Mimi then flies to the roof of the throne room to tell this information to Catherine and Yolei.
Mimi Tachikawa: Come on, we've gotta get back to the cottage.
Catherine Deneuve: Ze cottáge?
Miyako 'Yolei' Inoue: But, why now?
Mimi Tachikawa: I'll explain on the way, but we must hurry back to the cottage, now.
All three of them rush back to the cottage in the glen as quickly as they possibly can, but not before Yolei makes the time to put out the last of the lights in the palace. As they rush back to the cottage, Mimi explains the sudden need to get back to them on the way.
Meanwhile back within the forest that evening, Prince T.K. is riding along in the sky just beneath the trees' joint canopy on Pegasusmon's back and whistling to the tune of the mystery girl's song at the very idea of going to see his beloved where she lived.
As he nears the cottage, Prince T.K. feels more and more elated. He adjusts his hat and tries to look a little more presentable for the girl of his dreams. When he looks at Pegasusmon and waves his hands in the air while holding them together, Pegasusmon gives a nod of approval. T.K. knocks on the front door to the cottage and enters upon hearing...
Mysterious Female Voice: Come in.
T.K. takes a good look inside and notices that it's darker than he had imagined his crush's home to look like. Then as though things cannot possibly get any stranger than they already are, they do just that.
The front door closes on its own as though the cottage is haunted. Then, Prince T.K. starts to hear scary voices and feels things grabbing at him.
Finally, the owner of the voice he had heard outside just a few minutes ago presents herself as a witch... not just any witch, though. She is none other than Laylamon, the digital mistress of all evil.
Lillithmon/Laylamon: Well, this is a pleasant surprise. I set my trap for a peasant and, lo, I catch a prince!
T.K. is completely angry with her as he is now tied up and gagged.
Laylamon cackles up an evil chuckle.
Lillithmon/Laylamon (continued): Away with him, but gently, my pets, gently. I have plans for our royal guest.
They even capture Pegasusmon and take him away against his own will, too. Luckily for the two of them and the three good fairies, someone happens to be watching them from a distance. Actually, it is an assortment of someones. The leader of the someones sees the way it happens, and she is enraged yet afraid.
Feminine voice: Did you just see that? They captured our lady's love.
An owl and several birds hoot and tweet at her about the whole thing.
Feminine voice (continued): Of course, I want to go after them, but that was the digital mistress of all evil, herself. She's the most powerful and destructive force in the land. I may be your leader, but even my strength is no match for her. We would need help.
Suddenly they notice a few mysterious lights come rushing in and looking like they're in a hurry. The figure with the animals steps out of the shadows and reveals herself to be none other than Nefertimon, the forest animals' leader, and finally heads towards the cottage to get a better look at the lights that have just flown into the cottage.
Nefertimon: Who do you suppose that was?
The owl among her forest animal followers hooted something to her.
Nefertimon (continued): No, they couldn't have any minion of Laylamon's. They were much too bright in appearance.
Nefertimon and her forest animals follow the three lights inside only to hear three women gasp at something or other.
