Playing Games

MetalSeadramon is defeated, and the group enter the nearby forest, where the next Dark Master, Puppetmon, has prepared a little game for the kids.

Synopsis
WarGreymon escapes MetalSeadramon's grip when Whamon rams him. Whamon is then destroyed by MetalSeadramon, just before WarGreymon finishes him off by drilling through him. With the Dark Master destroyed, the ocean begins to reassemble itself, and the group decide what to do next. Tai is ready to move on, unaware that everybody else is coming to terms with the loss of some good Digimon allies. After a while, they head into the nearby forest, and into Puppetmon's territory. Shortly after entering Puppetmon's forest, Kari begins hearing a sound that apparently no one else can hear, though Tai just tells her to stay with the rest of the group. Puppetmon instantly begins dragging them to his mansion in the forest on a hidden conveyer belt, so the group hide in the trees. However, he splits them up using identical figurines on a special map. After he's done messing around with them, he approaches T.K. and Matt, who are without their Digimon. T.K. agrees to 'play' with Puppetmon so that Matt is spared, and after a game of hide-and-seek in Puppetmon's mansion, T.K. manages to trick him so he can explore his mansion a bit more. Meanwhile, Kiwimon, one of Puppetmon's servants, his holding up the others from rescuing T.K., but he is easily beaten by Sora's Digimon causing Matt to turn on Sora because T.K could have been found with Kiwimon.

When Puppetmon see's what happend, he vows he'll get revenge on T.K.
