Digimon World: Next Order
tells the that something strange, likely a Digimon from another World, had been picked up in Mod Cape. They are sent to investigate, assuming that it is, as the tamer had already befriended her in the past. Upon arrival to Mod Cape, the BlackAgumon that usually roam on the ship are all knocked out. The tamer is able to wake them up, though they have no memory as to why they had been knocked out, or even as to why they are on the ship, showing thy all have amnesia. Once an antivirus is used on them they remember that they saw a strange looking Digimon, covered in a black aura and that upon seeing her, they all "started to feel fuzzy" and then blacked out. After helping the BlackAgumons, the tamer is sent a message that the signal had now been picked at in the Infinite Cauldron. Once there, the tamer finds a ShadowWereGarurumon, who had been defeated in less than 10 seconds. Once the tamer offers to help heal him though, he suddenly is cloaked in a purple aura and attacks the tamer's partners. After defeating the WereGarurumon, the tamer uses an anti virus on him which causes him to regain control of himself, then explains that a strange looking orange fuzzy Digimon covered in a black aura appeared, which caused him to feel fuzzy and he attacked it in self defence, only to be quickly defeated.

The Hero is sent to Server Desert next where is found, currently in the process of fighting and infecting Yukimura and Rikka. When Yukimura attacks Meicrackmon, Meicrackmon yells out that she will not forgive White Fang and teleports away. Luckily though, Yukimura had managed to gain a small amount of the black aura. When Luche touches it, the aura is destroyed, showing that Luche is immune to it and is able to neutralise it. They come up with a plan for Shoma Tsuzuki and Noir distract it, whilst Luche applies an anti virus made out of her DNA and whilst the aura is being neutralised, the Hero's partners swoop in to defeat her. The group finds Meicrackmon in the same place that Meicoomon had originally been found. The plan works and after being defeated, Meicrackmon regains control and realises she is back in the Next Order Universe, as it was not her first time there. The "White Fang" intended to use Meicoomon for evil, so captured her and Meiko Mochizuki, her partner, fell into a trap on purpose allowing her to escape. When Meicoomon tried to free her, the White Fang used a machine that caused her to digivolve and then cross dimensions, with the shock of dimension hopping causing her to suffer from amnesia, causing her to lose control and attack everyone she came across. Luche's DNA causes Meicoomon to be cured of the Infection. Meicoomon then returns to the Adventure Universe, using the power of her bond with Meiko and then frees her from the White Fang.
