Digimon ReArise
When Sara Shinkai was young, she spent a lot of time in the hospital and and very rarely left the bed and would try her best to pretend the pain and testing was normal however every time she bottled up her feelings and wanted to cry, the darkness in her heart grew and she eventually began to fear the World. One day, Tapirmon suddenly appeared before her and the two became friends – Tapirmon's friendship bringing color to Sara's dark world, as well as causing her to no longer feel the pain and sadness, and Tapirmon would eat any bad dreams she would have.

When Michi Shinjo and are running late for their shopping trip with Mayu Kohinata,, the , , , and  Michi accidentally runs into Sara Shinkai due to barely paying attention to what was in front of her. Michi panics about where her smartphone had landed though Sara passes it to her as it had landed next to her. As Salamon reminds Michi once again that they're late Michi hurriedly leaves after thanking Sara, both Michi and Salamon oblivious to the fact that Sara had not displayed shock to the fact that Salamon existed. Tapirmon points out that Michi was a Tamer, wondering if that was a good thing, though Sara doesn't mind as all she cared about was the fact she had Tapirmon.

Later that same day the duo are in the shopping Mall when a Digital Point opens up though Tapirmon is able to defeat one of the Kuwagamon that had been dragged in by the Spiral by digivolving to. The other Tamers had seen this happen and were shocked to see that Sara was a Tamer and after introducing themselves ask Sara to help them defeat the rest of the Insectoid Digimon however Sara refuses as she had other plans and leaves with Tapirmon.

Shortly afterwards fights the two,  and  as the Deva assumed the Humans were behind the constant Spiral attacks in the Digital World, they acknowledge that Chirinmon is strong. Just as the fighting ceases Machinedramon and charge into the battle and Machinedramon defeats the two Deva. assumes that Machinedramon was on a rampage and digivolves to and fights Machinedramon and Gaiomon. After Gaiomon, SaviorHuckmon, Bearmon, and their Tamers leave the battlefield Machinedramon attempts to kill the two Deva with its "Infinity Cannon" attack and Chirinmon attacks Machinedramon's Psycho Blasters in an attempt to redirect the attack somewhere else though is unable to do so and is instead blasted directly by the full force of the attack. Vajramon, shocked by the fact that Mayu and Chirinmon would save the two Deva, gives one of the DigiCores it was given by the to Chirinmon which causes it to digivolve to. Machinedramon tries to defeat Mitamamon however none of its attacks harm it as Mitamamon has no solid form. Mitamamon gives Machinedramon the option to surrender, which Machinedramon refuses, though it ends up surrendering anyway after suddenly receiving a message to surrender and retreat.

Later, Sara and Tapirmon arrive just as the Protagonist, Filmon, Michi, and Gatomon clear out a Digital Point leaving Sara disappointed as there were no Spiral left for her to fight. A few days later, when Michi is fighting in a Digital Point on her own, Sara and Monochromon help Michi and Gatomon clear it out. Michi talks Tapirmon into going around the City to find out the source of the rumour behind an Angel's shadow though all they find are more and more Digital Points to clear out. A day later, Sara finds Michi clearing out Digital Points on her own and helps Michi clear it, then helps her to find the source of the rumour. She, Michi, and Mon are able to stop Ophanimon and 's plan, gaining the Humans another Deva ally.

When Michi and Sara get stuck in a Digital Point in the library, they are attacked by. Sara is frozen in fear, though snaps out of it upon remembering when Tapirmon said it will always be with her. Megadramon and Angewomon defeat SkullSatamon, however it surprise attacks them once again after their partners de-digivolve to Rookie. This pisses off Sara, which causes Tapirmon to warp digivolve to and finish off SkullSatamon once and for all. This shocks Michi and Salamon, who were unaware that Tapirmon was actually Machinedramon. After the battle, of the  arrives and fights and defeats Machinedramon, then reveals that Sara is behind all the problems in the Digital World. Sara confirms this, summons a large group of Spiral to cause a distraction, has Tapirmon once again digivolve to Machinedramon, and attacks Leopardmon. Gaiomon arrives and joins Machinedramon but just as the two of them are about to defeat the Royal Knight, suddenly arrives and blocks their attacks. Sara and Takumi realise they wouldn't be able to take out two Royal Knights and escape through a gate to the Dark Area.

Having used a lot of her collected Spiral to escape, Sara and Tapirmon travel through Digital Points to replenish her stock by capturing them within an app on her smartphone. After collecting a large amount they hear a scream and travel to the source, where they see draining a woman of her blood though Matadormon leaves, stating the time was not yet right for them to meet. The scream also caught the attention of Michi and Salamon though Sara flees on the back of Megadramon to avoid having to talk to her. She later meets up with Takumi and tells him about Matadormon.

Sara and Tapirmon continue to collect Spirals, this time as Megadramon. Michi and Angewomon confront them about the many Humans falling into comas, as she thought Sara was behind it, though Sara states she isn't. When Sara realises how much time Michi had spent searching for her instead of studying she decides she cannot be friends with her any more, as she didn't want to get in the way of her studies, and has Megadramon digivolve to Machinedramon. Deciding that she is sick of Michi getting in her way she decides to murder Michi though Angewomon defends her partner. As Sara mocks Angewomon for being weak Angewomon suddenly becomes stronger and defeats Machinedramon, having unknowingly taken in dark energy from GranDracmon who was watching the fight and wanted Michi to win. Angewomon readies an attack to kill Machinedramon and though Michi tries to call it off, GranDracmon projects its thoughts into Michi's head and nearly convinces her to fall into the darkness of resentment and hatred. Michi is able to snap out of it however and calls off the attack, to the annoyance of GranDracmon. It ReArises in front of the two Tamers and once again asks Michi to join its collection, though she once again refuses. As it had already once nearly caused her to fall into the darkness, GranDracmon uses its "Eye of the Gorgon" on her and is this time able to cause her to succumb to it. Michi has Angewomon continue to attack Machinedramon until it de-digivolves to Tapirmon and falls unconscious, after which the trio leave – with Michi and Angewomon now GranDracmon's minions.

Megadramon
Megadramon is Tapirmon's Ultimate form.

When they track Ophanimon down they find the  in the Digital Point and ask for its help to stop Ophanimon, unaware that Caturamon was currently acting against the other Deva and had asked Ophanimon for help. Having learned that Michi and Sara wanted to stop Ophanimon it attacks them to stop them, leading Tapirmon to digivolve to Monochromon and then Megadramon to fight it alongside. As they fight, Caturamon eventually realises it is not strong enough to defeat Angewomon and Megadramon so decides instead to stall them long enough until Ophanimon had finished the plan.

Ophanimon suddenly arrives in the Digital Point however, with its rage now at maximum. Having decided that defeating the Spirals wasn't enough, Ophanimon decides that destroying the Human World would solve all their problems, as that is where the source of the Digital Points supposedly came from and Mode Changes to Ophanimon Fallen Mode. It proves too powerful for Angewomon and Megadramon to deal with though they are aided by the sudden arrival of and  who had managed to track them due to Keito Tamada's tracking device picking up Michi's signal. The three Ultimate Digimon fight Fallen Mode but still find themselves no match for it and Caturamon reveals in the middle of the fight that Ophanimon had been supressing the distortion using the power of the DigiCore but that it was too much for it to handle, which is why it had suddenly become Fallen Mode, as usually fighting a few enemies wouldn't be enough for it to become Fallen. Realising the error of its ways, Caturamon teams up with the Tamers and is able to take back the DigiCore after using the others as a distraction which is enough to restore Ophanimon to its senses. The duo apologise for what had happened, realising the other Deva were right all along and that the plan was too dangerous to use.

When Sara, Tapirmon, Michi, and Angewomon are stuck in a Digital Point in the Library, they are attacked by. As Angewomon fights back, Sara wallos in fear though eventually gains the courage to help Michi fight, which causes Tapirmon to digivolve to Monochromon and then Megadramon, after which the duo defeat SkullSatamon.

After collecting more Spiral to replace the ones they used up escaping last time, Sara and Tapirmon hear a scream and travel to the source, where they see draining a woman of her blood. Matadormon leaves, stating the time was not yet right for them to meet. The scream also caught the attention of Michi and Salamon though Sara has Tapirmon warp digivolve to Megadramon and flees on its back to avoid having to talk to her. A few days later they collect even more Spiral, with Tapirmon this time digivolving to Megadramon to fight them. Whilst collecting them they once again run into Sara and Angewomon. Michi confronts her about the many Humans falling into comas as she thought Sara was behind it, though Sara states she isn't. When Sara realises how much time Michi had spent searching for her instead of studying she decides she cannot be friends with her any more, as she didn't want to get in the way of her studies, and has Megadramon digivolve to Machinedramon.

Having ran away from the other Tamers, Sara and Tapirmon hide out at the library. A Digital point suddenly opens up, only to close itself seconds later and Tapirmon senses that the Digital Point had brought something dark. When they leave the library they see Michi and Angewomon trying to destroy the town, and so Tapirmon warp digivolves to Megadramon in an attempt to stop them – only for Megadramon to be easily defeated. Sara summons a large group of Spiral, creating a Digital Point, which causes the Protagonist and Rasenmon to find the group.
