Episode list

In the world we all know, there exists a secret organization called the Digimon Data Squad, or DATS for short. Humans and their tamed Digimon partners team up to capture Digimon who cross over into the real world from the Digital World (hopefully, before the population sees them and causes a panic). Secret Agent Yoshino Fujieda gets a call to chase down a rogue Raptor Digimon, but she finds him engaging a human in a fight. The human is a boy training to become an Ultimate Fighter, Marcus Damon. Amazingly, Marcus can hold his own with the supposedly much stronger Digimon. After they fight to a draw, the two combatants bond, and then flee together when Yoshi tries to arrest them. Marcus hides the raptor, named Agumon, and goes to get him food. But Yoshi finds Marcus, and takes him to DATS headquarters. Marcus doesn't believe that Agumon could be a danger, so he refuses to turn him over. But, suddenly, there is another Digimon attack in the city! Marcus rushes back to see if Agumon could really be leading the attack, as DATS suspects. Marcus finds Agumon blameless. The attack is the work of another Digimon invader, Kokatorimon. Marcus and Agumon battle the giant bird together. Marcus discovers that when he gets emotional in battle, he can awaken something in his fist known as the DNA. A mysterious stranger gives Marcus a digivice and tells him that with his DNA, he can help Agumon digivolve into a bigger, stronger form. He does, and Agumon becomes GeoGreymon, and he defeats Kokatorimon.

Yoshino brings Marcus and Agumon into DATS headquarters so Agumon can be sent back to the Digital World. Luckily, they manage to escape. Marcus takes Agumon home and tries to keep him hidden from his mom, Sara, and sister, Kristy. But Agumon is hard to keep a secret and they soon find out about him and make him feel right at home. Yoshino shows up to recapture Agumon and erase the family's memory, but Commander Sampson tells her there's a change of plans - Yoshino will now just keep an eye on Marcus and Agumon. Yoshino follows Marcus when he heads to school, toting Agumon along in his Digivice, but a disturbance at Kristy's school sidetracks them all. Someone has broken into the school's animal pens. Yoshino is sure that it was a Digimon. Marcus uses Agumon as bait to attract the rogue Digimon. Sure enough, Dokunemon returns to the schoolyard that very night! Yoshino and Lalamon battle the Digimon but lose. Unable to just standy by, Marcus and Agumon step in and take down Dokunemon themselves. The rogue Digimon is sent back to the Digital World in egg form. Marcus and Agumon decide to offer their services as DATS agents, in part so that Agumon won't have to be sent back to the Digital World, and also because Marcus sees their missions as another way for him to become the Ultimate Fighter. To Yoshino's surprise, Commander Sampson accepts their offer. Meanwhile, in another part of the world, Thomas H. Norstein and his Digimon, Gaomon are flying back home.

Demimeramon shows up in the human world, spreading fire and creating havoc. Marcus and Agumon try to fight him, but Agumon's fire attacks do nothing and Marcus' punches go right through him. Demimeramon easily escapes them. But Thomas Norstein and his Digimon, Gaomon show up and get the job done flawlessly. Thomas is not only of royal descent, but a genius who has been away on another DATS assignment. Marcus is quickly threatened by Thomas and the two square off. Thomas tells Sampson that he believes Marcus has no place in DATS. Marcus challenges Thomas to a fight in the boxing ring, and is initially defeated. But Marcus doesn't give up and fights to a draw. Suddenly, Demimeramon is back and has multiplied several times over. Thomas is dispatched to deal with the problem leaving Marcus to brood. But as Marcus walks off his anger, he begins to realize he may not be as great a fighter as he thought he was. He runs into the old man again, who teaches him a lesson about perseverance, and fighting fire with fire as an example. Just then more Demimeramon attack again, but Thomas is too far away to do battle. Marcus defies orders and confronts the threat himself. Since he can't land a punch against Demimeramon, he forces him to digivolve into Meramon. Then he hits him with his fist and activates his DNA! Agumon digivolves to Geogreymon and defeats Meramon. Back at DATS, Sampson has had enough of the Marcus and Thomas fighting. He makes the two work together as a team from now on.

As Digimon Start To Appear,In The Human World,It Is The Duty Of Digimon Data Squad (DATS)To Stop Them From Causing Violence.

Moments after Thomas defies Sampson's orders and transports himself and Gaomon to the Digital World, Marcus sneaks into DATS, too. With no one else at headquarters, Marcus threatens to break the Digital Dive machine unless Yoshi helps him go to the Digital World to finish his fight with Drimogemon. She grudgingly helps Marcus with his Digital Dive, but only so he and Agumon can bring back Thomas and Gaomon. In the Digital World, Marcus and Agumon soon come face to face with Drimogemon again. Drimogemon easily traps them underground, and they are reunited with an injured Thomas and Gaomon. They were also outmaneuvered by the drilling Digimon. Thomas reluctantly accepts Marcus' help to find their way out the underground den and defeat Drimogemon. The foursome find Drimogemon. Instead of waiting until they're at an advantage above ground, Marcus attacks! He forces Drimogemon to the surface, riding him like a bucking bronco. Then he steers him to an ice arena, where he can't dig to escape. Geogreymon and Gaogamon combine their attack spells and defeat Drimogemon, who had digivolved to Digmon. Back at DATS, Sampson scolds Marcus and Thomas, but is relieved they are safely home.

Marcus and Agumon fight and defeat Tortomon, but Yoshino takes them to task for rushing into battle on their own. Marcus and Agumon remain confident in their ability to defeat whatever foe they face, even if they face it alone. Their bond doesn't last long - they soon get into a silly argument and then refuse to work together anymore. Agumon sulks in his Digivice. Marcus gets into a street fight with an old, human rival and his cronies. When Elecmon appears, Marcus goes after it himself. Realizing Marucs is useless without Agumon, Thomas, Gaomon, Yoshino, and Lalamon move in to help. But Marcus stubbornly insists on fighting Elecmon alone, even when it digivolves into Garurumon. Marcus leaps on the Digimon's back, and it runs off. Marcus recklessly fights Garurumon, until he realizes that it's too big a task for one person. Luckily, Agumon shows up to help him, and together, they defeat Garurumon. The Ultimate Team is reunited!

Marcus has to take a make up exam at school on his little sister's birthday. So he asks Thomas to spend the day with Kristy in his place. Marcus and Kristy's mom, Sarah, thinks it is a good idea and Thomas agrees to do it. Being part of a family brings up sad memories for Thomas. Ever the perfectionist, he plans out the entire day with wall-to-wall activities for Kristy. But the plans all go awry when Kristy has her own ideas about what to do on her special day! As the day draws to an end, Thomas takes Kristy and Sarah to a local amusement park to watch the fireworks display. Suddenly, a Digimon named Citramon attacks the park! Thomas and Gaogamon quickly reduce the Digimon down to egg form before any real damage can occur. Thomas apologizes to Kristy for ruining her birthday. But he has it all wrong - Kristy had a great time! The celebration continues back at the house with Marcus and Agumon in attendance. Everyone enjoys Sarah's delicious dinner and Kristy's big birthday cake.

All of DATS is atwitter because it's been discovered that Yoshino is secretly dating the famous pop star, Neon. Commander Sampson reveals that Yoshino is actually on a secret assignment - she's investigating Neon because DATS suspects that he's harboring a Digimon. Thomas believes that the reason Neon is selling so many albums is that he is somehow artificially manipulating the music charts. Commander Sampson decides to send the DATS team in secretly to search Neon's house. Thomas convinces him that Yoshi has become too emotionally connected to Neon to be objective, so Sampson tells Yoshino that she's not to take part in the clandestine operation-which was exactly what Thomas had planned. He had planted a microphone on Yoshino and eavesdrops when she sneaks into Neon's apartment on her own. Neon admits that he secretly has a Digimon named Keramon but he won't give it up. With help from Marcus and Thomas, Keramon is defeated. In keeping with DATS policy, Yoshi has to erase Neon's memory. Despite the circumstances, Neon regrets he will no longer remember the good times he and Yoshino shared together. Yoshi does, too.

The great boxer, Hayase Harris is making a great comeback after an injury cut short his run to the championship. Harris was Thomas' childhood hero andhe still follows his career. Marcus feels his last few victories smell of Digimon involvement and despite Thomas' objections, Sampson agrees and opens an investigation. The suspects are Harris, his wife, his daughter Minnie, and his trainer, Rocky. Different DATS agents suspect different people of working with a Digimon, but Thomas figures out it was his daughter, Minnie, who was working with Togemon to make sure her father returned after every fight, safe and sound. After Gaogamon defeats the cactus Digimon, Harris pulls out of his championship fight to protect the integrity of the sport he loves.

Marcus, Kristy, and Agumon go to Thomas's opulent house for dinner. Kristy is already anxious about the degree of wealth and formality in the Norstein home, and to make things worse, Marcus and Agumon can't help but embarrass her. Because she feels her brother is deliberately making her look foolish in front of Thomas, she becomes very upset. She yells at Marcus, wishing all kinds of embarrassing things would happen to him, too, and runs, crying, out of the house. Surprisingly, every bad thing Kristy wished on her brother starts to come true. Agumon says that a Digimon is causing Marcus's troubles, but no one else can see the Digimon, so no one believes him. Last on the list of bad things is for Marcus to be crushed by an oil tanker. As unlikely as that seems, soon DATS gets word that an oil tanker has gone out of control and is careening toward the shore. Marcus rushes to take care of the tanker himself, hoping that in doing so, he'll keep other people from getting hurt. DATS identifies the invisible Digimon bothering Marcus as Soulmon. Marcus and Agumon they make the trickster visible using a chemical compound from Thomas, and defeat him. The oil tanker stops just before it hits the shore. Thomas tells Commander Sampson there may be a link between Digimon and humans - negative, human emotions may influence Digimon's actions, or Digimon may alter people's behavior. Sampson agrees with his suspicions.

To make amends for Agumon eating all the delicious manjuu Miki and Megumi brought back from Kyoto, Marcus agrees to replace the treats himself. He makes a trip to the 'Shitori Bakery', famous for making the best manjuu in Japan. The owner's son, Connor, is an old friend of Marcus. Marcus arrives at the bakery just in time to witness Connor's father, Shitori, getting threatened by a couple of loan sharks - who Marcus promptly sends on their way. Connor explains that when his mother became sick, his father was forced to shut down his bakery to care for her, and the family quickly sank into debt. Shitori is in a desperate situation. But out of thin air, a Digimon named Vilemon comes along with his DemiDevimon henchmen and arranges for the baker to win big at the horse track. Now under the Digimon's spell, Shitori's obsession with making ends meet is soon replaced by a hunger for more and more money. He starts buying new clothes and sports cars. Connor is stunned. Marcus still needs the manjuu - he cannot return to DATS without it! But Shitori has no intention of opening the shop. Even the fact that Connor has a life long dream to make the famous manjuu side by side with him cannot convince Shitori to stop going to track and return to the bakery. Vilemon's spell on Shitori remains strong - until GeoGreymon defeats him in battle!

At DATS headquarters, Thomas reveals to the others that he's determined that human emotions can affect Digimon. He's also discovered that the wall between the human world and Digital World has destabilized, and it probably not by natural causes. Someone may be weakening it on purpose. In the middle of Thomas' explanation, DATS picks up a new Digimon signal - and it's at Marcus's house! Marcus and the others rush in and discover that a Digi-egg has appeared at Marcus's house. It ends up hatching, revealing Puwamon, an in-training Digimon. Kristy finds the cute little guy hard to resist. She immediately takes him under her wing. That same evening, a Digimon named Falcomon shows up to take Puwamon back to the Digital World. Despite their surprise, Marcus and the others manage to drive Falcomon off. Meanwhile, in the Digital World, Mega-level Digimon Merukimon is infuriated when he learns that Falcomon ignored his warnings and went to the human world. He has no choice but to bring Falcomon home. Puwamon digivolves into Biyomon and pledges to remain by Kristy's side. When Marcus learns that DATS may force Kristy to enlist because she's bonded with Biyomon, he isn't happy about it, and neither is Marcus's mom. Marcus insists that Biyomon return to the Digital World so that Kristy won't be forced to join DATS. Biyomon refuses to go and battles Marcus so he can stay. But he is only a Rookie Digimon and cannot match Marcus' strength. Once again, Falcomon shows up and tries to get Biyomon to return to his native world. But he only manages to get himself into the fight with Marcus and the others. Suddenly, Merukimon arrives! Although Merukimon is very powerful, Marcus won't back down. They launch into battle!

A new Ultimate level Digimon, Merukimon, crosses from the Digital World to the real world in search of Biyomon. Biyomon has become attached to Kristy. Marcus, Tomas and the rest of DATS battle Merukimon but he is too strong and he takes Biyomon back to the digital world. However, the memories of Kristy remain fresh for Biyomon, who vowed to always protect her. Now as a Champion Level, Aquilamon, he returns to the real world to deal with these persistent memories. Aquilamon digivolves into Garudamon as he tries to defeat Marus and Agumon. But this new digimon cannot remember his relationship with Kristy and actually attacks her! Although Kristy is unharmed, she is heartbroken that the digimon has forgotten her. Marcus is distraught over his inability to stop Garudamon and protect his sister. Summoning new found strength - and transforming Geogreymon into Rizegreymon - Marcus defeats Garudamon and returns him to his original form, that of the egg of Biyomon. A tearful Kristy shares a tender moment with the digiegg of her friend. Back at headquarters, Captain Sampson tells Marcus there is something he needs to know... about his missing father!

The DATS agents prepare to go to the Digital World! But before they do, Commander Sampson reveals that Marcus's father Spencer led the original team to the Digital World but never returned. Marcus confronts his mother, who reveals that she knew all about what happened to Spencer and that she's worried the same will happen to Marcus. She makes him promise that he'll return from the Digital World. Marcus, Agumon, Yoshino, Lalamon, Thomas, and Gaomon are transported to the Digital World, as are their supplies. However, a human boy, Keenan, who's partnered with Falcomon, attacks and destroys their supplies. The melee alerts a tree-like Digimon, named Cherrymon, who demands that they stop fighting because the battle is destroying his forest. It turns out that Cherrymon is also trying to protect young Digimon from danger. Gotsumon, an underling of Merukimon, attacks, and Marcus and the others team up to stop him and save the young Digimon. Gotsumon retreats, as do Keenan and Falcomon. Cherrymon is shocked that humans would help a Digimon. Thankful for what they've done, he tells them that Merukimon can be found in a mountain far off in the distance. As the DATS agents prepare to set off on their journey, Gotsumon warns Merukimon that the humans are on their way.

Thomas,Yoshi and Marcus find themselves and their Digimon hiking toward the Infinite Ice Ridge where Merukimon is supposed to live. They come upon a deep gorge they cannot cross. Marcus and Agumon go down into the gorge to investigate and the rest of the gang follow. They are ambushed by Dokugumon, spider-like creatures that ensnare the humans and cage the Digimon. Enter MetalPhantomon, who puts the kids to sleep and plans to destroy them by entering their nightmares and stealing the essence of their hearts. Marcus dreams of his sister Kristy, being taken away by a rogue Digimon. Yoshi dreams of her sad, painful childhood. Thomas re-lives his mother's tragic death. In his nightmare, he tries to stop his mother from taking him (as a toddler) to a festival because he knows on the way there she will be hit by as truck. But he cannot stop the accident from happening again. MetalPhantomon closes in to feed off of Thomas' eternal nightmare. But Thomas willfully changes his memories of his mom to the happier ones. This allows him to break out MetalPhantomon's dream spell. He immediately goes after Metal Phantomon! Inspired by Thomas' strength, Gaomon digivolves into his Ultimate level, MachGaomon! MachGaomon frees Yoshi and Marcus and joins the fight against MetalPhantomon who is eventually vanquished. Agumon and Lalamon digivolve as well and take on the Dokugumon. After the battle, our gang continues their journey toward the Infinite Ice Ridge. Suddenly, Yoshi collapses!

Yoshi had passed out after their battle with MetalPhantomon in the Digital World. The Data Squad get her to a cave where she can recover from her dangerously high fever. But Keenan and Falcomon find them. Before they can fight, Yoshi touches Keenan and he passes out as well. Falcomon blames Yoshi for contaminating Keenan with a virus, which he had had before as a child. In the past, Frigimon had gone to Wanderer's Cape to fetch a vaccine for Keenan. Knowing this is the only way to cure Keenan again, Falcomon asks the humans to go with him to Wanderer's Cape in order to save both Keenan and Yoshi. Blossomon decides to intercept the DATS team. He is fed up with waiting for Mercurimon's master plan to rid the Digital World of humans. The Data Squad and Falcomon fight with Blossomon over the one remaining vile of vaccine, while Thomas tries to get past the password protections on a computer in the lab. The computer may have belonged to Marcus' father, and his missing party! But it is destroyed during the battle. Marcus fends off Blossomon's attack and tells Falcomon to take the vaccine back to Yoshi and Keenan. He and Agumon stay and defeat Blossomon, sending back to egg form. When Thomas and Marcus return to the cave, they find that Falcomon held up his part of the bargain and gave the vaccine to Yoshi as well as Keenan.

The Data Squad are in the Digital World, making their way to the Infinite Ice Ridge. Yoshi is tormented by dreams of her past when she was fraught with stage fright at a piano recital. To make things worse, her sisters were both musical prodigies. Remembering her humiliation makes her drive the team even harder toward their goal. Suddenly, Keenan and Falcomon attack! Gotsumon takes advantage of the situation and has Mammothmon cause an avalanche to take down the humans. Marcus, Agumon, and Gaomon are separated from Thomas, Yoshi, and Lalamon. Marcus and Agumon battle Keenan and Falcomon while Gaomon goes in search of the others. They learn that Keenan blames humans for his mother's demise. Finally, Keenan and Falcomon retreat. Yoshi worries that she isn't pulling her weight within the Data Squad and is being left behind because Lalamon can't digivolve to Ultimate Level like Gaomon and Agumon can. Her lack of confidence paralyzes her when Gotsumon and Mammothmon show up. Though Yoshi do battle, Lalamon goes in on her own. Thomas and Gaomon try to convince Yoshi that she's good enough and that she needs to help Lalamon, but it's only Lalamon's Lullaby-the song that summoned Lalamon to the Digital World to become Yoshi's partner-that gets Yoshi back into battle. Lalamon is finally able to digivolve to Ultimate Level, becoming Lilamon, who's able to defeat Mammothmon. Gotsumon is forced to retreat but vows to return!The DATS agents reach the Infinite Ice Ridge - and are surprised to run into Yushima, who is casually ice-fishing nearby!

The DATS crew is on the brink of the Infinite Ice Ridge, searching for Merukimon, when they run into Yushima. He knows who they're searching for and is willing to lead them to him. After some uncertainty, Marcus convinces everyone to follow Yushima. Along the way to battling Merukimon, they run into Keenan and Falcomon. Convinced he is digimon and that humans ended his mother's life, Keenan believes all humans are evil. He is bent on sending DATS back to the human world - or destroying them! Yushima sees Keenan and immediately realizes this is the Criers' long lost son. He is shocked that Merukimon has been raising him as a digimon; Merukimon treasures him like a son. Merukimon cannot forgive the humans for breaking their peace treaty. He does not trust them, not after the massacre which deleted so much digimon data. In the end, DATS battles with the very powerful Merukimon. Yushima reveals his digimon, Kamemon who transforms into Gawappamon. Together, they open a rift between the digital and human world and the DATS crew, along with Falcomon and Keenan are drawn back to earth. Refusing Marcus' please to come with them, Yushima stays behind. He wants Keenan to finally be reunited with his mother and father back in the human world..

The DATS agents escaped Merukimon and returned to the human world with Keenan and Falcomon in tow. Marcus and Keenan both desperately want to get back to the digital world - although for very different reasons. Marcus thinks Yushima needs their help, since he was left behind in the middle of a battle with the powerful Merukimon. Keenan just wants to get back home and he's willing to fight his way of DATS if he needs to. Although Commander Sampson forbids anyone from returning to the digital world, Marcus and Keenan still try to open a Digi-gate. Marcus only succeeds in breaking the computers. Commander Sampson finally tells everyone the story of the first time humans went into the digital world. He, Spencer Damon, Kurata, Yushima, and others first went to the Digital World a decade ago after learning that disappearances in the Human World were caused by the Digital World. Keenan's parents, the Criers', were among those who took part in that early expedition because their son had been accidentally transported to the digital world. That infant was Keenan! Marcus, Agumon, Yoshi and Lalamon take Keenan and Falcomon out to the Criers' country house for a reunion with their son. Thomas stays behind at headquarters to repair the Digi-gate computers that Marcus wrecked. Having found a way to the Human World, Gotsumon attacks with three Ookuwamon. He reveals that he wants to take down Keenan, whom he blames for the problems in the Digital World. Marcus and the others are able to drive off Gotsumon, who retreats but vows that their fight isn't over.

Marcus, Yoshi, Agumon and Lalamon drive Keenan and Falcomon out to the Criers' home - Keenan's home! Unfortunately, Keenan has no recollection of it, after all, he was merely a baby when he was transported through the Digital Gate in to the Digital World. Mr. and Mrs. Crier have blamed themselves for his disappearance for the last ten years. He has a hard time believing that he is human at all and runs away from the gang. As they track him down, Marcus and Agumon run right into Keenan's father. Shockingly, Kevin Crier begs them not to bring Keenan home. His wife has finally recovered from her deep depression over losing Keenan and they have a new daughter. He doesn't want their happy life disrupted. When Kevin Crier goes home to his wife Michelle, a new Digi-gate suddenly opens and one of Keenan's toys comes to life as a terrifying and menacing digimon named Hagururmon. He promptly swallows up the Criers' house - and Michelle! Keenan continues to deny his human roots, but when his human mother's life is threatened by Hagurumon, he steps up and helps save her life. But, he cannot stop thinking about nor caring about Frigimon. His love for her keeps him believing he must be Digimon. Once Keenan has helped save his mother, Director Hashima and his goons show up to arrest Kevin Crier for conducting the unauthorizedopening the Digi-gate. When he proclaims his innocence, they try to arrest Michelle instead. Keenan shocks everyone by suddenly stepping in and saying he opened the Digi-gate so he could come through it and destroy the human world! Hashima tries to arrest him. But Keenan flees and the rest of the DATS crew rescue him from Hashima's men. Now they are all on the run! Meanwhile back in the digital world, Gotsumon reports to Merukimon that Keenan has turned traitor to all Digimon by joining the humans.

SaberLeomon is enraged that Merukimon has not taken proactive action to deal with the human problem. He immediately dispatches a Digimon armada consisting of thousands of Pteramon and Boarmon, and led by the ever-enthusiastic Gotsumon, to the human world to destroy it. The DATS team step in to contain the threat but are quickly overwhelmed in numbers by the enemy. There's just too many digimon! Even Miki and Megumi join the battle with their own digimon, Knightchessmon and Pawnchessmon. However, both sides are unaware that an unseen third party, lurking in the shadows, has had them all set up in a trap. Kurata opens a Digi-gate which and all the invading Digimon are sucked back into the digital world - not a second too soon!

Marcus and the others at DATS discuss the mysterious Digi-gate that opened and sucked in all the invading Digimon from the digital world, saving the human world from mass destruction. Who was powerful to do that? They learn it was Marcus' father's former assistant, Kurata, who opened it. Kurata wants to study Keenan and Falcomon, but Marcus and the others remain suspicious. Keenan tries to break free, but Marcus convinces him that he has nowhere he can go-until Marcus offers to let Keenan move in with him. At home, Marcus introduces Keenan and Falcomon to Kristy and Sarah. Soon they are all having dinner and playing board games. Keenan is very conflicted between his feelings about these humans and his feelings about the digital world. Meanwhile, SaberLeomon cuts Gotsumon loose, saying that he doesn't need the help of weaklings like him. SaberLeomon goes to the Human World, and Marcus, Agumon, Thomas, Gaomon, Yoshi, and Lalamon confront him. Even in their Ultimate forms, though, the DATS Digimon are no match for him. Then, a mysterious Digimon shows up and hits SaberLeomon with a beam that saps his strength. With SaberLeomon weakened, Marcus and Agumon are able to defeat him. Strangely, Kurata shows up at the scene of the fight. He talks about how they should try to change Digimon's perception that humans are their enemies. Later, Marcus, Agumon, Keenan, and Falcomon return home for the meal that Sarah promised them.

Professor Karuta convinces Director Hashima to send him to the Digital world to negotiate a peace treaty with Merukimon. He convinces DATS that they should join the mission as a back up. After they make the dive, they find themselves face to face with Gotsumon. He believes they returned to the Digital World to destroy Merukimon in a surprise attack. He unleashes Zudomon on the DATS team. When the team manages to defeat Zudoman, Gotsumon transform to Meteormon to take them on himself. Back in the human world, Keenan struggles with his identity. Should he be on the side of the humans or the Digimon? Realizing he wants all the fighting to stop, he heads to the Digital World - and arrives just in the nick of time!

Keenan tries to stop a battle between Merukimon and Marcus by convincing them that Digimon and humans can be friends. Kurata, who shows up just then with soldiers, strongly disagrees. He thinks that all Digimon should be wiped out. As this tense scene plays out in the present, Keenan's sad life story is revealed. In the past, Merukimon tried to take infant Keenan away from his adopted, Digimon mother, Frigimon, but she refused to give him up. Over the years, Keenan grew up happy under Frigimon's care and with Falcomon as his best friend. When Kurata, Spencer, Sampson, Yushima, and the others first came to the Digital World, they were attacked by Digimon. Really, though, the attacks were essentially Kurata's fault because he provoked the Digimon. Kurata opened a Digi-gate so he and the others could escape, but Spencer stayed behind to fight SaberLeomon. He was willing to risk his own return in otder to make sure his teammates could go back home. Spencer wound up in a battle with Merukimon. He finally convinced Merukimon that his team wasn't invading the Digital World but instead had come to study it and find a lost human child, Keenan. The mention of the boy made Merukimon realize Spencer was telling the truth. He broke off the battle and gave Spencer information on how to find Keenan. After his initial disastrous trip to the Digital World, Kurata returned to seek revenge against the Digimon. Armed with plenty soldiers and brutal weapons, Kurata's troops viciously attacked the Digimon - and deleted their data forever! Frigimon was among those who were destroyed. Keenan took the loss of the Digimon he considered to be his mother very hard. He became a warrior and vowed to defend Digimon against the hated humons. In the present, Kurata unveils his latest invention, Gizmon-AT. It's intended to finish the job he started years earlier. He wants to wipe out all Digimon! Marcus vows to stop him.

Kurata's true ambition is the total annihilation of the Digimon race, and he intends to do it with the aid of his artificially made puppet Digimon, Gizumon AT. DATS and their Digimon partners fight back, but to no avail. But Marcus refuses to give up. Fed up with Marcus's stubbornness, Kurata digivolves Gizumon AT into its Ultimate level, Gizumon XT, to finish off the DATS team forever. As a dying act of courage, Merukimon sacrifices himself to teach Keenan that he needs to make peace between the two worlds, and he should live like a human, with the heart of a digimon. Taking Merukimon's words and the happy memories spent with his Digimon and human friends to heart, Keenan's DNA Charge explodes. This allows Falcomon to warp digivolve to his Ultimate level, Crowmon. He defeats Gizumon XT, but Kurata escapes yet again.

After the grueling battle with Kurata in the Digital World, the DATS team returns to the real world headquarters to find that Sampson and the others are missing. Suddenly Director Hashima and his troops surround them and dismiss them from DATS - based on the lies that Kurata told him! After they are fired, Marcus, Thomas, and Yoshi are all zapped with the memory eraser. Agumon, Lalamon and Gaomon are held captive in a jail cell at DATS. Keenan is also kept imprisoned. Marcus, Thomas, and Yoshi return to their normal lives. Though their memories of DATS and their old Digimon partners have been deleted, they all experience strange feelings of disorientation. But none of them can figure out what has happened. The captured Digimon decide they must escape and rescue their former human companions. They set out on a mission to find and remind! They must persuade them that they used to be a team. Marcus and the others don't believe this at first, but later regain their memories. It takes Agumon fighting Marcus at the same place where they met to finally snap him back to normal. Meanwhile, Keenan and the others escape from the cells and try to destroy Kurata, but they aren't strong enough. They group together again to defeat another Gizumon that Kurata had sent to attack Marcus. Afterwards, they head back to DATS headquarters to take back their old jobs - but the building blows up just as they arrive!

With DATS Headquarters destroyed and Kurata on his way to the Digital World, the former Data Squad seek out Professor Crier. The Criers are being held under house arrest at a local hotel, but our heroes soon break them out and reunite them with Keenan, their son. They need Professor Crier to reactivate the digital gate in his basement so they travel through it and head off Kurata before he has time to see through his evil scheme to destroy all Digimon. The digital gate works! But once in the tunnel, former members of DATS soon find themselves facing off against Kurata's new henchmen! Kouki, Ivan, and Naomi are all Bio Hybrids who Kurata has engineered to be able to Digivolve into half human, half digimon creatures. The incredible powers of the Bio Digimon forms prove too much for the Data Squad to handle. Fortunately, Satsuma and Kudamon appear to help out! The squad lands safely in the Digital World, but the gate closes before Sampson could get out.

The gang heads towards Cherrymon's forest to seek out his advice. On the way, they run into a group of Gizmon XT destroying village. A wandering BanchoLeomon shows up and takes out the Gizmon XT. He offers the advice to search withion themselves for power before going on his way. They get to Cherrymon only to find hundreds of injured Digimon. Suddenly, the Bio-Hybrids - Kouki, Ivan, and Naomi - show up and tell everyone that Sampson is a goner. As they did the first time they met, the Bio-Hybrids quickly get the better of the Data Squad. Then they start tearing up Cherrymon! But Marcus, Yoshi, and Thomas dig deep inside and produce the most powerful DNA charge yet. The good guys beat the bad guys this time. The defeated Bio-Hybrids escape back to Kurata through a Digital Gate.

The Digimon gang goes back to Wanderer's Cape to seek out Marcus' father so he can fix their digivices. Instead of finding the upside-down mansion that used to be there, they are surprised to now find BanchoLeomon and his DNA Charge Dojo. BanchoLeomon separates the humans from their Digimon. He tells Marcus, Thomas & Yoshi that they must train in order to be able to understand their DNA charge. Until they have that understanding, they will be unable to fix their digivices. Neither Marcus nor Thomas can see the point of fighting BanchoLeomon's resilient wooden soldiers, but soon realize they are trapped in the Dojo and he won't let them leave until their training is completed. Yoshi just sits down and waits for the boys to either win or give up. Agumon, Lalamon and Gaomon are outside playing silly games to pass the time. But suddenly the three super-powerful Bio-Hybrids appear! When the Digimon refuse to reveal the location of their human partners, the Bio-hybrids beat them mercilessly. But the Digimon loyalty is too strong to be broken. Suddenly, the fight outside is revealed to Marcus, Yoshi and Thomas. Trapped inside the Dojo, they can only watch as their friends take abuse from the Bio-hybrids. Marcus gets so emotional that he makes a break-through and is able to fix his digivice with his newfound DNA Charge! This is exactly what BanchoLeomon wanted. Now all three of them can harness their will to activate their newly digivolved digivices. The bruised Digimon aer able to digivolve to mega-level! The gang defeats the Bio-Hybrids and thanks BanchoLeomon for his help. He suggests they head for the Sacred City - where their new skills will be needed!

What's left of the Data Squad arrive at the Sacred City, but once inside, they realize they were tricked. Baronmon's promises of a party to welcome them was a lie. They're quickly captured and placed in an arena for punishment! There, they meet once again with an old DATS acquaintance who they thought missing, Yushima. But the sight of Cerberusmon puts damper on their reunion.With the help of Kamemon, Marcus gets free. The moment that he displays his DNA Charge, Baronmon realizes Marcus must be the son of Spencer Damon. Spencer is remembered for saving Eldradimon and revered among the Digimon of the Sacred City. Yoshi and Thomas are set free and a lavish banquet is served to truly celebrate their arrival. Unfortunately, celebrations are short-lived. Suddenly, a squad of Gizumon come to raid the City. Catastrophe is prevented thanks to the timely arrival of Keenan and Falcomon - who have also brought along with them allies in the form of many Ninjamon. Nearby, Kurata has upgraded his three Bio-Hybrids so they are even stronger than before. Kouki relishes the thought of finally being able to defeat Marcus once and for all! But Kurata has set yet another of his plans into motion. The Gizumons are collecting the energy from the Digimon they delete and Kurata is harnessing it for...

The DATS crew and the Digimon inhabitants of the Sacred City are preparing for the impending battle with Kurata's forces. When news arrives that Kurata's camp has been discovered, Marcus naturally wants to head out and attack immediately. Thomas strongly disagrees with this plan, since it seems like Kurata is setting a trap for them. But all the Digimon eagerly support Marcus; he is the hero's son, after all. Thomas is confused and disheartened. The forces split with Marcus and Keenan going to engage Kurata while Yoshi and Thomas stay to protect the city. But Thomas realizes the real pivotal location will be the waterfall. If Kurata is able to somehow disrupt the flow, then Eldradimon will be left defenseless on a dessert floor. Nanami, one of the BioHybrids, has also headed to the waterfall. She tries to convince Thomas to join her. With their searing intellects, they could rule the world! She knows how lonely it is to be a genius among inferiors. Why does he waste his time defending Digimon? Thomas is unmoved by Nanami's reasoning. Her efforts at seduction fall flat and then the battle is on! She digivolvesinto BiolRotomon. At first it seems her BioHybrid strength will surely defeat MirageGaogamon, but Thomas refuses to lose! He and MirageGaogamon beats Nanami - but she still manages to destroy the waterfall and the safe moat around Eldradimon soon dries up.

After being foiled in her attempts to convince Thomas to join her in a quest for world domination, Naomi still managed to drain all the water in the lake surrounding Eldradimon. With the Sacred City 's defenses down, Ivan directs a frontal assault. The swarm of Gizumon XTs attack at will! Ivan is soon distracted by his love for Yoshi. He fights Rosemon to win a date with Yoshi, but in the end loses. Yoshi realizes that Ivan had joined Kurata only as a means to support his younger brothers and sisters. She is filled with more hatred for Kurata! Marcus and Kouki square off for a rematch. But the new and improved version of Kouki is much too strong for Marcus. He is eventually rescued by Crowmon and Keenan. Kurata opens a digital gate and sends Eldradimon back to the Human World! Marcus, Agumon, and Keenan hang on to dear life as Crowmon flies them toward Eldradimon - racing against time to make it back to Eldradimon before the Digital Gate closes.

After incapacitating ElDradimon, Kurata opened up a massive digital gate that sucked the titanic Digimon along with all the Sacred City into the human world. Kouki challenges both Marcus and Agumon for a final showdown to determine the stronger fighter between both. Kouki digivoles to Biodarkdramon and his new Dark Roar Attack proves hard for Marcus to counter. To make matters worse, ShineGreymon cannot use his usual Glorious Burst attack because he fears it will harm not just Biodarkdramon but the people still in the nearby city buildings. The growing urgency of the situation suddenly provide Marcus with a new burst of power and a new weapon materializes for ShineGreymon - the new Geo Grey Sword! With this new power, ShineGreymon easily defeats Biodarkdramon! Meanwhile, the others and the Sacred City citizens are busy fending off the intruding Gizumon, new cannons, and a new weapon called the Gizumon Javelin. Kurata drops the Javelin, cruelly destroying ElDradimon. The gang tries to rescue any survivors from the Sacred City. But Marcus turns to see Thomas flying away in a helicopter - heading away from the action!

With the authorities convinced that they are responsible for unleashing destructive Digimon on Earth, Marcus, Agumon, Yoshi, Lalamon, Miki, Megumi, Keenan, and Falcomon hide out in an old, secret DATS base. But the absence of Thomas and Gaomon is not far from everyone's mind. Thomas and Gaomon have been flowen to the Nordstein family estate, where Thomas is reunited with his sister Relena and his estranged father Norstein. Thomas loves his frail sister very much. She has been sickly since birth and uses a wheelchair to get around the expansive grounds. Relena tells Thomas that their father thinks that she can be cured. It isn't long before Thomas and his father bicker. But while that is to be expected, Thomas is shocked to learn that his father has put Kurata in charge of Relena's health! Not only that, Kurata tries to convince Thomas to turn against Marcus and join with him to create a new, more peaceful world in exchange for curing Relena. Hasn't Marcus been the thorn in Thomas' side for long enough? Kurata presents a persuasive picture of Marcus as the obstacle between war and peace. Thomas struggles with his decision but ultimately decides...to aid Kurata!BanchoLeomon visits Marcus and the others with a warning. He says that though they can tap into great power via their new digivices, that the Burst Mode is so dangerous that they should never use it. If they do, they could destroy themselves!Marcus and the others learn that Piximon is in the area, and they go out to find the Digimon. Before they can reach it, Kurata's Gizmon attack and heartlessly destroy little Piximon. Suddenly, Thomas arrives. Marcus is more relieved than irritated. They have Gizumon to fight! Thomas appears subdued and Gaomon quickly digivolves to MirageGaogamon. But then he attacks ShineGreymon! Thomas starts fighting Marcus, admitting that he has switched sides to support Kurata. Unable to control his anger, Marcus begins to tap into a vast source of power. He glows with energy! C

Realizing Thomas has turned against DATS and pledged allegiance to their arch-enemy Kurata, Marcus is filled with uncontrollable rage. This causes him to unintentionally bring about the Burst Mode. However, because Marcus can't refrain his negative emotions, the Burst Mode is corrupted, making ShineGreymon run amok. Fortunately, Kristy arrives to calm Marcus down, and he sees the error of his ways. But it is too late to stop ShineGreymon's rampage. Feeling hopeless, Marcus sheds tears streaming onto his digivice causing ShineGreymon to revert back to self-destruct and return to his digi-egg form. Meanwhile, Kurata reveals his real plan to Thomas, his new partner. In a previous trip to the Digital World, Kurata had found an ancient Digimon named Belphemon. Belphemon's strength was so fearsome that the other Digimon had imprisoned his digi-egg in a large tomb. Kurata brought him back and kept him in a state of suspended animation, waiting to use him as the ultimate weapon to take over both the Digital World, and the Human World. Keenan overhears Kurata's plan, and runs off with Crowmon to tell the others, but Thomas and MirageGaogamon go after them. Thomas tells Kurata he is willing to stop Keenan personally in order to further win Kurata's trust. True to his word, Thomas and Miragegaogomon track down Keenan and Crowmon. Keenan begs helplessly for Marcus' help! But without Agumon, Marcus is unable to do anything but watch as Miragegaogomon blasts his two friends into the harbor.

Thomas builds Kurata a device to control Belphemon. Kurata can't wait to take the ancient digimon on a test-drive. He awakens Belphemon and puts him to work immediately, destroying the city. Keenan and Falcomon tell the other Data Squad members that Kurata plans to take over both the digital and human worlds. They all rush out to try to defeat him. Despite their best efforts, none of the other digimon can match up to the terrifying power of Belphemon. He is just too strong.Realizing Belphemon cannot be beaten back, Kurata demands the world nations turn over all power to him. Hashima is shocked! He launches a counter-attack. But it is useless. No military force on the planet can defeat Kurata's monster. Meanwhile, Yushima is caught trying to kidnap Relena to prevent her from being fused with digimon DNA. With no one else left to interfere, she is prepared for the surgery. She still wears a necklace that Kurata put around her neck to ensure Thomas' cooperation. Thomas is in the operating room, overseeing the procedure. But the second he is able to remove the device, he stops the operation! He further double-crosses Kurata by remotely blowing up the controlling device for Belphemon. Kurata is furious! How dare Thomas betray him? But being the evil genius that he is, Kurata has a back-up plan. He fuses himself with Belphemon, and then transforms him into Rage Mode. This Mega-level mode is even more devastating! Marcus has been relegated to baby-sitter since Agumon turned into a digi-egg. But with the action heating up, he knows he can't just stand by while his friends face Kurata alone. He puts the egg into a sling and heads on out to help in any way he can!

Inspired by his anger toward Kurata, Keenan's DNA Charge allows Falcomon to digivole to his Mega level and become Ravemon. He suddenly has several different attacks to chose from. Using his Spiral Raven Claw, Bird King Sword and Blast Wing attacks, he is able to surprise Kurata. But it takes his Celestial Blade to finally do some damage. Kurata becomes so incensed at being attacked that the Deadly Digimon Belphemon comes to the surface, and pushes Kurata's personality aside. Keenan and Ravemon absorb the force of one of Belphemon's attacks in order to shield Marcus and the digi-egg he is protecting. Marcus is deeply touched by his little friend's bravery. The rest of the Data Squad members keep up the struggle against Belphemon, but to no use. Marcus speaks passionately to the digi-egg about their need to join the fight and suddenly... the egg hatches and out pops Koromon! Marcus doesn't recognize the baby Digimon and wipes away his tears as he realizes this new incarnation will probably not remember him at all. But Koromon does remember Marcus and promptly digivolves into Agumon! The Ultiamte Team is back. Together the two do not hesitate to go where they are needed. They rush toward Belphemon.

To everyone's surprise, Kurata is still alive inside Belphemon! In order to gain even more power, Kurata has Belphemon absorb electricity from the city itself. Then Belphemon swallows a space oscillation device to open a space rift. Thomas alerts everyone that this new rift means Kurata intends to blow up both human and digital worlds. Everything seems hopeless for the Data Squad. But Marcus gives an impassioned speech that rekindles the team's fighting spirit. Marcus asks Shinegreymon to give him as much energy as he's got, but MIrageGaogamon replies that his energy has always come from Marcus - not the other way around. Marcus suddenly realizes that, in fact, their power has always come not from either of them individually but from the strength of their friendship. A light suddenly grows from Marcus' digivice Thomas tells Marcus to use that power! ShineGreymon digivoles to his Burst Mode! This time, Shinegremon and Marcus are both in full control of their emotions and their powers. Using the Burst Mode, Shinegreymon can move even beyond the limitations of his Mega Level. Even Belphemon cannot defeat so much strength. He is finally defeated. As Belphemon returns to his egg form, Kurata is set free. He explodes one last space oscillation device, and the entire sky becomes tears away revealing the Digital World. But this time, the results are far worse than Kurata anticipated. He immediately realizes the horrible damage he has done - and screams for help!

In order to convince Craniamon that Human beings are not worth saving, King Drasil tells him about the history between the Human World and the Digital World. He shows him how Humans are responsible for all the tragic events that have occurred. They are the ones who interfered with the Digital World and broke down the barriers between them. King Drasil's story is sad and disturbing. Craniamon is soon agreeing with him. Marcus and the other Data Squad team members are still battling Kurata and Belphemon. They continue to try their hardest to protect the citizens of the Human World from a collision with the Digital World. But things are looking bleak. King Drasil knows the two Worlds are going to collide. He decides that he must wipe out the Human World to avoid the collision of the two Worlds and save the Digital World from extinction. When hope is all but lost, BanchoLeomon uses his essential DNA Charge to hold up the Digital World. He tells Marcus to find King Drasil and convince him to stop his attack before BanchoLeomon's life force fades out. BanchoLeomon turns himself to stone! Marcus and the rest of the Data Squad throw caution to the wind. They prepare to return to the Digital World and show King Drasil the error of his ways - all they have to do is find him first!

Marcus and the rest of the Data Squad make their way back to the Digital World. They need to find King Drasil and convince him to stop the digital world and the human world from colliding. A furious wind tosses them on the digital shoreline. To their surprise, they find Gotsumon there, reborn and without his old memories! Gotsumon agrees to lead them to King Drasil. When they get to the Server Tree where King Drasil dwells, they are immediately attacked by Craniamon. Craniamon is a Royal Knight and his strength is enormous. His moves are so fast they aren't even visible to the naked eye. He tells the Data Squad he is sworn to protect King Drasil and will delete anyone who dares to approach his King. Of course, this does nothing to deter Marcus! No matter how hard Craniamon strikes him, Marcus just gets back up and tries again. He is determined to meet the King and save both worlds from destruction. Just as ShineGreymon begins to gain the upper hand against Craniamon, Gallantmon and the other Royal Knights suddenly descend from the sky and join the battle. Even in Burst Mode, ShineGreymon is no match for all of them at once. King Drasil reveals himself! Marcus, still in fighting mode, throws a punch at the King, only to discover his true identity. King Drasil is his own father, Dr. Spencer Damon. But he is still bent on destroying the human world! The rest of the Data Squad look on in horror. Is this really the end of all of them? Suddenly another Digimon swoops in from above. It's Kentaurosmon, another Royal Knight. But instead of joining against the Data Squad, he gathers them all up and flies away toward safety!

Thanks to Kentaurosmon's nick-of-time intervention, the DATS team arrive back in the human world. But saving the team came at a high price and Kentaurosmon has suffered serious injuries. The injuries cause him to digivolve back to his usual form. The team is shocked to discover that he is none other than Captain Sampson's Kudamon. Marcus spends time with his mom and sister, trying to make sense of what has happened to his father. How has father become King Drasil and why doesn't he recognize Marcus anymore? Reassured by his family, he realizes he is still his father's son and that he cannot turn his back on him. Gallantmon soon arrives and launches his own attack on the human world. His strength makes short work of MirageGaogamon, Rosemon, Ravemon, RookChessmon, and BishopChessmon. Even armed with the Geo Grey Sword, ShineGreymon proves no match for the Royal Knight either. Even badly injured, Kentaurosmon rises to the challenge to protect his friends and the human world. He courageously takes on Gallantmon, and freezes them both in battle. Marcus decides go back to the Digital World alone to face his dad. The rest of the DATS team want to go with him, but understand this is one journey Marcus must take on his own.

Franz Norstein, Thomas' father, ignores the ban on air travel and stubbornly insists on flying back to Austria with the ever sickly, Relena and her doctors in tow on his private jet.

His mother was never welcomed into the family by the matriarch of the Nordstein family, Franz' mother. She made no attempt to hide her scorn for her and young Thomas, telling Thomas he would never really be part of the family. Franz never said a word in defense of his son or his son's mother. But with Relena so sickly, it became clear that she would never be able to carry on the family name. So Thomas was a second option. Their dismissive treatment at the hands of their grandmother, bonded the two siblings. Under attack by Loadknightmon, Thomas' dedication to his sister causes his father to regret his actions - and lack of action - in the past. MirageGaogomon digivolves to Burst Mode and spares the Norstein family from further distress. Thomas leaves only after making sure his sister is fine. Franz and Thomas are able to start to repair their relationship.

Biyomon falls from the sky into the Damon backyard with numerous Baby and In-Training Digimon in tow. Kristy is thrilled to be reunited with Biyomon. But she immediately discovers that this new incarnation of Biyomon does not remember her at all. Yoshi decides she will be in charge of the baby digimon and takes them all back to her house.

He can be part of the team again now that his own family is safe. With most of the Data Squad is together, they decide to go back to the Digital World to help out Marcus.

Marcus and Agumon return to the Digital World to have a serious discussion with King Drasil, aka Maru's father. On their way to the Server Tree where the digimon king resides, Marcus and Agumon are intercepted by Craniamon. The mega-level Royal Knight challenges Marcus to one last match, unleashing his new weapon, the Omni-Shield. He is certain of victory. Marcus tries to explain that he will never stop trying to reach King Drasil to save the human world. He will never loses hope! But after a series of desperate attempts, ShineGreymon cannot break through the shields' defenses. He and Marcus are overpowered by the unrelenting strength of Craniamon. Just as Craniamon is about to deal the final blow, the other DATS members and their digimon intervene! They have come to save their friends and join in the fight. In the end, Craniamon admits he has been bested, and allows them to enter the tree. He realizes that human hope and potential is a powerful thing.

The DATS team climb up King Drasil's Server Tree, hoping to confront the king himself. But the tree has automatic defenses which include lethal crystals that repel and then copy the DATS' digimon attacks! Leaving the others behind, Marcus, Agumon, and Gotsumon confront King Drasil, aka Marcus' father. Meanwhile, a changed Craniamon heads to the real world. He is immediately met by Biyomon who vows to defend the human world. But Craniamon easily gets past him. Inspired by his love for Kristy, Biyomon digivolves into Garudamon! What they don't understand yet is that Craniamon has traveled to the human world to help. He wants to save Bancholeomon and take over the burden of holding the digital world himself. Marcus finally is face to face with his father, King Drasil. But a force field prevents him from getting very close. All his attacks are repelled with ease. Marcus decides he cannot win. He will give up. But just as he is falling to an awful fate, Marcus hears his father's voice in his head, encouraging him to use the strength of the DNA charge. Marcus regroups and manages to reach Drasil. But his dad becomes furious! He tells Marcus he must be permenantly deleted for his actions. Suddenly, BanchoLeomon arrives and blasts away at King Drasil. He then reveals a cryptic message to Marcus. King Drasil is his father, and yet he isn't. Marcus' real father... is BanchoLeomon!

Craniamon had freed BanchoLeomon and taken his place to hold the Digital World from falling onto the human world. BanchoLeomon suddenly appears back in the digital world. He stops Marcus from getting closer to King Drasil and reveals a stunning truth. He has the life-force of Spencer Damon inside his body! Only Spencer's body was taken over by King Drasil. Spencer Damon-BanchoLeomon tells the DATS team how they met while searching for King Drasil. Finally, Spencer Damon-BanchoLeomon holds King Drasil in place and asks Marcus to sacrifice him along with King Drasil to save the human world. Marcus cannot believe what he is being asked to do. But he does it, believing it is the only way to defeat King Drasil. However, the true form of King Drasil is not so easily destroyed. He returns to seek revenge!

After BanchoLeomon and Spencer's destruction, King Drasil changes its shape to a robotic form and heads to the human world to eliminate it. The DATS team follows and engages it in a furious clash, but King Drasil easily overpowers them all - even when they are at their Burst Mode stages! Fueled by their strong bond to protect their loved ones, both human and digimon, the Data Squad raise their DNA Charge into the sky with a cry that is answered by the rest of the digimon on earth as well as the Royal Knights. The Royal Knights can no longer ignore the fact that they do not agree with King Drasil's decision to destroy the human world. The courage and compassion of the Data Squad have changed their minds. They finally rebel against their king. In a shocking twist, King Drasil discloses that it is 2-9000WZ, a personal computer built to observe the evolution of Digimon. This computer designs and controls all life forms in the Digital World at its will. Due to an Error Code, 2-9000WZ understands that its experiments on Digimon and human interaction have failed. The software will be reinstalled and after rebooting the system, the program will restart - in a new virtual universe. 2-9000WZ is going to wipe out both the human and digital worlds!

Everyone in the world watches fearfully as the human world and the digital world come closer and closer to colliding. The DATS team appear exhausted and unable to prevent tragedy from happening. King Drasil, in its computer form known as 2-9000WZ, cannot understand why the Data Squad continues to fight when chances of victory are virtually zero percent. Adults, children, and digimon planetwide invoke the light of their DNA charges to answer DATS' plea for help. When the hearts of all humans and digimon becoming one, Marcus & Agumon activate Burst Mode and are able to deal the decisive punch to destroy 2-9000WZ. 2-9000WZ concedes defeat, acknowledging that humans and digimon hold potential for growth as long as both stand together. The collision between both worlds stops, and all DATS are reunited with their loved ones in celebration. Sarah, Marcus and Kristy are stunned when Spencer finally returns to them, a gift from King Drasil. Despite their victory, the Digimon ask that they return to help rebuild the Digital World, before the Digital Gate is closed for an undetermined length of time. The news makes Marcus angry because he doesn't want Agumon to leave. Each of the DATS digimon spend their last day on Earth together with their human partners. At the last possible moment, Marcus arrives in a rush telling Agumon he's coming with him to the Digital World! With Merucimon gone, there's no one there to keep the digimon in order. So Marcus and Agumon will be the new peacekeepers. Spencer whole-heartedly supports Marcus' decision. Five years pass. Back in the human world, Kristy and Keenan attend middle school together. Thomas receives the Nobel Prize for curing Relena's illness. Yoshi, Megumi and Miki all work for Sashima in law enforcement. Yushima still enjoys fishing. In the Digital world, Marcus and Agumon have became the justices of peace and find it's still often... fightin' time!
