Synopsis
The DigiDestined return to the Digital World trying to destory Control Spires and liberate helpless Digimon from the Digimon Emperor. In a metallic city, a team of Guardromon destroyed the portal back to the real world. Everyone but Kari and Gatomon made it back. Davis and TK decide they must go back to save her. Since there aren't any Control Spires in the area, Patamon naturally Digivolves to Angemon but is returned to Patamon while entering the city. They find Kari but Andromon attacks! Kari reminds him about their past adventures. This and Kari’s Digivice rids Andromon of his Dark Ring and he destroys the Control Spire.

Dubbing changes

 * Izzy says he has an online friend from America. The English dub introduces the idea that this friend is Willis from the third Digimon movie.


 * When Patamon digivolves to Angemon in the English dub, the words "digivolve into Ultimate" can be heard, but Angemon is actually a Champion-level digimon.

Digimon references

 * Izzy's reference to Willis (see above) is a reference to Digimon: The Movie (released soon after this episode was aired in English), in which Izzy and Willis are made out to know eachother.
