Cross Generations

by Kanius

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

22. Paradais Lost

Kanius' A/N: Hey, it's been a few months since the last update! Sorry, but I needed time away to launch Digimon Fusion Ascendancy and catch up on Valkyrie Advent (this one's heading for its climax).

And this gets released just in time as it correlates to Toonami's 21st birthday: March 17, 2018. Heh, maybe not a big deal to some, but I think it's a cool coincidence.

Before we start, in regards to Digimon Fusion Ascendancy, it is ongoing and has mostly been a retelling of (so far) Battle of Digital Gods and Cross Generations' Dimension Missions arc. I did this story for two main reasons:

1.)Give my DFK readers an easier way to navigate through the series after D-Reaper's Fury. And to follow it through a DFK-focused direction with little YuYuGiDigiMoon/Accel Stream/Lost Kingdom interaction, but some crossover will still exist in some form (can't exactly cut them out entirely without herky jerky awkward cuts).

2.)Allow me to expand on the future of the series and room for new arcs. Yes, there's already plans in place for new arcs that aren't fic retellings, including one based on the Android 21 story in Dragon Ball FighterZ (there'll be no revived villains but may have Marvel character crossover). Ascendancy will ultimately be the fic where I will adapt and post chapters based on the Universe Survival/Tournament of Power arc. The fic will also have an expanded version of the Black Rebellion arc especially if you feel CG's version was rushed. So for those who have yet or have any piqued interest in new DFK arcs, that's where you can find those new arcs.

So now that I have your attention, we've hit the climax of Cross Generations and Digimon Fusion Kai (outside the new arcs in Ascendancy). Fiction's Closure is the one that decides them all. The fate of DFK, YYGDM, and the entire Nexus are all on the line. After this arc, things won't be the same.

And now we begin.

Ford1114's A/N: Twenty years have passed since a certain author came to this website (1998 – 2018). The final arc of Cross Generations, and the whole Digimon Fusion franchise since 2001-03 begins.

Side-note, I have written a once-in-a-lifetime comeback of doing a series epilogue fanfic called Persona Vein. An OVA six-chapter crossover of Persona 5 and the forthcoming Code Vein, with elements of Nioh and Kakegurui. This will tribute Digimon Adventure tri. in coming full circle why most of the author's fics are inspired by getting into the Digimon franchise, and why Ascendancy comes full circle of DFusion's success. So far, I already uploaded the first two chaps, and plan to release the third next month or so. I plan to release the final three chapters after Code Vein's release. Obviously, another reason why I did this is inspiring the author in properly getting into Persona 5 (Such as he's watching the whole playthrough right about now I showed him. He just finished watching Kakegurui (Season 1) before jumping into Persona 5. I wonder to remind if Kanius knew or remember experiencing past games like Persona 3 and Persona 4 for just supplementary background, since Persona 5 is the main focus.) alongside new concepts outside of Shonen typically seen in DFKai and YYGDM. Looking back of Nioh used in the segments of Ch. 12 - 13, it's like a 'backdoor pilot' of one of the new concepts used for Persona Vein (Yes I did remember showed him the video walkthrough last year, and I just already send him the three DLC video walkthroughs to watch next.). The Phantom Thieves of Persona 5 made cameos in Segment 11 of Valkyrie Homecoming as another foreshadowing. There are two future plans outside of my fic for the author to adapt:

1.)The Corner versions are going to appear in Fiction's Closure. They will first appear in Ch. 26.

2.)I bring the discussion of having them playing main roles in the final party corner that's a Defiants tie-in as the Cornerverse's series epilogue in almost like 'Last Episode/Story, New Characters'. It's going to be completely different in terms of POV. The Triad cast are not having major roles after past Corner stories of their involvement in every scene. There's a chance that it'll be a separate Corner fic, originally thought to be put together with Defiants just like Resurrection B and Battle Supremacy till I realized and concern of LazerWulf's watchful eye on A/N. This final Corner will be rated M-Mature (besides three lemon one-shots, but their not multi-chapter stories) unlike T-Teen of past separated Corner fics.

Dimension: Character Corner/Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building (東京都庁舎)/Legend Headquarters/Medical Room/Shinjuku District, Tokyo(新宿区, 東京)

In the medical room, Philippe (Corner) continued watching over the unconscious Sasha (Corner). It has been some time since Skuld (Corner) obliterated one of the Black Valkyries (Black Gondul), but as a horrific result nearly destroyed Midgard, and at the expense of that power knocked Sasha (Corner) unconscious.

And that result was Skuld (Corner)'s full demon form, Helragna. Hel's greatest champion, whose blood and power have passed over to Skuld (Corner). The same feral form that Skuld (YYGDM-01) used to destroy Asgard back in Valkyrie Advent. It was the same scene that the Corner audience watched back in Valkyrie Homecoming. Sasha (Corner) was beyond terrified seeing this form, while Inner Skuld (Corner) seemed impressed.

Of course, looking back when Skuld (Corner) was furious at Rota (Corner) at Valkyrie Homecoming, the Underworld Valkyrie's power threatened to destroy Asgard. Thankfully those like Brunhilde (Corner), Philippe (Corner), and Gondul (Corner) calmed her down. Otherwise, she would have become Helragna in a Harsher in Hindsight moment.

Sasha's Mindscape

(Cue Owari No Seraph OST - 13. 脱出行 (Escape Line)) (0:00 - 1:17)

Inside Sasha (Corner)'s mind. The white-haired French girl has regained consciousness and looked around the blackness filled with green flames. She then saw a throne chair with someone sitting in it. Sasha (Corner) faced her other half, Skuld (Corner).

"So, I see you're back, little white rabbit," Skuld (Corner) gave her a mordant greeting.

However, Sasha (Corner) remained quiet before giving a reproached glare.

"What are you giving that look for?" Skuld (Corner) questioned.

"Tell me? Did you destroy all of Paris? Including Kotori's uncle and aunt? And my parents?!" Sasha (Corner) questioned.

"Of course I did, but I let my anger get the better of me thanks to that Black Valkyrie bitch," Skuld (Corner) answered with an annoyed tone. "I sensed that Light Elf whore is out there. I still need to kill her."

"Even so, the way I see it is unforgivable!" Sasha (Corner) yelled. "My mindscape was left blank covered in flames while you take over like a beast! I reacted in horror knowing I 'killed' my mother and father with your own hands. I became that same monster I saw back happen during Valkyrie Advent! I should be ashamed that I hold you responsible!"

(1:18 - 2:19)

"DON'T YOU FUCKING TELL ME WHAT TO DO, YOU STUPID TWERP! I HAD IT ALL UNDER CONTROL!" Skuld (Corner) roared and snapped as her throne chair is engulfed by green flames. "I CONTROLLED MY DEMON FORM AND THANKFULLY, DID NOT ALLOW MYSELF TO DESTROY YOUR HOME REALM! YOU THINK YOU HAVE ISSUES?! I REMAIN STUCK IN YOUR BODY WITHOUT A FUCKING REASON BESIDES SUCKING PHILIPPE'S DICK!"

"No, you're wrong!" Sasha (Corner) chastised. "The way I see it is all wrong! We both remember seeing that moment when our YYGDM-01 selves come to terms with each other, just like Yugi and Atem, before their Second Ragnarok. That showed our counterparts have a special bond with Skuld (YYGDM-01) having experience, even getting along with others like Ayanna (YYGDM-01) without any real conflict. You, on the other hand, still have yet to! Since our Second Ragnarok ended a few years back, you are still a dark persona that wanted full control over my body! No wonder my friends and Philippe still feared you. You and our Ayanna (Corner) still have issues like Mr. Yamato and Kensuke than their YYGDM-01 selves. That's why Saya and Kiyoko still used their magic in sealing you before coming to Asgard's party before, while your YYGDM-01 self no longer needed the seal due to her terms with her Sasha (YYGDM-01). If you think becoming Niflheim's ruler changed you, think again. WAKE THE HELL UP!"

Upon hearing Sasha (Corner)'s harsh lecture coming from a mere white rabbit, Skuld (Corner) is absolutely stunned.

"And if that's the way you want it, then that means goodbye," Sasha (Corner) regretfully stated in a solemn tone.

A white light flashed back to reality...

Just then, Sasha (Corner) began to slowly wake up, revealing her blue eyes to Philippe (Corner).

"Philippe…" Sasha (Corner) muttered. Not only that, but her eyes had tears. She's on the verge of sadness.

"Sasha!" Philippe (Corner) called her name as he held her hands. "You'll be okay, I promise you."

With that said, Sasha recovered well. However, as for the emotional state concerning Inner Skuld, it was uncertain. Right now, Sasha was in full control of her body and as Skuld, but where was the equilibrium? Can both find peace and finally truly be seen as equals and eventually as friends? Can Inner Skuld finally be true friends with specific others like Gondul?

Outside the window glass unaware, there was a silver fox with yellow eyes observing her. His name was Reynard, a trickster figure. He left the scene but was planning to greet Sasha/Skuld soon alongside four other tricksters that'll join him.

Dimension: The MillenniRealm

The MillenniRealm is an age old dimension filled with skyscrapers covered in crystallized foliage. The feeling of it was exotic yet mysterious. The skies consist of a grayish blue backdrop with an ominous outlook.

The origins of this realm are created by Zeed/Zeed X, whose goal was the destruction of the Nexus. There are no life forms around. Everything seemed quiet.

R. Homura was on top of a ravaged skyscraper. In the distance, she saw an area that looked like the Garden of Assemblage from Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix/2.5 HD Remix. Covering the entire circular wall are thirteen crystal containers covered in crystallized vines.

The Rebellious Magical Girl accomplished the goal. She planned to release these crystal containers for Zeed X. However, her mindset on her intended goal changed, knowing that they are dangerous to the Nexus' existence. In secret, she instead planned to destroy them.

Before she can decide, she sensed a bunch of oppositions coming in her direction.

"So, you have all come," R. Homura turned.

(Cue Owari no Seraph - OST - To Be Continued…)

Within moments, the united heroes arrived: Omega X, Metalla X, Angemon X, Sailor Sedna, Celesta X, WarAngemon, Ultima X, Zodiark X, Max & Gojiramon, Keke & Mosuramon, Sailor Varuna, Sailor Quaoar, Sailor Ixion, Sailor Eris, Guilkatomon, Renrukimon, Terryamon, Inumuramon, Brunhilde & MetalSeadramon, KaiserGreymon, Masaru & ShineGreymon BM, Sailor Moon, Houou Mars, Sailor Pluto, Volodramon, Sailor Venus, Sailor Saturn, Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, Shaka, Shu, Gai, Inori, Mana, Madoka, Homura, Sayaka, Kyoko, Mami, Nagisa, Kirito (Corner), and Asuna (Corner).

The group cautiously observed their new ominous surroundings. Half of the group were instantly creeped out by the MillenniRealm's dreadful scenery. Homura was reminded of similar dreadful imagery from past experiences. Celesta X shuddered, feeling the high concentrations of dark energy that filled this dimension.

"What is this place?" Omega X scanned the dimension.

"I can't even sense any energy signatures here," Metalla X said.

"This place looks so devoid of life," Sailor Sedna said.

Omega X turned to Max. "By the way, I'm glad you're back with us safe and sound."

Max smiled. "Yeah, same here. Looks like half of your group went back to their homes."

Angemon X added. "We figured we didn't need to bring too large a group. Besides, half of our group either had enough after we lost Athena, Tike, and that Tagiru kid. And others just didn't feel up to coming here."

"And Kensuke's not here," Sailor Pluto turned to Sedna, who was already saddened over losing her future daughter. "I'm sorry, Sedna."

"No, we have to move forward," Sedna said, wiping a tear.

"Don't worry we'll bring back Athena, Sedna," Sailor Moon reassured her.

"Yep, and then she can see us after we beat these bad guys," Madoka added.

"Beating the bad guys? Oh, Madoka Kaname, you're just as idealistic as I remember you!" The sound of Homura's voice called out from above.

"Homura?!" Madoka gasped, turning to Homura.

"It's not me!" Homura gazed upward.

Everyone else shifted their view toward the top of a ruined skyscraper covered in crystallized foliage. R. Homura stood on the top smiling coolly.

"What the hell?! Another Homura?!" Kyoko was aghast by R. Homura's appearance.

"So, I presume this is that other Homura your group contended with?" Mami asked Homura and Sayaka.

"I didn't fight her directly, but Homura did. I did see her though," Sayaka answered.

"She looks like you, Homura, but older and a little creepier," Madoka addressed Homura while carefully eyeing R. Homura.

"Yes, she's in fact from another timeline that diverged from Shu, Gai, Inori, and Mana's timeline," Homura briefly touched on. "Her timeline is designated GCLR-1113."

Sailor Pluto nodded. "And don't be fooled by her mere appearance. She had enough power to keep us on our toes."

Volodramon concurred. "Pluto's right about that. Don't underestimate her. Even by herself, she's enough to wreck a whole group, and she's had plenty of time to recover since we last fought her in Yog-Sothoth's realm."

"This Homura, she must have wielded the Void Genome," Gai glared at the adversary.

"No kidding, I sensed it, too," Shu added. "She uses that power better than I do."

"Wait…!" Madoka began to remember something, "This world, it's the same as my past dreams before meeting Taichi and the others!"

"Really Madoka?" Shu asked.

"Yeah, but it feels vague. Like if something brought all of us together," Madoka admitted.

"Ah, so you've had visions pertaining to this realm, Madoka Kaname?" R. Homura smirked. She gave Homura a perturbed look, exhibiting jealousy over another Homura with Madoka.

"Yes, but I have this feeling that dream was a vision of the future. Like we were meant to come here to face our greatest threat… And it's not you," Madoka said. "We already know there's someone on a higher plane."

"Yeah, in fact, we already met him!" Omega X alluded to Zeed X. "He must be your boss!"

R. Homura briefly scowled until she regained her composure and smirked. "So, what if he is? What does it matter? You either die by his hand or mine. You've already eliminated my colleagues. Zamasmon, Saitou, Nyarla, and all their cohorts. I'm all that stands in the way between you meeting Zeed X."

"Please if it can be helped, drop your weapons and help us fight Zeed X!" Madoka pleaded to her.

"Madoka…" Homura muttered, shifting her view from Madoka to R. Homura. "I don't think she's going to idly abandon her position that easily."

"And you'd be right. I didn't come this far just to be enticed to join you and betray my master," R. Homura plainly stated. "Now that you're all here I can swiftly defeat you!"

"No!" Madoka protested.

R. Homura frowned. "What?"

"You're lying! I know you're really here to stop Zeed X!" Madoka called out. "You failed to beat my Homura and the others! You think Zeed X is going to let you get away alive for failing a mission? It's better if all of us fight together, Homura!"

Homura and the Puellas meticulously watched R. Homura. Omega X and the others also waited for her next move, but didn't waste time preparing to defend themselves if push comes to shove.

R. Homura's face contorted as she seemingly decided between fighting with or against her master.

"Homura…!" Madoka cried out as R. Homura ultimately answered by shooting a beam at her, which Homura intercepted with a shield.

Shu, Gai, Inori, Mana, Kyoko, Sayaka, Mami, and Nagisa amassed near Madoka. They protected her from the Rebellious Witch's next possible attack.

"She offered you a chance to fight with us and this is how you repay her kindness?!" Homura shouted at her witch counterpart.

"Now you've crossed the line!" Shu shouted.

Despite the overwhelming opposition facing her, R. Homura giggled loudly. She then uncharacteristically broke out into laughter and palmed her whole left face. A crazed smile adorned the woman's delicate pale features.

"There's no reasoning with her, Madoka Kaname. This other me shouldn't be given a pass just because she has my face!" Homura said as a black aura covered her. "She's long set on her path!"

"Correct, Homura Akemi. I mean, I was you before I took the Genome Void that was meant for Shu. And with it, I was on my path to becoming the goddess you see before you. The Madoka from my timeline died, leaving me with no other purpose, but to become the Devil," R. Homura declared, forming a similar dark aura but more powerful than Homura's. "With my Madoka gone, I no longer have any petty attachments to restrain me. The way I see it, you will all be obliterated."

Finally, R. Homura saw no reason to hold back from showcasing her full power in the MillenniRealm. R. Homura transformed into the form everyone feared in her home universe. The form that surpassed God and all deities: Devil Homura. She brandished both the Singer's Sword and Dancer's Sword. She let out an unrestrained force that knocked everyone back but most managed to hang onto something within reach in their surroundings.

"Geez, this is seriously who you guys have been fighting?!" Guilkatomon exclaimed.

"No! She wasn't using this much power when we fought her!" Sailor Pluto exclaimed.

"She's just deciding now is the perfect time to go all out! And why not? This dimension is an endless space where one can freely go nuts and release one's full strength!" Volodramon shouted.

"Man, what an arrogant bitch!" Kyoko cried out.

Sailor Saturn quickly forged her Silence Wall protecting her, Sailor Pluto, Volodramon, Sailor Venus, Guilkatomon, Renrukimon, Terryamon, Inumuramon, Brunhilde & MetalSeadramon, KaiserGreymon, and Masaru & ShineGreymon.

"Geez! This bitch's power is beyond anything I've come against!" Brunhilde shouted in disbelief. "She makes Loki and Mist look so tame in comparison!"

"Is everyone ok?!" Sailor Venus asked everyone sitting behind Saturn's barrier.

"We are thanks to Sailor Saturn," Renrukimon said.

Houou Mars formed a cosmic fiery barrier, protecting Sailor Moon, Omega X, Metalla X, Max & Gojiramon, Angemon X, Sailor Sedna, Keke & Mosuramon, Celesta X, WarAngemon, Ultima X, Zordiark X, the other Kuiper Senshi, and the Spirit Detectives.

Hiei turned around and looked at Houou Mars, who provided them protection.

"Thanks a lot, Mars," Moon said, already prepping her Silver Crystal.

"I'm so lucky to have the Houou bond with me or I wouldn't have made a difference," Houou Mars said, maintaining the Houou's cloak barrier.

"Holy crap! Had she gone all out back in that other realm, we would've been royally screwed!" Yusuke was flabbergasted by R. Homura's immense power.

"Her powers as a devil goddess are beyond anything of our comprehension," Kurama stated, also feeling a sense of dread being in R. Homura's presence.

Kuwabara noted Kurama's anxious state. If Kurama's nervous, then we're in deep shit.

"Damn it all! She held back all this power?!" WarAngemon was flabbergasted. "Kari, hang together!" He held Celesta X, who shivered from R. Homura's dark power.

"Hard to believe, but it's true," Max stated.

"She thinks she can show us up?!" Metalla X snarled over being eclipsed by the Rebellious Witch's power.

Omega X looked up and faced R. Homura. "All this unbridled she's letting out is unbelievable. I can see why Zeed X picked her to be top command. Her full power's way above Zamasmon's! If we're beating her, we have to go all the way!" He along with Max and Metalla X turned Super Ascendant Blue.

Angemon X went into his Super Angemon X state. Celesta X powered up into her Holy Mode form.

The Sailor and Kuiper Senshi, minus Houou Mars, went into their Dai-Valkyrie forms. Brunhilde also turned into Dai-Valkyrie mode and merged with MetalSeadramon to become Mizuchi Mode.

R. Homura watched as a white veil of light formed over Madoka. She witnessed Madoka's Puella wardrobe vanish, replaced with a white dress & gown as her light pink hair extended. Her white aura shifted into a rose color and radiated off Madoka's body. Madoka became Ultimate Madoka.

In place of Homura, the Puella turned into Devil Homura. R. Homura became intrigued meeting a mere reflection of herself.

Ultimate Madoka and Devil Homura used their combined energies to form a barrier to protect their Puella friends, Shu, Gai, Inori, Mana, Kirito (Corner), and Asuna (Corner).

Kirito (Corner) sighed with relief. "Hey, thanks a lot."

Shu added. "Gai, look at this!"

Gai nodded. "Madoka and our Homura have gone all out to unveil their goddess and devil forms."

Inori whispered. "Madoka and Homura look magnificent."

Mana chuckled. "So you two wanna bust out those goddess forms and show us up? Don't forget me and Inori have our own goddess forms to fight with."

Homura nodded. "Then by all means use them because we're going to need them."

R. Homura giggled fiendishly. "Oh, this shall prove to be most interesting! But, I am curious how many of you will last? Let this be a fight for the survival of the fittest! This battle of ours shall separate mortals from divine beings! The last one standing shall be the one that stands on top of the hierarchy!"

The MillenniRealm

(Cue Illidiance - Open Your Eyes [Guano Apes cover])

A rock song is played as if an epic fight against an SNK Boss just commenced.

R. Homura charged at Omega X, Metalla X, and Super Angemon X. The rebellious magical girl attacked with her void swords, but Omega X countered with Gaia Breaker and Angemon X used his sword to block them.

"Nice counters, Ascendants," R. Homura smiled coolly in the face of Omega X and Angemon X. "It's no surprise you were able to defeat Zamasmon well!" She parried Omega X and Super Angemon X strikes quickly, sending them sailing back with the swing of her void swords.

"Hey, bitch! Eyes on me!" Metalla X interjected, whose loud boastful remark irked the Rebellious Witch.

Metalla X unleashed Gamma Burst Blaze on R. Homura. But, R. Homura easily evaded the beam as it instead blasted a crystallize skyscraper.

"Ugh, son of a whore!" Metalla X snapped.

R. Homura openly taunted him. "You should keep an eye on the ball, dear man-boy."

Then, she saw Celesta X Holy Mode, WarAngemon, Ultima X, Zodiark X, Max & Godzillamon, and Keke & Mothramon head toward her. All of the DFKai heroes fired their energy blasts at their opponent.

R. Homura flew around, evading her enemies' attack barrage. She shot up toward WarAngemon, who attacked her with his Seraphi Fist. Ultima X and Zordiark X tried a sneak attack while R. Homura's back was turned. The Rebellious Witch swung her void swords around, blocking their attacks at once. She slashed all three and blasted them.

"TK, Davis, Ken!" Celesta X HM cried out as seeing her friends' plight invoked Homeostasis' power within her.

As Mothramon sprang her attack on R. Homura, Keke hopped off her partner and swooped down to attack the Rebellious Witch. She summoned and tossed her Rosemary Discs at R. Homura. R. Homura neutralized the discs with her void swords. Then, she responded by flying up and slashing Keke and Mothramon.

"Get the hell away from her, witch!" Max snapped, diving toward R. Homura.

R. Homura knocked Keke and Mothramon away before shifting her sights to Max.

Max unleashed his Super Tsunami Wave. Godzillamon belched his Atomic Inferno as it combined with Max's signature attack. R. Homura spun her void swords, stopping and deflecting their attacks at them. Max and Godzillamon moved away.

"Homura!" Celesta X HM called out, quickly drawing the Rebellious Witch's attention. "This one's for my friends!"

Celesta X HM used Hikari Purgatorial Maelstrom, which engulfed R. Homura. Then, R. Homura easily repelled them all and unleashed a bladed shockwave to send the Ascendants and their allies flying.

"You're all being such annoyances," R. Homura scoffed.

Suddenly, Sailor Eris tossed her rope to ensnare R. Homura. Ixion and Quaoar fired poison arrows and Destructive Roses at R. Homura, but R. Homura easily freed herself by destroying the rope with her aura. She then widened her eyes, sending a shockwave that wiped out the coming projectiles.

"Oh, c'mon now!" Eris cried out.

"She wiped our attacks out effortlessly?!" Ixion exclaimed in disbelief.

Sailor Sedna and Varuna clashed with R. Homura's swords with their trident and axe. R. Homura countered and kicked Sedna away. Sedna tossed large icicle shards. Varuna energized these shards with lightning from Mjolnir. The lightning shards are thrown at R. Homura, but R. Homura unleashed mid-air lasers, destroying them.

"Damn it! What does it take to defeat this overpowered witch…?!" Varuna gritted.

"Then, I'm here to back up!" Masaru hollered.

Masaru leaped forward, landing a punch to R. Homura's face, but it surprisingly had no effect. R. Homura no sold Masaru's strongest punch. Smirking, R. Homura sent a powerful shockwave, blowing Masaru through a crystallized skyscraper.

"Aniki!" ShineGreymon Burst Mode cried out. The Digimon clashed at R. Homura with his Corona Blaze Sword and his fiery shield. R. Homura easily blocked every one of ShineGreymon BM's weapons and bashed him down to the ground with her swords.

Then, a few Dragonfire Crossbows struck R. Homura thanks to KaiserGreymon. R. Homura felt no damage and dissolved the arrows. Then, she fired projectile lasers from her wings to take down KaiserGreymon.

"Don't take your eyes off us!" Yusuke yelled out, getting R. Homura's attention.

Yusuke and Shaka fired their Dual Spirit Guns. Hiei unleashed Dragon of the Darkness Flame. Kuwabara and Kurama attacked with their Dimensional Sword and Rose Whip. R. Homura easily anticipated the Spirit Detective assault and unleashed vortex whirlpools to absorb the Spirit Guns and Dragon of the Darkness Flame. Then, more vortexes appeared and engulfed the five Spirit Detectives, making them spin around like a mixer until they are thrown out and sent falling through a skyscraper.

"They never knew that I ended the Taiyoukai War for them in my timeline," R. Homura muttered as she floated to the ground.

Just then, R. Homura sensed that Kirito (Corner), Asuna (Corner), Shu, Gai, Genesis Inori, and Apocalypse Mana approach.

Shu cried out, raising his Singer's Sword with Kirito (Corner) assisting him. Shu and Kirito (Corner) clashed with R. Homura's Singer's Sword. Gai wielded his Dancer's Sword with Asuna (Corner) assisting him. Gai and Asuna (Corner) clashed with R. Homura's Dancer's Sword. A four on one swordsman duel commenced. They clashed so many times that not even an eye blink can keep up with their swords constantly clashing. As the four sword fighters provided the distraction, Genesis Inori and Apocalypse Mana fired crystal projectiles at R. Homura. R. Homura easily noticed and used her full strength to repel her sword-wielding opponents with her void swords. The Rebellious Witch unleashed a shockwave and twilight spheres that knocked Shu, Gai, Inori, Mana, Kirito (Corner) & Asuna (Corner) out of the area.

R. Homura flew up to the sky and noticed more heroes: Guilkatomon, Renrukimon, Terryamon, Inumuramon, Dai-Valkyrie Brunhilde Mizuchi Mode, Dai-Valkyrie Sailor Moon, Houou Mars, Dai-Valkyrie Sailor Pluto, Volodramon, Dai-Valkyrie Sailor Venus, Dai-Valkyrie Sailor Saturn, Ultimate Madoka, Devil Homura, Sayaka, Kyoko, Mami, and Nagisa all ready to unleash their combined attacks.

"Alright, gang! Let her have it!" Brunhilde MM shouted.

"Right behind you, Kotori!" Guilkatomon exclaimed.

First, Brunhilde MM shifted into Silver Valkyrie mode. Silver Brunhilde MM cast Cyan Symbols on herself and the Beast Tamers, empowering them to be covered in cyan flamed familiars of the Five Symbols: Brunhilde MM – Ouryu, Guilkatomon – Suzaku, Renrukimon – Seiryuu, Inumuramon – Byakko, and Terryamon – Genbu. The five Beast Spirit familiars charged at R. Homura and clashed with her. R. Homura unleashed a barrier, repelling the five; yet despite R. Homura's defenses, they attempted to push through.

Moon, Houou Mars, Pluto, Volodramon, Venus, and Saturn pushed their blasts at R. Homura's barrier constantly. Moon raised her sword and summoned a wave of holy energy that cracked parts of the barrier. After Moon's Moon Asgardian Wave hit its mark, Houou Mars launched a cosmic inferno blast that shattered the barrier. R. Homura was then hit full force by Moon and Houou Mars' attacks, sending her flying back.

"Get her, Senshi!" Moon rallied her troops.

Pluto unleashed her Dead Scream on R. Homura, who tried blocking with her void swords. However, this distraction let Venus hit her in the back with Venus Love Me Chain. Saturn then flew at R. Homura and attacked with her Silence Glaive. R. Homura countered with her void swords, leading to a brief clash between Saturn and R. Homura. R. Homura's void swords stopped Saturn's glaive from stabbing her.

R. Homura quickly landed a kick, sending Saturn away. Pluto caught Saturn as they crossed their weapons. They unleashed a combined blast. Volodramon also fired a sphere that hurtled toward R. Homura. The Rebellious Witch prepared to stop their attacks, but Moon tossed her Moon Tiara to distract her. This enabled Pluto, Saturn, and Volodramon's attacks to hit R. Homura.

The Senshi's attacks coupled with Ultimate Madoka's Nebula Arrow Storm dealt more damage to R. Homura. Devil Homura conjured seven circles that form black and purple versions of Lucifer's Dragon of Revelation heads. The heads fired black hellish rays toward R. Homura. Sayaka, Kyoko, Mami, and Nagisa all followed suit and fired their blasts at the rebellious magical girl.

The continuous attacks from her enemies wore down R. Homura. As Silver Brunhilde MM and the Beast Tamers struck back, R. Homura suddenly snapped and shouted.

"STOP IT!"

Then, R. Homura unleashed a titanic explosive wave that blasted away her enemies. This is followed by countless laser beams, huge twilight spheres, and all kinds of energy weaponry (swords, javelins, rapiers, Labrys, katanas, Khanjali, Xiphos, Nodachi, Kopis, Nagamaki, glaive, and Hoko yari) falling from the sky and mid-air. These weapons and long-ranged projectiles tore apart the vicinity and damaged all of the heroes. Despite the damaging blows, the heroes still managed to endure these overwhelming attacks, evading, and blocking every hit.

"That was close!" Omega X yelled out. "Ok, everyone! Fight back and give it your all!"

(Cue Castlevania Order of Ecclesia - Sorrow's Distortion)

Finally having endured enough and fully recovered, the united heroes became determined to defeat their seemingly invulnerable adversary once and for all.

Silver Brunhilde and MetalSeadramon defused from each other, opting to fight separately. Silver Brunhilde and the Beast Tamers launched their counterattack on R. Homura. Guilkatomon flew toward R. Homura and cupped his hands together, forging a red sphere inside his palms. Preparing to block his attack, R. Homura readied her void swords. Renrukimon, Terryamon, and Inumuramon interceded R. Homura and distracted her with attacks. MetalSeadramon swooped in and unleashed his River of Power. R. Homura swung her void swords, cutting MetalSeadramon's beam in two.

R. Homura quickly knocked away the three Advanced Biomegers. Silver Brunhilde and Guilkatomon struck R. Homura. Silver Brunhilde summoned a wave of blue and red flames, merging said flames and sending them toward R. Homura. At the same time, Guilkatomon launched his Hazard Wave. R. Homura raised both void swords, seemingly blocking their attacks. However, Silver Brunhilde and Guilkatomon increased their power output and pushed their attacks forth, finally breaking through R. Homura's defenses. R. Homura tried covering up from Silver Brunhilde and Guilkatomon's powerful attacks.

Yusuke once again fired off his Spirit Gun. The blast struck R. Homura head-on. Shaka followed up by attacking R. Homura with her claymore.

Dai-Valkyrie Sedna summoned forth her Dragon Saber. With Kensuke and Athena on her mind, the Dai-Valkyrie Kuiper became motivated to defeat their opponent. She flew at R. Homura and landed a flurry of strikes on R. Homura. Sedna then followed up with her Sedna Frozen Barrage, blasting R. Homura with icicles. Dai-Valkyrie Varuna crossed Storm Breaker and Mjolnir, combining lightning and pure light from both weapons and sent their energies to Sedna's icicles. The augmented icicles pierced into R. Homura and inflicted damage on her.

KaiserGreymon and ShineGreymon BM crossed their swords together. They combined their fire energies. They unleashed a combination of Dragonfire Crossbow and Corona Blaze Sword. The fiery attacks blasted R. Homura, dealing further damage to her.

Dai-Valkyrie Pluto and Volodramon combined their powers. Pluto's Garnet Staff and Volodramon's Sonic Screwdriver tail combined immense energies, forming a giant sphere that collided with R. Homura.

Celesta X HM once again unleashed Hikari Purgatorial Maelstrom, which engulfed and dealt damage to R. Homura.

Metalla X, Super Angemon X, and Keke joined together for a family attack. They fired their Triple Final Blaze, hitting R. Homura head-on.

Houou Mars and Hiei put their hands together. The former summoned her Houou Cosmic Flare and combined that with Hiei's Dragon of the Darkness Flames. The two polar opposite flame attacks combined into a tidal wave of silver flames shaped like a phoenix dragon hybrid. The silver phoenix dragon slammed headfirst and engulfed R. Homura.

Max unleashed his Super Tsunami Wave. At the same time, Godzillamon fired his Atomic Inferno. The combined attack collided against R. Homura.

Dai-Valkyrie Moon readied her sword and flew at R. Homura. She lifted her sword overhead and brought it over R. Homura, sending her Moon Asgardian Wave that dealt critical damage to the Rebellious Witch.

Omega X used Instant Movement to teleport right in front of a dazed R. Homura. He readily conjured his Super Tsunami Wave and fired it R. Homura's way. The beam caught R. Homura and engulfed her, but while it dealt critical damage it didn't vaporize her.

Finally, Madoka and Homura fired their holy arrows and dark bullets, damaging and sending R. Homura downward. R. Homura landed on the ground almost one inch away toward the area near the thirteen crystal containers.

(End theme)

The fight against R. Homura was over. R. Homura was damaged and her clothing was mostly torn to shreds. She sustained some injuries, including cuts on her body. Despite her injuries, she stood and fiercely glared at her opponents.

"Surrender," Devil Homura warned her counterpart.

"Please, stop this fight. You're still the same Homura no matter what your intentions," Ultimate Madoka pleaded while raising her bow and arrow.

While she stared at her oppositions, R. Homura remained quiet for a moment, mulling about Madoka and her counterpart's words.

Before the rebellious magical girl could do anything, she and the united heroes heard the sounds of ominous clapping. They became alert and saw the figure floating in mid-air above the thirteen crystal containers.

ZeedMillenniummon X greeted them. "Good day, friends. Welcome to my stash room."

(Cue LOST - Ben Linus Theme Music – Dharmacide) (0:00 – 1:18)(3:51 – 4:24)

"Good show, friends. I give that performance a 7/10, which I'd give a certain generic reviewer's posts and reviews. But, never mind that," Zeed X chortled lightly. But behind the lighthearted clapping was sinister motivations.

"It's him again!" Dai-Valkyrie Moon pointed to Zeed X.

Super Angemon X seethed at Zeed X, who wiped out his world from existence.

"You decided to come out of hiding already?" Omega X frowned. "You were acting all high and mighty back there, you decided now that we're a little worn down you come out?"

Celesta X HM turned to Omega X. "Tai, who is this?"

Max asserted. "I think I have a good idea who he is. Everyone, meet the main source of all the anomalous entities we've been purging from the Nexus this past year."

"This is it? I mean him?!" Ultima X exclaimed in shock.

"Strange, I'm not feeling any Ki from this guy," Keke added. "And I seriously doubt he's some Artificial."

"I assure you he isn't," Max said.

"Thank you for the introduction, Max Kamiya," Zeed X responded. "I'm sure I remembered two versions of you in DF-616 Prime. One who is the Watcher originally from his own destroyed D3 dimension, mentor of The One, and also the former mentor of a version of Saitou I knew named Himo Saitou. The other is the son of The One himself, almost a parallel to Athena as a child."

"Who is The One?" wondered Sayaka.

"I can guess not Neo," Kyoko remarked.

"Wait?! Am I hearing this right? There's two versions of you, Max?!" Omega X turned to Max.

"Yeah, in this other dimension there exists two versions of me," Max vaguely answered. "In fact, this DF-616 Prime he's mentioning is our universe's predecessor."

"There was a universe like ours that's always existed?!" Metalla X snapped as he approached Max. "Max, you neglected to tell us this sooner?!"

"No, dad, even though I knew," Keke interjected, causing Metalla X to turn around and glare at her. "We didn't tell you because we figured we'd go there one day during all these dimensions escapades. Y'know to surprise you."

"Now he's forced our hand," Max turned and faced Zeed X.

"Wow, we had predecessors had their own universe before we came along?" WarAngemon was in awe over this.

"That's right, Takeru. That version of you once sacrificed yourself from Virus' self-destruction instead of Taichi," Zeed X stated.

Both Omega X and WarAngemon were taken aback by this. Celesta X HM sorta blushed hearing the other Takeru sacrificed himself for her sake.

"Hey, look! Whoever you are, some of these guys might be impressed with what you're telling them, but we don't give a flying damn who you are!" Yusuke yelled toward Zeed X's way.

"Oh, then why do I see specific dimensions like Yu Yu Hakusho and Yu-Gi-Oh! having yaoi couples?" Zeed X taunted at the Spirit Detective.

"...what the hell?!" Yusuke gawked over this revelation.

Shaka was flabbergasted, but deep down snickered that her yaoi fantasies were being tickled with this revelation. Likewise, Brunhilde felt the same way.

"Damn, now I've gotta see these universes!" Brunhilde blurted out. She got irked glares from Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama. "What? I can't even fantasize about you kissing Kurama or Hiei, Yusuke."

"Don't even joke," Yusuke snarled at the Valkyrie, readily charging his finger with spirit energy.

"Yeah, and I never pegged ya to be one of those closet yaoi fangirls, Kotori!" Kuwabara yelled. "You always seemed like a tough chick who doesn't like that stuff."

"There's a lot you don't know about me, Kuwabara!"

Hiei rolled his eyes. "Do we even want to know more?"

"Well, um… guys…" Shaka blushed. "I'm kinda the same way. I like to think about Aoshi making out with another guy."

"Ok, I don't need to hear any of this!" Yusuke covered his ears. "Not that there's anything wrong with that, but…" He turned his attention back to Zeed X. "But I'm nothing like these other yaoi mes. I'm a married man first of all!"

Guilkatomon briefly queried Renrukimon. "Tell me you aren't a closet fangirl either."

Renrukimon rolled her eyes. "Are you kidding? Like I'd ever…" He must never know.

"Nice try playing mind games with us, jerk!" Dai-Valkyrie Venus pointed to Zeed X. "But we're not going to fall for any tricks! We're here to beat you the same way we just defeated your top minion!" She referred to her group defeating R. Homura. "You're not taking us down that easily!"

Dai-Valkyrie Saturn nodded. "Yes, and we've gotten rid of much of your entities. If you're all that remains, then it's clear what we must do."

Suddenly, Dai-Valkyrie Pluto recalled. "Not unless this entity can create and reincarnate different versions of himself. That's it then. I learned about you through my Cornerverse counterpart. You're ZeedMillenniummon X!"

Volodramon added. "Or, Zeed X as you'd like to refer to yourself these days!"

Kirito (Corner) began to recall and exclaimed, "I remember me and Asuna encountered him in our dimension three years ago!"

"Yeah, but what I learn upon seeing him here, the one the Cornerverse fought is not the real deal!" Asuna (Corner) added.

"So, tell us. Did you reincarnate yourself after you were defeated?" Volodramon demanded from the anomalous being. "Did you cheat death? Or was that just a mere replicate you unleashed on the Cornerverse to give our counterparts a false sense of security? Well, which is it, Zeed X?"

"And just how did you even come to exist?" Dai-Valkyrie Pluto demanded. "Your existence is one of the few mysteries even I couldn't figure out."

Zeed X chortled as he vanished, only to reappear in front of the group. "Those are loaded questions, but easy for me to answer. First off…" He turned to Volodramon. "John Smith, or Doctor-mon. I'm surprised you being Ancientmon's champion and being part-Time Lord would ask me such a simple query. You should know by now that I can reincarnate as long as the balance in the universe exists. I am the darkness to Ancientmon's light. I can't really cheat death if it's already imprinted into my being to reincarnate. And unlike reincarnations simple mortals face, I retain all the memories of my past lifetimes. And how many lifetimes have I lived before now? Too many to count. And yes, that was a mere replicate I sent to mess up that Cornerverse, alongside the one Kensuke Rainer fought that their fight threatened nearby dimensions till Zen-Oh's involvement." He veered over to Kirito (Corner) and Asuna (Corner), chuckling. "And I do apologize for my replicate's rude behavior threatening to wreck your universe. He can be quite the pest."

Kirito (Corner) retorted. "Don't toy with us, you bastard!"

Asuna (Corner) added angrily. "That other you nearly wiped out the Cornerverse!"

Zeed X sighed. "And I just apologized on his behalf. Further proof you Homo sapiens are such irrational creatures." He then snapped his fingers. "Ah, right, to answer the Time Guardian's questions!" He turned facing Dai-Valkyrie Pluto. "Pardon me, Madam Time. How did I come to exist? Well, you must be asking how my ZeedMillenniummon X self end up existing? It all started years ago shortly after my previous incarnation, known as Zeed at the time, was defeated in-universe DF-616 Prime. It took two sacrifices to subdue my previous self to allow that dimension's heroes to defeat me. Yes, I'm referring to the two individuals who've been a thorn in my side for nearly all my existence: Ryo Akiyama and Monodramon. That universe's incarnations of those two sacrificed their bodies and spirits to help purge me from the DF-616 Prime continuity… and for a while, it appeared I'd cease to exist." A sneaky grin adorned the entity's face.

"What? No, don't tell you…" Omega X didn't get to finish as Zeed X revealed.

"There was a struggle of control with my darkness that Ryo and Cyberdramon tried to subdue. For a long time, they contained me very well, but my will to return became too strong for them. I couldn't be contained anymore so I unleashed my power, causing Ryo and Cyberdramon's spirits to cease!"

"You bastard!" Guilkatomon shouted. "You killed them?!"

Renrukimon added. "Even if those two aren't our Ryo and Cyberdramon, that's not freaking right!"

Terryamon spoke in Henry's voice. "Well if you needed further proof of the multiverse theory of many Ryos running around, here it is."

Dai-Valkyrie Sedna spoke up. "And that Ryo was one of many that died doing his duty in the Nexus."

Zeed X shifted his view toward Sedna. "Ah yes, you're the other dimension crosser that's quite acquainted with Ryo Akiyama. I've come across other yous in the Nexus multiverse. I didn't bother with them knowing I'd eventually meet you. You're the original Sedna and the only one I care to acknowledge."

Dai-Valkyrie Sedna raised her staff. "And let me guess. You've come to kill me?"

"Oh no-no. Not yet anyway," Zeed X vanished as he reappeared behind Sedna and Angemon X. "By the way, I give my condolences to your sweet and innocent angel of a daughter. She died with a smile on her face, but yet you failed to protect that smile."

"BASTARD!" Angemon X snapped, instinctively punching at Zeed X.

To Angemon X's dismay, Zeed X merely sidestepped and casually walked by him.

"Oh, I'd also like to apologize for what I did to your brother, Karin Osaka," Zeed X addressed Sedna. He turned with a sad look with a big teardrop from his eye, almost resembling an emoji. "I'm sorry for breaking dear Kensuke and sending him one of his rampages. I do believe he killed three of your people?"

Sedna was stricken with grief over this. "Stop…"

Dai-Valkyrie Varuna swung Mjolnir at Zeed X's head. "Shut up, asshole!" To her dismay, Mjolnir's lightning didn't make Zeed X flinch.

Zeed X merely pushed the hammer away. "Excuse me, adults are having a conversation here."

"Don't take me lightly!" Varuna yelled out, prompting Dai-Valkyrie Quaoar to pull her away. "We want to know what you did to Orcus!"

"That's right! Where's Orcus, you bastard?!" Sedna demanded from the anomalous being.

Zeed X waved a finger in Sedna's face. "Shhh, patience. You'll know soon enough."

"Hey if we're gonna be interrupting him, let's keep it up!" Masaru roared as he rushed Zeed X and punched him square in the face.

"Yeah! Nice shot, Aniki!" ShineGreymon BM cheered him on.

"Not let's see if I can take data from you…" Masaru then saw Zeed X recover.

However, Zeed X simply gets up without a bruise much to Masaru's shock. Zeed X's face briefly changed to Pennywise the Clown (It (2017 Film)) and taunts with its exact same voice till he then ended with a smile filled with carnivorous teeth, "Ohohohoho! Nice try, little man! But we all float down here! Even the innocent Athena floats like dear Georgie! Speaking of which, you wanna know how I got these scars?!" His face then briefly changed into Pennywise the Clown (It (1990)). "C'mon, buckos? Don't ya want balloons?! Don't y'all want to stay down here? There's all kinds of cotton candies, rides, and all sorts of surprises down here! And balloons? Did I mention balloons?!" His face then briefly changed into Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)). "Haha! Come to Freddy!" His face then changed into Deadpool (2016). "Now, I'm about to do to y'all what Limp Bizkit did to music in the late-90s!"

"Gah!" Masaru freaked out.

Guilkatomon shouted. "No way! Deadpool?!"

Brunhilde sardonically remarked. "Oh goodie, this is not normal."

Zeed X's face became Bugs Bunny's as he bit into a carrot. "Ehehehe, ain't I a stinker?!"

"What the freaking hell?!" Yusuke exclaimed.

Metalla X growled. "That's supposed to scare us?! We're supposed to take this clown seriously now?!"

Dai-Valkyrie Pluto shouted. "Enough! Get serious with us!"

Homura sighed in annoyance. "We're dealing with a child, are we?"

Discarding his carrot, Zeed X's face then changed back to normal after freaking out his audience. "No respect for the classics. Oh fine, but can you blame me after reincarnating various times? It can drive you to the brink of insanity!" He then pointed to Homura without giving her a glance. "And no, I'm much older than you, Homura Akemi-Ouma. Learn your place and respect your elders!"

Homura pointed to herself. "Huh?"

"So, you can shapeshift into anything you want?" Volodramon scoffed. "And those performances were quite juvenile, ZeedMillenniummon X."

"I can turn into anything I want, but I preferably like to transform into any fictional character I like. They're a lot more fun to become," Zeed X said.

(End theme)

"In fact, all of us here are fictional characters. Created by real-life people themselves for the whole fictional omniverse." Zeed X revealed the most shocking information. "The author is rewriting our story now."

"Wait, what?! Someone's writing us right now?!" Omega X exclaimed. "No way, that's just not possible."

"No one writes for me!" Metalla X retorted with disgust. "I speak what my mind tells me! Oh, and whatever Matty boy has to say I guess."

Max frowned hearing this. "Maybe it's just me, but I do feel like someone's been writing my exact thoughts. In fact, it does seem like more than one person has written for me."

Houou Mars surmised. "Can it be this whole time we've been living people's fantasies, especially whoever is writing for us?"

"That's if whatever this jerk's telling us is true, and I don't buy it!" Guilkatomon exclaimed.

"He's just trying to get into our heads," Inumuramon said.

"And you know why you dealt with your personal depression, Takato," Zeed X mentioned an example. "The reason why Suzaku once died is due to one of the author's contributors suggesting to do it to continue your struggle with Loki and (M)otherfucker(I)mmoral(S)hi(T) taking advantage as the pinnacle. Now, you officially conquered your depression ever since you accidentally killed Mars by Suzaku's control a decade ago."

Hearing this, Guilkatomon struggled to lash out. "You didn't need to remind me."

Houou Mars addressed Guilkatomon. "Good job containing your anger there, Takato. You've matured. I'm proud of you." She smiled to him.

"Yes, even I hated (M)otherfucker(I)mmoral(S)hi(T)'s existence. Her immorality surpassed mine. I mean, why did the author create that whore in the first place?" Zeed X shrugged.

"Well, you know what? If our fates are being predetermined by a writer, he'll write us to kick your ass!" Brunhilde yelled out. "The same way I kicked Mist's ass!"

Dai-Valkyrie Moon added. "And just like every bad guy we've been put against."

Omega X nodded. "Yeah, and what will make this situation any different?!"

"Especially now that we know you're previous incarnations have been beaten. That tells us you're not infallible," Max pointed out.

"Well, what if I said that I now have influence over the writer as we speak?" Zeed X revealed.

"You're bluffing!" Shu shouted at him.

"Why should we believe you?" Gai refused to believe this.

"Yeah, like c'mon that's hard to believe," Mana said. "We have to believe everything you say at face value?"

"That's right. Show us," Homura demanded.

"You want proof?" Zeed X chortled as he produced a visual screen and took out a remote. "Let me show you."

(Cue Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance – Xehanort – The Early Years)

Zeed X then showed the heroes the visual screen. This was a flashback many years back from DF-616 Prime in a pivotal moment when his past self explained the origins of the DF-616 Prime cast.

Oh yes, because of Zeed X's influences, everyone is hearing background music.

"Years ago, you had teamed up with a boy's partner, ironically named Agumon, to rescue the original DigiDestined from my evil clutches,"Millenniummon (DF) explained.

"However, you DigiDestined were very different. There were no Digital Fusions. No Omega X for Taichi. No WarAngemon for Takeru. Not even Mystic Celesta for Hikari. You only had your Digimon partners and nothing more," Millenniummon (DF) explained further.

The historical video continued playing through until Zeed X stopped the screen. It was nostalgic indeed.

"Now I know why there are these different Digimon universes. It's thanks to many real-life fan authors and creators conjuring these parallel versions to be splintered from the Official Canon Layer," Zeed X smirked.

"So, we're all just splintered off one main source?" Zordiark X tried absorbing these details.

"We're all just products of a single source?!" Metalla X exclaimed.

Zeed X continued, "That explains many things. One is why a paralleled version of Taichi (V-Tamers) was made into a Turtle Prime symbol thanks to the fanfic author, while the official version doesn't have that trait. In Official Canon, Yamato and Sora are married in the epilogue of Digimon Season 2, thus started the example of shipping wars for a mere children's anime franchise. It was controversial. Though some are fine such as Ken/Yolei, and it's still unknown if Takeru/Hikari were to officially pair up. Interestingly, subsequent Digimon animes like Tamers do not outright show pairings and let the fans do what they pleased, such as versions of Takato and Jeri paired together, and versions of Takato and Rika like the YYGDM-01 versions seen here. The author was originally part of the shipping wars, and he had Taichi and Sora paired up in both DF-616 Prime and DF-616. The MetalSeadramon of YYGDM-01 was made into a hero thanks to another of the author's contributors. In Official Canon, BelialVamdemon and MaloMyotismon are the canon names, while specific fan authors combined these names to formed BelialMyotismon. YYGDM-01 had ShadowMetalGarurumon, while the Official Canon was named BlackMetalGarurumon."

Needless to say, the group was baffled by everything Zeed X told them. They were trying to come to grips that they're just splintered and alternate versions of existing characters.

Ultima X blinked. "Did anyone get any of that?"

Zordiark X added. "Other than me and Yolei being a couple."

WarAngemon shifted to Celesta X HM. "And in this official universe, me and Kari's status as a couple is unknown."

Celesta X HM concurred. "Everything else pretty much flew over my head."

"So, the original Matty boy ended up with Sora?" Metalla X gawked as he turned to Omega X and Max. "Look, whatever comes between Matty boy and Sora."

"Nah, we know," Omega X nodded. "We made our choices and I went with Sora. Whatever happened in this Official Canon thing or whatever is their choice."

"And who would've thought we came from a children's cartoon franchise?" WarAngemon was somewhat intrigued.

Max sighed. "Is it really that surprising?"

Brunhilde turned to MetalSeadramon. "Wow, well I have this author and his contributors to thank for you being my friend. I couldn't have asked for a better partner than you!" She hugged his face.

MetalSeadramon chuckled modestly. "And I sure as hell couldn't ask for a better Tamer than you."

Houou Mars surmised. "And I'm just splintered from an existing character who doesn't have something like the Houou?"

"Correct. Who knew that Sailor Moon is the queen of all these freaking different continuities. There was an anime released around the 1990s that differed from the manga source material." Zeed X explained in detail. "Mars had a different fiery personality, her rivalry with Moon was amplified, and loved boys. While the manga version of Mars is a calm figure and disliked most men. You, the YYGDM-01 version, have the personality of the 1990s' incarnation mixed with some of the manga. The 1990s anime had a lot of silly monster-of-the-week formulas, while the Manga and Crystal don't have it. Pluto does not even have an evil twin sister in Official Canon, alongside the Crystal version you met before. It explained why the parallel version of Sailor Cosmos was made the ruler of the multiverse resided in her Galaxy Cauldron, like the Living Tribunal, opposing with Chaos as both remained the strongest forces of nature that surpassed me."

"My original self gave birth to all these different worlds with me and you guys in it?" Moon was shocked to hear this.

"Interesting the other mes have varied personalities," Houou Mars noted.

"And I'm finding out I don't have an evil twin sister in these other continuities," Pluto realized.

Volodramon calmed down Pluto. "Yes, while that's true you're just one splinter from one source, but you're still your own individual. That makes you unique and that's what I love about you. I couldn't ask for any other Pluto than you."

"Thank you, John," Pluto was relieved to hear.

Venus added. "Wait, but I'm the original Sailor Senshi! I was the first to reawaken before Sailor Moon did! I should be credited, too."

Zeed X finally addressed Venus. "Of course, I can't forget you. You're the first to ever be conceived by your original author and artist. And you, and I mean the YYGDM-01 you was the first superhero to appear in modern times. You developed a huge fan following, gaining notoriety and respect from your fellow heroes. You're a leader by example!"

Venus' smiled broadened, flipping her blonde hair back. "And who else besides Sailor Moon is fit to lead by example? Why me of course!"

"And I shouldn't be surprised you're one of the few to show up here. I know there's a certain reader of this story who'll be pleased to know his favorite Senshi is speaking to me and giving her props," Zeed X acknowledged the fact there was a fan of the author's story that's reading this. "Anyway…"

Venus blinked in confusion. "Um, who's this reader that's a fan of mine? Well, tell him we're gonna kick your sorry ass, Zeed X!"

Zeed X turned to Sedna and the Kuipers, "And you five are examples of Sailor Earths. Sailor Moon OCs created by fanfic authors."

Quaoar gasped. "So, we're not even real."

Varuna scoffed. "Of course we are, I mean we're standing here talking and listening to this conceited jackass breaking the fourth wall."

Eris added her disdain for Zeed X. "Yeah, this is getting beyond meta."

Ixion turned to Sedna. "Are we really real, Sedna?"

Sedna nodded. "Yeah, of course, we are. We might not be official, but we exist in our world. We have our fans making fanfiction and fanart about us in our world. We also have our following. We are real as we want to be."

"I can also see why Norse Mythology is different in terms of continuity like Sailor Moon," Zeed X explained to Brunhilde. "The YYGDM-01 version is codenamed NorseA, while the Cornerverse's version is codenamed NorseΩ."

Brunhilde scowled. "Ok, look spare me all this metatalk. I get it, there's different versions of me and I'm probably someone's wish-fulfillment character."

Zeed X clapped. "Wow, I'm impressed. You get brownie points, Kotori Ayami."

Suddenly, a few chocolate brownies fall into Brunhilde's hands.

"Oh wow, these look delicious!" The Valkyrie prepared to munch them until she realized the gravity of their situation and dropped them. "Haha, how dumb you think I am?! Those brownies were probably poisoned!"

"Enough!" Homura interjected. "We're not here to play games! I could care less where me and Madoka originated from. All that matters is the here and now."

Madoka concurred. "That's right!"

"Ohh, Madoka Kaname. I knew you are a child with many opportunities in doing great things like your Official Canon self." Zeed X explained. "In fact, back when this arc was in development, you were originally supposed to be the sole character involved with no memories. There was originally a Black Digicore and Shadow Dramon concept just like DF-616 Prime until it was scrapped. Until many changes occurred from the author and his contributors, such as you and the magical girls being involved with the AU Guilty Crown dimension, and the inspiration back then of the Cornerverse for the dimension's Puellas and Kyubey to run a night restaurant called House of Madoka. Here we are now. You can thank your past dreams set in this dimension before meeting with the Triad heroes."

"So, that would explain the dreams I've had," Madoka realized. "Including that one with characters serving as chess pieces."

Homura gasped hearing this. "Really?"

"Then, what about me?!" R. Homura shouted as she stood and faced Zeed X. "I only joined you because you forced me!"

"Do you know who destroyed your home universe? It was me. I ordered a dark clone of Mana Ouma to destroy it," Zeed X answered.

(End theme)

R. Homura fell silent as this horrifying revelation came out. Everyone else was shocked. Madoka and Homura turned to R. Homura, both expressed sympathy for the Rebellious Witch.

"I knew you weren't truly bad," Madoka whispered to R. Homura.

R. Homura gritted hard as blood dripped from her lips. She has lost. Her. Shit.

Boom!

It happened so fast. R. Homura struck Zeed X with her void swords. She drove both swords through Zeed X and looked him dead in the eyes.

"YOU BASTARD!" R. Homura screamed with bloody murder in Zeed X's face.

Zeed X grabbed both swords and yanked them out. His fresh wounds closed up as if nothing happened.

"You finally just realized that, witch?" Zeed X taunted R. Homura.

"No, I've always been onto you ever since you 'recruited' me! I know you've been hiding secrets and that's why I came here…that's why I borrowed energy from Yog and others to open the door to this realm! I couldn't do it because you had every door secured!" R. Homura eyed the thirteen crystallized containers. "If I had not been interrupted, I would've destroyed them."

"Ah, so you chose to come here while all that chaos took place and while I was out greeting our friends here," Zeed X smirked malignantly. "Well played, demoness, but you forget. My eyes are everywhere. So even if you tried sneaking in here without my knowing, I would still know." He snapped his fingers as thousands of real-life eyeballs appeared all over the dimension, causing many to freak out. "Do you realize the futility of your situation, witch? In the end, your plans to betray me would've blown up in your face anyway." He quickly grabbed R. Homura's face and prepared to suck her life force dry, but Madoka and Homura blasted Zeed X, which only distracted him long enough for Madoka to retrieve R. Homura.

"He mustn't be allowed to release those containers!" R. Homura cried out. "Madoka, please…!" She grabbed the pink-haired girl's hand and pleaded.

Madoka wasn't sure what to make of this. Homura gave a pitiful look toward R. Homura and faced Zeed X.

"Don't worry, witch. I'll get to those containers in a minute," Zeed X chuckled as his body healed from Madoka and Homura's attacks. He snapped his fingers to make all the eyeballs vanish. "I thanked the author for giving me and Ryo & Monodramon receiving purpose for his first stories," Zeed X softly grinned before saying, "And the author responded in real-life: Oh Zeed/Zeed X thanked me for sending him and Ryo/Monodramon to the original DF-616 Prime universe instead of Tamers. And then taking over Apocalymon's realm to convert into his Dark Realm. You're welcome, Zeed/Zeed X."

"Well good for you, but we'll show you this author has our backs now!" Guilkatomon declared.

"All right, what now?" Shu asked.

"Despite all you've told us, we still haven't been broken," Omega X said.

"Oooh, believe me. After the hells I'm about to unleash, you'll become more broken than you've ever been!" Zeed X declared.

(Cue Person of Interest OST - Root of All Evil)

"Now, we shall begin our Dark Ending," Zeed X declared before his projectile image of himself disappeared.

The thirteen crystal containers began to tremble and erupt. Within a few moments, they had broken through. Thirteen figures are freed much to the heroes' shock.

"They're opening!" Madoka cried out.

"This is what I've been trying to prevent," R. Homura muttered dreadfully.

The first was Zeed X in his same real physical body after using his projectile image for so long while observing the Nexus. He stepped out calming clapping his hands and grinning.

The second was a draconic time demon that had a similar appearance to Omega Shenron (and Syndramon/OmegaSyndramon), including his pale white skin and the large black spikes on his back. However, he lacked the Digicores and was at full power thanks to his reincarnation. This is the original form of The Dark God and the most powerful enemy that DF-616 Prime fought in the past: Zeed. Zeed now has an updated appearance that combined some elements from his final form as a black dragon. Some colors of black-grayish reptilian scales covered his white skin. He had a pair of black demonic gargoyle wings on his back with three sharp claws equipped on each wing. His pair of white horns on his head are replaced with black Brahma bull horns. Finally, he had a black tail with a hook-like attachment at the end of the tip. His appearance as The Dark God is compared to The Devil himself.

Next are the bringers of chaos from YYGDM-01 and the greatest enemies the YYGDM heroes ever fought, the Paradais duo. The one on the left is Pluto's evil twin sister named Sailor Charon, who now took the form of Sailor Chaos. The other on the right is her Digimon partner, Millenniummon.

The next two are the Da'ath duo of GCLK-1113: One is a young blond-haired boy wearing a white robe, black clothes, and sandals; his name is Yuu, the AU son of Charon and Millenniummon. The other is a dark version of Madoka with black clothing named Kriemhild Gretchen.

Next is the Millenniummon of DF-616, the same one that freed Apocalymon with Millenniummon/Zeed X's manipulations. It took the form of Moon=Millenniummon. Beside him is the Millenniummon of DXW-06 taking the form of ZeedMillenniummon, this is a monster that Team Xros Hearts fought before.

Then, four figures calling themselves the Time Deaths emerged from their seal. The first is Sailor Charon's future self, Future Charon/Jishikitori X with the appearance of Gundam Heaven's Sword. The second is Death Phantom/Jishikiaku X with Master Gundam's appearance. The third is Pharaoh 90/Jishikikumo X with Walter Gundam's appearance. The fourth is Metalia/Jishikiushi X with Grand Gundam's appearance. These versions of Death Phantom, Pharaoh 90, and Metalia came from YYGDM-01.

Lastly was none other than the captured Sailor Orcus. Her mind was now controlled by Zeed X.

They are the Synisters, who have formed the organization known as Neo Paradais.

"Christina!" Sedna cried out as she and the Kuipers recognized their friend was on the enemy side.

"Orcus! It's us!" Eris called to her.

"I'm reading evil signatures from her now," Ixion informed, scanning Orcus with her visor. "And I mean she's radiating with dark power in her!"

"You bastard!" Varuna cursed Zeed X.

"No, it can't be!" Pluto recognized Sailor Charon, who was now Sailor Chaos.

"And Charon's Millenniummon partner!" Volodramon pointed out to Charon's partner in crime, who formerly also went by Jeremiah Grand and The Prophet.

Moon faced Charon with contempt. "You shouldn't even be here. I defeated you as Sailor Cosmos!"

"Fancy to see you again, my dearest sister, and Sailor Moon," Sailor Chaos taunted them with a haughty laugh.

Sedna conveyed anger toward Charon and Future Charon/Jishikitori X. "The last faces I ever wanted to see again."

Saturn growled toward Pharaoh 90/Jishikiushi X. "I recognize your power, Pharaoh 90!"

"Not just him, but Death Phantom!" Venus cried out.

Moon added. "And Metalia!"

Omega X gawked at Zeed the Dark God. "But, he looks just like that last Shadow Dramon we defeated!"

Shu, Gai, Inori, and Mana blanched at the sight of their old nemesis Yuu.

"You again?!" Shu cried out.

Madoka and the Puellas were none too pleased to see Kriemhild Gretchen.

"So, she was one of those you've hidden?" R. Homura shot a cold glare at Gretchen.

"The one Madoka I'm not happy to see," Sayaka added.

"But they're all supposed to be gone!" Homura protested. "How is this possible?!"

"Let's bring a few more surprise guests!" Zeed X announced.

Zeed X used his resurrection powers that six columns of anomalous light revived six villainous figures. To the heroes' big shock, these figures revealed to be Burizalor, Virus, GalacticNova X, Valmarmon, Gamera, and Arago.

Needless to say, the Ascendants and YYGDM heroes were not pleased with the 'surprise guests'.

Metalla X spat out. "Burizalor?! Just when will you stay dead?!"

Omega X pointed out each of their villains. "Burizalor?! Virus?! Yagami?!"

Now lacking a halo again, Burizalor chortled. "I'm finally out of that hell once again and been given another chance at life! It hasn't even been that long and here we meet again, Taichi, Yamato, and company. Now I can complete my revenge without the Warlord and Cyrus holding me back."

Also lacking a halo, Virus cackled. "Yes, it feels good to finally be out of that cramped chamber!" He shifted his sights on Omega X, Metalla X, Max, Celesta X HM, Angemon X, WarAngemon, Ultima X, Zordiark X, and Keke. "It's been a while, Taichi and company. And I see some of you dyed your hair. Ugh, what's with the blue? Has gold really gone out of style?"

Emerging with no halo, GalacticNova X's fury increased tenfold as he spotted Omega X. "Taichi, you can wear blue, gold, or whatever the hell you want, it won't make a difference after I crush you!"

The YYGDM heroes were shocked by the appearance of three of the central antagonists during the Dawn of Chaos conflict.

Guilkatomon cried out. "That's Valmarmon! He's back!"

KaiserGreymon gulped. "Great, now we gotta fight him again?"

Valmarmon chuckled darkly. "Indeed and this time no Granasmon to intervene."

Yusuke pointed to Arago. "And you want to go another round with us?!"

Hiei drew out his sword. "Then, we can defeat him again."

Arago said nothing and kept his glare on the Spirit Detectives.

Gamera boasted. "Sailor Senshi, we meet again. Who would've thought I'd be given another chance to finish you. And this time Lady Cosmos can't save you!"

Houou Mars retorted. "We won't need Lady Cosmos to defeat you. We'll defeat you again."

Moon readily drew out her sword. "And this time for good, you monster."

Venus balled up her fist. "And we've gotten a lot stronger since we last beat you!"

R. Homura gritted hard. "Now you've brought these villains back to break us down? Zeed X, you're a fool if you think bringing back villains will shift the tide in your favor."

Zeed X chortled. "You'd think that, but no I've augmented them to fight you at your best. For instance, I've empowered these two to more threatening levels." He pointed to Virus and GalacticNova X. "So, you Super Blue Ascendants and Ascendant Gods will have yourselves a hard time beating them. Likewise." He turned to Valmarmon, Arago, and Gamera. "I've powered them up back to their peaks before their inevitable demise. So, you'll be reliving that Dawn of Chaos gauntlet like before. Heheh, this is gonna be fun!"

Brunhilde scowled. "Oh, flipping fantastic. The last thing we wanted is reruns."

"Ooh, but some reruns aren't so bad… until the replayability factor wears off and believe me this will be your final rerun," Zeed X said.

"Yeah, we'll be pulling the plug on this reality show," Omega X powered up.

"And for good this time!" Moon declared.

"Zeed X is mine! Do what you want with these other villains!" R. Homura set her sights solely on the mastermind.

"Homura, but we can help!" Madoka offered as she and Homura stood behind R. Homura.

Zeed X raised a hand. "Ok, that's enough idle chit-chat. Ladies and gentlemen, let this show commence!"

Next chapter: The Zero Dawn

xxxxx

Ford1114's A/N: This is the big reveal and paying tribute to Chapter 21 of the Millenniummon Saga, the final arc of the original D-Fusion series.

The prologue Corner scene with Sasha, like I write it out of nowhere two months back. At first, I didn't know where to fit or should it be a separate one-shot that I was concerned it's too short. Thankfully, it has been placed as one of the chapter's prologue scenes. One of the inspiration is back in VA Ch. 11, Lazer helped out the author of how Sasha (YYGDM-01) and Skuld (YYGDM-01) come to terms with one another sharing one body. Here, I write the opposite as a deconstruction. It represents Inner Skuld (Corner) having an 'Adaptational Jerkass' moment unlike her YYGDM-01 self throughout the past Corner stories I reviewed. And now following the Helragna incident, this caused Sasha to briefly have a fallout with her past self. Let's hope they'll eventually patch up and Inner Skuld (Corner) to finally change for the better. Yes, here we have the appearance of Reynard the fox. He and the other trickster figures (Anansi, Coyote, Crow, and Tanuki-Ō) appeared together in VA Ch. 12, so expect their Corner selves to appear together in the next CG chapter.

Back to the main parts. It starts with the heroes facing R. Homura in her full power. After an intense matchup against the SNK Boss, R. Homura is defeated, yet still standing. However, before it can continue, Zeed X appears.

To remind, this is the moment that old and new fanfic readers have been waiting for. This is THE SAME Millenniummon from the original D-Fusion series. To think it all started that he was once a Machinedramon that survived from WarGreymon's onion slice attack, eventually fusing with a Kimeramon (Recent updates from Digimon's Complete Monster Tropes section that Machinedramon and Millenniummon are still one in the same, so Machinedramon is the one fully control of his actions. Yes, what was once a simple Dark Master becomes one of the biggest threats of the Digiverse greater than Apocalymon and D-Reaper.). He has discussed about how everything in the fabrics of the fandom omniverse is fictional and stuff. Zeed X has been conceptualized since 2011. I remember the first inspiration back then was when I saw the trailers of Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance and was reminded of Young Xehanort/Master Xehanort; I remember that time when I once drew his appearances. Him rebuilding the Organization XIII: this is what Millenniummon/Zeed/Zeed X does building a Neo Paradais with the members referred as the Synisters (In the original D-Fusion stories, the Synisters were titan-like demons of the Dark Realm that they would have been freed, but they remain sealed. The Synisters of Neo Paradais pay tribute that they finally have been freed. But, who's to say if we'll get to see the Synisters (DF-616 Prime) when DF-616 Prime will get involved.).

Another inspiration of Zeed X is when I remember seeing the crossover of Ben 10 and Generator Rex with the main antagonist called the Alpha Nanite. Alpha's voice actor is Michael Emerson, and the personality became imbued to Zeed X, which is something I'm thankful for.

Zeed X mentioned 'Dark Ending'. The original title of CG's final arc was called The Dark Ending pre-Super (This reminds me of The Dark Knight Trilogy title), until it's changed for the better into Fiction's Closure.

The Synisters feature the return of old villains such as the Paradais duo of YuYuGiDigiMoon and the Da'ath duo of Guilty Crown: The Lost Kingdoms. What they all have in common is they are inspired by Millenniummon/Zeed/Zeed X, alongside using the terms of Christianity and End of Times/End of Days.

Stay tune for the next-(transmission interrupted by..)

Zeed X's A/N: Hehehehe. Thank you for bringing all the details of my creation, Ford1114, also known as AnimatedFord in your early days. My presence is enough to affect the fabrics of your author's notes. The Zero Dawn has come to fruition, and my Neo Paradais are wreaking havoc amongst the author's fictional omniverse.

Let's see how the author fares at my interference below.

Kanius' A/N: (transmission turns back on) Yikes, Zeed X's really taking this fourth wall thing too far! Anyway, our feed is back.

This concludes the opening act to Cross Generations final arc and what a way to start. This chapter pretty much ends what's left of Black Rebellion and transitions smoothly into Fiction's Closure. How quickly R. Homura goes from being one of the big threats to being upstaged by the Final Boss.

What a shock to R. Homura to learn her universe was wiped by Zeed X, as if Dimitri wasn't the only one to lose a home to this fourth wall breaking psychopath.

What can I say about Zeed X's personality what hasn't been said? He has a mix of dark humor and sadism that kinda sets him apart from most of the villains we've seen up to now. And he has a personality that his previous incarnation lacked, who was mostly a powerful brute with just a tiny bit of sarcasm.

He is indeed the same original ZeedMillenniummon (otherwise just known as Zeed) in my old Digimon Fusion final story, D-Frontier: Millenniummon Saga. He's reincarnated through sheer will after purging DF-616 Prime's Ryo and Cyberdramon's spirits before absorbing their physical bodies to gain the current Zeed X form. Additionally, he has all the memories of the previous Zeed, including his defeat.

As if it wasn't already confirmed enough, but the Zeed X that appeared in Shinnen: New Year fanfic was a mere shadow. A replicate he sent to make an example of the Cornerverse. Granted, that replicate failed, but that was just part of Zeed X's long term experiment to test the powers of the Nexus. The real Zeed X has already gone and left his mark on hundreds of universes before coming here to confront our heroes. In his eyes, those other dimensions were mere warm-ups before meeting the Triad of heroes.

As Ford pointed out, Zeed X sorta plays that Young Xehanort/Master Xehanort character and now formed his own Organization XIII through Neo Paradais and each member referred to a Synister (yes that is the correct spelling for them). Judging by this chapter title, it probably was no surprise that members of the previous 'Paradais', who were central villains in YuYuGiDigiMoon, would return. The Paradais duo (Sailor Charon/Sailor Chaos, & Millenniummon) and the Da'ath duo (Yuu & Kriemhild) have returned. Additionally, Future Charon/Jishikitori X (one of the main villains of Chaosblazer's Accel Stream) has returned along with the some of the Sailor Moon Big Bads as they've been named the Future Deaths. Moreover, we have three central villains from Digimon Fusion Kai (DF-616) and three of main villains from YYGDM: Dawn of Chaos. Next chapter, Burizalor, Virus, and GalacticNova X will gain new exclusive forms just for this arc thanks to Zeed X.

And just who is this 'The One' that Zeed X referred to? No, it's not Keanu Reeves as Neo. Just wait and see. ;)

Ouch, and now poor Orcus has been converted into a Synister. This will no doubt lead to some emotional moments with the Kuipers and ultimately Kensuke when he returns.

Next time, Zeed X's Dark Ending starts with devastating results for our heroes and it won't be long 'til that MillenniRealm loses it purpose.

As for the Cornerverse scenes, I must thank Ford1114 for writing those much earlier and for putting them in this chapter instead of a separate spin-off. It fits here considering what happened to the Corner!Sasha/Skuld after she transformed into Helragna. How interesting for Ford to point out the differences between the relationships of YYGDM's Skuld & Sasha and Cornerverse's Skuld & Sasha. The latter's relationship is much more strained than the former, who've started to set aside their differences in Valkyrie Advent. Yes, that fic is still going and I hope to finish it while CG is still going with this final arc. Hopefully, VA is finished before CG! Hah, don't worry it will. I may have to slow down on CG updates so I can catch up with VA.

Anyway, that's all I have to comment on this chapter. From this point on, it's the point of no return for our heroes in this final stretch against Zeed X and his Neo Paradais. Next chapter should give an idea of how the rest of the arc will play out. And yes this arc will be re-released in Ascendancy, though that'll be months from now since as of this writing (March 17, 2018), that fic barely started the Resurrection B arc.

That's all for now until the next update! Send a review and see you soon!
