Meanwhile, in the Real World.
Tokyo, a clean hospital room.
"Sora, how much longer will you sleep? Who did this to you?"
By the hospital bed, Yamato looked at the unconscious Sora, silently shedding two lines of tears.
A month ago, Sora was attacked by an unknown assailant at school, suffering severe abdominal injuries.
Most critically, the doctors said her brain had suffered some kind of irreversible major trauma.
If her condition worsened, Sora could potentially fall into a vegetative state, never to wake again.
This filled Yamato, who had been at the school that day and whose frivolous behavior had upset Sora, with a slight sense of guilt.
However, the one he hated the most wasn't himself, but...
"Damn it!!! It's not my fault! It's all Taichi's fault! If he had answered your phone that day, how could this tragedy have happened?! How does Taichi treat an important partner?! Just because you didn't want to be his girlfriend, he has to retaliate like this?!"
Yamato was furious, punching the hospital bed.
That was just his nature.
When things went wrong, he never blamed himself, always shifting the blame onto others.
This twisted, unpleasant personality had caused issues numerous times ten years ago.
Now, ten years later, after a smooth-sailing life, Yamato's character had become even more distorted.
"Stop shouting in the hospital room! The patient needs rest!"
Just as Yamato was yelling, a stern voice came from outside the room.
"I know!" Yamato shouted back angrily, his tone very rude.
However, he didn't notice that the so-called nurse, upon leaving the corridor, curled her lips into a strange smile.
If Yamato had looked out at that moment, his pupils would have surely contracted sharply.
This figure, bundled up tightly, exuding a dark aura, was none other than the boss who had once plunged the Chosen Children into great crisis ten years ago… Devimon!
"Yamato and Sora are in the hospital and won't be appearing for a while."
"Koshiro and Hikari have gone to the United States to search for their partner's traces and won't be in Tokyo for now."
"The other Chosen Children all have their own matters to attend to. The probability of them obstructing the plan is less than 10%." Devimon arrived at a dark corner and spoke softly into a phone.
"In that case…"
"Commence the Tokyo Sinking Plan!"
Somewhere on a street in Tokyo.
"Darling, have a bite~"
"Ew! I don't want to eat something so sweet, I'll get fat~"
"Just one bite, just one, here~"
"Ah! No!"
A sweet young couple was being affectionate on the street.
The girl, full of shyness, accidentally knocked her boyfriend's ice cream to the ground in her fluster.
"It's fine, it's fine, just throw it in the trash." The boyfriend gently stroked the girl's hair, picked up the ice cream, and tossed it towards a nearby trash can.
At that moment…
"Ahhhhhhh! Don't flaunt your love like this! Damn humans!" A pink, snot-like creature suddenly jumped out of the trash can.
On its wrist was a Dark Ring.
It was a Trashmon sent by Taichi to the Real World, lurking silently until now.
"Monster!" The girl was terrified and tried to hide in the man's chest, only to find the previously gentle man had long since vanished without a trace.
"Hahahaha, the Master was right! Love in the human world is such a fragile and worthless thing!"
"Die! Poop Bazooka!" On the streets of Tokyo, a shockwave filled with garbage and vomit swept across the entire road.
At the foot of Mount Fuji, a effeminate-looking handsome man gazed out the window with a twisted expression.
'After I get this money, I'm never serving this fat woman again.' The effeminate man swore silently, rubbing his sore eyebrows.
However, just then…
Roar!
A tremendous roar came from the direction of Mount Fuji.
"What's happening? Is the volcano erupting?" The portly rich woman kicked the effeminate man aside. Looking out the window, her eyes instantly filled with terror.
At the foot of Mount Fuji, over ten giant mammoths, each over fifty meters tall and over a hundred meters long, let out long, white breaths from their trunks as they advanced towards the city.
With each step they took, the ground shook violently.
Every hundred meters, they let out a long cry, as if signaling to something even farther away.
"Am I dreaming? Are these monsters? They must be monsters! Ultraman, is Ultraman coming?" The effeminate man looked out the window despondently, muttering crazily.
Tokyo Bay, a port.
Several lazy dockworkers hid behind containers, drinking and gambling.
"Big, big, I bet on big!"
"Ah, it's small again."
"Chishiro, you old dog, are you cheating? Hurry up, give us the money." As the workers, hiccupping from alcohol, pushed each other,
BOOM!
A sudden violent tremor made everyone shudder and fall to the ground.
"What's going on? Another tsunami?"
"The weather station didn't issue a warning. Must be a sudden event."
"Let's go back. A storm's coming soon." The experienced workers glanced at the weather and, looking annoyed, were about to head home when a figure that blotted out the sky suddenly burst from the sea, filling everyone's field of vision.
"Th-that's..." The worker called Chishiro looked on in terror, his whole body trembling as he stared at the creature before him.
'What is that?!'
In the workers' sight, a whale of unimaginable size, its head covered in black, shell-like material, looked extremely frightening.
"Sea monster! The Tokyo Bay's sea monster is here! Run!" After a brief moment of panic, the workers scrambled, racing each other to flee back into the port.
However, it was futile.
The terrifying Whamon, hundreds of meters in size, merely flicked its tail, and stirred up a giant wave that covered most of the harbor, sweeping all the humans on the shore into the sea.
Moreover, deep under the sea, countless pairs of eyes shimmered with a red glow.
There were many more like him!
[Breaking News: Two hours ago, multiple monster attacks occurred across Tokyo. Mountainous areas, cities, ports, villages… none were spared. A parliament member issued a statement suggesting it was a premeditated terrorist attack. Meanwhile, experts point out this might be a new type of natural disaster, merely manifesting in the form of monsters.]

In a simple house in Tokyo, Joe, who had been studying for the unified exams all day, widened his eyes in shock.
"This... this is..."
"Digimon?!"
