Zenomnimon's Palace/Dimension: DF-616

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Instant Kill Battle)

In an effort to save their Omni King, the Digital Gods of Destruction rushed and attacked Zeed X from all sides. Champamon launched himself at Zeed X. Zeed X barely sidestepped the rotund purple cat.

All this was going on, GrandWhismon and the Angels feed Zenomnimon from his prison.

"Welp, fun time's over. Figured it'd end this way," Zeed X sighed while dodging Belmondmon and Sidramon's attacks. As they launched Ki blast, he bounced around them like a ping pong ball.

Quitelamon jumped up and bunt Zeed X, but the anomalous being flew out of his reach. The other Destruction Gods launched destruction blasts to wipe him out. Zeed X spun himself around, knocking away their blasts successfully. The moment he saw Zenomnimon walk out of the confinement, Zeed X snorted.

"Wish I could stick around, but my work here is done," Zeed X forged a portal behind him.

(End theme)

"Running away, coward?! We were just getting started!" Champamon pointed to the anomalous entity.

"Oh no, I had fun playing with you gods, but I have other places to be. And other people to torment," Zeed X casually replied. "Plus, a certain battle with a Rogue Guardian is about to wind down soon. I thought I'd be there to see how it plays out."

GrandWhismon called to him. "We, the Angels, know who you are. You're the mastermind behind the anomalous agents that's been plaguing the Nexus." As he revealed this fact to everyone, the Gods of Destruction were shocked.

"You can't mean…! This jerk is the one?!" Champamon was flabbergasted. "This whole time we've been fighting the mastermind?!"

Belmondmon added. "I knew there was something off about him. He doesn't exude any energy I recognize."

"Vadosmon, is this true?!"

Vadosmon nodded. "My father would never lie, Lord Champamon."

Zenomnimon looked up and pointed to Zeed X. "You've been causing a ton of trouble. Time for you to go."

Zeed X chuckled. "You amuse me, baby god, but I intended to leave. Just know an omniversal war, the likes of which you and the entire Nexus has never seen." His face then morphed into Scar the evil lion. "So, be prepaaaaaared!" His face then turned back to normal. He waved them farewell and hopped through the portal.

The Angels and Gods of Destruction discussed Zeed X's ominous message of an impending 'omniversal war', which could affect the foundations of the Nexus.

"An omniversal war? I don't like the sounds of this," Belmondmon dreaded Zeed X's warning.

"Well, Vadosmon. What does Lord Zenomnimon propose?" Champamon asked her.

Before Vadosmon could respond, GrandWhismon quickly addressed everyone present. "Listen, Gods of Destruction and Angels of all 12 Digiverses! Once Lords Beerusmon, Whismon, Russhimon, and Cusmon return from their escapade, we will have a summit to discuss how to best contend with the anomalous mastermind's declaration of war!"

Champamon sighed. "And we don't even know when my brother and his attendant will return."

Vadosmon replied. "Hopefully soon."

Zenomnimon nodded. "Yes, and all of you will show up, ok?"

The Angels and Gods of Destruction bowed to the Omni King.

"Zeed X, don't think your threat will go unpunished," GrandWhismon muttered.

Marcaritamon turned to Belmondmon. "Perhaps this would be the best time to summon the Digital Pride Troopers."

The clown Destruction God rubbed his chin. "Probably just two of them especially Jirenmon. He'll be our best bet against this entity."

Before leaving with Vadosmon, Champamon looked to endless space above Zenomnimon's palace. Brother, hope you can pull out of whatever you're involved with because all hell's about to break loose in the Nexus. Omni King help us all.

?-?

Emptiness. Blackness. A young Thai American man's body is floating in the darkness. He stares above inside his mindscape.

"Where, where am I?" Ford (Story)'s voice muttered as his soul is then transported to a mysterious and ethereal realm in a flash of white light.

xxxxx

Memoria/Dimension: YYGDM-01

Ford (Story) is in a realm that looks similar to Memoria (Final Fantasy IX) with a mansion that looks similar to the house from Within Temptation's Memories music video. Quietly, Ford (Story) looks around the gateway and sees a medium-size, ostrich-like dinosaur called an Ornithomimus. The reptile turns to the young man and squawks at him.

"What do you want from me?" Ford (Story) curiously asked.

The Ornithomimus ignores his question and sprints away inside, causing Ford to follow it. As the Thai man walks inside the castle area, he wonders why he arrived here. When he got that far ahead, he saw nobody around and the Ornithomimus is nowhere in sight. Until he hears a calm female voice.

"You're here in such a timely manner."

(Cue Within Temptation – Memories)

Ford (Story) turns to see a young woman with long curly straight, auburn-brunette hair, grayish-green eyes, light skin, and wearing a Greek pistachio dress.

"You must be?" Ford (Story) asked.

"Mnemosyne, the Titan goddess of memory, and the mother of the Muses," Mnemosyne answered.

"I see, but I'm curious to know why you invite my soul over here?" Ford (Story) questioned.

"Because seeing you risk your life to save Skogul, the Valkyrie I knew back then, I figured to offer you to be my successor as guardian of memories?" Mnemosyne asked.

"Wait, how did you know about Jessica?" Ford (Story) questioned the mention of the Valkyrie.

Mnemosyne is silent at first but sighs and begins to explain the story.

"A long time ago, I was an old acquaintance of Sailor Pluto. We knew each other and related, and I comforted her when Sailor Charon turned rogue. That all changed when Skogul's existence was brought to us." Mnemosyne explained.

"So that means, you used to be friends with Pluto, but Skogul affected your friendship?" Ford (Story) guessed.

"That's correct." Mnemosyne regretfully answered. "Skogul was Pluto's student. But, because I needed a suitable successor, I desired Skogul to be my successor instead of being Time Guardian. I would have given the power to her without training to the point of being forceful, but she refused, and Pluto of all people defended the Valkyrie with kindness that I myself do not have. When Ragnarok happened and Skogul died, I blamed the Time Guardian for her foolish pride and we had a fallout for a long time. Now that Skogul is reincarnated and I've reflected on my past deeds, I wondered if there's another chance to forgive."

After the memory goddess said that, Ford (Story) cannot believe what he's hearing and begins to show sympathy. He now saw Mnemosyne in a different light.

"I understand. I know that's why when I first came to this dimension in meeting the Triad heroes and Jessica in the first place." Ford (Story) reflected.

"Now that you've learned this, it is why you must help Skogul to find her real destiny. I realize her having Norse bloodlines is not suitable for Memoria. Her future is after all becoming Heimdall's successor. Will you accept?" Mnemosyne sincerely offered.

Ford (Story) genuinely smirks, "Sure, why not? Sounds like it'll be an adventure."

Mnemosyne walks over to Ford (Story) and places her hand on Ford's, channeling mystic power to him. Ford (Story) feels a flow of energy possess him, granting him foresight and hindsight of people's memories. He is overwhelmed at first, but then he pauses and rises to meet Mnemosyne face to face.

"You have chosen wisely. Now, get ready to return." Mnemosyne stated.

"Thank you, Mnemosyne." Ford (Story) appreciated.

A white light washes over Ford (Story) as he is being taken back to inhabit his body.

"Jessica, here I come!" Ford (Story) cried out.

Ford (Story)'s soul vanishes from the realm. He is then returned to his body where he will soon be revived.

"Take care, young Ford. I hope this was a wise decision on my part to atone myself." Mnemosyne muttered.

Arc II: Black Rebellion
Chapter XX: Rebellious Hope vs. Rebellious Despair

xxxxx

Dimension: DUA-16

It was an out-of-turn and shocking event, which sent a visceral impact on Omega X, Angemon X, Sedna, Dramon X, and the others. An innocent and loving member of their group was wiped out before their eyes.

Sailor Sedna and Angemon X witnessed their own child of the future obliterated in front of them. This struck a chord within them. They couldn't believe she was gone.

Dramon X witnessed his own niece disappear. This struck him as hard as it did to Sedna and Angemon X.

Metalla X watched his granddaughter perish, which sparked not only his resolve but Yamato's burning rage.

Omega X's fury went into overdrive as Athena's sacrifice gave him the emotional boost he needed to destroy Black Gaiamon X.

However, Athena Ishida and PinkPatamon didn't perish screaming. They died with smiles etched on their faces. They selflessly sacrificed and put themselves above the others, ensuring that they'd get an emotional boost to continue the hard fight against Black Gaiamon X.

Black Gaiamon X turned away from the spot where he obliterated Athena X. He set his sights on his originally intended targets. His maniacal face conveyed no shame for what he had done. From his point of view, Athena X was merely another mortal insect to be exterminated to foster his new paradise.

"And who shall join that insufferable child next?" Black Gaiamon X queried in a calm tone.

Suddenly, the area where Athena X perished exploded as bundles of white light emerged. Everyone, including Black Gaiamon X, turned toward the source as a big ball of white condensed light emerged. The white ball glowed with life and collided with Madoka.

"Madoka!" Sailor Moon cried out as the white ball's light filled the pink-haired magical girl's body.

"Was that light actually Athena's essence?!" Angemon X exclaimed.

"Athena!" Sedna cried out to the light taking over Madoka.

The Houou telepathically addressed Houou Mars in her mind. 'That light essence is indeed coming from what's left of Athena and using Madoka as a catalyst. Madoka is utilizing Athena's wish to instill us with her power!'

Madoka's eyes and body became white with ethereal light. Upon seeing the light being produced by Madoka, Black Gaiamon X charged at her, only to be swept back by the light surrounding Madoka. Madoka turned and sent concentrated rays of white light toward the heroes.

"Everyone, take Athena's gift to all of you! She wants you all to fight and beat Zamasmon!" Madoka called out, speaking on Athena's behalf.

The Ascendants, the Sailor & Kuiper Senshi, the Digimon, Team Xros Heart, Team DATS, and the others were each hit with these streams of light. Each felt their bodies being renewed with power.

"What's happening here?!" Black Gaiamon X gawked, as a look of alarm formed on his face. His calm exterior faded as each hero glowed with white light. They should be weakened! They should be kneeling to me! It's this woman's doing! No, it's also that meddlesome child! They're bestowing them this untold power!

"This is coming from Athena, guys!" Omega X announced to his friends and colleagues. "She and PinkPatamon are sending their life energies to us!"

Sedna teared up feeling her daughter's Ki flow through her. "Athena… I can feel your presence in me."

With a hand on his chest, Angemon X sensed Athena's life energy resonate within him. "You're giving us all the strength to fight back harder than before."

Dramon X felt Athena's power going through him. "We're not going to let this go to waste." With that, he channeled Athena's power and transferred it to his B.A.X. Digivice. However, something else triggered inside him. His eyes shone with a hint of a silver glare.

Guilkatomon declared. "Damn right! We're not going to give up for Athena!" He rallied Renrukimon, Terryamon, and Inumuramon with him.

Dai-Valkyrie Sailor Moon felt Athena's energy within her and helping empower her Silver Crystal. "We won't let your sacrifice be in vain, little Athena!"

"Of course not, she's giving us the boost we need to beat this fake god's ass!" Masaru declared, raising his fist, which flowed with Athena's Ki.

"C'mon, guys, we're not wasting our Athena's sacrifice!" Dai-Valkyrie Varuna declared, rallying Orcus, Eris, Ixion, and Quaoar together.

As Athena's energy resonated with her Houou cloak, Houou Mars sensed hers and the Houou's power become augmented.

"Rest easy, Athena and PinkPatamon. We won't let this monster get away with what he's done," Houou Mars vowed to help bring Black Gaiamon X's terror to an end.

"ZAMASMON!" Omega X yelled out toward the so-proclaimed Chakravartin. "If you thought you had us beat, think again!"

"We're not done with you now that Athena's shared her life energy with us!" Angemon X shouted, holding Sedna's hand as they became united with their future daughter's energy resonating within them.

"You'll never fully erase the child that gave herself for us," Sedna said.

"Athena, we'll make sure your energy gets put to good use!" Dramon X exclaimed as his B.A.X. overflowed with his and Athena's shared Ki.

"Zamasmon! It's over for you!" Madoka declared as white angelic wings spread out from her back. Her hair became longer. The white aura surrounding her became pink.

Veering toward Madoka, Black Gaiamon X hastily flew toward her. He remembered Madoka healing the others and decided to take out their 'white mage'. However, by doing so, Omega X and Metalla X flew at him. Omega X and Metalla X both punched Black Gaiamon X's gut, stunning him.

"You bastards…!" Before Black Gaiamon X could retaliate, a flash of a dull silverish light flew at him very fast and hit him hard. He was knocked away by a brutal force. Omega X, Metalla X, and the others saw it was Dramon X enveloped in the mysterious silver aura. Black Gaiamon X's face contorted with pain as Dramon X buried his fist into his face.

"WHOA, KEN!" Omega X exclaimed.

"Brother! What was that?!" Sedna cried out.

"Madoka, what did you do to him?!" Sailor Moon turned to her.

"I-I gave him a power boost using Athena's energy is all! Just like I did with the rest of you!" Madoka answered.

However, Black Gaiamon X refused to accept being humbled by Dramon X.

"I don't know what power this is, but you've defiled a god's power long enough…!" Black Gaiamon X roared as he fired Holy Wrath toward Dramon X, who collided with the sphere. "I've got you now!"

"Hey, Zamasmon!" Omega X yelled, powering up back to Super Ascendant Blue. He launched toward Black Gaiamon X's destructive sphere.

"No, this won't do!" Black Gaiamon X beckoned his Gates of (Z)amas to repeat the same devastating blast that ended Athena X's life.

"NO, YOU DON'T!" Omega X bellowed.

Dramon X seethed as he punched through Black Gaiamon X's sphere and hit him with another devastating hook. Taking yet another punch from Dramon X, Black Gaiamon X lost his footing and was knocked into the air.

"Now's my chance!" Omega X declared, combining his Blue form with Fury Blitz. Shooting upward, he collided with Black Gaiamon X and hit him with an immensely powerful Super Tsunami Wave, which engulfed and pushed Black Gaiamon X away.

Letting out a deep breath, Dramon X's silver aura consciously vanished. He dropped to a knee and panted.

"What happened?" Dramon X didn't realize what he happened.

"We took down Zamasmon for now," Omega X answered as he powered down. "What was that you just pulled?"

"I don't even know for sure," Dramon X replied cluelessly. "I wasn't even thinking, I just reacted after Madoka boosted me with Athena's Ki."

"Can you tap into it again?" Sedna queried to him.

Dramon X tried but couldn't invoke it. "No, I can't bring it out. Must've been some weird power anomaly."

"Guys, you might wanna save the speculation for later! Zamasmon ain't done!" Guilkatomon pointed to the merged being getting up looking worse for wear.

As he stood, Black Gaiamon X's stumbled forward. When he emerged, he looked horribly disfigured from before. His body's damaged areas bubbled up and turned sickly purple. In fact, the entire right half of his body mutated into a purple and slimy substance. The eye of his now decaying side turned yellow and the iris turned red.

Everyone gawked with disdain and disgust at the once dignified-looking Rogue Guardian, who now became a disfigured monster right out of a horror movie.

Seething mad, Black Gaiamon X let out a blood-curdling roar. "YOU WILL ALL DIE!" His once calm mind and demeanor fractured, giving way to the now unhinged lunatic hellbent on purging every mortal life form. "I SHALL WIPE ALL THE SINS YOU'VE BROUGHT TO THE NEXUS!" Lifting his right arm, he gathered divine energy. "Light of Justice, grant me the power to strike them all down!"

Invoking the power of justice bestowed to him, Black Gaiamon X's entire right arm mutated into an enlarged, grotesque purple sludge-like limb. The merged being looked down at his arm and snickered gleefully.

"Yes, with this hand, I'll cleanse this world first of all you filthy mortals. Don't you see?! I'm doing the universes a favor ridding your mortal kind and resetting it all for worlds made fit for gods!" Black Gaiamon X ranted against his adversaries.

As Omega X stepped up to face him, he sensed a surge of energy coming from Dramon X, or rather his B.A.X. Digivice.

"Brother, your Digivice!" Sedna called out.

"It's glowing!" Orcus exclaimed.

Then, a burst of white energy flowed out of Dramon X's B.A.X. Digivice. Omega X and Angemon X were seemingly drawn toward the energy coming out of the B.A.X. Digivice.

Scowling, Black Gaiamon X had seen enough. "Ludicrous, you're all just posturing! Now join that pest in the afterlife!" He activated the Gates of (Z)amas again, but the blasts were quickly nullified by the white veil of light enveloping the Ascendant Triad. "WHAT?!"

"I know what this is! Thanks to Athena and Madoka, we can form into Gaiamon X again!" Omega X gritted. "Go for it, Kensuke!"

(Cue Theme X - Xenoblade Chronicles X OST)

Give us strength, Athena! Then, Dramon X called out. "Ascendant! DigiXros!" He raised the B.A.X. Digivice into the air as it released three pillars of white and cyan light that engulfed the Ascendant Triad simultaneously and pulled them together to a single column of light.

Eventually, the fused Ascendant Triad emerged from the column of white and cyan light. The Triad becomes an armored knight with massive shoulder guards and large white wings folded behind his back. The warrior had three sheathed swords on him, two sheathed ones mounted on his hips, and a massive one on his back. The smaller swords were Dramon X and Angemon X's. The large one on his back resembled the Dramon Breaker wielded by VictoryGreymon. The armor's color schemes are mostly white and gold with some cyan. He wore no helmet, which showed a face resembling Kaiser X Blue's and his spiky cyan hair. His entire body was outlined by a white aura, which flared like white fire. At last, he became Gaiamon X once again.

The other heroes became awestruck by Gaiamon X's presence. Those who remembered the last time Gaiamon X was summoned (namely the Ascendants, the Sailors, and Team Xros Heart) were still drawn to his rare appearance.

With his fists shaking, Masaru gleamed over Gaiamon X. "Oh man, now that's so awesome!"

"He's so cool looking!" ShineGreymon BM exclaimed like a giddy child.

"Oh yeah, how can I forget about this guy!" Taiki recalled.

Tagiru gleamed. "So cool and shiny! And look at all those swords he's got!"

"So this is Gaiamon X I've heard so much about? Yep, too bad I missed out on the whole Paradixalmon thing. He sure lives up to the hype," Brunhilde observed Gaiamon X with great interest.

"We can't judge his hype until we see him in action, but I have a good feeling about this," Skuld added, quivering with excitement.

Metalla X folded his arms and smirked. "Well, as much as I hate being left out, this is fine. You've done me and Matty boy proud, Dimitri. And you, too, Taichi. And I guess Ken, too."

Sedna observed Gaiamon X silently, but just as enamored. "It's been a long time since Gaiamon X last formed. Only you could've done this, Athena." Shedding tears, she smiled with a hand on her chest. "Thank you, my sweet Athena."

As their fusion wore off, Beerusmon and Whismon landed where Shintomon, Gowasmon, Rumsshimon, and Cusmon were. They watched Gaiamon X with piqued interest.

"Well, how about this turn of events?" Whismon asked Digiverse 10 colleagues.

"All it took was that child's sacrifice to make this possible?" Rumsshimon observed. "This was quite unexpected."

"Zamasmon sure didn't count on this while being blinded by his narcissism," Gowasmon said.

"He looks so shiny and so strong! Maybe he's enough to challenge Gods of Destruction?" Cusmon wondered, eyeing both Beerusmon and Rumsshimon.

The pink elephant Digital God coughed. "Yes, well… maybe, perhaps not. We'll have to assess his power right now, won't we?"

Beerusmon scoffed. "Don't be silly. As imposing as Gaiamon X is now, he can't even come close to me." He boasted himself up to face save.

Whismon chuckled, teasing the purple cat. "Are you sure you want him to hear that?"

"Forget it. Let's just enjoy Zamasmon get what's coming to him."

"I can't help but note Zamasmon's entire demeanor has changed and his body has mutated," Gowasmon observed Black Gaiamon X's half-slimy form.

"It has to be due to one of his components that's bringing an unbalanced mix to his body," Whismon explained.

"Yes, it's one of those Black Ascendant bodies Zamasmon is using. The one that was critically damaged is making it difficult for his fused body to heal himself. However, they must hurry and deal the finishing blow before that component fully heals itself," Gowasmon pointed. "Warriors of Digiverse 7, please do right and end Zamasmon before this universe succumbs to his madness." He and the gods meticulously watched the Zamasmon cloud faces filling out the sky.

Baffled by Gaiamon X's presence, Black Gaiamon X chastised his presence. "You mock me with this appearance?!"

"I am Gaiamon X." The fused warrior announced in a deepened tone akin to Omega X's. A bit of Angemon X and Dramon X was heard behind Omega X's dominant voice. "Our power will right all the wrongs you've committed and end your pointless ambition to destroy all mortals."

"My pointless ambition? No, you'll see there's a purposeful meaning to purging every mortal. Mortals like you don't understand what I'm trying to do for the better of us gods!" Black Gaiamon X boasted his mission purpose, which his opponents saw as nothing more than a front for his own egotistical reasons.

"Yeah, we don't buy that. You're only in this for yourself!" Gaiamon X retorted as he walked toward Black Gaiamon X. "Now how about we shut up and fight already? I'm ready to end you for good."

Black Gaiamon X put on a self-composed grin. "Oh, you can try. You can be three people or three combined into one. It won't make a difference to me! The end result shall be the same with me on top of the food chain!" He lunged at and attacked Gaiamon X.

The two beings were caught in an intense struggle, causing others to move away.

Elsewhere, beams of white light from Athena's sacrifice engulfed Sora & Phoenixmon, Mimi & Rosemon, Joe & Plesiomon, Izzy & HerculesKabuterimon, Cody & Vikemon, and Yolei Valkyrimon.

"What's this light? Why is it hitting us?!" Yolei asked as she freaked out.

"Wait, this light isn't hurting us. It's as strange it sounds… comforting," Joe noticed as the white glow covered him and Plesiomon.

"You're right! Whatever it is, it's healing my body and reenergizing me!" Plesiomon said.

"Same here, Izzy! This light is making me stronger than I was before," HerculesKabuterimon added.

"Those streams of light came from the vicinity where the others are fighting Zamasmon!" Izzy pointed toward the area where Gaiamon X was seen facing off against Black Gaiamon X. "Look! Is that…?!"

"Tai, Dimitri, and Kensuke!" Mimi cried out.

"It feels like them," Sora nodded. "Wait, could that be the exact form they used to defeat Paradixalmon with?"

"And this light… this is Athena's light!" Phoenixmon revealed.

"Yes, so it was Athena's energy that faded just now. She sacrificed herself to save the others and is sending her life energy to us!" Rosemon stated.

"Athena… gone? Oh no," Mimi gasped in horror. "And it's our fault we couldn't stop her."

"She's passed her power over to us?" Sora watched as the white auras enveloped them and their Digimon partners. "Guys, something's happening! I...I feel… my Crest's power coming to the surface! Not just that, but it's increasing my Ascendant powers!"

Each of the Digidestined watched their respective Crest symbols flash on their chests.

"It's as if Athena's life force is tapping into our latent Ascendant energies!" Izzy stated. "We've always had them, but we never took the time to bring them out to their fullest potential! We've only managed to create Crest Weapons for ourselves to fight enemies, but we thought that was our limits."

"But thanks to Athena, could we possibly become Ascendants like Tai, Kari, Matt, and the others?!" Mimi wondered. An exuberant grin adorned her face. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's not let Athena's sacrifice go to waste!"

The Digidestined each put their hands on their respective Digimon partners. Athena's light engulfed the Digidestined and their Digimon.

Sora & Phoenixmon merged into a female warrior garbed in sleek red-orange armor. Tufts of yellow feathers covered her neck collar, arms, and legs. Her hair turned reddish yellow and pointed up. Two long bangs hung down the sides of her face. Her eyes, like any other Ascendant, became green. She became the Ascendant of Love, Houou X.

Izzy & HerculesKabuterimon combined into a warrior with combined traits of a Metal Hero and Kamen Rider Kabuto. He gained the armor color features of Kabuterimon's blue, MegaKabuterimon's burgundy, and HerculesKabuterimon's gold. The upper half of his face is revealed, now showing off green eyes, while the bottom half is covered in a mask. Two beetle pincers formed on his head. He became the Ascendant of Knowledge, Kabuto X.

Mimi & Rosemon combined into a female warrior with an appearance similar to Rosemon X, but her hair is pointed up and her eyes became green. She became the Ascendant of Sincerity, Rose(mon) X.

Joe & Plesiomon combined into a humanoid warrior version of Vikemon with Plesiomon's traits. He became the Ascendant of Reliability, Vulcan X.

Cody & Vikemon combined into a warrior that's a humanoid version of Shakkoumon and Orichalcos Shunoros. He became the Ascendant of Nobility, Shunoros X.

Yolei & Valkyrimon combined into a female warrior whose appearance is based on Valkyrimon, but with Halsemon's color traits. She became the Ascendant of Caring, Zephyr X.

The Kai Digidestined are in awe over their Ascendant forms.

"We're finally Ascendants!" Kabuto X exclaimed.

"It's like a dream come true!" Vulcan X said enthused. "Someone pinch me?"

Rose(mon) X pinched Vulcan X, "Hey, we're awake, Joe!"

"We're definitely wide awake," Houou X said, looking up at Gaiamon X facing Black Gaiamon X.

The newly awakened Ascendant Digidestined hastily flew over to the area where the final battle was set to take place.

"My gosh, is that Sora, Mimi, Joe, Izzy, Yolei, and Cody?!" Sedna exclaimed in shock. "They're Ascendants now?!"

KaiserGreymon watched in awe, "It's like they've become Legendary Warriors!"

Guilkatomon added, "This is totally awesome!"

Renrukimon smiled, "We'll see how they stack up compared to us."

That's not all. The light from Athena also bathed BanchoLeomon, Jax, Pikkan, BW, Sonja, Sheila, Tike, Kara, David, and Sam. The light granted them fusion power to become new unified beings.

BanchoLeomon and Jax ultimately fused into CyberLeomon, who is a half-cyborg BanchoLeomon with Jax's orange bandana, jeans, and has a new pair of yellow gray boots trimmed with yellow. He looked like a cross between BanchoLeomon and Super Android 17.

BW and Pikkan fused into Bikkan, a gray-skinned warrior with tufts of yellow hair like BlackWarGreymon and pointed ears like Pikkan.

Sonja and Sheila fused together into Soneila. She looked like a green-skinned version of Sonja with long orange hair. She's now wearing a black vest, baggy white pants, and yellow boots.

Tike and Kara fused to become Tikara, a female Ascendant with a mix of Tike and Kara's hair. She powered up into a full Ascendant form.

And David and Sam fused to become Davam, who has a mix of David and Sam's hair. He has David's eyes and Sam's facial structure. He powered up into a full Ascendant form.

Davam scanned himself and jumped up. "Wow, we've become fused!"

Tikara grinned mischievously over her new form. "Heheh, nice! I call this an improvement!" She struck a sexy pose.

Soneila scoffed, brushing her hair back. "Please, I'd call myself an improvement."

Bikkan flexed his arms. "Not bad. I wasn't expecting us to merge."

CyberLeomon checked over his new form. "Combining Digimon and Artificial traits into one? I rather like this development."

"Wow, it's like a fusion party over here!" Masaru exclaimed.

"Yeah, who's next? Me and Shoutmon fusing?" Taiki wondered.

Shoutmon added. "Maybe Athena can make it happen?"

OmegaTitaniamon added. "Well, I'm still merged, but who knows for much longer."

Haru was shaken by all this. "I don't even know what to think anymore. And I thought Appmon fusions were over the top!"

Gatchmon added in his excitement. "I don't think we've seen everything yet!"

"Oh, believe me, you haven't seen anything yet. Come to our world and you'd be surprised," Guilkatomon addressed Haru and Gatchmon.

Madoka walked up and clamped her hands together for Gaiamon X. "Athena brought us a miracle. I'm happy to deliver her light to all of you. We'd ensured Zamasmon's defeat."

As Gaiamon X flew into the air, he paused and glared down Black Gaiamon X. The latter was overcome with a rush of anxiety, unsure of what to do with a being of near equal power to his own.

"Zamasmon, it's over." Gaiamon X glared.

Black Gaiamon X can only react in shock, before powering up and charging at Gaiamon X for one final round.

There is a desperate struggle to hold off the rebellious magical girl. Pluto & Volodramon's group are fending R. Homura off. But most of all, Skogul Heimdalldóttir and Skogul Cassieldóttir (Corner) team up in the wake of Ford (Story)'s sacrifice.

"GET AWAY!" R. Homura backs off in a panic.

Skogul (Corner), already reverted to her normal form and unleashed her Tempus Limit Break, a technique exclusive only to her. She rushed to punch R. Homura in the face full force, implementing a technique akin to Hit/Hit the Hitmon's Time-Skip. Following that, Skogul unleashed Heimdall's Circles to force push R. Homura away.

Pluto and Volodramon unleashed temporal blasts to damage R. Homura. Venus and Saturn deliver kicks and energy blasts at the rebellious magical girl. R. Homura tried to swipe them with her void swords, but they evade. Saturn stopped R. Homura's void swords with her Silence Glaive. This is followed by Gao Pluto and Nick parrying their opponents, allowing both Carmens to deliver little damage to R. Homura with their katanas. Homura herself mounted the top of Yog-Sothoth and unleashed a rain of bullets at R. Homura. R. Homura used a heavy force field to repel them all.

Suddenly, Skogul used her smaller magic circles from her hands to try to dispel R. Homura's barrier, but it doesn't work much. Even so, this distraction allowed Skogul (Corner) to slide-change to her T. rex form and head-butted R. Homura. She slide-changed back to normal and delivered many sword slashes with her Quern-biter blade and her spear while using her staff to fire blasts. Then, Skogul (Corner) forced R. Homura to back off with comets that fire temporal beams called Asteroid Rays.

As R. Homura endured so many attacks, she realized that she had to go into the gate leading into her destined dimension.

I must go inside the MillenniRealm! I can't last against these great numbers! R. Homura anxiously thought until she saw Yog floating above her.

Using supporting magic, R. Homura's aura then affects Yog-Sothoth, allowing her to escape and enter the MillenniRealm's gateway.

The heroes officially stopped the assault for the moment.

(End theme)

"She got away into that gateway!" Nick cried out. "Dudes, like don't tell me we have to go in there?"

"You wanna stop her? Then, we have no choice. We're in this together," Carmen (Corner) stated.

"Actually, he's right," Volodramon added. "I don't believe we'll need a big group to go after her. Some of you should stay behind."

Pluto nodded. "Indeed, and by staying behind, you can help defend our home dimension in case this Rebellious Homura and her cohorts unleash any more anomalous creatures."

"So, you want us to stay behind and take care of business," Sailor Venus asked. "No problem, just leave it to us."

"Wait though, who's going in there and who's staying behind?" Sailor Saturn asked.

"We've yet to decide, but I know I'm going after my Rebellious counterpart," Homura declared.

"I'll go as well and so will Volodramon," Pluto said.

"And what about me? I guess I can't go?" Gao Pluto asked Pluto.

"I'm sorry, Hina," Pluto knelt down and hugged Gao Pluto. "But I trust you'll assist our friends back home. They'll need you to support them all they can."

"I won't let you down, Pluto," Gao Pluto vowed, hugging Pluto back. As she hugged Pluto, Ratatoskr popped his head out and gave a thumbs up to Pluto's spirit partner, Lupe.

Skogul then kissed Ford (Story)'s lips, before she let go. Then, Ford (Story) begins to wake up much to everyone's relief.

"Hey, looks who's awake… I mean alive!" Nick cried out. "Dude, you like died on us!"

"It appears divine intervention came when we needed it," Pluto observed this. "Could this be your doing, Mnemosyne…?"

Volodramon overheard this. "Mnemosyne? You mentioned her to me before."

Pluto replied. "Yes, and it's a long story…"

"Oh god, you're back, Ford!" Skogul embraced Ford (Story).

"Whoa. Take it easy, Jess." Ford (Story) calmed her.

"Look, I'm such an idiot myself, but you're okay," Skogul responded.

Skogul (Corner) smiled and noted a difference between her YYGDM-01 self and Ford (Story). Despite the similarity, their personalities contrasted being 'young and unique' from Skogul (Corner)'s own experiences as more heartwarming than the Story version.

"You know when my Ford came back to life, I simply told him 'Welcome back'. And he said 'Jess-? Is that you?' And then I said, 'It's me'," Skogul (Corner) mentioned to Skogul and Ford (Story). "We handled our situation more maturely than yours. Just watching you two acting out this similar situation, it's kinda cute."

Skogul and Ford (Story) both had nothing to say about this. They hugged each other until Skogul realized she had been squeezing Ford (Story) too hard and pulled away.

"Sorry! Didn't mean to hug you too hard!" Skogul yelped.

"It's ok…." Ford (Story) cringed, rubbing his sides.

Skogul (Corner) beckoned Chilali to lift their mood. "Go on and lighten the scene up."

Chilali (Corner) then closed his eyes and kept his beak agape, forming a smile. This creeped out Skogul.

"Oooook, that's like not totally weird," Skogul blinked in bewilderment at Chilali (Corner).

Just then, Max/Keke's group and the group that defeated Galakadi X arrived at the Inner Chambers.

"Hey, we're back!" Max called out as he and Keke returned. Their Meta-Fusion expired. "Great, you guys got Jessica and Ford free."

"And same with you and Mana. So, did you beat your enemies?" Venus asked Max's group and Sigrun & Gondul's group.

"Yep, we took down those two Digimon monsters," Sigrun replied.

"It wasn't easy but we got the job done," Gondul added.

"But we did it. Now we're ready for whatever else is next!" Reginleif (Corner) said enthusiastically.

"Well, actually we've decided we're going forward with a smaller, consolidated group to enter that gateway," Volodramon said.

"What, you mean some of us gotta stay behind?" Ayase asked.

"Understood. It's for the best," Shibungi nodded.

"Aww, and I was ready for the next bad guys!" Reginleif (Corner) felt dejected.

"Most of you here don't possess the will to last beyond the gateway into the MillenniRealm," Yog informed them. "Only a few here can advance forth. Both versions of Jessica, I suggest you not go beyond the gateway. Likewise for you, Ford."

Skogul (Corner) smiled. "We understand. My counterpart and this version of Ford have already been traumatized enough. And since I look like this Jessica, you don't want me going either."

"And of course, some of us are considered liabilities against immensely powerful forces. We don't know what lies beyond that gate," Argo said.

"Yeah, just going near that gate thing gives me the creeps," Nick shuddered, feeling a cold dread coming from the MillenniRealm gate.

"I'll stay behind, too," Carmen decided.

Carmen (Corner) added. "And if she's staying behind, I will, too."

"Guess I'm out, too," Reginleif (Corner) sighed.

"Don't worry, who knows? We may have to defend our home dimension in case the bad guys send an army of dark agents," Sigrun reassured Reginleif (Corner).

"The MillenniRealm gateway is closing, but I will provide a portal for the group choosing to stay behind and go home," Yog offered his help to them.

"Thank you," Max said.

"You ready for whatever lies beyond, Kari?" WarAngemon asked Celesta X.

"Yeah."

Ultima X clenched a fist. "Let's go and serve a whooping on these bad guys!"

"You guys ready to kick more ass?" Yusuke asked his fellow Detectives.

Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, and Shaka nodded together, resolving to continue the battles.

"Let's do this, guys," Shu turned to Gai, Inori, and Mana.

"Be careful, Shu, Gai, Inori, and Mana," Ayase waved to them.

"We await your safe returns," Argo gave a salute to them.

As Kyubey tried to slip away, Mana grabbed him. "Eh, eh, no you don't, mister." She put a binding rope on the Incubator, tying him up. "And this time you can't escape."

"And if he does," Homura readied a pistol. "And he can say hi to the other end of this barrel."

"Going to the extreme like always, Homura," Sayaka commented over her friend's unorthodox methods of detaining someone.

Shu chuckled nervously. "Always coming prepared, huh, Homura?"

"When it comes to Kyubey, always," the dark-haired Puella plainly said, staring Kyubey dead in his beady red eyes.

With that, Yog's portal allowed Gao Pluto, Skogul, Sigrun, Gondul, Ford (Story), Carmen, Nick, Ayase, Argo, Oogumo, Shibungi, Skogul (Corner), Carmen (Corner), and Reginleif (Corner) to return to dimension YYGDM-01.

Yog was preparing to close the portal. "Is that everyone?"

"Yes, that's all who'll go back," Pluto nodded. "Thank you."

Max put on a determined look. "Then, let's finally move forth, troops. Our next destination: the MillenniRealm."

"MillenniRealm? Has a funny ring to such a scary place," Kuwabara noted.

"I think we should know by now never to judge a book by its cover," Kurama reminded him.

"The feel of it feels like we're about to enter the Makai gate, but on a much grander scale. It's intoxicating," Hiei assessed.

"Yui, think you can handle this?" Yusuke asked Shaka.

Shaka resolved. "Yeah, we didn't come this far to turn back."

"We're ready, Pluto," Volodramon addressed the Time Guardian.

Hina, wait for us, my child. Pluto had her goddaughter in mind as she and Volodramon advanced toward the MillenniRealm gate.

Other me, we're coming for you. Homura resolved to confront and stop R. Homura on her own. Madoka, hopefully, we see each other soon.

The group heading toward the MillenniRealm gate comprised Sailor Pluto, Volodramon, Homura, Max & Gojiramon, Keke & Mosuramon, Celesta X, WarAngemon, Ultima X, Zordiark X, Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, Shaka, Sailor Venus, Sailor Saturn, Sayaka, Nagisa, Shu, Inori, Gai, and Mana (carrying Kyubey).

Yog watched the resolute group enter the MillenniRealm gate. He had a newfound respect for them.

"Good luck on the other side, heroes," Yog wished them well into unchartered territory unknown to them. "Because you will need it."

Lyngbakr/Dimension: Character Corner

(Cue Musashi Samurai Legend - Last Battle)

Back at Lyngbakr in the Cornerverse, the battles have become desperate.

BlazeGallantmon (Corner), StormSakuyamon (Corner), QuakeGargomon (Corner), AuroraInumon (Corner), Garm, Gondul (Corner), Sigrun (Corner), Anuli, Jeri (Corner), and Sara face Mist/Immoral Valkyrie (YYGDM-01).

"You did this to our Mist?!" BlazeGallantmon (Corner) growled, storming over toward Mist (YYGDM-01). He shoved his lance, which became tipped with flames, into Mist (YYGDM-01), but the Immoral Valkyrie evaded the Beast Biomerger's attack.

"So what if I did?! I only reminded her of who she truly is and where her bloodline came from!" Mist (YYGDM-01) quickly dropped energy blasts on BlazeGallantmon (Corner) and company.

"We know all about your horrible reputation! You're manipulating our Mist!" Gondul (Corner) yelled out.

"As much as our Mist and I don't get along, she's nowhere near as bad as you!" StormSakuyamon (Corner) shouted, sending lightning bolts down on Mist (YYGDM-01).

QuakeGargomon (Corner) charged at Mist (YYGDM-01) and caught Mist (YYGDM-01) with an elbow. His giant elbow slammed into Mist (YYGDM-01) and sent her flying back.

Gondul (Corner) flew over Mist (YYGDM-01) and tossed a Light Spear her way. Mist (YYGDM-01) dodged. Gondul (Corner) tossed a spare spear to Anuli, who threw it at the Immoral Valkyrie. Mist (YYGDM-01) quickly stopped the spear with her bare hand and laughed.

Sigrun (Corner) beckoned Sara (Corner) to help her attack Mist (YYGDM-01). Both the Valkyrie and her Chimera Einherji engaged Mist (YYGDM-01). Mist (YYGDM-01) blasted Sigrun (Corner) back, who returned the favor by blasting her with Thunderclap Flash. Taking Sigrun's blast head-on, Mist (YYGDM-01) absorbed most of Sigrun (Corner)'s attack. She turned and reached over to grab Sara (Corner), but Sara's body went intangible. Seeing her hand phase through Sara (Corner), Mist (YYGDM-01) growled.

"I forgot you can do that!" Mist (YYGDM-01) hissed, leaving herself open for Sigrun (Corner) to hit her with Mjolnir. As she was sent flying away, Mist (YYGDM-01) recovered and smirked despite blood trickling from her lip.

AuroraInumon (Corner) rushed Mist (YYGDM-01) and swung Gram at her. The Immoral Valkyrie jumped up avoiding AuroraInumon (Corner)'s attack. BlazeGallantmon (Corner) charged up flames in his lance and fired a Phoenix Shot at Mist (YYGDM-01), who put up a barrier and stopped the Beast Biomerger's heated attack. Mist (YYGDM-01) expelled lime green flames, driving BlazeGallantmon (Corner) and the others back.

"Why don't we take a look at how vicious my other self now that my seed has bloomed inside her!" Mist (YYGDM-01) boasted, watching Mist (Corner) preparing to make her next move.

Brunhilde (Corner), Geirskogul (Corner), Rota, Geiravor, MetalSeadramon (Corner), Volcanicdramon, Gunnar (Corner), Hagen, and Sanngridor confront Mist/Immoral Erinye (Corner).

"C'mon, Adora, snap out of it!" Brunhilde (Corner) pleaded to her rival/friend. Before she pleads to the Erinye, the Immoral Erinye phased right in front of Brunhilde (Corner) and knocked her back with a punch.

"That's it!" MetalSeadramon roared, diving down and blasting Mist (Corner) with River of Power.

Grani (Corner) flew down, catching Brunhilde (Corner). Volcanicdramon, Eikthyrnir, and Gullinbursti (Corner) watch in horror as their partner, Mist (Corner), has been turned loose on Brunhilde (Corner)'s friends and colleagues. They watched as MetalSeadramon (Corner) repeatedly blasts Mist (Corner), who stops his attacks with her flaming purple wings.

"Thanks, Grani," Brunhilde recollected herself.

"Now that our Mist is being controlled by that eviler counterpart of hers, we've been transferred over to you, Brunhilde," Gullinbursti (Corner) said.

"We have no love loss for you, Brunhilde. We're deeply loyal to our Mist, but we will need your help to restore Adora," Volcanicdramon stated as Eikthyrnir and Gullinbursti (Corner) nodded together.

"Then let's snap our Mist right out of it!" Brunhilde (Corner) declared, leading Grani (Corner), Volcanicdramon, Eikthyrnir, and Gullinbursti (Corner) forward. "Hang on, MetalSeadramon!"

As MetalSeadramon (Corner) snapped his jaws over Mist (Corner), the Immoral Erinye caught the ex-Dark Master's mouth and blasted him back with purple flames. As MetalSeadramon (Corner) recoiled and reconvened with Brunhilde (Corner), Geirskogul (Corner), Rota, and Geiravor stepped in to confront their leader.

Geirskogul (Corner) reasoned with Mist (Corner). "You've got to snap out of this, Mist! We know you possess an iron will to break free from that other Mist's hold over you!"

Rota snorted. "Hate to say it, but she ain't listening. Guess we gotta kill her."

Geiravor retorted. "No, she's our leader, Rota. We just need to neutralize her." With that, she shapeshifted into a secretary bird. She quickly flew at Mist (Corner) and kicked her with her talons.

While Geiravor kept Mist (Corner) occupied, Geirskogul (Corner) and Rota rushed in to attack the Immoral Erinye from the rear. Geirskogul (Corner) dove in from the right. Rota came from the left. Mist (Corner) quickly raised a purple aura, which repelled Geiravor, Rota, and Geirskogul (Corner) back.

Gunnar (Corner), Hagen, and Sanngridor tried their luck with Mist (Corner). However, the Immoral Erinye swiftly took them down with quick attacks. Brunhilde (Corner) dropped in and blasted Mist (Corner)'s back with blue flames. As blue flames engulfed her, Mist (Corner)'s purple flamed wings absorbed these flames.

"Hey, are y'all ok?" Brunhilde (Corner) asked the three Erinyes that Mist (Corner) took down on her own. She then pivoted over to Gunnar (Corner), Hagen, and Sanngridor.

"Adora, please stop this! I implore you!" Volcanicdramon pleaded to Mist (Corner), who lifelessly glared at him without recognition.

As their pleas fell on deaf ears, Mist (Corner) marched forward with a new purpose. She charged at Brunhilde (Corner) first and slashed at her with sharp claws. Brunhilde (Corner) imbued her hands with a blue fire and parried the Immoral Erinye's blows.

"I'm not stopping until your head is in the right place!" Brunhilde (Corner) screamed passionately in Mist (Corner)'s face.

The Immoral Erinye seized Brunhilde (Corner)'s right arm and prepared to immolate her. However, Brunhilde (Corner) called upon MetalSeadramon and activated her Digivice, Biomerging with him to become Mizuchi Mode. Brunhilde Mizuchi Mode (Corner) unleashed a full-powered wave, repelling Mist (Corner) back. Brunhilde MM (Corner) rushed Mist (Corner) and clashed with her.

"Wake up, Adora! I know you're still there!" Brunhilde MM (Corner) openly pleaded to her, but her words seemed to fail to break the Immoral Erinye.

Moon (Corner), Lenneth, Silmeria, Hrist, Pluto (Corner), Gao Pluto (Corner), Ellen, Nicolle, Eiko, Eikou, Aluminum Siren, and Lead Crow face Quedesha.

Quedesha chortled, taunting her enemies. "So, my pathetic descendant, why don't I just end your existence so I don't have to look at you anymore." With that, she dashed toward Ellen, who was then saved by Dai-Valkyrie Moon (Corner), Pluto (Corner), and Lenneth's intervention.

Moon (Corner) slashed at Quedesha, forcing the renegade Light Elf back. "You're not getting by us, Quedesha!"

"Annoying pests," Quedesha scowled in irritation. She lunged at Moon, unleashing rapid kicks to knock the blade out of Moon (Corner)'s hand.

Moon (Corner) dodged Quedesha's kicks and landed a good kick on Quedesha, knocking her back. Moon (Corner) flew at Quedesha and went to cut the renegade Light Elf in two, but Quedesha teleported out of Moon (Corner)'s attack.

Quedesha reappeared in front of Pluto (Corner) and fiercely attacked her. Pluto (Corner) used her Garnet Staff, countering Quedesha's attacks. Pluto (Corner) charged up her Garnet Staff, firing off her Dead Scream. Quedesha teleported again, throwing the Time Guardian off.

Gao Pluto (Corner) picked up on Quedesha's scent, following her movements. "Lenneth, she's behind you!"

Taking heed of Gao Pluto (Corner)'s warning, Lenneth turned around and stopped Quedesha with her sword. Lenneth unleashed sword slashes on Quedesha, who dodged and parried the Valkyrie's attacks.

Silmeria and Hrist run over to aid Lenneth. Quedesha quickly teleports, leaving the Valkyrie trio to scan around for the renegade Light Elf. Quedesha reappeared behind Lenneth, Silmeria, and Hrist. She unleashed three beams, knocking the three away.

Eiko and Eikou attacked Quedesha from the rear. Quedesha dodged their strikes and repelled them with a wave.

"Ellen!" Nicolle called out to her while in her Svartalf Warg form.

"I'm right here, Nicolle!" Ellen called out as she ran over to her.

Sailor Lead Crow grew frustrated. "C'mon, Aluminum Siren, let's show them how we handle renegades!" She took out a whip and swung it at Quedesha, who caught it with one hand.

Aluminum Siren ran at Quedesha to save Lead Crow. Quedesha chortled and opened both her hands. She fired two beams from her hands. The beams struck the two Sailor Animamates, obliterating and killing them both quickly.

"No, Lead Crow! Aluminum Siren!" Moon (Corner) cried out to her former enemies.

"And they were starting to grow on me," Pluto (Corner) commented.

"You witch!" Gao Pluto (Corner) yelled at Quedesha. She ran at Quedesha and took out her Garner Wand. Activating her wand, a ribbon snapped out of it and glowed a lavender light. Using her Möbius Whip, Gao Pluto (Corner) grabbed Quedesha's arm, but the Light Elf's arm released energy, causing the whip to snap off.

"Annoying wolf child," Quedesha recognized the wolf scent from Gao Pluto (Corner). She lobbed an energy blast at Gao Pluto (Corner), who jumped out of harm's way.

Gao Pluto (Corner) scrambled over to Pluto (Corner).

"I couldn't beat her, Pluto."

"You have nothing to be ashamed of, Hina. She's not someone you can defeat."

Quedesha shifted her sights on Ellen and Nicolle, who was coming into contact with each other. Then, a fiendish thought came to her mind.

"Can't allow you have bear any happiness, my unworthy descendant," Quedesha muttered with disgust. She formed a small energy ball in her hand and dashed toward the two Light and Dark Elves.

"Nicolle! Ellen! Move!" Moon (Corner) called out to them.

"Go now!" Lenneth yelled out.

However, just as Moon (Corner), Lenneth, Pluto (Corner), Gao Pluto (Corner), Hrist, Silmeria, Eiko, and Eikou attempted to stop Quedesha, it was already too late.

Quedesha's deadly strike came hard and fast.

Quedesha struck Ellen, putting her hand through Ellen's chest. Moon (Corner) and the others were too late, but they unleashed attacks to force Quedesha to release Ellen. Ellen fell as Nicolle watched in horror. Nicolle's heart sank like a stone.

(Cue Yuki Kajiura - Historia Ending)

"NO! ELLEN, MY KRYSTAL!" Nicolle shouted in tears.

The Svartalf Warg turned back to her normal dark elf form as she rushed in carrying Ellen in her arms.

"Nicolle..." Ellen muttered with a smile.

"Stay with me!" Nicolle cried out as she got something out of her pocket. It's revealed to be a wedding ring. "See look?! This is where I proposed you!"

Ellen sees this and smiles, "I'm so glad."

As Ellen is about to reach Nicolle's hand and the ring, a beam blasted through the wedding ring and destroyed it. Ellen reaction causes her to die in shock. The one who destroyed the ring is none other than Quedesha herself.

"Now that my pathetic descendant is dead, you have no need for that rubbish," Quedesha smirked evilly, taking out the last thing that would've fully established Ellen and Nicolle's beautiful relationship.

"How would you do this?!" Moon (Corner) snapped at Quedesha.

"Simple. No one is allowed to love except me. And I love thyself," Quedesha replied, expressing no regard for Ellen's passing. "And soon you will only learn to love only me."

"No!" Lenneth defied the renegade Light Elf.

"What did you say?!" Quedesha hissed.

Suddenly, Lenneth, Silmeria, and Hrist's bodies started glowing. Their bodies glowed with white light as they were drawn to Ellen's body.

"What is this?!" Quedesha was taken aback.

Gao Pluto (Corner) gasped. "Pluto, what's happening to them?"

"They're going to use their life forces to revive Ellen!" Eiko answered.

"But, what's going to happen to those three?!" Moon (Corner) wondered as she and the others watched as the three Valkyries hovered over Ellen's body.

"Nicolle, you may want to move," Lenneth insisted as Nicolle moved aside.

Pluto (Corner) gently pulled Nicolle aside. "It's ok. Just let them handle this."

"But, can they really revive Ellen?" Nicolle wondered, still crying.

"Hey, something's happening!" Eikou cried out.

Lenneth, Silmeria, and Hrist's bodies turned into columns of white light. These white lights glowed and immersed with Ellen's body. Ellen's body glowed with light and restored all her vitals. Ellen's eyes snapped open as she awoke.

"ELLEN?!" Nicolle screamed.

"She's back!" Gao Pluto (Corner) cried out.

"Yes, but she's not quite the same," Pluto (Corner) stated.

(Cue Lacuna Coil - The Ghost Women And The Hunter)

Ellen is then revived and her attire changes to something similar to The Valkyrie/Alicia from Valkyrie Profile 2. She shot an epic glare to her ancestor.

"What..? You have become a Valkyrie?!" Quedesha cried out, knowing the irony that she didn't become a maiden herself.

"I am not just a Valkyrie, I am The Valkyrie," Ellen/The Valkyrie declared boldly. "The three Valkyries are a part of me. We are one. We are The Valkyrie who's come to end your terror, rogue Light Elf."

Everyone else cease their fighting and witnessed The Valkyrie's awakening. Brunhilde (Corner) MM, Gondul (Corner), and Sigrun (Corner) are quickly drawn to her presence.

"Is that Lenneth, Hrist, and Silmeria in Ellen?" Sigrun (Corner) asked, confounded by the whole experience.

"They've merged with Ellen and revived her!" Gondul (Corner) said.

"Wow, this is incredibly awesome!" Brunhilde MM (Corner) yelled out, not realizing what she said was stupidly redundant. "She's like become the ultimate Valkyrie!"

The Valkyrie raised her hand. A sword materialized in her grasp.

"This one is on me, warriors," The Valkyrie declared in an otherworldly, divine tone. She shifted her sights on Quedesha and Mist (YYGDM-01). "You two have caused enough suffering."

Quedesha snarled at The Valkyrie. "As if Valkyries aren't insulting enough, but now you've become a Valkyrie using your body as a medium and allow those three to become one with you?!"

"Correction, I am not a Valkyrie. I am The Valkyrie."

"I don't care what you've become. You…!" Before Quedesha can finish, The Valkyrie flew at her faster than she can anticipate. She landed a slash across Quedesha, knocking her far back.

"Heh, what's the big deal? She doesn't look that tough," Mist (YYGDM-01) scoffed as she flew at The Valkyrie. "Hey, why not give me a try? Quedesha's weak compared to me…!"

And just like Quedesha, The Valkyrie struck Mist (YYGDM-01) hard and fast. The Valkyrie took down Mist (YYGDM-01) and kicked her away.

As Mist (YYGDM-01) landed near Quedesha, both stood ready to engage The Valkyrie. Quedesha and Mist (YYGDM-01) formed a circle over The Valkyrie, blocking her off from calling the others for help. However, The Valkyrie remained calm and collected.

Mist (YYGDM-01) launched a green-flamed attack. Quedesha threw a barrage of mystic blasts at The Valkyrie. With one swing of her sword, The Valkyrie swept back and wiped their attacks out.

"Whoa, she's incredible!" Moon (Corner) was left awestruck.

"This is the power of three Valkyries merged with a vessel," Pluto (Corner) said as much.

"Wow, I wonder if she's as strong as my Silver Valkyrie form?" Brunhilde MM (Corner) muttered, glancing over to Mist (Corner), who hadn't moved since The Valkyrie formed. "Adora, you can feel their power, too, huh? Deep down, I know you're loving seeing these two get their shit wrecked."

Mist (Corner) said nothing, quietly watching The Valkyrie taking apart Quedesha and Mist (YYGDM-01).

The Valkyrie kicked Mist (YYGDM-01) hard and sent her flying back. As Quedesha tried a sneak attack blast, the Valkyrie quickly batted away Quedesha's attack. Quedesha growls with frustration.

"Stop making a fool out of me, a pathetic descendant of mine! You dare to mock me becoming what I wanted to be!" Quedesha roared as she unleashed her unbridled fury. She teleported behind The Valkyrie and tried to shove an energy blade through The Valkyrie's shoulder.

The Valkyrie imbued her sword with light and tossed it at Quedesha. The glowing blade struck Quedesha, inflicting damage on the renegade Light Elf.

Overcome with shock and distress, Quedesha noticed her beautiful perfect skin received cuts and damaging burns from The Valkyrie's attacks. She couldn't believe how easily she's been beaten.

"How dare you damage my perfect skin! My beautiful skin that you'll never have in your lifetime, unworthy descendant! You knew you couldn't defeat me so you had these Valkyries save you!" Quedesha screamed with fury. She breathed hard and ultimately calmed down, recollecting herself so she doesn't completely become blind by her own fury. She chuckled calmly and grabbed Mist (YYGDM-01). "So sorry, but we must take our leave."

"No, you aren't getting away from us!" Brunhilde MM (Corner) shouted. As she attempted to stop them, The Valkyrie cut her off from the pass.

Gondul (Corner) transforms into a shoebill bird and flies over to attack Quedesha, who waves and shoos the bird away. Mist (YYGDM-01) smacks Gondul (Corner) away, causing her to turn back to normal.

"You think we're letting you get away?!" Moon (Corner) shouted.

"Not when we're here!" BlazeGallantmon (Corner) added. He turned over to The Valkyrie. "Hey, why aren't you letting us by?"

"She's luring you into a trap if you chase her," The Valkyrie warned them.

"Why yes, it's time for me and my friend here to take our leave," Quedesha chuckled.

"Hey, other me! You're coming with us, too! Hurry and get over here!" Mist (YYGDM-01) beckoned Mist (Corner) over to her.

With that, Mist (Corner) fully complied and flew over to Mist (YYGDM-01).

"ADORA! NO!" Geirskogul (Corner), Rota, Geiravor, Volcanicdramon, and Gullinbursti (Corner) yelled out to her.

"Don't listen to them, Adora! Don't go!" Brunhilde MM (Corner) once again pleaded not to abandon them. "That other you has you fully under her power. I know you can break it! You're better than this!"

As Mist (Corner) seemed to finally connect hearing Brunhilde MM (Corner) and the others, Mist (YYGDM-01) manipulated the shard inside Mist (Corner), putting her under control again.

"Come, let's lick our wounds and prepare for the final battle!" Quedesha declared. "Yes, we will settle this again and soon, my friends." She glanced over to The Valkyrie. "And let us hope we don't see each other again, my unworthy descendant. Farewell."

Quedesha then opens a portal as she, Mist (YYGDM-01), and Mist (Corner) entered it. As all three escaped, the portal closed.

(End theme)

"Damn it, they got away!" Rota cursed.

"I can't believe our Mist is with them now!" Geiravor said.

"Not by choice. We'll have another chance to break that other Mist's control over our Adora!" Geirskogul (Corner) swore. "Right, Kotori?"

Nodding, Brunhilde MM (Corner) firmed her resolve to save her rival/friend. "Yeah. You bet your ass we will." She turned over to Volcanicdramon, Gullinbursti (Corner), and Eikthyrnir. "And I swear on my title as Asgard ruler that we'll save your Adora. No, our Adora."

"Thank you, Brunhilde," Gullinbursti (Corner) said.

"We will repay in kind one day," Volcanicdramon said.

"You already are by being my temporary partners until we get her back," Brunhilde MM (Corner) said, patting Volcanicdramon's snout as well as petting Gullinbursti (Corner) and Eikthyrnir.

"And we're going to help, too," Moon (Corner) swore. "That other Mist and Quedesha won't get away with what they've done."

As a white light enveloped over her, The Valkyrie noticed this and sighed. "Looks like my time has expired. The three Valkyries will be returning."

Nicolle called out. "Wait! Ellen!"

The Valkyrie turned, hearing the name of her vessel being addressed to her. The Valkyrie noticed her body respond to Nicolle with familiarity as if Ellen herself took over.

"Nicolle," The Valkyrie addressed her in Ellen's voice as her form became enveloped in a pearl white.

Then, the three souls of the Valkyries (Valkyrie Profile) ejected out of Ellen's body. Sadly, the Elf remains dead. The souls of Lenneth, Silmeria, and Hrist return back to life with their bodies.

"NO! ELLEN!" Nicolle cried, catching the Elf's body.

Lenneth apologized. "I'm sorry, but The Valkyrie could've only maintained that form for a short time. And while that did revive Ellen, it wouldn't last long."

"No…" Nicolle cried over Ellen as Eiko and Eikou comforted her.

"Not just Ellen, but we've got Lead Crow and Siren Aluminum," Pluto (Corner) mentioned the two slain Sailor Animamates.

"Yeah, we won't let their sacrifice be in vain," Moon (Corner) said.

Not too soon after the villains escaped, Sinon, Silica, Lisbeth, Leafa, Klein, Agil, and Skuld (ALO) arrived and reconvened with Brunhilde (Corner) and her friends.

"So, they got away," Sinon said.

"Not for long, we're going right after them," Brunhilde MM (Corner) vowed to defeat Quedesha and Mist (YYGDM-01).

"And save our Adora, too," Geirskogul (Corner) added.

Brunhilde MM (Corner) clenched her fist and rallied her friends. "We're not finished with you, Quedesha. This is just the beginning. Next time, we're finishing this."

Dimension: DUA-16

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Birth Of A God)

It's the final phase of the battle royale. Athena and Madoka's combined light restored the powers of every able hero willing to fight. Sailor Moon and the Kuiper Senshi invoked their Golden forms again. Brunhilde restored her Silver Valkyrie form. Most of the Digimon were back in prime forms.

Gaiamon X, Golden Sedna, the Golden Kuipers, Metalla X, Houou X, Rose(mon) X, Kabuto X, Vulcan X, Shunoros X, Zephyr X, Brunhilde, Skuld, Kirito & Asuna (Corner), CyberLeomon, Bikkan, Soneila, Tikara, Davam, Guilkatomon, Renrukimon, and Inumuramon readied themselves for the last stand against Black Gaiamon X.

Gaiamon X quickly kicked things off and launched himself straight at Black Gaiamon X.

"Come forth and meet your demise!" Black Gaiamon X goaded him to attack.

Gaiamon X and Black Gaiamon X collided head-on, unleashing a massive explosion of light that shook the area.

Boom!

Gaiamon X and Black Gaiamon X delivered a flurry of combos with punches and kicks. Black Gaiamon X tried landing a punch, but Gaiamon X swiftly dodged and pounded Black Gaiamon X's back.

"Sora, Mimi! Go!" Gaiamon X called forth Houou X and Rose(mon) X.

Houou X and Rose(mon) X landed a double kick to Black Gaiamon X's chin, which barely fazed him, but Gaiamon X came in and uppercut him into the air. Houou X fired phoenix energy blasts and Rose(mon) X spread petal cannon Ki blasts on Black Gaiamon X.

"It's our turn!" Kirito and Asuna (Corner) declared, preparing their finishing combo attack.

Kirito and Asuna (Corner) rushed forward and delivered a Climhazzard with their swords. They landed 9,999 x 2 damage to Black Gaiamon X.

Black Gaiamon X countered by unleashing Blades of Judgment, firing blades from portals at them and the others. Kirito & Asuna, the other Digidestined Ascendants (Kabuto X, Vulcan X, Shunoros X, & Zephyr X), and the fused Kai Warriors (CyberLeomon, Bikkan, Soneila, Tikara, & Davam) blocked and destroyed the sword barrage.

"CURSE YOU, MORTAL INSECTS!" Black Gaiamon X bellowed, growing frustrated with smaller beings wiping out his divine attacks.

"How about kissing our ass, you crybaby?!" Tikara tapped, yanking down her pants and flashing her butt at Black Gaiamon X.

"Not really an appropriate time to do that!" Davam pulled up Tikara's pants.

"Focus, you two!" CyberLeomon barked at Tikara.

Houou X, Rose(mon) X, Kabuto X, Vulcan X, Shunoros X, and Zephyr X unleashed blasts from one side. CyberLeomon, Bikkan, Soneila, Tikara, and Davam fired shots from another. They targeted and took down Black Gaiamon X's remaining sword summons. Then, they launched their attacks toward Black Gaiamon X, dealing damage to him.

The Golden Kuipers group attacked Black Gaiamon X. Golden Ixion fired a barrage of poisonous darts. After repelling the poison darts, Black Gaiamon X caught Golden Eris' lasso and threw her aside. Golden Orcus opened up black holes and fired beams from them, which blasted him. Golden Quaoar summoned a barrage of vines and acidic roses. Black Gaiamon X summoned his scythe and sliced them apart into explosive pieces. Then, Golden Varuna swooped down, hitting him with a combined charged beam from Mjolnir and Stormbreaker. Golden Varuna's Berserker Ball pushed Black Gaiamon X back. Golden Sedna then stepped in and knocked him into the air with her Sedna Arctic Breeze.

However, Golden Sedna didn't stop there as she flew up and slashed him with her trident. Black Gaiamon X attempted to counter with his scythe, but Sedna knocked his weapon away with her scythe.

"Athena's given us all strength to defeat you!" Golden Sedna declared as she smashed her trident into Black Gaiamon X's face. She looked up and saw Metalla X charging up for one of his signature attacks. "He's yours, Yamato!"

"Hey, asshole! Up here!" Metalla X yelled out from above, catching Black Gaiamon X's attention.

Black Gaiamon X watched as Metalla X had both hands pushed forward.

"Cram this down your fucking throat! This one's for you, Athena!" Metalla X then fired off a massive Final Blaze attack that collided with Black Gaiamon X.

As he rode along with the beam, Black Gaiamon X crashed hard and hit the ground. The beam impacted and exploded on contact with Black Gaiamon X. As the smoke stirred, Black Gaiamon X emerged slightly hurt but not yet defeated.

Suddenly, a large red sphere materialized in Guilkatomon's hands.

"Oh, son of a…!" Black Gaiamon X cursed but was immediately cut off as Guilkatomon blasted him head-on with a full-powered Hazard Wave.

Catching the red wave with one hand, Black Gaiamon X tried to overcome and reverse Guilkatomon's attack. He shoved his other hand and grabbed the red wave, attempting to send it back at the Advanced Biomerged warrior.

Just then, Renrukimon, Terryamon, and Inumuramon quickly attacked Black Gaiamon X from behind. Inumuramon slashed Black Gaiamon X's back with his Byakko Fang sword. Terryamon bashed the back of Black Gaiamon X's head with his Genbu Seed shield. Renrukimon brought out her Seiryuu Scale blades, hitting them all over Black Gaiamon X's backside.

"Insects… INSECTS! THE LOT OF YOU!" Black Gaiamon X roared, unleashing a wave that easily knocked away the Advanced Biomerged Tamers.

However, Guilkatomon managed to hold his ground and blasted Black Gaiamon X with his Hazard Wave.

After being hit with Guilkatomon's attack, Black Gaiamon X backed off slightly hurt. This disoriented Black Gaiamon X enough for Gaiamon X to slam into him. The two immediately locked up and grappled in an intense power struggle.

"Mortals don't deserve to live!" Black Gaiamon X shouted.

"They deserve to choose for themselves!" Gaiamon X retorted while grabbing Black Gaiamon X's face and plowing him to the ground. He attempted to crush Black Gaiamon X with his bare hands.

"Then you will die with them!" Black Gaiamon X freed himself by grabbing Gaiamon X's arm and tossing him to the side. "JOIN THEM AND THE NEOPHYTE TO EXTINCTION!" He threw verbal salt on the wound that was Athena's sacrifice.

Black Gaiamon X then unleashed Black Terra Ryuken Buster. The powerful dark beam reached Gaiamon X, but Gaiamon X dodged it as the beam impacted the ground and exploded in the distance.

"Holy crap, that was close!" KaiserGreymon cried out.

"Nice dodge, Gaiamon X!" Shoutmon called out.

"Man the fight with Paradixalmon is nothing compared to this!" Taiki exclaimed.

"Stay on him, Gaiamon X!" Masaru hollered out to the Xros Ascendant. "Man if only I can get in there!"

"You and me both, Aniki!" ShineGreymon BM excitedly said.

Elsewhere, Kaimodosu X AM gathered the Ascendant Digidestined, Kensuke's Digimon Army, Legendary Warriors, and DATS crew to confront the Gates of (Z)amas. The source of Zamasmon's Zero Dawn Plan was left to fend for itself. The three dragon heads roared in unison and amassed energy spheres inside their mouths.

"We've got to close these gates!" Kaimodosu X AM declared.

"Leave the dragons to us! Ready, ShineGreymon?!" Masaru roared.

"Let's knock them back to sleep, Aniki!" ShineGreymon BM replied as he powered up.

The draconic Black Omega X shifted its sights on Masaru and ShineGreymon BM. It fired at blast toward them, but the duo dodged and clenched their fists together. As their hands burned with fiery energy, they passionately yelled out and landed a double punch to the draconian Black Omega X. The punch dealt a damaging blow to the central head as their combined force cracked its head armor and sent it flailing into the portal.

"Now, take the other two down!" Kaimodosu X AM yelled as she and the Ascendant Digidestined ganged up on the draconian Black Angemon X.

Houou X, Rose(mon) X, Kabuto X, Vulcan X, Shunoros X, and Zephyr X unleashed attacks on the draconian Black Angemon X. The dragon roared and fired random blasts, but they swerved around and threw off its momentum. Houou X cried out and caught the dragon with a fiery kick to its face, dealing a damaging blow. Kaimodosu X AM then cupped her hands forward and fired her own Tsunami Wave that knocked the draconian Black Angemon X into its portal.

The Legendary Warriors, minus KaiserGreymon, and Kensuke's Digimon army managed to push back the draconian Black Dramon X. Try as it might, the dragon was shoved into its portal after MagnaGarurumon, YamiLeomon, OmegaTitaniamon, and CyberBeelzemon beat it down to submission.

"Mastemon, now!" Meryl beckoned her Digimon to combine her dark and light powers to form a gate to close the Gates of (Z)amas with Chaos Degradation.

Once Mastemon closed the dragon's gates, Madoka arrived in time to seal up the gate portals for good.

"There, that'll keep them from ever breaching another dimension," Madoka stated.

"Yeah, now it can't take anyone else as it did to Athena and PinkPatamon!" Meryl added.

"And that's taken care of!" Houou X said.

"All that's left is Zamasmon himself," Vulcan X added. "If they don't defeat him, there's a likely chance he'll reopen the seals and revive his Zero Dawn Plan."

"C'mon, Tai! You and the others need to beat Zamasmon now!" Kaimodosu X AM called out to her father figure.

Just then, both Gaiamon X and Black Gaiamon X powered up with fiery auras, which vaporized their surroundings. As their energies hit their peak, they transformed into gigantic dragons.

Gaiamon X looked like a metal-bodied dragon with Gaiamon X's white armor and traits of White Kyurem. He wore a draconic-horn helmet similar to Unicorn Gundam, and tufts of cyan hair appeared up through his neck. He became Vast White Mode.

Black Gaiamon X became a black metal-bodied dragon with Black Gaiamon X's black armor and traits of Black Kyurem, only that the icy details meshed in his purple skin instead of light blue. His draconic face was light green like Zamasmon's. He wore a draconic-horn helmet similar to Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee, and tufts of white hair appeared up through his neck. He became Deep Black Mode.

The opposing dragons gave mighty roars and charged at each other. Black Gaiamon X DBM landed the first blow to the face at Gaiamon X VWM, but Gaiamon X VWM punched back and delivered a devastating bite to the neck. Gaiamon X VWM threw his enemy aside.

Black Gaiamon X DBM recovered and unleashed Lightning of Absolution, but then black holes formed around him. Black Gaiamon X DBM turned and noticed Golden Orcus summoning black holes to suck the lightning in and reflected it back at Black Gaiamon X DBM, which damaged him.

"Yeah! That's for brainwashing and turning me against my own friends! They told me all that happened, jackass!" Golden Orcus flicked her tongue at him. "Pffft!"

Black Gaiamon X DBM's breakdown worsened. DAMN THEM! I WON'T LET THIS ALL GO UNPUNISHED!

"Zamasmon, it's time to end this!" Madoka called out, flying over Black Gaiamon X DBM's back.

Madoka launched thousands of arrows at Black Gaiamon X DBM.

Renrukimon combined her Seiryuu Scale with her right foot, covering her leg and boot in sharp blades. She then spun around, landing her Seiryuu Kick, which was a fierce roundhouse across Black Gaiamon X DBM's face.

"Think I'm done yet with you?! Have another, dickface!" Metalla X fired his Final Blaze.

"We won't rest until you're gone, Zamasmon!" Guilkatomon fired his Hazard Wave.

Golden Sedna hurled large icicle spears. "This one's for my daughter!"

All of these attacks damaged the black dragon.

Black Gaiamon X DBM fired his Light of Judgment beam and Forsaken from his mouth at them, but they dodged.

"Hey, don't leave me out of the fun, guys!" Silver Brunhilde called out, summoning and riding on Grani. "MetalSeadramon, go for it!" She took out her Digivice, granting MetalSeadramon to power to Mega Evolve into Leviamon.

Leviamon lunged at Black Gaiamon X DBM and bit into his shoulder. Black Gaiamon X DBM roared in pain, but fought back and tossed Leviamon aside.

Black Gaiamon X DBM prepared his Light of Judgment and launched it straight for Silver Brunhilde & Grani.

"Not so fast, jackass!" Silver Brunhilde retorted, taking out a silver gem in her right hand. She invoked her Moon Force Crystal and fired an equally powerful beam at Black Gaiamon X DBM for another beam struggle. "Yeah, you preach how you're higher above us mortals?! Well, hate to break it to you, but I'm the reincarnation of a demi-goddess! I've met and fought with gods. And let me be the first to say you're the biggest pretentious prick of a god I've ever met in my life!"

"Yeah, verbally tear him into pieces, Kotori. That'll shatter his ego!" Leviamon cheered him on.

"And for your information everyone. Yes, that's my girlfriend telling off the big bad evil god," YamiLeomon informed everyone near him.

"Yeah, she's pretty incredible," MagnaGarurumon nodded.

In the end, Silver Brunhilde won and pushed the beam at Black Gaiamon X DBM, dealing him with heavy damage.

"Himura, Skuld, you're up! Nail him!" Silver Brunhilde called up her friend.

"Here I come!" Inumuramon hollered.

Obsidian Skuld brandished her scythe.

Inumuramon followed up and unleashed his Byakko Fang while evading Black Gaiamon X DBM's claw attacks. Obsidian Skuld attacked Black Gaiamon X from the side with her scythe. As Black Gaiamon X prepared to disarm them, Skuld shot out chains and bound his arms.

"Hurry! I can only hold him for so long!" Obsidian Skuld called out to her Valkyrie leader.

Silver Brunhilde bounced off Grani and used her Moon Force Crystal to blast Black Gaiamon X DBM's right eye. She raised her hand and summoned a pillar of blue flames, which formed into a silver flame spear.

"Outta the way, you two!" Silver Brunhilde called out, throwing down her Silver Gungnir, which struck Black Gaiamon X DBM's side.

Seething, Black Gaiamon X DBM painfully roared out. After ripping out the spear, he charged to full power and unleashed a barrage of Holy Wraths at Gaiamon X VWM and the others. However, Gaiamon X VWM roared back, charging to full power and unleashed large cyan spheres that matched the Holy Wraths' size and power. Both sides collided, igniting explosions with both dragons taking a lot of damage from the explosive wave. The rest of the combatants took cover and retreated to recover.

Because of this, both Gaiamon X VWM and Black Gaiamon X DBM turned back to their normal forms as both planted their feet to the ground.

Meanwhile, Golden Moon, Houou Mars, and Madoka flew into the air to confront the Zamasmon clouds. The Zamasmon cloud faces cackled maniacally at the three magical women. The faces spewed bullets of destructive blasts at the three.

Madoka fired her arrow barrage, taking out as many of the blasts. Houou Mars summoned a giant fire cloak, absorbing the beams and vaporizing most of the faces. Golden Moon activated her Silver Crystal and cleared out the blasts from hitting the others. Golden Moon also cleansed the sky and vaporized the maniacal faces.

"These faces are becoming a nuisance!" Houou Mars voiced her annoyance at the Zamasmon cloud faces.

'You're not alone in that regard. Let's wipe these smiles off their faces.' The Houou telepathically encouraged her.

Madoka launched a barrage of arrows that pierced and destroyed some of the Zamasmon cloud faces.

Houou Mars wiped out many Zamasmon cloud faces with her cosmic flame waves. As more faces reformed, she enveloped herself in a phoenix cloak and shot through the faces, unleashing her Houou Bullet to destroy the faces.

Golden Moon combined her golden power and the Silver Crystal to cleanse the sky of the Zamasmon faces.

"They just keep coming!" Madoka cried out.

"Then, we're going to keep hitting them until they can't come back," Golden Moon firmly stated. "The only way to get rid of them is if Gaiamon X can finish off Zamasmon."

"That's a good conclusion to draw from. Destroy the main source and these extensions will cease!" Houou Mars unleashed cosmic flames at the Zamasmon faces as their blood-curdling wails filled the sky.

"Look! Zamasmon's down!" Madoka noticed Black Gaiamon X slowly rising and seething with anger.

"It has to be over, I hope," Golden Moon concentrated on the Zamasmon faces and the ongoing battle beneath them.

"I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU!" Black Gaiamon X bellowed with burning rage. "These wounds will not last! I am a god! I am invincible!" Black Gaiamon X boasted despite the damage he has taken to this point.

"You aren't an invincible god anymore and you'll never get the number of mortals down to zero now!" Gaiamon X lambasted him. "You've had to rely on artificial dolls based on mortals to amp yourself up!"

Black Gaiamon X sneered. "You mortals are all the same! Led astray by your own ignorance! Do you think that's a revelation that these Black Ascendant dolls will always be a part of me?! Of course, they will! Taichi included! You Ascendants are mortals but yet have gained divine power. You've become stronger than most deities. Thus, the powers who created the cosmos of our worlds created something they cannot control. Those who cannot control those worlds and cannot become gods of them make the Ascendants the symbol of the failure of the Digi-Deities! In incorporating the flesh of these dolls into my being, I have attained the sins of a mortal kind and the failure of divinity! This way they may never be repeated! The is the true duty of a god!"

"You always got an answer for everything, huh?"

"Of course, that's why I do this! For the good of the cosmos! For creation!" Black Gaiamon X started crying. Tears formed out of the tear ducts in his eyes.

"Ugh, are you crying?!"

"I am! And proudly so! My tears will sanctify this cursed world first!" Black Gaiamon X openly declared as a thick purple aura expanded over him. The raw energies from this glowing divine aura coursed through him. "Now, you must be expunged!"

Black Gaiamon X went beyond berserk and increased his height and muscles. He stood a towering 15-feet tall. His half-green complexion became fully purple. His demonic teeth formed and gritted, conveying frustration. He became Black Gaiamon X Berserker Mode. "I shall create a pure and perfect multiverse made claim by Zamasmon's hand!"

"I don't think so!" Gaiamon X yelled in defiance against the rogue deity. He flew forward to take on the savage deity.

By losing his focus, Black Gaiamon X BM sacrificed all of his defenses and energy blasts for more physical strength. Black Gaiamon X BM tried to squash Gaiamon X with his huge gooey fist and instead made a crater on the ground. But, Gaiamon X easily evaded by leaping up. He furiously kicked Black Gaiamon X BM all the way through a building.

Gaiamon X landed and found Dimitri's sword laying on the ground. He picked it up. With three minds formulating an idea in his head, the warrior came up with an idea.

As Gaiamon X landed on the ground, he shouted out while lifting his sword, "Everyone, lend me your energy!"

Knowing what Gaiamon X's request meant, everyone instinctively agreed without question. Every ally raised their hands and sent their energies as if helping to build the Life Bomb. Their energies were sent directly to Gaiamon X. Gaiamon X's blade glowed in a bright cyan blue light. It increased in length to become a large cyan blue sword, approximately eight feet in length. Utilizing everyone's energies, he forged the Life Bomb Blade (or the Genki Blade).

Black Gaiamon X BM got up and saw this. Roaring like a mindless lunatic, Black Gaiamon X BM sprinted and charged with reckless abandon. He formed rosé hand blades to attack Gaiamon X with. Gaiamon X rushed and attacked his enemy with the Life Bomb Blade, yet Black Gaiamon X tried to block it with his huge hands.

"NO! YOU'RE A MERE MORTAL!"

Gaiamon X shouted while pushing through the Life Bomb Blade into Black Gaiamon X, "IT'S NOT ABOUT GODS OR MORTALS! I WON'T LOSE TO SOMEONE WHO WON'T BELIEVE IN ANYONE BUT HIMSELF!" He slashed through and shattered Black Gaiamon X's hand blades. He then shoved the Life Bomb Blade through Black Gaiamon X's lower abdomen.

"WHO CAN YOU BE THIS STRONG?! THIS ENERGY OF YOURS FEELS CHAOTIC! SO MANY DIFFERENT ENERGIES CONTRADICTING!"

"THIS IS THE POWER OF MORTALS FIGHTING FOR EACH OTHER!"

"INSOLENCE! YOU STRIKE A GOD?! AND RETALIATE AGAINST JUSTICE?!" Black Gaiamon X BM ranted furiously, "I AM JUSTICE INCARNATE! I AM JUSTICE SUPREME!"

"WHO FUCKING CARES ABOUT YOUR JUSTICE!" Gaiamon X yelled as he finally cut upward with the Life Bomb Blade, slicing Black Gaiamon X's body and soul in half.

"BUT, HOW?! HOW CAN THIS BE?!" Black Gaiamon X screamed as the memories of the mortals he tried helping flashed before his eyes. The very same mortals that rejected his divine healing. So, that's it… THIS?! THIS IS THE POWER OF MORTALS! THEY REJECT ME THEN AND REJECT ME NOW!

Black Gaiamon X BM screamed as his body burst into particles. Zamasmon ceased to exist. The Zamasmon clouds disappeared after Black Gaiamon X perished. The madness of the Renegade Guardian was no more.

Gaiamon X split back to Omega X, Angemon X, and Dramon X. At last, they have avenged Athena and PinkPatamon.

(End theme)

"It's over," Omega X panted hard, falling to one knee having exhausted himself.

"We defeated Zamasmon, but… at what cost? Not only has this dimension been wrecked, but we lost my daughter and PinkPatamon," Angemon X expressed sadness over Athena.

"I don't even feel satisfied despite kicking that bastard's ass. This feels too hollow a victory for me," Dramon X said, collapsing as Sedna and Orcus both caught him.

"There, we've got you, sweetie," Golden Orcus carried Dramon X on her shoulder.

Meryl cried over Angewomon and LadyDevimon's shoulders. "Athena's gone. I can't believe she and PinkPatamon are gone!" She shed more tears than she could ever produce.

"She ensured we'd all live, Miss Meryl," Angewomon reassured her.

"Yes, and with those Digicore things maybe we can return her to us," LadyDevimon reminded her.

Meryl looked up, making a crying ugly face. "REALLY?!"

Meryl's two Digimon partners nodded, trying their hardest to smile. "REALLY!"

Sedna approached Angemon X and hugged Angemon X. The loving couple mourned the losses of their precious future daughter and PinkPatamon.

The other Kuipers, Metalla X, the other Ascendant Digidestined, the Beast Tamers, Silver Brunhilde & Grani, Leviamon, Skuld, the Legendary Warriors, the Duelists, Team Xros Heart, Team Data Squad, the Appmon Chosen, and the others hurried over to meet with the Ascendant Triad, Sedna, and Orcus.

Golden Moon, Houou Mars, and Madoka also landed near the group, who helped alleviate Sedna, Angemon X, and Dramon X's grieving.

"Nobody wants to celebrate and how can I blame them?" Madoka said, crying and praying for Athena. "Thank you, Athena, for letting me make use of your beautiful wish."

"Wish? Yes, the Digicores," Metalla X remembered. "That last Shadow Dramon monster was destroyed. The Digicores should've been released from that thing's body."

"Can we use them to bring back Athena and PinkPatamon?!" Meryl asked aloud. "Please! We want our friends back!"

Sedna smiled sadly. "You're not the only one who wants them back."

"But, can they work now? Haven't they been tainted with negative energy?" Angemon X asked his father and the others.

"We won't know until we try," Omega X sighed.

"Are you looking for these?" A voice belonging to Beerusmon interjected as he, Whismon, Shintomon, Gowasmon, Rumsshimon, and Cusmon appeared before the group. Beerusmon walked forward with the four Digicores floating around him.

"And I do believe this belongs to you," Whismon tossed ObeliskMegaGargomon's gem to Dramon X.

Dramon X caught the gem and folded his fingers over it. "Thanks, now we've gotta find a place where no one can steal it again."

"And this mirror?" Cusmon asked, holding up RaPhoenixmon's Dragon Gazer Mirror.

"I'll take that. That belongs to my sister," Houou Mars took the mirror from Cusmon.

"You need to take better care of those enchanted objects. After all, they do carry the spirits of SliferGigaSeadramon, RaPhoenixmon, and ObeliskMegaGargomon," Whismon reminded them. "They're not meant to be treated like ordinary house items."

"Don't worry we'll find another place for the gem at least," Omega X reassured.

"Yeah, unless we want to put up with ObeliskMegaGargomon," Dramon X scoffed, withdrawing himself from the group.

"Ken, wait!" Golden Orcus called out as she followed Dramon X.

"Gowasmon, I think we've learned a valuable lesson here, haven't we?" Rumsshimon turned to the Digiverse 10 Supreme Digi-Deity. "Choose your successors more wisely."

Gowasmon sighed, realizing his gravest error was the lack of foresight of finding potential pupils. "Yes, I understand. I'll let this Zamasmon experience be a harsh lesson."

"Good! Maybe we can help pick your next successor?" Cusmon suggested. "I've got a few in mind."

"Thank you, but I'd like some time alone to reflect on my transgressions."

Shintomon reassured his father's Digiverse 10 counterpart. "Have no fear, Gowasmon. even us Digi-Deities are prone to making misjudgments. I know me and my father have made grave errors."

"Excuse me, I don't mean to be in a hurry, but our city's been left a mess," Haru motioned the group to the ravaged Tokyo caused by the Black Ascendant Triad. "Maybe you can help fix this?"

"Well, we do have the Digicores back. Let's see if they work," Omega X suggested.

"Don't bother, Taichi," Whismon interjected as he and Cusmon raised their staff. "This one's on us."

"Wait, you're not gonna reset time back, are you? Doing that will bring that Zamasmon bastard back!" Metalla X protested against this move.

"No, we're not rewinding time. Goodness no! Ho ho ho!" Whismon chortled in a light-hearted manner.

"We're going to restore this ruined city back to its original state and restore the people who've lost their lives," Cusmon winked.

"Yes, these people and their world were not meant to be destroyed, especially by invaders from another dimension," Whismon said as his and Cusmon's staffs glowed with divine light. "Ready, Cusmon?"

"Yep!"

With that, Whismon and Cusmon used their divine powers as they cast a wave that enveloped all of Tokyo. In no time, buildings were being restored. All damages were repaired. Even the people who lost their lives were returned to normal and their memories of the tragic events were erased by the Digital Angels' divine powers.

The Appmon Chosen watched awestruck and jubilant as their city and people were restored to their original state.

"Look! It's all fixed! These two restored our home, guys!" Gatchmon excitedly said.

"It's been all been restored! As if those monsters never even showed up!" Eri cried out, her eyes gleaming with happiness.

"Yeah, it's all good as new!" Dokamon gleamed.

Astra added, adding in his joy. "And our families should be free from those pods! This is surreal!"

Musimon hollered. "Yes, this is a miracle!"

Both Rei and Hackmon smiled coolly over their restored home.

"Looks all good as new," Whismon said. "And with that, we must take our leave."

"Besides don't you have a wish to make with these?" Beerusmon asked, pointing to the Digicores floating over him.

"Yeah, to revive Athena and PinkPatamon," Metalla X nodded.

"Wait a minute, we should wait for brother," Sedna suggested.

"Don't worry you friend, Sailor Orcus, went to go get him," Omega X said.

xxxxx

Isolating himself from the others, Dramon X stared off at the restored Tokyo home of the Appmon Chosen. The city somewhat reminded him of home. Try as he might, he couldn't get Athena off his mind.

"I couldn't save you, Athena…" Dramon X gritted, clenching his fist. "Damn it all. Why do I keep losing them all?!"

"KEN!" Orcus called out, breaking Dramon X's secluded train of thought.

Startled, Dramon X turned around as Sailor Orcus, CyberBeelzemon, Titaniamon, OmegaShoutmon, and Utopia came to pick him up.

"We're leaving, Ken. We can't stay here much longer," Titaniamon firmly stated.

"Well, we could, but y'know we have our own home to go back to," Shoutmon said.

"Look, Ken. She's not gone forever," Orcus approached and took him by the hands. "She can come back with those Digicores."

"If they work…"

"Don't think so negative, Ken. After all, you and my friends saved me just now. Apparently, I was turned into some feminized Tsukuyomimon Death Mode and just the thought of that… ugh, scary!" Orcus became disturbed by the notion she was converted into one of Ken's living and breathing worst nightmares. "But I'm ok now thanks to you. Athena and PinkPatamon will be back sooner than later, ok?"

Hearing this from Orcus, Dramon X felt his broken heart being pieced together. He raised his head and smiled at her face.

"C'mon, they're waiting for us, Ken."

"Yeah, I'm ready."

(Cue Gurren Lagann OST - Someone's Cursing Someone Else)

A portal opened up and walking out of it was the anomalous figure, who has orchestrated and solely responsible for the recent aberrations that have plagued the Nexus. He had just returned from causing havoc across multiple universes and leaving his mark on them.

He pivoted over to numerous visuals displaying the multiple worlds he had ravaged but left intact.

"Oh, so boring," the being nearly wanted to yawn, but felt no need to. "Visiting these worlds and fighting their heroes was fun while it lasted. But all just a time waster for me. I didn't even feel like purging their worlds." His face morphed as white eyes and a straight line that doubled as his mouth appeared on his face, giving him an appearance akin to the Anti-Spiral leader.

The visuals displayed the following worlds: Universe-DCAU (Justice League Unlimited), Universe-NAR-99 (Naruto), Universe-OP-97 (One Piece), Universe-FFVII-97 (Final Fantasy VII), Universe-KH (Kingdom Hearts), Universe-FT-06 (Fairy Tail), Universe-BLCH-01 (Bleach), Universe-SE-08 (Soul Eater), Universe-DBU-84 (Dragon Ball/Z (Kai)/Super), Universe-DBU/GT-84 (Dragon Ball/Z/GT), Universe-TFP-10 (Transformers Prime), Universe-AoT-09 (Attack on Titan), Universe-FFXV-16 (Final Fantasy XV), Universe-SMC-14 (Sailor Moon Crystal), Universe-HXH-98 (Hunter x Hunter), Universe-VLD-16 (Voltron: Legendary Defender), Universe-SW-77 (Star Wars), Universe-HP-97 (Harry Potter), Universe-LoTR (Middle-earth), Universe-SJ-01 (Samurai Jack), Universe-KND-02 (Codename: Kids Next Door), Universe-TFA-07 (Transformers Animated), Universe-YJ-10 (Young Justice), Universe-TMNT-12 (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2012 Series)), Universe-GF-12 (Gravity Falls), Universe-DT-17 (Ducktales (2017 Series)), Universe-MvC-96 (Marvel vs. Capcom), Universe-SM-02 (Raimi's Spider-Man Trilogy), Universe-Earth-199999 (Marvel Cinematic Universe), Universe-G00-07 (Gundam 00), Universe-AS-99 (Afro Samurai), Universe-MHA-14 (My Hero Academia), Universe-OPM-09 (One-Punch Man), Universe-RWBY-13 (RWBY), Universe-RE-96 (Resident Evil), Universe-Okami-06 (Okami), Universe-Persona-96 (Persona series), Universe-DW-97 (Dynasty Warriors), Universe-MM-79 (Mad Max), Universe-BlazBlue-08 (BlazBlue), Universe-RK-12 (Rurouni Kenshin (Live Action Films)), Universe-GoT-11 (Game of Thrones), Universe-ST-16 (Stranger Things), and among countless other worlds. Scenes of defeated and broken heroes (and villains) are shown on these screens, all of which the anomalous being was responsible for.

"So many worlds, so little time. I'll spare you all for the time being. But once I get back from conducting some business, I'll come by, say hello, and finish the job," Zeed X cracked his back and popped his knuckles. "Ah, that felt good! Yes, onto the matter of hand!"

Before taking his leave, another portal opened. From it, another Zeed X walked out. He approached the Zeed X who anticipated his arrival.

Zeed X addressed his doppelganger. "I take it everything went well with the Zenomnimon and his assembly?"

The other Zeed X nodded. "Indeed, I tested the destruction gods and measured the baby god's power."

"And?"

"The destruction gods were bothersome, but powerful fighters. The baby god wasn't to be underestimated, but nothing I couldn't handle. I left as soon as they rescued him."

Nodding, Zeed X placed a hand on his doppelganger and absorbed him. "I'll process every piece of information you've acquired. Yes, so they're about to hold an assembly. Eh, no matter. Zamasmon, Nyarla, and the Imaginalists are gone now, leaving the Rebellious Witch left. I'll have to rendezvous with her in the MillenniRealm." He already had a good idea of R. Homura's true intentions. His face formed a creepy grin as it faded and became replaced with a deadpan expression. "Now to conduct some business."

Dimension: DF-811

By Dimitri's request, the group was transported to his future timeline via Whismon and Beerusmon. Shintomon, Gowasmon, Rumsshimon, and Cusmon returned to their respective deity planes.

"I suppose we'll leave the rest to you then," Whismon said as Beerusmon placed the Digicores down. "Beerusmon, shall we make our leave now?"

"Yeah, we've intervened enough for today," Beerusmon yawned a bit. He turned over to Omega X and Metalla X. "And you two owe us big for this! You better have a feast worthy of a thousand kings for me the next time we meet!"

Mimi quickly stood in Beerusmon's way. "Don't worry! I promise we'll make it up to you, Lord Beerusmon! In fact, I'll find us the best places overseas!"

"Y-Yeah, you won't be disappointed!" Palmon reassured him.

"We look forward to it, Miss Mimi," Whismon said. "Come, Lord Beerusmon. Let's go back."

"Remember to keep that promise," Beerusmon scoffed as Whismon tapped his staff, teleporting them out of Dimitri's future world.

Omega X, Metalla X, Angemon X, Dramon X, and Sedna formed a circle over the four Digicores. They stared at the mystic orbs knowing what their first wish would be.

"Ready to give this a shot?" Omega X asked them.

"After we make the wish to revive Athena and PinkPatamon, we should use the other wishes to restore your future timeline to before the Black Ascendants attacked and revive the future Mimi," Sedna suggested.

Mimi overheard. "I like the sound of that. I'd like to finally meet my future self."

"Sure," Angemon X was delighted to hear this suggestion.

"If the Digicores don't work, we can use the Silver Crystal," Sailor Moon offered them a second option to restore all that Dimitri had lost.

"Thank you, Sailor Moon," Angemon X said. "All of you, thank you for everything. You don't know how much this means to me."

"Well? Why don't we just get this over with? Let's bring little Athena and PinkPatamon!" Madoka called out cheerfully.

"Bring back Athena and PinkPatamon!" Meryl cheered.

Dramon X grew anxious, but soon calmed once Sailor Orcus grasped his hand. She nodded to him and he genuinely smiled.

"Ok, here goes! Digicores, heed my call! I summon the great spirit within you!" Omega X called forth SliferGigaSeadramon's spirit to emerge.

A few seconds pass and the Digicores remained still. There were no signs of activity from the mystical orbs. The group waited anxiously, but the longer they waited the more worried they became. And the longer they waited, the sooner a big hole opened up behind them.

(Cue Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep - Xehanort)

Every Ascendant, Digimon, and energy sensitive warrior turned toward this unknown source of chaotic energy. Dramon X watched as something grabbed Sailor Orcus and pulled her back.

"KEN!" Orcus screamed.

"CHRISTINA!" Dramon X shouted, his mouth and eyes agaped as he and the others watched something resembling a giant black hand pulling Orcus away.

"ORCUS?!" Sedna and the Kuipers cried out in unison.

"Something's pulling in Orcus!" Sora shouted.

"But, what?! It can't be Zamasmon!" Angemon X exclaimed.

"It's not…!" Omega X gritted. "This energy is different. It doesn't belong to anyone I know! I can't discern who this is!"

"Hang on, Christina!" Dramon X yelled out as he, Sedna, and the Kuipers beelined over to pull Orcus toward them.

However, the source behind this mysterious hand repelled them with a shockwave effortlessly.

"Brace yourselves, everyone!" Sailor Mars shouted.

'This ambiguous power feels similar to ChaosMillenniummon, but on a grander scale! We must be on our guard!' The Houou warned Mars while telepathically spreading her distress message to Sailor Moon, the Beast Tamers, the Legendary Warriors, Brunhilde, and the Duelists.

"A power similar to ChaosMillenniummon?!" Guilkatomon cried out in alarm.

"You've got to be kidding!" Yugi exclaimed.

"But it can't be Charon or Millenniummon… who is this?" Sailor Moon whispered fearfully as the dark and chaotic energies from the portal became so violent that something else finally emerged from the doorway.

Everyone present can now feel this dangerous anomalous power. The portal continued to keep rumbling as this anomalous individual yanked himself out of the Nexus. The anomalous figure descended from the portal. His mere presence spread an unsettling vibe that caused everyone to freeze.

Sailor Orcus looked down in terror, unable to utter a word at the entity whose presence caused her friends to not even move.

The being resembled a humanoid figure standing an unimposing 5'7 feet tall. He has short gray hair. His facial features was pale white like a ghost. He looked middle-aged yet youthful in his outward appearance. He wore light, organic armor down to his legs, which are colored maroon and cobalt. His arms and neck are colored grayish-pale green. He has clawed feet. His very figure looked like a gijinka ZeedMillenniummon and somewhat an older version of Ryo Akiyama turned evil.

The first to break the silence was Sedna, who recognized his face.

"Ryo?!" Sedna yelled out before gasping and realizing this wasn't her fellow dimension crosser. "No, you're not him, but you look like him!"

"You're right! He does look like Ryo!" Guilkatomon exclaimed.

"Ugh, why wear his face? Of all the guys to pick a face…" Renrukimon muttered with disdain.

"Now isn't the time, Rika," Terryamon said in Henry's tone.

"Whoever he is, his energy is so similar to Chaos and Millenniummon," Sailor Mars shuddered, probing the anomalous being's aura. "Yet I don't feel anything. It's like there's… emptiness."

"The fire Senshi's right. I can't discern any Ki from him and he's certainly no Artificial," Metalla X scowled.

"Who are you?!" Omega X demanded from the anomalous being.

"Yeah, and how dare you interrupt our summoning!" Angemon X exclaimed.

"Wait, what if… what if this guy is behind all the anomalous agents we've been trying to get rid of?" Madoka deduced, painstakingly observing and reading the entity's presence.

The anomalous figure answered them with a low and sharp voice, "You are correct, Madoka Kaname. I am the one responsible for the agents you Triad heroes have had to clean up." He then turns to Omega X, "We finally meet, DFKai version of Omega X. You remind me of the warrior called The One."

"The One? Who the hell is that?" Omega X was confounded.

"He's the original Omega X, but never mind that. I'm here to congratulate you for purging all of my anomalous agents, including that deluded fool Zamasmon," the being calmly stated. "Your friends have already cleared their stages and beaten the Imaginalists. The Rebellious Witch is on the run, but we shall meet very soon."

"Wait, then Homura and the others are ok!" Madoka was elated to hear her friends managing to defeat R. Homura, Saitou, and company.

"Then, Max and Mana have been rescued," Omega X said.

"They're safe… for now," the being replied. "Their victory much like yours will be short-lived."

Having heard enough, Metalla X lunged at the being and landed a punch to him.

"Why don't you just shut the hell…?!" Metalla X blinked in shock as the anomalous being was behind him. "What?!" How did the hell did he get behind me so fast?!

"Oh, such a rash one, Yamato. Oh wait, the original Metalla X doesn't have a 'Yamato' persona." The being replied, walking away from Metalla X and ignoring him.

"You better stay back!" Angemon X stood in the being's way. "We were going to bring back my daughter and restore my future until you interrupted!"

The being chuckled, "We will have the eventual time to have a personal battle, Angemon X. I do recall I once easily killed the original Angemon X before he was brought back."

"Original Angemon X? Just what are you talking about?!" Angemon X was confused by the being's apparent familiarity with him.

Sedna gasped. "Don't tell me… he actually went to the original DF-616 dimension?"

Upon hearing this, the others looked at Sedna in confusion.

"Yes, and that Angemon X doesn't have Sedna as a love interest." The being replied.

"Wait, Karin. What do you mean original DF-616?" Angemon X asked the Kuiper leader.

"It's the DF-616 dimension that existed before yours. Otherwise called DF-616 Prime," Sedna revealed. "I...I didn't… No, I wasn't supposed to tell by orders of Lady Cosmos herself, and even a being called Goddess Moinanea."

"Goddess Moinanea?" Mimi queried.

"She's a Digi-Deity who has no counterpart in your DF-616 universe," the anomalous being answered. He noticed Guilkatomon and the other Advanced Biomergers advancing on him.

"Ok, you freak. That's as far as you go," Guilkatomon warned the entity.

"Ah, Takato Matsuda of YYGDM-01. You are much more powerful and prominent than the one from DF-616 Prime. He lacked the forms derived from Beast Spirit, Shining Mode, and Guilkatomon."

"What the hell?! Did this guy do a complete background check on all of us?!" Renrukimon was flabbergasted.

"This is deeply disturbing," Terryamon muttered.

"That's right Rika, and the Henry of DF-616 Prime is paired with the Dorothy of that dimension." The being responded.

Inumuramon addressed the being. "Hey, what do you know about me?"

"You don't exist in DF-616 Prime. However back then; a past counterpart of you, Kotori, Yui, Philippe, and a character named Jiraiya from an independent dimension bestowed your energies for the Universal Life Bomb that killed me." The being replied to Inumuramon.

"Yo, another me out there helped get rid of you before?! Hah, I'm too awesome to be confined to one universe!" Brunhilde boasted.

"Yet, that dimension's you and Himura don't even have Norse ancestry." The being taunted.

"C'mon, you don't gotta be a dick about it."

"Kotori," Skuld stopped Brunhilde.

Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars tried to intercept the anomalous figure. Moon prepared to use her Silver Crystal. Mars prepared to invoke the Houou's power.

"Ah yes, Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars of dimension YYGDM-01. Future Neo-Queen Serenity, you're an obvious threat as long as you wield the Silver Crystal and you also possess the power to invoke Valkyrie armors. Mars, your other many counterparts are mere weaklings compared to you. In the YYGDM-01 universe, you're quite the unique specimen. You possess the Houou's cosmic power, enough to boost your threat levels to Omega status and allow yourself to fight alongside the princess you've sworn to protect. But even with the Houou apart of you, you won't be a difference maker as long as I'm here. Even you have your limits."

Moon frowned at the being. "I don't like you know too much about us."

Mars nodded, sensing emptiness from the being. "Yeah, it's creepy. And you best keep back."

The Houou telepathically warned Moon and Mars. 'He's right. Even with as much power I wield, this being is on a level beyond ChaosMillenniummon and Black Gaiamon X.'

"We're not fighting him alone, Houou," Mars said, cautiously watching the being pass by her and Moon.

"The fact you were defeated before tells us you're not infallible," Yugi said.

"Want an interesting nugget of information, Yugi Mutou? DF-616 Prime also has Sailor Moon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu Yu Hakusho, Tenchi Muyo, Cardcaptor Sakura, and even Inuyasha co-exist in its dimension? You can say that this old dimension is the forerunner before the existence of the Triad dimensions."

"What?! All those other characters existed in that dimension?!" Sailor Eris exclaimed.

"That universe almost seems like if our dimension and the DF-616 were to combine into one," Sailor Ixion said.

(End theme)

"Ok, that's nice and all, guys, but there's just one teeny, tiny problem…" Sailor Orcus chimed in before screaming aloud. "GET ME THE HELL DOWN HERE!" She tried breaking loose from the giant hand still holding her.

(Cue Guilty Crown - Another Side 02 - Track 5)

"Hang on, Christina!" Dramon X yelled out as he, CyberBeelzemon, Titaniamon, Utopia, and OmegaShoutmon went to retrieve her.

"Hell yeah! My friends come to my rescue! In your face, jerk!" Sailor Orcus taunted the being.

"And don't mind if I cut down this tree stump of a hand," Sailor Varuna summoned her battle axe to chop down the giant hand.

However, with a mere eyeblink, the being activated the giant hand's defenses. A hundred black spikes came shooting out of the hand. These spikes quickly pierced, striking Dramon X and his Accel Digimon & Duel Monster army down.

"KEN!" Sedna screamed in horror.

"NO! KEN!" Orcus cried out.

As the spikes came shooting at Varuna, the Kuiper barely dodged using her Flash Step movements.

"Holy hell, that was close!" Varuna panted hard.

Of the ones who were shot down, Dramon X was the first to recover as he stood. His white Ascendant God aura burned the spikes that pierced his whole body. He shot a fearsome gaze toward the being's direction.

"Kensuke Rainer. Do you remember?" The anomalous figure raised the palm of his hand. This sent a force that affected Dramon X's mind.

Suddenly, Dramon X's head started shaking, as if a flood of lost memories are coming back to him. His mentality deteriorated as he let out a bloodcurdling scream. As a result of this, Dramon X splits into Kensuke and Veemon, the latter was knocked away and left lying unconscious next to Kensuke's other partners. He saw a big 3D Zeed X face laughing inside his mind as the being opened his mouth big enough to swallow his head space.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"KEN!" Sedna and Orcus screamed in horror.

"Ken, what's wrong?!" Angemon X called out to him.

"What's he doing to you?!" Omega X yelled toward him.

Kensuke's berserk rage from that brutal mental attack transformed into a massive crystalline ice dragon. He lets out a dimensional roar that shook the entire DF-811 dimension.

"Oh god, Ken! What's happened to him?!" Omega X was taken aback by this horrific event.

Everyone else had shocked reactions toward this twisted turn of events.

"This is terrible…!" Sailor Moon became horrified.

"Ken! I can't believe that guy did this to him!" Guilkatomon exclaimed.

"Guys, this isn't the first time he's been turned to this dragon form!" Sedna revealed.

Varuna and Quaoar both watched quietly in horror, both recalling Dramon X's transformation to this exact dragon during an incident that involved a skirmish with one of Kensuke's enemies.

"You did this!" Omega X shifted away from the dragon and glared down the anomalous being. "Change him back!"

"I'll leave you all to deal with the Accel Ascendant." The being announced. "Before we meet again soon, my name is ZeedMillenniummon X, Zeed X for short. I am the Dark God's reincarnation, Zeed, that previously fought DF-616 Prime's warriors, including The One. These are the warriors that preceded the Ascendants: Digital Fusion."

The Ascendants and others are beyond surprised by these revelations. Zeed X gave a low chuckle before leaving the dimension. The hand that held Orcus left with Zeed X as well. The portal is left open.

"ORCUS!" Sedna cried out as she headed for the portal. However, Angemon X stopped her.

"We'll follow them, Karin! We have to get Ken under control!" Angemon X shouted.

Taking immediate action against the dragon Ken, Omega X, Metalla X, the D3s (Tike, Kara, David, Sam), the Digidestined Ascendants (Houou X and company), the other warriors (BanchoLeomon, BW, Pikkan, Jax, Sonja, Sheila), Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars, Madoka, Brunhilde, the Kuiper Belt Senshi, Guilkatomon, Renrukimon, Terryamon, Inumuramon, the Legendary Warriors, Team Xros Heart, Masaru & ShineGreymon Burst Mode, Kyoko, Yugi, and Seto engaged the dragon.

Half of them blasted the dragon in order to subdue it. The others went on the defense and stopped the dragon's destructive blasts with Ki/magical barriers.

Slade isn't going to like this! Omega X thought as he fired a full-powered Tsunami Wave at the dragon.

The dragon charged and fired its Absolute Zero, a massive ice beam, which clashed with Omega X's powerful beam. Omega X felt his beam being pushed back, causing him to falter. He delved deep and powered up to Super Ascendant Blue. Likewise, Metalla X did the same. Omega X fired back, catching the dragon with a Tsunami Wave to its face. Metalla X landed a fierce kick to the beast's right eye.

The dragon retaliated and blasted Metalla X back with its Ice Dragon Roar.

"Hey, over here, Ken!" Tike cried out, firing a Ki blast to the dragon's face. "Chill out! We're trying to help you!"

"Tike, look out!" Kara warned him aloud as the beast fired an ice beam at Tike.

The beam came too fast, but BanchoLeomon pushed Tike away.

Seto utilized his Spirit Fusion power and transformed into Blue-Eyes White Dragon. The blue-scaled winged beast flew around firing multiple Burst Stream of Destructions. However, the Ken dragon fired ice beams, taking out all of Seto's blue blasts. The Ken dragon flew over and swatted Seto down with its tail.

"This can't go any further!" Angemon X roared as he powered up into Super Angemon X mode. He rocketed upward and punched the dragon's chest, stunning the ice beast. "Karin, now!"

"Forgive me, Ken," Sedna focused as she summoned her Dragon Saber.

Sailor Moon summoned a sword and slashed the Ken dragon with it. Sailor Mars quickly turned into Houou Mars and formed a fiery barrier, protecting herself and others from the dragon's blasts.

"Move!" Sedna cried out as she flew up and shoved the Dragon Saber through the Ken dragon's gut, which unleashed a surge of light that neutralized and purified the beast, turning him back into Kensuke.

"Ken!" Sedna cried out as Angemon X dove in to catch him.

As Kensuke landed, he slowly regained his bearings and scanned the vicinity. He couldn't see clearly as his vision was still blurry.

"Ken! Can you hear me?!" Sedna called out to him.

"Dude, here let me help!" Tike offered to help Kensuke. As he reached for Kensuke, the Accel Ascendant seemingly started seeing Zeed X in place of Tike.

"BASTARD!" Kensuke roared, driving his fist through 'Zeed X', only to realize he punched through Tike's chest.

"Wh-Wha… UGH!" Tike coughed blood. He then collapsed in a pool of his own blood.

"TIKE!" Kara screamed in shock. She flew over to Tike's side and cradled her dying brother. "Oh shit! Tike! TIKE! Don't die on me!"

"No… NO! WHAT HAVE I DONE?!" Kensuke realized what he had done. He saw Kara shot a scornful glare at him. "It was him! Zeed X…! That bastard's making me see him all over the place!" He turned as he saw more 'Zeed Xs' rush toward him.

As Kensuke shook his head, all the 'Zeed Xs' vanished. He saw his friends in their places.

"KEN! WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Varuna yelled at him.

Looking down at his hands, he saw Tike's blood on his right hand. He saw the D3s, the Digidestined Ascendants, and the other warriors surrounding Tike. Sedna, Angemon X, and Omega X were overcome with shock, but Sedna and Angemon X tried to approach him.

"Ken! Calm down! Listen…!" Sedna pleaded to him.

"Why did you do that, Ken?! What's going on with you?!" Angemon X berated him.

Covering his ears, Kensuke couldn't take it anymore. Zeed X had gotten what he wanted and that was to shatter Kensuke's bonds with his friends.

"Hey! That wasn't right! Tike was on our side!" A voice belonging to Tagiru interjected, catching Kensuke by surprise.

"Tagiru! Stop, you fool!" Kiriha tried to stop him.

As Kensuke turned, he didn't see Tagiru and Gumdramon. No, he saw two 'Zeed X's' running toward him. His eyes narrowed darkly as he fired a beam at them, quickly wiping out the two 'Zeed Xs'. However, the blasts wiped out Tagiru and Gumdramon instead.

"Oh god… Tagiru!" Taiki cried out in shock.

Having witnessed one of their own teammates killed, Akari sank to her knees and cried. Zenjirou hugged Akari to comfort her.

"Bastard, you went too far!" Kiriha accused Kensuke.

"I can't believe this…!" Nene was horrified by this.

Omega X teleported in front of Kensuke. "Ken, that's enough! I'm sorry about Athena and Orcus, but you're attacking and killing our teammates! Snap out of it…!" As he placed his hand on Kensuke's head, he saw that Kensuke's mind was muddled with images of Zeed X. "So, that's it! That guy skewed your mind and planted your memories with him in it! You're seeing us as him!"

"GET AWAY!" Kensuke roared, pushing Omega X away. Then, he used his B.A.X. Digivice to open a portal. He recalled Veemon, CyberBeelzemon, Titaniamon, Utopia, and OmegaShoutmon into his Digivice. He then jumped through the portal.

"KEN!" Sedna cried out as she jumped and reached for him. However, the portal closed right in front of her. "NO!"

Angemon X hugged Sedna.

"Whatever he did, he's made Ken think we're all that Zeed X bastard!" Omega X said. "I was able to tell when I touched and read Kensuke's mind."

"Damn it, just how twisted can you get?" BW wondered.

(End theme)

Just then, because of Zeed X's appearance, his influence began to destroy the fabrics of DF-811.

"Hey, something's happening to this dimension!" Sailor Moon scanned the dimension as a white flash of light began consuming and seemingly erasing everything in its path.

"Shit, this doesn't look good," Kyoko gulped.

"This universe is being erased!" Madoka alarmed everyone.

"Zeed X's presence has destroyed the fabrics of this dimension," Sedna revealed. "If he's the reincarnation of the infamous Dark God Zeed, then the Nexus is in serious danger. This is beyond anything we've come up against."

"Y-yeah, I think we better split!" Guilkatomon watched as the white light erased more of the dimension.

Angemon X fell into disarray seeing his home dimension being erased. Everyone he had loved and cared for had been taken from him. And just now his future daughter died, and any hope of reviving her would have to be delayed with Zeed X's presence looming.

"Dimitri, we have to go," Sedna grabbed Angemon X's hand. "Sweetie, I'm sorry about your world. I really wish this didn't have to happen, but look… we have to go!" She pulled Angemon X with her.

"We can take that portal he left open for us!" Omega X pointed to the portal forged open by Zeed X. "That's where we'll probably find him so we can save Orcus."

"Yeah, but I don't think all of us are fit to go," Metalla X decided. "Half of us will have to go back home to our dimension."

"Count me and Larry out then," Marty decided. "Personally I think we've seen our share of war now. And having seen that Kensuke guy kill three of our colleagues, it's best if I make my leave."

Larry approached Sailor Eris and kissed her. "Will you be ok?"

"Yeah, and trust me we'll be back," Eris reassured Larry.

Angewomon and LadyDevimon tended to Meryl. They both spoke for Meryl. "And we'll leave with Lady Meryl."

"And I think Akari's seen enough," Zenjirou said as Nene hugged Akari, who was sobbing over the whole traumatic experience.

"We're going to sit this one out, guys. I wanna be here for Akari," Taiki suggested.

"We can respect that," Omega X nodded.

"And don't worry, Tai. We'll protect home just in case that Zeed X creep sends minions to stir up trouble in our world!" Dorothy vowed to help the other Digidestined and the warriors hold the fort down.

"Thanks, Dorothy," Omega X gave a thumbs up to her.

It was quickly decided the following members would return to the DF-616 and YYGDM-01 dimensions: the Legendary Warriors (minus Takuya), Valkyrie Skuld, Marty, Larry, Meryl & her two Digimon partners, Team Data Squad (minus Masaru & ShineGreymon BM), Team Xros Heart, the other Digidestined Ascendants, the other D3s (with Kara carrying Tike), the other DF-616 warriors, and the Duelists.

Sedna provided two dimension portals for the departing members. The Legendary Warriors, Valkyrie Skuld, Marty, Larry, and the Duelists entered the YYGDM-01 portal. The other Digidestined Ascendants, the other D3s, the other DFKai warriors, Dorothy & Avengemon, D-Reaper, Meryl & Angewomon/LadyDevimon, Team Data Squad, and Team Xros Heart passed into the DF-616 portal.

Before making their leave, Sora walked over to Omega X and kissed him.

"Come back and this time with Max," Sora wished.

"Don't worry. No one else is going to die on our watch," Omega X affirmed.

Carrying the Digicores with them, Sora, Joe, Izzy, Mimi, and their Digimon were the last ones to leave.

As the two portals closed, the DF-811 was on the verge of total collapse. The remaining members turned to face the doorway left open by Zeed X.

The group preparing to enter the portal consisted of Omega X, Metalla X, Angemon X, Sailor Sedna, Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars, Madoka, Kyoko, Mami, Sailor Varuna, Sailor Eris, Sailor Ixion, Sailor Quaoar, Guilkatomon, Renrukimon, Terryamon, Inumuramon, Brunhilde & MetalSeadramon, Masaru & ShineGreymon BM, KaiserGreymon, and Kirito & Asuna (Corner).

"Here we go, probably the point of no return," Omega X resolved.

"I'm ready for anything. I'll at least reunite with Homura," Madoka nodded.

"Brother, wait for us. We'll beat him for you," Sedna muttered, referring to Kensuke.

As the group entered the portal, what's left of DF-811 is wiped out of existence. The home dimension of Dimitri, and all the inhabitants and souls, are forever gone. All that is left is nothing but Nexus space.

Nothing is the same anymore.

Final Arc Approaches: Fiction's Closure

Next chapter: Paradais Lost

xxxxx

Ford1114's A/N: Well, that's the way to end this arc. The last update of 2017 to celebrate New Years Eve/Day. So Happy New Year to all!

R. Homura is driven off and has to retreat to the MillenniRealm from the heroes. Ford (Story) is revived as some of the heroes in Yog-Sothoth's realm have to return to YYGDM-01 before the main forces lead by Pluto/Volodramon (YYGDM-01) are heading to the MillenniRealm.

Ellen receives an awesome moment for the Valkyrie Profile maidens to merge with her body in tributing the climax moment of Valkyrie Profile 2. Though, Quedesha, Mist (YYGDM-01) and the controlled Mist (Corner) retreat, showing that the Cornerverse conflict isn't over yet (hence we have Yami Transcendent Mana and Sailor Specter will join the fray).

But the biggest moment of all, the return of Gaiamon X up and ready to wipe out Zamasmon/Black Gaiamon X's self-righteous ass and avenge Athena's death. Just as we expecting the typical aftermath, the main CG villain kidnaps Orcus, sending Dramon X on a rampage and recovered his lost memories (back in Chaosblazer's Final Acceleration movie fic) that ends with Tike's death (alongside Tagiru & Gumdramon).

Now, things are not going to be the same anymore. The status quo seen in most of Kanius' canon fanfics is averted. With the final arc, Fiction's Closure coming in early 2018, it's going to be really dark and realistic. The main villain of Cross Generations finally reveals himself. He is named Zeed X. I have so much fun co-writing this wham scene, feeling so the hype about what's to come for the final arc. Millenniummon/Zeed/Zeed X makes Zamasmon child's play. Can't believe we'll immediately segue straight into it for the coming final battles of CG. The final arc will have 10 chapters, akin to Samurai Jack's final season. This is going to be one of the biggest turn of events for the author's life-changing destiny.

Kanius' A/N: This was a way to end the year and just in time to ring in the new one. Can't believe I pulled an almost all nighter with this (and thanks to Ford's help), but hey I can afford just one day out of this week with little sleep. I just wanted to get this chapter out before 2017 ends.

So, this chapter serves as the transition from the Black Rebellion and into Fiction's Closure. I can't believe we've finally made it to this point. Many event things have happened: the return of Gaiamon X, Ellen dying and becoming The Valkyrie to put Quedesha & YYGDM!Mist in their places, the other Digidestined receiving their overdue Ascendant forms, Gaiamon X taking out Black Gaiamon X, the reveal of CG's Big Bad Zeed X, Dramon X going ballistic against his own will, some more character deaths (including Tike and Tagiru & Gumdramon), and the total erasure of Dimitri's timeline.

Two groups have been formed to enter the MillenniRealm where R. Homura and presumably Zeed X lie in wait. And to avoid overcrowded scenes, half of the cast were sent back to their home dimensions.

R. Homura escapes, but she already has a group coming after her. Quedesha and YYGDM!Mist leave with Corner!Mist and that conflict shall be resolved in the next arc.

Zeed X, what can I say? First of all, this isn't the same one from the Shinnen: New Year fic. That one was a mere shadow of this one who appeared in the flesh in this chapter. And he's also the reincarnation of the Dark God, Zeed, from my old D-Fusion fic series. He's returned after all this time to wreak havoc, but this time on the new Digimon Fusion Kai (DF-616) universe and the entire Nexus. However, now he's returned as a more calculating and calm demeanor individual than his original self who was mostly brutish and boastful (alongside sarcastic). Zeed X is written as if he were a mix of the Anti-Spiral leader (but without the well-intentioned extremist aspects), Michael Emerson's portrayal of The Joker from Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, and typical charismatic but corrupted political leaders. While he possesses enough power to wipe out universes (as he demonstrated with Dimitri's timeline), he can play into an individual's mind and manipulate them. Our goal hopefully is not to make him a repeat of his old Zeed self from the original D-Fusion finale. Maybe he'll be similar to the Zeed X from Shinnen: New Year, but I guess we'll see once we reach that point where he takes the kid gloves off.

And so I leave you with this cliffhanger. As we enter 2018, we segue way into the final arc: Fiction's Closure. Just warning, the story will start hitting the meta territory. Zeed X already started throwing meta references to Omega X and the others, revealing to them about DF-616 Prime (the original D-Fusion universe). Fiction's Closure will be 10 chapters and we'll kick things off with the battle against R. Homura to fully wrap the Black Rebellion portion up (In the first half of Ch. 21) before Zeed X takes full command (For the second half of Ch. 21).

And with that, this is my last update for 2017. Until then, send a review and see you in the new year! Take care!
