Digiworld. The group arrives, and sees the Digiworld in ruins.

"What happened here?" asked Tai.

"Who could have done this?" asked Mimi.

"Mimi is that you?" asked a voice.

The group turns around to see Chuumon crawl out of a bunch of grass behind them.

"Chuumon?" asked Mimi.

"It is you." said Chuumon, jumping into Mimi's arms.

"What happened?" asked Mimi.

"After you guys left File Island, Sucomon and I did our normal routines, eating, eating, and more eating. But then the Digital World began to break apart. And he fell deep into the Earth. I never saw him again. Then we learned the 4 Dark Masters turned most of the Digiworld into Spiral Mountain." said Chuumon.

Chuumon points to a mountain in the sky.

"That's Spiral Mountain, where the Dark Masters now live." said Chuumon.

"The Dark Masters? Who are they?" asked Matt.

Just then the sky grows dark. A huge sea monster with a metallic body arrives.

"Oh, no. It's Metal Sedramon!" said Chuumon.

"Let's take him down." said Tai.

"Agumon digivolve to Greymon!"

"Gabumon digivolve to Garurumon!"

"Tentomon digivolve to Kabuterimon!"

"Biyomon digivolve to Birdramon!"

"Palmon digivolve to Togemon!"

"Gomamon digivolve to Ikakumon!"

"Patamon digivolve to Angemon!"

"Gatomon digivolve to Angewomon!"

"Nova Blast!" said Greymon.

"Howling Blaster!" said Garurumon.

"Horn Buster!" said Kabuterimon.

"Meteor Wing!" said Birdramon.

"Needle Spray!" said Togemon.

"Photon Torpedo!" said Ikakumon.

"Hand of Faith!" said Angemon.

"Heaven's Charge!" said Angewomon.

The 8 blasts strike Metal Sedramon. The blasts deflect backwards.

"He's a mega digimon. No way could 8 champion digimon defeat him." said Izzy.

"RIVER OF POWER!" yelled Metal Sedramon.

The blast hits the ground, and the group goes flying down into a black hole.

New area. The group lands in another forest.

"I'll look ahead." said Angemon.

Angemon walks forward.

"GIGA CANNON!" yelled a voice.

An energy blast strikes Angemon, dedigivolving him to Patamon. Tk runs up to Patamon, and picks him up.

"Patamon are you okay?" asked Tk.

Patamon opens his eyes, and looks up at Tk.

"I think so." said Patamon.

Evil laughter is heard, as a machine digimon walks out of the forest.

"Who is this guy?" asked Tai.

"It's Machindramon, another Dark Master." said Chuumon.

"And he's another mega digimon." said Izzy.

"Greymon digivolve to Metal Greymon!"

"Garurumon digivolve to Were Garurumon!"

"Birdramon digivolve to Garudamon!"

"Kabuterimon digivolve to Mega Kabuterimon!"

"Togemon digivolve to Lillymon!"

"Ikakumon digivolve to Zudomon!"

"Giga Blasters!" said Metal Greymon.

"Metal Wolf Claw!" said Were Garurumon.

"Wing Blade!" said Garudamon.

"Horn Buster!" said Mega Kabuterimon.

"Flower Cannon!" said Lillymon.

"Super Thunder Strike!" said Zudomon.

"Heaven's Charge!" said Angewomon.

The 7 blasts strike him. Machindramon deflects the blasts.

"GIGA CANNON!" yelled Machindramon.

The group falls down into another black hole. The group continues to fall and then stops in an area that is just black air.

"Why have we stopped in the middle of nothing?" asked Mimi.

Just then Garudamon and Were Garurumon begin fighting.

"Garudamon, stop that!" yelled Sora.

"You too, Were Garurumon." said Matt.

"We can't stop it." said Were Garurumon.

"Our bodies are doing this by themselves." said Garudamon.

"What? By themselves?" asked Sora.

Sora's fingers move by themselves. Then they hear laughter. A wooden puppet digimon appears out of nowhere.

"Who are you?" asked Izzy.

"Maybe you should look it up on your computer." said Puppetmon.

Puppetmon using strings, guides Izzy's fingers on the computer, to find Puppetmon.

"He's Puppetmon, another mega digimon." said Izzy.

"I'd love to play with you some more, but it's time for you to go. Puppet Pummel!" yelled Puppetmon.

The blast dedigivolves the digimon back into their rookie forms, except for Gatomon. Then he cuts the strings, and they fly once more into the blackness below.

New area. The group wakes up, and looks around. It resembles the Roman Coliseum. A clown stands there.

"Look. It's a clown." said Tai.

"Once upon a time there were digidestined. They tried to climb Spiral Mountain to destroy the Dark Masters. But the Dark Masters destroyed them. The End." said clown.

"Sorry, clown. I don't like the sound of your story." said Tai.

"Me neither." said Matt.

The clown transforms into Piedmon.

"It's Piedmon. The last of the Dark Masters!" said Chuumon.

"It's time to take you down!" said Tai.

"Agumon warp digivolve to War Greymon!"

"Gabumon warp digivolve to Metal Garurumon!"

Metal Greymon and War Greymon stand together.

"Giga Missile!" said Metal Garurumon.

"Terror Force!" said War Greymon.

"Trump Swords!" said Piedmon.

Piedmon throws the swords which destroy the 2 blasts, and dedigivolve the 2 digimon back to Agumon and Gabumon.

"Agumon!" said Tai.

"Gabumon!" said Matt.

Tai and Matt run up to their digimon.

"No. Why couldn't someone else have been chosen to save the world?" asked Mimi.

"You're constant whining is annoying me. You're going to be the first one. Right, guys?" asked Piedmon.

Puppetmon, Machindramon, and Metal Sedramon arrive.

"How can we fight all of them, when we couldn't beat them separately?" asked Tai.

Candlemon leaps out of Kari's arms.

"Candlemon digivolve to Sorcermon!"

Sorcermon fires at the 4 Dark Masters. Chuumon leaps out of Mimi's hands, and attacks them. Piedmon deflects the 2 blasts, hurling them in 2 different directions. Just then Piximon arrives onto the scene.

"Piximon?" asked Tai.

"Come with me. I can hide you for now." said Piximon.

Piximon tosses something, causing pink smoke. When the smoke clears, Piximon, Sorcermon, Chuumon, and the digidestined are gone.

"FIND THEM!" yelled Piedmon.

Machindramon, Puppetmon, and Metal Sedramon leave to find the digidestined. Soon Piedmon leaves, still angry.

Piximon's home. The group appears.

"Piximon? Where are we?" asked Tai.

"At my home. Don't your recognize it?" asked Piximon.

"Now I do. Thanks for rescuing us." said Tai.

"Tai, Matt. Your digimon may be the digital world's only hope. You must train and practice here. But I don't know how long we will be safe here." said Piximon.

Tai and Matt nod. Piximon shows the digidestined to their rooms, and they head to their rooms to relax. For the next day will be heavy training.

Spiral Mountain. The 4 Dark Masters are now together.

"I can't believe Piximon saved them. Does anyone know where his home is?" asked Piedmon.

"No. He hides it with his magic." said Metal Sedramon.

"But maybe they will talk." said Macindramon.

Macindramon turns on a screen. The group looks on the screen to see Whamon chained up in an underwater cave. Many cages lie on the ground next to the lake. Monzaemon, Frigimon, Meramon, Andromon, Elecmon, Leomon, Numemons, Otamons, Gekomons, Whamon, Sukamon, Shogunmon, and Drimogemon are in the many cages.

"If they don't know where Piximon's home is, once the digidestined surface, we can force them to surrender, or we hurt these digimon." said Piedmon, laughing.

"I knew it was good that we saved some of the digimon, instead of destroying them with the others." said Metal Sedramon, laughing.

Pixmon's home. Gennai rides Centarumon into his home.

"Gennai? Centarumon?" asked Piximon.

Gennai climbs off Centarumon, and the 2 walk forward to talk with Piximon

"The Dark Masters didn't kill all the digimon they encountered. Many are prisoners on Spiral Mountain." said Gennai.

"And they'll probably use them as bait." said Piximon.

Izzy had heard the conversation, and ran to tell the others what happened. Soon they had all changed, and were all outside talking with Gennai, Centarumon, and Piximon.

"I'm sorry. But as I said before, you're not strong enough yet to defeat the Dark Masters. You must stay here and train." said Piximon.

"Centarumon and I will now go see if we can find any other digimon before the Dark Masters capture or destroy them." said Gennai.

"Good luck, Gennai. We hope to see your safe return." said Piximon.

Gennai climbs onto Centarumon. Centarumon rides away, while Piximon leads the digidestined into training.

"Good luck, Gennai. Although I doubt you'll find many digimon. As for me, I don't know how long I can keep these kids and their digimon hidden from the Dark Masters. They're bound to find us eventually. We just have to train hard, and hope it's enough." thought Piximon.
