Episode Title:
Train of Terror!.
Episode Description:
The wave of darkness that Mikey Kudo is ensnared by while traveling to the Dust Zone is revealed as Axeknightmon’s evil doing. Axeknightmon claims Nene Amano is within the remains of the Blazing Orb named Gehanna. When Mikey is unable to touch it due to being pure of heart, Axeknightmon discards him off a tower with Angie Hinomoto saving him by shoving Dorulumon in the way. Mikey Kudo, Angie Hinomoto, and Jeremy Tsurgi are ambushed by a gang of MetalMamemon before Mikey's Fusion Loader is stolen by their leader named Garbagemon. The gang of MetalMamemon, Garbagemon, and his ShadowToyAgumon followers escape with the aid of Trailmon Kettle. During the pursuit, Mikey, Shoutmon, and Dorulumon end up caught between the trains’ tracks as different Trailmon pass by, which discard trash all around. Mikey's group has an encounter with Puppetmon, who is a moody resident that reveals the Dust Zone is nothing but a garbage dump wasteland ruled by GranLocomon. The discarded Dust Zone residents have to provide mecha through dishonest methods just to survive. When Mikey's Fusion Loader is mentioned, Puppetmon's behavior suddenly changes as he offers to help Mikey. Once the Fusion Fighters find the location of Garbagemon's gang, Puppetmon steals Mikey's Fusion Loader so he can use it to get GranLocomon to give him safe passage out of the Dust Zone. However, GranLocomon reveals to have no intent as he proceeds to have the Fusion Loader installed so he can reach the ideal speed to break into the Zone Portal with the Dust Zone demolished in the process. With a repentant Puppetmon's help, the Fusion Fighters regain Mikey's Fusion Loader and Shoutmon ×4 destroys GranLocomon. Though it seems the worse is behind them, the Fusion Fighters, Puppetmon, and Garbagemon's group are unexpectedly attacked by Axeknightmon with the support of SkullGreymon, SkullSatamon, and Christopher after he touches the Blazing Orb.
