Enjoy.

Shinjuku, Tokyo (新宿区, 東京)/11:25 PM
"Well, what are you waiting for?!" Omega X demanded, preparing to make his move to stop Black Omega X.
"I can ask the same from you," Black Omega X aptly pointed out.
"Stop hiding whatever you're holding back. I know you've got bundles of power you haven't shown."
The Black Ascendant smirked darkly. "There's no need to rush. I've got plenty of time to show."
Max interjected. "Nah, c'mon show the rest of the class!"
"C'mon, guys. Don't keep enticing the bad guy," Shu tried reasoning with them.
"It can't be any worse than the other day," Kirito (Corner) said.
"Well fine. I'll have to go Super Blue then," Omega X said a he clenched his fists and delved into the divine energies flowing through him. Having invoked his full power, he powered up into his Super Ascendant God state.
"He's really going all out!" Kaimodosu X exclaimed.
"Good," Sora nodded approvingly. "He can finish that fake Tai now."
"I hope so," Keke muttered.
"Like how can the Black Omega X beat Super Ascendant Blue?" Mimi said, wondering about the outcome.
"He can't," a voice belonging to Madoka interjected as the group turned to see the pink-haired Puella magical girl arrive.
"Madoka. Fancy seeing you here," Gai commented.
"I couldn't afford to sit back and not do anything," Madoka added, painstakingly watching Omega X face off with the Black Ascendant.
"C'mon, Tai! You've got him!" Celesta X cheered him on.
"Well, what's keeping you?!" Omega X berated him.
"Screw this!" Metalla X scowled as he, too, powered up to Super Ascendant Blue.
"Ever heard of patience? Fine if you insist. As a reward, I'll show you animals how far I've come," Black Omega X evilly smiled, ready to crush Omega X's friends' hopes.
(Cue Devil May Cry 3 - Doppelganger Theme)
Then, Black Omega X yelled and powered up to a form similar to Super Ascendant Blue, except his hair color changed to pinkish hue. Even the thick aura surrounding him, which gave off a loud wisping sound, became pink coupled with a light purple aura layered over it. His battle suit even slightly altered to look like Omegamon Alter-B's dark body armor.
"Wait, what?! A pink aura?!" Metalla X exclaimed in shock.
"He's changed into a new form?!" Sora shouted in disbelief.
"Oh boy, a new color swap," remarked Gai.
"He has a pink aura just like your hair color, Madoka!" WarAngemon cried out.
"And like my old hair color," Mimi remarked about her crazy preteen hairstyle days.
"This isn't Super Blue," Max noticed as this new Ascendant form was new to him. "What kind of form is this?"
"Whatever it is, it's made him as strong as my brother!" Celesta X cried out.
"Repent, mortals! For this is the pinnacle of my pure and divine power!" Black Omega X boasted as the dark pink aura bathed over him. To further emphasize his new Ascendant transformation, his accent changed making him slightly more aristocratic. He grinned evilly, clenching his right hand tight. "What do you think of this color? Is it not beautiful? In keeping the consistency of naming your energy levels, I call this one Super Ascendant Rosé."
"Super Ascendant… Rosé?" Max blinked.
Omega X pointed to Black Omega X. "Geez, I never thought I'd see myself talking so high and mighty with a faux-British accent and wearing such a girly color."
Celesta X cleared her throat. "Um, hello, I wield pink light, Tai."
Black Omega X grinned at Celesta X. "Not to worry, Hikari. I've made certain my Rosé light is being wielded in the hands of a true divine being. Once I kill you, I'll absorb Homeostasis into my light."
"I don't know how you achieved this Super Rosé power, but we can't let you continue to augment its power!" Max openly declared.
"You're more than welcome to stop me. But, for now I shall give you all your due punishment, mortals! Let's make this battle a true spectacle!" Black Omega X hovered upward and gazed down on his opposition. "I've not only mastered Taichi's powers, but I've made them my own! Rejoice, Taichi! Only through me can you only reach the pinnacle of beauty you've sought for very long!"
"Look, can you just shut up so we can get to the fight?" Omega X rolled his eyes.
"Spoken like a true feeble-minded mortal. Your kind fails to comprehend the grandeur of my success and glory of my cause! The vast beauty of my power overwhelms you! For I am true divinity!"
Mimi muttered. "And I thought Yamakins loved running his mouth."
Madoka frowned. "I don't like this. He was able to get a divine aura this quickly?"
"Spare me this drivel! The more I look at his face, the more I'm reminded of Tai's stupid face!" Metalla X shouted as he rocketed upward to meet Black Omega X.
"How amusing, Yamato. You want to have a go at me, but I'm not interested in you. You're just the opening act. Now get off my stage!" The Black Ascendant beckoned Metalla X away.
"Like hell I'm the opening act!" Metalla X went straight for the Black Ascendant.
Black Omega X quickly traded and parried Metalla X's punches. Omega X, Max & Gojiramon, Celesta X, Keke & Mosuramon, Sora & Phoenixmon, Rosemon, Kaimodosu X, Shu, Gai, and Kirito & Asuna (Corner) lend support against the Black Ascendant. WarAngemon stayed behind to guard Mimi and Madoka.
Metalla X went for a straight punch. Black Omega X dodged and caught Metalla X's fist. Metalla X chortled and fired a beam straight into the Black Ascendant's gut. This blast shot Black Omega X into a building.
Black Omega X shot out of the rubble. Omega X and Celesta X quickly cut him off and attacked him together. Black Omega X dodged Omega X's punches and parried Celesta X's kicks.
"Tai!" Celesta X called out.
Omega X flew toward Black Omega X. Black Omega X prepared to blast him, but Omega X vanished with Instant Movement. Celesta X phased in place of her brother and side kicked Black Omega X's face. Black Omega X barely tilted his head and blasted Celesta X away. WarAngemon flew up and caught Celesta X.
"I've got you, Kari!" WarAngemon said.
"Nice try," Black Omega X smirked only for Omega X to teleport behind him. "What?!"
"You're mine!" Omega X went for a spinning kick, but Black Omega X grinned evilly and faked him out with an Instant Movement of his own. "Crap!"
Black Omega X reappeared in front Omega X and blasted him in the gut. After getting blasted, the Ascendant crashed into the ground.
"Bastard!" Max yelled out at Black Omega X. He hastily rocketed toward the Black Ascendant and went for a punch.
Black Omega X casually caught Max's fist and pushed him back. As Mas powered up to Super Blue, he unleashed a flurry of punches on Black Omega X. The Black Ascendant parried Max's punches. Godzillamon charged and attempted to grab Black Omega X. The Black Ascendant evaded Godzillamon and unleashed a black sphere, which slammed hard into the Kaijuu Digimon.
"Godzillamon!" Max shouted, but as he tried to save him, Black Omega X kicked Max away.
Keke and Mosuramon tried their luck. Black Omega X quickly took down Mosuramon. Keke tossed her Rosemary Discs at the Black Ascendant's way, but the Black Ascendant neutralized her discs with two beams. He quickly flew up and kneed Keke hard in the face. He then clubbed Keke and kicked her next to Mosuramon.
Shu, Gai and Kirito & Asuna (Corner) quickly headed off and launched coordinated attacks on Black Omega X. The Black Ascendant dodged Shu and Gai's attacks. Shu used his Singer's Sword on Black Omega X, who stopped the sword with one hand. He kicked Shu away and threw the Singer's Sword aside. He turned as Gai slashed him with his Dancer's Sword. Black Omega X formed a pink energy blade in his right hand and knocked Gai's weapon away. He grabbed and kicked Gai back.
"Come get you some!" Kirito (Corner) boasted as he caught Black Omega X with a double sword slash to the back.
Black Omega X took Kirito (Corner)'s attack with no damage. He gave Kirito (Corner) an irked glare and punched him back. He then disarmed Kirito (Corner)'s swords and kicked him away. Asuna (Corner) jumped up to catch Kirito (Corner).
"Is that all?! You're not even a challenge, wannabe Black Swordsman!" Black Omega X popped his right hand. Suddenly, a pink beam hurtled his way. He felt the attack approach and swerve to the side. He saw Miranda in her powered up state.
"Hey, stop messing with my new friends, or deal with me!" Miranda yelled out at the Black Ascendant.
Shaking his head, Black Omega X grinned. "Oh, this is rich. Well, come forth if you think you have a chance."
Miranda rocketed toward Black Omega X and went for a tail whip. The Black Ascendant phased out and reappeared behind her. Imbuing purple energy into his right hand, Black Omega X forged an energy blade and used it to cut her with. However, Miranda caught him with an energy beam to his gut and blasted him far back.
"I'm not even supposed to be out and about like this! I'm under house arrest!" Miranda shouted as she hastily flew at Black Omega X and unloaded a flurry of kicks, which he read her movements like a book by tilting his head and body around. "So, I'm going to make this quick!"
"My, your strength is nothing to scoff at. Give me your worst!" Black Omega X goaded her to strike him down.
Miranda quickly formed an energy ball made of destructive power and tossed it at Black Omega X. Black Omega X collided head first into her Detonation Ball and unleashed a succession of hand blade strikes, which made the ball explode. The explosion caused buildings in the encompassing area to shake and foundations to crumble.
As debris started to rain down from some buildings, Izzy and Yolei arrived with their Digimon.
"HerculesKabuterimon, let's make sure and stop the debris don't fall on civilians!" Izzy ordered.
"I'm on it, Izzy!"
"So, we're the clean up crew?" Yolei nodded. "You hear that, Aquilamon?"
"Loud and clear!"
As debris fell on a crowd of civilians, Zordiark X dove in and caught the rain of debris from crushing the people.
"Nice catch, Ken!" Yolei called out.
HerculesKabuterimon and Aquilamon aided with the efforts by blasted away debris and carrying civilians away from the fight.
Miranda quickly launched herself at Black Omega X and narrowly missed a punch. Black Omega X tossed an energy beam, which she stopped and nullified with a barrier. As he prepared to cut her barrier with his hand blade, Kaimodosu X kicked Black Omega X's back. As Black Omega X crashed into the ground, Kaimodosu X and Miranda combined energy beams and fired a simultaneously at the Black Ascendant. Black Omega X directly stopped the beams with a Ki barrier.
"Tai! Max!" Sora cried as she tended to Omega X and Max.
As he powered up, Black Omega X nullified Kaimodosu X and Miranda's attacks. He quickly phased out and reappeared in front of the two. Kaimodosu X prepared to defend herself, but Black Omega X slashed her with quick strikes and blasted her down. Miranda attempted to tap into the Gamma power she had, but Black Omega X blasted her away.
Sora looked up, staring a hole through Black Omega X. A fiery aura flared over her as she prepared to take charge against the Black Ascendant. She quickly fired fiery blasts at Black Omega X, who effortlessly wiped the attacks out.
Before Sora could even retaliate, Mimi stopped her. "Don't, Sora. You'll end up just like Tai, Max. and the others!" The Bearer of Sincerity pleaded to her friend not to make a rash choice.
As Phoenixmon and Rosemon tried to fend off Black Omega X, the Black Ascendant largely toyed with the two. He blasted them both away. Then, he grabbed Rosemon and kicked her away.
"Feh, you're no better than the Rosemon I killed," Black Omega X scoffed irritably. He shifted over to Sora and Mimi, giving them an evil grin.
Omega X stirred in Sora's arms. "You're not getting away… with this…"
"Hey, asshole! Did you forget about me?!" Metalla X bellowed as he charged up a Big Bang Attack.
Omega X and Max already readied Tsunami Wave stances.
Having noticed the trio preparing a united attack, Black Omega X snorted. He noticed the pink energy string on his finger dissipate. This signaled that his doppelganger got what he sought for.
(End theme)
"I had enough for today." Black Omega X powered down as a portal opened up behind him. "Catch you all later."
With that, Black Omega X left the dimension as the portal disappeared.
"He's gone. Whoever he is, he's got quite the power," Max muttered as he finished tending to Godzillamon. "Being able to fight off three Super Ascendant Blues."
"Ascendant Rosé is like it's own unique beast. It's just like Blue, but there's a weird divine presence to it," Omega X muttered. "And I still can't shake off this feeling that aura feels so familiar."
As he checked on Keke and Mosuramon, Metalla X growled. "Well, he's not getting away with what he's done here."
As she picked up Palmon, Bearer of Sincerity sighed. "I'm just glad no one got seriously hurt."
"Hey, Tai, you mentioned Black Omega X's aura felt so familiar. Who's the first person that crosses your mind?" Max queried to Omega X.
"All I know it's a divine aura and it's someone I've probably fought before," Omega X said. "But, this guy's energy is so unique, I can hardly tell who he might be… he did mention that body of his is counterfeit."
"So, someone who created an artificial body to house his power in," Max said. "That doesn't exactly tell us who this individual is." He patted Omega X's shoulder. "C'mon, we can tell this over at your place."
"Right, let's get going everyone," Omega X nodded as he checked with Sora. "Hey, that was brave of you what you did, but don't try and fight someone like him."
"I know, but I couldn't let him get away…"
Omega X put a finger to her chin. "Heh, I don't want you to start making rash choices like I do. That's a me thing not you."
"I'll keep that in mind."
Madoka finished treating most of the heroes. The last ones she healed were Kaimodosu X and Miranda.
"Thanks, Madoka," Kaimodosu X said with gratitude.
"That was pitiful, guess I'll have to up my training," Miranda expressed disappointment in her defeat.
"More like time to go back with us where you help us build better defenses for the building," Izzy was heard as he, Yolei, and Zordiark X came to pick her up.
"Yes, of course…" Miranda dusted herself off. "But, maybe a teensy bit of training, too? I promise not to get reckless like that again."
"Right, because you thought that detonation ball of yours could've stopped him," Zordiark X remarked.
"Aww, c'mon, I know I've been restricted to this vicinity, but a little freedom makes people like me less cranky! And that evil Tai crashed into our place, so I only attacked because he was a threat to us!" Miranda voiced her discontent with SHIELD's restrictions placed on her. As a result, she ended up getting a scolding from Yolei.
(Cue Hunter x Hunter OST - Scariness)
Having just noticed Omega X, Izzy walked up to his friend.
"Hey, Tai, we just saw that evil clone of yours…"
"Thanks for taking care of those civilians for us, Izzy. I know we can count on you and the few others who can't fight the big strong enemies like I can."
The Bearer of Knowledge nodded and smiled. "No problem, but don't you think it'd feel good if we all fought together like the old days?"
"I'd like that," Omega X smiled back to his friend.
Omega X looked up to the spot where Black Omega X forged an escape portal. He gritted his teeth. He still couldn't shake off his suspicions and wondered about Black Omega X's identity.

Chapter L: Super Ascendant Rosé

Digital World/Azulongmon's Realm/Moments ago
(Cue JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders OST - Tension)
"Imposter, you shall not have the Digicores! No matter what!"
Azulongmon prepared for another Aurora Force, but a rosé aura formed over Black Omega X. The villainous Ascendant transformed into full Super Ascendant Rosé. Falcomon blanched in horror as Black Omega X's aura cracked and ripped the interior wall, shattering it with immense force.
This is Super Ascendant power?! So immense and divine… and yet it brims with evil! Falcomon thought, trying to process what he's witnessing.
"You've attained the power akin to an Ascendant God?! Who are you…? Your power feels similar to a Digi-Deity's!" Azulongmon yelled out, horrified with that he was sensing.
Black Omega X cupped his hands and gathered a black ball of Ki. "Time for you to sleep, Azulongmon!" He then unleashed his Black Tsunami Wave, hitting Azulongmon with full force and knocking the Sovereign out of commission.
Azulongmon collapsed still breathing but critically damaged by Black Omega X.
Falcomon backed off terrified for his life. Black Omega X seized the Digicore guardian and lifted him up.
"Now tell me where those Digicores are contained, or you die." Black Omega X readied a black Ki ball in case Falcomon refused to cooperate.
Before Falcomon can say anything, Black Omega X turned and sighted bright glowing lights. He threw Falcomon down and flew into the source of the lights. He entered a spacious room and eyed the four Digicores sitting inside four slots.
"They're right here for the pickings," Black Omega X eyed the four glowing orbs.
Suddenly, the images of Ebonwumon, Zhuqiaomon, and Baihumon appeared on the wall. They noticed the Black Ascendant stealing the Digicores.
"Who are you?!" Baihumon demanded. "Wait, it's Taichi Kamiya!"
"No, it's that imposter we were informed about from Azulongmon!" Ebonwumon's left head added.
"Set those Digicores down if you know what's good for you!" Zhuqiaomon threatened as his body lit with divine flames.
"You should tend to your fellow Sovereign. He and his guardians require some medical treatment after what I did to them," Black Omega X said, snapping his fingers, causing the Digicores to float around him. "I have what I came for. Time for me to depart."
"Stop!" Falcomon shouted as he flew at Black Omega X.
"Farewell!" Black Omega X waved off as he summoned a black portal and hopped through it.
Just then, BanchoLeomon stormed in after having sensed a distress from the sanctuary. He quickly fired a blast toward Black Omega X, but it was too late. The Black Ascendant slipped through the portal at the last second.
(End theme)
"Falcomon!" BanchoLeomon roared as he tended to him.
"No, he's gotten away with the Digicores!" Falcomon blamed himself for his failure as guardian.
"No, you and the others just weren't ready for him to infiltrate and take the Digicores," BanchoLeomon said.
"Something must be done, BanchoLeomon! It's crucial those Digicores are returned or else the enemy will use them for whatever nefarious purposes!" Ebonwumon's right head bellowed.
"Come my friends! We must tend to Azulongmon!" Baihumon declared.
"Alert Taichi and his friends, Falcomon!" Zhuqiaomon ordered.
After checking on Apollomon and the others, BanchoLeomon nodded. "Yeah, we'll contact Tai and the others about this."
"Will do!" Falcomon replied without hesitation. He closed his eyes. Wherever you are, c'mon and pick up, Tai! Max! Anyone!

Pocket Dimension
Black Omega X witnessed a wormhole open up. To his delight, his doppelganger returned with the Digicores.
"Ah, you've brought them. Magnificent," Black Omega X grinned fiendishly as he snatched the Digicores. "Now return to me." With a finger snap, the doppelganger turned into rosé dust and was absorbed into the Black Ascendant's body. "Now to await the other two to bring me RaPhoenixmon's mirror and ObeliskMegaGargomon's gem. What's keeping them?"

Earth/Odaiba Park (お台場公園)/11:55 AM
Later on, Shu and Gai returned to meet with Inori and Mana, who waited for them at the park. The pink-haired women saw their boyfriends limping and collapse. Inori and Mana rushed over to tend to them.
"Shu!"
"Gai, oh my god! Are you ok?!"
Gai answered to his love interest. "That fight couldn't ended better."
Shu inserted. "But, thankfully we're still alive."
Inori grasped Shu's hand. "Thank goodness, you're ok."
Gai chuckled. "And you know what's funny? That Black Ascendant has a hair color that matches yours, Mana and Inori." He elaborated on the Super Ascendant Rosé transformation.
"What?! Oh, that jerk wants to copy me, Inori, and Madoka now?!" Mana scoffed over this development.
"Despite the color change, he was a lot more dangerous to contend with. He had a quick power boost since the other day… if he continues to gain boosts of strength like this every fight he's in, then we're in serious trouble," Shu illustrated.
Inori gasped. "No."
Mana frowned. "Maybe you should've let us join. I mean, me and Inori have practically god-like powers now, too."
Gai sighed. "Hate to say, but you two wouldn't have made a difference."
"Just like now," a pair of newcomer voices interjected as a portal opened up revealing Arkadimon and Deathmon.
(Cue Castlevania: Curse of Darkness OST - Garibaldi Courtyard)
The bystanders fled in terror from the sight of the two Digimon monstrosities. The two giants stalked toward the four. Drawing out their void sword, Shu and Gai stood up ready to fight.
"Please, don't waste our time," Deathmon chortled.
"We've only come for her," Arkadimon pointed to Mana, who hid behind Gai.
"You're not getting your hands on my sister, whoever you are!" Shu rebuked against the creature.
"Seems like our Black Ascendant buddy did a number on you two. Don't worry we'll make this quick," Deathmon approached them.
"You're in league with Black Omega X?! Then, we'll send a message to him by defeating you two!" Gai roared as he and Shu rushed Arkadimon and Deathmon.
Watching their boyfriends engage the Digimon beasts, Inori and Mana witnessed the tide quickly being turned as the monsters evolved. The sound of Shu and Gai's cries caused them to cower.
Following a brief but bloody scuffle, Shu and Gai were left lying injured. Their Void swords dissipated after having been decisively defeated. When Mana and Inori tried to invoke their Genesis and Apocalypse goddess forms, Deathmon and Arkadimon managed to subdue them.
Arkadimon walked forward, unveiling a new evolved form unique to him. He resembled the same creature, but with a skull face, a black robe worn by Death, and carrying a scythe. A bunch of small sickles surrounded him in a circle formation. He managed to soundly defeat Shu.
"You were never a match for me: Arkadi X."
Deathmon stepped forward, revealing his own unique evolved form. He resembled a giant dark gray-skinned reptilian humanoid garbed in black and gold armor. His glowing green eyes scanned Gai's broken form.
"A nice attempt being a hero, but I, Galamon X, can't be defeated by you."
"We'll be taking her now," Arkadi X snapped his fingers to make the unconscious Mana float over to him. He grabbed and carried the woman.
"Where are you taking my sister?!" Shu snapped at him.
"We have no time to answer, boy. We're just following orders for our master." Arkadi X answered in a polite and serious tone, a stark contrast to his previous berserker monster state Arkadimon showed to be.
"And we must go, Arkadi X." Galamoth X deeply said.
Arkadi X then opened the portal, leaving this dimension. Galamoth X hopped through the portal followed by Arkadi X.
As he was about to leave, Arkadi X turned to the trio.
"We shall meet again. Until then brush up on your skills if you wish to defeat our organization," Arkadi X said as he floated through the portal while carrying Mana.
(End theme)
"Damn it! Mana!" Shu cursed and punched the ground.
Inori crawled over and hugged Shu from behind. "We're going to get her back, Shu. I promise."
Gai growled. "We have to let the others know fast about what happened!"

Azabu-Jūban District (麻布十番区)/Hikawa Shrine (氷川神社)/Dimension: YYGDM-01/2:25 PM
Meanwhile, Dramon X and Angemon X engaged their Black counterparts with a flurry of punches. Dramon X punched Black Dramon X away. Angemon X and Black Angemon X blasted each other back.
Black Angemon X scowled. "It's time, my friend."
"Let's get serious then." Black Dramon X responded.
(Cue Neurotech – As Will Ascends)
Then, both Black Angemon X and Black Dramon X yelled and powered up to new forms similar to Black Omega X's Black Ascendant Rosé form.
Black Angemon X's appearance stayed the same except his hair color and wings changed to rosé with elements of Super Angemon X's built frame.
Black Dramon X's appearance stayed the same, except his body glowed with a rosé color similar to Trans-Am from Gundam 00. He pulled out and brandished his choice sword: the Black Star Breaker blade.
Dramon X scoffed seeing his counterpart wearing a rosé-schemed gimmick. "Couldn't you have picked a badass color than that?"
Black Dramon X chortled, speaking a familiar faux-British voice. "I guess you just can't comprehend the beauty of one wielding divine light? Such a shame, Kensuke Rainer."
"Man, spare me that pretentious British accent, please!" Dramon X groaned.
"Then, let's resume this fight, Kensuke."
Dramon X and Black Dramon X flew around with god-like speeds in the sky. They moved so fast no ordinary people see their reaction movements. Clashes and sword strikes are felt that neither can land a direct hit.
"Man, I can't even hit you?!" Dramon X growled with fury.
Black Dramon X cackled. "Our speeds are equalized! We can keep this going for however long we can!"
"Well, I don't have all the time in the world to be fighting you!" Dramon X snapped as he flew into Black Dramon X and slammed him down.
Angemon X and Sedna watched Dramon X fight with his might.
"Brother, be careful!" Sedna pleaded. She turned her sights on Black Angemon X's rosé presence.
Watching Dramon X and Black Dramon X's battle escalate, Black Angemon X taunted Angemon X.
"Seeing you look like me and with rosé hair is so wrong," Angemon X conveyed his disgust at Black Angemon X.
Black Angemon X chortled evilly in response to their retorts. "Oh, I'm touched. Not really I am. I'm glad you recognize the rosé color suits me well." He speaks in a more eloquently than Dimitri's polite tone.
"We didn't compliment you!" Sedna rebuked, quickly transforming into her Dai-Valkyrie form.
"Let's end this chatter and commence with your deaths," the Black Ascendant suggested, charging two black Ki balls and firing them at the two.
Angemon X and Dai-Valkyrie Sedna both flew up, but the Ki blasts homed on them. Angemon X sliced a Ki ball in two. Sedna produced a ball of ice that absorbed and stopped the other Ki blast in its tracks.
"Not bad!" Black Angemon X cackled as he phased behind Angemon X and Sedna. "But still too slow!"
Angemon X and Sedna quickly turned to attack Black Angemon X. The Black Ascendant blasted Angemon X back. Sedna drew out her Dragon Saber and slashed at Black Angemon X. But, the Black Ascendant caught the blade with one hand and kicked it from her hand. Black Angemon X went for an elbow, but Sedna summoned Knut, who took the blow for his rider. Knut was felled quickly. Sedna flew down to tend to Knut.
"I don't think so," Black Angemon X lobbed a black Ki ball at Sedna, who turned as it approached her.
"SIS!" Dramon X instinctively flew over and threw himself in front of Sedna, taking Black Angemon X's blast. He wailed painfully, leaving himself open for the Black Ascendants to double team him with coordinated attacks.
The Black Ascendant duo combined black Ki balls, forming a larger black sphere. They shoved it into Dramon X and sent him crashing toward Angemon X.
"Brother!" Sedna cried out, flying down to tend to Dramon X and Angemon X.
"That does it! Let's see how you handle Advanced Beasts!" BlazeGallantmon declared as red flames enveloped him. The red flames formed into a red sphere, which cracked open. From this sphere came Guilkatomon, who fired his Hazard Wave at the Black Ascendants.
"Takato!" Moon called out him. She transformed into her Dai-Valkyrie form and tried to help Guilkatomon.
"Foolish mortal," Black Dramon X muttered, putting his hand out to stop Guilkatomon's attack.
Black Angemon X propelled toward Guilkatomon and hammered him with punches. Guilkatomon put up his guard, but Black Angemon X overwhelmed him with heavy punches. The Black Ascendant clubbed Guilkatomon's face and blasted him down. As StormSakuyamon and QuakeGargomon intervened, Black Dramon X stopped them at their tracks.
"Going somewhere?" Black Dramon X grinned evilly, taunting them.
"Take this!" StormSakuyamon flew at Black Dramon X.
As Black Dramon X prepared to attack, Guilkatomon fired a red beam that cut StormSakuyamon off from Black Dramon X.
"Don't, Rika and Renamon…!" Guilkatomon called out. "You and QuakeGargomon can't beat him!"
"He's right. You'd best stand down," Black Dramon X chortled.
"Yeah, well I sure as hell won't stand down!" Brunhilde quickly flew at Black Dramon X. She swung down and tossed her blade at Black Dramon X.
Black Dramon X backhanded Brunhilde's sword. She took out a small silver crystal. She invoked her Moon Force Crystal's power and unleashed a silver beam that impacted Black Dramon X.
"Kotori, don't overexert yourself with that!" Moon warned her.
"It's ok! I've got a better grasp over it these days! Especially after beating that whore Mist!" Brunhilde called out.
"Too bad you're fighting two opponents!" Black Angemon X said as he phased behind Brunhilde and clubbed her back. He then elbowed her in the spine, sending her crashing to the ground.
"Kotori!" Moon cried out as she flew down to tend to the Valkyrie.
Yusuke attempted a last desperate attack on Black Angemon X. However, the Black Ascendant stopped Yusuke's Spirit Gun shot with one hand. He quickly kneed Yusuke and kicked him away, sending him landing on top of a cart.
Moon looked up, casting a scornful glare at the Black Ascendants. Houou Mars stopped her from going after them.
"Don't. That's what they want," Houou Mars advised her. As she prepared to attack them with her cosmic flames, she watched their rosé auras fade.
(End theme)
Black Angemon X and Dramon X powered down to their normal states.
"I think it's time we have leave." Black Angemon X stated.
"We have some errands to finish, but you needn't worry. We'll play with you maggots again." Black Dramon X wickedly said.
"Let's finish our work," Black Angemon X formed a portal and hopped through it.
Black Dramon X waved to Dramon X. "We'll do this again very soon, Kensuke."
Both dark angels conjured portals to leave the dimension.
"Wait! Get back here, you monsters!" Angemon X roared.
But, the Black Ascendants already departed as the portals disappeared.
Smashing his fist to the ground, Angemon X vented. "Damn it! They got away!"
"Is anyone ok?" Sedna asked everyone else.
"We're all fine, but he still took my sister's mirror," Houou Mars sighed.
"Brother, how are you holding up?" Sedna asked, holding Dramon X.
"I'll live…" Dramon X muttered, opening his eyes. "But those rosé-colored assholes sure won't. I sure as well won't let them get away calling us fucking maggots."
"I'm just glad Athena wasn't here to see this," Sedna said.
Angemon X stood, staring intensely toward the sky. "They won't get away with this."
"Don't worry. If we know bad guys like them, they'll come and try to finish us off, but we will rebound from this," the Kuiper reminded them. "It's what we do."
"She's right," Moon said, finishing healing Brunhilde. "This is just a battle we lost, but there'll come another chance."
Guilkatomon struggled to sit up. "Right."
Holding Dramon X, Sedna carried him. They then both stood next to Angemon X.
"Let's hope all of us are better prepped for these guys next time," Angemon X began to resolve from his despair. "I bet Tai and the others would agree. I mean, there's only three Black Ascendants to worry about. What else can go wrong?"
Upon arriving with Cammy's friends, Shingo ran over and hugged Cammy, who cried onto his shoulder.
"He took the mirror," Cammy cried.
"The one with RaPhoenixmon in?" Shingo queried.
"Yeah… I don't know why he would want it beyond taking RaPhoenixmon's power."
"That's very likely the realistic scenario," Kurama said, treating Hiei.
"And just when I thought the shrine would be free from assholes for a while," Houou Mars said. "It wasn't long ago 'daddy' showed up possessed by a fragment of Yami Houou to take Igasu's container."
Sailor Moon turned to Houou Mars. "I'm sorry. I wish we could've gotten here sooner."
"No, you responded faster than I could've expected."
"These Black Ascendants aren't wasting any time. This one didn't waste anytime stealing Cammy's mirror. They're no doubt planning to do something with it," Sailor Sedna speculated.
"Whatever it is, we'll stop them," Sailor Orcus nodded.
Yui patted Cammy's shoulder. "Don't blame yourself for this. There's no way you could've stopped him on your own."
Cammy smiled and nodded. "Thanks, Yui."
"Yeah, we're going to take back that mirror and beat these Black Ascendants!" Aoshi reassured her.
"We have to tell Tai and the others about this," Angemon X informed everyone.
"Don't worry that's the plan," Sedna said. "I mean, that's the sole purpose for the meeting, so we can talk to Tai about these Black Ascendants."
"Well, it didn't take one of them long to come right back and take the mirror," Kensuke said. "Wait, what if they're after the other two objects? SliferGigaSeadramon's Digicores and ObeliskMegaGargomon's gem?!"
"That would be trouble," Saturn said.
"Yes, it's imperative more than ever we take action right away," Venus suggested. "After we get patched up, we're heading to Legend HQ, everyone. This has bumped up to an omega level situation."
"Are we ready to go?" Moon asked Kurama, who finished treating Hiei. "Ok then, let's get moving. Off to Legend HQ!"

Pocket dimension/Dimension: XLR-8
(Cue Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia OST - Stones Hold a Grudge)
Meanwhile, upon entering the Digi-Deity's pocket dimension, Black Dramon X had no trouble collecting ObeliskMegaGargomon's gem. He examined the gem in his hand and chuckled.
"Perfect and that makes three. We have all three items," Black Dramon X muttered, glancing over to see Black Omega X holding the Digicores and Black Angemon X carrying the Dragon Gazer Mirror.
"Now, let's make use of their powers as our masters intended," Black Omega X stated.
"And we must act quickly before we shift to the next phase," Black Angemon X suggested.

Other World/X's Planet/Dimension: DF-616/May 6, 2012/9:30 AM
Back on X's planet, Max and Gojiramon are inside their mansion with concerned looks about the situation.
This is bad, now the Digicores have been taken! Black Omega X played us into his hands and sent a clone to collect them under our noses! I'll finish up here and get back to Tai pronto! Max anxiously thought after grabbing a few supplies from his room.
"I'm ready to go, Max!" Gojiramon said, carrying his backpack.
"Right, let's…" Before Max can finish, he sensed a malevolent presence materialize. "Who's there?!"
(Cue Castlevania: Curse of Darkness OST - Eneomaos Machine Tower)
"I'm hurt. Don't you recognize me, Max Kamiya? So, sorry I'm interrupting your plan to see your friends." A voice coolly and darkly whispered as he seemed to read, seemingly reading Max's thoughts, which broke Max's train of thought.
Max and Gojiramon turned to see the intruder approach them. It was Soma Saitou accompanied by Kyubey, who sat on his right shoulder.
"Who are you, and how did you know my name?!" Max demanded, dropping into a battle stance. "And did you just read my mind?" Only gods and Tai has been able to do that!
"Yeah, there's others besides gods and your friends who can read minds," Saitou calmly chortled. "Max Kamiya, relax. I didn't come here to fight you, but I suggest you come with me." He raised his hand toward his palm.
Seeing this, Max quickly launched at Saitou and pushed him out of the room. He crashed through a wall and flew far away carrying Saitou with him. He grabbed Saitou and tossed him down. Saitou spun around and floated down.
Saitou smirked. "Didn't I say I didn't come here to fight you?"
Max descended toward him. "You're an intruder on holy grounds! How did you get here?!" He then eyed Kyubey on the man's shoulder. "And why is Kyubey with you?!"
"You're about to find out soon enough," Saitou sighed as he got into a fighting stance.
"Please don't make it hard on us, Max Kamiya," Kyubey insisted.
"Hey, jerk! You went turncoat on us! Why I oughta!" Gojiramon snarled as he ran to get Kyubey, but Max stopped him.
As Max powered up, he flew at Saitou to attack. Just then, he paused and witnessed Saitou raising the palm of his hand.
Wait, something's off! He's not about to fire a Ki beam! Max realized but it was too late as he felt a force that quickly knocked him unconscious. He collapsed in front of Saitou.
"Max!" Gojiramon cried out and is about to attack, but Saitou knocked him away with a Ki beam. After knocking out the Kaijuu Digimon, he picked up and carried Max with him.
"Sleep tight, we'll properly greet each other momentarily." Saitou stated.
With that, Saitou created a portal for him, Kyubey, and his hostage to leave the dimension.
(End theme)
Shortly after Saitou and Kyubey left taking Max with them, Simms returned to see Max. To his dismay, he saw Gojiramon lying unconscious.
"Gojiramon?!" Simms yelled out as he ran over to the Kaijuu Digimon. "Gojiramon! Hey, what happened to you? Where's Max?" He shook Gojiramon awake.
Gojiramon came to and groaned. "...Simms… it's Max… they took him…"
"Who took Max?"
"Kyubey and some guy named Saitou… they took Max…!"
The old watcher was left befuddled. "The Black Ascendants weren't behind this? What in Other World is going on here?"

Odaiba District (お台場地区)/Odaiba Notama Apartments/Tai's Residence/Room#122/10:00 AM
"DAMN IT!" The angry roar of Tai shook the apartment. He nearly kicked the door down to run out and trace Max's presence. He got nothing and put his fingers on his forehead. With Instant Movement, he quickly vanished to Other World and returned back when he saw no Max there to meet him. "I can't believe this! First, that evil tricks us and uses a clone to nab the Digicores right under our noses! Now, they've got Max and Shu's sister!"
Sora approached Tai and patted his shoulder. "Tai, it's ok. Breath." Her gentle voice calmed him down. "Listen, I'm terribly upset by this, too."
"Then, we should be looking for him! For all we know, they could've killed him!"
"I doubt it," Simms spoke up. "Gojiramon said the man who captured him had no interest to kill Max."
"Level with us, Gojiramon. This man isn't one of the Black Ascendants?" Keke asked the Kaijuu Digimon.
"Nope, he called himself Soma Saitou or something like. And Kyubey was with him."
Hearing Kyubey's name, Madoka frowned. "So, that's where Kyubey's been lately. He's been with the enemy? Has he been monitoring us and giving information to the enemy behind our backs. Homura's not gonna be happy when I tell her."
"I knew that little jerk couldn't be trusted!" Gojiramon said.
Madoka patted Gojiramon. "Don't worry. We'll get Max back. I promise!"
"How do we go about this then?" Tai asked, scanning the guests in his apartment.
"We can ask Simms. Maybe Lord Shinmon?" Agumon suggested.
"Or, maybe Lords Whismon and Beerusmon," Dorothy said.
"Those two are supposed to visit us soon, aren't they?" Sora asked Tai.
"By soon, you mean today," Tai corrected her. "Apparently, they got done investigating my suspicions on the identity of the divine aura I sensed from Black Omega X."
"So, have you figured it out?" Kari asked her brother.
"You might think it's someone you fought before?" Gatomon asked him. "Well, spill it. Who do you think it is?"
Taking a deep breath, Tai opened his eyes. He wore a deeply serious and intense look on his face. He had become a man on a mission to bring down the ones who've made the conflict personal.
"Zamasmon."

Shinjuku, Tokyo (新宿区, 東京)/Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building (東京都庁舎)/Legend Headquarters/Dimension: YYGDM-01/8:30 PM
Not long after their skirmish with Black Angemon X, the Sailor Senshi and Spirit Detectives reconvened with the other heroes in Legend HQ. When they informed the Tamers, Legendary Warriors, Duelists, and the others about the Black Ascendant's attack, serious discussions went down about the Black Ascendant Trio's recent appearances and Black Angemon X stealing RaPhoenixmon's mirror.
"I'm seriously glad you're ok, Cammy," Takato said.
"But the fact he took the mirror spells bad news, especially if they're after the other two items," Yugi stated.
"Without those items, that prevents us from reviving anyone with the Digicores and without the other two items we have little way to repair dimensional damages," Sedna pointed out these scenarios.
"If we're going to stop these Black Ascendants, we'll have to approach this situation with extreme caution," Sailor Pluto highly suggested. "And predicting the arrival of the Black Ascendants will be difficult to pinpoint. They're traversing through the Nexus with outside resources."
"I've seen similar instruments like rings used by past dimension crossers. They call the dimension rings." John Smith elaborated.
"Isn't Ryo doing his part and investigating this, Karin?" Dimitri asked Sedna.
"Yeah, and if he returns with anything he'll let us know, but we're in the dark. Ryo suggested I lay low for now so I don't run the risk into running into the Black Ascendants."
Although not present in the conference room, Marty Stonebagel, founder of the West Coasters, was on a big screen to speak with the other Founders and their cohorts.
"Yeah, sounds like we have a troubled situation here. Me and my team would be willing to help. We'll send for some of us over there." Marty informed them.
"We're very grateful of you willing to help us, Marty," Moon genuinely said.
"Between these Black Ascendants and our captured friends, we don't know where to turn," Brunhilde said.
Pluto offered. "I think I know some people who may be able to help us."
"Who?" Moon asked the Time Guardian.
"I think you'll be surprised if they're willing to help us," John vaguely said.
"Also, apparently others have mysteriously vanished in dimension DF-616," Pluto informed everyone. "John's TARDIS picked up on a few anomalous sources that infiltrated that dimension."
"Was it the Black Ascendants? And who were captured?" Dimitri asked her.
John answered. "We don't know who entered that universe, but one of the Watchers, Simms, informed us Max Kamiya was captured among others."
"Max's been captured, too?!" Dimitri and Kensuke yelled out together.
"No way, who'd get the drop on him?!" Takato was aghast hearing this.
"Who's the other?" asked Moon.
"The other is Mana Ouma," Pluto revealed. "These specific two and one of our own, Skogul, were captured at different points of time and locations. We can't confirm nor deny if the Black Ascendants had any involvement in these captures."
"Maybe not them, but they probably have accomplices working with them," Takato considered.
"That's a likely scenario, Takato," Henry said.
"This has become a multi-dimensional problem," Yugi added. "We might need to break into groups."
"That's good an all, but we need to find out where the Black Ascendants and their accomplices are hiding out," Venus said.
"That's why Ryo is on the job looking for the bad guys' location," Sedna plainly said.
"Moreover, our DF-616 allies will do their part and investigate into this as well," Pluto reminded them.
"We'll have to decide who's willing to go," Mars pressed.
Moon addressed everyone in the room. "And if anyone doesn't feel up to fighting with us, we won't blame you nor hold it against you."
"Ok, so we're all in this together, are we?" Brunhilde asked her crew.
"You bet, I mean that's our friend who's been captured!" Sigrun said energetically.
"Count me in," Gondul nobly added.
"Then, it's decided," Brunhilde pointed to herself, Skuld, Gondul, Sigrun, and a few others.
"Looks like we'll be in this to save Max and kick some Black Ascendant ass," Kensuke turned to Dimitri and Sedna.
"Got that right, but I suggest we invite Tai and the others here so we can discuss how we approach this situation carefully," Dimitri said.
"Good idea. We still need to find out where's the Black Ascendants' current location," Sedna said. "I mean, they could be occupying some pocket dimension within the Nexus for all we know. They could be linked to the entity that unleashed all those anomalous agents we've been clearing out."
"Anomalous agents…" John muttered.
(Cue Doctor Who Series 5 OST - I Am The Doctor)
Suddenly, something just dawned on John Smith. He stormed out of the conference room.
"John?!" Pluto went after him. She ran out the room and spotted him getting into his TARDIS.
John typed something into his TARDIS board as he pulled up a map of the Nexus. He meticulously scanned the Nexus map and isolated every anomalous beacon until he noticed three anomalies moving toward a location. He watched as these beacons quickly vanished upon entering some black void.
"John? What is it?"
John then noticed several other beacons vanish into another dark void. He picked up on the coordinates to these two void locations.
"Miss Sedna brought something to my attention. All those anomalous agents we've been working hard to eliminate was due to my TARDIS picking up on their locations," John reminded Pluto.
"Yes, and what about that?"
"If these Black Ascendants and accomplices operate like any other anomalous agent, then the TARDIS should be able to track their current locations."
"Have you been able to locate them?"
"Apparently so," John pointed to the two void-like beacons on a screen. "See these two beacons? I just saw three anomalous sources converge and enter this void. When you think three, who immediately springs to mind?"
"The Black Ascendants."
"They've entered a dimension with these coordinates: DUA-16. And get this, I noticed other beacons moving toward another void. And you know what dimension this is?"
"Do tell."
"Yog-Sothoth's Realm."
Pluto was speechless to hear this.
"Pluto, we have to tell everyone about this. I think we may have found the location of our kidnapped friends."

Earth/Odaiba District (お台場地区)/Pizza Palace/Dimension: DF-616
As Simms gave them specifics regarding Max's kidnapping, Tai got up from his chair.
"Tai, you're not going to save him in your current state of mind," Simms said. "You'd only fall into the enemy's hands yourself."
"Please, Tai," Sora pleaded as he sat down.
"Believe me. Me, Lord Shinmon, and the deities have searched. He's not in this universe anymore. He's traveled beyond the Nexus at this point if the enemy are using resources granting them dimension travel into other universes," Simms plainly stated. "They're using the same method of dimension travel like you all have been doing during your dimension mission travels."
"So, what am I supposed to do? Sit on my ass and wait?"
"No, Tai. Simms is right, he's not in this dimension anymore," Whismon said.
"Tai, look I'm worried for Max, too, but let's calm down and hear what Whismon has to tell us," Sora reasoned with Tai. "We both know Max can take care of himself."
"If anyone else should be pissed about this besides Tai, it's me," Keke added. "But speaking as his girl, I know Max has been able to handle situations on his own."
"Yes, if anything, they'll keep Max alive to lure you all to them," Simms said.
"Then, we have little reason to worry if that's the case," Whismon said.
"Now, where's that special pizza Mimi promised? We have much to discuss," Beerusmon snarled impatiently.
"Right this way, Lord Beerusmon!" Mimi called over to him.
"About time," the gluttonous purple cat god remarked.
"Thank you for inviting us, Miss Mimi. Hopefully, this special pizza is worth our time," Whismon said.
"Well, have you heard of Pepperoni Pizza Wraps?" The Bearer of Sincerity enticed them with a wink.
"Sounds delightfully scrumptious!" Whismon smirked.
"Well, c'mon! I'm hungry!" Beerusmon stormed into the restaurant, pushing away customers and rudely demanding service.
Keke muttered to Simms. "Did anyone forget to tell Lord Beerusmon that even gods have to stay in line?"
"Don't tell him that," Simms replied
xxxxx
"Ah, that sure hits the spot," Beerusmon licked his fingers.
"Yes, those pizza wraps were worth the wait, Miss Mimi," Whismon said, wiping his mouth with a napkin.
"Glad you like it," Mimi chuckled.
After the god and the angel had their pizza fill, the Digidestined and their cohorts (including Madoka and Shu's friends being brought over from their GCLK-1113 dimension to help) were discussing and making preparations to save Max and Mana from the Imaginalists. Gojiramon, Shu, Inori, and Gai already told them their witness accounts about Max and Mana's kidnappings.
"Ok, guys. Consider this Operation: Save M&M's," Tai named their mission title of saving Max and Mana.
"And we'll be coming with you," Shu added. "Those bastards kidnapped my sister."
Gai nodded. "Agreed, these foes will pay for what they've done."
Inori nodded. "Yeah, we have to save Mana before they do anything terrible to her."
"Yeah, but this Saitou guy was able to capture Max. I-I don't… his energy was nothing like I felt before," Gojiramon told his side of the scenario. "According to him, he's from some other world where Max exists… well, existed. So, he came and took our Max! I want to give that jerk a piece of my mind!"
Keke growled. "You're speaking my mind, Gojiramon. But I call kicking Saitou's sorry ass. No one takes my Max!"
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Team Dragon's Theme)
"Yes, but before we go and carry out this rescue mission, I've just been informed of the location of where Max and Mana are currently held," Whismon informed everyone.
"Huh? Already?" Tai asked him.
"It appears that Time Lord Digimon hybrid, Volodramon, confirmed two possible locations. One in a dimension called DUA-16 and the other being Yog-Sothoth's Realm."
"Yog-Sothoth? The Yog-Sothoth?" Izzy apprehensively asked the Digital Angel Digimon.
"Yes, he exists. It appears our enemies may be holding Max and Mana there. And it appears Max and Mana aren't the only ones captured, our YYGDM-01 friends had one of their own captured, too. Though, according to an eye witness who watched his individual's kidnapping, this being had an uncanny appearance to Miss Homura Akemi," Whismon explained.
Upon hearing this, Homura sprang out of her chair and slammed her hands on the table.
"Homura?!" Madoka shrieked from Homura's sudden jolt.
"Did you say this being has my exact likeness?" Homura inquired to Whismon.
"Well, according to the witnesses there, yes, but I can't confirm."
First, Kyubey goes behind our backs to help the enemy! Now this?! Could it be one of my other alternate selves still out there? What could've possessed her to kidnap an innocent person?! Homura wondered about her counterpart. "It's critical we look into this. If there's another me that's involved with these kidnappings and is partnered with the Black Ascendants, then I want in!"
Madoka smiled. "And wherever Homura goes, I'll follow her to the end. Kyubey also has to answer to his wrongdoings."
Kyoko shrugged. "Can't be helped. I'm in."
Sayaka added. "I think we're all in. Right, Ayase?"
"Got that right," Ayase concurred.
Kirito (Corner) stuck a fork into his pizza. "Consider me in, too. Besides I've been itching for more action since fighting with y'all against that Black Ascendant."
"Who the heck eats pizza with a fork?!" Agumon gawked.
"A weirdo. That's who," Gojiramon remarked.
"Yes, yes, but first there's a little matter we need to look into first," Beerusmon interjected. He turned to Tai and Agumon. "You two, we're going to that other dimension to pick up Dimitri and Kensuke."
"Um, what for, Lord Beerusmon?" Agumon inquired.
"I think we might have our lead as to who might've created the Black Ascendants."
"Really? Because I already have an ide..." Tai yelled out as Beerusmon cupped his mouth.
"Don't blurt it out! I'd rather you see for yourself, you dolt!" Beerusmon chided the Bearer of Courage.
"Mmmmhpf!" Tai tried speaking, but Beerusmon still had a handful of his mouth and kept it closed.
"Go on, Tai. We'll be waiting," Sora smiled and winked. "Find out who it is and then come back to tell us."
Tai withdrew Beerusmon's hand and kissed Sora. "We will. And when we get back, we're gonna save Max along with Shu's sister."
Wasting little time, Tai and Agumon gathered behind Whismon and Beerusmon.
"We're ready, Whismon. Let's get Dimitri and Kensuke," Tai said.
"Of course, that's the idea." Whismon tapped his staff on the floor and teleported them out of their universe.

Next chapter: Separations of Tomorrow
xxxxx
A/N: And they're off to confront Zamasmon, one of the masterminds behind the coordinated attacks and kidnappings. Rosé gets an introduction and the three Triad items have been stolen by the Black Ascendants. Good news though, John/Volodramon have located the bad guys' dimension hideouts and our heroes make their moves to save the captives.
In this chapter, I took and combined excerpts from Cross Generations chapters 16 (The Dark Angels' Second Advent) and 17 (Separations of Tomorrow). Then, I filled in gaps by writing brand new scenes for better, smoother transitions and expanding on other parts (such as Max putting up some resistance to his capture against Soma Saitou and properly showing Shu & Gai losing Mana).
Next chapter will have Zamasmon being confronted, preparation stuff, and even a brand new scenes not seen in the Cross Generations version. Look forward to the expanded and new stuff.
Until the next chapter, send a review and see you soon!
