## Summary

Mimi, Jou, their partners and the Digimon they had gathered (Orgemon, Meramon, Yukidarumon, Gekomon, and Otamamon) watch as the cities vanish realizing that the others must have defeated Mugendramon leaving only one Dark Master standing. They head towards the top of Spiral Mountain with Orgemon getting annoyed at Yukidarumon and Meramon standing to close to him because of being too cold and hot. Mimi becomes exhausted from the walk so they stop for a break saying she's hungry. Gekomon and Otamamon say they'll get her food. Mimi quickly responds saying she didn't want them to serve her, but they say they just want to make themselves useful. Yukidarumon goes with them. Mimi comments that everyone is being nice and Palmon remarks it's because they like her getting stares from the others. Orgemon and Meramon quickly say they're going to take a nap. Gomamon tells Jou that his face is red, which gets an embarrassed Jou to insist that Gomamon is seeing things. They return with the food and drinks, which Yukidarumon and Meramon are able to cool and cook getting Orgemon to admit that they are useful to have around. They all take a nap and Jou dreams about the conversation he had with Shin about him becoming a doctor. He wakes up and relieves Orgemon from watch duty. He pounders about Shin telling him to find his own path and if Yamato was able to find his own. Elsewhere, Takeru and Hikari mourn the loss of the Numemon that had been killed by Mugendramon and state they'll do their best so the Numemon can be reborn at the Village of Beginnings. From high ground the rest of the chosen and Andromon are able to see Piemon's observatory at the top of Spiral Mountain, though Piemon is also able to see them through the telescope. Piemon remarks that he is glad that they came this far. Lady Devimon volunteers to fight them for him.

Mimi and Jou's group moves on having slept and eaten. Mimi is cheerful but Jou is still depressed. They come across the Village of Beginnings which has been corrupted by the Dark Master's magic. They hear Yamato's harmonica and run to it.

Back with the main group Koushirou wires his laptop to Andromon's sensors and uses it to analyze Spiral Mountain and determine that they are near the top and that the observatory is the Dark Master's base. Andromon then warns them that something is approaching as Lady Devimon introduces herself with sinister laughter. She welcomes them as "adorable little boys". Sora and Hikari take an immediate dislike to Lady Devimon and Andromon explains that she is one of the Nightmare Soldiers. Lady Devimon remarks that they must be tired so they should lay down and rest, for eternity. She poises to attack and Koromon jumps at her as Taichi evolves him into Agumon who attacks her with Baby Flame but it has no effect and she swats him back to the ground. Patamon, Piyomon and Tentomon evolve to Angemon, Birdramon and Kabuterimon respectively while Tailmon super evolves to Angewomon.

Lady Devimon proves to be a formidable opponent, simultaneously taking on five Digimon—two Ultimates (Angewomon and Andromon) three Champions (Angemon, Kabuterimon, and Birdramon). She overwhelms Angewomon, Angemon, Kabuterimon, and Birdramon at once with her Darkness Wave which knocks them back. Andromon prevents Lady Devimon from pressing her advantage by attacking her with Spiral Sword, but Ladydevimon swats it aside effortlessly. Kabuterimon and Birdramon follow up with Mega Blaster and Meteor Wing, but she extinguishes the energy blasts with a flick of her wrist, laughing and mocking them. Angemon then attacks with Heaven's Knuckle, which she swiftly dodges. However, this leads her right into the path of Angewomon's Holy Arrow which grazes her side. Growling in annoyance, Lady Devimon flies up to Angewomon and lands a vicious uppercut to Angewomon's chin that knocks the Angel Digimon back. Kabuterimon and Birdramon quickly come to Angewomon's aid by swarming Lady Devimon, but she again swats them aside without so much as a glance.

Agumon declares that he's joining them but Taichi stops him. Agumon insists that he could take her out in his Ultimate form. Taichi has Koushirou look up her data discovering her to be a Perfect level Digimon. Taichi then tells Sora and Takeru to go with Angemon and Birdramon to find Yamato and the others. Sora objects stating that their fighting at the moment but Taichi explains that the rest of their Digimon should be able to take Lady Devimon down. Taichi explains that they don't know when Piemon would show up so he needed them all together. They couldn't afford to fight recklessly as that was what had cost them the Numemon. Angewomon fires another Holy Arrow, which Lady Devimon dodges by circling around Angewomon, laughing. Angewomon uses the momentary distraction to tell Angemon and Birdramon to leave Lady Devimon to her and focus on finding Matt, but Lady Devimon immediately land a kick to the small of her back. Angewomon is sent crashing into a cliff, cracking the rock surface and creating a small crater. Ladydevimon laughs mockingly while Angewomon clenches her first and shouts indignantly at Lady Devimon. Angewomon then erupts out of the cliff and delivers a furious uppercut to Lady Devimon's chin. Lady Devimon quickly recovers and counters with a vicious body blow against Angewomon's abdomen. Gasping, Angewomon staggers back, hands balling into fists and teeth clenching as she tries to endure the pain. Lady Devimon also disengages and strikes up a battle pose with a taunting roar.

Mimi and Jou's group follow harmonica's music to find Elecmon playing it. Elecmon states that now that the Village of Beginnings was in shambles he has no purpose in life. Elecmon asks how Takeru and Patamon were doing and Jou states that they are fine. Mimi asks Elecmon to join them stating that if the Dark Masters were defeated the Village of Beginnings would be restored. He's surprised at the thought of opposing the Dark Masters but after some thought agrees. Jou asks where he got the harmonica from. Elecmon says he found it on the beach. They confirm that it is Yamato's and Elecmon says he saw a swan boat go across the lake the previous night. Jou decides that it is his path to find Yamato and declines the other's offer to join him as it is their path to gather more Digimon.

Back with Taichi's group, Ladydevimon continues to overpower Angewomon with her battle-savvy, despite the type advantage that Angewomon enjoys as a Vaccine-type Archangel Digimon against Ladydevimon, who is a Virus-type Fallen Angel Digimon. Lady Devimon unleashes another Darkness Wave which Angewomon blocks. But while she's blocking it Lady Devimon sneaks up behind her and grabs her by the hair to spin her around in circles. Lady Devimon then laughs while Angewomon screamed. Alarmed, Kabuterimon super evolves into Atlur Kabuterimon to save Angewomon. Lady Devimon releases her grip on Angewomon's hair with a final, mighty swing, sending her hurtling uncontrollably through the air. MegaKabuterimon manages to catch Angewomon and asks her if she is okay, but Angewomon angrily snaps at him to let her go and stay out of the way. Angewomon then shoots out from MegaKabuterimon's hand like a bullet and lands a hard slap on Lady Devimon's face, cursing and challenging her rival to bring it on. Lady Devimon slaps Angewomon back, asking what was wrong with her, and the two exchange a flurry of slaps in rapid succession. Taichi, Koushirou, Agumon and Andromon watch on in shock and Koushirou remarks that women and scary when they get angry. Hikari angrily cheers on Angewomon, telling her not to lose, but, alas she did.

Ladydevimon defeats Angewomon in the catfight with a brutal roundhouse kick that sends Angewomon hurtling to the ground, where she lands with a devastating crash that sends up a billowing mushroom cloud of dust and creates an impact crater. Ladydevimon proclaims that the game is over and prepares to finish Angewomon off with her Darkness Spear. Stirring feebly and groaning in pain, Angewomon is forced to watch helplessly as Ladydevimon divebombs towards her, ready to impale her. However, MegaKabuterimon blocks Ladydevimon's Darkness Spear with his hard carapace at the last moment, saving Angewomon's life and breaking Ladydevimon's talons. Furious and unable to accept that her rival had defeated her in a one-on-one battle and forced her allies to save her twice, Angewomon again angrily shouts at MegaKabuterimon to get out of the way and not interfere. Angewomon then blasts LadyDevimon with Heaven's Charm while Ladydevimon is still distracted from the pain of having her nail broken by Kabuterimon's interception. Ladydevimon is finally defeated, crying out Piedmon's name.

Hikari cheers in victory as Angewomon and Atlur Kabuterimon devolve back to Tailmon and Tentomon. Tentomon then asks Koushirou if there are any marks on his back.

Taichi announces that someone is coming. He looks though his hand-held telescope to confirm that it is Piemon. Agumon warp evolves to War Greymon but Piemon only snickers as he walks casually toward them.
