The Insect Master's Trap

'''The DigiDestined travel to Giga House, where they find themselves on the run from a horde of Insect Digimon, under the command of the mysterious woman who's already caused them so much grief.

Synopsis
The Digidestined resume their mission to destroy the remaining Control Spires in the Digital World, making more progress each passing day, with Ken and Wormmon also joining the mission, albeit separately. During an evening break after another successful day, the Digimon partners begin to ask DemiVeemon about his experience in DNA Digivolution, which he replies with great enthusiasm. Davis also adds that during the process, he also felt spiritually connected with Ken as if their hearts were beating at the same time. Hearing his statement, Kari expresses her feeling about the mysterious nature of this new form of Digivolution and how many possibilities it can bring to their team, though Cody still remains unsure out of fear that the process might be harmful to their Digimon partners.

Meanwhile, Ken and Wormmon continue to destroy the spires late into the night, with Ken worrying about the possible side effects of DNA Digivolution should he have to battle alongside Davis and the rest again, but is dismissed by Wormmon who questions that Ken is actually using it as an excuse due to him having yet to open his heart to the others. The duo decide to put the discussion on hold for other time and return to the Real World, not wanting to risk Ken's parents worrying about him any further.

The mysterious woman soon catches up with the Digidestined's plan to destroy all the Control Spires. After watching the tape recorder left by the kids and angry toward them for calling her "some kind of witch", the woman decides to cut the chase and send out a massage to the Digidestined with an intention to settle down their affair at the Giga House. Though the kids are skeptical at accepting such a suspicious invitation, their decide to comply as they would have to face the woman sooner or later anyway, and this might be their best chance to stop her.

The Digidestined arrives at the Giga House and is soon joined by Ken and Wormmon who are against the entire team heading inside, knowing that the whole thing is a trap set up by the woman. Though agreeing with him, Yolei also expresses the necessity to confront the woman and put an end to her plan. Hearing this, T.K. comes up with a compromise: dividing the team in to two groups, the first group, consisting of Davis, Ken, Cody, and their partners, will head inside the house to confront the woman, while the second group, consisting of T.K. and the rest, will remain standby outside and rush in as reinforcement if necessary. The mysterious woman, who has been spying on the kids from the roof through her telescope, laughs at the kids' stupidity for walking into her trap and gleefully runs off to prepare "a few surprises" for her guests.

Davis' group heads inside through the kitchen's window and is attacked by an army of Roachmons. Veemon, Armadillmon, and Wormmon Digivolve to their Champion forms to fight off, but is soon forced to flee due to being outnumbered. At the same time, an army of Flymons and Snimons chases T.K.'s group, and they're also forced to flee inside the Giga House, alerting them that something is wrong with this swarm of Insect Digimons.

At the bathroom, Davis' group is able to throw off the Roachmons with Exveemon using the shower head to wash them down the drain, but is soon attacked by an army of Kunemons, causing Ken and Stingmon to fall into the washing machine. With quick thinking, Cody saves the two from drowning with Submarimon and droves away the Kunemons, and group flees into the air vent. Meanwhile, Yolei and Aquilamon decide to separate from T.K and the rest to search for Davis' group, as the six of them cannot fight through the army of Insect Digimons by themselves. Inside the air vent, Ken thanks Cody for his help, but is replied by the latter that he was just paying back Ken's help during Thundermon Incident. On the other side of the house, T.K., Pegasusmon, Kari, and Nefertimon escape the Snimons into an office with a gigantic computer and set up a defensive stance.

Back in the air vent, Davis' group hears sound coming from the attic and follows it, eventually coming face to face with the mysterious woman, playing a flute. Though unimpressed at the kids's "lack of manner", the woman answers the kids' desire to put an end to her terror by controlling Stingmon with the sound of her flute and forcing him to fight against Exveemon before they can DNA Digivolve. Knowing that they're at disadvantage as long as Stingmon is under the woman's control, Cody has Armadillomon Armor Digivolve to Digmon to take back the flute. Unfortunately for Cody, Digmon is also ensorcelled by the woman as he and Ken realize that her flute has the power to control all the Insect-type Digimon in vicinity, including all the swarms of Insect Digimons they had battled so far, with the woman gloating at the kids for that there is nothing they can do to stop her.

Around the same time, Yolei and Aquilamon still have no luck in finding anyone else, while the horde of Snimons finally break into the office where T.K. and the rest are hiding.

Now in complete control of the situation, the woman orders Digmon to finish Davis, Ken, and Cody off by drilling into the floor, causing the three to fall into a web on the ceiling of the bedroom where Dokugumon lays await, ready to dispose of them at her command. Davis' team is now truly in a sticky situation, and must find a way to escape it before Dokugumon spells their doom.
