User:Fractyl/Digimon Tamers Scripts/Episode 42

In Yokohama Rika is in a hotel room watching the Chaos on the news.

Anchorman: West Shinjuku has officially been closed to all traffic. Area residents were evacuated yesterday and...

The phone rings.

Rika: This wouldn’t be happening if the D-Reaper hadn’t followed us.

Rumiko: Yes we’re fine, I guess we’ll be staying in a hotel room for a little while. If you need me just call my cell phone.

Rika’s Grandma is staring out the window.

Rumiko: Thanks, you too.

Rika’s Grandma: Honestly Rumiko, they won’t be setting up any photo shoots with all that’s going on.

Rumiko gets up.

Rumiko: Don’t you think I know that? Sorry I just need to take my mind off all this.

Rika’s Grandma: I know, it’s all so very strange.

Rumiko: Well one good thing has come out it.

Rika’s Grandma: Hm?

She looks at Rika watching the news and Renamon behind her.

Rumiko: At least we can be together as a family again.

Rika: Uh, huh?

She looks at her Mom.

Rika (thinking): Wow, Mom’s changed even more than me.

At sensei’s place Henry’s family and their mother are there with Henry’s sensei.

Anchorman: Road blocks have been set up around the perimeter and the military is mobilizing but the city remains in a state of panic...

Mrs. Wong is trying to get Janyu on the phone.

Sensei: So you still can’t get through?

Mrs. Wong: No.

She looks over.

Mrs. Wong: Huh?

Outside in Shinjuku the Monster Makers are in a van working.

Daisy: There’s got to be someway to tap into the Hypnos’ signal. Maybe if we recycled the power through the frequency modulator we can amplify the signal.

Babble: We’re gettin’ something, yeah it’s weak but we are gettin’ something.

Daisy: Excellent! I’m going to augment the impedances. Let me know if the connection gets stronger.

The signal shoots up.

Babble: There that’s it!

The signal goes down.

Babble: Shoot! It’s gone again.

Daisy: I’ll tweak the power cycle.

Babble: It’s back! No it’s gone. No, oh it’s back. Oh, make up your mind you piece of junk!

Yamaki: All right here’s the Hypnos log file, it’s a record f everything that went in or out of Hypnos.

He hands Dolphin c.d.’s.

Dolphin: Thanks Yamaki, hey Curly, here ya go! Time’s a wasting!

Outside the van Janyu is on his cell with sensei.

Sensei: Glad you got through

Janyu: So am I, is everything okay?

Sensei: Yes, are you safe?

Janyu: Hm, you know something if I didn’t know better I’d swear you just handed the phone over to my father.

Sensei: Just be careful.

Janyu: Thanks, I will. Can you put Henry on for a minute?

In Sensei’s place.

Henry: Is my Dad okay?

Sensei: Yes he’s fine, he just wants to talk to you.

Henry takes the phone.

Henry: Hello?

Janyu: Henry, I know you’re gonna be sorely tempted, but so I don’t lose all my hair, do me a favor and leave this to us, okay?

Henry: Yeah, okay Dad.

Janyu: Wait, did you just say okay?

On a train to Takato’s aunt’s house.

Takato: It’s almost weird being back in the Real World.

Guilmon: I guess so, it’s always been weird for me.

Takato: Oh yeah, right. Huh?

He looks over and sees two people in he seats next to him.

Takato (thinking): Oh man, I totally forgot about having to keep Guilmon hidden from people. Maybe I’ll get lucky and this guy won’t notice anything.

The man is looking at Takato from the corner of his eye because e see Takato’s looking at him.

Takato: Uh, uh...

The man realizes what Guilmon is and tries to stay calm so he folds up his newspaper and leaves to the next car.

Guilmon: Golly, he’s not friendly at all.

Takato: I’ll say.

Man: All right I’ll just warn the conductor, and the police, and the national guard.

Takato hears him and doesn’t like what he’s saying.

Takato (thinking): Uh-oh we’re in trouble. Man does this ever get easy?

Guilmon: At least, we have the whole car.

Takato starts taking off his jacket.

Takato: Uh yeah, that’s great. Here, ya seem a little cold.

He tosses the jacket on Guilmon.

Guilmon: Huh?

Takato: And it looks good on ya too.

Conductor over microphone: All Hachiouji passengers and transfers for the Yokohama Line disembark at the next stop. And if there are any passengers aboard with animals we ask that you remove them immediately.

He takes out a piece of paper with directions on it.

Takato (thinking): So much for the train, I hope we don’t have to walk the rest of the way. Oh well, at least I’m back home with my family.

Flashback to when he got to the Park and his parents were hugging him and then Jeri being tended to by Yamaki’s men and Rika.

Takato (thinking): I only wish everyone could be as glad about being back. I wonder if Jeri will ever be happy again. It’s like something inside her broke when she lost Leomon.

End flashback.

Guilmon: You okay Takato?

Takato: Yeah buddy, just thinkin’ about some stuff.

They get off the train and Guilmon is still wearing the jacket.

Takato: We sure have had our share of trouble, haven’t we boy?

Guilmon: And maybe part of someone else’s share.

Takato: Yeah, and something tells me there’s more on the way.

News guy: Ooh! Ooh! There he is!

Tons of news people crowd around Ryo’s car to ask him questions.

News guy #1: Ryo, the world wants to know where you’ve been all this time.

News guy #2: Does your reappearance have anything to do with that red blob?

News guy #3: Would you sign an autograph for me? I...I mean for my daughter?

But his Dad puts him in the car, shuts the door.

Ryo’s Dad: Please, Ryo is very tired. Why can’t you all just leave us alone?

On the ride back home.

Ryo’s Dad: Ryo, do you really think it’s wise to keep this thing?

Ryo yarns.

Ryo: I really am tired, Dad this thing kept me safe the whole time I was gone. And you can call him Monodramon.

Monodramon: Monodramon, that’s my name!

Ryo’s Dad: And I suppose you wanna let him live in your room?

Ryo: I think that’d be best, unless you want the couch eaten.

Ryo’s Dad: Ugh...

Ryo: Huh?

Ryo’s Dad: Hm.

Ryo: What’s the matter Dad?

Ryo’s Dad: You think this is funny?

Ryo: Sorry.

Ryo’s Dad: I just worry, you know?

Monodramon: What’s this?

He pushes the radio.

Radio: Police caution that any attempt to...

Monodramon: What’s this?

He pushes the windshield wipers.

Ryo’s Dad: Would you stop touching everything!

Monodramon is scared.

Monodramon: Gee I’m sorry.

Radio: ...that even the paranormal are investing, but so far all they’ve been able to tell is internet connections and some electronics have been disrupted...

In Shinjuku Impmon is walking around.

Impmon: Well the old neighborhood looks as boring as ever.

He jumps the fence to his old house.

Impmon: Hm.

He looks around.

Inside the house Impmon’s on the couch flipping through channels.

Impmon: Stupid cable, always on the fritz. Hm.

Impmon checks to see for Ai and Mako.

Impmon (thinking): Jeez, they probably don’t even remember me.

He opens the door wider and sees toys all over the ground and the room dirty.

Impmon (thinking): I mean they don’t, so what, right? Still, it’d be nice to see ’em.

He looks on the dresser and sees Ai and Mako’s picture and a note, he knows it’s for him cause his picture’s on it.

Impmon (thinking): Wait, is that a note?

Impmon: Wha?!

At Jeri’s house her little brother is chasing Calumon.

Jeri‘s little brother: No you’re it!

Calumon: I don’t know what it is, but I love it!

He trips and starts to cry.

Calumon: Oh, did you wanna be it now?

Jeri’s step mom opens the door and aids him.

Jeri’s step Mom: Is everything okay? Did you fall down? Oh.

She helps him up.

Jeri’s step Mom: There ya go, there isn’t even a bruise. See?

He stops crying.

Jeri’s step Mom: All better now.

Calumon: Mom’s have magical powers.

Calumon senses something behind him and looks.

Calumon: Oh?

He sees Jeri right next to him.

Jeri’s brother: Mom...look at Jeri...

Jeri’s step Mom: Jeri, are you okay? Do you want the bathroom dear? It’s just right down the hall and to the left.

She walks forward a little.

Jeri’s step mom: Huh?

Jeri gets down on all fours and pins her brother down and breathes heavily.

Jeri’s step mom: What are you doing?

Jeri: All better now, all better now.

Her little brother starts to cry.

Jeri’s step mom: Jeri let go of him, okay?

She looks at her step mom.

Jeri’s step mom: Jeri?

Jeri smiles.

Calumon: Oh...

He retracts his ears.

Calumon: If that’s what it is, I don’t wanna be it ever again.

At a train station Takato is calling his Mom.

Conductor: The Orange Line is currently experiencing technical difficulties, a maintenance crew is attending to the problem, thank you for your time.

Takato’s Mom: Takato? Takato, is that you?

Takato: Mom.

Takato’s Mom: Oh, it is, yes it is. Oh Takato, come home. I know you wanna go out there and save the world but it’s too dangerous! Please, just come home!

He takes the phone away from his face and starts to hang up.

Takato’s Mom: Hello, Takato? Are you okay? Takato, I know you’re there, answer me!

He turns the pone back.

Takato: I’m sorry Mom, I love you but I have to do this!

Takato’s Mom: Takat!

He hangs up cutting her off.

Guilmon: Takato.

Takato: Come on, let’s go!

Takato grabs Guilmon and they run out of the station.

At the West Shinjuku Gate the army is there.

Army guy: Sir, everything’s on track! The area is secure and the command post has been outfitted with the Eagle Eye surveillance system. We’ve got helicopters patrolling on a 5-10 grid and using varying radio frequencies so they can’t be jammed. The men are now equipped with defense shields bio-terror gear. Sir, we are good to go!

Army guy #2: All units prepare to move out on my order!

In the hotel room Rika is watching and biting her thumb.

Anchorman: The military is confident but even they acknowledge that they don’t know what they’re up against.

Renamon: This isn’t something that can be fought with guns, they’ll be crushed.

Rika stands up.

Rika: I know, we’ve gotta do something. Uh...

She sees her mother, holding bag, standing by the door.

Rumiko: You two are going out there, aren’t you?

Rika: Mom...

Rumiko: You know, back when I got married everyone tried to tell me I was too young.

Rika (thinking): Here we go again.

Rumiko: But I didn’t listen. Turns out my daughter is as stubborn I was. You should be allowed to make your own decisions.

Rika: Huh?

Rumiko: Like I did.

She walks to Rika.

Rumiko: If you are going out there maybe you could wear this for me.

She hands her the bag and Rika pulls out a shirt with a full heart t-shirt instead of a broken one.

Rika: Oh Mom.

Rumiko: Well I just thought it might bring you luck, besides...

She opens her jacket to show she’s wearing a full heart t-shirt that red and pink.

Rika: Oh Mom!

Rumiko: We match.

Rika: Oh Mom.

They both laugh.

Rika: Hm.

Renamon: Thank you.

Rika puts on her jacket over her new shirt and leaves with Renamon.

Rika: Let’s go!

Renamon: Right!

Rumiko: But, be careful!

The door slams shut.

Rumiko: Oh, I hope I’ve done the right thing. Have I done the right thing, Mom?

Rika’s Grandma: I think you did. She would’ve gone anyway, but now she goes knowing that you love her.

Rumiko: I know. I know, but...do you think that love is enough to keep her safe?

Rika’s Grandma: Mm hm.

At Shinjuku the men are preparing to go inside the D-Reaper to take some footage.

Man #1: The camera’s ready to document the phenomenon, I just wish I were.

Army guy #1: Sir, the divisions are fully mobilized!

Leader: Thanks private, you’re dismissed.

Army guy #1: Sir yes sir!

Leader: Men, take a good, long look up there, that’s the enemy. And we will defeat it, I assure you! We have to.

The D-Reaper has engulfed many buildings and a huge part of the city.

In the Hypnos’ van, Janyu is on the computer.

Janyu: Yamaki, you’d better come look at this.

Yamaki: Janyu, is this?

Janyu: Mm hm, that’s right. A record of Hypnos being taken over by something.

On the screen 0’s and 1’s start to develop on the screen.

Janyu: Something that’s not a digimon, you can see its signature in the code if you look hard enough.

Yamaki: Then it’s not just digimon...that have the power to come into this world.

Janyu: Unfortunately not, but what that thing is I have no idea.

At Sensei’s place.

Suzie: If you wanna fit in you have to learn to talk right.

Lopmon: Oh Suzie, do I have to?

Suzie: Hey, that’s perfect Lopmon! Now try ‘I don’t wanna go to bed yet!’

Lopmon: But, I do.

Suzie: No, you never want to go to bed.

Lopmon: Uh...

Lopmon urns to Terriermon.

Terriermon: Moumantai.

Lopmon sighs.

Lopmon: I’m so exhausted.

Suzie: Hey! What did I just say about bed?

Suzie yawns.

Suzie: Oh, now you’ve got me doing it too.

Lopmon: Oh...

Terriermon: Huh? Ooh, did something just attack?

He falls back asleep.

Henry: You were right Sensei, the Devas didn’t think they were evil because they believed in what they were doing.

Sensei: Hm, it’s like the clouds.

He looks outside and Henry does the same.

Henry: Clouds?

Sensei: What do we know about clouds?

Henry: They’re cumulous?

Sensei: True, but they also move between us and the sun creating areas of shadow. And as the clouds move they move the shadows with them. The dark becomes light and the light becomes darkness, so it is with the perception of truth.

Henry: So can you know what’s true? Or do you just have to trust that what you’re doing is right?

Sensei: Very few things are absolute, Henry. Not even our own existence, for example take the border between the Real World and the Digital World.

Henry: What do you mean?

Sensei: To the average person there’s a clear distinction between those worlds, that one contains living beings and the other does not. Isn’t that right? But you see that both are real and both contain living creatures, so perhaps there’s no distinction between them at all and no real border.

In Shinjuku there’s no one around and Takato and Guilmon are walking, Guilmon still with the coat on him.

Guilmon: Takato can I take this off? I’m hot.

Takato: Well, I don’t know Guilmon.

Guilmon: Well I sure do, I feel like a big, ol’, boily lobster under here.

Takato: You kinda look like one.

Guilmon: Hey!

Takato: Oh what the heck, there’s no one around. Go ahead.

He takes off the jacket and sees what Takato said.

Guilmon: Wow you’re right, this place is empty.

Takato: Yeah all the sane people have left.

Guilmon: Do you think we can beat the D-Reaper?

Takato: I don’t know buddy, but we gotta try.

On a bridge to the D-Reaper Kyubimon is running with Rika on her back and Rika sees traffic cones to tell people to stay away.

Rika: That’s not gonna stop anyone.

Kyubimon jumps the hurdles an continues.

Back at Shinjuku there are army guys blocking the way to the Chaos and Takato and Guilmon are behind another building.

Guilmon: How are we gonna get past those guys?

Takato: I don’t know, but we gotta come up with a plan.

Guilmon: Ooh!

Takato: What? Do you have an idea?

Guilmon: No, I just like it when we come up with plans. Ha ha.

Takato: Guilmon.

Guilmon: Hm, sorry.

Takato: Maybe you can digivolve and break through. No, that’s not gonna work. If we do that they’ll probably just think we’re the enemy, and they already don’t trust digimon.

Guilmon: But if there’s no other way, then maybe I should just go ahead and digivolve.

Takato: Wait a sec, just give me some time to think.

Guilmon: Oh...

Takato: Hm...

Guilmon: Um...is that enough time?

Takato: Guilmon!

At Sensei’s Henry and his Mom are sitting, talking about Henry going to the fight.

Henry: I’m pretty sure Takato’s gone down there and I know Rika’s there.

Henry’s Mom: And you want to go too?

Henry: Yes! But after talking to Sensei I’m all confused, I mean I know that the D-Reaper has to be stopped but how can I be sure that fighting it or whatever is the right thing. Plus I told Dad I wouldn’t go.

Henry’s Mom: So what are you gonna do?

Henry: I don’t know, I don’t think I have a choice.

Henry’s Mom: No choice?

Henry: Huh?

Henry’s Mom: Of course you have a choice, Henry! You don’t automatically have to rush out and put yourself into danger, you know? I mean you could get seriously hurt out there all of you could!

Henry: Oh Mom.

Henry’s Mom: The choices you make affect other people. Sometimes it affects them greatly, like when they have to sit home worrying about what might be happening to you Henry.

Henry: Mom, I...

Henry’s Mom: What?

Henry: Hm...Mom I know that you’re worried about me, but believe me, we’re the only ones who know what we’re up against in Shinjuku. Only Takato, Rika, and I have a real shot at beating it. We can’t just sit back and ignore it and hope that this thing will go away because it’s not going to.

Henry’s Mom: Oh Henry, I guess I should’ve known you would say something like that. It’s just amazing to me, every day you seem to get more and more like your father.

Henry: And that’s bad?

Henry’s Mom: No, it’s good, it just sometimes gets you into trouble. There was onetime when your father was just starting out, just trying to build a name for himself. This poor friend of his was living in Hong Kong and his house burned down, your father didn’t hesitate one bit, he quit his job even though he didn’t know if he could get another one, then went to help. Said he couldn’t call himself a friend otherwise.

In the van.

Janyu: Here’s a copy of the log file.

He hands the c.d. to Curly.

Yamaki: I don’t understand. Why did it attack Hypnos and appear here? Did Hypnos mark a weak point between the worlds? Or did Hypnos enable it to appear? Maybe this is all my fault, what have I done?

Janyu puts his hand on Yamaki’s shoulder.

Back at Sensei’s.

Henry’s Mom: So I guess I can’t fault you for wanting to help your friends.

Henry gets optimistic she’d let him go.

Henry: Yeah?

Henry’s Mom: But I still don’t want you to go.

Henry: Oh.

Henry’s Mom: Henry, I don’t know what to tell you. I know you probably have to go out and save the world, but we just got you back and I don’t know if I can stand the thought of losing you again.

In a bedroom.

Lopmon: A bath? I don’t need one.

Suzie: Perfect! You sound just like me!

Lopmon: Uh...

Terriermon walks by.

Terriermon: Psst!

Lopmon: Hm?

Terriermon waves at her.

Lopmon: You’re leaving?!

In the main room Henry is standing while his Mom is still on the ground crying.

Henry’s Mom: Henry, if you have to go then go.

Henry starts for the door.

Henry: Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.

Henry’s Mom: I hope so Henry, I really do.

Henry turns and puts his hands together an closes his eyes to show respect for his Mom.

Henry: I love you Mom, I just...have to go. Just remember that, okay?

In Shinjuku the army moves forward with tanks with men marching behind.

Leader: Just remember to stay behind the tank, men. It’ll protect you if that thing attacks.

Army guy: Sir, but what about us guys inside the tank when it attacks?

Leader: All right cut the chat! We’re gettin’ close.

Army guy: Yes sir, but do we have to get this close?

They move in on the D-Reaper.

At Jeri’s house.

Jeri’s step mom: Jeri? Jeri where are you?

Her little brother is playing with a toy car.

Jeri’s little brother: Vroom! Vroom! Vroom! Vroom!

Jeri’s step mom: Masahiko, do you know where Jeri is?

Masahiko :She went out somewhere.

Jeri’s step mom: Out somewhere? Outside?

Masahiko: No, there!

He points to a corner.

Jeri’s step mom: What do you mean? The laundry room?

He continues to point.

Jeri’s step mom: Well if you put it that way.

She steps forward. And looks into the darkness.

Jeri’s step mom: Hello? Jeri?

No answer.

Jeri’s step mom: Jeri? Are you back there?

No answer still.

Jeri’s step mom: This isn’t funny anymore. If you’re just hiding I’m going to be very upset with you.

She turns on the light and sees nothing at the end.

Jeri’s step mom: Jeri?

In Shinjuku the men continue to march.

Leader: Men, we’re about to walk into the belly of the beast. Let’s stay strong. This is the most important thing you’ll ever do.

Camera guy: Sir I’m getting some strange readings here, the battery level’s all over the place and uh!

The extension cord is stopped and he’s jerked backwards catching the men’s attention.

Camera guy: Hey! Uh!

He’s pulled and he let’s go letting whatever trying to take the camera take it.

Camera guy: Man down! Man down!

Leader: It’s attacking! Maintain your positions!

On the way to Shinjuku Takato and Guilmon are walking down the street and stop at the flood tunnel at the other end of town.

Takato: Here we go.

Guilmon: Here?

Takato: Yeah, don’t you remember? We’ve been here before, it connects to that big underground waterway.

Flashback to the first time in the waterway and end flashback.

Guilmon: Oh yeah, big, scary underground waterway. Whenever I go in here it seems like something bad happens.

Takato: I can’t believe that no one’s guarding it, but that works out great for us. This’ll take us all the way to the center of the Park. I just hope that the D-Reaper doesn’t have a trap or something waiting for us down here.

Guilmon: Well I’m not scared.

Takato: Then neither am I.

Rika: Hey goggle head!

Takato and Guilmon: Huh? Hm?

They look around for Rika and see her on top of the bridge.

Rika: You weren’t thinking of going without me, were you?

Takato: Rika! No, no of course not.

Rika: So what are you doing down in that tunnel, then?

Takato: Oh well see, Guilmon and I were going to find a phone to call you and...hey wait a minute! You ere just about to go after the D-Reaper without calling me, weren’t you?

Rika: Guilty.

Takato: Well come on.

Henry: What about me?

Takato and Rika: Henry!

Henry rides up to the side.

Terriermon: what about me?

Takato: Yeah, you too.

Terriermon: That’s better!

Rika: Well hurry up already.

Takato: Yeah. What you think we’d try to do this by ourselves?

Rika: We’d never do that.

Henry: Funny, cause that’s what it looks like you’re doing.

Rika and Takato: No! Nu uh!

Rika takes off her jacket.

Takato: Uh-oh, the jacket is coming off.

She tosses it in the air.

Rika: That’s right boys, playtime’s over.

Back at Shinjuku the other army guys are helping the camera guy up.

Army guy #1: Are you okay?

Camera guy: Yeah, what was that?

Leader: Shake it off son, we’ve got a job to do.

He sees the camera being dragged away.

Leader: Quick men, this might be our chance to surprise that thing.

They move in.

Leader: All right, stay sharp and move out.

They progress forward.

In the tunnel.

Guilmon: Well nothing bad has happened so far, but it’s still scary.

Renamon: Wait till we face the D-Reaper.

Terriermon: Oh, why’d you have to go and remind us of that?

Renamon: Because we’ve got to come up with a plan to handle it.

Terriermon: You mean beating up on it isn’t plan enough?

Renamon: If it frightens the Sovereign it is not to be taken lightly.

Terriermon: It can’t be taken lightly, it’s the size of a house!

Guilmon: I think Renamon’s right Terriermon, I mean she’s always been right before so why not now?

Renamon: Why thank you.

Terriermon: Renamon and Guilmon sittin’ in a tree!

Rika looks at Takato seeing him look at her.

Rika: Hm?

He turns red and turns his head.

Henry (thinking): Um, what’s goin’ on here?

Rika: Well what?

Takato: Oh, nothing.

Rika: Mm hm.

Takato (thinking): Just keep walking, pretend she’s not staring at you, and keep quiet!

Takato: I just wanted to say that, that shirt looks good.

Rika turns red.

Takato (thinking): Oh, great job of keeping quiet.

Henry (thinking): Hm, just keep walking.

In Shinjuku the army is still following the camera.

All: Huh?

They see bird-like creatures, Agents of the D-Reaper #02 the Searcher(ADR), against the side of two buildings, but don’t know what they are.

All: Whoa.

Leader: All right, relax, they’re just sittin’ here.

The ADR’s fly off the wall.

Leader: Aw nuts!

They shoot upward.

Leader: Move it! Move it! And get me Air Support now!

Army guy: Sir yes sir!

At the end of the tunnel.

Takato: Sure was a long tunnel.

Guilmon: Some of us are still looking a little scared.

Takato opens the door and they all step out.

Guilmon senses something.

Guilmon: Hm? Hm, hey that sounds like fireworks.

They walk to where they can see things

Henry: Oh no!

Takato: Does this mean we’re too late?

Henry: I don’t know, but I’ll tell ya what it does mean.

In the air the army is shooting at another ADR, it’s ADR #03 the Pendulum Feet

Henry: Now we have to deal with the D-Reaper and the army.

Takato: Great, twice as much fun.

Rika: What are those birds?

Henry: The D-Reaper?

Rika: We know so little about it.

Takato (thinking): Yeah, except that it can destroy us all.

Davis: (narration) Man! The D-Reaper's coming for them and what if the army thinks they're the bad guys. See what happens on the next Digimon: Digital Monsters.
