The three Celestial Digimon were the ones who took up the task of keeping the safe after  was defeated by the. The Warriors entrusted their Spirits to the three of them; Wind and Light to Seraphimon, Flame, Thunder, and Ice to Ophanimon, and Darkness, Steel, Wood, Water, and Earth to Cherubimon. However, Cherubimon, corrupted by Lucemon, believed that Ophanimon and Seraphimon were plotting against him as well as the beast-types, so he led his followers against them. Seraphimon was defeated by Cherubimon in a surprise strike, and Ophanimon surrendered to protect him. They were both sealed away, Seraphimon in the ceiling of his castle at the Forest Terminal, and Ophanimon in the Light Barrier in Cherubimon's Castle at Rose Morning Star.

When the human, called by Ophanimon, arrive at the Digital World, Cherubimon sends his servants to confront them in the hopes of taking their Spirits. Meanwhile, Ophanimon contacts the DigiDestined and directs them to Seraphimon's prison at the Forest Terminal. However, Cherubimon's servants—,, and —find them just as the children manage to free Seraphimon. In his weakened state, Seraphimon is defeated and scanned by Mercurymon, but the DigiDestined manage to escape with his.

Patamon hatches from the egg and continues onward with the group towards the Rose Morning Star. Despite being a Rookie, Patamon aids in the final battle against Velgemon, distracting him long enough for Takuya and Koji to recover and defeat him.

Ophanimon then calls the children to the Rose Morning Star. Having defeated Cherubimon's servants, and with the addition of, the children arrive at the Rose Morning Star to confront Cherubimon. In the following battle, Cherubimon manages to steal their D-Tectors and thus their Spirits, but not before Ophanimon is freed. She then tries to purify Cherubimon, but the darkness corrupting him is too strong, and she is forced to steal back the D-Tectors and return them to the children. She is also able to grant them the ability of Unified Spirit Evolution but is then destroyed by Cherubimon. With their new power, the children are able to defeat Cherubimon and purify him, but the final attack leaves him mortally wounded, and he dies in remorse with the spirits of Ophanimon and Seraphimon comforting him.

Later, on the Yellow Moon, Patamon discovers the eggs of Cherubimon and Ophanimon, and they hatch as their Rookie forms of Lopmon and Salamon. While working together, their holy powers allow them to form barriers and propel rocks. The spirits of the three Celestial Digimon later manifest from their Rookie forms and give the DigiDestined advice on how to deal with Lucemon, which helps to defeat him.

His Digi-Egg remains in 's care, who treats it as his own child,, though the Digi-Egg retains some of Seraphimon's divinity and immense powers, as it is able to grant first Koji Minamoto and then Takuya Kanbara the ability to fusion evolve. After Takuya manages to take back Seraphimon's data from Mercurymon and return it to his egg, the Digi-Egg hatches into Patamon. In his Patamon form, Seraphimon has a pink belt similar to Bokomon's, presumably because Bokomon also got hit by Seraphimon's Fractal Code when it returned to him.

Though Seraphimon reborn, Patamon is still a child and acts as such. He views as a parental figure  but also retains some of his divine strength, such as the ability to detect power.

Cherubimon
 is responsible for guiding the inhabitants of the Digital World through knowledge, as well as protecting the Spirits of Darkness, Earth, Wood, Water, and Steel. Cherubimon has great compassion for beast-type Digimon as he is one himself. He disagreed with Seraphimon and Ophanimon on many issues and eventually came to blame it on the same human and beast divide which tore apart their world before Lucemon. Seeing their attempts at reasoning with him as further collusion of the human-types against the beast-types, his heart opened to 's manipulations, turning him into his. Striking down Seraphimon and only sparing him due to Ophanimon's pleas, Cherubimon proceeds to implement a plan to gather the Digital World's fractal code through his agents and compress it in his castle.

For the most part content to simply work through his army, Cherubimon only begins to directly intervene when his control over his prized Warrior begins to weaken as his memory of his human self grows. When these weaknesses almost make Duskmon lose his battle against, Cherubimon directly attacks the Warrior of Light and steals away Duskmon. Now safe from reprisal, Cherubimon reminds Duskmon of his life as and the resentment he feels for, BeoWolfmon's human form and Koichi's twin brother whom he had forgotten after their parents divorced. That very anger and pain drew Cherubimon to Koichi, and Cherubimon reinforces it by giving him the B Spirit of Darkness and the ability to slide evolve into. Despite his efforts, Duskmon is eventually purified and returned to Koichi, free of his influence.

Disappointed by this turn of events, Cherubimon sends an image of himself to face the. Swatting away the others, he confronts Koichi, who argues that Cherubimon simply lied to and manipulated him. Cherubimon denies this claim, instead saying that he tried to find holders for the Spirits of Darkness but could only find Koichi's dark heart to use them. He offers to take Koichi again, but he refuses, and Cherubimon moves to attack. Koichi's acknowledgment that he needs neither fear nor evil anymore allows him to claim the now purified Spirits of Darkness, becoming and  to defeat this image. Cherubimon is impressed by Koichi's ability to unlock the true power of darkness and looks forward to meeting him in person.

The DigiDestined manage to infiltrate his castle at the Rose Morning Star, but it is all according to Cherubimon's plan.

Cherubimon is too corrupted to be healed though, so Ophanimon takes the opportunity to steal the DigiDestined's D-Tectors and thus the Spirits back. Incensed by this, Cherubimon strikes down his former ally, but not before Ophanimon uses the last of her strength to give the DigiDestined the ability to unified spirit evolve. and Koji become and   and proceed to temporarily defeat him. While the DigiDestined are distracted by the release of, Cherubimon takes all of the fractal code he gathered and absorbs it. The data gives him prodigious size, strength, and regenerative ability but leaves him with a visible weak point: the spot on his forehead where he took in the power. By using MagnaGarurumon as a shield, EmperorGreymon is able to strike at his forehead, releasing the absorbed data and mortally wounding him. Purified by EmperorGreymon back into his good self, Cherubimon cries and then joins his old friends, finally back to himself.

At the Rose Morning Star, the DigiDestined manage to infiltrate Cherubimon's Castle and come face to face with their patron Digimon.
