Dark Masters

The Dark Masters (ダークマスターズ Dku Masutzu) are four evil, Ultimate level Digimon from Digimon Adventure, who are extensions of Apocalymon. In the absence of the Chosen Children, the Dark Masters took over the Digital World and reformatted much of it into Spiral Mountain, making it easier for them to conquer.

Metal Seadramon
An arrogant and hot-tempered Digimon in control of the Digital World's seas, he commanded Digimon of the Deep Savers, including many Hangyomon and a particularly scatterbrained Anomalocarimon. He was extremely arrogant about his power, boasting an almost impenetrable defense because of his Chrome Digizoid armor. Unfortunately, he was at a type disadvantage against War Greymon's Dramon Destroyers and was ripped through lengthwise with his Brave Tornado.

Pinochimon
A very juvenile puppet Digimon, he commanded Digimon of the Wind Guardians and controlled the forest. He showed a special interest in Takeru, the youngest of the Chosen Children, challenging him to various games at his mansion. He is best known for toting around a .44 Magnum gun and killing several of his minions during temper tantrums. He was killed by Yamato's Metal Garurumon.

Mugendramon
Extremely calculating and uncaring, he ruled over Multitask City and commanded Digimon of the Metal Empire family. He had some of the highest offensive power of the group, being able to obliterate entire city blocks with the cannons on his back. Being a dragon type, he also fell to War Greymon's Dramon Destroyers.

Piemon
Piedmon is the leader of the Dark Masters, and the most powerful of them, to boot. A master swordsman, Piedmon can generate energy in numerous forms, such as bolts and waves, and has innumerable transmutation tricks up his sleeve, changing other things and beings into different forms. Cool, calculating and sophisticated, Piedmon is also capable of flight. It is known that Piedmon led an attack on the home base of the mysterious group charged with the DigiWorld's protection many years ago, and engaged Gennai in battle there. He successfully stole the Crests and Tags, but was unable to stop Gennai escaped with the Digi-Eggs and Digivices. When the DigiDestined did eventually arrive in the DigiWorld, their battles wound up bringing them back to Earth, to stop the plans of Myotismon. In the years (of DigiWorld time) that they were away, Piedmon, and the other Dark Masters - MetalSeadramon, Puppetmon and Machinedramon - rose up and conquered the digital world, reformatting it's digital matter into the massive Spiral Mountain. At the mountain's peak was Piedmon's base of operations - an observatory-like building, from which he could observe all goings on across Spiral Mountain. When the DigiDestined returned to the DigiWorld, the Dark Masters all attacked them at once. WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon battled Piedmon, but he cut them down with his Trump Sword attack. He then threw a dagger at Mimi, irritated by her whining, but Chuumon leapt in front of it, sacrificing himself. Piximon then showed up, and distracted the Dark Masters long enough for the kids to escape. Piedmon continued to observe the kids' battles with the other Dark Masters and their minions. When they arrived on the mountain's peak, his bodyguard, LadyDevimon, requested that she be allowed to deal with them. When she was destroyed by Angewomon, Piedmon himself emerged, and engaged WarGreymon in battle again. Matt and MetalGarurumon showed up to help him, but Piedmon had them on the ropes with his magical powers, and then used sorcery to transformed the two Digimon and their human partners into key chains. As the battle continued, all of the kids and their Digimon became key chains, until only T.K., Kari and Angemon were left. Angemon and Piedmon battled, but Piedmon bested him, then turned his attention to T.K. and Kari, hurling them from the top of his fortress. As they fell, T.K.'s Crest began to glow, and Angemon Digivolved into MagnaAngemon for the first time. MagnaAngemon and Piedmon fought, and MagnaAngemon was able to recover the key chains and turn everyone back to normal. Piedmon then called out his Vilemon horde, and the mother of all battles began. MagnaAngemon finished it by using his Gate of Destiny attack, using it to suck in all the Vilemon. WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon then blasted Piedmon through the portal, which slammed shut behind him, and dissolved, trapping him forever.
