Our heroes arrived to the Cyber Sleuth's world only to find it in chaos. Make Digimon were beginning to ransack every corner of Tokyo. Thye managed to fend off the worst with unexpected help. Now they know the location of Boltboutamon Z and head to their final battle.

Date and Kerpymon were the last to arrive to Odaiba. The others had already gathered. "Okay, that's everyone." Rand said. "Now that we're all here, let's move. Lead the way, Keisuke."

"Right." As Keisuke jogged ahead, the others followed.

"There's no telling how difficult this fight will be." Shoma said. "Boltboutamon on his own was a formidable foe. Now that he's merged with Zygarde…"

"We'll make it work." Lunick said. "We always do."

"There ain't gonna be no fight if we can't get past the army." Fei said,

Summer nodded. "That's true. Hey Blade, any idea what Arceus is planning?"

"I cannot imagine. But I'm sure my master knows what to do."

Takumi looked at MegaGargomon. "We better pull out all the stops."

"Okay." His Digimon reverted to Terriermon. Takumi turned golden as they kept going.

GOLDEN ARMOR DIGIVOLUTION

"Terriermon Golden Armor Digivolve to…Rapidmon Armor!"

"We better do the same!" Ami said as she turned emerald green.

"Right!" Keisuke replied as he turned blue. Arata turned a brighter blue. Yuuko glowed white, Yuugo went grey and Rand glowed Purple.

BURST DIGIVOLUTION

"Rosemon Burst Digivolve to…Rosemon Burst Mode!"

"ShineGreymon Burst Digivolve to…ShineGreymon Burst Mode!"

"Ravemon Burst Digivolve to… Ravemon Burst Mode!"

DIGIVOLUTION

"HerculesKabuterimon Digivolce to…TyrantKabuterimon!"

"Diaboromon Digivolve to…Armageddemon!"

"Machinedramon Digivolve to…Chaosdramon."

"We better suit up as well!" Ben said, holding up his Key Stone. Summer did the same and Latios along with Latias Mega Evolved. Red Eyes, Blue Eyes, and Blade Mega Evolved their Pokemon as well as Keldeo switched to its Resolute Form.

Shoma looked at the transformed Digimon and Pokemon. "Amazing…this world is full of powerful Tamers. I wish the others could see this."

As soon as the party reached the bridge, they noticed military trucks and soldiers guarding it. "That must be the blockade Matayoshi told us about." Ryuji said.

"If they're still there, did Arceus fail?" Kellyn asked. "Or has it not put its plan into action yet?"

Ami dialed on her Digivice. "Hello? Mirei?"

"Yes?"

"We're at the bridge, but the military is still there. Any idea what Arceus' plan is?"

"Yes. Go on ahead and approach them. Arceus will be ready."

"Huh? Wait, what's the plan?"

"You'll see." The woman simply smiled.

"Why do I have the feeling we're being messed with?" Red Eyes asked.

"She does that." Rosemon sighed.

"Well, I have yet to see Mirei wrong. Let's go." Keisuke said, stepping forward.

"Hold on a second, you want to just walk up to them and ask them to let us through?" Chitose asked. "I don't think pretty please will get us in."

"Do any of you have a better idea?" Rui asked. Nobody replied. "Then let's trust Mirei."

"And if this doesn't work?" Solana asked.

"Then we go for plan B." Wes replied, taking out a Pokeball.

Rand sighed. "I really hope it doesn't come to that."

Takumi looked at the Digimon and Pokemon. "You guys wait here. If they see a Digimon or Pokemon approach, they might attack."

Keisuke was the first to approach. The others followed. As soon as one of the men spotted them, they stepped forward. "Halt! It's dangerous up ahead! Nobody can pass this point!"

"We know what's over there." Kyoko said. "And we believe we know how to stop it."

"What are you talking about?"

"It's a Digimon." Takumi said. "Ordinary weapons aren't going to do anything to it. But with the Digimon we brought with us we can stop it."

"Digimon? Those digital things people get in EDEN? You expect me to believe data can appear in the real world?"

"We'll prove it." Nokia signaled for the Digimon in hiding to come out.

The leader of the men looked at the Digimon and Pokemon that approached. "Ahh! More monsters!"

"Wait!" Yuuko stepped forward with her brother. "They're with us."

"Wait…You're Yuuko and Yuugo Kamishiro. What are you doing here?"

"We've been trying to fight this threat. Please let us through." Yuugo said. "If we can stop the creature up ahead the rest of the rouge Digimon will disappear."

The squad leader sighed. "With all due respect, this isn't a video game. I know you might feel responsible if you think these are your EDEN's Digimon-"

"With all due respect to you, I know these are Digimon. And I know we can save this world if we defeat the one up ahead."

"Even if what you're saying is true, we have our orders. And I'm not about to let some kids do my job."

Wes stepped forward. "So, it's not about protecting anyone. You just won't let us through because you're afraid we'll embarrass you? That we'll do what you clearly can't?"

"Watch your tone, punk!" one of the men threatened.

"This "kids" have defeated every one of these enemies they encountered since we got here. What have you lot done besides standing around here? Is their age really an excuse to look down on them when your powerless to these Digimon compared to them? Or is your pride just so important to you, you don't want to risk being proven wrong to them?"

"I don't have time for this." The leader said. "Leave now or we will make you do so by force!"

Wes reached for Heatran's Pokeball. "Then we are at an impasse."

"Wes!" Michael yelled. "Let's not get hasty here!"

Suddenly a radio sound was heard. "This is the Minister of Defense, do you read me?"

The leader of the squad picked up his radio. "Sir! Sorry, I got my hands full right now. These kids are trying to make me think the creature on the bridge is one of those EDEN toys and-

"Digimon. I know. I sent them there."

"…Sir, what did you just say?"

"I've seen what those children and their Digimon can do. And they told me their story. As much as I hate to admit it, we're powerless in the face of this new threat. They may be the only ones who can save our country from this menace. Let them through."

"But we can't just leave a state-wide threat up to a bunch of kids and their digital pets!"

"These "kids" saved a lot of lives with their "digital pets" and even now their friends are using Digimon to protect our land. None of our previous attempts were successful, but they found a way to fight this threat. They earned my trust. They are our only hope, so we must put our faith in them."

"Sir, with all due respect I can't-

"Perhaps I didn't make something clear. That is an order lieutenant!"

The man shuddered. "U-understood."

One of the other men looked at him as he put his radio away. "Sir?"

"Let them through."

"What?!"

"You heard me. Those are our orders." They stepped aside. The leader looked at the team. "I just pray you all know what you're getting yourselves into and what you're doing."

"We won't let you down." Ben replied. "Come on guys, let's go!" They all hurried on to the bridge.

Once the army was out of hearing range Kate looked at Blade. "Did Arceus make that happen? What did he do?"

"Your guess is as good as mine. All I know is that master gave us a chance and we will not fail."

In his office the Minister of Defense put down his phone. His eyes were glowing gold, and the humanoid Arceus stood behind him. "That takes care of that." Arceus said.

The door opened and two men with shades and suits came in. "Sir, reports in Shibuya say- They stopped when they saw Arceus and took out their weapons. "Who are you!?"

"How did you get in here?!" the other man shouted.

Arceus faced them and held out a hand. Its eyes glowed and the men froze. Their eyes turned gold under their sunglasses. "The Minister of Defense is in the middle of important business."

The men lowered their weapons. "Yes…"

"You two should guard the door and make sure nobody disturbs him."

"Agreed..." They walked out and closed the door behind him.

Arceus sighed. "I can't say I'm too proud of myself for stooping to the same cowardly tactics as Sabios. But situations like this require that we all bend to avoid breaking." He looked out the window. "Ben…everyone…I leave the rest in your hands."

As the team approached the center of the bridge, Noir stopped them. "Wait." He looked around. "I can sense him. He's here."

Everyone looked around. "Where?" Sven asked. "I don't see anything."

Noir flew high above. "Transcendent Cannon!" He fired into the sea below the bridge. Shortly after there was a rumble.

Wendy shrieked. "W-what's happening?!"

Alphamon stood ready. "Here it comes."

"ZZZZZZ-DDDDD-AAAAA!" BoltboutamonZ rose out of the water, roaring as it glared down at the human on the bridge.

"Just like when were fought Arcadiamon here." Keisuke muttered. "Only this time we don' have Eaters to slow this thing down."

"But we'll crush it just like Arcadiamon without them!" Hudiemon said.

"That's right!" Michael said. "We're all here! So, let's end this once and for all!"

Rapidmon Armor and Rosemon Burst Mode took flight first. When they approached BoltboutamonZ, its eyes flashed red, and an explosion set off in front of them that knocked them back. When they recovered, they saw its eyes glow again and flew to the side, dodging explosions that trailed behind them. Latios and Latias rammed into its face making it shift its attention to them. It shot lasers from its hands at them. Then a splash of water hit it in the face, and it looked down at Keldeo. BoltboutamonZ screeched and dark shadows rose around the humans forming more Myotismon and Piedmon.

"Oh, great." Lunick muttered. "Here we go again."

"Ben, Summer, lead half the group against BoltboutamonZ." Blade said. "The rest of us will take these clones."

Ben nodded as he, Summer and Pichu got on his partner's Staraptor. "Takumi, Ami, Keisuke, Wes, Michael, Kyoko, Nokia, Shoma, let's go!"

The Trainers and Tamers nodded. As Michael and Wes got on Lugia and Ho-oh, Kyoko held up her Digivice and Alphamon transformed to her Ouryuken form. They all got on their Digimon and flew off. "Black Rain!" Arata's Digimon fired a black spark from its pack that made it rain a dark substance making the enemy pause.

"Hyper Infinity Cannon."

"Final Shining Burst!" ShineGreymon Burst Mode and Chaosdramon attacked alongside each other.

Meanwhile, Takumi and his portion flew high enough to be at eye level with BoltboutamonZ. "Here we go!"

"Supreme Cannon!" Omnimon fired at the beat, but the attack barley did anything to him. It swiped at him, and he flew back to evade.

"Supreme Sword!" Noir flew towards BoltboutamonZ but one of its massive hands knocked him towards the water. Rosemon Burst Mode coiled her whip around him before he could make a splash.

"Are you okay Shoma?" Ami asked.

The Tamer adjusted his grip on his partner. "I'm fine, thanks Shi-Ami." He corrected himself nearly confusing her for someone he knew.

"Shining Laser!" Rapidmon fired repeatedly at it. Some small holes were made on Boltboutamonz's body, but almost immediately it healed up.

"Oh great. Of course, it can heal itself." Takumi muttered.

"We Digimon and Pokemon do tend to heal faster than humans." Alphamon said. "But BoltboutamonZ's durability combined with that seems to make weaker attacks a waste of our energy. If we're going to do any significate damage, something it likely won't heal from, we need to hit it as hard as possible."

"One hard hit coming up! Lugia, Psycho Boost!" Michael's lent Pokemon roared and unleashed a psychic attack, injuring it.

"Ho-oh, Solarbeam!" Wes ordered. His lent Pokemon shot a golden laser that pushed BoltboutamonZ back.

"Latios, now! Luster Purge!"

"Latias, Mist Ball!" The two Eon Pokemon attacked together putting a hole in i's shoulder.

"Now!" Kyoko said.

"Ultimate Ouryuken!" Alphamon slashed into the monster further deepening its injury. "TyrantKabuterimon, I'll take care of Keisuke."

"Right!" The bug Digimon flew over and let Keisuke jump over to Alphamon. Once Alphamon moved, TyrantKabuterimon flew up to BoltboutamonZ "Shine of Bee!" He unleashed a bright explosion damaging it further.

"It's working!" Keisuke said. "Let's push forward and win this!"

"Wait, look!" Wes pointed at BoltboutamonZ's wound. It quickly closed up and roared as it was healed.

"It regenerated from that too?!" Ami asked.

"How are we supposed to stop it if any damage we can do will just be instantly healed?!" Michael asked.

"The only thing I can think of is reducing it to atoms so it cannot regenerate." Alphamon said. "But it will require an incredible amount of power. Probably more than I can muster alone."

"We can't!" Ben shouted. "We'll destroy Zygarde!"

"Ben's right, there has to be another way!" Summer added.

BoltboutamonZ started firing lasers that hit Mega Blaziken, Blastoise and Gallade so hard they were knocked out of their Mega Evolutions and Zanbamon, PileVolcamon and MetalSeadramon were knocked into Rookie status. "No!" Blue Eyes shouted.

Red Eyes growled. Blade grimaced. "That power is just absurd! How do we stop something like this?!"

At first the team had to dodge, but after a couple of seconds it didn't even seem like it was aiming for them, but rather firing wildly. "It's on a frenzy!" Wes yelled. "At this rate, it'll tear this entire city apart!"

"Hey, guys!" The looked down to see Yu waving his arms. "Mirei's here and she has something to tell us!" Sure, enough Mirei was standing nearby with Mastemon at her side.

The Digimon and Pokemon landed on the bridge. Takumi and the humans ridding them came down. "You guys keep it from destroying everything." Rapidmon nodded before he flew back up with the other Digimon and Pokemon joining him. Those who couldn't fly shot at Boltboutamon Z from the ground. Hudiemon stayed with the humans. "You got some info for us Mirei?" Takumi asked.

"Don't I always? I helped your friends from your world get in contact with someone who might be able to shed some light on Zygarde." She typed on her laptop. "Professor Hastings, do you hear me?"

Everyone looked at her laptop. Professor Hastings was there. "Greetings everyone. Since arriving to this lab, I've been looking into Zygarde to see if I could find anything can help. And thanks to Mirei I was able to get in touch with a friend of yours from Zygarde's home region. I'll patch you through."

The screen changed and showed a familiar girl's face. "Hello? Can everyone hear me?"

"Emma!" Ami smiled.

"Emma, is that you?" Summer asked.

"Hi everyone! The professor told me everything. Summer! I'm so glad you and Ben are alright!"

"Thanks to you guiding our friends in the right direction, kid." Ben replied.

Another roar and Red Eyes looked up at the rampaging BoltboutamonZ before turning back to the laptop. "I hate to cut your reunion short, but we're kind of in a hurry here."

"Right." Arata nodded. "You got something to share with us Emma?"

"Yeah. See, my friend, the Champion of Kalos knows the Professor of this region well, so I was able to meet him. His lab is in Lumiose Ciy, just like the Looker Bureau after all. So, when Professor Hastings asked me for info on Zygarde I went straight to him for advice." She looked away from the screen. "Professor Sycamore! I got my friends here!"

A man with black hair and a lab coat over a blue top walked over to the monitor's view. "Hello there! I'm Professor Sycamore. I'm in charge of Pokemon research in Kalos."

"Professor, Zygarde was forcefully merged with Boltboutamon and now it's running amok!" Rand said. "We don't want to destroy Zygarde, and even if we did, it's just regenerating any damage we can dish out to it. Any ideas?"

"Hmm…" The professor of Kalos thought for a moment. "I might have an idea…But I should warn you I have no idea what the chances of it succeeding are."

"Let's hear it." Michael said.

"I have a couple assistants who went to Alola to do some research on Zygarde for me. From their reports, Zygarde is a Pokemon made up of many parts we call Zygarde Cells and Zygarde Cores. These cores and cells are what make up its form. The cores seem to be the important factor, and try to keep as many cells attached to them as possible."

"And that's how it's regenerating?" Rui asked.

"Most possibly. The cores are probably pulling its cells back together. However, like I said the cores try to stay with as many cells as possible. So, if you manage to tear a large majority of the cells off Boltboutamon, the cores might go to that removed mass and any remaining cells will follow, effectively separating Zygarde from this "Boltboutamon"."

"That does seem possible." Mirei said. "Though Boltboutamon merged with Zygarde, it shouldn't have the means to infiltrating pure organisms like cells or cores. It's more like he's wearing Zygarde like a suit."

"Wait…so you're saying we need to hit it so hard we blow most of Zeygarde off of Boltboutamon?!" Keisuke asked. "That sounds extremely dangerous, how can we be so sure the cells and cores will survive?!"

"We cannot. What I do know is this: Judging by how little damage even Alphamon can do to BoltboutamonZ you will need to hit with a force far stronger then Alphamon herself."

"Oh, is that all?" Arata asked sarcastically. "And what exactly does that leave us with, none of our Digimon on their own can match her full power."

"On their own…" Takumi muttered.

"Is this even the best option?" Ami asked. "I just don't want to destroy Zygarde."

"Well, it's not like you can Connect Jump into BoltboutamonZ." Chitose said. "You're in your physical bodies now."

Takumi was still in deep thought considering the option that came into his head while the others debated the ethics of Professor Sycamore's suggestion. Suddenly, TyrantKabuterimon was knocked onto the bridge. "Hey, are you okay?!" Keisuke asked.

The Digimon sat up. "Oof. Yeah, but this thing packs a heck of a punch! If we don't do something soon, we're done for!"

Takumi took a deep breath and steeled his resolve. "Rapidmon, come down here!"

Rapidmon Armor flew down to him. "Do we have a plan?"

"We do. I want you to revert into your In-Training form. And TyrantKabuterimon, I need you to revert back to Tentomon."

Everyone looked at Takumi. "What?" Ben asked.

"Kid this thing has all our Digimon outmatched, and you want them to power down?!" Blue Eyes asked. "Have you lost your mind?!"

"What are you planning, Takumi?" Keisuke asked worried.

"DNA Digivolution." Takumi grinned at him. "It's time to bust out Imperialdramon."

Keisuke gasped. "What?"

Hudiemon smiled. "Of course!"

"Imperialdramon?" Michael asked. "What's that?"

"You mean the Digimon you two used during our fight with Eternalmon?" Ben asked.

"Wait a second." Shoma said. "Your Digimon can merge with Arata's and Keisuke's?"

"That's an excellent idea!" Blade smiled. "That Digimon could even overpower Master Arceus!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a minute!" Nokia said. "Takumi, are you seriously considering this crazy suggestion of blasting Zygarde off of Boltboutamon?! With Imperialdramon no less!?"

"I don't like it anymore then you do, but face it, it's the only option we've got and every second we waste puts more and more people and Digimon at risk." Takumi said. "Don't forget, those clones won't stop attacking until we defeat Boltboutamon."

"He has a point." Kyoko said. "And Imperialdramon is the only option we have that can eclipse Alphamon in power."

Mirei nodded. "A Digimon becomes more powerful by bonding with a human. But a combination of two Digimon that have bonded with two different humans would not just combine but multiply their powers. But judging by the sturdiness of BoltboutamonZ you'd still have to fight with all of its power. It's risky to Zygarde, but I see no alternative."

"I don't know about this, guys…" Rand sighed.

Emma spoke up from Mirei's laptop. "Doggedly and with all my might, exabit endurance like a hard black iron." Everyone looked back at the laptop. "Er, did I say it right? That's the Cyber Sleuth moto, isn't it?"

"You did." Ami smiled. "And she's right. We can't afford to hesitate."

"I guess not. It's not like worrying ever did us any favors." Ryuji said.

"I still don't know how you can be so confident about this…" Nokia murmured.

"It's something you taught me Nokia." Takumi said as he put his goggles. "Put your heart into what you do, and you can make everything work out. Trust Imperialdramon. Trust Keisuke and me."

"Tak…You're right! You can do this!"

"…Yeah." Keisuke put on his visor. "I guess you're right."

"Professor, Emma, thank you." Ben smiled.

"Glad I could help." Professor Sycamore replied. "I wish all of you good luck."

"Ben, Summer, come back to our world safely! And Takumi, Ami, Date, I hope we can meet again someday! Maybe by then we'll be grown up into detectives of Kyoko, Matayoshi, and Mr. Looker's caliber!"

"I'm looking forward to it." Ami smiled.

Date grinned. "Keep your head held high kiddo."

Mirei ended the chat and worked on her laptop. "Ami, Nokia, Mastemon and I are going to require Rosemon Burst Mode and Omnimon."

"Huh? What for?" Ami asked.

"If Takumi and Keisuke's combined Digimon can't do the job, we're going to need a plan B. Once preparations are finished, I'll also need Alphamon and the Enforcer's help with something to deal with Boltboutamon once we separate him from Zygarde."

"Then let's get started." Hudiemon walked over to Takumi and Keisuke. "What we're about to do will likely draw BoltboutamonZ's attention. The rest of you keep it off our backs for as long as you can."

Ami nodded. "Rosemon! Omnimon! We need you down here! The rest of you keep fighting!" As Rosemon Burst Mode and Omnimon returned, Rapidmon Armor reverted to Nyaromon and TyrantKabuterimon reverted to Tentomon.

DIGIVOLUTION

"Nyaromon Warp Digivolve to…ExVeemon!"

"Tentomon Digivolve to…Stingmon!"

Hudiemon took Keisuke's hand in one of hers and Takumi's in the other and put them together. The boys closed their eyes and royal blue aura surged around them. Meanwhile, Noir opened his cannon again. "Transcendent Cannon!" He fired a blast that BoltboutamonZ easily deflected. "Supreme Sword!" He charged at it with his blade next only to get batted away and sent flying into the distance.

"Noir!" Shoma shouted as his partner was flung out of sight.

"Soul Digitalization!" Alphamon fired green blasts that exploded on its back. It swung at her, but she flew up in time to evade. TigerVespamon charged at it but was swatted into the water. The royal blue aura around Takumi and Keisuke grew brighter as their eyes became that color.

DNA DIGIVOLUTION

"ExVeemon!"

"Stingmon!"

"DNA Digivolve to…Paildramon!"

BoltboutamonZ noticed the glow emanating from the new Digimon and snarled. It fired a red laser at it, but and Justimon and ShineGreymon Burst Mode flew in and shielded Paildramon with their bodies before getting blasted to the bridge. "Destroyed Hook." Choasomon fired a drill at it, but it bounced off.

"Ultimate Flare!" Armageddemon shot at the goliath, as Vikemon threw his Morning Start at it, but it batted the attacks aside and as it's eyes glowed as stalagmite rose from the sea, piercing the bridge and flipping Chaosdramon, Vikemon, and Armageddemon on their backs. Lugia and Ho-oh slammed into it from the left and right but it pushed both of them off into the water.

"He's after you now, hurry!" Arata yelled. Takumi and Keisuke's shared aura glowed brighter.

DIGIVOLUTION

"Paildramon Digivolve to…Imperialdramon!" The massive Mega Digimon appeared over the water in front of the bridge.

BoltboutamonZ's eyes glowed as they fired beams at Imperialdramon. But Kerpymon, MarineAngemon, Mega Latios and Mega Latias formed a barrier that shielded him. Annoyed, the wild Pokemon lifted its arm up and swung down, knocking them into the sea. "Morning Dance!" Ravemon Burst Mode pelted it repeatedly with hits as Keldeo shot another Hydro Pump at it, but BoltboutamonZ's eyes flashed, and an explosion blasted Ravemon out of the sky making him fall on Keldeo.

It then noticed the boys glowing brighter and fired a crimson Hyper Beam. "Takumi, Keisuke, look out!" Rand shouted.

Takumi and Keisuke braced themselves. At the last moment, Alphamon appeared next to Hudiemon and the two of them created a powerful shield in front of them. But it wasn't long before their barriers started cracking. They nodded to each other before turning around and shielded Takumi and Keisuke with their own bodies just as their barrier was destroyed. "ALPHAMON!" Takumi shouted.

Keisuke was blinded by the red light. "ERIKA!"

When it was over, Alphamon dropped to her hands and knees and Hudiemon collapsed to the ground. Takumi and Keisuke ran over to them. "Are you alright?!" Takumi asked.

Keisuke kneeled down and lifted Hudiemon into a sitting position. "Are you crazy, why did you do that?!"

Hudiemon grunted. "Well, I wasn't about to let you get blasted. Face it we all know how frail you are."

Alphamon looked up at Takumi. "As long as you young heroes stand there is a chance to turn this in our favor. You are our beacon of hope."

"Alphamon…"

"Erika…"

Alphamon looked into Takumi's eyes. "Don't worry, we're fine. You two know what you must do. Bring out Imperialdramon's true power. Free Zygarde from Boltboutamon and save this world."

Hudiemon smiled. "Yeah. I just took a heck of a blow for you two, so you better not mess this one up."

Takumi smiled. "Okay. You guys all did your part." He said looking at his friends around him. "Now we'll prove your faith in us isn't misplaced."

"…Yeah. We got this. You rest up." Keisuke put Hudiemon gently onto the ground.

MODE CHANGE

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Takumi and Keisuke's royal blue aura glowed shining brightly and blinding those around them. BoltboutamonZ winched as it shielded its eyes from the light.

Imperialdramon glowed blue as a sphere of light formed around him. Electricity crackled around it as it grew. It exploded into a thousand pieces as it burst out in a new form. "…Imperialdramon…FIGHTER MODE!" A Digimon as tall as BoltboutamonZ now stood in the water facing it. Glowing blue, waves rocking around his feet, he stood ready to face this demon.

All eyes were on him as Digimon in the water came back up as Noir returned. Those on the ground also looked up at the incredible Digimon. "Amazing…" Michael said in awe.

"That Digimon…could it even be stronger than those two tamers?" Shoma murmured.

"Speaking of those two Tamers." Mirei whispered as she worked on her laptop. She glanced at Ami's Rosemon Burst Mode and Nokia's Omnimon. "Since these two have the same Digimon as them, if I can establish a link, I should be able to get them over here. If all else fails, you two will be this world's last hope."

Keisuke lifted his visor. "This ends right here Malevolent Fist!"

Takumi lifted his googles. "We will free you from your suffering Zygarde!" Imperialdramon got into a fighting stance. BoltboutamonZ roared and the and fired a red sphere at him, but he deflected it with his hand, and it flew behind the bridge before exploding it the water. He then charged forward and punched BoltboutamonZ in the face. While it stumbled back, he spun repeatedly while ascending and kicked him hard. After sliding back, BoltboutamonZ stampeded towards Imperialdramon. He caught the beast's hands but slid back on his feet as they grappled. Imperialdramon managed to stop himself just as he was about to crash into the bridge. Everyone panicked as it looked like he was about to be pushed into them. "Push him back!" Takumi said.

Imperialdramon leaned back and headbutted BoltboutamonZ to make it back away from him. "Mach Rush!" He rammed into BoltboutamonZ knocking it a good distance.

"Good! Keep up the pressure!" Keisuke said. Imperialdramon spread his wings and took flight.

BoltboutamonZ screeched and summoned stalagmites out of the ocean. Imperialdramon spun, zipped, and maneuvered around all of them. When he got close, a large one was summoned in front of him, but he charged through, and it crumbled to pieces. "ATTACK!" Takumi and Keisuke shouted.

A sword of light manifested from his gauntlet. "Splendor Blade!" He uppercutted BoltboutamonZ so hard it went flying high into the sky. Imperialdramon withdrew the blade and flew up with incredible speed. He waited high above BoltboutamonZ before it reached him and spun forward. "Dragon Kick!" He slammed his heel into its head, and it flew back into the water even faster than it flew up.

The impact sent a huge wave towards the bridge. "Lugia!" On Michael's command the legendary Pokemon summoned a tornado that sucked up the wave's water before dissipating. Imperialdramon had his arms crossed as he descended back to the ground.

Everyone watched in amazement. "He's so strong!" Rui said.

Mirei looked at Imperialdramon. "This power exceeds even my predictions. Keisuke and the Cyber Sleuths indeed have great ability." Imperialdramon stared at the water where his opponent landed waiting for him to resurface. Then BoltboutamonZ rose up and grappled with him again before throwing him into the water. It pinned Imperialdramon to the sea floor before he kicked his legs into its face so hard it went flying out of the water. Imperialdramon resurfaced a good distance away.

BoltboutamonZ drew a sword of red light from its hand and charged at Imperialdramon. "Focus on blocking and search for an opening!" Takumi said. Imperialdramon blocked the fury of swipes with his gauntlets before punching BoltboutamonZ in the chest making it back away.

BoltboutamonZ unleashed a red Thousand Arrows, firing beams everywhere. Imperialdramon flew to the side and dodged them while gathering power in his hand. "Sonic Void!" He threw his attack into the enemy knocking it out of its Thousand Arrows before stopping and dashing into it. He punched it with its clawed gauntlet, kicked it in the torso then shoulder charged it.

"That's it! Keep it up!" Keisuke said as it went flying.

Imperialdramon flew after the launched BoltboutamonZ and punched it with his left fist flinging it further before catching up again and punching with his right fist this time, knocking it upward. He raced up to it, grabbed its tail roared as he threw it downward. He raced to the water before BoltboutamonZ could and kneed it hard in the back before kicking upward back into the air. He raced into the air and once it flew to him, he hammered his arms into its back sending it a good distance from the bridge. "Positron Laser!" He fired a beam that pushed it into the water.

"Did that do it?" Ami asked.

Boltboutamon Z rose out of the water and the hole in its chest regenerated. "Not even that?!" Keith asked. "Man, he's tough!"

"ZZZZZZ-DDDDD-AAAAA!" Red lightning cackled around BoltboutamonZ as it rose up and a red sphere charged in front of it.

"No! That much power could wipe out the entire city!" Noir yelled.

Takumi turned to Keisuke. "We can't let that happen. Let's show him what we're made up!"

"Imperialdramon! Full power!" Keisuke shouted.

Imperialdramon chest opened, and a cannon appeared. He held it in both hands as blue light poured into it as Takumi and Keisuke's Digivices glowed. The sphere in front of BoltboutamonZ grew bigger and bigger. And then it unleashed an insanely powerful Core Enforcer down towards Imperialdramon. "NOW!" Takumi and Keisuke shouted.

"Giga Crusher!" Imperialdramon fired a golden beam towards BoltboutamonZ's.

Red and gold light clashed as their beams struggled against each other. But Imperialdramon's was slowly pushing forward. Until BoltboutamonZ screeched and its Core Enforcer grew pushing the Giga Crusher back. "Imperialdramon don't give up!" Keisuke shouted.

"We're with you until the end!" Takumi added.

"So are we!" Ben stepped forward and his Styler glowed. "Huh?"

Ami noticed her Digivice was glowing blue. So were the Digivices and Stylers of everyone else around her. "Everyone, raise your Stylers and Digivices!" Mirei said. "You determination will strengthen Imperialdramon!"

As everyone held up their gadgets, the cannon on Imperialdramon's arm glowed blue with light from everyone's Stylers and Digivices. He aimed it at BoltboutamonZ. "SUPREME POSITRON LASER!"

He fired a powerful bolt that joined his Giga Crusher. The combined beam started pushing the Core Enforcer back. BoltboutamonZ's attack was completely overpowered, and it was consumed in the light.

The end of the story is swiftly approaching folks. Stay tuned to see what happens next week.
