Izzy and Joe just arrived on the battlefield with T.K. and Tactimon and the two of them saved T.K. just in the nick of time.

"What is this?" Tactimon said.

"Joe, Izzy? What are the two of you doing here?" T.K. said.

"We got tired of waiting around. We couldn't sit by and do nothing while you and the others could have been in trouble." Izzy said.

"So we went through the nearest gate we could find and got here as fast as we could." Joe said.

"As much as I like to explain ourselves T.K., don't you have somewhere to be?" Izzy said referring that he had to get after Davis. "We will do our best to hold this guy off. You promised Kari to bring him back."

"We can handle this, even if he does looks really scary." Joe said. T.K. wanted to stay and fight, but there was no time. Besides, Joe and Izzy were smart guys. They can find some way to beat Tactimon. He pulled out his D-Terminal and had Patamon become Pegasusmon.

"I get it. Be careful you guys." T.K. said as he climbed on. "He's really strong and watch out for his sword. He hasn't pulled it out, but he's still dangerous." Pegasusmon started flying and Tactimon turned to face him.

"Where do you think you're going?" Tactimon said as he was about to stop the two of them.

"No you don't." Zudomon said as he rushed over to him. He slammed down his hammer, but Tactimon held up his sword and was able to block it as the vibrations traveled up Zudomon's arm. "Wow. T.K. wasn't kidding."

"There's not even a crack or a dent. What is that sword made of?" Megakabuterimon said.

"I would love to analyze it, but if he's as powerful as T.K. said, we can't waste time." Izzy said. "Hit him hard and heavy with every ounce of strength you got."

"Vulcan's Hammer."

"Horn Buster."

Both of them used their attacks and it looked like they hit. They thought they did some damage, but they were proven wrong as Tactimon walked through the dust without even a scratch on him.

"Is that the best the two of you can do? I'm not impressed" Tactimon said as he held up his sword. With one powerful swing, he was able to create a giant gust of wind that was pushing Izzy and Joe back.

"Whoa, T.K. wasn't kidding." Zudomon said.

"You're right. I can feel his power and he hasn't even drawn his sword." Megakabuterimon said.

"This sword is known as the Sword of Storms or Jatetsufūjin-maru." Tactimon said.

"Jatetsufūjin-maru? That means snake sealed by God in iron." Izzy said.

"Clever boy. My sword holds much destructive power that I could destroy a star if I wanted to." Tactimon said. "Behold just one level of my swords power."

"Earth Shaker."

He stabbed the ground and it caused a massive earthquake. Megakabuterimon was able to be unaffected by it as he started flying.

"Nice try, but earthquakes don't work if I'm off the ground." Megakabuterimon said.

"You're right, so let's try a second level." Tactimon said.

"Tectonic Tremor."

He stabbed the ground two more times. Openings in the ground were created and dark spirits of warriors started rising out of them.

"What's he doing now?" Izzy said.

"Is he trying to tell us ghost stories?" Joe said.

"These are the spirits of dead warriors and they will crush you." Tactimon said. The spirits coiled around Zudomon and Megakabuterimon as they were both forced into the ground and were getting shock. "That was a second level of my power. My third will turn part of this forest into a wasteland."

"Don't let him hit the ground again." Izzy said.

"I've got him." Zudomon said.

"Vulcan's Hammer."

Zudomon tossed his sword, but it missed. However, it came back around and knocked Tactimon in the back and freed them from the spirits.

"Do you really think that is enough to stop me?" Tactimon said.

"We'll see about that." Megakabuterimon said. Both of them went to attack and held him down, but he broke free from their grip easily. Even with two people as smart and reliable as Izzy and Joe, they might not be enough to defeat Tactimon.

…

Matt

Beelzemon pulled out his nails from Matt's gut and Matt quivered in pain as he held on to the wound. Beelzemon licked his fingers clean and stared down at Matt.

"Look at you, it's pathetic. I thought that you would be tougher since you defeated many powerful digimon, but it looks like I was wrong." Beelzemon said. "Then again, you are only human." Beelzemon turned his head to look at Gabumon as he was still on the ground. "Let's see if you partner does any better."

"What are you going to do?" Matt said. He got his answer when Beelzemon pulled out his guns and aimed them at Gabumon.

"He's the real fighter, so let's see if he'll last longer. Although I highly doubt it." Beelzemon said. Matt had to think of something fast. He grabbed a rock and banged it against Beelzemon's head. That messed Beelzemon up as he couldn't stand up straight.

"Gabumon!" Matt said as he ran over to him. "We've got to get out of here."

I'm sorry Matt, but I can't move." Gabumon said. Matt turned back to Beelzemon and saw he was pulling himself together.

"We've got to escape somehow." Matt said as he looked around and spotted a river. "That's it." He grabbed Gabumon and dove right in. Beelzemon was able to see clearly and saw they were gone.

"Sneaky bastard. It would seem he's got more guts than I thought if he struck me in the head like that. Oh well, he won't get far." Beelzemon said.

…

Tai

Wargreymon was pushed back into the trunk of a tree as he was fighting Maliciousmon and he was having a difficult time.

"You might as well surrender now. Trash like you never had a chance against me." Maliciousmon said.

"If you're trying to scare me, it won't work." Wargreymon said.

"Is that so?" Maliciousmon said. That was when he used his speed and disappeared from sight. Wargreymon brought up his shield as he braced himself for any of the attacks he throws at him.

"Degrading Swift."

Maliciousmon appeared right behind Wargreymon and his shield shattered and slash marks appeared all over his body.

"He's even faster than before." Wargreymon said as he struggled to stand.

"Don't quit. You can take that guy Wargreymon." Tai said.

"Another annoyance. I think it's time someone shut him up." Maliciousmon said and Wargreymon heard him, knowing he was going to attack Tai. Maliciousmon used his speed, but Wargreymon gathered all of his strength to reach Tai first. Maliciousmon reached him and pulled back his claw and sword, but Wargreymon intervened as they were dead lock.

"That was close." Wargreymon said.

"Maybe a little too close." Tai said as he thought what would have happened. Maliciousmon tried pushing down on Wargreymon's arms and add pressure to his injuries.

"It looks like you won't hold out long and your friend has nowhere to run." Maliciousmon said. "Face the facts, no matter how this ends, both of you are going to die."

….

Izzy and Joe

Izzy and Joe were struggling against Tactimon as he was barely hurt and Megakabuterimon and Zudomon were almost out of energy.

"Izzy, have you found any weaknesses with that guy?" Joe said.

"I'm afraid not. If only we could get that sword away from him, but I'm afraid that won't even stop him." Izzy said. "I have never seen someone as strong as he is."

"You put up a brave fight, but it all means nothing." Tactimon said. "I have to finish you off and my master hates to be kept waiting." Giving up was not an option as Zudomon and Megakbuterimon tried to stand. "I said it's useless." He fired the guns on his back and blasted both of them down. "This is where it ends." He readied his sword and ran in to deal the final blow.

…

Beelzemon

Beelzemon walked down the river as he was hunting Matt down. He stopped when he saw some water out of the river and made a small trail. He knew Matt got out there and followed it back into the woods. Matt was resting against a tree and tried to stay out of sight.

"We should be safe here." Matt said, but he got quiet as he heard footsteps. Beelzemon was right behind him and Matt held his breath, hoping he wouldn't be spotted. Beelzemon started walking away and Matt sighed in relief. It was short as he saw his nails coming at him and he dived out of the way.

"You think you're so clever. Well, you're not. Say goodbye." Beelzemon said as he attacked again and Matt couldn't move.

….

Tai

Wargreymon was in a lot of pain as Maliciousmon pressed down on his arms. By the look on Wargreymon's face, he couldn't hold out much longer.

"Just a little more." Maliciousmon said.

"Tai…get out of here." Wargreymon said.

"I'm not leaving you. We're in this together." Tai said.

"You'll die together." Maliciousmon said. All of them were in a tough situation and it look like they weren't going to make it, but a miracle happened. A blast blew Maliciousmon away, a club blocked Beelzemon's nails, and two missiles were fired that stopped Tactimon.

"Who are you?" Maliciousmon said.

"The hell?" Beelzemon said.

"What was that?" Tactimon said.

"Allies of the digidestine."

"We're digimon."

"Here to assist our friends." The three that saved them were Leomon, Ogremon, and Andromon.
