Synopsis
As covers the Real World in darkness,,  and  continue to fight, but are defeated by MaloMyotismon's "Screaming Darkness" attack. However, Davis and the DigiDestined continue to fight, saying that they wouldn't give up.

In the Real World, the original DigiDestined, except Mimi who is in New York, travel to the summer camp where they were first transported to the Digital World, as the Highton View Terrace gate has been sealed by. They are accompanied by their respective families and the families of Davis, Yolei, Cody and Ken. They bring Noriko Kawada (a girl infected with the Dark Spore) with them. She is also accompanied by her parents. They intend to go to the Digital World to have Oikawa remove the Dark Spore from Noriko as well as help fight MaloMyotismon.

At the summer camp, they try to find a way to open the gate. Agumon is concerned that they may not be able to go to the Digital World. Tai attempts to open the gate by holding out his Digivice and shouting for the gate to open, but fails. Izzy is then startled by his laptop. When asked if there is something wrong, he states that something is happening to the gates across the world. The DigiDestined from all over the world gather their Digivices, pointing them towards the sky. The light from their Digivices combat MaloMyotismon's darkness, refusing to give in and give up to MaloMyotismon.

In the Digital World, the partner Digimon of all the DigiDestined and many who don't have partners, gather to battle MaloMyotismon and surround him. states that it was the light of the Digivices that lead them there. is glad that all the partner Digimon of all the DigiDestined came to help out. and then declare to MaloMyostimon that they won't allow him to succeed. MaloMyotismon deems their attempt to stop him useless and uses Screaming Darkness on them. The partner Digimon struggle, but refuse to give up. then calls out to Mimi for help.

In the Real World, Mimi answers the call for help and cries out Palmon's name. Mimi then sends a beam of golden light from her Digivice to the sky. Immediately, the DigiDestined from across the world follow suit, calling out their respective partner Digimon's name and sending beams of golden light from their Digivices to the sky. The lights reach the partner Digimon and they glow, which causes MaloMyotismon pain. Tai and the others, discovering that the gate in their location has opened, enter the Digital World, bringing Noriko with them.

Noriko's father is shocked by Noriko's sudden disappearance and looks for her. Matt and T.K's parents quickly assure Noriko's that she will be fine and that they should believe in them, earning agreement from the other parents, with Yuuko adding that everything will end up fine, just as it was three years ago.

All of the gates to the Digital World on Earth open and the golden light of the Digivices rain down onto the Digital World, engulfing the partner Digimon and transporting all the DigiDestined to the battle site as well as weakening MaloMyotismon, who was born of pure darkness. The DigiDestined descend to the battle site in the Digital World.

The original Japanese DigiDestined arrive with all of the other children, and Izzy explains that all the gates opened up at the same time, which Tai attributes to the bonds between the kids and their partners, while Joe explains to Davis and the others that they're there to help.

However, Oikawa's children, still in the dream dimension, become pessimistic since they lack Digimon partners, strengthening MaloMyotismon through their negative emotions in the form of a dark cloud. Davis and T.K. work to convince the children that they too can achieve their dreams, with Davis stating that someday he wants to open a noodle cart, and the seeded children begin stating their own aspirations. Now convinced by Davis that they can still realize their dreams, the children generate a flood of positivity that causes MaloMyotismon's physical form to disintegrate, even as he is voicing his refusal to be defeated and destroyed again by the Digi-Destined before attaining his ultimate victory.

The children's positive emotions summon their own partner Digimon and Digivices, delighting them, and MaloMyotismon is reduced to a dark cloud. Defiant, the demon states that even without a body, he will continue to fuel darkness in this world and will never be defeated, but the determined DigiDestined gift their light to Imperialdramon, who channels it into a massive "Giga Crusher" attack that destroys MaloMyotismon permanently, ending his threat.

As Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, Shakkoumon, and Silphymon degenerate, Gennai appears and tells he has a present for her: her tail ring, which she lost during Ken's reign as the Digimon Emperor. Gennai explains that Gatomon's tail ring was able to control the power of darkness in the Digital World, and allowed DNA Digivolution.

Everyone starts to celebrate, but Cody notices Oikawa, still in the dream dimension and weakened by MaloMyotismon. Cody quickly goes to him and tries to carry him out of the dream dimension, though it's pointless. Oikawa, realizing that these are his last moments before dying, tells Cody about the first time he met his father and their first encounter with Digimon. He thanks the DigiDestined. Oikawa then has his partner Digimon appear in front of him. Happy, yet sad, that he had a Digimon partner waiting for him, he fades into butterflies and uses the dream dimension's power to transform his physical form into energy and uses his life force to revitalize the Digital World.

The saddened Digi-Destined pay their final respects to Oikawa, mourning the loss of one of their own, as his life force transforms into a swarm of butterflies, which flutter off into the distance.

Much later, T.K. finishes typing his novel, recounting the events of the children's adventure. His son calls for him, worried that they'll be late, and T.K. explains that many things have changed since that fateful day.

Now twenty-five years on, the Japanese DigiDestined have now grown up and becomes parents, and their children have Digimon of their own, along with everyone else on Earth. T.K., the story's narrator, explains that he is a novelist detailing the DigiDestined's adventures, as he and his son leave to attend a gathering of the Japanese DigiDestined.

Tai, who now has a son, is a diplomat to the Digital World alongside Agumon. Matt and Sora are married with a daughter and a son, and Matt and Gabumon are the first Human/Digimon team to land on Mars, while Sora and Biyomon are fashion designers. Joe is the Digital World's first doctor and has a son. Mimi is a celebrity Chef and stars in a cooking show with Palmon, who is very clumsy on screen, and has a son. Mimi still wears her signature cowboy hat, but during her cooking show is the only time she ever takes it off. Izzy researches the Digital World with Joe's older brother and has a daughter, with whom he shares a personal language. Kari is a kindergarten teacher and has a son that has inherited her whistle. Ken and Yolei are married with three children, a girl and two boys, the youngest a baby, and Ken is a detective with, while Yolei has become a housewife. Cody has become a defense attorney and has a daughter. Davis has finally opened his noodle cart, which has become a worldwide chain and success. He also has a son who has inherited Tai's goggles.

T.K. states that the children have inherited the DigiDestined's duty to protect the worlds, and that Kari's dream of a harmonious bond between every human and Digimon has finally come true. The children, now playing a game of tag, run around as the Oikawa butterflies flutter into the sky.
