The next part of the article will be a in depth explanation of the plot

The story line that is shown starts in the summer of 1986, when we see a 12 year old named T.K. at his summer camp cabin with fellow camp mates Matt (16), Mimi (16), Tai (15), Sora (15), and Izzy (14). Eventually, a seventh camper named Joe (17) shows up and as this happens, the group is sucked away by a giant green wave. When landing on a different surface, they meet seven monsters named Tentomon, Gabumon, Gomamon, Agumon, Biyomon, Palmon and Patamon, and they are telling them they are digimon, digital monsters. Eventually, they are attacked by another one named Kuwagamon as they are sent to a possible death by the horns of Kuwagamon nearly destroying the cliff they were on. This represents their arrival in the digital world.

As this is happening, there was a council meeting in a giant building in a place called High Chariot, where a man named Ken (36) was facing a trial for failing to get the data that he was tasked to get from a city in digital world California named Corneria. This failure possibly put the entire digital world at a certain level of risk, and many digimon call him a traitor, and he is forced to brandish the mark of the heretic as a result of the failure of his trial, but soon enough, Chancellor Ophanimon, and her pupil Gennai gave him a chance to redeem himself.

As that is going down, there is a forty year old man named Sheldon Lee who has gotten home from his current shift, all tired and battered, and he goes to his room, and as he does this, he thinks about his life story, as well as his family. Despite his best thoughts to lie to them and keep them safe, he takes out a bunch of CD's, and then he starts to tell the story inside of them. The story of his life, left in will to his child when he dies soon.

At the same time, in his police office, 43 year old David Parker, at the time the sheriff, gets a mysterious letter from a man named Jeffrey Woods, and David sees that this is the chance he has to get the real story of Jeff the killer. So with that, he drives over to the designated meeting area to have the meeting with Jeff, who confesses to all the killings but in return, David listens to his side of the story, and David obliges and starts recording.

At the same time, back into the digital world, the heroes we met at the start survive the fall, and over the course of the next several days, the humans learn more about each other and their seven digimon all start to digivolve, which is a form of gaining power. Agumon transforms into Greymon while saving the group from a digimon named Shellmon, Gabumon digivolves to Garurumon after defeating Seadramon, Biyomon digivolves to Birdramon after defeating Meramon, Tentomon digivolves to Kabuterimon after fighting Andromon, Palmon digivolves to Togemon after defeating Mozaemon, and Gomamon digivolves to Ikkakumon after defeating Unimon. Eventually, the group reaches a mansion where they meet Devimon, their main enemy, who sends them to different segments of the digital world.

As this is happening, Ken is finally given a contract by Chancellor Ophanimon, who states that despites Ken's failure, he is not a heretic, and that he is a chance to redeem himself by killing Devimon at Mount Albert, a mountain in Colorado, the highest mountain in the digital world, and he accepts the offer, taking the title of the Blade Runner, a title that is given by the chancellor to the most disgraced war general in their rule as chancellor in a chance to redeem themselves. They are forced to spend either the rest of their life, or the rest of the chancellors terms, whichever comes first, doing contracts for them. Every chancellor is allowed to appoint one of them in their term, but they can only appoint one, and Ken is her appointee. Ken leaves High Chariot the next day to do his contract.
