Opening Narration
Narrator: After that exciting fight a few days ago, many people have questions. Lots of questions. One such question has been haunting Lili ever since she first experienced it. Raz’s psychic powers are the stuff of legends, but why do they exist? Perhaps she can find answers to this question in this brand new adventure...

Part One
(The scene is in the Mystery Shack as some of the Mystery Tamers are eating breakfast)

Lili: (Lili is eating an omelette with Coronamon. She has a concerned look on her face) Coronamon, can I ask you a question?

Coronamon: Sure, what’s wrong?

Lili: I know it’s been a few days, but I can’t get Raz’s psychic powers out of my head. I have a psychic boyfriend now.

Coronamon: I’d say you should consider yourself lucky, Lili. Most people would be pretty envious of you.

Lili: I guess it’s just there’s a ton of stuff on our plate right now. MetalGarurumon and WarGreymon went missing, our memories might have something wrong with them and now Raz is a psychic. It’s just a ton to process. I just wish our fearless leader knew what she was doing.

Neil: Coraline is doing a good job, Lili.

Lili: She can do better, Neil. After the Rinkmon incident, I think I should be in charge. Maybe then we could figure out how Raz has superpowers and how to solve our memory problems much faster.

Mabel: You fell for Rinkmon’s lies too, Lili. Admit it. Actually, didn’t you already do that?

Lili: Okay, look, I get it. I still think I can do a better job than her.

Ludomon: Oleander wants the digimon to start sparring later this morning. Maybe you could talk to Coraline then. She might let you have a shot. Just be reasonable, okay?

Lili: I’ll take your word for it, Ludomon. This is something that’s been in my head for awhile. Oh, and where is Raz, anyway?

Ludomon: Ford wanted to conduct experiments to see just how powerful Raz’s psychic powers are. He and Muchomon will be busy all day. (Lili stares at her unfinished omelette was if thinking about something. The scene transitions to everyone being outside as Coach Oleander marching back and forth in front of them)

Oleander: Alright, listen closely, kids! As you know, WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon have gone missing recently and Magnamon has been searching high and low for them! What you children need to pay attention to is making sure your digimon are in shape! If you don’t raise them right, they’ll end up like MetalGarurumon and WarGreymon, so focus! Granted, Milla and Sasha raised those two properly, but you know what I mean! However, me warning you about your digimon is not the only reason I called you here today. Norman’s digimon is nice and healthy again, so make him feel comfortable.

Norman: You remember them, right, Vi-Elecmon? I hope you do, because Dr. Loboto jumbled your memories up pretty badly.

Vi-Elecmon: Who are they? They’re looking at me funny.

Norman: They’re your friends and they’re just concerned about you, that’s all.

Oleander: Now, we’ll need volunteers to show Vi-Elecmon how to defend himself.

Norman: I think we should let him see a sparring match before he gets in one himself. (Oleander thinks about this more a moment)

Oleander: Good idea. Any volunteers? (Lili becomes very determined and raises her hand) Lili, you and Coronamon want to show Vi-Elecmon how to fight?

Lili: Yup, and I know who I’m going to challenge. Coraline, let’s go! (Coraline becomes surprised)

Coraline: Why me and Bearmon?

Lili: If I win, I lead the team. (The team becomes slightly concerned)

Oleander: Save the petty stuff for later, Zanotto! If you want to make it personal, then I’m picking a different volunteer.

Coraline: I’ll accept the challenge. If I win, I get bragging rights for the whole week.

Lili: Deal. (Bearmon and Coronamon get ready for their sparring match as Coach Okeander draws a big circle in the ground)

Bearmon: Good luck, buddy.

Coronamon: Thanks. You too. (Bearmon and Coronamon get into fighting stances)

Oleander: Now remember, this isn’t some kind of fight to the death. This is sparring, so show restraint. Here are the rules. No projectiles! You’ll hurt somebody watching you two by accident! Pin an opponent down for five seconds to win! Also, anyone who exits this circle loses immediately. 3...2...1... Go!!

Lili: Go get him, Coronamon!

Coraline: You have this, Bearmon! (Coronamon dodges Bearmon’s punches and manages to trip Bearmon. However, Bearmon gets back up again and blocks the punches and kicks Coronamon dishes out. Bearmon almost jumps too far backward and almost exits the ring, but Coronamon tries pouncing on Bearmon, but Bearmon rolls underneath of him, resulting in Coronamon jumping out of the ring)

Oleander: Ring out! Bearmon wins! (Coraline gives Lili a smug grin while Lili gets frustrated)

Lili: I want a rematch! That was barely a sparring match at all!

Coraline: Look, rules are rules. Good game.

Lili: Fine. (Lili begrudgingly shakes Coraline’s hand)

Bearmon: That was quick, Coronamon. You did pretty good, though. Let’s practice again sometime.

Coronamon: Sure thing, Bearmon. I’ll be sure to do my absolute best next time.

Vi-Elecmon: That was cool, but can I see more explosions? Norman says that explosions happen in fight scenes.

Norman: Vi-Elecmon, are you okay?

Vi-Elecmon: Yup, but I don’t think pigtails is. (Lili taps her foot on the ground in a frustrated manner)

Coronamon: What’s got into, anyway? You can tell me anything.

Lili: Later. Not in front of them. (Coronamon scratches the back of his head in a confused manner. The scene transitions to evening, in which Soos arrives with an excited look on his face. He notices a slightly upset Lili talking to Coronamon and decides to try and cheer her up)

Soos: Oh, hey, little dude. How’s it going?

Lili: Not too good, Soos.

Coronamon: She has a lot on her mind today.

Soos: You can tell me anything.

Lili: Well, it’s just that my dad leads the Diginauts. Zanottos have been leaders for generations, so I need to carry on that tradition someday. If I want to be like my dad, then I need to become the best leader possible. Earlier, I tried proving I could be the leader of the Mystery Tamers, but I failed.

Soos: Well, you’re in luck! I was just about to show everyone something really cool we could do tomorrow. (Soos takes out tickets) The Gravity Falls museum just opened an Ancient Egypt exhibit expansion and it comes with a maze! Anyone that makes it to the end gets free buffalo wings and pizza! You want to go? Wendy, Stan, Dipper and Mabel already said yes.

Coronamon: That actually sounds interesting. I might learn more about humans this way. (Lili begins thinking for a moment)

Lili: Sure. Who knows? Maybe it’ll cheer me up. (Soos smiles and excitedly enters the Mystery Shack as he gives Lili her museum ticket. Lili hears Soos telling everyone in the Mystery Shack about the museum) Coronamon, do you think we’ll get another chance to prove ourselves?

Coronamon: Yup, and I’ll be your buddy every step of the way. It wouldn’t be very honorable to do otherwise. (Lili gives Coronamon a smile and then looks back at the ticket. The scene transitions to nighttime where Lili is trying to get some sleep)

???: Lili... (Lili looks around for the source of the voice)

Lili: Huh? (Lili tries getting sleep, but the voice keeps repeating her name, making Lili stay up out of paranoia. The scene transitions to Gideon’s mansion where he and Eyesmon are watching a news report about the museum expansion)

News Reporter: Today, the local museum is finally ready to open the Ancient Egypt expansion. After three months of remodeling and construction, the new exhibits are said to be more interactive and comes with a maze for the kids to play in. People who make it to the end get free pizza and buffalo wings, but according to museum employees, this will only last for one week. This is Claudia Phelps of Gravity Falls News Network, signing off. (A scheming Gideon turns off the TV)

Gideon: What do you make of this?

Eyesmon: Send Wizardmon to the museum. We’re burying those brats alive! (Eyesmon and Gideon cackle maniacally)

Part Two
(The scene is the Mystery Shack in the morning, where Coronamon is waiting for Lili)

Coronamon: She normally isn’t this late. You think I should go and check on her?

Raz: I’m going with you.

Muchomon: Me too. Besides, I want to go to that museum and eat those wings.

Raz: You do know you digivolve into a rooster, right?

Muchomon: Oh. Good point. Then let me eat the pizza, especially if it’s the mushroom kind. That’s my favorite. (Muchomon hears someone coming down the stairs) That must be her.

Raz: Good morning, sleeping beauty. (Raz looks at Lili. Lili incredibly tired and sleepy and yawns as she approaches Raz)

Lili: Good morning. Raz, I need to talk to you for a moment. (Lili stumbles toward Raz)

Raz: Lili, are you okay?

Lili: Raz, I couldn’t get sleep. If I hear that voice in my head again, I’m going to go ballistic.

Raz: Voice? Are you psychic, too?!

Lili: I don’t know, Raz, but all I know is the voice gave me insomnia and I’m not in the mood for anyone’s— (Stan and Gabumon walk into the room with a big grin on his face)

Stan: Okay, you four, listen up. We’re heading to the museum in a few minutes, so eat breakfast quick! In the meantime, Gabumon and I are going to steal— er, I mean purchase some stuff from the gift shop.

Gabumon: Wouldn’t buying more props be a better idea?

Stan: Gabumon, you gotta understand that sometimes, paying for something is for chumps.

Gabumon: But there’s no reason to—

Stan: I don’t want to hear any more of it! We need props for future shows and I’m getting them no matter what! (Stan turns to Lili and the others) As for you, get ready! You’re chocolate chip waffles are getting cold! (Lili and everyone else begins eating the waffles. The scene transitions to the front entrance of the museum, where a familiar spiky friend is waiting to greet guests. The Mystery Tamers approach the entrance)

Mabel: Hey, it’s the adorable porcupine that sounds like Droopy!

Togemogumon: Hello again, friends!

Raz: Hey, Togemogumon. What are you doing here?

Togemogumon: Well, after you saved me, I decided to look for jobs and the museum was looking for fresh faces, so they hired me.

Muchomon: Good to know, buddy. Mind if we enter? We have the tickets for that Ancient Egypt thing.

Togemogumon: Oh, you can enter the museum without the tickets. It’s free on Wednesdays, but the tickets are needed for the actual exhibit. Oh, and hopefully, you all know about the wings and pizza at the end of the maze, right? People of all ages are trying the maze just to get to the food at the end. (Lili yawns as the Mystery Tamers enter the museum. The team looks around and sees that the museum is decorated with all sorts of Egypt-themed decoration advertising the new exhibits)

Coraline: They went all out on the decor!

Mabel: It’s so pretty!

Norman: Vi-Elecmon, don’t wander off. (Norman looks at where he thought Vi-Elecmon was standing and realizes he already wandered off toward the gift shop. Norman facepalms and tries catching up to him) Get back here! Stay with the group! (Lili chuckles before yawning again. Lili tries concentrating on where she is going but can’t because of how sleep deprived she is)

Coronamon: The Egypt exhibit seems to be that way from the looks of it. (Coronamon points toward a hallway with arrows pointing toward where guests need to go to reach the Egypt exhibit)

Lili: This trip is going to be an absolute nightmare. I can barely pay attention. (Lili and the others arrive at the Egypt exhibit and are amazed by the elaborate exhibits)

Dipper: I didn’t think the Gravity Falls Museum could afford something this good! Just think of all the stuff we can learn.

Neil: Does anyone know where the maze is? Those wings are calling to me. (Lili looks around as everyone else begins observing all of the elaborate exhibits. Lili can barely focus on where she is going as Coronamon follows her around the museum. Lili notices the entrance to the maze)
