Episode Nine
– It Was the Best of Times
TK: Last time on Digimon,
Maria realized that when she was in the Digiworld, she had missed a big concert
that she was going to play at. Despite her true feelings, she helped the rest
of the gang to track down Kari and I in the forest. I told them about what
happened to Kari, and we decided to figure a way to get into the fortress in
order to get our digimon. Maria almost left her violin behind, but Okomon
convinced her that she shouldn’t give up the violin because of one little
mistake. When we confronted Cupidmon, Maria’s crest began to glow, and
Conegamon digivolved to Psyconegamon!
<Digimon Opener>
(digivolving sequence:
“Conegamon…digivolve to…!!!…Psyconegamon!!”)
Scene: We see Psyconegamon,
floating slightly curled up in front of Maria, facing Cupidmon. Tai, Matt,
Sora, Mimi, Joe, Izzy, and Allison are up near the forest, staring down in awe.
We also see the in trainings, who have stopped moving around, and are gazing at
the glowing Ultimate digimon below.
Koromon: What…happened?
Motimon: That Conegamon
digivolved AGAIN!
Tsunomon: …Does that mean she
has a digidestined partner?
Tai: All right! She did it!
Allison: Uh…could someone
explain to me what just happened?
Izzy: Conegamon was
successful in digivolving to the Ultimate level because Maria’s crest glowed!
We can win now!
Allison: OK…well, that’s a
good thing…
Cupidmon: Hmphf. I guess
you’re toughing than I thought. (readies bow) Let’s see if you can handle THIS!
PEIRCING SHOT!!
(Psyconegamon rapidly
unravels and shoots straight up, the arrow missing her)
Maria: (gazing up, excited)
Psyconegamon! Oh my GOSH, you’re too cool!!
Psyconegamon: You haven’t
seen anything yet. (flies toward Cupidmon) Crescent…(the crescent on her
forehead begins to glow, then shoots a beam of light toward Cupidmon) SMASH!
Cupidmon: DAAH!! (the attack
hits him fully, and we hear a loud CRASH. A swirl of dust rises around where
Cupidmon was)
TK: All right!!
Maria: HA! He’s history!
Psyconegamon: Not so fast…
Maria: Huh? (looks at
Psyconegamon, then the cloud of dust before them)
(Silence…then we see a small
dark shape shoot out of the dust)
Cupidmon: (he looks scuffed
up, but he’s able to fight. He flies by flapping his heart-shaped wings fast
like an insect) Was THAT the BEST you could do?
Mimi: Oh NO! That should have
gotten rid of him!!
Izzy: Actually, I’m not
surprised.
Kari: Huh?
Izzy: Psyconegamon’s strong,
but not more so. Both Cupidmon and Psyconegamon are Ultimates. We’re gonna need
some more help, unless we want to see this battle go on until someone quits.
Joe: Well, Maria sure isn’t
gonna give up (all look at Maria, who has her fists raised in the air, yelling)
Maria: Come on,
Psyconegamon!!!! Show him who’s boss!!!!!!!!!!
(Cupidmon is zipping around Psyconegamon,
who is much larger. She stays still, and looks like she’s meditating)
Sora: What is she doing…?
Maria: Hey, did you fall
asleep? We’re kinda in the middle of a battle right now…!!
Psyconegamon: (speaking into
everyone’s minds but Cupidmon’s) I need to store my strength. Please, everyone.
You need to help Terremotomon get up. I can’t defeat Cupidmon without her.
Allison: Terremotomon…
Matt: Yeah! That’s how we can
even up the odds!! MARIA!! (yelling down to Maria) Try to wake up Terremotomon!!
Maria: I got ya!
Allison: I’ll come help!!
Matt: I don’t think so.
(grabs her arm) You’re more help if you stay up here.
Allison: (blushing) OK…(Matt
lets go, and all focus back on the fight. Allison begins to dance around behind
everyone, excitedly whispering) He grabbed me arm, he grabbed me arm…!!
Izzy: (sweatdrop) O-keeey…
Maria: (standing next to
Terremotomon) Terremotomon, wake up! We need your help! Come on!!
(Cupidmon readies an arrow)
Cupidmon: Meditation time’s
over, pal. Piercing Shot!!!!
Psyconegamon: (springs awake,
and dodges the arrow) Maria, hurry!
Maria: I’m doing the best I
can! (turns back to Terremotomon) Come, you can take a nap AFTER you beat the
bad guy! Wake UP!
(Terremotomon is still
motionless, and the in-trainings in the barred window look on)
Motimon: This doesn’t look
good…
Tanemon: Why won’t
Terremotomon wake up? Is she OK…?
Tai: This is getting nowhere.
(shouting to Maria) MARIA!! We’re coming down to help you!!
Maria: Gimme a second, OK?!
(thinking) Come on, Maria, think!! Shouting isn’t working…(flashback to the
in-trainings trying to get out; “Come on! Pull harder!!”… “I’m comin’ Tai!!”…
“Bubble BLOW!”) Hey!! (she looks up at the window, and sees the digimon) Of
course!! (yelling to Tai) You guys!! Look at that window in the fortress!! Are
those digimon yours?!
(all “Huh…?”, and look up at
the small window)
Mimi: (squinting) I…can’t
see…
Tai: (popping out his
mini-telescope) I just love this thing…(focusing…he seeing Koromon) HEY!
KOROMON!!
Koromon: Huh? (sees Tai
waving) TAI! TAI!!!
Tai: It’s him! It’s really
him!!
Joe: Gimme that!! (snatches
the mini-telescope, and focuses)…HA!! It’s them!! All our digimon are in the
window!! I can even see Bukamon!!
Sora: (happy) Really?!
Mimi: (tears forming at the
edges of her eyes) Tanemon’s right…over there…!!
Maria: (yelling) I need you
to tell them to aim a bunch of attacks at Terremotomon to try to wake her up!!
Kari: Will do!!
TK: Hear that, Tokomon?
(Tokomon perks up, with almost-teary eyes) Aim a ‘Bubble Blow’ at Terremotomon!
Izzy: You too, Motimon!
Joe: I’m counting on you
Bukamon!
Matt: Tsunomon!
Mimi: You can do it Tanemon!
Sora: Yokomon!
Joe: Bukamon! Do it!
Tai: Show em’ what you’re
made of, Koromon!!
Koromon: Tai…(furrows
eyebrows, turns to the rest of the digimon) Ready, guys?!
All: Mm-hm!!
Salamon: (to Tokomon) After
you!
(back to Cupidmon and
Psyconegamon’s battle. Psyconegamon is flying around, never taking her eyes off
Cupidmon, who is shooting arrows but not making any contact.)
Psyconegamon: (thinking)
Hurry, Maria!(suddenly we hear Tokomon yell “Bubble blow! PAH!”, and
Psyconegamon looks down to see three or four bubbles smack Terremotomon in the
head) That’s it! Keep it coming, everyone! (goes back to Cupidmon)
Bukamon: Bubble blow!!
Tanemon: Bubble blow!!!
Yokomon: Bubble BLOW!!
(all three attacks hit
Terremotomon, who begins to groan and shift around a little)
Izzy: It’s working!! Keep
going, you guys!!
Motimon: Bubble BLOW!
Tsunomon: BUBBLE BLOW!
(both hit, and Terremotomon
turns over on her back, still asleep)
Tai: Make it count, Koromon!
SHOT!!
Koromon: Bubble…BLOW!!!
(the bubbles smack
Terremotomon in the face)
Maria: Terremotomon, WAKE
UP!!
(silence…then Terremotomon’s
eyes jolt open)
Terremotomon: (sitting up)
Huh? Hey, who hit me in the face?!
Koromon: (shouting to the
digimon below) Sorry, but we kinda need some help!
Terremotmon: (looks up at the
two flying battling digimon) Is that Conegamon? She…digivolved!!
Maria: Yeah, but she still
needs your help. Are you up for it?
Allison: (yelling) You can so
it, Terremotomon!
Terremotomon: (standing,
poised and ready to fight) Let’s do this puppy!!
Cupidmon: (sees Terremotomon)
Hm? AAH! You were supposed to be unconscious!!
Psyconegamon: Terremotomon!
AAH! (Cupidmon’s arrow hits her right between her wings, and begins to fall)
Joe: AH!!
Maria: (split-screen with
Joe) Psyconegamon!!
Terremotomon: Fury
Twister!!!! (she begins to spin rapidly, causing a tornado. Psyconegamon’s fall
slows to a stop)
Allison: Hey! I didn’t know she could do that!
Cupidmon: Hmphf, neither
could I. (dive-bombs Psyconegamon)
Psyconegamon: (spreads wings
and gets out of tornado) Thanks, Terremotomon!
Terremotomon: (stops
spinning) Look OUT!
Cupidmon: (turning into a
comet) Meteor Smash!!
Psyconegamon: Crescent
Smash!!! (the attack hits Cupidmon, who stops half-way to Psyconegamon)
Cupidmon: AAH! (attack fades,
Cupidmon’s wings buzz even faster) Oooh…are you always this vexing?!
Allison: Huh…?
Izzy: He means annoying.
Allison: (folds arms in a
huff) Well…I knew that!!
Cupidmon: It’s time I got rid
of you for good. (ball of energy forms in his hand) The Dark Triad will be
soooo proud!!
Terremotomon: Psyconegamon!
Are you ready?
Psyconegamon: Ready!
Cupidmon: (the ball is growing
larger than himself, and he holds it over his head with two hands) Passionate
CORE!!!! (throws the ball of energy at Conegamon)
Terremotomon: Rolling
Spikes!! (she jumps straight up, and begins spinning rapidly toward Cupidmon’s
attack. She hits it and bounces it off course.
Cupidmon: Eh?
Psyconegamon: (begins flying
in a circle up-and-down) Ancient…(the balls at the end of her tail begin to
glow and create a trail. She forms one big hoop of golden light, about the size
of Magnagemon’s Gate of Destiny. She spins faster and faster) …Sphere!!!! (the
hoop shoots forward, right at Cupidmon)
Cupidmon: AIEEE!!!!!! (the
light completely dissolves Cupidmon, the entire moat is filled with light.
Terremotomon lands on the ground in the moat and looks back up)
Terremotomon: Accomplished.
(de-digivolves to Topomon)
Psyconegamon: (slows
spinning, then stops, and just floats) Thank you Topomon.
Topomon: Don’t mention it!
Allison: Topomon!! (sliding
down the side of the moat)
Tai: (waits a minute…then
says) Aw, heck, I’ve always wanted to do this! (starts to slide down the moat
surfer-style)
Izzy: (packs up laptop) Let’s
go! (skids down the moat, and everyone follows)
Maria: (laughing and watching
them all coming) Guys! We did it!
Allison: (holding Topomon)
Don’t forget Psyconegamon!
Maria: (giggles, and looks
up)
Psyconegamon: I have one
thing left to do.
Koromon: Psyconegamon! Could
you help us get out?
Psyconegamon: (floating over)
It’d be my pleasure. Stand back, now. (all the digimon disappear from sight)
Crescent Smash! (the attack blasts a hole in the wall, and when the dust
clears, the in-trainings jump forward)
Tai: Koromon!
Koromon: Oh, man, I feel so
excited I might burst!! (jumps forward toward Tai) Koromon digivolve
to…Agumon!!
Tsunomon: Tsunomon digivolve
to…Gabumon!!
Yokomon: Yokomon digivolve
to…Biyomon!!
Motimon: Motimon digivolve
to…Tentomon!!
Tanemon: Tanemon digivolve
to…Palmon!!
Bukamon: Bukamon digivolve
to…Gomamon!!
Tokomon: Tokomon digivolve
to…Patamon!!
Salamon: Salamon digivolve
to…Gatomon!!
(all land in their owner’s
arms, laughing and weeping from joy)
Kari: Gatomon, how are you?!
Gatomon: (wiping away a tear)
I’m doing just great, now!!
TK: (hugging Patamon)
Patamon…I kept my promise…
Patamon: I’m back TK!
Palmon: Mimi! It’s really
you!!!!
Mimi: (crying) Oh, Palmon!!!!
I’m so glad you’re heeeeeere!!!!!
Sora: Biyomon! (hugging
Biyomon) I missed you so much!
Biyomon: (hugging back) Not
as much as I missed you!!
Matt: (crying) Gabumon…
Gabumon: It’s great to see
you again, Matt…
Agumon: Tai, you’re here!!!
Tai: (tears on his face, but
he’s grinning) You better believe it, buddy.
Gomamon: (running into Joe’s
arms) Joe!!
Joe: (laughing and crying)
Gomamon, I’m back!!!
Tentomon: (buzzing over to
Izzy) Izzy? Is that you?
Izzy: (catching his digimon,
tears rolling down his face, smiling) That’s right, Tento.
(Amid all the crying and
hugging, Maria, Allison, and Topomon stand on the side-lines. Psyconegamon
floats down and de-digivolves to Savumon)
Savumon: (falling on top of
Maria’s head) Oof!
Maria: (catching her) Huh?
Savumon!
Savumon: Being an Ultimate
takes a lot of energy.
Mimi: (smiling, looks over at
Tai) Tai, are you gonna be OK?
Tai: (looks up with tears
still on his face) Definitely.
Gomamon: Hey Joe, who’s that?
(motioning to Maria and Allison)
Joe: Hm? Oh! (walks over to
Maria and Allison holding Gomamon) Gomamon, I’d like you to meet my friend
Maria.
Gomamon: (raising up a paw)
Hiya!
Maria: Nice to meet you! This
is your digimon, Joe?
Joe: That’s right! Gomamon
and I go way ba-
Maria (interrupts him and
grabs Gomamon, holding him at arms length) He’s adorable!!!
Joe: (holding up his empty
hands) Huh…?
Gomamon: Haaa! She thinks I’m
cute!
Maria: (starts hugging him)
He’s just so cuddly I could just hold him all day!!!!
Joe: (sweatdrop) Um, I don’t
think that’s necessary…
Allison: (giggles) I bet Joe
wishes he were Gomamon right now…
Joe: (runs over and clamps
his hand over Allison’s mouth) SSH!!!!!
Tentomon: And who is that
that Joe is restraining?
Allison: (flings Joe’s hand
off) Er-hm!!! My name’s Allison. Nice to meet y’all!
Patamon: (sitting on TK’s
head) Are both of you digidestined?
Maria: Yeah! We got digivices
the night before we came here, and we have crests, too! Oh! (picks up Savumon)
I also have Savumon!
Savumon: Good to meet you.
Gabumon: I was very impressed
with your battling skills.
Palmon: Yeah, and thanks for
busting us out!
Topomon: What am I,
invisible?
Allison: Of course not! This
is my new friend, Topomon.
Biyomon: Hi!
Agumon: We owe you for
helping out, too! Thanks!
Topomon: Don’t mention it!
Izzy: (hears a bird cawing in
the distance) Uh-oh. We better get out of hear before the Saberdramon find us.
Savumon: I’d love to help,
but I’m still pooped out from that battle.
Biyomon: Don’t you worry!
Patamon: We can help out.
Tentomon: Flying’s our
specialty!
(digivolving sequence…
“Biyomon!…digivolve…to…!!!!…Birdramon!!”… “Patamon
digivolve…to!!…Angemon!!”…“Tentomon digivolve…to…Kabuterimon!!”)
Allison: Wow!!
Maria: Those must be
Tentomon’s, Biyomon’s, and Patamon’s champion forms!
Kabuterimon: Need a lift?
Birdramon: I’m raring to go!
Angemon: I have a maximum
weight limit of 200 pounds.
Scene: Angemon, Birdramon,
and Kabuterimon flying over the dessert with the digidestined.
Kari: (holding Salamon) Why
does Angemon have to carry ME?
TK: (shouting back from
Kabuterimon’s back) You’re the lightest of all of us!
(all the boys are on
Kabuterimon, and the other four girls are riding Birdramon, two girls on each
leg)
Sora: Oh, wow…I haven’t done
this in four years…
Maria: (holding Savumon)
Sora, you’re not going to cry again, are you?
Sora: (giggles) No, I’m fine.
Mimi: (holding Palmon) I’ve
never felt so happy…Palmon, let’s never separate again, OK?
Palmon: Sounds good to me!
Allison: (holding Topomon,
smiling at her friends)
Kabuterimon: Oof…you guys
have gained weight, that’s for sure.
Izzy: Well, it’s been four
years. We’re bound to have grown.
Gomamon: So, Joe…what’s your
relationship with Maria right now?
Joe: WHA?!
Tai: Hoo, boy, here we go…
Agumon: Hm?
Matt: Yeah, Joe, tell us!
What’s your status right now? ‘Just friends’? Gimme a break!
Gabumon: I think I’m missing
something here…
Joe: (blushing) What do YOU
care who I study with, anyway?
Gomamon: Ooooh…I get it.
You’re ‘study’ partners…
Joe: WHAT ARE YOU IMPLYING?!
TK: I’m sure glad I don’t
have to worry about stuff like that, Gabumon.
Gabumon: That’s for sure… (as
TK looks back at Kari)
(the three flying digimon disappear into the horizon)
