Last time, the children made it to the top of the mountain and found where the stone crest is sealed away. Once they made it there, they had to get around a powerful and dangerous digimon named Breakdramon. When Koji and Mason did, they were too late as Machinedramon managed to steal the stone crest and let loose Breakdramon. When the kids managed to stop Breakdramon, it was thanks to the help of Lilamon as she fulfilled her guardian duties. Now, there are only five stones left, and the kids have to get them before the Dark Masters can.

Under the Sea
The Dark Masters have managed to get themselves three of the stone crests. If they managed to get a hold of the other five, there's almost no telling how powerful they can be. Piedmon marveled at the three he currently holds.
"The one of hope, friendship, and knowledge... It is with these that I HOPE for our victory because we have the KNOWLEDGE to win, and the digidestine's FRIENDSHIP isn't anything compare to our power." Piedmon claimed as he couldn't help himself from laughing at his own little joke.
"It shall now that you have me." Piedmon lookd behind him and was met with a new digimon. This digimon had female humanoid form with light blue skin and black bowl-cut. She also had angel wings, but wore a black dress. She might have the wings of an angel, but she is anything except an angel.
"Luradamon... You really wish to help us get the next stone, do you?" Piedmon questioned.
"Our interests are quite similar, Piedmon. It's only common sense for us to work together." Luradamon claimed. "Besides, it's actually a great honor to serve the evil and vile Piedmon, who once had the Digital World conquered. Now that those who have stopped you are out of the picture, nothing can stand in your way."
"So true, but then what would I need you for? You wish to become the fifth Dark Master?" Piedmon questioned. "Not just anyone can be one of us."
"Just you wait and see." Luradamon claimed.
"Very well, but now I am wondering how our special guests are doing." Piedmon said as he turned on a screen that showed their prisoners. "Once we have the remaining stones, we won't need them anymore. I wonder how they're handeling their impending doom."
...
The Adults
Tai and the others are forced to remain where they are until the Dark Masters obtain the remaining stones. Once they have them all, they might not need them anymore. Despite that, they're trying to make the most of a bad situation and tried to do what they can. They never gave up when they were kids, and they certainly aren't going to do nothing while their old enemies are causing trouble once again.
"Have you got anything, Izzy?" Tai said. "Anything about these stone crests?" Leave it to Izzy to smuggle in a computer when you're taken prisoner.
"Nothing good if the Dark Masters get their hands on them." Izzy said.
"That much we already know, but how are they finding them?" Matt questioned.
"My guess is that this prison they have us in is reading our energy and is using that to find them because the crests and tags we once had were made from those stones." Izzy said.
"Isn't there something we can do to stop them?" Sora asked as she was washing a dish. they might be prisoners, but at least they have some comfort.
"Not as long as we're trapped in here, and there's no way out." Izzy said. That's not good for them.
"Let's not give up hope." Joe said. "We know the kids are out there, and I'm sure they're doing everything they can to stop the Dark Masters. By now, they probably know about the stone crests and are looking for the remaining ones right now."
"But that means they have to go up against the Dark Masters." Kari said.
"They probably already have." Joe said. "We're just going to have to rely on them. They might be the only ones that can get us out of here and believe they can win. Our parents had to do the same when we went to face them. Now it's our turn to trust them." Joe made sense, but it certainly doesn't make things any easier.
...
The Children
Musuko and the others might have failed to stop the Dark Masters from obtaining three of the stone crests, but they're not beaten just yet. They still have five chances to get them before the Dark Masters do, and they might use them to get their parents back.
"Where do you think we're going now?" Mason questioned.
"Wherever the next stone is. We've got to get it this time if we want to see our parents again." Benson claimed with all of them having their eyes on the prize. Their next destination came up as CannonBeemon emerged out of hyperspace. they now found themselves near the coast.
"Where are we now?" Koji asked.
"It looks like we're on some sort of beach now." Biyomon said. "The next stone crest must be somewhere near by."
"What are we waiting for? Let's get down there and check it out." Musuko said. All of them got out of CannonBeemon and went down to the beach. They searched around for anything that might tell them where the next stone might be, but they didn't see anything.
"Anyone see anything?" Gatomon questioned.
"Everything looks pretty normal." Veemon said. As they searched around, Koji was thinking back. Being on this beach is having him think back to times he spent with his family on their beach house, especially with Kari. It's having him miss her even more.
"Mommy..." Koji took one step forward, but he stepped on something that wasn't sand.
"Ow! Hey! Watch where you're stepping! I'm not some item in a video game!" Koji looked down and saw that he accidentally stepped on a digimon called Crabmon.
"I'm so sorry!" Koji said as he backed away. "I didn't see you down there."
"How could you not see me when you're rather short for a human." Crabmon said as he looked ready to pinch Koji.
"Hey, back off." Musuko said as he came over. "My little brother said he was sorry. You don't need to get so...crabby." He joked.
"Hello, my name is Crabmon. It's practically in the name. Boy, if I had a quarter every time someone made that comment..."
"Just ignore this crab. We've got more important things to do." Natalie said.
"Sure. Run away. You don't want any of this crab pinching you." Crabmon mocked.
"Hey, we could crush you like the sea bug you are if we wanted." Musuko warned.
"Better idea, I say we boil him and have a nice piece of crab." Veemon said as they were getting irritated with Crabmon's attitude.
"Gonahead and try." Crabmon said as he pinched his pincers and tried to get him to fight.
"Knock it off. We don't have time for this." Benson said. "We don't know when the Dark Masters will show, so we need to find the stone crest before they show up."
"What if they already came here and took the stone?" Mason questioned.
"There's thinking positive." Natalie said with sarcasm.
"Crabmon, maybe you can help us." Koji said.
"What? You stepped on me and expect me to help you?" Crabmon said as he continued with the nasty attitude.
"Crabmon, we're looking for something called a stone crest." Gatomon said. "It's a shining colored jewel with a symbol engraved on it. Have you ever seen anything like that?"
"Tell us and we might just leave you alone." Patamon offered.
"If it will give you kids a reason to get lost, fine." Crabmon claimed. "Actually, there is something. It's out there." He claimed as he pointed out in the water.
"What? What do you mean?" Musuko questioned. "I don't see anything."
"You're clearly not the brains. I'm talking about the water." Crabmon claimed. "They say there's a reef, and in that reef is a special stone that shines in the water."
"It's under the water?! How are we going to get it when it's down there?" Veemon questioned.
"And if it's in the sea, it won't be any problem for MetalSeadramon to get it." Natalie said. "We have to figure this out before the Dark Masters show themselves."
"Crabmon, isn't there some way you can help? Please?" Koji asked.
"No way. You said you would leave me alone, so leave me alone." Crabmon claimed. "Better idea, I'll just scuttle off myself." Crabmon claimed as he was walking off himself.
"But we need your help." Koji said.
"Forget him, Koji. We need to figure out how we're going to get underwater and get that stone." Gatomon said.
"So the next stone is underwater? Good to know." They all turned around and saw MetalSeadramon right behind them.
"Oh no! It's MetalSeadramon!" Benson said.
"You're right about one thing kids. It will be easy for me to get this stone. Now out of my way!" MetalSeadramon called as he flew right at them and planned to get in the water.
"Keep him away from the water!" Musuko called as he and Benson pulled out their digivices
"Veemon warp digivolve to...UlforceVeedramon!"
"Patamon warp digivolve to...Seraphimon!"
Both UlforceVeedramon and Seraphimon got in the way as they both struck MetalSeadramon and kept him out of the water.
"If he goes in the water, we might not be able to stop him. We have to do something about this here." Seraphimon claimed.
"You don't have to tell me twice." UlforceVeedramon claimed as they were ready to fight.
"You think you can stop me? Go ahead and try." MetalSeadramon dared. Both of them flew right at MetalSeadramon, but he flew straight up and avoided both of them. UlforceVeedramon drew his sword and tried to attack him with it.
"River of Power!" MetalSeadramon fired his attack at him, but UlforceVeedramon generated a shield to block the attack, and it was holding.
"What?!" MetalSeadramon claimed as he didn't expect that. Then, Seraphimon flew in and smashed his fist right against MetalSeadramon's head and knocked him down. "What is this? They seem to be growing stronger? They're certainly stronger than the last time I gave them."
"Give it up, MetalSeadramon. You won't beat us." UlforceVeedramon claimed.
"And while you're at it, give us our parents back." Musuko demanded.
"You're a little short to be giving me orders." MetalSeadramon said as he got back up and was ready to fight. The others got themselves ready. They need to prevent MetalSeadramon from getting into the water.
"MetalSeadramon, you shouldn't be wasting time with these kids." All of them looked up to the sky and they all saw Luradamon floating up there. "Just leave them to me while you dive into the water and get the stone."
"Luradamon?! Who said you could come here?" MetalSeadramon questioned.
"Who's she?" Mason questioned.
"I don't know. She seems to know who he is, but don't remember hearing about her in my father's stories." Benson said.
"I'm new, working my way to become the newest member of the Dark Masters." Luradamon claimed.
"Newest Dark Master?" Musuko questioned.
"If you're friends with them, you're no friend of ours!" UlforceVeedramon claimed as he jumped straight at her, but Luradamon held out her hand and fired a blast of light that knocked him right out of the air. If she was able to do that in one stroke, this Luradamon is quite powerful.
"I settle down if I were you, unless you don't care what happens to your new little friend." Luradamon claimed as she showed she had Crabmon captive.
"Put me down! I don't want to be the next shrimp on the barbie!" Crabmon claimed.
"Crabmon!" Koji called.
"Put him down!" Gatomon demanded.
"You better settle down or else this crab is going to have his shell cracked." Luradamon threatened. They might be in trouble with this one. Not only do they have to prevent MetalSeadramon from getting the stone, but now it looks like they have a brand new enemy to deal with.
...
Next time, the children see what Luradamon is capable of. However, she is as powerful and as dangerous as the other four Dark Masters, but what is really motivating her?
