In a cavern everyone sleeps and Takato wakes up.

Takato: Guilmon, hey boy, wake up.

Guilmon: ...breakfast ready? Just give me one of everything.

Takato: It’s the middle of the night, it’s not eating time.

Guilmon: Aw, can I have breakfast anyway?

They walk out and see Henry and Terriermon.

Guilmon: Please?!

Takato: No it’s our turn to keep watch. Hey Henry, why don’ you go get some sleep, we’ll take over.

Henry: Thanks guys, just make sure the two of you stay awake. Huh? Oh.

He picks up the sleeping Terriermon by the ears.

Terriermon: Does this mean we have to wake up now Henry?

Henry: Dude, you’re makin’ me look bad.

Terriermon: Sorry.

Takato and Guilmon: Good night.

Takato: I’m worried about Rika.

Guilmon: Hm? I bet she and Renamon are having so much fun their faces are all crampy.

Takato: Heh, yeah, I bet you’re right. But where could they be?

In a forest somewhere Rika sleeps against one of side of a tree and Renamon tries to on the other with the Digi-Gnomes floating around them giggling.

Renamon (thinking): Annoying little pests, how can she sleep through all this stupid chatter? I’m starting to sound like Rika, how disturbing.

In the desert Beelzemon rides his bike.

Beelzemon (thinking): Now this is the way I always imagined myself.

Beelzemon: Unfortunately there’s still one problem. I got plenty of power, a brand new mean, lean body and machine, not to mention intelligence and looks. But none of it means anything without havin’ someone to fight. I need a challenge. Alright where is everybody!?

He rides off.

The next day everyone is awake and standing on the cliff.

Takato: Hey Henry I was thinking about Rika.

Henry: Yeah, what’s up?

Takato: Well she knows where the flag is so instead of us aimlessly searching maybe we should just go there and wait for her to come.

Henry: Hm...

Terriermon: Hm...

Guilmon: Hm...

Terriermon: Hm!

Henry: Yeah maybe that is a better plan. I am worried about Calumon, but if we regroup with Rika and Renamon we’ll have a better chance of finding him. Alright it’s settled, let’s go back to the flag.

Terriermon: Original idea.

On the way to the flag.

Kazu: Dude, why are you so quiet today? You’ve usually embarrassed yourself at least time times by now.

Kenta: I should feel worse about Rika missing but I just don’t like her very much.

Kazu: Atta boy, Kenta! Needless guilt. Hey, she is always baggin’ on us cause we don’t have our own digimon.

Jeri: You just haven’t gotten to know her, I like Rika.

Kazu: You’ve got Leomon, of course she’ll talk to you. But anyone without a digimon is slime.

Leomon: Don’t give up just yet.

Kenta: Huh?

Leomon: I have no doubt that your partners will appear eventually.

Kazu: Well I’m glad somebody else believes it besides me. I wonder which partner I’m gonna end up with, maybe Angemon now that would be real power.

Kenta: Right, and I’m gonna be the new Digimon Emperor. There’s no way you’re gonna get Angemon, maybe a Sukamon if you’re lucky.

Kazu: You’d be lucky to get Dorkmon, your majesty!

Jeri: Hey did you really mean that? You think those two goofballs will get digimon partners someday?

Leomon: No, but if I didn’t say something they’d never shut up. This’ll keep them busy for a while. Just my humble attempt to bring a little joy into the lives of some poor, misguided youth.

Jeri laughs.

Kazu: Ooh, I’m injured.

At the flag site.

Takato: Oh no! the flag’s gone!

Jeri: Takato, are you sure this was the place?

Takato: Well...

Henry: Definitely! It was right by these three rock formations.

Kenta: Then, someone took the flag?

Guilmon: Hm?

Kazu: No genius they moved the rocks.

Guilmon sniffs the ground.

Takato: What is it, boy?

He blows a hole in the ground.

Guilmon: Huh? Hey I smell Calumon.

Takato: That means he was here.

Guilmon: Yep and not that long ago.

Terriermon: Now that Calumon’s a real criminal will he be punished with a public flagging?

All: Uh.

Terriermon: What? I thought that was a reasonable question.

Leomon: Despite the heinous criminal allegations, if Calumon was here at least we know he escaped the Devas.

Takato: Hey you’re right and that’s not all, if he did come here to take the flag it must mean that he’s looking for us too. And that makes us one giant leap closer to finding him.

At Riley’s Yamaki watches the news.

Anchorman: West Shinjuku has officially been declared a disaster area. Unstable structures could collapse at any t-

Yamaki: Disgusting.

Riley: Breakfast will be ready in a minute. Would you mind clearing the table off for me, Mr. Boss man?

Yamaki looks out the window.

Yamaki (thinking): It’s like a bad dream. I wonder if there’s anything left at all.

In the Hypnos Building the government people are rebuilding it.

Man: These systems are extremely complex. There’s only one man qualified to run this operation without him there’s no way we can go online again.

Man #2: Don’t worry, we’ll eventually convince him to return, in the mean time I suggest you stay out of my way. While I appreciate your input this has become a matter of national security and it’s my job to get Hypnos working again as soon as possible, with or without Yamaki. Is that clear?

Scientist: Sir we’re ready to go online.

Man #2: Do it!

Scientist: Here we go, key 1 operational! Uh, I hope we’re not making a big mistake.

Scientist #2: Key 2 operational.

Scientist #3: Confirmed, key 3 operational.

Scientist #4: Resonators activated and powering up.

Scientist #3: Data recall access confirmed.

Scientist #2: Going online in 3, 2, 1.

The screen turns on.

Man #2: Yes!

In the Digital World a storm starts.

Kazu: Jeez Kenta! What’d ya eat for lunch?

Kenta: Very funny!

Leomon: Jeri!

Leomon grabs Jeri.

Henry: We have to find some cover, run for it!

Takato: How can I run when I can barely stand?

A data stream comes.

Kazu: I think our ride is here!

Kenta: That thing is gonna suck us up like a giant slushy!

Kazu: Oh man, not again! This whole place is starting to suck.

Guilmon: Takatomon! Over here!

They turn and see Guilmon in a cave.

Takato: Go! Go!!!

The data stream passes and the kids are in the cave.

Henry: Whew! That was close.

Takato: Guilmon you saved us!

Guilmon: Ha ha, yeah.

Leomon: There must be some kind of energy disruption in the Digital World that’s causing these storms, it’s not normal.

Henry: Energy disruption? What could that be from?

Terriermon: Maybe it’s the same thing that’s making Takato’s butt glow.

Takato: Huh?

He sees something in his backpack light up.

Guilmon: Heh, heh that’s his backpack.

Terriermon: Same difference.

He takes out the com device and the screen glows.

Takato: Whoa! The communicator’s working!

Henry: But I thought it was fried!

In Riley’s apartment Yamaki gets an e-mail.

Yamaki: Hm?

He puts his headphones on and goes on the computer.

Riley walks in with food.

Riley: So much for quality time, did you forget about breakfast? Hello? Anybody home?

An e-mail is called up on the computer.

Yamaki: Uh!

Riley: An e-mail, well who’s it from?

Yamaki: Mm, it might be them.

He opens it and there’s a message from Takato saying ‘WE MADE IT! WE’RE ALL FINE!’

Riley: Is that really from Takato Matsuki? They made it, and they’re alright. Well that’s a relief I was beginning to worry about them. Can you even hear me?

Yamaki stares at the screen.

In the Digital World the storm clears.

Kazu: thank goodness that’s over.

They walk out.

Kazu: I’m gonna be ralfin’ up sand for a week!

Henry: Nice image Kazu, thanks.

Takato is in the cave.

Jeri: Hey aren’t you coming?

Takato: In a sec. The power went off as soon as the storm was over. I hope...my e-mail got through all right.

In the forest Rika and Renamon walk with the Digi-Gnomes flying around them giggling.

Rika: Renamon what are these things?

Renamon: They’re called Digi-Gnomes, relax Rika, at least they’re friendly. In fact why don’t we rest here? I’ll go find us something to eat.

Rika: Well maybe you can find some Gnome repellant while you’re at it.

Renamon: Hm, hm.

She disappears.

In the desert Beelzemon rides.

Beelzemon: Huh? Hm, hm, hm, hm, hm.

Beelzemon (thinking): Alright.

He stops his bike, gets off, and walks slowly forward.

Beelzemon snickers.

Beelzemon: Well this isn’t exactly what I had in mind, but I suppose a little target practice couldn’t hurt. Idn’t that right, little Chrysallimon?

The tower of purple dispenses and hundreds of Chrysallimon fly out.

Beelzemon: Ha ha ha ha ha, I’m gonna enjoy hearin’ you scream.

The Chrysallimon fly to him.

Beelzemon: Hm.

He takes out his guns.

Beelzemon: How bout a Double Impact!

He shoots at them and they’re destroyed.

Beelzemon: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

He shoots more bullets and more are destroyed.

Beelzemon: This is way too easy.

He laughs as the Chrysallimon scream and get destroyed.

In the forest Calumon sits against a tree and his red triangle glows.

Calumon: Huh?

In the desert the Chrysallimon’s data regroups and reconfigures itself into a new bigger digimon.

Beelzemon: Interesting, somehow they digivolved into Infermon.

Infermon: Spider Shooter!

One shot sends Beelzemon back a little.

Beelzemon: Aw, now ya hurt my feelings. Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

He puts his guns away.

Beelzemon: Hm, hm. Time to have some real fun.

Infermon flies at Beelzemon and he jumps up and readies his nails.

Beelzemon: Darkness Claw Attack!

He slashes Infermon and Infermon’s deleted.

Beelzemon: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh yeah, come to poppa. I’ve waited so long for this.

He loads the data and laughs.

On the cliff above the dog Deva appears.

Beelzemon: Huh? Caturamon.

Caturamon: Stop wasting time, we kept our promise, now it’s your turn.

Beelzemon: I’m in, let’s get it over with.

In the forest Rika sits against a tree stump with Digi-Gnomes around her.

Rika: I wish she’d hurry up, I’m tired of resting. I wonder if these flying night lights know where to find water.

The Digi-Gnomes smile at each other.

Digi-Gnomes: Ah!

They grab Rika and pull her.

Rika: Hey! What are you doing?

They pull her.

Rika: Slow down! That tickles! Where are you guys taking me? Huh?

They stop in front of a lake that reflects the cherry blossoms in the water.

Rika: Beautiful. She jumps out onto a rock and cups some water in her hands.

Rika: Amazing.

The Digi-Gnomes laugh and turn.

Digi-Gnomes: Huh?

The yell to Rika.

Rika: Huh?

She looks at them and looks to the side and rapids come.

Rika: Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Renamon hears Rika.

Renamon: Hm? Rika!

She jumps away.

The rapids carry Rika downstream.

Rika: Help...me...Renamon!

A thick stick wrapped on a vine is thrown out, Rika grabs it and she’s pulled to the land.

Rika: Thanks...Renamon. Uh!

She sees Calumon next to the vine wrapped around the tree.

Calumon: You sure picked a silly time to go swimming Rika, Rika.

Rika: Calumon!

Calumon: Oh!

They run to each other and Rika grabs Calumon.

Rika: Where have you been? We searched everywhere.

Calumon: I’m not sure I searched everywhere, but I tried.

Renamon: Rika!

Rika: Huh?

They see Renamon running to them with a tidal wave behind her.

Renamon: Hold on!

She grabs them, the tidal wave is right behind them, and they shoot up from a hole in the ground.

Rika and Calumon: Ah!!!!

They start to drop after the water goes down.

Rika: Renamon!

Calumon’s red triangle glows.

D-power: Digivolution.

Renamon: Renamon digivolve to...

Kyubimon: Kyubimon!

They land safely.

Rika: That was pretty impressive. Thanks.

Calumon: What a ride.

Rika: Where are we?

Kyubimon: I believe it’s the same place we were transported from the last time.

In the Hypnos Building.

Scientist: Running the files right now, sir.

Man #1: What?

Man #2: Pick it up from where we left off.

Man #1: It’s bad enough that you started up Hypnos again without him, but how can you even think of re-launching the Juggernaut after what happened?

Man #2: The question is how can we not?

He walks away.

Man #2: But thank you for your opinion.

Man #1 gets a phone call.

Man #1 (thinking): I’ve got to put a stop to this before it’s too late.

In the desert Guilmon smells the ground again.

Guilmon: I smell Calumon.

Takato: You already told us that, boy. Are you getting delirious from hunger?

Guilmon: Well yeah, but I actually meant that he’s on his way here right this minute. And not only that, he’s got Kyubimon with him.

Takato: Are you sure, Guilmon?

He points.

Guilmon: Yeah, here they come!

They look and see Rika riding Kyubimon and the flag on her back.

All: Huh!

Terriermon: You’re right, that nose of your knows all!

Takato: Kyubimon! Rika! And she’s wearing our flag!

Terriermon: Actually she’s wearing Calumon!

They arrive and Calumon flies to Takato.

Calumon: Yay!

Takato: Alright you’re back! Welcome home!

Rika gets off Kyubimon.

Henry: We were worried about you.

Rika: Sorry about that.

Jeri holds the sleeping Calumon.

Guilmon: Poor Calumon, he needs to play.

Jeri: Right now he needs to sleep.

Guilmon: Oh...

Rika: Now that we found him can we get back to the Real World? I’ve had about as much of this place as I can stomach.

Takato: I bet our families are worried sick about us by now.

Henry has the com device.

Takato: Um, just one problem. How are we gonna get back home?

Terriermon: Hey, what cha doin’, Henry?

Henry: I’m tryin’ to send an e-mail to Yamaki. I thought he could help us find a way outta here but this thing doesn’t seem to work unless there’s a storm.

Kazu: Hey dude, why don’t we just ask Ryo? We knows how to get outta here.

Kenta: Yeah, he rocks.

Rika: Please, he doesn’t know.

Kyubimon: Rika, why do you get so bent out of shape when you hear Ryo’s name?

Rika: Ugh, I’d like to bend him out of shape.

On the cliff above stands Beelzemon unnoticed.

Beelzemon: Time for a little payback.

He revs up his bike.

Takato: Hey at least our final moments here are peaceful ones.

Guilmon: I’d rather they be fun ones, can I wake up Calumon now?

All: No!

Beelzemon rides his bike across the canyon and down the wall to be in front of the kids.

All: Whoa!

Leomon: Who are you?

Beelzemon: This is gonna be fun. Hm, hm, hm, hm, hm, hm.

Terriermon: Well at least he’s got a sense of humor. But there’s something oddly familiar about him.

Terriermon glares at Beelzemon.

Terriermon: Hm...

Henry tries to get his data.

Henry: I can’t get any data on this guy. You a Deva that was kicked out of the program?

Beelzemon: I got my own program.

Kyubimon: Huh!

Beelzemon (thinking): And you guys are gonna pay the price to guarantee a success.

Kyubimon: Could it be?

Flashback to Renamon first meeting Impmon on the wire.

Impmon: Hello, fox face.

At Rika’s.

Impmon: Huh? Who are you callin’ weak!?

In the tunnel under the train.

Impmon: It’s just not fair!

To the fight with Indramon.

Impmon: I wanna digivolve!

End flashbacks.

Kyubimon (thinking): It is!

Kyubimon: Impmon!

All: Huh?

Gargomon: I knew it!

Beelzemon: Impmon, hah. That loser doesn’t exist anymore. This is my true form, the name’s Beelzemon!

Kyubimon: Tell me, what did you promise them?

Henry gets his data.

Henry: Beelzemon, mega level, his Double Impact and Darkness Claw Attacks are almost always lethal.

He takes out a gun and points it at Kyubimon.

Beelzemon: Make that always.

Takato and Guilmon: Uh.

Kazu and Kenta: Uh.

Beelzemon: It’s a simple trade, your lives for my life.

In the Hypnos Building.

Scientist: Sir, the Juggernaut program is loaded and ready.

Man #2: Good, run the first test immediately.

In the Digital World.

Guilmon: Impmon’s sure a lot scarier than I remember him.

Kazu: This trade only applies to kids with digimon, right?

Kenta: Mm hm.

Jeri: I knew Impmon had issues, but I never thought he could be so evil.

Calumon: Oh, oh...

Rika: I don’t really care who he is! Digi-Modify! Matrix Digivolution Activate!

D-power: Matrix Digivolution.

Kyubimon: Kyubimon digivolve to...

Taomon: Taomon!

In the Hypnos Building.

Scientist: Juggernaut sequence commencing. Heaven help us.

In the Digital World another storm starts.

All: Whoa!

In Henry’s apartment.

Suzie: Daddy, what’s that?

Janyu: A bad idea.

They see the green vortex over Hypnos again.

Suzie: Oh...

In the Digital World.

Taomon: Talisman Spell!

A barrier forms around them.

Beelzemon: Aw nuts!

He starts to drive away.

Beelzemon: I’ll finish this later!

He rides up the wall.

In the Real World.

Man #2: Good, shut down the test sequence.

Scientist: Sir there’s a problem. The system won’t respond, I can’t stop it.

Man #2: What do you mean?!

Scientist: It’s supposed to automatically shut down after the test. There’s no manual override. It’s completely out of control, sir!

Computer: Non-functioning. Juggernaut engaging now.

Man #2: Don’t...just stand there like potted plants, somebody do something!

The door opens revealing Yamaki and Riley.

Man #1: It’s about time you showed up.

Yamaki: See what happens when I leave you alone? Now let me through so I can clean up this mess.

The second guy turns to the first.

Man #2: This is all your fault.

In the Digital World lightning strikes all around.

In the dust appears Caturamon.

Caturamon: It’s over for you and your humans.

Taomon: No just yet.

Rika gets his data.

Rika: Caturamon, ultimate level, exalted beast digimon. That guy’s a Deva!

Caturamon: Howl of the Heavens!

A sound wave shoots out, destroys the barrier, and the kids fly up.

All: Whoa!

Leomon grabs Jeri.

Leomon: Got cha!

Calumon floats up.

Calumon: Oh!!!!! Help!!!!

Caturamon grabs him and flies away.

Calumon: Oh!

Takato: Calumon!

Taomon: Talisman Spell!

The barrier forms around everyone but Henry, Terriermon, and Takato.

Henry: Ah!!!

They fly into data streams.

Takato: Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Henry and Terriermon: Whoa!!!!!!!!

In Hypnos.

Yamaki: Alright Riley, let’s do this. Shut down resonators 2 and 4.

Riley: I’m in. Got it.

Yamaki: Now, terminate Juggernaut!

Riley: Confirmed, termination complete!

Man #1: Yes!

The sky returns to normal.

In the Digital World the storm ends and the barrier floats and down and disappears.

Kazu and Kenta: Oh.

Guilmon: Takato’s gone...
