Dimension: The MillenniRealm
(Cue LOST - Ben Linus Theme Music – Dharmacide) (0:00 – 1:18)(3:51 – 4:24)
"Good show, friends. I give that performance a 7/10, which I'd give a certain generic reviewer's posts and reviews. But, nevermind that." Zeed X chortled lightly. But behind the lighthearted clapping was sinister motivations.
"It's him again!" Dai-Valkyrie Moon pointed to Zeed X.
Super Angemon X seethed at Zeed X, who wiped out his world from existence.
"You decided to come out of hiding already?" Omega X frowned. "You were acting all high and mighty back there, you decided now that we're a little worn down you come out?"
Celesta X HM turned to Omega X. "Tai, who is this?"
Max asserted. "I think I have a good idea who he is. Everyone, meet the main source of all the anomalous entities we've been purging from the Nexus this past year."
"This is it? I mean him?!" Ultima X exclaimed in shock.
"Strange, I'm not feeling any Ki from this guy," Keke added. "And I seriously doubt he's some Artificial."
"I assure you he isn't," Max said.
"Thank you for the introduction, Max Kamiya." Zeed X responded. "I'm sure I remembered two versions of you in DF-616 Prime. One who is the Watcher originally from his own destroyed D3 dimension, mentor of The One, and also the former mentor of a version of Saitou I knew named Himo Saitou. The other is the son of The One himself, almost a parallel to Athena as a child."
"Who is The One?" wondered Sayaka.
"I can guess not Neo," Kyoko remarked.
"Wait?! Am I hearing this right? There's two versions of you, Max?!" Omega X turned to Max.
"Yeah, in this other dimension there exists two versions of me," Max vaguely answered. "In fact, this DF-616 Prime he's mentioning is our universe's predecessor."
"There was a universe like ours that's always existed?!" Metalla X snapped as he approached Max. "Max, you neglected to tell us this sooner?!"
"No, dad, even though I knew," Keke interjected, causing Metalla X to turn around and glare at her. "We didn't tell you because we figured we'd might go there one day during all these dimensions escapades. Y'know to surprise you."
"Now he's forced our hand," Max turned and faced Zeed X.
"Wow, we had predecessors had their own universe before we came along?" WarAngemon was in awe over this.
"That's right, Takeru. That version of you once sacrificed yourself from Virus' self-destruction instead of Taichi." Zeed X stated.
Both Omega X and WarAngemon were taken aback by this. Celesta X HM sorta blushed hearing the other Takeru sacrificed himself for her sake.
"Hey, look! Whoever you are, some of these guys might be impressed with what you're telling them, but we don't give a flying damn who you are!" Yusuke yelled toward Zeed X's way.
"Oh, then why do I see specific dimensions like Yu Yu Hakusho and Yu-Gi-Oh! having yaoi couples?" Zeed X taunted at the Spirit Detective.
"...what the hell?!" Yusuke gawked over this revelation.
Shaka was flabbergasted, but deep down snickered that her yaoi fantasies were being tickled with this revelation. Likewise, Brunhilde felt the same way.
"Damn, now I've gotta see these universes!" Brunhilde blurted out. She got irked glares from Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama. "What? I can't even fantasize you kissing Kurama or Hiei, Yusuke."
"Don't even joke," Yusuke snarled at the Valkyrie, readily charging his finger with spirit energy.
"Yeah, and I never pegged ya to be one of those closet yaoi fangirls, Kotori!" Kuwabara yelled. "You always seemed like a tough chick who doesn't like that stuff."
"There's a lot you don't know about me, Kuwabara!"
Hiei rolled his eyes. "Do we even want to know more?"
"Well, um… guys…" Shaka blushed. "I'm kinda the same way. I like to think about Aoshi making out with another guy."
"Ok, I don't need to hear any of this!" Yusuke covered his ears. "Not that there's anything wrong with that, but…" He turned his attention back to Zeed X. "But I'm nothing like these other yaoi mes. I'm a married man first of all!"
Guilkatomon briefly queried to Renrukimon. "Tell me you aren't a closet fangirl either."
Renrukimon rolled her eyes. "Are you kidding? Like I'd ever…" He must never know.
"Nice try playing mind games with us, jerk!" Dai-Valkyrie Venus pointed to Zeed X. "But we're not going to fall for any tricks! We're here to beat you the same way we just defeated your top minion!" She referred to her group defeating R. Homura. "You're not taking us down that easily!"
Dai-Valkyrie Saturn nodded. "Yes, and we've gotten rid of much of your entities. If you're all that remains, then it's clear what we must do."
Suddenly, Dai-Valkyrie Pluto recalled. "Not unless this entity can create and reincarnate different versions of himself. That's it then. I learned about you through my Cornerverse counterpart. You're ZeedMillenniummon X!"
Volodramon added. "Or, Zeed X as you'd like to refer to yourself these days!"
Kirito (Corner) began to recall and exclaimed, "I remember me and Asuna encountered him in our dimension three years ago!"
"Yeah, but what I learn upon seeing him here, the one the Cornerverse fought is not the real deal!" Asuna (Corner) added.
"So, tell us. Did you reincarnate yourself after you were defeated?" Volodramon demanded from the anomalous being. "Did you cheat death? Or was that just a mere replicate you unleashed on the Cornerverse to give our counterparts a false sense of security? Well, which is it, Zeed X?"
"And just how did you even come to exist?" Dai-Valkyrie Pluto demanded. "Your existence is one of the few mysteries even I couldn't figure out."
Zeed X chortled as he vanished, only to reappear in front of the group. "Those are loaded questions, but easy for me to answer. First off…" He turned to Volodramon. "John Smith, or Doctor-mon. I'm surprised you being Ancientmon's champion and being part-Time Lord would ask me such a simple query. You should know by now that I can reincarnate as long as balance in the universe exists. I am the darkness to Ancientmon's light. I can't really cheat death if it's already imprinted into my being to reincarnate. And unlike reincarnations simple mortals face, I retain all the memories of my past lifetimes. And how many lifetimes have I lived before now? Too many to count. And yes, that was a mere replicate I sent to mess up that Cornerverse, alongside the one Kensuke Rainer fought that their fight threatened nearby dimensions till Zen-Oh's involvement." He veered over to Kirito (Corner) and Asuna (Corner), chuckling. "And I do apologize for my replicate's rude behavior threatening to wreck your universe. He can be quite the pest."
Kirito (Corner) retorted. "Don't toy with us, you bastard!"
Asuna (Corner) added angrily. "That other you nearly wiped out the Cornerverse!"
Zeed X sighed. "And I just apologized on his behalf. Further proof you Homo sapiens are such irrational creatures." He then snapped his fingers. "Ah, right, to answer the Time Guardian's questions!" He turned facing Dai-Valkyrie Pluto. "Pardon me, Madam Time. How did I come to exist? Well, you must be asking how my ZeedMillenniummon X self end up existing? It all started years ago shortly after my previous incarnation, known as Zeed at the time, was defeated in universe DF-616 Prime. It took two sacrifices to subdue my previous self to allow that dimension's heroes to defeat me. Yes, I'm referring to the two individuals who've been a thorn in my side for nearly all my existence: Ryo Akiyama and Monodramon. That universe's incarnations of those two sacrificed their bodies and spirits to help purge me from the DF-616 Prime continuity… and for a while it appeared I'd cease to exist." A sneaky grin adorned the entity's face.
"What? No, don't tell you…" Omega X didn't get to finish as Zeed X revealed.
"There was a struggle of control with my darkness that Ryo and Cyberdramon tried to subdue. For a long time, they contained me very well, but my will to return became too strong for them. I couldn't be contained anymore so I unleashed my power, causing Ryo and Cyberdramon's spirits to cease!"
"You bastard!" Guilkatomon shouted. "You killed them?!"
Renrukimon added. "Even if those two aren't our Ryo and Cyberdramon, that's not freaking right!"
Terryamon spoke in Henry's voice. "Well if you needed further proof of the multiverse theory of many Ryos running around, here it is."
Dai-Valkyrie Sedna spoke up. "And that Ryo was one of many that died doing his duty in the Nexus."
Zeed X shifted his view toward Sedna. "Ah yes, you're the other dimension crosser that's quite acquainted with Ryo Akiyama. I've come across other yous in the Nexus multiverse. I didn't bother with them knowing I'd eventually meet you. You're the original Sedna and the only one I care to acknowledge."
Dai-Valkyrie Sedna raised her staff. "And let me guess. You've come to kill me?"
"Oh no no. Not yet anyway," Zeed X vanished as he reappeared behind Sedna and Angemon X. "By the way, I give my condolences to your sweet and innocent angel of a daughter. She died with a smile on her face, but yet you failed to protect that smile."
"BASTARD!" Angemon X snapped, instinctively punching at Zeed X.
To Angemon X's dismay, Zeed X merely sidestepped and casually walked by him.
"Oh, I'd also like to apologize for what I did to your brother, Karin Osaka," Zeed X addressed Sedna. He turned with a sad look with a big teardrop from his eye, almost resembling an emoji. "I'm sorry for breaking dear Kensuke and sending him one of his rampages. I do believe he killed three of your people?"
Sedna was stricken with grief over this. "Stop…"
Dai-Valkyrie Varuna swung Mjolnir at Zeed X's head. "Shut up, asshole!" To her dismay, Mjolnir's lightning didn't make Zeed X flinch.
Zeed X merely pushed the hammer away. "Excuse me, adults are having a conversation here."
"Don't take me lightly!" Varuna yelled out, prompting Dai-Valkyrie Quaoar to pull her away. "We want to know what you did to Orcus!"
"That's right! Where's Orcus you bastard?!" Sedna demanded from the anomalous being.
Zeed X waved a finger in Sedna's face. "Shhh, patience. You'll know soon enough."
"Hey if we're gonna be interrupting him, let's keep it up!" Masaru roared as he rushed Zeed X and punched him square in the face.
"Yeah! Nice shot, Aniki!" ShineGreymon BM cheered him on.
"Not let's see if I can take data from you…" Masaru then saw Zeed X recover.
However, Zeed X simply gets up without a bruise much to Masaru's shock. Zeed X's face briefly changed to Pennywise the Clown (It (2017 Film)) and taunts with its exact same voice till he then ended with a smile filled with carnivorous teeth, "Ohohohoho! Nice try, little man! But we all float down here! Even the innocent Athena floats like dear Georgie! Speaking of which, you wanna know how I got these scars?!" His face then briefly changed into Pennywise the Clown (It (1990)). "C'mon, buckos? Don't ya want balloons?! Don't y'all want to stay down here? There's all kinds of cotton candies, rides, and all sorts of surprises down here! And balloons? Did I mention balloons?!" His face then brief changed into Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)). "Haha! Come to Freddy!" His face then changed into Deadpool (2016). "Now, I'm about to do to y'all what Limp Bizkit did to music in the late-90s!"
"Gah!" Masaru freaked out.
Guilkatomon shouted. "No way! Deadpool?!"
Brunhilde sardonically remarked. "Oh goodie, this is not normal."
Zeed X's face became Bugs Bunny's as he bit into a carrot. "Ehehehe, ain't a stinker?!"
"What the freaking hell?!" Yusuke exclaimed.
Metalla X growled. "That's supposed to scare us?! We're supposed to take this clown seriously now?!"
Dai-Valkyrie Pluto shouted. "Enough! Get serious with us!"
Homura sighed in annoyance. "We're dealing with a child, are we?"
Discarding his carrot, Zeed X's face then changed back to normal after freaking out his audience. "No respect for the classics. Oh fine, but can you blame me after reincarnating various times? It can drive you to the brink of insanity!" He then pointed to Homura without giving her a glance. "And no, I'm much older than you, Homura Akemi-Ouma. Learn your place and respect your elders!"
Homura pointed to herself. "Huh?"
"So, you can shapeshift into anything you want?" Volodramon scoffed. "And those performances were quite juvenile, ZeedMillenniummon X."
"I can turn into anything I want, but I preferably like to transform into any fictional character I like. They're a lot more fun to become," Zeed X said.
(End theme)
"In fact, all of us here are fictional characters. Created by real-life people themselves for the whole fictional omniverse." Zeed X revealed the most shocking information. "The author is rewriting our story now."
"Wait, what?! Someone's writing us right now?!" Omega X exclaimed. "No way, that's just not possible."
"No one writes for me!" Metalla X retorted with disgust. "I speak what my mind tells me! Oh, and whatever Matty boy has to say I guess."
Max frowned hearing this. "Maybe it's just me, but I do feel like someone's been writing my exact thoughts. In fact, it does seem like more than one person has written for me."
Houou Mars surmised. "Can it be this whole time we've been living people's fantasies, especially whoever is writing for us?"
"That's if whatever this jerk's telling us is true, and I don't buy it!" Guilkatomon exclaimed.
"He's just trying to get into our heads," Inumuramon said.
"And you know why you dealt with your personal depression, Takato." Zeed X mentioned an example. "The reason why Suzaku once died is due to one of the author's contributors suggesting to do it to continue your struggle with Loki and (M)otherfucker(I)mmoral(S)hi(T) taking advantage as the pinnacle. Now, you officially conquered your depression ever since you accidentally killed Mars by Suzaku's control a decade ago."
Hearing this, Guilkatomon struggled to lash out. "You didn't need to remind me."
Houou Mars addressed Guilkatomon. "Good job containing your anger there, Takato. You've matured. I'm proud of you." She smiled to him.
"Yes, even I hated (M)otherfucker(I)mmoral(S)hi(T)'s existence. Her immorality surpassed mine. I mean, why did the author create that whore in the first place?" Zeed X shrugged.
"Well, you know what? If our fates are being predetermined by a writer, he'll write us to kick your ass!" Brunhilde yelled out. "The same way I kicked Mist's ass!"
Dai-Valkyrie Moon added. "And just like every bad guy we've been put against."
Omega X nodded. "Yeah, and what will make this situation any different?!"
"Especially now that we know you're previous incarnations have been beaten. That tells us you're not infallible," Max pointed out.
"Well, what if I said that I now have influence over the writer as we speak?" Zeed X revealed.
"You're bluffing!" Shu shouted at him.
"Why should we believe you?" Gai refused to believe this.
"Yeah, like c'mon that's hard to believe," Mana said. "We have to believe everything you say at face value?"
"That's right. Show us," Homura demanded.
"You want proof?" Zeed X chortled as he produced a visual screen and took out a remote. "Let me show you."
(Cue Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance – Xehanort – The Early Years)
Zeed X then showed the heroes the visual screen. This was a flashback many years back from DF-616 Prime in a pivotal moment when his past self explained the origins to the DF-616 Prime cast.
Oh yes, because of Zeed X's influences, everyone is hearing background music.
"Years ago, you had teamed up with a boy's partner, ironically named Agumon, to rescue the original DigiDestined from my evil clutches." Millenniummon (DF) explained.
"However, you DigiDestined were very different. There were no Digital Fusions. No Omega X for Taichi. No WarAngemon for Takeru. Not even Mystic Celesta for Hikari. You only had your Digimon partners and nothing more." Millenniummon (DF) explained further.
The historical video continued playing through until Zeed X stopped the screen. It was nostalgic indeed.
"Now I know why there are these different Digimon universes. It's thanks to many real-life fan authors and creators conjuring these parallel versions to be splintered from the Official Canon Layer." Zeed X smirked.
"So, we're all just splintered off one main source?" Zordiark X tried absorbing these details.
"We're all just products of a single source?!" Metalla X exclaimed.
Zeed X continued, "That explains many things. One is why a paralleled version of Taichi (V-Tamers) was made into a Turtle Prime symbol thanks to the fanfic author, while the official version doesn't have that trait. In Official Canon, Yamato and Sora are married in the epilogue of Digimon Season 2, thus started the example of shipping wars for a mere children's anime franchise. It was controversial. Though some are fine such as Ken/Yolei, and it's still unknown if Takeru/Hikari were to officially paired up. Interestingly, subsequent Digimon animes like Tamers do not outright showed pairings, and let the fans do what they pleased, such as versions of Takato and Jeri paired together, and versions of Takato and Rika like the YYGDM-01 versions seen here. The author was originally part of the shipping wars, and he had Taichi and Sora paired up in both DF-616 Prime and DF-616. The MetalSeadramon of YYGDM-01 was made into a hero thanks to another of the author's contributors. In Official Canon, BelialVamdemon and MaloMyotismon are the canon names, while specific fan authors combined these names to formed BelialMyotismon. YYGDM-01 had ShadowMetalGarurumon, while the Official Canon was named BlackMetalGarurumon."
Needless to say, the group were baffled to everything Zeed X told them. They were trying to come to grips that they're just splintered and alternate versions of existing characters.
Ultima X blinked. "Did anyone get any of that?"
Zordiark X added. "Other than me and Yolei being a couple."
WarAngemon shifted to Celesta X HM. "And in this official universe, me and Kari's status as a couple is unknown."
Celesta X HM concurred. "Everything else pretty much flew over my head."
"So, the original Matty boy ended up with Sora?" Metalla X gawked as he turned to Omega X and Max. "Look, whatever comes between Matty boy and Sora."
"Nah, we know," Omega X nodded. "We made our choices and I went with Sora. Whatever happened in this Official Canon thing or whatever is their choice."
"And who would've thought we came from a children's cartoon franchise?" WarAngemon was somewhat intrigued.
Max sighed. "Is it really that surprising?"
Brunhilde turned to MetalSeadramon. "Wow, well I have this author and his contributors to thank for you being my friend. I couldn't have asked for a better partner than you!" She hugged his face.
MetalSeadramon chuckled modestly. "And I sure as hell couldn't ask for a better Tamer than you."
Houou Mars surmised. "And I'm just splintered from an existing character who doesn't have something like the Houou?"
"Correct. Who knew that Sailor Moon is the queen of all these freaking different continuities. There was an anime released around the 1990s that differed from the manga source material." Zeed X explained in detail. "Mars had a different fiery personality, her rivalry with Moon was amplified, and loved boys. While the manga version of Mars is a calm figure and disliked most men. You, the YYGDM-01 version, have the personality of the 1990s' incarnation mixed with some of the manga. The 1990s anime had a lot of silly monster-of the-week, while the Manga and Crystal doesn't have it. Pluto does not even have an evil twin sister in Official Canon, alongside the Crystal version you met before. It explained why the parallel version of Sailor Cosmos was made the ruler of the multiverse resided in her Galaxy Cauldron, like the Living Tribunal, opposing with Chaos as both remained the strongest forces of nature that surpassed me."
"My original self gave birth to all these different worlds with me and you guys in it?" Moon was shocked to hear this.
"Interesting the other mes have varied personalities," Houou Mars noted.
"And I'm finding out I don't have an evil twin sister in these other continuities," Pluto realized.
Volodramon calmed down Pluto. "Yes, while that's true you're just one splinter from one source, but you're still your own individual. That makes you unique and that's what I love about you. I couldn't ask for any other Pluto than you."
"Thank you, John," Pluto was relieved to hear.
Venus added. "Wait, but I'm the original Sailor Senshi! I was the first to reawaken before Sailor Moon did! I should be credited, too."
Zeed X finally addressed Venus. "Of course, I can't forget you. You're the first to ever be conceived by your original author and artist. And you, and I mean YYGDM-01 you was the first superhero to appear in modern times. You developed a huge fan following, gaining notoriety and respect from your fellow heroes. You're a leader by example!"
Venus' smiled broadened, flipping her blonde hair back. "And who else besides Sailor Moon is fit to lead by example? Why me of course!"
"And I shouldn't be surprised you're one of the few to show up here. I know there's a certain reader of this story who'll be pleased to know his favorite Senshi is speaking to me and giving her props," Zeed X acknowledged the fact there was a fan of the author's story that's reading this. "Anyway…"
Venus blinked in confusion. "Um, who's this reader that's a fan of mine? Well tell him we're gonna kick your sorry ass, Zeed X!"
Zeed X turned to Sedna and the Kuipers, "And you five are examples of Sailor Earths. Sailor Moon OCs created by fanfic authors."
Quaoar gasped. "So, we're not even real."
Varuna scoffed. "Of course we are, I mean we're standing here talking and listening to this conceited jackass breaking the fourth wall."
Eris added her disdain for Zeed X. "Yeah, this is getting beyond meta."
Ixion turned to Sedna. "Are we really real, Sedna?"
Sedna nodded. "Yeah, of course we are. We might not be official, but we exist in our world. We have our fans making fanfiction and fanarts about us in our world. We also have our followings. We are real as we want to be."
"I can also see why Norse Mythology is different in terms of continuity like Sailor Moon." Zeed X explained to Brunhilde. "The YYGDM-01 version is codenamed NorseA, while the Cornerverse's version is codenamed NorseΩ."
Brunhilde scowled. "Ok, look spare me all this meta talk. I get it, there's different versions of me and I'm probably someone's wish fulfillment character."
Zeed X clapped. "Wow, I'm impressed. You get brownie points, Kotori Ayami."
Suddenly, a few chocolate brownies fall into Brunhilde's hands.
"Oh wow, these look delicious!" The Valkyrie prepared to munch them until she realized the gravity of their situation and dropped them. "Haha, how dumb you think I am?! Those brownies were probably poisoned!"
"Enough!" Homura interjected. "We're not here to play games! I could care less where me and Madoka originated from. All that matters is the here and now."
Madoka concurred. "That's right!"
"Ohh, Madoka Kaname. I knew you are a child with many opportunities in doing great things like your Official Canon self." Zeed X explained. "In fact, back when this arc was in-development, you were originally supposed to be the sole character involved with no memories. There was originally a Black Digicore and Shadow Dramon concepts just like DF-616 Prime until it was scrapped. Until many changes occurred from the author and his contributors, such as you and the magical girls being involved with the AU Guilty Crown dimension, and the inspiration back then of the Cornerverse for the dimension's Puellas and Kyubey to run a night restaurant called House of Madoka. Here we are now. You can thank your past dreams set in this dimension before meeting with the Triad heroes."
"So, that would explain the dreams I've had," Madoka realized. "Including that one with characters serving as chess pieces."
Homura gasped hearing this. "Really?"
"Then, what about me?!" R. Homura shouted as she stood and faced Zeed X. "I only joined you because you forced me!"
"Do you know who destroyed your home universe? It was me. I ordered a dark clone of Mana Ouma to destroy it." Zeed X answered.
(End theme)
R. Homura fell silent as this horrifying revelation came out. Everyone else were shocked. Madoka and Homura turned to R. Homura, both expressed sympathy for the Rebellious Witch.
"I knew you weren't truly bad," Madoka whispered to R. Homura.
R. Homura gritted hard as blood dripped from her lips. She has lost. Her. Shit.
Boom!
It happened so fast. R. Homura struck Zeed X with her void swords. She drove both swords through Zeed X and looked him dead in the eyes.
"YOU BASTARD!" R. Homura screamed with bloody murder in Zeed X's face.
Zeed X grabbed both swords and yanked them out. His fresh wounds closed up as if nothing happened.
"You finally just realized that, witch?" Zeed X taunted R. Homura.
"No, I've always been onto you ever since you 'recruited' me! I know you've been hiding secrets and that's why I came here…that's why I borrowed energy from Yog and others to open the door to this realm! I couldn't do it because you had every door secured!" R. Homura eyed the thirteen crystallized containers. "If I had not been interrupted, I would've destroyed them."
"Ah, so you chose to come here while all that chaos took place and while I was out greeting our friends here," Zeed X smirked malignantly. "Well played, demoness, but you forget. My eyes are everywhere. So even if you tried sneaking in here without my knowing, I would still know." He snapped his fingers as thousands of real-life eyeballs appeared all over the dimension, causing many to freak out. "Do you realize the futility of your situation, witch? In the end, your plans to betray me would've blown up in your face anyway." He quickly grabbed R. Homura's face and prepared to suck her life force dry, but Madoka and Homura blasted Zeed X, which only distracted him long enough for Madoka to retrieve R. Homura.
"He mustn't be allowed to release those containers!" R. Homura cried out. "Madoka, please…!" She grabbed the pink-haired girl's hand and pleaded.
Madoka wasn't sure what to make of this. Homura gave a pitiful look toward R. Homura and faced Zeed X.
"Don't worry, witch. I'll get to those containers in a minute," Zeed X chuckled as his body healed from Madoka and Homura's attacks. He snapped his fingers to make all the eyeballs vanish. "I thanked the author for giving me and Ryo & Monodramon receiving purpose for his first stories." Zeed X softly grinned before saying, "And the author responded in real-life: Oh Zeed/Zeed X thanked me for sending him and Ryo/Monodramon to the original DF-616 Prime universe instead of Tamers. And then taking over Apocalymon's realm to convert into his Dark Realm. You're welcome, Zeed/Zeed X."
"Well good for you, but we'll show you this author has our backs now!" Guilkatomon declared.
"All right, what now?" Shu asked.
"Despite all you've told us, we still haven't been broken," Omega X said.
"Oooh, believe me. After the hells I'm about to unleash, you'll become more broken than you've ever been!" Zeed X declared.
(Cue Person of Interest OST - Root of All Evil)
"Now, we shall begin our Dark Ending." Zeed X declared before his projectile image of himself disappeared.
The thirteen crystal containers began to tremble and erupt. Within a few moments, they had broken through. Thirteen figures are freed much to the heroes' shock.
"They're opening!" Madoka cried out.
"This is what I've been trying to prevent," R. Homura muttered dreadfully.
The first was Zeed X in his same real physical body after using his projectile image for so long while observing the Nexus. He stepped out calming clapping his hands and grinning.
The second was a draconic time demon that had a similar appearance to Omega Shenron (and Syndramon/OmegaSyndramon), including his pale white skin and the large black spikes on his back. However, he lacked the Digicores and was at full power thanks to his reincarnation. This is the original form of The Dark God and the most powerful enemy that DF-616 Prime fought in the past: Zeed. Zeed now has an updated appearance that combined some elements from his final form as a black dragon. Some colors of black-grayish reptilian hide covered his white skin. He had a pair of black demonic gargoyle wings on his back with three sharp claws equipped on each wing. His pair of white horns on his head are replaced with black Brahma bull horns. Finally, he had a black tail with a hook-like attachment at the end of the tip. His appearance as The Dark God is compared to The Devil himself.
Next are the bringers of chaos from YYGDM-01 and the greatest enemies the YYGDM heroes ever fought, the Paradais duo. The one on the left is Pluto's evil twin sister named Sailor Charon, who now took the form of Sailor Chaos. The other on the right is her Digimon partner, Millenniummon.
The next two are the Da'ath duo of GCLK-1113: One is a young blond-haired boy wearing a white robe, black cloths, and sandals; his name is Yuu, the AU son of Charon and Millenniummon. The other is a dark version of Madoka with black clothing named Kriemhild Gretchen.
Next is the Millenniummon of DF-616, the same one that freed Apocalymon with Millenniummon/Zeed X's manipulations. It took the form of Moon=Millenniummon. Beside him is the Millenniummon of DXW-06 taking the form of ZeedMillenniummon, this is a monster that Team Xros Hearts fought before.
Then, four figures calling themselves the Time Deaths emerged from their seal. The first is Sailor Charon's future self, Future Charon/Jishikitori X with the appearance of Gundam Heaven's Sword. The second is Death Phantom/Jishikiaku X with Master Gundam's appearance. The third is Pharaoh 90/Jishikikumo X with Walter Gundam's appearance. The fourth is Metalia/Jishikiushi X with Grand Gundam's appearance. These versions of Death Phantom, Pharaoh 90, and Metalia came from YYGDM-01.
Lastly was none other than the captured Sailor Orcus. Her mind was now controlled by Zeed X.
They are the Synisters, forming the organization known as Neo Paradais.
"Christina!" Sedna cried out as she and the Kuipers recognized their friend was on the enemy side.
"Orcus! It's us!" Eris called to her.
"I'm reading evil signatures from her now," Ixion informed, scanning Orcus with her visor. "And I mean she's radiating with dark power in her!"
"You bastard!" Varuna cursed Zeed X.
"No, it can't be!" Pluto recognized Sailor Charon, who was now Sailor Chaos.
"And Charon's Millenniummon partner!" Volodramon pointed out to Charon's partner in crime, who formerly also went by Jeremiah Grand and The Prophet.
Moon faced Charon with contempt. "You shouldn't even be here. I defeated you as Sailor Cosmos!"
"Fancy to see you again, my dearest sister, and Sailor Moon," Sailor Chaos taunted them with a haughty laugh.
Sedna conveyed anger toward Charon and Future Charon/Jishikitori X. "The last faces I ever wanted to see again."
Saturn growled toward Pharaoh 90/Jishikiushi X. "I recognize your power, Pharaoh 90!"
"Not just him, but Death Phantom!" Venus cried out.
Moon added. "And Metalia!"
Omega X gawked at Zeed the Dark God. "But, he looks just like that last Shadow Dramon we defeated!"
Shu, Gai, Inori, and Mana blanched at the sight of their old nemesis Yuu.
"You again?!" Shu cried out.
Madoka and the Puellas were none too pleased to see Kriemhild Gretchen.
"So, she was one of those you've hidden?" R. Homura shot a cold glare at Gretchen.
"The one Madoka I'm not happy to see," Sayaka added.
"But they're all supposed to be gone!" Homura protested. "How is this possible?!"
"Let's bring a few more surprise guests!" Zeed X announced.
Zeed X used his resurrection powers that six columns of anomalous light revived six villainous figures. To the heroes' big shock, these figures revealed to be Burizalor, Virus, GalacticNova X, Valmarmon, Gamera, and Arago.
Needless to say, the Ascendants and YYGDM heroes were not pleased with the 'surprise guests'.
Metalla X spat out. "Burizalor?! Just when will you stay dead?!"
Omega X pointed out each of their villains. "Burizalor?! Virus?! Yagami?!"
Now lacking a halo again, Burizalor chortled. "I'm finally out of that hell once again and been given another chance at life! It hasn't even been that long and here we meet again, Taichi, Yamato, and company. Now I can complete my revenge without the Warlord and Cyrus holding me back."
Also lacking a halo, Virus cackled. "Yes, it feels good to finally be out of that cramped chamber!" He shifted his sights on Omega X, Metalla X, Max, Celesta X HM, Angemon X, WarAngemon, Ultima X, Zordiark X, and Keke. "It's been a while, Taichi and company. And I see some of you dyed your hair. Ugh, what's with the blue? Has gold really gone out of style?"
Emerging with no halo, GalacticNova X's fury increased tenfold as he spotted Omega X. "Taichi, you can wear blue, gold, or whatever the hell you want, it won't make a difference after I crush you!"
The YYGDM heroes were shocked by the appearance of three of the central antagonists during the Dawn of Chaos conflict.
Guilkatomon cried out. "That's Valmarmon! He's back!"
KaiserGreymon gulped. "Great, now we gotta fight him again?"
Valmarmon chuckled darkly. "Indeed and this time no Granasmon to intervene."
Yusuke pointed to Arago. "And you want to go another round with us?!"
Hiei drew out his sword. "Then, we can defeat him again."
Arago said nothing and kept his glare on the Spirit Detectives.
Gamera boasted. "Sailor Senshi, we meet again. Who would've thought I'd be given another chance to finish you. And this time Lady Cosmos can't save you!"
Houou Mars retorted. "We won't need Lady Cosmos to defeat you. We'll defeat you again."
Moon readily drew out her sword. "And this time for good, you monster."
Venus balled up her fist. "And we've gotten a lot stronger since we last beat you!"
R. Homura gritted hard. "Now you've brought these villains back to break us down? Zeed X, you're a fool if you think bringing back villains will shift the tide in your favor."
Zeed X chortled. "You'd think that, but no I've augmented them to fight you at your best. For instance, I've empowered these two to more threatening levels." He pointed to Virus and GalacticNova X. "So, you Super Blue Ascendants and Ascendant Gods will have yourselves a hard time beating them. Likewise." He turned to Valmarmon, Arago, and Gamera. "I've powered them up back to their peaks before their inevitable demise. So, you'll be reliving that Dawn of Chaos gauntlet like before. Heheh, this is gonna be fun!"
Brunhilde scowled. "Oh, flipping fantastic. The last thing we wanted are reruns."
"Ooh, but some reruns aren't so bad… until the replayability factor wears off and believe me this will be your final rerun," Zeed X said.
"Yeah, we'll be pulling the plug on this reality show," Omega X powered up.
"And for good this time!" Moon declared.
"Zeed X is mine! Do what you want with these other villains!" R. Homura set her sights solely on the mastermind.
"Homura, but we can help!" Madoka offered as she and Homura stood behind R. Homura.
Zeed X raised a hand. "Ok, that's enough idle chit-chat. Ladies and gentlemen, let this show commence!"
(End theme)
(Cue Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep OST - 05. Shaded Truths)
The brief battles commenced against Neo Paradais and other villains.
R. Homura fended off against both Zeed X and Zeed. Despite the two on one odds, R. Homura held her own well. She landed a few good hits on Zeed, but Zeed X parried all of hers.
"Heheh, I knew I chose wisely picking you to join me, demoness!" Zeed X cackled, blocking all of R. Homura's void sword strikes.
Zeed grunted after taking a Singer's Sword through his shoulder. "Impressive you're able to give me a flesh wound."
"Don't be fooled by her outward appearance, Zeed," Zeed X warned his previous incarnation. "She didn't ascend into the devil and reshape her entire universe for nothing."
R. Homura flew up and attacked the duo. She slashed Zeed with her Dancer's Sword and quickly hit Zeed X with the Singer's Sword. R. Homura then crossed both void swords and unleashed two successive slashes that struck them. Zeed X and Zeed brushed off R. Homura's attacks.
"Heheh, that tickles," Zeed X chuckled.
"You call those attacks?!" Zeed boasted as he fired a barrage of red beams from his finger.
R. Homura batted away Zeed's blasts and flew down to attack him. Zeed had the same idea and headed off R. Homura. Zeed snapped a finger and summoned a wormhole, intending to pull R. Homura into it and relocate her. However, R. Homura vanished out of thin air, catching Zeed by surprise.
"Where did she…?!" Zeed yelled out and as he turned around…
Wham!
R. Homura kicked him in the face. The Rebellious Witch kicked Zeed far back. Then, R. Homura turned around facing Zeed X, who clapped and morphed his face into Madoka's. "Oh, Homura, you're my hero! Teehee!" 'She' gave a cutesy smile.
"STOP PLAYING AROUND!" R. Homura fumed at the anomalous villain's attempt to distract and break her will. She lost focus and attacked Zeed X with reckless abandon.
"Please, Homura! Be gentle! Ow! Ow!" 'She' giggled as her face morphed back into Zeed X's. Zeed X parried all of R. Homura's unfocused attacks.
"I just know the right buttons to trigger you!" Zeed X taunted R. Homura.

Pluto and Volodramon engaged Sailor Chaos and Millenniummon.
Charon clashed with Pluto, smiling deviously in her face. "It hasn't been that long and yet you still resent me, dear Setsuna? Your dear sister? Do you want me to apologize for putting you and your friends through all that Dawn of Chaos hell?"
"I don't need your apology!" Pluto snapped back. "Did you forget the minute you perished? I don't consider a monster like you my sister!" She swung her Garnet Rod and unleashed her Dead Scream, which knocked away Charon.
Charon rebounded and swing her staff wildly, sending energy waves that blasted Pluto. The Time Guardian knocked away Charon's beams and smacked her hard in the face with her Garnet Staff. The sisters then exchanged a series of quick staff strikes.
Volodramon fired beams from his Sonic Screwdriver tail. He flew over and bombarded Millenniummon's body. Millenniummon retaliated and fired Giga Cannon blasts at Volodramon. Volodramon quickly put up a barrier, nullifying the beast's cannonfire.
"How sad you've regressed back to a mindless monster serving a superior!" Volodramon talked down to Millenniummon. "You're officially Charon's pet now!" He amassed an energy sphere in his palms and tossed it on Millenniummon's head.
Millenniummon roared and flew up so fast he smacked Volodramon with one hand. Millenniummon fired Giga Cannon blasts, forcing Volodramon to form defensive barriers.
"Who cares you're calling me a mindless monster, foolish half-Time Lord?!" Millenniummon angrily retorted. "I hope Ancientmon watches as I annihilate his great warrior!"
"Volodramon!" Pluto called as she headed over to assist him, but Charon teleported in front and cut her off.
Charon snickered. "Going somewhere, Setsuna?"
Pluto gritted. "Damn you, Sharon."
Charon watched Yuu. "Now watch as my bastard hellspawn gets rid of Shu, Madoka, and their ragtag group. He's making his mother dearest proud. And Pluto, as his aunt, you should be proud, too."
Pluto attacked Charon head-on. "Never!"

Shu, Gai, Inori, Mana, Madoka, and Homura are fighting Yuu and Kriemhild Gretchen. Shu and Gai fended off Yuu's dual rapiers with their void swords. Both Inori and Mana fired purple crystal shards at Yuu, but the alternate son of the Paradais duo easily evaded the shards.
Yuu gave a Cheshire grin, "It has been a while since I fought you four, Void Kings and Queens."
"Tch. Don't be such a kiss-ass, you bastard." Shu growled at his arch-enemy.
Madoka and Homura are seen firing their arrows and bullets at Kriemhild. Kriemhild countered with dark arrows that both sides contacted and exploded.
"Tehehehe! I never had so much fun fighting the Puella Goddess and Devil themselves! You've grown much stronger as magical girls!" Kriemhild giggled.
"And you're still the same witch counterpart I fought!" Madoka shouted.
Sayaka, Kyoko, Mami, Nagisa are facing Moon=Millenniummon and ZeedMillenniummon. The four magical girls are holding their defenses against the two Millenniummons' crystal shard attacks.

Saturn, Varuna, Quaoar, Ixion, and Eris are facing Future Charon/Jishikitori X, Death Phantom/Jishikiaku X, Pharaoh 90/Jishikikumo X, and Metalia/Jishikiushi X.
Varuna hastily flew at Jishikitori X and hit her with Mjolnir. The force of the hammer's blow knocked Future Charon back.
"Sorry to disappoint you won't fight Sedna. I'll gladly kick your ass in her place!" Varuna assumed her leadership status and raised Mjolnir. She gathered enough potent lightning in the hammer and blasted Jishikitori X with a Mjolnir's Strike.
Jishikitori X took the lightning blast to the chest and fell back. She sneakily teleported behind Varuna and clawed her in the back. Varuna instinctively blocked Jishikitori X's strike with Mjolnir. In her other hand, Varuna summoned Stormbreaker and smashed Future Charon's left shoulder with it. After combining Stormbreaker and Mjolnir, Varuna blasted Jishikitori X with incredible force. Jishikitori X screeched loudly and pulled away.
"See? I can take you by myself now!" Varuna boasted.
"Heh, but I'm sure you're worried Sedna can't save Orcus. Orcus belongs to us now!" Jishikitori X reminded her, which irked Varuna.
Jishikiaku X launched dark energy beams at Quaoar and Ixion. The Dai-Valkyrie Kuipers swiftly avoided the former Death Phantom's destructive blasts. Ixion fired a barrage of her Poison Arrows and Quaoar threw deadly Vampire Roses to suck the life out of Jishikiaku X. Jishikiaku X put up a barrier, protecting him from their barrage.
Jishikiaku X chortled evilly. "Is this the best the famed Kuiper Belt Senshi are capable of? I brought Crystal Tokyo to ruin in the future!"
Ixion turned to Quaoar. "Our attacks aren't going to be potent enough to defeat him, Quaoar."
Quaoar nodded. "It took Sailor Moon and her daughter's combined Silver Crystals to defeat him. Sadly we lack anything like their crystals to beat him."
Varuna yelled out from afar. "So, what?! Remember, guys, we're the Kuiper Senshi! We were kicking ass and taking names long before the Moon Kingdom even existed!"
Eris flew around avoiding Jishikiushi X's poisonous smoke, which melted a whole skyscraper. Eris tossed her lasso, ensnaring large building debris and tossed it toward Jishikiushi X's way. The former Metalia melted the debris with her aura.
"Easier said than done, Varuna," Eris fiercely faced Jishikiushi X.
Saturn dove downward and clashed head-on with Jishikikumo X. She drove her Silence Glaive through the former Pharaoh 90 and ripped open sections of his armor. Jishikikumo X fired a quick beam, knocking Saturn back. Saturn defended herself with her Silence Glaive and sliced Jishikikumo X's beam in two.
"Well said, Sailor Varuna!" Saturn called out. "Do not be deterred by your lack of a potent power like a Silver Crystal, Mjolnir, or even my Silence Glaive. You possess your own extraordinary qualities to subdue these monsters!"
Hearing this, Eris, Ixion, and Quaoar nodded and resolved their will to fight.
"They're right!" Eris called out, lassoing up and tossing more building debris at Jishikiushi X.
Ixion and Quaoar continued their barrage on Jishikiaku X.
"Weak fools! You'll never defeat us!" Jishikikumo X boasted.
"No, but we can weaken you enough to let Saturn and Varuna finish you!" Quaoar exclaimed.
Varuna raised Mjolnir again and fired multiple Mjolnir Strikes, which hit Jishikitori X, Jishikiushi X, Jishikiaku X, and Jishikikumo X. Saturn flew into each monster and slashed them repeatedly with her Silence Glaive.
"Way to go, guys!" Sedna called out as she turned toward Orcus.
Sedna continued her fight with Orcus. However, each blow Sedna made with her Ice Trident was restrained, fearing she'll hurt Orcus.
"Please, Orcus! You're under Zeed X's control!" Sedna pleaded to her brainwashed friend. "It's me, Karin! Resist that bastard's influence over you!"
Orcus screamed and attacked Sedna. She tossed her sais, which Sedna deflected with her Ice Trident. As Orcus flew at Sedna, the Kuiper leader forged an ice wall, which resisted Orcus' darkness beams.
"Please stop!" Sedna cried out so hard that Knut the polar bear emerged and repelled Orcus back with an ice wind.
Within so much darkness inside the corrupted Kuiper, Razor the bat is ejected out of Orcus' mind as the spirit animal resides inside Sedna's mind.
'Huh…?! Whoa, where am I?' Razor's voice was heard in Sedna's mind.
Razor?! But, what are you doing in my head?! Sedna thought.
'I could ask you… wait, now I see. That corrupted darkness Zeed X planted in her became so much to bear it ejected me out of her! And since you were the closest, my spirit just decided to jump into you.' Razor explained his reasons.
Great now I've got two spirit partners? Sedna realized her situation.
'What's wrong with me, Sedna?!'
No, you're fine. It's just going to take some getting used to. But, we have to get you back with Christina again.
Razor materialized next to Sedna. "Yeah, good luck with that. We'll have to purge that corrupted darkness that's taken poor Christina over!"
Orcus screamed like mad and launched herself toward Sedna. For every blow Orcus tried to land, Sedna countered with her Ice Trident. Knut helped assist Sedna and launched ice blasts.
"Even if she's attacking us now, I can't bring myself to injure her, Sedna!" Knut bellowed.
"C'mon, Christina! Snap out of it, babe!" Razor tried reasoning with his partner.
Orcus turned her head and growled. "No! You die!" She flew at Sedna and Knut, throwing dark beams at them.
"Man, this isn't going well. I can't imagine how poor Ken would take this if he were here with us," Razor dreaded.
"I don't even want to imagine what brother would do!" Sedna replied as she fought her hardest to block Orcus' attacks.

Omega X, Metalla X, Angemon X, Celesta X, WarAngemon, Ultima X, Zodiark X, Max, and Keke contended with Burizalor, Virus, and GalacticNova X.
After all three went Super Ascendant Blue, Omega X, Metalla X, and Max fought Golden Burizalor. The golden tyrant fired three Death Beams, which the Ascendant trio stopped with their hands.
"You still need to work on your shots, Burizalor!" Omega X criticized him.
"Doesn't seem like you've gotten stronger since we kicked your ass," Metalla X scoffed.
"Wait, there's something more I'm sensing from him, guys," Max warned.
Chortling, Golden Burizalor smirked. "How astute of you, Max Kamiya. During my return to that nightmarish hell, I've learned to increase my strength through mental training. All I could think about was building my power enough if by some miracle someone revived me, I'd return to destroy you digitized simians! Well, as luck would have it, Zeed X was kind enough to release me from my imprisonment!"
Metalla X snorted. "Hn, and pray tell how much power did Zeed X grant you?"
Golden Burizalor struck his transformation posture. "Enough to grant me a new form and combined the essence of Apocalymon on top of my own golden power!"
"Yeah?! Like we'd give you that chance!" Omega X flew at the golden tyrant.
However, Golden Burizalor's golden aura exploded like flames and brushed the three Ascendants back.
Golden Burizalor powered up as his physical form grew and took on a completely new outward appearance. He now looked like a humanoid version of Apocalymon with a purple cape infused with his back, had golden skin like his Golden Burizalor form, and had a purple face. He is now called Apocaly X.
Apocaly X chortled evilly. "Ohohoho, well does my new form send dread down your spines, you simian bastards?"
Omega X, Metalla X, and Max flew at Apocaly X to attack. Omega X and Max fired a Father-Son Tsunami Wave toward Apocaly X. Metalla X tossed his Final Blaze.
"Nice try," Apocaly X cackled as Apocalymon-like claws popped out and caught the Ascendant's attacks. He redirected their own blasts from his claws.
"Crap! He can send our own attacks back at us!" Omega X shouted, swerving away from his and Max's Tsunami Wave.
"Damn, this is like deja-vu with Apocalymon!" Metalla X evaded his Final Blaze.
"Not looking good for us," Max grimaced.
Apocaly X laughed. "Now how about I dissect you one by one until I have you screaming in agony?!" He launched his claws hoping to catch the three Ascendants.
Celesta X Holy Mode, Angemon X, and WarAngemon are fighting Virus.
Virus cupped his hands and fired Tsunami Wave. Celesta X HM countered with her Super Holy Beam. The two enemies renewed their epic struggle from years back.
"Impressive, Hikari! You've gotten much stronger! But, there's something different about you…" Virus assessed the Bearer of Light.
"Virus, don't keep your eyes off us!" Angemon X launched Finish Buster at the bio-artificial.
WarAngemon swooped down and went for his Seraphi Fist.
Virus grinned as he used Instant Movement to avoid destruction. He floated behind Celesta X HM.
"Yes, I see what's different about you, Hikari," Virus commented. "You lack that killer's instinct you possessed when you dealt me my fate. Despite that, you've found means to build back up your diminished power. I take it you underwent some training to harness Homeostasis' light. Yes, and judging by your new appearance, you're achieved a new peak. You're hardly the same person." He eyed Angemon and WarAngemon. "And you two also achieved power increases, especially you, Dimitri. It's thanks to your recent battles with those Black Ascendants."
Angemon X raised a fist. "I've done that and more, Virus. And make no mistake, I've become strong enough to beat you!"
Virus chuckled. "Yes, you have, but not enough to save your precious daughter. My condolences."
"Bastard…!" Angemon X growled.
Virus pointed his finger to Celesta X HM's head. "Eh, eh, hold it right there, Dimitri. Not unless you want poor Hikari's head to pop like a pimple…" Before he can pull his trigger, Celesta X HM grabbed Virus' arm and tossed him overhead.
Surprised, Virus landed and glared down Celesta X HM. His scowl became a calm and condescending smirk. "Heh, I was just testing you, Hikari. Your two friends here would've gladly came to your rescue, but I shouldn't be surprised you'd still have it in you."
"Give up, Virus," Celesta X HM demanded. "Just go back to limbo where you belong."
"Hah, and miss the opportunity to enjoy my freedom?! I grew tired of being stuck inside that cramped container! And don't think I didn't come without an ace up my sleeve." Virus smirked as a golden light covered him.
"Damn, did Zeed X give him a new form, too?!" WarAngemon exclaimed.
Angemon X sighed. "Way to state the obvious, TK."
"Stop him!" Celesta X HM shouted as she and the duo tried to stop Virus.
However, the golden aura surrounding the bio-artificial knocked them back.
Bathed in golden light, Virus powered up as his physical form, too, took on a massive size. He's now slightly taller and his body structure is built like a sleek looking BelialMyotismon, but his light green armor is retained. He had notable tufts of wild pale green hair. Two black and gray Imperfect Virus heads with light blue pupiless eyes doubled as bodyplates. A gray Datamon insignia appeared on his upper middle chest. His long stinger grew back as well. He is now called Belial X.
Belial X rose, towering over his three adversaries. He gave a low chuckle and flexed his massive right arm. "Yes, now this is what I call Ultimate Perfection! Thanks to Zeed X, he was able to manipulate Myotismon's data code encrypted in me and allowed me to take on his final form."
WarAngemon recalled his friends' brief battle with BelialMyotismon, which happened before Mecha Burizalor and LadyMyotismon's arrival. "Virus combined with Myotismon? As this guy can't get any uglier!"
Angemon X held his ground. "You made yourself bigger, but you just made yourself an easy target."
Celesta X HM quickly flew at Belial X and prepared to blast him with Homeostasis' light.
Belial X quickly phased out and reappeared behind Celesta X HM. The behemoth turned to his opposite as Angemon X and WarAngemon prepared to attack him. Belial X's Imperfect Virus heads opened up, firing Super Tsunami Waves at both ways. The Ascendants avoided getting swept up by Belial X's attacks.
"Well so much for him being an easier target!" WarAngemon yelled out.
"He's fast enough to keep up with us!" Celesta X HM cried out.
Belial X chuckled evilly. "Lesson one, losers. Not every giant are slow and lumbering."
Ultima X, Zodiark X and Keke engaged GalacticNova X. The Legendary Ascendant tossed green spheres at the three warriors. Ultima X and Zordiark Z dodged the behemoth's Galactic Cannon blasts. Turning Ascendant 2, Keke fired her own Final Blaze, stopping one of GalacticNova X's Galactic Cannons.
"After I'm done stomping you bugs, Taichi is mine!" GalacticNova X laughed maniacally.
"Geez, this guy still has a one track mind!" Ultima X exclaimed. "Can't he just learn to let go?!"
Zordiark X remarked. "Sadly, his mind's long been fractured ever since we first encountered him."
GalacticNova X lunged at the Ascendants. Ultima X kicked the behemoth's face. Zordiark X fired a beam into GalacticNova X's gut. GalacticNova X managed to walk through their attacks. However, Keke swooped in and kicked GalacticNova X's head, knocking him away.
"You'll never get Tai as long as we're here!" Keke cried out.
As he recovered, GalacticNova X stood tall and wiped the blood from his forehead where Keke kicked him. He licked his own blood and grinned devilishly.
"Now to end this quickly!" GalacticNova X declared as he powered up. His generic green aura exploded and became more flame-like.
"Great, now what?!" Ultima X exclaimed in horror.
Keke gaped. "Don't tell me Zeed X gave him a power-up, too?!"
GalacticNova X powered up to his own Ascendant God form. His appearance and hairstyle took cues of Broly God from Dragon Ball Z: Super Tenkaichi Budokai.
"HAHAHAHAHA! Now I've become an Ascendant Devil!" GalacticNova X wildly cackled.
"Shit, did you hear what he called himself?!" Ultima X cried out.
"Ascendant Devil?" Keke eyerolled. "How original."
GalacticNova X flew at the trio so quickly and smacked them around. He grabbed Ultima X and Zordiark X, tossing them down. Keke tossed her Rosemark Discs hoping to cut the Ascendant Devil into pieces. The behemoth tossed a Demonic Galactic Cannon, wiping out Keke's energy discs.
"HAHAHA! That all you've got, woman?!"
Keke gritted. "Not even close!"

Guilkatomon, Renrukimon, Terryamon, Inumuramon, KaiserGreymon, ShineGreymon & Masaru are facing Valmarmon. The heroes fired energy blasts at the satanic Digimon. Valmarmon absorbed little damage from the attacks. Then, Valmarmon flapped his wings in unleashed his Supreme Darkness at his enemies, but all of them evaded the dark wind attack.
"Ha! Ha! Is that the best you got, Digidestined?!" Valmarmon bellowed.
"Not if we beaten you first!" Inumuramon retorted.
"Hold it together, guys!" Guilkatomon rallied his friends. He quickly fired a Hazard Wave, which hit Valmarmon's head.
Valmarmon scoffed. "Is that the best you got?!"
"Then, how about this?!" Masaru flew at Valmarmon and went to punch him.
Valmarmon flapped his wings, knocking Masaru back. ShineGreymon dove in and caught Masaru.
"Got ya, Aniki!" ShineGreymon said.
"Great, no surprise that Zeed X jerk powered up even Valmarmon!" Renrukimon shouted.

Brunhilde, Moon, Houou Mars, Venus, and Asuna (Corner) faced off against Gamera.
"Tch! This guy is tough just like the version I saw in me and Kirito's universe." Asuna (Corner) gritted while holding her rapier.
Silver Brunhilde fired ice flames toward Gamera. "Wait, you saw a version of this guy in your world?!"
Venus tossed her Venus Love Me Chain to ensnare Gamera, but the former Neo-Rajita leader grabbed and snapped her chains. He pulled on Venus' chain string and tossed her aside.
Moon quickly flew at Gamera with sword ready. She slashed at the Neo-Rajita. This time, unlike the last time he was felled by her blade, the Neo-Rajita dodged Moon's strike and fired green beams at her. Moon deflected nearly all his attacks.
"And he's gotten much stronger than before! But, together we can beat him!" Moon rallied her colleagues.
Houou Mars flew down and blasted Gamera with her cosmic flames. Gamera narrowly dodged Houou Mars' attack and cackled.
"I wasn't revived just to fall so easily!" Gamera boasted until Houou Mars blasted his head off with a fiery wave. Gamera regenerated a new head in place of the old one. "See?"
Houou Mars frowned. "Of all the revived villains, why isn't Ghidorah here?"
Moon added. "Personally, I'm glad he's not here with his evil son. We can just worry about taking down Gamera."
Venus stood ready to fight again. "And we're not going to be easy to beat!"
Gamera watched as Moon, Houou Mars, Venus, and Brunhilde flew around him. Asuna (Corner) stood ready to strike the Neo-Rajita's vital spots if and when he dropped his guard.

Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, Shaka, and Kirito (Corner) fought off Arago.
"Hey! I remember fighting a version of you!" Kirito (Corner) grinned at the Taiyoukai while diving to slash him with his dual blades. "I easily defeated him, and I'm here for a rematch!"
"Yeah, but was your Arago as tough as ours?" Yusuke asked.
"Only one way to find out!" Kirito (Corner) brandished his swords.
Shaka sighed. "Sometimes Yusuke forgets things."
"Focus on taking down Arago!" Kurama said, throwing his rose whip at the Taiyoukai master.
Arago powered up as a demonic aura swept back his opposition. He surprised Kirito (Corner) and backhanded him, sending him crashing onto some floating debris. He then set his sights on Kurama, Hiei, and Kuwabara. Hiei unleashed his Dragon of the Darkness Flames. Kuwabara swung his Dimensional Sword. Arago dodged Kuwabara's dimension cutting attack and caught Hiei's dragon. Arago surprised Hiei as he absorbed the darkness flames into his being.
"What?! He's absorbed Hiei's flames?!" Kuwabara blanched.
Bathed in a black flamed aura, Arago launched a barrage of black flamed blasts. The Spirit Detectives evaded, but left themselves open to Arago's physical blows. Yusuke and Shaka tried to double team Arago. Yusuke fired his Spirit Gun. Shaka tossed her claymore at her nemesis. The Taiyoukai master's darkness flamed aura nullified Yusuke's blast. He grabbed Shaka's claymore and melted it with his flames.
"As long as he's covered in Hiei's flames, we're screwed!" Yusuke exclaimed.
Hiei scowled. "Damn it all. Why didn't I anticipate this? Grave error on my part."

Zeed X then stopped his fight with R. Homura and levitated above. Utilizing his reality wrapping influence, the MillenniRealm dimension began to crumble. The rest of Neo Paradais and the other villains immediately stopped their brief fights and returned to Zeed X's side.
"Time's up, but we can finish this next time. But, here's a quick announcement! In a few days, prepare for the coming Zero Dawn! Yes, I'm fulfilling Zamasmon's wish, but I've decided to up the stakes. Curious to know what I mean? You'll find out soon." Zeed X broadcasted the news.
After which, the Neo Paradais and the villains disappeared thanks to Zeed X's teleportation powers as they left the dimension. The heroes became frustrated that they got away, and now they have no choice but to retreat.
"Karin! We gotta get outta here!" Omega X exclaimed.
"I'm on it!" Sedna nodded as she already created a huge dimensional portal for the group to escape.
Falling into a shocked state, R. Homura nearly dropped her void swords. She felt two people tightly grabbing her arms. She turned as Madoka and Homura pulled on her.
"C'mon, let's go!" Madoka pleaded.
Homura and R. Homura gave each other cold glares. Kyubey poked his head out of Homura's dress pocket.
"Go with them, Homura. This dimension will cease to exist with us," Kyubey said to the Rebellious Witch.
R. Homura blinked and faced Madoka, who smiled and nodded. "...ok." She gripped Madoka and Homura's hands as she entered the portal with them.
As all the heroes left the dimension by portal, the rest of the MillenniRealm disappeared until everything was erased completely.

A/N: Zeed X goes into meta talk and breaks the fourth wall much to our heroes' chagrin. What can I say? The guy has his fun quirks, but he's one trollish dick. And it turns out those thirteen chambers are mostly revived villains from my fanfic stories.
For a quick breakdown:
Sailor Charon/Chaos, The Prophet/Millenniummon, Valmarmon, Gamera (not the turtle Kaiju with the same name), and Arago are from dimension YYGDM (YuYuGiDigiMoon).
Burizalor, Virus, GalacticNova X, and Millenniummon/Moon=Millenniummon are from dimension DF-616 (Digimon Fusion Kai).
Yuu Grand and Kriemhild Gretchen are from dimension GCLK-1113 (Guilty Crown: The Lost Kingdoms).
Jishikitori X and the Time Deaths are technically from YYGDM-01, but were revamped into this entities when they were revived in dimension XLR-8 (Digimon: Accel Stream).
Zeed comes from dimension DF-616 Prime (the original Digimon Fusion fanfic series of mine).
The other wild cards are Millenniummon from Xros Wars and Sailor Orcus (who's been brainwashed).
And after a brief brawl with these baddies, the MillenniRealm is no more. Zeed X displays yet another universe destroying feat. Good thing, our heroes hightailed it out of there. Now what lengths will the bastard go to wipe out more universes with his Zero Dawn Plan?
Only one way to find as the Fiction's Closure/Zeed X arc continues.
Until the next update, send a review and see you soon!
