“The Rise of RizeGreymon!”
A new Ultimate level Digimon, Merukimon, crosses from the Digital World to the real world in search of Biyomon. Biyomon has become attached to Kristy. Marcus, Tomas and the rest of DATS battle Merukimon but he is too strong and he takes Biyomon back to the digital world.

However, the memories of Kristy remain fresh for Biyomon, who vowed to always protect her. Now as a Champion Level, Aquilamon, he returns to the real world to deal with these persistent memories. Aquilamon digivolves into Garudamon as he tries to defeat Marus and Agumon. But this new digimon cannot remember his relationship with Kristy and actually attacks her! Although Kristy is unharmed, she is heartbroken that the digimon has forgotten her. Marcus is distraught over his inability to stop Garudamon and protect his sister. Summoning new found strength – and transforming Geogreymon into Rizegreymon – Marcus defeats Garudamon and returns him to his original form, that of the egg of Biyomon. A tearful Kristy shares a tender moment with the digiegg of her friend.

Back at headquarters, Captain Sampson tells Marcus there is something he needs to know… about his missing father!

However, a human boy, Keenan, who's partnered with Falcomon, attacks and destroys their supplies. The melee alerts a tree-like Digimon, named Cherrymon, who demands that they stop fighting because the battle is destroying his forest. It turns out that Cherrymon is also trying to protect young Digimon from danger. Gotsumon, an underling of Merukimon, attacks, and Marcus and the others team up to stop him and save the young Digimon. Gotsumon retreats, as do Keenan and Falcomon.

Cherrymon is shocked that humans would help a Digimon. Thankful for what they've done, he tells them that Merukimon can be found in a mountain far off in the distance. As the DATS agents prepare to set off on their journey, Gotsumon warns Merukimon that the humans are on their way.

Her lack of confidence paralyzes her when Gotsumon and Mammothmon show up. Though Yoshi do battle, Lalamon goes in on her own. Thomas and Gaomon try to convince Yoshi that she's good enough and that she needs to help Lalamon, but it's only Lalamon's Lullaby—the song that summoned Lalamon to the Digital World to become Yoshi's partner—that gets Yoshi back into battle.

In the past, Merukimon tried to take infant Keenan away from his adopted, Digimon mother, Frigimon, but she refused to give him up. Over the years, Keenan grew up happy under Frigimon's care and with Falcomon as his best friend.

When Kurata, Spencer, Sampson, Yushima, and the others first came to the Digital World, they were attacked by Digimon. Really, though, the attacks were essentially Kurata's fault because he provoked the Digimon. Kurata opened a Digi-gate so he and the others could escape, but Spencer stayed behind to fight SaberLeomon. He was willing to risk his own return in otder to make sure his teammates could go back home.
Spencer wound up in a battle with Merukimon. He finally convinced Merukimon that his team wasn't invading the Digital World but instead had come to study it and find a lost human child, Keenan. The mention of the boy made Merukimon realize Spencer was telling the truth. He broke off the battle and gave Spencer information on how to find Keenan.

After his initial disastrous trip to the Digital World, Kurata returned to seek revenge against the Digimon. Armed with plenty soldiers and brutal weapons, Kurata’s troops viciously attacked the Digimon – and deleted their data forever! Frigimon was among those who were destroyed. Keenan took the loss of the Digimon he considered to be his mother very hard. He became a warrior and vowed to defend Digimon against the hated humons.

In the present, Kurata unveils his latest invention, Gizmon-AT. It's intended to finish the job he started years earlier. He wants to wipe out all Digimon! Marcus vows to stop him.
