Ben Oldman's talking mugshot

Professor Hyotto told Akira to go to Ben Oldman for the Archive Ship, as he knew a lot about the old days though he was hard to deal with.

As he didn't know where said man was, Akira went back to his Leader (Vandar, Cecilia or Skull) and told them about him. The Leader pointed out Ben Oldman was a previous Blue Falcon Leader and weren't surprised he'd know about the Archive Ship. However, they also didn't know where Ben Oldman was, but believed someone must.

After saving Lin Lin Shao in Buffer Hole, Akira asked her about Ben Oldman. To that, she explained that he lived all alone and refused to move to Digital City despite her insistence about it, then sent Akira his address, Archive Port.

There, Akira met with Ben Oldman. After explaining who he was and how he knew about him, Akira asked him about the Archive Ship. Ben Oldman refused to answer to someone he didn't know, even after Akira explained that his life was in danger as the Blood Knights were looking for it too, so instead Ben Oldman challenged Akira to fight him in Old Hole, a Hole with only a single floor and only Ben Oldman himself as an enemy. There, the elder praised Akira's guts, which he thought uncommon in present kids, and promised to apologize if Akira could defeat him.

Ben Oldman is the boss of Old Hole. He uses a team of Centalmon, Metal Mamemon and Meramon. During this fight, Centalmon can use Hunting Cannon, Metal Mamemon can use Energy Bomb and Meramon can use Burning Fist and Meteor Squall.

After their fight, Ben Oldman asked Akira his name and, as he promised, apologized for insulting him, blaming his competitive nature, then told Akira to go back to Archive Port, where he'd tell him everything and watch him grow. There, Ben Oldman whined about losing to a kid but honoured his promise, explaining that the Archive Ship was a huge turtle Digimon in the big junk pile, too damaged to work. Akira couldn't understand why the Blood Knights were so interested in that and Ben Oldman didn't know either, though he guessed it may be because the Archive Ship had many old items so there may be something useful there. Ben Oldman then told Akira to call the security guards from the City to guard the place and gave him the data of a Hole Crimson had discovered when he was a Guard Tamer, guessing he may be there. Akira thanked Ben Oldman and saluting him, making him nostalgic as no one had done that for him for a long time, when he was the Blue Falcon Leader.

After clearing said Hole, Ergono Hole, the security guard of Akira's Guard Team alerted Akira about how the Blood Knights had attacked Archive Port and injured Ben Oldman. In fear, Akira immediately went to Archive Port, where a Blue Falcon Tamer told him that Ben Oldman had gone to the City to meet with the Guard Team Leaders. Akira was glad he was fine and went back to the City, where the same security guard admonished him for rushing off without letting him finish talking, then explained that Ben Oldman had only gotten minor injuries and was talking with their Leader now. Akira entered the Leader's Room, where Ben Oldman explained that he was too tough to let the Blood Knights harm him but they had stolen the Navi-Disk from the Pilot Radar system, which the Leader explained held all the navigation map data from File Island to Directory Continent, which meant that the Blood Knights could now find where File Island was. Akira thought File Island was a myth but the Leader explained that it existed and it was where their ancestors escaped from after losing to the evil prince of the Wild Digimon. They then arrived to Directory Continent, where they formed Guard Teams and started training Tamers to retake File Island. Akira didn't understand why the Blood Knights would be interested in returning to File Island, which the Leader admitted they didn't know, but they could find out by interrogating Crimson personally, as they now knew he was in Decode Hole, where Akira was to go to capture Crimson.

Afterwards, Akira apologized to his Leader and Ben Oldman for failing to capture Crimson. Both agreed he would get more chances, with Ben Oldman adding he just needed to go to File Island, which he could do by fixing the Emergency Pod of the Archive Ship using the Ship Key, the stolen Navi-Disk, and three other Ship Parts. Luckily, not only did Akira get the Navi-Disk from Crimson, he had also obtained the Ship Parts earlier in a Hole, though he didn't know what they were as they were very old. With that known, Akira promised to find the Ship Key. The Leader thought that, if said key was in a Hole, other Digimon may know about it, while Ben Oldman decided to return to Archive Port to prepare the Pod Ship.

With the Ship Key in hand, Akira went to Archive Port. Ben Oldman took him to the control room to begin the start up sequence. The launch succeeded and the Archive Ship arrived somewhere else, though Ben Oldman couldn't be sure it was File Island as they used the Auto-Navigation System, so Akira decided to check out the area while Ben Oldman set up the Teleport Gate to connect to Archive Port.
