Synopsis[]
Within the metaphysical Prison Land, Mikey, Shoutmon, Ballistamon, and Dorulumon face the Digicores of the defeated Dark Generals seeking their revenge. Forming Shoutmon X3, they begin to fight. Though the Dark Generals believe it to be easy, as Shoutmon X3 is a relatively weak Digimon compared to the power it took to take them out, Shoutmon X3 remains standing. Unfortunately, he is not strong enough to take successive attacks, defusing back into Shoutmon, Ballistamon and Dorulumon. Olegmon watches in horror as Whispered taunts them, and then he is ordered to deal with him. Olegmon visibly wavers, especially when Mikey reveals that the reason why AxeKnightmon revived them without their DigiCores is because he only wants puppets. Whispered privately agrees with Mikey's logic, prompting a flash to appear before him as he wonders what it was.
Gravimon then decides to finish them off due to Olegmon's hesistance and attacks Mikey. Whispered continues to order the other Generals, who begin to balk at the leadership role Whispered is assuming, Whispered defends himself by stating that he's the strongest, before Olegmon tells them to stop fighting among themselves. Whispered then coldly tells him that they were never friends, only not enemies due to their affiliation. NeoMyotismon then attempts to finish Mikey off, but Olegmon defends him after realizing that there is no true camaraderie in the Bagra Army. He officially defects, inspiring Whispered's ire. Whispered attacks and orders the others to do so, but they refuse as they wish to see his power alone. Shoutmon and the others recover enough to defend Mikey once more, forming Shoutmon X3 again. Combining his strength with Olegmon allows Shoutmon X3 to knock Whispered flat, who then begins contemplating the power of friends.
At the same time, Whispered begins to hear Apollomon's voice. Apollomon gains strength from Whispered's doubt and eventually frees himself from Whispered, as Prison Land is the place where DigiCores can materialize. The other generals are surprised to see two Apollomons. Whispered tries to eliminate his host, but Apollomon easily takes him out with a single blow. The remaining Dark Generals then realize that their bickering has caused consequences, while Olegmon is gleeful of a real fight. Apollomon, realizing the extent of the danger outside, teleports his allies out of Prison Land while taking on the brunt of the vengeful generals.
Their souls and cores return to the Digital World, surprising AxeKnightmon as Olegmon returns and announces his defection, before Apollomon's body shatters due to dying in Prison Land, leaving AxeKnightmon with only five bodies. Nonetheless, he digifuses the remaining Digimon into an incomplete Grand Generamon, while the United Army responds with Shoutmon X7. Olegmon takes the opportunity to destroy the Regenerator that allows AxeKnightmon to revive them, but is heavily wounded in the effort. Shoutmon X7 and Grand Generamon attack each other with beam-like attacks, and though it looks like Shoutmon X7 is losing, closer inspection shows it weakening while the Dark Generals in Prison Land express large amounts of pain. They realize that Mikey was telling the truth and become demoralized, causing a significant power decrease. Olegmon performs one last attack, allowing Shoutmon X7 to destroy Grand Generamon and forcing AxeKnightmon to retreat. Olegmon dies happy, while the DigiCores of the other Dark Generals fade away.
With all these sacrifices in their hearts, the Fusion Fighters United Army reaffirm their vow to destroy Lord Bagra, revive their fallen friends with the Code Crown, and return peace to the Digital World.
