 * The correct title of this article is Digimon Origins #1: The Event. The substitution or omission of the # is because of technical restrictions.

Digimon Origins #1: The Event is a fanon anime film idea created by CAJH. It is the first prequel film and the ninth installment of the fanfictional media franchise idea known as the Digiversum. The story of the film is completely original, inspired by few aspects from known Digimon mythologies. The film was announced in August 7, 2016 and its synopsis was released in January 12, 2017. The sequel, Digimon Origins #2: The Avatar, was released in June 14, 2017.

Almost twenty years before humans stepped into the Digiversum for the first time, the world was rapidly changing. For several decades, it had started to change from a paradise into a place where good and evil were constantly clashing. A Digimon named Lucemon has kept watch over his own world and the human world for a long time in order to make a judgement whether the worlds must be saved or destroyed.

Synopsis
(Only the most important details of the plot are written in here, minor details can be imagined by readers themselves. The same thing goes for any possible quotes from the dialogue.)

History of computers and cyberspace
The voice of Sadaharu Deguchi is heard like he would tell the story of the past to the Tamers in present time. First he told how ENIAC, the electric machine was meant to solve several numerical problems. After all, the binary number system was used for programming of the modern computers people in the world know today. Another thing Sadaharu told about was how there were beliefs about the existence of multiverse and theories of what cyberspace would look like if it was a world humans would be able to visit. 24 years ago the humanity found out the first part of the truth, but only few remember that anymore. The only thing they surely remember is that something terrible happened in that world and the evil behind that was more malicious anyone could have ever imagined.

Two observers
Lucemon was highest-ranking angelic Digimon of the entire Digiversum and lives in the temple that resides at the top of Yggdrasill's body and stays in contact with him while using a portal as a window to the real world. Yggdrasill had warned Lucemon and members of the other ruling bodies from ever talking about humans to anyone else, claiming that it will destroy the peace they had built into the Digiversum ever since it started to exist. However, for decades, it was suspected that the Digital Middle World, where Yggdrasill itself resides, had already been corrupted by some force or someone, because there started to appear some negative personality traits among the Digimon as well as some Digimon species that were purely evil. Lucemon, however, kept watching the window into the real world and compared the current situation of the Digiversum into the real world itself. He talked how the collective unconsciousness of mankind itself is what created the Digital Middle World, once simply called the Digital World, and how newest technology had allowed it expand into other places in cyberspace and become like a universe hidden inside computer network.

In Japan, Akihiro Kurata, a man who worked for Digicon International Enterprises had found out the existence of the Digiversum and saw almost everything that had happened in there. After reading news about several crises around the world like the recession of the early 1990s as well as terrorism in South Asia, he had been very serious and withdrawn person. He was still able to maintain a belief that the world still had hope. And because computers and World Wide Web had made the world much smaller place that had brought people from different countries closer, he believed that he did the right choice to take a job from Digicon all those years ago.

The situation in Colony F
There was an important event coming into Colony F, one of the colonies of the Digiversum. It was going to become an independent world just like the Kingdom of DigiElDorado or the Spirit Frontier and its Governor was about to crowned as its first King. A powerful group of Digimon was tasked to forge a crown, overseen by an angelic Digimon named Gabrielmon. Two of these Digimon working under Gabrielmon are Alphamon and Omegamon, two highest-ranking members of the Guardian Knights. Guardian Knights were a group of powerful knight-like Digimon tasked to ensure the security in very important matters regarding the Digiversum, like ensuring that the Governor will be safe from any harm, now that the Digital Middle World was already suffering from attacks done by evil Digimon.

The Code Crown was meant to contain data from everywhere in the colony which seemed to be separated in dozens of zones. The Crown was meant to be completed in four days, because that's when the coronation was meant to happen. Alphamon felt that something wasn't right despite everything going smoothly. Colony F would be a significant target for the same evil Digimon behind the attacks done in the Digital Middle World, even though Gabrielmon dismissed such possibilities. But they would need proof as well as Gabrielmon's permission to report about this to Lucemon or his servants, the Three Archangels. But then, Omegamon told him that they have a chance to do it the other way. Apollomon, member of the Olympos XII, was coming to visit the place. Olympos XII was the lowest of three ruling bodies of the Digiversum and its members kept watch over different worlds of the Digiversum. The Five Holy Beasts were guardians of balance between the Digital Middle World and the other worlds. The highest ruling body was formed by Lucemon and the Three Archangels who were the protecting Yggdrasill in the Digital Middle World while lesser angels did the same on other worlds. Alphamon wasn't really a team player in the group of Guardian Knights and didn't like bureaucracy, but if they could find something suspicious from Colony F and present it safely to Apollomon, Alphamon wouldn't need to go rogue.

Ronald Yeoman's arrival
Two days later, a new worker from American branch of Digicon had been transferred into the Tokyo office to work under Kurata. The name of the worker was Ronald Yeoman. He had very good recommendations and Kurata had heard that this man wants to be useful to the society as much as he does. Kurata presented Yeoman to the others employees working under his supervision, like Sadaharu Deguchi. Deguchi and Yeoman were pleased to meet each other, but Rieko Hirasawa, one of Kurata's own colleagues, wanted wo know why an American person had been sent into the main office of the entire company. Kurata said that this was something Mr. Matsumura, the founder of the company, had already agreed with. Hirasawa asked to talk with Matsumura, but Kurata told her to concentrate on her own responsibilities.

Hirasawa knew she couldn't just go to talk with Matsumura, so she had to find information somewhere else. She decided to ask from an old acquaintance of hers: Rob McCoy. McCoy was now a teacher in California State University, but was regularly in contact with his old friends who were board members of Digicon, including Matsumura himself. Hirasawa decided to ask if McCoy could ask information from both Matsumura and the president American branch.

Meanwhile, Yeoman had become well acquainted with Sadaharu. The two talked about how each of them was originally hired into the company. Yeoman told how he had waited a chance to travel into Japan for a long time and was allowed to do so thanks to Kurata. Yeoman had no love in his life, while Sadaharu had been dating a woman named Mari for a couple of years, waiting for a proper moment to propose her. Yeoman simply told him to stop waiting and make the best of every good thing he had in life. But then, Hirasawa asked to talk with Sadaharu privately about something.

Attacks around the Digital Middle World
In the Digital Middle World, Lucemon met with the Three Archangels: Seraphimon, Ophanimon and Cherubimon. The Archangels had heard several Digimon praying before their deaths, and had discovered that a powerful Demon Lord Digimon named Abaddomon was behind the attacks. They needed to protect the villages and cities so the Digimon would be safe while the Guardian Knights and other protectors would be sent to face Abaddomon and discover the truth about "the Fall of Digimon" which was discovered to be the reason why evil existed in the Digiversum. At that moment, Abaddomon was seen in the Server Continent in the west. When everyone had left, Lucemon kept using Yggdrasill to open windows to watch the real world again. He felt how the Digiversum was now more like the real world because they both now had something that was called "sin".

Abaddomon had chosen a group of most despised and frightful Digimon to be under his command, along with several demonic Digimon created by corrupting angelic Digimon who originally served the Archangels. Those include several PicoDevimon, Bakemon, Devidramon, Devimon, Phantomon, LadyDevimon, SkullSatamon and NeoDevimon. While his minions slayed many innocent Digimon, Abaddomon was searching for a root of Yggdrasill with strong connection to other worlds of the Digiversum. When attempts to do that, two Guardian Knights named Dukemon and Craniummon arrive and destroy some of the evil Digimon. Abaddomon summons some of his Alpha Crickets, a cricket-like giant puppets to fight his opponents. Dukemon warns Craniummon to be careful, but Craniummon is determined to end Abaddomon's plans once and for all. Abaddomon, however, is far more powerful than Craniummon and starts to severely beaten him. Finally, he ends Craniummon's life and Dukemon is left all alone. But then, a group of Angemon, Cupidmon and Angewomon fend off some of the Alpha Crickets. They are followed by Leomon, the protector of the villagers of the File Island. Abaddomon, however, managed to escape through the portal into another place on the Digital Middle World.

Dukemon reminded Leomon that he was not meant to leave the File Island unless he was ordered to do so. Leomon said that he was allowed by Yggdrasill itself to use a portal to send a message: more powerful evil Digimon than Abaddomon had sighted on the File Island. Dukemon promised to ask some of the other Guardian Knights to came and hear the full story. He also warned Leomon not to tell anyone in the Digital Middle World that Abaddomon had somehow learned to open portals to other worlds in the Digiversum.

Disturbances in Digicon
On next day in Japan, certain computer screens in Digicon office started to act strangely. Sadaharu, Yeoman, Hirasawa and Kurata saw it. Kurata wondered what happening in that world while others were completely surprised of a phenomenon like this since they didn't know about the existence of the Digiversum. Kurata, however, didn't want anyone to know about his secret so he came out of his office and acted like he was surprised about this as well. Everyone tried to check the network connections and other electronics of the building, but there were no signs for any normal electrical disturbances. Soon, the disturbances ended and everyone wondered what was this all about. Some people had seen images from places which seemed to be like from movies or children books. But there were also glimpses of several different creatures. The system seemed not be hacked by anyone, because the files and programs seemed to be working normally again. Mr. Matsumura arranged a meeting about this occurrence to be hold very soon.

But no human knew that the disturbances were actually caused when several minions of Abaddomon had crossed through other portals opened by him and reached the other worlds of the Digiversum. Their first attempt had failed, but now they had succeeded. Abaddomon then saw through one portal into the real world, seeing humans for the first time. He promised to unknown entities he was communicating with telepathically that he had found a weakest link of mankind. The entities themselves were ready to show themselves for other Digimon who had only heard legends and stories about them that they actually do exist.

Meeting in DigiElDorado
Dukemon had arrived into the Holy City, the capital of the Kingdom of DigiElDorado. The city was located on a back of ElDoradimon, a giant turtle-like Digimon who was the first Digimon set its foot into that world. That is why the world was named after him. Many wanted to reach that place because of the paradise it was told to be and other because of finding gold, just like humans had once believed in a mythical city of gold known as El Dorado. Dukemon was greeted by HolyAngemon, the high priest of the city, and a fellow Guardian Knight UlforceVeedramon. They had just heard how a couple of evil Digimon under Abaddomon's command had managed to break their way into Colony F. The time was very bad because the Code Crown was finally completed and the coronation of the first King was tomorrow.

Later, Omegamon, Alphamon and Apollomon attended the meeting as well. Apollomon had already heard about the suspicions the two highest-ranking Guardian Knights had about the safety of the coronation and the Governor. He had also reported about this to Jupitermon, leader of the Olympos XII, but all members of his group were meant to maintain the position of neutrality in any world outside of their home world Iliad, unless they are truly needed. The Knights were already aware that Abaddomon's forces didn't go into Colony F himself and none of the Digimon who managed to reach that place were as high-ranking as him. Someone in Colony F must be a traitor. HolyAngemon had somehow been unable to contact the Archangels or the Five Holy Beasts. UlforceVeedramon had found a mysterious prophecy. It was written with DigiLetters, but the language was Ancient Greek. It talked about a mysterious Digi-Egg which would soon bring forth a new age. Several Digimon around the DigiElDorado already knew about it and they were excited, but UlforceVeedramon and HolyAngemon wanted to do more research about the prophecy.

Apollomon had to leave the meeting, because he was meant to oversee the coronation. Omegamon and Alphamon were expected to be there as well, but they first warned their comrades to ensure that they would meet again once Yggdrasill or its servants would answer to their prayers. Dukemon had decided to go to visit the Spirit Frontier in order to tell the Ten Ancient Warriors and two other Guardian Knights Dynasmon and LordKnightmon so they could be prepared for it as well. He would also check how many Guardian Knights were still alive.

The failed coronation
On next day, the coronation was finally about to take place in Colony F. The first King would also be the one to decide the new name for the world once it becomes independent. The identity of this King wasn't known by anyone but he was said to have incredible determination and wisdom to take care of the entire world. But then, an explosion happened. Apollomon was hurt by the explosion and later it was revealed that the King had died as well. Then, Gabrielmon approached Apollomon and touched his forehead. Apollomon felt great pain in his head and his body turned from red into blue. Apollomon then became corrupted and evil. Gabrielmon revealed that he had joined forces with Abaddomon and was behind the explosion. He tried to take the Code Crown, but Omegamon and Alphamon managed to do that before him, refusing to acknowledge Gabrielmon as the new King.

When Omegamon touched the crown, he felt how the King had left a message into the crown even though it had not been put into his head yet. He said how Yggdrasill would give them the answer they would need to defeat Abaddomon. Alphamon felt skeptical about this and didn't believe in Yggdrasill as much as he once did, since even the Archangels couldn't hear their praying anymore. Omegamon, however, was determined to find a way to save the Digiversum by any means necessary. The two highest-ranking Guardian Knights went their separate ways.

Omegamon's fate
Omegamon had returned into the Digital Middle World and he started to touch one of Yggdrasill's roots hoping to get the answer he had been waiting for. He then started to see a terrible truth: Gabrielmon was not the only traitor. There was even greater being who had betrayed Yggdrasill. Yggdrasill already knew it and showed images that the balance between the worlds had already become unstable. Despite Yggdrasill's efforts, evil had already found a permanent place in the Digiversum, any war against evil war meant to be eternal. Evil can't be completely eliminated, but goodness is also meant to remain forever. The seven greatest evil beings were about to reveal themselves not to be only a legend anymore. But there was still hope: the Digimon should one day ask help from humans.

Omegamon also knew what would very likely happen to most of his comrades and masters. He took the Code Crown and used his sword to shatter it in several pieces, sending all of them back into Colony F. Then he touched two Digi-Eggs and relinquished some of his power Omega inForce on them. He started to feel weaker, but he still had one other purpose. He crafted a golden memory card, transforming it into an object containing the remaining part of his Omega inForce he had left. Once he had no power left for himself anymore, his body started to dissipate. With his last strength he threw the card through a portal into Colony F. He had already accepted his fate, but as long as his powers would keep on existing on another form, he could continue protecting the Digiversum. After Omegamon had finally died, the two Digi-Eggs were found by Elecmon who took them into a Shrine of Rebirth.

The conspiracy is revealed
Alphamon, UlforceVeedramon and Dukemon felt the death of their comrades through their own personal powers. This was also felt by Dynasmon and LordKnightmon, two Guardian Knights two resided in the Spirit Frontier. The strongest one of them all was no longer with them. Alphamon thought that maybe Omegamon finally realized that Yggdrasill and the Archangels no longer listen to them. UlforceVeedramon and Dukemon refused to lose their hope and decided to go into Yggdrasill's body to find out what this was all about. Alphamon stayed behind, because he didn't know what to do anymore.

In Yggdrasill's main body, Lucemon kept watching everything that had happened in the real world and the Digiversum. He said how the only difference between humans and the Digimon was that the Digimon had evolved much further than humans. Humans still lived only on one planet and hadn't reached contact with the other life forms that might exist in the real universe. The Digimon instead had found other planets and expanded their original empire from the Digital Middle World much further than one planet. Lucemon himself had a vision of world much larger than that and thought himself as the most superior Digimon. He didn't care about all what happened for the rest of the Digimon, saying that the Digimon were meant to be both good and evil, just like humans. Yggdrasill tried to show him visions what he would cause, but he still didn't feel any pity. It was at that moment, when Yggdrasill managed to send vision about this to every Guardian Knight who was still alive. They all touched Yggdrasill's roots and sensed how members of the Olympos XII, the Holy Beasts and the Archangels were now aware of the terrible truth: the highest-ranking servant of Yggdrasill was actually the true leader of all evil Digimon.

The World Wide Web in crisis
In Japan, Mr. Matsumura had just ended his board meeting and the regular workers were soon informed about his decisions. The mysterious event had not been detected outside of Digicon. Hirasawa and Kurata had been told to work together on their own departments to determine the cause of this all. Sadaharu, Yeoman and several other workers were told to join the investigation. The cause had to be determined as soon as possible, because they didn't know whether it would happen again or not. The board was also concerned about the production. But then, Hirasawa and Kurata were told to come into Matsumura's office once again. They had just heard a word that similar disturbance started to happen outside of Japan as well. And not just in Digicon offices but in computer networks of many other kinds of places as well: internet cafés, research facilities and hospitals. The problem no longer concerned just Digicon office and its own computer network, but the entire World Wide Web and therefore all mankind. Kurata secretly pondered what was happening in the Digiversum.

The revelation of the Deadly Sins
In the middle of the Net Ocean, the large ocean surrounding the continents of the Digital Middle World, something very large was rising to the surface. It was a large red crocodile-like sea monster. Storms start surrounding it, making other Digimon on the ocean swim away in panic. It starts to swim towards the coast, willing take away the happiness from any Digimon at the top. On the top of an unknown mountain, two angelic Digimon resembling Seraphimon and Ophanimon make their full transformations into much more demonic forms. Then the male demon came out of the mountain, unleashing firestorms everywhere it was flying. The female demon simply kills Digimon by either tempting their feelings or corroding them with her touch. A large sleeping demonic Digimon starts to levitate and its snoring causes powerful blows of wind, even killing some Digimon in the process. A bearded demon with a staff and robes appears to steal any valuable items of the Digital Middle World and manipulate some Digimon forces with him and the other evil Digimon. A motorist-like Digimon is seen driving a gigantic motorcycle, but it doesn't seem to be hurting any Digimon just yet until it meets an unknown powerful Digimon, willing to challenge it into a duel.

Alphamon and Dukemon are keeping eye on those Abaddomon's forces and are trying to figure out how Omegamon died. While Alphamon doesn't know what really happened to Omegamo, Dukemon is unwilling to let the evil win. UlforceVeedramon prepares to protect the Holy City while HolyAngemon and few other Digimon are about to finish their work, forging mysterious tag-like objects. Dynasmon and LordKnightmon are standing with the Ancient Warriors who are preparing for any possible attacks into their worlds. They were created years ago to ensure that Human and Beast Digimon would no fight again each other, but now the peace of the Spirit Frontier was threatened by Digimon who were purely evil. Then all of the Guardian Knights get a distress call from the Archangels to join into their journey at Yggdrasill's body. UlforceVeedramon is unwilling to leave, but HolyAngemon reminds that the Archangels should not be questioned. Dynasmon and LordKnightmon leave the Ancient Warriors to take care of the Spirit Frontier.

At the top of Yggdrasill's body, Lucemon is confronted by the Archangels. They are aware how the six other embodiments of the seven deadly sins were born. The sea monster, the sleeping beast, the bearded demon and the motorist were born as embodiments of the sins of envy, sloth, greed and gluttony, as a combination of data and selfish desires of human hearts. They had then slowly evolve into their most powerful forms that now threatened the Digiversum. The others were originally predecessors of Serpahimon and Ophanimon, until Yggdrasill had exiled them, realizing that there were visible signs of the sins of wrath and lust caused by 'the Fall of Digimon'. But the true cause of the Fall of Digimon had stayed hidden very long time. Lucemon had never been a normal Digimon, but rather with an ability to hide his true nature even from Yggdrasill itself. And when Yggdrasill finally realized how the knowledge of the real world had made Lucemon arrogant and power-hungry, causing him to become one with the sin of pride. Lucemon simply said he urged the Digimon to embrace their inner desires, the same energy that made him what he was and the energies that created the other Great Demon Lords of the Deadly Sins had existed even before them. And like the sins existed in the real world, Lucemon said how they should exist in the Digiversum as well. Living bad lives, weak-minded Digimon would end up suffering forever. But that was exactly what Lucemon wanted. He had started to like seeing any inferior beings suffering.

Battle of Yggdrasill
Alphamon, Dukemon, UlforceVeedramon, Dynasmon and LordKnightmon were joined in the fight by Magnamon and Sleipmon who were the only surviving Guardian Knights alongside them. Four had been killed while the thirteenth one had mysteriously disappeared. Dukemon had witnessed Craniummon's death himself and he also remembered how he and couple of other Knights witnessed the fall of the Dramon Palace and Examon. Deaths of Duftmon and Gankoomon were simply sensed rather than witnessed, but the thirteenth Guardian Knight whose identity wasn't very known had simply disappeared. Soon, the living members of the Guardian Knights faced Abaddomon who led his forces to battle against them.

Seraphimon, Ophanimon and Cherubimon started to fight against Lucemon. Lucemon was a Rookie Level Digimon, but his powers were even to that of a Mega Level Digimon. After fighting for a while, they ended up into the ground where the Guardian Knights were already fighting. Abaddomon started to laugh, asking how they felt that Lucemon had been behind everything. This infuriated the Knights, but then Lucemon shattered a fragment from Yggdrasill's root and told Abaddomon to use it for what it meant to. Abaddomon used it to open portals to DigiElDorado, Spirit Frontier, Colony F and few other worlds of the Digiversum. Lucemon declared how the entire Digiversum be infested by the sins and started to release his true darker powers. Yggdrasill, however, then released an immensely powerful light. Alphamon, UlforceVeedramon, Dukemon and the others finally understood why Omegamon gave up his life.

Legacy of the heroes
The Guardian Knights were then through the portals to take care of the other Great Demon Lords. Dynasmon, Sleipmon and LordKnightmon stayed to fight against Abaddomon. UlforceVeedramon went into battle against Demon, the Great Demon Lord of Wrath who had found its way into DigiElDorado. Dukemon faced Beelzemon, the Great Demon Lord of Gluttony, who was still searching for a worthy opponent. Leviamon and Lilithmon, the Great Demon Lords of Envy and Lust, had made their way to Colony F and Apollomon, still brainwashed, was assisting them in causing destruction. Belphemon, the Great Demon Lord of Sloth, tried to levitate himself into a portal that would lead into the real world while Barbamon, the Great Demon Lord of Greed, was hiding its treasures into a large pit he had made his minions to dig. He also tried to infect Yggdrasill's roots with dark powers to ensure that even the Archangels couldn't close them. Everything that could be watched from the portal was seen by Digicon employees through visions shown in computer screens.

The Archangels knew that Lucemon had already put himself into a position where he can't completely defeated. They can't close the portals without damaging Yggdrasill's roots and therefore preventing portals working with full power. But they could open portals into the Dark Area, a void between the Digiversum and cyberspace. That is where the power responsible of the existence of evil was coming from. Lucemon, however, was prepared for this. He had already created a method that would allow him to return one day. He created a large dragon-like entity made of dark energy. Dynasmon tried to attack it, but was immediately destroyed by it. The Guardian Knights were already aware that it would lead into a catastrophic event they wouldn't survive. But they could leave their powers behind to help humans who could come to help the Digimon like Omegamon wished. Alphamon, Sleipmon, Magnamon and LordKnightmon left the place and traveled into the File Island to find Digi-Eggs where to leave some of their powers behind, just like Omegamon did. They should find the unchallenged Great Demon Lords and force them through the portals into the Dark Area while Yggdrasill and the Archangels would send an energy wave of holy power to weaken their opponents.

Sleipmon faced Belphemon and prevented him from reaching the portal into the real world. Alphamon and Magnamon arrived to face Leviamon and Lilithmon while LordKnightmon found its way to Barbamon. When everyone was in their place, the Archangels sent the energy wave. It reached the real world as well as where Sadaharu, Yeoman and Hirasawa heard the Archangels' voice. They said how the images on the computers were indeed from another world and its fate would now be tied with the real world. They wouldn't remember this message after what happens next and those who don't hear the voice won't remember the phenomenon anymore and therefore are oblivious to the existence of the Digiversum. But unconsciously Hirasawa, Sadaharu and Yeoman would know that they would need to explore that world somehow. However, Barbamon's infection secretly caused Kurata to hear the message as well.

The Dark Wave
After the Great Demon Lords had been driven away, all of the Guardian Knights, except for UlforceVeedramon, returned to the Digital Middle World where their bodies dissipated and the remainder of their powers lived inside Digi-Eggs. Lucemon was on his own against the Archangels and he knew that even though he would end up into the Dark Area with the other Great Demon Lords. However, he swore that he would leave something behind and used the entity to make a brief connection to the other Great Demon Lords and six disks with their respective Crests were sent into the places where they had been originally driven off. After Lucemon was driven off into the Dark Area, the entity he had created started pulsing. The Archangels knew they couldn’t save Yggdrasill's body, but Yggdrasill had already ensured a way to preserve some of its power and launched a mysterious ball of light into cyberspace. The Archangels knew that the Five Holy Beasts would survive by remaining in deep sleep during this all while members of the Olympos XII, except for Apollomon, had retreated into Iliad. Abaddomon knew what was about to happen and retreated into Barbamon's pit.

Apollomon, who tried to resist his brainwashing, wanted to prevent anything from happening to Colony F. He used his powers shatter some of Yggdrasill's roots so that Colony F can't be reached from any other worlds of the Digiversum. Gabrielmon then strengthened his brainwashing, making Apollomon a loyal servant. The Ancient Warriors had defeated most of the evil Digimon in the Spirit Frontier and driven the remaining ones underground. The Archangels arrived and said that they would take refuge in there because they can no longer protect Yggdrasill. Thanks to their powers, they would very likely survive, but the Ancient Warriors would not. The remainder of the Warriors' power, however, could help restoring the portal connections when the time was right.

Yggdrasill had also warned the lesser protectors about the upcoming catastrophic event, including Leomon, Centauromon, Unimon, and the caretakers of the Shrines of Rebirth. Many Digimon tried to evacuate, but that was when it happened: the Dark Wave. It spread through the portals into several places on the Digiversum. Yggdrasill's main body was severely damaged and it stopped glowing, but the gigantic tree still stood.

Aftermath
After the wave was gone, most of the Digimon had died and the Shrines of Rebirths were so badly damaged that reincarnation was impossible for weaker Digimon. And the ground was filled with several craters filled with dark energy, forming the Dark Craters. The only members of the Ancient Warriors who had survived from the Dark Wave were AncientGreymon and AncientGarurumon, but their powers started to fade away as well. The Archangels transformed their bodies into twenty idol-like artifacts known as Spirits, ten Human Spirits and ten Beast Spirits. The Spirits can only be accessed by humans or the power of the Archangels. Seraphimon took the Spirits of Light and Air, Ophanimon took the Spirit of Fire, Thunder and Ice, and Cherubimon took the Spirits of Darkness, Earth, Wood, Water and Metal. However, unknown to Seraphimon and Ophanimon, Cherubimon had found the Crest of Pride left secretly sent into the Spirit Frontier by the Dark Wave and slowly started to become corrupted. In DigiElDorado, ElDodadimon had died from the Dark Wave, but his remains were lying on the ground. The V-Tags, the key method of restoring the portal connection were given to powerful representatives of different Digimon Families. Even the Nightmare Soldiers were allowed to have one, since they had no one to obey anymore. He then set out to find the mysterious Digi-Egg mentioned in the prophecy hoping to find out its true purpose.

In Colony F, Gabrielmon had lost parts of body from the explosion caused the destruction of the portal system. He had taken fragments of Yggdrasill's roots and used them to form himself a bunch of bone-like prosthesis. He also changed his name into Bagramon and woke up two Digimon he had created from the remains of his deceased angelic brothers and used his darkness to corrupt them. He said they would form an army to conquer this new world that Colony F had just become. Barbamon's pit had become the Dark Pit where Abaddomon decided to hide the crystal formed from a fragment of Yggdrasill's roots. He didn't bother to dig up the treasure that was hidden underground, but he reclaimed the Crest of Greed, wondering whether he could outsmart his masters the same way Lucemon outsmarted the Archangels.

In the real world, Hirasawa, Sadaharu, Yeoman and Kurata were the only ones who remembered the mysterious world they had seen through this mysterious phenomenon. They had heard how Professor McCoy and some his students had experienced the same thing in California. The university would make a deal with the American branch of the company while Hirasawa and Kurata led the secret research to explore this mysterious world. Kurata, however, had secretly lost his hope in humanity completely. If the Digiversum was as imperfect as the real world, he had no wish to accept them as they were. He had already received mysterious messages from Abaddomon and started to approach Yeoman with a plan to find a way to travel into that world. Hirasawa and Sadaharu were oblivious to that. Sadaharu had finally made his decision to marry Mari and ensure that his career will ensure a happy life for them both. Sadaharu's ending speech remarked how everything they faced 20 years later was started by this all. He didn't realize the true agenda of Yeoman and Kurata in time, but the past was past and they can still prepare for the future.

Post-credit scene
The mysterious ball of light sent by Yggdrasill had been floating in cyberspace for few years. Finally a portal opened and the ball found its way into Copenhagen, Denmark.

 * The first steps of the origin of the connection between Abaddomon, Kurata and Ronald Yeoman are explained.
 * The origins of V-Tags, Spirits, the Code Crown, and the OmegaMemory are explained.
 * Olympos XII and the Five Holy Beasts are only mentioned in the film, except for Apollomon.
 * Apollomon later appears in DigiFuse: The Omega Crusade.
 * This film includes the only full appearance of the Ten Ancient Warriors in the Digiversum.
 * Gabrielmon was chosen to be Bagramon's original name before his corruption due to etymologies of the real-life anime version.
 * The identity of the Governor who was meant to be crowned as the first King of the world that came to be the DigiFuse Zones was left anonymous, because Shoutmon's predecessor as the Digimon King in Digimon Fusion was never revealed either.
 * Unlike V-Tamer: 2nd Round, Spirit Frontier Decem and Digimon 3, this film has a post-credit scene rather than a mid-credit scene.
