Hi, guys. First off, I want to say thank you all for giving your condolences to Youko, her family and for her cousin, Belletiger. Belle is very appreciative for your prayers. She is now in a much better place. Thank you for everything, Youko.
Well, back to other news, it seems the new season for Fullmetal Alchemist has been pushed back for September 17th. Coincidently, Naruto will be playing its first two episodes in an hour special on Toonami the week before on September 10th. w00t! FMA and Naruto on Saturdays! I'm there! This goes quite nicely with my DBZ Uncut on weeknights. Another show I'm looking forward to is IGPX coming this November. If it's a show produced by the animators of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, then it should be good. Hopefully, because I'm anticipating it.
In other news, the fourth digimon movie will be broadcasted on American television on August 6th. It's entitled: Revenge of Diaboromon. Eh, it's almost the same as the Japanese title. No biggie. It'll be great to hear the voices of the Adventure crew. :D Now, I eagerly anticipate the two Tamers movies and the Frontier movie.
Now if only Toonami would broadcast the rest of the unaired DBZ movies like Brolly the Legendary Super Saiyan, Super Android 13, and Bojack Unbound. They've been dubbed, CN! Show them on Toonami! Better yet, broadcast Batman Beyond: The Return of the Joker, again. That movie kicked ass! Especially after what happened in the most recent Justice League Unlimited episode. I'm sure some of you may have already seen it by now.
Well, that's enough of my ranting. We should get back with the story. I'm glad some of you have taken a liking to my Karin character. Belle even pointed out that she reminded her of her cousin, Youko. I have some plans for Karin in future stories, especially involving certain super-powered teenage girls wearing fuku skirts. :P Sailor... Well you get the idea.I just might have her play the role of interlinking my Mega Crossover series and D-Fusion series. What do you think?
Anyway, let's get on with the story now. Shall we? The action heats up again with time running out for our heroes! Can they prevent a nuclear apocalypse from occurring? Only one way to find out!
Enjoy!

The Race to Stop the Nuclear Disaster! Leomon and Metal Garurumon Return to Combat!
…
Within Primary Forest Region/Cavern/Sector 197-50
…
Upon the starting revelation of Mutalior's plans, the Digi-Destined were fearing the worst to come. It was bad enough that War Greymon was currently incapacitated and them being hunted down, but now the warlord has instructed Sithdramon to spread a deadly computer virus to infect the military's worldwide Missile Defense Network. That would mean the satellite, too, would get infected by the deadly virus. The result of nuclear warheads launched across the planet would lead to an early nuclear apocalypse and the destruction of mankind.
Tai couldn't stand to bear the thought of his family being victims of the possible nuclear disaster. Mutalior has made this personal in his crusade to avenge his son and terminate the Digi-Destined. The goggle head was the ONE that Mutalior was after. He wanted to do battle against the legendary warrior, Omega X. He'll stoop to any low just to get what he wanted.
"Damn it! That bastard has pushed this too far!" Tai cursed as he slammed his fist down. "Doesn't he realize how catastrophic nuclear missiles can be? Never mind the fact that we're talking about countries from across earth that hold those things! Our hometown is no doubt a hot spot target! We can't stop it! We're going to have to fight Mutalior!"
"Actually, Tai, there is a method to prevent this possible nuclear apocalypse from taking place," Izzy informed everyone, including Tai.
"Ok, explain, because we're going to need to know," Sora spoke up with her eyes on the screen.
"Since Sithdramon is the one carrying and transferring the virus, he will have to be defeated if we have any hopes of saving our planet. Only then with Sithdramon deleted, his virus will wear off."
"What about when the virus spreads across?" Tentomon asked. "There's the possibility that the missiles will still launch when their networks have been hijacked."
"No, as long as Sithdramon is killed, then the virus will wear off and that should shut down the missile networks and the missiles themselves."
"For our sake and the planet's sake, I hope you're right," Tai growled. "Damn it! All because of me! That bastard just wants me to show up!"
"And War Greymon is still recuperating," TK reminded the goggle head.
"Joe will be here, won't he?" Kari asked her brother.
"Yeah, that's what Izzy said. Once Joe and Gomamon get here, we'll use it to heal War Greymon's injuries. Mimi. Palmon. You two think you could find those herbs?"
"Sure, thing, Tai. I know everything there is to know about digital plants since I'm one, too," Palmon smiled and started walking out of the cave. "C'mon, Mimi! Are you coming with me?"
"Oh, yeah, I'm coming, Palmon!" Mimi sat up from the ground, dusted herself off and walked out with her digimon partner. "I could be relaxing in my hotel room and taking a nap by now."
"It'll be all over once we get War Greymon's health restored," Palmon said while leading Mimi across the devastated landscape and towards a forest ahead. "Now, we need to be careful since those guys have scouters. You're going to have to keep quiet. Ok, Mimi?"
"You don't have to tell me twice," the strawberry-blonde Digi-Destined snorted. "Have you actually heard about this Mutalior guy?"
"No, this is the first time I've ever heard and I got my first glimpse at him through Izzy's computer screen. He sure looked like one mean, nasty guy."
"No kidding. If he's anything like his heartless son, then we're in big trouble. I can't believe what could happen to our home. My family and everyone won't be able to defend themselves against those missiles."
"I know, but we can't think about that now. We still have time to find the herbs and there's a chance Joe will pop out of the digi-portal we just came out of it," Palmon pointed to the forest. "Just ahead we'll be able to meet with him and Gomamon."
"Hey, now that you mention it, you're right," Mimi nodded in agreement. I never thought of that."
As the two continued on their conversation, they walked into the forest ahead of them to find the herbs Palmon was familiar with to create a medicine for War Greymon. They were hoping that they would eventually meet with Joe and Gomamon. They could arrive at any given moment with their medicine.
Meanwhile, Tai walked back and forth impatiently with his hands covering his face. The pressure was already getting to him. Everything was already occurring too quickly for him to handle. Not only were they being hunted by Mutalior's squadron, but Sithdramon was plotting to spread a virus to infect the earth's worldwide missile defense network. Armageddon couldn't have come at a better time. That's exactly what Tai was thinking now.
"Tai, will you quit walking like that? You're already making me and all of us nervous," Izzy demanded from the goggle head. "Plus, it's not helping TK and Kari any. Have you considered their feelings now?"
Tai did not reply back to his friend's question and continued pacing about. The red-haired tomboy showed concern for her friend and has only seen him this emotionally distraught on rare occasions. She also understood that Tai was still saddened by the loss of his good friend, Karin Osaka.
"Tai… We'll get War Greymon back to health and he'll be ready to take that Mutalior creep," Sora reassured her friend. "C'mon, I haven't seen you like this since Kari was kidnapped by Myotismon. We will pull through out of this and prevent our home from becoming a nuclear wasteland."
"That's just the thing. What if it's too late?" Tai kicked a rock away.
"It… It's not… too late, Tai," War Greymon coughed out as he spoke. "It's… never… too late…"
"War Greymon?" Tai turned to look directly into War Greymon's eyes. "Somehow, I can believe you just by looking at your eyes."
"… We will… save the two worlds… Mutalior will… be stopped. Count… on it…" War Greymon continued on.
"But… No, I have to stop doubting myself now and see through this whole mess," Tai realized what he had been stating. "I'm not a quitter and there's no way I'm going to let Mutalior's scare tactics wear me down psycho locally! That creep is asking for it! Wait until he gets a load of the newly revived War Greymon!"
"Now that's the spirit, Tai," Sora sat up and pat the boy on his back. "We're in this together."
"That's right, Tai! We'll give War Greymon the helping hand against Mutalior's boys," Biyomon stated promptly.
"We survived Burizalor's goons and we'll do it again with Mutalior!" TK agreed. "Right, Patamon?"
"You bet!" the flying digimon squeaked out.
"What do you say, Gatomon?" Kari asked her feline partner.
"I say! Let me at them! I'll make chowder and kitty liter out of them!" Gatomon jumped up and shadow boxed.
"Thanks, guys. I knew you all would stick with me, even during a great crisis like this. I know War Greymon will be looking forward in kicking Mutalior's butt. Right, buddy?" Tai asked his trusty digimon partner.
"I'll… tear that… piece of trash apart just like… we did to this punk son," War Greymon replied back while turning his head. "…Now, all we need to do is wait for Mimi and Palmon to get back with the herbs."
"Plus, let's not forget Joe and Gomamon. They should get here by now with medicine from the real world. With the herbs and the earth medicine, that should hasten War Greymon's recovery and replenish his energy," Izzy informed the team as he kept track of the Digi-Destined of Reliability.
"I hope for you sake, they get here soon. There will be no telling when Mutalior's squad will return here to search for us," Tentomon reminded the computer whiz.
"They'll get here. I just know they will. They will not let us down," Tai stated. "Though Matt has yet to even reply to our messages. Just what the hell are you doing, Matt? We need you! Besides, since I'm here, I'd thought you would jump at the chance of challenging me again. But first things first… Mutalior and his virus carrier are first!"
…
…
Meanwhile, back in the forest, Mimi was sitting down on a rock while fanning herself with her hands. If there was anything that Mimi despised, it was walking long distances and sweating. She had no desire to be sweating like a pig and felt disgusted. Palmon was busy burrowing across the ground and found the necessary herbs and roots needed to mix together to make War Greymon's medicine.
"How long are we going to stay out here, Palmon?" Mimi complained while fanning herself. "It's hot, my feet are already aching and did I mention I hate sweating?"
"It won't take long, Mimi. We'll be out of here in on time."
"Just what kind of herbal medicine are you collecting?" asked the Child of Sincerity.
"These are Lime herbs. They're not only good for spices and exotic drinks, but they make the best form of healing medicine," Palmon replied as she gathered all the herbs she dug out. "There. That should do it."
The plant digimon turned around with a handful of herbs and roots she plucked from right out of the ground. Sighing a breath of relief, Mimi sat up from the rock she sat on and walked beside Palmon. Before they walked past through the forest, they heard a pair of voices calling out from the distance.
"HEY, GUYS! GUYS!" a familiar male's voice called out from the distance.
Mimi was quick to pick up on this familiar voice and looked down to Palmon. Smiles crossed their faces as they realized who had just now arrived. They ran across the forest to find a blue-haired pre-teen with a white-furred marine mammal. The boy was carrying in his right hand a bag of essentials, which were no doubt the medicine for War Greymon. Mimi immediately called out to the boy as she hollered out.
"JOE! JOE!" Mimi cried out to catch the pre-teen's attention.
"Huh? Oh my gosh… Mimi!" Joe turned as he found the girl running towards him and noticed her wearing a bathing suit. "Whoa… Mimi…?"
"Gomamon! Nice to see your cynical self again!" Palmon exclaimed towards the witty digimon.
"Looking good there, Palmon," Gomamon winked while carrying a bag. "I say you're still a shiny gem as always."
"Awww, you think?" Palmon blushed. "Thanks!"
"It's great to see you again, Joe," Mimi threw her arms around Joe.
The pre-teen stood frozen with a blush covering his face. He didn't realize it but Mimi was hugging while still in her bathing suit. He didn't know what to do since this was the first time a girl has ever hugged. Mimi realized what she was doing and backed away.
"Sorry, about that, Joe, but I get happy like that when I see a friend I haven't seen for a while. It is really good to see you again," Mimi giggled.
"Haven't you gotten my letters and packages?" Joe asked her.
"Not sure if I did. Are you sure you got my address right?"
"Um, I'll have to double check…"
"Look, there's no time for that. War Greymon is injured as Izzy probably told you. He's in that cave just ahead of us," Mimi pointed across towards the far distance.
"I know. That's why we're here with the medicine. Ready to get going, Gomamon?"
"Man, I never thought you'd ask. I'm going to get muscle cramps by carrying these bags," Gomamon scoffed while holding a bag. "Next time, I ought to hop on your back while you carry these bags. Just think of the workout you'll receive."
"Um, yeah. If I wanted a workout, I can go and run," Joe sighed. "Speaking of which, we should get to the cave."
"Yeah, because that Mutalior has a legion of his goons out there on patrol. If we're caught, then we're dead meat," Palmon nodded. "Mimi, we should use this time to get back."
"Right, just follow our lead, guys," Mimi said to Joe and Gomamon.
As Mimi ran across the forest, Palmon, Joe and Gomamon were quick to follow her out. However, as soon as they stepped out of the forest, a large boulder had suddenly lost its balance on top of a cliff nearby and came rolling across towards the four. Joe and Mimi cried out in horror as the boulder was heading towards their direction. They would be crushed if they don't do something quickly. This caused both Palmon and Gomamon to spring to action.
"Palmon!"
"Gomamon!"
"Right! We'll take it from here! Let's boogie, Palmon!" Gomamon jumped right into the action.
"I'm right behind you!" Palmon followed in suit as she threw out her fingers into long, strong vines. "POISON IVY!"
"Take it down, MARCHING FISHES!" Gomamon summoned forth an army of multi-colored fish.
The fishes and the vines were thrown across to stop the boulder coming down their path. However, it still wasn't enough to put it away. This forced Tentomon and Biyomon to arrive just in time to aid their digimon friends.
"Hang on! We're coming!" Sora and Izzy called out.
"Spiral Twister!" Biyomon shot out a spiral attack from out of her mouth.
"Super Shocker!" Tentomon exclaimed as he threw out a powerful electric blast.
All four combined attacks generated enough power to incinerate the boulder into dust. Unfortunately, this power also generated enough ki for Mutalior's men to pick up through their scouters. Just their luck, this wasn't what the Digi-Destined needed.
"Yay! We did it!" Palmon and Gomamon cheered happily.
"No! That's not what we needed! They're going to pick that up through their scouters! We have to get back to the cave pronto!" Izzy exclaimed.
"What? Oh no! How could I have forgotten?" Mimi gasped out as she just remembered. "We're in deep trouble!"
"Not unless we get back to the cave. Everyone, let's go!" Sora called out to her friends.
With that said the four children and their digimon partners scurried towards the cavern. It seemed like just a close distance. They saw Tai, Kari, TK and the other digimon waiting outside. Before Sora and the group knew what hit them, Black Rapid, Blue Mera and Skull Scorpio quickly phased in front of them with their scouters beeping.
"OH NO!" Biyomon shouted.
"No! They beat us to it!" Sora gasped out in horror. "I really hoped we would have lost them!"
"These guys look bad!" Mimi started walking back. "You think you can take them, Palmon?"
"No way! Those guys are too strong even if I fight them as Lillymon!" Palmon replied to her partner's question.
"That was a rather dumb move on your parts, kiddies," Black Rapid snickered. "By allowing your digimon to use their attacks, we can track and pinpoint your locations!"
"Finally I can get a warm-up exercise by kicking around these little wimps!" Skull Scorpio flexed his arms. "Let's go! Lord Mutalior is asking for your heads on a silver platter!"
"Damn! Just when we were so close! Everyone have your digimon digivolve quick!" Tai shouted out to the group. "We'll take these guys down!"
"Right!" the Digi-Destined declared in unison.
"Let's do it!" the digimon exclaimed.
(Play Digimon Adventure theme Braveheart)
One by one, the Digi-Destined's digivices, excluding Tai's, started setting off a bright glow and allowed their digimon partners to evolve into their higher-level forms.
"Biyomon SHINKA! Birdramon!"
"Tentomon SHINKA! Kabuterimon!"
"Palmon SHINKA! Togemon!"
"Gomamon SHINKA! Ikkakumon!"
"Patamon SHINKA! Angemon!"
"Gatomon CHOU SHINKA! Angewomon!"
As all six digimon evolved straight into their champion forms, except for Gatomon since she became an ultimate, they faced off against the trio. Judging by the looks on the villains' faces, they were snickering amongst themselves while getting power readings of the digimon through their scouters.
"Hey, boys! Get a look at their readings! So, these are the heroes who helped bring about Lord Burizalor and his mightiest forces to defeat? I highly doubt these pipsqueaks will pose any threats to us," Blue Mera chuckled while cracking his knuckles. "Without that War Greymon, they're dead meat!"
"We'll make this quick for you, kiddies," Black Rapid stepped out in front of his two colleagues. "Blue Mera! Skull Scorpion! Attack formation!"
As soon as Black Rapid gave out his drill, the other two kneeled down and flared up with battle auras. They turned their gaze towards the six digimon ready to attack them. The children managed to scurry off from the battle and watched from the far distance. Tai watched on from the cavern with TK and Kari by his side.
"Go get them, Angemon!" TK called out to his partner.
"You can do it, Angewomon!" Kari shouted with encouragement for her angel partner.

The flying digimon flew off ahead while Ikkakumon and Togemon charged ahead towards their adversaries. Blue Mera and Black Rapid were ready for them. Kabuterimon was the first to throw in a punch but Blue Mera moved to the side and nailed Kabuterimon directly in the gut. Birdramon came flying in out of nowhere and launched numerous fire blasts directly for the icy flamed digimon. But Blue Mera saw the attacks coming beforehand and caught them with his hands.
Angemon flew directly towards Black Rapid and his fists started glowing with intense, holy energy. He pushed his fists out across and sent the holy energy directly for Black Rapid. However, Black Rapid was able to phase away and allow the blast to penetrate through a small Cliffside. The cliff exploded from the impact blow and sent debris across their direction. Angemon growled angrily and attempted to punch Black Rapid head on. Black Rapid ducked under and delivered a head butt directly into Angemon's head.
"Heads up! Coming through!" Black Rapid remarked as he nailed his head against the angel's chin.
"Looks like you really don't need our help, after all, Black Rapid," Skull Scorpio snickered as he was dodging Ikkakumon's attacks.
Togemon went for her Light Speed Jab, yet her blows couldn't even land a mark on Skull Scorpio. The skeletal digimon was countering every punch with his claws. He swiped at both Togemon and Ikkakumon across with his claws.
"Oh please! These champion-leveled weaklings can't even lay one freaking hand on us," Blue Mera laughed out amusedly. "Their powers are pitiful! What makes them stand a chance against Sithdramon or even Lord Mutalior? They can't even hope to through us!"
"You three may laugh at champions but what about an ultimate such as myself?" Angewomon countered as she waited for one of the three to attack her.
"Well I say this chick is a lot tougher than she looks," Skull Scorpio snickered. "I hope she can provide a much better challenge than the two wimps I've just clobbered!"
"Oh please. I bet you that she's all pretty and no punch. C'mon baby, give us your best shot," Black Rapid waved his hands out.
"My pleasure," the angel smiled defiantly.
With that said Angewomon launched herself directly towards the three warriors. Before they had a chance to launch a multiple attack, she phased out and left an after image to pass through them. This managed to catch the trio off guard and unfocused. Reappearing above them, she cupped her hands together and a pink ball of energy formed in her hands. She then pushed her hands outward and waved her hands across to launch a pink wave of energy.
"Heaven's Charm!"
"Oooo! Pretty light!" Blue Mera snickered as he mocked the angel's attack.
"Ha! That's nothing! Check this out, matey! GOLDEN TRIANGLE!" Black Rapid declared his attack.
The dark ultimate formed a black triangular shaped-beam and launched forwards at Angewomon's beam. They collided with one another with Black Rapid's attack easily canceling out the Heaven's Charm.
"Ah! No way! They're too strong!" Kari shouted out.
"How are we supposed to beat these guys? They took out our digimon like they were nothing!" Joe exclaimed.
"I don't like this! And we still have Mutalior to take care of!" Mimi nodded in agreement. "I don't want to die!"
"I'm already getting bad memories of the Demon Corps whooping us back on Spiral Mountain!" TK reminded himself of the past events.
"How could my attack become cancelled out that easily?" Angewomon asked herself. "You shouldn't have dispelled it!"
"You kids are nothing but wimps! Here I was expecting a challenge, but all we've gotten are disappointments!" Skull Scorpio grunted. "Just when is War Greymon going to bring his cowardly ass out here? Are there even any other warriors to stand up and give us a good fight?"
Before long, a voice belonging to a young boy called out from the far distance. TK was quick to recognize this voice and turned out happily.
"Oh, but we can, you pile of bones!" the voice shouted out.
The three dark soldiers all turned around and were surprised at two individuals glaring down upon them with serious eyes. They were staring up into the eyes of both Leomon and Metal Garurumon. These were the two digimon they had hoped to see again. Also to everyone's surprise, the blonde-haired Child of Friendship, Yamato "Matt" Ishida, sat on top of Metal Garurumon's back.
"ALL RIGHT!" TK exclaimed happily. "It's my brother, you guys! I knew he'd come! Matt!"
"Yeah! This is great! This is just what we needed!" Kari agreed with the boy.
"This is great and all, but when did you get here? We've been trying to contact you!" Sora shouted out.
"Leomon sent me a message and warned me of a possible threat and that's how I came here. Azulongmon was more than happy to open up a portal for myself and Gabumon to enter through," Matt explained to his fellow Digi-Destined without giving any of them eye contact. "I'll explain my absence later but first we got some major ass kicking to hand over."
"I'm inclined to agree," Leomon replied. "You three have already caused enough trouble as it is and how dare you destroy this beautiful forest! These were my training grounds. So I say we settle this, Metal Garurumon, you and Matt go down and attend to Tai's War Greymon. He'll need help to get War Greymon back onto his feet."
"Let's go, Matt!" Metal Garurumon pointed towards the cave's direction. "I see Joe running inside with the medicine!"
"You lead the way! Good luck, Leomon!" Matt said to the warrior before Metal Garurumon flew him down towards the cavern.
(End theme)
As soon as Matt said that, Metal Garurumon flew down to where the cavern was located and found Tai inside with the two younger children with him. Leomon turned his attention over towards the three dark warriors and sheathed his majestic sword.
"Angewomon! Birdramon! Kabuterimon! Angemon! You four lend me a hand!" Leomon declared out towards each of the digimon on his side. "Ikkakumon! Togemon! Guard the cave!"
"Right!" they all said in unison.
(Play Metallica's Fuel)
The brave warrior flew across the battlefield and engaged in combat with Black Rapid. They immediately hammered away at one another faster than anyone could blink. Angewomon and Angemon were holding their own against Blue Mera. Birdramon and Kabuterimon did their best to prevent Skull Satan to sneak attack their comrades.
Guarding the cavern, Togemon and Ikkakumon provided the defense to allow Joe, Matt and Metal Garurumon to enter the cavern. Mimi and Palmon had given the herbs to Joe to help mix with the medicine he had brought.
"Oh, so you think you can keep up with our power?" Black Rapid taunted the brave warrior. "What makes you think that you will do any better than them?"
"Makes you look stupid that you realize that you and your two comrades are outnumbered. Now who sent you here!" Leomon demanded an answer from the dark cyborg.
"That's none of your business, mate! Because by the time I tell you, you'll be long dead! Rapid Fire!" Black Rapid shouted out his secondary attack.
Lucikly for Leomon, he saw the missiles coming right for him but he managed to phase away to dodge the missiles. Black Rapid dived down directly at Leomon and threw out a right fist to punch his adversary. They both traded blows and were maneuvering from each other's impact blows.
"Cold Flame!" Blue Mera launched an array of blue fire blasts from out of his body
"Celestial Arrow!" Angewomon countered by launching out an arrow through a bow.
"Hand of Fate!" the male angel pushed his fist across to launch a massive holy beam.
The two angel's combined attacks came together to form a rather large energy ball and shot towards Blue Mera. The ice-flame digimon managed to dodge to the side to avoid a rather disastrous fate. Blue Mera went flying right directly for Angemon and punched him into the gut. After that, he sent Angemon flying down with one kick to the head. Angewomon came up from behind and powered up for her next attack.
"Heaven's Charm!" Angewomon repeated the same attack from earlier before Leomon intervened.
Blue Mera turned to see the holy beam come right for him but he managed to retaliate with his Cold Flame attack to redirect the attack right back at the angel. Angemon managed to recover and threw his angel rod right into Blue Mera's back. Blue Mera gasped in shock and watches as the beam penetrated right through his body. His screams echoed out across the battlefield before his body was breaking down into data.
"NO! REVENGE SHALL BE MINE!" Blue Mera shouted out as he met his eventual fate. "LORD MUTALIOR!"
With that said Blue Mera's body was disintegrated through the holy beam and exploded into data fragments. Angewomon smiled in satisfaction and flew over to give aid to Angemon. They all turned to see Skull Scorpio handling Kabuterimon and Birdramon.
"Oh please! You two are far too weak to make me even notice!" Skull Scorpio taunted the two champions. "I see no possible way for you to defeat me! But let's see what you're made of! If I can't beat you two at once, then I'm a poor excuse of a solder, which I'm not!
"Ugh, just shut up and fight!" Kabuterimon roared in frustration. "Electro Shocker!"
"Meteor Wing!" Birdramon launched an array of fire blasts from out of her wings.
The two attacks coming directly towards Skull Scorpio but the rather powerful arachnid was able to deflect them using his armored claws. The digimon were fortunately able to avoid their own attacks being reflected back at them.
"No way! He's deflected them back at them!" exclaimed Izzy as he feared the fate of his partner.
"We're going to have to resort to a better strategy to beat him, Izzy!" Sora suggested to the computer whiz.
"You're right and I have just the thing. Ever heard of the ol' tag and attack strategy?" Izzy asked the redhead.
"Um, no," Sora sweat dropped.
"Never mind, I'll demonstrate with Kabuterimon! Hey do you remember the old tag and attack strategy that I taught you!" Izzy called out to his partner.
"Oh yeah like a charm, Izzy!" Kabuterimon shouted back in reply to the boy.
"Birdramon I want you to follow along with him!" Izzy called out. "You'll get the hang of it! Trust me!"
"Well alright," Birdramon sighed. "If it's really going to help us…"
Birdramon and Kabuterimon started maneuvering around Skull Scorpio. The dark ultimate looked directly up and began to question their motives.
"Hmmm. I wonder what they're strategizing. I better keep an eye on their movements! There's no telling what they have planned for me. They'll attack at any side if they could," Skull Scorpio whispered to himself so neither can hear him.
Suddenly, Kabuterimon dove towards Skull Scorpio and tagged him by slapping him across the head. Skull Scorpio attempted to grab him but Kabuterimon quickly maneuvered to the side. Birdramon came diving in from behind and slammed against Skull Scorpio's back. The dark ultimate attempted to retaliate against her with his claws. However, before he had a chance to implement an attack, Birdramon quickly flew upward.
"Damn! Hold still!" Skull Scorpio cursed as he smashed his claws together.
"Electro Shocker!" Kabuterimon shouted and launched a purple ball of electric energy.
"NO FAIR!"
"Meteor Wing!"
The two attacks slammed against Skull Scorpio head on and a cloud of smoke engulfed the dark digimon completely. Izzy and Sora felt their chests emit auras of light and the powers of their former crests were intensifying up inside their hearts.
"Time for some ultimate power of our own!" exclaimed Izzy. "Kabuterimon!"
"Birdramon!" Sora cried out.
The duo's crest symbols started to flare up on their chests as it gave their digimon the power to digivolve into their ultimate-level forms.
"Kabuterimon CHOU SHINKA! Altur Kabuterimon!"
"Birdramon CHOU SHINKA! Garudamon!"
Skull Scorpio turned around and emerged from out of the smoke cloud unscathed. He noticed the two ultimates glaring him down.
"Oh! Just because you two evolved into your ultimate forms, doesn't make you any superior to me! I'll show you what I'm truly capable of!"
Skull Scorpio flew directly towards Garudamon and lunged his claws directly for her. She goes staggering back and Skull Scorpio launched out a mouth blast right at Altur Kabuterimon. Altur Kabuterimon dodged to the side and powered up his next attack. His horn flared up with intense energy before condensing it into a sphere and shooting it across his arachnid adversary.
"Horn Buster!"
Garudamon powers up her ki level and a wave created out of her flames came spreading out across her back. She then sent a fiery phoenix right towards Skull Scorpio.
"Wing Blade!"
The two attacks shot forward at Skull Scorpio and they connected head on with the mighty ultimate. He watched as the two attacks engulfed him with ease and screamed out before his body was quickly deleted into digital dust.
"I'VE FAILED YOU, LORD MUTALIOR! THESE CHILDREN AND THEIR DIGIMON ARE INDEED A GREATER THREAT THAN WE-"
"Yay! They've gotten rid of those two!" Mimi cheered on.
"This is good and now Leomon can finish off the other one!" Togemon happily smiled. "After that, all we need to do is take care of Sithdramon and Mutalior!"
"All right! We did it!" Kari and TK cheered on from inside the cave while watching the events unfold.
"Now we're down to one! Leomon you think you can take him?" Sora called out to the brave warrior.
"Yes. I'll handle the rest from here!" Leomon replied back to the redhead.
"No! You killed my comrades! Now I'm going to kill you," Black Rapid retorted to the warrior.
Leomon turned around and found Black Rapid flying directly at him. Black Rapid executed an elbow shot into Leomon's gut and sent him plummeting back. Black Rapid dove right after him and shot out numerous missiles at him.
"Rapid Fire!"
Leomon opened his eyes and quickly maneuvered to the side. Growling angrily, Black Rapid phased behind the brave warrior. He went for a head butt, but Leomon was able to phase away just in time. Black Rapid gasped and flew out towards into the forest in the far distance. They were now exactly far off from where the children were located. Black Rapid shot out more missiles around his surroundings in order to stall Leomon.
"Rapid Fire!"
Black Rapid watched the devastation from the exploding blasts and scouted around his surroundings. He waited and searched until his scouter started picking up on a huge power reading. He gasped when he felt a tremendous power reading instantly appear from behind. He turned around and was met with a right hand by Leomon. Black Rapid was sent flying back across and crashed through several nearby trees. Leomon launched himself right at him and sheathed out his sword. He sliced through the incoming tree branches and met up with Black Rapid out in an open space and out of the forest. They faced each other down.
With the Digi-Destined and their digimon partners far off, Leomon was left to finish his battle with Black Rapid.
"So, tell me. Who sent you here and why are you here?" Leomon demanded to know. "Tell me now or should I just beat it out of you!"
"I think I can answer that for you," a dark, sinister voice called out from above.
Turning around to look up, Leomon attempted to get a view of the one who had just spoken out just now. Suddenly, a red beam came shooting down and pierced through his chest. The brave warrior gasped out in shock as he heard a faint echo in his ears and spat out a mouth full of blood. As soon as his eyes caught glimpse of the mysterious figure staring down from the skies, his eyes all widened in complete shock. He managed to look up to see who shot him and he gasped in horror at who he saw.
"No… Burizalor!" Leomon managed to choke out before the figure fired more blasts down at him.
Leomon thought that he had seen Burizalor and proclaimed him to be dead but in reality, it was none other than Mutalior.
"That's one down and many more bodies to pile," Mutalior thought as he shot down blasts at Leomon.
(End theme)
Data World/Unknown Sector
With the battle resumed in the Digital World against Mutalior's men, the only individual remaining in the data world was none other than Sithdramon. He was still spreading the virus throughout the network in attempt to hijack the earth's missile defense network. In only a matter of moments, the first of the missiles will set for launch and target the designated hotspots. He would start the United States' missile defense systems. With their massive collection of missiles, they would devastate many parts of the globe.
Japan is now being designated as the first target thanks in part to Sithdramon's virus. He aimed to destroy their home town first before all else. Such an action will provoke international crisis and lead to conventional warfare.
"Process is in near completion, my lord," Sithdramon whispered to himself in the data world. "I've gathered enough information from the networks. I am now rerouting a missile to be sent to Tokyo, the metropolis home of the Digi-Destined. Everything will be wiped out with nothing left. Lord Mutalior, this plan to spread a virus into the human's missile defense systems was indeed ingenious. By destroying their home world first, their spirits will be shattered once they realize they couldn't do anything to prevent Armageddon on their precious Mother Earth."
The dark dragon was indeed moments away from allowing the missile to be launched from out of America and straight for Japan. In the meantime, as he continues to go to work, Mutalior would have his chance to get his hands on the Child of Courage. With only Black Rapid left and Leomon incapacitated, Mutalior should have no trouble dealing with all the other Digi-Destined. That would mean only Tai and Matt would be left to be dealt with. It would come down to War Greymon and Metal Garurumon eventually stopping Mutalior, Black Rapid and Sithdramon.
Time was running out for the Digi-Destined… and their home town from becoming a nuclear wasteland.
Within Primary Forest Region/Cavern/Sector 197-50
With Black Rapid returning back to deal with the rest of the Digi-Destined's digimon, Palmon and Joe had already mixed together the medicine needed to heal War Greymon's injuries. The medicine was in the form of an herbal cream to soothe and massage the muscles in his body. The burnt injury on his back was healed from the cream. Much to Tai's relief, the mega digimon was going to make it through.
"Thank goodness. I can't help but thank you, Joe. Palmon," Tai commended his friends' efforts. "Now, War Greymon will be set for action soon…"
"Not yet he isn't," Matt spat out.
"What did you say, Matt?" Tai demanded.
Metal Garurumon and Matt walked into the cave as they confronted the Child of Courage. The two boys/rivals faced each other down and were reminiscing their previous encounter. Matt's heavenly blue eyes met Tai's chocolate-brown eyes. Matt had wanted to kill Tai for two reasons: to take back his brother and assume leadership of the Digi-Destined. Their conflict led to War Greymon and Metal Garurumon tearing one another apart. Suddenly, before either one of them would utter a word, a smirk crossed the blonde's face.
"Well, Tai. It's been a while. You managed to survive on your own. I must say, I thought you were dead since day one," Matt spoke out as he ran a hand through his hair. "But since Azulongmon told us that you and Agumon were training under his watchful eyes, I counted down the days 'til we will actually get to meet one on one confrontation. You owe me and Metal Garurumon that gratitude. After all, we didn't get to finish where we left off."
"Well sorry to burst your bubble, but it looks like you won't get that chance," Tai remarked with a smirk on his face. "But what you can do is have Metal Garurumon heal War Greymon. The medicine will only heal his injuries, but his power needs to be restored. Plus, it didn't look like Leomon brought any digi-pills. What do you say? There are two main creeps we have to take out. One of them is planning to infect the main networks of the earth's missile defense system. Our hometown is amongst the first targets!"
"You're kidding!"
"No, I'm not. I wouldn't lie when it comes to our families being in grave danger. So, what do you say? War Greymon and I give that Mutalior bastard what he wants. You and Metal Garurumon can handle Sithdramon. What do you think? That sounds good to you?"
"All right. I think Metal Garurumon can take care of that guy. You just leave him to me, but you two go and kick the crap out of Mutalior. If he's anything like his spoiled boy, Omega X should take him out."
"If we can the chance to merge together that is…"
"You'll do fine, Tai. Trust me, because I hope you do manage to survive. We still have a fight to finish before a winner was even decided."
"It's a deal, Matt. Our next fight will be something everyone will remember," Tai nodded his head in agreement.
"That's good, because this time we'll defeat you and War Greymon for sure. I must know the power of digital fusion. I must to defeat Omega X!" Matt thought as a devious smile crossed his face.
Matt nodded over to Metal Garurumon, as the metallic mega stepped towards War Greymon and pressed his head against War Greymon's back. Suddenly, a blue aura of light came flowing out of Metal Garurumon and through War Greymon's burnt up back. Slowly, War Greymon's powers were being revived and his energy level was being restored in the process. Matt held out his digivice and it began to emit a bright hue of light. Then his chest began to flare up with the symbol of friendship glowing. The two combined powers were more than enough to rejuvenate Metal Garurumon's lost energy since he transferred most of his energy to War Greymon.
"Wow, thanks Matt. I owe you one. So are you still obsessed in beating me and taking my place?" Tai asked with a smile.
"I haven't changed a bit one bit. I'll make sure no one but myself defeats you. You and War Greymon had better not die on me," Matt warned the duo with his arms crossed. "Now to take care of that Sithdramon creep. Let's go, Metal Garurumon! We have trash to clean up!"
"Oh brother, you haven't changed one bit, Matt," Tai rolled his eyes and turned his attention towards the cavern's entrance.
Metal Garurumon and War Greymon both looked out towards the exit of the cavern and started over towards it with their human partners at their side. While Matt and Metal Garurumon deal with Sithdramon in the data world, Tai and War Greymon would aid their fellow Digi-Destined against Black Rapid and Mutalior.
War Greymon has been healed thanks to the medicine provided by Joe and Palmon. Much to everyone's surprise, Leomon and Metal Garurumon arrive. Matt and Metal Garurumon set off to stop Sithdramon while Tai and his trusted partner handle Mutalior himself. Joe, Mimi, Sora, TK, Izzy and Kari could only watch in horror as Black Rapid goes roughshod on their partners. However, his momentum will be short-lived once War Greymon returns. Can the virus from Sithdramon be stopped? Will War Greymon's newly rejuvenated strength be enough topple Mutalior? The evil warlord is just close by and ready to commence battle with the Warrior of Courage. It all comes to ahead!

Whoo! I'm already finished this chapter! I hope the fight scenes were good in this chapter. Sorry this one was a day late but I've been too addicted to Devil May Cry 3. Just finished the game last night. Anyway, this story is coming to ahead with Mutalior taking center stage to fight! If you've read my original Mutalior movie, you'll know what to expect. However, there'll be a twist surprise that even most of you won't see coming.
This movie fic itself is coming down to its final two chapters. Notice the pattern in my latest movie fics? Daimaomon's Conquest for Power was 5 chapters; Gyrogmon's Invasion was 6 chapters; and now Mutalior's Vengeance will end up having 7 chapters. That's an increase of a chapter for each movie. The next movie fic after this one will be the Dimitri Movie Special, which has been highly anticipated by many of you. I plan to make it my first 'M-rated' D-Fusion story with Dimitri's future darker and more twisted than even Trunks' timeline.
Hope you guys are catching up with Pharaohmon because I'll be working on the next two chapters and put this story on a short break. Until then, peace!
