LeopardmonThat I might be defeated... That unrivalled justice could falter here...

LeopardmonThat's it! Destruction must be King Drasil's will! Now that my end is here, I finally see the light!

LeopardmonMay the will of King Drasil utterly destroy the human and Digital World alike!

LeopardmonThere is no greater proof than my perishing here!

LeopardmonBwahaha! Worlds far and wide, be destroyed! Vanish, like me, leaving no trace behind!

LeopardmonAhahahahaha! Ahahahahahaha!

AlphamonThere are no more Royal Knights to oppose you.

OmnimonNow, we just need to find a way to handle the mass of Eaters who've come from the Digital World.

NokiaWell, we could take them down one by one?

NokiaBut hey, there's a legendary Royal Knight here! He can use legendary power and do legendary stuff!

AlphamonNo, that would take too much time.

ArataIn that case, our only option is to ask you-know- who for help.

Familiar VoiceThat's right.

YuukoS-Suedou!

Player...!

SuedouMy, my... I see everyone's here.

SuedouArata? You've given up on evolution?

ArataI trust these people. I ain't buying your crap anymore.

SuedouI see. Well, that's fine, I suppose.

ArataSince you're here... I'm assuming that means you have a way, right?

SuedouExcellent, Arata. A brilliant deduction. Let me get right down to the explanation.

SuedouTo end this disastrous situation, all we can do is send the Eaters infesting Tokyo back to the Digital World.

OmnimonWhat?!

SuedouIf we release the Digital Wave that is pooled in the Digital Line, the Dimensional Door will open.

SuedouThat will attract the Eaters, then in they go!

SuedouHappily, the Digital Line is already primed, thanks to the energy you took from Leopardmon.

SuedouThis plan can be executed at any time now.

OmnimonThat's absurd! You would further doom my Digital World!

NokiaYeah, we're not letting that happen!

Alphamon...

SuedouOf course, I won't let such a thing happen. It would just mean the end of our evolution.

SuedouDid you know that the Eaters have what could be called a "main unit"?

ArataThe Eaters'... main unit?

SuedouYes, yes! The "Mother Eater" itself! Eliminate that, and all the other Eaters will be wiped out in turn!

AlphamonWhere is this Mother Eater?

SuedouDeep in the Digital World. King Drasil's core.

SuedouKing Drasil, the host computer that can be called the creator of your world...

Suedou...has been worn away by the Mother Eater, and has lost most of its functionality.

SuedouThis may be the reason why you Royal Knights have broken ranks with one another.

OmnimonWait... If we know where the Mother Eater is, then we should go to King Drasil and remove it!

OmnimonWhy do we need to send the Eaters back?

SuedouUnfortunately, you'll never be able to get close to King Drasil by charging in blindly.

SuedouThe wide-scale loss of functionality includes King Drasil's security system.

SuedouIt will be unable to discern whether anyone who approaches is friend or foe.

SuedouI surmise that the instant we enter the Digital World, we will be dealt with as bugs.

SuedouHowever, seeing as the Eaters are all a part of the Mother Eater, they're a different story.

SuedouIf we can send Eaters that have incorporated a program of my devising back to the Mother Eater en masse...

Suedou...we could attach them to King Drasil and temporarily take control of the security system.

ArataAnd then we eliminate the Mother Eater.

AlphamonHmm... I think I follow you.

SuedouThere is no other way to remove the Eater threat from both worlds.

NokiaOh boy. I'm totally clueless here. So like, this is our only choice, right?

YuukoIt would appear so.

Player...

SuedouNow, to put this plan into action, there is one request I need to make of the Royal Knights.

SuedouOpening the Dimensional Door is a simple matter. However...

SuedouI am dubious as to whether enough Digital Wave energy has accumulated in the Digital Line to actually KEEP the Door open.

SuedouThat is why, after the Eaters are in the Digital World, and until Mother Eater is eliminated, I need you to hold the Door open from the inside.

Familiar VoiceLeave that part to us.

OmnimonMagnamon!

NokiaYou guys!

SuedouHehehe, now isn't this heartening! Let us open the door to a new age! A new world!

SuedouSpeaking of which, let's make some quiet little adjustments to the Digital Line.

SuedouMaster Arata, Miss Yuuko, would you help me? Oh, and let's not forget Miss Akkino, either!

NokiaWhat! Me too?! But wait, what do you mean "don't forget me"?

SuedouDear me! You've simply showed you've got a rather unique knack for hacking the Digital Line, is all!

SuedouAll right, then, everyone. I'm counting on you.

SuedouNow then... Let us begin!
