A/N: This chapter puts the brakes on the craziness that's happened the past couple of chapters. We get a little room for our characters to breath. Let's see what our heroes and villains have been up to during this calm before the storm.

"Hey, guys. This is Tai Kamiya of DF-616. Sorry if I'm sounding less enthused than usual, but it's for good reason. Ok, let's backtrack. It's been a few days since we defeated Zamasmon and those Imaginalists. Just when we thought it was all over, wouldn't you know it? The mastermind behind all those anomalous agents appeared. That bastard, Zeed X, showed up and made quite an impression on all of us. First, he tells us we're all fictional characters of various creators and that our current situation is being written by some author. That's not all, because it gets worse.
Zeed X somehow got into our friend, Kensuke's, head and made us think we were all Zeed X. He then got turned into a dragon and was coerced by Zeed X's manipulations to kill a few of our friends. Distraught over what went down, Kensuke took his Digimon and went back to his home dimension. I can't say I blame him.
Then, we confront that other Homura and almost back her into a corner until Zeed X showed up. It turns out R. Homura only worked for Zeed X so she can get into his secret lair in this place called the MillenniRealm. Sadly, her efforts were for naught as Zeed X knew she'd end up betraying him. Before she can destroy them, Zeed X opened the chambers and released his Neo Paradais members, including some of our former enemies. Our YYGDM friends also were met by their old enemies. Burizalor was back again! But, now so was Virus and GalacticNova X.
The bastard ended up wiping out the MillenniRealm, but he warned us about the approaching Zero Dawn Plan. Seems he's finishing where Zamasmon started, but he's upping those stakes. Forced to withdraw, he escaped and now we're resting home and licking our wounds.
For the past couple of days, we planned our next move. The gods, including Lords Beerusmon, Whismon, the Supreme Digi-Deities, the Sovereigns, and a host of other gods from other universes have called for a summit, or so I heard. I hope they've come up with a solution for us, because we're going to really need it. Yeah, this is one of those times even I don't have a solution to this dilemma.
Zeed X and his forces have been unleashed into the Nexus. No, more like the author's fictional omniverse. During these past days, I heard from Max that Ken collected the last of some kind of rare dragon cards after some incident and duels in dimension YYGDM-01. Well, guess what? That incident involved Zeed X, who under some disguise talked to some crazy mongol and unleashed some robots to capture some of our other dimension friends. Thankfully, that got resolved and our friends are ok. But, Kensuke did get his hands on Zeed X and sent him reeling. Feeling dread for the first time, Zeed X retreated to some place unknown. Sounds like Kensuke is out of his mental rut and ready for some action. Because we definitely need him, Karin, Dimitri, and the Kuipers to help us save Sailor Orcus.
Things have really gone south.
Wait, hold on. How could I forget one more detail?! Lords Beerusmon and Whismon informed us to check back with Dimitri's now destroyed DF-811 timeline. You wouldn't believe who we saw there still alive among the dimensional debris?"

Dimension: DF-811 (Deleted)
Whismon and Vadosmon teleported with Tai & Agumon and Dimitri & Faith. They scanned the endless void that used to be Dimitri's future timeline. Dimitri almost teared up realizing after all he went through to preserve his future was wiped out instantaneously by Zeed X. This was enough motivation to get back at the anomalous entity.
"Dimitri, I know it looks bad, but we've got to focus," Faith reminded him.
"Yeah," Dimitri wiped his tear away.
"So, what are we supposed to find here, Whismon?" Agumon asked the angel.
"According to father, Grand Zenomnimon had a dream and saw a survivor in the dimension debris of Dimitri's DF-811 timeline," Vadosmon informed them.
"So, father asked us to investigate," Whismon added.
Tai scanned the empty space devoid of any life until he saw something move. He pointed Whismon and the others to the moving entity.
"Look! It's him!" Tai yelled out. "Hey, Lord Zenomnimon! It's really you!"
Yes, it was Zenomnimon, the future version, floating among some dimensional debris. The Omni King turned and saw the group float over to him. He wondered why the big-haired young man called to him with familiarity.
"Hey, we're getting you out of here," Tai said.
"Where?" curiously asked Future Zenomnimon.
"Somewhere really fun."
The Omni King perked up. "Really?!"
"Lord Zenomnimon, we'd like to take you to our universe if you will permit us?" Whismon asked.
Future Zenomnimon raised his hands. "Yes, permission granted!"
Tai reached over and grabbed Future Zenomnimon's hand. "And I have a friend you'll be happy to meet." This elicited a big smile from the future Omni King.
xxxxx
"Yep, it's the future version of Lord Zenomnimon! He managed to survive the destruction caused by Zeed X's negative energy. I heard in response, Zenomnimon wiped out the other universes to prevent Zeed X's influence from spreading. Sadly, it was for naught and Future Zenomnimon was left stranded as the lone survivor. We took him to meet with our Zenomnimon! You should've seen how pleased our Lord Zenomnimon was. And just in time for that big godly summit, too!
Anyway, sorry for digressing. Today, we were gathered to Azulongmon's Realm for a meeting to discuss Zeed X's next move, and how we should stop his Zero Dawn business."

Champamon's Palace/Digiverse-6/Dimension: DF-616
Champamon and Vadosmon amassed their selected warriors to aid Digiverse 7's group in the forthcoming conflict.
"Do we have all of our team, Vadosmon?" Champamon turned to ask, eyeing his female angel attendant walk in with their Digiverse 6 representatives.
"I do. Once I drop them off at Digiverse 7," Vadosmon announced. Accompanying her were Hit the Hitmon, Xander, Botamomon, Magettamon, and four shadowed figures. The shadowed figures consisted two smaller individuals and two large warriors.
"Good. Oh by the way," Champamon opened up his hand, revealing a pair of Fuseha earrings. "You two will need these. Courtesy of Lord Fuwamon." He handed the two smaller figures the earrings. "Now, don't say I'm not generous. Use them when you need to. And put them on your opposite ears. Got it?!"
The figures nodded together and hid their earrings.
"We won't let you down, Lord Champamon," Xander bowed.
"Are we all set?" Vadosmon asked the group. "Then, I shall return to take us to Lord Zenomnimon's, Lord Champamon." With that, she raised her staff and invoked a relocation technique to send them straight for Digiverse 7.
Champamon sighed and stared outside his palace balcony. "Beerusmon, we've really been caught in a tight bind, haven't we?"

Azulongmon's Realm/Dimension: DF-616
(Cue Cold (Acoustic) - Crossfade)
The people who've shown up in Azulongmon's Realm included: Omega X, Metalla X, Angemon X, Celesta X, the other Digidestined, D3s (except Tike) & their Kaijuu partners, the other DF-616 warriors, the Kuipers (except Orcus and Athena/PinkPatamon), Xros Hearts (except Tagiru & Gumdramon), the Puellas, Shu & his friends, Kirito & Asuna (Corner), Ryo & Jacomon (DF-616), and Falcomon.
Before the eventual meeting started, R. Homura apologized to Max and Mana for kidnapping them. She proclaimed she only required the energy from them and others, especially Yog-Sothoth, to open the only backdoor into the MillenniRealm.
"Next time you should've asked us for help," Mana scoffed.
"It's ok. We're willing to let things go since we're facing a common enemy," Max accepted R. Homura's apology statement.
"I don't ask for forgiveness from anyone, but just know from this point on I'm fighting with you against Zeed X," R. Homura reassured them.
Madoka genuinely smiled. "I believe you, other Homura."
Homura walked up to R. Homura. "Now, don't you think you should issue an apology to the other dimension you and your cohorts attacked?"
"Of course, I'm ready," R. Homura acknowledged.
With that, Madoka and Homura dropped R. Homura off to the YYGDM-01 dimension to mend differences with that dimension's heroes. The duo shortly returned without R. Homura.
Many were still stricken with grief over Athena and PinkPatamon's deaths. As for Athena and PinkPatamon's fates, Zeed X's influence caused the Digicores to become inactive, rendering any wishes obsolete. Now, the stakes were raised higher with death a possibility for anyone.
"I still can't believe she's gone," Sedna mourned her future daughter's passing, which was only a four days ago. She saw Angemon X put an arm over to comfort her.
"If what the gods said is to be believed, if we can beat Zeed X, the Digicores can be active again," Angemon X reassured her.
"I hope you're right, sweetie," Sedna leaned her head on Angemon X's shoulder.
David sat beside Kara. "Poor Radonmon. He's not taking Tike's death well."
Nodding, Kara added, crying. "Yeah, and neither am I! And I'm his sister!"
David added. "And Meryl's been crying nonstop. She really liked Tike."
Omega X finally addressed everyone. "Guys, what Athena and PinkPatamon did was by far the most selfless act I've ever seen. We wouldn't be here now if she didn't do what she did."
Madoka nodded. "Yeah, but she's still a child! She had a lot to look forward to in life!" She teared up as she said this. "I even saw some of me in her!"
Homura added. "We're not going to let Athena and PinkPatamon's sacrifices be in vain."
"Don't forget about Christina," added Sailor Eris. "She's now captured and being controlled by that freak!"
"Don't worry, we're going to bring her back," Sailor Varuna vowed. "The same way we saved Quaoar."
Sailor Quaoar sighed, being reminded of her initial kidnapping during the Dawn of Chaos event. "It's not something I want to be reminded of."
Sailor Ixion patted Quaoar's shoulder. "None of us likes the thought of being kidnapped, but know we'll always have each other's backs and go to great lengths to rescue each other."
Sedna addressed her Kuipers. "That's right. We saved Quaoar. We'll do the same for Orcus."
"Yeah, well we lost someone dear to us, too! Tagiru and Gumdramon are gone because of your friend Kensuke!" Taiki interjected, getting everyone's attention.
Akari reasoned with Taiki. "Please, it wasn't his fault. That Zeed X guy was manipulating him! He made us all think we were the enemy!"
Nene walked up and slapped Taiki's face. "Don't go accusing anyone of what happened to Tagiru! We all have to stay on the same page."
Taiki rubbed his cheek. "Sorry, yeah I don't know what came over me."
Hearing this, Metalla X scoffed from a corner.
"Matt?" Mimi approached Metalla X. "Is something the matter?"
"It's Yamato now," he corrected her. "Matt's taking a nap."
Mimi frowned and sighed. "Fine, ok, Yamato. What's the matter?"
"It's nothing."
"Don't lie," Mimi said.
As Mimi got too close, Metalla X turned away.
"You always get moody whenever Kensuke's brought up."
"For good reason and if he ever shows up again, I'm going to confront him."
The Bearer of Sincerity sighed. "No, you won't. And don't think I'm going to let you now that I can go Ascendant like you now!"
Metalla X looked Mimi in her eyes. "No offense, but you're not anywhere near my level. You, Izzy, Joe, Yolei, and Cody have only tasted Ascendant power. Don't act like big shots until you've learned to harness those powers at their fullest." He took Mimi's hands. "Even Sora has slightly more experience than you guys because she already started some form of training before she tapped into the Ascendant's energies within her Crest."
Mimi smiled, looking into Metalla X's eyes. "Then maybe you, Keke, and Dimitri can train me. Don't think I'm not afraid to fight because you saw me when we helped you against Zamasmon!"
Metalla X grinned. "Now that's the spirit, woman. Your passionate spirit is what draws me to you."
Mimi teased. "Oh? For you or Matt?"
"Why me of course. I know how to express my feelings better than Matty boy ever could!"
"Riiight," she sardonically remarked.
"Also, Athena's death is another reason why Matt's down in the dumps and why I'm moody, too," Metalla X revealed.
"I see…" Mimi nodded, looking down as she, too, was affected by Athena and PinkPatamon's passings. "She was such a sweetie pie. And such a brave little soul, too."
"Agreed, and don't worry Mimi," Keke interjected. "Dad, Dimitri, and I will help you get to where you need to be!"
"Thanks, Keke," Mimi smiled as Palmon walked up next to her.
Elsewhere, Zordiark X conversed with Ryo (DF-616) and Jacomon about the Millenniummons they encountered.
"Wow, so on top of Zeed X, there were other Millenniummons in that dimension?" Ryo (DF-616) grew intrigued.
"Yes, in fact Madoka's friends over there fought him and a different ZeedMillenniummon that came from Taiki's world," Zordiark X pointed to the Puellas.
The Puellas overheard their conversation and approached them.
"Yeah, we took on two Millenniummons. Boy, were they tough!" Sayaka exclaimed.
"I thought for sure we wouldn't make it out of there alive," Mami added.
"Psst, the next I see them, I'm poking their eyes out and make them cry like total bitches!" Kyoko boasted.
"Wish we could've been there to help fight those Millenniummons, including the one from this universe. You and I could've beaten him together, Ken," Ryo (DF-616) said. "Well, me and Jacomon could've helped ya."
Jacomon quickly responded to this. "Whoa, time out! Who's we? If what I heard about Millenniummon is true, I want no part of that guy, especially not a whole bunch of them!"
Ryo (DF-616) chuckled. "C'mon, Jacomon, we're partners in this whole ordeal. And we'd get promoted in the Galactic forces if they hear of our heroic ventures."
Zordiark X nodded. "He's got a point there, Jacomon."
Jacomon sighed. "I guess…"

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Team Dragon's Theme)
Just then, and right as scheduled, some of the inhabitants of Digiverse 6 arrived from a portal provided by Vadosmon. The Digiverse 6 team consisted Hit, Xander, Botamomon, Magettamon, and four newcomers.
Of these newcomers, two were young women. One bore a striking resemblance to Davis's older sister, Jun Motomiya. Much like Jun, she had a slender figure. She wore a low cut magenta tube top that exposed most of her cleavage such as her bare shoulders, arms, and midriff. She also wore purple harem pants, long black wristbands, and a pair of pointed dark gray shoes. Her hair contrasted from Jun's from the fact it was longer, wild, and rigidly spiker than her counterpart's softer hairstyle. Also unlike Jun's softer and rounder eyes, this girl's eyes are narrower with large black pupils. She had thin eyebrows. She basically looked like delinquent version of Jun. This was Xander's friend, Tamara.
The other young woman looked like the Digidestined's French friend, Catherine. Like Catherine, she has a slender figure and is a few inches taller than her friend Tamara. She is slightly more tanned than her fair-skinned friend. Her eyes and overall demeanor could be described as demure. Her eyes are solid dark with gray irises. She wore her shaggy shoulder length black hair in a ponytail and secured by a white hairband. A large bang hung over the left side of her face, obscuring most of her left eye. She wore a red short-sleeved shirt exposing her midriff. It matched her lower outfit, which was a red skirt with a brown belt coupled with a silver buckle and a pair of black compression shorts under it. Her footwear was a pair of yellow boots. She also wore golden bracelets that covered her wrists and most of her forearms. She has on golden earrings. Her lips are covered in lipstick.
The other two Digiverse 6 warriors are two of their versions of Spirians. They are also counterparts to Tai and Matt respectively: GokuGreymon & VegetaGarurumon.
GokuGreymon looked like a more humanoid variation of WarGreymon, as if that Digimon was human-like in stature and build and AncientGreymon. He wore a mask akin to AncientGreymon and covered his real face. Tufts of spikier golden hair came out the back of the mask. He wore an upper body armor that looked like WarGreymon's. He had similar orange, muscular arms and legs like WarGreymon. He wore an orange gi secured by a blue obi over his waist, same dark blue colored wristbands & boots, and emblazoned on this right pectoral was symbol akin to the Crest of Courage with a Greymon's face on it.
Standing a few inches shorter than this colleague, VegetaGarurumon looked like AncientGarurumon, but with head of spiky blonde hair. His face had a slightly shorter snout. He has emerald green eyes. His wardrobe was a dark blue bodysuit, white gloves & white boots, and white body armor. Emblazoned on the left side of his body armor is the Crest of Friendship with a Garurumon's face over it.
"Alright, are we glad you guys are here?!" Omega X greeted the Digiverse 6 visitors.
"Taichi," Hit the Hitmon acknowledged the Bearer of Courage.
"Hello, Taichi. Good to see you again," Xander bowed. "Say, where's Master Yamato? Is he here? I have two friends I want you two to meet."
Omega X whistled as he pointed toward Metalla X conversing with Mimi and Keke.
"Hey! Master Yamato!" Xander called out to Metalla X.
Upon hearing his name being called, Metalla X instinctively turned and recognized the young boy's voice.
"You're looking well, Master Yamato!" Xander ran over to meet Metalla X.
"Xander?!" Metalla X was taken aback by the Digiverse 6 Ascendant's sudden appearance. "What are you doing here?"
"Didn't they tell you? Me and my friends from Digiverse 6 are here to help you against that Zeed X fiend!" Xander said.
"Oh, hey there, cutie!" Mimi playfully greeted Xander.
"You look like you've gotten stronger, Xander!" Keke said.
"Yes, thank you. I've been training hard since the tournament. Oh, by the way, let me introduce you to friends of mine! Hey, Tamara, Willow! Over here!"
(End theme)
Tamara and Willow both felt like elephants in the room as every Ascendant and Digimon noted them. However, to the DF-616 Digidestined, they noticed striking resemblances to two people they know.
"Geez, what the hell are they all gawking at for?" Tamara scoffed, looking miffed by everyone's glances. Her voice was huskier than Jun's feminine tone.
Squeaking, Willow hid behind Tamara. "Tell them to please stop looking, Tamara."
"Whoa, you two look just like Jun and Catherine!" Omega X pointed to Tamara and Willow.
Ultima X approached Tamara. "You're right! You look like my sister Jun! What's your name?"
Tamara scoffed. "First off, it's rude to point at people. And second, I don't know who this Jun is, but I'm Tamara! And you best back off unless you wanna rumble with me?" She fiercely glared at both Omega X and Ultima X.
"Huh?! No way! I wouldn't even pick a fight with you! Much less Jun!" Ultima X backed off.
BanchoLeomon interjected. "I think it's clear these two are the parallel counterparts of Jun Motomiya and Catherine Deneuve. First off, the differences are clear. These two are full Ascendants and their hair colors are dark."
"Yeah, we're Ascendants! Just so we're clear, I'm stronger than Xander boy over there!" Tamara boasted her own strength. "And Willow is… a force to be reckoned with!"
Sam approached Willow. "Wow, you really do look like Catherine. Hello, nice to meet other universe Ascendants."
Willow meeped and hid behind Tamara.
"Hey, back off, dick! Willow is my friend!" Tamara got in Sam's face. "You'll have to fight me if you want Willow and I doubt you can kick my ass, pretty boy!"
Sam backed off. "Whoa, time out! I'm already taken! I'm just saying your friend looks like my girlfriend, only she's blonde!"
"She may look like Jun, but she acts nothing like our Jun," WarAngemon commented.
"Tell me about it. This Tamara girl is no nonsense and she's got an attitude," Celesta X said.
"C'mon, let's all try and be friends here," Omega X interjected, sticking his hand out to Tamara and Willow.
Tamara slapped Omega X's hand away, prompting Sora to step in and confront her. Celesta X stepped in to pull Sora back.
"Whoa, Tamara! Stop!" Xander ran over to prevent an escalation.
"Hey, my boyfriend's just trying to be nice!" Sora snapped at Tamara.
"Easy, Sora!" Celesta X restrained her.
"You want to make something of it, bitch?" Tamara growled in Sora's face.
"Tamara, stop!" Xander got between Sora and Tamara.
"Listen here! We're not here to be buddy buddy with y'all. This is strictly to save our universes from this Zeed X jerk!" Tamara clarified her reasoning being involved.
"Hey, you said you're stronger than Xander. Did I hear that right?" Omega X asked Tamara.
Celesta X sighed in annoyance. "Oh brother. You need to ask her that?"
"Well duh, of course!" Tamara casually shrugged. "I'd be happy to fight you if you're the strongest guy here."
"Hmm," Omega X glanced over to Willow. "And you're an Ascendant like Xander and your friend, Tamara, here, too?"
Willow squeaked and hid next to Tamara.
"Yes, her name is Willow," Xander said.
"Xander, Willow, Tamara… geez, they have to be fans of Buffy if they're calling themselves that," Yolei muttered.
"Except it's supposed to be Tara. Not Tamara," Cody carefully noted.
Metalla X rolled his eyes. "Gee, I wonder if the author writing this named them after Buffy characters. Probably." He couldn't deny the fact anymore they were just characters written by a veteran fandom writer. "Yes, and who says Zeed X has to be the only self aware person in this story?" He shrugged. "Fine, let's get back to the story."
"Nice to meet you two," Omega X welcomed Tamara and Willow. "Can't wait to see you two in action."
"It's great to see other universe Ascendants," Max greeted Xander, Tamara, and Willow. "I'm sure you three will provide us all the help we'll need, but I'm definitely most interested in you two." He shifted over to GokuGreymon and VegetaGarurumon. "Now you two have to be Digiverse 6's parallel versions of Tai and Matt!"
Omega X and Metalla X confronted GokuGreymon and VegetaGarurumon.
"Whoa, you're totally a human Greymon!" Omega X was awed by GokuGreymon. "And the Ki I'm sensing from you is no joke."
GokuGreymon responded genuinely. "And I sense you have an incredible power, Ascendant. You're probably stronger than Tamara."
"Wrong! Clearly, I'm stronger than that jerk, GokuGreymon!" Tamara interjected.
GokuGreymon sighed. "She always get offended the second I say someone's stronger than her."
Metalla X sensed VegetaGarurumon's Ki level. "I can tell you'll be a valuable asset."
VegetaGarurumon smirked. "Between you and me, I'm superior to my colleague here."
GokuGreymon rolled his eyes. "Riiiight. We'll see once we're in action."
"So, these are all the warriors you brought, Hit?" Max asked the assassin.
"Yes. Furizlor naturally didn't join us, because he's been on the run from the galactic police," Hit revealed Furizlor's fate after his insidious plots were broadcasted to Digiverse 6, which tarnished Furizlor's image and destroyed any good will he brought to his universe.
"So, what happened to Furizlor turned out to be true," Max shook his head. "What a shame, but can't say I feel sorry for him. He brought that on himself."
"So, I brought GokuGreymon and VegetaGarurumon in his place," Hit said.
"It's cool, Hit," Omega X stated. "I trust you brought us the best fighters you could."
"Indeed, and I'll use the best of my abilities to help you all stop Zeed X," the assassin vowed.
Shu, Gai, Inori, and Mana witnessed these interesting interactions. They didn't know where and who to talk with.
"Wow, there's so many people I want to meet," Shu said, looking at each Digiverse 6 warrior. "Yet so little time."
Gai smiled. "We still have some time, Shu. They haven't told us yet about Zeed X's next move."
Inori grabbed Shu's hand. "C'mon, let's go meet some of these other universe warriors."
"Sure, Inori."
Mana grabbed Gai's hand. "Cmon, Triton! I wanna meet these cool-looking peeps!" She pointed to Botamamon and Magettamon first. "Remember we saw them at that tournament? Hey, Winnie the Pooh and Iron Giant! Over here!"
"Mana! Let's take this one person at a time!" Gai tried to restrain his hasty girlfriend.
Kirito (Corner) grabbed Asuna (Corner)'s hand. "Wanna go meet those other universe people?"
Asuna (Corner) replied eagerly. "Sure!"
"C'mon, Karin," Angemon X helped Sedna up. "Let's go meet those Digiverse 6 fighters."
"Ok," Sedna genuinely replied.
Varuna eyed Hit. "That guy actually pushed Kensuke to his limits and forced a draw to happen."
Eris nodded. "He's got that Time Skip thing if I recall."
Ixion sighed. "Question is, will that even work against Zeed X? The nature of Zeed X's power seems to suggest otherwise."
Quaoar turned toward Tamara and Willow. "And it's good we have other Ascendants helping our side."
Jax, Sonja, BW, Pikkan, and Sheila watched the interactions with the Digiverse 6 fighters.
"So, does anyone wanna meet our Digiverse 6 neighbors?" Sheila asked her colleagues.
"Why don't you go?" Pikkan shrugged.
"I'd like to give that bossy bitch a piece of my mind. No one talks smack to my Davis," Sonja shot a piercing glare toward Tamara.
Jax sat down. "I think I'll wait."
"Fine, I'll go," Sheila sighed. "Y'all suck."
"Max," BW walked over to his brother. "When are we going to discuss Zeed X's next move?"
"In a minute, let's give everyone a little more time to get to know our Digiverse 6 allies," Max replied. "Then, we can get down to business."
Simms whispered to Max. "Probably best to get the business in order, sir."
"Listen everyone. I know Ken needs more time to himself, but we still have important matters to discuss," Max addressed his colleagues and guests. "And yes that pertains to Zeed X's next move." With that, he discussed the villain's supposed next phases and how they were going to respond to his Zero Dawn.

Dimension: Zenomnimon's Palace
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Omni-King's Theme)
In Zenomnimon's Palace, Sailor Cosmos, the Gods of Destruction and Angels arrived for the summit.
The participants seen are: Sailor Cosmos & The Ora Guardians, SliferGigaSeadramon, RaPhoenixmon, ObeliskMegaGargomon, Zenomnimon & his two attendants, FutureZenomnimon, GrandWhismon, Blazer, Beerusmon & Whismon (Digiverse 7), Champamon & Vadosmon (Digiverse 6), Rumsshimon & Cusmon (Digiverse 10), Belmodmon & Marcaritamon (Digiverse 11), Giinmon & Martinumon (Digiverse 12), Iwanmon & Awamomon (Digiverse 1), Hellesmon & Sourmon (Digiverse 2), Mulemon & Camparrimon (Digiverse 3), Quitelamon & Cognacmon (Digiverse 4), Arakmon & Cukatailmon (Digiverse 5), Liqueurmon & Kornmon (Digiverse 8), and Sidramon & Mojitomon (Digiverse 9).
"This divine meeting shall now commence," GrandWhismon announced as Cosmos, the Ora Guardians, Blazer, the Gods of Destruction, and Angels seated themselves.
Zenomnimon and Future Zenomnimon sat down with his two attendants standing beside them. Once the Future Zenomnimon was installed as a co-Omni King with his present self, the entire divinity were taken aback. The notion of two Zenomnimons present brought an unsettling vibe to the deities. To most, this came as a big surprise and others hoped this would help turn the tide against Zeed X.
SliferGigaSeadramon, RaPhoenixmon, and ObeliskMegaGargomon chose to remain floating as they were too big to fit in any of the portable chairs.
(End theme)
"So, we're all here," Cosmos acknowledged.
"Not Slade Matrix," Blazer spoke up. "I'm here in his place. As you know, he's been with Kensuke."
"Understood," GrandWhismon stated. "Now as you're all well aware, the anomalous being responsible for the escalating aberrations that've spread through the Nexus during this past year has revealed himself to us. And to our horror, it's the one once thought to have been destroyed. As such, we know the nature of this being allows him to reincarnate after each defeat. The being once Millenniummon has evolved into a being beyond his original version. As such, after each death he has regenerated into entities far more dangerous and craftier than his previous incarnations. Now he goes by Zeed X these days."
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Desperate Plan)
Every deity grew despondent hearing this.
"And for the first time, he was able to get the drop on Lord Zenomnimon and capture him," Cosmos stated. "If he's able to infiltrate and get by GrandWhismon, then all of us here are vulnerable to Zeed X."
SliferGigaSeadramon inserted. "Dudes, Zeed X's power is so far he's prevented me from being summoned, and ya know granting those dudes and dudettes in DF-616 their wishes. He's blocking me out. Then again, maybe this is a good thing cause I need some sleep."
RaPhoenixmon groaned. "SliferGigaSeadramon, with all due… this is a serious matter that endangers the entire Nexus! You won't have a domain to rest in if Zeed X's Zero Dawn launches successfully!"
"SliferGigaSeadramon was never one to take situations seriously." ObeliskMegaGargomon grunted hard, irked by the Digicore granting deity's chill demeanor.
"Of course, I take things seriously, but y'know if it's our time to go… well, what can we do?"
"A lot, SliferGigaSeadramon," GrandWhismon stated. "Once Zero Dawn Plan is unleashed, nothing in the Nexus will survive. All of us attending this meeting won't be able to survive."
"Not the two Lord Zenomnimons?" Vadosmon asked worryingly.
"Possibly not," GrandWhismon replied.
Beerusmon interjected. "And I understand the rest of you Gods of Destruction tried to take on Zeed X?"
Rumsshimon added. "Well, I wasn't there when Zeed X sealed Lord Zenomnimon. Cusmon, Gowasmon, and myself accompanied you and Whismon to witness Zamasmon's demise."
"Brother, let me tell you. Even if you and Lord Rumsshimon had been present, the outcome wouldn't have mattered. He made fools of us," Champamon tried to swallow his own pride.
"You don't say?"
GrandWhismon revealed. "Even if all you Gods of Destruction had convened and worked together, you still wouldn't have fared well."
"Well, guess we weren't going to do much good anyway, Lord Beerusmon," Whismon chuckled.
The purple cat grumbled. "Yeah, well… we'll see when I Hakai this no good jerk."
One of the Ora Guardians, a brown-haired, white dress-garbed female goddess named Sren, spoke in a calm, serene manner. "Lady Cosmos, we've been monitoring Zeed X. It appears he's able to conjure clones of himself. He experimented with this ability by sending a lesser powerful version clones to different universes. In fact, in one universe, the heroes there united and with great effort defeated a Zeed X aspect."
The second Ora Guardian, another female with long green hair identified as Cysta, added. "Proving that experiment was successful. Zeed X has deemed it now more than ever to launch his machinations into overdrive. The quick escalation of aberrations throughout the Nexus supports this."
The third Ora Guardian, a white-haired man identified as Gythos, pointed out. "And as the heroes from various dimensions have worked together to neutralize his agents, Zeed X saw it fit to push forward with the Zero Dawn Plan before we gained further insight of his activities."
The fourth Ora Guardian, a third female with dark blue identified as Tomos, spoke. "The more the heroes of YYGDM-01 have become aware of the Nexus, the quicker Zeed X responded to their interventions. That is why he put amassed an organization to distract them, allotting Zeed X time to invade and defeat each universe's heroes to assess their strengths before challenging to meet the Triad alliance in the MillenniRealm."
"Yes, and so he's gained enough knowledge of who to eliminate using Zero Dawn," Cosmos said. "Though sadly, it appears every dimension in the Nexus is in grave danger. He won't spare any dimension in order to fulfill his desire to purge fiction from this multiverse. He also intends to purge every fiction writer, ensuring the immediate death of the Nexus. Without fiction writers, be it original or fandom, the Nexus will die. Fiction writers are the lifeblood that keeps the fictional omniverse alive."
Beerusmon scoffed loudly, standing up. "And you think I'm going to stand idly while that psychopath wipes me out?! And without so much as a brawl with me?!"
Whismon pulled Beerusmon down. "Easy, Lord Beerusmon. Did you not hear my father? Our combined powers would be ineffective against Zeed X."
"Brother's right though. Why should we let some crazy manchild like Zeed X strike fear in our hearts?!" Champamon protested. "He got the drop on me and the other Destruction gods, but he still escaped. Ain't no way I'm letting him wipe out my cosmic dominion!"
Rumsshimon added with less hostility. "I'm inclined to agree. After all, we'll be adding the mortals and their cohorts against this omniversal threat."
Cusmon nodded. "Yes, as you say, Lord Rumsshimon and we have warriors willing to fight for us."
Belmondmon chuckled, tapping his fingers together in a Gendo-like manner. "Yes, won't he be surprised what happens when all of us, gods and mortals, work together. Surely he can't last, especially once I get in contact with the Digital Pride Troopers."
Marcaritamon offered. "I'll get in contact with Toppomon as soon as this summit is adjourned. Their strongest hand, Jirenmon, will surely wish to right this wrong."
Hellesmon jumped out from her seat and raised both arms, shouting. "He won't be able to withstand the power of our love!"
Mulemon buzzed in a robotic manner. "Bzzt bzzt bzzt."
Camparimon translated for the robot. "Lord Mulemon says he's in agreement."
Quitelamon snickered. "I think you're all flipping way over your heads. Zeed X will know far advance we'll be coming for him. He's not worried."
Beerusmon scowled at the rat. "Yeah?! Well, I hope so! So we can wipe that damn smug look off his face! We'll Hakai that bastard right out of existence!"
Whismon addressed GrandWhismon. "We're going to need to be extra cautious how we approach this delicate situation. Everything is riding on this battle. If we're not careful, everything we know will cease."
GrandWhismon nodded. "Indeed, that is why it's decided a few of you will join the heroes in the three dimensions that Zeed X has seemingly chosen for his final battlegrounds. In fact, we have guests coming to us from one of these universes as we speak."
Zenomnimon raised a hand. "I can't wait to meet this person!"
Future Zenomnimon also lifted a hand. "Yeah, me, too!"
(End theme)
Cosmos stood up, bowing. "Please, if you will excuse me. I must depart for the Cauldron to make my preparations. As you know, I'll be aiding the Triad group heading for the Dissidia dimension."
"Very well. A safe journey to you, Lady Cosmos," GrandWhismon granted permission.
"Bye-bye! Let's play next time!" Zenomnimon waved to the departing Cosmos.
"Playtime!" Future Zenomnimon added.
"Of course," Cosmos bowed as she faded from the room.
Beerusmon grumbled in his seat. "If any one of us is gonna take Zeed X down, it's gotta be me, Whismon."
"Now, now, even we have our limits, Lord Beerusmon," Whismon said.
"As Lady Cosmos just revealed, she will accompany the Triad of heroes from YYGDM-01 and others into dimension Dissidia-08. The other two dimensions Zeed X have selected are: DF-616 Prime and KLK-13," GrandWhismon revealed to the deities. "And right now, we have two guests coming in from DF-616 Prime. One of those guests happens to be the head deity of DF-616 Prime." He and the deities turned toward the a giant pair of doors being opened.
The Zenomnimons looked in awe. "Oooo!"
GrandWhismon smiled. "Welcome, Lady Moinanea. We've been expecting you and your colleague."
(Cue Tenchi Muyo OST - Saint Sasami)
A surprising figure appeared to the council. It is a woman with a matured face, garbed in a white gown with green shoulder padding on both of her shoulders. Her chest is lined up with an array of beautiful golden gems with pieces of cloth hanging from each gem. Her face is gorgeous and nearly as pale as the clouds. Her eyes were light blue shaded with black irises and her turquoise hair flowed back down to her feet. She is Goddess Moinanea, the Digital Kami of DF-616 Prime.
Standing beside Moinanea is the legendary digital fused hero of DF-616 Prime: The One, Omega X (DF-616 Prime). His appearance differed from his DF-616 self. His spiky blonde hair and green eyes are retained, but he wore body armor and a helmet shaped like WarGreymon's.
Beerusmon's mouth drop upon seeing Omega X (DF-616 Prime). "BWUH?! T-T-T-TAICHI?!"
Whismon laughed aloud. "Ohohoho, that is Taichi, but not our Taichi, Lord Beerusmon."
Champamon scoffed. "Could've told ya that sooner, brother."
Beerusmon controlled the urge to confront Omega X (DF-616 Prime). "He looks so much like him, but his power feels so different. This one has no God Ki."
Whismon sighed. "Control yourself, Lord Beerusmon. We don't want a fight to break out here right where two Lord Zenomnimons are present."
The purple cat remembered this and restrained. "Err, right."
Future Zenomnimon waved to her. "Hi! Please have a seat!" He happily invited her.
Lord Zenomnimon noticed Omega X (DF-616 Prime) and stared. "Oh, you're not the Taichi I know." He smiled. "But you're definitely another him!"
Omega X (DF-616 Prime) blinked at Zenomnimon. "...huh? So, you know that other me?"
Lord Zenomnimon nodded. "Yep! He's a funny guy and brought me a new friend."
Future Zenomnimon smiled. "And I'm his new friend!"
Omega X (DF-616 Prime) chuckled modestly. "Oh, I see."
Lord Zenomnimon turned to Lady Moinanea. "Um, can you have a seat please?"
Lady Moinanea quickly bowed. "But of course, Lord Zenomnimon. How interesting there's two of you, but I sense the other's temporal energy. He's from an alternate future, yes?" She walked with Omega X (DF-616 Prime), who accompanied her like a bodyguard. She sat down in Cosmos's vacant seat. "Yes, as I understand it, the anomalous being known as Zeed X has surfaced. Well, more like Zeed has reincarnated into this new phase. No one in this room has the experience encountering this entity better than myself and The One beside me."
"So, how do you propose we approach this situation, Lady Moinanea? Based on your expertise?" GrandWhismon inquired to DF-616 Prime's deity.
Lady Moinanea answered as her soft features hardened with a glare. "Fight united and hope to survive. And do not let him prey on your insecurities. And trust me as I tell you all this, he knows we're having this meeting and he'll be more than ready to counteract anything we throw at him. It's paramount we must approach this with great caution."

Planet Replicant/Digiverse 6/Dimension: DF-616
On a world within Digiverse 6, a former space 'hero' was on the run from the authorities. As his true character was exposed from the Digiverse 6 vs. 7 tournament, Furizlor's reputation fell into shambles. Allies and sponsors turned him away. The galaxy police were in hot pursuit of the shamed public figure.
It was pouring with rain. The alien environment looked like something straight out of Blade Runner. Concealing himself under a cloak, Furizlor hid from several police vehicles as they hovered over the city.
Furizlor quickly bolted into an alleyway. I cannot believe I lost everything! All because those fools from Digiverse 7 forced my hand…! Just then, he heard the sound of footsteps and water splashing. He glanced over to see a figure with a similar build to his own. "Who's there?!"
Furizlor stood poised to defend himself.
"Ohohoho," the chuckle of a certain space emperor from Digiverse 7 approached. "My, my, aren't we mirror reflections of each other?"
"Eh?" Furizlor was taken aback when Burizalor emerged from the shadows. "You…"
"Look just like me. Hn, now why am I disappointed to learn my counterpart is cowering behind a cloak as if he lost everything?"
"But, I have! Because of those scoundrels, my reputation has been ruined!"
"Heh, you poor fool." Burizalor raised a finger and fired a beam, which shot past Furizlor and burned a hole through his cloak. "I don't have time to listen to your 'woe is me' drivel. I came here to recruit you on behalf of an entity looking to shake the entire multiverse up. Perhaps you'd be interested?"
Furizlor mulled over this deal. He overheard the sirens and covered himself.
"Or, you can get caught and thrown in whatever galactic prison they intend to keep you in. Either way, it doesn't bother me. I'm just the messenger," Burizalor turned away and headed for a portal created by Zeed X.
'WAIT!" Furizlor called out as he tore off the cloak he had on. "I'll go! Anything's better than being on the run like a fugitive! If you don't mind me asking, who is this entity you speak of?"
"Why don't you be the judge yourself? I intend to take you to him." Burizalor pointed to the portal. "Also consider this an opportunity to get revenge on the same teammates that turned their backs on you. And revenge on Taichi and his friends. Because they're my enemies, too."
"Then, I shall go."
"Very well. Follow me… I didn't get your name?"
"I am Furizlor."
The tyrant of Digiverse 7 darkly smirked. "And you may call me Lord Burizalor."
"Then, I am ready to join you!" Furizlor called out.
"Then, let us depart, Furizlor."

Nexus Dimension
(Cue Who Framed Roger Rabbit - Judge Doom)
The antagonists seen are Neo Paradais (Zeed X, Zeed, Sailor Chaos, Millenniummon (YYGDM-01), Yuu, Kriemhild Gretchen, Moon=Millenniummon (DF-616), ZeedMillenniummon (DXW-06), Time Deaths), Burizalor, Virus, GalacticNova X, Valmarmon, Gamera, Arago, and Furizlor.
Besides the villains, a massive army was created and amassed by Zeed X. They consisted of ships that looked like Ashtanga and Mugen from Gurren Lagann with combined features of the Reapers from Mass Effect. There were also Necromorphs (Dead Space), the Locust Horde (Gears of War), Cyberdemons (Doom (2016)), Magician Type 0 clones (The House of the Dead), Demogorgons (Stranger Things), MillenniLampmons, MillenniZanbamons, MillenniMachinedramons, MillenniKimeramons, XeedImperialdramons (Both its Dragon (Having elements of Armageddemon) and Fighter Modes (Having the color schemes and faces of Diaboromon)), DarknessShoutmon X7s, BerserkArresterdramons (With elements of Berserk Dragon from Yu-Gi-Oh!), MukuroGaruru Xs, MazokuGrey Xs, Quartzmon Xs, Styxes (Chaos nymphs summoned by Sailor Chaos), Kerberoses (Paradais monsters), Black Omega X clones, Black Angemon X clones, Black Dramon X clones, Black Metalla X clones, Black Celesta X clones (With elements of Dark Celesta X (DF-616 Prime) corrupted by Zeed), Black WarAngemon clones (With elements of Dark WarAngemon (DF-616 Prime) corrupted by Zeed), Black Ultima X clones (With elements of Dark Ultima X (DF-616 Prime) corrupted by Zeed), Black Max clones, BlackBanchoLeomon clones, BlackBakemon clones, BlackBoltboutamon clones, BlackNeoDevimon clones, BlackBabimon clones, BlackSaibamon clones, BlackGinyumon clones, Black Chaser clones, BlackBrutemon clones, Black Devilin clones, BlackGurdmon clones, Black Burizalor clones (complete with all of his four forms), Black Jax clones, Black Sonja clones, Black BW clones, Black Virus clones (complete with his Imperfect, Semi Perfect, and Perfect forms), Black Virus Jr. clones, Black Warlord clones, Black Cyrus clones, Black GalacticNova X clones, BlackParadixalmon clones, BlackGranDracmon clones, BlackNeoGranDracmon clones, Black Dee clones (complete with Fat, Evil, Super, Super II, Mystic, and Teen forms), BlackBeerusmon clones, Black Adnarim clones, Zamasmon clones, and Black Gaiamon X clones.
Zeed X materialized three screens shown in mid-air displaying three dimensional coordinates: DF-616 Prime (Digimon Fusion), KLK-13 (Kill la Kill), and Dissidia-08 (Dissidia Final Fantasy).
"You have all been gathered for this." Zeed X announced. He changed his face into Master Xehanort's for this villainous meeting, all from the goatee, being bald, and right down to his voice, "All of this was decided. My twelve Synisters would welcome me here on this day. It is the future that lies beyond my sight." His face turned back to normal.
Zeed responded to his current, more powerful incarnation. "It's a pleasure to be fighting with my current cycle incarnation. And your power of omniscience is far beyond my own."
Yuu chortled coolly. "What an honor to be revived by the one responsible for all the chaos that's affected the Nexus."
Gamera added, glancing over to Burizalor. "Though I wonder why you decided to revive others who've apparently already died before."
Burizalor chortled, snarking at Gamera. "Heheh, look who's talking. From what I've been told, you're just the offspring of your more powerful father. I do wonder why he isn't here? Was he too afraid to show?"
Gamera smirked. "My father is part of me right here." He tapped his forehead. "I've inherited his memories prior to his demise. And as for his whereabouts? Who knows, but there has to be a reason he wasn't revived with us."
Furizlor approached Burizalor. "I should be thankful you decided to save me further humiliation and brought me to this summit. So, it's true Zeed X can grant me a power akin to yours?"
Burizalor replied with a smug grin. "You'll have to ask him. And as for a golden form? Hmph, you'd best not copy me. Get your own color coded form."
Furizlor nodded, jotting notes down. "Ok, duly noted. Do not copy my alternate counterpart."
Valmarmon grunted as he pointed to Zeed X. "I'm flattered you've decided to revive me, but understand that the heroes that destroyed me are mine to defeat. And once I've finished them, don't be surprised if I choose to come after you."
Zeed X shrugged. "You're more than welcome to, Valmarmon. However, I think you should direct your anger toward the whore and her pet." He pointed down to Sailor Chaos and Millenniummon (YYGDM-01).
The original Paradais duo noticed the spotlight cast on them. The other Synisters and villains shifted their attention toward them.
Valmarmon grumbled, cracking his giant knuckles. "Yes. That's right. It was you two. How could I have forgotten? What do you two have to say for yourselves?"
Sailor Chaos growled in resistance toward her accuser. "Hey, don't take it personally! My lover and I only did was necessary to initiate the final phase of our End of Days strategy!"
Millenniummon (YYGDM-01) growled, finding himself unable to speak normally.
Valmarmon chortled. "Such a shame. He truly has become your pet, chaos witch. Are you going to teach him new tricks and make him fetch?"
Sailor Chaos scowled, defending what was left of Millenniummon (YYGDM-01)'s dignity. "I'm working on restoring his speech! And you best back off, Valmarmon!" She turned toward the others. "The same goes for all of you!"
The tension in the summit was silenced by the sound of clapping. Chaos turned as Zeed X mockingly clapped for her holding a firm stance against the Demon God Digimon.
"Well said, Sharon Rivers," Zeed X chortled, still clapping loudly, which unnerved Chaos. "Oh, right. I shouldn't call you by that identity anymore. After all, the woman known as Sharon Rivers in dimension YYGDM-01 ceases to exist. All that's left is Chaos's incarnate version of Sailor Charon."
"Don't you dare get coy with me. I don't care if you truly are me and my lover's superior," Chaos retorted, standing up to Zeed X, despite knowing she was completely outmatched in terms of power and Xanatos Gambit scheming. She knew full well Zeed X planned ahead of her.
"Understand I brought you back so you can take your revenge on YYGDM-01's heroes, including killing your sister and the future Neo-Queen Serenity," the anomalous one reminded the Chaos witch. "That is your only purpose in the grand scheme of things. Just do me a big favor…"
"What?"
Zeed X turned his back towards Sailor Chaos and warned her while not showing his face. "Don't make the battles too clusterfucked and long like your oh so classic Dawn of Chaos travesty. It once made the author suffer mental pains and drained a lot of his energy back then. Because if you do that again, you'll suffer the wrath of..." Zeed X then swiftly turned towards Sailor Chaos by giving an epic jump scare with his face morphing into Toon!Judge Doom from Who Framed Roger Rabbit. His scary cartoonish eyes popped out and he shouted in a squeaky devilish voice. "THIS!"
"GAH!" Chaos wailed as she fell back, taken by surprise with Zeed X's jump scare.
Jishikitori X prepared to jump in on Chaos's behalf, but the other Time Deaths stopped her.
"Hehehe! Ah, Christopher Lloyd never ceases to amaze me in that role," Zeed X chuckled as his face morphed back to normal. "So, are we clear, chaos witch?"
"Bastard…" Chaos scowled, propping herself up. "Fine. Whatever." She gave an intense glare at Zeed X. "So, where is that Kuiper you captured? I know you have Sailor Orcus sealed up here."
"She's being preserved until the final battles go down. Orcus shall serve as a vessel core for Sailor Chaos Hydra Mode," Zeed X turned toward Jishikitori X. "Oh yes, I think you're quite familiar with this entity. It was your final form I take it?"
Jishikitori X growled behind her mask. "Yes, what of it? So Orcus now doubles as its vessel core?"
"Yes, and all in the next step to destroy the dimension we're going to invade, but most of all we'll use it to demolish Kensuke's reputation. Oh, how easily I broke that woman after I snatched her from Kenny's grasp," Zeed X chortled.

Flashback/MillenniRealm/Private Quarters
Before R. Homura and the heroes entered this realm, Zeed X briefly brought Sailor Orcus here. He placed Orcus down and watched her fearfully back off.
"Wh-Where am I?!" Orcus screamed. "Take me back now!"
Zeed X casually walked up to her. "Relax, Christina Denton." This surprised her. "Don't be surprised. I know all about you and the fact you're just an original character a fanfic writer created."
"What…?" Orcus could hardly process this. Her mind was all over the place. As she readily formed a dark hole to suck him in, Zeed X phased through her attack. "Stay back!"
As Zeed X snapped his fingers, Orcus was forcefully pushed against a crystallized barrier. Her body became neutralized as a result of Zeed X's power. Try as she might, Orcus failed to break loose from Zeed X's hold on her.
Zeed X motioned his head, forcing Orcus' face to turn forward looking at him. He walked up to Orcus and leaned over. His lifeless eyes stared deep into Orcus' apprehensive eyes.
"Relax, Orcus. I'll make it better…" Zeed X reassured calmly as his face morphed into Kensuke (XLR-8)'s, shocking and scaring Orcus. He spoke in Kensuke (XLR-8)'s voice but his voice sounding soothing. "I promise I'll protect you, Christina."
All Orcus could think about were the Kuipers and Kensuke coming to save her. Her memories of them seemed to be blacked out as she fell unconscious. Zeed X then placed Orcus inside the core of a giant planet-sized humanoid woman with eight arms, four on each side. A giant spear rested in its giant hands. Four snakes wrapped around giant legs which were visible due to the skirt of its outfit only covering its back and sides. It had black hair and closed eyes. As the core sealed shut with Orcus inside, a dark glow enveloped the Sailor Chaos Hydra Mode entity. Its form started to change as it gained some features that resembled the Colony Devil Gundam, changing Sailor Chaos Hydra Mode into Colony Chaos Hydra Mode.
"Yes, Christina Denton, your insecurities shall fuel this engine of destruction. And Kensuke, let's see if you can save her now. In the end, I will ensure both of you are broken beyond repair. Oh, and don't think this is over, Kensuke, because I've added one important element. I've revived an 'old friend' who's dying to greet you again. And he will be that final recipe to finally break you once and for all!"

Nexus Dimension
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - The Kaioshins' Scheme)
"Of course, you pushed me too far when you attacked me and forced me to retreat. Fear makes one stronger? You have no idea, Kensuke Rainer. I've acquired two new acquisitions to turn the tide against you all." Zeed X muttered, growling under his breath.
"By the way, what about that Prime Taichi from dimension DVT?" Zeed inquired to Zeed X. "I do believe Burizalor came close to erasing that dimension, which would've caused a chain reaction and wiped out every universe with a Taichi in it."
Upon hearing this, Zeed X recognized this event. "Yes, Burizalor did in fact nearly wipe every Taichi from the Nexus. Hmm, perhaps I should finish the job for him? Or maybe let him do what he pleases?" He considered options.
Hearing Zeed X's discussion with Zeed, Burizalor grunted and fumed over the fact he was just another fictional character and an expy based off Freeza.
"Damn that Taichi. He and his friends are going to rue the day they sent me to hell!" Burizalor ranted over his last defeat. "I was so close to erasing every Taichi in the multiverse, and I would've succeeded, too! And to find out I'm just a fictional character? I, Lord Burizalor, won't stand for it!"
Virus cackled. "Hahah, the truth hurts doesn't it, Burizalor? Why not just come to terms and accept you're a fictional character? There's no shame. So as long as the author writes us, our fates are predetermined. And since we're back, we'll have another chance to redeem our defeats."
The digital tyrant scoffed, glaring down Virus angrily. "You had better hope you're right, for your sake, Virus. No one shall have the honor of ending Taichi's entire existence in the multiverse but me."
GalacticNova X grunted. "Taichi is mine, tyrant."
Burizalor proposed. "First one that kills him shall hold bragging rights forever." Both agreed to this proposition.
Virus rolled his eyes. "Oh brother."
Zeed X quietly eavesdropped on the DF-616 villains, specifically Burizalor.
"By the way, didn't you have that brief visit with the Mad Titan in dimension DF-616?" Zeed asked Zeed X.
"We did. I made mention to the fact beyond those Avengers the Ascendants will be a threat to his long term plans if they find out. So, I left him a parting gift for him to use as a countermeasure against them. Whether he uses it is up to him, but knowing him I suspect he'll bide his time."
"Well, there's a chance that won't happen should we succeed."
Zeed X chuckled. "Of course, then there's no reason for him to act when the entire Nexus collapses."
Zeed nodded. "Yes."
Zeed X pivoted and glanced over his assembled forces. "So, now that we're all on the same page, let's make this omniversal war something to remember. I have determined which of you will take a specific dimension. Until further notice, this meeting is adjourned." He turned away with Zeed.
Zeed muttered to him. "No surprise not everyone's on the same page with you."
Zeed X shrugged, remaining unfazed by his detractors and conspirators. "As expected. It comes as no surprise. The Chaos witch is still sore once her Dawn of Chaos plans fell on top of her. Burizalor still wishes to end Taichi's entire existence by finishing where he left off and complete his revenge. Well, not if I have anything to say about it. Regardless, we still have a fated battle with the Nexus' heroes. There won't be any further delays."

After some space to himself, Kensuke regrouped with his friends and met with Sedna. After much reassurance from his sister, Kensuke transformed into Ascendant form.
"Glad you can join us, Kensuke," Max acknowledged Dramon X with them.
"Slade and I had a chat. Then, thanks to you and Tai, my head is all clear."
"Good to hear, Ken," Omega X added.
"Hell, I'm not missing a chance to get back at Zeed X for the crap he's put me through and trying to create dissension between us!" Despite saying that, the few who were still upset (the other D3s (sans Keke), WarAngemon, and Metalla X) made no eye contact with him.
Also gone from their group was team Xros Heart, who transferred over with the YYGDM-01 group. In exchange, the DF-616 group got the last two remaining Kuiper Belt Senshi: Sailor Haumea and Sailor Makemake. Additionally, Digiverse 6's group was a huge plus.
Omega X scanned the faces in the crowd. "Ok, I think this is all of us."
Sedna added. "Yeah, it's all of us, Tai."
Metalla X punched a fist into his palm. "I look forward to punching that bastard's face in!"
Keke chimed in. "Be sure to save some for me, too, dad."
Angemon X added, nodding. "We're all in agreement here."
Masaru clenched his fist. "Yeah, and he ain't freaking me out with those Pennywise and Deadpool faces again!"
Houou X turned to Mummymon. "And what brings you here with us, champ?"
"When I heard y'all are gonna fight some multiverse bad guy, I, the Digiworld champion, wasn't gonna miss out saving all of reality with y'all!" Mummymon boasted hard, causing nearly everyone to sigh and facepalm.
Meryl resolved. "I'm fighting for Athena and PinkPatamon's sakes, dad!"
Mummymon was taken in by his daughter's determination. "Of course, honeybun. We can't forget about sweet and lovable Athena."
D-Reaper raised his clenched fists. "Don't worry, Meryl. We're gonna beat that bad guy up!"
Dorothy chuckled over this. "Yes, of course we will. This one's for Athena and PinkPatamon. And I won't let you down, Tai!"
"Lords Whismon and Beerusmon, we're ready whenever you are," Omega X said.
Whismon chortled. "I thought we were waiting for you?"
Beerusmon scoffed. "Look, can we just get going already?"
Champamon grunted. "The sooner we get the heck out of here, the better!"
Vadosmon chuckled over Champamon's zest. "You're really fired up. This battle will surely help you lose some of that weight you've been working off."
Whismon turned and faced everyone. "Listen up. The dimension we're going will be where Zeed X currently is positioned. He won't be the only one there. With him is his old incarnation, Zeed, as well as Burizalor, Virus, GalacticNova X, the Time Deaths, and a massive Synister army."
Sedna muttered. "And I hope we'll find Orcus there."
The Kuipers heard this and resolved to fight for their missing cohort's sake.
Omega X frowned. "We've come this far. There's no turning back for us."
Max added. "Whatever lies ahead for us, we're going through whatever hell Zeed X wants to put through us."
"Well then, Ms. Osaka if you'd be so kind," Whismon called Sedna forward.
"Yes?" The Kuiper leader asked the angel.
"Could you open the portal for us to dimension DF-616 Prime?"
"Sure, but couldn't you send us there?"
Whismon smirked. "I would, but I'd rather you do so. I'd like to see Cosmos's chosen dimension crosser at work with my own eyes."
"All right then," Sedna said. "Everyone, get ready and behind me."
"Dimension DF-616 Prime?" Omega X turned to ask Whismon. "Is this one of those parallel dimensions of our timeline?"
The angel Digimon coyly smiled. "Oho, you and your friends are in for a mind-shattering surprise."
As Sedna opened a portal for them, the group passed through and prepared for the final battle, which will commence in dimension DF-616 Prime.

As the Dark Ocean lord's eyes shot open, the primordial being gazed upon the three groups from DF-616 and YYGDM-01 venturing into dimensions DF-616 Prime, Dissidia-08, and KLK-13.
However, that wasn't what concerned him. He sensed the Dark God's presence resurface in his native dimension.
"So, the revived Dark God has returned to this universe and has decided his former home universe will be the location of the fated final war," Dragomon (DF-616 Prime) muttered. He waved a tentacle over his viewing orb, which switched to an isolated dark realm where two fragments of Apocalymon (DF-616 Prime) started converging. "Yes, and Apocalymon's two pieces have started to shift and combine. Soon, Ordinemon shall surface. This is the telltale sign that the final battle will commence soon. This battle will decide the fate of the entire Nexus. Warriors of DF-616 Prime, prepare to meet your Ascendant successors."

A/N: And there we have it. The DF-616 group along with the few YYGDM tagalongs and Digiverse 6 head for the DF-616 Prime dimension, AKA where my Digimon/Dragon Ball fusion concepts started. The DF-616/DF cast are about to meet their OG counterparts.
At this point in time, the DF-616 Prime has shifted far passed the GT adaptations, but next time you'll see Super Ascendant 4. In a way, it's Super meeting GT.
Tai's recap tells of events that took place in the YYGDM-01 dimension during this downtime. Yes, Zeed X happened to stop by and visit that world's version of Lex Luthor, aka Cain Bearer. If you're interested to see what went down: I recommend reading YuYuGiDigiMoon: Gaiden Chapters 31-32 (titled Prelude to the Defiants).
Future Zenomnimon gets an early appearance than in CG. He debuted in the very final battle with his present self. Here, we see how they find him and he's already settled in nicely with his new playmate: himself. These two together together and after watching Zeed X's plans play out may just inspire them to announce a certain universal survival event… but only if they can get by Zeed X.
Furizlor gets recruited to the villain side. The rest of Digiverse 6's warriors show up: D6's Tamara and Willow. Yes, their names are mostly taken from Buffy characters (except Tamara, though it sounds close enough like Tara). And we get Tai and Matt's D6 counterparts. Anyone curious what would happen if Tamara and Willow met Jun and Catherine?
After much rest and characters needing to clear their minds, the group set off for the final battle. Just so you know, this story will mostly show the DF-616 stuff. Sorry. I'll probably throw in a recap for those in the coming chapters. Or, you could go read Cross Generations to see what went down in the KLK-13 and Dissidia-08 realms.
Anyway, that's all for this commentary. Send a review and see you soon!
