History Recap / DigimonFrontierE28TakuyasFusionEvolutionArdhamonsExplosiveAttack

With only two areas left, Sephirotmon decides to take matters into his own hands...

Agnimon searches for a way out in the hopes of finding Kouji, and ends up running into Mercuremon in an area full of mirrors. Outside, Bokomon and Neemon look over Seraphimon’s egg, and the kids see an image of Agnimon and Mercuremon in one of the spheres.

Agnimon demands to know how Mercuremon and Sephirotmon can exist at the same time, but Mercuremon is elusive and taunts him. They begin to fight, but Mercuremon has the advantage with his ability to hide inside mirrors, move between them, and manipulate them around Agnimon.

Agnimon pursues Mercuremon around Sephirotmon's areas, and eventually reaches an area that looks like a large chapel. Mercuremon uses [[Recap/DigimonFrontierE13BetterAnEggThanAnEggShell the data he scanned of Seraphimon]] to transform himself into [=BlackSeraphimon=][[note]][=ShadowSeraphimon=][[/note]]. Agnimon is a sitting duck against [=BlackSeraphimon=], and even after slide evolving to Vritramon isn't able to do anything. Outside, Junpei, Izumi, Tomoki, Bokomon, and Neemon watch the battle and realize that the only thing that could save Takuya would be if he were able to double spirit evolve.

[=BlackSeraphimon=] defeats Vritramon, causing him to revert to Takuya, and summons a coffin to shut Takuya in. The three kids outside, determined to save Takuya, try again to break into Sephirotmon by spirit evolving and attacking, and even though they're unable to do it, their determination to save Takuya, combined with Takuya being near death at the hands of [=BlackSeraphimon=] and Bokomon praying to Seraphimon's egg to give Takuya some of his power, causes Seraphimon's egg to give Takuya the ability to double spirit evolve. Feeling the encouragement of his friends, Takuya declares that he won't lose and double spirit evolves to Ardhamon[[note]]Aldamon[[/note]].

Ardhamon defeats and scans [=BlackSeraphimon=], causing Seraphimon's data to return to his [=DigiEgg=]. Mercuremon, however, escapes into Sephirotmon's top sphere, the Steel Area, where Ardhamon follows him. Ardhamon burns up and melts all of the mirrors in the area, giving Mercuremon no place to hide, and Ardhamon defeats and scans Mercuremon into nothing. Ardhamon escapes Sephirotmon and joins up with the others as Takuya, and Seraphimon's egg finally hatches into Patamon. Bokomon begins to call it his "son-daughter", and the other kids fawn over Patamon. Meanwhile, [[TheEndOrIsIt a symbol on Sephirotmon begins to glow...]]

!!Tropes
* AlienSky: The sky of Mercuremon's area is primarily comprised of a corroded-looking pattern of dull reds, yellows and purples. A "sky" with an identical pattern except for the stained glass windows is visible in the CreepyCathedral next door.
* AloneWithThePsycho: With everyone else free of Spehirotmon and unable to get back in, Takuya is left on his own to deal with Mercuremon.
* CastingAShadow: [=BlackSeraphimon=].
* ClothingDamage: [=BlackSeraphimon=]'s NoHoldsBarredBeatdown breaks Takuya's goggles.
* CreepyCathedral: Mercuremon fights Takuya in one of these as [=BlackSeraphimon=]. Considering his over-dramatic personality, it fits.
* CrystalLandscape: Mercuremon's area in Spehirotmon's topmost sphere has crystal-like metal formations everywhere in addition to all the mirrors. They're just as polished as the mirrors, so Mercuremon can [[MagicMirror use them in the same ways]].
* DeusExMachina: Izumi and Junpei lampshade this when the kids suggest Takuya might be saved with double spirit evolution.
-->'''Izumi''': Sure, Kouji could do it [double spirit evolution], but...\\
'''Junpei''': ...Wouldn't that be a little too convenient?
** By the time [=BlackSeraphimon=] is about to completely finish off Takuya, they end up begging for a miracle to happen and save him.
* ElementalPunch: Ardhamon finishes Mercuremon off with one of these.
* EyeCatch: Takuya and Junpei's variants are used for this episode.
* FallenAngel: [=BlackSeraphimon=]'s appearance invokes this, complete with the feathers of Seraphimon's angelic wings flying away to reveal demonic bat wings.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: When Ardhamon scans Mercuremon, rather than turn into a digiegg, he vanishes, much like the digimon that have been within Sephirotmon.
* GogglesDoNothing: There really was no point in Seraphimon's power repairing Takuya's broken goggles other than the fact that it [[RuleOfCool looked really cool]].
* HeroicSecondWind: Takuya getting the ability to double spirit evolve is this. His goggles are even magically repaired drive it home.
* MagicMirror: Mercuremon can move between any of the polished surfaces in his area.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Mercuremon dishes one out to Takuya as [=BlackSeraphimon=].
* NoSell: As Ardhamon, Takuya just shrugs off [=BlackSeraphimon=]'s [[UnholyNuke Seven Hells]][[note]]Strike of the Seven Dark Stars[[/note]], which mere minutes before had obliterated Vritramon.
* OhCrap:
** Mercuremon has this when Takuya becomes Ardhamon.
** PlayedForLaughs when Bokomon sees Seraphimon's data coming back to his egg...[[HarmlessElectrocution which is in his belt]].
* RecycledSoundtrack:
** "Requiem" from ''Our War Game'' plays during [=BlackSeraphimon=]'s NoHoldsBarredBeatdown against Takuya.
** Patamon's birth is accompanied by "Victory ~Theme of Good~ 2" from ''[[Anime/DigimonAdventure Adventure]]'', as a CallBack to Patamon's status as a major character in that series.
* StrongAsTheyNeedToBe: Ardhamon is pretty much Takuya's equivalent of an Ultimate-level[[note]]Mega-level[[/note]], and one could make a good argument for [[FallenAngel BlackSeraphimon]] being the same for Mercuremon. Ardhamon's showing in this episode is more like a [[Manga/DigimonVTamer01 Super Ultimate]] in this episode than an Ultimate.
* UnholyNuke: [=BlackSeraphimon=]'s Seven Hells attack.
* VillainousBreakdown: Mercuremon has one when he realizes that he can't beat Takuya's Ardhamon form.
* TheWorfBarrage: [=BlackSeraphimon=]'s Seven Hells attack doesn't even scratch Ardhamon. Considering Seraphimon's leftover power allowed Takuya and Kouji to double spirit evolve, it's likely that Mercuremon didn't have ''all'' of Seraphimon's power.
