Odaiba Park/Dimension: DF-616/May 4, 2012

Dimitri awoke on a park bench with Sedna & Faith, Tai & Agumon, Matt & Gabumon, Max & Gojiramon, Keke & Mosuramon, Sora & Biyomon, Mimi & Palmon, Kari & Gatomon, Madoka, Shu, Gai, and Kirito & Asuna (Corner) crowded around him.

"Karin…? Guys?" Dimitri stirred, clarifying his blurry vision. As he rose slightly disoriented, Mimi knelt down and hugged him.

"It's ok. You're safe," Mimi muttered kindly.

"Welcome back, bro," Keke genuinely smiled.

"M-Mother…? Mimi?" Dimitri replied, realizing this was present Mimi, but still his mother. He was trying to come to grips with the death of his mother. Seeing the present version of her was enough to calm him down.

"Dimitri? Are we glad you and Karin are ok!" Tai called out.

As Dimitri heard Tai, he quickly turned and gasped upon seeing him. He was immediately reminded of Black Omega X, who slew his mother before his eyes.

"YOU BASTARD!" Dimitri snapped as he lunged at Tai.

"DIMITRI! STOP!" Sedna called out.

"BRO!" Keke shouted.

Dimitri threw a right hand to Tai, who instinctively caught it with ease. However, Tai was surprised by his outburst.

"Dimitri?! It's me! Karin's already told us what happened! I'm not that guy!" The Bearer of Courage reasoned with him.

Slap!

Dimitri felt Mimi's hand smack him across the face. As he came to, Dimitri turned to Mimi, who hugged him again.

"Please stop. We already know what happened…" Mimi teared up. "I heard what happened to the future me. I'm… I'm so sorry, Dimitri."

"It's unforgivable what happened," Keke expressed disdain for the Black Ascendants.

"Mimi…" Dimitri whispered softly, hugging her tight. "Thanks for snapping me to my senses." He then apologized to Tai. "And I'm sorry for attacking you, Tai."

"I understand. You and Karin went through hell back there. And I know I'd be mad if I met this evil version of me," Tai said, determined to stop Black Omega X.

"But there's also a Black version of Angemon X, too. Sounds like we've got ourselves a handful of a battle," Max noted.

Matt walked over to Dimitri. "So, we're dealing with an evil version of Tai and you?"

"Yeah…"

"You're not going to let them get away with what they've done, are you?" The Bearer of Friendship asked his future son.

"Of course, I won't. I intend to beat them and avenge my mom."

"You won't do it alone," Tai addressed, getting Dimitri's attention. "This is our fight, too. Whoever this other me is, I want a crack at him for what he did to future Mimi."

"That's right, Dimitri. We're not letting these imposters get away with hurting others," Sora reassured.

"But how did they appear in your world? That's what I'm wondering," Kari wondered. "The Tai in your world has been long dead. Could this be that Tai? Maybe he was revived by someone who has it in for you?"

"That's a good question, Kari. Even mother doesn't know where Black Omega X and the Black version of me came from. It doesn't explain why there's an evil version of me."

"Clone perhaps? I don't think is the work of some Datamon plot since he's long gone in your world. Either way, we're going to beat these Black Ascendants," Max vowed to help Dimitri dealing with their new enemy.

Shu interjected. "Look, we're not personally close, but me and Gai totally get what it's like to see your world turned to ruin."

"Well, our world wasn't destroyed, but evil ruled our world for a long time until we resolved for peace," Gai added, slightly correcting Shu.

"Thank you," Dimitri nodded to Shu and Gai.

"Nothing to it. We're here when you need us," Madoka kindly said to Dimitri.

"Chin up and let us help in any way we can," Kirito (Corner) said with a confident smile.

"So, what now? Do we go to your world?" Asked Tai. "Is your time machine able to go another trip?"

"I'd have to go check, but there should be fuel for one more trip."

"Why waste that fuel when I can dimension cross us over to your world?" Sedna offered.

"That's a better and energy conserving solution," Max concurred with Sedna's idea.

"C'mon then, let's get going," Matt cracked his knuckles. "I know Yamato would be satisfied knowing he gets to shove his fist in another Tai's face."

'I don't care if he's a goodie-goodie dumbass or an evil conniving monster, I'm shoving my foot up this evil Tai's ass!' Yamato honestly added his opinions regarding Black Omega X. 'And double goes for that evil clone version of your boy, Matt.'

"Dimitri, whenever you're ready, we'll go," Tai stated but Dimitri turned away and looked up to the sky.

All Dimitri could visualize was the final moments of his mother's death and the Black Ascendants leaving a wave of chaos in their wake. He clenched his hands tight and gritted his teeth hard.

"Dimitri," Sedna muttered as she approached him.

"I just need a little time to decompress," he replied.

"Of course, and we'll be waiting while we mull things over some more," Max nodded.

"Take all the time you need, brother," Keke said.

"Thank you." With that, Dimitri started off and walked around Odaiba Park to clear his mind. Faith quickly accompanied his partner.

Sedna muttered. "Give him the company he needs, Faith."

Sora turned to Sedna. "Should we follow him?"

Sedna nodded dismissively. "Let's just give him some time to calm down. He needs it right now."

Just then, Beerusmon and Whismon appeared before the group. Tai and Max confronted the Digital God of Destruction and his Angel attendant.

"Pardon for the sudden appearance. We came here after Mimi promised us a cuisine. However as soon as he arrived, we couldn't help but hear your conversation about your friends leaving a timeline," Whismon spoke out.

"Yes, and we know this isn't the dimension traveling you and your friends have been doing as of late. This is actual time travel," Beerusmon said.

"Yeah, Dimitri used his time machine to bring him and Karin back here," Tai tried explaining the situation.

(Cue Hunter x Hunter OST - Scariness)

Nodding, Whismon replied. "No need to tell us, we heard all when I listened to your conversation through my staff. Tampering with time is a big no-no."

Beerusmon frowned. "Indeed, and nothing miffs me more than tampering with time."

"But, you seem to have no issues with us traveling to dimensions!" Sora said.

"Traveling into another universe isn't quite the same as time traveling. You see, when you're entering a whole different universe, what you do there won't have any consequence on your world. You won't be creating temporal paradoxes You can come and go as you please, though it's always best to tread carefully. That's why we made it clear to make your visits to those other worlds fairly short to prevent meddling with predetermined events. That's also why Lady Cosmos summoned dimension travelers like Ryo and Sailor Sedna to safeguard dimensions and escort outsiders from out of dimensions they're not supposed to be in. However, time traveling into the past or future of your own timeline is far more delicate matter," Whismon explained.

"That's where the timey wimey crap comes in, right?" Tai queried to the angel.

"That's correct. And we know your time traveling friend has already, but incidentally created diverged timelines from your core timeline after all these visits here." Whismon pointed out. "Not even us deities are allowed to time travel unfettered."

"Much less mortals like yourselves," Beerusmon added. "Perhaps we should destroy this time machine there?" He pointed to Dimitri's time machine. "Go ahead and call it damage control, but I can't let anyone just use this contraption before it winds up falling into malevolent hands."

"But, you can't punish Dimitri for all this! He's been through enough anguish!" Mimi interjected on her future son's behalf. "You want to punish anyone? Punish me. I'll end up giving birth to him in the future!"

Beerusmon shrugged. "Makes no difference to me."

"What did you say?!" Mimi spat out at the God of Destruction.

(End theme)

"Whoa, hold on, Mimi!" Keke cried out as she and Palmon restrained the flailing Mimi. "Are you freaking crazy?! He'll wipe you out!"

"I'd like to see him try!" Mimi fiercely shouted.

"Look, Lord Beerusmon. With all due respect, please don't punish Dimitri. Destroy the time machine if you want, but he's only ever used time travel for selfless reasons," Max spoke on behalf of Dimitri.

"Fine, Max Kamiya, but you owe me that cuisine like you promised, Mimi."

"Oh, thank god. Works for me!" Mimi called back.

"Yes, thank me, a god, for not destroying your world," Beerusmon then addressed Max and Tai. "Where is your time traveling friend?"

Tai chimed in. "He's… well, he's taking a walk in the park. He needs to clear his mind."

Whismon blinked with curiosity. "About what?"

The Bearer of Courage sighed and calmly answered Whismon. "He lost everything in his old home."

DF-811

"This is getting bothersome," Black Angemon X muttered with frustration. "They're no longer here. I can't sense either of their Ki anymore. It's like they vanished."

"Recall. You're wearing a body similar to Dimitri," Black Omega X said. "You also have his memories. Have you forgotten he's a time traveler?"

Focusing, Black Angemon X drew upon Dimitri's memories. "Yes, I now remember. That was his time machine."

"And they've likely traveled back to the past to warn their friends," Black Dramon X assumed.

"But where could he have gone?" Black Angemon X wondered.

"I can only think of two dimensions," Black Omega X pointed out. "One, the present timeline of this alternate future where the Chosen are still alive. Two, Dimitri's current residence: dimension YYGDM-01."

"So we'll have to chance to cross two dimensions?" Black Dramon X queried.

"I suggest we split up," Black Omega X said. "I'll take dimension DF-616 where I'll likely face that timeline's Taichi and company. You two take dimension YYGDM-01." Then, he raised his right fist and on his index finger was a ring There was a green gem embedded on it. "I'll open us the gateways."

With that, Black Omega X's ring gem glowed with life. Two thin beams of green light formed two separate portals. Black Omega X took the portal on the right. Black Angemon X and Black Dramon X went into the left portal.

"Happy hunting," the trio chuckled in unison.

Odaiba Park/Dimension: DF-616/May 4, 2012

After having some solitude to meditate, Dimitri walked back over to the group. He picked up Faith.

"Ok, I'm ready," Dimitri said.

"Were you able to clear your thoughts?" Max asked him.

"Yes, I did. I'm focused and ready to fight."

"That's the spirit, Dimitri," Tai was pleased with this. "Karin, we're ready. Open us a portal to the future world."

With a determined look, Sedna complied. "I'm on it."

"Wait, what did I just say about time travel?!" Beerusmon hounded them.

"Relax, Lord Beerusmon. Karin's just using her dimension power to open up…" Tai suddenly felt the urge to stop mid-sentence as he and Agumon felt a disturbance in the air.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - A Dangerous New Enemy – PokeMixr92 version)

Just then, a black portal opens in the sky. The heroes shift their attention toward it.

"Look up there!" Sora pointed to the ominous source.

"A portal, but who's opening it here?" wondered Biyomon.

"That's definitely not my doing or Ryo's," Sedna revealed, sensing a malicious vibe coming from it.

"Guys, there's a dark Ki coming out of it! Stand your ground!" Tai warned the group.

After a few moments, Black Omega X came out of the portal. The group was on their guard and stood their ground. There was a mix of shock and confusion etched on their faces. Dimitri, however, blanched and then conveyed anger toward the Black Ascendant.

"It's Black Omega X!" Dimitri shouted, preparing to grab his sword.

"So, you arrived in this time?" Black Omega X scanned the dimension. His eyes fell on Tai and the others. "Well, if you're here, your other home dimension has been left vulnerable to my other two colleagues."

"What?!" Dimitri and Sedna exclaimed in unison.

"Wait, there's a third one?" Matt asked. "Dimitri, why didn't you tell us there was a third?"

"I didn't…! We only saw two of them!"

"Exactly what he said," Sedna added. "We only ever saw two, but Mimi did mention a trio."

"Karin, we have to get back to our world. Athena and the others are in danger!" Dimitri exclaimed, fearing for his future daughter and other colleagues' lives. He turned to Tai. "Sorry, we have to cut this short."

"We understand. We'll hold off evil me," Tai nodded.

"Be careful, Dimitri and Karin," Keke nodded to them.

"Karin, you know what to do," Dimitri said as the Kuiper leader opened a portal straight to dimension YYGDM-01. He, Faith, and Sedna immediately jumped through the portal taking them to the other two Black Ascendants.

Whismon and Beerusmon meticulously eyed the Omega X-like newcomer. As his eyes narrowed, Whismon intently focused on Black Omega X's ring.

"Take a look closely on the index finger of his right hand."

Beerusmon eyed the ring suspiciously. "Wait, is that…?"

"It is. It appears something mystifying is taking place."

"Yes, I'm most curious about his story."

Black Omega X grunted and shifted his eyes on Tai. "Ah, you're Taichi Kamiya."

"And you're the Black me," Tai acknowledged his Black counterpart.

"Damn, he looks just like you!" Shu exclaimed in shock.

"That's the monster who looks like Tai?" Mimi frowned upon seeing Black Omega X.

"Except he doesn't have that gentle and goofy look I like so much about you, Tai," Sora observed Black Omega X's demeanor, which was a stark contrast to her Tai.

"The darkness around him is so intoxicating," Kari shuddered, backing away to recollect herself. Gatomon tended to her.

Black Omega X continued eyeing each group member. He noted the Chosen present. "So Yamato, Sora, Mimi, and Hikari are among you. Yes, even you're here, Max Kamiya." He caught glimpse of Beerusmon and Whismon. "Hmm, Lords Beerusmon and Whismon, too." He then shifted over to Shu, Gai, Madoka, and Kirito & Asuna (Corner). "Newcomers? Doesn't matter who you are, you'll all be dealt with divine justice."

"I don't know who you are, but you're not our Tai," Max addressed Black Omega X.

Matt scoffed. "I don't care who you are, but you're an imposter."

"We can take him together," Keke added.

Suddenly, Tai and Agumon both floated over toward Black Omega X. The Black Ascendant turned his sights toward them. Tai looked like he was staring at a mirror seeing a darker variation of Omega X.

"Man, you really got my look down to a fault," Tai scanned Black Omega X.

"Yeah, it's scary similar," Agumon noted.

"So nice to meet you, Taichi Kamiya, the Bearer of Courage," Black Omega X acknowledged him.

"I don't care who you are, you've crossed the line destroying Dimitri's world and killing someone close to him," Tai said as his Crest of Courage symbol flared up, enveloping him and Agumon in a golden light that merged them into Omega X. "I'll take you on in Dimitri's place!"

"It'd be an honor," Black Omega X replied. "I also want to fight you using this body."

"In this body?" Omega X blinked in curiosity.

"There's no need for me to give you an overly convoluted explanation. I don't think your tiny brain can handle it."

"Now let's not get persona-" Before Omega X can finish, Black Omega X quickly formed a dark Ki ball and tossed it to Omega X.

Omega X quickly braced himself and took the ball head-on. However, the ball expanded and overpowered Omega X, pushing him far back and away out of the city.

"Tai!" Kari cried out as she and Gatomon combined to become Celesta X.

Matt and Gabumon shared the former's Crest of Friendship light that turned them into Metalla X.

As Max powered up, he, Gojiramon, Celesta X, Metalla X, and Keke & Mosuramon took off following Omega X and Black Omega X.

"Hey, wait up!" Shu called out to them.

Just then, Madoka produced wings on her back to grant her flight. She then cast wings on Shu, Gai, and Kirito & Asuna (Corner), giving them flight mobility.

"None of you can fly, so why don't I give you a way to fly?" Madoka smiled at them.

"Thanks a lot, Madoka," Gai said. "Now onward!"

Sora and Mimi used their Digivices to evolve their partners to Mega. Sora flew onto Phoenixmon's feet and they both headed off. Mimi grabbed Rosemon's hands as the Digimon carried her forward.

"Hey, aren't you two coming?!" Mimi called out as Rosemon carried her off.

"Nope, this is Taichi and company's battle to fight! Not ours!" Beerusmon immediately responded. "But, that doesn't mean we still don't have an investment in this conflict. I'm intrigued to learn of this newcomer."

Whismon nodded. "As you say, my lord."

By the time the group arrived, they found Omega X being slammed into a cargo ship. Omega X's impact caused a dent on the side of the ship.

"TAI!" Sora, Mimi, Celesta X, and Max called out to him.

Omega X chortled as he pulled himself off the ship and floated over to Black Omega X.

"That couldn't have been your full strength," Omega X remarked. "If you're using my body, you'd know there's more power to use. Well, am I right?"

Black Omega X smirked. "But of course. How interesting you're evaluating me against you."

"Now let's see you try me at full power!" Omega X powered up.

"Yes, that infamous Ascendant power," Black Omega X chuckled.

"Here we come!" Declared the Bearer of Courage. He launched straight at Black Omega X and engaged him in fisticuffs.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Fistfight Battle)

As Omega X missed a punch, Black Omega X went for a right cross, but Omega X folded both legs over his arm and flipped him over. Black Omega X fell and barely landed over the water's surface. Omega X unleashed a Ki barrage. The rain of Ki blasts exploded around Black Omega X, who simply held himself in place.

"Yeah, take that!" Gojiramon cheered.

"He's not done yet," Max noted as a dark aura swept away the smoke covering the area.

Black Omega X emerged through the smoke unscathed. A thick black aura enveloped over him.

The Black Ascendant chortled calmly. "Incredible. So this is the power of Ascendant Omega X!"

"So, he's got Tai's thrill for a fight," Sora sighed. "Guess that can't be helped."

"Except this Tai is out to kill us," Phoenixmon stated.

"Something's about to happen," Max muttered.

Just then, Black Omega X powered up and flew up to meet Omega X.

"So strongest among the Ascendants, show me more of your power," Black Omega X demanded. He didn't waste time and shot up to attack Omega X with fisticuffs.

As Omega X dodged and parried, Black Omega X kept up with quick and deadly ferocity. Black Omega X went on the offense smiling evilly and seemingly enjoying himself. He quickly broke through Omega X's defenses and gut punched the Ascendant. As Omega X doubled over, Black Omega X kicked him far back. Black Omega X unleashed a Ki barrage on Omega X, who flew off luring the beams away from the cargo ships. Blasts exploded upon hitting the water.

Omega X swerved to the opposite side and shot up in front of Black Omega X. The two Ascendants once again exchanged quick fisticuffs. Both matched punch and kick. Eventually, both had the same idea and simultaneously punched each other. Their fists buried into each other's faces.

"They're evenly matched!" Asuna (Corner) exclaimed.

"I don't think I can keep up with them," Shu remarked.

Metalla X snorted. "That other Tai hasn't even transformed yet. Why?"

Max speculated. "He has to be hiding reserves. I doubt this is all he has."

Omega X and Black Omega X cautiously pulled away from each other.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Omega X inquired.

"I can ask the same from you. I'm enjoying this a little too much to rush. Our death battle will come with time. Let's just enjoy our exhibition!" Black Omega X replied.

(Cue Persona 4 OST - I'll Face Myself -Battle-)

"Screw that!" Omega X flew at Black Omega X and unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks. After a succession of blows countered, Omega X landed a right jab to his Black doppelganger's face. He then followed up with a series of punches into his face and one jab in the gut.

When Omega X went for a left jab, Black Omega X ducked his head and snatched his opponent's left arm. He then spun Omega X around and tossed him into a rock face.

Before preparing for another attack, the dark rift started pulling him in. As he felt the force from the rift paralyze him, Omega X flew up and kicked him hard in the chest. After kicking him far back, Omega X hastily flew right after him. Black Omega X grunted hard and grasped his left side. Omega X stopped halfway and charged up for an attack.

However, Omega X heard a low chortle coming straight from Black Omega X. The Black Ascendant chuckled and raised his head. A sadistic smile adorned his face as if he was relishing the pain from Omega X's punishing blows.

(End theme)

"Hehehe, well done, Taichi! The more pain you give me, the stronger I become!" Black Omega X snickered.

"Great, a masochist…" Omega X sardonically muttered.

Just then, Black Omega X powered up again. A black veil of energy enveloped his whole body. Omega X felt an immense power erupt from the aura and nearly got brushed back.

"Oh, crap…!" Omega X gaped.

"Oh joy, he's getting stronger," Sheila sighed.

"Tai! Be on guard!" Max called out to the Bearer of Courage.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Zamasu's Overwhelming Power)

Black Omega X fired off a quick energy blast that Omega X caught in time. However, the beam grew big enough to cover Omega X whole. Omega X shoved the beam straight into the air. Then, Black Omega X quickly slipped above Omega X and kicked his face, sending him crashing into the ground and right near the time machine.

"No, the time machine!" Max exclaimed.

Catching sight of Dimitri's time machine, a devious idea came to Black Omega X's mind. However, before he could take swift action, Omega X quickly shot up and punched his chest. Black Omega X was knocked away, but he rebounded and clashed fists with Omega X. With opposing energy auras flying off their bodies, their bare knuckles pressed hard against the other.

Then, Black Omega X's time ring started to go off. This triggered the rift to open up and pull Black Omega X in.

"Hey, where are you going?!" Omega X demanded.

"I don't know how it happened, but that rift's opening up now," Max pointed to the portal.

"And taking him with it," BanchoLeomon said.

"Hopefully he never comes back," Celesta X muttered.

"Oh no! Look!" WarAngemon quickly pointed to Black Omega X charging an energy beam and blasting Dimitri's time machine away.

"NO!" Keke cried out as she flew over and tried to put out the fires.

With a conniving grin, Black Omega X passed through the time rift.

"We will meet again, Taichi and company! And next time, it'll be to the death!" The Black Ascendant laughed as the rift closed in front of him.

(End theme)

"No, Dimitri's time machine!" Keke cried out.

Shu, Gai, Kirito (Corner), and Asuna (Corner) tried to help put the flames out. With a shot from her arrow, Madoka put out the raging fire. All that remained was time machine debris. Any chances of Dimitri returning on his own were shot.

"This is bad. Dimitri can't ever go back to his time," Mimi sighed sadly.

"That's not true. Remember Karin can still dimension travel him there if need be," Metalla X reminded her.

"Yeah, thankfully he has Karin and her dimension hopping ability," Keke said.

"This is too bad. I need to tell Homura about this when she comes back with Sailor Pluto and John," Madoka stated.

"One of us is gonna have to tell Dimitri about this," Omega X added as he watched Max collect some of the time machine debris.

"I'll do it," Max nodded. "Besides, I forgot to tell him to put it away before he left to clear his head."

"It'll be ok. We won't need a time machine to look for this guy. Still, I'm worried about Dimitri and Karin now," Omega X said, staring over the time machine remains. "They're about to face two Black Ascendants. I hope they can stop them!"

(Cue Hunter x Hunter OST - Unsettled Conditions)

Meanwhile, Beerusmon and Whismon remained neutral on the matter. However, they were also growing suspicious about Black Omega X's possession of the mysterious ring. Moreover, Omega X sensed a familiar essence of power when clashing against Black Omega X's sinister aura. The Ascendant couldn't put his finger quite like it, but he felt a similar energy wavelength recently. Omega X wondered if the two deities noticed this, too.

Unbeknownst to the group, Soma Saitou watched the group from a rooftop. He set his sights firmly on one individual: Max. Having suppressed his presence, Soma walked away undetected and saw a portal open for him.

Soma muttered before hopping into the portal. "Max Kamiya, we'll be meeting soon."

Metalla X snarled as he stirred next to Mimi. "The next time that Tai doppelganger shows up, I'm ending his existence!"

The Bearer of Sincerity sighed. "Welcome back, Yamato. Or, do you like being called Yamakins?" She then stopped and realized. "Dimitri! Oh no, what about Dimitri and Sedna?!"

"They're in danger!" Keke exclaimed.

"Hopefully their friends can give them the help they'll need," Omega X muttered, recovering from Black Omega X's attack.

National Diet Building/Chiyoda, Tokyo/Japan/Dimension: YYGDM-01/May 11, 2012/4:30 PM

(Cue Persona 5 OST - Restlessness)

Switching to YYGDM-01's dimension in Tokyo, there is an outside campaign at the Diet showing the xenophobic businessman named Cain Bearer, who is rallying a group of loyal supporters chanting for his campaign.

Cain has plans to rid the world of Meta-beings with the power to defy them back. One of his goals is to become prime minister that might happen in December 2012.

In distance, a group of heroes witnessed the rally: Moon, Yusuke, Kensuke & Veemon, Takato & Guilmon, Rika & Renamon, Henry & Terriermon, and Kotori. Their expressions are disgusted, knowing that this will allude to the eventual Defiant conflict.

"And starting today, I throw my name in the race to be nominated as a prime minister candidate!" Cain made his declaration as his blind supporters cheered and rallied in front of him. "I vow to see to it that Metas pay for their irresponsibility and disregard for normal hard-working citizens! Under me, Meta activity shall decrease a hundred-fold. I vow to make Tokyo a safer place. And I hope the registered heroes from Legend HQs will be so kind to help me bring down the Meta pestilence. I'm sure wherever you are, you are considering my offer."

Kensuke yelled out. "You suck! Kiss my ass!" However, his insult was drowned out by Cain's loyal supporters' loud cheers.

"Does this asshole really believe everything he says?" Kotori scoffed, rolling her eyes.

"Yes, and that's what makes him dangerous sadly," Henry pointed out.

"So, he's like old Yamaki but to the tenth power. Yep, he's gonna be such a swell guy to deal with," Terriermon sardonically remarked.

"Can't believe he's even being given a mouthpiece to speak on," Rika said disgustedly.

"Can we go? I've just about heard enough," Takato said, covering his ears.

"Not until he turns and I shoot him in the back of his stupid head," Yusuke threatened to use a weak Spirit Gun to hassle Cain.

"I don't like Cain either, but let's not resort to violence, guys. We're better than that," Sailor Moon said, painstakingly eyeing Cain and his supporters. "The best we can do is watch him in the shadows. All right, let's go."

Kotori sighed with relief. "About damn time."

(Cue Two Steps From Hell - Perfect Assassination)

Just then, an explosion occurred that got Cain and his supporters' attention. They turned to the sky to see two dark figures: Black Angemon X and Black Dramon X.

The crowd of Cain's fanatics fled in terror upon seeing the Black Ascendant duo, while Cain stands in aghast with his eyes widened.

"Who-Who are you, intruders?!" Cain shouted at the two dark angels.

"Heh, we are your executioners," Black Dramon X answered insidiously.

Black Angemon X nodded in disappointment. "To think there are humans that are so overly bigoted. You are a sole example of leading the growing filth of the populace to eradicate meta-powered beings and thus hindering co-existence."

"On top of spreading hate like those shitty hate journals in the internet realm. Now, time for you to die. Die for your sins, mortal filth," Black Dramon X declared as he lobbed a black Ki blast at Cain.

Suddenly, Kensuke jumped in to deflect the Ki blast to the sky as the energy exploded like a firecracker. The rest of the heroes interjected as well.

"Stop right there!" Sailor Moon demanded, pointing to the Black Ascendant duo.

"Hey, it's Dimitri and Kensuke!" Guilmon exclaimed.

"No, I'm right here, Guilmon," Kensuke corrected Takato's Digimon.

"They look just like Dimitri and Kensuke's Ascendant forms, but who are they?" Takato wondered.

Renamon replied vaguely. "Whoever they are, they're not Dimitri and Kensuke. There are malevolent forces behind their exteriors."

"Very astute of you," Black Angemon X responded to Renamon's keen senses.

"But I doubt you have a grasp of who we really are," Black Dramon X remarked.

"If you ask me, all I see are two assholes acting high and mighty," Kotori retorted. "Not like we care for Cain, but when you put people's lives in danger, we're here to respond. Simple as that."

Yusuke looked over and saw Cain crawl away. "Hey, you. If you don't wanna get smeared on a wall, you'd get your hostile ass out of here."

"Telling me to leave my campaign post? You imbecile, don't you know who you're…!"

Yusuke seized Cain by the collar and growled in his face. He tossed Cain aside.

"Are you deaf, old man?! Get your ass moving or I'll light your sorry ass!" Yusuke threatened, almost readying a Spirit Gun.

Nodding, Cain took heed of Yusuke's threat and bolted off in a hurry. He spotted Grace Groves, his chauffeur/bodyguard, waiting for him near their limo.

"Get us out of here, Grace! On the double!" Cain yelled out, jumping into his limo.

Grace wasted no time and drove them away from the scene. Cain looked over through his rearview window, observing the heroes confront the Black Ascendant duo.

Black Dramon X scoffed. "That xenophobic mortal got away. No matter, the rest of you will do."

Black Angemon X smirked evilly. "Seeing you're affiliated with that time traveler, we'll deal you before he returns."

Just then, a dimensional portal opened up in between the heroes and the Black Ascendant duo.

"Dimitri!" Takato yelled out, elated to see him.

"Sedna, great timing!" Moon shouted to her.

"No kidding. You're not gonna believe this…!" Kotori said as Dimitri and Sedna faced the Black Ascendant duo.

"So good to have you join us, Dimitri," Black Angemon X acknowledged his presence.

"Actually, now we have our counterparts together. That completes the circle," Black Dramon X said, eyeing Kensuke.

"I don't know who the hell you are, but you've just earned yourself an ass-kicking for using my likeness," Kensuke frowned toward Black Dramon X. "Ready to fight, Veemon?!"

"Let's kick some butt, Ken!" Veemon chimed.

"Do your worst," Black Angemon X descended with Black Dramon X.

Dimitri & Faith merged to become Angemon X. Ken & Veemon merged to become Dramon X. Takato & Guilmon merged into BlazeGallantmon. Rika & Renamon merged into StormSakuyamon. Henry & Terriermon merged into QuakeGargomon. Kotori transformed into Brunhilde.

"Hehehe. Let the battles begin," Black Dramon X sinisterly cackled.

(Cue Koutetsujou no Kabaneri OST – JAnoPAN)

The fight against the two dark angels began and swept across Tokyo.

Angemon X, Sedna, Moon, BlazeGallantmon engaged Black Angemon X. Angemon X and Black Angemon X clashed with their swords above the sky. Angemon X executed a strong slash, but Black Angemon X evaded. Sedna fired icicle shards to hit the Black Ascendant. BlazeGallantmon charged with his shield and smashed into Black Angemon X. Black Angemon X threw the Beast Biomerger off, but BlazeGallantmon recovered and fired blazing beams at Black Angemon X. Black Angemon X uses his wings to dispel the beams.

Then, Black Angemon X sighted an area in the distance from the fight. Surprisingly, it's Tokyo Disneyland, with a lot of happy people and tourists. Black Angemon X's gives a twisted expression.

"That looks like a pleasant place to wipe out!" Black Angemon X unleashed a huge Black Big Bang Attack out of sheer spite, to which the large blast descended on Disneyland.

However, Sailor Moon quickly formed a huge dome-like barrier made out of moon energy to protect Tokyo Disneyland and dissolved the Black Big Bang Attack. The people seeing this cheered for Sailor Moon and the other heroes' presence.

"Don't you even dare destroy this theme park inspired by children's dreams and hopes!" Moon angrily chastised the hope destroyer.

"That is so low of you!" BlazeGallantmon shouted in Takato's voice.

Meanwhile, Dramon X, Yusuke, Brunhilde, StormSakuyamon, and QuakeGargomon all ganged on Black Dramon X. They go into mid-air flight battle that's close to the Tokyo Imperial Palace. Civilians on the ground ran escaping from the battle site.

Yusuke fired his Spirit Gun. StormSakuyamon and QuakeGargomon threw their storm and large boulders respectively. The three attacks converged to hit Black Dramon X, but the Black Ascendant unleashed a flurry of energy blades that destroyed them all. Black Dramon X is then hit from behind by Brunhilde. In return, the Valkyrie then unleashed Valhalla Frozen Inferno. Black Dramon X used a barrier to dispel it.

Then, Black Dramon X gets assaulted by Dramon X. With both recovering for another strike, Dramon X and Black Dramon X fly around the Imperial Palace attacking fisticuffs and Ki blasts. Dramon X threw a Ryuken Star at his evil counterpart, only for Black Dramon X to crush it with his sole hand.

"Nice try, but how about mine?" Black Dramon X taunted as he threw his Black Ryuken Star at Dramon X.

Dramon X became agitated as he slashed at the opposing attack.

"You know, all you're doing is just copying my attacks and corrupting them. You're such a boring piece of crap." Dramon X scoffed as he powered up to his Ascendant God form and wielded his Star Breaker blade.

"Hmm?" Black Dramon X blinked. Something in his mind and body seemed to click upon seeing Dramon X transform into Ascendant God form.

Black Angemon X briefly paused and noticed the divine aura permeating off Dramon X. Before he had a chance to further assess, Angemon X jabbed him in the face and sent him flying toward Black Dramon X. The Black Ascendants braced themselves as the heroes closed in on them.

"Ready?!" Dramon X yelled out as he and Angemon X prepared to fight them off.

Just then, the same dark rift that pulled Black Omega X in did the same with these two. Both became annoyed with the notion they were being pulled from the fight before things just got heated up.

"Hey, they're leaving!" BlazeGallantmon exclaimed.

"Running away from us?!" Sailor Moon chastised the Black Ascendant duo.

"This is unexpected, but don't celebrate too long. We will be back," Black Angemon X smirked evilly as he and Black Dramon X were being pulled through the rift.

"Oh no you don't!" Angemon X shouted as he flew ahead to stop them.

"You're not getting away!" Dramon X called out as he and Angemon X flew in to seize their Black doppelganger.

Before they can reach them, the Black Ascendant duo were pulled through the rift and vanished seemingly without a trace. Dramon X attempted Instant Movement to follow them, but he could no longer sense their presence.

(End theme)

"Not good. They're gone!" Dramon X snarled, lowering his fingers from his forehead.

"And who knows what dimension they're heading for now. There's far too many to guess…" Sedna gasped. "Oh no, Athena!"

"She's ok," Brunhilde reassured Sedna. "She's at your place right now."

"Regardless, we should go and check up on her," Angemon X suggested to Sailor Sedna.

"Yeah, you're right," Sedna said as she glanced over to Dramon X. "Brother, are you coming?"

Staring off into space, Dramon X didn't answer.

"Brother?"

"Yeah, I'm coming," Dramon X said as he kept his gaze on the spot where the rift opened up and grabbed the two Black Ascendants.

BlazeGallantmon approached Sailor Moon. "What do you think? Looks like we have some evil Ascendants to deal with."

Sailor Moon simply nodded, unsure what to make of this scenario. "I don't even know where to begin. Who or what are they?"

Paris, France/Dimension: Character Corner

(Cue Illidiance – Deformity)

In the city of Paris, a battle has already happened with civilians seen running and panicking outside. The battle shows Skuld (Corner), Philippe (Corner), Artemismon (Corner), and Philippe's Duel Monsters (The Moon Fairy Trio and Storming Wynn) (Corner) facing a new enemy.

To their shock, this enemy looked like Brunhilde, except she has long light rose hair, light skin, black armor with light gray trim, rose bodysuit underneath, black helmet trimmed with light gray edges and three rose feathers each, an ax shaped blade in the helmet, rose wings, black boots, rose eyes, and rose earrings. She is Black Brunhilde.

Black Brunhilde purred with evil delight. "What a nice romantic night in Paris, isn't it? Of course, I decided a little flavor of chaos would spice things up tonight."

"Kotori?" Philippe (Corner) was befuddled.

"No, that's not Kotori. I don't know who she is, but she's not our Brunhilde!" Skuld (Corner) snarled, glaring intensely at Black Brunhilde. "Plus, you know our Kotori hates pink."

"Oh yeah!" Philippe (Corner) recalled. "All right, you fake. Nice try, but we know you're not my cousin!"

Black Brunhilde shrugged. "Oh, too bad. I so wanted to fool you like the gullible mortals you are, but can't be helped. You'll die here regardless."

Artemismon (Corner) readied her arrows. "Yeah? Let's see you try, bitch!"

Black Brunhilde's calm smirk became a twisted grin. "Ok, I will! Come at me then!"

Skuld (Corner) and her group charged at Black Brunhilde. Philippe's Duel Monsters (Corner) attack with their magic and wind powers, but Black Brunhilde repelled by unleashing Black Valhalla Frozen Inferno that easily burned the Duel Monsters to a crisp, killing them like cannon fodder.

"Oh no!" Philippe (Corner) cried out and turned to Black Brunhilde, "You'll pay for killing my friends!"

Skuld (Corner) used her chains to ensnare Black Brunhilde, while Philippe (Corner) and Artemismon (Corner) teamed up to deliver combos on the dark Valkyrie. Black Brunhilde then easily freed herself and parried Philippe (Corner) and Artemismon (Corner)'s assaults. Then, Skuld (Corner) phased behind Black Brunhilde and is about to cut her in half with her scythe, but Black Brunhilde leaped above to evade. Black Brunhilde unleashed black & rose fire and ice attacks. Skuld (Corner) fired her green hellish flames to dissolve Black Brunhilde's barrage.

Black Brunhilde mounted a comeback and she brutally tackled Skuld (Corner). Skuld (Corner) tried to counter, but Black Brunhilde grinned seeing this coming and delivered a beat down before sending her crashing to a wall.

"Now to do this!" Black Brunhilde charged at her opponent with her blade.

However, Philippe (Corner) jumped in and took the blow. It is a reminder of his YYGDM-01 self's sacrifice to protect Brunhilde (YYGDM-01) from Mist (YYGDM-01). Philippe (Corner) is stabbed by Black Brunhilde, to which the Black Valkyrie gave an evil smile in knowing what she's doing unlike Mist (YYGDM-01)'s initial surprise.

(End theme)

"PHILIPPE!" Skuld (Corner) cried out in shock and horror.

Black Brunhilde then released her blade from Philippe's (Corner) body as Philippe (Corner) fell down to the ground. Philippe's (Corner) bloodied body became cold as his life force fading.

"YOU BITCH!" Artemismon (Corner) shouted as she charged at Black Brunhilde, only for the Black Valkyrie to easily slash her apart and killing her. "I'm sorry… Philippe…" Artemismon (Corner) burst into data and died.

(Cue Bloodborne OST – Darkbeast)

Then, Black Brunhilde flew up to the sky and mounted her partner called Crimson Sleipnir. She opened her hand, revealing and holding the Black Force Crystal.

"Show me. Release your CAPITALIZE slash bold slash italics anger, Skuld!" Black Brunhilde goaded while using the crystal's power. "Let's raise some hell!"

Skuld's mind snapped as she looked up. Her eyes glowed red with fury and green hellish flames engulfed her. In response to her growing fury, the green flames spread like wildfire and swept across Paris.

"YOU WILL DIE!" Skuld screamed with bloody murder as her roars spread throughout Paris.

Then, like a bomb, the flames erupted and exploded, sending more destructive power that wiped out Paris nearly from the map.

Seeing the deed is done, Black Brunhilde evilly laughs as she and Crimson Sleipnir leave the destroyed area.

(Cue Two Steps From Hell - From The Heart of Paris)

It is the aftermath of Paris' destruction. All buildings are left in ruins, the Eiffel Tower is falling apart, and over 12 million people are accidentally killed by Skuld (Corner), which includes Sasha's parents and Philippe's parents (Kotori's aunt/uncle).

Skuld (Corner) comes to her senses while holding Philippe's (Corner) dead body. Her eyes widened in both anger and tears, and her facial expression is distorted. Garm (Corner) materializes over to his master to comfort her.

"Lady Skuld…" Garm (Corner) tried to comfort her.

Skuld (Corner) looked up, holding Philippe (Corner)'s corpse. Blood trickled down from both sides of her mouth where she bit her lips.

"PHILIPPE, IN YOUR NAME… I WILL HUNT DOWN AND KILL THIS IMPOSTER BRUNHILDE! I SHALL BURN HER UNTIL THERE'S NOTHING LEFT!"

Alfheim/Dimension: Character Corner

(Cue Dinosaur - The Courtship)

In the realm of the Light Elves, the elves are seen doing their daily lives in their forest town. In the top of a tall tree, a Leptictidium observing. This is Gondul (Corner). It has been months since being Alfheim's guardian, reminding her of her former role protecting her village prior to her Valkyrie awakening.

Then, two elves approach the tree and see Gondul (Corner) above. These elves are a lesbian couple and are part of the group called the Nine Realm Defenders. One is a lipstick Light Elf who has blond hair whose length reaches to the shoulders, heterochromia eyes (green on the right and purple on the left), fair skin, white shirt, green skirt, and green shoes named Ellen. The other is a butch Dark Elf, named Nicolle, whose white hairstyle is tomboyish, dark gray skin, and wearing dark teal and black Goth clothing.

"Hey, Gondul!" Ellen happily cried out.

Gondul (Corner) looked down at the two as she turns back to normal and jumped down to the ground. She responded, "Hey there, what are you two doing?"

"We're just checking, knowing you're taking your job seriously here," Nicolle answered.

"Someone's got to defend Alfheim, though I did have some free time of professional fighting across the realms as promised," Gondul (Corner) stated before talking to herself. "Even so, I feel that I miss my home village somewhat. If I can ever come back to visit."

(End theme)

Just then, an explosion occurred.

"What was that?!" Nicolle exclaimed.

Gondul (Corner) and the lesbian elves then rushed forward to the forest town. The civilian elves are seen running in panic from the intruder. Gondul (Corner), Ellen, and Nicolle make it in time to confront it.

(Cue Attack on Titan Season 2 – Opening Theme)

They see a dark figure that looks like Gondul, but she has long rose hair, dark brown skin, rose wings, black armor with white trim, rose right eyepatch, black metal helmet with metal wings attach, rose gloves, rose skirt, black boots, rose eyes, and rose earrings. Her name is Black Gondul.

"Who are you, and why do you look like me?!" Gondul (Corner) territorially roared.

Black Gondul answered otherwise, "I'm here to briefly challenge you."

Black Gondul does a fighting stance, wielding her Dark Spear. Gondul (Corner) does her stance, wielding her Light Spear.

"We'll back you up!" Ellen exclaimed with she and Nicolle fighting alongside the Light Valkyrie.

Gondul and Black Gondul charge at one another with their spears. Gondul struck first, but Black Gondul jumped and tried to stab her opponent from above. Gondul evaded and delivered a kick to Black Gondul's back. Black Gondul recovered but saw Ellen creating constructs and wielding a bow, firing arrows at Black Gondul. Black Gondul dodged the arrows, only to be sucker punched by Nicolle's glowing light purple fist.

Gondul shape shifted into a cheetah as she summons Geri & Freki (Corner). Black Gondul shape shifted into an Acrocanthosaurus as she summoned Scarlet Geri & Freki. Black Gondul charged in about to bite Gondul, but Gondul leaped above the theropod's back with fast speed and delivered claw attacks. Geri & Freki (Corner) are fighting off Scarlet Geri & Freki with biting and slashing. Black Gondul tried to shake Gondul off, only to be distracted by Ellen's arrows firing at the beast's body. With Nicolle's feet glowed in light purple, she kicked Black Gondul's leg and tripped the theropod down. Gondul leaped back to the ground.

Black Gondul recovered quickly as she changed back to normal and backs off. Gondul turned back to normal as both stared down.

(End theme)

Suddenly, Black Gondul stopped the fight and gave an arrogant smirk. Scarlet Geri & Freki are called off as they disappear. Geri & Freki (Corner) disappear while being called off.

"We should stop the fight for now. I'm afraid you have other worries about your...former home."

"Former home…?!" Gondul (Corner) questioned before she realizes in shock what she meant.

Black Gondul disappeared as Gondul (Corner) frantically flies off leaving Alfheim.

"Gondul!" Ellen cried out to the Valkyrie, but no use as the Light Valkyrie already left the realm.

Ayanna's Village/Great Rift Valley, Kenya/Dimension: Character Corner

(Cue Two Steps From Hell - African Sunset)

Once Gondul (Corner) quickly made it back to her home village, she came to a catatonic shock.

The village was destroyed in flames, caused by Black Gondul's light destruction that quickly wiped it out. Every native was killed with their bodies lying dead. All the animals that Ayanna swore to protect are slaughtered, specific dead bodies seen are the elephant herd. Needless to say, Gondul (Corner)'s mind was absolutely devastated.

"My home… it can't be…" Gondul (Corner) looked on in aghast. "Is there anyone there?!"

As Gondul (Corner) walked around the village in fear, she heard an injured child's voice and turned to see Anuli (Corner). The young boy was barely able to get up as he's seen with bruises.

"ANULI!" Gondul (Corner) rushed towards him.

"Ayanna…!" Anuli (Corner) saw her before something pierced through the African child's chest, making him cry out in pain.

Gondul's (Corner) eyes watched in shock as it's a Dark Spear that skewered Anuli (Corner). Anuli (Corner)'s life force fades as he falls dead. Gondul (Corner) angrily turned to the sky to see none other than Black Gondul.

"This is what happens when you abandon them." Black Gondul taunted. "You betray their trust!"

"Damn you!" Gondul (Corner) snapped as she flew up to attack Black Gondul.

However, Black Gondul cackled. "We'll see each other again, Gondul. Stay and mourn your pitiful losses." With that, she teleported as Gondul (Corner) barely punched through Black Gondul's after image.

"NO!" Gondul (Corner) screamed with fury.

Portland, Oregon/United States/Dimension: Character Corner

(Cue Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX – Missing You)

In the busy streets of Portland, there are civilians seen in their daily lives. Cars and vehicles are driving to work and other places.

A group walkings on the sidewalk: Jessica (Corner), Samantha (Corner), Ford (Corner), Carmen (Corner), and an Asgardian boy who's Carmen (Corner)'s love interest and looks like Lann (Word of Final Fantasy). His name is Eikou.

They just already visited Jessica (Corner) and Carmen (Corner)'s old childhood hometown before Jessica (Corner) and her family moved to Arizona. Jessica/Ford (Corner) left their two babies to Jessica (Corner)'s parents' care in Arizona.

As of now, the group has already visited specific places such as Jess/Carmen (Corner)'s high school (But the big difference is Jessica (Corner) is a smart student and got accepted to a university) and that Smithsonian with modeled aircraft that reminds of Jessica/Carmen (YYGDM-01)'s reunion before Jessica (YYGDM-01)'s awakening as a Valkyrie.

As of now, they are seen still walking and enjoying the view.

"Doesn't this take you back, Carmen?" Jessica (Corner) asked her friend.

"Yes, where our friendship began," Carmen (Corner) replied.

Samantha (Corner) looked around. "This is nice and all, but I have like no close connections to this place."

Ford (Corner) smiled. "It's ok, Samantha. Just think we're having a good time together."

Eikou approached Carmen (Corner). "C'mon, let's explore over here."

"Sure," Carmen (Corner) nodded.

(End theme)

Just then, an explosion occurred that sends civilians running in panic. The group became alert and search the source. Once they reach the site, the group became shocked by what they saw.

"What the hell was that?!" Samantha (Corner) exclaimed.

"Up there!" Ford (Corner) pointed up.

(Cue Drums of Thunder (Native American Music) Mountain Spirits)

A dark figure that resembled Skogul approaches them. She has long light rose hair, bronze skin, gray wings trimmed with rose, black armor with light gray trimmed, rose bodysuit underneath, four white lines attach to her lower body with four rose diamond shapes and black lines around them, black tiara helmet with three rose feathers and a rose gem in the middle, black boots, rose eyes, and rose earrings. Her name is Black Skogul.

"Welcome. I've seen that we're fated to fight in today's battle." Black Skogul darkly greeted them.

Jessica (Corner) looked at her befuddled. "Y-You look like me?!"

"Except she has rose hair," Eikou pointed out.

"Another Jessica? C'mon now," Samantha (Corner) grumbled.

"Don't worry. Only you and original Jessica are all I love. No one else," Ford (Corner) reassured them.

Black Skogul cleared her throat. "Anyway, your attention should be on me. I mean, I after all caused the destruction you saw."

"You won't get away with that! Samantha, Eikou, Ford, and Carmen!" Jessica (Corner) rallied her husband, lover, and friends together.

Jessica transformed into Valkyrie Skogul. Samantha turned into Geirskogul. Carmen produced a red katana. Ford and Eikou readied for battle, too.

Black Skogul chortled evilly. "Not wasting any time, huh? Fine by me."

"Don't let the fact she looks like Jessica distract you, she's the enemy! Now attack!" Ford (Corner) declared.

The battle began. Black Skogul fires rose blasts at the heroes. Ford (Corner)'s memory-powered glow as he forms a barrier to dissolve the blasts. Eikou threw metallic grenades at Black Skogul, but they did nothing but amuse her a bit. However, this distracted Black Skogul enough for Skogul (Corner) and Geirskogul (Corner) to direct punch her head-on. Black Skogul recovered and saw Carmen (Corner) about to swipe her behind with a red katana. Ford materialized two cross blades to strike, but Black Skogul evaded them both. Skogul (Corner) force pushed Black Skogul, while Geirskogul (Corner) fired an antimatter sphere to hit Black Skogul.

Then, Black Skogul summoned Red Huginn & Muninn (they have four eyes similar to Trigon (Teen Titans)). Skogul (Corner) summoned Huginn & Muninn (Corner) and Chilali (Corner). Geirskogul (Corner) summoned Durathror (Corner) and Dark Chilali. Skogul (Corner) and Geirskogul (Corner) are outnumbering Black Skogul's ravens, though Red Huginn & Muninn held off on their own without problems.

Black Skogul taunted her opponents to catch her as she flew across Portland. Skogul (Corner) and Geirskogul (Corner) flew and chased after their opponent. Ford (Corner), Carmen (Corner), and Eikou pursued Black Skogul across the streets. Skogul (Corner) fired emerald temporal beams at Black Skogul, but the evil Valkyrie easily evaded. Nearby, Black Skogul saw a large lake named Lake Oswego and smiled as she turned behind to face her two opponents.

"Let me present something to please myself." Black Skogul chortled as her hands are charged with rose magical circles.

Black Skogul then used space manipulation, sending a force wave that injures Skogul (Corner) and Geirskogul (Corner) and sent them down to the shore. Ford (Corner) became affected by the manipulations and is teleported crashing into the waters of Lake Oswego. Underwater, Ford (Corner) quickly recovered and swam back to the surface.

As Ford (Corner) swam above Lake Oswego for air, Black Skogul appeared behind and embraced him.

"AH! Let me go!" Ford (Corner) struggled.

But no use. Black Skogul used her powers to remove Ford (Corner)'s shirt. The Black Valkyrie briefly removed her armor, showing off her white leopard moth-styled bra/panties (while her butt is revealing) for Ford (Corner) to feel her breasts and skin. Ford (Corner) felt his 'thing' being held by Black Skogul's hand sliding through his pants, but it's not shown since the water covers both of their lower bodies. Black Skogul then gave Ford (Corner) a French kiss to seduce him.

On the shore, Skogul (Corner) and Geirskogul (Corner) quickly get up to see their husband being molested by Black Skogul in Lake Oswego. Needless to say, they are furious that she's taking advantage of their man.

"HEY! LET GO OF OUR MAN!" Skogul (Corner) and Geirskogul (Corner) yelled out together. They both rushed Black Skogul.

Black Skogul anticipated Skogul (Corner) and Geirskogul (Corner). She cackled and flew up, recalling her armor back to her body. She engaged Skogul (Corner) and Geirskogul (Corner). She blasted Skogul (Corner) back and kicked Geirskogul (Corner) down.

"I'm not finished yet!" Carmen (Corner) attacked Black Skogul.

Carmen (Corner) continued blocking Black Skogul's Black Quern-biter sword with her Meta katanas, but it's no use as Black Skogul disarmed Carmen (Corner) and viciously pierced her in the chest.

(End theme)

"CARMEN!" Skogul (Corner) shouted as she blasted Black Skogul away with her magic circle.

Skogul (Corner) rushed and held Carmen (Corner) as the Latina is dying from severe injury and blood loss. Huginn/Muninn/Chilali/Durathror/Dark Chilali are called back by Skogul/Geirskogul. Black Skogul called back Red Huginn & Muninn.

Wasting no time and quickly recovering, Black Skogul flew up to the sky and powered herself up to the fullest. Skogul (Corner), who is carrying Carmen, can do nothing but retreat in emotional panic alongside the others from Black Skogul's destructive power.

And that's right. Black Skogul unleashed her temporal explosive wave that spreads through all of Portland, killing all civilians and destroying all buildings. It goes on until the explosive wave eventually ceased. As the energy is cleared, Black Skogul gave a sinister chuckle before flying away.

Portland, Oregon/Former Nightwind Residence/United States/Dimension: Character Corner

(Cue Epic Native American Music - Black Ravens)

It is the aftermath of Portland's destruction with a somber song played through the background. Millions of civilians are dead. All of which was caused by Black Skogul.

The group is seen outside of Jessica's former household in the forest. Skogul (Corner), Geirskogul (Corner), Ford (Corner), and Eikou are the survivors, but not without a cost. Skogul (Corner) is seen crying while cradling Carmen (Corner)'s dead body, while the rest lower their heads in sadness.

"Carmen, my friend…" Skogul (Corner) cried over her friend's body.

Eikou wept. "Carmen… this isn't right… it's not fair."

Geirskogul (Corner) gritted. "That bitch won't get away with this. She's on our shit list."

Ford (Corner) nodded, unable to contain his anger. "Don't worry, we'll get another chance to finish her and avenge our friend Carmen."

"Oh you bet we will," Skogul (Corner) growled. "Black Skogul, you've just declared war."

?-?

(Cue Dragon Ball Super: Unreleased OST - Zamasu's Theme)

At the dark area within the anomalous being's realm, a round table appeared. On one side, R. Homura, the Rebellious Witch, sat. On the other side, Zamasmon sat. Both of them are drinking tea. Standing behind the renegade Supreme Guardian are Black Omega X in the middle, Black Angemon X on the right, and Black Dramon X on the left. The Black Ascendant Triad have already completed their intel collecting in the dimensions.

R. Homura stirred her tea with her teaspoon and sipped before speaking, "I take it that getting the Triad's attention was a success?"

Zamasmon calmly answered, "Yes. My master, Gowasmon, did not suspect a thing while the Black Angels wreaked havoc amongst the mortals."

"These Ascendants didn't stand a chance," Black Omega X arrogantly smirked.

"This is just the beginning of bringing despair to drown out their hopes," Black Angemon X stated.

"Can't wait to once again confront Kensuke," Black Dramon X chortled.

"By the way, that time ring you have won't be necessary," R. Homura said as she requested Black Omega X to give it to her.

Complying with her command, the Black Ascendant placed the ring in R. Homura's hand.

"We don't want to create any more temporal irregularities with this thing. Besides, dimension travel is a much more practical method of traversing other worlds and doesn't unnecessary paradoxes." Rebellious Homura said, not forgetting that she knowingly created an alternate timeline from the universe she came from.

After sipping his tea, Zamasmon gave a dignified response. "Yes, very well spoken. We deities shouldn't tamper with timelines. Mortals have done enough damage in their attempts to redeem their past transgressions or try to correct the wrongs that shaped their realities." He set his teacup on the table and folded his fingers together. "And thank you for reminding me about the time ring. I'd be a hypocrite if I were to utilize it any more than I have."

R. Homura shut her eyes and nodded. "Indeed, you made the right call." She put the time ring away. "Speaking of interdimensional travel, it seems nearly all of our agents have been eliminated by these heroes. We've been reduced to us very few left. Namely you, me, the Black Ascendants, and the Imaginalists."

"Have we determined where to factor the Imaginalists?"

"I've already predetermined their roles. They know what they must accomplish, but I shall call them for another meeting soon to clarify our objectives."

Zamasmon nodded. "That's very good."

"But, I will tell you right now what those objectives are."

"Do tell." The renegade Supreme Guardian became intrigued.

R. Homura addressed the Black Ascendants. "By tomorrow, you three will need to steal certain items from the Triad dimensions you'll visit again: SliferGigaSeadramon's Digicores, RaPhoenixmon's Dragon Gazer Mirror, and ObeliskMegaGargomon's gem. We must harvest their powers to defeat our enemies. As this goes on, me and the Imaginalists look to implement a divide and conquer strategy."

"Divide and conquer, you say?"

The Rebellious witch leaned back, folding a leg over the other. "Yes, we're going to remove a few members in their teams once we've divided them. The heroes are so used to fighting linearly, they won't see this coming."

Zamasmon replied with a conniving smirk. "That's a well-strategized ploy, demon goddess." He pivoted over to the Black Ascendant Triad. "So, are you three up to this?"

"Leave it to us. Having already fought Taichi and assessed his powers, my own strength has increased as a result of our brief clash. The divine energies that course through his Ascendant form have resonated with me." Black Omega X grinned, patting his chest center.

"My body was especially reacting in a way I haven't felt before when I watched Kensuke transform. It's possible our bodies are adapting." Black Dramon X added.

"I think all three of us are feeling a surge of new raw energies coursing through us. It'll finally be good to let it all out once we face our foes again," Black Angemon X stated.

"The more divided the more dissension we create for those mortal fools." Zamasmon plainly said, sipping his tea. "And very soon, Gowasmon will meet his end."

"So be it, this meeting is adjourned until the Imaginalists arrive." R. Homura concluded, getting up from her seat. She proceeded out leaving Zamasmon and the Black Ascendant Triad. On her way out, she bit her bottom lip and muttered. "And very soon, I'll draw you both to me, Madoka Kaname and Homura Akemi."

"Black Ascendants? And one of them actually looks like you?" Dorothy asked Tai, who was sitting down with Sora rubbing his back. "This dark you sounds like he's a lot of trouble."

"Yeah, Dorothy. He even blew up Dimitri's time machine and escaped into a portal. Dimitri was pretty hard on himself when he saw his time machine was destroyed. We need to be careful how we approach this guy and those other two Black Ascendants when they ever show."

Dorothy queried her foster father. "Think they'll turn up here again?"

"Absolutely. We can't take any chances."

"Then, we must be prepared, Dorothy!" Avengemon declared, which got a nod from his partner.

"So, where's Matt now?" Kari asked her brother.

"Soon after he saw my fight with my Black self, Yamakins took over his body and took them to some isolated spot to clear their head. Looks like he's determined to face and beat my Black counterpart. I shouldn't even be surprised."

TK sighed. "Typical, but I hope he can get back soon if those Black Ascendants show up again."

"Heh, knowing Yamakins he'll be here as soon as the danger presents itself again," the Bearer of Courage smirked as he sighed when Sora finished massaging his shoulders.

"There, I think that should do," Sora said. "My Ki was enough to relax those muscles of yours."

"Thanks, Sora."

"I still can't believe those monsters destroyed Dimitri's time and attacked his other friends' dimension. I'm glad he, Karin, and Athena are ok," Mimi said, relieved over their safety.

"You and me both, Mimi!" Palmon concurred.

"Hey, Tai, you heard Lords Beerusmon and Whismon are gonna show up to talk to us?" Agumon reminded him of their meeting with the deities.

"Yeah, but why do I get the feeling they're just showing up 'cause Mimi bribed them with food?"

"Well, I had to give them a reason to show up and the Pizza Palace is putting out a brand new pizza dish. So, why not take advantage?" The Bearer of Sincerity said.

"Nah, sounds like a plan," Tai approved.

"So, what have they discovered about these Black Ascendants?" Sora wondered.

"Who knows? Give them a little more time to investigate," the Bearer of Courage stated. "But, I hope we got some leads about those Black Ascendants, but I will say during my fight with Black Omega X…" He looked at his hand and recalled him clashing with the Black Ascendant.

"What is it, Tai?" Dorothy asked him.

"Fighting him felt so familiar and the aura he gave off felt very similar to someone else's energy," Tai assessed the familiarity of the being's distinct aura. "It felt very divine."

"He had some kind of god energy?" Sora asked him.

"Are you sure you're second guessing?" Biyomon said.

"No way, I know god power when I feel it. I don't think Black Omega X is as he what claims to be," Tai frowned and clenched his same fist.

"That's strange," Sora nodded. "By the way, isn't Max supposed to meet us?"

"Yeah, they should be here. I think they went to see Simms about something," Tai replied. "Hopefully he doesn't take long."

Just then, Max & Gojiramon and Keke & Mosuramon appeared with Tike dropping them off using Instant Movement.

"Hey, we were just talking about you!" Agumon welcomed him and Gojiramon.

"Thanks, Tike, we'll contact you later," Max said as Tike teleported out. "I see Lords Beerusmon and Whismon aren't back yet. So, do we have any idea who or what Black Omega X is?"

"Well, we thought you'd know," Mimi said.

"Sorry, can't say I do. Not yet anyway," Max replied.

"That's a bummer, but it's like I already told everyone here that Black Ascendant clone of mine gave off a divine aura."

"He had a divine aura?" Kari asked him. "Something like god Ki? Or, like my Homeostasis light?"

"More like the former, Kari."

Upon hearing this, Max furrowed both brows. "Hmm, so you aren't the only one to think that?"

"Yeah, so you know what I'm talking about. And get this. His aura felt very familiar."

Keke blinked. "Familiar? You mean to say it belongs to someone you've fought before?"

"Exactly, but I can't seem to figure out who because this god energy is pretty distinct. It was a mix of divine power with Ascendant energy."

"Could be you from another timeline?" Gojiramon wondered.

"No, because Tai should be dead in most of the other alternate timelines due to the heart virus. All I can think of are the offshoot dimensions where the Tai we know is still alive. Something might've happened to him to those dimensions that turned him like this."

"But, how do we explain the supposed Black Angemon X and Black Dramon X?" Tai asked the former Watcher.

"That's just it. I don't know about the other two. Maybe they came from alternate timelines?"

Palmon groaned. "Ugh, please let's not get into this timeline stuff."

Mimi concurred. "I get a headache just listening to it."

Kari and Gatomon both chimed in. "Tell me about it!"

TK chuckled. "No need to overthink it, guys. Patamon's already tried doing it."

Patamon groaned. "Yep, and I got a headache from doing it."

"At this point, it doesn't matter where they came from. They have to be stopped no matter what," Tai said, getting up from his chair.

"Yeah! Fight first, questions later!" Agumon chimed in.

"So, what brings you two here?" Sora asked the two D3s.

"Well, just in case Black Omega X showed up again, we thought we could give a helping hand," Keke offered. "Oh, and dad is obviously not here."

"He's off in seclusion somewhere mentally training," Tai replied.

"Thanks for giving us a hand, Max," Agumon said.

"No problem. We just gotta wait and see if he shows up. When he does, we'll be ready." Max added.

(Cue Madoka Magica OST - Anima mala)

A spotlight beamed over a dark and empty space revealing R. Homura and Zamasmon. Opposite from them are the Black Ascendant Triad, Soma Saitou, and his Digimon partner duo (Arkadimon & Deathmon). There was a newcomer joining them: an Egyptian garbed ghoul-like humanoid creature.

"Good, we're all present and accounted for," R. Homura counted the members.

"Indeed, welcome Soma Saitou, Arkadimon, and Deathmon. So good to have you with us, Imaginalists. And of course, how can I forget you, Nyarlathotep?" Zamasmon eloquently addressed them.

Saitou chortled. "Or, should we call you 'Nyarla?'"

Nyarla responded harshly. "I won't have you disparage me with such a childish name, you arroga-!"

R. Homura quickly cut Nyarla off. "That's far enough. I will not permit any infighting amongst ourselves. Leave such petty action to the mortals."

Nyarla complied. "As you wish."

"So far one of our allies fell in battle in another universe. His contributions will be greatly missed, but we have four other assailants doing work for us elsewhere. Let's hope they succeed and bear us fruit," R. Homura referred to other members of their collective unit. "No matter, the show must go on."

Zamasmon turned to the Black Ascendant Triad. "Don't forget you three have a mission to bring us the three artifacts. SliferGigaSeadramon's Digicores, RaPhoenixmon's Dragon Gazer Mirror, and ObeliskMegaGargomon's Gem."

Black Omega X calmly replied. "Of course, and we shall harvest the powers of these three items. We'll utilize their powers to their fullest and use them to defeat Taichi and his colleagues."

"Not to mention mess with Kenny boy. Boy, do I have plans for him," Black Dramon X made his intentions known.

"They won't know what to expect once we use these three artifacts," Black Angemon X said.

Saitou spoke up. "Permit me to capture Max Kamiya. I won't fail you."

"Very well, Saitou. I leave that responsibility capturing Max to you," R. Homura said. "And of course, I won't just be lounging around. I'll leave with you three into dimension DF-616. There's a certain pink-haired woman we must capture, whose name is pretty infamous."

Saitou surmised. "Mana Ouma."

"Yes. Did anyone honestly think I'd say Madoka Kaname? Oh, don't worry, if she and Homura ever cross my way, I'll personally deal with them," the Rebellious one vowed to handle the two Puellas. "So, Zamasmon, will you be returning to your post?"

"Yes, and continue posing as the 'good student' for that deluded old fool. And today will be the day I finally sever my ties with him."

"Excellent, then this is where we depart," R. Homura said as Zamasmon vanished from the sanctuary.

R. Homura shifted over to the Imaginalists and Nyarla. "And as for the rest of you, good hunting."

With that, multiple portals opened and they each took one to go to their desired destinations.

Shinjuku, Tokyo/Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building/10:45 AM

(Cue Madoka Magica OST - Umbra nigra)

A dark portal opened over the government building. From it came Black Omega X. The Black Ascendant set a maniacal glare over the illustrious landmark and around the city perimeters.

A conniving grin adorned the Black Ascendant's face. "Showtime." With that, he forged a black Ki ball in the cusp of his right hand and fired.

Odaiba District/Odaiba Notama Apartments/Tai's Residence/Room#122/10:50 AM

Just as Black Omega X's initial attacks went off, most of the members in the apartment felt the immense Ki spike up. Tai, Max, Keke, Dorothy, Sora, and the Digimon all sensed Black Omega X's presence materialize.

"Shit, he's here!" Max cursed loudly.

"This soon?!" Kari cried out.

"He's not far from where we are," Tai felt Black Omega X's Ki power. "Everyone, grab a hold of me!"

"Yes, let's hurry!" Keke declared as she and the others put their hands on Tai's back.

Before putting his fingers to his forehead, Tai also sensed others heading toward Black Omega X's location.

"Looks like Yamato is on the move along with a few others."

"More reason for us to go," Max nodded.

"Right, here we go!" Tai called out and used Instant Movement to relocate them to the Black Ascendant's location.

Shinjuku, Tokyo/10:53 AM

After firing blasts over sections of Shinjuku's vicinity, Black Omega X turned his attention toward the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building. He raised a hand and forged a black Ki ball, which he then prepared to fire and obliterate the building with.

(End theme)

Just then, a Ki beam collided with Black Omega X, cutting him off from completing his attack. The Black Ascendant turned around and saw Metalla X with an outstretched hand that he used to fire his beam.

A conniving grin adorned the Black Ascendant's face. "So glad you could be here early, Yamato. Care to see how I'll purge the mortals of this city?"

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Instant-Kill Battle)

"Your fight is with me now," Metalla X frowned as he and Black Omega X descended toward the ground. The Bearer of Friendship hastily flew head-on with Black Omega X and unleashed a series of fisticuffs.

While Black Omega X and Metalla X clashed, Shu, Gai, Kirito (Corner), and Asuna (Corner) arrived on the scene.

"Man, Yamato's already taking it to him!" Shu exclaimed.

"It's best we stay out of the way for now," Gai suggested.

"Good idea," Kirito (Corner) muttered as he and Asuna (Corner) kept their distance from Shu and Gai.

Metalla X and Black Omega X landed quick blows to their abdomens. Metalla X quickly recovered and went for a straight jab. Black Omega X swerved to the side and kicked Metalla X from behind. Metalla X fell toward the ground, but he stopped himself halfway and floated down.

"Is that all you have, Yamato?" Black Omega X chuckled. He descended and faced off with Metalla X.

Before either one moved to attack the other, Tai, Agumon, and the others appeared together. Keke and Mosuramon headed over to Metalla X.

"Matt! Glad we made it in time," Keke checked on him.

"Oh, thank goodness you're ok," Mimi added, checking in with Metalla X.

"Guys, keep your eyes on the prize," Tai said, shooting an intense glare toward Black Omega X.

(End theme)

Dorothy looked over Black Omega X. She gave a disapproving look and turned to Tai. "He looks just like you from the hair to the face."

'Yeah, but his eyes tell a different story," Sora muttered, seeing the malignance on Black Omega X's disposition.

"You came alone again? That'll be a big mistake on your part," Max scoffed.

"Of course, you'd say that, but my strength isn't what it was the last we met," Black Omega X collectively and evilly smirked. He turned the other way as he spotted Shu, Gai, Kirito (Corner), and Asuna (Corner). "There's no use hiding. I know you're all there."

With that, the four came out of hiding. Black Omega X eyed Kirito (Corner) and Asuna (Corner).

"Yes, I recognize you two from that dimension where that Omega X came from."

"Wait, you know about our Omega X?" Kirito (Corner) was taken aback.

"Know him? I am him. Well, technically speaking, I'm a copy of that Omega X, who died in a major battle in your world. This is a copy of his old body before you all wished him back to life."

"You're just a copy of another me? Then, that body is counterfeit!" Tai pointed out.

"More like an artificial shell, but I have acquired all of that Taichi's memories and Ascendant powers. That includes the divine power he achieved. Initially, I had trouble accessing that divine power… until my fight with you, Taichi," Black Omega X addressed Tai. "You brought the best out of me. Our fight stirred the Ascendant nature I possess and invigorated the divine power coursing through this body."

Divine power?! Max thought.

"Tai, you don't mean…" Sora gasped as Tai and Agumon stepped up to face Black Omega X.

As the symbol of Courage flared on his chest, Tai used his Crest energies to combine him and Agumon into Omega X. Omega X walked up to Black Omega X and sized him up. Both threw punches at the exact same time as their fists collided. With enough sheer force, the Ascendant and Black Ascendant's powers pushed each other back.

"So, you weren't lying. You have gotten stronger since our last fight, but this time I'll make sure you don't leave here alive," Omega X replied with a fierce and determined glare, which didn't faze Black Omega X.

The Black Ascendant chortled. "No, no, please, indulge me, Taichi. You and your friends go ahead and entertain me." Then, with a hand behind his back, he snapped his fingers and made a rose-colored string appear. The time is now. Fetch the Digicores while you're still able!

"Enough babbling! Your fight is still with me!" Metalla X pointed to himself.

"Sure, I don't care. Either way, you'll all fall the same!" Black Omega X rushed headlong against the heroes and attacked.

Azabu-Juuban District/Hikawa Shrine/Dimension: YYGDM-01/2:00 PM

Normally, it would be another casual and mundane day at the Hikawa Shrine. However, following the recent Black Ascendant duo attack, dimension YYGDM-01's heroes have been put on high alert in case of repeated Black Ascendant incursion.

Preparing to leave the shrine, Rei Hino, Hiei, and Cammy set off to meet with the Sailor Senshi and Spirit Detectives near Legend HQ.

"Are we all set?" Rei asked.

"Yep, Future Koori and Ryuuhi said they'd stay and take care of their kid selves," Cammy referred to the future Neo Senshi and Detective staying to take care of their present day counterparts. "So, I'm free to come. Hopefully, Yui, Aoshi, and the others will be there."

"Well, we aren't going to know if we're still here chatting," Hiei snorted.

"Right, let's get going," Rei said.

"Oh, hold on! I forgot something!" Cammy cried out, speaking for something in her bag. "My Dragon Gazer's Mirror! I was intending to bring it to show Yui and the others something! You two go on ahead!"

"Oh, ok…" Rei sighed.

"We can't delay this meeting any further," Hiei remarked.

"Relax, she probably just left it in her room."

As Cammy entered her room, she picked up her Dragon's Gazer Mirror and stormed out.

"Aunt Cammy? Is everything ok?" Future Koori asked while reading a children's book to her younger self.

"Yeah, I had just to get something. We'll be back," Cammy waved them off. "Where's Ryuuhi?"

"They're both in the back garden," Future Koori replied.

"Oh ok."

"Tell Yui and Aoshi we said hi."

"Will do," Cammy walked out the door.

Just as she opened the door, Black Angemon X appeared in front of her.

(Cue Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia - Stones Hold a Grudge)

"Ah, Dimitri?!" She paused as she sensed the dark Ki permeating from the Black Ascendant and already picked up on his black appearance. "No, you're one of those Black Ascendants!" She sprang back, but Black Angemon X grabbed her arm.

"You have something I want!" Black Angemon X demanded.

"AUNT CAMMY!" Future Koori screamed.

"Get out of here!" Cammy cried out. "Get little Koori out of here!"

Taking heed of her aunt's order, Future Koori ran out with her child self. Black Angemon X quickly ripped the backpack off Cammy as the Dragon Gazer's Mirror fell out. The Black Ascendant grabbed the mirror.

"Thank you, human. Now allow me to repay the favor," Black Angemon X formed a faint rose-colored energy blade, preparing to gut Cammy with it.

"STOP!" Rei cried out. "CAMMY GET DOWN!"

Suddenly, a fiery arrow hurtled toward Black Angemon X. The Black Ascendant grabbed the arrow, which exploded in his face. Black Angemon X took to the air and scanned the grounds. He sighted Sailor Mars and Hiei readying their attacks.

"You're one of those Black Ascendants that attacked during that campaign!" Mars harshly berated Black Angemon X. "How dare you attack our family grounds and wear the face of a good man. You won't get away!"

"Sis, he's got my mirror!" Cammy shouted.

"Are the kids ok, Cammy?!"

"Yeah, I told Koori to take herself to the garden with Ryuuhi!"

"Good."

Hiei jumped up and tossed his sword at Black Angemon X. The Black Ascendant effortlessly backhanded the blade away. However, this distraction served in Hiei's favor, allowing him to gather darkness flames. Hiei imbued his body with his Darkness Dragon Armor. Hiei unleashed fisticuffs on Black Angemon X, but the Black Ascendant parried and dodged the demon swordsman's blows.

"Not bad, mortal demon, but you won't last with a pure and divine being like me!" Black Angemon X responded with a black Ki blast, sending Hiei flying back.

"HIEI!" Mars and Cammy cried out.

Upon seeing Hiei being tossed aside, Mars' fury was unleashed. The Houou, too, emotionally responded to Hiei's plight. Cosmic flames formed over Sailor Mars as the Houou took over and transformed her into Houou Mars.

'This man is not what he seems. Beyond that Ascendant exterior lies a fallen being.' The Houou hinted to the Black Ascendant's true identity.

Black Angemon X scowled, feeling the Houou's presence. "This woman has a divine entity contained within her? Just like the one from that Cornerverse dimension."

"I told you to get off my family's grounds, intruder!" Houou Mars yelled, forming a phoenix-like cloak. She pushed her right hand out, sending an immense force that repelled Black Angemon X away.

Overwhelmed by Houou Mars' powerful wave, Black Angemon X was pushed back. He prepared to retaliate, but Houou Mars was ready to blast him again.

"I wasn't prepared for that kind of power…!" Black Angemon X growled as he quickly turned his sights on Cammy, who was tending to Hiei.

With a sneaky grin, Black Angemon X formed a black Ki ball and tossed it toward Cammy's way. Hiei quickly threw himself in front of Cammy.

"CAMMY! HIEI!" Houou Mars cried out, flying down in front of them and summoned her Houou cloak, which absorbed the Ki blast.

As this provided enough time to distract them, Black Angemon X took advantage and prepared to take his leave. However, a wave of blasts headed his way. He paused as he saw Angemon X, Dramon X, Sailor Sedna, the Planetary Senshi, the Beast Tamers, and the Spirit Detectives appear to stop him.

"Damn, this is going to get troublesome," Black Angemon X scowled.

"Stop!" Angemon X called out, quickly drawing out his sword.

"It's that asshole again!" Dramon X exclaimed.

Just then, another portal opened and Black Dramon X popped out from it. He flew over next to Black Angemon X.

"Looks like you'll need a hand, after all," Black Dramon X said, setting his sights on Dramon X.

"Did you get that gem yet?"

"No, I was on my way over, but I figure I give you a hand now before we head there. Congrats capturing the mirror though."

"Let's play a little with them before we leave," Black Angemon X suggested.

Black Angemon X smirked as he and Black Dramon X floated away from the shrine.

"Come get us if you can!" Black Angemon X openly taunted and laughed at his adversaries.

"You're not getting away with that mirror!" Angemon X roared as he and Dramon X quickly flew after their Black counterparts.

"Ready to fight again, Kensuke?!" Black Dramon X goaded him.

"Fight?! No, I'm killing you!" Dramon X snapped back.

"Hold on, you two!" Sailor Sedna called out as she turned into Dai-Valkyrie form and flew after the two Ascendants. "The other Kuipers are in the city! They should be ready to cut those two Black Ascendants off!"

(End theme)

"Go on, everyone!" Sailor Moon called out to the others. As the group followed the Ascendants into the city, she and Yusuke stayed to check on Houou Mars, Hiei, and Cammy.

"We're fine, you two," Houou Mars said. "We should focus on getting the mirror back."

"Right, let's go," Yusuke nodded.

(Cue Sailor Moon Crystal OST - A Fierce Battle with the Witches)

Having flown halfway across Azabu-Juuban, the Black Ascendants turned around as a barrage of Ki blasts headed their way. They forged black auras that completely dissipated the blasts. Angemon X quickly shot up and swung his sword to behead his Black counterpart. Black Angemon X narrowly phased away and reappeared above him.

Black Dramon X and Dramon X clashed and attacked with fisticuffs. Dramon X quickly kneed Black Dramon X's face and punched him back. Dramon X followed up with a powerful Ryuken Wave, which Black Dramon X countered with one of his own. Their attacks abruptly canceled each other.

"Very good. Your strength is something to be admired, Kensuke!" Black Dramon X cackled.

"I don't admire anyone who steals my look," Dramon X growled.

"C'mon, show me that divine aura you demonstrated the other day."

Dramon X retorted. "Be careful what you wish for."

Just then, the Planetary Senshi, the Spirit Detectives, the Beast Tamers, and Sailor Sedna arrived to help the two Ascendants.

"Brother, Dimitri! We're here if you need a hand!" Sedna called out to them.

"Remind them to try and get that mirror back!" Moon cried.

"Why should we stand around? C'mon, let's get that mirror from them!" Sailor Venus declared as she conjured her Venus Love Me Chain and threw it at Dark Angemon X.

Black Angemon X saw the chain coming and grabbed it. He quickly snapped it in two and fired a blast at the group. The Senshi, Detectives, the Beast Tamers, and Sedna dodged the beam. Sailor Saturn summoned her Silence Wall to stop the Black Ascendant's attack.

"That does it!" Yusuke then fired his Spirit Gun at Black Angemon X, who batted the beam away. This distraction allowed for someone to jump in and snatch the mirror from his grasp. "What?!"

It was none other than Sailor Varuna, who used her Flash Step to sneak up undetected and take the mirror.

"Varuna! Thank goodness!" Sedna called out.

"Thanks a lot, Varuna," Angemon X said.

"You want this? Come and get it!" Sailor Varuna goaded Black Angemon X.

"Hey! You better get that back or our mission has failed!" Black Dramon X chastised his colleague.

Grinning, Black Angemon X chuckled. "Just a minor setback, I'll have the mirror back in no time."

"Yeah?! We'll see about that!" BlazeGallantmon roared as he flew up to attack the Black Ascendant. He launched a Phoenix Shot from his Aegis Shield, but the Black Ascendant swerved past him and kicked BlazeGallantmon from behind.

"Takato, Guilmon!" StormSakuyamon cried out. She, QuakeGargomon, and AuroraInumon tried to attack Black Ascendant, but he unleashed a barrage of attacks that knocked them away.

"You bastard!" Sailor Jupiter roared as she went into Dai-Valkyrie mode and summoned Mjolnir. She fired a thunderbolt from the weapon and hit Black Angemon X with it.

Black Angemon X dodged Jupiter's attack and flew over, catching her with a kick that knocked her down. Sailors Venus, Mercury, and Saturn closed in to attack, but Black Dramon X came to his ally's rescue after he blasted Dramon X down. He swooped down and with a powerful energy wave swept Venus and Mercury back. Sailor Saturn managed to protect against Black Dramon X's attack with Silence Wall.

Then, Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, and Kuwabara surrounded the Black Ascendants.

"Go fetch the mirror. Leave these mortal fools with me," Black Dramon X requested while quickly engaging the Spirit Detectives.

With that, Black Angemon X flew over toward Sailor Varuna. Wasting no time, Varuna transformed into her Dai-Valkyrie form. She summoned her ax, Stormbreaker, and flew at the Black Ascendant. She swung her mighty ax, which Black Angemon X stopped with a hand. She struggled to shove the ax blade into him. Black Angemon X pushed her back.

Then, a gust of wind brushed against Black Angemon X followed by poisonous darts and roses. Black Angemon X dodged these incoming attacks. Then, a black hole opened up in front of Black Angemon X, attempting to pull him in. Black Angemon X phased away and reappeared from a short distance. He saw the culprits: Sailors Eris, Ixion, Quaoar, and Orcus.

"Glad we made it in time!" Sailor Eris called out.

"Are you ok, sweetie?" Quaoar asked Varuna, who still managed to hold onto the mirror.

"I am now."

"Heh, not for long. Your constant interventions are growing tiresome!" Black Angemon X declared as he fired a blast into the ground, sending debris flying in all directions.

As the Kuipers was swept back by the debris, Black Angemon X dove through a debris cloud and snuck up on Varuna. He reached for the Dragon Gazer Mirror, but Varuna called for Mjolnir, which flew out of Jupiter's hand and into hers. With a mighty swing, Varuna knocked Black Angemon X back.

(End theme)

"Varuna! Don't let him get that mirror!" Sedna cried out as she summoned ice to trap Black Angemon X's feet in.

"This is where you end!" Angemon X roared as he swooped in to stab Black Angemon X's back.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Goku Black Theme (Unofficial) (1:11 - 3:59)) by The Enigma TNG)

After making short work of the Detectives, Black Dramon X fired a blast near Varuna, Sedna, and Angemon X. While powerful enough to knock away the two Kuiper Senshi, Angemon X was merely slowed down. This gave Black Angemon X the time he needed to grab the mirror from Varuna.

"NO!" Angemon X yelled out.

"Excellent work. Now, let's go…" Before Black Dramon X could finish, Dramon X swooped in and punched him hard in the face.

After punching him down, Dramon X set his fiery gaze on the Black Ascendants. He saw Sedna had already conjured an ice construct to protect herself from Black Dramon X's sneak attack.

"Brother, I'm ok, but Varuna took the worst of it!" Sedna called out. "I'll tend to her! Please get the mirror back!"

"We're on it," Dramon X replied and Angemon X flew over to meet their Black Ascendant counterparts.

Upon arriving at the location, Dai-Valkyrie Sailor Moon and Houou Mars checked on the fallen Planetary and Kuiper Senshi. Only Saturn and Sedna were still left standing. Houou Mars saw Hiei was critically injured after Black Dramon X beat him and the other Detectives down.

"I don't how, but they seem a lot stronger than a couple of days ago!" Guilkatomon called out.

"Like I'm freaking done yet," Yusuke remarked, standing up and favoring his right arm.

"I've got you, Hiei," Houou Mars held the demon swordsman. She channeled her Houou energy into Hiei to heal him.

"Be careful, Sailor Moon. Dimitri and Kensuke are about to engage them," Saturn advised her.

Moon closely watched the Ascendants confront the Black Ascendants.

"Hey! Holy crap, what happened here?!" Brunhilde called out from above as she descended to scan the vicinity of fallen and injured heroes. She then saw the Black Ascendants. "Ugh, so those two are back?!"

"Yeah, but be careful, Kotori. They've suddenly gotten a power boost since the last we fought them," Guilkatomon warned her.

Dramon X and Angemon X faced off with the Black Ascendants.

"We have the mirror, but why not early when we can amuse ourselves and unveil our divine auras?" Black Angemon X smirked darkly.

"Our last fight with you helped these bodies adapt and unlock the divine energies coursing through us," Black Dramon X said.

Angemon X frowned. "What divine energies?"

Dramon X growled. "If they mean what I think, they have Ascendant God powers."

"Correct! Allow us to show you the power we intend to beat you with!" Black Dramon X declared.

Shinjuku, Tokyo/Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building/11:20 AM

Omega X flew after Black Omega X, who parried his adversaries' punches. Then, Metalla X dove in and kicked him in the face, sending him flying into a window of a building. The Black Ascendant crash landed inside the work area where Izzy, Yolei, Ken, and Miranda were working in.

"Whoa, what the hell?!" Yolei freaked out.

"Tai, Matt?!" Izzy exclaimed as he paused and saw Black Omega X. "And Tai?"

"No, that's the Black Ascendant they talked to us about the other day!" Tentomon reminded him.

"Look out!" Ken shouted as Black Omega X prepared to blast them all away, but Omega X and Metalla X pulled him outside.

Having seen enough, Miranda yanked off her lab coat and powered up.

"He dared to attack us? Not on my watch! I'll handle this!" Miranda declared as she flew out after them.

"Hold on!" Ken shouted as he grabbed Wormmon and transformed into Zordiark X.

"Ken!" Yolei called out to the Bearer of Kindness.

"We'll have to be careful, Yolei. The best we can do is prevent possible collateral damage that can potentially harm bystanders," Izzy advised her.

"We can certainly handle the clean-up," Hawkmon nodded.

"Alright, let's go," the purple-haired woman complied.

Quickly crossing his arms in front, Black Omega X blocked Omega X's straight jab. However, the force from the Ascendant's punch sent him flying back. Metalla X fired Ki blasts at the Black Ascendant. Black Omega X tossed a black energy wave that wiped out his blasts.

"You're going to have to do much better, Yamato!" Black Omega X cackled.

Suddenly, Celesta X swooped in behind Black Omega X. She kicked his blind spot and sent him flying toward WarAngemon, who punched him in the face. Then, Kaimodosu X flew up behind Black Omega X and drove an elbow to his spine. Black Omega X was sent sailing high into the air where Omega X punched him down into the ground. As the Black Ascendant crashed in a heap on the ground, Omega X and the others flew down to meet him.

As Omega X rose, he saw he was surrounded. Max, Keke, Godzillamon, Mothramon, Sora, Phoenixmon, Mimi, Rosemon, Shu, Gai, Kirito (Corner), and Asuna (Corner) surrounded him. The Black Ascendant backed away, chuckling undeterred despite being outnumbered by his opposition.

Damn, my doppelganger's taking longer to secure the Digicores. I can't let this drag out any longer, or else they'll force me to unveil this new power I've been holding back. Black Omega X thought as he scanned his adversaries.

"I don't know why you're laughing. Tai and the others are already beating you," Max said. "Besides, a few of us already tapped into the power beyond Ascendant God. Me, Tai, and Yamato specifically. That's three of us you're going to have plenty of trouble with."

Omega X frowned. "The three of you?"

Keke interjected. "That's right! Things aren't looking too good for you, even with your divine aura!"

Seeing the imposter wearing her boyfriend's face, Sora tensed up as fire-like Ki imbued her hands.

"Sora, calm down. I know how you feel. I hate this bastard is wearing Tai's face, but he still outclasses you," Max warned Sora of making a grave error.

Sighing, Sora powered down. "Right, sorry."

Suddenly, Omega X, Metalla X, Celesta X, WarAngemon, and Kaimodosu X descended with the group.

"So, are you ready to surrender, you fake?" Metalla X growled toward Black Omega X's way.

"No. In fact, I hear about this power beyond Ascendant God. I wonder how it will fare against the color of rose?"

Max was taken aback. "Rosé?"

Omega X demanded. "What? You have some unique gimmick to show us?"

Combing a hand through his spiky hair, Black Omega X chuckled. "Witness for yourselves, mortals."

"Well, what are you waiting for?!" Omega X demanded, preparing to make his move to stop Black Omega X.

"I can ask the same from you," Black Omega X aptly pointed out.

"Stop hiding whatever you're holding back. I know you've got bundles of power you haven't shown."

The Black Ascendant smirked darkly. "There's no need to rush. I've got plenty of time to show."

Max interjected. "Nah, c'mon show the rest of the class!"

"C'mon, guys. Don't keep enticing the bad guy," Shu tried reasoning with them.

"It can't be any worse than the other day," Kirito (Corner) said.

"Well fine. I'll have to go Super Blue then," Omega X said a he clenched his fists and delved into the divine energies flowing through him. Having invoked his full power, he powered up into his Super Ascendant God state.

"He's really going all out!" Kaimodosu X exclaimed.

"Good," Sora nodded approvingly. "He can finish that fake Tai now."

"I hope so," Keke muttered.

"Like how can the Black Omega X beat Super Ascendant Blue?" Mimi said, wondering about the outcome.

"He can't," a voice belonging to Madoka interjected as the group turned to see the pink-haired Puella magical girl arrive.

"Madoka. Fancy seeing you here," Gai commented.

"I couldn't afford to sit back and not do anything," Madoka added, painstakingly watching Omega X face off with the Black Ascendant.

"C'mon, Tai! You've got him!" Celesta X cheered him on.

"Well, what's keeping you?!" Omega X berated him.

"Screw this!" Metalla X scowled as he, too, powered up to Super Ascendant Blue.

"Ever heard of patience? Fine if you insist. As a reward, I'll show you animals how far I've come," Black Omega X evilly smiled, ready to crush Omega X's friends' hopes.

(Cue Devil May Cry 3 - Doppelganger Theme)

Then, Black Omega X yelled and powered up to a form similar to Super Ascendant Blue, except his hair color changed to pinkish hue. Even the thick aura surrounding him, which gave off a loud wisping sound, became pink coupled with a light purple aura layered over it. His battle suit even slightly altered to look like Omegamon Alter-B's dark body armor.

"Wait, what?! A pink aura?!" Metalla X exclaimed in shock.

"He's changed into a new form?!" Sora shouted in disbelief.

"Oh boy, a new color swap," remarked Gai.

"He has a pink aura just like your hair color, Madoka!" WarAngemon cried out.

"And like my old hair color," Mimi remarked about her crazy preteen hairstyle days.

"This isn't Super Blue," Max noticed as this new Ascendant form was new to him. "What kind of form is this?"

"Whatever it is, it's made him as strong as my brother!" Celesta X cried out.

"Repent, mortals! For this is the pinnacle of my pure and divine power!" Black Omega X boasted as the dark pink aura bathed over him. To further emphasize his new Ascendant transformation, his accent changed making him slightly more aristocratic. He grinned evilly, clenching his right hand tight. "What do you think of this color? Is it not beautiful? In keeping the consistency of naming your energy levels, I call this one Super Ascendant Rosé."

Ueno Park/Tokyo, Japan/Dimension: Character Corner

It's nightfall at the park that's close to the University of Tokyo (which is already destroyed with people killed). Kara Summers (Corner) is walking alone. She then senses a faint lifeforce. Kara (Corner) runs to find in shock that Sara Shinobu (Corner) is bloodily injured on the ground.

"Sara!" Kara (Corner) yelled. "What happened?!"

Sara (Corner) can only mutter, "She..she has come to this dimension."

"Hang on! I'll save you!" Kara (Corner) shouted.

Kara (Corner) then puts her hand on Sara (Corner)'s forehead. Sara (Corner)'s soul is recollected and placed back into her body. Sara (Corner)'s eyes open as a green light envelops her body. She stands completely garbed in a green dress and brown armor.

Next chapter: Separations of Tomorrow

Ford1114's A/N: Here we have it, the BAT have their test run in assaulting the Triad dimensions. They sure know to ruin Cain Bearer's campaign before the heroes' arrival to fight them.

Not only that but we are introduced to these three Black Valkyries called the Black Odin Triad. They did a real mess here that they kill three of the Valkyries' loved ones, luckily, the Valkyries turn them into their Einherjar. I have written my scenes in making things easy.

The next chapter will be the antagonists separating the heroes and the revelations of Zamasmon/BAT (for better pacing unlike DB Super) before the forthcoming BAT royale.

Kanius' A/N: Hope you enjoyed the heroes' first battle with the BAT. Surprised two of them attacked the YYGDM-01 dimension, interrupting Cain Bearer's campaign? Consider that a prelude that ultimately ties into the upcoming Wrath of the Defiants fic, which could very well be YYGDM's series finale.

Black Omega X unveils his Super Ascendant Rosé form.

Then there's the whole Black Odin Triad. They've done plenty of damage and left their mark on the Cornerverse. And our Cornerverse heroes ended up with losses. Thanks, Ford for writing most of the Cornerverse fights.

And that scene with Rebellious Homura having tea with Zamasmon. They're behind the BAT and now plan to steal three artifacts from the Triad dimensions.

Anyway, the next chapter will feature heroes being divided and revelations behind Zamasmon's BAT. That and more Cornerverse/BOT conflicts. We're not that far from the (non-Cornerverse) Black Ascendant royale.
