Previously on Revolution of the DigiDestined:

Hikari with you, didn't we have a few surprises in the previous episode? Patamon advanced into Lucemon. Lucemon and Takeru biomerged into Seraphimon and defeated Puppetmon. I and Gatomon went after Daisuke and Veemon and caught up with them. Ogremon suddenly appeared, severely injured. Daisuke and Veemon are dealing with Woodmon. Metal Etemon appeared in front of the others and the group ran away.

Puppetmon is defeated and two more dark masters to go. Next is Machinedramon. Is the forest going to get deleted right away? Many events aren't finished yet. On with the conclusion...

Lucemon looked up into the sky.

"What now?" Takeru asked.

Lucemon shook his head. "I don't know. The forest isn't getting deleted, that's weird."

"We should look for the others." Takeru suggested.

"Excellent idea." Lucemon agreed.

"Maybe biomerging again?" Takeru asked.

Lucemon blinked. "You liked that?"

"It felt nice and right to be one with my copedam." Takeru replied.

"We'd be faster as one anyways." Lucemon smiled.

"Ascend to Power!" Takeru yelled.

"LUCEMON BIOMERGE!"
"... SERAPHIMON!"

Seraphimon blasted off into the sky and started his search for his friends...

"Through here." A voice whispered.

Mimi was the closest to the bushes and she jumped at the voice. Saber Leomon's face appeared out of it.

"Saber Leomon - Mate Ancient Animal Meric - Saber Leomon is Leomon's mate form. He's less strong than Leomon but with faster speed. He got to mate and is going to stay at it - His attacks are: Howling Crusher and Twin Fang."

"Name's Saber Leomon. It's O.K. Through here to escape Metal Etemon's sight, hurry!" Saber Leomon urged.

He moved aside for them. Mimi and Palmon were the first to go in. Taichi and Agumon were the last. They all saw Metal Etemon running pass them. They all sighed. Saber Leomon sniffed. He frowned.

"Only three of you got to mate and none biomerged. The mate level you can get to is normal." Saber Leomon shook his head.

Koushiro blinked. "What do you mean?"

"The voyager and his or her copedam come together or biomerge to form their copedam's mate form, as one." Saber Leomon explained.

"Interesting." Koushiro remarked, thoughtfully.

"Intriguing indeed." Osamu agreed.

"Come, it's not safe here." Saber Leomon urged.

"We still need to defeat Puppetmon." Yamato reminded.

"Puppetmon is defeated." Saber Leomon replied.

The group stopped, blinking.

"He is? How?" Joe asked.

"Takeru and his copedam defeated him as one." Saber Leomon replied.

Yamato's jaw dropped. "Are you saying that Takeru and his copedam biomerged?"

"Precisely. To form one mate. He's looking for us now. We need to leave the forest pronto! The forest could get deleted at any time soon." Saber Leomon exclaimed.

"What are we waiting here for then? Let's head on!" Gomamon decided.

"We'll need to head to the city and all of you need to face Machinedramon." Saber Leomon explained.

They continued on their way.

"What about Takeru?" Yamato asked.

"What about Hikari and Daisuke?" Taichi asked.

"Seraphimon is the biomerged form of Lucemon and Takeru. Lucemon would explain everything once he finds us. Seraphimon would gain on us and leave the forest with us, don't worry. As for Hikari and Daisuke, they and their copedam have a mission of their own before leaving the forest. I guess the forest would get deleted once they're gone." Saber Leomon explained.

"A mission?" Biyomon asked.

"Defeating Metal Etemon. They're up for it alright. What we need to worry about is getting you guys to biomerge rightfully with your copedam." Saber Leomon explained.

"Let's hope they can handle it." Ken sighed...

"Vee Laser!" Ex Veemon yelled.

He vaporized some Woodmon.

"They'll overrun us before we get any chance." Daisuke exclaimed.

"Up a level?" Ex Veemon suggested.

"Just what I was thinking." Daisuke nodded.

"EX VEEMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."
"... STEALTH VEEMON!"

"Now we're getting somewhere. This is going to be quicker and easier. Victory Blasters!" Stealth Veemon yelled.

He vaporized a third of the Woodmon. The rest withdrew.

"We need to get Ogremon to a hospital." Hikari commented.

"Stealth Veemon can't do it alone." Gatomon hinted.

"I got your point." Hikari smiled.

"GATOMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."
"... ANGEWOMON!"

"I'll deal with Ogremon." Stealth Veemon offered.

"I'll deal with Hikari and Daisuke then." Angewomon nodded.

Stealth Veemon carried Ogremon on his back; Angewomon carried Hikari and Daisuke on her back. The two took to the skies.

"I think we should stay low on profile." Stealth Veemon suggested.

"I'm with you on that." Angewomon nodded.

They flew lower between the trees. During the ride, Ogremon was mysteriously cured while on Stealth Veemon's back...

"We are faster with transport." Saber Leomon suggested.

"We got your point! Ascend to Power!" Koushiro yelled.

"TENTOMON BIOMERGE!"
"... HERCULES KABUTERIMON!"

Taichi and Yamato blinked.

"We're one." Hercules Kabuterimon smiled.

"Your turns." Saber Leomon nodded.

"Ascend to Power!" Taichi yelled.

"Ascend to Power!" Yamato yelled.

"AGUMON BIOMERGE!"

"GABUMON BIOMERGE!"

"... WAR GREYMON!"

"... METAL GARURUMON!"

"Excellent. This way Seraphimon would notice us sooner." Saber Leomon smiled.

War Greymon took to the air. The remaining group climbed onto Hercules Kabuterimon. Hercules Kabuterimon took to the sky with War Greymon.

"This feels great!" War Greymon cheered.

"Being one with your copedam? Yeah." Hercules Kabuterimon nodded.

They flew off with Saber Leomon and Metal Garurumon with them galloping on the ground...

Seraphimon noticed some lights and he stopped. A few moments later War Greymon appeared with Hercules Kabuterimon. Seraphimon sensed that Agumon and Taichi biomerged. The same went for Hercules Kabuterimon and... Metal Garurumon.

"It's best if I keep a low profile. Where are Daisuke and Hikari though? I don't sense them. I'll stay on their trail, but with distance so that Saber Leomon can't sense me." Seraphimon whispered

He lowered himself from the sky, closer to the trees. After Hercules Kabuterimon and War Greymon were out of sight, Seraphimon continued his flight but with cautious now...

Ogremon opened his eyes, seeing that he was flying. He freaked out. He barely let go of his club. It took Ogremon some time before he realized that someone was carrying him. He noticed it was Stealth Veemon, he knew Stealth Veemon.

"Hey." Ogremon whispered.

Stealth Veemon yelled, startled. He lost his altitude and had a rough landing. Ogremon was safe. He got off while Stealth Veemon devolved back into Veemon, panting. Angewomon landed close by. She let go of Hikari and Daisuke. Daisuke rushed over to Veemon.

"Did you have to do that?" Daisuke asked.

Ogremon shrugged. "Sorry."

"It's good to see that you're O.K." Angewomon noticed.

"It's good to see myself fine, but it sure is mystery on how I was healed so fast." Ogremon replied.

"Boom Bah! A new audience!" A voice cheered.

Daisuke and Hikari sweat-dropped. They glanced at each other.

"Etemon." Daisuke whispered.

Hikari nodded.

"It's Metal Etemon now kid! Listen..." Metal Etemon started.

Metal Etemon told them his story of what happened to him after Metal Greymon defeated him...

"... Thank you, thank you. You've been a lovely audience." Metal Etemon finished.

"Let's delete this guy!" Daisuke growled, standing up.

"Way before you!" Angewomon replied, flying pass him.

Ogremon charged with Angewomon towards Metal Etemon.

"Maturity and Migration? Banana Slip!" Metal Etemon grinned.

Ogremon slipped on the banana peel that Metal Etemon threw onto the ground. Everything suddenly started to fade into darkness from Hikari's sight. Hikari blinked, but it was true, things were fading. She yelled, holding onto her head, kneeling down with her eyes closed. Daisuke heard her screaming and rushed over to her. He quickly held onto her hand. Hikari opened her eyes, feeling warmth from Daisuke holding her hand.

"It's O.K. I'm here for you." Daisuke whispered.

Hikari smiled. Pink light made Hikari glow. The devolved Gatomon glowed with her. Hikari's sight turned back to normal.

"Hikari..." Gatomon whispered, feeling her emotions.

"GATOMON BIOMERGE!"
"... OPHANIMON!"

"Ophanimon - Mate Angel Jerebi - Ophanimon is just a tiny glimpse of what beauty Paradise is - Her attacks are: Sephirote Crystal and Shining Javelin."

"Hikari?" Daisuke asked.

"Don't worry Dai. It's I and Gatomon as one." Ophanimon smiled.

Veemon blinked, staring at Ophanimon. Ophanimon turned her attention to Metal Etemon, who backed up a step.

"An angel mate? This can't be good!" Metal Etemon sung.

"Time to silence your singing and glowing star for good." Ophanimon threatened.

"Show me what you got mate!" Metal Etemon growled.

Ophanimon aimed her javelin at Metal Etemon.

"Shining Javelin!" Ophanimon yelled.

She threw it, like an Olympic javelin thrower would throw the javelin. It went through Metal Etemon's stomach, deleting it. Metal Etemon gasped, instantly deleted completely.

"We need to leave and fast." Ophanimon warned.

"I'll be seeing you all soon. I'll get out of this and stay low until it is all completely over." Ogremon decided.

He walked away. Ophanimon; Daisuke, and Veemon watched him leave.

"I guess it's only us now." Ophanimon shrugged.

She flew towards Daisuke and Veemon, snatching them into her arms. She took to the skies, flying over the forest, heading towards the city. Below them, the forest slowly deleted with Puppetmon and Metal Etemon gone...

"Machinedramon! Show them no mercy! Go!" Piedmon ordered.

"Right away!" Machinedramon complied...

War Greymon; Hercules Kabuterimon; Saber Leomon, and Metal Garurumon left the forest with Seraphimon as they were all in the city's desert. Ophanimon entered it from another direction, carrying Daisuke and Veemon...
