## Plot synopsis

### Recap of The Crest of Light

After Machinedramon attacked the Digidestined, T.K. and the girls were separated from Tai and Izzy. As they went searching for them, they saw WaruMonzaemon enslaving the Numemon whom Kari helped free with this strange light. On Tai and Izzy's side, Andromon appeared and helped fight against Machinedramon who chased the boys into the others. As the Numemon tried to face the metallic Dark Master, they were easily killed! Then, Agumon became WarGreymon and wiped out the nasty metal terminator Digimon. Now, it's time to face Piedmon. Can the Digidestined do it, how are Mimi and Joe faring on finding allies, and most importantly, where is Matt? Stay tuned for all the answers.

### Act 1

While gathering allies, Mimi, Joe, Ogremon and the other allies notice Machinedramon's city vanishing. Gomamon realizes that their friends defeated him which tells Palmon that there was only one Dark Master left. Ogremon reminds them that Piedmon, the only remaining Dark Master, was still out there and more powerful than the others. In agreement, Joe and the others continue to find more comrades. Soon, they stop to rest for while Joe thinks of what Jim told him in Prophecy, vowing to buck up his optimism and become stronger inside!

### Act 2

At Spiral Mountain, the others build a memorial to honor the Numemon who died fighting Machinedramon. In the meantime, Piedmon notices the DigiDestined and sends LadyDevimon to attack them. As Joe and Mimi resume their travels, they notice the damaged Primary Village with Ogremon telling them he told them so. As they notice all the crushed Digi-Eggs, the kids hear a harmonica and realize Matt might be nearby. Meanwhile, LadyDevimon attacks the others but Tai refuses to let Agumon Warp Digivolve until Piedmon shows up, looking at the big picture. He sends Sora and T.K. to find the others and bring them back, seeing it as the time to stop letting Digi-Friends die for their sake.

### Act 3

Back on the shores near Primary Village, Mimi and Joe find Elecmon who's depressed with the loss of his village. But he does ask about T.K. and Patamon whom he befriended in Digi-Baby Boom. Upon hearing that Piedmon's the only Dark Master left, partially thanks to T.K. and Patamon, Elecmon regains his fighting embers and joins the group. Then, the kids ask about the harmonica and realize from Elecmon's explanation as to spotting a swan-shaped boat that Matt was nearby. It is then that Joe and Gomamon set off to find Matt alone, leaving Mimi with their Digi-Allies. Back by Piedmon's hideout, Izzy and Kari are still fighting LadyDevimon, whom Angewomon finishes with Heaven's Charm as Agumon spots Piedmon approaching.

### Act 4

With Piedmon headed for them, Tai Warp-Digivolves Agumon to WarGreymon, knowing they can only do so much alone.
