She pleads for Mikey to save Nene and explains his leverage over her and his ultimate goal for the Darkness Loader. Mikey agrees to rescue her.

Elsewhere, and  look at the Dust Zone. AxeKnightmon introduces himself, though Laylamon doesn't recognize the existence of Midnight, so AxeKnightmon reveals his alliance with Christopher. He offers a chance to join forces to take out Mikey, which Laylamon accepts, though both parties plan on backstabbing each other when convenient.

The next day, Mikey and his group attempt to attack the tower, only to be met by Blue Flare. During this onslaught, Mikey realizes that Christopher is under another party's control. Using words to bring Christopher to doubt himself, Mikey then physically beats the mind control out of him, just as AxeKnightmon shows up with reinforcements. Christopher sets his entire force on AxeKnightmon, only for Laylamon to ambush them with her.

An all out battle ensues, while Mikey joins to rescue Nene. After some convincing, Nene finally agrees, which lets Mikey digifuse with Sparrowmon to form, who cleans up shop. Laylamon attempts an attack from behind, but Puppetmon saves Mikey and gives him the DigiCard, which he uses to further thin the crowd along with Christopher's DigiFuses. Nene demands AxeKnightmon to give her brother back, but he refuses and states that he has no use for her anymore. AxeKnightmon reveals the full functional Darkness Loader, which he uses to digifuse other Digimon to himself. He launches a large dark disk at the group, and the Bagra Army retreats, while the Fusion Fighters and Blue Flare repel the attack. Mikey then receives the Code Crown and, rather than ruling over the Zone like, lets the Digimon govern for themselves. Blue Flare departs, with Christopher seeing Mikey as a pure rival now.
