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. His right hand, 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. They 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. 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 attacks the four with Darkness Wave, which knocks them back. Andromon attack her with Spiral Sword, but she swats it away effortlessly. Kabuterimon and Birdramon attack with Mega Blaster and Meteor Wing but she blocks them also and mocks them for it. Angemon attacks with Heaven's Knuckle but she dodges it. Angewomon attacks with Holy Arrow which nicks her, much to her annoyance. Lady Devimon retaliates by uppercutting Angewomon. 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 only to discover 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 and turns to Angemon, she tells him to leave it to her. He says he's counting on her as he and Birdramon fly off. Lady Devimon takes the opportunity to kick Angewomon in the back. In retaliation, Angewomon angrily uppercuts Lady Devimon, who counters with a punch to the stomach. Sora tells Taichi that she'll pass his words onto the others as they leave.

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 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. Kabuterimon super evolves into Atlur Kabuterimon. Lady Devimon throws Angewomon at Atlur Kabuterimon and he catches her, asking if she is okay. But Angewomon angrily tells him to let her go and she flies forward to continue her battle. They both engage in a catfight. Taichi, Koushirou, Agumon and Andromon watch on in shock and Koushirou remarks that women are scary when they get angry. Hikari cheers on Angewomon, telling her not to lose. But Lady Devimon gives Angewomon a kick to the face and downs her. She attempts to finish her with Darkness Spear, but Atlur Kabuterimon intercepts it and the spear breaks on his carapace. Angewomon orders him to get out of her way, which he does with an apology. Angewomon attacks Lady Devimon with Heaven's Charm, finishing Lady Devimon off. 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.
