Keeping their protective barriers around the group, the heroes and heroines within the barriers soon saw the darkness around them had faded away.
Releasing the protection around their friends and taking in the sights around them, the heroes and heroines looked over to see they were no longer within the ruins of the throne room, but they now found themselves now standing upon a large platform, one that seemed to be at the centre of a massive metropolis.
Seeing that the city seemed to stretch well beyond the horizon, MagnaVeedramon and the others thought for a moment that, due to the architecture of the building around them, they were back within the Dark Tribe's capital.
But upon closer examination, the Digimon of Miracles as his friends realized that this city was something else, seeing the Dark Lady's citadel, fully rebuilt, floating in the sky not to far from their location, before the heroes and heroines saw another site that unnerved them, dozens of statues of Davis, or to be more precise, the fallen Davis, which adorned the dark armour his ghost spirit wore in his final battle against MagnaVeedramon, only with his helmet resting under his left arm as the statues depicted a more regal look to the fallen counterpart of the Digidestined of Miracles.
From the council chambers within Mt. Brocken and after finally locating his friends, Arcanadramon was able to protect the imagery of the heroes and heroines to the Tribal Leaders, who remained just as perplexed as the Mystic Digimon as to where the Dark Lady had brought their champions.
Meanwhile and still within the ruins of the citadel's throne room, Ritchikuinmon held a small sphere within her hand, which projected the same imagery and allowed herself, DarkKishimon and Kumichomon to watch the events unfold.
"This is what you stole, this is what you took away!" The Dark Lady's voice bellowed furiously, her declaration causing the heroes and heroines to turn and see the echo of the fallen Kamiya looking down upon them from one of the taller buildings, her arms stretched out as she surveyed the dark world around her.
"This… this is what I wanted, what I tried to build, a new utopia that he would have ruled over and protected, a world that would have loved, worshipped and respected him… and you all took that from him… from me!" The echo of the Dark Lady then declared with a further disdain within her voice as she glared down upon the heroes and heroines, before she then took a step forward.
In the blink of an eye, the world around MagnaVeedramon and his friends seemed to shift, the Dark Lady disappeared from the spire and now stood a few feet from the group.
Continuing to approach her foes as though nothing had happened, many amongst the heroes and heroines remained with a shared sense of unease as they finally realized where they were.
"This is all an illusion, a pocket dimension, a world made from her dreams and desires." Sagemon told his friends as most nodded in understanding.
Keeping their guard up as they realized their new environment could change on the whims of their foe, but stepping forward, MagnaVeedramon looked upon the Dark Lady as he began to speak with her.
"It wasn't meant to be, Kari. There was too much working against, not just us or the other Tribes, but…" He said, remaining with a calmness in his tone of voice, but found the Dark Lady's vengeful nature ceased his ramblings.
"I don't care for your lies or your excuses!" The fallen Kamiya declared as she brought her right hand up, her dark energy scythe reappearing once again within her hand as she swung it and told those before her with a growing malice within her voice. "You took the only thing that mattered from me, you took the only one I have ever loved away! I will make you all suffer before I kill you, then I will hunt down everyone you have ever cared for and make them suffer as well! I will burn this world and yours until there is nothing but ashes left in my wake."
Knowing now that their foe would not, or could she be reasoned with, the heroes and heroines each prepared to fight, with Thomas holding a serious expression as he moved next to MagnaVeedramon and told the fallen Kamiya. "You can't win, Kari. Even you can see the numbers are strongly against you."
Indeed, in the mind of the DATS genius, the odds were in their favour, with thirty one against one, odds that left many amongst those newer to Witchelny feeling a little more confident.
For those who had fought against the Dark Lady in the past, however, the odds didn't matter as much, for each knew that numbers alone were not enough to battle the enemy they all now faced.
"Actually, Thomas, they aren't." The Dark Lady merely said in reply as she looked upon the blond haired DATS officer, before, much to the group's concern, the echo of the fallen Kamiya's shadow then began to grow and spread, stopping just a few inches from where MagnaVeedramon and Thomas stood.
Just as quickly as the shadow spread did it then change, shocking the heroes and heroines as thirty copies of the Dark Lady quickly surrounded them, their appearance now matching the number of those standing against the fallen Digidestined.
"You just had to say something!" ShadowKitsunemon screamed in pure fear and frustration toward Thomas, who remained with a dumbfounded and confused expression upon his face.
"I wasn't aware she could do such a thing." The DATS genius remarked in reply as he turned to look upon MagnaVeedramon, who merely stared at what he believed was the original echo of the Dark Lady with a continued sense of determination within his eyes.
"Neither did we, but that doesn't matter for now." The Holy Knight Digimon merely told his friends, extending his wrist energy blades as he then told the rest of the group with a growing seriousness. "Don't underestimate her and keep your guard up until we can figure out how to take them all down!"
Though nervous, the heroes and heroines shared a renewed sense of determination, just as those who had fought the Dark Lady in the past moved forward to combat the copies of their enemy that were sent against them, while those newer to Witchelny stood their ground as the remaining duplicates came rushing toward them with their dark energy scythes in hand.
"Magna Saber!" MagnaVeedramon bellowed as he rushed toward the one he believed was the original echo of the Dark Lady, who brought her dark energy scythe up and blocked the strike from the Holy Knight Digimon, easily parrying his blow as the pair began their battle, dodging and moving to end the other quickly.
No words were exchanged between the pair, though their fight now was much different from their battles of the past, with one seeing her foe as a reminder of her failures now, along with what she had now lost forever, while the other felt sorrow to see what the pain this version of the one he loved felt had turned her into.
"Striking Light!" Lightbearer Ophanimon declared as her blade was illuminated within an intense light, before she rushed forward and met the strike of the Dark Lady copy that was aiming for her.
Their weapons clashing as sparks of dark and light energies surged around them, Lightbearer Ophanimon and the Dark Lady remained heated within their conflict.
"Were you… were you the one who took him from me?!" The Dark Lady then questioned as she continued to clash her blade with her foe's, while Lightbearer Ophanimon remained with a continued seriousness within her expression.
"No, I ended you." The Digimon of Light said in reply as she parried another fearsome strike from the Dark Lady's scythe.
Pushing her fallen counterpart back, Lightbringer Ophanimon then told the Dark Lady. "Even if I could have aided in that battle, I know in my heart I would not have been able to end him, just as I know you will not be able to kill MagnaVeedramon, no matter how much seeing him hurts you."
"No… NO! I will make him suffer… I will make you all suffer!" The echo of the fallen Kamiya screamed toward her counterpart.
Bringing her wings out and creating several spheres of darkness, the fallen Kamiya then unleashed the spheres as a series of dark energy blasts against the Digimon of Light.
"Divine Calling!" Lightbearer Ophanimon declared in retaliation as the rings of light formed around her being and were then cast against the Dark Lady's attacks.
Countering the Dark Lady's attacks, the fusion of Kari and Gatomon then moved as the fallen Kamiya rushed through the smoke cloud created from their combined attacks, the pair resulting in clashing blades once again as they resumed their battle from years ago.
"Cross Slicer!"
"Final Crest!"
"Inferno Wing!"
"Full Spirit Wave!"
"Crimson Force!"
"Wind Blades!"
"Corona Dash!"
"Thorn Saber!"
"Victory Slasher!"
"Star Shine Dive!"
"Skydive Force!"
"Sage Cutter!"
"Savage Slash!"
"Rhythmic Stream!"
Engaged within their own battles, the rest of the original heroes and heroines to Witchelny clashed against the copies of the Dark Lady currently engaging them, with Jeri using a pair of mystical energy blades to parry the strikes from her foe's scythe.
All the while, the clones of the fallen Kamiya easily dodged and parried the attacks of their enemies, the dark echoes continuing their assault as they tried to force their old foes to their knees.
As all continued within their struggle against the Dark Lady, those who had fought her in the past realized with each blow they blocked or parried that the copies of the fallen Kamiya weren't as powerful as the original, but remained highly dangerous.
To this observation, it was evident the Dark Lady had spread her power amongst her copies, a situation that left each of them wondering how they could use such a move to their advantage.
For those heroes and heroines who had never faced the Dark Lady until today, however, the battle was most dire as each of those newer to Witchelny now found themselves face to face with the foe who had mentally scarred their friends in the past.
Now standing before one of the copies of the Dark Lady, Zetsubomon tightened his fists as the shadowy double of the fallen Kamiya slowly approached him, her head tilted as though briefly studying him.
"I don't care if you are another version of Kari, I won't let you harm my friends!" The Dark Digimon of Hope declared as his dark energy coursed through his arms, where Zetsubomon watched as the clone of the Dark Lady came to a halt, this causing the fusion of TK and Patamon to wonder if his threat got through to her.
However, that hope was quickly dashed as the echo of the fallen Kamiya then threw her head back and expelled a loud and insane laugh, as though she had just heard the biggest joke in the world, before looking back upon Zetsubomon with narrowed eyes.
"Oh, this is rich! The whiny little crybaby, the so-called champion of light and enemy of the darkness, now a warrior of that very same darkness!" The Dark Lady said with a mocking tone of voice, one that caused Zetsubomon to clench his fists further and in rage.
Continuing to taunt her opponent, the fallen Kamiya then told her foe. "Don't worry, TK, I'll end your miserable existence quickly!"
"Shadow Lash!" The Dark Digimon of Hope declared in retaliation.
Bringing forth his dark energy whips as he moved to strike at the copy of the fallen Kamiya, the shadow projection easily dodged the strikes and eventually moved to attack her foe.
"Weak, worthless, unable to do what is necessary when the time was needed, nothing like Davis! You were always a fool to think I would ever have loved you!" The Dark Lady continued to taunt, before delivering a swift kick to Zetsubomon's chest, the attack sending the Digimon of Hope crashing to the ground below and causing a small crater to form from the devastating impact.
Growling as he strained to pull himself up and ignoring the pain coursing through his body as he saw his right hand flicker from the damage for a moment, the fusion of TK and Patamon now understood MagnaVeedramon and the others' warning of how the Dark Lady knew them and would use that knowledge against them.
While taking in this knowledge, Zetsubomon found he had no time to react as he quickly rolled out of the way, just in time to avoid the Dark Lady's heel as she slammed into the ground where he had just fallen.
Further shattering the ground from her intense power, the echo of the fallen Kamiya then lunged toward her foe, her relentlessness forcing Zetsubomon on the defensive as he rushed into the air and dodged the strikes from the corrupted Digidestined of Light.
Seeing Zetsubomon in danger, KnightRosemon was about to rush to her beloved's aid, but stopped as the Dark Lady clone she was facing moved before her.
"Je n'aurais pas encore si hâte de mourir, Catherine, je te le promets, toi et TK mourrez tous les deux dans les bras l'un de l'autre." The Fallen Kamiya told her enemy in perfect French, the promise and the threat behind the words sending the knightly Digimon into desperation as she desired to take her enemy down and get to Zetsubomon's side.
"Rose Saber!" KnightRosemon declared with a beaming might within her voice as she rushed toward the copy of the Dark Lady.
Using her increased speed to try and strike at her foe quickly, KnightRosemon found her frustration only growing as the echo of the Fallen Kamiya dodged her strikes with ease.
Moving back quickly but refusing to give up, KnightRosemon then gathered energy within her blade as she swept her weapon forward and announced with a growing might in her voice. "Gift of the Rose!"
Sending forth the shockwave of nature energy, the fusion of Catherine and Floramon was then left in shock as the echo of the Dark Lady merely swung her blade and cut through the energy, dispelling it instantly.
Rushing forth and toward her foe, the shadowy projection forced KnightRosemon on the defensive, who fled from her enemy as she felt a great fear consuming her, not just for own safety, but for the wellbeing of TK, Patamon and her friends.
Not too far from KnightRosemon's battle, ArcaneRafflesimon held a look of uncertainty as one of the clones of the Dark Lady floated before her, the fallen Kamiya holding a cold and maleficent stare upon the Digimon of Sincerity as she held her scythe within her grasp.
"Kari… please, I know you are in pain, but let us help you. Davis would have never wanted…" The fusion of Mimi and Palmon began to speak empathetically.
Desiring to reach the kind and sweet girl she believed was still buried deep within this dark being before, a girl who was in deep, deep pain, ArcaneRafflesimon found her words caught in her throat as the echo of the Dark Lady gripped her scythe tighter, while a dark and wicked aura formed around her.
"I won't be lectured by a vain, airheaded bimbo who can't even tell her feelings to a damn introvert! If you want to stand in my way, Mimi, then I'll break you and let you watch Izzy die before I make your last moments in this life a living hell!" The fallen Kamiya then declared with anger and annoyance within her voice.
Watching as the Dark Lady brought her left hand out and cast forth a series of dark flames toward the Digimon of Sincerity, ArcanRafflesimon was quickly forced to protect herself from the overwhelming assault.
"Petal Dance!" ArcaneRafflesimon exclaimed in defence as she quickly moved about the air.
Dodging and kicking the flames away from her through her graceful movements, the Digimon of Sincerity felt the immense darkness of the Dark Lady growing behind her.
Turning to see her foe behind her and about to attack, the fusion of Mimi and Palmon quickly brought her hands together and announced in retaliation. "Rose Blaster!"
Unleashing a barrage of nature based energy blasts towards the clone of the fallen Kamiya, ArcaneRafflesimon did her best to dodge and avoid the blade of the Dark Lady's scythe, the Digimon of Sincerity doing all she could not only to survive, but to also ignore the hate filled words of the fallen version of the Digidestined of Light.
On the ground below and conflicting with his own opponent, BlitzKabuterimon remained on guard as he looked down upon the copy of the Dark Lady that was facing him.
Watching with caution as the shadowy being floated into the air so that she was eye level with the massive insectoid Digimon, BlitzKabuterimon knew any miscalculations within their conflict could result in their demise.
"Ah, the little boy who never got to know his real parents. Don't worry Izzy, I'll send you to meet them!" The Dark Lady remarked, her tone of hatred and cruelty.
Drawing her right hand up and allowing dark energy to quickly gather within her palm, the Dark Lady cast her attack outward with a powerful blast.
Ignoring the Dark Lady's remarks and remaining focused, the Digimon of Knowledge defended himself.
Gathering lightning within his horn, he declared with his own rebellious might. "Hyper Horn Buster!"
Unleashing his attack, the fusion of Izzy and Tentomon placed all their might into the blast as it collided with the Dark Lady's attack, with BlitzKabuterimon finding himself struggling to hold back the immense darkness as the fallen Kamiya's ability seemed to overpower his own.
"Thunder Blaze!" The Digimon of Knowledge then exclaimed as he unleashed a further electrical blast from his staves and added the thunderous energy into the power of his main attack, seemingly pushing back the Dark Lady's malevolent energy for a moment.
To the dismay of BlitzKabuterimon, the power of the fallen Kamiya, even as a copy, was far greater than he anticipated.
Her darkness quickly pushed through his electricity and sent the Digimon of Knowledge flying into the air with a pain filled cry, where the massive Digimon fought through his pain as he saw his foe rush into the sky after him.
However, the fusion of Izzy and Tentomon refused to just back down, not when those he cared about remained in danger.
"Sacred Blade!" GrandDominimon bellowed his wrist blade clashed against the weapon of the Dark Lady's copy.
Straining against the superior might of his foe, the Digimon of Knowledge and Reliability did all he could to repel the Dark Lady and her great power.
"Don't let the dead rule your life, Kari… live in their honour instead of in regret!" The fusion of Cody and Armadillomon said in desperation as he was then pushed back from the force of the Dark Lady's might.
Suddenly, GrandDominimon felt a tightness around his throat as the fallen Kamiya held him over her head.
"Says the boy living in the shadow of his dead father." The Dark Lady commented with a further hatred in her voice.
Tossing GrandDominimon aside, the Digimon of Knowledge and Reliability slammed into the floor with a powerful crash.
Groaning as he tried to pull himself up, GrandDominimon turned his gaze upward as the echo of the Dark Lady floated down toward him.
Glaring at GrandDominimon, the fallen Kamiya then questioned with a continuous condescending tone of voice. "Have you ever made any choice in your life that wasn't to appease him? Have you ever thought of doing anything without thinking of what your father would have thought? Your life has been nothing more than the direction of a man you barely knew! It'll be better off if I just end your miserable existence right here and now!"
Spreading her wings out and continuing her onslaught, GrandDominimon watched as several spheres of darkness formed around the Dark Lady, which then released themselves as a series of dark energy blasts toward the Digimon of Knowledge and Reliability.
"Seraph's Wing!" GrandDominimon announced in retaliation.
Spreading his own wings out and casting forth a series of light based energy blasts, GrandDominimon did what he could to combat the assault upon him, while ignoring the further mental torment administered of the fallen Digidestined of Light.
Sensing danger, however, the fusion of Cody and Armadillomon quickly moved away as the echo of the Dark Lady then rushed at him, forcing GrandDominimon on the defensive as he tried to find a way to best his foe and aid his friends in their battles.
"Arcane Blaster!" ArcaneAndromon bellowed from his own battle as he fired shot after shot of energy blast against the Dark Lady duplicate slowly walking toward him.
Despite his great power, the shadowy being merely deflected ArcaneAndromon's blasts with her scythe, the sight bringing a great fear within the fusion of Kazu and Guardromon.
Having already experienced the power of his foe and seeing his life flash before his eyes, as well the harsh comments the Dark Lady made about him beforehand, ArcaneAndromon needed no further proof of the danger he was in as he tried to muster the courage to truly fight back, while the echo of the fallen Kamiya relished in his fear as she decided to torture him before ending his existence.
"Rapid Surge!"
"Lupine Cutter!"
Working together, ShaolinGargomon and KendoAntylamon did their best to dodge the assault of the two copies of the Dark Lady combating them, while doing their best as to try and land their own strikes upon their foes.
"You cannot protect Suzie from me, Henry…" One of the Dark Lady's copies then said with a further malevolence within her voice, before the second duplicate of the fallen Kamiya then taunted her foes. "She will burn and you will watch her scream before you die!"
Ignoring the cruel words of the Dark Lady, as well as their own growing fears, the fusion of Henry and Terriermon, alongside the fusion of Suzie and Lopmon, remained focused as they continued to battle their foes and return to aid their friends against this terrible enemy.
Not too far off, EclipseRhihimon and FrostKrigermon held their guards as two of the Dark Lady's shadowed duplicates circled around them like sharks ready to attack their prey, their dark energy scythes in hand as they glared upon the Warriors of Darkness and of Ice.
"Out of everyone here, I think I hold the least against either of you, especially you, Koichi, you of all people know what it is like to be one with the darkness." One of the fallen Kamiya's clones then said, before the other added with a growing seriousness within her voice. "Stand down and I promise you won't die… at least not for a while."
"Thanks, but no thanks! We're not going to sit back while Takuya and Zoe are in danger because of you!" FrostKrigermon declared as he held his axes up, his determination shared by EclipseRhihimon as the Warrior of Darkness held his sword up, ready to fight alongside his friends against their current foe.
"Then die!" The copies of the Dark Lady declared as they quickly rushed toward their foes, the speed of their attacks forcing Tommy and Koichi to quickly react.
"Frozen Slasher!"
"Night Blade!"
Dodging and parrying the attacks as best as they could, FrostKrigermon and EclipseRhihimon fought against the duplicates of the fallen Kamiya.
Ignoring their own concerns as they focused on battling their enemy, FrostKrigermon and EclipseRhihimon remained determined by the thought of their friends, to stop their current opponents and to once again fight alongside their allies.
"Crescent Blades!" Thomas bellowed as he clashed his gauntlet blades against the dark energy scythe of the Dark Lady clone battling him.
Despite his foe being a copy of the Dark Lady, the DATS genius found the duplicate was indeed stronger than he had anticipated.
As he used his blades to block a strike from the Dark Lady, Thomas groaned as he saw the fallen Kamiya's face move closer toward his own.
"Don't worry, Thomas, I'll let you live long enough to watch Relena die screaming and begging for her life as she suffers!" She told her enemy with a dark delight.
To hearing the fallen Digidestined of Light threatening his sister of all people, Thomas felt himself losing his calm and logistical side, but with Gaomon's presence within his armour, this kept Thomas from acting rash upon the battlefield.
Jumping back but remaining ready for battle, Thomas then bellowed with a growing rage within his voice. "Galeforce Whirlwind!"
Moving at heightened speeds, Thomas hoped to catch his foe off guard as he moved to strike, only to growl as he found the duplicate of the fallen Kamiya to be just as fast, easily dodging and parrying his attacks.
But maintaining his focus, Thomas remained determined to stop the Dark Lady, not just for his sake, or the sake of his friends, but also for the sake of those that would be caught within the fallen Kamiya's warped vengeance.
"Mantis Blades!"
"Dark Kitsune Claw!"
Working together, Torikkusutumon and ShadowKitsunemon used their ninja-like speeds to try and take down the clones of the Dark Lady pitted against them, but like the rest of their friends and allies, the pair found the copies of the fallen Kamiya could keep up with the speed of their attacks.
"Is this a game for you, Yuu? Do you think no one's going to get hurt?" One of the shadowy beings taunted as her blades clashed against the fusion of Yuu and Damemon, her words causing the ninja-like Digimon to growl as his foe used his old mindset against him in psychological warfare.
"You leave him alone, you damn hag!" ShadowKitsunemon bellowed furiously.
Jumping back from the clone she was battling and deciding to end the battle quickly, ShadowKitsunemon then declared with an even greater might. "Shadow Thunder!"
"No, wait!" Torikkusutumon cried in concern, hoping to stop the fusion of Airu and Opossumon from making a big mistake.
Too late, however, Torikkusutumon could only watch as ShadowKitsunemon was consumed in dark lightning, forming the massive vixen-like beast she turned into during the invasion of Mt. Brocken where, just like the same battle, the fusion of Airu and Opossumon lost all control of herself and lunged toward the two duplicates of the Dark Lady, ready to end their existence quickly and painfully.
However, and much to Torikkusutumon shock, the two shadowy beings merely brought their free hands up and grabbed the dark lightning vixen by the face, not only seemingly unfazed by the massive power thrown at them, but overpowering it as the clones of the fallen Kamiya worked together, lifting the massive energy being over their heads and slamming it into the ground behind them, creating a massive crater in the process, before they swung the beast around and threw it toward the fusion of Yuu and Damemon.
Though shocked by this change of events, Torikkusutumon then saw the lightning beast revert to ShadowKitsunemon, where the ninja-like Digimon caught the fusion of Airu and Opossumon, who groaned from the pain she felt as she tried to figure out what had just happened.
"Weak, useless and an annoyance, that is you have and will ever be, Airu!" Both copies of the Dark Lady declared with spite in their voices as they moved to attack both Torikkusutumon and ShadowKitsunemon, who quickly moved backward as they tried to figure out a way to deal with their current situation.
"Sabre Strike!" ArcaneRevivemon declared as he swung his spear down to strike at the dark copy of the fallen Kamiya he was fighting, but found himself growling with frustration as, despite his larger size, the Dark Lady was more than able to hold him back, reminding the fusion of Rei and Hackmon more and more of the warnings his friends gave him beforehand.
"Stay out of my way, Rei, or I promise that Hajime will die screaming!" The shadowy being declared as she pushed the larger draconic Digimon back, with ArcaneRevivemon stumbling back a few feet, before he looked to see the Dark Lady's free hand lifted into the air as dark energy gathered within her grasp.
Ignoring the threat made against Hajime, the fusion of Rei and Hackmon acted quickly as he gathered energy within both his mouths, before bellowing with a great might in his voice. "Saver Blast!"
Sending the blast outward, ArcaneRevivemon hoped to halt the Dark Lady's assault, only to be shocked as the shadowy duplicate threw the sphere of darkness at him, the energy consuming his attack and crashing into the ground, sending ArcaneRevivemon flying backwards with a cry of pain.
Steadying himself in the air and before he could crash, however, the fusion of Rei and Hackmon looked upon his shadowy foe with narrowed eyes, refusing to back down, not while he still could draw breath.
As the battles raged across the platform within the illusionary world, the Dark Lady, within her shared mindset, continued to grow more and more frustrated, her rage consuming her even more as she thought about her Davis, about the man she loved and worked so hard to save and about he was now gone forever, all thanks to those who now stood before her.
"ENOUGH!" The fallen Kamiya fighting MagnaVeedramon screamed with pure rage as she floated above the platform, her rage and pain drowning out all other sounds as the heroes and heroines shielded their ears from the pain.
At the same moment, MagnaVeedramon and his friends then watched as the rest of the copies of the Dark Lady returned to being pure shadows, before shooting toward the one floating about the battlefield, surrounding her in a cocoon of darkness.
When the sphere disappeared, the heroes and heroines saw that, while still a living shadow, the Dark Lady's appearance had changed, which, while confusing most of the group, unnerved those who had defeated the fallen Kamiya all those years ago.
"Not again!" Lightbearer Ophanimon and the rest of her team who confronted the Dark Lady in their final battle cried out, for the echo of their old enemy had now taken the same empowered form she had used during their last confrontation, a sight that brought dread to those familiar with her power within this form.
"NO MORE! THIS ENDS NOW AND YOU AND THIS WORLD WILL ALL SUFFER MY WRATH!" The Dark Lady declared with further fury within her voice as she looked down upon her enemies.
Tightening his fists and keeping his blades ready, however, MagnaVeedramon remained just as determined as ever.
He was willing to do what was necessary to end this battle, which seemed to reflect itself within his D-Bracer as he felt a familiar power calling to him.
No matter the cost and for the sake of Witchelny and his friends, the Digimon of Miracles would end this battle once and for all.
