Upon arriving into a strange area, Tyrone, Sean, and Mistiomon were searching for the Sea Palace, the place where Neptunemon stays. They tried following a stream as they thought it would lead them to the palace. Siramon was close as well and was trying to stop them from reaching the palace. VoltWolfmon did his best to fight her off, but she was a pretty tough one. The fight did lead them to the Sea Palace and they were able to get Siramon out of the way. However, before they could go inside, Sibegermon showed up and it doesn't seem like he's going to let them pass.

Digimon
While the three of them were separated from the rest of the group, everyone else continued their search for them. With Meramon as Kaz's partner, he joins them in their quest.
"It doesn't look like there's anything here either." Sarah said. "Where could they be?"
"We can't lose faith. I'm sure we'll find them soon." Angemon said.
"Angemon's right. If they're out there, we'll find them." Louie said. All of them continued searching, but it was hard for some of them.
"This is getting hard and boring." Kenny said. "I'm starting to think this is hopeless. Tyrone and Sean could be anywhere and we have no idea where the Ten Seas are. I'm starting to think we should just head home."
"No way! You're just upset that you don't have a digimon yet." Kaz said. "Besides, we're not going to leave Tyrone and Sean behind. It's all for one and one for all!"
"I know I've come into this late, but Kaz is right. We can't give up on finding your friends." Meramon said.
"Never thought I hear someone say that Kaz is right or that he would actually make sense." Rachel said.
"Goes to show you anything can happen in the digital world." Bumblemon said.
"I really hope we find Tyrone soon." Dragmon said as he was getting upset about being so far from Tyrone and is getting worried about him. "Angemon, you're an angel. Can't you just like bring us to him or something?"
"That's….not how it works." Angemon said.
"Come on, guys." Julie said. "We'll find Tyrone and the others. Let's just hope that wherever they are, they're safe." They all hoped so, but they have no idea of the trouble they are in right now.
…
The Sea Palace
Sibergmon was able to find all three of them. Sibegermon is much stronger than any of the Ten Seas and the fact that he's really Ligermon doesn't help. They're not sure if they can really find him.
"I finally found you guys and this time, you're not escaping." Sibegermon said.
"Sibegermon, why are you doing this?" Tyrone said. "You were once Ligermon and, even if you were a little rude, obnoxious, and a bit of a troublemaker, I thought that deep down, you considered us your friends. You really intend on fighting and destroying us?"
"Sorry, kid. It's nothing personal. It's just business." Sibegermon said.
"It's no use." Mistiomon said. "Ligermon's lust for power has blinded him. He's made a deal he shouldn't have and now it seems like he's going through with it." Mistiomon stepped forward as he saw there was no choice, but to do this.
"Mistiomon, are you really going to fight him?" Sean said.
"We have no choice. He's what's standing between us and Neptunemon." Mistiomon said. "He's also not going to back down from this." As they saw this going on, Tyrone kept thinking about what Wisemon said.
'Digimon are always fighting. Maybe it's in their program to fight.' Tyrone thought. As he saw this going on, it was like Tyrone was losing any emotion and care he had for digimon.
"I suppose you're right. Sibegermon, this is your only chance. Stand aside. We don't want to hurt you." Sean said.
"Yeah right." Sibegermon said. "I've been waiting for this for a long time and I'm not giving it up."
"Fine." Sean said as he pulled out his D-3. "Digi-Armor Energize!"
"Mistiomon armor digivolve to….WereFlamemon!"
"Oh yeah! Come on, wolfy. Come at me!" Sibegermon said as he wanted to fight. WereFlamemon gave him what he wanted as he was the first to attack. WereFlamemon was about to strike him, but Sibegermon easily knocked him away and caused WereFlamemon to slide against the ground.
"WereFlamemon!" Sean called in concern.
"He knocked him down like it was nothing!" Tyrone said.
"Come on. Don't think I'm going to make this easy. I want you to come at me with everything you've got. I've got a lot of new power that I want to try out." Sibegermon said. He's letting his new power take him over and he wants to use as much as he can. As the fight was going on, Siramon watched from the palace.
'I knew it was a good idea to have him take this.' Siramon thought. 'While it is admirable for WereFlamemon to fight, he doesn't stand a chance. Sibegermon is a mega and I don't think any of their digimon have reached that level yet. They're outmatched this time.' WereFlamemon tried to get back up, but that one move did some damage to him.
"I can't believe how strong Ligermon's become." WereFlamemon said.
"And I'm only going to get stronger. I'll be the strongest and no one can stop me!" Sibegermon said.
"Tiger Lightning!" Sibegermon unleashed a blast of white lightning from his claws and blasted WereFlamemon and WereFlamemon took even more damage as that lightning was fierce and powerful.
"Once this battle is over, I'll absorb your data! Doing that will allow me to grow even stronger!" Sibegermon said.
"Absorb his data?!" Sean said as that thought scared him. "If he does that, Mistiomon will be gone forever!"
"He's gotten a taste of a lot of power and now all he wants is more of it!" Tyrone said. "I can't believe that's really the Ligermon we use to know." WereFlamemon tried to stand back up, but it wasn't doing any good as he took a lot of damage.
"What's the matter? Finished already? I was expecting more out of you." Sibegermon said as he walked closer to him. It seemed like this fight was already over and there's nothing Sean or Tyrone can do to stop it.
"No. He can't do this, but there's nothing I can do." Tyrone said as he felt so helpless. "Dragmon!" He shouted at the top of his lungs in hopes that some sort of miracle can happen.
…..
Dragmon
Somehow, Dragmon could hear Tyrone's cry. When he did, he instantly knew the danger he and the others were in right now.
"Dragmon? Is something wrong?" Sarah asked.
"It's Tyrone! I heard him!" Dragmon said.
"I didn't hear anything." Ninmon said as all of them were confused as to how Dragmon heard Tyrone.
"I heard him. I know I did, but he's in trouble." Dragmon said and ran ahead of them. "Tyrone's in trouble and we've got to get to him now!"
"Dragmon, wait!" Julie said as they all went after him. They tried to keep up with him, but the wind started to pick up in speed and they could see another data cyclone was forming. "Oh no! Another data cyclone!"
"We must take shelter!" Angemon said.
"No! Tyrone is on the other side of that!" Dragmon said.
"What?! That's crazy!" Bumblemon said. "Dragmon, the data cyclone could take us anywhere. There's no way it will take us right to Tyrone and the others."
"It will! I know it!" Dragmon said as he raced right to it. All of them were worried about Dragmon and chased after him as they all went inside the data cyclone. Dragmon might be crazy, but maybe not as crazy as they think.
…
The Sea Palace
Sibegermon kicked WereFlamemon back and it looks like it was the end for him. All Sean and Tyrone can do is watch in horror.
"Well, it was nice knowing you." Sibegermon said.
"Please don't do it!" Sean begged. Sibegermon was about to finish WereFlamemon off, but he stopped himself as he saw a couple other attacks coming his way. Sibegermon jumped back and avoided the attacks. All of them looked and saw all the others were able to find them. "Guys!"
"Sean! Tyrone! Are you two okay?!" Louie said.
"Yeah! We're glad to see you guys again!" Tyrone said.
"Tyrone!" Dragmon shouted as he jumped right in Tyrone's arms. "I missed you."
"Yeah. Me too." Tyrone said, but it didn't really sounded sincere.
"Hold on. What's Meramon doing here?" Sean asked.
"Duh! He's my partner!" Kaz boasted. Sean couldn't believe it.
"I think we should talk about it later. He doesn't look that happy." Meramon said. All of them turned to Sibegermon.
"So your buddies came and found you. Good. I can take all of you out together now." Sibegermon said.
"Sarah, stay back." Angemon said as he was ready to protect her. Sarah didn't like this considering who Sibegermon really was.
"Ligermon, why are you doing this? I thought we were friends." Sarah said.
"I'm not Ligermon!" Sibegermon shouted. "Ligermon was a weakling! I'm Sibegermon now and I'm strong!"
"It's no use. He's gone mad with power." Sean said.
"So we fight. Not that big of a deal. We'll just take him down like we did with the others that tried to fight us." Rachel said as she and Bumblemon were ready to fight. Sibegermon wasn't intimidated at all.
"Tiger Lightning!" Sibegermon unleashed another attack. He blasted near all of them and knocked some of them down.
"I guess the Ligermon we really know is gone. I guess we really are going to have to fight him." Dragmon said. "We're doomed if we don't defend ourselves. Come on, Tyrone. We've got to do something."
"Right." Tyrone said as he grabbed his digivice, but he suddenly remembered again what Wisemon told him. A digivice was also like a connection between digimon and humans. It's formed when a connection between partners is made. If what Wisemon said is true and digimon are just bits of data following what their programmed for, does that mean the bond Tyron he thought they had is a lie?
"Tyrone, what's wrong? I've got to digivolve to stop Sibegermon?" Dragmon said.
"Tyrone, now is not the time to hesitate!" Julie said. Tyrone snapped out of it, but his doubts got in the way. He was still able to have Dragmon digivolve.
"Dragmon digivolve to….Roarmon!"
Roarmon flew right in at Sibegermon. He tried striking him with his claw, but Sibegermon was able to grab the claw and didn't even move back. He slammed Roarmon against the ground and tossed him back.
"I think someone had one too many donuts." Sibegermon said. "I was hoping you guys put up more of a fight. Too bad." Sibegermon walked closer to them and all of them were starting to get scared. Sarah grabbed a hold of Julie and Julie held her tight.
"Julie, what do we do?" Sarah said.
"I'm not sure." Julie said.
"We'll protect you!" Ninmon said as all the digimon stepped forward ready to defend their partners.
"Don't make me laugh!" Sibegermon said as he unleashed more lightning and pushed them all back. Sibegermon gave off a sinister smirk as he was set to end this, but WereFlamemon wouldn't allow it.
"That's enough!" WereFlamemon said.
"Wolf Burner!" WereFlamemon formed the flaming wolf heads around his fists and was able to pound Sibegermon across the face a couple times, but Sibegermon was able to grab him and hit him pretty hard and WereFlamemon was knocked down.
"I guess I'll start with you." Sibegermon said.
"Don't touch him!" Roarmon said as he raced over to try and stop him, but Sibegermon jumped up to him and pounded him across the face and knocked him down again.
"Oh man. This doesn't seem fun anymore." Kenny said.
"You can say that again. Sibegermon is brutal." Kaz said.
"That's it!" Tyrone shouted. "I don't care anymore on who he use to be. He's nothing, but a monster now. Roarmon, take him down and take him out!"
"Tyrone?!" Julie said as she couldn't believe he said that. It was like any emotional connection he had for digimon was fading away and it didn't help seeing Sibegermon act so vicious.
"I'll be right with you, once I'm done with him." Sibegermon said as he went over to WereFlamemon. "Any last words, wolf face?"
"Ligermon, please…" WereFlamemon said as he tried to reach to the little digimon he believed was still in there.
"I'm not Ligermon anymore." Sibegermon said.
"Don't let your desire for power blind you!" WereFlamemon said.
"Shut up!" Sibegermon said and was unleashing all his fury on a defenseless WereFlamemon.
"Oh no!" Sean said as he could only watch this. "WereFlamemon, you've got to get away! Your other forms aren't powerful enough to take him! I can't do anything! I don't have anything that can help!" Sibegermon beat WereFlamemon around as he unleashed all his frustration and it seemed like it would be the end for him.
"Nice knowing you." Sibegermon said. He was ready to finish this, but he felt someone grabbed his wrists and saw it was Angemon.
"Angemon!" Sarah shouted as she was worried on what might happen to him.
"I don't know who you are, but I can see that you're desire for power has clouded your judgement." Angemon said.
"What do you know?" Sibegermon said. Angemon fought back as he pounded him across the face.
"You fool." Angemon said. "To have strength is not to have power. To have power is to be strong."
"What does that mean?" Sibegermon said.
"You may have strength, but all you desire is more power." Angemon said. "It's not enough to have a desire for power. You need to have a reason for wanting to have power. That reason to have power will make you strong, but it has to be the right reasons. If all you desire is strength to have power, you are sent to have a doom faith."
"You don't know anything!" Sibegermon said.
"Do what you like to me, but I won't allow you to harm these children." Angemon said. "They don't believe you are a callous being that craves power."
"Oh no?! I'll show you I'll do anything for power!" Sibegermon shouted as he placed his claw against Angemon.
"Ever Suffering!" Angemon got electrocuted and that electricity coursed through every bit of his being. All of them were horrified at what they were seeing. Angemon was blown away as he slid against the ground.
"Angemon!" Sarah shouted as she ran to him.
"No!" WereFlamemon said as he tried to attack him again, but Sibegermon kicked him back and he was forced to change back into Mistiomon.
"Mistiomon!" Sean called as he hurried to his side.
"Angemon! Angemon, wake up! Wake up, please!" Sarah said, but Angemon wasn't moving or doing anything and his body felt cold. Sibegermon actually laughed at this.
"Sorry, kid." Sibegermon said. "That attack will have Angemon asleep for a long, long time. That will make it easier for me to finish him and absorb his data. Then again, I could just leave him like that. He might never wake up. He'll never find peace or anything. He'll be in pain like that, possibly forever. He's nothing more than an old rag doll now."
"No…" Sarah said as tears formed in her eyes and she didn't hold them back. It was like Angemon is really gone even though his body is right there.
"You were wrong, Angemon. To have strength is to have power." Sibegermon said. "I'll keep growing stronger until no one is stronger than me. You hear me?! No one!"
"But Angemon was trying to help and you just…." Roarmon said and was getting really angry. As was Tyrone.
"That's it!" Tyrone shouted. "You'll pay for this! You'll pay!" Tyrone unleashed more energy and it caused Roarmon to digivolve to MetalRoarmon, both filled with rage.
"Sarah!" Julie called out as she raced over to her. "Come on. We better move out of the way." She grabbed her, but Sarah just shoved her away and continued to cry.
"Julie, something's going on!" Ninmon said. All of them watched, but this was getting scary.
"Nice look, but you're still no match for me." Sibegermon said.
"Wrong. You're finished." Tyrone said. MetalRoarmon charged right in and slammed his claws down, but Sibegermon jumped out of the way. "Destroy him! Tear him apart!"
"Tyrone, what's gotten into you?" Julie said as she couldn't believe he said that. MetalRoarmon went at him and tried to take a bite out of him, but Sibegermon slashed against him and knocked him down.
"You can't lose! I order you to digivolve!" Tyrone shouted. "Digivolve to mega now!" He held out his digivice and it glowed an ominous red. MetalRoarmon shined red and it appeared to be working.
"He's digivolving!" Rachel said.
"No! Something's wrong!" Bumblemon said.
"What's happening to him?!" Sean said as all of them were concerned. It appeared that MetalRoarmon did digivolve. His form changed as he was a giant with a broad body and claws. He had red wings that acted like a cape. What's more is that his body turned a dark black.
"Yes. Mega." Tyrone said. Dragmon's new form unleashed a terrifying roar and it didn't seem like the Dragmon they knew anymore.
