DIGIMON SAVERS EPISODE 18

DATS Team Annihilated!? Clash, Mercurimon

The mysterious elder man, Masaru and the others encountered in the Digital World has volunteered to show them the way to Mercurimon. Masaru, of course, totally trusts him, but the others are slightly skeptical.

Inside Mercurimon's lair, Ikuto is questioning his existence. The large digimon tries to reassure the boy.

Outside, the group has made it to the entrance. The elder man notices a Kuramon watching them and (using his fishing rod) sends it flying. As they continue inside, it isn't long before they are discovered by dozens of Tsumemon (A baby level digimon that destroys data at frightening speeds. They have very fast movements and are very hard to catch.). The rookie level partners are fighting off the Tsumemon just as they are seen by Gotsumon. The rock digimon immediately reports to Mercurimon that the humans have come to the palace! Mercurimon lets Ikuto go fight.....that way he can become a true digimon warrior. When Ikuto attacks the group, the old man looks up, "That boy...could he be?"

Masaru takes on Ikuto, while Falcomon goes after the others with his "Shuririnken attacks." The fighting continues with Masaru getting the younger boy on the ground. That's when Gotsumon arrives saying he's there to help. However, his "angry rock" attacks seem to be targeting everyone....even Ikuto and Falcomon! "Destroy everyone," he says just before another attack opens a large crevice that sends Ikuto and Masaru plummeting! Another round of attacks swallow up everyone.

A short time later, Gotsumon surveys his dirty work. Meanwhile, Agumon and Falcomon landed on a ledge. Agumon looks down to find Masaru hanging there with one hand holding the ledge, while the other holds on to Ikuto. Above, Touma and Yoshino emerge from the rocks only to find that Gotsumon is holding the old man. "Drop your devices," he threatens. The old man begins to shout, "Mercurimon, are you watching this? I just want to speak to you." Mercurimon tells Gotsumon to bring the man to him.

Once Masaru is able to get above ground, he finds the other's digivices. He heads for Mercurimon telling Ikuto that they'll have to resume their fight later. Falcomon turns to Ikuto saying, "I feel there's something different between them and the humans that killed Yukidarumon. Could there be good people amongst the humans?" Ikuto pictures Yukidarumon. "Impossible!" he says angrily.

Not far off, the old man if facing Mercurimon. Touma and Yoshino are shocked when Mercurimon remembers him from ten years ago. The pieces fall into place. He must have been a member of the Digital World Exploration Team. The old man asks the huge digimon why he has to attack the human world. Mercurimon insists it was the humans that fired the first shot! He said "that man" made a deal with them ... for peace with the Digital World and the human world, neither side can attack the other. Yoshino questions who "that man" is. Mercurimon continues angrily talking of the massacre of digimon by humans.

Elsewhere, Ikuto is again fighting Masaru saying how Yukidarumon was killed. "What do you mean kill?" Masaru questions, "If a Digimon lost in battle, don't they revert to Digitama? They don't die." Ikuto screams, "Yukidarumon was reduced to nothing and never returned." Flashbacks show the brutality of troops (led by someone still unknown) that entered the Digital World and wiped out innocent Digimon. No data was left of them.

The old man can't believe what he hears and denies that humans did this. This enrages Mercurimon and using his powerful fist attacks. As Mercurimon is about to attack again, Masaru leaps from an upper ledge and slugs. Masaru's hand glows of digisoul. He throws Touma and Yoshino their digi-vices.
DigiSoul ..... Full Charge!!!
Agumon evolves to RiseGreymon
Gaogamon evolves to MachGaogamon
Raramon evolves to Lilamon

The battle begins, but Mercurimon's "Thousand fist" is too powerful and soon our digimon heroes are sent flying. Masaru orders the three to combine their powers and work together. The power of their attacks caused Mercurimon some damage and actually opened a digital gate. The blast, however, knocked Ikuto out cold. An angry Mercurimon retaliated and unleashed a blast so powerful that all of the Digimon partners were reduced to rookies and pretty beaten up. Mercurimon was about to wipe them out totally when the old man jumped in...."Kamemon, realize!!"
Digisoul charge! Kamemon evolved to Gawappamon! (A very optimistic adult level digimon. Special attack is DJ Shooter where fast, rotating discs are released from its head.)
Gawappamon uses DJ Shooter to bring down the castle. The old man hands Masaru Ikuto and orders them back to the human world!

Just as Mercurimon prepares a mighty attack, Masaru, Yoshino, Touma and the others jump into the Digital gate. The old man is left behind, but Falcomon has managed to jump through with the others. They land in the waters of Japan where Captain Satsuma arrives on helicopter to retrieve them.

Did the old man survive that powerful blast? Just who is he? ....Find out in the next exciting episode!
