Episode Ten - Personal Revelations

 

NISOMON: Last time on Digimon: The Middle Series, Conegamon had digivolved into Psyconegamon and faced off in a battle against that big lunkhead, Cupidmon. Maria’s Determination and Psyconegamon’s strength managed to defeat Cupidmon and they released all the other Digidestined kids! Grrrr, and after all that hard work I did to lock them up in the first place... Damien shoulda put ME in charge, not that loser Cupidmon.

 

Setting: Piedmon’s empty palace, where a computer screen is playing and re-playing a recording of the Psyconegamon vs. Cupidmon battle. A clenched fist can be seen next to the keyboard, slowly shaking as if with rage.

 

DAMIEN: NO!!! (He pounds on the desk, then angrily turns off the screen. The camera pans back and we can see him and his brother and sister and all their digimon standing behind him. We can also see that the Machine is on the desk.) This... this is INEXCUSABLE!

SOLOMON: In... inex... uh, yeah, unforgivable! Who do those kids think they are?

DAMIEN: I was referring to Cupidmon.

TOXEMON: Do ya think he survived?

DAMIEN: If he did, he’s going to wish he hadn’t once I get through with him.

NISOMON: I bet they’re sitting around a campfire somewhere, singing happy songs about how great they are.

CRYSTAL: Damien, I’m sick of sending stupid servants to do all our fighting for us!

SOLOMON: I agree with Crystal. We should be out there fighting those kids ourselves! Right now, while they’re still weak from being in prison.

MECHIMON: I concur. The battle abilities of we three digimon is a resource that you have been neglecting, Damien.

SOLOMON, whacking MECHIMON on the head: Don’t insult Damien like that!

DAMIEN: No... no, he’s right. We will attack now, while all of their digimon are exhausted.

CRYSTAL: But they have an Ultimate digimon, and they outnumber us now!

DAMIEN: Don’t worry. Statistics show that it’s very difficult for a digimon to digivolve to Ultimate again after performing the feat for the first time. And I’ve been working on a solution that should help us overcome that very problem in the future, even after this Okomon manages to digivolve again.

 

Setting: The digidestined and their digimon are all in a clearing in another forest, right next to the ruins of Myotismon’s castle. They’re all chatting and playing with their digimon.

 

Mimi: (trying to reach some fruit on a tree) Grr…come on…

 

Palmon: Poison Ivy!! (she grabs the fruit, and hands it to Mimi)

 

Mimi: Thanks, Palmon…

 

Matt: (talking to Gabumon) …so anyway, I’m thinking of starting my own band. Pretty cool, huh?

 

Gabumon: What are you going to name it?

 

Matt: Hm…I dunno yet…

 

Tai: (as TK and Patamon chase around in the background) Man, look at everybody! I feel like it’s Christmas morning or something.

 

Agumon: But better!

 

Tentomon: Izzy, I’ve been wanting to ask you something.

 

Izzy: Shoot.

 

Tentomon: Why are Maria and Allison here? As much as I and everyone else enjoys their company, I’m still curious what they’re doing here. How long have we known that they were digidestined?

 

Izzy: Well, you see, I got a message from Gennai the night before we came here. He said he had sent digivices to Maria and Allison, and that he needed all of us to come to the Digi-World.

 

Gatomon: So, Gennai said that they were digidestined.

 

Izzy: Yeah! Or…(thinks) Wait a sec, if I correctly recall…

 

(flashback to Gennai’s message)

 

Gennai: Don’t forget to bring Maria’s sister Allison, too. They’ve become part of this ordeal as well.

 

Izzy: But how…?

 

Gennai: The last time I sent an e-mail to you, I also sent two new digivices to their house. I need them to bring those, too.

 

Izzy: Gennai, do you realize how crazy this all sounds? Tell me why you’re doing this!

 

Gennai: Sorry, the frequency’s breaking up! I’m running out of quarters….

 

(Static covers Gennai’s face, and you can here muffled phrases)

 

Gennai: Don’t forget…digivices…Maria and Allison…are…the new…

 

(flashback fades away, and Izzy thinks)

 

Izzy: Hey! That’s right! The connection terminated before he could finish his sentence!

 

Allison: So…we might not be digidestined?

 

Izzy: I can’t be sure. But he never actually said you were.

 

Maria: But we have digimon, digivices, and crests! You all do, right?

 

Matt: Yeah…but how can we know for sure…?

 

Tai: (snaps his fingers) Hey!! I thought of something!

 

Izzy: That’s a first…

 

Tai: We were all present at Heighton View Terrace when Koromon came to the real world and fought Parrotmon. Maybe they were there!

 

Joe: I doubt it, Tai. They moved to Japan two years ago from the U.S.

 

Maria: Excuse me, but did you say Heighton View Terrace?

 

Agumon: Hm? Yeah!

 

Allison: We did live there…

 

Maria: …for a short period of time.

 

All: WHAT?!

 

Izzy: (kinda shouting in Allison’s face) WHEN?!

 

Allison: (sweatdrop) About…eight years ago.

 

Kari: That’s when it happened!

 

TK: Maria, do you remember anything about a terrorist bombing around there?

 

Maria: Yeah! That’s the whole reason we moved.

 

Allison: The whole terrorist attack happened at night. Yeah, I remember! Part of our apartment got blown away!

 

Matt: Hm…something’s missing here…

 

Sora: Huh?

 

Matt: Do remember seeing any monsters that night?

 

Maria: Monsters…?

 

Allison: Why would there be monsters during a terrorist raid?

 

Joe: Because it wasn’t a terrorist raid.

 

Maria: Huh?!

 

Joe: Maria, no one but the eight of us saw what really happened. A Koromon came into the real world and digivolved when it met Tai and Kari (cut to standstill from the movie; Tai’s blowing the whistle as he holds Kari) Greymon battled Parrotmon, and both digimon were destroyed in Greymon’s Nova Flame (cut to standstill of Greymon attacking). That’s what caused all the demolished roads and buildings and rubble.

 

Maria: Come to think of it…I wasn’t even awake…

 

Izzy: Well, the rest of us watched the whole thing. It allowed for our information to be processed by the Those Who Wish for Harmony in the Digital World. That’s how our crests and digimon were created.

 

Allison: So you were just watching that whole battle, and then Greymon blew Parrotmon to pieces?

 

Izzy: Yeah…well, actually…

 

Tai: What is it Izzy?

 

Izzy: It’s kinda weird, but…I actually saved this one girls life at the end of the battle.

 

Mimi: Really? Why haven’t you told us before?

 

Izzy: Never saw the need to. I haven’t really thought about it until recently. I keep having these reoccuring dreams about it…(furrowing eyebrows)…but I can never make out what the gil looked like…

 

Allison: Hold it, wait a sec, back up. You’re saying you saved some girl’s life that night? Like how?

 

Izzy: She was sleepwalking or something, and I had to jump over to the porch she was on and push her out of the way before this big hunk of concrete smashed into the side of the apartment.

 

Allison: (eyes shaking) You…swear?

 

Izzy: (noticing her aprehenciveness) Um…yes…why?

 

Maria: Izzy…Allison was sleepwalking the night of the battle.

 

Izzy: What…?

 

Mimi: You mean, Allison could have been that girl?!

 

Allison: I didn’t see any of the battle, but when I woke up, there was this wall of concrete where the porch was…

 

(flashback to after Izzy had grabbed Allison and pulled into the apartment. Allison, in her jammies, is staring terrified at where the porch used to be. Izzy is still holding her, eyes shut, but then he opens them, and lets go of her. He looks stunned. Slowly, he turns around and also stares at the chunk of debree)

 

Izzy: (whispering) That…was close.

 

Allison: (starts to cry)

 

(off in the distance, we hear Maria sleepily say “Allison? Allison!” She runs into the room, and stares at the chunk of concrete; she looks to be about nine years old)

 

Maria: What…happened?

 

Allison: (still crying) Maria…

 

(we see Maria and Allison’s parents come in, picking up Allison and talking and shouting. Neighbors knock on their door, and they let in Mr. And Mrs. Izumi, who rush to Izzy, and pick him up. He continues to stare at the wall of concrete. The scene fades out)

 

Allison: They said there had been a terrorist bombing, so my mom and dad decided to move to America.

 

TK: Wow, that’s quite a councidence!

 

Kari: If it weren’t for Izzy, Allison wouldn’t be here!

 

Sora: Man, and I thought Tai and Kari were in the most danger. Allison could have been in big trouble!

 

Maria: Yeah, but it’s OK, that happened a while ago. Right, Allison?

 

Allison: (somewhat distracted) Huh? Uh…yeah. (looking at Izzy, thinking) He…saved my life…

 

(A shadow passes over the collected Digidestined and their digimon, shaped like a bird or dragon with a long, thin tail and a wide wingspan. A loud WHOOSH sounds overhead and the Digidestined all fall silent.)

 

SORA: What was that?

BIYOMON: I don’t know, and I don’t think we want to find out...

 

(The figure who created the shadow, Sworddramon (a thin, dark grey dragon-like digimon with wings who wields a scimitar), lands near the group and the Dark Triad and two of their digimon jump to the ground. Nisomon has digivolved to his Champion level, Sworddramon. Damien has the Machine in his hands.)

 

DAMIEN, (sarcastically): That’s... touching, it really is. Almost romantic, actually.

ALLISON, (angrily, as Izzy shrinks away from her in fear): We do NOT have crushes on each other!

DAMIEN: Not that kind of romantic. I meant... oh, nevermind! I’m not here to argue semantics with you.

AGUMON: Oh? Then why are you here? To lock us all up again? If that’s it, you’re gonna find it won’t be as easy as last time!

CRYSTAL, (waving a hand dismissively): Nah, we’re through with trying to lock you up.

SOLOMON: Yeah. We can’t keep you guys in prison as long as we need you to be out of our way. So we’re going to destroy you instead. He grins.

MATT, (looking surprised): Wha? Destroy us?

DAMIEN: Yes, my brother and sister are indeed correct. If you Digidestined can’t be trusted to mind your own business and stay out of our way while we purify the Digital World, then we have no choice but to eliminate you.

 

(TAI blinks, then starts laughing out loud. All of the other digimon and Digidestined join in, which looks to be angering all of the Dark Triad except Damien. Finally Mimi stops laughing and speaks.)

 

MIMI: It may be just me, but... why are we laughing at the evil genius who wants to kill us?

TAI: Evil genius! Izzy, maybe you should give this so-called evil genius a lesson in math. We outnumber you ten to three!

DAMIEN, (chuckling): Oh, you’re as short-sighted as our boss said you were, Tai. We may be outnumbered, but I happen to know that your digimon were all left quite weak after your battle with my servant, Cupidmon. Ours, on the other hand... (He raises the Machine up for all to see.) ...are quite prepared. Now, I’m a reasonable person. I am giving you one chance to surrender peacefully and go back to your own world.

T.K.: Not a chance, you creep! We’re not just going to run away and let you destroy the Digiworld!

PATAMON: That’s right.

CRYSTAL, (sighing): You just don’t GET it, do you? We don’t want to destroy the Digital World. We just want to make it ready for our boss when he gets here.

KARI: Your... boss? Who are you talking about?

IZZY: And what’s that shell-thing you have there? It looks mechanical...

DAMIEN: Oh, you ARE quite the smart one, aren’t you? This... (He carresses the Machine’s smooth curved top.) This is my masterpiece. The very highest fruits of my inventive genius... with this, I can control the very fabric of the Digital World itself!

MIMI, (holding her nose and waving a hand at Damien): You sure do like to hear yourself talk, don’t you? Do us all a favor and be quiet for a while.

SOLOMON, (angrily): Don’t insult my brother like that!

DAMIEN: Bah! All right, then, I can see you don’t want to surrender. Sworddramon... Crystal... Solomon... you know what do do.

CRYSTAL: Toxemon... don’t hold back! Show these kids they can’t mess with us!

TOXEMON: Right!

SOLOMON: Mechimon, go teach these punks to respect the power of the Dark Triad!

MECHIMON: Affirmative, Solomon.

 

(Damien raises the Machine to his face and the camera zooms in on him. The Machine’s lights begin to pulse faster. Damien’s Dark Crest of Shadow starts to glow with what can only be described as darkness. It flares out, but instead of giving off light it absorbs all light that touches it. Sworddramon de-digivolves back into Nisomon, who waits anxiously.)

 

DAMIEN, (grinning evilly): Digivolve.

 

(He presses a button on the Machine’s center, where the spiral ends. Nisomon, Toxemon, and Mechimon both become surrounded by the same dark light as the crest.)

 

NISOMON: Nisomon warp-digivolve to... (He goes through his warp-digivolve sequence: Nisomon is sitting near the crater of an active volcano, which explodes suddenly with flames and lava and blocks the camera’s view of him. When the fire clears, Dracomon stands on the rim of the volcano. He jumps off the volcano, then swings his mighty axe into the volcano’s slope and makes it collapse.) Dracomon!

TOXEMON: Toxemon warp-digivolve to... (She goes through her warp-digivolve sequence: Toxemon sits in a flowery glade, when suddenly the sky turns dark. The plants around her change into hideous thorny bushes with vines that reach out to grab her. They wrap her up completely, but then they all explode away to reveal Floradelumon.) Floradelumon!

MECHIMON: Mechimon warp-digivolve to... (He goes through his warp-digivolve sequence: Mechimon is placed by a robotic arm onto a conveyor belt, which moves through a factory line. Machines on both sides of him remove various parts of his body and replace them with larger ones, gradually transforming him into Industrimechimon. When it’s over, he opens up with his cannons and destroys the factory around him.) Industrimechimon!

 

MARIA: Savumon! We need your help!

 

SAVUMON: Savumon digivolve to…Okomon!!

 

(All of the Digidestined digimon except for Okomon and Topomon digivolve to their Champion level and face off against the three Megas.)

 

SOLOMON, (squeezing one hand into a tight fist and smiling): Oh, this is SWEET. Finally we’re showing off our real strength instead of sitting in that stupid palace all day!

ALLISON, (patting Topomon): Is something wrong, Topomon?

TOPOMON: I dunno... Okomon, you too?

OKOMON: I... n’gah. Digivolving to Psyconegamon drained all my strength. I’m sorry, Maria.

MARIA: It’s all right, it’s not your fault!

IZZY, (looking a little pale): Th... those are Mega digimon! We can’t possibly stand up to them as Champions! We’ve got to get out of here, now!

TAI: No! We can’t just run away from our problems. Mega, Champion, it doesn’t matter. We’ve beaten Mega digimon in the past. We’ve got to get rid of the Dark Triad now, while we have the chance. Greymon, go get him!

GREYMON: Nova Blast!

 

(Greymon’s attack flies toward Dracomon, who simply blocks it with the blade of his axe. Dracomon chuckles.)

 

DRACOMON: Gonna have to try better than that, little buddy. Draconis... BLAST!

 

(Dracomon holds his axe like a rifle, blade end pointing at Greymon. An orb of crackling energy shoots out the the end and strikes Greymon, exploding like a supernova. Greymon instantly de-digivolves into Agumon. The blast strikes Garurumon and Ikkakumon as it spreads, making them de-digivolve too.)

 

JOE and MATT: No!

JOE: Tai, we have to stop this! We can’t win!

 

(Tai grits his teeth and looks pained, but doesn’t say anything.)

 

KABUTERIMON: Electro Shocker!

TOGEMON: Light Speed Jabbing!

 

(Kabuterimon’s electric attack hits Industrimechimon, but it dissolves harmlessly off his armor. Togemon’s punches are easily avoided by the quick Floradelumon.)

 

INDUSTRIMECHIMON, (in a rumbling monotone): Choking Smog attack.

 

(Kabuterimon and Togemon are both sent to the ground by the thick green fog, unable to do anything but choke and flail around on the ground.)

 

Floradelumon: Ninefold Thorns!

 

(Floradelumon whips twice diagonally with her vicious weapon, and when the camera shows Kabuterimon and Togemon again they both have deep cuts from the flail. Both of them de-digivolve, exhausted. Mimi runs over to Palmon and picks her up.)

 

MIMI: Oh, Palmon! You were so brave!

PALMON: Nnngh...

IZZY: Tai, we’ve got to run, now! Our digimon are being seriously hurt. The odds are completely against us here!

MARIA (to Joe): Is Tai always this stubborn?

JOE: Unfortunately, yes.

 

(Close-up of Tai, whose eyes are closed and who is obviously struggling with the idea of retreat. Finally he opens his eyes and makes a decision. He waves for everyone to follow him before picking up the downed Agumon.)

 

TAI: Follow me, everyone! Into the forest! (He dashes off and the Digidestined follow close behind.)

SOLOMON, (laughing): D’you think you can get away from us so easily? After them!

 

(Industrimechimon rumbles slowly into the forest, knocking over trees. T.K. and Sora, who are running alongside each other, exchange some whispered words. Sora gets Birdramon to land, then both of them get on her back. Angemon and Birdramon fly up out of the forest, and now we can see that a huge and strangely familiar castle lies in its center. Birdramon and Angemon both fly towards it, pursued closely by Dracomon.)

 

ANGEMON, (turning around in mid-flight): Hand of Fate!

 

(The attack hits Dracomon, who is temporarily blinded by its light. Birdramon takes this opportunity to fly into the castle’s open front gate, and the camera zooms in on it to show the other kids following. Angemon de-digivolves, flies unseen through the forest, and finally makes it through the gate. Now inside the castle, Tai and Matt both pull on a large wheel to close the gate. The camera switches back to the Dark Triad. The three Mega Digimon de-digivolve (sending poor Nisomon plummeting into the forest only to emerge a minute later bruised and dizzy) and black energy flows back into the machine, setting it smoking.)

 

DAMIEN, (growling): No! Not now! Not when we were so close!

CRYSTAL, (yelling): OoooOOOOoooh! No! No! No! No! Damien, can’t you fix that stupid thing?

DAMIEN, (in a dull, depressed voice): It was overloaded by the energy of our Mega digimon. I need to fix it up so that it’ll be able to handle it in the future.

SOLOMON: GRAH! I can’t believe this! (He punches a tree with his full weight, then pulls his red and swollen hand back and cries squiggly-tears.) Owowowow!

DAMIEN: Will you two just STOP IT?

NISOMON, (bowing deeply to Damien): My apologies, Master. I allowed them to escape. I have failed you.

DAMIEN: That’s for sure. You can’t even handle your own strength. Weakling.

 

(Nisomon looks up slightly, but then flinches back down as Damien kicks him viciously in the head. Nisomon falls backwards and lands on his back, then cowers backwards from Damien. Damien has a disgusted look on his face. He waves a hand to the others, then walks back in the direction the Dark Triad originally came. Nisomon trails some distance behind, looking very depressed and hurt.)

 

Scene: Inside the castle. The door creaks open.

 

Joe: (watching the Dark Triad leave) Coast is clear.

 

Mimi: Coast? We’re in a forest…

 

Agumon: (running to Tai) Tai! (Tai picks him up) Did I do well?

 

Tai: You were awesome!

 

Izzy: Great job, troops!

 

Tentomon: (buzzing over) It was a bit of a landslide, since they weren’t able to stay in their mega forms.

 

Sora: (smiling) Hey, let’s take our victories how want want to!

 

Biyomon: Good thing we could hide in Myotismon’s castle!

 

Maria: Huh? My-otis-mon?

 

(fade to five minutes later…the group is back outside in the clearing in the trees)

 

TK: So, Gatomon digivolved into Angewomon, and got rid of Myotismon.

 

Allison: Man! Sounds like one big fairy-tale!

 

Maria: Gatomon, no offence or anything, but why didn’t you digivolve to Angewomon when we were fighting the Dark Triad? Doesn’t Kari have a crest?

 

Gatomon: Yeah, but here’s the thing. We can’t use the power of the crests anymore.

 

Okomon: You mean, you have crests, but they can’t enable you to reach the ultimate level anymore?

 

Gatomon: (nods) That’s right.

 

Topomon: How come?

 

Kari: About a year after we defeated the Dark Masters and Apocylomon, Gennai sent us back. He said we needed to use the power of our crests to break the seal containing the powers that protect the digital world. That finally got the time-warp back to normal, and the digital world became beautiful everywhere.

 

Tai: (frowns) So now, none of our digimon can reach the ultimate level.

 

Maria: That’s too bad.

 

Allison: You had to do it against your will?! That’s not fair!

 

Mimi: It doesn’t matter. (Allison looks at her) We’re digidestined. It’s our duty to do everything we can to protect the Digi-World. I mean, we’re talking an entire civilization. I think that’s worth not being able to use our crests, don’t you think?

 

Sora: Well said.

 

Maria: Well, I still have just one question.

 

Tai: What’s that?

 

Maria: (turning to Joe, narrowed eyes) Why didn’t you TELL me you were involved in all this…?!

 

Joe: (sweatdrop) Um…uh…

 

Allison: (sweatdrop, patting her back) Come on, Maria! I didn’t know either!

 

Mimi: How come JOE didn’t tell you…? What, are you guys dating or something?

 

<silence>

 

Joe: (chokes)

 

Maria: Hm? No, we just go to school together.

 

Joe: Breathe…breathe…

 

Allison: (whispering to Joe) You wish…

 

Sora: How long have you known each other?

 

Maria: Um…’bout a year. I transferred to his school last year in the middle of the semester.

 

Tai: So, you met at school.

 

Joe: Well, actually…it’s a bit more complicated than that.

 

Tentomon: Do tell!

 

 (Fade to a flashback. It’s at night in Odaiba. We see the occational car pass a bus stop, which has one street lamp next to it. Joe’s sitting at the bus stop, reading a magazine. He’s in his school uniform. He checks his watch, then goes back to reading.)

 

Joe: Hmm…my bus is almost fifteen minutes late… what gives?

 

(We hear footsteps, and Joe looks up. Maria is walking down the street on the other sidewalk, face buried in a thick book. Joe goes back to reading. As another car passes by, Maria stops at a cross-walk that ends right where the bus stop is. Still buried in her book, she presses the button to get across. We hear a ding, and Maria starts to cross the street. All we hear are her footsteps…but then, we hear a distant honking noise coming from down the street.)

 

Joe: (looks down the street, not noticing Maria) Huh?

 

(We see nothing at first in the dark, but then, two headlights appear. There’s a bus, going at least 50 MPH, heading for Maria. Maria keeps walking, and is about half-way through the street. Joe panics, as the bus gets closer.)

 

Joe: (he turns his head and sees Maria, and lets out a gasp) Hey! WATCH OUT!!

 

Maria: (she looks up form her book at Joe) Hm? (then, she turns her head) AAAAAEIIII!!!

 

(We see Maria’s silhouette against the oncoming headlights. The bus’s horn is blaring. Maria’s petrified with fear, and can’t move. Suddenly, we see Joe run toward Maria and tackle her, pushing her and himself out of the way of the bus. In slow motion, Joe, holding Maria, leaves the ground for just an instant. The force of his tackle sends them spinning. Still in slow motion, the bus whizzes past, and Joe lands on the street with Maria still in his arms.)

 

Joe: OOOOOW!!!

 

(Maria’s eyes are clamped shut, but then she opens them. She jolts up, and whips around to see the bus driving away. Joe lays there, clenching his teeth. Now all we can hear is Maria’s shaky breath. She stares after the bus a moment, but then, realizes something, and looks back at Joe. Joe opens one of his eyes, his teeth still clenching from the pain. He’s holding his shoulder.)

 

Maria: Ah! Are you all right?

 

Joe: (opens both eyes, trying to smile, but still hurting) I’ve…felt better.

 

Maria: (sees him clutching his shoulder) Oh, you’re hurt! Here, let me help you…

 

(She helps him up with his other arm, and he stands.)

 

Joe: That’s better- OW! (clutches his shoulder again)

 

Maria: You must’ve landed on your shoulder. We better get you to a doctor right away…

 

(The two walk away, Maria’s book laying forgotten in the street)

 

Maria: (off-screen) By the way, my name’s Maria. What’s yours?

 

Joe: It’s Joe. Thanks for helping me, Maria.

 

Maria: Thank you for saving my life, Joe…

 

(The scene fades)

 

Gomamon: Wow…

 

Matt: That’s incredible!

 

TK: And Joe just happened to be there!

 

Maria: Yeah, I pretty much owe Joe my life.

 

Joe: Don’t mention it!

 

Okomon: Interesting…

 

Maria: Mm? What is it, Okomon?

 

Okomon: This is some coincidence…Izzy, a digidestined, saved Allison’s life, and Joe, also a digidestined saved Maria.

 

Allison: I guess that is a little weird.

 

Okomon: I’m also interested that neither of you saw the battle between Parrotmon and Greymon. This is THE first time you’ve seen digimon, correct?

 

Maria and Allison: Yeah.

 

Topomon: Do you think there’s some kind of connection?

 

Okomon: I’m not sure yet.

 

Izzy: I think that’s a valid theory. You just need to collect more evidence.

 

Okomon: Oh? I don’t need evidence. I’m a psychic digimon, I can sense things, remember?

 

Izzy: (sweatdrop) O-keeey…

 

Sora: Well, I don’t think we need to worry about WHY Maria and Allison are here. I’m just glad they’re here!

 

Topomon: Me, too!

 

Allison: (hugs Topomon) Thanks, bud!

 

Tai: Hey, doesn’t that hurt?

 

Allison: Hm? No, she flattens her thorns. It’s OK.

 

Topomon: (sweatdrop) Otherwise it’s be like hugging a pin-cushion.

 

Agumon: True.

 

Maria: Well, what now? You have your digimon, what are we going to do?

 

Kari: Well, that Dark Triad is still running loose. I think it’s our job to get rid of them.

 

Gatomon: That’s right.

 

Izzy: I think there’s more to it than that.

 

Tentomon: And what would that be?

 

Izzy: I’m curious as to how they got here. What if there’s something out there that got them to the Digi-World and gave them digimon? If we get rid of the Dark Triad, we’ll probably have to face that something else.

 

Tai: Well, whatever happens, we’ll be ready for it!

 

Joe: We’ve defeated the Dark Masters, Venommyotismon, and even Apocylomon!

 

Allison: (raising a fist) Well then, here’s to hoping it’s not any worse than Apocylomon!

 

Topomon: (raising an arm) Yeeeeeeah!!

 

Joe: Um, yeah…
