Taiki and the other members of Xros Heart arrive at the surface to find Kiriha and Nene fighting Blastmon and are ambushed by Baalmon, who shoots Taiki's Xros Loader out of his hand. Taiki and the others retreat behind the cliff face. Dorulumon tells Taiki that Baalmon is an assassin working for the Bagra Army. Baalmon chases them to a dead end and Taiki makes a desperate attempt to reach the Xros Loader when Baalmon's shots break the rockface open, revealing a statue of a masked angelic figure. The sight prompts Baalmon to stop attacking and knock the Xros Loader back to Taiki, saying that he now has a reason to fight fairly. Taiki [=DigiXroses=] Shoutmon X4, which is barely able to keep up with Baalmon's speed. Taiki comments that Baalmon fights more like a warrior than an assassin. At the Bagra Army headquarters, Lilithmon questions Baalmon's competence for not having defeated Xros Heart as an unknown Digimon waits at the back of the room. Meanwhile, Nene and Kiriha continue their attack on Blastmon. Blastmon counters by knocking Sparrowmon and Cyberdramon back with his tail and firing his crystals off in every direction. Several of these land near the statue, collapsing the cliff under Taiki and forcing the others to run away.
In a cave at the bottom of the cliff, Taiki tries and fails to contact the others, but sees that the statue has fallen with him. Taiki approaches the statue, which begins to glow brightly. As Taiki also begins to glow, Baalmon reveals himself and refers to the mysterious glow as the Light of the Warrior. Baalmon tells Taiki that the goddess depicted by the statue has acknowledged him as her warrior and explains that the Sand Zone was once ruled and protected by Digimon chosen in this manner with an Angemon as their leader. Baalmon leads Taiki out of the chamber as Blastmon's attack begins to collapse the ceiling. On the surface, Blastmon refuses to continue fighting now that his attack has made him less shiny. Nene tells Kiriha that Taiki has the Code Crown. Kiriha is unsurprised and the two leave the Sand Zone. Baalmon leads Taiki through a ruined corridor and Taiki wonders if Baalmon knows his way around so well because he was one of the goddess's warriors. Baalmon tells Taiki that he was never one of them, but refuses to explain further. Zenjirou and the others search for Taiki on the surface as a robotic Digimon sneaks up on them and shoots Xros Heart's Digimon with an attack that sends them into a mindless rage.
Baalmon shoots several [=KoDokugumon=] that appeared behind Taiki. As they continue through the corridor, Baalmon explains that the ruins were the capital of the Sand Zone, named Sandria[[note]]Silicalia[[/note]], until a tragedy occurred, after which the city was buried under the sands and the [=KoDokugumon=] began to infest the area. They reach a collapsed section of tunnel and Taiki uses the Guilmon [=DigiMemory=] to tunnel through. They come out in a large chamber where a battle was fought. Baalmon explains that this chamber was where he fought and killed the goddess's warriors. In the past, Baalmon had been training to become one of the goddess's warriors, but was angry that the goddess would not acknowledge him despite his strength. The warriors fell when someone used a cursed seal with a strange sound to turn them against each other, eventually attacking Baalmon who had to kill them in self-defense. In the present, Baalmon says that the goddess acknowledging Taiki may have also been a message for him not to kill the boy, which would make it the first time that the goddess has acknowledged Baalmon at all. Baalmon tells Taiki that he joined the Bagra Army to find the one who destroyed the warriors. At the end of the tunnel, Baalmon brings Taiki to the surface, but are attacked by Shoutmon and the other Digimon. Baalmon recognizes the seal and brings Taiki to Akari and Zenjirou, who are hiding from the Digimon. Shoutmon and the others drive Taiki out of hiding, but Taiki refuses to let Baalmon fight them. Lilithmon reveals her presence and explains that she used an [=EBEmon=] to bewitch Xros Heart's Digimon to see each other as enemies, just as she had the goddess's warriors. Baalmon shoots [=EBEmon=], breaking the spell, and tells Lilithmon that he was looking for her so that he could avenge the deaths of the warriors. Lilithmon stabs Baalmon with poisoned fingernails. Taiki again [=DigiXroses=] Shoutmon X4, which destroys [=EBEmon=] and protects Baalmon from a second attack by Lilithmon, but Baalmon collapses from Lilithmon's poison.
!!Tropes:
* AlienBlood: Angemon had glowing white blood.
* {{Bowdlerize}}: While the statue of the goddess isn't removed, she's referred to as "the queen" and "the Light" in the dub and the warriors are called the Warriors of the Light. Angemon's blood is also removed. As before, Revolmon is recolored.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [=EBEmon=]'s weapon can inflict this on other Digimon, causing them to attack each other and rampage mindlessly.
* TheChosenOne: Being acknowledged by the goddess is this. As of this episode, Taiki is the only one with this status.
* TheChosenMany: The goddess's warriors were this before they started killing each other. Baalmon was never able to become one of them.
* CoolMask: The goddess's statue has a very familiar-looking three-eyed mask.
* EnergyWeapon: [=EBEmon=]'s mind control ability and a regular attack manifest as these.
* EngagingChevrons: Shoutmon X4's first [=DigiXros=] sequence is cut off, but the second one isn't.
* ExtendableArms: Lilithmon can extend her arm to use her poison attack.
* FastTunnelling: Taiki uses the Guilmon [=DigiMemory=] to tunnel through a collapse section of corridor.
* FemmeFatalons: Lilithmon has poisonous ones. She uses them on Baalmon.
* TheFightingNarcissist: Once again, Blastmon. He even leaves once his crystals lose their shine.
* FlashStep: [=EBEmon=] is able to get behind Shoutmon X4 with one of these, though it doesn't help it at all.
* GemstoneAssault: Blastmon lets off a big omnidirectional one, kicking off many of the episode's events.
* GiantSpider: While not nearly as large as most examples of this trope, the [=KoDokugumon=] are larger than any real spider.
* TheGreys: [=EBEmon=] is a robotic version.
* KickTheDog: Lilithmon takes the opportunity to do this when she realizes the Baalmon knew the goddess's warriors.
* MachineMonotone: [=EBEmon=] has this in the dub. In the original, it just makes some electronic vocal stutters.
* {{Magitek}}: [=EBEmon=]'s mind-altering ability is described by Lilithmon as a glamour spell.
* MindControlEyes: Digimon under [=EBEmon=]'s spell have these. With Shoutmon and the others, their eyes just go dull. The Karatenmon in the flashback, on the other hand, have their pupils dilated and the rest of their eyes entirely red.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Baalmon's reaction when he killed Angemon.
* PoisonousPerson: Lilithmon's fingernails are poisoned.
* {{Revenge}}: Revealed to be Baalmon's goal. He wants revenge on Lilithmon for killing the warriors.
* StabTheScorpion: Baalmon shoots several Kodokugumon that were about to ambush Taiki, who thought that Baalmon was attacking him at first.
* TailSlap: Cyberdramon and Blastmon both do this. Blastmon's is [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom rather more effective]].
* TronLines: The ruined corridor has similar ones to the previous episode, except these are green.
* UnusualWeaponMounting: Shoutmon X4's Vulcans, which are above his eyes.
