[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]

Conker (voiceover) - Last time on the Argetlahm Adventures, the Argetlahm crew finally began their long-awaited assault on Ultramagnus' Digiworld compound, but were thrown off somewhat at Ultramagnus' choice of security. The place was a funhouse! Just the lobby itself had too many guns in it to count! On the second floor, when Veemon accidently stepped on a pressure plate, the roof literally came down on us! It was Izzy's quick thinking that shut down the security system and protected us from being flattened. On the third floor it was up to Goku to answer a quiz that defined the fate of the group.. however, he unexpectedly aced it and allowed us access to the end of the security matrix. We were able to skip completely up to Ultramagnus' office, but before we were able to fight him and take back the Chrono Cross and the Dragon Balls, that bitch Yolei showed up and stalled us while Ultramagnus made his escape! We were able to defeat her easily, especially with the unexpected intervention of several more of the Z fighters that Lord Raul had warped into the Digital World.

As Ultramagnus begins to make his way to Epoch Rock for the final wish that could break all of the fourth dimension to his will, God only knows if we'll be able to stop him in time or not...

Server Continent - Northlands
Day 18, 4:23 PM

Once again, everyone trudged slowly along the desolate northern wastes of Server, still stiff from a momentary break half an hour ago. While the group shuffled along like they had toward Ultramagnus' HQ, there was a definite depression hanging in the air. As people in the group moved along, they would stop every couple minutes and stare vaguely at the expansive mountain range that resided in the distance. The most prominent and highest-altitude cliff on all of Server, Epoch Rock, was their destination.

Ultimanium glanced hesitantly back at the drowsy group. Well, they're aware of the risk they're getting themselves into, anyways.

Conker slid soundless across the rocky terrain inbetween the crew and Ultimanium. ".. excuse me for saying this... but what if Ultramagnus' has already accessed the Dragon Balls? Is there even reason to continue?"

"If the Dragon Balls were activated, we would be the first to notice," Krillin explained. "There are many symptoms of a Dragon Ball activation that can be detected from a long distance. The sky turns black... and then there's the dragon. Shen Long nearly takes up the entire sky, as many times as I've seen him."

Davis blinked as he stared back at Matt, Sora and Joe, all walking alongside their Rookie digimon. "..hey.. guys.. just wondering, how exactly did you get into the Digital World? The digiports were locked down I thought."

Joe shrugged. "Beats me, we got through them no problem."

"The closing of the digiports probably wasn't Ultramagnus' will," Raul said. "I guess he didn't close them. It was probably just a technical problem."

"I think I've figured this out," Izzy commented. "I can track the huge power level of Ultramagnus using some sample Scouter software. He's travelling unusually slow for a Super Saiyan of his status. It's like he's giving us time."

Ultimanium sighed to himself. Here goes. "Everybody. I need to talk to you, now."

Blackwargreymon nodded. "We're listening."

"Well..." Ultimanium shuffled his feet. "Alright. Do any of you have any idea what kind of fight we'll probably be getting into tonight? In case you are not taking this seriously, let me give you a recap, as disorienting as it may seem. Ultramagnus is a monster. His power level is greater than that of the SSJ6 level, and he has used that to barbaric effect. He has effectively destroyed an entire world with his bare hands. Right now, if he succeeds in his efforts, he will destroy another world - in many cases, yours. One thing - he is extremely powerful. TOO powerful. Know this, even with a power level such as mine, he could flick my head off if he wanted to.

"What I need to point out to you now is that you are entering a fight for all creation. If Ultramagnus is allowed to win here, than there are little to no forces in this galaxy that could remain to stop his rampage. To tell you the truth, we may not be able to defeat him. I hate to say this, but many of you will be forced to make sacrifices to defeat this menace.

"Me, Lord Raul and Magnus will remain down on Server to survey Ultramagnus. I want you all to get to the nearest digiport and board the Argetlahm and find a reason to fight. If you can't, I can't say I'll particularly blame you, but your dreams and hopes will. An entire universe of life is depending on your efforts this night, but I can't make you fight if you don't want to. Just be aware.. of those who come down here after, there are some that aren't going to come back."

Conker attempted to retort, but something stopped him. "... okay."

Ultimanium turned his back to the group, hiding a discouraged face. "One hour. In one hour I want those who wish to fight down where I stand right now. For those who don't, Conker knows how to operate the J3. He will be able to send you home. That is all. I leave the rest up to you."

Everybody stood in absolute silence. The northern wind howled through the mountain chasms in the distance, sending a shiver through the crowd.

Izzy turned back slowly, looking down at his laptop. "There's a digiport about a 10-minute jog back over here. Let's go."

As the entire group turned to leave down the winding mountain path, Ultimanium still stood facing up the path. Raul walked up to him, cautiously. "Are you sure that was the right thing to do? What if none of them come back?"

Ultimanium sulked. "Then we die alone."

Argetlahm
Day 18, 4:26 PM

The Argetlahm remained silent, the only noise radiating from it the constant blurred hum of the solid rocket boosters pushing the capital ship through the blindness of one-dimensional space. The training rooms were empty. The library was empty. The weight room was empty. The target range was empty. No one needed them, not for a fight of this magnitude.

What they needed was some cold, hard reflection.

********
 

I can't believe this is happening.

I treated this all as some game. Hell, everything has been a game, considering how fast every crucial fight in my life has ended so fast once I figured out my opponent's weakness. Wham, bam, he's gone. Raditz was vaporized. So was Frieza. But this has been a full-out war we've been fightning here. According to Ulty's mood about the fight awaiting us, the countless robotic soldiers of war we've destroyed so far.. all the android prototypes, compare nothing to this unstoppable threat.

"I have combated your type before and lost," 25 droned. "I will be sure not to make that mistake again."

Androids. Damned androids. I can see why Vegeta gets so pissed off at them sometimes. All it took for me to identify that rage was to picture them ravaging and pillaging the old third dimension, paving the way for Ultramagnus' invasion. It was all Ultramagnus' ideal that threw the third dimension into the chaos it is in today.. wait, what am I saying? That Ultramagnus is a villian? In that case, it looks like another challenge for Goku! These types of assholes have attempted to destroy/invade Earth before.. what makes Ultramagnus different than someone like Frieza or Cell? There has to be a weakness to him somewhere! I'd be damned if this third dimension wasn't going to get some retribution on my part!

Finally gathering what courage Goku was known for, he stood to his feet and headed for the training room. Like hell he was going to fall out of shape for a challenge like this.

********

The rec room was completely silent, save for the occaisional cheer from the computer tables. While Agumon, Armadillomon, Tentomon, Gabumon, Biyomon and Joe sat on the computers, enjoying the last match of Quake 3 they knew they would probably ever have, the other digidestined, Veemon, Gatomon and Gomamon sat in a circle based around the couch in front of the television. A small stereo in the corner of the room churned out classical music.

Sora broke the unusual quietness. "Gomamon? Why aren't you playing with Joe and them?"

Gomamon examined his flippers, sadly. "I can't play with appendages like these. Besides, there's no computers left."

"Veemon, Gatomon? What are you doing here?"

Veemon stared emotionless at the floor. "We have something to fight for too." Gatomon nodded.

Sora grinned. "Oh, yeah, you're the two lovebirds. I forgot." She gave Veemon an exaggerated noogie.

"This is some ship your friend Ultimanium's got," Matt said, bringing a hand down on his knee. "...geez, guys? What's with the radio silence already? It's not like Ultramagnus is going to hear us from here or something."

Easy for you to say. Ultramagnus has a full world under his control. He probably has found a way onto the Argetlahm, he's just keeping it secret to prolong the pandemonium.

As much as I've loved the entire Ultimatum experience, I'm kind of regretting it in a way. I mean, I got Kari and everything, a full-out fantasy of mine since I first entered the Digital World, but we have a new menace to deal with. I've never kind of looked at it until now, but we have Ultramagnus himself bearing down on us right now. I'm not sure exactly how long we'll keep going before he brings his big flabby fist down on us and crushes the entire resistance. Davis Motomiya is a courageous person. But some odds are just undeniable. Man, what's wrong with me....

TK glanced over to Davis, who now forming tears. "I can't take this anymore." TK groaned, burying his head in his hands.

Gatomon's eyes widened.

What is WRONG with you people?! We've never backed away from anything like this and we never will! I would normally just go along with you guys because YOU are the decision-makers but I have my own opinion now! Some time now there's going to be a new digi-egg among us and I just can't stand to see Ultramagnus destroy us even with that knowledge! Ultramagnus will not stop until every one of us is dead! Until every force in his way is dislodged and destroyed! We can't give up now! We.. ukk...

Gatomon sat up, some fury escaping through her face. "I'll be right back!.. aaaah... I'm going to the bathroom!" She leaped to her feet painfully and jogged out of the room.

Kari blinked. "She looked kind of sick there, didn't she?"

Veemon pushed himself to his feet. "I'll check."

Matt started whistling, before TK smacked him on the back of the head. "Quit it, Matt!" TK yelled. "This is serious! We could all die here!"

Tai shot up out of his seat, toppling over Cody. "I can't believe you all! What the fuck is wrong with all of you?!"

Sora rested a hand on Tai's shoulder. "..uh.. Tai... calm down..."

"I am NOT going to calm down! All of you have become such LOSERS since I last checked on you! Why the hell is Ultramagnus going to stop you? Davis! Why is Ultramagnus going to stop you?!" Tai strided over and yanked Davis up by the collar of his undershirt. "Why is Ultramagnus going to stop you?!?"

"Ultramagnus is too powerful!" Davis winced.

Oh my God. Did I just say that? What have I become? I'm not Davis Motomiya anymore... I'm...

"You damn pussy!!" Tai bellowed, throwing Davis back to the ground violently. "All of you! Tell me how powerful MaloMyotismon was! Too powerful? Okay! Ultramagnus is too powerful! How did MaloMyotismon become Too Powerful? You let your fears give in to you! Ultramagnus is just like that! Ultramagnus and MaloMyotismon are both Too Powerful? Than you can't give up, otherwise Ultramagnus will remain Too Powerful! MaloMyotismon was Too Powerful, and he was defeated, why not Ultramagnus?!"

Davis gulped. I remember now. This is just like before... And it's going to end like before!

Davis stood to his feet, a growl of demeanor on his face. "I know that you are all afraid, and so am I, but the more afraid you get, the stronger he gets! You've got to find the courage! You've got friends who will be there, and with your friends, there's no limit to what you can do! We've got to find the strength! Together, we can win! Watch the fight. We're down, beat up, and pummeled, but we aren't giving up. We can't win alone. If you're all too chicken, then why don't we just stop fighting and let him take over the world? If the whole planet won't fight for it's cause, we don't need freedom. You're only hurting yourselves! We're earth, and earth doesn't give up that easily! Remember all the fights and wars we've had. They weren't fighting for nothing! They were for freedom, for rights, for our own land and planet!"

Agumon watched as the Crest of Courage on Tai's chest pulsed wildly with orange energy. "Wow, that wasn't just a recital, that was from the heart!"

"Davis is right!" Tai yelled. "Are we going to sit here and let Ultramagnus take us lying down?! Or are we going to fight back and take this third dimension with everything we've got?!"

With a loud cheer, the answer was unaminous. As the seated group marched out the door, ready to head to Server to await their destiny, the computer people glanced over their monitors questioningly. Joe grinned. "I win. Let's go."

********

Conker stared into the men's room mirror with drooping eyes. It had been a long while since Conker regarded his own appearance during the last couple days, stranded on Server and all. Reaching up he shoved himself in the face with the wetted facecloth once again, sending another wave of refreshment across him.

I've always wondered. What am I doing here? I remember... Ultramagnus threw the disorganized Tediz against the kingdom... all of that was the J2's fault and a heartless Ultramagnus.. maybe I do have a heart. I mean, it's not like I could just sit there and watch the place and its people get blown to bits... ah, what the hell am I thinking, those two dumbass guards probably have the entire kingdom in an anarchy for all I know. So why do I truly want to get... that's it!

I want to get home! How the fuck did I miss that?! That's been my entire objective since I got out of the Cock and Plucker that night... and to think after a month I still haven't gotten anywhere near home...

One thing's for sure.. I know Ultramagnus' motives. And if he's allowed to get his way I'm not going to have a house to return to. Maybe I shouldn'tve talked to Ulty like that.. I guess I should head down to Server and apoligize..

Conker was turning for the door as he saw a somewhat pained Gatomon hurling herself through the door, clutching herself... oddly. "MOVE IT!!! BABY ON BOARD!!!" With obscene strength, Gatomon bodyslammed Conker out of the way, sending him into a urinal on the other side of the room. Gatomon threw herself into a stall and slammed the door shut.

"Hey, bitch!" Conker wailed. "This is the men's room!!"

"THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!! BITE ME!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

Conker winced at the sound of shattering porcelain that echoed throughout the vacant washroom. "...eh... that wasn't normal..."

Veemon threw open the bathroom door and darted in. "Hey! Conker! You seen Gato?"

Conker looked over his shoulder at the closed stall. "Right there. Is your bitch going into convulsions or something? Swear to God, she sounds like she's going to implode there!" With not so much as a word, Veemon shoved through Conker, sending him back into the urinal. Veemon ducked under the stall door and froze.

Conker sat still in the urinal as it flushed and water from the top of the device flowed gently onto his head. "Damn it."

"Eyyaaaaahh!!" Veemon wailed. "That's gross!" Conker couldn't see anything beyond the stall door, but for some reason he knew he didn't want to.

Conker rolled his eyes. "..guys? Doesn't anyone else know something's going on here?"

"HELL NO!! AAUUUUGGGGHH!!!"

"No," Veemon moaned. "I don't think so."

********

Ser ge sat out in the turbolift, leaning against the wall, as did Karsh and Kid. "..what do you think's going to happen from hereonin?"

Kid sat, sliding her dagger across a wetstone. "I'm gonna kick that Super Suhin's ass so hard he's gonna kiss the moons."

"Super Saiyan." Karsh corrected.

"Whatever! Someone's gonna die and I'll be damned if it ain't that asshole!" Kid scowled, before returning to sharpening her blade. Karsh held his ears from the acute grinding of the dagger.

Serge frowned.

Easy for you to say, but then again you were the one that got beaten down the most often, weren't you? The Time Devourer was happy with just screwing up dimensions royally. Ultramagnus takes them for his own purposes while leaving the dimensional structure unchecked. While Time Devourer consumes reality, Ultramagnus takes it and spits it back in your face. One thing's for sure, Ultramagnus could be very well even more difficult to defeat than Time Devourer, and he has a private army to boot.

But we are on the Chrono Cross' side, and we're going to beat Ultramagnus if it means he won't be the one to screw around with it. Isn't that right, Kid? At least you're going to be a bit energetic than me.

Serge stood. "C'mon, let's get moving. We're going back to Server and joining up with Ultimanium."

Kid threw her hands behind her and flipped herself to her feet. "Now THAT'S more like it! C'mon, Karsh! Let's finish this bitch-in-heat!"

Karsh rolled his eyes. "Whatever."

********

 

"What do you have?"

"Full house."

Heero tossed his cards on the table, scattering the deck. 3 aces and 2 kings. Duo scooped up the hand ungratefully and began shuffling the cards again. "Man, this sucks. Whoever writes this fic knows jack all about Gundam Wing."

"You're telling me," Heero sighed, as he dug through his cards. "The Argetlahm Adventures would be so much cooler if we could get Epyon, Sandrock and Heavyarms on the Argetlahm."

Duo nodded. "Yes, piloted by... that... weird Chinese kid with the sword... um... the blond whiny kid.... aw, hell, forget about it. We'll be able to get off this hunk of junk and remember everybody after the fic. C'mon, we got work to do."

Keyvan - But we don't get it anymore on our TV! Honest!

Duo waved to no one in particular. "Yeah, whatever. Maybe you should've thought about that before you added us in!"

Keyvan - I'm sorry, really. -_-'

Heero frowned. "This is the last fic I do of yours, swear to God."

Keyvan - Even if I pay you extra?

"Screw you," Duo began making his way over to the DeathHarvest. "Once Ultramagnus is dead I'm not starring in your sorry-ass fics anymore."

"What he said." Heero said, folding his arms.

Keyvan - No respect... no respect at all. >_<

********

Squall sat on his bunk, staring at the ground. On the top bunk lied Cloud.

If I'd never lived in New York, I've I'd never left Tifa... I wouldn't be in this mess right now. I would still have my Buster Sword. I wouldn't have to work with whiny teenagers. I would be the mercenary that I was meant to be, not some taskmaster for some weird guys with yellow hair and goth black outfits and weird shiny armor. I wouldn't be tangled up in this battle for the universe. Fragging Sepiroth was good enough for me, thanks.

But if saving the world is what I gotta do, then so be it. Keep in mind I'm not fighting for your sorry asses, no. I'm fighting to prolong myself. To keep myself ahead of the death that seems to follow me everywhere I turn... damn it, why does my life seem like a bunch of random battles? Watch out, Ultramagnus, you're going to have a pissed off Cloud bearing down on you soon. I want to get out of here and do something fun, and I mean it.

Cloud hopped off his bunk and grabbed his Rune Tooth, storming out the door. A confused Squall followed him.

********

"Push! Push!" Conker breathed. "Damn it, I'm no good at this."

Veemon brushed his brow off. "Well, geez, you've screwed Berri enough to have some sort of idea how to deal with something like this, right? Hey, is it me, or is it getting hot in here?"

Conker glared disturbingly at Veemon. "If we had this problem with a Rookie instead of a Champion we wouldn't be in this situation."

Gatomon glanced up from her lying down position, breathing heavily. "You guys done yet? I think I'm over the worst of it, but YYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!! ....Okay, here it goes..."

********

Davi s held up his D-Terminal. "Hey! Joe! We got a message for you here!"

Joe glance up from his computer. "Yeah, what?"

"It's from Veemon! He wanted to know if you do..." Davis blinked as a massive sweatdropped loomed over his head. "...emergency births."

"EMERGENCY BIRTHS?!??" came the reply from a nerve-stricken group of digimon and digidestined.

"Men's room, quick," Davis huffed, shoving Joe out the door and shutting it behind him. "Man, I do NOT like the sound of what's going on here."

********

Gohan stared at his... wall. Yes, Gohan, among other people, were bored silly waiting for their supposed deaths on Server below. With a yawn, Gohan stretched his arms out and rolled over... onto something.. hard. "Huh..." Gohan, still in a sleepy stupor, reached for the edge of the blanketing at the other side of the bunk and tore the sheets off. Gohan took the apparatus from the bare matress covering and examined it carefully.

"Funny..." Gohan mumbled, scratching his head. "It's like one of those pager-things Davis and his friends carry around... it's probably his. I'd better get it back to him before we leave for Server."

********

Joe and Izzy stopped at the men's room door and cupped their ears against it. A muffled yell was heard.

"Congratulations..." Conker stammered. "It's a... thing..."

Joe backed up and charged at the door, screaming. With a slam, Joe blasted the door down with his shoulder and raged in... and stopped where he was. Inside, Conker was indeed holding.. a thing. Veemon and Gatomon were wiping up a black mess on the ground with toilet paper.

Izzy lifted an eyebrow. "...what's.. going on... here?"

Conker nodded. "Well, first of all.." Conker was cut short as Gatomon kicked him in the back of the knee, sending him down.

Gatomon started twiddling her thumbs madly. "W-Well, it all started out like this... Conker was in here taking a crap..."

Conker looked up. "Huh? Gato, what are you.." Gatomon kicked him in the head and sent him down again. "Well, anyways, Conker was you-know-what and when he went to flush the toilet it plugged! Well, I heard this from out in the hall so me and Veemon entered to see what the problem was, me being the excellent plumber in the group, and to get the plug down I had to flush myself down the toilet and shove it further! Veemon held my feet when I went down... and um... um...." Gatomon vision danced inbetween Izzy and Joe. "W.. well, you get the picture. Anyways, you know what we found was plugging the toilet?"

Izzy looked somewhat confused. "...no."

Gatomon nabbed the digi-egg out of Conker's hands and shoved it towards Izzy. "A Digi-egg!"

Joe sweatdropped. "..a Digi-egg."

Conker grinned. "A Digi-egg!"

Veemon stuck his head out of the stall. "A Digi-egg!"

Izzy turned to Joe. "A Digi-egg?"

Joe nodded. "A Digi-egg."

Conker pointed to the object in Gatomon's hands. "A Digi-egg."

Izzy rubbed his chin. "A Digi-egg."

Everyone stared longingly at the Digi-egg. "A Digi-egg."

The Digi-egg shared properties of both the Courage and Light Digi-eggs, if you haven't guessed by now. It shared the red-orange stripe pattern of the Courage but in the pink-purple colours of Love. The blade on the front was slightly shorter, and the wings on the side arced out slightly. Before anybody could say anything more, the egg jolted slightly in Gatomon's hands. A fissure formed down the side of it.

Izzy blinked. "What? It's hatching already?"

The egg burst with a small temporary shower of red and pink light, subsiding almost instantaneously.

Out bounded a Demiveemon.

Veemon's jaw dropped. A SON?!?

Izzy quickly looked down. "Impossible! Why would a Digi-egg hatch now? It's not supposed to do that until it gets to the nursery!"

Joe grit his teeth. "Have there been any other occurances?"

"Only when it's an emergency, like a dark force or something, and nearby there's..."

Everybody stopped.

"...another Digidestined?!"

Gohan walked in. "Hey, guys. Have you seen Davis? I think he left his pager-thing in my bunk. Anyways, I WHAAA!!" Gohan stepped and slipped on the black liquid scattered on the floor, sending the D3 in the air and landing face-down. A button depressed.

Demiveemon... digivolve to...
OMEGAVEEMON!

"WHAA!!" Izzy wailed, whipping his laptop off his back and moving his finger across the touchpad. The monitor blinked on instantly. "There's a massive power surge eminating from this digimon! It's power is incredible! There's no way in hell this could be a Rookie! Wait a second, I have to analyze its DNA... I have to check something here.."

"Now you're in for it," Conker whispered to Gatomon.

"Something's not right here," Izzy hummed. "It's like Veemon and Gatomon's DNA has been forced together. I had no idea this was possible! I don't think I've seen any case when Lizard and Angel type digimon were combined! Do you have any idea what power this digimon contains... with the strength of the Lizard.. and the magical aptitude of the Angel... this thing would be absolutely unstoppable if it digivolved further!"

Joe blinked. He had gotten the point, unlike Izzy, who still rambled on about the "almighty power" that this digimon contained. "Veemon? And Gatomon? Say, Veemon was talking about an emergency birth in his message... were you two..."

Veemon and Gatomon shook their heads.

With the formal introductions out of the way, everybody turned to face Omegaveemon. Omegaveemon looked exactly like Veemon, though a bit shorter, and he was covered in an omnious gloss of gold shine - a tribute to power and the gift of the Angel.

"Um... Gohan?" Joe asked, adjusting his specs. "Where exactly did you find your D3?"

Gohan stood to his feet, grasping the digivice in his hand. "Is that what you call these? Under my covers, why?"

Izzy snatched the D3 from Gohan's unaware hands. "This isn't Davis'. This is yours." Izzy handed the device back to an even more confused Gohan.

"Huh?"

Conker stood to his feet, brushing himself off. "I guess Veemon and Gatomon's little business here was our ace in the hole - we were able to detect that Gohan was a digidestined when his digimon arrived and he found a D3 by some bizzare chance."

Gohan twitched. "Digidestined?"

Veemon nodded. "Davis is a digidestined. TK is a digidestined. They all have guardian digimon. I think yours still wants to get to know you..."

Omegaveemon shot forward in a blink of an eye, too fast for even Gohan to trace, and wrapped himself around Gohan's leg. "Guardian digimon, reporting for duty."

********

"Guardian digimon? What's going on here?"

"I'd like you to meet Gohan." Izzy stated.

"We already did, thanks." Tai sighed.

"..the digidestined."

Everybody in the rec room face faulted.

"GOHAN is a DIGIDESTINED?!" Davis bellowed. "I'M the one with Veemon, thank you very much!"

Conker grinned. "We have more help! How about that? Look here, everybody, an hour's nearly up and we need to know if we're going to head down to Server and kick some ass, or stay up here and get wasted?"

Silence took the room once again, as past decisions came back to haunt them.

Tai threw his arm up. "We're going forward! Ultramagnus is no better than MaloMyotismon and CAN and HAS to be stopped!"

Serge held the Setra Weapon to his face. "The Chrono Cross is in great peril. If Ultramagnus is allowed to activate it there will be no homes to return to. We have to make a stand now, and now."

Conker grit his teeth. "I want to go home already, how about you guys?"

Vegeta folded his arms, threw his head back and let out a hearty laugh. "No tyrant will match up to the TRUE Saiyan warriors, me, Kakarot and the child! We will return this day victorious!!"

Heero flung the door open. "Let's get this over with!!"

Cloud frowned. "I'm bored. Let's go down to Server and find something to do, like kick ass."

"Yeeeeeeah!!" Rodent squealed.

Berri and Kid threw out victory poses. "Yeah, let's, like, waste that fag!"

Squall swung the Lionheart in an arc before placing it on his shoulder. "Swords will be true to me this day."

Blackwargreymon slashed forth with his claw. "We shall be the winners."

Piedmon, Daemon, Puppetmon and Digitomamon all linked arms. "Weeeee are the champions, my frieeend..."

"What are we waiting for then?!" Goku yelled. "Let's go!!"

Davis bounded off the floor. "You heard the guy! We have work to do!!"

With a final victory roar, the entire group charged toward the computers, a digiport opened by TK. As everybody piled through the expansive gate, they couldn't be bothered to think of their own demises. They were going to win.

 

 

 

Server Continent - Northlands
Day 18, 5:25 PM

Ultimanium paced back and forth, restless. Maybe that wasn't the best thing to do. Tell them of their own deaths than let them go. If they don't come back, I don't really see point in advancing any further either. What can I do though? Ultimanium gave the tundra around him one final look before gazing down on the ground, his vision not to be adjusted again. They're not coming.

"Ulty!! Raul! Magnus! No way in hell you're leaving without us!!"

Magnus grinned as he waved to the charging group off in the distance. "Looks like the welcome wagon is here!"

Ultimanium jumped. "HUH?!? Everybody?! What are you doing here? You're supposed to be gone!"

Vegeta grabbed Ultimanium by the collar. "Alright, listen up, there is no way in hell I am going to walk away from a fight this caliber! The Saiyans work for a true test of skills, and I have found it! We are coming with you whether you like it or not!"

Goku nodded. "Every step of the way, Ulty."

Davis lept forward. "Let's finish this!"

The DeathHarvest and the Wing Zeromus both loomed over the group. "We're going to do this one last time." Duo said.

Ultimanium sat in a moment of silence before speaking again. "Alright. Let's go. And hurry up." As he turned to advance, a grin spread across his, Magnus' and Raul's faces. The posse is back in business. Watch out, Ultramagnus, you're going to get a fight you'll never forget.

Omegaveemon continued alongside the group, closest to the digidestined Gohan. Omegaveemon was created in the fusion of Courage and Light - two of many forces that, throughout the trials of time, have reigned high as the most powerful. The Courage to create the Light. It was an undeniable bond. Veemon and Gatomon knew that.

And that legendary power was contained within Omegaveemon.

What hazards will approach the reunited Argetlahm crew as they make their way onto Epoch Rock? Will Ultramagnus truly be defeated? What surprises does Omegaveemon have in store for the group?
