The episode begins with a flashback to Tommy's home life. It reveals how the young boy was pampered and given everything he wanted, much to the frustration of his older brother. Tommy's brother feels his sibling is selfish, spoiled, and can't do anything on his own.

In the next scene, Tommy finds himself alone in a desolate, volcanic type area. Seems Takuya and the others have been scattered in all different areas. Each were in a different sphere of the legendary warrior, Sakkakumon. Suddenly, Tommy is attacked by a mysterious Digimon. After he escapes, the boy meets another hooded Digimon, Asuramon, who seems very friendly. They accompany each other to look for their friends.

In a different area of Sakkakumon, Koji evolves to Lobomon when he comes face-to-face with the Digimon Karatenmon. The Digimon wants Koji's spirit, and they begin to battle.

The scene switches to Tommy who has become tired and thirsty. Asuramon, declaring his friendship, volunteers to get him water. This triggered another flashback of a family outing where the boy has gotten his own way again angering his brother.

Meanwhile, Karatenmon is trying to belittle Koji by telling him he is afraid to have friends. The Digimon is able to mimic Lobomon's every move. Lobomon evolves to KendoGarurumon. With his incredible speed, Koji eventually defeats Karatenmon and purifies his fractal code. When Koji returns to himself, another eye portal appears, and he jumps through it.

Tommy and Asuramon are now climbing a mountain, and it is becoming increasingly hot. Tommy finally realizes that Asuramon is only being nice to him, because he wants something. When Asuramon removes his cloak, Tommy sees that this is the Digimon that was after his spirit before. The youngster evolves to Kumamon to defend his spirit. Asuramon's taunting about his lack of friends helps Tommy to understand what his brother was trying to tell him. Friendship should not be one sided. Kumamon beast spirit evolves to Korikakkumon, defeats Asuramon, and purifies his fractal code. And with that, Tommy is able to exit Sakkakumon's sphere and meet up with Bokomon and Neemon.

...But what about the others???
