Realizing that prolonging the fight might cause the caves to collapse and kill the prisoners, Mikey decides to surrender and gives AncientVolcanomon a fake Fusion Loader. With Shoutmon the only member of the Fusion Fighters not to realize the deception, Mikey explains that the surrender allows them to find the prisoners. Once at the cell, Cutemon learns from a Prairiemon that his parents have transferred to a different facility with Mikey and Dorulumon convincing him that there is still hope as his parents are still alive.
