Previously on Revolution of the DigiDestined:

Ken here, some amazing stuff has happened with some new surprises. Ogremon healed. Agumon biomerged into War Greymon; Gabumon biomerged into Metal Garurumon, and Tentomon biomerged into Hercules Kabuterimon. We left the forest just in time with Seraphimon some distance behind us. Gatomon biomerged into Ophanimon and defeated Metal Etemon. With Metal Etemon gone, the forest started to delete.

Ophanimon picked Daisuke and Veemon up, heading to the city like us. It's time for another union. With some of us biomerged, we have a greater chance against our future opponents. The surprises aren't over yet though. On with the conclusion...


Ophanimon's sight started to blur. She shook her head, but it didn't go away. Her forehead started to heat up. Daisuke sensed something wrong as they were losing altitude.

"When I say so, we jump to the ground, O.K.?" Daisuke asked, whispering.

Veemon nodded.

"... Now." Daisuke whispered.

They let Ophanimon drop them, as they landed safely on the ground, both on their butts. Ophanimon blacked out and had a rough landing, which sent her unconscious. She devolved back to an unconscious Hikari and Gatomon. Daisuke and Veemon rushed over to them. Daisuke turned Hikari around and touched her forehead: it was hot. Veemon did the same with Gatomon and her forehead was also hot.

"It seems that Hikari had it first. By being Ophanimon, she transferred her sickness to Gatomon." Daisuke sighed.

"What now?" Veemon asked, looking at Daisuke.

"Well, we've got to continue on our way carrying them." Daisuke replied.

"It might be a long walk." Veemon warned.

"I don't have the crest of victory for nothing you know." Daisuke grinned.

Veemon shrugged. "O.K."

Daisuke put Gatomon on Veemon's back, who held onto her. Daisuke gently picked Hikari up into his arms and the two started walking...


The city came in sight of the flying codelimin. War Greymon went faster, taking the lead. Metal Garurumon was racing with Saber Leomon. Seraphimon kept his distance, watching in interest. In no time, War Greymon landed in the city, the first to arrive. Hercules Kabuterimon arrived next. Metal Garurumon was ahead of Saber Leomon. Though Metal Garurumon wasn't paying attention ahead of him and slammed into a glass door, Saber Leomon passed him, smiling.

Seraphimon landed next to a dazed Metal Garurumon. Metal Garurumon noticed him.

"Who... are... you?" He asked.

"Name's Seraphimon. Are you O.K. onii-chan?" Seraphimon asked.

Metal Garurumon quickly got to his feet.

"Takeru!" He yelled.

Metal Garurumon devolved back into Gabumon and Yamato. Seraphimon devolved back into Lucemon and Takeru. Takeru rushed into Yamato's embrace. Both embraced each other dearly, missing one another. Gabumon stared at Lucemon.

"Hey I'm Lucemon: Patamon's advanced form." Lucemon greeted.

Gabumon blinked. "Nice to meet you."

"It's great that you're back!" Yamato exclaimed.

"I was waiting when you would be alone so I would be able to announce my arrival." Takeru explained.

"Excuse me but are we going to stay out here all day?" Gabumon asked.

"Yeah. We're going in." Yamato nodded.

The four entered the city. They headed towards their friends.

"Who are you?" Yamato asked.

"Lucemon: Patamon's advanced form." Lucemon replied.

"Pleasure meeting you." Yamato nodded...


They reached their friends.

"Hey Takeru! Great to have you back." Taichi greeted.

"We've heard that you defeated Puppetmon, is that right?" Sora asked.

"Sure is with Lucemon and me as one." Takeru replied, smiling.

"It's an honor to meet you again chosen hope." Saber Leomon greeted.

Takeru blinked. "... Thanks... I guess."


Daisuke appeared from behind them. He was extremely exhausted with Veemon. Taichi noticed them and rushed over. He quickly took Hikari into his arms.

"What happened?" Taichi asked.

"She just collapsed. I think she has a fever." Daisuke fainted.

"These two. Chosen Submission... The virtue suits them well. They walked all the way here carrying chosen light and her copedam." Saber Leomon explained.

"From where?" Mimi asked.

"From almost the beginning of this area." Saber Leomon replied.

"Wow! It's amazing he tolerated it this far." Osamu admired.

"We have sick and exhausted. We need to find a hospital." Joe urged.

"I'll biomerge and look for one. It won't be long." Tentomon volunteered.

"Ascend to Power!" Koushiro yelled.

"TENTOMON BIOMERGE!"
"... HERCULES KABUTERIMON!"

Hercules Kabuterimon took to the air and checked the perimeter, heading out of sight. Veemon fainted. Lucemon and Takeru came over and Lucemon carried Gatomon for Veemon. With Hercules Kabuterimon gone, Tankmon and Mekanorimon quickly surrounded the Destined Voyagers. Lucemon gave Gatomon to Palmon and Taichi gave Hikari to Sora. Megadramon and Gigadramon held the skies.

"The ones who can biomerge would attack. The rest prepare yourselves to defend our weak ones." Taichi instructed

They all nodded.

"Ascend to Power!" Taichi yelled.

"Ascend to Power!" Yamato yelled.

"Ascend to Power!" Takeru yelled.

"AGUMON BIOMERGE!"

"GABUMON BIOMERGE!"

"LUCEMON BIOMERGE!"

"... WAR GREYMON!"

"... METAL GARURUMON!"

"... SERAPHIMON!"

War Greymon and Seraphimon took to the air to fight with Megadramon and Gigadramon. Saber Leomon took on Mekanorimon while Metal Garurumon took on Tankmon.

"Tankmon - Maturity Android Meric - Tankmon is a war armored vehicle of the ground, tanks but yet extremely vulnerable from the air - Its attacks are: Hyper Cannon and Machine Gun Arms."

"Mekanorimon - Maturity Machine Grasl - A person can take a seat in Mekanorimon's pilot seat. It's one of the artillery of the ground and it can fly - Its attacks are: Twin Beam and 4-Disk Break."

"Megadramon - Migration Dragon Grasl - One of the artillery of the sky, Megadramon holds the skies permanently from any invasion - His attacks are: Darkside Attack and Ultimate Slicer."

"Gigadramon - Migration Android Grasl - Another of the artillery of the sky, Gigadramon invades the skies of others with success - His attacks are: Gigabyte Wing and Guilty Wing."


"Our units have them surrounded sir." Hagurumon reported.

"Excellent. Order them to finish them off." Machinedramon replied.

"Very well sir. Will do." Hagurumon remarked...


"Copy that." Megadramon nodded.

Seraphimon flew straight at him. Megadramon flew to his side instantly. He turned around, facing the distancing Seraphimon.

"Darkside Attack!" He yelled.

Seraphimon flew upwards, avoiding the attack. He turned around and stopped in midair.

"Seven Heavens!" He yelled.

The attack purposely missed Megadramon. It exploded harmlessly on the ground. Megadramon turned to see and that's what Seraphimon planned. He flew at him at top speed. Megadramon gasped, turning around, but it was too late to react.

"Hallowed Knuckle!" Seraphimon yelled.

Megadramon crashed into the ground hard. Seraphimon landed close by.

"Hallowed Ascension!" He yelled.

Megadramon was forced into the air again. Seraphimon flew up after him.

'Perfect shot.' Seraphimon thought.

He was below Megadramon, facing his back, gaining on him. Megadramon had lost control from the crash. Seraphimon took his ultimate: one chance shot.

"This is what took down Puppetmon. Seven Heavens!" He yelled.

The aim was true, as it completely collided into Megadramon. Megadramon shrieked in horror, instantly vaporizing.

Seraphimon landed close with the others. His battle for the moment was over and it was timeout for the moment. Seraphimon devolved back into Takeru and Lucemon: both collapsing from fatigue...


"Excellent." Machinedramon grinned.

"The battles they are having now, they might win in them, but yet it would cost them dearly, exhausting them. Chosen Victory and Chosen Light are out like flies. Hercules Kabuterimon wouldn't be a nuisance. Victory is close at hand." Machinedramon cheered...


"Gigabyte Wing!" Gigadramon yelled.

"Terra Force!" War Greymon countered.

The two attacks collided into each other, canceling each other out.

"Great Tornado!" War Greymon yelled.

Gigadramon flew to his side, avoiding it. War Greymon stopped, dazed, his head spinning. He looked at Gigadramon, but saw more than one.

"Where did the others come from? This would make it harder." War Greymon whispered.

Gigadramon laughed. He took the chance and rammed into War Greymon, sending him crashing into the ground roughly.

"That hurt." War Greymon groaned.

Gigadramon slapped his face with his tail. War Greymon was whipped around to his stomach. He slowly and weakly got to his feet. Gigadramon gave his signal.

"You're weaker than I thought." Gigadramon mocked, flying higher.

"Hyper Cannon!" Several Tankmon yelled.

"Twin Beam!" Several Mekanorimon yelled.

The double strike sent War Greymon out like a fly. Gigadramon roared in laughter. Sora tried to rush over to War Greymon, but Joe held her back.

"Don't forget that you're holding Hikari. Taichi wouldn't want her to get hurt." Joe reminded.

Sora sighed, nodding. War Greymon got to his feet in a flash, flying up towards Gigadramon, making him gasp. It was too late for him to react.

"Great Tornado!" War Greymon yelled.

He ripped through Gigadramon, deleting him instantly. War Greymon turned around in midair, watching over the battleground. He was the lord of the sky now.

"Alright!" War Greymon cheered...


"No! That can't be! War Greymon is the strongest! He should be weak enough to stay out of the battle. Why?" Machinedramon asked...


"Freeze Breath!" Metal Garurumon yelled.

He froze some Tankmon. Metal Garurumon slammed through them, shattering them.

"Metal Wolf Claw!" Metal Garurumon yelled.

He froze most of the Tankmon, shattering them instantly.

"Hyper Cannon!" Tankmon yelled.

"Garuru Tomahawk!" Metal Garurumon countered.

The two attacks collided; Garuru Tomahawk canceled out Hyper Cannon and deleted Tankmon. Metal Garurumon howled, making the Tankmon roll back a bit. Metal Garurumon grinned, turning to the remaining Tankmon. He leaped towards them.

"Metal Wolf Claw!" He yelled, freezing them all.

They were all instantly deleted, none remained. Metal Garurumon smiled and howled in triumph...


He turned his attention towards Saber Leomon, who was just finishing up with the last of the Mekanorimon, smiling. Hercules Kabuterimon landed in center, the others gathered around him. They put Daisuke; Veemon; Hikari, and Gatomon all onto Hercules Kabuterimon.

"Did you find it?" Biyomon asked.

"Yep I found one... It seems that there was some action here." Hercules Kabuterimon nodded.

"Just a minor battle: nothing much." War Greymon replied.

Joe put the exhausted Takeru and Lucemon on Hercules Kabuterimon with Daisuke; Hikari, and their copedam.

"The rest hop on. War Greymon; Metal Garurumon; what would you two say if you both were escort?" Hercules Kabuterimon asked.

The remaining destined voyagers and copedam climbed onto Hercules Kabuterimon with Saber Leomon last.

"We'd love to be the escort." Metal Garurumon nodded.

"I'd do it to protect Hikari." War Greymon accepted.

With everybody one and ready to go, Hercules Kabuterimon; War Greymon, and Metal Garurumon all took to the air, leaving behind a great battlefield filled with craters. The finishing end of the battle was yet to come...


Shells exploded in front of Hercules Kabuterimon; Metal Garurumon, and War Greymon. They all stopped in midair.

"Flak? In the Digital World?" War Greymon asked.

"It's coming from the ground." Biyomon noted.

Hercules Kabuterimon looked downwards and hastily flew to his side, avoiding Machinedramon's ramming. Machinedramon turned around, facing them in midair. Metal Garurumon and War Greymon instantly went into offense.

"Freeze Breath!" Metal Garurumon yelled.

"Terra Force!" War Greymon yelled.

The two attacks headed towards Machinedramon from different angles. Machinedramon noticed that they were forming a V, which eventually would meet in the middle. Machinedramon noticed that he was the middle. He flew backwards a little and the two attacks collided just in front of him, canceling each other out.

"It seems he has more brains than we give him credit for." War Greymon whispered.

Metal Garurumon nodded. "We need a Plan B."

"Distraction and I'll be it." War Greymon decided.

"Very well." Metal Garurumon agreed.

War Greymon flew towards Machinedramon.

"Giga Cannon!" Machinedramon yelled.

The attack hit War Greymon and Metal Garurumon, sending War Greymon flying back. The two attacks formed a U, making Metal Garurumon and War Greymon collide into each other and actually combine.

"HUDIDOS EVOLUTION!"
"... OMNIMON!"

Machinedramon gasped at the gigantic size of Omnimon. He gulped in fear. His defeat undoubted now.

"Omnimon - Muzon Warrior Jerebi - With both skills of Metal Garurumon and War Greymon, Omnimon can slash through anything or blasts through anything - His attacks are: Transcendent Sword; Garuru Cannon; Splendor Blade; Positron Laser."

Even though his defeat was irrelevant now, Machinedramon wasn't going to go down without a fight. Hercules Kabuterimon and those awake on him were in awe from the gigantic codelimin standing in front of them. Omnimon's feet reached the ground below and Machinedramon was at his chest. Omnimon looked down at him, grinning.

"Transcendent Sword!" Omnimon yelled.

He unleashed his sword and sliced it through the middle of Machinedramon. He unleashed his cannon next.

"Garuru Cannon!" Omnimon yelled.

The attack collided with the sliced Machinedramon and exploded, deleting Machinedramon instantly. The destined voyagers and their copedam cheered with Hercules Kabuterimon. Omnimon withdrew his sword and cannon. He devolved back into Taichi; Agumon; Yamato, and Gabumon. Hercules Kabuterimon moved in and caught them.

"That was amazing!" Sora exclaimed.

Taichi smiled, but fainted along with Yamato; Agumon, and Gabumon.

"The battle must have exhausted them." Mimi whispered.

"Duh!" Osamu rolled his eyes...
