Home Again, Takuya Returns
Season 4, Episode 22
Takuya's riding on the Dark Trailmon who offered to take him home. He remembers
Tommy asking him if the plan was going to work, and himself assuring the little
kid that it would. Then Dark Trailmon warps into the real world and Takuya
turns into Flamon. Dark Trailmon dumps Flamon at the station where all the
kids got on the Trailmon to go to the Digital World. Flamon tries to work out
where he is and remembers seeing Tommy being pushed onto a train. Dark Trailmon
leaves and Duskmon appears. Flamon runs away from Duskmon, to a lift. He hammers
on the door until it opens and jumps inside.
On the main platform, a train pulls in and the doors open. The lift comes and
Flamon is sitting on the floor. People are looking at Flamon in shock and they
think he's dressed up or something. Then Flamon sees his hands and realises he's
gone weird. A burst of fire comes out of his mouth and he jumps away to the top
of a train, which is going to his home station.
Flamon is wondering if he's in an alternate universe, when he realises he's in
his home town. He jumps into a tree and Duskmon appears. He runs away to his
home street and is almost run over by a car. There are a boy and a girl in the
car and Flamon recognises them, but they think he's a monster and scream. Flamon
sees his face in the car's window and runs away.
Flamon sits in a tree and presses buttons on his D-Tector, trying to turn himself
back into Takuya. He waits outside the window of his house and is surprised to
see himself coming into the house. He watches as his mother talks on the phone
and Takuya tries to eat Shinya's birthday cake, and realises that he returned
on the same day he left. He flashbacks to his family and starts crying.
As Takuya starts off for the station, Flamon decides that if he never got to
the station in the first place, he wouldn't be in this mess now, and resolves
to stop himself. Takuya retrieves a little kid's soccer ball and almost gets
run over by a truck. Flamon tells him not to go, and pushes him out of the way
of the vehicle.
Duskmon appears yet again and then he disappears. Flamon realises it wasn't real.
At the train station, Takuya is getting his ticket. Flamon tries to head him
off at the lift, but then he sees a boy who looks just like Kouji. Who can it
be? Takuya makes the lift, but the other Kouji doesn't. He runs down to the basement
but trips on the stairs, as Flamon jumps down the elevator shaft. Takuya and
Kouji hear Ophanimon telling them to choose a train, and Kouji runs off. Flamon
flashbacks to when he was fighting with Kouji about battling Duskmon, and then
he has some more flashbacks about when he first met the other Digidestined and
saw them on the train. He remembers Bokomon saying that the legendary warriors
must stop Cherubimon, and his fight with Kouji again. He flashbacks to Duskmon
defeating all his friends, and then going crazy when Kouji was mentioned. Flamon
decides he can't stop himself. He wouldn't be the same person.
Flamon imagines Shinya's birthday celebration and the trains start pulling out
of the station. He realises he can't leave his friends, and urges Takuya to go.
Takuya runs to catch a train.
Duskmon appears for the last time, and Flamon asserts that he won't run away,
that the other kids need him. He bursts into flame and punches Duskmon in the
face. Dark Trailmon returns and Flamon asks him to take him back to the Digital
World. Dark Trailmon tells Flamon that he can't turn around, and Flamon agrees.
He sees his family in his head and says goodbye to them. Then he turns back into
Agunimon and returns to the Digital World.
