A/N: Took about a week off refurbishing (and writing new scenes) this one from the original Cross Generation chapter. That's what happens when you're doing other projects and taking a mental break.

Anyway, the fight with Merged Zamasmon/Black Gaiamon X kicks off and a certain fusion shows up to fight. Enjoy!

Dimension: Zenomnimon's Palace

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Instant Kill Battle)

In an effort to save their Omni King, the Digital Gods of Destruction rushed and attacked Zeed X from all sides. Champamon launched himself at Zeed X. Zeed X barely sidestepped the rotund purple cat.

All this was going on, GrandWhismon and the Angels feed Zenomnimon from his prison.

"Welp, fun time's over. Figured it'd end this way," Zeed X sighed while dodging Belmondmon and Sidramon's attacks. As they launched Ki blast, he bounced around them like a ping pong ball.

Quitelamon jumped up and bunt Zeed X, but the anomalous being flew out of his reach. The other Destruction Gods launched destruction blasts to wipe him out. Zeed X spun himself around, knocking away their blasts successfully. The moment he saw Zenomnimon walk out of the confinement, Zeed X snorted.

"Wish I could stick around, but my work here is done," Zeed X forged a portal behind him.

(End theme)

"Running away, coward?! We were just getting started!" Champamon pointed to the anomalous entity.

"Oh no, I had fun playing with you gods, but I have other places to be. And other people to torment," Zeed X casually replied. "Plus, a certain battle with a Rogue Guardian is about to wind down soon. I thought I'd be there to see how it plays out."

GrandWhismon called to him. "We, the Angels, know who you are. You're the mastermind behind the anomalous agents that's been plaguing the Nexus." As he revealed this fact to everyone, the Gods of Destruction were shocked.

"You can't mean…! This jerk is the one?!" Champamon was flabbergasted. "This whole time we've been fighting the mastermind?!"

Belmondmon added. "I knew there was something off about him. He doesn't exude any energy I recognize."

"Vadosmon, is this true?!"

Vadosmon nodded. "My father would never lie, Lord Champamon."

Zenomnimon looked up and pointed to Zeed X. "You've been causing a ton of trouble. Time for you to go."

Zeed X chuckled. "You amuse me, baby god, but I intended to leave. Just know an omniversal war, the likes of which you and the entire Nexus has never seen." His face then morphed into Scar the evil lion. "So, be prepaaaaaared!" His face then turned back to normal. He waved them farewell and hopped through the portal.

The Angels and Gods of Destruction discussed Zeed X's ominous message of an impending 'omniversal war', which could affect the foundations of the Nexus.

"An omniversal war? I don't like the sounds of this," Belmondmon dreaded Zeed X's warning.

"Well, Vadosmon. What does Lord Zenomnimon propose?" Champamon asked her.

Before Vadosmon could respond, GrandWhismon quickly addressed everyone present. "Listen, Gods of Destruction and Angels of all 12 Digiverses! Once Lords Beerusmon, Whismon, Russhimon, and Cusmon return from their escapade, we will have a summit to discuss how to best contend with the anomalous mastermind's declaration of war!"

Champamon sighed. "And we don't even know when my brother and his attendant will return."

Vadosmon replied. "Hopefully soon."

Zenomnimon nodded. "Yes, and all of you will show up, ok?"

The Angels and Gods of Destruction bowed to the Omni King.

"Zeed X, don't think your threat will go unpunished," GrandWhismon muttered.

Marcaritamon turned to Belmondmon. "Perhaps this would be the best time to summon the Digital Pride Troopers."

The clown Destruction God rubbed his chin. "Probably just two of them especially Jirenmon. He'll be our best bet against this entity."

Before leaving with Vadosmon, Champamon looked to endless space above Zenomnimon's palace. Brother, hope you can pull out of whatever you're involved with, because all hell's about to break loose in the Nexus. Omni King help us all.

Dimension: DUA-16

(Cue Fate/Zero OST - An eerie enemy)

As he stayed floating in the air, Black Gaiamon X became the divine being he always wanted. He seemed to sit at the top of the heavens and gaze down on all the miniscule mortals beneath him. A clear glow radiated off his divine body. From the white aura, the merged being conjured a white halo of light behind his body.

"Behold my ultimate vessel, the sword and shield in one! Its strength knows no limits! The power coursing through me is exceptional! Glorious! Absolute! Stare in awe! I am justice incarnate!' Black Gaiamon X roared as he discharged lavender bolts of lightning at his adversaries, who quickly moved away.

"No, I don't like this!" muttered Madoka, taking her focus off Dramon X, who was taken out of the conflict after expending his power against Black Dramon X.

"I can't believe it, he was able to merge with those three to form their own Gaiamon X!" Angemon X was flabbergasted by this turn of events.

"This takes me back," Omega X gritted, fiercely growling at the merged being.

"Wait, this has happened before?" Kaimodosu X AM asked her father figure.

"Yeah, you didn't exist yet when it happened, but we fought a rogue human and his partner Paradixalmon. They got so powerful when they combined, me, Dimitri, and Kensuke combined into that guy, except we had lighter colors and we didn't have an ugly face like his," the Bearer of Courage explained the best he could.

Athena X turned to Angemon X. "I remember you told me about this during my bedtime stories!"

Angemon X nodded. "Yeah, but we have no means to become Gaiamon X again unless we have Rei's sister here. Her ancestor's spirit was the catalyst that allowed us to merge to begin with."

Houou Mars sighed. "There's got to be another way to get you to merge."

"Easier said than done with brother now out of commission," Sedna said, gazing over Dramon X, who was being tended to by Madoka and Dai-Valkyrie Orcus.

"Then, we've got to wing this out, guys. Unless you and Sailor Moon can make a miracle for us?" Omega X asked Houou Mars.

"We'll do what we can," Houou Mars nodded.

"We won't let you down!" Dai-Valkyrie Moon added with determination.

Suddenly, everyone heard Black Gaiamon X callously laughing above them. They turned around and watched him descend near them. The merged being gazed at them with fierce judgment.

"You heathens have walked on this scorched planet for too long. I shall purge you and build a new utopia in place of this ruined mortal plane. Then, I shall spread my utopia in my universe and wipe out all the filthy mortals who'd want to desecrate it." Black Gaiamon X decreed. "As it stands, none of you are fit to walk into my utopia."

"Ugh, I'm tired you spewing all that nonsense! Say all that in our faces!" Metalla X spat out.

"See what I mean? Now, let's initiate the Zero Dawn Plan, which will eradicate all mortal life from this planet!" Black Gaiamon X declared.

"This planet has nothing to do with you or us! They didn't deserve this!" Angemon X scornfully chastised him.

"First, you have to defeat us!" Metalla X roared as he flew up to meet Black Gaiamon X.

(Cue Dragon Ball FighterZ OST - Zamasu (Fused) Theme)

"Yamato!" Omega X called out as he went after him.

"FATHER!" Angemon X shouted.

"MATT!" Mimi cried out to him.

As the two Ascendants flew at him at top speeds, Black Gaiamon X anticipated them. The white halo behind him glowed with intense light.

"Foolish mortals!" Black Gaiamon X shouted. He raised both arms and rained down streams of lavender bolts at the two Ascendants.

The Ascendants narrowly evaded Black Gaiamon X's blasts. Metalla X then quickly fired energy beams head-on with Black Gaiamon X, who seemingly took the blasts. When the smoke stirred and cleared, Black Gaiamon X was revealed to be unscathed and protected by his divine light.

"Ugh, you're like a cockroach!" Metalla X snarled at the merged being.

"Lowly Ascendants, do you still deny the inevitable?" Black Gaiamon X queried. "Perhaps a better demonstration should make you face the truth?!" He invoked the power from his white halo as a wall of lavender light spread and formed into a wall. This wall took the shape of a massive bird.

Even though it was an immaterial being, it roared an unearthly screech. The ethereal ki bird, also known as the Wall of Light, hovered behind him.

"What in the hell is that?!" Omega X exclaimed.

"Mars, that looks like the Houou!" Moon exclaimed, quickly turning to her friend, who was aghast.

"Yeah, it does, but I know a counterfeit when we see one!" Houou Mars responded as her eyes burned red. Cosmic flames erupted from her body as she formed her Houou cloak, which looked as impressive as before.

"Now watch all of you as I breathe the life of a new age into this world," Black Gaiamon X whispered in a powerful voice. It sounded majestic tinged with a malignant tone. "Now behold!" He invoked his divine bird's power as a massive thunderbolt shot and blasted Metalla X away.

"YAMATO!" Omega X screamed, barely able to perceive Black Gaiamon X's incoming attack.

"Your time is up, Taichi!" Black Gaiamon X turned his next attack on Omega X and blasted him away with Absolute Lightning, too.

Having been blasted by Black Gaiamon X's attack, the force shattered the Courageous Hope Armor and knocked him face first to the ground. Sora and Mimi quickly raced over to their boyfriends. Sora shook Omega X. Mimi tried waking up Metalla X.

"Uncle Tai! Grandpa Matt!" Athena X cried as she ran over to them.

"C'mon, Matt, wake up!" Mimi shook him.

"Is he going to be ok, grandma?" Athena X asked the Bearer of Sincerity.

"I don't know, honey. He took that blast pretty badly."

"Athena, you need to get Sora and Mimi away from there!" Sedna called to her.

"Hold on, I'm not leaving! I need to stay and defend Tai," Sora insisted to stay with Omega X.

"Sor...a… you need to get away from here. He'll easily kill you…!" Omega X barely came to. "And besides, you can't… you're holding…"

Sora was reminded of being pregnant. "I know."

Hearing this, Mimi kinda got the vague clue, but said nothing. She looked over Metalla X.

"Now to remove the land and cleanse it of all that is impure! So begins the jubilee heralding the arrival of a whole new world!" Black Gaiamon X declared as his Wall of Light fired multiple rays that shredded the earth and split sections in two. He wiped out several cityscapes and caused fires to spread. In the areas where the earth split, lava shot out like pillars of fire.

The once lively metropolis was being reduced to a post apocalyptic landscape. The already blackened skies brimmed with lightning and turbulent weather activity. The whole world was being greatly altered by Black Gaiamon X's divine presence.

Angemon X started by evacuating most of the others, namely Sora, Mimi, Phoenixmon, Rosemon, Athena X, and others to safety. Moon, Houou Mars, the Advanced Biomergers, Kaimodosu X, and the Kuipers stayed behind to hold off Black Gaiamon X's devastating attacks. Madoka stayed behind to heal Dramon X.

Beerusmon, Whismon, Shintomon, Gowasmon, Rumsshimon, and Cusmon observed the calamity being caused by Black Gaiamon X's presence alone.

"This is such horror!" Shintomon exclaimed.

"How could you do this, Zamasmon?!" Gowasmon was horrified by his former pupil's actions.

"You," Beerusmon turned to Shintomon. "Don't you have some earrings to deliver?"

"Oh yes, sir. My father wanted me to give them the Fuseha earrings! I have to get going!" Shintomon flew away.

"Shall we follow then?" Whismon asked Beerusmon.

"Might as well."

Rumsshimon stopped Gowasmon for a moment. "When this is all over, we're going to have a serious talk about pupil selections."

Nodding regretfully, Gowasmon sighed. "Yes, Lord Rushiimon."

xxxxx

Casting his sights on his adversaries, Black Gaiamon X cackled. "This is the definition of justice. Power, wisdom, flame and light return with vengeance to consecrate this lewd and vile planet. And now this ugly stained world stained by the violent plague known as mortal kind will be remade born of divinity by divinity. It shall be paradise sanctified!"

"You don't get to decide that!" Moon declared as she whipped out her sword and sent a concentrated beam from its hilt.

As the beam collided with Black Gaiamon X's divine aura, the merged being snarled and waved his hand, sending a shockwave that pushed Moon back.

"Sailor Moon!" Houou Mars called out as she shot up to send a wave of cosmic flames at the merged being. She watched as Black Gaiamon X's bird aura fired Absolute Lightning. He aimed for Moon, who was getting up. "No, move!"

Before the blast could connect, Dai-Valkyrie Sedna and the other Kuipers formed a barrier, protecting Moon from Black Gaiamon X's attack. Sedna's ice barrier combined with Varuna's Mjolnir lightning formed a near impenetrable wall to protect them and Moon.

"Thank goodness," Houou Mars was relieved. Then, as she turned, she got struck by Absolute Lightning. However, the Houou cloak provided enough defense that allowed her to survive and absorb most of the merged being's attack. She fired back with a devastating pyrokinetic blast that ripped through the lavender bird's left wing.

"A mortal like you has no business wielding a divine power! I'll destroy you and take that cosmic power as my own!" Black Gaiamon X declared, turning his next attack on Houou Mars.

(End theme)

"No! Your fight is still with us!" Omega X called out as he and Metalla X stood up ready to fight again. "We're done yet!"

"You're going to have to go through me first!" Metalla X exclaimed.

"Heh, you cretins refuse to acknowledge your limits," Black Gaiamon X said. "Perhaps it will finally sink in when my power tears you into pieces."

"Oh, shut it! You should know Ascendants don't have stupid limits!" Metalla X boasted as he powered up back to Super Ascendant Blue.

Likewise, Omega X powered up with a radiant blue aura. "Let's charge him with full power!"

"OmegaSyndramon, your assistance is required," Black Gaiamon X requested.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Fistfight Battle)

Answering the divine being's order, OmegaSyndramon rose and powered up. A black aura erupted and materialized over the last Shadow Dramon. As he powered up, the ground shook and split in various places. OmegaSyndramon charged straight into the two Super Ascendant Blues. As he collided with them, they flew straight into the air instead and turned their assault on Balck Gaiamon X.

Miffed he was ignored, OmegaSyndramon prepared to blast the two Ascendant Blues. "You rude chimps!"

Boom!

Kaimodosu X AM intervened and blasted the Shadow Dramon's back. As OmegaSyndramon turned, Kaimodosu X AM rolled herself into a ball and zipped around him fast. He fired multiple finger beams, but none were able to hit their mark. Kaimodosu X AM immediately zipped around OmegaSyndramon X and collided with his face. After knocking him over, Kaimodosu X AM landed a flying kick into his abdomen, causing him to double over.

"Y-You… annoying pest!" OmegaSyndramon roared as he went on the attack and chased Kaimodosu X.

Then, Guilkatomon interceded OmegaSyndramon and kept the Shadow Dramon at bay. Guilkatomon rushed at OmegaSyndramon and blasted with his Hazard Wave. The attack collided and exploded against OmegaSyndramon, who walked through the smoke cloud.

"Feh, you eyesores are getting bothersome," OmegaSyndramon growled with frustration. He cautiously eyed Guilkatomon and Kaimodosu X AM.

Meanwhile, the Super Ascendant Blues headed straight up for another round with the merged being. Black Gaiamon X responded by conjuring hundreds of energy beams from his spirit bird. His Absolute Lightning blasts hit their mark, supposedly taking down the Ascendant Blues. Then, to his surprise, he felt a presence and turned around. Omega X and Metalla X quickly collided with his lavender bird. They both unleashed a combined force that nullified his giant bird.

"Impossible!" Black Gaiamon X was in shock as his spirit bird destabilized.

Omega X and Metalla X then shot up on Black Gaiamon X's opposite sides. They went for straight jabs, but the merged being caught their fists with ease.

"The lack of reverence you two exhibit for trying to land your hands upon a god! It is the most inexcusable kind of sin!" Black Gaiamon X chastised the Ascendants. He clenched his hands over their fists and crushed their hands. While doing so, he discharged divine energy to inflict even more pain and anguish on them. "Gods are supposed to look down mortals. You insignificant beings are not meant to touch our flesh so casually. And yet despite that fact, you have committed countless acts of humiliation against me. Those are transgressions punishable by death!" He then discarded the Ascendants and sent them flying back.

Black Gaiamon X then summoned multiple portals. From these portals, hundreds of various swords of all shapes and sizes emerged. armed with swords. With a beckoning of his hand, down came his Blades of Judgment at the Ascendants. They evaded as many of the blades as they could. Followed by these swords came energy blades. Many collided with the Ascendants and exploded, sending them crashing down.

(End theme)

Black Gaiamon X laughed over his adversaries. "Now, stay down, mortals, and witness the great purging!"

As he resummoned his Wall of Light, a second lavender bird sat on top of a towering and twisted 110 foot high statue-esque pillar. It had majestic-looking statues, each with Zamasmon's faces and effigies, except for a white tiger head at the middle section of the pillar that had a naked Zamasmon figure.

"What in the hell…?" Varuna gasped in shock as she and the others evoked the same shocked reactions.

"Talk about loving yourself too much, but this is ridiculous," Guilkatomon remarked.

"Hey, something's happening to him!" Kaimodosu X AM pointed to OmegaSyndramon, whose body started glowing with black light.

OmegaSyndramon's body seemed to respond to Black Gaiamon X's divine presence for whatever reason. Then, the Digicore on his center chest glowed immensely.

"I've augmented your power again, creature. Now do what you must to turn the tide of this battle," Black Gaiamon X instructed. "But, this will be the last time to prove your worth to me."

Miffed by Black Gaiamon X's lack of reverence for him, the Shadow Dramon elected to continue abiding to the divine being's demands.

"I call forth the other Digicores to me! Grant my wish to crush these insects at once!" OmegaSyndramon invoked the powers of the other Digicores.

"Don't tell me he intends to revive the Shadow Dramons our friends just beat!" Kaimodosu X exclaimed.

(Cue JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders OST - Tension)

"Oh, it goes beyond that. Their powers will become one with me!" The Shadow Dramon roared and called upon the other Digicores.

xxxxx

One moment Izzy had Ragedramon's Digicore and the next it glowed in his hand. Before he could react, it flew out of his hands and headed straight for OmegaSyndramon's location. Donarmon, Inumuramon, Masaru & ShineGreymon BM, Ikuto & Ravemon BM, and Kyoko went after the floating Digicore.

xxxxx

Cody tried holding Hazedramon's Digicore tightly, but it flew out of his hands and headed for OmegaSyndramon. Yetimon, Meryl & Mastemon, and Larry pursued the Digicore.

xxxxx

At the same time, Ventimon lost Oceandramon's Digicore. The mystic object flew off into the distance where OmegaSydramon awaited to absorb it. Renrukimon, Ventimon, MirageGaogamon BM & Thomas, and Rosemon BM & Yoshi went after it.

xxxxx

When Nautrodramon's Digicore flew away, Taiki & Shoutmon X7, Terryamon, and Mami went after it.

xxxxx

Once Novadramon's Digicore flew away to OmegaSyndramon, Brunhilde hopped on MetalSeadramon's head. They headed straight for the Digicore. KaiserGreymon, Daike, Kara, and the Kaijuu Digimon followed her, too.

xxxxx

Eisdramon's Digicore shot out of BanchoLeomon BM's hand and headed toward OmegaSyndramon. BanchoLeomon BM, Pikkan, Sheila, MagnaGarurumon, YamiLeomon, and Skuld went after the Digicore.

xxxxx

As the six Digicores materialized around OmegaSyndramon, the evil Shadow Dramon swallowed the six pieces. As the pieces's energies coalesced inside the monster, six orbs of light appeared on his chest. Each resembled cracked black orbs.

"Great, he actually swallowed all of those Digicore pieces?!" Kaimodosu X exclaimed.

"Should've seen this one coming!" Guilkatomon added.

Omega X and Metalla X both stood up as they faced down OmegaSyndramon.

"Behold! This is my body with all seven Digicore pieces now apart of me! And with all six of the other Shadow Dramons's powers in me! You're now fighting a body with the power of all seven!" OmegaSyndramon boasted, showing off his full-powered form.

"All seven of you are now one?" Omega X gritted. "Great, this is getting better, isn't it?"

Metalla X scoffed. "Surely we can take you."

"Can you?" Black Gaiamon X chimed in as he floated next to OmegaSyndramon. "Why don't you demonstrate?"

"Which one of you wants to take the first shot at me?!" OmegaSyndramon beckoned his opponents.

"Actually, I have a better idea," the merged being smirked as he sent a beam of purple light that enveloped OmegaSyndramon.

"What is the meaning of this?!" OmegaSyndramon roared as the purple light covered him.

"I'm granting you a power more suited for my needs. We're not going to waste any time playing with these mortal insects," Black Gaiamon X suggested as OmegaSyndramon's body violently shook as he started changing into a new form.

"Everyone, get back!" Omega X called out to Moon, Houou Mars, and the Kuipers. He and Metalla X followed them.

Sedna and Orcus noticed Madoka still with Dramon X. They went over to Madoka and helped her carry Dramon X away.

"I'm almost done healing him," Madoka informed them.

"Thanks, Madoka, but we can't keep brother laying here."

Orcus shook Dramon X. "C'mon, you have to wake up, Ken! We're in deep trouble here!" She got no response as Dramon X remained out of it.

Thanks to Black Gaiamon X's presence, OmegaSyndramon, fused with all the Digicores, became a colossal 70-foot long serpentine dragon. He resembled a grayish-scaled malignant variation of Shenron with thick, bony black horns. Seven, dark blue shadow orbs encompassed his neck. The size of this behemoth was a sight to behold as he covered half of the vicinity he hovered over. He became OmegaSyndramon Darkness Mode.

OmegaSyndramon DM let out a loud monstrous roar that shook the city to its core.

"YES! THANK YOU, ZAMASMON! WITH THIS ENORMOUS BODY, I CAN SPREAD MY NEGATIVE ENERGY AT A FASTER RATE!" Bellowed the giant evil dragon.

Needless to say, most of the heroes gawked in aghast at the monstrous being. Despite being shocked state of mind they were in, the united forces stood firmly ready for the big fight.

Just then, Renrukimon, Terryamon, Inumuramon, the Legendary Warriors, Brunhilde & MetalSeadramon, Skuld, Kirito (Corner), and Asuna (Corner) arrived on the battlefield.

"Guys, thank goodness you're here!" Guilkatomon called out to Renrukimon, Terryamon, and Inumuramon.

"Sorry to keep ya waiting, we got a little sidetracked," Renrukimon replied.

"And no surprise the last Shadow Dramon amassed the Digicores to turn himself into a big ass dragon," Terryamon quipped in Terriermon's voice.

"Yeah, this is going to be a tough fight for all of us!" KaiserGreymon said.

OmegaSyndramon DM opened his mouth and launched a volley of orange-yellow energy spheres all over the vicinity. Each orb exploded and devastated sections of the vicinity the heroes stood on. The Advanced Biomergers, the Legendary Warriors, Kaimodosu X AM, Kirito (Corner), and Asuna (Corner) spread out retaliating with blasts on the behemoth.

While this is going down, Brunhilde & MetalSeadramon and Skuld took it upon themselves to challenge Black Gaiamon X.

"Be careful, Kotori! The Black Ascendants and Zamasmon have combined into one!" Omega X warned her.

Turning her attention to Black Gaiamon X, the Valkyrie scoffed. "You're enjoying this so much, aren't you?!" Brunhilde chastised the merged being. "I don't know how you guys managed to merge into one, but I don't freaking care! We're taking you down!"

Black Gaiamon X chortled ever so calmly. "You mortals never learn. Fine, let's have it at then."

"Ready, Skuld?!" Brunhilde called out as she and the Underworld Valkyrie flew up to fight Black Gaiamon X.

Much the same way he did with the Ascendants, the merged being sent more Blades of Judgment at the Valkyries. MetalSeadramon defended Brunhilde and unleashed his River of Power. However, the blades punched through his water blast and collided with him.

"MetalSeadramon!" Brunhilde shouted as she conjured Gungnir and hit Black Gaiamon X with it.

Skuld followed up by sending chained spears at the merged being.

With a hand wave, Black Gaiamon X casually swept the two Valkyries back. However, Brunhilde and Skuld didn't stop there. Brunhilde unleashed a Valhalla Frozen Inferno. Skuld imbued her scythe with greenish flames and slashed him with her weapon. Another lavender aura erupted and formed another wall to stop Skuld's attack.

"Drop your stupid barrier and I'll flay you alive!" Skuld threatened in a dark and menacing tone.

"And you're just proof mortals that mortals must be purged. I can see you two possess the souls of divine beings and yet you utilize their gifts bestowed to you to fight a god like me?! Your ancestors would be ashamed!" Black Gaiamon X chided the two Valkyries.

"Yeah?! Well, we don't give a fuck what you think of us?! The Valkyries who died before have been reborn through us!" Brunhilde snapped. "And we've been revived to stop psychopaths on power trips like you!"

"Revolting!" Black Gaiamon X sneered as his face conveyed disgust. He discharged energy blasts that repelled the Valkyries.

MetalSeadramon few up catching Brunhilde and Skuld in his mouth.

(End theme)

"Who else wants another shot at me…?!" Before the merged being can finish, someone with a sword came swinging at him. He managed to catch the blade in time and saw it was Angemon X with his sword already drawn. "Dimitri?!"

"Yes, I'm back! I didn't run away like you thought I did!" Angemon X shot an intense glare into Black Gaiamon X's eyes.

"Heh, makes no difference! You're just one man against the four of us!" Black Gaiamon X boasted.

"Make that three since Black Dramon X is probably still out of commission inside you!"

Pulling his hands away, Black Gaiamon X punched Angemon X away and sent him crashing to the ground. Angemon X landed on his feet. Black Gaiamon X then tossed the warrior's sword to him, which narrowly flew past him and cut his left cheek. The sword hit the ground with the blade stuck in the earth.

"Dimitri!" Sedna called out.

"Don't worry, Athena is safe now with the others! We can focus on killing Zamasmon!" Angemon X replied.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - An Antagonistic Battle)

As he raised a hand, Black Gaiamon X forged a dark golden energy orb in his right hand. He quickly launched his Holy Wrath at Angemon X's way. Angemon X fired back with his father's technique: the Cocytus Blast. The two attacks collided with immense force and shook the area around them.

"You have already lost, Dimitri!" Black Gaiamon X taunted the future warrior.

Hearing this, Angemon X felt Black Gaiamon X's power overtaking him. His feet started to side back against the massive Holy Wrath.

"Never! I'll never give up! Everyone's counting on me!"

Just then, Metalla X approached his left side.

"That's right, Dimitri. You show him."

"Father?!"

"Hey, Zamasmon! Here's some free advice, don't underestimate mortals, and especially not Ascendants!" Metalla X then fired his Cocytus Blast and combined it with Angemon X's.

With the father and son duo taking on the merged being, the beam struggle became less strenuous for future warrior. Now with Metalla X aiding him, he had a fighting chance.

However, Black Gaiamon X's calm state started to fracture. "No matter how many of you mortals band together, you cannot prevail against the power of my light!" He augmented his Holy Wrath, which started pushing back the father and son's beams.

"C'mon, Dimitri! This is Matt talking! Give it all you've got!" Metalla X encouraged his son, briefly alternating with 'Yamato' for this moment.

"Sure thing!" Angemon X called out.

Once he gathered more Ki, he helped push back against Black Gaiamon X's sphere.

"What?!"

"This is the power of mortals!" Angemon X screamed.

"AUGH!" Black Gaiamon X wailed as the Father-Son Cocytus Blast overtook and consumed him.

Boom!

An explosion erupted where Black Gaiamon X floated. Smoke clouds shrouded the sky. Both Angemon X and Metalla X dropped to their knees while panting and recollecting themselves.

(End theme)

"Good work, we've got him," Metalla X panted.

"We sure did!"

The Bearer of Friendship smiled. "I'm proud of you my son."

However, their father and son bond ceased when they glared in aghast when Black Gaiamon X emerged behind the thinning veil of smoke. He seethed with anger by their last attack.

Metalla X snarled. His mind quickly alternated back with Yamato. "Oh, c'mon! Stay down you invincible son of a bitch! Dimitri and I didn't put in all that work just so you can dick with us!"

"Insolent fools, you'll pay for that with your lives!" Black Gaiamon X bellowed furiously, preparing to toss an energy wave at them, but a Tsunami Wave came hurtling his direction.

Black Gaiamon X casually dodged the blue Ki wave and sighted Omega X with his hands cupped to his right side. The merged being then saw Dai-Valkyrie Moon and Houou Mars floating up near him.

(Cue Fate/Zero OST - Unrest)

Putting a palm to his face, Black Gaiamon X resisted the flip out of anger. Instead, he cooled off and started chuckling. The chuckling became soft laughter. Soft laughter turned into malignant laughter. That sinister laugh became an insane cackle that sent chills down the spines of his adversaries. As he laughed, the skies started to darken. A dark aura radiated off Black Gaiamon X, causing the clouds in the sky turned black. These clouds morphed and shaped into Zamasmon's. These Zamasmon cloud faces filled the atmosphere with maliciously insane laughter.

"What the hell?!" Omega X was taken aback by this phenomenon.

"He's transformed the sky adding his own visage!" Angemon X realized.

"Yes, and at the rate we're going he'll turn this world into an image of himself," Whismon chimed in.

The group turned around and saw the Digi-Deities. Whismon, Beerusmon, Russhimon, Cusmon, and Gowasmon appeared on top of a viewing platform.

"Whismon! Beerusmon!" Omega X called out.

"And Gowasmon?" Angemon X noticed. "But, who are those other two?"

Beerusmon scanned the sky and snorted. "Zamasmon's starting to become a true eyesore."

Suddenly, the Advanced Biomergers, the Legendary Warriors, Kaimodosu X, Kirito (Corner), and Asuna (Corner) fell hard as OmegaSyndramon DM made short work of them. The giant dragon floated through the Zamasmon face clouds and roared triumphantly.

"Man, that guy was too strong for us!" Guilkatomon exclaimed. "Tai, what are we going to do now?!"

"Susanoomon just might be enough to turn the tide against that big dragon!" KaiserGreymon suggested to the other Legendary Warriors.

"Well, if only we could try the Meta-Fusion, but I doubt Yamato here wants to do that," Omega X suggested an alternative plan to Metalla X.

"Hn, no way. I've seen that stupid dance. That's enough for me to say 'no'."

"Taichi! Yamato!" Shintomon's voice called out. The Ascendants and others turned to see Shintomon fly over to them with the Fusesha earrings.

"Shintomon!" Omega X called to him.

"Did I just hear you mention Fusion? Then, take these! They're the Fusesha earrings my father wanted you to have! This way you're able to fuse once again to fight on Zamasmon's level." Shintomon suggested.

"Great timing, Shintomon! Tell Shinmon my regards!" Omega X called out. "Look, yamato. Now we don't have to do the Meta-Fusion pose!"

Shintomon forewarned them. "However, these earrings were just modified to have a time limit. They don't have the same powers that the original ones had before. We didn't ever take into account we'd ever need them for another crisis."

"It's ok! Thanks Shintomon! Time doesn't matter to me, we'll stop Zamasmon as soon as possible!" Omega X accepted as he placed on his earrings. He tossed one to Metalla X, who hesitated but grabbed it in time.

"Do we have to fuse again?" Metalla X briefly complained while putting on his earring pair.

"Quit complaining, Yamato. Matt would agree this is a good idea Now let's do this!" Omega X answered.

Both Omega X and Metalla X placed on their Fusesha earrings, which caused the two to instantly merge into one being.

"Alright, they've fused! Now the tides are gonna turn!" Guilkatomon happily said.

"Let's hope so, Takato," KaiserGreymon added.

Brunhilde barely awoke to witness the Fuseha earrings merge the two Ascendants. "Yeah, now this is going to be sweet!"

(Cue Dragon Ball Kai Buu Saga OST - Super Saiyan Three)

A flash of light enveloped the two Ascendants. In place of both is none other than Kaiser X. Kaiser X has a mix of Omega X and Metalla X's combined features. His spiky hair is dark brown, almost black from a far distance, with two bangs sticking out in a downward 'V' shape. Some blond streaks are visibly seen on the sides of his head. On his ears, he has the two Fusesha earrings. He's now wearing dark blue pants and a matching colored shirt with an orange undershirt. Other accessories also include white gloves and boots. Embroidered on his back are the symbols of Courage and Friendship. The same symbols, now intersecting with each other, flared on his forehead.

"Alright!" Kaiser X yelled out as he jumped on top of a pile of debris. He instantly glared down Black Gaiamon X.

"Incredible, father and Tai have combined again!" Angemon X enthusiastically yelled out.

"And only the second time since they used them against the evil D-Reaper! But I'm not complaining!" Sedna added with a genuine smile.

Black Gaiamon X quietly glared down Kaiser X. "And who are you?"

"You created a fusion with different people, so we did the same to even the playing field," Kaiser X replied in a Tai and Yamato's conjoined voices. "We're a merged fighter! A combination of Taichi and Yamato! I could be Yaichi, Taimato, Maichi, or whatever, but you can call us Kaiser X to make things easy. Or, if you prefer and just for something new."

Wasting no time, Kaiser X yelled and powered up to Super Ascendant Blue with his dark brown hair becoming cyan. A cyan aura, shaped like Omegamon, flared around the warrior like a mighty inferno.

"Kaiser X Blue!"

"Kaiser X, the being that bested Mystic Super-Reaper. What can you do to scratch a divine being such as I?!" Black Gaiamon X taunted.

"Heh, I suppose we'll just have to see, won't we?" Kaiser X replied with a confident smirk. He beckoned Black Gaiamon X to attack him. "Let's see what you're made of!"

"Powerful as you are, you're still not a god!" Black Gaiamon X flew at Kaiser X and fired a Holy Wrath at his direction.

Kaiser X flew up and evaded the destructive blast. Before it can hit the others, Moon and Houou Mars stopped the attack. The latter of which used her Houou cloak to nullify the destructive blast.

"Is everyone ok?!" Moon called to the others.

"We are now. Thanks, you two!" Guilkatomon said.

"Kuipers, let's invoke our Golden forms!" Sedna suggested.

"Tamers, let's combine and form Golden Kirin!" Guilkatomon declared.

"Time to bring out Susanoomon!" KaiserGreymon announced.

The Sailor Senshi (Moon, Sedna, Orcus, Varuna, Quaoar, Eris, Ixion), except Houou Mars, transformed into their Golden Senshi forms. Their entire clothing and armor wear flashed with majestic gold.

The Advanced Beast Tamers (Guilkatomon, Renrukimon, Terryamon, and Inumuramon) combined to become the Super Golden Kirin, a 100 foot high golden-skinned Kirin with a long neck. It had a single horn jutting out of the forehead. He had long whiskers. Its mane instead of its usual gold was now cyan. An armor plating was fitted on the beast's chest. The armor had embroidered symbols of the phoenix, the dragon, the white tiger, and the two-headed turtle. The Tamers formed into the Super Golden Kirin.

The Legendary Warriors combined their Spirits to form Susanoomon, except there was a massive cyan flame covering him. Their enhanced Spirits allowed for a more powerful variation to come into being: Super Susanoomon.

Brunhilde and Skuld stood ready to fight.

"Ready to kick ass, Skuld?"

"Let's do it!"

Dai-Valkyrie Brunhilde invoked her ultimate form. Brunhilde's blue hair changed to platinum blond with rainbow traits at the end of the hair's tip, the feathered helmet is replaced with a small golden headdress crown, her armor changed to a silver-platinum build with a white dress that have blue silhouettes of Grani and Seadramon. Brunhilde's dark blue wings have expanded and covered in fire/ice. She righteously brandished her own sword. She became the Silver Valkyrie.

Like Sigrun, Gondul, and Skogul before her, Skuld invoked her Titled form. Skuld's red highlights in her albino hair are replaced by blackness. Her helmet was replaced by a black circlet with a small red gem centered on it. The skull-faced gem on her neck choker morphed into a female visage that resembled her ancestral mother Hela. The lower part of her body gained an obsidian dress with a red silhouette of Garm. The bondage chains from her black wings are released and dangled freely with sharp blades at the end of each tip. She grasped her scythe. She had become the Obsidian Valkyrie.

Black Gaiamon X didn't budge an inch as Kaiser X Blue, the Golden Senshi, Houou Mars, Super Golden Kirin, SuperSusanoomon, Silver Brunhilde, and the Obsidian Valkyrie surrounded him. He looked to the sky where OmegaSyndramon DM floated through the Zamasmon cloud faces. He then remembered his Wall of Light and 110 foot high statue-esque pillar.

"I'm afraid I still have aces up my sleeve. Or, need I remind you of the other obstacles you must overcome?" Black Gaiamon X pointed them to OmegaSyndramon DM, the Wall of Light, and the Zamasmon cloud faces.

"He's right everyone," Madoka chimed in as she finished healing Dramon X.

"Is brother ok now?" Golden Sedna asked the pink-haired Puella woman.

"Yes, he'll be able to fight now," Madoka genuinely smiled.

Dramon X slowly came to and got up, seemingly good as new. He turned and faced Black Gaiamon X's direction.

"Oh, so you brought him back? No matter, Kenneth-!" Before he can finish, Dramon X quickly flew up and punched Black Gaiamon X hard enough to send him sliding back.

Taken aback by Dramon X's renewed strength, Black Gaiamon X scowled.

"And that was me barely waking up! Call me that name again and I'm shoving your head straight up your ass!" Dramon X menacingly threatened the merged being.

(End theme)

Kaiser X chuckled. "Hey, welcome back, Ken. Enjoyed your nap?"

"Wish I can say it was refreshing. By the way, thanks, Madoka."

"Your welcome!" Madoka nodded.

"No matter! It makes no difference! You're all going to fall the same way!" Black Gaiamon X angrily snapped. Slowly but surely his mental state started to deteriorate.

Veering over to the 110 foot tall pillar with the Zamasmon statues, Beerusmon and Whismon became deeply suspicious.

"See that, Whismon?"

"Yes, Lord Beerusmon. That's not something I'd expect Zamasmon to conjure with his own power. This looks to be the work of…" Whismon frowned as he turned to Russhimon and Cusmon. "Perhaps you'd like to give us a hand to bring that down pillar?"

"So, you suspect this was the work of the one behind those anomalous agents you've warned us about?" Russhimon asked Whismon.

"Indeed, I do, which is why we must eliminate that pillar."

Beerusmon sighed. "Normally gods like us don't get involved in these mortal affairs, but…" His face conveyed a serious outlook on the situation. "Since it's now apparent Zamasmon is getting this power from the anomalous agents's mastermind, this a matter even us gods cannot simply ignore. Whismon!"

"Yes, understood," Whismon raised his staff and invoked its power. He then used the staff's power to combine himself and Beerusmon.

Surprisingly, Beerusmon and Whismon fused to become a singular being that has the physical appearance of Beerusmon, but with Whismon's skin color and wearing his uniform. He is called Whirusmon.

"No way, even Lords Beerusmon and Whismon are getting involved in the action?!" Angemon X exclaimed.

Kaiser X smirked. "Trying to show us off, my lords?"

Whirusmon frowned. "Unlike you two, we're not here to showboat. We're heading over to check that pillar since it's been bothering us."

"What's the deal with that pillar?" Golden Moon wondered.

"I don't know, but I'm sensing a disturbing darkness. It's been bothering me and the Houou ever since Zamasmon summoned it," Houou Mars said.

Black Gaiamon X noted this and scoffed, "So that's all you have? Even Beerusmon gets desperate enough to fuse with his attendant to match my divine power. Like I said, it won't make a difference! The Zero Dawn Plan is in full swing!"

"We'll see about that!" Kaiser X pointed at Black Gaiamon X.

"Now, shall we commence this dance?" Black Gaiamon X raised his arms in mid-air as he and Kaiser X exchanged a flurry of blows.

Meanwhile, OmegaSyndramon descended from the clouds and rained down energy blasts that wiped out sections of the vicinity.

"Let's split up! Some of us can help Kaiser X. Another group can give Lord Beerusmon and Whismon some support. The rest of us tries to take that giant dragon down!" SuperSusanoomon suggested. "Golden Kirin and I are heading for the pillar!"

"Then, we'll join you, too," Golden Moon offered.

"Likewise, besides the Houou refuses to let Beerusmon show her up," Houou Mars added.

"We'll go, too," Golden Varuna and Golden Quaoar added.

With that, SuperSusanoomon, Super Golden Kirin, Golden Moon, Houou Mars, Golden Varuna, Golden Quaoar, Golden Eris, and Golden Ixion headed straight for the Wall of Light and the Zamasmon pillar.

Angemon X, Golden Sedna, Dramon X, Golden Orcus, and Madoka headed for Kaiser X Blue's fight with Black Gaiamon X.

Silver Brunhilde, MetalSeadramon, Odisidian Skuld, Kaimodosu X AM, Kirito (Corner), and Asuna (Corner) headed off to engage OmegaSyndramon DM.

The Duelists closed on the Wall of Light and Zamasmon statuesque pillar. They marveled at the sheer size of the idol statue that gave off a sinister aura.

"I don't like the looks of this," Yugi noted.

"Hey, look! It's our friends!" Téa pointed to SuperSusanoomon, Super Golden Kirin, Golden Moon, Houou Mars, and the Golden Kuipers preparing to attack the Wall of Light.

"Let's go see if they need a hand!" Joey suggested.

"Right, let's go!" Yugi nodded.

As they headed closer, the ground shook under them. Then, a series of tentacled arms sprouted from the ground and ensnared them.

"Hey, what's going on?!" Téa cried out, feeling the tentacles tightening their hold on her.

"Put us down this instant!" Seto demanded as a tentacle grabbed his neck and choked on him. "Or, just me so I can incinerate you!"

"Oh, you'd love that and to see your friends perish, too?" The laughter of Nyarla filled them with dread.

"No, it can't be, but we destroyed you!" Yugi exclaimed.

(Cue Persona 2 OST - Nyarlathotep the Crawling Chaos)

"Yeah, sorry to get your hopes up, but I'm not dead. FAR FROM IT IN FACT!" Nyarla shouted as he finally popped out of the ground. Over ten long tentacled arms sprouted from his back. Four of these arms binded the Duelists. "I wasn't going to miss Zamasmon's Zero Dawn party! So, here I am! And so far, he's making good on his promise! Black skies, laughing evil cloud faces, and a giant idol statue dedicated to yourself? Not bad, I say."

"Let us go!" Yugi roared.

"Oh, I'm sorry. No can do, but it's been real!" Nyarla chuckled as his tentacles squeezed the four Duelists to death. "I'll be sure to remember your wonderful faces!" He firmly have the four Duelists at his mercy and prepared to end their lives at any given moment.

That is until, a glowing projectile sliced through these tentacles and blew them into bits. As the four Duelists were broken loose, Nyarla turned to find the culprit. It was Larry Stonebagel, who had several cards in hand.

"Heh, sorry if I spoiled the party," Larry coolly smirked as he tossed energy-imbued cards at Nyarla, who responded by blasting each one with eye beams.

"Thanks, Larry!" Yugi said.

"Yeah, we owe ya one, Lar!" Joey waved to him.

"Now, I'm going to kill you for that humiliation!" Seto declared as he readied a Duel Monster card.

"So glad you can join us, Larry. Now we can take down Nyarla for good this time!" Yugi whipped out a Duel Monster card.

As golden light enveloped him, Nyarla grew into a 35-foot tall behemoth. More tentacles sprouted from his back.

"Now let's see how you'll do against me now!" Nyarla bellowed.

"For starters, you've made yourself a bigger threat. Fine with me," Seto remarked.

xxxxx

Elsewhere, Sora, Mimi, and their Digimon partners reconvened with Izzy, Joe, Cody, and Yolei, and their partners. Marty, Haru & his friends, and the Appmon were among others with them.

"Thank goodness you're all ok," Izzy was relieved to see Sora, Mimi, and the others.

"Dimitri told us to lay low while they're out there fighting," Sora said. "And since I'm the strongest Ascendant here, I feel me and the Digimon can defend you guys."

Haru nodded. "Thank you and we were able to find our families. They've sealed in these weird orbs."

Joe offered. "Then, we can go help you free them."

"Um, Sora…" Mimi glanced over her shoulder.

"What is it, Mimi?"

"Athena… she's gone."

"What?!" The Bearer of Love became mortified.

xxxxx

Having given Sora and the others the sip, Athena X suppressed her Ki and flew away to instinctively rejoin her family.

"Mom, dad, uncle Tai, grandpa Matt, Meryl, I'm not going to let you all fight those bad guys alone!"

(Cue Dragon Ball Super - Goku Black Theme (Unofficial) – EnigmaTNG)

Kaiser X Blue and Black Gaiamon X had a brief mid-air scuffle. Kaiser X Blue shifted around Black Gaiamon X and dodged the merged being's strikes. Kaiser X Blue connected with a kick into Black Gaiamon X and sent him flying back. Black Gaiamon X then conjured his Sickle of Sorrow, using it to send a projectile that sliced through the dimensional fabric.

"What was that for…?! You missed!" Kaiser X Blue berated him.

"Look again," Black Gaiamon X chortled.

Kaiser X Blue veered as the sliced fabric released a rosé mist. This mist formed into the familiar form of Black Omega X Rosé. Another puff of smoke formed into Black Angemon X Rosé. Another mist cloud shaped into Black Dramon X Rosé. Many clones of the three Black Ascendants appeared.

"Now, can you see how Black Omega X was able to fight you in one place while another made off with the Digicore? Are you already putting two to two together?" Black Gaiamon X malevolently grinned.

Nodding, Kaiser X Blue snarled. "Yeah, we figured there was some clone trick involved, but now you've shown us proof." Then, he casually blasted the clones away with a beam. More reappeared from the rosé clouds. "Tch, this is going to get annoying."

"Don't worry, Tai! Backup is here!" Golden Sedna called out as she and her group arrived to even the odds.

"And we've brought more reinforcements!" Super Angemon X announced.

Super Angemon X, Golden Sedna, Dramon X, Golden Orcus, Masaru & ShineGreymon BM, Thomas & MirageGaogamon BM, Shoutmon X7, Madoka, and Kirito & Asuna (Corner) fought off the army of Black Ascendants.

Kaiser X Blue solitarily squared off with Black Gaiamon X. Kaiser X and Black Gaiamon X exchanged a flurry of punches and kicks. Kaiser X made some direct kicks, but Black Gaiamon X countered them. He grabbed Kaiser X Blue and tossed him around before flinging him far away. Black Gaiamon X floated up into the air.

After dispatching some Black Ascendant clones, Super Angemon X and Dramon X flew at Black Gaiamon X with a fiery fists, but Black Gaiamon X easily blocked them. He crushed them hands, smashed their hands together, and blasted them away. Shoutmon X7 used his mic weapon, while Black Gaiamon X used his Soul Infinity Blade and clashed with him. After a few blows, Black Gaiamon X flew through Shoutmon X7, turning into swirls of rosé light that pounded on and shredded through Shoutmon X7's defenses.

Black Gaiamon X phased behind Shoutmon X7 and lifts his scimitar. Following a few second delays, Shoutmon X7's body erupted into an explosive rosé light. Taiki, Kiriha, and Nene watched in horror as Shoutmon X7 crashed hard. Shoutmon X7 immediately split back into Shoutmon, Greymon, Dorulumon, Mervamon, and Sparrowmon.

"Sparrowmon! Mervamon!" Nene tended to her partners.

"No! Greymon!" Kiriha cried out in shock.

"Beat him down, Taichi and Yamato!" Taiki cheered.

ShineGreymon BM and MirageGaogamon BM took the initiative, firing blasts at Black Gaiamon X. Black Gaiamon X blocked all of them. From out of nowhere, Masaru jumped to punch Black Gaiamon X's face. Black Gaiamon X growled and grabbed Masaru's arm, swinging him around and tossing him at ShineGreymon BM and MirageGaogamon BM. All three are sent crashing to the ground. Black Gaiamon X coolly smiled as he then summoned multiple portals. More swords and blades emerged.

Waving his hand, his Blades of Judgment were launched at his opponents. Madoka, Golden Sedna, and Golden Orcus launched a barrage of light arrows, icicle spears, and black holes to destroy most of the swords. Kirito & Asuna (Corner) helped destroy and block the swords. They returned to fighting off the Black Ascendant clones. Madoka floated over to start sealing the fabric tear.

"Try as you might, but you are just wasting your time!" Black Gaiamon X cackled. He then noticed Madoka using her magic to seal the fabric tear. "First you heal that boy and now you wish to close up that tear? You've been a thorn in my side long enough, goddess!"

"Actually…!" Kaiser X Blue chimed in as he instantaneously teleported in front in Black Gaiamon X. He landed a roundhouse kick to Black Gaiamon X's face and knocked him away. "How about just shut up? Like right now?" He dove toward Black Gaiamon X and clashed with him again.

Elsewhere, two groups took on the giant Nyarla and the Wall of Light.

SuperSusanoomon & Super Golden Kirin, Golden Moon, Houou Mars, Golden Varuna, Golden Quaoar, Golden Eris, Golden Ixion, Kyoko, Mami, Whirusmon, Rumsshimon, and Cusmon engaged the grandiloquent but mysterious Wall of Light.

xxxxx

Yugi, Seto, Téa, Joey, and Larry took on the giant Nyarla. To help bolster their numbers, the four Duelists summoned monsters to fight the chaotic creature. Yugi brought out Dark Magician, Lord Gaia the Fierce Knight, Silent Swordsman, and Kuriboh. Seto summoned Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, and Deep-Eyes White Dragon. Téa summoned Dark Magician Girl, Berry Magician Girl, Lemon Magician Girl, Apple Magician Girl, Chocolate Magician Girl, and Kiwi Magician Girl, which she referred to as The SepteMagician Girls. Joey summoned Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Flame Swordsman.

"Come here!" Nyarla roared as he reached for Yugi first, but the Duelist evaded the monster's reach and beckoned his monsters to fire a barrage of attacks on him.

Yugi invoked Spirit Fusion to merge with his Dark Magician. He then led the charge against Nyarla. He fired Dark Magic Attack. When Nyara stopped Yugi's attack with his hand, he fired a mouth beam. Yugi then countered by using Multiply to reproduce a Kuriboh barrier, consisting of thousands of the fuzzy creatures. This helped to stop Nyarla's attacks, which only served to miff the chaotic entity.

"Of all the things, even I despise, it's those damn Kuribohs!" snarled Nyarla. He turned the other way as Seto directed Neo-Blue Eyes White Dragon fire blasts at him.

If that wasn't enough, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon and Deep-Eyes White Dragon fired mouth beams at Nyarla.

"Look who's the whipping boy now?!" Seto called out.

Téa, as Dark Magician, and her SepteMagician Girls fired magica beams toward Nyarla. Nyarla batted away most of their magical blasts, but a few managed to strike his chest. He was pushed back by their magical beam barrage. Joey invoked Spirit Fusion to merge with Flame Swordsman and rode on Red-Eyes Black Dragon. Red-Eyes Black Dragon launched fiery blasts that served to slow down Nyarla, but did nothing to stop him.

Larry was seen riding with Joey. He threw several energy charged cards that exploded on Nyarla's face, temporarily blinding him.

"Nice shot, Larry!" Joey high-fived Larry. "Hey, looks like we got him now!"

"NO!" Nyarla bellowed as he shot out tentacled arms to grab the Duelists and their monsters. One tentacle pushed Larry off the Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

"Larry!" Joey yelled as he dove over to catch him, but it was too late.

Larry plunged to the ground.

Seeing Larry fall, Golden Eris ceased her fighting against the Wall of Light and flew off toward him.

"Eris, wait!" Golden Ixion followed her toward Larry.

As Golden Eris dove in, she grabbed Larry and carried him.

"Thanks, Taylor!" Larry sighed with relief. "Though, I could've stopped my fall."

"Yeah, sure. With what? Your lucky cards?" Golden Eris giggled.

"My lucky cards."

"Heads up!" Golden Ixion called out as another tentacled arm headed Eris and Larry's way.

Golden Eris swerved around and spun a tornado-like attack, which knocked away Nyarla's tentacle arm.

Having grown irritated with his opponents, Nyarla widened his mouth and fired a beam at the Duelists. The Duelists managed to barely dodge as most of their monsters got wiped out.

"Damn, most of our monsters got wiped, Yug!" Joey shouted.

Yugi gritted. "Yes, and we're out of options. I knew I should've brought the Egyptian God monsters."

"We don't need them," Seto stated with confidence. He directed his Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon to fly over Nyarla.

The dark blue-scaled dragon expelled an immense blast with enough power to blow a hole through Nyarla's body. Nyarla was taken aback by this and tried to rebound, but another blast from the dragon stunned him.

"FOOLS! I AM A CHAOTIC BEING! NONE OF YOU CAN DESTROY ME!" Nyarla bellowed with fury. "Oh, and it'd take something like a cosmic being to destroy me, and since you don't got, you're screwed." His mood quickly changed as he spoke in a calm, matter-of-fact manner.

"Cosmic power? We got those in spades! You ready to end this?" Golden Eris asked Golden Ixion, who nodded in agreement.

Golden Eris and Golden Ixion combined their golden energies and fired a beam directly at Nyarla.

"I've got it! I've got!"

The chaotic creature tried to catch the golden rays with his tentacle hands, but the beam burned through his tentacles.

"Oh shit…"! Nyarla yelled out as the golden collided with him. As he turned to recover, Houou Mars suddenly appeared and flew right in front of him.

"Hi," Houou Mars coolly smiled.

"Ohhhh… I'm fucked, am I?"

"Royally," Houou Mars then unleashed a cosmic fire blast and obliterated Nyarla, who sang a happy song in his mind before his demise.

"Yeah, take that you freak!" Golden Eris shouted.

"Thanks for helping to finish the job for us," Golden Ixion acknowledged Houou Mars.

"Thank you, Mars!" Yugi called to her.

"Yeah, thanks for getting rid of that freak. Wait, please tell he's really gone," Joey looked around. "I ain't getting my hopes up."

Houou Mars sighed. "Don't worry. He's dead as a doornail. Want proof? Me and the Houou can't feel his presence anymore."

Seto and his dragon floated next to Houou Mars. "I could've killed him."

"Sure, but I'd rather finish the job than waste time. Since we're here," Houou Mars pointed toward the Wall of Light and Zamasmon pillar. "The others are going to need help."

"Then, let's get going," Yugi nodded. "Everyone to that statue!"

xxxxx

At the same time, the dark cloud with Zamasmon faces spewed multiple mouth lasers, wiping out sections of the city. Most of the heroes evaded the mouth lasers and fired their attacks at the Wall of Light. Whirusmon, Rumsshimon, and Cusmon bided their time as they assessed the Wall of Light entity.

The Zamasmon giant demon figure attached to the bottom of the Wall of Light roared and unleashed devastating rock edges from the ground at his opposition, but they evade them and fired some blasts at the figure. Super Golden Kirin and SuperSusanoomon fought with the bottom demon figure. Returning to aid Golden Moon and Gold Kuiper Senshi, Houou Mars blasted the entity with her cosmic flames, tearing away the statues and sections with ease.

Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, and Deep-Eyes White Dragon fired at the Wall of Light's middle body. One of the Zamasmon figures forged a magical barrier to deflect the beams at the heroes. Golden Eris and Larry fought the white tiger head of the Wall of Light. The tiger head fired homing eye beams and a mouth blast, but Golden Eris grabbed Larry and flew him out of the way. Joey and his monsters backed them up as they blocked the beams.

Yugi and Dark Magician blasted the tiger head with their combined Dark Magic Attack. Téa & her SepteMagician Girls, the Golden Kuipers, Mami, and Kyoko fired their own magic and energy blasts at the Wall of Light's upper body. Then, the two of the Zamasmon figures: a Virgin Mary female and a male sleeping figure repelled the other magical girls' attacks with a holy psychic storm and status decrease abilities. Téa and the SepteMagician Girls repelled and cured their status abilities.

"Ready to finish this, Mars?!" Golden Moon asked Houou Mars.

Nodding, Houou Mars readied a cosmic flamed blast that would destroy the Wall of Light and the Zamasmon pillar. However, someone else already had a similar idea.

"ALRIGHT, I'M FINISHING THIS OFF!" Whirusmon yelled.

Wasting no time, Whirusmon charged up a giant white sun sphere from his hands called Whirusmon's Judgment. He tossed it at the Wall of Light with every combatant taking cover to not get hit. The sphere engulfed Black Gaiamon X's familiar and completely destroyed it.

"That's how it's done. Let's not delay this pointless fight." Whirusmon scoffed in Beerusmon's irritated tone.

"You seem hasty in getting this done, and I'm talking to the Beerusmon inside the fused body, not his advisor." Rumsshimon clarified.

Houou Mars scoffed in the Houou's voice. "I had that, you rash feline."

Whirusmon turned away and smirked. "You already killed that Nyarla fellow, I can't just let you show me up again."

Golden Moon sighed. "Am I sensing competition entitlement between you two? C'mon, now of all times?"

"All that's left is OmegaSyndramon and Zamasmon," Super Golden Kirin addressed in Takato's voice. "We have to get to those areas right now and see if they need help."

"Right then, let's get moving!" Golden Moon declared.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - An Antagonistic Battle)

Silver Brunhilde, Arresterdramon Superior Mode, OmegaArmamon Burst Mode, Kaimodosu X AM, Meryl & Mastemon, BanchoLeomon, Jax, Sonja, BW, Pikkan, Sheila, Daike, Kara, Sam, the D3's Kaijuu Digimon, Yoshi & Rosemon BM, Ikuto & Ravemon Burst Mode, and Obsidian Skuld were deep in their battle against OmegaSyndramon DM.

The rest of Team Xros Heart (led by Tagiru and Yuu) sent their Digimon (Arresterdramon and Armamon) fight the Shadow Dramon. It didn't take long for BanchoLeomon, the Artificial twins, BW, Pikkan, Daike, Kara, Sam, the Kaijuu Digimon, Sheila, Yoshi & her Rosemon, and Ikuto & Ravemon to join the intense clash.

On behemoth's right side, BanchoLeomon went Burst Mode and unleashed his Burning Bantyo Punch. Pikkan struck OmegaSyndramon DM with his Thunder Flash Attack and Hyper Tornado moves. Sheila used her paralysis threads to no avail. Kaimodosu X repeatedly blasted away at the behemoth's body. Daike launched a barrage of his ghosts and spectacular moves to slow OmegaSyndramon DM down. Kara, Sam, and the Kaijuu Digimon also did their best to slow down the Shadow Dramon.

On the left side, Silver Brunhilde led the charge with her and Obsidian Skuld attacking OmegaSyndramon DM's serpentine body. Arresterdramon SM and OmegaArmamon BM blast away at OmegaSyndramon DM. Rosemon BM and Ravemon BM also landed attacks on the behemoth.

In retaliation, OmegaSyndramon DM fired Doomsday Artilleries, unleashing energy missiles at his adversaries. Most of them evaded once the missiles approached and blasted parts of the town near them.

Skuld unleashed her chains and ensnared OmegaSyndramon DM, while Silver Brunhilde unleashed freezing burns on the chains, which inflicted damage to the Shadow Dramon.

"MetalSeadramon!" Silver Brunhilde beckoned to her partner, who then responded to his Tamer and transformed into a sphere of glowing silver light. He flew into Brunhilde's hand and transformed into giant sword of his similar body length. Grabbing her sword, Silver Brunhilde wielded and slashed OmegaSyndramon DM with her God Slayer Blade.

"This is the same move you used to stop Neo Grimhilde with, is it not?!" Skuld asked her, impressed with the immense length of Silver Brunhilde's weapon.

"Sure is!" Silver Brunhilde roared as she swung and slashed OmegaSyndramon DM, striking a critical point in his body.

Brunhilde then yelled out in a commanding tone, "Everyone, fire!"

Skuld scowled, " You don't have to tell me twice!"

Everyone all fired their energy beams at OmegaSyndramon DM, inflicting some major damage. Enraged by these warriors maiming his new body, OmegaSyndramon DM unleashed an explosive wave while freeing himself. This caused critical damage (and nearly killed) most of the combatants. For Daike, it undid his Meta-Fusion, knocking him back to Tike and David.

As the united forces recovered, OmegaSyndramon DM opened his eldritch mouth and was about to unleash a huge red sphere: the Apocalypse Wrath. He fired at them. Silver Brunhilde and Kaimodosu X AM produced a huge barrier, protecting them and their critically injured allies from the apocalyptic blast.

Kaiser X sensed OmegaSyndramon DM's power peak once again. He also felt the others in great distress and ceased his fight with Black Gaiamon X.

"Why have you stopped?!" Black Gaiamon X snarled as he produced another rosé scythe. "Oh, I see, you intend to save those expendable friends of yours."

Kaiser X snarled as he shot up and kicked the scythe out of Black Gaiamon X's hand.

"They're anything but expendable, Zamasmon. Wait here, I'll return and finish this!"

"No, you don't…!" The merged being reached to grab Kaiser X Blue, but the Fuseha warrior vanished with Instant Movement.

"Get back here!" Black Gaiamon X then put his fingers to his forehead. "Heh, then again since I have copy of Omega X apart of me, I can follow you…!"

"I don't think so!" Dramon X yelled out as he struck Black Gaiamon X with a glancing blow.

However, Black Gaiamon X barely tilted his head and evaded Dramon X. He saw Super Angemon X coming toward him with a barrage of punches. Black Gaiamon X ended up defending against the Ascendants's attacks.

"You won't keep this up, infidels!" Black Gaiamon X snapped as every passing moment his once peace of mind started fracturing.

(Cue Dragon Ball FighterZ OST - Vegito (SSGSS) Theme)

Then, Kaiser X Blue arrived in time while briefly pausing his fight against Black Gaiamon X.

"Not so fast!" The fused Ascendant announced his presence to everyone.

"All right, Kaiser X!" Brunhilde cheered him on.

"It's about time," Pikkan remarked.

"Most of us have been critically injured by his attacks! Give him the decisive blow!" BanchoLeomon BM called out.

With his eyes glowing red, OmegaSyndramon DM cackled. "I'LL HAVE YOU DESTROYED WITH THE REST OF THEM! MY NEGATIVE ENERGY WILL CONSUME YOU ALL!"

"Yeah, yeah, we heard you all the way over where I was. Your negative energy this, blah blah. I'm just here to finish this!" Kaiser X Blue openly declared.

"HOW DARE YOU MOCK ME, YOU BLUE-HAIRED CRETIN!"

Kaiser X Blue immediately charged up and fired his Final Tsunami Wave, a combination of Metalla X's Final Blaze and Omega X's Tsunami Wave. The beam pushed back the Apocalypse Wrath at OmegaSyndramon DM as the full powered sphere engulfed the Shadow Dramon. OmegaSyndramon DM let a final eldritch roar as the last Shadow Dramon was completely obliterated.

Finally breaking loose from Super Angemon X and Dramon X, Black Gaiamon X used Instant Movement to teleport over to Kaiser X Blue's location. He saw the remains of the Shadow Dramon scatter away as the Digicore pieces hit the ground.

Black Gaiamon X saw this and scoffed, "Never let a monster corrupted by mortal wishes to do a divine god's job. As expected, he was expendable."

"I see that's how you treat and value your minions." Kaiser X Blue glared at his opponent.

"Let's return to me personally destroying you!" Black Gaiamon X roared.

Determined to cleanse everything around him, Black Gaiamon X charged up a huge sun-like sphere called the Holy Wrath.

"Kneel to your god!" Black Gaiamon X shouted, throwing the Holy Wrath at Kaiser X Blue.

As soon as they arrived, Super Angemon X and Dramon X quickly intervened and combined energy beams. They blasted and pushed away at the Holy Wrath. Black Gaiamon X yelled and pushed his sphere, but Super Angemon X and Dramon X pushed the Holy Wrath further until it went flying back at Black Gaiamon X. Black Gaiamon X evaded as the Holy Wrath pushed up to the atmosphere and exploded. Black Gaiamon X turned to see Kaiser X Blue powering up and combining with a crimson Fury Blitz aura. The fused Ascendant quickly flew toward Black Gaiamon X and punched him straight into the ground. The impact fall shattered the merged being's glowing halo into pieces. Then, he used Instant Movement to teleport near Black Gaiamon X and decked him again. This time Kaiser X sent him flying into the air.

Black Gaiamon X halted his flight upward and cackled. "Yes, you need Fuseha earrings to fight me with! It's laughable you mortals will always try to emulate the divine! Why is that? Is it because us gods are wondrous? Are you coveting our undeniable beauty? It's so tragic! This strategy is due to fail. Your actions will always be marred by si-!"

Wham!

Kaiser X Blue caught him with a punch to the face. After punching him, the Fuseha warrior kicked him away.

"You left yourself wide open, dumbass! Now, come get you some! We're tired of hearing you preach!" Kaiser X Blue beckoned him with a wave.

"I JUST WANT YOU DEAD!" Black Gaiamon X roared as he flew into a rage and threw a punch packed with immense force.

As Kaiser X Blue saw a shockwave being thrown his way, he dodged, but Black Gaiamon X hastily rocketed forward and tackled him through several buildings. Black Gaiamon X and Kaiser X Blue then unleashed a flurry of rapid punches and kicks. Kaiser X kicked him hard a few times and slammed him hard into the ground. He had Black Gaiamon X pinned face first to the ground.

"Ah, what's wrong?! Your divine power isn't looking so glorious now, is it?!"

"REPENT FOR YOUR ARROGANCE!" Black Gaiamon X fired eye beams and forcefully blasted Kaiser X Blue away.

The blue-haired Ascendant narrowly dodged the merged being's explosive blasts. Kaiser X Blue and Black Gaiamon X quickly clashed head on-on. As they threw their rights fists, their knuckles collided as an explosive aura of white light flashed around them. A Zamasmon face formed from Black Gaiamon X's aura and collided with Kaiser X Blue's Omegamon aura. Black Gaiamon X landed a gut punch and kicked him down. Black Gaiamon X forged a rosé hand blade and rushed to stab Kaiser X Blue with it, but Kaiser X Blue sprang up and slashed him with his Spirit Sword.

Looking over the cut across his chest, the merged being seethed with fury. "Damn you…!" Black Gaiamon X turned and received a glancing punch.

Kaiser X Blue charged up his ultimate attack. "Let's how you handle this! The move that destroyed your dragon servant!" Kaiser X Blue roared.

Kaiser X Blue unleashed his Final Tsunami Wave at Black Gaiamon X. The powerful attack collided with and dealt damage to the Renegade Guardian. Smoke formed following the end result blast.

"You think this is enough?!" Black Gaiamon X snarled as he flew up above the smoke. "I won't be defeated so easily like that dragon!"

"We'll see about that!" Kaiser X Blue retorted, as he took to the air and floated over Black Gaiamon X.

Seeing Kaiser X Blue's fist glowing with power, Black Gaiamon X's eyes widened. "Augh!"

"Time to die!" Kaiser X Blue bellowed ready to deliver the finishing blow…

(End theme)

Poof.

….only that the fusion immediately wore off much sooner than expected. This was the end result of the immense power from Kaiser X's Blue form and Fury Blitz combination. This wasted his power and shortened the time limit. As a result of this, the fused warrior split back into Omega X and Metalla X. Needless to say for the heroes and audiences, especially Shintomon and Gowasmon, they were horrified.

"No way-!" Omega X cried out before Black Gaiamon X punched him in the chest.

Metalla X roared, preparing to attack, only to be karate chopped by Black Gaiamon X. Both Ascendants crashed to the ground.

"FATHER!" Super Angemon X called out.

Dramon X, too, followed Super Angemon X. "But, that earring fusion was supposed to be limitless? What happened there?!"

Recovering from their attack, Black Gaiamon X floated above in the sky with a sinister smirk. The beaten heroes are scattered and laying after having fought Zamasmon's forces. Some like the Ascendant Triad and Brunhilde scornfully glared at the dark messiah. Despite his demise, OmegaSyndramon DM's negative energy had taken its toll on most of the heroes. The negative energy was enough to effect The Super Golden Kirin and SuperSusanoomon. Both entities split back to the Beast Tamers and Legendary Warriors. Others were worn out and tired from evading the Zamasmon cloud's lasers and the Black Ascendant clones. Only a few remained standing: Moon, Houou Mars, and Madoka.

After dealing with the Black Ascendant clones, Golden Sedna and her group descended being worn out from their fight. Golden Sedna and Golden Orcus collapsed and lost their golden forms. Super Angemon X and Dramon X went to collect them.

"Karin!" Angemon X and Dramon X yelled out.

"We held them off as much as we could," Sedna replied in exhaustion.

"I wish these gold forms weren't so limiting," Orcus said, putting a hand to Dramon X's face.

"It's ok. You and the others beat those clones," Dramon X grasped Orcus's hand.

"They were tough," Kirito (Corner) added while carrying Asuna (Corner).

Black Gaiamon X cackled. "So, this is how you've been reduced to? Expected from mortals."

"Oh, shut up! We've heard enough out of you!" Dramon X snapped.

"You just love hearing yourself talk about justice this and hating mortals. It's getting old, Zamasmon," Omega X retorted as he barely stood to fight.

"We're not beaten not, Zamasmon," Moon adamantly said.

"Neither am I and the Houou," Houou Mars declared as she and Moon held hands.

"Some of us are still able to fight!" Madoka shouted.

On the other hand, Black Gaiamon X looked down at his beaten enemies, like God bringing divine punishment to the mere mortals.

"I'm done playing with you lot. Now to purge all of you." Black Gaiamon X declared. "This time, no survivors in this realm!"

The Chakravartin then summoned three colossal portals behind him. Coming out of the portals are heads of draconic versions of Black Omega X, Angemon X, and Dramon X. The heads also have traits of the Pokémon Creation Trio and correlated with them. The heads emerged. Black Omega X came out like Giratina, Black Angemon X being Dialga, and Black Dramon X being Palkia. Black Gaiamon X acted as their Arceus.

"Yes, Black Dramon X's power is finally coursing through me. Now I have the complete power to initiate the final phase. Behold, the Gates of (Z)amas. This will be your demise. Behold, the beginning of the Zero Dawn Plan!"

The extraordinary power from the Gates of (Z)amas would be enough to wipe out all of life and raze the entire planet's surface.

A new world order was here for Zamasmon's Zero Dawn.

"ALL SHALL BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE!" Black Gaiamon X divinely shouted.

The Gates of (Z)amas fired energy beams from their mouths. These cosmic beams were on collision course with the heroes and obliterate them for good.

Moon invoked her Silver Crystal and Houou Mars summoned the Houou's cosmic flames to shield everyone. Madoka prepared to defend everyone.

However...

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Break in The Battle)

One stood in the way of her loved ones.

One brave and innocent soul selflessly put herself above the others, including her mother, father, uncle, her best friends, and the others.

Sedna, Omega X, Angemon X, Dramon X, Metalla X (and Yamato), Meryl, and the others watched in horror.

"ATHENA!" They cried in unison.

Having come out of her hiding place, Athena X stood in the way of Black Gaiamon X's ultimate attack. Tears formed in her eyes. A smile formed on her innocent face. She slowly turned, smiling to her loved ones.

"Athena! PinkPatamon! No!" Meryl pleaded. As she tried to stop her, Meryl's partners, Angewomon and LadyDevimon, held her back. "No! NO! ATHENA! PINKPATAMON!"

Sedna gasped in horror and reached for Athena X.

"Don't worry. I'm gonna save us," Athena X maintained her resolve behind a smile. "I love you all."

"ATHENA!" Sedna screamed.

Whoosh!

The attack cut straight forward and obliterated all in its wake, including Athena X. The child vanished behind a wall of light, erased before everyone's eyes.

It happened so sudden. It came and went quicker than anyone can anticipate.

She was gone.

(End theme)

Sedna's mental state shattered as she collapsed. Moon and Houou Mars held onto Sedna, crying with her.

Omega X, Angemon X, and Dramon X shifted upward, angrily eyeing the Chakravartin. Black Gaiamon X expressed no sympathy for the tragedy. In his view, the child was nothing more than a mortal insect in the way of divine punishment.

"Don't mourn the child. You shall all join her soon."

Next chapter: Rebellious Hope vs. Rebellious Despair

A/N: I know if you've read Cross Generations already. We're doing that again. Sadly, that means Athena and PinkPatamon have to die for their loved ones. It was sad way back then and it's still sad now.

Ok, so when I mentioned a certain fusion, I meant more than one. Since we had Kaiser X, Whirusmon, and OmegaSyndramon Darkness Mode show up. Whirusmon served his purpose destroying the Zamasmon pillar/Wall of Light.

As for minions, OmegaSyndramon DM and Nyarla's brief return were the last of them. With Nyarla gone, that's the end of the Imaginalists. Nyarla didn't exactly get killed by mortals, he was wiped out by a cosmic force. No shame getting destroyed by the equivalent of a Phoenix Force wielder.

Nearly the entire first half up to Kaiser X Blue is completely written from scratch, and the parts with Nyarla and fight extensions involving Black Gaiamon X as well. What was mostly excised from the original chapter was the Yog-Sothoth and Cornerverse stuff, leaving a bare minimum of this battle. There was so much jumping around with scenes, I opted to expand on the action parts.

Beyond what needed to be said, there's nothing else to say. Next chapter will conclude the Yog-Sothoth and Black Gaiamon X parts, but not necessarily the Black Rebellion arc. Not just yet.

Until the next chapter, send a review and see you soon!
