Fan:Appmon (Digiversum film)

The Digimon Spin-Off: Appmon (simply known Appmon) as is a fanon live-action film idea created by CAJH. It is the seventeenth installment of the fanfictional media franchise idea known as the Digiversum. The story borrows many elements from real-life anime Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters. The film was announced in January 15, 2017 and its synopsis was released in August 26, 2017.

A new area has been born into the Digiversum, but this area is not inhabited by Digimon, but by its subspecies Appmon who share a connection with mobile applications. However, the mobile devices and systems around Seattle are going haywire and a student named Aidan Lockhart is pulled into an adventure in which he faces a virtual reality mixed into the real world. Only Aidan and the other players can fix everything.

Synopsis
(Only the most important details of the plot are written in here, minor details can be imagined by readers themselves. The same thing goes for any possible quotes from the dialogue.)

Death of Dr. Lockhart
In an old bunker, a 65 years old man is doing an important research regarding the smartphones and mobile devices. It has been two years since the Recreation and the man had just finished with his new creation. It's a device that looks like a combination of a smartphone and Digivice. The man, named Dr. Derek Lockhart, records this diary and talks with a mysterious voice. Lockhart says that he did what the voice asked him to and asks if he is happy now. The voice thanks him for his work and Lockhart asks if he can be released from his duty. The voice, however, doesn't want anyone to interfere and decides that Lockhart is not supposed to be a variable in his matrix. Then, the new device starts to float in the air and it levitates into a portal opened in tablet. Then a red beam comes out of the tablet, mortally wounding Dr. Lockhart, who says his work is done before dying.

The embarrassing situation
3 months later, in Seattle, a high school student named Aidan is watching a football match where his friend Uriah Bonham is playing. Uriah is very popular among girls and is considered a model student among the school. Aidan himself is often clumsy and rarely has courage to talk to other people. But after saying goodbye to a certain girl, Uriah comes to talk with Aidan. They are revealed to be best friends. Uriah felt sorry for Aidan, but not because Aidan had an inferiority complex. Aidan was the grandson of Dr. Lockhart and the funeral had been held two months ago. Aidan had been very close to his grandfather, since they both were interested of mobile devices. They were soon greeted by a girl named Anna Keaton, but Aidan had no courage to talk to her. Uriah was better at talking and Aidan was forced to just stand and watch. Aidan clearly had a crush on the girl, but always looked like a silent and clumsy person, unlike Uriah.

After leaving, Aidan hears people talking about mysterious emails and messages. There were embarrassing things revealed about certain students. Luckily, Aidan wasn't one of the victims. But then he received a message with a photo. Aidan was suspicious, but decided to check the photo anyways. The photo showed Anna with a bad haircut. He couldn't tell about the photo to anyone so Anna wouldn't feel embarrassed and betrayed. But why would a photo like that exist? He needed to check if the photo was real or fake.

New world in the Digiversum
Aidan was aware of everything that had happened on Earth last years. Before the Reconfiguration, the Digiversum had only existed inside desktop computer networks while causing only small disturbances on other types of electronical devices. But ever since the Reconfiguration, new worlds had been discovered from the Digiversum. They had been born separately inside every new kind of device invented after 1990s. But now those worlds had become part of it as well. However, there was a mysterious unbreakable barrier between the real world and a certain world of the Digiversum only accessible through smartphones and tablets.

Dr. Lockhart was part of the research on this matter, but after his death, many of his research material as well as the data of his private projects were missing. No one knew what had happened to it. This was thought to be related to the problems with smartphones and tablets that had started two months after Dr. Lockhart's death. Certain application had started to act automatically. Messenger, chat or email applications were the first ones to act that way. These disturbances must have also caused the photos and data being shared into places where they were never meant to. And much to Aidan's embarrassment, the photo about Anna's failed attempt to change her haircut was revealed to be real. Aidan tried to delete the message, but it was immediately sent into his phone once again. He then opens a package containing something he had inherited from his grandfather. The content was revealed to be a strange kind of new smartphone with an unknown type of interface.

Meanwhile, in the same world in the Digiversum that is blocked by a barrier, the mysterious phenomenon starts affecting on other kinds of application as well. They include games, entertainment applications and navigators.

Meeting Gatchmon
In the morning, Aidan decides to leave his old phone in home, while trying the new smartphone. But ever since he had transferred his original telephone connection there, the embarrassing photo of Anna now kept being sent there instead. But then, he found a new type application on the phone. The interface also showed a function called Appliarise. He decided to try it after school and keep the phone shut down until then. But at school, the embarrassing photo of Anna had been spread around the school. Uriah was comforting him and Aidan tried to comfort them as well. But then people started to bully Aidan as well. They claimed that there was another embarrassing photo which was about Aidan. Aidan has no choice but to activate his new smartphone publicly and he sees a bed-wetting photo of himself. He never took such a photo and he believes Anna never took a picture of her failed haircut either. The disturbance must be affecting camera applications as well.

The phone recommends him to use Appliarise function. Aidan goes into a private place and activates the function. That is when his smartphone releases something through a vortex-like effect: a small being who calls itself Gatchmon. Gatchmon asks if he is someone who wants to be a protagonist of a game. Aidan has no idea of what game the little creature is talking about but Gatchmon simply asks again. Aidan decides to blindly agree and Gatchmon urges him to follow him and find an "infected Appmon" to solve the problem. Aidan can't let the creature just run wildly, so he decides to go with him. A red-haired girl sees him and decides to follow.

Source of emails and messages
Aidan is forced to keep Gatchmon hidden in his backpack even though it feels heavy. In downtown, Aidan sees a being that looks like three different emoticons standing on their each other. Gatchmon says it is Messemon, an infected Appmon. Aidan checks his new smartphone and sees a function that can analyze an Appmon. Messemon is the Message Appmon and it must be behind the message problems. Every other disturbance in applications must be coming from different Appmon. Gatchmon was innocent, since he was the Search Appmon and no search application was acting strangely.

That was when the red-haired girl arrived, showing her own mysterious smartphone and Appliarising Dokamon the Action Game Appmon from it. The girl commanded Dokamon to act and stop Messemon. Aidan recognized the girl as Erin Gingell, a bossy cheerleader from his school. Erin asks if he is just going to stand and do nothing. Aidan didn't understand what it was all about, but Gatchmon was willing to work on its own. At that moment, they saw a couple of other Appmon: a green one with swords resembling compass needles and a blue one in a mailman costume. Gatchmon recognized the green one as his friend Navimon the Navi Appmon. The mailman was Mailmon the Mail Appmon which Gatchmon claimed to be the Code 1 of the 7code Appmon.

Messemon starts to provoke Gatchmon, but Gatchmon ignores them. Aidan realizes that affecting others' emotions must be Messemon's weapon. He encourages Gatchmon to keep fighting while Gatchmon advises Aidan to activate Applink function. When Messemon is destroyed it turns into a chip is sent inside Aidan's new smartphone which Gatchmon calls an Applidrive. Aidan then activates the function and Gatchmon Applinks with Messemon. Gatchmon says that with more power he may be able to purify Navimon as well.

The assault of Cameramon
Then, from a vortex appears three Appmon: two with gas masks and tentacle and one with finger looking like cameras. It was Cameramon the Camera Appmon and two Virusmon. Gatchmon knew that the Virusmon army is behind the infection, but Cameramon was not infected at all. It worked with the Virusmon willingly. Aidan asked if Cameramon was the one who with Messemon and Mailmon sent those photos to everyone in high school. Cameramon simply wanted to crush Aidan's determination as he and Erin were two of the four Applidrivers chosen to play the game started by Cameramon's master. Cameramon refused to tell who the master was, but the televisions and radios around Seattle were affected by a signal. Two voices, which came from two Commentary Appmon called MCmon and Tutomon, commented that the people had no reason to panic. And called it a game between two sides and that Seattle had been chosen to act as the playable area. The winner of the game would determine the future of humanity.

Aidan refused to let his home turned into a battlefield, but Cameramon left him no choice. Erin recommended a cooperation and Aidan agreed. Gatchmon reverted from his Applink with Messemon and Applinked with Dokamon instead. Cameramon, Navimon and Mailmon kept attacking. Navimon also caused disturbance in navigation applications so that people couldn't interfere. Gatchmon and Dokamon destroyed the two Virusmon and they attempted to purify Navimon. Cameramon and Mailmon tried to interfere, but Mailmon was suddenly attacked by a blue-caped Appmon that disappeared as soon as it collected Mailmon's chip. Cameramon recognized that a player codenamed Racker has joined the first round. He was angry for losing the first 7code Appmon, but happy that Aidan and Erin lost it too. After Cameramon had left, Aidan and Erin had to go school and pay for the consequences of skipping it. But they wanted Gatchmon and Dokamon to explain everything after their detention. Meanwhile, a black-hooded boy congratulated the blue-caped Appmon Hackmon the Hacking Appmon from good work.

Story of the Appmon
Everyone was surprised that Aidan was seen with Erin, considering their differences, but Uriah believed Aidan when he said they were not together. Anna wanted to talk to Aidan and saw their Applidrives, wanting to know how they got such strange smartphones. Aidan and Erin had no choice, but to Appliarise Gatchmon and Dokamon in front of her. Now it was time for the two Appmon to explain what was this all about.

Gatchmon told that the Appmon are a sub-species of Digimon born from the Appmon Ocean, a virtual world that became one with the Digiversum at the same time the Reconfiguration happened. But unlike the Digimon, they can only die if their Appmon Chips are destroyed. Otherwise they can always be Appliarised again every time their physical bodies are destroyed. Gatchmon and Dokamon are Buddy Appmon of Aidan and Erin respectively. Every other Appmon whose Chip they collect can only be Applinked with the Buddy Appmon and no one else during the battle, to make the Buddy Appmon even more effective fighters. Applidrives were sent for four people who were chosen to be part of the Game as "Applidrivers". The Game was arranged by a fifth Applidriver who is behind the appearance of the Virusmon army and the infected Appmon the other players are forced to fight against. The winner will be the side that collects the special Appmon Chips that belong to the 7code Appmon. Those seven Appmon are the only way to drive the infection out of the real world. The first 7code Appmon was Mailmon who was already captured by one of the other players.

Aidan wants to win the Game, but he secretly wonders if he simply wants to be popular or genuinely help those in trouble. He, however, decides to remain as part of it, but wants to find out the identities of the other three players alongside him and Erin. Erin admits that she was very lonely before meeting another Applidriver. The one who stole Mailmon's chip is known by the name Racker, an infamous hacker, while the another is one is a famous YouTube user ToobJockey whose videos are about the music he makes as an amateur DJ. Anna agrees to help Aidan and Erin to find out the identity of ToobJockey. But they decided not to tell Uriah, so they wouldn't endanger him.

Meeting the ToobJockey
The identity of ToobJockey was Joseph Timmins. He came from a rich family and his father wished to make the restaurant business he started one that would be inherited by his own son. Joseph wanted to inherit his father's restaurants but didn't want to give up his DJ career for it. He had his own Applidrive and Musimon the Music Appmon as his Buddy Appmon. But unlike other players, he simply hoped that the Game would solve itself without him doing anything for it. Musimon had the same opinion. After finishing his record for the day, he decided to go outside while Musimon returned inside his Applidrive.

After stepping out of his house, he bumped into three other people: Aidan, Erin, and Anna. Joseph had no time no talk with "fans", because had to go to his father's office. Aidan and the others were already aware of Joseph's family history, but said that the situation is too serious. Joseph said he had no choice, because his father was sick and Joseph was needed to help at managing things, despite his young age. Joseph's mother had no knowledge of restaurant business and Joseph's father refused to let the other executives make decisions without a Timmins family member being present. He didn't want to betray his parents and his online friends by allowing the Game to take his time from his responsibilities. Musimon said he would only help the other Buddy Appmon if Joseph would allow that to happen.

Role-playing game begins
At that moment, the city began to be twisted by several occurrences. Gatchmon and Dokamon told Aidan and Erin that they needed to go right now. Right before them, some places started to turn into places familiar from role-playing video games. It was caused by Roleplaymon the Roleplaying Game Appmon whom Gatchmon identified as Code 2 of the 7code Appmon. There were other chaotic things happening. Some files of from smartphones and tablets started to disappear and started to appear on other devices. But Mailmon was defeated, so what could cause it this time? They got a glimpse of two infected Appmon: Garbagemon and Copypastemon. They were Code 3 and Code 5 of the 7code Appmon. Garbagemon was the Trashbin Appmon and Copypastemon was the Copy/Paste Appmon, using their abilities to remove files but also copy and paste them.

That was when Cameramon reappeared before the Applidrivers. Cameramon had brought three more uninfected Appmon with him: Shotmon, Jetmon and Yadomon. The four were willingly serving the organizer of the Game and prepared to fight the Applidrivers to prevent them from purifying the infected Appmon. Aidan and Erin Appliarised Gatchmon and Dokamon and then Applinked them both once again. Cameramon and Shotmon, were not frightened. They claimed that they can do even better. That was when an unknown voice said, "App Fuse Cameramon and Shotmon", surprising Aidan completely. Then, Cameramon and Shotmon didn't just Applink with each other. Their bodies fused into a new and more powerful Appmon: Scopemon. Unlike any previous Appmon, Scopemon was a Super Grade Appmon. Roleplaymon immediately determined Applidrivers as "players going into a raid battle against a boss fight", referring Scopemon as "the boss".

Learning App Fuse
Joseph had seen everything that Roleplaymon, Garbagemon and Copypastemon had done to Seattle and realized that he had arrived to help Aidan and Erin to stop the disaster. Then, he detected two infected Appmon nearby, causing trouble. It was Recomon the Recording Appmon, manipulating voice recordings and microphones. The other one was Gourmon the Gourmet Appmon, wreaking havoc in one of Tanner family restaurants and manipulating restaurant reviews. This was now personal for Joseph as he couldnt stand anything like this family name being ruined an event like this.

Meanwhile, Aidan and Erin keep fighting against Scopemon, with Jetmon and Yadomon as minor opponents. Then Aidan decides to try Appliarising Navimon. Navimon appears as a benevolent Appmon fighting alongside Gatchmon and Dokamon. Then, Aidan finds out that Navimon is an Appmon that can be App Fused with Gatchmon. Dokamon cuts of the Applink so Aidan and Gatchmon can try it. Aidan successfully performs App Fusion, creating DoGatchmon the Super Search Appmon. Anna and are amazed to see this and so is Joseph who just arrived at the scene. He asks Erin to cooperate with him to stop Recomon and Gourmon. That is when Jetmon and Yadomon decide to go after them, leaving Scopemon to fight DoGatchmon alone. Erin and Dokamon decided to face Gourmon and noticed how Garbagemon was using its powers to get rid of all recipe files and to trick Gourmon and keep it under the control of the infection. Erin tried to talk to Gourmon and convince it purify itself. Erin manages to purify Gourmon and notices how she can App Fuse it with Dokamon. She managed to create Dosukomon the Fighting Game Appmon. Dosukomon ends up into a battle against Garbagemon. The battle ends with Erin purifying Garbagemon and obtaining his chip. Joseph also manages to purify Recomon and obtain his chip.

Jetmon and Yadomon come to warn Scopemon about what happened, which convinces them to retreat with Roleplaymon and Copypastemon who are still infected. However, DoGatchmon and Dosukomon capture Copypastemon, purifying him and then using his App to delete all copied and pasted files. But they still had enemies to defeat and more questions to ask. Aidan had an idea how to find answers.

The legend of Dantemon
When the team finds MCmon and Tutomon, Aidan threatens them to reveal who the fifth Applidriver and the organizer of the Game is. The two swear that they are simply doing what they exist for: acting merely as commentators, no matter who the organizer is. They are not allowed side with any of the players. But they say that two of the 7code Appmon has managed to escape the Virusmon infection. And that these Appmon would have the answers they seek about the organizer.

At that moment, Aidan, Erin, Joseph and Anna track down the Code 4 Appmon: Tellermon the Fortune Telling Appmon. They want to ask from Tellermon who the organizer is and why the 7code Appmon are so special. Tellermon had already been expecting them. She said that no one truly predict future but she has guessed and studied the path that can lead to victory. She knows that the portals into the Surface Web, the most surface part of the Appmon Ocean. The door become to the Deep Web has become locked and unlocking it is the key to drive the Appmon back to where they came from. The only Appmon who can do this is Dantemon and his essence is carried by each of the 7code Appmon. Mailmon has the left arm, Roleplaymon has the left leg, Garbagemon has the right arm and shoulder, Copypastemon has the left shoulder, and Tellermon herself has the right leg. Two unidentified 7code Appmon have Dantemon's torso and head. But the identity and origin of the organizer was known only by one human: Derek Lockhart. Aidan's grandfather is dead, but Aidan and his mother still have some of his stuff in their home.

The Racker meets Applidrivers
Meanwhile, the Racker has been tracking Roleplaymon and finds out that the other players have obtained chips of Garbagemon and Copypastemon. He and Hackmon reveal themselves to Aidan and his friends, telling that he has come after the three 7code Appmon. Aidan asks why he acts against the other Applidrivers as well. The Racker reveals that his real name is Ryan Davies and that the Game personal only to him. Aidan, Anna and Joseph try to reveal the embarrassment they experienced because of these events, but Ryan doesn't change his mind. That is when Tellermon is suddenly attacked by a group of Virusmon and infected by them. Ryan blames Aidan for this and challenges him and Erin for the chips of Garbagemon and Copypastemon.

Ryan reveals that he has another Appmon: Protecmon the Security Appmon. He then App Fuses it with Hackmon into Raidramon the Super Hacking Appmon. Aidan and Erin Appliarise DoGatchmon and Dosukomon to fight him, but Raidramon is very powerful opponent. Aidan tells Erin to take care of Tellermon and decides to face Ryan and Raidramon by himself. But then Joseph uses his own Applidrive to App Fuse Musimon and Recomon, creating Mediamon the Media Player Appmon. That was when something happened to Dosukomon. The App Fuse function had a bug that turned Dosukomon into Sakusimon the Failed Appmon. DoGatchmon felt the bug as well and tried to resist as much as he could. Sakusimon went rampage, defeating Tellermon, but Mediamon and Raidramon were now the only ones capable of stopping it. Aidan and Erin had no choice but to de-Appliarise Gatchmon, Navimon, Dokamon and Gourmon. Before being turned into a chip, Tellermon said that the two most powerful 7code Appmon had just fallen into the hands of the Final Boss. Aidan told Ryan they would resume their duel once they had checked one thing.

Story of Dr. Lockhart
Aidan, Erin, Joseph, Anna and Ryan went into Aidan's home and checked the stuff left behind by Dr. Lockhart. They included a platform and a tablet. They found out that they can connect their Applidrives into the platform which then showed a holographic message. The message was from Dr. Lockhart who said that this message is for Aidan and the three other Applidrivers chosen to be the players of the Game. He said that the Final Boss of the Game was not actually a human Applidriver but an artificial intelligence controlling the fifth Applidrive, the one that allowed Cameramon and Shotmon to App Fuse and controlled the Virusmon army. He said the artificial intelligence was part of a larger one called IBIS, but broke free because of conflicted protocol. IBIS went dormant and helped him to create the Applidrives, but the evil fragment forced him to create the fifth one, the Virusdriver. The fragment organized the game by taking over the four Applidrives and ensuring that they end up in hands of Aidan, Erin, Joseph and Ryan. The tablet was the 7code PAD, the device meant to Appliarise Dantemon after all 7code Appmon have been collected. He said that he had no knowledge of what the fragment wanted but that Appliarising Dantemon and destroying the Virusdrive are needed to awaken IBIS and defeat the fragment. He wished them good luck and the message ended.

Ryan's resolution
After this, Aidan wanted to know why Ryan wanted to act alone and what he knew. Ryan said that his brother Henry is digitized and turned into an Appmon by the Virusdrive A.I. with advanced technology. But he doesn't which Appmon Chip his brother is and wants to confront the A.I. to find out the answer. Ryan admits that Henry is a computer genius and that the A.I. is probably using him. This is personal for him and that is why acted alone. But then, Roleplaymon attacked the neighborhood with Scopemon, Jetmon and Yadomon. Aidan and the others left the house to avoid their location to be revealed.

They came to confront their enemies. This time the Virusdrive App Fused Jetmon and Yadomon as well, creating Tripmon the Trip Appmon. They also summoned an Appmon named Warpmon who was referred as the Catalyst of the Weapon. Scopemon sent Warpmon to find the Code 7 Appmon while Scopemon and Tripmon were then starting to App Fuse even further. Satellamon the GPS Appmon was created. Satellamon was an Ultimate Grade Appmon and powerful enough to disturb all GPS satellites of Earth. This was a challenge so powerful even for Ryan alone so he finally agreed to work together with the other Applidrivers.

Ultimate Appmon battle
Roleplaymon is standing in front of Swedish Medical Center where Code 6 Appmon Medicmon the Medical Appmon struggled with the infection, having been infected only few moments after Tellermon. Several other infected Appmon as well as many Virusmon gathered there. A massive battle began, with Aidan, Erin, Joseph and Ryan purifying several infected Appmon and destroying many Virusmon. The defeated Appmon included Watchmon, Calendamon and Unzipmon. They even faced Coachmon the Training Appmon who voluntarily opposed the Applidrivers hoping that one of them could prove his worthiness before giving up his chip. Erin athletically avoided the attacks of Virusmon and Coachmon saw potential in her, allowing his chip to be taken by her. Aidan ended the roleplaying game distortions by purifying Roleplaymon and taking his chip. Ryan gave him Mailmon's chip, Joseph gave Tellermon's, and Erin gave chips of Garbagemon and Copypastemon. The Applidrivers now had five 7code Appmon Chips.

Joseph went inside hospital to confront Medicmon while Aidan, Erin and Ryan battled Satellamon. Joseph found out there was one infected Appmon in the building. It was Dreammon the Dream Appmon. Mediamon was Appliarised to battle and after a brief battle Dreammon was purified. Then he found Medicmon and prepared to battle it. Meanwhile, Aidan, Erin and Ryan are trying to figure out which Applinks could be effective and which Appmon can be App Fused. Aidan checks the chips of Watchmon and Calendamon, finding out that they can be used to App Fuse Timemon which can be App Fused with DoGatchmon. Erin finds out that Coachmon can be App Fused with Dosukomon and Ryan finds out that Unzipmon can be App Fused with Raidramon. They use App Fuse to Appliarise Globemon the Global Appmon, Oujamon the Battle Game Appmon and Revivemon the Restoration Appmon. They manage to destroy every single Virusmon and find out that the final 7code Appmon is flying above Space Needle. Joseph has learned to App Fuse Mediamon with Dreammon to create Entermon the Entertainment Appmon and purifies Medicmon.

Rise of Cometmon
The four Applidrives find their way to Space Needle and they see a dragon-like Appmon flying above it. The Code 7 Appmon was revealed to Weatherdramon the Weather Appmon. But before they could go face it, the voice of Virusdrive A.I. is heard, activating an App Fuse between Weatherdramon and Warpmon. The App Fuse is immensely powerful one since it creates a very large Appmon: Cometmon the Astrology Appmon. The Applidrivers have only six of the 7code Appmon and they need to de-App Fuse Cometmon to get Weatherdramon back. The voices of other 7code Appmon, however, explain that they can relinquish their 7code powers to the 7code PAD despite leaving the PAD themselves. All the Applidrivers need to do is to separate Weatherdramon's 7code power and add it into the PAD to Appliarise Dantemon.

The Applidrivers find their way into the tower and send their Appmon to try to talk to Weatherdramon. But Satellamon reappears and starts battling them. Aidan decides to jump from the tower into Cometmon to do it himself. Aidan was afraid to do that but he needed to just act rather than be frozen. Erin and Ryan jump successfully, but Joseph almost fails before his friends manage to take his hand. Satellamon, however, threatens them. He has the chip of Sleepmon, revealing it to be the Appmon Chip Henry was digitized into. Ryan tries to use hacking to take it back, but the Virusdrive is protected. Aidan realizes that the Virusdrive needs to be found and destroyed. Globemon believes it to be in the Surface Web so they decide to take a risk and transport themselves there. Joseph and Ryan attack with Entermon and Revivemon to get Sleepmon chip, but Satellamon crushes the chip. Ryan is shocked, but then Revivemon manages to fix the chip and capture it for Ryan. Then, Entermon and Revivemon defeat Satellamon and prevent their chips to be taken back by the Virusdrive.

Erin and Oujamon attempts to contact Weatherdramon and make it separate the 7code power from Cometmon's body. Cometmon tries to shake off the Applidrivers from its body, but Erin takes the 7code PAD and Cometmon starts to lose control. She attempts to absorb Weatherdramon's 7code power into the PAD, but is met with resistance.

Return of Dantemon
Aidan and Globe find themselves from the Surface Web in front of an altar with an Applidrive kept in a small stone tablet. This Applidrive must be the Virusdrive and the A.I. appears as a small red vortex above it. The A.I. reveals its name of be Draconix, having separated itself from the limits of IBIS protocol, finding it imperfect and giving it a chance to stay under the protocol with more effective ways. Draconix claims that it can solve problems of humanity that IBIS and its creators never could, asking if Aidan really considers himself as a hero by simply defeating an A.I. with different ideals.

Joseph and Ryan come to help Erin with trying to absorb Weatherdramon's 7code power, Aidan uses all the Appmon he has with him to connect with the other Applidrivers and boost others' power so much that the absorbing is completed. The 7code PAD is finally completed. Draconix tries to take Satellamon's chip back but is prevented from doing so. 7code PAD shatters and unleashes the body parts of Dantemon that start combining with each other. Dantemon takes the Applidrivers to safe before destroying Cometmon with one slash. Ryan Appliarises Sleepmon and asks how they can return him back to Henry. The Applidrives tells Ryan to go back to Aidan's house. Dantemon opens a large portal that takes them there immediately. But after they go through Dantemon turns into a stone arch that stabilizes the portal before unlocking the door between Surface Web and Deep Web. Ryan finds laser-like device and puts Sleepmon on it.

Erin, Joseph, Oujamon, Entermon and Revivemon go through portal to meet with Aidan and Globemon. Draconix is enraged that Dantemon had stabilized the portals and unlocked the door to Deep Web, but promises that the Game can never end as long as the Virusdrive exists. The A.I. attempts to retake Satellamon's chip once more, but is prevented from doing so again. Then, Aidan starts to damage the device, finally destroying it. The A.I. comes out and attempts to attack, but a giant blue vortex made by briefly reawakened IBIS starts pulling Draconix in. Erin and Joseph shatter the Satellamon chip before sending it into the vortex with Draconix. They then return to the real world and find out that Ryan managed to rematerialize Henry, but not without destroying the digitizing laser.

New friend group
Few days later, Aidan and Anna had told everything to Uriah who says that he always knew Aidan had some heroism within him. The three high school students meet up with Erin, Joseph and Ryan. Ryan tells that Henry is suffering from a slight memory loss so they won't find out the reason why Draconix used him very soon. The Applidrivers still have their Applidrivers and the Appmon Chips stored inside them and spent time in a room inside the bookstore owned by Anna's father. However, IBIS had gone back dormant, with Aidan resolving to reawaken it once again and figure out if Draconix is truly defeated or not. After all they never saw source codes of the malevolent A.I. being deleted. But today they would enjoy with new ways of life the Appmon can give to them.

Mid-credit scene
Red program codes start to gather together in an abyss below the Deep Web. They start forming a glowing red head of a dragon. The dragon is revealed to be Draconix itself who starts to repair the Appmon Chip of Satellamon and activate few more Appmon Chips it had collected.

Trivia

 * The main focus of the film is Aidan becoming acquainted with the world of Appmon and figuring out if he has potential to be a hero or not.
 * Despite the story being inspired by Digimon Universe: Appli Monsters, there are several differences:
 * Applidrives are sent in packages to other Applidrivers and inherited by Aidan instead being given from vending machines.
 * Minerva and Leviathan are renamed IBIS and Draconix to avoid similarity with names of Mervamon and Leviamon. The new names were inspired by the symbols of both A.I. since "ibis" means owl in Latin and "draconis" means dragon.
 * In this film, saving a character based on Hajime Katsura was saved at the same time when Dantemon was Appliarised to defeat Cometmon, unlike in the anime when it happened much later.
 * Unlike the first installments of previous spin-off duologies, Appmon has only few scenes set in the Digiversum and is almost entirely set in the real world.
 * The film includes less easter eggs than other films, mentioning only the existence of the Digimon and Reconfiguration of the Digiversum that happened in Digimon: The Descending.

Sequel
A sequel to Appmon was announced in January 15, 2017, and it was planned to be released as the sixteenth installment of the Digiversum, after Digimon Origins #3: The Light, Olympos XII: Legacy, Digimon: New Information Age and Cyberspace EDEN are released. When Appmon was released, title of the sequel was revealed to be Appmon: On & Off, hinting Onmon and Offmon to appear in a key role.
