While Tai, Sora, Matt, T.K., Izzy, Mimi, and Joe are on a summer camp something mysterious happens. The weather has gone mad and the kids witness how seven shining objects levitate down to the children from the sky. When the seven children take those objects they get teleported to another reality. The children later understand that the objects that "fell" from the sky are actually called "digivices". In this alternate reality the kids meet strange creatures that call themselves digital monsters - "digimon". They appear to be friendly and help the children later on when they are attacked by a giant red beetle-like digimon know as Kuwagamon. The children soon reach the ledge of a cliff after being chased. The seven digimon run after the Kuwagamon and with the help of the digivices they all digivole into what is know as the "rookie" stage. They all attack the Kuwagamon at one time and think they defeat him so they celebrate, but it was an early one. The Kuwagamon makes a crack in the ledge and the digi destined along with the digimon fall off the ledge.

The digi-destined falling off of the ledge of the cliff. Once they land into the water Gomamon, who is Joe's digimon, calls on his fish friends and they rescue the digimon and the digi-destined. The fish trasport them onto an new area that has telephones that have have either no power or are broken. After a while the children begin to get bored and do various things until a Shellmon appears. The digimon are to weak to do anything from being so hungry and can't fight off the Shellmon. Agumon had fortunately eaten a candy bar that gave him enough energy to fight. Soon Agumon digivolves into the next level which is champion as Greymon and defeats the Shellmon with a Nova Blast.

After the battle with Shellmon the kids encounter two digimon trying to fight over territory which they quickly run away from. Soon there after the digi-destined find an abonded bus which they decide to spend the night in. Later during the night a Seadramon attacks the bus while everyone is asleep in the bus. Gabumon uses the help of Matt and his Friendship to digivolve into Garurumon. With a Howling Blaster, Garurumon defeats the Seadramon and the digi-destined and the digimon spend the rest of the night in the bus.

The digimon and the digi-destined continue to travel following the phone lines and end up in a Yokomon village at the foot of Mt. Miharashi which is a village. The Yokomon are a pre-digivolution of Biyomon. The Yokomon end up housing and feeding everyone of their visitors. At one point when everyone was rested one of the local Yokomon spots the Meramon, a fire digimon, which gaurds the village get hit by a black gear. The digimon's attacks are useless against Meramon. Biyomon sees Sora in danger and digivolves into Birdramon, the champion form of Biyomon, and drives the black gear out of the Meramon which was controlling him the whole time.

The kids reach a factory which they see produces useless items but it produces power at the same time. After some time an Andromon is spotted which is trapped, the kids easily free him. The kids receive a surprise after receiving an attack as compensation for their deed. Augumon and Gabumon having enough energy to digivolve in their respective champion levels which are defeated by the Ultimate level digimon. Still the champions manage to injure his leg which proves useful. Tentomon, finally digivolves into Kabuterimon and with an Electro Shocker dislodges a black gear from Adromon's wounded leg. Andromon leads the children into a tunnel that will leave the factory.

A Numemon group attacks the digi-destined while they are in the sewer tunnel. They run away into a town know as Toy Town and end up being seperated. Most of the kids begin to play with the toys in the town and an attack by Monzaemon ends up having them controlled. The only one that isn't controlled is Mimi. Mimi discovers that the Monzaemon is what is making the rest of the team weird. So with the help of a Numemon, who has a crush on Mimi, they attack the Monzaemon without being successful. After some time of attacks Palmon digivolves into Togemon and drives the Black Gear out of the Monzaemon with Needle Spray her main attack. Monzaemon apologizes and the kids head in further into the adventure.

The kids discover Infinity Island and begin to dispute over whether to climb it or not. Tai says they should so they can see if there are any surrounding islands around. Matt on the other hand says it would be to to dangerous for them. Joe gets tired of hearing the others bickering so he climbs Infinity Mountain on his own. Along the way a Unimon attacks Joe and Gomamon. Sora and Tai notice this and help Joe out. Biyomon digivolves into Birdramon but isn't successful at stopping the Unimon. Joe's Gomamon digivolves into Ikkakumon after some time and with a Harpoon Torpedo drives the Black gear out of Unimon. Since they digi-destined were already halfway up the mountain they climb the rest of the way. They see once at the top of the mountain that there are no other surrounding islands for them to go to.

Atop Infinity Mountain the kids meet Devimon who reveals himself as the controller of the black gears. He and an Ogremon along with a controlled Leomon attack the kids who soon flee. As they run away they find and a enter a mansion. The mansion turns out to be a creation of Devimon and attacks the kids once more. Sora's digivice activates and somehow drives the black gear out of Leomon. As a thanks Leomon stays behind and holds off Ogremon long enough for the children to get away. Devimon destroys File Island which causes for the children to be separated from each other but not their respective digimon.

Agumon and Tai are the first to be seen separated from the rest of the team. Frigimon attacks the two of them and Agumon defeats Frigimon without having to digivolve. Under control of the Black Gears Frigimon backs off once the gear is destroyed. Frigimon leads Agumon and Tai to another frozen island where they encounter Matt and Gabumon. Matt doesn't listen to Gabumon's advice and goes in search of his brother T.K. in the cold. In turn he catches a very severe cold. When Matt returns to the area where Tai is another black gear controlled digimon known as Mojyamon attacks them. Agumon and Gabumon digivolve into their champion forms to defeat Mojyamon and notice that they are now much closer to Infinity Mountain once again.

Mimi and Palmon are attacked by Sukamon and Chuumon. They both promptly defeated and reveal that Izzy and Tentomon landed on the next island. Mimi and Palmon travel to that island to reunite with them. After entering a labyrinth Mimi and Tentomon become lost in it and are attacked by Centarumon. Izzy and Palmon free the other two and help defeat Centarumon. Soon there after Leomon reappears and attacks the children and the digimon. All the while he describes revelations about what the Digivices' can do and what they can't do.

Joe and Gomamon end up with Sora, Biyomon in an island that is inhabited by digimon ghost know as Bakemon. A group of the Bakemon capture the four and intend to the humans along with the digimon. After being imprisoned the two captured digimon use their smarts to trick the gaurd Bakemon into giving away some food. The food replenishes the digimon's strength thus allowing them to digivolve to defeat the group. Joe uses a chanting that distracts the Bakemon and gives enough time for Gomamon, then Ikkakumon, to defeat Lord Bakemon.

T.K and Patamon end up in a small town know as Primary Village, which is where all baby digimon are born as eggs, and are mistaken as intruders by a digimon know as Elecmon. Elecmon begins to fight with Patamon but the digimon babies begin to cry from the fighting. So T.k suggest that the problems be solved over a game of tug-o-war which Patamon end up winning. Elecmon, T.K, and Patamon learn that when they are working together that File Island will be restored to normal.

Leomon attacks T.K and Patamon with the help of Ogremon. But before they can do any real damage the rest of the team arrives. Using the power of the digivices, the black gears in Leomon are dislodged and he is restored to normal. Leomon tells the team about the prophecies of the DigiDestined that says that they will bring peace back to the island. Realizing that they could return home by defeating Devimon, the team sets out to confront Devimon and finish him off once and for all at Infinity Mountain. Devimon absorbs multiple black gears and grows in size and in strength so even in a digivolved state the digimon fail to defeat Devimon. Patamon, wanting to help out somehow digivolves into Angemon and using all of his strength and power defeats Devimon using his main attack know as "Hand of Fate." Since all of the energy was used up in the fight Angemon turns into a digi egg where he will one day be born again.

The digi destined find are confronted by a hologram of the person known as Gennai. Gennai persuades the team to travel to the continent of Server to defeat another enemy terrorizing the digi world. He also explains that if they can find the crests and tags that Devimon hid, the digimon will be able to digivolve into stronger forms. Using wood from trees a raft is built and the team is now en route to Server. On they way a Whamon swallows them and end up in the stomach. A black gear is seen and is destroyed revealing Whamon's true form. As a thanks for being freed from the gear, he takes the team to where Devimon hid the tags. Whamon ends up in a cave where the tags are and the children are released from Whamon's innards. A Drimogemon is guarding the tags and is promptly defeated giving up the tags.

The kids arrive at Server and encounter a village inhabited by Pagumon. With the help of the Gazimon they imprisoned the real inhabitants of the village, the Koromon. The kids help the Koromon escape their imprisonment and the Pagumon leave the area. Soon thereafter Etemon arrives and using his Dark Network attack destroys the whole village. The digimon try to digivolve but Etemon stops it using his Concert Crush attack which reverts digimon back to weaker forms stop the process. The team is forced to retreat into a where in the end Tai find the Crest of Courage.

Izzy explains the certain requirements that digimon need to have in order to digivolve. They are that the partner must be in danger and that they must have a lot of energy. Tai wants to see Agumon digivolve so he give Agumon as much food as he can if it were needed. Joe's tag indicates that his tag is in a coliseum nearby. Etemon once again appears and uses an evil Greymon to attack the team. Agumon digivolves into SkullGreymon after not being able to defeat the other Greymon as Greymon. With new strength SkullGreymon defeats the Greymon much more easily. Now with nothing to do the SkullGreymon turns on the team and attacks them with no end in sight up until he runs out of energy. The search for Joe's tag continues and results in the finding of the tag.

The team is walking down a desert when Gennai's illusion appears to tell them that they must take care of the digimon or else they won't digivolve properly as Agumon did. Later on a cruise ship appears almost out of nowhere and everyone goes aboard it. It turns out though the it is piloted by Cockatorimon who is one of Etemon's henchmen. He captures the boys of the team and changes the their digimon into stone. Birdramon and Togemon fight off Cockatorimon and free the boys and their digimon. The whole team manages to escape but not for long. Cockatorimon chases the team on his ship up until a giant cactus appears and Cockatorimon crashes into it. Mimi finds her Crest of Sincerity near the cactus and the team continue the adventure.

The team is attacked by Kuwagamon and when Agumon fails to digivolve because of being scared of turning back in to Skullgreymon Piximon helps the team out. Piximon offers the team training at his facility and leads Agumon and Tai into a cave. The others do manual labor around the facility which helps out Matt and Izzy find their crests. Later on a Tyrannomon attacks the team and Agumon and Tai reappear in time to defeat the Tyrannomon.

The team answers an E-mail asking for help which leads the team to a cave engraved in Digi-Codes. They learn that the whole digital world is just data even themselves included. A few of the kids go out to the source of the e-mail who turns out to be Datamon who has been held captive by Etemon for years. Datamon is released but turns on them and attacks them as well as Etemon. Before fleeing he captures Sora and Biyomon. Tai tries to follow them but Izzy warns him that any damge he takes in the digi world he will take in the real world.

The team goes after Datamon who still has Sora and Biyomon in captivity. While a few of them provide a distraction Tai and Agumon enter Datamon's pyramid where Datamon tries to make a copy of Sora. Tai and Sora manage to escape as Etemon attacks Datamon. Datamon opens up a black pit to throw Etemon in but everything in the pyramid including Etemon, Datamon, and Etemons team are taken in. Etemon manages to escape the pit and as he does Greymon digivolves into his ultimate for MetalGreymon. He is powerful enough to defeat Etemon and after words is sucked into the pit which is a dimensional rift.

Tai and Koromon are pulled the the rift and end up back on earth. Tai find his way back home and visits his little sister Kari. Kari seems to be knowledgeable about the Digi-World. Tai discovers that evil digimon are using the same rift that he went through are causing damage to the real world. Koromon digivolves into Agumon to battle Ogremon and returns to the Digi World to help his friends. Tai wanted to stay with Kari but follows Agumon back into the Digi World.

Tai and Agumon return to the Digital World to find Tokomon. Tokomon tells the two of what happened during the time Agumon and Tai were away which is several weeks. Tai finds out that the entire team has separated and DemiDevimon has tricked T.K into being his friend. Tai, Agumon, and Koromon follow T.K and DemiDevimon until Agumon is able to make T.K realize that DemiDevimon has evil intentions. Tokomon digivolves into Patamon and sends DemiDevimon away. The search for the rest of the team also begins afterwards.

Matt and Gabumon enter a digimon owned restaurant and discover that Joe is being forced to work for Vegimon for not being able to pay off a food bill. Later on accidents happen in the restaraunt which make Joe become even more entangled in debt that makes Matt, who is also know working to pay off debt, question Joe's friendship. DemiDevimon has ordered Vegimon who is like his henchmen to keep Joe working there forever. Tai and T.K arrive and reveal that DemiDevimon is an evil digimon. A battle follows and put T.K's life in danger which Joe saves by putting himself at risk. Gabumon digivoles into Garurumon to help out in the battle but as he sees that Joe is a true friend this gives Garurumon the energy with the help of the crest to digivolve into WereGarurumon who defeats Vegimon.

Izzy and Tentomon begin to search for the real Gennai and meet a digimon Vademon who traps them in a bottomless pit. Vademon tricks Izzy into giving up his curiosty and his possessions, which are the tags and crest. They are promptly taken to DemiDevimon. Tentomon feels that he is going to lose Izzy and digivolves backwards into Motimon. Motimon helps Izzy find his tag, crest and his curiosity. Motimon is able to digivolve back into Kabuterimon but as the battle goes on he starts to lose up until he digivolves into MegaKabuterimon. MegaKabuterimon is powerful enough to defeat Vademon and the two are sent back to the digiworld where they meet up with Matt, T.K, Patamon, and Tsunomon.

Joa and Tai having split up from Matt and T.K to search for the others discover Mimi's location and find her being treated like a princess by the Geckomon. She was taken there so that with her beautiful singing she could wake up ShogunGeckomon. Mimi starts to act like a cruel princess and has Sora, Tai, and Joe along with the digimon be locked up in the dungeon after Tai calls her a spoiled brat. At night she has a nightmare and sees what she has become and begs for forgiveness of her friends. Sora convinces Mimi to sing and awakens ShogunGeckomon. He awakens angrily and attacks the team, but MetalGreymon appears in time to stop any damage to be done to the team. Mimi once again ask for forgiveness to her friends.

The team is now fully reunited and Sora explains to them that DemiDevimon told her that her life has never had love in it and so her crest of love would never glow. DemiDevimon encouters the team alongside new foe Myotismon. The team is promptly defeated by the new duo and all seems lost. A weakened Biyomon goes to help the team and Sora's love and concern for her makes the crest glow as well as Sora realizing that her mother does love her. Birdramon manages to digivolve into Garudamon and defeats Myotismon and the team escapes.

Gennai appears once again and tells the team that there is an eigth digidestined living in Japan. They also learn that Myotismon and his army of digimon go looking for her. The team infiltrates Myotismon's castle as they have learned that in the castle there is a portal that they can use to go to the real world. DemiDevimon finds some digimon that will help him stop the digidestined but fail to do so as the digimon digivolve. A new digimon know as Gatomon appears and makes statues turn into Devidramon. As MetalGreymon destroys the Devidramon, Gatomon closes the door to the real world after Myotismon had already gone through.

The team learns of Gennai's location and to his house under a lake. He give them ten key cards that can open the doors to the real world if they are used correctly. The kids head to Myotismon's castle once more and battle a Dokugumon who is the guardian but they don't seem to be winning and as the doors look to be closed forever Izzy at the last moment figures out the way to use the cards and the kids depart for the real world in search of the eighth digidestined.

As the team enters the real world they end up at the camp where they were warped into the Digi world. They head into Heighten View Terrace where Myotismon's army attacks them. A Mammothmon battles Birdramon and as the kids watch they remember that a bombing four years ago was actually the first digimon appearances which were by a Greymon fighting a Parrotmon. Izzy thinks that the eight child must have seen the battle as well so they continue to look for the child before Myotisomon can find the child.

The team takes the subway to get home while pretending the digimon are stuffed animals. After a while the kids are so exhausted from their adventure in the digital world that they fall asleep and end up missing their stop. They get off on the next stop and are walking on the road when luckily Sora's cousin Duane gives them a ride. Duane accidentally knocks Izzy off a bridge as a Gesomon is fighting another digimon. Just in time Motimon digivolves into Tentomon to save Izzy. Gesomon turns on Tentomon who digivolves into Ikkakumon and promptly defeats Gesomon.

Tai wonders if his sister Kari is the eight child because she was also present in the digimon fight four years ago. Elsewhere near the balcony the family cat, Miko, knocks over a digivice and chases after it. Meanwhile, Raremon has appeared and is already wreaking havoc near the bay of the city. Izzy checks his computer and a message from Gennai informs him that all the other digi destined are asleep in their homes, including Tai. Izzy feels that going to each home to wake up the others would waste time so he goes after Raremon himself. During the confrontation with Raremon, Izzy's digivice indicates that another digivice, possibly the eight child's, is nearby. While as Kabuterimon defeats Raremon, Izzy goes after the signal but the cat loses to a number of animals. A crow swoops by and graps the digivice and Izzy is unable to follow it.

The city is in a widespread panic due to recent digimon sightings and bizarre weather patterns. Sora, Mimi, Tai, and Izzy are out looking for the eight child out in the city before Myotismon can find him or her. Meanwhile Kari, Tai's sister, is out in the park and one of Myotismon's henchmen crosses paths with her. Gatomon wonders is that girl is the eighth child. Elsewhere Mimi and Sora find SkullMeramon. Togemon and Birdramon are unable to stop him even though they give their best efforts. Greymon, Tai, Kabuterimon, and Izzy appear but they still seems to be no match for him. Greymon digivolves into his ultimate, MetalGreymon, and is able to stop SkullMeramon once and for all. The team had no luck in finding the eighth child but continue to search for whoever it may be.

Matt is taking his brother T.K. home on the train when Patamon and T.K. get into a fight. Patamons flies away leaving Matt, T.K, and Gabumon looking for him. Instead though they run into two of Myotismon's henchmen known as Pumpkinmon and Gotsumon. They all run around the town causing mischief and other damage to the city. Myotismon shows up and they henchmen don't have the heart to attack the two kids. So he blasts them and they disappear. T.K and Matt think they died but it turned out they were just sent back to the Digital World. T.K gets upset from this and Patamon shows up again and digivolves into Angemon. Myotsimon flees an impending battle and the digi destined continue to search for the eight child.

WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon are unsuccessful in defeating VenomMyotismon on their own so with the help of the other digimon and the digi destined VenomMyotismon is finally defeated. Soon after the battle though the eight digi destined and the eight digimon are confronted by Gennai and are told that the Digital world is under a new danger. Now the heroes must return to the digital world to save it once more.

After defeating Myotismon the team find themselves back in the digital world and a digimon known as Chuumon tells that that the four Dark Masters have relocated to Spiral Mountain and are planning to take over the digital world. A new digimon appears known as MetalSeadramon and challenges them but the team loses as they were only champions but MetalSeadramon was a mega. Another digimon appears known as Machinedramon and the team is unable to defeat him. Now enter Puppetmon, who controls the team with strings. He tosses them over to Piedmon, the fourth Dark Master. Piximon appears in the nick of time and frees the digimon but in the process he is killed but for a great cause. The digi destined escape from the Dark Masters.

Just as Pixiemon appears to save the DigiDestined he is unfortunately defeated by the all powerful Piedmon. But this was the only chance for escape and the digital heroes took it. They managed to get away from Piedmon and ended up on the shores of one of the Digital Worlds oceans. Shellmon, once again just as before attacks the team but during the time spent in the Real World the Digimon got strong enough to defeat him with ease. Disappointed, MetalSeadramon sends one of his better followers to attack. Scorpiomon nearly succeeds in defeating the lot but Zudomon and Lilymon make short work of him. MetalSeadramon appears once more and the team fears that they are not yet powerful enough to defeat him. Are they?

Whamon appears to save the team as they are about to be defeated by MetalSeadramon and escape. MetalSeadramon and his henchmen who are Divermon go out to look for them. Izzy discovers that WarGreymon has the ability to destroy dramon type digimon like MetalSeadramon. The Divermon find Whamon and attack him as he leads them on a deep underwater chase. Since the Divermon can't swim very deep the team manages to escape. Izzy uses a Sonar device that lead to a tunnel that will get them to safety. MetalSeadramon finds them before they can escape. Whamon gets through the tunnel and end up in a bay near land. MetalSeadramon followed them through the tunnel and attacks Whamon. Agumon warp digivolves into Wargreymon who attacks MetalSeadramon as the episode ends.

WarGreymon is just about to be destroyed by MetalSeadramon when Whamon steps in and takes the hit for WarGreymon. While MetalSeadramon is stunned that he missed WarGreymon use an attack of his own "River of Power" and ultimately destroys MetalSeadramon. Tai becomes excited to be able to fight and defeat the rest of the Dark Masters. Puppetmon makes a plan to destroy the kids. He makes "voodoo" dolls of them and using them seperates Matt and T.K from the rest. Puppetmon corners T.K. and a Kiwimon attacks the others. Puppetmon is tricked by T.K. and smashes his dolls. Kiwimon is defeated by the digimon of the digi destined. Puppetmon vows to get revenge on T.K. and Matt seems to have disappeared.

Matt has mysteriously walked out on the group. Reason being is that he is unsure of what his purpose is with the Digi-Destined. He has also noticed that the others have become stronger making him less confident. Taking advantage of his unstable condition Cherrymon, a tree digimon, convinces Matt that he must defeat Tai if he is ever going to be able to get ahead. Elsewhere, Puppetmon and his henchmen, Garbagemon, attack the others. MetalGreaymon and Lilymon take care of a few Garbagemon but eventually get overpowered. Then suddenly out of nowhere Matt and MetalGarurumon suddenly appear and defeat the last of the attackers. Tai and Mat get into a vocal argument about who should be leading the group while WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon are standing by ready to protect their partner. Eventually Tai and Matt get into a fist fight and their digimon get into one massive brawl!

Matt begins to argue about why they were chosen to become the digidestined and Tai gets into an argument with him. MetalGarurumon and WarGreymon begin to fight each other defending each of their partners. Matt and Tai begin fist fighting and everyone becomes upset. Puppetmon, elsewhere, is laughing because this was his plan from the start. To separate the team from each other. An entity takes over Kari's body. Everyone starts to fly into the sky. The entity explains to them that they are surrounded by computer images from the past. The team is shown why and how they were chosen. The crests represent the best quality that the kids each had during the attack four years ago. If they lose that quality a digimon will become corrupt. Matt wants to be alone after the story and leaves. Mimi wants to stay where they are and Joe stays with her to keep her company. Everyone else departs on their own way.

A group of Woodmon are chasing Ogremon and are trying to steal his power. Later on a meteor crashes into the ground which scares the Woodmon away and traps Ogremon into a tree. Joe and Mimi find him and eventually nurse him back to health. Ogremon becomes their friend now that they helped him and. Meanwhile, the others are exploring Puppetmon's mansion. Using one of his camera's Puppetmon spots Joe and Mimi, when MetalEtemon appears. Puppetmon wants to destroy Joe and Mimi himself so he start to fight MetalEtemon. While Puppetmon is off fighting, Tai and the other exploring the mansion meet one of the guards who hats Puppetmon. They agree to lead an attack against him, this interrupts the Puppetmon fight and allows MetalEtemon to get away. Ogremon later tells Joe and Mimi that he wants to destroy Leomon but as he does MetalEtemon finds them and chases them down the Jungle. Later a digimon that is similar to Leomon appears.

SaberLeomon meet Mimi and Joe and takes them to a safe place with Ogremon. Along the way they meet Otamamon and Geckomon. Elsewhere Puppetmon challenges the others to go into a crow of tough and mean RedVegimon who are destroyed by the team later on. Puppetmon is angered by what he sees so he give life to his house and crushes the kids inside. MetalEtemon confronts Leomon while he is with the Joe and Mimi, and the rest of the digimon. Leomon is forced to digivolve into his mega and the fight. Joe senses that SaberLeomon will need help so he has Gommamon digivolve into Zudomon to help beat MetalEtemon. In the mansion Puppetmon tries to control MetalGarurumon to attack the team.But he refuses to be controlled and ultimately destroys Puppetmon. During the fight SaberLeomon is injured and become seriously ill on the brink of death. He tells a saddened Mimi that he will return to the Village of Beginnings. Zudomon uses his Vulcan's Hammer to crack open MetalEtemon's chest and beat him. Mimi and Joe vow to beat the Drak Masters and restore the village for a safe return of Leomon.

The desert heat proves to be to much on young Kari. She collapses on the desert ground and Tai becomes angry with himself that a few years ago her death was very near for his own carelessness of her. As her recalls, all he wanted to do was play soccer while his sister was home sick. And rather than staying home like he was supposed to he instead took her out and played soccer with friends and she ended up going to the hospital. Kabuterimon carries the team to a nearby city where Kari can rest while Tai and the others search for some medicine. Izzy, being the internet genius that he is tracks down the perfect medicine only to have Machinedramon trace the signal and track them down. Izzy once again uses his skills to throw Machinedramon and his forces off track and he and Tai manage to escape with the medicine. The two return to find that the sanctuary where Kari was being kept safe by Gatomon is being bombarded with missiles. The others narrowly escaped the blast only to run into another building for hiding which Machinedramon once again destroys.

As the building collapses the team Digi-Destined and the digimon fall into the sewers beneath Machinedramon's city. Sora, Biyomon, and Patamon manage to find T.K, Kari, and Gatomon. With Izzy, Tai, Tentomon, and Agumon nowhere to be found the six are helpless. As Sora and her group search for Tai, they run into WaruMonzaemon. He is the owner and the enslaved Numemon in the area. The Numemon plead for help from the Digi-Destined and somehow a strange bright light emerges from Kari. The light made the digimon stronger and with it they managed to overcome the evil WaruMonzaemon. The Numemon are now freed from his clutches. Sora thinks the light should be followed as it may lead them to Tai. Now that WaruMonzaemon had been de-throned Machinedramon destroys him. Tai and his group are on the lookout for the others and they end up finding Andromon. Unfortunately they run into Machinedramon and he destroys Andromon who had saved Tai and his group. Once Tai and his group find Sora Machinedramon appears once again the light that Kari is showing enables WarGreymon to destroy Machindramon.

LadyDevimon the beautiful, ruthless and powerful digimon stops the DigiDestined before they can go any further. Tai, thinking this would be an easy battle sends off Sora and T.K to find the rest of the team. This leaves now only Tai, Izzy, and Kari with their digimon to face off against LadyDevimon. Elsewhere, Mimi and Joe find Elecmon in the destroyed village of New Beginnings and managed to convince him to join their cause. Joe suddenly announces to Mimi that he and Gomamon will leave to find their own purpose leaving Mimi and Palmon alone. Angewoman faces off against LadyDevimon but once WarGreymon sees that she has trouble he quickly lends a helping hand to her. Once LadyDevimon is defeated the kids don't have any time to rest as now their greatest challenge ever has now appeared, Piedmon, the last of the Dark Masters.

Joe and Gomamon keep looking for Matt until they spot his boat. Elsewhere WarGreymon is fighting Piedmon and has no success. Tai and the rest of the group realize that they need the whole group if they think they can defeat Piedmon. Matt gets lost in a cave and decides that he isn't needed on the group but Gabumon helps him realize that his friends need him as much as he needs them. Together the two of them find the way out of the cave. Sora, later on finds Matt's boat but becomes sad once she doesn't find Matt himself. Now Biyomon and Sora are taken into the same cave that Matt was in by a black mist. With the help of Matt, Sora realizes that her depression is causing the cave to appear. Once she realized it was only the mist causing this the cave disappeared. Now that the whole group is back together they confront Piedmon one last time and with Gabumon having gained strength from Matt's friendship he warp digivovles into MetalGarurumon.

The team tries to destroy Piedmon but he turns all of them into keychains except for Kari and T.K. Angemon is almost helpless against Piedmon until he realizes that the hope that Matt has for him to defeat Piedmon is big. So Angemon digivolves into MagnaAngemon. With his great powers MagnaAngemon turns the keychains back to their normal selves. Piedmon counterattacks with an army of Vilemon but just in time Mimi arrives with an army of digimon who are able to defeat Piedmon. MagnaAngemon defeats Piedmon with the help of all the digimon. Just as the kids begin to relax they receive a message from Gennai that the real evil is elsewhere. Spiral Mountain begins to shake and the true evil appears.

Even though the Four Dark Masters are defeated the destruction of the Digital World continues and the team is forced to fight the main ruler of the destruction, who is Apocalymon. Apocalymon destroys the tags and crests before deleting the digimon along with the kids. Later on they realize that there was no need for the tags or the crests and what was needed they had in them all along. They return for Apocalymon to face him for the final time.
