Synopsis
MetalGarurumon returns to fight alongside WarGreymon. Both Mega Digimon seem to have the upper-hand against Piedmon until he turns them, Tai and Matt into key chains. The other children try to run away but they are all turned into key chains except T.K., Kari, and Patamon. When the three of them try to escape up a rope, Piedmon catches up to them. Patamon digivolves into Angemon to try to fight Piedmon, but is easily defeated. Piedmon then cuts the rope, causing T.K. and Kari to fall, and as they fall, T.K. looks at his brother, in the form of a key chain, and is reminded that hope that remains. His crest begins to glow, and Angemon digivolves into MagnaAngemon, who slashes at Piedmon from above, causing him to fall, seemingly, to his death. MagnaAngemon then returns every key chain into the Digimon and people they once were. They think it's all over until Piedmon resurfaces with hundreds of Vilemon. Just then, Mimi and Lillymon arrive with an army of Digimon, and they all fight back against the Vilemon. MagnaAngemon opens his Gate of Destiny which sucks in all the Vilemon, and WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon send Piedmon in as well, defeating him for good. As light begins to return to the world, Izzy gets a message from Gennai telling them that the Dark Masters were never the real enemy. Just then, the ground shakes and the DigiDestined soon realise that the fight is not over.

Dubbing changes

 * When Angemon digivolves to MagnaAngemon in the English dub, the words "warp digivolve" can be heard, implying that he is moving up by more than one level, when in actuality, Angemon is only moving from Champion to Ultimate.

Real-world references

 * Piedmon comments on the Vilemon, saying "This is more fun than a barrel of flying monkeys!". Another reference in the series to the film The Wizard of Oz.

Miscellaneous trivia

 * MagnaAngemon announces the episode title in the Japanese episode.
 * By the end of this episode, all the kids' Digimon are in their fully digivolved forms.
