Dimension: DAT-05/Odaiba, Tokyo, Japan (お台場、東京、日本)

(Cue Digimon Adventure tri OST – Alphamon no Theme)

"Let him have it, Omegamon!" Taichi (tri.) commanded as Omegamon (tri.) bombarded DexDorugoramon with blasts.

DexDorugoramon whirled around and absorbed the blasts with his back. Omegamon (tri.) swooped down and charged, slashing his Transcendent Sword at DexDorugoramon. The Digimon erratically parried Omegamon's slashes and knocked him away with an aura. Alphamon hastily drove Divine Sword Grade Alpha consecutively into DexDorugoramon, pushing the beast aside.

"Never thought we'd be thanking you, Alphamon," Yamato (tri.) said, suspiciously watching the dark-armored knight. The battle with Alphamon while protecting Meicoomon was still fresh on his mind.

Although Alphamon's motivations remain unclear in that instance, his actions against Burizalor were clear as day. He wanted the invaders dealt with.

DexDorugoramon surprised the DAT-05 with its quick recovery. The damage both dealt to it healed quickly. In response to Alphamon's immense power, DexDorugoramon hunched over as thin webbing materialized over the behemoth. This digitized webbing formed into a cocoon-like shell.

"It's encasing itself in some kind of cocoon! Quick, Omegamon!" Taichi (tri.) commanded.

"Locked on target," Omegamon complied, firing off Double Shot – a combination attack of Supreme Cannon's frigid ice blast covering DexDorugoramon in layers of ice and Transcendent Sword to slice through the monster's protective shell.

"Keep it going! We can't let it evolve!" Yamato (tri.) exclaimed.

Watching Omegamon (tri.) going to town on the behemoth, Alphamon opened his wings and forged green circle of light. From this circle, a green energy wave shot out with force and impacted DexDorugoramon's shell.

However, despite their efforts, the cocoon closed over DexDorugoramon. The shell slowly split open and green light leaked out. From the shell, Dexmon emerged fully evolved and flew out to meet the two Knights.

"Damn, that wasn't enough?!" Taichi (tri.) blanched, coming to grips with the monster's insane durability. "Yamato, we haven't anything this strong before!"

"Yeah, but we're not about to let it beat us!"

"You got that right! We're wing this out and meet this challenge head-on! For our fallen friends!" Taichi (tri.) yelled out boldly. A new fire reignited his passion to fight and save the world; it was a catharsis he desperately wanted to get out since their Digimon friends returned.

Omegamon and Alphamon swiftly evaded Dexmon's charge. They unloaded a volley of blasts that hit Dexmon's back. Dexmon turned around, roaring and glaring with murderous intent. Alphamon sensed a viral presence emanate from Dexmon.

Alphamon charged with his Ouryuken and pierced through Dexmon's chest. Dexmon responded by expelling greenish flames, which bathed through Alphamon. Relentless in his attack, Alphamon pulled out Ouryuken and slashed into Dexmon.

(End theme)

Just then, a silver light gleamed inside Dexmon's chest. Omegamon (tri.) noticed a shimmering beam of light shoot out and blast Alphamon head-on.

"You saw that, didn't you, Taichi?"

"Yeah, seems our big friend might've exposed an area of attack. Omegamon?"

Omegamon (tri.) readied his sword. "Whether it's his weak point or not, it's something." He charged over to Alphamon. "We might've found a chink to this monster's armor."

(Cue Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children OST – Battle in the Forgotten City)

Alphamon nodded and brandished Ouryuken.

Dexmon surprised the two Knights as his body dissolved and vanished in a mist. Before Omegamon (tri.) and Alphamon could do anything to respond, Dexmon reformed behind them and smashed them both down. As Omegamon (tri.) fell, he swerved around while Taichi (tri.) and Yamato (tri.) hung on with dear life.

Dexmon smashed Alphamon through some building rubble and flew up into the air. Dexmon unleashed a green wave that incinerated the rubble covering the area where Alphamon presumably was buried.

"Alphamon!" Omegamon (tri.) called out, gliding over the green flames wildly bathing over the vicinity. He saw Dexmon vanish and reform right front of him.

"Look out!" Yamato (tri.) shouted, turning away as Dexmon reached for them.

Omegamon (tri.) readied a counterattack, but Alphamon shot out of the ground and batted away Dexmon's hands. Alphamon didn't stop there as he smashed Dexmon's face with his Ouryuken. Dexmon stumbled back and crashed through a building behind it.

"Can't let this thing continue to destroy what's left of our town!" Taichi (tri.) shouted. He apprehensively watched the green flames consume more rubble of their favorite hang out spots.

Just then, Taichi (tri.) noticed Phoenixmon, Dorothy, and Avengemon flying over past them. He gasped in shock as his eyes fell on the ginger-haired girl riding the top of Phoenixmon.

Looking like he had seen a ghost, Taichi (tri.) cried out to her. "Sora?!"

Upon hearing her name, Sora looked down and saw Omegamon (tri.). Her eyes shot open as she saw Taichi (tri.) and Yamato (tri.).

"Tai?! Matt?!"

"Where?" Phoenixmon asked.

"Tai?!" Dorothy asked. "Where?" She tried to sense his Ki, but sensed a weaker signal than she's accustomed to. She caught Taichi (tri.) from plain sight and gasped. "Tai...?" Until reality reminded her of his weak Ki. "No, that's not our Tai. I bet it's this world's Tai."

"This world's Tai?"

"You two go on and find our Tai! I'm going to give this one help!" Dorothy said.

"But, Dorothy...!"

"It's ok, Sora," Phoenixmon added. "Besides, I'm sure Dorothy and Avengemon will catch up with us."

"All right."

"Don't worry about us!" Dorothy flashed a grin and thumbs up to Sora.

Nodding, Sora beckoned Phoenixmon to continue toward Omega X's general direction.

"Ready, Avengemon?" Dorothy asked her partner.

"Yes, let us bring swift justice to this abomination!"

Just as Dexmon was about to sneak attack Omegamon (tri.), Alphamon prepared to stop him. Then, a Tsunami Wave blasted Dexmon's face. Dorothy flew forward with Avengemon. She kept her attack focused on Dexmon's face. This distraction allowed Avengemon to bust the back of Dexmon's head with a double axe handle. This attack stunned the behemoth enough for Omegamon and Alphamon (tri.) to attack. Both Knights drove their swords through Dexmon's chest, aiming to find and destroy the core sustaining its life.

Taichi (tri.) and Yamato (tri.) both dismounted from Omegamon (tri.). As they fell from a seemingly high altitude, Dorothy swooped in catching them both under her arms. She sighted a clearing and set them down.

Taichi (tri.) was aghast at Dorothy's intervention. "Wh-Who are you?!"

Yamato (tri.) was equally befuddled. "How can a human girl just shoot energy blasts like that?!"

"Sorry for the scare, but I guess you aren't used to seeing people like me, huh?" Dorothy openly apologized. "My name's Dorothy and that's Avengemon. I'm Tai's student."

"Tai... Ah, you mean that other me with the blue hair I just met!"

Dorothy nodded. "Yep! Ah, so you met him! And you're this world's Taichi?" She smiled, gazing into Taichi (tri.)'s eyes, happy but disappointed this wasn't her adoptive father figure. She approached Taichi (tri.) and poked his chest. "You're not him, but you have a brave heart just like him." She smiled proudly nonetheless.

As Dexmon grabbed the Knights, Avengemon dove into Dexmon and decked it in the face. Dexmon returned the favor and repelled him back with an aura.

"Avengemon!" Dorothy cried out. She shot up and helped catch Avengemon.

"Incredible...!" Yamato (tri.) was in awe over Dorothy's strength.

"If the other me trained somebody like her, he's one awesome dude!" Taichi (tri.) grinned, clenching a fist in front of him. "Dorothy, please give Omegamon support to bring this thing down!"

Dorothy smiled and whispered to Avengemon. "Let's honor his wish, my friend."

"And we shall."

(Cue Pokemon Origins OST – Mewtwo Battle Theme)

Red raced past debris as he made it to the battle area where his Pokemon battled the Infected Pokemon. He slipped behind some rocks and watched Pikachu charging at Darkrai.

"Get him, Pikachu!" Red cheered the electric yellow rodent on.

As Darkrai seemingly went straight for Pikachu, the yellow rodent had other ideas. It swerved past Darkrai's reach and pounced into the air. A surge of yellow electrical energy covered the rodent, who then sent a thunderous blast down on Darkrai.

Darkrai narrowly swerved out of Pikachu's range and swiftly knocked the yellow rodent back with Feint Attack. Pikachu barely dodged, only to take half the attack. As Pikachu was knocked away, Darkrai floated over to use Dark Pulse.

"Hey!" Red called out and distracted Darkrai. "Over here!"

Drawing Darkrai's attention from Pikachu, Red bravely beckoned him to come. Darkrai growled and headed straight for Red. Seeing Red in danger invoked Pikachu's battle spirit, enabling him to pounce on Darkrai's back. Pikachu's fur lit up with surges of electricity, powering up one of his signature attacks: Thunderbolt.

Upon delivering a shocking blast, Darkrai collapsed as an egg popped from its head and shriveled to dust.

"Great work, Pikachu! That thing on Darkrai's head must've been the source controlling him, but thankfully you've broken it and set him free!"

Pikachu landed beside Red. "Pika! Pika! Pikachu!"

"Yeah, looks like Charizard and the others are just wrapping things up! C'mon!" Red called Pikachu over to follow.

On an opposite side of the battlefield, Shadow Lugia expelled Shadow Blast on Charizard. Charizard dodged Shadow Lugia's volley of dark blasts. Shadow Lugia dove into Charizard and headbutted the orange dragon, sending it crashing into the ground.

"Charizard! It's time to shine using Mega Evolution!" Red beckoned his Pokemon.

(End theme)

(Cue Pokemon Origins OST – Mega Charizard X Theme)

With that, Charizard awoke and rose. He let out a deafening roar that shook the vicinity. Shadow Lugia folded his wings, protecting from Charizard's earth-shattering scream. A blue pillar of flames engulfed Charizard, evolving him into Mega Charizard X, a black-schemed version of Charizard with a cyan-skinned underbelly. Blue flames exuded from his mouth and tail.

Shadow Lugia responded to Mega Charizard X's challenge by a Shadow Storm. In response, Mega Charizard X flew up and dodged Shadow Lugia's incoming storm. He and Shadow Lugia initiated an aerial battle, body slamming into one another several times. Shadow Lugia turned and tried casting his storm attack.

"We won't be defeated, Charizard!" Red encouraged his Pokemon.

Mega Charizard X flew around Shadow Lugia and shoulder tackled him in the side. He then grabbed fired Flamethrower, catching Shadow Lugia's back. Shadow Lugia screamed painfully as Mega Charizard X's blue flames leaked through its skin and purged the egg-like object that controlled Shadow Lugia.

"Way to, Charizard!"

As Mega Charizard descended, he carried the now purified Lugia.

"That's two Pokemon purified," the Pokemon trainer counted. He watched as Venusaur and Blastoise defeated Gyarados and Tyranitar. "Make that four. Just three left!"

Hydreigon had Lucario pinned to a wall and prepared to finish the fight. Then, Mega Charizard X intercepted Hydreigon and blasted it blue flames. Lucario rebounded with a Flash Cannon, combining with Mega Charizard X's attack to overwhelm Hydreigon. Defeated, Hydreigon fell as the mind-controlling egg popped out of its head and shriveled up.

Mewtwo quickly made short work of Gengar and knocked him out with a psychic attack. Ho-oh stopped Bisharp in no time.

(End theme)

"That's all of them! Good, they're all freed from their control!" Red announced, declaring a minor victory among a slew of other battles yet to be won. "But, that's not the end of this conflict. No, there's still the scumbags that turned these Pokemon into their tools!" He looked up to see BebiMephistomon battling Dramon X and his partners.

xxxxx

Dramon X looked down to see Red and his Pokemon cheering him on.

"Awesome work, Red! You've managed to free those Pokemon!" Dramon X cried out. He veered to BebiMephistomon, snarling. "Hear that? You and your bosses' control over your slaves have been lifted! You're on the losing side now!"

BebiMephistomon grumbled seeing his Infected Pokemon now purified. He growled and swung his blade at Dramon X. Dramon X quickly caught the demon's blade. Then, he powered up and entered into his Delta Burst Mode.

(Cue Gundam 00 OST – TRANS-AM RAISER)

Intrigued by Dramon X's ascension, BebiMephistomon naturally became compelled to attack. He swung his sword, which then Dramon X DBM caught and shattered with his own hand. Dramon X DBM then swerved around behind BebiMephistomon and kicked hard in the rear, sending him crashing near the Fiends' fortress.

As BebiMephistomon recovered, Dai-Valkyrie Orcus, Titaniamon, CyberBeelzemon, and OmegaShoutmon were there to greet him.

"Mind if we be your dance partners now?!" Orcus declared, throwing her sais at BebiMephistomon.

BebiMephistomon conjured a wormhole, which swallowed up Orcus' sais.

"Aw, son of a bitch!" Orcus shouted, but before she can attack, another portal opened up on her right.

"Orcus, incoming!" Titaniamon warned Orcus once the sais came flying out of the portal. As she dashed in to intercept the sais, Orcus' spirit animal, Razor the bat, appeared and caught both sais with his feet.

"Whew, great timing, Razor!" Orcus sighed with relief.

"No prob, my favorite Aussie beauty!"

"You flatter me, Razor."

"How about a boost?"

"Never thought you'd ask!" Orcus extended her hand to Razor, who morphed into a black orb and flew into Orcus' body. Her Dai-Valkyrie armor absorbed Razor's essence, who helped empower her.

BebiMephistomon rushed at Orcus, but then CyberBeelzemon shot him from the side. OmegaShoutmon ambushed BebiMephistomon. BebiMephistomon unleashed an aura, repelling CyberBeelzemon and OmegaShoutmon. BebiMephistomon scratched the air, creating diamond-like shards that erupted into a storm and shot toward the warriors.

"Move your asses!" CyberBeelzemon shouted as he and his cohorts evaded the deadly skin-piercing shards.

CyberBeelzemon fired back with his Atomic Death Ray, which BebiMephistomon halted with his hand.

"Oh shit, you've gotta be kidding me!"

Grinning evilly, BebiMephistomon altered the beam's shape and forged a lightsaber from it. He dashed toward CyberBeelzemon, wildly deflecting and slashing CyberBeelzemon's blasts. BebiMephistomon swung his light sword around, attempting to bisect through his waist. OmegaShoutmon rushed and tackled BebiMephistomon. BebiMephistomon fired a green mouth blast, hitting OmegaShoutmon with it.

Dai-Valkyrie Orcus, now sporting bat's wings, swooped down and kicked BebiMephistomon's face. Unfazed, BebiMephistomon grabbed Orcus' legs and swung her around, tossing her aside. Dramon X DBM teleported over and caught his Kuiper girlfriend.

"Nice catch, my loving knight in armor!" Orcus gleamed while in Dramon DBM's embrace.

"Yeah, you're welcome," Dramon X DBM awkwardly replied, watching BebiMephistomon making short work of his Digimon partners. "Hang on, guys!"

"Be careful, Ken! His ability to manipulate and alter objects are what makes him a pain in the butt."

"Guys! Try insulting him!" Dramon X DBM called out.

"Or, that'll work," Orcus shrugged. "Why didn't I just do that?! Ugh, stupid me!"

As BebiMephistomon rushed Titaniamon with his lightsaber, the Digi-Amazon used Ken's advice.

"You call that a sword?! Mine can beat yours, you dumbass!" Titaniamon snapped.

Crack!

BebiMephistomon doubled over as parts of his body shattered and chipped like glass. Titaniamon powered up and shifted into her Speed Armor. She launched herself and raced through BebiMephistomon, breaking him in two. As Titaniamon collected both CyberBeelzemon and OmegaShoutmon, BebiMephistomon's body reformatted itself to normal.

(End theme)

"OmegaShoutmon, how about we combine our strengths?" Titaniamon suggested. "Your armor should increase my offense and defense stats."

"Sure! Hey, Ken!"

"You've got it, guys!" Dramon X DBM used his Digivice to Xros Fuse Titaniamon and OmegaShoutmon.

(Cue Digimon Xros Wars OST – DigiXros!)

Once the two combined inside a flash of golden light, a single warrior emerged in their place. The warrior was still Titaniamon. However, OmegaShoutmon's golden armor became her body armor. His head became her helmet. His limbs became her arm gauntlets, leg guards, and footwear. She entered her Omega Mode.

Calling upon her Oberon Sword, Titaniamon Omega Mode ran her hand through her sword, which became imbued with golden light. She took a stance and rushed forward, swinging her Oberon Sword.

"You disgusting piece of crap!" Titaniamon OM shouted, causing BebiMephistomon to shatter. She turned her glowing blade and slashed BebiMephistomon in half.

BebiMephistomon's upper half floated up and disassembled himself into tiny cubes. The lower half of BebiMephistomon jumped up and kicked at Titaniamon OM, who used her sword to counter the leg's rapid kicks.

"Hold on, babe! Keep him busy!" CyberBeelzemon prepared to fire with his boomstick.

Suddenly, BebiMephistomon reformatted behind Titaniamon OM.

"Babe, behind ya!"

"What?!" Titaniamon OM barely turned and saw BebiMephistomon, now complete with a new lower half, preparing to blast her from the rear.

Bam!

At a hair's breadth, Dramon X DBM swooped down and caught BebiMephistomon with a kick to the face.

"And she's safe!" Orcus announced.

"Thank you, Ken!" Titaniamon OM turned and dropped her Oberon Sword, unleashing a Flame Cannon from her blade. She quickly destroyed BebiMephistomon's lower half.

"Ok, it's down to you and me now, freak!" Dramon X DBM dropped a thumbs down to BebiMephistomon.

BebiMephistomon raised his arms, opening distortions in time and space. From these holes, thousands of glass shards sprayed down on Dramon X DBM and his group. They dodged said projectiles; in Titaniamon OM's case, she conjured a golden aura that protected her from BebiMephistomon's attacks.

"I'm through with this shit!" Dramon X DBM snarled, taking several shards into his body. He conjured his Ryuken Star, a giant star-like shuriken imbued with immense power, and tossed it at the dimension demon's projectiles.

Although able to intercept and destroy most of these projectiles, a few managed to get by and pierce Dramon X DBM. One managed to hit Orcus' arm.

"Ow!" Orcus cringed, holding his arm.

"Orcus!"

"I'll be fine, Ken! Just focus!"

(End theme)

Dramon X DBM turned and growled toward BebiMephistomon. "I was hoping to save this for Ace and Gary, but you've pissed me far enough!" With that, he raised his hand. A sword resembling a chainsaw blade formed in his hand. Its uniform color is blue and white.

Orcus gasped upon seeing it. The Star Breaker! He's going to use that now?!

(Cue Devil May 3 OST – Dante's Office 7 Hells Battle)

If one could see through his face helmet, Ken sported a devilish grin holding the devastating instrument.

BebiMephistomon blinked in bewilderment at the chainsaw blade.

"Yeah, this is my sword! There aren't many like it! Hell, this is one of few that I know!" Dramon X DBM raised his Star Breaker and pointed it to BebiMephistomon. "Let this be a message to Ace, Gary, and Burizalor!"

BebiMephistomon snarled and forged a crystallized sword from shards. He made a hasty charge at Dramon X DBM.

"You're going to regret that," Dramon X DBM remarked as he charged head-on. I've got to make this quick! This was always intended to be a finisher and if I don't use it before the last minute of the five minutes, I can't use this thing for another 24 hours! Oh well, time to finish this now!

Their swords clashed.

Slash!

And from their swords clashing, an immense shockwave erupted from their point of origin where their attacks met.

(End theme)

Dexmon stumbled back from Omegamon (tri.), Alphamon, Dorothy, and Avengemon's attacks.

"We need to end this now!" Yamato (tri.) declared. "Omegamon!"

"Yeah, finish this monster!" Taichi (tri.) encouraged.

Dorothy turned to Avengemon. "Ready to put the seal on this?"

"Yes!"

(Cue Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children OST – Those Who Fight (0:00 – 0:50)

As Dexmon recovered, it lunged to attack. Omegamon (tri.) fired an uppercut to Dexmon's jaw. Avengemon followed up with a kick to Dexmon's chest, which cracked open a shell to reveal its core. Dorothy cupped her hands and fired a Tsunami Wave, hitting Dexmon full force with it. Dexmon, however, kept coming and backhanded Dorothy, sending her falling into Avengemon's arms.

"Alphamon!" Omegamon (tri.) called to the dark-armored knight.

Lifting Ouryuken, Alphamon shifted into Alphamon Ouryuken Mode. He gained majestic feathery protrusions from his back.

"Hey, he's shifted into that mode!" Taichi (tri.) blanched at the same mode Alphamon used to fight Omegamon (tri.) to a near standstill.

"Yeah, and Omegamon couldn't even beat him!" Yamato (tri.) added, gazing in awe at Alphamon Ouryuken Mode.

Being a beast, Dexmon was undeterred by Alphamon Ouryuken Mode's presence. The warrior rushed Dexmon.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

In the blink of an eye, Alphamon Ouryuken went through Dexmon and held the core sustaining the monster's life. With a strong tap from Ouryuken, he shattered the core and sealed Dexmon's fate. Dexmon's body quivered violently as its colors dulled. Its body crumbled into digitized sand.

(Theme fades)

Dorothy gasped in awe. "Whoa, he did it!"

"Indeed, he did," Avengemon said.

"Alphamon, thank you," Omegamon (tri.) nodded to the ambiguous knight.

Taichi (tri.) sank to his knees and sighed. "And that's over with."

"No, we still have to avenge our friends. We need to see through those villains pay for killing our friends," Yamato (tri.) gritted, clenching a fist.

"If you want, you can come with us," Dorothy offered.

"You can?" Taichi (tri.) asked her.

"Yeah! Just follow me and Avengemon! We'll take you where my Tai is fighting Burizalor, the Warlord, and the other bad guys!"

Avengemon took to the air with Dorothy. "Can you keep up with us?"

"Are you kidding? Of course!" Grinned Taichi (tri.). "C'mon, Yamato! Let's avenge our friends!"

"Omegamon!" Yamato (tri.) called on their Digimon.

"Alphamon, will you care to join us?" Omegamon (tri.) asked him.

Turning around, Alphamon gave no answer.

Wasting no time, Dorothy and Avengemon flew off. Omegamon (tri.) picked up his partners and followed the duo. Alphamon calmly sauntered forward and watched them leave.

Boom!

(Those Who Fight resumes (1:29 – 2:00))

A series of explosions blanketed the sky above the ruined city. Hundreds of blasts lit up the dark clouds hanging over Odaiba. Behind the veil of clouds a war was being fought.

ChaosBlackWarGreymon came into contact with Max and launched Giga Blasters at him.

"I know for a fact you're not my brother BW! Therefore, I'm not holding back!" Max punched ChaosBlackWarGreymon hard, shattering his claws with a single punch. Max then smashed him with a double axe handle.

xxxxx

ChaosPiedmon threw Trump Swords at Tike and David. The boys closed their eyes and sensed the vibrations in the air. They quickly caught the real swords and tossed them back at ChaosPiedmon.

"Drats!" ChaosPiedmon caught both swords. "You got lucky...!" He blinked as the boys were gone. "Where did you brats go?!"

"Over here!" Tike announced, phasing beneath ChaosPiedmon and hitting him with an uppercut.

"And here!" David chimed in, headbutting ChaosPiedmon's gut, sending him flying away.

"Man that was a piece of cake!" Tike snorted.

"Yeah, but that was fun!" David grinned.

xxxxx

Sam and Kara flew around ChaosMetalSeadramon. The Chaos Lord Digimon pivoted its head and fired Ultimate Stream at the D3 duo.

"Your aim's slow!" Kara shouted, dodging ChaosMetalSeadramon's dark blast.

Sam charged up and fired Tri-Beam, taking out one of ChaosMetalSeadramon's eyes. After losing sight of an eye, ChaosMetalSeadramon wildly moved around and fired stray blasts. Kara and Sam grabbed ChaosMetalSeadramon's two tails, swinging the metal sea serpent around. They tossed him aside, sending him crashing into the ground.

"Nothing's keeping me away from you, unc!" Sam vowed vengeance.

Chaos Lord unleashed full-powered Chaos Cannons at Keke. However, the female Ascendant stopped his dual blasts with her own variation of Metalla X's Big Bang Attack. Her attack overpowered Chaos Lord's and sent him crashing.

"Send all the minions you want, we're still coming for you, Warlord!" Keke cried out.

The D3s reconvened and shot up into a higher altitude to meet Safer Warlord.

"Congrats for beating my Chaos Lords, but I never expected them to beat you, my friends," Safer Warlord smirked evilly. "Now, let us commence the final act of pain!"

(Cue Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children OST – One Winged Angel)

Safer Warlord unleashed a volley of energy blasts toward Max and the D3s. Max flew through Safer Warlord's attacks, punching and kicking away any blast aimed for him. Max lunged right at Safer Warlord and unleashed a flurry of punches. Needless to say, Safer Warlord parried Max's blows and slapped him down using his demonic wing.

"You change your hair blue and it's still not enough to beat me, Max!" Safer Warlord boasted. "Your friends here aren't going to make any difference either!"

"We'll see...!" Before Max could retaliate, Keke and Sam held him back.

"Max, let us have a go," Keke asked. "Look, I know we're not anywhere near as strong like you now, but..."

"Just so you have time to conserve that Super Ascendant God power," Sam said. "You'll be running on fumes if you keep going."

"Don't keep us out of the mix either!" Tike chimed in as David and Kara joined him.

"You guys..." Max faced his friends.

"Hey, if you wanna send your friends to be lambs being led to the slaughter, far be it from me!" The villain added, inviting anyone to attack him. "I'll be happy to save you last, Max."

Sighing, Max nodded. "Fine. It'll sit this out, but please you guys make sure and wear his ass down."

"We'll do more than just that!" Sam nodded.

David gave a thumbs up. "He'll be hurting!"

Keke pulled Max into a kiss, surprising him. "Go rest, babe."

"Oook, y'all got this..." Max grinned as he floated down, catching his breath.

"Ok, guys! Let's wear him down! Use whatever means necessary!" Keke declared, leading the D3s against Safer Warlord.

"Well bring it on, bitches!" Safer Warlord laughed maniacally as the D3s attacked him.

Sam took the first shot and unloaded on his maniacal uncle. Blinded with anger, Sam unleashed a flurry of punches. Safer Warlord dodged and parried Sam's punches. As Safer Warlord tried swatting his nephew away, Sam narrowly dodged.

Taking chance, Sam formed a triangle with his hands and fired off his Tri-Beam. More than ready for Sam's attack, Safer Warlord cast his variation of Wall to neutralize Sam's beam.

"Nice try, dear nephew, but you'll never get one over me!" Safer Warlord boasted, flapping his demonic wing hard and launched Shadow Flare at the party.

The D3s evaded Safer Warlord's attack. As they regrouped, Safer Warlord was gone from plain sight.

"Where the hell did that bitch go?!" Kara griped.

"Who ya calling a bitch?!" The villain interjected above them.

The D3s looked up and saw Safer Warlord flying down hitting them with physical attacks. Safer Warlord swatted Sam down with his wing. Tike, David, and Kara launched simultaneous attacks on the one-winged Fiend.

"Suck this!" Tike fired a Double Tsunami Wave in conjunction with David.

Kara lobbed a Masenko from her palms.

Safer Warlord lifted a hand, deflecting the kids' attacks at them. The twins and David narrowly dodged getting blasted by their own blasts. Safer Warlord swiftly flew up, slapping Tike down with his wing. David lunged at him with a punch, but the Warlord caught the boy's fist and blasted him back. Kara got behind Safer Warlord and grabbed his wing. Safer Warlord flapped his wings, tossing Kara up.

"Bastard!" Keke shouted, landing a flying kick into Safer Warlord's back.

Unfazed by her kick, Safer Warlord turned his head with a smug grin. Keke growled and flew back, forging several pink energy discs. She tossed her Rosemary Discs, hoping one would cut through Safer Warlord.

"Oh, c'mon this is the the best you got, daughter of Yamakins?" Safer Warlord cocked a grin as he evaded the discs. Even as they swerved around to hit him, he still cast a golden construct that neutralized these discs. "Well, so much for tha...?!" He took his eye off Keke, who flew into the air.

"Don't underestimate me!" Keke shouted, firing a volley of Ki blasts at Safer Warlord.

Safer Warlord formed Wall once again to stop Keke's Ki barrage. She kept firing in hopes of shattering his defenses. She kept this up while Safer Warlord kept his defensive barrier up.

"Is that desperation I smell? Heheh, you still sore after I humbled you?!"

"Yeah, and that was the time you triggered Max's Ascendant transformation long time ago?! Did you forget?!"

Gasping, Safer Warlord recalled as this painful reminder filled his mind and replayed constantly. He remembered slapping Keke down, which invoked Max's Ascendant transformation.

Max overheard this and watched his girlfriend throwing Ki blasts at their nemesis.

"Don't expend so much of your energy, Keke!"

Keke kept directing her blasts on Safer Warlord, who was about to retaliate.

"Now you're asking for it, whore...!"

Wham!

Suddenly, a barrage of ghosts impacted Safer Warlord's barrier. The villain turned to see Daike in full Ascendant 3 form.

"Who are you calling names, dickhead?!" Daike waved a finger to the Warlord. "Go Super Ghosts attack!"

Another wave of Super Ghosts flew into and exploded against Safer Warlord's barrier. Safer Warlord augmented his barrier, hoping to protect himself from Daike's ghost barrage.

"Away bug!" Safer Warlord snapped, sending an energy blast at Daike's way.

Daike tried to intercept the blast, but it became a ring and binded around the boy.

With Daike out of the way, Safer Warlord focused on Keke, who was gone from sight. Just then, he sensed Ki energy accumulating into a single concentrated force. He looked up to see Keke with her arms spread out. Her body surged with electricity as her aura waved like flames.

"Let him have it!" Daike called out.

Ah, she's picked that up from her dad! Max looked awestruck at Keke extending her hands forward, pressing both palms together.

Unlike her boastful father, Keke wasted no time and fired off Metalla X's signature Final Blaze. She launched an immense blue wave that headed straight for Safer Warlord.

Gritting, Safer Warlord challenged her attack and meet it with reckless abandon. He pressed his hands against the beam. Keke exerted more Ki and pushed it down on Safer Warlord. The Warlord's face contorted while holding the beam back.

"C'mon, keep him busy a little longer, babe!" Max called out. He felt some Super Ascendant God energy return to him. "Yes, this should be enough to send me back into battle. Hang on, Keke!"

"Aww, too bad!" Safer Warlord cackled as red energies leaked from his body and repelled Keke's beam. "Granted, give yourself credit for getting much stronger, bitch! If I hadn't come back imbued with RedNovaDemon's power and had plentiful time to train, you could've finished me here, but fate has decided that I exact my revenge!"

Witnessing her beam swallowed up by Safer Warlord's, Keke was knocked away. When it looked as if the beam would take her, Max swooped in and saved her at a hair's breadth.

"Max!" Keke folded her arms around him.

"You did great, babe. Y'all kept him occupied long enough so I can tag in," Max said, setting Keke down. "Hey, you've gone way beyond Ascendant and quite frankly stronger than I ever was the last I fought the Warlord."

Keke smiled and blushed. "Thanks, but I couldn't have gotten stronger without you, my brother, and father."

"And when we finish the Warlord, and we will, I can take you further if you want."

"Thanks, Max."

"Awww, isn't this touching? My hated enemy and his slut having a tender moment. Gag, get me a spoon."

Irked by the Warlord's taunts, Max scoffed. "Yeah, so I can shove that through your dick."

Cringing, Safer Warlord grumbled. "Between you and that crotch-kicking asshole, I don't know who I hate more. Shit, I pledge to kill you both when it's said and done."

"Then, go ahead and try," Max smirked as he beckoned Safer Warlord to attack.

Keke, Sam, Daike, and Kara joined next to Max. As Safer Warlord readied for his next attack, the D3s noticed Phoenixmon flying in the distance with Sora.

"Sora?" Max caught the Bearer of Love flying away on Phoenixmon. What the hell are they doing here?! And I know that's OUR Sora!

Barely noticing Sora and Phoenixmon, Safer Warlord had an evil perverted look.

"Ooo, what's this? A stray Chosen Bearer of Love lost on her way? Maybe I should point her to the next dire..."

Bam!

Max shot up and punched Safer Warlord, who barely put up his hand to block the blue-haired Ascendant's fist.

"Final warning, Warlord! Your fight is with me!" Max snarled furiously, clenching his teeth hard.

"Fair enough! I did say I'd kill you and that ball smashing Gundam Man first!" Safer Warlord zipped up carrying Max up with him.

"After them!" Keke shouted as she and the other D3s pursued Max and Safer Warlord.

"Fools! I won't let you spoil me and Max's quality time! Chaos Lords, combine!" Safer Warlord beckoned his minions. Using his Dark Digivice, he combined Chaos Lords into a perfect amalgamation of the four.

The combined being became NeoCrimson, inheriting the feet and cannons of Chaos Lord, ChaosMetalSeadramon's tail, and the two red ribbons of ChaosPiedmon. Most notably he gained ChaosBlackWarGreymon's Dramon Destroyer on the right arm. The legs and Brave Shield became fused on its back. The head is a fusion of ChaosBlackWarGreymon and Chaos Lord.

The artificial lifeform roared and blindly unleashed Blind Attack on the other D3s. They evaded NeoCrimson's attack and ended up being cut off from Max.

"Pfft, so this is the Warlord's last line of defense?" Daike scoffed. "Gimme a break."

"Unc can't keep us away for long!" Sam said.

Keke smirked. "Ok, guys! Let's send this walking toaster to the trash heap!" She powered up along with the others.

(Cue Godzilla: Final Wars OST – Mothra vs. Gigan)

Meanwhile, ModifiedGiganmon brought down KaiserCaesarmon and UltimateAnguirusmon with his Gigas Beams. He turned and used one of his chainsaw arms to cut through FireRodanmon's wings, causing him to fall. FireRodanmon launched a fire breath that caught ModifiedGiganmon. The evil cybernetic Kaijuu went through the intense flames nearly unfazed. ArmorMothramon got the drop on ModifiedGiganmon and fired beams from her antennae. LunaVaranmon unleashed crescent-shaped beams from his chest and hit ModifiedGiganmon with it.

ModifiedGiganmon screeched and launched spikes from his back. ArmorMothramon and LunaVaranmon evaded the incoming spikes. A few spikes got through and blasted ArmorMothramon down. ModifiedGiganmon jumped up and eye beamed LunaVaranmon down.

As ModifiedGiganmon landed, two metal hands poked out of a ruined building. MechaGodzillamon popped out of hiding and grabbed ModifiedGiganmon. Hoisting ModifiedGiganmon overhead, MechaGodzillamon spun and tossed his enemy through a building. ModifiedGiganmon landed in a heap of debris that piled atop of him.

With little to no humans around, the Kaijuu Digimon could fight ModifiedGiganmon without restraint.

As ModifiedGiganmon rose, balls of light shot out of MechaGodzillamon's shoulder cannons and slammed into his foe head-on. ModifiedGiganmon crossed both arms, absorbing enough of MechaGodzillamon's Missile Salvo. Screeching loudly, ModifiedGiganmon extended his double-pronged chainsaws and started sawing through MechaGodzillamon.

MechaGodzillamon roared and jerked the chainsaws off him. The chainsaws damaged MechaGodzillamon's chest. ModifiedGiganmon hastily rushed and fired his Gigas Beams. MechaGodzillamon returned the favor, firing a pillar of white fire. MechaGodzillamon's Nuclear Blast collided with ModifiedGiganmon's beams. The mechanized Kaijuu became locked in a beam struggle, which lasted briefly and ended in a massive explosion that forced a halt to their battle.

The Kaijuu Digimon saw their partners relocate their battle away. As ModifiedGiganmon went to aid his master, MechaGodzillamon cut him off. The other Kaijuu joined MechaGodzillamon as they roared together.

(Cue Powerglove OST – Birth of a Glove (2012 version))

Bizarro Cyrus zipped around, firing blasts toward Angemon X, Mystic Celesta, WarAngemon, and Dai-Valkyrie Sedna. As Angemon X shot up and slashed at Bizarro Cyrus, he dodged the Ascendant's reach and phased out.

"Heheh, gotta be faster than that!" Bizarro Cyrus laughed and taunted Angemon X.

"Man, he's getting so annoying!" WarAngemon growled, becoming irritated by Bizarro Cyrus' taunts.

"Am I annoying you that much? Well, why don't I put an end to your prolonged suffering?" With that, Bizarro Cyrus expelled flames at the party.

"I've got this!" Sedna raised her Ice Trident, forging an ice wall that stopped Bizarro Cyrus' flames. She then summoned Knut the polar bear. "Now, Knut! Use your ice element to cool down these flames!"

Knut heeded the Kuiper's command and unleashed freezing air from his body to put out the flames. Assessing his power, Sedna noted Bizarro Cyrus' powers are magical properties much like hers.

I've got to make sure the others don't get hit! His attacks are high-level magic based, which'll do plenty damage to Dimitri, TK, and Kari! Sedna thought while quieting the flames with her ice.

"You can conjure ice? Well, two can play it that game!" Bizarro Cyrus summoned an ice wind toward WarAngemon and Mystic Celesta.

The Ascendant duo flew away, avoiding the freezing attack from Bizarro Cyrus.

"Each of us attack a section of his body!" Angemon X called out. "I'll take the body! Kari, you go core! Uncle TK, you've got the head!"

Sedna added, targeting the wings. She beckoned Knut, who turned into a icy blue ball of light. She grabbed and infused Knut's spiritual essence, augmenting her powers. Powered by Knut, Sedna swung her Ice Trident and unleashed an giant icicle, which pierced through Bizarro Cyrus' right wing.

Anticipating her attack, Bizarro Cyrus folded his wing to shield to stop Sedna's attack. However, the Ice Senshi didn't stop as she continuously launched Sedna Icicle Spears to break Cyrus' defenses. More icicles hammered against his wing.

WarAngemon zipped right toward Bizarro's Cyrus' giant body. He clenched his fist and struck the giant head with Seraphi Fist. He dealt some damage to Bizarro Cyrus, but not enough to shatter the giant body.

Mystic Celesta fired her Holy Beam and blasted the core. This managed to get Cyrus' attention as he folded his wings over the core.

"No, you don't!" Mystic Celesta shouted as she dove toward the core.

"Kari, wait!" WarAngemon called out to her.

Undeterred by Bizarro Cyrus' size, Mystic Celesta dove head first through Bizarro Cyrus' wings. She sighted the core and readied for another attack, but tendrils poked out from his body and seized Mystic Celesta. Two grabbed her arms. Two more binded her legs. Three wrapped around her waist. Mystic Celesta struggled to break loose.

"I've got you now! Now to drain the essence from your body, Hikari!" Cyrus yelled out boastfully, laughing loudly. "Just think, your own powers will be used to destroy your friends!"

"NO!" Mystic Celesta resisted, but Bizarro Cyrus' hold tightened over her. She felt the very essence of her Mystic power being drained. She attempted to break loose again, but Bizarro Cyrus' hold was too strong.

"KARI!" Angemon X yelled out, turning away from Bizarro Cyrus' real body. He swooped down and sliced apart the appendages, freeing bondage Ascendant.

"Kari, I've got you!" Angemon X carried Mystic Celesta away.

"No, you don't!" Bizarro Cyrus hissed, shooting tendrils out at Angemon X.

WarAngemon quickly intercepted the appendages and blasted them away. He lunged for Bizarro Cyrus' core and punched it.

"Punch all you like, but you'll never break my core! And just because you destroy the core, doesn't mean I'll be beaten!"

"He's right. We've got to take out the sections we were attacking!" Angemon X exclaimed.

Sedna managed to clipped the wings off Bizarro Cyrus. "I've got one! All that's left is the body, core, and Cyrus' real body!"

"Humph, no matter I'm still mobile without my wings and I've acquired plentiful energy from Hikari to finish you!"

Mystic Celesta awoke as she felt slightly weakened after Cyrus drained her.

"Kari! C'mon, let's get you somewhere to rest," WarAngemon suggested.

Nodding, Mystic Celesta furrowed her brows. "No, I've got to keep going..."

"He's right, Kari!" Angemon X tried reasoning with her.

"He has to be stopped!" Mystic Celesta growled as her eyes turned white. Her voice deepened, signaling Homeostasis taking over.

(End theme)

"No, it's that force taking her over!" WarAngemon witnessed the light entity that almost turned Kari into a cold-blooded killer.

Sedna witnessed Mystic Celesta's light enveloping her. "Is that the entity in Kari?"

'Yes, and it's staking hold of her. She may not even be herself anymore. Cyrus has provoked the force instilled in her.' Knut informed the Kuiper.

Bizarro Cyrus floated backward as a Mystic Celesta, enveloped in a translucent white veil, floated up to meet him. The Fiend hastily fired Mystic Celesta's own energy, converting them into his Bizarro Holy Beams. Mystic Celesta crossed her arms, taking the blasts. One blast hit Mystic Celesta so hard it burned her right shoulder.

(Cue Evangelion 2.0 OST – The Beast II)

"Heh, not so tough now?!" Bizarro Cyrus laughed. Then, to his shock, a sadistic grin adorned Mystic Celesta's features. To add to the psychotic look she possessed, her eye colors dulled out essentially became devoid of life. "What's this?!"

Mystic Celesta shot up faster than before and punched Bizarro Cyrus' core. Cyrus' augmented the barrier around his core, but Mystic Celesta's punch shattered the barrier leaving the core unguarded.

"No, get your hands off that!"

Ignoring Cyrus' warning, Mystic Celesta grabbed the core with her hands. Instead of pulling, she tore into the core, ripping out the skin coverings wedged around the core. She tore out skin, causing an overflow of blood to spill out. She drove a hand through and ripped out an appendage. A geyser of blood spewed out and splattered the right side of Mystic Celesta's face.

"STOP! That core makes up the perfect beauty of my body! You're ruining it!"

Mystic Celesta continued to tear the meat around the core. She dug her hands deep, pulling on the core as if it were a wisdom tooth being forcibly removed.

"This is..." Sedna gasped in horror.

"It's the side of Kari I hoped I'd never see again!" WarAngemon cried out. "KARI! SNAP OUT OF IT!"

Angemon X zipped right over to Mystic Celesta and tried pushing her back. "That's enough, Kari! We'll take it from here!"

Pushing Angemon X back, Mystic Celesta quickly yanked out the core and used Homeostasis' light to shatter the crystallized core.

"DAMN YOU!" Bizarro Cyrus screeched, sending tendrils toward Mystic Celesta and Angemon X.

While Angemon X sliced off the tendrils heading his way, Mystic Celesta took the tendrils through her right shoulder. She jerked her shoulder away, letting blood spill from her wounds. Homeostasis' presence dulled out her emotions and the pain she should be enduring. With her emotions repressed, Mystic Celesta shot up and fired a Super Holy Beam right into Bizarro Cyrus' face.

"AUGH!" Cyrus screamed in pain as the white light engulfed him.

Boom!

As Bizarro Cyrus collapsed, Mystic Celesta fell with still lifeless eyes. WarAngemon jumped and caught Mystic Celesta.

"KARI!" WarAngemon shook her hard.

Mystic Celesta stirred in WarAngemon's arms. The white aura that possessed her subsided.

"I think she'll be ok, guys!" The Bearer of Hope said with relief.

"Not with this wound she has," Sedna added, using her ice magic to close up Mystic Celesta's shoulder wound. "I'll close the wound the best I can. The bleeding should stop."

Picking up his sword, Angemon X turned and faced Bizarro Cyrus, who rose looking perturbed.

"Damn that bitch! She will pay!" Bizarro Cyrus cursed the Bearer of Light's name.

"Hey, Cyrus!" Angemon X yelled. "You're the one who brought my father to Burizalor? Well, I take issue with those who meddle with my family for their own heinous reasons. And I also take issue with you looking like my father."

"Oh, you wanna do something about it then?!"

"Yeah, and it's because of you my father ended up with that corrupted other personality! 'Yamato' was partially your creation. Just for that, I'll gladly finish you for my father!" Angemon X declared, brandishing his sword.

As she finished healing Mystic Celesta's wound, Sedna lined next to Angemon X.

"And I also take issue with harming Kari, but don't worry she'll recover," Sedna stated, fiercely glaring down Bizarro Cyrus.

Cackling, Bizarro Cyrus beckoned them to attack. "Then, let's finish this once and for all!"

"Ready, Karin?!"

"Yeah!"

With that, Angemon X and Sedna headed off Bizarro Cyrus.

"Kari, you still have some fight left?" WarAngemon whispered, looking over her.

Mystic Celesta responded, slowly opening her glowing white eyes. She slowly floated from WarAngemon's arms.

"You Fiends shall not succeed!" Mystic Celesta roared in a synchronization of hers and Homeostasis' voices. Her commanding presence distracted Bizarro Cyrus.

"Not this again!" Bizarro Cyrus snarled as Mystic Celesta fired a Holy Beam.

Bizarro Cyrus countered with a condensed beam, stopping Mystic Celesta's blast. WarAngemon shot a beam from his Seraphi Fist. Cyrus stopped that attack with another beam.

As the Bearers of Hope and Light forced Bizarro Cyrus to a standstill, Angemon X and Sedna launched a frontal attack on Bizarro Cyrus.

"Shit!" Bizarro Cyrus cursed. I can't bother with these fools for long! I've got to see to Lord Burizalor!

Taking a chance, Angemon X slashed through Bizarro Cyrus' body, but at that instance Cyrus himself phased out of his Bizarro shell. The Bizarro body dissolved in his place.

(End theme)

"We've got him!" Sedna shouted.

"No, he just gave us the slip!" Angemon X sensed Cyrus' Ki moving far away. "He's on the move somewhere!"

"Uh..." Mystic Celesta moaned as she fell into WarAngemon's arms again.

"Kari!" WarAngemon cried, carrying Mystic Celesta.

"Uncle TK, you tend to Kari! We're going off to find Cyrus!" Angemon X said.

"Yeah, go and find him! We'll be fine here!"

"Let's get moving, Dimitri," Sedna nodded to Angemon X.

xxxxx

As Angemon X and Sedna were on the move, Cyrus hid among rubble. He masked his Ki from Angemon X.

"Fools, I'm not that easily beaten," Cyrus gritted. "Lord Burizalor, I sense your incredible power surging close by! I'm on my way!" He quickly sprinted through the ruined city by foot.

Omega X and Golden Burizalor locked hands performing a test of strength.

"If you know what's good, end this crazy attempt to whatever you're planning! Erasing me and my counterparts from the multiverse is insane!"

"You don't think I'd give up that easily with victory so close at hand?!"

"In any case, you might not have the chance."

"How do you mean?" Burizalor queried.

"That new form you've acquired probably has some kind of limit."

"What makes you think this form has any kind of fatal shortcoming?"

Omega X smirked. "You might not feel it now, but you'll eventually."

Metalla X floated behind Golden Burizalor. "You're too eager for revenge. This scheme to destroy Tai and his multiverse counterparts is full proof of that. That is why you'll fail."

'Way to stick it to that bastard, Matt.' Yamato (DF-616) telepathed.

"Let me take a wild guess, Burizalor. The minute you achieved this new golden form of yours, you bolted straight for our world, didn't you?"

The golden tyrant scowled while struggling to match Omega X's strength. "And so what if I did? Besides, you two simians don't know the full story? Did you forget my two colleagues and I received power from RedNovaDemon? I haven't even shown you the full extent of my new bestowed powers."

"Then, why don't you show us and quit wasting our time?!" Omega X shouted, breaking loose from Burizalor's grip. He threw a punch, which Burizalor barely dodged.

(Cue Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' OST – Goku's Counterattack)

However, Burizalor felt the wind from Omega X's fist cutting through his cheek leaving a fresh wound. Seeing his own blood spilled, Burizalor growled and punched Omega X's face. Omega X spun around, kicking Burizalor's face. The two quickly traded punches and kicks, leading to Omega X kicking Burizalor far back. Burizalor tossed a red disc and sent it hurtling.

The Ascendant zipped all over the vicinity with the homing disc hot on his trail. As he flew around a building, the disc sliced through the side of the building and followed him. Burizalor launched another discs.

Now with two Death Disc coming for him, Omega X picked up the pace and swerved around avoiding the discs. He turned and fired off Ki blasts, wiping the discs out. Irked, Burizalor tossed another barrage of blasts. Omega X sighted the blasts and batted away each blast. He turned and hit one with his elbow, knocking away to the ground.

(End theme)

Burizalor jetted forward and punched Omega X square in the face.

Bam!

(Cue Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' OST – Goku's Anger)

With his fist buried in Omega X's face, Burizalor seemed to get the upper hand. But, to his dismay, Omega X turned his head, giving a fierce and determined glare. Burizalor jerked his hand away and gaped.

"What?!"

Omega X placed his fist near Burizalor's chest.

(End theme)

And with one impactful force...

Bam!

...Omega X's fist smashed Burizalor's abdominal region, sending a ripping force that knocked the spit out of the tyrant.

Omega X immediately followed up with a kick to Burizalor's head, sending him crashing onto the roof of the Fiends' tower. Picking himself off the roof floor, Burizalor looked up and vehemently growled at Omega X.

"Go on. Finish it, Tai," Metalla X said.

Just when Omega X prepared a Terra Beam, Safer Warlord was sent crashing next to Golden Burizalor. Omega X and Metalla X quickly looked up to see Max.

"Hey, sorry for butting in, but special delivery," Max smirked.

"Ah, Max!" Omega X said in elation.

Safer Warlord rose to his feet next to Burizalor.

"Burizalor, this isn't over."

"Indeed, we still have plan B. But, where's Cyrus?"

"Beats me. That fool better not have gotten himself killed!" Safer Warlord growled.

"For his sake, he better not."

"Give up, you two," Max addressed the Fiends. "I don't know where your third conspirator went. Quite frankly I don't care, but you'd do best to surrender now. Whatever multiverse destruction you're attempting to do, we're ending it here."

"No, we haven't even just begun, dear Max!" Safer Warlord shouted.

"Yes, or did you forget? It's what I told Taichi earlier, all three of us have been bestowed with RedNovaDemon's evil crimson light?" Burizalor reminded them. "Coursing through our bodies is the Crimson Devil's divine energy."

"You three should've killed us sooner, because now the kid gloves are coming off!" The Warlord announced, just as he said this a red light enveloped his body.

(Cue Dragon Ball Z OST – Golden Freeza Theme by The Enigma TNG)

Likewise, a similar red aura engulfed Golden Burizalor. The tyrant's body, though mostly his facial features, evolved. When it was said and done, Burizalor's face was covered in a spiked crown and mouth guard akin to Mutalior. His body gained similar features seen on Lifeform-Hojo from Final Fantasy VII. His tail shifted to his forehead, similar to Hojo's head tendril. Behind the face mask, Burizalor's red eyes gleamed with his two black pupils showing.

"Heheh, yes! Thanks to RedNovaDemon's power, I'm able to augment my strength further and found a way to overcome those drawbacks that you kindly mentioned beforehand!"

Metalla X gaped and before even stating the obvious. "...oh, why the hell am I not surprised anymore?"

Omega X dropped into a fighting stance. "So, this is your real final form I take it?"

"Perhaps, but it's the last thing you'll be seeing when I purge you and every Taichi in the known multiverse!" Burizalor boasted. "And to continue the tradition of obvious stage names. Let's call this form, Lifeform Burizalor."

"And this isn't even my final form!" Max mocked Burizalor, fake pompous accent and all. "Just get on with it! This is your pit stop here!"

Grinning behind his mouth guard, Lifeform Burizalor shot up faster than either Omega X and Metalla X could follow. The next thing both Ascendants felt...

Boom!

...was a quick collision that sent both Ascendants flying back.

"Tai! Matt!" Max called, but before he could save them, Safer Warlord quickly cut him off from the pass.

"Thought I wouldn't go without a speed upgrade?!" Safer Warlord swiftly slapped Max back with his wing. He jetted straight for Max and piledrove him through the tower. He planted him through all the levels of the tower until they reached the ground level.

Safer Warlord emerged flying out of the rubble, leaving Max planted headfirst in the ground.

"If I didn't hate you, you'd make a perfect vegetable in my garden," Safer Cyrus joked as he pulled Max out and tossed him through a few pillars. He shot forward and planted a fist into Max's gut.

Doubling over in pain, Max fell hard and crashed through a wall.

"Understand this, Max Kamiya!" Safer Warlord roared, his voice echoing through the halls. "You'll suffer a pain worse than all those times I've spent in hell laboring and being those damned demons' puppet! Granted, I have you and your friends to thank ridding me of those blasted Daemons. With them gone, I can finally settle the score between us. The fate you'll endure will be worse than being locked in hell. You'll simply just cease to exist."

Max spat blood near Safer Warlord. "...and that's how you'll win? You and your colleagues will kill Taichi-Prime to erase me and your enemies for all time? You realize you'll erase yourself? You call that a victory?"

"It's a means to an end, Max Kamiya! I'll resort to anything to get one over you! Even at the cost of my existence as well!"

"I've called you insane... a callous bastard... and someone who's stoop to any low, but this... you've completely lost!"

Safer Warlord shrugged, maintaining a psychotic grin. "And I love it! Nothing makes me gleeful than seeing all those I hate perish!"

"Well, not today... I've beaten you before and I intend to do it again!" Max boldly declared, imbuing his right fist with bluish light.

"You're welcome to try, Max!"

Safer Warlord and Max had the same idea and rushed each other. Max's fist collided with Safer Warlord's wing, igniting an immense shockwave that shook and destroyed the whole tower.

Meanwhile, Lifeform Burizalor clobbered Omega X. Burizalor clubbed Omega X's back, slamming him to the ground.

"I didn't want to have do this soon, but what choice do I have?!" Metalla X yelled as he invoked the Ascendant God power in him. A familiar cyan veil of light enveloped the Bearer of Friendship. This aura thickened like cake layers and immediately broke apart, revealing Metalla X's Super Ascendant God form: blue hair dye and all. The blue hair matched the color of his aura.

"Heh, so blue is the new gold these days, eh?" Burizalor humored Metalla X. "I suppose for however long I was dead, I'm out of touch with the times."

"Don't worry you won't even have time left when you're dead beneath my feet!" Metalla X shot across and attacked Lifeform Burizalor without hesitation.

Burizalor countered Metalla X's punches and kicks. "What's wrong? Not going to preach how your power is greater than mine?!"

"I won't have to!" Metalla X punched Lifeform Burizalor's chest, sending him flying back. He jetted toward the downed Burizalor and unleashed a Ki beam barrage.

Burizalor sprang back to his feet and batted the blasts. He exhibited quick enough reflexes to stop every beam before they even hit him.

"Surely that's not the best you've got?!"

Metalla X forged a Ki ball and tossed it at Burizalor. The golden tyrant flew up faster than Metalla X could see. Burizalor vanished from plain sight and in less than tenth of a second he punched Metalla X, sending him flying.

Omega X instantaneously teleported near Metalla X and caught him.

Lifeform Burizalor chuckled darkly and flew across to meet the Super Ascendant Gods head-on.

Right at that moment, a beam stopped Lifeform Burizalor.

"So, you've arrived," Lifeform Burizalor acknowledged their presence.

Omega X and Metalla X saw Taichi (tri.), Yamato (tri.), and Omegamon (tri.) near them.

"Seems y'all need a hand with this freak? Right, other me?" Taichi(tri.) smiled to Omega X.

"Two Taichis for the price of one, how lucky I am," Burizalor chortled evilly.

"And we'll make sure you don't get your value's worth," Omega X shot back, sporting a condescending grin that annoyed the tyrant.

xxxxx

Not too far off from their location, Sora and Phoenixmon watched on a rooftop.

"There they are, Sora."

"Yeah, but I can't believe there's two Tais and two Matts. This whole multiverse theory stuff makes my head spin," Sora sighed. "But, I don't see Max anywhere. I'm worried."

"I thought Dorothy and Avengemon would rendezvous with us, but they're not present," Phoenixmon noticed the absence of the two.

"They're probably somewhere near. They'll be ok as long as they don't try engaging Burizalor," Sora said, conjuring her Crest Weapon: the Arrows of Love. "The best I can do is distract Burizalor with an arrow to give my Tai an open shot, but..." She stopped as she recalled her death at Burizalor's hands. "But, do I risk my life? Why did I even come here to begin with? Wait, maybe I can tap into the new abilities I've been doing?"

"That may not be the best course of action, Sora. We just need to lay low. Burizalor is not an opponent we can beat."

"I know, but... I still can't forgive what that monster did to me. He's gotta pay."

"What's this I hear about you being killed by my master?"

Suddenly, Sora and Phoenixmon spun around to identify the source. Behind them, Sorbetmon emerged from a dark veil.

The short-stature alien grinned fiendishly. "Don't worry, my dear. You'll have the distinct honor of being executed by yours truly." He put his hand in his cape and pointed a gun blaster at Sora. Cyrus, what's taking you so long?

xxxxx

Cyrus arrived near the vicinity where his two colleagues fended off the Super Ascendant God trio.

"Yes, it's almost time, Lord Burizalor and Warlord," he whispered, taking out a silver ring and placing it on his right index finger. "Open the path to that world. The time has come to eradicate every Taichi in the multiverse."

Dimension: DF-616/Earth/Outskirts of Yumenoshima, Tokyo, Japan (ゆめのしま, ときょ, じゃぱん)/2:05 PM

Having made short work of the remaining Buriza troops, BanchoLeomon, the Bantyo Gang, BW, Pikkan, and Sheila headed straight off the fighting location and into Odaiba.

"I hope that's the last of 'em, boss!" BanchoMamemon addressed BanchoLeomon.

"There might be some leftovers in the city, but yeah that should be it," BanchoLeomon answered plainly.

Pikkan pivoted to BW and frowned. "If you're thinking about Max, don't worry. He can handle himself."

"I know, but being his brother I can't help but show concern. I just hope he can finally put the Warlord away for good."

"Hey, you speak for all of us."

"Not me, I know little about that guy except for his reputation. From what I just saw of him and that Burizalor guy, yeah hopefully we won't see them again."

"Over there!" BanchoLeomon noticed Izzy and Mimi helping Rosemon and HerculesKabuterimon fighting off Shadow Reapers, Xenomorphs, and Buriza troops.

Iron Man and War Machine arrived to assist as they blasted away a couple of Xenomorphs. They noticed Thor gingerly sitting up as he wiped out a Shadow Reaper with Mjolnir.

"Hey, can you fight, big guy?" Iron Man asked him.

"Of course…" Thor gritted, purging a few Shadow Reapers with Mjolnir's lightning. "I fought an enemy that may have been too strong, but that won't deter me!"

Iron Man nodded. "Great to know. Mind helping us clear a path here?"

As a few Shadow Reapers headed toward them, Thor intercepted and blasted the creatures with Mjolnir lightning.

"You were right on point with those leftovers, boss!" BanchoLilimon shouted to BanchoLeomon.

"Shall we proceed and destroy them?" Inquired BanchoGolemon.

As soon as BanchoLeomon witnessed Jacomon and Ryo (DF-616) merge into a single warrior, he turned down the issue to attack.

"That won't be necessary, BanchoGolemon," BanchoLeomon stated. "This one's done."

Mimi, Izzy, and their Digimon partners became baffled upon seeing Jacomon and Ryo (DF-616)'s combine. In place of the Galactic Council officers was a Kamen Rider-esque humanoid in red and black. He had huge green bug-like eyes. The roman numeral 'X' is embellished in black on his chest. From one glance, he closely resembled Kamen Rider Decade.

(Cue Gackt – Journey Through the Decade)

"Decade X, at your service!" The warrior announced.

"Whoa! You've just turned into an Ascendant?!" Mimi blanched at the Tokusatsu-esque warrior.

"Afraid not! You could just call me Decade!" Decade X declared as he dropped into an overly dramatic hero pose. "I've only adopted the X just to make it sound cool!"

"Huh... so you're not an Ascendant yet you both fused?" HerculesKabuterimon aptly pointed out.

"So what? Ever heard of Jogress?" Decade X replied, pivoting over to the remaining enemies. He pointed to them. "Now evil-doers, in the name of righteous justice, you must be punished!"

As the Buriza troops charged, Decade X bum rushed the soldiers. He quickly proceeded to hit them with Rider Kicks and numerous martial art attacks that beat down the evil troops into submission. As a Xenomorph lunged behind him, he pulled out his laser pistol and blasted it into dust.

"How's that for a hero's entrance?" Decade X flashed a thumbs up to the group.

"Behind you!" Rosemon warned Decade X as a Buriza troop raised a gun behind him.

HerculesKabuterimon quickly wiped out the trooper.

"Thanks a bunch, Hercules-whatever-your name is!"

"It's HerculesKabuterimon."

"That, too! You're too kind!"

As Mimi and Izzy watched BanchoLeomon and the others land, they turned their attention to the visuals broadcasting the battle in the DAT-05 dimension.

"Is that...?" BanchoLeomon asked as he noticed Omega X and Metalla X fighting Lifeform Burizalor.

BW painstakingly observed Max fighting Safer Warlord. "Max!"

"You've got this, my friends," Pikkan folded his arms and watched.

"Guys, Sora and Phoenixmon is in there with Tai, Max, and the others!" Mimi revealed.

"What?! Those two?!" BanchoLeomon was taken aback hearing this. "The hell are they doing in that world?!"

"They followed them into a portal taking them into this world. Get this, our Tai and Matt are fighting with some alternate universe counterparts of theirs. Don't believe me? Take a gander at this!" The Bearer of Knowledge pointed them to Taichi (tri.), Yamato (tri.), and Omegamon (tri.) on the screen fighting Lifeform Burizalor.

Pikkan blinked thrice. "Two Tais?"

"And two Matts? Well, this is something else," Sheila added.

"The multiverse is full of limitless possibilities," BW said.

"C'mon, Tai, Matt!" Mimi cheered them on. "Dimitri, Keke, Max! Beat them up good!" She clasped her hands and prayed. Sora, I hope you're ok.

"Uh, guys! Sora's in trouble!" Izzy gaped as the visual showed Sora and Phoenixmon confronted by Sorbetmon.

"Sora!" The Bearer of Sincerity cried out fearfully for her friend.

"If that weren't bad enough, the bad guys are about to open up some kind of portal! Probably to another dimension!" Pikkan shouted.

Decade X gritted. "Well, this isn't good. C'mon, fellow heroes of justice! Avert this crisis!"

Dimension: DAT-05/Odaiba, Tokyo, Japan (お台場、東京、日本)

NeoCrimson went all out launching its entire arsenal on the D3s. From its Blind Attacks, Giga Scissors Claws, and Terra Forces, the D3s were able to deflect every attack. NeoCrimson tried to defend itself with a barrier, but Daike's Super Ghost Suicide Attack bombarded and caused the barrier to rupture, opening NeoCrimson for the other D3s to attack.

Kara blasted a Special Beam Cannon right in NeoCrimson's chest, blowing a big hole through it. Sam unleashed a Tri Beam from the rear, taking out a cannon from its shoulder. NeoCrimson whirled around and fired a beam from his other cannon. Sam crossed his arms, absorbing the blast's impact.

With NeoCrimson distracted, Keke slipped behind the behemoth. She threw a Rosemary Disc, promptly disarming and removing the other cannon.

"Next stop, the junkyard for you!" Daike quickly fired a beam over his head. The said beam became sharp like a blade and cut NeoCrimson in two. "How do ya like a Splitting Headache?!" He then charged up energy in both hands, firing a double energy wave that obliterated the artificial lifeform. "Booyah! The Hero of Justice reigns again!"

(End theme)

Kara clapped. "Yeah, way to go!" She blushed. You had to come up with that one, David! 'Cause my bro ain't a creative genius like you!

"That takes care of that," Sam sighed. "Still, we need to find Max and put an end to my crazy unc."

"That's what I had in mind," Keke nodded. "But, I am concerned for our partners. Let's see to them first."

"But, Max...?" Kara asked.

"He'll be fine, Kara," Daike flashed her a grin and a thumbs up. "Relax, he's probably already running Warlord's ass through the pavement!"

"You have every reason to worry, Kara," Sam said.

Just then, the D3s noticed a portal opening up above the city.

"What's that?!" Kara cried out, pointing toward the portal.

"A dimension portal! But, who opened it? Sedna? Kensuke?" Keke speculated the first names to come to mind.

"Or, my evil unc. Remember he got a device that lets him enter other dimensions. He can freely move in and out of any world he wants! If that's the case...!" Same quickly flew off ahead.

"Wait for us!" Daike called out as he, Keke, and Kara followed him.

Another battle was ultimately set to be decided.

BebiMephistomon and Dramon X DBM went through each other. Dramon X DBM looked over his shoulder and dropped to a knee. He pressed on the slash wound.

"Ken!" Orcus called out. When she tried to reach him, CyberBeelzemon stopped her.

BebiMephistomon turned around cackling evilly. The sight of first blood being drawn put a grin on the demon's face. Then, he made one step.

Slash!

(Cue G-Gundam OST – Strongest Card ~ King of Hearts)

A big gash form over BebiMephistomon. A white line split through BebiMephistomon, causing his outer skin to break apart at the seems. Dramon X DBM slowly rose as his chest wound healed.

"So, it's over," Titaniamon OM muttered.

"All she wrote for this freak," CyberBeelzemon added.

The Star Breaker blade. Sheesh, aren't those three lucky Ken didn't break this out against them. Orcus meticulously eyed the glowing white blade.

Suddenly, BebiMephistomon refused to take his defeat laying down. He lunged right at Dramon X DBM with right hand clenched. Dramon X DBM didn't relent and rushed BebiMephistomon. He unleashed three successive slashes, which trisected BebiMephistomon.

The same slashes cut through a building and split that in two as well.

"Gaugh! This body's breaking down! I can't regenerate it! Curse you!" The parasitic creature screeched from within the demon.

As the attack completely neutralized his regeneration, BebiMephistomon's body burst and shattered. The demon roared his final screams and his body dissolved into dust.

"Call that my SOLSKS," Dramon X DBM mumbled.

"Fine I'll take your body for myself!" Bebimon's essence howled.

Out of desperation, the Bebimon fragment inside the demon flew at Dramon X DBM. However, Dramon X DBM stopped it with an aura. Dramon X DBM's hand burned with white light and grabbed it. He crushed the Bebimon fragment, sealing the parasitic creature's fate.

"Yeah, I don't think so. No vacancy here."

Then, without warning, a small pocket space opened up and pulled the Star Breaker in. "Well, crap I lost track of time. Can't believe I was still using it before that last minute."

(End theme)

"Ken!" Orcus raced over to embrace him, but he fell to his knees and fell into her arms. "Are you hurt?"

"Nah, my body's healing from that last attack..." Dramon X DBM cringed still feeling BebiMephistomon's slash.

"You know that attack not only drains you but takes up time."

"Yeah, I was planning to use it on Ace, Gary, and Burizalor, but oh well..." Dramon X DBM said while Orcus propped him up. "That freak left no choice and I wanted to it quick."

"But, you realize you can't use Star Breaker for another 24 hours?" Titaniamon OM reminded him.

"Yeah, which I why I said it's a bummer I can't use it on those three."

"Question, what does SOLSKS stand for?" Orcus inquired to her boyfriend.

"Shit Out of Luck Sure Kill Strike."

Orcus sweatdropped. "Why did I even need to ask?"

"Creative albeit vulgar name, I should've expected as such," Titaniamon OM shrugged, dismissively nodding.

"Might want to look at this," CyberBeelzemon pointed to a portal opening over the city.

"That's..." Orcus gasped upon seeing the wormhole opening.

"Not sis that's for sure. No doubt the work of Ace or Gary," Dramon X DBM muttered. "We gotta get over there!"

"Wait!" Red called out behind them.

Dramon X DBM and his friends saw Red and his Pokemon heading their way.

"You came just in time," Orcus smiled to the Pokemon trainer.

"Well, the more the merrier," Dramon X DBM nodded, beckoning Red and the Pokemon to follow him. "This way!"

"It's time," Lifeform Burizalor muttered having beaten down Omega X, Metalla X, and Omegamon (tri.). "And I have to make this quick. Warlord!" He called on his partner-in-crime.

Emerging from the tower rubble, Safer Warlord jetted up to meet with Burizalor. Max popped out of the rubble and looked up.

"No, they're getting away!" Max shouted.

Omega X, Metalla X, and Omegamon (tri.) stood as they sighted the two villains preparing to escape.

Safer Warlord used his device to open a dimension portal.

"Are the coordinates set in place?"

"Yeah, we're ready to go."

Burizalor addressed the Ascendants and company. "It's been fun, but we have a Prime world to destroy. So, if any of you are experiencing any flu-like symptoms, it's because you're being erased from existence!"

"We can't let them get away!" Taichi (tri.) exclaimed.

"That does it!" Omega X growled as he jetted up to intercept the Fiends.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - An Antagonistic Battle)

Safer Warlord prepared to cast a barrier to stop him, but Omega X used Instant Movement to teleport out of range. Omega X reappeared behind the Warlord. He reached over to seize the portal device. Lifeform Burizalor swiftly kneed Omega X hard in the back. He then whipped him aside with his head tail.

As Omega X fell, Avengemon flew out of his and Dorothy's hiding spot to catch him.

"Great save, Avengemon!" Dorothy cheered him.

Safer Warlord sighed in relief. "Damn, was that ever close! Thank you, Burizalor."

"Your thanks will be rewarded once we've wiped these fools from existence."

"Yes, but we better hurry! The portal's closing!" Safer Warlord noticed the vortex shrinking. "Come, Burizalor!" With that, he plunged through the portal.

"If you still wish to settle this, then so be it. Just don't be disappointed if we've already killed Taichi-Prime before you find us!" Burizalor laughed as he flew into the portal.

"After them!" Omega X called out as he flew into the vortex.

Metalla X, Taichi (tri.), Yamato (tri.), and Omegamon (tri.) followed Omega X into the portal.

"Tai! Wait for me!" Dorothy shouted as she and Avengemon flew into the wormhole.

Upon seeing the group enter the vortex, Angemon X and Sedna flew as fast as they could to the source.

"They're dimension hopping! Probably to that Taichi-Prime's world they mentioned!" Sedna said as he noticed the portal closing up. "Hang on!" She took out her Henshin Stick and used it to force open the vortex. "Luckily that dimension travelers like me exist! The Warlord and Cyrus are still amateurs at this."

"Let's hurry!" Angemon X shouted. He beelined straight into the portal.

Sedna went head first through the vortex.

"Yes, this is my chance!" Cyrus grinned as he passed through the portal.

As she was backed into a corner, Sora glanced behind her to see the portal still open.

I've got to make it over there! Somehow, someway! The Bearer of Love thought, shifting her view from the portal and painstakingly on Sorbetmon.

"You're not going anywhere, woman," Sorbetmon snickered evilly. "You have no business where they're going. You'll have to get by me."

"We make it out business if our loved ones are in danger!" Phoenixmon hissed, launching fire blasts at Sorbetmon.

Evading the barrage of fire blasts, Sorbetmon tap danced around the flames. He then ran at Sora to grab her, but she instinctively dodged him. She ran by him quickly.

"Hurry, Phoenixmon! Into the portal!" Sora commanded, grabbing a hold of Phoenixmon's left leg.

"You're not getting away with this!" Sorbetmon fired on Phoenixmon. He flew ahead to pursue them.

Tai, Max, we're coming! Sora vowed in thought while she and Phoenixmon plunged straight into the portal.

(End theme)

A blinding flash of light erupted, causing Sora and Phoenixmon to avert their eyes. The next thing they saw...

xxxxx

Dimension: DVT-98/Digital World

...they landed in a valley region covered with mesas and little to no vegetation. Sora and Phoenixmon wondered what world they've ended up falling in. The Fiends' hinted at a 'Prime' world where a 'Taichi-Prime' of sorts exists.

The world they fell into looked almost identical to their universe's Digital World. Phoenixmon could sense the digitized vibe this world exuded. It was an all too familiar but an alien feeling. Sora surveyed the landscape to see it looked nothing out of the ordinary for a Digital World location.

However, this was not a world they were familiar with.

"Is this?" Phoenixmon queried, surveying their new surroundings.

"I don't even know anymore," openly admitted the Bearer of Love.

Before they could get a bearing of their surroundings, they saw explosions erupt ahead of them. Both recognized flashes of blue energies being fired in one direction. Immense shockwaves erupted and shook the entire valley.

"Yep, that has to be them!" Sora called out.

"Yes, and getting right back in the thick of things!" Phoenixmon said. "We have to tread carefully since we're not familiar with this world."

"Whatever this world is... maybe we're in a Digital World?"

Suddenly, beams came shooting from the rear. Phoenixmon dodged the incoming beams and saw Sorbetmon coming for them.

"Seems we've brought an unwanted guest."

"We'll worry about him later. Make haste and get us over to Tai and the others, Phoenixmon!"

"You got it!" Phoenixmon screeched as she soared across, leaving Sorbetmon in the dust.

"Ugh! Wait!" Sorbetmon coughed, waving a hand over his face. "Get back here!" Lord Burizalor, you're over there! I must be a witness to those Ascendants' executions!

xxxxx

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - The Terror of Freeza's Army)

Upon arriving on location, Angemon X and Dai-Valkyrie Sedna saw Omega X, Max, Omegamon (tri.), and an UlforceVeedramon of unknown origin. Metalla X kept Taichi (tri.) and Yamato (tri.) from getting in the mix.

"Father!" Angemon X called over to Metalla X. Then, he briefly paused and did a double take when he saw a younger Tai, looking like his 11-year-old self and wearing a yellow cape. "Another Tai?! Sheesh, just how many of them are there in the multiverse?"

Sedna answered seriously. "A lot, just like there's a bunch of mes and Ryos. But, that's Taichi Yagami of Dimension DVT-98. You're looking at the progenitor of all the gogglehead-wearing Taichis. If he ceases to exist, then our Tai, the Taichi we just met, and every other Tai will be retroactively erased. But..."

"It gets worse."

"Every dimension with Tai, including every version of his friends, will cease to exist. You, Keke, Tike, and the others will disappear, too. That's why it's crucial we must protect that Taichi!" Sedna declared as she and Angemon X headed straight for Taichi (DVT).

"C'mon, Zeromaru! Stay on him!" Taichi (DVT) cheered UlforceVeedramon on. He turned to see Sedna reach for him. "Hey, what are...?!"

Sedna grabbed Taichi (DVT)'s arm. "Your life's in danger! If you die, then we'll all die!"

"That golden freak that attacked me and Zeromaru seemed dead set on killing us both! He and that one-winged guy said I'm Taichi-Prime or something!"

"Yes, those two are villains from another world!" Angemon X informed him. "We're here to stop them!"

"Stay with us if you want to live!" Sedna said, holding Taichi (DVT)'s hand. As she got a good look at him, she was hit with a remainder of her childhood memories hanging with her Tai and Sora. God, you remind me so much of my Tai.

Having noticed Taichi (DVT) being led away by Sedna and Angemon X, Burizalor seethed mad and fired an energy blast that cut them off.

"Attempting to flee like thieves?! You can't escape!" Burizalor hissed. "I'll be serving Taichi-Prime's public execution!"

"Hey, Burizalor!" Omega X shot up and decked Lifeform Burizalor's face, breaking open half of his mask and mouthpiece.

"BASTARD!" Burizalor screamed furiously. He punched Omega X, sending him flying into Omegamon (tri.).

Safer Warlord brandished a long sword and slashed at Max. Max parried the sword with one hand and snapped it in two. He then jump kicked Safer Warlord's face, nearly knocking his head off. Safer Warlord spun around and elbowed Max's head, sending him crashing to the ground.

"Max!" Angemon X yelled out as he flew over to tend to him.

"Dimitri, wait!" Sedna called out, running after him with Taichi (DVT).

While Angemon X, Sedna, and Taichi (DVT) checked over Max, Cyrus watched them behind some rocks. He masked his overall presence so none could sense him.

Oh great, those two followed me here. No matter, patience. Wait until they all drop their guards. The cerebral villain patiently waited to hit his mark. He firmly set his sights on Taichi (DVT) and Max. Two birds with one stone, though granted I'm stealing the Warlord's glory kill with Max, but oh well... can't win 'em all!

UlforceVeedramon raised clenched fists, ready to go another round with Lifeform Burizalor and Safer Warlord. The Fiends couldn't help but exchange evil chuckles.

(End theme)

"C'mon! I'm raring to go for more!"

Burizalor chortled. "Are you? Eve though you're completely outclassed by us?"

Safer Warlord forcefully laughed. "And he dares to make sport of us? And I always thought most Ascendants were delusional fight fanatics. This guy ain't even one, but he sure thinks like one!"

UlforceVeedramon beckoned them with a wave. "Hey, are you two chickens or what?!"

The golden tyrant grinned at this gesture. "You dare insult me in such an undignified manner? I'll make you eat those words!"

"Let them have it, Zeromaru!" Taichi (DVT) cheered on his partner, unveiling a Digivice strapped to his left arm.

Angemon X blinked at this. "That's a Digivice!"

"Not just that," Taichi (DVT) pressed a button on his Digivice that analyzed UlforceVeedramon's energy levels. "Zeromaru's data energy has taken a bit of a hit, but he's still able to go. Though, I can't get a clear reading on those other two."

"Strong as your partner might be, but I don't think he can take them alone," Sedna said.

"Not quite, lady!" Taichi (DVT) smirked. "Zeromaru hasn't even gone into his highest form! Hey, Zeromaru, show them your Super Evolution form!"

"Super...?" Sedna blinked.

"Evolution...?" Angemon X asked in confusion.

"Yeah, see evolution forms are classified just a weed tad differently here," Max explained. "If I recall, Megas are called Ultimates here. Anything beyond that are classified as Super Ultimates. Only few have ever reached that stage in this dimension." He turned and pointed to UlforceVeedramon. "And he's one of them."

"Yep, and let me prove it! Go, Zeromaru!" Taichi (DVT) called out as his Digivice and Digimental activated.

(Cue Digimon: Digital Monsters Theme by Paul Gordon)

UlforceVeedramon's body surged with renewed energy. As strong energies coursed through him, UlforceVeedramon's body transformed.

Taichi (tri.) watched awestruck. "Man, Prime-me can make his Digimon evolve even further?!"

"And he didn't even need to fuse two Digimon partners to do it!" Yamato (tri.) exclaimed.

Metalla X observed, scoffing at Taichi (DVT)'s boastful demeanor. "Now I see where Tai's eagerness and die hard personality came from. Backgrounds, personalities, and powers all contrast, but one trait just seems to carry over throughout the multiverse."

Yamato (DF-616) remarked in Metalla X's mind. 'Their repugnant courageous spirits.'

"Yeah, but it's what makes them them."

Suddenly, Dorothy and Avengemon arrived on location where they witnessed three Taichis.

"Whoa, a third Tai?!" Dorothy gaped in shock.

"Look! Someone's about to fight Burizalor and the Warlord!" Avengemon pointed to UlforceVeedramon, who just completed his transformation.

"UlforceVeedramon Future Mode!" Taichi (DVT) flashed a thumbs up. "Let's take them down!"

UlforceVeedramon Future Mode raised his right arm. A long green saber produced from his V-Bracelet. He brandished the saber and pointed it at the two Fiends.

"Do your worst!" Safer Warlord goaded him to attack.

"Hold on!" Omega X interjected.

Joining UlforceVeedramon FM were Omega X and Omegamon (tri.).

"I don't think you alone will be enough, why don't we give you a hand?" Omegamon (tri.) offered.

"Thanks."

Lifeform Burizalor gritted. "You have no hopes of beating us! Warlord!"

Burizalor and Safer Warlord put their hands together as they formed massive black ball. They compressed the growing black sphere made of destructive energies and catapulted it at the trio. Omega X, Omegamon (tri.), and UlforceVeedramon met the incoming Super Death Ball hurtling at them.

"All together!" Omega X cupped his hands together.

Omegamon (tri.) unleashed both Supreme Cannon and Transcendent Sword. UlforceVeedramon fired off Shining V Force. Finally, Omega X launched his Super Tsunami Wave.

The three attacks simultaneously combined into one white ball and collided with the Fiends' attack.

"Hey, don't forget me!" Max fired his own Super Tsunami Wave toward the white ball, which absorbed his blast.

Upon receiving a boost from Max's power, the white ball swallowed the dark sphere and headed straight for the Fiends. Both villains screamed in horror as the white sphere enveloped them in a veil of light.

Boom!

An explosive erupted and shook the whole vicinity. Everyone watched with great anticipation. Sora and Phoenixmon barely arrived to see the heroes beat Burizalor and Safer Warlord. The fiendish duo fell to the ground both covered with scrapes to their once pristine bodies.

(End theme)

Damn it! This can't be! Cyrus gaped in shock. No, I can't let an opportunity like this slip now!

Sorbetmon, too, dropped in and slipped behind rocks.

"No, Lord Burizalor! This can't be the end!" Sorbetmon thought out loud.

Lifeform Burizalor descended with his helmet and mask damaged. Safer Warlord floated down next to Burizalor with his one wing torn off.

"Th-They did it!" Dorothy cheered.

Sora panted hard, sneaking a smile. "I...It's really over?"

Safer Warlord seethed hard upon realizing their defeat. "No... this can't be... it can't end like this for us!" He turned to Burizalor. "Looks like Cyrus wussed out and abandoned us! Or he's dead!"

"No, this wasn't supposed to happen... we thought we covered all our bases!" Burizalor scowled, gripping a handful of dirt from the ground. He punched the ground a few times. Then, he stood and seethed at Omega X.

"Burizalor, it's time to accept defeat," Omega X told him.

Scowling, Burizalor cursed profanities. His once calm and polite demeanor once again replaced with anger and frustration, causing him to go on a loud tirade.

"Damn YOU! Why?! WHY?!" Burizalor screamed loudly, sending a shockwave that ripped through the ground and wiped out a bunch of rock formations in his path. "This shouldn't be happening! I am LORD BURIZALOR!"

Everyone but Omega X covered their ears (or ear holes, whoever they are).

"Sheesh, never mind me screaming a tirade," Safer Warlord sardonically muttered, hearing ringing in his ears.

Metalla X scoffed at the tyrant and his partner-in-crime. "What did you expect? You returned thinking you'd have all your eggs in one basket. Clearly you didn't think ahead with your attempt to eliminate this dimension's Taichi. Also helps we have dimension hoppers that can take us to any world we want." He eyed Sedna, who frowned at the Fiends.

"We've been doing the dimension hopping game longer than you have," Omega X said as he powered down. His blue hair turned back to brown and he split from Agumon.

Max powered down to his basic state. "I don't know where your third cohort went, but we'll find him. As for you two, you're coming with us."

"Yeah, he gave us the slip and we were chasing him. Then, we happened to find you guys going into that portal," Angemon X said.

"Well, we've apprehended two out of three," Tai (DF-616) nodded. He turned to Taichi (DVT). "Hey, nice work there, kid!"

Taichi (DVT) gaped, pointing to himself and gawking at Tai (DF-616). "Man, you really do look like me!" He turned and faced Taichi (tri.). "You, too! Man, I might be looking at myself in a few years!"

Tai (DF-616) and Taichi (tri.) chuckled together as their Prime progenitor eagerly tried striking a chat with them.

(Cue Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' OST – The Sneaky Freeza (3:13 – 3:46))

Suddenly, Burizalor looked the other way. He sighted Sorbetmon and Cyrus hiding.

"Warlord, look."

Safer Warlord turned around seeing Sorbetmon and Cyrus. A wicked grin adorned his features. "Ah, seems our insurance policy came through for us."

Burizalor concealed a snicker behind an evil smirk.

Sorbetmon blinked in confusion. "Ah, but... I don't have..." He remembered and heard a shot fired.

(End theme)

Bam. Bam.

Like the sound of a silencer, two beams tore through both Tai (DF-616) and Max.

There was immediate silence following the two Ascendants being shot.

(Cue Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection 'F' OST – Freeza's Madness)

As they hit the ground, everyone, sans the bad guys, panicked and surveyed their surroundings. They sighted Cyrus pop out wearing Sorbetmon's ring. Smoke leaked from the ring indicating the shot was fired from this source.

"TAI! MAX!" Sora, Agumon, Sedna, Angemon X, and Dorothy screamed in unison.

"What?!" Taichi (DVT) was taken aback.

"Over there!" Yamato (tri.) pointed toward Cyrus' direction.

"Get him!" Taichi (tri.) stormed toward Cyrus.

Burizalor sprang up and unleashed a wave of energy that tore through the ground, splitting everyone else from the Taichis and Max. Safer Warlord nabbed Taichi (tri.) and slammed him down next to Tai (DF-616).

UlforceVeedramon FM headed down to stop the Fiends, but Burizalor ensnared Taichi (DVT)'s neck with his tail.

"Stop or I'll snap this one's neck!" Burizalor demanded, tightening a vice grip around Taichi (DVT)'s neckline.

Taichi (DVT) struggled to speak. "...Zeromaru...! Stand down!"

Finding himself at the Fiends' mercy, UlforceVeedramon FM withdrew knowing his partner's life hanged into balance. One move and Burizalor's tail would snap the boy's neck like a twig.

"So, you went against orders and used Sorbetmon's instrument, Cyrus?" Burizalor asked his subordinate.

"Yes, I regretfully did so, but it was for an evil cause."

Sorbetmon bowed. "I'm sorry, Lord Burizalor. I let him borrow..."

Chortling, Burizalor dropped Taichi (DVT). "Doesn't matter. It went down as I wanted it to. Excellent marksmanship, Cyrus."

"Thank you, Lord Burizalor!"

Tai (DF-616) and Max both looked up at their nemesis.

Safer Warlord shot an evil grin over Max. "Don't you just love when contingencies fall into place, old friend?"

Burizalor kicked dirt in Tai (DF-616)'s faces. "As if I'd allow the chances of me losing to you again, Taichi. Those wounds aren't looking good on you, gentlemen. Don't worry we shall suffer you no more!" He looked down on Taichi (DVT).

With tears, Sora called out to Tai (DF-616) and Max. "NO! TAI! MAX!"

"Sora, what are you even doing here?!" Metalla X admonished her.

Sedna knelt close to Sora. "This is too dangerous for you here!"

"Tai!" Agumon called for his partner.

Taichi (tri.) and Yamato (tri.) noticed Sora crying and calling out for her loved ones. Images of their Sora formed in their thoughts, constantly reminded of her and their other slain friends.

"It's Sora... but not our Sora..." Taichi (tri.) hung his head and dropped his hand. He felt Yamato (tri.) patting his shoulder. He shot an intense glare at the golden tyrant. "Because he and his bastard cronies took them from us!"

Cyrus hurried over to gloat over their defeated foes.

"Is it time, Lord Burizalor?" Cyrus asked him.

"Yes, but let me first hear this runt's screams," Burizalor chortled, lowering a foot over Taichi (DVT). "Looking at you, you're a constant reminder of what Taichi looked when we first met. How fitting I kill you looking like the Taichi of youth."

"STOP IT!" Sora pleaded.

"YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH, WOMAN!" Burizalor snapped. "I remember I killed you!"

"Shucks, I never got the chance to," Safer Warlord smirked. "Maybe you'd let me kill her for ya, Burizalor?"

"Perhaps."

"But, first I gotta rape her before I kill her. Cause that's how I roll!"

(End theme)

Sora spat near Burizalor and Safer Warlord. In response to Sora's disrespect to them, Burizalor and Safer Warlord booted Tai (DF-616) and Max back.

"Y'know what? Screw that noise. Just kill Taichi-Prime so we can get this over with!" Safer Warlord forgo violating the Bearer of Love.

"Good," Burizalor smirked.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Inescapable Fear)

The golden tyrant turned his sights to Tai (DF-616). "You're too strong for your own good, it's made you a tad overconfident. You have a bad habit of giving people second chances, but habitually lowering your guard. When powered up, you're one of the strongest mortals in the Digiverse. Yet in this state you allowed yourself to be felled by a common raygun."

Metalla X, Angemon X, Sedna, UlforceVeedramon, Omegamon, Phoenixmon, and Dorothy & Avengemon held their ground being the last fighters available to stop the Fiends. However, they knew one slight move and they'd be erased.

Pressing his foot over Taichi (DVT)'s back, Golden Burizalor cackled triumphantly. Driven blind and mad with revenge has brought him to this point. He licked his lips, savoring every single breath being forced out of the Taichi-Prime's body. This was the single moment he had been longing for: eliminating the prime source to rid the multiverse of his nemesis and every one of his counterparts.

Tai (DF-616) and Max were laying in a heap brought down by Cyrus' sneak attack.

"Now the moment of truth! The total purging of my nemesis and every single one of his counterparts' worlds! May the multiverse become a quieter place!" Burizalor boasted, preparing to crush Taichi (DVT)'s head like a melon. He heard Taichi (DTV)'s agonizing cries. "Feel that? That's the whole multiverse watching with bated breath as they watch the shocking climax in my theater of revenge!" He laughed triumphantly with victory all but ensured not caring a single bit if even his existence was erased, too.

Everyone watched in horror helpless to do anything.

Burizalor pointed a glowing finger, aiming for Taichi (DTV)'s face. "Now comes the curtains!"

(End theme)

Just then, Safer Warlord, Cyrus and Sorbetmon became stricken with distress as two unexpected guests appeared. Befuddled by their distressed looks, Burizalor turned. His face contorted with apprehension.

"It can't be..." Metalla X gaped upon seeing their arrival.

"No way," gasped Sedna.

Taichi (tri.) and Yamato (tri.) were at a loss for words.

Tai (DF-616) raised his head as Agumon picked him up. "Wow... didn't think you two would show."

"So, you came..." Max struggled to speak while Sora picked him up.

"You...!" Burizalor managed to get out, coming to realization who he addressed.

Beerusmon and Whismon appeared before them.

"Greetings, Burizalor. Long time no see," Beerusmon addressed the tyrant with a fiendish smirk.

A/N: Uh oh, what a pickle our heroes are in, but what's this? Beerusmon and Whismon make the save!

Well, it shouldn't be any surprise the 'Prime' world is the V-Tamers dimension. I hope I got Taichi and Zeromaru's personalities down. Been a while since I skimmed through that manga (more like years). Will the other V-Tamers show? Well, there's one chapter left, maybe. Granted, I intended just to focus on Taichi and Zeromaru.

Golden Burizalor gains an additional form (however long that lasted): Lifeform mode. According to Ford: He then has elements of Lifeform-Hojo N from FF7 such as the mask helmet (also similar to Mutalior's final form) and his tail is move to his forehead similar to Hojo's head tendril. The head tendril reminds D-Reaper, while slight body changes remind of Virus (alongside the ultimate lifeform title). Burizalor combines the traits of himself and the two main Kai villains.

As for the weapon Ken/Dramon X used to defeat BebiMephistomon: The Star Breaker was a weapon from Kensuke's previous life and forged as the Inuit Kingdom's sacred sword. Akin to the Light Hawk Wing (according to Chaosblazer), it's capable of cutting through anything no matter the durability. But, it comes with a limitation under normal conditions. If used past the last minute of the five minute limit, it will be automatically recalled into a pocket dimension for 24 hours. So, consider the other bad guys lucky. Besides Ken, the only ones who can use it are Kuipers and anyone else they can 'anoint' to utilize the sword (Tai and Dimitri are the only outsiders given privilege to use it). There's more, but I'd rather leave it at that.

I'll leave Ken's finishing attack at this: SOLSKS. Thoughts on the name? He sure loves his creative attack names.

And how about Decade X (aka the Kamen Rider Decade expy)? Jacomon and Ryo (DF-616)'s fusion. Yes, just a regular fusion. Decade X is not a true Ascendant, but that still won't stop him going all hero. Still, between Zordiark X and Decade X, we have two Kamen Rider-esque heroes in this series. I'm sure Ford's pleased since they're his creations.

Alphamon proves he's a boss taking out Dexmon. Although that was just a mere clone of the original Dexmon/Hildegarn hybrid. Gotta wonder he'd fare against the real Dexmon (especially the one I originally intended for my Wrath of the Dragon adaptation fic, which I scrapped). Probably would fare fine until he needs Omega X or some other Ascendant to bring the beast down.

The only new additional scenes are the Marvel guest appearances, Sora dodging Sorbetmon's attack, correcting a few grammatical errors, and adding new bits of dialogue (including Golden Burizalor's victory speech before he prepares to off V-Tamers Taichi). This chapter was already getting long on the tooth, even after removing the YYGDM-01 scenes that were originally in the movie fic edition of this chapter. There wasn't a need to extend anymore scenes.

Yes, I kept the Pokemon battle. It already makes a smooth scene transition when Kensuke sees Red free the brainwashed Pokemon and gives him props. Most importantly, it's the first Pokemon battle scene I've ever written. And Red's already there fighting with the DFK cast in the same dimension. So that shouldn't detract from the story.

Well, this was another lengthy chapter and one full of battles (and some twists). It all comes to a head next time.

One chapter left for this arc! Until then, send a review and see you again!
