Yamaki Mitsuo POV - Real World, Earth, Japan, Tokyo - 2001

  After the Hypnos and Shaggai reactivation fiasco that happened a few days ago, I was reinstated in my previous position as the head of the Hypnanization thanks also to the support of the Chief et Secretary.

  Thanks to that, we are once again monit all activities of the work, including those reted to Digimon that now than ever are sidered of maximum priority and importance, especially after what happened in Shinjuku where a single one of those Digimon was able to y waste of everything in its path and our military force proved to be pletely iive against it.

  But that isn't the only thing we are currently fog on, as we are als together with the members of the Wild Bunch to find a way to safely bring back to the Real World the kids that are currently stranded in the Digital World and from what I heard from Jiang-yu-san they have recovered the data of the blueprint of an old project that they theorized called the Ark, which should be able to not only ed find them through their D-Arks but also read bring them back to the Real World.

  Suddenly an arm sounds ihe aer of the Hypnos System as Reika reports, "An abnormal data expansion is taking p the deepest yer of the work!"

  Hearing that I immediately grow worried as this is one of my greatest fears and mutter, "The worst crisis... Is it a Digital Hazard?"

  At the same time, I also notice the same symbol is now c all the space of the internal dome, which we use as a proje s to show the visual representation of the current state of the work as Onodera Megumi adds, "It's the worst we've had. I-It'll affect the Real World, too!"

  As I tio watch this ongoing crisis, Jiang-yu-san rushes inside asking, "What's going on?" to which I holy answer "We don't know. An enormous poeared in the Digital World's deepest yer. The yer itself is being shaken."

  Hearing that, Jiang-yu-san quickly asked me, with clear worry in his tone, "How are Jianliang and the others?"

  I shake my head and after taking a few moments to think about it, I say, "We 't tact them. But I'm sure this is reted to their as."

  At this point, Jiang-yu-san 't help but ment, "Why? Why now? I've been w with my friends from all over the world to create an Ark to rescue the children... I 't believe we won't make it in time!"

  I look at the distraught father and try to reassure him by saying, "I believe in them. So far, they've mao do things that no one among us could ever do." making him look back at me and say, "Yes... you're right."

  But then he looks up and adds, "But... This irregurity..." leaving the rest unsaid as we both uand just how dangerous something of this magnitude be.

  Jayr POV - Digital World, Realm of the Holy Beasts - 2001

  Megidramon tio roar f Chimairamon to take a few steps back as Megidramon's mere presence is starting to affect the Digital World in such a way that it is slowly starting to colpse, which is absurd and scary on many levels.

  As this is happening, I quickly rush to the distraught Juri's side and give her Digitama in my hands while saying, "Take it."

  Juri with tears in her eyes looks at me and asks, "W-What is this...?" and with a f smile on my face, I reply and expin, "This is Leomon... well, his Digitama. I wasn't able to heal him in time, but I was still able to save him. Only because of the heavy damage he received, he degeed back to his Digitama state and will take some time to return back to his Adult Level. But at least he is still alive."

  Hearing that, Juri's shaking hands quickly move toward the Digitama in my hands as she asks in a hopeful tone, "L-Leomon...? Is it true...?"

  In response, I nod and say, "It's true. Use your heart to feel it and you will immediately reize him."

  Juri takes the Digitama from my hand and slowly hugs it and as her D-Ark beeps, she mutters with joy and relief ione, "Leomon! He is here! I feel him!" Soon after that, I hear Megidramon roar once again and rush toward Chimairamon as the two start to fight and also hear Jianliang as he uses the Digimon Analyzer on Megidramon and says, "Megidramon. Ultimate Level. Aremely wicked Digimon that is the most evil among Dragon Digimon. It is one of the Freat Dragons Digimon alongside Qinglongmon, Goddramon, and Holydramon, but its personality is so fiendish that it doesn't bear the slightest resembo the other three. Although it is a rare species that isn't even known to be extant, and its very existence is a "Digital Hazard", its powers were sealed away by some sort of "force". However, it is said that a great amount of damage will be exerted on the Digital World when its powers are awakened. It has a body made from e Digizoid. Acc to oheory, Megidramon and Chaos Dukemohe same being, and it is said that whether that wave of terror is projected as a dark knight or as a dark dragon depends on the observer. Its Signature Move is a powerful shock wave that is called the "howl of hell" (Hell Howling). Its Special Move is its "Megiddo Fme" which reduces everything to ash. He really is an Ultimate Level..."

  At the same time, I see a shocked Takato as he watches Megidramon overwhelm Chimairamon pushing it onto the ground and muttering, "That's Guilmon? The Digimon I came up with? I wao defeat it... Because I wao kill it... Guilmon... Ah!"

  But sooops as the earth starts to shake while enormous fissures appear all around on the ground caused by Megidramon's rampaging power which is damaging aroying the very structure of the Digital World.

  At the same time, Kyubimon, Guardromon, and Rapidmo away from the rampaging Megidramon and move to help, Kenta, Hirokazu, Ruki, Jianliang, and Shaog bringing them away from the most affected areas.

  Meanwhile, I quickly move toward the still-shocked Takato and lightly sp the back of his head to snap him out and say, "Get yourself together, Takato! Even if he looks very scary and is clearly out of trol, the one over there is still Guilmon! The same Guilmon who is your friend and cares for you! Yuilmon!"

  Takato looks at me and stutters, "B-But... Pucci-sensei..." but I interrupt him and tinue, "Snap out of it! This isn't even the first time that you have seen something like this happen! There was Terriermon when he first evolved into Galgomon also lost trol. Or more retly there is also Ryo's Cyberdramon who also is a very aggressive Digimon and often loses trol. But despite that, in both those cases, the Digimon iion still cared for their Tamers. Megidramon is the same. He still cares for you and after he calms down a little your voice will surely be able to reach him if it es from the bottom of your heart."

  While I'm saying that, I also take a look at Megidramon as it tries to bite Chimairamon's head off and think, 'The only problem is that at the moment, Megidramon is too lost in his wrath that was further amplified by Takato's anger and the subsequent evolution to the Ultimate Level and now won't listen to anything uhe target of his anger is destroyed or he is severely weakened...'

  Suddenly, Makuramon and Caturamon disengage from their battle with Jewelbeemon and EXV-mon, teleport o the struggling Chimairamon's side, and say.

  "Chimairamon! What are you doing? Why are you wasting so much time? You are clearly powerful enough to easily kill all those Digimon back then... Why did you get rid of them immediately as we kept the stronger ones busy?"

  "If you tihis fight, not only will ods' realm be destroyed, but the whole Digital World as well!"

  But Chimairamon ighem and simply mutters, "Kill..."

  Then before Makuramon and Caturamon could say anything else, two of Chimairamon's four arms moved away from Megidramon's head and grabbed the nearby Makuramon and Caturamon making the monkey and dog Deva stuggle in its grasp as they yell in panic.

  "Wh-What are you doing!? You are but a mere Digimoed by the power of od to follow our orders! A simple soldier!"

  "We are servants of God, a Deva! You must...!"

  But before Mukaramon finish, Chimairamon roars and closes its hands crushing Caturamon and Mukaramon's heads and turning their bodies into motes of Data that it then quickly loads into its body making Chimairamon powerful enough to push back Megidramon, much to the shock of everyone else watg this se.

  At this point, I realize that it is time to stop pying around and grabbing my D-Ark, I start to manipute my Spiral o inputting it into the D-Ark as I yell, "Holy Angemon! Jewelbeemon! EXV-mon! It's time to go all out! Ultimate Evolution!!"

  I feel the D-Ark absorb my Spiral o aions and transform it into Data, sending it to my Digimon Parthrough our bond.

  In respoheir bodies start to shine so much that they gee pilrs of colored light that pletely mask their evolving bodies as they call out.

  "Holy Angemon, evolve...!"

  "Jewelbeemon, evolve...!"

  "EXV-mon, evolve...!"

  Soon after that, the pilr of lights fades away as my Digimon Partners fully evolve to their Ultimate Level and call out the name of their current form.

  "... Goddramon!"

  "... Bancho Stingmon!"

  "... Exceed V-mon!"

  Goddramon has the appearance of a massive isnd-sized oriental dragon with a human torso.

  He has golden fur on his bad silver on his belly, bd red markings on his chest, a reptilian face with a gray beard and mane, and he has six white and gold wings.

  He also has one red and one blue bracelet, a Sacred Ring on his left arm, and his face covered by a mask with two horns, gray and red.

  [colpse]

  As soon as they plete their evolution, I don't waste any more time and quickly give my instrus, "Goddramon, you take care of Megidramon weaken or knock him out before he destroys the Digital World! Bancho Stingmon, Chimairamon is yours! Exceed V-mon, work with Aegiochusmon, and bring down Mugendramon ond for all! Quick, the more time we waste the more damage the Digital World will take!"

  At the same time, I hear the kids and the Digimon who just withis se, enting about the evolution of my Digimon Partners with wonder awe, and relief iones.

  "Incredible... Pucci-sensei's Digimon all evolve to the Ultimate Level..."

  "This is amazing! So many Ultimate Levels!

  "Are you tellihat he was holding back the whole time!?"

  "No really. Patamon, Wormmon, and V-mon always used just the level of power needed..."

  "Thanks to them I will be able to return back to the Real World and safely hatch Leomon's Digitama."

  "I'm so gd! As long as Pucci-sensei is with us we will be safe..."

  "Why did he just tell Goddramon to attack Guilmon?"

  Quickly after that, Ruki uses the Digimon analyzer to identify one of the Ultimate Level forms of my Digimon Partners, "Bancho Stingmon. Ultimate Level. An I Digimon that is full of pride and lives by stantly overp those around it. It prioritizes its own pride out of everything else, and its high-ranking pride is said to be first-rate among all of the Digimon. If someone says or does something that damages its pride even the slightest bit, it will never five them, regardless of who the oppo is. It is said that it acquired the title of "Bancho" through its unpromising pride. Its symbolic Gakuran was minutely sewn with the shells of various is, giving it a very firm structure. Its Special Moves are skewering the enemy with the drills on both of its arms (Bloody Finish), releasing Kiraichū that self-destru enemies (Bakuraiten), and shattering the enemy's face with a headbutt (Redbutt)."

  After her, Jianliang also uses the Digimon Analyzer and starts to read out the information projected by his D-Ark, "Goddramon. Ultimate Level. A Gon Digimon with six hardened wings and a body that shines gold. On its arm is the proof that it is a holy Digimon, and it is sidered a kind of Holy-species Digimon from where it wears its H. Goddramon is one of the "Freat Dragons Digimon"; the four of them are Goddramon, Holydramon, Qinglongmon, and Megidramon. Also, the tiny dragon Digimon sealed within the vambra Goddramon's right hand is called "Amon of Red Fme", who governs over "Destru", and the one sealed within the vambra its left hand is called "Umon of Blue Thunder", who governs over "Regeion" to attack its oppos. Its Special Move is exploding its holy spirit, instantly mowing down the oppos in every dire (God Fme)."

  Hirokazu also doesn't hesitate to do the same as he yells, "Hahaha! Finally, I too use the Digimon Analyzer! Let's see... Exceed V-mon. Ultimate Level. An ultimate A Mythical Dragon Digimon that is thought to have existed in aimes. It is the ultimate evolution of XV-mon's natural power. There are few who have said to have seen its appearance, but it has not even beeirely firmed if it actually exists. It is said that it has unmatched power among all the Dragon Species Digimon to the point that the only rival was the equally a A Greymon whose abilities were ter passed on to many of the "Dragon Digimon", such as the Greymon-species. Its Signature Move sists of geing beam bdes from its cws able to cut through anything (Force Bde). It Special Moves sist of surrounding itself in an aura of Dark Matter shaped like a dragon, then ramming against its target annihiting everything in its path (Death Impulse), and firing aremely powerful energy wave from its mouth that reduces everything it touches into nothing (Exceed Extin). Woah!!"

  As this is happening, my Digimon Partners quickly start to follow my instrus as Bancho Stingmon and Goddramon quickly fly toward Megidramon and Chimairamon who are still fog on each other, while Exceed V-mon heads toward Mugendramon.

  Bancho Stingmon is the fastest and the first oo reach his target and without aation on his part, he blows Chimairamon away with a flying kick before quickly chasing after it while saying "It's time to end this, Chimairamon!"

  Quickly after that, Goddramon also closes into the enraged Megidramon tag the fellow Freat Dragon into the ground, then he says, "Sorry... I'm going to put some dirt in your eye!" before he starts to rain down punches on Megidramon's face hoping to knock it out, or at least weaken it enough to for Takato's voice to reach him while Megidramon tries to break out from Goddramon's assault.

  Oher hand, Mugendramon immediately notices Exceed V-mon approag it, not that it is difficult as it is a quite massive blue dragon that does not go unnoticed, and so, it forces my Digimon Ination back by firing missiles from all over its body before it turns its body toward Exeed V-mon and unleashes its most powerful Special Move, the Mugen on by firing superdreadnought-css energy waves from its two ons.

  In response, Exceed V-mon quickly gathers his energy as the crossed golden rings closest to the tip of his tail start to shine in a golden light, followed by the set of crossed golden rings wound around the halfoint of the tail, and the st rgest set wound around his upper body which also start to shine, before opening its mouth and r, "Exceed Extin!" unleashing aremely powerful golden energy wave from his mouth.

  The two energy waves csh against each other with none able to overpower the other reminding me of the cssic csh between energy waves in Dragon Ball style while at the same time, I also grow more serious a closer to the kids making sure that I erect a barrier to protect them all while thinking, 'Luckily the energies are trated in the energy waves and do not spill out because both their attack have enough power behind it to wipe out a whole universe in a single blow... luckily this is the sed highest yer of the Digital World making capable of enduring quite a bit of punishment before colpsing and the three of the Four Holy Beasts are also doing their part in reinf this pne and the whole Digital World... Anyway, this 't tinue, I have to quickly make a move and finish this...'

  ing to that clusion, I immediately decide to make my move as my Digital Ination rushes toward Mugendramon's exposed back while f a two-meters-long pile out of lightning, jumps high in the air and with a swift strike, impales the enemy with it from overhead, driving the lightning pile into Mugendramon's ons while yelling, "Lightning Pile!" before quickly jumping out of the way.

  Because of that, Mugendramon's ons explode causing the interruption of its energy wave and as a result, Exceed V-mon's energy wave quickly advaoward its target until it directly hits Mugendramon disiing everything it touches, leaving behind only a little more than half of Mugendramon's body intad a huge, bottomless, circur hole behind it as Exceed V-mon's energy wave erased everything in its path until my Digimon Partner decided to interrupt it.

  As what remains of Mugendramon's body falls on the ground while its body starts to slowly disperse in small motes of Data, at the same time, Bancho Stingmon catches up with the blown away Chimairamon in mid-flight, grabs Chimairamon's head with both his hands and pulls his head back to gather more momentum therusts his head forward to deliver a powerful headbutt and calls out, "Redbutt!"

  Bancho Stingmon's forehead impacts Chimairamon's face hard enough to shatter the Kabuterimon's helm that covers its head making Chimairamon roar in pain and crash on the ground.

  This se also makes me wince a little as Bancho Stingmon's teique in delivering a headbutt is awful, at least from a human point of view, 'Not only does he use the forehead instead of the harder part of his skull that is located just slightly above it. But he also aimed a ractically is the hardest part of the enemy's head instead of the softest one... Well, at least those would be problems if Bancho Stingmon had a human body, but he is only humanoid, and most of his body is covered in tough, hard exoskeleton...'

  While I'm thinking that, Bancho Stingmo give Chimairamon any ces as he quickly finishes off the enemy using another one of his Special Moves, Bloody Finish, which sists of skewering the downed Chimairamon with the drills on both arms causing Chimairamon to mournfully roar as his body also starts to slowly disperse into small motes of Data.

  Seeing that both Chimairamon and Mugendramon are no longer a problem, I focus ba Goddramon and Megidramon's battle, and I'm not the only one as Exceed V-mon, Bancho Stingmon, my Digimon Ination, and everyone else also moves close to me watg the battle betweewo members of the Freat Dragons.

  I also noticed that while I focused on Exceed V-mon and Bancho Stingmon's battles, Takato got very close to them as he tio call out Megidram to snap him out of his frenzy state while Goddramon tio slug Megidramon with a rush of punches, one punch after the other while yelling, "Muda. Muda. Muda. Muda. Muda!"

  At the same time, Bancho Stingmon shakes his head and ents, "I khat this was going to happen sooner or ter... There is no way that our dear brother, the "Digimon of Culture" was going to miss the opportunity to pull off something like this." followed by Exceed V-mon who adds, "At least this time he didn't ge his name in Diodramon like he did the st time we tested our evolution to the Ultimate Level... That day I thought I was so ashamed that I wao find a hole and bury myself in it... Sometimes I still hear it... "Patamon, evolve...! ... Diodramon! Wryyyy!" It was awful."

  Hearing that I 't help but smile a little while thinking, 'It wasn't that awful... I found it funny! Furthermore, it isn't that wrong, Dio is the Italian word fod so in a certain sehat is still his name...'

  While I'm thinking that, something ges as Goddramon stops raining down punches on Megidramon who in turn stops struggling and closes his eyes.

  At the same time, Takato runs over and hugs Megidramon's head as he says, "It's all my fault. I really loved Digimon. I always thought it'd be great to py with a real one, not just oer or with the card game. So it was like my dream came true. What I wished became real, like magic. But then we experienced many things together, some good, some bad. And I realized that it wasn't magic at all. In the end, we both got angry and lost ourselves in our desire for revenge. But... This... this isn't right... You have never wished to destroy everything! My friend always fought to protect me and our friend! Please, don't lose yourself, Guilmon!!"

  In respoo Takato's cry, Megidramon slowly opens his eyes which shine in bright red light for a brief moment before the light fades away and Megidramon slowly mutters, "Ta... ka... to..." making Takato yell back, "Guilmon!"

  At this point, I clearly sehat Megidramon's power stops rampaging and harming the Digital World as it bees tained within Megidramon's body where it simmer ready to burst out whenever needed a sign that Guilmon's kindness and good nature reined in the ferocious and vicious nature of his Megidramon form bringing it under trol.

  After that, Megidramon slowly stands up aly nuzzels his head against Takato's body as he says, "Takato... I'm sorry... I scared you again..." but Takato shakes his head and says, "It's not your fault! We both were angry for what happeo Leomon and lose ourselves. But deep down I khat no matter how scary you bee, Guilmon will always be Guilmon, my friend."

  Admiring the bizzare sight of a ferocious looking Megidramon as he gentily nuzzle his head on Takato's body, I 't help but smile while thinking, 'Well... this truly isn't what I expected to happen... I expected that Takato and Guilmon would evolve together to form Dukemon like it happened in the anime, instead it seems that Guilmon's got his Megidramon form under trol...'

  Odyin
