******************

Chapter Begins:

Kai felt as if an entire mountain had rammed into him.

He skidded back and back, creating a sandstorm, grey of color.

But just before he could reach the ladies standing behind him, he stopped.

The Inferi growled in the distance as if it couldn't believe it.

Kai looked at it with his dead eyes and squeezed. The vertical slash of brightness shattered like glass under the might of Advance Selfless Breathing, even though the Proficiency had fallen by 10%.

"AHHHHH!" Red Sun roared like a mad bull in the distance as he saw RizeGreymon returning to the Beast Ball. "You all made me do this!"

The .45 Long Colt revolver burst out with silver light in Red Sun's hand and his entire hand transformed into a long, silver cannon, with angelic faces and wings jutting out of it.

The Angel Arm!

"Red Sun!" Kai shouted. "You damn fool!"

He spun around hurriedly and looked at Meg, Spawn, and Moraine.

Then his feet began to sink in his shadow. The ladies must have sensed the coming of an apocalypse as they jumped down in his shadow as well.

The Shadow Realm was a different dimension altogether, not sharing any physical characteristics with the world outside.

And yet, Kai could have sworn he felt the tremors.

After a few minutes, when they walked out, the world had changed.

The grey of before had gained a silverish-red glow. The broken grey earth had vanished, leaving behind a massive crater as if a meteor had fallen here, ending worldly life.

Kai heard several gulps behind him. He didn't blame them.

Kai himself had no way to say for sure if he could survive a head-on blow from this attack. Not without using his Reality Marble, at least.

A dark silhouette rippled out in the distance, taking the shape of a handless Red Sun. It happened whenever he used this attack, losing his right hand in return.

His glasses were gone, his yellow hair had darkened, and his red coat was in tatters.

This was a great price he paid to use this attack… a price worth every penny.

The only thing was that this attack was meant to be a sure kill, as it left Red Sun pretty much defenseless and powerless.

So when three more silhouettes appeared behind Red Sun, Kai's eyes narrowed into needles.

And when he saw what happened next, his eyes almost popped out.

The three silhouettes behind Red Sun belonged to the three surviving Inferi Knights, their armor gone, bones dangling from here and there.

Suddenly, the three Inferi walked toward each other… into each other.

A 12 ft tall Inferi appeared in the place of the three knights, pulsing with the power of a Mid-level 10th-floor Contestant.

GRRRRRR!!!

The Inferi let out a mix of piercing, beastly screech and jumped toward Red Sun, the glossy ground beneath its feet shattering upon the push.

Sounga appeared in Kai's hand, the end of his white hair turning yellow.

It was then the black bolt of lightning returned… pretty much out of nowhere.

It struck the ground between Red Sun and the incoming Inferi and condensed, taking the form of something as tall as the Inferi itself.

Vrooom!

Vroom!!!

The sound of the Behemoth was so loud that it split apart the dust, wind, and tension.

"Haha!" the laugh reverberated along with the roaring of engines. "Now that's what you call a worthy opponent!"

An enormous bike with a red shield lunged out from the black bolt as it condensed completely.

Sitting on the bike was a huge, humanoid Digimon, wearing a biker's jacket, pants, and boots.

He had a bird-like mask on his face and his hair was platinum-gold. From its back, a massive and long, black steel tail whipped at the air, adding to the beastly roar of the behemoth's engines.

The Mega Digimon spun the bike like a master of speed and darkness, taking out one of the two massive shotguns from the holster at its waist — Berenjana.

Bang!

The Digimon fired, hit the Inferi's chest, and sent it flying into the distance.

"Haha!" It laughed, enjoying itself, and chased the Inferi on the bike. The speed was so great that the Digimon caught up to the Inferi before it even fell.

Bang!

Another shot at the Inferi's back sent it up into the sky.

With a blur, the Digimon disappeared and reappeared in the sky, his two large shotguns ready and aimed at the rising Inferi.

Vroom!!!

On the burned land, the black-red bike roared out with a Vroom, lifting its front, as if it had a life of its own.

Well, it was alive.

The bike was no ordinary tool, but a summoned Digimon itself, named Behemoth.

And the one who had summoned it was none other than the Evil King Digimon, one of the seven Great Demon Lords —

— Beelzemon — the Duelist of Finality!

The Digimon held out the shotguns and fired them together. 

The entire Inferi burst apart as the black-purple bullets hit it, shattering it on the impact. 

"Haha! Damn good!"

Silence.

…

Beelzemon fell back to the ground with a pressing majesty.

Not only was he tall, but the darkness about him was simply charismatic, giving him a cool, impressive appearance.

This appearance also hid his merciless nature from the eyes.

Beelzemon was indeed a proud Digimon, but he was no saint.

The only reason he didn't fight weaker opponents was more related to disdainfulness and less to kindness. He detested fighting against someone weaker than him.

Such type of Digimon, and that too of Mega level, didn't just let themselves get stolen, captured, or enslaved by a master.

And Beelzemon was proudest of them all.

The Digimon didn't put the shotguns back into holsters at his waist.

Instead, now grinning, it walked toward Kai and others, the Behemoth Digital Lifeform vanishing behind him.

Red Sun, now missing his right hand and regaining his original form, was lying on the burned grounds between Kai and Digimon.

Red Sun looked up at the Great Demon Lord, shook his head, and gulped down two HP capsules.

Beelzemon stepped over Red Sun and passed by him without giving him a look.

"Let's cut his dick off," Sounga said, shining with an evil, purple glow.

Kai put the Item back, looking up at the Digimon who had stopped a mere dozen feet away from him.

Beelzemon spun the shotguns between his fingers, smiling.

"Fight me," he said. "Fight me like you mean it."

That's how Kai and Red Sun had managed to get him.

Or, better would be to say, that's how the Mega-level Digimon had accepted to enter the Beast Ball.

All he wanted to fight Kai—the most honorable fight, the Digimon had called it.

Like a hound smelling a ghost in the darkness, Beelzemon had sensed something about Kai as well then.

"I will," Kai said, carefully choosing his words. "But, as you see, I am busy now. How about a week later?"

Beelzemon cocked the shotguns and shook his head.

"That's no good," he said. "Not at all. I want to see how much I have progressed since the last time. Hell, I want to see how much you have progressed."

Kai and Beelzemon looked at each other, into each other's eyes and souls.

And both grinned.

"Very well," Kai nodded, lifting a hand to stop Meg at her place. "I do not have time, Bee. I hope you will not mind me skipping a few steps and entering the good parts."

"Haha!" the Digimon guffawed, stepping back. "You just took the words out of my mouth."

One moment they were standing, measuring each other.

In the next moment, they vanished, leaving behind a group of gobsmacked people.
