Digimon Tamers Crimson Episode 44: FES Part 2

KingShoutmon stared into the eyes of his opponent, DarkKnightmon. Whom up to this point has proven to be able to hold his own against ZekeGreymon and VictoryGreymon. Kiriha looked closely at KingShoutmon and figured that his best friend Taiki was within him, just like how Taichi is in VictoryGreymon. Taiki looks around in the data sphere which he notices is actually yellow in contrast to his Digivice's color. "Shoutmon... What is this place?" Taiki asked hoping for his partner to respond. "It's my core essence. Everything about me started from the data sphere you're currently in." Shoutmon answered his partner who was still staring in amazement at everything in this supposed void... Until he looked down. "Shoutmon! Why didn't you tell me I had nothing on! That would've been very helpful ya know!" Taiki shouted complaining about his current predicament. "I don't usually wear anything and you don't hear me whining about it! Besides, I thought you would have figured that part out by now." Taiki after a bit of panicking calmed down. "Okay then, so currently we're one being... Fighting against two digimon combined into one." Taiki said summarizing the situation. Shoutmon responded "Well, in a way I guess we achieved a greater power together than we could separately." Taiki nodded and then said "It's like the two of us Digi-Xrossed in some way." Shoutmon was hypothetically rubbing his chin thinking about his general's statement and responded "Now that you mention it... You're right! We did Digi-Xros! It's the ultimate team-up between General and Digimon!"

Outside the data sphere DarkKnightmon was looking slightly down at KingShoutmon and said "So this is the result of your union? A mega level digimon I've never heard of." He then started to circle KingShoutmon and continued talking "Your form is one that no other Digimon has ever witnessed. However, it makes little difference to me what you do with this power. My brother Lord Bagramon is watching this fight as we speak. And he is curious about this "new strength" of yours Shoutmon. Perhaps he'd say that you are worthy enough to be considered a king. Though I do have to say... You look more like a jester, than you do a king." He then stopped walking around KingShoutmon and stood in front of him. KingShoutmon then raised his hand and said "King Xros!" before summoning what appeared to be the star sword. He then made a motion that summoned a fire wave. "Soundwave FIRE!" He said before the attack made contact with DarkKnightmon's lance. After the attack was blocked, KingShoutmon took this opportunity to rush forward and punch DarkKnightmon in the face. The knight ended up being blown away by that attack alone. Though when DarkKnightmon got up, he seemed to only have a minor dent in his armor. "How do ya like that!" KingShoutmon said to his opponent before he saw that DarkKnightmon was laughing at the thought that someone actually put a dent in him. "What's so damn funny!? I didn't make a joke! So why are you laughing at us!" DarkKnightmon then responded "Oh no Shoutmon, I'm not laughing at you... But rather laughing at the fact that, someone put an actual dent in me! Nobody has ever done that to me besides my beloved brother... COME KINGSHOUTMON! FACE ME IN THIS LAST BATTLE OF OURS!" They then charged one another, clashing their blades...

Meanwhile in Mexico...

A woman dressed in a black suit with black shades and short purple hair approached Emir, who was treasure hunting in ancient ruins. "Didn't take you for the kind who'd seek immortality." The woman said to Emir, who sarcastedly responded "Ha ha very funny." But then he realized something, "Wait... You came to see me while I'm traveling..." He then looks at her, afraid of what she's about to say and then continues "No. No, no No! Don't tell me someone's attacking Eastopolis!" The woman shakes her head and says "Not this time, but there is something you should be aware of..."

Back in the Digital World...

Gallantmon and Vamdemon had engaged in what appears to be a game of whack a mole. Vamdemon kept on using his Hellfire attack, while Gallantmon kept on blocking each attack. "How about standing still and letting me hit you!" Gallantmon yelled at Vamdemon who responded "But if I did that, then how can I hope to best you boy! Besides, I feel that you should at least understand the name of the game!"

Simon inside the data sphere was gradually getting angrier at his opponent for messing with him. "Jesus! He reminds of the worst parts about Emir!" Simon yells. Guilmon then asks "Which parts of Emir are the worst?" Simon sighs and answers "The parts that piss me off." Guilmon later asks "So how do you think we're gonna beat him if he keeps using this tactic?" Simon ponders how they plan to do this. He then snaps his fingers as though he came up with a brilliant idea. "Guilmon, what say we break the ceiling?" Simon asks Guilmon who nods and says "Sounds like a plan partner!" Gallantmon then points his shield at the ceiling and says "Final Elysium!" before firing a laser that caused the ceiling to fall apart. When the dust settled, Vamdemon then asked "If you were planning to destroy me, why not fire that attack directly at me?" Gallantmon responds "Simple, it's so I can do this!" Before tackling Vamdemon from behind and throwing him to a nearby wall. Gallantmon then proceeded to pick him up and knee him in the abdomen. "That's for antagonizing me you bastard!" He said as he continued to punch him all around the room... Until he teleported again. "Dammit! So, how about fighting me for real this time?" Gallantmon said to Vamdemon who smiled and said "Alright then... I'll show you a bit more of my strength." He then levitated up to his destroyed ceiling and suddenly... The room began to distort. "GIVE! ME! POWER!" He said as he transformed into what appears to be a large armored version of himself with extremely large wings and two dragon-like heads for shoulders.

"I'm guessing that's supposed to be his phase 2." Simon said in the data sphere and Guilmon nodded to confirm Simon's suspicions. "I admit that you have proven yourself worthy so far. But, how will you fare against this form?" Vamdemon said before grabbing Gallantmon and slamming him into a nearby wall. He then proceeded to fly in circles dragging Gallantmon across the walls. "Okay, I get it! I pissed you off! Now would you kindly get your hand off of me!?" Gallantmon said to Vamdemon who just threw him onto the floor. "I guess we're both hypocrites in some way. You don't kill humans, yet Digimon who would destroy the city are fair game. I don't particularly like being antagonized... But it is one of my favorite things to do to my opponents before I kill them." Gallantmon gets up and looks at his opponent before saying "Yeah well... Humans can be restrained. Digimon like you on the other hand... Let's just say we don't have a humane method of containing you guys." Gallantmon then summoned Falchion and his sheild back to his hands and took a fighting stance. "So, this time you're approaching me with Falchion. I must admit, that caught by surpise. To think, a human capable of wielding the power of a long lost legend such as Falchion. At first the thought would be inconcievable. But now, with you around, perhaps maybe theories are there just to be proven wrong." He then charges at Gallantmon with the intent of dragging him across the walls again. "Oh hell no!" Gallantmon said before slicing off Vamdemon's arm. The vampire screamed in pain as his arm was sliced clean off of his body. "Yeah, I don't feel like going for another ride thank you very much." Vamdemon then started to regress back into his intial state that he started the fight in...

Meanwhile with Henry and co.

The other Tamers had merged with their Digimon and started the fight against Reapermon. Beelzemon charged in first with Sakuyamon following his lead. However, when he attempted to strike Reapermon the scythe arm was about to cleave him. Sakuyamon however, summoned a barrier thus preventing any damage. He then tried shooting him with his guns. He got in closer just so he could try slicing him with his claws... Only to meet resistance with his armor. "What kind of Chrome Digizoid is your armor made of!?" Beelzemon asked obviously pissed at the fact that his attacks did little. "My power strengthens my chrome Digizoid. And thus, I am more... Resilient than most armored Digimon." Suddenly, he was surrounding by bolts of lighting which were summoned by Cherubimon. "Heaven's Judgement!" She said before the bolts engulfed the armored reaper. "Seven Heavens!" Seraphimon said before firing seven orbs of light at his target. "Sefirot Crystals!" Ophanimon said firing seven different beams of light with her javelin. Imperialdramon then put his wrist cannon into his dragon mouth and said "Giga Cannon!" Before firing the attack. As all of these attacks were about to hit Reapermon, he cast a barrier that was about to stop each of those attacks... Only for MegaGargomon to easily break through that barrier. "How!?" He asked before all four attacks collided into him and thus caused a huge explosion that was noticable throughout the majority of the area. Beelzemon then said "I know it's probably not over yet. But I need to ask... Does anyone here think it's over?" The other Digimon shook their heads and Beelzemon sighed before saying "Good. I just needed to make sure I wasn't the only one."

Reapermon then rose from the smoke cloud and begun to speak. "The moment man devoured the fruit of knowledge, he sealed his fate..." Henry suddenly felt an unknown force possess him and he began to speak as well. "Entrusting his future to the cards, man clings to a dim hope..." They then both said at the same time "Yet, the arcana is the means by which all is revealed..." The others were quite suspicious of why Henry was acting this way and Sakuyamon went up to MegaGargomon, hoping to find out what's going on. "Henry, what's going on?" Rika asked Henry who didn't respond. He only kept reciting what Reapermon was saying. "Beyond the beaten path lies the absolute end." Henry then said "It doesn't matter who you are..." They then once again at the same time said "Death awaits you..." Reapermon then began to change into what appeared to be a much larger version of himself... Only with black armor pieces instead of the gold pieces. His scythe arm shoulder became somewhat proportionate with his cannon arm shoulder and produced an actual arm with the scythe as a side blade. Both arms were somewhat thin with black gauntlets over the forearms. He grew some black hair on the back of his head and below the chest piece were feathers by the looks of it and those feathers lead to four somewhat average size to his body... Which was about 70% of MegaGargomon's actual height. Imperialdramon and Ophanimon flew up to MegaGargomon to see this all powerful beast for what it is. Seraphimon joined in too, though he was reasonably weary of this new form. Sakuyamon looked to MegaGargomon and Rika asked Henry within her Data Sphere "How... Did you know what he was going to say?" Rika asked Henry who had just snapped out of his trance. "I honestly don't know Rika. It just... Came to me..."

Reapermon looked closely at MegaGargomon and saw Henry withinside his data sphere, looking somewhat fearful at the prospect of feeling possessed. Reapermon then made his scythe fade into a pocket dimension before moving the hand into MegaGargomon's chest plate... And somehow passing straight through the plate and into the data sphere. The hand then seemed to scan the boy in the sphere and found a peculiar symbol within his soul. Reapermon then removed the hand from MegaGargomon with satisfied results. "Henry... What just happened?" MegaGargomon asked Henry who seemed too scared to even speak. He wasn't scared of Reapermon though... he was scared of something else, something that has been within him this whole time. "Now that was interesting. A human, who's of the death arcana. My master would find that very amusing... Assuming that he is watching our battle right now. However, the rest of you cannot hope to stand up to my power." He then began to charge up a small orb in his right hand which seemed to be nothing at first. After a while of watching this, Beelzemon recognized the orb as the same one Simon used against Daemon, when he had the Hazard Armor. So he started shooting at the reaper Digimon, just so he wouldn't be able to fire the attack. However, the wings seemed to form a barrier surrounding Reapermon who responded "Despite all of your power... It's useless to even try attacking me now. Henry was looking up at Reapermon and it seemed he was still paralyzed by this revelation. Sakuyamon then thought to erect a large barrier covering everyone... Though using up all of her power and discarding all her armor. Reapermon then pointed the orb at them and said "Useless..." Before firing the Megidoloan at the tamer's shield... which blocked only half of the damage, while the other half stopped around them and exploded within the area...

Meanwhile with Xros Heart...

KingShoutmon and DarkKnightmon were practically matching each other. Though it seemed with DarkKnightmon's excitement... Came Shoutmon's frustration. "Will you stop laughing at me?!" KingShoutmon yelled at the Knight who then stopped fighting and said "My apologies. But you've brought me more excitement in this form than you did in any of your other forms. Though now, I have to think about fighting a bit more seriously now." KingShoutmon felt like he was steaming mad. "THAT'S IT! YOU'VE CROSSED ME FOR THE LAST TIME!" KingShoutmon yelled before he was about to punch DarkKnightmon who had merely dodged the attack and moved to a bit of a safer location. "BROTHER! I ASK OF YOU! MAY I UNLEASH MY TRUE POWER ON MY CHOSEN RIVALS!?" DarkKnightmon yelled up to the sky which revealed the silloette of a somewhat menacing Digimon who looked down at Xros Heart, as though to see if they were worthy. "You may use your full potential. However, my power will likely put an end to you... So whether or not you win in this fight, you will end up dead!" The figure said to DarkKnightmon who responded "I understand my brother. However, I planned on this being the last battle I do. And while I once tried to usurp you... I've grown to respect you as my older brother. So, this will be my last test of my loyalty! Whether I win or lose is irrelevant. If I fight in your name... Then I am happy to die in this fight!" The figure applauded DarkKnightmon and responded "Very well then. Fight with all of your might! And prove your loyalty to me! I bid thee farewell... Little brother." DarkKnightmon then exuded a dark aura that seemed to push back KingShoutmon from attacking him. Though, it seemed that this transformation made him somewhat gigantic. He seemed to tower over Xros Heart and seemed to be nearly as large as MegaGargomon...

KingShoutmon looked at this new DarkKnightmon and felt as though he were messing with him. "So your true power is you getting bigger?" KingShoutmon asked the giant knight who responded by using his giant hand to grab KingShoutmon. "Does this, answer your question?" DarkKnightmon asked KingShoutmon who was being crushed by DarkKnightmon's grip and had a hard time trying to get out of it. VictoryGreymon and ZekeGreymon both charged at DarkKnightmon, who merely kicked ZekeGreymon away and grabbed VictoryGreymon. "You think you can hold me!? Eat this you bastard!" VictoryGreymon said as he was about to stab DarkKnightmon's arm. However, before he could do that DarkKnightmon threw him to the ground and placed his foot on top of him. KingShoutmon and VictoryGreymon both screamed in pain as DarkKnightmon increased the pressure in his hand and foot. Kiriha approached ZekeGreymon and asked "You think you can still fight?" ZekeGreymon got up and looked at the current situation. He looked at Kiriha with confidence and said "Of course! Just who the hell do you think I am!? I'm ZekeGreymon! Part of the bulk in Xros Heart and head of Kiriha's army in Xros Heart!" Kiriha sighed in relief and responded "Well thank god for that! We need to get Shoutmon and VictoryGreymon out of DarkKnightmon's grasp." ZekeGreymon looked at him and asked "I'm guessing you have a plan then?" Kiriha smiled with confidence and answered "Of course, I've hardly ever been without a plan. Make sure your cannon is ready partner!" ZekeGreymon then charged his cannon and was awaiting for Kiriha's signal. "Guys... Hang in there just a little longer! I'm gonna blow him away!" Kiriha thought to himself, hoping that his friends will be okay after all of this...

Meanwhile with Simon and Vamdemon...

Gallantmon seemed to have won against Vamdemon, who was regressing back into his previous form. "Now give up Vamdemon!" Gallantmon said approaching the somewhat dying vampire. He ended up noticing an explosion that occured on the battlefield down below. Gallantmon saw what had happened to most of the Tamers and their Digimon. He was extremely devastated to find that, his entire party had been practically decimated with a single blow... Though there were no casualties. "Simon... What just happened?" Guilmon asked Simon who was extremely shocked to see all of his friends beaten down by Reapermon. "I... I don't know Guilmon. It's almost like watching the aftermath of an atomic explosion. Only, the survivors are barely alive and breathing." Vamdemon, who had regenerated his arm looked down at the battlefield and said "That, is the true power of Reapermon. His power exceeds just about every Mega level Digimon in the Digital World. But that is only because of his true arcana... Death. It makes him resistant to just about any attack you can throw at him. The only thing surprising me right now is your friend, standing there as though he were possessed by some spirit or demonic force." Gallantmon looked closer at the battlefield to see Henry, literally standing there as Vamdemon described it. However, he knew that he couldn't do anything to help them... Due to his current predicament. "Henry! Snap out of it!" Gallantmon yelled to his friend hoping to get through to him. "Unfortunately, it seems your friend has lost any and all will to fight. I've looked at him closely and I realized something... He too seems to have the Death Arcana."

Gallantmon then turned his attention back to his rival. "What do you mean by that?" Gallantmon asked trying to interrogate him. "You may think that you have what it takes to beat me. However, I am much more than just a mere ultimate level Digimon!" Suddenly the fortress starts to collapse around Gallantmon who then signaled for Grani to come to his aid. Gallantmon then boarded the robot dragon who asked "Are you alright master?" Gallantmon then responded "I'm fine Grani, though right now I think we're gonna need your help for this next part in the fight." Grani then scanned his surroundings and saw what appeared to be a much darker version of Vamdemon... Though it seemed that his fortress had just transformed into a black three headed dragon, that didn't seem to have a lower body. "Master, your orders?" Grani asked Gallantmon who then answered "Honestly Grani... I have to wonder if making it out is still possible. Though now, the dragon has arrived. And, as a knight I must destroy this dragon to protect the people I serve!" Vamdemon laughed a bit and then said "Allow me to introduce my ultimate form. I am NeoVamdemon... And as of right now, our rivalry will end here, Simon Ackerman!" The Dragon heads launched themselves at Grani only for him to dodge and manuever around each of the attacks from the dragon. Gallantmon then had Grani charge up an attack that would likely do serious damage to this new form. Grani then opened his mouth to fire the attack. "Yuggoth Blaster!" Gallantmon shouted as the attack launched at NeoVamdemon, who had his arms crossed the entire time. As the attack impacted, the resulting explosion covered the entire area surrounding NeoVamdemon... As though to indicate that the Vampire dragon was dead.

The moment the smoke cloud cleared however... NeoVamdemon proved to be very much alive after that explosion. "I'm going to assume by your slack jawed expression that that was your best attack?" Gallantmon then charged at NeoVamdemon with a Lightning Drill Joust, in the hopes that it will actually end him. Unfortunately, when the attack impacted Vamdemon, it ended up not doing anything to him. "Impossible! How in the hell!?" Gallantmon asked backing away from NeoVamdemon who responded "It appears that you are at your absolute limit. It's a shame that you had to prove yourself unable to best me. Oh well, I think now is the time to end things... Wouldn't you agree?" Vamdemon said while generating spheres that seemed to have a very odd red aura around them. Gallantmon then had Grani fly as fast as he could away from Vamdemon as though to out-manuever him. The spheres then generated sharp tendrils that actively targeted Gallantmon and Grani. For the most part it seemed that Gallantmon was actually going to be able to safely avoid this attack. However, one tendril pierced through Gallantmon's chestplate, which not only affected him... But also Simon in the data core. NeoVamdemon then had the rest of the tendrils pierce just about every part of Gallantmon's armor until he was covered in nothing but holes. Due to Simon's healing factor, those holes seemed to be patching themselves up... Though it takes longer than with the Hazard. "I see, so the boy's healing factor is keeping Gallantmon alive. But, I'm willing to bet if I pierce his head, then he won't be able to heal himself." Vamdemon said regarding what was going on and saw that Gallantmon was getting up and was still willing to fight. "Vamdemon, I don't care how long it's gonna take me to destroy you. I'm not gonna give up! I've went through plenty of hell with my friends. I'm not gonna give up on this fight, nor am I gonna give up on my friends!" Vamdemon then summoned another sphere to strike Gallantmon through the head. It's tendrils seemed to be closing in on Gallantmon...

Meanwhile with Henry and co.

Terriermon was trying to snap Henry out of his current trance, to no avail. "C'mon Henry! You gotta snap out of it! I'm begging ya big bro! Please, come back to us! You can't quit now!" Terriermon was yelling into Henry's ears trying to get him to respond. "Unfortunately, it's too late dog. Your so called "Brother" is now in a state where cannot seem to find himself. The only way for him to return to you, is for him to accept his arcana. He denies his power even now, when his loved ones are about to die in front of his eyes. I guess his resolve truly is weak." Reapermon said in regard to Henry who still wouldn't move from that current state. "Bunny Blast!" Terriermon said shooting a small laser shot at Reapermon who brushed it off. "It seems that you would defy me to the very end... Dog!" He then began to charge his laser blast when a portal opened up from above the battlefield. In came Emir riding on Aquilamon. "When and how did you get here?" Terriermon asked Emir who responded "I had Vincent help me with the portal. And by the way... What happened here little buddy?" Terriermon was a bit reluctant to answer but he then said "Reapermon over there nearly killed all of my friends... And Henry is just standing there staring into space. He said something about not accepting his arcana... But I don't even know what that is!" Emir ponders this and Reapermon, who noticed the portal decides to adjust the barrier so that a portal cannot generate inside the barrier again. Emir waves his hand in Henry's face, in order to try and snap him out of his trance. "I already tried that! I'm telling you, he's not gonna budge from where he is right now!" Terriermon said to Emir who shrugged his shoulders and charged up a flow headbutt. However, unlike the one he used on Simon this one seemed to have a lot more flow in it.

He then hit Henry with a headbutt that ended up overflowing Henry with flow. Terriermon then yells "What the hell are you doing!? You're supposed to be helping him! Not hurting him more!" Emir goes up to Terriermon and said "I'm trying to force him to wake up. Think of it like a wake up slap, only stronger. He'll be much stronger, though with an urge to exersize more." Terriermon then went up to his Tamer and noticed a light leaking out from his forehead. "Emir, I wanna go in there and help him!" Terriermon said to Emir hoping to help Henry's recovery process. Emir pondered this and responded "I would like to do that little guy... But we can't afford that kind of luxury little guy." He then looks at Reapermon and says "I'm guessing you're not very patient, are you?" Reapermon shakes his head and Terriermon just sits nearby Henry, hoping for him to wake up. Emir then sighs and says "The best I can do, is buy you a few minutes. Just make sure Henry doesn't get hit in the meantime!" Terriermon nodded in response to Emir's statement and tried to move Henry's comatose body, to no avail. However, Rika was able to get up and get Henry out of the way from the current battle. Emir then had Aquilamon de-evolve back into Hawkmon who said "I'm surprised your taking this seriously Emir." Emir took out his Digivice and responded "That's because I just put a huge amount of flow into Henry. So right now, I can't afford to joke around. And I'm gonna need to rely on you in order to match this bastard in combat!" Hawkmon nodded and Emir then put in a bit of his flow power in order to evolve with Hawkmon.

FLOW MATRIX EVOLUTION._

"Flow Matrix Evolution!" Emir held his Digivice to the side of him, however he was then enveloped in a silver data sphere. Hawkmon began to change into a bipedal black bird. With an organic looking wing on one side, whereas the other wing is silver. It has armor plates on various parts of it's body and five talons on one arm, with five fingers on the other. It also carried around a single edged blade that was shorter than Gallantmon's falchion. Last but not least it had a red face mask.

Hawkmon Flow Matrix Evolve to... Ravmon!

Ravmon stood to face Reapermon and struck first at the giant. Rika looked at the digimon and analyzed it with her Digivice. "Ravmon, Vaccine type, Mega Level. Attacks are: Celestial Blade, Shadow Pierce and Dark Tornado." Rika said quoting her Digivice. She looked at Henry with Terriermon, hoping that he'll recover soon. Rika deep down regretted not being able to help Emir, though Renamon can't even stand up, let alone evolve into Sakuyamon.

Inside Henry's mind...

Henry ends up seeing blurred images of his past before waking up inside what appeared to be his own apartment room. "What happened? I'm home again. But... How? It doesn't make sense." Henry said walking around the place. "Terriermon? Mom...? Dad...? Suzie...?" He asked around the house, hoping to find anyone. "I'm here big brother!" Suzie said to Henry who hugged Suzie out of sheer concern. "Suzie! Have you seen mom and dad?" Henry asked Suzie who shook her head and said "No big brother, we're the only ones home right now." Henry then went up to the phone and tried calling his dad. Unfortunately, it went straight to voice mail. "Dad's battery must be dead. Guess I'll try mom's..." Henry said dialing his mother's phone number. The result was yet another call that went straight to voice mail. Henry then checked his pockets for his cell phone to call Simon or anyone else... But unfortunately, there didn't seem to be anything there. "Suzie, have you seen my phone or my Digivice?" Suzie shakes her head and Henry continues to wander around the apartment. As he wanders, he begins to notice that not only Suzie was actively following him... But also, Terriermon and Lopmon were nowhere to be seen in his apartment. "Suzie, do you remember anything happening earlier?" Henry asked Suzie who pondered this and responded "I know that... Things have been awfully lonely around here and... I just wish I could be closer to you." Henry was even more skeptical at that answer. "But Suzie... I thought you were a Tamer as well. And we were fighting to protect our world and-" Henry was saying until Suzie interrupted by putting her hand on Henry's and saying "Jianliang... I thought you said you'd never fight again. And, ever since then... You haven't played with me a whole lot."

Henry's eyes had widened considerably at Suzie's statement and realized what was happening. He just had to ask Suzie one question. "Suzie... What year is it right now?" Suzie then ponders Henry's question and responds "It's 2010. And you had just got out of the hospital." Henry then realized what had just happened. He began to walk out of the door to his apartment and run. He ran down the stairs and outside the complex going towards any direction he can think of. "Terriermon... Rika... Simon... I gotta find a way to get back to you guys!" He thought to himself as he kept on running. He reached Shinjuku park which seemed to be his destination since this was where he and Simon first met. When Henry looked up, he saw that it was unusually cloudy in Shinjuku. He then looked at himself and said "What am I doing here? Last thing that I remember was that Reapermon looked into my soul and saw that... I was supposedly of the Death Arcana. I just wish that I knew what to do now." Just as he was saying this, he felt himself glowing. And there seemed to be glowing circuits running through his body... Including areas surrounding his eyes. "This power... It's just like back then. Only this time, I feel like I have some control over it. Maybe, I really should let go of this pacifist tendency I developed. Just like you did before me Simon... I'm gonna accept what I truly am! Death isn't just an end... But also, a beginning." Suddenly, Henry's Digivice appeared in his hand and he saw a light nearby him. "Alright, that must be the exit. Now all I gotta do is enter it and I'll be able to save my friends!" Henry said before approaching it. Though he felt Suzie grip his arm. She was crying behind Henry.

[Cue Memories of the School]

"Big brother... Are you going somewhere?" She asked Henry who turned around to face her. "Suzie, I realize now that I've been running away from what I was meant to be. And, there are people who really need me right now. You included. So, just for the record, I'm sorry about lashing out at you in the hospital. And I'm sorry about not spending time with you." Henry said in response, hugging her before leaving. "Big brother... I forgive you. But when you come back, could you pinky promise me that you'll play with me?" Suzie asked Henry who smiled and gripped her pinky with his and responded "Of course. We'll all come home and we can play whenever you want! We can play with Terriermon, Lopmon and everybody else!" Henry then entered the light which lifted him slowly away from Suzie who merely waved goodbye to him. "I'm glad big brother. You finally accepted yourself." She then walked towards the unknown, though she and the rest of this Shinjuku faded away from existence.

[End Memories of the School]

Back in the Digital World...

Ravmon was fending off Reapermon fairly well, though it seemed that he was tired after a little bit. "What the hell's going on!? You haven't even taken a hit yet!" Terriermon asked Ravmon who responded "Unfortunately, we haven't had much time to experiment with this form, so I'm afraid we're not gonna last long!" Reapermon then prepared his scythe arm to strike Ravmon who then split into Emir and Hawkmon just to avoid the slash. "What will you do now, human?" Reapermon asked Emir who had what appeared to be spherical piece with a sun-like crest on it, as well as having a horn out the top. "Digi Armor of courage!" Emir shouted before Hawkmon was engulfed by the object's energy. "Hawkmon armor evolve to... Allomon!" Allomon was what appeared to be an allosaurus, except he had more feathers on his head than his previous form did and also had stripes all over his blue body, except for the torso. Allomon charged Reapermon who had merely grabbed him by the neck and said "Let us finish this! It is the path of your choosing." Before throwing him into the air and summoning what appeared to be red energy pillars that struck allomon with immense force. This forced him to de-evolve back into Hawkmon who ended up delusional afterwards. "Emir, when we get back... I'm gonna-" He ends up passing out on the ground. Emir also ends up delusional and says "When did I start doing drugs man?" Reapermon looks at a despearate Rika and Terriermon before saying "That is the effect of my attack Night King. When it strikes the opponent, they can be rendered delusional from the after affects." Terriermon was panicking a bit until Henry got up and said "I've got a massive headache right now guys."

Rika then hugged Henry and said "Welcome back idiot!" Henry then pats her on the back and responds "Well, it's good to be back Rika. And thanks for sticking by me." Henry then started to give off a noticeable glow that seemed to come from the markings appearing on his body. They were somewhat like circuits... Only less complicated and seemed to exist only on the outside. They seemed to only outline his appendages, torso, back and parts of his face. Terriermon approached Henry and said "I know you just woke up and all... But what's the plan here?" Henry then gets out his core drill and places it in the Digivice before saying "Terriermon, we're gonna take this guy out and save the Digital World!" They then merged together into MegaGargomon. This time however, MegaGargomon seemed to have spikes around the gattling gun wrists, and seemed to have boosters attached to the back of his wrists. Not much else seemed to change, except now MegaGargomon was exuding an emerald green aura that suggested it's newly acquired power. Inside the Data Sphere, Henry's markings were still present... Only not glowing since he was on the inside of the sphere. "This form... Is known as, MegaGargomon Emerald Mode." He then took a fighting stance to confront Reapermon who responded "It matters not if you accepted your true power, the end has come for you and all of your friends! Now... Face me BOY!" The two stared each other down, neither one breaking off, as though waiting for a signal that may never come...

Meanwhile with Xros Heart...

MegaDarkKnightmon was about to destroy KingShoutmon and VictoryGreymon when suddenly, ZekeGreymon fired a shot from his cannon that hit his right arm and caused him to drop KingShoutmon. VictoryGreymon used this opportunity to grab his sword and stab MegaDarkKnightmon's foot, thus releasing him from that predicament. "Thanks buddy!" KingShoutmon said to ZekeGreymon who responded "Your welcome. Now begs the question: If you and VictoryGreymon can't really damage him... Then how can we beat them?" VictoryGreymon was about to say something, when Kiriha interrupted and suggested "What if we all fuse together?" They turn to Kiriha and Taiki asked "You sure about that? What if it's not enough?" "Then we lose. All our efforts go to waste. But, at least he's going with us!" Kiriha answered Taiki who looked to Taichi and said "Well, all we gotta do is believe in each other and combine all our power into one." They all nodded at once before Kiriha raised his Xros Loader and KingShoutmon raised his arm.

KingShoutmon! "Okay!"

Ballistamon! "Booyah, baby!"

Dorulumon! "Standing by!"

Starmon! Pikmon! "Let's do this!" "Yeah!"

Sparrowmon! "Ready for lift off!"

ZekeGreymon! "Always!"

VictoryGreymon! "Just in time!"

Digi-Xros!

Shoutmon! X-8!

Shoutmon X-8 seemed to have various parts from all of the other Digimon he merged with. Sparrowmon's wings, Dorulumon and Ballistamon's heads as his shoulders, legs and chest covered in golden armor and it seemed that his mic stand had VictoryGreymon's blade on the top of it, whereas the microphone itself was on the bottom. Now it seemed that all of Xros Heart was in a singular large data sphere. KingShoutmon's head also seemed to be the only thing intact from his prior form. He also seemed to stand at the same height as MegaDarkKnightmon. They too seemed to be looking at one another, and just like the fight above awaited for an unknown signal.

Meanwhile with Gallantmon...

Gallantmon was bracing himself for his "death"... Only to see that Grani took the blow meant for him. "Grani..." Simon said from within his data sphere, with an extremely shocked look on his face. Gallantmon saw Grani struggling within the tendrils, who looked at Gallantmon and said "Are you... Alright... Master...?" Before the tendrils left Grani's body and Gallantmon caught the mech Dragon. "But why Grani? Y-You didn't have to! I probably would have gotten out of the way!" Grani weakly responds "Master... It's because... My life... Belongs... to you. And... I couldn't... Let you die..." Gallantmon felt tears welling up in his eyes, and the same case applied to Simon since he felt very attached to Grani as well. "It's surprising... Your tamer... He seems to share... The same feelings... As you..." Simon then said "Grani, I don't understand how this even happened. It's just like last time..." Grani then responds "That is because... You and my master... Are one and the same. However, you both seem like... The opposite of one another. In the end... It seems that... His memories... Have poured into you..." Simon and Gallantmon gave similar shocked reactions to this. "Now... The only thing... I can do now... Is give you... My... Power..." Grani started to fade away and his data was being absorbed by Gallantmon, who didn't move from his spot as the data was being absorbed by him. Gallantmon's facial expression, as well as Simon's seemed to be obscured by shadow. "Grani... I swear to you... You'll always be a part of us! No matter what happens!" Gallantmon began to change... His armor changed from silver with red shoulder and knee pads, to Entirely red with blue orbs in the center of the chest (which displayed his spiral symbol on his chest), around his knee pads and on his shoulder pads. His shades changed from triangle shades, to star shades. He also gained ten wings like Seraphimon.

"Gallantmon... Crimson Mode." Gallantmon called out his new mode change. Vamdemon looked at the knight and said "So, you think that your form changing will save you? THINK AGAIN!" Vamdemon had his dragon heads try attacking Gallantmon who summoned his further enhanced Falchion and made one stroke... Which ended up dicing up the three headed dragon, thus causing Vamdemon to abandon his flying fortress. "Oh... Now this is intriguing. My fortress may be gone... But, I have to wonder... Can you hope to best me as you are now?" Vamdemon said to Gallantmon who was silent for a bit until he looked at Vamdemon and said "Vamdemon. For all of the Digimon you've killed, and for my best friend Grani..." Simon inside his data core with tears running down his face filled with rage finished "We're going to end you!"
