The sun rose over the resort showed the day of the final battle was arriving as the heroes and heroines all stood outside, all prepared for what was to come.
"You guys feel that?" Tagiru then asked.
"Yeah. Seems the gate from the DigiQuartz is opening." Mikey said in reply, making Shoutmon nod and add. "It's the return of Quartzmon."
"Look like it's fighting time." Marcus commented, making his Agumon nod in reply.
"And there is no doubt that he'll be heading towards Koji and the others." Takuya said.
"Once we defeat him and seal him away, we should be able to save our worlds." Takato said, hoping to stop Quartzmon before any of their friends were harmed.
"And then everything should return to normal." TK said.
"So, is this all do or defeat?" Davis asked, knowing the risks he, Veemon and the others were taking, but was determined to stop Quartzmon and his madness.
Tai looked at his allies and friends, and acting like a true leader he said. "If we do, then it will be in battle. Let's settle this once and for all."
Inspired by Tai, the group all nodded as they then reached for their D-Destines.
"I think it should be all wise if we can get them to digivolve to their Megas. Let's do this." Tai then added, making everyone, including the heroines nod at Tai's suggestion.
"Digi Hero Charge! Warp Hero Digivolution!"
"Digi Maiden Charge! Warp Maiden Digivolution!"
"Agumon Warp Digivolve to..." Agumon called out as he leapt backwards before using his sword of courage to create a huge symbol of Courage that he then leapt into, creating a curtain of flames.
Emerging from the flames, he appeared as a different version of WarGreymon, for he no longer wore his helmet, his face clearly seen and he still had his red hair.
He wore a long, orange overcoat with the Crest of Courage of it, as well as wearing his old armour, only his Brave Shield was now on his right arm, not his back, while he held his sword in his left claw.
"WarGreymon: Hero Mode!"
"Biyomon warp digivolve to..." Biyomon started to announce as she spun her staff around, creating many phoenix feathers that blew around her and consumed her form.
After a moment, the feathers blew away, revealing Biyomon taken the form of an anthro version of Phoenixmon, who was wearing a long pink dress with a crest of Love on her back, while she held the staff of love proudly and called out. "Phoenixmon: Maiden Mode!"
"Patamon warp digivolve to..." Patamon called as he held his Blade of Hope in the air, causing a huge light to shine down upon him.
As the light remained, Patamon then emerged, stepping forward as Seraphimon, but now had more wings and wielded the Blade of Hope proudly.
"Seraphimon: Hero Mode!"
"Gatomon Warp Digivolve to..." Gatomon called out as she twirled her staff of Light, letting it into the air, which caused it to keep spinning, while a rainbow light rained down on her.
Emerging from the light as a being similar to Ophanimon, only now she had bright, pink coloured armour and her staff of Light grew to her size.
"Ophanimon: Maiden Mode!"
"Veemon Warp Digivolve to..." Veemon began to say, achieving his own Mega form as he stabbed his Rapier into the ground, creating a tornado of flames, water and light around him, while the images of Hawkmon, Armadillomon and Wormmon were spotted around his form.
He then emerged as a different form of Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, to which his armour was blue and red and he held both his Rapier of Miracles and the sword he used when in Paladin mode, his Omni Sword.
"Imperialdramon: Hero Mode!"
"AquaVeemon warp digivolve to..." AquaVeemon called out as she covered herself in a curtain of water before emerging to what looked like a female version of Flamedramon.
However, her form was different compared to Veemon's, for she had long, turquoise hair, a small bikini top, a long, white skirt and held her V Staff in her right hand.
"EmpressVeemon: Maiden Mode!"
"Guilmon Warp Digivolve to..." Guilmon called out, he too spun his blade into the air, causing a rain of fire to fall around him, before his form began to take change.
He then emerged, almost looking like Gallantmon, expect he wasn't wearing a helmet but a brown eye mask, the same colour as his scarf.
He wore Gallantmon's cape and top armour, but now wore a pair of baggy trousers.
He still had his lance in one of his arms, before grabbing the Blade of Hazard in the other and calling out in a strong voice. "Gallantmon: Hero Mode!"
"Renamon Warp Digivolve to..." Renamon began to say as she allowed her staff to float in the air, causing water and spirits to cover her form.
As she emerged, she looked completely different.
While Renamon maintianed her foxy appearance, she now wore Sakuyamon's golden bra/top, while the black latex beneath it stretched down, covering her arms.
Long, golden hair flowed down her back, while a golden eye mask covered her face and a almost revealing gold colored mini skirt adorned her legs.
She had many tails, which swayed around proudly.
And as she held both her Yin/Yang Staff with one hand and Sakuyamon's staff with the other, she called out. "Sakuyamon: Maiden Mode!"
"Flamon Warp Digivolve to..." Flamon called out as he twirled around, while spinning his daggers, creating a huge tornado of flame around him.
He then emerged, his form similar to EmperorGreymon, only now, he wore lighter armour and held the Daggers in both hands. "EmperorGreymon: Hero Mode!"
"Kazemon Warp Digivolve to…." Kazemon called as she powered up by a tornado surrounds her.
Zephyrmon appeared from it afterwards, only she now had no face mask, showing off her blue and beautiful lips, while four wings, not two had grown from her back, making her call proudly "Zephyrmon: Maiden Mode!"
"Agumon Warp Digivolve to..." DATS Agumon announced as he slashed his sword in front of him, which caused a blast of orange energy to cover him, similar to the energy he used in a DNA Charge, before he emerged, his form similar to ShineGreymon: Burst Mode, only this form had huge flame-like wings emerged from his back, his armour looked more like a samurai's, while he held his sword in both hands, like a samurai.
"ShineGreymon: Hero Mode!"
Rhythm then twirled her staff to help Lalamon, who called out 'Lalamon digivolve to...' before she was covered with rose petals.
As the rose petals broke away, it revealed Lalamon had transformed, changing form to Rosemon: Burst Mode.
But while her cloak remained pink, the other parts of her clothing had changed from white and black to gold and silver.
"Rosemon: Maiden Mode!"
"Shoutmon Warp Digivolve to..." Shoutmon announced, causing a gold light to radiate from his body, which then consumed him entirely, before he emerged as OmniShoutmon, however, he now wore a golden cape around his neck, which displayed the emblem of the Fusion Fighters proudly on it, while he wielded the Sword of Star in his right hand.
"OmniShoutmon: Hero Mode!" He called, giving the sword a powerful swipe.
"Lunamon Warp Digivolve to..." Lunamon called out, her tone full of determination, as a full moon appeared above her, bathing her form in light.
Dispelling the light with her Staff of Luna, Lunamon emerged, only now she wore silver coloured armour and wore a helmet similar to that of OmniShoutmon's, making her call out. "MoonLunamon: Maiden Mode!"
"Gumdramon Warp Digivolve to..." Gumdramon announced as he rose his hammer high into the air and then slammed it down, creating a huge light to appear from beneath and surround him.
Arresterdramon Superior Mode then emerged, only his black armour had turned white, his chest plate had turned the colour of gold and he held his Superstar hammer in his hands, looking like he was prepared to smash an evil that stood in his way.
"Arresterdramon: Hero Mode!" He yelled.
With their transformations now done, they stood before their partners, leaving them all amazed.
"Wow, Sakuyamon, you sure look different without me Bio Merging with you." Rika commented, smiling at how powerful her Digimon partner had become, making Sakuyamon smile back.
"Alright, shall we go?" Sora asked Tai, who nodded in reply as he looked into the distance, ready to save his friends and defeat Quartzmon.
-Meanwhile-
"Strange. The girls are not on the surface. Now we lost them, as well as Takuya and the others." JP said, before he stated as he collapsed to the ground, exhausted. "And I cannot take another step."
"C'mon JP, we don't have time to rest." Tommy said.
"We must find our friends." Mimi added.
While the humans were in agreement with finding their missing friends, they then noticed their Digimon, all of them glaring before them.
Worried about them, Matt asked. "Gabumon, what's wrong?"
"Matt, we've got trouble." Gabumon replied in a serious tone.
And before either human or Digimon could react, the ground in front of them began to open up and a great surge of darkness to shoot out of it.
Nervous and panicky, Joe asked. "What's happening?"
"This happened before." Christopher said, remembering a similar occurrence, making the blond then say. "But it can't be."
From the darkness, the minions born from Quartzmon emerged and rose in front of the Digimon, showing no emotion, other than rage and a desire to destroy.
"Those were once Digimon, but what happened to them?" Gaomon questioned, sensing something was wrong with them, before things took another dark turn, shocking the group, but most of all the Fusion Fighters as a huge being emerged from the ground, a familiar evil which they thought they'd never see again.
"Quartzmon!" Jeremy, Christopher, Ballistamon, Dorulumon and Cutemon all called together in shock and alarm.
Hearing their shock at seeing the twisted Digimon, Thomas asked. "You know that thing?"
Christopher nodded, before he explained. "We all fought this freak in the past. After Tagiru and Arresterdramon managed to destroy his core, he lost all his power and was turned back into a Digi-Egg."
"But how did he return?" Jeremy asked, worried, a question that everyone wondered.
Quartzmon then opened his eyes and saw his enemies before him, to which he stared down at them and said. "Well, isn't this one fine reunion?"
"Quartzmon, what are you're doing here? Arresterdramon defeated you!" Dorulumon snarled.
"It's very simple. What he actually caught was fake Data that I left behind, while I retreated." Quartzmon cackled, shocking the Fusion Fighters and causing Yuu to question. "You what!?"
"Let's say I cheated death. Anyway, after my latest defeat, I retreated back to the DigiQuartz, burning in rage, plotting revenge on all those who stood against me. Then I realised most of them came from other worlds, which is when I came up with the idea to merge all your worlds together, to rebuild a new world in my image!"
"So you're the one behind all of this!?" Ken questioned, angered by the Digimon and his insane idea.
"Exactly. Without your precious Digivolutions, I will be unstoppable!" Quartzmon announced.
"And just what do you plan to accomplish from all of this?" Keenan spoke up in a demanding tone, while Kristy hid behind him.
"Simple. Once you and your other friends are out of the way and all your Digimon become a part of me, this world will become a new world, my world!" Quartzmon announced.
"We won't let you do that! Even without our powers or Digivolutions, we will still defy you and stop you!" Palmon said back as she and the other Digimon rushed to attack.
"No, wait! You all cannot win against him, not like this!" Koji called out in warning.
And he was right.
"Get them, my minions!" Quartzmon commanded, causing his minions to charge forward, before they all knocked the heroic Digimon back with great force, enough to defeat them all.
"Terriermon!" Henry called in concern, as Terriermon and the others struggled to get back up.
But due to their weakened bodies, they were having great trouble.
With the Digimon of five realities all down, Quartzmon stated. "Don't you fools see? You are powerless to stop me now!"
"Minions, grab their Digimon and bring them to me." He then ordered, placing his four hands onto his chest and pulling it open, revealing the countless trapped Digimon inside of him. "Their Data will become part of me!"
"You keep your dirty hands off them!" Izzy called out, but knew their chances of survival were not in their favour.
But as the minions were about to reach down to grab the fallen Digimon...
"Terra Blade!"
"Lightning Joust!"
All of Quartzmon's pawns were wiped out by a massive fire slash and lightning blasts, which wiped them all out, surprising everyone.
"Huh? Lightning Joust?" Impmon asked, knowing only one Digimon who performed that attack. "That means..."
Quartzmon snarled as he then looked up to see WarGreymon and Gallantmon in the air, alongside Phoenixmon, Imperdialmon, Sakuyamon, EmperessVeemon, Seraphimon and Ophanimon in the sky above him, before he looked around and watched as the Digimon landed in front of their astonished friends.
Upon seeing his friend, Gabumon managed to ask in surprise, stunned at his changes. "WarGreymon...?"
"Are you ok, Gabumon?" WarGreymon asked back in a serious tone, determined to keep his friends safe and decided to explain his alterations after Quartzmon had been defeated.
"Everyone, are you alright?" Phoenixmon then asked.
"Phoenixmon. You look different. So does WarGreymon." Gomamon gasped.
"Seraphimon? Ophanimon?" Asked Hawkmon upon seeing the pair, who nodded at him.
"It's good to see you guys." Ophanimon commented, smiling at her friends, before she turned back and faced Quartzmon.
"Imperdialmon? Then... is that you, Veemon?" Wormmon called out to the Imperdialmon, who had landed before him, who looked down at the Digimon of Kindness and replied. "Yeah, it's me, Wormmon."
The Tamers Digimon were also caught surprised by Gallantmon and Sakuyamon's new forms, making Terriermon ask, surprised. "Gallantmon? Sakuyamon?"
"Yes. It's us." Gallantmon said, before Sakuyamon added. "We may look different from the last time you saw us, but we can assure you we have never been better."
"Guys! Are you all ok?" TK asked, as he, Kari, Davis, Tai, Sora, Takato and Rika all ran towards them.
"TK! Tai!" Matt said as he ran over to them.
"Kari! Sora!" Yolei called out, glad and amazed to see her friends, as was Ken, who called out Davis' name upon seeing him, making the Digidestined of Miracles say in reply. "Sorry that we're late."
"Takato! Rika! You're both alright!" Suzie called happily, making Takato reply. "Sorry to worry you all."
"Hey, the important thing is you guys are here now." Kazu replied, before he added. "And that you're gonna kick that ugly Digimon's butt."
"You've got that right." Rika said, answering the question for Takato, just as EmperorGreymon, Zephyrmon, ShineGreymon, Rosemon, OmniShoutmon, MoonLunamon and Arresterdramon appeared, joining their allies and amazing the Legendary Warriors, DATS team and the Fusion Fighters.
"Wait... is that Takuya and Zoe?" Tommy asked, both in hope and amazement.
"No, they are Flamon and Kazemon. We're over here." Takuya called out, as he and Zoe appeared behind the Legendary Warriors.
"Takuya? Zoe? Then who's...?" Koichi questioned, confused as he looked at his friends and then at EmperorGreymon and Zephyrmon.
"Long story." Zoe replied.
While the Legendary Warriors were reunited, so too were the DATS team, making Kristy, who then saw three familiar characters appear behind them rush over.
"Marcus! Rhythm! Yoshi!" She called out, before she embraced Marcus, making him smile as he hugged her back.
"You're all alright!" Falcomon said.
"But how did you manage to Digivolve?" Thomas had to ask.
"We'll explain everything, but for now this menace needs to be taken down!" Marcus smirked, clenching his right hand into a fist, which he then slammed into his palm, making Thomas smile.
'Same old Marcus.'
"OmniShoutmon and Arresterdramon? And then that one must be...?" Dorulumon began to say, amazed and causing Cutemon to finish "Lunamon?"
"Is everyone ok?" Mikey asked as he, Angie, Tagiru and Nene rejoined their friends, who were glad to see them, but Jeremy questioned. "Mikey, guys! Where have you been?"
"We'll tell you after this battle." Mikey said, before he added. "I promise."
"So the guests of honour have appeared at last?" Quartzmon then asked, causing the Digi-Heroes, Digi-Maidens and their Digimon to glare at the mad Digimon.
"I didn't expect to see your Digimon Digivolve again." He commented and then went on. "You must have found those cursed Digi-Weapons and Digi-Staffs."
"I thought we were done with you for good!" Tagiru snarled.
"Cheating death and all that." Arresterdramon added, clenching his claws as he grasped his hammer tightly.
"You have no idea the humiliation I have endured." Quartzmon snarled, before he said. "Calling heroes from other worlds to aid your miserable hides!"
"Well you're the one trying to merge our worlds again! That's the reason why the Clock Shop Man called them." Angie called back.
"I have to take my revenge, that is what you don't get. I have to plan so much so I won't lose again. Having to put everything in effort was a first for me, Digi-Heroes. I will make sure you regret that too!" Quartzmon stated.
"You may be stronger than last time, that's for sure. But it's been a long time since we last fought and since you haven't noticed, we've gotten stronger too!" OmniShoutmon said back, his tone blazing with determination.
"The first time we met, I made so many mistakes and you caught me off guard. To make sure that won't happen again, I shall unleash all my power!" Quartzmon exclaimed, as he let out a powerful battlecry, gaining power from both the energy that remained in what was left of the DigiQuartz and the Digimon Data trapped in his being.
Most of the heroes looked shocked upon seeing this, while the Digi-Heroes and Digi-Maidens did their best to look and remain calm.
"This Quartzmon's no push over." Takuya said, sensing all the power that the twisted Digimon was gaining.
"Yeah, if he wasn't rotten to the core, he'd be an excellent sparring partner. What a waste of talent." Marcus commented.
"Hmph. That's the kind of talk that makes your existence more tolerable." Quartzmon said.
"Then let's stop talking and get this over with!" Takato said back.
"You will not merge our worlds. Your plans to create your twisted world end here!" Tai stated.
"You are nothing but mere ants in my way. I will deal with you first and then your pathetic friends." Quartzmon said. "Then all shall be mine!"
"Ants huh? Well be becareful cause these ants bite!" WarGreymon said back in reply as he and all the other Mega Digimon all got into their stance.
The final battle had arrived.
