Digimon Fusion Ascendancy
Act X: AlphaNova X
Chapter LXXX: The Strongest Fusion vs. The Mightiest Ascendant!
Digital World/Polar Continent
(Cue Morgan Studios - DBZ Remixes Collab: Goku SSJ2)
Joining in the fight, Metalla X convened with Omega X and Gundamon as the latter had been fending off AlphaNova X's ferocity. Having witnessed AlphaNova X's rapid power growth, Metalla X knew this fight couldn't press on longer.
"It's pretty damn obvious you two aren't going to defeat him yourselves!" Metalla X berated Omega X and Gundamon.
"I hate to admit it, but you're right," Gundamon replied.
"Let's see if he can handle all three of us then," Omega X suggested.
As Metalla X's hair turned blue, the three Super Ascendant Gods launched forward and fought AlphaNova X simultaneously. The trio collided with AlphaNova X, landing quick blows that barely staggered the frenzied warrior. AlphaNova X retaliated with a flurry of energy blasts, sending the three Ascendants back. Activating a barrier, Gundamon protected him, Omega X, and Metalla X from an incoming rain of blasts. However, a few powerful beams cracked the barrier, causing a few to hit the trio.
A cylinder-like instrument popped out from a compartment in Gundamon's back. With a button push, this cylinder created a purple beam that came in the shape of a saber. Seizing the laser saber, Gundamon quickly slashed at AlphaNova X. As Gundamon defended AlphaNova X off with his Beam Saber, Omega X and Metalla X came together, amassing Ki into their hands and preparing their attacks.
Omega X fired off his Tsunami Wave at the same time Metalla X launched his Cocytus Blast. Launching their attacks simultaneously, they aimed toward AlphaNova X. Gundamon swiftly evaded their combined blast. However, AlphaNova X created two energy balls in his hands, allowing him to push through the Ascendants' combined attack.
"Guys, we need a plan B!" Gundamon called out.
"I've got it!" Omega X called out as he and Metalla X lured AlphaNova, who was in hot pursuit of them.
Following the trails of green and blue light streaks, Gundamon muttered. "There's also the matter of Burizalor being here. The others are already fighting them! I better get there before that bastard does anything to them!"
Relocating to a closer vicinity, Burizalor adjusted a wristband apparatus on his right arm. "This will come in handy to teleport me where I need to be. It should also help me conserve my energy." With a maniacal grin etched on his features, the digital tyrant set his sights on the heated battle.
"This has been quite a spectacle. I'm just glad I have front-row seats," Burizalor said, relishing his foes fighting to survive against AlphaNova X's rampage.
"Then, your viewing is about to get canceled!" Keke interjected, quickly drawing Burizalor's attentive view from the fight.
(End theme)
When Burizalor turned the other way, he saw Keke & Mothramon, Houou X, and Kabuto X. A calm but fiendish smirk adorned the tyrant's features, seemingly unfazed by their presence. He was amused that they even bothered to confront him.
"What do we have here? Do the tag-a-longs decide they want to play hero and thwart my leisure activity?" The tyrant responded with a haughty chuckle.
"Burizalor! You had to be the one responsible for killing that man, right?" Kabuto X interrogated him for an answer.
"Me? That was Kenji's doing? That boy lost so much control during his fight that he threw a ton of stray blasts. Did you not see that debris that came flying at him? It was launched that way by one of Kenji's attacks!" Burizalor concealed the truth of killing Kenji's father, feigning innocence all while drawing ire from his adversaries.
"You're full of it and you know it. Whatever happened, the truth will come out," Houou X said, producing wildfire from her aura.
"Let's be careful, you two. Burizalor's a lot stronger than the last time he killed you back on Spira and certainly much stronger than he was when we fought his Apocaly X form not too long ago," Keke reminded the two Chosen.
"Yes, how could I not forget killing you two? Sora and Koushiro, you two are so desperate to avenge your deaths and now that you've achieved the once legendary Ascendant status, you feel you're up to the task of defeating me?" Burizalor boasted until he gestured and shrugged. "You had many chances to do so, but my power has ridiculously eclipsed yours now. I don't see any point in dirtying my hands toying with some Ascendant bargain sale deals."
Hearing being downplayed as 'bargain sale' elicited anger from three Ascendants.
(Cue Deceptive Tyrants (Frieza vs Megatron) - Brandon Yates)
"That said, I do have a little time to kill. So, come at me and give me a decent warm-up. I'll try hard not to kill you two especially again," Burizalor offered his enemies a shot to take him down.
Taking up on his word, Houou X and Kabuto X flew at Burizalor. Sprouting a pair of dark red bird wings, Houou X took flight. As Houou X flew up and amassed flames from her neck and arm feathers, Kabuto X launched a flurry of blinding fast strikes on Burizalor. The tyrant effortlessly dodged Kabuto X's attacks by sidestepping. After dodging Kabuto X's attacks, Burizalor tail-whipped him away.
As she produced fire in her hands, Houou X launched fire arrows at Burizalor. Catching the sight of Houou X's Fire Arrow, Burizalor threw a devastating energy wave that nullified Houou X's fiery arrows. Amid Burizalor's attack, Keke turned full-powered Ascendant level 2 and unloaded with a furry of kicks. Irked by Keke's efforts, Burizalor parried her attacks and whipped her back with his tail. Mothramon dove over Burizalor and sprinkled poisonous dust over him. The tyrant formed a Ki barrier, which eradicated the dust from touching him.
"Not that your poison would ever affect me, but I don't like getting dust on my polished figure," Burizalor remarked, shooting eye beams toward Mothramon.
"Mothramon!" Keke cried out, diving up to knock away Burizalor's beams. When the beams struck her arm, they left a burnt mark on her. "Are you ok, Mothramon?"
"Heheh, did that sting you a bit? Don't worry it's going to hurt a lot worse after I leave you dead," Burizalor chortled.
"That's enough out of you, Burizalor!" Houou X called out, firing more Fire Arrow at the white-skinned creature.
Forging a blade from her flames, Houou X swooped down with every intent of slashing Burizalor. Burizalor responded by gracefully dodging her attacks in multiple directions. Houou X hastened her attacks, hoping her Fire Blade could cut and burn the tyrant. Kabuto X hastily dashed forward, utilizing newfound speed to catch up to Burizalor. Shrouding himself in an electrified aura, Kabuto X attempted to crash into Burizalor with his Volt Tackle. Burizalor jumped over Kabuto X, letting him crash into Houou X.
As the two Ascendants recovered, Burizalor pointed his finger and fired a Death Beam at them. Bracing themselves for Burizalor's attacks, Kabuto X used his prodigious speed to pull him and Houou X out of harm's way. Before Burizalor would shoot them again, Keke finished Biomerging with Mothramon, which garnered the tyrant's attention. Burizalor saw WingGundamon flying toward him. Burizalor quickly jumped up, evading WingGundamon. As WingGundamon tossed her Rosemary Discs at him, the tyrant responded with a beam barrage from his index fingers. He quickly wiped out her pink discs with his Death Beam Barrage.
"Is that all? You've got to try harder than-!" Before Burizalor could finish, Houou X dove behind the tyrant and landed a powerfully fire-imbued kick to his back, sending him flying back.
"You should watch your back, Burizalor!" Houou X cried out, surprised at her sneak attack that landed on the creature.
"Nice hit, Sora!" Kabuto X shouted from afar.
"I can tell that was motivated by pure frustration," WingGundamon nodded in approval.
Houou X immediately set her sights on Burizalor, who was quickly beginning to stir. "I'm more frustrated knowing I'll probably never get another hit on him again."
Scowling with anger, Burizalor quickly aimed and unleashed a barrage of beams toward Houou X, who narrowly dodged getting caught in them. WingGundamon and Kabuto X helped clear the way, nullifying Burizalor's blasts. As Houou X quickly moved to one side, she cupped her hands and fired her Phoenix Wave. Putting his hand out to stop Houou X's fiery beam, the tyrant's face contorted with pain, feeling the flames scorching his pristine palms. Kabuto X swiftly fired his Giga Horn Buster, which electrocuted Burizalor's back.
"This is for what happened to us on Spira!" Houou X shouted as she and Kabuto X augmented their attacks, hoping it was enough to finish the Corrupt off for good. They watched Burizalor seemingly struggle.
While putting up his defense, Burizalor formulated an escape strategy, utilizing his telekinetic abilities to pick up and lob stones toward the Ascendants. They quickly blasted the debris but took their eyes off Burizalor, who escaped their attacks. Distancing himself from his adversaries, Burizalor let out a soft chortle.
"Hehe, I must give you credit for making me work a sweat. Yes, I remember fighting these new forms of yours before while I was Apocaly X, but you've grown since then, especially you, two," Burizalor said, eyeing Houou X and Kabuto X. "Both of you were lucky to get hits on me, but don't let that new bravado go to your minuscule heads. This is where my gloves come off!" With that, a golden sheen of light enveloped the tyrant, turning him into Golden Burizalor. "I'm not wasting my time with you three! You're interrupting my downtime!"
"We're not scared of you anymore, Burizalor!" Houou boldly shouted as she, Kabuto X, and WingGundamon counterattacked Golden Burizalor. Dodging all of their attacks, the golden tyrant made short work of their united effort and blasted them away with his Death Wave. "Prolong this any further and you can guarantee an early grave." He said with a delighted smile on his face.
Suddenly, a fiery aura enveloped Houou X, healing her wounds as well as healing Kabuto X and WingGundamon.
"Hmm?" Golden Burizalor noted the three Ascendants immediately standing. "What's this? You can heal yourself and others with your newfound powers?"
Having unlocked this ability during her training, Houou X remembered she couldn't use it often without exhausting her Ki.
"Hm, whatever the case, you can only heal so much until you can't anymore and I know exactly how I deal with healer types," Burizalor said, reminding them about Falcomon's healing abilities. He quickly faced Houou X and launched an attack on her, but WingGundamon and Kabuto X intervened, saving her from the tyrant. "This was amusing at first, but it's now getting annoying!" He blasted WingGundamon away and tail-whipped Kabuto X back. As he set his sights on Houou X, he pointed and prepared to blast her with his Death Beam.
Forging a phoenix-like cloak, Houou X used her fiery defense to nullify Burizalor's attack. However, the power behind Burizalor's beam caused the barrier to explode, knocking Houou X away.
(End theme)
"And history repeats itself!" Golden Burizalor declared, raising a finger as he prepared to shoot her with another Death Beam. "Farewell…!"
"HEY, BURIZALOR!"
Before the tyrant completed his attack, he instinctively turned off his Golden form and faced the direction where the collective voices yelled out. He saw not just Omega X and Metalla X, but AlphaNova X flying at him full speed.
"WHAT?! OH NO!" Burizalor screeched as Omega X and Metalla X flew past him, letting AlphaNova X pounce and pummel the digital tyrant with vicious body blows.
As Omega X collected Houou X, Metalla X grabbed Kabuto X. Gundammon arrived and picked up WingGundamon.
"Sora, are you ok?" Omega X asked. "Did that bastard hurt you?"
"I was holding my own, but he went golden on us. I'm sorry, I tried…" Houou X said, leaning her head into her husband's arms.
"It'll be ok now, but Matt and I have to get going," Omega X said. "We have to go see BanchoLeomon for something."
"But, what about Kenji and Burizalor?" Kabuto X queried.
"Don't worry, Burizalor can play with him for a bit while we're gone, Izzy," Omega X replied.
"We better get moving now. For Burizalor's sake, he better keep that nutjob busy," Metalla X said.
"Don't worry, if he manages to kill Burizalor, I'll step in and take over," Gundammon added. "But, you two need to get moving!"
"Right, grab my hand, Matt," Omega X said, putting his hand out, which Metalla X snatched. Then, using his Instant Movement, he teleported himself and Metalla X to BanchoLeomon's location.
"Wait, Tai! Shoot," Houou sighed.
"What's wrong, Sora?" Kabuto X queried.
"I was going to say I could've healed him and Matt, but never mind."
"Where are they going?" WingGundamon wondered.
"Who knows? But, probably need some Digi-Vitamins since they forgot to bring some," Gundammon stated. "Don't worry. Hopefully, it won't take long."
The group then overheard Burizalor's pained howls from afar. They listened to every punishing punch and blow delivered by AlphaNova X, whose beastly roars shook the area.
"If you ask me, this couldn't have happened to a better jerkoff," Houou X remarked, relishing in Burizalor's beating.
Continent of Server/BanchoLeomon's Training Grounds
Before he even realized it, BanchoLeomon saw Omega X and Metalla X teleporting in front of them.
"Just what in the Digiverse is going on out there?!" BanchoLeomon barked at the two warriors.
"Relax. I'm about to explain," Omega X replied. "Oh before that, do you got any Digi-Vitamins?"
"I have one left. I gave my team a couple after I put them through another bout of rigorous training," BanchoLeomon said, taking out a Digi-Vitamin. He broke it in half and gave the two Ascendants their shares.
"You sure have been putting them through the wringer, BanchoLeomon!" Omega X said, eating his half.
After swallowing and crunching his half, Metalla X pivoted over to Omega X. "So, what now? Our energies have been restored."
"Guess. We're going for Meta-Fusion."
"The dance?"
"Yep, we saw our counterparts perform the Meta-Fusion during our fight against Zeed X. We've practiced…"
"And failed it a few times before we got it right."
Omega X nodded. "Practice makes for improvement after all."
"Let's get this over with," Metalla X said as he and Omega X performed the initial steps, extending their arms out.
(Cue Dragon Ball Super: Broly OST - The Birth of Gogeta!)
Watching the Ascendants perform the Meta-Fusion, BanchoLeomon folded his arms and smirked. "It wasn't long ago Pikkan and I helped T, Davis, Tike, and Davis to perfect this move. Yes, this should turn the tide of the fight around."
"FUSION! HA!"
With that, a bright flash of light exploded and nearly blinded BanchoLeomon. While averting his gaze from the blinding light, BanchoLeomon made out a solitary figure basking in a flaring white aura.
"So, are you Yaichi now or what?" BanchoLeomon queried, awaiting a response from the fused Ascendant.
"Yaichi? Tamato? Taito? Nah, scratch the last one since that name's taken," the fused warrior replied in Tai and Matt's synchronized voices. "I'd go for Taimato since Tamato sounds too close to tomato for my liking. For now, I'll just stick with Kaiser X." As he sensed AlphaNova X's growing power, he put his fingers to his forehead. "Guess I'm heading back. Thanks for the Digi-Vitamins, BanchoLeomon."

Polar Continent
(Cue Dragon Ball Super: Broly OST - Will They Fuse?!)
While Omega X and Metalla X were away, Burizalor took a beating from AlphaNova X. Relentlessly pummeling the digital tyrant, AlphaNova X smashed Burizalor into a rock face. The digital tyrant's face grimaced and contorted in utter agony. Burizalor's pained screams echoed all over the vicinity.
Finally, after growing exhausted from AlphaNova X's beating, Burizalor unleashed a golden aura, which pushed AlphaNova X back. In response to the immediate threat to his life, Burizalor once again donned his golden form.
"How dare you push me and exert myself to use this in a fight! First, Taichi's friends and now you? So be it! I'll teach you a lesson!" Golden Burizalor chastised the Ascendant. "This is Golden Burizalor!" He roared and flew at AlphaNova X, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks at AlphaNova X.
AlphaNova X quickly absorbed all of Golden Burizalor's blows. After a few moments of exchanging blows, AlphaNova X gained the upper hand and punched Golden Burizalor into another rock face. Clenching his fists, Golden Burizalor scowled.
"All right, I'll teach you a lesson!" The golden-schemed tyrant screamed as he absorbed the golden light into his body. Focusing those energies within himself, Burizalor unlocked his Apocaly X form once again. However, this time he modified his appearance to grant him a more mobile form suited for combat. His whole upper body became covered in white and golden chitin-like armor. The purple carapace-like armor on his shoulders, arms, legs, chest, and forehead became shinier than ever. His facial features coupled with his maniacal grin were retained. His tail retained its golden look. The newest features to his upgraded look are six golden angelic wings on opposite sides, accounting for a total of twelve wings. "Now, feast your eyes on my upgraded Apocaly X form. It should grind you to dust!" His voice deepened with his grandiose transformation.
As AlphaNova X went for a dive, Apocaly X quickly flew out of the way and let the burly berserker crash head-first through the rock face. Apocaly X waited for the Ascendant to rise. When AlphaNova X turned around, Apocaly X rushed him head-on and pummeled him with a quick barrage of lightspeed blows. Unable to keep up with Apocaly X, AlphaNova X was quickly pummeled. Then, Apocaly X kicked AlphaNova X into the air and dove up. Catching AlphaNova X, Apocaly X then fell and piledrove AlphaNova X head first through the ground, splitting the earth into two that resulted in a greater fissure that spread.
"That bastard managed to find a way to upgrade himself?!" Gundammon exclaimed. "I need to get in there!"
"Wait, Max! Don't you feel it? They're coming back," Gennai called out to him.
"It's Tai and Dad!" WingGundamon cried out.
"Good," Gundammon sighed with relief.
Witnessing AlphaNova X quickly pulling himself out of the ground, Apocaly X wasted no effort and blasted him with golden rays from his wings. With his beams pushing AlphaNova X away, Apocaly X relentlessly searched for ways to finish his opponent. At that moment, the black armor quickly spread over AlphaNova X, giving him an outward appearance that resembled Alphamon sans the wings and the facial armor. As the armor's energy granted him excess power, AlphaNova X pushed through Apocaly X's beams.
"What?! How can this be?!" Apocaly X blanched at AlphaNova X overcoming his attacks. He quickly forged destructive energies, Apocaly X unleashed reddish pink-like flames that engulfed AlphaNova X. Even the villain's Purgatorial Flame wasn't enough to overcome the berserker, who absorbed the devastating effects of the dangerous flames.
Letting out an unrestrained bellow, AlphaNova X flew at Apocaly X and punched him through another rock face. Feeling the devastating impact of AlphaNova X's blow, Apocaly X lay limp. When AlphaNova X floated over toward the tyrant, Apocaly X's eyes quickly opened as he faked out the berserker and tossed ten multi-colored light spheres. These glowing spheres formed into a cruciform-like shape and fired a destructive ray that pushed AlphaNova X away.
"Kneel before your emperor…" Apocaly X scowled, taking the time to pull himself out of the rock face. He saw AlphaNova X flying away in the opposite direction and smirked connivingly. "Yes, your power is astonishing. I can't let you go unchecked."
(Cue Dragon Ball Super: Broly OST - The World in Danger)
Just then, Kaiser X arrived, catching Apocaly X by surprise. The twelve-winged tyrant scornfully glared at the fused Ascendant, who looked like a perfect merger of Tai and Matt. He predominantly has Tai's tall brown hair with Matt's blonde hair highlighting the sides. He also sported an additional bang hanging from his forehead. He is seen with a black vest with a unique yellow vest, black wristbands, a dark teal belt with the symbol of Crest and Friendship meshed together centered, baggy white pants, and dark shoes with teal wraps.
Frozen in his place, Apocaly X gaped in shock. "Who do you think you are?"
"We are Taichi, Yamato, and their Digimon combined. We are Taimato, or you can call me Kaiser X," smugly replied the fused Ascendant.
"You combined?"
"You were dead a long time so you wouldn't know about this technique. Our strengths aren't just added together, they're significantly magnified."
"You dare call yourself an 'emperor' while I'm still here? How pretentious can you get?!"
"You stay right there, Burizalor. We'll deal with you later after the stunt you pulled on our friends," Kaiser X used Instant Movement and vanished with a warning.
Elsewhere, AlphaNova X unconsciously attacked anything in his way Unfortunately, Gundammon and the others were caught in his wrathful path. Protecting his friends and family, Gundammon fended off AlphaNova X. After blasting AlphaNova X with his Buster Cannon, Gundammon was reaching his critical point. From within Gundammon, Max's hair alternated from his natural color to his Ascendant Blue state.
"Max, we can't keep going like this. I'll be draining you dry at this rate!" Gojiramon's voice reasoned with his partner in the cockpit.
"We have to keep going…"
"He's getting too strong for us, Max!" WingGundamon cried out as Keke also started feeling drained, sacrificing her energy to keep her and Mosuramon's Biomerged state stabilized.
Just then, AlphaNova X turned his sights toward Whismon and flew toward him. Unleashing a blind attack on the angel, Whismon effortlessly dodged AlphaNova X's attacks without blinking.
"Man, he's making this look easy," Houou X muttered.
"Whismon hasn't lifted a finger once!" Kabuto X added.
"Sorry, but I wasn't supposed to be fighting anyone here," Whismon said, stopping AlphaNova X's punch with his staff. "My, you're a strong one."
Before AlphaNova X could punch him, Kaiser X arrived and caused AlphaNova X to stop. Shifting his attention to the fused Ascendant, AlphaNova X scowled intensely.
"Don't worry, we'll take it from here, Whismon," Kaiser X postured into a fighting stance.
"Well, look at that. You two can work together," Whismon said. "But, I suppose Yamakins had to be coerced into agreeing?"
"Nah, he was much cooperative with us," Kaiser X answered. "We're all in this together."
"Our dads finally got Yamakins to agree to a fusion. That's a relief," WingGundamon said.
"That's great," Gundammon muttered. "Now, we can recover."
Upon seeing their friends' complete fusion, Houou X and Kabuto X were astonished. Houou X sensed Omega X's power resonating from the fused Ascendant.
"Prodigious! We're looking at a human version of Omegamon!" Kabuto X exclaimed.
"Tai, Matt," Houou X muttered, smiling from ear to ear.
(End theme)
Flashing a smirk, Kaiser X beckoned AlphaNova X. "Come!" With that, he flew high up into the sky with AlphaNova X pursuing him. As he flew around at fast speeds, Kaiser X evaded an incoming barrage of green blasts lobbed by the frenzied Ascendant.
(Cue Dragon Ball Super: Broly OST - Broly Vs Gogeta)
The two Ascendants flew across several miles of the hellscape environment. All along the way, Kaiser X effortlessly evaded getting tagged by AlphaNova X's green blasts.
"Now, it's our turn!" Kaiser X roared, powering up as a golden sheen of light enveloped him. Upon transforming into his golden-haired Ascendant state, the aura radiating over him formed into Omegamon's shape.
When the two warriors came to blows, they unleashed fisticuffs. Kaiser X landed a few devastating blows, including a powerful uppercut into AlphaNova X's jaw. After being dazed, AlphaNova X shook off the effects and went for a straight punch. Kaiser X gracefully dodged over to AlphaNova X's left side and kneed his chest. Then, Kaiser X kicked the side of AlphaNova X's face and kicked him straight into the ground. The berserker crash-landed hard into the earth, grimacing from the effects of Kaiser X's blows.
Raising his left arm, an aura shaped like MetalGarurumon's head materialized on Kaiser X's limb. The warrior then charged a massive blue sphere and fired his Supreme Cannon at the fallen Ascendant. Making full certain his attack had an effect, he spread his beam and bombarded the area where AlphaNova X lay. Absorbing all of Kaiser X's blasts, AlphaNova X let out a deafening roar and forged a green barrier, nullifying the attacks. AlphaNova X flew out of the heap and reached for Kaiser X. Kaiser X instantly vanished. AlphaNova X quickly followed Kaiser X as the former pursued the latter in instant flashes. The more their fight carried on, AlphaNova X's speeds were beginning to match Kaiser X's.
As they came to a brief standstill, Kaiser X fired his Tsunami Wave at the same time AlphaNova X tossed his Eraser Cannon. As the bluish and green beams collided, they created an after-effect that caused a dimensional tear. Fabric glass shattered, opening a dimensional hole. Kaiser X and AlphaNova X quickly engaged in fisticuffs inside this other mind-bending dimension. Their attacks collided, shaking the dimension. As they collided again, AlphaNova X finally broke from his armored restraints and unleashed a powerful green flare. With his Alphamon-like armor shattering, AlphaNova X emerged with his fully exposed upper body, which had grown thrice his normal build. His spiky crown-shaped hair became a brighter lime green.
As Kaiser X punched him face first, AlphaNova X gut-punched him. The lime green-haired warrior quickly punched Kaiser X back, sending him sailing far back. Kaiser X crashed into a dimensional wall. Unable to break free, Kaiser X found himself pummeled by AlphaNova X, whose punches shattered the dimensional fabric like glass. Having taken enough of his opponent's painful blows, Kaiser X powered up even further and turned into his Ascendant blue state. Kaiser X quickly returned the favor, unleashing quick punches. Dazing AlphaNova X after a few punches, Kaiser X kicked him through a dimensional wall, causing it to shatter into hundreds of pieces.
AlphaNova X rose and expelled a barrage of mouth blasts toward Kaiser X. Swiftly flying around, Kaiser X dodged getting tagged. The two Ascendants then collided head-on, causing the dimensional tear to vanish as the fabric shattered into glass. Upon returning to their world, the two warriors landed and faced off on an arid landscape.
Flashing a smirk, Kaiser X beckoned AlphaNova X to attack him. Letting out an unbridled roar, the green-haired Ascendant charged at him.
"If those two keep on fighting, Kenji and his friend DORUmon are gonna get killed!" Lemomon yelled out while carrying the Digicores with him.
"That damned father of his turned them into that mindless beast! Kenji is just a poor confused kid! I can't let him go on fighting to the death like this!" Cheelaimon cried out, running down the hall inside the mothership. "Hurry! We don't have much time!"
(End theme)
Attempting to blast him with his Eraser Cannon, AlphaNova X narrowly missed and saw Kaiser X sidestepping him. Kaiser X nullified AlphaNova X's blast with a one-handed energy beam. Performing a quick mid-air somersault, Kaiser X kicked AlphaNova X's face, nearly twisting the green-haired Ascendant's neck around. Forming an aura shaped like WarGreymon's head on his right arm, Kaiser X charged at the behemoth. AlphaNova X quickly expelled green blasts from his mouth, unconsciously blasting everything in his path but Kaiser X, who dodged his attacks. Using his Transcendent Sword, Kaiser X slashed forward and canceled AlphaNova X's mouth beam. As the attacks exploded on collision, Kaiser X blasted him with Double Shot. Pummeling him with successive shots, Kaiser X brought AlphaNova X down. The Meta-Fused warrior amassed a prismatic sphere in his hand and tossed it at AlphaNova X. The result was the Stardust Breaker pulverizing the berserker, eliciting pained roars as the attack left him inside an explosive cloud of smoke.
Just then, Kaiser X paused and noticed the sky darkening. He then saw SliferGigaSeadramon appearing in the distance. Everyone else, too, saw the dragon's summoning.
Flabbergasted, Apocaly X gasped. "Oh no… the wish… who would use it?! I was going to wish for a grander army strong enough to help me conquer the Digiverse!"
(Cue Dragon Ball Super: Broly OST - Omen of Battle)
SliferGigaSeadramon hovered over the dark clouds, casting his eyes on unfamiliar faces. He saw Cheelaimon, Lemomon, and Kikonomon standing in front of his divine presence.
He asked in his laid-back tone. "Yo, dudes. Who are you two? You're not the usual dudes who always summons me. And didn't that stupid cat say not to use me anymore?"
"Um, we don't know what you're talking about, oh mighty dragon god," Lemomon said in awe of his presence. At the same time, he kept several Buriza Force troops at bay with his laser pistol.
"Chill with the formalities, old dude. I'm a chill dragon, but you're all newbies. So, I'll cut ya some slack. So, what do you wish for? It just has to be within my power."
With her blaster pointed at Kikonomon's back, Cheelaimon scowled. "Ok, what do we say next? On with it!" When Kikono hesitated, she warned him with a trigger pull. "I mean it!"
"Ok, ok! Don't shoot! I'll tell you! I'll tell you! This paper says 'Just say the wish as is'!"
"That's all? That's way too simple," Cheelaimon muttered. "Ok, listen up, dragon!"
"Lady, my name is SliferGigaSeadramon. Man, y'all aren't from this world, huh?"
(End theme)
Recovering from Kaiser X's previous attack that should've finished him, AlphaNova X rose and gathered more reserves of his raw power. Shrouded in a lime green aura shaped like Alphamon, AlphaNova X let out a monstrous bellow that shook the vicinity. For a moment, the Alphamon aura faced off with Kaiser X's blue Omegamon-shaped aura. He quickly lunged forward and clashed with Kaiser X again in a final duel.
(Cue Dragon Ball Super: Broly OST - Full-Force Kamehameha)
Kaiser X jumped over the green-haired behemoth, hitting him with consecutive kicks. The first one was blocked. The second connected with AlphaNova X's face and sent him sailing back. AlphaNova X tossed another Eraser Cannon. However, Kaiser X anticipated it and sidestepped the beam, sliding across it with his hands. Gliding over the green beam, Kaiser X quickly punched AlphaNova X's forehead. The berserker lobbed a barrage of beams at Kaiser X, who casually flew past them. Kaiser X pummeled him with lightspeed punches and kicks, once again sending him flying far back. It came to a point where AlphaNova X could no longer counter and was left open to Kaiser X's body shots. Following a Ki-powered punch, Kaiser X brought AlphaNova X down. When AlphaNova X rose to fight more, Kaiser X prepared another Supreme Cannon, but AlphaNova X waved his hand and sliced the air, canceling the blast. This resulted in the ground crumbling and exploding under them.
After gut-punching him three more times, Kaiser X stunned AlphaNova X. Then, after the third punch, Kaiser X amassed his Ki over AlphaNova X and kicked him into the air. The blue-haired Ascendant raised his arms and crossed them, triggering the Ki within AlphaNova X's body to detonate in a calamitous explosion. Through his actions and even sensing AlphaNova X's hopelessness, Kaiser X had become a bane of justice, looking to destroy the threat to his world.
"Holy shit, our dads went crazy overboard!" WingGundamon cried out.
"Can this end already?" Kabuto X wondered.
"This isn't even a fight anymore. It's a massacre," Houou X cried out. "Tai! Matt! That's enough!"
"Magnificent, this might bring the fight to a close," Whismon observed as he and the others saw Kaiser X posturing to bring the fight to a finish.
"You've got this, Kaiser X. Do what your heart tells you," Gundammon nodded.
Gathering blue Ki into his hands, Kaiser X amassed enough to forge a Tsunami Wave that was greater than ever before: the Limit Ultra Tsunami Wave. Standing up, AlphaNova X saw Kaiser X preparing to blast him into oblivion. With his body wrecked, AlphaNova X found himself unable to move and defend himself.
He was at the fused Ascendant's mercy.
Finally, Kaiser X fired his destructive beam as it hurtled closer toward AlphaNova X. The berserker's eyes widened in horror as his life flashed before him, starting from his birth to meeting Cheelaimon to fighting the Ascendants. When the beam came closer, he shut his eyes.
Cheelaimon screamed. "Send Kenji and DORUmon back to the world where they grew up! Send them back please!"
Once her wish was made, AlphaNova X vanished into thin air and the beam went soaring into the sky. Kaiser X blinked when he saw AlphaNova X was gone.

Digiverse/Planet Vampa
Before they even realized what happened, Kenji and DORUmon found themselves back in the familiar world they grew up in. They weren't sure what had happened but assumed they had died. They gained their bearings and scanned their environment.
"We're… back home?" DORUmon blinked in confusion. "Kenji, how did this happen? I thought we were gonna die!"
Kenji was left speechless and equally confused as his partner.
Digital World/Polar Continent
"Welp, your wish has been granted. Sorry, I wish I could grant more but I'm temporarily been asked to keep wishes limited to one. Blame that stupid cat for the suggestion. Anyway, you two ain't so bad. Later, dudes!" SliferGigaSeadramon said as he vanished and the four Digicores quickly scattered across the Digital World.
Everyone watched the Digicores fly away across opposite directions. Kaiser X powered down his attack and smirked.
"Quick, Cheelaimon! Let's get out of here!" Lemomon called out from a speaker from his ship.
With that, Cheelaimon ran over and hopped inside his ship. "Laters!"
As their ship escaped, Gundammon and the others hurried over to meet with Kaiser X. While getting caught up in their praise, Kaiser X caught Apocaly X pointing his finger at Lemomon's ship. Catching wind of the tyrant's attempt to take out the ship, Kaiser X quickly ran up and kneed Apocaly X's face, knocking him away.
"Augh… you bastard!" Apocaly X cursed the fused Ascendant.
Collapsing in a heap, Apocaly X turned back into Golden Burizalor. His face contorted with dismay as Kaiser X ran toward him.
"Don't think I didn't forget what you tried to do to my friends! Eat this!" Kaiser X chastised Burizalor, preparing to finish him with a Tsunami Wave.
Recalling the wrist device he put on, Golden Burizalor pushed him, allowing him to narrowly escape with his life. Powering down his attack, Kaiser X tried sensing Golden Burizalor's presence.
"That conniving bastard got away! Damn!" Keke angrily cursed.
"He's suppressed his Ki so we can't even find him now. He had some device that let him teleport," Max stated.
"He won't be lucky next time, right, Tai? Matt? Um, Yaichi? Taimato?" Sora queried, eliciting a chuckle from the fused Ascendant.
"Don't worry. Next time, he won't be so lucky," Kaiser X said as a calm smile smeared across his face. "First things first, we've got to find Kenji."
"He could be anywhere in the Digiverse," Izzy said.
"Don't worry. I can help him out with that," Max said.
"Thanks, Max," Kaiser X openly acknowledged.
When he found Brakus' body, Gennai checked his pulse and nodded. The others arrived and watched him carrying Brakus.
"Rest easy, General Brakus. My old friend," Gennai muttered, paying respect to his superior.
"Where are you taking his body?" Kaiser X Gennai.
"I'm going to bury him on my training grounds. It's the least I can do."
"Without Brakus around, who's going to look after Kenji now?" wondered Sora.
"Good question," Biyomon said.
"Let's hope he stays away," Tentomon added.
"But, he was just manipulated by that old guy and Burizalor," Gojiramon elaborated.
"Sure, but he damaged this whole area. It'll be a while before this sector of the frozen land reformats to the way it was before that big fight," Izzy stated.
Smirking, Kaiser X addressed the situation. "Maybe I… well, the Tai part of me should go pay him a visit."
"You think you can convince him to side with us?" Max asked him.
"Only one way to find out."
Digiverse/Planet Cretaceous
Finding himself on a dinosaur and Kaiju Digimon-filled planet, Burizalor let out a deep sigh of relief. Had another second gone by, he would've been obliterated by Kaiser X's attacks. He kissed his new wrist device and relaxed knowing he'd live to fight another day.
"This device certainly came in handy. Kikonomon, you were wise to suggest this."
Suddenly, a crackling voice came from the wrist, which also doubled as a communicator. "Lord Burizalor, are you there? This is Beribulumon speaking. Can you hear me?"
"Yes, Beribulumon I'm alive. I've teleported off to another world."
"We left that Digital World and are on our way to find you."
"Judging by the native fauna of the world I'm on, this appears to be Planet Cretaceous," the digital tyrant verified, eyeing a group of Tyrannomon defending their territory from a bigger carnivorous dinosaur with grayish green scales, tiny three-clawed arms, and abnormally large jaws. "I'll send you the coordinates as to where I am. Once we rendezvous, we can discuss our next plans."
"Very well, air. We'll rendezvous with you as soon as possible!" With that, the communication ended there and Burizalor sat on a rock, waiting patiently for his ride. "Oh screw this, I could just leave this primitive world and meet them there." He watched the dinosaur Digimon ferociously fighting over territory. "If I'm not mistaken, that giant beast is the infamous VastatoRexmon, the top alpha predator of this planet."
Just then, a massive brown ape wielding a giant club axe and standing roughly as tall as the VastatoRexmon. The gorilla roared and pounded his chest, scaring away the Tyrannomon, but the VastatoRexmon faced its eternal rival and bellowed at the giant gorilla. As the two rivals circled and sized each other up, Burizalor cracked a big smile. "Heheh, look. It's the legendary Lord Kongmon of Planet Cretaceous. I swear I just can't escape you simians. Apes, humans, and Ascendants, you're all the same to me. I can never get away from you. Such is my life." Sweeping his tail, he split a nearby rock in two effortlessly. "Taichi and Yamato, you got one over me with that surprise fusion form, but next time, I'll be back and you'll be humbled before me. I will come back for your Earth and Digital World one day. Mark my words."
Far off within the Digiverse
Having gotten a head start, Lemomon and Cheelaimon escaped their now ex-boss's vengeful wrath and fled far off into deep space. Steering wildly, Lemomon navigated his ship through a small asteroid belt.
"Sorry for what happened, Lemomon. I didn't mean to get you mixed up in all that trouble."
"Don't worry about it. That was the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me since I joined the Burize Forces!"
"Do you think they'll come after us?"
"It's hard to say," Lemomon steered the ship, veering past a few meteor rocks. "Where are you planning to go now, Cheelaimon?"
She quickly responded with a bright smile. "Back to Kenji's world!"
"Vampa, eh?"
"I could always drop you off somewhere along the way, Lemomon."
"Nah, I'll just tag along. It's risky no matter where I go. My mind is at ease knowing Kenji and his little Digimon buddy can protect us."
"If that's the case, we should stop somewhere and pick up some food and supplies along the way!"
Three days later.
Burizalor's Spaceship
(Cue Dragon Ball Super: Broly OST - Freeza's Ambition)
"Sure enough, my lord. Those two traitors are with Kenji," Kikonomon verified.
"Then, let us leave them alone for a little while," Burizalor responded calmly. "We'll allow them to domesticate that brute and his partner to bring them under control. In the best-case scenario, they can make sure Kenji and DORUmon don't lose control. Once they're under control, that's when they'll combine their powers and become my mightiest warrior."
"Do you believe that will work?" Kikonomon queried his leader.
"I certainly hope that it does for all of our sakes. No matter how much I try to raise my battle power, my greatest foes are still Taichi Kamiya and Yamato Ishida. Since Zeed X is gone, I'd like to have someone who could destroy them with me." With that, the tyrant cackled maniacally.
(End theme)
Next chapter: Settling Differences
A/N: And that wraps up the big fight with Kenji/AlphaNova X. It plays out exactly like the Broly movie, except I remove the redundant fusion failure bits and the dumb part where 'Gogeta not killing Freeza when the chance presented itself' (though, Burizalor did manage to escape with that handy teleporter).
To freshen things up, I've expanded Burizalor's role and had him fight the others. This was a chance for Sora/Houou X and Izzy/Kabuto X to attempt to avenge their deaths back on Planet Spira. They also got a chance to show off their moves and even Keke lent them support. All in naught because of the tyrant's golden mode.
Heh, Ascendant bargain sale? Gold does come cheap nowadays! Sad to say.
Oh, and speaking of modes, Burizalor unlocked a modified Apocaly X form. So, instead of being stuck with a less mobile Apocalymon-like form, he achieved a form akin to Lucemon X's. This contrasts Burizalor's 100 percent form, which had him spotting devilish wings. He is a 'personification of evil' of the Digiverse!
But, even a devil couldn't stand up to a rage-filled berserker. So Kaiser X returns and he kicks some ass. Enough said about that.
VastatoRexmon and Lord Kongmon are Planet Cretaceous' greatest rivals. They both have the battle scars to prove it. They've been fighting for ages and will continue to do so until one remains standing. Lord Kongmon has beaten a ton of carnosaurs but VastatoRexmon is no ordinary dino. Who do you bet on to win?
Next chapter wraps this arc up and it'll be short. See you readers then.
