Zenomnimon's Palace/Dimension: DF-616

(Cue Sonic . EXE - Green Hill Zone)

Zeed X entertained himself watching the two dimensional conflict rising in Yog-Sothoth's realm and dimension DUA-16.

"Heheheh, things are starting to get spicy out there. In one dimension, we have the Rebellious Witch and Saitou handling things. And in another, Zamasmon and his forces taking it to the heroes of the Triad dimensions. What more can an interdimensional being like me want?" Zeed X chuckled as he stuffed black popcorn into his mouth. He shoved his popcorn bucket toward Zenomnimon. "Hey, want some baby god?"

Zenomnimon responded by sending an esoteric wave to try breaking his containment. Unfortunately, it came to no avail.

"Eh, your loss. Besides, there isn't any way to break out of that field. Not even your universe destroying power are going to cut it," Zeed X mentioned as he put his popcorn down. "The only way out is if someone from the outside can break you out. And so far, your colleagues are looking worse for wear." He put his hand on the containment. "But, I could… ehhh, but why would I?"

Just then, GrandWhismon was heard chuckling behind Zeed X's back. The anomalous one turned and faced the Angel. "Oh, good. Someone who gets my sense of humor."

"Oh no, I'm not laughing with you, but… at you."

Zeed X blinked at this. "Hmmm?" He quickly caught numerous pillars of white light explode inside Zenomnimon's royal quarters.

(End theme)

Out from these pillars were the Digital Gods of Destruction and Angels from the 12 Digiverses, minus the pairs from Digiverse 7 and 10.

Champamon and Vadosmon emerged first.

After them, the Digiverse 5 pairing, a fish-faced brown humanoid named Arakmon and a tall, large-framed and square-jawed Angel named Cukatailmon, materialized.

The Digiverse 8 pairing, an anthropomorphic yellow fox named Liqueurmon and a tall, slim Angel named Kornmon, appeared.

The Digiverse 4 pairing, an anthropomorphic yellow mouse named Quitelamon and an Angel with a pompadour style named Cognacmon, appeared.

The Digiverse 9 pairing, a short and rotund-frame green-skinned, and orange-faced man named Sidramon and an Angel with hair parted in the middle named Mojitomon, emerged.

The Digiverse 3 pairing, a large green robot named Mulemon and an Angel with a long underbite and slicked back hair named Camparrimon, appeared.

The Digiverse 2 pairing, an Egyptian-garbed woman named Helesmon and a tall, long-haired Angel named Sourmon, emerged.

The Digiverse 11 pairing, a pale-skinned humanoid clown named Belmodmon and a female two ponytailed Angel named Marcaritamon, appeared.

The Digiverse 1 pairing, a short fuzz-covered anthropomorphic creature with large cartoonish eyes named Iwanmon and a short, rotund Angel named Awamomon, appeared.

The Digiverse 12 pairing, a tall merman with fins for ears named Giinmon and a large framed female Angel named Martinumon, emerged.

(Cue Hunter x Hunter OST - Obvious Difference of Power)

Champamon stepped up and cracked his knuckles. "Hey, are you the hooligan the Grand Minister called us for?!"

Zenomnimon waved his hand to them. "Hey, you're all here! Yay!"

"Lord Zenomnimon?!" Quitelamon exclaimed.

"Don't worry! We're getting you out of there!" The purple plump cat vowed to his superior.

Zeed X chuckled in amusement. "Oh, this is grand, GrandWhismon. You actually called almost all the Destruction Gods and the Angels here… to get rid of me?" He facepalmed and laughed, which irked the Destruction Gods.

"I don't see what's funny and I'm a clown for goodness sakes," Belmodmon remarked.

"Hey! What the hell's so funny, punk? Or, maybe you're laughing 'cause we're about to teach you a lesson!" Champamon pointed to him.

"Oh no, Lord Champamon and the rest of you," Zeed X chuckled, removing his hand from his face. "I'm laughing because this isn't even going to be fair… for all of you." With that, his face contorted and twisted into a dark visage. His eyes quickly became bloodshot red and his mouth curved into a bloody smile.

(End theme)

His voice altered into a distorted and creepy child-like voice. "Heheheh, let us play a game, deities. Eheheh."

The Gods of Destruction and Angels watched black energies permeate from the entity as the darkness started consuming the divine sanctuary.

"Eheheh. Who wants to play? Because I'm ready. Game time."

Dimension: DUA-16

(Cue Cell Theme #4: Perfection Kills – Morganstudios)

The fight against Black Imperfect Virus was reaching its end. Despite Black Imperfect Virus' relentless attacks, the heroes eventually wore him down. Between fighting off BW, the two Artificials, and the four Kuiper Senshi, the abomination couldn't keep up.

"I can't die! I must have these two complete my evolution!" Black Imperfect Virus screeched like mad. He rushed forward, swinging his three tails down and created enough force to send debris flying all over the place.

The group quickly dodged the incoming debris. Varuna crossed both her Stormbreaker ax and Mjolnir, unleashing a thunderous blast that reduced most of the sailing debris into dust. This gave Jax and Sonja room to attack the creature.

"Let's exterminate him, brother!" Sonja boldly called out as she and Jax doubled-teamed the bio-Artificial.

As the two delivered a beating, they evaded his three tails. In an act of desperation, the creature's tails opened up like funnels. The opened tails started pulling in Jax and Sonja like a vacuum. The Artificial twins quickly flew away to avoid the vacuum but were slowly being pulled by the vacuum.

"Grab on!" Jax yelled as he and Sonja snatched each other's hands.

"YES! JOIN WITH ME! YOUR POWERS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED INTO ME AND WE WILL EMBRACE PERFECTION TOGETHER!" Black Imperfect Virus cackled madly until he saw Jax discharge a beam from his hand and fire it his way. "What?!" He withdrew his tails and evaded Jax's beam. "Damn you!"

Suddenly, BW quickly sneaked up behind Black Imperfect Virus and bashed him over the back. He sent the creature crashing to the ground. As BW swooped down and spun around for his Black Tornado, Black Imperfect Virus quickly rolled away and phased out.

As the creature reappeared in the sky, he turned as Sailor Eris turned Dai-Valkyrie mode and swiftly kicked above the sky.

"Bet you didn't see that coming!" Eris shouted at the creature, readying to lasso him up.

However, the bio-artificial recovered in mid-air and opened up his three tails again into funnels. The tails charged up attacks.

"Oh this couldn't get any uglier," Varuna growled as she transformed into her Dai-Valkyrie mode. "Bring on all you want! I'll stop it!" She crossed her Stormbreaker and Mjolnir again.

"Is that so?! Let's see if you can withstand this!" Black Imperfect Virus yelled with a ghostly aura now expanding over him.

Black Imperfect Virus's tails each fired a Black Terra Beam, Black Tsunami Wave, and Black Special Beam Cannon at his opponents, unleashing impending devastation on them. Most of the heroes tried to evade and shielded from the coming attacks as the beams still continued to devastate the area.

"IS THAT ALL, ORGANICS?!" Black Imperfect Virus screeched, laughing at their life or death situation.

Sailors Ixion and Quaoar turned into their Dai-Valkyrie forms. They along with Varuna and Eris evaded getting caught by the destructive blasts. The Artificial twins and BW also dodged the creature's blasts.

"WHERE WILL YOU RUN NOW?!" Black Imperfect Virus taunted them.

"Who said anything about running?!" Varuna hollered as she used Flash Step to get behind Black Imperfect Virus.

Before the creature could attack her, Varuna tossed Mjolnir at Black Imperfect Virus. Suddenly the weight of the hammer caused Black Imperfect Virus to drop to the ground. Varuna then flew down and used Stormbreaker to slice apart Black Imperfect Virus' tails. Then, Quaoar used her Acid Roses to cover the flesh wounds of the insectoid chimera's tails, preventing them from regenerating. Then, Eris roped up the creature's stinger tails and tossed them into the air. Ixion then used poison darts to catch and dissolve the tails into lifeless husks.

"What?! NO! I can't even regenerate!" Black Imperfect Virus furiously glared at Varuna and Quaoar. "You bitches! How dare you prevent me from absorbing Jax and Sonja to achieve my perfection?!"

"Why don't you just shut your a-hole?! Oh wait, can you talk through your ass, scatman?" Varuna smirked, summoning and calling back Mjolnir.

"How dare you speak to me like that woman!" Black Imperfect Virus angrily shouted.

Out of the blue, Quaoar fired her Destructive Rose at Black Imperfect Virus' left arm to ensnare and made it explode. Then fired her Acid Rose to prevent his wound from regenerating.

"Don't you talk down to my man like that." Quaoar defended her lover.

"Thanks, sweetie. Now let me finish this." Varuna declared.

Utilizing her Flash Step again, Varuna used her lightspeed teleport and tossed Mjolnir at him. Having seen the hammer in action, the creature jumped away and evaded.

"I won't be so foolish to fall for the same trick again!" Black Imperfect Virus boasted as he flew into the air and gathered energy to form a one-handed Tsunami Wave. "That's it! You're gone! And here's your trip to hell!"

"Yeah, been there and done that," Varuna remarked, referencing her and her friends' recent journey into their universe's own Niflheim.

Before Black Imperfect Virus could complete his attack, Jax and Sonja appeared on opposite sides. He saw them covered in cyan auras. Their eyes opened and glowed with cyan light. The twins initiated their Data Angel Modes. Grid-like skeletons shaped over the twins and quill-like protrusions shaped like wings formed from their backs.

"What is this?! I don't recall either of you having these protocols implemented into your programs?! Did Datamon did this?!"

"Datamon? That crazy hack doesn't have anywhere near the genius that our current caretakers did with us," Jax said.

"These are our Data Angel Modes. You can thank a playboy philanthropist and a lady who recently overcame a sweet addition to upgrade us," Sonja plainly stated without referencing any names. "But, that won't matter because you'll be dead."

"Who's going to kill me?! YOU?! Even wounded, I'm still stronger than-!" Before the bio-Artificial can finish, he saw their wings send rays of light that pierced and burned his body. He yelled out blood-curdling screams.

"Let's take him down, sis!"

With that, Jax and Sonja quickly launched at Black Imperfect Virus. Then, they landed a double uppercut to the bio-Artificial's face, critically damaging him. As Black Imperfect Virus attempted to regenerate, Varuna quickly phased in front of him. Following a few quick blows with Mjolnir, Varuna bashed the bio-artificial upward, before crossing her ax and Mjolnir together. Combining the powers of her tools with her own energy, she unleashed Mjolnir's Flash Cannon from Thor's hammer, engulfing the weakened Black Imperfect Virus.

"NO! CURSE YOU!" Black Imperfect Virus screamed in horror.

The beam then completely vaporized Black Imperfect Virus. The group descended to take a breather after defeating their opponent.

BW sighed with relief. "And it's over."

"Thank goodness," Sonja remarked, satisfied over her and Jax's nightmare being wiped out.

"That'll teach him," Varuna muttered as she kissed her Stormbreaker and Mjolnir.

"Great shot, Varuna. You made sure nothing's left of him!" Eris praised.

"We gotta help Orcus next." Ixion announced to the Kuipers.

"Right, let's go." Quaoar said.

"By the way, you two," Varuna turned to Jax and Sonja. "What did you call that? Data Angel Mode?"

"Yeah, sis has had it longer and I recently got that upgrade," Jax replied.

"But, this is only the third time I've ever had to use it," Sonja added.

"Have the forms done anything to augment your powers?" BW asked them.

"Naturally, I got a decent boost after my sparring match with Tai and it happened again here. In no time, I might end up with greater strength than sis since she never engaged someone like Tai."

Sonja scoffed, rolling her eyes away. "Sure, rub it in, bro."

Varuna nodded. "Hahah, sounds great. C'mon, let's see if the others need us."

The Artificial twins and BW followed the Kuipers to find Sailor Orcus and Dramon X's locations.

The fight against Nyarlathotep was also nearing its conclusion. Hundreds of more cubic lasers and tendrils trapped the Duelists while Nyarla laughed at them. Yugi and Téa both conjured an energy dome to block them.

"Give up now! You can't stop me!" Nyarla cackled and taunted his adversaries.

Yugi glared above Nyarla and retorted, "No, we still got our trump cards! Behold!"

A bright light shone through the dome, evaporating the lasers and tendrils. The Duelists then reached higher Duel Monster levels: Yugi became Legendary Magician of Dark, Seto turned into Legendary Dragon of White, Téa became Magi Magi Magician Gal, and Joey turned into Phoenix Gearfried.

"Aw yeah! Get ready for a beating, jerkass!" Joey pumped his fist up and threatened Nyarla.

"Yeah, that'll really rile him up," Seto growled, shifting his gaze toward Nyarla. "This time, we are going to evaporate you to dust!"

"Go ahead and give it your all!" Nyarla goaded them, countering and sending cubes that fired multiple lasers and tendrils at the Duelists again.

However, Yugi and Seto fired their dark and light attacks to evaporate and destroy all of the cubes. Joey swooped above Nyarla, to which Nyarla sent tendrils from his back, but Joey sliced them through and punched Nyarla's face. Then, Téa came behind and delivered a magic attack from her staff to damage Nyarla. Nyarla fired two beams from his hands, but Joey and Téa evaded. Seto crashed into Nyarla and delivered claw strikes, damaging the eldritch being. Yugi climbed on top of Seto's head and blasted Nyarla with Dark Magic Attack.

"Hahaha…! Well done defeating me, Duelists!" Nyarla chortled. "Even in defeat, chaos shall still wage war on for you."

Nyarlathotep then disappeared and died right off the spot.

"That took care of the freakshow." Seto snorted, not giving a single crap about Nyarla's demise.

"Then let's go help the others," Yugi suggested as he rode on Seto toward the other battle locations. Téa and Joey followed them.

(Cue Neurotech – Evolving Equations)

The Shadow Dramon fights were nearing their end. At the same time, all the Corrupted Appmons have already been beaten.

The group handling the enormous SuperRagedramon was just about done neutralizing him. Hackmon already evolved into Raidramon.

SuperRagedramon sent more shockwave bolts at his opponents, but HerculesKabuterimon and Donarmon absorbed the energies with assistance from Rei & Raidramon's hacking abilities.

"Go, Raidramon!" Rei ordered.

Raidramon complied as he used Barrage Jack, sinking his claws to the ground. He sent spikes towards SuperRagedramon, ending with a ball exploding under the Shadow Dramon's feet. SuperRagedramonwas then sent flying into the air.

Then, Kyoko summoned chains from her spear and ensnared SuperRagedramon. Once she bound him, ShineGreymon, Ravemon, and Inumuramon combined their melee attacks, delivering a slew of combo attacks on the Shadow Dramon.

"Wait! Don't!" SuperRagedramon pleaded while taking a beating.

"No chance! Ready, ShineGreymon?!" Masaru bellowed while his fist glowed with fiery energy.

"Let's bring this loser down!" ShineGreymon roared as a fiery aura flared over him. He briefly entered Burst Mode state.

Masaru and ShineGreymon BM finished off the Shadow Dramon with their fists, causing SuperRagedramon to explode into bursts of electricity.

"We did it, Aniki!" ShineGreymon exclaimed.

"Yeah, like it was nothing!" Masaru grinned. He saw the broken Digicore half drop from the sky.

"That's our Digicore! Somebody grab it!" Izzy shouted.

Kyoko jumped up and caught the orb. "Great work, guys! One down, six more to go!" She flashed a toothy grin and showed off the Digicore piece to Izzy.

"Thanks, all we need are the other Digicores. Hope the others can beat those monsters," the Bearer of Knowledge said.

The group dealing with the annoyance that is SuperHazedramon were settling their battle. Musimon already evolved into Mediamon. SuperHazedramon kept firing poison blasts at his evasive opponents.

"Can you keep this up, weaklings?!" SuperHazedramon taunted them.

"How about this, idiot?!" Mediamon cried out.

Mediamon then used VirtualVerse, a technique that generated a giant warship from out of nowhere. Its ion cannon fired at the Shadow Dramon.

SuperHazedramon yelped, panicking that he dodged the blasts. However, Mediamon fired his Howling Blast from his speakers. The supersonic pulse damaged the Shadow Dramon, knocking him off balance.

The Shadow Dramon quickly got up and saw blasts from the VirtualVerse ship being fired at him. He was bombarded constantly.

Then, Vikemon, Yetimon, and Mastemon unleashed simultaneous attacks on the vulnerable Shadow Dramon the heroes. SuperHazedramon then waved a white flag.

"I give, I give!"

But, it's too late. The attacks consumed and obliterated the Shadow Dramon.

"YEAH! We rule didn't we?!" Asta and Mediamon gave their victory poses together.

"That really takes care of that." Larry stated.

"Indeed," Marty nodded.

"Great work, guys!" Cody cheered on Vikemon.

"Hey, something's falling!" Meryl pointed up.

Yetimon raised a hand and caught the second Digicore. "It's the Digicore!"

Cody sighed with relief. "Oh good. If we beat these things, then the Digicores will be ours again."

SuperOceandramon was on the verge of a losing battle against her opposition. Dokamon already evolved to Dosukomon.

"THIS TIME, YOU WILL ALL BE ENGULFED BY MY WAVES!" SuperOceandramon screamed furiously.

The Shadow Dramon unleashed a huge tidal wave over the heroes. Plesiomon and Renrukimon formed a watery barrier, repelling the tsunami. Dosukomon used Jet Headbutt and torpedoed through the tidal wave. The Appmon quickly delivered a fatal headbutt to SuperOceandramon's forehead.

The Shadow Dramon cried out in pain, "WHY YOU-!"

SuperOceandramon was about to slash at Dosukomon, but Rosemon cut her off and lashed her hand with her rose hip. SuperOceadramon withdrew her injured hand. Then, Ventimon fired a wind attack, deflecting the tidal wave back at the Shadow Dramon, soaking her. MirageGaogamon and Rosemon quickly beat down SuperOceandramon. Finally, Renrukimon unleashed a thunderstorm that shocked the Shadow Dramon, vaporizing her for good.

"Alright! We gave her an explosive punch!" Eri cheered.

"Yeah, that was a close call!" Joe cried out.

Renrukimon posed triumphantly. "Too close, but we still win." She then saw the Digicore falling from the sky.

Ventimon flew up and nabbed the Digicore. "Yeah, great work!"

The group handling SuperNaturodramon was finishing up. Gatchmon already evolved to DoGatchmon. At this point, the Xros Hearts were ready to finish the Shadow Dramon.

"Okay! Let's Digi-Xros!" Taiki cried out while raising his Xros Loader.

OmegaShoutmon, ZekeGreymon, Dorulumon, Ballistamon, Sparrowmon, and the Starmons all fused into the mighty Shoutmon X7.

"What the…?! You brats think a little fusion can stop me?!" SuperNaturodramon boasted.

"Not if we can help it!" DoGatchmon retorted.

Shoutmon X7 and SuperNaturodramon then clashed and pounded each other with a flurry of punches. SuperNaturodramon then swiped at Shoutmon X7 with his tail and kicked up another earthquake toward the Xros-fused Digimon. However, Terryamon unleashed his own earthquake, stopping the Shadow Dramon's. DoGatchmon flew across, hitting SuperNaturodramon's face DoGatch Buster. Then, DoGatchmon used Sonic Slash, combining two of his pointers into a sword and slashed at the Shadow Dramon.

"Ow! You'll pay for that runt!" SuperNaturodramon yelled out.

The Shadow Dramon was about to attack the Appmon, but Terryamon interceded the monster's path and punched him back. Mami summoned ribbons, which then turned into a giant gun. Mami's giant gun then opened fire numerous magical rounds and damaged the Shadow Dramon.

"Thanks, Henry and Terriermon!" Taiki called out. "Now, let him have it, Team Xros Heart!"

"Game over for you!" Shoutmon X7 quickly recovered and used his Final Victory Blade, firing a fiery 'V' shaped aura blast that critically injured SuperNaturodramon.

Finally, Shoutmon X7 used All Omega the Fusion, summoning an Omegamon-shaped aura that engulfed SuperNaturodramon and obliterated him.

"Hey, thanks for saving me!" DoGatchmon gave his gratitude to Shoutmon X7.

"No sweat it, we all help a friend in need." Shoutmon X7 replied.

"Indeed, and we're in this together," Mami nodded.

"And that's reminds me I don't have to stay on the sidelines in order to be a protagonist!" Haru smiled of his goal.

Suddenly, Taiki saw the Shadow Dramon's Digicore fall from the air. He raced over to catch it.

"Whew, we can't let this break. Tai and his friends are gonna need this back," Taiki realized.

The battle against SuperNuovadramon was reaching its end.

Anguirusmon, Varanmon, Rodanmon, and KingCaesarmon blasted the Shadow Dramon, distracting him. SuperNuovadramon easily guarded against them, but Daike and Kara fired a Tri-Force Attack. This Tri-beam attack pushed SuperNuovadramon away.

SuperNuovadramon somersaulted and flapped his wings, sending heat spheres at the two D3s. Daike and Kara dodged. The Shadow Dramon belched a spiraling, fiery blast at the kids. Daike countered with his ghosts as fire and ghosts exploded as they collided. Daike quickly then went Super Ascendant 3 and flew toward SuperNuovadramon.

"Dun dun dun! Here I come!" Daike announced as he flew over SuperNuovadramon.

Then, Sam came in as he and Daike teamed up, kicking the Shadow Dramon away. Daike then whipped out his Galactic Donut and tried to bind SuperNuovadramon. SuperNouvadramon rebounded and unleashed a fiery aura that fizzled the donut attack and blew away the D3s.

This distraction allowed KaiserGreymon to launch a full-powered Dragonfire Crossbow, which was enough to pierce through SuperNuovadramon's body. The Shadow Dramon cried out in pain. Finally, Dai-Valkyrie Brunhilde Mizuchi Mode imbued her sword in blue and red flames. The two coalescing flames became purple and radiated the sword with intense energy.

"You're finished!" Brunhilde shouted as she cut through SuperNuovadramon a few times. She instantly flew through SuperNuovadramon, landing a critical blow to the Shadow Dramon. She turned to meet the Shadow Dramon, who was heard chuckling.

"Gotta hand it to you, you're all not bad fighters." SuperNuovadramon muttered. "If I had another life as an honorable person instead of being a dark creation's instrument, I would've found my purpose."

"Hey. Thanks for not hurting my sister," Daike added with a thumbs up. "You're not such a bad guy. Why not fight with us?"

Brunhilde added. "Yeah, you'd definitely be a big help taking down the rest of those dragons and Zamasmon."

"Thank you, but my time has expired… farewell, brave warriors," SuperNuovadramon faded into a fiery pillar. All that remained of him was his Digicore, which fell into Brunhilde's hand.

"What a guy," Kara muttered.

"He pretty much gave us a good fight. I wish he would've fought with us," KaiserGreymon commented.

Gripping the Digicore in her hand, Brunhilde smirked. "Same here, but that's enough about that."

"Yeah, we've got other jerkasses to beat!" Daike openly declared and powered up. "Ready, guys?!"

xxxxx

Likewise, the battle against SuperEisdramon was near its end. Despite the Shadow Dramon's strength, he was greatly overwhelmed by his opposition.

"Is that all you've got?!" SuperEisdramon hissed and flew into the air. He raised his hands and launched a barrage of icicles at his opponents.

The group scattered and evaded the incoming icicles. However, Skuld was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey, where's that creepy woman hiding?!"

Suddenly, a pillar of hellish flames impacted SuperEisdramon. He whirled around as Skuld flew in on him and fired a hellfire blast at him. SuperEisdramon caught it, which shattered his ice defenses.

"What?! No, this can't be!" SuperEisdramon blanched at Skuld's hellfire breaking his ice body.

"Take this!" Skuld screamed as she punched through SuperEisdramon chest, breaking open a hole in his ice armor. "Do it! I've neutralized him!"

The Legendary Warriors of Light & Darkness, BanchoLeomon, Sheila, and Pikkan seized advantage. MagnaGarurumon and YamiLeomon delivered a tag-team combo, sending light and darkness attacks at the Shadow Dramon. Sheila backed them up with her kicks and bound him with paralysis threads. Pikkan unleashed his Thunder Flash Attack. The blast quickly broke SuperEisdramon apart. Then, after briefly going Burst Mode, BanchoLeomon summoned his Pantera Sword over SuperEisdramon and unleashed an immense blast that eradicated what's left of SuperEisdramon.

"That takes care of him." Pikkan said.

Sheila compliment, "Good for you to bring that new toy with you, kitty."

"Not a problem." BanchoLeomon BM replied before he and the others sensed Omega X and Metalla X, "They're already going all out. As the only Shadow Dramon left, OmegaSyndramon is heads and shoulders above the rest of them."

Just then, SuperEisdramon's Digicore fell from the sky. Skuld caught the Digicore and gave it to BanchoLeomon BM.

"This belongs to you and your friends," Skuld said, to which BanchoLeomon BM thanked her.

(Cue Neurotech – Divided Bliss)

Omega X, Metalla X, Madoka, Guilkatomon, Sailor Moon, Kaimodosu X AM Sora & Phoenixmon, and Mimi & Rosemon continued their all-out conflict with Black Omega X and OmegaSyndramon.

"You're not going to win! We outnumber you!" Omega X yelled out, throwing hands with Black Omega X. He then formed golden discs in his hands. He spun around and tossed the Gaia Discs as they flew forward and ignited with intense fire.

Black Omega X quickly dodged the Gaia Discs and raised both hands. He forged similar-looking energy discs, but these were dark purple and powered by dark energy.

"Anything you can do, I can, too!" Black Omega X boasted, tossing his dark energy disc variation, the Black Gaia Discs.

Omega X evaded the Black Ascendant's discs. Omega X motioned over his discs toward him and sent them toward Black Omega X's. Their discs cut through and cancelled each other out.

Omega X sensed an accumulating Ki and turned around as Black Omega X formed an even bigger Black Gaia Disc with both hands. He tossed it at Omega X, who prepared to stop it with a Tsunami Wave. However, Dai-Valkyrie Sailor Moon intervened and used her sword to cut the giant disc in two.

"Well, well, magnificently done, lunar princess," Black Omega X clapped mockingly.

"That was a close one," Omega X addressed Moon. "Thanks."

"We're looking out for each other, aren't we?" Moon reminded him. "I can't stand seeing him wear your face and identity."

"Too bad. I rather like this face and body," Black Omega X remarked as he caressed his face.

Guilkatomon flew past Omega X and Moon, making headway toward Black Omega X.

"That's exactly why I don't like you! You're disgracing Tai by wearing this face! And I won't stand for anyone blemishing my idols!" Guilkatomon readily charged up and fired his Hazard Wave at the Black Ascendant.

Smirking evilly, Black Omega X imbued black Ki into his hands. He pushed both hands out and stopped Guilkatomon's explosive attack. He effortlessly pushed Guilkatomon's beam back at him. Guilkatomon narrowly dodged the incoming blast, allowing him to drop his guard, which Black Omega X exploited with ease. Black Omega X quickly got the drop on Guilkatomon and blasted him down.

"Ugh!" Guilkatomon grunted as he hit the earth hard.

"Takato!" Omega X yelled out as he and Moon flew down to check on him.

As the two tended to Guilkatomon, Metalla X shot out of debris and headed up toward Black Omega X. He unleashed a Big Bang Attack. Black Omega X quickly stopped the attack and sent it hurtling into far off into space.

"Such a stubborn fool you are! You just don't know when to concede?!" Black Omega X cackled, taunting Metalla X.

"Concede to you, a rosé-haired imposter like yourself?! In your dreams!" Metalla X snarled, growing frustrated with the Black variant of his rival/friend. He powered up and rocketed toward the rosé-haired Black Ascendant.

Metalla X unloaded a flurry of punches, refusing to be done in by fatigue and defeat. Every time he saw the Black Ascendant with his rival's face, he couldn't be any more motivated to punch his face, bash his skull in, and break every bone in his body.

"Everytime I look at you, you piss me off! You continue to remind me of him!" Metalla X harshly chastised him. He shot up and kicked Black Omega X's gut, finally landing a blow on the Black Ascendant. He then headbutted Black Omega X's face and clubbed him in the back. "And each second I look at you, I'm constantly reminded of how far behind I am. To know someone else can easily take an alternate version of my rival's body and utilize his potential and creating a new variation of a Super Ascendant form, you think for one minute I'm going to stand by and let you leave me in the dust?! Like hell I will!" He swooped down and landed a kick into Black Omega X's gut, causing him to cough up saliva.

Metalla X grabbed Black Omega X's hair and headbutted him.

"I can barely tolerate losing to my Tai, but I absolutely refuse to lose to a fake like you!" Metalla X shouted into Black Omega X's face.

"You increased your power this much in such a short time?!" Black Omega X was baffled. He and Metalla X locked each other's hands into a standstill. "So you aren't warriors for nothing!" He noticed being pushed back by Metalla X.

Metalla X jumped up and kicked Black Omega X straight through several buildings.

"Holy crap! Yamato's had this built up in him?!" Guilkatomon was taken aback.

"I'm not surprised. Yamakins really still does hate me that much," Omega X sighed. "But his hatred for the fake me doubles that."

"It also helps that Madoka healed Yamato. Her healing gave him a heck of a boost." Sora added.

Moon nodded. "He may still need our help though. And don't forget…" She looked up as she motioned them to OmegaSyndramon fighting Kaimodosu X AM, Phoenixmon, and Rosemon. "Madoka's healing and defense magic can only help them so long."

"Tai!" Sora called out as she hovered down carrying Mimi. "I've tried sending my own power to enhance Phoenixmon, but it's still not enough. I'm not even sure I can merge with her and become an Ascendant!"

"You have to tap harder, Sora. Intense emotions will bring it out. Remember what happened when Burizalor and the Warlord almost killed me and Max! Wait, that's it! Use Max as a motivator! Think about him and how we're fighting to save him!" Omega X reminded her.

The Bearer of Love nodded. "Ok, I will!"

"Hurry, because that big creep's about to attack Phoenixmon, Rosemon, and Dorothy again!" Mimi cried out.

Meanwhile, Madoka breathed hard, struggling to maintain her magic defense spells, which protected Kaimodosu X AM, Phoenixmon, and Rosemon.

"I can only hold it for so long…" Madoka panted as she watched OmegaSyndramon's negative energy tearing through her defense walls. "Ah!" She was struck with a negative energy wave.

"MADOKA!" The group cried out to her.

Omega X wasted no time flying up and catching Madoka. He set her down.

"Sorry, Tai… I tried to hold him off as best I can…" The pink-haired Puella apologized to him.

"I won't let your hard work be in vain, Madoka!" Kaimodosu X AM declared, converting her power staff into a long white saber. She jumped up into the air, slashing her saber around and forging streams of thin lines that formed into energy blades that pierced into OmegaSyndramon.

OmegaSyndramon absorbed the piercing energy blades and flew straight up. He reached for Kaimodosu X AM, who then proceeded to hit OmegaSyndramon with a Kamen Rider-styled kick to his face. Kaimodosu X AM then shoved her saber through OmegaSyndramon's stomach and kicked him back.

Phoenixmon swooped down and engulfed OmegaSyndramon in flames. Rosemon swung her thorn vine and slashed multiple strikes at the Shadow Dramon. OmegaSyndramon repelled both Digimon back, leaving Kaimodosu X AM open to attack him. Kaimodosu AM X used Dee's candy beam, attempting to turn the Shadow Dramon into a chocolate-flavored Dramon, but the Shadow Dramon dodged and let the beam hit a building turning it into a giant candy bar.

"Hold still!" Kaimodosu AM X fired another candy beam.

OmegaSyndramon dodged again as the beam hit a mountain of debris and turned it into a pile of gumballs.

"That's it!" Kaimodosu AM X dove at OmegaSyndramon and kicked him hard in the face, but the Shadow Dramon was barely fazed.

"Enough humoring me. Now I'll kill you!" OmegaSyndramon snarled, grabbing Kaimodosu X AM's arm. As he prepared to blast her into oblivion, a beam of blue Ki struck OmegaSyndramon's back. "What?! Taichi, you fool…!"

"Do it, Dorothy!" Omega X cheered her on.

With his guard dropped, Kaimodosu X AM pushed OmegaSyndramon back and threw her hands up. Pink light quickly enveloped her and expanded outward. OmegaSyndramon was not only caught within the light but the damage was done. OmegaSyndramon flew back covered in scratches and burns.

"You'll pay for that…!" OmegaSyndramon snarled at the ex-Teen-Reaper, who dealt him damage to his body and pride.

Kaimodosu X AM smiled as Dee's essence materialized next to her. "Thanks, Dee. Our combined strength was enough to hurt him." In response, Dee raised both fists and happily hooted.

Meanwhile, Metalla X and Black Omega X traded fisticuffs and kicks on the other side of the ruined vicinity. Metalla X kicked Black Omega X away and rocketed toward him with a straight jab. The Black Ascendant quickly seized Metalla X's fist. He formed a rosé Ki blade in his right and grinned.

"Now bleed for me Yamakins!" Black Omega X brandished his rosé Ki blade while grinning maniacally.

"No, but you will!" Metalla X roared as Black Omega X tried to behead him, but he lifted his right arm, countering the Black Ascendant's deadly strike.

"Damn you!"

"Do I need to remind you where you miscalculated?!" Metalla X chided him.

"What do you mean…?!"

"That body of yours…" Metalla X punched him in the face. "...right down to the corners of its cells…!" He kicked Black Omega X up and down again. He then grabbed Black Omega X's face and shoved him toward the ground. "...was forged by Taichi's long, hard fought history of combat! For you and your friends, you're just using copied vessels!" He punched Black Omega X into the ground.

As Black Omega X's body bounced off the earth, Metalla X punched him down again and unloaded with a flurry of punches. Each punch was fueled with his fury.

"Only a real stubborn fool like him can utilize the Ascendant cells within him!" Metalla X ranted on while punching and pummeling the Black Ascendant like there was no tomorrow. "Utilizing them to their very fullest!" He drove his fist into Black Omega X's gut.

Boom!

From the point he punched Black Omega X, Metalla X's blue aura expanded and wiped out their fighting location. As the debris cleared, Black Omega X was left mulling over losing ground to an 'inferior opponent' he previously and easily disposed of.

"Why is there such a big power gap between us…?" Black Omega X muttered, struggling to stand.

Metalla X grabbed a handful of the Black Ascendant's rosé hair. "You really want to know?" He headbutted Black Omega X's forehead and punched him back. As he saw Black Omega X's nose and lip bleeding, the blue-haired Ascendant proudly smirked. "It's because you're a counterfeit. You're an Ascendant imposter. And I'm the real deal. I am a true Ascendant! I AM THE ALMIGHTY YAMATO!" When he yelled, his blue aura flared outward.

Matt internally gave Yamato his props. 'Nicely done, but you could've said 'I am Lord Yamakins!' Y'know just give yourself a title name to feed your ego.'

Laugh it up. You're not ruining my moment here, Matt. Metalla X focused on Black Omega X, who tried to fly away only for Omega X, Moon, and Guilkatomon to stop him.

"Give it up," Moon readied her sword.

"You're starting to lose ground, 'Zamasmon'," Omega X stood in a fighting stance.

Black Omega X sneered, forming a condescending grin. "No, it's not over yet."

Now working together as a group, alongside the other Kuipers' arrival: Angemon X, Dramon X, Houou Mars, Sedna, Varuna, Quaoar, Eris, Ixion, Athena X, Dramon X's partners (CyberBeelzemon, Titaniamon, Number 39 Utopia, and his OmegaShoutmon), and Kirito & Asuna (Corner) fought off Black Angemon X, Black Dramon X and Orcus/Tsukuyomimon Death Mode.

Black Dramon X taunted Dramon X while holding him off, "See how you fail at protecting Sailor Orcus?! Shows how much of an accelerated pussy you are, Kenny! Why don't you handle it in a manly way than whine and getting skull-fucked like a little bitch?!"

"The only one who's gonna be a little bitch and get skull-fucked is you!" Dramon X roared. "Especially when I shove cannons up your ass!" He quickly grabbed Black Dramon X and slammed him through a building.

As the building collapsed with the two crashing into it, Black Dramon X used the debris smoke as a veil to conceal his presence from Dramon X.

"And who's the pussy now?! I'm not the one hiding!" Dramon X powered up as his aura pushed away the smoke. He revealed Black Dramon X, who flew at and attempted to blast him with a Black Ryuken Wave.

Dramon X narrowly dodged Black Dramon X's sneak attack and caught him with a punch to the face. Dramon X shot straight into Black Dramon X and unloaded a series of hard-hitting punches into the Black Ascendant. Black Dramon X tried covering up, but Dramon X's relentless punches broke his defenses and pummeled him.

"I'm not letting you go scot free for what you did to Christina! I will break her free from your control, YOU BASTARD!" Dramon X bellowed like a beast as he grabbed Black Dramon X's face and crushed it in his hands. He prepared to unleash Dova Finger and pop off Black Dramon X's head.

However, Black Dramon X broke loose and blasted Dramon X with Black Soul Force. Dramon X rebounded and summoned a sword from his shoulder shield and slashed Black Dramon X with his S.O.L. Purge Slash. Black Dramon X countered with his variation: S.O.L. Corruption Slash. As they crossed blades, the two played push back against the other.

Dramon X and Black Dramon X opened up their weapons, revealing cannons and fired off their S.O.L. Draco Cannon/S.O.L Black Cannon at the same time. Both attacks collided and created a big explosion that knocked both warriors far back.

"Ken!" Titaniamon called out to him.

"Damn, they both got sent hella far!" CyberBeelzemon spat out. "Stay focused, babe! We got our hands full with Ken's girl."

"Thanks for coming to help us, you four," OmegaShoutmon acknowledged the four Kuipers.

"No problem. I can't believe that asshole turned Orcus into this!" Varuna exclaimed.

"And now he's counting on us to fight our own friend! How low can you get?!" Ixion reproved of this development.

"Same. I don't want to fight our own friend," Eris expressed disdain for the situation.

"Me either, but if we want to reach out for Orcus, we'll have to fight her now that's under their control now," Quaoar stated.

Sedna affirmed her stance on the situation. "Believe me, you four. I don't want to fight Christina myself. We need to restrain her and hopefully purge the corruption out of her. Just seeing any form of Tsukuyomimon Death Mode scares me."

Orcus/Tsukuyomimon Death Mode chuckled darkly, her tone sounding cruel and sardonic. "Aww, too scared to fight me? Afraid I'm gonna cut y'all up like sliced pork?! I'm not just gonna cut you up, but dunk you in sauce!" She brandished her scythe and flew at the Kuipers and Kensuke's Digimon (and Duel Monster).

As the group evaded Tsukuyomimon DM, CyberBeelzemon loaded gunfire to knock the scythe out of her hands. Tsukuyomimon DM stopped the bullets with her scythe.

"Damn it!" CyberBeelzemon readied a shotgun fire, but Tsukuyomimon DM sliced the shotgun barrels in two. "Crap!"

"Hehehe, slice and dice!" Tsukuyomimon DM, wearing a sadistic look, brought down the scythe to slice CyberBeelzemon in two.

Titaniamon pushed CyberBeelzemon, narrowly saving him from getting bisected. Titaniamon raised her sword and blocked Tsukuyomimon DM's scythe blade.

"Christina, it's us!" Titaniamon yelled to her. "Sedna, go for it!"

With that, Dai-Valkyrie Sedna flew at Tsukuyomimon DM and smashed her Ice Trident against the corrupted warrior's side.

"Ugh, you frigid bitch! C'mon here!' Tsukuyomimon DM cursed as she prepared to attack Sedna.

Just then, a lasso ensnared and yanked away Tsukuyomimon DM's scythe. She turned and sighted Eris discarding the scythe away. Ixion swiftly flew over Tsukuyomimon DM and fired Paralysis Arrows to neutralize her. Tsukuyomimon DM fired a blast, taking out all the arrows. Quaoar tossed her Destructive Roses at her corrupted friend.

"Ugh, have you forgotten I already now y'alls attack playbook?! So pre-DICT-able!" Tsukuyomimon DM burned Quaoar's roses with an aura.

"Yeah?! How's this for pre-DICT-able?!" Roared Varuna, who used Flash Step to get in front of Tsukuyomimon DM and bashed her in the chest with Mjolnir. She swiftly knocked Tsukuyomimon DM high up and swooped up driving Mjolnir over the corrupted warrior's head.

"Yikes, that was going too far, Varuna!" Quaoar called out.

"That thing isn't our friend. She's got our friend held captive inside her," Varuna said, wielding both her Stormbreaker and Mjolnir. "All right, you psychopathic bitch, c'mon…!"

Whoosh!

Tsukuyomimon DM shot up so fast she was right back in Varuna's face. Varuna backed off, dismayed by her quick recovery.

"YOU RANG?!" Tsukuyomimon DM giggled evilly. She smashed her hands over Varuna, but jumped up and avoided getting pulverized.

Varuna brought down both her ax and Mjolnir. However, Tsukuyomimon DM seized both weapons and kicked Varuna far back. To Tsukuyomimon's surprise, the weight of Mjolnir sent her crashing to the ground. She struggled to lift the hammer while holding Varuna's Stormbreaker.

"Aw, son of a bitch! How did I forget only worthy ones can lift this stupid hammer?!" Tsukuyomimon DM cursed her own short sightedness.

"NOW!" Sedna yelled out as she and the Kuipers blasted her from all sides.

"Shit…!" Tsukuyomimon DM cursed as their attacks connected with her.

As Tsukuyomimon DM stumbled around, Quaoar uprooted a giant vine from the ground and hit the corrupted warrior with it. Eris used her lasso to summon a tornado, which pulled Tsukuyomimon DM into it and sent her flying into the air. As the corrupted warrior hit the ground, Varuna beckoned Mjolnir back to her hand and clobbered Tsukuyomimon DM's face with it.

"OmegaShoutmon! Cross with me!" Titaniamon called to her golden armored colleague.

From afar Kensuke's B.A.X. Digivice activated and granted his partners their Xros Fusion powers. Titaniamon and OmegaShoutmon Xros Fused into OmegaTitaniamon.

OmegaTitaniamon rushed Tsukuyomimon DM. OmegaTitaniamon smashed an elbow into Tsukuyomimon DM, sending her sailing back. Tsukuyomimon DM flew right back at OmegaTitaniamon and briefly traded punches with her. Tsukuyomimon DM went for a straight jab, but OmegaTitaniamon ducked and grabbed the corrupted warrior's arm and tossed her far back through several walls.

OmegaTitaniamon powered up with a golden sheen surrounding her. She amassed raw energy from her aura and sent a hail of fiery blasts at Tsukuyomimon DM's way. Tsukuyomimon DM quickly recovered and rushed OmegaTitaniamon. However, the golden-armored warrior sidestepped Tsukuyomimon DM and caught her with fiery punches. OmegaTitaniamon topped it off by blasting her with Twin Fireball Strike.

Tsukuyomimon DM's body gets pummeled like never before. She couldn't keep up with their quick attacks.

"Damn it! I won't be done in!" Tsukuyomimon DM cried out furiously. Blinded by fury, the corrupted warrior bombarded the vicinity with dark blasts. The Kuipers and Kensuke's partners spread out, avoiding the corrupted warrior's destructive blasts.

"We can't give up, guys! Christina wouldn't want us to quit now!" Sedna rallied her troops. Don't worry, brother. We're going to save Christina no matter what!

Tsukuyomimon DM chuckled, rising as her darkened eyes gleamed red. "Christina belongs to me now, bitches. Deal with it!"

"Hey, Varuna," Quaoar whispered to her. "If anything can purge that thing and free Christina, Mjolnir will do."

"Yeah, that hammer's did more damage than any of our attacks," Eris said.

Ixion concurred with this. "It's worth a shot. Just strike her really good with it again."

Gazing over Mjolnir, Varuna nodded. "Ok, let's do this, Mjolnir."

"Eff this! I'm ending this now!" Tsukuyomimon DM flew at the Kuipers and Kensuke's partners.

Suddenly, Kirito and Asuna (Corner) came out of hiding, striking Tsukuyomimon DM head-on with a combined series of sword/rapier strikes. Both combined their sword techniques and delivered a Climhazzard, sending a wave of sword strikes through Tsukuyomimon DM, dealing some damage but not enough to neutralize her.

"Go for it!" Asuna (Corner) called out.

"Do what you gotta do!" Kirito (Corner) said.

Readying Mjolnir, Varuna rushed Tsukuyomimon DM.

"You stupid bugs…! You'll pay!" Tsukuyomimon DM directed her gaze on Kirito and Asuna (Corner). She swiped at Asuna (Corner) first, but Kirito (Corner) covered for her and took the brunt of Tsukuyomimon DM's strike.

However, she dropped her guard as Varuna smashed Mjolnir through her chest, which cracked open her dark armor. Varuna then imbued Mjolnir with her light power, unleashing Mjolnir's Flash Cannon, which not only obliterated Tsukuyomimon DM's outer layered dark form, but purged the entity out and purified her back into Sailor Orcus.

"Orcus!" Sedna cried out, catching Orcus in her arms. "Hey, can you hear me?! Orcus!"

Orcus finally came to and looked up at Sedna. "W-What happened? Where am I? Ah! That's right, we were fighting those Black Ascendants!" She sprang up only to collapse on her knees. "Ugh, feels like I just went through a car wreck! Did we win?"

"Not even close, but we did save you," Ixion said.

Quaoar nodded. "Yes, thanks to Varuna here. She saved you."

"Me? You mean us!" Varuna spat out.

Orcus looked perplexed at her friends. "...Varuna saved me? From what?"

OmegaTitaniamon shook her head. "It's best if you don't remember."

CyberBeelzemon sighed. "Yeah, it beats having to tell ya."

"You were out of it after that Black Ascendant knocked you out and captured you," Sedna reassured Orcus. "Don't worry we saved you, but Tai, Dimitri, and brother are fighting those three now."

"Oh yeah? Then, let's go check them out!" Orcus said with new enthusiasm. "I wanna see those three beat the snot out of those fakes! I hope Ken beats that fake Ken for taking me away! We don't want to miss this!"

As Orcus badgered her friends to take her to see the Black Ascendant battles, Sedna's spirit partner, Knut the polar bear, telepathically reached Orcus' partner, Razor the bat.

Knut telepathed with Razor. 'Do you at least remember what happened?'

Razor sighed. 'Sadly I do, but that gem's power coupled with the Black Ascendant's dark energy suppressed me once he put Christina under his control. I could only look on helplessly as she was forced to fight with Sedna and the others.'

Knut added. 'Well for now, at least, Christina is back and she likely won't remember anything that happened.'

'It's for the best, Knut. Now we and our Kuipers have other matters to attend to.'

'Indeed they do.'

Elsewhere, Super Angemon X and Black Angemon X unleashed fisticuffs on each other. Super Angemon X caught Black Angemon X with a punch. Black Angemon X stopped his adversary's fist and blasted him away. Super Angemon X was pushed up into the air, riding the blast with him.

"You're far too slow, Dimitri! Didn't you know sacrificing speed for power is a costly mis-!" Black Angemon X stopped mid-sentence as Super Angemon X phased in front of him. "No!"

"Who's slow now?!" Super Angemon X decked Black Angemon X with a right hand. He briefly powered down from his 'Super' state and discharged his Burning Attack on the Black Ascendant.

Athena X watched from a safe distance, cheering on Angemon X. "Yeah, that's it, dad! Don't let him get away!"

Angemon X dashed head-on and punched Black Angemon X. However, the Black Ascendant caught Angemon X's fist and kneed him. Black Angemon X landed a kick, knocking Angemon X back into a wall.

"No! Get up, dad!" Athena X growled. Having seen enough, she powered up and flew over the area where her father battled the Black Ascendant. "Hey, you jerk! Leave my dad alone!" She cupped her hands and fired a Ki blast at Black Angemon X's back.

As the blast fizzled on his back, Black Angemon X quickly turned and fired a black Ki blast at Athena X.

"ATHENA!" Angemon X hastily flew up to save her.

However, a fiery wave intercepted and stopped Black Angemon X's attack dead in its tracks. Startled by this intervention, Black Angemon X looked up and saw Houou Mars descending near them. Houou Mars had determined glare, not taking her eyes off the Black Ascendant.

"Thank you, Mars!" Athena X called for her.

"Yes, thank you so much, Mars. I owe you," Angemon X was relieved.

Houou Mars replied, maintaining her gaze on the Black Ascendant. "It's ok. How about leave me with him?"

"And let me stand by and watch? Sorry, but he's mine," Angemon X said, drawing out his sword.

"Sure, have at it," Houou Mars said. "But not until I get a lick in."

"Foolish woman, you wield the power of a divine entity, but you ever so casually use it. What kind of divine being would allow for such mockery?!" Black Angemon X chastised the Houou. "Allow me to show you how a divine bein-!"

Before he can finish, Houou Mars casually put her hand out and repelled Black Angemon X with a shockwave. She then cast a ring of fire that surrounded Black Angemon X. Each time the Black Ascendant tried to escape, the cosmic fire walls expanded inward.

"You're being rude. I was talking to my friend before you interrupted," Houou Mars scoffed over the Black Ascendant's interruption.

"Don't you don't overlook me!" Black Angemon X roared, powering up and unleashing his dark aura, which put out Houou Mars' ring of fire.

Angemon X stood in front of Athena X. "Stay behind me, sweetie."

"Yes, stay behind with your dearest father, little one! Don't worry, after I get rid of him, you'll be next!" Black Angemon X cackled.

Houou Mars descended between the father & daughter and the Black Ascendant. She raised a hand and forged a cosmic fiery ball.

"Step back or burn," Houou Mars warned Black Angemon X, who held his ground knowing full well the Houou can and will easily put him in his place.

"Seems I'm losing on all three fronts. Time to change course," Black Angemon X muttered.

Just then, a beam of light emerged revealing Beerusmon, Whismon, Shintomon, Gowasmon, Rumsshimon, and Cusmon. Shintomon took out a pair of Fusesha earrings.

"Are we here already?" Beerusmon asked impatiently.

"We are now, Lord Beerusmon," Whismon answered.

"Look at this mess!" Shintomon gazed over the destruction caused by the ongoing battle against the Black Ascendant Triad. "I hope you're seeing this father." He wondered if Shinmon is watching, which obviously he would.

"So, the Rogue Guardian is here?" Rumsshimon asked Gowasmon. "You do realize he is your responsibility?"

Gowasmon nods regrettably. "Yes."

Cusmon scanned the battle-ravaged vicinity. "There's loads of fighting energies spread all over the place! Hey, that no good Zamasmon's presence is like spread in three different places. So he did transfer his spirit into those three Black Ascendant vessels!"

Whismon nodded. "Indeed, and Shintomon, I see you have the Fusesha earrings. You know what to do?"

"Yes, I do. Father instructed me to give them to our strongest players." Shintomon showed off the earrings.

"Wait, is that who I think it is?!" Beerusmon's lazy mood shifted once he felt the Houou's presence. Needless to say, this made him fume with anger.

"What do you mean?" Rumsshimon asked the cat deity.

"THAT BLASTED COSMIC POULTRY IS HERE!" Beerusmon roared.

"You've lost us," Cusmon replied.

"Beerusmon's favorite avian friend is here, too," Whismon chuckled.

"Watch your mouth, Whismon," growls Beerusmon. "She's here to hog the glory from me! That is unacceptable!" He powered up, completely bathed in a furious purple aura. "HOUOU, I KNOW YOU'RE HERE!"

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Dystopian Future)

With every antagonistic force defeated and Sailor Orcus being freed from the BAT's control, only the Black Ascendant Triad and OmegaSyndramon remained. The groups that fought Black Angemon X and Black Dramon X reconvened with Omega X and his group.

Black Omega X, Black Angemon X, Black Dramon X, and OmegaSyndramon stood their ground against their oppositions.

"Zamasmon, your forces have dwindled! I think it's time you realize we have your number!" Metalla X called him out.

"And looks like you're down to just one Shadow Dramon. I don't sense the other ones anymore," Angemon X confirmed that fact.

"Ok, Zamasmon! Surrender now!" Omega X demanded from the BAT.

"Why you…" OmegaSyndramon scowled as his back spikes sparked with electricity.

However, Black Omega X stopped OmegaSyndramon.

"Stand down," the Black Ascendant beckoned as he wore a smug grin. "Congratulations on making it this far. You've shown me you're all worthy mortals to kill. And you've helped push the limit of these Black Ascendant bodies, but experiment time is over. We move forward to the final phase." With that, he and the other two Black Ascendants raised their heads and unleashed rose waves of light out of their bodies.

"He's releasing energy from his own body, but for what purpose?!" Sailor Sedna wondered.

"Looks like we're about to find out. Look!" Madoka pointed out.

The BAT's bodies glowed three beams of light. From their foreheads, the lights converged from the Black Ascendants and formed the essence image of Zamasmon, who gave the same smug expression Black Omega X wore.

"I commend you for defeating all of my expendable servants, but that's to be expected by tools. Oh well, they're all a means to an end, just like you mortals." Zamasmon sneered as he clenched his fist. "I will not rest until all mortals are eradicated with my endgame: Zero Dawn."

"Zero Dawn?!" Omega X exclaimed.

"Oh yeah, that totally doesn't sound like an apocalyptic device," Varuna sardonically remarked. "Charon tried something like that, but on a bigger scale."

"Probably, but we don't know to what extent Zamasmon intends to go with this Zero Dawn," Houou Mars informed them.

"Hah, like we're supposed to be scared! These doomsday devices always have the dumbest names," remarked Metalla X.

"Yes, laugh it up. To wipe out all you mortals and cleanse this world of your stench, Zero Dawn will get it done." Zamasmon stated. "But it's all part of an even greater purpose than I originally had intended."

"You're not getting the chance to use it on us!" Moon declared.

"That's right! We're ending you here, Zamasmon!" Angemon X readied his sword.

Zamasmon evilly chuckled. "It's too late. Now to show you the…"

Metalla X blasted the Zamasmon essence, which hardly did anything to the Rogue Guardian. Everyone gawked at Metalla X's trigger happy response.

"What? Hell, can't blame me for trying!" Metalla X spatted out.

"...pinnacle of almighty divine punishment!" Zamasmon finished as he physically materialized and stood between Black Omega X and Black Dramon X. "Before we start. Let's see how you fare when I'm fighting with my Black Ascendant vessels!"

(Cue Dragon Ball Super - Goku Black Theme (Unofficial) – EnigmaTNG)

With that, Zamasmon and the BAT took on similar fighting stances. They quickly headed off to attack the heroes. Zamasmon and Black Omega X engaged Omega X, Metalla X, Guilkatomon, Dai-Valkyrie Sailor Moon, Houou Mars, and Madoka.

Black Angemon X took on Angemon X, Dai-Valkyrie Sailor Sedna, Athena X, Dai-Valkyrie Varuna, and Dai-Valkyrie Quaoar.

Black Dramon X fought against Dramon X, Dai-Valkyrie Sailor Orcus, Dai-Valkyrie Sailor Ixion, Dai-Valkyrie Sailor Eris, and OmegaTitaniamon.

OmegaSyndramon battled Kaimodosu X AM, CyberBeelzemon, Utopia, Phoenixmon, and Rosemon.

At one point, Omega X crossed paths with Black Omega X and hit him with a barrage of punches. As he went for a straight fist, Black Omega X phased behind his adversary. As the Black Ascendant went to gut him with a rosé hand blade, Omega X teleported out of reach and reappeared on Black Omega X's right hand. For a brief moment, Omega X invoked a golden chest armor over his chest. Black Omega X attempted to pierce his hand blade through Omega X's Courageous Hope Armor, but upon hitting the chest armor the hand blade shattered.

"A brilliant move, Taichi! But, let's see you handle this!" Black Omega X put his hand into his palm and ripped out long pillar of rosé energy.

"What's he trying to do now?!" Metalla X spat out.

Then, to the Ascendant's surprise, Black Omega X refined the rosé energy into a sickle-shaped weapon. He took one swing from it, sending a projectile capable of cutting through solid objects at the Ascendants. The Bearers of Courage and Friendship quickly evaded as Black Omega X swung his Sickle of Sorrow around, sending sickle-shaped projectiles their way. When Omega X flew up to him, he tried kicking the sickle out of the Black Ascendant's grasp, but Black Omega X tucked under and kicked Omega X back. As Black Omega X brought down the sickle, Metalla X blasted the Black Ascendant back.

"You wanna fight with weapons? Fine!" Omega X then summoned VictoryGreymon's Dramon Breaker and engaged Black Omega X in a grueling duel. They both swung their weapons as their blades clashed.

Zamasmon casually fought off Guilkatomon and zipped around him. He formed a hand blade and slashed Advanced Biomerger with numerous strikes. As he went for the kill, Dai-Valkyrie Moon drove him back with a beam from her sword.

"You can still stop this, Zamasmon! You don't have to take your anger out on mortals anymore!" Moon pleaded one last time with the Rogue Guardian.

Scowling, Zamasmon rebuked. "Don't test me. You'll soon learn sympathy for mortals will get you nowhere."

"That's fine, but we don't need to hear it from you anymore!" Houou Mars was heard from above as she launched a flurry of cosmic flamed blasts at Zamasmon.

Unprepared, Zamasmon took the cosmic blasts from Houou Mars and crashed hard into the ground. Houou Mars then tended to Guilkatomon, who was already being healed by Madoka.

Slowly rising from the ground, Zamasmon noted his bodily damage caused by Houou Mars's cosmic flames. An angry scowl formed on his face.

"How dare you. A human dares to blast me with a cosmic power befitting only for gods?!"

"What are you doing?! Get up!" Black Omega X chastised himself. As he turned, he charged toward Omega X and Metalla X ready to slash them with his sickle.

"Hey, mind if I take this?" Omega X asked and before Metalla X could even utter a word, he vanished with Instant Movement.

"What?! You didn't even give me a chance to speak, prick!" Metalla X snapped.

As he teleported right in front of Black Omega X, Omega X readied his right fist, which was already imbued with raw energy. Not giving him a chance to evade or speak, Omega X quickly gut punched the Black Ascendant and knocked the wind out of him. On top of stopping his momentum, Omega X punched him with his left fist and sent Black Omega X flying through a heap of debris.

"Hey, that was mine!" Metalla X berated Omega X.

"What? You got him all to yourself when you beat on him earlier. It was my turn to get my licks in," Omega X casually said.

Beginning to stir amid the debris, Black Omega X unleashed a dark aura that evaporated the piles burying him. He limped forward and dropped to a knee.

"Perhaps our oversight made us blind to the fact they more prepared than we had anticipated," Black Omega X grunted under his breath.

Meanwhile, Black Angemon X fought off Angemon X, Sedna, and their cohorts at once. At one point. Angemon X tossed his sword at Black Angemon X, who backhanded the blade away. But, this proved to be a costly mistake as Angemon X caught him with a Finish Buster. Then, Varuna struck him down with a combined blast from Stormbreaker and Mjolnir.

"Yeah, stay down! No one beats my real dad!" Athena X shouted at him.

"Don't overdo it, sweetie," Quaoar tended to Varuna, who was almost spent after continuously combining Stormbreaker and Mjolnir's powers.

"I'll make a note of that, thanks."

As Black Angemon X stood, he turned toward Black Dramon X, who was having as much luck dealing with Dramon X and his group.

"...we must finish this now, Black Dramon X!" Black Angemon X shouted.

"Easier for you to say!" Black Dramon X bellowed as he went hand to hand with Dramon X.

As Black Angemon X blasted the ground, he created smoke screen that blinded the blinded the Kuipers, but Angemon X and Athena X were still able to sense his approach. Black Angemon X quickly flew past Athena X and kicked Angemon X down.

"Dad!" Athena X cried out. As she ran over to Angemon X, the Black Ascendant lowered a hand over Angemon X's face. "Don't move, child. One more step and he gets erased."

"Get back, Athena sweetie," Angemon X beckoned his future daughter away.

Frowning, Athena X walked a few steps back.

"That's a good girl," Black Angemon X chortled as he forged a rosé blade and prodded it toward Angemon X's face. "Foolish mortal, I am several millennia years old. I've trained with the gods themselves. How could you possibly-!"

Wham!

Angemon X groin kicked Black Angemon X. Falling to his knees, Black Angemon X groaned in anguish while holding his crotch.

Angemon X stood over him. "And I've seen my future destroyed since I was born! And I learned from the best myself!" With that, he quickly tapped the Black Ascendant's pressure points, neutralizing him. He then kicked Black Angemon X away.

"Alright, dad!" Athena X cheered him.

"Thanks, honey. Never use that groin kick unless you're caught in a bind like me," Angemon X advised his future daughter.

"Oh, I already know about that. Uncle Ken showed me while we were training."

"He did, didn't he?" Angemon X pivoted and watched Dramon X fighting off Black Dramon X.

Having just witnessed Angemon X use his move, Dramon X chuckled in thought. Good job. You're all catching on.

As Dramon X went for a groin kick, Black Dramon X blocked his counterpart's foot and blasted him away. Dramon X fought back and blasted him with Ryuken Wave. Black Dramon X tried to sidestep, but saw a black hole form under his foot and trap him.

"What?!" Black Dramon X snarled as he turned and saw Dai-Valkyrie Orcus taunt him.

"How do you like that, jerk?! I've got him binded! Get him, Ken!" Orcus called out.

With that, Dramon X flew at Black Dramon X, but instead of going for his conventional fist barrage, the Accel Ascendant had another idea. He put a hand to his chest and invoked his latent Light Legacy powers. A mystical seal glowing with white light formed under Dramon X.

"Ken? Hey, be careful and don't go overboard with your body," Orcus pleaded.

"It's got to be done to take him down!" Dramon X declared as he fired a white wave of light at Black Dramon X, who quickly morphed into Tsukumiyomimon Death Mode to try to absorb the blast, but it was to no avail.

Black Dramon X quickly produced his own Sickle of Sorrow to hit Dramon X with, but Dramon X unleashed his ZettaFreeze. This attack was enough to overwhelm and crush the Black Ascendant. However, he wasn't done there. Dramon X's internal rage caused his body to turn molten red and gave off a loud sonic boom blast, sending a wave of blue wave from his body. The powerful blue wave engulfed and started burning the Black Ascendant, melting off his Tsukuyomimon Death Mode armor. Combining this Atomic Radiation with ZettaFreeze.

"TAKE THIS! NOW BURN!" Dramon X roared as he fully combined his two attacks to complete his Atomic ZettaFreeze Roar.

Boom!

With that, he unleashed a burning blast that gave Dramon X the biggest freeze burn he ever received.

(Theme fades)

Upon seeing his colleague being burned, Black Angemon X flew up to catch him. He gawked seeing Black Dramon X in the worst condition he'd ever been in. The Black Ascendant was burned badly that his skin had been melted beyond regeneration.

"Ugh, Kenneth was capable of doing this to one of us?!" Black Angemon X turned a glare toward Dramon X, who had collapsed with Sedna, Angemon X, Orcus, and the others running toward him.

"KEN!" Orcus cried out.

"Brother!" Sedna shouted worryingly to him. She saw him shivering. "Ken?"

"Uncle Ken, you look cold!" Athena X checked on him.

As Angemon X approached Dramon X, he felt a cold chill permeating from his body.

"He's deathly cold! Can, how are you still alive?!" Angemon X asked.

"I...I don't know… but I got him… my body's numb though..." Dramon X then collapsed facefirst.

"KEN!" Orcus and Athena X cried out together.

"Stay back," Sedna ordered as she got close to her brother. Being an ice wielder, Sedna can withstand below sub zero levels and being able to touch his cold body didn't bother her. "He is numb and cold!"

"Oh god, don't tell me he's…" Eris gasped.

"No, I can still feel a pulse, but it's very faint," Sedna replied.

"We've got to get him better since we're still in the middle of a fight!" Ixion exclaimed.

As the others hurried over toward Dramon and Angemon X's groups locations, they were dismayed by the Accel Ascendant's condition.

"Ken! So, that blast we saw came from him?!" Omega X checked over Dramon X.

"The hell kind of power did he unleash?!" Metalla X turned to Angemon X.

"Nothing like I've seen before, but one that felt like a severe freeze burn. The biggest freeze burn like I've ever seen," Angemon X replied.

Madoka went over and checked over Dramon X. "Maybe I can help."

"Please if you can," Sedna nodded.

(Goku Black Theme (Unofficial) – EnigmaTNG (5:25 - 6:55) resumes)

As Phoenixmon and Rosemon went down to OmegaSyndramon's attacks, Sora and Mimi tended to their partners. When the Shadow Dramon went for the killing, Sora threw herself in front of Phoenixmon, Mimi, and Palmon.

Kaimodosu X AM intervened and delivered multiple sword slashes to the Shadow Dramon. Then, she briefly summoned D-Reaper, who punched and fought with OmegaSyndramon.

"Are you ok?" Kaimodosu X AM asked Sora, Mimi, and their Digimon.

"We are now. Thanks, Dorothy," Mimi kindly replied.

"Sora, please take it easy," Kaimodosu X suggested. "I mean, you will be carrying Max soon."

"Max…" Sora muttered as she was instantly reminded of the older version being held captive. "Don't worry. I'll be fine."

Boom!

D-Reaper crashed into the ground after getting tossed aside by OmegaSyndramon. The Shadow Dramon descended near them and cackled.

"I barely broke a sweat against tubby there, but he humored me enough," OmegaSyndramon cackled.

"Thanks for distracting him, Dee," Kaimodosu X then put her hand on D-Reaper, absorbing him back into her body. She restored her Avenge Mode state and drew her sword. "But, I won't be so easily defeated."

OmegaSyndramon quickly flew into Kaimodosu X and pushed her through several building walls.

(End theme)

"Look, over there, Sora!" Mimi pointed her toward the group facing the Black Ascendants and Zamasmon.

"What are they waiting for?" Sora observed.

The three villains were absolutely flabbergasted by what had happened to Black Dramon X. Zamasmon grimaced at the sight of the severely burned Black Dramon X.

"What type of mortals are we dealing with?" Zamasmon fumed as he turned toward the heroes. "This was all that Kenneth Rainer's doing?!"

"How was he able to maim one of our bodies?! The energy resonating from Kensuke is beyond anything a mortal should be able to wield!" Black Angemon X asked, holding the fully burned Black Dramon X.

Black Omega X scowled. "It's the Light Legacy. Black Dramon X should've known better."

Zamasmon realized his short-sightedness. "It would seem our assumptions about mortals has been wrong. They're more than just insignificant maggots." He scanned the faces in the crowd. "Look at them. A few already possess power comparable to the gods, myself included! If we're not careful, our dreams for a perfect utopia will be for naught."

Black Omega X mulled. "Fine, no more games then. All because these mortals continue to defy and profane us. We will reveal to them the ultimate power of the gods!"

"It's time to show them divine perfection made whole." Zamasmon vaguely added.

As Black Angemon X picked Black Dramon X up, Zamasmon and Black Omega X stood in front of them.

"You lowly and pathetic creatures," Black Omega X disparaged them.

"Show your reverence and bow down," Zamasmon smirked as he raised a hand and conjured a green orb of energy that surrounded him and his vessels.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - The Birth of Merged Zamasu)

Suddenly, Zamasmon, Black Omega X, Black Angemon X, and Black Dramon X's bodies glowed as they shifted toward the center. Their bodies converged and pressed against the other. They spun around repeatedly as a column of black and purple energy engulfed them.

"They wouldn't dare!" Guilkatomon exclaimed.

"They don't tell me they intend to…!" Angemon X gasped.

"It's coming. Something terrible's coming," Madoka muttered.

Omega X frowned. "So, this is your move?!"

The fused BAT emerged from the column of black and purple light. He took on the form of an armored knight with massive shoulder guards and large black wings folded behind his back. The warrior had three sheathed swords on him, two sheathed one mounted on his hips and a massive one on his back. The smaller swords were Black Dramon X and Black Angemon X's. The large one on his back resembled the Dramon Breaker wielded by BlackVictoryGreymon. The armor's color schemes are mostly black and grey with some blood red. He wore no helmet, which fully exposed Zamasmon's face and spiky white hair. His entire body was outlined by a black aura glowing like dark fire. He has become Black Gaiamon X/Merged Zamasmon.

Unlike Gaiamon X's voice which combined the three good Ascendants, Black Gaiamon X's voice was only Zamasmon, to which he announced while raising his arms in sheer holiness.

"My form is justice! And my form is the world! Worship me! Give praise unto me! Me, the beautiful! The sublime! Me, the invincible! The almighty and divine…!" Black Gaiamon X opened his eyes and malignantly smiled. "All hail Zamasmon!"

Upon Black Gaiamon X's birth, the skies are filled with black clouds. These clouds have faces shaped like Zamasmon's like Zamas' final cloud-like form. These faces fill the air with insane laughter.

Behind Black Gaiamon X, a giant purple entity similar to Merged Zamas' Wall of Light is summoned with avian wings, only it's based on the Statue of the Gods (Final Fantasy VI) with Zamasmon faces/effigies (except the white tiger head).

Thanks to Black Gaiamon X's presence, OmegaSyndramon, fused with all the Digicores, became a colossal 70-foot long serpentine dragon. He resembled a grayish-scaled malignant variation of Shenron with thick, bony black horns. Seven, dark blue shadow orbs encompassed his neck. The size of this behemoth was a sight to behold as he covered half of the vicinity he hovered over. He became OmegaSyndramon Darkness Mode.

OmegaSyndramon DM let out a loud monstrous roar that shook the city to its core.

Needless to say, despite being shocked and eyes widened, the united forces are in for a big fight.

"Taichi! Yamato!" Shintomon's voice called out. The Ascendants and others turned to see Shintomon fly over to them with the Fusesha earrings.

"Shintomon!" Omega X called to him.

"Did I just hear you mention Fusion? Then, take these! They're the Fusesha earrings my father wanted you to have! This way you're able to fuse once again to fight on Zamasmon's level." Shintomon suggested.

"Great timing, Shintomon! Tell Shinmon my regards!" Omega X called out. "Look, Yamato. Now we don't have to do the Meta-Fusion pose!"

Shintomon forewarned them. "However, these earrings were just modified to have a time limit. They don't have the same powers that the original ones had before. We didn't even take into account we'd ever need them for another crisis."

"It's ok! Thanks, Shintomon! Time doesn't matter to me, we'll stop Zamasmon as soon as possible!" Omega X accepted as he placed on his earrings. He tossed one to Metalla X, who hesitated but grabbed it in time.

"Do we have to fuse again?" Metalla X briefly complained while putting on his earring pair.

"Quit complaining, Yamato. Matt would agree this is a good idea Now let's do this!" Omega X answered.

Both Omega X and Metalla X placed on their Fusesha earrings, which caused the two to instantly merge into one being.

"Alright, they've fused! Now the tides are gonna turn!" Guilkatomon happily said.

"Let's hope so, Takato," KaiserGreymon added.

Brunhilde barely awoke to witness the Fuseha earrings merge the two Ascendants. "Yeah, now this is going to be sweet!"

A flash of light enveloped the two Ascendants. In place of both is none other than Kaiser X. Kaiser X has a mix of Omega X and Metalla X's combined features. His spiky hair is dark brown, almost black from a far distance, with two bangs sticking out in a downward 'V' shape. Some blond streaks are visibly seen on the sides of his head. On his ears, he has the two Fusesha earrings. He's now wearing dark blue pants and a matching colored shirt with an orange undershirt. Other accessories also include white gloves and boots. Embroidered on his back are the symbols of Courage and Friendship. The same symbols, now intersecting with each other, flared on his forehead.

"Alright!" Kaiser X yelled out as he jumped on top of a pile of debris. He instantly glared down Black Gaiamon X.

"Incredible, father and Tai have combined again!" Angemon X enthusiastically yelled out.

"And only the second time since they used them against the evil D-Reaper! But I'm not complaining!" Sedna added with a genuine smile.

Black Gaiamon X quietly glared down Kaiser X. "And who are you?"

"You created a fusion with different people, so we did the same to even the playing field," Kaiser X replied in a Tai and Yamato's conjoined voices. "We're a merged fighter! A combination of Taichi and Yamato! I could be Yaichi, Taimato, Maichi, or whatever, but you can call us Kaiser X to make things easy. Or, if you prefer and just for something new."

Wasting no time, Kaiser X yelled and powered up to Super Ascendant Blue with his dark brown hair becoming cyan. A cyan aura, shaped like Omegamon, flared around the warrior like a mighty inferno.

"Kaiser X Blue!"

"Kaiser X, the being that bested Mystic Super-Reaper. What can you do to scratch a divine being such as I?!" Black Gaiamon X taunted.

"Heh, I suppose we'll just have to see, won't we?" Kaiser X replied with a confident smirk. He beckoned Black Gaiamon X to attack him. "Let's see what you're made of!"

"Powerful as you are, you're still not a god!" Black Gaiamon X flew at Kaiser X and fired a Holy Wrath at his direction.

Kaiser X flew up and evaded the destructive blast. Before it can hit the others, Moon and Houou Mars stopped the attack. The latter of which used her Houou cloak to nullify the destructive blast.

"Is everyone ok?!" Moon called to the others.

"We are now. Thanks, you two!" Guilkatomon said.

"Kuipers, let's invoke our Golden forms!" Sedna suggested.

"Tamers, let's combine and form Golden Kirin!" Guilkatomon declared.

"Time to bring out Susanoomon!" KaiserGreymon announced.

The Sailor Senshi (Moon, Sedna, Orcus, Varuna, Quaoar, Eris, Ixion), except Houou Mars, transformed into their Golden Senshi forms. Their entire clothing and armor wear flashed with majestic gold.

The Advanced Beast Tamers (Guilkatomon, Renrukimon, Terryamon, and Inumuramon) combined to become the Super Golden Kirin, a 100 foot high golden-skinned Kirin with a long neck. It had a single horn jutting out of the forehead. He had long whiskers. Its mane instead of its usual gold was now cyan. An armor plating was fitted on the beast's chest. The armor had embroidered symbols of the phoenix, the dragon, the white tiger, and the two-headed turtle. The Tamers formed into the Super Golden Kirin.

The Legendary Warriors combined their Spirits to form Susanoomon, except there was a massive cyan flame covering him. Their enhanced Spirits allowed for a more powerful variation to come into being: Super Susanoomon.

Brunhilde and Skuld stood ready to fight.

"Ready to kick ass, Skuld?"

"Let's do it!"

Dai-Valkyrie Brunhilde invoked her ultimate form, which was used to defeat her previous enemies the Lord of Realms Loki and Dea Mist. Brunhilde's blue hair changed to platinum blond with rainbow traits at the end of the hair's tip, the feathered helmet is replaced with a small golden headdress crown, her armor changed to a silver-platinum build with a white dress that has blue silhouettes of Grani and Seadramon. Brunhilde's dark blue wings have expanded and covered in fire/ice. She righteously brandished her own sword. She became the Silver Valkyrie.

At the same time, Skuld invoked her Titled form. Skuld's red highlights in her albino hair are replaced by blackness. Her helmet was replaced by a black circlet with a small red gem centered on it. The skull-faced gem on her neck choker morphed into a female visage that resembled her ancestral mother Hela. The lower part of her body gained an obsidian dress with a red silhouette of Garm. The bondage chains from her black wings are released and dangled freely with sharp blades at the end of each tip. She grasped her scythe. She had become the Obsidian Valkyrie.

Black Gaiamon X didn't budge an inch as Kaiser X Blue, the Golden Senshi, Houou Mars, Super Golden Kirin, SuperSusanoomon, Silver Brunhilde, and the Obsidian Valkyrie surrounded him. He looked to the sky where OmegaSyndramon DM floated through the Zamasmon cloud faces. He then remembered his Wall of Light and 110-foot high statue-esque pillar.

"I'm afraid I still have aces up my sleeve. Or, need I remind you of the other obstacles you must overcome?" Black Gaiamon X pointed them to OmegaSyndramon DM, the Wall of Light, and the Zamasmon cloud faces.

"He's right everyone," Madoka chimed in as she finished healing Dramon X.

"Is brother ok now?" Golden Sedna asked the pink-haired Puella woman.

"Yes, he'll be able to fight now," Madoka genuinely smiled.

Dramon X slowly came to and got up, seemingly good as new. He turned and faced Black Gaiamon X's direction.

"Oh, so you brought him back? No matter, Kenneth-!" Before he can finish, Dramon X quickly flew up and punched Black Gaiamon X hard enough to send him sliding back.

Taken aback by Dramon X's renewed strength, Black Gaiamon X scowled.

"And that was me barely waking up! Call me that name again and I'm shoving your head straight up your ass!" Dramon X menacingly threatened the merged being.

Kaiser X chuckled. "Hey, welcome back, Ken. Enjoyed your nap?"

"Wish I can say it was refreshing. By the way, thanks, Madoka."

"Your welcome!" Madoka nodded.

"No matter! It makes no difference! You're all going to fall the same way!" Black Gaiamon X angrily snapped. Slowly but surely his mental state started to deteriorate.

Veering over to the 110-foot tall pillar with the Zamasmon statues, Beerusmon and Whismon became deeply suspicious.

"See that, Whismon?"

"Yes, Lord Beerusmon. That's not something I'd expect Zamasmon to conjure with his own power. This looks to be the work of…" Whismon frowned as he turned to Russhimon and Cusmon. "Perhaps you'd like to give us a hand to bring that down pillar?"

"So, you suspect this was the work of the one behind those anomalous agents you've warned us about?" Russhimon asked Whismon.

"Indeed, I do, which is why we must eliminate that pillar."

Beerusmon sighed. "Normally gods like us don't get involved in these mortal affairs, but…" His face conveyed a serious outlook on the situation. "Since it's now apparent Zamasmon is getting this power from the anomalous agents' mastermind, this a matter even us gods cannot simply ignore. Whismon!"

"Yes, understood," Whismon raised his staff and invoked its power. He then used the staff's power to combine himself and Beerusmon.

Surprisingly, Beerusmon and Whismon fused to become a singular being that has the physical appearance of Beerusmon, but with Whismon's skin color and wearing his uniform. He is called Whirusmon.

"No way, even Lords Beerusmon and Whismon are getting involved in the action?!" Angemon X exclaimed.

Kaiser X smirked. "Trying to show us off, my lords?"

Whirusmon frowned. "Unlike you two, we're not here to showboat. We're heading over to check that pillar since it's been bothering us."

"What's the deal with that pillar?" Golden Moon wondered.

"I don't know, but I'm sensing disturbing darkness. It's been bothering me and the Houou ever since Zamasmon summoned it," Houou Mars said.

Black Gaiamon X noted this and scoffed, "So that's all you have? Even Beerusmon gets desperate enough to fuse with his attendant to match my divine power. As I said, it won't make a difference! The Zero Dawn Plan is in full swing!"

"We'll see about that!" Kaiser X pointed at Black Gaiamon X.

"Now, shall we commence this dance?" Black Gaiamon X raised his arms in mid-air as he and Kaiser X exchanged a flurry of blows.

Meanwhile, OmegaSyndramon descended from the clouds and rained down energy blasts that wiped out sections of the vicinity.

"Let's split up! Some of us can help Kaiser X. Another group can give Lord Beerusmon and Whismon some support. The rest of us tries to take that giant dragon down!" SuperSusanoomon suggested. "Golden Kirin and I are heading for the pillar!"

"Then, we'll join you, too," Golden Moon offered.

"Likewise, besides the Houou refuses to let Beerusmon show her up," Houou Mars added.

"We'll go, too," Golden Varuna and Golden Quaoar added.

With that, SuperSusanoomon, Super Golden Kirin, Golden Moon, Houou Mars, Golden Varuna, Golden Quaoar, Golden Eris, and Golden Ixion headed straight for the Wall of Light and the Zamasmon pillar.

Angemon X, Golden Sedna, Dramon X, Golden Orcus, and Madoka headed for Kaiser X Blue's fight with Black Gaiamon X.

Silver Brunhilde, MetalSeadramon, Odisidian Skuld, Kaimodosu X AM, Kirito (Corner), and Asuna (Corner) headed off to engage OmegaSyndramon DM.

Outer Chambers/Dimension: Yog-Sothoth's Realm

(Cue Castlevania: Curse of Darkness OST – Dracula's Castle)

At the outer chambers, the process already begins with Mana's prison glowing. The tendrils' energies are flowing to the inner chambers. Yet, Mana does not feel pain.

"Saitou, you don't know what you're doing!" Max yelled. "Opening the gate will bring total calamity to the Nexus!"

"How could I care less about that?! I wish to follow my destiny!" Saitou replied.

"I really have no clue of what's going on." Mana casually smiled.

Suddenly, Saitou and Kyubey turn to see intruders arriving. Max and Mana notice them as well.

The intruders reveal themselves: Celesta X, WarAngemon, Ultima X, Zodiark X, Keke & Mosuramon, Gojiramon, Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, Shaka, Shu, Inori, and Gai.

"What is this? More friends to invite over, Max?" Saitou glanced at the group.

"Whew, I'm lucky Homura is not there to spotted me." Kyubey quipped.

"Homura's not here, but you're dealing with us now!" Shu declared.

"Shu! Gai!" Mana called to her brother and boyfriend. She gave a sly grin. "About time you guys came."

"How could you do this, Kyubey?" Inori queried, dismayed by the creature's apparent change of allegiance.

Gai scoffed. "Kyubey has no true loyalty to anyone but himself."

"MAX!" Gojiramon teared up as he and Max exchanged glances.

"All right, you guys made it!" Max exclaimed.

"Of course, we never abandon our friends!" Keke declared.

"All right, let our friends go now!" WarAngemon demanded from Saitou.

"Yeah, buddy, you're dealing with all of us and you're just one guy!" Ultima X threatened him.

"Just let our friends go and we won't have to fight," Celesta X proposed.

Saitou chuckled. "Sorry, but it's not quite that simple. You see, your friends are necessary for our goal." He then pointed to the gate slowly opening. "Their energies are what's going to open the gate. Once the contents are released, they'll be unleashed into the Nexus and wreak havoc. By destroying the Nexus, a new Nexus will take its place. One ruled by the beings behind these gates."

"Man this is starting to sound like Sensui and the Demon Tunnel all over again," Kuwabara realized the deja-vu they were experiencing.

"Yes, but this impending disaster will be on a grander scale that extends beyond our universe," Kurama informed them.

Yusuke raised a fist toward Saitou's direction. "Hey, we've faced and stopped a maniac like you before, and we're gonna do it again. So, how about we kick your ass and take back our friends by force, Sensui Jr.?!"

Saitou chuckled. "You're quite the amusing, little man. Fine, there's still some time before the gates fully open, I can humor you." He jumped down from his high pedestal and landed in front of the group. He dropped into a kickboxer's stance.

Recognizing his stance, Yusuke smirked. "Yep, just like Sensui."

"But this power exceeds that of Sensui, Yusuke. Be vigilant," Hiei warned him.

"Don't worry he's dealing with all of us now," WarAngemon firmly said.

Shu quickly brandished his Singer's Sword. "Ready, Gai?!"

Gai readied his Dancer's Sword. "Of course!"

"And I'm ready as well," Inori said as a pink aura bathed over her. Her regular clothing was replaced with a reddish orange dress coupled with two flower patterns on the waist made of pure crystal. She now wore a pink crown with a crystallized hairpin. She has become Genesis Inori.

"Don't you get too overconfident! It shall be your undoing!" Saitou declared as he dashed forward to attack, but he vanished quickly out of plain sight.

Everyone was taken aback by his speed and prepared to anticipate his moves. Before they can even react, the whole group was met with quick attacks that none could've perceived.

Whoosh!

The whole group was swept back and knocked away into different sections of the chamber. Saitou reappeared standing in the center looking relatively unfazed by their presence.

"Your perceptions of my attacks were slower than I anticipated. This won't last long I'm afraid," Saitou sighed out of disappointment.

Zordiark X exclaimed. "He's much faster than I thought him to be!"

"Did anyone see him move?!" Shu exclaimed. "'Cause I couldn't!"

"Neither could I, I'm afraid," Gai said.

"I could, but only briefly," Hiei admitted.

"Yeah, he's a lot faster than Sensui, I'll give this bastard that much," Yusuke said.

"Yeah, I was only barely able to keep up until he picked up the pace and attacked us," WarAngemon added.

"Max, could you see him?!" Keke asked him.

"Yeah, I was," Max said. "Actually I was able to see the whole thing."

"You saw him pretty much wipe us out there?!" Gojiramon yelled out.

"I did. Don't let your guards down, guys! Stay on him!" Max said. "You'll better perceive him if y'all power up and enhance your senses!"

Ultima X nodded, facing WarAngemon and Zordiark X. "How about it, TK, Ken? Let's power up into level 2 and see if that works."

"Kari, you ready?" WarAngemon asked her.

"Yeah!" Celesta X declared as she powered up into Mystic status.

WarAngemon, Ultima X, and Zordiark X powered up to their level 2 states.

"Saitou, you won't be so cool and collected for much longer," Keke gritted as she, too, powered up into Ascendant level 2 status.

"Why don't you bust out and help us, Max?!" Gojiramon asked his partner.

"Wish I could, but being inside this thing suppresses my powers," Max said, punching his prison wall. "You guys will have to fight hard and hope one of y'all can destroy our prisons."

Mana pouted as she sat down. "Poo, this is gonna take a while. Don't keep us waiting."

"Don't worry, you two won't be leaving here as long as I'm here," Saitou smirked as he faced his opposition. "Shall we continue this?" He powered up as a similar golden aura enveloped him like an Ascendant, but unlike an Ascendant, his hair didn't spike up and turn yellow. He clenched his fists, calmly smirking down his adversaries. "What? You were expecting a hair color change?"

"Kinda, but we could care less," WarAngemon replied.

"You'd look lame with the hair color change," Ultima X said.

"Not really since I already fought a guy like you," Yusuke quipped. "What? You gonna bust out some gawdy ass-looking armors, too?"

"You know me too well even if we haven't met before, but it doesn't matter. You'll be the first to go down," Saitou declared as he hastily dashed at Yusuke and the Spirit Detectives.

(Cue Castlevania: Curse of Darkness – A Toccata Into Blood Soaked Darkness)

As he reached for Yusuke, Shaka interceded Saitou and launched a Spirit Wave his way. Saitou narrowly dodged Shaka's spirit blast and turned as Kurama threw a Rose Whip. Saitou hopped over Kurama's thorned vine. Kuwabara prepared his Spirit Sword and slashed at Saitou. Saitou caught the spirit-imbued blade and dissolved it with his energy.

"Are you ok, Yusuke?" Shaka asked him.

"Sure. Thanks, Yui. I know a way to break this guy's psyche," Yusuke said. "Hey, Sensui Jr., I bet you got other personalities in that noggin of yours! Why not bring 'em out and introduce them to us?!"

While Yusuke kept distracting him, Saitou started to unravel and attack more viciously. He kicked Kuwabara back and blocked Hiei's sword. When Shaka rushed over to attack him, Saitou jumped over her and charged up a purple Ki sphere in his hand. He kicked the sphere toward Shaka, who dodged it.

"Y'know what? Dodgeball was Sensui's favorite game, too! And he had better play than you, Jr.!" Yusuke taunted Saitou to the point where it was getting under Saitou's skin.

"Silence!" Saitou hissed, kicking another energy sphere toward Yusuke, who jumped out of harm's way.

"Almost had me, Jr.!"

"Shut up!" Saitou gritted as he flew down and grabbed Yusuke. He quickly slammed the Spirit Detective through a chamber wall.

With Saitou's back turned, WarAngemon and Mystic Celesta rushed him from behind. They grabbed and slammed Saitou through thin lens-looking wall interiors. Saitou fell only to recover and jump back to his feet. WarAngemon charged and went for a Seraphi Fist, but Saitou caught WarAngemon's hand.

"Why don't you take a break?" Saitou asked as he punched WarAngemon's arm, snapping it in two.

"TK!" Mystic Celesta cried out, watching in disgust as Saitou broke his arm.

"We've got this, TK! Hey, jerk, come and try breaking our arms!" Ultima X goaded as he and Zordiark X double-teamed Saitou.

Saitou easily danced around Ultima X and Zordiark X's attacks. He landed a roundhouse kick to Ultima X, knocking him down. He struck and knocked away Zordiark X with a sidekick.

"TK!" Mystic Celesta tended to WarAngemon.

"Get him, Kari… I'll be ok…"

Mystic Celesta glanced over her shoulder as Saitou phased behind her. As she turned to attack, Saitou caught her hand and repelled her with his aura. Mystic Celesta hit a wall. Saitou went diving at Mystic Celesta, but the Bearer of Light barely dodged. Mystic Celesta jumped up high and cupped her hands together.

"Too slow…" Saitou stopped as WarAngemon, Ultima X, and Zordiark X restrained him. "Damn it!"

"Blast him, Kari!" WarAngemon encouraged her.

"And leave nothing left of this jerk!" Ultima X yelled out.

Letting go of her restraints, Mystic Celesta fired her Holy Beam. As the beam headed closer, Saitou's aura expanded, brushing away the three Ascendants. He then raised his aura, which guarded him and nullified Mystic Celesta's attack.

"A valiant effort, but not enough to break through my Saint Light," Saitou boasted. "My light transcends anything your pathetic light can dish out!" With a wave of a hand, he unleashed a sample wave of his Saint Light.

Before Mystic Celesta had time to react, she felt her whole body being pummeled as if a hundred punches pounded her. She repelled and sent crashing into a wall. Mystic Celesta coughed and gagged having been physically pulverized by Saitou's light. It was enough to knock her out of her Mystic state as she fell on the ground.

"KARI!" WarAngemon called out worryingly to her.

"He just took out Kari and knocked her out of her ultimate state!" Zordiark X was flabbergasted.

"Bastard, you're gonna pay!" Ultima X growled.

"Wait, Davis, we can still use Meta-Fusion!" Zordiark X suggested to him. "TK, you've at least taught Kari the Meta-Fusion, right?"

"Yeah, but she's in no condition…"

"Remember we've packed enough Digi-Vitamins before coming here," Zordiark X reminded him.

"We could've used Keke's help. Where the hell is she?!" Ultima X wondered, scanning the chamber.

"Look! Over there!" WarAngemon pointed across.

Keke was seen with Gojiramon and Mosuramon. The trio prepared to break Max and Mana's prisons. Upon seeing this, Saitou phased out and reappeared near Keke.

"Sorry, but I'm going to need those two to remain where they are!" Saitou interjected, sending energy spheres at Keke, Gojiramon, and Mosuramon.

The trio dodged Saitou's attacks. Keke launched herself at Saitou and threw a punch. Saitou caught Keke's punch and smirked.

"I've beaten your friends. What makes you think you stand a chance in hell?" Saitou taunted her.

"I have someone waiting for me to save his ass!" Keke retorted, firing a Ki blast into Saitou's gut.

Saitou's Saint Light absorbed the impact of Keke's attack. As he went for a kick, Keke narrowly dodged and tossed her Rosemary Discs. The pink discs dissolved as they touched Saitou's aura. He flew up and kneed Keke's gut.

"Keke, stop! He's stronger than you!" Max urged her to cease resistance. He pounded against the prison wall.

Saitou grabbed Keke's neck and headbutted her. He then knocked her away with a kick. Seeing her partner in distress, Mosuramon evolved into Mothramon and flew straight into Saitou, pinning him against a wall.

"I've got ya, Keke!" Gojiramon caught her.

"Thanks, Gojiramon buddy!" Max said.

"Don't worry, I'm gonna bust ya out, Max!" Gojiramon fired his Atomic Flame at Max's prison seal first.

"Hey, don't forget about me!" Mana yelled to Gojiramon.

"Don't worry, sis! We're coming!" Shu cried out as he, Inori, and Gai climbed up to reach Mana.

Mothramon kept ramming her head into Saitou. As she went for another body slam, Saitou's aura pushed the Kaijuu Digimon back. Saitou put both hands out, producing a Saint Light Barrier, protecting him and pushing Mothramon back.

"Nice try, giant moth, but nothing is going to keep me from opening that gate! I want Max to see it all when a new order is brought upon the Nexus!" Saitou declared, using his aura to overpower and push away Mothramon. "I can't let you set them free!"

"Yeah? Well, too bad! Our Max isn't your friend and he wants nothing to do with ya!" Gojiramon protested as he blew another Atomic Flame. This time, and motivated to save Max at all costs, the flames pounded the prison walls hard enough to crack them.

"Damn it!" Saitou cursed as he witnessed Max's prison seal shatter before his eyes.

As if that wasn't enough, Shu and Gai used their swords to break Mana's seal. Genesis Inori finally shattered it using her crystal shard attacks. These attacks were enough to break the seal, freeing Mana.

"Oh yes, I'm free," Mana grinned sadistically as her powers returned to her.

"Mine as well!" Max powered up into Super Ascendant Blue.

Upon seeing Max in his full glory, Saitou couldn't help but smile.

"Max, your power. Your aura. It's so intoxicating. I'm drawn to it like a moth to a flame," Saitou muttered, finding himself entranced by Max's divine blue light. "The Max I knew never possessed this incredible energy. If he were here, he'd be drawn to you like I am now."

"I somehow doubt that. The other me likely never wanted you to go down this path, Saitou," Max said. "You chose poorly siding with these people and helping further their agendas."

Realizing this, Saitou reflected on memories of his friendship with his universe's Max Kamiya. He remembered their brotherly relations and their respect for each other's strengths.

Is it true, Max? Is this one right to tell me I chose poorly? Am I fighting for the wrong side…? No! You and my world were taken from me, leaving me alone to nearly die! It's thanks to these people that I've been able to reunite with another Max, so I may be able to start over! Saitou's fractured mind became conflicted between right and wrong. Ultimately, his poor decision would be his final one. "No, I made the right choice. You and I are together once again, Max! Nothing will keep us apart. Not ever again!" He hastily shot up past Gojiramon and reached for Max.

"MAX!" Keke and Gojiramon cried out together.

Bam!

Max caught Saitou with a fist to the face. He sent Saitou sailing far back as the Saint Light wielder bounced off a wall and landed on his feet. Saitou scanned the chamber as his opposition surrounded him.

"I'm sorry about the Max you called a friend and a brother, but I already have friends on my side," Max chided him while helping Keke up.

Mothramon recovered and awoke to see Keke safely in Max's embrace.

"Good to have you back, Max," Shu said, assembling Gai, Genesis Inori, and Mana with him.

After eating Digi-Vitamins, WarAngemon, Celesta X, Ultima X, and Zordiark X regrouped with the Spirit Detectives. They headed over where Max and company confronted Saitou.

"Party's over, Jr.," Yusuke scoffed, charging spirit energy in his index finger.

"Understand you can't win now, Saitou," Max plainly told him.

Despite being grossly outnumbered, Saitou calmed his tense emotions and palmed his face. He chuckled and then laughed loudly. His laughter filled the chamber and sent bad vibes to his opposition.

"Um, why isn't he scared? Like running scared?" Kuwabara asked nervously. "Wait, don't answer that."

"Might be for the best since we're still in for a fight," Kurama said.

"Don't worry, we still have Meta-Fusion," WarAngemon said, motioning over to Celesta X, Ultima X, and Zordiark X.

Max analyzed Saitou's behavioral shift. He already started to pick up on Saitou's mental state fracturing.

Saitou recollected his composure and scanned his opposition, most especially Max.

"Even if you kill me, you can't stop the gates from opening."

Max rebuked. "We'll see once it comes to that." He and the others readied themselves for the final round battle against Saitou.

Inner Chambers/Dimension: Yog-Sothoth's Realm

(Cue Castlevania: Curse of Darkness OST – Dracula's Castle)

Switching back to the inner chambers of Yog's realm, the process has already started with the gateway glowing and is opening. The energies from Yog-Sothoth and Ford (Story)'s spheres are transferred to the gate, yet the prisoners don't feel pain.

"Look R. Homura, even if the gate is open, aren't you satisfied?" Ford (Story) questioned the Rebellious Witch.

"I'm, I am not so certain. I'm doing this following orders and wonder if salvation can be saved." R. Homura answered.

"That's not true! There's no salvation from that dark force because seriously, there's something that you really need to know!" Jessica reprimanded her.

R. Homura remained quiet for a moment. She wondered if she's going to free her three prisoners.

Suddenly, R. Homura turns to see intruders arriving. Yog-Sothoth, Jessica, and Ford (Story) noticed them as well.

The intruders reveal themselves: Pluto, Volodramon, Homura, Venus, Saturn, Skogul (Corner), Gao Pluto, Carmen, Nick, and Carmen (Corner).

Jessica is surprised to see another Skogul (Corner). She notices her outfit looks a bit different. Plus in comparing their wings; Skogul's wings are fully golden, while Skogul (Corner)'s wings are white trimmed with gold.

Skogul (Corner) acknowledged Jessica's presence. "We finally meet other me. Yes, I can already tell you haven't fully matured. I wouldn't be captured like this so easily."

Jessica was at a loss for words seeing her Cornerverse counterpart.

"Dude, it's the other Jessica!" Nick pointed to Jessica.

Carmen waved and called out to Jessica. "We're here to free you, Jess!"

Carmen (Corner) nodded, sighing. "It won't be that simple. Right, Lady Skogul?"

Skogul (Corner) replied to her. "Yes, this Homura's power greatly exceeds ours combined. We must be careful."

Pluto pointed her Garnet Staff toward R. Homura. "I know full well you aren't the Homura I know. You're that Homura from that GCLR-1113 universe!"

"Very astute of you, Mistress of the Time Gates."

Homura shot a fierce glare at her alternate self. "Let these two go now!"

"Hear me out, Homura. Before we fight, I shall tell you about my past." R. Homura announced while showing her right hand, is a blackish-purple Dark Orb symbol glowing. "Like what Pluto mentioned, I originated in that alternate dimension similar to GCLK-1113. In the final stages of the war against GHQ, I took the final Void Genome and became its wielder instead of Shu. Events played out differently in the final battle, to which I then became the ruler of the utopia created by Crystal Tokyo. But….a universal pandemic of black crystals destroyed everything. My home dimension! I'm the sole survivor with my failures coming back to haunt me! So that's why I worked with the forces behind these agents that affect the Nexus because I have nowhere to go… yet. If I were to find the one responsible for destroying my world and my Madoka, I will kill that being slowly and painfully. But, I can't. Because I am ordered to get rid of you all, I'm sorry!"

R. Homura then brandishes two familiar void swords from her hands: The Singer's Sword and the Dancer's Sword. The Rebellious Witch does a fighting stance.

"Then, we'll have to stop you through force," Homura took out her guns.

Realizing they have no other choice, Pluto/Volodramon's group readied themselves for a tough battle.

Dimension: Yog-Sothoth's Realm

(Cue Castlevania Judgment – Time Reaper)

Meanwhile, the group continued their fight with Galakadi X.

Galakadi X swings his huge scythe at everyone, but all of the heroes evade with some receiving injuries from a devastating energy wave caused by the scythe. Galakadi X raises the palm of his hand and fires light purple lasers and small sickles. Most of the heroes evaded and took cover, some taking damage while others blocking them.

"Let's power up with new forms we got!" Sigrun cried out.

Sigrun and Gondul are powering up to their titled forms.

Gondul's white hair gained distinctive streaks of yellow highlights. She also gained African light gray tribal tattoos on her face. The lower part of her body has a topaz shaman dress with brown silhouettes of Geri and Freki. Her helmet is replaced by a tribal taupe cheetah mask with yellow spots on the left side of her face. Her white wings have yellow artistic cheetah spots. She is called the Topaz Valkyrie.

Sigrun's pink hair had some parts of her blond hair appearing as if her human and Valkyrie hair color somehow merged. The lower part of her body had an amethyst dress with pink silhouettes of Tanngrisnir and Tanngnjostr. Her helmet is replaced by a pink diadem mixed with an Australian ceremonial caramel headdress shaped like kangaroo ears. She is called the Amethyst Valkyrie.

Reginleif (Corner) added. "And don't forget me!" She powered up, too.

Reginleif (Corner)'s long auburn hair has fiery bolts at the end of each hair tip. Bright flaming wings sprout out of her back. The lower part of her body had a jasper dress with a burgundy silhouette of Duneryr of Summer. She wears a persimmon diadem. Reginleif (Corner) is called the Jasper Erinye. She bravely holds Surtur's Laevateinn greatsword on her right hand, while holding a kite shield with a fire salamander insignia on her left hand. This makes her like a fiery shieldmaiden.

Surprisingly, Sigrun summoned an Einherji of a familiar face.

"Holy crap! Is that my YYGDM-01 self?!" Reginleif (Corner) shouted.

Indeed, she is a young woman with long auburn hair, freckles, grayish black full-body knight armor with spikes on her shoulder pads, grayish black armored gauntlets with claws on each fingertip, and wearing no spiked crown. She is named Reginleif, the Berserker Erinye. Her eyes are now normal, showing she controls herself after being freed from Mist (YYGDM-01).

Reginleif turns to Sigrun and asks, "Sigrun, how may I serve thee?"

Sigrun answers her Einherji. "Help us defeat the enemy that's been beating us. Lend us all the support you can."

Reginleif then turns to Reginleif (Corner), "Thou look just like me?"

Reginleif (Corner) chuckles. "Yeah, no shit, huh?" She then turned to Sigrun. "Well, let's finish this jerk off so we can move forward."

With that, Sigrun, Gondul, Reginleif (Corner), and Reginleif rushed toward Galakadi X.

"Oh, you fools are such gluttons for punishment! So be it then!" Galakadi X raised his hands, launching a bombardment of purple lasers and sickles that rained over the chamber.

However, the Valkyries, the Erinye, and the Einherji hastily dodged the incoming energy wave storm. Galakadi X scowled and flew over to attack the four. He reached for Sigrun, who jumped away at high speed. Reginleif intercepted Galakadi X and stopped his scythe with both hands. Reginleif then lifted the scythe and kicked it out of Galakadi X's grip.

"Now, my Lady Sigrun! You and your compatriots can attack!" Reginleif called out.

Reginleif (Corner) smirked. "Other me you've done well." She brandished her greatsword and flew over on Galakadi X's left side.

Galakadi X unleashed purple lasers on Reginleif (Corner), who responded with her shield protecting her from the Digimon's destructive blasts. Reginleif (Corner) screamed a defiant battle cry and shoved her greatsword through Galakadi X's side.

"Damn you…!" Galakadi X gritted, feeling the sword being drive into his body. He continued firing lasers, which Reginleif (Corner) stopped with her shield.

Sigrun and Gondul rushed Galakadi X head-on. Sigrun transformed into a streak of pinkish purple light. Gondul became a streak of pure white light. They shot forward and slammed through Galakadi X. The combined force of the Valkyries obliterated Galakadi X in short order.

Having exhausted their powers to defeat Galakadi X, Sigrun and Gondul both regressed to their civilian forms.

(End theme)

"Hell yeah, we kicked his sorry ass to oblivion!" Reginleif (Corner) boasted their victory. She turned to Reginleif and raised a hand for a high-five. "Right, put it there, other me!"

Reginleif blinked in confusion. "Excuse me?"

Reginleif (Corner) awkwardly glanced away. "Or, not… never mind."

Reginleif gave a slow high-five to her counterpart. "There. I think that's how it's done."

Reginleif (Corner) smiled at this. "Yeah, that's how it's done." She and Reginleif checked on the two Valkyries.

"Lady Sigrun, well done slaying that beast," Reginleif praised her. "Lord Odin would be proud."

Kara smirked. "Thanks."

Ayanna sighed hard. "That sure took a lot out of us. I feel drained."

"Damn, you two look worn," Argo remarked.

"Enough so you're back in your human forms," Shibungi noted.

Reginleif (Corner) chuckled. "Well, those two did go all out and use up their powers to full capacity. Both of them are useless in any big fight going forward, but no need to worry! Enough rest for a day or two and their Valkyrie powers should regenerate to full strength!"

Ayanna chuckled. "She's not wrong. We are liabilities now."

Ayase helped up Kara. "Don't worry, we've got your backs, you two."

Kara smirked. "Thanks."

Ayanna sighed hard. "That sure took a lot out of us. I feel drained."

Sayaka giggled. "A little rest wouldn't hurt! You two earned it!"

"That's one adversary down," Shibungi stated.

"He was a tough one to beat, but it all worked out in the end," Sayaka said.

Ayase added. "I hope the others were able to find Mana in time."

Reginleif (Corner) thought, "My Kara, I just hope you're okay."

Pacific Ocean/Underwater/Dimension: Character Corner

Returning to the Cornerverse dimension, the unconscious Sigrun (Corner) is seen underwater. Thrown off from Lyngbakr by Black Gondul, she is seemly drowning.

Gondul (Corner) swam down, getting close to save her.

At least, until a Great white shark swam toward Sigrun (Corner). This shark is something Kara Summers is familiar with. Gondul (Corner) senses no malice from the animal as she follows him. His name is Bruce, and he is seen carrying Sigrun (Corner) to the surface…

xxxxx

Pacific Ocean/Dimension: Character Corner

….both Bruce and Sigrun (Corner) reaches the ocean surface for air. Gondul (Corner) reaches the surface as well. Sigrun (Corner) regains consciousness and coughs out water, figuring out that she has been saved. Her arm is holding the shark himself.

"Bruce…?" Sigrun (Corner) muttered.

Suddenly, the Great white shark surprisingly speaks in a deep voice.

"Sigrun, so glad you're safe." 'Bruce' stated.

"What the-?! You can talk?!" Sigrun (Corner) yelled of regaining her strength.

"Actually, my true identity is the Hawaiian god and Pele's brother, Kamohoalii." The shark properly introduced. "I've been watching you for some time a few years back, right when Brunhilde's group arrived in Sydney and awakened your Valkyrie self."

Sigrun (Corner) couldn't believe this. "...you're really a Hawaiian god?"

Kamohoalii nodded. "Yes, and while looks may be deceiving, I have great wisdom. I chose this shark form in order to watch you grow up and realize your Valkyrie destiny."

"And here I thought people would think I'm crazy for befriending a Great white shark and not something typical like an orca or a dolphin."

"I took on the form of animal you're closely tied to."

Sigrun (Corner) smiled as she patted Kamohoalii's snout. "Well, I'm just glad you came when I needed you now. Hey, can I still call you Bruce?"

Kamohoalii chuckled. "Of course, between you and me, Kara."

"Thanks for still looking out for me."

Gondul (Corner) genuinely smiled watching Sigrun (Corner) and Bruce's bonding.

"Bruce, you see my friend over there? She's…"

"Ayanna or I should also refer to you as Gondul," Bruce acknowledged the other Valkyrie's presence.

"It's an honor, sir," Gondul (Corner) bowed lightly to Bruce. "Kara also means a lot to me."

"Yes, of course, and I expect a beautiful relationship to blossom from your love," Bruce said. "But, you two are needed. Your friends need you to stop the Renegade Light Elf and her cohorts."

"Right, we have work to do, Kara," Gondul (Corner) stood ready to leave.

Sigrun (Corner) hugged Bruce. "We'll catch up another time."

"Yes. Please be careful, Kara."

"We'll be back," Sigrun (Corner) nodded as she and Gondul (Corner) flew away, leaving Bruce to praying for their safe return.

Lyngbakr/Dimension: Character Corner

(Cue Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age OST - Fury of the Entities)

The fight against the Beast Tamers (Corner) and their Mistrux counterparts wages on. BlazeGallantmon (Corner) engaged Suzaist. StormSakuyamon (Corner) fought Seirist. QuakeGargomon (Corner) battled Genbist. AuroraInumon (Corner) fought Byakist. Both sides keep firing their elemental attacks, with neither taking a hit.

As the fight went on, the four Beast Spirit Mistruxes combined to form a Kirin abomination with Mist (YYGDM-01)'s face and has elements of Yiazmat (Final Fantasy XII). The name of it is called Kiriist, which gave a loud bellow.

"Oh crap!" BlazeGallantmon (Corner) cried out.

"Now they are getting serious." QuakeGargomon (Corner) muttered under Henry (Corner)'s voice.

Suddenly, a javelin jump strike directly struck Kiriist as the figure jumped back for safety. That figure reveals to be the female Lokar general, Sanngridor. Two Lokar generals appear behind her: Gunnar (Corner) and Hagen.

"You kids are alright?" Sanngridor asked the Beast Tamers (Corner).

"Well, yeah! We're still alive thanks to you!" StormSakuyamon (Corner) shouted.

"Yeah, thanks for saving our butts there!" AuroraInumon (Corner) expressed gratitude for their saviors.

"Let's save the thanks for after the battle. We've got big problems to deal with now!" BlazeGallantmon (Corner) reminded them of the Kiriist.

Sanngridor nodded. "That's why we're here!"

Gunnar (Corner) commented. "So, my other counterpart's been merged with this abomination? Such a terrible fate."

The Kiriist roars as the upper body between its neck and front legs bursts in showing the face and neck of Gunnar (YYGDM-01), allowing him to briefly meet his Corner counterpart.

Gunnar (Corner) gaped in shock. "I would never wish this one anyone."

Hagen added. "Except for those who are truly insidious."

The Kiriist roared loudly and expelled flame blasts. The Beast Tamers (Corner), Sanngridor, Gunnar (Corner), and Hagen dodged the incoming fiery blasts. They spread out surrounding the Kiriist and unleashed a united attack.

BlazeGallantmon (Corner) jumped up and jabbed his lance through the Kiriist's neck. BlazeGallantmon (Corner) bombarded multiple Phoenix Shots into Kiriist's face. StormSakuyamon (Corner) flies up into the air, swinging her staff around and bringing down the storm on the Kiriist. QuakeGargomon (Corner) rushed and pounded on the Kiriist's head. AuroraInumon (Corner) tossed a barrage of silver-laced blades known as his Magnet Blades. These blades tore into the Kiriist. AuroraInumon (Corner) summoned Gram and slashed off one of the Kiriist's limbs. Sanngridor jumped up, pulling out and retrieving her javelin from the Kiriist. Hagen slashed at Kiriist.

The Kiriist mounted a retaliation attack on the warriors. However, they were able to rebound and fend off the Kiriist's attacks. Gunnar (Corner) briefly meets the Gunnar (YYGDM-01), whose face groans and pleads to get killed.

"Ple...ase...kill...me...kill...me…" Gunnar (YYGDM-01) groaned loudly.

Gunnar (Corner) gave a merciful look. "As you wish, we'll end your pain."

Honoring Gunnar (YYGDM-01)'s wishes, the Beast Tamers (Corner), Sanngridor, Gunnar (Corner), and Hagen worked together tearing into Kiriist. Gunnar (Corner) covered Gunnar (YYGDM-01)'s face and gives him a mercy killing, snapping his neck quickly. BlazeGallantmon (Corner) rallied the other Beast Tamers (Corner) as they amassed their attacks into a giant ball of destructive energy. They sent the destructive blast toward the Kiriist and wiped it out. As a result of the Kiriist's demise, Loki (VP), Fenrir (VP), and Bloodbane are cured of Mist (YYGDM-01)'s infection as their souls will ultimately return to Niflheim.

Gunnar (Corner) lowered his head, praying for his counterpart's merciful demise. "Hopefully you'll find peace in the afterlife." He then shifted over to the Beast Tamers (Corner). "By the way, I visited Hitori in the afterlife."

"That's Kotori's sister!" AuroraInumon (Corner) replied in Himura's voice. "I remember having a crush on her for a time."

"She says hi to you and Kotori," Gunnar (Corner) said.

AuroraInumon (Corner) nodded. "Tell her I said thanks. Kotori and I still think of her."

BlazeGallantmon (Corner) sighed. "Well, we still have other bad guys to clear out. C'mon, let's move."

Hagen offered. "And we shall help in any way we can, friends."

"Thanks," AuroraInumon (Corner) replied.

As the Beast Tamers (Corner) and their new cohorts leave, unbeknownst to them the remaining essences of Gunnar (YYGDM-01) return to Mist (YYGDM-01), who has already anticipated his demise.

(Cue Unrestrained Struggle - Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria)

The fight between Moon (Corner) and Lenneth against Lezard reached its conclusion.

Lezard fires large magic energy spheres at his two opponents, but the maidens evaded them as they hit and explode in contact. This serves as a distraction, allowing the evil sorcerer to fire his holy beams from the sky. Some of the beams hit both maidens, but they took little damage. As Moon (Corner) quickly gets up, she sensed that Lezard rushes with fast speed and grabs her Silver Gungnir.

"I got you!" Lezard declared.

Moon (Corner) held her weapon and retorted, "You let go!"

However, Lezard quickly steals the weapon from the Moon Princess, a reminder of his past memory when he once stole Odin (Valkyrie Profile)'s Gungnir. Moon (Corner) readied her stance as Lezard is about to strike with the stolen Silver Gungnir. But, Lenneth arrives in time to save her new ally by blocking the weapon, even though Moon (Corner) could already defend herself anyway.

"Thanks, Lenneth!" Moon (Corner) said to the Valkyrie.

"You're welcome, Moon Princess," Lenneth replied as she glared at Lezard.

"What? Is there anything else you can do, dear Lenneth?" Lezard taunted.

Without a word, Lenneth charged at Lezard as their weapons clashed. Lezard fires magic from the Silver Gungnir at Lenneth, but Lenneth evaded and casts Tri-Blast, firing three arrows at Lezard. Lezard blocks them all with Moon (Corner)'s stolen weapon, only for Moon (Corner) to shot an energy beam made out of moon energy at him. This makes Lezard drop the Silver Gungnir, allowing Moon (Corner) to reclaim it. Then, Lenneth charges up her sword.

"It shall be engraved upon your soul! Divine Assault! Nibelung Valesti!" The Valkyrie Profile maiden declared.

Lenneth then flew ahead and slashed Lezard, hitting the evil sorcerer with a flurry of rapid and lightning sword slashes.

Slash! Slash! Swish! Slash!

Lezard is sent flying up, allowing Lenneth to fly above and slashes him down to the ground.

The bloodied Lezard muttered with a smile, "Lost again. Oh well, I'll still haunt you, my dear Lenneth. Hehe..."

With that said, Lezard died as his body disappeared out of the living realm. Moon (Corner) and Lenneth sighed with relief.

"That was close, who knows what Lezard would've used my spear for." Moon (Corner) stated.

"We are going to help our allies next," Lenneth replied.

"Right, Lenneth." Moon (Corner) nodded.

Geirskogul, Pluto, Gao Pluto, Silmeria, Aluminum Siren, and Lead Crow are continuing their fight against Black Skogul and her Persona.

Red Huginn & Muninn are beside their master as the dark Valkyrie flies up.

Black Skogul gives a wicked smirk as Astarte's Will behind her powers up, "So, ready to die now?"

Black Skogul's Persona then unleashes a temporal explosive wave. It was the same technique that destroyed Portland and now attempted to kill her foes in one swoop with it. However, Pluto (Corner) & Lupe, Gao Pluto (Corner) & Ratatoskr and Geirskogul (Corner) hold off the wave with their time (and Geirskogul's antimatter) powers. Geirskogul (Corner) summoned Durathror and Dark Chilali to help them out.

Geirskogul (Corner) then speaks out on a random topic while holding off the wave, "Say Setsuna and Hina. Recalling how Lupe (YYGDM-01) origin was a Svartalf native, what is Lupe (Corner)'s different origin?"

Pluto (Corner) responded. "My Lupe is merely a spirit wolf that lived in Makai."

Lupe added. "Correct, I lived among Lycans in the Makai and ventured into Earth's realm for a time before I was welcomed to the Moon Kingdom."

Gao Pluto (Corner). "Yeah, he's different from the other Lupe that way."

Ratatoskr called out. "Hey, less chatting and more fighting the bad guys!"

Silmeria concurred. "Focus on the enemy, friends!"

Geirskogul (Corner) shouted at Black Skogul. "And I'll be the one that kills you since Jessica isn't here!"

(End theme)

Black Skogul scowled as she withdrew Astarte's Will to recover. However, her opposition wouldn't allow for any more recovery time for the Black Valkyrie and her Persona.

Pluto (Corner) flew up hitting Black Skogul with her Garner Staff. She then unleashed and blasted Astarte's Will with her Deadly Scream. The blast impacted and damaged Astarte's Will. Silmeria slashed into Astarte's Will but didn't stop there as she gave repeated slashes to damage the Persona even further.

"Ready?!" Sailor Lead Crow rallied Aluminum Siren to double team the Persona.

"Let's do this!" Aluminum Siren declared.

Lead Crow and Aluminum wrapped each other's fingers together, pulling themselves into a loving embrace. They performed a courtship dance as they danced they put their hands out, sending a red wave of cosmic energy toward the Astarte's Will.

Witnessing her Persona fall to its demise, Black Skogul turned to face Geirskogul (Corner), who was gearing up to finish this.

"Down to you and me. I told you I'd finish you!" Geirskogul (Corner) declared as she and Black Skogul briefly exchanged lightning fast kicks and punches.

As Black Skogul went for a kick, Geirskogul (Corner) ducked under the Black Valkyrie's physical attack. Geirskogul (Corner) blasted her with an antimatter beam. Try to resist as she might, Black Skogul was quickly overtaken by Geirskogul (Corner)'s antimatter attack. Geirskogul (Corner) then cast an antimatter sphere, which enveloped over and encased Black Skogul.

"This one's for you, my love and my partner!" Geirskogul (Corner) declared her next attack in the name of Ford (Corner) and Skogul (Corner). "Now I've got you where I want you!" She increased the power of her antimatter sphere, which began crushing Black Skogul.

As Red Huginn and Muninn try to save Black Skogul, Geirskogul's spirit partner, Durathror and Dark Chilali stopped the crows from interfering.

Black Skogul witnessed her body slowly breaking down and dissolving. The longer she stayed inside the antimatter sphere, the quicker her body weakened and dried up before decomposing. As Geirskogul (Corner) withdrew her sphere, Black Skogul collapsed a dried husk of her former self.

With their master now defeated, Red Huginn and Muninn both faded.

"Your revenge is complete, Skogul," Geirskogul (Corner) sighed with satisfaction.

"All right, we beat one Black Valkyrie!" Gao Pluto (Corner) cheered.

"But two more left to go," Ratatoskr said.

"Hopefully, Brunhilde and Gondul have finished them by now," Pluto (Corner) said.

(Cue Sailor Moon Crystal OST - The Demon who Swallows Planets)

Just then, Pluto/Gao Pluto (Corner)'s group sensed dark energy coming from Skuld (Corner).

"Pluto, I don't like this," Gao Pluto (Corner) shuddered fearfully.

Geirskogul (Corner) frowned. "Oh no… this is Skuld's power. We're in deep trouble."

Pluto (Corner) gripped her Garnet Staff. "This power is coming from one of our own Valkyrie Maidens. Oh, Queen Serenity help us."

Sailor Lead Crow whispered to Sailor Aluminum Siren. "Sounds like some crazy shit's about to break out."

Aluminum Siren nodded. "Yep, so hopefully we aren't asked to deal with it."

Lead Crow patted her friend's shoulder. "Let's pray we don't. I'd rather have Lady Galaxia kick our butts than meet whoever's sending these bad vibes."

Likewise for Moon (Corner) and Lenneth. They have a bad feeling about this.

The bloody fight between Mist (Corner) & Volcanicdramon and Mist (YYGDM-01) continued. The Mists remain in their slide-beast forms mauling at each other. Mist (Corner) backs off and breathed spring green flames at Mist (YYGDM-01). Mist (YYGDM-01) runs and blasts poisonous flames from her Mist snake head at her counterpart. Mist (Corner) conjures a spring green firewall to dispel them.

Suddenly, both Mists paused the fight for a moment as they turned back to their human forms and sensed Skuld (Corner)'s energy. Mist (YYGDM-01) gave an evil smile, knowing she remembered her dimension's first Ragnarok, which was the result of Skuld (YYGDM-01)'s destructive power.

Both Brunhilde (Corner) and Black Brunhilde paused the fight, sensing the dark energy.

The Beast Tamers (Corner) and Lokar Generals sensed the dark energy. BlazeGallantmon (Corner) is reminded of his bad memory of Megidramon.

Lyngbakr/Dimension: Character Corner

Skuld (Corner) & Garm, Rota & Dainn, Geiravor & Dvalinn, Hrist, Philippe (Corner), Anuli, Jeri (Corner), and Sara are still facing Black Gondul and her Persona. Black Gondul notices Skuld (Corner)'s anger causing green flames to burn many trees like a wildfire.

Skuld (Corner) gritted in ferocity as blood is spilled down from her mouth. As she stomped, it left burnt marks on the ground. Skuld (Corner)'s face contorts beyond disturbance. Her green flames permanently shot out of her eyes as they spin around like Mistress 9 (Crystal)'s. Skuld (Corner)'s ears become pointy with two small white crystal shards each above the ears. Devilish horns burst out of her forehead. Her teeth lengthen and become suited for a carnivorous beast. White spikes bursted out of her back and shoulders. Her skin turns light obsidian with volcanic Tron Lines. The Valkyrie's white hair grew longer and wilder. Nails from her fingers are extended. She does not wield her scythe anymore. Bestial feet burst out of her boots. The Valkyrie's black wings become demonic with white crystal-like spikes instead of feathered. A black prehensile tail with white crystal-like spikes emerged from out of her backside. Her skin throughout, and seen through her wings, revealed moaning and screaming demonic human faces and hands appeared randomly as if corpses wanting to burst out from their 'mother'.

She has gained a demonic form called Helregina. The heroes are surprised in horror that this is the same form Skuld (YYGDM-01) turned into and destroyed YYGDM-01's Asgard way back during Ragnarok's final moments.

"RRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Helregina gave a hellish roar (Besides Skuld's own voice, a demonic echo is added) that is heard throughout all of Midgard.

Suddenly, Lyngbakr lets out a pained bellow, letting out a huge spout of water from his forehead blowhole.

"Careful, the uproarious anger of Hela's hellspawn is accelerating the whale's torture. It won't be long until Japan is sunk to the depths of the sea." Black Gondul warned while laughing at Skuld (Corner)'s silly anger. "If this keeps up on the other hand, then Skuld's meltdown is going to destroy all of Midgard, just like what her YYGDM-01 self did to Asgard back in Ragnarok."

Philippe (Corner) pleaded to Skuld (Corner). "SASHA!"

Jeri (Corner) held Philippe (Corner) back. "That's not Sasha or Lady Skuld anymore…"

Garm dreaded seeing Skuld's new form. "This beast has ceased to be Skuld. She has tapped and embraced her full demonic nature! With the power she's wielding now, she'll destroy this realm!"

Hrist growled as she flew at Helregina. Hastily drawing out her sword, she attacked Helregina, who stopped Hrist's blade with one hand. Helregina effortlessly tossed Hrist back. Geiravor and Dvalinn both caught Hrist.

"Crap, Gondul leave us to fight not just your dark counterpart, but now a completely unstable demon Skuld?!" Geiravor exclaimed.

Even Rota couldn't find anything amusing about this scenario. She was utterly speechless by Skuld's full demon nature.

Helregina stomped toward Black Gondul with the intent to kill. Her eyes burned with intensity as she stared down Black Gondul.

"What? Am I supposed to be afraid of you, now that you're a freak?" Black Gondul remained unfazed, and then taunted Helregina, "Silly little rabbit (also referring to Sasha), tricks are for kids."

Hearing this insult, Helregina growled as blood spilled from her mouth. She opened her mouth, roaring loudly and defiantly.

"RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

She let out an earth-shattering roar that shook the whole of the leviathan's back, causing it to tip back and forth. Helregina quickly lunged at Black Gondul. Black Gondul barely dodged, but Helregina responded by flapping her black wings and shooting out white crystal shards. Black Gondul tried to stop the white shards, but a few stabbed her body.

"Damn it!" Black Gondul growled, tearing off the white crystals piercing her skin. Before she can respond with an attack, Helregina swiftly phased in front of her and unleashed a fist imbued with green flames.

Bam!

Helregina one-punched Black Gondul down with pathetic ease. Everyone watched in utter disbelief over Helregina easily taking down the Black Valkyrie.

Anuli muttered in utter shock. "Incredible…"

Hrist gritted witnessing Helregina's power in full display. "I'm glad I'm not fighting her now."

"In this form, she's very much capable of destroying that Black Valkyrie single-handedly," Garm remarked, assessing Helregina's strength. "She has more than double the power to end all life in Midgard, but…"

"But what?" Philippe (Corner) asked him, looking worryingly at Helregina.

Before Garm can answer, Black Gondul stood up while trying to recover from Helregina's brutal attack.

"Move away! I'm coming through!" Geiravor declared.

(Cue Attack on Titan OST - TWO-lives/The Weight Of Lives)

Geiravor shapeshifts into a Diplodocus and smacks Black Gondul with her whip-like tail. Unaware, Anat's Will becomes a Camel spider and crawls on the sauropod's back and then shapeshifts into a Giganotosaurus, biting Geiravor's neck and pinning her down. Geiravor cries out in pain, struggling to free herself.

Out of the blue, a thunder strike then hits Anat's Will, knocking Black Gondul's Persona over to the ground. The savior reveals to be Sigrun (Corner), who is flying in mid-air to save her friends. Gondul (Corner) arrives with her. Gondul (Corner) is also surprised to see Helregina. Anat's Will gets up and roars. Scarlet Geri & Freki stand beside the theropod persona.

"What is that monster over there?!" Sigrun (Corner) asked, casting a fearful look over Helregina.

"That's Lady Skuld!" Sara answered her Valkyrie Maiden.

"No, so that dark power turned her into this?!" Gondul (Corner) exclaimed, shifting her gaze on Black Gondul. "You pushed her this far!" She angrily gritted and flew toward Black Gondul. "I'll make you pay for this!"

Black Gondul snapped her fingers, beckoning her Persona forward. "Anat's Will, come forth and defend!"

Gondul (Corner) shapeshifted into a T. rex while Geiravor shapeshifted into a four-legged (accurate portrayal) Spinosaurus. Both charged at Anat's Will/Giganotosaurus. Gondul (Corner) and Anat's Will fight with their jaws. Geiravor bites down Anat's Will's leg, injuring her. Anat's Will furiously kicks Geiravor down. Gondul (Corner) bites the persona on the neck, but Anat's Will frees itself and bites Gondul (Corner), throwing her to the ground. However, Geiravor shapeshifted into an Achillobator and leaps above Anat's Will's head, delivering painful slashes. Anat's Will roared and became a distraction. Gondul (Corner) quickly gets up and bites Anat's Will on the neck, plowing it through the trees, while Geiravor kept slashing Anat's Will's back.

"All right, Rota! Let this thing have it!" Geiravor beckoned her the Carcass Erinye to finish Black Gondul's Persona.

Rota summoned a flayed centaur creature with a full horse body & head and an upper humanoid body called the Nuckelavee, which came armed with a lance, and a small army of flayed zombies. Rota's undead warriors charged to attack and lunged at Anat's Will. Rota then summons her Dainsleif sword and drives it through the back of Anat's Will's head.

"See? You think you can still one-up me now…?!" Rota turned only to see Helregina violently punched and tearing into Black Gondul. "You fucking glory hog!" She screamed with rage, delivering the finishing blow to Black Gondul's Persona.

Helregina lifted Black Gondul by her face and flew up carrying her. The Black Valkyrie struggled to break loose, punching and kicking the demonic entity's stranglehold. Try as she might, Helregina refused to release her captive prey item. She stared into the face of a grinning sadist with murderous intent.

"As scared as I am of what she's become, she can finish Black Gondul for us," Sigrun (Corner) said.

"Yeah," Gondul (Corner) quietly agreed, meticulously watching Helregina.

Suddenly, Black Gondul used whatever strength she had to punch Helregina's gut several times. She punched Helregina's stomach again, causing her to falter back and let go. Having broken out of the demon's hold, Black Gondul conjured her Dark Spear and drove through Helregina's chest. She summoned another Dark Spear and shoved it through Helregina's head. She produced another and drove it into Helregina's back. She forged a fourth and drove it hard into the demon's cranium.

Before long, Helregina was entirely covered with black spears sticking all over her body. Black Gondul panted hard acting out on pure desperation on her part.

"Now let's see you break out of this!" Black Gondul roared. She lunged at Helregina with two more Dark Spears, aiming to gouge the demon's eyes out with them. As she prepared to take out her vision…

Helregina grabbed the two spears and crushed them. Much to her dismay, Black Gondul was pulled by Helregina and yanked forward. Helregina's body produced a fiery green aura, which burned and dissolved the black spears from her body. Black Gondul quickly folded her legs around Helregina's neck hoping to snap the demon's neck, but Helregina shoved her claws through Black Gondul's chiseled abs and tore open her stomach.

"Ugh… you… impure beast… you haven't won…!" Black Gondul chided Helregina, who tore her hand out of Black Gondul's gut.

Helregina roared triumphantly and unleashed her green flames, igniting and setting Black Gondul ablaze. Both were engulfed in green flames. Gondul (Corner), Sigrun (Corner), and the others rushed over to stop Helregina, but the demon beckoned them off with her green flames protecting her.

However, Black Gondul refused to relent and drove one last Dark Spear through Helregina's chest, causing her to bleed all over and collapse.

"...I told you… you haven't won… yet… the battle with me has yet to begin…" Black Gondul muttered as the demonic flames burned her flesh into char and embers.

Scarlet Geri and Freki both faded.

"SKULD!" The group called out to their Valkyrie friend, who pulled the black spear out with her last ounce of strength left.

Philippe (Corner) ran through and watched as Helregina transformed back to Skuld (Corner), who then regressed back to Sasha (Corner). She fell unconscious as the green flames healed her chest wound. However, she had expended her powers as a result of the demon transformation.

(End theme)

"SASHA!" Philippe (Corner) held the unconscious Sasha (Corner).

"Philippe, take her somewhere to recover. Right now she's not in any condition to fight with us," Garm ordered him. "We'll take the rest from here."

"But won't you need me?"

"Do as he says, Philippe," Gondul (Corner) approved Garm's suggestion. "You have to be at Sasha's side when she wakes up."

"All right," Philippe (Corner) complied with their orders. He carried Sasha away and departed from the battlefield, leaving the others to handle the remainder of the conflict.

"If Skuld's out of the picture like this, we're in trouble," Garm nodded.

"Nah! You still got me after all!" Rota boasted. "We don't need Skully!"

"Hey, shut up!" Gondul (Corner) snapped at Rota. "She tore my evil counterpart a new asshole!"

"Yet she got the last laugh and critically wounded Skuld, taking her out of commission. Quedesha had it figured out," Geiravor plainly said. "Sorry to say, but Rota's our best bet out of our group now. She may not be as strong as Skuld, but she can summon an army of the undead to help our cause."

"Maybe, but our Skuld is one of a kind," Sigrun (Corner) said. "And don't forget about Brunhilde. I wonder if she's finished that last Black Valkyrie already."

(Cue Rivers in the Desert - Persona 5)

The bloody fight between Mist (Corner) & Volcanicdramon and Mist (YYGDM-01) has resumed.

Mist (Corner) summoned both Eikthyrnir and Gullinbursti (Corner). Mist (YYGDM-01) recalled her Gullinbursti (YYGDM-01) turned against her back during YYGDM-01's Second Ragnarok. Gullinbursti (Corner) ruthlessly charged at Mist (YYGDM-01), knocking her off balance. Eikthyrnir fires a beam from his antlers, alongside Volcanicdramon fires molten blasts to damage Mist (YYGDM-01).

Despite the damage she's taken, Mist (YYGDM-01) couldn't help but laugh at her counterpart's valiant efforts.

Mist (YYGDM-01) openly praised Mist (Corner). "I must commend you for going all out to kill me. You've indeed evolved into an anti-hero type that I abhor so much."

"Better that and keep my dignity than regress into some bottom-feeding whore who lost it all," Mist (Corner) chastised her evil mainstream counterpart. "I've honed my powers and lead a better example for my Erinye team. And what of your Erinyes?"

Mist (YYGDM-01) spat. "Like I gave a shit about them. They're expendable to me and always have been."

Mist (Corner) gritted furiously. "Unforgivable. I won't let you leave here alive then." She marched toward Mist (YYGDM-01) with Volcanicdramon, Eikthyrnir, and Gullinbursti (Corner) following her lead.

As she backed off from their advance, Mist (YYGDM-01) formulated a scheme.

"You don't want to kill me."

Mist (Corner) channeled energy into her right hand. "And why the hell not?"

"Because if you do, you won't know the truth."

"What truth?"

Mist (YYGDM-01) wore a devilish grin. "About your birth and our connection."

This managed to halt Mist (Corner)'s advancement.

"Yes, now I have your attention, my dear Mist. Listen closely…"

xxxxx

Likewise with Brunhilde, Sleipnir, & MetalSeadramon facing Black Brunhilde, Crimson Sleipnir & her Persona/Asherah's Will. Grani is summoned by Brunhilde. Black Brunhilde called forth Viral Grani from the Battle Supremacy segments. Both Grani and Viral Grani are settling the score. While both Brunhilde and Black Brunhilde are beating each other up, Black Brunhilde countered and pinned her down.

Black Brunhilde evilly smirked as she fondled Brunhilde's breasts. "And just so you know, I will kill every last Frost Giant in Jotunheim like the cattle they are, especially children. But most of all, your highness, I will rock your majesty (Kouichi) and prove why my elven beauty is more beautiful than any Frost Giant and Valkyrie hybrid filth! He will taste my pink fluids."

This ignited Brunhilde with incandescent rage as her face turned light blue and eyes turned green, hence showing her half-Frost Giant heritage.

"C'mon, you filthy hybrid mutt!" Black Brunhilde goaded the enraged Valkyrie, who quickly flew into her and unleashed a flurry of blue-coated fists. She tried to cover up, but Brunhilde (Corner) blasted her with blue flaming fists.

"YOU BITCH! YOU'RE NOT GOING NEAR THOSE FROST GIANTS I'VE BEFRIENDED! YOU HARM THEM AND I'LL TEAR YOU A THOUSAND NEW ASSHOLES!" Brunhilde roared with intense fury. She then forged a long spear made of blue flames and slashed Black Brunhilde. "AND DON'T EVER LAY A FINGERNAIL ON MY GUY!"

Brunhilde shoved her hand through Black Brunhilde's chest and ripped out the Black Force Crystal. She expelled blue flames and destroyed the Black Force Crystal. Black Brunhilde's eyes widened as her crystal shattered into shards.

"NOW EAT SHIT AND DIE!" Brunhilde roared, invoking her Moon Force Crystal, which became imbued with her blue flames. The combined energies of the crystal and her dual fire/ice powers combined into a silver sheen of light, which formed into a giant sword. She grabbed the giant silver sword and swooped down with fury in her eyes.

Black Brunhilde opened her eyes and saw Brunhilde diving at her at fast speeds. Before she could resist, Brunhilde drove her blade into Black Brunhilde and hacked her body in two, splitting her through the torso. Brunhilde's Valkyrie's Fury finished the job.

Now bisected, the Black Valkyrie's upper and lower bodies hit the ground. Black Brunhilde's face twitched painfully as she tried crawling away. Brunhilde descended and put her foot on Black Brunhilde's back.

"It's over," Brunhilde muttered, shoving her sword through the Black Valkyrie and sealed her fate.

Crimson Sleipnir, Asherah's Will, and Viral Grani are also defeated. However, the Black Valkyrie's evil smirk left an ominous sign the war was far from over.

(End theme)

The Black Odin Triad has been vanquished. This leaves Mist (YYGDM-01) the sole hateful target remaining. All of the heroes are gathering up. Then out of the blue; Ellen, Nicolle, Eiko, and Eikou arrive to join the heroes.

"We made it to the place!" Eikou stated.

"Are we missing out?" Nicolle wondered.

"Not really just yet, I know they can free that whale from their control," Ellen said.

(Cue Two Steps From Hell - Fortress of Seduction)

Suddenly, streams of golden air arrive from the ground locations where the Black Odin Triad were slain. Alarmed, the group sensed a malignant essence from the energy stream that is reforming.

The three energies merge together, forming the renegade Light Elf. She has golden skin, her body is almost nude wearing a white bra and loincloth designed like a wood leopard moth that covers her private parts except for her revealing butt, white small furred necklace with a rose gem, long mauve hair with streaks of platinum blond stays the same, white-furred ear plates above her pointy ears remain same, three pale lilac irises shaped like a Valknut design together remains barefooted, and has a thistle tattoo/design in her back of a Sephirot shape of the Nine Realms and Memoria. The Light Elf opens her eyes in revealing her hellish irises and smiles. Quedesha is here.

"So glad to properly show my cardinal presence," Quedesha announced to her opposition.

"You're her. You're my ancestor," Ellen muttered as her eyes widened and she is shaken in fear.

Quedesha turns to Ellen, "That's right, my descendant. You're afraid of me because I look down on you, isn't it?"

"I've heard nothing but infamous stories about you!" Ellen responded. "Knowing what you've done, I refuse to accept you're my ancestor!"

Quedesha demoralized her. "Well, I'm insulted a weak bleeding heart like you is my descendant." She looked over as Brunhilde (Corner), Gondul (Corner), Sigrun (Corner), Geirskogul (Corner), the Beast Tamers (Corner), and the others headed toward her. "And all the players are coming forward." She shifted over to Mist (YYGDM-01) confronting Mist (Corner). "Time to enact your part, Mist." She referred to the immoral one.

(Cue Kill la Kill – Blumenkranz)

Chuckling evilly, Mist (YYGDM-01)'s body became developed in a lime green light. This light formed and shaped into a body. Two black eyes and a devilish-looking grin appeared on this shapely figure's face. This is the essence of Grimhilde (YYGDM-01) surfacing over Mist (YYGDM-01). Mist (YYGDM-01) lifted her right hand as the remnants of Gunnar (YYGDM-01)'s essence absorbed into her green aura.

Upon seeing this, Mist (Corner) froze with shock. Distress and despair etched on her face as she felt Grimhilde (YYGDM-01)'s presence.

"You're not just my counterpart, but you're that universe's Grimhilde!" Mist (Corner) cried out.

"Yes, but not quite. I'm Grimhilde's daughter," Mist (YYGDM-01) revealed. "That soul essence I just absorbed just now? That was my brother."

"Gunnar…" Mist (Corner) muttered. "You used him for your own means?!"

"He served his purpose and has become merged with me," Mist (YYGDM-01) chortled, her voice slightly darkening and maturing as Grimhilde (YYGDM-01) spoke through her. "But enough of him. Allow me to tell you a story. This will take a while so sit tight."

"Fat chance, bitch!" Mist (Corner) rebelled as she and her partners charged to attack her.

However, Mist (YYGDM-01) raised her right hand and activated a spell that neutralized Mist (Corner), freezing her in place. Mist (Corner)'s partners, too, were frozen in place.

"As I said, this will be a long story, so be a good girl and sit tight," Mist (YYGDM-01) folded her arms and floated over to meet Mist (Corner) face to face.

Despite Mist (Corner) defiantly facing her, Mist (YYGDM-01) was unfazed. She caressed Mist (Corner)'s face and slapped her.

"Once upon a time, there was a bottom-feeding whore named Grimhilde. She was the most feared sorceress of her time," Mist (YYGDM-01) chortled, wearing a fiendish smile. "She crafted hundreds of the most dangerous spells enough to send fear to the Nine Realms. She also experimented with breaching other worlds beyond the Nine Realms. One day, she crafted a spell that allowed her to create a wormhole. Expecting to enter one of the Nine Realms, she accidentally opened a portal into a random realm. Although, it was a happy accident. Unbeknownst to her, she unintentionally traverses this Cornerverse dimension at the time of the Norse era's beginnings." She placed both hands on Mist (Corner)'s face, sending hers and Grimhilde (YYGDM-01)'s dark magic through the Erinye's body. "During her time in this Cornerverse, she decided to leave her mark by creating a clone of herself, not only giving this Grimhilde life but leaving her to become and develop her own individuality. The witch then departed and returned to her home dimension, leaving her clone to enact and execute her own plans."

Mist (Corner) felt an uncomfortable warmth flowing through her body. Mist (YYGDM-01)'s dark magic spread inside Mist (Corner) and slowly transformed her physiology from within. Mist (YYGDM-01) then tapped into a source inside Mist (Corner). This source seemed to be a part of Mist (Corner) without her prior knowledge.

"Grimhilde's clone became the Cornerverse's Grimhilde. Like the original Grimhilde, the clone met a similar fate and was defeated by Freya's team. However, before her demise, she conceived two children with Giuki: Gudrun and Gunnar. However, only one of these two children received the bulk of her mother's essence. That was Gudrun, who was blessed and cursed with her mother's inheritance. Refusing to accept this, Gudrun wanted to be a normal girl, but Grimhilde abused her daughter and molded her into a near mirror image of herself. That girl grew up into the Erinye called Mist. And she just happens to be you, my dear." Mist (YYGDM-01) cackled as she continued infusing Mist (Corner)'s body with corrupt energy. "Right now I'm activating the shard that I left with my clone. She passed my seed over to you so that one day should we ever have our fated meeting, that shard will activate and you'll awake into my sleeper agent."

Mist (Corner) screamed in excruciating pain as Grimhilde (YYGDM-01)'s magic revived the shard. The shard reacted to Grimhilde (YYGDM-01)'s power. This activation leads to a black aura spreading over Mist (Corner)'s body.

"Yes, I know that was probably the most convoluted origin story for you, my dear Gudrun. If you're able to wrap your mind around it, then good. Because in the end, you're sorta like my granddaughter."

Mist (Corner) screamed in a horrific manner as the black aura spread like the Venom symbiote possessing its host.

"Try to deny it, but you know it's true. Now I've activated my seed, my inheritance to you! Awaken, granddaughter, and embrace who you really are! My sleeper agent!"

The last trace of pain in Mist (Corner)'s eyes faded away and was replaced with a lifeless zombie-like trance.

As the dark aura is cleared, the controlled Mist (Corner) gains a shadow appearance, which is similar to Ashi's corrupted demon form from Samurai Jack. Her skin is dark olive green, is faceless without a mouth except for white circular eyes, long white hair, flaming light purple revealing armor, and flaming light purple wings. She is called the Immoral Erinye.

Due to the corrupted darkness, Eikthyrnir and Gullinbursti are forced to be ejected out of Mist (Corner) as they are transferred to Brunhilde (Corner) for safety.

Brunhilde (Corner) was taken aback by Mist (Corner)'s partners coming to her.

"What the hell is going on?! Mist!" Brunhilde (Corner) called out to her rival friend.

"Mist?! What has that other Mist done to her?!" Geirskogul (Corner) cried out.

"This looks bad! Looks like she's turned our Mist to the dark side!" Geiravor exclaimed.

"Sounds kinda cool…" Rota joked before Geiravor and Geirskogul (Corner) silenced her with glares. "Aw, I was just joking around! Shit, lighten up!"

"Hardly the time to be joking around," Gondul (Corner) shuddered, sensing Mist (Corner)'s awakening into the Immoral Erinye.

Witnessing Mist (Corner)'s conversion thanks to Mist & Grimhilde (YYGDM-01)'s contingency, Quedesha was impressed with the end results.

"Well done, Grimhilde," Quedesha remarked. "Perhaps you aren't as worthless as I once thought you. You've done well and possibly earned a promotion within our organization."

"ADORA!" Brunhilde (Corner) once again called to her but instead used her civilian name.

The Immoral Erinye slowly shifted toward the Valkyries (Corner), Erinyes (Corner), and company. She didn't respond. Instead, her eyes glowed with lime green light.

Outer Chambers/Dimension: Yog-Sothoth's Realm

(Cue Castlevania Judgment – Dance of Illusions)

Shu and Gai charged into Saitou, attempting to double-team him. Saitou caught their swords and knocked them back with his Saint Light aura. Yusuke and Shaka jumped Saitou from behind. The two Spirit Detectives fired off dual Spirit Gun shots. Saitou dodged the spirit attacks and swung his right arm forward, sending an immense force that swept Yusuke and Shaka back.

As Genesis Inori prepared to hit Saitou with crystals, Kyubey jumped down and mounted her face. Inori tried to pull Kyubey off, who attempted to smother Inori and obstruct her plain sight view.

"Hey, ya backstabbing jerk! Get off my sis's face!" Mana quickly yanked Kyubey off Inori and tossed him aside. "You ok, Inori?"

"Yeah, thanks."

"Ok, time for me to get serious!" Mana declared as a pink light formed over her. Her regular clothing was replaced with a short black dress that looks like Inori's glowing orange suit alongside two crystallized flowers. Red threads formed on her arms, legs, and chest. Crude purple wing crystals shaped like a tiara formed on her left side. Purple crystal shoulder spike pads formed on her shoulders. She transformed into Apocalypse Mana.

Kyubey slowly stirred. As he tried to escape like a thief, Apocalypse Mana pinned the Incubator under her barefoot.

"Going somewhere, you little shit?" Apocalypse Mana smirked coolly. She formed a crystal in her right hand and shoved it through Kyubey, killing him.

"Sorry, but you can't get rid of me that easily," Kyubey's familiar voice chimed in.

Genesis Inori and Apocalypse Mana looked up as another Kyubey appeared on a chamber wall. His lifeless red eyes scanned the other battles taking place.

"He's going to be more trouble than he's worth," Genesis Inori said.

"So, what? I'll just keep killing the jerk until he concedes to me!" Apocalypse Mana tossed a barrage of crystals at Kyubey, who hopped up and bounced around the chamber. "Man this is annoying!"

Meanwhile, Hiei gathered dark flames and imbued it in his sword. He attempted to cut Saitou with his Sword of the Darkness Flame. Having transformed into Yoko Kurama, the silver-maned warrior aided Hiei and summoned a man-eating plant to devour Saitou. Saitou unleashed his Saint Light aura, neutralizing Hiei and Yoko Kurama's attacks. He swiftly attacked and took down both demons.

Max rushed Saitou and attacked him with a flurry of punches. As Max kept Saitou occupied, the others were given time to recover. As Max and Saitou locked, the former's blue aura and Saitou's Saint Light clashed against the other. Max jumped up and kicked Saitou's face, sending him flying back As Max ran up at him, Saitou launched a barrage of Ki energy orbs with his right foot.

Max dodged the incoming orbs and batted a few away. He phased out and reappeared in front of Saitou, catching the Imaginalist off guard. Max swiftly punched Saitou's gut and then uppercut him into the ceiling. Saitou crashed into the ceiling.

"Well done, Max. Indeed, you're a formidable opponent! Keep it up! Bring me pain, Max!" Saitou yelled out as if he were gleefully being beaten by Max.

Channeling blue ki into his right hand, Max flew into Saitou. He aimed for another gut crunching blow, but Saitou barely managed to slip away and unleashed an energy projection. This attack came in the form of a wave that repelled Max and sent him crashing to the ground. Saitou flew down sent another barrage of energy balls that pummeled him.

"MAX!" Keke cried out as she, WarAngemon, Ultima X, and Zordiark X ran at him, but were quickly brushed away by Saitou's aura.

Max rolled away and prepared to make his next move. He cupped his hands and fired a quick Tsunami Wave. In response to the energy wave, Saitou readily formed a purple energy ba and kicked it into Max's wave. The two attacks canceled each other out.

Saitou and Max ran into each other and unloaded with fast-paced kicks and punches. Saitou landed a kick to Max's head, but Max managed to hit Saitou's stomach. The two warriors were knocked away and crashed into the nearest cavern walls. Saitou recovered first and eyed Max's direction.

"Wait for me, Max. You and I are going to open that tunnel together using your energies," Saitou stated as he purposefully walked toward him.

Watching each member being taken down, Celesta X had enough.

No, I can't… no, I won't stand by any longer! She closed her eyes and tapped into Homeostasis' powers within her. She started to flashback to her training with Kensuke/Dramon X, who took her in for private training. She recalled it was her most grueling and physically abusive she ever endured. Kensuke lent her a portion of his own Ascendant God energy, which bonded with her Ascendant and Homeostasis energies. With all three powers now instilled to her, her body would constantly reject and react by nearly destroying Kari's body, pushing to her absolute brink to near death.

After a whole day of torture, Kari's body finally accepted the Ascendant God-like essence. And as a result, this allowed her to tap into a form beyond Mystic. Her mortal body, coupled with Homeostasis' essence, ascended into a divine body.

It's time I put that new power I've been meaning to use! Now is the best time! Celesta X mentally thought.

Celesta X's body became consumed by a white aura. This white aura converted to pure silver and gold. Once the silver and gold light bathed over her, her dramatic transformation was complete. Her outward appearance and clothing changed dramatically. She wore an ankle-length white gi with some lined patterns. Her outfit now has long, wide sleeves. Two long, flowing golden ribbons tied at her back. On her chest is an embellished Crest of Light emblem. Her hair became snow white. A broadsword, her D-Sword, was seen hanging on her left hip. The Bearer of Light at last unlocked her Ascendant God form: Celesta X Holy Mode.

To her friends, this was their first time seeing it. Needless to say, it marveled them. Even Max and Saitou ceased their fight to witness the new Ascendant God awakening.

"Aunt Kari, well done." Max smiled with satisfaction. "Now you're able to control your power better. Thank Kensuke for that."

"This light permeating from this woman. Her light is… almost as divine and strong as my own!" Saitou was mesmerized by Celesta X Holy Mode's power.

"Yeah! Let him have it, Kari!" Ultima X cheered her on.

WarAngemon nodded approvingly. "Take him down."

Celesta X Holy Mode focused her sights on Saitou. "Max, you might want to move."

"Sure," Max hopped away, leaving Saitou to face down Celesta X HM.

"You think your light can match my Saint Light aura? Try your worst," Saitou responded to the new power, enveloping his golden sheen all over him.

"I can only hold this form for a short time, but I'll make this count!" Celesta X HM raised her D-Sword and took on a swordswoman stance.

"Your move, light wielder."

With eyes glowing intensely, Celesta X HM responded with a mix of hers and Homeostasis' voices. "After you."

With that, Celesta X HM and Saitou simultaneously attacked each other. Saitou sent a wave of his Saint Light to engulf and overpower Celesta X HM. However, Celesta X HM's D-Sword hacked and slashed through his Saint Light aura like a wet paper towel.

"WHAT?!" Saitou blanched in shock as Celesta X HM not only cut through his defenses but landed a critical strike to his body. He watched as she cut into his body and gave him a gaping chest wound.

Celesta X HM's D-Sword unleashed an immense white energy wave that engulfed Saitou. Her Hikari Purgatorial Maelstrom further damaged Saitou, leaving him gravely injured but not yet slain.

Saitou landed on his feet while struggling to maintain his Saint Light aura. He glanced over and saw Celesta X HM readying her D-Sword for another strike.

"Well done wounding me, woman… I concede your light is superior, but…" Saitou forged a purple sphere and kicked it her way. "Your light burns out quicker than mine!"

Preparing to block the incoming sphere, Celesta X HM caught it with her D-Sword and sliced it in two. This gave Saitou enough time to cut the gap between them. He was already right in her face. He disarmed Celesta X HM and prepared to kick her. Celesta X HM seized Saitou's leg and tossed him aside, slamming him into a chamber wall.

"YES!" Ultima X cheered for his former crush.

"Nicely done, Kari," Max nodded in approval. "You're back to your prime."

As Celesta X HM turned toward Saitou, she cupped her hands together and prepared to blast him with a Holy Beam. As Saitou came to, Celesta X HM flew up to meet him and unleashed an immense white beam of light. Her Super Holy Beam collided with Saitou and slammed him hard into a wall. Saitou buckled under the force of Celesta X HM's attack and fell to the ground. He gingerly tried standing but was critically injured.

"You've got him, Kari! Finish him off!" WarAngemon yelled out encouraging her.

"C'mon! You've got him!" Ultima X cheered her on.

Celesta X HM raised a hand and focused on building up power to finish him off. However, her limit came and Celesta X fell out of her Holy Mode state. This alarmed the others.

"No, she's hit her limit! Those last attacks took a lot out of her!" WarAngemon exclaimed.

"Actually, this is good! She wounded him for us!" Max said.

"Then, we'll have to resort to Meta-Fusion!" Zordiark X declared.

"Good idea!" Ultima X added.

"Kari, let's fuse!" WarAngemon flew over to her.

Keke grabbed Max's hand. "C'mon, you and me!"

"Wait, hold on…!" Max called out as Keke quickly dragged him to her.

As he recovered, Saitou walked forward critically hurt, but he had enough Saint Light reserves to heal himself.

Three beacons of light flared before Saitou's eyes. He watched as the Meta-Fusion dances were completed.

"Yeah! This is gonna be so awesome!" Gojiramon exclaimed gleefully. "Check it out, Mothramon, our partners are about to fuse!"

"Tell me, are they gonna…" Kuwabara gawked.

"Yes, and this happened to us before when Aoshi's Moon Heart Crystal granted us the power to merge," Yoko Kurama reminded him.

"That's right! I remember that!" Shaka recalled that one instance.

Yusuke laughed genuinely. "Yeah, that was cool, wasn't it?!"

Hiei mumbled. "Don't remind me. I fused with that woman Mizuno after all."

Shu turned to Gai. "Well? What do you think?"

Gai sweatdropped. "No, we're never doing that."

Apocalypse Mana watched while choking Kyubey. "Hey, we should do a dance like that, Gai! Or, maybe we could fuse, Inori?"

Inori smiled nervously. "Um, really? Us?"

Upon seeing the Ascendants about to fuse, Saitou decided to take drastic action. He ran up to interrupt Max and Keke's fusion, but Gojiramon stepped in front of him.

"Don't interrupt their fusion, jerk! You want them? You go through me!" Gojiramon snarled as he lunged at Saitou and fired an Atomic Flame at him.

Saitou easily brushed away Gojiramon's flames and went to kick the Kaijuu Rookie. Then, Max's Digivice glowed with life.

"Let him have it, Gojiramon! Show him you're the king!" Max called out as he and Keke went to perform their Meta-Fusion.

As Gojiramon evolved into Godzillamon, the titanic dinosaur rushed Saitou and swung his mighty tail. Saitou jumped up and evaded Godzillamon's tail. Bellowing angrily, Godzillamon swiped at the and knocked Saitou away, sending him crashing into the ground. Godzillamon raised a foot over to crush Saitou like an insect. Saitou quickly unleashed his Saint Light aura to repel the Kaijuu Digimon back.

Saitou sprang up and saw Mothramon heading his way. He tossed a few Saint Light energy waves to neutralize and push Mothramon back. He turned as the Shu and Gai took turns slicing at him with their Void swords. Saitou casually dodged their attacks. He kicked Shu back and elbowed Gai's face. The Spirit Detectives immediately took on Saitou.

"You remember how the dance went, Keke?" Max asked her nervously, fearing for the worst case scenario.

"Yeah, yeah, I've seen it done before when Tai and Matt did it," Keke reassured him.

"Ok, are the rest of you ready?!" Max turned to Celesta X, WarAngemon, Ultima X, and Zordiark X.

The other four Ascendants nodded in response.

"Ok! Let's do this!" Max called out.

"Fuuuuu-sion! Ha!"

Max and Keke performed the Meta-Fusion dance technique with perfect synchronization. Likewise, Celesta X & WarAngemon and Ultima X & Zordiark X did the same with no flubs.

Right in the middle of fighting the Spirit Detectives, Saitou turned and saw three glowing beacons of golden light flashing before his eyes.

"Damn it all," Saitou scowled.

The Spirit Detectives and Shu & Gai's group were flabbergasted with what they saw.

Celesta X and WarAngemon fused into WarCelesta X, a female Ascendant with a mix of Kari and TK's hair. She now has TK's eyes and Kari's face. She wore baggy white pants, yellow shoes, and a black vest coupled with a sports bra and yellow shoulder paddings. She immediately powered up into Mystic state.

Ultima X and Zordiark X fused into Ultimark X, who had a mix of Davis and Ken's hair colors. He has Ken's eyes and Davis' face. He wore a similar Meta-Fusion wardrobe, except no sports bra to cover his chest. He powered up into a full Ascendant state.

Finally, Max and Keke fused into Maxeke, a male Ascendant with a mix of Max's dark brown hair and Keke's strawberry blonde hair. He had Keke's eyes and Max's face. He powered up into Super Ascendant Blue state.

"Our fusions are complete. I hope you're ready for a beating, Saitou!" Maxeke threatened in a voice mix of Max and Keke's.

Godzillamon and Mothramon let out loud roars as their way of approving their partners' successful merger.

"Hell yeah! This is sweet!" Yusuke hollered.

"Perhaps we should fuse, too, Hiei?" Yoko Kurama teased him.

"I'd rather be caught dead than perform those ballet moves!" Hiei angrily spat.

"Hey, ballet is one of the best forms of physical training!" Shaka added.

"Don't bother with him, Yui. He just doesn't get real men can dance and wear tights," Kuwabara snubbed at Hiei.

Overhearing their conversation, Mana scoffed. "That jerk. Don't you go diss ballet."

Shu turned to Gai. "Still want to try…?

Gai plainly replied. "No."

The three Meta-Fused Ascendants surrounded Saitou. Having assessed their individual powers, the Imaginalist smirked and dropped his hands.

"It's over, Saitou. Surrender now and help us take down your group's operation or end here," Maxeke demanded compliance from the Imaginalist.

Saitou smirked. "...sorry, but I can't do that." In one last act of defiance, he forged a purple orb in his hands and split it into three. He kicked the three orbs at the Meta-Fused warriors. They casually backhanded Saitou's blasts.

"That's unfortunate," Maxeke frowned.

"So, this is how it ends…" Saitou muttered, seemingly ready to accept his fate. "Then so be it."

"Farewell, Saitou." Maxeke declared as he cupped his hands together and unleashed a Super Tsunami Wave.

Likewise, WarCelesta X and Ultimark X released their attacks. WarCelesta X fired off her Seraphi Beam. Ultimark X unleashed his Ultima Wave.

The three attacks converged into a single combined blast and slammed head-on with Saitou, who was thrown back. His face didn't exude any fear of defeat. A tiny smirk curved on the man's features. His entire life flashed before his eyes, including his memories with his world's Max.

(End theme)

Saitou could muttered, "Looks like I'll be joining you, Deathmon and Arkadimon. It was good to see you again Max... even if you aren't the same one I knew..."

His last words were then snuffed out as the beam eradicated him. Nothing was left of Soma Saitou.

"Yeah! Take that, Jr.!" Yusuke spat out.

"Whew, we managed to survive that," Shu sighed with relief.

"But no doubt we still have some ways to go," Gai reminded them. "We have to find our way out of the chamber and regroup with the others."

"Hey, I bagged us a traitor in our mists!" Apocalypse Mana said, tying a crystal collar around Kyubey's neck. "No worries, I got him on a leash!"

Genesis Inori nodded. "Let's go find the others. I sense they managed to beat those two monsters."

"Yeah, we sensed it, too," Maxeke said. "And don't worry these fusions will wear off as we're exploring so let's get going!"

The group headed out of the Outer Chamber to reconvene with Sigrun and Gondul's group.

Inner Chambers/Dimension: Yog-Sothoth's Realm

(Cue Pokemon D/P Remix: Giratina – PokeRemixStudio)

Likewise in the Inner Chambers, Pluto and Volodramon's group are fighting R. Homura.

Much like Saitou, R. Homura was proving to be more than a team wrecker. However, unlike Saitou, she was faring better.

Homura fired off multiple magic rounds at R. Homura, who quickly stopped and sliced them up with her Singer's and Dancer's dual swords. She quickly flew right into Homura and slashed at her. Homura barely dodged getting bisected by R. Homura, who kicked Homura away.

"Pity your reaction times are pitiful compared to me, Homura Akemi," R. Homura demoralized her. "With the years of pained experience and power I've received, I've hardened himself into a ruthless warrior. I've struck down every single foe that's dared to challenge my authority!"

Pluto chastised her. "You're no better than a dictator in your world. You couldn't save it because you lost the trust of your friends there."

"What do you know, Time Guardian? Your counterpart there never dared to challenge me since she knew her place."

"But I am not her, Homura," Pluto rebuked R. Homura. "If I must defeat you to prevent you from opening these gates, so be it." She flew toward R. Homura and drove her Garnet Staff into R. Homura.

R. Homura instinctively stopped Pluto's staff with her dual swords. Two black angelic wings formed from her back. These wings flapped hard, sending a powerful gale force that knocked Pluto away.

"Pluto!" Volodramon jumped up catching her.

"That's it!" Venus declared as she flung her Venus Love Me Chain. Attempting to ensnare R. Homura, the Rebellious Witch sliced the chains in two.

"Is that all you have, Senshi of Love?"

"Not even close!" Venus defied R. Homura. She took to the air and unleashed a barrage of Crescent Beams.

R. Homura crossed her swords, blocking the beams. R. Homura prepared to attack, but Saturn intervened and summoned her Silence Wall, protecting her and her allies from R. Homura's attacks.

"Go now!" Saturn beckoned Skogul (Corner) to save Ford (Story), Jessica, and Yog.

Nodding, Skogul (Corner) glided over to Ford (Story) and Jessica's prisons. Carmen (Corner), Carmen, and Nick helped Skogul (Corner) break open their seals.

Seeing this, R. Homura sent a cross-slash attack with her Singer's and Dancer's Swords.

Witnessing this, Volodramon took a chance and threw himself into R. Homura's attack. He was quickly felled by R. Homura, but this allowed Skogul (Corner) and the others to free Ford (Story), Jessica, and Yog. Of the three, Yog was still out of it as most of his energy was drained to accelerate the doorway's opening to this unknown realm R. Homura and the Imaginalists alluded to.

"Oh my god, thank you!" Jessica frantically cried out, pulling Skogul (Corner) into a hug.

"You're welcome," Skogul (Corner) hugged back. "I just couldn't sit by letting other versions of me and Ford fall into evil hands."

Ford (Story) rubbed his neck. "Ow, it was cramped in there." He looked up and stared Skogul (Corner) down. "Wow, you almost look like her."

"Well, except the design of my outfit is slightly different," Jessica assessed. "But, hey who am I judge?"

Skogul (Corner) patted Jessica's shoulder. "It's time to suit up and fight. Let's see what you're made of, immature me."

Jessica smirked. "Sure." With that, she invoked her Valkyrie Maidens transformation and became Skogul.

Carmen commented. "See? That's my Jessica."

Carmen (Corner) added. "Yeah, but let's see how she compares to my Lady Skogul."

Nick pumped his fist up, cheering them both. "Dudes, we have two Jessicas fighting on our side. I bet that crazy dark magical girl is getting scared now!"

Overhearing Nick's outburst, R. Homura chuckled darkly in amusement. "Not really, little boy, but nice try." She wasted no time and flew toward the Skogul duo.

R. Homura slashed at Skogul first, but Skogul (Corner) defended her younger counterpart. Skogul (Corner) went for a roundhouse kick, but R. Homura dodged her attacker's blow.

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Skogul (Corner) hounded Skogul. "A little assist here!"

Skogul blanked for a moment but quickly snapped back to reality.

"Out of the way!" R. Homura slashed at Skogul (Corner).

Suddenly, Skogul summoned a spell circle between R. Homura's attack and Skogul (Corner). R. Homura's swords bounced off Skogul's spell seal. R. Homura pivoted over to Skogul with a miffed look.

"Ah, so you rely on defense and counterspells," Skogul (Corner) said.

"And you rely on physical attacks. We're the same, but completely opposite," Skogul realized.

"Duh," Skogul (Corner) rolled her eyes.

"Wow, that Skogul can fight hand-to-hand combat smoothly!" Ford (Story) commented about Skogul (Corner)'s fighting style, "I can see the YYGDM-01 one never does that and only uses 100% magic. I'd say she fights due to awkwardness and hates getting her hands dirty."

"Tehehehehe. I like where this is going." Geirskogul snickered inside Skogul's head.

This makes Skogul feel peeved by the joke. Oh, you shut up, Geirskogul! Time out for you! She then turned and gave a darkened glare at Ford, making a snide joke. "And you, make a comment like that and I'll age you to dust."

Ford (Story) whistled fearfully, backing off from the scary vibes Skogul gave off. "Sorry…!"

"Whatever, just stay put and let me help my friends." Skogul rolled her eyes as she returned to the battlefield.

Skogul (Corner) observed their interactions. They treat each other much differently than me and my Ford do. These two definitely feel like an awkward high school couple. She noticed their immaturity.

Skogul (Corner) summoned her snowy owl partner, Chilali, to distract R. Homura.

R. Homura scowled while swiping at Chilali with her swords. The snowy owl taunted her with funny faces, attempting to distract her. R. Homura remained resolute with her attacks and kept slashing at him. Chilali flew back to Skogul (Corner).

"Wow, you have a snowy owl for a partner?! Does he have a name?!" Skogul asked her Corner counterpart.

"His name is Chilali."

"Ah! That's the name of our family owl pet! We really are the same!"

Skogul (Corner) sighed at her counterpart's childish response. "But does he talk?"

Skogul ceased her fangirl moment. "Well, no."

"Yo, that psycho magical girl is coming our way again!" Nick warned as he popped open his canteen and sent a water wave toward R. Homura.

R. Homura effortlessly cut through Nick's water blast. However, Nick utilized water bending tricks to pull the water back and wrap itself around R. Homura. The water formed ropes and bound R. Homura.

"Hah! Bet ya didn't see that coming, lady!" Nick boasted tying up the Rebellious Witch. "Never look down on the little people! 'Cause we tend to surprise the Big Bads."

R. Homura struggled to break loose from Nick's water bending trick.

"Great work, Nick! Hold her!" Carmen encouraged him.

"Yep, looks like I stopped the bad guy. Wait 'til I tell Penny that I single-handedly stopped the evil Homura all on my own!" Nick said, tightening the water bondage ropes around R. Homura.

"Take her down now!" Homura declared, taking out a magical RPG. She crouched and readied the magic rocket.

Homura, Dai-Valkyries Venus & Saturn, Skogul (Corner), Skogul, Carmen (Corner), and Carmen attacked R. Homura at once.

Dai-Valkyrie Pluto and Gao Pluto recollected Volodramon, who was recovering from R. Homura's attack.

Suddenly, a purple pillar of light formed over R. Homura, breaking her free from Nick's water bondage ropes. Then, R. Homura summons light purple whirlpool-like vortexes from the ground. They are similar to one of Date Masamune (Nioh)'s attacks that used Nurarihyon's watery essence, attempting to suck the group like a vacuum and unleash continuous damage to her opponents. Most of them attempted to move away in vain. However, Pluto & Volodramon dispel the vortexes with their time counterspell.

Seeing this, the agitated R. Homura is about to strike down Pluto & Volodramon with her void swords, but out of the blue to their shock, Ford (Story) jumps in to take the hit to save them both.

"Ford?!" Skogul shouted.

(End theme)

R. Homura's swords slash Ford (Story)'s chest as he fell down to the ground. He is fatally injured, leaving R. Homura most of all shocked by her deed.

"No! Ford, wake up!" Skogul rattled his body and sensed that his life force faded, "FORD!"

There is silence. Skogul (Corner) can only be reminded of Ford (Corner) sacrificing himself to save her from Geirskogul (Corner) during Shinnen, to which now she sees Skogul crying in tears. Skogul took back what she said of being compared to her Corner self. The rest of the heroes like Pluto and Volodramon are simply shock and remain silent. However, they are not enraged since they listened to R. Homura's backstory. She's truly not malicious and had fallen into a tragic figure being forced to commit this act.

Dropping her swords, R. Homura took a step back with her eyes widened. She was beginning to become beside herself. She was beginning to show regret and hesitation.

However, they know that they have the resolve to hold off R. Homura. Wasting no time, Skogul (Corner) slide-changes into the Emerald T. rex, as she gave a loud roar at R. Homura. Skogul looked up and stopped crying. She was flabbergasted upon seeing her counterpart's beastly appearance.

Skogul (Corner) charged and bashed at the unfocused R. Homura, delivering actual damage as the Rebellious Witch hit the ground. R. Homura gets up as her expression becomes slightly unhinged. She counterattacks by recalling her void swords. Skogul (Corner) stomped on the ground, casting temporal shockwaves, forcing R. Homura to jump to evade. This enabled the Emerald T. rex to bite R. Homura's left arm, swinging the Rebellious Witch like a ragdoll. The theropod runs through an eldritch column, dealing some damage to R. Homura.

Skogul sees this as encouragement. While seeing R. Homura striking back to injure Skogul (Corner)'s face and pinning the Emerald T. rex to the ground, Skogul stood up as a green aura glowed over her. Pluto/Volodramon and the others take notice as Skogul powered up to a new form.

Skogul's blond hair gained distinctive streaks of dark green highlights. She also gained native face dark green tattoos on her cheeks. The lower part of her body has an emerald dress with black silhouettes of Huginn & Muninn. Her helmet is replaced by a Native American war bonnet with white & golden feathers and dark green at the end of each tip. Dark green highlights are added to her golden wings. She has become the Emerald Valkyrie.

As R. Homura is about to deal with the killing blow, a magic circle hits the Rebellious Magical Girl. R. Homura took no damage but is surprised to see the YYGDM-01 counterpart of Skogul arriving to save her Corner self.

"I won't give up. I'll fend you off to defend my friends." Skogul declared.

Skogul summoned three large floating magic circles behind her. These frames are shaped like three maiden statues each, totaling nine, and symbolized Heimdall's nine mothers. They are called Heimdall's Circles, a technique exclusive only to Skogul. The Valkyrie readied her fighting stance with her two smaller circles from her hands.

Dimension: DUA-16

(Cue Dragon Ball Super - Goku Black Theme (Unofficial) – EnigmaTNG)

Returning to the Appmon dimension, the final battles of the royale have already begun with various heroes. The rest of the characters such as Shintomon and Gowasmon are on the sidelines watching as audiences.

First; Kaiser X (Blue), Super Angemon X, Dramon X, Golden Sedna, Golden Orcus, Masaru & ShineGreymon BM, Thomas & MirageGaomon BM, Shoutmon X7, Madoka, and Kirito & Asuna (Corner) are facing Black Gaiamon X.

Kaiser X Blue solitarily squared off with Black Gaiamon X. Kaiser X and Black Gaiamon X exchanged a flurry of punches and kicks. Kaiser X made some direct kicks, but Black Gaiamon X countered them. He grabbed Kaiser X Blue and tossed him around before flinging him far away. Black Gaiamon X floated up into the air.

After dispatching some Black Ascendant clones, Super Angemon X and Dramon X flew at Black Gaiamon X with a fiery fists, but Black Gaiamon X easily blocked them. He crushed them hands, smashed their hands together, and blasted them away. Shoutmon X7 used his mic weapon, while Black Gaiamon X used his Soul Infinity Blade and clashed with him. After a few blows, Black Gaiamon X flew through Shoutmon X7, turning into swirls of rosé light that pounded on and shredded through Shoutmon X7's defenses.

Black Gaiamon X phased behind Shoutmon X7 and lifts his scimitar. Following a few second delays, Shoutmon X7's body erupted into an explosive rosé light. Taiki, Kiriha, and Nene watched in horror as Shoutmon X7 crashed hard. Shoutmon X7 immediately split back into Shoutmon, Greymon, Dorulumon, Mervamon, and Sparrowmon.

"Sparrowmon! Mervamon!" Nene tended to her partners.

"No! Greymon!" Kiriha cried out in shock.

"Beat him down, Taichi and Yamato!" Taiki cheered.

ShineGreymon BM and MirageGaogamon BM took the initiative, firing blasts at Black Gaiamon X. Black Gaiamon X blocked all of them. From out of nowhere, Masaru jumped to punch Black Gaiamon X's face. Black Gaiamon X growled and grabbed Masaru's arm, swinging him around and tossing him at ShineGreymon BM and MirageGaogamon BM. All three are sent crashing to the ground. Black Gaiamon X coolly smiled as he then summoned multiple portals. More swords and blades emerged.

Waving his hand, his Blades of Judgment were launched at his opponents. Madoka, Golden Sedna, and Golden Orcus launched a barrage of light arrows, icicle spears, and black holes to destroy most of the swords. Kirito & Asuna (Corner) helped destroy and block the swords.

"Try as you might, but you are all just wasting your time!" Black Gaiamon X cackled. He then noticed Madoka using her magic to seal a fabric tear. "First you heal that boy and now you wish to close up that tear? You've been a thorn in my side long enough, goddess!"

"Actually…!" Kaiser X Blue chimed in as he instantaneously teleported in front of Black Gaiamon X. He landed a roundhouse kick to Black Gaiamon X's face and knocked him away. "How about just shut up? Like right now?" He dove toward Black Gaiamon X and clashed with him again.

Second; SuperSusanoomon & Super Golden Kirin, Golden Moon, Houou Mars, Yugi, Seto (who summons: Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, and Deep-Eyes White Dragon), Tea (who summons: Dark Magician Girl, Berry Magician Girl, Lemon Magician Girl, Apple Magician Girl, Chocolate Magician Girl, and Kiwi Magician Girl as part of The SepteMagician Girls), Joey, Kyoko, Mami, Golden Varuna, Golden Quaoar, Golden Eris, Golden Ixion, Marty, Larry, Whirusmon, Rumsshimon, and Cusmon are in an air force battle against the Wall of Light.

At the same time, the dark cloud with Zamasmon faces is pouring mouth lasers. Most of the combatants are evading the mouth lasers and firing their attacks at the Wall of Light. The Zamasmon giant demon figure attached to the bottom of the Wall of Light roars and unleashes devastating rock edges from the ground at his opposition, but they evade them and fire some blasts at the figure. The Super Golden Kirin and SuperSusanoomon are already engaging with the bottom demon figure with Houou Mars backing them up with her cosmic flames.

Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, and Deep-Eyes White Dragon fired Burst Stream of Destructions at the middle body of the Wall of Light. One of the Zamasmon figures casts a magical barrier to deflect one of the beams at the heroes. Marty & Larry fight the white tiger head of the Wall of Light. The tiger head fired homing eye beams and a mouth blast, but both Metas dodge with Joey backing up and blocking the beams. Yugi blasted the tiger head with his Dark Magic Attack. The SepteMagician Girls, the Golden Kuipers, Mami, and Kyoko fire their own magic and energy blasts at the Wall of Light's upper body, to which the two Zamasmon figures: a Virgin Mary female and a male sleeping figure try to repel with a holy psychic storm and status decrease abilities. The magical girls repel and cure the status affections.

"ALRIGHT, I'M FINISHING THIS OFF!" Whirusmon yelled.

Wasting no time, Whirusmon charged up a giant white sun sphere from his hands called Whirusmon's Judgment. He throws it at the Wall of Light with every combatant taking cover to not get hit. The sphere engulfed Black Gaiamon X's familiar and completely destroyed it. Indeed, Beerusmon has beaten The Houou ahead in killing his opponent.

"That's how it's done. Let's not delay this pointless fight," Whirusmon scoffed.

"You seem hasty in getting this done, and I'm talking to the Beerusmon inside the fused body, not his advisor," Rumsshimon clarified.

Houou Mars scoffed in the Houou's voice. "I had that, you rash feline."

Whirusmon turned away and smirked. "You already killed that Nyarla fellow, I can't just let you show me up again."

Golden Moon sighed. "Am I sensing competition entitlement between you two? C'mon, now of all times?"

"All that's left is OmegaSyndramon and Zamasmon," Super Golden Kirin addressed in Takato's voice. "We have to get to those areas right now and see if they need help."

"Right then, let's get moving!" Golden Moon declared.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - An Antagonistic Battle)

Third; Silver Brunhilde, Arresterdramon Superior Mode, OmegaArmamon Burst Mode, Kaimodosu X AM, Meryl & Mastemon, BanchoLeomon, Jax, Sonja, BW, Pikkan, Sheila, Daike, Kara, Sam, the D3's Kaijuu Digimon, Yoshi & Rosemon BM, Ikuto & Ravemon Burst Mode, and Obsidian Skuld were deep in their battle against OmegaSyndramon DM.

The rest of Team Xros Heart (led by Tagiru and Yuu) sent their Digimon (Arresterdramon and Armamon) to fight the Shadow Dramon. It didn't take long for BanchoLeomon, the Artificial twins, BW, Pikkan, Daike, Kara, Sam, the Kaijuu Digimon, Sheila, Yoshi & her Rosemon, and Ikuto & Ravemon to join the intense clash.

On behemoth's right side, BanchoLeomon went Burst Mode and unleashed his Burning Bantyo Punch. Pikkan struck OmegaSyndramon DM with his Thunder Flash Attack and Hyper Tornado moves. Sheila used her paralysis threads to no avail. Kaimodosu X repeatedly blasted away at the behemoth's body. Daike launched a barrage of his ghosts and spectacular moves to slow OmegaSyndramon DM down. Kara, Sam, and the Kaijuu Digimon also did their best to slow down the Shadow Dramon.

On the left side, Silver Brunhilde led the charge with her and Obsidian Skuld attacking OmegaSyndramon DM's serpentine body. Arresterdramon SM and OmegaArmamon BM blast away at OmegaSyndramon DM. Rosemon BM and Ravemon BM also landed attacks on the behemoth.

In retaliation, OmegaSyndramon DM fired Doomsday Artilleries, unleashing nuclear missiles at the targets. Most of them evaded as the missiles destroyed parts of the town. Skuld unleashed her chains and ensnared OmegaSyndramon DM, while Brunhilde heats and freezes up the chains causing burn and freeze the Shadow Dramon."MetalSeadramon!" Silver Brunhilde beckoned to her partner, who then responded to his Tamer and transformed into a sphere of glowing silver light. He flew into Brunhilde's hand and transformed into a giant sword of his similar body length. Grabbing her sword, Silver Brunhilde wielded and slashed OmegaSyndramon DM with her God Slayer Blade.

"This is the same move you used to stop Neo Grimhilde with, is it not?!" Skuld asked her, impressed with the immense length of Silver Brunhilde's weapon.

"Sure is!" Silver Brunhilde roared as she swung and slashed OmegaSyndramon DM, striking a critical point in his body.

Brunhilde then yelled out in a commanding tone, "Everyone, fire!"

Skuld scowled, " You don't have to tell me twice!"

Everyone all fired their energy beams at OmegaSyndramon DM, inflicting some major damage. Enraged by these warriors maiming his new body, OmegaSyndramon DM unleashed an explosive wave while freeing himself. This caused critical damage (and nearly killed) most of the combatants. For Daike, it undid his Meta-Fusion, knocking him back to Tike and David.

As the united forces recovered, OmegaSyndramon DM opened his eldritch mouth and was about to unleash a huge red sphere: the Apocalypse Wrath. He fired at them. Silver Brunhilde and Kaimodosu X AM produced a huge barrier, protecting them and their critically injured allies from the apocalyptic blast.

Kaiser X sensed OmegaSyndramon DM's power peak once again. He also felt the others in great distress and ceased his fight with Black Gaiamon X.

"Why have you stopped?!" Black Gaiamon X snarled as he produced another rosé scythe. "Oh, I see, you intend to save those expendable friends of yours."

Kaiser X snarled as he shot up and kicked the scythe out of Black Gaiamon X's hand.

"They're anything but expendable, Zamasmon. Wait here, I'll return and finish this!"

"No, you don't…!" The merged being reached to grab Kaiser X Blue, but the Fuseha warrior vanished with Instant Movement.

"Get back here!" Black Gaiamon X then put his fingers to his forehead. "Heh, then again since I have a copy of Omega X apart of me, I can follow you…!"

"I don't think so!" Dramon X yelled out as he struck Black Gaiamon X with a glancing blow.

However, Black Gaiamon X barely tilted his head and evaded Dramon X. He saw Super Angemon X coming toward him with a barrage of punches. Black Gaiamon X ended up defending against the Ascendants' attacks.

"You won't keep this up, infidels!" Black Gaiamon X snapped as every passing moment his once peace of mind started fracturing.

xxxxx

Then, Kaiser X Blue arrived in time while briefly pausing his fight against Black Gaiamon X.

"Not so fast!" The fused Ascendant announced his presence to everyone.

"All right, Kaiser X!" Brunhilde cheered him on.

"It's about time," Pikkan remarked.

"Most of us have been critically injured by his attacks! Give him the decisive blow!" BanchoLeomon BM called out.

With his eyes glowing red, OmegaSyndramon DM cackled. "I'LL HAVE YOU DESTROYED WITH THE REST OF THEM! MY NEGATIVE ENERGY WILL CONSUME YOU ALL!"

"Yeah, yeah, we heard you all the way over where I was. Your negative energy this, blah blah. I'm just here to finish this!" Kaiser X Blue openly declared.

"HOW DARE YOU MOCK ME, YOU BLUE-HAIRED CRETIN!"

Kaiser X Blue immediately charged up and fired his Final Tsunami Wave, a combination of Metalla X's Final Blaze and Omega X's Tsunami Wave. The beam pushed back the Apocalypse Wrath at OmegaSyndramon DM as the full-powered sphere engulfed the Shadow Dramon. OmegaSyndramon DM let a final roar as the last Shadow Dramon was completely obliterated.

Finally breaking loose from Super Angemon X and Dramon X, Black Gaiamon X used Instant Movement to teleport over to Kaiser X Blue's location. He saw the remains of the Shadow Dramon scatter away as the Digicore pieces hit the ground.

Black Gaiamon X saw this and scoffed, "Never let a monster corrupted by mortal wishes to do a divine god's job. As expected, he was expendable."

"I see that's how you treat and value your minions." Kaiser X Blue glared at his opponent.

"Let's return to me personally destroying you!" Black Gaiamon X roared.

Determined to cleanse everything around him, Black Gaiamon X charged up a huge sun-like sphere called the Holy Wrath.

"Kneel to your god!" Black Gaiamon X shouted, throwing the Holy Wrath at Kaiser X Blue.

As soon as they arrived, Super Angemon X and Dramon X quickly intervened and combined energy beams. They blasted and pushed away at the Holy Wrath. Black Gaiamon X yelled and pushed his sphere, but Super Angemon X and Dramon X pushed the Holy Wrath further until it went flying back at Black Gaiamon X. Black Gaiamon X evaded as the Holy Wrath pushed up to the atmosphere and exploded. Black Gaiamon X turned to see Kaiser X Blue powering up and combining with a crimson Fury Blitz aura. The fused Ascendant quickly flew toward Black Gaiamon X and punched him straight into the ground. The impact fall shattered the merged being's glowing halo into pieces. Then, he used Instant Movement to teleport near Black Gaiamon X and decked him again. This time Kaiser X sent him flying into the air.

Black Gaiamon X halted his flight upward and cackled. "Yes, you need Fuseha earrings to fight me with! It's laughable you mortals will always try to emulate the divine! Why is that? Is it because we gods are wondrous? Are you coveting our undeniable beauty? It's so tragic! This strategy is guaranteed to fail. Your actions will always be marred by si-!"

Wham!

Kaiser X Blue caught him with a punch to the face. After punching him, the Fuseha warrior kicked him away.

"You left yourself wide open, dumbass! Now, come get you some! We're tired of hearing you preach!" Kaiser X Blue beckoned him with a wave.

"I JUST WANT YOU DEAD!" Black Gaiamon X roared as he flew into a rage and threw a punch packed with immense force.

As Kaiser X Blue saw a shockwave being thrown his way, he dodged, but Black Gaiamon X hastily rocketed forward and tackled him through several buildings. Black Gaiamon X and Kaiser X Blue then unleashed a flurry of rapid punches and kicks. Kaiser X kicked him hard a few times and slammed him hard into the ground. He had Black Gaiamon X pinned face first to the ground.

"Ah, what's wrong?! Your divine power isn't looking so glorious now, is it?!"

"REPENT FOR YOUR ARROGANCE!" Black Gaiamon X fired eye beams and forcefully blasted Kaiser X Blue away.

The blue-haired Ascendant narrowly dodged the merged being's explosive blasts. Kaiser X Blue and Black Gaiamon X quickly clashed head on-on. As they threw their rights fists, their knuckles collided as an explosive aura of white light flashed around them. A Zamasmon face formed from Black Gaiamon X's aura and collided with Kaiser X Blue's Omegamon aura. Black Gaiamon X landed a gut punch and kicked him down. Black Gaiamon X forged a rosé hand blade and rushed to stab Kaiser X Blue with it, but Kaiser X Blue sprang up and slashed him with his Spirit Sword.

Looking over the cut across his chest, the merged being seethed with fury. "Damn you…!" Black Gaiamon X turned and received a glancing punch.

Kaiser X Blue charged up his ultimate attack. "Let's how you handle this! The move that destroyed your dragon servant!" Kaiser X Blue roared.

Kaiser X Blue unleashed his Final Tsunami Wave at Black Gaiamon X. The powerful attack collided with and dealt damage to the Renegade Guardian. Smoke formed following the end result blast.

"You think this is enough?!" Black Gaiamon X snarled as he flew up above the smoke. "I won't be defeated so easily like that dragon!"

"We'll see about that!" Kaiser X Blue retorted, as he took to the air and floated over Black Gaiamon X.

Seeing Kaiser X Blue's fist glowing with power, Black Gaiamon X's eyes widened. "Augh!"

"Time to die!" Kaiser X Blue bellowed ready to deliver the finishing blow…

Poof.

….only that the fusion immediately wore off much sooner than expected. This was the end result of the immense power from Kaiser X's Blue form and Fury Blitz combination. This wasted his power and shortened the time limit. As a result of this, the fused warrior split back into Omega X and Metalla X. Needless to say, the heroes and audiences, especially Shintomon and Gowasmon, were horrified.

"No way-!" Omega X cried out before Black Gaiamon X punched him in the chest.

Metalla X roared, preparing to attack, only to be karate chopped by Black Gaiamon X. Both Ascendants crashed to the ground.

"FATHER!" Super Angemon X called out.

Dramon X, too, followed Super Angemon X. "But, that earring fusion was supposed to be limitless? What happened there?!"

Recovering from their attack, Black Gaiamon X floated above in the sky with a sinister smirk. The beaten heroes are scattered and laying after having fought Zamasmon's forces. Some like the Ascendant Triad and Brunhilde scornfully glared at the dark messiah. Despite his demise, OmegaSyndramon DM's negative energy had taken its toll on most of the heroes. The negative energy was enough to affect The Super Golden Kirin and SuperSusanoomon. Both entities split back to the Beast Tamers and Legendary Warriors. Others were worn out and tired from evading the Zamasmon cloud's lasers and the Black Ascendant clones. Only a few remained standing: Moon, Houou Mars, and Madoka.

After dealing with the Black Ascendant clones, Golden Sedna and her group descended being worn out from their fight. Golden Sedna and Golden Orcus collapsed and lost their golden forms. Super Angemon X and Dramon X went to collect them.

"Karin!" Angemon X and Dramon X yelled out.

"We held them off as much as we could," Sedna replied in exhaustion.

"I wish these gold forms weren't so limiting," Orcus said, putting a hand to Dramon X's face.

"It's ok. You and the others beat those clones," Dramon X grasped Orcus's hand.

"They were tough," Kirito (Corner) added while carrying Asuna (Corner).

Black Gaiamon X cackled. "So, this is how you've been reduced to? Expected from mortals."

"Oh, shut up! We've heard enough out of you!" Dramon X snapped.

"You just love hearing yourself talk about justice this and hating mortals. It's getting old, Zamasmon," Omega X retorted as he barely stood to fight.

"We're not beaten not, Zamasmon," Moon adamantly said.

"Neither am I and the Houou," Houou Mars declared as she and Moon held hands.

"Some of us are still able to fight!" Madoka shouted.

On the other hand, Black Gaiamon X looked down at his beaten enemies, like God bringing divine punishment to the mere mortals.

"I'm done playing with you mortal ingrates. Now to purge all of you!" Black Gaiamon X declared. "This time, no survivors in this realm!"

The Chakravartin then summoned three colossal portals behind him. Coming out of the portals are heads of draconic versions of Black Omega X, Angemon X, and Dramon X. The heads also have traits of the Pokémon Creation Trio and correlated with them. The heads emerged. Black Omega X came out like Giratina, Black Angemon X being Dialga, and Black Dramon X being Palkia. Black Gaiamon X acted as their Arceus.

"Yes, Black Dramon X's power is finally coursing through me. Now I have the complete power to initiate the final phase. Behold, the Gates of (Z)amas. This will be your demise. Behold, the beginning of the Zero Dawn Plan!"

The extraordinary power from the Gates of (Z)amas would be enough to wipe out all of life and raze the entire planet's surface.

A new world order was here for Zamasmon's Zero Dawn.

"ALL SHALL BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE!" Black Gaiamon X divinely shouted.

The Gates of (Z)amas fired energy beams from their mouths. These cosmic beams were on collision course with the heroes and obliterate them for good.

Moon invoked her Silver Crystal and Houou Mars summoned the Houou's cosmic flames to shield everyone. Madoka prepared to defend everyone.

However...

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Break in The Battle)

One stood in the way of her loved ones.

One brave and innocent soul selflessly put herself above the others, including her mother, father, uncle, her best friends, and the others.

Sedna, Omega X, Angemon X, Dramon X, Metalla X (and Yamato), Meryl, and the others watched in horror.

"ATHENA!" They cried in unison.

Having come out of her hiding place, Athena X stood in the way of Black Gaiamon X's ultimate attack. Tears formed in her eyes. A smile formed on her innocent face. She slowly turned, smiling at her loved ones.

"Athena! PinkPatamon! No!" Meryl pleaded. As she tried to stop her, Meryl's partners, Angewomon and LadyDevimon, held her back. "No! NO! ATHENA! PINKPATAMON!"

Sedna gasped in horror and reached for Athena X.

"Don't worry. I'm gonna save us," Athena X maintained her resolve behind a smile. "I love you all."

"ATHENA!" Sedna screamed.

Whoosh!

The attack cut straight forward and obliterated all in its wake, including Athena X. The child vanished behind a wall of light, erased before everyone's eyes.

It happened so suddenly. It came and went quicker than anyone can anticipate.

She was gone.

Sedna's mental state shattered as she collapsed. Moon and Houou Mars held onto Sedna, crying with her.

Omega X, Angemon X, and Dramon X shifted upward, angrily eyeing the Chakravartin. Black Gaiamon X expressed no sympathy for the tragedy. In his view, the child was nothing more than a mortal insect in the way of divine punishment.

"Don't mourn the child. You shall all join her soon."

Next chapter: Rebellious Hope vs. Rebellious Despair

xxxxx

Ford1114's A/N: Wow that is quite the shocker.

The Shadow Dramons, Imperfect Virus, and Nyarla are all defeated. That leaves Zamasmon to become Black Gaiamon X.

The fights against R. Homura and Saitou, Saitou is defeated, Ford (Story) sacrifices himself to stop R. Homura's attack, yet the heroes never give up their resolve.

The Valkyries (YYGDM-01) have received their titled forms for the first time. Before that, during the final battle against Dragon-Loki, Brunhilde as the Silver Valkyrie gave her maidens a temporary boost. After which is gone, some parts of the power is left intact for the other Valkyries to train and using their will to eventually gain these forms in this arc.

Meanwhile in Corner, the BOT and the Valkyrie Profile villains are defeated, allowing Quedesha to take over the fray. Before that, we get a special preview of Skuld (Corner)'s demon form that tributes Mistress 9 and dear lord Megidramon named Helregina, that will be an advertisement preview shown for First Ragnarok in VA, where this is the same form for Skuld (YYGDM-01) that destroyed Ragnarok. A big surprise is that Corner!Mist alongside her own mother (Corner!Grimhilde) were originated by YYGDM!Mist's creations. It has gone beyond meta and horror levels, that YYGDM!Mist controls her granddaughter against her will to become a humanoid abomination remind of Demon!Ashi.

But, the biggest shock: Athena's death. That's right, the child that represents the legacy of the Ascendants, sacrifices herself to protect her family and friends from Black Gaiamon X. Now things are going beyond personal for the Triad heroes.

The next chapter will be the last one for the Black Rebellion arc.

Kanius' A/N: Yeah this was a packed chapter. (sweatdrops like crazy)

I didn't count on this to be bigger than it needed to be, but with so many players and stakes raised, I couldn't leave any notable battles off screen. Yea a few lesser battles were rushed, but that was our intentional. The ones that mattered (BAT/Zamasmon, BOT/Quedesha, R. Homura, Saitou) could be fleshed out.

So, about that shocking moment that is our cliffhanger. No YYGDM!Pluto and Volodramon to save the day. I'm certain no one saw this twisted outcome coming. Didn't think we'd have the guts to kill off a child character (well I already did that with Tike in Digimon Fusion Kai's Virus arc)? But this child character? Athena? Yeah, all to make Sedna, Dimitri, Kensuke, Tai, and others pissed at Zamasmon and he's getting his next chapter. And going by how went Cornerverse/Intermission: Black Ascendant Royale, you'll know where this is leading.

I think Varuna should be considered an MVP (well outside of Athena's sacrifice). Not only did she give the finishing blow to Black Imperfect Virus, but pretty much took down Tsukuyomimon Death Mode (Orcus version). I'm throwing her two big bones after failing to win any tournaments in my fics. And yes, by this point she's the full-time wielder of Mjolnir. Don't worry for those following Valkyrie Advent, the next couple of chapters will show how Varuna receives Mjolnir from Sailor Jupiter (psst, Jeffrey, it's coming, the gaps are going to be filled soon).

This chapter was Fusions galore. This marks the non-Corner debut of Maxeke, WarCelesta X, Ultimark X, and Whirusmon (which is based off Beerus & Whis' Fusion form). And this also marks the debut of Celesta X Holy Mode, Kari's official Ascendant God mode. Unfortunately I didn't have the time to show her training, but that could be something me and Chaos can discuss for a Gaiden one-shot. Oh well, what's done is done.

More Valkyrie Advent spoilers: The Valkyrie Maidens show off their Titled Forms (Ford1114's words: And Brunhilde is Silver Valkyrie). Expect these to make their proper debuts during the climax of that fic. Just a few chapters away from that happening from where I'm currently at. Very soon, more gaps between Valkyrie Advent and Cross Generations are being filled as I'm planning a big catch-up on the former.

Saitou and his Digimon partners are defeated. This version of my Saitou character is less important than his original counterpart in my previous D-Fusion series. And yes he was based on Shinobu Sensui. Although in this, I'd say the Sensui character becomes split between R. Homura and Saitou. And speaking of R. Homura, she's already starting to crack and reveals she's being used by a higher power against her will. Hmm, who could she be alluding to?

And speaking of character deaths, poor Ford (In-Story version). He dies just like his Corner counterpart and the two Skoguls are already raising hell on R. Homura. Thoughts on the Skogul duo interactions? Yeah, it's clear the YYGDM!Skogul is less mature as evidenced in her meeting with Corner!Skogul.

Cornerverse stuff: The BOT are defeated, but not without taking Corner!Skuld with them. While Corner!Skuld's not dead, she's out of commission for the remainder of the Quedesha conflict. Since we're on the subject on Skuld, yes this is her demon form (her own take on Megidramon and Mistress 9). This is a form that YYGDM!Skuld will show in Valkyrie Advent as it's this exact form that was used to end Ragnarok. So, be on the look out for that in the coming chapters during the First Ragnarok flashbacks.

And the WHAM moment: through convoluted means, Mist (Corner) is the granddaughter of Grimhilde (YYGDM-01). This is all due to Grimhilde (YYGDM-01) entering the Cornerverse via magic means and creating a Grimhilde clone that birthed the Corner versions of Gudrun/Mist and Gunnar. Both Mists are offspring of Grimhilde, but the YYGDM!Mist allows herself to become possessed by the Immoral Witch while Corner!Mist rejects her to be her own individual. Of course, the Immoral Witch planned a contingency just in case and revives her seed within Corner!Mist, who had no prior knowledge of its existence until now. Yeah, it's complicated, but ancient mythological family lines tend to be. So I guess we're following that tradition. It'll become more clear later. And yes, YYGDM!Mist being connected to Grimhilde is another Valkyrie Advent spoiler. That moment will play out during that story's climax.

And like what happened to Ashi during Samurai Jack Season 5, Corner!Mist being the offspring of YYGDM!Grimhilde has been converted into a demonic humanoid called the Immoral Erinye.

These conflicts are about to reach their climax (and will bleed through into the opening of the final arc). One chapter left and this Black Rebellion arc will be behind us. Fingers crossed I can get that chapter out before 2017 ends.

Speaking of X-Mas, this is my gift to you my readers who're still following me to this day. For being my loyal readers, I say: Thank you.

Until then, send a review and Happy Holidays! :D
