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.)

Tadao's return
Tadao Deguchi was in coma, but his mind had experienced everything that had happened in the Digiversum during the last two years. An apparition of him had been wondering in the Digital Middle World and using the operational portals two check the situations of the DigiFuse Zones and the DigiQuartz as well. Then, suddenly, a small white portal opened. But before Tadao could even touch it, he found himself in the hospital bed, having woken up from his coma. Without a thought, he unplugged saline tubes and left the hospital. Alerted doctors started to search for him, but they didn't find him. The only thing that was left a portal that disappeared and a news report about the large distortion appearing above Earth.

Deciding what to do
Professor Jørgen Christensen has just finished telling the story of how he raised Eden, while the voice of Homeostasis had explained the villains' point of view of these events. Christensen admitted that he had only asked Sven Vestergaard's assistance to find a way to make Eden a normal human. But without Homeostasis or the Seed of Eden, whose embodiments Eden and Edenmon were, the Digiversum can't be restored to its former glory. The Tamers, Spirit Warriors and Generals, however, have one problem. The Great Demon Lords could easily cause another Dark Wave if they would go to restore Yggdrasill right away and Sven was still a little bit reluctant to allow Eden to give up her earthly life. After Homeostasis' physical form separated back into Eden and Edenmon, Eden said how this time she had started to regain some of her memories permanently. Yoko Deguchi and Kristin Vestergaard started to feel like they should rejuvenate the Digiversum, but not before the Great Demon Lords would be defeated. They had no time to wait because the distortion above the sky is already growing larger.

Alisha Jones decided to contact her informants that to call one more person to join them before the battle would begin. Keisuke Ishimura kept checking the information about every evil Digimon they knew were still alive. He luckily had got information about the Great Demon Lords themselves, but each of the Great Demon Lords was so powerful that even one Mega Level Digimon was no match for one such Digimon. Right now the only ones who can evolve to Mega Level are Agumon, Gabumon, Gaomon, Lalamon, Veedramon, Guilmon and Bearmon. Theo Robbins and Kaiji Komiyama needed to the Spirits of every other element so they could Spirit Evolve into EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon, but Gemma Illiano, Jonah Sheridan, Osip Ivankov and Kaiji's twin brother Kazuo weren't able to fight themselves. Michael "Mike" Hou, Christopher "Chris" White and Nene Amano and their own partners had ability to DigiFuse into a Digimon that could defeat a group of Digimon whose strength was about the same as Mega Level. Keisuke was also interested of DarknessBagramon's arm they had managed to slice off from his body.

The Descending begins
Meanwhile, in the DigiQuartz, ZedMillenniumon and the Quartz Globe started to react. The Globe was enshrouded by a black and green substance and a large purple eye appeared on it. DarknessBagramon's spiritual form had fused itself with the Globe was turned into a Digimon named Quartzmon. Quartzmon telepathically told ZedMillenniumon that the distortion was now large enough. Then, a large dodecahedron descended and seven unknown Digimon enshrouded by force fields came out to went into separate places on the planet. The red one which descended into London held a Digimon which spoke in Latin and said that the Descending has begun.

The Tamers saw electrical disturbances happening around the world, Keisuke realized the Great Demon Lords had finally emerged into the real world. But before the Tamers could do anything, Arkadimon, in his Mega form, appeared and attacked the laboratory. He separated into his weaker In-Training form bodies and they started to destroy the building. The Digimon were in no situation to be evolve and fight back so they had to leave the place. Before that, Keisuke attempted to download some of the data from the lab to his laptop with help a program fastening the download speed. But when the download was complete, debris fell on Jørgen and Eden refused to leave him die. Jørgen said that since it was for Eden to return to her true home, he was ready to consider his role as a father fulfilled, telling Eden and the Tamers to save themselves, move on with their lives and fulfill their destiny. That was when another debris fell and prevented the Tamers from doing anything to help Jørgen. Sven and Jiro Ichida took Eden with them when they used a white portal where Patamon and Plottmon told them to enter.

Huckmon's real identity
When the Tamers had gone through the portal, they arrived into the Old Ruins guarded by Centauromon. Unimon, Elecmon, Swanmon and Huckmon were there as well. Everyone told how Huckmon was the one who had summoned everyone there. The Tamers wanted answers. How did Huckmon know so much about the Digiversum and why he was working under Yggdrasill in the first place? Huckmon explained he is the Rookie form of the Thirteenth Guardian Knight and the only one who has never died and passed his legacy to someone else. Before becoming a Guardian Knight, Huckmon was young and impatient Digimon who was somehow powerful enough to defeat even an Ultimate Level Digimon. He was found and trained by a Knight named Gankoomon who was also one of the first Knights later killed by Abaddomon and the other servants of the Great Demon Lords.

At the request of Yggdrasill itself, he was told to leave the Digital Middle World and was the first Digimon allowed to see what the Quantum Sea really was like. Now that the Great Demon Lords had returned, it was his duty to guide the Tamers, Spirit Warriors and Generals in their battle and help Eden resume her role as Homeostasis and help her real father to rejuvenate the Digiversum. He himself couldn't fight because he had lost his ability to evolve after the Dark Wave, just like some of the original ruling bodies of the Digiversum had lost most of their powers. He touched Eden's forehead as well as Edenmon's. Eden's memories from time before the Dark Wave had returned and Huckmon told that next time she would fuse with Edenmon, the fusion would be permanent. After that, Huckmon just disappeared.

Researching the opponents
In the Network headquarters, the Tamers saw how the dodecahedron was floating above the Atlantic Ocean. According to information translated from the Old Ruins by Centauromon, it was Apocalymon, a fortress of the Great Demon Lords built from a collection of negative feelings turned matter. But it was more than just a fortress, Apocalymon had the same power than ZedMillenniumon and Quartzmon, an ability to manipulate time and space, causing the distortion to spread even faster. Eden remembered from her memories of her time Homeostasis that if the Demon Lords would a fourth Digimon or energy concentration for manipulating time and space, the Earth would certainly come to its end.

Sadaharu Deguchi has just analyzed Keisuke's data and briefed the Tamers, Spirit Warriors and Generals for one last time about the identities and powers of every single Great Demon Lord: Lilithmon is the Demon Lord of Lust, corrupted counterpart for Ophanimon, and her Crest was used by Bagramon as tool to command the third battalion of the Bagra Army; Beelzemon is the Demon Lord of Gluttony who consumes the data of every opponent he faces to become stronger, and his Crest was found by Abaddomon in the Digital Middle World; Barbamon is the Demon Lord of Greed who is obsessed every treasure that exists in the Digiversum, and his Crest was the first one Abaddomon found all those years ago; Belphemon is the Demon Lord of Sloth who can fight even his sleep and becomes angrier and more powerful if he wakes up, and his Crest was found by Akihiro Kurata from the real world; Demon is the Demon Lord of Wrath, corrupted counterpart for Seraphimon, and his Crest was found by Arkadimon from the depths of the Colosseum in the ruins of DigiElDorado; Leviamon is the Demon Lord of Envy, a powerful sea monster whose Crest was found from the Lake Zone of the DigiFuse Zones; and Lucemon is the Demon Lord of Pride, the strongest of them all, and the fallen master of the Three Archangels whose Crest was responsible for corrupting Cherubimon in the Spirit Frontier.

Lucemon, Barbamon and Duftmon were currently in London, Leviamon in the Atlantic Ocean, Belphemon and Beelzemon in New York, and Lilithmon, Demon and Arkadimon were in Tokyo. Yoko and Agumon also recognized that a man looking like Gennai was spotted with Belphemon and Beelzemon. They used the email address Gennai had provided and the answer they got confirmed their suspicions: the Dark Gennai had escaped and was working with the Great Demon Lords.

Calling all reinforcements
Swanmon and Elecmon were to keep every surviving Digi-Egg in their hands to ensure that they will not harmed by the battles. Eden and Edenmon needed to go with Centauromon to meet with Gennai and Huckmon who would tell them how Yggdrasill can be awakened. Sven decided to go with them as well. Alisha had received information from her cousin Hayley that the Lost Tamer will join them in the battle very soon. Theo and Kaiji had explored the D-Scanner application, and they managed to activate a new function that allows the transportation of Spirits between smartphones.

Yoko and Kristin realized that they still had one potential ally they could persuade to help them. They went to talk with DORUmon who still felt ashamed of LordKnightmon's death and Duftmon's betrayal. DORUmon was unwilling to help, because his still believed that the Great Demon Lords would be too powerful opponents for them. But Yoko says that DORUmon can still redeem himself if he helps them. She also says that the only things that could try to make them lose the war would be Yggdrasill's death and Earth's destruction. And despite setbacks, they kept on fighting to make sure that none of their deceased allies died for nothing: Damian Lake, Rieko Hirasawa, Leomon, Whamon, HolyAngemon, Apollomon, Olegmon, LordKnightmon and Jørgen Christensen. DORUmon remembered the deaths of his own friends all those years ago and started to feel like he had a reason to fight again.

The Battle for Salvation starts
Everyone decided to separate into three groups: Kristin, Alisha, Nori and Matthew "Matt" Thwaite would go into New York; Mike and the other Generals of Fusion Heart United as well Vince and Jiro would go into Tokyo; and Yoko, DORUmon, Keisuke, Theo and Kaiji would go into London. Sadaharu had contacted the other headquarters of the Network to stay in touch and prepared a plan to evacuate civilians from the three main battle areas. If they would be able to destroy the physical forms of every Great Demon Lord and banish their remains back into the Dark Area before they manage to fully reformat into Digi-Eggs to be reborn, Eden and Edenmon can fuse back into Homeostasis and fully awaken Yggdrasill.

Everyone prepares to go through their respective portals into the current locations of their enemies. Patamon and Plottmon had decided to go with Yoko's group to confront Lucemon.

Around the world, every Great Demon Lord is starting to affect the world by corrupting humanity and wreaking havoc. While negative humans of humanity can make the Demon Lords stronger, they can make the negative feelings stronger. Tamers, Spirit Warriors, Generals and their allies could protect themselves from it, but evacuating civilians would become much harder now. Sadaharu, Sam and Rob McCoy, however, promised that they should concentrate on their enemies while trying to avoid hurting the civilians. After reaching their locations, everyone took up their Digivices, D-Scanners and Fusion Loaders and prepared to activate the evolutions of their Partner Digimon.

Confronting Lucemon
In London, after Agumon, Gabumon and Tentomon evolved into WarGreymon, MetalGarurumon and AtlasKabuterimon, Yoko said she wanted to talk with Lucemon first. Lucemon appeared in his Rookie form, a young angel boy with eight wings. He had retained his ability to appear in his pre-corrupted form even though his true personality was evil. Speaking in English, Lucemon questioned the Tamers' thoughts about him. He reminded how there was two beliefs about why evil exists: religions claim that a fallen god spreads his corruption among humanity while atheistic people believe that good and evil don't really exist at all. Lucemon believed that both these were true in his opinion. He says how the Digiversum reflects every known aspect of the real world but with different kind of physics and lifeforms. He believed that the reason he and the other Great Demon Lords exist was to give the evil inside Digimon hearts a little push so the natural development would keep going further. Lucemon even says how he is now attempting to decide the fate of the real universe and the Digiversum just like Ronald Yeoman attempted to do that in his own way six years ago.

WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon claimed that it didn't mean evil is meant to win, but Lucemon said that good will never fully vanquish evil anyways and how it would be easier to let evil win than keep fighting forever. Keisuke believed that evil was meant to try destroy good but never succeed, while good was meant to make sure that evil never fully wins. Theo had heard enough of Lucemon's words and wanted him to reveal his true form. Lucemon's body then started to grow and half of his body turned into demonic form. This was Lucemon Falldown Mode, his Ultimate form and the true Great Demon Lord of Pride. WarGreymon, MetalGarurumon and MirageGaogamon attacked him and DORUmon returned from his hideout, having used artificial evolution to evolve into Alphamon. Theo and Kaiji used the new function of D-Scanner to Spirit Evolve straightly into EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon. Lucemon immediately attacked his opponents, believing to be more powerful than any of them. Leviamon was swimming towards the coast, preparing to cause even further destruction.

Meanwhile in other locations
In New York, Beelzemon was driving on a mysterious motorcycle-like device it called Behemoth while Belphemon Sleep Mode was floating in the air and Barbamon was just standing still. Guilmon and Bearmon Joint Evolved into Dukemon who interrupted Beelzemon. Beelzemon had been searching for a powerful opponent to face and then download their data to become the most powerful Digimon ever. Matt and Dukemon decided to deal with this by himself while Kristin, Alisha, MirageGaogamon and Rosemon went after Belphemon. Nori and Garudamon went after Barbamon who was also in the city. Belphemon would become even more powerful it would be woken up, but without suffering any damage it could not be defeated. Barbamon possessed the fragment of Yggdrasill's root that was once part of the Spear of Destruction carried by Abaddomon. He attempted disturb the portals so much that their opponents would be too distract to oppose them and only the things valuable to the Great Demon Lords would be spared. That was when a surprise happened: Terriermon and Lopmon had arrived into New York with Wade Goldblum, Terriermon's Tamer. Terriermon immediately evolved into Galgomon and then into Rapidmon to help others fight Beelzemon, Belphemon and Barbamon. Wade greeted Alisha Jones who had previously contacted her and offered his assistance to Matt who was happy to have a new friend.

In Tokyo, Veedramon and Gomamon had evolved into UlforceVeedramon and Zudomon to face Arkadimon, Demon and Lilithmon. But thanks to Arkadimon having once made a bond with the Crest of Wrath, Demon gifted him an ability to change his form even more powerful. Arkadimon turned into a half-solid fog-like form, calling it his Super Ultimate Mode. Vince and Jiro were worried, knowing that now Arkadimon would be even harder to defeat. Mike, Chris and Nene confronted Lilithmon whose Crest once a tool used by Bagramon to control part of the Bagra Army. Shoutmon, Greymon and Sparrowmon came out of the Fusion Loaders, ready to fight. Much to Lilithmon's surprise, Mike had also brought DarknessBagramon's severed skeletal arm with him. But now it was decorated with a golden hilt and holes meant for DigiMemories. He explained that the arm was now transformed into the Brave Snatcher which would become a powerful tool against any kinds of enemies after the remaining part of Bagramon's powers would be exiled from it. Lilithmon demanded it to be returned, but then Ballistamon, Dorulumon, MailBirdramon, the Starmon Gang came out of the Fusion Loader and DigiFused with Shoutmon, Greymon and Sparrowmon to form Shoutmon X7. Shoutmon X7 started to attack Lilithmon, but was only able to defend, not attack.

The ghosts of past
In the Digital Middle World, Eden and Edenmon were suddenly attacked. The attacker looked exactly like Akihiro Kurata whom everyone already knew was dead. Kurata kept carrying a tortured person with him. It was Ronald Yeoman who was once again released from prison. Yeoman also knew about Kurata's death and wanted to know who the impostor was. The hologram around the Dark Gennai disappeared and he assumed an appearance similar to the real Gennai but with black robes. He revealed that he had come to give Yeoman one last glimpse of the Digiversum before planning to kill him as well as destroy Homeostasis so Yggdrasill would never wake up. Sven was still mad at Yeoman for being the victim of his manipulation six years ago, but knew that this time Dark Gennai was the enemy. Dark Gennai touched Yggdrasill and used a connection to Barbamon's crystal to send several holographic copies of him to taunt the Tamers during their battle. Holograms of fake Kurata and Yeoman's former personality from six years ago appeared to taunt them as well.

But soon, Dark Gennai became surprised. Tadao had come into the Digital Middle World and by touching Yggdrasill's roots he had opened two other portals. Justin Alder and Gennai came through the first one and the one who came through the other one was BlackWarGreymon, a creation of Fake Agumon Expert faced by Yoko, Agumon and Gabumon over a year ago. Dark Gennai mocked BlackWarGreymon for joining on the Tamers' side, but BlackWarGreymon blamed Dark Gennai for not finding the reason for his existence. He refused to be a slave to anyone, but was unable to enjoy a normal life like other Digimon. But he believes he can find a reason again, because Tadao had been chosen to be Yggdrasill's messenger and give the Tamers the keys to victory. Tadao said he knew everything that happened in the real world and the Digiversum during his coma. He then went to find Huckmon and they had heard the words left behind by both Yggdrasill and Homeostasis: "To look into the darkness in oneself and beyond to find power." He says how only certain Tamers already know what it means, but the time has come to reveal the secret to everyone. Dark Gennai tries to attack him, but is unable to touch Tadao, since his hand starts to burn.

Going beyond darkness in oneself
Then, every television and computer screen in London, New York and Tokyo shows an image of Tadao. Sadaharu was overjoyed to see that his son had woken up from coma, since he had feared that Tadao had been kidnapped. Then he heard him telling the message he had been assigned to send to every Tamer in the real world. Sam McCoy reported that the message was already seen by everyone. In their respective locations, Sadaharu's wife Mari, Sven's butler, Keisuke's adoptive parents, Matt's parents, Theo's parents and his brother Simon, Kaiji's family, Mike's parents, Nene's brother Yu and the former members of the Anti-Tamer Movement, had seen it as well.

The battle hasn't been easy for any of the Tamers. Dukemon and Rapidmon manage to destroy Behemoth but Beelzemon has grown wings on his back and taken up a larger gun, turning into his Blast Mode. MirageGaogamon and Rosemon keep fighting against Belphemon who had become angry since being forced to wake up. In his Rage Mode, Belphemon was more aggressive and didn't care about whom he hurt. Barbamon's attempts were disrupted by the death of Dark Gennai and Tadao's broadcast, forcing him to join the more active part of the battle right after striking Garudamon into the ground. Demon and Arkadimon Super Ultimate Mode Joint Evolved together, becoming Demon Super Ultimate Mode. UlforceVeedramon and Zudomon were overpowered by him. Lilithmon knew that Shoutmon X7 had only managed to slice off DarknessBagramon's arm but not otherwise wound him, giving her confidence to overpower him. The fight was interrupted when Mervamon, a friend of Nene and Sparrowmon came to help. She said how Iliad had become affected by the distortions and how some members of the Olympos XII were dying, forcing her to come help her former allies.

In London, Leviamon was too powerful opponent for AtlasKabuterimon, EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon. WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon Joint Evolved into Omegamon and together with Alphamon fought against Lucemon. Then, they saw the message left by Tadao. Yoko already knew that "darkness in oneself" meant that the person needed to face his inner doubts and fears that prevented him from reaching his/her full potential. Yoko had already found her own reason to fight, since she only wanted to do her own part of helping her brother and was even willing to take his place after the latter had fallen into coma. Kristin had found her own reason after getting rid of "the disease" Kurata and Abaddomon had used to prevent her from doing so. Keisuke was forced to admit his own inner doubts. He had started to concentrate on his nerdy activities and knowledge-seeking ever since he had found out the truth about being adopted. But since he had made peace with the thought he attempted to make degenerated Tentomon to warp evolve into Mega Level. And it succeeded: Tentomon evolved into big yellow beetle called HeracleKabuterimon. In New York, Nori had learned to be more understanding and degenerated Piyomon warp evolved into Phoenixmon, a large four-winged bird. In Tokyo, Jiro had learned to balance his life as an adult and as a Tamer and degenerated Gomamon warp evolved into Vikemon who had only few similar traits Zudomon had, but used two large morning stars instead of a hammer and was white.

BlackWarGreymon's sacrifice
Dark Gennai threatened to kill Eden and Edenmon. Sven tried to stop it, but was thrown aside. Then, Yeoman interrupted but Dark Gennai started to electrocute him with powers he had got the Demon Lords. BlackWarGreymon told Yeoman to let go, because he wanted to be the one to kill Dark Gennai. But Yeoman didn't do it. He said he had lost his reason to live and felt that prison wasn't enough satisfying way to pay for his past crimes. Soon, after that Yeoman died and fell into the ground. BlackWarGreymon told Eden and Edenmon to accept their destiny so no one else would need to die to protect them. BlackWarGreymon allowed himself to be touched by Dark Gennai and his body started to petrify. After BlackWarGreymon was fully petrified, Dark Gennai thought he had won. But then BlackWarGreymon's body shattered and the fragments flew into Dark Gennai, starching his body painfully several times until the biggest shard pierced his chest. Dark Gennai was dead and the real Gennai was once again the only one left. Tadao believed that BlackWarGreymon had finally found the meaning of his own life.

New evolution methods
In London, The Spirit Warriors and Generals wondered if the message could help even them, but their evolution methods were different than the Tamers'. Theo and Kaiji wondered if it would be possible to have all twenty Human and Beast Spirits into one body, but a new function appeared into D-Scanner, but activating it required all six D-Scanner applications from separate smartphones. That was when Gemma, Jonah, Osip and Kazuo appeared through the portals. They had heard Tadao's message and arrived into London with their own phones. They had seen the function as well and were certain that six humans could control the combination of all Spirits. They activated the function: Ancient Spirit Evolution. This function did exactly what they hoped: EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon fused into a warrior named Susanoomon, controlled by all of the Spirit Warriors inside its body.

In Tokyo, Patamon, Plottmon and Lopmon appeared. Their full powers from their previous incarnations had been restored. They touched the Brave Snacther and purified it from the remainders of Bagramon. Bagramon still existed as Quartzmon in the DigiQuartz, but could no longer connect with his lost arm. The weapon allowed Shoutmon X7 to use techniques of any other Digimon species and or DigiFuse their data to him. Vince's own inner doubts were gone and UlforceVeedramon's wings and sword grew larger. It was UlforceVeedramon's Future Mode. His powers were much to Demon that Arkadimon was separated. UlforceVeedramon launched a powerful beam that destroyed Arkadimon once and for all.

In New York, Duftmon tried to help his masters and was alone too powerful opponent for Phoenixmon. The Digivices of Kristin and Alisha changed forms, activating a new power inside MirageGaogamon and Rosemon, changing their forms and colors. The two managed to defeat Duftmon whose data was left to float in the air. The fallen Guardian Knight was purified of his corruption. It was Burst Evolution, possible only for certain Digimon species. Rapidmon degenerated back into Terriermon and Wade admitted that he had not been able to trust teamwork as much as Terriermon had. Wade apologized and his Digivice transformed into a new form and its screen showed a word Biomerge. Then, his body fused with Terriermon and they became a Digimon named SaintGalgomon, Terriermon's Mega form. Now all of the Tamers, Spirit Warriors and Generals had reached their full potential and were ready to defeat the Great Demon Lords. SaintGalgomon.

Defeat of the Six
ZedMillenniumon and Quartzmon were in the DigiQuartz and Apocalymon was simply a fortress floating in the sea. Everyone resolved to defeat the Great Demon Lords. Patamon, Plottmon and Lopmon evolved into their Mega forms, which was the rebirth of the Three Archangels. The three joined Omegamon and Alphamonin their fight to face Lucemon. Lucemon tried to fight against them, but now he had too many powerful opponents. Meanwhile, HeracleKabuterimon and Susanoomon used their powers to eliminate Leviamon and sink his body into the ocean. They then returned to England with Keisuke.

In Tokyo, Demon became angry at the loss of Arkadimon and ripped his robes off to use raw power against UlforceVeedramon and Vikemon. Shoutmon X7 arrived with the Brave Snatcher and their combined power burned Demon's skin. They also drove Lilithmon into the situation where she was trapped without any way to escape. She tried to blow herself and attempted to take the three Digimon with them. But they contained the energy concentration, forcing Lilithmon herself to be the only one to be destroyed. Then, they went with Vince, Jiro, Mike, Chris and Nene through the portal into London, hoping to help the others. In New York, Dukemon used SaintGalgomon to fly after Beelzemon and launched blasts from his lance and shield to shoot the motorist Demon Lord down. MirageGaogamon and Rosemon combined their powers to weaken Belphemon but Barbamon attempted to disturb the fight. However, Phoenixmon, Dukemon and SaintGalgomon came to their aid and three Demon Lords were struck into the ground. Then Nori, Kristin, Alisha, Matt and Wade went into London as well.

In the Digital Middle World, Tadao, Huckmon, Eden and Edenmon touched the roots of Yggdrasill. This launched a powerful light wave around the world that destroyed the physical forms of the Great Demon Lords. Their data, however, was starting to reformat into Digi-Eggs and if the reformatting would be complete, the six Demon Lords would be reborn.

The Ultimate Demon Lord
Lucemon, however, had survived the wave, but was severely weakened. That was when the Archangels started to take away the light part of his body. Lucemon resisted and the process couldn't be completed. Alphamon then restrained Lucemon until Omegamon came and used his sword to slice the angelic form of Lucemon's body away from the demonic part. The data of the light side was claimed by the Archangels to empower themselves, deeming Lucemon being no longer the highest angel of the Digiversum.

Lucemon, however, started to laugh. His body had become now fully demonic and he said how it only made him sronger. He formed a connection to the remains of the other six Demon Lords and his own body started to grow and transform. He transformed into a large black dragon with the all Seven Crests of the Deadly Sins carved into his body and glowing. Lucemon had evolved into his Devil Dragon Mode. At that moment, the distortion started to spread so fast that it was able engulf the entire planet in just few seconds. Tamers, Spirit Warriors, Generals, Alphamon and the Archangels could only watch how the Descending was finally ready to be completed. Several natural disasters started to happen around the world. The Partner Digimon tried to attack Lucemon, but his new form was able to regenerate even from large wounds. Everyone had to choice but to evacuate into the Digiversum to escape the destruction of Earth.

In the Digital Middle World, Sven blamed himself for all of this, but Tadao didn't give up and neither did Huckmon. Huckmon said how he needed to return back into the space between the Digiversum and the Quantum Sea to ensure a secured pathway between them. Gennai had to reurn to Digimon Academy to help his colleagues, leaving Tadao and Eden to deliver the final message left behind by Yggdrasill to prevent the Descending. The message consisted of only one word: REBOOT.

The reboot
The humans started to evacuate into the Digital Middle World, thanks to the members of Network warning people about it. The Digiversum would be preserved and even if Earth would be gone, but Sadaharu felt hopeful when he heard that the Descending can still be prevented. Eden and Edenmon knew that their role as Homeostasis was more important than ever, so they decided to finally fuse into the avatar of Homeostasis once and for all. She explained what the Reboot is. It was meant to be used if the Digiversum would ever be faced by a threat so large that it can't be stopped by any other means. It would reformat the Digiversum into the state it was before the threat most of the Digimon would lose their memories, believing that any events after the event they return to never happened.

Now that Lucemon was attempting to make the Digiversum capable of existing without humans or Earth, this gave Homeostasis a chance to wake up Yggdrasill and together with him to reboot the real universe back to the state before the Descending and undo any damage that had happened. But the Reboot requires so much power that it can't be repeated immediately. It can only give Tamers, Spirit Warriors and Generals more time to defeat Lucemon. Tamers were reunited with their families, some of them unable to believe that the end of the world would come today. Sven and Tadao met with Kristin and Yoko who said how the reboot was now the only thing that can save them. Sven was ready to accept that the adoptive daughter of Professor Jørgen Christensen was never a human to begin with. Homeostasis reminded that Sven still had his sister, friends and servants in his estate as people in his life. Kristin and Gaomon hugged Sven when Homeostasis prepared to step inside Yggdrasill's main body and wake up her "father".

Before going inside the large white tree, Homeostasis wanted the Tamers to promise that one day humans and the Digimon will live in harmony once Lucemon is defeated. Then, the large white tree started to glow its roots on other worlds of the Digiversum became active again. The counter appeared with 5 minutes on it. Meanwhile, humans were forced to look as Earth started to become chaotic and devastated. The planet was about to reach its limit when the counter finally reached zero and the Reboot started.

The true power of the Code Crown
Most of the Digimon in the Digiversum or any human who was saved by the reboot didn't remember any of the events before the opening of the distortion that brought the Great Demon Lords into the real world. Every human in the Digiversum still had their memories and so had the Partner Digimon. Lucemon had retained his Devil Dragon Mode and the remains of the other Demon Lords had not fully reformatted into Digi-Eggs, meaning that their essence was too much to be rebooted. Professor Jørgen Christensen had been resurrected by the Reboot and was in his laboratory. Ronald Yeoman was still dead, because his body was in the Digiversum during the Reboot.

Tamers, Spirit Warriors and Generals returned to London and they faced Lucemon again. Something was different, a portal into the DigiQuartz was open and a white and blue crown fell through it. It was the completed Code Crown. The same wave that had destroyed the physical forms of the other six Great Demon Lords had also separated Quartzmon from the Code Crown. Shoutmon X7 took the Code Crown and it started to glow. Then, the Spirits were separated from the D-Scanner applications inside the Spirit Warriors' smartphones and every Partner Digimon DigiFused with Shoutmon X7, forming Shoutmon X7 Superior Mode. The Superior Mode could only be assumed by the rightful King of the DigiFuse Zones which Shoutmon had now become. It went first into the DigiQuartz and purified the Quartz Globe of Quartzmon's essence. Then he launched it at ZedMillenniumon, creating a temporary black hole that sucked both Quartzmon and ZedMillenniumon, eliminating them. Apocalymon was also destroyed, with the negative energy flowing away and the physical remains crumbling into the sea.

The furious Lucemon Devil Dragon Mode attacked, but Shoutmon X7 was able to wound him so many times that his body regenerated too slowly. Then Shoutmon X7 saw a large sphere the dragon had been liked on its hands. He shattered the orb and a human-sized winged larva flew out of it. It was Lucemon's true Mega form: Lucemon Larva. The Devil Dragon was left behind as a lifeless puppet while Shoutmon X7 chased after Lucemon Larva. Larva launched powerful stinging spikes to disturb him. It didn't even speak, only screamed.

The rebirth of the Digiversum
Lucemon Larva was too fast. Shoutmon X7 decided to separate back into the Digimon it was formed from and they surrounded the Larva. They launched their attacks to wound the Larva and finally, they DigiFused back into Superior Mode to launch the most powerful attack: Fusion Flare Buster. Lucemon Larva fell into the ground. Yggdrasill reacted to this by opening a portal into the Dark Area and sucking the spirits and energy of every Great Demon Lord forcefully inside. The power of the Seed of Eden was finally ready to be used to restore the Digiversum.

Yggdrasill's roots around the Digiversum were glowing. Elecmon and Swanmon witnessed how remains of deceased Digimon were flowing into the Shrines of Rebirth, creating new Digi-Eggs. Clouds appeared above DigiElDorado and the rain started to purify waters and make new healthier plants to grow. The Spirit Frontier got its stolen fractal codes back and the world seemed to be habitable again. Even the damages done to the DigiFuse Zones was repaired. While normal humans returned to Earth, Tamers, Spirit Warriors, Generals and members of the Network witnessed how the Digiversum looked now more beautiful and lively place. Sven wasn't sad about Eden's leaving and neither was Justin about Ted's death. Justin found two Digi-Eggs, the ones that belonged to Duftmon and LordKnightmon. Kotemon would be reborn and he could start a new life without being anyone's Partner Digimon. And Duftmon would be reborn as a benevolent Digimon. Every ally and friend they had lost didn't die in vain. Tadao could no longer contact Yggdrasill or Homeostasis, meaning that his task was now finished. He could live normal life again.

Moving on
Huckmon appeared, thanking everyone for their help and saying how he and Gennai can now resume their roles as the original messengers. The Great Demon Lords were exiled once again. Whether they would ever be able to return or not, the evil can still exist in any other form. Now it was meant for the cooperation of humans and Digimon to ensure that it won't happen. It was time for the Tamers to decide if they want to resume normal life or keep acting as peacekeepers.

Theo and the other Spirit Warriors felt that they didn't need Spirits anymore so they gave them back to the Archangels who sent them back into the Spirit Frontier and promised to chronicle the story of the Spirit Warriors so they would always be remembered. Shoutmon was ready to assume his role as the King of the DigiFuse Zones with the Code Crown and the Brave Snatcher acting as symbols of his status. Mike, Chris and Nene gave their Fusion Loaders to him and Shoutmon said that the Fusion Loaders would only be returned if they would be needed again. Tamers remembered how they could also pass their Digivices and partners to someone else, like Tadao and Sven had done to Yoko and Kristin. Keisuke, Nori, Vince and Jiro, however, decided to completely give up their status as Tamers and gave the Digivices to Tentomon, Piyomon, Veedramon and Gomamon who fused with the Digivices and were able to maintain their Mega forms permanently. Alphamon revealed that he had fused with his own artificial evolution method as well to remain in his Mega form permanently too.

Bearmon detached himself from Justin's former Digivice which just disappeared. Matt decided to pass his Digivice and Guilmon to someone he knew. Alisha also knew someone who could become Lalamon's new Tamer. Wade wanted to remain as a Tamer because it had been only few months since he had reunited with Terriermon. Yoko and Kristin were still unable to decide what to do. They gave their Digivices to Agumon, Gabumon and Gaomon who didn't yet fuse with them and assume their own Mega forms permanently. Agumon and Gabumon felt that they needed to remain as Rookie Level Digimon, but their bond with Yoko was all they needed to use the Digivices by themselves. Yoko and Kristin had experienced both good and bad things as Tamers and were ready to resume normal life. After everyone had returned to their respective worlds, Huckmon said how the New Digiversum is both the same and different than the first one, but with many more things than everyone would soon find out.

Trivia

 * The main focus of this film is to show much every character has grown ever since they were introduced and how they use that knowledge to unlock their potential in the final battle against the Great Demon Lords.
 * This film has the largest number of characters this far which is expected due to it being the culmination of everything that previously happened, despite it being the direct sequel of The Gathering.
 * BlackWarGreymon's appearance and his death in the film were meant to prevent too many plot points being passed to the next installments.
 * Professor Jørgen Christensen and Ronald Yeoman were initially meant to die in the film, but Jørgen was decided to be resurrected by the Reboot, because there wasn't any working story for him to die in the Digiversum instead of the real world.
 * Gemma Illiano, Jonah Sheridan, Osip Ivankov and Kazuo Komiyama were added into the film, because the crossover event didn't feel complete without them.
 * This film is the first one since Digimon 3 to have some of the Tamers to pass their Digivices and Partner Digimon to someone else. This event will set the events of both Agumon & Gabumon and Digimon: New Information Age.
 * Another events that set the future films are the introductions of Burst Evolution and Biomerge Evolution which were used by Kristin, Alisha and Wade.
 * Some Tamers give up their powers completely, making their Partner Digimon capable of retaining their Mega forms permanently. This was inspired by the flashback of Digimon Adventure tri. which revealed that the Harmonius Ones were once Partner Digimon too.
 * Leviamon, Belphemon and Barbamon are the only Great Demon Lords without any dialogue.
 * The Reboot was inspired by the event in Digimon Adventure tri., but was this time used as a method of saving Earth and buying heroes more time to defeat the villains.
 * Brave Snatcher was made part of the plot because of the role it played in the crossover event in third season of real-life anime Digimon Fusion.
 * Apocalymon was introduced as a fortress rather than a Digimon which was inspired by certain series in Transformers franchise where Metroplex and Trypticon were introduced as fortresses and cities instead of gigantic fighter robots. This plot element was included to put as many powerful evil Digimon as possible against Tamers.
 * Quartzmon appeared for the exact same reason and Bagramon was planned to eventually become Quartzmon ever since he was introduced in DigiFuse.
 * Putting certain Digimon against certain Great Demon Lords was inspired by these plot points of real-life media:
 * Demon (Daemon in English dub) and Arkadimon (Arcadiamon in English dub) were enemies of Taichi Yagami and Zeromaru in Digimon Adventure V-Tamer 01.
 * Beelzemon was an antihero fought by Dukemon (Gallantmon in English dub) in Digimon Tamers.
 * Belphemon was an enemy of DATS, which Gaomon, Lalamon and their human partners belong to in Digimon Data Squad.
 * Lilithmon (Laylamon in English dub) was one the highest members of Bagra Army and therefore an enemy of Shoutmon in Digimon Fusion.
 * Digimon: The Descending includes several easter eggs.
 * Huckmon reveals himself being the Rookie form of the Thirteenth Guardian Knight mentioned in Digimon Origins #1: The Event.
 * BlackWarGreymon appears and faces Dark Gennai who had a role in his birth during the events of Agumon.
 * Alisha is the only who calls Wade Goldblum to join the Tamers in the final battle as her cousin Hayley became Wade's friend and contact in Terriermon.
 * The nature of the Descending and its potential to destroy Earth were already explained in Digimon: The Gathering.
 * When Tadao woke up from his coma in the ending scene of Digimon: The Gathering, which is also the opening scene of this film, it was meant to lead to the scene he cryptically reveals the secret of evolving a Partner Digimon to Mega Level.
