Chapter XXIV: A Desperate Situation!

Dimension: DF-616/Earth/Outskirts of Yumenoshima, Tokyo, Japan (ゆめのしま, ときょ, じゃぱん)/12:25 PM
Not withdrawing his eyes off Angemon X, Burizalor gritted and growled intensely. The Warlord and Cyrus noticed the tyrant's distress.
"Lord Burizalor?" Sorbetmon was confused by his master's reaction to Angemon X.
"I see. This is the one that slew you, my liege," Cyrus reminded him.
"Did you need to tell him that?" The Warlord scoffed. He pivoted to opposite of Angemon X to see Red and Pikachu. "Well, they've managed to bring other dimension allies of their own. No doubt looking for those Pokemon we captured." His eyes shot open as he sighted Dramon X. His face contorted in shock. "Still can't believe he's here!"
Cyrus blinked as he, too, noticed Dramon X. "Shit! Not that guy again!"
"I can't believe Burizalor's back!" Sedna exclaimed.
Angemon X's features conveyed distress. "Yeah and his power's a lot higher than it was when I killed him."
"So, that's him?" Dramon X noticed Burizalor. Then, he saw Cyrus and the Warlord. "Oh, well look who's here?"
"Don't even look at us!" Growled the Warlord.
"So, you're the son of Mutalior," Dramon X acknowledged Burizalor, quickly ignoring Cyrus and the Warlord. "Can't say I'm impressed."
"I could say for you," Burizalor meticulously eyed Dramon X. "You must be that so-called unorthodox Ascendant my two colleagues warned me about."
Then, before Dramon X could retort.
"Master, be careful! This man is also the infamous crotch buster!" Cyrus warned the tyrant.
All sweatdropped at Cyrus's outburst.
"Sad thing is, he's not wrong," Pikkan noted.
"You have that right," BanchoLeomon concurred.
"Hey, shut up Ace! Or, do you want me to put you and Gary down for keeps?!" Dramon X threatened Cyrus, and by extension the Warlord while calling them by his preferred names for them.
"You did not just go there!" The Warlord snapped with his face showing anger. "I'm gonna fuck you up so hard for calling me that!"
"No homo," Dramon X retorted, eliciting more anger from the villain.
"Burn!" Tike, Kara, and David chimed together.
"Nice one, hun," Orcus approved of Dramon X's verbal deconstruction of the two Fiends.
"Enough!" Burizalor hissed as he levitated off his hover chair. He painstakingly eyed Angemon X, Dramon X, Sedna, Orcus, and Red. "So glad you could join us, but lo and behold to my surprise the boy who killed me shows up."
"Never thought you'd return, but as you can see I didn't come alone!" Angemon X declared, brandishing his sword.
"And count on us to back you up, bro!" Keke called out.
Max added. "You got that right!" He turned and pointed to the Warlord. "Isn't that right, Ace?!"
"I'LL KILL YOU!" Hissed the Warlord, who quickly drew charged up a Ki blast and lobbed it at Max's direction.
Max quickly backhanded the blast and rushed his nemesis. The Warlord drew out his sword and and slashed at Max.
In response, Max instinctively grabbed the Warlord's sword with both hands and snapped it in two. The Warlord readily discharged a blast. Max evaded the incoming beam.
"Hold still!" Scowled the Warlord, throwing more dark blasts at Max.
Max quickly intercepted the blasts and sent them flying into the air. As the Warlord prepared to throw another blast, Cyrus stopped him.
"Enough, Warlord! We need to conserve our powers for now!"
"Screw that noise!" The Warlord growled, setting his sights on Angemon X. "Hey, Burizalor! Why don't I save you the trouble and take this one for you?!" He readily prepared to unleash a dark blast on Angemon X.
"Dimitri!" Keke called out as she, Max, Sedna, and WarAngemon prepared to intercept the Warlord's attack.
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST – A Tough Battle)
Before anyone could move, the Warlord and Cyrus both felt rippling pains on their right shoulders. A small dragon head-like tattoo appeared on them.
"What the fuc..." Both cursed as images of Kensuke forcibly branding tattoos on them flashed before their eyes.
The Warlord shot an angry glare toward Dramon X, chastising him. "You did this! Take these off!"
Attempting to charge forward only made things worse. They both fell to their knees all of a sudden.
"What's going on?" Burizalor, just as puzzled as most of the spectators, queried the two. "Did RedNovaDemon's power get too big for your britches?!" As he questioned, both pointed at Dramon X.
"He put these on us...! Somehow even though I don't recall being near him, the last time we saw him was when that big bitch was wrecking his world up!" The Warlord snapped.
Dramon X took a good look at the tattoos. "Hey sis, didn't that stupid Egyptian creep have one of those? Except his was on his head?"
Sedna nodded. "Yes, but he confessed before he fell that you were not the one who put it on him." She said before thinking. But who did, those tattoos are identical!
"They're obviously lying! Get these things off of us!" Cyrus growled angrily.
Dramon X sighed in response. "You're obviously faking pain then, Ace and Gary! I never touched either of you, and I never will since I want to remain straight."
"Um, you didn't need to say that so bluntly," Orcus muttered.
"Yeah, I mean? Where did you get Ace and Gary from?" Angemon X was befuddled like some of the rest.
"I'll tell y'all about it later..." Before Dramon X could finish, he was interrupted by the colorful outburst from the Warlord.
"Fuck this shit!" The Digital Warlord bellowed madly, fighting through the pain. Moving quicker than the others can see, he quickly nabbed Orcus and raised his sword to her throat.
"CHRISTINA!" Sedna screamed in shock.
"LET HER GO, WARLORD!" Angemon X shouted.
"She's not your opponent, asshole! Let her go now!" Max demanded.
The Warlord yelled out defiantly. "Remove it or she dies!"
Before anyone could retort, Max spat out. "Take it off him, Ken."
Dramon X turned to Max in confusion. "Max, you can't be serious! Out of everyone this man has hurt, I know you seek to end him the most, but you want to remove a handicap that would efficiently make the job easier?"
Max nodded his head, looking determined. "Ken, look you fight your way, I'll fight mine. We agreed long ago that you would let me kill him. If I take him down with a handicap, it wouldn't prove anything. And I don't want to put Orcus' life in danger."
The Digital Warlord could just grin maniacally over Max's words. "He's got a point, my nemesis. You could easily take me in the state I'm in easily, but I won't go down alone." He floated up carrying Orcus along.
"ORCUS!" Sedna, Angemon X, and Dramon X shouted together.
Orcus tried her hardest not to move or scream. She felt the cold blade pressed against her throat. Sedna and Angemon X prepared to make their move, but Dramon X wasted no time flying up to the Digital Warlord.
Burizalor's forces prepared to intercept and attack him until for a brief moment Dramon X's eyes turned white. His pure white eyes seemingly scared them all, and even put Burizalor in notice. The tyrant blinked in shock when he heard Dramon X get in his head.
If you wish to battle me Burizalor, feel free to come forward, but I can guarantee you that revenge will be the last thing you achieve! Dramon X's burned into the digital tyrant's mind.
As he snapped back to reality, Burizalor blinked thrice and watched Dramon X float over to the Warlord. He couldn't believe who he was seeing and the unorthodox method he used to put him in his place.
Who is this warrior? He's nothing like the others!
Dramon X slapped his hand on the Digital Warlord's shoulder, which glowed with life. The tattoo was quickly removed. With that deed done, the Warlord released Orcus, who descended next to Sedna and Angemon X.
However, the Warlord felt something not right. "What did...? Wait a second. SIN HARVEST!" The attempted move doesn't work. "What the?!" He gaped in shock.
"Took it in exchange for removing the tattoo, and for the record..."
(End theme)
Wham!
Dramon X swiftly booted the Warlord in the balls so hard he went flying into the air like a rocket. "That was for threatening my girlfriend and if Max does not kill you this battle, I will!"
Nearly everyone is nervous by this unorthodox action.
On second thought, I'll bare the pain. Cyrus thought nervously.
"You tell him, Ken!" Orcus hollered out, cheering Dramon X on. "Oh, and serves you right for kidnapping me, asshole! Hope your balls ache for all time after that one!"
Red shuddered as he rubbed his crotch. "Honestly wouldn't wish that on anyone... but there's always exceptions."
Dramon X quickly turned and advised Max. "Go after him and finish him. If he ain't buried in the ground or blown to dust by the end of this war, I'm going to do what I should've done the first time we met, I'm going to tear his heart out, douse it in every condiment I can think of, and eat it." He vowed in graphic detail.
"You're joki..." Max just stopped, realizing who he was addressing. "Oh wait, I forget it's you. Why question you, right?"
"You wanted to show him mercy. You better take him down your way. It's only fitting that scumbag who threatened a loved one of mine dies in a painfully excruciating manner. No matter how honorable it shall be!" Darkly hissed Dramon X.
Furrowing his brows, Max replied logically. "Fine, then I'll kill him my way."
"Right, let's get right down to business!" Angemon X quickly turned his view to Burizalor. "You said you have some sick experiments to sic on us? Why don't you show rather than tell, you monster?"
Putting up a calm front, Burizalor chortled. "Why yes, I was going to show you one of my new toys." He shifted his eyes over to Sorbetmon. "Release Project-BebiMephisto now."
"As you command," Sorbetmon complied as he pressed a button, which opened the roof of the spaceship.
Cyrus shook his head dismissively. "Are you sure you want this? I wouldn't wish this on you all, but it's your funeral."
"Whatever he's got, get ready!" Sedna shouted as she and Orcus took out their Valkyrie Daggers. "Orcus?"
"Let's do this!" Orcus added.
With that, Sailor Sedna and Orcus used their Valkyrie Daggers to transform into Dai-Valkyrie Sedna and Orcus. Angemon X jumped in to join the two Dai-Valkyrie Kuipers. Dramon X hastily descended where the Kuipers and Angemon X stood. Holding a few Pokeballs, Red and Pikachu prepared for their gravest challenge to date. Max beckoned the D3s and WarAngemon over. Kari stood up and invoked the power of her Crest of Light.
"Ophanimon, looks like they're going to need us," Kari said as Ophanimon regressed back to Gatomon.
"Let's get to it, Kari!" Gatomon responded to her partner's wishes and grasped Kari's hand.
The two became engulfed in a pink column of light, which turned gold. From this golden flash of light, Kari and Gatomon became Celesta X.
Burizalor slowly rose and dismounted from his chair. He let out calm chortle.
"Perhaps now is any time like any to soil my hands of you filth," Burizalor declared, attentively scanning his opposition like a picky predator. "We'll see which of you I get to pick off first."
Meanwhile, the Warlord slowly rose still rubbing his crotch.
"And don't forget to save me some..." He coughed. "I owe that crotch-kicking asshole one in spades."
(Cue Dragon Ball Z OST – Nemesis by The Enigma TNG)
As the spaceship's roof opened up, a shadowed figure floated out covered with wires and drenched with slimy liquid. It had been released from a containment. Inhaling the fresh air from its surroundings, Project-BebiMephisto was revealed to all.
"What the hell is that?!" Sam exclaimed as he pointed his friends and allies toward the aforementioned Project-BebiMephisto floating out of the ship.
"That thing strikes a resemblance to the Bebimon creature Tai and the others eradicated recently!" Max gasped at the sight of this creature.
"But, how did they get a hold of Bebimon? I thought Tai wiped out every trace of that thing!" Keke exclaimed.
"I think we can guess these three somehow collected a sample from it before Tai finished it," WarAngemon said, veering toward the Three Fiends.
"How astute, Takeru," Burizalor chortled as Project-BebiMephisto floated over next to him. "Yes, during your battle with this Bebimon creature, my esteemed colleagues and I sent spy drones, roughly the size of fleas, to collect sample from Bebimon. We needed a catalyst to combine with another to create the ultimate warrior to help us defeat you all. So, we took a piece of the Bebimon parasite and combined it with the remnants of my creator Apocalymon, whose data was slowly reconfiguring itself in the Digiverse."
"A combination of Bebimon and Apocalymon?!" Mystic Celesta gasped upon hearing this.
"You'd go that far just to destroy us?!" Angemon X exclaimed.
"Not only would we go that far, but we took a gamble that paid off," Cyrus smirked evilly. "Isn't that right, master?"
"Indeed! Behold our instrument of destruction: BebiMephistomon!" The tyrant introduced their latest experiment.
BebiMephistomon tore off the sheet covering him, revealing himself to all. He resembled Janemba with Mephistomon and Bebi's features. He had the ghoulish blue eyes, yellow shoulder guards, and the red/yellow gloves. The fiendish creature let out a devilish laugh and gazed over his would be prey. He poked out a spike on his right gloved hand and pulled on it, tearing out the spike. He then converted the spike into a long red sword.
"But, that's not all!" Cyrus clapped his hands.
Emerging from the spaceship was an army of Pokemon, which baffled Red and Pikachu. These were in fact the Pokemon that had gone missing in their world. The missing Pokemon ended up being Darkrai, Shadow Lugia, Gyarados, Tyranitar, Hydreigon, Gengar, and Bisharp.
"Red! Looks like we found those missing Pokemon!" Sedna called to the Pokemon trainer.
"Yeah, and judging by their eyes, they're under their control!" Red saw the lifeless gazes on the Pokemon's faces.
BebiMephistomon beckoned the brainwashed Pokemon to him.
"Red, I promise we'll free those Pokemon!" Dramon X vowed, gritting his teeth in anger over this development.
The Three Fiends were pleased with their latest their latest acquisitions.
"Now, let's see how you can handle these," Burizalor grinned fiendishly. "Tagomamon, Shisamimon, take the others down! Sorbetmon, has Project-SIN been released?"
"Yes, sir."
"Perfect."
(End theme)
As the Three Fiends and BebiMephistomon made their attack on the warriors, BanchoLeomon recovered long enough to go another round with Shisamimon. Shisamimon head rushed BanchoLeomon.

Odaiba, Tokyo, Japan (お台場、東京、日本)/12:35 PM
Ultima X, Zordiark X, and Sonja blasted away at Xenomorphs. One Xenomorph attempted an ambush on Sonja, but the female cyborg forged an energy disc and threw it without looking back, splitting the Xenomorph in two. Zordiark X forged an energy spear and hacked apart a Xenomorph.
"Way to go, guys! That clears this side!" Ultima X grinned, giving a thumbs up.
"Um, guys! We've got big... and like I mean literal big problems!" Yolei blanched, backing away as she pointed in the distance.
(Cue Digimon: X-Evolution OST – DORUGAMON no kanashii shinka ~DORUGREYMON)
The group turned to where Yolei pointed and watched a DexDorugoramon rampaging through the city. The behemoth let out a deep bellow, causing the vicinity of civilians to flee in terror of its presence.
"Man, they just keep getting bigger, don't they?!" Ultima X gulped at the sight of DexDorugoramon.
Sonja scanned the purple-skinned, red-winged behemoth. "There's a core inside it we can target, but we've got to be careful how we approach it. There's a viral source protecting it."
"So, we could surround ourselves with an aura. That could protect us from this viral source," Zordiark X suggested.
"Better hurry and take action, guys! We don't want this thing to trash our city anymore than its already going to be!" Yolei exclaimed.
"Right, let's do this!" Ultima X declared.
As Ultima X, Zordiark X, and Sonja took off to fight DexDorugoramon, the behemoth was more than ready to defend itself. It opened its wings and unleashed a barrage of purple blasts at their direction. The trio avoided the blast barrage. DexDorugoramon flew into the air and lobbed a purple ball at Ultima X. Ultima X prepared to catch it, but Sonja intercepted the attack and put up a force field around them.
However, the attack shattered Sonja's defenses and knocked them both back.
"Davis! Sonja!" Zordiark X yelled out to them. He turned and a silver orb revealed on its chest. Some skin started to fold over and cover the orb, protecting its from harm.
There's the source of its power! That's where we should be aiming! Zordiark X figured it out.
As Sonja and Ultima X were about to crash into a building, someone swooped in and caught them both. They looked up.
To their shock, they saw a face that they hadn't seen in years. Their savior was a dark-haired young man with a slight resemblance to Sonja, but he wore a green and white shirt complete with dark gloves, blue jeans, and black shoes.
"Been a while, hasn't it, sis? And Davis, the fact you're still alive means you've been treating her well."
"Jax?!" Both Ultima X and Sonja yelled out in surprise.
Jax looked down at them with a composed smirk.
"C'mon, you're gonna let this big bastard throw you around like that?" Jax scoffed, watching DexDorugoramon. "Then again, this big guy's power is stronger than ours combined." He pulled up his sleeves ready for combat.
"Jax, it has been a while, bro," Sonja smiled to him. "But, where the hell have you been?"
"Well, I was taking my girlfriend here to revisit family and shop around in town. Then, some bad guys show up to ruin my day off. Oh, by the way my job is hanging out and protecting animals."
"Oook? So, you've become your own Doctor Dolittle?" Ultima X asked. "Wait…!"
Ultima X and Sonja shouted together. "You got a girlfriend?!"
"Yep, but I asked a few government people to protect her and her Digimon partner. Though, I trust her Digimon can protect her while I'm gone."
"And pray tell who is this girlfriend, bro?" Sonja scoffed.
"Does the name Meiko Mochizuki ring any bells?" Jax asked them both.
"That name sounds familiar," Sonja blinked.
"Wait, she went to the same school as Tai, Sora, and the others!" Ultima X exclaimed. "I didn't really know her, but I saw her hang with Sora and Mimi a few times. How did you two meet?"
"Shortly after Meiko graduated she left with her family to live in the countryside. I saved her and her Digimon from an animal attack. We both hit off afterwards. Then, she moved in with me and helps me with my line of work. She's a great companion," Jax answered.
"So, are you like some Doctor Dolittle? Like can you talk to animals like BW can?" Ultima X asked him.
"Nah, just help preserve endangered species," Jax replied nonchalantly. "And I can't talk to animals like BW can, but they like and understand me well enough."
Sonja smiled genuinely. "It's good to see you again, bro."
(End theme)
"Oh, good! Looks like y'all found each other!" Came a familiar voice belonging to a certain iron-suited billionaire playboy.
Iron Man dropped in where Ultima X, Jax, and Sonja were.
"Wait, so you were able to find my brother?" Sonja asked him.
"He wasn't hard to find after scanning and copying the program in your cybernetic enhancements. Remember that upgrade I graciously helped with?" Iron Man reminded her.
Sonja furrowed her brows. "Like it was yesterday and don't think I'll forget that."
"You talked about your brother so much that being the good humanitarian I am I used your data to trace your brother and voila here he is."
"Tony made a deal. I came to help you guys while one of his automated armors protected the animals on the preserve I protect."
"That's great," Ultima X said.
Sonja sighed. "But, look no offense Tony, I don't think you'll be able to beat that thing." She pointed to DexDorugoramon.
"Hey! A little help here would be nice!" Zordiark X called out while dodging DexDorugoramon's claw strikes.
"Hang on, Ken! We're coming!" Ultima X called out to his friend. "All right, let's jet guys!"
"Let's jet?" Jax chuckled. "Sis, just what do you see in this guy?"
"He's stupid cute when he says it," Sonja smirked.
"Um, yeah, just how hard can taking down a big ugly monster be?" A hint of anxiety was heard in Iron Man's voice. "Shouldn't be too bad."
"After you, Tony," Sonja backed off, booting Iron Man in the back and sending him flying straight into mid-air flight.
"Hey! I just gave this suit a paint job!"
"That's for copying my data without my permission, jerk!"
(Cue Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' OST – Completely Outnumbered)
Jax turned to Sonja and nodded. "Ready to do some major damage, sis?"
"Like old times, except now we kick the bad guys around."

Outskirts of Yumenoshima, Tokyo, Japan (ゆめのしま, ときょ, じゃぱん)/12:45 PM
"This time I'll kill you for sure, Leomon!" Shisamimon bellowed, preparing to run his horns through the Bancho warrior.
"Correction, it's BanchoLeomon now!" He retorted.
Pfft, same difference! Ogremon's voice scoffed inside BanchoLeomon's head. Hey, better catch the bull by the horns!
"Already on it!" BanchoLeomon smirked as he grabbed Shisamimon's horns and used his leverage to push the red-skinned behemoth back.
"Think you can out muscle me, feline?!"
"Hah, then you underestimate me!" BanchoLeomon roared, gripping Shisamimon's horns hard. He then lifted Shisamimon off the ground and tossed him into the air. He sprang up and clobbered Shisamimon with body blows.
Crossing his arms, Shisamimon did his best to defend himself from BanchoLeomon's heavy blows. BanchoLeomon charged Ki through his right fist and uppercutted Shisamimon's jaw hard. He sent Shisamimon flying up and crashing to the ground where Pikkan, BW, and Sheila launched their attacks on him.
"Fools, I'm part of Lord Burizalor's elite!" Shisamimon boasted. "I won't defeated this easily!"
"Well, hate to break it to ya, but..." Sheila lifted her fingers, revealing thin threads curled around her fingertips. "...you've fallen for my trap, big guy."
"Eh?" Shisamimon looked down and noticed threads tying his entire body up. "How did you...?!" Before he could finish, Sheila activated her threads' paralysis effects, which grabbed the hugely muscled alien.
"Since you started yapping to my kitty cat about how you're going kill him, but I've got bad news for you," Sheila smirked deviously, twirling with the threads in her fingers. "Even the biggest prey falls for the smallest traps!"
As Sheila successfully bound Shisamimon, Pikkan and BW attacked him. Pikkan unleashed Thunder Flash Attack in conjunction with BW's Terra Destroyer. Both attacks coalesced into a massive sphere of destructive power and obliterated Shisamimon.
Meanwhile, Tagomamon engaged the other D3s. He and Sam traded fisticuffs briefly. Tagomamon got the upper hand and punched Sam back.
"Who do you take me for?! I underwent grueling training with Lord Burizalor! I survived his grueling blows every single day prior to now! I'm tough enough to take all you golden-haired goons on!" Tagomamon boasted, laughing out loud.
"You shouldn't take us lightly no matter what!" Keke shouted.
With that, Keke rushed Tagomamon and went for a flying kick, which the alien countered with an arm lift.
"Pfft, is that all?! I've got the body of steel! You ain't got nothing on me!" He grabbed Keke's leg and tossed her to the side. "I can take you Ascendant weaklings blindfolded!"
"Oh yeah? Careful what ya wish for, jackass!" Kara chimed in.
As Tagomamon whirled around, Kara blinded him with Solar Flare.
"Ugh! Can't see!" Tagomamon wailed, rubbing his eyes. "That was a cheap trick!"
"I'd call it fair play! Now guys!" Kara called out to Tike and David.
(End theme)
"Fusion-Ha!"
Upon completing their Meta-Fusion technique, Tike and David became Daike. The brash Ascendant half-pint rushed toward Tagomamon.
(Cue Dragon Ball Kai (Buu) OST – Fusion Complete)
"Tada! Super Daike makes his most electrifying entrance yet!" Daike shouted, quickly consumed in a golden sheen of light. "Take this!"
Ding!
Everyone guy watching cringed at Daike headbutting right in the groin. Tagomamon's eyes shot wide open as he fell to the ground rolling and whining in agony.
He headbutted me in the dick! Why...? Why did he headbutt me in the dick?! A blue-faced Tagomamon thought, rolling around in pain.
"Sheesh, did they really need to do that?!" Angemon X cringed at Super Daike's painful albeit effective technique.
"Hahah! Great form, guys!" Kara cheered them.
"Yeah, easy for you to say since you ain't got balls, Kara," Sam shuddered, holding his groin.
Dramon X could only smirk watching. "Looks like my unorthodox methods are rubbing off on them."
"Even an indecent attack isn't without its usefulness," Max stated straight-faced.
"Hah, works like a charm!" Daike gloated.
Suddenly, Jacomon's ship descended as Mimi and Palmon were seen waving to everyone.
"Guys! We've made it!" Mimi called out to the others.
"MOM?!" Both Angemon X and Keke were flabbergasted to see the Bearer of Sincerity arrive in the middle of a war zone no less.
"Mimi, it's not safe here!" Sedna pleaded to her.
"It's ok! I have Palmon, Jacomon, and a friend of Jacomon's!" Mimi pointed to the aforementioned company.
Upon seeing Ryo (DF-616), Sailor Sedna was taken by surprise.
"Ryo?" The Kuiper leader blinked thrice as she gawked at Ryo. "Wait, that's not the Ryo I know. This one doesn't have a Monodramon. I understand this is dimension DF-616's Ryo Akiyama."
"Miss Mimi, is this wise?" Jacomon gulped as he noticed Burizalor and his forces fighting Earth's defenders. "I mean, look!" He pointed to the digital tyrant. "Do you not realize who that is?!"
"Yeah, we know," Mimi nodded, looking down at Palmon. "You ready to join the fight?"
"About time I get some time to flex my vines!" Palmon shouted.
(End theme)
As Mimi took out her Digivice, Palmon Mega Evolved into Rosemon. Rosemon hastily took to the air and helped Mothramon neutralize some Shadow Creepers.
"Don't worry, Dimitri and Keke! We're here to save the day!" Mimi announced her arrival to all. "Hey, Jacomon, why don't you and your friend get out of that spaceship to help my friends fight these jerks?"
"Sure, we'd..." Before Ryo (DF-616) could finish, Jacomon objected.
"Negative. All me and my friend agreed on was giving you and Palmon a lift."
"Aww, c'mon! You're a Galactic Patrolman, aren't you?! There are freakin' aliens attacking the planet! I mean, look!" The Bearer of Sincerity pointed to the Buriza Force troops, Daleks, and Xenomorphs. "I think this counts as an alien invasion! That's part of your job description!"
"Grr! Fine, we'll help!" Jacomon stood up, gritting. He motioned Ryo (DF-616) to get up. "We'll take on some of Burizalor's soldiers, preferably the weaker ones!"
"Yeah, maybe we can handle those things," Ryo (DF-616) noted the Xenomorphs. "Just need to avoid their acid blood."
"So, who's Mr. Spaceman?" Wondered Angemon X.
"That's Jacomon," Max answered. "And before you ask, yes that's Ryo Akiyama of this dimension. Apparently, he and Jacomon have been partners and a part of the Digiverse's Galactic Council."
"Interesting."
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST – Here's Jaco!)
As Jacomon and Ryo (DF-616) joined in, they whipped out their laser pistols and fired at some Xenomorphs. A laser shot and split a Xenomorphs in two. Jacomon hopped over two Xenomorphs and shot them both in the back of their elongated heads.
Sailor Sedna quickly brandished her Ice Trident and summoned her Sedna Arctic Breeze, which froze a few Buriza Force troops and Xenomorphs in ice.
"Now, Orcus!" Sedna instructed Sailor Orcus, who gathered a ball of darkness and blasted the frozen enemies away.
"Yeah! That's twenty points!" Orcus chalked up her own score. "Maybe if I'm lucky I can take down one of three main baddies?"
"Well, let's not get carried away, Orcus," Sedna advised her. "C'mon, let's clear away more of these mooks!" She paused to see Red and Pikachu actively trying to fight the brainwashed Pokemon. "Red! Use your other Pokemon!"
"I've been trying to! Mind giving me a hand here?" Red asked the Kuiper duo.
Pikachu unleashed thunderous blasts at the brainwashed Pokemon, who kept playing keep away from the electric rodent.
"C'mon, Sedna! Our boy, Red, needs our help!" Orcus grabbed Sedna's hand as they hurried over to Red's rescue.
"Hang on, Red!" The Ice Senshi slammed her Ice Trident down, forging an ice bridge for her and Orcus to slide across.
As Sedna and Orcus reached Red, they helped by warding off the brainwashed Pokemon. Orcus put up a dark barrier, protecting Red and Pikachu. Sedna swung her Ice Trident and fired ice blasts to keep the brainwashed Pokemon at bay.
(End theme)
"Ok, Red! Summon your other Pokemon!" Sedna called out while distracting the brainwashed Pokemon.
"Right!" Red took out his other Pokeballs. "Ok, guys! It's hero time!"
(Cue Pokemon Origins OST – Battle! Trainer Music)
Out from these Pokeballs came Red's other Pokemon: Charizard, Venusaur, Blastoise, Lucario, and Ho-oh. Mewtwo materialized next to Red.
"Whoa, he's got a Mewtwo?!" Orcus gawked at the artificial Psychic Pokemon.
"But, of course, here's another reason why Red's better than Ash," Sedna smiled, scanning Red's Pokemon.
"True that," Orcus openly concurred.
Red held his ground with his Pokemon amassed. "Ok, guys! Those are the captured Pokemon! We need to neutralize and undo the mind control the bad guys did to them!"
"Pika!" Pikachu agreed.
"I can take care of the mind control problem." Mewtwo added until Lucario chimed in. "Oh, pardon, we'll take care of it."
The brainwashed Pokemon hissed and growled with feral auras surrounding them. Lucario probed their negative auras and assessed the amount of evil power they were incorporated with.
"Do what you must," Sedna stated as she and Orcus turned back toward the other battles going on.
"Oh wow, now we've got Pokemon here?" Mimi blinked in astonishment. "Well, who've thought?"
"We brought them here," Sedna answered Mimi. "Yeah, I know Digimon and Pokemon in the same place. Who would've thought that would be possible?" She winked.
(End theme)
Taking notice of Mimi, the Warlord chuckled in amusement.
"Well, well, Mimi Tachikawa definitely has more guts than brains. I'll give the woman her due. She ain't the scared little wall flower she used to be."
(Cue One Punch Man OST - Kowa)
Burizalor cast his eyes on Jacomon and studied his outfit. "I see. Judging by the symbol on that fellow's chest, he must be from the Galactic Council." Before he could bemuse the situation further, he turned his sights on Angemon X. "No time to be dwelling on the Galactic Council officer, there's the matter of carrying out my revenge!" He raised a finger and fired a Death Beam, which headed straight for Angemon X.
"Look out!" Dramon X called out, pushing Angemon X aside and backhanding the beam aside.
Angemon X readily drew out his sword and rushed Burizalor. He brought down the sword over Burizalor, attempting to repeat history, but not today. Burizalor caught the sword with one hand and landed a punch into Angemon X's gut. Taking the blow to the gut, Angemon X coughed hard and sank to one knee.
"Dimitri!" Sedna and Keke cried out together.
"No!" Dramon X rushed over to grab Angemon X, but BebiMephistomon materialized right in front of him.
"Hehehe!" BebiMephistomon snickered, swinging his sword down and sending a projectile that seemingly cut through time and space.
Try as he might, Dramon X dodged the attack, but the sword's projectile cut through his right shoulder. Dramon X grunted hard and fell back, grasping his wounded shoulder.
"Ah, the unorthodox one wants to have a go with me? Sorry, but you'll have to wait your turn! Fortunately, thanks to my two colleagues, I was warned you'd try to pull a trick up your sleeve, so we played our trump card," Burizalor openly stated, beckoning BebiMephistomon. "BebiMephistomon, take care of the unorthodox Ascendant while I deal with this one!"
BebiMephistomon raised and pointed his sword to Dramon X.
"Oh, you want some of me?!" Dramon X snarled furiously. He cautiously looked over past the monster as Burizalor advanced on Angemon X. "C'mon, get up, Dimitri!"
"Sorry for the interruptions. Where was I? Oh yes, my revenge begins with your death," Burizalor stood over Angemon X. "Any last words before I snuff you out of existence?"
Lifting his head, Angemon X defiantly glared him down. "Yeah, heads up!"
(End theme)
"What?!" As Burizalor spun around, Super Daike dove right into him along with WarAngemon and Mystic Celesta.
"Did you forget us?! Keep running your big mouth and this happens! Big mistake!" Daike taunted Burizalor. He balled up his fist and punched Burizalor so hard he pushed him back.
"Insects!" Burizalor hissed at the Ascendant intervention.
(Cue Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' OST – Piccolo Struggles)
Meanwhile, Sedna and Orcus carried Angemon X off from the battle. The Kuiper duo called Pikkan over to give them a Digi-Vitamin.
"Persistence primates!" Screamed Burizalor, unleashing an aura that pushed Super Daike back some.
WarAngemon hastily rushed Burizalor and engaged him in fisticuffs. Before Mystic Celesta could intervene, Cyrus stood in her way.
"Going somewhere, Hikari Kamiya?" Cyrus headed off Mystic Celesta and lobbed a volley of Ki blasts at her.
Mystic Celesta instinctively batted away Cyrus' blasts.
"You want to fight my master? You'll have to go through me first!"
Mystic Celesta swiftly landed a kick that sent Cyrus flying several yards back. Cyrus landed on all fours and smirked with blood trickling down his lip.
While actively fighting WarAngemon and Daike, Burizalor observed Mystic Celesta closely.
Ah yes, that mysterious power resonating in Taichi's sister. I distinctly remember her drawing out Homeostasis' power back on Planet Spira! Homeostasis, this certainly isn't the first and won't be the last we'll encounter each other! Burizalor quickly snapped back to reality as Daike powered up to Level 3 status.
"Super Daike 3's ready to serve you your ass!" Daike announced, flying up toward Burizalor steadfast.
From an opposite side, WarAngemon charged up energy in his right hand and prepared off his Seraphi Fist.
"Sorry, TK, but this one's on us!" Super Daike tossed a volley of blasts at Burizalor.
Batting away the incoming volley, a fiery red cloak that resembled RedNovaDemon formed over Burizalor. The demon's aura absorbed the blasts. The befuddled Ascendant was taken aback by the tyrant's seemingly impenetrable aura. With a flick of his finger, Burizalor fired a beam that shot through the aura and blasted Daike's shoulder.
"Ow! That freakin' stung!" Daike hissed, rubbing his shoulder. "Oh, now you've done it, you prick!" He charged up and formed golden energy balls in his hands. "Eat this!"
"Bring it, you simpleton," Burizalor goaded the Meta-Fused Ascendant.
As Daike fired off his dual blasts, Burizalor's red aura absorbed the blasts. Burizalor quickly rushed Daike and booted the child Ascendant into the air. Super Daike somersaulted backward and grabbed his throbbing side.
"Shit, how the hell are you able to hurt me?!" Snapped Daike, who tried to attack but Burizalor materialized in front of the boy and raised a finger to his face. He sweatdropped nervously. "Oh crap..."
"Hang on!" WarAngemon shouted and jetted toward Burizalor. As he intercepted the tyrant from offing Daike, he pushed the Meta-Fused Ascendant aside and went for a right cross.
(End theme)
Burizalor vanished right out of WarAngemon's reach. Then, he rematerialized right in front of WarAngemon and gut punched him. The Bearer of Hope felt the wind knocked out of him and fell in one blow.
"TK!" Mystic Celesta shouted.
"No, TK!" Daike exclaimed.
"Uncle TK!" Angemon X called out, having recovered from eating a Digi-Vitamin. He quickly nabbed one from Pikkan's bag.
(Cue One Punch Man OST - Crisis)
Upon seeing WarAngemon knocked right out, Mystic Celesta, Daike, and Angemon X headed off to save WarAngemon. Cyrus quickly grabbed Mystic Celesta's arm, but the Bearer of Light kicked his hand away. While Angemon X tended to WarAngemon, Daike flew at Burizalor and landed a succession of strikes on the tyrant.
"TK! Stay with us!" Oh no! I feel his life force fading! I'm not letting you die again, uncle TK! Feeling little to no pulse from WarAngemon, Angemon X stuffed the Digi-Vitamin into his mouth.
"Move, Dimitri!" BanchoLeomon barked, placing his hand against WarAngemon's chest. He concentrated and gave him a jolt of Ki energy that revived WarAngemon from near death. "There! TK, can you hear us?!"
"Ugh...!" WarAngemon grunted, grasping his chest.
Angemon X wasted no time stuffing the Digi-Vitamin into WarAngemon's mouth. He forced WarAngemon to bite down and swallow. Having swallowed the medicine, WarAngemon's eyes shot open. He saw Angemon X and BanchoLeomon standing guard over him.
"Dimitri? BanchoLeomon?" WarAngemon gasped while catching his breath. He pivoted over where Daike and Mystic Celesta were fighting Burizalor and Cyrus. "Guys, be... be careful! They have some strange red aura protecting them!"
"What's the source behind this red aura? Some new powers they acquired?" Angemon X was bemused over the latest developments.
"Whatever the source of this power is, it's augmented their natural powers!" BanchoLeomon assessed the Three Fiends' new powers.
As Daike jetted across, he charged up an energy beam only for Burizalor's RedNovaDemon aura to split his fusion in two. Tike and David hit the ground simultaneously.
"Tike! David!" WarAngemon and Mystic Celesta called out to the boys.
Kara and Sam hastily flew over to grab the Ascendant boys, but Burizalor fired a beam toward their direction. Tike grabbed a hold of his three friends and used Instant Movement, relocating himself and his friends from Burizalor's destructive blast.
"Whew, cutting it close, Tike!" Max shouted as he and Warlord resumed their fisticuffs brawl. He caught the Warlord's fist and fired back with concussive blasts that sent the Warlord crashing through a few rock faces.
"Max! Looks like our Digimon cleared the sky and all of those soldiers have been taken out!" Keke called to his attention.
Looking over his shoulder, Max saw Jacomon shooting some Buriza Force troops in their kneecaps. The soldiers all fell and clutched their soldiers.
"Oh yeah!" Jacomon jumped up and did a victory dance.
"Well, almost all of them," Max muttered, turning around as the Warlord rose from his spot. He noticed a similar red aura forming around the villain.
"Foolish Max, did you think that'd be enough to put me down?!" The Warlord methodically walked forward while RedNovaDemon's cloak bathed over him.
Mystic Celesta kicked Cyrus back only for Burizalor's right hand man to imbue himself in a red aura.
'Bearer of Light, I'd advise being mindful. The power emanating from these three belong to a malevolent being. It's starting to become clear how they've been able to grow much stronger in a short time span.' Homeostasis telepathically bonded with Mystic Celesta.
"Everyone, these three might've received a power from something! The light's telling me this would explain their sudden abnormal power increase," Mystic Celesta meticulously eyed the Three Fiends.
Burizalor chortled while the red aura over him faded. "How astute of you to notice, Hikari. Yes, you've acquired knowledge from Homeostasis, the divine power currently inhabiting you. I didn't acknowledge you back on Planet Spira, because I didn't want to believe you'd find ways to acquire a host after I destroyed your original body. I should've in hindsight when I saw your light then."
Creasing her eyebrows, Mystic Celesta conveyed disdain toward the tyrant. She dropped into a fighting stance and rushed at Burizalor. Burizalor put up his right hand and prepared to fire her with a Death Beam. Mystic Celesta vanished right out of Burizalor's sight. Before he had a chance to counter, Mystic Celesta swooped down on Burizalor's right side and nailed him with a palm strike to his right side. Burizalor's face contorted from Mystic Celesta's blow, causing him to turn and whip his tail around. Mystic Celesta tucked her head, evading getting strangled by the creature's tail. She grabbed Burizalor's tail and tossed him around, throwing him toward the Warlord and Cyrus.
Mystic Celesta cupped her hands and fired off a Holy Beam.
"Lord Burizalor!" Tagomamon shouted as he rushed at Mystic Celesta.
Catching the alien warrior heading her way, she turned her attack and obliterated Tagomamon.
"No! I almost had him!" Mystic Celesta chastised herself for turning her intended blast for Burizalor on Tagomamon. She hung her head. "I let you down, everyone."
"Tagomamon, you died to ensure Lord Burizalor's revenge is carried out," Sorbetmon closed his eyes and bowed to honor his fallen comrade. "You served us well."
"Hah, what was that?!" The Warlord taunted Mystic Celesta. "Are your sure your aim wasn't off? Or, maybe you're just a crap shot?"
Burizalor chortled. "Well done, Tagomamon. If there's any consolation for him, he made quite the training partner for us." He veered over to the Bearer of Light. "Next time, your aim better be on mark or you'll never get another opportunity like that again. But, as expected you're just like your brother. Both prone to making foolish choices."
"You want my brother?! You'll need to go through me first!" Mystic Celesta challenged the Fiends. Wow, I'm able to hold my own, and not even train for a while!
Max telepathically reached Mystic Celesta. Don't start believing in your own hype yet, Kari. Besides, you've only shown me how rusty around the edges you are. I understand it's been a while since you last seriously trained.
I didn't count on Burizalor ever coming back, much less uniting with one of his loyal henchmen and the Warlord!
No, I understand. You wanted to move on, but being a Digidestined, you should know peace times are never everlasting. Thankfully you still have a bulk of that Mystic power thanks to Homeostasis, but at this point if Burizalor transforms like I think he will, I don't like your chances. Even as strong as you've become since Planet Spira.
You really think Burizalor and these two have gotten that much more potent?
I get the feeling these three have yet to show the bulk of these new powers they've acquired, Kari. Max warned Mystic Celesta telepathically.
Feeling a gulp in her throat, Mystic Celesta dreaded this gulf of power the Fiends have yet to tap into.
Burizalor chortled while dusting himself off.
"I must admit I didn't see that coming from you," Burizalor rubbed the bruise that Mystic Celesta left on him. "Congratulations on being the first to deal the first real blow to my renewed body, but don't let that feeling of comfort sink into your head, Hikari. And Homeostasis, I know you can hear me, you meddlesome program." He furrowed his brows and gazed through Homeostasis' transparent presence behind Mystic Celesta It looked like a ghostly long-haired woman dressed in white garb. "When it's all said and done, you and Hikari will both meet your demise."
"Lord Burizalor, don't you think it's about time we put these fools in their place?" Cyrus inquired to his liege.
"Yes, we must settle things here if that coward Taichi doesn't show."
The Warlord put on a maniacal grin. "Well then! Hear that?! Guess it's time to kill ya! But, make sure the women are still breathing, cause I've got other plans for them." He eyed the females in the crowd.
As Dramon X heard this, he planted a boot into BebiMephistomon's chest and phased right over to the Kuiper duo. Sedna and Orcus kept close to Dramon X as the trio defiantly glared the Warlord down.
(End theme)
"This isn't good! I've got to do something... wait!" Mimi realized, punching her own palm. "Of course! Why didn't I think of that sooner?!"
"Mom?" Keke overheard her.
"What's she thinking now?" Sedna wondered.
"You never know with my mom," Angemon X sighed.
She raised her head and took a deep breath. "Whismon! Are you there?! Hello!"
Everyone else turned and noticed at Mimi 'talking' to the sky. The Fiends, especially, gawked at the woman as if she lost her absolute freaking mind.
"Who is she talking to, Lord Burizalor?" Cyrus blinked in befuddlement.
"Seems fear really has gripped her so much she's calling for her savior. Not that will do her much good," Burizalor smirked. Wait, unless... could she be summoning for him?!
Realizing this possibility, the digital tyrant couldn't help but feel a wave of anxiety pour over him.
If she is summoning for Taichi, then I can finally exact the second-half of my revenge! Yes, do call to him, woman! I'll do him as I did to that other Taichi and his pathetic world!

Staying true to his gluttonous nature, Beerusmon bit off and devoured melted cheese from some pizza. He then washed it all down with a glass of wine, letting out a satisfied and jolly laugh.
After finishing their time room training, Tai & VictoryGreymon and Matt & ZeedGarurumon put their newly gained strengths to the test as they sparred with Whismon.
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Beerus' Tea Time)
"Hey, Whismon!" Beerusmon called over to his attendant.
Whismon paused, leaving the other four to train. "You called, my lord?"
"What's this stuff called again? The gooey, stretchy stuff on top."
"Hmm, let's see. What was it called? It starts with a c..."
Matt interrupted. "...it's cheese!"
"It's cheese! That's it!" Beerusmon grinned, licking some sauce off his snout. "I do love it when it's all melted!"
"Oh, honestly, Lord Beerusmon!" Tai griped, scratching his head. "Did you need to halt our training to talk about food?"
"If I want to, yes," the Digital God of Destruction darkened his once jovial tone. "I'd also recommend not take that tone with a destroyer like that again. Don't forget, your Digital World's culinary feasts are the only reason it still exists, but if you prefer it I can destroy it now while you spar in peace."
VictoryGreymon backed off. "Whoa, let's not get hasty here, Lord Beerusmon!"
Nervously sweating, Tai anxiously pleaded to the deity. "Yeah, that's ok! I'm sorry!" He clamped hands together and bowed.
As Beerusmon returned to eating, Whismon heard the whistling of a newcomer. He looked up to see a green orb of light floating over to him. This green orb faded, revealing the prophetic Seermon.
"Someone's not receiving his phone messages!" Seermon chimed in, floating over Whismon. "You got a call from Earth a while ago and it sounded very serious!"
"Oh?" Whismon summoned his staff and peeked through the orb situated on top of it. "You're right. It seems I did miss a call." He noticed a red dot blinking on a visual showing Earth. "I wonder if it's another delectable offering from Lady Mimi. That'd be nice." He saw an image of Mimi holding up a delicious big bowl of strawberry ice cream. "Ah, it is! But, what did she call it? A strawberry sundae? I can only hope it tastes as appealing as it looks! That girl certainly knows how to pique my interest! I'll have to check in and find out more!"
Just then, Beerusmon pushed Whismon and gazed hungrily at the sundae.
"Hurry! I wanna know, too!"
"Hello, Lady Mimi!" Whismon chimed in, sending a direct message to Mimi on Earth.

"This strawberry sundae wouldn't happen to be a sweet, would it?"
Mimi looked up and blinked dumbfounded. "Whismon?"

"WHAT THE HELL TOOK YOU SO LONG?! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOREVER!"
Whismon, Beerusmon, Tai, and VictoryGreymon cringed fearfully at Mimi's angry outburst. Matt and ZeedGarurumon stayed unfazed, choosing not to incur Mimi's wrath.
"Tai and Matt are there, right?! Tell them to bring their butts back home now! And I don't want to hear anymore crap about training! It's an emergency!"

Earth/Outskirts of Yumenoshima, Tokyo, Japan (ゆめのしま, ときょ, じゃぱん)/12:57 PM
Everyone turned their attention immediately to Mimi, who looked like she was talking to the sky. Some thought the poor woman completely lost her mind. But, the mention of Tai and Matt grabbed their attention. None were more interested than the Three Fiends.
"That evil scumbag Burizalor has come back to kill us! And he's brought some buddies to make things more miserable for us! He's brought the Warlord and some other guy that looks like Matt! The Earth is in danger!"
Max chuckled under his breath. "Couldn't have done it any better than her."
Keke sweatdropped. "Leave it to Mimi to get it done."
Angemon X shook his head. "That's our mom, sis."
Irked by Mimi's insult, Burizalor scowled and gritted. "Scumbag, am I?"
Cyrus added with a snicker. "I don't know, my liege. I'd rather like the sound of scumbag than fiend. The Three Scumbags?"
"You're not helping our case, Cyrus," the Warlord facepalmed.

"What?! Burizalor's back to life?!" Both Tai and Matt yelled out in shock.
The Bearer of Friendship then scowled upon hearing of this 'look alike' Mimi alluded to. "That guy that looks like me... that can't be none other than Cyrus Fujita! So, after escaping X and Kensuke, he and the Warlord found a way to revive Burizalor? No way. That bastard's back after all these years?"
"Hold on, Mimi! We'll have Whismon take us down here!" Tai contacted Mimi.
"It takes about 35 minutes," Whismon revealed the time duration. "And that's just maximum speed.
"Are you nuts?! We don't have 35 minutes! Use your Instant Movement thing, Tai!"
"Yeah, but I've got to sense energy signals for it to work, Mimi! And I'm not sure I can do it this far away!"
"Burizalor and his goons' energies should be totally huge! Look, the other guys here can help, too!"

Mimi called over to her friends. "Tai's about to use Instant Movement and he needs a clear signal to lock onto! Everyone power up to max!"
"You heard the lady!" Max announced as he, the D3s, Angemon X, Mystic Celesta, WarAngemon, Dramon X, BanchoLeomon, BW, Pikkan, and Sheila powered up with flaring auras, creating a signal for the Ascendants.
"Why don't we lend them support, Orcus?" Sedna asked as she summoned Knut the polar bear's spiritual essence.
"Why not?!" Orcus added, invoking her bat spirit, Razor, and his spiritual presence.
"Pikachu?" Red watched the yellow rodent's body ignite with a surge of yellow lightning in conjunction with the warriors' sending energy.
Red's other Pokemon glowed with energy to help create a giant beacon signal for Tai.
The Fiends were frankly pleased with this development.
"Um, what are they doing, milords?" Sorbetmon blinked in befuddlement at the group's flaring auras igniting the vicinity.
"What do you think?" Warlord scoffed in annoyance at inquiry.
"I'd safely guess it's a signal to their savior," Burizalor surmised with a smirk.

Tai had two fingers on his forehead as he started to lock on the surging energy signal emanate from Earth. He captured images of his friends standing united and bathed varied colored auras. He also got a clear image of the Three Fiends, including Burizalor.
"I got 'em!" The Bearer of Courage quickly announced. "Matt, let's get going!" He extended a hand to the blonde.
"What?! You're actually asking me to hold your hand?" Matt balked at Tai's hand offer.
"Just do it, ok? You know how Mimi gets when she's like this! We better get moving before she says something to piss off Burizalor!"
Matt contemplated even giving his hand to Tai. Then, he heard a familiar chuckle inside his mind. His face blanched for a moment. Matt's didn't want to believe it. He had thought he was gone for good.
No, it's too good to be true. Yamato...? Matt grumbled in his mind. Or, am I just hearing things?
"Matt, what are you waiting for?!"
Without thinking, Matt grabbed Tai's hand. VictoryGreymon and ZeedGarurumon assembled next to their partners ready for departure.
"Ok, we're leaving now! Next stop Earth!"
Shoom.
With that, the two Digidestined and their Digimon teleported quicker than a blink.

And not a moment too soon, Tai & VictoryGreymon and Matt & ZeedGarurumon reappeared on Earth. Matt yanked his hand away and turned his head.
"TAI! MATT!" Nearly everyone cried out.
"Tai!" Max, Mystic Celesta, Sedna, Angemon X, and Dramon X yelled out as they crowded near him.
"Big brother!" Mystic Celesta hugged Tai.
"Hey, sis! You and the others holding up the fort while we've been away? I'm proud of you!" Tai hugged her back. He noticed Max approach him. "Ah, Max!"
"Glad you can make it, Tai," Max smiled to the Bearer of Courage.
"Dad!" Keke called out to Matt.
"About time you made it," Mimi winked to him.
Dramon X momentarily noticed Matt and clenched his fists. With a lovingly pat from Orcus, he calmed his nerves.
"Relax, Ken. That other side of him is not there anymore."
"I want to believe that, Christina."
(End theme)
Taking a moment to glance at his hated enemy, Burizalor gave an impressed look.
"Yes, I can tell you're pleased with this, Lord Burizalor," Cyrus acknowledged.
"The man... or rather, men of the hour have arrived," the Warlord eyed Tai and Matt.
"Judging by the looks of things, we made it in time," Tai scanned the area. "That's good."
"Well, to be honest, you were cutting it pretty close," Angemon X said.
"It's be nice if you showed up at the start of the fight," Sedna shrugged. "But, hey, it's you we're talking here, Tai." She let out a half-hearted chuckle. "We're just glad you're even here, my friend."
"Eheheh, yeah! Sorry about that!" Tai apologized with a goofy laugh.
"Well, the guest of honor is here!" Cyrus announced. "Wouldn't you say, Lord Burizalor?"
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST – Inescapable Fear)
"Indeed," Burizalor replied as his lips curled into a smirk. With a flick of his tail, he knocked his hover chair away. "I've been waiting such a long time for you, Taichi!" He earned a glare from Tai, who stood his ground and intently faced him. "And I didn't expect Yamato to show up, too, but Ascendant primates do travel in troops. All that matters to me is that I get to truly destroy you."
"I thought we were done with you for good, Burizalor!" Tai addressed him. "How did you come back to life?"
"His new accomplices, the Warlord and Cyrus, used some other world's Digicores, otherwise called the Crimson Digicores, to bring him back to life!" Max revealed Tai and the others.
"Wait, there's other worlds with their own Digicores?" Tai gasped upon hearing this. "And you neglected to tell us that and about Burizalor's revival?"
"Yeah, me and my team were trying to track them down, but they kept getting off our radar. The fact Burizalor's learned to cross into other dimensions would explain why he's been able to come and go off our detection," Max further explained. "Burizalor's revival was roughly six month ago."
"Yep, you can thank me and my new accomplice here for that," the Warlord grinned maniacally. He then pointed to Cyrus. "We've opened the doors to other dimension travel to Burizalor and shown the way to recruit other dimension warriors to deal punishment to you all!"
"And by entering other dimensions, we'd conceal our presence while we prep our revenge on you!" Cyrus said.
Burizalor added. "It was quite poetic to use another world's set of Digicores to save me from Digital Limbo!" His features conveyed utter disgust with having to describe 'that place'. "Oh, you couldn't begin to imagine the depths of my newfound suffering there. I spent days strung up like a damned pupating Mothmon trapped above a delicate field of flowers where angels, fairies, and enchanted stuffed animals lived. They played songs and danced asinine jigs as if their only care in life was when they would get their next warm, fuzzy hug! Instead of ruling the Digiverse with an iron fist, I was serenaded by cuddly puppies!"
"Don't put that out on me, Burizalor! You came to Earth before looking for a fight with me!" Tai chided him. He veered over to Angemon X. "That's the only reason my friend, Dimitri, here took your life!"
"I had to return! That's what you don't get!" Burizalor scowled, conveying his contempt for Tai and his friends. "I'll never sleep on either side knowing I share them with you! Your death is my remedy! That's why I've been training since my return to ensure I don't lose to you again! Having to put a real effort in anything was a first for me, Taichi. I'll make sure you suffer horribly for that, too!"
As Burizalor descended, the Warlord and Cyrus kept their distance, but maintained eye contact with Tai and Matt's entourage.
"Don't think I've forgotten about you, my old pains," the Warlord addressed Max and the D3s.
"Ah, Matt Ishida, it's been a while, hasn't it?" Cyrus stared intently at his former successor. "Too bad you squandered your chances of taking after me. Oh well, we'll correct that by taking your life."
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Angemon X coldly warned Cyrus.
"Let's be careful. Dimitri," Sedna whispered to him. "We've already seen just how strong Burizalor and the other two are. You and TK were almost killed."
"Yeah, but you should no one threatens my family."
Burizalor paused after taking a few steps toward Tai, Matt, and their partner Digimon.
(End theme)
"Yeah, I can tell you're a lot stronger than the last time we met, Burizalor!" Tai assessed the digital tyrant's powers. "The Warlord and Cyrus, too, seem they've leveled up by a whole lot. There's no question you three aren't going to be cake walks. But, it has been a long time. You should've noticed how much stronger I've gotten!"
"The first time we fought, I made mistakes that caught me off guard!" Burizalor openly admitted. "To ensure that won't happen, I'm going to take on my final form from the start!"
(Cue Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' OST – The Ruthless Freeza)
With that, the entire vicinity started the quiver as an unbridled power quickly surged from Burizalor. The earth quickly trembled hard, causing the warriors and Digimon to try holding their ground. A thick purple aura ignited like fire around Burizalor. Gritting his teeth, Burizalor clenched his fists as his body seemingly buckled by a rising surge of power ready to bust out like a massive tidal wave preparing to break open a wall.
Burizalor grunted hard and yelled out, sending an immense shockwave that pushed back Tai & VictoryGreymon and Matt & ZeedGarurumon first. Everyone else held their ground.
"Everyone get back!" Tai warned his friends away.
Once the others swiftly moved away from close quarters with the tyrant...
Boom!
From the flaring aura, a column of energy shot out erratically from Burizalor. The digital tyrant became engulfed in an immense energy glow, which ripped and shattered the exterior of his body.
The column of energy that shot out of Burizalor reached the sky, quickly altering the weather patterns and causing the sky hanging over Japan to darken. The once lively and vibrant blue sky converted into a gloomy and depressing share of dark gray mixed with dark blue. White clouds became black. The entire mood and setting reflected the impending dread the tyrant was set to inflict on the world.
Everyone watched in horror as the flaring aura covering Burizalor revealed his final form. Gone were the battle armor, the horns, the chitin, and the variety of colors. In place of the pink, purple, and lavender was pearl and pristine white. He once again assumed the unimposing form his foes remembered him last by: a white humanoid with a purple chitin armor adorning his bulbous forehead, shoulders and ankles. The energy power surrounding him was so great it pulsated loudly at an extremely high frequency. His long tail wiggled back and forth behind him.
Beneath his feet, there was a gaping hole. Rock debris rained all over him. The ground where he once stood was wiped out by the energy surge.
He stood bathed in a bright reddish aura that converted to purple and finally to pink. The tyrant once again became the force worse than a monster of titanic proportions.
"Lord Burizalor?!" Sorbetmon gazed in awe over his master's true form.
"Yes, it's finally time you show your true self, my liege," Cyrus muttered.
The Warlord nodded in approval. "Not bad, but wait until me and Cyrus really cut loose next."
"What the...?!" Matt, along with ZeedGarurumon, were at a loss for words.
"This power just spiked like I've never imagined!" WarAngemon exclaimed.
Mystic Celesta shuddered, feeling the dark power emanating from Burizalor. Angemon X and Dramon X kept Sedna and Orcus close to them.
"Holy crap, just what kind of training did he do?" The Bearer of Courage wondered out loud.
VictoryGreymon whispered to Tai. "You're feeling this, Tai? He wasn't lying about that training he went through... but why do I get a bad feeling there's more to this power boost than he's letting on?"
"Yeah, he can't just have trained for a few months," Tai muttered.
You noticed, too? Max telepathically spoke with Tai. That's because these three got their new power augmentations from a deity source. I might've told you about RedNovaDemon before?
Just a little... is that where they found those Crimson Digicores?
Yeah, Tai. So, you, Matt, and your partners need to be ready for anything!
Chortling darkly, Burizalor raised his head and looked his adversaries dead in their eyes.
"The long wait is over, my adversaries," the tyrant spoke.
Tai and VictoryGreymon stepped up to look up at the augmented villain.
"I'll tell you this you're no push over. That's for sure," Tai frankly addressed him. "If you weren't so rotten to the core, you'd make a great sparring partner for me. What a waste."
"That's just the sort of small-minded drivel that makes your existence so intolerable."
In response to Burizalor's power, Tai and VictoryGreymon powered up basked in white auras. Matt and ZeedGarurumon moved away, giving Tai and VictoryGreymon room to size up Burizalor.
Burizalor concealed his anger behind a collective smile. "Go on. Channel that Ascendant glow that I abhor so much."
"To be honest, Burizalor, I'm not sure we'll need to yet," Tai shot a condescending grin at the tyrant.
"Well, well, seems the primate and his pet are wearing bigger britches than I thought."
Tai nodded. "That's right."
"Fine the brown-haired Taichi's pelt will look just good mounted on my wall," Burizalor smirked, readily dropping into a battle stance.
(End theme)
Both Tai and VictoryGreymon dropped into fighting stance. Neither one budged an inch while facing down Burizalor.
"Place your bets," the Warlord muttered, turning an eye to Max. "So how much you're willing to wager?"
"None since you and me have unfinished business," Max beckoned the Warlord over to fight him.
"And don't think you're out of the woods, Cyrus," Angemon X pointed his sword toward the aforementioned Fiend.
"Then, let's decide this once and for all, my old pains," the Warlord walked over toward Max and the D3s.
"Get ready, guys!" Max called over the D3s, who quickly assembled behind him.
After calling forth BebiMephistomon, Cyrus and the aforementioned monster advanced on Mystic Celesta, WarAngemon, Angemon X, Dramon X, Sedna, Orcus, Red, and the others.
"Your move," Burizalor called for Tai and VictoryGreymon to attack.
"Let's go," Tai furrowed his brows.

Next chapter: Clash! The Ascendants vs. The Fiends!

A/N: And the main event is finally here. Well, kinda.
Considering the grand scope of this multidimensional war, there's still other battles that need to be covered:
1) The Warlord and Giganmon vs the D3s and their Kaiju Digimon.
2) Cyrus vs Angemon X/Sedna/Mystic Celesta/WarAngemon.
3) BebiMephistomon & Infected!Pokemon vs Dramon X/Orcus/Red's Pokemon.
4) The remaining battles sweeping Tokyo, including the heroes vs. the Dex Digimon.
5) The SIN battle, which I will show in this edition since Beerusmon and Whismon will get involved and help Moon, Houou Mars, Saturn, and Madoka.
The other dimension battles involving the primary YYGDM-01 cast and the FF7/FFX scenes will all happen off screen. By this point, the mooks have mostly been taken care of and the WEAPONS battles are about to wind down. If you want to revisit those battles, you have the Resurrection B movie fic edition to read.
So, fear not. It won't just strictly be Omega X vs Burizalor since there's still those conflicts that need to be resolved. Minor battles won't be covered in any detail just to save time and energy.
Oh, and I neglected to mention before but yes Sedna and Angemon X nabbed Red from the Pokemon world. The Fiends stole some Pokemon there that need to some saving and be free of the bad guys' control.
Project-BebiMephisto has been revealed: the Janemba/Baby fusion expy based on the same creature from Dragon Ball Heroes card video game series. Actually the Janemba expy would've been SuperMephistomon, but now he's merged with Bebimon to create BebiMephistomon. All I can say is Kensuke/Dramon X is in for quite a fight with a reality warping freak of nature.
And as previously started, Project-SIN will be revealed next chapter since Beerusmon and Whismon will be int.
Meanwhile, DexDorugoramon serves as a kinda Hirudegarn expy (not as strong though since these are copies of the original). So, we'll see how the miscellaneous heroes contend with them.
Unlike Gohan, Kari manages to keep reserves of her mystic power thanks to Homeostasis. And she manages the first hit on Burizalor before her brother does. Good for her.
And look who's back... 17's counterpart, Jax! And if congrats if you guessed him being Meiko's boyfriend. That's right and once again much thanks to Sesshoru for letting me use this couple for my story. And unlike in Resurrection B movie fic, Jax's not being paid off. Instead, he bargained to have Tony Stark let him use his one of his Iron Man suits to protect the animals in automated mode.
And lastly, Tai, Matt, and their partners have arrived thanks to Mimi. The main fight with Burizalor commences next chapter among other battles as well.
And with that, I leave you until the next update. Send a review and take care!
