Zoano SnakeMan and Zoano GutsMan are subdued, but Zoano DarkMan is issued to capture Trill himself. The heroes are overwhelmed by his power, but Iris's NetNavi is able to assist in the protection of Trill, and she carefully houses him within Iris's PET. However, upon appearing in the real world with a CopyBot, DarkMan captures Iris and uses a device that opens a portal to Beyondard in the real world, and Lan, Chaud, Raika, Dingo, and Maylu are transported there with him.

On the way to the Wily Laboratory, Lan and his friends are attacked by Zoano CutMan, but a mysterious NetNavi EraseMan appears to delete CutMan himself. EraseMan is operated by the enigmatic boy named Dark Scythe who seems to have a connection to the Beyondard alternate of Maysa. Meanwhile, the younger brothers of CutMan formulate a plan to get revenge on Scythe by holding Maysa hostage.
