T.K.: Even though we had two megas on our side, Piedmon still couldn't be beaten. We tried to escape by using these trapeze things, and that was really scary, but not as scary as Piedmon turning everyone into keychains! Kari and I were in real trouble. But I stayed brave, just like Matt told me to. Angemon then became MagnaAngemon and saved us and fixed the others. Piedmon attacked again, but we all banished him into the Gate Of Destiny. Afterwards, Gennai said there was a really evil force out there, but I'm pretty sure I can face anything now!

Digimon Title Theme

Tai: Spiral Mountain is disintegrating! Watch out!

[The mountain dissolves, and the kids and their digimon are sent free-falling down a black hole, screaming.]

WarGreymon: Tai!

Garudamon: Sora!

MetalGarurumon: Matt!

Lillymon: Mimi!

[Suddenly, everyone stops short, suspended in the darkness, with what appear to be stars as far as the eye can see.]

Joe: Are we down?

WarGreymon: Tai, are you alright?

Tai: Yeah.

Izzy: Uh, this may be a stupid question, but how come we're not still falling? Huh?

[Izzy opens up his laptop to see an image of Gennai. Gennai: Greetings. I hope nobody needed a barf bag on the way down.]

Izzy: It's Gennai!

Tai: So you're the one who brought us down here!

Matt: What do you want? We already beat the dark masters.

Gennai: It's true that the evil of the dark masters was destroyed, but the source that created that evil still exists.

[The kids gasp in disbelief.]

Gennai: And that source came from the Wall Of Fire.

Joe: What's that?

Gennai: When I was searching through the Dino Ruins, I came across an ancient inscription. It told of a time long ago, when a strange being appeared from behind the wall of fire. It was angry. You would be too, if you lived with that kind of humidity. The mere existence of this being caused a warp in space and time was thrown completely out of whack. It threatened the collapse of the digital world, and even worse than that, my new wristwatch stopped working. The digimon knew they didn't have the strength to defeat this being, so the original digi-destined children were summoned from the real world, and together they defeated the evil. An image appears of five children standing in Primary Village with five digi-eggs, which hatch into rookies.

Tai: What? Then you mean....

Joe: That there were other kids just like us before we came along?

Sora: And we were summoned because something else came out from behind that wall of fire, didn't it? Huh. And that's the real enemy.

Gennai: That's correct, but unfortunately, that's just the good news. The bad news is, it also told of a great darkness that will blanket the enitre digital world.

Matt: A great darkness.... Huh.

Joe: Don't look now, but it's pretty dark.

Tai: So is this the enemy?


 * Gennai: In a way, yes. But I believe he has a form as well. I-have-faith-you-will-...
 * [Gennai's image crackles, blurs, and is lost.]
 * Tai: Wait! Gennai, come back! Oh great! How does he expect us to fight this thing when we don't even know what it is we're looking for?
 * Joe: Just my luck. The second I start enjoying my vacation, another monster tries to destroy the world.
 * Izzy: Sorry guys, but something tells me this isn't going to be like any other digimon we've ever run into.
 * Matt: Yeah, so what? The first digi-destined kids were able to defeat something like this. Well, then so will we!
 * Tai: Mmm hmmm!


 * Sora: Matt's right. We'll just have to find a way to do it!
 * T.K.: Mmm!
 * [A deep growling sigh rumbles through the darkness. The kids look around.]
 * Kari: What's that noise?
 * Mimi: Sounds like a moose.
 * Angewomon: Sounds to me like it's coming from every direction.
 * Tai: Me too! But what does it mean?
 * ??????????: I know who you are. You don't have the power to eliminate our sadness....
 * Sora: What?
 * Joe: Who's there?

[A giant black multi-sided shape appears, floating in the space before them.]
 * Izzy: I'll bet this has something to do with that digimon Gennai was talking about.
 * Tai: Either that or it's a giant cube puzzle.
 * [From each of the shape's many sides, a telescopic arm protrudes. From several of these arms, long chains appear with huge metal claws on the ends, which reach out menacingly toward the group. From the top arm, a shadowy torso emerges.]
 * Matt: What on earth is that thing?

DIGIMON ANALYZER: Apocalymon, a uknown Digimon. [The black creature laughs maniacally. On Earth, people are crowded around, looking up at the sky.Through a hole in the clouds, the people below can see Apocalymon.]

Mr. Kamiya: I better get a new flashlight. But what about- Ms. Kamiya: The kids!
 * [The parents watching below gasp as the children and their digimon come into view.]
 * Sora's mom: Sora!
 * Mimi's parents: Our Mimi!


 * Apocalymon: Are you repulsed by our appearance? Don't be afraid to hurt our feelings. They're

already hurt. You see, we are created from all that was lost during the digivolving process.
 * Izzy: What do you mean by lost?
 * Apocalymon: Digimon have been digivolving for many years now. Over and over again. But there were some who weren't up to the challenge and simply disappeared.
 * Izzy: That makes sense. Even on Earth, some species became extinct during the process of

evolution. In fact, the Tasmanian tiger wolf was one of those-
 * Apocalymon: Silence! Who's the one telling this story anyway?
 * Matt: Alright! Go ahead!
 * Apocalymon: First we have a question to ask. Do you believe that we are worthy of coexisting with you?
 * Izzy: Uh well, yeah, sure!
 * Apocalymon: Oh really? Even though we was forged from the pain and misery of all the ill-fated digimon who were erased from the Digital World?
 * Sora: You're entirely made up of grief and sorrow? How sad for you.
 * Apocalymon: Sure, rub it in. And now, digi-destined and digimon, long have we waited an eternity for this encounter.
 * WarGreymon: What?
 * MetalGarurumon: What do you mean?
 * Apocalymon: As we sat alone in this cold, miserable darkness, we watched all of you on the

other side, laughing and having fun in the light...AND IT'S NOT FAIR!
 * [Bolts of electricity shoot out toward the kids and the digimon, throwing them all backwards in space.]
 * Tai: Is everybody okay?
 * Matt: I think so.
 * Izzy: Yeah.
 * Sora: I'm okay, Tai.


 * Apocalymon: Do you think it's fair that we should have to live with all this agony? Why

should you get to laugh when we am forced to cry? Why do you get to taste the best life has to offer while all we do is choke on its leftovers? Answer me this! I WANT TO KNOW!
 * [Apocalymon proceeds to harm himself, bleeding data while the others with mixed expression.]

Mimi: Ahh, I can't take all this!
 * [Once Apocalymon ceases harming himself, his wounds heal.]
 * Apocalymon: None you don't deserve any of it! Not you, not everyone!
 * Izzy: Boy, this guy really holds a grudge.
 * Apocalymon: WE WILL PLUNGE ALL WORLDS INTO DARKNESS, SO WE'LL NEVER BE ALONE IN MISERY. AHAHAHA! THERE WILL BE NO LIGHT IN OUR NEW WORLD!
 * [Suddenly, one of the metal claws forms itself into the shape of MetalSeadramon's head and fires a blast of energy towards Kari.]
 * Tai: Kari!
 * [Angewomon flies in front of Kari, taking the full force of the blast in the back. Kari screams.]
 * Kari: Angewomon, no!
 * Apocalymon: We offer your our hand in friendship, and now we're gonna give you a love-tap!
 * [Another claw forms into the shape of Puppetmon that fires an attack at Mimi. Lillymon jumps in front of her just in time to take the attack.]
 * Apocalymon: Now embrace my justice!
 * [Another claw forms into the shape of Machinedramon, with Garudamon taking an attack intended for Sora.]
 * Izzy: Inconceivable! He's using all the attacks of the evil digimon we've defeated in the past!
 * Joe: You mean, we have to fight them all over again? This is the worst recurring nightmare I've ever been awake for!
 * Sora: Hey, we were able to beat them once!
 * Tai: Sora's right! We did beat them. And we can do it again!
 * T.K.: We just have to fight together as a team!
 * Kari and Angewomon: Mmm hmmm!
 * Matt: I agree. We've sacrificed too much to give up now.
 * Apocalymon: Now you shall know true despair. Reverse Digivolution!
 * [The waving metal claws shoot towards each of the digimon and grasp them in an unbreakable grip while glow. Within moments, the Digidestined Digimon are in their usual forms.]


 * Matt: They're reverted!?
 * T.K.: He changed them back so easily!
 * Patamon: I'm sorry, T.K.


 * T.K.: It's not your fault, Patamon. It's his!


 * Kari: Great. This time, we're finished.


 * Gatomon: You better lose that 'tude, Kari!


 * Gabumon: Just because we're at the rookie level doesn't mean we still can't fight!


 * Tentomon: We'd digivolve if we had the energy.


 * Joe: That's it! Start from scratch. You can digivolve again!


 * Gomamon: We'd have to eat something.


 * Palmon: Come to think of it, I am kind of hungry.


 * Agumon: Forget food. We have the power within us.


 * Gabumon: But we need your help.


 * [The kids all nod determinedly. Tai reaches for his digivice.]


 * Tai: Everybody get your crests ready!


 * Apocalymon: Touch of Evil!
 * [From one of the metal claws emerge several Devimon arms that rip the crests from the children's necks. Apocalymon laughs as the claws crush the precious items into data.]
 * Tai: Ah! Our crests and tags!
 * T.K.: He broke them all!
 * Sora: They won't be able to digivolve without them!
 * Apocalymon: We hope you learned your lesson. Now you shall drown in the depths of despair.


 * Joe: Isn't this usually the time when one of us comes up with a brilliant idea?
 * Mimi: I don't think anything can save us this time,
 * Joe! I'm afraid we're done for!
 * Biyomon: How can we fight Apocalymon without digivolving?
 * Izzy: There's no way! All the rookie digimon combined couldn't defeat an enemy who has the power of all the evil digimon from the past!
 * Tai: How can you be so sure? There's got to be a way somehow!
 * Matt: How did the original digi-destined kids defeat this enemy?

Apocalymon: We are bored with you. Fade forever into the data.

[The children begin dissolving into tiny bits of data, from the feet up.


 * Matt: What's this?
 * Izzy: Fascinating! Our bodies are being broken down into little bits of digital information!
 * Tai: Fascinating!?
 * Biyomon: Let's stay calm, everyone! Don't fall to pieces!
 * Agumon: Too late!

[The digimon are also dissolving, and the kids scream in fear as their heads are broken down into bits. Then they find themselves floating in an expanse of white, with ones and zeros flying by.]

Tai: Ah! Where are we?

Izzy: We're information now. This is where all digital information gathers. It's the world of data.

Mimi: Data? I'm too young to be dating!

Izzy: It's not the same.

Joe: Sometimes, too much information's a bad thing.

Kari: Can we get back?

Sora: I don't know, Kari. Nothing like this has ever happened to us before. I don't know what to do.

Tai: Is this it? Have we lost?

Matt: I'd say that's a pretty good conclusion. Agumon: Come on you guys, don't quit now!

Tai: Why not?

Gabumon: Look, we can't stop fighting now, just because of a little setback.

Biyomon: So what we're bits of information, we have no tags and crests, we can't digivolve and we're facing the most powerful enemy of all time, I don't see what the problem is.

Sora: Listen, Biyomon. You guys have a great attitude about this whole thing. But all the positive thinking in the world can't guarantee that we'll find a way to get back to our original forms.

Joe: I tried positive thinking once, and I was positive about one thing. I positively hated it.

Izzy: Speaking scientifically, we're the first humans to be digitally processed. Technically, we're pioneers. Like Marco Polo.

Tentomon: Oh, I know what he's famous for. Marco!

Agumon: Polo!

Tentomon: Marco!

Patamon: Polo!

Tentomon: Marco!

Biyomon: Polo!

Izzy: Huh?

Gabumon: In every battle, you're bound to face a number of unknowns.

Gomamon: Yeah, you didn't know how those other fights would turn out, but you fought them anyway, didn't you?

Joe: Yeah, that's right. We did fight. When I first got to the digital world, I was afraid of any little thing that moved. We faced all kinds of new monsters.

[In a flashback, Joe remembers being afraid of Bukamon when they first met, and the Kuwagamon that attacked them on their first day in the digital world. Then, the rainbow light came down from the sky and the digimon digivolved and beat Kuwagamon.]

Gomamon: But no matter who they threw at us, we always found the strength to beat the enemy. Regardless of how big it was, didn't we, Joe?

[Joe remmebers when T.K. almost drowned, then Joe jumped in the water to save him. Joe sank, but then his crest began to glow....]

Joe: That's right, we did. We worked together as a team. Even that time when we almost lost T.K. because he couldn't swim. Of course, I forgot that I couldn't swim, either.

Mimi: I remember times when all I wanted to do was break down and cry.

Palmon: But instead, you fought on with your new friends!

Mimi: Mmm hmm! I feel like I've become a stronger person since I met all of you. Like that time at the convention center when all those Bakemon were attacking. I didn't cry a single drop. Alright, maybe just one drop.

[Mimi remembers the confusion in the real world that day as the Bakemon and humans fought. Benath Mimi's pajamas, her crest began to glow.]

Patamon: Before I met you, T.K., I didn't think it mattered if I ever digivolved or not. But when Devimon went to grab you and got me, I knew it was my time to shine! I became Angemon for the first time and I've been flying high ever since!

[Devimon closes his hand, but finds that he has caught the little flying digimon instead of the child he was expecting. From the giant black fist, beams of light shoot out as Angemon is born.]

T.K: I learned something from you too, Patamon. I learned that sometimes, you have to fight for what you believe in.

[T.K. flashes back to when he was falling through the sky, Piedmon laughing in the background, as he held Matt's keychain in his hand. He listened to his brother's voice, and his crest began to glow.]

Biyomon: I want you to know you've changed my life in many ways, too, Sora.

Sora: Really?

Biyomon: Of course you have! After all, I've never had a best friend before. I would do anything for you. Like that time I took Myotismon's Crimson Lightning attack right in the chest. Talk about heartburn!

[The red flash of lightning hits Birdramon hard, and she falls from the sky. Sora runs after her, crest shining brightly.]

Tentomon: You know, Izzy, when I first met you, I thought you were just one of those computer geeks. But after I got to know you, I realized you are one of those computer geeks. And I'm glad you are! Because where would the rest of us be without you?

Izzy: Thanks, pal.

[Tentomon sniffs loudly.]

Tentomon: I promised myself I wouldn't cry.... Although I wanted to cry when I felt that asteroid belt tightening around my waist. But you and I took care of Vademon together!

[Kabuterimon is flying through a space littered with asteroids, when he is hit with one. Then, Kabuterimon digivolves.]

Gabumon: As for you, Matt-

Matt: You don't have to say anything, I know.

[A digimon is crushing Joe, who is wrapped in a long vine, as Matt and T.K. look on. Matt yells, and his crest glows beneath his shirt.]

Gabumon: There was that time when-

Matt: Yeah, that's right, I remember.

Gabumon: And then you and I-

Matt: I know.

Gabumon: Remember when we-

Matt: Didn't you hear me? I said, you don't have to say anything.


 * Agumon: You and I knew from the beginning that together we made an invincible team. Right, Tai?

[FLASHBACK: Tai and Agumon are at a fence, when Tai's crest glows. Tai and Greymon walk across a desert towards Etemon Chaos. Tai holds up his glowing crest as he runs toward it.]
 * Tai: You got that right. Of course, I probably could have taken care of Etemon without you, but it was nice having you around. You did get me out of a few jams.


 * Gatomon: We can't give up now, because if we do, what was the whole point of searching for Kari in the first place?
 * Kari: Gatomon...
 * Gatomon: I've waited my whole life to meet you and find my purpose. And that is to protect you, no matter what the cost. Whether that meant facing Myotismon's Grisly Wing attack, or facing the reality of losing Wizardmon. You know, I will always be there for you.

[FLASHBACK: Myotismon releases his attack of bats as the other kids and digimon watch in horror, but Wizardmon steps in front of them, and takes the blow, falling to the ground. Kari and Gatomon cry, devastated.]


 * Kari: Boy, if I had never met you, Gatomon....
 * Joe: And if I had never come to the digital world....
 * Mimi: And if none of us became friends in the first place....
 * Izzy: Then we wouldn't have become the people that we are today!
 * Matt: You're right! We never would have won all those battles without each other.
 * T.K.: I feel like I've grown up a lot!
 * Sora: I think we've all grown up in a lot of ways.
 * Tai: I've grown up too! I'm a much better fighter now!


 * [Back on Earth, the digi-destineds' families continue to watch Apocalymon through the black hole in the sky.]
 * Mr. Ishida: You can do it!
 * Shu: Come on! For Earth!
 * Sora's mom: We're so proud of you! No matter what happens!
 * Mr. Izumi: Give it your all!
 * [Throughout the world, people are watching the sky, and rooting for the kids.]
 * Tai: I don't know about you, but I'm not ready to quit yet!
 * Sora: I'm with you, Tai! I won't let this whole experience be for nothing!
 * Matt: Me neither. There is no way I'm about to let my friends down!
 * Izzy: And besides, there are still a lot of people counting on us down on Earth!
 * Mimi: Let's find a way!
 * Matt: Let's fight!
 * T.K.: We're ready!
 * Joe: It's gonna be pretty tough without our crests.
 * Kari: Crests or no crests, we're going to win!
 * [Beneath T.K.'s shirt, a form begins to glow.]

T.K: Ah! What? My heart!
 * [As the kids gasp, a glowing shape appears as well on the chests of Kari, Izzy, Mimi, Joe, Sora, Matt and Tai.]
 * Agumon: It's your crests! You don't need to carry them anymore because their power has been inside of you this whole time!
 * Tai: You mean like, in our hearts?
 * Izzy: Prodigious. That makes perfect sense. It's like my knowledge and Joe's sense of responsibility. If your special traits are within you, then you don't need your crest because your power will be within you as well!
 * Matt: You're wrong!
 * [Izzy, Sora and Mimi look up at Matt, startled.]
 * Matt: It wasn't the friendship inside of me that made my crest glow, Izzy. It was more than that. The friendship I felt from all of you gathered inside my heart, and that brought the power of my crest to life.
 * Tai: So each person's crest isn't powered by themselves. It's powered by the faith we have in each other.
 * Kari: Then the light inside of me is for everyone, and everyone's light is for me!
 * [Kari's crest shines, and Gatomon is surrounded in a familiar light. But instead of Matrix Digivolution...]
 * Gatomon: Gatomon warp digivolve to.... Ophanimon!
 * T.K.: And everyone's hopes are my hopes!
 * [T.K.'s crest shines as well, and Patamon is also bathed in light while following Gatomon's example.]
 * Patamon: Patamon warp digivolve to.... Seraphimon!
 * Izzy: Knowledge!
 * Tentomon: Tentomon digivolve to.... HerculesKabuterimon.
 * Mimi: Sincerity.
 * Palmon: Palmon warp digivolve to.... Rosemon!
 * Joe: Reliability!
 * Gomamon: Gomamon warp digivolve to.... Vikemon!
 * Sora: Mine's love!
 * Biyomon: Biyomon warp digivolve to....Hououmon!
 * Matt: Friendship!
 * Gabumon: Gabumon warp digivolve to.... MetalGarurumon!
 * Tai: Courage!
 * Agumon: Agumon warp digivolve to.... WarGreymon!
 * [The kids and their fully digivolved mega-level digimon reappear in the black space in front of Apocalymon.]
 * Izzy: We did it! We're back!
 * Apocalymon: What!
 * Tai: You're dealing with the new and improved digi-destined!
 * [The kids all raise their fists, ready for the fight of their lives.]
