've been watching uncut DBZ on Cartoon Network lately and so far… They've been living on their word with the uncut goodness. Piccolo's beam shooting through both Radditz and Goku with BLOOD galore! Let's hope they can re-run the rest of the series in its true form.
I will now focus on this story and hopefully finish it up soon. I see some readers have become familiar with Mutalior and my original story, but this version will be different. ;) Better fights scenes and a little more plot to it. The mysterious assassin will be revealed in this act! Anyway, that's enough out of me. Let's get on with Act Two! Enjoy!

Taichi Kamiya's Reunion with the Chosen Children! Mutalior's Dark Hand Arrives!
…
Odaiba Notama Apartment Complex/Kamiya Residence/3:45 P.M.
…
Upon arriving at the Kamiya Apartment residence, young Takeru "TK" Takaishi and Sora Takenouchi walked inside with their backpacks filled with their essentials. TK was dropped off by his mother while Sora rode her bicycle to the apartments. She and TK were delighted to see Kari again yet were excited to finally reunite with Tai after nearly eight months. For Sora, this is her chance to reunite with her dear friend.
"Oh, boy! I cannot wait to see, Tai! I'll bet Agumon's gotten stronger since the last time we saw him," TK ecstatically said. "I'll bet Tai's hair grew bigger!"
"Azulongmon probably couldn't provide him any time to get a haircut," Kari shrugged. "I don't know. It's probably a bush by now."
"Yeah, that I can imagine," Sora giggled at the thought of Tai's hair being a nest site for a flock of birds. "Ha! That would be a sight I wouldn't stop laughing at!"
"So, what's Izzy doing?" Patamon flew over to the office room to notice Izzy hooking up a line to Mr. Kamiya's computer using his Internet line.
"He's going to hook his line into Kari's dad's computer to connect the Internet into his laptop," Gatomon shrugged. "Or at least that's what he told me. Sometimes that kid confuses me with all that techno talk."
"I'll bet. It makes my head hurt," Biyomon head her head.
"Be nice, guys. At least, he's helping us gain access to the Internet through his laptop. That's where he'll ask Gennai to open up a digital portal to the Digital World," Sora stated.
"Yeah, give Izzy more credit guys," Kari nodded in agreement. "At least with his help, we're able to get back to the Digital World to see my brother again."
"I've got to wonder how intense Tai's fight with Burizalor was," TK wondered. "I'd like to know how he actually finished that creep off."
Upon hearing the tyrant's name, Sora sat frozen and immediately visualized horrifying flashbacks of herself getting killed by Burizalor's beam. It was that one beam heard around the Digital Universe. Her life had abruptly ended before being revived by the Digicores. It was also thanks to her untimely death that led to Tai and Agumon merging together into the legendary fused warrior: Omega X. The legend of the digital warrior was fulfilled after thousands of Digi-Millennia. In the end, the warrior brought an end to the icy tyrant's region of terror.
Biyomon turned around and noticed a bit of fear across Sora's face and tilted her head to the side. The redhead quickly came back to reality and shook those nightmarish memories out of her head. She looked down at Biyomon and picked her up.
"Sora? Is something the matter?" the pink bird digimon asked in worry.
"Oh, no. I was just thinking. Guess I'm a little nervous to see Tai again. I wonder if he knows how much longer he'll have to stay with Azulongmon," Sora said.
"It really depends on Azulongmon, Sora. There's nothing we can do to interrupt their training. It's strictly forbidden," Biyomon replied. "This is why Azulongmon is granting both Tai and Agumon permission to come see us."
"Yeah, so let's make this visit count," TK jumped off the sofa chair. "Right, Patamon?"
"Right, TK! Hopefully, your brother and Gabumon will meet us there."
"Knowing them, they will come. Besides, my brother has been waiting for Tai to come back," the little boy replied. "Hear that, Kari? What if our brothers end up getting into another quarrel?"
"Then, we're just going to have to pull them apart. This day is supposed to be special and I for one don't want this to be ruined," Kari stated.
"I'll have to agree, Kari!" Tentomon buzzed in through the room. "Good news, everyone! Izzy has managed get the line connected and a doorway leading to the Digital World should be open anytime now!"
"That's great news, Tentomon!" Kari jumped to her feet.
"Yeah, let's go and get ready everyone. We don't want to be late now, do we?" Sora gathered everyone in the living room. "Getting excited, Kari?"
"Of course! I haven't seen my brother in eight months! This will be the perfect time to ask him about his battle with Burizalor and the training. I'm really looking forward to hearing a long story from him."
"You'll get your chance, Kari," TK nodded in agreement. "I'll be he has a lot to tell us."
"I wonder how much taller you've gotten over the last eight months. I'll bet your hair is fluffy as cotton candy by now, but I've got to wonder. Has turning into the fused warrior changed the way you are? Are you any different or are you the same Tai?" Sora thought. "I remember hearing TK how you became filled with rage when you avenged my death. I would really like to talk to you about that. But, all that matters is that you are back. Let's make this visit worthwhile because there's something I've wanted to give you."
"Hey, guys! I'm ready to get us transported to the Digital World! Gennai has asked for Azulongmon's permission to open up a digital portal right near where Tai is located!" Izzy announced as he stepped out of the computer room. "If we hurry, then we just might catch up to him!"
Nodding their heads in reply, the children quickly rushed past Izzy and went into the computer room. Izzy managed to hold his balance after nearly being stampeded over by the children. He ran over with Tentomon by his side and kneeled over towards Mr. Kamiya's computer screen. He pointed his digivice directly in front of it.
"What we will need to do is put our digivices in front of Kari's dad's computer and a portal will immediately pull us through into the Digital World," Izzy informed the group while picking up his laptop.
"That's all we have to do?" Sora asked as she held out her digivice.
"That's all as long as Gennai and Azulongmon open up a digital portal, but this could be our only time to use it."
"No way am I going to wait any longer. My brother is waiting for us!" Kari jumped out in front of everyone and pointed her digivice towards the screen.
As the children held their digivices towards the screen, a bright flash of light came beaming across the room. The darkened office was revealed by the purifying white light. The four Digi-Destined and their digimon felt themselves being sucked right through the screen. In a matter of moments, everyone disappeared from the room and was now being transported directly to the Digital World. They would soon be reunited with their official leader. For Kari, it was her reunion with her older brother.
However, there was another group of individuals who were not going to welcome the Digi-Destined of Courage back in the Digital World. That villain would now receive a report from his spy robot and become aware of Tai's arrival. The reunion would unfortunately be cut short.
Somewhere within the Eastern Digi-Galactic Territory/Planet Moouyt/Digital World Time: 3:47 P.M.
Meanwhile, off from the main Digital World, there was a large red-orange planet displayed across the distance. This was the Planet Moouyt, formerly inhabited by an extinct race known as Koogterites. It was just recently that their planet was completely purged by an elite team representing the Buriza Empire. The people stood no chance and were defeated. The perpetrators were three elite soldiers, an assassin and a powerful warlord. Some claim it was Burizalor, but that couldn't be possible. The tyrant has been gone for the last eight months. Many claim he had died but others were firmly under the belief that he has gone missing.
No, it wasn't Burizalor who led this campaign to destroy and capture Planet Moouyt. It was the alleged father of the deceased emperor.
…
The planet itself was barren and it did not seem suitable for any life forms to inhabit it. The ground was rocky, dull and dusty. Strong winds blew across to push a large collection of dust across. There were several collapsed buildings and fortresses in the background. It appeared that a great war was waged, which was won by the invaders. The people of Moouyt stood no chance. Nothing left but a cryptic lost civilization.
Standing away from the collapsed metropolis was a large, oval-shaped spaceship standing on four stilts. It belonged to the invaders without a doubt. Several shadowy figures were seen standing across from the ship. Five to be exact. There stood three soldiers, a cloaked figure and a bald, lizard-like monster sitting on the abandoned throne of the defeated king. This was Mutalior, the father of Burizalor. He appeared to be quite satisfied for sitting on the former king's throne and envisioned himself to one day become the Digital World's most feared super power. But first he would set about to avenge his son's death.
Before he could become accustomed with the conquered planet, the spy robot who had collected video evidence of Tai's arrival teleported back. It had displayed a hologram image of Tai and Agumon in the Digital World. Mutalior caught glimpse of the hologram being projected by his trusted spy robot. His smirk crossed into a frown once he saw Taichi for the first time. This was the boy responsible for merging with the Agumon to become Omega X and defeat Burizalor decisively.
"So, you mean to tell me that the human and the digimon who merged to become the legendary warrior have finally arrived in the Digital World? The same one who had slain my son?" Mutalior asked the spy robot.
"…Yes, sire! The data matches perfectly! He was last seen about half an hour ago!" the robotic bat clicked as it spoke. "The reports had stated that the boy wears a pair of goggles and has an Agumon for a partner."
"Then, he has to be the one. At last, I finally can step in and eliminate these pieces of vermin," Mutalior calmly spoke.
"Ah, without a doubt, my lord! He and the Agumon certainly do fit the description if I do say so myself!" Black Rapid nodded in agreement.
"Not only that but I hear his comrades, the other Chosen Children, will be arriving to meet him soon," replied Blue Mera. "Looks like these little punks are planning some kind of reunion."
"Oh! We'll give them a reunion surprise they'll never forget," Skull Scorpio snickered. "These fools won't know what hit them! Right, my lord?"
However, Mutalior remained silent and closed his eyes. He did hate the fact that a Digi-Destined helped make a prophecy come true but he was angry over the fact that his son had let his own arrogance be his undoing. He knew the day would come when his son would pay for his crimes, but he never expected that a Digi-Destined would have accomplished that task.
"Burizalor… You arrogant fool…"
Sitting up from his throne, the tyrant looked across the landscape and was anxious for the opportunity to get his hands on the one who defeated this son. The images of Tai and Agumon were enough to boil his blood. However, he maintained a calm composure despite showing fury.
"Beaten by a combination of a digimon and a human? My own son was killed by a fusion warrior? Well, if that's the case, then we must return to the Digital World. Now that my spy robot has pinpointed their location, we'll track them easily. With Burizalor gone, it is my time to reclaim my position as emperor of the Digital Universe. I will confront this 'Omega X' and crush him under my might. No one disgraces my family and gets away with it."
Mutalior turns around to face both Black Rapid and the cloaked assassin. They bowed their heads simultaneously to the warlord.
"Black Rapid. Set a course for the Digital World. It's time for me to show this good for nothing vermin never to tarnish the good name of the Buriza Empire! I shall see it that the human and his friends are dead!"
Angrily lashing his tail across, the warlord crushed the throne behind him with the weight of his lizard tail. The cloaked assassin kneeled before Mutalior and spoke in a low tone.
"Sire, grant me the opportunity to battle the human and his digimon partner. I'd like to exploit my skills and determine whether he presents any form of challenge to you," the cloaked assassin spoke.
"Very well. Since you have proved to be a loyal asset for my son, I shall grant you the opportunity. However, their deaths will come only by my hand and no one else's," Mutalior replied.
"Thank you, my lord. I will not let you down."
"Seeing how easily you dispatched these weaklings of this planet, this human and his partner should be no trouble as long as they don't merge," Mutalior turned around to face his soldier trio. "Get ready, men! Next stop, the Digital World of the East… Azulongmon's domain."
Digital World/Primary Sector 197-43
Lying on the ground at the center of a forest, there was a small television that appeared to have a static picture. Suddenly, a bright beam of light came shooting out across the forest and spat out the entire Digi-Destined group who had just left the real world. They were piled up on top of one another. Kari and Gatomon were at the bottom with everyone else lying on top of her.
"Ack! Would you guys mind getting off me?" Kari gasped out as she struggled under their weight.
"Ditto! Can't breath!" Gatomon managed to coke out.
"Sorry!" the group cried out in unison.
They jumped out of the pile and dusted themselves off. Suddenly, the digimon turn towards the other direction and sense an approaching energy signal. The children took notice of this and stare off ahead to find two figures rushing over towards them.
"Hey, look!" Tk pointed across. "Could it be them…? I see a kid and a… AH! IT'S THEM! TAI! AGUMON!"
Upon hearing these names, Kari and the others cried out while waving their hands to gain the attention of the 'boy'. Tai and Agumon looked ahead to find what appeared to be their friends. A smile crossed his face once he caught glimpses of Sora, TK, Izzy and his own sister, Kari.
"Oh my gosh! It's them! Guys!" Tai called out to his friends. "I'm so glad to see ya'll!"
"We didn't think you'd show up!" Agumon shouted.
"Tai! Agumon!" Kari shouted out as she came running up towards the duo.
Upon seeing his sister, he held his arms out and caught his sister. Kari wrapped her arms around her brother tightly and buried her face into his right shoulder. The siblings exchanged an embrace while the others approached them. Kari gets off and hugged Agumon.
"I'm just happy to know that you and Agumon are all right!" Kari smiled while wiping away her tears.
"It's ok, Kari. I'm fine, but I'm really glad that you managed to go through without me," Tai put a hand over his sister's head. "I could have gone back but the guardians insisted that I stay with them."
Tai turned over towards Izzy and approached him. Izzy stood in silence until Tai held out a hand. The computer whiz knew exactly what the goggle head wanted. They exchanged each other a high five.
"Welcome back, Tai," Izzy smiled.
"At least for a short twenty-four hours," Tai reminded the computer whiz. "
"But it should be a memorable twenty-four hours. We know that you're doing fine. You and Agumon must have full experience in digital fusion by now," Izzy stated. "It must be hard for you two."
"Oh yeah. We've found a way to keep my ki under control," Agumon replied. "Since then, I've now been able to warp digivolve without the use of Tai's crest and digivice through some of my own training. Plus the food they served were the essential nutrition we needed to keep going. So I had no doubt that this training would pay off."
"Tai…"
The young boy looked over to the girl who he always considered his best friend and his very closest friend, Sora. They have been friends even long before they were on the local soccer team. As a team, they were always inseparable.
"Hey there, Sora. You're still looking good as ever," Tai said.
"You haven't changed a bit, stupid Tai," Sora smiled. "I'll bet you're still as reckless as ever. Have you given Azulongmon a hard time?
"Um, no mother," Tai teased his friend.
"I might as well be your mommy if you continue to act rashly," Sora giggled once she embraced him tightly. "I'm so glad we're back together!"
"I missed you, too, Sora," Tai returned a hug to his friend. "I really do. I'm so glad you came along. You're one of the first people I've wanted to see for a long time."
After embracing one another, they looked directly into one other, specifically towards each other's eyes.
"Oh, Tai…"
"We're so glad to see you again, Tai and Agumon," Biyomon stated.
"You, too, old friend," Agumon nodded.
"Yo, Tai! Over here!" TK waved out from the distance.
Already noticing TK, Tai asked Sora to wait for a moment. He walked off past her and approached the young boy. Patamon happily flew around Tai.
"TK! Hey little dude! What have you been up to?" Tai kneeled over to shake the boy's hand.
"Great! You're still as cool as ever!" TK smiled. "I'm looking forward to your story! You have to tell me everything about your fight with Burizalor!"
"Sure thing. I'll tell you everything you need to know a little later."
"Oh, cool! I'm looking forward to it!" TK excitedly jumped up.
"So where are Matt and Gabumon? I thought they would be here. Plus I don't see Mimi, Palmon, Joe and Gomamon."
"My brother hasn't received my message and I haven't heard from him. Honestly, he'd be really anxious to see you again, but I don't know what's the deal," TK answered. "Knowing him, he should be here at any time."
"And Mimi is vacationing in Hawaii," said Sora, "But she promises to be here shortly."
"Oh, yeah. I did receive a postcard from her," Kari nodded.
"I got done talking to Joe and he's got a summer test to take," Izzy replied.
"Great, I could really use a Hawaii vacation. I need that tan! And I still can't believe Joe is still taking summer tests!" Tai remarked "I would never even get close to books and pencils around summertime! It just isn't healthy! Let's hope they get here soon because I only have a day to spend time with you, guys."
"Same old, Tai," Kari sighed. "But the Tai we came to know and love."
"Yep that's right. Same ol' me," Tai grinned sheepishly.
"Hey guys! Why don't we go over towards a lake we found just as we passed by to see you guys," Agumon suggested. "It's right over this way."
"Ok!" the group exclaimed in unison.
"Hold on, Agumon and I will go over there and make sure that there isn't anybody that beat us to having privileges in swimming in the lake. I'm really in the mood for skinny dipping!" Tai laughed excitedly
Agumon and Tai ran over towards the forest in order to search for the lake where they would check to see if anybody was already using it.
"Well now that they're off checking the lake. Why don't we sit around and munch on some snacks I brought?" Kari said as she dropped her backpack to pull out some food essentials.
Suddenly, several shadows came flying by and rapidly flying through the forests nearby with the speed of light. A flock of bird digimon started to fly away in fear. Gatomon was the first to sense some nearby dark ki. Kari took notice of this sudden disturbance.
"Gatomon what's wrong?"
"Shhh! I can sense something along the forest and its energy has a dark presence," the feline answered. "I hope it's not a big deal though."
Kari frowned and looked out towards the forest. Suddenly the same shadows flew by like phantoms and it startled Gatomon. Tentomon, Patamon and Biyomon all sensed the same array of dark energy signals.
"Tentomon?" Izzy asked his partner
"Get back, Izzy," Tentomon answered and flew around in patrol. "This could be trouble."
"Patamon?" TK whispered out.
"You better take cover TK!" ordered Patamon.
"Biyomon? What is it?" Sora asked her bird partner.
"I don't know but I don't like the looks of it," Biymon shuddered nervously. "You better get everyone out of here. We'll take it from here!"
Suddenly, a figure instantly phased behind Tentomon and Izzy. Kari and Gatomon cried out towards them. Kari pointed out across, Izzy turned around and found himself confronted by a rather large, skeleton-like creature. The monster quickly snatched up Izzy before the boy had a chance to blink or utter a width of breath.
"Hey! Put him down!" Tentomon demanded angrily.
The skeleton monster easily swiped away Tentomon with his claws and sent insect digimon into a nearby tree. The rookie smashed through the tree and landed hard on the ground. Izzy struggled under the monster's grasp.
"Let me go! Help! Help!"
"Izzy! Tentomon!" TK screamed out in horror. "Patamon, its time for you to digi… AH!"
Another monster snatched up TK by his foot and swung him around as if he were a rag doll. The creature turned out to be the fiery yet furious Blue Mera. Patamon growled and flew right at Blue Mera. However, the blue fiery warrior punched Patamon right down to the ground.
"You stay down! You little rodent!" Blue Mera roared out.
"Oh no! Patamon!" screamed TK as he watched his tiny partner taking a painful blow.
Sora and Kari looked behind them and saw none other than Black Rapid snatching up their backpacks filled with snacks and their essential belongings. He grabbed several rice balls and stuffs them down his throat in sheer delight.
"Mmm. These rice balls sure are yummy!" Black Rapid talked with his mouth full. "We may detest you earthlings but we sure love your meals. Why not give us more of your rice balls in trade of your friend's lives?"
"Never! Gatomon! I think you know what you should do!" Kari exclaimed as she faced Black Rapid.
"You too, Biyomon!" Sora shouted out for her partner to step up.
"So, this little guy and his rodent Patamon were the ones that fused into Omega X and defeated Burizalor?" asked Skull Scorpio.
"No! You idiot! I doubt that these two runts helped to defeat Burizalor. My scouter reads only a power level of two from the little Patamon," Blue Mera swung Patamon around like a stuffed toy.
"We're going to show you not to mess with the Digi-Destined!" Kari declared. "My brother and War Greymon will take care of you clowns just like he did to Burizalor!"
"Oh and just who is your brother?" asked Black Rapid.
"I am! I'm the one you're looking for!" the voice of a young boy called out from the distance.
The three soldier digimon turned around and peered over towards the one who destroyed Burizalor. Tai and Agumon stared at the trio with angry yet determined glances.
"Tai! Thank goodness you made it!" the girls exclaimed in unison.
"You guys better get out of here! Agumon! I think you know what you should do!" Tai declared as he pulled out his digivice and his chest was glowing the with the symbol of courage appearing. "Time to warp digivolve!"
"Leave these three clowns with me, Tai!" Agumon leaped out onto the battlefield.
(Play Digimon Adventure theme Evolution)
Despite no crest, Tai's chest was emitting a bright orange light and the symbol of courage was fully displayed for all to see. Agumon took enough energy through his partner's digivice and reserved crest power to digivolve straight into his mega form.
"AGUMON! WARP SHINKA!"
With that said Agumon became shrouded by an aura of orange light and immediately started to evolve. He flipped over and underwent through all of his evolutionary stages. First, Greymon; followed by Metal Greymon.
His body quickly grows in a mass energy of light and then his form becomes much more human-like and armor forms over his new body. In Agumon's place stands none other than the powerful mega of courage known as War Greymon.
"War Greymon!"
The scouters of the trio started to fire up and they began to pick up a high energy signal from War Greymon. They gasped at the number level that they calculated through their devices.
"Whoa! This guy is for real! His power level is at about 180,000!" exclaimed Black Rapid as he received the official power level of the mega.
"Not bad for a digimon of his caliber!" Blue Mera nodded in agreement. "So are you sure you two are the guys that killed Burizalor?"
"Oh yeah and you three are about to join him right about now in eternal limbo!" War Greymon threatened the trio coldly.
"Wipe these rejects out, War Greymon!" Tai declared as he pointed towards the trio.
"So you're the one! We'll be prepared to be squashed!" Skull Scorpio exclaimed as he threw down the girls' backpacks.
Blue Mera tossed TK down while Skull Scorpio dropped Izzy down onto the ground. Blue Mera jumped out in front and stepped into a battle stance.
"Yeah! Let me kill the guy who killed Burizalor!" Blue Mera declared.
"Don't worry Blue Mera," Black Rapid reassured the flame man. "We'll each have our turns. Remember we have to be fair amongst each other."
"So who must you guys be?" Tai asked the villain trio.
The trio digimon stepped out into a quick battle pose with Blue Mera standing on two feet and raising his arms up into the air. Black Rapid stood on one foot, raised his left arm up and lifted his right arm into a criss-cross motion. Skull Scorpio stood right above them and made flexing motions with his arms.
"Blue Mera"

"We are Mutalior's Extermination Squad!" the villain trio exclaimed in unison.
"Mutalior? Who…? Ah, who cares who you're affiliated with! Bring it on!" War Greymon challenged the villains.

(Play Metallica's "From Whom the Bell Tolls" plays)
The trio flew together directly towards War Greymon but War Greymon saw them all coming right at him. He flew right through them and started to fight each of them one by one.
"Get them, War Greymon!" Tai cheered on for his partner. "Sora! You and Kari go check on the others!"
"Right!" they both replied in unison.
Sora and Kari ran over towards their fallen comrades while Biyomon and Gatomon went to aid up Tentomon and Patamon.
War Greymon saw Black Rapid flying right at him. The dark cyborg was close to slamming his head into the mighty mega but War Greymon maneuvered to the side. Skull Scorpio came up from behind War Greymon and went to decapitate him with a blow from his claws. War Greymon quickly ducked under. War Greymon then noticed Blue Mera attempting a flying kick. Blue Mera barely nailed him as War Greymon quickly maneuvered to the side and caught his breathe.
"Wow! Not bad," Black Rapid screamed. "Your speed is excellent but let see you dodge our upcoming attacks! Blue Mera! Skull Scorpio! If you two will demonstrate what we're capable of!"
"My pleasure! We shall avenge the great Burizalor! In the name of the great emperor, prepare to die!" Blue Mera exclaimed angrily and threw a pair of fire blasts out of his hands. "Cold Flame!"
Blue Mera condensed his incoming fire blasts into an icy blue flame and directed it right for War Greymon. As soon as the fiery blast struck War Greymon, the mighty mega managed to swipe through the flame with ease with his armored claws. Skull Scorpio appeared right behind War Greymon and was ready to implement a sneak attack him.
"In the name of Burizalor! Take this!" screeched Skull Scorpio.
Skull Scorpio went to take War Greymon's head off with his claws but the mega warrior easily twists to the side and delivered an elbow into the gut of the skeleton monster. The skeleton monster gasped out as the blow slammed hard into his gut. Black Rapid seized the opportunity by powering up and targeting his arm cannons for War Greymon. He pinpointed and locked directly on the warrior with perfect aim.
"Rapid Fire!" Black Rapid roared as he fired an array of incoming missiles out of his arm cannons.
War Greymon managed to see the incoming missiles and pulled out his Brave Shield in order to deflect the missiles. However, they made a direct hit and managed to push back War Greymon. The missiles immediately plummet into the ground below and explode within a matter of moments.
"Whew that was a close one!" War Greymon sighed in relief.
"Attack now!" Black Rapid declared a second attack on the mega.
Skull Scorpio and Blue Mera reappeared right behind War Greymon. They implement yet another attack on the warrior at once. War Greymon jumped up and delivered a back kick to both of them. War Greymon delivered a knee to the gut of Skull Scorpio but the skeleton arachnid seemed unaffected. He snatched and applied a bear hug on War Greymon.
"I got him now! Steer clear, guys!" Black Rapid shouted out as he formed a black triangle and shot it towards the direction of War Greymon. "GOLDEN TRIANGLE!"
The triangular beam came directly for War Greymon and was coming in rather quickly. The other Digi-Destined watched on in horror as the thought of losing their beloved War Greymon would be catastrophic. However, War Greymon was able to deliver an elbow shot to Skull Scorpio to release himself out of the predicament. Then he delivered an uppercut to Blue Mera. The beam came directly for Blue Mera and he gasped out in horror.
"CRAP!"
As soon as the beam came closer, he bent backwards and allowed the beam to shoot itself across above him. He was close to becoming deleted by his own partner's attack. Blue Mera had already tilted his whole body back and watched the beam fly upwards into the heavens. A sigh of relief came across his face. He looked down towards Black Rapid and angrily shouted out directly.
"Hey! Watch it, man! You almost took off my damn head off!" Blue Mera screamed out.
"Whoa! My scouter is telling me that War Greymon's power level has now increased from 180,000 all the way to 220,000! Unbelievable!" Black Rapid informed his fellow soldiers.
"I can't believe you guys still rely on those crappy scouters! I guess Burizalor's goons couldn't afford to build better devices!" Tai shouted directly at the soldier trio. "You can't just always rely on scouters to get accurate power readings! Piedmon and his pals learned the hard way! Wait till I tell War Greymon to power up into his full maximum form!"
"What! Full maximum power?" Skull Scorpio gasped out. "What are you blabbing about? You're bluffing!
"Apparently not," a dark voice answered.
(End theme)
The soldier trio turned around and swiftly levitated back on the ground below. War Greymon followed after them and looked ahead to find a cloaked figure emerge. Tai run up to War Greymon while wondering who this mysterious cloaked individual was.
"Hey, who is this, guy?" Tai wondered. "He doesn't appear to be that much trouble."
"I'm getting a weird ki reading from this guy, Tai. Let's be cautious," War Greymon warned the boy.
"Taichi Kamiya and Agumon, I presume?" the cloaked figure answered.
Upon hearing their names, the duo was shocked to realize how this cloaked figure knew their names. How would someone they have never made contact with know their names? This did not make any sense.
The cloaked figure unveiled his hood and revealed his face. It a draconian face painted with red-black face paint and small spikes protruding around his head. His eyes are yellow with black thin irises. War Greymon stood hid ground and stared directly at the arrival of his creature.
"Taichi Agumon. The two individuals essential in the formation of Omega X. So, you're the one who ended the life of the man I once proudly served. Today, I will make sure you die by my blade!" the dark digimon spoke out.
"Just who are you?" Tai declared.
"Just call me, Sithdramon," the draconian warrior stepped out and revealed a double-edged light saber.
(Sithdramon. Mega-level. Dark Digimon Digimon. Special Attacks: Sith Doppelter Schrägstrich (Sith Double Slash) & Chaos-Drache-Flamme (Chaos Dragon Flame).)
"Um, can I remind you that you've just ripped off Darth Maul of the Sith?" Tai pointed out. "Ok, War Greymon! Take this Star Wars wannabe out!"
"I have to be cautious, Tai. He's hiding some of his power and won't be as easy as these three clowns were."
"All right then. You just watch your back, but don't you lose to this guy!"
"I don't plan to…"
"Ha. That's what you think," Sithdramon calmly replied as he leaped up into mid-air.
Flying up to meet Sithdramon head on, War Greymon prepared his armored claws. They head met head on and bounced off one another. War Greymon pushed his claws forward to slash Sithdramon, which the assassin was able to swiftly dodge. Sithdramon spun his double-edged light saber around and came down to strike War Greymon. War Greymon attempted to protect himself against Sithdramon's assault by dodging the saber slashes. The draconian warrior slashed across with his double-saber and pushed War Greymon back across with an invisible 'force' push. The warrior landed on the ground below and immediately jumped back on his feet to meet Sithdramon head on. Sithdramon levitated down, stepped into a battle stance and kept an eye directly on adversary.
"Whoa! That was a close one, War Greymon!" Tai sighed with relief. "One false move and that thing would have sliced you in half!"
"Luckily, it didn't!" War Greymon said while setting his concentration on Sithdramon.
Just then, the soldier trio and Sithdramon paused for a moment. They looked ahead to find another individual stepping out of darkness of the forest. Tai's eyebrow quirked with concern.
"What's the deal here? Have you guys given up?" Tai asked the villains.
"No, there appears to be someone else here… Behind us!" War Greymon cried out as he picked up on a highly-powered ki signal.
"Oh! Boss! I didn't know you would show up a little earlier!" Blue Mera gasped out.
"We're so glad you would make it, my lord," Black Rapid nodded.
"Oh, you two boys are in trouble in," Skull Scorpio laughed at Tai and War Greymon.
"My lord, I have tested the War Greymon and he is nowhere near your league," Sithdramon bowed to the figure emerging.
Tai turned around and a look of shock came across his face at what he was looking at right before him. It looked as though he was looking directly at a ghost from the past. Yes, his eyes widened and his heart slowed its pace for a minute. The boy felt his mouth dry and his body stiffens in cold fear. War Greymon couldn't believe who he was looking directly at.
It was none other than Mutalior himself, but Tai had no idea of who he is. Tai and War Greymon immediately rushed to the conclusion that Burizalor had risen from the dead to implement his revenge. Mutalior glared directly at both Tai and War Greymon with a malevolent grin.
"Huh! No way in hell! Burizalor! Impossible!" Tai thought as his nightmare had somehow relived.
"But, wait… There's something different about this one. He doesn't look like Burizalor yet does at the same time. His ki is even a little stronger than Burizalor!" War Greymon thought as he examined the villain.
"Ah, we meet at least Taichi and Agumon," Mutalior spoke up while chuckling under his breath.
"How do you… No, you're Burizalor! How did you return to life?" Tai shouted out angrily. "WE KILLED YOU! YOU DIED IN THE DIMENSION!"
"You fool. You believe this is Burizalor. Take a look at his appearance. Does he even look like the tyrant you murdered eight months ago?" asked Sithdramon. "You're speaking directly at his father, Lord Mutalior!"
Upon hearing this stunning revelation, Tai and War Greymon were stunned. Burizalor has a father? So, it appeared that Tai did not truly destroy Burizalor's legacy after all.
"Mutalior? Burizalor's father… Oh god… This can't be…" Tai stuttered. "It can't be…"
"Wrong, Child of Courage. Now you and your friends better prepare yourselves for death!" Mutalior declared as he raised his glowing left fist. "My son's revenge will not go unpunished!"
Finally, Mutalior has revealed himself to Tai and War Greymon. Can they hope to defeat Burizalor's father and his horde of soldiers? Sithdramon has proven to be quite the warrior as he gave War Greymon a challenge. Can the other Digi-Destined arrive in time to save their leader? A war has now been waged in the Digital World…
(PREVIEW)
Max: Hey, all! This is Max and here to tell you guys about the next act! Mutalior sends his men in to dispatch Tai's friends, but War Greymon is there to save them. War Greymon takes a critical blow from Mutalior, but manages to rescue Tai and his friends.
Keke: With our heroes in hiding, Mutalior sends his men to search them out. Mimi manages to find some time out of her vacation to help her friends but Joe is still stuck taking exams. Can the Digi-Destined of Sincerity make it in time to help her comrades? What about Matt? Can he answer the call?
Max: The situation goes dire for the gang. Only the digi-medicine can help cure War Greymon's injuries!
Keke: The next segment to Mutalior's Vengeance is entitled…
Mutalior's Extermination Squad Dispatched! The Digi-Destined Call for Aid!
Max: Don't miss it!
Looks like a really tough predicament for our heroes in the next chapter. However, it appears Mimi will be the first to answer the call to her friends. Can they make it in time?
Sithdramon… Yeah, I decided to use the Darth Maul character and create my own digimon based off this guy. He'll get some action in this story, especially when Metal Garurumon shows up like he did in the original. I told you this story would be different from my original with the addition of Sithdramon and Mimi actually participating (with the others hopefully taking part in the story).
I hope you guys are ready for the next chapter because I hope to go all the way with this one. Until then, be sure to check back for updates. Peace!
