The group quickly jumps into action to defend the Digimon but is surprised to find that Ken is frozen in place, unable to help. When the battle is over, Ken shuts down and begins to experience an intense headache.
As the group tries to figure out what's wrong with him, Ken confesses that he used to be a Digimon Emperor, a cruel dictator who used his power to enslave and control other Digimon. He reveals that he was able to do this because he stumbled upon an unknown power that gave him the ability to control the digital world.
This unknown power is revealed to be a Dark Seed, a source of evil that has been infecting Digimon and corrupting their minds. When Ken stumbled upon it in the past, it corrupted him and gave him absolute power over the digital world. The group realizes that someone is trying to use Ken's past to take control of the digital world once again.
As they continue their journey, they encounter Oikawa, a mysterious man who seems to know about the Dark Seed and Ken's past. He offers Ken a way to rid himself of the power that has been haunting him for so long but warns that it might come at a steep price.
Ken is left with a difficult decision as he struggles with the idea of giving up his power and accepting his past. Meanwhile, the group continues to fight off enemies that are trying to take advantage of their weak state.
In the end, Ken makes a decision that surprises everyone. He accepts Oikawa's offer and sacrifices everything to rid himself of the power that once corrupted him. The group watches in awe as he is freed from the Dark Seed's hold, shedding his past and becoming a true ally.
