With the ISS continuing its plummet towards Tokyo, Houston, Moscow, and JAXA are unable to stop it, and Tokyo is evacuated while there is still time to get civilians out of the impact zone. Back in the Digital World, Tai, Kari, Sora, and T.K. meet up with Izzy and Tentomon, who reveal a plan to try and divert the ISS away from Tokyo and safely into the sea. Heading towards a large pillar of light that serves as a connection between the Digital and Real Worlds via the Internet Network, they only have a few minutes to intercept the piece of Network that the Zurumon have controlled to send the ISS to its doom before they miss their window and the space station impacts the city.
Arriving at the pillar, they are attacked by BladeKuwagamon, then by their leader, MetallifeKuwagamon. Although Gatomon, Pegasusmon, and Garudamon can hold them off, MetalGreymon is being overpowered by MetallifeKuwagamon, but his and Tai's refusal to give up cause MetalGreymon to undergo a Mega Evolution to an alternate Mega form of BlitzGreymon, that easily overpowers MetallifeKuwagamon and the BladeKuwagamon. Tai has Izzy and MegaKabuterimon go on ahead to stop the Zurumon while they hold off the rogue enemy Digimon.
Reaching the intercept point and trusting in his power and the Crest of Knowledge, on Izzy's cue, MegaKabuterimon fires and destroys the Network piece connecting to the ISS, scattering the Zurumon in the process. With the Zurumon eliminated, the ISS is diverted to crash harmlessly into the ocean, to the shock of the technicians at Mission Control in Houston. Izzy and MegaKabuterimon reunite with the other DigiDestined as the news reports on the miracle of the ISS landing harmlessly in Tokyo Bay with no casualties.
