Enter The Dark Masters

Enter The Dark Masters is the fourtieth episode of both Digimon Adventure and the Digimon anime series.

Summary
Through a telescope in the digiworld, the Dark Masters observe the events unfolding on Earth, preparing for the arrival of the DigiDestined. Meanwhile, the kids arrive to find the digiworld in darkness, and find Chuumon hiding in the tall grass nearby. He explains how he was seperated from his best friend Sukamon, and how the world was scrambled up into a single spot called Spiral Mountain, where the Dark Masters rule. Seconds later, one of the Dark Masters, MetalSeadramon, shows up. In their champion forms, the Digimon stand no chance against the mega Digimon, and are sent spiralling into an unfamiliar surrounding. There, Machinedramon, another Dark Master, attacks, and even in their ultimate forms, the Digimon are again beaten and sent to another location. Here, the next dark master, Puppetmon, makes the Digimon fight eachother before de-digivolving them and sending them to an outdoor arena in the desert. Piedmon, leader of the Dark Masters, turns up and defeats Agumon and Gabumon in their mega forms, WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon. He then decides to take each child out one by one, starting with Mimi, but Chuumon takes the shot blow and gets deleted. All hope seems lost, until Piximon whisks the kids to safety in his invisible bubble, before creating a distraction for the Dark Masters.
