Both Taichi and Agumon were confused and afraid.
That prevented Agumon from evolving.
Under Piccolomon's guidance, the two decided to combine their powers once again, and this brought back their ability to evolve.
However...
Another trial awaits them before they would be able to super-evolve to the Perfect Level.
Nanomon of the Labyrinth!
This?
Yes.
This is undoubtedly the network Etemon uses to figure out our location.
Th-Then maybe he's already detected that we're here!
We should make a run for it then!
Let's run, let's run!
Now now, calm down.
Even if we run from here, he'll sniff us out again sooner or later.
What are you doing?
Just as I suspected...
This is Etemon's network information.
Maybe I can find something else in here!
What's that mark?
E-mail?
But from who?
Think it could be from the enemy?
Open it, Koushiro.
Okay.
HELP ME!
"Help me?"
"If you help me, I will tell you where the Crests are hidden."
The Crests?
Who is this guy?
What in the world is going on here?!
Where are the Chosen Children?!
It's no use, Etemon-sama!
I don't see any malfunctioning here!
But there's an abnormality in the pyramid's host computer!
It must be Nanomon.
We're going to give him a little visit!
Yes, sir!
What do we do if it's the enemy's trap?
But he might turn out to be on our side, like Gennai-san.
We can't just ignore him when he needs our help.
It should be around here.
It's glowing!
It's close.
Takeru, over here!
This is it!
Your Crest!
I have my Crest!
That's great, Takeru!
Guess it wasn't a trap after all.
He said that he'll tell us where the last Crest is after we help him.
Okay!
Then let's go do that right away!
Look there!
There's no mistake!
These are the same characters I've seen before in Andromon's city and Kentarumon's ruins!
The only thing that's different is this symbol.
Just as I'd thought...
In here, energy is produced based on a program.
What do you mean?
In other words, by rewriting the program that's written on this wall here, I can turn the light on or off.
I think if I do this...
That's a map of the neighboring area.
N-No way...
You can do stuff like that just by using a program written on a wall?
It's not like we're inside a computer...
You don't know that.
I've been thinking that perhaps this place... this entire world, is a place where data and programs have taken physical form.
I remember you mentioned that before.
If this is a world of data, then does that include us too?
Yes.
We exist completely as data without any real substance.
No real substance?
You mean we don't have real flesh and blood?
Something like ghosts?
S-Something close to that.
Then...
Where are our real selves?
Perhaps...
Still on the campgrounds...
The Digimon are "Digital Monsters" in the truest sense.
They're life-forms shaped together from data.
Then are we inside something like a video game?
It's not as simple as that...
Could the person who sent that e-mail be made of data too?
I'm not sure...
What's wrong?
P-Please wait a minute!
I'll make it easier for you guys to understand.
I've adjusted it so you can see the entire globe.
This includes the program I saw in Andromon's city...
If I combine that with the map Gennai-san sent me...
It's a big world.
It's about as wide as Earth.
Actually, it's exactly the same.
HELP ME!
Look at this e-mail address.
The computer that sent this e-mail is located...
Over there!
That's the same place as a homepage that I visited frequently on the Internet!
LP ME!
What does that mean?
Are you saying the e-mail came from our world?
That's not all.
Over on the right is the Earth we know of.
If you put our computer network system on top of this world...
The shape of the networks is exactly the same!
So what does this all mean?
This is a world that's only made of data.
It's the same as what you would find in a video game or a computer.
But that doesn't mean we're somewhere far from Earth.
We're inside our own computer network itself!
In other words, this Digimon world is in the same place as our world...
You could even call it the Earth's shadow!
The Earth's...
Shadow...?
This...
This was Earth?!
Can we get home really soon then?
No.
It's not like that.
We're really close, but we're not on Earth itself.
Now I'm confused more than ever on what to do.
Oh, what are you talking about?
You've got me!
Sora.
I couldn't understand much of it, but does this mean you're leaving?
No.
It appears we still have stuff to do in this world,
so we can't leave until we've finished that.
Yeah.
Anyway, we should save the guy who sent the e-mail first.
Where do we go next, Koushiro?
Well...
If I run the program that came attached to the e-mail...
The wall!
I can see outside!
What just happened?
The sender should be outside there!
He was this close to us?
No.
Apparently, that program serves to warp and connect airspace.
That's...
It's Etemon!
I've come to punish you, Nanomon.
Taichi.
It's time to change shifts.
Thank goodness.
I was starting to get tired.
Good night.
Me too.
Guess I'll sleep to prepare for tomorrow.
I'm sorry, Taichi.
In the end...
You're going through all of this trouble just for my Crest, right?
That's how it ended up.
Anyway, I'm not the type of guy who turns his back on someone in trouble.
You're not acting like yourself, Sora.
If it was your Crest that we'd found first, would you be bothered about this as you are now?
I doubt I would have even thought of it.
See?
Besides, we're just data right now.
No point in thinking about this seriously.
If we return to our own world,
do you think we'll remember our experiences and the Digimon we've met in this world?
Who knows...
Well, let's see...
Even though I said we are digitalized...
Our data is pretty bulky and elaborate.
Considering the large amount of our data that's been shifted into this world,
it should cause feedback when we return to our own world.
So in other words, we should still treat ourselves as if we have real bodies, right?
It's better to think that way.
Then, just like I thought, we shouldn't act irresponsibly just because we're data now.
Hey!
What are you doing over there?
Hurry up!
We're coming!
There's a hidden passageway in the pyramid that's normally not visible.
Our first and foremost priority is to save the sender and get Sora-kun's Crest.
Do not get yourselves involved in any unnecessary battles!
Yeah, yeah, I know.
I wanted to go too.
Don't be selfish, Takeru.
Be careful, everyone.
Keep steady.
Things will be all right!
Well, we'll be back soon!
Come back safely!
The hidden passageway should be up ahead on this side of the pyramid.
What's wrong, Taichi?
It's Etemon!
Who's there?
What do we do, Sora?
Don't talk.
Am I hearing things?
I don't know why, but I feel like someone was making fun of me!
I'm so irritated!
I'll go sing a song or something to amuse myself.
He's gone.
It's all right now.
Don't act stupid!
What if he found us?!
But we're perfectly fine!
So this is the hidden passageway.
It looks like it has data on the outside, but there's really nothing in it.
Let me see!
Oww...
Everything besides the passageway is made up of data, so please be careful.
We can see outside from here.
Yes.
But no one can see us from the other side.
It's Gazimon.
Keep quiet.
Hey, what was that for?!
What?
Don't play dumb!
You just kicked me!
No, I didn't.
What a barefaced lie!
Take that!
What are you doing?
Why did you do that?
What if they found out it was you?!
Sora-kun, keep your voice down.
You worry too much, Sora.
We're just data, you know.
Taichi, you...!
Sora-kun!
Is there electricity running through this, or is it just me?
The section that acts as a hidden entryway should only have harmless data in it.
So that means everything else is really electrified...?
You look scared, Jyou.
Of course I am!
You're too timid, Jyou.
So?
Where's the entrance?
Um...
Over here.
Okay.
What are you guys doing?
Hurry up!
Here's our destination.
Here?
That's...
I'm pretty sure it's Nanomon.
He's a very smart Digimon.
Nanomon
Perfect
Machine Digimon
Type
Virus
Special Attack
Plug Bomb
Nanomon.
A Perfect Level Machine Digimon who, no matter what computer system he's up against, will reconstruct it with his fine techniques.
Could that Digimon be the one who sent the e-mail?
That's exactly right, Chosen Children.
I see!
He's sending data directly through my IR port!
I once fought with Etemon long ago and was crushed.
My broken body was left sealed here.
On top of having my ability to formulate stolen, I was given the job of supervising Etemon's network system.
But one day, I recovered my memories and began to slowly repair my body in a way Etemon wouldn't notice.
Soon I learned of everything that happened outside,
and I became able to meddle with that information.
However... I'll need a considerable amount of outside help to release me from confinement.
Do you really know where my Crest is?
Of course.
I know many things that Etemon himself has not even heard of!
Can we really trust him?
Both you and I share Etemon as our enemy.
Please trust me.
Okay then.
Well, what should we do?
Follow my orders.
Taichi-san!
Please pull down that lever!
Right-5.
Left-8.
That's it, keep going...
Push the button, and then...
Taichi-san, pull up the lever again!
That should open up his prison!
Okay.
Hold it!
Etemon!
It's only natural that we'd catch you after all you've done.
We have surveillance cameras here, you know!
How dare you...
Do that to us!
Ah, they found out.
Because of you, Taichi!
My network began acting funny ever since the children landed here.
That was you, wasn't it?
I finished my maintenance just before they arrived.
Taichi!
Agumon, evolve!
Greymon!
Tentomon, evolve!
Kabuterimon!
Piyomon, evolve!
Birdramon!
Gomamon, evolve!
Ikkakumon!
Anyone can run and give up
Nigetari akirameru koto wa daremo
You're in the way!
When given a second, so let's keep on walking instead
Isshun areba dekiru kara arukitsuzukeyou
You should see for yourself how powerful you've made this prison!
There's something only you can do
Kimi ni shika dekinai koto ga aru aoi hoshi ni
Piyomon!
What are you doing?!
So that this blue planet doesn't lose its light
Hikari ga nakusenu you ni
I have no more use for you!
That's the kind of guy Nanomon is.
Seize the dreams you painted!
Tsukame! egaita yume wo
Blabber all you want.
Plug Bomb!
Protect your beloved friends!
Mamore! daiji na tomo wo
Dark Spirits!
Then you can become stronger
Takumashii jibun ni nareru sa
Yamato, look!
They're fighting!
Unknown power dwells in your heart
Shiranai pawaa ga yadoru
When its fire is lit
haato ni hi ga tsuitara
Piyomon!
Even your wishes, it's true,
Donna negai mo uso ja nai
I win again.
The only thing you're good at is fighting, monkey!
Will surely be granted, so...
Kitto kanau kara...
Show me your brave heart
Once I use their true power, your death is guaranteed!
Prepare yourself!
Wait!
Sora!
TAICHI!
He escaped through the hidden passageway!
I'm sure...
That area is where her voice came from...
Wait!
I have to make sure of the location first!
We're just data, remember?
If I make a mistake, I can just start over!
Stop him!
Okay!
Hey!
Let me go!
Sora is...!
Taichi-san, you can't be thinking that just because you're data,
you're free to act like a video game character, are you?
Am I wrong?
Completely!
It's exactly the same as if we're living and breathing here.
If you die here...
You'll really die.
What?
N-No way!
It can't be...
I never thought I'd really die...
Taichi...
The hidden passageway is one meter from your right.
Wh-What's wrong with me?
Sora's in danger!
No good...
Taichi...
He's too strong for us...
Now that it's come to this,
I'll just kill you first!
Chiku-Chiku Bang Bang!
Fox Fire!
Guys! You all okay?
Let's run while they distract him!
Taichi, hurry up!
What? This isn't enough to take me down!
Huh?
Where did you go?
I see...
Sora and Piyomon were kidnapped...
Damn it...
Damn it...!
