Author's Notes:

Okay, I ran into some problems with this story due to some crazy ideas I have, characters development, some scenes and action sequence to rework. I was stuck in Writer's Block for almost a month. Never been so frustrated to rework on this kind of story.

This episode is very special for three shows to crossover. The second attempt to do so since my last try with MLP Mystic Equestria-Transformers (Movie)-G.I. Joe (Movie). Hope everyone's ready for this one! It's show time! Enjoy it!

Episode 8: DigiRevolution!

(Mainstream Prime Universe)

A month has passed, the Plumbers and N.E.S.T. Strike Team spread across the world to search and destroy the Cybertronian Black Market, ensuring that no one ever used them, thanks to Elena and Moonracer.

However, the Decepticons has captured Doubledealer, who made a deal with them by revealing Quintessa's arsenals and weaponry including Dimension Bridge, which interest the Lord of Decepticons. He has Starscream, Doubledealer, Soundwave, Nautica, the engineers and construction units to start building up the project at one of Dylan Gould's abandoned warehouses, located at Bloomington, Indiana.

Thanks to I.M. Weazel and Molly Gunther's patrolling at Indiana, they reported to Grandpa Max and Optimus Prime of their discovery. Team Prime and Team Ben have been deployed to deal with the enemies at their location. Unfortunately, Onslaught and his Combaticons are leading the 1,200 Vehicon Troopers to hold the front line. Luckily, the Aerialbots and Whirl are dealing with them. Grandpa Max and the Plumbers also helped them as well.

Team Prime and Team Ben are now inside the abandoned warehouse, they found the Decepticons Engineers have finished constructing Dimension Bridge. And at the same time, Soundwave and Nautica were working on computer panel, setting up its program to work. Megatron was talking with Doubledealer, who helped and taught him on how to use holographic control panel and has twin electronic pillars-like. Just as they were about to stop them, the remaining Decepticons and 300 soldiers.

Ironhide, Jazz, Tetrax and Rook were firing their rifles at Starscream, Blackout, Skywarp, Slipstream and their Seekers, who in flying transports to fly and fire blasters and missile at them. Bulkhead and Bluestreak teamed up to face off both Knockout and Breakdown. Arcee and Bumblebee grudgingly challenged and fought Airachnid and Barricade. Ratchet and Moonracer rammed and pushed Soundwave and Nautica away from the computer panel. Feedback and Armrostrike were firing their powerful Electrical Shock and Cybertronian Blasters at Doubledealer, who barely dodge and evade the attacks while trying to swing his sword at them, who dodge and continued firing back at him. Optimus Prime and Megatron were having sword fighting.

Optimus Prime clashed and rammed Megatron against the control panel. The Prime found something shocking and disbelieving on screens. He found various versions of himself and his nemesis firmly leading their army and relentlessly fighting each other such as G1, Unicron Trilogy, Movieverse, Animated, Cyberverse, WFC, IDW (2005 & 2019) and even Code Prime.

"By the Allspark… What have you done, Megatron?!" Optimus Prime demanded in shock and anger.

"These? I see you met our counterparts," Megatron mocked amusingly with chuckle. He then kicked his nemesis off. They both continued crossing blades while having the conversation. He continued, "The Dimension Bridge will allow me to travel across the dimensions or bringing them here, where I can absorb all of them including their powers and abilities! I shall finally transcend into a more powerful being in this universe. And to finish what I've started!"

Disgusted and angered by Megatron's mad plan, Optimus Prime snapped while clashed against him, "I won't allow you to continue with this madness, Megatron!"

Megatron chuckled amusingly, "Then come and stop me, old friend…"

Megatron headbutted Optimus Prime's head before kicked him off. He swung and struck his Gladiator Blade at him. He barely dodged and evaded the attacks thrice. Both then relentlessly fought and battled against each other for few rounds.

While Team Prime and Team Ben were busy fighting the Decepticons, they weren't aware of a familiar girl's hiding behind the large crates. He was using her phone to film whole battlefield.

"Coolest battle ever!" Miko commented excitedly. She then noticed holographic screens of dimension counterparts. She whistled, "Wow! The Spiderverse Event! Cool…"

"Miko! Have you lost your mind?!" Jack's voice asked angrily, scaring Miko off. She turned and found him and Raf stood before her. She gulped nervously while waving to him. He sighed while crossed his arms, "For once, can you stop doing this?!"

"I don't think she want to," Raf remarked dryly with a sigh.

"Come on, guys! I can handle this by myself! I'm a big girl for crying out loud." Miko complained in annoyance while crossed her arms. She sighed, "Besides, we got more problems. Our buddies need our help to stop King Con's big plan now!"

Wanted to bring her back but also knew Miko too well, Jack sighed reluctantly, "Fine, we'll stay. But I swear if my mom ever finds out about this and ground me, I'm gonna make sure you get the same punishment!"

"You're not serious, Jack?" Raf asked in disbelief.

"I don't like it too, Raf. But this is Miko we're talking about," Jack said reluctantly. Raf gave some thoughts before nodded reluctantly. He continued, "We stay close together and watch over each other's back. Got it?"

"Roger that, Commander Darby!" Miko saluted proudly yet teasingly, annoying Jack. She continued, "Okay, guys, I overheard the King Con's using the Dimension Bridge to bring his lookalike partners here, so he can merge with them to become some kind of god-like monster to rule the universe."

Raf hissed in concern, "The sounds worse. If he fused together with his alternative counterparts, he not only becomes the most powerful being but also destroy the multiverse. If you remove them from their own dimension, it will disrupt and destroy the multiverse including us!"

Jack and Miko gasped in concern. He spoke firmly, "We can't let that happen. I can't believe that I'm gonna say this. Miko, you're right about this."

"No sweat. Finally got appreciate of this," Miko thanked happily. She continued, "This will be like our four previous missions. So, what's the plan?"

"We need to shut down this Dimension Bridge Portal before the program complete," Raf said firmly. He turned and looked at the computer. He continued, "That computer is our best bet to shut it down!"

"Think you can handle it?" Jack asked.

Raf smiled confidently, "Like riding a bicycle. I'll need you two to help me out."

With Jack and Miko nodded firmly, they and Raf sneaked through couple of crates and oil cans as they're trying to avoid from getting spotted and caught by the enemies. They approached and arrived to the computer panel, where they climbed to top. Raf firmly yet carefully looked at the monitor screen while instructed Jack and Miko to push down which buttons. And at the same time, he was moving the rounded-like mouse pad on center.

Ratchet swung his surgical blades at his opponent, Nautica quickly dodge them twice before grabbed and thrown him at Moonracer off to the ground. She turned back to the computer, where she found Jack, Miko and Raf were working on it.

"Filthy organic!" Nautica snapped angrily while armed with her Sonic Turbo Blaster. She snarled, "Get off my computer, insects! Now!"

Just as Nautica fired her Sonic Turbo Blaster, Raf heard and spotted the blast, heading towards Jack and Miko. He quickly pushed and moved them off from the keyboard. They both landed on the ground. He then got hit and blasted off straight to the front of Dimension Portal. He groaned in pain.

Just as they recovered, both Jack and Miko found Raf on the ground. They all called his name while checking and asking him if her was alright. Like them, Ratchet and Moonraver also recovered and saw what happened.

"RAFAEL! Nooooooooooo!" Moonracer screamed angrily.

Moonracer charged out. Ratchet gasped and shouted, "Moonracer, don't!"

Armed with her sword, Moonracer tried to swing and strike at Nautica, who quickly dodged the attack. She armed and fired her Sonic Turbo Blaster with maximum capacity at her sister, who got thrown and slammed on the computer panel.

The attacked damaged and caused it electrocuted and malfunctioned. The monitor screen showing 'Error' and even the holographic screens have them as well. The Dimension Bridge activated and opened the portal. It was then filled with surging electric shocks and vibrating wildly.

"That's not good," Feedback commented in concern.

Doubledealer gasped, "You idiots! Look at what you've done! It's destabilizing!"

Armorstrike hissed in fear, "Why do I get the feeling of Déjà vu again?"

"Coz it is," Tetrax answered in shock.

"Fall back now!" Optimus Prime and Megatron ordered firmly.

Just before anyone could do anything, the Dimension Bridge's portal began sucking and dragging almost everything into it. Everyone tried to hold on the pillars and crates tightly, but the pull was very strong to got them in including Megatron's Team, Team Prime and even Team Ben. Raf, whom Jack and Miko struggled and failed to hold his hands tightly, also got thrown into it as well. They all screamed his name.

Just before Jack and Miko could do anything, Doubledealer took his blaster to fire at the Dimension Bridge's pumping fuel, shutting down the machine. Though he's safe from danger, he knew he's not out of the woods.

"This is Doubledealer! All Decepticons, fall back now!" Doubledealer ordered firmly, "I don't have time to explain and argue! Get back to Nemesis now!"

As commanded, the Groundbridge Portal appeared for Doubledealer to run into it. Instead of going after him, Jack and Miko ran towards the Groundbridge as they were calling out his name while finding a way to reactivate the machine. Grandpa Max and the rest of his allies marched into the warehouse after Onslaught and his forces have escaped.

Both Autobots and Plumbers were confused and uncertain of what's going on. Grandpa Max approached to Jack and Miko, who were still working on the machine.

"What happen?" Grandpa Max asked, didn't have the time to scold them being here.

"It's Raf! And our friends!" Miko cried in concern and hurt.

Jack nodded in concern, "The Dimension bridge got them transported to who-knows-where they end up?! And we're trying to reactivate it!"

Grandpa Max looked shocked and concerned. He looked at the Dimension Bridge, "Not again…"

(Digital World 2020)

After barely survived and destroyed Millenniumon, the Digidestineds and their Digimon Partners are now sleeping peacefully and quietly inside Komondomon's living room. They're all deserved rest and relaxation after their long fight against the evil Digimon. But they also hoped that they can returned home safely as well. While everyone was still asleep especially Kari leaned on his shoulder, Tai grunted in his sleep due to his nightmares of almost died twice. He gasped in shock, waiting up now. Looking around, he realized that he's still with his friends and sister. He sighed in relief that he's safe, though he could use a drink.

Manage to get up without waking up his sister and friends, Tai climbed down and emerged out from Komondomon's entrance. Just as he arrived at the lake, he found Sora squatting and sitting down near to its edge. He has the feeling that she's not having a goodnight sleep too, but wanted to check on her.

Tai approached to Sora from behind, he sat down close to her. He greeted, "(Japanese) Hey."

Sora startled a bit as she turned and found Tai on her side, "(Japanese) Taichi? You're up?"

Tai nodded while smiled warmly, "(Japanese) Yeah. Couldn't sleep. Thought I could get something to drink."

"(Japanese) Same here. I was a bit of thirsty," Sora answered calmly. Using her both hands, she carried some water for her to drink. She sighed, "That feels good. Nothing to worry about.

"(Japanese) Sora, you okay?"

"(Japanese) Yeah, I'm alright. Why?"

"(Japanese) Come on, Sora. You're my friend. I know something's bothering you when you have that look. You know you can tell me."

Tai knew her too well, Sora sighed in defeat, "(Japanese) I'm just scared and worried about you." Her friend was confused and worried. She continued, "When we saw the explosion on the Cloud Continent, all of us thought you might be gone forever. We were scared and worried for you. You almost died twice."

"(Japanese) Twice?"

"(Japanese) Takeru and Patamon told me that you were badly injured by miasma when you saved them from DoneDevimon's attack. You almost got eaten alive by that evil monster. I wouldn't dare to imagine how horrible it is."

"(Japanese) I see. Sorry, Sora. It's kinda scary."

"(Japanese) I-I don't know what we can do if you really gone. It's not about Millenniumon or bad Digimons, but how we explain to your parents about you. I've already lied to your mom that you're staying with me in my house."

"(Japanese) Sora…"

"(Japanese) Taichi, can you please promise me this? Promise me that you won't take risk and die to protect us again."

"(Japanese) But Sora, I-!"

"(Japanese) Please, Taichi!" Sora interrupted with tears, startled Tai. While her tears flowing down in her cheeks, she continued, "Promise me. I don't want your family and Hikari get heartbroken to see you dead again."

As much as he wants to keep his friends safe from harm, Tai knew Sora was right. He has seen them including Kari were scared and hurt for thinking he was gone for good. He also knew she meant well and care for everyone.

While wiping her tears off, Tai touched on her left side of cheek while smiled sincerely and warmly to her, "(Japanese) I promised, Sora. I'll try not to take the risk again."

Sora sighed in relief while hugging her best friend, "(Japanese) That's all I ask, Taichi. If we're facing something dangerous as Machinedramon and Millenniumon again, we fight together as a team. Got it?"

Tai sighed in defeat while hugging back, "(Japanese) Yeah, of course. No worries. We're in this together."

Sora nodded, "(Japanese) Yeah. That's what I want to hear."

"(Japanese) Onichan!" Kari's voice called out, alerting Tai and Sora.

Tai and Sora then looked at each other as they're still hugging. They got blushed and flustered of what they're doing. They quickly departed while looking awkwardly and embarrassingly. They then found Kari, Gatomon, Agumon and even Biyomon coming towards them.

"(Japanese) Hikari?" Tai asked in concern as Hikari jumped and hugged him tightly. He yelped, "Hey. Take it easy, Hikari. What's wrong?"

"(Japanese) Hikari has the nightmare again," Gatomon answered in concern.

Kari cried in concern, "(Japanese) I was so worried that something bad happen to you. I thought you're gone for good again while I'm all alone…"

Tai looked surprise before looked at Sora, who nodded in confirmation that Kari shared the same concern as hers.

Tai sighed as he departed from hugging his sister while looking at her, "(Japanese) Hikari, I promised you that I will never be gone. I won't do that again." He then patted and ruffled Hikari's hair, "Besides, I have a little sister to look after. Can't afford to get slacked off when she needed me the most."

Kari was uncertain and doubtful, Agumon assured her, "(Japanese) Don't you worry, Hikari. I won't let anything bad happen to your brother. After all, we're the team. We survived the worst."

Gatomon nodded in agreement, "(Japanese) Agumon's right. He's the strongest Digimon we ever had. Your brother will be fine, Hikari. Have faith."

After listening to her friends' reassurance, Hikari smiled warmly while hugging Tai "(Japanese) Yeah. Thank you all."

"(Japanese) Aw… That's so sweet," Biyomon commented cutely. She turned and looked at Sora, "Sora, do you ever have a brother or sister? Coz I would like to meet one and tell them how amazing you truly are to them."

Sora blushed a bit while patted Biyomon's head, "(Japanese) Well, I wish I have. But I have a strict and traditional mother. She has a hard time to accept me the way I am especially when I preferred soccer over flowers. I don't know if she ever loved me for who I am."

Biyomon smiled playfully, "(Japanese) Well, I'm happy to tell her that you're a good girl for helping and caring a lot of people and Digimon. She would understand and proud of it. She'll always love you, Sora."

Sora sighed, "(Japanese) I sure hope so."

BOOM! Tai and his friends got alerted by the loud noise. They all looked up and found greenish colored swirling portal-like with bright light in middle.

"(Japanese) Wait. What's that?" Tai asked in concern. To him and his friends shock and feared, the swirling portal launched couple of strange bright crimson lights like meteor. They were heading straight at them. He gasped, "RUN!"

Tai and his friends quickly turned and ran towards the Komondomon while calling out for the rest of their friends. They all got woke up and climbed down from the dog transport. And just before they ask or could do anything, the meteors-like made a large impact on the ground, causing some explosion and powerful force to repel and knock Digidestineds and their Digimon Partners away from the lake.

Digidestined Team groaned and moaned in pain while slowly getting up and recovered from the impact.

"(Japanese) Is everyone alright?" Sora asked.

As everyone answered calmly yet painfully about them being alright, Matt asked in concern, "(Japanese) What was that? What hit us?"

Gabumon groaned, "(Japanese) No idea. That hurt!"

"(Japanese) Meteor shower?" Izzy asked in concern.

TK gulped in fear, "(Japanese) That was too close. I hate to get close to that."

CLASH! POW! SCREAM! Digidestined and their Digimon were alerted by the noise. They looked up and found Optimus Prime is falling from midair as he was about to fall on them. Just before anyone could do anything, they all including Komondomon got levitated and moved away before the Prime slammed to the ground.

"(Japanese) W-What just happen?!" Mimi asked in shock and confusion while hugging Palmon tightly, "Why are we floating?!"

"(Japanese) I can't control flying!" Tentomon panicked while trying to fly, along with Biyomon and Patamon.

"(Japanese) What's going on?!" Palmon asked in fear.

Joe panicked, "(Japanese) No idea! I hope we're saved and not get eaten!"

"(Japanese) Joe, calm down! We're saved like you said by him!" Gomamon said calmly while pointing down.

Digidestineds Team looked down and found Gravattack, in his planetoid sphere, floating while levitating them all in midair. They were all shocked and surprised that someone saved them. Meters away from the impact, Gravattack slowly put the children and their partners on the ground.

"That was close," Gravattack said in relief. He turned and looked at the Digidestineds, "(Japanese) Okay, you're safe now. Just stay here. This is gonna be intense fighting with the bad guys!"

Just before the Digidestineds Team could ask, Gravattack already left and returned to the impacted area. The children and their Digimon Partners found Team Prime and Team Ben continued their fierce battle against the Decepticons.

"(Japanese) W-What were those things?!" Joe asked in fear.

"(Japanese) They looked like robots…" Izzy answered in surprise.

"(Japanese) Koushiro, what's a robot?" Tentomon asked.

Izzy explained, "(Japanese) It's a non-sentient mechanical being with no souls and no emotions but intelligent mind."

"(Japanese) But still what's going on?!" Mimi asked in frustration, "We just got out from the fight against a giant monster! And now we're doing this?!"

Palmon sighed, (Japanese) I finally get some rest from the fight…"

"(Japanese) So, what are we gonna do?" TK asked in concern, "Do we go and help them?"

Kari hummed in concern, "(Japanese) But which one is good guys while another bad guys?"

"(Japanese) I don't know…" Tai hummed in concern while looking at Gravattack levitated and thrown couple of trees at Megatron, who firmly cut them down before fought Optimus Prime. Looking at Autobot and Decepticon Badge, Tai deduced, "If I'm correct, that rock Digimon is helping red-blue robot to fight off that silver monster. I'm guessing that red badge is good guy while purple one is bad guy."

Sensing Optimus Prime and Megatron's aura within, Gatomon hummed, "(Japanese) You're not wrong, Taichi. I sense pure light in that red-blue robot while that silver monster possessed darkness within."

"(Japanese) Yeah, me too," Patamon nodded in agreement, having the same sensation.

"(Japanese) Guess we know who they are now," Sora said firmly and calmly, "What are we gonna do?"

"(Japanese) Like what we always do, guys. We help our new friends to fight off the bad guys!" Tai said confidently and firmly while holding his Digivice. He asked, "Are you with me?!"

"(Japanese) YEAH!" Digidestineds and their Digimon Partners cheered.

As Digidestineds held their glowing Digivices up, the Digimon Partners glowed brightly in different colors while giving their battle cries. They began evolving and transforming into their Champion Levels now. They all roared out loud before entering the battlefield.

Gravattack continued levitating and pouring the rain of woods on Megatron, who firmly yet aggressively cut them down at ease. Optimus Prime charged and rammed at him by chest. However, he withstands and held the ramming for the moment before struck on his left abdomen, followed by punching him for ten times and finally kicked him off. Gravattack has just entered planetoid sphere to access his Orbitkinesis Power, but the Lord of Decepticons swiftly punched and knocked him straight at Optimus Prime to the ground hard due to the gravity powers. Just as Megatron loaded up his Fusion Cannon, he got his face blasted by couple of fireballs. Optimus Prime and Gravattack were surprised by it.

"What just happen?" Gravattack asked in surprise.

"I do not know…" Optimus Prime admitted in concern. He then looked on his left, where he found Taichi was riding Greymon charging while firing his Nova Blasts at Megatron. He gasped, "The children?! I thought you told me that you brought them to safety!"

"I did!" Gravattack exclaimed in concern, "(Japanese) Hey, kid! Get out of there now! You can't beat Megatron!"

"(Japanese) Don't worry! We've got this!" Tai exclaimed confidently.

Greymon jumped and kicked his two feet at Megatron off. The Decepticon Lord screamed in anger as he swung and struck his Gladiator Blade at the Digimon, who quickly and swiftly dodge before punching, kicking, swinging his tail and also firing his Nova Blasts at him.

"Gotta admit. That kid got some courage," Gravattack commented.

"Even so, that is reckless and dangerous when he is facing Megatron. There were eight children and their partners?" Optimus Prime asked firmly. Gravattack nodded seriously. Using his commlink, he contacted his allies, "Optimus Prime to all team! Be alert! There are seven children coming and assisting you in the fight our enemies! Protect them from harms!"

"Yes, sir!" Team Prime and Team Ben responded.

While keeping their eyes out for Digidestineds and Digimon Partners, The Autobots and Team Ben continued battling the Decepticon Officers and Vehicon Troopers. Just as Optimus Prime's warning and concern, they have come and assisted them in the fight against the common enemies.

After swiftly dodging the blasts, Airachnid launched her webbing to tioe up Arcee and Armorstrike. Before she could finish them, Birddramon, with Sora on her talon to ride on, dived down and fired her Meteor Wings attack, as well as freeing them from the webs. The bird-like Digimon continued launcher her hail of fireballs on her. With her spider legs, she dodged and evaded the attacks before fired her Web Shooter, hitting the leg, which knocked Sora off balance and falling down. Luckily, Armorstrike flew and saved her while Arcee and Birdramon attacked Airachnid.

Knockout and Breakdown beaten and knocked both Bluestreak and Bulkhead to the ground. Just before they could finish them off, their sensitive parts struck very hard and painful, making them dropped to their knees. They looked at Togemon, who launched Lightning Jab on them both faces and bodies before using Coconut Punch to knock them out. Bluestreak and Bulkhead recovered and were shocked to see Togemon managed to beat them. They spotted Knockout and Breakdown recovered and about to attack her. Luckily, they both got up and attacked them, with the help of Togemon. Mimi cheered for them to win.

Nautica fired her Sonic Turbo Blasters at Bumblebee and Moonracer against the wall while Barricade aimed his Shotgun Buster at unconscious Raf on his palm. Gatomon struck her Lightning Paws on Barricade's face, letting go of Raf for Angemon to save him. She then jumped and used her Lightning Kick at Nautica's eyes, knocking her and unintentionally deactivate her blaster. Both young Autobots grunted in pain while recovering and getting up. Angemon and Gatomon landed safely where they let TK and Kari to get him to safety. Four of them turned and faced Barricade and Nautica, who also recovered. While both Autobots were fighting the Decepticons, Angemon and Gatomon moved around the enemy while attacking them head on.

Soundwave was holding and electrocuting Ratchet by his tentacles. He got hit and rammed by Katuberimon. He then unleashed his Electro Shocker on him, shocking the Decepticon for the moment. He then helped Ratchet to get up. Though shocked and worried, Ratchet was surprised by his help. They turned and found Soundwave recovered and deployed his minions to attack them both.

Ironhide, Jazz, Tetrax and Rook struggled with firing their Heavy Iron, Sonic Boom Buster, Diamond Gatlings and Proto-Tool's Blaster Mode at Starscream, Blackout, Slipstream, Skywarp and the army of Seekers. To the Decepticons' shock and surprise, they were attacked by couple of missiles. The heroes turned and looked back and found Joe and Ikkakumon fired Harpoon Torpedoes at them. And at the same time, Matt was riding Garurumon to pounce and bring Starscream and Blackout down. Just as they recovered, Matt and Garurumon found the Second-in-Command armed and aimed his missile at them. Luckily, he got rammed and knocked aside by Ironhide. He turned and look at Matt, who remained silent and serious. The Weapon Specialist nodded firmly before he, Matt and Gaurumon charged and attacked Starscream, who panicked to dodge and evade the attacks while firing his blasters and missiles at them.

Blackout grunted in pain, recovering from the surprise attack. He turned and found Megatron struggled to fight off Optimus Prime, Gravattack and Greymon. He gave out a loud battle cry as he charged rand rammed Greymon off. Tai, thrown off from his partner's head, falling into the Decepticon Brute's hand. He then tightened his grip on him, making the latter screamed in pain. This alerted and distracted Optimus Prime and Gravattack before they got knocked out by Megatron, who relentlessly attacked them. They struggled to withstand against him.

Komondomon charged and rammed at Blackout, who firmly withstand it before swung and knocked him aside to the wall. Just as the Digimon Dog tried to recover, the Decepticon Brute fired his Shockwave Cannon at him, injuring and wounding his legs before knocked on the wall again. He became unconscious now.

Greymon grunted in pain as he recovered. He then found Tai stuck in Blackout's grip. He gasped, "(Japanese) Taichi! Let him go!"

Just as Greymon charged and attacked Blackout, the latter firmly and knocked him to the ground. Just before the dinosaur-like Digimon tried to get up, the Decepticon Brute stomped and slammed him to the ground hard, making sure he doesn't get up. Greymon grunted in pain while roared out loud, struggling to get up.

"(Japanese) L-Let him go!" Greymon demanded protectively.

Blackout scoffed, "(Japanese) I will not let him go. In fact, I want you to watch your human partner suffered for foolishly thinking that you cand defeat the Decepticons. That is the price of courage, Dinobot!"

Greymon grunted in frustration and anger that he couldn't save his partner. He was about to give up until…

"(Japanese) Keep fighting, Greymon! Don't give up!" Tai shouted, surprising Greymon. He continued, "Remember what we've been through! No matter how strong they are, we will keep fighting and never give up! Greymon!"

Greymon was inspired by his partner's words as he remembered the tough situation that they have been through. He was right. He can't give up and keep on fighting.

(Be the Winner – Takayoshi Tanimoto)

"(Japanese) You're right, Taichi! I can't give up! I'll save you!" Greymon declared out loud as the Digivice glowed brightly.

"GREYMON SUPER DIGIVOLVE TO… METALGREYMON!"

Greymon's body glowed brightly, surprising Blackout. He began to Digivolve into MetalGreymon, who slowly getting up from the ground while pushing the Decepticon Brute off from his back. And at the same time, he unintentionally let go of Tai, who was falling done. Luckily, Gravattack hit his Omnitrix to turn into Jetray. He flew in and rescued the boy in time before landed to the ground.

Both Blackout and MetalGreymon recovered and slowly got up as they're facing at each other now.

"You transformed?" Blackout asked in surprise. He scoffed while armed with his Rotor Blades, "You may be worth my time than I thought…"

MetalGreymon growled before roared out. Both him and Blackout engaged a fierce brawling through punching and kicking at each other for couple of times.

As three teams continued battling the Decepticons, the Digidestineds and their partners realized that they Digivolve to their Ultimate Levels as well. Seven Digimon Partners digivolved to their Ultimate Levels. They now have gained the upper hand to push and defeat the enemies. Soundwave noticed the children were using the Digivice, making him suspicious and curious about the devices.

Ironhide tried to swing some punches at Starscream, who dodged and evaded the attacks while firing his missiles. As the black Autobot Warrior forced to block it, WereGarurumon jumped off and unleashed his Wolf Claws at Starscream's body. Slipstream, Skywarp and their Seeker Armada became relentless to continued pouring down the rain of beams and missiles at Jazz, Tetrax and Rook. Zudomon came to their aid by using Hammer Boomerang to knock them off. Barricade and Nautica fired their Gangster Buster and Sonic Turbo Blaster at their enemies but MagnaAngemon summoned the Gate of Destiny to absorb before fire it back at them, knocking them to the ground. Angewomon, Bumblebee and Moonracer fired their Celestial Arrow, Bee Buster and Lunar Blaster at them.

After barely escaping the attacks, Airachnid fired her webbing on her enemies but Garudamon fired her Wing Blade to burn them all before made impact on her. Lillymon was very small to fly around Knockout and Breakdown, who struggled to try to take her down until they struck on each other's faces. They got knocked out by Bluestreak and Bulkhead. MegatKabuterimon used his Horn Buster to charge and rammed Soundwave off while Ratchet punched and knocked the rest of his Minicons.

MetalGreymon and Blackout continued battling with each other fiercely and relentlessly for couple of rounds. They both then clashed and struck their left-handed Mega Claw and Rotor Blade for the moment. He tried to fire his Shockwave Cannon but the metallic dinosaur-like quickly bite and tore his right hand out, making him yelled in pain. He then swung and swiped his tail at him off. Blackout grunted in pain while trying to get up. MetalGreymon charged and attacked him. Both of them have a fierce and relentless brawling with each other for few rounds before the brute rammed and knocked the metal dinosaur off. He activated and fire his Heavy Bombard Cannon from his chest while the creature fired his Giga Storm. They both collided and clashed for the moment before it exploded and engulfed everything in smoke. As Blackout was recovering, he was shocked to find MetalGreymon charging in. Just as the Decepticon Brute tried to block the attack with his Rotor Blade, metallic dinosaur slashed his Mega Claw, cutting down his enemy's weapons and giving the latter a large scar on his left side. MetalGreymon unleashed his Giga Storm to knock him off.

Megatron was in shock and disbelief of what he saw, "Impossible! How can these abomination defeated my warriors so easily?!"

"Hey, buckethead! Head's up!" Jetray's voice shouted.

Megatron turned and found a large purple colored manta ray-like alien Ultimate Jetray with boosters-like on his back has charged in. He firmly rammed and knocked the Decepticon Lord for couple of rounds. Optimus Prime charged as he jumped and slammed a punch on him. He then gave couple of punches on him before grabbed and thrown him straight at other Decepticons.

Just as Megatron and his Decepticons were recovering, they found themselves surrounded by three teams. They all armed and readied to attack. Vehicon Troopers formed the defensive position to defend their commanders.

"(Japanese) Prodigious! We've got them!" Izzy exclaimed happily. Suddenly, Soundwave launched a tentacle to grab his Digivice. He yelped while reel it back in, "Hey! Let it go!"

Izzy struggled to reel his Digivice back. His friends and Team Ben came and helped him as well. Autobots and Ultimate Level Digimon armed and readied with their attacks at the Decepticons.

Rook grunted, "Why does he want with his device?!"

"Don't know! Can't afford to let him have it!" Tetrax grunted, "If Decepticons tried to access that device…"

"No telling what kind of power they might have!" Armorstrike finished his sentence.

Heard of what happen Ultimate Jetray hit his Omnitrix, he turned into Feedback. When he landed on the ground, he held on the cable as he remarked, "Soundwave, here's your Feedback for stealing property!"

Feedback unleashed his electrical shock on the cable, surging and flowing all the way back to Soundwave, electrocuting him. But at the same time, his attack also affected Izzy's Digivice, which unintentionally release its purple energy to flow all the way to the Decepticon. Upon receiving the unknow energy, Soundwave screamed in pain as his body began vibrating and surging wildly with his screen showing 'Error'. This shocked everyone to see him like this.

As his body glowed in dark purple color, Soundwave began to evolve and transforming his body now.

"SOUNDWAVE DIGIVOLVE TO… SOUNDBLASTER!"

As soon as the light dispersed, Soundwave revealed himself with new appearance – a bulky dark navy colored body with armored turret on his left shoulder, grayish colored stronger arms and dark navy legs but his head remained the same but with crimson colored visor. His new form shocked and surprised everyone.

"What the?!" Feedback asked in shock.

"(Japanese) He digivolve! A robot digivolve! Inconceivable!" Izzy exclaimed in disbelief. Everyone looked at him. He screamed, "RUN!"

It was too late. Soundblaster unleashed powerful deadly sonic wave of Death Sound Blast on Team Prime, Team Ben and Team Digidestineds. It knocked all of them unconsciousness including De-Digivolving Digimon Partners to Rookie Level. Feedback and Armorstrike reverted back to Ben, Julie and Ship. The Decepticons were deeply shocked and surprised by the event.

"That was unexpected…" Barricade said in surprise.

"Way to go, Soundwave," Knockout commented. He whistled while looking at Soundblaster's body, "Nice body. It's a very good look…"

"My name is Soundblaster…" Soundblaster said firmly, shocking the world. They didn't expect him talk since War for Cybertron. He turned and bowed before to his master, "Lord Megatron. Are you alright?"

"Y-Yes, Soundwave. No. Soundblaster," Megatron said firmly. He then looked around of his surroundings, "It is not what I expected, but this world intrigued me such as this new power to obtain."

Starscream was surprise, "Master, you don't suppose that it's time to begin operation here?"

"Yes…" Megatron confirmed. To him and his Decepticon's shock, they all got paralyzed and trapped by a strange dome-like. He demanded, "W-What is this?! I demand to be out now!"

The Decepticons angrily screamed and demanded to get out. Just as Team Prime, Team Ben and Team Digidestined recovered and regained their conscience, they saw a group of four Doumon appeared before the large dome's four sides. They were chanting calmly and firmly. And before anyone could do anything, they and the dome have teleported out at once.

Though shocked and surprised by sudden event, Team Ben and their allies sighed in relief that they have survived Soundblaster's attack.

"Is everyone alright?" Optimus Prime asked. Everyone answered calmly, though they felt pain. He sighed, "What a relief."

"That was close…" Ben commented, "But… What was that about?"

Julie nodded in agreement, "Yeah. Since when did Cybertronians evolved into more powerful being?"

"(Japanese) That's what we would like to know," Tai asked in agreement, "Who are you all?"

Sora looked at Ben and Julie, "(Japanese) And also, what are you guys? Were you humans or some kind of Digimon?"

Both Ben and Julie looked awkward and uneasy. He answered, "(Japanese) Well, not exactly Digimon for sure."

"I'm sure all of you have some explanation for each other." A familiar voice answered calmly, surprising everyone. They turned and looked behind as they found Professor Paradox stood before them. He smiled, "But for the moment. The fate of Multiverse rest in you all."

"(Japanese) Huh?! Another human?!" Digidestineds and Digimon Partners asked in surprise.

"Professor Paradox?" Ben and Julie asked in surprise.

Professor Paradox explained, "It's good to see everyone's alive and well."

Four Doumons and his captives of the Decepticons reappeared at the unknown dark yet wasteland-like courtyard of dark medieval castle-like. They snapped their fingers, deactivating dome-like shield that freed them out. They all found themselves to be surrounded by Bakemon, Vilemon, Dokugumon and Devidramon. This prompted the Decepticons armed and aimed their weapons at them. This frightened and scared them a bit, though readied to engage them.

Barricade groaned, "Great we're surrounded."

Angered over his defeat to MetalGreymon, Blackout snarled while armed with his Marauder Gatling Gunner, "Well, I could use some target practice. I'm in foul mood now."

"Wow. Blackout's pissed," Breakdown commented in shock, "I forgot how much I'm scared of that."

"Where on Cybertron are we?!" Knockout demanded while looking at the castle's decoration. He groaned, "How horrified of this place. Not my type."

Airachnid scoffed, "I like it. It suits me well."

"Yo. Starscream, what the hell are these things?" Skywarp asked in confusion.

Slipstream nodded angrily, "Yeah. So, what should we do, commander?"

Starscream groaned in annoyance, "Must you two be so annoying?!" He turned and looked at Megatron, "Orders, Lord Megatron."

Megatron was annoyed and angry as he demanded, "I demand to know why have you brought us! What do you intent to do with us?!"

"Perhaps, forging an alliance between us, my friend," The calm and smoothing yet sinister voice spoke. The Decepticons turned and looked at the castle's entrance. They found Myotismon, DemiDevimon and Phantomon emerged out. He smirked, "I'm interested of how your warrior able to achieve the power of 'Digivolution'. I could help you achieve it and gain your new powerful form."

The word of 'Digivolution' and its capabilities made the Decepticons including Megatron intrigued and curious. The Lord of Decepticons turned and faced Myotismon.

"Very well, Megatron, the Lord of Decepticons has accepted your invitation and guidance." Megatron agreed firmly. Myotismon smiled in pleasant that the Lord of Decepticons agreed for the alliance and guidance. He asked, "However, there's one question I must know – your name."

Myotismon bowed humbly and respectfully, "My name is Myotismon, Lord of the Dark Land and King of all Dark Digimon. It is an honor to have a great lord among the Digital World."

(Mainstream Prime Universe)

Both Autobots and Plumbers were patrolling and guarding the warehouse, leading by Aerialbots, Whirl, I'M Werfzel and Molly. Jolt and medic staffs were sent there to check and treat the wounded ones. Perceptor, Thundercracker, Cooper and Elena also came as they were checking and repairing the Dimension Bridge.

Grandpa Max, Jack and Miko were standing still while looking at Dimension Bridge. He was discussing and strategizing with Magister Patelliday and Commander Epps of what they need to do with Decepticons if they return to retake their project.

Miko hissed in concern, "I hope Raf's alright."

"Me too, Miko. I can't believe he took the hit for us," Jack said in upset tone. He groaned in frustration while glaring at Miko, "This is all your fault, Miko! If you hadn't left the base, none of this could have happen!"

Angered and annoyed, Miko snapped, "I'm sorry! Whose fault?! Did I ask you to come?! Did I ask you to work with me?! Did I even ask you go and fight the Cons?! None! In fact, this is your fault for wanting to stay here and help Optimus!"

"Only because you won't listen to me again! You always ignore everyone's concerns and warning! You're always selfish and ignorant!"

"Says to the guy, who thinks himself to be mature and responsible for everyone when it has nothing to do with him!"

"Yes, it does! We got caught in the Great Cybertronian War by accident! I want to make sure that we survived it! I'm not a soldier!"

"Well, then don't be one! Be the way you wanted like always! You're nothing like your father, Jack!" Miko snapped angrily. Jack looked in shock yet hurt of her mentioning him. Realizing of her mistakes, she hissed in shame "Jack, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-!"

Jack interrupted, "You're right, Miko. I'm not a soldier. In fact, I'll never be like my father. At least, I'm responsible as he is to look after my own team, no matter how much trouble they've caused."

Though feel ashamed and guilty for comparing Jack to his deceased father, Miko was surprised by his resolve and response. She sighed, "Jack, I'm sorry. I really am."

"Yeah. I'm sure you are," Jack said in doubts yet understanding. While looking at Gwen, he continued, "Right now, we have to find out and check if Raf's alright and is with our friends. That's our priority now."

Miko nodded sadly, "Yeah."

"About time you stop your silly argument," Grandpa Max said calmly, surprising Jack and Miko. He sighed, "You two handle the argument well than my grandchildren. That gives me a headache when we started the road trip."

"Yeah, sure," Jack said uncertainly, "Mr. Tennyson, we're sorry for sneaking to get here. I take responsible for this."

Miko shook her head, "No. I started this mess. It's my responsible, not his."

"Well, I hope you guys learn this lesson and not repeated it again." Grandpa Max said firmly. Jack and Miko looked at the Dimension Bridge, wondering of Raf's condition. He patted them by their shoulders, "Don't worry. He'll be safe. He's with Team Prime and Team Ben. They'll protect him."

Jack and Miko nodded in agreement, "Yeah…"

(Digital World 2020 Universe)

Team Ben, Team Prime and Team Digidestineds were in surprise and shock to see Professor Paradox here so suddenly.

"Professor, what do you mean 'the fate of Multiverse rest in you all'?" Ben asked in confusion.

Optimus Prime hummed in concern and uneasy, "Does this have to do with our arrival to this world?"

"I'm afraid so," Professor Paradox nodded firmly of confirmation. Everyone chattered and muttered in concern about the latest situation. They even asked about it. He held his hand out, "Before we could proceed, we need to do something with our translation that everyone can understand."

Everyone was confused by his statement. Professor Paradox raised and slammed his walking stick to the ground, causing it vibrated briefly. The whole floor glowed in blue brightly before unleashed its energized waves vertically, affecting everyone around. As soon as the glowing light dispersed, everyone checked on themselves if there were any changes on them or not. But so far, it looked normal.

"Nothing changes…" Ben commented.

"Yeah, no kidding. What's up with that?" The young yet confident spoke in robotic tone, shocking everyone. They all turned and looked at Bumblebee. He beeped, "What? Why are you looking at me?"

"Bumblebee…" Ratchet said in disbelief.

"Y-Your voice." Arcee said in surprise.

"My voice? What do you mean-! My voice?!" Bumblebee asked in surprise yet confusion. Just as he deactivated his battle mask, his mouth revealed to be badly damaged with dried Energon blood spilled around it. As he speaks, to him and everyone's shock, nothing comes out from it. He was shocked yet hurt. He looked down before putting the battle mask on. He sighed, "I thought I have my pipes back. Guess I'm not fully healed."

"Even so, I finally get the chance to hear your real voice," Raf said firmly.

"Is this how you sounded like before?" Moonracer asked curiously. Bumblebee nodded a bit. She smiled, "Cool. You sounded like a brave warrior as I imagined. I like it, Bee."

Bumblebee chuckled nervously with blush, "Thanks, Moonracer."

"Still, what was that energy wave?" Rook asked, "What did it do to us?"

Julie nodded, "Yeah, like how we all understand Bumblebee in his normal voice-like?"

Raf hummed thoughtfully, "Professor Paradox did mention 'our translations', so-!"

"It's possible that the energy wave affects and make all of us to understand each other's languages, without the computer's voice translation," Izzy completed Raf's sentence. This surprise everyone and even himself. He gasped, "Prodigious! Guess that completes our theory."

Raf nodded, "It is."

Professor Paradox nodded, "That is correct. The Power of Digital World works in mysterious ways or wonderous as they said."

"Wow! We can understand you guys in English!" Ben exclaimed in surprise.

"No offense, pal. I think it's other way around," Matt disagreed, "All I heard is you guys talk in Japanese."

"Either way, we understand each other now," Tai said firmly, "Guess we don't need to do some serious translation now."

Sora nodded in agreement, "Tai's right. There won't be any miscommunication between us or even using sign language for the conversation."

"Yeah. We can understand each other perfectly fine. Heck, I always wonder if robot means food. I'm kinda hungry," Agumon said happily. Everyone facefaulted in disbelief by him. He asked, "Did I said something wrong?"

"What's up with this dino guy?" Ben asked in disbelief.

"Is the food that lizard can think about?" Bulkhead asked in surprise.

Biyomon sighed, "That's Agumon. He always hungry and thinks about food."

"Unbelievable…" Bluestreak said in disbelief, making the rest of Team Ben and Team Prime chattered and nodded in agreement.

"Now, now, no need to start the argument. Now that everyone can finally understand each other without a problem." Professor Paradox said firmly, getting everyone's attention, "We have important matters to discuss."

"And you are?" Matt asked suspiciously.

"Professor Paradox. A time travel and a friend to Ben 10 and his friends, "Professor Paradox introduced himself with a bow. He continued, "No doubt that both Team Prime and Team Ben are aware, you're all at the different parallel dimension."

Digidestineds and Digimon Partners were surprised while Team Prime and Team Ben remained firm and calm about the situation.

"What's parallel dimension, Koushiro?" Tentomon asked in confusion.

Izzy answered, "Parallel Dimension means another world that is quite almost similar to ours but different surroundings and appearance such as My world, Network World, Digital World."

Tentomon awed, "I see."

"So, we're on another world? I figure that much," Ben commented seriously.

Optimus Prime hummed in concerns and thoughts, "Indeed. Megatron's plan is to seek out and bring all of his dimensional counterparts to our world, so that he can fused and combined them to become powerful being."

"Indeed, it is," Professor Paradox said firmly and seriously, "Thankfully, you have temporarily prevented it."

"What do you mean 'temporarily', Professor?" Rook asked in confusion.

Matt nodded in agreement, "Yeah. It's not like he can asked someone from his home to pick him up and try again with his plan."

Bulkhead scoffed, "If they ever can get help from our dimension."

"I'm afraid there's much worse than that, young Matt and Bulkhead." Professor Paradox said seriously, concerning everyone. He continued, "Since arriving here, Megatron has discovered the power of 'Digivolution' of this world. And now, he attempts to use it for his conquest."

Digidestineds and Digimon Partners were alerted and worried while the rest of Team Prime and Team Ben were confused yet uneasy and serious. None of them gonna like what Professor Paradox might say.

"'Digivolution'? As in 'Evolution' process?" Moonracer asked in concern and confusion.

"Yes, that is correct, Moonracer. You all saw what happened to Soundwave," Professor Paradox said seriously and firmly. Everyone nodded worriedly. He continued, "If Megatron learn and master that kind of power, he will evolve and transcend into a more powerful form."

"That's not good," Tetrax, Jazz, Rook, Joe and Gomamon said in fear.

"Can he do that?" Mimi asked in confusion.

"Theoretically, it's possible. Like some kind of upgrade," Raf answered calmly, "Cybertronians don't evolve naturally like ordinary creatures. They just removed and replaced the parts on their bodies."

Izzy hummed in concern, "It is true. But this is our first time to see a robot able to Digivolve, despite it's not a native of this world or even partnered with a human that has the Digivice."

"Great. Three nerds with one big brain…" Ben commented in surprise. Rook glared at him. He asked, "What? It's true. You're also nerd for knowing everything."

Rook was annoyed, "That is not true."

"Either way, that sounds very bad," Tentomon said in concern.

Palmon gulped, "I don't like to imagine how scary this M-Megatron become when he gets his own Digivolution."

Professor Paradox shook his head, "Indeed, it is or will be terrifying and horrendous. He won't just stop there. He will continue with his plans by travelling to not only his counterparts' dimensions, but across the multiverse, seeking out and fusing with any powerful beings. He will become the most powerful and destructive deity that will destroy the whole multiverse. No one can stop him. Everything will cease to exist."

"H-How horrible!" Patamon exclaimed in concern.

Gatomon hissed in anger, "Just like Millenniumon. Craved for destruction of the worlds."

"Dang it. This will never end," TK said in upset tone as he held Patamon close to him.

"Yeah, we just barely got out and win the fight against a very large monster." Kari nodded fearfully while patted Gatomon's head, "Not to mention, we're not sure if Gatomon and Patamon will get that Mega Level again."

"Or worse, if we can ever get to use Omnimon to stop him," Matt said in concern.

Tai hummed seriously, "Guess we have to stop Megatron and his goons before they get their Digivolution, right?"

"Yes, young lad. That would be it," Professor Paradox said firmly, "You all must prevent Megatron from reaching his full potential of Digivolution, as well as bringing him and his forces back to original dimension. The last thing you want is disrupt this dimension's balance."

Optimus Prime nodded firmly, "Understood. Team Ben and Team Prime will stop Megatron. It is our responsibility and duty."

"I think you misunderstand my meaning of 'you all'. Not just both of your team, but also Digidestineds and their partners as well," Professor Paradox said seriously and firmly, shocking his allies. Most of Team Ben and Team Prime objected his idea of bringing children into their fight. He spoke firmly, "I understand that you're all against this idea. But without their help, all of you will be defeated and dead."

"How can you be certain of that?" Ratchet asked in doubtful tone.

"Somehow I doubt of that," Tetrax said in concern and doubts.

Ironhide nodded in agreement, "Even if it's true, what makes you think that they can help us beat the Cons?"

"Hate to burst your engine block, our Digimons have saved your tailpipes while kicking the bad guys," Matt said sternly yet annoyingly, "Or have you forgotten that already, old timer."

"Yamato! Don't offend the big guy with big weapons!" Gabumon softly scolded Matt.

TK nodded firmly, "Yeah. He's just looking out for us."

Ironhide scoffed, "Big talk come from the kid and his doggy. Care to put your words into action?"

Matt was annoyed, "I would like nothing more to show you why we're not just some helpless and scared kids."

Before Matt and Ironhide could continue the argument, Bluestreak come in-between them, "That's enough, both of you! We have bigger concerns to deal with! We shouldn't fight among ourselves!"

"Bluestreak's right." Optimus Prime said firmly and calmly while looking at Professor Paradox, "I still do not understand why you insist to have them join us in the fight."

"Because they are the key of helping you eight activate and access your evolved forms," Professor Paradox said firmly while pointing at Team Prime. Everyone was surprised. He continued, "Yes, that is true. Remember, the Decepticons aren't the only Cybertronians to obtain the Digivolution. You all must work together as one to defeat your common enemy. That is the key of unlocking your hidden powers."

"Is that even possible?" Julie asked in surprise.

Arcee whistled, "I did not expect that…"

"Indeed. I didn't think about the Autobots can 'Digivolve' as well," Rook admitted in surprise, "Still it might be difficult to do so, without knowing how to achieve it."

Bluestreak nodded, "Not to mention, we're heavily outnumbered and outmatched against the Decepticons."

Bulkhead fist bump on Bluestreak's back, "No worries. We can handle it, Blue."

"I'm certain that you all will find the way. Just remember what I've told you. You all must work together as one," Professor Paradox said firmly yet calmly. He turned and looked at Ben, Optimus Prime, Tai, Agumon, Matt and Gabumon. He continued, "Especially you six. You all will gain a more powerful form than your friends. It might be the only chance to stop Megatron if he succeeds his digivolution."

The leaders of three teams were surprise yet uneasy about it. Tai rubbed his head, "I think you're giving us too much of credit that we can pull this off, Professor."

"Don't be modest, Tai. We've beaten the odds more times than we count," Matt said firmly and calmly while patted his best friend, "I'm sure we can do it again."

"Wow. Aren't you confident of this?"

"That's because you, Gabumon and our guys are my friends. I trusted you guys, and believe in you all. We can pull it off."

"Boy, Matt's like a real grown up," Agumon commented in surprise.

Gabumon nodded and teased, "Now only if he cuts his hair."

Irritated, Matt commented teasingly, "Careful, Gabumon, if I get haircut, then you'll also have to take off your fur for good to show us what you really look like."

Gabumon snapped frantically, "No way! Not a chance! Not gonna happen!"

Ben turned and looked at Professor Paradox, "You really think we can pull it off?"

"I'm certain you can, Ben," Professor Paradox said calmly. He then noticed Joe smiled nervously as he was about to ask. He answered firmly, "No, Joe, I cannot bring you back to your home. I'm not allowed to because the entity of this dimension won't allow it."

Joe yelped in disappointment, "Aw, come on. I think we've had enough with crazy adventure here. We deserve some break."

"Not all of us can catch a break, kid," Ironhide said firmly and sternly, "As long there's mission or war going on, we have to be ready and deal with them."

Ratchet nodded in agreement, "Ironhide's right. It will never end until a great threat has been dealt with."

Joe was disappointed and upset. Gomamon jumped on his back while smiling at him, "Have faith, Joe. Everything will be alright. After all, you're the leader this group need."

After some thoughts of Gomamon's words, Joe smiled a bit, "Yeah, you're right. They need me because I'm reliable leader of this team."

Gomamon chuckled a bit, "That's the spirit."

"I still don't know why he consider himself a leader," Rook whispered to Tetrax, "He doesn't look like one."

Tetrax shrugged, "Who knows? Every leader got their own style to lead the team."

"Now that I've said my piece. It's time for you to go. Head to the west. That's where you'll find Megatron and his army. No doubt he's trying to learn and master the power from their new ally," Professor Paradox said firmly. He turned to Optimus Prime. He sternly warned, "And Optimus, an advice to you. Do not use the Power of the Primes again. It will put your life at risk."

Optimus Prime was shocked and surprised by Professor Paradox's warning and knowledge over the 'Power of the Primes'. His warning worried almost everyone including Ben. He knows the tone well. It means it's very serious.

Professor Paradox suddenly change his serious mood to friendly while waving goodbye to his friends, "Toodle-oo, everyone."

Professor Paradox teleported and disappeared in front of everyone's sight, surprising almost everyone but Ben. He used to it because Professor Paradox

"He's so weird…" Mimi commented.

"Mimi! Respect the elders!" Sora scolded Mimi, "He's helping us. If it was your grandfather, would you call him that?"

Mimi sighed, "I know. I know. I'm sorry."

"But still, like he said, we're in pickle," Jazz commented in concern.

Everyone was still shocked and surprised of the latest event. They looked at each other, wondering yet having concerns and doubts of the situation. Team Digidestineds were worried and scared of the new enemy to deal with. The Autobots also uncertain if they can achieve their evolved forms as well. Team Ben also scared and doubtful of their capabilities to fight the Decepticons and their evolved forms.

Optimus Prime, Ben, Tai and Agumon were looking at the west, which leads them to another dark forest and mountains. They all have serious and firm expression of what they have to do.

"I'm guessing we head that way?" Ben asked calmly.

Optimus Prime nodded in agreement, "Indeed. Whoever this unknown enemy has kidnapped Megatron and his Decepticons as he has interest and plans for them. He has no doubt attempt to teach him the power of 'Digivolution'."

"I can bet it's another evil Digimon. I have the feeling that he might be planning something bad for Digital World and Real World," Tai said firmly while crossed his arms. He turned and looked at Optimus Prime and Ben, who glanced back. He continued, "Guess we're working together to stop them, right?"

"I supposed so…" Optimus Prime said firmly yet concerned. He asked, "However, I do not like the idea of putting you and your friends in danger especially when we're battling with the Decepticons."

Ben nodded seriously, "Yeah. OP's right. This isn't adventure or games that you guys were having here."

"Well, we're not actually doing anything adventurous and fun here. In fact, we're trying to save both worlds from couple of Evil Digimons," Tai corrected Optimus Prime and Ben. This surprised them both. He continued, "Yeah. It's a lot of take in. Trust me. We're not some defenseless kids."

Agumon nodded, "Yeah! As long I'm here, I'll protect Taichi, no matter how strong and tough the bad guys are! Plus, he's the reason why I Digivolve to Mega Level! He and I are the team."

"Well, I don't doubt you guys. I've been through that when I was 10." Ben commented with a smile. He continued with realization, "Speaking of the team, I'm Ben Tennyson or Ben 10. These are Julie – my girlfriend, my partner – Rook, my mentor – Tetrax and senior and cop Bluestreak."

Optimus Prime knelt down, "My name is Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. These are my allies and family – first lieutenant Jazz, weapon specialist Ironhide, medical officer Ratchet, Wrecker Warrior Bulkhead, my right-hand woman Arcee, scout Bumblebee and technician Moonracer."

Tai smiled warmly, "I'm Taichi Kamiya. You can call me 'Tai'. This is my partner – Agumon. These are my sister Hikari, her partner Gatomon and my friends – Sora, Biyomon, Yamato, Gabumon, Koushiro, Tentomon, Mimi, Palmon, Joe, Gomamon, Takeru, Patamon and our big doggy transport – Komondomon."

Everyone greeted to each other warmly and friendly, though some get tensed and often mocked to each other such as lone-wolf Matt and stern Ironhide, high-classed Mimi and humble Bulkhead, grumpy Ratchet and timid Izzy. Digidestineds gave their nicknames such as Yamato's nickname is Matt, Koushiro used his username – Izzy, Takeru and Hikari shortened his as TK and Kari.

"Now that we're done with introduction. We should get going," Ironhide said firmly, "We need to deal with the Cons."

Matt nodded firmly while crossed his arms, "The old timer's right. Time's wasting. Our enemy is now trying to crack the Digivolution Code."

"Who are you calling 'old timer', runt?!"

"Aren't you look like one, old timer?!"

Ironhide groaned in annoyance by Matt's insults. Everyone sans Optimus Prime stifled their laughter at the scene.

"We might have a problem," Rook reported in concern. Everyone turned and looked at him. He was checking on Komondomon's condition – four of injured legs and some bruise on his body. He continued, "Komondomon suffered some bruises and injured legs."

Komondomon whined unhappily and sadly that he suffered injuries. Kari and Gatomon approached to pat him, comforting him that he'll be alright.

"Ratchet, can you treat Komondomon's injuries?" Optimus Prime asked.

"Treating an organic's injuries?" Ratchet asked in surprise and disbelief. He scoffed, "Unlikely. Even though the Cybertronian and Organic share the similar structure, I don't have the knowledge of medication to apply on organic skin."

"I do." Joe answered while raised his hand, "I might have some ointment, bandages and medication to help out."

Rook raised his hand up, "I too have knowledge of healing the injuries."

"Alright. Assist me in this operation," Ratchet said firmly.

Gomamon cheered, "Way to go, Joe! Always the reliable!"

Joe chuckled nervously. Both Rook and Gomamon moved and guided him towards Komondomon. Ratchet gently lift Komondomon from the back, allowing Rook, Joe and Gomamon to check and treat his injuries.

"In the meantime, we should build the wagon for Komondomon, so we can continue with our mission," Ironhide suggested firmly. This surprised the Digidestineds and their partners. He scoffed, "What? We're not leaving anyone behind."

Matt whistled, "Wow. I didn't know old timer like you care very much for the Digimon."

"What'd you say?!" Ironhide asked angrily.

"Come on, Yamato! Be nice to him!" Gabumon softly scolded Matt, "He's helping us."

Matt rolled his eyes in annoyance while crossed his arms, "Whatever."

Ironhide groaned, "That kid got some attitude problem!"

"Calm down, Ironhide. There's no need to get upset over this," Optimus Prime calmed his friend down. Ironhide is now calmed. He continued, "As you have said, we should build the wagon for Komondomon. We won't leave anyone behind. Bulkhead, we require your construction expertise for wagon."

Bulkhead smiled proudly, "You got it, Optimus. Leave it to me!"

With Bulkhead's expertise on construction, he and his friends chopped down some trees as they measured up and built all logs into a large wagon. This took them an hour to complete it. And at the same time, Ratchet and his medic team have successfully treated and bandaged up Komondomon.

Ratchet, Ironhide, Bulkhead and Humungousaur helped carrying and loading the dog-like Digimon on the wagon. Aftermath, he happily licked on five of them, surprising and amusing them but Ratchet and Ironhide were annoyed.

Ratchet groaned, "Disgusting!"

"Tell me about it," Ironhide grumbled in annoyance.

Humungousaur helped tying the ropes between the wagon and the Autobots' vehicle modes – mostly Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Bulkhead, Bluestreak, Ironhide and Ratchet. Team Digidestineds, Team Ben and Raf climbed aboard on it. All of the Autobots started and revved up their engines.

"Autobots, Roll Out!" Optimus Prime ordered firmly.

The Autobots rolled out at once, dragging and bringing the carriage wagon-like. They're now heading off to the west.

---

At the Vampire Land, both Myotismon and Decepticons have formed the alliance for knowledge and obtain the power of 'Digivolution', and also fight against three enemy factions as well. Both Decepticons and Myotismon's Army are working on their duties now.

Barricade and his recon units were scouting and securing the open wasteland field-like, forest, small hills, lake with river routes and even caverns. They were assisted by Bakemon Squadron. The army of both Vilemon and Dokugomon assisted Knockout, Breakdown and the rest of miners to mine and loaded up the Energon Crystals including boulders, rocks, fruits, vegetables and even bottling up some of water in. In the castle's basement, Nautica and her scientists were analyzing and experimenting the minerals, which strangely containing Energon energy and readings within, with the help of four Doumon. Slipstream, Skywarp, Seeker Armada, Vehicon Troopers and Devidramon were patrolling and guarding Myotismon's Castle. Oddly enough, Blackout went off to the dark woods without getting the medical attention since he was in foul mood.

Walking down the castle's hallway, Megatron and Myotismon were having discussion over the 'Digimon', 'Digital World' and 'Digivolution Process'. This has made the Decepticon Lord interested and amused of the topics. Starscream, Soundblaster, Airachnid, DemiDevimon and Phantomon were following and accompanying their masters while keeping their eyes on each other due to their suspicious and weariness of the alliance.

"Truly intriguing and impressive topic you have, Lord Myotismon," Megatron commented calmly with a smirk, "Who would have thought that the Digivolution could possess such powerful energy source? All just to become a powerful being at the highest level."

Myotismon nodded firmly, "Indeed, Lord Megatron. The Mega Level is Digimon's highest Digivolution Level. It is more powerful than others levels such as Ultimate, Champion, Rookie, In-training and Fresh Level. Many Digimon strived to achieve that goal by training, battles against the odds and harvesting the weaklings. It is their dream and desire to become the strongest Digimon in this world."

"The Strong Survive, the Weak Perish. How interesting. Much similar to how we done in my time. Tell me, Lord Myotismon, is it possible for us to achieve that Digivolution?"

"Truthfully, Lord Megatron, I do not know. As far as I know, Soundwave's the only Decepticon capable to do that. That much say if this world can truly provide this 'Energon' you require to resupply your fuel, ammunition and stock."

"True. Indeed. This is why I have Nautica to research on your world, and whether it is suitable for us to use." Megatron said calmly. He then received the call. He responded it, "Speak of the engineer… Report, Nautica."

"Lord Megatron, I've conducted research and experiment on these minerals and even Digimon captives." Nautica reported. She continued, "As it turns out that this world and even the Digimon are confirmed to have Energon power source since they're all made of pure data and energy."

Megatron raised his eyebrow in suspicious yet intrigued, "Data? Energy? These organic beings? Are you certain of it?"

"Indeed, sir. I've made the experiment five times. I even tasted it as well. The result is the same. Therefore, it might be possible for us to use the DigiEnergon to access the Digivolution process."

"DigiEnergon?"

"Yes, Lord Megatron, I dubbed them. Though the DigiEnergon and regular Energon share the similarity, the former possessed more highly and advanced concentrated power than the latter. This increases individual's strength, speed, mental and even gain new ability within. But it also transforms and modifies its appearance and size into more advanced and stronger physical being to stabilize and handle its new power. Soundblaster is Soundwave's evolved form now. The DigiEnergon is indeed the most advance and powerful energy source we have ever come across…"

Megatron became pleased of the results, "Excellent, Nautica. Once again, your scientific research has proven valid asset to our cause. You may yet surpass your predecessor Shockwave. He would be please of this result as well."

"Thank you, Lord Megatron," Nautica said calmly, "What should we do with it?"

"Bring me the sample. I would like to add this new power to myself," Megatron commanded.

"Yes, Lord Megatron," Nautica said firmly with hint of concerns.

DemiDevimon groaned, "Great… Just what we need."

"That answers the question," Starscream commented, "So, now we can evolve to our new forms. I look forward to become the Super Starscream again."

Airachnid smirked, "Why? Afraid that your scrawny size of yours can't handle the big boys' toys? I think I should deserve that power since I'm a capable Decepticon for getting the mission done."

Starscream shouted, "Silence, Airachnid! Do not speak to me with that tone again!"

"Why?! Because you're Second-in-Command to Lord Megatron?" Airachnid mocked before scoffed, "Pathetic. You couldn't even get your hand dirty to deal with Autobots. Always run from the fight."

Starscream snarled while armed with his claws, "Why you, impudent-!"

"That is enough!" Soundblaster commanded firmly, silencing Starscream and Airachnid. He grabbed and held them both. He continued, "Neither of you are allow to possess the DigiEnergon until Lord Megatron give the command, regardless of your ranks. Failure to comply will not be tolerated!"

Starscream and Airachnid grunted in pain, "U-Understood…"

Soundblaster let go of his bare hands to drop Starscream and Airachnid down. DemiDevimon laughed hysterically and amusingly, annoying both to fire their blasters at him. He barely dodged them. He angrily glared at them. They scoffed with a smirk at him.

"It appears you now have the answer about the Digital World possess the Energon," Myotismon commented calmly, "So, you can now access the Digivolution with the help of this DigiEnergon."

"Perhaps. Injecting the new Energon into my system is not a problem but to access the Digivolution is," Megatron said firmly, surprised Myotismon. He continued, "I require proper guidance if I were to access and gain new form with new power. Wouldn't you say, Lord Myotismon?"

Myotismon smiled as he bowed humbly, "I am humbly to help and guide you, Lord Megatron. In return for asking my cooperation and teaching, would you not help me defeat the Digidestineds and their partners?"

"The very same children and their Digimon that defeated us?" Megatron asked firmly. Myotismon nodded in confirmation. He growled a bit, "Very well, we shall deal with them. They shall pay for the humiliation we have suffered. Optimus Prime, Ben, the children and their allies shall fall to our hands."

Myotismon smirked, "Yes…"

Receiving another contact, Megatron responded to the call. Knockout reported, "Lord Megatron! We've found something that might interest you. It would be best that you and Lord Myotismon come here and see it."

---

Megatron, Myotismon and their minions have left the castle and headed straight to Knockout's location – the steep rocky mountain with couple of boulders and small rocks. They arrived and met up with Knockout and Breakdown.

"What is it that you wish me to see, Knockout?" Megatron asked firmly with hint of impatient tone, "This better be good for bringing me here."

"Well, I assure you that Breakdown and I found something intriguing to you and Lord Myotismon," Knockout commented while pointed at the mountain's bottom that has some boulders. He continued, "I think you might like it."

Though doubtful, Megatron and Myotismon approached to the couple of boulders at mountain's bottom. The Vehicon Miners, Dokugomon and Vilemon were digging and moving the rocks but moved aside. Just as two lords approached to it, they both looked shock and surprise as they found a titan-like Digimon corpse worn a badly damaged black knight armor-like with damaged golden wings.

"It cannot be…" Myotismon said in disbelief yet surprise. Everyone looked at him. He smiled, "To think that we actually stumble upon one of the legendary warriors from the ancient time…"

"Say what?" Breakdown asked in confusion.

Knockout shrugged, "No clue. Do you know something about it?"

"Know it?! We've read and heard about him! And he's not an 'it'!" DemiDevimon snapped at Knockout and Breakdown, shocking them both. He turned and looked at the Digimon Corpse. He continued, "That's Alphamon from Royal Knights of Digital World! He's the most powerful and strongest Mega-Level Digimon among his group! Trust me on this, Mr. Shiny! You don't wanna mess with him, otherwise, your paintjob is the least of your worries!"

Knockout screamed in shock and surprise while hiding behind Breakdown's back. He quivered in fear of thinking about how powerful Alphamon is. Breakdown also scared of him as well despite him being a muscle and brute of the team.

"Alphamon, huh? How interesting…" Megatron remarked with a chuckle. He then noticed something shinned brightly in red inside Alphamon's damaged chest. He hummed, "Well, well, what do we have here?"

---

While continued travelling down through the steep and rough road; Team Ben, Team Prime and Team Digidestineds were having the discussion with each other over their adventures and battles. The Autobots used their commlinks to connect wirelessly with Izzy's computer for listening and conversation.

Team Digidestineds were amazed by two heroic factions' stories. Both Team Ben and Team Prime were surprised yet astonished and amazed by Digidestined's story and battles, though Optimus Prime has mixed feelings of impressive and astounding yet concern and discomforted of it.

"T-This is crazy, yo…" Jazz commented in surprise.

"Wow. You guys sure been through a lot," Ben commented in surprise while crossed his arms, "And I thought we got the worse from my home."

Joe groaned, "Tell me about it. There are some things I rather not talk about."

Gomamon nodded in agreement, "Yeah. The embarrassing part…"

Sora sighed, "I admit. Some battles we fought can be scary and dangerous, others were just silly misunderstanding, and a few is to help some innocents."

"Well, like I've said before, we're not some defenseless kids," Tai said firmly and calmly while patted Agumon's head, "As long we have our Digimon with us, we'll be safe and alright."

"Yeah. Those bad Digimon will think twice if they hurt Tai," Agumon said firmly, "We may be small, but we're much tougher than I look.

Digimon Partners cheered, "YEAH!"

"Wow. Now that's what I called 'Wreckers Style'," Bulkhead commented.

"Yeah." Bumblebee agreed, "No matter how tough the situation, you guys never back down. You guys are something."

"Not to mention, you girls got some power too," Arcee commented, making Sora, Mimi, Kari and their Digimon Partners blushed and smiled of it.

Optimus Prime hummed in concern, "While I was impressed and amazed of your courage, compassion, determination and teamwork for standing up and facing Evil Digimon, I do not approve of putting you all at risk to engage them or saving the lives. It's very dangerous, reckless and unacceptable action that could lead you to death."

"Optimus Prime's right. Who in the right mind to do that?" Tetrax questioned sternly, "This entity doesn't have the sense of morality and responsibility for you…"

Digidestineds and Digimon Partners hummed in concern. Matt sighed, "It's not like we have the choice."

"Yeah. I'd never want to be here in the place or even want to be a hero in the first place!" Mimi complained in upset tone. She then found Palmon was upset. She quickly held and hugged her. She continued, "However, I'm not alone because I have a friend like you, Palmon."

Palmon smiled in relief, "Thanks, Mimi."

"Believe us, Mr. Autobots, none of us wanted to put them in this situation," Gabumon admitted in concern, "But someone has to do it. So, it's up to us."

Matt nodded firmly, "Yeah. As long we have our friends with us, we'll be fine."

Optimus Prime was having doubts and concerns but reluctantly said, "Understood. But always remember to stay close together."

Raf was looking around of his surroundings of forest, riverside and clear sky. He was in shock and disbelief of what he was looking at.

"I'm guessing that you have a hard time to believe it?" Tentomon asked.

"Yeah. I'd never imagine that Digital World and Digimon were created inside the computer network. Even though they're all made of data bytes, they looked so real," Raf commented in surprise. He took a deep breath to smell it. He sighed, "The air smells very fresh too."

"Indeed. I have a hard time to believe too," Ratchet agreed, "Perceptor and Thundercracker would love this place."

"Not to mention, this place is very beautiful. I love nature so much," Moonracer commented happily. When she saw some small and cute Digimon passing them by, she awed happily and cutely, "Aw! So cute! I love cute animals. My friends would like them too!"

Bluestreak sweat-dropped and sighed, "I don't think I understand why you fembots like cute stuffs. It's beyond my understanding…"

Ironhide groaned, "Just what I need – another nature."

"Why would you say that, Ironhide?"

"Coz the nature messed up with my weapons. I always end up cleaning them, making sure they're cleaned, shinny and function enough to work."

"I see. I hate to see how bad it goes when the mother nature tested you."

"I would like to see her try on me again!"

"Even though the world is made of data, meeting and making friends with Tentomon and them is real," Izzy said proudly while patting Tentomon, who felt flustered about it.

Tentomon sniffed a bit, almost feel like crying, "Geez, Koushiro. I felt like I'm gonna cry again."

Kari said firmly yet happily while holding and patting Gatomon's head, "They're real to me especially Gatomon is my best friend."

"I feel the same, Kari," Gatomon agreed.

"Me too!" TK exclaimed while hugging Patamon.

Patamon nodded happily, "Me three, TK!"

"All of us feel the same way too," Sora said calmly while holding Biyomon, "The Digimon will always be our partners and best friend."

Biyomon awed happily while hugging Sora, "I feel the same way too! I love you, Sora!"

Julie couldn't help but smile at the scene while patting Ship, "I know how you guys felt. Ship maybe an alien from outer space, but he's my pet and best friend." Ship purred happily as he slithered to her shoulder before nuzzled her by neck. She giggled, "Thank you, Ship."

"Still, what about your parents?" Rook asked in concern. Everyone looked at him. He continued, "You all have been gone for too long. They became very concern and feared that something terrible happen to you."

Mimi waved off the concerns, "Oh, not to worry about that. We told our parents that we're staying at our friend's place for hangout and sleepover. But we never told them who they are and where they lived."

"And also, the time here in Digital World is faster than the Real World, like a speed of light," Izzy explained calmly, "So therefore, we shouldn't be worried about them finding out we're not on Real World. Prodigious!"

Joe nodded, "Yup. I'll have plenty of time to study hard for mid-term exams."

Digidestineds and Digimon Partners groaned in annoyance. Tai asked, "Is the study the only thing you can think of?"

"Of course! I have to become a doctor because I'm following my family's legacy," Joe said firmly, "The last thing I need is to disappoint my family again."

Gomamon sighed, "Joe, you really need to relax and not to think hard."

Jazz whistled, "You got some conviction and future, kiddo."

Joe chuckled a bit while patting his own head, "Why, thanks, Mr. Jazz."

Rook was still not convinced as he asked, "But what about TK and Kari? From what you told us is that they've been transported here without letting their parents know. This might make them more worried and suspicious."

Digidestineds and Digimon Partners yelped in concern of the situation. They looked down in shame and worried. Ben was annoyed as he nudged Rook's shoulder.

"Way to bring down their mood!" Ben remarked dryly.

Rook hissed in pain, "I was merely pointing out the concerns, Ben."

Kari and TK looked down in concern. The latter spoke, "I almost forgot about that. I'd never told my mummy that I was with Matt. I was still at the apartment…"

"Well, I did tell my mom that I'm meeting with Tai and his friends," Kari said in concern, "But… I don't think she would be happy if I've gone too long."

Patamon and Gatomon felt guilty and ashamed of their action for bringing them to Digital World due to needing them to save their lives.

"I'm sorry, Kari," Gatomon apologized, "I should never have drag you into this."

Patamon nodded, "Me too. Now your parents will find out and scold you for not telling them the truth."

"Hey, come on, we'll figure things out," Tai said optimistically and calmly while holding Kari close to him, "If the parents find out about this, I'll take the blame for it since I kinda got us into this in the first place."

Matt nodded firmly while patted TK's head, "Me too. I'm responsible for this as well. Takeru doesn't deserve the blame."

"Onichan…" TK and Kari commented in surprise yet relief. They then hugged their own brothers warmly, "Y-You don't have to do this, but thank you."

Tai and Matt smiled as they patted their younger siblings, "What are brothers for…"

Bluestreak sighed, thinking of Prowl, "You two are very lucky to have a brother like him. I wish mine was alive…"

"I wish I have done something better for mine…" Moonracer said in upset tone.

Hearing them, Kari and TK couldn't help but sympathize Bluestreak and Moonracer. Before they could say anything, they felt something uneasy as if they sensed a danger ahead of them. They both shouted, "Everyone, stop!"

Team Prime quickly hit the break at once, stopping their driving at once. And to everyone's shock and concern, couple of blasts and missiles shot on the ground, almost too close to them.

"What the heck was that?!" Tetrax asked in shock.

"Ambush! We're under attacked!" Ironhide exclaimed.

Team Prime quickly transformed into their robotic modes. Team Ben and Team Digidestined climbed down and armed themselves at once. As Ironhide expected, they were ambushed and surrounded by Barricade, Skywarp, Slipstream and their soldiers.

Barricade smirked, "So, you were able to detect us earlier before we make the move. That was quite impressive feat you've made."

"Barricade!" Bumblebe snapped firmly, surprising Barricade and his squadron.

"Well, well, you've got your voice back, Bee," Barricade commented, "I did not expect that."

Skywarp was surprised, "I thought that kid was mute forever! He only beeps!"

"Yeah. No way he could have regain his own voice back so quick, unless-!" Slipstream disagreed but halted of realization, "The DigiEnergon! It must have helped him to speak in Human Language!"

"DigiEnergon?" Ratchet asked suspiciously and concerned.

"I'd never heard of that before," Izzy said in concern, "Did you, Tentomon?"

Tentomon shook his head, "Definitely not! In fact, we're just learned about the Energon, a moment ago! Heck, no Digimon has ever heard that before?!"

Optimus Prime narrowed his firm eyes as he demanded, "Where is Megatron?! Does this 'DigiEnergon' has to do with him gaining the Digivolution?! Does he attempt to conquer this and another world?"

"Sorry, Prime. Can't tell you that much, even though you figure some part out," Barricade mocked. He armed himself with his Shotgun Buster, along with his Decepticons. He smirked, "But he did say that he and his new friend want to get rid of you all including the kids and their pets."

"So, there's another evil Digimon helping them?" Tai asked in disbelief.

"Whoever he is, he and buckethead are not gonna win!" Ben exclaimed determinedly while armed with his Omnitrix, "Coz we're gonna beat them both!"

Skywarp scoffed, "I'd like to see you punks try!"

Just as Barricade and his units approached and prepared to attack Team Ben and their allies, ten of Vehicon Troopers struck down by lightning blast. This surprised and alerted all. Before anyone could do anything, some Decepticon Troopers got slashed and cut down by a lance, a few got slammed and struck down by a large shield and other got punched and kicked very hard to death. Barricade, Slipstream and Skywarp got knocked aside as well.

With all the soldiers have been dealt with, the mysterious attacker revealed himself standing before Barricade, Slipstream and Skywarp. He revealed himself to be an old yet damaged white knight-like Digimon with long white ponytail-like, red mask-like on forehead, red cape armed with a lance and large shield.

"Wow! Who's that?" Ben asked in surprise.

Tai nodded, "Yeah. That's what I would like to know."

"It cannot be…" Gatomon said in shock and surprise.

"Who the frag are you?!" Skywarp demanded while armed with his Big Bang Maces.

"Gallantmon of the Digital Royal Knights," Gallantmon answered firmly. He then aimed his lance at the Decepticons, "Invaders of the Digital World, leave this world at once! Or suffer the consequence!"

Barricade, Slipsteram and Skywarp looked at each other. Three of them brushed off his warnings before armed with their weapons. The purple-colored Seeker charged and attacked Gallantmon, who firmly knocked him aside. The female Seeker engaged fist fight against the Digimon Knight, who dodged and evaded the attacks. When she kicked at his face, he barely dodged while grabbing it before thrown her at the tree trunk. He turned to Barricade, who charged and attacked him with his Black Belt Nunchucks. Gallantmon swung and deflected the attacks with his Gram Lance before thrust and throw him back to his teammates against the tree trunk. He then unleashed his Lightning Joust on them, injuring them more.

Barricade, Skywarp and Slipstream groaned and moaned in pain while slowly recovered. They found Gallantmon aimed his Lightning Joust at them. He narrowed his angry eyes. Nervous and uneasy, they quickly got up and make their escape to the dark woods.

"You'll regret this, jerk!" Skywarp shouted angrily.

Gallantmon sighed calmly as he lowered down his weapons. Everyone was in shocked yet amazed and astonished of him singlehandedly fought and defeated three Decepticons.

Ben whistled, "Dude! That is so awesome! Thanks for saving our lives!"

Just as Ben approached to him, Gallantmon turned and thrust his Gram Lance at him. He barely dodged the attack, but not before his Omnitrix got struck. This made the device to turn from green into yellow color, scanning and collecting the Digimon's DNA. He fell hard on his back. Julie and Rook quickly helped him get up.

Ben shouted, "What the hell?! Are you trying to kill me?!"

"If you value your lives, then you will leave and return to where you came from, trespassers. We do not welcome strangers here" Gallantmon said calmly with tone of anger. He continued, "Only the Digidestineds are allow to come to this world as they have the destiny they must fulfill. The Will of Homeostasis demands it!"

Everyone was shocked by Gallantmon's statement. Despite his warning, they cannot leave until they stop and bring the Decepticons back to their dimension.

"Believe us, Gallantmon Sir, we do want to go back. But we can't," Bumblebee said in concern. Gallantmon raised his suspicious eyes. He gulped, "We don't know how!"

Rook nodded, "Yes. Even if we do know, we cannot leave until we stop and bring the Decepticons back to our dimension."

"You have to let us go and stop them!" Moonracer pleaded.

Gallantmon shown his doubts and suspicious at Team Ben and Team Prime. He armed with his Gram Lance and Aegis Shield, preparing to attack and force them to leave the Digital World. Team Ben and Team Prime armed themselves for the fight. Digidestineds and their partners stood in front while forming shield to block him from attacking them.

"Stop! They're not your enemies!" TK pleaded.

Kari nodded in concern, "The Decepticons are! We have to stop them before they destroy this world!"

Gallantmon remained silent as he doesn't believe them. Julie pleaded, "It's the truth! Please, you have to believe in us!"

"You can manipulate the words if you want. But my warning remains stand," Gallantmon said firmly and dryly, "Now leave!"

Ben groaned in frustration, "Look, we don't have time to argue. Professor Paradox warned us that-!"

"Professor Paradox? The Time Walker?!" Gallantmon asked in surprise, "You met the Time Walker?!"

"Yeah, we did," Ben confirmed, "In fact, he's our friend. He helped us when something bad is gonna happen in the future. Which is now!"

Optimus Prime continued, "He has warned us if we do not stop Megatron and his Decepticons in time, they will Digivolve into their new powerful forms. They will travel across other universes and dimensions for searching and fusing more powerful beings with them. They could destroy the multiverse."

Gallantmon was in shock and disbelief of the news. Tai nodded, "Optimus and Ben are telling the truth! All of us were there! I guaranteed it!"

"Yeah! Me too!" Agumon supported.

Most of Digidestineds and Digimon Partners chattered and shouted that Professor Paradox warned them and their allies of the future. Gallantmon was still disbelief and doubtful yet uncertain of it. However, he cannot ignore Digidestineds' words especially when it involved of Professor Paradox. It must be very grim and serious situation.

"If what you say is true about Time Walker, then I shall accept it," Gallantmon said reluctantly, making almost all sighed in relief. He continued, "However, I need a proof that you were telling the truth. Challenge me."

"What?!" Everyone asked in disbelief.

"This will be a duel. Defeat me, then I shall allow you to continue your journey," Gallantmon said firmly, "Fail to do so, you will leave this dimension at once. The Digidestineds and their partners will stay and fulfill their destiny."

Everyone was in shock and disbelief. They all complained and protested against his challenge as they do not have time for it.

"Very well. I accept your challenge," Optimus Prime said firmly, shocking everyone. He continued, "If we were to continue our journey, we must defeat him first to prove that our words are true."

"Optimus's right. We don't have much time…" Ironhide said seriously. He took out a pole device from his back. He passed it to Optimus Prime, "You'll need this."

Taking the pole device, Optimus Prime activated it into Energon Axe, "Thank you, old friend. I will make use of this. I have not use it for a long time."

"Mr. Prime, please be careful," Izzy said in concern. Optimus Prime glanced at him. He continued while showing his Digivice that has Gallantmon profile hologram. He continued, "Gallantmon is a Mega Level Digimon. That means he's a very powerful Digimon, and also stronger than any of our Ultimate Level Digimon."

"Not to mention, he's also a Digital Royal Guard," Gatomon added in, "I know this because he and his forces once worked together with us during the fight against Army of Dark Digimon."

Patamon nodded in agreement, "Please, don't kill him. He's a good Digimon, who wants to protect the Digital World."

"Understood." Optimus Prime said firmly with a nod. He turned and faced Gallantmon, "It doesn't have to be this way, Gallantmon."

"It must," Gallantmon said firmly and sternly, "As the Knight and Guardian to this Digital World, my duty is to protect it from the evil forces and invaders like you. If you spoke the truth, defeat me."

"Very well…" Optimus Prime reluctantly accepted it. He glanced at his allies, "No one is allowed to interfere my fight."

(Xtreme Fight – Takayoshi Tanimoto)

Everyone reluctantly obeyed and stayed away from the fight, hiding behind the woods while watching the duel. Both Optimus Prime and Gallantmon armed with their weapons and positioned themselves in fighting stance while facing and glaring at each other, waiting for the right moment to strike. Just as the wind breezed and rustled the woods, a leaf slowly and gently descended to the ground.

As if signaled, Gallantmon charged and thrust his Gram Lance at Optimus Prime, who quickly and swiftly blocked and clashed it for the moment. Just as they both departed, they charged and engaged a fierce clash with each other for couple of rounds. The Prime jumped and slammed his Energon Axe on the crimson-white knight, who blocked his Aegis Shield against it for the moment before pushing it hard. He quickly thrust his kick at him off. He struck and thrust his Gram Lance at him. He barely dodged and evaded some of the attacks before jumped and moved back. He quickly swung and knocked him back.

Before Optimus Prime could do anything, Gallantmon summoned and fired couple of his Lightning Joust at him, shocking and stunning him for the moment. He quickly swung his Aegis Shield at the Prime for five times before rammed him off. Just as he recovered from the attack, he glanced back and found the knight swung and thrust Gram Lance at him, prompting him to roll away from the attack. Loaded and Armed, Optimus Prime quickly fired his Ion Blaster at Gallantmon, who barely dodged and evaded the blasts before using his Aegis Shield to block. Before he could resume his fight, he found the Prime slammed and launched couple of punches on the white-crimson knight before kicked him off. Just recovered from the surprise attack, Gallantmon resumed his swordfight with Optimus Prime, who fought back with both Energon Axe and Prime Sword.

As both Gallantmon and Optimus Prime fought fiercely and determinedly, the rest of his team and allies cheered out wildly and passionately for him to win. And at the same time, Ben's Omnitrix reacted strangely as it's still glowing yellow while spinning the dial around. This slowly affected him to change his skin color into red, followed by his hands and toes transformed into claws, his cheeks slowly formed three spikes on cheeks and his ears became batwing-like ear.

Both the Prime and Royal Knight Digimon relentlessly and firmly continued swinging and crossing their blades against each other for couple of times. They then have the fierce clash for the moment before departed it. Gallantmon moved all the way to the back as he armed and fired his glowing Aegis Shield at Optimus Prime. The Autobot Leader barely dodged to left before transformed into his truck and heading towards him. To his shock and disbelief, Gallantmon tried to turn and fire his powerful beam at him. But it was too late as Optimus Prime quickly transform and slammed his kick on the Royal Knight to the ground. Before he could strike, Prime quickly knocked the weapons off before aimed his Ion Blaster at him. Seeing the Autobot Leader beaten him and won the fight, they all cheered for him.

"I-I lost?" Gallantmon asked in shock and disbelief. He sighed in shame and upset while looking away, "What are you waiting for me? Finish me now."

"No," Optimus Prime answered firmly, surprising Gallantmon. Deactivating his weapons, he moved away from the Digimon Knight, who grunted in pain while struggled to get up. He found the Prime held his hand out to him. He offered, "Come with us, Gallantmon. Together, we have the chance to stop Decepticons and save this world."

Surprised by Optimus Prime's offer, Gallantmon gave some thoughts about it. Just as he reached out his hand to the Autobot, everyone was hopeful that he accepts. But instead, he shrugged it off, to everyone's disbelief and shock.

Gallantmon managed to get up before turned away from Optimus Prime. He uttered firmly and sternly, "I'll be back to repay you. Count on it, Prime…"

Gathering his weapons, Gallantmon marched out and into the dark woods. Everyone was annoyed and irritated with how he responded to Optimus Prime.

"The nerve of that knight!" Ratchet snapped in annoyance.

Mimi rebuffed annoyingly, "Yeah. He should be grateful that Optimus Prime spared him!"

"Yeah. He called himself the Royal Knight," Palmon angrily remarked.

"The next time I see him, I'll blast him to pieces!" Ironhide snapped angrily.

"Let him go," Optimus Prime said firmly and humbly, surprising everyone. He continued, "As a warrior, he would not let go his pride and humbly accept his defeat and humility. But I am confident that he will return to us."

Gatomon nodded, "He's right. Gallantmon is still Royal Knight. His duty is to protect the world, not for personal gain."

"Well, let's hope so," The squeaky voice agreed, surprising everyone. They all turned and looked at where Ben was stand. They yelped in shock and surprise. They're looking at Guilmon wearing Ben's casual clothes. He asked, "What?"

"Ben? Is that you?" Julie asked in concern.

"Yeah. Why?" 'Ben' asked in confusion. Everyone has a hard time to explain but Mimi took her compact mirror for him to look. After looking at his new body, he panicked in fear. He screamed, "AW MAN! NOT THIS AGAIN!"

---

After digging out and removing the rubbles, the Decepticon Miners and Myotismon's Slaves carried and transported Alphamon Corpse to Nautica's laboratory basement. Megatron, Myotismon and the rest of Decepticon Warriors were gathered there. They even brought the mysterious object with them as well.

Nautica gave the DigiEnergon canister to Megatron, "Here it is, Lord Megatron. The DigiEnergon, a new energy source that will help you evolve and empower into your new form."

While holding the canister, Megatron was amazed and impressed to look at it, "Such interesting power of DigiEnergon." He turned and looked at Nautica, "Tell me, Nautica, have you tested them? Can they truly evolve and empower us?"

"No, Lord Megatron, I have not," Nautica admitted in concern. Megatron raised his suspicious eyebrow at her. She explained, "I only finished my analysis and experiments on Digimon's ability."

"I see." Megatron remarked calmly. He turned and looked at his own Decepticon Warriors. He asked, "Which one of you dare to try and use this power?"

Starscream panicked while shaking his head in denial as he doesn't want to end up losing his hand again. Airachnid wanted to but feared that Megatron would kill her if she dared to turn on him. Soundblaster is already in his evolved form.

"I'll do it then," Breakdown volunteered. Megatron passed the DigiEnergon Canister to him. Without hesitation and concern, he drank it all like a normal drink until it's empty. He sighed in relief, "Taste like any regular Energon. Still, I feel something funny…"

Airachnid scoffed, "Right. Like how you got slammed and stuck me to the ground after you lost the Polarity Gauntlet!"

"Hey! That was your fault! You blew it up for playing with Arcee!"

"Says to the guy, who couldn't handle the big green guy! I heard he beat you too many times especially like how MECH stung you."

"Don't you dare bring that up again!"

"That's enough. I'll help you to master that power," Myotismon said firmly and calmly while approaching to Breakdown. He continued, "Breakdown, to ascend your new form, you must feel the power of Digivolution within. Focus and call upon your deep power within."

Breakdown nodded firmly. He firmly and calmly yet dumbly repeated 'my deep power within', which annoyed his friends. And to their surprise and disbelief, Breakdown's body glowed brightly as he began evolving and transforming.

"BREAKDOWN DIGIVOLVE TO… WARHAMMER!"

Breakdown has turned into a large dark cobalt-purple colored hunchback Decepticon Warrior with a skull-like monstrous head, pair of large bulky hands and smaller hands in middle, twin large shoulder cannons while wielding a large hammer. He roared out loud, shocking and surprising Megatron and his forces.

"Incredible!" Starscream exclaimed in surprise.

Airachnid nodded, "And stronger too. Knockout would love it now."

"How do you feel, Breakdown?" Myotismon asked.

Flexing and clenching his fists, Warhammer awed, "Feel… Stronger… And… Better… Too… Warhammer loved this!"

"Impressive. Now we know that the DigiEnergon can work on us," Megatron commented proudly and calmly, "Perfect…"

Starsceram smirked proudly, "I can't wait to use it!"

Airachnid smiled pleasingly, "So do I…"

"Don't mind me asking – what the heck is that thing?!" DemiDevimon demanded firmly while looking at Enigma of Combination.

Starscream snarled at DemiDevimon, "Mind your manner, batsy! Or I will skew you!"

DemiDevimon groaned in anger, "Make me, scrawny!"

"Silence!" Myotismon demanded angrily, silencing and scaring Starscream and DemiDevimon. He turned and looked at Megatron, "Forgive their rudeness. Perhaps, you can explain about this, Lord Megatron?"

"Yes, I will. This is the Enigma of Combination," Megatron answered calmly and firmly, "An ancient relic that is capable of combining and merging six or more Cybertronians into a large and stronger Combiner."

"Hmm… How interesting…" Myotismon said intriguingly. He questioned, "Do you intend to use it now? Fusing your warriors when they're in their evolved forms?"

"No…" Megatron answered calmly, confusing his allies. Looking at Alphamon corpse, he then looked at the Enigma of Combination. He smirked, "I have a better idea…"

Looking at where Megatron's looking at, Myotismon hummed, "I see…"

"I hope you do not plan to betray and turn on me especially disrupt my master plan. I don't tolerate betrayals and treachery. My punishment can be very extreme."

"Do not worry, Lord Megatron. I have no such intention but the plans to ensure the destruction of Digidestineds."

"We shall see…"

Everyone was surprised yet amused by Megatron's thinking. Suddenly; Barricade, Slipstream and Skywarp rushed into the laboratory's entrance. They all panted heavily while trying to calm themselves down.

"Lord Megatron, we might have the problem!" Barricade reported in concern.

"Report now…" Megatron said firmly and sternly. Barricade reported, shocking and alerting him. He growled, "We must make haste with our plans now. It's time for us to ascend the new forms."

Myotismon nodded in understanding, "Indeed. The time is now."

At the medical wing, Knockout was busy cleaning and waxing his paintjob again. Suddenly, Blackout entered the room as he brought some unusual weapons and gadgets in. He told the mad doctor of what he wanted. This shocked and surprised him about the Decepticon General's desire.

"Yes, I can do that, Blackout," Knockout answered while looking at Blackout on his patient bed. He asked, "But are you certain that you want to go through it?"

Blackout looked at the new weapons and tools. He spoke, "Like nothing I ever desire before, Knockout. To destroy that Digimon."

"Wow. You really mad at what that brat and metal lizard did to you." Knockout commented in surprise. He found Blackout glared at him. He cleared his throat, "Sorry. I shall induce stasis."

Blackout protested, "No. I wish to bear witness as you attach my new appendages."

Knockout out, "Coming up! Here goes nothing. My very first own Frankenstein's Monster!"

Knockout began the operation by using his saw to cut off all the damage parts that Blackout has suffered. And at the same time, looking through the weapons and gadgets as he was trying to figure out on how to fit him. Though he felt pain, he endured it as he wanted nothing more than rematch against Tai and MetalGreymon.

"Soon… Soon… I will have my rematch…" Blackout said dryly, "No one defeats Megatron's Hound…"

---

"AW! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?!" BenGuilmon shouted in disbelief.

BenGuilmon screamed and panicked in fear while running around. Everyone was still shocked and stunned by Ben's sudden transformation into a Digimon. At the same time, his teammates were trying to calm him down but he was too strong and fast for them to catch up until Bluestreak stomped his feet, which prevented and knocked him to the ground hard.

"Ow… That hurt…" BenGuilmon groaned in pain. Julie and Rook helped him get up. He moaned, "Thanks. I needed that."

"What just happen?" Joe asked in confusion and disbelief, "How on earth did you become a Digimon?! Is that even possible?!"

Matt looked at Gabumon, "Gabumon? Can humans turn into Digimon?"

Gabumon shook his head, "Dunno because it was never been done before."

Gomamon nodded in agreement, "And not to mention, it's kinda weird and unusual to see one. Not to mention, that clothes doesn't suit you, BenGuilmon."

"Hey! This shirt is the latest trend! It's the best one I ever wear! Don't insult me!" BenGuilmon snapped in annoyance, "And also, what do you mean 'BenGuilmon'?!"

"Well, you look like one," Agumon explained. Tai looked at his Digivice for finding out about the Digimon. He continued, "Guilmon is another reptile and fire type Digimon like me, and also a Rookie Level. But unlike me, he's much tougher and stronger than me especially a very fierce fighter too."

BenGuilmon nodded understandingly, "Okay… But why do I end up like this form? Shouldn't I be that knight Digimon?"

"That's because Guilmon is Gallantmon's Rookie Level," Izzy explained while looking at his laptop. He then showed the Digivolution Chart of Guilmon to his friends. He continued, "You have to get to Champion Level Growlmon, Ultimate Level WarGrowlmon and then finally Mega Level. It's a long way to get there."

"Are you kidding me?! This is gotta be dumbest thing I ever heard! I'm gonna stuck in this form until I get the Mega Level?!" BenGuilmon asked in disbelief. He started to complain about him had to get stuck in low level to reach high level, and comparing him to Blitzwolfer, shocking and making his friends uneasy. He got slapped by Julie. He groaned in pain, "Ouch. Thanks. BenGuilmon needed that."

Julie smiled playfully, "It's a girlfriend thing. Making sure you don't go crazy and comfort you."

BenGuilmon blushed in red, "Yeah, thanks."

Looking at how Ben and Julie get along as couple, Tai and Sora glanced at each other before looked away with burning red of nervous and embarrassment. Matt, Mimi, Kari, Agumon, Biyomon and Gatomon noticed it while quietly snickered at it.

"But still, I can't believe that you were able to become the Digimon," Izzy commented in surprise.

Raf nodded, "Yeah. I thought you can only scan and become an alien."

"BenGuilmon thought too," BenGuilmon admitted in surprise. He looked at his Omnitrix, "Guess the Omnitrix doesn't just scan and use aliens, but any other beings as long they have intelligence lifeform in it."

Ratchet hummed thoughtfully, "That actually make sense. Even though Digimon are artificial beings made of computer data, they're still sapient life forms like us."

"That is true. Azmuth did say that once," Tetrax agreed, "Should we continue our journey?"

Optimus Prime grunted in pain, feeling some injuries on part of body. Everyone turned and looked at him as they asked if he was alright. Ratchet approached and used his medical scanner on him.

"This must be critical. Gallantmon really did some serious damages to you, Optimus," Ratchet said in concern while looking at his scanner. He sighed, "It will take some time to treat his injuries especially with limited medical tools and Energon Source. I don't even know if this world has it or not."

"What about the DigiEnergon?" Jazz suggested, "I mean it could work like Energon as well. It did help Bumblebee speak in Human Language."

Though doubtful and uncertain of it, Ratchet sighed reluctantly, "Very well. It's not like we have a choice. We're at the unknown realm."

"You got it. Lieutenant Jazz is on the job," Jazz playfully saluted. He turned and looked at his friends, "Bee, Blue, Rook, gonna need your scouting. Joe O'boy, gonna need your guidance and help on this recon mission."

"What?! Me?!" Joe asked in surprise.

Gomamon patted Joe's back, "Yeah, Joe. Better take the que. Plus, he can teach you a thing about leadership. And also, I wanna be cool as you."

Jazz chuckled amusingly, "Gomamon, you are something. Sure, why not? What do you say, Joey?"

After some thinking of his friend's thinking, Joe sighed a bit, "Okay. I could learn how to be a good leader."

"Hey, can I go with you?" Raf volunteered.

"Me too." TK volunteered. Patamon nodded happily. He looked at Matt, "Can I, bro?"

Matt nodded a bit, "Alright, just stick with Patamon and Beebee. Call me if things go wrong."

"Okay," TK nodded happily, "Don't worry about it. I've got Patamon and some big Autobots to looker after us."

Though he's still young, Matt sighed while nodded in agreement that TK is brave enough to handle it. Jazz and his team headed for their scouting mission.

---

Using Energon Detectors, Jazz's team searched through the woods to locate the DigiEnergon. And to their surprise and disbelief, their machine went haywire as it pointed everywhere.

"Wow. This DigiEnergon Source is everywhere," Jazz commented in surprise while looking of his surroundings. He whistled, "Man, this Digital World is something."

Bumblebee nodded, "No kidding. It helped me speak in Human Language. Never thought I would hear my own voice again."

"I agreed, Bumblebee. As Professor Paradox said, the Digital World works with wondrous." Bluestreak remarked, "Now… I wonder where to start the mining. I wouldn't want to damage the mother nature. Prowl would be furious if we do something unethical and irresponsible."

Jazz nodded in agreement, "Good call, Blue."

"How about the large chunk of crystals?" Gomamon asked curiously, surprising the team. He turned and pointed to the right, which has the large chunk of colorful crystals field. He whistled, "Woo! How do you like it?"

Jazz whistled, "Gomamon, I could kiss you with a seal! This ought to do it!"

Gomamon groaned in disgust, "I'd prefer to kiss a girl than a guy. No offense. It freaks me out."

"Sure, whatever you say, buddy." Jazz commanded, "Let's groove it and move it, people."

Everyone cheered in agreement, Jazz and his team entered into the Crystal Field, where they began digging and mining the crystals out. They even loaded them up into the wagons-like. The Autobot Lieutenant even turned on and played the Pop Music for everyone to enjoy listening and working at the same time. They all enjoyed it very much.

"Wow! Listening to music and working at the same time? Cool!" Gomamon exclaimed in surprise while clawing out some crystals. He giggled, "Jazz, you're now my type of guy to hang with!"

"Thanks, little seal. I'd take that compliment," Jazz commented warmly while mining the crystals out. He then noticed Joe has been silent for the moment. He asked, "Hey, kiddo, you've been awfully quiet."

"Oh, sorry about that," Joe apologized uneasily and nervously.

"Hey, no worries, kid. Something must be bothering you. Wanna have a chat?"

"Me? Chat with you? You sure?"

"Sure, why not?" Jazz answered warmly before danced in Michael Jackson style and made a pose. He smiled, "There's nothing to be nervous with me. I'm just a friendly musical lover Jazz. Got nothing to be afraid of me."

"Okay…" Joe admitted in a bit embarrassed yet relief. While still mining the crystals out, he continued, "I'm just a little bit of shocked and surprised that you decide to have me to work with you. I mean I'm not really smart and strong as you and your buddies. You guys are highly advanced robots while me – I'm just a human."

"That's where you're wrong, kid," Jazz disagreed, surprising Joe. He explained, "Just because you're a human doesn't mean you're useless and expandable. In fact, I have lots of human friends. And they're great help for beating the Cons and taught us a lot about their culture. They're tougher and smarter than they look. Heck, I maybe a Cybertronian, but I'm just a regular guy."

"Really?"

"Yeah, Joe. Nothing to worry about. Just be yourself and help little ol' Jazz about this world. After all, we're the team."

"I-I'd never thought of that. Thanks."

"You know, I still don't understand why you're considered as the leader, Joe," Rook questioned, making Joe shocked and upset. He continued, "As far as I can tell, you're not very good at it."

Bluestreak nodded, "Indeed. You lacked confidence, courage and firmness to handle the situation."

Joe groaned sadly, "You don't have to be so criticism."

"Hey! That's very rude of you guys!" Gomamon said defensively, surprising Rook and Bluestreak. He continued, "It's true that Joe's not brave and strong like others. But he's still smart, cautious, sensitive and caring leader, who looked out for his friends. Not the great leader, but a good and reliable friend."

Jazz nodded in understanding and agreement, "And besides, not every leader has to be brave and confident. But be a reliable and help out the team. Always remember the key point, kid. That's what friends are."

Rook hummed thoughtfully, "I supposed that is true. Though I lacked experience of handle the situation and leadership, I make it up with detective skills and provide aid to help my team."

"Agreed. We are the team, after all," Bluestreak agreed, "We look out for each other."

Touched by his friends' wisdom, Joe smiled, "Thanks, guys."

Using Arcee's Circuit-Su Skill, Bumblebee struck and knocked down on some crystals before he grabbed and loaded them up on the wagon. Pegasusmon also helped by using Star Shower to bring some crystals down.

Bumblebee whistled, "First an angel, and now flying horse. You're something, Patamon."

Pegasusmon chuckled a bit, "It's all thanks to Takeru. He's the reason why I have two Digivolution. He gave me hope. He'd never give up on me, no matter how dire the battle is. I'd give my life to protect him. He has done so much for me."

"Like a brother?"

"Yeah. What about you and Raf? Does he too give you the hope?"

"Well, you could say something like that. But to me, he's just Raf. A little brother I'd never have. He's the only one, who listen and understand me the most when I lost my voice. I feel happy to have someone like him."

"I'd never did get to ask you. How did you lose your voice?" Pegasusmon asked in concern. Bumblebee kept quiet. He hissed, "Sorry. I should not have asked. Not everyone enjoyed remembering the past especially the part that almost killed you. I know that feeling before. I almost turned into evil. I almost lost hope if not for Takeru."

Bumblebee nodded, "Yeah. If not for Ratchet, I wouldn't be alive here today and meet Raf. I'm thankful of that."

"Guess we're both lucky to have friends like them." Pegasusmon commented.

Bumblebee smiled within his mask, "Yeah, it sure is."

Raf and TK were checking and making sure that the crystals are alright. They both found Bumblebee and Pegasusmon got along well while chatting friendly and warmly.

"Wow. Bumblebee seems to get along well with Pegasusmon," Takeru commented, "I was worried he might get upset that he might not be strong as Bee is. He told me that he wasn't big and strong as other Digimons and Bumblebee."

"You're joking, right, TK?" Raf asked in disbelief. TK shook his head. He laughed a bit, "I don't believe it. Your Patamon's Angel Form saved my life before I get crushed! And not to mention, he used some kind of mega vacuum to suck up and fired the powerful beam back at Barricade and Nautica. I'd say he's strong enough to take them down."

"Yeah, true enough."

"TK, can I ask you something?"

"Sure. What is it?"

"Why do you call Matt your brother? Is it because he was your cousin or older kid from family's friend?"

TK shook his head, "No, Raf. He's my real big brother. My parents divorced and separated from each other when we were young. I lived with my mom while Yamato stayed with dad."

Raf was in shock and hurt as he apologized, "I'm so sorry, TK. I'm so insensitive to ask that."

"No, it's okay. You didn't know it." TK assured Raf, who was surprised and shocked. He sighed, "Even though we were separated from each other, it doesn't mean our love for each other. Talking with Yamato has always cheered me up. And sometimes, it gave me strength to overcome my fear and handle it by myself. I owe this to him."

Raf was surprised and amazed, "Wow. TK, you're a lot braver than I thought. I wish I could be like you and Miko."

TK smiled, "Hey, you don't need to be brave, you just have to be yourself as a smart friend to help Bumblebee. That's what Izzy do." Raf was surprised yet amazed to nod in agreement. He smiled, "Come to think of it. You and Izzy are kinda like the same. He's smart too."

Raf hummed thoughtfully, "Maybe I should get to know him more. He might help me out about Digital World while I helped him about Cybertronians. He'd be surprise of how challenging their language."

TK laughed a bit with smile, "Like I said, you and him are the same."

---

Moved to the riverside for shelter and resting, everyone else was taking the break and chatting with each other. Ratchet was checking and treating Optimus Prime's injuries. Tai, Izzy, Agumon and Tentomon were talking with BenGuilmon of what he can do or his evolved forms can. Ironhide, Tetrax, Matt and Gabumon were guarding and patrolling the area.

Jazz's scouting team has returned, bringing the couple wagons of DigiEnergon. Jazz and Raf approached to Ratchet, whom they provided him the DigiEnergon to check and analyze. After few minutes of studying and experimenting it on some medical machinery, his medical scanner gave the results of it.

Ratchet hummed thoughtfully, "Hmm… The formula seems to be stable. And the result of using on machinery seems to be good so far. No sign of side effects."

"Does that mean it can be used for Energon Source?" Raf asked hopefully.

"As far as I can tell, this world's Energon is good as regular ones," Ratchet admitted.

Jazz smiled, "Guess we can tell the folks about it."

"Yip! Yip! Don't jump the gun again, Jazz," Ratchet protested firmly while looking at the canister, "Just because the formula works well with machines doesn't mean it's good for us too. This iteration of the formula requires further trial before we could use it on Optimus. I don't want to risk it."

"Or maybe you worried too much," Tentomon commented as he and Izzy arrived at the scene after helping BenGuilmon with his new ability. He continued, "I mean if the Energon is so dangerous, then how come Koushiro and his buddies can eat Digital Food and drinks. As far as I can tell, they don't have side effects."

Izzy hummed thoughtfully, "Tentomon's right. Even though the world's made of data, it still looked very real. Plus, the DigiEnergon did help us a lot especially Bumblebee speak in different languages."

Ratchet was still doubtful and uncertain while looking at his medical scanner. He sighed, "I guess it wouldn't hurt to try it. It does show some good results. Optimus needs the medical attention."

Ratchet turned his attention on Optimus Prime as he prepared the medical tool. Izzy was worried and uneasy when he looked at the medical officer's annoyed looks.

"What's his problem?" Tentomon asked.

"I think we made him mad," Izzy commented in concern.

"Nah. That's just Ratchet." Jazz disagreed, "He's just being grumpy old medical officer, who just cautious and making sure that new supply is safe to use. He's looking out for the team."

Raf nodded, "Besides, Ratchet's really a nice and friendly guy, as long as you don't damage his tools."

"You seem to know Ratchet a lot," Tentomon said in surprise, "I thought Bumblebee is your partner or guardian."

Raf smiled, "He still is. But I always look to Ratchet for help and teaching me about his culture and language. And he did give me a new laptop after my old one was badly damaged. You could say he's like a mentor and grandfather to me. He reminds me so much of him."

"I see. I felt the same with Tentomon," Izzy commented in agreement. He then looked at Ratchet, who was handling and managing the DigiEnergon. He sighed, "Still, I should apologize to Ratchet."

Raf sighed, "Izzy, I told you that Ratchet's not angry at you."

Izzy approached to Ratchet, who is readied with his medical tools. He apologized, "Ratchet, I want to apologize to you for upsetting you that we know better than you. But I assure you that you're still a great medic, who cares and treat your patients, and making sure they're alright. And believe me, I know what it's like to make sure your best friend's alright and alive, and not taking the risks."

"Huh? Why on Cybertron would you want to apologize to me?" Ratchet asked in surprise and disbelief, surprising Izzy and Tentomon. He turned and looked at him. He continued, "In fact, I should be thanking you. For reassuring me that the DigiEnergon is safe to use. And I agreed to it."

"So, you're not mad at me?"

"Of course not. I maybe a grumpy old bot, but I'm not that prideful and unreasonable. I'm open minded to anything that can help my friends. Besides, Rafael has suggested and helped me on two to three occasions in tight situations especially when it involved with Earth's technologies."

"Wow. Really?" Izzy asked in surprise while looking at Raf, "You really help him?"

Raf nodded, "Yes, I did. Whenever he has the problem with Earth's Technologies and Culture, I helped him out and solving the problem. So, it'll be easy for him to handle it."

"Wow! Now, that's what I called 'teamwork'," Tentomon commented.

"Incredible…" Izzy commented in surprise.

"Yes, he helped me a lot. So, I helped him too," Ratchet said warmly, "So, whatever you have in mind, just tell me and I'll try it your way."

Izzy was surprise yet relieved by Ratchet's comfort. Raf smiled, "See? I told you."

"But I do require some help with the operation," Ratchet said calmly, "Think you can help me with that?"

"Wow, really?!" Izzy asked in surprise.

Raf smiled, "If he needs, then we helped. Plus, we get to know each other."

Surprised by his request, Izzy looked at Raf, who nodded firmly and calmly that they should helped Ratchet out with treating Optimus Prime's wounds. He agreed as well. Autobot Medical Officer began checking and treating Optimus Prime's dents and scratches, and even injecting DigiEnergon into him, assisted by Izzy, Raf and Tentomon. Jazz returned to Joe and Gomamon, who requested him on how to relax and cool as he is.

"I'd never thought I would meet someone like me," Izzy remarked in surprise, "This is unbelievable and incredible."

Raf nodded, "I know what you mean. I have same reaction. I mean it's great to have different kind of friends, but I wouldn't to meet and have a chat with someone smart and have same ideals like mine."

"I know the feeling. But Tentomon always said that having different people helped you expose to new stuffs and adventure. In fact, he was right."

"Funny, Bumblebee said the same thing too."

"I guess we're so much alike."

"Almost like brothers if you mean."

"Prodigious…" Izzy agreed.

While still guarding the area while keeping their eyes out for the enemies, Ironhide's team have been silence during their duty. Ironhide and Matt were looking at their own direction and have not spoken since their encounter, making Gabumon nervous and frustrated.

"Aren't you two gonna talk?!" Gabumon asked. They both remained silent. He groaned, "Seriously?! Nothing at all? Not even apology? Or friendly talk?"

Both Ironhide and Matt remained silent. Gabumon was disappointed and annoyed.

Tetrax sighed while shaking his head, "Can't say I'm surprise about you two. For second-in-command, you guys can be quite hotheaded and knuckleheads."

Ironhide and Matt were annoyed as they answered firmly, "Hey! I'm looking out for the enemy and doing my job. I don't care of what he thinks of me. I'm doing what is best for my team!"

Gabumon sighed, "I was worried you guys might react this. This is gonna cause more problems than helping."

"Hmm… If this keeps up…" Tetrax was interrupted before giving some thoughts. He hummed amusingly while flipping the pebble "How about this? The first one who did the amazing skip stone will apologize of what they did."

Matt and Ironhide curiously looked at calmed Tetrax. Gabumon was disbelief of Petrosapien's idea. They then glared at each other for the moment before they picked up the rocks.

"Well, I was the best with 'skipping stones," Matt said confidently, "I doubt you can keep this up since you're a giant robot."

Ironhide scoffed while a big stone, "Big talk coming from a little kid."

Matt smirked, "Buddy, you're about to find out how good this little kid is."

"I can't wait," Ironhide challenged.

Both Ironhide and Matt began the skipping stones as far as they can to win the competition. They refused to be defeated.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Gabumon asked in concern, "I'm scared that they might get too competitive and argue with each other."

Tetrax shrugged, "Maybe. Maybe not. But this is the best way to get those two to work this out. If either of them wins, they will admit and apologize."

Gabumon sighed, "Somehow I doubt it…"

Mimi and Palmon were sleeping and lying down on makeshift bench while drinking their cup of tea. Bulkhead was holding the large leaf to shield them from sunlight. He was annoyed and disbelief of his position.

"How are you two? Feeling relaxing?" Bulkhead asked.

Mimi sighed, "Yeah, I am. So is Palmon. My No. 101 Butler."

Bulkhead was surprised by that call. Palmon smiled and explained, "That is your number for serving Queen Mimi. When we first met' I was her No. 1 as best friend, best butler, best bodyguard and second-in-command. There were a lot of Digimon served under her before including Tai, Sora, Agumon and Biyomon."

"Okay…" Bulkhead said in uncertain, "To be honest, I'm not sure this is the way to treat your friends. It might annoy and upset them. Trust me, if I was, I would be furious and scold you for that treatment."

Mimi sighed, "You're right, Mr. Bulkhead. But I assure you that I treat them well and kindly as servants and friends. And don't worry, I'm not gonna drag my team down. I'll always give my best to help them out and save this world. After all, I'm the team player."

"Really? I have a hard time to believe that," Bulkhead said in disbelief.

"Hey! Mimi's a good friend!" Palmon snapped, feeling offended.

"Are you saying that I'm a liar and spoiled brat, huh?" Mimi asked playfully, making Bulkhead nervous and worried with sweat drop. She got up as she cleared her throat while looking at him, "Come and kneel before me, No. 101! And when you do, pick me up to your face! I'll show what I do to those who talk back at me!"

"Oh, Scrap!" Bulkhead said in fear and worried.

Just as she commanded, he kneeled down before her. He picked up by holding his palm for Mimi and Palmon to climb aboard. When he lifted her near to his face, she did unexpectedly - placed a small flower on his ear while giving a gentle kiss on his cheek.

Bulkhead blushed, "Wow! What was that?"

Mimi smiled warmly, "That's called 'appreciation'. I appreciate you for being a good butler and friend especially being patient with me, despite how I behaved."

Palmon smiled warmly, "See. Mimi always treats and loves her friends and servants kindly. She would never harm them. All thanks to her good grandfather's influence."

Bulkhead was surprised and amazed by Mimi's action. He smiled warmly with chuckle, "Well, Mimi, guess I was wrong about you. Sorry about that. You may be rich and act like spoiled brat, but you really are nice and kind girl."

Mimi smiled with a giggle, "And you may be a giant but you have the heart of gold."

Palmon smiled, "Glad to see you two get along…"

Thanks to Izzy's Analysis on Guilmon's Ability and Digivolution, Tai and Agumon helped and trained BenGuilmon to be strong and fast as he can be. Struggled with his new form and ability, he kept on practicing and sparring with Agumon until he gets better. He obtained the abilities of Pyro Sphere, Rock Breaker, Fire Mitt and Ki Charge, which proven to be useful him to face the enemies. They have been training for an hour as they became exhausted and tired until both Agumon and BenGuilmon unleashed their Pepper Breath and Pyro Sphere that knocked them off to the ground.

"You guys okay?" Tai asked in concern while helping Agumon to get up.

"Yeah. That was tough training. I'd never train a Digimon before in my life," Agumon commented in exhaustion. He looked at BenGuilmon, "How are you doing?"

BenGuilmon sighed, "Never better. I'm getting better and stronger than before, though I'm getting hungry.

Agumon snickered, "Well, what do you expect? When you used a lot of attacks and power, you get hungry quicker than before." He felt his stomach growling, "Boy, am I hungry."

"Honestly, you two." Tai remarked with chuckle. He looked back and found Julie, Arcee, Sora, Kari and their Digimon Partners arrived at the scene. They even brought some fruits and cooked fishes. He smiled and greeted, "Hey, girls."

"Hey, Tai. How's the training with BenGuilmon?" Sora asked curiously while looking at BenGuilmon and Agumon resting on the ground. She smiled, "Must be tough to train a new Digimon."

Tai nodded a bit, "Yeah. BenGuilmon has a hard time with his new form but he's a fast learner for getting hang with it and his new power. Gotta say for a guy with alien powers, he's very good."

"That's Ben." Julie smiled warmly, "He always find a way to get a hang with new power, no matter how tough it gets, though he can be dumb sometimes."

"And reckless, I supposed?" Kari asked curiously. Julie nodded in agreement. She sighed, "That's how my brother does to help and save others, no matter how dangerous it gets."

"HEY!" BenGuilmon and Tai exclaimed in annoyance.

Arcee smiled amusingly, "I know that feeling. I see some hotshots did some crazy stuffs when facing the danger."

Sora sighed, "Tell me about it. As courageous and tough as they can be, boys can be reckless and cocky when it comes to fighting."

Tai smirked, "Watch it, Sora. Don't forget that I saved you before."

"I know. But I saved you more times than I count," Sora said confidently and playfully. Tai was a bit embarrassed by that. She smiled while patted his back, "But hey, we're the team. We worked together as friends."

Tai nodded, "Yeah, friends."

"More than friends I guess?" Biyomon asked playfully.

Agumon nodded, "Yeah. Seems you two are closer to each other than just being friends."

Tai and Sora blushed and flustered, "What?! Come on! This isn't funny! He's/She's just my friend, not girlfriend/boyfriend! We're just friends! That's all!"

"No worries, guys. Nothing's wrong about having crush on your best friends," BenGuilmon commented, "We have seen it before."

Julie nodded in agreement, "Yeah. We both were too. Nothing to be ashamed."

"Seen it before," Arcee commented. Everyone nodded playfully. Tai and Sora flustered about their crushes on each other. She kneeled down while smiling, "But no worries. Just be friends for now."

"Huh? Wait. You're not encouraging us?" Sora asked in surprise.

Tai added, "Or even making fun of us?"

"Nope. But I'll tell you this. It's okay to like each other whether friends or lovers because you really cared and loved," Arcee said calmly with a smile, "When that time comes, you will finally know and admit your true feelings to each other or someone else."

"Huh? Why not now?" Biyomon asked in surprise.

Gatomon sighed while whacked Biyomon's head, "Don't rush the love, Biyomon. Give them time, okay? Like you say, feel the love."

Biyomon sighed, "I guess you're right."

"But I'm sure they will get to that point," Agumon supported.

"Definitely," BenGuilmon said in agreement. He yelped in surprise as he felt something unusual within. Before anyone could ask, he glowed in bright green as he Digivolve again. He has turned into BenGrowlmon with tighten casual suit. He roared, "Wow! Check me out! I'm Growlmon now!"

"Wow! Guess the training pays off!" Agumon cheered.

Tai nodded, "Yup. He's in Champion Level now. Two more levels to go before you reach Gallantmon."

BenGrowlmon cheered, "Oh yeah! I can't wait for it! I can't wait to get to Mega Level."

"Be careful, Ben. Sometimes reaching that kind of power can be very dangerous," The firm voice said firmly and sternly. Everyone turned back and found fully healed Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Jazz, Raf, Izzy and Tentomon arrived at the scene. He continued, "Because if you're careless with it, the power can corrupt and turn you against the very friends you cared."

BenGrowlmon sighed, "Yeah, yeah. I get that. I've been there before."

"But he's right. Digimon have different kind of forms when they Digivolved. And trust me, not all have to be good. Sometimes bad," Tai said in concern and fear, remembering the terrifying event Matt told him and Agumon about.

Sora nodded, "Just be careful with the Digivolution, it could turn into something terrible and monstrous."

Julie scoffed, "If he does, I'm gonna knock some sense into him or giving true love's kiss."

"Real funny, guys," BenGrowlmon grumbled.

Everyone laughed amusingly and teasingly at BenGrowlmon's predicament. Kari then noticed Moonracer was sitting down near to the river as she was sadly staring at it. She and Gatomon approached to check on her.

"Hey, are you okay?" Kari asked, surprising Moonracer. She smiled uneasily, "Sorry. I didn't mean to startle you. Just checking on you if you're alright."

Moonracer smiled, "Yeah, I'm alright. But thanks for asking. You have nothing to worry about us."

Unconvinced by her answer, Kari asked calmly, "You don't have to lie to me when you're not fine. You can tell me what's bothering you. After all, like my big brother always said, we're the team and friends. It's always best to open up, so we can help you."

Gatomon nodded in agreement, "Don't let her cutie face fool ya. She's smarter and braver than she looks. She wants to help and ease their pain until they're alright. Believe me. She helped me regain my courage to digivolve properly."

"Wow…" Moonracer was surprise to say. She looked at the river for the moment before sighed. She smiled sadly, "You're very lucky to have a good sibling like Tai."

Kari blushed in red with a gentle smile, "T-Thanks. Tai is Tai. He's always there for me whenever I'm in trouble. He protected and saved me a lot. I owed him a lot. I'll make sure that he's stay alive and safe."

"That must be nice. I wish I could've done better for my sister…"

"Oh no. I'm sorry. It must be horrible to see her gone."

"Not gone. She became a Decepticon because of me," Moonracer sadly corrected, shocking Kari and Gatomon. She continued, "She thought I abandoned her when I was trying to get help. But I was too late to save her because Megatron was there and saved her. And now she was convinced that the Decepticons are the right faction for her."

"Oh my…" Gatomon said in disbelief, "I really hate to be her for believing the bad side is the right call. I might do something terrible and regretful to my friends. She has no idea how wrong she is with this group."

Moonracer sighed, "I don't think she would listen to me now. She even disowned me. Now she hates me for betraying her."

Kari couldn't help but sympathized her. She approached and patted Moonracer's hand, surprising the latter.

"I don't believe she would hate you," Kari disagreed, "No brother or sister would hate their own siblings, no matter what problems they have. I still believe that there's good in her."

"Kari…"

"Don't give up on her, Moonracer. We can save her. We'll get her back. We'll tell her that you truly care for her. After all, you and her are sisters, no matter what."

"D-Do you believe so?"

"Yes. Yes, I do. We will save your sister. Just like how Tai saved me and Gatomon."

After thinking of what Kari has said, Moonracer couldn't help but smiled warmly, "Thanks, Kari. Gatomon was right. You're braver than I thought."

"I learn from the best. After all, Taichi is always the best." Kari commented with pride.

Moonracer smiled, "Like I said, you're lucky to have a brother like him."

"How are your wounds, Optimus? You're not in serious condition?" Arcee asked.

Optimus Prime flexed his muscle slowly yet firmly, "I am fine, Arcee. Surprisingly, the DigiEnergon healed my wounds quicker and fully than any regular one did. But at the same time, I felt stronger and better than before."

"You don't suppose that Megatron and his Cons would be using this for Digivolution."

"I am not certain, but you could be right. They might have found a way to master and achieve their evolved forms."

"Prime, I think we've rested enough. We should continue our mission now," Ironhide suggested, "Megatron would probably have figure out on how to Digivolve now."

Matt nodded, "Yeah. But we don't even know where to look."

"Not to worry, guys." Bluestreak said confidently and calmly. He then shown his left gauntlet's scanner revealing the beeping signal. He explained, "I've placed the tracking device on Skywarp. He's leading us straight to his hideout."

"When did you do that?" Rook asked curiously.

Bluestreak smirked, "When Skywarp got his 'butt' kicked by Gallantmon."

"Nice one, Blue!" Gomamon commented happily, making his friends cheered.

BenGrowlmon snorted cockily, "Well then, I can't wait to kick their tin cans, with my Digi Power!"

"Don't forget the teamwork," Tai reminded BenGrowlmon, which his Digimon Partner and friends agreed.

"Do not worry, Tai. We won't. We're in this together to fight the common enemy," Optimus Prime said firmly and determinedly, "Roll out!"

The Autobots transformed into their vehicle modes while Team Ben and Team Digidestined quickly boarded on the Komondomon's back. With his tracking device, Bluestreak is now leading and guiding his team to the enemy hideout. Unknown to them, they were being spied by Laserbeak, Buzzsaw, Ravage and Ratbat. They're now reporting to their masters.

---

Still inside the laboratory basement, Alphamon corpse is still attached to the patient bed, pumped by the DigiEnergon Canister and wired from the machinery and electrical pillars. The Enigma of Combination was even placed on top of his chest. Nauticam and her engineers were making final settings with the machine. Megatron and Myotismon were looking at the corpse with pride and pleased that their plan is coming true.

Approaching to his master, Soundblaster reported, "Lord Megatron! Laserbeak and other Minicons reported that Autobots and their allies are heading this way now."

Megatron smirked, "Excellent, Soundblaster. Give the signal to Starscream and his ambush units to engage them. Alphamon and Enigma of Combination must be completely reenergized."

Soundblaster nodded, "Yes, Lord Megatron."

Before Soundblaster could leave, Megatron and Myotismon found Blackout and Knockout entered the laboratory. And to their shock and surprise, everyone noticed something different with the Decepticon General.

While he maintained large scar on his left side of face and damages on his body; his right hand is now replaced with RizeGreymon's Revolver Arm with its metallic helmet on right shoulder pad, his left arm attached with Machiendramon's Mega Claw with its mecha helmet on left shoulder pad, crimson colored chest plate on his chest, his large Rotor Blades are upgraded into stronger mechanic wingspan-like and has damaged Giga Cannon on his shoulder. Blackout now spawned a new color – blackish-silverish colors with Crest of Courage mark on his chest.

"Blackout? What happened to you?" Megatron asked in shock. He turned and glared at Knockout, "Knockout, what have you done to him?!"

Knockout gulped, "Lord Megatron, please forgive me. Blackout insisted me to help upgrade him with these new parts."

Megatron looked at Blackout, "Tell me, Blackout, why? Why would you do this to yourself?"

"To defeat them," Blackout answered firmly, surprising Megatron. He continued with his fist being clenched, "Defeated by mere human and his pet is something I cannot accept. I sought out and find new weapons and armor that is deemed worthy for me to upgrade, so that I can face them again. Either I'd be victorious or death, they're mine alone to fight."

"I see. To regain your honor and pride," Megatron said understandingly before chuckled a bit, "Very well, Blackout. I will allow you to challenge the boy and his Dinobot-like Digimon alone, but do not forget the mission."

Blackout nodded, "Yes, Lord Megatron. This is the Way."

Megatron and Soundblaster nodded, "This is the Way…"

Blackout and Soundblaster turned and exited out of the hidden laboratory, rendezvous with his allies and prepared to engage and battle the enemies.

DemiDevimon whistled, "That's some warrior you've got there!"

"Indeed, I have. He is, after all, my fearsome hound," Megatron said proudly. He turned and looked at Alphamon corpse, "The Ultimate Power will be mine…"

Myotismon scoffed, "We shall see." He turned and looked at DemiDevimon, "You know what to do."

DemiDevimon winked at him, "Got it, boss. I've got this covered."

---

Few miles have passed, Bluestreak continued leading his team by travelling through the riverside, then entering the dark woods and now travelling the hill's steep road. They have reached and arrived at the top of the hill, where they're now looking at Myotismon's Castle.

"This must be it," Bluestreak said firmly, "The Decepticons' Hideout."

Gomamon gulped in fear, "That's gotta be the creepiest castle I ever seen."

"Tell me about it," Joe agreed in fear, "I always hate horror movies. It always gives me some goosebumps."

Rook hissed in concern, "No doubt the Decepticons are trying to access the Power of Digivolution."

"Well, what are we waiting for?! Let's go in and kick some bad guys' butts!" BenGrowlmon exclaimed impatiently with snorted of flames. Just as he was about to run off, his tail got pulled, making him fell down on the ground. He got up and found Ironhide pulled him. He growled, "Hey! What's the big idea for?!"

"Don't rush in and attack them, Tennyson!" Ironhide said firmly.

"Why not?!" BenGrowlmon asked impatiently.

Looking around of his surroundings, Matt knew why Ironhide stopped BenGrowlmon. He spoke, "Because we're surrounded!"

Just as Matt and Ironhide expected, the army of Vehicon Troopers and Myotismon's Army emerged out from the castle, dark woods and sky. They have surrounded while armed and readied with their weapons at the heroes.

"We really are surrounded," Tetrax commented in concern.

"Is this the part we have to fight and get in?" Sora asked in concern and worried.

Arcee nodded firmly, "Looks like it, kid. There's no other choice."

"Sure wish we could have an army to help us out," Bumblebee commented in concern.

Just as Vehicon Tank Warriors and Devidramon charged straight at the heroes, something has dived and slammed to the ground, knocking them away from them. Everyone was surprised as they're looking at a familiar knight stood before them.

"No way!" Tai said in surprise.

Agumon nodded, "It's Gallantmon!"

Gallantmon turned and looked at three heroic teams. He declared, "I have returned as I've promised."

"I was worried of this." Ratchet commented in concern.

Ironhide and Bulkhead protectively stood in front of Optimus Prime. The Autobot Veteran spoke firmly, "Look, buddy! We don't have time for another rematch! Megatron and his Cons are gonna reach their new evolved forms!"

Bulkhead nodded, "If you dare say 'no' again…"

"I did not come here to fight him," Gallantmon said firmly, surprised everyone. He looked at Optimus Prime, "I've come back to fight besides you. I've brought my friends and warriors here. To repay my debt to, Prime."

More of Gallantmon's allies have come and landed on the ground. His allies consisted of Magnamon, Craniamon, Dynasmon, Crusadermon and Jesmon. The army include PawnChessmon, KnightChessmon, RookChessmon and BishopChessmon. They. Everyone awed in surprise and shock of what they're looking at.

TK awed, "Wow! Are those-?!"

"Yup, Takeru! The Royal Knights are here!" Patamon cheered.

Gatomon smiled warmly, "Just as Prime and I have hoped, Gallantmon did come and join us in this fight."

Kari nodded in approval, "That's good coz we really need the help."

"Prime, go! We'll hold them off!" Gallantmon said firmly, "Stop the Decepticons!"

Optimus Prime nodded firmly, "Understood! Good luck, Gallantmon. Everyone, roll out now!"

The heroes quickly turned and entered Myotismon's Castle at once. Both Vehicon Troopers and Myotismon's Army charged and tried to stop them but they were blocked by Gallantmon and his allies, who fiercely fought back and defeat them as long as they can.

---

Just as the heroes arrived and entered the courtyard, Gatomon's ears twitched as if she heard something that is fast and buzzing. It makes her worried and scared that the attack is going to strike upon them.

"Everyone, stop now!" Gatomon shouted in concern.

Everyone quickly stopped at once when the bombardment launched and hit the ground, causing some explosion. They all looked up and found Starscream, Slipstream and Skywarp descending and landing on the ground. Both Starscream and Skywarp possessed a stronger bodybuilder with their respective colors and has their own weapons. Slipstream has a stronger armor with slight muscle in darker of light purple color.

"Starscream!" Bulkhead snarled angrily.

"Wait a minute! There's something different about them!" Arcee said in concern while looking closely at three Seekers. She gasped, "Oh no! They digivolved!"

Starscream chuckled, "Indeed, we have. It's good to have my upgrade back again. Starscream Superior Mode has returned!"

"Lamest name ever, Scream!" Skywarp commented, "Skywarp Super Mode is better than your lame name!"

Slipstream groaned, "You and your ridiculous codenames. At least, Slipstream Blaze Mode sounds better. So, less talking and more focusing on battlefield! Megatron doesn't tolerate failures!"

"Shut up, Slipstream! I'm you commanding officer!" Starscream Superior Mode shouted at his subordinates. He turned and glared at the Autobots and their allies. He cleared his throat, "Now, Autobots, surrender if you wish to-!"

BOOM! Starscream Superior Mode's chest got punched and thrown straight against the wall. And at the same time, Jazz unleashed his Sonic Boom Buster to blow them off to the sky. Ironhide and Jazz were responsible of knocking the Seekers off.

"Go, Prime! Find and stop Megatron!" Ironhide said firmly, shocking Optimus Prime. The Autobot Leader tried to protest. He spoke, "Don't argue with me! You, Tennyson, Kamiya and blonde are the only who can stop him!"

Jazz nodded in agreement, "Ironhide's right. We'll hold Starscream and his goons off! Now go!"

Optimus Prime disliked the idea of letting his friends face the enemy especially when they're in evolved forms. He sighed reluctantly, "Very well. Stay alive, old friend."

"You too, Optimus," Ironhide said firmly. The rest of his team entered the castle at once. He and Jazz are facing Starscream Superior Mode and his officers. To his surprise; Tetrax, Matt, Gabumon, Joe and Gomamon remained on their sides. He groaned, "I thought I told you get going!"

Matt scoffed, "What makes you think I'd listen to you, old timer? Besides you owe me a rematch."

"He means he cares for you," Gabumon explained, making Matt annoyed.

"We're the team. We don't leave them behind!" Joe said firmly.

Gomamon nodded, "Yeah! United we stand as they say!"

"They're right. We're facing the Decepticons in their new and powerful forms," Tetrax said firmly, "Best to stick and work together against our common enemy."

Jazz whistled, "They do make the point."

Ironhide groaned, "Fine. Don't get cocky, kid."

Matt smirked, "Wouldn't dream of it."

Starscream Superior Mode chuckled, "Aw, yes, the very same humans that ruin me. I shall claw you all to pieces for challenging me! Attack!"

Starscream Superior Mode and his two henchmen charged straight at their enemies. Luckily, Gabumon and Gomamon quickly Warp Digivolved into WereGarurumon and Zudomon at once. The giant walrus-like Digimon quickly used his Thor Hammer to block and hold three Seekers off. Ironhide, Jazz and WereGarurumon quickly punched and knocked them off. Ironhide and WereGarurumon attacked Starscream Superior Mode. Jazz, Tetrax and Zudomon fought Skywarp Super Mode and Slipstream Blaze Mode.

Ironhide swung his punches at Starsceram Superior Mode, who firmly and swiftly blocked and knocked them before kicked him to the ground. WereGarurumon jumped and tried to attack him but he slapped him off. The Seeker Commander turned his attention to Autobot Veteran, who recovered and gave the uppercut on his face before hit on the guts. Before he could continue the attack, Starscream activated and fired his Null Ray Cannon to blast Ironhide off. Before he could do anything, the Autobot Veteran recovered and fire his Ion and Missile Cannons to blast him off. And at the same time, WereGarurumon charged and jumped on all of his body as he struck both Wolf Claw and Garuru Kick on him. Ironhide swung and knocked the Decepticon Commander off from the ground.

Skywarp Super Mode charged and Zudomon engaged a fierce duel between them. Both Jazz and Slipstream Blaze Mode were firing and shooting their guns at each other while dodging and evading the blasts swiftly and quickly. Just as they were busy engaging him; Tetrax, on top of walrus-like Digimon's head, fired his Diamond Shards on them, distracting them as long as he can. This annoyed and irritated them a lot. They quickly moved back as once while readied with their special attacks to strike them. But instead, Zudomon and Jazz unleashed their Vulcan's Hammer and Sonic Boom Buster at them off.

Starscream and his minions struggled to fight back against Ironhide and his team. Just as they unleashed their powerful attacks, Skywarp Super Mode held his friends' as he teleported them off before they get blasted off. The heroes kept their eyes out for the enemies. Skywarp Super Mode and his reappeared in midair. Starscream Superior Mode dived down as he swiftly and quickly swung and struck Death Claws on both Ironhide and WereGarurumon for couple of times before unleashing his Null Ray Cannons to blast them off. Slipstream Blaze Mode unleashed her Flash, blinding Jazz, Zudomon and Tetrax before she charged in and unleashed her Fury Combat Attack on both of them. Skywarp Super Mode loaded up and fired his twin Hyper Cannons at them. Just as Ironhide and his team just recovered and get up, Starscream and his officers stood together as they concentrated and combined their power of Air Superior Destroyer at them off straight against the walls. They all groaned and moaned in pain before dropped to the ground hard.

Starscream Superior Mode chuckled amusingly, "So much for the mighty Digimon! With these evolved forms, you never stand a chance against us!"

"Don't bet on it!" WereGarurumon shouted firmly while painfully to get up.

Zudomon nodded while firmly got up, "We're just warming up!"

"Don't forget about me. I'm not out yet," Tetrax said firmly.

Tetrax, WereGarurumon and Zudomon gave the battle cry as they both charged and attacked Starscream Superior Mode and his warriors. Slipstream Blaze Mode activated her Flash, blinding them for the moment. Starscream Superior Mode and Skywarp Super Mode swung and struck their Death Claws and Great Mace Strike to knock them off. She joined in and fired her Blazing Gun to burn them alive. Luckily, Tetrax summoned his Crystallized Wall to protect them from the attacks. However, the Seekers continued attacking and breaking down the wall.

"This is bad! This is really bad!" Joe exclaimed in fear.

"It's not over yet, Joe! We can still fight and win," Matt said determinedly and firmly while clenched his fists, "No matter how strong our opponents are, we will never back down and keep on fighting. We'll never give up! That is what we always do!"

Joe was surprised yet amazed, "Yeah! We're a team and friends. As long we have each other, we're not gonna lose."

"That's the spirit! Let's get our friends up!" Matt agreed. He turned and approached to Ironhide, "Come on, old timer! Stand up now!"

Joe nodded while shaking Jazz to get up, "Come on, Jazz! We need you now!"

"Sorry, kid… Can't get up…" Jazz groaned in pain, "Too strong…"

Ironhide grunted, "Yeah. I'd never face someone so stronger than me. Let alone Starscream… Damn it…"

"Don't you dare talk like that, jerk! It's not over yet! Get up! Get up now!" Matt snapped angrily. Ironhide looked at him in confusion. He continued firmly, "If we die now, then our friends will too!"

"Don't you think I'm trying?!" Ironhide grumbled.

Jazz nodded weakly, "He's right. The Cons got Digivolution while we don't. What can we do to beat him?"

"So what? It doesn't matter how tough our enemies are, we're not giving up without the fight!" Matt snapped firmly, "And not to mention, our friends are depending on us to come back and help them! If we died now, then we failed them. Plus, old timer, you owe me a rematch."

"Matt…" Ironhide said in surprise.

Joe nodded firmly, "Jazz, I owe you one for making me realize that my reliability and helping the team is what makes me a good leader! And there's no way I'm giving on you now! No one is! Your team needs you now! Stand up now!"

Jazz sighed, "Good reliable Joe as they say. They're right. We can't give up now. our team need us now."

Ironhide nodded, "Yeah. Prime's depending on us. We're not backing down! Not now! Not ever!"

(Break the Chains – Takayoshi Tanimoto)

Suddenly, Matt and Joe's Digivice's glowed brightly in blue and silver. They held the devices up with the Crest of Friendship and Crest of Reliability icons appeared on screens. And at the same time, Ironhide and Jazz glowed bright in respective colors. They began deigivolving and transforming into their next forms.

"IRONHIDE DIGIVOLVED TO… ARMORHIDE!

JAZZ DIGIVOLVED TO… STREETLIGHT!"

Ironhide has turned into Armorhide – a larger and muscular crimson-colored warrior wearing Roman Helmet, his hands are armed with Heavy Iron Buster and Heavy Shotgun Buster, shoulder pads loaded with Twin Missile Cannons and his chest has large nose cannon. Jazz has turned into silver colored Streetlight with golden and black streaks and has winged doors-like on back as he armed with Crossbow Strike Buster.

"Wow. T-They digivolved! The robot digivolved!" Joe exclaimed in surprise.

Matt smirked, "Yeah. Still feeling old, old timer?"

Armorhide scoffed while cracked his fists, "I'm just warming up!"

"Oh yeah!" Silverstreet cheered, "Let's show the Cons we're made of!"

Starscream and his warriors have beaten and tired WereGarurumon and Zudomon. Before they could finish them, Armorhide unleashed his Arsenal Attack to blow them off. And at the same time, Streetlight charged in as he engaged his Ninjutsu Fist Strike on them before kicked them off. They then helped Digimon Partners to get up.

"Wow! You Digivolved?" WereGarurumon asked in surprise.

Tetrax whistled, "Way to go, Guys!"

"Yeah. All thanks to your friends," Armorhide commented with pride smirk.

Streetlight smiled, "What say we wrap this up?"

"Took the words out of my mouth!" Zudomon cheered and armed with Thor Hammer.

Starscream Superior Mode growled, "Even you Digivolve, it won't be enough to defeat us!"

Armorhide smirked, "Let's see who's right, Screamy!"

Starscream Superior Mode and his minions charged and attacked Armorhide and his allies, who stand firmly and fought back.

Starscream Superior Mode fiercely and swiftly punched and kicked at Armorhide, who activated his Armor Up to endure the attacks, fought and punched back at him. Just as both warriors continued punching and kicking at each other for couple of times, WereGarurumon jumped to him while unleashing his Wolf Claw and Garuru Kick on his face. He quickly grabbed and thrown him off. But luckily, Armorhide unleashed his Plasma Cannon from his chest at Starscream Superior Mode before grabbed and thrown WereGarurumon at the enemy. WereGarurumon unleashed his claws on his face again. Armorhide swung and slammed his punch at the Seeker Commander's face. This annoyed and angered him to unleash his Null Ray Cannon to blow at them. Armorhide unleashed both Plasma Cannon and Arsenal Attack to clash before unleashed the explosion. Both of them charged and resumed their fierce fight, with WereGarurumon jumped and bounced over him while unleashing his Wolf Claw and Garuru Kick on him.

Skywarp Super Mode and Zudomon engaged a fierce fight with their own weapons, though they managed to hit each other's sides. Streetlight and Slipstream Blaze Mode, using their Speed Power, fought and battled each other through combats for couple of times. Just as both sides clashed for the moment, two Seekers knocked them both aside to get slam on. Armed with their Hyper Cannon and Blazing Gun, they both fired on their enemies. Luckily, Tetrax summoned the Crystallized Wall to block and withstand the attacks. Both Zudomon and Streetlight activated and fired their Vulcan's Hammer and Sonar Light Burst to blow them off. They charged and attacked them swiftly and quickly before giving them the chance. Just as they recovered, they were about to attack but got injured and struck by Tetrax's Diamond Shards and Crystallized Strike.

Starscream and his minions regrouped as they unleashed their Air Superiority Destroyer on their targets. Armorhide transformed into Armored Tank Turret while merging together with Streetlight. They both unleashed and fired Super Double Blasts against the Seekers' attacks. WereGarurumon, entered in his Sagittarius Mode, fired Alnas Shot and Zudomon unleashed his Vulcan's Hammer as they're powering up their friends' power to push and blast straight at the Seekers, engulfing in smoke. As soon as it dispersed, Starscream Superior Mode and his Seeker were alive, though injured.

"You're gonna have to do better than that!" Starscream Superior Mode snapped angrily.

With everyone shown their confident smirks, Armorhide remarked, "Wouldn't have it any better."

Armorhide and his team charged and continued their fierce battle against Starsceram Superior Mode and his warriors now.

---

The heroes continued running down the hallway while battling the Vehicon Tank Troopers and Devidramon Soldiers. As BenGrowlmon fought the enemies by unleashing Pyro Blaster, Dragon Slash and Raiden Blade; he began to digivolve and became WarBenGrowlmon.

"Wow! I'm getting close to Gallantmon Form sooner than I thought," WarBenGrowlmon said hopefully.

"Can't wait to see how you go with green, white and black," Tai commented.

Armorstrike smiled, "Yeah. Probably might be the worse or great look on you."

WarBenGrowlmon scoffed, "Well, I'd better be a good look because I'm becoming a Knight in Shining Armor."

The heroes have arrived and entered the Great Hall, where they found four familiar enemies stood before them. They're now in their evolved forms now – Warhammer, Airachnid became Blackarachnia – the black-purple colored female Cybertronian merged with large Abdomen that has large six legs, twin large claws and twin spider spears-like on shoulder pads, Barricade is now a dark blue-white colored armored Cybertronian Commando-like Commando Barricade armed with large fists and new weapons

"We've got company!" Armorstrike exclaimed in concern.

Bulkhead snapped, "Our archrivals are here!"

Arcee groaned, "Just what we need…"

"Arcee and her new friends! Welcome! We've been expecting you!" Blackarachnia greeted warmly yet sinisterly. She giggled amusingly, "What do you think of our new forms?"

Commando Barricade remarked, "Better and stronger than before."

Warhammer roared wildly, "Ready to fight!"

"Ugly if you mean," Bulkhead said firmly.

Bumblebee scoffed, "Yeah. We're not afraid of you guys!"

Turned to Optimus Prime, Arcee spoke firmly, "Optimus, go! We'll hold them off!" Optimus Prime looked concern and worried. She nodded, "We've got this."

Optimus Prime nodded, "Be careful, you three."

Arcee nodded firmly and determinedly. She, Bulkhead and Bumblebee charged and held their rivals back as long as they can. And at the same time, the rest of their friends headed off at once, continued their searching for Megatron and his minions. And at the same time; Sora, Biyomon, Mimi, Palmon, TK and Patamon were hesitated and reluctant about leaving their friends behind to fight the enemies.

Arcee firmly and determinedly swung and struck her scythes at Blackarachnia, who calmly and amusingly used her spider legs to block and deflect the attacks. And at the same time, she swung and struck her Spider Spears and even firing her Spider Blasters at her. The blue female Autobot struggled to block and deflect the attacks, and even trying to punch and kick at her for few times. Unfortunately, Blackarachnia has proven to be strong and fast for Arcee to handle it as the former firmly swung and struck her Dark Claws and Spider Spears, injuring and wounding her for couple of times. She even launched her Web Shooter, webbing and cocooning her. She smirked amusingly as she can finally torture and finish her archrival for good.

Bulkhead screamed determinedly as he charged and swung his Maces at Warhammer, who let his rival attacking, didn't feel the pain and injuries. The Wrecker panted heavily and exhaustingly as he has used up his energy. The Decepticon Brute smirked amusingly as he began swinging and slamming couple of punches at him to the ground. He barely kicked him off. As he tried to get up and returned to the fight, he got hammered and knocked to the wall. Warhammer charged and swung his hammers on Bulkhead, who barely dodged while struggled to fight back as well. To his shock and disbelief, Warhammer activated and fired his Shoulder Cannons to blow him off.

Bumblebee charged and attacked Commando Barricade, who swiftly and quickly dodge and evade the couple of attacks. Armed with his Black Belt Fists, he swung and struck punches at his rival, who struggled to withstand and fighting back for few rounds until he kicked him off. Armed with his Bee Buster, Bumblebee fired and blasted at Commando Barricade, who disappeared at once. While keeping his eyes out for his archrival, he got punched from behind before gets kicked, struck and knocked on every sides. Bumblebee grunted in pain while trying to stand still but Commando Barricade reappeared and fired his Gauntlet Shot Busters, blowing him off by the chest.

As three Autobots firmly and bravely fought their rivals; five Doumon appeared from all sides as they used the Jugonsatsu Talismans on their backs, causing it exploding. Blackarachnia has webbed and cocooned up Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee to the ceiling. Three of them struggled to get out from their imprisoned webbing.

"Oh yeah… We got them!" Warhammer cheered.

Commando Barricade smirked while crossed his arms, "Not even fit for my taste of challenge. I was expecting my rival to be faster."

"Well, I don't give a crap," Blackarachnia mocked playfully while looking at Arcee, "When I'm done with you, I'm gonna after your dearest family. I'll tell them that she died in vain to stop me."

Arcee screamed in anger, "AIRACHNID!"

Just as Blackarachnia raised her Spider Spear as she prepared to finish Arcee, she and her colleagues got rammed and burnt by Wing Blade. They found Garudamon, Lillymon and MagnaAngemon charged and engaged them. Garudamon bravely faced off Blackarachnia. Lillymon was flying around Warhammer, who was annoyed and irritated to catch her. Armed with his Black Belt Nunchucks, Commando Barricade attacked MagnaAngemon, who dodged and blocked the attacks while fought back.

Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee were surprised and shocked of it. Using her Flight Mode, Armrostrike arrived as she used her Cybertronian Katana to cut down the web cocoons, freeing her allies. Sora, Mimi and TK arrived to check on them while asking them if they're alright.

"Let me guess you wanna help us?" Bulkhead asked, surprised Mimi and her friends. He smiled, "Miko did that a lot."

"We appreciate that." Arcee thanked Sora and her friends. She sighed, "But still, you should have gone with them. This fight with them is very personal. I don't want you all get involved of this."

Bumblebee nodded, "Yeah. They're not someone you wanna mess with. You gotta get out of here now! Where's Raf?!"

"He's safe with Ratchet! But sorry, not a chance," Armorstrike disagreed, surprising three Autobots. She continued, "Maybe you guys forgot what Professor Paradox has said, we need to work together to defeat our common enemies especially when they used the Digivolution."

"She's right. Think about it!" Sora agreed, "If you guys just charged and fight your rivals, you might not stand the chance against them! If you keep on fighting, you might get killed! Your death will only upset and hurt your family and friends! They don't want you to just win, they want you to live and stay with them!"

Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee were surprised. Mimi nodded firmly, "That's right! Don't throw your life for the sake of revenge or winning the fight with them!"

"We have to work together as a team to win," TK pleaded firmly, "So, don't give up now! We're on this together."

Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee was surprised and amazed by their new human friends' words. They realized that they were right. They can't just fight their rivals to die and win. They have to live for the people they treasured and cared for.

"Sora's right," Arcee said firmly, "I can't afford to die. I promised Commander Darby that I'll watch over and protect his family."

Bulkhead nodded, "Yeah. Miko is more than my responsibility, she's my best friend and the only one, who gets me."

"Raf is the only who understands me," Bumblebee said firmly, "I've made promise that I'll be there for him. No matter what…"

"I have to win for them!" Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee shouted in unison.

Armorstrike smiled, "Now that's what I called 'The Spirit of Teamwork'!"

(Break the Chains – Takayoshi Tanimoto)

Suddenly; Sora's, Mimi's and TK's Digivives glowed brightly with the Crest of Love, Sincerity and Hope. This affected Arcee, Bulkhead and Bumblebee to glow brightly in the colors of red, green and yellow. They're all now digivolving and transforming into their new forms.

"ARCEE DIGIVOLVE TO… LUNAR MUSHA!

BULKHEAD DIGIVOLVE TO… LEO BREAKER!

BUMBLEBEE DIGIVOLVE TO… GOLDBUG!"

Arcee retained a similar upgraded blue-white colored samurai armor that was given by Switchblade. Bulkhead now obtained African Tattoos around his body, a large and stronger lion-themed armor, straw-like shoulder pads, armored beast-like gauntlets with claws, and beats armored leg pads. Bumblebee has grown a bit taller with golden colored armor with blackish streaks, and his head became armored helmet with horns and has bee-themed battle mask-like. This surprised and amazed everyone else.

Garudamon firmly sand bravely swung and struck her punches at Blackarachnia, who firmly used her Spider Spears to block and deflect the attacks before she rammed and stabbed her spears on her wings and chests. While holding her prey against the wall, Blackracnia hissed out before taking the bite on the humanoid bird-like Digimon's neck, absorbing and draining her blood. She suddenly got struck and slashed by the Crescent Blades before she got punched by powerful Tekkaido. Lunar Musha turned and helped Garudamon to stand up.

"Arcee?" Garudamon asked hopefully.

Lunar Musha nodded confidently, "Yup. Call me 'Luna Musha'."

"Warrior of the Moon?" Garudamon asked. Lunar Musha nodded. She smiled, "That sounds like you. I can feel the love from Sora's in you. Just like mine, she's giving you, her strength."

"Yeah. The love of my partners, friends and family gave me strength," Lunar Musha nodded while armed with her Crescent Katana as she faced at Blackarachnia. She asked, "Ready?"

Garudamon smirked and nodded, "I am."

"Ooh… My toys to play with," Blackarachnia mocked, "I'm gonna enjoy this one."

Blackarachnia fired her webbing at Garudamon and Lunar Musha. They both quickly dodged the attacks before unleashed both Crescent Blade and Wing Blade to cut and burn down the webbings. The Queen Spider-like charged and struck her Spider Legs at them. They quickly used Crescent Blade and Phoenix Claw to block and deflect the attacks while striking and attacking her back. Though she has proven to be strong opponent, they refused to be stopped and continued attacking her. Just as they made clash against her for the moment, Blackarachnia raised up while using her abdomen transform into Driller Destroyer to charge and attack them. Luckily, Garudamon summoned the Fire Hurricane to clash and deflect the attack off. And at the same time, Lunar Musha summoned and unleashed her glowing blue-colored Moonlight Speed Slashes at her, cutting down her legs and injuring her more. This angered and annoyed Blackarachnia to relentlessly charge and attack them both. They both withstand and attack her.

Lillymon kept on dodging and flying around Warhammer while firing her Flower Cannon at him. Just as she was flying straight at him from back, he turned and whacked her with his two bare hands. He was about to squeeze her to death until he got rammed off by Leo Breaker, who was able to get the hold on Lillymon.

"Bulkhead?" Lillymon asked in surprise yet painfully.

Leo Breaker nodded with a wink, "Yup. Call me the 'Leo Breaker the Lion Warrior!" He and Lillymon turned and looked at Warhammer, who got from the ground, he asked, "Ready for kick some metal hides?!"

Lillymon nodded firmly, "You bet!"

"D-Destroy! Destroy!" Warhammer roared out loud.

Warhammer charged straight at his enemies. He swung and slammed his large hammer at Lillymon and Leo Breaker. While the flower fairy-like Digimon dodged, Leo Breaker armed with his Lion Club to clash and block it. They departed before fiercely engaged and fought against each other for couple of rounds, though they managed to hit and struck on the faces and body. Just before Leo Breaker could do anything, Warhammer used his Twin Cannons to blast him off. Lillymon dived in and distracted him while firing her Flower Cannon and thrust her Vicious Vine on him. This irritated and annoyed a lot as he tried to struck her down until he managed to get a grip on her. He roared at her, preparing to feast on her. He suddenly has his sensitive part hit again before dropped down and let go of Lillymon to go. He looked up and found Leo Breaker unleashed his Lion Punches on his face and body for couple of times before unleashed his Lion's Roar to blow him off. He managed to recover. Warhammer is furious and annoyed as his body was fueled with red blazing flames before charged and attacked Leo Breaker and Lillymon, who firmly fought back against him.

MagnaAngemon struggled to fight with Commando Barricade, who skillfully and quickly dodged and evaded the Excalibur Blade's Excali-burst and Judgment Slash. However, he got blasted and shot off by Barricade's swinging Black Belt Nunchucks at him off. He was about to fire his Gauntlet Shot Buster at him. He got kicked off by Goldbug. He then armed himself with Bee Stinger Buster.

"Back away from my friend, Barricade!" Goldbug exclaimed firmly. He turned to MagnaAngemon, "You okay?"

MagnaAngemon nodded, "Yeah. Nice armor, Bumblebee."

Goldbug smiled beneath his mask while giving out his thumbs up. He and MagnaAngemon turned and faced Commando Barricade, who activated his Stealth Ability. They quickly keep their eyes out for him to make a move. Just as they expected; they got struck by punches, kicks and even blasted until they dropped to the ground. They grunted in pain while struggled to get up until Commando Barricade reappeared. Unexpectedly, he got his leg struck by MagnaAngemon's Excalibur's Blade before Goldbug kicked him off. Both of them swung and struck their punches and kicks at each other for couple of rounds. Activated Bee Stinger Buster and Gauntlet Shot Buster, both Goldbug and Commando Barricade swung and struck their blaster at each other, causing powerful force to repel and knock them off. They managed to recover before charged and resumed the attack. To the Decepticon Scout's surprise, MagnaAngemon summoned his Gate of Destiny to fire and knock him off. And at the same time, Goldbug transformed and rammed his car straight at Commando Barricade off before turned back to kick him off. Both of them resumed their fierce fight with each other while MagnaAngemon supported and helped him to fight off his rival.

As three Autobots and Digimon Partners continued battling their rivals, five Doumon used the Fog of Confusion Talismans around the Decepticons. They were shocked and confused as they're unable to see and find them. This allowed the Decepticoms to fight and attacked them before giving them the chance to fight back. However, they arrogantly focused on their magic tricks with the enemies, Armorstrike dashed in as she swung and struck her Cybertronian Katana to cut down her enemies. Her friends regained their sights and fought back against the enemies properly and firmly. And at the same time; Sora, Mimi and TK cheered and supported their friends to win.

---

The remaining heroes continued running through the hallway as they're heading off to the throne chamber, which they believed that the enemy leaders could be hiding. They also have to fight off both Vehicon Troopers, Bakemon and Vilemon.

"You sure it's good idea to leave your girlfriend behind?" Tai asked.

WarBenGrowlmon smiled confidently, "Don't worry about her. She can handle it. What about your girlfriend, Mimi and TK?"

"They can handle it. Sora's a tough girl. No way they can take her down," Tai said proudly. He yelped in realization, "Hey, come on! She and I are friends, okay! Yeesh!"

Kari smiled a bit, "Well, you do like Sora obviously, Onichan."

Taichi groaned, "Like and love aren't the same thing, Hikari…"

They now have arrived at the armory area. The ground suddenly got blasted. They all turned and looked on the right, where they found Blackout stood before them.

"I've been waiting for you…" Blackout said firmly.

"Blackout?" Ratchet asked in shock and surprise. He then noticed something different on him, "By the Allspark, what have you done to yourself?!"

"This?" Blackout asked calmly as he looked at his body while lifting up his Revolver. He scoffed, "This is merely an upgrade to my body for my rematch. You and your pet better be ready for the second round because I will defeat and destroy you! I will regain my honor and my pride!"

Everyone especially Tai and Agumon was surprised by Blackout's statement especially his 'honor' and 'pride'. His statement has reminded Digidestined of Courage and his Digimon Partner of Ogremon, who said the same thing and challenged them before his death. They both looked at each other before nodded firmly as they know what they have to do now.

"Absurd!" Ratchet exclaimed angrily and firmly, "Since when did you ever want to do with honor and pride?! All ever you think about is destroying anything that stand in Megatron's way! You're his hound!"

Optimus Prime nodded firmly, "Indeed. I will never allow Tai and Agumon to face you."

"Yeah!" Kari agreed firmly while clenching her Digivice, "If you want my brother, you're gonna have to go through me!"

"Guys! That's enough!" Tai said firmly, shocking and surprising everyone. He continued, "Agumon and I are gonna do what Blackout wanted. We're accepting his challenge!"

Everyone was shocked and surprised by his answer. WarBenGrowlmon shouted, "Tai! Are you crazy?! This is a Decepticon! He doesn't give a crap about honor!"

"He's right. It could be a trap!" Rook said in concern.

"No, it isn't," Tai disagreed, shocked and surprised his friends. He turned and looked at Blackout, "He really want to challenge me to regain his pride and honor."

"What makes you say that?" Bluestreak said in doubt.

"Because we have fought someone like him before," Agumon said firmly. He sighed, "But we'd never get the chance to finish the fight. So, this time, I want to honor it with pride and honor."

Tai nodded in agreement, "Besides, you guys have to stop Megatron!"

Everyone is surprised by Tai and Agumon's determination and declaration. Optimus Prime sighed in frustration as he disliked the idea of letting the children fighting Decepticons because they're bigger and stronger.

"Very well, Tai. I will let you faced him," Optimus Prime said firmly yet reluctantly.

WarBenGrowlmon snorted, "I'll stay and fight besides with them." He turned and glared at Blackout, "Hey! You're okay with this? I don't trust you."

"Fine by me as long as he fights me," Blackout said firmly, "I want to face MetalGreymon!"

"And I will," Tai said firmly. He turned and looked at Kari, "Hikari, go with them. You'll be safer with them."

Kari shook her head, "No! I don't wanna leave you again! I don't want to lose you again!"

Tai smiled confidently while patted her head, "Don't worry, Hikari. I'm not alone. But you have to be strong and brave to help others. Can you do it, little sis?" Kari was reluctant and scared before nodded a bit. He smiled as he hugged her, "That's my sister. Be brave."

Kari nodded, "I will."

"Be careful, Taichi," Izzy added in his concern, "Blackout possessed the Digimon's Accessory such as RizeGreymon and Machinedramon's weapons. He now has the advantage to defeat MetalGreymon and even his alternate mode, unless you go Mega Level."

Tai nodded, "Thanks for the tip, Koushiro. We'll take care of this."

Optimus Prime and his team turned and headed off to find and deal with Megatron. Agumon warp digivolved to MetalGreymon Alteros Mode. He and WarBenGrowlmon turned and facing at Blackout now. The Decepticon General is armed with his new weapons while facing at him.

"I wasn't sure if you would accept my challenge," Blackout mocked.

Tai scoffed with his determined eyes, "You weren't the first bad guy asked for a duel. We didn't get the chance to finish it. Hopefully, this time, we do it right."

"I see…" Blackout said amusingly, "Very well, boy. We will fight till the finish with honor and pride. Only one of us will stand while another will fall!"

WarBenGrowlmon snorted, "Well, let's get started!"

MetalGreymon Alteros Mode growled, "Yeah! We're gonna win this, Blackout! Count on it!"

MetalGreymon Alteros Mode and WarBenGrowlmon gave the loud roar before they charged out at once. Blackout did the same thing as well. When both sides come close, they made their fierce clash and began the fierce duel.

(Xtreme Fight – Takayoshi Tanimoto)

Just as MetalGreymon Alteros Mode and WarBenGrowlmon jumped and about to strike their metallic claws, Blackout quickly used his Mega Claw to knock them aside. He then used his Trident Revolver at them. They barely blocked and deflected the blasts for the moment. MetalGreymon Alteros Mode launched his Mega Claw while WarBenGrowlmon charged and readied with his Radiation Blade. Just as the Mega Claw struck at Blackout, he quickly used his Revolver to knock it aside before using his Wing Span to strike and repel the giant mechanic dinosaur-like back to MetalGreymon Alteros Mode to the wall.

Blackout opened his chest plate, reading the cannons as he unleashed and fired his Rising Destroyer at his enemies. Spotting the attack, both MetalGreymon Alteros Mode and WarBenGrowlmon activated and fired both Giga Storm and Blaster, clashing and colliding the attack before they exploded and engulfed in smoke. The Decepticon General charged and rammed both of them off. Raising both Revolver and Mega Claw, he engaged and attacked them, who used theirs to fight back for couple of rounds. Just as WarBenGrowlmon and MetalGreymon Alteros Mode swung their Pendulum Blade and Mega Claw, Blackout blocked it with his Revolver. While they both were still clashing their blades, the Decepticon General activated and fired his Giga Cannon to blow them off for couple of times. He then activated and unleashed his Rising Destroyer to blow them off. He approached to his fallen enemies, preparing to finish them off.

To his surprise, MetalGreymon Alteros Mode used his Positron Blaster to fire and shot nearly at Blackout, who barely dodged from getting shot on his head. The Decepticon General fired his Crack Bullet back at his newly archrival's left-handed weapon. He then charged and struck his Mega Claw at him but blocked and deflected by WarBenGrowlmon, who fiercely and determinedly battled with him for couple of rounds. He fired his Atomic Blaster to blow him off. Just as he swung his tail at the Decepticon General, he grabbed and held his before swung him around for three times before throwing straight at the armory. He then fired his Trident Revolver and Giga Cannons to fire and blowing it up in smokes. He turned his attention to MetalGreymon Alteros Mode, who got up from the ground. Both of them charged and engaged a fierce fight with their Mega Claws for five times before they fired Trident Revolver and Positron Blaster at each other, causing a small explosion that knocked them off. Just as they recovered, the Decepticon General quickly fired his Crack Bullets at metal Tyrannosaur Rex-like Digimon, who firmly blocked and deflected the blasts before charged and rammed at him off. Just as he was about to defeat his enemy, Blackout swung and struck his Wing Span at him thrice before kicked him off. He then fired his Giga Cannon to blow him off.

MetalGreymon Alteros Mode groaned in pain as he struggled to get up. Blackout kicked and stomped him to the ground.

"You're truly a worthy opponent, MetalGreymon. I enjoyed this fight very much. It was fun," Blackout commented amusingly yet calmly. He opened and activated his chest plate, readying Rising Destroyer. He continued, "Unfortunately, this is where the fun ends. My honor and pride can be regained. And your boy will be next to deal with."

"Leave Taichi out of this!" MetalGreymon Alteros Mode snarled angrily.

Just before Blackout could finish him, he got electrocuted and shocked by the attack. Everyone turned and looked back to the armory. They found Gallantmon stood before them, however, he looks different. He now wears blackish-greenish armor with golden colored bars, also greenish visor and has an Omnitrix Symbol on his chest wielded the white colored lance and blackish-greenish shield.

"Ben?" Tai asked in surprise.

Gallantmon-like nodded firmly with his firm and serious voice, "Yup. I have finally reached my Mega Level! I am now GallantKnightmon! Ready to fight!"

Blackout scoffed, "Did you really honestly believed that your digivolution to Mega Level makes any different?"

"And yours not?" Tai asked in confusion.

"Unlike my comrades, I did not digivolve," Blackout said firmly, surprise everyone. He continued, "I've fought and defeated my preys and gain the spoils of war, so I can upgrade myself. To prove that even without the Digivolution, I can still fight and defeat you all."

"Wow. And I thought Vilgax is crazy to fight the toughest guy in town," GallantKnightmon commented in shock.

Tai hummed in realization, "So, that's why you want us to fight MetalGreymon so badly."

Blackout growled, "Indeed. This is where it ends! I will be victorious!"

Armed with his Trident Revolver and Mega Claw, Blackout fiercely charged and fought both MetalGreymon Alteros Mode and GallantKnightmon. They both armed with their weapons, defensively and firmly endure and blocked the attacks. Three of them have proven themselves very strong and fierce of fighting and winning the fight. Decepticon General was about to fire his Giga Cannons, but both Digimon quickly struck Alter Blade and Lightning Joust at them, destroying them off. They then swung and punched him off. He armed and unleashed his Rising Destroyer at them but GallantKnightmon used his Omni Shield to block the blast. MetalGreymon Alteros Mode jumped up and fired his Giga Blaster and GallantKnightmon used his Shield of the Just at Blackout, engulfing in big explosion.

Just as both MetalGreymon Alteros Mode and GallantKnightmon landed safely on the ground, they both found Blackout remained standing still, despite the injuries he has suffered. The Decepticon General removed and tossed the damaged Giga Cannons and his Wing Span. He readied with his Trident Revolver and Mega Claw.

"The end of this fight draws near!" Blackout shouted, "Time to finish this."

MetalGreymon Alteros Mode readied with his weapons, "Yeah. Unlike before, no one's messing this up. I'm gonna end this with honor and pride."

"You sure?" GallantKnightmon asked.

"I got this," MetalGreymon Alteros Mode said confidently. He turned and glared at Blackout, "Let's do this!"

Blackout roared, "For the Glory of Lord Megatron and Decepticon Cause!"

Blackout and MetalGreymon Alteros Mode gave their last battle cry while armed with their weapons. They both charged straight at each other. They then swung and struck their weapons while passing them by and then stopped their momentum at once. None of them have made the move since the attack.

Suddenly, both Trident Revolver and Mega Claw got destroyed. Blackout grunted in pain as he received more slashes and cuts on him especially his Spark was exposed and badly damaged. He then dropped on his knees to the ground and nearly fall down. MetalGreymon Alteros Mode sighed calmly as he turned and looked at his defeated enemy, though he received some scratches on his chest and head.

Blackout panted heavily and painfully, "So, I've lost?" He sighed calmly, "Well done. It looks like you truly defeated me, with all your strength and might. But I enjoy this fight with pride and honor. I am honored."

"Blackout…" Tai said in surprise as he approached to Blackout, who suddenly used his left hand trying to reach him. This alerted GallantKnightmon and MetalGreymon Alteros Mode to arm with their weapons. He yelped, "W-What are you doing?!"

"Mark you… For defeating me…" Blackout answered weakly and painfully. Just as he has said, he poked and marked his Energon Blood as the symbol of 'Warrior' and 'Crest of Courage' on Tai's face. He did the same with MetalGreymon Alteros Mode. He sighed weakly, "You are now one of us – the Cybertronian Warrior."

GallantKnightmon whistled, "Now that's something you don't see everything."

Tai blushed a bit, "Gee… Thanks, I think…"

"Yeah. We didn't expect this," MetalGreymon Alteros Mode agreed.

Blackout sighed while looking up at the ceiling, "Lord Megatron, I've fought my best… Forgive me… I… Now… Join the Allspark… May Primus forgive me for long war on Cybertron…"

With the flicker of his spark extinguished, Blackout fell to the ground hard as he has fallen and defeated by the hands of MetalGreymon and GallantKnightmon. Everyone sighed in relief.

"Wow. That was tensed," GallantKnightmon said exhaustedly, "I'd never do the gladiator battle again."

MetalGreymon Alteros Mode nodded, "Yeah. I'm with you. I'm pooped." He sighed, "Still, this fight… It kinda make missed Ogremon a lot."

"Me too." Tai said in agreement with sigh, "But we're not out of the woods yet. Our friends need us now. Let's get moving."

Both of them agreed firmly. As soon as Tai boarded on his Digimon Partner's head, they then moved out to find their friends.

---

After defeating and knocking the Vehicon Troopers and Myotismon's Army, Optimus Prime and his team have reached and arrived at the throne chamber. It was completely empty, and no one's in.

"Damn it. He wasn't here," Ratchet said in disbelief, "He usually fancy around here when it comes to a throne."

Izzy nodded, "Not to mention, whoever the evil Digimon we're dealing with."

"I fear Megatron has other plans with his Digivolutions," Optimus Prime said firmly and seriously, "It might be worse as Professor Paradox predicted."

"You've got that right," DemiDevimon agreed. Everyone looked up and glared at him. He smirked sinisterly, "The name's DemiDevimon. Nice to meet ya!"

"And I'm guessing you're not a friendly one," Kari commented dryly.

Rook nodded in agreement, "Indeed. I can tell of his smile. He can't be trusted."

"Relax. I'm on your side," DemiDevimon calmly assured Optimus Prime and his team. He continued, "Besides, you got more problems to deal with like stopping Megatron from using Digivolution and Enigma of Combination with Alphamon!"

"Alphamon?! Here?!" Gatomon asked in shock and concern, "It can't be!"

"He what?!" Ratchet asked in disbelief, "The Enigma of Combination?! Here?! On this very world?!"

"What is that?" Raf asked in concern.

"An ancient relic that belongs to the first Combiner and one of the Thirteens – Nexus Prime. Its function is combining all Cybertronians into a Combiner," Ratchet explained in concern, "But to use it on a Digimon, Megatron must be fool and mad to think such a thing! There's no telling what kind of side effects or danger he might have!"

"Or worst," Gatomon added in concern, "Because Alphamon is the strongest and most powerful among the Royal Knights! To merge with him, Megatron could become the very dangerous and powerful being that could threaten and destroy ours and other worlds! We can't let that happen!"

Tentomon panicked, "When you put that way, I'm now worried and scared!"

Though agreed with his allies' concerns, Optimus Prime was suspicious and concern to ask, "Why would you help us, DemiDevimon? What are you or your master's planning?"

"You know what they say 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'," DemiDevimon commented with chuckle, "But suit yourself if you don't wanna save our worlds!"

Optimus Prime and his allies were suspicious of DemiDevimon for the moment. But when they looked at each other, they knew that they have to stop Megatron before he gets the chance. They nodded firmly yet reluctantly.

DemiDevimon smiled wickedly, "Follow the little bat now."

DemiDevimon flew off at once. Optimus Prime and his team followed him at once.

"You're not truly trusting him?" Rook asked in concern.

Bluestreak nodded in concern, "I agreed with Rook's concerns. He no doubt leading us to a trap."

"I know. However, as long as he led us to our enemies, we have the chance to stop them," Optimus Prime said firmly, "We cannot let Megatron succeed."

---

At laboratory basement, Megatron was amusingly yet calmly and proudly looking at Alphamon corpse on the patient bed. The DigiEnergon canisters was pumping and energizing into him and the Enigma of Combination. The relic's gem slowly glowed brightly in blue colored. Alphamon's eyes glowed a bit while his hands twitched a bit.

"He's awakening…" Myotismon commented in surprise.

Nautica was typing on computer's keyboards, "Lord Megatron, we're at 80 percent of power outage on the Enigma! 70 percent for reviving Alphamon. We're close!"

Soundblaster nodded firmly, "The preparation for your Fusion Digivolution draws near."

"Yes… Yes…" Megatron agreed with a chuckle, "I can sense it…"

"Lord Megatron, are you certain this is a good idea?" Knockout asked in concern, "The Enigma may not accept organic beings to combine with Cybertronians."

Megatron smirked confidently, "On contrary, Knockout, the Digimon are not organic, but rather merely computer data beings. Therefore, the Enigma will allow me to combine with Alphamon to become a very powerful being!"

"I will not allow this, Megatron!" Optimus Prime's voice shouted.

Megatron and his remaining allies turned and looked back to the entrance. They found Optimus Prime and his forces are standing before them. Gatomon and Tentomon have digivolved into their Ultimate Level.

"Optimus Prime… I see you have made it here," Megatron commented amusingly.

"Myotismon…" Angewomon snarled, "I shouldn't have known it was you, who helped the Decepticons."

Myotismon chuckled, "Ah… If it isn't my dear old friend Angewomon. I see you reunite with your partner."

"Do you know him?" MegaKabuterimon asked.

Angewomon groaned while clenched her fists, "Yes. Myotismon was one of Dark Digimon Commanders during the Ancient Celestial War. After the war, I was badly injured until Myotismon came and defeated me off. And he also murdered my closest advisor – Wizardmon, who was trying to protect me. He sent my DigiEgg to Vademon Cult for me to serve them as SkullKnightmon."

"T-That's horrible." Kari said in shock.

Myotismon scoffed, "Well, I have high hope that you would be serving the Darkness, but clearly, your Light is hard to distinguish. But either way, we will not allow you to interfere our plan."

Megatron chuckled, "Indeed. You have been a thorn to my side for too long, Optimus! Destroy them now!"

The Decepticons nodded firmly. Nautica screamed out loud as she digivolved and transformed into a dark blue-white colored armored Acceleron with a microscope-like blaster on her right shoulder and V-Shaped Helmet-like with golden visor. They're all charged and attacked the Autobots.

Ratchet swung and struck his surgery blades at Soundblaster, who blocked and deflected the attacks before punching him five times before kicking him off. He then summoned and struck his electrical tentacles on his chest, shocking and electrocuting him. He then dragged towards him as he swung couple of punches on him before throwing off against the wall. Soundblaster was about to finish him off until he got rammed against to the ceiling by MegaKabuterimon. He then thrown and slammed him to the ground hard. Just before he could continue attacking, Soundblaster's chest plate opened launched his Minicons. They consisted of blue colored teenage-like Minicon Rumble and his red colored twin Frenzy, silver colored savage jaguar-like Ravage, dark purple-yellow colored vampiric bat-like Rabat, and twin robotic vultures-like with respective colors of red and yellow Laserbeak and Buzzsaw. They all jumped and attacked the rhinoceros beetle's back, annoying and got dragged to the ground. They firmly and relentlessly attacked him. And at the same time, Soundblaster continued battling with Ratchet, who struggled to withstand his attacks.

Moonracer and Angewomon fired their Lunar Shots and Celestial Arrows at Acceleron, who remained calm and firm in her position, used her Positron Turret to blast and shot down the blasts. She charged in as she firmly and swiftly swung her punches on them. They struggled and endured the attacks while trying to fire and shoot down her but she was too fast and quick for them to handle. They managed to regroup at once while trying to shoot down on her. And at the same time, Moonracer chanted and hummed calmly as if she was trying to predict her old sister's move. And just as Acceleron charged in straight at her, Moonracer dodged down before struck her kick at her. She then quickly struck her punches at her before kicked her off. Angewomon armed and fired her Celestial Arrows on her, struck on her chest plates. This allowed her ally to struck a punch on her by face. Unfortunately, this angered and annoyed Acceleron summoned and struck her Naginita at them. They barely dodged the attacks. She firmly and angrily swung and struck her weapon at them.

Bluestreak was firing his Law Enforcer Blaster at Knockout, who panicked in fear, dodging and running for his life while firing back at him. When back to the cornered, the mad doctor armed himself with his saws to fight and attack the law enforcer, who firmly blocked and deflected the attacks while fighting back. Rook was protecting the children at the entrance door while watching the battles. Unfortunately, Phantomon appeared as he was about to strike his scythe on them. Thanks to his instinct, Rook managed to use his Proto-Tool's Tonfa Mode to block and fought back against him.

Izzy, Kari and Raf continued watching the battlefield as they're shocked and scared to see their friends struggled to hold off the attacks. Unable to stand and doing nothing, they all charged into the battlefield to help them.

The Minicons continued attacking and injuring Ratchet and MegaKabuterimon to the ground. Soundblaster launched his two tentacles on them, electrocuting and shocking them until they dropped to the ground. They both groaned and moaned painfully as they struggled to get up. Raf and Izzy were calling while running towards them.

"Don't!" Ratchet shouted, shocking Raf and Izzy. He continued, "Don't come near to us! You'll get hurt! MegaKabuterimon and I got this."

Izzy gasped, "But Ratchet-!"

"Ratchet's right!" MegaKabuterimon said firmly while glaring at the Decepticons. He grunted in pain, "We can handle it. You have more important thing to do like shutting down his work!"

Ratchet nodded, "Indeed. That is the most important thing to do. You and Raf must complete it."

"Ratchet…" Raf said in surprise.

"I have faith in you and your knowledge," Ratchet said confidently, surprising Raf and Izzy. He continued, "You can do it. You can stop this."

MegaKabuterimon nodded, "Me too! You guys are smart enough to pull this off!"

After some thinking of what Ratchet and MegaKabuterimon has said, both Izzy and Raf reluctantly nodded to accept it before they headed off to the computer, where they're trying to shut it down.

Armed and readied with his blaster, Soundblaster spoke, "Error. You were foolish to entrust the mission to mere humans."

"Maybe… Maybe not…" Ratchet said firmly, "But I have faith that Rafael and Izzy can pull this off!"

MegaKabuterimon nodded, "You said it, doc! We didn't go through all the fight for nothing! They're gonna stop you! Count on it!"

"They really count on us…" Izzy said in surprise while looking at the computer.

Raf nodded, "Because they believed in us. And we have to believe in them too because they're not just friends, but family too! Let's give our best!"

Surprised by Raf's determination, Izzy nodded firmly, "Yeah! MegaKabuterimon! Ratchet! I believe in you guys!"

(Break the Chains – Takayoshi Tanimoto)

To their surprise, Raf and Izzy found the Digivice glowed in purple color with Crest of Knowledge. Ratchet glowed brightly in purple color as he began to digivolving and transforming into his new form.

"RATCHET DIGIVOLVE TO… WISERATCHET!"

WiseRatchet, an elderly and wrinkled Autobot worn purple wizard robe-like and hat sitting down on his chair, was formed before the enemies. Soundblaster and his Minicons were surprised and shocked by his new form.

"Ha! Looks like Digivolution made you more cranky old man! This will be an easy as pie!" Frenzy said arrogantly. He fired his Harpoon Missile at WiseRatchet. To his shock and surprise, the missile suddenly turned and struck on his head. It was about to go off. He groaned, "Not this again! Not my beautiful hea-!"

BOOM! Frenzy's head got exploded into pieces before falling on his back. Soundblaster and his Minicons were shocked to see it.

"You should know better that just because I grow old doesn't mean I'm weak. In fact, with age comes with great wisdom," Ratchet said telepathically, shocking his enemies and allies. He smiled confidently, "In fact, did you know that MegaKabuterimon has two special attacks that he never used? And when combined together with my EMP Explosion, did you know it could cause a powerful explosion?"

"You're lying!" Rumble snapped angrily.

"No, he's right!" MegaKabuterimon said firmly. He's on midair. He began to spin himself with electrical shock. He chuckled, "Oh yeah! This is one attack that's gonna knock you off! Super Charge! Super Electric Strike!"

Just before Soundblaster and his Minicons could do anything, MegaKabuterimon unleashed his Super Charge on the Decepticons. WiseRatchet fired his EMP Explosion on the spinning the insect-like Digimon, they unleashed powerful electrical shock before slammed and exploded on them. They regrouped and faced off the enemies. Soundblaster managed to stand up but found out that Buzzsaw was destroyed while Rumble, Laserbeak, Ravage and Ratbat badly damaged.

"You will pay, Autobots!" Soundblaster snapped angrily.

"Come and make us!" MegaKabuterimon said confidently.

MegaKabuterimon and Soundblaster charged and engaged a fierce battle for couple of rounds. He managed to knock them off. He then unleashed his Death Sound Blast at him. WiseRatchet summoned the Barrier to block and deflect the attacks before unleashing his EMP Wave Blast to knock him off. The Minicons recovered and tried to attack but they all have been magnetized by WiseRatchet's Magnet Control. He now toying and knocking each other hard. And at the same time, MegaKabuterimon charged and rammed at Soundblaster, who fought back fiercely while firing his Sonic Burst and Death Sound Blast at him. He barely dodged, though got injured by attacks, continued attacking the Decepticon with the power of Horn Buster.

Acceleron readied and fired her Sonic Turbo Blaster to blast and knock Angewomon and Moonracer to the ground hard. Before she could finish them, Kari stood before them as she protectively held hands out to protect her friends.

"Great… More pests…" Acceleron snarled. She then aimed it at Kari, "Fine, I'll finish them both together."

Moonracer shouted, "Leave her alone, sister! I'm the one you want!"

Kari gasped in disbelief, "So, you're her older sister? Why? Why do you want to hurt her?!"

"Why?! I'll tell you, little brat! She betrayed me! She turned against me when I needed her the most!" Acceleron snapped angrily, shocking Kari. She continued with tears, "I loved her so much. I helped her so much! I protected her so much! But what I get in-return, she abandoned me and let me died! Some younger sister she turned out to be! She's nothing but a problem to me! I hate her!"

Kari was shocked and hurt to hear how Acceleron talked like that, though she admitted that she was right. She did cause some problems especially when she chose to follow SkullKnight than being rescued. She ashamed of that. However, she also knew that her enemy was wrong about one thing.

"Maybe you're right. I did something that caused troubles for my brother. I should be ashamed of myself for that," Kari said in guilt before showing her brave look, "But unlike you, Taichi would never betray and hate me! He helped me! He protected me! He loved me so much!"

"That's the stupidest thing I ever heard! There's no way he would love you after what you have done!"

"That's because he's the best brother I ever had! No matter how much trouble I've gotten into, I'll always love him! And you. You're a horrible sister!"

Offended by insults, Acceleron was about to attack Kari until Moonracer blocked and held off the attack. The former was shocked by her sister's sudden recovery.

"She's right. You're a horrible sister…" Moonracer said sadly yet hurt with tears. She quickly kicked Acceleron off. She continued firmly, "Megatron may have saved you, but you could have come back to us. Instead, you joined the Decepticons because you believed in them, not because of me! You didn't just betray me! You betray yourself! And as Autobot, I won't allow you to harm an innocent life form!"

"You go, Moonracer!" Angewomon cheered firmly.

Kari nodded firmly. And to her surprise, she found her Digivice glowed brightly in pinkish color with her Crest of Light. This affected Moonracer to glow brightly in pink color while screamed out loud.

"MOONRACER DIGIVOLVE TO… LIGHTBRIGHT!"

Moonracer transformed into Lightbright with metallic Japanese straw hat with golden earrings-like, a lighter cyan-greenish colored triangle shaped armor with golden stripes and her face has crimson warpaint. She firmly descended and stood on the ground before Acceleron.

"So, what you digivolved?! You're still no match against me!" Acceleron snapped.

Lightbright sighed, "I digivolved to not fight you but rather finding a way to reach you and make you see the Light."

Acceleron screamed in anger, "Oh, I'm see I see the Light when I knock you out!"

Acceleron charged straight at Lightbright. The Decepticon Engineer swung and struck her punches and kicks at the Autobot Technician, who calmly and swiftly blocked and deflected the attacks. Whenever she dodged the attacks, she lightly punched and knocked her off. She even tried to fire her mounted blaster at her. She used her metallic hat-like to block and deflect the blasts back at her. This shock and surprised her to dodge and evade the attacks. And at the same time, she even threw her Triangle Boomerang at her. She barely dodged the first attack but when it comes, it knocked the back of her to fell down. This irritated and annoyed her a lot as she's unable to land a punch and kick on her. Lightbright remained calm and firm as she continued dodging and evading the attacks while blocking and deflecting the attacks.

For couple of rounds have passed, Acceleron has become exhausted while struggled fighting with her. Lightbright unleashed her cables to attached on her head. She chanted calmly and firmly as she's using Mind Hackler, entering and accessing her older sister's mind to calm her down and even tried to input her memory in her. Acceleron grunted in pain as she tried to resist it making Lightbright struggled in pain. To everyone's surprise, Angewomon activated her Saint Air, which boosted and enhanced Lightbright's ability and weakened Acceleron.

Lightbright successfully hacked and access Acceleron's mind to calm her down as well as understanding her older sister's reason to rebel and input her memory into her. In the mind of her older sister, Lightbright has witnessed Nautica's past involving of her joining the Decepticons, her struggles to be accepted among new crowd in the early days, proving her worth as engineer and weapon master, her friendship and rivalry with them, reading Decepticon History, studying and training, her conflicted hatred and love feelings for her sister despite her allegiance and past. Lightbright was shocked and hurt to see it. At the same time, Acceleron witnessed Moonracer's struggled to move on from her sister's supposed death, nightmares of losing her, study and work very hard as engineer to protect her family and make her proud. This shocked Acceleron about the revelation.

After completing her Mind Heckler, Lightbright disabled her cables from attaching to Acceleron, who then fell to the ground while crying tearfully in pain and sad. She even cried in tears as well. This gained the attention of Kari and Angewomon.

"Lightbright?" Angewomon asked.

Lightbright sighed while wiping her tears off, "I-I'm fine. I just hope she understands that I still love her. Autobot or Decepticon, she's still my sister."

Kari smiled, "She will. I think she will understand it."

"I hope so," Lightbright said hopefully.

Bluestreak and Rook were battling with Knockout and Phantomon, who have proven to be annoying for them to handle. Knockout swung and struck his saw at Bluestreak, who firmly dodged it before swinging and slamming his punches at him for thrice, and then fired his Law Enforcer Blaster. This annoyed and angered the mad doctor to charge and struck his electrical staff at him, shocking him for the moment. Rook struggled to dodge and evade Phantomon's swinging and slamming his giant scythe at him. He even used the flail to grab him but luckily, he grabbed and dragged it down instead, pulling him straight to him before slamming and swinging his Stone Cutter at his face. And at the same time, Bluestreak barely dodged the attack and falling on his back while grabbing and throwing Knockout off. When two enemies clashed on each other, Knockout accidentally shocked Phantomon, who unintentionally used Shadow Scythe on him. Knockout was badly injured with large scar on his paintjob while Phantomon was killed.

Raf and Izzy were trying to deactivate and shut down the computer, unfortunately, it's not accepting their access. Before they could continue, more of darts almost hit them, prompting them to fall down. They looked up and found DemiDevimon was flying on midair.

"Back away from the computer!" DemiDevimon snapped angrily, "Lord Myotismon needs it!"

"You?!" Izzy exclaimed in anger.

"We were right about you!" Raf snapped firmly, "Never trust a bat with evil smile."

DemiDevimon chuckled, "I'm not gonna let you destroy my master's plan! Say goodbye!"

Just before he could strike his Demi Darts, he almost got shot and blasted. He turned and found Bluestreak and Rook aimed their weapons at him. He panicked and flew off at once before he gets blown up.

"You okay?" Bluestreak asked.

"Yeah. Thanks, guys!" Raf and Izzy thanked.

Rook approached to the computer panel, "Allow me to assist!"

Optimus Prime is battling Megatron and Myotismon. As both Autobot and Decepticon Leaders were swinging and crossing their blades against each other, the vampiric Digimon summoned and struck his Crimson Lightning on the Prime's back for few times. This allowed the Decepticon Lord swung and struck punches on him three times before kicked on his guts. He then grabbed and slammed him to the ground. The vampire Digimon Lord summoned and struck his Grizzly Wings upon him, injuring and wounding him further. Though painfully struggled to get up, Optimus Prime armed and swung his Energon Axe to knock and kill off the bats before punched him off. Seeing his nemesis tried to swing his sword from back, he dodged down before kicked him off by the guts. He then fired his Ion Blaster at him thrice. Just before he could continue, Myotismon fired his Nightmare Claw of weakening and wounding him. He barely stood before managed to grab and throw him at Megatron's face before he swung and slammed his Energon Axe at them off. They recovered and resumed their attacks on him. He barely yet firmly dodged and evaded the attacks while fighting back.

Unfortunately, as Optimus Prime moved back, both Myotismon and Megatron swung and struck their attacks on him, throwing to the ground. To their shock and surprise, they got rammed and knocked off by GallantKnightmon and MetalGreymon Alteros Mode. Tai also arrived at the scene.

"Need a hand?" Tai asked. Optimus Prime nodded firmly. He smirked with a wink, "Don't worry. We've taken care of Blackout."

"So, you defeated Blackout?! You will pay for destroying my best warrior!" Megatron commented dryly.

Suddenly, the computer made some beeping noise. The computer screen revealed 100 percent. The heroes were in deep shock and fear of what they just saw. The Decepticons and Myotismon were pleased of it.

"No! We're too late!" Raf shouted in concern.

Izzy groaned before slammed his fist on the panel, "This can't be it! This can't be!"

Megatron chuckled, "Perfect! Now, I can combine with Alphamon to gain my new power and form!"

"On contrary, Megatron, that power belongs to me!" Myotismon declared, alerting yet annoying Megatron. He smirked, "I don't share powers with anyone especially abominations like you."

Before anyone could do anything, Myotismon used his Grizzly Wings on both his former allies and enemies, distracting and injuring them. He quickly flew straight to the Enigma of Combination. However, the annoyed and angry Megatron swung his Gladiator Blade, cutting down the bats. He charged straight at Myotismon while trying to reach the ancient relic.

Just when both Myotismon and Megatron reached and touched the Enigma of Combination, it then glowed brightly in red as it's activating now. It then fired its dark lightning on both of them and even Alphamon, who just opened his eyes and awakened. Shocked and electrocuted, three of them screamed in pain and agony. They're now electronically yet painfully merging together into a sphere of pure darkness with the ancient relic placed on it, giving out final pulse on it.

"What's going on?!" GallantKnightmon asked in concern.

Tai nodded in concern, "What's happening to them?!"

"Our worst fear has come true…" Optimus Prime said in fear.

Before anyone could do anything, the sphere cracked and exploded, unleashing the wave of darkness pouring and knocking almost everyone including the rest of Digidestineds, Team Ben, Autobots and Decepticons out. And at the same time, the explosion also destroyed Myotismon's Castle.

---

Gallantmon and his allies have defeated and destroyed most of Vehicon Troopers and Myotismon's Army at the outskirt. Alerted by the loud explosion especially dark light beamed to the sky, they all turned and looked at the castle, which is now destroyed and in ruins. They quickly headed off and checked on the area. And when they arrived, they found their allies and enemies including GallantKnightmon reverted back into Ben were on the ground.

The Royal Knight and their warriors helped and woke their allies up. Three heroic factions groaned and moaned while getting up from the ground.

"What a relief. You're all alright," Gallantmon said in relief. He continued, "What happened here?"

Ben groaned, "We've just entered the Nightmare Fuel trope now."

While the Royal Knights were confused and uncertain, Rook, still recovering, yelped before screamed in fear, alerting his friends. They all looked at him. He pointed to the front. When they did, they also yelped and screamed in fear of what they just saw. They're now looking at the size of a titan – Megatron worn a dark blackish medieval knight armor with purple trimming, has a blackish helmet with purple-colored curved horns and crimson batwing mask, a long black-reddish bat-like cape and has two airfoils with purple spoilers on the bottom and a smaller patch of closed spoilers along the tips.

"By the Yggdrasil! What is that?!" Gallantmon asked in shock and fear.

"The Enigma of Combination has combined and fused Megatron, Myotismon and Alphamon into a powerful being," Optimus Prime explained.

"Alphamon?! Here?!" Gallantmon asked in disbelief. He looked at New Megatron. He remarked, "Damn it! That fiend dared to desecrate and combined with Alphamon to become powerful being!"

"Just like Professor Paradox has warned us," Ben said in fear.

Armorstrike nodded in concern, "Yeah. This thing's gonna dominates and destroys anything he touches."

"I am the dominator! I am the destroyer! I am MegaMyotismon Overlord!" MegaMyotismon Overlod declared with three voices. He gave an evil laughter. He turned and looked at his weakened Decepticons. He smirked, "Decepticons and Digimons! Feed your master with your digivolution power!"

Before the Decepticons and the remains of Myotismon Army could do anything, MegaMyotismon Overlord struck his Nightmare Fangs on them, paralyzing them. He then launched his Wings of Death, flying and landing on them. The Dark Energon Bats began feasting and draining their DigiEnergon and data stream, pumping and fueling MegaMyotismon Overlord to grow bigger and stronger. And at the same time, the Decepticons have reverted from their evolved forms to their normal. Feeling their Energon dried, they all dropped to the ground unconsciously and entered stasis modes. Myotismon's Army got deleted due to their stream of data been absorbed.

"Not again!" DemiDevimon screamed in fear and pain, feeling his data got absorbed, "I've just got back into this series! Arrrrggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!"

DemiDevimon got deleted as he's been absorbed and eaten alive by MegaMyotismon Overlord. The newly vampire Cybertronian Lord has grown bigger and stronger again. He even tried to absorb more data from the Digital World, causing some parts to dissolve into nothingness. Everyone was in shock and fear of what they just saw.

"Aw man…" Rook said in shock.

Tetrax gulped, "Couldn't have said it by myself, buddy."

"This is truly not good." Bluestreak remarked in fear.

"If Megatron continued ravage this world, then he would do the same to other worlds," Izzy said in fear and concern.

Tai groaned, "We cannot let that happen! Not on our watch!"

"I'm with you!" Ben nodded firmly as he activated his Omnitrix. He turned into TransMechanoid, "We're gonna stop him!"

"Agreed. We work together as a team. Megatronmust be stopped, no matter the cost!" Optimus Prime said firmly while armed with his Ion Blaster. He ordered, "Everyone, together! Attack!"

MetalGreymon Alteros Mode and WereGarurumon Sagittarius Mode have digivolved into WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon. Everyone gave out the loud battle cries. They're all charging straight at MegaMyotismon Overlord. Before they could strike on him, the corrupted titan unleashed his Dark Souls of Terror blasts on them. They all barely dodged and evaded the attacks, though some of black and white chess-like Digimon got hit and blown to smithereens. They managed to recover and resume the attack at him.

Some Chess-like Digimon charged and attacked on his feet while others fired their weapons from distance. And at the same time, the Royal Knights charged in and attacked head on. Magnamon unleashed his Magna Blast and Magna Missile on the titan, providing covering fire for his allies. Gallantmon, Jesmon and Craniamon charged in as they swung and struck their blades on his whole body. Charging up their powers, both Dynasmon and Crusadermon charged and used their Breath of Wyvern and Fist of Athena on him, pushing him. Just as the Royal Knights regrouped and channeling their powers, MegaMyotismon Overlord used and fired his Dark Cannon at them. They barely escaped the attack, but the blast caused a powerful explosion to knock them off. Luckily, the BishopChessmon came and rescued their commanders before moving to safety.

The heroes gathered and surrounded MegaMyotismon Overlord, who looked around of his surroundings. He gave a loud battle cry as he unleashed his Dark Souls of Terror at them. They all swiftly and quickly dodged and evaded the attacks before dived in and attacked him at once. Just as Streetlight still merged with Armorhide's Armored Tank Turret. He fired Super Duo Blasts. It combined with Zudomon's Vulcan Hammer, shooting and blasting MegaMyotismon Overlord's chest. Just before he could do anything, Lillymon appeared before him as she flew around him to distract and annoy him, making him tried to slap and whack it. Leo Breaker unleashed his Lion's Roar while WiseRatchet activated his Magnetized on him for the moment. This allowed them, MegaKabuterimon and Lillymon to charge and attack him with EMP Destroyer, Earth Flails Shaker, Horn Buster and Flower Cannon on his head, weakening him.

While riding on her Garudamon's back, Lunar Musha and the humanoid bird-like Digimon unleashed and combined their Moonlight Speed Blades and Wing Blade into bluish eagle-like aura to blow him on the back. She jumped and struck her Crescent Blades on the back of his head, and then the front. He quickly grabbed and held her in his grip as he crushing her hard. Leo Breaker helped and thrown Bluestreak off to his face, where he activated his Twin Shoulder Gunners on his chest. And at the same time, Armorstrike and Rook, standing on his chest, jumped off and slammed their Twin Cybertronian Katanas and Proto-Tool Sword Mode on his eyes, injuring him. Garudamon came and rammed on his fist, freeing Lunar Musha to jump on her back before flying off. MetalGarurumon flew in as he fired Grace Cross Freezer on the enemy titan's body, freezing it up, followed by WarGreymon's Great Tornado to pierce through his left side of chest before dragging and bringing him to the ground.

MegaMyotismon Overlord recovered and got up. He roared out loud as he unleashed his Dark Energon Storm from the sky. They struck out the dark purple lightning on them. Everyone barely ran and dodged the attacks. Luckily, Royal Knights came and protected with their own body to shield the children. Tetrax summoned his Crystallized Wall to block and deflect the attacks while firing both Diamond Shards and Plumber Blasters at the enemy titan. MagnaAngemon summoned the Gate of Destiny to absorb the attack while Angewomon launched her Saint Air to the sky, cleansing the dark clouds. They both fired Gate of Destiny and Heaven's Charm at him. Goldbug armed and readied with his Bee Stinger, upgraded and fused Lightbright's Upgrade Merge as they unleashed powerful Golden Hornet Beam Burst on his back. MegaMyotismon Overlord snarled as he grabbed the Angel Digimon to throw and slam the young couples to the ground. Before he could stomp on them, TransMechanoid came in and unleashed Wind Storm to blow it off before unleashed Cyclone Burst to knock him off. WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon launched their Terra Force and Metal Wolf Claw on the enemy titan's chest.

Optimus Prime, truck mode, driving and climbing up the stairs to the castle walls where he accelerated and jumped off it. He activated and slammed his Energon Axe on MegaMyotismon Overlord's chest, unleashing thunderous strike on him. And at the same time, he fired his Ion Blaster on his face. The rest of his teammates, heroes and allies joined in and unleashed their special attacks on him. Though the attacks have weakened and damaged him, the evil titan endured it while focusing and channeling the power within before unleashed Nightmare Fang, weakening and paralyzing them. He then unleashed and struck down his Shadow Lightning and Dark Cannons, attacked and injured them to the ground. He chuckled evilly.

Everyone groaned and moaned in pain. TransMechanoid groaned, "I'm gonna feel that in the morning…"

WarGreymon groaned, "Damn it. That thing's too strong."

"No kidding. We're nowhere to hurt him," MetalGarurumon said painfully, "We need Omnimon's Power. He's the only one we can beat him."

"What?! You can access Omnimon's powers?" Gallantmon asked in disbelief yet surprise. Digidestineds and their Digimon nodded. He sighed, "Thank the Homeostasis's Light. There's still hope. Just like before…"

"But we don't even know how to access him." Matt said in concern.

Tai nodded, "Yeah. We're hoping we can use that when we were fighting Millenniumon. But it never came or we don't know how."

"I'm sure you'll find a way. Find the harmony and determination within as one," Gallantmon said firmly and calmly. He turned and faced MegaMyotismon Overlord. He continued, "We'll hold him for long!"

"We'll come too," Lunar Musha said firmly.

Armorstrike nodded, "Yeah. We'll keep him busy! Hopefully, your boyfriend gets this 'Omnimon'."

"Yeah. Let's hope for another miracle. We really need it," Sora agreed while she and Armorstrike climbed on Garudamon's shoulder. Recalled what Armorstrike has said, she flustered annoyingly, "Can you stopped assuming me and Taichi being couples?! We're just friends, jeez!"

The heroes and their allies charged and attacked MegaMyotismon Overlord, who firmly and calmly fought back with his Dark Souls of Terror, Dark Cannons and even Wings of Death. They struggled to endure and fight back. Optimus Prime, TransMechanoid, Tai, Matt and their Digimon Partners regrouped for discussion.

"So, who and what is 'Omnimon'?" Optimus Prime asked.

"Omnimon is the combine forms of our Digimon. And the strongest and most powerful Digimon we have," Tai explained, surprising the Prime and TransMechanoid. He sighed, "But problem is that we don't know how."

"No kidding." Matt hissed in frustration, "We were just lucky to get him. And now, we're done for."

"Not yet," TransMechanoid said firmly. Everyone looked at him. He held the Enigma of Combination. He smirked, "Thinks this will help?"

"Think it will work?" MetalGarurumon asked.

WarGreymon shrugged, "I don't know. This is our chance to get Omnimon."

"I've got a better idea. Why not combined all us into one?" TransMechanoid suggested, shocking his friends. He asked, "What? It works on the bad guys, why not us?"

"He does have the point," Tai agreed.

"No, it is too dangerous to use." Optimus Prime disagreed. Everyone looked at him. He explained, "Not because it strictly works on Cybertronians, but how it affects our mental and power stability. This relic required our minds to unite and cooperate as one. Because if we do not, we won't able to remain balance and stay in our Combiner Form. It could destroy us. I will not risk your live for this."

Alerted of Optimus Prime's warnings; Tai, Matt and their partners were scared and worried about the power. However, they also knew that if they don't stop the enemies, they would lose everything.

"Even so, we can't do nothing!" Matt said firmly.

Tai nodded, "Yeah. We didn't go through the battle with evil Digimon for nothing. In fact, we have survived this long. We can handle it, right, guys?"

"You bet, Taichi!" WarGreymon said confidently.

MetalGarurumon smirked, "Yeah. We've faced tougher guys than that buckethead. Hell, we even take down on the very big Millenniummon."

"That's some spirit. Nice." TransMechanoid commented with smile. He turned and looked at Optimus Prime, who was doubtful and concern. He continued, "Optimus, remember what Professor Paradox said. The kids, their Digimon Partners and the Digivolution are the key to this. Without it, I don't think we can stop that guy by ourselves."

After some consideration and recalling the event that involved of children helping him and his team, Optimus Prime sighed calmly before nodded, "You're right. We cannot do this alone. In fact, I shouldn't be doubtful and concern because of my conscience and past failures. But after what I've been through especially living on Earth, I've learned the great lesson – nothing is impossible. We will overcome this as long as we stand as united and one."

Everyone smiled proudly and confidently as they agreed with his remarks. To everyone's surprise; Optimus Prime's Matrix of Leadership glowed within, same goes to TransMechanoid's Omnitrix, Tai's and Matt's Digivices and even Enigma of Combination. The combined symbols of Autobot Logo within Omnitrix on top of Crest of Courage and Friendship appeared on their relics.

Everyone was surprised and shocked by it. They then looked at each other before nodded firmly and determinedly. They all gave out battle cry as the Enigma of Combination activated and engulfed the powerful golden light on them. It also formed and mixed together with orange, blue, light cyan and greenish colors. They're now digivolving, fusing and transforming into a new powerful being.

"WARGREYMON! METALGARURUMON! OPTIMUS PRIME! TRANSMECHANOID! DIGIFUSED TO… OPTIMALOMNIMON!'

(Brave Heart – Ayumi Miyazaki)

With the evolution and transformation complete, the golden bright egg-like aura slowly dissolved and revealed a mysterious titan being covered by a cape. Just as he moved the cape aside, it revealed himself – OptimalOmnimon. He has a crimson-colored muscular with navy shoulder pads that have Autobot Insignia with Brave Shield on left and purple spikes on right, and also a long white cape. He has green-colored armored legs with black stripes, spiked white knee pads and two white feet with golden toes. His left hand has WarGreymon's Head while right one has MetalGarurumon's. his head has Optimus Prime's head-like with blue large horn and twin golden horns on forehead. Tai and Matt are inside chest plate, witnessing and watching the battlefield. He has the Omnitrix that glowed in blue color with Autobot Symbol on top of combined form of Crest of Courage and Friendship, which located on his chest.

OptimalOmnimon is now facing off MegaMyotismon Overlord, who has defeated and knocked everyone to the ground, also turned his attention on him. Everyone, regaining their conscience, were completely amazed, surprised and astounded of what they were looking at.

"Omnimon!" Sora exclaimed happily, "Taichi and Yamato did it!"

"But he looks different than I remember," Joe commented in surprise, "I thought he was white."

Gallantmon grunted in pain while nodded, "Yes. I recalled he wasn't in this form from the Ancient Celestial War."

"Optimus did it…" WiseRatchet said telepathically and warmly, "He, this 'Omnimon' and TransMechanoid to managed to digivolve and combine into a new powerful form. This is incredible."

"Yeah. Optimus always makes the impossible possible," Arcee commented, "He's the best Prime we ever had."

"Same goes to my friends," Sora remarked warmly. Garudamon nodded in agreement. She sighed, "Taichi is courageous and never gives up. That's my boy and a friend."

Armorstrike smiled happily and warmly, "Yeah. That's my boyfriend. Way to go, Ben!"

"Prodigious." Izzy remarked with pride, "They have the chance to stop him now!"

Tai and Matt were inside OptimalOmnimon's chest plates. They were amazed and surprised of what has been happening.

"Wow… Never thought we'd be inside the giant robot," Tai commented in surprise.

Matt nodded, "Yeah. Normally, we would be standing on top of Omnimon's shoulder, so we can face them. But here's better too. You ready, buddy?"

Tai smirked, "Definitely, we are. Guys?"

"Count on it, Tai!" WarGreymon's voice said confidently.

MetalGarurumon's voice chuckled, "Yeah. Let's show them what we're made of! That wannabe evil Digimon Lord won't know what hit him!"

"Why did I end up as legs?" TransMechanoid's voice grumbled, "This is so not cool. I will wanna be a chest or a hand, at least."

"Calm down, Ben. Remember that we're a team and a Combiner as well," Optimus Prime's voice said calmly and firmly, "We're now fighting against a great threat to the multiverse. They must be stopped."

"Right!" Everyone agreed.

Both OptimalOmnimon and MegaMyotismon Overlord were firmly facing and glaring at each other. The dark fused Digimon-Cybertronian Lord snapped his fingers as he summoned his Dark Ouryuken Sword while his airfoil lifted up and spread out his Dark Demonic Wings. His eyes glowed darkly in purple colored. OptimalOmnimon has summoned his Prime Grey Sword out from WarGreymon's Head.

"So, you and your new friends have fused and digivolved into new form together. How amusing," MegaMyotismon Overlord remarked amusingly and calmly, "Never though you could be so desperate for this."

"This is not desperate, Megatron. It is our will and determination for one purpose – to stop you from destroying the multiverse We will defeat you," OptimalOmnimon said firmly and sternly with four voices, "One Shall Stand!"

"And One Shall Fall!" MegaMyotismon Overlord mocked amusingly.

OptimalOmnimon and MegaMyotismon Overlord gave a loud battle cry as they charged straight at each other. They firstly crossed and clashed their blades for the moment before departed from it. They fiercely and determinedly swinging and slamming their swords at each other for couple of rounds. When they both clashed for the moment, the dark fused Digimon-Cybertronian Lord kicked him off before firing his Dark Cannon at his nemesis. The fused Digimon-Cybertronian Warrior barely dodge and evade the blasts, and even blocked and deflected them off. Suddenly, MegaMyotismon Overlord charged and rammed him off. He then summoned and struck his Shadow Lightning at OptimalOmnimon, who grunted in pain, feeling the attacks on his hand and chest for few times until the very last moment, he quickly cut it off. He charged in and unleashed his Storm Clash, which gave him couple of slashes and cuts on him before using Wind Storm to blow him off.

MegaMyotismon Overlord managed to recover as he summoned his Wing of Death and firing his Dark Souls of Terror. This prompted OptimalOmnimon to activate Wing-Garuru Cannon from MetalGarurumon's head, firing and exploding the attacks. To his surprise, the dark fused Digimon-Cybertronian Lord jumped through the smoke as he slammed his punch on his face before hitting on chest ten times before unleashed and struck his Shadow Lightning to throw him off. He then fired his Dark Souls of Terror but his nemesis counteracted it with his Omni Blasts. Just before MegaMyotismon Overlord could attack, OptimalOmnimon summoned and fired his Cyclone Burst, attacking and damaging his whole body. The Digimon-Cybertronian Warrior charged and readied to fire his Omni Supreme Cannon but got struck and paralyzed by Nightmare Fang for the moment. The dark Digimon-Cybertronian Lord summoned and fired his Wing of Death on him, weakening and draining his powers. Almost feel weakened, he quickly summoned and unleashed his Wind Storm to blow him away before firing his Omni Supreme Cannon, blowing and injuring him for the moment.

Just as two Mega Level Digimon-Cybertronian Warrior just recovered, MegaMyotismon Overlord summoned fired his Dark Energon Storm, striking and weakening OptimalOmnimon. He then fired his Dark Cannons at him. He got shot and blasted five times before barely dodged it. He then fired his Omni Blasts at him back three times. Both of them firmly yet slowly and painfully stand up before charged and crossed their blades again for couple of rounds. When they both clashed their blades for the moment, the dark fused Digimon-Cybertronian Lord activated and struck his Dark Blade on his nemesis's guts before firing his Dark Cannon to blow him off. He grabbed and slammed him to the ground before stomped him for couple of times. Just before he could thrust his Dark Blade on him, the Digimon-Cybertronian Warrior fired his Omni Blast to blow him off. He managed to get up as he used his Storm Clash on him before activated and launched his Transcendent Prime Sword to blow and knock him off. Both of them armed and fired their Omni Blast and Dark Cannon, which knock them both off. Instead of faltered, OptimalOmnimon charged straight at MegaMyotismon Overlord, who recovered and unleashed his Wing of Death on him. The warrior summoned and thrust his Cyclone Burst to break through before using his Prime Grey Sword to knock the Dark Lord straight to the sky, where he got shot and blasted. He jumped and slammed him to the ground. Just he landed, he got shot and blasted off by his nemesis's Hyper Dark Fusion. MegaMyotismon Overlord charged and was about to thrust his sword at him. But instead, it got blocked and deflected before he kicked him off. Both of them continued swinging and crossing their blades at each other.

Everyone awed in amazement and shock of the fighting. They even commented how great and serious the duel is. Both OptimalOmnimon and MegaMyotismon Overlord continued swinging and slamming their blades, and even firing their blasters at each other for couple of times, despite the injuries they have suffered. They then clashed against each other for the moment. The dark fused Digimon-Cybertronian Lord fired his Dark Cannon on side before swinging his Dark Ouryuken Sword to knock him off before thrusting his blade on the chest, injuring him. OptimalOmnimon groaned in pain before falling to his knees.

"Our rivalry has come to an end. Farewell, old friend," MegaMyotismon Overlord mocked amusingly. Just before he could fire his Dark Cannon, he yelped as if he felt pain in his body. He groaned, "W-What is this?! What's going on?!"

MegaMyotismon Overlord yelled in pain as he held on his head while glowing in black-purple colors and dim white light conflicting and clashing with each other. He even argued and shouted at himself especially revealing the spiritual forms of Megatron, Myotismon and the weakened Alphamon. They were trying to take over the control of the fused body. This shocked everyone to see it.

"H-Help me… Help me…" Alphamon's voice spoke weakly yet painfully.

"Brother?!" Gallantmon asked in shock and surprise, "Alphamon, is that you?!"

"Yikes! Creepy!" Zudomon commented in fear.

Joe yelped while hiding behind Zudomon's horn, "Why does it have to be the ghost?! I really hate ghosts!"

Rook gulped, "I'd never thought we would face the Ectonurites that soon."

"Those aren't ghosts! There are the conscious minds of Megatron and two Digimons," Armorhide said firmly. He grunted in pain, "And looks like they're having trouble of working together as a team."

"Wow? Really?" Sora asked in surprise, "Guess it's every man for himself."

"So, what's the malfunction with them?" Armrostrike asked.

"Unlike OptimalOmnimon, MegaMyotismon Overlord is a forced and corrupted fusion form. And now he's struggling to hold his form together due to two evil lords and one strong noble warrior are unable to coexist and work as one," WiseRatchet explained firmly and calmly in telepathic tone. He hummed, "In fact, this is our opportunity! We might have the advantage to exploit his weakness and destroy our enemies for good."

Leo Breaker smiled, "We can end this war!"

"Then, what are we waiting for? Let's end this for good!" Lunar Musha said firmly.

"No! You mustn't!" Gallantmon pleaded firmly, everyone looked at him. He continued, "Please! Alphamon is one of us! You cannot destroy him! Please, you must find a way to save him!"

"You can't be serious!" Armorhide said in shock.

"With all due respect, Armorhide, if it was one of your friends or kind, you'd do anything to save him," Tetrax said sternly and firmly, "I knew I would. I'm not leaving mine behind during my years since that day."

After consideration of Tetrax's speech, the heroes couldn't help but agreed with him that they won't destroy him but find a way to save him. Alphamon is part of Royal Knight meaning their allies as well.

"Thank you, everyone," Gallantmon thanked in relief.

Inside the fusion form, everyone heard everything and wondering of what they can do to help and save Alphamon from destroying him with MegaMyotismon Overlord.

"But how are we going to save Alphamon from that thing?" Matt asked firmly.

Tai hissed, "Don't supposed you guys have a way to reverse the fusion effect? I've got bad feeling that fusion digivolution might be stuck in him."

"I don't know how to do that," WarGreymon's voice said in concern.

MetalGarurumon's voice groaned, "Me neither. We just turned back naturally."

"Not sure if my Omnitrix can reverse the fusion effect," TransMechanoid admitted in concern, "In fact, it might not be enough to do that. It needs more power and energy to heal and separate them from fusion power."

"There is one way to do so. Do you trust me, everyone?" Optimus Prime's voice said firmly and calmly. Everyone inside the fusion form was confusion by his question. But nevertheless, they nodded and answered firmly they do. He continued, "Listen well, this requires our concentration and focus to defeat our enemies while saving and restoring Alphamon."

As Optimus Prime explained about what they have to do, everyone was shocked and surprised by his instruction. However, they know the risk and willing to take it.

OptimalOmnimon deactivated his weapons while opening up his chest plate in two, revealing the Matrix of Leadership. And at the same time, the Omnitrix device slowly lifted up to the same position as the relic. He glowed brightly in mixed colors of red-blue, green, orange and navy before formed into pure white light. His whole body was surging with blue electrical shocks and spiritual prowess within. This surprised everyone especially Team Prime.

"Now… Light our Darkest Hour!" OptimalOmnimon declared firmly, causing his whole body and devices to glow brightly. He exclaimed, "Matrix of Digital Light! Unleash!"

As commanded, OptimalOmnimon unleashed powerful beam of Matrix of Digital Light upon MegaMyotismon Overlord's chest, causing him to get shocked and electrocuted with pure energy surging across his body. He screamed in pain and agony from a powerful attack.

Within his mind, two conscious of evil managed overwhelm and consumed the conscious of warrior while regaining control over the dark fused warrior. MegaMyotismon Overlord growled as he concentrated and channeled the dark energy within his chest plate while eyes and claws glowed darkly and evilly. He then summoned and fired his Dark Chaos Destroyer, blasting and clashing the light energy back. Shocked and feared, OptimalOmnimon remained firm and strong to fire the attack back. The pure energy power from both sides continued clashing and pushing against each other for the moment. At that very moment, the dark fused Digimon-Cybertronian Lord roared out loud as he continued pouring on his Dark Chaos Destroyer with pure rage and hatred, pushing back the Matrix of Digital Light. It's about to hit OptimalOmnimon.

"That can't be good," Streetlight commented in concern.

"Onichan! Nooooooo!" Kari screamed in fear and concern. She tried to run but blocked and held by Sora. She groaned, "We have to help him! I don't wanna lose him again!"

"My big brother too!" TK agreed firmly.

"But how are we gonna help them?" Leo Breaker asked in frustration, "We're nowhere near to OptimalOmnimon's or buckethead's levels!"

Lunar Musha nodded firmly, "He's right. What can we do to support them?"

After looking at Izzy's Digivive, Raf recalled the early events involving his and others. He spoke thoughtfully, "That might be a way. I mean if you guys think about it. The only reason why your Digimon digivolved to the highest level because of-!"

"Our Digivices!" Izzy exclaimed in realization while looking at his Digivice, "You're right, Raf! They're the very reason why Autobots digivolved to their next levels! We can do the same thing for OptimalOmnimon too!"

"Ingenious!" WiseRatchet agreed firmly in telepathic tone, "However, I fear it might not be enough to help them."

"Maybe… Maybe not…" Goldbug said firmly while looking at his own body. He explained, "We can give our powers to him too. We shared the same energy as the Digivices!"

"But you would be giving up your power!" Bluestreak said in concern, "They're the reason for reaching this far."

Goldbug sighed, "Nothing's important than saving friends. Besides, we've been fighting and reaching this far without the digivolution since War for Cybertron. We got here coz we've got friends, loves and family."

"Bumblebee's right. I will stand by his side," Lightbright supported with pride.

"So shall we!" Angewomon said firmly.

Everyone and even Ultimate Level Digimon have agreed about giving up their own power to help OptimalOmnimon to fight off and defeat MegaMyotismon Overlord.

"Then, let's make it count, guys!" Armorstrike said firmly and determinedly. She looked at OptimalOmnimon groaned in pain as he's unable to keep up with his power. She hissed, "They can't hold up any longer!"

"What are we waiting for?! Let's do this!" Rook said firmly, "Time's running out!"

"We shall join as well," Gallantmon said firmly as he and his team joined in.

"If our theories are right, we need to concentrate and channel all the energies within your and your partners while aiming at OptimalOmnimon!" Raf said firmly, "We only get one shot."

Sora nodded firmly and understandingly, "Everyone, make it count!"

Digidestineds readied their Digivices, which are channeling and focusing the energy within. And at the same time, both Ultimate-Level Digimon and Autobot Evolved Forms did the same thing as well. Almost fully charged within them, they all glowed brightly in their respective colors. Team Ben also felt powerful energies have been focused and channeled within their bodies as they glowed as well. Royal Knights also joined in as well. With their power completely channeled and energized, they then aimed and fired their power straight to OptimalOmnimon. MagnaAngemon and Angewomon did the same thing but they're giving up so much powerful energy too. After giving out so much power, both Ultimate Level Digimon and Autobots Evolved Form have reverted back to their normal forms while their friends dropped on the floor while panted in exhaustion and tiresome.

When the fused titan received so much power, he's now glowing brightly in various colors. He quickly maximized the power on Matrix of Digital Light beam, firing straight back at MegaMyotismon Overlord's chest. He yelped in pain upon feeling the powerful attack as the chest formed some cracks and then spread across his body while leaking out some uncontrollable energy. Screaming in pain, he exploded into pieces while launched three beings out and dropped on the ground hard. Megatron, Myotismon and Alphamon were on the ground. They're all badly injured and damaged from the fight their enemies and within. And at the same time, Digital World's damaged yet missing parts have been restored.

Everyone was in shock and surprise of what they saw. They all cheered out loud and wild as they won the fight. And at the same time, OptimalOmnimon have reverted back to their normal selves. The Enigma of Combination dropped to the ground. Optimus Prime, Ben, Tai, Matt, Agumon and Gabumon dropped and almost fall to their knees on the ground. Their allies came and helped them to stand up. Armorstrike kissed her boyfriend's lips. Kari hugged Tai while Sora kissed him by cheek, making him blushed and flustered. Arcee smiled warmly to Optimus Prime, who nodded and smiled back at her. She dashed and hugged him while crying in tears. He hugged her back warmly. Just as Bluestreak was about to grab the ancient relic, the Enigma of Combination formed the cracks before exploded.

"Is that supposed to happen?" Tetrax asked in concern.

"No…" Bluestreak disagreed while touching the destroyed relic, "I guess that relic has gave the last energy source to fused Cybertronians and Digimon into the Combiners. But then again, Megatron and Myotismon did damage it first."

"No! No! No! No! Noooooooo!" Megatron roared in anger, "T-This cannot be happening! How can I be beaten on this very battle?!"

"It's over, Megatron," Optimus Prime said firmly.

Just before anyone could do anything, a large portal appeared behind of Megatron and the remaining of his Decepticon Warriors. Large numbers of Vehicon Troopers quickly moved to the frontline, where they unleashed the barrage of their rifles on the enemies. Luckily, the remains of Chess-like Digimon appeared and formed the barrier to block and deflect the attacks. And at the same time; Doubledealer, Combaticons, Switchblade and Deathsaurus quickly helped move and guide their lord and remaining allies back into the portal. The rest of Vehicon Troopers made their escape before the portal disappeared at once.

With the enemy have withdrawn, the heroes and their allies were in deep shock and disbelief that they have failed to stop and defeat the Decepticons. Despite their failures, they survived and won the battle. The multiverse is safe. For now…

(Mainstream Prime Universe)

Megatron and his defeated generals have managed to return to not only their own dimensions, but also Nemesis. All of them are being treated and healed by Decepticon Medic, with Knockout strictly and sternly instruct them. They're also bumped and fueled with new fresh Energon.

Megatron was lying down on his throne chair in his quarter as he was still furious and angry with his defeat and losses to the enemies. Doubledealer, Switchblade and Onslaught arrived and entered his quarter. They all bowed to the ground before him.

"What is it?" Megatron asked angrily yet calmly.

"Forgive the intrusion, Lord Megatron," Doubledealer said humbly, "We've already developed and set the Dimension Bridge program to the Nemesis's control panel. We'll be ready with it once you're fully healed."

"No!" Megatron shouted angrily, shocking his Decepticons. He groaned in pain, "Cancel that project now. Forget the dimensions!"

"Lord Megatron? Why?" Onslaught asked in confusion, "I thought you want to seek out and combine with your counterparts including the latest one possessed this 'Dark Geass of Absolute Terror'. It would be great advantage of dealing with the Autobots and conquered this world."

"After what I've been through from that abomination world?! No. Never again," Megatron said angrily yet painfully. He sighed firmly and calmly, "Besides, Prime and his team will interfere our plans again especially seeking and recruiting his dimension counterparts to stop me. This project is a failure as long as Prime stands in my way. For now, we recuperate until our bodies are healed. Delete that project now. I will not have my enemy and my own warriors used it for their benefits."

Onslaught nodded, "Understood. But what about the other one?"

"Prime will destroy it," Megatron said dryly. He turned to Switchblade, "Switchblade. Since Blackout has died with honor, you shall take his place as the new General and Leader of Decepticon Heavy Brigade. Lead them well."

Switchblade bowed firmly, "Yes, my lord…"

(Digital World 2020)

Aftermath of their fierce battle against MegaMyotismon Overlord, the heroes and their allies are resting and recovering from the serious event. Gallantmon and his remaining Royal Knights were checking and treating Alphamon. Everyone was waiting and hoping that the black Digimon Knight-like recover. And at the same time, Rook and Bluestreak were guarding and keeping their eyes on Myotismon, who was badly injured and on the verge of deletion.

Crusadermon used her Healing Powers on Alphamon's injuries, unfortunately, it's not healing and the wound are not recovering. She was in shock and disbelief of the result. She turned and looked at Gallantmon, who was hoping for the result. She shook her head.

"I see…" Gallantmon said sadly. He sighed in shame, "Damn it!"

Everyone was in shock and disbelief. Optimus Prime apologized, "I'm sorry…"

"No. This is not your fault. You all did your best," Gallantmon bowed humbly yet apologetic. He sighed, "I was a fool to think that we can heal and save him from the fate. He was dead since the end of Ancient Celestial War until those monsters desecrated his grave with evil deeds. I'm sorry for pushing you all for this."

"Gallantmon…" Tai said in shame. All of his friends looked down in shame and guilt. He sighed, "We could have done better."

"There was nothing you could have done, my friends…" Alphamon said humbly yet weakly. Everyone looked at him. He sighed, "But I thank you all for stopping me from destroying this world and others. You've saved my life. It's more than enough…"

"Ratchet, can you heal him?" Optimus Prime asked.

Ratchet shook his head, "I'm afraid not. He's already on verge of death. There's nothing we can do."

Everyone especially the Digidestineds and their partners were upset and hurt to hear that. They couldn't believe that they have failed again for not saving another Digimon's life again.

"Do not grieve. My time has come…" Alphamon said humbly yet weakly. He began to dissolve into data. He continued, "Though I've reached my end, I will return one day. Hopefully, I would reunite with my friends."

"What do you mean by that?" Tetrax asked in confusion.

Alphamon smiled warmly, "You'll see. Just remember one thing. You'd never fail. You succeeded saving this world and me. Thank you."

Before anyone could ask, Alphamon has dissolved into data while reconfiguring and turned into a DigiEgg, shocking and confusing everyone. The Royal Knights shed tears to see him off.

"W-What just happened?" Ben asked in confusion.

"It's a DigiEgg," Izzy explained. Everyone looked at him. He explained, "DigiEgg is the early stage that hatched a new life and its own Digivolution. And even though the ones have passed on, they'll reborn as a new DigiEgg. This work only in Digital World."

Tai gasped in shock and surprise, "Yeah. Guess we forgot about that."

Optimus Prime shook his head, "But still…"

"It's okay, Prime." Gallantmon said firmly and calmly while patting the Prime's shoulder pad. He continued while carrying Alphamon's DigiEgg, "Besides, as Alphamon has said, saving him from becoming a monster is more than enough. Now he can properly rest in peace and reborn a new. He will return to us, someday."

"Gallantmon…" Optimus Prime said in surprise.

Gallantmon genuflected before the Prime, "Thank you all for saving our world. We're eternally grateful to you all…"

Royal Knights genuflected before the heroes. The heroes smiled warmly while returned the bow to them as well. They all then heard grunted in pain. They turned and looked at Myotismon, who is slowly dissolving into data.

"Myotismon…" Gatomon said dryly while glaring at Myotismon. She continued firmly, "You have lost this fight. Your allies have abandoned and returned to their dimension. It's over now."

Myotismon chuckled weakly, "You thought this is over? You were wrong…"

Everyone was suspicious and concern. Ben demanded, "What do you mean by that?"

"You have not truly destroyed the true threat," Myotismon mocked amusingly with a chuckle, making everyone uneasy and worried. He continued weakly, "Soon, this world and your home will be no more. He will make sure of it."

"Who is he?" Tai demanded angrily and firmly, "Tell us, Myotismon!"

Ben nodded, "Yeah. We'll gonna kick his ass for good."

Myotismon chuckled amusingly, "Foolish children. He already has made the move. You cannot stop the Great Catastrophe…"

With the last of his breathe, he has disintegrated into data while flowing up to the sky. Though he has been dealt with, his warning has made everyone uneasy and worried.

Gatomon sighed, "Whatever it is, we will be ready. Wizardmon, you've been avenged…"

"That is not good…" Rook said in concern.

"I fear something worse has yet to come…" Gallantmon said in concern and fear, "The Great Catastrophe… I've heard something from Wisemon…"

"Whatever the case is, we must find and stop him before he could destroy this world," Optimus Prime said firmly and sternly, "I will not allow more lives to be destroyed."

"As much as I'd like to agree with you all, but I'm afraid I can't allow you to proceed," Professor Paradox's voice said firmly, shocking and alerting everyone. They all turned and looked behind. They found him standing before them. He smiled, "Hello, everyone."

"Professor Paradox?!" Everyone asked in surprise.

Gallantmon and his Royal Knights genuflected before Professor Paradox. He greeted, "My dear old friend, it's been a while."

Professor Paradox smiled warmly, "Indeed. It's so good to see you alright."

"Professor, what do you mean 'can't allow'?" Ben asked in disbelief. He then demanded, "Are you telling me to stand down?"

Professor Paradox nodded, "Yes. After all, your mission to save the multiverse is a success. You all can go home now."

"You're kidding, right?!" Bumblebee asked in disbelief and anger.

Moonracer nodded, "Myotismon said that a greater threat is gonna destroy the world! We have to help the kids to stop it."

Team Ben and Team Prime shouted firmly and angrilythat they wanted to stay here and helped them out. Digidestineds and their partners were in shock and disbelief about the new threat. Royal Knights remained silent as they also didn't know of what's going on either.

"Everyone, calm down. I understand you all want to help but this is something that you all are not allow to do. The Entity of this realm won't allow it," Professor Paradox said firmly and calmly. He sighed, "The Digidestineds and their Digimon Partners are responsible of defending and saving Digital World and Real World. It's their duty and destiny."

Everyone was in shock and disbelief. Ben snapped angrily as he grabbed and held Professor Paradox's coat up, "Is this some kind of joke, Professor?! Is it?!"

Professor Paradox shook his head, "I wish it was, Ben. I'm truly sorry."

Everyone was in shock and disbelief of it. Some of them shouted angrily and frustratingly, and even throw their tantrum. Others were shocked and disbelieved of it. A few kept silent.

Letting go of Professor Paradox's coat, Ben screamed angrily while slamming his fist against the wall, "Bullshit!"

"Professor Paradox, isn't there anything we can do to help them?" Armorstrike asked in concern. Professor Paradox shook his head. She asked, "Then, why did it allow us to join forces with Digidestineds to stop the Cons?!"

"That's what I would like to know," Arcee agreed firmly.

"As I've said before, Megatron is a threat to multiverse for him gaining more power across the dimensions and universes. So, the entity allowed you all to help them to stop and bring him back to dimension. And all you did," Professor Paradox explained calmly and firmly. Everyone was dissatisfied. He continued, "Believe me. I truly wish that I could let you all go to help them save the world. But it is not your place to do so."

Rook sighed in frustration, "But we're the law enforcers. Protectors! Defenders! Heroes! Isn't our place to help and assist our allies against the threat and saving lives?!"

"It is," Professor Paradox said firmly and calmly, "But your place is in your dimensions, not here. I'm sorry."

Everyone was frustrated and annoyed about this. Optimus Prime knew this very well as he has the same problem since he became the Prime.

"Fate rarely call upon us at the moment of choosing." Optimus Prime said firmly. They all looked at him in confusion. He continued, "No matter how much you do not want to involve of this, you cannot escape the fate and destiny until it is fulfilled or the worst may come. I know this well. I've been through it…"

Professor Paradox sighed, "Then, you understand it well. Regardless of children's age, they're much stronger and powerful than you thought. Because of their bonds and relationships to not only each other but also the Digimon Partners. That's what made them this far. You saw it, right?"

Recalling the event, Optimus Prime nodded, "Yes, I did."

"So, that's it? You're just gonna let the kids do it by themselves?!" Ben asked angrily, "I'm sorry! But I am not gonna leave it like this! Forget it! I'm staying here to help them. This entity can come and screw me up if they want! They can try!"

"Ben!" Armorstrike scolded Ben.

"Ben, have you forgotten that you were a child when you start the hero?" Professor Paradox questioned Ben, shocking him. He continued, "Even though you knew the truth and risk, you still continue to play your part to save lives and stop the bad guys. Not to mention, you stopped when you were 12 and want nothing part of it until Highbreed Invasion came. That was the moment that you have to return and play your part again."

Ben was shocked and disbelief as he tried to speak, "B-But that's different!"

"It is not! You and the Digidestineds are the same!" Professor Paradox snapped firmly, shocking Ben. He continued, "Benjamin, I have seen some versions of Digidestineds face and overcome the obstacles, defeat enemies and saving both worlds when they were just merely children."

Ben asked in disbelief, "S-Seriously?!"

Professor Paradox nodded, "I am. And it's the truth."

Still doubtful and disbelief about the similarity, Ben knew that Professor Paradox was right as well. He and the Digidestineds weren't so different from each other because they were fated to save the world and stop the bad guys. However, he doesn't like the idea of putting the children with no skills and powers to handle heavy responsibility.

"Ben, don't worry about us. We've got this," Tai said firmly. Ben looked at him. He smirked, "Besides, we told you the story before. And you've seen our action now. We're not kids. And we're not alone to face the danger."

The Digidestineds and their Digimon Partners nodded firmly and proudly that they can handle it and finish the mission, even though they want to go home. Both Team Prime and Team Ben were surprised and amazed by their resolve and determination. As much as they wanted to help and bring them home safely, it was not their place but to pray and hope they made it home.

Ben sighed, "I guess you're right. You guys got it coz you got friends and partners with you."

Tai nodded, "You bet."

To everyone's surprise, another large portal appeared behind everyone. They all were confused yet concern about it. Just before they could prepare to fight and face off the possible enemy, Professor Paradox held his hand out, gesturing them all not to go hasty.

"Not to worry, your friends have successfully rebuild the Dimension Bridge, thanks to Perceptor and Thundercracker. You all can finally go home now," Professor Paradox said calmly, surprising Team Prime and Team Ben. He continued, "It's time to say goodbye, everyone."

Team Ben and Team Prime turned and faced to Digidestineds and the Digimon Partners, wishing them good luck and goodbye.

"Guess this is it, Joe," Jazz said sadly. Joe and Gomamon looked in upset. Using his hand to lift them up, he looked at their eyes. He smiled, "Don't worry, partners. You've got this. Just remember what I've told you. Be reliable to the team."

Rook nodded, "After all, you're the leader of this team. They're counting on you. Don't let them down."

Still worried and nervous, Joe remained firm and calm, "Yeah. I've got this."

"And I'll be there for Joe!" Gomamon cheered.

Bluestreak smiled, "Good. Stick close to him till the end. That's what partners are for."

Mimi and Palmon remained silent while looking down, unable to face him. Bulkhead felt the same as well. None of them wanted to say goodbye. Nevertheless, they both rushed to him, who let his finger for them to hug.

Mimi cried tearfully, "I'm going to miss you, Bulkhead!"

"Me too!" Palmon agreed sadly, "I don't want to say goodbye."

"Yeah, so do I," Bulkhead admitted with a sad smile. He looked at the flower on his ear. He sighed, "Mimi, Palmon, you guys will always be my friends, just like Miko. I hoped that we can meet again."

Palmo nodded sadly, "Me too, Bulkhead. Me too. I really want to meet your friend."

"We'll miss you, No. 101," Mimi said sadly. She shook her head, "Not servant. A friend."

Bulkhead nodded sadly with smile, "Me too, Mimi."

"Finally, going back home. Well, Earth mostly…" Ratchet grumbled. He turned and looked at Izzy and Tentomon, "But this place ain't so bad especially when I became WiseRatchet. It does calm my mind down."

Tentomon chuckled, "Yeah. I owe the new power, thanks to you. Thanks."

"You're welcome," Ratchet smiled. He turned and looked at timid Izzy, "Izzy, just remember what we've discussed."

"Have faith in yourself and friends…" Izzy answered, making Ratchet smiled. He turned and looked at Raf, "There's so much I could learn from you, Raf. I wish I could be like you. You're the smartest guy in your universe."

"W-What! No way! I wish I could learn from you about this world. You're the best!" Raf remarked, making him and Izzy laughed a bit. He sighed, "But seriously, Izzy, you're still the smartest guy. Your team is proud to have you on their side."

Izzy nodded, "Vice versa to you, Raf."

"Moonracer…" Kari called. Moonracer turned and kneeled down before her. She held her friend's hand while smiled at her, "I wish you luck to save and bring your sister home."

"Thanks, Kari. I wish you luck too. Be good to your brother," Moonracer said warmly.

Kari nodded, "I will. I won't let anything bad happen to him."

Gatomon smiled, "No worries. I've got this. I'll make two of them are close."

Bumblebee looked at the portal. He sighed, "Once I get through the portal, I'll never hear this voice again. I'm gonna miss it…"

"Don't worry, you'll get it back," TK said confidently. Bumblebee looked at him. He smiled, "Don't give up your hope, Bumblebee."

Patamon nodded, "Yeah. I know that someday, you'll get your voice back. Because when you do, I can finally see your real smile. Raf and Moonracer would love that."

Bumblebee couldn't help but smiled beneath his mask, "I haven't lost my hope. But thanks, guys."

"Kid. I want to thank you," Arcee said calmly, surprising Sora and Biyomon. She smiled, "Thanks for reminding me of what's important. If you hadn't, then I wouldn't keep my promise to my partners. Thank you so much, Sora."

"R-Really?" Sora asked in surprise with blush.

Biyomon smiled, "Yup! You should be proud of yourself, Sora! You're amazing!"

Arcee nodded, "She's right. You remind me of Jack. You and him are so much alike for wanting to help friends and family you care about."

Sora giggled a bit. Armorstrike smiled while patted on her back, "Hopefully, you can confess your feeling to Taichi. He would have the same feelings too."

Blushed completely in red, Sora flustered in annoyance and frustration, "Aw come on! Quit messing with me! Taichi and I are just friends. Okay?! Would you just give it a rest?!"

Armrostrike giggled, "If you say so. But I'm certain of this well. Like Arcee and OP."

Arcee groaned, "Don't push it, kid."

"Guess this is it, old timer?" Matt asked.

Ironhide nodded, "Yeah, it sure is. You still owe me a rematch, kid."

"Yeah, I know. The next time we see each other, I'm gonna be the winner."

"Ah…Cocky, aren't you? Better be careful."

"You wish, old timer."

"By the way, why did you nickname yourself 'Matt'? I understand others for shortening their names for us to understand, so why yours different?"

"I named after 'Matt Damon'. That guy got some serious badass skill. He worked with my dad couple of times for the action film."

"Hmm… That's something. Think you can keep up?"

"No worries. I'll prove it."

Gabumon groaned, "Why does he keep doing that? He's gonna cause the problem."

Tetrax chuckled a bit, "Well, it's in progress, Gabumon. At least, they're friendly rivals now."

"Hey kid, think you can really handle this?" Ben asked Tai and Agumon. He continued, "Saving the world is a huge responsible. No joke. Trust me on this one."

Tai sighed, "None of us asked for it. But we have to do it for all of our homes. I don't want anything bad happen to it and our families."

"You betcha." Agumon agreed, "I'll stand by his side. After all, I'm the strongest and toughest Digimon in this world."

Ben smirked with half-confident yet half-worried tone, "Yeah. I know it because we merged together once."

Though still having doubts and concerns, Optimus Prime knew and witnessed the Digidestineds and their Digimon Partners' capacities, strengths and determination especially the bonding to each other is very strong.

"Tai, while I have my doubts and concerns for this destiny you're facing with, but in my spark, I'm impressed of your resolve, determination and especially your deep bond with the Digimon. You all have reminded me of human friends of mine especially one particular." Optimus Prime admitted firmly yet calmly and sincerely. Tai was surprised by his comment. He continued, "I can only wish you and your friends' luck for this journey and overcome the greater threat. I can also give you the advice – keep fighting, the noblest of fight."

Tai nodded, "Okay. We've got this."

"Never give up. That's the important thing," Ben commented, making Tai nodded.

Optimus Prime turned and looked at Gallantmon, "Do you intend to watch over them?"

"I wish we could but the Digital World has suffered heavy casualties by Millenniumon and MegaMyotismon Overlord. So, we must help and assist the Digimon to repair their homes for the moment and also set up the defenses as well, should the enemy returns," Gallantmon explained firmly. He continued while looking at the Digidestineds and their partners, "But I have faith in them. They will save our world. May the light of Homeostasis and King Drasil's blessings watch over them."

Optimus Prime sighed, "Indeed. May the Primus watch over them as well."

(Butterfly – Koji Wada)

After saying their goodbyes to their newfound friends, Team Prime and Team Ben are marching straight to Dimension Bridge portal, returning back to Mainstream Prime Universe now. Both Ben and Optimus Prime are the last one to enter. They turned and gave the last glance at their allies. Both Digidestineds and their Digimon Partners waved goodbyes to them. The Royal Knights firmly saluted to them. They nodded firmly before marching into the portal now, Professor Paradox stood before them. He looked at Optimus Prime.

"You did it, didn't you?" Professor Paradox asked sternly. Optimus Prime remained silent while still firm and serious. He sighed, "I warned you of this. The next time you used that Power of the Primes, it might be your very last."

Ben was confused and worried by Professor Paradox's tone. Optimus Prime answered firmly, "Whether it's our own world, counterparts or even universes; I would do it all over again, making certain that they have home to live and fight for."

Professor Paradox was surprised yet amazed and expected it. He sighed, "No arguing with you, I supposed. But I suggest make a necessary preparation."

"Understood…" Optimus Prime said firmly.

Professor Paradox turned to Ben, "Ben, I need to warn you the possible future warning involving Julie and Quintessa."

"She gonna turn her on us?" Ben asked in concern and fear.

Professor Paradox looked grimly, "Worst yet. All I can say is if you truly love her, make certain that she be reminded of her humanity and love she has. She must accept her heritage of humanity and Cybertronian. It's what made her special."

"Yes, I'll protect and love her. Count on it…" Ben said firmly.

"I know," Professor Paradox said understandingly.

And so; Ben, Optimus Prime and Professor Paradox marched into the Dimension Bridge portal before it disappeared. Team Prime and Team Ben have returned to their dimension now. Suddenly, Izzy's laptop made some beeping noise, which annoyed Digidestineds when they just say their goodbyes to their friends. But they also knew that they also must deal with threat as well. Their war is not over.

(Mainstream Prime Universe)

After repairing the Dimension Bridge's control panel, Perceptor and Thundercracker searched and located their missing allies through the multiverse for hours until they come across to 'Digital World 2020'. They activated and summoned the Dimension Bridge Portal to bring Team Prime and Team Ben back. Grandpa Max, Jack and Miko continued hoping that they make it back.

Team Prime and Team Ben emerged out from the portal. Everyone cheered out wildly and happily for their returns. Jack and Miko dashed in while hugging Raf as well as commenting for him being saved from danger. Team Prime and Team Ben chattered happily and warmly that they have returned home safely and the crazy adventure they have been through from the other world.

Grandpa Max patted on Ben's shoulder while commented 'welcome home', making him smiled. But at the same time, he looked at Julie, who was nuzzling and hugging Ship that they've made it back home. He prayed that he can helped her to remember and accept of who she really is and what's important especially accepting her humanity and Cybertronian as one. She looked at him in confusion. He quickly smiled warmly at her before hugging and kissing her by lips. This confused yet made her forget of his concerns as she kissed back.

Optimus Prime was happy to see everyone's back home and happy, though he's also concern of his condition. Felt the pain on his chest, he can sense his Matrix of Leadership being weakened and losing Power of the Prime energy. He feared that Professor Paradox could be right. He should make necessary preparation. Arcee noticed his serious and concern looks. She approached and check on him if he's alright. Just as she held his hand, she looked worried at him. He quickly formed his fake warm smile that he's alright. Despite her concerns, she hoped that he was alright and not keeping the problems to himself.

For the moment now, Team Ben and Team Prime deserve some rest and relaxation now if they ever faced their enemies again. Hopefully, everything will be well…

Author's Notes:

And there you have it. As I've had said before, I really have lots of rework on this episode. Hope you enjoy this one. It's the big blast you never expect!

1) This three crossovers story was inspired by an old fanfiction involved of Transformes G1 and Digimon Tamers, based on Transformers (2007).

2) Originally, it was meant to be one episode, but after spending nearly a month of writing this story. It became the Crossover Story Special. I've been struggling with the title and couldn't figure it out for nearly a week. It was originally called 'Fusion Confusion', 'Digital Fusion' or 'When World Collide' until I decide to use 'DigiRevolution', inspired by 'Hot Wheels Battle Force 5's Total Revolution' title.

3) The dimensions that Optimus Prime saw were Easter Eggs to previous media such as G1, Unicron Trilogy, Movieverse, Animated, Cyberverse, IDW, War for Cybertron 2020 Trilogy and also Iron117Prime's Code Prime.

4) This is also the tribute to the deceased cast members such as Markie Post (June Darby), Philece Sampler (Mimi Tachikawa), Michael Lindsay (Joe Kido), Robert Axelrod (Wizardmon), Toshika Fujita (Taichi Yagami's Japanese VA) & Koji Wada (Vocal Artist for Digimon Franchise including the very first one).

5) There were many scenes and storytelling were originally part of the story but force to cut down because they're either irrelevant element or doesn't fit well to story such as:

a) Gwen and Kevin were meant to appear in this story as minor characters but I removed them because they're not important.

b) After the Decepticons escaped from the enemies; Team Ben, Team Prime and Team Digidestined actually came across to the ancient temple, where Professor Paradox revealed the secret history behind it involving the lost Cybertronian Colony colonized the Digital World, the colony was led by Nova Prime and Alpha Trion coexistence with Digimon during peaceful time, involvement of Ancient Celestial War due to disagreement and sided with the Dark and Light Digimon. But I removed them and best to leave Digimon Adventure 2020 to have its own history and lore.

c) Alpha Trion was meant to appear along side with Professor Paradox to tell the story, but the professor will be enough to tell the story.

d) Vector Prime was meant to appear as well for stopping Grandpa Max, Jack and Miko from transporting their friends back but that sounds like selfish and unreasonable for him to do that. So, I write them still fixing the Dimension Bridge while trying to find their friends.

e) Wizardmon was meant to appear in this story as a hermit, who travelled around the world while help entertaining the innocents before he was attacked by Vehicon Troopers before rescued by three heroes. He would have joined the team and also survived this event. But felt like that he has no purpose here. So, best to make him as reference and an important ally to Gatomon during Ancient Celestial War.

f) Kari and Sora were meant to be kidnapped by the Decepticons because they want to use their Digivices to unlock the Digivolution Power. But I removed it because the DigiEnergon is the reason enough for Decepticons to mine, focus and access the digivolution to their new forms.

g) Soundwave's Minicons were originally meant to have rivalry with Digimon Partners. Ravage, Laserbeak, Buzzsaw and Ratbat were supposed to digivolved into new humanoid forms with beast forms after eating the DigiEnergon. But that took too much of the story.

h) Knockout originally to have his own evolved form that is based on Devil Gundam, but he's not type of guy like to risk his own paintjob. It would be hilarious if that happens.

i) Alphamon was originally resurrected and corrupted into a Terrorcon by Megatron for him to fight and attack Team Prime. But I removed it because Megatron has ran out of Dark Energon.

j) The fallen Digimon were supposed to appear and become DigiTerrorcons for fighting and attacking the heroes. Much like Alphamon's reasons, I removed it.

k) Jazz's Evolved Form was originally called Ricochet but I removed it because there's a character existed in here and reference to RID2015. Bulkhead's Evolved Form was called Simba Shujaa but changed to Leo Breaker instead.

l) Nurse Darby was meant to appear as cameo and tribute to Markie Post for trying to reason and plead Optimus Prime and Professor Paradox to send Digidestineds home but failed. She then provided the snacks to them for lunch. I think Ben's being mad but reluctantly accept the fate is enough the reason to fill her shoe.

6) Starscream's, Skywarp's, Soundwave's and his Minicon Evolved Forms are from Robots in Disguise (2015) Versions while the rest like Armorhide, Leo Breaker, Goldbug, Lightbright, Blackarachnia and Acceleron are referenced from other existed characters.

7) As for the English and Japanese Dubbed Voice Actors, I decided to include them both because Digimon Adventure 2020 has no confirmed English Casts at this moment. And, it's kinda fun to have Japanese and English to communicate with each other.

8) This episode served the foreshadowing Optimus Prime gave the Key of Vector Sigma to Jack and lost his memories when he used Matrix of Leadrship on Unicron during 'One Shall Rise' Trilogy. I want to show the fatigue and side effects that Optimus Prime used the Matrix of Leadership since the day he received the Matrix of Leadership from Primus. Read Transformers Prime Prequels to find out.
