Note: When I transcribed this, I used their Japanese names. Takato is Takato. Lee is Henry. Reika is Rika.

[In the building.]

WOMAN: It's a wild one, but I've never seen anything like it. It's trying to bioemerge. I don't know what it's bringing along, but it's bigger than a bread box. Unbelievable. Oh! Sir, it succeeded.

[In the city.]

REIKA: Digivolving. I don't understand it.

[Flashback.]

TAKATO: Guilmon!
GUILMON: Guilmon, digivolve to...
GROWLMON: Growlmon!

[End Flashback.]

REIKA: I've seen hamsters with more battle experience than Guilmon, but still, he could digivolve. And so could that weenie little rabbit.

[Flashback.]

LEE: No!
TERRIERMON: Terriermon, digivolve to...
GARGOMON: Gargomon!

[End Flashback.]

REIKA: And when it happened to Renamon...

[Flashback.]

REIKA: Please, no. Renamon!
RENAMON: Renamon, digivolve to...
KYUBIMON: Kyubimon!

[End flashback.]

REIKA: It's what I've wanted for the longest time. I should be satisfied. Still, I feel like there's something I'm missing. What was that?! Mom! I could of sworn I felt something.

[Calumon appears in front of Reika.]

CALUMON: Hi!

[From above, Impmon watches.]

IMPMON: Ha, ha, ha! They are so stupid, it hurts. They hang out with humans so much they start acting like them. It makes my fur stand. Have they no pride?

[Back on the city street.]

REIKA: I don't have any food. So why are you following me?
CALUMON: Want to play!
REIKA: Huh?
CALUMON: Here I go!
REIKA: what are you doing?
CALUMON: Eskimo kisses!

[From down the street, Reika's mom approaches.]

REIKA'S MOM: Reika!
REIKA: hi, mom. What are you doing here?
REIKA'S MOM: What a day! Ugh! We had a photo shoot, but before we could start, these people showed up wanting my autograph, asking me the secrets to my youthful good looks. They just wouldn't leave me alone. We couldn't get anything done all day. Being famous and popular can be a pain in the neck. You are so lucky you don't know how that feels.
REIKA: Yeah. Lucky me.
REIKA'S MOM: Well, gotta go. Wait. Reika! I think your toy is just adorable!
REIKA: (to Calumon) You had to be cute, didn't you?

[Later in the day, Impmon is in some trees and fights some crows.]

IMPMON: Bada boom! Ah, fight back, you cowards! I guess my firepower's just too much for you, huh I'll have to wreak havoc elsewhere.

[Outside Reika's house, Calumon is still following Reika.]

REIKA: Listen, you little squirt, I'm immune to your ootsy cutesy act, so scram!
CALUMON: Oh.
REIKA: Keep going, shorty.

[Calumon leaves as Renamon appears.]

REIKA: Renamon?
RENAMON: You called?
REIKA: where have you been?
RENAMON: Watching you from over there.
REIKA: Oh.
RENAMON: You don't look well, Reika. Is there something troubling you?
REIKA: Nothing. I'm fine.

[That night, Renamon is sitting outside when Impmon approaches.]

RENAMON: Huh?
IMPMON: Oh. Hey, fine and foxy. so we meet again.
RENAMON: Oh, it's just you.
IMPMON: what do you mean 'just me'? Come back here! (to himself) Oh, check out miss high and mighty. Maybe a good fight will knock her off her perch. (to Renamon) Hey, I heard Terriermon call you a fat tailed bully! If I were you, I'd teach that egg shaped loudmouth a lesson! Huh? what? You're going to let him get away with that?
RENAMON: Terriermon won't fight.
IMPMON: why not?
RENAMON: His tamer has forbidden it.
IMPMON: Huh? Ugh. What kind of digimon doesn't fight? Those rotten humans. They've made him a pet. A DigiPoodle. But if Terriermon can't fight back, I can whup his doughy patootie or steal his lunch and get away without a scratch. Think of the possibilities.

[At Reika's house, her mom is trying to get her to try on some dresses.]

REIKA'S MOM: Well, what about this dress with the lace and poofy sleeves? Or this one? Try it. It'll make you look more like a girl.
REIKA: Am I being punished for something? I told you before, I can't stand cute things like this.
REIKA'S MOM: Uh, well, what about that stuffed toy I saw you holding?
REIKA: That was for a science project. We had to measure the effects of gravity on small objects, so I threw it off a bridge.
REIKA'S MOM: Oh.
REIKA: I'm outta here.

[Reika leaves the room, while here mom holds the dress up to herself and looks in the mirror. Reika's grandmother pokes her head into the room.]

REIKA'S GRANDMOTHER: Well, I guess she's still into tomboy chic.
REIKA'S MOM: Huh?
REIKA'S GRANDMOTHER: Reika just has her own style, that's all. Honestly, dear, there are more important things in life than looking pretty.
REIKA'S MOM: Really? Like what?

[In Reika's room, Reika senses something outside.]

REIKA: Renamon?
RENAMON: Yes, Reika?
REIKA: go and see what's out there, okay?
RENAMON: As you wish.
REIKA: Well, who was it?
RENAMON: No one.
REIKA: Don't lie to me. I know something's out there What's that look for?
RENAMON: Don't worry. I'll do everything I can to protect you.
REIKA: You don't need to protect me. I don't know why you even say stuff like that.
RENAMON: Because, Reika, I'm your partner.
REIKA: Let's get his straight. I don't buy all this stuff about partners and feelings.
RENAMON: Uhh...
REIKA: I don't need you. I don't need anybody!

[The next day, in the park, Takato is practicing his card swiping techniques while Guilmon, Lee, and Terriermon watch.]

TAKATO: Okay, here we go. Digimodify! Activate! So, how'd I do?
LEE: Not bad.
TAKATO: Not bad?
LEE: Let's just work on strategies, okay? Have you heard of combos?
TAKATO: Sure. Uh, I think I have. That's when you use two or more cards at a time, right?
LEE: Right. and if you use them in succession, you can get some pretty potent results. It's a good thing to keep in mind.
TAKATO: Yeah. That and the other million things you've told me.

[Impmon appears in a tree above them.]

IMPMON: Well, if it isn't the dum-dum club.
TAKATO & LEE: Hmm?
IMPMON: Did you miss me, boys?
LEE: Just ignore him.
TERRIERMON: Easy for you to say. You can't smell him.
TAKATO: Let's go. Guilmon, come on.
IMPMON: I just want to have a friendly fight. Give you all a nice, friendly butt-kicking. He won't fight?! Well, here's my chance to blast some sense into him.
TERRIERMON: Hmmm...
LEE: Terriermon, don't touch him!
TERRIERMON: I know.
IMPMON: Bada boom!
TERRIERMON: Terrier Tornado!
IMPMON: Ahh!
LEE: Terriermon, what did I just tell you?
TERRIERMON: I didn't actually touch him, now.
LEE: You are incorrigible.

[Somewhere else.]

RENAMON: Terriermon and his tamer. Their relationship is so different from mine and Reika's. I wonder, if I acted more human, would she accept me? Would she finally let me get close to her?

[In the city, Reika's seeing unusual shapes that only she can see.]

REIKA: What do you wa... Uh, nothing. Huh? Huh? Get out of the way. Hey, I saw you, you creep. Now come out! Huh?

[Reika's sucked into a digital field. She opens her eyes to find herself in a white digimon's arms.]

DIGIMON: Welcome to my humble abode.
REIKA: Are you a digimon?
DIGIMON: Yes.
REIKA: So this is a digital field?
DIGIMON: Exactly. Beautiful, isn't it? It suits you perfectly.
REIKA: It suits me?
DIGIMON: The way you treat people. How you think. You're cold as ice. You have no time for warm weak relationships. Yes. You always expect perfection from yourself and others. You demand it. I am the only one who understands you, Reika. That is why we're destined to become partners.
REIKA: Partners? Us?
DIGIMON: Yes.
REIKA: No. I can't. I already have a partner.
DIGIMON: Renamon?
RENAMON: Reika, where are you?

[Flashback.]

REIKA: I don't need you. I don't need anybody.

[End flashback.]

DIGIMON: Reika.
REIKA: What have I done?
DIGIMON: I want to show you something.
REIKA: What is it?
DIGIMON: To prove I'm worthy to be your partner. I've set up a little show and tell so you can see my power for yourself.

[Outside.]

LEE: Whoa.
TAKATO: Hey, guys. what are you doing? Wait for me!

[Back in the digital field.]

DIGIMON: For years, I have hunted hundreds of digimon and absorbed their data. They were friends to some, maybe even partners.
REIKA: Uhh.
DIGIMON: But as you once said, they are merely stepping stones.
REIKA: I never said that.
DIGIMON: Ah, but you did. I fight to digivolve. You make your Digimon do the exact same thing.
REIKA: No. I couldn't see it before, but there's more to Digimon than fighting. I would eat dirt before I'd ever let Renamon become what you are. A monster.
DIGIMON: Better a powerful monster, than a weak nobody. Is that what you really want? To be a nobody?
REIKA: I'll tell you what I don't want to be. The partner of some freak show digimon. You think you know everything about who I am? Well, you don't! So just spit it out, hornhead. What do you want?
DIGIMON: Ah, you have no idea how exquisite you are when you're angry. I've been searching so long for someone like you with a heart of ice and a will of stone. And now my search is over. I want you to be my Tamer.
REIKA: In your dreams, pal.
DIGIMON: Don't play hard to get. You want to be the strongest digimon tamer. I want to be the strongest Digimon. We're perfect for each other.
REIKA: Never.
DIGIMON: Hmm. Are you thinking of that pitiful excuse for a Digimon of yours? Renamon, is it? You've never settled for second best before. Why start now? Why waste your time with beauty when you can tame the beast? But go ahead. Summon her. Perhaps you prefer a live demonstration of who the superior digimon is.
REIKA: No way.
DIGIMON: Then I'll just have to call her myself.
TAKATO: This is it. Does anyone have any bright ideas?
LEE: Just one. Let's try not to get ourselves creamed.
TAKATO: Who left the freezer on?
LEE: Look, it's Reika. Hmm. IceDevimon. Whoa, a champion fallen angel Digimon.
ICEDEVIMON: And I thought you didn't have any friends.
TAKATO: Let her go, now!
ICEDEVIMON: My new tamer and I were just getting acquainted.
LEE: She's not your tamer. Reika has Renamon.
TAKATO: I think it's time for a little upgrade, don't you?
REIKA: Let me go, you frozen freak.
TAKATO: What do we do?
LEE: This is not going to be easy. He's much stronger than any Digimon we've ever defeated before. What we really need is an effective strategy to deal with him.
TAKATO: Like a kick in the pants.
LEE: I wish it were that easy. Hmm.
TAKATO: Ready, Guilmon?
GUILMON: Mm-hmm.
TAKATO: Go get him. Ready, set, and go!
LEE: Here's your chance, Terriermon!
TERRIERMON: It's about time. Goody, goody.
TAKATO: Time to fight.

[IceDevimon let's go an attack, freezing Guilmon and Terriermon where they stand. Takato jumps on top of the ice, trying to break it.]

TAKATO: Guilmon, no!
LEE: Terriermon!
TAKATO: Got to... get them... out of there.
ICEDEVIMON: I hear one becomes quite warm just before freezing.
LEE: You're so twisted, it's scary.
TAKATO: DigiModify! Key, activate! Uhh. I don't get it.
LEE: Where's Renamon?
REIKA: Renamon's gone.

[Flashback.]

REIKA: I don't need you. I don't need anybody.

[End flashback.]

REIKA: Even if I called...
ICEDEVIMON: come on, Reika. Fess up. Did you two have a fight? It just proves she's too weak to handle a special trainer like you. You need a partner who understands you. Who appreciates you, and who craves your cold strength. Embrace the future I offer you.
REIKA: I don't believe it.
ICEDEVIMON: Ahh. The infamous Renamon. I'd love to sit and chat, but I have to destroy you.
REIKA: No.
RENAMON: Diamond Sto...
ICEDEVIMON: Frozen Claw!
RENAMON: Ahh! Uhh. Diamond Storm!
ICEDEVIMON: Frozen Claw!
RENAMON: Uhh.
LEE: Reika, she has to digivolve now!
REIKA: I can't let her digivolve. She might end up like IceDevimon.
RENAMON: Uhh.
ICEDEVIMON: Why do you look at her like that? A digimon is only useful if it can fight. Tell me. Why do you care for this pathetic creature?
REIKA: She's my friend. I care because Renamon's my friend. Oh.
DIGIVICE: Digivolution.
RENAMON: Renamon, digivolve to...
KYUBIMON: Kyubimon!
REIKA: Why did you digivolve?
KYUBIMON: Fox Tail Inferno!
REIKA: Where are you going, frosty?
KYUBIMON: Dragon Wheel!
ICEDEVIMON: Tundra Freeze. Avalanche Claw!
CALUMON: Whoa.
REIKA: Kyubimon.
LEE: We have to do something. Got it.
TAKATO: Huh?
LEE: I have an idea. Digimodify! Expansion, activate!

[Terriermon expands, shattering the ice around both him and Guilmon.]

LEE: It worked.
TAKATO: All right, you guys? Now it's our turn.
ICEDEVIMON: I don't think so, boy.
KYUBIMON: Fox Tail Inferno!
TAKATO: Are you ready, Guilmon?
GUILMON: Hmm?
TAKATO: Let's get him!
GUILMON: Okey-dokey.
TAKATO: Digi-modify! Speed, activate! Ha! Back for more already?
GUILMON: Pyrosphere!
ICEDEVIMON: Frozen Claw!
TAKATO: digimodify! Hyper wing, activate!
LEE: That's it.
TAKATO: Let's go!
GUILMON: Pyrosphere!
ICEDEVIMON: No! No!

[Guilmon destroys IceDevimon and absorbs his data. The digital field disappears, leaving them on top of a roof.]

KYUBIMON: Reika, are you okay?
REIKA: I hate 'em.
KYUBIMON: Well, he's gone now.
REIKA: Not him?
ALL: Huh?
REIKA: I hate Digimon. All of them.
ALL: Huh?
TAKATO: Oh, Reika, you don't mean that. Kyubimon, wait a minute! Where are you going? Hey, what's wrong with you? Aren't you guys supposed to be friends?

TO BE CONTINUED...

DAVIS NARRATOR: Is it possible? Does Reika really hate all Digimon? To find out... keep watching Digimon: Digital Monsters!
