"Without a doubt, you and your friends bare a huge weight to carry, for the sake of the city... perhaps, even the world."
Set in the year 3000, the Earth has vastly changed from how we know it.A disaster in 2012 left everything in near-ruins, and now, even one thousand years on, humanity is still struggling to find it's feet. As if this wasn't bad enough, the presense of strange creatures threatens the inhabitants of Neo Tokyo, a city that seems to be the epicenter of the attacks.
Enter Amy, a student from England studying abroad (with more reasons to her visit beyond her studies), and Joey, a young man searching for his missing grandfather whilst working under the mysterious corporation 'Arch Angel', whom seem to be distributing Digimon out to the general public as 'digital assistants'.
Both of them become entangled in the personal quest of Barghestmon, whom becomes their mentor, and that of the conflict between the enigmatic Arch Angel and a group of rebellious teenagers known as The Resistance.
As if that isn't enough to contend with, a deadly virus is infecting and corrupting the Digital World at an alarming rate, causing many of the inhabitants to turn to drastic measures.

It's also balancing a sizeable and colourful cast on top of a plotline that is better than it sounds.

- The Virus: despite the virus affecting the digital world sounding like a 'computer virus', the true nature of it is much harsher; a deadly illness that quickly affects digimon and strips their intelligence, rationality and emotion away whilst temporarily weakening the infected digimon before developing into a flesh-eating stage, and boosting the strength and endurance to terrifying levels. Digimon affected no longer feel the need to eat or sleep, instead driven purely on instinct and bloodlust.
- A World Half Full
- Walk into Mordor: The deepest level of Arch Angel has no security cameras, has only standalone computers to prevent from being hacked or spied on by outside parties and normally requires high level access keycards to enter. The only way Yalimon, Panthermon, Cadmemon and Tanukimon got in was making the most of the rest of a botched opportunity from a fake government inspection whilst everyone else was on the higher levels. A race against the clock and an elevator was involved.
