After their battle with Cerberusmon, as well as witnessing Gaogamon digivolving to his Ultimate Level form, MachGaogamon; the group is currently travelling across Guts Wastes on their way to the Palace of Thorns where the next artifact awaits them. Clyde was carrying Wanyamon after he de-digivolved from MachGaogamon back to his In-Training level form.
"Man, Wanyamon, your Ultimate Level form was so awesome." said Clyde.
"I'm glad you liked it." replied Wanyamon. "I hope you don't mind carrying me, Clyde."
"Don't worry; you've earned it after whooping Cerberusmon." said Clyde.
"But he's still out there." said Stella.
"As well as NeoDevimon, MetalTyrannomon, and especially Titamon." said Zach.
"Which is more the reason we need to get to those other artifacts." said Lincoln. Rusty looked at Elecmon.
"So, what do you think your Ultimate Level form is like, Elecmon?" asked Rusty.
"Not sure." replied Elecmon.
"If your Champion form was cool, then your Ultimate Level form must be even cooler." said Rusty.
"Let's keep going everyone; we have another artifact to find." said Lincoln. The group soon enters the Guts Wastes area and look around; they see a large area walled fortress nearby.
"What's that place?" asked Rusty.
"I don't know, but it looks like a safe place to rest up for a while." said Clyde.
"Let's go take a look." said Stella. They approach the front gate and see what looked like a Goblimon, but its skin was a darker shade of green, its hair was green, and its outfit was blue.
"Is that a Goblimon?" asked Zach. Rusty takes out his Digivice and holds it towards the Digimon.
"This says it's called a Shamamon: Rookie Level, Demon Type, Virus Attribute Digimon; its special attack is Mad Twist." said Rusty.
"What are you all doing here?" asked the Shamamon.
"We're just looking for a place to rest." said Lincoln.
"You're not with Allomon, are you?" asked Shamamon.
"Who?" replied Clyde.
"He's the leader of an army that's trying to lay siege to our home." said the Shamamon. "He wants to plunder our meat crop for himself."
"Well, that ain't right." said Liam. "I'll bet you all put a lot of work into your crops. I'd be mighty un-neighborly if some varmint tried to steal from my family's farm."
"So, you're not with Allomon?" asked Shamamon.
"Never met him, or even heard of him until now." said Stella.
"Well, if you're not with him, then I suppose you can all come inside." said Shamamon.
"Thanks." said Rusty as he and the others head inside. They look around to see a lot of Shamamon working in small gardens with meat growing out of them.
"Those are some mighty fine crops you all got here." said Liam.
"I know." said the gatekeeper Shamamon. "We all put a lot of work into them, so you see why we try so hard to protect them." Just then, the sound of approaching footsteps gets their attention, making them look to see, to their surprise, a Leomon walking over to them.
"Shamamon." said the Leomon.
"Yes, General Leomon?" the Shamamon replied.
"Who are these intruders?" asked the Leomon now known as General Leomon.
"These are just travellers who are resting here for a while." said the gatekeeper Shamamon.
"They could be spies working for Allomon." said General Leomon.
"My apologies, sir." said the gatekeeper Shamamon.
"Return to your post." said General Leomon. The gatekeeper heads back to the front gate, leaving the kids and their partner Digimon with General Leomon.
"We're not spies, sir." said Lincoln.
"Can't be too careful." said General Leomon. "I find it interesting that there are human children in our world."
"There's a story behind that." said Clyde. All of a sudden, another Shamamon comes running over to General Leomon.
"Sir! Allomon's troops are outside!" said the Shamamon.
"All troops; report to the main gate!" shouts General Leomon. A bunch of Shamamon grab their clubs and run over to the front of the fort with General Leomon following after them.
"What do we do?" asked Agumon.
"Should we help?" asked Wanyamon.
"I don't feel like missing out on the action." said Elecmon.
"Let's check it out at least." said Lincoln. The others nod and run over to the front gate. When they get there, they see a small horde of what looked like dark gray Agumons, and a few black tyrannosaurus-like Digimon with red stripes, green ridges going down their back, and belts wrapped around one of their arms; standing in a large open area just outside the fort.
"Are those Agumon?" asked Zach. Out of curiosity, Stella takes out her Digivice and points it at one of them.
"Those are BlackAgumon." said Stella. "Rookie Level, Reptile Type, Virus Attribute Digimon; their special attack is Pepper Breath like Agumon.
"And those tyrannosaurus ones are DarkTyrannomon." said Rusty. "Champion Level, Dinosaur Type, Virus Attribute; their special attack is Fire Blast."
"Give us your meat, Leomon!" shouts a DarkTyrannomon.
"Yeah! Allomon is hungry!" said a BlackAgumon.
"Our crops aren't yours to steal!" said General Leomon. "We grow it for all in these lands!"
"The 'all' who should get those meat plants is All-omon!" said a BlackAgumon.
"Oh great, a Digimon who makes bad puns." said Zach. Lincoln frowns as Luan comes to his mind and how he misses his family.
"Leave our fortress or you will have to face me!" said General Leomon as he unsheathes his sword.
"We can do this one of two ways: Give us your meat, all peaceful-like; or we tear your little fort apart and take it!" said a BlackAgumon.
"If those are our only options, then we have no choice." said General Leomon.
"That's what we like to hear." said BlackAgumon.
"Here's something you don't want to hear; Fist of the Beast King!" said General Leomon as he thrusts a fist forward, releasing an energy blast that's shaped like his head at the horde, hitting several BlackAgumon, knocking them back.
"So that's how you want to do it?!" asked a DarkTyrannomon. He, the other DarkTyrannomon, and all the BlackAgumon charge the fort.
"Attack!" shouts General Leomon as he and the Shamamon charge to meet the invaders on the field of battle.
"Man, this is just like when those Goblimon and Ogremon attacked Floatia to steal their crops!" said Gotsumon.
"I didn't like it then, and I don't like what's going on here now!" said Wanyamon. A button on Clyde's artifact started to glow; he pushes it, making Wanyamon Digivolve to Gaomon.
"Let's help them!" said Agumon. Lincoln and the other kids push the buttons on their Digivices to change their Digimon to their Champion Levels, getting the invading army's attention.
"Who are those guys?!" asked a BlackAgumon.
"Charge!" said Rusty's Leomon as he and the other kids' Digimon rush out to help General Leomon's army.
"Horn Impulse!" shouts GeoGreymon as he rams his head into a DarkTyrannomon's chest, knocking it onto some BlackAgumon.
"Nice one, GeoGreymon!" shouts Lincoln.
"Dark Nail!" shouts a DarkTyrannomon as it swings its claws at Gaogamon, but he jumps back, dodging the claws.
"Double Claw!" shouts Gaogamon as he pounces at another DarkTyrannomon and strikes it with both of his front claws, knocking it onto the ground.
"Smashing Kick!" shouts Leomon as he jumps at a DarkTyrannomon and kicks it with the heel of his foot.
"Fire Blast!" shouts a DarkTyrannomon and it unleashes flames from its mouth towards Reppamon, but he jumps up, dodging the attack.
"Razor Wind!" shouts Reppamon and he swings his tail, releasing a blade of wind at DarkTyrannomon, hitting it.
"Sunshine Gun!" shouts Sunflowmon as she fires off a large number of seeds from her mouth, hitting a large number of BlackAgumon.
"Sulfur Plume!" shouts Golemon as he releases a blast of hot gases from his mouth at a bunch of BlackAgumon.
"Fist of the Beast King!" shouts General Leomon as he fires off another lion head-shaped mass of energy, hitting several more BlackAgumon.
"We're losing troops fast!" shouts a remaining BlackAgumon.
"Let's get out of here!" said another BlackAgumon.
"You all didn't tell us you had reinforcements!" shouts a DarkTyrannomon as the invaders retreated. The Shamamon cheered at their victory.
"We won!" said a Shamamon.
"For now." said General Leomon. He then turns towards the kids and their Digimon after they returned to their Rookie Forms. "I see you were all telling the truth about not working for Allomon."
"Told ya." said Elecmon.
"Now tell us, what are you doing in these lands?" asked General Leomon. The kids and the Digimon enter the fort where they explain to General Leomon about their quest so far.
Meanwhile, at a mountain cave, the remaining invaders were inside, kneeling before a large blue dinosaur-like Digimon with red stripes and hair, along with a necklace around its neck.
"Where's the meat?!" asked the Digimon.
"Our apologies, Allomon." said a BlackAgumon. "We were driven off by General Leomon's new allies."
"What new allies?!" replied the Digimon now known as Allomon. The BlackAgumon told him about their failed attack on the fort, and it was safe to say that he was not happy.
"I am not going to let them get away with denying me meat that should be mine!" said Allomon.
"What will you do, sir?" asked a BlackAgumon. Allomon then walks out of the cave with his remaining troops behind him.
Back at the fort, the kids and their partners were eating while telling General Leomon about their journey so far.
"I am amazed by far you've travelled." said General Leomon.
"Thanks." said Rusty with a smirk.
"Do you know the quickest route to the Palace of Thorns?" asked Clyde. Before General Leomon could answer, a Shamamon comes running over to them.
"Sir! Allomon is here!" said the Shamamon.
"I knew he wouldn't take his troops losing lightly." said General Leomon as he grabs his sword and runs towards the front gate with the kids and their partners following after him.
When they reach the fort's entrance, they see Allomon and his troops standing outside it.
"So, that's Allomon?" asked Agumon. Clyde holds out his artifact towards Allomon.
"Allomon; Champion Level, Dinosaur Type, Data Attribute." said Clyde. "Special Attack; Dino Burst."
"Where are the Digimon that drove off my troops?" asked Allomon.
"They're right over there, sir." said BlackAgumon as he points at the kids and their partner Digimon.
"That's them?!" replied Allomon. "You ran away from a bunch of runts?!"
"RUNTS?!" shouts Elecmon. "Come over here and say that to our faces!"
"With pleasure!" said Allomon as he stomps towards the fort's gate; General Leomon stands in front of it.
"I'll handle this." said General Leomon as he draws his sword and charges at Allomon.
"Dynamite Head!" shouts Allomon as he charges towards General Leomon at incredible speed and rams him with his head, sending General Leomon flying into the fort's front wall.
"General!" shouts a Shamamon as it runs over to General Leomon.
"That's it!" shouts Agumon as he looks at Lincoln and nods, making him nod and pull out his Digivice, making the kids bring out their Digivices/artifact and use them to Digivolve their Digimon to their Champion Forms.
"Let's get him!" said Rusty's Leomon as he and the other Digimon run at Allomon.
"Dino Burst!" shouts Allomon as he releases a very hot wind from his mouth at the kids' Digimon.
"Mega Flame!" shouts GeoGreymon as he fires off a powerful blast of fire from his mouth, colliding with Allomon's attack and cancels it out.
"Dash Double Claw!" shouts Gaogamon as he swings his front paws, releasing an X-shaped energy wave at a DarkTyrannomon, hitting it.
"Fire Blast!" shouts a DarkTyrannomon, releasing flames from its mouth towards Reppamon, but he jumps to the side, dodging them.
"Rolling Tackle!" shouts Reppamon as he does an aerial somersault towards DarkTyrannomon, cutting through its flame and strikes it with his tail.
"Dark Nail!" shouts a DarkTyrannomon as it swings its claws at Rusty's Leomon, but he blocks them with his sword.
"Fist of the Beast King!" shouts Leomon as he throws a punch with his free hand, releasing a lion head shaped energy blast at DarkTyrannomon, hitting it.
"Cactus Tail!" shouts Sunflowmon as she swings her tail, releasing thorns from it that hits several BlackAgumons.
"Rock Punch!" shouts Golemon as he punches another DarkTyrannomon across its face.
With GeoGreymon and Allomon, they were pushing against each other in an attempt to force the other one back.
"Give... us... MEAT!" shouts the Allomon.
"Grow your own!" said GeoGreymon.
"Make us!" said Allomon. GeoGreymon suddenly pushes Allomon back, making him stumble, giving GeoGreymon an opening to attack.
"Mega Volcano!" shouts GeoGreymon as he releases a massive fireball from his mouth that hits Allomon, causing a massive explosion that overwhelms him.
"AAAUUUUUUUUUUUGH!" screams Allomon as his body breaks apart.
"Allomon!" shouts a BlackAgumon. Without their leader, the rest of Allomon's troops bow down and surrender, making General Leomon's army cheer in victory.
Later in the fort, Allomon's troops were all working in the meat fields with General Leomon watching over them.
"If you all want meat, then you will have to work for it." said General Leomon. The kids and their partner Digimon watched all this go on with satisfaction.
"I'm glad we were able to help." said Clyde.
"You are all free to rest here for the night." said General Leomon. The kids look up at the sky and see it was getting dark.
"Yeah, I think it is time to call it a day." said Stella. After everyone eats, and Lincoln makes another journal entry; they all sleep on the mats that they brought with them from Floatia and fall asleep to rest for their continuing journey tomorrow.
