Arukenimon's Tangled Web

'''The DigiDestined find themselves fighting against their own Digimon, due to Arukenimon's sinister spell. The only way out of this fiendish situation is to outwit this mysterious mastermind!'''

Synopsis
<!-- Cody, Davis, and Ken are trapped in a Dokugumon's web; although they call for help, ExVeemon is busy fending off the brainwashed Stingmon and Digmon, while Yolei is running from a swarm of Flymon, and T.K. and Kari are hiding from some vicious Snimon. Desperate for options, Cody spots a giant air conditioner, so Ken lofts a chunk of wood to Davis, who kicks it at the thermostat, turning on the air conditioning and blowing Dokugumon away. As they lower themselves to the bed below, ExVeemon is knocked down and degenerates to Veemon. The children quickly lock themselves in a nearby nightstand, but the strange woman sends Digmon and Stingmon after them. Pondering the situation, Ken realizes that it is the sound from the woman's flute that is brainwashing the Insect Digimon, and that playing back an inverse sound-wave will negate the spell's effect. Ken, Davis, and Cody communicate their plan to the others, and so Yolei, T.K., and Kari make their way to the Giga House's computer, narrowly escaping the Flymon which get stuck in the room's door. Aquilamon changes into Shurimon and helps defend T.K. while he hooks up the sound equipment, while Kari and Yolei record the sound of the flute. Just as Digmon and Stingmon break into the nightstand and the Flymon break through the door, Kari and Yolei finish their work and play the counter-spell.

Furious that her insect slaves have been freed, the strange woman jumps down to the bedroom. Cody realizes that the woman is actually a Digimon since she sustatained no injury, and the woman reveals herself as Arukenimon. Arukenimon attacks Davis, which prompts Veemon to digivolve into ExVeemon. Arukenimon easily has the upper hand, and uses her "Spider Thread" to knock the two into another area, while the others notice and also try to fight her. Arukenimon dodges the attacks of the other Digimon. ExVeemon and Stingmon tell them they'll handle it and DNA Digivolve to Paildramon.

Paildramon and Arukenimon attack, both managing to land blows on each other. The other DigiDestined and their Digimon also decide to help out and create a trap. Davis and Ken have Paildramon move to the dining room, and the unwary Arukenimon follows him. As she enters the dining room, the other DigiDestined stun her with various insecticides and then gets electrocuted with wires, and the coup de grâce delivered by Paildramon.

The DigiDestined tell Arukenimon that they won't take her life and ask her some questions. The first question to her is meaningless, and that she destroys because it is her purpose. Kari asks her how she is able to turn the Control Spires into Digimon. Arukenimon doesn't give an exact answer and just tells the DigiDestined that they wouldn't understand if they didn't know the true nature of them. Arukenimon attempts to attack, but Paildramon blocks and prepares to kill her when another person interrupts.

The strange person then reveals himself as another Digimon, Mummymon, which shocks the DigiDestined. Mummymon launches a projectile from his gun, which knocks Paildramon off into a cabinet. The other DigiDestined's Digimon rush in to attack Mummymon, but he uses "Snake Bandage" to wrap them all up. Mummymon and Arukenimon then leave the Giga House, and the DigiDestined now have a new problem on their hands. Somewhere else in the Digital World, Arukenimon scolds Mummymon for not finishing off the DigiDestined when he had the chance. Arukenimon decides to do something with the Control Spires since she is worried if the DigiDestined continue to destroy them.
