The area they’re on glows brightly towards the sky.

Guilmon: Guilmon bio-merge to...

Gallantmon: Gallantmon!

Guardromon: Remarkable.

Henry: Whoa, that’s amazing he must be Guilmon’s true mega form!

Rika: Yeah I’ll say, but where’s Takato?

Beelzemon: Hey what’s going on here, huh?

Gallantmon: Beelzemon, you rejected every friendship offered to you, in return you betrayed the and destroyed a valiant soul. I cannot forgive what you have done.

Beelzemon: You can’t forgive me? I don’t recall ever asking you to forgive me! We’ll talk about forgiveness when I wipe you out of existence!

Beelzemon runs toward Gallantmon yelling with his nails jetted out.

Gallantmon: So be it!

Gallantmon raises his sword and runs to Beelzemon yelling. They jump towards each other Beelzemon uses his claws but Gallantmon blocks it with his sword and they drop to the other side.

Beelzemon (thinking): He’s strong.

Gallantmon (thinking): This isn’t going to be easy.

Terriermon: Are they dancing or fighting?

They run to each other and match attacks creating lighting.

Terriermon: Uh!

Renamon: Does that answer your question?

Henry: Gallantmon, exalted knight digimon, his Lightning Joust and Shield of the Just attacks are unstoppable.

Renamon: At last, a mega on our side.

Suzie’s in awe.

Suzie : Why’s your mouth open?

Lopmon: Why is yours open?

Gallantmon: There is no excuse for your actions! I will see that justice is served!

Kenta: Wait! Where is he? Where’s Takato?

He looks around and sees Jeri kneeling on the floor.

Kazu: Maybe Sir Lance-A-Lot swallowed him.

Kenta: Yeah right.

A bright light works its way up and then splits apart Gallantmon landing near the kids, Beelzemon away from them.

Kazu and Kenta: Wow...

Beelzemon: You’ll excuse me if I’m not impressed your highness, but I got a deal to close.

Beelzemon pulls out his guns and points them at Gallantmon.

Beelzemon: And you happen to be in my way.

Gallantmon: Even now, you show no remorse for what you have done. I have no choice, but to destroy you!

He moves his sword making his cape blow.

Beelzemon: Right.

Beelzemon’s motorcycle falls from the sky and lands on Beelzemon and Gallantmon becomes wary of it. Then Beelzemon rides the bike over to Gallantmon and he jumps forward to attack too.

Beelzemon: Bring it on!

He shoots at Gallantmon but Gallantmon uses the shield to deflect the hits.

Gallantmon: That won’t stop me!

They land opposite to each other and Gallantmon seems tired.

Gallantmon: Ugh...

Gallantmon turns around.

Kazu: Oh man...

Kenta: Kazu, snap out of it, I think Takato’s gone.

Kazu: Huh? Are you sure?

He looks over to the waterfall.

Kazu: What? You think he got flushed down the falls?

Kenta: I’m not kidding, what if he did? He might be hurt or dead or something.

Kazu (thinking): I hate it when he’s right.

Renamon: Uh...

Rika: What’s wrong?

Renamon: I’m supposed to be protecting you, but I’ve failed.

Rika: Your job is to rest now. You haven’t failed anything.

Beelzemon is circling Gallantmon on the bike, shooting at Gallantmon.

Beelzemon: What’s wrong exalted one? I thought my weapons would deflect your royal highness.

Gallantmon: Huh? What’s he doing?

Beelzemon is riding so fast he appears to disappear.

Beelzemon: Now you see me, now you don’t!

Gallantmon: But how?

Beelzemon rides right in front of him.

Beelzemon: Darkness Claw!

He scratches up Gallantmon leaving him knocked down on the floor.

Terriermon: Beelzemon body slammed him! If I could just digivolve I’d whoop that rat!

Suzie backs away scared.

Henry: Suzie! Don’t move! Stay right where you are!

Jeri looks at her D-power.

Jeri: I can’t believe you’re gone, it’s my fault, I wasn’t strong enough to be your tamer. Leomon, I’m so sorry.

Beelzemon rides up behind Gallantmon.

Gallantmon: Huh?

He turns and sees Beelzemon, Gallantmon seemingly gets run over.

Beelzemon: Huh?

He turns and sees Gallantmon’s cape flying away.

Beelzemon: Where are you? Coward!

Gallantmon comes flying down from the sky.

Gallantmon: Lightning Joust!

Lightning forms on the sword and shoots down at Beelzemon.

Beelzemon: Huh?

Beelzemon looks up.

Beelzemon: You don’t scare me!

Beelzemon shoots at the lightning.

Gallantmon: Well I should!

He comes raining down and Beelzemon gets off the bike as the impact occurs.

Beelzemon: Aw nuts!

The bike explodes making the land rift and separating Suzie from Henry.

Suzie: Henry!

Henry: Suzie! No!

Inside the red castle of Zhuqiaomon, a fire burns in front of Caturamon and Zhuqiaomon’s shadow is on the wall.

Zhuqiaomon: Perhaps Beelzemon is worthy of the gifts we have bestowed upon him after all. But there is another who has betrayed me, this cannot go unpunished. Destroy the traitor!

Caturamon: As you wish.

Caturamon vanishes like Renamon.

Outside the land is still rifting Suzie and Lopmon away from Henry.

Suzie: Henry!

Lopmon: He’s coming, Caturamon.

Caturamon appears on a land near Lopmon.

Caturamon: What a tragic waste, a Deva who prefers the company of humans to the glory of the Sovereign.

His land rises above Lopmon’s.

Suzie: What does he want? Did you do something bad?

Lopmon: No he’s the one that’s bad.

Caturamon: You must be punished for what you’ve done, traitor!

Suzie: Huh? Don’t!

Suzie protects Lopmon.

Lopmon: Suzie let go, he’ll hurt you.

Suzie: I won’t let the bad doggy hurt you!

Caturamon: Disgusting! I must remove this worthless human.

Lopmon: No don’t! it’s me you want, she’s innocent.

Caturamon: Innocent? A human trespassing into the Land of the Sovereign is unforgivable! I shall destroy you both!

He jumps down and turns into a giant hammer.

Henry: No! don’t!

Terriermon: Leave her alone!

Terriermon jumps to save her.

Terriermon: Suzie!

Caturamon: Feel the wrath of the Sovereign!

He hits Terriermon and Terriermon goes falling.

Terriermon: Ow! Ah!

Suzie: Tewwiermon!

Caturamon is behind Suzie and Lopmon.

Renamon: Hold on!

Renamon jumps over to where Suzie and Lopmon are and grabs them

Renamon: Got cha!

Caturamon: No! Stop!

A land ridge is exploded.

Caturamon: Huh?

Gallantmon merges from the flames.

Gallantmon: You may be able to defeat a rookie, Deva. But you cannot defeat me.

Gallantmon puts on his cape and walks over.

Gallantmon: Prepare yourself.

Gallantmon puts his hand up and it transforms into a sword.

Gallantmon: Lightning Joust!

Gallantmon keeps it on the tip of the sword runs over and shoots it.

Caturamon: No! Uh! Long live the Sovereign!

His data is sent flying and Gallantmon goes to retrieve it.

Beelzemon: I’ll take that!

Gallantmon: No!

Beelzemon absorbs the data as he jumps higher.

Beelzemon: Ha ha ha ha! That filthy dog Caturamon finally got what he deserved! And now all that beautiful power is mine!

Suzie runs into Henry’s arms.

Henry: Suzie!

Suzie: Henry! I was so scared! And Tewwiermon got hurt! And...

Henry: Suzie let go of Lopmon.

Suzie: No!

Henry: She’s a Deva! It’s dangerous just being near her!

Lopmon: Oh...

Henry: I’m sorry, but it’s for your own good!

Suzie: But, Henry...look.

She holds up her digivice.

Henry: Uh...

Suzie: Don’t you see? Lopmon’s my partner! I can’t! I can’t!

She stats crying and Henry gets u and backs up.

Henry: This is so crazy! I can’t believe I’m even having this conversation! She shouldn’t even be here!

Renamon: I’m going to get Terriermon.

Rika: Okay.

Renamon leaves.

Gallantmon is still going at it with Beelzemon, Gallantmon’s slashing at Beelzemon while Beelzemon’s jumping away from it.

Terriermon is hurt on a ridge in a space between land rifts and above Renamon comes down to get him.

Renamon: Hold on Terriermon, I’ve got you.

Terriermon: Mouman...tai.

Above Kazu and Kenta are looking into the waterfall and at the bottom.

Kazu: Takato! Hey Chum Lee, you down there!

Kenta: Just a thought, but if he really did fall down there isn’t it possible that he might not be able to answer you?

Beelzemon jumps out of the bottom scaring Kazu and Kenta.

Beelzemon: Hello boys!

Kazu and Kenta: Oh man!

Guardromon: Don’t worry, I’ll protect you from this fiend.

Kenta: Uh...

Beelzemon: Protect this!

He kicks Guardromon away.

Kazu: Uh! Guardromon!

Guardromon: Ow.

Kazu: Are you alright? You’re not broken again are you?

Guardromon: I think we’ve got him on the run, don’t you?

Kazu: Don’t even think about it Guardromon, there’s just no way you can stand up to this guy.

Guardromon: Point taken.

Kazu (thinking): I’ve never felt more like a wuss in my whole life. But that psycho biker has gone off the deep end, if he does to Guardromon what he did to Leomon I’ll never forgive myself.

Beelzemon stares at Kenta and Gallantmon head butts Beelzemon away.

Gallantmon: You can’t stay here, it’s much too dangerous! Run!

Kenta is too scared to move.

Beelzemon: Too late, you should’ve listened to him!

He shoots at Kenta.

Gallantmon: No!

Gallantmon protects Kenta.

Gallantmon: Stay down! It’s almost over!

Kenta: Oh wow, he protected me. Huh?

Gallantmon runs back to the fight.

Kenta: That sounded like...Takato.

Gallantmon charges at Beelzemon and his gun is dropped.

Guardromon: Gotta move! Gotta go! Gotta run! Gotta move!

Kazu: Earth to Kenta, hello?

Kenta: I’m, uh. I just felt it, you know, inside, that big digimon is, is Takato.

Henry and Rika: Huh?

Henry: What are you talking about? You mean Gallantmon?

Kenta: Mm hm.

Gallantmon charges at Beelzemon again knocking him away.

Kenta: Somehow I just know that Gallantmon and Takato have like, joined together. Takato has actually become part of Gallantmon now.

All: Huh?

Kazu: Okay, that’s weird.

Gallantmon is running fast carrying Beelzemon.

Beelzemon: I’ve had enough of this!

Beelzemon climbs off Gallantmon and jumps on his head to make him fall but Gallantmon lands and slides on his feet. Beelzemon is coming down from above.

Inside Gallantmon (Takato): He’s coming!

Gallantmon: Now!

Gallantmon jumps out of the way.

Kazu: Oh man, if Takato’s in there, then he’s toast! We gotta do something!

Beelzemon jumps to Gallantmon and disappears.

Beelzemon: It’s your move!

Gallantmon: Where is he?

Beelzemon comes from the front and kicks Gallantmon in the face knocking him down.

Kazu: I gotta help Takato! But how?

Beelzemon: This is too easy. Huh?

He sees his gun and runs for it. Gallantmon gets his head up.

Beelzemon: Say goodbye, pineapple head.

Beelzemon points the gun at his face.

Beelzemon: Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Inside Gallantmon Takato screams.

Henry and Rika: Uh!

Beelzemon steps on Gallantmon’s shoulder and pushes him back.

Beelzemon: If you won’t say it I will, goodbye.

Henry: Takato!

Rika: What do we do?

Renamon walks up with Terriermon.

Renamon: Nothing, he’s on his own now.

A mini missile with a safety guy on it zooms by and hits Beelzemon.

Rika: What was that?

Kazu: That was the sound of sweet revenge.

Guardromon: Guardian Barrage!

He sends out six more missiles.

Beelzemon: You annoying...

More hit him and Gallantmon gets up and head butts Beelzemon into a rock.

Kazu and Kenta cheer.

Gallantmon: Huh?

He looks over and sees the others.

Takato (inside Gallantmon): Thank you Kazu!

Guilmon’s voice: Thank you everybody! All right, let’s go!

Takato (inside Gallantmon): Yeah, let’s get ’em!

Rika: Kenta was right, they have merged somehow.

Henry: Guilmon and Takato have become one indestructible fighting machine.

Gallantmon holds up his sword.

Gallantmon: Lightning Joust!

The blast sends Beelzemon flying and yelling until he crashes.

Jeri: Stop.

Beelzemon shoots at Gallantmon.

Gallantmon: You can’t hurt us anymore.

He tries to test that by shooting still.

Gallantmon: You just never learn.

Beelzemon is out of bullets.

Beelzemon: Huh?

He checks his gun.

Gallantmon: Beelzemon, your judgment day is at hand. For the horrible things you have done, now you must pay the ultimate price!

Gallantmon holds his shield in front f him and it glows.

Gallantmon: Shield of the Just!

The shield’s triangles around the middle glow one by one until the whole thing’s lit up and a big, bright red, beam shoots out of the center and towards Beelzemon.

Jeri: No!

Beelzemon is thrown back by the continuing blast.

Beelzemon: This can’t be...happening!

Smoke fills the air and it clears away to leave Beelzemon kneeling on the ground in pain and Gallantmon places his sword on his shoulder.

Gallantmon: This...is where it ends.

Beelzemon: How could I have lost? I was supposed to be invincible. What are you waiting for? Go on, do it.

Jeri stands up.

Jeri: No.

Beelzemon: Do it!

Takato (inside Gallantmon): I can never forgive you for what you’ve done to Leomon, he was my friend. How can you be so cold? You’re not even sorry for what you did!

Gallantmon: Goodbye Beelzemon!

He lunges his sword forth to stab Beelzemon.

Jeri: Stop it!

Gallantmon purposely misses and lands under Beelzemon’s arm cause of Jeri.

Takato (inside Gallantmon): Jeri, why?

Jeri: He’s not worth it Takato.

Gallantmon: What are you saying?

He pulls his sword away.

Gallantmon: He deserves this, you know that.

Jeri: Please, don’t do it. I couldn’t bear it if anyone else got hurt. Please.

Gallantmon: Jeri...

Jeri: Please.

Takato (inside Gallantmon): I’m sorry Jeri.

Beelzemon: I don’t get it, why are you protecting me? I destroyed your partner.

Beelzemon gets up and looks at her and Jeri starts to cry again.

Jeri: I hate you...for doing that. But even if you died it wouldn’t bring Leomon back. It’s my fault he’s gone and if you destroyed each other then that would be my fault too. I just can’t let anyone else get hurt because of me.

Jeri drops to the floor crying and Gallantmon de-digivolves back to Guilmon and Takato.

Takato: I’m so sorry.

He goes to comfort her but decides to let her be.

Guilmon (sad for Jeri): Mm...

Beelzemon (thinking): Humans...

Beelzemon has a flashback to when he was Impmon and Ai and Mako’s digimon and them pulling at each arm.

Mako: He is mine!

Ai: He is not!

Mako: Is too!

Ai: Is not!

Beelzemon (thinking): They were so selfish I didn’t want to have anything to do with them.

Impmon: Knock it off!

Flashback to Impmon scaring Calumon on a building.

Impmon: Friendship? Forget about it! What good are friends? You run around being all cute, and cuddly, and nice for them and what’s that done for you, huh? You can’t digivolve, you’re not even a real digimon!

Calumon: I am too!

Impmon: Yeah right, well then tough guy why don’t ya just fight me and take my data? Hm?

Flashback to Impmon jumping on cars.

Beelzemon (thinking): I didn’t need friends, especially if they were humans. Humans didn’t care about anything but themselves and even when they did show you a little attention it’s only cause they wanted something from ya. They used up digimon like we were slaves or something. Well I wasn’t gonna take it anymore.

Impmon: Look more weaklings.

He takes an ice cream cone from a little girl.

Impmon: I’ll take that!

He eats it making the girl cry.

Dad: Hey that was bubblegum, raspberry, almond crunch.

Impmon: How about a Ba Da Boom upside the head crunch? Ba Da Boom!

He lights a fire and throws it at the guy.

Dad: My shoulder! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot! Hot!

Impmon: Well that’s just a little present for ya, and I’ve brought enough for everyone!

He throws fire at everyone there.

Impmon: Ba Da Boom!

Flashback to Impmon standing up to Indramon.

Impmon: You think I need a tamer to beat you? I don’t need anyone!

Beelzemon (thinking): All I wanted was to have the power to digivolve on my own. Was that too much to ask?

Flashback to Impmon in the cave where Caturamon first contacted him.

Beelzemon (thinking): Huh? I don’t think so! Then just as I hit bottom, opportunity knocked.

Impmon: What do you want from me?

Beelzemon (thinking): But there’s always a catch.

Impmon: You’re saying that if I go back home, you’re gonna help me to digivolve? I’ll bite what do I have to do?

Caturamon laughs.

Beelzemon (thinking): What choice did in have, hm? Caturamon was right, there was no place for me in the Real World. Ai, Mako they never wanted me, except to torture each other.

Flashback to when Caturamon took him to show what Ai and Mako are doing without him.

Flashback to when Caturamon grants his wish to digivolve.

Caturamon: Then surrender your soul!

Impmon: Huh?

Beelzemon (thinking): I didn’t care how I got it, The Sovereign made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. At last, I had my power.

Flashback to when Beelzemon wanted to test his power.

Beelzemon (past): I’m gonna enjoy hearing you scream.

The Chrysallimon move towards him and Beelzemon shoots his gun at them.

Beelzemon (past): Try my Double Impact!

Beelzemon (thinking): At last I was the one in control, the power was intoxicating. It was addicting, I couldn’t get enough. I had to have more! I would do anything for it! Anything!

Beelzemon (past): Ha. This is too easy. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

Flashback to Leomon punching Beelzemon.

Leomon: To have power is not to be strong.

Leomon looks at Jeri.

Jeri: Uh, Leomon.

Leomon: Do what you must Beelzemon, but I will not let you hurt these children!

Beelzemon stabs Leomon through the stomach and other side, Leomon screams in pain as the others watch in fear as Leomon slowly collapses.

Leomon’s data starts to fade away and Jeri cries watching it helplessly.

Leomon: Be brave Jeri. Part of me will always be with you, remember you have a lion’s heart.

His data is completely erased and Beelzemon absorbs it.

Beelzemon: No, to have power is to be strong. I’ll keep loading data till no one can stop me! No one! No one!

End flashbacks.

Beelzemon: I am nothing now.

Beelzemon walks away and disappears into the day.

Guilmon: Huh?

Takato: We did it, sure feels good to be me again.

Guilmon rubs his head on Takato’s chest.

Guilmon: And my me is happy to be with your me, but as Gallantmon we were a real fighting team.

Takato: Yeah you’re right, we really did fight together didn’t we?

A new D-power appears in front of Takato and it’s gold this time and it falls into Takato’s hands and he and Guilmon clasp it.

Takato: Well whatever happens now, I absolutely know we’ll always be together.

Guilmon: Mm hm.

Kazu: Hail the conquering heroes!

Takato: Hey! Thanks you guys!

In the West Area of the Sovereign Ryo and Cyberdramon stand.

Ryo: Um Cyberdramon, do you have any idea where we are?

Cyberdramon growls.

Ryo: What’s wrong?

Cyberdramon: I’m sensing the presence of a new opponent, more powerful than we’ve ever seen.

Ryo: And yet you’re not running over me to find him, it’s not like you. This one must be really bad.

Ryo follows Cyberdramon to his new opponent.
