Dimension: DVT-98
(Cue Dragon Ball Super: Broly OST - Broly Begins to Battle! + Awakened Power)
Resisting with all their might, the heroes fought off Zeed X, Jirenmon, and Toppomon. In the absence of Omega X, Max led the charge against the anomalous being and his two Digital Pride Trooper slaves. With help from Omega X (DF-616 Prime), Dramon X, and Metalla X, he unleashed a furious counterattack on Zeed X.
As Max unleashed a flurry of punches, Zeed X parried the blue-haired Ascendant's blows. Max snarled and flew at him with a kick. Zeed X twisted his body around, evading Max's flying kick. Zeed X stretched his arms out, ensnaring and throwing Max around several times before flinging him into the ground.
Metalla X went off the handle and attacked Zeed X head-on. As he dodged and parried Metalla X's punches, Zeed X briefly paused and turned to the screen.
(Theme abruptly cuts)
"Oh, and by the way, that one reviewer who dropped that comment about magic not being that detrimental to Superman? Yeah, I was being sarcastic! I knew magic isn't the end all be all solution to weakening the Man of Steel! Even I make mistakes! I'm only an immortal time demon on his ninth cycle!" Zeed X yelled toward reader while breaking the fourth wall. "Friggin' nerds."
"Who the hell are you talking to?! Take me seriously!" Metalla X furiously bellowed as he punched Zeed X's face, who took the Ascendant's hit and didn't budge. "I won't have you make a mockery out of me! Not after you killed Keke!"
(Broly Begins to Battle! + Awakened Power resumes)
Suddenly, Metalla X's face morphed into Keke. "Ouch! That hurt! Why did you have to punch me?!"
As he balked at Zeed X's facial metamorphosis, Metalla X quickly withdrew his punch and charged Ki into his right hand. He fired off his Big Bang Attack at Zeed X.
"I won't have you make a mockery of her!" Metalla X roared as he launched rapid Ki blasts in conjunction with his attack.
Just then, a door magical opened up behind Metalla X. Zeed X popped his head out and tapped Metalla X's shoulder.
"Then, let me make it up to you and that hot piece of work you call a daughter!" Zeed X chucked. As Metalla X spun around to blast him, Zeed X smashed a whipped cream pie in his smash.
As Metalla X rubbed the cream from his face, he saw Zeed X's face morph into Bugs Bunny.
"Eheheheh, what a maroon! Ehehehe!"
"GAUGH! I'VE HAD JUST ABOUT ENOUGH OF YOU!" Metalla X snapped as he flew at and slammed into Zeed X's chest. He unloaded with a flurry of punches and went for a flying kick.
In response, Zeed X summoned Yami Zeed X Reflector and trapped Metalla X through a lens-like portal.
As Metalla X stumbled out of another portal, he found himself caught in the crossfire of Toppomon's physical blows. Metalla X narrowly dodged Toppomon's punch and went on the defense.
"That sneaky bastard tricked me!" Metalla X growled while dodging Toppomon's blows.
"Prepare to be obliterated by hand of justice!" Toppomon bellowed, shooting beams from his hand.
Metalla X quickly hopped and dodged Toppomon's blasts. The Bearer of Friendship readily fired a beam, which Toppomon topped with a Hakai wave. Baffled, Metalla X witnessed his own attack get dissolved by Toppomon's destruction energy.
"Damn it, he's got destruction energy," scowed Metalla X, who dodged the incoming Hakai blasts. At one point when he sidestepped the destructive beam, it hit the nearest wall of debris and deleted it instantly.
"Father!" Angemon X called out as he dashed in and launched a Finish Buster at Toppomon's back.
The beam barely dazed Toppomon, who turned and fired a Hakai beam at the future warrior. Angemon X hopped around and dodged a succession of blasts. Toppomon then launched forward and backhanded Angemon X down.
"Dimitri!" Metalla X shouted as he flew over and punched the back of Toppomon's head. Though this merely fazed him, this distraction allowed Metalla X to grab Angemon X and fly him to a safer distance.
"Father, I can handle myself…"
"Don't bother. He's far beyond you in this state. He'd kill you with that divine energy he's wielding." Metalla X said, assessing Toppomon's destruction aura.
"Since he's apparently Digital God of Destruction level now. Same with that Jirenmon guy," Angemon X muttered as he and Metalla X witnessed Jirenmon make short work of Metalla X (DF-616 Prime), Saitou, and various of the DF-616 & YYGDM-01 heroes.
Just then, the Kuipers, sans Haumea and Makemake, reconvened with Angemon X.
"Dimitri, the others are in deep trouble! I don't know how much longer we can last!" Glacialis Sedna said. She looked up to see Dramon X, Omega X (DF-616 Prime), Beerusmon, and Champamon clashing with Zeed X. "And I have no idea how long brother can last. His new power could run out anytime now!"
"We're in deep shit either way. No matter how you slice it." Aduro Varuna cursed.
"No, I refuse to believe there's no hope for us!" Ventus Eris exclaimed.
"What can we do against these three? Zeed X is already a big difference as he is and he can just randomly delete us anytime he wishes," Potio Ixion reminded them of Zeed X's Millennia Epilogue.
"That dick is just toying with us," Aduro Varuna scoffed, charging lightning into her Mjolnir. She then tossed her Stormbreaker axe to Eris. "Here, you might need it more than me. You're getting better with it."
"Thanks, Varuna," Ventus Eris smiled, gripping the axe tightly.
Toppomon readied and fired another Hakai at Metalla X, Angemon X, and the Kuipers. However, someone quickly stepped in and conjured a barrier, halting the Pride Trooper's beam. It was Jax, who willfully formed another energy barrier to push Toppomon's attack.
"It's Jax!" Angemon X was flabbergasted to see the face of a former enemy of his timeline.
"You might want to get moving! My barrier can only hold his blast for much longer!" Jax called out to the group. He noticed Toppomon's destruction energy starting to break his barrier.
"GO NOW" Metalla X instructed as he flew out of the way.
Likewise, Angemon X and the Kuipers moved away. Jax then dropped his barrier and sidestepped Toppomon's blast, which deleted another wall of debris.
As for Jirenmon, he planted a Power Impact ball into Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) and blasted the Digital Fused warrior away. Saitou swiftly kicked an energy orb and sent a barrage of purple beams toward the Grey. Jirenmon put a hand out and nullified Saitou's beams with an aura wave.
"Nothing I do can even scratch him…" Saitou clenched his fists and dropped to a knee. For the first time since being soundly defeated by Omega X (DF-616 Prime)'s War God power, the Dark Angel was overtaken by a superior being.
"You're smart to give up and accept your defeat," Jirenmon said as he prepared another Power Impact blast.
However, a wave of flames connected with Jirenmon. The Grey didn't even feel the flames connect, but he identified the attacker. It was Guilkatomon. On the opposite was Renrukimon.
"How commendable for you all to keep this up, but you will fall to my might." Jirenmon stated.
"You keep running your mouth, big guy, because we're still here!" Guilkatomon exclaimed.
Wasting no time, Renrukimon rushed at the Grey. As Jirenmon prepared to stop her, Renrukimon used her Seiryuu Scale to vanish out of thin air. Guilkatomon seized this opportunity and flew over, landing a fiery punch to Jirenmon's face. However, the Grey snatched Guilkatomon's hand and crushed it. Jirenmon landed a quick barrage of punishing blows and blasted him away. Guilkatomon crash landed on a debris of debris.
"Takato!" Renrukimon reappeared and hurried over to him. He rolled him onto his back and cringed from the beating he took.
"Yep… he kicked my butt really good, didn't he?" Guilkatomon chuckled as the white light surrounding him lifted him off the ground. "I think I can go another round."
"You should be staying down!" Renrukimon berated him.
"Heed your friend's words if you know what's good for you, boy," Jirenmon addressed him.
"No way. Tai's gone and it's up to us to beat guys like you!" Guilkatomon replied with a rebellious scowl.
"But, he and Toppomon aren't the real bad guys. They're just controlled by Zeed X!" Inumuramon called out from afar.
"So, what? We target Zeed X then… but… he's so far above us it's not funny," Guilkatomon remarked.
Neo-Queen Serenity and Houou Mars arrive to treat the beaten YYGDM-01 heroes. Yusuke, KaiserGreymon, Yugi, and Neo Frigg recovered after being healed. Houou Mars finished healing Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, Amare Venus, Tonitrus Jupiter, Mare Neptune, and Terryamon.
"We don't give up. That's not we're going to do," Neo-Queen Serenity said, turning up toward Zeed X.
"Great, he's back for more!" Kuwabara panicked as Jirenmon charged up another Power Impact ball.
Just in time, Hit, Xander, Wimara, ShineGreymon Burst Mode, MagnaGarurumon, and MirageGaogamon Burst Mode intercepted Jirenmon's path. Hit quickly caught Jirenmon in his Time Skip. Jirenmon found himself caught frozen, leaving himself open to Xander, Wimara, ShineGreymon BM, MagnaGarurumon, and MirageGaogamon BM attacking him.
"That a way, guys! Let him have it and take it to him!" Masaru cheered them on.
Upon seeing Jirenmon and Toppomon's dilemma, Zeed X grew weary of his adversaries. However, Dramon X AI managed to cut him off and grabbed his hand. Dramon X AI channeled raw power into his right hand and punched Zeed X's face so hard he twisted his neck around. Dramon X AI followed up with a straight punch, sending Zeed X sailing far back. Dramon X AI hastily flew at Zeed X and clenched his right hand. Rearing back said fist, he went for a straight Dramon Fist, which Zeed X narrowly dodged. Zeed X spun around behind Dramon X AI and kicked his back. Zeed X then clubbed Dramon X AI so hard he sent him crashing into the ground. Zeed X dove down, driving Dramon X AI hundreds of feet beneath the earth.
Zeed X quickly rocketed out of the ground and left Dramon X AI buried.
"Hah, I just planted him. Ugh, bad pun." The anomalous being verbally roasted himself. He turned his head. "Oh, speaking of bad jokes." He noted Illusion Makemake and Harena Haumea flying behind him. "What are you two even still doing here when all your Yu-Gi-Oh friends except Kaiba's blue-haired bitch, Joey, and Yugi are all dead?! I mean for Christ's sake, friggin' Joey and you two outlived Seto Kaiba!"
"You're going to pay for taking Tristan away!" Harena Haumea shouted.
"Same with my Duke!" Illusio Makemake cried out with defiance.
Shaking his head, Zeed X sighed. "See, I didn't want to have to do this, because then readers will think why didn't I use this sooner. But, you asked for it!" His hands glowed with translucent light. He pressed both hands together and unleashed a clear wave of light that passed through Haumea and Makemake.
In an instant, the two Kuipers were instantly depowered back to Vivian Wong and Miho Hosaka. The two girls collapsed and gazed in utter horror at their Princess forms being taken from them, but most of all their Sailor Senshi powers were gone. It was as if Zeed X reset the girls's power stats, regressing them back to their regular pre-Kuiper Senshi selves.
"I'm not Sailor Haumea anymore?!" Vivian gawked, looking over herself.
"I can't transform back to Sailor Makemake!" Miho gasped and dropped to her knees helplessly/
He explained to Vivian and Miho. "Yeah, see. That's something I've only been meaning to use if I'm being backed into a corner. I borrowed it from some character created in some world called Re:Creators. There was this Altair lady and she used this technique called The 13th Movement of Chaos: Outline Origin. Pretty nifty trick. I call my variation, the Millennia Power Reset. It lets the user takes the plot twists and added power baggage away from a character, resetting them back to the beginning. So, I just removed you two's Kuiper Senshi powers and reset you back to your original Yu-Gi-Oh! character settings like you were originally intended to be. You can thank me later."
Balling up her fists, Vivian rushed Zeed X. "You bastard!"
Zeed X effortlessly sidestepped Vivian, letting her trip herself over. "Don't waste your breath. I'll let you two live long enough to see me kill all of your friends. You can be part of the audience reading this right now."
Miho crawled over and tended to Vivian. Both cried and held each other helpless to do anything now. The once mighty 'Outer Kuipers' were reduced to mere spectators.
Zeed X turned to the screen and addressed the audience. "None of you readers saw that! Got it? That's a secret technique I don't just show anyone. Not even you, simpletons! Keep your mouths shut or I'll raid your kitchen pantries when you sleep!" He then scanned the battlefield and went back into character. "Now, where were we…?" Zeed X paused as he sensed an energy sneak up on him.
Suddenly, Omega X (DF-616 Prime) teleported in front of Zeed X and blasted him with a readily powered-up 100X Terra Beam. Catching the massive red beam, Zeed X grabbed and knocked away the Digital Fused warrior's strongest attack.
"After fighting and killing the DF-616 Omega X, you're just a downgrade. So, why should I waste my time?" Zeed X nonchalantly shrugged.
"We'll see who's a downgrade! This is for the other me you killed, you murderer!" Omega X (DF-616 Prime) roared as he flew at and attacked Zeed X head-on.
"Yawn! Tell me something new! Make me laugh or something!" Zeed X swiftly parried all of Omega X (DF-616 Prime)'s punches and slithered around him like a snake. He folded his whole body around the Digital Fused warrior like rubber and squeezed him tight. "Now, here's my punchline!" He then tossed and punched Omega X (DF-616 Prime) away.
Suddenly, Beerusmon and Champamon seized Zeed X from behind. The anomalous being's head twisted around.
"Hey, mind holding onto these, you two?" Zeed X asked as his hands seemingly came off.
Beerusmon and Champamon saw the decoy hands were rigged with explosives. Zeed X quickly turned and covered his ears.
Boom!
Zeed X spun around and saw the two Gods of Destruction covered in black powder.
"Oh boy, you two nimrods should take a look at yourselves right now! You're supposed to be gods and yet you fell for the oldest tricks in the cartoon playbook!" Zeed X keeled over laughing. Note to self: we are in a written fanfic involving animated characters who for all intents and purposes are supposed to be gods. Anyway, carrying on! "You two are making Elmer Fudd look good right now!"
Beerusmon and Champamon both said nothing. They exchanged silent nods and flew straight at Zeed X. As the two gods were covered in purple auras, they zipped around Zeed X like fiery purple comets. Zeed X was able to keep up with the two Gods of Destruction and flew around, blocking their attacks.
"So, this is y'all at your best! Well, at least now I can put up some effort!" Zeed X said while blocking their attacks. He vanished and flew off world, luring the two Gods of Destruction after him. He and the cat brothers flew around the entire planet over dozens of times. By the time, Zeed X returned he was still trading blows with Beerusmon and Champamon. "Just for reference, you two, I can take all of your Gods of Destruction out just like that if I wanted to!"
Champamon snapped. "Yeah?! Me and my brother don't give a flip! We're gonna see to it you get what's coming to you!"
Beerusmon added with ferocity. "To think I'd be forced to go all out against Dark God who nearly destroyed his former universe!"
"Oh please! I'm so over that old Dark God shtick! Get with the times!" Zeed X then smashed Beerusmon and Champamon's heads together. He grabbed and drove his knee into Champamon's rotund gut. Then, he slapped Beerusmon's face around. "Oh, how I bet Kenny would love to do this to you now, you purple Cornish Rex-looking motherfuc-!"
Just then, a barrage of arrows pierced Zeed X's back. He whirled around to see Ultimate Madoka, Devil Homura, Goddess Moinanea, Whismon, and Vadosmon confront him. Zeed X glanced over to the opposite side as Neo-Queen Serenity and Houou Mars appeared.
"Lord Champamon!" Vadosmon called out to the beaten rotund cat.
"Oh dear, this isn't good," Whismon sadly nodded. He readied his staff to combat Zeed X.
"We're ending this here, Zeed X!" Ultimate Madoka declared.
Neo-Queen Serenity readied her Silver Crystal. Houou Mars' white flamed cloak expanded into the shape of a bird.
"No, I'm afraid this is where we end things!" Zeed X's grinned maniacally as he cast barriers over the divine beings, sealing them up. "Now, this is where the climax will get interesting."

Dimension: DVT-98
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - A Tough Battle)
Returning to the main battlefield, most of the heroes are already battered and beaten by the trio of adversaries. Not even the deities are enough as they have been binded by Zeed X's power. Whismon, Vadosmon, Moinanea, Ultimate Madoka, Devil Homura, Neo-Queen Serenity, and Houou Mars were all sealed inside impenetrable barriers. Only a very few like Dramon X AI are still standing.
After making short work of his enemies, Zeed X found Taichi (DVT-98) and teleported to him. He one-shotted and knocked down Zero.
"Zero!" Taichi (DVT-98) called and rushed to his Veedramon partner.
Wasting no further time, Zeed X seized Taichi (DVT-98)'s throat and lifted him up. Knowing he is holding the victim hostage, the heroes can't do anything.
"Too bad you failed to protect the Prime source of Digiverses." Zeed X evilly smirked and prepared to erase his victim's existence with the palm of his hand. "Now I shall be his executioner."
"STOP! DON'T…!" Max pleaded.
Finally blasting his way out of the ground, Dramon X AI shot out and caught Zeed X strangling Taichi (DVT-98). He prepared to intervene and stop Zeed altogether. Suddenly, he just paused and sensed an energy presence spike out of nowhere.
Both Beerusmon and Champamon sprang up from their beatdown and raced to intercept Zeed X.
(End theme)
As Zeed X is about to exterminate Taichi (DVT-98), a Death Beam struck through Zeed X's chest, forcing the anomalous figure to put Taichi (DVT-98) down. Dramon X AI used this time to fly over and grab Taichi (DVT-98), pulling him away from Zeed X. Zeed X immediately turned to see Golden Burizalor arrive on the battlefield.
"No freakin' way…" Yusuke couldn't believe it.
"Where the hell did he come from?!" Guilkatomon exclaimed.
"B-B-Burizalor?!" Metalla X shouted.
"This is their Burizalor…" Omega X (DF-616 Prime) gritted, glaring down the golden-skinned tyrant.
Both Jirenmon and Toppomon noticed Golden Burizalor come out of hiding. As they went to stop him, Zeed X beckoned them off.
"It's that creep… again…" Taichi (DVT-98) coughed, rubbing his neck.
"Burizalor, you're a fool to take them on!" Metalla X chastised him.
"What can he possibly do?" Ultimate Madoka couldn't believe it.
"Nothing good," Devil Homura muttered sardonically.
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Unwinnable Battle)
Zeed X faced off with Golden Burizalor, who was still looking worse for wear after the anomalous one blasted him away.
"Well, isn't this a surprise! Somehow, you're still alive after your co-partners perished and you escaped death not once, but twice. I must give you props, digital tyrant," Zeed X casually clapped.
Golden Burizalor panted, holding up his finger ready to fire another Death Beam. "So, what if you're the most powerful force in the omniverse… I am Lord Burizalor! And I no longer take orders from you! But, most of all.. NO ONE DENIES ME THIS KILL!" He aimed and pointed his Death Beam finger toward Taichi (DVT-98).
Zeed X persuaded him. "You really don't want to do that. Besides, with all the wounds you've got, your shot will be slow enough for me to stop. Don't even try it. Fine, fuck it. Do it. See what happens."
Looking between Taichi (DVT-98) and Zeed X, Burizalor tried to decide his targets. What did he want more: to kill Taichi Prime and purge every gogglehead in the Nexus, or regain whatever pride he has left by turning against Zeed X?
"Well, clock's a ticking, tyrant…"
Golden Burizalor's smirk then turned into an angry scowl. "I've decided!" He raised both hands and conjured a big Death Ball. He laughed out loud. "How about I destroy YOU, my former master?! I'll take you and everyone else with me!"
"Oh shi-!" Max screamed. "Everyone, get back!"
Metalla X roared, grabbing Rose(mon) X. "The bastard's just about lost his mind!"
"If he gets himself killed, it's less problems for us," Angemon X remarked.
"Yeah, but we're then left with Zeed X. I'd rather us deal with Burizalor than him," Glacialis Sedna regretted what he said.
Beerusmon growled. "You're a fool, Burizalor! You're going to get us all killed! Namely me!"
Champamon grabbed Beerusmon. "Do you always think of yourself first, brother?!"
The YYGDM-01 leaders and Houou Mars prepared to stop Golden Burizalor, but the Death Ball expanded until it grew ten times his own size. Dramon X AI grabbed Taichi (DVT-98) and Veedramon (DVT-98). He teleported them out of harm's way.
"You have nowhere to run, Zeed X!" Golden Burizalor shouted.
"You're a fool, emperor."
"Now, I'll purge you out of existence once and for all!" Golden Burizalor tossed the Death Ball at Zeed X. The tyrant laughed maniacally, having completely snapped.
However, Zeed X used his essokinesis powers to instantly dissolve the Death Ball into nothingness, shocking Golden Burizalor.
Taking advantage of Golden Burizalor's dismayed state, Zeed X's face then changed to Freeza's. But, he spoke with a crude, elderly grandmother voice, "Heh heh heh heh heh. Freezalor is here to ruin the party! You didn't say please if you wanted to kill Prime Taichi so desperately like a little bitch!"
Golden Burizalor snapped out of his trance. "...WHAT IS THIS MOCKERY?! YOU DARE TO MOCK ME, LORD BURIZALOR?!" He launched straight at Zeed X. "I DON'T CARE WHO YOU ARE, I WILL MAKE YOU KNOW YOUR PLACE AND SHUT YOUR MOUTH!"
Zeed X shifted right in front of Golden Burizalor with ungodly speed. Overwhelmed with shock, Golden Burizalor left himself open for Zeed X to punch him hard in the gut. The tyrant doubled over, coughing spit and blood from his mouth. This was the worst imaginable pain he's ever felt his whole life. Zeed X then grabbed Golden Burizalor's face and smashed him through earth below, carving out a path and creating a decent-sized crater.
Losing his Golden form, Burizalor was left lying at Zeed X's feet. He picked Burizalor by his head and crushed it so hard he made the tyrant scream in agony. Burizalor's face contorted in pain as painful screeches left his mouth.
"I could easily erase you, but why do that when I can have a little fun?" Zeed X chortled as he dropped the tyrant.
As Zeed X stomped on Burizalor's face with his foot, he grew hair like Taichi while retaining his Freeza face and granny voice, alongside Freeza's 'tail' grew out of his backside.
"Heh heh heh. Your hateful archnemesis is crushing you like a zit!" Zeed X evilly grinned as he used his 'tail' to touch Burizalor's cheeks. "Mind if I tickle you? Coochie coochie coo! Round and round the beastly monkey goes! If he should stop, then off with his nose! Aha ha ha!"
Zeed X's 'tail' then goes inside Burizalor's right ear, giving him a wet willy.
"AUGH!" Burizalor wailed.
"Oh, you don't like that, Freezalor? Well how about this to clean your nails?!" Zeed X sadistically taunted while still using his brutish grandmotherly voice. He used his psychokinesis to rip out all of Burizalor's toenails and fingernails.
"AUGH! DAMN YOU, YOU BASTARD!"
Zeed X stomped on the tyrant and picked him up.
(End theme)
"Ok, I'm done playing with you, angry little emperor," Zeed X lifted Burizalor up and invoked a black aura to erase him with.
Burizalor sputtered, spitting blood. "...you won't forget me…"
Zeed X added. "Oh, but they will." With that, he prepared to erase him.
As Burizalor closed his eyes, he heard a faint but loud voice ring in his head.
(Cue Dragon Ball Z - Perfect Cell Theme (The Enigma TNG Remix))
"Poor, pitiful Burizalor. Is this how you want your villainous legacy to end? On a bitch note?!"
"Wha… it can't… be…"
Zeed X blinked. "Hmm?"
"Looks like I'm gonna have to save your ass again, tyrant."
"But, you're dead…" Burizalor muttered.
"Why do people forget about these things called 'details'? Look on your right shoulder. See that glowing green glob? That's me. Well, my nucleus, but you get the point. Now, time for ultimate perfection to be reborn!"
Boom!
An explosion erupted from Burizalor. Then, an electrified wall of smoke materialized next to Burizalor.
Zeed X's face and voice turned back to normal. His Taichi hair and Freeza 'tail' disappeared.
"Hmm,, so you faked your death, bug man?" Zeed X remarked.
Burizalor stared at the veil of smoke subside, revealing Virus himself. Like before, he was in his 'Super Perfect' state based off the electrical sparks shooting from his aura, but his green armored skin was crimson. Virus raised his head and faced Zeed X. A self-confident smirk adorned the bio-artificial's features.
"VIRUS?!" Burizalor blanched.
"Heh, were you expecting Santa Claus, Burizalor?" Virus chortled, making light of the dire situation.
Celesta X HM immediately sensed Virus's power. "There's no mistaken! That's Virus!"
WarAngemon gaped. "But, he's supposed to be dead!"
Metalla X rolled his eyes. "Oh joy, the perfect asshole's back."
"Love you, too, Yamakins," Crimson Virus sardonically expressed his 'respect' for Metalla X.
Max remarked. "Never count out that nucleus of his."
"Bingo," Virus overheard them. "Glad you remember that detail, Max Kamiya. Yes, as long as my nucleus remains intact, I can keep regenerating. After every regeneration, I get stronger thanks to those lovely Ascendant cells in me. Alas Yagami couldn't live to be with us."
"Ok, so you're red now. What do you call yourself?" asked Jax.
"Dear brother, you and your friends can call me, Crimson Virus. A shame sister couldn't be here to see me in my new glory." the egotistical bio-artificial announced his new evolution. "And with the power I've gained, I have achieved true ultimate perfection!" He clenched his fist and set his sights on Zeed X. "Now, all of you stand back. I'm going to take care of this eyesore."
Omega X (DF-616 Prime) growled. "What?! No, you're going to need some help!"
Crimson Virus nodded. "No need, other-Taichi. This one's on me. Free of charge."
Burizalor seethed. "No… no… NO! He's mine!"
Crimson Virus sighed. "You just can't let it go, can you? Your fight's over. Let me have a go at him."
"You're really full of it if you think you can take him on!" Angemon X chided the bio-artificial.
"Worry about protecting your woman and that cute kid of yours, Dimitri my boy," Crimson Virus said.
"Virus, wait! You can't beat him on your own!" Celesta X HM pleaded to him.
"I realize that, Hikari. And can I say you've grown into the formidable warrior like your brother," Crimson Virus gave his props to his nemesis. "I'd love nothing more than to have another go with you and show you my ultimate perfect power, but that's not what fate determined. In the end, you'll outlive me."
"So, you intend to go out…" Max realized.
(End theme)
"Even briefly, I'm happy to know I've reached my ultimate perfection and surpassed you, Hikari. Live with that for the rest of your life," Crimson Virus powered up, now with a red cloak instead of a golden one. "Hey, Mr. Clown Shoes, why don't you entertain me?!" He called out Zeed X and powered up, letting out a thunderous battle roar. "HAAAAA!" In his own mind, he heard the loud chorus of cheers and roars as if he were reliving his War Games event at an esports tournament event.
Crimson Virus flew head-on with the anomalous one.
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - Fierce Battle Against a Mighty Foe)
Zeed X smiled and dodged Crimson Virus's punch. The anomalous one dodged and parried the bio-artificial's attacks. Zeed X casually threw blasts that blew apart Virus's body parts, but the crimson bio-artificial regenerated his limbs.
"Gonna have to do better than that, troll man!" Crimson Virus laughed. "You're facing the pinnacle of ultimate perfection!" He phased out and reappeared behind Zeed X. He went for a punch, but Zeed X vanished. "Ok, you want to play tag?! Well, tag you're it, bitch!" He tossed a Destructo Disc at Zeed X.
Zeed X stopped with disc with one hand and nullified it. He flew at Crimson Virus and stretched his arm to grab him. Crimson Virus dodged and repelled him with his barrier.
"You think you're the only one who can taunt with his opponent? I've been doing this before you came around, amateur!" Crimson Virus tried his own head games with the master manipulator. He then used Instant Movement to get behind Zeed X. He reached for Zeed X, who teleported inside the crater again.
Burizalor barely crawled out from the crater. He watched Crimson Virus making his last stand against Zeed X.
"Don't you look pathetic, Burizalor?" Crimson Virus then put his hand out and donated energy to the tyrant. "C'mon, get up and fight with me. Maybe for the last time."
As Virus's energy entered Burizalor, the renewed tyrant gained a boost and powered up to his Golden state. All of his wounds are healed, including restoring his fingernails and toenails.
"Give me your energy? That's so Taichi-like of you."
"I have his DNA incorporated in me. Same with yours, Burizalor. Now get up here."
Golden Burizalor floated up next to Crimson Virus. The heroes couldn't believe what they were witnessing. Two of DF-616's biggest baddies were teaming up against Zeed X.
"Ready, Burizalor?!" Crimson Virus roared.
Golden Burizalor yelled out as he and Crimson Virus dive bombed into Zeed X. The villainous duo unloaded a volley of blasts at Zeed X. Zeed X flew at them and fired a beam. Both Golden Burizalor and Crimson Virus flew into the air, luring Zeed X away. They attacked Zeed X with fisticuffs. Zeed X unleashed a wave, sending both villains crashing into the crater.
"Whoa, talk about surreal!" Neo-Queen Serenity exclaimed.
"If someone told me two villains would be fighting against our biggest bad ever, I'd say you're high," Houou Mars remarked. "I doubt even the Houou would've seen this coming."
"I can't believe this is even happening!" Jax was flabbergasted.
"No joke. I never saw this coming," BW said. "Virus concealed himself so well."
"Never in a million years would the bad guys be fighting for our survival," Max realized the irony. The fact Burizalor decided to turn on Zeed X and forego killing Taichi Prime is proof he sees value in our dimension. This doesn't mean he's gonna turn over a new leaf and become a good guy. That's just not him.
"YEAH! GO, BURIZALOR AND VIRUS!" Guilkatomon cheered, much to his friends' shock and dismay. "...um… heh… sorry, couldn't help it."
"Control those fanboy urges, Takato," Terryamon said.
"Yeah, please do," Renrukimon remarked.
"Heh, I can't blame him. I'd do the same," Neo Frigg added.
"Should've kept quiet, Takato," Dramon X AI mumbled as Jirenmon and Toppomon turned away from him. "Hey!"
As Crimson Virus and Golden Burizalor headed off Zeed X, Jirenmon and Toppomon intervened.
"You want some of this, Roger the Gray?" Crimson Virus asked Jirenmon as he flew straight at Jirenmon and unleashed a barrage of punches. "Or, do you prefer I call you, Mr. Clean?!" He teleported behind Jirenmon using Instant Movement. "Or, Go Go Steroid Ranger?!"
"Virus, quit messing around and beat him!" Golden Burizalor shouted as he blasted Toppomon with Death Beams.
The bio-artificial yelled. "If we're going out, we might as well make this something to remember!"
Jirenmon punched Crimson Virus back. Toppomon kicked Golden Burizalor away.
Boom!
Crimson Virus and Golden Burizalor crashed into a crater wall.
"I told you I can handle them myself," Zeed X scoffed. He raised a hand and conjured a multi-colored sphere. "So, which one of you wants to go first?"
(End theme)
Smirking, Crimson Virus floated out of the wall. In an act of defiance, he faced down Zeed X. He cupped his hands together and conjured a red ball of Ki instead of blue.
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - A Secret Plan With One's Life on the Line)
"Fool, what do you think this will accomplish?" Golden Burizalor scoffed, prying himself off the crater wall.
Crimson Virus smirked. "Nothing, but it gives you a chance to live and reflect on your transgressions. Not that I expect you to end your evil ways. After all, I'd know because I am partly you."
"Let me live? And you're going…"
Crimson Virus focused and made his ki ball bigger.
"..well damn. You're a bigger man than I am," Golden Burizalor remarked. "But, don't think you can take this glory from me!" As he joined in and powered up his Death Beam.
"Are you two hasbeens ready to go? Any last words?" Zeed X asked.
Feeling something in the air, Crimson Virus chuckled. "Yes, he's coming." With that, he launched his Crimson Tsunami Wave, firing it toward Zeed X.
At the exact same time, Golden Burizalor shot his Death Beam. Their attacks collided with Zeed X's Millennia Epilogue. The villainous duo didn't relent to the anomalous one's finishing attack. At that moment, Crimson Virus kicked Golden Burizalor out of the crater.
"Heh, whoops my bad," Crimson Virus laughed as he pushed back against Zeed X, who wasn't even trying.
"Virus, you sneaky bastard!" Golden Burizalor shouted. "How dare you rob me of this!"
As he faced Zeed X, all Crimson Virus could see was Celesta X HM firing her Holy Terra Beam; the exact one that destroyed him years ago. That was enough to fuel his valor and pushed his power further, but nowhere near enough to beat Zeed X.
As the Millennia Epilogue engulfed him, Crimson Virus resigned to his fate.
Yes, now I can perish satisfied to have reached my ultimate perfection. I have surpassed Datamon's expectations. Hikari, I hope you remember this well! And Taichi… "HE'S ALL YOURS, KAMIYA!"
(End theme)
Upon erasing Crimson Virus, Zeed X purged yet another victim.
Then, with absolute great timing…
(Cue Dragon Ball Super OST - The Final Death-Match)
Boom!
An immense beam of white light blasted the ground where Crimson Virus used to be. Zeed X, Jirenmon, and Toppomon were thrown off by a blinding flash of light. Inside this pillar, a familiar figure rose. Everyone watching were overwhelmed with shock and elation.
The figure inside was none other than Omega X.
Jirenmon blinked, feeling being drawn to Omega X. Zeed X noticed this and faced Omega X.
"Impossible… you're dead…" Zeed X gasped. "No, you perished. I saw your body and soul eradicated in that spirit ball of yours."
"TAI?!" Celesta X HM screamed out to her revived brother.
"No way, it's really Tai and Agumon! They're back!" WarAngemon was taken aback by Omega X's return. "Wait, did Virus know…? He must've sensed him coming the moment he was destroyed!"
"Tai… DAD!" Max became elated to see the Ascendant back. But, how's this possible without any Digicores?!
"Grunkle Tai is back! Yay!" ArcticOphanimon X cheered loudly and happily.
"But, how…? Tai!" Angemon X wondered.
"We'll worry about that later. TAI!" Glacialis Sedna called out to Omega X.
"Way to rebound from death, Tai!" Guilkatomon exclaimed until he had to pause and realize what he said. "But, wait. Are you really dead or alive?!"
Yusuke blinked. "Maybe he turned out like me?"
"What? Like revived into a full demon?" Yugi remarked
Hearing this from Yusuke, Omega X (DF-616 Prime) stood up and acknowledged Omega X's reemergence.
"Oh, he hasn't reawakened into a Digi-Mazoku. This is something even more divine and grander…" Omega X (DF-616 Prime) vaguely hinted.
Although initially flabbergasted, Metalla X smiled ironically. "Didn't take you long to come back, you damn bastard."
Rose(mon) X teared up happily. "Tai… Agumon… welcome back."
"We're glad you're back," Ultimate Madoka nodded as if her prayers were answered.
"Lord Beerusmon. This has to be the working of the One." Whismon addressed the Digital God of Destruction.
"The One who oversees all?" Beerusmon vaguely said.
The angel nodded. "Indeed, the One Above All. The One that monitors the Source. The Overseer."
As Omega X straightened his body, his white aura flared in similar fashion to Dramon X AI. Zeed X growled and threw a punch at Omega X.
Much to his surprise, Omega X vanished and reappeared behind him. Zeed X was baffled by this. He went on the attack and unloaded a barrage of punches. Omega X instinctively dodged as if reading Zeed X's moves like an open book.
Bam!
Omega X gut punched Zeed X and made the anomalous one double over. He felt a similar pain when Dramon X AI decked him.
"GET HIM!" Zeed X ordered Jirenmon and Toppomon.
Both Digital Pride Troopers rushed Omega X. Before they could reach him, Omega X vanished and reappeared behind them. He casually walked toward Zeed X, who flew out of the crater.
"TAKE THIS!" Zeed X roared, seething and losing it. He tossed a Millennia Epilogue at Omega X.
As the attack closed in, Omega X's white aura flared brighter. His hair turned completely white. His eyes turned silver.
Boom!
The attack connected and seemingly erased Omega X from existence again.
However, that wasn't the case at all.
Zeed X turned to see Omega X holding the Millennia Epilogue in one hand. A clear ethereal aura surrounded Omega X. Clenching his hand, the Ascendant nullified Zeed X's attack with a Hakai-like energy. Zeed X quickly turned and threw a punch, which Omega X dodged and pounced over.
Boom!
Zeed X was knocked back by the Ascendant's aura. However, in that instant, Omega X hit him with over millions of strikes that Zeed X couldn't see coming. Omega X's aura had enough power to undo the barriers containing Whismon, Vadosmon, Moinanea, Ultimate Madoka, Devil Homura, Neo-Queen Serenity, and Houou Mars.
Everyone watching stood in awe. Even the Gods of Destruction, the angels, and Moinanea stood. Omega X (DF-616 Prime) was in awe of his counterpart's new ascension.
Zeed X launched himself at Omega X. Omega X saw him coming a mile away and put an arm out. Zeed X seemingly went through him. As Omega X walked forward, Zeed X's body exploded and contorted as if being pummeled by millions of unseen strikes. The impact of the attack was enough to send Zeed X flying far back.
Omega X turned his silver eyes to where Zeed X was. The aura covering him like a shell started crumbling into pieces. His glowing white hair faded and became silver.
Initially shocked, Dramon X AI smiled over this development. "So, you achieved it, too. Well done, Tai."
"Whismon," Beerusmon said.
"Yes?"
"Taichi's actually reached it, hasn't he?"
"Yes, but not on his own. This certainly seems like divine intervention beyond my foresight."
Beerusmon smiled. "Regardless, what an incredible guy Taichi is. This form. This magnificent glow. That… that is indeed the perfected…" He briefly looked at Dramon X AI.
"Brother, I know you aren't happy with the other guy achieving the perfected form," Champamon said. "But, can't we just be happy we have two of them?"
Beerusmon resigned to this reality. "I suppose, but it's Taichi I'm most happy for. What we're looking at is the perfected Ascendancy Instinct!"
Omega X, bathed in an ethereal divine aura of silver and blue consisting of fire-like energy, glared down Zeed X, who stood. His silver hair was wilder and solid than normal. The shape of his eyes, sporting silver irises and visible pupils, took on a steely look. The glow in the Ascendant's eyes shimmered. The Crest of Courage symbol glowed and became emblazoned on his chest.
Out of the YYGDM-01 leaders, Neo Frigg took careful notice of Omega X Ascendancy Instinct.
"Kotori? What's wrong?" Neo-Queen Serenity asked the Valkyrie.
"Nothing, just that he looks so badass," Neo Frigg marveled at Omega X AI.
(End theme)
Dramon X AI and Omega X (DF-616 Prime) landed beside Omega X AI. The trio had their eyes locked on Zeed X, Jirenmon, and Toppomon. Neither side said anything. Not even Zeed X had any witty retorts to make.
Zeed X nodded and beckoned the Digital Pride Troopers to attack.
"Come on!" Omega X roared. An aura shaped like Omegamon exploded behind him.
(Cue Dragon Ball Super - Ultimate Battle/Ultra Instinct (Ka Ka Kachi Daze))
With that, Omega X (DF-616 Prime) powered back up to his War God Mode. He and Omega X AI ran toward Zeed X. Dramon X AI engaged Jirenmon and Toppomon. As the two behemoths threw punches at Dramon X AI, he dodged their blows and knocked Toppomon back. Dramon X AI was left to fight with Jirenmon.
The YYGDM-01 leaders, Houou Mars, Metalla X, and Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) headed off to keep Toppomon away from the fights.
"There's a chance we can purge whatever Zeed X's using to control this one!" Neo-Queen Serenity said, taking out her Silver Crystal.
"Allow me and the Houou to do it!" Houou Mars summoned her new white flames, which formed into her phoenix cloak.
"Hey, you Lorax-looking motherfucker! Over here!" Metalla X flew at Toppomon.
"No, over here!" Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) yelled out.
As Toppomon prepared to attack them, the Metalla X duo quickly phased out. They reappeared on Toppomon's opposite ends. Metalla X readily had a charged ball of energy in his palms. Likewise, Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) formed an energy ball in his hands. Metalla X fired off his Cocytus Blast in conjunction with Metalla X (DF-616 Prime) unleashing his Final Shine Attack. Both beams collided and dealt some damage to Toppomon.
At the same time, Guilkatomon amassed a white fiery ball and fired a white variation of his Hazard Wave, which for this occasion was augmented into an Instinctive Hazard Wave. Neo Frigg fired a stronger Aesir Kamehameha, which became Instinctive Aesir Kamehameha. KaiserGreymon raised his sword and unleashed his Instinctive Pyro Dragons. Yusuke readily fired his strongest attack: the Instinctive Spirit Gun. Yugi and his Dark Magician duo cast their strongest spell attack: Instinctive Magic Attack. Glacialis Sedna drew out her Dragon Saber, imbuing it with her Light Legacy and borrowed Ascendancy Instinct powers to send an Instinctive Icicle Barrage. Neo-Queen Serenity then used her Silver Crystal and imbued the borrowed Ascendancy Instinct powers to subdue Toppomon.
After these attacks completely subdue and put Toppomon down, Houou Mars got behind the behemoth. She put her hands on his back and unleashed her white Houou cloak, which entered Toppomon's body and purged Zeed X's corruption out of him. As a result, Toppomon powered down out of his God of Destruction form.
Once the evil glow in his eyes faded, Toppomon came to and scanned his surroundings in confusion.
"Where… where am I?" Toppomon asked.
"You were captured and put under control by that guy over there!" Guilkatomon pointed toward Zeed X.
"Not only you, but he captured your friend there!" Neo-Queen Serenity said. "He sent you two to fight us."
"Us forced to fight and kill other heroes? This is unforgivable!" Toppomon fumed over being used like a puppet.
"It's not too late to save your friend, but we better hurry before one of our friends end up killing him," Houou Mars said, watching Jirenmon and Dramon X AI going all out.
"Jirenmon's reaching for his maximum strength! He must be stopped!" Toppomon exclaimed.
"Yeah, believe us. We've already seen your guy go all out already and nearly destroyed the whole dimension we were in before," Neo Frigg said.
"Brother! You need to end it! We've freed the other one from Zeed X's control!" Glacialis Sedna called out to Dramon X AI.
"We must hurry then!" Toppomon hastily went to save Jirenmon.
Emitting a red fiery aura, Jirenmon bellowed and unleashed a barrage of instantaneous punches at Dramon X AI. Dramon X AI dodged, parrying Jirenmon's blows. Both had the same idea and gut punched each other.
Pow!
Dramon X AI and Jirenmon stumbled from one another. Jirenmon doubled over and grinded his teeth, trying to hold in the pain.
"It's time we end this!" Jirenmon bellowed, preparing to end his duel with the Accel Ascendant. "You and your evil shall be eradicated by my flames of justice!"
"Bring all you've got!" Dramon X AI flew back and charged up for a Ryuken Wave.
Jirenmon powered up to use his most dangerous technique, Heatwave Magnetron.
The YYGDM-01 leaders and Houou Mars quickly got in Jirenmon's way. The Grey roared and lunged at the group with his readily charged attack. He was able to repel most of the heroes, except Neo-Queen Serenity, Guilkatomon, and Houou Mars. The trio blasted Jirenmon together. Jirenmon was pushed away, but he fought hard and nullified their attacks with an aura. He lunged at the trio and knocked Guilkatomon away. Houou Mars threw herself in front of her future queen and augmented her white Houou cloak. Jirenmon grabbed her Houou cloak and slowly started ripping it.
"MARS!" Neo-Queen Serenity cried out, shocked the Grey was physically ripping the Houou's cosmic cloak.
The Houou roared within her cosmic cloak, sending waves toward Jirenmon. "He's managing to tear into my cloak! This cannot go on for much longer!" With that, she and Houou Mars blasted Jirenmon with a telekinetic blast that neutralized the Grey's mind.
"GET BACK!" Both Houou Mars and the Houou yelled out in unison.
"Hang on…!" Before Guilkatomon aided her, Toppomon managed to sneak up and restrained Jirenmon from behind.
"I've got him! Hit him and purge that villain's control over him!" Toppomon called out.
Without hesitation, Neo-Queen Serenity and Houou Mars hit Jirenmon with a wave of divine light. This was enough to remove Zeed X's impurities.
"Way to go, guys!" Amare Venus cheered them.
"Let him have it, brother/Ken/uncle Ken!" Glacialis Sedna, the Kuipers, Angemon X, and ArcticOphanimon X cried out in unison.
As Jirenmon came to, he was unable to stop and incidentally fired off his heat wave. Despite this, Dramon X AI still turned things around and ran head-on with the incoming attack. He jumped up and surfed across the heat blast. He somersaulted into the air and blasted Jirenmon head-on with his Ryuken Wave.
Then, Dramon X AI formed a large white dimensional portal behind the defeated Jirenmon. With enough strength, Toppomon grabbed Jirenmon on hold, and both are sent back to Digiverse 11.
"Defeat that villain for the Digital Pride Troopers!" Toppomon yells were heard as the portal closed.
"Finally, we got these two out of our backs." Dramon X AI sighed in relief.
"Now, only one remains," Neo-Queen Serenity stated.
"Tai!" Guilkatomon called out.
"Which one?" Renrukimon asked him.
"Obviously the one we know. Tai, we've cleared out the rest of the baddies!"
Meanwhile, both Omega Xs continue their engagement against Zeed X. Zeed X attempted to go on the defense, but Omega X (DF-616 Prime) punched through the physical wall and headbutted Zeed X ten times until he is sent flying. Zeed X recovered and unleashed a Dominus Destroyer, sending various large and small shockwaves. However, Omega X AI used his essokinesis from his perfected Ascendancy Instinct aura to instantly dissolve all of Zeed X's attacks.
"It can't be…!" Zeed X muttered in dismay. He tried using his Millennia Power Reset, which passed through Omega X AI, but to his dismay, the Ascendant no sold its effects. "I CALL PLOT INCONVENIENCE BULLSHIT! DAMN YOU, DEUS EX OVERSEER!"
Taking advantage of his enemy's unhinged outburst, Omega X AI charged and delivered another million round of punches at Zeed X's body that sent him flying high to the sky. Omega X AI then fired his Supreme Tsunami Wave at Zeed X. Zeed X let out a scream as his body became badly damaged and burnt from the divine energy beam.
(End theme)
The energy is cleared and Zeed X fell to the ground. As both Omega Xs stood guard, Zeed X got up again recovering from his burns and bruises. The rest of the heroes and Burizalor convoked behind the two warriors.
"Well done for properly damaging me, Taichi. This is the power of Ascendancy Instinct… no, power unlocked by the Overseer. Well played. No wonder that last ability didn't work on you. Screw it. Never doing that again." Zeed X said to Omega X AI. "All of my agents have been removed from the game. Obviously, I am the only one left standing."
Dramon X AI spoke up. "I'd like to beat the shit out of you some more, but there's a wrong that needs to be corrected." He glanced over to Miho and Vivian. "I know he took your powers, but since I am a Bearer of Miracles and have access to all my Light Legacy powers now, I can restore what he stole."
Hearing this, Vivian and Miho looked up at Dramon X AI. The Accel Ascendant's white aura enveloped Miho and Vivian. Before long, they were turned back to Illusio Makemake and Harena Haumea good as new.
Upon seeing this, Zeed X grumbled. "Why am not surprised? The writer didn't want the Kuiper team to be incomplete."
Illusion Makemake teared with happiness. "Thank you, Kensuke! Our Sailor powers are back!"
Harena Haumea punched her right hand into her palm. "Hell yeah! Heh, now I'm raring to go!"
Joey grinned. "A'right, now that's been fixed!"
Yugi nodded to Makemake and Haumea. "Thank goodness you two are still able to participate. Now we can fight for all our fallen friends."
Glacialis Sedna hugged Dramon X AI. "Thank you for helping them, brother."
Omega X AI stepped up against Zeed X. "It's over, Zeed X. Thanks to the Overseer, we have the creative power of authors on our side!"
"Yeah? You think I give a damn!?" Zeed X furiously retorted.
As Zeed X aimed to push everyone away with a cosmic wave, a flash of lightning stopped him from attacking. Whatever intervened caused him to back away. A brown box with a note attached to it appeared in Dramon X AI's hand.
"Oh for omniverse's sakes, first Tai's creator saves him from death, now yours gives you a present in the middle of our climactic battle?!"
Looking over the note attached to the box, Dramon X looked at Zeed X with a look of disdain.
"You succeeded..." This statement confused Zeed X and shocked everyone else present to the point where the fighting had temporarily stopped. No one expected Dramon X of all people to admit submission to an enemy.
"Excuse me?" Zeed X asked, almost dumbfounded by this statement.
"Brother?" Sedna asked, deeply concerned with Dramon X's shockingly passive submission.
"You succeeded in breaking me. How does it feel? Are you happy?"
Zeed X shook his head at Dramon X's question. "It's a little late to be changing character this late in a story. What the hell is written on that note? What the hell is in the box?"
Clutching it tightly, Dramon X AI snapped the box open. As the pieces went flying, they were incinerated as a syringe with what appeared to be white pulsating energy that seemed to be fire based appeared and burned the remains of the box. "Explain this."
Just then, the Houou telepathically warned Mars. 'I'm sensing holy energy from that syringe, but it's not normal either.'
So you don't know what it is Houou? Mars asked her spirit partner.
However, Zeed X did recognize what was coming out of it.
"The power of Zarathos, the spirit who is bonded with the Ghost Rider Johnny Blaze, an angel of justice. What do you intend to do? Stab me with that and hope I repent?"
Dramon X AI flipped the syringe around.
This made his eyes widen. Zeed X shouted. "Are you fucking kidding me!?"
"Brother, what are you about to do!?" Sedna asked. Dramon X AI however gave no response.
"Ken, what was written in that note!?" Angemon X demanded.
"Tell us now!" Omega X AI yelled out to him.
As his eyes burned with fury, Zeed X growled. "So using two magical artifacts that should've killed you wasn't enough. Now you're going to inject more holy energy into your body? Look I know you're running on pure adrenaline right now so when this fight is over, even if I was to somehow lose, you're going to pay a hefty fee in pain and suffering."
Dramon X AI nonchalantly shrugged. "I won't be the only one who loses then. You sealed your fate when you came in here. Slade always told me that the one thing anyone should never fuck with is the Source, and again you're right, I don't know what's gonna happen. It's downright scary to think about, but if it means you suffer and lose it's WORTH IT!" With that, he injected himself with the syringe. His body began pulsating with light once he did. Zeed X growled and charged him but was repelled as 'white fire' started to envelop Dramon X AI's head.
"Damn it!" Zeed X cursed as Omega X AI caught the note that had been attached to the box.
Sedna and Angemon X flew over to him.
"What does that note say!?" Sedna questioned.
"Uncle Ken!" ArcticOphanimon X cried out to him.
"It says 'Here, a gift to fuck this asshole up, be warned using it will have reprecussions after the battle. Signed, your creator. P.S. Have a nice day.' Wait what!? So, this is what the Overseer meant about by invoking a wish for Kensuke's creator!" Omega X AI exclaimed.
(Cue Mario. EXE OST - Level 4)
Zeed X didn't like hearing this. "Oh delightful! Now I've got multiple creators against me! This isn't…!" He didn't get to finish as Dramon X AI grabbed him by the throat. What came next spooked everyone present as his voice changed.
"Zeed X, creation of chaos, your sins are innumerable! I am here to wreak vengeance upon your soul!" Dramon X AI's eyes flared up, and Zeed X quickly realized what was coming.
"No, no, no, NO!" The anomalous entity could feel his very soul being burned away, struggling and kicking. Dramon X AI would not let go as he witnessed all of the dead bodies and their dead echoing screams from across all the carnage caused by his ten reincarnations.
Finally having enough, he managed to break loose and kicked Dramon X AI back, but the damage was done. All his confidence and smugness was gone. They were replaced by fear and anger.
"I WILL NOT LOSE TO ANY OF YOU! IF I DIE, YOU AND YOUR CREATORS ARE ALL GOING WITH ME!"
(End theme)
Then, Zeed X powered up as a colorless aura with black sparks surrounding him. His body is given modifications. His arms and legs gained thicker spikes and scales. Two upper feathered wings, and two bottom devilish wings burst out of his back. Horns similar to Zeed's appeared on his forehead. His short white hair became long and unkempt. As Zeed X finished powering up, bursts of anomalous feathers came out of his body and exploded in mid-air, ripping out fragments of the dimension.
"Dark Schneider, eat your heart out. And now playtime is truly over. With me and the DNA of my previous incarnation as one, I've transcended to reach Digital Ascendancy!" Zeed X Digital Ascendancy announced with an overly vigorous expression. He shed off and cast his weaker form off.
Dramon X AI scoffed. "I'm gonna go Dark Schneider on your ass when it's said and done."
Neo Frigg added. "Man, I can't believe we're at this point and still alive!"
Yugi nodded. "One thing's for sure, we'll avenge our friends."
"I just hope we can bring them back after we beat this freak," Yusuke said.
"We will win. That's what we do, right?" Neo-Queen Serenity resolved along with the others.
Omega X AI frowned and pointed to Zeed X DA. "You think you're the only one who can fuse?" He turned to Omega X War God (DF-616 Prime). "What do you say? It's worth a shot."
"Yeah, let's do this," Omega X (DF-616 Prime) complied.
Both Omega Xs put their hands together as white light enveloped them.
(Cue Super Dragon Ball Heroes OST - Ultra Instinct Theme)
Then, Omega X AI and Omega X (DF-616 Prime) fused together to form into a single being. His appearance is the same as Omega X AI with his white hair and hairstyle, but he wore Omega X (DF-616 Prime)'s Digi-Mazoku wardrobe. He has a whitish blazing, winged aura that is akin to Agumon Burst Mode.
"Now, you can call me, Omega X! Digital Ascendancy!" The Digital Fused Ascendant declared.
Masaru watched in awe and grinned. "Oh, wow, this is so freaking cool!"
ShineGreymon BM concurred. "Hell yeah, Aniki!"
Golden Burizalor snorted and sardonically added. "As if one Taichi wasn't enough, but two fused into one? Talk about revolting."
Celesta X HM praised. "That's my brother… and my brother? Either way, they're both amazing." She smiled and put her hand on her chest. And I'm going to show how amazing I can be, too! Right, Homeostasis?
Guilkatomon was on cloud nine seeing two versions of his inspiration combined into one. "I'll forever keep this ingrained in my head for the rest of my life."
Moinanea smiled proudly. "Indeed, all of us won't forget this moment."
Beerusmon grinned. "Yes, now things have gotten far more interesting."
Tempus Pluto VM keenly eyed Omega X DA. "These are interesting developments. Whatever revived Omega X had to be from an entity whose authority supersedes Lady Cosmos."
Devil Homura frowned. "Zeed X, your days of terrorizing the omniverse are over."
Ultimate Madoka clasped her hands as if giving a prayer. "Now let victory shine our way."
Omega X DA dropped into a battle stance. Along with his friends and compatriots, they faced off against the omniverse's biggest threat.
"Let this finale be written in the history books," Zeed X DA declared. "But once I'm the one left standing, fiction shall cease altogether. The final phase of the Omniversal War and my Zero Dawn are set."

Next chapter: Omniversal War, Part I
xxxxx
A/N: The end is near, my friends. The next two chapters will cover the Omniversal War from CG. While the CG chapter was an over 50+ word count megasode, I've divided them into two Ascendancy chapters. Essentially, two halves of a megasode.
A lot happened in this chapter. I've written new scenes (notably the cold opening) to expound on our heroes fighting and losing the fight against Zeed X and his Pride Trooper servants. Zeed X once again broke the fourth wall and used a borrowed technique from an existing character to make an example of the two Yu-Gi-Oh! Kuiper characters. Then, he makes short work of the two Gods of Destruction and seals up the deity/deity-tier characters.
Burizalor tries to make a last stand against his former master, but Zeed X made him his own personal punchline and brought back Linda Young's dialogue. Poor, poor Burizalor.
And then comes the big Virus moment. I was so thrilled to bring back for one last round. The magnificent Cell-expy bastard himself returns briefly with a new red coat of paint. Crimson Virus makes an entrance. Alongside Golden Burizalor, they put up a resistance against Zeed X. While it doesn't amount to much, it gives Virus one last hurrah before going out in a blaze of glory.
Though Crimson Virus's comeback was short-lived, it perfectly segued way into Omega X's grand return. And he comes back with perfected Ascendancy Instinct in all of its majesty. This is much earlier than the anticipated Tournament of Power adaptation I have planned. I'd be lying if I said I didn't get a smile when Zeed X got his cocky butt handed to him.
Thankfully, two Ascendancy Instinct-tier characters helped turn the tide against Zeed X and the two Digital Pride Troopers. Toppomon and Jirenmon are purified and sent back to their native Digiverse 11.
And for another new scene, Chaos wrote the part with Dramon X receiving the gifted box from the Overseer (acting on Chaosblazer's whim). Who would've thought he'd receive the power of Ghost Rider and eject fear into Zeed X.
And for an added twist, the two Omega Xs merge into Digital Ascendancy to counteract Zeed X's own Digital Ascendancy.
This is it. The Omniversal War is upon us. While this isn't the final arc for Ascendancy, it's most certainly the end of the Triad crossover adventures from Cross Generations. Can't wait to delve into and relive the madness from CG's final battle!
Send a review and look forward to the end!
