Flying as incredible speed, with a golden aura surrounding him, Omnimon Alter-S looked around, seeing the corruption that now overtook the Digital World, before looking forward, narrowing his eyes as he saw the Dark Fortress getting closer and closer.
"You guys ready for this?" Tai asked in a serious tone through their merged form at Matt, Agumon and Gabumon.
"You bet, Tai!" Agumon responded enthusiastically, ready to get back into the fight.
"We're with you, Tai." Gabumon then replied, feeling Agumon's enthusiasm rubbing off on him.
"We're ready, Tai, but are you?" Matt then asked, knowing that things could go sideways, and that they would have to do what is necessary to save the Digital World.
"We'll cross that bridge if we come to it, Matt." Tai said, looking forward as he then added. "Looks like the fight is about to begin, let's hope everyone is ready."
Omnimon then came to a halt as he looked forward, seeing the Dark Queen's puppets in front of him.
In the air, ShadowforceVeedramon stared blankly at him, with ShadowSeraphimon on his right and Sakuyamon on his left, along with JetSilphymon, TyrantKabuterimon, and JetMervamon floating around them.
On the ground, meanwhile, MegaGargomon, Beowolfmon, Daipenmon, ShineGreymon: Ruin Mode, and ZekeGreymon stood before Omnimon, with Marcus on ShineGreymon's shoulder, while Christopher and Nene stood on ZekeGreymon's back.
Finally, standing on a ridge next to them, was a Digimon Omnimon had never seen before, which he assumed, based on its appearance, must be the Biomerged form of Yolei and Hawkmon.
Standing in place of the Digidestined and Digimon of Love and Sincerity was a male Digimon, his being cast in black, while a golden bird rested upon the Digimon's shoulder.
His face was concealed by a hawk-like helmet, steel covered his chest, left arm and coated around his legs, while in his possession, the Digimon wielded both a sword and a bow, where he held a blank expression as he seemed prepared to draw either his weapons in a heartbeat.
"Omnimon, the data we're getting is calling that Digimon Valkyrimon." Miki said through the comms, before Megumi added with concern. "Watch out. With his Feral Sword and Aurvandil Arrow, he can fight both close and long range, so remain on the alert."
The Biomerged fused Digimon nodded at the DATS girls and their words, but knew he had to fight.
"While it's nice to see all of you again, we sadly can't spend time with all of you, we have our dance partner for this event." Omnimon said to the enslaved Digi-heroes, before glowing in a bright aura once more, then shooting out, straight at ShadowforceVeedramon, who quickly extended and blocked with his dark blades as the two knights clashed, with the corrupt knight being pushed back by the tremendous power now running through Omnimon.
Eventually, the Biomerged form of Davis and Veemon managed to push Omnimon back, before the two began to engage one another in melee combat, moving at great speeds as they fought, fighting on equal terms, a sight that looked like a bright golden light and a dark purple light clashing in the air.
The other puppets of the Dark Queen then began to move, with ShadowSeraphimon turning to face the fight as he brought his hands together and began to say. "Strike of the Seven..."
"Final Excalibur!" The combined voices of Cody and Armadillomon cried out, causing ShadowSeraphimon to quickly turn, summon his blade in his right hand, and block the oncoming attack, staring blankly at the new, Biomerged form of the Digidestined and Digimon of Knowledge and Reliability.
Looking at the combined form that was Cody and Armadillomon, ShadowSeraphimon saw an angelic Digimon clashing against him, looking mindlessly at the figure that closely resembled his light form, only this Digimon was clad in a darker shade of blue armour, he too had the golden lined mark upon his helmet, while a total of eight wings adorned his back.
"Sorry TK. Sorry Patamon, but we're your opponents now." The Digimon known as Dominimon said, pushing ShadowSeraphimon back as the two began to fight with their blades, neither giving the other the edge.
"Don't let him get any distance, that way he can't use his ranged attacks." Cody said to his partner through their link.
"Got ya, partner." Armadillomon replied, keeping his focus as he fought alongside and as one with Cody.
"Spirit Strike..." Sakuyamon declared as she called forth her four fox spirits, which too had been corrupted, each now shaded black as they lunged themselves towards Omnimon and Dominimon, before the attack was intercepted.
"Final Justice!" A voice cried out as a blast of electricity hit the fox spirits, disintegrating them, before Gallantmon in his Crimson Mode came rushing down from the sky, straight at Sakuyamon, who blocked with her staff against the knight Digimon's two swords.
"Sorry Rika, Renamon, but if fighting you is the only way to get through to you, then get ready for a fight!" The combined voices of Takato and Guilmon said as they began to fight the corrupted Shaman Digimon, trading blows from her spear and dodging her fist and kicks.
It was at this moment that everything turned chaotic for the corrupted Digi-heroes, with them all scattering as their enemies began to pop up, causing fights to break out all over the area.
JetSilphymon flew down and landed next to BeoWolfmon and Daipenmon as Aldamon, Beetlemon, and Loweemon landed right before them, ready to once again take down their former allies for their Queen.
With a smirk on his face, however, Aldamon looked at his two friends and asked. "Alright guys, you ready to show them your new trick?"
"You know it, Takuya." JP replied enthusiastically as he and Loweemon were both covered in cocoons of Data, while the corrupted Warriors merely tilted their heads as though they were confused at the sight.
"Fusion Evolution!" JP and Koichi cried out, before the cocoons bursted, revealing two new Digimon, the Fusion forms of the Warriors of Thunder and Darkness.
Combining the Spirits of Thunder, JP Fusion evolved into a behemoth sized Digimon, doubling the size of MetalKabuterimon, looking like a massive purple plated beetle with a gigantic golden horn protruding from the top of its head.
As for Koichi, his new form remained the same size as Loweemon, cast in the same armour as his Human Spirit, only six metallic golden wings lining up upon the other had emerged from his back, the pistons from JagerLoweemon had been mounted upon his shoulderplates, while in his possession he wielded the same staff as Loweemon, only the dark energies coming from it were far more powerful, where he swung his weapon around, casting around a dark afterglow with his display.
"RhinoKabuterimon!" JP bellowed, where the back opened up, casting out his wings, which flapped as electricity sparked from his horn.
"Rhihimon!" Kouchi declared, slamming his spear into the ground as he glared at his corrupted friends.
"Alright, let's show them how much stronger we are now!" Aldamon said with determination, before launching himself forward, moving faster than he did before hand, crashing into JetSilphymon as the two went skyrocketing into the air.
Pushing him back, JetSilphymon pushed Aldamon back, before raising her left arm as she declared. "Jet Binter..."
From her declaration, several blasts of concentrated air fired towards the Warrior of Fire, who easily dodged the attack, before he counterattacked, where he pointed his arms at his enslaved girlfriend and called out. "Atomic Inferno!"
Though the enslaved Warrior of Wind managed to dodge several of the fireballs, she was forced to block the last one with her pinwheel, groaning slightly from the fire, before looking around, not finding Aldamon anywhere.
"Behind you." Takuya said with a smirk as he appeared behind her, raising both arms over his head as he brought his combined fists down on JetSilphymon, causing her to go crashing down into the ground below, only to emerge a second later as she shot herself back up into the sky, continuing to fight the Warrior of Fire, who was happy that he was finally able to fight her on equal terms.
"Ice Crusher Avalanche..." Daipenmon called, opening his beak and once again releasing a great downpour of snow, which headed straight for RhinoKabuterimon.
"Sorry, Tommy, but that trick's not going to work this time." JP said through his new form as he took to the air, where electricity began to gather in his horn.
"Thunder Laser!" The Warrior of Thunder then announced, casting off the thunder stored within his horn as a great blast, striking into Daipenmon's chest, causing the enslaved Warrior of Ice to stumble back a little from the impact of the lightning, before letting out a cry as RhinoKabuterimon then rammed into his stomach, sending the giant penguin Digimon crashing to the ground.
As it seemed that the Legendary Warriors had indeed improved, it was even more clear from the clash of brothers, where BeoWolfmon swung his saber, trying to slice up Koichi, but the Warrior of Darkness blocked each attack, even managing to force his enslaved brother into a more defensive stance.
"Red Cross!" Rhihimon announced, coming in close and locking blades with BeoWolfmon, before the eyes of his lion helmet began to glow, releasing a pent up energy, which blasted BeoWolfmon back, causing him to groan in pain as the dark energies struck his being.
"Insect Cannon..." TyrantKabuterimon declared, meanwhile, gathering energy as he aimed his cannon head towards his opponents, preparing to blast them all to oblivion.
"Ballet Gun!" The combined voices of Mimi and Palmon yelled, where a blast of red and green energy shot from the side and hit TyrantKabuterimon in the face, knocking him to the side as his cannon fired and missed, before he turned and looked at his new opponent.
However, instead of Rosemon: Beyond like last time, standing in her place was a Digimon that indeed had similar qualities to her, including her shapely figure, her ruby red lips and her face concealed by a plant-like helmet, there were many changes in this Digimon's form.
Replacing the more revealing outfit Rosemon used to wear, the new female Digimon was cast in a more regal ensemble, where she wore a massive red dress that cut open at the front, showing off her legs, with her feet adorning a set of beautiful red high heels.
The upper of her clothing consisted of a set of thick black belts that hugged her figure, while the same material that covered her legs also covered around her chest and flowed down her arms as a massive set of sleeves.
Her hair had changed from blonde to a sparkling purple that stopped at her shoulders.
Her flower-like helmet had a golden crown resting at the top, giving her a continued regal appearance, only her expression held no time for showing off, where she brought her sleeves back up, each concealing her weaponry as she prepared to face TyrantKabuterimon.
"Izzy, I know you're in there somewhere. I'm sorry for hurting you. You are everything to me. I love you, and when this nightmare is over, I promise I'll make it up to you." Mimi said through her new form, Rafflesimon, not even flinching as TyrantKabuterimon let out a feral insect-like roar as digital bugs swarmed around him and shot out towards her.
Instead, the fairy Digimon merely held out her hands, where four digital flowers, shimmering in different colours, appeared, facing the incoming swarm as they fired a huge blast of energy at them, disintegrating them before they could reach her.
"Arctic Blizzard!" Another voice called out, causing the area to suddenly freeze, before a massive morning star smashed through the wall of ice, causing the resulting shards to bombard TyrantKabuterimon.
And while his insects emerged, protecting their creator, the attack caused TyrantKabuterimon to look down, seeing that beneath Rafflesiamon was another opponent, which looked like a massive walrus-like being that had a viking helmet resting on his head.
A fur coat hung from his shoulders, while black straps were cast around his chest and arms, keeping the set of shields secured upon his shoulders.
And within his massive arms was his weapon, a set of morning stars.
"You need to chill out, afterall you should know not to hit a lady." Vikemon, the Mega form of Gomamon, said with a smirk as the enslaved Biomerged Digimon of Knowledge roared at him and Rafflesimon, working himself into a mindless frenzy.
Meanwhile, from his vantage point, Valkyrimon was about to move, before sensing someone behind him, causing him to quickly draw his blade and turn, blocking just in time as a massive claw-like hand came crashing down on it.
Staring vacantly at the attacker, Valkyrimon took in the appearance, seeing it was an insect Digimon with a more humanoid build, with his being cast in jet black armour and a single red eye gleaming from the creature's helmet.
Giant black claws ran along the side of the Digimon's arms, fusing with his armour, allowing him to freely move his hands, while four orange wings were mounted to the back, looking fairly cybernetic in appearance, but also seemed practical.
"Yolei, we're going to save you and Hawkmon, that's a promise." The Digimon known as GrandisKuwagamon said in the combined voices of Ken and Wormmon, while Valkyrimon merely ignored his words, pushing the large insect back and bringing his sword up.
"Feral Sword..." He declared in the combined voices of Yolei and Hawkmon, where the sword was covered in an icy aura, before quickly swinging the blade at his opponent, who quickly moved out of the way, watching as the ground where he once stood turned to ice.
"We need to be careful, Wormmon, We don't know what else they're capable of." Ken said through his link to his partner, getting no complaints from the Digimon of Kindness.
"Grandis Scissors!" The Biomerged Digimon of Kindness then bellowed as his claws glowed with energy, where it began to fight against Valkyrimon, who used his sword to block and counterattack as the two began to fight.
"Mega Barrage..." MegaGargomon declared in the meantime as he faced the Digimon of his fellow Tamers, raising his arms as he fired every missile he had towards them.
"Corona Blaster!" Beelzemon called with a great voice, raising his right arm and firing blasts of energy at the missles, destroying a few as they headed towards them.
"Atomic Ray!" HiAndromon called out in Kazu and Guardomon's voices, releasing the sets of energies in their shoulder mounted turbines and combining the power as a single stream of energy, taking out a few more missiles.
"Gargo Missiles..." MegaGargomon then declared, firing the large missiles from his shoulders his enemies.
"Bunny Blades!" Antylamon called back, rewriting the Data in her arms, changing them into the shape of axes, which she then swung around as she leapt past the missiles, cutting into each and causing many to explode in mid air, before they could rain down and hit her friends.
"Way to go Antylamon!" Suzie cheered as she stood with the other humans who were off to the side, a little down she could not Biomerge, but with her smarts, faith and her Digimon Cards, she believed she and Antylamon could save Henry and Terriermon from Kari's hold.
"Thunder Clap!" Justimon then announced, slamming his fist into the ground, sending a massive shockwave that threw MegaGargomon off guard, causing him to stumble around with little to no control over his being.
"Lightning Blade!" HiAndromon followed up as he saw his chance to attack, casting his right arm in a long line of electricity, jumping at MegaGargomon and plunging his electrified blade into the manipulated Digimon's leg, fully knocking him off balance and causing MegaGargomon to fall back, crashing into the ground behind him.
"Alright, this is getting easy!" Kazu cheered through his Biomerged form, causing the others to sigh, where Kenta said from below. "I hope he didn't just jinx us."
Meanwhile, OmniShoutmon and Arresterdramon: Superior Mode were locked in combat with ZekeGreymon, using their smaller forms to gain the advantage over their enslaved friend.
"Twin Fireball Strike!" OmniShoutmon called, starting off their clash as he encased both his hands in flame, tossing the set of infernos at ZekeGreymon, just before Arresterdramon followed up.
"Prism!" He announced, casting off a series of pink spheres of energy, which increased in power from his Superior Mode and were bombarded at ZekeGreymon.
"Plasma Railgun..." ZekeGreymon declared, raising his right arm at OmniShoutmon and firing a blast of energy at him, only for Arresterdramon to fly down and pick up the Digimon King, both easily dodging the attack.
"Zeke Flame..." The enslaved cyborg T-rex then declared as blue flames shot out of his mouth as he tried to incinerate OmniShoutmon and Arresterdramon.
And though both easily dodged the attack, the flames continued to spread, heading for Mikey and Tagiru.
But looking at one another, preparing their Fusion Loaders and nodding, the pair countered the oncoming attack.
"Ballistamon!" Mikey called, drawing Ballistamon from out of his Fusion Loader.
"Sakkakumon!" Tagiru followed up, calling upon the power of the steel Digimon, before Sakkakumon and Ballistamon announced as one. "Digifuse!"
With Sakkakumon giving his power to Ballistamon, the machine Digimon appeared before Mikey and Tagiru, only now his shoulderplates were cast in a set of green orbs, each fixed with a gleaming red eye, while his chest compartment had also changed, gaining a green paintjob and red eye.
"ReflectBallistamon!" He called, just as the flames of ZekeGreymon's attack struck him, only they were absorbed into the eyes upon his form and stored as Data.
"That was a close one." Jeremy commented as he stood behind Mikey and Tagiru, along with Joe, Suzie, Kenta, Airu, Yuu, Angie, Jeri, Ai, Mako and the DATS team members, who all then looked to see JetMervamon and Tuwarmon engaged in melee combat with one another.
Thomas, however, looked to the side and said to the group of humans. "Heads up, here they come."
The group then turned to see Marcus, Christopher and Nene rushing towards them, ready to take down what they thought were defenseless opponents.
However, much to their surprise, the back of Kenta's shirt began to move, before MarineAngemon popped out and said. "Hi."
"Kahuna Waves!" The small angel Digimon announced as he let out a puff, causing a large heart shaped energy to launch towards the three enslaved Digi-heroes, who stopped in their tracks as they blocked it, letting out light groans as the energy hit them, feeling them lose power themselves.
The three then quickly jumped back as the ground beneath them erupted, revealing a very angry Cho-Hakkaimon as she brought up her hammer.
"Now I've got you, you maggots!" The puppet Digimon yelled as she swung her hammer, which caused Christopher and Nene to jump away, while Marcus crossed his arms, taking the full brunt of the attack as he was knocked back.
"Omnimon, looks like everything is going according to plan so far." Mikey said through his communicator towards the knight Digimon, who was still locked in combat with ShadowforceVeedramon.
"Ray of Shadow..." ShadowforceVeedramon then said vacantly, casting off a blast of darkness from the V crest upon his armour, which Omnimon just managed to avoid, before countering as he leapt up and attacked.
"Grey Cannon!" He called in a great voice, raising his left arm and firing off a blast of plasma energy, striking ShadowforceVeedramon in the chest and sending him back a few feet, where the corrupted knight let out a deep growl.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were getting pissed off." Omnimon said to his opponent in an amused voice, before shooting right at him, clashing once again with their blades, locking the duo in a temporary stalemate.
However, from behind Omnimon, a familiar corrupted dragon Digimon was making her way towards the fight, black flames gathering in her mouth.
"You four are so predictable." DarkMagnadramon said as she prepared to attack Omnimon and help out her Queen's champion.
"Phoenix Fire!" Another voice cut in, causing the corrupt Digimon of Light to quickly move out of the way of the oncoming fire, glaring at the sight of Phoenixmon floating near her, with Sora sitting on the large bird's back.
"This isn't going to end like you want, Magnadramon. We'll fight you to the bitter end." Sora said to her corrupt friend, no longer wanting to sit on the sidelines.
"While I normally prefer fish, I do enjoy fried chicken every now and then!" DarkMagnadramon said in a dark tone as she gathered fire in her mouth once again.
"Fire Tornado!" The corrupt Digimon of Light then roared, releasing the flames as a great and terrible wave at Sora and Phoenixmon.
"Hold on, Sora!" Phoenixmon called as she quickly flew out of the way, moving quickly as DarkMagnadramon flew after her, the two winged Digimon locked in aerial combat as they fired at one another.
Below them, ShineGreymon: Ruin Mode let out a roar as he clashed with MirageGaogamon: Burst Mode, breaking off his attack every now and them to take a swipe at Rosemon or Ravemon, the two Burst Mode Digimon easily dodging his swings as they attacked him, sending the corrupted Digimon into a mindless frenzy.
"Shining Blast!" ShineGreymon roared, gathering darkness around his being, before he shot toward MirageGaogamon, preparing to ram into him with all his might.
However, Rosemon and Ravemon cut in, where the pixie Digimon swung her thorn whip at ShineGreymon, managing to hook it around his head and pull him aside, narrowly missing his target and allowing MirageGaogamon a chance to counter attack.
"Meteor Shackle!" MirageGaogamon announced, swinging the spherical end of his weapon forward, slamming it into ShineGreymon's side and throwing him back several feet.
And seeing ShineGreymon rising, Ravemon saw his chance to deal in an attack of his own, where he used his great speed to close the gap between him and ShineGreymon.
"Mourning Dance!" Ravemon declared, swinging his fists countless times into ShineGreymon, which made the manipulated dragon flinch at the continued pain.
All around, the fighting continued, neither side backing down, one determined to save the Digital World and their friends, the other to serve their Queen and destroy her enemies.
However, the fighting quickly came to a halt when the distorted voice of the Dark Queen was heard as she screamed in anger. "Enough!"
At the sound, the sky above began to crackle with dark energy, before streams of dark lighting came crashing down, causing the Digi-heroes to quickly dodge and move out of the way, while Omnimon crossed his arms and blocked as one bolt went straight for him, pushing him back to the ground as he skidded a few feet, straining against the energy as he was pushed back, a sight mirrored by Gallantmon as he landed right next to his fellow knight.
All around, the ground began to crack and give way, causing the humans that weren't directly in the fight to quickly move, less the ground open up beneath and drag them into a dark abyss.
When the chaos finished, the landscape was a complete mess, with the sky still crackling with dark energy, blocking out the light, while those hit by the attack panted from the pain.
From the sudden destruction, Omnimon and the other heroes then looked up, seeing Kari floating in the air before them, while their eyes widened at seeing her new form.
"I gave you the chance to join me, willingly, but you all are stubborn and ignorant. You cling to failed ideals and blind hope. You will gain nothing here, the Digital World is mine. I am it's Queen, it's Goddess!" Kari declared, her distorted voice sending chills down everyone's backs, but Omnimon remained undeterred as he stood up, glaring at the corrupted Digidestined of Light.
"We remain with our hope because we know it will not fail us. You might say you don't believe in hope, light or friendship anymore, but we will prove you wrong. We will destroy the evil inside of you and get the real Kari back. So give us your best shot!" Omnimon called in retaliation, believing he could still save his sister, believing he could save his friends and all those Kari had manipulated.
Laughing wickedly, Kari replied with a dark tone as DarkMagnadramon flew near her. "If you insist."
At that moment, DarkMagnadramon returned to Gatomon, landing on her partner's shoulder, confusing the heroes as HiAndromon started to ask. "Why did she...?"
The group then saw Kari raise her right hand, revealing her D-3, causing the heroes and heroines' eyes to widen in realization as Takato said in shock through Gallantmon. "Oh, crap."
"Biomerge, activate!" Kari called, where a black sphere of energy surrounded her and Gatomon, before bursting with energy the group had not felt before as everyone shielded their eyes, while groaned from the strain.
When they finally looked once more, their eyes filled with horror at the new figure, whose size was about the same as DarknessBagramon, as far as Mikey could tell.
The new Digimon was feminine in appearance, clad entirely in black armor, with high heeled feet, claw-like hands, and a curved moon crest on its chest.
Six large silver bat wings came out of the female Digimon's back, with a long, black cloak flowing down her neck and reaching the ground.
The shoulderpads resembled the one's Kari wore, but larger, with black mist bellowing from the dragon's eyes.
Her face resembled a silver porcelain mask, with her eyes glowed bright red, while silver hair flowed down the figure's upper back.
Finally, the upper head was shaped like Kari's crown, with the spikes sticking out more as the black gem on its forehead glowed brightly.
Raising her arms as the aura grew, the ominous power felt by everyone present, the new Digimon spoke in the distorted voices of Kari and Gatomon, sending chills down everyone's back as she declared her name. "Ophanimon: Darkness Mode!"
