AN: This will be an Adventure 02-Tamers-Savers crossover. For the record, in this story, Takato will not know anything about the Adventure universe for storyline purposes. Note that also this is a revision of the story I originally published here. This one, I believe, is superior to the old one simply because I actually care about it being easy to follow syntax wise–the old chapter will never see the light of day.

There were several things wrong with this scene, none of which involved a fire-breathing miniature yellow tyrannosaur. Walking alongside the small dinosaur was a human who, while over populous elsewhere, was practically a rarity in this world to the point where his kind were considered legends- beings of immense power whose punches had struck God himself down. The human had medium length disheveled hair that was obvious from afar had not been well kept. His clothes, mirroring his hair, were just as messy; his pants were rumpled and faded while his red outer shirt was no better. Judging from his physique it was quite obvious that he had a hardened body like no other. But his body was not one that was sculpted in a gym, no, it was one created from fighting creatures that the human body was never meant to defeat.

This man's name was Daimon Masaru.

Walking along side a raging river in a forest it was quite obvious that there was something bothering the human. While the dinosaur walking along side him was taking regular strides, or at least regular for a creature with small legs, Masaru was stomping the ground he was walking on. Eventually, the human would disturb the silence of the forest. Without warning, he lost his tact.

"Damn it!" Screamed Masaru as he threw a punch in the air. "Why is it so damn boring here?"

"Aniki?" The dinosaur walking along side Masaru seemed to be feeling a bit of shame by being associated with the human. "Why do you always do this?"

"Damn it, Agumon!" Masaru responded, acting surprised at his partner's response. "I don't know Agumon, it's just that there ain't nothing to do that is the least bit exiting. Ever since I defeated Yggdrasil nothing here has really been as challenging."

"What do you expect, Aniki?" said Agumon. "You defeated God; things were only going to go down from there."

"I know that. But, really... Remember... I mean, remember when we first started this five years ago? When I decided to stay?"

"You mean those digimon with god complexes?"

"Yeah, those."

"What about them?"

"It seemed that every other week somebody thinking they would be able to rule the world rose to the challenge. And by the next week I kicked their ass, giving room for the next Digimon with a Napoleon Complex."

"Aniki, a Napoleon Complex refers to those who act strong to overcompensate for something."

"Whatever! I'm just saying that back then this was fun. Now, I just don't know. I mean, I came here to polish my manliness, but how can I do that if there is no trouble?"

"Don't say that there is not trouble. Just last week you stopped those two tribes from going to war with each other."

"That was almost a month ago, Agumon." Masaru corrected his partner. "Plus, if I want to become a real man I need to be able to do more than stop a dumb school yard squabble."

"You can always go back with the Royal Knights and see if they can give you something to do."

"I'd rather past. After all, they are all so uptight. I tried challenging some of them to a fist fight the last time I was there, but they all told me to get out of the way."

"Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you challenged them the day they were remembering all the digimon that were lost during the massacre."

"They are just to scared to go up against me in a one-on-one fight. The next time that I see one of the Royal Knights I'm going to challenge him to a fist fight, whether he wants to or not."

"Whatever you say, Aniki."

Masaru decided that he needed to cool off. Stopping along side the river he used his hand to grab some water and began drinking it. Agumon soon joined him. However, their conversation would not be allowed to continue as a small tremor caused them to fall over.

"An earthquake?" asked Masaru as he tried to stand up, falling down in the process. "There must be something close by causing it. Stay on your guard, Agumon."

"Right," Agumon responded.

There was a fight going on in the distance. Both were able to hear the sound of whole mountains being destroyed. Both of them knew that whatever was out there causing the disturbance it was big. Somehow, that made Masaru smile. Eventually, what was causing that noise made its way towards the two.

"Dynasmon," Masaru said upon looking up to see what was causing the disturbance.

Up above them flew a large, white, knight looking being. To anybody else the knight would strike fear into his or her soul but Masaru saw that something was wrong. His body was badly damaged and it was obvious to the human that he was losing to whatever he was fighting. And that made the hairs on Masaru's neck raise. Just as he was about to speak out he was dumbstruck about what he saw next. Without warning he saw another Dynasmon fly from the direction where the first one has come from.

"The hell?" Obviously, Masaru had no idea what he was seeing. But soon he was about to be confused by the actions caused by the second.

Swiftly, the first Dynasmon flew towards the second one and attempted to punch him. However, as fast as he was, the other one was faster and proved it by catching the first ones' fist. The second Dynasmon moved his hand behind the head of the first, pushed the first's head down, and allowed his knee to connect. Being groggy, the first Dynasmon soon found himself on the receiving end of a punch that sent him fumbling towards the floor. It was now obvious that the sound coming from earlier had been caused by the first Dynasmon being thrown towards whatever managed to block his path.

"Agumon, I did not just see a Dynasmon being defeated by his double ganger, right?"

"Yeah, I saw it, too." Agumon responded, with himself being just as confounded as his partner. "I have no idea what is going on, either."

As they both watched the fallen Dynasmon fly up again Masaru knew that his fight was lost, and right he was. The second Dynasmon had managed to dodge the charging Dynasmon, but he was not done yet. Before the first could even turn to face his opponent the second one, without prejudice, used his claw to impale the first one in the back, with his hand managing to pierce his chest all the way through. As they both watched in suspense and astonishment, the first Dynasmon they saw began turning into data that eventually caused him to become a digitama. Though they saw that coming they were surprised when the victor Dynasmon absorbed the fallen one. Though it would have been wise to remain silent, Masaru acted on instinct and yelled at the victorious Dynasmon.

"Hey, you!" Masaru shouted. "Why did you go and kill a copy of yourself? Oh, and also, what the hell is going on here?"

Dynasmon was trying to find where the sound had come. Examining the area carefully he saw what had called out him. As his eyes fixed themselves on Masaru he flew towards him to greet his examiners.

"May I ask, what is the name you go by, obnoxious one?"

This, of course, angered Masaru. "Obnoxious one? Now I know that you knights tend to have a habit of acting snooty and tossing aside crap you deem unworthy, but I would at least think that you would remember me for after I took down Yggdrasil."

"You dare talk like that to one of the members of the Royal Knights? No wonder they went down so easily. If they could not demand respect from such a lonely subject like you then it was obvious they had no grasp of how to properly keep order."

"What the hell are you talking about? If it's a fight you want then, I'm all here!" Shouted Marcus as he began to run towards the large knight.

"Aniki, wait up," said Agumon as he began following his partner.

"It shall be your honor to die by my hands."

As he finished his taunt the large Dynasmon threw a punch downward hoping to smash the human in one move. Unfortunately for Dynasmon, he underestimated Masaru. As his gigantic hand slammed the floor Masaru jumped back and avoided the collision, managing to ignore the aftershock that the attack caused. Not wasting a second Masaru ran up the knight's arm. Reaching its shoulder Masaru knew he had caught the knight by surprised and took a giant leap as he reached the edge. As he was up in the air, Dynasmon continued to underestimate the human and was surprised when his punch not only connected to his face but actually managed to hurt him. Feeling the full force of the punch Dynasmon was sent back with Masaru still up in the air.

How can a human possess that kind of power? Thought Dynasmon as he continued to watch the human in amazement.

But Masaru was not done yet. His fist soon began glowing a bright orange that told him it was time to go all out and from his pocket he pulled out a rectangular device. "You want to underestimate me again, you bastard? Now you'll feel the true power of man on a quest to get stronger. You ready, Agumon?"

"Ready when you are, Aniki," responded Agumon, exited that he was finally going to get a chance to fight against a strong opponent.

"All right, then!" Masaru said as his whole body was covered with the orange energy that covered his fist a while ago. "Digisoul charge! Over..."

But, before he even managed to touch his digivice, a powerful wind managed to send him flying to the ground. Still trying to make his partner evolve, Masaru's digivice slipped out of his hands and was sent flying farther than the eye could see.

"What! You've got to be kidding me!" Screamed the surprised Masaru as he watched his digivice fly off. "Damn it, what the hell caused that?"

"Aniki, you never think these things through all the way." Knowing that his partner about to hit the floor Agumon positioned himself where he was about to land. "I got you, Aniki!" Managing to catch the human Agumon found that his partner was heavier than expected. "Aniki, I think you've gained some weight."

Quickly standing up Masaru– not even thanking his partner or checking to see if he himself was okay– saw whom it was that had sent him flying. The creature was a large, red dragon that was slightly bigger than Dynasmon. He had a humanoid body, a large tail, and two pairs of large-sized wings. Silver armor was adorned around his shoulders, abdomen, and in the edge and in the back of his wings, and from his chest all the way down to his groin. He also had two large horns that replaced his ears. Masaru had never seen anything like him before.

Damn it, Masaru thought to himself, I didn't even hear him flying towards me until he sent me flying. And how the hell did I not see him until now? He's too big to hide in plain sight. Don't tell me he just flew from afar? This might be slightly harder than I thought.

"Examon?" Dynasmon appeared to be surprised at the sight of the large dragon. "What do you think that you are doing here?"

"Without a counterpart to fight against in this dimension I got bored and decided to come here," he said in a cocky fashion. Shifting his eyes between the human and Dynasmon he began chuckling softly. "Good thing, too."

"Well then you can leave seeing as I can take care of this guy all by myself."

"Sorry, but Alphamon said you needed to come back as soon as you finished off your counterpart. Seeing as you did," Examon began looking around, "I would advice you to take orders or else."

"But this human has insulted me," Dynasmon pointed at Masaru. "He shows no respect towards us."

"Then I shall handle him while you follow orders."

Knowing that he was in a bind Dynasmon knew that the dragon was right. Judging from the look in his eyes Masaru knew that he was obviously scared of a higher up. Watching the Holy Knight fly away Masaru had something else to worry about. For one, he did not have his digivice– Examon had seen to that. And, even if he somehow managed to defeat the large dragon, which he was certain would be doable upon regaining his digivice, there was still something else he had to worry about; there were nine royal knights, so he was assuming that there would be nine more of these double gangers. Judging by how easily the first Dynasmon was defeated he was fairly certain that the double gangers would be stronger than the originals. But there was also Examon; was he also a Royal Knight? He hated to admit it, but there were more important things than his pride.

"Agumon, I know I usually don't say this, and by all means do you deserve to hit me later on for saying this, but run!" He shouted as he ran along side the river.

Watching his human partner go, Agumon soon followed closely behind. "Aniki, what do we do now?"

"We need to find that digivice before we fight him."

"But where did it go?"

Masaru pointed forward at nothing in particular. "That way!"

"That's some sense of direction you have right there, Aniki."

Watching them run with amusement Examon decided that he would toy with them, before anything else. "What, so you run away from a fight when things seem a little bad? What a bunch of cowards!" He began flying behind them, going slow enough that they were still in front of him. But now he wanted to do something. He decided to charge at them, purposely missing them just to scare the. However, Examon's speed managed to create a force powerful enough that both Agumon and Masaru were sent flying, crashing in a nearby tree.

"Crap!" Masaru screamed. "That hurt!" Both managed to get up from their collision and continued running. "This is why I hate running: you can't see your enemy."

Examon, however, decided to continue toying with them. Watching Examon about to attack them again both Masaru and Agumon looked at each other and the river and knew exactly what to do. As they both watched the dragon swoop down for the second time they jumped in the lake and managed to dodge the force brought on by the wind. Feeling they had just dodged a train, both Agumon and Masaru stuck their head above the water and looked at Examon.

"You're going to have to do better then that, you bastard," said Masaru as he stuck out his tongue at the giant dragon.

"Yeah! You're too slow to ever defeat me and Aniki," continued Agumon as he to stuck his tongue out at Examon, also.

"Look behind you," said Examon as he pointed at what was behind them.

Turning around both Masaru and Agumon saw what Examon was referring to. The river's current was going its direction because that was where the river would lead to a waterfall.

"Oh, crap!"

"Aniki, what do we do now?" Agumon was scared because he did not know how high they were about to fall.

"Swim!" Screamed Masaru as he began stroking his arms.

These two guys are clowns thought Examon as he continued to watch both of them try and out swim the current.

The water's current was easily much stronger than Masaru but even if it were twenty times its strength he would continue. Continuing to stroke his arms Masaru was eventually able to start moving forward, managing to beat the current. But then he remembered about his partner. It was obvious to Masaru that there was no way Agumon would be able to out swim the current since his arms were too small; he was almost at the edge. He soon stopped stroking his arms and joined his partner falling down the waterfall.

"Huh, I can't believe that he gave up just as he was making progress." Examon saw that the waterfall was deep and was certain they would not survive. "Hopefully the fun isn't over."

The last time they had been defeated their opponents had to tap into a dangerous power. However, their current opponents had defeated them without seemingly breaking a sweat. But when your current opponent was a mirror image of yourself the situation was quite different. In the Digital World it was common for two digimon of the same species to fight for superiority. But when you were on top of the superiority, and when there was no one sharing your appearance, this situation was unheard off.

Near the summit of a mountain there were only four of them left, all facing their opponents with their backs to each other so as to have a view from all sides, which did not offer much when the opponent was stronger and with higher numbers. The first one, known as Magnamon, was a blue digimon with golden armor covering his chest, shoulders, arms, head, and legs. To his right was Dukemon, a tall and slender white knight with red details. And to his right was another tall white knight, though instead of hands he appeared to have animal heads in place of fingers– an orange dragon on his left and a blue wolf on his right. Unlike the others' the Digimon that was to the left of Magnamon did not appear to have a human-like figure. Instead, he had the appearance of a red centaur-like horse; only instead of the typical four legs he had six. They were Omegamon, the leader, and Sleipmon, respectively.

There were only five in front of them right now, but all but one had managed to easily defeat their counterpart; the last to share a copy had yet to attack. Surrounding them were their counterparts: a pink feminine-knight looking digimon known as LordKnightmon, Craniummon, a large brute regalia-shade armored knight, a blue humanoid dragon called UlforceV-dramon, another Sleipmon, and a humanoid-winged leopard called Duftmon. However, powerful they may have been, upon the revelation of their leader the four remaining knights knew that winning was not a possibility.

From out the shadows revealed himself the leader behind the imposters. An imposing blue-cape black knight with gold detailing walked past the five knights, each of whom respectfully bowed before him. As he approached the four Omegamon could not believe his eyes– he did not know whether to sound admiringly or frightful. However, frightful would be what Alphamon would demand, as evident by his next order.

"Sleipmon, you know what to do." He commanded.

"Right, sir!" With the order being given the imposter Sleipmon flew towards the other one, attacking him in a fashion so as to cause him to flee from his allies, dwindling their numbers even further.

With a five-on-three advantage Alphamon gave the order to finish the other two off. "Leave him to me," Alphamon said as he pointed at Omegamon. "You all know what to do."

"Yes, sir" the other four knights responded as they moved into action.

To call them a well-oiled machine would have been a compliment to oiled machines throughout all worlds. Dukemon and Magnamon attempted to fight them off but before they could even manage to get an attack against their foes they were restrained; they had both been surrounded and knew that their fight was over.

UlforceV-dramon looked at both captured knights- first at Magnamon and then at Dukemon- with a bit of hesitation in his eyes. "Know that what we do to you is not personal and comes with great regret to us." He unsheathed his Ulforce Saber from his right arm and stabbed Magnamon through the chest, deleting the digimon. "I truly am sorry."

"You will not get away with this." Dukemon knew that he was next and that his threat was an empty one.

"You two will eventually rebirth yourselves as customary with your world." UlforceV-dramon prepared himself to kill Dukemon. "By the time you reach these forms again we will be long gone."

His saber easily penetrated Dukemon's armor, causing said digimon's data to start deleting. Soon, where both slain knights once stood were now two digitamas, implying that both would eventually be reborn. As for Omegamon he was now alone with Alphamon, and was waiting for what would happen next.

"Seeing as I am, once again, without a counterpart I guess that I will be forced to fight you again. I am a digimon of honor; I always give my challengers one last request before they die. So take your time thinking about this question; what do you wish to know?"

"You are not from this universe; why are you here in this world?" asked the slightly scared Omegamon.

Alphamon was curious. "Very few digimon know about 'other world.' This is knowledge solely reserved for the rulers; Yggdrasil must have had great faith in you to have entrusted you with such knowledge."

"Indeed he did." Omegamon knew that he was just delaying the inevitable. "You have yet to answer my question: why are you here?"

"Simple; I have been traveling dimensions looking for a digimon that will give me the power to defeat all foes. After a long journey, I– no, we are certain that he is here."

"And your ability to jump from dimensions? Only a very select few have that power."

"If you must know, I had a rare encounter with a Parallelmon one day. Rather than just defeating him we managed to trap its digicore. We now have its ability to travel through dimensions."

"You know, you sure seem to be confident telling me all that information that, if I defeat you, I can use it to my advantage."

"And you actually think that you can defeat me in a one on one fight. Overconfidence will always be our kinds' downfall."

He did not know how long he had been fleeing for only knowing that his chaser was easily keeping up with him. This situation had been funny to the six-legged knight, really. He had only recently rekindled his relationship with the others– they were not too keen on working with someone who had betrayed them, even if he turned to be right– so watching them all fall struck him. However, sulking around was most definitely not his style, and even so there were more important matters at hand.

He's attacking when my back is turned? Sleipmon readied himself.

He felt an arrow coming so he dodged left. But the arrow was just a distraction; the opposing Sleipmon used his whole body as a weapon– he had used his superior speed to hit him from behind, knocking him down. Though he had been moving forward the imposter's velocity had been great enough to actually cause the once partnered digimon to fall towards the ground. Try as he might he hit the ground hard, hurting him in the process.

But the imposter was not going to stop and let him gain some strength. Instead, he was charging at the downed knight hoping to finish him off quickly. He had to react fast; since he could not keep running after the fall– not that it mattered, anyway, as his opponent proved himself to be much faster than himself– he decided that fighting back was the only option.

He fired an arrow, though the imposter easily dodged it with very little effort. But he expected that– after all, he had caught up to him– and he had readied a counter for the situation.

Placing his shield in front of him, he quickly called out his attack.

"Odin's Breath," he called out as a large beam of ice was summoned from his shield.

Though it caught him of guard the invading Sleipmon managed to fly upward barely dodging the attack. But, being who he was, the partnered Sleipmon managed to see that maneuver coming as well and flew up, catching the invading Sleipmon by surprised again. As he made contact with the invader, Sleipmon positioned himself with his crossbow directly in the chest of his opponent. Firing off the arrow at point blank Sleipmon was certain that his attack had taken out the invader. With the arrow deep in the chest of the invader, the imposter Sleipmon fell to the ground hard, making a large thump as he hit it.

Landing on the floor, the partnered Sleipmon began resting from the short battle. Catching his breath Sleipmon was shocked when he felt an arrow pierce his back. With his legs wobbling on him, forcing him to crouch, Sleipmon looked back and saw that his opponent was walking towards him, with only a slight mark on him.

"You are a Royal Knight," stuttered the partnered Sleipmon. "How dare you attack an opponent when his back is turned?"

He did not respond.

If there was going to be no talking between the two that he knew what he had to do. Sleipmon readied his attack. "Odin's–"

He did not let him finish. Moving quicker than his opponent the imposter landed several punches before Sleipmon even finished calling out his attack. He had taken too much damage; the basic punches from his opponent had caused him to collapse.

The imposter looked at his defeated foe with contempt and disappointment. However, he began talking with a calm demeanor. "This is the limit to your abilities, is it not?" He kicked him hard in the stomach. "I've always heard how you partnered digimon were suppose to be stronger than the rest." He kicked him again. "Every time I faced one of them they fell before either me or one of my comrades. I was hoping that a partnered Royal Knight would prove to be a challenge– how I was mistaken. For a holy knight such as us to side with a human is blasphemy. You will die here."

As the invader flew upward, he put his shield in front of him and began charging up his ice attack. "Odin's Breath," he said as a beam of ice flew at the downed knight. As it hit the fallen Sleipmon, the ice attack began covering the body of the partnered Sleipmon, freezing him in the process. Though he was trying to fight it the former partner of Rentarou Satsuma found that the ice was preventing him from moving. Pushing his body past his limits, Sleipmon found that he was now entrapped within an ice glacier. With a victory under his belt the invading Sleipmon walked closer to his defeated foe and began to mock him.

"You depended too much on the strength of humans and, because of that, you failed to defeat me. Humans do not make a digimon strong and, when a Royal Knight decides to partner up with them, then their honor will never be restored. You are weak, almost as weak as your human counterpart. I only wish you could remain frozen in that tomb for all time, but business comes first."

He would take none of that any longer. He was insulting his partner– insulting his friend of several years– and he could take it no more. The imposter was beginning to raise his crossbow to finish him off. But his attempts were futile. He knew that if it were not for the ice keeping him standing he would be on the floor sprawled on the floor. He was not going to let his opponent win. He would see that this imposter would die today.

I can't let him walk away after he said that about you, Rentarou. But I cannot free myself with my own strength. I do not know if you can hear me or not, but I need your help. Please, lend me your strength!

Though it seemed impossible– not to mention, crazy– to ask for help from someone in another world, Sleipmon's body began emitting a small aura. Eventually, the aura became so strong that it turned the color of the ice from light blue to a red-orange. This change of color managed to catch the attention of the invading Sleipmon to the point were he began putting his shield in front of himself for protection. With more power being emitted from Sleipmon's body the energy that was released from his body managed to crack the ice, freeing Sleipmon.

The red-like aura surrounding Sleipmon not only rejuvenated his injuries– or at least allowed him to ignore them– but also destroyed his opponents' state of calm. "You come to this world and kill my allies! You insulted Rentarou! Rest assure that this will be your grave!" He charged forward.

Though the imposter had had been faster when they first started he had soon found himself being outmatched now that Sleipmon was borrowing energy from his partner. He landed a punch on his foe's face that sent him flying back. With the tide of the fight completely turn the partnered Sleipmon charged at the still down imposter.

"You attack an opponent when he's down!" Sleipmon grabbed his foe, picked him up, and tossed him into the air. He aimed his crossbow at his airborne assailant "You are a coward! Bifrost!"

Launching an energy arrow the invading Sleipmon realized that he would not be ignoring this one like the last. It easily penetrated the Chrome Digizoid armor going all the way through; it continued its momentum long after it exited the body. Watching him hit the floor he waited for him to stand up– he did not want to be a hypocrite, after all. As he stood up he knew that the fight would determined by the next move.

"And don't you ever dare to insult Rentarou Satsuma in my presence! Odin's Breath!"

As the partnered Sleipmon fired a giant beam of ice the invading Sleipmon managed to fire the same ice attack as a counter measure. When they both collided it appeared that the attacks were equal in power. But, because of some unknown power, the partnered Sleipmon knew that he had more energy then what he was emitting at the moment.

""You say that humans make us weak, yet you are losing to the power of one! As you freeze to death I want you to know that it was because a human lent me his power. Now, full power!"

Unleashing all of his and Satsuma's might the blizzard that Sleipmon released was several times bigger then what it was before. In the area where they both met the invaders' ice attack was easily overshadowed by the other's combined power. When the blizzard cleared it revealed a large ice ball where the other Sleipmon once stood. Aiming his bow forward Sleipmon fired a few of his arrows that eventually destroyed his opponent. With that, the ball of ice was destroyed, taking the invading Sleipmon with it.

As the red aura began to die down the remaining Sleipmon began feeling the strain that was caused by his body feeling tired– he had clearly over pushed himself by using that power, as his body had never been like this before– and caused him to collapse. Realizing that it would be a while before he was back in fighting shape Sleipmon began thinking about his next actions. Or he would have, but his battle scars caused the knight to finally faint after a hard fought battle.

He only knew the legend; whatever was standing before him was just that and more. Staring down at his opponent Omegamon was well aware of the situation that he was in. Alphamon knew, too, of course–he knew Omegamon would not be able to defeat him so he gave him that information to impose false hope. But Omegamon knew that the power of Alphamon surpassed the power of the majority of digimon, and he himself was no exception. Omegamon knew that, if he was going to defeat him, he was going to rely on something else besides power.

"Alphamon," Omegamon put his right arm forward, "I cannot allow you to exist to solely fulfill your selfish deeds. As long as I stand, you will not be allowed to harm anymore digimon. Grey Sword."

From the mouth of his dragon arm a sword was unsheathed, signaling that he was ready to fight.

"I would expect nothing less from our kind. Holy Sword GrandAlpha." Calling out his weapon, a large sword materialized in the hand of Alphamon. Clutching the sword, both combatants charged at each other, beginning their fight. With the sound of digital steel clashing taking the silent skies, it was apparent that Alphamon had more physical strength.

Omegamon was amazed at the amount of power that was standing before him. "Why do you this? Why is it that you need more power?"

The black knight said nothing.

Realizing that he would be overpowered soon Omegamon jumped back, causing Alphamon to lose his balance and caused his holy sword to crash into the ground. Knowing that his opponent dropped his guard Omegamon raised his left arm at his opponent and began charging up his attack.

"Garuru Cannon!" He said as a large ball of energy shot out from his left hand, going directly at his opponent.

He could have dodged the attack, really, but doing so would prove nothing. Instead, he swung his sword at the energy bullet and sent it flying like a baseball. Easily tossing aside the attack that Omegamon put his might into Alphamon knew his pride was hit. Putting his hand in front of himself Alphamon fired several small green beams of energy from his hand in the direction of his opponent. Being aware that the attack was coming Omegamon fired his Garuru Cannon at the energy blast, causing a large explosive. Using the smoke as cover Alphamon flew straight towards at his opponent and swung his sword at him.

Somehow, he saw it coming. The sword managed to cut through the smoke, and he did not mean smoke as in symbolic– it actually cut the smoke. Though it was scary to see that, Omegamon was able to see him charging at him barely giving him enough time to dodge. Jumping back he knew he had escaped death for now. However, his chest had been grazed– he saw that the sword had gotten close but he did not think it actually hit him. Having taken the first wound in battle Omegamon knew that he would have to make a big move if he had a chance at defeating his opponent. Rather than continuing to fight in the ground Omegamon took of for the skies with a new strategy in mind.

Not knowing what his opponent was up to Alphamon decided to follow him, knowing that his power would make up for any mistake he made strategically. With the battle taking to the skies Alphamon decided that he would try to hit his opponent from a distance. Putting his hand forward he once again began firing several green beans of energy that were aimed at Omegamon. Noticing the attack Omegamon managed to dodge most of them. For the one that did hit he able to ignore the pain they caused; he had not felt that kind of rush in a long time.

Finally, reaching the point where he wanted to do battle, Omegamon slowed down long enough to fire his Garuru Cannon at his opponent. As the large energy ball barely missed the approaching Alphamon, Omegamon saw an opportunity and flew in for a close ranged attack. Seeing the strategy behind Omegamon's ascension, Alphamon raised his own sword in front of himself to block the incoming attack. But with the speed that Omegamon had gained charging downward he managed to be on the winning side when both swords collided.

However, Omegamon knew that he could not defeat Alphamon in a head on collision. Instead of aiming for the middle of the blade he aimed for the top, giving him enough leverage that, for the first time since he began fighting, he was winning. Gripping the top of his sword Alphamon was able to even out the force being applied towards his sword, preventing it from collapsing towards him.

Alphamon now had no defenses; both of his hands were busy preventing his own sword from cutting him. Omegamon, however, still had his Garuru Cannon. He was finally close to the ground. Aiming his left arm directly at his opponents face Omegamon took his shot, causing an explosion that hit both of them–obviously, Alphamon took most of the hit as he was sent crashing towards the floor. He knew he had been falling fast because upon hitting the ground Alphamon created a small crater, though it did provide him cover as a dust cloud was sent up.

Omegamon looked at where Alphamon had fallen. There is no way he would have gone done with just one attack.

As the smoke cleared he found his thesis to be correct: there was nothing there.

When did he have time to move?

His thoughts, however, would soon be interrupted as he felt a punch hitting the back of his head. Falling to the floor he saw what he suspected; Alphamon had somehow managed to appear behind him without Omegamon being the wiser. He wondered, however, why he did not just kill him right then and there. His defenses were down, after all, and the fight would have ended. Getting up Omegamon knew that there was no way he could win–Alphamon's ability to dust of his attacks and superior speed had been enough proof–so he decided that he would enjoy his last moments.

"You never did tell what is it that you seek." Omegamon began charging forward.

"If you truly wish to know then I will show you. Ultimate War Blade King dragon Sword," he shouted as his old sword dematerialized from his hand.

Where an impressive sword once rested in the hands of Alphamon, now stood a larger and stronger sword. The sword had a large handle compared to the last one, and the blade was wider in stature. But the sword would not have time to be admired. With Omegamon approaching him Alphamon slashed the sword forward, connecting with the Grey sword. The last time that the sound of steel collided, both combatants were almost on equal terms. Unfortunately for Omegamon this new blade easily defeated his sword, breaking the Grey sword where it struck. Since it cut the sword so easily Alphamon's new weapon kept going until it struck the body of Omegamon.

Clashing with his armor Omegamon felt as the sword completely penetrated his insides. Now that the sword was inside of him he truly felt the power that the sword possessed. In reality, it had been nothing short of frightening feeling that amount of power coming from the sword. If memory served him right Omegamon was certain that Alphamon possessed more power than even Yggdrasil. Heck, he was certain that he possessed much more strength than the one who defeated Yggdrasil, Masaru Daimon and his partner, Agumon. Seeing that the sword dematerialized from Alphamon's hands, Omegamon feel to on his back.

Omegamon finally saw why Alphamon wanted more power. To his surprised, using that attack had caused Alphamon more damage to his body than the entire fight with him.

"That sword..." Omegamon spoke slowly. "You came here searching for a way to fully control it, are you not?"

Barely standing up Alphamon responded. "It is good to see that you are observant. Most foes that I defeat simply presume that I do this for kicks."

"You know that, had you missed, you would have been vulnerable towards an open attack. And your body... you destroyed your body by using this one attack."

"I timed everything perfectly; I only used that attack when there is a 99.99 percent certainty of a hit. You rushed in foolishly thinking that your tactic would work on me, twice."

"Then tell me, how were you able to summon so much power? I do not think that I have ever felt that amount of power coming from one person."

"That information will serve you no good." Alphamon said coldly.

"Fine. Then answer me this; how many universes have you and your ilk traveled to?"

"Why do you wish to know?"
"I'm just curious, is all."

He was struggling to stand up. Alphamon began to ponder the question. "Truth be told, this is the first time that I have truly thought about this; the honest answer is that I have lost track of the worlds' I've visited. But I will tell you that I have seen everything in my travels: I have seen worlds fighting over small and insignificant matters, I have seen the real world fighting with their digital counterpart. Worlds at peace, worlds at war, worlds in a state of uncertainty–I can tell you that I have seen it all."

"A world at peace? I've been dealing with a bunch of warring tribes lately that dying in a world at peace would be suited."

He had nothing left to prove. After all, he had granted him knowledge as per his request and had given him a proper final battle. Really, he could have let him die right where the rest of his comrades fell. But it felt wrong this time. After all, even if it was for just a few seconds, he had been at a disadvantage. According to Alphamon that deserved some kind of reward. But Omegamon had other plans.

Tapping into his reserves Alphamon managed to stand up. Placing his arm in front of himself a white and purple glowing orb appeared in his hand. "Your last wish shall be granted."

As the area around the ball began warping the defeated Omegamon raised his shattered sword and used the broken edges to stab the white ball. When it connected, a large amount of energy began being released from the ball. Soon, a small electrical storm surrounded both Alphamon and Omegamon. They were both disappearing and reappearing every other second–they were both currently stuck in between several worlds.

Dukemon, Magnamon, bring the help that this world needs. This here is our fight! Saying his final prayer, Omegamon placed all of his energy in his sword and transported it to the orb. When the ball finally did receive all of Omegamon's energy the ball sent out a large wave that sent the battle-damaged Alphamon flying. As the force from the wave subsided, Alphamon saw that Omegamon was no more–not even his digitama was left. Finding it quite difficult to stand up, Alphamon was more shocked when the four remaining knights came and informed him of the bad news.

"Sir Alphamon," said the voice of Craniummon. "Magnamon and Dukemon's digitama's, sir, they disappeared during that large wave."

So his last request was just a way to keep this fight going for now. No matter, they will not stand a chance. Still...

Standing up, with the little energy that he had left, Alphamon knew that he would not have time to enjoy the scenery. "As soon as the other arrive here inform them that they are to carry out the plan."
