I do not own Digimon or any of its characters.

Somewhere in the U.S.A...

"Finish it, Zekegreymon!" Christopher Aonuma shouts.

"Trident fang!"

Zekegreymon impales his opponent with his claw. A beaten down Machinedramon falls to the ground and explodes into data.

"Huh, this is already the third Digimon appearing in the real world this month." Christopher mumbles.

Suddenly a portal opens at the spot where Machinedramon died. Christopher jumps on Zekegreymons shoulder.

"Let's go Zekegreymon, we investigate" he says.

Zekegreymon flies trough the portal. On the other side is a city but grey towers stand around everywhere. Upon entering this world Zeekgreymon suddenly turns back into MetalGreymon.

"What happened Zekegreymon?"

"I don't know, I just couldn't hold the digivolution anymore."

At this moment, Christopher sees a familiar face on the ground. Mikey Kudo along with some unknown people and digimon. They are fighting a large black figure with a sword and a cannon.

Several hours earlier...

After yesterday's battle everyone fell asleep pretty quickly. They were able to drive Chaosgallantmons attack back but even with the power of digixros they weren't able to defeat him. Today they plan to destroy as many of the grey towers as possible to stand a better chance against Chaosgallantmon. After breakfast everyone splits up around town. The large dinosaur Digimon Greymon, Geogreymon and Growlmon use their raw strength to break down the towers. Digmon and Dorulumon use their drills to break the towers foundation. Everyone else uses their attacks to destroy the towers. One after another the towers begin to fall around Town. After Matt and Weregarurumon just destroyed a few black towers a black figure descends down next to them, Chaosgallantmon.

"I see you're alone here. This should be a great opportunity to take you out. Without your little Metalgarurumon your group loses one of its best fighters, Omnimon." Chaosgallantmon says with his deep distorted voice.

Matt looks around his area and realizes that there are no grey towers there. He holds up his digivice.

"You just made a fatal mistake. You came to an area without your towers."

[Weregarurumon digivolve to... Metalgarurumon]

"Metal wolf claw!"

Metalgarurumon unleashes a cold blast of ice from his mouth but Chaosgallantmon simply blocks the attack with his shield.

"Just as I expected" Chaosgallantmon mumbles to himself. He starts laughing. "Take him."

Before Matt can realize what's going on, he gets hit on the head and passes out.

An unknown amount of time later

"Matt, Matt wake up!"

Matt wakes up and sees Tai standing above him, slapping him. Matt quickly gets up and realizes he has a huge bump on his head.

"Where's Gabumon?" Tai asks.

Matt looks around. His partner is nowhere to be found.

"I don't know, my head hurts. We were fighting Chaosgallantmon when somebody hit me on the head and I passed out..."

"You fought Chaosgallantmon alone? We weren't able to defeat him yesterday even with the combined power of MetalGreymonX3, Rapidgarurumon and ShoutmonX5G! How did you think you could defeat him with Weregarurumon alone?"

"All the grey towers in this area are gone so Weregarurumon was able to digivolve. I thought Metalgarurumon would be able to beat him but he simply blocked our attack. I don't know what happened afeer that."

Suddenly the realization hits Matt in the face.

"Oh no, Metalgarurumon could be..."

He doesn't even want to finish his sentence. The thought of Metalgarurumon being dead...

"No." Tai says "I'm sure Metalgarurumon wouldn't just let himself be defeated like that. He's out there somewhere."

Tai then starts speaking into a device on his wrist Mikey gave him.

"Guys, Metalgarurumon is missing. Did you see him somewhere?"

He quickly receives an answer from Sora and Birdramon.

"No, but we recently saw a group of Blackwargrowlmon transport something in a cage to the townhall. We think the townhall is their base of operation."

Tai helps Matt off the ground. They climb on MetalGreymons shoulders and fly up into the air.

"We head for the townhall now. Please destroy the grey towers in that area and meet us at the townhall after that, we need all the support we can get." Tai says.

"No, it's too dangerous" Takato says from somewhere in the city "Meet me at the school I have a better plan."

MetalGreymon turns around and heads for the school where Gallantmon waits for them with multiple buckets of black paint.

"Like I said I have a plan" he says "Chaosgallantmon is a black version of me. We can paint my armor black and sneak into the townhall without being recognized."

"But what if you meet the real Chaosgallantmon or get in the range of one of the grey towers" Matt objects "wouldn't it be safer to paint Growlmon black?"

"It would be" Gallantmon replies "but I've watched the townhall, they don't let normal slodiers in. Only a few of the high ranking Blackwargrowlmon generals managed to get in but they had to identify themselves first. They wouldn't question it if Chaosgallantmon in person wanted to get in."

Everyone agrees with the plan and Tai, Matt and Agumon start to paint Gallantmons armor black. After half an hour of painting, there is no difference between Gallantmon and Chaosgallantmon.

Half an hour later

Gallantmon arrived at the townhall without turning back thanks to the others who destroyed all the grey towers in the area. Tai, Matt and Agumon hide in the bushes while Gallantmon enters the townhall. Gallantmon simply walks inside without the Blackgrowlmon at the entrance suspecting anything. Once inside Gallantmon takes a look. No changes have been made to the entrance area of the townhall. He takes the stairs down the basement where he finds Metalgarurumon like expected.

"What do you want from me Chaosgallantmon?" Metalgarurumon growls rudely.

"Calm down" Gallantmon whispers "it's me, Gallantmon. I'm here to rescue you!"

At this moment, Gallantmon sees something else in the room. A body of a black Digimon in a tank, floating in some kind of liquid. "Who's that?"

"That" Metalgarurumon says "is Blackwargreymon. He was the first and only mega Digimon made out of black towers. At first he was out enemy but in the end he sacrificed himself for us. I have no Idea how they got a hold of him or what they are planning to do with him."

Gallantmon attempts to use his lance to break the lock on Metalgarurumons cage to free it but suddenly Chaosgallantmon descends down the stairs to the basement.

Upon seeing Gallantmon he strikes at him with his Lance but Gallantmon blocks it. Still, the power behind his attack sends Gallantmon flying through the wall. Chaosgallantmon follows him outside. Gallantmon and Chaosgallantmon who are equally matched have fight outside. While Gallantmon was inside the building, Mikey arrived.

[Shoutmon, Dorulomon digixros to... Shoutmon + Drill cannon]

"I don't know who to aim at. Heyy Gallantmon can you somehow identify yourself?" Shoutmon shouts.

At this moment both Gallantmons raise their hands.

"Huh so Chaosgallantmon is playing dirty." Shoutmon mumbles.

At that moment, Gallantmon gets an idea. His armor starts to glow, he grows wings and his armor changes from the black paint to a crimson red armor.

"Nice trick but I can do that aswell" Chaosgallantmon says.

His armor turns blue and he grows wings as well. Both Gallantmons fly up into the air and their fight becomes a swirl of red and blue. Shoutmon opens his digixros with Dorulumon.

"We can distinguish them now, but we can't hit Chaosgallantmon like that" he sighs "but since the towers in this area are gone, we have other ways to assist Gallantmon"

[Shoutmon digivolve to... Omnishoutmon]

Agumon, Tai and Matt come out of thr bushes aswell.

[Agumon warp digivolve to... Wargreymon]

Upon seeing Omnishoutmon and Wargreymon, Chaosgallantmon flies a few meters in the air.

"Bring them out" Chaosgallantmon commands his troops.

The Blackgrowlmon nod and roll two trolleys out of the townhall. On with Metalgarurumon in a cage and one with Blackwargreymon in the tank with the fluid. The Blackgrowlmon release the fluid from Blackwargreymons tank. It wakes up and starts slamming his fists against the glass.

"Who are you? Let me out of here!" it shouts.

The Blackgrowlmon also take a black spiral out of a the townhall. The spiral begins to rotate and attach itself to Blackwargreymons arm. He stops slamming the glass and his eyes start to glow red. The glass dissapears and Blackwargreymon steps out of the tank.

"I present to you Blackwargreymon, the first and only mega Digimon made out of black towers. But he has a defect. Too much looking for the purpose in life and disobedience. But we fixed that." Chaosgallantmon says maniacly. "And with Metalgarurumon we create the black knight."

"Black knight?" Matt asks "what do you mean?"

"You will see" Chaosgallantmon responds while taking a black device similar to Mikeys xros loader out of a space in his armor. Mikey immediately recognizes the device.

"A darkness loader!"

[Blackwargreymon, Metalgarurumon dark digixros to... Omnimon Zwart]

A black fog appears from the device engulfing both Blackwargreymon and Metalgarurumon. The fog dissapears and a large black figure appears. An Omnimon in black armor, a black cape and golden markings all over his armor. He has the black spiral on his right arm with the Blackwargreymon head.

"O-Omnimon Zwart" Matt stutters "WHAT DID YOU DO TO METALGARURUMON!?"

"It's simple" Chaosgallantmon replies "I turned your strongest weapon against you..."

"HOW DARE YOU!" Omnishoutmon shouts. "HEAVY METAL VULCAN!"

Omnimon Zwart deploys his sword from his arm and cuts trough Omnimons blast.

"Now back to you" Chaosgallantmon says and rushes into Gallantmon. Both if them engage back into their fight.

Meanwhile Omnimon deploys the Garuru cannon, the only part of his body that isn't black. He attempts to shoot at Wargreymon and Omnishoutmon but the cannon resists. However, Omnimon Zwart quickly regains control of his left arm and shoots into Omnishoutmon.

Omnishoutmon gets blasted back but he quickly regains his footing.

"He's being controlled" Wargreymon says "we need to break the spiral."

"Great tornado!"

He aims at the spiral but Omnimon angles his sword in a way that Wargreymon shreds his own armor. Wargreymon cries out in pain as his bare chest gets exposed. He falls to the ground and turns back into Agumon.

"Ugh, that's too much, I can't fight anymore" Agumon cries.

Omnishoutmon looks at Omnimon angrily. It jumps at Omnimon and they exchange multiple attacks, mainly kicks and punches from Omnishoutmon and sword attack from Omnimon. Omnimon shoots Omnishoutmon in the chest with his cannon, he gets knocked back and slides onto the ground.

"He's strong, I don't know if I can take him alone..."

Suddenly, several laser beams hit Omnimon from behind. The source of the attack shows itself soon after. It's a humanoid Digimon in a leather jacket with black wings and a large laser gun in his arm, Beelzemon.

"So you're the one who's been causing trouble here Huh? You might have taken my power to digivolve but now that most of these towers are gone I'm back at full strength."

Mikey looks at his xros loader in confusion. Beelzemon is still inside his xros loader regenerating from his wounds, just who is this mysterious Beelzemon.

The swirl of red and blue that is the battle between Gallantmon and Chaosgallantmon dissapears for a few seconds.

"Beelzemon, you're here? Didn't you evacuate with your tamers?" Gallantmon asks.

Beelzemon nods. "I did but when I heard that the towers that prevented me from digivolving were gone, I came here as soon as I could."

Chaosgallantmon uses this moment of distraction to strike Gallantmon but he quickly reacts and blocks the attack with his own sword. The swirl of a fast battle appears again. Omnishoutmon and Beelzemon now attack together but Omnimon holds back Beelzemon ranged attacks with his the garuru cannon whole he blocks Omnishoutmons attacks with the grey sword.

Just when Omnimon is distracted an unknown figure uses the moment to strike. "Giga destroyer, trident arm!"

A large mettalic Digimon fires a large beam of energy and uses the opening his own attack created to srike him in the back. The attack leaves a wound the size of a small car in his back.

"MetalGreymon old friend, how's it been?" Omnishoutmons says cheefully.

MetalGreymon doesn't reply but Omnishoutmon can see a slight smile below his metallic mask. At this moment, Christopher walks around a corner, xros loader in hand.

"I see you need some help." Hr points his xros loader at MetalGreymon.

[MetalGreymon digivolve to... Zekegreymon]

Right after that Mikey and Christopher slam their xros loaders together.

[Omnishoutmon, Zekegreymon digixros to... Shoutmon DX]

With Omnishoutmons speed and Zekegreymons power ShoutmonDX charges at Omnimon Zwart once again. He hits him with his Claw a few times before ramming into his cannon, rendering it ineffective. Next he uses the two blades of his other arm to block Omnimons sword.

"Beelzemon shoot at the spiral, it's controlling him!"

Beelzemon nods and charges up his gun. Omnimon can't do anything because ShoutmonDX holds him in place. A volley of laser beams hits the spiral on his arm and the red glow in his eyes dissapears. He looks around himself confused but then he starts speaking with a combination of Gabumon and Blackwargreymons voice.

"You turned be against my friends, for that you will suffer"

He turns around and faces the swirl of red and blue that is the fight between Gallantmon and Chaosgallantmon. He charges at them with rapid speed and hits Chaosgallantmon right in his back. Suddenly, his whole armor begins to crack. More and more cracks Form and his armor eventually bursts into pieces. What burst outs however is something far worse. A red dragon with a white chest with a symbol on it, Megidramon.

"So you have discovered my true form... Chaosgallantmon was a more practical form to lead my army but this form, my true from, is more comfortable."

Gallantmon looks at Megidramon in fear. It's the same digimon that Wargrowlmon falsely digivolved into. A wild beast that almost ended the digital world just by existing.

"I already defeated one of those before, I can do it again" Beelzemon says confidently and charges into Megidramon but Megidramon spits a large amount of fire and pushes Beelzemon back.

"What you defeated was a pathetic digivolution. I am the original, his power was nothing against mine. And you Gallantmon, you and all your other previous forms, are a disgrace to all the proud virus Digimon of the digital world. My Blackwargrowlmon and Blackgrowlmon are the true way a Guilmon should digivolve!"

"No, THAT'S NOT TRUE!" Gallantmon shouts and attacks but midway in the air he suddenly stops. He tumbles and suddenly the digivolution opens and Takato and Guilmon fall to the ground. Luckily Beelzemon manages to catch them.

"What happened?" Tai asks.

"It's the Crimson mode, me and Guilmon never used it for such a long time. It drained all of our power" Takato replies before becoming unconscious.

Now Omnimon Zwart attempts to attack Megidramon with his sword but he barely manages to scrape his skin. The damaged garuru cannon and the large wound on his back caused him to weaken. Just at this moment, everyone can feel something flying over their head with immense speed. The group looks up and sees Imperialdramon hovering above them. He changes into fighter mode and fires his positron laser. Davis jumps from Imperialdramon shoulder and says "Sorry were late."

ShoutmonDX, Beelzemon and Imperialdramon now attack together and manage to injure Megidramons left arm. However, the wound immediately heals.

Omnimon Zwart suddenly falls to the ground. He breathes heavily and supports himself with his sword.

"I am heavily injured. I want to make up for what I've done but maybe a normal digimon and a Digimon made out of black towers shouldn't combine their power. Imperialdramon, let me lend it to you instead."

At this moment Omnimon Zwart begins to glow. The light forms a black sword. Imperialdramon grabs onto it and his armor begins to change into a back, more defensive, heavier armor. What remains of Omnimon Zwart is Gabumon and a black Agumon. Matt immediately runs up to Gabumon and holds him in his arms.

"Gabumon, I thought you were gone" Matt says while shedding a tear.

Gabumon returns the hug and replies "Blackwargreymon doesn't have evil intentions *cough* it was just the spiral controlling us, but you got rid of that thing."

Tai, Davis, Mikey and Christopher stare at Imperialdramons new Form. Suddenly Jijimon appears from Mikeys xros loader.

"That's Imperialdramon Dark Knight mode. I heard rumors about him but I never thought that they would be real. Imperialdramon Dark Knight mode is said to be the rival of Imperialdramon Paladin Mode. However, he is not an evil being. According to rumors he has saved the digital world when Paladin Mode failed and the other way around."

"Then we will power up as well" Mikey says.

"But Sparrowmon isn't here" Christopher replies "we don't have the Digimon here to form X7!"

"Who said X7? Mikey answers while smiling.

[ShoutmonDX, Ballistamon, Dorulumon, Starmon, Pickmons digixros to... ShoutmonX6]

"Huh, I never noticed that we skipped over X6 until now" Christopher comments.

ShoutmonX6, who is a version of X7 without wings, and Imperialdramon Dark Knight mode now stand tall beside each other. X6 uses his oversized microphone to give Megidramon several hits. Megidramon uses his flame breath to attack back but Imperialdramon uses his heavy armor to block the attack with his body. He cuts Megidramon with his sword several times but Dark knight mode doesn't possess the same attack strength that Paladin Mode has.

"They became stronger than expected. BRING OUT THE SECRET Weapon!" Megidramon shouts at a few Blackgrowlmon that were watching the battle.

They storm inside the townhall and bring out a small cage with a device inside. Upon closer examination Tai realizes something, Calumon is inside the cage. Suddenly a realization hits him, they left Calumon unsupervised when Alphamon transported them into this world.

"MAKE ME DIGIVOLVE!" Megidramon shouts.

The Blackgrowlmon hit a button on the cage and Calumon begins to scream. A purple light shines Off Calumons forehead and hits Megidramon. However, nothing happens.

"What? Why didn't I digivolve?" Megidramon asks in panic.

"I-it appears that you have reached the final point of your digivolution master, you can't go any further..." one of the Blackgrowlmon stutters.

After hearing that, Megidramon becomes Furious and slashes his own servants into data with his Claw. He spits out fire in all directions which causes the building around them to catch fire, but a large burst of wind extinguishers the flames. Matt and Tai look up and see Birdramon and Sora. They then look behind them and see all the others arrive. Izzy, Joe, Mimi, TK, Kari, Ken, Cody, Yolei and even the new people with digimon they just met, Marcus, Henry, Rika, Kazu, Kenta. Upon seeing the large mass of people rush at him along with their partner Digimon Megidramon panics and looks around the crowd for a target. He finds one and slashes his claws. He fatally hits someone, it's Kazu. Guardromon rushes to his partners side as fast as possible. "No, Kazu don't die here!"Joe rushes over to them as well. "Don't worry I'm a doctor!" he says but afterwards he adds "well I'm still currently studying to be one but that's better than everyone else around here."

He looks at Kentas body, Megidramon hit him in the chest fatally and he is bleeding heavily. Joe panics at the extent of Kazus wounds and passes out due to the amount of blood. Guardromon leans over his partner and does what should be impossible for a machine Digimon, he sheds a tear.

"Kazu, you were there when I was injured while fighting Orochimon and you helped me recover. Let me do the same to you."

At this moment Calumons forehead begins to glow again, this time in its normal color. The beam hits Guardromon and Kazu suddenly begins to glow as well.

[Guardromon biomerge to... HiAndromon]

"They biomerged!" Henry comments in surprise.

What now stands in front of them is a Andromon in black armor. The parts that used to be exposed flesh before are now all covered in armor.

"Oh, so that's how a biomerge feels like!" Kazu says from within HiAndromon.

But Calumons beam of light doesn't stop, it hits Ken's, Yoleis and Codeys digivices.

[Wormmon warp digivolve to... GranKuwagamon]

[Armadillomon warp digivolve to... Vikemon]

[Hawkmon warp digivolve to... Valkyrimon]

Ken's, Cody's and Yoleis Digimon finally reached the Mega level. While Armadillomon warp digivolved to Vikemon just like Gomamon, Wormmon became a large black insectoid Digimon while Hawkmon became a humanoid Digimon wearing white feathers. Grankuwagamon is the first to attack Megidramon but due to his small size in comparison to Megidramon he gets knocked to the ground. Suddenly, Ken's digivices begins to glow the same way it always glows when Worrmon digivolves.

[Grankuwagamon digivolve to... GrandisKuwagamon]

"Grankuwagamon digivolved again!?" Ken asks in surprise.

Izzy types some stuff into his laptop and says "yes it's technically a new digivolution but power wise you can compare it to when Imperialdramon changes to fighter mode, his power doesn't change much but he changes Form."

Megidramon sees all the already digivolved Digimon and the Digimon behind them who are ready to digivolve any moment and panics.

"Damn it, didn't we place all those tower to prevent that from happening? We should have reinforced the towers to prevent digivolution altogether!"

He opens a rift and attempts to fly into it. However GrandisKuwagamon catches him at his tail and slams him to the ground. There, HiAndromon, Beelzemon, Vikemon, Valkyremon, Imperialdramon and ShoutmonX6 begin to unleash their strongest attacks on Megidramon who bursts into data right after that. The remaining Blackgrowlmon run away in fear because their leader was defeated but X6 quickly swipes them away with his microphone. After that the digixros opens and the other Digimon degenerate back to their rookie forms. Kazu appears on Guardromons shoulder as HiAndromon degenerates. His wounds are compelety healed due to the biomerge. Suddenly the black Agumon that was left behind when Omnimon Zwart gave his power to Imperialdramon stands up.

"Wait, is that Agumon there Blackwargreymon?" Mimi asks.

"Indeed." BlackAgumon replies in the same high pitched voice as Agumon "those fiends somehow reversed the seal that I put between the world's with my body and captured me. They wanted to use Omnimons power against you but since it would be too difficult to capture Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon at once they used me instead. Due to the black digizoid in my armor the fusions result was a black version of Omnimon, Omnimon Zwart." then he turns to Christopher "You! Let me join your army! Your MetalGreymon managed to leave a wound in Omnimon Zwart without even being digivolved. Your strength is truly impressive."

"Pfff, in that Form you'll be of no use to me" Christopher replies.

"Just because I now have this Form does not mean I lost my power" BlackAgumon calmly replies. Suddenly, a black shell begins to form around his body. The shell cracks and bursts open. Now Blackwargreymon stands where BlackAgumon was before. Christopher says nothing and absorbs him into his xros loader.

Henry runs up to the cage with Calumon in it and detaches the device attached to its head. It flies out of the cage happily.

"So, what are you gonna do now?" Tai asks Henry "you and Takato are back in your world, do you want to stay here or do you want to come with us?"

"No, I'll come with you. If someone like Chaosgallantmon is just a small commander, the foe we are facing must have a huge army. When I first met you he already sent someone as strong as Gundramon out to hunt you, additionally he has the black gears, towers, spirals and tons of other stuff from your universe. I think we need as many people and Digimon from different worlds as we can" he replies.

"I couldn't have said it better" Takato says while getting up from the ground.

"You can count on our support too" Kazu says from Guardromons shoulder.

MarineAngemon says something that nobody can understand but it seems like it agrees.

"If everyone else goes we will too" Rika says with Renamon behind her.

"If all of you go somewhere I will stay here, someone has to keep this place safe" Beelzemon answers.

"Its settled then" Tai shouts motivating "we will rest for today let our injured Digimon recover and tomorrow we will see where those portals will lead us next!"

Authors notes: Not much to say for this chapter except for Imperialdramon Dark knight mode who is basically what imagined a Imperialdramon that received power from Omnimon Zwart instead of Omnimon would look like. Anyways please leave a review, nobody reviewed ever since chapter 2 and I want to know if people like this or not.
