Dimension: DF-616/Unknown Sector of the Digiverse/Beerusmon's Domain

"And begin!" Whismon shouted as Tai & VictoryGreymon and Matt & ZeedGarurumon went head to head for a quick spar.

Tai and Matt traded a quick series of fisticuffs. Matt went for a punch, which Tai parried and went for a punch of his own. Matt quickly caught Tai's punch and grabbed his arm. Tai broke loose from Matt's grip and rushed forward with a kick, sending Matt flying.

VictoryGreymon drew out his Dramon Breaker and swung it down. ZeedGarurumon swerved away, evading VictoryGreymon's attack.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST – Beerus' Tea Time)

Whismon stood on the sidelines observing the sparring match.

"Are they still at it?" Beerusmon asked as he approached Whismon.

"Yes, of course they won't stop until they're ready to fight you, Lord Beerusmon."

The purple cat deity grunted. "Hah, they're welcome to try! By the way, I know you've been sneaking off to Earth a few times to grab some of their fancy delicacies. Have you brought me some?!"

"As a matter of fact, I was thinking of you, my lord," Whismon replied cheerily. He raised a hand and a pizza box materialized in his hand. "Special delivery!" he tossed the box to Lord Beerusmon.

Catching the pizza box, Beerusmon's nose twitched as he sniffed the fresh out of the oven aroma of pepperoni and cheese pizza. He opened the pizza box as his eyes lit up over the delicious looking pizza

"Oh my, this smell! My nostrils are flaring up!"

"I keep forgetting what the name of this popular Earth dish is, but everyone I've seen there seems to love."

"Well, time to give it my taste test. If it's good, I'll spare their world for another hundred years," Beerusmon licked his mouth, carrying the box with him. "I think I'll enjoy it while those four fools keep bashing their brains in!"

"It'll be a while before they're done sparring for the day," Whismon sighed, veering from Beerusmon as he eyed the Ascendant rivals and the Digimon exchanging attacks.

(End theme)

Matt ran up and unloaded with a series of punches on Tai. Tai dodged and parried Matt's punches, enabling him to gain an upper hand. ZeedGarurumon swooped up and bit down on VictoryGreymon's sword. As ZeedGarurumon disarmed him, VictoryGreymon caught ZeedGarurumon with a tackle. VictoryGreymon tossed ZeedGarurumon around and threw him into the ground.

"Give up, ZeedGarurumon?" VictoryGreymon asked his sparring partner.

ZeedGarurumon got up, grunting hard while shaking off ground debris. "You wish!"

Tai grabbed Matt and tossed him overhead. Matt flipped around and kicked Tai in the chest.

"You've let your guard down!" Matt yelled out, to which Tai pushed Matt's foot away and used Instant Movement to get behind him. "Gah!" As he whirled around, he turned into Tai's fist and was sent sailing back.

"Nah, my guard's up! You're the one who needs to keep his guard up!" Tai called out, laughing out loud. He watched Matt floating around wiping his side lip. "You wanna keep this up?"

"Stupid question to ask me," Matt scoffed in response, beckoning Tai to attack him.

As the Bearers of Courage and Friendship continued their hard-hitting spar, Whismon sat down on a rock with Beerusmon.

"Matt's certainly improved since he started training here. He was so adamant about getting ahead after that parasitic alien made use of his body and Ascendant power," Whismon observed Tai and Matt's heated spar. "No doubt Tai becoming Ascendant God pushed him, but that Bebimon creature was the final straw."

"Feh, Bebimon. They should've offered me a new delicious dish and I'd be happy to wipe out that nuisance in no time."

"If you weren't still asleep, perhaps, but thankfully Tai and his friends were able to purge that creature out of Matt," Whismon said, glaring intently into the tiny orb situated on his staff. "There was no need for us to intervene since Omega X was able to tap into his Ascendant God reserves. And with my training, he and Matt were able to delve into a deeper well."

Beerusmon snorted as he pulled out a pizza slice. "Just admit you're just prepping them to fight me. You're just wasting their time!"

"Oh, I wouldn't dare do such a thing, Lord Beerusmon! Go on, eat your meal before it gets cold."

"Fine, I'll eat it only because you say it's delicious!" Beerusmon bit into the warm cheese and sauce melting into his mouth. His face lit up with delight.

"I take it you like it?"

"Whismon, this one certainly hits the spot!"

Whismon chuckled. "Glad you like it." He painstakingly eyed the orb on his staff. His facial features conveyed a slight apprehensive glare. "Hmm, this ominous foreboding heading for Earth." Why am I sensing RedNovaDemon's aura? He glanced from Beerusmon, and then shifted over to Tai and Matt. I should break this to them... Lord Beerusmon's had issues with RedNovaDemon in the past. And to halt their training now. Oh, decisions, decisions! "Time out, Tai and Matt."

Tai and Matt ceased their sparring match.

"What's up, Whismon?" Tai asked the angel.

"We were just getting into it here," Matt said.

Whismon offered. "I figure we could accelerate y'alls training." He pointed to the orb sitting atop his staff. "You two and your Digimon partners could actually benefit in a dimension similar to the Room of Time you use in Azulongmon's realm."

"Wait, you house your own Room of Time in that staff of yours?!" The Bearer of Courage yelled out.

"Um, and you neglected to tell us this sooner?" Matt snorted.

"Well, I do love keeping surprises to myself! So sorry, but I figured you wouldn't need it," Whismon said. "I also wish to accelerate your training so you two are better utilize your Ascendant God powers."

"Whoa, then what are we waiting for?!" Tai exclaimed happily. He pivoted over to Matt. "Well, buddy? What do you say?"

"That's an offer I can't refuse."

"Call your Digimon partners over so we can start."

"VictoryGreymon!"

"ZeedGarurumon!"

"Yeah?" The two Digimon stopped their training.

"Come here, we've got a surprise," Tai beckoned them. "Seems Whismon wants to push our training further!"

VictoryGreymon and ZeedGarurumon reconvened with Tai and Matt. They gathered under Whismon, who raised his staff.

"Now, open Time Dimension!" Whismon called out as his staff's orb glowed and pulled the four into it.

Beerusmon witnessed this with a scowl. "Whismon, you possibly don't think they'll survive in there?"

"Only one way to find out, Lord Beerusmon," the angel peeked inside the orb, which showed Tai & VictoryGreymon and Matt & ZeedGarurumon in a spacious dimension similar to the Room of Time.

Whismon's Time Room

"Wow! This is just like the Room of Time!" Tai gazed around in awe. "Except the gravity's here a little heavier."

"And that's going to stop you?" Matt said as he floated around with ZeedGarurumon.

"No way! We're taking full advantage of this!" Tai pumped his fists. "You ready, VictoryGreymon?"

"Ready when you are, Tai!" VictoryGreymon smashed both fists together, as intense flames burst from his knuckles.

Earth/Outskirts of Yumenoshima, Tokyo, Japan (ゆめのしま, ときょ, じゃぱん)/11:35 AM

(Cue Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children OST – Those Who Fight)

The battle cries of hundreds of troops, the hisses of Xenomorphs, and roars of Daleks filled the area. The Shadow Creepers joined in with the Buriza Force troops, Xenomorphs, and Daleks to attack the Ascendants, Kai Destined, and their other cohorts.

"Spread out!" Max commanded. "Keep them as far away from Tokyo and its people!"

"Let's do this!" TK yelled out as he and Angemon readied for battle.

The D3s & the Kaijuu Digimon, TK & Angemon, Kari & Angewomon, BanchoLeomon & Bantyo gang, Pikkan, BW, and Sheila stayed behind to fight the central forces. Meanwhile, Davis & Imperialdramon, Ken & GranKuwagamon, Yolei & Valkyrimon, Dorothy & Avengemon, Sonja, and Iron Man headed off to intercept the Buriza Forces that went straight for Odaiba.

Max and Gojiramon first attacked a couple of Burizalor Force troops. Max punched one down and caught another with a spinning back kick. Gojiramon expelled his Atomic Flame, which engulfed a Xenomorph and exposed it's weakness to fire as it exploded. The loud high-pitched scream of the slain Xenomorph filled the now crowded battlefield.

TK parried a fish-faced soldier's blows and caught him with a punch, sending him flying back. Angemon powered up his right and blasted away several Buriza soldiers with his Hand of Fate.

"Keep it up, Angemon!" TK encouraged his Digimon partner.

Kari rushed a few soldiers and hit them with successive calm strikes, knocking them all out. She looked up as Angewomon fired a Celestial Arrow, taking out a Shadow Creeper.

"That's the way, Angewomon! Light conquers darkness!" Kari cried out.

Keke tossed two Rosemary Discs, which sliced a Xenomorph in two and beheaded another. As two Buriza soldiers tried to ambush her, Mosuramon expelled threads that kept them at bay.

"Ok, Mosuramon! Let's get serious! Evolve!" Keke declared, pulling out a Digivice, which sent a pink beam that bathed over Mosuramon.

"Mosuramon Evolve to...!" The Rookie-level caterpillar shouted as the pink light doubled as a cocoon, which while inside she underwent and completed her metamorphosis into a beautiful giant white moth with two colored wings. The colors of her wings consisted of red, blue, and gold. Tufts of white fur covered her body. Her enormous eyes became blue. She retained her mandible. "Mothramon!"

The giant moth flew over Keke and flapped her wings, sending a powerful gust of wind that sent several troops and Xenomorphs sailing back.

"All right, Mothramon!" Keke cheered her Digimon on. "Our training paid off!"

As Keke headed off to take care of the troops and Xenomorphs, Mothramon flew over to Angemon and Angewomon to provide aerial support against Shadow Creepers.

Two Daleks dropped in on Tike & Radonmon and David & Angirasumon. After the boys dispatched of two troops, they turned as the Daleks fired at them.

"Humans on sight!"

"Humans on sight!"

The Daleks shouted their trademark attack phrase. "Exterminate! EXTERMINATE!" They fired beams toward the Ascendant boys and their Digimon.

"Hang on!" Tike grabbed Radonmon as he flew them up.

David grabbed Angirasumon and dodged the incoming beams. "Yikes! I hear they shoot instant kill beams, right?!"

"Yeah, don't let them get ya, David!" Tike warned. "Man, Max would always tell us these guys were bad news!"

"Shall I evolve now, Tike?" Radonmon asked.

"Hang on, I got a better idea! Hey, David, follow my lead!" Tike beckoned his friend over.

"Ok!"

As the boys and their Kaijuu partners headed straight for the Daleks, the alien mutants. The Dalek fired their beams, which the Ascendant boys dodged like crazy.

"Hey over, here, ya oversized trash cans!" Tike stuck his tongue out. He then Radonmon, David, and Angirasumon, using Instant Movement to teleport them out of harm's way.

The Daleks were left confused as to where they vanished. However, their scanners picked up on a biosignature trace right in between them. Tike materialized in the space between the Daleks and flipped them both off.

"Can ya read sign language?!" Tike goaded them

As Daleks took offense, they fired beams at Tike. Tike used Instant Movement, making the Daleks blow their tops off.

Boom!

"Ahaha! Y'all are suckass shots!" Tike laughed at the two wrecked Daleks.

"Nice one, Tike!" David cheered him on.

"Heads up, Tike! We got company!" Radonmon yelled out as two Shadow Creepers flew down from above.

"We'll take care of this!" Angirasumon insisted as he jumped up out of David's arms.

Both Tike and David's Digivices lit up and shot beams that engulfed both Kaijuu Digimon.

"Hell yeah! Go for it, Radonmon!"

"Go, Angirasumon!"

"Radonmon Evolve to...!" Radonmon shouted as the beam of light formed a shell over him. As the shell cracked open, a large red-skinned pterosaur with three yellow horns protruded, forming a 'crown'-like shape. "Rodanmon!"

"Angirasumon Evolve to...!" Angirasumon roared as the beam of light covered him. In place of the small spiked ankylosaur was a gargantuan version of said creature with dark brown skin and silver spikes, which covered his back, shoulders, and tail. "Anguirusmon!"

Rodanmon jetted up and expelled a fiery blast, taking out one Shadow Creeper.

Anguirusmon rolled into a ball and smashed the other Shadow Creeper into the ground.

"BOOYAH!" Tike and David cheered their partners on.

Rodanmon and Anguirusmon let out triumphant roars as they turned their attention to some Buriza Force troops heading their way.

Sam lunged at a Buriza soldier and drilled a beam through his chest. He turned around to see Baranmon, who glided around avoiding Xenomorph acid spit.

"Baranmon!" Sam yelled out as he rushed and blasted away the Xenomorph.

Just then, four more Xenomorphs surrounded Sam and Baranmon.

"Take them out, Baranmon!" Sam commanded, taking out a Digivice.

As the Digivice lit up, Baranmon's body lit up with immense energy. His small body quickly expanded into an enormous size.

"Baranmon Evolve to...!" Baranmon cried out as he emerged into a larger version of his Rookie form. The row of spikes on his back jutted out. "Varanmon!" Varanmon swiped at two Xenomorphs, sending them flying back and crushing them like the 'bugs' they are.

Sam formed a triangle with his hands, sending a Tri-Beam at the other two Xenomorphs. After making short work of the aliens, Sam saw Kara taking down three Buriza troops.

"Caesarmon!" Kara beckoned her Digimon partner as she raised her Digivice.

"Caesarmon Evolve to...!" Caesarmon roared as a golden light washed over him. He transformed from his miniature size into a gigantic biped shisa beast. Tufts of golden fur, expanding like a lion's mane, covered his head. "KingCaesarmon!"

KingCaesarmon raised his foot and stomped on the three Buriza soldiers. Kara fired off her variation of Special Beam Cannon that took out a Buriza soldier and a Xenomorph.

"Nice! KingCaesarmon definitely fits you!" Kara shouted.

"Heh, why don't we show them who the real King of Monster is, buddy," Max winked to Gojiramon. He took out his Digivice.

"Let's kick some butt!" Gojiramon shouted as he jumped up and became engulfed in a golden pillar of light. "Gojiramon Evolve to! Godzillamon!"

Godzillamon let out his trademark roar, which shook the whole island. He pivoted toward Buriza troops, Xenomorphs, and Shadow Creepers. He curled his giant lips and opened his mouth, firing off his Atomic Inferno, which the blew away and incinerated the poor saps away.

(End theme)

"What'ca think now, Warlord?! You want to send your guy to tangle with the King?!" Max goaded his nemesis, who watched with interest.

The Warlord unfolded his arms and raised his Dark Digivice. "Go, Gaiganmon. You're up!"

(Cue Godzilla: Final Wars OST – Gigan Awakens)

With that, Gaiganmon descended as he evolved into Giganmon and confronted Godzillamon. The Kaijuu Digimon encircled each other in the middle of the sea. Godzillamon and Giganmon hastily rushed each other and clobbered each other, which was becoming reminiscent of the Japanese Kaijuu films.

"Yeah! Stay on him, Godzillamon!"

Warlord scowled. "The hell are you doing, Giganmon?! Get your ass up!"

Elsewhere, BanchoLeomon punched back a Buriza soldier and jumped kicked another down. He spun around and slashed another with his claws. Four Xenomorphs charged at him, swinging around their spiked tails.

"Feh, you don't want none of this!" BanchoLeomon snarled, drawing out his Pantera Sword. He beckoned the four aliens to attack him again.

As one lunged from behind, he swung his sword and cut it in two. He turned and saw another lunge from the front. He beheaded that Xenomorph. Another charged from the right, but BanchoLeomon ensnared the alien's neck and tossed it up. The other alien rushed him from opposite sides. He tossed his Pantera Sword up, which impaled through the alien's chest. He then discharged Ki blasts from his hands and obliterated the two Xenomorphs. As the Pantera Sword landed, it had the remaining Xenomorph pinned down. BanchoLeomon ripped out the sword and blasted the alien away.

Sheila made short work of three Buriza troops and two Xenomorphs. She used her paralysis threads to bind her victims.

"Finish them off now!" BanchoLeomon harshly ordered Sheila.

"I'm not deaf, kitty cat," Sheila shrugged, twisting the threads with her fingers as she snapped the troops and Xenomorphs' necks. She brushed her hair and turned to meet more Buriza troops. "Your funeral, boys." She taunted them with a seductive smirk.

(End theme)

(Cue Kill la Kill OST – Ira Gamagori Theme)

"RAUGH! TRY PENETRATING THIS WALL!" BanchoGolemon roared, goading a few Buriza troops to attack him.

The troops wailed and punched on BanchoGolemon. BanchoGolemon glared down intensely.

"You call those punches, you pussies?! PATHETIC!" BanchoGolemon backhanded the troops, sending them sailing into the air. "If that's all you've got, you'll never break me, Team Bantyo's Impenetrable Wall! BanchoGolemon!"

Sitting on top of some slain Xenomorphs and paralyzed troops, BanchoStingmon fiddled with his claws. "Neutralizing these foes was a cinch for me. Nothing that a little venom can't do the trick. Right, BanchoMamemon?"

BanchoMamemon finished beating on a soldier. "You have that right. Thankfully BanchoLeomon trained us hard to prepare for a momentous day like this."

Sitting on a few dead Xenomorphs, BanchoLilimon snarked as she played with a green yo-yo. "Oh, please, I hardly broke a sweat. Maybe you're just trying too hard to impress BanchoLeomon?"

"Maybe you can lend us a hand more, BanchoLilimon? After all we are a team," BanchoMamemon said.

BanchoLilimon scoffed. "We may be a team, but every enemy kill for ourselves. By the way, I'm keeping up score and I've stacked up more kills than any of you three."

"Team Bantyo, there's plenty more where that came from! Keep at it and don't let up!" BanchoLeomon called to his team as he and Sheila headed off more Buriza troops.

BanchoGolemon barked. "You heard, our fearless leader! Keep fighting until we achieve victory!"

"Right!" The other three Bantyo Digimon shouted passionately as they spread out to thin out more of the enemy forces.

On another side of the battlefield, Pikkan was caught in an aerial battle with Daleks. He was surrounded by four, who prepared to fire at him.

"Surrender now!"

"Or be EXTERMINATED!"

"How about not, tinheads?" The Alterian smirked, smashing his fists together and unleashed his Thunder Flash Attack. He quickly targeted and blasted off the Daleks' heads.

As the Daleks tried putting up their barriers, try as they might but Pikkan's attack blew their tops off, causing them to fall to the ocean.

"What's that about extermination?" Pikkan remarked.

BW gathered immense energy in his hands and tossed his Terra Destroyer, quickly obliterating three Shadow Creepers.

(End theme)

Witnessing their troops and recruits being destroyed, Sorbetmon was fuming mad, but the Three Fiends stayed calm in the face of their situation.

"Sirs, permission granted to send Tagomamon and Shisamimon?" Sorbetmon asked them.

"Sure, why not?" Cyrus answered Sorbetmon's request. "After all, they survived training with us and have gotten a great deal stronger."

Burizalor complied with Sorbetmon's suggestion. "Send them down to fight. Tagomamon and Shisamimon, turn your attack on BanchoLeomon and Max Kamiya's crew."

"As you command, Lord Burizalor!" Tagomamon replied as he floated down.

"Will do sirs!" Shisamimon bowed as descended with Tagomamon.

Meanwhile, Burizalor floated over to Sorbetmon.

"Are Project-BebiMephisto and SIN ready to be initiated?"

"Ready to be unleashed on your command."

An evil smirk adorned the tyrant's face. "Excellent."

Just then, Tike and David turned to see Tagomamon near them. Shisamimon landed right near BanchoLeomon, Sheila, and the Bantyo Team.

"Ok, boys, let's see what you're made of," Tagomamon popped his knuckles and smirked, beckoning Tike and David to attack him.

"You want some of us?" Tike rolled his eyes. "Ok, but don't say we didn't warn ya!"

David dropped into a battle stance. "Bring it on!"

Keke, Kara, and Sam caught on to Tike and David's confrontation with Tagomamon.

BanchoLeomon readily drew his Pantera Sword and pointed it at Shisamimon. "You want some of this?"

Sheila scoffed at the red bull-horned alien. "There's only one of him. Piece of cake."

BanchoGolemon smashed his fists together. "You needn't worry, boss! We'll fight him in your place!" He called forth his colleagues to join him. "Because Team Bantyo will deliver the punishment to this fiend!"

Shisamimon growled deeply, irked by Team Bantyo's eccentric behavior. "You'll be eating those words, you punks."

Odaiba, Tokyo, Japan (お台場、東京、日本)/11:50 AM

(Cue Dragon Ball FighterZ OST - West City Stage)

People fled in terror as an amassed gathering of Buriza troops sprayed laser blasts from their pistols. Others freely fired Ki blasts, sending thousands to flee for their lives. The streets became congested with vehicles being left behind as passengers stormed out for their lives.

"Hah, just look at the naked simians run!" A fish-lipped alien soldier cackled at the people.

"How about some target practice then?!" A peach-skinned humanoid added, aiming and preparing to blast away a crowd of people. "Don't take this seriously. We're just here to thin out the herds!"

As he fired, Davis dropped down out of nowhere and batted the beam aside.

"What the...?!" Before the two soldiers could finish, Ken dropped down behind them and smashed their heads together.

"Nice one, Ken!" Davis shot his friend a thumbs up.

"Behind you!" Ken warned.

Not even looking over his shoulder, Davis elbowed a Buriza soldier in the gut and grabbed him. Giving him a farewell salute complete with a grin, Davis tossed the enemy soldier and let Imperialdramon obliterate him with a Positron Laser.

"GranKuwagamon, let's clear these streets of this filth!" Ken called out, referring to the enemy as the filth. Having recently learned to fly and harness his suppressed Ascendant power, Ken took to the air and flew alongside GranKuwagamon.

"Imperialdramon, we've got work to do!" Davis said, but before he left he saw Sonja going to town on some Buriza troops. "How are you holding up, babe?!"

"What does it look like? Bored now," Sonja scoffed, booting a soldier in the face and breaking his neck. She quickly sighted Daleks descending toward them. "Heads up, Davis!"

"Great, it's the flying trash cans! Hey, just what did Burizalor offer you to fight on his side?!" Davis demanded, to which the Daleks responded by firing at him.

Davis backflipped, evading the Dalek's deadly blasts. He retaliated by lobbing successive Ki blasts, which the Daleks absorbed using their shields.

"Nuts!"

"Burizalor offered let us deliver any Ascendant to Lord Davros for experimentation! And to assimilate Digimon kind!" A Dalek answered lifelessly.

Another Dalek roared. "And now you all shall face annihilation! EXTERMINATE!"

"EXTERMINATE!"

As the Daleks fired blasts, Davis and Sonja quickly evaded. Imperialdramon glided over the Dalek army and dropped a Positron Laser, which knocked away the Daleks.

"Imperialdramon, you're making yourself a bigger target for them! Let's go Ascendant form!" Davis beckoned to his partner.

"EXTERMINATE!" A Dalek fired a beam toward Imperialdramon, who quickly de-evolved into Veemon and flew right into Davis.

As Davis and Veemon grasped hands, a golden column of light engulfed the partners. They merged to become Ultima X. The Bearer of Miracles floated up bathed in golden energy.

"Now that's more like it," Sonja smirked, forming a yellow disc in her right hand and beheading a Dalek with it.

Near Rainbow Bridge (レインボーブリッジ)/11:52 AM

As Ultima X and Sonja took the fight to the Daleks, Dorothy and Avengemon helped evacuate the Odaiba people.

"This way!" Dorothy glided over the crowds with Avengemon. Both helped lead them toward the Rainbow Bridge.

Just then, the crowds fled once Xenomorphs and Buriza troops landed on the bridge. The troops opened fire on the people. Xenomorphs were unleashed.

"Everyone, get back!" Dorothy called out, diving head-on and through the Buriza soldiers. She pulled out and brandished her staff. She swung her staff, making it extend and batted away many Buriza soldiers.

Avengemon raced over and blasted a few Xenomorphs away. He grabbed a Buriza soldier and tossed him into another. He then fired a blast and deleted the soldiers.

Dorothy swung around her staff several times, spinning so quickly she used her own momentum and launched herself toward Xenomorphs and Buriza troops. She cupped her hands to her right side to forge a ball of blue Ki. She fired off a Tsunami Wave that swept away and obliterated them.

"Whew, that should clear the bridge!" She yelled out in elation. "This way, folks!"

"Follow us through the bridge!" Avengemon called to the people.

"Sheesh, where are you Tai?!" Dorothy wondered about her foster father's whereabouts. She and Avengemon paused as they sighted Xenomorphs crawling and scaling down the bridge. "We've got to keep these things as far away from the people, Avengemon!"

"And we will, Dorothy!"

"Times like these I wish Dee wasn't asleep. Maybe I should wake him. Oh well, can't be helped!" Dorothy sighed, brandishing and twirling her staff. "Ok, you overgrown bugs, bring it!"

Not too far off from the bridge, Yolei and Valkyrimon aided in evacuating more people out of Odaiba. They saw Ken and GranKuwagamon heading their way.

"Ken! How are Sam and the others doing?" Yolei asked worryingly about their future son and his friends.

"They're fighting off a large army back near what used to be Yumenoshima. It's horrible. Burizalor and his men pretty much wiped it off the map!" Ken conveyed his disdain for the tyrant's ruthless act. "And to make matters worse, the Warlord's back."

"Your brother's..."

"Correction, that monster is not my brother. My brother died along ago."

The purple-haired woman nodded understanding her boyfriend's past dilemmas. "Yeah, sorry about that."

"Um, hate to interrupt, but we've got company!" Valkyrimon exclaimed as some Shadow Creepers headed their way.

"We can handle them, but just to make things quicker. GranKuwagamon?" Ken turned to his Digimon partner. He placed a hand over GranKuwagamon and took out his D-3. He invoked the little Ascendant power he recently tapped into.

"You're really going to do it, Ken?"

"Yeah, Yolei. I might have taken a bulk of Ascendant power through my Crest of Kindness, but it should be efficient enough," the Bearer of Kindness tapped into his Crest's power as GranKuwagamon turned into a pillar of lavender light.

(Cue Dragon Ball FighterZ OST - Tien Theme)

As Ken became consumed by the lavender light, he transformed right away into his Ascendant form. Emerging in their place was a warrior garbed in Kamen Rider armor motif, but was maskless and wearing golden spiky hair. Then, a Kamen Rider-like mask slid over his face. Ken had become the Ascendant known as Zordiark X, a form he recently gained via training with his son Sam.

"Man, I'll never get used to this," Yolei gazed in awe at Ken's transformation. "This is my second time seeing you like this, but it's surreal knowing you've become Ascendant." She smirked.

"I would've done it sooner if I hadn't been putting it off. I have our son, Sam, to thank for this," Zordiark X said as he jetted forward and intercepted the Shadow Creepers. "Going somewhere?!" With that, he amassed a purple orb of energy and tossed it to the Shadow Creepers, quickly wiping them out.

"Here come some more fodder!" Yolei shouted as a few Buriza soldiers fired beams at their direction.

Both Zordiark X and Valkyrimon interceded the Buriza troops' blasts as they tore through the enemy forces.

Iron Man made good for the Japanese people by evacuating them. He further showed his heroics by blasting away building debris that nearly crushed civilians.

"Thank you, Iron Man!" A Japanese youth hollered for his new hero.

"My pleasure. Now, everyone get out of here and head for safety!" Iron Man ordered.

As the citizens fled, Iron Man was left behind to deal with some pests. He froze up hearing loud hissing. Iron Man slowly turned his head, scanning heat signals emanating from six different sources.

"Hey, didn't I see y'all in those Sigourney Weaver movies?" Iron Man noticed six Xenomorphs encircling him and hissing loudly. He saw one gap its mouth revealing its trademark 'second mouth'. "Didn't your mother teach you not to stick your tongue out? Not nice." He fired a small missile that blew up the Xenomorph.

The other five Xenomorphs sprang away avoiding the explosion.

"All right, boys. Line 'em up. Who goes first?" Iron Man then proceeded to pulse blast each Xenomorph into gory fashion. "Screw it, you're all fair game." He noticed the alien's blood eating through the ground. "Acid for blood? So glad that stuff didn't mess up my suit. JARVIS, analyze the substance." With that, the AI in his suit scanned the acid blood.

"The substance contains molecular acid."

"Yikes, that'll burn through anything. Are there more of these things?"

"Allow me to scan perimeters."

Tony saw what JARVIS was scanning and picked up on similar heat signals to the Xenomorphs. "Oh great, just what I need. Well, I've got Tai's friends to help out. Let's go evacuate more people, JARVIS."

Just then, he noticed a bolt of thunder shoot down in the distance.

"What the hell was that?" Tony was taken by surprise by this development. "There's no storm clouds out today. Wait, I've heard about thunder of this nature in New Mexico. Just as Phil described it. No way, can it be…?"

Several Buriza troops and Xenomorphs approached a tall blonde-haired and bearded burly figure covered in a lightning aura. The figure raised a hammer overhead and slammed it down hard, sending the soldiers and creatures flying back.

The figure gritted and summoned a bolt of thunder through his mystical hammer. "The Odinson has arrived to deal punishment to you, otherworlders!" He swung and bashed a Xenomorph's head wide open with it and knocked away a Buriza troop with a bolt. "Have at thee!"

Outside of Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building (東京都庁舎)/Shinjuku District, Japan (新宿区, 東京)/12:05 PM

(Cue Independence Day OST - Base Attack (0:45-6:13))

The military lined up as they doubled their manpower and weapons to barricade the entrance to the government building. They fired upon the Buriza troops, Xenomorphs, and a Dalek. Even their conventional weaponry didn't put a dent to the Fiends' forces. The Buriza soldiers quickly cut through the military's defenses. Xenomorphs lunged at a few unsuspecting soldiers and punctured holes in them using their second mouths. The Dalek's barriers helped absorb the military's blows and fired beams that killed a handful of soldiers.

"You call yourselves a military?! Pathetic!" A Buriza grunt laughed at the 'inferior' opposition he and his men were dealing with.

The Dalek roared vehemently. "Humans shall since extinction! EXTERMINATE!"

Just then, a bombardment of fireballs rained from above and blasted the ground, driving the enemy from the government building.

"Look!" A female soldier pointed to a giant phoenix Digimon descending and carrying Sora with her.

"And there's another!" Another soldier, a male, saw a golden Hercules beetle flying over the vicinity with Izzy.

"We'll take things from here!" Sora called out to the special forces.

Izzy was flabbergasted by the appearance of the famed Sci-Fi villains. "Please tell me I'm not seeing the creatures from the Alien movies and a Dalek!"

"It would make you feel better if I told you were."

"Not really, but Burizalor's soldiers will prove the most problematic," Izzy said, typed at his laptop to scan the enemies in the vicinity. "Even still, one Dalek is more than enough to wipe out the armed forces alone."

"Thank goodness we came," Sora added. "I can't believe Burizalor, the Warlord, and Cyrus were able to find Xenomorphs and Daleks!"

"Now we know what happens when villains make use of dimension travel. Bad things like this happen," the Bearer of Knowledge stated. "Thank goodness I happen to know these characters from all the collective shows and movies I binge during work time."

Sora blinked. "You watch TV?"

"Nope, online, because who still watches TV regularly these days?" Izzy shrugged. "Look, that's besides the point..."

"Humph two of the Chosen here?!" A Buriza soldier scoffed. "Commander, we shall eliminate them!"

"No questions asked! Attack the Chosen now!" Ordered a blue-skinned alien brute with a mustache.

As the Buriza soldiers fired on Phoenixmon and HerculesKabuterimon, the Digimon evaded the barrage of blasts. Two Xenomorphs jumped up to attack, but Phoenixmon launched fiery blasts that burned the two aliens alive, reducing them to charred bits. HerculesKabuterimon mowed through some Buriza Force troops with his horn.

The lone Dalek floated up minimizing the distance between it and the two Digimon. The Who villain zeroed in on Izzy and Sora, firing blasts toward them. Phoenixmon and HerculesKabuterimon swerved around the incoming blasts.

"Oh, this thing won't get off our butts already!" Sora wailed.

"Not if we fight back!" Izzy said, ordering HerculesKabuterimon to attack.

The Dalek fired another beam from its gunstick, to which Izzy summoned a weapon using his internal Crest power. He brought out his Shield of Knowledge, which deflected the beam to the Dalek. The blast hit the Dalek, neutralizing its defenses.

"Go for it, HerculesKabuterimon!"

The golden-armored behemoth discharged an electrical ball from its horn. His Mega Electro Shocker impacted the Dalek and engulfed it. The electrical surge caused it to explode.

"Now, Phoenixmon!" Sora commanded while summoning a bow and arrows. She fired her Arrows of Love, which ignited a few Xenomorphs on fire and killed them.

Phoenixmon swooped down, flapping her wings and unleashing fiery projectiles that took down a few soldiers.

"Locked on target!" Bellowed the blue-skinned brute alien, pointing and firing toward Sora.

"Sora, behind you!" Phoenixmon called out to her partner. She quickly dove to save Sora.

As the beam came toward her, Sora turned and saw it coming toward her. Suddenly, her body seemed to instinctively move on its own without second thought. She swerved as the beam headed past her. Sora gasped realizing this.

"Huh?!" The alien balked in disbelief.

Did I just dodge that… on my own?! Sora thought, just realizing what she had done.

"Lucky dodge! Now dodge this!" The alien bellowed, preparing to fire at her.

Just then, Phoenixmon swooped down and launched a fiery blast at the alien. The blast quickly obliterated the alien.

"Nice save, Phoenixmon!" Sora called out.

Just then, one of the fallen Buriza troops recovered and aimed to shoot Sora. He fired, which Sora saw coming and stopped with her bow. She then fired an Arrow of Love and deleted the Buriza troop.

"Sora, are you ok?!" Izzy called out to her.

Sora snapped out of it. "...Izzy? Yeah, over here!" She looked at her bow and her hand. I was able to block that? I know I've been mental training, but this… it's like my reflexes got faster!

"Sora," Phoenixmon landed behind the Bearer of Love. "I saw what you did. It looks like your reflexes have gotten better." She said, fully aware of Sora's secret training.

"Yeah…" Sora furrowed her brows, staring at her hand, which subtly glowed with red Ki. As she focused, the red aura on her hand faded. "C'mon, let's see if Izzy and HerculesKabuterimon need our help."

Observing the war from inside the top floor of the government building are Yamaki Mitsuo, Maki Himekawa, and Daigo Nishijima. They kept surveillance on the heated battles.

"Thank goodness they came through," Daigo said, sighing with relief.

"Always count on them, my friends," Yamaki said.

"Cutting it too close as far as I'm concerned," Maki furrowed her brows, folding her arms. "Yet I don't see the man of the hour."

"You mean Tai Kamiya? Yeah, I do wonder that myself," Daigo scratched his head in befuddlement. "You'd think he'd be here."

"He usually has a bad habit of showing up late," Yamaki informed them. "But, trust me, he'll get here."

"HELP!" Came a loud scream outside, causing Yamaki, Daigo, and Maki to look out for the source of the yell.

"Hey, isn't that?!" Daigo pointed outside.

"Help!" A young woman cried out fearfully.

They spotted a young woman with long dark hair and casual wear cornered by Buriza troops. The woman was holding an orange-haired cat with twin tails and helix-shaped tail tips.

Maki gaped in aghast. "Meiko Mochizuki! Ugh, what did I tell her about staying inside?!"

"Her Digimon, Meicoomon, should protect her!" Daigo added.

As he said this, Meicoomon's eyes flared as she prepared to defend Meiko from the Buriza troops.

"Never fear! Meryl's here!" Came a loud shout from out of nowhere.

Everyone, including Yamaki and his colleagues, looked up to see Meryl standing proudly with arms folded. Standing beside her were two Digimon: LadyDevimon and Angewomon.

"And with my two partners! We've come to fight in the champ's place! My father, Mummymon!" Meryl shouted as Sora, Izzy, and their Digimon sweatdropped and gawked at Meryl's hero entrance.

"Did Mummymon really send his own daughter to fight in his place?!" Sora exclaimed.

Izzy muttered. "Wouldn't surprise me."

Meryl was quick to correct them. "Wrong! I sneaked out our mansion without daddy's permission and vow to bring justice to the bad guys!"

Izzy and Sora facefaulted. "So, you've become an delinquent!"

"No! I'm going to make daddy proud!" Meryl heroically announced, raising her Digivice into the air. "LadyDevimon, Angewomon, it's justice time! Let's bring the evil-doers down!"

"As you command, Lady Meryl!" LadyDevimon and Angewomon shouted in unison.

With that, LadyDevimon and Angewomon dove toward the Buriza troops cornering Meiko Mochizuki and Meicoomon. The troops turned their attack and fired a barrage of blasts at Meryl's co-partners. LadyDevimon and Angewomon grasped each other's hands and spun around. They fired back unleashing a combination of Celestial Arrows and Darkness Wave to blast away the grunts.

"Bwuh?!" Meiko blanched in shock.

"Whoa, so cool!" Meicoomon gleamed happily.

They looked up to see Meryl flying down on a glider and landing near them.

"Hello, are you ok, miss and kitty?!"

"Um, yes, but you shouldn't be here, little girl."

Meicoomon purred. "We're ok now!"

"Little girl?! I'm daughter of the Digital World champ! Me and my friend, the Digidestined, came to save you!" Meryl blatantly shouted. "Stand behind us! We'll take care of the bad guys! LadyDevimon, Angewomon, merge!" She commanded as her co-partners pressed each other's palms together and vanished in a blinding flash of purple light.

As they combined, the angel and demoness became Mastemon.

Nearly everyone witnessing this were mystified by this. Even Sora, Izzy, and their Digimon were flabbergasted by this development.

"So, this is the Biomerger Meryl's partners have been able to do?" Phoenixmon remarked.

"It's surreal. Still can't believe LadyDevimon and Angewomon could combine," Sora blinked thrice.

"Never mind that, more help for us isn't a bad thing," Izzy added as he profiled Mastemon on his Digimon Index. "Oh boy, she's Mega-level! No surprise since she's the combination of two Ultimate-level Digimon. She also manipulates light and darkness..."

"We figured that, Izzy," HerculesKabuterimon interjected.

"Ok, Mastemon! You know what to do!" Meryl pointed to the Buriza troops. "Get 'em!"

"Any foe that threatens my lady shall perish!" Mastemon declared, jetting across to attack the Buriza soldiers. She formed a ball of white light in one hand and a black ball in another. She compressed both spheres and launched a destructive gray beam that wiped out a handful of the Buriza troops.

"Yeah! Keep it up!" Meryl cheered her partner on.

Meiko gazed in awe. "Oh wow, she's incredible! But, my boyfriend can probably beat these guys quicker?"

"All in a day's work! Now to see if my Tike is ok!" Meryl said. "...wait, you got a boyfriend? And he's strong? Who is he?"

Meiko giggled. "Oh you'll see. He's a very strong guy."

"Yeah, well I can fight just as well! Meiko, let me join in and fight!" Meicoomon hopped out of Meiko's arms.

"All right, but we'll need to find Jax as soon as we can. He's not going too thrilled when we told him we left this facility," Meiko said, taking out her Digivice.

"He'll understand as long as I'm protecting you!" Meicoomon meowed as she evolved her Ultimate Form, Meicrackmon Vicious Mode. She grew into a fully grown humanoid Meicoomon. She gained red eyes. Her limbs, ears, and scarf-like appendages grew out. Her tail gained braids and a purple stinger at the end. She also gained a white mane that covered her collar and back. Her claws became human-like with four fingers each and red demonic claws. She also gained black armored patches on her shoulders, thighs, hands, and feet.

"Don't go too crazy, Meicoomon," Meiko meeped.

Meicrackmon VM wore a sadistic grin as she rushed at a few Buriza troops and slashed them with her red claws. A few quickly blasted Meicrackmon VM. Mastemon intervened and knocked back the Buriza troops.

"Don't worry I've got you covered!" Mastemon said. "Let's take down these evil-doers!"

Meicrackmon VM growled and wildly brandished her red claws.

"Hey, isn't that Meiko Mochizuki from our old high school?" Sora noticed the dark-haired young woman.

"She does look familiar! And wow her Digimon has gone through quite a growth spurt the last we saw her!" Izzy witnessed Meicrackmon VM and Mastemon taking out the Buriza troops.

Just then, they were interrupted by the arrival of a spaceship flying over them. To their shock, they saw Mimi and Palmon aboard.

"Whoa, Mimi?! Palmon?!" Sora and Izzy exclaimed.

As the roof of the spaceship popped open, Mimi and Palmon poked their heads out waving to their friends.

"Hey! What'ca still doing here?" Palmon asked them.

"Where do you two think you're going?!" Sora asked them both.

Mimi chuckled. "Where else? To where the others are fighting Burizalor, Warlord, and their associates! Besides, we're not going alone!" She pointed to Jacomon and Ryo (DF-616) sitting inside the ship.

Jacomon waved from the driver's seat. "Yo!"

"Hey, it's that weird guy again! Jacomon!" Sora pointed out.

"Maybe it's not the best idea for you guys to go out where the others are fighting Burizalor," Izzy suggested, to which Mimi snapped her fingers.

"Oh, relax! We won't get close to where all the action is!" Mimi added energetically. "I just want to see if Keke and the others are ok. Besides, I might have a plan that'll bring Tai and Matt to us."

"Yeah, we could use their help by now," Izzy nodded. "But, with them still training with Whismon..."

"We'll catch up, Mimi," Sora stated. "You and Palmon do your thing in getting Whismon's attention."

"You got it!" Mimi gave a thumbs up. "Jacomon, floor it!"

"Yes, ma'am...!" Jacomon quickly stopped himself. "What?! I don't take orders from anyone but my superiors...!"

"JUST GO!"

"Yes, Miss Mimi!" The alien gulped as he steered his spaceship forward at stupendous speeds.

Sora sweatdropped upon seeing the ship vanish into the distance. "...is it me, or has Mimi really stepped her game up these past few years?"

"Having your life be put in danger constantly will do that for you," Izzy said. "She's really taken charge. Anyway, we should help things here and follow."

"Oh, right!" Sora snapped back to reality of the situation.

Outskirts of Yumenoshima, Tokyo, Japan (ゆめのしま, ときょ, じゃぱん)/12:15 PM

The tide of the battle had gotten worse for the D3s and their cohorts. The Three Fiends witnessed Tagomamon and Shisamimon proving to be formidable opponents for the warriors.

Shisamimon ran roughshod through Team Bantyo. After out-muscling BanchoGolemon, he punched BanchoMamemon back and planted BanchoStingmon into the ground. BanchoLilimon was already laying on the ground looking worse for wear.

"BanchoLeomon, your team's about to bite the dust!" Sheila called out to him.

"Damn it!" Snarled BanchoLeomon, who fired a shockwave attack that knocked away some Buriza troops and headed off for his team.

Shisamimon prepared to put the boot to BanchoLilimon until BanchoGolemon grabbed him from behind.

"Hands off!" Shisamimon snorted in annoyance. He elbowed BanchoGolemon's gut and spun around clubbing his face.

(Cue Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' OST – Piccolo Struggles)

After laying out BanchoGolemon, he turned around and was met with a punch from BanchoLeomon.

"That's my crew you're beating on!" BanchoLeomon snarled, beckoning the red-skinned brute to attack him. "You want a challenge? I'm your guy."

Sheila landed beside BanchoLilimon and checked on the others. "Geez, y'all took a good ass-whooping. Relax, I'll take care of y'all."

"You'll fight me now!" BanchoLeomon dashed forward at the same exact time as Shisamimon.

Both had the same idea and punched each other's fists. A spark ignited from their fists. BanchoLeomon and Shisamimon's knuckles pressed hard against the other. Shisamimon attempted to gut shot BanchoLeomon, but the Bancho warrior grabbed Shisamimon's arm and tossed him to the side. Shisamimon landed on his feet and charged.

The two traded a few fisticuffs. As BanchoLeomon went for a sidekick, Shisamimon guarded using his right arm. Shisamimon then reared his fist back and went for punch the lion's head. But, BanchoLeomon fired a lion-faced projectile that pushed Shisamimon back. BanchoLeomon powered up into Burst Mode and fired his Flash Bantyo Punch, which impacted Shisamimon head-on.

"Rest in peace...!" Before BanchoLeomon could finish, Shisamimon appeared behind BanchoLeomon and clubbed him in the back.

"Crap!" Pikkan grunted as he flew over and caught Shisamimon's back with a Thunder Flash Attack.

This gave BanchoLeomon enough time to recover and attack Shisamimon again.

"Hang on, BanchoLeomon!" Kari called out to him.

"No, Kari! You help tend to BanchoLeomon's team! I'll take care of this! Seraphimon!" TK called out to his partner, who just evolved into Mega-level form. Invoking his Crest of Hope's energies, he and Seraphimon combined their powers to become WarAngemon.

"Sheila, me and Ophanimon can handle this," Kari said as she and Ophanimon started healing the Bantyo Digimon.

"Thanks, Kari," Sheila smiled, turning her attention to BanchoLeomon's fight with Shisamimon.

Upon seeing TK's transformation into an Ascendant, the Three Fiends became very intrigued with the result.

"See that, Lord Burizalor?" Cyrus pointed out. "Yamato's brother has shown us he's able to become a full-powered Ascendant."

"Same with X's crew," Warlord eyeing the D3s' fight with Tagomamon closely.

Tagomamon proved to be more than a match for Tike, David, Kara, and Sam. He brushed Sam aside and booted Kara back.

"Kara!" Tike and David cried out together.

The D3s' Digimon tried to intervene, but they were cut off by Buriza troops, Shadow Creepers, and Xenomorphs.

Meanwhile, Tagomamon parried Tike and David's blows. He sidestepped Tike and clubbed him in the back. He quickly grabbed David's foot and tossed him to Tike.

"That all you got?!"

"Not even close," BW appeared behind Tagomamon and put him a full nelson. "This fight isn't even close to being done. Not by a long shot!"

Tagomamon formed a crafty smirk and slid his arms out of BW's hold. He elbowed BW's chest hard and blasted him back. BW absorbed the impact of the blast and rebounded with a kick. Tagomamon and BW traded blows briefly until BW punched him square in the face.

To BW's dismay, Tagomamon didn't flinch.

"Is that all you've got, weakling?" Tagomamon snickered, grabbing BW's arm and twisting it.

"Ugh, damn!" BW tried to break loose from his enemy's hold.

(End theme)

"BW!" Max yelled while blasting Tagomamon away and saving his 'brother'. "I've got you, man!" He pulled BW to the side to check on his arm. "Man, these guys really did prep hard before coming here!" He looked up at the Three Fiends. "You three especially didn't waste time making good use of your resources!"

"Never thought I'd hear my nemesis credit us," Warlord half-heartedly clapped. "But, we came here to watch some killing. So..." He snapped his fingers. "Shisamimon, Tagomamon, let's see some bodies hit the floor!"

"Not if we have anything to say about it!" Tike and David powered up into Ascendants.

"About time, you two," Max muttered, propping BW up to his feet.

Keke glided over to where Tike and David faced off with Tagomamon.

"Boys, think you got this?" Keke asked the Ascendant kids.

"We've got this asshole!" Tike nodded.

Gazing in bewilderment, Burizalor was mesmerized by the number of Ascendants in his presence. Yes, that insufferable golden aura! How could I forget they wear the same gold as Taichi and that boy with the sword did?! Now even these snot-nosed brats can wield this power! He clenched his teeth hard while memories of Omega X and Angemon X burned into his head. He shook off the humiliating defeats he suffered and scowled at the Ascendant boys.

"Lord Burizalor?" Cyrus turned to his agitated master.

"Seeing these Ascendants must infuriate you."

"Until you yourself personally felt the heat of an Ascendant staring you down, you can't possibly comprehend their power!" Burizalor said, narrowing his eyes toward Sorbetmon.

"In other words, no shit, Sherlock," Warlord quipped.

"Yes, sir," Sorbetmon gulped.

"Don't let any of these Ascendants out of here alive! Show no mercy!" Burizalor hounded his subordinates.

"Yes, sir!" Tagomamon gleefully complied.

Burizalor's scowl faded as his calm smile returned. "And as for the rest of you, your demise shall come swiftly, but I want you to witness first hand the demise of Ascendant brats."

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST – Time to Strike Back)

"Brace yourselves, guys!" Max called to WarAngemon, Tike, and David.

"TK?" BanchoLeomon asked WarAngemon, who beckoned him back. "I had him."

"Maybe so, but let's not take any chances. Check on your team, BanchoLeomon. They need you. I'll handle him," WarAngemon muttered, locking eyes with Shisamimon.

Keke checked over Kara and Sam, who both recovered to see Tike and David in Ascendant mode.

"About time y'all went full power," Kara coughed, recovering from Tagomamon's attack.

"Sorbetmon, it's time to fetch Project-BebiMephisto and release Project-SIN."

"As you command, Lord Burizalor..." Before Sorbetmon could do so, a giant portal opened up right in the middle of the battlefield.

To the shock of everyone including the Three Fiends, Angemon X, Sailor Sedna, Dramon X, Sailor Orcus, and Red w/Pikachu emerged out of the portal. The newly arrived group scanned their surroundings and realized they dropped right in the middle of the war.

"Did we come too early, guys?" Angemon X asked.

"Dimitri, look!" Sailor Sedna pointed to the Three Fiends, but most specifically Burizalor.

"So, it's true after all...!" Angemon X exclaimed.

"This is him, huh?" Dramon X locked eyes with Burizalor.

Red blinked as he and Pikachu looked around. "Are you sure this is the right place to drop us in?"

"You guys came just in time," Max was relieved with their untimely arrival.

The Warlord and Cyrus were both none too pleased with this development. They had distressed looks as they saw Dramon X.

Burizalor, on the other hand, gritted his teeth hard at the sight of Angemon X and his group. "It's you...! After all this time, you decided to show yourself to me!" He dismounted from his hover chair. Shaking uncontrollably, memories of his demise at Angemon X's hands replayed in his head. "Now with you here, I can exact half of my revenge...!"

Next chapter: A Desperate Situation!

xxxxx

A/N: And we end on a timely cliffhanger thanks to Dimitri, Kensuke, Sedna, and company!

So, this chapter had quite a lot of battles to be had. Just as I said, a few battle extensions were implemented: 1)Sora's fight with the Buriza troops is expanded on as it showed her Crest powers and hints of her Ascendant energies surfaced.

2)Meiko, much like in the Resurrection B movie fic edition, makes a brief appearance, but here her presence is slightly expanded and is paired with Meicoomon. As far as Meiko and Meicoomon's roles in the DFK continuity, the events of tri never happen. Therefore, Meiko is just a friend the Chosen know from high school and Meicoomon remains her Digimon partner. Their roles will be minimal at best. As for Meiko's 'boyfriend', heh, keep reading on he'll appear in the next chapter. Sesshoru, credit goes to you for allowing me to incorporate this pairing in this series. ;)

3)A certain magic hammer wielder appears to smite a few invaders. The Odinson comes to fight.

4.)Not quite a battle scene, but I do show Whismon's staff orb doubling as a time room, which Tai, Matt, and their Digimon use to train inside. This allows for them to train hard and tap into some 'blue power'.

So, I've cut all the YYGDM-01 related scenes since the focus will be primarily on the DFK/DF-616 universe conflicts. That cuts the original version of Resurrection B chapter 4 in half.

Yes, the other Kaijuu Digimon have shown off their Champion-level forms. Ultimate and Mega forms shall appear in the forthcoming chapters!

The personalities/mannerisms of Team Bantyo should be easy to identify if you've watched Kill la Kill.

Ken Ichijouji's Ascendant form, Zordiark X, that has yet to make his proper debut.

Ok, that's about it. If anything else, this chapter was to show action scenes from the secondary and tertiary cast. Next chapter, most of the fodder shall be dealt with leaving just the Three Fiends and the strongest mooks (one of whom appears next chapter; again alluding to Project-BebiMephisto; and btw, SIN is the one and the same FFX final boss that's being unleashed in another realm).

Until next time, send a review!
