Now You See It, Now You Don't.The Royal Knights scan another area and are excited as there are only four areas left of the Digital World. Koji's Gotsumon friend tries to defend the statues that had released the Beast Spirit of Light from a bunch of Knightmon, but is nearly killed until the kids arrive and spirit evolve to help. While they win easily, the Royal Knights arrive and destroy the jewel that had released the Spirit, allowing them to scan the area, callously sacrificing their Knightmon to do so. They then reveal that only the Forest, Light and Ice areas are left and that they are headed to the Forest Area next before leaving. Gotsumon convinces Koji to allow him to join them in their mission to save the world and they travel to Seraphimon's Castle in the Forest Area where the Royal Knights and their Knightmon minions are unable to break in due to an energy barrier protecting the place. While MagnaGarurumon and Gotsumon take on the Knightmon, the others go after the Royal Knights who had left to try to get into the Castle from above. Attacking the barrier at its weakest point at the top, the Knights are able to start to weaken it. At the same time, someone opens a hole in the barrier for Takuya, Koichi, Zoe, J.P., Tommy, Bokomon, Neemon and Patamon and leads them to a statue of the three Celestial Digimon which contains the data for the area. Dynasmon eventually breaks through the barrier and destroys the Castle, but they are shielded by Sorecermon's spirit which had been guiding them all along. Takuya quickly evolves to EmperorGreymon to battle Dynasmon while Gotsumon and MagnaGarurumon try to destroy the Knightmon who reform no matter what they do. Crusadermon joins the fight and beats on MagnaGarurumon and Gotsumon's desire to help causes him to digivolve to his Ultimate form of Meteormon. Meteormon destroys the Knightmon and helps hold off Crusadermon. Dynasmon and EmperorGreymon fight to a draw and then fire at each other, but Dynasmon really aims for the statue and destroys it, getting the data. While EmperorGreymon and MagnaGarurumon are willing to continue the fight, Crusadermon attacks Meteormon and makes him de-digivolve to Gotsumon and the disappearing ground forces the two to choose between saving their friends or fighting. With no other choice, they save their friends, leaving only two areas left. As the gang continues on to the next area on a Trailmon, an injured Gotsumon stays behind, putting his hopes in the group saving the world.
