Digimon: Deep in the land of the Four Digimon Sovereign there was once a shining light, this light gave digimon the ability to digivolve and become greater and more powerful than ever before. Then, one day that light disappeared until...

Calumon falls into the center of the four areas for the Sovereigns.

Calumon: Oh!

The cage carrying Calumon breaks and he falls into s giant tube with cushioning at the bottom.

Calumon: Oh...hey! What’s the big idea?

He tries to jump out but theirs an invisible barrier blocking him.

Calumon: Oh!

He tries again.

Calumon: Oh!

He sees a 3D red triangle spinning outside of the container.

Calumon: What’s that funny looking thing? It’s too big to be an ice pop.

He flies over as close as he can.

Calumon: Ooh, it’s pretty. Oh....oh? And it looks real...familiar!

He flies back scared.

Calumon: It feels like I’ve been here before. A long time ago.

He shakes his head.

Calumon: I’ve gotta get outta here! Okay Calumon, time to get tough. I’m a digimon maybe I have some special attack too. Harry Glowing Blistery Ball! Big Noogie-Poke-You-In-The Eye Power Beam! Aw nuts...guess this means I’m stuck here for good, unless...

He looks up.

Calumon: Someone rescues me. Oh...

In the desert part of the Digital World.

Kenta: Hey, who wants to hear another knock-knock joke?

No one answers.

Kenta: Uh, guys? Hm, I’m so bored. Can’t we head home already?

Kazu: Hey knock-knock boy! We haven’t found Calumon or Takato and you’re yappin’ about home? What do you miss your mommy?

Kenta: No, all I’m saying is we’ve been here for days and we haven’t...found diddly squat.

Kazu hangs his head upset along with Kenta.

Kazu: Hm.

Growlmon: Hey Kenta, what’s a diddly squat?

Kenta: Never mind, but thanks for the piggy back ride.

Growlmon: No problemo, that’s Spanish for no problem. I think.

Leomon laughs a little.

Leomon: Jeri, how are you holding up?

Jeri: Oh, I’m just peachy. What about you, Kyubimon?

Kyubimon: I’m fine.

Rika: We’re all fine, but we’d be better if we knew where Takato was.

At the Land of the Sovereign.

Suzie: Who wants to hear another rhyme? I do! I do!

She grabs Terriermon and Lopmon’s ears.

Suzie: 1, 2, 3, 4 who’s the bunny I adore? 5, 6, 7, 8 my new bunny smells like cake!

Henry: Hm, I can’t believe Suzie’s here. It’s not safe for her and my parents, they’re probably climbin’ the walls by now.

Takato: Don’t worry, after we find Calumon and the others we’ll get her back pronto.

Digi-gnomes fly around them.

Takato: Hey, well look who’s here! What’s up, guys?

Henry: It’s the digi-gnomes, if they were digimon maybe we could understand them.

A digi-gnome starts talking to Takato.

Takato: Sorry fella, I don’t speak gnome.

Suzie: Oh look, the fireflies are back.

Henry: They must be trying to tell us something. If the digi-gnomes are the ones who brought the blue cards to the Real World there had to be a reason for it, something thy want us to do.

Takato: Yeah, like what?

Henry: I don’t know, but I have a funny feeling it’s important.

Takato and Henry: Huh?

They see them fly towards the center.

Takato: Maybe they know something about Guilmon! Huh, wait up! Hey I have some questions about my digimon! Come back!

They disappear.

Henry: Huh, hey Lopmon.

Lopmon: Yes, Henry?

Henry: Do you know a digimon named Calumon? Uh here.

Takato shows Lopmon the drawing.

Henry: This little guy.

Lopmon: Well of course I know who he is, he’s the one who holds the key to digivolution. The Sovereign need this power to protect our world from those who want to destroy it. That’s why they created us Devas out of data of digimon that are now gone. To help them on their quest.

Suzie: Lopmon, you talking funny, I don’t understand.

Henry: She’s trying to say that she was created by the Digimon Sovereign, Suzy.

Suzie: Hm.

Takato: Uh, Lopmon, do you have any idea where Calumon’s being held?

Lopmon: Yes I do.

Flashback to Calumon floating over a walkway.

Lopmon: I saw him being taken across the Phoenix Gate one day.

Calumon is depressed as he’s floating in the cage.

End flashback.

Henry: The Phoenix Gate?

Lopmon: That is where the Digimon Sovereign Zhuqiaomon lives, it’s just beyond the South Gate I used to guard.

Henry: Hm. Wow, the Land of the Digimon Sovereign. We made it.

Takato: Well if we know where Calumon is then...let’s get him!

Henry: No!

Takato: Huh? But why? What’s the matter?

Terriermon: Moumantai! I know you’re worried about Suzie, but she is a tamer you know.

Suzie: Yeah!

She pulls out her D-power and Lopmon runs over to the gate.

Lopmon: Hold it right there! We’re not going anywhere!

Takato: What now?

In the container where Calumon is fire burns all around the outside of it and Calumon is scared by it.

Zhuqiaomon: Keep of the Light, you must know you’re not a digimon like the others. You have a power inside you, a power we need.

Calumon: There’s no way I’m giving you my insides! And I am too a digimon.

Zhuqiaomon: Once you were the light that gave us the power to digivolve you must give us that light again, resistance is useless. You cannot escape your destiny or this cage.

He leaves.

Calumon: Oh...

At the South Gate.

Lopmon: Please you’re mad to try and face the Sovereign and I can’t help you.

Henry: Your Deva powers are gone, but you can still fight.

Lopmon: The Sovereign made me and they can destroy me just as easily.

Suzie walks over to Lopmon.

Suzie: No Lopmon.

Lopmon: Suzy, you don’t understand. I’ve changed, I don’t wanna fight or hurt anyone.

Suzie: Course you don’t, nice bunny.

Terriermon: Okay, but what now? Calumon’s not gonna rescue himself.

A big, loud thunder sound happens.

Takato: Aw nuts! What’s that!

Henry: I don’t know, but something tells me it’s not good.

The sky urns fiery red.

Caturamon: The time has come for me to do my master’s will!

Back in the desert area.

Growlmon: Um, Leomon, do you know how you became Jeri’s partner?

Leomon: Well how did you become Takato’s?

Growlmon: Gee I’m not really sure, one day he thought me up and poof, I was there. It feels like we’ve always been together, like sausages and sauerkraut.

Leomon: Oh I see, what about you Kyubimon?

Kyubimon: It was no accident, I wanted the strongest tamer so I could digivolve, no one but the best. The choice was clear, it had to be Rika.

Rika: Got that right.

Kyubimon: It’s strange, I don’t know exactly how I came to the Real World. All I know is we were suddenly together and that’s all that mattered.

Jeri turns and looks at Leomon then turns back.

Jeri: But I’m not strong at all, especially for a tamer, I’m sorry you have to be stuck with me, Leomon.

Leomon: Jeri.

Jeri: Huh?

Leomon: You have the true heart of a lion. That’s all you need, it’s not strength or power that makes a good partner it’s heart. Besides, there’s no one else I’d rather be with.

Jeri: Uh...Leomon, thank you.

Growlmon: Leomon, you’re so smart and so strong. How’d you get to be like that anyway?

Leomon: I don’t know about smart but I’m strong because I fought all my life, like most digimon I thought it was the only way.

Growlmon: Maybe I can be like you if I spend my whole life fighting too.

Leomon: Fighting isn’t everything, you have your own destiny.

Growlmon: Yeah I guess, I’ll ask Takato he’ll know. Oh I miss him, where could he be?

At the South Gate.

Takato: Look Henry, I know you don’t wanna leave Suzy, so why don’t you just stay with her and I’ll go? And Terriermon can come with me, if that’s okay with you.

Terriermon: Aw come on, how bout it Henry?

Henry: Well, okay, but I’m not sure it’s a good idea.

Takato: Not to worry, if it gets hairy we’ll scedaddle right back. I’m not crazy, I don’t wanna pick a fight with anyone powerful enough to create those Devas, but if Lopmon’s right and the Digimon Sovereign only wanna protect this world maybe I can just talk to them.

Henry: What if, huh?

An explosion occurs behind Takato and they all shield themselves from it.

Suzie and Lopmon: Ah!

Takato: What was that?!

They turn and see Beelzemon.

Beelzemon: Hello kiddies!

Takato: Beelzemon!

Beelzemon: You’re not with your friends now, are ya punks? Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to annihilate them later.

He pulls out his guns.

Takato: Why are you doing this? What did we ever do to you?

Beelzemon: It’s nothing personal, it’s just business. And I’m a business man.

Terriermon: Henry!

Henry: Right! Digi-Modify! Matrix Digivolution Activate!

Terriermon: Terriermon digivolve to...

Gargomon: Gargomon! Gargomon matrix digivolve to...

Rapidmon: Rapidmon!

He lands right in front of Beelzemon.

Beelzemon: Ha! I’ve eaten bigger digimon for breakfast!

Rapidmon: Is that supposed to impress me?

He jumps up.

Rapidmon: Rapid Fire!

The attacks hit dead on, but Beelzemon doesn’t have a scratch on him.

Beelzemon: No, but you know what? I bet this will.

Rapidmon: Huh?

Beelzemon: Double Impact!

He shoots his guns and they send him flying.

Henry: Rapidmon, no!

Suzie: Tewwiermon!

Rapidmon crashes to the ground.

Takato: I feel...totally useless. Guilmon, Guilmon where are you?

Beelzemon laughs at them.

Beelzemon: Is that all you got? That’s pathetic!

Takato: Guilmon!

In the desert, Growlmon hears Takato’s call.

Growlmon: Huh?

Kazu: Hey Growlmon, what’s going on?

Growlmon: It’s Takato, I can hear him.

All: Huh?

Jeri: I think I heard him too.

All: Huh?

Kenta: Are you sure? I didn’t hear anything.

He listens.

Takato (far away): Guilmon!

Leomon growls as a data stream approaches.

Kazu: Data stream 12 o’clock! We gotta scram!

Jeri: Isn’t Takato’s voice coming from there?

Kyubimon: You‘re right, well, you know what this means?

Kenta: No, and please don’t tell me.

Growlmon: I’m coming Takato.

Kazu: Hold on a minute, you’re not actually thinking of going in there are you? Don’t we usually run away from the nasty data stream?

Growlmon: I’m going, Takato’s calling me.

Leomon: We’d better make up our minds quickly.

Rika: Right, I say we go, anything’s better than schlepping around in the sand. What do ya say?

Kyubimon: That’s so like you.

Rika: I can’t be anyone else.

Growlmon: Guardromon, you’d better grab on.

Guardromon: Oh, good idea.

He climbs on Growlmon’s tail.

Guardromon: Ready.

Growlmon: Okay everybody, hold on tight.

Kazu: Come on Kenta, don’t tell me you’re scared.

Kenta: Uh...okay, I won’t.

Leomon reaches for Jeri.

Leomon: Jeri.

Jeri climbs on.

Rika: Here it comes! On your marks! Get set!

Kyubimon: Hm.

Kenta: Not again.

They all get sucked up.

All: Whoa!

As they leave that area of it Caturamon’s shadow appears.

Caturamon: Soon those foolish children will be gathered in one place to meet one fate. The fate of all who dare defy The Digimon Sovereign.

At the South Gate Suzie starts to cry and Henry tries to comfort her.

Henry: Oh, Suzie.

Lopmon: Oh.

Henry looks angrily towards Beelzemon who’s laughing at them.

Henry: Rapidmon! Talk to me! Are you okay?!

Rapidmon: Henry, he’s too strong.

Beelzemon: No kidding? Compared to me you guys are the amateur hour, you know that? Pathetic humans and your digi-pets you make me wanna throw up, kick your butts, and then throw up again!

Takato: Wait a minute! You’re Impmon, remember?

Beelzemon: Hm?

Takato: You went to camp with us, and played in the water with us, we even saved your life once, you’re our friend!

Beelzemon: Impmon...is nothing but a bad memory!

He points the gun and the data stream falls right nest to Takato and the others while the stream is so bright they have to shield their eyes.

Takato: Huh?

The stream disappears to reveal the rest of the gang.

Takato: You found us!

Rika gets off Kyubimon.

Rika: Finally, where have you guys been?

Growlmon: Takato, I missed you so much.

Takato: Me too.

He has a flashback to when they were in Shibumi’s library with the old data turning into Guilmon.

Takato (thinking): But what if...what if I lose him again? If Mizuno’s right, he’s just data.

Growlmon: What’s the matter, Takato?

Takato (thinking): And data could just be...erased.

Kyubimon: Beelzemon there’s still time!

Beelzemon: Can it!

Takato: Huh?

Beelzemon: You talk too much you know that? You think you’re so smart? Well in a second you’re gonna be history!

He shoots at her and she’s sent flying.

Guardromon: That’s uncalled for! Guardian Barrage!

Beelzemon makes a circle with the motorcycle to block them.

Beelzemon: You want trouble? You got it!

Beelzemon rides in.

Guardromon: What?! Oh no!

Growlmon: Pyro Blaster!

He shoots at Beelzemon but he dodges, then he shoots another and he dodges again.

Kazu: Get outta the way!

Kyubimon runs and knocks Beelzemon off the bike and they both crash.

Beelzemon: I’ll teach you!

He gets up.

Rika: Kyubimon! Come on! You have to get up!

She struggles to.

Rika: To digivolve!

Kyubimon: I’m trying.

Beelzemon gets up.

Kyubimon: Dragon Wheel!

He points his guns but the fire surrounds his hands and he drops the guns yelling. Kyubimon jumps back and collapses.

Rika: Kyubimon!

The fire wears off and Beelzemon is ticked off.

Beelzemon: Nice try there fox face.

He walks over to her with his nails jetted outward to hurt her with.

Growlmon: Don’t you touch her!

Takato: All right that’s it! Get him Growlmon! I don’t care who he used to be he’s nothing but a monster now! Take him down!

Jeri: Huh, Takato.

Beelzemon runs toward Growlmon and punches him in the face knocking him down.

Beelzemon: So much for friendship, huh pineapple head? Don’t worry I’ll deal with you later.

He walks back to Kyubimon.

Beelzemon: Right after I wipe out your uppity friend. All right chatty, any last words?

Kyubimon: Impmon...please...

Beelzemon: Be quiet!!!!

Rika: Oh no! Kyubimon please get up! You have to get away!

Rika searches through her cards for something to help her with.

Rika: These stupid cards are useless! I can’t do anything!

Beelzemon raises his claws.

Beelzemon: Enough! I must destroy you once and for all! Ah!

Kyubimon: Don’t be...so blind.

Beelzemon: I said quiet!

He drives his claw to her, but is stopped right before he touches her.

Beelzemon: Huh?

He looks behind him to see Leomon stopping him and Jeri is scared.

Jeri: Huh?!

Leomon: I don’t know who you are, but I do know you’re being used. This power you’ve been given, is it worth hurting these children to keep it?

Beelzemon tries to break loose.

Beelzemon: You don’t know anything!

Leomon punches him in the face twice.

Leomon: To have power is not to be strong. You see, I know that better than anyone.

Leomon looks at Jeri and she is scared still.

Jeri: Uh, Leomon.

Leomon: Do what you must Beelzemon, but I will not let you hurt these children!

Beelzemon is very ticked and annoyed and he lets out s scream and stabs Leomon in the stomach and it goes through to the other side.

Leomon lets out a long scream of pain and the others watch as he falls to the ground, Kyubimon is very angry at Beelzemon and lunges at him.

Kyubimon: Uh, you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He kicks her and she falls back again.

Rika: Kyubimon!

Leomon’s data starts to appear and wear away.

Leomon: Why can’t see? Why won’t you try to understand the truth?

Jeri is standing away watching and crying, shaking her head no that it’s all a bad dream.

Kazu: I don’t believe it, I don’t believe he got Leomon.

Kenta: We could be next, we gotta get outta here. I can’t take this.

Henry: Leomon, it can’t be.

Takato is looking so ticked off at Beelzemon.

Leomon’s body is completely gone leaving his head and neck and Jeri is standing the helpless and crying

Jeri remembers what Leomon told her. Leomon: Be brave Jeri, part of me will always be with you. Remember, you have a lion’s heart.

She watches as the rest of Leomon fades away and her D-power’s screen goes to static.

Jeri: No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Beelzemon absorbs his data.

Beelzemon: No, to have power is to be strong. I’ll keep loading data till no one can stop me! No one! No one!

Growlmon: But he...was just trying to help us and you...

Growlmon’s eyes turn mad.

Takato: How could you? How could you do this horrible thing!? I’ll make you hurt, I’ll make you pay!

A bright red forms around Takato. And Growlmon marches forward, but he’s digivolved to WarGrowlmon. And Takato and WarGrowlmon both yell at the top of their lungs.

Jeri: What’s going on? What is happening to the two of you?

Kazu: Jeri, what’re you doing? Come on, get outta the way!

Jeri: Don’t touch me! Everyone just leave me alone!

She starts crying.

Kazu: Jeri.

Beelzemon: Nice outfit, but you’re still no match for me you big lump! Just so you know metal mouth, when I’m done with you I’m gonna finish your friends off one by one.

Takato You’re wrong, you’re the one who’s finished.

WarGrowlmon flies in to attack but Beelzemon jumps up and away.

Beelzemon: Take this you big dump truck!

He shoots at WarGrowlmon but they do nothing and he jumps up and bites Beelzemon.

Takato: Finish him! Do it! Tear him apart!

Jeri: Don’t do this.

Beelzemon slashes at WarGrowlmon.

Takato: You cannot lose, I won’t allow it! I...order you to digivolve! Digivolve, now!

He points the D-power up.

In the cage where Calumon is the order makes him give off the light.

Calumon: Huh? Oh, oh no. Oh!

The light goes through the entire Phoenix Gate and gets to WarGrowlmon.

Beelzemon: Huh?

WarGrowlmon’s hazard sign glows.

Henry: The mark on his chest is glowing! What’s happening to him?

A storm brews up behind him and he growls.

In the Hypnos Building.

Riley: Red alert! I repeat red alert! Data are converging in massive amounts at the core of the Digital Field.

Yamaki: But that could lead to...a network meltdown.

Tally: This is the biggest I’ve seen sir, there’s just no telling what effect this might have on the Real World.

In the city a bright red beam shoots out and Mr. Wong sees it.

Mr. Wong: Something’s happening in the digital plane, but what?

On his computer the hazard sign blinks on and off.

Mr. Wong: No! Henry! Suzy! If anything happens to the two of you...it’s all my fault.

In the Digital World WarGrowlmon is surrounded by a red energy and digivolves.

Henry: He’s digivolving!

Takato: Do it, that’s it digivolve. That’s it, digivolve! I order you to digivolve to Mega!

WarGrowlmon changes inside the energy.

Takato: Mega.

The energy leaves to show a newly digivolved Megidramon.

All: Oh, uh...

Takato: Guilmon, what have I done to you boy? I’m sorry.

Megidramon moves in as Beelzemon moves away. He roars at Beelzemon.

Jeri: No!!!

Takato: Uh...uh...

Takato’s D-power cracks in his hands, he drops it to the floor, and it is erased.
