Cross Generations

by Kanius

The series finale of Digimon Fusion Kai. When anomalies disrupt the ether universe known as the Nexus, generations of heroes from various dimensions converge for a new adventure and to find out the source of this new threat. An Ascendant and his friends also receive unexpected aid from a pink-haired Puella girl and her Lost Kingdom companions.

10. Tamers - Legendary Defenders

A/N: Yeah, I know. This chapter was supposed to be out last month, but my recent Italy trip set plans back. As a result, I ended up breaking an update per month quota.

However, this setback has allowed me time to plan for the next series of chapter. After this chapter, we segue way into the Dimension Mission arc finale. Consider this whole arc the first cour of Cross Generations. And never a cool way to transition into the arc's finale than releasing it in the new year.

So, come 2017, the Dimension Mission arc finale will be released as a multi-parter. I'm looking at 3 chapters (but plans could change).

Now, this chapter is a tribute to Digimon Tamers/Frontier (though mostly Tamers), but specifically the YuYuGiDigiMoon versions of the cast.

Not to bore you any further, on with this chapter!

Earth/Universe: MvC-96

(Cue Digimon Xros Wars - We Are Xros Heart! By Kouji Wada)

The first of many dimension missions took place in the Marvel vs. Capcom Universe. Wanting to one-up Tai, Metalla X volunteered to take this mission. Accompanied by his Keke, Metalla X and Keke co-led a group consisting of Kouji Minamoto, Thomas & Gaomon, Kiriha & Greymon, and Ryouma & Psychemon. United they became Team Lancer.

They met with the Marvel and Capcom heroes in order to eliminate the anomaly that evolved into an entity similar to the final boss, Abyss.

Keke, MagnaGarurumon, MirageGaogamon, ZekeGreymon, and Astamon blasted Abyss's massive frame.

"Matt!" Keke called out to her father, who flew above them with hands out and gathered Ki into his hands.

"Eat this, you ugly bastard!" Metalla X bellowed, unleashing his Final Blaze into the Abyss creature's mouth.

Upon swallowing Metalla X's attack, Abyss's body expanded in a balloon shape and exploded. As a countermeasure, the group coordinated attacks and took out Abyss's pieces, preventing the creature from regenerating.

"And take that!" MagnaGarurumon shouted.

"A well-calculated attack. Well done, my friends," Thomas praised their efforts.

"Not bad at all," Kiriha smirked coolly.

Powering down from Ascendant state, Keke turned and winked to Metalla X. "We did it, dad!"

"Yeah…" Metalla X grunted, watching the remains of Abyss dissolve. "Tai, wherever you and your group are, your experience can't be any better than this."

New World/Universe: OP-97

Taking a break from training Athena, Max joined BW and Pikkan on a mission into the One Piece world. They helped Luffy and his crew stop an anomaly creature that had morphed into a Sea King similar to the Kaijuu, Ebirah. The creature had already purged a few islands and stood in the way of the Straw Hat's next adventure.

After BW, Pikkan, and Luffy helped clobber the Ebirah-like anomaly creature, Max charged up and fired a full-powered Tsunami Wave, obliterating the monster. And with that, the world of the pirates was saved from a purge from the creature's miasma.

"And that takes care of that thing," Pikkan muttered. "I don't want to imagine what would happen had this thing continued its rampage."

"Purging a few islands was just the start. Its intent was to make this entire dimension cease spreading that foul miasma." Max said. "Had we not intervened, nothing would've stopped it. Even the strongest folks in this world wouldn't have been enough to destroy it."

"Thanks a lot, you guys!" Luffy cheerily called out to Max and his cohorts.

"Max, we really should going back," BW suggested.

"Yeah, we're done here and I've got to get back to supervising Athena's training," Max replied.

Space/Universe: DWG-07

Kensuke Rainer and his Digimon army entered the Dynasty Warrior: Gundam. For Ken, it was like a dream come true. Kensuke entering this dimension was ironic since his Ascendant forms are entirely Gundam-based.

As he shifted into Dramon X form, Kensuke briefly teamed with iconic Gundam heroes Amuro Ray, Domon Kasshu, Heero Yuy, Kira Yamato, and Setsuna F. Seiei. The dangerous that entered this dimension became the final boss and took on a form similar to the Knight Gundam.

With the other Gundam pilots' aid, Dramon X followed through and absorbed all the energy attacks from the anomalous Knight Gundam. He returned it back by quickly palming the Knight Gundam imposter's chest, controlling and then returning the energy he gathered into a blast that destroyed the anomaly.

Shortly after defeating the anomaly, Kensuke bid farewell to the legendary Gundam hero pilots as Sailor Sedna came to retrieve him.

"Had fun, brother?" Sedna winked.

"You have no idea," Kensuke replied with a brilliant smile. "So, what universe are we going now?"

"I think you'll find it to your liking."

Earth/Universe: DW-97

Team Xros Heart's dimension mission took them into the Dynasty Warriors/Samurai Warriors. They fought off a slew of anomalous creatures that combined into a giant creature. Taiki, Nene, Akari, and Zenjirou combined their partners (Shoutmon, Sparrowmon, Dorulumon, Ballistamon, Beelzebumon, and the Starmons) into Shoutmon X5B to slay the giant anomalous creature.

"Chalk this up as another win for Team Xros Heart, gang!" Taiki declared, giving a thumbs up.

"Yeah!" Shoutmon X5B roared in Shoutmon's predominant voice.

The World/Universe: OPM-09

Masaru and Agumon both fit right at home as they ventured into the One Punch Man dimension. Meeting with the One Punch Man, Masaru and Agumon were taken in by Saitama's strength.

When the anomaly of this dimension was discovered, the creature came out of hiding and morphed into several Kaijuu monsters. Despite gaining a seemingly sizable edge, the anomalous creatures had no idea what they were in for.

One punch later and one of the anomalous monsters was eliminated by Saitama's one hit punch. Another was taken down by Genos. Masaru and ShineGreymon Burst Mode took down the third and last one.

"Man, to think there's a guy who can kill with just one punch!" Masaru was elated to meet someone with a punch stronger than his own. "Looks like we've got plenty of training to do, ShineGreymon."

"Yep," ShineGreymon BM nodded.

"Hey, you're not bad, kid," Saitama acknowledged Masaru's fist strength.

"So, that's 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and 10km running?" Masaru mentally noted.

"Yep, follow that regiment every day and you'll be on my level."

"Sweet! Let's get on it when we get back, Agumon!"

ShineGreymon BM nodded. "Right, Aniki!"

A portal opened up as Ryo and Cyberdramon arrived to pick up Masaru and ShineGreymon BM.

Genos muttered. "Surely that won't for them and they'll just give up when they realize they're not you, master?"

Saitama shrugged. "Eh. It's up to them. Whether they go with it or not, doesn't bother me. "

Musutafu, Japan/Universe: MHA-14

Athena & PinkPatamon, Tike, Kara, David, and Meryl and her co-partners (BlackGatomon & Gatomon) were sent on a mission to the My Hero Academia dimension. The children entered to aid the U.A. heroes against an anomaly that grew into a monster.

Athena transformed into Sailor Arctic Sedna and evolved PinkPatamon into Andromedamon. Meryl evolved her co-partners into LadyDevimon and Angewomon. Tike, Kara, and David each went Ascendant mode.

Of the U.A. students that helped Athena and her crew was Izuku 'Deku' Midoriya, the successor of All Might and the One For All. Deku provided enough distraction to let Arctic Sedna, Tike, Kara, and David fire their attacks on the anomalous giant beast. Even at one point during the battle, Tike saved Meryl from collapsing debris, which earned him hero points in Meryl's eyes. It was during this battle that LadyDevimon and Angewomon Jogress Evolved into Mastemon.

The battle was ultimately decided after a combined effort from Deku's One For All, Andromedamon, and Mastemon. After the beast was defeated, the U.A. heroes invited Arctic Sedna and their friends to join, but they declined and offered to return if another anomalous invader attacked.

Arctic Sedna and her crew faced a portal. Sailor Sedna walked through to pick them up.

"Ready to go, kids?" Sedna asked.

"Yeah, I have to go back and train with Max!" Arctic Sedna said.

"Can you believe I can make Gatomon and BlackGatomon fuse, Tike?" Meryl turned to Tike, who nodded and chuckled happily. "Um, Tike?"

"...huh? Oh! Yeah, that was pretty cool, huh?" Tike grinned stupidly.

Both BlackGatomon and Gatomon rolled their eyes at the boy's ditzy response.

"Congrats on getting your partners to fuse, Meryl!" Arctic Sedna said.

"Thanks, Athena!"

David and Kara both exchanged smiles, not saying a word. They walked behind Tike and Meryl holding hands.

"Man, am I hungry?! All that fighting made me hungry!" Tike boasted loudly.

Meryl offered. "Maybe y'all can come to my place and our chefs can make something for us?"

"Sweet!"

Sedna giggled and whispered. "Ah, young love."

Metropolis/Universe-DCAU

The Tamers (Takato & Guilmon, Rika & Renamon, Henry & Terriermon, and Himura & Inumon) aided the Justice League against their dimension's anomalous threat. The anomalies took on the form of Darkseid and the Parademon army. The invasion played out similarly to the previous Apokalips invasion led by the revived Darkseid. However, this time the Beast Tamers helped them and used their Beast Biomerged states.

Utilizing their Beast Spirits, Takato, Rika, Henry, and Himura became Suzakato, Seirika, Henbu, and Himakko. Then, they Biomerged with their Digimon partners to become BlazeGallantmon, StormSakuyamon, QuakeGargomon, and AuroraInumon.

In the end, Superman and BlazeGallantmon dealt the finishing blow to the fake Darkseid and ended the conflict, saving Metropolis and the entire world.

Before departing, the League bestowed the Tamers League memberships, which they politely declined.

"Thanks, but we're already superheroes in our own world, Supes," Takato said.

"And we even have our own headquarters!" Guilmon chimed.

"Well, ain't that something," Superman chuckled.

"But, we'll take the membership cards as souvenirs," Himura added.

"Not a bad idea," the Flash encouraged. "Wait, does that make us long distance pals now?"

"Except this long distance relationship is between dimensions," Batman said.

Rika and Renamon nodded to Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl.

"It was an honor, ladies," Wonder Woman acknowledged StormSakuyamon's fierce prowess in battle.

"No, the honor was ours," Rika replied.

"Ready to head back, guys?" Henry asked as Ryo and Cyberdramon appeared to pick them up.

"See ya, League!" Takato called out, waving to them.

As the Tamers departed, the Justice League resumed their usual League duties.

Outside the Hidden Leaf Village/Universe: NAR-99

Kari & Ophanimon, TK & Seraphimon, Davis & Imperialdramon, Ken & GranKuwagamon, Sora & Phoenixmon, Izzy & HerculesKabuterimon, Mimi & Rosemon, Joe & Plesiomon, Yolei & Valkyrimon, and Cody & Vikemon helped Naruto Uzumaki, the Konoha ninja, and several members of the Allied Shinobi Forces taken down seven anomalies that assumed the forms of the Nine-Tailed Beasts.

Naruto Uzumaki & Kurama and Davis & Imperialdramon Fighter Mode took down the fake Kurama. Sora & Phoenixmon helped take down the fake Five-Tailed Kokuo. Mimi & Rosemon and Izzy & HerculesKabuterimon defeated the fake Seven-Tailed Chomei. Killer Bee & Gyuki and TK & Seraphimon purged the fake Eight-Tailed Gyuki. Ken & GranKuwagamon and Joe & Plesiomon destroyed the fake Six-Tailed Saiken. Kari & Ophanimon took down the fake Four-Tailed Son Goku. Gaara, Yolei & Valkyrimon, and Cody & Vikemon defeated the fake Three-Tailed Isobu, the fake Two-Tailed Matatabi, and the fake One-Tailed Shukaku.

Shortly before departing from the ninja world, Davis boldly remarked. "And we didn't even need to go Ascendant to beat those things!"

"That saved us the energy at least," TK said. "Right, Kari?"

"Yeah," Kari concurred. "It was nice fighting alongside our Digimon for once. It was a nice change of pace."

"Though, you four still got your hands dirty," Sora said, noting Davis, Kari, and TK getting physical during some points of fighting the fake Tailed Beasts.

"Hey, we couldn't help it," Davis chuckled modestly.

"And we had to cover for our Digimon," TK said.

"Hey, we wanted to thank y'all. Man, that was a hell of a fight," Naruto approached the Digiteam. "So, remind me. They're Digi-men?"

"Digimon!" The Digiteam corrected the fox-faced ninja.

"Right, Digimon. I'll keep that in mind."

Watching his friends converse with Naruto, Ken had an itch in the back of his mind. He's had to sit and watch three of his friends achieve Ascendant power. Although he had inherited just a quarter of Davis' Ascendant power through the Digi-Egg of Miracles and Crest of Kindness, he thought long and hard, but now he was adamant about becoming an Ascendant.

"Hey, Ken. We're leaving?" Yolei approached him.

"Huh? Oh right, I'm coming."

Wormmon noted his partner had been mulling since arriving in the ninja world.

"Ken, what's on your mind?" Wormmon asked.

"I might need to talk to Sam very soon."

"About?" Yolei inquired curiously.

"About some training. Maybe he can help unlock whatever small Ascendant power I have in me."

Overhearing Ken from a distance, Sora was reminded of the Crest of Love glowing on her chest. This strange phenomenon has occurred more consistently. She has kept it to herself and in secret has done some meditative training to control her Crest of Love's frequent energy activity.

You're not the only one in need of some training, Ken. Sora thought as she and the group entered the portal.

"See ya, hope we'll get to team-up again," Naruto waved them goodbye.

Republic City/Dimension: LOK-12

Republic City was under siege and attacked by the advent of the darkest and most powerful dark union seen in 10,000 years. Unalaq, who bonded with the dark spirit Vaatu, not only severed the current Avatar, Korra, and the light spirit's, Raava, connection with the past Avatars but became the Dark Avatar: Unavaatu.

With Korra's connection severed and without an Avatar to bring balance, the world's fate was set to fall to Unavaatu. All hope seemed lost.

However, Korra wasn't about to give up. As Tenzin led her to the Tree of Time, she was instructed to meditate and tapped into her innermost spirit.

But for that to happen, she required time and time was against her.

Then, an unexpected turn of events helped to tip the scales in Korra's favor.

(Cue The Legend of Korra OST - Dark Avatar)

Upon pursuing an anomalous agent, the six Legendary Warriors arrived during the middle of Unavaatu's attack. The dark agent decided to make use of Unavaatu's energy and empower itself, turning itself into a miniature Unavaatu.

Opening its eyes, the dark agent, now resembling Unavaatu but wearing black armor, stood ready to fight the Legendary Warriors.

"Oh great, this is the last thing we needed!" Agunimon snarled, dropping into a fighting stance.

"He's borrowed dark energy from that giant being to make itself stronger!" Wolfmon exclaimed, noticing Unavaatu attacking Republic City.

Loweemon sensed the bundle of immense and unsettling dark energies from both beings.

"We have to eliminate this agent at all costs and keep it from taking anymore dark energy from this behemoth!" The Warrior of Darkness adamantly decreed, charging ahead to attack the anomalous being.

"Wait, Loweemon!" Blitzmon called out to him.

The dark agent took to the air and bombarded the Warriors with dark blasts. As they scattered, the Warriors retaliated with their attacks. Loweemon evaded the blasts and jumped up to engage the agent.

"Warrior of Darkness, come to me and give me your energy!" The agent declared, unleashing a barrage of fists and fired dark blasts at Loweemon.

Loweemon brought out his staff and knocked away the agent's blasts. As Loweemon went for a close quarter attack, the agent teleported out of his reach and reappeared behind. The agent kicked Loweemon's rear and sent him crashing to the bottom.

"Loweemon!" The Warriors cried out.

"Kouichi!" Wolfmon headed down to retrieve his brother.

"All right, that's it!" Agunimon roared, unleashing his Pyro Tornado on the agent.

Smirking, the dark agent teleported away and reappeared next to Agunimon. The Warrior of Fire quickly punched him with a fistful of flames. As flames exploded in his face, the dark agent's face altered into that of a monster.

"Ugh!" Agunimon gritted as the dark agent landed a series of body blows.

"Hang on, Agunimon!" Blitzmon rushed at the dark agent.

Fairymon and Chakkoumon joined in to aid Agunimon. Glancing at the three Warriors, the dark agent flew up and formed a dark sphere overhead. The agent tossed the darkness sphere at the Warriors. As the sphere exploded on impact, the Warriors were knocked back.

"Yes, this dark energy from this being has made me stronger! Not just that, but I've acquired knowledge about bending," the dark agent chortled over his new enhancement. "Yes, and acquiring this being's knowledge, I have the power of the Dark Avatar! Unalaq, Vaatu… yes, your powers and knowledge course through me. I must acquire the last fragment of Raava to become the strongest being this world has ever known! I shall take on the name the Dark Avatar!"

(End theme)

"Whatever he's talking about, we can't let him take doesn't belong to him!" Agunimon said, sitting.

"Don't worry, this thing won't get far!" Fairymon said, helping Agunimon up.

"All this talk about Avatar, Dark Avatar, could this be the world of Aang the Last Airbender?" Blitzmon wondered. Then, he and the Warriors noticed the statue of the Last Airbender on the sea.

"Look! That looks like Aang!" Chakkoumon pointed out.

"You're right! It looks like we dropped in some kind of future after Aang's time!" Agunimon realized.

(Cue The Legend of Korra OST - Korra vs. Unavaatu)

The Dark Avatar chortled evilly. "Yes, this is the world of that Airbender. In fact, this being has finally severed the connection of Aang and the former Avatars with the current one! As of now, the Avatar line is no more! Only the Dark Avatars remain! Myself and the one who calls himself Unalaq!"

"Ok, you talk too much!" Agunimon snarled as he and the others Slide Evolved into their A-Hybrid forms. "Gang up on him, guys!"

Meanwhile, Wolfmon landed on a rooftop and found Loweemon hanging on the edge of a building. He hurried over and snatched Loweemon's hand. After pulling up his brother, Wolfmon looked ahead to see a beacon of bluish light ignite Republic City.

"What is it, Wolfmon?" Loweemon asked.

"Look, something's coming out of that light!"

The Warriors of Light and Darkness witnessed a giant Korra covered in a light bluish aura. Giant Korra started toward and engaged Unavaatu in an epic giant battle.

"How fitting. Two beings of light and darkness fighting it out," Wolfmon was drawn into the battle. He suddenly sensed a source of light within Unavaatu. "There's something in that dark behemoth!"

"You felt it, too?" Loweemon inquired, watching Korra and Unavaatu square off. "It's a benign fragment of power yearning to be free."

Just then, a bright beacon of light appeared and illuminated the sky. Within this light, a little girl was seen. It was Jinora's spirit, who willfully used her light to breach and purify Raava's fragment. Wolfmon and Loweemon turned around as the Dark Avatar fought off the other Legendary Warriors.

The Dark Avatar utilized bending abilities, sending dark blasts through his fists, feet, and mouth. He unleashed dark energy that blasted Daipenmon and RhinoKabuterimon back. He then generated eight extra sets of arms and hands, catching both Ardhamon and JetSilphymon.

"Now, it's time we finish this," the Dark Avatar grinned maniacally. He opened his right hand and readied a black ball, accumulating from destructive energies.

Swish! Slash!

The agent's tendrils were instantly sliced apart by Beowulfmon and Reichmon. He saw the Legendary Warriors were freed from his tendrils.

"Damn you!" The Dark Avatar snapped, turning around to attack the brothers.

Lifting his double-sided great sword, Beowulfmon swung it down and unleashed an aura of light, which shaped like a wolf. He hit the Dark Avatar full force with Frozen Hunter. The Dark Avatar barely countered with a dark barrier, but not enough to withstand Beowulfmon's attack. Reichmon quickly followed up shooting his Red Cross, which were red beams fired from the lion's eyes of his helmet. The beams pierced through and opened a hole through the Dark Avatar's chest.

"Gaugh!" The Dark Avatar bellowed in pain. "You think this will do me in?! As long as Unalaq and Vaatu are one, I can't perish!" He regenerated his chest hole and readied his next attack, but then he started straining and felt his power drained away. "No, what's happening?! No, don't tell me!" He turned as he witnessed Korra removing Raava from and destroying Unavaatu with spiritbending. "It can't be…! I must destroy Raava once and for all!"

As the agent raced across and prepared to fly off, a wall of flames erupted and obstructed his way.

"Going somewhere?!" Ardhamon interjected, clocking the agent's face. He then chucked several rounds of Atomic Inferno, which pierced through and critically hurt the agent.

"Ugh!" The Dark Avatar agent roared painfully as flames consumed him. "I won't be done in!"

"No, it's over for you!" Reichmon exclaimed.

Then, Ardhamon amassed energy and formed a dense fireball that slammed into the Dark Avatar agent. The agent let out his final screams of agony as the flames consumed him. As he collapsed, rings of energy formed around him.

(End theme)

(Cue The Legend of Korra OST - Jinora's Light)

"Ready your D-Scanners, guys!" Ardhamon commanded as he and the other Warriors took out their devices.

"Agent of darkness…" Reichmon said.

"Become purified by the elements!" Beowulfmon announced.

"Good riddance to you!" Ardhamon added.

"Digicode Scan!" The Warriors shouted in unison, scanning and deleting every trace of the dark agent.

At exactly the same time, Korra cleansed the last essence of Vaatu for good. The darkness that once shrouded Republic City vanished, letting light return to the world again. Vaatu's existence was no more. Once the Harmonic Convergence neared its end, Korra, Raava, and Jinora returned to the Spirit World.

(Cue The Legend of Korra OST - Leaving the Portals Open)

The Legendary Warriors amassed on the Aang Memorial Island. They saw the statue of Aang fell, which was the result of Unavaatu's attack. Shortly after the battle, Korra, once again fused with Raava, greeted the Legendary Warriors.

"Wow, so you're Aang's successor?!" Chakkoumon was taken aback. "Wait, 'til we tell everyone back…"

Blitzmon cut him off. "Um, probably not a good idea, dude."

"Why?"

Wolfmon muttered. "You forget she and her show doesn't exist in our world yet."

"In other words, spoilers," Loweemon said.

Korra overheard them. "Huh? What are you guys going on about?"

Fairymon shooed the boys off. "Oh nothing! Don't pay any attention to them."

"Right. Now you're not benders, but you can wield the elements?"

Ardhamon nodded. "Yep, we possess the spirits of the Legendary Warriors that give us our powers. Under these armors, we're really human."

"They look so cool!" Meelo squeed at the sight of the Warriors. She and Ikki zipped around while admiring them.

"I want armor like his!" Ikki pointed to Agunimon.

"Heh, sorry kid, but this spirit's not for sale."

"Thanks for taking care of that other Dark Avatar," Jinora said to the Warriors.

"You're welcome," Wolfmon replied kindly.

"Looks like you guys got a lot of cleaning up here," Agunimon examined the post-battle devastation. "And the statue of Aang, I hope you guys can get that put back in place."

"Don't worry, we'll have things fixed up," Korra reassured them.

"It'll take some time though," Tenzin added, arriving with his wife Pema, who carried their youngest child Rohan.

Just then, a portal opened up, which the Legendary Warriors recognized as their time for departure.

"Well, we have to get going," Wolfmon said. "C'mon, everyone. Our mission's done."

"Thank you all. We won't forget you," Tenzin offered his gratitude to the Warriors.

"Aww, they're leaving?" Ikki whined.

"They have to go home now," Jinora smiled as she waved to the Warriors.

Korra gave a thumbs up to the Legendaries. "You guys continue kicking butt and saving your world!"

"You, too! Keep up that Avatar job!" Agunimon called back.

As the Legendary Warriors jumped through the portal, Korra and the others waved them off. In a corner, Mako and Bolin watched the Warriors leave.

"They came from another world, huh? Just how cool is that?!" Bolin shouted exuberantly.

"I guess, but I doubt we'll be seeing them again."

"Aw, man! Never say never, Mako!"

Dropping her hand, Korra broadened her smile. "Take care, Agunimon and Legendary Warriors."

(Cue Digimon Frontier OP - Fire!)

"Takuya here! And so that ends our mission ridding of that agent. Who would've thought it has the ability to siphon power from that Dark Avatar! Well, good thing Korra and Jinora intervened the way they did. By weakening that giant Dark Avatar, that weakened the link with him and the agent we've been hunting.

After a some purification, the agent was no more!

Yeah, probably best we keep Korra and the future of the Avatar world in the dark. Don't want our world to be spoiled, but man me and my friends got special front row seats of what to expect from the Legend of Korra series.

Now that we've left the Avatar world, we're heading back home!

Hmm, now I wonder what world Takato and his group have landed in. Hopefully an awesome experience like ours!"

(Cue Digimon Tamers - The Biggest Dreamer)

"How's it going, guys? Takato Matsuda to give you the recap of what's been happening with the Tamer camp.

For starters, a few of us just came back from dimension missions.

Rika, Henry, Himura, and I just got back from intense training with Tai, X, and the Supreme Digi-Deities in the DF-616 dimension. Man, let me tell ya. How did heck did Tai and his warrior pals able to survive this? It was the hardest training we've ever had to endure! I'm surprised we're alive to tell. But thanks to the training, Guilkatomon got much stronger. Now, Rika, Henry, and Himura have been able to access the power of Advanced Biomerge evolution. I say it was all worth it in the end.

After our intensive training, Ryo summoned Rika, Himura, Henry, I, and the Digimon for an important mission. According to him, he's been pursuing two dark agents that possessed two Kaijuu Digimon, both of them apparently from some world called Planet Kaijuu. I was surprised to learn they're from the DF-616 dimension, where Tai, Max, and the others live.

After scouring through the Nexus, we finally came with luck and tracked them. Wonder what kind of world we've stumbled into now?

Looks like we're about to find out!"

"Takato, I smell something!"

"Is it the dark agents, Guilmon?"

"I don't know but it smells very weird."

"Gee, that's helpful."

"Rika?"

"C'mon, we've got work to do!"

"Sorry, got sidetracked. Let's get going!"

Outer Rim Planet/Dimension: VLD-16

Upon arriving at their destination, the Beast Tamers and their Digimon scoured a planet teeming with extraterrestrial life. Their mission was locating two anomalous agents that have taken physical forms. Their physical form of choice: two Kaijuu Digimon monsters.

And how appropriate these Kaijuu Digimon were set to engage not just the Tamers, but another group of would-be legendary defenders.

Takato and Guilmon halted their march, causing the others to stop. Guilmon raised his nose and sniffed the air.

"Guilmon?"

"I smell danger," Guilmon replied.

"Have we found them already?" Rika asked, turning over to Renamon. She noticed her partner's yellow fur sticking up.

"If they're close by, then we need to be ready for anything," Henry advised the group.

"Then, why aren't they coming out? Too chicken to fight us?!" Terriermon said, clucking out loud like a poultry bird.

"I doubt you'd say that if they were here, little man," Inumon chortled at Terriermon.

"Yeah, but we don't even know what they look like. All we've been told they're big," Takato said. "Like Godzilla-size."

"Um, guys, hate to interrupt but we've got company," Renamon's eyes flared as the bushes in front of them rustled.

Suddenly, a group of bipedal insects came charging out of the bushes armed with alien-tech and laser rifles. Forming a circle around them, the alien hostiles pointed their weapons at the Tamers and the Digimon.

(Cue Shin Godzilla OST - Confrontation)

"Yikes, they got us surrounded!" Terriermon cried out.

"Yuck, giant bugs," Rika made a disgusted face.

"Oh please, why should we be scared of these frea-" Before Inumon could finish, one of the alien insects fired a beam that hit near the Tamers.

"That's why," sighed Himura, who didn't take his eyes off the insects.

"Look, we didn't come to start anything!" Takato openly pleaded to the insects. "We're looking for some bad guys that slipped into your dimension!" He noticed the alien insects turning to each other and communicating in their native tongue. "Um, we come in peace?"

"Too bad we didn't come with a universal translator, it'd come in handy," Henry observed the insect aliens communicating. "I wish we can understand what they're saying."

The insect aliens raised their rifles and prepared to fire at them.

"Great! They probably took your peace gesture as a declaration of war, Takato!" Himura exclaimed.

"What?! It's not my fault I don't speak their tongue!" Takato cried out in panic.

"Don't worry! We're ready to fight!" Guilmon growled, standing in front of Takato. He hastily fired Pyro Sphere and knocked away two insect alien soldiers.

"GUILMON!" Takato snapped.

"Heheh, let's rumble, guys!" Terriermon snickered, hopping off Henry. He spun around and slapped away an insect soldier with a Terrier Tornado.

As the aliens started firing, the Tamers and Digimon evaded and took cover behind some trees. Renamon and Inumon rushed the alien insects. Inumon swiped and punched at a few insect aliens. Renamon jumped up and unleashed her Diamond Storm, striking a few aliens and sending others to retreat.

"Yeah, get 'em, Inumon!" Himura encouraged him.

"Walk all over them, Renamon!" Rika urged her partner on.

"Guys, this isn't what I had in mind for our mission!" Henry exclaimed.

"They wanna fight? Let's give them one!" The Tamer leader declared, taking out and brandishing his D-Ark. Let's send them running, Suzaku!

With that, the Tamers popped out from their hiding spots. They called on their Beast Spirits and transformed before the insect aliens' eyes. A wave of Suzaku's flames bathed over Takato, transforming him into Suzakato. Lightning surged through Rika, turning her into Seirika. A pillar of earth covered Henry from head to toe, which molded over him and transformed him into Henbu. A sheet of metal engulfed Himura, turning her into Himakko.

"Ready, guys?!" Suzakato called out to his teammates.

"Let's go!"

The Beast Tamers rushed into the battle and engaged the insect aliens. Suzakato swooped in, launching fire blasts on insect warriors. The Warrior of Suzaku rained down Firepalm Blasts, variation of flamethrower attacks, that incinerated a few insect aliens.

Seirika spun around, catching several insect warriors with her super powerful tornado attack, Dragon Twister. She followed up and hit them with thunderbolts from her trident.

Henbu raised his hands, lifting sheets of the earth and riding it like a wave. He went through a fleet of alien insects, knocking them away and burying them under earth.

Himakko used his magnetic powers, pulling and disarming the aliens' weapons. Then, he flew in, slashing through them with his metal claws. He hit one soldier with a Drill Claw and tore the insect in two.

Suddenly, the alien insects called for reinforcements. Dropping in from the air were fleets of mechanized battle suits.

"Cripes, they've called for the mechs! Quick, let's digivolve!" Terriermon cried out.

Upon hearing his partner's plea, Henbu's D-Ark reacted and glowed with life. The others' D-Arks responded to their Digimon partner's needs. Guilmon, Terriermon, Renamon, and Inumon evolved into their Champion forms.

Growlmon rushed at a mechanized unit and slashed in two with his Dragon Slash.

Gargomon unloaded rounds of his Gargo Lasers, blasting one mecha down and trading blasts with another.

Three mechas charged at Kyuubimon, who launched her Foxtail Inferno at them. Her fire blasts struck and neutralized the mechs.

Several mechs attacked HellInumon, but the sound of clapping thunder halted them. Then, bolts of black lightning fired through his horns. He blasted and neutralized them using his Black Thunder.

"These freaks are a piece of cake!" Gargomon boasted. "You bugs want some more?!"

Suzakato noticed the insects warriors calling for a retreat. "Huh? Hey, they're running!"

"They figured out they couldn't beat us," Himakko stated.

"I don't think that's it, my friends! Look!" Kyuubimon beckoned the group to turn toward a giant rock formation breaking apart and exploding.

(Cue Voltron: Legendary Defender OST - Robeast Arrives)

As the mountainous formation collapsed, a behemoth emerged and put shock into their faces. Resembling a giant bipedal dinosaur, it was a golem covered entirely in gray stone armor, save for its reddish reptilian face, finger claws, and nails. It let out a high-pitched growl and pounded its chest. The giant shifted its yellow eyes downward, catching sight of the Beast Tamers and the Digimon.

"Crap, he's huge!" Suzakato gaped in aghast.

"He's big, but so what?! We've fought giant monsters before!" Growlmon said.

"Yeah, we can handle this!" Gargomon boasted. "We kicked Gulfm-or whatever's butt long ago, remember?"

"Something tells me this guy's leagues strong," HellInumon said.

"Guys, can you hear me? It's Ryo!" Came the voice of the aforementioned legendary Tamer.

"Ryo?" Suzakato responded to his D-Ark's communicator.

"You've found one of the two dark agent hosts that you've been asked to pursue."

"What is that thing?" Himakko asked.

"Believe it or not, it's a Digimon. You're looking at Golzamon."

"Golza-mon? Wait, there's a Kaijuu named Golza from Ultraman Tiga!" The Warrior of Suzaku recalled.

"Be careful, this monster is not only above Mega-level status, but there's the other one."

"And that'd be…" Before Seirika could finish, the loud flapping of wings and roars came from the sky.

The Tamers and the Digimon watched as a giant winged titan, whose body was covered in thick red scales and a white underbelly, swooped down screechings. It's most notable feature is its tiny head and long neck. Its hands are armed with three fat finger claws. As it landed, its massive wings folded behind its back. The behemoth sighted the Tamers and Digimon, roaring loudly.

"Two of them… great…" HellInumon gulped.

"That one is Melbamon. He's as strong as Golzamon, but don't fret. You guys have already tapped into the power of Advanced Biomerger evolution."

"Yeah, but Takato is the only one with enough experience," Henbu argued. "The rest of us just barely acquired ours through training with X and Shinmon."

"Ugh, that training was the worst," Seirika shuddered.

"Training with X and the Supreme Digi-Deities wasn't so bad. We've gotten stronger thanks to them," Himakko shed a positive light on their training.

The Warrior of Seiryuu sighed, nodding dismissively. "Not them. That old pervert and his method of training was the part I hated."

Flashback/Four Weeks Ago/Digiverse/Central Planet/Dimension: DF-616

Upon arriving on the sacred Supreme Digi-Deity planet, the Tamers and their Digimon were brought over to seek training. Tai and Max recommended them to Shinmon, who along with his colleagues witnessed Takato & Guilmon's transformation into Guilkatomon. However, this couldn't have been possible without Suzaku's power coupled with Takato's desire to save his friends; most importantly his girlfriend Rika Nonaka.

(Cue Dragon Ball Kai (Buu) OST - Supreme Kai)

"You'd allow these young people and their Digimon to train on our sacred grounds?" Kibitomon queried to Shinmon.

"If what Max and Tai said is true, these Tamers are ripe with the greatest potential out of the Chosen we've seen," Shinmon argued their case. "If we're able to bring the potential out of Kari, we can do the same for Takato and his friends."

"Yes, but…" Kibitomon grunted. "Kari was a special case. Not only is she an Ascendant, but possessed Homeostasis' power. These young humans here don't have that."

"Takato has a power comparable to Homeostasis: the Hazard," Max stated. "We were there when Takato briefly trained with Tai."

"Yes, but Takato and Guilmon transformed into that monster NegaMegidramon!" Buddhamon exclaimed. "He could've destroyed our world!"

"But he didn't," Shinmon pointed out. "Thanks to Tai here, he was able to prevent a possible cataclysm."

"Nothing to it. Besides, I was more impressed than scared of Takato to be honest," Tai said, patting Takato's shoulder. "Right? I wasn't scared, was I?"

"I don't even remember," Takato chuckled modestly.

"Are we gonna eat here, too?" Guilmon asked the Supreme Digi-Deities. "'Cause training makes me hungry."

"No need to fear, my red, scaly friend. Our chefs will provide you all the food you can eat!" Shintomon brightened Guilmon's mood.

Agumon nodded. "You'd remember the food being top notch here, Guilmon. You did train with us for a bit."

Inumon smirked hearing this. "All I can eat? Now you know how to entice me!"

Renamon sighed. "You'll have to earn it first."

Terriermon scoffed. "Just how hard can the training be?"

As Terriermon opened his mouth, Rika, Henry, and Himura shuddered as their heads filled with dreadful thoughts.

Did you have to open your big mouth?! The three internally whined in unison.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Believe In Yourself (String Version))

"Ok, Tamers, your first lesson is to dance with me!" Gosenzomon declared, dancing around in a circle.

Facing the elder deity, the Tamers begrudgingly swallowed their pride and danced along. Takato, Henry, and Himura were dressed in male gymnastic leotards. Takato wore a red leotard trimmed with gold. Henry wore a green one trimmed with silver. Himura wore a silver one trimmed with black. As for Rika, she wore a blue female leotard trimmed with yellow.

"You've gotta be kidding me here!" Rika griped as she danced along. "Why am I doing this?! And why do I have to wear this?!"

"You want to get stronger and tap into that Advanced Biomerged power? Well, don't complain," Takato muttered.

"Couldn't have there been other ways?"

"Apparently not," Himura sweatdropped.

"I wonder how our Digimon are doing handling their training?" Henry wondered, to which Takato responded.

"Do you even want to know?"

xxxxx

To say the Tamers' partners had it any easier was a gross understatement.

Guilmon was chained to a large and dense rock. Terriermon was hung upside down and hanging over a lake of ravenous Tylomon and Piranhamon. Inumon was forced to run endless kilometers on a treadmill nonstop.

"HELP ME GET DOWN!" Terriermon screamed.

"This… this too heavy… can't pull…" Guilmon whined.

"Somebody stop this thing!" Inumon spat out, trying to push the stop button, which didn't work. If he jumped off or stopped, he'd fall into a pit of lava. Renamon, my sweet Renamon, I hope these heartless deities haven't put you through something far worse than this!

xxxxx

Renamon sat in meditation near a lake. She briefly opened her eyes and inhaled.

"If you're worried about Inumon, don't. He'll be fine," Max addressed her.

"I know, but as his mate, I'm obliged to worry for his safety. Likewise with Rika. I know this training will make us strong but is isolating me from the others necessary?"

"You're more in tune with nature than the rest," Max replied. "I feel your method of training needs a more unique touch. Don't worry, Rika can join you once she's done with the basics."

Nodding, Renamon closed her eyes.

"Your mind isn't clear. You're still clearly worried for the others."

"You could assess my mind?"

"I don't need to. I can judge from your face and your body. You're an open book to me. Just relax."

As she calmed her tense body, Renamon deeply breathed and meditated.

"Let your mind be clear. By releasing all those worries, you'll tap into your inner spirit. You'll find that potential you and Rika will need to ascend to the next Biomerger level. You two have been bonded for a long time."

"Yes."

"Clear your mind and you'll find what you're looking for."

A few minutes pass, Renamon was not only deep in her thoughts, but a white aura formed over her.

Good job, Renamon. You're getting the hang of it. Max smiled internally. It won't be long until you and Rika reach the Advanced Biomerge stage.

Outer Rim Planet/Dimension: VLD-16

"Rika, that's behind us now," Suzakato stated. "If it wasn't for the training, you three wouldn't been able to catch and gain Advanced Biomerged powers like me! No matter how orthodox that training was, you got better for it!"

"He's right, Rika," Kyuubimon concurred. "We would be far behind Guilkatomon if we didn't take the training. Even if that lecherous old deity was a pain."

"Don't worry! I sure showed him for you, Renamon!" HellInumon said rather proudly.

"Hey, guys! Golzamon and Melbamon are advancing elsewhere!" Henbu noticed the two Kaijuu Digimon moving northeast.

"I wonder why though?" Suzakato speculated.

"Um, that might be why! Look up there!" Himakko pointed to the sky like a giant robot dove through the clouds and headed straight for the two Kaijuu Digimon.

"A giant robot?" Seirika blinked thrice.

"No! Not just any giant robot! I recognize that robot anywhere!" Suzakato gleamed as the giant robot landed with a thunderous impact. "Voltron!"

"VOLTRON?!" The Tamers and Digimon shouted in unison.

(Cue Voltron: Legendary Defender OST - Voltron Transformation)

Indeed, the giant robot that's appeared is Voltron, the giant guardian robot formed from the combined power of five robot lions. Voltron's body and head were formed from the Black Lion, the largest of the group. Its legs are the Blue and Yellow lions. The arms were the Red and Green Lions. Combined as one, this giant robot functioned as a single cohesive unit that was greater than its sum of parts.

Inside Voltron, there were five pilots; four males and a female. Contrary to other versions, the sole female is not the princess.

"These are the monsters the ship picked up traces on?" The red Paladin, Keith, inquired, studying Golzamon and Melbamon.

"Yep, two of them according to Princess Allura and Coran," the black Paladin and leader, Shiro, confirmed.

"Like whoa, they're as freaking big as Voltron!" The blue Paladin, Lance, freaked.

"C'mon, we can't back out now. If we leave these monsters behind, they might go on a rampage and destroy this world!" The green Paladin, Pidge, stated.

"I don't know. I mean, we're picking a fight with them. They haven't even attacked us," the yellow Paladin, Hunk, said matter-of-factly.

In response to Voltron's intervention, Golzamon responded with a purple beam from its neck and shot out of its forehead. The beam caught and knocked Voltron back. The Paladins hung on tight inside their cockpit.

"Ok, forget what I said," Hunk grunted.

"Let's attack now!" Shiro declared.

"GO VOLTRON!"

(End theme)

(Cue Shin Godzilla OST - Black Angels)

With that, Voltron recovered and dashed forward to fight the Kaijuu Digimon. As Golzamon prepared another blast, Voltron quickly sidestepped Golzamon's beam. Voltron caught Golzamon with a Red Lion fist. The robot then followed up with a Blue Lion fist. He battered Golzamon with body blows and knocked it back. As Golzamon fell, Melbamon swooped in and slashed with its feet. Voltron grabbed Melbamon's feet, but the Kaijuu Digimon fired a quick succession of yellow beams, known as its Melbanic Ray. The attack sent Voltron crashing to the ground. Melbamon screeched loudly and triumphantly.

"Ugh, that hurt…" Keith grunted hard, sitting up in his seat. "Is everyone ok?!"

"Yeah, but I knew I shouldn't have eaten before fighting," Hunk groaned and rubbed his head.

"C'mon, guys! Let's get it together!" Pidge urged her teammates on.

"Right! We're just getting started!" Shiro boldly declared.

As Voltron rose, the two Kaijuu Digimon circled it and prepared for a double team attack. Voltron cautiously held its ground, watching and waiting for either monster to strike.

"Voltron's in trouble! Let's give the pilots a hand, guys!" Suzakato called out.

"We'll have to Biomerge then," Henbu suggested. "You heard Ryo. These monsters are supposed to be beyond Mega-level."

"Yeah, and they're carriers of the dark agents we've been pursuing," Himakko said. "If we let these things spread and cause chaos in this dimension, it's doomed."

"Well, better now than later! Get ready, Kyuubimon!" Seirika commanded.

As the Digimon regressed to their Rookies forms, the Beast Tamers took out their D-Arks and Biomerged with their Digimon. In place of Suzakato & Guilmon, BlazeGallantmon emerged. In place of Seirika and Renamon, StormSakuyamon formed. When Henbu and Terriermon merged, they became QuakeGargomon. As Himakko and Inumon Biomerged, AuroraInumon emerged in their place.

"Ready?! Let's attack!" BlazeGallantmon hollered, jetting toward the battle between the giant robot and the Kaijuu Digimon. "Hey! Here comes the cavalry!"

The Paladins quickly shifted over to BlazeGallantmon's coming between Voltron and the monsters. They watched in shock as BlazeGallantmon fired off Phoenix Shot at Golzamon's face. The destructive blast impacted Golzamon and knocked it back some.

"What the hell is that?!" A flabbergasted Keith cursed loudly.

"Looks like a mech of some kind!" Lance exclaimed.

"It resembles some kind of knight," Hunk noticed BlazeGallantmon.

"And it just attacked that behemoth! It has to be fighting on our side," Pidge stated.

"Yes, but who or what is it?" Shiro wondered, suspiciously eyeing BlazeGallantmon.

"There's more coming!" Hunk pointed out to the other Beast Biomergers flying in and attacking Melbamon.

"Yeah, they gotta be fighting for us if they're attacking these monsters!" Pidge added. "Let's go and give them a hand!"

"Perhaps, but let's proceed with caution," Shiro replied plainly. "For all we know, they may be doing this just to win us over. They could be Galra Empire spies."

Meanwhile, the Beast Biomergers heatedly engaged the Kaijuu Digimon. BlazeGallantmon and StormSakuyamon double teamed Golzamon. Melbamon fought hard against QuakeGargomon and AuroraInumon. Though small (except MegaGargomon, who was nearly half the size of the Kaijuu), they were fast enough to perform evasive moves that worked well through the monster's attacks.

"Up here, big guy!" BlazeGallantmon called out above Golzamon. He immediately fired another Phoenix Shot into Golzamon's face.

StormSakuyamon unleashed bolts of lightning that struck Golzamon. Golzamon absorbed her lightning blasts and expelled Ultrasonic Beam at her. As StormSakuyamon evaded the beam, BlazeGallantmon stopped the beam with his shield and unleashed a fiery phoenix wave from his body. As the phoenix attack hit Golzamon, the Kaijuu's skin absorbed the heat energy and converted it into his own power.

"Aw nuts! He's eating our attack!" BlazeGallantmon whined in Takato's voice.

Then, Golzamon returned fire and expelled a heat beam at BlazeGallantmon.

"BlazeGallantmon, watch out!" StormSakuyamon called out to him.

(End theme)

Just then, Voltron swiftly intercepted Golzamon's beam and knocked it away with its Red Lion hand.

"Whoa! Thanks, Voltron!" BlazeGallantmon waved to the giant legendary defender.

(Cue Shin Godzilla OST - The Offensive)

Inside, the Paladins focused on Golzamon, who turned its sights on them. As Golzamon charged, Voltron rushed and caught Golzamon's right claw. The two giants locked up and sized each other up. Voltron reared back and punched Golzamon's chest. Voltron followed up and landed body blows. Golzamon tried covering up from Voltron's rapid punches. Voltron reared its Green Lion fist, catching Golzamon with a jaw breaking punch. Golzamon stumbled back and fell following Voltron's punch.

"C'mon, BlazeGallantmon! Let's give them a hand!" StormSakuyamon suggested.

The two beast Biomergers joined in and helped Voltron beat down Golzamon, who surprisingly stood ready for more.

QuakeGargomon and AuroraInumon engaged in aerial warfare with Melbamon. The flying Kaijuu rained down yellow explosive blasts. AuroraInumon evaded the incoming beams. QuakeGargomon flew around Melbamon and unleashed a barrage of drills from slots, which opened up all over his armored tank of a body. The Quake Drills, which he calls them, headed for Melbamon. Melbamon flapped its wings hard and redirected the drills toward QuakeGargomon.

"Yikes! Hey, that ain't fair, ya overgrown bird!" QuakeGargomon cried out, dodging his own drill attacks. "Or pterosaur! Or, whatever the heck you are!" The obnoxious voice of Terriermon rang out.

"Watch where you're shooting those drills!" AuroraInumon yelled out, using Himakko's magnetic powers to stop any drills heading his way. "Crap! Look out from above!"

Melbamon flew up ready to attack the Beast Biomergers again.

"Give us a break here!" QuakeGargomon griped.

"Probably would be a good time to bust out our Advanced Biomerged forms… man, to think we just acquired these forms recently. It feels like yesterday," muttered AuroraInumon, reflecting on the training with the Supreme Digi-Deities in dimension DF-616.

Flashback/Three Weeks Ago/Digiverse/Central Planet/Dimension: DF-616

For the next training session, the Tamers and their Digimon were able to co-op. Of the four, Takato was the first to finish his basics and spent days sparring with Guilmon. Rika followed shortly after and entered meditation sessions with Renamon. Himura and Henry both finished at the same time, joining Terriermon and Inumon in earth and metal-style training.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - A Strong Enemy Appears)

As Takato transformed into Suzakato, he launched fire blasts in Guilmon's way. Guilmon evaded his partner's attacks and evolved into Growlmon. Growlmon launched Pyro Blaster, which Suzakato stopped with a flame barrier. Suzakato jetted across and landed a pyro-imbued kick to Growlmon, prompting the Champion to evolve into WarGrowlmon.

"C'mon, boy! Give me your best!" Suzakato goaded his partner.

Reluctant to do so, WarGrowlmon gave in to Tamer's demands and unleashed Atomic Destroyer. Invoking Suzaku's power, Suzakato's body ignited in flames as he transformed into his Beast Mode: Phoenix Mode. Suzakato Phoenix Mode swerved out of WarGrowlmon's way and folded his wings, launching fiery piercing shots that tore through WarGrowlmon. WarGrowlmon still managed to walk through Suzakato PM's attacks and went for his Radiation Blades. As he rammed his blades through Suzakato PM, the Warrior of Suzaku's body vanished into flames.

"What?!" WarGrowlmon gaped in shock.

Before he even realized it, Suzakato PM reappeared above WarGrowlmon and ignited his whole body into flames, turning into a blazing phoenix. He dove and slammed into WarGrowlmon with Phoenix Dive, overwhelming the Ultimate. WarGrowlmon was quickly toppled over and beaten by his partner.

Suzakato PM powered down and mode changed to human Suzakato.

"You're keeping up, boy. Good job…" Suzakato panted, looking over his shoulder. He saw WarGrowlmon sit up giving him a thumbs up.

"You're getting strong, Takato!"

"And it's only a matter of time before Guilkatomon gets much stronger than before. We need to keep it up!"

"Right!"

'You're both improving and there's no doubt Guilkatomon will benefit from both of you being at your best!' Suzaku telepathed with both of his friends, urging them on.

As Suzakato and WarGrowlmon resumed their sparring, Seirika and Sakuyamon watched them from a far corner. WarGrowlmon turned back to Guilmon, who then turned into Gallantmon and started giving Suzakato more of a challenge.

"Good job, guys," Seirika muttered, smiling without them noticing.

"Let's resume our training, Rika. We can't fall behind."

"Heck yeah! Let's do this!" Serika pumped her fists. She quickly transformed into her Beast Mode: Dragon Mode. She emerged from a burst of water and sparred with Sakuyamon.

Henbu and Himakko both followed suit as they transformed into their Beast Modes: Turtle and Tiger Mode. Henbu Turtle Mode clashed with MegaGargomon. Himakko Tiger Mode wrestled with YoukaiInumon.

(End theme)

"They're progressing along nicely," Shinmon observed with Tai, Agumon, and Max.

"See? Give them a chance and they won't let you down," Tai said.

"I'd dare say they're progressing at a rate that rivals you Ascendants," Shinmon assessed the Beast Tamers' training.

"That would only be possible thanks to their Beast Spirits," plainly said Tai. "There's something special about those sacred beasts. Who would've thought monsters sealed in cards would give them this power? It's incredible!"

Outer Rim Planet/Dimension: VLD-16

(The Offensive resumes)

Golzamon retaliated, firing another Ultrasonic Beam at Voltron, BlazeGallantmon, and StormSakuyamon. The three evaded Golzamon's attack, leading Voltron to fire beams from his Green and Red Lion mouth hands. Golzamon absorbed the attacks and fired back at Voltron.

The Paladins were rocked hard following Golzamon's attack.

"Hang tough, everyone!" Shiro exclaimed.

"Hey look!" Lance pointed out to BlazeGallantmon, shooting fiery beams through his shield.

"He's going out of his way covering for us!" Keith said.

"See? They're on our side, Shiro!" Pidge stated the obvious.

"Paladins, are you ok? This is Princess Allura!" The voice of the last princess of Planet Altea reached them via transmission.

"We're hanging tough, Princess!" Lance answered.

"By the way, are you seeing this?! We've got some back-up!" Hunk yelled out excitedly.

"Yes, I'm surprised as well. And these big monsters don't appear to be Robeasts."

"Yeah, we figured as much. Whatever these monsters are, these warriors helping us are adamantly trying to defeat them," Shiro explained, watching BlazeGallantmon plunge his lance through Golzamon's left shoulder.

"Lend them your support, Paladins. If they're risking their lives to aid you, then we should return the favor."

"Well, Shiro?" Keith asked the eldest Paladin.

Nodding, Shiro wore a determined glare. "Let's give them all our support!"

"Yeah we're going in!" Lance exclaimed.

"We'll be descending and giving any aided support!" The eccentric voice belonging to Coran rang out loudly.

(End theme)

(Cue Ultraman Tiga OST - Tiga!)

Using its Red Lion hand, Voltron smashed it against the mouth of the Green Lion head. From the mouths, Voltron forged and summoned its Blazing Sword. Voltron rocketed forward and then swinging down its sword dealt a slash through Golzamon's back. Golzamon screeched painfully, but before it could retaliated, StormSakuyamon bombarded the Kaijuu with thunder blasts from her trident. BlazeGallantmon became engulfed in a phoenix cloak and dove headfirst through Golzamon's torso.

"Yeah! How do you like that one?!" BlazeGallantmon spat out as Golzamon dropped to one knee.

BlazeGallantmon left a gaping hole in its torso. Golzamon grunted hard and tried to recover from this grievous wound.

"Nice work, BlazeGallantmon!" StormSakuyamon added.

"It's not over yet!" BlazeGallantmon looked up as AuroraInumon and QuakeGargomon were still battling Melbamon. "Guys, hang in there! We're coming!"

However, Voltron immediately took to the air using its wings for support. Melbamon noticed Voltron's approach and fired yellow blasts. In response, Voltron forged a shield construct, using Black Lion's wings, to protect from Melbamon's blasts. Readying its sword, Voltron dove into Melbamon and landed a vertical slash through Melbamon's chest. Melbamon was swiftly struck down, leaving itself open for AuroraInumon and QuakeGargomon to attack.

AuroraInumon plunged his spear through Melbamon's neck. QuakeGargomon caught the Kaijuu with an earth-shattering punch to Melbamon's face. Voltron then dropped its sword over Melbamon's back, sending it crashing down next to Golzamon. Voltron then activated its mouth cannon and blasted both Kaijuu Digimon.

"And you're outta there!" QuakeGargomon cried out in Terriermon's boastful voice.

"But they're not down for the count!" AuroraInumon said, in Inumon's voice, as the Kaijuu Digimon slowly rose.

"Nuts, these guys don't know when to quit!" BlazeGallantmon added in Guilmon's voice.

"We'll need to go into our Advanced Biomerged states if we want to win," StormSakuyamon suggested in Renamon's voice.

Suddenly, a volley of blasts rained down from the sky and sent the Beast Biomergers scattering. Voltron took a hit in the back, causing it to turn and face an armada fleet of ships.

"Hey, what gives?!" Hank vented.

"Why the hell are they attacking us?!" Lance exclaimed.

"Might be because we've dropped onto their planet without permission," Shiro said. "We did more or less illegally enter their world."

"But how were we supposed to know that?!" Keith spat out.

Allura spoke through. "That's because we weren't. They're invaders that sacked and overtaken this planet's natives. They've dispatched their entire fleet to investigate our battle."

"Bet they weren't counting on two giant monsters living among the natives," Pidge said.

Just then, Shiro received a transmission from the invader fleet. Upon accepting the message, the leader's visual appeared on their screen. The leader resembled a rhinoceros beetle garbed in dark green armor.

"State your reason for attacking us. We've already determined you're not this planet's natives," Shiro stated, demanding a straight answer.

The ship translated the insect leader's response. "I am General Scarabis of the Scarab Federation, you are trespassing on Federation territory! Furthermore, our scouts have confirmed you are in league with a group of fighters that decimated several of our units!"

"Who is he talking about?" bemused Keith.

"He must be referring to our new friends here!" Hunk referred to the Beast Biomergers.

The Beast Biomergers scanned around to see Scarab Fed mech fighters surrounding them. They got into battle stances as the enemies readied cannon blasters.

"They must called for reinforcements after we beat those bug freaks," StormSakuyamon scoffed in Rika's voice.

"That's not our fault! They picked a fight with us first!" BlazeGallantmon protested, glaring at the Scarab fighters. "Look, we're here to stop these giant monsters not you!"

The Scarab fighters didn't take kindly to BlazeGallantmon's remarks and opened fire. The Beast Biomergers covered up, absorbing the barrage of rapidfire blasts.

"That does it! You want some, come get some!" QuakeGargomon accepted and grabbed a fighter. He tossed it at another, smashing both.

BlazeGallantmon, StormSakuyamon, and AuroraInumon quickly joined in to help QuakeGargomon. As a few stray blasts struck Voltron, the Paladins retaliated by taking a few Scarab mechs down with his sword.

"They're giving us no choice but to fight them!" Lance said.

"Let's hit them hard!" Hunk shouted.

Voltron grabbed a mech and tossed it aside.

"You'll regret your foolish decision! Consider this an act of war on the Scarab Federati-!" Suddenly General Scarabis feed was immediately cut off.

(End theme)

The reason being? Golzamon and Melbamon shooting blasts that tore through all of the Scarab fighters, including the general himself. Golzamon and Melbamon were both bathed in dark purple auras.

"Great, we go from bad to the absolute shit hitting the fan," AuroraInumon remarked.

"The anomalous energies are growing in them!" StormSakuyamon warned them.

"This would be a good time to bust out our Advanced Biomerged forms!" suggested QuakeGargomon.

(Cue Ultraman Tiga OST - Monster Revival (0:00-0:35))

Golzamon and Melbamon both launched blasts that knocked away the Beast Biomergers and Voltron. Then, the Kaijuu Digimon turned, placing their backs against the other. A darker shade of purple light enveloped them completely. A loud roar emanated from the pillar of dark light. A burst of red light erupted from the pillar.

"Man that was smarts…" BlazeGallantmon grunted, picking himself up.

"Guys, um think we'll need to regroup," AuroraInumon said, fixated on the dark pillar of light solidifying into a giant malefic crystal.

Voltron rose and stood ready to fight again.

"Hey, check that out!" Lance pointed to the dark crystal floating into the air.

"Um, I don't like where this is heading…" Hunk sweated nervously.

"What are they doing?" Keith wondered.

"Your guess is as good as mine," Shiro muttered. "But let's not take any chances! Paladins, intercept the monsters!"

With that, Voltron jumped up and propelled through the air. The giant robot readied its Black Lion mouth cannon and blasted the malefic crystal. However, much to the Paladins' dismay, their blast failed to breach the crystal, which absorbed the cannon blast.

(End theme)

The malefic crystal fired back with a dark beam. Voltron raised its sword and barely stopped the blast. However, another blast caught Voltron and sent it flying back.

"HANG ON!" Shiro called out, holding onto his seat.

The other Paladins hung on tightly during the violent turbulence.

(Cue Shin Godzilla OST - Godzilla Relanding)

Suddenly, the malefic crystal cracked cracked apart. Layers of crystal started breaking off and falling apart. As the crystal split open, burst of red light leaked out. Emerging from its crystal shell, a single monster, rather than two, emerged. The Beast Biomergers and the Voltron Paladins witnessed in horror as the monster emerged not even resembling the two monsters before.

The combined Kaijuu turned out to be a fusion straight out nightmares. It looked exactly like a fusion between Godzilla, the King of the Monsters, and Shinji Ikari's EVA Unit-01, the first Evangelion unit. It was double the size of Golzamon and Melbamon. Its entire front part of the body was predominantly EVA Unit-01, from its distinctive chest plate that resembled pectoral muscles and the unique helmet with the horn and frill. The helmet has meshed with the Godzilla head. Instead of green, the monster's clear, soulless eyes shifted around surveying its surroundings. It even has the lanky arms and legs that EVA Unit-01 is known for. The purple and green armor perfectly meshes with the Godzilla half of the body. The Godzilla half of the body is one would expect: dark gray scheme covering its body, a long prehensile tail, and white spikes. Starting at the dorsal fin, the spikes went all the way down its tail.

This would be the end result if Godzilla's G-Cells were to ever merge with Unit-01. Having taken samples from both entities, the dark agents that possessed the two Kaijuu Digimon ended up with this nightmare creation: Golzabamon.

(End theme)

"Great, they've combined. Should've guessed it," shuddered BlazeGallantmon, who couldn't take his eyes off the evolved gargantuan.

StormSakuyamon shuddered. "We already had trouble with two. Now we're taking on both of them combined!"

"Even worse, they look like Godzilla combined with EVA Unit-01!" Takato's voice cried out of BlazeGallantmon. "Doesn't this take you back, Rika? When we were briefly in the Evangelion world."

"Yeah, no kidding," Rika replied through StormSakuyamon.

"Great, he's part-Godzilla and part-Unit-01!" QuakeGargomon added in Terriermon's voice. "Great observation, Sherlock, but that's the least of our concerns, Terriermon!" Quipped Henry.

"Well now, Himura. Don't you think we oughta even the odds?" AuroraInumon said in Inumon's tone. "Hey, let's go into Advanced mode, guys!"

"Just what I was going to suggest," BlazeGallantmon said in Takato's voice. "I'm ready, Takato! And so is Guilkatomon!"

Drawing power from their D-Arks, Beast Spirits, and internal fighting souls, the Beast Biomergers invoked their Advanced Biomerged stages.

(Cue Digimon Tamers - One Vision (TV Size))

The four Beast Tamers yelled out in unison. "Advanced Biomerge Activate!"

Suzakato and BlazeGallantmon merged to become a humanoid male. He now gained long golden hair, amber eyes with golden trim, a red biker jacket with Guilmon's hazard sign & Suzaku's symbol meshed on the back, a black shirt underneath said jacket, red & black sneakers, and fingerless black gloves. He punched and kicked as pillars of flames shot out behind him. While not the first time this form was used, they became Guilkatomon once again.

Seirika and StormSakuyamon combined into a young, attractive woman in her 20s. She has short golden hair with a style similar to Parasite Eve's Aya Brea. She now had blue eyes with a golden trim, a blue jacket with Seiryuu's symbol on the back, a black corset underneath the jacket, ripped jeans, and black & blue knee-high boots. Drops of rain and a shower of petals fell behind her while a yin & yang symbol formed under her. The combined Seirika/Sakuyamon became Renrukimon.

Henbu and QuakeGargomon combined into a tall, muscular man with mullet golden hair. He gained green eyes with a golden trim, European styled clothing, knee-high powerhouse boots, and large fingerless gloves. Boulders fell down like meteors and exploded behind him. The partners combined into Terryamon.

Himakko and AuroraInumon combined to become a lanky humanoid warrior. His eyes opened, revealing hazel with golden trim. Long wild golden hair with a style similar to Inuyasha flowed outward/ He now wear a golden robe with a silver waist belt and a necklace. He wore black shoes to cover his feet. A barrage of steel blades rained down behind him. The duo completed their Advanced stage, becoming Inumuramon.

"Ready, guys?!" Guilkatomon called forth his team.

"Ready!"

(End theme)

"Whoa, are y'all seeing this?!" Hunk shouted gleefully. "They've changed!"

"Just what are they? Otherworldly beings from another world?" deduced Pidge, who couldn't take her eyes off the Advanced Biomergers.

"Does it matter? They're on our side and we've got a monster to take down," Shiro adamantly stated.

"Yeah, we're not done yet!" Keith exclaimed in determination.

"And hope we don't get eaten," Lance dryly remarked.

"Paladins, what is going on? Who are these four beings?" Allura asked via transmission. "Their energy signatures are astronomically off the scales!"

"Whoever they are, we should be thankful they're here," Shiro said.

"Well, thank goodness for that! But I would advise destroying the monster soon," Coran offered a wise suggestion. "The energy emanating from this monster is potent enough to destroy the very planet you're standing on!"

"Whoa, you're kidding!" Hunk freaked out.

"Don't worry, we won't give it the chance, Coran and Princess!" Keith said.

(Cue Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance OST - The Beast)

As Voltron flew over next to the Advanced Biomergers, they intently faced down the merged Kaijuu Digimon. With its eyes flaring, Golzabamon fired its Infernal Breath, a purple atomic breath, toward the legendary defenders. The Advanced Biomergers and Voltron dodged the incoming blast, which tore through the earth and scorched the surface. The blast went through a rock formation and blew it up.

Boom!

As the smoke cleared away, the entire rock formation and surrounding vicinity was wiped off the map. Golzabamon shifted away, catching sight of Inumuramon swinging down his Byakko Fang. Inumuramon's weapon slashed open a wound on Golzabamon's shoulder. Barely fazed, Golzabamon swiped at Inumuramon, who blurred out and vanished.

"Over here!" Inumuramon called out, hefting his Byakko Fang overhead. Channeling destructive energies, he brought it down and unleashed a series of piercing attacks that tore into its rough outer layered skin.

Golzabamon seemingly walked through Inumuramon's attacks. Invoking its secondary attacks, the monster shot laser beams from its tail and spines.

However, Terryamon intervened saving Inumuramon. Terryamon summoned a large green construct, which stopped Golzabamon's blast dead cold. Terryamon sighed with relief, looking upon the green shield that would be his Genbu Seed.

"Are you ok, Inumuramon?!"

"Yes, thanks, Terryamon!"

Golzabamon screeched angrily and rushed the two Advanced Biomergers. As it swung its massive tail, Terryamon and Inumuramon narrowly dodged.

Suddenly, Golzabamon turned and prepared to fire another Infernal Breath. Voltron flew in and smashed its sword over the Kaijuu. However, Golzabamon caught Voltron's sword and headbutted, nearly stabbing with its horn. Disarming Voltron, Golzabamon unloaded a flurry of punches on Voltron. Golzabamon jumped up and punched Voltron's face. Then, the creature tail whipped Voltron off the robot's feet.

Suddenly, a barrage of fire feathers rained from the sky and blasted Golzabamon. The Kaijuu responded with lasers from its spines and took out most of the blazing feathers. Golzabamon saw Guilkatomon in mid-air. Guilkatomon cupped his hands together, forging a red ball made of destructive energies.

"That's it, big guy! Come get me!" Guilkatomon goaded the Kaijuu, who charged and prepared to shoot another atomic breath.

Golzabamon fired another Infernal Breath toward Guilkatomon, who barely had time to finish gathering his attack. Nonetheless, the Advanced Biomerger unleashed his Hazard Wave, a red variation of Omega X's Terra Beam and Max's Tsunami Wave. As the beam headed for Golzabamon, the Hazard mark flared brightly on the center.

Guilkatomon and Golzabamon were caught in a beam struggle.

I can't let this thing beat me! After all that extra training I went through under Max and the Deities…! Guilkatomon reflected on his training under Max and Tai's watch.

Flashback/One Week Ago/Digiverse/Central Planet/Dimension: DF-616

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Team Dragon's Theme)

Boom!

Omega X and Guilkatomon's fists connected as sparks flew out. Being the stronger of the two, Omega X gained leverage. However, Guilkatomon didn't relent and pushed Omega X away. Guilkatomon launched into Omega X and went for a right hand.

Omega X shifted away using Instant Movement. Taken off guard, Guilkatomon turned around and saw Omega X gathering Ki in the cusp of his hands. Guilkatomon had the same idea. Omega X fired off Tsunami Wave at the exact time Guilkatomon fired Hazard Wave. The beams collided, seemingly in a standstill. Guilkatomon briefly gained an upper hand over Omega X. Then, Omega X sighted an opening and teleported onto Guilkatomon's right side.

Tapping into his Ascendant God reserves, Omega X blasted and knocked away Guilkatomon, splitting him up to Takato and Guilmon again.

"Aw nuts! Almost had you!" Takato whined.

Omega X landed with arms folded. "Yeah almost, but not close enough."

"Did you use that Ascendant God power?"

"Maybe a teeny bit," Tai grinned.

"A teeny bit? That's cheating!"

"You think bad guys are gonna play fair?"

Takato was quickly silenced.

"I rest my case! So, who's next?" Omega X turned to Renrukimon, Terryamon, and Inumuramon.

The sparring matches ended as follows: Terryamon and his Genbu Seed shield were no match for Omega X's immense power. Inumuramon did better with his Byakko Fang and even forced Omega X to dodge his attacks, but the Ascendant beat him quite handily. Renrukimon proved a little more nimble and troublesome for Omega X, but Omega X took her down.

Against these three, Omega X didn't even require his Ascendant God power.

"You're all only going to get much stronger from here if you keep up the training," Omega X advised them. "But only train and get stronger when needed. You four aren't true Ascendants, but as far as I'm concerned you sure fought like them. Well done."

Guilkatomon raised his head, smiling genuinely. "No, thank you, Tai. We wouldn't have become Advanced Biomerged warriors without you. Now I feel we can do much more to protect our world and other dimensions that may need us." He and Omega X fist-bumped. "I won't let you down."

Outer Rim Planet/Dimension: VLD-16

"I'M NOT GOING TO FALL HERE!" Guilkatomon defiantly screamed in the face of imminent destruction. His face contorted intensely and gnashed his teeth hard.

(Cue Evangelion 2.0: You Can (Not) Advance OST - The Aggressor)

Suddenly, metallic fan-like blades pierced through Golzabamon's legs, which halted the Kaijuu. As Golzabamon turned around, Renrukimon appeared in plain sight holding another pair of metal blades, which were produced from her Seiryuu Scales. Golzabamon roared like mad and rushed at Renrukimon.

"Anytime now, Takato! Hurry up!" Renrukimon yelled out, quickly flying out of Golzabamon's reach. She spun around, landing her Seiryuu Kick, a fierce roundhouse kick that took out Golzabamon's left eye.

The Kaijuu roared immensely in pain after Renrukimon kicked off its eyeball.

As Golzabamon reached for Renrukimon, Terryamon intervened and countered with his shield. Golzabamon's claw bounced off the barrier. However, to Terryamon's surprise, the barrier shattered shortly after Golzabamon struck it. Inumuramon swiftly dropped in and shoved his fang blade through the back of Golzabamon's neck. Attempting to neutralize the Kaijuu's neck and by extension spine, Inumuramon went for the ideal strategy: immobilizing the Kaijuu's movements.

However, Golzabamon self regenerated from Inumuramon's attack and turned shook the blade off. He prepared to open fire and obliterate Inumuramon.

"HIMURA! INUMON!" Terryamon and Renrukimon yelled out in unison.

"SHIT!" Loudly cursed Inumuramon, who barely started moving out of the way of Golzabamon's attack.

Then…

Boom!

A loud explosion echoed throughout the battlefield. A blast came out of nowhere and hit the back of Golzabamon. Everyone turned to the source of the attack: Voltron. Voltron recovered its sword and started toward the Kaijuu.

Golzabamon screeched and charged Voltron. Clenching its right fist, he lunged and punched at Voltron. The legendary defender quickly sidestepped Golzabamon's attack. Voltron quickly got behind Golzabamon and clubbed the monster's back. Golzabamon whirled around and tail whipped Voltron hard. Voltron stumbled back, giving Golzabamon an opening to attack. Golzabamon punched Voltron, who had the same idea.

Boom!

The Kaijuu and giant robot's fists connected, creating a loud collision that echoed throughout the vicinity. Everything shook in its way. If there was a volcano near them, it would've exploded and expelled a megaton of lava into the air.

Neither titan relented and unloaded a flurry of punches. Voltron and Golzabamon's kinetic punches matched blow for blow.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Golzabamon roared and headbutted Voltron. Voltron caught Golzabamon by the horn and raised its sword. Preparing to disable its horn, Voltron brought the blade down. However, Golzabamon fired a laser from its tail, hitting Voltron with it. Sparks flew off Voltron's body following the laser shot.

"Ugh! Hang on, everyone!" Shiro gritted.

"No way we're going down!" Keith yelled out, fully determined to win.

"We've taken damage!" Pidge shouted.

Voltron stumbled back, allowing Golzabamon to rush and grab the robot's neck with its tail. The Kaijuu lifted Voltron up and tossed it around. Swinging it around, Golzabamon looked to send the robot flying into away.

(End theme)

Boom!

Laser beams fired from the sky and blasted Golzabamon's back. This caused the Kaijuu to drop Voltron. Everyone looked up and saw a massive battleship descending, which the Paladins recognized as Castle of Lions, or in this case the Castle-Ship

"Hang on, Paladins! Help is on the way!" Allura shouted. "Coran, fire!"

"As you command!" Coran fired a laser beam from the ship.

Golzabamon recovered and barely dodged the incoming beam. The Kaijuu unleashed its atomic breath at the Castle-Ship.

"Defense shields on!" Allura commanded.

The ship's particle barrier enveloped the Castle-Ship, nullifying Golzabamon's destructive beam, which now peaked at planet-destroying power.

"Princess Allura, this monster's output of power is increasing! I'm not sure we can hold up!" Coran exclaimed.

"Paladins, stand and fight!" Allura encouraged them.

(Cue Gurren Lagann OST - Nikopol)

Just then, Guilkatomon intervened and blasted Golzabamon with Hazard Wave. The other Advanced Biomergers joined in and helped Guilkatomon. Turning its attention to the Advanced Biomergers, Golzabamon unleashed its Infernal Breath. Guilkatomon quickly turned his Hazard Wave and pushed Golzabamon's attack away.

"Suzaku, lend us your strength!" Guilkatomon raised his right fist. Fire imbued his fist, which he then converted into energy. As Golzabamon reached for him, Guilkatomon reared back and threw his red energy-imbued fist, catching Golzabamon's massive hand.

Golzabamon growled and intently glared down Guilkatomon.

"You call that a punch?" Guilkatomon asked him.

Golzabamon brought down its other fist and punched Guilkatomon far back. As he was shot through the air, Guilkatomon stopped himself in mid-air and wiped the blood from his bottom lip.

"You haven't finished me yet!" The Warrior of Suzaku yelled out.

As Golzabamon charged, the Advanced Biomergers unleashed beams of light that bound the Kaijuu's legs. Golzabamon fired lasers from his tail and spikes. The Advanced Biomergers jumped out of the way, but Golzabamon tail whipped Inumuramon down. The Kaijuu grabbed Terryamon and tossed him down. The beast then reached for Renrukimon, who spun around and roundhouse kicked its hand.

"Go for it, Guilkatomon!" Renrukimon shouted.

Having collected enough power in his fist, Guilkatomon propelled through the air. Suzaku's cloak formed over Guilkatomon.

'May our combined might defeat this monster!' Suzaku telepathed with Takato and Guilmon.

"YOU'RE GOING DOWN!" Guilkatomon roared as he flew past Golzabamon's hand. He reared his right fist back and threw it forward.

Bam!

Golzabamon and Guilkatomon's fists connected, creating a loud collision that echoed all over. Flames erupted from Guilkatomon's fists and engulfed Golzabamon's face. Golzabamon screeched in pain as it threw its head back. Guilkatomon quickly jetted forward and punched Golzabamon's chest. The Warrior of Suzaku's punch neutralized Golzabamon, giving Voltron enough time to recover.

Grabbing its sword, Voltron charged at Golzabamon.

"Voltron, over here!" Guilkatomon beckoned the giant robot over. He channeled Suzaku's flames through Voltron's sword.

"Hey, don't forget us!" Renrukimon called upon Seiryuu, who sent her energies to Voltron's sword.

'Let our energies slay this monstrosity!' Seiryuu declared.

Terryamon and Inumuramon, too, sent theirs, along with Genbu and Byakko's, energies to Voltron's weapon.

'May our energies be enough to defeat this abomination!' Genbu telepathed with Terryamon.

'Allow our righteous powers obliterate this aberration!' Byakko internally declared in Inumuramon's thoughts.

Ignited by the Spirit Beasts' powers, Voltron's sword truly lived up to its name and became a Blazing Sword.

"Whoa, he's powered up our sword!" Hunk gaped in awe.

"Now that's awesome," Lance grinned mischievously.

"Beautiful!" Pidge gleamed.

"Shiro?" Keith asked their leader.

Nodding, Shiro declared. "Let's end this!"

(End theme)

Golzabamon powered up. The dark purple aura resurfaced and enveloped Golzabamon. The earth shook and shattered under the Kaijuu's feet.

"We've got to hurry! He's not only about to blow up this planet but if we let it go, it'll spread its energy and destroy your universe!" Guilkatomon called to the Paladins.

Taking the blazing sword, Voltron swung down and slashed through Golzabamon. The burning sword opened up a giant fissure that split Golzabamon. The behemoth roared its final screeches and exploded into a blaze of defeat.

Boom!

The anomalous energy swirled out of the monster's remains, but Guilkatomon stopped and purified the evil source with his flames.

"And good riddance!" Guilkatomon scoffed.

Voltron stood in a victory pose with a burning sword in hand.

Guilkatomon collected Renrukimon and the others to celebrate their victory.

"Yes! That's the way, Paladins!" Coran cheered them inside the Castle-Ship.

Allura nodded and congratulated. "Well done, my Paladins."

Inside the Castle of Lions/Dimension: VLD-16

(Cue Royksopp - This Space)

"Whoa, so you're really just people, I mean humans?!" Lance gawked upon realizing the Advanced Biomergers being humans and Digimon partners. "And pets? That's all it took to turn into those things you became?"

"Don't mind Lance. He's doing his best to grasp your ability to fuse into one being," Pidge apologized for Lance's airheadedness. "He has incompatibility to assess new concepts."

"Hey!"

"See?"

Takato chuckled. "It's ok. Biomerging was mind-boggling for us, too."

Hunk checked out the Digimon. "So, these aren't your pets?"

"Ahem, we're their partners," Inumon cleared his throat. "We're more than just their pets."

"Yes, and we're being to grasp and assess situations as well as our human partners. We're deeply bonded based on our partnership and trust," Renamon said.

"I must say, you're very beautiful, Miss Renamon," Allura acknowledged the yellow vulpine. "And I'm not just judging based on your looks either."

"Thank you."

"The technology in this ship is incredible!" Henry examined the ship's interior. "Yamaki and his team would be in heaven here. Heck, I'm already about to hit cloud nine here!"

"I can show you the technology we've utilized," Pidge offered to tour Henry around.

Terriermon muttered to Coran. "He's a total tech geek with all this stuff."

"Ahah, it's quite all right." Coran laughed heartily.

Just then, a quartet of white Altean mice popped out and crawled up Henry. They hopped on Terriermon and tickled him.

"Ahahah, ya got me! Stop! I'm ticklish!"

"Oh, what are these little guys?" Henry asked.

"You could say they're our shipmates," Allura called the mice over to her. "They've been in suspended animation for 10,000 years much like myself."

"They're cute," Takato smiled as the mice crawled down Allura and went over to Guilmon.

"Hey, little guys!" Guilmon giggled loudly as the mice crawled upon his head. "You got names?"

"We call them our Space Mice," Pidge replied, who picked up the mice from Guilmon's head. "Don't let their size fool you, they've been very resourceful."

Inumon whispered to Himura. "Say, notice Allura isn't among the Paladins? Didn't you say she was?"

"Apparently in this dimension, she's simply a princess and a commander to the Paladins," Himura replied back. "I find it surprisingly one of the Paladins is a girl."

Rika approached Pidge. "And you're the sole girl Paladin."

"Y-Yeah…"

"Don't worry, I know what it's like to work in an all-boys club," she said, veering over to Takato, Henry, and Himura. "Well, I have Renamon and there are other girl Tamers back home, but we're the core four Beast Tamers."

Pidge nodded. "We have something in common then."

"Don't worry! You have me around if you want to settle down and chat girl talk!" Allura hugged Pidge from behind, almost squeezing the preteen to death.

"Choking me…!" Gasped Pidge.

Rika backed off. "...ok, I think I'll stand over here."

"Nonsense, you, too!" Allura pulled Rika over and hugged her. "We're in this together, ladies!"

Rika and Pidge both sweatdropped over Allura's eccentric behavior.

Renamon chortled. "At least you're making friends, Rika."

"So, these four Sacred Beasts grant you your special powers and battle forms?" Shiro asked Takato.

"Yeah, not only are we bonded with our Digimon, but our Beast Spirits. I'm obviously bonded with Suzaku the Phoenix Spirit. Henry is partnered with Genbu the Turtle Spirit. Rika and Seiryuu the Dragon Spirit are inseparable. Himura has Byakko the White Tiger Spirit. Being able to transform into Beast Tamer warriors became more convenient for us to fight alongside our Digimon. And recently, we've learned to Biomerge with our Digimon partners while still in our Beast Tamer forms."

"I think we're getting the gist of it all," Keith replied. "We couldn't have beaten that thing without y'all."

"That's so wicked cool the way you guys turned into super warriors!" Hunk's gleamed with giddiness showing on his face.

"So, I guess this planet is secure then?" Takato asked an important question.

"The Scarab Federation's forces illegally invaded this planet. By destroying them, we've liberated the natives here and getting rid of the monsters saved their planet," Coran plainly stated.

"That's good, though I hope y'all can avoid those bug freaks during your journey," Himura stated.

"Relax, we can handle them just like how we're gonna beat the Galra!" Lance boasted.

"With your powers, you can definitely help us whip the Galra's collective butts!" Hunk said.

"Wish we could, but we're due to leave," Henry replied. "I just got a message from Ryo."

"Awww," Hunk groaned.

"But it was good to help you defeat those monsters," Keith stated.

"Yeah, if those things had been left unchecked, they would've spread a dark power that would've destroyed your whole universe," Henry reminded them. "We only managed to track them with luck."

"We have much to thank for then," Allura said. "We're in your debt, Tamers."

"We're happy to aid dimensions in need," Takato said. "That's now part of our job description. Right, guys?"

The other Tamers and Digimon nodded in response.

(End theme)

After a few more minutes of conversation, a blue portal opened and Ryo Akiyama came out from it. Ryo beckoned the Beast Tamers and the Digimon over.

(Cue Neurotech - A Separate Way)

"Ready to go, gang?" Ryo asked them.

"Yeah," Takato said as he and Guilmon walked forward.

"Goodbye Tamers and best wishes on your future missions," Keith waved to them.

"You guys are so cool!" Hunk teared up seeing them go.

"Hope we can see each other again!" Pidge called to them. "Henry and Rika, it was good to know you!"

"Later, guys!" Lance said.

"Safe journey to you all," Shiro smiled.

"Until our paths cross again, I will pray for your journey home!" Allura said. "Thank you all."

The Tamers and the Digimon waved to the Paladins and the Altean pair. They crossed through the portal and departed with Ryo. And with that, they went back home.

"Man, what a team-up battle," Hunk sighed.

"I'm gonna miss them," Lance added.

"I already miss them," Pidge said.

"Hey, they have their mission ahead for them. We have ours," Shiro reminded his teammates.

"Yes, but let us remember them as honorary Paladins," Allura genuinely stated. "Their bravery will not be forgotten. They, much like you, have become legendary defenders."

Nonaka Family Shrine/Early-November 2011/Universe: YYGDM-01

Shortly after their mission, Rika decided to retire for the evening in her family shrine. Renamon left her to join Inumon to check on their pups. However, Rika wouldn't be leaving home in her town. Takato joined her on the way.

Both arrived at the shrine and sat outside to watch the stars in the sky.

"Man, that was one hell of an adventure, wasn't it, Rika?"

"Sure was. I never thought in a million years that Pidge was a girl in that dimension."

"Pidge was always a boy until now."

Rika smiled. "I think it's kinda cool this Pidge is a girl. Kinda balances out the princess not being one of the Paladins."

(Cue Digimon Tamers - Rika no Theme (Karaoke))

"Tell me about it," Takato leaned back, crossing both arms behind his head. "These missions do take a lot out of our free time… I mean, what between my classes and our jobs."

"I hardly have time to play card games."

He grinned mischievously. "We could play right now."

"Nah, too tired. Maybe tomorrow morning? So, are you staying over the night?"

"If that's ok…?"

Rika shrugged. "You know where to find the guest bedroom."

"Isn't that supposed to be Izumi's?"

"She just left with my mom for an important photoshoot for a magazine."

"Wow, congrats to her. She's making it big thanks to your mom."

Rika folded her arms over her legs and nodded. "Yeah, and to think that could've been me."

"I thought modeling was your forte?"

"No. Granted, I've done a few photoshoots with Izumi, but I made a condition I can dress however I want."

"You do look hot in punk girl wear."

Rika gawked at him. "Really?"

"But you look good in anything even a dress."

"Pfft, please!" She shoved a hand in his face. "You're just buttering me up!"

Just then, Takato grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes.

"I mean what I said, Rika."

Rika blushed and then scoffed. "Dork…" A smile crept on her face. She and Takato grabbed each other's hands and kissed under the moonlit night.

?-?

The Rebellious Witch, choosing to remain hidden behind a veil of darkness, entered one of her chambers to meet with the character named Specter. She caught a solitary woman with long dark hair and dressed in dark leather.

"Specter, I presume?" The Rebellious Witch inquired to the individual in question.

"Yes, madame," Specter answered in a haughty manner.

(Cue Madoka Magica: Rebellion OST - Raise the Curtain)

The Rebellious Witch addressed, wearing a calm smirk on her delicate, pale face. "I presume those items you're holding are the Hero Keys you've been collecting?"

"Indeed, and I intend to collect more to create your army. Now, which world do you want me to hit next?"

"The dimension called YYGDM-01, but be warned they have strength in numbers."

Specter giggled fiendishly. "Oh, you needn't worry. Not only do I work best in the dark, but I'm a master of disguise. They won't even know I'm an aberration like your organization's dark agents have been."

"Yes, but you also must be vigilant of your rival, whom you apparently left for dead," the Rebellious Witch said. With a wave of her hand, she conjured a visual that showed a woman with long purple hair and in a white Sailor Senshi uniform. A white kuda kitsune is visibly seen on the woman's shoulder. Accompanying the woman are Setsuna Meioh, John Smith, and Homura Akemi-Ouma.

"No! Curse that Spirit!" Specter snarled at the purple-haired woman's presence.

"It appears she was able to procure the services of a half-Time Lord and she's using his time dimensional transport. Or, TARDIS if you need to know."

"Damn! If she's found some Time Lord, even a hybrid… they're going to find me!"

"Even worse she's managed to secure the aid of the Time Guardian, Sailor Pluto, and Time Traveler, Homura Akemi. Your odds of outpacing them are not very good."

She cursed. "I need to work fast and collect more Hero Keys!"

"Yes, I would suggest you do just that," the Rebellious Witch coolly stated, her cold eyes narrowing.

"Then, I'll get on it!" Specter vowed, turning to make her leave. Damn you, Spirit! You're becoming a thorn in my side! With that, she teleported out of the plane and headed for the YYGDM-01 dimension.

Shifting her view to the screen, the witch meticulously watched Setsuna, John, Homura, and Spirit together. She narrowed her eyes toward Homura specifically, isolating the others from her view. Static appeared on the screen. She touched the screen seemingly caressing Homura's face.

"Oh yes, very soon, Homura."

A/N: What was supposed to be a November release is finally out. Either way, it's out!

The cold opening highlighted just a few notable dimension missions that will have occurred during this long stretch of time (which would take place over a span of half a year). And as you can tell, I only highlighted the DF-616 and other Digiteams. Oh, what could've been. Which of these universes would you have liked to seen told as a full chapter?

If you're reading this (and having read Valkyrie Advent chapter 4), that Rukato (Takato/Rika) moment must feel awkward considering what went down in VA, lol. Those reading VA know exactly what I mean.

Yes, I've undoubtedly used the Voltron: Legendary Defender continuity for this chapter. If you haven't seen and you have Netflix, what are you waiting for?! Granted, I was never the biggest Voltron (or Go-Lion going by the original title) fan. I've only seen bits of the old show ages ago. I didn't see The Third Dimension from the 90's; about the only thing I remember from that one is the intro. I did catch Voltron Force on Nicktoons a few years ago. That one was 'eh ok' and only watched it because it ran alongside DBZ Kai at the time. But Legendary Defender… wow, that one got me to binge over a whole weekend. I'll just say it was more than just cool robot battles. But hey that's what happens when you have the team that brought you Avatar: The Last Airbender and Legend of Korra behind it. Self reminder: Second Season will be out January 20, 2017!

This chapter was originally intended to be Evangelion, but since Takato and Rika already went there during Dawn of Chaos, and by Ford's suggestion, I went with Voltron: Legendary Defender. Furthermore, I didn't completely excise Eva. You got a boss monster that's part-Unit 01 (and part-Godzilla). So, besides Voltron, elements of EVA, Godzilla, Ultraman (Golza and Melba expies), and Super Robot are in this for anyone who likes giant robots and Kaijuu action.

Speaking of Korra, the entire cold opening was devoted to the Legendary Warriors in that world, which I set place during the end of Korra Season 2. With Korra and Voltron: LD included, we can call this chapter the Dos Santos/Studio Mir Power Hour (or Power Chapter).

The training segments are to show and not tell the Beast Tamers' training. While they are short, they get their point across (and poor Rika knows how Kari feels being trained by a lecherous old man; Supreme Digi-Deity be damned).

The chapter finally unveils the proper debut of the Beast Tamer's newest Biomerged forms: Advanced Biomergers. Pretty much they're the fully-powered Biomergers. The Beast Tamers are now parallel to the Legendary Warriors.

Quick rundown:

Beast Tamers (Human; Suzakato, Seirika, Henbu, Himakko) - H-Hybrid

Beast Tamers (Beast; Suzakato Phoenix Mode, Seirika Dragon Mode, Henbu Turtle Mode Himakko Tiger Mode) - B-Hybrid

Beast Biomergers (Tamers + Digimon + Sacred Beast Spirits; BlazeGallantmon, StormSakuyamon, QuakeGargomon, AuroraInumon) - Advanced-Hybrid

Advanced Biomergers (Tamers + Digimon + Sacred Beast Spirits; Guilkatomon, Renrukimon, Terryamon, Inumuramon) - Z-Hybrid

Golden Kirin - Susanoomon

Additionally, just because they're parallel to the Legendary Warriors doesn't necessarily mean they're on par in strength. The Beast Tamers (Human and Beast) may be on par with the H-Hybrid and B-Hybrid Legendaries. The Beast Biomergers are arguably stronger than the A-Hybrids since they're slightly powered up versions of the original Gallantmon and company. But no argument, the Advanced Biomergers are a step above the Z-Hybrids. Guilkatomon alone was strong enough to last against Teen-Reaper (granted, he didn't win) and was able to damage Golzabamon. He's an Ascendant 3-tier character. The other three are Ascendant 2-tier at best, due to lack of experience and needed improvements.

Post-credit scene: the Rebellious Witch meets Specter. This will segue way to the Dimension Mission arc's finale. This time it's a multi-parter and shall encompass our heroes pursuing the mysterious organization's latest recruit: Specter. But along the way, some of our heroes wind up in other worlds, including one eye-opener for the YYGDM leaders (Lycosyncer, if you're reading this part, this goes to you…)

Furthermore, the mystery behind Specter and Sailor Spirit's heated rivalry will be unveiled. Don't worry DFK followers, Omega X and the Ascendants have roles in this. There's no way I'm leaving them out of this event!

This ends the chapter. Sorry for this chapter's delay, but vacation got in the way. I won't be able to get the next CG chapter until the new year in January. Don't fret, look at it like this: it's a new arc and why not start with a bang? The rest of December will be devoted to Valkyrie Advent, holiday relaxation, and other personal things.

With that, comment and send a review!

Starting January, the Dimension Missions: Sojourner Travels kicks off the Cross Generations new year!

Until then, stay cool and Happy Holidays!
