Dimension: DF-616 Prime/Tokyo, Japan (東京都, 日本)

The stage was set for the final decisive battles in this dimension. This main event would determine the fate of the DF-616 Prime dimension's survival. However, this dimensions' Earth was already teetering toward destruction as it merged with Digital World and the Synisters's Dark Realm. It would be only a matter of moments before Earth collapsed under the pressure of two worlds colliding with it.

Having opened a portal, Zeed X revealed his two newest recruits, and arguably his strongest aides: Jirenmon and Toppomon. Omega X sensed Jirenmon's power, which is supposedly stronger than a God of Destruction.

"Impressed with my big new Chad bros?" Zeed X asked with a coy smile, patting Jirenmon and Toppomon's massive shoulders. "You really thought I wouldn't have more aces in the holes? Well, wrong! Toppomon here is strong, but my pal Jirenmon here is a whole level of OP-ness."

"OP-ness?" Tempus Pluto blinked in befuddlement.

"Overpowered. It's what the kids are calling it these days, sweetness," Volodramon said.

"Oh, I should've known."

"These two are members of the Digital Pride Troopers," Glacialis Sedna muttered, turning to Omega X. "Tai, are you and the others familiar with them?"

"No, this is the first we've seen and heard about them," the Bearer of Courage plainly answered.

The Kuiper Senshi then turned to Angemon X. "And we sure never heard of them either."

Angemon X nodded. "Yeah, or they'd certainly be of help against the Artificials and Zamasmon. Man, these two powers are beyond anything we've faced before."

Zeed X interjected. "...except me, of course."

Angemon X retorted. "Butt out!"

"I've heard about as much as I can stand from this jackass," Metalla X shared his disdain for Zeed X.

Devil Homura muttered, eyeing Jirenmon and Toppomon. "If these weren't imbued with Zeed X's powers, I'd easily be able to stop them, but alas now isn't possible. I'll still fight with all I have, my friends."

"Now that's the spirit, Homu!" Zeed X taunted the Devil goddess by her nickname.

"No on calls me that!" Devil Homura snapped at the anomalous being.

"Heh, I just love getting on y'alls skin. Anyway, you're probably wondering how I managed to recruit such big bad dudes, right?" Zeed X asked as he conjured a screen that showed him infiltrating a universe. "I didn't just enter a dimension. I infiltrated one of the 12 Digiverses that Whismon and Beerusmon alluded to, Taichi and Yamato." He referred this to Omega X and Metalla X. "Do you not remember?"

"Yeah, I do! So, which Digiverse did these two come from?" Omega X queried.

"From the 11th Digiverse."

"Digiverse 11?" Metalla X muttered.

"But, I didn't merely go there. I went back in time and kinda meddled with the timestream in it. I went to a time when this man here was a child," Zeed X pointed to Jirenmon. "Before I altered Digiverse 11's timestream, Jirenmon grew up into an upstanding citizen of his world and earned enough credentials to join the Digital Pride Troopers. He was a more pleasant fella and earned the respect of his peers… but wasn't in the way of personality. He was just a more blander Superman. He fought evil with a smile on his face. Just your typical goodie-good superhero. He built himself to fight in the name of justice after his teacher and successor, Omegamon X. However…" He snapped his fingers that showed a ghastly image of a ruined village. "Word had it that some villain swiftly went in and wiped out Jirenmon's entire village overnight. That same villain then took on Omegamon X, the defender of the weak, and soundly defeated him in battle. Wanna guess who did him and Jirenmon's family and people in?" He pointed to himself.

"You bastard! How could you?!" Volodramon berated him.

"You killed Jirenmon's teacher?!" Glacialis Sedna exclaimed.

"What's worse, you committed the taboo of altering time!" Devil Homura snapped.

"Heh, you're one to talk, time traveler," Zeed X retorted, eyeing Devil Homura first before veering toward Angemon X. "Excuse me, time travelers. And of course, the Time Guardian who couldn't be asked to prevent their time meddling." He arched an eyebrow facing Tempus Pluto.

"Get on with your story," Tempus Pluto furrowed her brows.

"Hmm, where was I? Yes, I was getting to my favorite part!" Zeed X displayed the next sequence of events. The first image showed Zeed X and Omegamon X engaging one on one. "Omegamon X was a formidable opponent. While not quite as strong as some of you. He possessed the All-Delete power, which he vowed never to use unless a powerful enemy like me should ever turn up. Well, I turned up and wrecked Jirenmon's world. When Omegamon X was forced to take extreme measures, he unleashed his All-Delete, which I took with no effect." He then showed the next image: Zeed X killing Omegamon X and leaving immediately when a young Jirenmon showed up to retrieve his fallen master. "In just one night, I turned a man with a bright future to one with a dark, uncertain future. I left Jirenmon to live training his hardest to avenge his fallen master. His hatred for the man who murdered his master pushed him to become the strongest in Digiverse 11. In time, Jirenmon's joined the Digital Pride Troopers with a new purpose: to deal justice to the wicked, but gone was that smile. In private, he still swore revenge against his master's killer. Little did he know, one night after a rescue mission…" The next set of images showed Jirenmon's rise as it came to a recent event. "I appeared to fight Jirenmon and Toppomon. Sensing Jirenmon's power, I was pleased. He had topped his universe's God of Destruction in power. However, I was still head and shoulders above them in the pecking order. After beating them, I trapped and placed these two under mind control."

"Why did you recruit these two besides to fight us?" Omega X questioned the anomalous one's motive.

"What else? I needed strong hands to keep you busy, but you're right… there was another purpose," Zeed X said, briefly eyeing ZarcDramon X. "But, never mind that. These two are itching for warriors to fight. So, why don't we get down to the nitty gritty?"

With that, Jirenmon and Toppomon both powered up and intense battle auras exploded over them. Omega X, Metalla X, Angemon X, Glacialis Sedna, Tempus Pluto, Volodramon, Devil Homura, and Hit held their ground against the Digital Pride Trooper duo. They felt the wind wisping from their auras blowing against them.

"This is unbelievable!" Glacialis Sedna paled in shock as Angemon X calmed her down.

"Remember, we gotta get through them if we want to reach Kensuke and Christina!" Angemon X reminded her. "We can't let even these two deter us!"

Hearing this from her boyfriend, Glacialis Sedna regained her self confidence. "Yes, you're right. For brother and Christina!"

Tempus Pluto readied her Garnet Staff. "Their powers eclipses even my sister's when I fought her not too long ago!"

Volodramon reassured the Time Guardian. "Don't let up, Setsuna. We'll manage this somehow!"

Devil Homura added. "What choice do we have?"

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Fierce Battle Against A Mighty Foe)

"Do you all hear that? This song is composed by the real-life gods themselves." Zeed X commented, humming the epic-sounding track. He turned to Jirenmon and Toppomon. "Ok, gentlemen, go and rough them up. No, crush their spirits and kill them if you must!"

Complying with the anomalous being's orders, Jirenmon and Toppomon slowly walked toward the heroes. Jirenmon set his sights on Omega X, Metalla X, Angemon X, and Hit.

Jirenmon quickly rushed the three Ascendants and the assassin. Omega X flew at Jirenmon and jabbed his face. Unfazed, Jirenmon belted Omega X with a right punch and sent him flying. Omega X landed on his feet.

"Tai!" Angemon X charged up Ki in his palms and fired a quick Finish Buster at the Digital Pride Trooper.

Jirenmon caught the future warrior's beam and nullified it with a blast. Metalla X phased behind Jirenmon and went for a rear attack. Jirenmon casually turned and punched Metalla X back. Unable to put up his guard in time, Metalla X absorbed the impact of Jirenmon's punch. Metalla X got punched far back.

"You've got one hell of a punch! But that won't do me in!" Omega X rebounded and made a mad dash toward Jirenmon. He cupped his hands and launched a Tsunami Wave head-on with Jirenmon.

Jirenmon gritted and pushed against Omega X's signature beam. Then, to the surprise of the Ascendant and his allies, Jirenmon physically walked through the Tsunami Wave. With a finger chop, he split the beam in two and dashed at Omega X. Jirenmon unloaded a barrage of punches on Omega X, who put up his guard. However, the quicker Jirenmon punched, the faster he broke the Ascendant's defenses and one punched Omega X far back.

Angemon X quickly went on the offensive and fired multiple Ki blasts at the Digital Pride Trooper. Jirenmon reacted and vanished. Before Angemon X knew it, a powerful force punched him in the gut. Angemon X doubled over and right in front of him was Jirenmon.

I couldn't even see him move…! Angemon X blanched and coughed.

Jirenmon then attacked at such extreme speeds that Angemon X felt like he was pummeled by a powerful barrage of punches in an instant.

"Dimitri!" Metalla X dove in to save the future warrior. He intercepted Jirenmon with a Ki beam.

Jirenmon turned his sights toward Metalla X's intervention. With a simple glare, Metalla X went down hard as if he had been attacked.

What the hell just happened?! Metalla X doubled over on the ground. It didn't even feel like he even moved…! Yet, I did see punches connecting with me! There's someone like him who can move and attack at those ungodly speeds?!

"Father!" Angemon X went for a countermeasure against Jirenmon, but the Digital Pride Trooper shifted right in front of him.

Jirenmon charged up a red-orange Ki ball in his land and planted it into Angemon X's gut. He discharged his signature move, Power Impact, and powered it up maximizing its growth relative to Angemon X's size. Both Angemon X and the fiery orb are sailing far back as it exploded in the background.

"You son of a bitch!" Metalla X lunged at Jirenmon.

Jirenmon caught Metalla X's punch and effortlessly repelled him with a shockwave. Metalla X took to the air and cupped his hands forward. The Bearer of Friendship charged up and launched a Final Blaze at the Digital Pride Trooper.

Jirenmon held his ground without budging an inch. Without so much of a glare, Jirenmon released an immense Ki from his eyes invisible to everyone's view. The Ki force collided with and nullified Metalla X's Final Blaze. Jirenmon then shot up and uppercutted Metalla X's chin hard, knocking him away.

"Damn, just what kind of freak did you recruit, Zeed X?" Omega X gritted, pulling himself up on his own.

As Jirenmon turned toward Omega X, a beam came out of nowhere and aimed for the Digital Pride Trooper's chest. Jirenmon's keen senses barely picked up, allowing him to sidestep the beam. Jirenmon jumped away. Hit appeared from out of thin air and confronted him.

"About time you took action, Hit," Omega X remarked.

"The bastard saw my beam coming that far off," Hit observed. "His ability to track movements are bar none above anything I've dared to assassinate on job assignments."

"Don't even try it again since he'll know when it's coming," Omega X said as he dropped into a fighting stance.

"So, what do you propose, Tai?"

"Heh, I haven't thought that far ahead yet," Omega X lightly chuckled.

Jirenmon slowly paced toward Omega X and Hit the Hitmon. The duo rushed Jirenmon and attacked him head-on. Omega X went for the usual pattern of fisticuffs and kicks. Hit went for more precise strikes. Jirenmon casually parried his opponents' blows. He phased through Omega X and Hit.

Omega X charged up and fired a Tsunami Wave. Jirenmon stopped the bluish beam with a Ki-imbued fist. Hit quickly phased out, disappearing from Jirenmon's view. As Hit reappeared behind Jirenmon, the Digital Pride Trooper turned around and punched Hit. His fist seemingly went through Hit, who vanished out of thin air.

"I've got you," Hit pointed his fist to the back of Jirenmon's head. "Don't move."

Jirenmon's eyes flared and unleashed a wave that knocked Hit away.

Meanwhile, ZarcDramon X slowly came to and became drawn to Jirenmon's power. He rose and growled.

"Oooh, you really want in, do ya, Kenny?" Zeed X asked, taunting ZarcDramon X.

As ZarcDramon X stood on his own power, Zeed X became slightly irked.

"You're stubborn one, Ken, but don't worry you'll be joining the fray soon."

Toppomon rushed toward the others.

"Here he comes!" Tempus Pluto yelled out as she, Volodramon, Glacialis Sedna, and Devil Homura.

Boom!

Toppomon punched the ground hard enough to split the entire city block everyone stood on. The ground shook and shattered in an instant. The impact created from Toppomon caused a huge impression to form. Toppomon yanked his fist from the ground. Before he could attack again, Tempus Pluto unleashed a powerful Dead Scream. Volodramon fired Temporal Exaflare. Toppomon quickly stopped both attacks with his bare hands. He then crushed them blasts as they exploded inside his palms.

"Not even a scathe?!" Volodramon exclaimed.

"Let us regroup!" Tempus Pluto slammed her Garnet Staff, casting a time freeze ability that slowed Toppomon's movements. She and Volodramon took to the air as they repeated their attacks on the now slow behemoth.

"Sheesh, what did I just say? I've imbued them with my power, so these two are largely immune to your time-based magic," Zeed X chuckled as with a snap of his fingers Toppomon was free to move quickly.

Charging like a locomotive, Toppomon broke out of Pluto's time spell. He jumped up to grab both Tempus Pluto and Volodramon. Then, a barrage of black rays and icicles struck him from the sides.

"So our time powers are useless now? Pluto and I have other means to fight with!" Devil Homura cried out as she bombarded and knocked Toppomon back with her beam barrage.

"Pluto, Volodramon, we came just in time!" Glacialis Sedna cried out. Swinging down her Ice Trident, she sent more icicles that stabbed Toppomon's arms.

"Justice shall be served!" Toppomon roared, firing rapid Ki beams from his fingertips. He turned to his right, shooting beams like machine gun fire at Glacialis Sedna first.

Glacialis Sedna formed an ice wall, which stopped Toppomon's blasts temporarily. This gave her enough time to move as the continuous blasts shattered her ice wall. She glided away, avoiding Toppomon's Justice Flash beams. He veered over toward Devil Homura and directed his beams at her. Devil Homura conjured black tendrils shaped like blades from her back and batted away the beams. Devil Homura flew into the air, evading Toppomon's blasts.

"Pluto, forgive me for what I'm about to do. Granted, it's a stupid move on my part," Volodramon said as he dove head-on toward Toppomon.

"John!" Tempus Pluto cried out.

"Hey, you Lorax-looking muthafucka! Up here!" Volodramon goaded the Digital Pride Trooper. He charged up energy in his hands and unleashed a volley of Temporal Exaflare beams.

Toppomon hastily turned his Justice Flash barrage and wiped out all of Volodramon's blasts. Volodramon flew so fast he vanished out of thin air and got behind Toppomon. Volodramon charged up his right hand and shoved it through Toppomon's back.

"Heh, you let your guard down, big man!" Volodramon grinned sadistically, charging up a beam powerful enough to blow an exit hole through him.

Tempus Pluto seized this opportunity, ripping the Garnet Orb from her staff. She then tapped into the orb's power, sending cyclone-powered attack at Toppomon. Pluto's Chronos Typhoon collided with Toppomon, who was paralyzed by Volodramon. Toppomon grunted and fell to a knee.

"We've got him, Pluto! Just once more-!" Volodramon beckoned his love interest to repeat her attack.

"Yes, one more…!" Tempus Pluto prepared to conjure her Chronos Typhoon.

(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - A Fearsome Foe)

"No, villains… like you… must be punished…" Toppomon growled as he ripped his shirt off. Then, a dark purple glow covered Toppomon. Toppomon's physical frame began to change in conjunction with this aura radiating over him.

"This aura…" Volodramon probed Toppomon's glow. "No, don't me…! This power feels similar to those God of Destruction beings like Beerusmon!"

"What?! So, we've been fighting a Digital God of Destruction?!" Glacialis Sedna exclaimed.

"Well, this is going to prove troublesome," Devil Homura muttered.

As Jirenmon went straight for Omega X and Hit, he abruptly halted his advance. He sensed his comrade's power escalating and frowned.

"Toppomon, you're going all out, aren't you? Those opponents you're facing must've pushed you," Jirenmon muttered.

"Whoa, this power is coming from that big guy with the mustache?" Omega X wondered, feeling Toppomon's power. "This energy feels like Lord Beerusmon."

"And Lord Champamon," Hit added.

"That guy has a Digital God of Destruction's power?!" Metalla X rose, sensing Toppomon's Ki rising. He finished feeding Angemon X a Digi-Vitamin.

Healed from the Digi-Vitamin, Angemon X stood up and drew out his sword.

xxxxx

Upon sensing the divine power emanating from Toppomon, Beerusmon and Champamon were on alert.

"Hey, brother. You sense that?" Champamon asked, growing disturbed with this new power coming out of Toppomon.

"So, those unfounded rumors of Digiverse 11 mortals with power on par with us Gods of Destruction is true," Beerusmon gritted, feeling at unease. "But, this fellow just invoked destruction power, partly thanks to Zeed X's influence."

Whismon added. "No telling how quickly this world will be erased with two God of Destruction-level beings now fighting for Zeed X."

Vadosmon nodded. "Perhaps it's time for us to finally intervene?"

Moinanea concurred. "Yes, and since the Synister Lords have combined, this is the red flag for us to interject."

Toushinmon growled. "I'll find my Taichi first and regroup with you all."

Moinanea turned to Toushinmon. "I shall join you if you don't mind."

Mukuromon nodded. "Be careful, Toushinmon."

Hadesmon declared. "DigiMazoku Lords, back into the fray we go!"

With that, the DigiMazoku Lords and Moinanea stormed off first to participate in the Synister Lord battle.

"Lord Beerusmon, finding out about these two God of Destruction-level mortals and confronting Zeed X take priority. We must also ensure our Taichi doesn't fall in battle," Whismon suggested.

"Yes, agreed. Let's go," Beerusmon said with a serious demeanor.

Next, the two Gods of Destruction and their angel attendants teleported from their location.

Finally finishing his transformation, Toppomon was a much taller wall of muscle. All the fat he had around his midsection hardened into rock hard muscles. Even his short arms and legs not only grew, but gained considerable muscle mass. His eyes gleamed with dark purple light. On his chest, a bright red symbol glowed profusely.

Great, this isn't good! Volodramon thought. "Pluto, retreat-!" Before he can finish, Toppomon snapped around and punched Volodramon so hard he sent him flying into a wall of debris.

Boom!

Volodramon's entire body crashed into a wall. His head snapped forward and blood came spewing from his mouth.

"JOHN!" Tempus Pluto screamed in horror.

"I barely even saw him move!" Glacialis Sedna cried out.

Toppomon dropped into a football lineman stance. He then launched himself forward and smashed shoulder first into Volodramon, crashing him through several feet of debris and sending him flying back. Volodramon crashed into the ground a broken and bloody mess. Toppomon landed near Volodramon and methodically walked toward him.

"Hold on, John!" Tempus Pluto shouted as she summoned Lupe. As Lupe merged with her, Tempus Pluto gained some of Lupe's wolf attributes, including superhuman strength and wolf-like aggressiveness. She swiftly flew down.

Toppomon raised a fist preparing to smash Volodramon in one blow. As he went for the killing blow, a flash of dark light cut him off. Volodramon stirred and clarified his blurry vision, seeing Tempus Pluto standing over him. Toppomon is taken aback as Tempus Pluto stood between him and her love interest.

"PLUTO!" Glacialis Sedna and Devil Homura yelled out in fear of the Time Guardian.

"Pluto… don't throw your life away… for me…" Volodramon weakly pleaded, cringing in pain as he used his body to crawl to her.

(End theme)

Tempus Pluto snarled. Her now golden wolf eyes pierced a menacing glare that barely fazed Toppomon. The Digital Pride Trooper put a hand in front of Tempus Pluto's face, forming a small Destruction Ball.

"That's… Pluto, don't…! Get away from here!" Volodramon pleaded to her.

"Let's get those two out of there, Sedna!" Devil Homura yelled as they flew down to retrieve Tempus Pluto and Volodramon.

As Toppomon prepared to fire off his Destruction Ball, Devil Homura whisked away the Time Guardian. Glacialis Sedna summoned Knut the polar bear to grab Volodramon. Toppomon immediately called off his attack and turned to his right. He spotted the four relocate.

"Pluto!" Glacialis Sedna gasped as Tempus Pluto snarled like a wolf and was on all fours. Seeing John this badly hurt has pushed Pluto to this?! "Pluto, please…!"

(Cue Sailor Moon Crystal OST - Daimon)

Devil Homura grabbed Tempus Pluto, whose emotional distress caused her to snap. Tempus Pluto unleashed a dark purple aura that pushed the demoness back. Tempus Pluto's appearance started taking on more wolf-like traits. Her teeth grew and became sharper. A wolf's tail poked out of her rear. Tufts of her own hair formed into wolf-like ears. Her yellow eyes glowed. The sclera in her eyes thinned, giving the others the impression her mind was overtaken by Lupe's fury.

"Pluto… don't let anger consume you… I'm still alive…!" Volodramon called out, but his words fell on deaf ears.

As claws formed in her hands and her dark green hair turned dark gray, Tempus Pluto completed her feral transformation. She quickly lunged out of Devil Homura's arms and rushed Toppomon with murderous intent. Toppomon fired a Destruction Ball. Tempus Pluto evaded the incoming destructive bal and jumped. Toppomon unleashed Justice Flash. Tempus Pluto unleashed an immense aura that knocked away Toppomon's blasts. Tempus Pluto quickly vanished and reappeared on Toppomon's left side. Tempus Pluto crunched Toppomon's left side in her jaws. She clamped down hard, refusing to let go.

"PLUTO!" Glacialis Sedna screamed.

"We've got to get her off or he's going to kill her!" Devil Homura took no chances and flew off to grab Tempus Pluto.

"She's completely… lost herself… all because of me…" Volodramon grimaced. "This is my fault."

"No, we had no idea this guy had some kind of God of Destruction power!" The Kuiper said.

As Toppomon grabbed Tempus Pluto's head, he punched her. Tempus Pluto stubbornly refused to let go. Toppomon quickly tried shaking the wolf woman off. Devil Homura quickly fired a black beam in Toppomon's face, not only blindsiding him but pulled Tempus Pluto to safety.

Try as she might, Devil Homura couldn't hold Tempus Pluto. The feral wolf woman lunged and punched Toppomon's face, as the force of her punch created a shockwave that wiped out everything behind Toppomon. The Digital Pride Trooper, on the other hand, remained unfazed and scowled. Tempus Pluto unleashed claw strikes all over Toppomon's body.

"Enough, Pluto! John is fine! He's still alive!" Glacialis Sedna pleaded to her former teacher.

"No, she's lost it… no amount of words can stop her now… maybe except me…" Volodramon muttered, closing his eyes and focusing by forming a mental link with her. Pluto, it's me, John! Please, cease this mindless attack! You're going to get your bloody self killed! The Pluto I know would never attack head-on without a plan! I love you as the calm, kind and methodical woman you are! Merging with Lupe in your current mental state wasn't the best idea!

As Volodramon pleaded on, Tempus Pluto continued clawing at Toppomon. Toppomon unleashed a force that repelled her. Tempus Pluto rebounded and went on the attack again.

Look at you, Pluto! The animal you've become! If you were to look at yourself in a mirror, you'd realize you look like one of those damned furries! I ask you, as a man who deeply loves you to calm down… Setsuna Meioh, I love you!

(End theme)

As Tempus Pluto went for a straight jab to Toppomon's head, she paused as her mind seemingly snapped back to reality. Her yellow wolf eyes faded. Her normal red eyes resurfaced.

"J-John…" Tempus Pluto muttered as teardrops fell from her eyes.

"PLUTO!" Devil Homura cried as she pushed the Time Guardian out of Toppomon's Destruction Ball, which bypassed the two and deleted a giant pile of debris. She crash landed carrying Tempus Pluto on her shoulder.

Tempus Pluto came to and noticed her wolf-like features. "Wh-What just happened?"

Volodramon coughed. "...well… I got my bloody ass handed to me… you snapped, merged with Lupe, and turned into a wolf furry, but mind you a very strong and beautiful wolf woman."

Looking at her wolf claws, Tempus Pluto then ran her tongue over her teeth. Her tongue touched a sharp point, which was her fang. She was surprised by how sharp her teeth became. She noted her wolf ears and tail.

"My merger with Lupe went this far?!" Tempus Pluto realized she had become a literal beast woman.

Lupe telepathically spoke to her. "You completely lost yourself and as a result of merging me, our fury awakened the inner beast and caused this feral transformation. And all of this because you witnessed John nearly die. I'm sorry for not preventing this, Lady Pluto."

"No, we brought this on ourselves. I let my anger get the best of me… and I'm still mentally recovering from ending Charon's existence," Tempus Pluto sighed, turning over to Volodramon. "John, I…"

Volodramon put a finger to her lips. "...heh, don't apologize, love. Let's just get our heads on straight and get back into action, Setsuna." He grabbed Tempus Pluto's hands and leaned his forehead with hers.

"He's coming! Get ready to fight!" Glacialis Sedna beckoned as she and Devil Homura confronted Toppomon.

(Cue Sailor Moon Crystal OST - Magnificent Counterattack)

Suddenly, a beacon of light formed above Volodramon and Tempus Pluto's heads. They noticed the glowing orb took the shape of a Digivice. Not just any Digivice, but its is the B.A.X. Digivice Kensuke is known to wield. The device fell into Tempus Pluto's hands.

"What is… it's a Digivice?" Tempus Pluto gasped, examining the handheld instrument.

"Are you surprised? This… is a sign of our love, Setsuna," Volodramon chuckled, putting his hand on the Digivice. "Even though we're an item, this officially makes us partners."

"Yes,' Tempus Pluto smiled as her and Volodramon's hands closed over the Digivice.

A burst of light came out of the Digivice. It helped cleanse the Time Guardian, turning her back to normal. Lupe remained inside the Time Guardian with his power still resonating in her. It also healed Volodramon's wounds. Both stood holding their Digivice. They leaned and kissed each other.

"You ready to make the impossible possible, my fair lady?"

"We've already made the impossible happen. I'm officially a Chosen thanks to you."

"Heh, right."

Holding out her B.A.X. Digivice, Tempus Pluto charged Volodramon with more power.

"If I recall, I think this is how Kensuke fuses his partners and fused me with Titaniamon!" Tempus Pluto declared as she invoked her first Digivice command. With her Digivice, she and Volodramon combined into Tempus Pluto Volo Mode, which was essentially her still as Tempus Pluto but gaining Volodramon's wings, his shoulder armor, and his Sonic Screwdriver tail, which merged with her Garnet Staff.

As Devil Homura and Glacialis Sedna stopped their attack, they watched Tempus Pluto VM float over to them. Toppomon quickly took to the air and unleashed a barrage of blasts. Tempus Pluto VM formed a barrier, nullifying the Digital Pride Trooper's beams.

"Welcome back, Pluto, and kudos to becoming Volodramon's official partner," Glacialis Sedna said.

"We've always been partners, but this Digivice fully solidifies our bond," Tempus Pluto VM firmly stated. "Our fight here isn't done." She hardened a determined glare toward Toppomon. "On my lead!"

"Right!" Glacialis Sedna and Devil Homura hollered.

The trio took to the air and headed off Toppomon. Toppomon tossed another Destruction Ball. The trio dodged, letting it dissolve a building in their place. Tempus Pluto VM flapped her draconian wings, sending black orbs that collided with Toppomon. Glacialis Sedna and Devil Homura took turns blasting Toppomon.

"Don't let up and stay on him!" Tempus Pluto VM commanded, recalling her Garnet Orb. She amassed plentiful energy from the orb and a dark beam, which she called her Chronos Temporal Exaflare. The attack, ten times stronger than Volodramon's basic Temporal Exaflare, collided head-on and fazed Toppomon.

Toppomon turned around furiously. "Evil must be destroyed!" He prepared another Destruction Ball, but ice quickly formed over his hand.

Glacialis Sedna utilized her ice powers to temporarily bind Toppomon. This gave Devil Homura room to blast Toppomon far back.

"Nicely done!" Tempus Pluto VM praised her compatriots.

As he nearly crashed landed, Toppomon barely propelled himself into the air and manifested his Destruction Aura. The God of Destruction-level warrior grunted, intently glaring down his three foes.

"I won't fall, not to evil like you!" Toppomon bellowed, asserting his authority as a God of Destruction-level being.

Meanwhile, the other Kuiper Senshi, Tike/AltronGundamon, Kara/SandrockGundamon, David/HeavyArmsGundamon, Sam/DeathScytheGundamon, and Kensuke's Digimon Army dropped near the Jirenmon and Toppomon battle locations.

Titaniamon narrowed her eyes. "Over there! I see Kensuke!"

Aduro Varuna readied Mjolnir. "Then, that's where we're going next, everyone. And Orcus will be there with him."

Ventus Eris swung Stormbreaker. "Then, let's bring them back home with us!"

Rosa Quaoar nodded. "Kensuke and Christina need us more than ever!"

Potio Ixion added. "Then, there's time for delay. Let's get over there!"

However, Tike, inside AltronGundamon, seemed less enthused. The other D3s noted their friend's sudden silence. He seemed rather reluctant to go to where Kensuke was, especially after what happened the last he was near Kensuke.

"Tike, I know you might be feeling, but you have to remember it was Zeed X that manipulated Kensuke's mind. He made Kensuke think you were Zeed X," Sam reasoned with him.

"That jackass made us all look like him just to screw with Ken's head!" Kara cried out. "C'mon, bro! No matter how you may think of him, he needs support now!"

David sighed. "Gotta agree with the others, Tike."

Shaking his head, Tike facepalmed and rubbed his face. "Ok, you guys convinced me."

"You guys might not necessarily need to help us with Ken…" CyberBeelzemon said as he and others already felt Jirenmon and Toppomon's Ki from afar. "Holy shit, you're getting a reading on those energies?!"

OmegaShoutmon shuddered with dread. "Yep, who the heck are these two?!"

Titaniamon deduced, sensing the Digital Pride Trooper's Ki. "Whoever they are, everyone enemy we've faced up to now pale in comparison to them."

Ventus Eris put on a determined face. "But, we're not going to turn back now. Karin, Christina, and Kensuke need us now."

Harena Haumea raised a fist and hollered. "No way, we're going in!"

Illusio Makemake gasped. "But, Haumea, we can't forget about Duke, Tristan, Yugi, and the others! What if they're already here?!"

Aduro Varuna scoffed, looking over to her peers. "You better make up your minds now. We're heading out there where those two powerful energies are. Just know we're entering a life or death battle. There's no guarantee we'll survive."

(Cue Fate/Zero OST - The Battle is to the Strong)

The other Kuipers, the D3s & their Gundam Digimon, and Kensuke's Digimon Army resolved and advanced toward the two battle locations. Along the way, they were stopped by several Synisters and Black clones. The Kuiper Senshi, the Gundam Digimon, and Kensuke's Digimon made short work of them.

"There's more coming!" Illusio Makemake cried out.

"Bring it on, asswipes! We'll clear the way!" Tike declared as he and AltronGundamon fired a barrage of beams that ripped apart and incinerated a bunch of Synisters.

SandrockGundamon, HeavyArmsGundamon, and DeathScytheGundamon quickly bombarded Black clones and Synisters, wiping a whole lot of them.

To finish things off, Aduro Varuna and Ventus Eris wiped out the remaining Synisters and Black clones that blocked their way. Aduro Varuna wiped out a bunch with a barrage of lightning blasts. Ventus Eris swiftly brought down Stormbreaker, sending a powerful surge of raw power that wiped out the enemies.

"That should take care of them! Thankfully, we can move forward," Potio Ixion added.

After wiping out the Synister and Black clone armies, the group saw Sailor Gao Puto & Ratatoskr and Meryl & Mastemon descend near their location.

"Hina! Thank goodness you're ok!" Rosa Quaoar was thrilled to see the Lycan Senshi.

"Looking to join us?" Aduro Varuna asked her and Meryl.

"Yes, if you don't mind," Meryl nodded. "I was looking for my dad."

"Mummymon? That dummy's still managing to hang in there?!" Tike cried out.

As if she had seen a ghost, Meryl quickly recognized Tike's voice as she gasped. "...Tike? Tike! Is that really you?!"

Confirming Meryl's suspicion, Tike stepped out of AltronGundamon. The boy modestly rubbed his head.

"Yep! Hey, Meryl."

"But, you're really alive?! My gosh, you are!" Meryl wailed happily for him.

"I'm kinda alive and kinda not. You see…" Tike pointed to his halo.

"You're like an angel!" Meryl giggled.

"That's cause I am!"

Kara giggled inside SandrockGundamon. "Aww, how I miss you two being together."

Sailor Gao Pluto sighed. "Tike's here, but not Athena?"

Meryl's happy demeanor was replaced with sadness. "Please, don't remind me."

"Well, we're ready to go! Godmother is out there fighting the enemy! I want to be there with her!" Sailor Gao Pluto pleaded.

Ventus Eris smirked. "Where do you think we're going, little Hina?"

"This way, everyone! Since those two immense powers are in two different locations, we'll split up! Myself and Eris will lead two groups!" Aduro Varuna declared.

With that, Aduro Varuna took a group consisting Sam/DeathScytheGundamon, Tike/AltronGundamon, Rosa Quaoar, Harena Haumea, Illusio Makemake, Meryl & Mastemon, OmegaShoutmon, Utopia, and Kensuke's remaining Digimon Army. They headed for Jirenmon's battle location.

Ventus Eris took a group consisting Sailor Gao Pluto & Ratatoskr, Kara/SandrockGundamon, David/HeavyArmsGundamon, Potio Ixion, Titaniamon, and CyberBeelzemon. They went straight for Toppomon's location.

Don't worry, dad! We'll come and find you! Just hang on, where you are! Meryl had Mummymon in her thoughts.

Elsewhere, Mummymon hid behind debris having exhausted himself after ambushing and taking out some extremely weak-level Synisters. A Black Bakemon floated by scanning the area. Mummymon packed ammo into his rifle.

"Meryl, wherever you are, honey buns… I'm coming for you." Mummymon quickly ambushed and blasted the Black Bakemon. "YEAH! DADDY'S COMING TO SAVE YOU! BRING IT ON, YOU FREAKS!"

Resuming their battle, Jirenmon engaged Omega X, Hit, Metalla X, and Angemon X.

Jirenmon blasted Omega X and Hit away with his battle aura.

Angemon X charged up Ki into his sword and slashed at Jirenmon, attempting to behead him. Jirenmon raised a hand, catching the wielder's sword with one hand. Jiremon pulled Angemon X forward and kicked him far back. Metalla X then landed a quick jab to Jiremon's face. Jirenmon took the face shot and grunted.

"Heh, finally got a hit on you!" Metalla X boasted as he unloaded a flurry of punches on Jirenmon. "You can't block my attacks forever! Fatigue will eventually settle in for you! Now tucker out already!"

Jirenmon parried Metalla X's blows. As Metalla X went for a straight jab, Jirenmon shot a piercing glance, sending an immense shockwave that repelled the Ascendant back.

Both Omega X and Hit stood poised ready to meet Jirenmon head-on again.

Jirenmon taunted them coldly. "Keep this up and you two will die."

Omega X growled. "Yeah, is that a threat?"

"Hey, Tai! Dimitri! Matt!" A voice belonging to Aduro Varuna called out to them.

The Ascendants, Hit, and Jirenmon noticed Aduro Varuna and her entourage arrive on the scene.

"There's Ken and Christina over there!" Rosa Quaoar pointed to ZarcDramon X.

"Hey, Ken! Veemon! Christina! We're here!" OmegaShoutmon called out to his partner, Digimon compatriot, and the Kuiper.

"How are we going to break this curse Zeed X has placed on them?" Utopia wondered.

"We'll figure it out. Maybe Mjolnir will do the trick?" Aduro Varuna stared at Thor's hammer.

(End theme)

Just then, Zeed X intercepted Aduro Varuna and company from getting near ZarcDramon X.

"Aww, sorry, but you'll have to wait your turn. Ken and I were having a nice chat. We were just talking about you," Zeed X chuckled. "So glad you can join us, Kuiper Senshi and friends." He noticed Tike/AltronGundamon. "And so nice for you to join us again, Tike the pottymouth."

"I'm coming for your ass, you jackass!" Tike threatened.

"Go ahead, and I'll just kill you. Oh, and last I checked if an undead soul dies, then they can't reincarnate or be revived by a plot device. Sucks to be you, Tike," Zeed X shrugged and chuckled nonchalantly.

"Tike, I know you're gung-ho about getting back at this guy, but hear him out. You die in your dead state and you'll never be revived. Your soul will just cease," Sam warned his trigger-happy friend. "And revenge is not always worth it. Let's beat him together."

Calming down, Tike sighed deeply. "Ok, ok, I'm convinced."

Jirenmon shifted his focus on the newcomers and unleashed an immense shockwave that knocked away most of the group. The two D3s and their Gundam Digimon flew into the air. Aduro Varuna, Rosa Quaoar, Harena Haumea, Illusio Makemake, OmegaShoutmon, and Utopia spread out. Both Meryl and Mastemon took cover for safety.

"Be careful, everyone! This guys is dangerously powerful! He can also perceive your moves before you make them!" Omega X warned Aduro Varuna and the others.

"Jirenmon, why don't you make short work of these bugs?" Zeed X ordered the Digital Pride Trooper to attack Aduro Varuna and the others.

Suddenly, ZarcDramon X roared and expelled flame-like waves from his giant frame. He quickly set his sights on both Jirenmon and Zeed X.

"Heh, did I strike a nerve?" Zeed X taunted ZarcDramon X.

(Cue FINAL MISSION~QUANTUM BURST - Gundam 00 Movie OST)

ZarcDramon X launched toward Jirenmon and Zeed X. The dragon beast went on the offense and attacked them both. Jirenmon crossed his arms, absorbing most of the impact of ZarcDramon X's deadly force. Zeed X casually put up a barrier, guarding him from the dragon's attack. Fueled by rage, ZarcDramon X headbutted Jirenmon back and went straight for Zeed X. He snatched Zeed X and smashed him hard into the ground. Zeed X put his hands up to stop the beast, but ZarcDramon X repeatedly stomped on the anomalous being.

"All right, stay on him, Ken and Christina! Crush that bastard!" Aduro Varuna encouraged them.

"Oh no, look!" Harena Haumea cried out.

To everyone's disbelief, Zeed X floated up and grabbed ZarcDramon X's claw. ZarcDramon X struggled to break loose and unleashed a fiery blast in Zeed X's face.

Boom!

As the smoke cleared, ZarcDramon X saw no trace of Zeed X. However, someone tapped his shoulder. ZarcDramon X turned around and was met with a punch to his face. Zeed X quickly grabbed ZarcDramon X's face and channeled dark energies to further burn the dragon's face.

"Playtime is over, Kensuke," Zeed X muttered in a dark, sinister tone, ditching the carefree demeanor completely.

As Zeed X crushed ZarcDramon X's face, Platinum Orcus, who had been in a sleep-like state inside the dragon's chest, awoke with a start and screamed with fury.

"And you can keep silent, too!" Zeed X slammed ZarcDramon X through a building and unleashed a barrage of beams over the fallen dragon.

"KEN! CHRISTINA!" Aduro Varuna and Rosa Quaoar cried out.

"Leave them alone, Zeed X!" Omega X demanded, charging up for another Tsunami Wave.

"You mess with our friends! You deal with us!" Angemon X declared as he powered up into his Super state.

"Kensuke and I have had our differences, but you're not killing that man and the woman," Metalla X raised a hand preparing to shoot Zeed X with a Big Bang Attack.

Chortling, Zeed X descended to the ground. "That's rich coming from you, Yamakins. Why, it's almost as if you've accepted Kensuke is your friend after you two have been trying to kill each other for years."

Metalla X scowled in response. "...shut up."

"And that's all the proof I need to hear. By the way, I'm sure you three and Kensuke still feel lonely without that sweet child who gave her own life selflessly to save you all from Zamasmon's finishing attack," Zeed X reminded them of a certain Ascendant child's recent sacrifice. "I see, judging by those pathetic looks on your faces, you dearly miss her. Don't worry. I can arrange that. Athena is dying to meet you."

As he said this, Zeed X's face morphed into Athena's. Everyone closest to Athena, including Omega X, Angemon X, Metalla X, and ZarcDramon X, were horrified seeing the child's face again.

"Athena?!" Angemon X yelled out as he quickly stopped himself and accepted the cruel reality. He gritted and growled intensely. "Zeed X… YOU BASTARD!" He prepared to attack him, but Metalla X stopped him.

"Don't be a fool, Dimitri! He's manipulating you using Athena's face!" Metalla X had to snap sense out of him.

Omega X growled. "This is low of you, Zeed X!"

Giggling, Zeed X's 'Athena' face gave an oh sweet innocent smile. "Who's Zeed X, Grunkle Tai?" 'She' turned toward Angemon X. "Daddy, why are you so upset?" 'She' then faced Metalla X. "Hi, Grandpa Matt, is daddy feeling ok?" 'She' then shifted toward ZarcDramon X. "And Uncle Ken, I miss you." She giggled happily.

Seeing 'Athena's' face invoked further distress within ZarcDramon X. Anger swelled up in ZarcDramon X as he raised his head and roared loudly. The roars became so loud the entire vicinity shook. ZarcDramon X's roars unleashed intense shockwaves that shook the entire planet to its core.

xxxxx

On the other side of the vicinity, Ventus Eris's group arrived to lend Tempus Pluto VM, Glacialis Sedna, and Devil Homura support against Toppomon.

"Pluto! I'm here!" Sailor Gao Pluto called out to her godmother.

"Hey, Ixion, Eris!" Glacialis Sedna called out to her Kuiper friends. She noticed Ventus Eris back to herself again. "I see you're you again. I'm glad, but sorry about Tyler. I felt his life fade away."

Ventus Eris answered proudly. "He died sacrificing himself and because of that I'm back. But, his strength runs through me now."

Glacialis Sedna smiled hearing this. "That was very honorable of him. A shame he couldn't be here to fight with us, but thankfully he left you his power."

"Tell me about it. She's gotten plenty stronger than before," Potio Ixion replied until she saw Toppomon. "Oh god."

"Whoa, check it out. So that intense power came from him?!" Ventus Eris eyed Toppomon, who radiated with a destruction aura.

"Yeah, and the energy readings I'm basing off his power alone is off the charts!" Potio Ixion exclaimed.

Glacialis Sedna added with apprehension. "You have no idea."

Tempus Pluto VM descended next to Gao Pluto, who embraced her godmother. "I'm glad you're still ok, little one."

"You, too, Pluto."

"Humph, more villainous scum for me to deliver divine justice toward?" Arrogantly grunted Toppomon. He prepared to charge to attack the group.

Just then, ZarcDramon X's power was immediately felt in the vicinity. The ground shook under them. Everyone ceased any attack and turned their attention toward the opposite direction.

"What the hell was that?!" An alarmed Kara cried out.

"I don't even wanna know," David gulped nervously.

"That was brother!" Glacialis Sedna shouted. "I'm sorry, but I have to go to him!" She beckoned Knut the polar bear and mounted him. They headed straight to ZarcDramon X's location.

"Sedna!" Ventus Eris and Potio Ixion called out to their leader.

"Go after her, you two!" Tempus Pluto VM instructed the two Kuipers.

With that, Ventus Eris and Potio Ixion flew off after Glacialis Sedna.

"I think we're all that's needed to keep this monster busy," Devil Homura said.

"We'll lend y'all help!" Kara offered as she and SandrockGundamon prepared for battle.

Readily drawing out her sword, Titaniamon declared. "Indeed, we'll be your support, Pluto and Homura!" She the noticed Pluto wearing her new B.A.X. Digivice on her waist. "Is that…?!"

"That's the same model Ken uses!" CyberBeelzemon realized. "How the hell did she get one?!"

"Doesn't matter now, CyberBeelzemon. It'll benefit us," Titaniamon said.

Toppomon quickly dove toward Titaniamon and CyberBeelzemon. They swiftly evaded Toppomon's incoming punch, which made a giant crater.

"Pluto, your Digivice! Use it to fuse me and CyberBeelzemon!" Titaniamon called out to the Time Guardian.

"Mine? But, can it work if you aren't my partners?" Tempus Pluto VM asked, taking out her B.A.X. Digivice. Then, she heard Volodramon's voice in the back of her mind.

"It's worth a shot, Setsuna! Give it a go!" He urged her on.

"Ok! Titaniamon and CyberBeelzemon combine!" Tempus Pluto VM announced as her Digivice glowed, sending two beams of light that resonated with Kensuke's Digimon couple.

As they glowed with white light, Titaniamon and CyberBeelzemon were merged together. Titaniamon's body became the base for the fused form. She gained CyberBeelzemon's cybernetic armor, including two turbines armor accessories on her shoulders (red turbine on the right and blue on the left). She carried her with her an electric shotgun. The couple became CyberTitaniamon, the perfect combination of their bond.

"At your service!" CyberTitaniamon announced, wasting no time firing electric rounds at Toppomon, who swiped them away with a wave.

"Attack all at once!" Tempus Pluto called out, leading her group to attack Toppomon.

"Ready to back them up, Hina?" Ratatoskr asked the Lycan Senshi.

"Let's do it!" Sailor Gao Pluto declared, using her Henshin Rod to transform into Tsukuyomi Mode. Ratatoskr then turned into a spiritual orb and entered her body. "I'm ready to fight!" She jumped to join the fight against Toppomon.

Kara/SandrockGundamon and David/HeavyArmsGundamon prepared to offer support for the ladies.

"Hina!" Tempus Pluto VM tried calling her off. Damn, now I have Hina to worry about. John, lend me your strength to get us through this!

xxxxx

As Glacialis Sedna, Ventus Eris, and Potio Ixion arrived, they became distraught when they saw ZarcDramon X roaring and Zeed X wearing Athena's face.

"There he is! And Christina, too!" Ventus Eris pointed to ZarcDramon X.

Glacialis Sedna was nearly speechless. Her mouth twitched as few words came out. "...th-that's brother and Christina?" She looked away, crying.

"Ugh, and that's not all! That Zeed X bastard is using Athena's face!" Potio Ixion cursed.

Without hesitation, Glacialis Sedna and Knut went forward to convene with the other Kuipers, Omega X, Angemon X, and Metalla X.

"Karin!" Angemon X noticed his girlfriend's arrival.

"Mommy's here, too? Yay!" Zeed X mocked using Athena's face and voice.

Glacialis Sedna sprang off Knut and summoned her Ice Trident. She dove toward Zeed X and swung her trident, unleashing the biggest icicle barrage she's ever manifested.

"ZEED X!" Glacialis Sedna screamed with fury.

The heavy icicle storm pierced through Zeed X. Many icicles protruded all over his body. When it was said and done, Zeed X looked like a giant pincushion. Glacialis Sedna landed behind Zeed X and started toward ZarcDramon X.

"Never mock my daughter, asshole," Glacialis Sedna muttered, focusing her efforts to reach ZarcDramon X. "Brother! Christina!"

Chuckling, Zeed X's face turned back to normal. "Well done, Karin Osaka. Being a carrier of the Light Legacy like Kensuke, I can't take you lightly." He unleashed a powerful aura that blew apart the icicles. Freeing himself, Zeed X stretched, turned and prepared to blast Sedna.

Wham!

Zeed X saw an axe blade poking through his back. He also saw Mjolnir protruding through his gut. He looked over behind him. Aduro Varuna had Mjolnor jammed through his stomach. Ventus Eris had the Stormbreaker axe shoved through the anomalous being's chest. Potio Ixion, Rosa Quaoar, Harena Haumea, and Illusio Makemake surrounded Zeed X.

"We're not letting you go easily. Not while we're still here!" Aduro Varuna yelled.

"You attack Sedna, you deal with us!" Rosa Quaoar said.

"And you take Christina for your own end means, we take that personal!" Ventus Eris cried.

"Got that right!" Harena Haumea shouted. "Heh, who would've thought you and me would be this relevant that we'd make it this far, Miho." She winked to Illusio Makemake.

"Because we have a bigger purpose now that we're Kuipers," Illusio Makemake said.

Before Zeed X can make a move, Omega X, Angemon X, and Metalla X joined in with the Kuiper Senshi.

"You mess with friends of ours, you deal with all of us!" Angemon X snapped as he and the Kuipers attacked Zeed X.

Just as Omega X and Metalla X prepared to fight with them, Jirenmon intercepted them.

"Our duel isn't finished," Jirenmon established his sights on the Ascendant duo.

"Should've known it wouldn't be that easy," Omega X scoffed as he and Metalla X engaged Jirenmon once again.

Angemon X and the Kuipers combined their attacks, forging and amassing a giant energy sphere. They tossed the empowered sphere and knocked Zeed X away with it. Zeed X managed to catch the energy ball and crushed it, shattering the orb.

"Whoo, thanks for that work-out. Almost made me sweat a bead," Zeed X mocked his opponents.

"Ugh, just shut up already!" Aduro Varuna angrily retorted, charging toward Zeed X. She snatched Stormbreaker from Ventus Eris and threw it at Zeed X, who casually stopped the battle axe with a hand. She then smashed Mjolnir over Zeed X's head, splitting it in two. "Eat that, dickface!"

"Varuna, behind you!" Rosa Quaoar called out as three black tendrils poked out behind Aduro Varuna.

Taking heed of her lover's warning, Aduro Varuna narrowly moved using Flash Step, avoiding Zeed X's deadly trap. Rosa Quaoar summoned thorny vines that cut up Zeed X's tendrils. She recalled Mjolnir to her hand and watched Zeed X regrew a new head. Angemon X ran up and punched Zeed X's stomach hard, following it up by tossing him into the air. The Ascendant pushed his hands in the air and concentrated energy into his hands. As Zeed X recovered, Angemon X unleashed his Holy Divine Punishment, a massive dome-shaped beam that collided with Zeed X.

"I shouldn't even ask, but that had to do it, right?!" Harena Haumea asked, hoping for the end of the anomalous being.

"Doubtful," Potio Ixion warned.

Angemon X growled as he felt Zeed X's presence. "His power hasn't waned. Not a damn bit!"

Zeed X floated down with little damage. He dusted both his shoulders.

"Don't be down on yourselves. Look, you managed to get dust on me and there's a few scratches." Zeed X pointed to the little damage he received. "So, chin up and smile, little troopers!"

"Ugh, we've heard enough from you!" Aduro Varuna snapped as she prepared to attack him head-on again.

Suddenly, a white beam of light plunged through Zeed X's head. The Kuipers and Angemon X were taken aback when they saw an unfamiliar newcomer emerge from a portal. It was Brunhilde, but her appearance is almost unrecognizable.

This Brunhilde had almost all white body armor, but with traces of purple and gold. She has six feathered wings; three opposite on the sides of her back. Her long back-length hair was silverish white. A thick, white aura radiated off the new Brunhilde, who had returned from defeating other enemies that threatened the Cornerverse side.

"Wh-Who is that?" Ventus Eris asked, eyeing Brunhilde.

"I don't know, but she's wearing some kind of Valkyrie garb," Potio Ixion said.

"Valkyrie garb… ah! No way, you can't be!" Aduro Varuna did a double take.

"It's Kotori!" Angemon X recognized Brunhilde's energy.

"Looks like you went through great changes yourself, Kotori! If you are her!" Rosa Quaoar yelled out.

Brunhilde answered in her casual tone again. "Miss me? Yeah, let's just say I made a huge pitstop after beating some rainbow-haired bitch. I helped another me and some alternate universe version of my team to stop Grimhilde. And then saved Adora. And during all that, I changed into this. I don't care much for this makeover, but it does give me a ton of power to fight with. Thankfully Lady Cosmos brought me here, and I'm expecting that Rebellious Homura to show up, but dunno if she's delayed or something." She concentrated on the beam, which formed like a blade, poking through Zeed X. "But, enough about me. Looks like I came just in time to save y'alls asses. And heh, I just caught myself an asshole."

Aduro Varuna smirked. "Yeah, talk about great timing, Kotori."

Brunhilde nodded. "In this form, I'm Neo Frigg for some reason, but whatever we can talk about this more when we win."

Angemon X warned. "Be careful, Kotori! Don't drop your guard with this guy!"

Neo Frigg gritted, addressing Zeed X. "Bet you didn't see me coming, huh, dick?!"

Suddenly, Zeed X quickly did a 360 degree head spin and spooked Neo Frigg. Neo Frigg withdrew her beam and retreated beside the Kuipers.

After regenerating his face, Zeed X chuckled. "So nice of you to join us, Kotori Ayami. Congrats on defeating my subordinates: Ragyo and M(otherfucker)I(mmoral)S(hi)T, especially the latter. What an utter piece of work she was yet she failed to literally fuck your 'ass straight'. Thanks to you and the Cornerverse heroes, you've saved the omniverse from becoming an immoral cesspool. And with Neo Grimhilde purged for all time, Adora Frost has been spared anymore agony. However, the omniverse's fate still hangs in balance, because you face moi."

Growling, Neo Frigg replied. "Yeah, I know, and I'm gonna kill your ass the same way I killed that immoral whore!"

Zeed X chuckled in amusement. "Good luck with that, Brunhilde. However, why don't you entertain me by facing my biggest ace?" With that, he snapped his fingers, causing Jirenmon to stop fighting Omega X and Metalla X. "In fact, why don't you all amuse me by taking on Jirenmon? His unmatched power will be enough to squash you like the bugs you are."

Neo Frigg snapped. "Watch who you call a bug, asshole!"

Jirenmon phased away, leaving behind Omega X and Metalla X. He reappeared in front of the Kuipers, Angemon X, and Neo Frigg. When Jirenmon prepared to attack them, Omega X grabbed Metalla X and used Instant Movement to teleport them near Jirenmon.

"Dimitri, get to Karin now!" Metalla X barked as he and Omega X engaged Jirenmon.

"Nice to have you back, Kotori! I like the new look! It makes you really pretty!" Omega X said while trading fisticuffs with Jirenmon.

"Pretty's the last thing I ever wanted to be called, but thanks," Neo Frigg accepted his compliment. She flew in and went to punch Jirenmon.

Jirenmon casually sidestepped Neo Frigg. Neo Frigg then turned and cupped her hands together. Omega X immediately recognized the stance.

"Whoa, is that what I think it is?!" Omega X became flabbergasted.

"Something I picked up on while fighting that immoral bitch!" Neo Frigg fired a quick Aesir Kamehameha at Jirenmon.

"You've got to be kidding!" Metalla X shouted.

"Some form of the Kamehameha?!" Ventus Eris exclaimed.

"Terra Beams, Tsunami Waves, Kamehamehas, same difference," sardonically muttered Aduro Varuna.

Zeed X clapped, pretending to be impressed. "Oooo, awesome! Did you asspull that yourself, Kotori?!"

However, as the beam approached, Jirenmon backhanded Neo Frigg's beam attack.

"Aw, shit!" Neo Frigg blanched.

"Don't worry, you'll get another shot, Kotori," Omega X reassured her. "This Jirenmon guy is a whole league above everyone we've faced so far…"

Zeed X corrected him. "Except me, of course. Jirenmon, walk all over them."

Jirenmon casually walked toward Omega X, Metalla X, Neo Frigg, and the other Kuiper Senshi. The heroes flew ahead to collide with Zeed X's strongest warrior.

Angemon X made a mad dash toward Glacialis Sedna and Knut's location. He set his sights on ZarcDramon X.

Glacialis Sedna finally reached ZarcDramon X, who prepared to fly into battle once again.

"Ken! Christina! Stop, it's me, Karin!" Glacialis Sedna pleaded out to ZarcDramon X. "Can you hear me? Do you recognize my voice?!"

"Karin!" Angemon X was heard calling out to her.

"Dimitri! Thank goodness, but shouldn't you be giving your dad, Tai, and the others help?"

"Father insisted to come here. So, where do we begin?"

Glacialis Sedna and Angemon looked up at ZarcDramon X, who was verge of attacking Zeed X.

"Good question, but let's do all we can to bring brother and Christina to their senses," Glacialis Sedna said as she sighted Platinum Orcus poking out of ZarcDramon X's chest. "Christina! It's me, Sedna! Please, help me bring Ken back to normal!"

Hearing Sedna's face, Platinum Orcus slowly stirred and gritted hearing Sedna.

"Christina…!" Glacialis Sedna gasped as her friend started coming to.

"Karin…? Dimitri…?" Platinum Orcus murmured until ZarcDramon X, continued to fueled with rage, powered up and let raw energy flow through him. Platinum Orcus screamed as the everflowing dark energies inflicted pain, affecting even all of her pain receptors.

"He's unintentionally hurting her!" Angemon X exclaimed.

"Please, brother! Stop! Why can't you hear me?!" Glacialis Sedna pleaded with tears. She mounted Knut and flew up to ZarcDramon X's face.

"KARIN! DON'T!"

"Brother, I'm here! I know Zeed X did this to you! He's turned you and Christina into this…" Glacialis Sedna cried. "But, if my voice somehow can't reach you, then…" She summoned her Ice Trident again. "I'll have to show force, but are you willing to destroy me, brother? Would you kill me?"

ZarcDramon X opened his mouth as chaotic energies slowly leaked out and engulfed the space between them. Glacialis Sedna fearlessly stared at the draconic abomination, preparing to throw her own life for her brother and friend's sakes.

"I get it. You're full of guilt for destroying those dimensions. I know you and Christina are suffering deep down!" Glacialis Sedna cried. "It was Zeed X that made you do it! He made you this way! I can't and won't forgive him for this!"

"Don't do this, Karin!" Angemon X prepared to stop her.

"Don't move, Dimitri!"

Angemon X held his ground, helplessly watching Glacialis Sedna facing off with ZarcDramon X.

"If only Athena were here, if she were… then maybe she can make a difference," the future warrior wished for his daughter's presence once again.

Elsewhere, Toushinmon located Omega X (DF-616 Prime) and Saitou. Omega X (DF-616 Prime) was starting to recover after Zeed effortlessly crushed him and Metalla X (DF-616 Prime).

"Taichi, are you ok?" Toushinmon asked his DigiMazoku successor.

Rubbing his head, Omega X (DF-616 Prime) answered with a silly grin. "Heh, unless you count me and Matt getting our butts handed to us by the Dark God's old self being ok?" This remark earned him an awkward silent treatment from the two. The Digital Fused warrior's smile faded and he frowned. "We've gotta get back to the fight. Toushinmon, did you come to help us deal with Zeed?"

"On the contrary, checking on you was a priority before I set off to face the Synister Lords," the DigiMazoku lord replied.

Furrowing his brows, Saitou faced Omega X (DF-616 Prime). "What do you want to do, Taichi?"

"We have a fight to finish with the Dark God! We owe him a beating for humiliating us!" Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) declared as he landed near the group.

"Sorry, Toushinmon, but we're going to take a pass," Omega X (DF-616 Prime) answered. "You know I hate to leave fights unfinished."

Toushinmon grinned, chuckling. "I figured you'd say that. Very well, but you had better claim victory the next time we meet, Taichi."

"Then, I shall join you and Matt to fight Zeed," Saitou offered to Omega X (DF-616 Prime) and Metalla X (DF-616 Prime).

"Good, then are we set?" Omega X (DF-616 Prime) asked his two colleagues. "Later, Toushinmon. Give 'em hell!"

"Likewise, Taichi!" Toushinmon cackled and flew away to actively take part in the Synister Lord battle.

Omega X (DF-616 Prime), Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) and Saitou quickly flew into the air. They sensed Zeed's power and headed straight for that location.

"Looks like that other Sailor Moon, the phoenix woman, and that pink-haired goddess have already been fighting the Dark God," Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) noted, sensing the aforementioned trio's divine energies.

"Great, and looks like they've been hard at work weakening him. Our chances might be better this time!" Omega X (DF-616 Prime) exclaimed.

(Cue Kamehameha the Great – Morganstudios)

The heroes are in the final round against ChaosNova X Extinction Mode. The behemoth charged up a massive Chaotic Galactic Cannon from his right hand and hurled it at his enemies. Guilkatomon, Gallantmon CM (DF-616 Prime), Max & Gundamon GM, and ShineGreymon BM took the sphere head-on. The four fired simultaneous attacks to send the destructive sphere toward ChaosNova X EM. ChaosNova X EM held his ground, pushing his attack on his four adversaries.

"We can't let this attack through! We've got to send it back at him!" Max encouraged them.

"Easier said than done, Max!" Guilkatomon yelled out.

"Hey, jerkass! Up here!" Wimara called out, flying above ChaosNova X EM's far left side. She launched a barrage of energy bullets that grazed the behemoth's exposed body. She followed up by conjuring a cluster of red and green Ki blasts in her hands, which she then fired and homed in on her enemy. "I'm taking your ass down one way or another!"

As Wimara's continuous blasts dealt damage to him, ChaosNova X EM grew agitated and fired eyebeams at the Fuseha warrior. Wimara barely dodged ChaosNova X EM's beam, but her dropping her guard, allowed ChaosNova X EM to conjure a Chaotic Death Ball in his other free hand. The beast tossed said destructive ball at Max and company.

However, Sakuyamon (DF-616 Prime) and MegaGargomon (DF-616 Prime) intercepted the incoming attack.

"Rika, Henry! Don't!" Gallantmon CM (DF-616 Prime) cried out in horror.

"Hey, don't mourn for us! You keep fighting!" Sakuyamon (DF-616 Prime) insisted as she and MegaGargomon (DF-616 Prime) caught the black sphere.

"Wait…!" Renrukimon yelled as she got up to save her counterpart.

"You don't have to do this!" Terryamon shouted to MegaGargomon (DF-616 Prime).

"Y'all have to keep the fight going without us. You're still young…" MegaGargomon (DF-616 Prime) advised and beckoned Terryamon.

Clenching his fist, ChaosNova X EM made his Chaotic Death Ball self destruct, killing off Sakuyamon (DF-616 Prime) and MegaGargomon (DF-616 Prime).

"NO!" Inumuramon shouted.

"You're all going to join them!" ChaosNova X EM roared, successfully pushing his Chaotic Galactic Cannon forward, blasting back Max & Gundamon GM, Guilkatomon, Gallantmon CM (DF-616 Prime) and ShineGreymon BM.

"Max!" Keke cried out as she bounced back alongside WingGundamon.

After taking Digi-Vitamins, Celesta X HM, WarAngemon, Ultima X, Zordiark X, Houou X, Rosemon X, and Xander recuperated their energies to fight again.

"This freak has taken too many from us!" Rising up, Gallantmon CM (DF-616 Prime) shouted. "I'll never forgive him for taking Rika and Henry!"

As he got up, Guilkatomon openly vowed. "We'll get that chance, other me."

Readying her D-Sword, Celesta X HM charged at ChaosNova X EM. As the behemoth opened his mouth for a beam attack, she vanished out of thin air. ChaosNova X EM casually followed the Bearer of Light's movements, easily perceiving her next move. He turned to his left and saw Celesta X HM coming down for a sword swing.

"I've got you…!" ChaosNova X EM was taken aback as Celesta X HM vanished again. This distraction allowed WarAngemon to gut punch him.

WarAngemon charged Ki into his right hand and unleashed his Seraphi Fist. Ultima X and Zordiark X shot up, hitting an uppercut to ChaosNova X EM's lower jaw. The Ascendant duo's combined uppercut strike was enough to barely get ChaosNova X EM's feet off the ground ever slightly. Xander dive bombed from mid-air and landed Ki-imbued kicks into ChaosNova X EM's face. Houou X flew around ChaosNova X EM, shooting a Phoenix Wave into the behemoth's back. Rosemon X's hair shifted on its own as multiple vines popped like Palmon's Poison Ivy, which she used to grab ChaosNova X EM's legs. She not only restrained, but used her vines to start draining some of his energy.

Celesta X HM reappeared once again, driving her sword into ChaosNova X EM's chest. She sliced up and downward, carving an 'X' across the behemoth's chest. She then fired a Super Holy Beam that slammed into and pushed ChaosNova X EM away.

"Great work, guys! Now here we go, WingGundamon!" Keke cried out as she and WingGundamon flew into ChaosNova X EM. She then cupped her hands forward in conjunction with WingGundamon, who mimicked her stance. Controlling from within WingGundamon, Keke charged Ki through her partner. Keke and WingGundamon quickly fired off Final Blaze, which hit ChaosNova X EM hard.

Despite getting hit by these attacks, ChaosNova X EM rebounded and charged up for a finishing attack. He jumped up and cupped both hands together, preparing for a Chaotic Tsunami Wave. The Kaijuu-sized villain cackled, wearing a crazed look on his face.

"He's going for broke, guys! We need to take him down now!" Max called out.

An assembly group formed to counter ChaosNova X EM. Max & Gundamon GM, Guilkatomon, Gallantmon CM (DF-616 Prime), ShineGreymon BM, Wimara, Celesta X HM, WarAngemon, Ultima X, and Zordiak X unleashed various attacks to clash with ChaosNova X EM's incoming Chaotic Tsunami Wave. The behemoth's enormous greenish blue wave was larger than before and had enough power to blow away every ruined building in the vicinity.

"BE CRUSHED AND DIE, VERMIN! BE GONE FROM MY SIGHTS!" ChaosNova X EM roared, sending more power to expand his Chaos Tsunami Wave's reach.

"C'mon, guys! Don't let up!" Max yelled out.

"We can do this!" Guilkatomon shouted.

"Hell yeah we can!" Wimara boasted, charging up another cluster of red and green energies into her hands. She then lifted a thick aura, allowing her to fire intense laser-like blasts. She unleashed her Ray Blasts omnidirectionally, which bombarded ChaosNova X EM's body. She quickly conjured two spinning energy discs in her hands. "Yeah, and take these!" Unleashing her Gigantic Burst, she tossed her spinning discs, which cut off ChaosNova X EM's entire lower half.

"UGH! NO! NOTHING'S GOING TO SLOW ME DOWN!" ChaosNova X EM bellowed angrily. He concentrated and utilized Virus's regeneration to regrow his lower body.

Suddenly, Kaimodosu X AM joined in the fray and dove down, shoving her sword through ChaosNova X EM's side. She yelled out a battle roar and discharged powerful energies through the villainous beast, neutralizing him.

"That a way, Dorothy! Keep it up!" Celesta X HM shouted.

"He's all yours, Max!" Kaimodosu X AM exclaimed as ChaosNova X EM blew her away with his aura.

"It's over, Burizalor, Virus, and Yagami!" Max declared as he and Gundamon GM flew up, taking out a sword. As he imbued said weapon with Ki, Gundamon GM became bathed in Max's Super Ascendant Blue aura. He shot up, avoiding ChaosNova X EM's mouth blasts. "Y'alls evil days are numbered!"

"DIE!" ChaosNova X EM belched a green blast at Gundamon GM.

Max/Gundamon GM dodged ChaoNova X EM's blast and shot straight above the behemoth's head.

"For all my friends and family, let my anger empower this sword and deliver divine punishment to you! Go back to hell where y'all belong! Here's my… MY LOVE! MY ANGER! AND ALL OF MY SORROW!" Max passionately yelled out, extending Gundamon GM's Ki saber. The sword fed off his passion and grew twice as long as before.

Max/Gundamon GM quickly delivered multiple slashes at ChaosNova X EM. Unable to defend himself, ChaosNova X EM was carved up all over. Multiple slashes formed over his seemingly invulnerable body. The behemoth let out his final bellows as he split up.

Boom!

ChaosNova X EM's body exploded and dissolved. As a result of this, the three villains were thrown up into the air. GalacticNova X split up into Yagami and Agumon X. Yagami took on last glance at the Ascendants and their cohorts. His eyes then fell on Wimara. He visualized an image of a certain blonde-haired French girl next to Wimara. During his brief fight with FloraNova X, he was reminded of his old friend, Catherine Deneuve, who bore a resemblance to Willow.

"Catherine… goodbye…" Yagami muttered as he and Agumon X dissolved into digitized dust.

Virus seemingly dissolved as well. He gave one last look at Celesta X HM and ceased.

However, Burizalor briefly powered up into his Golden form, which was enough to save him from sharing a similar fate. He crash landed somewhere far off.

"Ugh, that dirty bastard just saved himself!" Ultima X growled.

"Yes, but I doubt he has any strength left to fight any of us now," WarAngemon noted.

"We've got to find him before we gets away," Max instructed everyone. "There's no way we can allow him to escape. Besides, we still have Zeed X, Zeed, and those other two powers I've suddenly picked up on."

"We all sensed them during our fight here," Guilkatomon said. "Who are they?"

"Your guess is as good as mine, Takato," Max paled. "But, if their Ki powers are anything to go by, they're as strong if not stronger than a God of Destruction, especially the one fighting Tai, Matt, and the others."

"We've gotta get there right away, Max!" Keke pleaded. "My father and brother are over there!"

"And I'm worried for Tai as well!" Houou X said.

"Me, too! Wherever brother is, I'm going there!" Celesta X HM demanded.

"Wasn't planning to argue with any of you. I agree. We need to investigate this and help our friends anyway we can!" Max declared.

"Yeah…!" Guilkatomon turned to Renrukimon, Terryamon, and Inumuramon. "Hey, can you three still go?"

"Are you kidding? Of course, we can!" Inumuramon said. "After the sacrifices the other Rika and Henry made, I'm still fired up!"

"We're not sitting out on this one," Terryamon added.

Renrukimon picked up the staff Sakuyamon (DF-616 Prime) left behind. "She's given me more reason to continue. Let's go and show Zeed X how we Tamers kick bad guy ass!"

"Max, we're all set!" Guilkatomon announced.

Max smiled. "Good, the more able fighters we have, the better."

As Kaimodosu X AM sat up, Max and Keke offered to get her up.

"You go on. I'll catch up," Kaimodosu X AM politely beckoned them off. "I need time to recover. Avengemon and Dee also need some time to replenish their energies since that last attack."

"If you say so," Keke nodded.

"Let's get moving!" Max rallied the troops.

xxxxx

Likewise, the heroes and Ordinemon are making their last stand against Kamoael. Goddess Moinanea and the DigiMazoku Lords have already arrived to assist their allies.

"Guys, look!" Kuwabara pointed out to the DigiMazoku Lords.

"Raizen, Mukuro, and Yomi?!" Yusuke balked at the resemblance of the Three Demon Lords from his dimension.

"Close, but not quite," Kurama observed them.

"Indeed, those are the DigiMazoku counters of Raizen, Mukuro, and Yomi," Kurama (DF-616 Prime) answered.

"They're Toushinmon, Mukuromon, and Hadesmon," Hiei (DF-616 Prime) revealed.

"And she almost looks like Tsunami! Y'know Sasami's goddess form!" Shaka noticed Goddess Moinanea.

"Like Sasami from Tenchi? That one, Yui?" Asked Kuwabara.

"Yep, that's right!" Shaka replied.

"How do you guys know about Sasami?" Ryoko asked the YYGDM-01 Spirit Detectives.

"Nevermind that! They're here to help either way!" Dai-Valkyrie Venus cried out.

"They'll definitely help turn things around," Sailor Venus (DF-616 Prime) said.

Turning his gaze toward Moinanea and the DigiMazoku Lords, Kamoael chuckled and arrogantly chuckled.

"Ah, Toushinmon, Mukuromon, and Hadesmon, you've shown yourselves. It'll be a pleasure to assert my authority after I've slain you and drenched my mouth with your blood!" Kamoael declared his vow to kill and devour the DigiMazoku Lords.

As Kamoael rushed through some city ruins, he lobbed demonic blasts at the DigiMazoku Lords and Moinanea. Moinanea put up a divine barrier, nullifying Kamoael's blasts. Kamoael raised a fist and punched the goddess' barrier. Moinanea channeled her divine energies to maintain the holy barrier.

The DigiMazoku lords quickly flew around Kamoael. Hadesmon conjured a green orb of light, which he used to fire a barrage of blasts from. He unleashed concentrated blasts that dazed the giant warrior's face. Kamoael fired a mouth beam with enough force to vaporize an entire cityscape. Hadesmon put up his Mazoku Absorption Wall, which absorbed and cancelled out Kamoael's blast. However, Kamoael came forward with a punch that broke Hadesmon's barrier and knocked him away.

"Hadesmon!" Mukuromon cried out, shifting her sights on Kamoael, who was ambushed by Ordinemon.

Ordinemon hung onto Kamoael's back and bit his right shoulder. Kamoael growled with fury and grabbed Ordinemon's head. The Combined Synister Lord slammed Ordinemon down. This distraction allowed Mukuromon enough time to slice through the third dimension with a finger. Kamoael felt a force of power cut through his left shoulder. Kamoael realized the attack came from Mukuromon.

"Wench, don't think I don't know about your ability to cut past the third dimension," Kamoael smirked evilly. He saw Mukuromon about to cut through the dimension, but he phased out and reappeared behind Mukuromon.

"What..?!" Before Mukuromon could say anything else, Kamoael swatted the DigiMazoku lord down.

"Hey, jerk! Did you forget about me?!" Came a newcomer's voice.

Alarmed, Kamoael turned around and got shoulder tackled by Shoutmon X7F Superior Mode. The Xros-Fused being hefted his mic and smacked the Synister Lord's face with it. After sending Kamoael flying into a building, Shoutmon X7F Superior Mode converted the mic into a large energy sword.

"Let him have it, Shoutmon!" Taiki encouraged his and his friends' combined Digimon.

Shoutmon X7F SM rushed head-on and swung down his Final Xros Blade. Kamoael recovered quickly and dodged Shoutmon X7F SM's finishing attack. Kamoael seized the entity's arm, attempting to disarm him. Shoutmon X7F SM retaliated by firing Double Flare Buster at the Synister Lord. Kamoael turned his arms into bird's wings and took to the air. He dive bombed and knocked Shoutmon X7F SM down.

"Do you think you have what it takes to defeat the ultimate Synister?! To me, if our legacy is to continue, victory is everything!" Kamoael boasted, flapping his wings as he sent a barrage of projectile blades that rained down on the city.

"Heads up! Y'all better move!" Sailor Jupiter (DF-616 Prime) called out.

As the Sailor Senshi (YYGDM-01 & DF-616 Prime), the Spirit Detectives (YYGDM-01 & DF-616 Prime), Tenchi, Ryoko, Sakura, and Inuyasha prepared to move, a giant humanoid wall stood in their way and produced a sword long enough to deflect every projectile blade.

Their savior was Susanoomon, who readily conjured his Celestial Blade.

"Susanoomon!" The Sailor Senshi and the Spirit Detectives shouted in unison.

"Another challenger wishes to try their hand at toppling the ultimate Synister Lord?!" Kamoael roared as he dive bombed straight into Susanoomon.

Susanoomon quickly sidestepped and let Kamoael fly past him. Susanoomon quickly seized Kamoael's right foot and swung him around several times. He threw Kamoael into a building and slammed him down hard.

"Nice slam!" Both Yusukes hollered together.

"And down he goes!" Both Kuwabaras yelled in unison.

Kamoael rose and flew into the air. His entire body glowed with a blinding flash of light that reflected off his body and wings. The Combined Synister Lord unleashed a wave of light that wiped half of the entire cityscape off the map. While most of the heroes managed to avoid the blasts, a few weren't so lucky: Hadesmon, Mukuromon, Sailor Jupiter (DF-616 Prime), Sailor Mercury (DF-616 Prime), Sailor Uranus (DF-616 Prime), Tuxedo Kamen (DF-616 Prime), Kuwabara (DF-616 Prime), Kurama (DF-616 Prime), and all of Team Xros Heart's human members minus Taiki, Kiriha, & Nene.

Witnessing her friends being killed, Sailor Moon (DF-616 Prime) used her Silver Crystal to transform into Neo-Queen Serenity. The white dress-garbed demigoddess hefted her Silver Crystal and fired a white beam that punched a hole through his chest. Kamoael doubled over and grabbed his wound. Moinanea clasped her hands together, forging divine rope that tied down Kamoael's arms.

Toushinmon and the Yusuke duo launched simultaneous Spirit Wave-like attacks that pushed Kamoael back. The Hiei duo fired dual Dragon of the Darkness Flame blasts that collided and scorched the Synister Lord's body.

Kamoael unleashed enough power to break Moinanea's bondage chains. Shoutmon X7F SM and Susanoomon charged at Kamoael. Both Digimon took turns pummeling the Synister Lord. Shoutmon X7F SM picked up his mic sword and rammed it into Kamoael's gut. Kamoael gripped the mic sword. When Susanoomon attempted to swing Celestial Blade at Kamoael's head, Kamoael instinctively converted his entire body in armor, which absorbed Susanoomon's sword.

As the struggle against the Synister Lord went on, Ordinemon stood up and faced Kamoael's direction.

Suddenly, as the battle continued on, the Digital Worlds of DF-616 Prime, in conjunction with the Dark Realm, were closing in and set to collide with Earth. This was the result of Ordinemon's reboot, which would set off a chain reaction and destroy all the worlds. This in turn would reset Earth and revert the Digital World to default settings.

"Raiselmon! Raguelmon!" Legolas called to Ordinemon. "Mother, is she really intending to initiate the reboot program?!"

"Yes, and would revert everything in the Digital World to its humble beginnings. All of us could possibly be changed or cease to exist. There's no reason this reboot needs to happen now!"

"So, what then, mother? How can we stop Ordinemon?"

Moinanea sighed. "This must be settled between myself and Ordinemon. Ordinemon is after all Apocalymon's reincarnation… our paths were supposed to cross if ZeedMillenniummon hadn't intervened." She floated over to Ordinemon. "Ordinemon, it is I, Lady Moinanea! I plead to you not to go through with the reboot program! You'll not only reset this world, but destroy us all!"

Ordinemon grunted. "...too late to stop the reboot… everything must be reset to bring balance…"

Moinanea disagreed. "No, you can stop this, but you something's preventing you stopping this reboot." She noticed Ordinemon giving Legolas the eye. "My son. The Rasielmon part of you loves him deeply, but the Raguelmon half is hesitant to let her sister go and be with my son. There's an internal conflict within you."

Ordinemon raised a hand to Legolas, who floated down to touch her. Ordinemon withdrew her hand and looked away.

"Rasielmon, Raguelmon! I'm sorry… I didn't mean to get between you," Legolas humbled himself, apologizing to Apocalymon's reincarnation.

"You know there's only one way to end the reboot, Ordinemon," Moinanea said.

Ordinemon slowly rose and stared toward the now darkened sky. She looked toward Legolas and exchanged a passionate glare with him. Legolas floated over to touch Ordinemon. She withdrew her face away. Legolas reached over and touched Ordinemon's face. He leaned over and kissed Ordinemon's forehead.

"Go. Do what you need to do," Legolas said, seemingly willingly to let Ordinemon go.

Ordinemon moved away from Legolas and headed back into the conflict.

"This has to be done, Legolas," Moinanea murmured.

"I know," he said, closing his eyes tight.

As Ordinemon advanced into the battle, Shoutmon X7F SM and Susanoomon restrained Kamoael. The Synister Lord managed to muscle his way out and rammed both Digimon's heads together. Susanoomon recovered and transformed into SuperSusanoomon. Bathed in bluish flames, Susanoomon unleashed a massive tidal wave of blue flames that engulfed Kamoael. Then, Ordinemon swooped down behind Kamoael and shoved a hand through Kamoael's chest. The Synister Lord grimaced in shock as Ordinemon then transferred her corrupted data to neutralize him.

"Ugh, damn you! Think this is enough to destroy me?!"Kamoael grinned fiendishly. "You're leaving yourself open to me absorbing your being! Once incorporating Apocalymon's former data into me, I'll become the ultimate life form!"

"You just love hearing yourself talk, do you?!" Came a voice belonging to Jax.

As Kamoael blinked, Jax materialized right in front of his face. Charging energy into his right hand, the Artificial clenched that fist and hammered Kamoael between the eyes. This packed enough power to daze and knock out the Synister Lord's sense of direction. As he became disoriented, Kamoael stumbled around.

Just then, Kamoael felt himself being lifted off the ground. He saw his left foot being lifted by Botamomon and Magettamon. The Digiverse 6 duo deadlifted the Synister Lord's foot high up to send him into the air.

"Thanks for keeping him busy!" Jax (DF-616 Prime) joined in with Jax. "Ready?"

"Aim! And fire!" Jax yelled as he and Jax (DF-616 Prime) fired energy beams into Kamoael.

Then, the Sonja duo floated behind Kamoael's back and followed suit, shooting continuous blasts. The BW tossed double Terra Destroyers into Kamoael's gut. BanchoLeomon Burst Mode, Sheila, and CyberLeomon unleashed Ki beams that tore through Kamoael's torso.

"I am the ultimate life form! All flesh and digitized beings should kneel to me!" Kamoael boasted, trying to heal all of his wounds, but there were too many warriors to keep track of. "Synisters, heed my call and come!"

Upon hearing their master's plea, the last remaining Synisters stormed out of the city ruins and headed over to aid him.

"Oh no, you don't! Senshi, let's take these freaks out!" Dai-Valkyrie Venus announced.

The Sailor Senshi transformed into their Princess forms. Amare Venus, Tonitrus Jupiter, Aquarius Mercury, Caelum Uranus, Mare Neptune, Exitium Saturn, and Princess Serenity III quickly intercepted and wiped out the majority of the Synisters. Tuxedo Kamen transformed into King Endymion and helped cut down the remaining Synisters.

The remaining Sailor Senshi & Spirit Detectives (DF-616 Prime), Tenchi, Ryoko, Inuyasha, and Sakura took out a handful of Synisters. Kabuto X, Vulcan X, Zephyr X, Shunoros X, Thomas & MirageGaogamon, Yoshino & Rosemon, Ruki, and Infernomon wiped out the last Synister hordes.

"Curse you all…!" Kamoael scowled, witnessing his Synister subjects being obliterated before his own eyes.

Then, a giant ball of purple light collided with Kamoael's head and further disoriented him. The Synister Lord looked up as he saw Yugi Muto floating in mid-air with Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl.

"That was for Kaiba and the people you killed, you monster," Yugi angrily muttered.

"It's over!" SuperSusanoomon declared as he imbued with sword with blue flames. Then, he drove his Super Celestial Blade through Kamoael and bisected him with an upward vertical slash.

(End theme)

Kamoael's whole body was split in two. Desperately trying to put himself back together, Ordinemon grabbed the bisected Synister Lord. She grabbed his two halves and covered herself in a white aura.

"Rasielmon, Raguelmon!" Legolas called out, witnessing the divine fallen angel glowing with a bright light that consumed her and Kamoael.

Legolas, I love you. Rasielmon's voice telepathically reached Legolas.

I guess you weren't that bad a guy to make my sister happy. Thank you. Raguelmon interjected.

Before words could leave his mouth, Legolas, and among others, witnessed the while veil of light vanish, which erased both Ordinemon and Kamoael. Every trace of Ordinemon was permanently removed, thus ending Apocalymon's legacy and driving the Synister race into extinction.

"It's as you predicted, Lord Beerusmon," Moinanea closed her eyes. "You predicted Ordinemon's demise as clear as day."

Legolas fell to his knees, crying but not out of sadness. He cried proud of his lover and her sister. "No, thank you both. I'll never forget this."

"And with the Synister Lord's demise, the Synister race are no more. And soon their own world will cease," Moinanea watched as the doorway into the Dark Realm closed. "Sadly, we did suffer casualties." She scanned the bodies of the slain, most of which came from the DF-616 Prime, but a few from the other dimensional parties suffered losses: notably Seto Kaiba and Ikuto & Ravemon. "And I fear more will fall, which we must prevent if it costs us deities our lives."

As he landed to take a breath, Yugi saw the Sailor Senshi and Spirit Detectives.

"Yugi, where are the others?!" Amare Venus asked him.

"They're recovering, but we lost Kaiba," Yugi reported regrettably. "I couldn't save him."

"Kaiba's gone…?!" Tonitrus Jupiter cried out.

"Damn it, this sucks!" Yusuke punched the ground hard.

A gloomy mood hit the group.

"And we lost Ikuto," Yoshino said as she, Thomas, and their Digimon carried Ikuto with them. Leaving no body behind, Falcomon was deleted quickly after his death.

"Akari, Kenjiro, and the others… they're all gone," Taiki mourned the loss of his friends and components of Team Xros Hearts.

"Yuu and Kotone, too." Nene cried herself to tears over her siblings's deaths.

BanchoLeomon BM spoke up. "Come, everyone. We can prevent anymore deaths if we go to where our friends are. We better hurry."

Unbeknownst to the heroes, a rift was created in the sky caused by Ordinemon's sacrifice. No, more like this is what Zeed X wanted. This rift presumably could lead to a prime dimensional source.

(Cue The Fifth Power (SSJ5 theme) – Morganstudios)

Meanwhile, Neo-Queen Serenity, Houou Mars, and Ultimate Madoka continued their war with Zeed. The magical girl trio managed to wear Zeed down. Between the future queen's Silver Crystal power, Houou Mars's cosmic flames, and Ultimate Madoka's Nebula Arrows, Zeed X's previous incarnation was severely damaged. The trio's divine powers effectively slowed Zeed's regeneration.

Houou Mars extended her arms and conjured a giant flaming bird from her Houou cloak. The phoenix construct flew into and consumed Zeed in cosmic flames. Zeed tried shaking off the flames, but as he came to, Houou Mars appeared above him and started siphoning off his powers.

"Let me go…!" Zeed growled as he felt his entire body being subdued as Houou Mars absorbed plentiful amount of his power to add to her Houou cloak, converting his energy to feed the Houou.

"Don't feed too much off him! We don't know what kind of dangerous energy he has!" Ultimate Madoka advised her.

Having collected enough, Houou Mars powered up with an even bigger Houou cloak.

"Don't worry, we took all we needed!" Houou Mars called out, fueling the cosmic bird's appetite and giving herself a boost.

"All right, it's time to finish this," Neo-Queen Serenity declared, powering up her Silver Crystal.

"NO!" Zeed bellowed as he unleashed an immense shockwave that knocked the three back.

Ultimate Madoka quickly formed a barrier over them. Houou Mars returned the favor by projecting and striking Zeed with a concussive force. Houou Mars followed up by conjuring a giant fiery arrow. She fired her Houou Flame Sniper that struck Zeed head-on. This knocked Zeed back. Ultimate Madoka fired a seemingly limitless barrage of Nebula Arrows that pierced into Zeed. Neo-Queen Serenity propelled over Zeed and caught him with a full-powered blast from her Silver Crystal.

Boom!

Zeed crash landed near the vicinity where Tempus Pluto VM and company engaged Toppomon. Neo-Queen Serenity, Houou Mars, and Ultimate Madoka descended over Zeed's fallen form.

As Zeed steadily rose, he gasped upon seeing Omega X (DF-616 Prime), Metalla X (DF-616 Prime), and Saitou landing in front of him.

"Damn it… not this way…" Zeed scowled. "Destroy me, but you still have my current incarnation to deal with." He gathered the last vestiges of his power to fight with.

"It's over. Just give it up," Omega X (DF-616 Prime) said, cupping his hands together and gathering Ki inside his palms.

In response to the current threat, Zeed expanded his body and grew longer as his size matched that of SliferGigaSeadramon's gargantuan form.

xxxxx

"What was that?!" Gao Pluto TM tried out, hearing the loud crash in the distance. "That also made the ground shake, too!"

Tempus Pluto VM answered. "That was the other Zeed. Seems Sailor Moon, Madoka, Sailor Mars, and the Houou were able to bring him down. However, the other Zeed has recollected himself and gathered the last of his strength. They better finish him off quickly."

Devil Homura was quietly relieved Madoka was still alive and kicking. She then turned her focus toward Toppomon, who prepared for his next attack. Toppomon vanished and reappeared near his adversaries. He tossed more Destruction Ball in hopes of deleting any one of his opponents. As Gao Pluto TM prepared to dodge, Toppomon jumped up and tossed multiple Ki blasts. One blast exploded near the Lycan Senshi.

(End theme)

"Ahhh!" The Lycan Senshi screamed as she was knocked away.

"HINA!" Tempus Pluto VM cried out as she flew down to save her goddaughter.

"Hang on, Hina!" CyberTitaniamon dove down to get her.

"Evil must be purged!" Toppomon launched a Destruction Ball at Gao Pluto TM, Tempus Pluto VM, and CyberTitaniamon.

Gao Pluto TM gasped in horror as the mortal cleansing blast headed her way. She closed her eyes.

Suddenly, Gao Pluto TM felt someone grab her and whisked her away from the Destruction Ball's reach. Kara/SandrockGundamon tossed a giant block of debris, which the blast deleted instead.

"Whew, that was a close shave!" David/HeavyArmsGundamon said.

"Y'mean save?" Kara asked.

"Or, that."

As she came to, Gao Pluto TM opened her eyes and saw a ghost. However, this ghost saved her at the last second.

"Wakey wakey, Hina!" A cheery voice belonging to Athena snapped Gao Pluto TM to life.

"Ath-Athena…?" Gao Pluto TM blinked thrice as she realized her friend was no dream or mind trick. "ATHENA!" She cried and hugged her. "YOU'RE HERE!"

A/N: Yes, Athena is back! Just like Tike, she's returned with a purpose.

Yeah, that's a good place for a cliffhanger.

This was originally ¼ of Cross Generations Chapter 27: tri: Digital Ascendancy - Part Omega(Ω). Expect the next couple of chapters to be broken up segments from a huge megasode.

As for what happened here? Well, Jirenmon and Toppomon are proving to be a dominant force our heroes are struggling to beat. Toppomon shows off his Destruction form. ChaosNova X Extinction Mode and Kamoael are no more. With the former, Burizalor is the last survivor. And with Kamoael's demise, the Synister race are extinct and that crisis for dimension DF-616 Prime is no more. ZarcDramon X, Sedna, and others put up a resistance against Zeed X, but with renewed confidence and using fear to strengthen his own resolve the bastard fights harder.

Oh, how can I forget Pluto became a near anthropomorphic wolf and her boyfriend, Volodramon, became her official Digimon partner.

Brunhilde/Kotori returns, becomes Neo Frigg, and saves the Cornerverse from her nemesis Neo Grimhilde. After that, she saves her other enemy YYGDM!Mist. Those happened off screen because they have no bearing in the Ascendancy. Check out Cross Generations for that coverage.

Anyway, we're a few chapters away from the final phase of this conflict. Until the next chapter, send a review and see you again!
