The DigiDestined Meet the CardCaptors
[On a bright and sunny afternoon in Reedington, ten-year-old Sakura Avalon was walking home from school with her best friend Madison Taylor.]
SAKURA: No more school! This is going to be the best summer vacation ever! I just know it!
MADISON: No more homework, no more sitting in class. I will miss music class, though.
SAKURA: Yeah, me too. And gym.
MADISON: So what do you have planned for your vacation, Sakura?
SAKURA: Well, I was thinking that we could... Huh?
[Sakura stops and looks quickly around.]
MADISON: What is it, Sakura?
SAKURA: Huh? Oh, nothing. I thought I felt a Clow Card, but it must have been a false alarm.
MADISON: Oh, that's too bad.
SAKURA: Anyway, my dad is taking Tori and I to Tokyo for two weeks and if you want to come, you can.
MADISON: Oh, Sakura, that's just great! I'm sure my parents will let me go!
[They walk away, talking excitedly. A few blocks away from them, a breeze blows a single card down the street, up into the air, and away.
[Meanwhile, in Odaiba, TK Takaishi, Kari Kamiya, Mimi Tachikawa, and Izzy Izumi were sitting under a tree in the park.]
TK: Hmmm. I'm bored. What do you want to do?
KARI: I don't know.
MIMI: Me neither.
IZZY: How about measuring the distance...
TK, KARI, & MIMI: No!
MIMI: Sorry, Izzy, but it's not something you do over your vacation.
IZZY: I thin it's fun.
KARI: This is ridiculous. One week into summer vacation and we've run out of things to do.
TK: Matt's off at music camp. Tai and Sora are at soccer camp. Joe's volunteered for summer school.
KARI: Again.
[Mr. and Mrs. Tachikawa are walking nearby, and upon seeing the kids, walk over.]
MRS. TACHIKAWA: Now, why all the long faces.
MR. TACHIKAWA: This is supposed to be your summer of fun!
MIMI: Yeah, but there's nothing to do.
MRS. TACHIKAWA: Well, I think we can take care of that. How about you four come on a two-week trip to Tokyo with Mimi and us.
KARI: Really? I'm in! Oh, thank you!
TK: If Kari's going, I'm going!
IZZY: My calculations indicate that we should have lots of fun.
MIMI: I guess that means you're coming.
IZZY: Absolutely!
[In Tokyo, however, a swirling dimensional vortex has opened above the city. It is, though, invisible to all the citizens.]
[A week later in a plane bound for Tokyo, Sakura and Madison are chatting happily while Sakura's father, her brother Tori, and Tori's friend Julian talk quietly amongst themselves. A boy with brown hair walks up the aisle and stops suddenly when he sees Sakura and Madison.]
SAKURA: Oh, hey, Li! Are you going to Tokyo too?
LI: Yeah. Meilin's here too. Her dad is on a business trip and he invited me to come along.
MADISON: That sounds like fun!
LI: Not really. I didn't have any thing else planned, though. Well, I should get back to my seat. See you around!
[Li walks away and doesn't notice Sakura watching him before she and Madison resume their conversation.]
MADISON: Poor, Li. He doesn't seem to be too happy.
SAKURA: Yeah.
[From inside Sakura's bag on her lap, Kero pokes his head out from the pocket.]
KERO: How much longer? It's getting stuffy in here.
SAKURA: Ah! Keep it down, Kero! You're going to attract attention! Now get back inside.
KERO: Okay, I just want to know if you have any cake? Candy?
[Sakura hands him a candy bar from her pocket and he ducks back into the bag as a girl with long black hair approaches.]
SAKURA: Hey, Meilin!
MEILIN: Hi. Li told me you two were on the plane.
MADISON: What do you plan to do in Tokyo?
MEILIN: I don't know. We haven't really talked yet.
MADISON: Where are you staying?
MEILIN: At the Hilton.
SAKURA: So are we! We should all get together and do some shopping or something.
MEILIN: That's sounds like fun.
PILOT: Please return to your seats. We will now be arriving at tokyo Airport.
MEILIN: See you later.
[Later that same day, at the front desk of the Hilton Hotel, Mr. and Mrs. Tachikawa, Mimi, Izzy, TK, and Kari are standing in front of a desk clerk.]
MR. TACHIKAWA: Reservation for Tachikawa.
CLERK 1: Yes, sir. You're right here. And you requested three rooms?
MR. TACHIKAWA: Yes.
CLERK 1: Well then, sir, everything is set. Here are your room keys. I hope you enjoy your stay in Tokyo.
MR. TACHIKAWA: Thank you. I'm sure we will.
[A bellhop comes over and loads the bags onto his carrier.]
CLERK 1: Take our guests to rooms 1102, 1103, and 1104.
BELLHOP. Yes, sir.
[After they board the elevator, Mr. Avalon, Tori, Julian, Sakura, Madison, Li, Mr. Rae, and Meilin enter the hotel and head for the front desk.]
SAKURA: This place is amazing!
MR. AVALON: Hello, reservation for Avalon and Rae.
CLERK 2: Yes, sir, you are all set. Three rooms each with three, two with three beds and one with two. Is that right?
MR. AVALON: Yes.
CLERK 2: Very good. Here are your room keys.
[Another bellhop approaches the desk and loads the bags up onto his carrier.]
CLERK 2: Bellhop, take our guests to rooms 1106, 1107, and 1108. Enjoy your stay everyone.
MR. AVALON: Thank you.
SAKURA: what's going on, dad?
MR. AVALON: When I found out that Meilin's father was traveling here too, we decided to split the costs so that way you all could spend time together with your friends. You, Madison, and Meilin will share a room, and Li, Tori, and Julian will share the another room. Julian and Tori will chaperon you around the city, while Mr. Rae and I get some work done for our businesses.
SAKURA: I see.
[Above Tokyo Tower, the dimensional vortex grows even larger, yet still invisible to everyone.]
[The next day, Mimi and Izzy were doing some shopping when they stopped in front of the Tower.]
MIMI: Remember when SkullMeramon nearly leveled this tower?
IZZY: Yeah, but we stopped him with Tai and sora's help.
MIMI: what do you think our digimon are doing now?
IZZY: I don't know.
[Izzy's digivice suddenly starts beeping.]
IZZY: What's going on?
[They move over to a bench where Izzy opens his ever-present laptop and starts quickly typing. He links his digivice up to the keyboard and resumes typing.]
IZZY: Mimi, take a look at this.
[On the screen a scene of Tokyo Tower at that exact moment was shown, only a huge swirling vortex is above it, getting bigger by the moment.]
MIMI: What is it, Izzy?
IZZY: It looks like some sort of dimensional gateway. I'm not sure though.
[The sky starts to darken as TK and Kari run up, their digivices leading them to the Tower.]
TK: What's going on, Izzy?
KARI: Yeah, why are our digivices beeping?
IZZY: I wish I knew.
[The vortex suddenly becomes visible to everyone around. People start screaming and running into stores where the workers lock the door and pull the shades.]
MIMI: We've got to stop it!
[Meanwhile, near Tokyo Tower, Sakura, Madison, and Meilin were also doing some shopping when the sky started darkening. Sakura looks quickly up from a pair of boots she was admiring.]
MADISON: What is it, Sakura?
SAKURA: A feel a Clow Card.
MEILIN: Here?
SAKURA: Yes. I'm sure of it.
[Sakura closes her eyes and concentrates hard. Her eyes fly open and she points towards the Tower.]
SAKURA: It's that way! Let's go!
[The three girls start running down the street. Arriving at the deserted base of the Tower, they are met by Li and Kero.]
LI: The card's up there! We have to get to the top of this tower.
SAKURA: Right!
[The four of them run (Kero flying) up the stairs and onto the roof. Already there are TK, Kari, Mimi, and Izzy, the computer wiz typing furiously on his laptop.]
SAKURA: Who are you? What are you doing here?
MIMI: I could ask you the same thing. This is dangerous!
[Meilin suddenly points towards the sky.]
MEILIN: Look!
[Everyone looks up, Izzy pausing in his typing, and sees a small card being blown around and then into the vortex.]
SAKURA: The Clow Card! I've got to go after it!
[Madison grabs Sakura's arm, holding her back.]
MADISON: It's too dangerous, Sakura. Who knows where that thing leads to. You might not get back.
SAKURA: I've got to try!
IZZY: I have it!
KARI: What, Izzy?
IZZY: The vortex is a gateway to the Digital World.
TK: The Digital World?
SAKURA: I don't care where it leads to. I'm going in!
[Sakura takes off her necklace revealing a small pink and white key.]
SAKURA: Oh, key of Clow; Power of magic; Power of Light; Surrender the wand; the force ignite. Release!
[The key grows and becomes the wand.]
MEILIN: Sakura, the card's gone. Just leave it!
IZZY: What's so important about this card?
KERO: It's one of fifty-two Clow Cards, genius. Each holds a powerful spirit in it and when released, it can cause major trouble.
MADISON: But, it's not here anymore. So it won't cause any trouble. Right?
IZZY: It's not that simple. The Digital World and our world are linked. If this spirit of yours does get released, then it could affect this world too.
LI: Something's coming through the portal!
[Sure enough, a red speck, an orange speck, and a white speck were seen leaving the portal and flying towards them.]
TENTOMON: Izzy!
IZZY: Tentomon!
[Patamon drops Gatomon into Kari's open arms before flying into TK's arms.]
GATOMON: Kari!
KARI: Gatomon! It's great to see you again!
PATAMON: TK! I've missed you!
TK: I've missed you too, Patamon!
SAKURA, LI, MADISON, & MEILIN: What are those?!
TENTOMON: I thought you guys might need some help. Palmon is waiting on the other side.
MIMI: But how are we supposed to get up there?
TENTOMON: Flying's my specialty. Tentomon, digivolve to...
KABUTERIMON: Kabuterimon! Climb on, you guys.
MADISON & MEILIN: A giant bug!!
IZZY: TK and Kari, we might need your help on this side. You stay here. We can keep in touch via my laptop.
TK: Gotcha, Izzy.
KARI: Be careful.
LI: Madison and Meilin, you two stay here with them. Who knows what we might encounter in there.
MADISON: Okay.
MEILIN: You're right.
SAKURA: I'm not waiting any longer.
[Sakura holds up a Clow Card, twirls around, and hits it with her wand.]
SAKURA: Fly card! Release and dispel!
[Suddenly the card disappears and large wings appear on the end of the wand. Sakura climbs onto it like a broomstick as Mimi and Izzy climb onto Kabuterimon. Izzy look s down at Li.]
IZZY: You coming?
[Li looks between the large digimon and Sakura and decides to sit behind Sakura on her wand. Then they all fly up into the vortex leaving the four kids and Kero on the tower.]
MADISON: I hope they know what they're doing.
KARI: Don't worry. The digimon will protect them. And it seems your friends can take care of themselves easily enough.
[ Meanwhile, somewhere in the Digital World, the Clow Card floats through the air, being pushed by the wind, until a white claw reaches out and grabs it.]
DIGIMON: The Fight?
[Suddenly the card glows and disappears and in it's place is the Fight spirit.]
FIGHT: Thank you for releasing me.
[Nearby, Izzy and gang have passed through the portal and are heading to the ground where a green speck is running around, waving.]
MIMI: Palmon!!
PALMON: Mimi!!
[Kabuterimon lands, letting Mimi slide off and run into Palmon's arms.]
MIMI: Palmon, I've missed you!
PALMON: Oh, Mimi, I've missed you too!
[Izzy slides off Kabuterimon, who de-digivolve back into Tentomon while Sakura and Li land on the ground, the wings disappearing from her wand.]
SAKURA: this is the Digital World?
IZZY: Yeah.
[Li holds up his Lasin Board in front of him.]
LI: source of light, with ancient spin; Send forth the magic power within! Oracles of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Clouds, Wind, Rain, and electricity. Force, know my plight! Release the light!
[The board shoots out a thin blue laser off into the distance.]
LI: The Clow Card's that way! Let's go!
SAKURA: Wait for me, Li!
MIMI: C'mon, Izzy. Maybe if we find that card, we'll find whoever's responsible for this vortex.
IZZY: You're right.
[All four kids and two digimon head off into the distance, ready for whatever comes their way.]
[In the same direction, several meters ahead, the white digimon and the Fight Spirit were conversing.]
FIGHT: How come I can talk?
DIGIMON: It must be the power of this world. The power is great, but I plan to have it all. The vortex I've created will grow until it swallows the entire planet and the digital World. Then I will have both in my power. Will you join me?
FIGHT: I fight. that is all.
DIGIMON: Fair enough.
[They shake as the voices of the children reach their ears. Ducking behind some boulders, they listen and wait.]
SAKURA: So, what's so special about this Digital World?
IZZY: It's home to creatures called Digital Monsters, or Digimon. Each one of us eight DigiDestined has one who's our partner.
MIMI: and friend.
[Suddenly the digimon and the Fight Spirit jump out in front of them.]
LI: monster!
TENTOMON: You mean Digital Monster, Li. IceDevimon is a very strong champion frozen-angel digimon. His Frozen Claw and Tundra Freeze attacks are worse than freezer burn!
LI: And look who's next to him!
SAKURA: It's the Fight Card!
FIGHT: That's me.
LI & SAKURA: Huh?! It talks?!
LI: But that's impossible. The Clow spirits don't talk.
SAKURA: Apparently in this world they do!
IZZY: Tentomon!
MIMI: Palmon!
BOTH: Digivolve now!
TENTOMON: Tentomon!
PALMON: Palmon!
BOTH: digivolve to...
KABUTERIMON: Kabuterimon!
TOGEMON: Togemon! Needle Spray!
KABUTERIMON: Electro Shocker!
ICEDEVIMON: Ugh!
[Togemon and Kabuterimon go after IceDevimon while Li and Sakura face the Fight Spirit. She goes after Sakura first, who is barely able to dodge the volley of punches and kicks. Li get between them and holds up his sword.]
LI: Force, know my plight; Release the light! Shield! Release and dispel!
[A shield suddenly appears between Li and the Fight Spirit. then Li turns to Sakura.]
LI: Are you all right?
SAKURA: Yeah. thanks Li.
[The ground shakes as IceDevimon throws Togemon and Kabuterimon to the ground.]
IZZY: He's a much stronger champion!
MIMI: They have to digivolve further!
TOGEMON: You heard her!
KABUTERIMON: Let's do it!
TOGEMON: Togemon!
KABUTERIMON: Kabuterimon!
BOTH: Digivolve to...
LILLYMON: Lillymon!
MEGAKABUTERIMON: MegaKabuterimon! Horn Buster!
LILLYMON: Flower Cannon!
ICEdEVIMON: Argh! Frozen Claw!
[The attack hits both MegaKabuterimon and Lillymon will full force and they instantly are encased in a block of ice.]
MIMI: Oh, no! Lillymon!
IZZY: MegaKabuterimon! They're frozen solid!
MIMI: What do we do now?
[Nearby, with the shield's help, Li is able to dodge the Fight spirit's attacks. Sakura then takes a moment to help out her new friends by holding up a Clow Card, twirling her wand, and hitting the card right in the center.]
SAKURA: Firey! Release and dispel!
[The Firey spirit emerges and spins around the two frozen digimon, causing the ice to melt. It then returns to the card.]
ICEDEVIMON: Impossible! Fight, where are you?
FIGHT: I'm a little busy!
[Sakura had come to Li's aid an both of them were doing some retaliation with positive results. The Fight spirit hit the ground, stunned momentarily, before jumping up again. Meanwhile, Lillymon and MegaKabuterimon were facing off against IceDevimon.]
ICEDEVIMON: Tundra Freeze!
[The two digimon dodged the attack and quickly sent their own at him.]
LILLYMON: Flower Cannon!
MEGAKABUTERIMON: Horn Buster!
[The attack seriously weakens IceDevimon, which causes the vortex to shrink.]
IZZY: Stop! Don't destroy him yet!
MIMI: what's wrong, Izzy?
IZZY: I've figured out that IceDevimon is the creator of this vortex. If we destroy him then we destroy the vortex!
MIMI: With no way of getting back home!
IZZY: We have to get him back to our world, first. then we can destroy him.
[Izzy takes out his cellphone and calls TK.]
IZZY: TK, you and Kari get ready. We're bringing the battle your way.
TK: We're ready, Izzy. Angemon and Angewomon are standing by.
[Li overhears them and turns to Sakura.]
LI: Sakura, use the wind Card! It'll blow us and them back through the vortex!
SAKURA: I'm on it!
[Holding up a Clow Card and twirling her wand, she hits the tip onto the center of the card.]
SAKURA: Windy! Release and dispel!
[The Wind Spirit flies out and around, lifting IceDevimon and the Fight spirit up and through the vortex. Lillymon, carrying Mimi, and MegaKabuterimon, carrying Izzy, Li, and Sakura follow them.]
[On top of Tokyo Tower, the Wind Spirit blows IceDevimon and the Fight Spirit onto the top of the tower where Angemon and Angewomon catch them. IceDevimon is weak, but the Fight Spirit lashes out at Angewomon, causing the angel digimon to drop her. Fight lands on the ground near Meilin, Madison, TK, Kari, and Kero. It advances on them and Meilin quickly stand up.]
MADISON: Meilin, what are you doing?
MEILIN: I'll take her on. You four get to safety.
KARI: But, Meilin, what if you get hurt?
MEILIN: What else is there to do?
[Meilin engages the Fight Spirit in a battle. Meanwhile, the vortex is closing, due to IceDevimon's weakness. Lillymon and MegaKabuterimon use the rest of their energy to get the kids ad themselves through, that they de-digivolve when they leave the vortex, right before it disappears along with IceDevimon. The kids and two digimon land in a heap near where Meilin is fighting the Fight Spirit. Sakura runs over to help Meilin, with Li close behind. The three of them manage to weaken the spirit an Sakura holds up her wand, twirls it, and hits the air near the spirit.]
SAKURA: Fight Card! Return to your power confined! Fight Card!
[The spirit disappears and in its place is a Clow Card, which floats through the air and lands at Sakura' feet. Picking it up, she looks at the picture of the spirit.]
SAKURA: We won.
MADISON: That's what I call a great vacation!
[Li turns to Izzy and shakes his hand.]
LI: We couldn't of done it without you guys. Thanks, for everything.
IZZY: Don't mention it.
MEILIN: What about them?
[Meilin points to the digimon, angemon and Angewomon having returned to their rookie and champion forms.]
TK: We never thought of that.
MIMI: Izzy, what do we do?
IZZY: I'll try to contact Gennai. Perhaps he knows a way to send them back to their home. For now, they can sightsee with us.
PATAMON, GATOMON, PALMON, & TENTOMON: Yay!
MADISON: We'd better head back down to the ground.
[The eight kids, four digimon, and Kero head down to the ground where they run into Julian and Tori.]
TORI: Sakura, there you are!
SAKURA: Tori?!
TORI: We've been looking all over for you!
SAKURA: Sorry, Tori. We met some new friends and we lost track of time.
TORI: There were dark clouds around this tower. What happened?
SAKURA: A little storm cam up. Nothing big. No trouble at all.
JULIAN: Let me guess. You were right in the middle of it.
SAKURA: who? Me?
TORI: All right. We have to get to the restaurant where we're meeting dad, and Meilin's father for dinner.
MIMI: What restaurant?
JULIAN: That Japanese Palace Restaurant.
MIMI: That's where we're meeting my mom and dad. Mind if we join you there?
TORI: No, but come on. We're running late.
JULIAN: I'm famished.
KERO: Food!
TORI: What was that?
SAKURA: Uh. Nothing. Nothing at all.
TORI: Hmmm.
SAKURA: It was me. I'm starving. Let's go!
[For the rest of their two week stay, the eight kids, four digimon, and Kero, chaperoned by Tori an Julian, saw all of Tokyo.]
[On their last night in Tokyo, they all gathered in Izzy's and TK's room.]
IZZY: I just got a reply from Gennai. He knows a way the digimon can return home.
MIMI: How?
IZZY: We each have to hold our digivices up to the computer and press enter. If it's done right, they'll end up in the Digital World, where Gennai's waiting for them.
[Kari and Gatomon embrace.]
GATOMON: Bye, Kari.
KARI: Bye, Gatomon. See you soon.
GATOMON: Yeah.
[TK ad Patamon embrace.]
TK: It seems like I'm always saying goodbye to you.
PATAMON: We'll see each other again.
TK: I know. Well, goodbye.
PATAMON: Goodbye.
[TK and Kari stand in front of Izzy's laptop and hold up their digivices. Izzy leans over and hits the enter key. Patamon and Gatomon glow and disappear. On the computer they appear next to Gennai. Kari leans next to TK, who puts his arm around her and leads her away from the computer. Mimi and Izzy take their places.]
IZZY: Goodbye, Tentomon.
TENTOMON: Goodbye, Izzy.
[They embrace.]
TENTOMON: Ack! Ack! You're choking me again!
[Mimi and Palmon embrace with tears in their eyes.]
MIMI: We'll see each other again, Palmon. *sniff*
PALMON: *sniff* Of course we *sniff* will. *sniff*
[Izzy and Mimi hold up their digivices. TK presses the enter key and Tentomon and Palmon glow, disappear, and reappear next to Gennai.]
IZZY: Until next time, guys.
[The screen turns black and Izzy shuts the laptop close. Mimi cries softly into Izzy's shoulder and he puts his arms around her. TK's arm is still around Kari, who is still leaning against him.]
SAKURA: Wow. You guys sure have a special bond with your digimon friends.
[Mimi looks up from Izzy's shoulder.]
MIMI: Now we have some new friends. Also, with great fashion sense!
[They all hug each other until Kari picks up a pillow and hits TK over the head with it. TK retaliates, hitting Kari with another pillow. With that, a full-fledged pillow fight broke out between the DigiDestined and the CardCaptors.]
THE END
