Iris urges her friends to go to the Dimensional Area Laboratory, and they oblige. However, along the way, Zoano JapanMan appears and makes the journey difficult for the children, but their NetNavis substantiate and battle. Iris is damaged during battle, though, and revealed to be nothing more than a CopyBot. Reaching the lab, the children meet a holographic image of Tadashi, the Beyondard alternate of Lan's grandfather. He explains Beyondard's past before the children discover a war-torn Baryl outside of the lab.
