With this and the aid of Dukemon’s comrades the D-Reaper is defeated.

Digimon Tamers: The Adventurers' Battle
An Omegamon was pursuing Apocalymon who took the form of Mephistomon. Once Mephistomon entered the real word Omnimon could not follow him either because he would then be going against laws pertaining to Digimon entering the real world (to prevent Digimon from harming humans, note: these laws if they exist were probably made by Digimon like the Sovereigns) or he was held back by a power which Mephistomon had defied to enter the real world. However he calls out to Henry and Rika stating that he "needs the help of the digidestined." Next thing they know Rika and Henry (along with Gargomon and Kyubimon) are transported to Omnimon's location where he informs them "that a digimon has entered the real world with the intent to destroy it". Rika took his words seriously even stating after seeing him effortlessly destroy a digimon that had tried to attack them that this digimon (Mephistomon) must be a powerful threat if someone as powerful as Omnimon is worried. When Mephistomon gloats that the real world and all that dwell in it will be destroyed, Omnimon contradicts him and sends Rika and Henry (along with their digimon) to Takato and Growlmon's location. He then tells them that he is rellying on them as the digidestined to destroy Mephistomon once and for all. In the end Mephistomon digivolves to Gulfmon but is destroyed by a combined attack from War Growlmon, Rappidmon and Taomon which pierces him through.

Digimon Frontier
Dynasmon and Rhodo Knightmon serve the Fallen Angel Digimon Lucemon in destroying and recreating the Digital World. After several skirmishes with the Frontier Chosen the two Royal Knights finally destroy the Digital World and revive their Master, only to be betrayed when Lucemon kills them and absorbs all the data they have collected.

Digimon Savers
The Royal Knights as a whole were originally viewed upon as being antagonists, due to being ordered to destroy the Human World under the command of Yggdrasil when the Digital World is set to collide with the Real World (however it is more likely that Yggdrasil ordered the attack because he viewed the humans as threats after the action of Kurata Akhiro especially after he caused a massacre of digimon, years previously after the expidition, created his own digimon: Gixmon to kill other digimon and using the lifeforce from the destroyed digimon to revive Belphmon (a digimon who was one of the 7 Great Demon Lords and nearly destroyed the digital world years ago) to rule both humans and digimon). However, later on in the series, some of them help out in saving the worlds from colliding.
