New Friends ~ Old Enemies

By: Patamon_Princess

[Five o’clock in the morning, Takuya Kanbara rolls over in bed and opens his eyes. The room is just starting the lighten as dawn arrives.]

TAKUYA: That’s weird. I could have sworn someone was calling me. Oh, I guess it was just a dream.
VOICE: Takuya...
TAKUYA: There it is. (scans the room) But no one’s here. It must be my imagination. *yawn*

[He turns over and goes back to sleep.]

[Three-and-a-half hours later, Mrs. Kanbara shakes his shoulder.]

MRS. KANBARA: Takuya, wake up. you’re supposed to be meeting Koji and the others at the park in five minutes.
TAKUYA: Ah! I overslept!

[He jumps out of bed, dresses, sticks his cell-phone in his pocket, straightens his goggles, and runs out the door, grabbing a piece of toast as he goes.]

TAKUYA: Bye, Mom!

[He runs down the street.]

VOICE: Takuya...

[He stops.]

TAKUYA: There it is again. What’s going on?
VOICE: Takuya, help me...
TAKUYA: Who are you> Where are you? What do you want?

[Silence.]

TAKUYA: Maybe I’m just hearing things.

[In the park, Takuya runs up to where the others are. Koji Minamoto, Koichi Kimura, Zoe Orimoto, Tommy Himi, and J.P. Shibuya are sitting under a tree.]

J.P.: Hey, Taky, what took you so long? Sleep in again?
TAKUYA: No. Yes. But it wasn’t just that. Someone was trying to talk to me.
ZOE: Who?
TAKUYA: I don’t know. no one was around. All it said was “Help me.”
KOJI: You know, hearing voices isn’t a very good sign.
J.P.: Yeah, the guys in white coats will come and cart you away.
TAKUYA: No, I’m serious. Okay, so at first I thought I was dreaming, but when I heard it again, I was sure of it. Somebody’s trying to contact me.
TOMMY: But who?
KOICHI: Y’know, this could be serious.
J.P.: Or Takuya could be losing it.
TAKUYA: Come on, guys, I know what I heard.
ZOE: I believe you, Takuya.
J.P.: Of course you believe him. He’s your boyfriend.
KOJI: Cut it out, J.P. Someone could be contacting Takuya for help.
TOMMY: Could it be the Digital World?
KOICHI: But the last time they contacted us was through our cell-phones.
ALL: Hmm...
VOICE: Help me...
TAKUYA: Did you hear it?
ZOE: Yeah, I did.
J.P. & TOMMY: Uh-huh.
KOJI: So did we.
CELL-PHONE: *beep beep*
TAKUYA: Huh?!

[He pulls out his cell-phone as the others pull out theirs. The screens start to glow.]

TAKUYA: What’s going on?! Ah!
ZOE 8 TOMMY: Uh!
KOJI, KOICHI, & J.P.: Oh!

[All of a sudden, they disappear.]

[the sun shines down on a barren desert. Except for some scrawny trees and cacti here and there, there’s nothing as far as the eye can see. A strong wind bows sending dirt flying. This is where the group appears.]

TAKUYA: *cough cough* Where are we?!
TOMMY: My eyes hurt!
ZOE: *cough* Is this the Digital World?
KOICHI: Must be. What else could it be?
J.P.: Okay, what brainless person sent us here this time.
KOJI: Shh. Someone’s coming.

[Two dark shapes appear. They’re both walking, struggling against the wind.]

SHAPE 1: They should be up ahead.
SHAPE 2: Let’s hope the system didn’t get clogged with sand again. I know my ears are.
TAKUYA: I know that voice.
ZOE: Me too.
TAKUYA: Neemon!
SHAPE 2: Who calls?
ZOE: Neemon, it’s us!

[As the two shapes come closer, their identities are revealed. The second shape is Neemon, who is wearing a face mask for protection against the wind, and carrying a large bag. The other is Patamon, also wearing a face mask.]

PATAMON: We finally found you!
TOMMY: But what are we doing here? *cough*
NEEMON: We’ll explain later. Right now, put these on.

[He pulls out six face masks and hands them out.]

TAKUYA: Thanks.
PATAMON: Now follow us and stay close together.

[The two Digimon lead the kids onward. After about fifteen minutes they stop at a rock wall.]

J.P.: Could you have taken a wrong turn? We’re at a dead end.
NEEMON: Watch this.

[He presses a rock, which moves in, and the ground in front of them opens, revealing a long flight of stairs.]

PATAMON: Come on. Follow me.

[He leads the way down, with Neemon in the rear closing and latching the secret door. After a short flight of stairs, they are led down a hallway, then into a brightly lit room. Taking their masks off they look around. Books line the walls, stacked haphazardly around. On the opposite side of the room, two doorways lead off. And in the middle of the room is a large circular conference-like table with buttons, knobs, and a screen in front of every chair. Above the center of the table floats a digitized hologram of the Digital World. Sitting in one of the chairs is a familiar figure.]

ALL: Bokomon!
BOKOMON: *looks up* Oh, you came! You made it!

[He runs over to them.]

BOKOMON: Am I glad you’re here! We seriously need your help.
KOJI: What’s going on?
BOKOMON: Why don't we sit down and I’ll tell you our sad tale.

[Everyone sits down, including Neemon and Patamon. Each screen lights up illustrating what Bokomon says.]

BOKOMON: After you left, our world was at peace. Everything was beautiful. Then things started to happen. At first they were small, bits of areas disappearing, so nobody paid much attention to it. Then a Digimon would turn on it’s friends and attack. And larger bits or areas were disappearing. Our legendary protectors investigated, but didn’t find anything really wrong. We should have known better. Digimon started getting captured and turned into slaves. KOICHI: Who’s doing this?
PATAMON: No one knows.
BOKOMON: No one has ever seen him. And those who have are never seen or heard from again.
NEEMON: He conducts his business through his general, Zanbamon.
BOKOMON: Oh, he is cruel. A select few of us managed to create this place, though it wasn’t as hard as you’d think. Where we are now is the central room in Seraphimon’s castle.
KIDS: *gasp*
BOKOMON: The books all around were rescued from Orphanimon’s castle.
TAKUYA: So that desert is...
PATAMON: The Forest Terminal, yes. Zanbamon organized n attack on it, and we managed to get the castle underground before it was destroyed as well.
KOJI: What about the warriors? Where are they?
NEEMON: They went up against Zanbamon, but with his master’s powers added to his, he was able to defeat them.
BOKOMON: Come. I’ll show you to them.

[He leads the way through one of the other doors, down a hallway, then into a large room. Digital examination beds are set up around the room with a Digimon in each. Starmon doctors work at each.]

TAKUYA: Agunimon...

[He runs over to the closet bed.]

TAKUYA: Agunimon, what happened?

[The Digimon slowly opens his eyes and sits up.]

STARMON: Lie back down, please. You must conserve your strength.
AGUNIMON: *weak smile* You and I both know we’re not going to make it.

[The other nine legendary warriors sit up.]

LOBOMON: We’re glad you came.
KOJI: You called us?
AGUNIMON: Yes. We failed the Digital World. We couldn’t protect it from this evil.
KAZEMON: Our last fight took all our strength.
LOWEMON: We can’t hold ourselves together.
KUMAMON: We’ll soon disappear.
TOMMY: No!
BEETLEMON: It can’t be helped.
AGUNIMON: We need you to carry on in our place. Will you do that?
TAKUYA: Of course. The Digital World is still our home as well.
AGUNIMON: Thank you.

[They all start to fade.]

ZOE: Wait, don’t go!
AGUNIMON: We don’t have anymore strength...

[They disappear. The cellphones shine again and turn back into D-Tector’s, with the spirits inside of them.]

TAKUYA: Well, gang, it looks like it’s up to us again.
OTHERS: Mmm-hmm.
VOICE: Bokomon, you must come quickly!

[Nefertimon flies into the room.]

NEFERTIMON: Children, I’m glad you’ve come.
BOKOMON: What’s wrong, Nefertimon?
NEFERTIMON: Zanbamon and his forces are heading this way. They might have found us out.
BOKOMON: Impossible. The shield is impenetrable and undetectable.
PATAMON: But the kids appeared above ground, which isn’t protected.
BOKOMON: Oh, dear. You’re right.
TAKUYA: Then we’ll just have to go out and face them.
KOJI: We can’t let them find the castle.
TAKUYA: Are you with me?
ZOE: You bet!
KOJI & KOICHI: Mmm-hmm.
J.P. & TOMMY: Yeah.
TAKUYA: Then let’s do it.
ALL: Execute! Beast Spirit Evolution!
BURNINGGREYMON: BurningGreymon!
ZEPHYRMON: Zephyrmon!
KENDOGARURUMON: KendoGarurumon!
JAGERLOWEMON: JagerLowemon!
METALKABUTERIMON: MetalKabuterimon!
KORIKAKUMON: Korikakumon!
BOKOMON & NEEMON: Good luck!
PATAMON: Be careful, you guys!

[The six Digimon fly out of the secret opening to meet the enemy head-on. The wind has quieted down, so the dust storm is gone.]

AIRDRAMON: Reports indicate that whatever caused the disturbance is gone.
KUWAGAMON: Could it have been a glitch?
ZANBAMON: No. Something happened here and I want to know what it is. Fan out and look for clues.
TROOPS: Yes, sir!
ZANBAMON: I destroyed the last giant pocket of resistance. Those legendary warriors didn’t have a chance. I destroyed all three of the Celestial Digimon’s castles and the areas around them. Signals of disturbances should not be coming from the desert. Unless... Hmm.. The Great One once mentioned another world, populated by two-legged weaklings called humans. they were the ones who defeated that pathetic Lucemon. Is it possible they could have returned? But how? Hmph. No matter. They’re only humans. We should be able to take care of them easily. Huh?!

[He notices a fireball coming at him and dodges it just in time.]

BURNINGGREYMON: Hmph. I missed.
ZANBAMON: I know you...
BURNINGGREYMON: Then you should know it’s useless to fight us. Why don’t you surrender now and we might take it easy on you.
ZANBAMON: You’re the humans who destroyed Lucemon.
KENDOGARURUMON: So? We’ll do the same to you.
ZANBAMON: I don’t think so.
JAGERLOWEMON: You wanna bet? Dark Master!
METALKABUTERIMON: Electron Cannon!
KORIKAKUMON: Avalanche Axes!
ZEPHYRMON: Hurricane Gale!
KENDOGARURUMON: Lupine Laser!
BURNINGGREYMON: Wildfire Tsunami!

[All the attacks hit Zanbamon.]

METALKABUTERIMON: That oughtta shut him up.

[The energy around Zanbamon vanishes.]

ALL: What?!
ZEPHYRMON: There’s not even a scratch on him.
KORIKAKUMON: what do we do now?
BURNINGGREYMON: Try again.
KENDOGARURUMON: Takuya, we can’t just run in again.
BURNINGGREYMON: *sigh* I know.
JAGERLOWEMON: But what else can we do?
ZANBAMON: Since you can’t decide, let me make the decision for you.

[He holds out his hands, palms facing them and a light shines out from them. The Digimon glow as they groan in agony. Then, a crystal appears in front of each Digimon. Two each in front of BurningGreymon and KendoGarurumon.]

ZEPHYRMON: What are those?
BURNINGGREYMON: This can’t be good.
ZANBAMON: These are your spirit crystals. They hold your fractal code as well as your powers. And soon, they will be mine.

[The crystals float towards him.]

AIRDRAMON: Master, no other signs of life are being detected. Uhh...

[Zanbamon loses his concentration on the crystals, causing them to vanish.]

ZANBAMON: You idiot!

[He sends out a blast, destroying the Airdramon. Another sand storm starts up as the six Digimon revert back to their human selves. Zanbamon and his army retreat as Bokomon and Neemon, under cover of the storm, help the kids back to the castle. Inside they’re taken to the other room off the central chamber which is packed full of books. Patamon and another Digimon look up from a book they’ve been reading.]

BOKOMON: Have you and Salamon found out anything?
PATAMON: No, papa-mom. We’re still looking.
KOICHI: Bokomon, what are spirit crystals?
BOKOMON: Well, I...uh... I don’t know. I’ve never heard of such a thing.
NEFERTIMON: I can answer that. When you received the legendary warriors spirits again, they came to you in the form of crystals, with your powers contained in each one.
TAKUYA: And now that Zanba-jerk has them.
NEFERTIMON: No he doesn’t. Zanbamon lost his concentration and the crystals were scattered across the entire Digital World.
KIDS: What?!
BOKOMON: I have heard of something similar. Something called ‘Crests’.
NEFERTIMON: The spirit crystals are very similar to the crests. Without them you will not be able to digivolve past your human spirits.
KOJI: Then how are we supposed to win?
NEFERTIMON: You’ll have to search for them.
TOMMY: Again?!
J.P.: We have to start all over?!
ZOE: We have no choice. We can’t hope to win with only our human spirits.
TAKUYA: Zoe’s right.
NEFERTIMON: You must use extreme caution, but also speed. Zanbamon will be looking for the crystals too.
KOICHI: Bokomon, what about the crests you mentioned? Can they help us?
BOKOMON: Actually, not much is known about them. The only time I hard about it was in digi-school.
NEEMON: Oh, I remember! There are eight of them, and each one of them describes the person they belong to.
BOKOMON: How come you remember that but nothing else we learned?
NEEMON: They all were different colors and shapes.
PATAMON: Papa-mom, we found something!

[Patamon flies over, carrying a book, followed by Salamon.]

BOKOMON: Oh, what is it?
PATAMON: We were trying to find something from the history of the Digital World to help us when I came upon this old dusty book. See?

[He turns to a page.]

PATAMON: It’s the Crests you’re all talking about.
BOKOMON: My goodness, you’re right.
TOMMY: So how do we get them?
SALAMON: You don’t. The book says they already have owners.
TAKUYA: Who?
PATAMON: It says that before Lucemon and the battles between Human and Beast type Digimon, eight children were summoned to the Digital World to be it’s protectors.
KOJI: So there were humans here before us?
BOKOMON: It’s possible. Those battles happened several years ago, before any of us were around.
SALAMON: The book was written by someone named Gennai.
NEEMON: I’ve never heard of him. Should I know?
ZOE: If those kids were from our world, maybe we can get them to help us.
BOKOMON: Yes. But a couple of you would have to go back to get them.
TAKUYA: I’ll go.
ZOE: Me too.
KOJI: We can start searching for our crystals while you’re gone.
PATAMON: Here, take the book. It might come in handy. It has everyone’s names in it.
ZOE: Thanks, Patamon.
BOKOMON: You’ll have to go above ground to return to your world. If we lower the shield we’ll be detected for sure.
NEFERTIMON: I’ll go above with them. You can contact us through your D-Tector’s when you’re ready to come back.
TAKUYA: Got it. (to Zoe) Let’s go.
ZOE: Right.
KOICHI: Be careful, you guys.
TOMMY: Come back safely.
J.P.: Don’t take too long.

[Takuya, Zoe, and Nefertimon make their way to the desert. Once there, Nefertimon places a metal box with a bunch of buttons on it, on the ground.]

NEFERTIMON: Now, take out your D-Tector’s. Are you ready?
TAKUYA & ZOE: Mmm-hmm.

[Nefertimon presses a couple buttons and the D-Tector’s glow. In a flash Takuya and Zoe disappear.]

[In the park, Takuya and Zoe appear under the same tree from earlier.]

TAKUYA: We made it back.
ZOE: Now to find the original DigiDestined.
TAKUYA: If they’re still around. We don’t even know if they’re old or young.
ZOE: Well, the Digital World time is faster than our time, so maybe only a few years have gone by here.
TAKUYA: Let’s hope your right. Now, let’s get a phone book and start looking.

[They make their to the edge of the park where a phone booth sits. Flipping through the phone book, Takuya searches for the first person.]

TAKUYA: What did the book say for a last name?
ZOE: It’s hard to translate this writing. It’s a combination of Japanese and Digi-nese. Here’s one. Tachikawa.
TAKUYA: T... T... Tachi... Tachika... wa. There’s a bunch of them. What’s the first name?
ZOE: Mimi.
TAKUYA: There’s no Mimi listed. I guess we’ll have to try them all.
ZOE: Here, use my phone card. My parents gave it to me for emergencies.
TAKUYA: And this would be one. Okay... It’s ringing. Hello? I’m looking for Tachikawa Mimi? No? Okay, thank you. No luck there. Next. Hello, I’m looking for Tachikawa Mimi? Okay, thank you. Not that one either.

[Ten minutes later...]

TAKUYA: I’m sorry, ma’am, I didn’t mean to get you out of your bath! Good-bye! Whew! All the Tachikawa’s and no Mimi.
ZOE: Unless she got married.
TAKUYA: I didn’t think of that. Can you find another name?
ZOE: Hmm... Takaishi Takeru.
TAKUYA: What luck! There is one! Hello? Takaishi Takeru? Yes. You don’t know me, but we share a similar story. It has to do with the Digital World. Oh? Okay. We’ll be right there. (to Zoe) He wants us to meet him at Tokyo Tower, the second observation deck.
ZOE: Let’s go.

[On the other end of the line, Takeru turns away from the phone to face the female sitting at the table.]

FEMALE: What was that about?
TAKERU: The Digital World. This kid said we share the same story.
FEMALE: You’re going to meet him?
TAKERU: Yes. Anything to do with the Digital World still affects us.
FEMALE: I’m coming too.
TAKERU: Better bring along the others as well.

[A half-an-hour later, Takuya and Zoe stand on the second observation deck of Tokyo Tower. That side of the tower is deserted, it being the middle of a work day.]

TAKUYA: I wonder what they’re like. He didn’t sound too old on the phone.
ZOE: It says here he was eight at the time.
VOICE: Excuse me, but are you the one who called earlier?

[The two of them turn around to the speaker, who is standing next to a young woman.]

TAKUYA: Yes, but how’d you guess?
FEMALE: *giggle*
TAKERU: Your goggles. Every DigiDestined leader has a pair of goggles.
TAKUYA: Well, I am the leader! Kanbara Takuya.
ZOE: Orimoto Zoe.
TAKERU: It’s nice to meet you. You can call me TK. And this is my fiancée, Kari.
KARI: Kamiya Hikari. And these are our Digimon... uh, where did they go?
TK: They’re over there.
PATAMON: Wow, look at how high up we are!
GATOMON: You can see the whole city from here!
ZOE: Digimon? In the Real World?
TK: Yeah, only us DigiDestined have them.
TAKUYA: We were told Digimon couldn’t survive in the Real World.
KARI: Well, they’re doing just fine.
ZOE: Won’t Bokomon be happy. Now he can come visit.
KARI: Is Bokomon your partner Digimon?
TAKUYA: No, he’s our guide. We don’t have partner Digimon. We are Digimon.
TK: Okay, now you lost me.
TAKUYA: We use these D-Tector’s to evolve into Digimon to fight.
TK: That sounds cool. So, why do you need our help?
TAKUYA: The Digital World is being conquered by some unknown being. His general, Zanbamon, was in the process of taking our spirit crystals when he was interrupted.
ZOE: The crystals scattered and without them we can only evolve to our first level.
KARI: How awful.
TAKUYA: We found this book which talks about you and we thought if we could find you, you might help us.
TK: Of course we’ll help. What happens in the Digital World affects us too.
PATAMON: We’re going back for a visit!
GATOMON: Yay! We get to get in on the action again.
ZOE: This is great. And you can help us locate the others DigiDestined. Translating this book is hard.
KARI: Can I see? Oh, it’s written by Gennai.
TAKUYA: You know him?
TK: Yeah, he’s this weird guy that helped us.
KARI: Hey, TK. It says here that we saved the DigiWorld over fifty years ago.
TK: That long? Wow. It’s only been fifteen years for us. The time in the Digital World used to match our time.
TAKUYA: I guess when Lucemon came the time was knocked out of whack.
PATAMON: Are we going to keep standing here talking, or are we going to get to work?
GATOMON: A couple days could have past there by now.
ZOE: She’s right. I didn’t think of that.
KARI: I’ll go get my brother Tai and grab Izzy on the way as well. Zoe, do you want to come along?
ZOE: Sure.
TK: Takuya, you and I can get my brother Matt and his wife Sora. And stop by the hospital for Joe.
TAKUYA: What about Mimi? We couldn’t find her.
KARI: She lives in America.
ZOE: I’m sure we can still get her. Bokomon can send us there to pick her up.
TK: All right, then let’s get to work, DigiDestined. We’ll meet back here in two hours.

[Kari, Zoe, and Gatomon first head to the technology college.]

KARI: Izumi Koushiro?
FRONT DESK: Fourth floor, Computer Room C-3.
KARI: Thank you.

[They head to the elevators.]

ZOE: Computers?
KARI: Izzy’s a computer whiz. He can decode anything. He helps teach the younger classes here and is the top of his class.

[They get off the elevator and head to Room C-3.]

KARI: Here we are.
ZOE: So, you’ve all kept in touch over the years?
KARI: Yep!
GATOMON: We still have our yearly DigiWorld anniversaries too.

[They enter the classroom. Izzy stands in the front of the room, teaching a class.]

IZZY: X to the power of 7, minus (y to the power of 4 minus 163) multiplied by 72 plus (26 plus z to the power of two) equals 15,694,710. Now, use the program on the computer that I showed you to find out what x, y, and z are. (sees Kari) If you’ll excuse me for a minute. No talking or sharing notes.

[He steps out in the hallway with Kari and Zoe.]

KARI: Do you think they’ll stay quiet?
IZZY: No, but it’s okay. What is it?
KARI: The Digital World’s in trouble. This is Zoe, one of the new DigiDestined. They need our help to recover their spirit crystals what they use to evolve, to save the world.
IZZY: This is serious. Zoe, was it? What are these spirit crystals?
ZOE: They are the power sources we need to digivolve past our human spirits.
IZZY: Okay, you lost me.
GATOMON: Zoe can turn into a Digimon.
IZZY: Really? Fascinating.
ZOE: Will you help us?
IZZY: You bet. It will also give me a chance to learn about humans becoming Digimon. My class gets out in half-an-hour.
KARI: Great. We’ll meet at the second observation deck at Tokyo Tower.
IZZY: Okay. Tentomon and I will be there.

[Meanwhile, TK, Takuya, and Patamon enter the space station office.]

TK: Matt’s studying to be an astronaut.
TAKUYA: Hey, that’s cool.
SECURITY: ID please.

[TK pulls out an ID card.]

TK: We’re here to see my brother, Ishida.
SECURITY: Sign in here, please.

[TK and Takuya sign their names on the visitor’s list.]

SECURITY: You can go on to the front desk.
TK: Thanks.

[They walk up to the desk.]

RECEPTIONIST: Welcome. How may I help you?
TK: I need to talk to my brother, Ishida Yamato. It’s urgent.
RECEPTIONIST: (over intercom) Paging Ishida Yamato. Please come to the front desk. (to TK) You can wait over there.

[She gestures to a group of chairs. the boys sit.]

TK: *chuckles* Matt’s going to be mad. He hates being called Yamato.
VOICE: TK, Patamon, this is a surprise.

[They turn around to see Matt standing nearby. He sits down.]

MATT: What’s the emergency?
TK: It’s about the Digital World. This is Takuya, the leader of the new team.
TAKUYA: The Digital World’s in danger of being taken over. Our spirit crystals were scattered so we can barely fight. We need your help.
MATT: Sure I’ll help.

[He goes over to the Receptionist.]

MATT: I’m taking the rest of the day off. Family emergency.
RECEPTIONIST: Yes, Mr. Ishida.

[Matt returns to the chairs.]

MATT: I’ll drive by and pick up Sora. Where do we meet?
PATAMON: Tokyo Tower, observation deck two.
MATT: Got it.

[The girls enter an apartment.]

KARI: This is where I live. I was visiting TK when you called. My brother Tai has the day off today. If I know him, he’s probably fast asleep.

[They enter Tai’s bedroom where, sure enough, he’s fast asleep, along with Agumon. Kari gently shakes him.]

KARI: Tai, wake up.
TAI: *snore*
KARI: Tai... TAI!!
TAI: *snore*

[Kari leaves the room and comes back with a bucket of water. She turns it over on the two boys. Tai and Agumon come awake, sputtering.]

TAI: What the-- Kari? Why’d you do that?
KARI: You wouldn’t wake up. At least it was warm. It’s an emergency.
GATOMON: The Digital World’s in trouble. This is Zoe. She’s come to ask for our help.
AGUMON: what sort of trouble?
ZOE: An unknown force is slowly turning Digimon into slaves and conquering parts of the Digital World.
TAI: Doesn’t sound like anything new. Who isn’t trying to take over there. Sure, we’ll help. Uh, let me just change and dry off.
KARI: *giggle*
TAI: I’m going to have to warn TK what he’s getting into.

[Kari throws a pillow at him then leaves the room with Zoe and Gatomon.]

[Meanwhile, the boys approach the front desk at the hospital.]

TK: Hello, we’re looking for Kido Joe. He’s an intern doctor here.
RECEPTIONIST: Just a minute. (over intercom) Paging Kido Joe, please come to the front desk. Kido Joe.
TK: Thank you.

[A few minutes later, Joe comes running down.]

JOE: What is it? Oh, TK. Is something wrong?
TK: Yeah.
JOE: We can talk over here.

[He leads to a quiet, empty corner of the waiting room.]

JOE: What’s up?
TK: The Digital World. Or rather, down. This is Takuya. I’ll let him explain.
TAKUYA: Some unknown creep is conquering it. His general scattered our spirit crystals which help us evolve so we need you help to find them and win.
JOE: Sounds serious. I can be out of here in twenty minutes.
PATAMON: Great! We’re all meeting at the second observation deck of Tokyo Tower.
JOE: Gomamon and I will be there.

[By the time TK, Patamon, and Takuya return to the meeting place, Kari, Gatomon, and Zoe have already arrives, along with Matt, Sora, Izzy, Tai, and their Digimon.]

TK: Joe’ll be here soon.
TAKUYA: Then we can return to the Digital World.
TAI: Yeah, but I’m the leader now.
TAKUYA: Who says? I’m the leader.
TAI: No, I am. You were still in diapers when I was saving it first!
TAKUYA: Well, I saved it from Lucemon, so I should be the leader!
TAI: No, me!
TAKUYA: No, me!
BOTH: ME!!
KARI, SORA, & ZOE: *sigh*

[Joe comes running over.]

JOE: I picked up some supplies we might need. Food, bandages, the essentials.
MATT: Good ol’ reliable Joe.
TAKUYA: Me!
TAI: Me!
JOE: What’s up with them?
SORA: They can’t decide who should be the leader.
JOE: Tai, Takuya, stop!
TAI & TAKUYA: I’m the lea-- Oh.
JOE: You guys are embarrassing yourselves.
GABUMON: The Digital World is more important than who the leader is.
BIYOMON: Besides, can’t you both be the leader?
TAI & TAKUYA: Yeah, I hadn’t thought of that.
KARI: Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get going.

[Zoe pulls our her digivice.]

ZOE: Bokomon, can you hear me? It’s Zoe. We’re all here ready to return.
BOKOMON: I read you, Zoe. I can transport four or five at a time. Have the others pull out their digivices as well.
KARI: Can you send a couple of us to America; New York? Our last teammate is there.
JOE: *whisper* Mimi...
BOKOMON: Will do. Let me bring the others over here first. Can the first group raise your digivices? I can lock onto you using them.
TAKUYA: You go on to America, Zoe. I’ll go back with them.
ZOE: Okay.

[Takuya, Tai, and TK raise their digivices and in a flash, they disappear along with Agumon and Patamon.]

BOKOMON: Neemon and Nefertimon have gone out to get them. A sand storm is going on, so that should keep them from being detected. Next.

[Matt and Sora raise their digivices. In a flash they follow the others along with Gabumon and Biyomon.]

BOKOMON: Okay, next.

[Izzy and Joe hold up their digivices and disappear with Tentomon and Gomamon.]

BOKOMON: And Zoe, you’re going to New York?
ZOE: Yes. Kari and Gatomon are coming with me.
BOKOMON: Give me a second. All right, it’s all set. You’ll appear in a secluded park of Central Park.
ZOE: Got it.

[The two raise their digivices and in a flash, the observation deck is empty again.]

[In Central Park, the sun shines down on the workers eating lunch and the nannies watching their young charges. In a group of trees, away from any notice, Kari, Gatomon, and Zoe appear. They emerge from the trees and look around.]

ZOE: Whew, me made it. So, where does Mimi live?
KARI: Just outside the city. We can take a bus that will drop us off a couple blocks away.
GATOMON: then let’s go.
KID: Look at the kitty!
GATOMON: Oh-oh.

[Three young kids run over to Gatomon.]

GIRL: Oh, she’s so cute!
GIRL 2: What’s her name?
KARI: Her name’s Gatomon.
GIRL 3: Hello, Gatomon. You’re so pretty.
GATOMON: Meow.
NANNY: Come on, girls! It’s time to go!
GIRL 2: Okay! Bye, Gatomon!
GIRLS: Bye, Gatomon!

[The girls run over to their nanny.]

GATOMON: They seemed nice. At least they’re no like some kids who would pull a cat’s tail.

[The trio walk out of the park and wait for the bus.]

ZOE: Uh, Kari, all I have is yen. How are we going to pay for the bus?
KARI: Don’t worry. I had some American money from my last trip here.

[The bus arrives.]

DRIVER: No pets on here.
KARI: But she’s a stuffed animal.
DRIVER: Hmm. All right.

[An hour later, they’re standing in front of a white-sided house. they walk up and ring the bell. A minute later a middle-aged woman opens the door.]

MRS. TACHIKAWA: Yes? Oh, Kari, dear. What a wonderful surprise. And Gatomon, how are you?
GATOMON: Very well, thank you.
MRS. TACHIKAWA: Well, come on in. Mimi’s in her room, if you want to go up.
KARI: Thank you.

[They make their way up a fancy staircase and knock on the door at the end of the hall.]

VOICE: Come in.

[Opening the door, Kari spots Mimi lying on her bed. They enter the large room and approach.]

KARI: Mimi?

[Mimi looks up at them with a tear streaked face.]

MIMI: Kari? Kari!

[She jumps up and gives Kari a hug.]

MIMI: What are you doing here? If I knew you were coming, I would have picked you guys up.
KARI: Well we didn’t know we were coming until a couple hours ago.
MIMI: Huh?
KARI: This is Zoe. She’s part of the new DigiDestined team. She and Takuya came to ask us to help save the Digital World. Six of us are already there. We just came to get you.
MIMI: Everyone? The original team?
KARI: Mmm-hmm.
MIMI: I-I can’t. I’m sorry.

[She lies back on the bed with her back to them.]

KARI: Mimi, what is it?

[At that moment, Palmon walks into the room.]

PALMON: Gatomon, Kari! I was just told you were here! What’s the occasion?
GATOMON: The Digital World needs our help.
PALMON: Then what are we waiting for?! Let’s go!
ZOE: But, Mimi doesn’t want to.
PALMON: What?
MIMI: I can’t.
PALMON: Can’t or won’t? Mimi, this isn’t like you. Your friends need you help.
KARI: C’mon, Mimi. You can tell us.

[Mimi sits up.]

MIMI: *sniff* Well, last year when I was back in Japan, Joe and I started going out. then I moved here again and it hurt our relationship. We broke up last month over an unhappy phone call.
KARI: Oh, Mimi. I’m sorry.
MIMI: I just-- *sniff* -- miss him so much! I didn’t realize how much he meant to me.
ZOE: What if he feels the same way?
PALMON: She’s right. Tell him how you feel. Either way, the Digital World needs you.
MIMI: I know, you’re right. I shouldn’t turn my back on it. Okay, I’m in.
GATOMON: Yay!
MIMI: Let me just grab a few things.

[She gets up and throws some things into a bag. Then she picks up a set of keys.]

MIMI: Where should we leave from?
ZOE: Probably where we arrived.
MIMI: All right, let’s go! My car’s in the garage.

[They head downstairs.]

MIMI: Mom, I’m going out!
MRS. TACHIKAWA: (from living room) Be careful, dear!

[They enter the garage where a car is parked.]

KARI: You car is pink too?
MIMI: Yep!

[They all climb in and Mimi starts up the engine.]

[Half-an-hour later, she pulls into a parking space in a garage.]

MIMI: The park’s a couple blocks from here.
ZOE: We should be close enough then to leave from here.

[They all climb out and Mimi turns on the car alarm.]

ZOE: Bokomon, can you here me? It’s Zoe.
BOKOMON: Affirmative. Are you ready?
ZOE: Yes. There’s five of us.
BOKOMON: Just a sec.

[The three girls hold up their digivices and then vanish in a flash, along with the Digimon.]

[At the secret opening to the underground Seraphimon’s castle, Nefertimon sits. Then three girls and two Digimon appear in front of her.]

ZOE: Nefertimon, we made it!
NEFERTIMON: I’m glad you’re safe. Hurry inside. so Bokomon can put the shield back up.

[She leads them downstairs into the main room. At the computer console sit Bokomon, Izzy, and Tentomon. They all look up as the girls enter.]

IZZY: I was starting to worry you wouldn’t make it.
KARI: Why?
BOKOMON: They arrived six days after you and Takuya left. It’s been three days since.
ZOE: Whoa. Are they here?
IZZY: Um... Why don’t you sit down and we’ll tell you.

[The girls sit in the chairs around the console.]

BOKOMON: After you and Takuya left we started searching for the spirit crystals. It took us two days to locate one. when a signal came up for the ice crystal, Tommy, Koji, and J.P. went to investigate. While they were gone, Koichi, Patamon, Salamon, and Neemon researched to find anything that could help us. Four days later, Takuya arrives with the others. Since we hadn’t heard anything from Koji’s team, Koichi, Matt, and Tai along with their Digimon went to find them.
IZZY: Joe and TK left yesterday, along with Lopmon to check the shield generators. Patamon and Gomamon stayed here because the dust storms come up without warning and they could get knocked away.
MIMI: What about the others?
IZZY: We’ve been working in shifts. Sora’s in the library with Biyomon and Salamon. Patamon, Neemon, Gomamon, Patamon, and Takuya are sleeping.
ZOE: And no one’s heard from anyone?
TENTOMON: No. I feel something’s wrong.
VOICE: Help--We--help--trouble!
KARI: That’s TK!
IZZY: He’s trying to contact us, but something’s interfering with the connection.
GATOMON: Where are they?
BOKOMON: The farthest check-point. At least an hour away, walking.
KARI: We’ll never get there in time!
ZOE: I’ll go. Kazemon can fly.
BOKOMON: But you might not be able to handle whatever’s going on.
PALMON: I’ll go too.
MIMI: You sure?
PALMON: Mmm-hmm.
GATOMON: Then count me in.
KARI: All right. You can make it there faster if you fly.
PALMON: Palmon, digivolve to...
TOGEMON: Togemon! Togemon, digivolve to...
LILLYMON: Lillymon!
GATOMON: Gatomon, digivolve to...
ANGEWOMON: Angewomon!
ZOE: Execute! Spirit Evolution!
KAZEMON: Kazemon!
IZZY: Simply amazing.
KAZEMON: Let’s go.
LILLYMON & ANGEWOMON: Right!

[They fly out of the castle and towards the signal. Flying fast, they make it in twenty minutes.]

LILLYMON: There they are!
ANGEWOMON: Who’s that fighting them?

[On the ground, TK and Joe try to fight the enemy Digimon off with long metal poles.]

KAZEMON: That’s Zanbamon, the general to the unknown enemy.
ANGEWOMON: They need our help. Let’s go!
TK: Look! Reinforcements!
ANGEWOMON: Celestial Arrow!
KAZEMON: Hurricane Wave!
LILLYMON: Flower Cannon!
TK: Yeah! Go, Angewomon!
JOE: Lillymon? That means Mimi’s here.

[Zanbamon turns to the three Digimon.]

ZANBAMON: Annoying pests. Shoo!

[He knocks their attacks away.]

THREE DIGIMON: Huh?! ZANBAMON: Anyway, I’ve got what I came for. It’s time to leave.

[He holds up his hand where a bubble floats. Inside is Lopmon. He flies away.]

KAZEMON: No, come back! Lopmon!
LILLYMON: Are you guys all right?
JOE: We’re fine. Thanks!
TK: We’d better head back.
ANGEWOMON: We’ll take you.

[She picks up TK and Lillymon picks up Joe.]

LILLYMON: Ready? Let’s go!
TK & JOE: Whoa!

[Forty minutes later they return.]

BOKOMON: What happened?
ZOE: He captured Lopmon.
BOKOMON: What?! Why?!
ZOE: We don’t know. But that was who he was after.
PALMON: Any word from the other groups?
BOKOMON: No.

[Gomamon and Patamon enter the room.]

PATAMON: TK, you’re back!
TK: Patamon!
GOMAMON: Joe, Mimi’s in the library if you want to see her.
JOE: Wh--I--Why would that matter to me?
TK: C’mon, Joe. We all know you still like her.
JOE: We’re just friends!
GOMAMON: Whatever you say.
TK: *yawn* I’m going to take a nap.

[TK, Patamon, and Gomamon leave, as do Gatomon, Palmon, and Zoe. Bokomon goes back to work along with Izzy and Tentomon. Joe heads to the sleeping quarters, but pauses outside the library and looks in. Gatomon, Palmon, and Zoe have joined Kari, Mimi, Sora, Biyomon, and Salamon. Mimi looks over her shoulder to the doorway, but nobody’s there.]

MIMI: *sigh*
SORA: What’s wrong?
MIMI: I thought I felt Joe watching.
BIYOMON: Don’t worry. He’ll come around.
SALAMON: I found something.
ALL: Huh?!

[Fifteen minutes later, the girls have gathered everyone in the main room. TK, Patamon, Neemon, Gomamon, and Patamon are rubbing sleep from their eyes. NOTE: TK’s Patamon will now be identified as Patamon 2 whenever the two Patamon’s are together.]

NEEMON: *yawn* What’s wrong? Did the food go bad again? Are we all sick?!
BOKOMON: Be serious, you ninny! Go ahead, Salamon.
SALAMON: I was looking through this old book and I came upon a chapter about black gears.
IZZY: We know all about them. Devimon used them to turn Digimon evil.
JOE: But we defeated him.
SALAMON: And what’s happening to the Digimon now? They’re being turned evil!
TK: You mean, the real enemy is Devimon?
SALAMON: Not necessarily. It could be someone who has knowledge of the black gears.
*Beep beep*
NEEMON: Fire alarm!
PATAMON: No, uncle! the computer’s located another spirit crystal.
ZOE: Which one?
TENTOMON: Two of them. The wind crystal and the fire crystal.
TAKUYA: Where?
IZZY: The volcano region.
TAKUYA: Let’s go.
ZOE: But we can’t go alone. Someone else could be after it as well.
TK: I’ll come.
KARI: Me too.
PATAMON 2 & GATOMON: Count us in!
BOKOMON: Let me give you the coordinates.
PATAMON: I’ll come too.
JOE: Meanwhile, a couple if us can go find the others. They’ve been gone too long.
ALL: All right!

[An hour later, group one sets out for the volcano region. Angemon carries TK, Angewomon carries Kari and Patamon, and Kazemon carries Takuya. After they leave, group two heads out to find the guys. Birdramon carries Sora, Mimi, Palmon, and Salamon while Kabuterimon carries Izzy, Joe, Gomamon, Bokomon, and Neemon. Nefertimon stays behind to watch the castle.]

[The following hour finds Birdramon and Kabuterimon continuing to fly towards the ice region.]

IZZY: We’re half-way there. Something must have happened because it should only have taken a couple days to get there.
SORA: I’m picking up a signal on my digivice.
MIMI: Me too. Right up ahead.
JOE: Let’s check it out.

[The two large Digimon land, allowing the others to get off. They de-digivolve. Peeking through some bushes they see Matt, Tommy, J.P., and Gabumon tied to a tree.]

SORA: Matt!
BIYOMON: Gabumon!
IZZY: No, wait!

[The two girls run over to the guys.]

SORA: Matt, what happened?
MATT: Sora, what are you doing here?
SORA: We’re here to rescue you.
MATT: No, listen. You must go now.
SORA: I’m not going to leave you tied to a tree.
MATT: You have to.
SORA: What are you saying?
VOICE: It’s a trap.
BOTH: Wha--?

[Zanbamon comes out of the trees, leading the others.]

ZANBAMON: Perfect. Just like I planned.
BOKOMON: You fiend! Why are you doing this?! Can’t you see the Digital World is suffering?
NEEMON: You’re destroying it!
ZANBAMON: Hmph. We’re only taking care of the pockets of resistance. You’re the one’s destroying this world. If you didn’t resist, we wouldn’t have to destroy these areas. With these I will make sure the Digital World doesn’t disappear from your actions.

[He holds up a white crystal and a yellow one.]

TOMMY: Give those back!
J.P.: They’re ours!
ZANBAMON: I don’t think so.
VOICE: Think again! Go, WarGreymon!

[From out of the trees flies WarGreymon. Tai joins the group.]

WARGREYMON: Terra Force!

[The attack hits Zanbamon, knocking him away and causing him to drop the crystals. Palmon and Gomamon pick them up while Biyomon and Tentomon free those tied to the tree.]

ZANBAMON: It has gotten too hostile here for my tastes. Never mind, I have what I wanted.

[He holds up a glowing sphere with Salamon inside.]

BOKOMON: Salamon!
NEEMON: Give her back!
ZANBAMON: ‘Till next time! *laughs*

[He flies away. Palmon and Gomamon hand the crystals to Tommy and J.P.]

TOMMY: Thank you.
NEEMON: Why?! Why would he want Salamon?
JOE: And Lopmon. He took her too.
BOKOMON: No, it can’t be.
ALL: What?!
BOKOMON: He must be after the three Celestial Digimon who used to rule this world peacefully. Cherubimon is now Lopmon; Orphanimon’s now Salamon; And Seraphimon is--
NEEMON: Patamon! Oh, no!
MIMI: Patamon’s with TK and Kari!
PALMON: e have to warn them!
J.P.: And find Koji and Koichi. They disappeared.
IZZY: We’ll have to split up. Mimi, Sora, Matt, Tai, and J.P. will go warn TK and Kari. They’ll need your firepower. Tommy, Joe, and I will search for the twins. All right?
TOMMY: Let’s do it.

[Fifteen minutes later, everyone’s ready to go. Lillymon carries Mimi, Birdramon takes Sora, Gabumon, and Matt, WarGreymon carries Tai, Bokomon, and Neemon, and Beetlemon flies. Joe, Gomamon, Tommy, and Izzy head out on foot with Kabuterimon flying ahead.]

MIMI: Joe, wait!
JOE: Hmm?
MIMI: Um, be careful. Please?
JOE: I’ll be fine.
MIMI: There’s something I need to tell you.
JOE: Later, okay? When this is all over we can talk.
MIMI: All right.

[The two groups head off into opposite directions.]

[Meanwhile, TK, Kari, Zoe, and Takuya have arrived at the volcano region.]

KARI: Whew! It’s so hot here.
TK: I’ll say. Did anyone bring an air conditioner?
TAKUYA: Or at least a fan?
ZOE: Look, something’s shinning over there!

[They run over to the edge of a gorge where Zoe saw the flickering light. Down in the gorge flows a river of lava.]

ZOE: There it is. Imbedded in the rock right at the edge. See?
TAKUYA: I see it. It’s our crystals.

[He goes up to the edge and reaches down. All of a sudden the ground gives way.]

ZOE: Takuya!

[He starts to fall towards the river, but an orange young human-like Digimon jumps out and catches him. He returns Takuya to his friends.]

KARI: Thanks, Meramon!
MERAMON: My pleasure. I’d hate to see one of you gone. You’re the last hope this world has. I’m the last one here. One night these round gears came flying out of the sky and imbedded themselves into my friends and family. My mother and father, my siblings, all left as one as if some invisible being was controlling them. *cries*
ZOE: It’s okay. We’ll try our best to get them back.
TK: It really is black gears.
TAKUYA: But we lost the crystals. They fell into the lava.
MERAMON: You mean these?

[He holds out his hand where an orange crystal and a purple crystal shine.]

TAKUYA & ZOE: Thank you!
MERAMON: I’m glad to help. Oh...
GATOMON: What is it?
MERAMON: Something’s coming. Good-bye!

[He jumps back into the lava.]

PATAMON: He’s right. I can sense something big and scary coming.
TAKUYA: Then let’s meet it head-on!
ZOE: (to Patamon & Gatomon) You two rest. We’ll take care of it.
TAKUYA & ZOE: Execute! Beast Spirit Evolution!
BURNINGGREYMON: BurningGreymon!
ZEPHYRMON: Zephyrmon!
BURNINGGREYMON: Get ready. Here they come.

[A group of Airdramon, Kuwagamon, and Snimon gang up on them. Zanbamon is in the front, leading them.]

ZANBAMON: Attack!
SNIMON: Twin Sickles!
KUWAGAMON: Scissor Claw!
AIRDRAMON: Spinning Needle!
BURNINGGREYMON: Ha! Missed us, you flying freaks! Now let us show you how it’s done. Pyro Barrage!
ZEPHYRMON: Plasma Pods!

[Two Snimon, an Airdramon, and a Kuwagamon get knocked out.]

BURNINGGREYMON: Now that’s what I’m talking about!
ZEPHYRMON: *shakes head* Takuya...
ZANBAMON: I said attack them, you fools, not get hit by them! *sigh* Good help is so hard to find.

[The rest of the army falls to the two legendary warriors attacks.]

BURNINGGREYMON: Is that the best you’ve got?
ZANBAMON: Believe me, you haven’t seen my full power.

[Behind the two Digimon, two Airdramon fly to a stop.]

AIRDRAMON: Spinning Needle!
ZEPHYRMON: Huh? Takuya, look out!

[She moves to push him out of the way, but the attack hits both of them. they fall to the ground.]

ZANBAMON: There’s one nuisance out of the way.
VOICE: Yo, Zanba-freak! You forget about us?!

[The other group arrives.]

BIRDRAMON: Meteor Wings!
BEETLEMON: Thunder Fist!

[The two Airdramon fall to the ground. Mimi, Sora, Matt, Tai, Bokomon, and Neemon run over to Takuya and Zoe, who have de-digivolved.]

BOKOMON: Are you guys okay?
ZOE: We’re fine.
TAKUYA: Just a little bruised.
MATT: Where are TK and Kari?
SORA: They’re coming over.

[TK and Kari are running over to them when Zanbamon blocks them.]

WARGREYMON: Get away from them...
METALGARURUMON: ...If you know what’s good for you.
ZANBAMON: It looks like you have bigger problems to deal with.

[A group of Unimon and GranKuwagamon fly up.]

BEETLEMON: Not again.
WARGREYMON: Let’s do it!

[They fly off to battle the new arrivals as Zanbamon turns back to TK and Kari. Gatomon is being held by Kari, while TK holds his Patamon. Patamon peeks out over TK’s shoulder.]

ZANBAMON: Now for what I came for.

[He holds out his hand and the small group is surrounded by a clear mist.]

TK: I can’t move.
KARI: Me neither.

[Zanbamon reaches over and plucks Patamon from TK and encases him in a bubble. The mist clears.]

TK: Hey, give him back! Patamon!
ZANBAMON: *laughs*

[He flies away, followed by the Unimon and GranKuwagamon who are left. Everyone runs over to TK and Kari. TK is sitting on the ground with Patamon on his shoulder.]

KARI: TK, please say something. Talk to me.
TK: He’s gone. Zanbamon took Patamon.
TAKUYA: Why would he want Patamon?
BOKOMON: He wants the three Celestial Digimon: Lopmon, Salamon, and Patamon.
NEEMON: But he got the wrong one. Patamon’s right there.

[He points to Patamon, who’s wearing a pink waistband.]

TK: Bokomon, do you know where he took him? I need to get him back.
BOKOMON: I do know, but those who have gone in, have never been seen again.
KARI: It doesn’t matter. We need to rescue him and everyone else.
VOICE: Whoo whoo!
ZOE: Worm!

[Worm the Trailmon pulls up.]

WORM: Huh, I never thought I’d see you again. You guys need a lift someplace?
ZOE: Yes. Could you take us to where Zanbamon stays?
WORM: W-W-Where Zan-Zanbamon is? Uh-Uh, no way! I’m done with putting my life on the line.
TAKUYA: But we have to rescue our friends.
TAI: Why won’t you help us?!
WORM: Uh- you see, I-- uh-- have to visit my sick grandmother.
J.P.: You don’t have a grandmother!
TK: Please, help us! They have my best friend captive. And Lopmon and Salamon. You have to help us.
BOKOMON: If you take us there and we win, you’ll be remembered as the Trailmon who helped save the Digital World.
WORM: Well, when you put it like that... Ah, what the heck?! Climb on! ALL: Yeah!

[Meanwhile, Tommy, Joe, and Izzy have entered a fog-enshrouded forest.]

TOMMY: Koji!
IZZY: Koichi!
JOE: Man, this fog’s as thick as pea soup.
GOMAMON: Speaking of soup, I’m hungry. When are we going to eat?
TENTOMON: You always think with your stomach, don’t you?
TOMMY: This is where we were separated. One minute they were here and the next, they were gone.
IZZY: Do you hear that?
JOE: Yeah. It sounds like someone’s fighting.
GOMAMON: Let’s go check it out.

[They continue walking and the fog starts getting thinner when a flash of blue catches their attention.]

TOMMY: It’s Lobomon. He’s fighting someone.

[In a clearing, Lobomon holds his two sabers out, pointed at a horse-like Digimon.]

TOMMY: It’s Sagittarimon.
LOBOMON: Give that crystal to me you walking excuse for a constellation.
SAGITTARIMON: I don’t think so. Zanbamon will give me a big reward if I achieve this for him.
IZZY & JOE: A-chi-eve?!
TOMMY: He’s not very smart.
LOBOMON: Don’t you mean appropriate?!

[He jumps up and slashes at Sagittarimon’s right hand, causing him to lose his grip on the crystal. Lobomon grabs it and it shines before returning to the D-Tector.]

LOBOMON: Now, let’s finish this. Slide...
KENDOGARURUMON: ...Evolution! KendoGarurumon! Lupine Laser!

[The blast hits Sagittarimon full force, causing a black gear to rip itself from his back and disintegrate. KendoGarurumon de-digivolves.]

SAGITTARIMON: Huh?! What happened? Where am I? How’d I get here? Who am I?
KOJI: I see you’re back to your old self.
TOMMY: Koji!
KOJI: Hi, Tommy.
IZZY: Excuse me, Sagittarimon? Do you remember anything that just happened?
SAGITTARIMON: No. The last thing I remember is sitting, reading my thesaurus.
JOE: That definitely was a black gear that flew out of him.
GOMAMON: Yes, but why would there be gears here now?
TENTOMON: Maybe there were still some left over.
TOMMY: Hey, Koji, where’s your brother?
KOJI: I don’t know. We got separated in the fog. He could be anywhere.
TOMMY: Then let’s start looking.

[About half-a-mile away, Koichi walks alone.]

KOICHI: Koji! Where are you? Man, this fog’s thick. I can’t see two feet in front of me. VOICE: Koichi...
KOICHI: Huh?! Who’s there?!

[Silence]

KOICHI: No one. I guess I imagined it. It’s too quiet, though.

[He turns to continue walking and comes face-to-face with a black Digimon with eyeballs on his shoulder, chest, and knees.]

KOICHI: D-Duskmon?!
DUSKMON: Koichi, you have betrayed me.
KOICHI: No I didn’t. I released you.
DUSKMON: You could have covered this world in darkness, but instead you sided with them.
KOICHI: I joined the right side.
DUSKMON: Are you sure? Look around. You’re alone, Koichi. Your friends have abandoned you. Join with me again, and together we’ll cover this world in darkness and rule everything.
KOICHI: Never. Execute! Spirit Evolution!
LOWEMON: Lowemon!
DUSKMON: You think you scare me? You’re hiding behind your spirit. I’ll give you one last chance. Join with me again, and you can have it all. Including this.

[He holds out his hand showing a black crystal.]

DUSKMON: You can be Velgemon again. All powerful. No one will resist you.
LOWEMON: Doesn’t sound like much of a life. No family, no friends, sorry, but I’m going to have to refuse your offer.
DUSKMON: Then you will die.
LOWEMON: So be it. Shadow Meteor!
DUSKMON: Deadly Gaze!

[The attacks meet in the center, resulting in a huge explosion. The smoke clears, along with the fog revealing Duskmon and Lowemon, both breathing heavily. The former pulls out his swords as the latter holds his staff. They go at each other, but they’re evenly matched. The fog rolls in again when Lowemon swings his staff low, knocking Duskmon off his feet, but gets kicked away.]

LOWEMON: Slide...
JAGERLOWEMON: ...Evolution! JagerLowemon!
DUSKMON: How?! It’s not possible! I have the crystal!
JAGERLOWEMON: Look again.

[Duskmon opens his hand, revealing a small black stone.]

DUSKMON: Argh! Why you--!!
JAGERLOWEMON: Now let’s end this. Dark Master!

[The attack hits Duskmon, who disintegrates.]

JAGERLOWEMON: No fractal code. It was a fake! How dare someone do this!

[He de-digivolves.]

KOJI: Koichi!
KOICHI: Koji! Am I glad to see you!
TOMMY: You were fighting someone. Are you okay?
KOICHI: Yeah, it was just a bad nightmare that needed to be put away.
TENTOMON: Now that we’re all here, we should meet up with the others in the volcano region. I hope they got there in time.
KOJI: What do you mean?
TOMMY: Zanbamon has captured Lopmon and Salamon and has gone after Patamon who’s with Takuya, Zoe, TK, and Kari. The others went to warn them.
KOICHI: Then let’s go.
*Beep Beep*
IZZY: Hold on, that’s my laptop.

[He pulls out his trusty pineapple laptop.]

IZZY: It’s an e-mail from Kari. “Zanbamon attacked us right before the others arrived and grabbed Patamon. TK’s devastated. We’re on Worm the Trailmon heading to the enemy’s base. It’s Infinity Mountain. Meet us there as soon as you can. -Kari. P.S.- Takuya and Zoe have retrieved their crystals.”
KOJI: Zanbamon has the three Celestial Digimon.
TOMMY: But what does she mean by “TK’s devastated?’
JOE: Oh, right, you never met TK and Kari. TK’s partner Digimon is Patamon. It sounds like Zanbamon grabbed him instead of your Patamon.
GOMAMON: No wonder he’s devastated. Those two are really close.
IZZY: Well, gang, let’s head to Infinity Mountain.
TENTOMON: Allow me. Tentomon, digivolve to...
KABUTERIMON: Kabuterimon! Kabuterimon, digivolve to...
MEGAKABUTERIMON: MegaKabuterimon! Climb on.

[Joe, Gomamon, Izzy, Koji, Koichi, and Tommy climb up and MegaKabuterimon takes off to their destination.]

[The base of Infinity Mountain.]

ZOE: Thank you, Worm!
WORM: You’re welcome. Good luck now, you’re gonna need it. Whoo-whoo!

[He rolls off into the distance.]

J.P.: Well, we’re here. What should we do now?
MIMI: This is deja vu all over again!
TAI: What she means is that our first big battle was against Devimon, who’s base was on the top of Infinity Mountain.
BIYOMON: So what should our plan be?
MATT: Why don’t we split into two groups. Then we can come at him from opposite directions.
GABUMON: That sounds like a good idea.

[The groups split in two. Tai’s group which consists of Matt, Sora, Mimi, and J.P. and Takuya’s group consists of Zoe, TK, Kari, Bokomon, Neemon, and Patamon. Tai’s group heads off to the other side of the mountain while Takuya’s group starts up.]

[Inside a castle on top of the mountain, Zanbamon stands in front of three glowing orbs, each containing a Digimon.]

ZANBAMON: At last. With the power of the these three Celestial Digimon, my master will have enough power to rule this world. Now, to begin...

[Lopmon’s glob sends out a purple beam of light which enters a crystal in Zanbamon’s hand. The crystal glows as Lopmon passes out. Next is Salamon’s pink glow, then Patamon.]

ZANBAMON: What’s this?! There’s no celestial power coming from you.
PATAMON: Maybe because I’m not a Celestial Digimon. I’m TK’s partner, and I’m proud to be!
VOICE: Zanbamon, how goes it?
ZANBAMON: Master! I’m sorry, but there’s a problem. I have collected the celestial energy from these two, but there’s none from this one. It must have been used as a decoy of sorts.
VOICE: You fool! The celestial Seraphimon has a ridiculous pink band around his waist. How could you forget?!
ZANBAMON: My sincerest apologizes. I shall go collect the last piece of your plan. Then you shall rule this world and I shall be your first in command.
VOICE: You think small. What about the other world? The humans are a weak species, too busy fighting among themselves. We shall take that world as well.
ZANBAMON: Yes, my master.
PATAMON: (thinking) TK, please hurry.

[Outside, Takuya’s group is climbing up a rough part of the mountain when TK’s foot slips. Kari, who’s on the ledge right above him, grabs his hand and pulls him up with Gatomon’s help.]

TK: Thanks, Kari. I thought I heard Patamon’s voice just then.
PATAMON: I’m sorry. Your best friend was taken in my place.
TK: It’s not your fault, little guy. It’s Zanbamon’s.
BOKOMON: That’s right. We’ll rescue Patamon, Salamon, and Lopmon!
NEEMON: Oh!
BOKOMON: Not “Oh”! Yeah!
NEEMON: No, oh! Look! We can’t climb anymore. There aren’t anymore handholds.
BOKOMON: Oh is right.
ZOE: What do we do? We can’t go back down.
TAKUYA: Do we have any rope?
KARI: Umm... yes! Here!

[She pulls a length of rope from her backpack.]

KARI: I brought it just in case.
TAKUYA: Thanks. Patamon, can you fly one end of this up to the ledge way up there and tie it?
PATAMON: No problem!

[He grabs one end and flies up several meters to the next ledge and ties it around a heavy rock.]

PATAMON: All set!

[Takuya starts climbing first, followed by Zoe, Bokomon, Neemon, Gatomon, Kari, and TK. Once Takuya reaches the ledge, he turns around to help Zoe up, and notices something coming towards them.]

TAKUYA: Heads up. Zanbamon at twelve o’clock!
ZANBAMON: I couldn’t have asked for a better chance. Everyone clinging to a rope and the Celestial Digimon right in my grasp. Hunting Knife!

[The attack hits the mountain near the others. Zoe loosed her grip and starts to fall.]

TAKUYA: Zoe!!
ZOE: Execute! Spirit Evolution!
KAZEMON: Kazemon!
ZANBAMON: So, does the little fairy want to fight?
GATOMON: Kari, can I help?
KARI: Go for it!
GATOMON: Gatomon, digivolve to...
ANGEWOMON: Angewomon!
TAKUYA: Don’t leave me out! Execute! Spirit Evolution!
AGUNIMON: Agunimon! Aaahh!!

[He starts to fall.]

KAZEMON: Takuya!

[She grabs him.]

KAZEMON: What were you thinking? You can’t fly as Agunimon!
AGUNIMON: I guess I just got caught up in the moment.
KAZEMON: Well, try again!
AGUNIMON: Slide...
BURNINGGREYMON: ...Evolution! BurningGreymon!
KAZEMON: That’s better!

[They rejoin the fight. Angewomon has picked up Patamon, protecting him.]

ZANBAMON: I won’t tell you again. Hand him over.
ANGEWOMON: Never!

[TK, Kari, Bokomon, and Neemon have reached the ledge. Bokomon takes Patamon and sticks him behind him.]

BOKOMON: Stay here, m’boy.
ANGEWOMON: Celestial Arrow!
KAZEMON: Hurricane Gale!
BURNINGGREYMON: Wildfire Tsunami!

[The attacks engulf Zanbamon.]

BURNINGGREYMON: We got him!
ZANBAMON: You think so?

[The energy around him disappears.]

BURNINGGREYMON: No!
ZANBAMON: It seems my holding one of your Digimon partners isn’t enough. Let’s double it then.

[He holds out his hands and a bubble forms, encasing Angewomon. She passes out and de-digivolves back into Gatomon.]

KARI: No! Give her back! Gatomon!
ZANBAMON: I’ll see you at the castle. *laughs*

[He flies away.]

KARI: Gatomon... *cries*

[TK puts his arm around her.]

TK: Shh... Kari, don’t worry, we’ll get her back. We’ll get them all back.
KAZEMON: Well, since he knows we’re here, there’s really no point in climbing. We might as well fly.

[She picks up Bokomon, Neemon, and Patamon, and BurningGreymon takes TK and Kari.]

[Meanwhile, Tai’s group have made it to the top without any interruptions.]

TAI: Well, that was easy.
MATT: A little too easy, if you ask me.
SORA: Something’s not right. It’s too quiet.
MIMI: There aren’t any birds or anything.
J.P.: They’re probably scared stiff to come near this place.
GABUMON: But Matt’s right. Why would Zanbamon let us get this far without attacking us?
VOICE: Maybe because he was busy attacking us.

[They look over to see BurningGreymon and Kazemon flying over. They put their passengers down, then de-digivolve.]

BIYOMON: Where’s Gatomon?
KARI: Zanbamon captured her.
TK: He’s waiting for all of us.
AGUMON: Well, I’d hate to disappoint him.
TAI: Ready, troops! Let’s move!
TAKUYA: That’s my line!

[In the castle, Zanbamon enters his lab.]

ZANBAMON: I’ve got a friend for you.

[He puts Gatomon into the bubble cell next to Patamon.]

PATAMON: Gatomon!!
ZANBAMON: Don’t worry. Once I get what I want, you too will be taken care of. *laughs*

[In the sky above the Digital World.]

KOJI: Could you go any faster? We have to hurry!
MEGAKABUTERIMON: I know that. But it’s not easy with five passengers on my back.

[Back in the lab, the four Digimon sit alone.]

GATOMON: It’s a trap. Zanbamon’s using us to lure everyone else here.
PATAMON: Then we have to get out of here.

[Gatomon’s tail ring glows and the bubble cell she’s in opens. She goes over the Patamon’s cell and releases him. But when she tries to free the unconscious Salamon, nothing happens.]

PATAMON: It must be because they’re the Celestial Digimon. Oh, I hate to leave them.
GATOMON: We have no choice. We’ll find the others, then bring them back to free them.
PATAMON: All right.

[They open the door and sneak out.]

[Outside the castle...]

AGUMON: Agumon, warp digivolve to...
WARGREYMON: WarGreymon!
GABUMON: Gabumon, warp digivolve to...
METALGARURUMON: MetalGarurumon!
BIYOMON: Biyomon, digivolve to...
BIRDRAMON: Birdramon! Birdramon, digivolve to...
GARUDAMON: Garudamon!
PALMON: Palmon, digivolve to...
TOGEMON: Togemon! Togemon, digivolve to...
LILLYMON: Lillymon!
ZOE & TAKUYA: Execute! Beast Spirit Evolution!
BURNINGGREYMON: BurningGreymon!
ZEPHYRMON: Zephyrmon!
J.P.: Execute! Spirit Evolution!
BEETLEMON: Beetlemon!
ALL: Let’s go!

[The front door of the castle flies across the room.]

WARGREYMON: Knock, knock. Anyone home?
METALGARURUMON: No one. I don’t like this.
PATAMON: I can feel Salamon and Lopmon. This way.

[He points up the stairs.]

ZEPHYRMON: We should split up again. That way we can cover more area. and if we are caught, some of us are still free.
BURNINGGREYMON: Agreed. I’ll look for Zanbamon.

[They break up into two groups again. This time BurningGreymon, WarGreymon, Beetlemon, MetalGarurumon, Garudamon, Tai, Matt, and Sora search for Zanbamon, while Zephyrmon, Lillymon, Mimi, TK, Kari, Bokomon, Neemon, and Patamon look for Lopmon.]

[In a dark room, Zabamon bows to the shadows.]

VOICE: The humans have entered my castle. Send your forces to meet them. They shall never leave.
ZANBAMON: Yes, my master.

[Patamon and Gatomon walk down a dark and deserted corridor.]

GATOMON: Patamon, can we rest a bit? I’m so tired. And cold.
PATAMON: Of course. You used a lot of energy to free us. Come on, we’ll keep each other warm.

[They curl up together in a small alcove.]

[Meanwhile, Zephyrmon’s group have entered a large room full of Snimon and Airdramon.]

MIMI: How can all these Digimon fit in here?
TK: The room must be bigger than it looks. An illusion, or something like that.
LILLYMON: Then there’s room to fly. You guys find a safe place to hide. Ready, Zephyrmon?
ZEPHYRMON: Ready. Plasma Pods!
LILLYMON: Flower Cannon!

[Black gears fly around the room then disintegrate.]

NEEMON: Wow, they beat them so easily.
BOKOMON: I guess they’re lucky.
PATAMON: No. Deep down those Digimon didn’t want to fight. They just wanted to go home. Getting attacked is the easiest way.
SNIMON: Oh, where are we?
LILLYMON: Are you all right now?
ZEPHYRMON: Sorry we had to hurt you, but it was the only way to get those black gears out of you.
AIRDRAMON: that’s very nice of you to care. Zanbamon didn’t care when he attacked and captured us.
LILLYMON: Well you’re free now.
SNIMON: Thank you. Are you going to go up against Zanbamon?
ZEPHYRMON: Yes. We’re going to rid this world of him and his master so we can all be free again.
AIRDRAMON: Then good luck to you.

[They blast through one of the wall and fly away.]

BOKOMON: Now that that’s settled, let’s go find our friends!
NEEMON: I’ll lead!

[He walks away and Bokomon runs after him, grabs his waistband and drags him back.]

BOKOMON: You’re going the wrong way, you ninny!

[Zanbamon walks into his lab.]

ZANBAMON: We are so close to victory. All we need is that Digi-brat and we’ll be all set. Those two worthless Digimon will be a big help. Huh?! What’s this?! How did those two escape?! They’re too weak to have gotten very far. Never mind. They’ll be easy to track down and re-capture.

[In another part of the castle.]

MATT: Doesn’t this seem a bit too easy. We haven’t run into any obstacles or evil Digimon to fight. I doubt Devimon is going to let us walk in and spoil his plans without putting up so much as a fight.
TAI: Maybe he knows there’s no point in fighting us ‘cause we’ll win.
SORA: Could someone get Tai to return to reality here.
GARUDAMON: Quiet, someone’s coming.
BURNINGGREYMON: Bring ‘em on!
BEETLEMON: I’m ready for some action.
ZANBAMON: Then you shall get your wish.

[He appears with a regiment of Kuwagamon, Bakemon.]

ZANBAMON: Attack, but remember, I want them alive.
BAKEMON: Yes, sir.
TAI: Ready, Takuya?
BURNINGGREYMON: Oh, yeah.
TAI: Go, WarGreymon!
WARGREYMON: Terra Spin!
BURNINGGREYMON: Wildfire Tsunami!
GARUDAMON: Wing Blade!
DIGIMON REGIMENT: Ow, ooh! Hot! Ow, ow!

[Black gears fly out of the Digimon.]

ZANBAMON: You useless excuse for Digimon! Hunting Knife!

[The blast heads towards the now-good Digimon, but Garudamon flies in and takes the attack.]

SORA: Garudamon!
MATT: You Digimon, get out now!
KUWAGAMON: Don’t have to tell us twice.

[They all fly away. Garudamon de-digivolves to a very weak Biyomon.]

SORA: Oh, Biyomon, are you okay?
BIYOMON: Yes. I’m fine.
SORA: That was so brave of you. I’m so proud.
METALGARURUMON: Rest, Biyomon. You did good.
BEETLEMON: Hey, Zanba-freak, where are the Digimon you captured? If you know what’s good for you, hand them over!
ZANBAMON: Why would I want to do that? Their celestial energy is just what my master needs.
TAI: Does you master always send you to do his dirty work? Sounds pathetic.
ZANBAMON: How dare you speak of Lord Devimon like that. I shall teach you a lesson.
VOICE: Zanbamon, stop.
SORA: Who’s that?
ZANBAMON: Master, why do you stop me?
VOICE: Don’t attack them yet. Bring them to the roof so I can finish them off.
BURNINGGREYMON: And what makes you think we’ll go up there?
VOICE: You will, if you ever want to see your friends again. *laughs*
WARGREYMON: It looks like we have no choice.
BEETLEMON: *sigh* Lead on, Zanba-freak. Just no funny business.
ZANBAMON: I assure you, there’s nothing funny about it.

[He waves his hand and several Meteormon block the exit.]

ZANBAMON: Follow me.

[In the dark alcove, Patamon shakes Gatomon awake.]

PATAMON: Wake up, Gatomon! Come on, please?!
GATOMON: What? I was so warm asleep.
PATAMON: Yes, but we might not have woken up.
GATOMON: Oh, you’re right. It was just so cold, that sleep came quickly.
PATAMON: Let’s go look for TK and Kari. That should help keep us awake.
GATOMON: Okay!

[TK’s group walk out onto the roof.]

NEEMON: Oh, we’re really high up.
BOKOMON: We must have taken a wrong turn.
ZEPHYRMON: Let’s try another way.

[They turn around to go back down, but are blocked by a group of Thunderballmon. They advance towards the group who back up to the edge of the roof.]

MIMI: We’re trapped.
THUNDERBALLMON: Thunder Strike!

[Everyone ducks as the attack flies over them, grazing the wall as it goes off into the distance. Lillymon and Zephyrmon fly up to fight them, Suddenly, the corner of the roof starts to collapse. Everyone gets out of the way, except for Mimi, who starts to fall.]

MIMI: Aaahh!
LILLYMON: Huh?! Mimi!

[Then a large hand reaches out and catches her.]

JOE: Mimi, are you all right?!

[He climbs into Zudomon’s hand, where Mimi slowly starts to sit up.]

MIMI: Joe?
JOE: Yes, it’s okay. You’re going to be fine.

[Mimi throws her arms around Joe’s neck.]

MIMI: *cries* Oh, I thought I’d never get to see you again! And I wouldn’t have gotten the chance to tell you what’s in my heart!
JOE: Shh. Everything’s going to be fine. When we get back we’ll get something to eat and talk.
MIMI: *sniff* That sounds great.
LILLYMON: Mimi, are you okay?
MIMI: I’m fine.
LILLYMON: I’m sorry I wasn’t able to catch you.
MIMI: It’s okay. A part of me knew it couldn’t end just yet.
ZUDOMON: Um, excuse me, but can we go help our friends?
JOE: Right. Let’s go show Devimon that no one messes with the DigiDestined twice!
ALL: Yeah!

[Zudomon returns Mimi and Joe to the group on the roof when MegaKabuterimon flies overhead.]

MEGAKABUTERIMON: This is your stop.

[Koji, Koichi, and Tommy jump off MegaKabuterimon.]

ALL 3: Execute! Beast Spirit Evolution!
KENDOGARURUMON: KendoGarurumon!
JAGERLOWEMON: JagerLowemon!
KORIKAKUMON: Korikakumon!
ZEPHYRMON: Just in time!

[Izzy joins the others.]

ZEPHYRMON: Plasma Pods!
LILLYMON: Flower Cannon!
ZUDOMON: Vulcan’s Hammer!
MEGAKABUTERIMON: Horn Buster!
KENDOGARURUMON: Lupine Laser!
JAGERLOWEMON: Ebony Blast!
KORIKAKUMON: Frozen Arrowheads!

[While the Digimon fight the Thunderballmon, no one notices the Meteormon coming up behind the DigiDestined and grabbing them.]

METEORMON: Stop fighting! If you know what’s good for you Digimon, you’ll cease fighting. Or your human friends will get hurt.

[The Digimon stop fighting.]

METEORMON: That’s better. Now go stand over by the edge.

[The DigiDestined Digimon group together.]

[In the castle, Patamon and Gatomon enter a room.]

PATAMON: This looks like the main room where everything’s planned.
GATOMON: Look at this.

[They look at a large computer screen.]

GATOMON: This must be the layout of the castle.
PATAMON: It looks like something’s going on on the roof. That must be where they are. Let’s go.
GATOMON: Wait a sec. Look over there.

[She points to a glass jar in which lay two crystals.]

PATAMON: An orange crystal and a light blue one. These must be Takuya and Koji’s second crystals!

[Gatomon carefully removes the crystals and hands the orange one to Patamon.]

GATOMON: Now let’s go.

[Zanbamon has led his prisoners to the roof.]

ZANBAMON: Ah, perfect. Everyone’s here.
VOICE: Excellent work, Zanbamon.
TAI: Show yourself, Devimon, or are you scared?
ZANBAMON: Don’t speak like that of him. He is Lord Devimon!
VOICE: As you wish.

[A Digimon steps out of the shadows causing everyone to stare, speechless.]

IZZY: That’s--
TAI: --Devimon?
SORA: But, he’s so--
MATT: --tiny.
KARI: That can’t be Devimon. Can it?
TK: Izzy, what does your computer say?
IZZY: Hmm. He’s DemiMeramon, an in-training Digimon.
DEMIMERAMON: Why are you all staring at me like that?
IZZY: Oh, I see. He’ll digivolve to Rookie which is DemiDevimon.
MIMI: Ick. I remember him.
IZZY: Then to Devimon, his champion form.
TAI: Well, we’ll have to keep him from digivolving.
SORA: How? Even as an in-training he’s powerful.
BEETLEMON: Hey, Zanba-jerk. You’re a mega, so why’re you taking orders from a baby?
ZANBAMON: Lord Devimon is the supreme ruler of the Digital World. With the power of the Celestial Digimon, he’ll be able to digivolve to an all-powerful Mega!
BEETLEMON: Too chicken to try and overthrow him.
DEMIMERAMON: Silence! Now, I could tell you all about my genius plan and then destroy you, but on the off-chance you escape, I don't think I will.
BOKOMON: This doesn’t look good. Huh?! Neemon? Where are you? Patamon, have you seen Nee-- Patamon’s gone too!
TK: What?! But weren’t they just here?
KARI: I don’t know.
BURNINGGREYMON: Hey, Demimon!
DEMIMERAMON: DemiMeramon!
BURNINGGREYMON: Whatever. What’d you do with Patamon and Neemon?
DEMIMERAMON: The last Celestial Digimon is lose? Thunderballmon, take ten of you and hunt them down. I want him alive.
BURNINGGREYMON: Oops.
KENDOGARURUMON: Takuya, you need to think before blurting something like that out.
BOKOMON: Patamon, my boy, come to your papa-mom. Hide-n-Seek is over.

[In the castle, Patamon and Gatomon walk down a corridor.]

GATOMON: We should be there soon.
PATAMON: I hope so. It’s so dark, I can barely see my hand in front of my face-- Ouch!
GATOMON: Are you all right?
PATAMON: I must have walked into something.
VOICE: Who’s there? Show yourself. I’ll warn you though, I know karate.
PATAMON: Neemon, is that you?
NEEMON: How’d you know?
GATOMON: It’s us, Patamon and Gatomon.
NEEMON: But Patamon’s with me.
PATAMON: TK’s Patamon, Uncle.
NEEMON: Oh, right. Right! You escaped?
PATAMON 2: Yeah, we’re on our way to the roof.
NEEMON: You don’t want to go up there. It’s not pretty.
GATOMON: But we have to help our friends!
PATAMON: That’s what we’re doing. We snuck away in order to find something that would help.
PATAMON 2: Well, we found these two crystals in the control room.
PATAMON: Those are Takuya and Koji’s second spirit crystals! We have to give them to them.
GATOMON: Shh... Do you hear that?
THUNDERBALLMON: Fan out and search! They couldn’t have gone far!
GATOMON: In here!

[They run into the nearest room and lock the door, just as the Thunderballmon march by.]

NEEMON: Whew, that was close.
PATAMON 2: They’re looking for you. It’s not safe for you to go back to the roof.
PATAMON: But what about the crystals?
GATOMON: We’ll take them. If you two go two floors down, you’ll find the room your two friends are being held in.
PATAMON: All right. Good luck.
PATAMON 2: You too!

[Neemon and Patamon peek out the doorway and make their way downstairs while Patamon and Gatomon head to the roof.]

[Up top, DemiMeramon’s forces have been doubled with the arrival of several GranKuwagamon and Gryphonmon.]

LILLYMON: Flower Cannon!
ZUDOMON: Vulcan’s Hammer!
GRYPHONMON: Legendary Blade!
LILLYMON: Aahh!
MIMI: Lillymon!
JOE: Zudomon!

[The two Digimon de-digivolve to their rookie forms. Mimi and Joe pick them up.]

MIMI: Palmon, are you okay?
JOE: Gomamon!
PALMON: We’re okay. Just tired.
MEGAKABUTERIMON: Horn Buster!
KORIKAKUMON: Frozen Arrowheads!
BEETLEMON: Slide...
METALKABUTERIMON: ...Evolution! MetalKabuterimon! Electron Cannon!

[The combined attacks manage to knock black gears out of several Thunderballmon, Meteormon, and a Gryphonmon.]

GRANKUWAGAMON: Dimension Scissors!

[The three Digimon de-digivolve.]

IZZY: Tentomon!
TENTOMON: What’s a ‘Tentomon’?
JAGERLOWEMON: Are you guys all right?
TOMMY & J.P.: Mmm-hmm.
TK: This isn’t good. Our forces are getting fewer than the enemy’s.
KARI: What should we do?

[On the other side of the roof, Patamon and Gatomon sneak up behind BurningGreymon and KendoGarurumon.]

PATAMON: Psst.
BURNINGGREYMON: Who’s there? Patamon? What is it?
PATAMON: We found these. We hope they can help.

[He hands the orange crystal to BurningGreymon and Gatomon hands the light blue crystal to KendoGarurumon. The two Digimon return to their human forms.]

KOJI: Thank you, guys. This will help a lot.
GATOMON: It better, ‘cause Zephyrmon’s in trouble.

[Zephyrmon de-digivolves.]

TAKUYA: Zoe, no! Okay, Koji, you ready?
KOJI: Always.
BOTH: Execute Now! Fusion Evolution!
ALDAMON: Aldamon!
BEOWOLFMON: Beowolfmon! Frozen Hunter!
ALDAMON: Atomic Inferno!

[The attacks wipe out half of Zanbamon’s forces.]

ALDAMON: Yes, we are cooking now!
DEMIMERAMON: Zanbamon, give me the celestial energy now.
ZANBAMON: But, my lord. Without the last Digimon you won’t reach maximum power.
DEMIMERAMON: You fool! If they win I won’t have the chance at all!
ZANBAMON: Yes, my lord. Here.

[He hands DemiMeramon a pink and purple crystal which he swallows.]

DEMIMERAMON: Aah, I feel the power. DemiMeramon, warp digivolve to...
CHAOSDRAMON: Chaosdramon!
TAI: No way!
IZZY: He’s Mega, but he’s not at full power, since he couldn’t get Patamon.
CHAOSDRAMON: Let’s rumble! I shall squash you link ants.
WARGREYMON: Terra Force!
ALDAMON: Solar Wind Destroyer!
METALGARURUMON: Metal Wolf Claw!
BEOWOLFMON: Cleansing Light!

[The attacks finish off the rest of Zanbamon’s forces.]

CHAOSDRAMON: Chaos Crusher!

[The four Digimon are knocked to the ground.]

WARGREYMON: This isn’t good. Even without the full celestial energy, he’s still so powerful.
ALDAMON: What should we do then?
BOKOMON: You have all the spirit crystals! Combine your spirits!
BEOWOLFMON: That’s it! Let’s take it up a notch.

[The two spirit Digimon de-digivolve.]

J.P.: Thunder into Light!
KOICHI: Darkness into Light!
TOMMY: Ice into Flame!
ZOE: Wind into Flame!
TAKUYA & KOJI: Unity Execute! Unified Spirit Evolution!
EMPERORGREYMON: EmperorGreymon!
MAGNAGARURUMON: MagnaGarurumon!
IZZY: Incredible. I wonder how many digivolutions they actually have.
MATT: You can worry about that later, Izzy, but we have to find cover.

[The humans and smaller Digimon run out of the way as MetalGarurumon crashes into the wall.]

CHAOSDRAMON: You can’t defeat me!
EMPERORGREYMON: Pyro Dragons!
MAGNAGARURUMON: Starburst Hunter!
WARGREYMON: Terra Force!

[The attacks hit Chaosdramon.]

JOE: No way!
TK: It didn’t even scratch him.

[Chaosdramon hits the three Digimon into MetalGarurumon.]

KARI: What do we do now?
BOKOMON: Pray for a miracle.

[In the control room, Patamon and Neemon are looking at all the buttons, switches, and levers.]

NEEMON: We must have taken a wrong turn. They’re not here.
PATAMON: There are so many buttons. What should we do?
NEEMON: Look at this switch. It says “Do Not Touch Ever.” Should we flip it?
PATAMON: I don’t know. But it’s weird that an evil Digimon would have a switch like that. Why don’t we look around some more.

[They continue to look and Neemon spots something under a large pile. He pulls it out.]

NEEMON: Look at this.
PATAMON: What is it?
NEEMON: It’s an launam noitcurtsni.
PATAMON: Huh? You’re reading it upside down.
NEEMON: Oh, instruction manual. That makes more sense.
PATAMON: Uh, uncle, did it happen to be on the bottom of this pile.
NEEMON: Yeah, why?
PATAMON: Because the pile’s coming down!

[They dodge out of the way as books tumble down. One hits the switch on the console.]

BOTH: Uh-oh.
PATAMON: What does the book say about that switch?
NEEMON: Hmm. Here it is. “The ‘Do Not Touch Ever’ switch holds a mighty power that can bring along the downfall of--
PATAMON: Of what?
NEEMON: The next page is ripped out.

[Patamon leans against the console and accidentally hits a button. The far wall opens, revealing two Digimon held captive.]

PATAMON: Salamon!
NEEMON: Lopmon!

[They run over to them.]

PATAMON: Boom Bubble, wah!
[The attack hits the power box, causing the cells to open.]

PATAMON: Wake up, you guys. Please?

[Up on the roof, Chaosdramon advances, when suddenly a white glow stops him. A figure appears in it.]

ORIGINAL DIGIDESTINED: Gennai!
GENNAI: It’s good to see you again. I’ve been held captive by Devimon and am finally released. I shall give you the last of my power to defeat this evil.

[He disappears and Patamon, Gatomon, WarGreymon, MetalGarurumon, EmperorGreymon, and MagnaGarurumon start to glow.]

SORA: Gennai!
BOKOMON: It’s a miracle!
PATAMON: Patamon, warp digivolve to...
SERAPHIMON: Seraphimon!
GATOMON: Gatomon, warp digivolve to...
MAGNADRAMON: Magnadramon!
WARGREYMON & METALGARURUMON: DNA Digivolve!
OMNIMON: Omnimon!
EMPERORGREYMON & MAGNAGARURUMON: Ancient Spirits Unite!
SUSANOOMON: Susanoomon!
ALL: Wow!

[Down in the control room, Patamon, Salamon, and Lopmon glow as well. The two latter Digimon wake up.]

SALAMON: Ohhh, what happened?
PATAMON: There’s no time. We have to get to the roof!

[On the roof...]

CHAOSDRAMON: No! This can’t be happening!
SUSANOOMON: Oh, but it is. Heaven’s Thunder!
OMNIMON: Supreme Cannon!
SERAPHIMON: Seven Heavens!
MAGNADRAMON: Fire Torpedo!

[Zanbamon disintegrates.]

CHAOSDRAMON: Hmph. Just as well. I have no need of weak servants.

[Patamon, Salamon, Lopmon, and Neemon appear. Neemon runs over to Bokomon and the others while the others three continue to glow and start to change.]

SERAPHIMON: Seraphimon!
ORPHANIMON: Orphanimon!
CHERUBIMON: Cherubimon!

[NOTE: Seraphimon still wears the pink waist band.]

CHAOSDRAMON: But how?! I have your energy!
SERAPHIMON: Chaosdramon, you have destroyed the goodness of the Digital World.
ORPHANIMON: We are here to make sure it will not spread.
CHERUBIMON: The Digital World shall once again be pure and good.
CHAOSDRAMON: No! I shall never be defeated!
SERAPHIMON: You don’t stand a chance against the full power of the Celestial Digimon and Gennai!
ALL LARGE DIGIMON: Let’s do it!
ORPHANIMON: Eden’s Javelin!
MAGNADRAMON: Fire Torpedo!
SERAPHIMON (both): Strike of the Seven Stars!
OMNIMON: Transcending Sword!
SUSANOOMON: Celestial Blade!
CHERUBIMON: Lightning Spear!
CHAOSDRAMON: No, it’s not possible! Aaahhhh!!

[He disintegrates.]

TAI: The end to a long and overwritten evil.
MATT: It’s finally over.

[He puts an arm around Sora. Mimi hugs Joe and TK hugs Kari. Suddenly, the castle starts to shake.]

IZZY: Without Devimon’s power the castle is falling apart!

[The larger Digimon pick up everyone and fly into the sky as the castle collapses.]

J.P.: Is it really over?
TOMMY: Who knows.
KOICHI: But for now, everything’s right in the world.

[As they watch the sun come up, the Forest Terminal returns to it’s full glory along with Seraphimon’s Castle.]

NEFERTIMON: Well done, children.

[Orphanimon’s Castle re-appears as well as Cherubimon’s.]

[One week later, the original DigiDestined, their Digimon, the new DigiDestined, Bokomon, Neemon, and Patamon are all sitting in a cafe. Joe has his arm around Mimi, who’s smiling up at him. Bokomon writes in his book about the battle and Patamon and Neemon look out the window, watching the cars drive by.]

SORA: But why would they say Digimon couldn’t survive in the Real World?
MATT: Think of it. If the Digimon knew, then they’d try to come here and all the humans would be terrified and cause widespread panic.
TAI: They’re still not totally used to our Digimon.
DIGIMON: *munch munch*
IZZY: I still think it’s unbelievable that humans can turn into Digimon. I need to do more research.
TAI: You could become Izzymon.
TAKUYA: Anything’s possible in the Digital World.
ZOE: Yeah. None of us would’ve met.
KOJI: We owe a lot to the Digital World.
KOICHI: And the Digimon who’ve helped us.
TOMMY & J.P.: Mmm-hmm.
BOKOMON: This is incredible! I can’t write everything that’s happened fast enough!
PATAMON: Look at those funny things on wheels!
NEEMON: They’re going by so fast, I’m getting dizzy!
PATAMON 2: Hey, Patamon, I have an idea.

[The two Patamon’s fly off into a corner. Neemon sits next to Bokomon.]

GATOMON: I wonder what those two are planning.
BOKOMON: Neemon, would you stop looking over my shoulder?! I’m trying to concentrate!
JOE: Well, since we’re all here, we have an announcement to make.
MIMI: Joe and I are getting married!
ALL: Really?!
KARI: Oh, Mimi, that’s great!
SORA: I’m so happy for you! And we have something to announce too.
MATT: We’re going to be parents.
ALL: What?!

[Everyone congratulates the two couples and the two Patamon’s stick their heads out.]

PATAMON: A wedding?
PATAMON: And a baby?
BOTH: Tippee!
BOKOMON: Patamon, I need to ask you something about our recent adventure.
BOTH PATAMON’S: Which one?

[Bokomon looks over at the two, who only have their heads visible.]

BOKOMON: Which one’s which? I need my Patamon.
PATAMON: I’m Patamon!
PATAMON: And I’m Patamon!
TK: I know which one’s my buddy. We’ve together too long for me not to know.

[He picks up the closest Patamon, only to see that one wearing a pink waist band.]

ALL: *laugh*
PATAMON 2: Just kidding. I’m your partner.

[He slips the band off and hands it back to Patamon who puts it back on.]

PATAMON: And I’m papa-mom’s Patamon.
BOKOMON: My baby!
ALL: *laugh*

[One year later, wedding bells ring out among cheers of family and friends. Sora hold’s her new son in her arms as well as a baby Punimon. TK and Kari exit the church and make their way to the limo, Patamon and Gatomon behind them (in a sit & dress). Then Mimi and Joe exit the church followed by Palmon and Gomamon (also dressed up). Mimi tosses her bouquet and Zoe catches it, causing Koji and Tai to elbow Takuya. Kari tosses her bouquet which lands in Tai’s hands. (He wasn’t paying attention). Takuya and Matt elbow him. The four newlyweds climb into their respective limos and drive off.]

NEEMON: I can’t stop crying.
BOKOMON: Yes, but do you have to do it on me?
PATAMON: Here’s a hankie.
BOKOMON: And a happy ending for all.
NEEMON: *blows nose and cries*
BOKOMON: If a little wet.

THE END

ENDING NOTE: The answer to Izzy’s math problem to his students is: X=12, Y=23, Z=16. (That’s of course considering if I did it right. ^_^)
