Inside an office within a tall skyscraper in downtown Tokyo, his partner, Stingmon, and Police Chief, Aito Ikari, join Ken Ichijouji, who is wearing a brown trench coat and matching fedora. As officers look over the office, some white dust on a sheet of paper lying on the desk is blowing from the open window, hitting Stingmon in the face.

"Any idea why this Koichi Ryo went mad an attacked his own secretary?" The Chief scratched his head as he looked at Ken.

"I'm afraid not chief."

"I'm sorry to have brought you in on this Ken I know you have your hands full with Hamasaki-san."

"It's no problem chief I.."

"No, no, no." Stingmon starts to hold his head as if in pain walking over to him Ken puts his hand on his shoulder when suddenly Stingmon backhands him hard, sending him into the far wall.

"No, you will not get me. Leave me alone!" A seemingly crazed Stingmon flies out the window as Ken reaches his feet, joining Chief Aito at the window watching as Stingmon unleashes his sting blade and slashes at nothing high above the Tokyo skyline.

"He's gone mad, Ken." Turning to look at the desk, Ken notices the paper with white residue on it.

"No, I think we found our answer. It's digiblight. "If Stingmon has been affected, we are going to need some help."

A few minutes later, a huge light blue figure can be seen racing across the Tokyo skyline with its wings flapping. Stopping out of range of Stingmon's sting blade, X-Veemon holds his hand up to his friend.

"Stingmon, my friend, it's me, X-Veemon. You have to calm down before you hurt someone."

An out of control Stingmon slashes his sting blade at X-Veemon. "Namely me."

"Leave me alone! Leave me alone!"

"Afraid I can't do that, pal. But this fight can't continue inside the city." Flying off at a fast rate of speed, X-Veemon circles behind some skyscrapers to gain speed as he charges in, hitting Stingmon in the gut and driving him out of the city. Outside the city, they hit the ground, leaving a crater in an open area of a densely wooded area.

"No, no you will never take me alive!"

Stingmon slashes out with his sting blade, cutting X-Veemon's right arm.

"That's enough! This going to end now!" Flying up in the sky, X-Veemon crosses his arms over his chest before starting to open them. "Vee laser." A bright yellow light shoots out from the X on his chest and strikes Stingmon. Once the light has subdued, Stingmon could be seen having reverted back to his rookie form of Wormmon, lying on the ground passed out.

A short while later back at the Ichijouji home, Wormmon is laid out on the couch as Yolei places a wet cloth over him.

"That should make you feel better, Wormmon."

"Thank you, Yolei."

"Hey, I'm sorry I had to blast you back there, buddy."

"I understand, Veemon, and thank you for helping me."

"No problem. I mean, what are friends for?"

"Speaking of which, if you ever need our help, we are there for you, Ken." Davis turned to his friend and patted him on the back.

"Thanks, Davis, that means a lot."

"So, do the police have any more leads on the digiblight case?"

Ken shrugs his shoulders. "Not that I'm aware of."

In an unknown location, a figure hidden in the shadows watches the event unfold in the Ichijouji home.

"Of course they don't. The police are fools."

The figure sits in the dark and laughs evilly.
