Right now, the group and their partner Digimon were facing down a very powerful opponent in MetalTyrannomon.
"Let's put this guy on the extinct list!" said Rusty.
"But he's an Ultimate Digimon!" said Zach.
"You're right; this is a job for Lilamon!" said Rusty with a big smile.
"As much as I question your reason for bringing her out, that may be a good idea right now." said Stella as she pushes a button on her artifact; only for nothing to happen.
"What's wrong with it?" asked Liam.
"I don't know." said Stella as she pushes the button repeatedly.
"Dang it." said Rusty.
"I wish we knew how these artifacts worked!" said Clyde as he tries to use his artifact.
"I don't think we have the time to figure that out right now!" said Lincoln as he points at MetalTyrannomon who was holding his left hand out towards the group as blue energy was being channeled into it.
"Nuclear Laser!" said MetalTyrannomon.
"Horn Impulse!" said GeoGreymon as he rams MetalTyrannomon's arm, making it point away from the group as a massive blue laser fires out of it towards a far end of the area, causing a powerful explosion that destroys several buildings with ease.
"Too close! Too close!" said Rusty.
"Thanks, GeoGreymon!" said Lincoln. MetalTyrannomon looks at GeoGreymon with a glare and swings his arm at him, hitting the side of his head and knocking him to the ground.
"That was for interfering!" said MetalTyrannomon.
"Let's get him!" said Gaogamon as he and the rest of the group charges at their opponent.
"Lion Sword!" said Leomon as he swings his sword, only for it to be blocked by one of MetalTyrannomon's arms.
"Kittens shouldn't play with sharp objects!" said MetalTyrannomon as he swings his tail around and knocks Leomon's sword out of his hand; the tail comes back around a second time and whacks him, sending him flying through a factory wall, causing some rubble to fall on him.
"Leomon!" shouts Rusty.
"Powerful Punch!" said Golemon as he strikes MetalTyrannomon across his face, barely even fazing him.
"Giga Destroyer 2!" shouts MetalTyrannomon as he fires a missile out of his right hand, point blank, into Golemon's chest, sending him crashing to the ground.
"Golemon!" shouts Zach as he runs over to check on his friend.
"That had to hurt." said Rusty as he was digging through the rubble for his companion.
"Sunshine Explosion!" said Sunflowmon as she fires seeds from her petals that hit MetalTyrannomon in the face and explode on impact; but all they seemed to do is annoy him.
"Time to do some weeding!" said MetalTyrannomon as he slashes at Sunflowmon with its right-hand claws, making her fall to the ground.
"Sunflowmon!" said Stella as she runs to her partner.
"Double Claw!" shouts Gaogamon as he swings his front paws at MetalTyrannomon, but he blocked them with his right arm; he then swings his tail at Gaogamon and hits him with it, knocking him to the ground.
"Gaogamon!" shouts Clyde, running to Gaogamon.
"Razor Wind!" shouts Reppamon as he swings his tail, releasing a blade of wind from it and it hits MetalTyrannomon, but barely fazing him. He charges at Reppamon and kicks him, sending him flying and landing near Liam.
"Are you okay, partner?!" asked Liam as he runs to Reppamon.
"I will never understand how Phantomon was destroyed by a bunch of weaklings." said MetalTyrannomon. "But I guess it was because you were in Ultimate Forms; too bad you don't know how to work those artifacts. Shame; I was hoping for a challenge."
"We should make a run for it." Lincoln says to his friends. They all look around and see a bridge going over a large ditch; but before they could make a run for it, MetalTyrannomon fires another Giga Destroyer 2 at it, destroying it.
"Don't even try escaping!" said MetalTyrannomon.
"Now what, Lincoln?" asked Clyde.
"I don't know." said Lincoln. Suddenly, the Digimon stand in front of the kids and stare at MetalTyrannomon.
"We will not let you hurt our friends!" said GeoGreymon.
"If you want to get to them, then you'll have to go through us!" said Leomon as he holds out the sword he recovered.
"So be it!" said MetalTyrannomon as he and the kids' Digimon charged at each other. The kids watch their partners fight their opponent with everything they had, but soon, MetalTyrannomon overwhelmed them, leaving them lying on the ground, barely able to move.
"This isn't good!" said Rusty.
"He's too powerful." said Lincoln as he looks GeoGreymon over.
With Zach, he was checking on Golemon who had a lot of cracks all over his body and mask.
"Hang in there, Golemon!" said Zach as he rubs his partner's mask.
"We're sorry we can't beat him." Golemon said weakly.
"That doesn't matter to me." said Zach with tears in his eyes. "We have to get you out of here." A shadow suddenly looms over him; he looks to see MetalTyrannomon holding his hand out towards him.
"Like I told you all before; don't even try escaping." said MetalTyrannomon as he glares at Zach.
"Zach, get out of there!" said Lincoln. His and his friends' Digimon tried to get up, but the battle took too much of their strength out of them.
"Can't...move." said GeoGreymon.
"We have to do something." said Reppamon as he tries getting to his feet.
MetalTyrannomon starts to gather energy into his left hand.
"Time to make up for my Cape MOD failure!" said MetalTyrannomon. Zach covers as much of Golemon's body as he could with his while closing his eyes; as he does, a stray tear falls from them and falls onto his artifact which suddenly starts to shine brightly.
"ARRRGGGHH!" shouts MetalTyrannomon as he staggers blindly while the attack he was charging fires away from everyone, hitting another large factory, completely annihilating it.
"Zach, your artifact!" said Clyde. Zach opens his eyes and sees his artifact was shining with one of the buttons on it glowing brightly.
"Is it..." Zach started to say before he presses the button, making Golemon glow; the cracks on his body disappear as he starts to spin.
"Golemon...Digivolve to..." Golemon started to say as he spins faster while glowing; when he stopped, he looked like Gotsumon, but made of crystal. "...Meteormon!"
"That's Gotsumon's Ultimate Form?" asked Rusty. Zach looks up Meteormon's information on his artifact.
"That's Meteormon." said Zach. "Ultimate Level, Ore Type, Data Attribute; his special attack is Galactic Flare."
"Not as cool as I thought he was going to be." said Stella.
"Well, I like aliens, and meteors are from space like they are; so I guess I'm okay with this." said Zach. MetalTyrannomon gets his vision back and he glares at Meteormon.
"Don't think this changes anything!" said MetalTyrannomon as he holds out his left hand and charges another attack. "Nuclear Laser!" Another destructive beam of energy fires out towards Meteormon.
"Invincibility!" said Meteormon as he crosses his arms in front of him as MetalTyrannomon's attack hits, causing a large explosion that forces everyone to close their eyes.
"Meteormon!" shouts Zach. MetalTyrannomon looks at the smoke with a big grin.
"What did you expect?" asked MetalTyrannomon. "He was just a little peb..." He stops when the dust clears and he sees Meteormon completely unharmed.
"He's okay!" said Zach.
"Not even a scratch!" shouts MetalTyrannomon.
"Big Bang Blow!" shouts Meteormon as he throws a punch that hits MetalTyrannomon in the stomach so hard it causes a shockwave, and brings him to his knees in pain.
"How... dare... you." said MetalTyrannomon. All of a sudden, Meteormon does another Big Bang Blow attack right in MetalTyrannomon's face that sends him flying through one wall of a factory and out the one on the other side.
"Cyborg or not, that had to hurt!" said Rusty.
"I reckon." said Liam. MetalTyrannomon slowly gets to his feet and points his right hand towards Meteormon.
"Giga Destroyer 2!" shouts MetalTyrannomon as he fires a missile out of his hand.
"Falling Star!" shouts Meteormon as he drops a meteor onto the incoming projectile, destroying it.
"This isn't happening!" said MetalTyrannomon as he fires another missile at Meteormon, only for him to do what he did to the last one.
"I can keep this up as long as you can." said Meteormon.
"That does it!" shouts MetalTyrannomon as he loses his patience. "I'll grind you into cosmic dust with my bare hands!" He then charges at Meteormon in a blind rage.
"Galactic Flare!" shouts Meteormon as he raises his arms up and creates a large purple portal above him; hundreds of purple meteors rain down onto MetalTyrannomon with each one exploding on impact.
"AUUUUUUGGGHHH!" shouts MetalTyrannomon as Meteormon attack does critical damage to his cybernetic limbs and organic body.
"Nice one!" said Clyde. MetalTyrannomon staggers slowly towards the group with sparks coming out of his cybernetics and him twitching.
"SYSTEM... FAILURE!" said MetalTyrannonmon in a robotic voice. "CRITICAL MASS IMMINENT!"
"Critical mass?" said Rusty.
"I've heard that from some of Lisa's inventions before." said Lincoln.
"What does it mean?" asked Clyde.
"We gotta get out of here before he explodes!" said Lincoln. The kids Digimon return to their Rookie Forms while Meteormon turns into Motimon, and they all run for their lives with Zach carrying his partner across another bridge that wasn't destroyed; seconds later, MetalTyrannomon stiffens up and falls to the ground, exploding immediately after he does, obliterating a large portion of Faulty Ex Machina, including the Vilemon that was watching everything. Later, the group were busy catching their breath.
"Man, that was close." said Clyde.
"I'm glad we got far from that explosion." said Stella.
"Well, I'm really glad we don't have to deal with MetalTyrannomon anymore." said Rusty. Zach looks at Motimon who was still in his arms.
"Man, Motimon, your Ultimate Form was amazing." said Zach.
"Thank you, Zach." said Motimon. Liam looks at his artifact.
"I hope we figure out how to use these here artifacts before we meet up with another one of Titamon's generals." said Liam.
"I'm sure we will." replied Lincoln. "But in the meantime, let's get to the next artifact."
At Titamon's lair, NeoMyotismon and Cerberusmon were both looking at the blank projection.
"I can't believe those humans defeated MetalTyrannomon!" shouts Cerberusmon.
"We must make sure those kids don't reach the remaining artifacts." said NeoDevimon. "We will do whatever it takes to make sure they never make it to them."
Will Lincoln and his friends find the remaining two artifacts before Titamon's forces stop them? Wait and find out.
