Dark Masters

The Dark Masters are a fictitious villain group from the first season of animated series Digimon.

Digimon Adventure
Byproducts of the choas Apocalymon had on the Digital World, the Dark Masters were started by Piedmon, with MetalSeadramon, Machinedramon, and Puppetmon joining him when that began their reign terror throughout the Digital World while the DigiDestined were fighting Myotismon. Prior to the events involving the DigiDestined, the Dark Masters defeated the four Soverigns and sealed them away. When the DigiDestined returned to the Digital World, they discovered that the Digital World was warped (due to Apocalymon) and the Dark Masters used some of the land's data to form Spiral Mountain with their base of operations, Piedmon's castle, on top. The Dark Masters outmatch all eight DigiDestined, Chuumon is killed by Piedmon, and Piximon sacrificed his life to get the DigiDestined away from the Dark Masters. The DigiDestined climbed Spiral Mountain, and defeated each of the Dark Masters with some help from their old Digimon friends. The Dark Masters were defeated and the kids had to fight Apocalymon.
