(A/N- And so, it begins here in the second part of the 3-part finale. The final confrontation with The Nixel Armada and Regulusmon in Neowise has begun at last, but Gulus manages to notice something out of the ordinary the moment he's willingly set loose by Gammamon that will change everything. The Devourer of Space's true past as the Midnight Killer comes to light, all while all manners of the unthinkable all begins to happen in the second-to-final chapter of Mixels Ghost Game; Genesis of Worlds!)

'The Digimon, the Mixels, and countless other innocent lifeforms have all begun taking refuge in places all across the globe. Human society is in complete and total anarchy after all digital technology had stopped working, excluding the D-Vigors and the Rainbow Pendits, as well as Society now trying to fight back against the Nixel Armada alongside the stranded Digimon. And now, with the aid of Kuzuhamon, Lillithmon, and the Lords in Black, Casey, Henry, Camilla, Gammamon, and all their friends have traveled to the Digital World- Or at least, what remains of it, as well as Mixel Land, the Mixel Moon, and Mixopolis. In other words, a dimension that holds the remains of devoured worlds known only as Neowise- To not only uncover the truth, but to also confront not only Major Nixel and King Nixel, but also Regulusmon, to restore the home worlds of both Mixelkind, and the Digimon to their former glory... All by making the predictions buried within the prophecy a reality, as the final battle begins, but not before they confront one last opponent...'

___________________________________________________________________________

"Go no further." BloomLordmon said, pointing his spear at all 114 heroes that stood before him and the tower that was slowly collapsing apart at the seams. "The path that you seek is the one that none may tread." He ominously said, his eyes gleaming with an ugly grey light, before clutching his head, the blue light of his eyes returning. "Grh... Humans, Mixels, and..." His eyes then landed on Betel Gammamon, as they then narrowed. "... The descendants of the Devourer..." He muttered, as Betel only snarled. "My big brother and I have names, you know!" He bared his fangs, as Casey stepped forward. "A whole bunch of Digimon, Mixels, and other creatures from across multiple universes have taken refuge on Earth. So many people are confused after devices such as computers and phones had stopped working back home in our world." She explained, as Amber stepped forward, and held onto her best friend's hand. "Everyone who ended up in our world is feeling homesick and confused because of what Regulusmon has done, devouring their homes and letting whatever remains end up in this crazy, backwards dimension!" She said, as Symbare Angoramon nodded, stepping forth. "We're going to take Regulusmon on in his own turf, make the prophecy of the Rising Sun come true, and bring our worlds back, as well as get them and the other devoured worlds, out of Neowise!"

Casey looked over at the two of them, and then nodded as Henry stepped forth. "Our dad said that there's some sort of entity helping those who end up in Neowise escape to Ea-" He tried to say, before BloomLordmon tapped the bottom of his staff against the ground, creating a shockwave that, luckily, didn't push anyone back, but it did create several cracks in the ground. Flain stepped forward, not about to back down. He had come so far since he ended up in the Human World, from it starting out with it all coming down to just being him, Vulk, Zorch, and Gammamon, to Everymixel reuniting, all thanks to the efforts of the humans they had partnered up with, as well as all the help they had received from Symbare Angoramon, Tesla Jellymon, Yaksamon, and Hover Espimon. "Someone IS sending Digimon and all sorts of other forms of life to Earth from within Neowise, isn't there?" The leader of the Infernites asked, crossing his arms, as BloomLordmon loosened his grip on his spear, no longer pointing it at the group. "Suppose that someone within this pocket dimension is doing just that. What would you and your amigos do, little Pheonix chick?" The Mega level Digimon asked, getting down on one knee to match up to Flain's height. "Why send us, the Digimon, and all those countless other creatures who had their worlds devoured by Regulusmon to Earth? What's happening to our worlds while their remains are trapped here in Neowise? Would they help us fight the Devourer of Space? We'd talk to them!" The leader of the Infernites tried to say, before the grey light returned came back, as he clutched his head. "N-No..." He groaned in pain. "I may be fighting against the mental poison that comes with being Nixed, but I will protect what remains of the colorful world's God... Who has focused on saving all those who end up in Neowise to bring forth a new chance at life without having to fret about the worst possible outcome..." He then narrowed his eyes as he glanced at Betel Gammamon. "It seems that you and your friends haven't yet been infected by your father's poison... Be that as it may, children, and..." He then noticed Camilla, Kaitlyn, Bianca, and Lucas. "... Adults, if any of you even as much as move an inch closer to me... I won't hesitate to attack!" He said, pointing his spear at the Chosen Ones once more. Flain only sighed. "Well, nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition, but you know what else nobody expects? Legendary heroes! Guys, let's do this!" He said, turning around to face everyone else, as they nodded, as the 4 champion Digimon all digivolved into their ultimate forms, and then straight to Mega, while most of the Mixels either mixed or maxed, while both branches of the Infernites, Frosticons, and the Glorp Corp Giga-Maxed, as did the Wiztastics and Munchos.

After they were done digivolving, Mixing, Maxing, and Giga-Maxing, the 4 Mega Digimon, 4 GigaMaxes, 13 Maxes, and several other Mixes charged forth, ready to fight BloomLordmon. "Will you really not allow us to find the answers that we're seeking?" Diarbbitmon asked, pulling out both of his rapiers, as the mega Digimon resembling a conquistador kept silent, and swung down his spear, creating a powerful breeze that pushed the Mixes back into a pillar, splitting them all apart, and it hit Gaioumon and Amphimon as well, but luckily, the two of them didn't crash into neither any pillars nor each other. "Seed Belt!" He shouted, shooting a couple of seeds from the petal on his left shoulder at the same speed as bullets from a machine gun, causing them to get knocked back, as some of the seeds actually seeped into their arms. "Amphimon! Gaioumon!" Siriusmon called to them, as Diarbbitmon and the Glorp Corp Giga-Max leapt towards BloomLordmon as while Alya gave the Beast Knight Digimon the command to use Truskmore Advance, Kaitlyn and Carlos gave their combined partners the command to use Ooze Bomb. Unfortunately, both (or technically speaking, all 7) of them were knocked back by BloomLordmon's spear, as a set of seeds hit their arms, hitting as hard as they did to Amphimon and Gaioumon. The remaining Maxes and Giga-Maxes charged alongside Siriusmon towards BloomLordmon, as Casey gave the commands for Siriusmon to use Cosmo Blade, and for the Infernite Giga-Max the command to use Lahab Dive. However, the two mega-level Digimon and the Giga-Max were at a standstill with each other...

"Amphimon!" Kiyo called to her as the class representative ran over with Bianca and Aleena, as the cyborg Mega Digimon, alongside Gaioumon, were both still on the ground, writhing around in pain. "S-Stay back..." Gaioumon muttered despite the pain, as Amphimon only groaned in pain, as tree roots begun erupting from the seeds BloomLordmon had shot at them, binding them, as Kiyo was unfortunate enough to remain too close to Amphimon, and ended up stuck in the vines alongside his Digimon partner. "Kiyo!" Casey and Henry called to them, worried, as Diarbbitmon and the Glorp Corp Giga-Max turned to face the two, before vines begun to ensnare the two, whereas the vines wrapping themselves around Diarbbitmon caused his swords to break apart, The Glorp Corp Giga-Max was forcibly split apart into Glomp, Torts, Glurt, Dribbal, Slusho, and Gurggle. "You need to get out of here with Ren, Kaitlyn..." Glomp told his Human partner, as Diarbbitmon only nodded in agreement. "Amber, take Alya to safety and run...!" The Beast knight Digimon called to the two Roark siblings, as Amber shook her head. "I couldn't forgive myself if I left you or the Glorp Corp behind. Besides, this is like untying a knot... If untying a knot was with vines, but still." The girl who could be mistaken for Seismo said as she tried to free the Digimon and 6 Mixels, but ended up getting stuck, as the vines tied her up near Slusho. "Y'know, Ambs, we don't spend enough quality time together." The Dragonfly-esque Mixel said with a small smile, as Amber just kept her silence. "The seeds shall take root from within, and ultimately create beautiful flowers that shall drain you of all energy." BloomLordmon said, as peonies began to bloom from the vines, as he managed to Split the remaining Giga-Maxes and Maxes apart. "I can't believe it..." Henry muttered, a bit shocked. "Amphimon and the others were taken down so fast..." Casey muttered, as Hover Espimon only nodded. "It just goes to show that BloomLordmon's no pushover..." 

"His prowess in combat is most definitely something not to be taken lightly..." Gaioumon said, as he struggled to cut the vines with his blades, as the vines seemed to almost be as powerful as mithril. "You and the Infernites must be careful, Siriusmon..." Globert said, all while he was struggling to get back up, as Siriusmon bounded forward, as his swords and BloomLordmon's spear began to clash against each other. "How many infected lifeforms do you 7 think I've defeated during the time I've been leaning on the verge of being corrupted like those who came before you...?" BloomLordmon growled, as his eyes went back to their normal blue color. "You all are no match for me...!"

"I'm nothing like my father! Unlike Regulusmon, I want to save everyone, including all of the worlds that have been devoured and sent here into Neowise!" Siriusmon began, as the Infernites Giga-Max flew around the two, ready to help Siriusmon should the need arise. "Please, you need to let us meet with whoever's responsible for sending so many different creatures to Earth from within Neowise!" The phoenix Giga-Max pleaded, as BloomLordmon only scowled. "How dare you... We need no help from the Devourer's child!" He growled. "The colorful god has saved all other forms of life who hadn't been corrupted by your father's poison and also spared them all from the Worst Possible Outcome by sending them to Earth!" The Mega level Digimon shouted, as thrusted his spear closer towards Siriusmon, who managed to block it with both his blades. "This ends here. SPROUT RUSH." BloomLordmon began, as he took up an intricate spear-fighting stance, and then used a technique that had knocked Siriusmon and the Infernites Giga-Max back, forcing the Phoenix to split apart into Flain, Vulk, Zorch, Flamzer, Burnard, and Meltus, who, similar to Siriusmon- who had forcibly been degenerated back into Gammamon- were soon bound by Vines.

"Gammamon... Guys..." Casey frightfully muttered, her growing fear and concern for her 5 partners, as well as the Infernite cousins, kept her from moving, as BloomLordmon slowly begun to make his way towards Gammamon. "You may constantly tell yourself that you're nothing like the Devourer of Space, but you're still his child due to the possibility of how, at the cost of you trading sanity for power, you'll go down the same path of Digivolution as him." BloomLordmon said, as he pointed his spear at Gammamon, ready to pierce through the little child's body at a moment's notice, as Gammamon weakly looked at all of his friends. Flain and all of the Mixels... Casey and the others... Hover Espimon, Gaioumon, Amphimon, and Diarbbitmon... They were all in danger, and with how his semi-childish mind perceived it, he thought the fault was all on him...!

________________________________________________________________________________

"...At this rate, we'll lose everything." A familiar voice called through the darkness within Gammamon's psyche. Gammamon frightfully looked around, despite the fact that he recognized the voice talking to him all too well. "G-Gulus, it's you...!" He said, halfway smiling, as he looked down at his shadow, which was now 4 different colors- Red, Blue, Green, and Black. "I... I never really got the chance to thank you for helping me in the fight against Rafflesimon, and all those other times before. Sure, I don't fully trust you like Casey and the others, but..." Gammamon said, as he watched the colored shadows begin to spiral around him, as a pair of questions formed in his mind. "Where are you? Why can't I see you?" He then asked, as Gulus answered with a gentle scoff. "Even though you accepted me as a part of you, thus being what helped you reclaim y'r true form of Siriusmon, you don't know what I really am supposed to be...? W'll, I suppose that's fair enough. We haven't exactly seen each other Eye t' eye, even if we met in pers'n only a few times b'fore." Gulus' voice chuckled, as what looked like a shadowy aura in the shape of Gammamon sat down in front of him- What the white triceratopsian Digimon could assume was the form Gulus had taken on in his psyche when he had redeemed himself. "Gammamon, listen to me, 'lil bro- You and I are like Light and Shadow, Night and Day, Hope and Despair. We're two opposing sides, yet we're both part of the same coin. Or rather, to put it mildly, we're two beings who share the one, same body." Gulus explained, as Gammamon nodded, understanding well enough that his older brother was right. "I mean, I know- It was supposed to be just me, but I was born with a fractured Digicore, so Papa used his GRB to create you and save my life. But what does any of that have to do with what's going on right now?" The childish Digimon asked, while back in Neowise, outside of Gammamon's mental psyche, BloomLordmon was about ready to smite Gammamon. "If we don't act now, Spicy, Hen-Hen, Camilla, Rocky Road... All those Humans, Mixels, and Digimon we've made friends with since we ended up on Earth... We'll never see them again." Gulus tried to explain, as the green shadow that was underneath Gammamon disappeared. "We can't let that happen, or else the same story that happened in the Digital World before we came to Earth will happen again t' Planet Mixel, th' Mixel moon, Earth, an' who knows what other places in the cosmos." Gulus explained, as the blue shadow disappeared, too. Gammamon watched as the final shadow- The red shadow- disappeared, and all that was left was him, the black shadow, and the aura of darkness that was Gulus. "We'll... We'll never see any of our friends ever again...?" Gammamon muttered, starting to grow scared, as he was slowly beginning to realize what his older brother was getting at. "At this rate..." Gulus began. "There's only one way we're getting outta this- You got to let me out, so I can talk to BloomLordmon, and tell him that I'm never gonna digivolve, and if I did, I'd end up Canoweissmon, and NOT like the Old Man. SO LET ME OUT, NOW!" Gulus shouted, as the black shadow begun to faintly glow, signifying that, against his own better judgement, Gammamon was going to Dark Digivolve- whether he liked it or not. "No... No, I can't trust you! I want us to live a-and I love you since you're my Big Brother, but you'll only cause something far worse! You may not mean to anymore, but you always do...!" Gammamon cried, scared. He knew Gulus was right, but there had to be a better solution...

... Right?

[CUE MUSICAL NUMBER- 'DRIVER'S SEAT', BASED ON THE SONG OF THE SAME NAME FROM DEAD-END PARK, PERFORMED BY GAMMAMON AND GULUS (VOICED BY CATHY WESELUCK AND EMMA STONE), ORIGINALLY SUNG BY PUGSLEY AND TEMELUCHUS (BOTH VOICED BY ALEX BRIGHTMAN)]

https://youtu.be/SFRoRfgmW-c

[Gulus' eyes can be seen glowing within the darkness of Gammamon's inner psyche, trying to look at Gammamon.]

"Ya know ya need me, little broth'a,

Ah won't stay suppressed inside!

Ah'm worthy o' at least sum trustin,

Get the truth out 'fore we start Dyin'!

With this Digi-Devil, you're gon' ride!"

[Gammamon keeps looking away, before using a small bit of his Illuminance ability to destroy the eyes.]

"I don't need any assistance,

I've been doing great without you,

With our friends right by my side, yeah~!"

[An arm with red claws suddenly grabs Gammamon]

"Well, who Knew the truth from th' beginnin'?

Ya nev'r said th' rest of th' story!"

[Gammamon clamps his jaw down on the arm, thus freeing him as he begins to make his escape]

"I don't want to revel in corrupt Glory~!"

[Gulus' voice can be heard singing all while pink cracks, similar to the markings on Gulus' body, begin to form along the ground, as Gammamon jumps to avoid them]

"Just put me!

In the driver's seat!

Look at y'rself-

Y're, what, 3'3 with a fra'tured core!

But being me

Is the best thing y're gonna get,

Ah c'n promise ya that!

So, ya might as well pu'mme in the driver,

Pu'mme in the driver- PU'MME IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT!"

[Gammamon spreads out his little wings, flying above the pink cracks, trying to escape the claws, all as he continues singing]

"I never asked for you inside me,

Oh, why can't you leave me be?!

And I could really do without this,

Psychopathic plot twist,

All our friends need me now!"

[GRB infected versions of the others emerge from the cracks, all of them singing with Gulus' voice]

"Y'r heart's bigger than y'r bite, Gamms!

They're gone 'less we're united!

So come on, bro, gimme what'm owed!"

[Gammamon uses Breaclaw to destroy the GRB-infected Hallucinations of his friends, as they all disappear in a giant puff of Smoke]

"No, no, way!

Last time, you tried to kill them!"

[The moment the smoke clears, Gulus is standing in front of his little brother, body and all, as he begins to sing again]

"Oh, that was once,

I beg f'rgiveness!

So, tell me, Gamms, w've got a new deal?"

[Gulus picks up his younger sibling into his arms, and carries him to the center of the inner psyche, both of them singing together as they soar their way there.]

"Just put me!

In the driver's seat!"

[Gammamon looks up at his big brother from within his grasp] 

"And this really isn't a trick?"

[Gulus shakes his head] 

"Hell, no!"

[The dark dragon Digimon begins singing again as he lands on the ground, and sets Gammamon down as they reach the center of their shared psyche- which just so happens to be a spotlight.]

"Ah love ya, through thin 'n thick~!"

[Gammamon smiles at his older brother's words, as he then knows what needs to be done.]

"If being you is the only way we save the day,

I guess we better put you in the driver..."

[Gulus nods, offering his younger brother one of his red claws.]

"Pu'mme in the driver..."

[Gammamon takes ahold of Gulus' claw with a smile]

"Put you in the driver..."

[Gulus spins Gammamon around, as he watches his little brother run, and then quickly fly towards him]

"Pu'mme in the driver...!"

[Gammamon lands in his older brother's arms, embracing him in a hug and nuzzling his face]

"Put you there- In the driver's seat~!"

___________________________________________________________________________

[END MUSICAL NUMBER]

Meanwhile, back in the real world, BloomLordmon was finally about to drop the hammer on Gammamon. Or in this case, thrust his spear into Gammamon's chest. "Much like your father, you've awakened to the mindless fury of the Midnight Killer. I'll strike you down, and set the Digital World, Planet Mixel, the Mixel Moon, and every other world your father has devoured free from the shackles of this prison dimension!" The mega Digimon shouted, as he gripped both of his hands on his spear, lowering it down towards him. Casey began to run towards the duo in an attempt to rescue Gammamon from being stabbed by the floral weapon, but she knew that, with the way the ground was, it'd take her a while. She then looked at her D-Vigor's evolution gauge, which quickly began to fill up with grey light. She knew very well what was about to happen, before she had then only sighed. "If you won't listen to reason from us, then maybe you'll listen to someone who knows the true story." Casey said, as Gammamon's eyes went Black, his body becoming covered in black and blue flames from head to toe, all while the flames lifted his body, his wings involuntarily unfurling, as what sounded like a demonic child crying (or a dragon roaring) could be heard echoing through all of Neowise.

"GAMMAMON, DARK DIGIVOLVE TO..." He snarled, as the blue flames only grew in size, before they imploded around the young Digimon, making time itself temporarily freeze around Gammamon, as the blue and black fire exploded into a bigger blaze that rocketed upwards, and from the flames that soon dissipated into tiny black and blue flames, there stood only one Draconic Digimon, as time soon resumed around the reformed embodiment of Darkness-

"GULUS GAMMMAMON!"

Everyone on Casey's team could only just stared up at the black and pink dragon, eyes filled with either hope, or a faint glimmer of fear. "Please, Gulus..." Casey said, as Gulus floated over to her, took her hand, and went over to BloomLordmon with her. "... Get him to understand the truth, and also have him understand you're not the one to blame regarding everything that's happened." She pleaded, as Gulus nodded. "I'll try m'best, Spicy." The jet-black Digimon nodded, as he noticed the faces of all the Mixels, Digimon, and humans all looking at him. When he first revealed himself, everyone feared Gulus for being so brutal and merciless. And now, they saw him as a real friend of whom they could rely upon. Now, it was time for him (and by technicality, Gammamon) to explain that his father and the Nixels were at truly fault for everything getting devoured and sent into Neowise to slowly be destroyed, not him.

BloomLordmon looked at Gulus, watching as he let go of Casey's hand. "This all only further proves my point- You are exactly like the Devourer of Space." He began, as he pointed his spear at him. Gulus only laughed. "Ya kiddin' me, Vegan Knight? If I were really anythin' like the Old Man, I would have devoured Spicy, her amigos, Chicken, and the Oth'a Morsels a long time ago, and ultimately have infected them with his poison. But I didn't." Gulus then explained, impatiently tapping his ruby red claws on his wrist, while BloomLordmon glared at the Virus Digimon. "You claim to know about your father's poison, and also carry it yourself. If you truly say you're nothing like him, then tell me all that you know about the Digital World being devoured. If you say that it isn't fully your fault, then I shall believe you." Upon hearing him, Gulus nodded. "Fine. Tell me, have any of ya heard of Gamma Ray Bursts? M'Pop's poison is a bit similar t' those. It's theorized that, if a Gamma Ray Burst happened close enough to planet Earth, it would cause a Mass extinction that would wipe out all life on Earth." Gulus explained, as from the darkness, King Nixel, Major Nixel, and Regulusmon himself walked out, and the bigger dark dragon Digimon finished what his child was trying to say-

"My Poison corrodes the data that consists of a Digimon's personality and strength at the subatomic level," The Devourer of Space began, As Major Nixel and King Nixel watched as he gave his speech. "Or in non-Digital life's case, such as either a Mixel or a Human's, it severs the synapses of the Sensory Cortex and Frontal Lobe- That is, the one that helps with judgement and Foresight, not the one that's associated with smell- Overall, those infected with my poison, the Gulus Realm Burst, or GRB for short, end up gaining increased survival instincts and strength, all at the loss of sanity." Upon hearing his words, both Kiyo and Francis thought it out. "So, that means if Gulus chose to infect us with your poison, it would've spreaded explosively across the globe?" The human partner of the Klinkers asked, confused, as Alya glared at Regulusmon. "But Gammamon and Gulus were with us this whole time..." She then countered, beforeGulus only let out a small sigh. "That... is true, yes, but Ah was unknowingly being used as a puppet. A few years ago, Ah was born and raised in the Digital world, spreading the GRB without knowing what it was at the time, since m'dad gave me the power to spread it through a bit of ooze that'd occasionally secrete through mah skin, kinda like how the poison of a poison dart frog does, until Carlos found me- Or, should I say, found Gammamon, and managed to get rid'da all of the GRB inside me, yet he couldn't fix the rest of the Digital World when it began to change thanks to the GRB, which slowly began to devour the place, and send bits and pieces of it here to Neowise. Meanwhile, my old man found a gateway leading to a universe whose 'eroic inhabitants thought they had defeated their foes once and for all- The Mixels. In other words, Pops soon set his sights on their home turf, and actually began to devour it before infecting the Mixelverse with his poison. Ergo, he's the one and ONLY Midnight Killer. Ah just so happened t'be blamed for what he'd done because 'o him taking on a form similar t'mine before he became Regulusmon, and then did what he did." Gulus explained, revealing that he, indeed, wasn't entirely at fault, while his father, Regulusmon, was the one at fault for everything that has happened. The Devourer of Space chortled evilly, as the Mixels all glared at the one who was TRULY at fault for their homes being ensnared in this hellish pocket dimension that consisted of Planet Mixel, the Mixel Moon, the Digital World, and so many other worlds that had been devoured already by the towering black dragon that was Regulusmon.

"Unfortunately, when I had finished devouring their world, they escaped the Mixelverse, and found themselves transported to the Milky Way Galaxy- In other words, they managed to get to Earth with help from Carlos, who had previously sent both of my children there." Regulusmon said with a scowl, as he then floated over to King Nixel. "However, in contrast to the bad luck that has happened all this time for me, this final battle is taking place in my domain of devoured worlds, and..." He then turned to face the true leader of the Nixel Armada. "I just need one last thing before I keep my end of the deal, Your Kingliness." King Nixel only looked up at Regulusmon, and then at the countless Humans, Mixels, and the 5 (Which were technically 6, thanks to Gulus) who had stood in his way for far too long. "If it means I can finally be rid of those Miserable Mixels once and for all, I'll do anything, as our troops, Major, and myself have proven ever since the beginning! What is it that you need?" The king of all Nixelkind asked the Devourer of space, as he grabbed King Nixel in his Giant claws, pulled him closer to his giant mouth, and then...

"A SNACK!"

CRUNCH.

Regulusmon then bit the head of the King of all Nixels clean off of his body, and swallowed his head, as Everyone, Mixel, Human, and Digimon alike, all had watched in pure terror and gut-wrenching terror as Regulusmon dropped the body of King Nixel to the ground, as faded grey blood stained the stony ground, leaving the king for dead. Everyone just stared in fear, even Gulus, who was normally so ready to kill, himself, floated back as he gave control back to Gammamon, as he turned back into the Young Digimon, who watched as Major Nixel slowly went up to the lifeless body of his former king. "S... Sire...?" He weakly asked him, but there was no response. "... Alabastyr...?"The major then nervously called out the true name of his King, but only silence greeted him. Sadness and fear had quickly transformed into anger and confusion, as Major Nixel turned to face Regulusmon. "... Why...? WHY DID YOU MURDER HIS ROYAL HIGHHORSE?!" He shouted at the Devourer, who only chuckled, before making the sound of maddened, sickened laughter, the king's grey blood dripping down from the blackened beast's maw and staining his teeth like grape juice, or even Grapefruit juice.

"You think I murdered him? Oh, don't be silly, Major- Or Should I say, Croe Nixel?" Regulusmon began, trying to compose himself while he revealed the Major's real name (Which each one of the Chosen Ones knew already), as the Devourer of Space soon found that his insane laughter slightly escaped his toothy grin every few seconds, as the dark pink parts of his body slowly began to glow ever so faintly. "I said I just needed a snack, and I was just getting what I REALLY wanted- MY FULL POWER AS GOD RESTORED!" He roared, as the light on the dark pink began to glow a bit brighter, as he turned to face the chosen ones. "Croe said before that, when Dracmon had first digivolved into Yaksamon, that it was impossible since Aleena didn't have a D-Vigor, ergo, at the time, she WASN'T his partner, right? Well, Digimon digivolving without the aid of a partner isn't unheard of, nor Impossible. It just... Leads down a dark path for both mind, AND body. Now, it didn't do such a thing for him when he had gained the power to super digivolve or Mega digivolve because- Obviously- The Nixels' former queen now has a D-Vigor. Now..." Regulusmon snarled, as his eyes gleamed menacingly. "LET ME SHOW YOU EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU INCUR THE WRATH OF GOD!" He roared, as around the battlefield, DNA helixes began to form everywhere within the devoured Domain, almost as if Regulusmon was literally tearing apart Neowise like it was a living, breathing world in order to digivolve... And digivolve, he would.

"REGULUSMON, MEGA DIGIVOLVE TO...!" He Screeched, flying above the heads of Major nixel, BloomLordmon, Gammamon, and all the others, avoiding each and every single Strand of DNA before flying into what seemed to be a black hole, and as all the strands of DNA began to slowly but surely get dragged towards the black hole. And once every DNA strand was brought towards the black hole, several bits of them became either a spiral of black fire, or rings of Black fire, while the black hole became a black crystal which showed a silhouette of Siriusmon, but... Something was REALLY off.  It seemed similar enough to Siriusmon, as it was also a tall dragon man Digimon with a humanoid body structure with a ceratopsian-like head, and Tyrannosaurus rex-like feet, but the wing-framed cape was wrapped around its neck and was being held together with two buckled black belts. Soon, cracks began to form on the crystal that was within from the inside, which cracked from the inside, revealing the rest of this corrupted Digivolution. It had black scales covering the majority of its body; the only exception was its face, which was covered from top to bottom in black metal, with three ceratopsian magenta horns, and a spikey crest on the back of its head. The helmet, shin guards, faulds, cuirass, breastplate, and shoulder pads it wore all had their own gold sections, and three glowing magenta spikes on each shoulder pad. Finally, both arms wielded a strange, black device with a gold drill at the end of each. This Digimon absorbed the remains of the black Crystal, and the flames it had left behind, almost making it seem like this new version of Regulusmon devoured both Crystal and Flames. But this was not Regulusmon- Not in the slightest. The Devourer of Space was now...

"ARCTURUSMON."

Everyone stared at the new Mega level Digimon in fear. Regulusmon, the Devourer of Space, had become a dark, evil copy of Siriusmon, who was known as the Cosmic Savior. Was Arcturusmon technically an Unholy Conqueror? There was no time nor room for thought, as Arcturusmon burst into maddened laughter. "Finally! At long last, I'm back to MY OWN true self! Now, I can finally do what I've wanted to do for so long- Rewrite the universe in my barren image, for that is the role I play as a Galactic God!" He zipped around in the air, as all that remained of Neowise was nothing but a multitude of galaxies that he had devoured during the time he was still at the Ultimate level.

"Wh-What the heck is this place?!" Kiyo fearfully shouted, as Teslo looked around, fright taking some control of him. "It'z ztill Neowize, but it'z more... Zcattered..." He muttered, as the evil version of Siriusmon then finished the Electroid leader's sentence. "Neowise is currently within its true, devoured state." Arcturusmon began. "When I began my legacy as the Devourer of Space, did you really NOT expect me to devour entire Universes? The Mixelverse wasn't my only target, but I just needed one thing to return to this form- a source of pure, unbridled malice towards those colorful buffoons, my children, their friends, and all of the humans who had the power to stop me when I was still Regulusmon." He then looked to Major Nixel. "Luckily, when I met you, your king, and the rest of the Armada when you all ended up on Earth, I knew that I could use you all as my own, personal pawns. And when it came time- And everyone here can clearly see, it did- I made my move, and thus did the simple thing; I decrowned your king, AND THEN I BECAME GOD!" He maniacally laughed, as Major Nixel just stared at Arcturusmon, regret filling his monochromatic heart. All this time, Major and the king trusted him, but now... Now, his Bossiness was gone because of their former ally...

"Every ounce of this... It's all my fault..." Major Nixel mumbled, regret filling every corner of his very soul. BloomLordmon only looked at the group of 114, consisting of 25 Humans, 81 Mixels, 5 Digimon, and then directly the Major. "You all have proven to me that none of you are the villains in this story, unlike Arcturusmon. However, that doesn't mean we are completely allies." Casey only glanced at the floral Knight Digimon. "Yeah, I figured, BloomLordmon." But then, a smile appeared on her face. "But when we kill Arcturusmon, you're gonna let us by so we can speak with whoever's responsible for bringing the Mixels, Digimon, and all those other creatures to Earth, whether you like it or not. Just let my friends free from the vines and tree roots you ensnared them within. If we're gonna defeat the Devourer of Space once and for all, it's gonna take more than just Mixing it up all the way to the Max. It's gonna take Colors, mixed with the power of Bonds." She said determinedly, as the Mixels all nodded in agreement with her statement, as while BloomLordmon set Amphimon, Kiyo, Gaioumon, Amber, Diarbbitmon, and the 6 Glorp Corp mixels free, and while the other Mixels mixed, maxed, and Giga-maxed again, Gammamon only flew right towards Arcturusmon, and in his way of seeing things, the child saw his darker brother right next to him. He- No, he, Gulus, and Everymixel- were facing their final battle, right here, and right now!

"GAMMAMON, DOUBLE WARP DIGIVOLVE TO!!!!" The voices of both Gammamon and Gulus shouted in unison, as constellations that looked similar to cubits passed the body of the white dinosaur child by, as each and every one became a different colored DNA strand, that, when the little Digimon touched them, would cover whatever part of his body had touched them in a solid light of that color. Soon enough, Gammamon's body was covered from head-to-toe with each and every color that the Mixel tribes that he had met in his adventure were, as a nebula began to form around him, as his body began to change. From his arms, the grey, black, and purple solid light exploded, forming the Sylvia, which were two large black cannons that had the ability to convert into swords. The yellow, orange, and green lights slid off, revealing a humanoid body structure with a ceratopsian-like head, tyrannosaurus rex-like feet, where the red and blue solid lights burnt off like small bits of flames revealed white scales that were covering up most of its body; the only exception was the face, which was covered up by multiple pieces of white metal, a silver faceplate, three ceratopsian magenta horns, and spiky yellow hair on the back of its head. The lime green, navy blue, brown, gold, and silver lights peeled off, revealing the red lines on each part of his limbs and his torso, cyan gems on his armor, and a wing-framed cape with a dark blue interior. The mist from the nebula cleared, revealing the helmet, shin guards, faulds, cuirass, breastplate, and shoulder pads he wore all had gold sections, glowing magenta spikes, and red lines. From behind the Digimon, constellations slowly began to form in the shapes of all the Mixel tribe leaders- Flain, Krader, Teslo, Flurr, Jamzy, Scorpi, Magnifo, Mysto, Tungster, Glomp, Gobba, Kraw, Splasho, Niksput, Kramm, Globert, Kuffs, Compax, Screeno, Vaka-Waka, Surgeo, Sharx, and Camillot, as he passed each and every one of them by, looking at the leading mixels happily- honoring how he's come this far. This was the form that both Gulus and Gammamon had taken on. They were now...

"SIRIUSMON!"

Siriusmon, Amphimon, Diarbbitmon, Gaioumon, the 4 Giga-Maxes, and the other Maxes all charged towards Arcturusmon, engaging the dark copy of one of their own in battle. "I am God, Children- An unbeatable entity! Mere mortals cannot defeat, let alone kill, what remains immortal! I shall destroy all of you, as I continue to fulfill my goal- DEVOUR ALL THAT IS, CAN, AND WILL EVER BE IN THIS, OR ANY OTHER GALAXY!" The drill-armed copy who preached itself as a divine being growled, as from within the stellar void, distorted voices began to echo out, sounding almost like... Music.

[Arcturusmon only stares at all of the chosen ones and their partners, as he turns away from them all, as he begins singing.]

"So, you would dare challenge my power,

Your light as my ultimate kill?

Now, bear witness to this final hour,

As these worlds fall to my will!"

[Amphimon prepares to use Aqua blade to cut Arcturusmon down to size, but he swiftly jumps out of the way, making the attack accidentally hit Diarbbitmon and a few mixes, causing them to split apart, and for Diarbbitmon to turn back into Angoramon.]

"Flames wrestling the light,

Storming hatred and rage!

Compared to my power?

Crumble now, like clay!

If you think this all

Will be ending okay,

Think again, you ants,

This is all my stage!"

[Siriusmon, Gaioumon, the maxes, Amphimon, and the Giga-Maxes are all the last ones remaining, as Arcturusmon stares down them all, sparing Major a small glance.]

"You wish to fight God in his domain?

Then, feel the might of my hell-borne reign!"

[Gaioumon proceeds to charge towards Arcturusmon, as he uses Rinkazan to attempt to defeat Arcturusmon, but he gets kicked into a few of the Maxes, splitting them apart, and turning Gaioumon back into Dracmon.]

"A black hole hits critical mass

To rain my judgment down for what will come to pass-

Die!"

[Arcturusmon then uses one of his drills to punch Amphimon and the remaining Maxes, splitting them apart, and turning her back into Jellymon.]

"Be drowned in my darkness!

As I consume,

The whole of the known universe!

At the edge of the horizon,

I am what force that shall burn the sky!"

[Siriusmon looks at the other Digimon who had been forcibly degenerated, as the Giga-Maxes all look at each other, then at Siriusmon, and all 6 of them nodded. Arcturusmon needed to be stopped, NOW!]

"I have craved nothing but endless might,

Long since the days of yore

You think you can kill me with your light?

You've no idea what's in store!"

[Arcturusmon kicks the Wiztastics/Munchos Gigamax into the Frosticons Gigamax, causing them both to split apart back into Magnifo, Mesmo, Wiz-Wuz, Vaka-Waka, Snax, Berp, and Flurr, Lunk, Slumbo, Snoof, Krog, and Chilbo.]

"Each generation should have joined my side,

To ravage this plane without thinking twice

Now with shadowed flame,

And a silver moon,

Swirl in supernova with reality's doom!

[The Glorp Corp Giga-Max tries to attack with ooze bomb, but Arcturusmon corrupts the incoming attack with GRB, glitching it out, as it becomes similar to a heat-seeking Missile that chased after the green Giga-max.]

"With this plane shaped by my flame,

And all my new worlds-

Yes, all shall bow to my name! 

This fight is mine,

This is my birthright!

As you've tried to encroach,

You'll fall every time-

Die!"

[The GRB-corrupted Ooze bomb hits the Glorp Corp Giga-max, the power of its explosion forcing it to split apart into Glomp, Torts, Glurt, Gurggle, Dribbal, and Slusho. Now, Siriusmon and the Infernites Giga-max were the only ones left. They were the only ones left who had a chance of defeating Arcturusmon, but something seemed off. Every time they'd attack, Arcturusmon would dodge the blows, but not fight back. Just what was he planning...?]

"Be drowned in my darkness!

As I condemn,

Your entire existence!"

[The Infernites Giga-Max is about to use Lahab Dive to attack Arcturusmon, but suddenly, it begins writhing in pain, almost as something is harming the Giga-max from the inside, as Siriusmon could only watch in confusion.]

"At the edge of the horizon,

I am what force that shall burn the sky!"

[Arcturusmon strikes down the Infernites Giga-Max, splitting it apart into Flain, Vulk, Zorch, Flamzer, Burnard, and Meltus. However, 3 copies of the 2014 Infernites were found near the originals, that slowly began to open their eyes. The half of Siriusmon that Gulus now controlled watched in fear. IT has already begun, and now it was a matter of time before everything would begin all over again, for if he, his lighter half, and who knows who else fell here, time would rewind...]

_____________________________________________________________________________

(End song)

Everyone stared in shock at the 3 new Infernites that were next to the originals. They looked exactly like Flain, Vulk, and Zorch before they Giga-maxed with 2015 Infernites for the first time back when they had fought Kuzuhamon alongside Siriusmon, but they seemed to be.... Darker, and completely... Wrong. The one in the middle seemed to look like Flain, but a darker shade of red covered his body, compared to the bright red he once had. His beak seemed a bit sharper than how it was before the overload of mixing essence filled his body. The three prongs Flain normally had weren't prongs for this Dark copy, but rather, three magenta horns with 3 golden, circular rings around the bottom of them, and his eyes were dark pink, while the sclera were an even darker magenta. around his neck was a cape held together by a large grey taper with a small, gold diamond shape with a pink gem in the center of it. The cape itself seemed to be old and tattered, grey on the outside, and dark pink on the inside, with many holes and tears in it. Instead of the usual red arms and pincers Flain usually had, for this copy, they had been replaced by dark navy-blue shoulders, which were each connected to a pair of blue-and-black flames that acted as cuffs for a set of golden drills with dark red circles around the base. Around his waist, there seemed to be two golden rib-like bumps, and his legs were dark navy blue, while the feet were red with golden claws- Two on front, and one on the back.

The second sinister being on the right looked most like Vulk, though he also had a definite resemblance to Gulus Gammamon. His lower jaw was a gray cream color, topped by razor sharp teeth. On top of his head were two dark gray cat ears, tipped by bright magenta. Above his eye on his forehead was a single, pale yellow, segmented horn. The sclera of his eye was a shade of gray, with a white pupil. His arms were the same dark gray as his ears, and the top of his hands were covered by trailing blue fabric, the material and rough edges resembling Gulus' cape. The fingers at the ends of his hands were the same dusty yellow as his horn, and tipped by razor sharp claws. The largest difference between Vulk and this imposter was the long red tail, decorated on either side with a stripe of dark gray, and tipped by a yellow barb. He had a pair of dark gray legs, while his deep crimson feet had three sharp, bright red claws.

The last of the trio that floated over to the left side of the Flain lookalike resembled a combination of Zorch and Regulusmon. Atop his eyes were the Infernites' signature eyebrows floating over his eyes. The whites of his eyes were gray, with his pupils being a magenta color, one large, and the other a smaller dot with a ring of magenta surrounding it. On his prominent lower jaw were three protruding fangs, and each end of his jaw was tipped by a pale pink. His gray arms both ended in a weapon that greatly resembled Regulusmon's weapons of choice. On his right arm was a rounded gauntlet, decorated by a band of magenta around the wrist, and the hand topped by three long, golden claws. His left arm had a large shield over its forearm, though it did possess a pincer hand at the end. The shield was mostly dark gray with a strip of maroon in the center, the top and bottom decorated by flames. Down his dark gray legs were a pair of long, dark red feet, each having a pair of claws, one small one on the heel, and a larger one that started at his ankle, and ended in a long talon. On each side of his feet were a stripe of magenta, each one starting at either side of his ankles, and ending on either side of his talon. Finally, on either side of his flaming jets, there was a pair of blue cape-like wings on his back, the ends tattered like Regulusmon's cape.

"This only PROVES I am God! I have used the poison within the Gulus Realm Burst to create new life- LIFE THAT SHALL BOW DOWN TO ME!" Arcturusmon cackled maniacally, as Flain and his brothers just stared in fear at their GRB duplicates. "N-No way..." Flain mumbled in shock and fear, as Zorch glared at Arcturusmon. "So, you infected US with the GRB?! Not cool, man! Not cool!" The crimson Infernite snarled, as Arcturusmon then eyed each of the leaders, and then Siriusmon. "However, I grow weary of this charade. Let's put an end to this part of the story quicker than usual, shall we?" The evil clone of Siriusmon asked, earning a look of confusion from the group of heroes, before he eyed Casey. "Until we meet again after the Restart of it all, human child." He then told her with an evil smirk, as the GRB clones of the 2014 Infernites stood aside, as Arcturusmon began to coat his drill arms with the Gulus Realm Burst, and began to spin them rapidly, slowly beginning to compress the poison to its limit, forming a pink laser-energy sphere, as Casey's eyes widened at the sight, feeling her entire body freeze up, like she was an ice cube made of flesh and bone, as her senses of sight, touch, and hearing seemed to go completely dark.

"DARK... CONFESSION!" The dark copy of Siriusmon then roared, firing a large, pink laser beam at the girl from Spain, as Siriusmon and all the Tribe leaders (excluding Mysto) had quickly pushed Casey out of the way, causing her life to be spared. Casey soon felt her vision, sense of touch, and hearing return to her, and what she saw in front of her was probably the most frightening picture she had seen since the start of her adventures with all the friends that she and her brother had managed to make, be it with Humans, Mixels, or Digimon; Everyone else frozen by fear and despair, seeing Flain, Krader, Teslo, Flurr, Jawg, Kraw, Scorpi, Glomp, Magnifo, Globert, Niksput, Gox, Tungster, Vaka-Waka, Kramm, Camillot, Jamzy, Kuffs, Sharx, Splasho, Surgeo, Compax, and Screeno's colors beginning to fade as they all remained frozen like statues, and as for Siriusmon...

His body had a giant hole burned right through the center of his own chest. Casey felt herself gasping for air, choking on something that wasn't even in her throat, as tears began to slowly form in her eyes, and roll down her own face. Flain, Gulus, Siriusmon and the other tribal leaders who sacrificed themselves for her wellbeing were probably dead now at this point, and only 5 words could escape her mouth as the clones of the Infernites and Arcturusmon had all burst into maddened laughter-

"This is all my fault..."
