The film flips the script by having Kurumon emerge from screens into the real world, tasking the zero two team with gathering them in Tokyo while Tai and Matt enter the internet to stop Diaboromon.

The digidestined and local kids use their phones to capture Kurumon, defeating Armageddemon.
Conclusion
The movie concludes quickly with Armageddemon defeated and the sun rising.
