On the way there, they meet Biyomon running from a hostile Snimon. The group escapes their pursuer by jumping on a river and once at safety, they make a raft so they can continue their journey by navigating on it. While traveling by the river, the four are ambushed by a Coelamon and the Snimon, and while Agumon evolves into Greymon to face the Coelamon, Biyomon evolves into Birdramon once Sora also attains her own Digivice to fight Snimon.

Their conversation is interrupted when an army of Dokugumon led by Ogremon attacks them, while the Whamon where Koshiro and Tentomon are is attacked by a horde of Tylomon.

In the occasion, Koshiro contacts them and reveals that time in the Digital World flows much faster than in the Human World, thus they have more time to stop the outages in Tokyo than they believed at first.
