As Christmas approaches, the DigiDestined take on a festive mood. Ken goes so far as to throw a party (the first time he was truly happy in a long time). The younger group brings the Digimon partners of the original DigiDestined into the real world. Unfortunately, a group of rogue Digimon appear from no where at the Teenage Wolves' concert with assembled DigiDestined teams fighting them. After most of the Digimon are sent back through Izzy's laptop, Paildramon, Silphymon and Shakkoumon finish the job and the DigiDestined rejoice believing it is over. However, their holiday cheer ends when control spires and rampaging Digimon appear worldwide on Christmas day.

As Davis and Ken have to deal with a Triceramon running a rampage in the latter's district, the DigiDestined receive one of Azulongmon's Digicores from a rejuvenated Gennai, which results in not restoring the original DigiDestined Digimons' ability to go to ultimate level, but allows Paildramon to mega digivolve into Imperialdramon as he and his humans partners get every Digimon on Japan. Soon after, Gennai gives the DigiDestined instructions to aid the other DigiDestined worldwide. After Japan's DigiDestined head out, Arukenimon and Mummymon begin the next phase of their plan.

One of the children's Dark Spores grows into a Dark Flower, which is harvested by Oikawa despite the DigiDestined's best efforts to stop him. Cody's grandfather tries to convince Oikawa to give up villainy, but fails. Before Oikawa can kill him, however, BlackWarGreymon takes the fatal blast. The dying mega uses the last remnants of power to seal the digital gate at Highton View Terrace. Also, it is revealed that Oikawa is actually possessed by a dark force, one that BlackWarGreymon recognizes but doesn't identify before his death.
48	"Oikawa's Shame" ("The Terror of BelailVamdemon") "Kyōfu! BeriraruVandemon" (恐怖! ベリアルヴァンデモン)	Hiroki Shibata	Hiro Masaki	March 11, 2001	May 12, 2001
Oikawa and the children infected with the Dark Spores try to go to the DigiWorld, but, due to BlackWarGreymon's sealing of the gate, travel to a different world. There, the force possessing Oikawa reveals itself and Gatomon recognizes it to be voice of Myotismon. Having been rendered incorporeal since his death as VenomMyotismon, Mytoismon's essence took refuse in the body of a depressed Oikawa and used the human's desire to enter the Digital World to orchestrate his resurrection. Emerging from Oikawa's body, Myotismon absorbs the Dark Flowers and becomes the demon-lord Digimon MaloMyotismon before destroying Arukenimon to test his new power and then Mummymon out of sheer cruelty. While the others are fearful, especially TK and Kari seeing their old enemy's new form, only Davis refuses to back down as he and Exveemon attack MaloMyotismon head on.

MaloMyotismon tempts the DigiDestined with illusions of their dreams coming true, but Davis, whose dream was that ExVeemon could grow more powerful to defeat the villain, guides them out. The others follow his example, causing the Digimon to assume their various forms at once. Unfortunately, the final attack of all the Digimon blows MaloMyotismon into the DigiWorld, leaving only Imperialdramon, Silphymon and Shakkoumon to face the demon lord Digimon as he increases his powers by absorbing the darkness and then spreading it over both worlds.
50	"A Million Points of Light" ("Our Digital World") "Bokura no Dejitaru Wārudo" (ぼくらのデジタルワールド)	Hiroyuki Kakudō	Genki Yoshimura	March 25, 2001	May 19, 2001
The six DigiDestined, assisted by DigiDestined all over the world and Oikawa's gathered children, destroy MaloMyotismon by revealing their hopes and dreams which weaken him to the point he loses his physical form before Imperialdramon extinguishes the evil Digimon for good with his Giga Crusher attack. Oikawa, on the verge of death as Cody tried to get him into the Digital World, uses the power of the dream dimension to become data and restore the DigiWorld to its original state. Twenty-five years later, when everyone in the Real World has a Digimon partner, both groups of DigiDestined are grown and their children now hold the responsibility of protecting the worlds.
