Dimension: Character Corner/San Antonio/Texas, United States

(Cue Final Fantasy XV: Episode Ignis OST - Final Boss III - Sacrifice)

The battle against Ultimate Grimhilde was approaching its climax. With nearly all of her Immoral forces destroyed, Ultimate Grimhilde was the last one left standing. Led by Neo Frigg, Silver Brunhilde (Corner), and Mist (Corner), the Valkyries and their allies continued to blast away the immoral goddess-like figure. Ultimate Grimhilde retaliated, spewing streams of green and black streams of light that spread and rained down all over sections of Downtown San Antonio and its outskirts. The Immoral One's Immorapocalypse blasted away architectures, both old and contemporary.

"This has gone on far too long, Grimhilde!" Neo Frigg declared, preparing to finish Asgard's greatest nemesis. "Valkyries, don't let up! We shalt defeat Grimhilde!"

"Easy for you to say! This is getting ridiculous!" Mist (Corner) scoffed, lobbing green blasts to deflect some of Ultimate Grimhilde's blasts.

"Hey, don't throw in the towel yet! I thought you wanted payback on this bitch?!" Silver Brunhilde (Corner) reminded her rival.

Mist (Corner) rolled her eyes sideways. "Well, yeah duh."

Reginleif (Corner) yelled out. "Valkyries, Erinyes, and company, let's bring all we have to make this the final stand!"

While the allied forces are blasting away at Ultimate Grimhilde, the Valkyries (Corner), the Erinyes (Corner) and Neo Valkyries regroup with Neo Frigg, Brunhilde (Corner), Mist (Corner), and Neo Brunhilde. The Valkyries and Erinyes face Ultimate Grimhilde's front view. Growing agitated by the constant attacks on her, Ultimate Grimhilde growled angrily, preparing to purge the Valkyries and Erinyes.

"Give it to her!" Neo Frigg rallied the Valkyries and Erinyes at the Immoral One.

Neo Brunhilde nodded. "You heard her, guys! Let's kick her ass!" She beckoned her Neo Valkyries to attack Ultimate Grimhilde.

The Valkyries (Corner), the Neo Valkyries, and the Erinyes (Corner) are the first to attack. Neo Frigg, Silver Brunhilde (Corner), and Mist (Corner) join in to assist.

Justice Gondul sent rays of white light that burned into Ultimate Grimhilde's left face, including her eye. Readying her spear, Geiravor (Corner) split said weapon into dual rifles and blasted her left eye with perfect marksmanship. Gondul (Corner) conjured her Tiwaz Spear and fired a volley of light spears. Gondul (Corner) unleashed her Light Spear Storm, which bombarded Ultimate Grimhilde's entire face and took out her left eye.

Prudence Skogul brandished her spear-like staff, which she used to slash Ultimate Grimhilde's left knee. The young Valkyrie continually targeted and slashed the behemoth's knee. This allowed Skogul (Corner) and Geirskogul (Corner) to help their daughter attack and expose Ultimate Grimhilde's now injured knee. Like sharks smelling blood, the Valkyrie and Erinye struck Ultimate Grimhilde's knee with vicious conjured small comets called Asteroid Rays and slammed them into Ultimate Grimhilde's bad knee. Numerous of these temporal fire beams bombarded Ultimate Grimhilde's massive body. Skogul (Corner) followed up as she cast Temporal Liquidation to fossilize Ultimate Grimhilde's entire left from her knee down to her toes. Ultimate Grimhilde prepared a mouth beam. As Ultimate Grimhilde's left leg fossilized and turned to dust, Geirskogul (Corner) stopped Ultimate Grimhilde's mouth beam with an antimatter blast.

"Let's get her good!" Skogul (Corner) rallied Geirskogul (Corner) as they drove their Quern-biter and Anti Quern-biter into Ultimate Grimhilde's chest. Both maidens sent temporal and antimatter energies that only slightly neutralized Ultimate Grimhilde, who was down to one knee.

Sigrun (Corner), Reginleif (Corner), and Courage Sigrun swiftly assaulted the behemoth with melee attacks. Courage Sigrun dove into Ultimate Grimhilde's face and delivered a quick Thunderpunch to Ultimate Grimhilde's right cheek with bone-shattering force. Reginleif summoned Surtur's sword and slashed Ultimate Grimhilde's right shoulder. The strike from the fiery sword unleashed flames that burned the titan's shoulder, exposing burned skin and a shoulder bone popping out. Sigrun (Corner) then swooped down with Mjolnir and blasted a full-powered Mjolnir Strike. Ultimate Grimhilde took a face full of lightning that burned the right half of her face. More lightning leaked out from the legendary hammer and electrocuted her entire upper body.

Skuld (Corner), Rota (Corner), and Temperance Skuld viciously targeted Ultimate Grimhilde's upper body. Skuld (Corner) and Temperance Skuld took turns slashing into the behemoth's chest, tearing off the flesh with chained hooks. Rota (Corner) joined in as she took turns delivering slashes. Temperance Skuld unleashed green blasts that burned Ultimate Grimhilde's body. Ultimate Grimhilde desperately belched green and black blasts at the trio. Skuld (Corner) twirled her scythe, which sliced and dissolved Ultimate Grimhilde's ember-like blasts. Not one to be outdone by her rival, Rota (Corner) took out her sword and slashed into Ultimate Grimhilde's chest. Dowsing herself in green Niflheim flames, Skuld (Corner) slammed into Ultimate Grimhilde's gut and burned the behemoth's torso. Skuld (Corner) then summoned a dark sphere, derived from Helragna's power, and blasted a hole through Ultimate Grimhilde's torso.

"All right, they've got her ass down! It's our move now!" Silver Brunhilde (Corner) declared as she, Neo Frigg, Neo Brunhilde, and Mist (Corner) launched an all-out assault on the wounded Ultimate Grimhilde.

Mist (Corner) conjured her Fafnir's orb and blasted Ultimate Grimhilde's entire face with a dark green beam. As she blindsided the Immoral One, Neo Frigg, Silver Brunhilde (Corner), and Neo Brunhilde launched simultaneous attacks on her. Neo Brunhilde unleashed blue flames, which burned Ultimate Grimhilde. Silver Brunhilde (Corner) cupped her hands and launched her newly achieved Aesir Kamehameha, which had enough force to push Ultimate Brunhilde back. Neo Frigg raised her sword and swung down, sending a white divine light that lacerated the centermost part of Neo Grimhilde's chest. Ultimate Grimhilde nearly collapsed, barely managing to sit on his knee.

Super Golden Kirin and Aesirzord double teamed on two Mistzillas. Rushing into one Mistzilla, Super Golden Kirin wiped it out with a golden trail of sacred light. Aesirzord conjured its Power Gram and obliterated the other Mistzilla in one slash. The duo then shifted their focus toward the injured Ultimate Grimhilde. They charged the behemoth and viciously attacked Ultimate Grimhilde. Aesirzord slashed and chopped off the Immoral One's right hand.

"All right, Rangers! Let's power-up that Gram!" Brunhilde Ranger rallied her team.

"Right!" The other Valkyrie Rangers replied.

The Sailor Maidens assisted Kotori & MetalSeadramon (Youko-Earth), Kratos & Atreus, Akane, Omnimon Merciful Mode, Jesmon, Negro Freeza, the Academia heroes, the non-Saitama One-Punch Man heroes, Ford (Corner), and the Lesbian Valkyrie duo against the remaining Mist clones, the Dai-Valkyrie Mist clones, Mistruxes, and Transmogrified Mists.

"Their numbers are dwindling! Keep it up, guys!" Sailor Brunhilde called out to her Sailor Maidens and their allies.

"Hey, look at that!" Sailor Suzaku pointed toward a teenage girl resembling Kotori Ayami, but she surprised them by drawing out a deck of cards.

"Are these Duel Monster cards?!" Sailor Seiryuu blanched in shock.

"They're not just any Duel Monster cards! They're Valkyrie cards!" Tuxedo Norse pointed out.

"Wow, there's a duelist version of me out there?!" Kotori (Youko-Earth) exclaimed.

"Come forth, my Valkyrie assembly!" Kotori (Duelist) yelled out, using Ride of the Valkyries to summon four of her Valkyrie Duel Monsters: Valkyrie Zweite, Valkyrie Erste, Valkyrie Dritte, and Valkyrie Brunhilde. "Now, Brunhilde! Fusion!" She utilized a Zexal-like power akin to Yuma Tsukumo's and merged with Valkyrie Brunhilde. Her regular clothing was replaced with Brunhilde's warrior garb and her short dark blue hair became longer and cerulean. She readied her sword and shield. "Yeah! Let's ride into battle, my Valkyries!"

With that, Brunhilde (Duelist) led Zweite, Erste, and Dritte to engage some Mist clones, Dai-Valkyrie Mists, and Mistruxes. Brunhilde (Duelist) quickly bisected a Mist clone and fired a light beam from her shield, which wiped out several Mistruxes.

"Look at her go!" Sailor Byakko exclaimed.

"She and her team are handling things well!" Sailor Genbu said.

Sailor Brunhilde smiled in approval. "Duelist Kotori and team would make great allies for us. What do you think, Tuxedo Norse?"

"They sure would, Sailor Brunhilde."

The Valkyrie & Erinye Lantern Corps, the Zodiac Valkyries, Moon/Cosmos Aspect (Corner), Omega X Ascendancy Instinct (Corner), Metalla X (Corner), Super Angemon X (Corner), Dramon X (Corner), Celesta X HM (Corner), Max (Corner), Saitama, Sailor Spirit, R. Homura, Tempus Pluto (Corner), Sailor Chaos (Corner), Volodramon (Corner), Millenniummon (Corner), TOM, Takeru Cage, Tabaga, and the others continued their aerial attack on Ultimate Brunhilde's upper body. Even the villains like Apocaly X (Corner), Belial X (Corner), and the Digital Warlord (Corner) dealt some damage to the titan.

"They've brought her down to her knees!" Moon/Cosmos Aspect (Corner) called out, noticing Ultimate Brunhilde down on her knee.

"Great work, my friends!" Tempus Pluto (Corner) called out to Neo Frigg (YYGDM-01) and company.

Sailor Chaos (Corner) chortled as she added sardonically. "Wow, who knew that other Brunhilde would do this much damage?"

Omega X Ascendancy Instinct (Corner) added. "Hell yeah! We can win this now, guys!"

Dramon X (Corner) scoffed. "Damn, I wanted to smash her face up no one will recognize the big whore."

Metalla X (Corner) interjected with a sneer. "Not if I blow her head clean off."

R. Homura added. "Yes, the sooner we end this, the sooner I can confront Zeed X."

Saitama stood atop Ultimate Grimhilde's crown. "Ooook, should I deal the final blow then? I'm starving." Note to self: never skip breakfast.

Green Lantern Brunhilde readied her Lantern ring. "Let's not take any chances then! We're wrapping this son of a bitch up!" She and the other Valkyrie/Erinye Lanterns fired multi-colored beams simultaneously at Ultimate Brunhilde's body, preparing to seal her up.

Neo Frigg sensed Adora (YYGDM-01)'s presence in the center of Ultimate Grimhilde's neck.

"I've found her! Follow me, you three!" Neo Frigg beckoned Silver Brunhilde (Corner), Mist (Corner), and Neo Brunhilde to join her.

As the four maidens struck Ultimate Grimhilde's neck, Neo Frigg sliced a fissure into the Immoral Goddess's throat. Once opening up Ultimate Grimhilde's neck, Neo Frigg revealed Adora (YYGDM-01) unconscious body covered in a mucus-filled sac. Neo Frigg drove her sword through the appendages holding sac and cut them. She surgically removed Adora (YYGDM-01)'s sac out of the Immoral One and yanked her out.

"I've got you…" Neo Frigg growled, conveying the disgust she had to save her nemesis.

"Good! Now hurry up and yank her ass out!" Silver Brunhilde (Corner) called out.

"ARGH! THAT'S IT! I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU BUGS! THOU MUST ALL DIE!" Screamed the Immoral Goddess, who unleashed a bright green aura that repelled most of her opposition away. She noticed Neo Frigg (YYGDM-01) was about to free Adora (YYGDM-01). "NO YOU DON'T! SHE'S MINE, BRUNHILDE! MINE FOR KEEPS!" Her screams became thunderous titan roars.

Much to Neo Frigg's chagrin, tendril-like appendages popped out of her neck and pulled Adora (YYGDM-01) out from her hands. Adora (YYGDM-01) was then reabsorbed inside Neo Grimhilde. Layers of new skin sealed up the hole in her neck.

"NO ONE TAKES MY INTERNAL SOURCE! ADORA FROST IS MINE AND ONLY MINE!" Boasted Ultimate Grimhilde. Her already crazed and psychotic face became even more twisted. A demented grin appeared on her face. Her eyes and mouth contorted, showing off crazy facial tics. A wave of green energy engulfed her from head to toe. "NOW I SHALL TRANSCEND BEYOND A MERE GODDESS AND BECOME A REALM! I SHALL CONVERT THE OMNIVERSE INTO MY OWN IMMORAL DOMINION!"

With that, the Immoral Goddess ascended and reached a new apex of divine power. Her body grew, quickly absorbed the Mistruxes and Mist clouds into her being. Her physical essence assimilated everything in her way. It wasn't long as San Antonio was converted into Ultimate Grimhilde's first immoral dominion. Then, the entire state of Texas became assimilated into the Immoral Goddess's dominion. Then, the entire North America continent; then, the Americas; then, the entire globe; and then the entire Cornerverse.

"YES, AND THIS IS ONLY THE START! BECOME ONE WITH ME, OMNIVERSE!" Ultimate Grimhilde delightfully enjoyed converting the world into her dominion. She then asserted her full sovereignty and established the Cornerverse as her own Realm. "YOU ARE ALL IN MY IMMORAL CAULDRON!"

She completed her very final transformation and became Infinite Immorality Grimhilde. Just as her Immoral Compression was set to completely convert the Cornerverse, the Valkyries, Erinyes, and their allies found themselves face to face with less of a goddess and more of a nightmarish realm.

"We're fucked," Silver Brunhilde (Corner) gaped in aghast.

"This can't be it!" Neo Frigg adamantly refused to accept defeat.

Infinite Immortality Grimhilde's laughter was heard spreading throughout her Immoral Cauldron. In response to her opposition, she unleashed a deadly outbreak of black energy blasts. This black storm, called Immoral Rain, spread out and started targeting all of her opposition. While many were fortunate enough to avoid these deadly blasts, more than half were killed and wiped out.

Among the death toll consisted half of the Zodiac Valkyries (Taurus Valkyrie, Scorpio Valkyrie, Pisces Valkyrie, Libra Valkyrie, Aries Valkyrie), Orange Lantern Rota, Blue Lantern Geiravor, Star Sapphire Sigrun, Indigo Geirskogul, the Valkyrie Rangers/Aesirzord, Mist Repulsa, Skögul (Les), Sailor Seiryuu, Sailor Genbu, and Valkyrie Brunhilde (Duelist)'s Valkyrie Duel Monsters.

Moon/Cosmos Aspect (Corner) cried out in horror. "Oh no!"

Tempus Pluto (Corner) yelled out. "And this is only the beginning of the casualty numbers if she isn't stopped right away!"

Sailor Chaos (Corner) scowled, scornful for feeling helpless against Infinite Immortality Grimhilde. "Sheesh, to think I had similar ambitions to rule over not just the Cornerverse, but also the Omniverse. Now I realize just how ludicrous that foolish ambition was."

Sailor Spirit mourned half of her fallen Zodiac Valkyries. "We will avenge you, my sisters."

Green Lantern Brunhilde powered up with her Green Lantern ring's willpower. "I'm not gonna forget what you did to some of my colleagues!"

Enraged by her lover's death, Sailor Suzaku roared as fiery flames burst out of her. "You're going to pain for killing my Rika, you monster!"

Göndul (Les) cried out passionately. "And I will avenge my Skögul!"

The heroes quickly went at the Immoral Entity and attacked her Immoral Cauldron.

"I need to end this…!" Neo Frigg then stopped and felt pain in her head. She grasped the temples of her head. "Ugh, what now?!"

Suddenly, Neo Frigg's mind went blank and nightmarish visions from the future showed up like during her previous battle against Dea Mist.

The first vision showed Infinity Immorality Grimhilde succeeding in her Immoral Compression. She ended up destroying the omniverse, Zeed X, and the Galaxy Cauldron alongside both Cosmos and Chaos aspects.

The second vision showed a fearful Kotori (YYGDM-01, depowered from her Neo Frigg state), Takato (YYGDM-01), Rika (YYGDM-01), and Himura (YYGDM-01) kept alive by Infinite Immorality Grimhilde inside her Immoral Cauldron. It showed an NSFW vision of the immoral realm breeding with her four victims in horrific ways. The four attempted to resist, but their minds became overwhelmed by the immoral violation.

The third vision showed the populated race of Xemorals spreading across the omniverse. Beings with character traits similar to the Xenomorphs, D-Reaper and its agents, and the Aparoids.

The fourth vision showed an Immoral-Crystal Tokyo with an avatar of Neo Grimhilde in her base form, who ruled like a mad ruler. Xemoral civilians are seen cheering for her tyranny.

The fifth NSFW vision showed a nude Rika (YYGDM-01) being forced to breed with a Xemoral shaped like a D-Reaper Horn Striker. The Xemoral is seen behind Rika (YYGDM-01) with its long penis (off-screen) already inside her.

The sixth vision showed a nude Takato (YYGDM-01), attempting to gain the last of his free will, falling into the arms of a figure looking like a nude Rika. But it's an illusion by Infinite Immorality Grimhilde, which is revealed to truly be a Xemoral shaped like the J-Reaper with Mist's hairstyle, who is actually born from Takato (YYGDM-01) and the immoral abomination's production. Takato (YYGDM-01)'s mind is permanently broken with an insane smile and showed an NSFW vision of him enjoying intercourse and kissing with the J-Reaper Xemoral.

The last NSFW showed a pregnant nude Kotori (YYGDM-01) and a nude Himura (YYGDM-01) receiving the most torturous violation from Infinite Immorality Grimhilde's core. Two tendrils with faces shaped like Kouichi (YYGDM-01) and Jeri (YYGDM-01) taunted the mentally broken Kotori (YYGDM-01) and Himura (YYGDM-01). The tendril faces kissed them in a gross moment. The immoral abomination is pregnant and she (alongside Kotori (YYGDM-01)) started producing more and more Xemorals. The Mad Immoral let out a horrifically grotesque laugh that's heard throughout the immoral omniverse.

NOOOO! Neo Frigg screamed horrifically and internally. She awoke with a start and screamed out. "...NOOOO!" She shook off the disgusting visions of the possible future from her mind and returned to reality. She witnessed her allies blasting and damaging the Immoral Cauldron containing Infinite Immortality Grimhilde. "I WILL NOT REPRODUCE YOUR OFFSPRING, YOU VILE AND DISGUSTING MONSTER!"

While fighting off her opposition, Infinite Immortality Grimhilde caught sight of Neo Frigg glowing with divine white light that seemed to neutralize the darkness shrouding the sky.

"WHAT'S THIS?! HOW DARE YOU PURIFY MY ESSENCE! I WILL NOT LET YOU DESTROY MY AMBITIONS!" The Immoral One howled with fury.

Neo Frigg's fury escalated to new levels. "AND I WILL NOT LET YOUR IMMORAL ESSENCE POLLUTE OUTSIDE THIS DIMENSION! THIS IS WHERE YOU END, GRIMHILDE!"

Fuming with anger, Neo Frigg felt an incredible surge of divine power flow out of her. This power came directly out of her Moon Force Crystal and resonated in her. Infinite Immortality Grimhilde became greatly disturbed by the White Valkyrie's ever flowing powers.

Silver Brunhilde (Corner), Mist (Corner), Moon/Cosmos Aspect (Corner), Tempus Pluto (Corner), R. Homura, Sailor Chaos (Corner), Volodramon (Corner), Millenniummon (Corner), Omega X AI (Corner), Metalla X (Corner), Super Angemon X (Corner), Dramon X (Corner), and others watched Neo Frigg enveloped in a glowing white aura.

Then, the next thing the Immoral One knew, her left face was crushed by a heavy impact blow.

Bam!

What followed was a resounding blow that echoed throughout the Cornerverse and the pain could be felt all over the omniverse.

Infinite Immorality Grimhilde saw Neo Frigg already shooting up with her fist firmly planted in the Immoral monster's face. Neo Frigg's face contorted with fury, the pupils in her eyes briefly turning golden and then fading out. Neo Frigg then landed a kick that stunned the Immoral One.

"I'M NOT LETTING YOU GET AWAY WITH ANY MORE PAIN AND ANGUISH!" Neo Frigg screamed as she put her hands together, picking up on a learned technique based on her favorite Dragon Ball technique.

"That's the move I just learned to use!" Silver Brunhilde (Corner) shouted. "Heh, great minds think alike."

"Yes, let her have it!" Omega X AI (Corner) encouraged the White Valkyrie.

"Let's see how you like this! Cram that down her throat!" Mist (Corner) hollered.

Infinite Immortality Grimhilde charged up her finishing blast and fired it from her mouth.

Neo Frigg charged up her hands and fired a full-power White Aesir Kamehameha at Infinite Immorality Grimhilde's Immorapocalypse. Behind Neo Frigg are the Valkyries (Corner) and Erinyes (Corner) supporting her by lending their energies. Brunhilde (Corner) and Mist (Corner) are in the front as they touched Neo Frigg's back.

Behind the eleven maidens are spiritual images of Brunhilde (YYGDM-01)'s allies and even her enemies: Kouichi, Takato, Rika, Himura, Henry, Jeri, Sara, Kenta, Philippe, Skuld, Skogul, Gondul, Sigrun, Alec, Urd, Verdandi, Ford (Story), Odin, Frigg, Freya, Thor, Hela, Heimdall, Reginleif, Loki, Fenrir, Jormungandr, Fafnir, Wyrm, Zmey, Aerialvern, Nidhogg, Surtur, Green-eyed Frost Giant Chief, Utgard-Loki, Brokk & Eitri, Harald, Skoll & Hati, Oberon & Titania, Puck & Mab, Vidar, Vili, Ve, and Thrud.

The mythical energy struggle is strong enough to shook the Nine Realms, both Corner and YYGDM-01. An infinity symbol with elements of Nordic runes is seen between the two attacks.

"IMMORALITY! IMMORALITY! IMMORALITY!" Infinite Immorality Grimhilde gave vociferate cry, which was heard throughout the whole omniverse.

"She's got Grimhilde at a standstill! This is our chance!" Moon/Cosmos Aspect (Corner) rallied the United Forces.

R. Homura crossed her Singer's Sword and Dancer's Sword, unleashing endless lasers from the sky. She coupled these laser with twilight spheres and weapon constructs that pummeled and tore through Infinite Immorality Grimhilde's defenses.

Sailor Chaos (Corner) and Millenniummon (Corner) fused into FeralChaosMillenniummon (Corner). The merged entity unleashed its Flagro Paradais Cannon and cracked open Infinite Immorality Grimhilde's shields.

Tempus Pluto (Corner) and Volodramon (Corner) merged into Tempus Pluto Volo Mode (Corner). The Digi-Sailor launched Temporal Exaflare, unleashing an endless barrage of temporal energies that wiped out more of the Immoral One's shields.

Dramon X (Corner) tapped into his Ascendant God powers. He then combined his Draco Cannon with Purge Slash, forging his S.O.L. Jihad Blade, which he then used to create a beam that doubled like a sword. He took the divine-powered blade and unleashed a flurry of slashes that ripped up the Immoral One's shields.

Omega X AI (Corner) fired his Supreme Tsunami Wave at Infinite Immorality Grimhilde. Metalla X (Corner) fired his Gamma Burst Blaze. Super Angemon X (Corner) charged up Ki in his hands and shot a Super Final Blaze. Max fired a Super Tsunami Wave. The Ascendants' beams caused more of Infinite Immortality Grimhilde's shields to go down.

Then, from out of nowhere, Saitama landed a swift one punch that destroyed most of the Immoral One's defenses.

Moon/Cosmos Aspect (Corner) unleashed a full-powered blast from her Cosmos Crystal, an empowered form of the Silver Crystal. This had enough power to take most of the Immoral One's remaining shields.

"Take that!" Silver Brunhilde (Corner) yelled out.

"Stay focused, you idiot!" Mist (Corner) chided her.

The Valkyries (Corner) and Erinyes (Corner) sent another flow of their divine energies to power up Neo Frigg further. Behind them and the spiritual images are Yggdrasil, Ginnungagap, and even Ymir appeared in the background. Neo Frigg received more than enough of a boost to unleash a divine force that shattered the Immoral One's remaining shields and quickly wiped out the Immoral Cauldron. The Immoral One gaped in horror as her dominion started crashing down in front of her.

Unaware of the Mad Immoral, Scott and Neuromancer appeared at the right time. By combining their meta powers, they removed the sheer power out of Infinite Immorality Grimhilde! This caused the immoral realm to devolved, as the unconscious body of Adora Frost (YYGDM-01) gets expelled out of the immoral abomination.

"Back down the pecking order you go," Mr. Popo commented with a smile.

"Way back down, which is good for us," Takeru Cage added.

"NOOO! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!" Infinite Immortality Grimhilde screamed as she quickly devolved into Ultimate Grimhilde and eventually regressed to Neo Grimhilde.

The Immoral One's influence faded in conjunction with her decreasing power. The Mist face clouds vanished. Her corrupted influence over San Antonio subsided. Every trace of her influence was gone. The buildings and points of interest destroyed were restored as good as new. The Cornerverse was free of Neo Grimhilde's immoral influence.

(End theme)

"No… no… this cannot be! NOOO!" Neo Grimhilde screamed with fury. "I was going to have the omniverse under my thumb!"

Neo Frigg, the Valkyries (Corner), and the Erinyes (Corner) landed where Neo Grimhilde was. The immoral witch glanced over her shoulder and snarled with anger.

"Grimhilde, it's over. You hath no chance of beating just me now," Neo Frigg said, now holding Adora (YYGDM-01)'s body in her arms.

"Damn you, Brunhilde…" Neo Grimhilde grunted as Grimhilde's soul popped out of her.

"There! Destroy that soul before it gets away!" Silver Brunhilde (Corner) cried out.

Then, the united forces combined their powers to wipe Grimhilde (YYGDM-01)'s soul out of existence. Knowing she will not reunite with Giuki and Gunnar in the afterlife, Grimhilde (YYGDM-01) could calmly accept her end as the last trace of her existence is wiped out.

"Is it finally over?" Mist (Corner) asked as she saw Neo Grimhilde collapse seemingly now a lifeless husk without a soul.

Neo Frigg looked down at Adora (YYGDM-01). "Well, I have who I've been looking for and that body is just a doll without a soul."

Tempus Pluto VM (Corner) warned Neo Frigg. "You might want to return to your world as soon as possible, Kotori Ayami."

"Yes, I know."

Moon/Cosmos Aspect (Corner) nodded. "We'll take care of the rest here."

Silver Brunhilde (Corner) turned to her teammates. "Well, we saved the omniverse and prevented a psychopath's rise! This does call for a celebration!"

Mist (Corner) sighed. "A little too soon to celebrate. Isn't there that Zeed X villain still out there?"

Neo Brunhilde chuckled. "Don't worry, the other Kotori and her friends can handle him. I mean, the Zeed X that attacked the Cornerverse was beaten! They've got a chance!" As she said this, she turned her back.

Bam!

Suddenly, a beam shot through Neo Brunhilde and knocked her out. She fell unconscious to everyone's horror. Silver Brunhilde (Corner) quickly caught her future daughter.

"Hitori! Hitori?!" Silver Brunhilde (Corner) cried out, shaking her daughter, but she got no immediate response.

The other Neo Valkyries crowded near their fallen leader and cried over her apparent 'death'. However, Silver Brunhilde (Corner) still felt a pulse.

"No, she's alive…!" Silver Brunhilde (Corner) gasped. "But, if she isn't responding, she's fallen into a comatose state."

Laughter was heard. Everyone had their sights on Neo Grimhilde, who stirred and picked herself up. Neo Grimhilde stood panting and laughing. Her right hand glowed with dark lime energy, which was enough evidence that she shot down Neo Brunhilde.

"You thought you got rid of me?! Hehehehe!" Neo Grimhilde cackled. "What? You thought severing dear Adora and the original Grimhilde out of me means that'd be the end of me?! Hah, sorry to disappoint, but during our merger, I siphoned enough life energy from both to sustain this form and make it my third individual personality!" She gathered enough dark energy and fired a dark beam at the United Forces.

(Cue Final Fantasy XV OST - Somnus Ultima) (0:00 - 1:41)

Neo Frigg quickly intercepted Neo Grimhilde's attack.

"I. DON'T. NEED. ADORA. ANYMORE!" Neo Grimhilde screamed as she set her sights on Adora (YYGDM-01)'s body. She prepared to wipe out the remaining excess holding her back. "FUCK IT! I'LL KILL HER ALONG WITH THAT VALKYRIE BRAT!" She also turned toward Neo Brunhilde, intending to further incite Silver Brunhilde (Corner).

"I DON'T THINK SO!" Both Neo Frigg and Silver Brunhilde (Corner) defiantly roared and attacked Neo Grimhilde. Neo Frigg threw Adora (YYGDM-01) to Tempus Pluto VM (Corner), who caught her.

Wham!

Neo Frigg and Silver Brunhilde (Corner) punched Neo Grimhilde. Their double blow knocked Neo Grimhilde back. Neo Grimhilde tried fighting off the Brunhilde duo.

"Hey, quit hogging the glory, you two! I owe that bitch!" Mist (Corner) snapped as she fired green blasts at Neo Grimhilde. "I'll make sure you remember me!"

The Valkyries (Corner) and the Erinyes (Corner) joined in to take down Neo Grimhilde.

"Bring her down!" Neo Frigg declared the final execution.

With that, Neo Frigg, the Valkyries (Corner), and the Erinyes (Corner) managed to brutally injure Neo Grimhilde in epic fashion. Each one armed themselves with astral swords conjured by Neo Frigg akin to the Knights of the Round. They struck down Neo Grimhilde's body and soul.

Skuld (Corner) used her chains to constrict the Immoral Witch, as one of her chains pierced through the witch's right leg and swung/bashed her like a ragdoll before phasing to slash at her with her sword and throwing her up to the sky.

Rota (Corner) viciously grabbed Neo Grimhilde's hair and ripped out the witch's right eye from a bloody socket with her bare hand, caused the baneful witch to scream out in excruciating pain. Rota (Corner) followed up by slashing her down with her sword along with tearing off half of the witch's hair.

As Neo Grimhilde screamed falling down, Gondul (Corner) and Geiravor (Corner) slashed her in the back with their swords while brutally tearing apart Neo Grimhilde's wings and exposing her dangling spinal cord.

Sigrun (Corner) kicked and slashed her chest, sending Neo Grimhilde falling to the ground. Neo Grimhilde got up beyond infuriated until Reginleif (Corner) slashed half of her left arm off with her sword and sent her flying horizontally.

Skogul (Corner) and Geirskogul (Corner) came in to deliver a flurry of slashes imbued with temporal and antimatter energies that affected Neo Grimhilde's chest and face. Skogul (Corner)'s hand poked through Neo Grimhilde's chest and used her time powers to turn Neo Grimhilde's ribcage into dust as both Gemini maidens pushed her away.

Crippled almost beyond repair, Neo Grimhilde tried to regenerate, but the maidens didn't give her the chance.

Neo Grimhilde backed off, haranguing at the ten maidens (Corner). "Y… You… YOU AND YOUR ALLIES REDUCE ME TO THIS?! COWERING IN FEAR?! YOU WILL ALL PAY FOR THIS DEARLY!" However, as she turned toward Neo Frigg (YYGDM-01), her fury peaked. "BUT… YOU! YOU'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS! YOU'VE SQUANDERED MY CHANCES OF BECOMING THE IMMORAL RULER OF ALL THE OMNIVERSE! BRUNHILDE, YOU'VE BECOME MORE THAN A THORN TO MY SIDE! YOU'VE BECOME A DISEASE WHICH THREATENS MY EXISTENCE! FOR THAT, YOU MUST BE PURGED!"

Neo Frigg retorted. "And your shouting is exhausting me." She turned to both Silver Brunhilde (Corner) and Mist (Corner). "What do you say we end this?"

As both nodded, Silver Brunhilde (Corner) and Mist (Corner) joined Neo Frigg as they shoved their astral swords into Neo Grimhilde's body. Silver Brunhilde (Corner)'s sword pierced through the witch's left shoulder. Mist (Corner)'s sword went through the immoral woman's right shoulder. Neo Frigg drove her sword through Neo Grimhilde's chest.

"NOOOOO! DAMN YOU ALL! CURSE YOU ALL!" Neo Grimhilde vehemently screamed while spitting dark blood.

After pinning down the immoral witch, the trio combined their attacks. Silver Brunhilde (Corner) formed red and blue light. Mist (Corner) conjured green light. Neo Frigg formed white light. They combined their divine energies and unleashed their final attack to purge the screaming witch.

"PERISH FOR ALL TIME!" The trio yelled out together, focusing their powers to obliterate every trace of Neo Grimhilde, whose blood-curdling screams echoed and her body dissolved right down from skin to muscles to bones to dust.

Neo Grimhilde was finished. Her baneful existence was purged.

(1:42 - 2:01)

Everyone relaxed as the threat was eliminated. Neo Frigg, Silver Brunhilde (Corner), and Mist (Corner) fell to their knees, exhausted from giving it their all.

"You've been avenged, Hitori," Silver Brunhilde (Corner) muttered her future daughter's name.

"I hope we never meet again," Mist (Corner) muttered, severing her last ties to Grimhilde.

"It's finally over," Neo Frigg panted.

(End theme)

However, there was no rest for the weary, especially since Brunhilde's mission wasn't over. Moon/Cosmos Aspect (Corner) used her Cosmos Crystal to heal Neo Frigg, restoring her to full health and power. Neo Frigg stood good as new.

"Thank you. I needed that," Neo Frigg smiled to Moon/Cosmos Aspect (Corner). She watched Silver Brunhilde (Corner) holding Neo Brunhilde.

"Thanks for getting rid of that monster with us," Silver Brunhilde (Corner) said.

"But, what about her?" Neo Frigg asked, looking over Neo Brunhilde's body with deep concern.

"We'll take care of her," Tempus Pluto VM (Corner) reassured, handing Adora's body to Neo Frigg. "Our world will recover as it did before, but you have an important battle ahead of you, perhaps even more crucial than this one."

"Right, I know," Neo Frigg realized, looking over Adora. "But, I can't take my Adora back with me to the fight."

Mist (Corner) scoffed. "Sure, you can. Let her piss herself scared when she sees all the fighting going on."

Reginleif (Corner) sighed. "No, it's best you take her back to your home first, Kotori."

Neo Frigg nodded. "Fine, I will."

R. Homura patted Neo Frigg's back. "Come, let's go. I know the exact dimension where you'll be needed."

Just then, Tempus Pluto VM (Corner) split back to her original Tempus Pluto self and Volodramon (Corner). Volodramon (Corner) opened a portal for them.

"Here you go, ladies. You don't want to waste any more time," Volodramon (Corner) offered.

"Thank you," R. Homura said as she entered the portal. "Coming?"

Neo Frigg nodded. "Yeah, I am…" She turned to the Valkyries (Corner) and Erinyes (Corner). "Thank you all so much." She faced Reginleif (Corner), Ford (Corner), and Skogul (Corner). "Especially you three for helping some of my friends save my Jessica and Ford." She shifted over to Silver Brunhilde (Corner). "And it was a pleasure fighting with you and our other counterparts."

Silver Brunhilde (Corner) smiled. "We sure made it something to remember, 'cause this might be the last we see each other."

"If that's the case, take care, other me," Neo Frigg walked away carrying Adora (YYGDM-01). "Hey, other Homura, let's make a quick pit stop before you take me where I need to go."

"All right," R. Homura complied.

As the portal closed, the United Forces spread out to recover some of their injured allies and prepared to collect enough McGuffins to revive the fallen.

Brunhilde (Corner) continued staring off at the spot the portal closed. She still had Neo Brunhilde in her arms. Mist (Corner) walked behind and tapped her.

"Hey, what are you staring off at? C'mon, let's get your brat to a recovery space."

"Yeah…" Brunhilde (Corner) walked off with her rival. She smiled. I'll never forget this, other me.

Dimension: YYGDM-01/Shinjuku, Tokyo (新宿区, 東京)

As the last of the laughing Mist clouds vanished, the heroes of YYGDM-01 were relieved, but then they were once again on edge. They still had no idea a bigger war had still yet to be decided.

Kenta & MarineAngemon, Kazu & Guardromon, and Kiyoko stood together on a rooftop. Before any could say anything, a portal opened above them.

Boom!

Something fell right on top of Kenta, who fell down. A blonde-haired woman was seen lying right on top of him.

"Whoa, Kenta! Are ya ok, dude?!" Kazu exclaimed. As soon he turned the body over, his face blanched as he saw who it was. "Holy shit! Adora?!"

"Adora…?!" Kenta yelled as he saw her on top of him. "Did she literally fall out of the sky and on top of me?"

Kiyoko frowned, eyeing Adora. "How convenient and just as those creepy-faced clouds disappeared."

"Pipipi!" MarineAngemon poked around over Kenta. He squeaked fearfully, not even daring to get close to Adora.

"Ugh, man, so after all this time, she's back…?" Kenta muttered, looking down at Adora. "I don't even want to know where the hell you've been."

"I hope Takato and the others are doing all right. We haven't heard from them since…" Kazu worried.

"You and me both, Kazu."

Dimension: DF-616 Prime/Tokyo, Japan (東京都, 日本)

The stage was set for the final decisive battles in this dimension. This main event would determine the fate of the DF-616 Prime dimension's survival. However, this dimensions' Earth was already teetering toward destruction as it merged with Digital World and the Synisters's Dark Realm. It would be only a matter of moments before Earth collapsed under the pressure of two worlds colliding with it.

Having opened a portal, Zeed X revealed his two newest recruits, and arguably his strongest aides: Jirenmon and Toppomon. Omega X sensed Jirenmon's power, which is supposedly stronger than a God of Destruction.

"Impressed with my big new Chad bros?" Zeed X asked with a coy smile, patting Jirenmon and Toppomon's massive shoulders. "You really thought I wouldn't have more aces in the holes? Well, wrong! Toppomon here is strong, but my pal Jirenmon here is a whole level of OP-ness."

"OP-ness?" Tempus Pluto blinked in befuddlement.

"Overpowered. It's what the kids are calling it these days, sweetness," Volodramon said.

"Oh, I should've known."

"These two are members of the Digital Pride Troopers," Glacialis Sedna muttered, turning to Omega X. "Tai, are you and the others familiar with them?"

"No, this is the first we've seen and heard about them," the Bearer of Courage plainly answered.

The Kuiper Senshi then turned to Angemon X. "And we sure never heard of them either."

Angemon X nodded. "Yeah, or they'd certainly be of help against the Artificials and Zamasmon. Man, these two powers are beyond anything we've faced before."

Zeed X interjected. "...except me, of course."

Angemon X retorted. "Butt out!"

"I've heard about as much as I can stand from this jackass," Metalla X shared his disdain for Zeed X.

Devil Homura muttered, eyeing Jirenmon and Toppomon. "If these weren't imbued with Zeed X's powers, I'd easily be able to stop them, but alas now isn't possible. I'll still fight with all I have, my friends."

"Now that's the spirit, Homu!" Zeed X taunted the Devil goddess by her nickname.

"No one calls me that!" Devil Homura snapped at the anomalous being.

"Heh, I just love getting on your skin. Anyway, you're probably wondering how I managed to recruit such big bad dudes, right?" Zeed X asked as he conjured a screen that showed him infiltrating a universe. "I didn't just enter a dimension. I infiltrated one of the 12 Digiverses that Whismon and Beerusmon alluded to, Taichi and Yamato." He referred this to Omega X and Metalla X. "Do you not remember?"

"Yeah, I do! So, which Digiverse did these two come from?" Omega X queried.

"From the 11th Digiverse."

"Digiverse 11?" Metalla X muttered.

"But, I didn't merely go there. I went back in time and kinda meddled with the timestream in it. I went to a time when this man here was a child," Zeed X pointed to Jirenmon. "Before I altered Digiverse 11's timestream, Jirenmon grew up into an upstanding citizen of his world and earned enough credentials to join the Digital Pride Troopers. He was a more pleasant fella and earned the respect of his peers… but wasn't in the way of personality. He was just a blander Superman. He fought evil with a smile on his face. Just your typical goodie-good superhero. He built himself to fight in the name of justice after his teacher and successor, Omegamon X. However…" He snapped his fingers that showed a ghastly image of a ruined village. "Word had it that some villain swiftly went in and wiped out Jirenmon's entire village overnight. That same villain then took on Omegamon X, the defender of the weak, and soundly defeated him in battle. Wanna guess who did him and Jirenmon's family and people in?" He pointed to himself.

"You bastard! How could you?!" Volodramon berated him.

"You killed Jirenmon's teacher?!" Glacialis Sedna exclaimed.

"What's worse, you committed the taboo of altering time!" Devil Homura snapped.

"Heh, you're one to talk, time traveler," Zeed X retorted, eyeing Devil Homura first before veering toward Angemon X. "Excuse me, time travelers. And of course, the Time Guardian who couldn't be asked to prevent their time meddling." He arched an eyebrow facing Tempus Pluto.

"Get on with your story," Tempus Pluto furrowed her brows.

"Hmm, where was I? Yes, I was getting to my favorite part!" Zeed X displayed the next sequence of events. The first image showed Zeed X and Omegamon X engaging one on one. "Omegamon X was a formidable opponent. While not quite as strong as some of you. He possessed the All-Delete power, which he vowed never to use unless a powerful enemy like me should ever turn up. Well, I turned up and wrecked Jirenmon's world. When Omegamon X was forced to take extreme measures, he unleashed his All-Delete, which I took with no effect." He then showed the next image: Zeed X killing Omegamon X and leaving immediately when a young Jirenmon showed up to retrieve his fallen master. "In just one night, I turned a man with a bright future to one with a dark, uncertain future. I left Jirenmon to live training his hardest to avenge his fallen master. His hatred for the man who murdered his master pushed him to become the strongest in Digiverse 11. In time, Jirenmon's joined the Digital Pride Troopers with a new purpose: to deal justice to the wicked, but gone was that smile. In private, he still swore revenge against his master's killer. Little did he know, one night after a rescue mission…" The next set of images showed Jirenmon's rise as it came to a recent event. "I appeared to fight Jirenmon and Toppomon. Sensing Jirenmon's power, I was pleased. He had topped his universe's God of Destruction in power. However, I was still head and shoulders above them in the pecking order. After beating them, I trapped and placed these two under mind control."

"Why did you recruit these two besides to fight us?" Omega X questioned the anomalous one's motive.

"What else? I needed strong hands to keep you busy, but you're right… there was another purpose," Zeed X said, briefly eyeing ZarcDramon X. "But, never mind that. These two are itching for warriors to fight. So, why don't we get down to the nitty gritty?"

With that, Jirenmon and Toppomon both powered up and intense battle auras exploded over them. Omega X, Metalla X, Angemon X, Glacialis Sedna, Tempus Pluto, Volodramon, Devil Homura, and Hit held their ground against the Digital Pride Trooper duo. They felt the wind wisping from their auras blowing against them.

"This is unbelievable!" Glacialis Sedna paled in shock as Angemon X calmed her down.

"Remember, we gotta get through them if we want to reach Kensuke and Christina!" Angemon X reminded her. "We can't let even these two deter us!"

Hearing this from her boyfriend, Glacialis Sedna regained her self confidence. "Yes, you're right. For brother and Christina!"

Tempus Pluto readied her Garnet Staff. "Their powers eclipses even my sister's when I fought her not too long ago!"

Volodramon reassured the Time Guardian. "Don't let up, Setsuna. We'll manage this somehow!"

Devil Homura added. "What choice do we have?"

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Fierce Battle Against A Mighty Foe)

"Do you all hear that? This song is composed by the real-life gods themselves." Zeed X commented, humming the epic-sounding track. He turned to Jirenmon and Toppomon. "Ok, gentlemen, go and rough them up. No, crush their spirits and kill them if you must!"

Complying with the anomalous being's orders, Jirenmon and Toppomon slowly walked toward the heroes. Jirenmon set his sights on Omega X, Metalla X, Angemon X, and Hit.

Jirenmon quickly rushed the three Ascendants and the assassin. Omega X flew at Jirenmon and jabbed his face. Unfazed, Jirenmon belted Omega X with a right punch and sent him flying. Omega X landed on his feet.

"Tai!" Angemon X charged up Ki in his palms and fired a quick Finish Buster at the Digital Pride Trooper.

Jirenmon caught the future warrior's beam and nullified it with a blast. Metalla X phased behind Jirenmon and went for a rear attack. Jirenmon casually turned and punched Metalla X back. Unable to put up his guard in time, Metalla X absorbed the impact of Jirenmon's punch. Metalla X got punched far back.

"You've got one hell of a punch! But that won't do me in!" Omega X rebounded and made a mad dash toward Jirenmon. He cupped his hands and launched a Tsunami Wave head-on with Jirenmon.

Jirenmon gritted and pushed against Omega X's signature beam. Then, to the surprise of the Ascendant and his allies, Jirenmon physically walked through the Tsunami Wave. With a finger chop, he split the beam in two and dashed at Omega X. Jirenmon unloaded a barrage of punches on Omega X, who put up his guard. However, the quicker Jirenmon punched, the faster he broke the Ascendant's defenses and one punched Omega X far back.

Angemon X quickly went on the offensive and fired multiple Ki blasts at the Digital Pride Trooper. Jirenmon reacted and vanished. Before Angemon X knew it, a powerful force punched him in the gut. Angemon X doubled over and right in front of him was Jirenmon.

I couldn't even see him move…! Angemon X blanched and coughed.

Jirenmon then attacked at such extreme speeds that Angemon X felt like he was pummeled by a powerful barrage of punches in an instant.

"Dimitri!" Metalla X dove in to save the future warrior. He intercepted Jirenmon with a Ki beam.

Jirenmon turned his sights toward Metalla X's intervention. With a simple glare, Metalla X went down hard as if he had been attacked.

What the hell just happened?! Metalla X doubled over on the ground. It didn't even feel like he even moved…! Yet, I did see punches connecting with me! There's someone like him who can move and attack at those ungodly speeds?!

"Father!" Angemon X went for a countermeasure against Jirenmon, but the Digital Pride Trooper shifted right in front of him.

Jirenmon charged up a red-orange Ki ball in his land and planted it into Angemon X's gut. He discharged his signature move, Power Impact, and powered it up maximizing its growth relative to Angemon X's size. Both Angemon X and the fiery orb are sent far back as they exploded in the background.

"You son of a bitch!" Metalla X lunged at Jirenmon.

Jirenmon caught Metalla X's punch and effortlessly repelled him with a shockwave. Metalla X took to the air and cupped his hands forward. The Bearer of Friendship charged up and launched a Final Blaze at the Digital Pride Trooper.

Jirenmon held his ground without budging an inch. Without so much of a glare, Jirenmon released an immense Ki from his eyes invisible to everyone's view. The Ki force collided with and nullified Metalla X's Final Blaze. Jirenmon then shot up and uppercut Metalla X's chin hard, knocking him away.

"Damn, just what kind of freak did you recruit, Zeed X?" Omega X gritted, pulling himself up on his own.

As Jirenmon turned toward Omega X, a beam came out of nowhere and aimed for the Digital Pride Trooper's chest. Jirenmon's keen senses barely picked up, allowing him to sidestep the beam. Jirenmon jumped away. Hit appeared from out of thin air and confronted him.

"About time you took action, Hit," Omega X remarked.

"The bastard saw my beam coming that far off," Hit observed. "His ability to track movements are bar none above anything I've dared to assassinate on job assignments."

"Don't even try it again since he'll know when it's coming," Omega X said as he dropped into a fighting stance.

"So, what do you propose, Tai?"

"Heh, I haven't thought that far ahead yet," Omega X lightly chuckled.

Jirenmon slowly paced toward Omega X and Hit the Hitmon. The duo rushed Jirenmon and attacked him head-on. Omega X went for the usual pattern of fisticuffs and kicks. Hit went for more precise strikes. Jirenmon casually parried his opponents' blows. He phased through Omega X and Hit.

Omega X charged up and fired a Tsunami Wave. Jirenmon stopped the bluish beam with a Ki-imbued fist. Hit quickly phased out, disappearing from Jirenmon's view. As Hit reappeared behind Jirenmon, the Digital Pride Trooper turned around and punched Hit. His fist seemingly went through Hit, who vanished out of thin air.

"I've got you," Hit pointed his fist to the back of Jirenmon's head. "Don't move."

Jirenmon's eyes flared and unleashed a wave that knocked Hit away.

Meanwhile, ZarcDramon X slowly came to and became drawn to Jirenmon's power. He rose and growled.

"Oooh, you really want in, do ya, Kenny?" Zeed X asked, taunting ZarcDramon X.

As ZarcDramon X stood on his own power, Zeed X became slightly irked.

"You're a stubborn one, Ken, but don't worry you'll be joining the fray soon."

xxxxx

Toppomon rushed toward the others.

"Here he comes!" Tempus Pluto yelled out as she, Volodramon, Glacialis Sedna, and Devil Homura.

Boom!

Toppomon punched the ground hard enough to split the entire city block everyone stood on. The ground shook and shattered in an instant. The impact created by Toppomon caused a huge impression to form. Toppomon yanked his fist from the ground. Before he could attack again, Tempus Pluto unleashed a powerful Dead Scream. Volodramon fired Temporal Exaflare. Toppomon quickly stopped both attacks with his bare hands. He then crushed them blasts as they exploded inside his palms.

"Not even a scathe?!" Volodramon exclaimed.

"Let us regroup!" Tempus Pluto slammed her Garnet Staff, casting a time freeze ability that slowed Toppomon's movements. She and Volodramon took to the air as they repeated their attacks on the now slow behemoth.

"Sheesh, what did I just say? I've imbued them with my power, so these two are largely immune to your time-based magic," Zeed X chuckled as with a snap of his fingers Toppomon was free to move quickly.

Charging like a locomotive, Toppomon broke out of Pluto's time spell. He jumped up to grab both Tempus Pluto and Volodramon. Then, a barrage of black rays and icicles struck him from the sides.

"So our time powers are useless now? Pluto and I have other means to fight with!" Devil Homura cried out as she bombarded and knocked Toppomon back with her beam barrage.

"Pluto, Volodramon, we came just in time!" Glacialis Sedna cried out. Swinging down her Ice Trident, she sent more icicles that stabbed Toppomon's arms.

"Justice shall be served!" Toppomon roared, firing rapid Ki beams from his fingertips. He turned to his right, shooting beams like machine gun fire at Glacialis Sedna first.

Glacialis Sedna formed an ice wall, which stopped Toppomon's blasts temporarily. This gave her enough time to move as the continuous blasts shattered her ice wall. She glided away, avoiding Toppomon's Justice Flash beams. He veered over toward Devil Homura and directed his beams at her. Devil Homura conjured black tendrils shaped like blades from her back and batted away the beams. Devil Homura flew into the air, evading Toppomon's blasts.

"Pluto, forgive me for what I'm about to do. Granted, it's a stupid move on my part," Volodramon said as he dove head-on toward Toppomon.

"John!" Tempus Pluto cried out.

"Hey, you Lorax-looking muthafucka! Up here!" Volodramon goaded the Digital Pride Trooper. He charged up energy in his hands and unleashed a volley of Temporal Exaflare beams.

Toppomon hastily turned his Justice Flash barrage and wiped out all of Volodramon's blasts. Volodramon flew so fast he vanished out of thin air and got behind Toppomon. Volodramon charged up his right hand and shoved it through Toppomon's back.

"Heh, you let your guard down, big man!" Volodramon grinned sadistically, charging up a beam powerful enough to blow an exit hole through him.

Tempus Pluto seized this opportunity, ripping the Garnet Orb from her staff. She then tapped into the orb's power, sending a cyclone-powered attack at Toppomon. Pluto's Chronos Typhoon collided with Toppomon, who was paralyzed by Volodramon. Toppomon grunted and fell to a knee.

"We've got him, Pluto! Just once more-!" Volodramon beckoned his love interest to repeat her attack.

"Yes, one more…!" Tempus Pluto prepared to conjure her Chronos Typhoon.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - A Fearsome Foe)

"No, villains… like you… must be punished…" Toppomon growled as he ripped his shirt off. Then, a dark purple glow covered Toppomon. Toppomon's physical frame began to change in conjunction with this aura radiating over him.

"This aura…" Volodramon probed Toppomon's glow. "No, don't me…! This power feels similar to those God of Destruction beings like Beerusmon!"

"What?! So, we've been fighting a Digital God of Destruction?!" Glacialis Sedna exclaimed.

"Well, this is going to prove troublesome," Devil Homura muttered.

xxxxx

As Jirenmon went straight for Omega X and Hit, he abruptly halted his advance. He sensed his comrade's power escalating and frowned.

"Toppomon, you're going all out, aren't you? Those opponents you're facing must've pushed you," Jirenmon muttered.

"Whoa, this power is coming from that big guy with the mustache?" Omega X wondered, feeling Toppomon's power. "This energy feels like Lord Beerusmon."

"And Lord Champamon," Hit added.

"That guy has a Digital God of Destruction's power?!" Metalla X rose, sensing Toppomon's Ki rising. He finished feeding Angemon X a Digi-Vitamin.

Healed from the Digi-Vitamin, Angemon X stood up and drew out his sword.

xxxxx

Upon sensing the divine power emanating from Toppomon, Beerusmon and Champamon were on alert.

"Hey, brother. You sense that?" Champamon asked, growing disturbed with this new power coming out of Toppomon.

"So, those unfounded rumors of Digiverse 11 mortals with power on par with us Gods of Destruction is true," Beerusmon gritted, feeling at unease. "But, this fellow just invoked destruction power, partly thanks to Zeed X's influence."

Whismon added. "No telling how quickly this world will be erased with two God of Destruction-level beings now fighting for Zeed X."

Vadosmon nodded. "Perhaps it's time for us to finally intervene?"

Moinanea concurred. "Yes, and since the Synister Lords have combined, this is the red flag for us to interject."

Toushinmon growled. "I'll find my Taichi first and regroup with you all."

Moinanea turned to Toushinmon. "I shall join you if you don't mind."

Mukuromon nodded. "Be careful, Toushinmon."

Hadesmon declared. "DigiMazoku Lords, back into the fray we go!"

With that, the DigiMazoku Lords and Moinanea stormed off first to participate in the Synister Lord battle.

"Lord Beerusmon, finding out about these two God of Destruction-level mortals and confronting Zeed X take priority. We must also ensure our Taichi doesn't fall in battle," Whismon suggested.

"Yes, agreed. Let's go," Beerusmon said with a serious demeanor.

Next, the two Gods of Destruction and their angel attendants teleported from their location.

xxxxx

Finally finishing his transformation, Toppomon was a much taller wall of muscle. All the fat he had around his midsection hardened into rock hard muscles. Even his short arms and legs not only grew, but gained considerable muscle mass. His eyes gleamed with dark purple light. On his chest, a bright red symbol glowed profusely.

Great, this isn't good! Volodramon thought. "Pluto, retreat-!" Before he can finish, Toppomon snapped around and punched Volodramon so hard he sent him flying into a wall of debris.

Boom!

Volodramon's entire body crashed into a wall. His head snapped forward and blood came spewing from his mouth.

"JOHN!" Tempus Pluto screamed in horror.

"I barely even saw him move!" Glacialis Sedna cried out.

Toppomon dropped into a football lineman stance. He then launched himself forward and smashed shoulder first into Volodramon, crashing him through several feet of debris and sending him flying back. Volodramon crashed into the ground a broken and bloody mess. Toppomon landed near Volodramon and methodically walked toward him.

"Hold on, John!" Tempus Pluto shouted as she summoned Lupe. As Lupe merged with her, Tempus Pluto gained some of Lupe's wolf attributes, including superhuman strength and wolf-like aggressiveness. She swiftly flew down.

Toppomon raised a fist preparing to smash Volodramon in one blow. As he went for the killing blow, a flash of dark light cut him off. Volodramon stirred and clarified his blurry vision, seeing Tempus Pluto standing over him. Toppomon is taken aback as Tempus Pluto stood between him and her love interest.

"PLUTO!" Glacialis Sedna and Devil Homura yelled out in fear of the Time Guardian.

"Pluto… don't throw your life away… for me…" Volodramon weakly pleaded, cringing in pain as he used his body to crawl to her.

(End theme)

Tempus Pluto snarled. Her now golden wolf eyes pierced a menacing glare that barely fazed Toppomon. The Digital Pride Trooper put a hand in front of Tempus Pluto's face, forming a small Destruction Ball.

"That's… Pluto, don't…! Get away from here!" Volodramon pleaded to her.

"Let's get those two out of there, Sedna!" Devil Homura yelled as they flew down to retrieve Tempus Pluto and Volodramon.

As Toppomon prepared to fire off his Destruction Ball, Devil Homura whisked away the Time Guardian. Glacialis Sedna summoned Knut the polar bear to grab Volodramon. Toppomon immediately called off his attack and turned to his right. He spotted the four relocate.

"Pluto!" Glacialis Sedna gasped as Tempus Pluto snarled like a wolf and was on all fours. Seeing John this badly hurt has pushed Pluto to this?! "Pluto, please…!"

(Cue Sailor Moon Crystal OST - Daimon)

Devil Homura grabbed Tempus Pluto, whose emotional distress caused her to snap. Tempus Pluto unleashed a dark purple aura that pushed the demoness back. Tempus Pluto's appearance started taking on more wolf-like traits. Her teeth grew and became sharper. A wolf's tail poked out of her rear. Tufts of her own hair formed into wolf-like ears. Her yellow eyes glowed. The sclera in her eyes thinned, giving the others the impression her mind was overtaken by Lupe's fury.

"Pluto… don't let anger consume you… I'm still alive…!" Volodramon called out, but his words fell on deaf ears.

As claws formed in her hands and her dark green hair turned dark gray, Tempus Pluto completed her feral transformation. She quickly lunged out of Devil Homura's arms and rushed Toppomon with murderous intent. Toppomon fired a Destruction Ball. Tempus Pluto evaded the incoming destructive bal and jumped. Toppomon unleashed Justice Flash. Tempus Pluto unleashed an immense aura that knocked away Toppomon's blasts. Tempus Pluto quickly vanished and reappeared on Toppomon's left side. Tempus Pluto crunched Toppomon's left side in her jaws. She clamped down hard, refusing to let go.

"PLUTO!" Glacialis Sedna screamed.

"We've got to get her off or he's going to kill her!" Devil Homura took no chances and flew off to grab Tempus Pluto.

"She's completely… lost herself… all because of me…" Volodramon grimaced. "This is my fault."

"No, we had no idea this guy had some kind of God of Destruction power!" The Kuiper said.

As Toppomon grabbed Tempus Pluto's head, he punched her. Tempus Pluto stubbornly refused to let go. Toppomon quickly tried shaking the wolf woman off. Devil Homura quickly fired a black beam in Toppomon's face, not only blindsiding him but pulled Tempus Pluto to safety.

Try as she might, Devil Homura couldn't hold Tempus Pluto. The feral wolf woman lunged and punched Toppomon's face, as the force of her punch created a shockwave that wiped out everything behind Toppomon. The Digital Pride Trooper, on the other hand, remained unfazed and scowled. Tempus Pluto unleashed claw strikes all over Toppomon's body.

"Enough, Pluto! John is fine! He's still alive!" Glacialis Sedna pleaded to her former teacher.

"No, she's lost it… no amount of words can stop her now… maybe except me…" Volodramon muttered, closing his eyes and focusing by forming a mental link with her. Pluto, it's me, John! Please, cease this mindless attack! You're going to get your bloody self killed! The Pluto I know would never attack head-on without a plan! I love you as the calm, kind, and methodical woman you are! Merging with Lupe in your current mental state wasn't the best idea!

As Volodramon pleaded on, Tempus Pluto continued clawing at Toppomon. Toppomon unleashed a force that repelled her. Tempus Pluto rebounded and went on the attack again.

Look at you, Pluto! The animal you've become! If you were to look at yourself in a mirror, you'd realize you look like one of those damned furries! I ask you, as a man who deeply loves you to calm down… Setsuna Meioh, I love you!

(End theme)

As Tempus Pluto went for a straight jab to Toppomon's head, she paused as her mind seemingly snapped back to reality. Her yellow wolf eyes faded. Her normal red eyes resurfaced.

"J-John…" Tempus Pluto muttered as teardrops fell from her eyes.

"PLUTO!" Devil Homura cried as she pushed the Time Guardian out of Toppomon's Destruction Ball, which bypassed the two and deleted a giant pile of debris. She crash landed carrying Tempus Pluto on her shoulder.

Tempus Pluto came to and noticed her wolf-like features. "Wh-What just happened?"

Volodramon coughed. "...well… I got my bloody ass handed to me… you snapped, merged with Lupe, and turned into a wolf furry, but mind you a very strong and beautiful wolf woman."

Looking at her wolf claws, Tempus Pluto then ran her tongue over her teeth. Her tongue touched a sharp point, which was her fang. She was surprised by how sharp her teeth became. She noted her wolf ears and tail.

"My merger with Lupe went this far?!" Tempus Pluto realized she had become a literal beast woman.

Lupe telepathically spoke to her. "You completely lost yourself and as a result of merging me, our fury awakened the inner beast and caused this feral transformation. And all of this because you witnessed John nearly die. I'm sorry for not preventing this, Lady Pluto."

"No, we brought this on ourselves. I let my anger get the best of me… and I'm still mentally recovering from ending Charon's existence," Tempus Pluto sighed, turning over to Volodramon. "John, I…"

Volodramon put a finger to her lips. "...heh, don't apologize, love. Let's just get our heads on straight and get back into action, Setsuna." He grabbed Tempus Pluto's hands and leaned his forehead with hers.

"He's coming! Get ready to fight!" Glacialis Sedna beckoned as she and Devil Homura confronted Toppomon.

(Cue Sailor Moon Crystal OST - Magnificent Counterattack)

Suddenly, a beacon of light formed above Volodramon and Tempus Pluto's heads. They noticed the glowing orb took the shape of a Digivice. Not just any Digivice, but it is the B.A.X. Digivice Kensuke is known to wield. The device fell into Tempus Pluto's hands.

"What is… it's a Digivice?" Tempus Pluto gasped, examining the handheld instrument.

"Are you surprised? This… is a sign of our love, Setsuna," Volodramon chuckled, putting his hand on the Digivice. "Even though we're an item, this officially makes us partners."

"Yes,' Tempus Pluto smiled as her and Volodramon's hands closed over the Digivice.

A burst of light came out of the Digivice. It helped cleanse the Time Guardian, turning her back to normal. Lupe remained inside the Time Guardian with his power still resonating in her. It also healed Volodramon's wounds. Both stood holding their Digivice. They leaned and kissed each other.

"You ready to make the impossible possible, my fair lady?"

"We've already made the impossible happen. I'm officially a Chosen thanks to you."

"Heh, right."

Holding out her B.A.X. Digivice, Tempus Pluto charged Volodramon with more power.

"If I recall, I think this is how Kensuke fuses his partners and fused me with Titaniamon!" Tempus Pluto declared as she invoked her first Digivice command. With her Digivice, she and Volodramon combined into Tempus Pluto Volo Mode, which was essentially her still as Tempus Pluto but gaining Volodramon's wings, his shoulder armor, and his Sonic Screwdriver tail, which merged with her Garnet Staff.

As Devil Homura and Glacialis Sedna stopped their attack, they watched Tempus Pluto VM float over to them. Toppomon quickly took to the air and unleashed a barrage of blasts. Tempus Pluto VM formed a barrier, nullifying the Digital Pride Trooper's beams.

"Welcome back, Pluto, and kudos to becoming Volodramon's official partner," Glacialis Sedna said.

"We've always been partners, but this Digivice fully solidifies our bond," Tempus Pluto VM firmly stated. "Our fight here isn't done." She hardened a determined glare toward Toppomon. "On my lead!"

"Right!" Glacialis Sedna and Devil Homura hollered.

The trio took to the air and headed off Toppomon. Toppomon tossed another Destruction Ball. The trio dodged, letting it dissolve a building in their place. Tempus Pluto VM flapped her draconian wings, sending black orbs that collided with Toppomon. Glacialis Sedna and Devil Homura took turns blasting Toppomon.

"Don't let up and stay on him!" Tempus Pluto VM commanded, recalling her Garnet Orb. She amassed plentiful energy from the orb and a dark beam, which she called her Chronos Temporal Exaflare. The attack, ten times stronger than Volodramon's basic Temporal Exaflare, collided head-on and fazed Toppomon.

Toppomon turned around furiously. "Evil must be destroyed!" He prepared another Destruction Ball, but ice quickly formed over his hand.

Glacialis Sedna utilized her ice powers to temporarily bind Toppomon. This gave Devil Homura room to blast Toppomon far back.

"Nicely done!" Tempus Pluto VM praised her compatriots.

As he nearly crashed landed, Toppomon barely propelled himself into the air and manifested his Destruction Aura. The God of Destruction-level warrior grunted, intently glaring down his three foes.

"I won't fall, not to evil like you!" Toppomon bellowed, asserting his authority as a God of Destruction-level being.

Meanwhile, the other Kuiper Senshi, Tike/AltronGundamon, Kara/SandrockGundamon, David/HeavyArmsGundamon, Sam/DeathScytheGundamon, and Kensuke's Digimon Army dropped near the Jirenmon and Toppomon battle locations.

Titaniamon narrowed her eyes. "Over there! I see Kensuke!"

Aduro Varuna readied Mjolnir. "Then, that's where we're going next, everyone. And Orcus will be there with him."

Ventus Eris swung Stormbreaker. "Then, let's bring them back home with us!"

Rosa Quaoar nodded. "Kensuke and Christina need us more than ever!"

Potio Ixion added. "Then, there's time for delay. Let's get over there!"

However, Tike, inside AltronGundamon, seemed less enthused. The other D3s noted their friend's sudden silence. He seemed rather reluctant to go to where Kensuke was, especially after what happened the last he was near Kensuke.

"Tike, I know you might be feeling, but you have to remember it was Zeed X that manipulated Kensuke's mind. He made Kensuke think you were Zeed X," Sam reasoned with him.

"That jackass made us all look like him just to screw with Ken's head!" Kara cried out. "C'mon, bro! No matter how you may think of him, he needs support now!"

David sighed. "Gotta agree with the others, Tike."

Shaking his head, Tike facepalmed and rubbed his face. "Ok, you guys convinced me."

"You guys might not necessarily need to help us with Ken…" CyberBeelzemon said as he and others already felt Jirenmon and Toppomon's Ki from afar. "Holy shit, you're getting a reading on those energies?!"

OmegaShoutmon shuddered with dread. "Yep, who the heck are these two?!"

Titaniamon deduced, sensing the Digital Pride Trooper's Ki. "Whoever they are, everyone enemy we've faced up to now pale in comparison to them."

Ventus Eris put on a determined face. "But, we're not going to turn back now. Karin, Christina, and Kensuke need us now."

Harena Haumea raised a fist and hollered. "No way, we're going in!"

Illusio Makemake gasped. "But, Haumea, we can't forget about Duke, Tristan, Yugi, and the others! What if they're already here?!"

Aduro Varuna scoffed, looking over to her peers. "You better make up your minds now. We're heading out there where those two powerful energies are. Just know we're entering a life or death battle. There's no guarantee we'll survive."

The other Kuipers, the D3s & their Gundam Digimon, and Kensuke's Digimon Army resolved and advanced toward the two battle locations. Along the way, they were stopped by several Synisters and Black clones. The Kuiper Senshi, the Gundam Digimon, and Kensuke's Digimon made short work of them.

"There's more coming!" Illusio Makemake cried out.

"Bring it on, asswipes! We'll clear the way!" Tike declared as he and AltronGundamon fired a barrage of beams that ripped apart and incinerated a bunch of Synisters.

SandrockGundamon, HeavyArmsGundamon, and DeathScytheGundamon quickly bombarded Black clones and Synisters, wiping a whole lot of them.

To finish things off, Aduro Varuna and Ventus Eris wiped out the remaining Synisters and Black clones that blocked their way. Aduro Varuna wiped out a bunch with a barrage of lightning blasts. Ventus Eris swiftly brought down Stormbreaker, sending a powerful surge of raw power that wiped out the enemies.

"That should take care of them! Thankfully, we can move forward," Potio Ixion added.

After wiping out the Synister and Black clone armies, the group saw Sailor Gao Puto & Ratatoskr and Meryl & Mastemon descend near their location.

"Hina! Thank goodness you're ok!" Rosa Quaoar was thrilled to see the Lycan Senshi.

"Looking to join us?" Aduro Varuna asked her and Meryl.

"Yes, if you don't mind," Meryl nodded. "I was looking for my dad."

"Mummymon? That dummy's still managing to hang in there?!" Tike cried out.

As if she had seen a ghost, Meryl quickly recognized Tike's voice as she gasped. "...Tike? Tike! Is that really you?!"

Confirming Meryl's suspicion, Tike stepped out of AltronGundamon. The boy modestly rubbed his head.

"Yep! Hey, Meryl."

"But, you're really alive?! My gosh, you are!" Meryl wailed happily for him.

"I'm kinda alive and kinda not. You see…" Tike pointed to his halo.

"You're like an angel!" Meryl giggled.

"That's cause I am!"

Kara giggled inside SandrockGundamon. "Aww, how I miss you two being together."

Sailor Gao Pluto sighed. "Tike's here, but not Athena?"

Meryl's happy demeanor was replaced with sadness. "Please, don't remind me."

"Well, we're ready to go! Godmother is out there fighting the enemy! I want to be there with her!" Sailor Gao Pluto pleaded.

Ventus Eris smirked. "Where do you think we're going, little Hina?"

"This way, everyone! Since those two immense powers are in two different locations, we'll split up! Myself and Eris will lead two groups!" Aduro Varuna declared.

With that, Aduro Varuna took a group consisting Sam/DeathScytheGundamon, Tike/AltronGundamon, Rosa Quaoar, Harena Haumea, Illusio Makemake, Meryl & Mastemon, OmegaShoutmon, Utopia, and Kensuke's remaining Digimon Army. They headed for Jirenmon's battle location.

Ventus Eris took a group consisting Sailor Gao Pluto & Ratatoskr, Kara/SandrockGundamon, David/HeavyArmsGundamon, Potio Ixion, Titaniamon, and CyberBeelzemon. They went straight for Toppomon's location.

Don't worry, dad! We'll come and find you! Just hang on, where you are! Meryl had Mummymon in her thoughts.

xxxxx

Elsewhere, Mummymon hid behind debris having exhausted himself after ambushing and taking out some extremely weak-level Synisters. A Black Bakemon floated by scanning the area. Mummymon packed ammo into his rifle.

"Meryl, wherever you are, honey buns… I'm coming for you." Mummymon quickly ambushed and blasted the Black Bakemon. "YEAH! DADDY'S COMING TO SAVE YOU! BRING IT ON, YOU FREAKS!"

xxxxx

Resuming their battle, Jirenmon engaged Omega X, Hit, Metalla X, and Angemon X.

Jirenmon blasted Omega X and Hit away with his battle aura.

Angemon X charged up Ki into his sword and slashed at Jirenmon, attempting to behead him. Jirenmon raised a hand, catching the wielder's sword with one hand. Jiremon pulled Angemon X forward and kicked him far back. Metalla X then landed a quick jab to Jiremon's face. Jirenmon took the face shot and grunted.

"Heh, finally got a hit on you!" Metalla X boasted as he unloaded a flurry of punches on Jirenmon. "You can't block my attacks forever! Fatigue will eventually settle in for you! Now tucker out already!"

Jirenmon parried Metalla X's blows. As Metalla X went for a straight jab, Jirenmon shot a piercing glance, sending an immense shockwave that repelled the Ascendant back.

Both Omega X and Hit stood poised ready to meet Jirenmon head-on again.

Jirenmon taunted them coldly. "Keep this up and you two will die."

Omega X growled. "Yeah, is that a threat?"

"Hey, Tai! Dimitri! Matt!" A voice belonging to Aduro Varuna called out to them.

The Ascendants, Hit, and Jirenmon noticed Aduro Varuna and her entourage arrive on the scene.

"There's Ken and Christina over there!" Rosa Quaoar pointed to ZarcDramon X.

"Hey, Ken! Veemon! Christina! We're here!" OmegaShoutmon called out to his partner, Digimon compatriot, and the Kuiper.

"How are we going to break this curse Zeed X has placed on them?" Utopia wondered.

"We'll figure it out. Maybe Mjolnir will do the trick?" Aduro Varuna stared at Thor's hammer.

Just then, Zeed X intercepted Aduro Varuna and company from getting near ZarcDramon X.

"Aww, sorry, but you'll have to wait your turn. Ken and I were having a nice chat. We were just talking about you," Zeed X chuckled. "So glad you can join us, Kuiper Senshi and friends." He noticed Tike/AltronGundamon. "And so nice for you to join us again, Tike the pottymouth."

"I'm coming for your ass, you jackass!" Tike threatened.

"Go ahead, and I'll just kill you. Oh, and last I checked if an undead soul dies, then they can't reincarnate or be revived by a plot device. Sucks to be you, Tike," Zeed X shrugged and chuckled nonchalantly.

"Tike, I know you're gung-ho about getting back at this guy, but hear him out. You die in your dead state and you'll never be revived. Your soul will just cease," Sam warned his trigger-happy friend. "And revenge is not always worth it. Let's beat him together."

Calming down, Tike sighed deeply. "Ok, ok, I'm convinced."

Jirenmon shifted his focus on the newcomers and unleashed an immense shockwave that knocked away most of the group. The two D3s and their Gundam Digimon flew into the air. Aduro Varuna, Rosa Quaoar, Harena Haumea, Illusio Makemake, OmegaShoutmon, and Utopia spread out. Both Meryl and Mastemon took cover for safety.

"Be careful, everyone! This guy is dangerously powerful! He can also perceive your moves before you make them!" Omega X warned Aduro Varuna and the others.

"Jirenmon, why don't you make short work of these bugs?" Zeed X ordered the Digital Pride Trooper to attack Aduro Varuna and the others.

Suddenly, ZarcDramon X roared and expelled flame-like waves from his giant frame. He quickly set his sights on both Jirenmon and Zeed X.

"Heh, did I strike a nerve?" Zeed X taunted ZarcDramon X.

(Cue FINAL MISSION~QUANTUM BURST - Gundam 00 Movie OST)

ZarcDramon X launched toward Jirenmon and Zeed X. The dragon beast went on the offense and attacked them both. Jirenmon crossed his arms, absorbing most of the impact of ZarcDramon X's deadly force. Zeed X casually put up a barrier, guarding him against the dragon's attack. Fueled by rage, ZarcDramon X headbutted Jirenmon back and went straight for Zeed X. He snatched Zeed X and smashed him hard into the ground. Zeed X put his hands up to stop the beast, but ZarcDramon X repeatedly stomped on the anomalous being.

"All right, stay on him, Ken and Christina! Crush that bastard!" Aduro Varuna encouraged them.

"Oh no, look!" Harena Haumea cried out.

To everyone's disbelief, Zeed X floated up and grabbed ZarcDramon X's claw. ZarcDramon X struggled to break loose and unleashed a fiery blast in Zeed X's face.

Boom!

As the smoke cleared, ZarcDramon X saw no trace of Zeed X. However, someone tapped his shoulder. ZarcDramon X turned around and was met with a punch to his face. Zeed X quickly grabbed ZarcDramon X's face and channeled dark energies to further burn the dragon's face.

"Playtime is over, Kensuke," Zeed X muttered in a dark, sinister tone, ditching the carefree demeanor completely.

As Zeed X crushed ZarcDramon X's face, Platinum Orcus, who had been in a sleep-like state inside the dragon's chest, awoke with a start and screamed with fury.

"And you can keep silent, too!" Zeed X slammed ZarcDramon X through a building and unleashed a barrage of beams over the fallen dragon.

"KEN! CHRISTINA!" Aduro Varuna and Rosa Quaoar cried out.

"Leave them alone, Zeed X!" Omega X demanded, charging up for another Tsunami Wave.

"You mess with our friends! You deal with us!" Angemon X declared as he powered up into his Super state.

"Kensuke and I have had our differences, but you're not killing that man and the woman," Metalla X raised a hand preparing to shoot Zeed X with a Big Bang Attack.

Chortling, Zeed X descended to the ground. "That's rich coming from you, Yamakins. Why it's almost as if you've accepted Kensuke is your friend after you two have been trying to kill each other for years."

Metalla X scowled in response. "...shut up."

"And that's all the proof I need to hear. By the way, I'm sure you three and Kensuke still feel lonely without that sweet child who gave her own life selflessly to save you all from Zamasmon's finishing attack," Zeed X reminded them of a certain Ascendant child's recent sacrifice. "I see, judging by those pathetic looks on your faces, you dearly miss her. Don't worry. I can arrange that. Athena is dying to meet you."

As he said this, Zeed X's face morphed into Athena's. Everyone closest to Athena, including Omega X, Angemon X, Metalla X, and ZarcDramon X, were horrified seeing the child's face again.

"Athena?!" Angemon X yelled out as he quickly stopped himself and accepted the cruel reality. He gritted and growled intensely. "Zeed X… YOU BASTARD!" He prepared to attack him, but Metalla X stopped him.

"Don't be a fool, Dimitri! He's manipulating you using Athena's face!" Metalla X had to snap sense out of him.

Omega X growled. "This is low of you, Zeed X!"

Giggling, Zeed X's 'Athena' face gave an oh sweet innocent smile. "Who's Zeed X, Grunkle Tai?" 'She' turned toward Angemon X. "Daddy, why are you so upset?" 'She' then faced Metalla X. "Hi, Grandpa Matt, is daddy feeling ok?" 'She' then shifted toward ZarcDramon X. "And Uncle Ken, I miss you." She giggled happily.

Seeing 'Athena's' face invoked further distress within ZarcDramon X. Anger swelled up in ZarcDramon X as he raised his head and roared loudly. The roars became so loud the entire vicinity shook. ZarcDramon X's roars unleashed intense shockwaves that shook the entire planet to its core.

xxxxx

On the other side of the vicinity, Ventus Eris's group arrived to lend Tempus Pluto VM, Glacialis Sedna, and Devil Homura support against Toppomon.

"Pluto! I'm here!" Sailor Gao Pluto called out to her godmother.

"Hey, Ixion, Eris!" Glacialis Sedna called out to her Kuiper friends. She noticed Ventus Eris back to herself again. "I see you're you again. I'm glad, but sorry about Tyler. I felt his life fade away."

Ventus Eris answered proudly. "He died sacrificing himself and because of that, I'm back. But, his strength runs through me now."

Glacialis Sedna smiled hearing this. "That was very honorable of him. A shame he couldn't be here to fight with us, but thankfully he left you his power."

"Tell me about it. She's gotten plenty stronger than before," Potio Ixion replied until she saw Toppomon. "Oh god."

"Whoa, check it out. So that intense power came from him?!" Ventus Eris eyed Toppomon, who radiated with a destruction aura.

"Yeah, and the energy readings I'm basing off his power alone is off the charts!" Potio Ixion exclaimed.

Glacialis Sedna added with apprehension. "You have no idea."

Tempus Pluto VM descended next to Gao Pluto, who embraced her godmother. "I'm glad you're still ok, little one."

"You, too, Pluto."

"Humph, more villainous scum for me to deliver divine justice toward?" Arrogantly grunted Toppomon. He prepared to charge to attack the group.

Just then, ZarcDramon X's power was immediately felt in the vicinity. The ground shook under them. Everyone ceased any attack and turned their attention toward the opposite direction.

"What the hell was that?!" An alarmed Kara cried out.

"I don't even wanna know," David gulped nervously.

"That was brother!" Glacialis Sedna shouted. "I'm sorry, but I have to go to him!" She beckoned Knut the polar bear and mounted him. They headed straight to ZarcDramon X's location.

"Sedna!" Ventus Eris and Potio Ixion called out to their leader.

"Go after her, you two!" Tempus Pluto VM instructed the two Kuipers.

With that, Ventus Eris and Potio Ixion flew off after Glacialis Sedna.

"I think we're all that's needed to keep this monster busy," Devil Homura said.

"We'll lend y'all help!" Kara offered as she and SandrockGundamon prepared for battle.

Readily drawing out her sword, Titaniamon declared. "Indeed, we'll be your support, Pluto and Homura!" She then noticed Pluto wearing her new B.A.X. Digivice on her waist. "Is that…?!"

"That's the same model Ken uses!" CyberBeelzemon realized. "How the hell did she get one?!"

"Doesn't matter now, CyberBeelzemon. It'll benefit us," Titaniamon said.

Toppomon quickly dove toward Titaniamon and CyberBeelzemon. They swiftly evaded Toppomon's incoming punch, which made a giant crater.

"Pluto, your Digivice! Use it to fuse me and CyberBeelzemon!" Titaniamon called out to the Time Guardian.

"Mine? But, can it work if you aren't my partners?" Tempus Pluto VM asked, taking out her B.A.X. Digivice. Then, she heard Volodramon's voice in the back of her mind.

"It's worth a shot, Setsuna! Give it a go!" He urged her on.

"Ok! Titaniamon and CyberBeelzemon combine!" Tempus Pluto VM announced as her Digivice glowed, sending two beams of light that resonated with Kensuke's Digimon couple.

As they glowed with white light, Titaniamon and CyberBeelzemon were merged together. Titaniamon's body became the base for the fused form. She gained CyberBeelzemon's cybernetic armor, including two turbine armor accessories on her shoulders (red turbine on the right and blue on the left). She carried her with her an electric shotgun. The couple became CyberTitaniamon, the perfect combination of their bond.

"At your service!" CyberTitaniamon announced, wasting no time firing electric rounds at Toppomon, who swiped them away with a wave.

"Attack all at once!" Tempus Pluto called out, leading her group to attack Toppomon.

"Ready to back them up, Hina?" Ratatoskr asked the Lycan Senshi.

"Let's do it!" Sailor Gao Pluto declared, using her Henshin Rod to transform into Tsukuyomi Mode. Ratatoskr then turned into a spiritual orb and entered her body. "I'm ready to fight!" She jumped to join the fight against Toppomon.

Kara/SandrockGundamon and David/HeavyArmsGundamon prepared to offer support for the ladies.

"Hina!" Tempus Pluto VM tried calling her off. Damn, now I have Hina to worry about. John, lend me your strength to get us through this!

xxxxx

As Glacialis Sedna, Ventus Eris, and Potio Ixion arrived, they became distraught when they saw ZarcDramon X roaring and Zeed X wearing Athena's face.

"There he is! And Christina, too!" Ventus Eris pointed to ZarcDramon X.

Glacialis Sedna was nearly speechless. Her mouth twitched as few words came out. "...th-that's brother and Christina?" She looked away, crying.

"Ugh, and that's not all! That Zeed X bastard is using Athena's face!" Potio Ixion cursed.

Without hesitation, Glacialis Sedna and Knut went forward to convene with the other Kuipers, Omega X, Angemon X, and Metalla X.

"Karin!" Angemon X noticed his girlfriend's arrival.

"Mommy's here, too? Yay!" Zeed X mocked using Athena's face and voice.

Glacialis Sedna sprang off Knut and summoned her Ice Trident. She dove toward Zeed X and swung her trident, unleashing the biggest icicle barrage she's ever manifested.

"ZEED X!" Glacialis Sedna screamed with fury.

The heavy icicle storm pierced through Zeed X. Many icicles protruded all over his body. When it was said and done, Zeed X looked like a giant pincushion. Glacialis Sedna landed behind Zeed X and started toward ZarcDramon X.

"Never mock my daughter, asshole," Glacialis Sedna muttered, focusing her efforts to reach ZarcDramon X. "Brother! Christina!"

Chuckling, Zeed X's face turned back to normal. "Well done, Karin Osaka. Being a carrier of the Light Legacy like Kensuke, I can't take you lightly." He unleashed a powerful aura that blew apart the icicles. Freeing himself, Zeed X stretched, turned, and prepared to blast Sedna.

Wham!

Zeed X saw an axe blade poking through his back. He also saw Mjolnir protruding through his gut. He looked over behind him. Aduro Varuna had Mjolnir jammed through his stomach. Ventus Eris had the Stormbreaker axe shoved through the anomalous being's chest. Potio Ixion, Rosa Quaoar, Harena Haumea, and Illusio Makemake surrounded Zeed X.

"We're not letting you go easily. Not while we're still here!" Aduro Varuna yelled.

"You attack Sedna, you deal with us!" Rosa Quaoar said.

"And you take Christina for your own end means, we take that personal!" Ventus Eris cried.

"Got that right!" Harena Haumea shouted. "Heh, who would've thought you and me would be this relevant that we'd make it this far, Miho." She winked to Illusio Makemake.

"Because we have a bigger purpose now that we're Kuipers," Illusio Makemake said.

Before Zeed X can make a move, Omega X, Angemon X, and Metalla X joined in with the Kuiper Senshi.

"You mess with friends of ours, you deal with all of us!" Angemon X snapped as he and the Kuipers attacked Zeed X.

Just as Omega X and Metalla X prepared to fight with them, Jirenmon intercepted them.

"Our duel isn't finished," Jirenmon established his sights on the Ascendant duo.

"Should've known it wouldn't be that easy," Omega X scoffed as he and Metalla X engaged Jirenmon once again.

Angemon X and the Kuipers combined their attacks, forging and amassing a giant energy sphere. They tossed the empowered sphere and knocked Zeed X away with it. Zeed X managed to catch the energy ball and crushed it, shattering the orb.

"Whoo, thanks for that workout. Almost made me sweat a bead," Zeed X mocked his opponents.

"Ugh, just shut up already!" Aduro Varuna angrily retorted, charging toward Zeed X. She snatched Stormbreaker from Ventus Eris and threw it at Zeed X, who casually stopped the battle axe with a hand. She then smashed Mjolnir over Zeed X's head, splitting it in two. "Eat that, dickface!"

"Varuna, behind you!" Rosa Quaoar called out as three black tendrils poked out behind Aduro Varuna.

Taking heed of her lover's warning, Aduro Varuna narrowly moved using Flash Step, avoiding Zeed X's deadly trap. Rosa Quaoar summoned thorny vines that cut up Zeed X's tendrils. She recalled Mjolnir to her hand and watched Zeed X regrew a new head. Angemon X ran up and punched Zeed X's stomach hard, following it up by tossing him into the air. The Ascendant pushed his hands in the air and concentrated energy into his hands. As Zeed X recovered, Angemon X unleashed his Holy Divine Punishment, a massive dome-shaped beam that collided with Zeed X.

"I shouldn't even ask, but that had to do it, right?!" Harena Haumea asked, hoping for the end of the anomalous being.

"Doubtful," Potio Ixion warned.

Angemon X growled as he felt Zeed X's presence. "His power hasn't waned. Not a damn bit!"

Zeed X floated down with little damage. He dusted both his shoulders.

"Don't be down on yourselves. Look, you managed to get dust on me and there's a few scratches." Zeed X pointed to the little damage he received. "So, chin up and smile, little troopers!"

"Ugh, we've heard enough from you!" Aduro Varuna snapped as she prepared to attack him head-on again.

Suddenly, a white beam of light plunged through Zeed X's head. The Kuipers and Angemon X were taken aback when they saw an unfamiliar newcomer emerge from a portal. It was Brunhilde, but her appearance is almost unrecognizable.

This Brunhilde had almost all white body armor, but with traces of purple and gold. She has six feathered wings; three opposite on the sides of her back. Her long back-length hair was silverish white. A thick, white aura radiated off the new Brunhilde, who had returned from defeating other enemies that threatened the Cornerverse side.

"Wh-Who is that?" Ventus Eris asked, eyeing Brunhilde.

"I don't know, but she's wearing some kind of Valkyrie garb," Potio Ixion said.

"Valkyrie garb… ah! No way, you can't be!" Aduro Varuna did a double take.

"It's Kotori!" Angemon X recognized Brunhilde's energy.

"Looks like you went through great changes yourself, Kotori! If you are her!" Rosa Quaoar yelled out.

Brunhilde answered in her casual tone again. "Miss me? Yeah, let's just say I made a huge pitstop after beating some rainbow-haired bitch. I helped another me and some alternate universe version of my team to stop Grimhilde. And then saved Adora. And during all that, I changed into this. I don't care much for this makeover, but it does give me a ton of power to fight with. Thankfully Lady Cosmos brought me here, and I'm expecting that Rebellious Homura to show up, but dunno if she's delayed or something." She concentrated on the beam, which formed like a blade, poking through Zeed X. "But, enough about me. Looks like I came just in time to save y'alls asses. And heh, I just caught myself an asshole."

Aduro Varuna smirked. "Yeah, talk about great timing, Kotori."

Brunhilde nodded. "In this form, I'm Neo Frigg for some reason, but whatever we can talk about this more when we win."

Angemon X warned. "Be careful, Kotori! Don't drop your guard with this guy!"

Neo Frigg gritted, addressing Zeed X. "Bet you didn't see me coming, huh, dick?!"

Suddenly, Zeed X quickly did a 360-degree head spin and spooked Neo Frigg. Neo Frigg withdrew her beam and retreated along with the Kuipers.

After regenerating his face, Zeed X chuckled. "So nice of you to join us, Kotori Ayami. Congrats on defeating my subordinates: Ragyo and M(otherfucker)I(mmoral)S(hi)T, especially the latter. What an utter piece of work she was yet she failed to literally fuck your 'ass straight'. Thanks to you and the Cornerverse heroes, you've saved the omniverse from becoming an immoral cesspool. And with Neo Grimhilde purged for all time, Adora Frost has been spared any more agony. However, the omniverse's fate still hangs in balance, because you face moi."

Growling, Neo Frigg replied. "Yeah, I know, and I'm gonna kill your ass the same way I killed that immoral whore!"

Zeed X chuckled in amusement. "Good luck with that, Brunhilde. However, why don't you entertain me by facing my biggest ace?" With that, he snapped his fingers, causing Jirenmon to stop fighting Omega X and Metalla X. "In fact, why don't you all amuse me by taking on Jirenmon? His unmatched power will be enough to squash you like the bugs you are."

Neo Frigg snapped. "Watch who you call a bug, asshole!"

Jirenmon phased away, leaving behind Omega X and Metalla X. He reappeared in front of the Kuipers, Angemon X, and Neo Frigg. When Jirenmon prepared to attack them, Omega X grabbed Metalla X and used Instant Movement to teleport them near Jirenmon.

"Dimitri, get to Karin now!" Metalla X barked as he and Omega X engaged Jirenmon.

"Nice to have you back, Kotori! I like the new look! It makes you really pretty!" Omega X said while trading fisticuffs with Jirenmon.

"Pretty's the last thing I ever wanted to be called, but thanks," Neo Frigg accepted his compliment. She flew in and went to punch Jirenmon.

Jirenmon casually sidestepped Neo Frigg. Neo Frigg then turned and cupped her hands together. Omega X immediately recognized the stance.

"Whoa, is that what I think it is?!" Omega X became flabbergasted.

"Something I picked up on while fighting that immoral bitch!" Neo Frigg fired a quick Aesir Kamehameha at Jirenmon.

"You've got to be kidding!" Metalla X shouted.

"Some form of the Kamehameha?!" Ventus Eris exclaimed.

"Terra Beams, Tsunami Waves, Kamehamehas, same difference," sardonically muttered Aduro Varuna.

Zeed X clapped, pretending to be impressed. "Oooo, awesome! Did you asspull that yourself, Kotori?!"

However, as the beam approached, Jirenmon backhanded Neo Frigg's beam attack.

"Aw, shit!" Neo Frigg blanched.

"Don't worry, you'll get another shot, Kotori," Omega X reassured her. "This Jirenmon guy is a whole league above everyone we've faced so far…"

Zeed X corrected him. "Except me, of course. Jirenmon, walk all over them."

Jirenmon casually walked toward Omega X, Metalla X, Neo Frigg, and the other Kuiper Senshi. The heroes flew ahead to collide with Zeed X's strongest warrior.

Angemon X made a mad dash toward Glacialis Sedna and Knut's location. He set his sights on ZarcDramon X.

Glacialis Sedna finally reached ZarcDramon X, who prepared to fly into battle once again.

"Ken! Christina! Stop, it's me, Karin!" Glacialis Sedna pleaded out to ZarcDramon X. "Can you hear me? Do you recognize my voice?!"

"Karin!" Angemon X was heard calling out to her.

"Dimitri! Thank goodness, but shouldn't you be giving your dad, Tai, and the others help?"

"Father insisted to come here. So, where do we begin?"

Glacialis Sedna and Angemon looked up at ZarcDramon X, who was on the verge of attacking Zeed X.

"Good question, but let's do all we can to bring brother and Christina to their senses," Glacialis Sedna said as she sighted Platinum Orcus poking out of ZarcDramon X's chest. "Christina! It's me, Sedna! Please, help me bring Ken back to normal!"

Hearing Sedna's face, Platinum Orcus slowly stirred and gritted hearing Sedna.

"Christina…!" Glacialis Sedna gasped as her friend started waking up.

"Karin…? Dimitri…?" Platinum Orcus murmured until ZarcDramon X, continued to fueled with rage, powered up and let raw energy flow through him. Platinum Orcus screamed as the everflowing dark energies inflicted pain, affecting even all of her pain receptors.

"He's unintentionally hurting her!" Angemon X exclaimed.

"Please, brother! Stop! Why can't you hear me?!" Glacialis Sedna pleaded with tears. She mounted Knut and flew up to ZarcDramon X's face.

"KARIN! DON'T!"

"Brother, I'm here! I know Zeed X did this to you! He's turned you and Christina into this…" Glacialis Sedna cried. "But, if my voice somehow can't reach you, then…" She summoned her Ice Trident again. "I'll have to show force, but are you willing to destroy me, brother? Would you kill me?"

ZarcDramon X opened his mouth as chaotic energies slowly leaked out and engulfed the space between them. Glacialis Sedna fearlessly stared at the draconic abomination, preparing to throw her own life for her brother and friend's sakes.

"I get it. You're full of guilt for destroying those dimensions. I know you and Christina are suffering deep down!" Glacialis Sedna cried. "It was Zeed X that made you do it! He made you this way! I can't and won't forgive him for this!"

"Don't do this, Karin!" Angemon X prepared to stop her.

"Don't move, Dimitri!"

Angemon X held his ground, helplessly watching Glacialis Sedna facing off with ZarcDramon X.

"If only Athena were here, if she were… then maybe she can make a difference," the future warrior wished for his daughter's presence once again.

Elsewhere, Toushinmon located Omega X (DF-616 Prime) and Saitou. Omega X (DF-616 Prime) was starting to recover after Zeed effortlessly crushed him and Metalla X (DF-616 Prime).

"Taichi, are you ok?" Toushinmon asked his DigiMazoku successor.

Rubbing his head, Omega X (DF-616 Prime) answered with a silly grin. "Heh, unless you count me and Matt getting our butts handed to us by the Dark God's old self being ok?" This remark earned him an awkward silent treatment from the two. The Digital Fused warrior's smile faded and he frowned. "We've gotta get back to the fight. Toushinmon, did you come to help us deal with Zeed?"

"On the contrary, checking on you was a priority before I set off to face the Synister Lords," the DigiMazoku lord replied.

Furrowing his brows, Saitou faced Omega X (DF-616 Prime). "What do you want to do, Taichi?"

"We have a fight to finish with the Dark God! We owe him a beating for humiliating us!" Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) declared as he landed near the group.

"Sorry, Toushinmon, but we're going to take a pass," Omega X (DF-616 Prime) answered. "You know I hate to leave fights unfinished."

Toushinmon grinned, chuckling. "I figured you'd say that. Very well, but you had better claim victory the next time we meet, Taichi."

"Then, I shall join you and Matt to fight Zeed," Saitou offered to Omega X (DF-616 Prime) and Metalla X (DF-616 Prime).

"Good, then are we set?" Omega X (DF-616 Prime) asked his two colleagues. "Later, Toushinmon. Give 'em hell!"

"Likewise, Taichi!" Toushinmon cackled and flew away to actively take part in the Synister Lord battle.

Omega X (DF-616 Prime), Metalla X (DF-616 Prime), and Saitou quickly flew into the air. They sensed Zeed's power and headed straight for that location.

"Looks like that other Sailor Moon, the phoenix woman, and that pink-haired goddess have already been fighting the Dark God," Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) noted, sensing the aforementioned trio's divine energies.

"Great, and looks like they've been hard at work weakening him. Our chances might be better this time!" Omega X (DF-616 Prime) exclaimed.

(Cue Kamehameha the Great – Morganstudios)

The heroes are in the final round against ChaosNova X Extinction Mode. The behemoth charged up a massive Chaotic Galactic Cannon from his right hand and hurled it at his enemies. Guilkatomon, Gallantmon CM (DF-616 Prime), Max & Gundamon GM, and ShineGreymon BM took the sphere head-on. The four fired simultaneous attacks to send the destructive sphere toward ChaosNova X EM. ChaosNova X EM held his ground, pushing his attack on his four adversaries.

"We can't let this attack through! We've got to send it back at him!" Max encouraged them.

"Easier said than done, Max!" Guilkatomon yelled out.

"Hey, jerkass! Up here!" Wimara called out, flying above ChaosNova X EM's far left side. She launched a barrage of energy bullets that grazed the behemoth's exposed body. She followed up by conjuring a cluster of red and green Ki blasts in her hands, which she then fired and homed in on her enemy. "I'm taking your ass down one way or another!"

As Wimara's continuous blasts dealt damage to him, ChaosNova X EM grew agitated and fired eyebeams at the Fuseha warrior. Wimara barely dodged ChaosNova X EM's beam, but her dropping her guard, allowed ChaosNova X EM to conjure a Chaotic Death Ball in his other free hand. The beast tossed said destructive ball at Max and company.

However, Sakuyamon (DF-616 Prime) and MegaGargomon (DF-616 Prime) intercepted the incoming attack.

"Rika, Henry! Don't!" Gallantmon CM (DF-616 Prime) cried out in horror.

"Hey, don't mourn for us! You keep fighting!" Sakuyamon (DF-616 Prime) insisted as she and MegaGargomon (DF-616 Prime) caught the black sphere.

"Wait…!" Renrukimon yelled as she got up to save her counterpart.

"You don't have to do this!" Terryamon shouted to MegaGargomon (DF-616 Prime).

"Y'all have to keep the fight going without us. You're still young…" MegaGargomon (DF-616 Prime) advised and beckoned Terryamon.

Clenching his fist, ChaosNova X EM made his Chaotic Death Ball self destruct, killing off Sakuyamon (DF-616 Prime) and MegaGargomon (DF-616 Prime).

"NO!" Inumuramon shouted.

"You're all going to join them!" ChaosNova X EM roared, successfully pushing his Chaotic Galactic Cannon forward, blasting back Max & Gundamon GM, Guilkatomon, Gallantmon CM (DF-616 Prime), and ShineGreymon BM.

"Max!" Keke cried out as she bounced back alongside WingGundamon.

After taking Digi-Vitamins, Celesta X HM, WarAngemon, Ultima X, Zordiark X, Houou X, Rosemon X, and Xander recuperated their energies to fight again.

"This freak has taken too many from us!" Rising up, Gallantmon CM (DF-616 Prime) shouted. "I'll never forgive him for taking Rika and Henry!"

As he got up, Guilkatomon openly vowed. "We'll get that chance, other me."

Readying her D-Sword, Celesta X HM charged at ChaosNova X EM. As the behemoth opened his mouth for a beam attack, she vanished out of thin air. ChaosNova X EM casually followed the Bearer of Light's movements, easily perceiving her next move. He turned to his left and saw Celesta X HM coming down for a sword swing.

"I've got you…!" ChaosNova X EM was taken aback as Celesta X HM vanished again. This distraction allowed WarAngemon to gut punch him.

WarAngemon charged Ki into his right hand and unleashed his Seraphi Fist. Ultima X and Zordiark X shot up, hitting an uppercut to ChaosNova X EM's lower jaw. The Ascendant duo's combined uppercut strike was enough to barely get ChaosNova X EM's feet off the ground ever slightly. Xander dove from mid-air and landed Ki-imbued kicks into ChaosNova X EM's face. Houou X flew around ChaosNova X EM, shooting a Phoenix Wave into the behemoth's back. Rosemon X's hair shifted on its own as multiple vines popped like Palmon's Poison Ivy, which she used to grab ChaosNova X EM's legs. She not only restrained, but used her vines to start draining some of his energy.

Celesta X HM reappeared once again, driving her sword into ChaosNova X EM's chest. She sliced up and downward, carving an 'X' across the behemoth's chest. She then fired a Super Holy Beam that slammed into and pushed ChaosNova X EM away.

"Great work, guys! Now here we go, WingGundamon!" Keke cried out as she and WingGundamon flew into ChaosNova X EM. She then cupped her hands forward in conjunction with WingGundamon, who mimicked her stance. Controlling from within WingGundamon, Keke charged Ki through her partner. Keke and WingGundamon quickly fired off Final Blaze, which hit ChaosNova X EM hard.

Despite getting hit by these attacks, ChaosNova X EM rebounded and charged up for a finishing attack. He jumped up and cupped both hands together, preparing for a Chaotic Tsunami Wave. The Kaijuu-sized villain cackled, wearing a crazed look on his face.

"He's going for broke, guys! We need to take him down now!" Max called out.

An assembly group formed to counter ChaosNova X EM. Max & Gundamon GM, Guilkatomon, Gallantmon CM (DF-616 Prime), ShineGreymon BM, Wimara, Celesta X HM, WarAngemon, Ultima X, and Zordiark X unleashed various attacks to clash with ChaosNova X EM's incoming Chaotic Tsunami Wave. The behemoth's enormous greenish blue wave was larger than before and had enough power to blow away every ruined building in the vicinity.

"BE CRUSHED AND DIE, VERMIN! BE GONE FROM MY SIGHTS!" ChaosNova X EM roared, sending more power to expand his Chaos Tsunami Wave's reach.

"C'mon, guys! Don't let up!" Max yelled out.

"We can do this!" Guilkatomon shouted.

"Hell yeah, we can!" Wimara boasted, charging up another cluster of red and green energies into her hands. She then lifted a thick aura, allowing her to fire intense laser-like blasts. She unleashed her Ray Blasts omnidirectionally, which bombarded ChaosNova X EM's body. She quickly conjured two spinning energy discs in her hands. "Yeah, and take these!" Unleashing her Gigantic Burst, she tossed her spinning discs, which cut off ChaosNova X EM's entire lower half.

"UGH! NO! NOTHING'S GOING TO SLOW ME DOWN!" ChaosNova X EM bellowed angrily. He concentrated and utilized Virus's regeneration to regrow his lower body.

Suddenly, Kaimodosu X AM joined in the fray and dove down, shoving her sword through ChaosNova X EM's side. She yelled out a battle roar and discharged powerful energies through the villainous beast, neutralizing him.

"That a way, Dorothy! Keep it up!" Celesta X HM shouted.

"He's all yours, Max!" Kaimodosu X AM exclaimed as ChaosNova X EM blew her away with his aura.

"It's over, Burizalor, Virus, and Yagami!" Max declared as he and Gundamon GM flew up, taking out a sword. As he imbued said weapon with Ki, Gundamon GM became bathed in Max's Super Ascendant Blue aura. He shot up, avoiding ChaosNova X EM's mouth blasts. "Y'alls evil days are numbered!"

"DIE!" ChaosNova X EM belched a green blast at Gundamon GM.

Max/Gundamon GM dodged ChaoNova X EM's blast and shot straight above the behemoth's head.

"For all my friends and family, let my anger empower this sword and deliver divine punishment to you! Go back to hell where y'all belong! Here's my… MY LOVE! MY ANGER! AND ALL OF MY SORROW!" Max passionately yelled out, extending Gundamon GM's Ki saber. The sword fed off his passion and grew twice as long as before.

Max/Gundamon GM quickly delivered multiple slashes at ChaosNova X EM. Unable to defend himself, ChaosNova X EM was carved up all over. Multiple slashes formed over his seemingly invulnerable body. The behemoth let out his final bellows as he split up.

Boom!

ChaosNova X EM's body exploded and dissolved. As a result of this, the three villains were thrown up into the air. GalacticNova X split up into Yagami and Agumon X. Yagami took one last glance at the Ascendants and their cohorts. His eyes then fell on Wimara. He visualized an image of a certain blonde-haired French girl next to Wimara. During his brief fight with FloraNova X, he was reminded of his old friend, Catherine Deneuve, who bore a resemblance to Willow.

"Catherine… goodbye…" Yagami muttered as he and Agumon X dissolved into digitized dust.

Virus seemingly dissolved as well. He gave one last look at Celesta X HM and ceased.

However, Burizalor briefly powered up into his Golden form, which was enough to save him from sharing a similar fate. He crash landed somewhere far off.

"Ugh, that dirty bastard just saved himself!" Ultima X growled.

"Yes, but I doubt he has any strength left to fight any of us now," WarAngemon noted.

"We've got to find him before we get away," Max instructed everyone. "There's no way we can allow him to escape. Besides, we still have Zeed X, Zeed, and those other two powers I've suddenly picked up on."

"We all sensed them during our fight here," Guilkatomon said. "Who are they?"

"Your guess is as good as mine, Takato," Max paled. "But, if their Ki powers are anything to go by, they're as strong if not stronger than a God of Destruction, especially the one fighting Tai, Matt, and the others."

"We've gotta get there right away, Max!" Keke pleaded. "My father and brother are over there!"

"And I'm worried for Tai as well!" Houou X said.

"Me, too! Wherever brother is, I'm going there!" Celesta X HM demanded.

"Wasn't planning to argue with any of you. I agree. We need to investigate this and help our friends any way we can!" Max declared.

"Yeah…!" Guilkatomon turned to Renrukimon, Terryamon, and Inumuramon. "Hey, can you three still go?"

"Are you kidding? Of course, we can!" Inumuramon said. "After the sacrifices the other Rika and Henry made, I'm still fired up!"

"We're not sitting out on this one," Terryamon added.

Renrukimon picked up the staff Sakuyamon (DF-616 Prime) left behind. "She's given me more reason to continue. Let's go and show Zeed X how we Tamers kick bad guy ass!"

"Max, we're all set!" Guilkatomon announced.

Max smiled. "Good, the more able fighters we have, the better."

As Kaimodosu X AM sat up, Max and Keke offered to get her up.

"You go on. I'll catch up," Kaimodosu X AM politely beckoned them off. "I need time to recover. Avengemon and Dee also need some time to replenish their energies since that last attack."

"If you say so," Keke nodded.

"Let's get moving!" Max rallied the troops.

Likewise, the heroes and Ordinemon are making their last stand against Kamoael. Goddess Moinanea and the DigiMazoku Lords have already arrived to assist their allies.

"Guys, look!" Kuwabara pointed out to the DigiMazoku Lords.

"Raizen, Mukuro, and Yomi?!" Yusuke balked at the resemblance of the Three Demon Lords from his dimension.

"Close, but not quite," Kurama observed them.

"Indeed, those are the DigiMazoku counters of Raizen, Mukuro, and Yomi," Kurama (DF-616 Prime) answered.

"They're Toushinmon, Mukuromon, and Hadesmon," Hiei (DF-616 Prime) revealed.

"And she almost looks like Tsunami! Y'know Sasami's goddess form!" Shaka noticed Goddess Moinanea.

"Like Sasami from Tenchi? That one, Yui?" Asked Kuwabara.

"Yep, that's right!" Shaka replied.

"How do you guys know about Sasami?" Ryoko asked the YYGDM-01 Spirit Detectives.

"Nevermind that! They're here to help either way!" Dai-Valkyrie Venus cried out.

"They'll definitely help turn things around," Sailor Venus (DF-616 Prime) said.

Turning his gaze toward Moinanea and the DigiMazoku Lords, Kamoael chuckled and arrogantly chuckled.

"Ah, Toushinmon, Mukuromon, and Hadesmon, you've shown yourselves. It'll be a pleasure to assert my authority after I've slain you and drenched my mouth with your blood!" Kamoael declared his vow to kill and devour the DigiMazoku Lords.

As Kamoael rushed through some city ruins, he lobbed demonic blasts at the DigiMazoku Lords and Moinanea. Moinanea put up a divine barrier, nullifying Kamoael's blasts. Kamoael raised a fist and punched the goddess' barrier. Moinanea channeled her divine energies to maintain the holy barrier.

The DigiMazoku lords quickly flew around Kamoael. Hadesmon conjured a green orb of light, which he used to fire a barrage of blasts from. He unleashed concentrated blasts that dazed the giant warrior's face. Kamoael fired a mouth beam with enough force to vaporize an entire cityscape. Hadesmon put up his Mazoku Absorption Wall, which absorbed and cancelled out Kamoael's blast. However, Kamoael came forward with a punch that broke Hadesmon's barrier and knocked him away.

"Hadesmon!" Mukuromon cried out, shifting her sights on Kamoael, who was ambushed by Ordinemon.

Ordinemon hung onto Kamoael's back and bit his right shoulder. Kamoael growled with fury and grabbed Ordinemon's head. The Combined Synister Lord slammed Ordinemon down. This distraction allowed Mukuromon enough time to slice through the third dimension with a finger. Kamoael felt a force of power cut through his left shoulder. Kamoael realized the attack came from Mukuromon.

"Wench, don't think I don't know about your ability to cut past the third dimension," Kamoael smirked evilly. He saw Mukuromon about to cut through the dimension, but he phased out and reappeared behind Mukuromon.

"What..?!" Before Mukuromon could say anything else, Kamoael swatted the DigiMazoku lord down.

"Hey, jerk! Did you forget about me?!" Came a newcomer's voice.

Alarmed, Kamoael turned around and got shoulder tackled by Shoutmon X7F Superior Mode. The Xros-Fused being hefted his mic and smacked the Synister Lord's face with it. After sending Kamoael flying into a building, Shoutmon X7F Superior Mode converted the mic into a large energy sword.

"Let him have it, Shoutmon!" Taiki encouraged his and his friends' combined Digimon.

Shoutmon X7F SM rushed head-on and swung down his Final Xros Blade. Kamoael recovered quickly and dodged Shoutmon X7F SM's finishing attack. Kamoael seized the entity's arm, attempting to disarm him. Shoutmon X7F SM retaliated by firing Double Flare Buster at the Synister Lord. Kamoael turned his arms into bird's wings and took to the air. He dive-bombed and knocked Shoutmon X7F SM down.

"Do you think you have what it takes to defeat the ultimate Synister?! To me, if our legacy is to continue, victory is everything!" Kamoael boasted, flapping his wings as he sent a barrage of projectile blades that rained down on the city.

"Heads up! Y'all better move!" Sailor Jupiter (DF-616 Prime) called out.

As the Sailor Senshi (YYGDM-01 & DF-616 Prime), the Spirit Detectives (YYGDM-01 & DF-616 Prime), Tenchi, Ryoko, Sakura, and Inuyasha prepared to move, a giant humanoid wall stood in their way and produced a sword long enough to deflect every projectile blade.

Their savior was Susanoomon, who readily conjured his Celestial Blade.

"Susanoomon!" The Sailor Senshi and the Spirit Detectives shouted in unison.

"Another challenger wishes to try their hand at toppling the ultimate Synister Lord?!" Kamoael roared as he dive-bombed straight into Susanoomon.

Susanoomon quickly sidestepped and let Kamoael fly past him. Susanoomon quickly seized Kamoael's right foot and swung him around several times. He threw Kamoael into a building and slammed him down hard.

"Nice slam!" Both Yusukes hollered together.

"And down he goes!" Both Kuwabaras yelled in unison.

Kamoael rose and flew into the air. His entire body glowed with a blinding flash of light that reflected off his body and wings. The Combined Synister Lord unleashed a wave of light that wiped half of the entire cityscape off the map. While most of the heroes managed to avoid the blasts, a few weren't so lucky: Hadesmon, Mukuromon, Sailor Jupiter (DF-616 Prime), Sailor Mercury (DF-616 Prime), Sailor Uranus (DF-616 Prime), Tuxedo Kamen (DF-616 Prime), Kuwabara (DF-616 Prime), Kurama (DF-616 Prime), and all of Team Xros Heart's human members minus Taiki, Kiriha, & Nene.

Witnessing her friends being killed, Sailor Moon (DF-616 Prime) used her Silver Crystal to transform into Neo-Queen Serenity. The white dress-garbed demigoddess hefted her Silver Crystal and fired a white beam that punched a hole through his chest. Kamoael doubled over and grabbed his wound. Moinanea clasped her hands together, forging divine rope that tied down Kamoael's arms.

Toushinmon and the Yusuke duo launched simultaneous Spirit Wave-like attacks that pushed Kamoael back. The Hiei duo fired dual Dragon of the Darkness Flame blasts that collided and scorched the Synister Lord's body.

Kamoael unleashed enough power to break Moinanea's bondage chains. Shoutmon X7F SM and Susanoomon charged at Kamoael. Both Digimon took turns pummeling the Synister Lord. Shoutmon X7F SM picked up his mic sword and rammed it into Kamoael's gut. Kamoael gripped the mic sword. When Susanoomon attempted to swing Celestial Blade at Kamoael's head, Kamoael instinctively converted his entire body in armor, which absorbed Susanoomon's sword.

As the struggle against the Synister Lord went on, Ordinemon stood up and faced Kamoael's direction.

Suddenly, as the battle continued on, the Digital Worlds of DF-616 Prime, in conjunction with the Dark Realm, were closing in and set to collide with Earth. This was the result of Ordinemon's reboot, which would set off a chain reaction and destroy all the worlds. This in turn would reset Earth and revert the Digital World to default settings.

"Raiselmon! Raguelmon!" Legolas called to Ordinemon. "Mother, is she really intending to initiate the reboot program?!"

"Yes, and would revert everything in the Digital World to its humble beginnings. All of us could possibly be changed or cease to exist. There's no reason this reboot needs to happen now!"

"So, what then, mother? How can we stop Ordinemon?"

Moinanea sighed. "This must be settled between myself and Ordinemon. Ordinemon is, after all, Apocalymon's reincarnation… our paths were supposed to cross if ZeedMillenniummon hadn't intervened." She floated over to Ordinemon. "Ordinemon, it is I, Lady Moinanea! I plead to you not to go through with the reboot program! You'll not only reset this world, but destroy us all!"

Ordinemon grunted. "...too late to stop the reboot… everything must be reset to bring balance…"

Moinanea disagreed. "No, you can stop this, but something's preventing you from stopping this reboot." She noticed Ordinemon giving Legolas the eye. "My son. The Rasielmon part of you loves him deeply, but the Raguelmon half is hesitant to let her sister go and be with my son. There's an internal conflict within you."

Ordinemon raised a hand to Legolas, who floated down to touch her. Ordinemon withdrew her hand and looked away.

"Rasielmon, Raguelmon! I'm sorry… I didn't mean to get between you," Legolas humbled himself, apologizing to Apocalymon's reincarnation.

"You know there's only one way to end the reboot, Ordinemon," Moinanea said.

Ordinemon slowly rose and faced toward the now darkened sky. She looked toward Legolas and exchanged a passionate glare with him. Legolas floated over to touch Ordinemon. She withdrew her face away. Legolas reached over and touched Ordinemon's face. He leaned over and kissed Ordinemon's forehead.

"Go. Do what you need to do," Legolas said, seemingly willing to let Ordinemon go.

Ordinemon moved away from Legolas and headed back into the conflict.

"This has to be done, Legolas," Moinanea murmured.

"I know," he said, closing his eyes tight.

As Ordinemon advanced into the battle, Shoutmon X7F SM and Susanoomon restrained Kamoael. The Synister Lord managed to muscle his way out and rammed both Digimon's heads together. Susanoomon recovered and transformed into SuperSusanoomon. Bathed in bluish flames, Susanoomon unleashed a massive tidal wave of blue flames that engulfed Kamoael. Then, Ordinemon swooped down behind Kamoael and shoved a hand through Kamoael's chest. The Synister Lord grimaced in shock as Ordinemon then transferred her corrupted data to neutralize him.

"Ugh, damn you! Think this is enough to destroy me?!" Kamoael grinned fiendishly. "You're leaving yourself open to me absorbing your being! Once incorporating Apocalymon's former data into me, I'll become the ultimate life form!"

"You just love hearing yourself talk, do you?!" Came a voice belonging to Jax.

As Kamoael blinked, Jax materialized right in front of his face. Charging energy into his right hand, the Artificial clenched that fist and hammered Kamoael between the eyes. This packed enough power to daze and knock out the Synister Lord's sense of direction. As he became disoriented, Kamoael stumbled around.

Just then, Kamoael felt himself being lifted off the ground. He saw his left foot being lifted by Botamomon and Magettamon. The Digiverse 6 duo deadlifted the Synister Lord's foot high up to send him into the air.

"Thanks for keeping him busy!" Jax (DF-616 Prime) joined in with Jax. "Ready?"

"Aim! And fire!" Jax yelled as he and Jax (DF-616 Prime) fired energy beams into Kamoael.

Then, the Sonja duo floated behind Kamoael's back and followed suit, shooting continuous blasts. The BW tossed double Terra Destroyers into Kamoael's gut. BanchoLeomon Burst Mode, Sheila, and CyberLeomon unleashed Ki beams that tore through Kamoael's torso.

"I am the ultimate life form! All flesh and digitized beings should kneel to me!" Kamoael boasted, trying to heal all of his wounds, but there were too many warriors to keep track of. "Synisters, heed my call and come!"

Upon hearing their master's plea, the last remaining Synisters stormed out of the city ruins and headed over to aid him.

"Oh no, you don't! Senshi, let's take these freaks out!" Dai-Valkyrie Venus announced.

The Sailor Senshi transformed into their Princess forms. Amare Venus, Tonitrus Jupiter, Aquarius Mercury, Caelum Uranus, Mare Neptune, Exitium Saturn, and Princess Serenity III quickly intercepted and wiped out the majority of the Synisters. Tuxedo Kamen transformed into King Endymion and helped cut down the remaining Synisters.

The remaining Sailor Senshi & Spirit Detectives (DF-616 Prime), Tenchi, Ryoko, Inuyasha, and Sakura took out a handful of Synisters. Kabuto X, Vulcan X, Zephyr X, Shunoros X, Thomas & MirageGaogamon, Yoshino & Rosemon, Ruki, and Infernomon wiped out the last Synister hordes.

"Curse you all…!" Kamoael scowled, witnessing his Synister subjects being obliterated before his own eyes.

Then, a giant ball of purple light collided with Kamoael's head and further disoriented him. The Synister Lord looked up as he saw Yugi Muto floating in mid-air with Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl.

"That was for Kaiba and the people you killed, you monster," Yugi angrily muttered.

"It's over!" SuperSusanoomon declared as he imbued the sword with blue flames. Then, he drove his Super Celestial Blade through Kamoael and bisected him with an upward vertical slash.

Kamoael's whole body was split in two. Desperately trying to put himself back together, Ordinemon grabbed the bisected Synister Lord. She grabbed his two halves and covered herself in a white aura.

"Rasielmon, Raguelmon!" Legolas called out, witnessing the divine fallen angel glowing with a bright light that consumed her and Kamoael.

Legolas, I love you. Rasielmon's voice telepathically reached Legolas.

I guess you weren't that bad a guy to make my sister happy. Thank you. Raguelmon interjected.

Before words could leave his mouth, Legolas, and among others, witnessed the while veil of light vanish, which erased both Ordinemon and Kamoael. Every trace of Ordinemon was permanently removed, thus ending Apocalymon's legacy and driving the Synister race into extinction.

"It's as you predicted, Lord Beerusmon," Moinanea closed her eyes. "You predicted Ordinemon's demise as clear as day."

Legolas fell to his knees, crying but not out of sadness. He cried proudly of his lover and her sister. "No, thank you both. I'll never forget this."

"And with the Synister Lord's demise, the Synister race is no more. And soon their own world will cease," Moinanea watched as the doorway into the Dark Realm closed. "Sadly, we did suffer casualties." She scanned the bodies of the slain, most of which came from the DF-616 Prime, but a few from the other dimension parties suffered losses: notably Seto Kaiba and Ikuto & Ravemon. "And I fear more will fall, which we must prevent if it costs us deities our lives."

As he landed to take a breath, Yugi saw the Sailor Senshi and Spirit Detectives.

"Yugi, where are the others?!" Amare Venus asked him.

"They're recovering, but we lost Kaiba," Yugi reported regrettably. "I couldn't save him."

"Kaiba's gone…?!" Tonitrus Jupiter cried out.

"Damn it, this sucks!" Yusuke punched the ground hard.

A gloomy mood hit the group.

"And we lost Ikuto," Yoshino said as she, Thomas, and their Digimon carried Ikuto with them. Leaving no body behind, Falcomon was deleted quickly after his death.

"Akari, Kenjiro, and the others… they're all gone," Taiki mourned the loss of his friends and components of Team Xros Hearts.

"Yuu and Kotone, too." Nene cried herself to tears over her siblings' deaths.

BanchoLeomon BM spoke up. "Come, everyone. We can prevent any more deaths if we go to where our friends are. We better hurry."

Unbeknownst to the heroes, a rift was created in the sky caused by Ordinemon's sacrifice. No, more like this is what Zeed X wanted. This rift presumably could lead to a prime dimensional source.

(Cue The Fifth Power (SSJ5 theme) – Morganstudios)

Meanwhile, Neo-Queen Serenity, Houou Mars, and Ultimate Madoka continued their war with Zeed. The magical girl trio managed to wear Zeed down. Between the future queen's Silver Crystal power, Houou Mars's cosmic flames, and Ultimate Madoka's Nebula Arrows, Zeed X's previous incarnation was severely damaged. The trio's divine powers effectively slowed Zeed's regeneration.

Houou Mars extended her arms and conjured a giant flaming bird from her Houou cloak. The phoenix construct flew into and consumed Zeed in cosmic flames. Zeed tried shaking off the flames, but as he came to, Houou Mars appeared above him and started siphoning off his powers.

"Let me go…!" Zeed growled as he felt his entire body being subdued as Houou Mars absorbed a plentiful amount of his power to add to her Houou cloak, converting his energy to feed the Houou.

"Don't feed too much of him! We don't know what kind of dangerous energy he has!" Ultimate Madoka advised her.

Having collected enough, Houou Mars powered up with an even bigger Houou cloak.

"Don't worry, we took all we needed!" Houou Mars called out, fueling the cosmic bird's appetite and giving herself a boost.

"All right, it's time to finish this," Neo-Queen Serenity declared, powering up her Silver Crystal.

"NO!" Zeed bellowed as he unleashed an immense shockwave that knocked the three back.

Ultimate Madoka quickly formed a barrier over them. Houou Mars returned the favor by projecting and striking Zeed with a concussive force. Houou Mars followed up by conjuring a giant fiery arrow. She fired her Houou Flame Sniper that struck Zeed head-on. This knocked Zeed back. Ultimate Madoka fired a seemingly limitless barrage of Nebula Arrows that pierced into Zeed. Neo-Queen Serenity propelled over Zeed and caught him with a full-powered blast from her Silver Crystal.

Boom!

Zeed crash landed near the vicinity where Tempus Pluto VM and company engaged Toppomon. Neo-Queen Serenity, Houou Mars, and Ultimate Madoka descended over Zeed's fallen form.

As Zeed steadily rose, he gasped upon seeing Omega X (DF-616 Prime), Metalla X (DF-616 Prime), and Saitou landing in front of him.

"Damn it… not this way…" Zeed scowled. "Destroy me, but you still have my current incarnation to deal with." He gathered the last vestiges of his power to fight with.

"It's over. Just give it up," Omega X (DF-616 Prime) said, cupping his hands together and gathering Ki inside his palms.

In response to the current threat, Zeed expanded his body and grew longer as his size matched that of SliferGigaSeadramon's gargantuan form.

xxxxx

"What was that?!" Gao Pluto TM tried out, hearing the loud crash in the distance. "That also made the ground shake, too!"

Tempus Pluto VM answered. "That was the other Zeed. Seems Sailor Moon, Madoka, Sailor Mars, and the Houou were able to bring him down. However, the other Zeed has recollected himself and gathered the last of his strength. They better finish him off quickly."

Devil Homura was quietly relieved Madoka was still alive and kicking. She then turned her focus toward Toppomon, who prepared for his next attack. Toppomon vanished and reappeared near his adversaries. He tossed more Destruction Ball in hopes of deleting any one of his opponents. As Gao Pluto TM prepared to dodge, Toppomon jumped up and tossed multiple Ki blasts. One blast exploded near the Lycan Senshi.

(End theme)

"Ahhh!" The Lycan Senshi screamed as she was knocked away.

"HINA!" Tempus Pluto VM cried out as she flew down to save her goddaughter.

"Hang on, Hina!" CyberTitaniamon dove down to get her.

"Evil must be purged!" Toppomon launched a Destruction Ball at Gao Pluto TM, Tempus Pluto VM, and CyberTitaniamon.

Gao Pluto TM gasped in horror as the mortal cleansing blast headed her way. She closed her eyes.

Suddenly, Gao Pluto TM felt someone grab her and whisked her away from the Destruction Ball's reach. Kara/SandrockGundamon tossed a giant block of debris, which the blast deleted instead.

"Whew, that was a close shave!" David/HeavyArmsGundamon said.

"Y'mean save?" Kara asked.

"Or, that."

As she came to, Gao Pluto TM opened her eyes and saw a ghost. However, this ghost saved her at the last second.

"Wakey wakey, Hina!" A cheery voice belonging to Athena snapped Gao Pluto TM to life.

"Ath-Athena…?" Gao Pluto TM blinked thrice as she realized her friend was no dream or mind trick. "ATHENA!" She cried and hugged her. "YOU'RE HERE!"

Athena returned the favor and hugged Gao Pluto TM. PinkPatamon was seen sitting on Athena's right shoulder.

"And me, too! How the heck do you forget me?!" PinkPatamon puffed up.

"Heh, I will never forget you, PinkPatamon," the Lycan Senshi caressed the Digimon's soft face.

"Athena?!" CyberTitaniamon was taken aback by the child's return to the living. "I don't know how or why you're here, but I'm happy to see you, kid!"

"Titaniamon! Where's Karin, Dimitri, and uncle Ken?" Athena asked Kensuke's Digimon.

"Over there," CyberTitaniamon pointed to the far right. "Your mom was here, but she left to help your dad and Ken."

"Yeah, I can sense them," Athena nodded. "I'll see them very soon." She helped Gao Pluto TM and faced Toppomon. "But, we have a fight here first!"

Tempus Pluto VM landed beside Athena. "This is a most pleasant surprise, but this is an opponent far too great for you, Athena."

"Yes, you're best off taking Hina out of here and regrouping with your parents, Athena," Devil Homura said.

Athena smirked calmly. "I've gotten stronger. You think I wasn't doing anything while I was in Digi-heaven?"

Kara gasped. "So, when Tike mentioned bringing help, he meant…"

"Yep, me!" Athena winked. "I was in Other World and trained with someone very strong."

"Who, Athena?" David queried in curiosity.

"Some cool guy who looks like grunkle Tai! Taito Yagami!"

"Taito?!" Kara and David exclaimed in unison.

"Is that anyone special?" Gao Pluto TM asked them.

"Like one of the most well-known legendary heroes in the Digiverse!" David said. "He was your trainer, Athena?!"

"Uh huh. And he took me to a special place to help me unlock new powers!" Athena replied. "Wanna see?"

"Um, you might want to hurry, because he's done hearing us chatting!" CyberTitaniamon pointed to Toppomon about to attack.

"PinkPatamon!" Athena called out as she took out her Digivice, which she used to fuse her and her partner. She then transformed into her basic Ascendant form: Athena X. Bathed in a golden aura, Athena X powered up.

"That's just the vanilla Ascendant transformation. Are you sure you've gotten stronger?" Kara asked her.

"Yep! Here we go!" Athena X powered up. Her golden aura gained electricity, a sign of her hitting Ascendant 2 status. "Level 2 isn't too special, but this next one should impress ya!"

Toppomon rushed the group. However, SandrockGundamon and HeavyArmsGundamon intercepted him. Tempus Pluto VM and Devil Homura combined their temporal magic to slow Toppomon as much as they could.

"That should be enough to hold him temporarily! Hurry, Athena!" Devil Homura called out.

"Right!" Athena X passionately cried out as her golden hair extended back. Rather than spiking up, her hair fell to the wayside and became long. The backend of her hair retained spiky features. She tapped into her new power, learned from Taito's teachings. Cool air surrounded Athena X. From this cold wind, sheets of ice materialized over the Ascendant child. Her hot golden hair cooled becoming a metallic light blue. Then, emerald armor formed over her upper frame. The armor resembled Ophanimon's. Ten golden wings poked from her back; five protruding on each side.

Witnessing her friend's transformation, Gao Pluto TM fell into awe.

"What'ca think, Hina? Oh, and if you're wondering what name I've given myself? I have ice like my mom and have angel wings like my dad. I almost called myself IceAngewomon, but nah… just call me ArcticOphanimon X!"

"ArcticOphanimon X?!" Gao Pluto TM was flabbergasted by this.

ArcticOphanimon X grabbed Gao Pluto TM. "C'mon, let's go and see my family! Pluto, I'll take care of her!"

"Thank you, Athena, and welcome back," Tempus Pluto VM nodded, watching the two children fly off in the opposite direction.

"Your numbers are dwindling, but only because your comrades are abandoning you," Toppomon taunted Tempus Pluto and company.

"Wrong, you Dr. Eggman-mustache wearing douchebag!" Kara insulted him. "They just got bigger fish to fry!"

"Yep, we can take care of you!" David added.

"I hope so," CyberTitaniamon muttered.

"No, we can do this, my friends," Tempus Pluto VM readied a battle stance. Her wings extended and converted into blades, which shot like bullets at Toppomon.

With a wave, Toppomon's destruction aura wiped out the blades. Tempus Pluto, Devil Homura, CyberTitaniamon, Kara/SandrockGundamon, and David/HeavyArmsGundamon headed off Toppomon for the final clash.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - The Power to Resist)

The fight against Jirenmon had become a no-win situation for Omega X, Metalla X, Hit, the Kuiper Senshi, Sam/DeathScytheGundamon, Tike/AltronGundamon, Mastemon, OmegaShoutmon, Utopia, and the rest of Kensuke's Digimon Army.

Jirenmon stepped past OmegaShoutmon and faced off against Omega X, Hit, and Aduro Varuna.

"The hell kind of bastard are we facing here?!" Aduro Varuna was flabbergasted by Jirenmon's intense power. She scanned the other Kuipers, who were getting back up for battle.

"Someone obviously above our league, Tyra," Omega X panted and recollected himself. "The fact you and the Kuipers are standing and willing to fight just shows how tough, you ladies are."

Aduro Varuna readily brandished Mjolnir and Stormbreaker. "I'm flattered you have so much confidence in us. I'm hella surprised I can still fight in this dress."

"Don't take your eyes off him not even for a moment," Hit advised them.

As Jirenmon opened his eyes, a shockwave erupted and exploded behind the trio. Omega X, Aduro Varuna, and Hit bounced up avoiding Jirenmon's concentrated attack. Hit used his Time Skip on Jirenmon, seemingly trapping him in a field invisible to everyone's eye but Hit. Jirenmon felt his entire body frozen.

That's his Time Skip! We've got him! Omega X thought. "Tyra! Hurry and get in your attacks now!" He cupped his hands together.

Aduro Varuna crossed both Mjolnir and Stormbreaker. She combined light and thunder powers, forming Thor's visage around her aura. She dive-bombed toward Jirenmon.

Omega X utilized a strategy that he's gone for broke before. He used Instant Movement to teleport in front of Jirenmon and fired off Tsunami Wave point blank. At the same time, Aduro Varuna prepared to collide with Jirenmon.

Suddenly, Hit doubled over as a powerful blow connected with his gut. Hit fell as Jirenmon broke out of his Time Skip. He then narrowly avoided Aduro Varuna's head-on collision and stopped Omega X's attack with one hand. Aduro Varuna rebounded and tossed a Mjolnir's Strike bolt from Thor's hammer. Jirenmon stopped the thunderbolt with his other free hand.

Omega X and Aduro Varuna exerted all their energies on Jirenmon, who barely seemed to strain.

He's stopping our attacks with just his hands?! Both Omega X and Aduro Varuna exclaimed in thought.

Jirenmon quickly punched the ground hard, sending both warriors flying back. Then, as Jirenmon jumped back, the Ascendant and Kuiper's attacks collided, triggering an explosion that erupted and shook the entire vicinity.

"VARUNA!" The Kuipers shouted and headed over to collect her.

"That gamble didn't pay off, Tai," Metalla X said, picking up Omega X.

Angemon X blanched at the terrifying power demonstrated by Jirenmon. "Tai! Father and the others are getting creamed out there, and Zeed X's just enjoying this! Karin, I hate to say it, but we might have to send Ken on him the way he is!"

Glacialis Sedna shook her head, trying to wake Platinum Orcus. "No, there's no telling in his state of mind if brother will destroy this dimension. I have to keep reaching brother!"

"KARIN! DIMITRI!" The call of a child familiar to them garnered their attention.

"Karin, did you…?"

"...hear… Athena?" Glacialis Sedna asked.

(End theme)

Suddenly, their hearts beat as they felt her presence. Glacialis Sedna and Angemon X turned around. ArcticOphanimon X flew toward them carrying Gao Pluto TM.

"Guess who's back?!" ArcticOphanimon X called out to them.

"Athena…?" Glacialis Sedna gasped, shaking her head as tears fell from her eyes. "ATHENA!"

"But, how did she get here?!" Angemon X wondered. A smile adorned his face. "Like that matters! Athena!"

"ATHENA! YOU'RE ALIVE!" Meryl wailed happily to her friend.

As AltronGundamon stood, Tike, inside the cockpit, smirked. "Heh, about time you came, Athena."

"So, this is the other help you were talking about?" Sam asked Tike.

"My god, she's back," Metalla X was baffled by ArcticOphanimon X's return. He smiled. "Looks like Anubimon and Other World decided to send reinforcements since we're in such a drastic situation."

"Welcome back, Athena!" Omega X called to the girl. "Hey, Yamakins, notice her new form?"

"Yes, it seems she's found a way to ascend further."

"She probably got to keep her body and was allowed to train under someone to prepare her for this," Omega X stated. I bet it was you, Taito.

As she set Gao Pluto TM down, ArcticOphanimon X pounced and hugged Glacialis Sedna and Angemon X.

"Boy, aren't we happy to see you, sweetie," Glacialis Sedna wiped happy tears from her eyes. She noted her future daughter's halo. "Oh, you're still dead."

"Yeah, but I don't feel dead! I've never felt more alive being with you," ArcticOphanimon X kissed her parents' cheeks. She looked past them and noticed ZarcDramon X. "Is that uncle Ken?"

"Yes, I know he looks scary…" Glacialis Sedna tried to explain.

"And aunt Christina, too." ArcticOphanimon X frowned, shifting her eyes toward Zeed X. "That mean man did this, right?"

"He did. We need your uncle Ken and aunt Christina to fight with us to stop him," Glacialis Sedna replied.

ArcticOphanimon X looked up at ZarcDramon X. "Maybe I can help, Karin."

"How?" Gao Pluto TM asked her friend. "Will he be able to recognize you?"

"I've gotta try," ArcticOphanimon X said as she grabbed Glacialis Sedna's hand. "Let's help uncle Ken and aunt Christina!"

The Ascendant child's actions strengthened Glacialis Sedna's resolve to restore Kensuke and Platinum Orcus.

"Let's do this, Athena."

"You two be careful," Angemon X cautiously advised them, watching them fly up to ZarcDramon X.

Glacialis Sedna and ArcticOphanimon X hovered around ZarcDramon X. ZarcDramon X eyed them closely.

"Uncle Ken, it's me! Athena!" ArcticOphanimon X reasoned with the beast. "I know you're feeling terrible. That mean man took aunt Christina away and made you sad! I saw what happened from the Other World place! Just remember all the good memories we had together!" She noticed Platinum Orcus poking out the center of ZarcDramon X's chest. "Aunt Christina, I know you can hear me! It's Athena! Please wake up!"

After what seemed near impossible to awaken Platinum Orcus, she stirred and opened her eyes. The Ascendant child's voice was enough to awaken her.

"My god…" Glacialis Sedna gasped as she watched her brother and friend awaken.

ZarcDramon X grunted loudly. Then, Kensuke's voice was barely audible, but Glacialis Sedna and ArcticOphanimon X could hear him.

"At...Athena…?" ZarcDramon X/Kensuke lowly muttered.

Just then, more heroes have arrived. Wimara, Max/Gundamon GM, Keke/WingGundamon, Jax, Ultima X, Sonja, BanchoLeomon BM, and Sheila were the first to confront Zeed X and Jirenmon.

"Look! There they are!" Ultima X pointed to Omega X and the others fighting Jirenmon. His eyes fell on Jirenmon as he halted. "Oh crap, who the heck is that?! Are you guys getting a feel on this big guy's energy?!"

Sonja nodded. "This is one hell of a power. It's even larger than that giant demon we helped put down!"

Resolving to fight, Jax clenched both fists. "After that last punch I gave that big guy, I'm fired up. C'mon, sis and Davis, we're in this together."

Ultima X replied. "Right!" He followed the Artificial twins into the Jirenmon battle. Man, TK, Kari, you guys better hope you find wherever Burizalor is!

As Jirenmon headed toward Omega X, Metalla X, Hit, Neo Frigg, and the Kuiper Senshi, a barrage of energy bullets bombarded the space between the two opposing sides. They looked up to see Gundamon GM and WingGundamon descend near them.

Max/Gundamon GM called out to Omega X. "TAI!"

Keke/WingGundamon shouted to Metalla X. "We're here, dad!"

Omega X smiled, sighing with relief. "About time y'all can make it!"

Wimara landed next to Omega X. "We all got held up, but we kicked the other bad guys' butts!"

"The Synisters, Virus, and Yagami are dead, but Burizalor escaped. We have others combing this place to find him," Max reported.

"Burizalor's still alive. That sneaky bastard will do anything to stay alive," Metalla X scowled.

Overhearing this, Zeed X chuckled and landed next to Jirenmon. He leaned on Jirenmon's right shoulder.

"Heh, welcome, ladies, gents, weirdos, and assholes alike. So, is it Burizalor's still out there trying to survive? I have to give it to that stubborn emperor, he's quite persistent and adamant about not dying." Zeed X put on a smarmy face. "Anyway, enough about that guy. Let's talk about my new right hand man. Meet Jirenmon."

Growing distressed sensing Jirenmon's power, BanchoLeomon BM warned his colleagues. "Don't let your guards down with this one, everyone. His power eclipses that Synister Lord and the other villains we've faced up to now."

Sheila readied threads. "Why should I be surprised? The next bad guy is always stronger than the last."

Zeed X interjected. "Yes, it's called power escalation. Quite cliché, but tried and true in stories like this."

"What?" Ultima X blinked in confusion over Zeed X's terminology explanation.

"Nothing you needn't know about, Davis. Anyway, you're in luck since you're all going to be Jirenmon's next victims," the anomalous being declared.

"Get ready, everyone. I don't know if all of us together stands a chance," Omega X said, standing in a battle stance.

"Now, OP-mon. Show them your full power!" Zeed X ordered the Grey.

(Cue JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusader OST - DIO's World)

Then, Jirenmon powered up to his fullest. He screamed as a volatile burst of crimson energy appeared out of his body. Breaking well beyond his previous limits, Jirenmon unleashed a newfound power so intense, the very release of it caused the top portion of his Digital Pride Trooper uniform to be burned off, and set his surroundings ablaze with fiery ki. His muscular mass has increased. His crimson aura is retained coupled with his full power.

"Yes! YES! THIS IS THE KING OF ALL OP-NESS!" Zeed X happily yelled. He then coughed in the middle of his enthusiastic fanboy moment. Gah, note to self: next time, don't choke on your spit. Not like I'll die from choking on my own spit, but still…gross!

Jirenmon bounced right off from his spot and launched a glowing fist toward the group. Omega X and company avoided Jirenmon's reach. Omega X, Metalla X, BanchoLeomon BM, Ultima X, Jax, Sonja, Sheila, Neo Frigg, and the Kuipers fired a volley of Ki blasts, which Jirenmon neutralized with a Ki barrier. Jirenmon powered up, sending the Ki blasts back at the warriors. They dodged and moved around their own attacks.

Max/Gundamon GM and Keke/WingGundamon unleashed energy bullets at Jirenmon. The Grey quickly batted away their blasts.

"Ugh, this guy's just not letting up!" Keke grew agitated.

"He's on the move!" Max yelled out as Jirenmon vanished. "Damn, he's moving faster than anything I've ever seen before!"

As Jirenmon reappeared, the two Gundam Digimon fired at Jirenmon again. Jirenmon swung down an arm, sending a shockwave that caused the incoming blasts to explode.

Sighting Jirenmon, BanchoLeomon BM imbued his fist with Ki energy. You're mine now!

Bang!

A beam shot through BanchoLeomon's chest. The Bancho warrior coughed blood and fell to the ground. Everyone witnessing this fell into brief shock, but none were as emotionally distraught as Sheila.

"BANCHOLEOMON!" Sheila screamed in horror.

"No, BanchoLeomon!" Omega X yelled out.

The perpetrator behind this sneak attack was Zeed X, who blew on his finger as if it were a smoking gun.

Sheila flew over to catch BanchoLeomon BM. She grieved and looked furiously at Zeed X.

"You conniving bastard! Since when was this your fight?!" Sheila hissed at the anomalous being.

Chuckling, Zeed X ignored Sheila's retort. "Sheesh, why do so many Leomon have to die in Digimon continuity? It's like they're always preordained to die. Must be that sacrificial lion trope set by Aslan ages ago."

Having heard enough, Sheila ensnared Zeed X with threads.

"YOU BASTARD! YOU KILLED HIM!" Sheila furiously screamed, sending volatile energies to neutralize Zeed X. She continued zapping him. "I swear… you're not getting off easy! DO YOU HEAR ME?!"

Zeed X shook off Sheila's threads and sent energies through the thread. Sheila screamed in agony as Zeed X's own energies filled her. Zeed X unleashed enough force to send Sheila flying back. Sheila crashed into a wall and hung limp.

"Geez, enough with the over dramatics," Zeed X scoffed. "And why the heck are we YELLING?!"

"BanchoLeomon, Sheila! They can't be…!" Sonja couldn't sense either warriors' Ki anymore.

"Now, you've done it!" Max roared as he powered up into Super Ascendant Blue. He and Gundamon GM flew down to attack Zeed X.

"MAX! DON'T!" Omega X shouted as he flew in to stop Max/Gundamon GM.

Jirenmon quickly intercepted and punched Gundamon GM away. He and Omega X briefly exchanged fisticuffs, but the Grey clobbered him with an overhead smash.

Grinning devilishly, Zeed X dove toward Max/Gundamon. He amassed a black sphere and tossed it at the fallen Gundam Digimon and his Ascendant pilot.

"...damn it…" Max gritted. "We gotta move, Gojiramon! Move!"

As Gundamon GM started to stir, Zeed X prepared to blast him away.

Then, Keke/WingGundamon threw herself between Max/Gundamon GM and Zeed X's blast.

"KEKE!" Sam and Tike cried out in unison.

Keke/WingGundamon rushed and clashed with Zeed X's beam. She pushed against the blast, but ultimately got overwhelmed and caught within its destructive energies.

"NO, KEKE!" Max shouted to his girlfriend.

"Max, you and the others need to keep fighting! I know you'll beat this guy!" Keke smiled, meeting her demise head-on. She and WingGundamon were quickly wiped out by Zeed X's beam.

"Chin up, Max Kamiya. She died saving you and your buddies," Zeed X said, conjuring a hat as he bowed and prayed for Keke's death. "Heh, that's what I'd say if I gave a hoot about her!" He tossed the hat aside.

Whoosh!

Max/Gundamon GM lunged and punched at Zeed X, but the anomalous being avoided him.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!" Max bellowed, powering up as Gundamon GM was covered in a light blue sheen. He launched and fired a Tsunami Wave at Zeed X, who casually knocked it away with one hand.

"C'mon, you can make bigger ones than that, Max."

"SHUT UP!" Max angrily roared and attacked Zeed X.

"Max!" Tike/AltronGundamon and Sam/DeathScytheGundamon rushed to the aid of their D3 leader.

"Damn, I can't believe he got BanchoLeomon," Jax checked on BanchoLeomon's body. He clenched his fist and fiercely glared at Zeed X.

"We've still got him to worry about!" Ultima X pointed toward Jirenmon, who was seen kicking Hit and Aduro Varuna back. He was in the middle of fighting off Omega X, Metalla X, Neo Frigg, and Wimara. "As long as we're still breathing, we can still fight!"

Ultima X and the Artificial twins joined in to fight against Jirenmon. The other Kuipers recovered as they set their sights on Zeed X and Jirenmon.

Rosa Quaoar shook her head. "I think we may be way over our heads here."

Ventus Eris growled. "No! We're still alive, right? Then, we can keep going! We're the Kuiper Senshi!" She stood ready to fight.

Potio Ixion recovered Aduro Varuna. "Can you still go, Varuna?"

"Of course, I can…" Aduro Varuna stubbornly replied, recalling Mjolnir to her hand.

After quickly disposing Sam/DeathScytheGundamon and Tike/AltronGundamon, Zeed X avoided Gundamon GM's strikes. Max unloaded a fist barrage on Zeed X. Zeed X casually parried their blows and punched the Gundam Digimon back.

"Hey, Tike, nice halo ring you got going!" Zeed X casually taunted the Ascendant child.

"Piss off!" Tike retorted.

"Oh ho, language, dear boy!" Zeed X chuckled. "And Max, you unleashed all that anger, but that didn't do jack to me. You failed your girl, man. So much for the legacy of the D3s. Your creator must be shaking his head now." He then turned toward the Kuipers. "Oh, speaking of OCs…" He descended in front of the Kuipers. "You ladies are such gluttons for punishment." He scanned Aduro Varuna, Rosa Quaoar, Ventus Eris, and Potio Ixion. "Let's see we have four OCs; six if we count Sedna and Orcus, but they're preoccupied right now with Ken." He faced Ventus Eris and singled her out. "And you, Taylor West-Stonebagel, just underwent yet another genderbent fiasco."

Ventus Eris blushed beet red. "That was a freak accident because of that stupid place we were in! Besides, that's behind me and Tyler is part of me in spirit now!"

Zeed X chuckled. "Yeah, like that'll make a difference against me." He then shifted his view to Harena Haumea and Illusio Makemake. "And we technically got two pre-existing tertiary characters from a children's card game series, who somehow have somewhat relevant, became additional Sailor Senshi, and achieved ascended status. Kudos to you Vivian Wong and Miho Nosaka."

"You just love hearing yourself run your mouth, do you?" Harena Haumea became irked with Zeed X's clever wittiness.

"If you were me, you'd be talking like a big shot, too. In any case, I kinda wish Rebecca Hawkins was a Kuiper instead of you."

"WHAT?! Don't you dare bring up her name!" The Chinese woman fumed.

Illusio Makemake calmed her friend down. "Easy, Haumea! He's trying to get under your skin!"

"Hey, asshole! Catch!" Aduro Varuna tossed Mjolnir at Zeed X, who stopped it with his hand.

"Um, what are you doing?"

With his attention on the hammer, the Kuipers stormed Zeed X and attacked him head-on. Rosa Quaoar tossed a barrage of deadly thorns and flesh-eating roses called Carnivorous Audrey Roses. Zeed X easily burned the man-eating roses and thorns. Potio Ixion jumped up and fired thousands of poisonous arrows at Zeed X. Zeed X casually waved his hand and blew the arrows away. Illusio Makemake conjured hundreds of illusionary clones of herself. The lavender-haired Kuiper and her army charged Zeed X. Zeed X summoned a Death Ball-like orb, which he then compressed into a beam and fired it. He wiped out every Makemake clone, exposing the real one.

"Nice try, but you can't fool these eyes," Zeed X smirked.

Then, a green rope lassoed his right arm and pulled him away. He found himself being jerked forward and tossed around by Ventus Eris. The Kuiper yanked Zeed X forward and punched him hard in the torso. Harena Haumea then blasted Zeed X with a sandblast. Using Flash Step to snatch Zeed X, Aduro Varuna rushed forward and beheaded him with her Stormbreaker axe. She then disarmed both his arms and kicked his body back.

"I'll take from here!" Max interjected. Max/Gundamon GM picked up Zeed X's pieces and tossed far away. He then fired a quick Tsunami Wave that destroyed Zeed X's body parts.

"Nice! Take that, you jerk-ass!" Harena Haumea hollered.

"Don't celebrate too soon. That'll probably slow him down by a minuscule few seconds. We better make good of this time!" Max directed the Kuipers toward Jirenmon. "Let's give Tai a hand, Kuipers!"

"Lead the way," Aduro Varuna said.

Quickly piecing himself back together, Zeed X rose and popped his neck.

"Ok, gotta give those OC Senshi credit. They got me good and that manly Varuna did a number on me," Zeed X chuckled. "Still, just a small setback. I'm coming right back, kids!"

(Cue Dragon Ball Z - Super Saiyan God Vegeta Theme (The Enigma TNG))

"Sorry, but your fight's with us, Zeed X," a deep, gruff voice belonging to Beerusmon interjected.

The anomalous one looked over behind him. He saw Beerusmon and Champamon.

A smirk adorned Zeed X's face. "Well, hello, Lords Beerusmon and Champamon. The Destroyers of Digiverses 7 and 6. What can I help you with?"

Beerusmon rebuked. "Well, you can die for one."

Champamon added. "And you've been quite the troublesome jerk messing with the Nexus the way you've been doing!"

Shrugging, Zeed X showed little concern. "Look, someone had to bring a little balance to the Nexus. Chaos was absent at the time. So, I fulfilled the role of being Cosmos's opposite. Besides, aren't I no different from you Destroyers? Ask yourselves that."

Champamon blinked, feeling stumped. "Erm, well… he might have a point, brother."

Beerusmon scowled. "You don't make those decisions, Zeed X. Normally I let you slide, but lately your reactions have gotten on my last nerve." He powered up as a purple aura enveloped him. "Let's go!"

With that, Beerusmon and Champamon propelled toward Zeed X. The God Brothers of Destruction unleashed a flurry of punches on Zeed X. Zeed X kept up pace with the two brothers and shot up high into the air. Champamon screamed with fury and blasted Zeed X with a powerful Kiai-like attack. Zeed X crossed his arms, absorbing Champamon's blast. Beerusmon came from the right and threw a punch at Zeed X. Zeed X parried Beerusmon's blow and backhanded the cat's other hand. Zeed X and Beerusmon went straight into fisticuffs.

"Hey, don't hog the anomalous entity to yourself, brother!" Champamon shouted, flying straight into the scuffle. He conjured an energy sphere made of destruction power and tossed it at Zeed X.

The anomalous being teleported, letting the ball collide with Beerusmon instead.

"Ow! Hey, watch where you're aiming, you idiot!" Beerusmon chastised his more rotund sibling.

"You should've dodged that, dummy!" Champamon snapped.

Chuckling, Zeed X humored them. "Gentlemen, are you sure now's the time for sibling squabbles? Not that I mind or care. It's entertaining." He glanced behind him, noticing Whismon and Vadosmon. "And I'll bet you're enjoying this as much as I, angels? By the way, how's that father of yours? The Grand Priest?"

Whismon frowned. "You needn't worry about him. Your concern should be with Lords Beerusmon and Champamon."

Popping his neck, Zeed X sighed. "I sure hope so. I'm eager to see Gods of Destruction fight at their full strength." He watched the brothers' auras flare intensely as their powers caused the skies to darken and the earth to quake. He, too, put on a fierce and serious look.

The brothers launched themselves at Zeed X. As Zeed X anticipated a predictable front assault, the duo swerved around him. Zeed X quickly turned only to get clobbered from behind. Beerusmon then grabbed Zeed X and channeled destruction energy.

"I've got you now! Now cease! Hakai!" Beerusmon announced, preparing to delete Zeed X.

Suddenly, Zeed X's body broke down and wisped into smoke. He floated into the air and reformed. Champamon shot up and attacked Zeed X with heavy fists. While Champamon kept Zeed X busy, Beerusmon went for the kill and karate chopped Zeed X in half. Zeed X was split in two through the waist. Beerusmon then grabbed Zeed X's upper body.

"Champamon, the other half!" Beerusmon shouted.

Taking heed of this, Champamon snatched Zeed X's lower half.

"HAKAI!"

The brothers quickly deleted both halves of Zeed X. In one fell swoop, the God Brothers of Destruction cleansed the anomalous being seemingly out of existence.

"Heheh, not so almighty now, are ya, jerkwad!" The rotund cat boasted, dusting his hands off. "Still, this just shows our mortal fighters depended on us to win their battle."

Narrowing his eyes, Beerusmon gritted. "No."

"What, brother? We killed the bugger!"

"He's not dead. In fact…" Beerusmon turned around as a time-space door opened up, revealing Zeed X good as new.

"That was a close one, but good thing my stunt double was there to take that Hakai," Zeed X said. "Now, where were we?"

"STUNT DOUBLE?!" Champamon gaped, completely stupefied by the villain's double cross. "Brother, we've been had!"

Beerusmon grunted. "Slow on the uptake as always, Champamon." He flew at Zeed X, who shot up high into the air and past the clouds.

The God Brothers of Destruction propelled themselves past the stratosphere to face off against Zeed X. The brothers vanished into streams of purple light that flew around and collided with Zeed X. Zeed X quickly parried the brothers' faster-than-light attacks. The anomalous one zipped around the planet several times, letting the brothers trail behind him. They headed straight for Planet Plant, throwing a volley of energy blasts to try to outdo the other. Zeed X batted away the cat brothers' blasts. Beerusmon and Champamon flew around chasing Zeed X, who dropped back into Tokyo. He looked up as the brothers dive-bombed covered in purple auras. They started resembling purple-like comets and quickly collided head-on with Zeed X.

Boom!

An earth-shattering eruption resulted from their fall. The combined power of the Brothers of Destruction literally split the Earth in two, causing everyone fighting in Tokyo to feel the after effects of the impact.

As the debris smoke cleared, Beerusmon and Champamon had Zeed X pinned to the ground with their fists. The brothers pushed enough force to keep Zeed X down. Then, Zeed X quickly rebounded and shot up like a comet, sending the destruction brothers flying out. Beerusmon raised both hands, forming his sun-like sphere of destructive energies known, which he used against Omega X before. He tossed his Beerusmon's Judgment attack at Zeed X. Champamon did the same, aptly called his own Champamon's Judgment, and threw it at the anomalous being.

Zeed responded well to the brothers' finishing attacks and conjured Yami Zeed X Reflector. He redirected and dropped both planetary destructive blasts into…

...right in the middle of the Zeed battle area. Zeed, Omega X (DF-616 Prime), Metalla X (DF-616 Prime), Saitou, Neo-Queen Serenity, Houou Mars, and Ultimate Madoka watched the two sun-like spheres heading their way.

"Where the hell did these two enormous energies come from?!" Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) blanched at the size of the spheres.

"Those must be from those two purple cat gods! Beerusmon and Champamon, I think?!" Omega X (DF-616 Prime) gritted. "Matt, Saitou, we've gotta divert them away! If those land, we're finished! They've got enough power to wipe out this planet!"

Houou Mars interjected. "Not if the Houou and I have anything to say about it!" She raised her hands and summoned forth her Houou cloak. She closed her eyes and telepathically linked with the cosmic bird within her.

We know what to do, right, Houou?! Houou Mars telepathically reached the cosmic phoenix.

"I can confirm this is Zeed X's doing. There's no way those two cats are this careless. Zeed X likely redirected their attacks to our side!" The Houou screamed with unbridled fury.

Neo-Queen Serenity beckoned Ultimate Madoka. "We know what to do!"

"Yeah!" Ultimate Madoka replied.

Roaring mad, Zeed prepared to intercept the three magical divine girls, but Omega X (DF-616 Prime), Metalla X (DF-616 Prime), and Saitou fired blasts his way. Zeed took the blasts with moderate damage and fell back.

"Let's remove these out of our way!" Neo-Queen Serenity cast her Silver Crystal powers toward the destructive spheres.

Ultimate Madoka released a stream of pink light that cleansed and removed Champamon's sphere. Houou Mars's cosmic flares and the Silver Crystal's light sent Beerusmon's blast toward Zeed instead. Zeed gaped in horror as Beerusmon's attack collided head-on with him.

Boom!

Although he put up enough of a barrier to protect him, the sheer destructive force from Beerusmon's attack critically damaged Zeed and sent him crashing to the ground.

Upon arriving at the location, the Inner Sailor Senshi (YYGDM-01) and the Spirit Detectives (YYGDM-01) witnessed their friends striking down Zeed.

"Check it out! They finally took down that other Zeed!" Tonitrus Jupiter pointed out.

"Yeah, way to go, Sailor Moon, Sailor Mars, and Madoka!" Princess Serenity III cheered them.

"But those immense energies didn't just come from them," Aquarius Mercury noted. "Where did they come from?"

Amare Venus added. "Who cares? They've slain that beast pretty much!"

"Sailor Moon!" King Endymion called out to his wife.

"Look, our friends are here!" Ultimate Madoka noticed the Senshi (YYGDM-01) and Spirit Detectives (YYGDM-01).

"Good job taking that big bastard down!" Yusuke yelled out. "Likewise, thanks to other world Tai, or should I be calling him GT Omega X?"

Shaka shook her head. "Oh, Yusuke…"

"Hey, something's happening to the other Zeed! Look!" Kuwabara pointed toward Zeed's body seemingly melting and being absorbed into the ground.

With every ounce of his power, Zeed managed to slip through the cracks and escaped, masking his presence from the YYGDM-01 heroes and DF-616 Prime trio.

"The hell! He's gone!" Omega X (DF-616 Prime) tried to sense his Ki without much success. "He's completely off my radar now!"

Saitou frowned. "This is a problem. We know he isn't dead. He's very likely retreating until he can recover his strength and reconvene with Zeed X."

"I say we head over to where they're fighting Zeed X and those other two powers we sensed earlier," Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) suggested to his colleagues.

"Hey, you're coming, too, right?" Omega X (DF-616 Prime) asked the YYGDM-01 heroes and Madoka.

"Of course we are," Neo-Queen Serenity earnestly replied.

"We need to hurry then," Houou Mars said.

"Guys, follow us!" The future queen instructed the Senshi and Spirit Detectives.

xxxxx

"Oh, that went well," Zeed X shrugged. "I'll get them next time. Hey, why don't we relocate? Maybe see how your boys are handling my Grey?"

With that, Zeed X slipped through a time-space portal and relocated to the Jirenmon battle location.

"C'mon, brother! That sneaky bastard is really asking for it now!" Champamon yelled.

"I'd advise extreme caution, Lord Champamon," Vadosmon warned.

"Likewise, Lord Beerusmon," Whismon said.

"No matter. We need to check in with Taichi and his friends," Beerusmon stated.

xxxxx

Tempus Pluto VM, Devil Homura, CyberTitaniamon, Kara/SandrockGundamon, and David/HeavyArmsGundamon utilized enough teamwork to wear down Toppomon. Once the Outer Sailor Senshi (YYGDM-01), Yugi Muto, Susanoomon, and Shoutmon X7F SM arrived, they unleashed enough force to knock Toppomon out temporarily.

"Thank you, everyone. Now we can check back with everyone else," Tempus Pluto VM turned toward the Jirenmon battle area. Hina, I hope you're ok over there!

Elsewhere, Celesta X HM and WarAngemon combed through the ruins of Tokyo to search for Burizalor. The tyrant had slipped into hiding following ChaosNova X EM's demise.

"He has to be here somewhere, Kari!"

"We have to keep looking, TK. He can't be left alone with his own devices."

As the Ascendants sensed several weakened powers, they rushed over to find several bodies. To their shock, it was Xander, Gallantmon (DF-616 Prime), Zordiark X, and Rosemon X.

"Oh no, guys!" WarAngemon stormed over to check on their fallen colleagues.

Celesta X HM checked over them. "They're still alive, but they're completely worn out."

"...we got ambushed," Zordiark X revealed. "Burizalor got us good and absorbed some of our energies."

"He drained your energies? I didn't think he could do that," WarAngemon was stumped by this.

"Neither did we, but it looks like he found out he could," Xander said.

"No surprise, it's like a Digimon absorbing data to make themselves stronger. Thankfully, he didn't outright kill and absorb us completely," Gallantmon (DF-616 Prime) stated.

"Where is he now?" Celesta X HM asked them.

"That way," Rosemon X pointed toward the path of ravaged building and street rubble. "He went after Sora!"

"We've got to get to her now!" The Bearer of Light exclaimed.

xxxxx

Houou X was blasted into a wall. Burizalor slowly walked toward her, chuckling. The tyrant carried with him a Black Omega X clone, which he killed in an instant and absorbed its data.

"Can you believe this whole time I could've eaten data just to boost my own power?" Burizalor said. "I could've saved the trouble of training several months before meeting Taichi again. Ah, but I think I've had my fill for now." He walked right up and smiled maniacally in Houou X's face. "I could kill you right here like I did before, but I feel so reinvigorated that I see no reason to. I have much bigger plans now. You see, I intend to see Taichi and finish where I left off."

"You don't mean to find that Prime dimension again?!"

"Yes, I'm going to be the one that erases Taichi. No one else. Not even Zeed X is going to take that glory from me!" The tyrant vowed with determination.

"SORA!" Celesta X HM and WarAngemon were heard in the distance.

Smashing his tail against the wall, Burizalor caused it to crumble behind Houou X.

"Your life is spared for now," Burizalor maniacally laughed as he flew up and headed for another vicinity closest to the Jirenmon battle.

Houou X panted hard, gasping and trying to get over the distress she endured.

"Sora! Are you ok?!" WarAngemon asked as he consoled her.

"Did Burizalor do anything to you?!" Celesta X HM asked, noticing the distress on her friend's face.

"...no… he's still going after Tai," Houou X said.

"He picked the wrong time to continue that revenge plot of his," the Bearer of Hope snorted.

"And he said he's done serving Zeed X. He's planning to beat him to killing Tai, Max, and the others."

Celesta X HM sighed. "That guy never changes." She sensed Burizalor's energy. "I have a lock on him. He's going that way!" She pointed ahead. "Let's stop him before he gets my brother!"

The remaining DigiDestined reached the center of the ongoing conflict. As they spotted Omega X and the others fighting Jirenmon; Kabuto X, Vulcan X, Zephyr X, and Shunoros X slipped behind the debris.

"Wow, that guy they're fighting is immensely strong!" Shunoros X keenly noted Jirenmon.

"Yeah, I don't think we'd make any difference here, guys," Zephyr X plainly stated.

"But, we can retrieve anyone who gets hurt and bring them over to us," Kabuto X said. "Joe, you still have the Digi-Vitamin bag?"

"Yeah, right here," Vulcan X nodded. "Luckily, we had some to feed Yolei and Cody here."

Shunoros X nodded. "They sure come in handy. Our injuries are all healed."

Zephyr X noted Sam/DeathScytheGundamon involved in the Jirenmon fight. "There's Sam, but where's Ken? I'm worried. What if…?"

Boom!

A Ki blast wiped out the hiding spot the four used. Kabuto X, Vulcan X, Zephyr X, and Shunoros X flew up avoiding the blast. The stray blast came from one of Jirenmon's attacks.

"Ok, new hiding spot now!" Zephyr X scanned for another location with a perfect obscure hiding spot.

Just then, the four saw Zeed X arriving at the battle.

"Oh crap, it's him!" Vulcan X paled.

"Take cover!" Kabuto X cried as the four hid behind the nearest debris pile.

As Zeed X landed where Jirenmon was, the anomalous one saw the opposition mostly beaten but still willing to fight. Omega X was at the center of the group glaring down Zeed X and Jirenmon.

"I'm amazed you're all still alive! I'd thought the Grey would've taken a few lives by now, but oh well, don't worry most of you are on your last legs," Zeed X eyed the remaining heroes. "I do know we'll be getting a few guests soon."

"Yeah, we're still standing, because there's no way we're not letting a psychopath like you kill us!" Omega X angrily rebuked. "If you fought similar versions of us before, then you should know that we don't give up. If you think we're giving up, then you don't know us well!"

Then, Zeed X's face changed into a yellow triangle with a single eye. He took the form of Bill Cipher of Gravity Falls. "Oh, joy! I know LOTS of things, Grunkle Stan-I mean Grunkle Tai! Darkness approaches the omniverse with my Weirdmageddon! Until then, I'll be watching you! I'LL BE WATCHING YOU!"

"What the fuck?!" Wimara freaked out at 'Bill Cipher' threatening them.

"Enough of your silly and childish mind games!" Metalla X shouted. "Find some pride and take us seriously!"

"But, I am taking you seriously. In fact…" 'Bill Cipher' changed back to Zeed X. "...think before you speak, Yamakins!" Zeed X then charged up two huge colorless spheres called Millennia Epilogue. He sent these at his opponents.

"MOVE!" Omega X yelled out, just now realizing how powerful this attack was going to be.

Boom!

A massive explosion erupted and spread over the vicinity. Omega X and Tike both used Instant Movement while grabbing as many of their allies to avoid Zeed X's devastating attack. However, the surface area they were fighting on was completely gone.

"Do we have everyone?!" Omega X called out.

"All of us Kuipers are present and accounted for!" Potio Ixion replied as she and the other Kuipers were behind Omega X.

"Thankfully your instant teleport and my speed were able to save us," Ventus Eris said.

"You're a fool if you thought that would finish me," Metalla X said.

"Yep, Sam and I are still here!" Tike/AltronGundamon said.

"We're here, too, Tai," Ultima X said as he, Sonja, and Jax were also present.

"Can't get rid of me that easily," Neo Frigg added.

"Me, too!" Wimara chimed in.

Zeed X chuckled. "Oh no, I claimed a few victims." He noticed the area where Kabuto X and the others were before. "Can't believe you completely missed Izzy, Joe, Yolei, and Cody."

"What?! They were here, too?!" Omega X was taken aback. Izzy, Joe, Yolei, and Cody are now gone?!

"Yolei and Cody are dead?!" Ultima X exclaimed. "You bastard!" He went to attack Zeed X, but Jax pulled him away. "Let me go, man!"

Jax growled. "You're not throwing your life away not while sis is still here!"

"Yeah, see I was going for you all, but I figured I take out your medic team if I couldn't kill y'all," Zeed X pointed out. "I just cut off one of your White Mages, but I know there's a couple more to take out."

"You bastard! You're going to pay for that…!" Omega X roared.

Zeed X raised a finger. "Wait for it. Sorry, did I forget to mention those blasts have an after effect?"

"An after effect?" Omega X blinked in confusion.

(End theme)

Suddenly, Ultima X felt pain shooting through his body. Everyone watched as Ultima X's body started to dissolve.

"Davis?!" Sonja gasped in horror.

"What's happening… it hurts…" Ultima X grimaced.

"What the hell did you do to him?!" Sonja snapped at Zeed X.

"Millennia Epilogue. You see, that's the name of the attack I just shot at you. It's not just some fancy name. There's a method to its madness," Zeed X said. "Epilogue means conclusion. So, Davis Motomiya is meeting his. And thus why he's being removed from the forthcoming endgame. Some are not going to live to see it."

"Davis, please, don't go!" Sonja reached for Ultima X, whose hand dissolved.

"Don't let him win, guys…!" Ultima X yelled as he dissolved completely and ceased.

"Damn, he got me, too…!" Sam/DeathScytheGundamon yelled out as he dissolved.

"Sam!" Tike cried out.

"Zeed X! Bring them back! All of them, including my friends!" Omega X demanded.

"Sorry, no can do… unless by some miracle you can kill me, and that's less than once in a million chance. Gotta weed out the excess."

After Sam/DeathSyctheGundamon was erased, the after effects of the Millennia Epilogue claimed more victims: Utopia, OmegaShoutmon, and the rest of Ken's Digimon army except CyberTitaniamon.

"Looks like the author's contributor just wrote these names on Google Docs like the Death Note." Zeed X smiled, intending to drive Kensuke's anger to new levels.

Having witnessed his other Digimon and Duel Monster partners erased, ZarcDramon X bellowed angrily and prepared to attack Zeed X.

"Ken! Please, don't! I know it's terrible seeing your partners being killed, but attacking Zeed X blindly won't get that done!" Glacialis Sedna openly pleaded to ZarcDramon X.

"That's right, uncle Ken! We need you to be better again!" ArcticOphanimon X cried, hugging ZarcDramon X's face.

"Athena…!" Meryl cried as she and Mastemon both doubled over as their bodies started to dissolve.

"Meryl!" ArcticOphanimon X witnessed her friend dissolving before her eyes.

Seeing Meryl being erased, Tike shouted to her. "No! Meryl!"

"No, this is horrible!" Gao Pluto gasped, covering her mouth to try to hold in her shock.

"Athena… Hina… Tike… don't give up… especially not you, Athena… it's good to see you again… I know you can bring back your uncle Ken… and Tike… I..." Meryl smiled as she ceased.

"NO!" Tike screamed out of AltronGundamon.

"MERYL!" ArcticOphanimon X cried as tears fell from her eyes and plopped on ZarcDramon X's face.

"Athena…" A distorted voice akin to Kensuke's came out of the beast's mouth.

As she teared up as well, Glacialis Sedna watched as a beacon of white light erupted from her chest. The Kuipers instinctively turned and noticed this.

"Sedna," the Kuipers muttered. Then, their astrological symbols flared on their foreheads. The glowing beams from their symbols converged and struck Glacialis Sedna.

As she became bathed in the multi-colored beams of light, Glacialis Sedna folded both arms over herself and jerked her head up. The Sedna symbol intensely flared from her forehead and illuminated the area. The Kuiper leader's body then became enveloped in a white veil of light.

What's happening…? I feel like I'm getting stronger… Ken, is this the Light Legacy that's been in me? Glacialis Sedna telepathically reached Kensuke within ZarcDramon X. She opened her eyes and smiled. You want me to heal you? Will it be enough?

There was no response, but Glacialis Sedna instinctively knew what to do.

I see. And you want Athena to help? Right, she's inherited the Light Legacy, too. Sedna turned to ArcticOphanimon X. "Sweetie, take my hand."

Staring at her future mother's hand, ArcticOphanimon X nodded and grabbed it. She, too, became enveloped in the white light.

"Karin, Athena… be careful," Angemon X advised his loved ones.

"Think that'll be enough?" Rosa Quaoar asked the other Kuipers.

"Just let them do what they need to," Aduro Varuna replied.

Glacialis Sedna and ArcticOphanimon X floated around ZarcDramon X. They placed their palms against ZarcDramon X's face. The white light leaking out from their hands engulfed the dragon beast. ZarcDramon X roared in pain as the light started melting and breaking off its armored exterior. Streams of white light quickly filled ZarcDramon X and started purifying it. ZarcDramon X's roars ceased as white light came out of its mouth and eyes.

"Ken! Christina! We're not giving up on you two!" Glacialis Sedna vowed. "We love you two too much to lose you for good!"

"We want you to come back to us!" ArcticOphanimon X cried out. "So, we can be a family again!"

(Cue Crossfade - Everything's wrong)

As more white light leaked out of its massive frame, ZarcDramon X shuddered and collapsed. Large cracks formed all over ZarcDramon X. Once more cracks formed, pieces of the beast fell. Then, a ball of white light popped out revealing a humanoid figure. It was Kensuke. At the same time, Platinum Orcus fell from the beast's chest. Kensuke awoke and transformed into Dramon X. He flew down and caught Platinum Orcus, who slowly awoke.

"It's working!" Glacialis Sedna became elated to see her brother and friend again.

"Uncle Ken! Aunt Christina!" ArcticOphanimon X called to them.

"Way to go, you two! We have them back!" Angemon X raised a fist.

Omega X smiled at this development. "Well done."

Zeed X scoffed. "Oh right, how did I forget about that annoying Light Legacy. I should've removed Sailor Sedna and the child when I had the chance."

Dramon X landed with Platinum Orcus in his arms.

"Ken…?" Platinum Orcus came to her senses. "That really happened to us?"

Dramon X said nothing as he set her down.

"KEN!" Glacialis Sedna and ArcticOphanimon X cried out, flying over to him.

"I knew you two could do it. Athena, your voice was what finally reached me," Dramon X hugged them both.

"I thought we'd lose you forever, uncle Ken."

"Not as long as you and your mother here are around to knock some sense into me," Dramon X patted ArcticOphanimon X's head. "By the way, congrats on the new power-up, little one."

"Thanks, I trained hard with someone in that Other World! I trained so I can save you and aunt Christina! I love you both so much!"

Hearing this, Platinum Orcus's lips curved down into a frown. Glacialis Sedna knelt down and offered a hand to Platinum Orcus.

"Welcome back, Christina," Glacialis Sedna said. She just noticed her friend's princess gown. "Hey, is this your princess form? The dress looks very pretty on you!"

Scowling, Platinum Orcus slapped away Sedna's hand. She stood and intently glared at Zeed X seemingly ignoring her friend.

"Christina…?" Glacialis Sedna was taken aback by her friend's action.

"Save the pleasantries for later. We've got an asshole to take down!" Platinum Orcus said, pointing toward Zeed X. "Ken, if you're ready to fight, then let's not hesitate anymore!"

"She's right, guys. If we want our peaceful family time again, this guy has to go," Dramon X said. "By the way, Christina… watch your language around kids." He said reminding Platinum Orcus of ArcticOphanimon X and Gao Pluto's presence.

Platinum Orcus frowned. "Right…"

Dramon X fiercely glared at Zeed X. "YOU! GUESS WHO'S BACK AND READY TO SERVE YOU HARD!"

Zeed X gritted. "And you're back to annoy…"

Dramon X powered up and invoked his Ascendant God power. The divine energies radiating from him struck Zeed X and Jirenmon. Zeed X tensed up as he felt the rush of Dramon X's energy radiating off him. Jirenmon quickly turned toward Dramon X and seemingly became drawn to his divine aura.

"I also gotta say you brought one hell of a right hand henchman," Dramon X scanned Jirenmon. "Not bad. You took Slade's warning to heart. Shows me you're not as infallible as you think." He clenched his fists. "Good, now I can beat you both and avenge my partners! You're going to pay for each and every one of them!"

"Jirenmon, I want you to attack him!" Zeed X beckoned the Digital Pride Trooper to battle him.

Shifting over to Dramon X, Jirenmon launched toward the Accel Ascendant. Dramon X, now a fully-powered Ascendant God, flew head-on and clashed with Jirenmon. Half expecting Dramon X to attack him linearly, Dramon X surprised him by swerving around and swiftly punching him between the legs. Jirenmon clenched his teeth as he absorbed the full impact of Dramon X's crotch punch. Dramon X seized Jirenmon's face and attempted to slam him into the nearest building, but Jirenmon recovered quickly and plunged an energy ball into his stomach. Jirenmon blasted Dramon X away.

"KEN!" Glacialis Sedna and ArcticOphanimon X cried out.

Omega X quickly intervened and used Instant Movement to catch Dramon X.

"Hey, welcome back, Kensuke."

"I feel bad for what he made me do," Dramon X sighed. "All those dimensions he made me destroy."

"It'll take a while, but I'm sure we can repair all that Zeed X has destroyed," Omega X reassured him.

Zeed X chuckled. "It won't be that easy. Even if by some miracle you beat me, the damage I've caused to the Nexus will be beyond repair." He shook his head and gave a poisonous taunt towards Platinum Orcus. He morphed his face and body to Miku Hatsune, the same character that Orcus first met when Paradais sent her to the Vocaloid dimension. "Tehehehe. Why don't you hit me with your ballerina black holes of yours, Chris-chan? Oh wait, you're angry that I mindfucked you. No, furious at the whole omniverse turning against you in general, and making you gain a cynical view and ferocity like Revy from Black Lagoon. Show me… SHOW ME YOUR ANGER FULL OUT WITH BOLD CAPITALIZED ITALICS ENOUGH TO SURPASS HELA'S HELLSPAWN!"

Having seen and heard enough, a black aura enveloped Platinum Orcus. As if Zeed X's taunts weren't enough, he did it while assuming the form of her Vocaloid inspiration. She bit her bottom lip hard enough to make it bleed. Her eyes burned with gray light.

"YOU WANT ME AT MY MOST PISSED OFF?! BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR, YOU COCKSUCKING SHITHEAD!" Platinum Orcus screamed with fury, which was uncharacteristic of her, but being reduced to a damsel again and forced to be Zeed X's plaything pushed her far.

"CHRISTINA!" Glacialis Sedna, ArcticOphanimon X, and the other Kuipers cried out to her.

"STOP, CHRISTINA!" Dramon X called to her.

"I'M GOING TO FUCK YOUR SHIT UP!" Platinum Orcus flew at Zeed X, conjuring black holes around him.

"And to think you're supposed to be the happy-go-lucky Sailor Moon OC!" Zeed X, still in Miku form, exclaimed, casually wiped out Orcus's black holes.

Platinum Orcus shot up at Zeed X and blasted him with a dark beam. Zeed X batted away her beam. As he turned, Platinum Orcus grabbed 'her' by the pigtails and tossed 'Miku' around, sending the vocaloid crashing into a wall.

'Miku' giggled evilly, taunting the Australian idol. "Ooohh, yes! Hit me baby one more time!"

"SHUT UP!" Platinum Orcus fired a darkness beam at 'Miku', who summoned Yami Zeed X Reflector to send Orcus's attack elsewhere. "JUST DIE ALREADY, ASSHOLE!"

'Miku' changed back to Zeed X. "All the fans across the multiverse are turning against you, even that blue jay and his raccoon friend don't want to hang out with you anymore. No one wants to see your fan-made concerts anymore!" Zeed X further insulted Platinum Orcus.

This struck yet another nerve in the Australian woman. She conjured a larger white hole, which would have enough power to swallow up and destroy the entire DF-616 Prime dimension.

"A white hole?!" Potio Ixion gasped in horror.

"Is that any worse than a black hole?" Harena Haumea asked in confusion.

"UM YEAH!" Potio Ixion cried out.

"Somebody's gotta knock some sense into that woman!" Metalla X yelled out.

"Ken, we gotta do something!" Omega X said.

"Oh shit! Christina's anger officially makes her the strongest Kuiper OC enough to surpass Sedna!" Zeed X sardonically exclaimed.

Having seen enough, Glacialis Sedna shot up toward Platinum Orcus and grabbed her arms.

"Let go…" Platinum Orcus muttered darkly.

"Christina, don't let him rile you up! This is exactly what he wants! He wants you to get pissed and wipe us all out!"

Platinum Orcus continued to expand her white hole.

"CHRISTINA!"

"BUTT OUT, BITCH! THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU!"

As Glacialis Sedna gripped Platinum Orcus's arm, she released some of her newly-tapped light powers to neutralize her friend's white hole. Platinum Orcus screamed with anger and jerked her arm away. The white hole was still in place. Glacialis Sedna turned her light powers to the white hole and closed it.

(End theme)

"DON'T…!" Platinum Orcus screamed, watching her white hole vanish. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!"

Whap!

Glacialis Sedna slapped Platinum Orcus. Rubbing her red cheek, the Australian idol's face contorted with anger.

"It's over, Orcus! You're safe with us again! Don't try to beat Zeed X on your own! We're in this together!" Glacialis Sedna lectured her. She then grabbed Platinum Orcus's hands and teared up. "Kuiper Senshi fight and die together."

Before Platinum Orcus could retort, Jirenmon powered up again.

"Hmm, seems Jirenmon is eager for action. Can't keep the big man waiting," Zeed X chortled.

"Jirenmon, your fight is with us!" Omega X interjected.

Omega X and Dramon X headed off Jirenmon. Jirenmon was able to keep up, unloading a barrage of thousands of punches at the Ascendant duo. Omega X summoned his Dramon Breaker sword and slammed it over Jirenmon. The Digital Pride Trooper punched the sword and shattered it into pieces with brute force. As Jirenmon reached for him, Omega X used Instant Movement to escape. This enabled Dramon X to dive into Jirenmon.

"Look out, Ken!" Omega X called to him.

Then, as Jirenmon's fist closed on Dramon X's face, the Accel Ascendant vanished out of thin air. Jirenmon stopped and looked over his back. Dramon X stood still behind him. A white aura flared over Dramon X's frame.

Upon seeing this white light radiating off Dramon X, Zeed X gasped. "...no, that's not Ascendant God power." He recalled his previous encounter with Dramon X in the Nexus.

Dramon X spun around and punched Jirenmon's stomach. The Grey felt pain shooting throughout his body from the single gut shot. The force behind Dramon X's punch knocked Jirenmon back. Jirenmon assessed the unsettling vibe coming from Dramon X's white aura.

"He's tapping into Ascenda-" Zeed X muttered.

Omega X noticed Zeed X's unnerved demeanor. He decided to take advantage and launched himself at the anomalous being. He used Instant Movement to get in front of Zeed X. Zeed X saw this coming and casually blocked Omega X's punch.

The anomalous being sighed. "What do you think you're hoping to gain from this, Taichi? This is amateurish, even for you."

"What was that look for? You seemed worried about something. Something to do with Kensuke? Or maybe it has something to do with me?" Omega X attempted to pry the truth behind Kensuke's unique aura. "You look worried. I also noticed you were taken aback when I attacked you. Why does the appearance of a white aura got you worked up? He's just turning into Ascendant God form."

"You misunderstand. You mean, you didn't dodge when you briefly dodged my attacks?"

"What are you talking about?" Omega X blinked in confusion.

Zeed X growled as he pushed Omega X back. "That's nothing you need to be made privy of, Taichi."

"I didn't think you'd be afraid of something," Omega X prodded. "What is it you're afraid of? You were acting high, mighty, and cracking jokes at our expense. Why lose that smile? You know something?!" He threw a punch at Zeed X, who teleported behind him. "Looks like absorbing your Ryo Akiyama gave you human flaws and insecurities. By taking in human qualities, not only did you take the strengths but also the weaknesses of one. By showing any hint of fear, it shows you're becoming human. And I bet you bleed like one, too!" He threw a punch, which Zeed X easily dodged.

However, Omega X's knuckle slid off Zeed X's cheek and inflicted a tiny cut on him. Zeed X saw a small cut with blackish blood dripping out.

"There. I'm right. If can you bleed, you can die," Omega X smirked, exposing a weakness in the anomalous being.

Wham!

Zeed X backhanded Omega X and hammered him to the ground.

Just then, Omega X (DF-616 Prime) arrived and caught Omega X.

"The other Taichi," Zeed X scoffed. The small wound on his cheek closed up and healed.

"Hey, thanks, man," Omega X said.

Omega X (DF-616 Prime) set his counterpart down. "So, we're down to the select few. We came here because the other Zeed escaped."

Just then, Metalla X (DF-616 Prime), Saitou, the Inner Sailor Senshi (YYGDM-01), King Endymion, the Spirit Detectives (YYGDM-01), and Ultimate Madoka arrived. So, too, did Tempus Pluto VM, Yugi Muto, Shoutmon X7F SM, SuperSusanoomon, the other Outer Sailor Senshi (YYGDM-01), Devil Homura, David/HeavyArmsGundamon, Kara/SandrockGundamon, and CyberTitaniamon.

Guilkatomon, Renrukimon, Terryamon, and Inumuramon arrived, too. So did Masaru & ShineGreymon, Thomas & MirageGaogamon, and Yoshino & Rosemon. Celesta X HM, WarAngemon, Houou X, Pikkan, and BW arrived in a timely fashion.

"Guess who's here?!" Guilkatomon called out.

"We're all here!" Tempus Pluto VM announced.

"Yeah, and we've beaten all your cronies, Zeed X!" Ultimate Madoka said.

"Kensuke's ok again! Thank goodness!" CyberTitaniamon noticed Dramon X fighting off Jirenmon. "But, where are OmegaShoutmon, Utopia, and the others?"

"They're gone, Titaniamon!" ArcticOphanimon X answered the Digi-Amazon. "The mean man made them vanish!"

"What?!" CyberTitaniamon glared scornfully at Zeed X. "You monster! How could you?! Those were my friends you murdered!"

"Keke and Sam are gone, too!" Tike revealed to David and Kara. "This jerkass killed them!"

"No, not Keke…" Kara gasped.

"And Sam…" David cried.

"We're not letting their deaths be in vain! We can beat Zeed X for good!" Max exclaimed.

"Don't give the kiddos false hope, Max Kamiya," Zeed X chortled as he conjured his Millennia Epilogue once again.

"Shit, not again…!" Omega X exclaimed. There's no way even me, Tike, and Kensuke together can teleport everyone…!

Too late! Zeed X sneaked a grin as he cast his finishing attack without so much of an explosion.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super - A Secret Plan with Ones Life on the Line)

As Millennia Epilogue came into effect, more victims were claimed and erased: Houou X, Pikkan, BW, Sonja, Kara & SandrockGundamon, Kuwabara, Shaka, All the Legendary Warriors except Takuya and Kouji, King Endymion, Princess Serenity III, Aquarius Mercury, Caelum Uranus, Exitium Saturn, Yoshino & Rosemon, Kiriha, and Nene.

Elsewhere, the Duelists recovered from their battle with Kain.

"A'right guys! Let's go and give Yug the help he'll need!" Joey declared.

"Ugh, my body hurts… I feel so light-headed…" Mai groaned as she collapsed.

"Yo, Mai! What's wrong?"

"Joey, look!" Tea pointed to Mai's body dissolving.

"MAI!" Joey yelled out fearfully as he caught his girlfriend, who dissolved into dust.

"Jo-seph…." Mai reached for him, but her hand evaporated before she can even touch her boyfriend.

After Mai dissolved, Tristan, Tea, and Duke, too, dissolved as they ceased.

"TRISTAN! TEA!" Joey cried out until he saw the surviving Duelists (DF-616 Prime) dissolve into dust, leaving him and Lyn all alone.

Staying beside Kaiba's body, Lyn fell into a state of shock.

"Yug… what the hell is going on…?" Joey muttered. "What the hell did this to them?"

xxxx

Burizalor slipped past numerous ravaged buildings. He paused as he noticed numerous DF-616 Prime heroes dissolved into dust.

"Hmmm?" Burizalor hid behind a wall. He poked his head out to see the V-Tamers (DVT-98-AU) in shock over their friend Rei Saiba dissolve.

"SIS!" Neo (DVT-98-AU) cried out in anguish.

Well, this is quite an interesting development. Zeed X, this must be your doing. Whatever power it is, I must have it! Burizalor thought. He quickly heard some noise behind him. Startled, he took a fighting stance.

It was Botamomon and Magettamon. Both Digiverse 6 warriors collapsed as they dissolved to dust. Their dust remains fluttered past the digital tyrant.

"Weeding out the excessive numbers and cutting the heroes to the bare minimum? Well played, Zeed X," Burizalor smirked coyly. "The fact I'm still alive must mean I'm destined to see the endgame play out. Just wait until I snatch victory from your grasp when you least expect it!" He laughed maniacally and flew off toward the center of the conflict.

xxxxx

The sudden losses weighed down heavily on the surviving heroes. Neo-Queen Serenity fell into tears seeing her husband, future daughter, and the select few Sailor Senshi wiped out. Likewise, Jax was dismayed with the loss of his twin sister. Tike witnessed his sister's demise. Omega X was forced to watch the woman he was set to marry erased before his eyes: Sora/Houou X. Max fell into grief seeing his mother, Sora, die. Inumuramon became saddened with his sister, Yui/Shaka, being erased. With the loss of the other Legendary Warriors, SuperSusanoomon regressed to Susanoomon. Neo Frigg sensed Kouichi's presence cease, causing her to grieve for her boyfriend's death.

Zeed X allowed the heroes time to grieve. "...ok, I think that's enough crying. Look at it this way. The ones who are still alive now can witness the endgame to my Zero Dawn."

Bam!

Zeed X barely managed to catch the flaming fist from Omega X, whose face contorted with anger. Before he can respond with an attack, Omega X (DF-616 Prime) decked him with a right hand. Zeed X quickly parried the punches from the Omega X duo.

"Whoa, hold your horses, you two! I wasn't finish-!"

"YOU TOOK SORA, YOU BASTARD!" Omega X bellowed, his voice nearly cracking as the image of his fiancée turning to dust played out repeatedly in his mind. He and Omega X (Prime) double teamed, unleashing punches on Zeed X.

"So, I took your lady and your soon-to-be-born kid, big whoop! You still got the big Max…!"

Bam!

Zeed X blocked Omega X's punch with the crossing of his arms.

"DON'T EVEN SAY THEIR NAMES!" Omega X roared with fury.

Omega X fired off a quick Super Tsunami Wave and Omega X (DF-616 Prime) launched a 100X Terra Beam. Both the bluish and reddish energy waves converged into a bigger colorful beam that collided with Zeed X and sent him flying back. The Omega X duo focused hard on their attacks, pushing the anomalous one through a wall. Zeed X teleported out of the way, letting the Omega X duo's blasts shoot far into the distance.

Witnessing the deaths of a good chunk of the heroes and Omega X going off on Zeed X, Dramon X exploded with anger. His white aura flared in conjunction with his high emotions. He launched himself into Jirenmon and knocked him back.

Metalla X gaped in aghast Dramon X seemingly hitting a new plateau of power. "What the hell…?!" Has he tapped into some new Ascendant God power?! This can't be! "No… No way you're going to show me up! You're not the only one who has someone to fight for! This one's for Keke, you bastard!" He shot up into Zeed X and attacked him.

"Leave me some room!" Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) joined in as he and Metalla X double teamed on Zeed X.

"Hey, wait your turn!" Zeed X parried their blows.

Max/Gundamon GM phased behind Zeed X. "How about not?!" He bashed the anomalous one with an overhead smash and followed up with a big stomp to his back. "THIS ONE'S FOR SORA AND KEKE!"

Boom!

Zeed X was sent crashing to the ground where the other heroes surrounded and converged their attacks on him. He fought through Celesta X HM, WarAngemon, Tike/AltronGundamon, David/HeavyArmsGundamon, Jax, Saitou, Ultimate Madoka, Devil Homura, the Advanced Beast Tamers, the remaining Sailor Senshi, Yusuke, Hiei, Yugi & his Dark Magician duo, Neo Frigg, Masaru & ShineGreymon BM, Susanoomon, CyberTitaniamon, Shoutmon X7F SM, and among others.

"Y'all think you can hit me?!" Zeed X taunted the heroes. He dodged Celesta X HM and hopped over WarAngemon. He was instinctively dodging everyone else's attacks as if reading their minds while actively maneuvering around them.

Susanoomon attempted to stomp Zeed X under his foot. Zeed X rolled away and shot up, blasting the giant down. Shoutmon X7F SM charged and tried running his sword into Zeed X. However, Zeed X instantly grew to Shoutmon X7F SM's exact size and knocked the sword from the Xros Fused warrior's hand. He shot up and booted Shoutmon X7 SM, knocking him over.

"Heheh, about time you arrive, previous me," Zeed X felt the ground rattle beneath him.

Suddenly, a pillar of dark light shot out of the ground. Out from the ground came Zeed. Zeed floated into the air and hung above his opposition.

"He waited for this moment to pop out and surprise us," Ultimate Madoka said.

"Yes, and less work for me!" Zeed X was relieved. "How about you take over for me?"

"Of course, I'll obliterate them!" Zeed bellowed, opening his mouth as a red sphere formed and grew into half his size. As he prepared to unleash his Apocalypse Wave, Neo-Queen Serenity and Ultimate Madoka made a stand against him.

"We can counter this, Madoka."

"Yeah!"

When Zeed finally released his Apocalypse Wave, the future queen and the goddess cast beams of white light. Neo-Queen Serenity invoked the energies from her Silver Crystal. Ultimate Madoka released her divine powers. The beams collided and pushed back against Zeed's apocalyptic sphere of destruction.

Omega X (DF-616 Prime) became mesmerized by the ladies' stand against Zeed. "Their powers are more than enough to push back the Dark God's power?! My team and I had to form Galactic X to even stand a chance!"

Both Neo-Queen Serenity and Ultimate Madoka yelled out passionately as they exerted their powers to crush and destroy Zeed's ultimate attack. Zeed was overwhelmed with shock and denial that his ultimate attack was stopped by two individuals.

(End theme)

Shaking his head, Zeed X thought. Why is this even a shock? My previous incarnation's power is not what it used to be. I've taken the bulk of his power.

Devil Homura assessed Zeed's power. "This just shows us this monster doesn't have unlimited strength. He can be beaten with effort on our side."

"If that's the case, let's take him down!" Guilkatomon declared, leading his three Beast Tamer colleagues against Zeed.

(Cue G-Gundam - A Clear Mind - Burning Palm)

Most of the other heroes stormed Zeed and attacked him with all sides. There even came a point where Ultimate Madoka and Devil Homura conjured divine circles; Ultimate Madoka summoned heavenly circles that unleashed white beams into Zeed. Devil Homura produced seven circles that formed black and purple variations of Lucifer's Dragon of Revelation heads. These heads unleashed purple beams that collided with and damaged Zeed's body.

With his guard down, Zeed X was clocked in the back. Omega X used Instant Movement to get one over the anomalous villain and take him down. Metalla X flew around Zeed X and punched him hard in the gut.

Omega X (DF-616 Prime) and Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) collided with Zeed X. Both kicked the anomalous one far back.

Dramon X and Jirenmon headbutted one another repeatedly. Then, Dramon X blew him back with a Ryuken Wave and set his sights on Zeed X. He quickly propelled toward Zeed X and punched him so hard he ripped a hole through his gut. The next thing Zeed X saw was Dramon X's enraged face.

Before Zeed X could even mouth off a witty remark, Dramon X clobbered him with a right hand. He then unloaded a barrage of punches on Zeed X and nailed him with a punch that sent him flying back.

Upon arrival, Beerusmon, Whismon, Champamon, and Vadosmon witnessed the three Ascendants and the Digital Fused duo take down Zeed X with successive attacks.

"My, they're doing rather well," Whismon observed.

"But, you know as well as I that won't be nearly enough to snuff out this sneaky bastard," Beerusmon scoffed, eyeing the debris burying Zeed X.

Boom!

Zeed X popped out of the debris with damage. However, he healed himself as his wounds went away fast.

"Those were for my Digimon partners you killed!" Dramon X clenched his right fist. "The next one is going to be for all those worlds you made me and Christina destroy." He muttered scornfully. He didn't even bother to notice Beerusmon and company currently watching the fight.

Having recovered, Jirenmon emerged and set his sights specifically on Dramon X. As Dramon X prepared to grab Zeed X, Jirenmon intercepted the Accel Ascendant's path. Jirenmon unloaded a flurry of punches on Dramon X.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Dramon X snapped as he and Jirenmon engaged in a fisticuff battle.

"Heh, I knew I could count on you, OP-mon," Zeed X chuckled, taking his mind off Dramon X. He veered over toward the Omega X duo and Metalla X duo. "You all got lucky, but I'm done playing with y'all. And some of you are just about hitting your limits."

"And we're still gonna come at you regardless," Omega X said.

"Well said, other me," Omega X (DF-616 Prime) concurred with him.

xxxxx

Meanwhile, Zeed uncoiled his giant form and beelined toward the other heroes. Susanoomon stood and seized Zeed by his tail. Zeed quickly wrapped his giant body around Susanoomon. Susanoomon quickly formed his Celestial Blade, which sliced Zeed's body in two. Susanoomon grabbed one half. Shoutmon X7F SM grabbed the other. Both tossed the halved bodies into the air. The duo combined their powers and fired a beam that destroyed the lower half. The other half, with his head still intact, fired a mouth beam that blasted down the behemoths. Susanoomon still stood and conjured Heaven's Thunder, which summoned incessant lightning that blasted Zeed.

"Stay down already!" Susanoomon snarled as he fired an attack based on every element of the Ten Legendary Warriors at Zeed.

Absorbing the attacks from Susanoomon, Zeed fired a bigger beam that struck Susanoomon.

"Take him down, guys…!" Susanoomon beckoned the others.

Heeding Legendary Warrior's call, Guilkatomon, Neo-Queen Serenity, Ultimate Madoka, Devil Homura, Houou Mars, Tempus Pluto VM, Yugi & his Dark Magician duo, Yusuke, and Neo Frigg surrounded Zeed. They fired off their ultimate attacks and devastated the entity.

In the end, Neo-Queen Serenity, Houou Mars, Ultimate Madoka, and Devil Homura's divine forces obliterated Zeed's body.

"All right, we got him!" Guilkatomon hollered.

"That eliminates him, but we still have the other one," Yugi said.

"And taking down Zeed X won't be nearly as easy as this," Devil Homura stated.

Upon seeing his previous incarnation being killed off, Zeed X flew over toward the spot where Zeed perished.

"Excuse me, gentlemen. I have something to collect," Zeed X turned his back to the Ascendant and Digital Fused warrior duos.

"No, you don't!" Omega X yelled out as he and Omega X (DF-616 Prime) went for a rear attack.

Zeed X, without so much as turning to meet them, blocked their punches and teleported out of their reach.

Returning to the main site, the anomalous figure began absorbing the remains and gained the bulk of his previous incarnation's strength.

"What a shame, you fell again, previous me. Fear not now you're part of me again," Zeed X smirked as ruby, sapphire, and emerald fractal code swirled around his right hand. He looked up as the YYGDM leaders, Houou Mars, Tempus Pluto VM, Ultimate Madoka, and Devil Homura landed to confront him. "Congratulations on beating the previous me. Although, quite honestly, he wasn't anywhere near the peak he once had." He patted his chest. "Now I've taken in the remnants of my predecessor and I am whole once again."

"Sailor Moon, we have to at least try the same strategy we used to beat that other Zeed," Guilkatomon suggested to Neo-Queen Serenity.

"I don't think that'll work. He's already seen us beat Zeed," Neo-Queen Serenity said.

Tempus Pluto VM interjected. "No, perhaps there is a way, but it's going to require sacrifice and great timing to pull this off."

"How do you mean?" asked Houou Mars.

Zeed X overheard. "Yes, do enlighten and share with the class, Sensei Setsuna Meioh."

"As if I'd tell you right here!" Tempus Pluto VM formed a barrier over herself, Neo-Queen Serenity, Guilkatomon, Yugi, Yusuke, Houou Mars, and Neo Frigg. "Sedna! Takuya! Quickly come to us!"

As Susanoomon rose, he split into KaiserGreymon and MagnaGarurumon.

"Looks like Pluto needs me for something. Rest, Kouji. We'll avenge and get our friends back," the Warrior of Fire vowed as he flew away and entered the red barrier.

"Dimitri, you and Athena look after Orcus for me," Glacialis Sedna instructed.

"Go on. Orcus is in good hands now," Angemon X nodded as the other Kuipers arrived to guard Orcus.

"We're cheering for you, Karin!" ArcticOphanimon X called and waved to Glacialis Sedna.

"I wonder what godmother wants," wondered Gao Pluto TM.

(End theme)

As Glacialis Sedna entered the red barrier, Tempus Pluto VM made a quick headcount.

"Yes, this will be enough."

"What do you have in mind, Pluto?" Glacialis Sedna asked the Time Guardian.

"Each of you possesses a special artifact that's internally or externally linked to you," Tempus Pluto VM. "For instance, my Garnet Orb is the special artifact linked to me."

"So, each of us has our own artifact…" Neo Frigg then realized. "Oh! I have my Moon Force Crystal!" She quickly ejected a fist-sized white jewel from her chest, which landed in her hand. "Here."

Neo-Queen Serenity showed off her Silver Crystal. "And I have my crystal."

Guilkatomon took out his D-Arc. "Does my Digivice count?"

KaiserGreymon took out his D-Scanner. "If so, here's mine with all my Spirits of Fire."

Yugi took out his Dark Magician card. "I have my trusted card."

Glacialis Sedna took out her Henshin Stick. "And I suppose this counts. My stick does contain dimensional crossing properties.."

Yusuke scratched his head. "Well, I don't have any of those tools Botan gave me. I don't really have artifacts like you guys."

Houou Mars took out her Henshin Stick. "I have this, but will that be enough?"

"Yusuke, you may not have an external artifact, but you do have one internally," Tempus Pluto VM hinted. "I do believe your master passed it on to you."

Upon realizing this, Yusuke smacked himself. "D'oh, right! The Spirit Wave Orb!" He put his hands forward and created a blue spiritual ball replica. "Here. It's not the real thing, but should be good enough."

"Indeed," the Time Guardian nodded. "Mars, while your Henshin Stick doesn't nearly have enough potency as Sedna's or the two crystals, you and the Houou have access to Lady Morrigana's staff."

Taking note of this, Houou Mars telepathically communicated with the cosmic avian. Do you, Houou?

Just then, a burst of cosmic flames erupted from Houou Mars' hands. A long staff with golden rings materialized in her palms. She gripped the weapon and brandished it.

"It's a copy of Lady Morrigana's staff. It will have the potent spiritual powers she once used to slay her foes and subdued me with."

"That'll do," Tempus Pluto VM nodded. "Now, listen up…" She then mapped out her plan to the group.

(Cue Yu Yu Hakusho - Tatakai no Hate)

Meanwhile, Zeed X was left to fight with the Omega X duo, the Metalla X duo, Max/Gundamon, Ultimate Madoka, and Devil Homura.

"You're not getting past us!" Ultimate Madoka fired Nebula Arrows at Zeed X.

Zeed X phased through Ultimate Madoka's cosmic arrows. He raised a hand and prepared to blast Ultimate Madoka, but Devil Homura summoned a black hole, in which a dragon head popped out and bit off his arm.

"And you're not laying a hair on my Madoka!" Devil Homura threatened.

"Look, ma. No hand!" Zeed X waved the stump that used to be his hand. He then casually regenerated a new arm. He turned his eyes as Omega X and Omega X (DF-616 Prime) fired a Super Tsunami Wave/100 X Terra Beam at Zeed X. "God, can't you idiots come up with anything better?!" He prepared to stop both their attacks.

The Omega X duo quickly swerved their beams away and redirected toward Zeed X's back. Zeed X still managed to jump over their beams. Then, Metalla X shot up above Zeed X and fired a Final Blaze. Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) phased behind Zeed X and shot a Final Shine Attack. Zeed X used Yami Zeed X Reflector, catching and relocating their attacks elsewhere.

Max/Gundamon went head to head with Zeed X. As Gundamon GM went for a punch, Zeed X dodged and kicked him aside.

Zeed X briefly glanced over toward Dramon X and Jirenmon's fight, which started to negatively affect their surroundings. In fact, their repeated clashes, coupled with multiple divine powers being utilized, were disrupting the dimension fabrics and causing an already crumbling planet to deteriorate.

"Hmm, at the rate we're going, this whole dimension is on the verge of collapse," Zeed X noted. "You see, I can't be the only one faulted if this dimension dies, but all of you will be just as responsible. Most especially Kensuke and Jirenmon's fight is already accelerating the deterioration of the dimensional fabrics."

"Man, why does it always go back to Ken?!" Max/Gundamon GM. "Ken! You have to stop your fight with the big guy! Your fight's causing damage to the dimension!"

However, Dramon X and Jirenmon kept fighting.

"Is that true?! Uncle Ken and that man he's fighting is hurting this world?" ArcticOphanimon X asked Angemon X and the Kuipers.

"I wish it wasn't the case, Athena," Angemon X said.

"And you're crazy if you think I'm getting between those two!" Harena Haumea cried.

"Well, Sedna and the others are already forming some plan, right?" Ventus Eris wondered about what Tempus Pluto VM's plan involved.

"For our sake, I hope it works," Potio Ixion said.

"C'mon, Sedna, hurry it up!" Aduro Varuna yelled out to the Kuiper leader.

Then, Zeed X ordered Jirenmon. "Okay, OP-mon! Time to unleash your mega beam at Kenny and the others!"

As he dodged Dramon X's direct blow, Jirenmon clubbed him hard in the back and sent him falling. Jirenmon then powered up as a reddish flame aura flared over him. His dangerous aura started to drastically alter his surroundings and ruptured the time-space fabrics. Every hero without divine power or barriers was being weakened by Jirenmon's intense aura waves.

Witnessing Jirenmon's full power unfold, Beerusmon and Champamon were flabbergasted.

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Champamon blanched in shock.

"So, the rumors are true! He's the mortal whose power is above us Gods of Destruction!" Beerusmon exclaimed.

Whismon gaped. "Oh dear, this isn't good."

Angemon X and the Kuipers quickly united their energies to form a protective barrier over them. ArcticOphanimon X grabbed Gao Pluto TM.

"Stay behind this wall with me, Hina."

Gao Pluto TM nodded, holding ArcticOphanimon X's hand. "Thanks, Athena."

Amare Venus and the other Senshi used their powers to form a similar barrier to protect them and their allies.

"I don't know how long we can keep this barrier up! This guy's power is insanely high!" Amare Venus exclaimed.

"Too bad Saturn's gone. Her barrier would come more in handy!" Tonitrus Jupiter pointed out.

As Jirenmon finished powering up, everyone noticed their surroundings were completely wiped out. Only fragmented remains of Tokyo remained. In fact, the entire planet was now reduced to floating debris save for a giant ethereal sphere that surrounded and contained them. Whismon and Vadosmon formed a barrier keeping every survivor within.

"Man, we're definitely going to need the Digicores after this is over," Omega X (DF-616 Prime) grimaced over the ruined remains that used to be Earth.

"That's if any of us survives this, Taichi!" Lady Moinanea called out from above.

The goddess descended between Omega X (DF-616 Prime) and Omega X.

"Ok, OP-mon, let's get right down to it!" Zeed X instructed the Digital Pride Trooper.

Jirenmon raised both hands and formed dual flaming spheres made of intense heat energy. He aimed directly for Tempus Pluto, the YYGDM leaders, and Houou Mars.

"Oh no! Tai! Matt!" Max/Gundamon GM shouted.

Heeding Max's warning, Omega X and Metalla X launched at Jirenmon. Metalla X fired a Big Bang Attack. Omega X clenched his right hand, summoning a dragon-shaped aura that roared and blasted out. Omega X then collided and unleashed his Dramon Fist against Jirenmon. Jirenmon's intense aura managed to blow them both away.

Omega X (DF-616 Prime) and Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) went to stop Jirenmon. The Ascendant level 4 duo unleashed a flurry of punches on the Digital Pride Trooper. Jirenmon casually dodged their attacks. Jirenmon grabbed Omega X (DF-616 Prime)'s punch and gut punched him. He saw Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) coming and kicked him away.

"They're already onto us!" Guilkatomon panicked.

"No, we're almost done," Tempus Pluto VM said as the YYGDM leaders and Houou Mars placed their artifacts in a circle. "Now, take each other's hands and concentrate."

With that, eight grabbed each other. The Silver Crystal, the Moon Force Crystal, Takato's D-Arc, Yugi's Dark Magician card, Takuya's D-Scanner, Yusuke's Spirit Orb, Glacialis Sedna's Henshin Stick, and Morrigana's staff were set in the center. The eight closed their eyes and concentrated. Their bodies instinctively ejected beams of light as they hit the artifacts. The eight artifacts floated up in front of their wielders.

Awakened by Jirenmon's full power, Dramon X sat up. He gritted and tensed his whole body.

"It's not over… IT'S NOT OVER!" Dramon X bellowed as his white Ascendant aura resurfaced.

"Yes, it's not over, Kenny! Because your name is DEATH, AND THE END IS NEAR!" Zeed X replied to Dramon X's unbridled rage.

Dramon X launched himself into Jirenmon, who had just blasted Omega X (DF-616 Prime) and Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) away. Dramon X kicked Jirenmon from behind and knocked him around. Jirenmon fired back with a barrage of flame-like fists. Dramon X crossed both arms, taking Jirenmon's punches. Between Dramon X's white aura and Jirenmon's miasma-like wave, the universe started to further deteriorate.

"They're back at it again!" Max exclaimed.

"Yes, and I fear this whole universe will collapse if those two go all out," Moinanea revealed the worst possibility if preventative action isn't taken.

Beerusmon scowled. "This will require our intervention then. Champamon."

Bam!

Dramon X and Jirenmon's blows connected, causing the entire dimension they were in to shake. As a result of their clash, ripples formed and affected their surroundings. Everyone felt this. The entire dimension felt this.

Omega X awoke to this. "Kensuke, stop! You and Jirenmon are going to destroy this whole universe this way!"

Both Beerusmon and Champamon paused as they felt the immense pressure emanating from the two warriors. They noticed Dramon X's glare beginning to change.

Zeed X caught onto this. "He's once again tapping into Ascendancy Instinct."

Overhearing Zeed X, Whismon muttered. "So, who knew this young man would be the first to ascend to that status and before any of our warriors could achieve it. Not even Lord Beerusmon has fully mastered that."

Vadosmon added, eyeing Dramon X. "That Kensuke boy hasn't mastered it quite yet…"

Whismon bit his lip. "He may sooner than we think."

As Jirenmon went for a punch, Dramon X jumped up dodging the Digital Pride Trooper's blow. Jirenmon quickly turned and watched Dramon X vanish before his eyes. Jirenmon's miasma aura expanded, which started to dissolve everything around him, including the dimensional fabrics. By utilizing this chaotic miasma aura, Jirenmon was able to match Dramon X, but at a cost. The miasma affected his mental state, causing him to be driven mad. Jirenmon's focused attacks became unfocused as he turned his attacks toward others.

Jirenmon fired a Power Impact ball toward Renrukimon, Terryamon, and Inumuramon.

"OH NO! RIKA, HENRY, HIMURA!" Guilkatomon shouted fearfully to his friends.

Just as Omega X prepared to stop Jirenmon's attack, Dramon X phased in front of the Beast Tamers and took the blast. Dramon X fell to a knee but stared intently at Jirenmon.

Jirenmon then turned his attention toward the Sailor Senshi, Hiei, Kurama, MagnaGarurumon, and their compatriots. He dove toward them, conjuring another Power Impact attack. Masaru & ShineGreymon BM unconsciously stepped out of the group's barrier.

"Masaru, what are you doing?!" Thomas barked.

"Get your asses back in here!" Amare Venus demanded.

"Come and get us, big guy!" Masaru beckoned Jirenmon.

Masaru and ShineGreymon BM flew up to intercept Jirenmon. ShineGreymon BM went for a sword swing. Masaru went for a straight jab for Jirenmon's face. The Grey stopped ShineGreymon BM's sword with one hand and prepared to drop his Power Impact on the two.

Wham!

Dramon X headbutted Jirenmon from behind, saving Masaru and ShineGreymon BM from imminent death. Jirenmon then fired yet another Power Impact, sending it at the Sailor Senshi and company. Dramon X kicked the attack out of Jirenmon's hand and grabbed him. Dramon X smashed Jirenmon into the ground, driving him thousands of feet under.

"Whoa, thanks, man…" Masaru panted. "I almost had him!"

"Where the hell are they now?!" MagnaGarurumon wondered.

Hiei's Jagan Eye scanned the earth. "Move! He's coming out from under us all!"

Boom!

A volcanic-like blast erupted from the ground and ruptured the entire planet. Shooting out of the heat blast was Jirenmon, who set his sights on Angemon X and the Kuiper Senshi next. The Grey quickly rocketed toward them.

Glacialis Sedna screamed. "DIMITRI, ATHENA! GIRLS!"

Angemon X and the Kuipers responded to Jirenmon's advance and augmented their barrier further using their energies. ArcticOphanimon X and Gao Pluto TM also sent their energies to maintain the barrier. Jirenmon collided with the barrier and shattered it in one blow. As the Grey reared back with his fist, Angemon X and Aduro Varuna prepared to defend the group, but a white flash of light collided with Jirenmon and knocked him back.

Jirenmon came to and saw Dramon X grabbing him by the neck in a stranglehold. Jirenmon then grabbed the Accel Ascendant's neck and started to crush his throat. Both roared in pain as they smashed into land surfaces.

"Is everyone ok?!" Angemon X turned to ask the Kuipers.

"Yes, thank you, Dimitri," Illusio Makemake nodded.

"I could've defended us, too, but…" Crying hysterically, Harena Haumea found herself overwhelmed with distress. "God, why am I even here?"

Ventus Eris rolled her eyes. "Don't be a drama queen, Haumea."

Rosa Quaoar calmed Haumea. "Yes, we're going to survive this. I promise."

"Yeah! Count on uncle Ken to pull through for us!" ArcticOphanimon X cheered him on.

"Yeah, he's a really amazing guy," Gao Pluto TM concurred with her overly enthusiastic friend.

Platinum Orcus scoffed and averted her eyes from the others. "I could've saved us. Pfft, whatever."

Angemon X and Aduro Varuna quietly watched Dramon X and Jirenmon viciously beating each other.

Jirenmon kicked Dramon X off and shot up into the air. Dramon X followed him. Dramon X's white aura kicked into overdrive as it thickened and became less ethereal-like in nature.

Metalla X was aghast at Dramon X's Ascendancy Instinct kick in. No way, this isn't possible! Matt, please tell me you're seeing this! If this doesn't piss you off, then I don't even know what to say anymore!

Omega X smirked. "Heh, nice turnaround, Ken."

Beerusmon scowled angrily over the developments. "This can't be… of all the… not him."

Champamon gasped. "They're going to clash again!"

Dramon X AI and Jirenmon powered up plentiful energy to fire off their ultimate attacks.

"If those attacks clash again, this entire dimension will be wiped out!" Moinanea cried out.

"We can't let this pass! Madoka!" Devil Homura beckoned her colleague as they prepared to intervene.

"No, get back!" Max beckoned the goddess and the demoness off.

Dramon X AI unleashed his Tenchu's Requiem and Jirenmon fired his Revolution Cannon. The opposing beams hurtled forward and collided, causing the entire dimension to shake.

"Now!" Tempus Pluto VM cried out.

The YYGDM leaders and Houou Mars's artifacts created a pillar of light that interjected between the two beams. Their ritual attack not only stopped the beams but started siphoning off their ultimate attacks.

Zeed X blinked at this. "Huh, ok, I didn't see this coming."

Moinanea sighed with relief. "That was close."

Omega X shouted. "Nice save, guys!"

As the YYGDM-01 heroes siphoned both Dramon X AI's Tenchu's Requiem and Jirenmon's Revolution Cannon, they felt a universal power increase. Neo-Queen Serenity, Houou Mars, Glacialis Sedna, Yugi, Guilkatomon, KaiserGreymon, Neo Frigg, and Yusuke were all given a power boost. Not only that, but they prevented both fighters from destroying this dimension. The siphoning process also purged the chaotic miasma, which suppressed the bulk of his power.

Even Zeed X is impressed with how the YYGDM-01 characters pulled it off. This is quite an understatement. Such a shame they had to suppress Jirenmon, but no matter what he's still strong enough to fight. Kenny's name has three words representing the Triad. Kensuke's name has seven words for another theme for the author's fanfics. Looks like I have to give a huge pep talk to YYGDM-01's apex reputation in the coming final phase. "Just wait until our pep talk, dimension YYGDM-01. Your curse awaits you."

(End theme)

The eight felt their powers augmented to new levels. Each one had a white aura radiating off them.

"Whoa, check it out!" Guilkatomon was in awe over his new aura. "I feel a lot stronger now!"

"Did we really just suck up all that energy from their blasts?" Yugi wondered, taking back his card.

"It seems like it!" KaiserGreymon said.

"This is incredible," Neo Frigg smirked. "And I thought I was already crazy OP before."

"Ken even lent us his own power," Neo-Queen Serenity realized, turning to Dramon X AI. "But, at the expense of his own? Won't that make him weaker if he's sharing his strength with us eight?"

Houou Mars noticed her usual yellowish Houou cloak turning white. "Yeah, he's willing to give his own strength to us because that's the kind of guy he is. Wasn't he called the Bearer of Unity?"

Glacialis Sedna nodded, seeing her a white aura enshrouding her. "Yeah, and he's also a wielder of the Light Legacy. And so am I." Brother, you've invoked the inner light powers that's been suppressed in me for the longest time. Thank you. She turned to Neo-Queen Serenity. "Now thanks to brother, I'm on your level."

Neo-Queen Serenity nodded. "I wouldn't complain about that."

"I bet I could pop a planet with my Spirit Gun now," Yusuke half-joked.

"You really wanna try it?" Neo Frigg shrugged. "Go on. It'll be your mess."

"Yeah, forget what I said."

Zeed X clapped his hands. "Congrats on you eight getting a fancy power-up thanks to Kenny. I guess we can call this some form of pseudo-Ascendancy Instinct. Seeing this makes the Platinum Orca covetously mad." He stopped clapping. "But, I know those power-ups are temporal. They have a limit and who even knows what'll happen once their time limit runs out. Still, these are interesting developments." He then turned and addressed Houou Mars. "I suppose now that makes you the White Houou?"

"What does it matter?" She replied.

"Simply now the cloak is white, but your outfit hasn't changed to reflect your power upgrade. Also, your Corner self wielded this power to defeat the Yami Houou."

"What?!" Houou Mars was taken aback by this revelation.

"That's right. You never had the chance to properly extinguished your inner darkness, less alone that a remnant symbiote possessed your father."

Houou Mars growled. "Don't remind me."

Neo-Queen Serenity calmed her friend down. "Save it, Mars. If we all have Kensuke's power in us, then Zeed X will be in a world of hurt."

Then, Zeed X saw the rift in the sky caused by Ordinemon. He then gave an important announcement, "Anyone see that hole carved up? Guess what? I'm heading there and everyone is invited to follow! The time has come to fuck the Prime Taichi's existence up!"

Upon hearing this, Omega X exclaimed. "You're not planning to do what I think you're going to do!"

Dramon X AI growled. "Don't you dare!"

As he floated into the sky, Zeed X beckoned Jirenmon and Toppomon to follow him. Jirenmon was the first to fly up with Zeed X. Toppomon followed them.

There was one individual watching who took this personally.

Damn you, Zeed X! You're NOT stealing my glory! Burizalor scowled.

Zeed X telepathically responded Burizalor, I heard that, Freezalor.

"NO! YOU'LL RUE THE DAY YOU INCURRED MY WRATH!" Burizalor screamed as he finally shot out of hiding and headed straight into the rift.

"Was that Burizalor?!" Omega X was baffled by the tyrant's surprise intervention.

"That bastard still manages to hang on," Metalla X scoffed.

"Doesn't matter now! We're going after them all!" Guilkatomon declared.

With that said, every remaining hero followed Zeed X, Jirenmon, Toppomon, and Burizalor's trail to dimension DVT-98. Even those who barely made it like Kaimodosu X AM flew into the rift to participate in the forthcoming battle.

Before he prepared to make his departure, Saitou turned around to see the V-Tamer group (DVT-98-AU) run over to him.

"So, you all wish to join me?" Saitou asked.

Neo (DVT-98-AU) nodded. "Yes, we wish to fight with you to the end."

"Where's your sister Rei, Neo?"

"Sh-She's gone. She got erased before us."

Saitou clenched his fists. "I'm sorry to hear that, Neo."

"Without Rei around, I only have one other purpose. That's to fight the enemy that killed her!"

"Then, we'll fight this enemy until we die, my comrades," Saitou stated.

Moinanea formed a barrier around the V-Tamers (DVT-98-AU). "Then, I'll carry you up to where we'll be going."

"Thank you," Neo (DVT-98-AU) replied.

Dimension: DVT-98

(Cue Codename Z - Xenoblade Chronicles X OST)

The rift from dimension DF-616 Prime opened. Zeed X, Jirenmon, and Toppomon were the first to arrive. They scanned the new universe they've stumbled into. They stood on a flat mountain surface and gazed over a long stretch of a barren wasteland. Far in the distance lie the ruins of Daemon's castle.

Zeed X calmly breathed in the air. "Ah, a fresh location for what will truly be the climax. And how fitting it's in the same universe that's considered the Prime universe of all Digimon timelines. You have no idea how long I've waited to come here. Too bad that short-sighted emperor, Burizalor, beat me here first already. But unlike him, I intend to finish the job."

"I didn't just hear my name come out of your mouth, you ungrateful cur!" Burizalor yelled out as he jumped out of the rift and flew headfirst into Zeed X. Powering up into his Golden form, he raised a hand and charged Ki into his finger. "Let's see you dodge this…!" As he fired, Zeed X phased out.

Zeed X slipped behind Burizalor. "...I said, I was going to finish your job." He then planted a palm into Burizalor's gut and fired a beam that sent the tyrant flying far back. "Now, where was I?"

Just then, Omega X, Metalla X, Dramon X, the YYGDM leaders, and Houou Mars were the first heroes to emerge.

"Ah you spoiled my fun," Zeed X pouted a bit.

"Where's Burizalor?! We know he came before us!" Omega X asked about the tyrant's whereabouts.

"Oh, he was here, but he's taking a nap right now," Zeed X plainly answered. "And I made sure to tuck him nicely."

It wasn't long as the other heroes came out of the rift. Zeed X saw how overcrowded the mountain was getting.

"Why don't we relocate? This isn't the best place for us to fight to the finish," Zeed X suggested as he, Jirenmon, and Toppomon floated off the mountain. They headed toward the center of the wasteland.

"After them!" Neo-Queen Serenity declared.

The heroes beelined right after Zeed X and the Digital Pride Troopers.

Beerusmon, Champamon, Whismon, and Vadosmon walked out of the rift. They watched the heroes head off after the villain and his mind-controlled minions.

"Welp, here we are back in 'Digimon Prime'," Whismon announced.

"This is the Prime universe that Burizalor intended to destroy, which would've erased every Digimon timeline throughout the Nexus," Beerusmon noted. "Access to this dimension was supposed to be locked under tight maximum security."

"Well, it seems Zeed X managed to find some loopholes and used codes to access this dimension," Vadosmon said.

"Why am I not surprised? That guy's a real cheat!" Champamon scoffed.

Finally, the last ones to emerge from the rift were Saitou, Neo & his crew (DVT-98-AU), and Moinanea.

"Thank you, Lady Moinanea," Saitou said. "We'll travel on our own from here."

With that, Saitou and his group headed off toward the climactic battle.

xxxxx

Along the way, Saitou and his group ran into the actual V-Tamers (DVT-98): Taichi & Veedramon (DVT-98), Neo & Rei Saiba (DVT-98), Hideto Fujimoto (DVT-98), Sigma (DTV-98), and Mari Goutokuji (DVT-98).

Saitou introduced himself. "Hello, Taichi. Fancy meeting another version of you."

Taichi (DVT-98) stared dumbfoundedly. "Huh? Do I know you?"

Veedramon (DVT-98) looked confused. "Yeah, we've never meet ya."

Neo (DVT-98) gawked at his counterpart. "Better yet, you're me! An older-looking me!"

Rei (DVT-98) smiled and waved to Neo (DVT-98-AU). "Hello, pleased to meet you, other Neo."

"Rei…" Neo (DVT-98-AU) muttered sadly as a tear fell from his eye.

"What's wrong? And why isn't there an older me with you?"

Neo (DVT-98-AU) wiped his tears, trying to keep cool. "Sh-She… couldn't make it. She stayed behind." He covered up his sister's death.

"Oh, I see," Rei (DVT-98) nodded, although she could tell he was lying.

"I don't understand this," Hideto (DVT-98) scratched his head, gawking at his alternate self.

"I'm at a loss myself," Sigma (DVT-98) got a close-up of his older, alternate counterpart.

Mari (DVT-98) and Mari (DVT-98-AU) checked each other out. They smiled and high-fived each other.

"Nice to meet ya, Mari!" The ladies greeted each other.

Saitou cleared his throat. "The reason why you're here…"

"Let me guess that Burizalor guy is back to give my world trouble?" Taichi (DVT-98) guessed.

"He is here, but we have a far greater threat that's arrived in your world," Whismon interjected as the group saw him, Beerusmon, Champamon, Vadosmon, and Moinanea approach them.

"Oh, hey! It's the blue guy with the big hair and the purple cat god guy!" Veedramon (DVT-98) pointed to the deity and the angel. "And look, we got a fatter purple cat and a girly version of the big-haired guy!"

Both Beerusmon and Champamon fumed over Veedramon (DVT-98)'s simplistic description of them.

"Ya better take back that 'fat' remark!" Champamon snapped and prepared to lunge at Veedramon (DVT-98), but Vadosmon bopped his head with her staff.

"Anyway, we're here because we can't let this villain find you. As you know your existence is fundamental in keeping corresponding timelines and dimensions in check. This world would be classified as a 'fruit of the source'," Whismon explained. "The larger a Prime dimension is, the more multiple timelines and dimensions are spawned from it. Think of these multiple dimensions like atoms or DNA strands; each strand is a separate reality. Most of these realities are connected to each other and float around the Galaxy Cauldron, otherwise known as the Source. Through this, new universes are born."

"Source?" Neo (DVT-98).

"Our world is that important?" Rei (DVT-98) queried the angel.

"Indeed, it's paramount that this world stays intact to ensure that the other Digimon timelines and worlds survive," Vadosmon said. "This enemy we've been pursuing has already destroyed many of these 'atoms' within the Source. We presume after he destroys this Prime dimension, he'll go straight for the Source."

Whismon sighed. "He's quite the ambitious individual. I'm not even sure if he seeks self-destruction, but he's going to learn one simply cannot destroy the Source, but it can be tampered with."

"Few have tried tampering with it, but all have failed," Vadosmon vaguely revealed. "Presumably what Zeed X seeks is deep within the Source."

"And what's in there?" Taichi (DVT-98) queried.

The deities stayed silent on the matter.

"Come, we're going to where the others are facing the enemy," Whismon said, tapping his staff, forming a barrier around them.

"If that other me with the blue hair is fighting this bad guy, we want to be there to see him beat this bad guy," Taichi (DVT-98) said.

"Yeah, we're in!" Veedramon (DVT-98) exclaimed.

"I hope we get there before it's over," Neo (DVT-98-AU) said.

"Considering they're fighting Zeed X, I doubt it'll be over that quickly," Beerusmon replied.

(End theme)

xxxxx

As they relocated to the center of a wasteland, Zeed X, Jirenmon, and Toppomon found a mesa formation to land on. The trio stayed on the higher ground as the heroes arrived and assembled.

"Well, I think this is the perfect place for the decisive battle," Zeed X approved of the relocation.

"Yeah, and we can't wait to wipe that smug look off your face!" Omega X dropped into a fighting stance with the others.

"However, we're not attacking just yet." Zeed X added. "Why don't you start doing that Life Bomb of yours, Taichi?"

Taken aback, Omega X was confounded by this. "My Life Bomb?"

Max advised against this. "Tai, that's a risky gamble. You know as well as I do they'll just attack while you're gathering energy from all of us."

Guilkatomon concurred with this concern. "He's right! You'll be an open target and most of us won't even be able to cover for you since we'll be giving our energy to you!"

Zeed X interjected. "Actually, the three of us won't even budge from our spot. We're offering you this concession to forge your Life Bomb however you want. Collect as much energy from your friends and this universe as much as you'd like."

Neo Frigg scoffed. "You hear that? What a cocky bastard."

Neo-Queen Serenity turned to Omega X. "What will you do?"

Glacialis Sedna pleaded. "Please, Tai, you don't need to do it."

(Cue The Birthday Massacre - Cover My Eyes)

Weighing his options, Omega X ultimately decided and flew into the air. He raised both hands above his head.

Omega X (DF-616 Prime) smirked. "We're not so different after all. I'd probably do the same."

Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) snorted. "Oh, you sure would."

Omega X suppressed the maliciousness in his heart. "I hate to do this, everyone, but can you lend me your energy?!"

Guilkatomon nodded. "You don't even need to ask."

Max chuckled. "Ok, Gundamon, let's give him that energy. What can I say? He's using my technique."

The first ones to raise their hands and send their energy were the DF-616 group consisting of Metalla X, Max/Gundamon GM, Celesta X HM, WarAngemon, Tike/AltronGundamon, David/HeavyArmsGundamon, Jax, Kaimodosu X AM, Rosemon X, Zordiark X, Hit, Wimara, and Xander.

Next, the YYGDM-01 secondary and tertiary heroes donated their energies toward the blue sphere forming above Omega X. Renrukimon, Terryamon, Inumuramon, Tempus Pluto VM, Amare Venus, Tonitrus Jupiter, Mare Neptune, MagnaGarurumon, Hiei, Kurama, Joey, Lyn, Angemon X, ArcticOphanimon X, Gao Pluto TM, Aduro Varuna, Ventus Eris, Rosa Quaoar, Potio Ixion, Harena Haumea, Illusio Makemake, and CyberTitaniamon willfully sent their energies. Platinum Orcus seemed hesitant to give but ultimately raised both hands out of respect for the Ascendant.

The Digital Fused duo, Omega X (DF-616 Prime) and Metalla X (DF-616 Prime), raised their hands to help build the Life Bomb.

Masaru & ShineGreymon, Thomas & MirageGaogamon, and Taiki & Shoutmon X7F SM also sent their life energies for the Life Bomb.

Ultimate Madoka and Devil Homura also sent their energies.

Finally, Dramon X AI, Neo-Queen Serenity, Houou Mars, Guilkatomon, Glacialis Sedna, KaiserGreymon, Yusuke, Yugi, and Neo Frigg donated their energies.

In the distance, the deities, Saitou, and the V-Tamers (DVT-98 & DVT-98-AU) closed in on the location. Both V-Tamer groups marveled at the sheer size of the Life Bomb and saw streams of white light being absorbed into the spirit ball.

"He's going for that technique. I hope he realizes that's gambling with your life," Saitou muttered. "Raise your hands, my friends. They'll need as much of our energy to stop Zeed X."

"You mean like this?" Taichi (DVT-98) raised both hands as he noticed his own energy leaving him. "Whoa!"

"That's so cool!" Veedramon (DVT-98) enthusiastically shouted.

"C'mon, let's give him what he needs!" Rei (DVT-98) put her hands up.

Saitou and the two V-Tamers groups sent their energies toward Omega X's Life Bomb.

Beerusmon eyed the growing spirit orb. "Well, this is an interesting choice. What manner of technique is this?"

Whismon answered. "It's the Life Bomb technique. He seems to have learned it from Max when he used to be a Digital Watcher. He's taking the life energy from his friends and colleagues to amass a pure spiritual ball, which if makes contact with one with a malicious heart will destroy them. He used this a few times. The last time he used it was against the D-Reaper's evil form."

Vadosmon marveled at the Life Bomb. "It's quite beautiful, isn't it, Lord Champamon?"

Champamon shrugged. "I guess. I hope some of our warriors are giving their energies, too."

Because of the newfound energies from Dramon X AI, the eight YYGDM-01 heroes, Ultimate Madoka, and Devil Homura, the Life Bomb grew bigger much faster without the reliance on millions of populace. The size of it is as big as Mount Everest.

Zeed X stared at the expanding Life Bomb. "Wow, that's quite the quality product. And you didn't even need a whole universe to create this. Be thankful you have a few divine individuals on your side." He scanned over to Dramon X AI, the eight YYGDM-01 heroes with their white auras, Ultimate Madoka, and Devil Homura.

Jirenmon addressed Omega X. "Come at us with all your strength!"

Toppomon scoffed. "Don't goad him, Jirenmon."

"You're all hella generous, but don't complain if this kills y'all!" Omega X rebuked.

xxxxx

Already recovered from Zeed X's attack, Burizalor raised his right arm and send his energy to the Life Bomb. The technique that once nearly killed Burizalor years back is now ironically helping it to stop a common foe, but not out of altruism.

Yes, I am only doing this to get Zeed X out of the way, Taichi. Once that's done, I'll be the one to kill Prime Taichi! Burizalor vowed in thought.

xxxxx

As Omega X prepared to throw the Life Bomb at the trio of adversaries, Zeed X briefly turned his face to the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street and taunted Omega X, "Come at me, bro! Om nom nom nom nom nom!"

Jirenmon stood his ground ready to take on the largest Life Bomb.

"You three asked for it! Now, take this!" Omega X tossed the Life Bomb at the trio. "This is our Multiversal Life Bomb!"

The Multiversal Life Bomb quickly headed toward the trio. Of the three, Toppomon seemed the most concerned. Both Zeed X and Jirenmon remained firm and unfazed in the face of what could be their end.

"C'mon, let them have it!" Guilkatomon cheered.

"Please let this be it!" KaiserGreymon prayed.

"They're not even moving! What the hell?!" Neo Frigg shouted.

"This better work. I didn't give my energy to you for nothing," Metalla X scoffed.

Dramon X AI quietly watched the giant sphere heading closer at the trio.

The Multiversal Life Bomb finally made contact, seemingly engulfing Zeed X and Jirenmon. Toppomon jumped away, flabbergasted by this turn of events.

"Jirenmon!" Toppomon called to his colleague, but he got no response. "No, this can't be!"

Omega X had his hands out as he exerted more force into the Multiversal Life Bomb. He noticed Toppomon avoided the sphere. "He's all that's left. Piece of cake, we can take care of him…"

Suddenly, the Ascendant sensed the two opposing powers push back and he saw the Multiversal Life Bomb seemingly being pushed upward. To his dismay, he saw Zeed X and Jirenmon holding up one arm each. They effortlessly pushed the spirit ball toward Omega X.

"No way…!" Omega X blanched.

"No, it's getting pushed back!" Max shouted.

"But, Tai should have enough power!" Celesta X HM cried out.

"After all we gave him, it wasn't enough?!" Guilkatomon yelled in panic.

"Even the Houou gave some of her energy, too!" Houou Mars shouted.

Ultimate Madoka gasped. "No, this shouldn't happen!"

Devil Homura gritted. "They're only able to push back our combined energies because of Zeed X being there!"

"C'mon, Tai! Push back!" Omega X (DF-616 Prime) encouraged his counterpart.

"DAMN IT ALL!" Omega X transformed into Super Ascendant Blue and utilized his strength to hold the Multiversal Life Bomb. He strained and struggled to push the sphere toward his enemies.

"Nice work, OP-mon. Now let's send his ass to oblivion!" Zeed X declared as he and Jirenmon unleashed enough force to push the ball toward Omega X.

Omega X desperately invoked Fury Blitz Times Ten, shrouding his blue aura with a layer of red. He increased his output and still struggled to hold the ball. He upped his power and went Fury Blitz Times Twenty. The ball was barely repelled toward Zeed X and Jirenmon. Using just their glares, the duo effortlessly pushed back, much to Omega X's horror.

Upon arriving, the deities dropped off the two V-Tamer groups.

"Saitou, look!" Neo (DVT-98-AU) pointed toward the power struggle.

"This isn't good!" Saitou gaped.

"It appears he's hit the limit of his limitations, Lord Beerusmon," Whismon observed. "Meanwhile, Zeed X and Jirenmon aren't even giving it their all. He's fighting both an omniversal-level enemy and a mortal with a power surpassing a God of Destruction. There's little Taichi can do now."

Amare Venus remarked. "Damn it, these two make Charon and Millenniummon look pathetic in comparison."

Tempus Pluto VM added. "An attack like this would've surely wiped those two out, but Zeed X is several dimensions above those two. My sister would've killed to have the power Zeed X has now."

"Well, I'm not standing here and letting these two destroy the ball we helped create! Hang on, Tai!" Guilkatomon flew in to intervene, but Toppomon intervened and fired a Destruction Ball his way.

Toppomon quickly unleashed a barrage of Destruction Balls to keep the heroes at bay.

"DAMN YOU!" Omega X (DF-616 Prime) flew at Toppomon and punched him.

Toppomon dodged and kicked Omega X (DF-616 Prime) back. "None shall pass me!"

Dramon X AI shot up and kicked Toppomon back.

Seeing Dramon X AI intervene, Zeed X encouraged Jirenmon. "Now show all these universes your power! Let's destroy this Ascendant!"

The gap of power between the opposing forces closed up. Omega X witnessed the Multiversal Life Bomb heading his way. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop its advance. Gritting his teeth, the Ascendant watched his life flash before his eyes.

"DAD!" Max screamed toward Omega X.

(End theme)

The blue sphere quickly turned white and then black. Dramon X tried to reach for Omega X, but to his dismay, the Ascendant's hand faded. From Omega X's view, he saw himself falling into an endless abyss. The extremities of the Multiversal Life Bomb's power swallowed up the Ascendant until he was visibly wiped out.

Boom!

As the spiritual bomb exploded, the shockwaves from the explosion pushed everyone back. Dramon X AI, who was closest to Omega X, was knocked back. Angemon X jumped up and grabbed him.

"TAI!" Dramon X AI yelled out.

"I...I can't feel his presence anymore," Angemon X closed his eyes.

Among those who grieved for Omega X's demise were Max, Celesta X HM, WarAngemon, Rosemon X, ArcticOphanimon X, Glacialis Sedna, Kaimodosu X AM, Guilkatomon, and Ultimate Madoka.

(Cue "In The End" Linkin Park Cinematic Cover (feat. Jung Youth & Fleurie) / Produced by Tommee Profitt)

All of Omega X's friends, family, and allies yelled out, but their cries fell silent. Even Beerusmon was horrified.

Zeed X can only chuckle, "I never gotten the chance to kill Omega X of DF-616 Prime, but I succeeded with ending the DF-616! Woo, talk about making up for a lost opportunity!" He nonchalantly shook his head. " The Life Bomb's result is so darn predictable that you heroes fell for my goading and the simplest of Shonen cliches all for the riskiest of all gambles. You sent Omega X to his grave."

There was a deep silence from the heroes, who mourned the loss of DF-616's greatest hero. Metalla X anded where the Life Bomb destroyed his friend and rival. He blanched at the enormous crater in the wake of the explosion. There was absolutely no trace of Omega X anywhere.

"Agumon… dad…" Max cried hard inside Gundamon GM. First mom and now you, dad! And with no Digicores, we can't bring you either of you back!

ArcticOphanimon X teared up. "Grunkle Tai… he can't be gone… I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!"

"Tai… no…!" Kaimodosu X AM cried over her adopted father's sudden death.

Saitou and Omega X (DF-616 Prime) recalled a similar fate, but with the former killing the latter, whose death had a profound albeit brief impact on his friends.

"When I killed you Taichi, it was purely a mercy killing," Saitou said. "But, this… this was done out of malicious intent."

Omega X (DF-616 Prime) growled as he faced Zeed X. "You bastard!"

Dramon X AI stood up, shooting an intent to kill at Zeed X. "This is the last straw! I'm going to erase your fucking ass!"

Zeed X sighed. "What? Y'all have no one to blame but yourselves. He also made the choice to gamble on that plot device and he paid the price. Oh, by the way, if you were planning to revive him with those other Digicores, like the Spirians and Numerondramon's Super Digicores. Don't. I made sure to pollute those things before coming to dimension DF-616 Prime. I covered all my bases. Sorry, but no revivals. Not on my watch."

Dreading his inevitable fate, Taichi (DVT-98) fell to his knees. "Now, he's definitely coming after me next."

Beerusmon stepped in front of the boy. "That won't happen. Your existence is crucial to our survival."

Zeed X then announced to his adversaries, "Well come on then, heroes. Time to fight again! Or, have you all lost your nerve?!"

(End theme)

"You want us? Be careful what you wish for!" Max snapped, expressing his intent to murder Zeed X.

"At this point, there's just no going back for us now!" Guilkatomon openly declared to avenge Omega X.

Dramon X AI merely raised his head as his white aura flared brighter than it's ever been before.

(Cue The Birthday Massacre - The Long Way Home)

With that, the majority of the DF-616 (Digiverse 7 & 6) and YYGDM-01 heroes rushed Zeed X, Jirenmon, and Toppomon. Omega X (DF-616 Prime) and Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) headed straight for the trio. Masaru, Thomas, Taiki, and their Digimon headed into the fray. Ultimate Madoka and Devil Homura established their sights on Zeed X.

"Everyone, I understand your emotions, but we have to fight smartly!" Tempus Pluto VM called out as she held Gao Pluto TM and ArcticOphanimon X back.

"Let me go!" ArcticOphanimon X fidgeted. "I want to fight with Karin and Dimitri! I wanna avenge Grunkle Tai!"

Zeed X casually dodged Max/Gundamon GM's fierce attacks. When Max went for a Tsunami Wave, Zeed X conjured a Yami Zeed X Reflector, sending the beam right back at Max/Gundamon GM. Max was then knocked out of his Gundam Digimon. Gundamon GM fell and de-evolved back to Gojiramon.

As Tike/AltronGundamon and David/HeavyArmsGundamon beelined for him. Zeed X fired blasts that incapacitated them. Tike and David were knocked out of their Gundam Digimon. Both AltronGundamon and HeavyArmsGundamon collapsed and de-evolved back to their Kaijuu rookie forms.

Zeed X unleashed a wave, knocking away any other DF-616 and YYGDM-01 hero. Among them were Omega X (DF-616 Prime), Metalla X, Renrukimon, Inumuramon, Terrayamon, Hiei, Yoko Kurama, Zordiark X, Xander, Amare Venus, Tontrius Jupiter, Mare Neptune, Angemon X, Rosa Quaoar, Potio Ixion, and Illusio Makemake.

Jirenmon quickly fought off Celesta X HM, WarAngemon, Kaimodosu X AM, Jax, Hit, Wimara, Metalla X (DF-616 Prime), ShineGreymon BM, MirageGaogamon BM, Shoutmon X7F SM, MagnaGarurumon, Aduro Varuna, Ventus Eris, and Harena Haumea.

Toppomon found himself fighting off the remaining fighters, including CyberTitaniamon.

In the midst of the fighting, many of the heroes were overpowered. Shoutmon X7F SM was quickly brought down by Jirenmon and split back into Xros Heart's Digimon Army.

"Sorry… Taiki… we gave a lot of our power just for that spirit ball…" Shoutmon weakly muttered as he lost consciousness.

"Shoutmon!" Taiki held his partner.

As Jirenmon kicked Hit away, Jax unleashed a beam barrage to hold the Grey at bay. Then, a flare of white light slammed into Jirenmon and knocked him aside. The white light's flare cleared, revealing Dramon X AI.

The YYGDM-01 leaders and Houou Mars made their move against Zeed X. Neo-Queen Serenity used the white light power given to her from Dramon X's Ascendancy Instinct aura and tossed it at Zeed X. Zeed X dodged and took to the air. Guilkatomon and Yusuke jumped up to attack Zeed X with blows. Yusuke fired a Spirit Gun. Guilkatomon launched his Hazard Wave. Zeed X stopped their attacks with his hands and nullified them. Neo Frigg flew into Zeed X and swung her blade, which Zeed X stopped with his fingers. Neo Frigg unleashed a full-powered White Aesir Kamehameha. Zeed X conjured another Yami Zeed X Reflector, absorbing said attack and sending it back at Neo Frigg. Houou Mars shot toward Zeed X and attempted to engulf him with her cosmic white flames, but Zeed X teleported. Yugi and KaiserGreymon then tried to attack Zeed X, but the anomalous being neutralized them with telekinetic blasts. Glacialis Sedna imbued her Ice Trident with her light power and used it to stab Zeed X from behind. Much to her dismay, Zeed X teleported beside Sedna and backhanded her.

"KARIN!" Dramon X AI and Angemon X yelled out to her.

However, it was Dramon X AI who was quick enough to grab and blast Zeed X back.

"Karin, are you ok?!"

"I am now!" Glacialis Sedna reassured. Her own light aura protected her from Zeed X's brutal blow. "I think if it wasn't for this light, I'd be dead."

Dramon X AI angrily glared toward Zeed X, who quickly vanished. He then turned, noticing Zeed X reappearing behind Neo-Queen Serenity and Neo Frigg. "Oh shit! You two look out!"

However, Zeed X's sneak attack allowed him to steal Neo-Queen Serenity and Neo Frigg's crystals by telekinesis.

"HEY, THAT'S MINE!" Neo-Queen Serenity blanched, seeing her own crystal in the enemy's hand.

Neo Frigg snapped. "Give those back to us!"

"Hehehe. Of all the Boku no Pico trio of Ascendants that represent each Triad dimension, you are the only one that does not die, Kenny." Zeed X remarked. He floated up, holding the crystals. "In fact, it's better this way since living with that accursed Light Legacy and the omniverse hating you is a fate worse than both fear and death! You can't spread your risible reputation as the farcical unifier! The real-life humans don't even know nor care about your existence!"

Platinum Orcus overheard as she bit her lip hard enough to make it bleed. "...they all hate us two now…?"

Dramon X AI shouted. "Christina, don't listen to him!" He used Instant Movement to get in front of Zeed X. He reached out to grab the crystals, but Zeed X moved back.

"I don't think so, Kensuke! Finder's keepers!" Zeed X taunted.

"They weren't yours to begin with!" Dramon X AI roared as Zeed X fired a mouth beam at him.

In an instant, Dramon X AI was behind Zeed X. The anomalous being blinked for a second and was bombarded with a barrage of delayed physical blows. Zeed X's body exploded while the impact blows pulverized him like no tomorrow. However, Zeed X still managed to hold the crystals.

"Heh… nice try… but you still haven't pried these crystals from my hands." Zeed X turned as he witnessed a white flash of light envelop Dramon X AI.

"Ken!" Glacialis Sedna cried out to her brother.

"Uncle Ken's glowing!" ArcticOphanimon X shouted.

"Damn him…" Metalla X scowled and clenched his fists.

Beerusmon and Champamon were shocked by this.

"Can this be, brother?"

Beerusmon snarled. "Yes, that's Ascendancy Instinct!"

Whismon added, becoming intrigued. "And I pegged our Taichi to pull this off."

Omega X (DF-616 Prime) keenly eyed Dramon X AI. "I never would've imagined a power like this. I don't think my War God Mode quite matches up."

Zeed X scoffed. "Sorry, but you're not finishing your 'oh so grandiose' moment! You've had far too many of those!" He flew at Dramon X AI.

As Zeed X gained closer, Dramon X AI's B.A.X. Digivice glowed and released his two remaining Digimon: Digmon and Submarimon.

"Ken, you keep that transformation going! We'll hold him off!" Submarimon called out.

"Yeah, we about to open a can of whoop-ass on Zeed X and walk it dry, son!" Digmon readied his drills.

"Getting so desperate you're sending your last pets to their graves!" Zeed X shouted.

"How about I stick this middle drill up yo sorry carcass?!" Digmon flipped him his equivalent of the finger: the 'drill'.

They blocked Zeed X from preventing Kensuke's perfected Ascendancy Instinct. As Digmon and Submarimon threw themselves at Zeed X, the anomalous being effortlessly blasted them. Both Digimon sacrificed themselves for their partner. Before going out in a blaze of glory, the Digimon laughed in Zeed X's face. "You're not getting the satisfaction of our deaths!"

Half expecting to be amused, Zeed X got annoyed instead as well as unnerved by the situation. Are you kidding me?! Two ARMOR level Digimon are blocking my attacks?! That laughing is getting annoying as well! Soon the two Digimon exploded into pieces. "Finally, I'm the only one allowed to troll… ACK!"

Before he could finish, the white-haired, armored Dramon X AI shot forward and punched Zeed X's gut hard. As Zeed X doubled over, he forced Zeed X to let go of the crystals. The Accel Ascendant grabbed them both safely.

"Hell yeah! He's got our crystals back!" Neo Frigg cheered.

Glacialis Sedna happily cried out. "Brother! That was incredible!"

Neo-Queen Serenity called out. "Now bring them to us!"

(Cue Primal Fear - The End is Near)

Suddenly, Dramon X AI ripped his armor off, and literally stabbed both the Silver Crystal and Moon Force Crystal into his bare arms as he fixed Zeed X with an intense glare. "You'll pay for what you did! You'll die! OVER AND OVER AGAIN!" This surprised the crystal users, Zeed X, and everyone else. A burst of energy manifested throughout Dramon X AI's body that the Zero Factor inside him started to become completely purified. The power within the Accel Ascendant is further magnified, to the point where the entire dimension shook. A most unsettling laugh started coming from Ken's mouth. The pain ripped through his body as lightning bolts flew about; each one was capable of tearing up dimensional fabrics.

Zeed X started to sweat at seeing this. "How is this possible? Magic is one of the Ascendant's weaknesses like Superman! It should have instantly killed Kenny, but his willpower is beyond the impossible!" A lightning bolt crashed near him. "Holy shi… ok that's it!" Zeed X fired blasts at Dramon X AI, but to his dismay they were dispersed before impact. "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!"

Nexus of Time and Space

"I have to admit. I didn't see this one coming," Slade muttered as the other Young Guns convened with him.

"Indeed, he found a way to surpass the Zero Factor," Darkstar noted.

"And to think that was holding back his full strength," Blazer noted as they continued to watch.

"You know we're likely going to need to help them restore all the damage, you know what that means?" Slade sighed at Kiva's suggestion.

"Really was hoping we'd never need to use those again, it's a pain the ass to hunt them down..." A shockwave came from inside. "But it can not be helped."

xxxxxx

Several other dimensions felt the shockwaves, most notably YYGDM-01, DF-616, XLR-8, the Cornerverse, SM-A1, and Crystal Tokyo 97330; more so than others.

"I'm getting Yagami flashbacks!" Metalla X called out as Ken's behavior during all of this was very similar to how Yagami powered up.

Eventually, his face tore apart and his body erupted in a flash of light that knocked all nearby back. When the light died down, Dramon X's body changed again. Dramon X AI was still in his AI form, but now his power suit seemed to be akin to Veemon's body rather than AlforceVeedramon's. He had a large crystal dragon wing protruding from his right side, but the most notable feature was that his restraints were gone, and it was easy to tell his Zero Factor had been purified.

"KEN!" Glacialis Sedna, Angemon X, and ArcticOphanimon X yelled out in unison.

"So, that curse has been purged. He's been purified at long last," Tempus Pluto VM said.

CyberTitaniamon lowered her head. "Your sacrifices weren't in vain, Digmon and Submarimon."

Needless to say, Zeed X wasn't happy about the situation. "You motherfucker!" He charged at Dramon X AI, only to get intercepted and have his face and nose bashed in without a moment's warning, black blood and ethereal saliva came flying out as he recoiled back. "THE HELL?!"

"Next time, I'm gunning for your skull, and I'm gonna hit you so hard the pieces that break from it will shoot out through your crotch and destroy your balls!"

Many became flabbergasted by this vocal threat, knowing full well he could carry it out.

"What else are you going to do to me?!" Zeed X said as he fixed his nose and stopped the bleeding, but the damage done to his mouth was beyond repair as he spits out his broken teeth.

"Your answer is what won't I do to you, because as a wise genie once said, 'it's 'AMAZING' what you can live through!'" He said as he charged at Zeed X again, only this time Toppomon and Jirenmon got in the way. "So the caped baldy rejects want to fight, too, huh?!" Charging into both of them, a huge explosion of power released and sent all four flying back.

Beerusmon angrily scowled over these developments. "This cannot be real. I refuse to accept this. I should be the one to end Zeed X!"

Whismon sighed. "What's done is done. With our Taichi gone, this is one of our sure best bets to stop Zeed X."

Dramon X AI tossed the crystals back to Neo-Queen Serenity and Neo Frigg. Thankfully, the after effects did not corrupt the crystals, but rather empowered them to support their users.

"Incredible, my crystal's gotten stronger!" Neo Frigg examined her glowing crystal.

"And they're not even tainted! We can definitely fight Zeed X with them!" Neo-Queen Serenity became elated by her empowered crystal.

As he recovered, Zeed X powered up. A black aura wisped over him, sending immense shockwaves that rattled the universe's dimension fabrics.

"I'm not done yet!" Zeed X hissed. "Kensuke, this is the last straw for you and your friends! Jirenmon, Toppomon, we're finishing this!"

Quickly becoming Super Ascendant Blue, Metalla X boasted. "Hey, Zeed X, there's more than just Ken you gotta worry about! I'm still here!"

The other YYGDM-01 leaders and heroes stood ready to fight. Houou Mars channeled her white flames and few into the air.

"Can't believe this could be it for us. Well, if we're going down, we'll go down fighting!" Guilkatomon declared.

Omega X (DF-616 Prime) turned and nodded to Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) and Saitou. "We've got nothing to lose now. It's now or never."

Powering up to Super Ascendant Blue, Max stood ready to fight. "Shame you have to miss this out, Tai… wherever you are now… I hope we don't let you down."

Omega X (DF-616)'s Mindscape

(Cue Dead Can Dance - How Fortunate The Man With None)

Opening their eyes, Tai Kamiya and Agumon awoke in a spaceless and ominous void. They cleared their heads as they scanned their new surroundings. They sensed an ancient and ethereal essence running through this plane of existence. It was nothing like any divine realm they've been sent to before.

"Tai?"

"Agumon, where are we?"

"You're asking me?"

"Good point. So, what could this place be?" Tai wondered until he realized what had happened before. "Wait, didn't we… die?!" He looked over himself. "Yeah, we both got caught in our Life Bomb! That should've killed us!"

Agumon pointed to his head. "I don't feel a halo on me and you don't have one either!"

"Then, that means we're not dead?"

"You kind of are and aren't. I've taken you two into a realm between the fine lines of life and death," a newcomer's voice interjected, sounding divine. The voice also had a resonant tone to it.

When the duo turned, their eyes were met with Takeru Cage. Both had baffled looks as they came face to face with the owner of the Across Conventions theme park.

"Whoa, it's Mr. Cage!" Agumon exclaimed.

"Takeru Cage… I mean, Mr. Cage, what are you doing here?" Tai asked him.

"Welcome, Taichi Kamiya and Agumon of universe DF-616, otherwise designated as Delta Fusion Dash Six One Six," Takeru replied in a language uncharacteristic of the man, at least from their point of view.

"Um, ok… don't know what that means, but ok," the confused Bearer of Courage replied.

"It's the universe you're both from," Takeru reminded. "Do you two need a refresher course in dimensional coordinates?"

"No, we know. We were just testing ya."

Takeru gave a straight face to the Bearer of Courage's dry remark. "Sure. Now, to answer your plainly obvious question, 'why am I here?' Well, what if I told you I'm not really the Takeru Cage you know from the Across Conventions theme park?" With that, 'Takeru' shapeshifted into a formless void of white light.

Upon seeing this, Tai and Agumon dropped into fighting stances. They watched the white light hovering around them.

"Takeru Cage is merely an avatar as a means to communicate with you. In fact, the real Takeru Cage is currently in universe-Corner Prime protecting the borders from Zeed X's coming omnicidal onslaught." The void spoke with Tai and Agumon.

As the void shifted behind Tai, the Bearer of Courage instinctively punched at it. His fist seemingly went through the void.

"What were you hoping to accomplish doing that, Taichi Kamiya. Or, should I call you Omega X?"

"Ok, so you know me, but I don't know you. If you aren't Takeru, then who or what are you?"

"I am one but am also of many. I am omnipotent. I am omnipresent. I am omniscient. My presence exists throughout the omniverse. I oversee the omniverse from this position. I am the Overseer."

Both replied in bewilderment. "The Overseer?"

"I am the one who lays the foundation of the multiverse you and your compatriots refer to the Nexus. I am the one who gave conception to aspects such as Cosmos and Chaos, also known as Order and Disorder. I'm the one who appointed Lady Cosmos to be the arbitrator of the Nexus. Chaos exists solely to not only bring about destruction, but serve as a balance to the life Cosmos is sworn to protect."

"Yeah, I think I got all that…" the big-haired young man lied to himself. "Not."

"I am also the guardian of the Source."

"The Source?" Agumon asked in confusion.

"And just what is the Source?" Tai queried the white matter.

"We are inside it. This is the central core that exists outside the Nexus and the Æther Sea. Think of the Source that we're standing in as one giant sphere. Floating around it are smaller spheres, which are all the dimensions. These smaller spheres are the Prime dimensions. Each of these Prime spheres themselves contains smaller spheres that consist of the Prime's alternate timelines and realities."

"Right now, my friends are fighting that Zeed X bastard in that Digimon Prime dimension where the original me exists and his life is in danger!" Tai reminded the all-seeing, all-knowing entity.

"Yes, that anomaly has been causing destruction to various realities and dimensions in Chaos's absence. He's been quite ambitious, but this isn't the first time he's committed himself to unleash omniversal destruction. This is only the Original Millenniummon's 9th regenerative cycle."

"This guy's regenerated nine times?!" Agumon exclaimed.

"Indeed, his origins started since the beginnings of time itself. Back then, he wasn't even known as Millenniummon. It wasn't until he died and entering his fourth regenerative cycle he was reborn from a DNA Fusion between a Kimeramon and a Machinedramon. It was then he became the monster you know as Millenniummon. With his power of temporal regeneration, he used the Digimon Multiverse as a reason to continue existing."

"Who was Millenniummon before?" Tai was almost afraid to ask.

"A Time Demon that threatened time and space. He is the last of his race and most powerful. He was known as Xeed then. His sole purpose was merely to destroy realities he deemed weak and unnecessary. There was nothing to stop Xeed until a time warrior with the potential to destroy Xeed was trained by Cosmos and Chaos. That warrior would be Ryo Akiyama's first predecessor."

"And now we have a bunch of Ryos running about the Nexus these days," Agumon said.

"But this one was the original. And it's been since then, Ryo and Millenniummon have been caught in an endless conflict after every cycle. No matter how many times Ryo and his predecessors have defeated him, they still couldn't kill the Time Demon permanently. Xeed has only managed ways to regenerate into a new cycle. Each regeneration brings a few face and personality, but his omnicidal desires remained. He has taken on various forms throughout his cycles: be it just Millenniummon, Moon=Millenniummon, ZeedMillenniummon, Zeed, and now Zeed X. He's even possessed bodies and ultimately he over Ryo Akiyama of universe DF-616 Prime, changing into the Zeed X form you've faced now."

"Ok, so he's been beaten before. That means he isn't invulnerable," Tai said. "But, you also said so yourself, Ryo Akiyama and his predecessors have been the only ones to beat and subdue this monster. I'm not Ryo. I'm not going to beat this guy on my own."

"Do you remember what you said before?"

"What did I say?"

The Overseer showed them a moment of time not long ago during Omega X's scuffle with Zeed X. It was when the Ascendant noticed Zeed X exhibiting disturbing emotions.

Omega X threw a punch at Zeed X, who teleported behind him. "Looks like absorbing your Ryo Akiyama gave you human flaws and insecurities. By taking in human qualities, not only did you take the strengths but weaknesses of one. By showing any hint of fear, it shows you're becoming human. And I bet you bleed like one, too!" He threw a punch, which Zeed X easily dodged.

However, Omega X's knuckle slid off Zeed X's cheek and inflicted a tiny cut on him. Zeed X saw a small cut with blackish blood dripping out.

"There. I'm right. If can you bleed, you can die," Omega X smirked, exposing a weakness in the anomalous being.

The Overseer closed off that momentary exchange that revealed Zeed X's human flaws he gained after absorbing Ryo (DF-616 Prime).

"Yeah, I remember that, but I only did that to throw his game off. Y'know a like psychological distraction to get him to drop his guard."

"But, you were onto something, Taichi Kamiya. Being an experienced fighter up to now, you've exploited the new human flaws Zeed X inherited by taking universe DF-616 Prime Ryo's body. He thought by absorbing Ryo he could get eliminate his weakness, but in the end…"

"His own hubris caused him to do this thinking he could get rid of his weakness for good, but Zeed X's become his own worst enemy."

Agumon added. "That's just self-destructive on his part!"

"Precisely. The being formerly Xeed is on the path of self-destruction and even he's well aware. He's been on this destructive path because he knows this may very well be his final cycle. He's gone through such immense lengths to become opposite to Cosmos and take after Chaos in bringing his view of 'balance' to the multiverse. He's even pushed to have the likes of the Bearer of Unity, Kensuke Rainer, to become his tool of destruction in order to find someone strong enough to destroy him. Your universe and others like universe YYGDM-01 have gotten his attention as of late. With the number of growing powers in these two universes, he assumed there'd be someone who'd be strong enough to end his cycle."

"Yet, me and my friends couldn't put him down with that universal Life Bomb," the Bearer of Courage stated.

"No, that wouldn't be nearly enough, Taichi. And since he's convinced no one can end him, he's seeking to move into his next and tenth cycle."

"But, wouldn't he need to die to do that?" Agumon asked. "We couldn't even kill him with the Life Bomb!"

The Overseer answered. "For the next regenerative cycle, Zeed X intends to seek out the Source. And he intends to enter the Galaxy Cauldron where many others have tried and failed to tamper with the Source in order to initiate his next cycle back to his original form, Xeed. No, he intends to become an evolved form of his original self: an Omniversal Xeed."

"So, evolve into a higher being and seek to rule the entire omniverse?"

"Considering his nature has always been about destruction, I doubt it. Xeed has never sought conquest. However, with the human traits he's gained after absorbing DF-616 Prime's Ryo, his mind has become warped with new concepts, including the idea of conquest. He will intend to reboot the entire omniverse, install himself as the sole creator, and permanently end his death and regenerative cycles. Also by tampering with the source, he looks to purge the Ryo he absorbed out from him and purify himself into his original form."

"Answer this. If we somehow destroy Zeed X, will the other Millenniummons die as well?" Tai asked.

"No, whether Xeed perishes for good or not, his spawn will remain. The other Ryos in the omniverse will have to deal with them on their own."

"Well, that sucks…" The Bearer of Courage sighed as he sadly smiled. "I guess that's it then. We're are dead. We can't go back and help our friends. They're all fighting the Big Daddy Millenniummon and are probably gonna all die. If the biggest Life Bomb I ever made couldn't beat him, what can?"

Agumon nodded, "No, we can't give up, Tai. We never give up."

The Overseer was silent for a moment until he spoke again. "Taichi, I know you were a witness to Kensuke Rainer's recent awakening."

"Recent awakening?"

"The white cloak of light shrouding him and his hair becoming silver."

"I always thought that was just Ken tapping into his full Ascendant God power?"

"No, that wasn't Ascendant God power. It's the ultimate status of one's mental state. Kensuke was only and finally able to achieve this with the Zero Factor purged from his body. Do you remember Whismon's teachings to you and your friend Yamato?"

"Yeah? How we should be able to move and adapt during the heat of battle. Whismon dodged all our attacks. We've been implementing that into our fighting styles, though I still kinda let my guard down at times. Wait… I did see Kensuke dodging that Jirenmon guy's attacks! I was wondering what level of power he reached! What was that power he achieved?"

"Ascendancy Instinct, a similar variation of the technique called Ultra Instinct."

Agumon curiously asked. "Ascendancy Instinct? You mean, we could achieve that, too?"

"Had you survived the death experience by gambling on the Life Bomb, then yes."

"But, we didn't survive and now we won't have that power," Tai (DF-616) sighed, feeling helpless.

"Never say never."

"I get you're trying to pacify us, but with all the Digicores inactive, there's no chance of any more revivals."

"I can not only revive you two, but grant you the power you were meant to have."

"You'd do that?!" Tai became flabbergasted by the omnipotent being's generous negotiation.

"Not only can I, I will. I can even grant you Ascendancy Instinct without the limits it'd place on your body. However, I'm only giving you this power to use once. After this, the power will expire. Should you ever need it again, you'll have to find a way and earn it on your own."

Upon hearing this, Tai and Agumon exchanged excited looks.

"You hear that, Tai?!"

"How can we even pass up that offer? Without the limitations?! But, wait…" Tai turned to the Overseer. "But, you said I can only use it once? And you're also saying I'd have to find a way to earn it on my own? Could I do it?"

"If the Bearer of Unity, Kensuke, can, then there's no you can if you put your mind to it. And you've shown time after time again, you've achieved what many mortals, including other Ascendants, consider impossible. You're a man amongst the other Taichi Yagami/Kamiyas I've ever seen. Only the Taichi from Delta Fusion Dash Six One Six Prime can match up to your prowess."

"I have another question," Tai said. "Are we really fictional characters being written and dictated to do the things the plot requires us?"

"If I say yes, will you go out there and beat the ever living crap out of Xeed for me?"

Agumon is taken aback. "Whoa, sass much?"

"Taichi, what I just did would be classified as a big Deus Ex Machina moment. That's often frowned upon in fiction, but in this case, this is one of the exceptions. Xeed cannot be allowed to tamper with the Source and purge every form of fiction that brings out imagination for people trying to cope in the dark and grim reality they call real-life. By getting rid of fiction, you remove escapism from reality. Xeed wants to do away with it in order to ensure his own survival and end his cycles. So, go and make it worth everyone's while."

With that, the Overseer's white aura spread over to Tai and Agumon. Both were engulfed in white light. Both felt the divine energies entering their bodies and augmenting their mortal forms.

"Understand though. In exchange for me unlocking your full Ascendancy Instinct potential, there must come a price."

"What is it?" Tai asked as the color in his eyes turned solid silver.

The Overseer muttered sentences that only Tai and Agumon could interpret.

"What? You mean…?" Tai asked.

The Overseer replied. "Yes."

"For my friends and family…" Tai stopped as he turned to Agumon. "I mean, for our friends and family." He grabbed Agumon's hand as the white light coalesced with the flaring Crest of Courage orange beams shooting out of their chests. The divine light and Crest of Courage energies combined, turning them back to Omega X.

"It's time. Now go, Ascendant of Courage."

Dimension: DVT-98

(Cue Dragon Ball Super - A Tough Battle)

Returning to the main battlefield, most of the heroes are already battered and beaten by the trio of adversaries. Not even the deities are enough as they have been bound by Zeed X's power. Whismon, Vadosmon, Moinanea, Ultimate Madoka, Devil Homura, Neo-Queen Serenity, and Houou Mars were all sealed inside impenetrable barriers. Only a very few like Dramon X AI are still standing.

After making short work of his enemies, Zeed X found Taichi (DVT-98) and teleported to him. He one-shotted and knocked down Zero.

"Zero!" Taichi (DVT-98) called and rushed to his Veedramon partner.

Wasting no further time, Zeed X seized Taichi (DVT-98)'s throat and lifted him up. Knowing he is holding the victim hostage, the heroes can't do anything.

"Too bad you failed to protect the Prime source of Digiverses." Zeed X evilly smirked and prepared to erase his victim's existence with the palm of his hand. "Now I shall be his executioner."

"STOP! DON'T…!" Max pleaded.

Finally blasting his way out of the ground, Dramon X AI shot out and caught Zeed X strangling Taichi (DVT-98). He prepared to intervene and stop Zeed altogether. Suddenly, he just paused and sensed an energy presence spike out of nowhere.

Both Beerusmon and Champamon sprang up from their beatdown and raced to intercept Zeed X.

(End theme)

As Zeed X is about to exterminate Taichi (DVT-98), a Death Beam struck through Zeed X's chest, forcing the anomalous figure to put Taichi (DVT-98) down. Dramon X AI used this time to fly over and grab Taichi (DVT-98), pulling him away from Zeed X. Zeed X immediately turned to see Golden Burizalor arrive on the battlefield.

"No freakin' way…" Yusuke couldn't believe it.

"Where the hell did he come from?!" Guilkatomon exclaimed.

"B-B-Burizalor?!" Metalla X shouted.

"This is their Burizalor…" Omega X (DF-616 Prime) gritted, glaring down the golden-skinned tyrant.

Both Jirenmon and Toppomon noticed Golden Burizalor come out of hiding. As they went to stop him, Zeed X beckoned them off.

"It's that creep… again…" Taichi (DVT-98) coughed, rubbing his neck.

"Burizalor, you're a fool to take them on!" Metalla X chastised him.

"What can he possibly do?" Ultimate Madoka couldn't believe it.

"Nothing good," Devil Homura muttered sardonically.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Unwinnable Battle)

Zeed X faced off with Golden Burizalor, who was still looking worse for wear after the anomalous one blasted him away.

"Well, isn't this a surprise! Somehow, you're still alive after your co-partners perished and you escaped death not once, but twice. I must give you props, digital tyrant," Zeed X casually clapped.

Golden Burizalor panted, holding up his finger ready to fire another Death Beam. "So, what if you're the most powerful force in the omniverse… I am Lord Burizalor! And I no longer take orders from you! But, most of all.. NO ONE DENIES ME THIS KILL!" He aimed and pointed his Death Beam finger toward Taichi (DVT-98).

Zeed X persuaded him. "You really don't want to do that. Besides, with all the wounds you've got, your shot will be slow enough for me to stop. Don't even try it. Fine, fuck it. Do it. See what happens."

Looking between Taichi (DVT-98) and Zeed X, Burizalor tried to decide his targets. What did he want more: to kill Taichi Prime and purge every gogglehead in the Nexus, or regain whatever pride he has left by turning against Zeed X?

"Well, the clock's a ticking, tyrant…"

Golden Burizalor's smirk then turned into an angry scowl. "I've decided!" He raised both hands and conjured a big Death Ball. He laughed out loud. "How about I destroy YOU, my former master?! I'll take you and everyone else with me!"

"Oh shi-!" Max screamed. "Everyone, get back!"

Metalla X roared, grabbing Rose(mon) X. "The bastard's just about lost his mind!"

"If he gets himself killed, it's fewer problems for us," Angemon X remarked.

"Yeah, but we're then left with Zeed X. I'd rather us deal with Burizalor than him," Glacialis Sedna regretted what he said.

Beerusmon growled. "You're a fool, Burizalor! You're going to get us all killed! Namely me!"

Champamon grabbed Beerusmon. "Do you always think of yourself first, brother?!"

The YYGDM-01 leaders and Houou Mars prepared to stop Golden Burizalor, but the Death Ball expanded until it grew ten times his own size. Dramon X AI grabbed Taichi (DVT-98) and Veedramon (DVT-98). He teleported them out of harm's way.

"You have nowhere to run, Zeed X!" Golden Burizalor shouted.

"You're a fool, emperor."

"Now, I'll purge you out of existence once and for all!" Golden Burizalor tossed the Death Ball at Zeed X. The tyrant laughed maniacally, having completely snapped.

However, Zeed X used his essokinesis powers to instantly dissolve the Death Ball into nothingness, shocking Golden Burizalor.

Taking advantage of Golden Burizalor's dismayed state, Zeed X's face then changed to Freeza's. But, he spoke with a crude, elderly grandmother voice, "Heh heh heh heh heh. Freezalor is here to ruin the party! You didn't say please if you wanted to kill Prime Taichi so desperately like a little bitch!"

Golden Burizalor snapped out of his trance. "...WHAT IS THIS MOCKERY?! YOU DARE TO MOCK ME, LORD BURIZALOR?!" He launched straight at Zeed X. "I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE, I WILL MAKE YOU KNOW YOUR PLACE AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"

Zeed X shifted right in front of Golden Burizalor with ungodly speed. Overwhelmed with shock, Golden Burizalor left himself open for Zeed X to punch him hard in the gut. The tyrant doubled over, coughing spit and blood from his mouth. This was the worst imaginable pain he's ever felt his whole life. Zeed X then grabbed Golden Burizalor's face and smashed him through the earth below, carving out a path and creating a decent-sized crater.

Losing his Golden form, Burizalor was left lying at Zeed X's feet. He picked Burizalor by his head and crushed it so hard he made the tyrant scream in agony. Burizalor's face contorted in pain as painful screeches left his mouth.

"I could easily erase you, but why do that when I can have a little fun?" Zeed X chortled as he dropped the tyrant.

As Zeed X stomped on Burizalor's face with his foot, he grew hair like Taichi while retaining his Freeza face and granny voice, alongside Freeza's 'tail' grew out of his backside.

"Heh heh heh. Your hateful archnemesis is crushing you like a zit!" Zeed X evilly grinned as he used his 'tail' to touch Burizalor's cheeks. "Mind if I tickle you? Coochie coochie coo! Round and round the beastly monkey goes! If he should stop, then off with his nose! Aha ha ha!"

Zeed X's 'tail' then goes inside Burizalor's right ear, giving him a wet willy.

"AUGH!" Burizalor wailed.

"Oh, you don't like that, Freezalor? Well, how about this to clean your nails?!" Zeed X sadistically taunted while still using his brutish grandmotherly voice. He used his psychokinesis to rip out all of Burizalor's toenails and fingernails.

"AUGH! DAMN YOU, YOU BASTARD!"

Zeed X stomped on the tyrant and picked him up.

(End theme)

"Ok, I'm done playing with you, angry little emperor," Zeed X lifted Burizalor up and invoked a black aura to erase him.

Burizalor sputtered, spitting blood. "...you won't forget me…"

Zeed X added. "Oh, but they will." With that, he prepared to erase him.

As Burizalor closed his eyes, he heard a faint but loud voice ring in his head.

(Cue Dragon Ball Z - Perfect Cell Theme (The Enigma TNG Remix))

"Poor, pitiful Burizalor. Is this how you want your villainous legacy to end? On a bitch note?!"

"Wha… it can't… be…"

Zeed X blinked. "Hmm?"

"Looks like I'm gonna have to save your ass again, tyrant."

"But, you're dead…" Burizalor muttered.

"Why do people forget about these things called 'details'? Look on your right shoulder. See that glowing green glob? That's me. Well, my nucleus, but you get the point. Now, time for ultimate perfection to be reborn!"

Boom!

An explosion erupted from Burizalor. Then, an electrified wall of smoke materialized next to Burizalor.

Zeed X's face and voice turned back to normal. His Taichi hair and Freeza 'tail' disappeared.

"Hmm,, so you faked your death, bug man?" Zeed X remarked.

Burizalor stared at the veil of smoke subside, revealing Virus himself. Like before, he was in his 'Super Perfect' state based on the electrical sparks shooting from his aura, but his green armored skin was crimson. Virus raised his head and faced Zeed X. A self-confident smirk adorned the bio-artificial's features.

"VIRUS?!" Burizalor blanched.

"Heh, were you expecting Santa Claus, Burizalor?" Virus chortled, making light of the dire situation.

Celesta X HM immediately sensed Virus's power. "There's no mistake! That's Virus!"

WarAngemon gaped. "But, he's supposed to be dead!"

Metalla X rolled his eyes. "Oh joy, the perfect asshole's back."

"Love you, too, Yamakins," Crimson Virus sardonically expressed his 'respect' for Metalla X.

Max remarked. "Never count out that nucleus of his."

"Bingo," Virus overheard them. "Glad you remember that detail, Max Kamiya. Yes, as long as my nucleus remains intact, I can keep regenerating. After every regeneration, I get stronger thanks to those lovely Ascendant cells in me. Alas Yagami couldn't live to be with us."

"Ok, so you're red now. What do you call yourself?" asked Jax.

"Dear brother, you and your friends can call me, Crimson Virus. A shame sister couldn't be here to see me in my new glory." the egotistical bio-artificial announced his new evolution. "And with the power I've gained, I have achieved true ultimate perfection!" He clenched his fist and set his sights on Zeed X. "Now, all of you stand back. I'm going to take care of this eyesore."

Omega X (DF-616 Prime) growled. "What?! No, you're going to need some help!"

Crimson Virus nodded. "No need, other-Taichi. This one's on me. Free of charge."

Burizalor seethed. "No… no… NO! He's mine!"

Crimson Virus sighed. "You just can't let it go, can you? Your fight's over. Let me have a go at him."

"You're really full of it if you think you can take him on!" Angemon X chided the bio-artificial.

"Worry about protecting your woman and that cute kid of yours, Dimitri my boy," Crimson Virus said.

"Virus, wait! You can't beat him on your own!" Celesta X HM pleaded to him.

"I realize that, Hikari. And can I say you've grown into the formidable warrior like your brother," Crimson Virus gave his props to his nemesis. "I'd love nothing more than to have another go with you and show you my ultimate perfect power, but that's not what fate determined. In the end, you'll outlive me."

"So, you intend to go out…" Max realized.

"Even briefly, I'm happy to know I've reached my ultimate perfection and surpassed you, Hikari. Live with that for the rest of your life," Crimson Virus powered up, now with a red cloak instead of a golden one. "Hey, Mr. Clown Shoes, why don't you entertain me?!" He called out Zeed X and powered up, letting out a thunderous battle roar. "HAAAAA!" In his own mind, he heard the loud chorus of cheers and roars as if he were reliving his War Games event at an esports tournament event.

Crimson Virus flew head-on with the anomalous one.

Zeed X smiled and dodged Crimson Virus's punch. The anomalous one dodged and parried the bio-artificial's attacks. Zeed X casually threw blasts that blew apart Virus's body parts, but the crimson bio-artificial regenerated his limbs.

"Gonna have to do better than that, troll man!" Crimson Virus laughed. "You're facing the pinnacle of ultimate perfection!" He phased out and reappeared behind Zeed X. He went for a punch, but Zeed X vanished. "Ok, you want to play tag?! Well, tag you're it, bitch!" He tossed a Destructo Disc at Zeed X.

Zeed X stopped with the disc with one hand and nullified it. He flew at Crimson Virus and stretched his arm to grab him. Crimson Virus dodged and repelled him with his barrier.

"You think you're the only one who can taunt with his opponent? I've been doing this before you came around, amateur!" Crimson Virus tried his own head games with the master manipulator. He then used Instant Movement to get behind Zeed X. He reached for Zeed X, who teleported inside the crater again.

Burizalor barely crawled out from the crater. He watched Crimson Virus making his last stand against Zeed X.

"Don't you look pathetic, Burizalor?" Crimson Virus then put his hand out and donated energy to the tyrant. "C'mon, get up and fight with me. Maybe for the last time."

As Virus's energy entered Burizalor, the renewed tyrant gained a boost and powered up to his Golden state. All of his wounds are healed, including restoring his fingernails and toenails.

"Give me your energy? That's so Taichi-like of you."

"I have his DNA incorporated in me. Same with yours, Burizalor. Now get up here."

Golden Burizalor floated up next to Crimson Virus. The heroes couldn't believe what they were witnessing. Two of DF-616's biggest baddies were teaming up against Zeed X.

"Ready, Burizalor?!" Crimson Virus roared.

Golden Burizalor yelled out as he and Crimson Virus dive-bombed into Zeed X. The villainous duo unloaded a volley of blasts at Zeed X. Zeed X flew at them and fired a beam. Both Golden Burizalor and Crimson Virus flew into the air, luring Zeed X away. They attacked Zeed X with fisticuffs. Zeed X unleashed a wave, sending both villains crashing into the crater.

"Whoa, talk about surreal!" Neo-Queen Serenity exclaimed.

"If someone told me two villains would be fighting against our biggest bad ever, I'd say you're high," Houou Mars remarked. "I doubt even the Houou would've seen this coming."

"I can't believe this is even happening!" Jax was flabbergasted.

"No joke. I never saw this coming," BW said. "Virus concealed himself so well."

"Never in a million years would the bad guys be fighting for our survival," Max realized the irony. The fact Burizalor decided to turn on Zeed X and forego killing Taichi Prime is proof he sees value in our dimension. This doesn't mean he's gonna turn over a new leaf and become a good guy. That's just not him.

"YEAH! GO, BURIZALOR AND VIRUS!" Guilkatomon cheered, much to his friends' shock and dismay. "...um… heh… sorry, couldn't help it."

"Control those fanboy urges, Takato," Terryamon said.

"Yeah, please do," Renrukimon remarked.

"Heh, I can't blame him. I'd do the same," Neo Frigg added.

"Should've kept quiet, Takato," Dramon X AI mumbled as Jirenmon and Toppomon turned away from him. "Hey!"

As Crimson Virus and Golden Burizalor headed off Zeed X, Jirenmon and Toppomon intervened.

"You want some of this, Roger the Gray?" Crimson Virus asked Jirenmon as he flew straight at Jirenmon and unleashed a barrage of punches. "Or, do you prefer I call you, Mr. Clean?!" He teleported behind Jirenmon using Instant Movement. "Or, Go Go Steroid Ranger?!"

"Virus, quit messing around and beat him!" Golden Burizalor shouted as he blasted Toppomon with Death Beams.

The bio-artificial yelled. "If we're going out, we might as well make this something to remember!"

Jirenmon punched Crimson Virus back. Toppomon kicked Golden Burizalor away.

Boom!

Crimson Virus and Golden Burizalor crashed into a crater wall.

"I told you I can handle them myself," Zeed X scoffed. He raised a hand and conjured a multi-colored sphere. "So, which one of you wants to go first?"

(End theme)

Smirking, Crimson Virus floated out of the wall. In an act of defiance, he faced down Zeed X. He cupped his hands together and conjured a red ball of Ki instead of blue.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - A Secret Plan With One's Life on the Line)

"Fool, what do you think this will accomplish?" Golden Burizalor scoffed, prying himself off the crater wall.

Crimson Virus smirked. "Nothing, but it gives you a chance to live and reflect on your transgressions. Not that I expect you to end your evil ways. After all, I'd know because I am partly you."

"Let me live? And you're going…"

Crimson Virus focused and made his ki ball bigger.

"..well damn. You're a bigger man than I am," Golden Burizalor remarked. "But, don't think you can take this glory from me!" As he joined in and powered up his Death Beam.

"Are you two has-beens ready to go? Any last words?" Zeed X asked.

Feeling something in the air, Crimson Virus chuckled. "Yes, he's coming." With that, he launched his Crimson Tsunami Wave, firing it toward Zeed X.

At the exact same time, Golden Burizalor shot his Death Beam. Their attacks collided with Zeed X's Millennia Epilogue. The villainous duo didn't relent to the anomalous one's finishing attack. At that moment, Crimson Virus kicked Golden Burizalor out of the crater.

"Heh, whoops my bad," Crimson Virus laughed as he pushed back against Zeed X, who wasn't even trying.

"Virus, you sneaky bastard!" Golden Burizalor shouted. "How dare you rob me of this!"

As he faced Zeed X, all Crimson Virus could see was Celesta X HM firing her Holy Terra Beam; the exact one that destroyed him years ago. That was enough to fuel his valor and pushed his power further, but nowhere near enough to beat Zeed X.

As the Millennia Epilogue engulfed him, Crimson Virus resigned to his fate.

Yes, now I can perish satisfied to have reached my ultimate perfection. I have surpassed Datamon's expectations. Hikari, I hope you remember this well! And Taichi… "HE'S ALL YOURS, KAMIYA!"

(End theme)

Upon erasing Crimson Virus, Zeed X purged yet another victim.

Then, with absolute great timing…

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - The Final Death-Match)

Boom!

An immense beam of white light blasted the ground where Crimson Virus used to be. Zeed X, Jirenmon, and Toppomon were thrown off by a blinding flash of light. Inside this pillar, a familiar figure rose. Everyone watching was overwhelmed with shock and elation.

The figure inside was none other than Omega X.

Jirenmon blinked, feeling being drawn to Omega X. Zeed X noticed this and faced Omega X.

"Impossible… you're dead…" Zeed X gasped. "No, you perished. I saw your body and soul eradicated in that spirit ball of yours."

"TAI?!" Celesta X HM screamed out to her revived brother.

"No way, it's really Tai and Agumon! They're back!" WarAngemon was taken aback by Omega X's return. "Wait, did Virus know…? He must've sensed him coming the moment he was destroyed!"

"Tai… DAD!" Max became elated to see the Ascendant back. But, how's this possible without any Digicores?!

"Grunkle Tai is back! Yay!" ArcticOphanimon X cheered loudly and happily.

"But, how…? Tai!" Angemon X wondered.

"We'll worry about that later. TAI!" Glacialis Sedna called out to Omega X.

"Way to rebound from death, Tai!" Guilkatomon exclaimed until he had to pause and realize what he said. "But, wait. Are you really dead or alive?!"

Yusuke blinked. "Maybe he turned out like me?"

"What? Like revived into a full demon?" Yugi remarked

Hearing this from Yusuke, Omega X (DF-616 Prime) stood up and acknowledged Omega X's reemergence.

"Oh, he hasn't reawakened into a Digi-Mazoku. This is something even more divine and grander…" Omega X (DF-616 Prime) vaguely hinted.

Although initially flabbergasted, Metalla X smiled ironically. "Didn't take you long to come back, you damn bastard."

Rose(mon) X teared up happily. "Tai… Agumon… welcome back."

"We're glad you're back," Ultimate Madoka nodded as if her prayers were answered.

"Lord Beerusmon. This has to be the working of the One." Whismon addressed the Digital God of Destruction.

"The One who oversees all?" Beerusmon vaguely said.

The angel nodded. "Indeed, the One Above All. The One that monitors the Source. The Overseer."

As Omega X straightened his body, his white aura flared in a similar fashion to Dramon X AI. Zeed X growled and threw a punch at Omega X.

Much to his surprise, Omega X vanished and reappeared behind him. Zeed X was baffled by this. He went on the attack and unloaded a barrage of punches. Omega X instinctively dodged as if reading Zeed X's moves like an open book.

Bam!

Omega X gut punched Zeed X and made the anomalous one double over. He felt a similar pain when Dramon X AI decked him.

"GET HIM!" Zeed X ordered Jirenmon and Toppomon.

Both Digital Pride Troopers rushed Omega X. Before they could reach him, Omega X vanished and reappeared behind them. He casually walked toward Zeed X, who flew out of the crater.

"TAKE THIS!" Zeed X roared, seething and losing it. He tossed a Millennia Epilogue at Omega X.

As the attack closed in, Omega X's white aura flared brighter. His hair turned completely white. His eyes turned silver.

Boom!

The attack connected and seemingly erased Omega X from existence again.

However, that wasn't the case at all.

Zeed X turned to see Omega X holding the Millennia Epilogue in one hand. A clear ethereal aura surrounded Omega X. Clenching his hand, the Ascendant nullified Zeed X's attack with Hakai-like energy. Zeed X quickly turned and threw a punch, which Omega X dodged and pounced over.

Boom!

Zeed X was knocked back by the Ascendant's aura. However, in that instant, Omega X hit him with millions of strikes that Zeed X couldn't see coming. Omega X's aura had enough power to undo the barriers containing Whismon, Vadosmon, Moinanea, Ultimate Madoka, Devil Homura, Neo-Queen Serenity, and Houou Mars.

Everyone watching stood in awe. Even the Gods of Destruction, the angels, and Moinanea stood. Omega X (DF-616 Prime) was in awe of his counterpart's new ascension.

Zeed X launched himself at Omega X. Omega X saw him coming a mile away and put an arm out. Zeed X seemingly went through him. As Omega X walked forward, Zeed X's body exploded and contorted as if being pummeled by millions of unseen strikes. The impact of the attack was enough to send Zeed X flying far back.

Omega X turned his silver eyes to where Zeed X was. The aura covering him like a shell started crumbling into pieces. His glowing white hair faded and became silver.

Initially shocked, Dramon X AI smiled over this development. "So, you achieved it, too. Well done, Tai."

"Whismon," Beerusmon said.

"Yes?"

"Taichi's actually reached it, hasn't he?"

"Yes, but not on his own. This certainly seems like divine intervention beyond my foresight."

Beerusmon smiled. "Regardless, what an incredible guy Taichi is. This form. This magnificent glow. That… that is indeed the perfected…" He briefly looked at Dramon X AI.

"Brother, I know you aren't happy with the other guy achieving the perfected form," Champamon said. "But, can't we just be happy we have two of them?"

Beerusmon resigned to this reality. "I suppose, but it's Taichi I'm most happy for. What we're looking at is the perfected Ascendancy Instinct!"

Omega X, bathed in an ethereal divine aura of silver and blue consisting of fire-like energy, glared down Zeed X, who stood. His silver hair was wilder and solid than normal. The shape of his eyes, sporting silver irises and visible pupils, took on a steely look. The glow in the Ascendant's eyes shimmered. The Crest of Courage symbol glowed and became emblazoned on his chest.

Out of the YYGDM-01 leaders, Neo Frigg took careful notice of Omega X Ascendancy Instinct.

"Kotori? What's wrong?" Neo-Queen Serenity asked the Valkyrie.

"Nothing, just that he looks so badass," Neo Frigg marveled at Omega X AI. She remembered briefly seeing the Cornerverse Omega X using the very same Ascendancy Instinct in the fight against Ultimate Grimhilde. However, that Cornerverse Omega X's Ascendancy Instinct power paled in comparison to Omega X AI's strength.

(End theme)

(Cue Dragon Ball Super - Ultimate Battle/Ultra Instinct (Ka Ka Kachi Daze))

Dramon X AI and Omega X (DF-616 Prime) landed beside Omega X AI. The trio had their eyes locked on Zeed X, Jirenmon, and Toppomon. Neither side said anything. Not even Zeed X had any witty retorts to make.

Zeed X nodded and beckoned the Digital Pride Troopers to attack.

"Come on!" Omega X roared. An aura shaped like Omegamon exploded behind him.

With that, Omega X (DF-616 Prime) powered back up to his War God Mode. He and Omega X AI ran toward Zeed X. Dramon X AI engaged Jirenmon and Toppomon. As the two behemoths threw punches at Dramon X AI, he dodged their blows and knocked Toppomon back. Dramon X AI was left to fight with Jirenmon.

The YYGDM-01 leaders, Houou Mars, Metalla X, and Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) headed off to keep Toppomon away from the fights.

"There's a chance we can purge whatever Zeed X's using to control this one!" Neo-Queen Serenity said, taking out her Silver Crystal.

"Allow me and the Houou to do it!" Houou Mars summoned her new white flames, which formed into her phoenix cloak.

"Hey, you Lorax-looking motherfucker! Over here!" Metalla X flew at Toppomon.

"No, over here!" Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) yelled out.

As Toppomon prepared to attack them, the Metalla X duo quickly phased out. They reappeared on Toppomon's opposite ends. Metalla X readily had a charged ball of energy in his palms. Likewise, Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) formed an energy ball in his hands. Metalla X fired off his Cocytus Blast in conjunction with Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) unleashing his Final Shine Attack. Both beams collided and dealt some damage to Toppomon.

At the same time, Guilkatomon amassed a white fiery ball and fired a white variation of his Hazard Wave, which for this occasion was augmented into an Instinctive Hazard Wave. Neo Frigg fired a stronger Aesir Kamehameha, which became Instinctive Aesir Kamehameha. KaiserGreymon raised his sword and unleashed his Instinctive Pyro Dragons. Yusuke readily fired his strongest attack: the Instinctive Spirit Gun. Yugi and his Dark Magician duo cast their strongest spell attack: Instinctive Magic Attack. Glacialis Sedna drew out her Dragon Saber, imbuing it with her Light Legacy and borrowed Ascendancy Instinct powers to send an Instinctive Icicle Barrage. Neo-Queen Serenity then used her Silver Crystal and imbued the borrowed Ascendancy Instinct powers to subdue Toppomon.

After these attacks completely subdue and put Toppomon down, Houou Mars got behind the behemoth. She put her hands on his back and unleashed her white Houou cloak, which entered Toppomon's body and purged Zeed X's corruption out of him. As a result, Toppomon powered down out of his God of Destruction form.

Once the evil glow in his eyes faded, Toppomon came to and scanned his surroundings in confusion.

"Where… where am I?" Toppomon asked.

"You were captured and put under control by that guy over there!" Guilkatomon pointed toward Zeed X.

"Not only you, but he captured your friend there!" Neo-Queen Serenity said. "He sent you two to fight us."

"Us forced to fight and kill other heroes? This is unforgivable!" Toppomon fumed over being used like a puppet.

"It's not too late to save your friend, but we better hurry before one of our friends ends up killing him," Houou Mars said, watching Jirenmon and Dramon X AI going all out.

"Jirenmon's reaching for his maximum strength! He must be stopped!" Toppomon exclaimed.

"Yeah, believe us. We've already seen your guy go all out already and nearly destroyed the whole dimension we were in before," Neo Frigg said.

"Brother! You need to end it! We've freed the other one from Zeed X's control!" Glacialis Sedna called out to Dramon X AI.

"We must hurry then!" Toppomon hastily went to save Jirenmon.

Emitting a red fiery aura, Jirenmon bellowed and unleashed a barrage of instantaneous punches at Dramon X AI. Dramon X AI dodged, parrying Jirenmon's blows. Both had the same idea and gut punched each other.

Pow!

Dramon X AI and Jirenmon stumbled from one another. Jirenmon doubled over and ground his teeth, trying to hold in the pain.

"It's time we end this!" Jirenmon bellowed, preparing to end his duel with the Accel Ascendant. "You and your evil shall be eradicated by my flames of justice!"

"Bring all you've got!" Dramon X AI flew back and charged up for a Ryuken Wave.

Jirenmon powered up to use his most dangerous technique, Heatwave Magnetron.

The YYGDM-01 leaders and Houou Mars quickly got in Jirenmon's way. The Grey roared and lunged at the group with his readily charged attack. He was able to repel most of the heroes, except Neo-Queen Serenity, Guilkatomon, and Houou Mars. The trio blasted Jirenmon together. Jirenmon was pushed away, but he fought hard and nullified their attacks with an aura. He lunged at the trio and knocked Guilkatomon away. Houou Mars threw herself in front of her future queen and augmented her white Houou cloak. Jirenmon grabbed her Houou cloak and slowly started ripping it.

"MARS!" Neo-Queen Serenity cried out, shocked the Grey was physically ripping the Houou's cosmic cloak.

The Houou roared within her cosmic cloak, sending waves toward Jirenmon. "He's managing to tear into my cloak! This cannot go on for much longer!" With that, she and Houou Mars blasted Jirenmon with a telekinetic blast that neutralized the Grey's mind.

"GET BACK!" Both Houou Mars and the Houou yelled out in unison.

"Hang on…!" Before Guilkatomon aided her, Toppomon managed to sneak up and restrained Jirenmon from behind.

"I've got him! Hit him and purge that villain's control over him!" Toppomon called out.

Without hesitation, Neo-Queen Serenity and Houou Mars hit Jirenmon with a wave of divine light. This was enough to remove Zeed X's impurities.

"Way to go, guys!" Amare Venus cheered them.

"Let him have it, brother/Ken/uncle Ken!" Glacialis Sedna, the Kuipers, Angemon X, and ArcticOphanimon X cried out in unison.

As Jirenmon came to, he was unable to stop and incidentally fired off his heatwave. Despite this, Dramon X AI still turned things around and ran head-on with the incoming attack. He jumped up and surfed across the heat blast. He somersaulted into the air and blasted Jirenmon head-on with his Ryuken Wave.

Then, Dramon X AI formed a large white dimensional portal behind the defeated Jirenmon. With enough strength, Toppomon grabbed Jirenmon on hold, and both are sent back to Digiverse 11.

"Defeat that villain for the Digital Pride Troopers!" Toppomon yells were heard as the portal closed.

"Finally, we got these two out of our backs." Dramon X AI sighed in relief.

"Now, only one remains," Neo-Queen Serenity stated.

"Tai!" Guilkatomon called out.

"Which one?" Renrukimon asked him.

"Obviously the one we know. Tai, we've cleared out the rest of the baddies!"

Meanwhile, both Omega Xs continue their engagement against Zeed X. Zeed X attempted to go on the defense, but Omega X (DF-616 Prime) punched through the physical wall and headbutted Zeed X ten times until he is sent flying. Zeed X recovered and unleashed a Dominus Destroyer, sending various large and small shockwaves. However, Omega X AI used his essokinesis from his perfected Ascendancy Instinct aura to instantly dissolve all of Zeed X's attacks.

"It can't be…!" Zeed X muttered in dismay. He tried using his Millennia Power Reset, which passed through Omega X AI, but to his dismay, the Ascendant no sold its effects. "I CALL PLOT INCONVENIENCE BULLSHIT! DAMN YOU, DEUS EX OVERSEER!"

Taking advantage of his enemy's unhinged outburst, Omega X AI charged and delivered another million rounds of punches at Zeed X's body that sent him flying high to the sky. Omega X AI then fired his Supreme Tsunami Wave at Zeed X. Zeed X let out a scream as his body became badly damaged and burnt from the divine energy beam.

(End theme)

The energy is cleared and Zeed X fell to the ground. As both Omega Xs stood guard, Zeed X got up again recovering from his burns and bruises. The rest of the heroes and Burizalor convoked behind the two warriors.

"Well done for properly damaging me, Taichi. This is the power of Ascendancy Instinct… no, power unlocked by the Overseer. Well played. No wonder that last ability didn't work on you. Screw it. Never doing that again." Zeed X said to Omega X AI. "All of my agents have been removed from the game. Obviously, I am the only one left standing."

All his confidence and smugness were gone. They were replaced by fear and anger.

"I WILL NOT LOSE TO ANY OF YOU! IF I DIE, YOU AND YOUR CREATORS ARE ALL GOING WITH ME!"

Then, Zeed X powered up as a colorless aura with black sparks surrounding him. His body is given modifications. His arms and legs gained thicker spikes and scales. Two upper feathered wings and two bottom devilish wings burst out of his back. Horns similar to Zeed's appeared on his forehead. His short white hair became long and unkempt. As Zeed X finished powering up, bursts of anomalous feathers came out of his body and exploded in mid-air, ripping out fragments of the dimension.

"Dark Schneider, eat your heart out. And now playtime is truly over. With me and the DNA of my previous incarnation as one, I've transcended to reach Digital Ascendancy!" Zeed X Digital Ascendancy announced with an overly vigorous expression. He shed off and cast his weaker form off.

Dramon X AI scoffed. "I'm gonna go Dark Schneider on your ass when it's said and done."

Neo Frigg added. "Man, I can't believe we're at this point and still alive!"

Yugi nodded. "One thing's for sure, we'll avenge our friends."

"I just hope we can bring them back after we beat this freak," Yusuke said.

"We will win. That's what we do, right?" Neo-Queen Serenity resolved along with the others.

Omega X AI frowned and pointed to Zeed X DA. "You think you're the only one who can fuse?" He turned to Omega X War God (DF-616 Prime). "What do you say? It's worth a shot."

"Yeah, let's do this," Omega X (DF-616 Prime) complied.

Both Omega Xs put their hands together as a white light enveloped them.

Then, Omega X AI and Omega X (DF-616 Prime) fused together to form into a single being. His appearance is the same as Omega X AI with his white hair and hairstyle, but he wore Omega X (DF-616 Prime)'s Digi-Mazoku wardrobe. He has a whitish blazing, winged aura that is akin to Agumon Burst Mode.

"Now, you can call me, Omega X! Digital Ascendancy!" The Digital Fused Ascendant declared.

Masaru watched in awe and grinned. "Oh, wow, this is so freaking cool!"

ShineGreymon BM concurred. "Hell yeah, Aniki!"

Golden Burizalor snorted and sardonically added. "As if one Taichi wasn't enough, but two fused into one? Talk about revolting."

Celesta X HM praised. "That's my brother… and my brother? Either way, they're both amazing." She smiled and put her hand on her chest. And I'm going to show how amazing I can be, too! Right, Homeostasis?

Guilkatomon was on cloud nine seeing two versions of his inspiration combined into one. "I'll forever keep this ingrained in my head for the rest of my life."

Moinanea smiled proudly. "Indeed, all of us won't forget this moment."

Beerusmon grinned. "Yes, now things have gotten far more interesting."

Tempus Pluto VM keenly eyed Omega X DA. "These are interesting developments. Whatever revived Omega X had to be from an entity whose authority supersedes Lady Cosmos."

Devil Homura frowned. "Zeed X, your days of terrorizing the omniverse is over."

Ultimate Madoka clasped her hands as if giving a prayer. "Now let victory shine our way."

Omega X DA dropped into a battle stance. Along with his friends and compatriots, they faced off against the omniverse's biggest threat.

"Let this finale be written in the history books," Zeed X DA declared. "But once I'm the one left standing, fiction shall cease altogether. The final phase of the Omniversal War and my Zero Dawn are set."

The very final phase of the Omniversal War begins.

Next chapter: Omniversal War

xxxxx

Zeed X's A/N: This is the twilight of all chapters of Cross Generations that'll lead to the very final battle itself.

(Looking at Kanius's previous A/N saying 'next chapter should hopefully not be as long.') Yeah right, Chapter 27 is just as long within length, only its longer. That means he's lying to you all. This is the longest chapter of Cross Generations, to the point it almost reached 200 pages. Of what Omniversal Chaos attempted to force over 90,000 words upon the author since the Digital Ascendancy chapters are two parts, their words combined to form the total word count to exactly that point.

Good news, (M)otherfucker(I)mmoral(S)hi(T) has ceased to exist, both body and soul. Her existence is removed forever.

My fight against the Triad heroes continue, leading the dimensional transition to the V-Tamers Prime dimension. There, this was my chance to erase the Prime Taichi's existence.

At last, I have killed Omega X of DF-616, which I never had the chance to do so for the DF-616 Prime version. Here is a big Player Punch to all readers besides making Athena faces. Hehehehehe. 'Freezalor' is not happy to see this, so I give him and Virus a favor that they are no match for me.

What a surprise. The author decides to revive Omega X (DF-616) in the biggest deux ex machina and granted him the power of Ultra Instinct-I mean, Ascendancy Instinct. To be frank, I cannot even comprehend why Kensuke (XLR-8) gained Ascendancy Instinct to be the being of unity that bind the Triad dimensions together, and granted the YYGDM-01 heroes a boost to be on par against me?

Now, the kiddy gloves have already come off.

With killing Prime!Taichi failed, my true ultimate goal for the Zero Dawn is tampering with the Galaxy Cauldron slash quote The Source quote. The Paradais duo (YYGDM-01) attempted to do that back in their Dawn of Chaos to remake their universe to their image and extended network (alongside Gamera with the Romulus Source), but they failed. (M)otherfucker(I)mmoral(S)hi(T) failed to 'destroy' it as well. That leaves me to finish the job. It is all connected here from the author's first fanfic in real-life 1998 all up to Fiction's Closure. I am going to give my analytical debates to YYGDM-01 in the next chapter, especially when Cosmos and her Ora Guardians are guarding their emblematic home. But most of all, the Overseer as the highest and most powerful being in existence, makes its involvement and telling you readers of my actual origins starting that I existed since time immemorial (What a Cosmic Horror Story, isn't it?).

Looking back at my cycle list:

-1st Cycle - Xeed

-2nd Cycle - Fallen Xeed

-3rd Cycle - Grand Xeed

-4th Cycle - Millenniummon (Digimon Adventure: Anode Tamer and Cathode Tamer)

-5th Cycle - Millenniummon (Digimon Adventure 02: Tag Tamers)

-6th Cycle - Moon=Millenniummon (Digimon Adventure 02: D-1 Tamers)

-7th Cycle - ZeedMillenniummon (Digimon Tamers: Brave Tamer)

-8th Cycle - Millenniummon/Zeed (D-Fusion/DF-616 Prime)

-9th Cycle - Zeed X

Since The Source cannot be truly be destroyed, I can still tampered its existence for a complete purging of all the omniverse and reinstate myself as the sole creator without anything erasing my existence. I intend to undergo a 10th and final cycle by tampering with The Source that unlike past ones that are required each death, this one does not, in returning back to my original Xeed appearance. No...more like becoming Omniversal Xeed!

The Omniversal War, inspired and hindsight of the Infinity War and Keyblade War, is reaching the final phase!

(Afterwhich, Zeed X's A/Ns disappears, to which his presence begins to shake the A/Ns as if the place is beginning to disappear and decompose.)

Kanius's A/N: Yes, so I did lie about this entry not being long like the last. So sorry. There were many happenings in this chapter that needed to be told and shown. So, consider these past few chapters 'mega-episodes' or 'megasodes' for short. Team Four Star seem to be pulling that for their three-part season finale for their Cell Games. Three megasodes combined into a movie-length event.

For those overwhelmed, I'd suggest taking your sweet time and don't rush. There is a lot of material in this to take in. The action is chaotic and all over the place. It is insanity. But, after this and the next chapter, I'll settle down with the stories I write. Wrath of the Defiants, for example, certainly will begin very low key with little battle scenes (battles will probably be spread over chapters before escalating later on). The good news, this chapter and this whole arc haven't fatigued me like Dawn of Chaos did. But, I am still taking a bit of a breather before I tackle the next chapter. And while we're on the good news, these chapters will be adapted and split into smaller/moderate-length chapters when I retell the Black Rebellion and Fiction's Closure arcs. This chapter, for instance, without the Corner stuff would probably translate to 3 Ascendancy chapters. So, anyone who likes easier to digest chapters, that's where my Ascendancy fic does its job. It'll be a while though since I've yet to start on the new original arc in Ascendancy.

Wow, already clocking over 54,000 words. Unbelievable. And do not let's word count fool you. It's not 58,000 words like the site calculates. Trust me. The system lies! This chapter took me over half a month to finish. This is by far the longest chapter I've ever written in any of my stories. Already beats out DFrontier: Millenniummon Saga Chapter 23 (and that's the final battle chapter, too!). And for sure already beat Dawn of Chaos Chapters 61 and 62 in word count. I'm not even human, yo. Not sure to be proud of that or not.

Thankfully, the next chapter has to be shorter since the only enemy left is Zeed X and will solely focus on the battle with him. Although, it's funny how the penultimate battle chapter will be longer than the finale. That's already different from how Dawn of Chaos turned out. The Zeed X finale won't be like the DoC one.

Ok, touching on the significant stuff just went down:

The Cornerverse scenes: Granted, if this wasn't in this chapter, it wouldn't have surpassed 50,000 words. But, thankfully the Ultimate Grimhilde conflict has been resolved. There's a few notable onscreen deaths to hopefully leave some impact, but since this is the Cornerverse, they'll be brought back, but who won't come back? Neo Grimhilde. This is her finale, leaving Mist/Adora (YYGDM-01) without the evil sorceress's essence controlling her. Neo Frigg (YYGDM-01) learns the Aesir Kamehameha and that'll become part of her attack moveset. And Mist/Adora (YYGDM-01) gets sent right back to her home dimension and right on top of Kenta. That's one issue resolved.

Now, the main event: More like several main events in one location. The battles against Kamoael and ChaosNova X/Extinction Mode are finished. However, a few more lives are lost in the process. The most notable sacrifice is Ordinemon, who with the last of her power takes Kamoael with her. The last of the Synisters are now extinct. With ChaosNova X destroyed, Yagami/GalacticNova X and Virus (more on him later…) perish. But, that sneaky jerk Burizalor manages to slip away and steals a few energies to power himself back up to carry out his goal of killing Prime Taichi.

Writing those scenes with Jirenmon and Toppomon were intense. Granted, things did get draggy and so many characters to keep up with. That's when Zeed X, in Thanos-like Infinity War fashion, used his Millennia Epilogue to pretty much erase half of the hero cast. That's bad for our heroes, but good for me since it became much easier for me to write and keep track of who's who. So, to fans of those characters Zeed X wiped out, sorry? They'll be back somehow I promise!

Sailor Pluto's anthro-wolf transformation: Yeah, what can I say? Pluto, merged with Lupe, got pissed off and let the wolf's fury turn her into an anthropomorphic wolf. Don't worry she didn't go full wolf. She just gained wolf ears, tail, claws, teeth, and eyes. Once Toppomon put Hina/Gao Pluto in danger, mama wolf came out to tear up some Pride Trooper ass. And thankfully Pluto's 'beast out' moment didn't last once Volodramon calmed her down.

Sailor Pluto's Digivice: Probably should've happened sooner (like during the Cosmos vs. Chaos chapter), but Pluto and Volodramon's love helped forge a Digivice (not just any Digivice but the same model as Kensuke's B.A.X. Digivice type). So not only is he Pluto's lover, but her official Digimon partner. Now she's freely able to combine herself with Volodramon to form Volo Mode, and can now fuse Digimon together (as evidence with her fusing Titaniamon and CyberBeelzemon).

Guess who's back btw? Athena! And she's returned with a new Ascendant form (ArcticOphanimon X) learned while training in the Other World under legendary hero Taito Yagami's teachings. But, yes, Athena is back! :D

This entire chapter can also be classified as the 'fall and rise of Kensuke Rainer'. He (and Orcus) started off as ZarcDramon X only to be purified by Sedna, who unlocks her Light Legacy potential, and Athena. Dramon X returns to fight Jirenmon, which led directly to him unlock his Ascendancy Instinct power (Omen and Perfected). He also manages to get some licks in on Zeed X, paying him back for all the suffering he put him and Orcus through. However, this won't be the only Ascendancy Instinct moment you'll get. More on that later.

Ok, for those worried that Platinum Orcus was acting too OOC here, keep in mind she was captured by the enemy twice and this latest capture by Zeed X put her through some fucked up shit (don't worry nothing gross like sexual assault). She's essentially faced worse than what Helena/Sailor Quaoar did in Dawn of Chaos. In regards to her OOC behavior, I have big plans for her character arc in Wrath of the Defiants. She will see her hero status fall, but she won't turn to evil either is all I'm going to say.

What are SM-A1and Crystal Tokyo 97330? They're the dimension coordinates for my friend JNaegi's fanfic stories, Minako's Happiness of Heart/Sailor Moon: The Broken Kingdom (a two-part fic series)and Senshi Continuum (the in-story's future time period). Kensuke has at least visited or had his presence felt in this universes. Go read them if you got the time and looking for some cool Sailor Moon crossovers (/cheap-plug-for-you-Jeffrey)

Omega X (DF-616) exploits Zeed X's flaws. Yep, that's what's lead to the villain slowly losing grip of himself and reality.

How about that epic moment of the YYGDM-01 leaders and Houou Mars coming together? Much thanks to Chaosblazer for conceiving this idea. The eight used eight artifacts (what do you think? While the Spirit Wave Orb is not an artifact, it's still a device linked to Yusuke that gives him his full spirit power.). That proved more than enough to stop Jirenmon and Dramon X from wiping out the entire universe they were fighting in. In process, that allowed them to absorb and inherit Dramon X's Ascendancy Instinct energies. So, as a result, the YYGDM-01 leaders and Houou Mars unlock some form of AI! We'll see how long that lasts, but it came in handy here and will in the next chapter.

DVT-98 (Digimon Prime): Back to this world we go. The last our heroes came here was in Resurrection B where they did manage to save V-Tamers Taichi and thwarted the Three Fiends (Burizalor, the Warlord, and Cyrus). Now Zeed X seeks to finish where Burizalor left off. Burizalor then finally turns against the anomalous one. Without Charon around anymore, someone had to do it.

Our heroes arrive and help create the Multiversal Life Bomb. Instead of relying on the energies of billions of mortals, there were gods/goddesses (namely Ultimate Madoka, Devil Homura, Goddess Moinanea, arguably Neo-Queen Serenity's crystal, and the Houou) to help give the Life Bomb the boost it needs and enough to possibly defeat Zeed X. Right? Wrong, the anomalous one still proved too powerful and sends it back at Omega X. And for the first time in his storied career, Omega X dies in battle. Zeed X does make a good point. Of the Ascendant Triad that helped create Gaiamon X, only Dramon X has never died in battle (Angemon X and now Omega X have). This was the tipping point that leads our heroes putting up a helpless battle against Zeed X and the Digital Pride Troopers.

Tai and Agumon thought they were sent to some limbo. Nope, turns out they meet the 'One Above All' inside the Source. To confirm any confusion, the Source lies deep inside the Galaxy Cauldron in the Nexus.

Who is the Overseer? He's God. He's the creator. He's pretty much the amalgamation of every fictional writer (be it professional, amateur, and fanfic writer) that oversees the foundation of the fictional omniverse. When writers stop writing and creating, the omniverse stagnates and never progresses. And then it may ultimately cease if no new generations are there to foster it. Zeed X hopes to reboot the fictional omniverse in order to keep himself alive, become a new overseer, and purge the weakness that he absorbed (DF-616 Prime!Ryo) which kickstarted his 9th and current regenerative cycle. So, why can't the Overseer just destroy him on a whim? Simply because Zeed X, who has been breaking the fourth wall and such, has found means of leaving the fictional omniverse. Of course, reaching the Source won't be easy even for someone like Zeed X. The Overseer won't even need to fight when we got all these heroes coming after his sorry butt.

The big 'Deus Ex Machina' moment as the Overseer described it: Omega X gains the power of perfected Ascendancy Instinct. And since this power came from the Overseer him/her/itself, this makes Omega X (DF-616) the strongest Ascendant. And what sort of price did Tai have to pay for this quick power-up? You'll have to find out in Chapter 29. ;)

Oh boy, did Zeed X just make Burizalor into his own personal punchline? And what's more? He taunts him with Linda Young's voice and dialogue. Poor poor Burizalor.

So, that big 'Virus' moment? The magnificent Cell-expy bastard himself returns briefly with a new red coat of paint. Crimson Virus makes an entrance and fights alongside Golden Burizalor to put up a resistance against Zeed X. While it doesn't amount to much, it gives Virus one last hurrah before going out in a blaze of glory. Btw, yes, I did base Crimson Virus off the 'Red Cell' fanmade variation that's been popping up on YouTube (notably Cell vs. Frieza (Ultimate Evolution vs Golden Edition). And no, this isn't a God form for Virus. It's the result of Burizalor and the Ascendant cells evolving after regeneration from 'near death' (aka Zenkai boost).

While Crimson Virus was short-lived, his sacrifice leads directly to the biggest moment: Omega X returning with fully perfected Ascendancy Instinct. Yep, he gains it earlier than in a Tournament of Power adaptation (which will be written for Ascendancy). And then the Omega X duo proceeds to beat Zeed X's sorry ass. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't satisfied with that.

Then, the two Digital Pride Troopers are beaten and healed. Dramon X pulls a UI Omen Goku and surfs on Jirenmon's blast before blasting both him and Toppomon into the portal back to their home universe.

Ok, so Jirenmon briefly was able to tear Houou Mars's cloak. Makes one wonder what would've happened had Jirenmon and the Houou gone all out. My money is on the cosmic avian via telepathic and matter manipulation, but Jirenmon was somehow able to resist Hit's Time Skip. He may or may not necessarily resist all forms of non-physical abilities.

Speaking of Jirenmon, yep Zeed X is the one that killed his family and teacher. I got that mystery out of the way so I don't have to come back to it ever again. And yes it is well within Millenniummon's power to alter timelines, which he did and changed Jirenmon's Superman-like optimism to Batman's cynical view of life. Thanks Zeed X for changing an otherwise decent hero into a jerk.

With the two Digital Pride Troopers removed, Zeed X is the last enemy standing. The Omega X duo performs their fusion into Digital Ascendancy. Zeed X uses what's left of Zeed's remnants and morphs into his own Digital Ascendancy.

This is it. The final battle of Cross Generations. The end is nearing for this crossover saga and the last major crossover event of the Triad (DFK/YYGDM/Accel). After this? Well, nothing will be the same again, which will be said in dialogue in the next chapter.

And I'm beat. I'm taking a little break from writing the next CG chapter. Will need to recharge, but thankfully the workload for Chapter 28 won't be anywhere near as heavy and condensed as this.

Until the next update, send a review and see you in the Zeed X finale. Later!
