The digidestined quickly backed off from the brawl in the center and arranged themselves in a line, aside their friends.
"Goku!" Kari yelped. "Get out of there!"
Goku sprinted through the chaos to Gohan, off in the far corner. Gohan was mesmerized by the massive conflict in front of him, and it was up to Goku to knock him back into his senses.
Zidane stepped in front of him and delivered a lightning-fast hook to Goku's gut. "You're not going anywhere!!"
Goku -8 HP
This stopped Goku. Zidane barreled forward with the Ultima Weapon and took a swipe at Goku. Goku leaped back and dove straight at Zidane, arms flailing. A rocket punch to Zidane's face sent him flying back.
Zidane -24 HP
Goku strafed away from where he stood, in time to dodge the massive foot of the Deathscythe that crashed down. He shot forward to the distracted Gohan.
Gohan glanced forward, to get nailed in the face with the flying boot of Goku. Gohan shot backward across the ground, leaving a trail crater in his wake. Gohan quickly leaped back into action with a somersault and dashed back to Goku.
Gohan -30 HP
Goku and Gohan locked in a blazing-fast fistfight. All the others could see was a blur where they stood.
Krillin poked his head out of the crowd. "Trunks! Where the hell di *KRUNCH*
Exveemon drove a fist into the side of Krillin's head, sending him rolling. Trunks dropped out behind Exveemon and dropkicked him, sending him down. Trunks trapped him beneath his legs and threw a volley of punches at the immoblie Exveemon.
Krillin -18 HP
Exveemon -41 HP
Davis leapt forward. "Damn it, Vee! You're supposed to be back there!!"
Trunks disembarked to dodge Davis' arcing Buster Sword. Davis, in a rage, swung the blade wildly in front of him. A massive slash followed.
Trunks leapt back and stumbled. He fell to the ground and began to retreat, flipping back to escape the homicidal Davis. When he stopped, he began to feel the pain. A massive slash embraced his shoulder.
"How the hell..? I should ... eh..ow... be more careful."
Trunks -24 HP
Autocannon fire from the Wing Zero tore through the middle of the group, splitting it into two. There were some exceptions, though.
Mimi hit the ground. "AAAhhhh.... damn it!!"
Lillymon began to drag the incapacitated Mimi out of the mayhem. "What happened?" The digimon spotted the torn flesh on Mimi's side. "No way! You can't die! Getting clipped by bullets can't kill a person..."
As fast as Lillymon started speaking, a light blue aura surrounded Mimi. Lillymon dropped her and reeled back. "What.."
"Curaga!" Squall yelled.
Mimi feeled where the bullet had hit. Nope, nothing there. She was healed.
Squall was sacked by the affectionate, sobbing Mimi. "T-th-thank... you."
Squall flipkicked Mimi off him. "I'm prolonging our team, and nothing more."
Mimi rolled to a stop. "..ow."
Mimi -1 HP
Another wave of autocannon fire sent everybody running. "Whahahahah!!"
"Heero, you're having too much fun with this." Duo sighed.
Duo went to speak again until a pissed-off Vegeta careened into the hull of the Deathscythe with a heavy kick, sending the mobile suit stumbling back.
"Duo! You all right there?"
Duo climbed back into his seat. "I.. I guess so. Some of the arrays were kind of jarred, though. I don't think I'm going to be getting 100% reliable readings for a while."
The chest plate of the Deathscythe was starting to show damage. Another kick to the leg courtesy of Vegeta sent the mobile suit toppling to the ground.
"Bucket of bolts!!" Vegeta screamed.
KRAAASSSHHH
Gundam Deathscythe -243 HP
The digimon lined up outside the brawl.
"Are we ready?!"
"Hit it!"
"V-Laser!!"
"Terra Force!!"
"Star Shower!!"
"Celestial Arrow!!"
"Gold Rush!!"
"Twin Blade!!"
A flurry of projectiles bombarded the group in the mass brawl. Many of them stumbled away to continue the fight in their privacy.
Krillin -45 HP
Trunks -34 HP
Zidane -24 HP
Davis -9 HP
Davis limped out of the wreckage. "Watch it!!"
Exveemon sweatdropped. "Um... when were you a melee fighter?"
Off in the distance, Goku and Gohan fought for control of a ki blast. Goku knocked it away and sent it flying into the Wing Zero, blowing off its arm.
Heero fell over in his seat. "DAMN!!"
Gundam Wing Zero -333 HP
The Deathscythe rose its arm up. The Buster Rifle started charging.
"Hit the deck!!" Cloud screeched.
The massive laser scorched over them, blasting apart a celing support.
A piece of granite nailed Stingmon in the back. "Yaaahhh!!"
Stingmon -56 HP
"We aren't going to last!!" Ken yelled. "We have to do something, and fast!!"
Trunks backhanded Vegeta and sent him sprawling.
Vegeta -23 HP
Davis lifed up the Buster Sword. "Materia... how do you work materia?"
As Davis focused on realizing the Materia's properties, they began to glow. "Cure... and something else... so that's how you analyze materia? Just think about it?" Easy enough for me."
As Kari fought through the wreckage ahead of her, a loose punch from Vegeta nailed her in the side and knocked her down.
Kari -32 HP
"Kari!!" TK and Davis yelled.
"Stand back, Davis, I'll help her." TK announced.
"Shut the hell up, TZ, I'm the one with the Cure."
Davis drilled TK in the face and began running to Kari.
TK -3 HP
Gohan worked on dodging another swarm of assaults from his father while talking. "Why.. ar...e... we.... on .... opp....si...te.. tea....ms.."
"Practice, Gohan. Practice." Goku laughed. That stopped when Gohan broke through and delivered a roundhouse punch to Goku's face, stunning him. Gohan started hammering on Goku's gut and kicked him in the face, sending him flying into the crowd.
Goku -84 HP
"DNA DIGIVOLVE!! NOW!!" TK yelled.
Exveemon and Stingmon ran at each other and merged. Where they once stood the super Digimon Paildramon emerged. They swung their autocannons in front of them and started firing.
"Desperado Blaster!!" They yelled.
The loose energy bolts from the attack chipped away at the Wing Zero. Pieces of shrapnel flew off and pelted the digidestined in the scrap below.
"Ow!" Tai yelled. Another piece of metal bounced off his head. "Damn it! Watch it!"
Tai -5 HP
Gundam Wing Zero -114 HP
"I have to figure out how this thing works!" Gohan yelled. While he could hold off Goku present tense, there was no way he could keep up the battle for long. He fiddled with the controls of the Scouter Plus. Then it hit him.
Gohan grinned. He whipped around and scanned Ultimanium.
Ultimanium clapped. "Glad you figured it out."
Gohan instantly felt a surge of energy within him. The absorbing properties of the scouter had finally started to work. Ultimanium shipped a small pulse of power to Gohan.
Gohan +600 HP
"DNA DIGIVOLVES, PEOPLE!! KEEP 'EM COMING!!"
Digmon quickly de-digivolved, as did Pegasusmon. They, too, ran together and connected. With another flash, the mech-like Shakkuramon stood tall alongside the Gundams.
"What the fuck is that?!" Duo shouted.
Davis focused his energy on the small green orb within the Buster Sword. "ULTIMA!!"
"Uh oh," Cloud moaned. "I was figuring I shouldnt've left that in there."
A massive green explosion erupted in the middle of the arena, sending everyone back.
Gundam Wing Zero -450 HP
Gundam Deathscythe -344 HP
Vegeta -134 HP
Trunks -198 HP
"Heero!!" Duo screamed. "Use the Buster Rifle! You aren't going to get another chance!!"
Hooooooonnkkk
The timer on the display went off.
Ultimanium hovered down into the middle of the arena. "Time's up, guys. Round two begins in 10 minutes. Go back to the dressing rooms and have a rest."

Kari stumbled down the hall, supported by an overzealous Davis.
"C'mon. A little ways to the dressing room." Davis sighed.
".... I can't believe this." Kari mumbled. She would normally get up and walk away, but felt that she couldn't. While the punch from Vegeta left her fairly unharmed, the nasty landing she made did some damage to her left leg.
Gatomon ran up. "Kari! Are you all right?"
"Yeah.. I guess so..."
Gatomon, curious, pushed inwards on Kari's knee.
"YAAAAHHHH!! OOOOOwww...."
"Oh man..." Ken moaned. "This isn't good. She's broken something, definately. Kari, I think it would be a good idea if you sat out for the remainder of the fight."
"....Ken.... you're right."
"But if you do step out..." Gatomon said, nervous. "Who'll digivolve me?"
"Davis will."
Davis nearly backed off from Kari, but couldn't let go and let her fall. "Whaa?!"
With her free hand, Kari unclipped the D3 from her belt and handed it to Davis. "Here. Use this. Gatomon, can you listen to Davis for a while?"
Gatomon woke up and nodded. "...sure... I guess.."
"Does that mean we live together?" Veemon snickered. Gatomon slapped him in the back of the head.
Davis reluctantly accepted the digivice. "But I thought you only could..."
"Davis, .... I believe you can do this. Quite frankly, this entire trip has made me look at a side of you I've never seen before."
Davis blushed. TK walked by and smacked Davis in the back of the head.
The power level counter on the scoreboard went back into action.
Davis -1 HP
Tai walked out of the dressing room. "Actually, come to think of it, what are WE doing on the battlefield? There's not much we can do out there..."
"Point being?" Cody asked.
"I wouldn't mind a little reassurance out there, that's for sure." Armadillomon said.
"If anyone else steps out there.. well... you see my sister... I'll be staying in here to take care of her. Agumon, can you Warp Digivolve when you're out in the arena?"
Agumon nodded. "I'll see what I can do."
Ken sulked. "....you're right. Wormmon?"
"I'll try." Wormmon hummed.
"I'm not going out there again if goggle-head drills his own team member like that again." TK complained.
"Like you were going to do anything, TA!" Davis yelled.
"It's settled," Sora said. "We'll wait in here and let our Digimon handle it."
"Not us." Veemon said, standing proud.
"... Davis? Why are you going out there? You could get killed!"
"I'M the melee fighter of the group. I have a bigass sword and some magic on my side. If I have anything that'll tip the scales in favor of us, then I'll be seeing to it!" Davis shouted.
"Are you sure?"
"Definite."
Tai looked around at the group. "If you're going out there..."
Cody frowned. "And we're staying here..."
A pile of digivices accumulated at Davis' feet.
Davis sweatdropped. "...you're kidding..."
Wormmon tugged at Davis. "We're all here for you, Davis."
Gatomon punched out into open air. "We'll fight it out."
Veemon smiled. "We're set then."
********
Heero crept toward the downed Wing Zero, to get chased away again by a shower of sparks. It didn't look like the Wing Zero would hold together during the next round.
Heero threw down his welding mask. "This is never going to work."
Duo finished touching up the chestplate of the Deathscythe. While it still looked pretty banged up, Duo had managed to hammer out the surrounding metal plates to form a makeshift emblem on the front of the mobile suit.
Gundam Deathscythe -50 HP
"That's not helping the infrastructure of it any." Heero sighed.
"If we have to go down, we're doing it in style," Duo laughed. "Alright. Next round, first thing, use the Buster Rifle. The rate you're taking heat, it may be your only chance to use it."
Heero sat down and looked down the sides of the laid-down Gundams. One arm was losing power fast. The wires from it dangled down the side of the mobile suit and spat sparks at anyone foolhardy enough to get close. On the other side was the Buster Rifle Mk.II. Surprisingly, it hadn't taken a single hit during the previous match.
"That's funny..." Heero said, eyeing the cannon suspiciously. "I swear that part got hit.."
"Hey, we're not complaining."
Duo drilled another screw into the leg and fastened a loose plate of steel onto it.
"Ah, forget it," Duo groaned. "I have a better idea."
Duo reached into his pocket and took out a small palm-sized remote. He pressed a button on it. Several large circular metal plates hovered out of a slot on the back of the Gundam and positioned themselves in the air. They crackled with energy and hummed to life.
"Duo! Those aren't..."
Duo grinned. "Spare Mobile Dol parts. The shielding should keep us going a little while longer. As long as you stay close to me, you won't have anything to worry about."
"It's not that... when did you install them?"
Keyvan : No, I did, in the past 5 minutes.
"Really?"
Keyvan : Yeah, your arm being blown off and all brought a tear to my eye.
Heero sweatdropped. "...okay."
********
Trunks collapsed onto a bench in the dressing room, as did Krillin and Gohan.
"Hey, Krillin, are you going to be alright?" Gohan asked.
Krillin supported the side of his head with a wet towel. A large bruise embraced the side of his cranium. "Yeah, I think I'm fine," he winced. "Just a flesh wound."
"How about you, Trunks? Trunks?"
Trunks frowned and looked up to Krillin and Gohan. "Something's wrong here."
Gohan shrugged. "I don't know what's so wrong. Everybody's putting out a good fight."
Trunks stood up and adjusted his armor. "Right. TOO good. Everybody here is putting out an abnormal amount of Ki. I think we're going into run into trouble if we keep going like this. We have to be tougher next round if we hope to live through this."
Krillin rubbed the back of his head. "And we still have to worry about Goku and Vegeta."
Trunks sat down again. "That's not much of a problem. It's just a power level issue we have to worry about there. But these other people.. we have to devise a new strategy to get rid of them."
Goku placed his hand on Gohan's shoulder. "That was great out there."
Gohan whipped around and stared up at his father. "Dad?"
Goku smiled. "I just stopped by to congratulate you. You were doing great against me. Let's see if you can keep it up another round. Later."
Goku turned and left.
Gohan grit his teeth. Could he keep going against his Super Saiyan father and come out on top?
********
Squall pushed Mimi away. Again.
"Geez, what's the deal?" Mimi yelped. "I just want to..."
"Yeah, whatever. You're not getting my drift here. I wasn't talking about that, it's just that we need a new plan of attack. Do you have any suggestions as to who we should be going after?"
Mimi gave a flirtatious wink. "I know who I'M going after."
Squall rolled his eyes.
Lillymon pointed. "Hey, it's that funny-haired guy over there!"
Vegeta sat at the far edge of the arena, throwing randomly placed punches and kicks into midair.
Lillymon waved. "Hey, man! What's up, shadow boxing?"
Vegeta stopped and slowly turned to the group. "I'm training. Stop bothering me."
"Someone who trains while fighting," Squall sighed. "Can't say I've seen that before."
********
In the last remaining dressing room in the facility, Cloud and Zidane sat in heated argument.
"Shush."
"Shut up."
"Shut up, bitch."
"Shut the hell up, bitch."
"Why the hell are YOU so pissed off?" Cloud yelled. "You just toss up your X-Potion, and WHAZAM! You're back to your self! I lost my sword, and tossing an X-Potion up and shouting WHAZAM can't bring that back."
Zidane pointed at Cloud. "You ass, getting slashed across the chest is a DISGRACE for someone like me! No true warrior suffers injury and admits it! I'll never retain my true self... while losing a sword is an accident!"
Cloud dived at Zidane and they were ready to rip each other's heads off when the siren sounded in the arena. It was time.
********
Davis trudged out into the arena, with Digimon lined up alongside him on both sides.
*Keyvan pushes the Stop button, plays the scene in slow-mo and dubs in the Matrix theme*
Keyvan : (Puts arms up behind his head) That's better.
Davis : Sweeeet...
Veemon : Booya!
*Everyone else boos Keyvan*
"Just wondering," Armadillomon sighed. "Do you even have a plan?"
"Yeah, I do." Davis responded.
Vegeta folded his arms. "It's about time. Well, child, are you ready to continue this?"
The Gundams hummed to life and stepped forward. "Evasive manouvers, on my mark.." Heero growled.
Trunks, Gohan and Krillin braced themselves.
Zidane and Cloud stood ready. This time they were going to join in.
A loud squeal followed by a deep hum filled the arena.
"Heero?" Duo laughed. "That's kind of early, huh?"
"He's using the arm cannon!" Trunks yelled.
FIGHT!!
"Goku!" Kari yelped. "Get out of there!"
Goku sprinted through the chaos to Gohan, off in the far corner. Gohan was mesmerized by the massive conflict in front of him, and it was up to Goku to knock him back into his senses.
Zidane stepped in front of him and delivered a lightning-fast hook to Goku's gut. "You're not going anywhere!!"

A flurry of projectiles bombarded the group in the mass brawl. Many of them stumbled away to continue the fight in their privacy.

Kari -32 HP
"Kari!!" TK and Davis yelled.
"Stand back, Davis, I'll help her." TK announced.
"Shut the hell up, TZ, I'm the one with the Cure."
Davis drilled TK in the face and began running to Kari.
TK -3 HP
Gohan worked on dodging another swarm of assaults from his father while talking. "Why.. ar...e... we.... on .... opp....si...te.. tea....ms.."

"I wouldn't mind a little reassurance out there, that's for sure." Armadillomon said.
"If anyone else steps out there.. well... you see my sister... I'll be staying in here to take care of her. Agumon, can you Warp Digivolve when you're out in the arena?"
Agumon nodded. "I'll see what I can do."
Ken sulked. "....you're right. Wormmon?"
"I'll try." Wormmon hummed.
"I'm not going out there again if goggle-head drills his own team member like that again." TK complained.
"Like you were going to do anything, TA!" Davis yelled.
"It's settled," Sora said. "We'll wait in here and let our Digimon handle it."
"Not us." Veemon said, standing proud.
"... Davis? Why are you going out there? You could get killed!"
"I'M the melee fighter of the group. I have a bigass sword and some magic on my side. If I have anything that'll tip the scales in favor of us, then I'll be seeing to it!" Davis shouted.
"Are you sure?"
"Definite."
Tai looked around at the group. "If you're going out there..."
Cody frowned. "And we're staying here..."
A pile of digivices accumulated at Davis' feet.
Davis sweatdropped. "...you're kidding..."
Wormmon tugged at Davis. "We're all here for you, Davis."
Gatomon punched out into open air. "We'll fight it out."
Veemon smiled. "We're set then."

Heero crept toward the downed Wing Zero, to get chased away again by a shower of sparks. It didn't look like the Wing Zero would hold together during the next round.
Heero threw down his welding mask. "This is never going to work."
Duo finished touching up the chestplate of the Deathscythe. While it still looked pretty banged up, Duo had managed to hammer out the surrounding metal plates to form a makeshift emblem on the front of the mobile suit.
Gundam Deathscythe -50 HP
"That's not helping the infrastructure of it any." Heero sighed.
"If we have to go down, we're doing it in style," Duo laughed. "Alright. Next round, first thing, use the Buster Rifle. The rate you're taking heat, it may be your only chance to use it."
Heero sat down and looked down the sides of the laid-down Gundams. One arm was losing power fast. The wires from it dangled down the side of the mobile suit and spat sparks at anyone foolhardy enough to get close. On the other side was the Buster Rifle Mk.II. Surprisingly, it hadn't taken a single hit during the previous match.
"That's funny..." Heero said, eyeing the cannon suspiciously. "I swear that part got hit.."
"Hey, we're not complaining."
Duo drilled another screw into the leg and fastened a loose plate of steel onto it.
"Ah, forget it," Duo groaned. "I have a better idea."
Duo reached into his pocket and took out a small palm-sized remote. He pressed a button on it. Several large circular metal plates hovered out of a slot on the back of the Gundam and positioned themselves in the air. They crackled with energy and hummed to life.
"Duo! Those aren't..."
Duo grinned. "Spare Mobile Dol parts. The shielding should keep us going a little while longer. As long as you stay close to me, you won't have anything to worry about."
"It's not that... when did you install them?"
Keyvan : No, I did, in the past 5 minutes.
"Really?"
Keyvan : Yeah, your arm being blown off and all brought a tear to my eye.
Heero sweatdropped. "...okay."
********
Trunks collapsed onto a bench in the dressing room, as did Krillin and Gohan.
"Hey, Krillin, are you going to be alright?" Gohan asked.
Krillin supported the side of his head with a wet towel. A large bruise embraced the side of his cranium. "Yeah, I think I'm fine," he winced. "Just a flesh wound."
"How about you, Trunks? Trunks?"
Trunks frowned and looked up to Krillin and Gohan. "Something's wrong here."
Gohan shrugged. "I don't know what's so wrong. Everybody's putting out a good fight."
Trunks stood up and adjusted his armor. "Right. TOO good. Everybody here is putting out an abnormal amount of Ki. I think we're going into run into trouble if we keep going like this. We have to be tougher next round if we hope to live through this."
Krillin rubbed the back of his head. "And we still have to worry about Goku and Vegeta."
Trunks sat down again. "That's not much of a problem. It's just a power level issue we have to worry about there. But these other people.. we have to devise a new strategy to get rid of them."
Goku placed his hand on Gohan's shoulder. "That was great out there."
Gohan whipped around and stared up at his father. "Dad?"
Goku smiled. "I just stopped by to congratulate you. You were doing great against me. Let's see if you can keep it up another round. Later."
Goku turned and left.
Gohan grit his teeth. Could he keep going against his Super Saiyan father and come out on top?
********
Squall pushed Mimi away. Again.
"Geez, what's the deal?" Mimi yelped. "I just want to..."
"Yeah, whatever. You're not getting my drift here. I wasn't talking about that, it's just that we need a new plan of attack. Do you have any suggestions as to who we should be going after?"
Mimi gave a flirtatious wink. "I know who I'M going after."
Squall rolled his eyes.
Lillymon pointed. "Hey, it's that funny-haired guy over there!"
Vegeta sat at the far edge of the arena, throwing randomly placed punches and kicks into midair.
Lillymon waved. "Hey, man! What's up, shadow boxing?"
Vegeta stopped and slowly turned to the group. "I'm training. Stop bothering me."
"Someone who trains while fighting," Squall sighed. "Can't say I've seen that before."
********
In the last remaining dressing room in the facility, Cloud and Zidane sat in heated argument.
"Shush."
"Shut up."
"Shut up, bitch."
"Shut the hell up, bitch."
"Why the hell are YOU so pissed off?" Cloud yelled. "You just toss up your X-Potion, and WHAZAM! You're back to your self! I lost my sword, and tossing an X-Potion up and shouting WHAZAM can't bring that back."
Zidane pointed at Cloud. "You ass, getting slashed across the chest is a DISGRACE for someone like me! No true warrior suffers injury and admits it! I'll never retain my true self... while losing a sword is an accident!"
Cloud dived at Zidane and they were ready to rip each other's heads off when the siren sounded in the arena. It was time.
********
Davis trudged out into the arena, with Digimon lined up alongside him on both sides.
*Keyvan pushes the Stop button, plays the scene in slow-mo and dubs in the Matrix theme*
Keyvan : (Puts arms up behind his head) That's better.
Davis : Sweeeet...
Veemon : Booya!
*Everyone else boos Keyvan*
"Just wondering," Armadillomon sighed. "Do you even have a plan?"
"Yeah, I do." Davis responded.
Vegeta folded his arms. "It's about time. Well, child, are you ready to continue this?"
The Gundams hummed to life and stepped forward. "Evasive manouvers, on my mark.." Heero growled.
Trunks, Gohan and Krillin braced themselves.
Zidane and Cloud stood ready. This time they were going to join in.
A loud squeal followed by a deep hum filled the arena.
"Heero?" Duo laughed. "That's kind of early, huh?"
"He's using the arm cannon!" Trunks yelled.
FIGHT!!
