At the flag the wind blows.

Rika: Well this is just great. How much longer do we have to wait before something happens?

Kenta: I wonder where they are, not that I know where we are.

Kazu: So much for your idea that we’d find them if we just waited here.

Kenta: I said we might find them here, might, might!

Kazu: Might, might! The only thing I’ve found is sand in my underwear.

He throws a rock and gets up.

Kazu: I might as well be wearing sandpaper shorts.

The wind blows the other way.

Kazu: Oh gee, that’s new, the wind is blowing.

Kenta: Oh.

Rika: Alright, I’m looking around.

Kazu: What? Where are ya gonna go? What if Takato and them come by, we’ll have to go out looking for you then, won’t we?

Rika: Hm...

Kazu: Well?

Rika: Alright, so it’s not a perfect plan, but I don’t see you coming up with anything better.

Kenta: But, we came up with the sitting still idea.

Rika: Yeah, that’s been working’ like a charm so far. Look, just stay here and sit on your brains until I get back, okay?

Kazu: Hm! Yeah well, we will!

She leaves.

Rika: Yeah well good.

Renamon: That’s sure putting her in her place, make sure you don’t leave in case the others come by.

Renamon follows.

Kazu: Hey, did you see how they looked at each other like they were talking without really speaking?

Kenta: You’re paranoid.

Kazu: Only cause everyone’s against me!

Kenta: I’m not against you!

Kazu: You’re not helping either!

On the search for Rika, Kazu, and Kenta.

Takato: Feels like we’ve been walking for days.

Guilmon sniffs the air.

Guilmon: Smells like it too. Whew.

Henry: I just wish we had a better idea of where to start looking for Rika and the others.

Terriermon: Moumantai!

He jumps off Henry’s head.

Terriermon: If we’re meant to find them we will, right?

He twirls on his fingers.

Takato: Heh, heh, heh.

Jeri: I sure hope that Rika and the others are all right, though.

Leomon: They could be anywhere, those streams of data send you to a different place every time.

Jeri: Yeah, but it only matters if they’re safe.

Takato: And even if we were with them they still might not be safe cause we attract trouble like a magnet.

Terriermon: Hey! Relax already! Maybe they’re waiting back by Takato’s goofy flag.

Jeri: Yeah, maybe they are.

Takato: Terriermon’s right. Let’s go take a look.

On Rika’s search.

Rika: Is there anything but sand and wind in this stupid world?

Renamon: Rocks.

Rika: Helpful as always, Renamon. Remind me to get you a stand up comedian upgrade card when we get home.

Renamon: Let’s go.

Rika: Stupid sandy wind! Blech!

At the flag.

Takato: Shoot they’re not here.

Guilmon: Not unless they’re playing hide and seek reeeaaaaallllllly well.

Henry: This is ridiculous! We’ll never find ‘em like this. We should split up and go looking for them.

Jeri: I don’t know, then we’d all be lost.

Terriermon gets blown off Henry.

Terriermon: Whoa!

Henry: Well we’ve got to do something, instead of just wandering around and hoping we run into them.

Jeri: It does seem kind of pointless. If only we had some clues.

Guilmon falls back and sniffs the air.

Takato: What is it, boy?

Guilmon walks like a crab.

Guilmon: Hm, I smell Renamon!

Takato: You do?!

Guilmon: And she was here just a little while ago.

He sniffs the sir again.

Guilmon: I think she went over there. Yeah.

He points.

Takato: What is? And I thought Guilmon was weird, look.

Henry: Huh?

He looks over and sees Terriermon trying to walk in the heavy wind.

Guilmon: I think Terriermon is practicing to be a mime.

Henry: It’d never work, he’d have to be quiet to be a mime!

At a village with cubes all over.

Kazu: You can’t eat sand!

Kenta: What about a sandwich?

Rika: You’ve got to be kidding me.

Renamon: What?

Rika: Wasn’t that Kazu’s voice?

Renamon: Hm, it could’ve been.

Rika: What part of ‘stay here’ didn’t they understand?

She turns around and sees Kazu and Kenta walking to them.

Kenta: I told you we should’ve gone the other direction.

Kazu: No, I said we should go the other direction.

Rika: Ugh.

Kenta: Well why’d you listen to me? You never listen to me.

Rika: I have never met two more useless guys.

Renamon turns around.

Kazu: I’m not gonna carry you!

Rika: Even the Devas were more helpful.

The wind stops blowing and they see Rika and Renamon.

Kazu: Hey, we thought we’d come and help you.

Rika: Uh.

She turns.

Rika: Mm, I thought I told you to wait by the flag.

Kenta: Yeah, but right after you left we kinda got to thinkin’ that you might need our help if you ran into trouble or something. Heh, heh.

Rika: Why would I? Oh, didn’t you guys think?! Oh! Forget it! Let’s just go back!

Kazu: Oh...so soon?

Rika: Takato and the others may have come back to where the flag is.

Kenta: That would be just awesome!

Rika: Uh, useless.

Renamon: Rika, another data stream is coming!

They see a data stream far away.

Rika: You’re right, we’d better get out of here quick before it carries us off to who knows where. Come on, let’s go.

She and Renamon turn and run.

Kazu: Hey what’s the rush?

Kenta: Yeah we’ve got plenty of time. It’s miles away.

Rika: Huh?

The data stream changes direction and goes straight for them.

Kenta and Kazu: Whoa!

Rika: Whoa!

They get sucked up.

Rika: Miles, huh?

Kenta: Maybe less.

They get transported to a world of clocks.

All: Uh!

Kenta: That’s about as much fun as a kick in the head.

He picks up his glasses.

Kenta: Now I know what a pretzel feels like.

Kazu: Where are we anyway?

He puts on his glasses.

Kenta: Inside some weird giant clock?

Renamon: Regardless we’re not any closer to finding the others and it doesn’t look there’s any easy way out of here.

Kenta: Maybe it’s a grandfather clock and if we find the grandfather he’ll take us out.

Rika: Oh...

Kazu: Don’t be ridiculous, it’s a giant’s wristwatch.

Rika: Oh....oh...

Kenta: I’m ridiculous now?

Kazu: Face it, you were always ridiculous.

Rika: Quiet!

Kazu and Kenta: Huh?

Renamon: Huh?

Rika: I’m so sick and tired of your awful suggestions! Have either of you ever had a good idea?!

Both: Uh...

Kenta: Well...once.

Rika: The two most useless people alive and I’m the babysitter stuck putting everything back together when you mess it up! Why’d it have to be me?!

Kazu: Hey you think this is all fun and games for us? You think we enjoy your snotty attitude and talkin’ behind our backs?

Rika: Hm!

Renamon: Hm!

They hear a ticking.

Kazu: What is that ticking?

Kenta: I don’t know, maybe this really is a clock.

Rika: Maybe it’s a bomb, but I guess you can handle that yourself.

Kenta: Well if you wanted to help you could.

Renamon: If we have to.

Rika: Mm hm.

They walk to the ticking source.

Kenta: Hey look, it is a clock.

Kazu: Yeah and not a very good one.

The clock’s hour hand is stopped and the minute hand is going crazy while the second hand is stuck at 59 and 60.

Kazu: That’s how the clock always looks to me in math class.

Kenta: I think the second hand’s just stuck.

Kazu: Should we unstick it?

Rika: Might as well, otherwise this ticking is gonna drive me crazy.

Digimon: No, stop!

Rika: Huh?

She fixes the clock and it gongs.

Little digimon: Oh the horribiminable. what have you done?

Kenta: Fixed it.

Little digimon: Oh tragedness.

Kazu: Okay, who the heck are these guys?

Rika gets their data.

Rika: The tall one’s Clockmon, champion level, special attack Tempest Fugit. The other guy is Hagurumon, rookie level, special attack Cog Crusher.

Kazu: Clockmon?

Kenta: Hagurumon?

Clockmon: This is not gonna be good!

Hagurumon: Get ready, here it comes!

Nothing happens.

Clockmon: Well maybe not.

The bird in the clock pokes in and out.

They all gulp.

The ground shakes.

Kenta: What’s goin’ on?!

Renamon: Uh...

Kenta: Is it an earthquake?

Kazu: uh, we’ll never make it home.

All the floating gears stop moving.

Kazu: Oh well that wasn’t so bad, now was it?

Rika: All the gears stopped, what’s happening?

Hagurumon: When the gears are moving everything’s super perfectional, but when they aren’t.

The ground shakes again and under a pile of gears and sand emerges a giant digimon, who gets his claws out, puts them on the ground and pushes himself up, spreading his wings.

Kazu: Good gravy!

The dragon digimon growls.

Rika gets his data.

Rika: Megadramon, a virus dragon digimon, uh-oh, he’s ultimate level. Special attacks are Parry Force and Dark Side Attack. He looks tough.

Megadramon looks at Rika.

Rika: Uh!

She holds her D-power to her chest.

Kazu: Why’s he lookin’ at Rika?

Kenta: That can’t be good.

Renamon: I must protect my tamer!

Hagurumon: A tamer! Wow!

Clockmon: You’re kidding?! That means she’s been to the Real World before! Oh what I wouldn’t give to have the chance to see that world, it would be fabulous, it would be wonderful! Well it’d be okay, I guess.

Hagurumon: You’ve been there? Really and truthfullinganessly?

Renamon: I have.

Hagurumon: Most magnifirent. It’s said that if you load the data of a digimon who has a tamer, you’ll gain the power to go to the Real World.

Clockmon: That’s why Megadramon’s interested in your tamer, he’s a scoundrel! He’s a beast! Oh he’s not all bad, I guess.

Renamon: That’s absurd, it takes more than just data to get to the Real World.

Rika: Uh! He’ll never load your data, Renamon! You’re a way better fighter than him! Now sick him!

Renamon: As you wish.

Megadramon and Renamon advance on each other.

Hagurumon: Oh, most frightenist!

Renamon dodges his arm and goes for his shoulder but knocks her away with his head.

Rika: Uh! No! Digi-Modify! Digivolution Activate!

D-power: Digivolution.

Renamon: Renamon digivolve to...

Kyubimon: Kyubimon!

She runs in.

Clockmon: Wow a digivolution is amazing, it’s incredible! Eh it’s okay, I guess.

Hagurumon: I’ve never seen it before.

Kyubimon keeps going.

Hagurumon: I want to digivolve like that too.

Kyubimon: Fox Tail Inferno!

Megadramon: Parry Force!

He flaps his wings and blow the fire back.

Rika: No! look out!

The fire lands all around her and one hits Hagurumon knocking out a gear.

Hagurumon: My best gear!

Clockmon: You’re injured and dazed! Ah you’re okay.

Megadramon flies in.

Kazu: Jeez Louise!

Kyubimon: Dragon Wheel!

The fire follows him.

Megadramon: Dark Side Attack!

Tons of missiles shoot from his armor and hit the fire dragon with Kyubimon in it.

Kyubimon: Uh!

Rika: Kyubimon!

She falls.

Rika: No!

She runs to her and Megadramon flies down.

A new dragon digimon flies in and damages Megadramon.

Rika: Huh!

The dragon digimon flies next to Megadramon’s face and Megadramon’s face is scratched.

Kazu: Who the heck is that guy?!

Kenta: He rocks!

Rika gets his data.

Rika: Cyberdramon, another ultimate! Special attack Desolation Claw!

Kenta: Well he’d better use it soon.

Cyberdramon lands and Megadramon flies in laughing.

Cyberdramon turns.

Cyberdramon: Good try, but not good enough!

Megadramon swoops in and Cyberdramon jumps up and scratches Megadramon to the ground.

Megadramon gets up.

Cyberdramon: Desolation Claw!

His hands light up and he scratches at the air and makes a ball of black-green energy that he shoots at Megadramon.

Kazu and Kenta: Whoa!

Megadramon sinks into the sand.

Boy: Cyberdramon! Back off!

Kenta: What?

They turn and see a boy.

Boy: That’s not the opponent we’re looking for!

Kazu: Who’s that?

Kenta: Yeah and who’s he lookin’ for?

The wind blows his clothes.

Hagurumon: It’s Ryo! Our protecterly guy!

Rika: Uh!

Rika (thinking): It’s him! I can’t believe he’s here.

Ryo: Cyberdramon, what’d I say?

Cyberdramon: Rah! Desolation Claw!

Ryo: So, it’s to be the hard way, is it?

He walks over.

Rika: Uh, huh?

Kenta: What’s he gonna do?

Kazu: I don’t know, but I’m gonna stick around to find out.

He takes out his D-power, same color as Rika’s but the ring and outside colors are inverted, from his pocket.

Kenta: Huh.

Kazu: Whoa.

Ryo: Cyberdramon, obey!

He tosses a light whip at I grabs Cyberdramon’s arm.

Ryo: Stop it! You will obey me Cyberdramon!

Cyberdramon stops and lets Megadramon sink.

Ryo: Oh finally.

The whip disappears and Rika and Kyubimon walk over.

Rika (thinking): He doesn’t even remember me!

Ryo wipes his forehead.

Ryo: Whew!

He turns to Rika and Kyubimon.

Ryo: Huh? That was a close one.

Rika: Uh.

Ryo: The name’s Ryo, nice to meet cha.

He takes her hand and shakes it.

Ryo: Huh, doesn’t speak much, does she? Hello?

Rika: Ugh! I’m Rika and this is Kyubimon.

Ryo: You’re lucky he didn’t hurt you.

Rika: Hm?

Ryo: You have to be careful around here, you know. Some digimon believe the data from a digimon with a tamer will get them into the Real World.

Kyubimon: Yes, I-

Rika: Yeah, we already knew that.

Ryo: Oh, uh sorry. Just tryin’ to give you guys some help.

Clockmon: Ryo! Hagurumon’s not moving!

Ryo: Well let’s see what we can do to help. Oh, it seems you’re missing the gear. Here ya go.

He puts the gear in.

Hagurumon: Magnifirent!

Ryo: Hey no problem, I’m happy to help out when I can.

Rika: Ugh! Can you believe this guy?

Ryo: There’s still one little problem that hasn’t been solved.

Clockmon: Oh no! it’ll be the end of us! It’ll be tragic! Eh I guess it won’t be that bad.

Ryo: Ha ha, don’t worry, I’m on top of it.

He walks to the clock Rika ‘fixed’, takes out a pocket knife and stabs into the clock, fixing it and making all the gears turn again.

Clockmon: He did it! We’re saved! Oh I guess it wasn’t that big a deal after all.

Ryo: Great, everything’s set.

Hagurumon: Thanks Ryo.

Ryo: Please I’m glad to do it.

Rika: Ugh!

Ryo: Let me know if you need anything else.

Hagurumon: Okay.

Clockmon: Thanks Ryo, we will.

Ryo: Um, was there something else, guys?

Hagurumon: Ryo, do you think that maybe someday I’ll be able to go to the Real World?

Ryo: Sure, just keep dreaming and you can make anything happen.

Hagurumon: And, and maybe I’ll get a tamer like you?

Ryo: You bet, buddy. Of course you will.

Hagurumon: Oh most outstandish! I’m gonna work out, eat a lot, and oil my gears everyday.

Ryo: And I’ll see you in the Real World.

They turn to Cyberdramon.

Hagurumon: You’re tamer’s the bestingist.

They leave.

Ryo: See ya later, guys.

Hagurumon: I think Ryo likes me.

Clockmon: He loves you! He adores you! But I think he likes me best.

Hagurumon: Oh you’re just jealouseasonal.

Rika: What’s with this guy? Stupid perfect hairdo, stupid perfect teeth, always knowing just the perfect thing to say even though he’s probably lying. He really bugs me.

Kazu and Kenta: You think it is?

Kenta: Um, Mr. Ryo, sir?

Ryo: Guys, you can just can me Ryo.

Kazu and Kenta: We can call him Ryo!

Kazu: Ryo Akiyama?

Ryo: Um, yeah.

Kazu and Kenta: Yeah!

Ryo: Uh, what’s wrong?

Rika: Hm...

Kazu and Kenta bounce up and down happily.

Kazu: Wait till the guys back home hear that we fought alongside Ryo Akiyama! He’s won every digimon tournament there ever was! We’re gonna be the most popular kids in school!

Kenta: I can’t believe it’s Ryo Akiyama! He’s the most famous tamer ever! It’s totally amazing!

Ryo: Hey, it’s nice to meet you too. I haven’t seen any other kids since I came to the Digital World, it gets kinda lonely.

Kazu: Well, you’ll have plenty of company now, cause it’s not just us our friends are here, somewhere in this world, too.

At the village of cubes.

Terriermon: Unless you were following the smell of big blocks of stone, you really messed up.

Guilmon: I can’t help it, the smell disappears here.

Takato: Great, how are we ever gonna find them?

Henry: They probably got sucked up by another data stream.

Jeri: Maybe they’re exploring that cave, it wouldn’t hurt to look, right?

Terriermon: It might.

Takato: Let’s go.

Inside.

Jeri: Sure is creepy.

Terriermon: It’s not creepy, it’s really, really frightening.

Leomon: Smell anything, Guilmon?

Guilmon: Lots of stuff, oh you mean Renamon? Ha, no.

They stop in front of a huge hollow block.

Jeri: What is that?

Guilmon: Beats me!

He sniffs the inside.

Guilmon: Check it out.

They walk over.

Jeri: Is it dangerous, Guilmon?

Guilmon: No, I think it’s okay.

Jeri: This even stone?

Henry: I don’t know, what do you mean?

Jeri: It’s so smooth.

Henry: Yeah.

Takato: Hey Jeri, I’m really sorry about draggin’ you into all of this?

Jeri: Are you kidding me? This is so great, I’m Leomon’s tamer!

Takato: Hm, hm, hm, hm, hm.

Henry and Terriermon shake the cube.

Takato: Huh?

Henry: Guys, would you knock it off? We really shouldn’t mess with this until we figure out what it is.

Guilmon and Terriermon: Oh...

Jeri: Hey, that looks like fun!

Jeri and Takato and get in.

Takato: Yeah.

Jeri: Come on Leomon, don’t be shy.

Leomon: Huh? I’m not.

He gets in.

Henry: Hey this kinda feels like bein’ in an elevator, doesn’t it?

All: Elevator?

The cube shrinks.

All: Ah!

Takato: Whew, that’s over.

It expands.

All: Ah!

It goes into a hole in the back through a world of waterslides.

Over the desert flies Makuramon on the giant dragon, looking for Calumon.

Makuramon: Faster! Faster! When we find what the Sovereign seeks you and I will be rewarded beyond our wildest dream and severely punished if we do not. Maka!

At the flag Calumon runs to it.

Calumon: It’s Takato’s goofy flag! Oh! Uh they must be nearby!

He looks at it.

Calumon: oh, they sure captured Rika’s scowl, uh then again I don’t think I’ve seen her any other way.

The wind blows the other way.

Calumon: Maybe I can make her look happier.

He jumps up and tries to take the flag off.

Calumon: Oh, ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh!

He falls.

Calumon: I guess the wind wants her to stay all scowly. Hey! I can use this to show other digimon what my friends look like! Oh! Try to stop me now wind!

He pulls the flag out.

Back in the clock world, it’s nighttime and they’re surrounding a fire.

Ryo: Well I hope you find your friends soon.

Kenta: Yeah me too, but first we have to find us. We keep getting lost.

Ryo laughs.

Kazu: So, how long have you been here anyway, Ryo?

Ryo: I don’t know, what month is it?

Kenta: October.

Ryo: Wow, I didn’t realize I’d been here so long.

Kazu: It must be so cool to be on your own. No chores or homework, I’d be in heaven!

Kenta: Why, you always make me do all your chores and homework anyway.

Kazu: Don’t embarrass me in front of the Ryo man.

Ryo: It does get lonely though.

Kenta: Well why’d you come here, Ryo?

Ryo: Cause of this guy, he’s hard to control. He’s not really the kind of digimon you’d take to like a birthday party, unless you want him to smash the cake, break all the presents and burn down the house. But someone’s gotta keep him in line.

Kazu and Kenta: Cool.

Ryo: Yeah.

Kazu: It’s like summer camp, but instead of learning arts and crafts you learn buttkickology.

Rika: What’s the big deal? So some stupid kid fell into the Digital World and can’t get out, who cares? I bet he wants to go home to his mommy, but he can’t figure it out. Some hero.

Kazu and Kenta: Rika!

Kazu: Young lady, I am not about to stand by and let you badmouth the coolest guy in two worlds.

Rika: What are you gonna do about it?

Kazu: Oh, well I, I just, Ryo?

Kenta: Sit down.

Kazu: Don’t listen to her, Ryo. She’s just upset cause you beat her in that digimon tournament.

Ryo: What?

Kazu: Yeah, you blew away the Digimon Queen!

Rika: I don’t know what you’re talking about. You make it sound like I’m weaker than him, which I’m not!

Kazu: Come on! You’re just upset with Ryo because you came in second, but it’s not his fault you played badly!

Kenta: Kazu.

Rika: Oh what do you know, you didn’t even make it past the third round of that tournament! You talk big, but you wouldn’t even know what to do with a digimon even if you could get one which you can’t!!!

Ryo: Kay, relax. I do remember you.

Rika: Well, gee thanks. That means so much to me, oh great one.

Ryo: Mm...you were good.

Rika: Still am!

Kazu: Aren’t you forgetting something? He did save Kyubimon today, you know, we would’ve been in serious trouble without him.

Rika: Well I don’t remember asking for hero boy’s help!

Ryo: Listen, it just looked like you were in trouble so I-

Rika: Yeah, well I wasn’t.

Ryo: So I take it you guys don’t know how to get outta here, huh?

Kazu and Kenta: No.

Kazu: Kenta doesn’t really know much of anything.

Kenta: Hey, cheap shot.

Kazu: Ya notice he doesn’t deny it?

Ryo: I can get ya home, but you have to go through another dimension first.

Kenta: We have to find our other friends.

Ryo: No problem, I can help with that too. It’s nice to meet new people, make new friends, well sometimes.

Rika: Hm!

Kazu: We get to travel with the Ryo Akiyama, isn’t that awesome Kenta?!

Kenta: Yeah, uh is that okay with you, Rika?

Rika: I don’t see why we need this guy at all.

Kazu: What?

Rika: How do we know there’s no direct way to the Real World?

She gets up and looks at earth.

Rika: I bet there is and he just doesn’t even know it.

She walks away.

Ryo: Why would I lie about that?

Rika: I don’t know, but I’m not stickin’ around to find out. Kyubimon.

Kyubimon gets up and follows.

Ryo: Uh. What’d I do to get her so upset?

Kazu: Who knows, she’s weird, always callin’ us stupid and stuff cause she thinks she’s better than us.

Kenta: You’re always calling me stupid.

Kazu: Um that’s different.

Kenta: Right. Is she gonna be okay?

Ryo: It’s tough to say, there’s a lot of dangerous stuff out there, one misstep...and she’s in trouble.
