 * -Davis, Cody, Yolei, Kari, TK, and Izzy find an article about Ken in the paper.

Digimon Emperor: "Greymon, digivolve to MetalGreymon and be my slave!" Greymon: "Greymon digivolve to..." SkullGreymon: "SkullGreymon!"
 * -Not exactly the result Ken was expecting.

 * -Davis defers to the more experienced DigiDestined for advice, but only TK has come across SkullGreymon before.

Nefertimon: "Everyone, run!" Kari: "But we have to fight SkullGreymon!" Pegasusmon: "Yes, great idea! Stay clustered together so you create an easy target!"
 * -Pegasusmon may just be being sarcastic, but he's got a good point.

"Why can't we ever fight anything short?"
 * -Kari, not even the Harmonious Ones could answer that question.

Davis: "With all that fire, they could bake, broil, and braze him. If he can't stand the heat, he better get out of the kitchen." TK: "Stop!  You're making me wanna barbeque."
 * -Davis and TK watch the DarkTyrannomon take on SkullGreymon.

Kari: "That's Agumon!" TK: "That slimy creature is coming after him! And when I say slimy creature, I mean Ken!" Kari: "Agumon!" TK: "Let him go!" Kari: "AGUMON!" TK: "You better not hurt him, Ken!" Davis: "Yeah, jerk!" Digimon Emperor: "From defeat, I snatch another victory!" Kari: "TK, DAVIS!  SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!  THEY'RE GETTING AWAY!  Oh!"
 * -Kari and the rest of the DigiDestined team are horrified to learn that Tai's partner has just become Ken's newest slave.

"If he was able to get Agumon, that means every one of our Digimon are in danger!"
 * -Izzy making a totally obvious statement, one that he really should've known before now.
