As Crusadermon and Dynasmon send more fractal codes to Lucemon, the Gotsumon who gave Koji his Beast Spirit is protecting the sacred jewels from a group of Knightmon. He is of course no match for them, but the gang comes to his rescue. Koichi, Koji, and Tommy Spirit Evolve and then join Takuya/BurningGreymon, JP/Beetlemon, and Zoe/Kazemon in battle. However, Crusadermon suddenly appears and destroys the Olmec-like heads, freeing the jewels. Dynasmon grabs them and destroys them, revealing the area's fractal code. He then takes it, and the gang hovers above the missing ground. However, they are shocked to see Crusadermon and Dynasmon not caring about the Knightmon, who plummet.
Dynasmon states that there are only three areas left to scan: the forest, the ice, and the light. Once Lucemon has all the data, he will awaken. After the evil duo vanishes into thin air, Gotsumon collapses at the sight of the nothingness that used to be his home. He later awakens on a bench and thanks the gang for saving his life. He then tells them that they need to stop the Royal Knights. They agree, and Gotsumon demands that he join them.
As the gang heads for the Forest Terminal, Tommy realizes that the fractal code is probably inside Seraphimon's castle. It seems that Tommy's hunch is right, as Crusadermon and Dynasmon have a group of Knightmon trying to break into the castle. However, a powerful shield prevents them from entering. The two Royal Knights then try to enter from the sky, leaving the Knightmon below. Meanwhile, the gang is hiding in a tree, watching. They prepare to do battle, but Koji informs them that he will stop the Knightmon. The rest of them need to keep their eyes on the Royal Knights. After Koji Unified Spirit Evolves, he and Gotsumon attack.
In the sky, Crusadermon reveals that barriers such as the one surrounding the castle are usually weakest at its top. The two repeatedly attack it, weakening the shield. Takuya sees this and prepares to Unified Spirit Evolve, but his D-Tector suddenly activates. He aims it at the barrier, opening a temporary hole. Meanwhile, Koji/MagnaGarurumon and Gotsumon defeat all the Knightmon, but their enemies suddenly regenerate! Crusadermon then appears and states that they can't destroy the Knightmon. Koji/MagnaGarurumon removes his armor and attacks the Royal Knight.
Inside the castle, Takuya's D-Tector leads the gang to a statue of the Three Celestial Digimon, which is actually the fractal code. However, Dynasmon finally manages to break the barrier, but he destroys the castle in the process! The kids suddenly find themselves surrounded by light. The statue is still there, as well as Sorcermon! As he dies, he tells them that he has protected the castle with the last of his strength. The light disappears along with the digimon, leaving the gang in a crater. Since Sorcermon saved them twice, Takuya states that they have to fight twice as hard to save the Digital World. Dynasmon flies down into the crater and challenges Takuya, who then Unified Spirit Evolves.
Elsewhere, Gotsumon watches helplessly as Koji/MagnaGarurumon fights Crusadermon. His urge to help his friend causes him to digivolve into Meteormon! Crusadermon then summons the Knightmon, who Meteormon easily destroys. However, Dynasmon manages to land a hit on the statue and then starts taking the area's fractal code! Takuya/EmperorGreymon and Koji/MagnaGarurumon want to finally defeat the Royal Knights, but Crusadermon attacks Meteormon, reverting him back into Gotsumon. Gotsumon and the rest of the gang begin sinking as the fractal code disappears, leaving Takuya/EmperorGreymon and Koji/MagnaGarurumon with the choice of either fighting the knights or saving their friends. They choose the latter, so Crusadermon and Dynasmon fly away with the area's fractal code.
Later, the gang departs in a Trailmon while the injured Gotsumon stays behind so that he won't get in the way.
