Opening Narration
Narrator: Ever since the debacle at the museum a few days earlier, Dipper had been hard at work trying to figure out the answer to some of the questions he had brewing in his mind. What was the end goal of Hookmon and his fellow villains? Who was commanding them? Why were Raz and Lili psychic? Why did Norman and Coraline have memories of things they shouldn’t have been able to remember? Dipper was determined to look into these things at any cost...

Part One
(The scene is in Dipper’s room where he is looking at a room with pictures and drawings pinned to a wall and Dipper and Kotemon analyzing them)

Dipper: Okay, so from what I’ve gathered, Hookmon and Wizardmon are underlings, there was that glowing thing in Wizardmon’s cloak, people’s memories are in complete shambles, WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon went missing, and Lili and Raz have psychic powers. How does all of this connect?

Kotemon: Don’t forget Tapirmon, Dipper. He went missing shortly after we met.

Dipper: Oh yeah, you’re right! I need to add that to the wall later. (Kotemon gets a better look at the wall and, upon closer inspection, gets incredibly confused by it) In any case, I’m going to need you to get the team. They need to hear this.

Kotemon: Okay, but this wall is confusing. (Dipper quickly draws a picture of what he remembers Tapirmon looking like)

Dipper: There. Now the wall is complete. (The Mystery Tamers arrived in Dipper’s room) Okay, so is everyone accounted for?

Mabel: Yup. So, what cool thing did you find? (Mabel is eating popcorn that she brought with her into Dipper’s room)

Dipper: Well, as we know, we’ve been learning quite a lot of stuff lately, and I’ve been wondering how all of this connects together. First off, Coraline and Norman remember things and people they shouldn’t have been able to remember or even know, like Agatha. Then there’s that guy Dr. Loboto was talking to, where Tapirmon ran off to, where WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon went, and who Hookmon and the other Digimon work for.

Neil: So, what did you figure out?

Dipper: I hate to say it, but not a lot. Everything doesn’t make sense. It’s clear that something seriously big is going on, but what?

Kotemon: While I’m incredibly confused by all of this, don’t you think you’re overthinking this? A lot of the stuff on the wall seems circumstantial to me.

Dipper: No, there’s something else. Over the past few days, I’ve noticed that people in the town went missing. We talked about this over a week ago, but Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland completely disappeared. Who else do you know vanished around town? I believe if we investigate all of the most notable places around Gravity Falls and find as many of our friends as we can, then we’ll tie most of this together. Any questions? (Kotemon immediately raises his hand) Yes, Kotemon?

Kotemon: Wait, what are we supposed to do again? Admittedly, this is kind of confusing me.

Mabel: It’s not confusing me, Kotemon. I haven’t seen Candy and Brenda in ages, so I think we should investigate the town!

Dipper: Whoever thinks my plan is good and that we should go with it, raise your hand! (Just before everyone raises their hand, Coraline notices a spider crawling onto her shoulder)

Coraline: AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!! Spider!! (Mabel and Coraline start panicking as the spider falls onto the ground and Lili begins laughing at Coraline. Wybie eventually steps on it and Coraline breathes a sigh of relief) Thanks, Wybie.

Wybie: Not a problem, Coraline.

Dipper: Now that all of the interruptions are done, who agrees with the plan? (Everyone except Coraline raises their hand) Good! Now all I have to do is talk with Ford and see if he’ll help us and we’ll be good to go.

Coraline: You forgot me, Dipper. Look, if we have to split up like what happened with Rinkmon, then that would only make targeting us easier. Hookmon would take full advantage of that like he did before. Besides, you and I both know how tough fighting him was, and Kotemon and Bearmon fought him at the same time.

Dipper: There are many questions that need answers, Coraline. We’ll prepare for anything and get to the truth, even if we have to bump into Hookmon again.

Coraline: Okay, fine. I’ll give this plan a chance. Just be careful, everyone. You never know what their planning to do next.

Dipper: You guys show everyone else the plan while I go and chat with Ford.

Mabel: I’m coming, too!

Kotemon: Wait for me!

Lunamon: Me too! (Dipper, Kotemon, Mabel and Lunamon run out of the room. The scene transitions to Ford’s lab, where Ford is conducting experiments)

Ford: Now, Agatha, when we activate this device, we should be able to extract you from this computer. An old friend of mine from France named Waldo taught me how to do this.

Agatha: Okay, Ford, but I’m nervous. I don’t want to be stuck in these machines anymore. (Ford activates a special machine just as Dipper, Kotemon, Mabel and Lunamon arrive. The machine short circuits seconds after it activates)

Ford: Darn! Another failure! (Ford and Agatha notice Dipper and the others) You came at a bad time.

Mabel: What happened?!

Ford: I tried freeing your friend but the machine I was using malfunctioned. If Rick were here, this would be easier.

Dipper: Who’s Rick?

Ford: Only one of the smartest men in the universe, and I’m not jesting. We used to go on adventures together and travel across dimensions. There was no mystery we couldn’t solve or any feat we couldn’t accomplish. After awhile, however, things went south. It was clear that our ethics and morals were too different and we went our separate ways.

Dipper: Ethics and morals?

Ford: Let’s just say I had them and he didn’t and leave it at that. Now, what did you need me for?

Dipper: We were going to do some investigating around Gravity Falls and find some answers and we wanted you to join us.

Ford: Dipper, I’d love to help, but the situation with Agatha and the Diginauts requires my undivided attention. Quite frankly, this whole experience has been stressful. (Ford turns to his right, where Agumon is busy messing with some machines) Agumon, would you go with them?

Agumon: Me? Wait, I get to be a hero?

Ford: I guess you could put it that way. Besides, Monodramon can pick up the slack while you’re away. Now go and make me proud, Agumon.

Agumon: Gotcha, Ford! Alright, Dipper, let’s head out and do some research! (Ford looks at the clock on his computer and realizes that it’s 10:59 PM)

Ford: Scratch that. You’re going to have to have to do your investigation tomorrow.

Agumon: But why?! You just said we could start it!

Ford: You’re going to have to wait until tomorrow morning. Do you really think you’d be able to focus if you stayed up too late? Remember what happened with Lili? (Dipper sighs)

Dipper: He’s right. We’ll just have to deal with this in the morning. (A disappointed Mabel and Lunamon slowly head out of the lab with Dipper and Kotemon. The scene transitions to Gideon’s mansion, where Hookmon, Wizardmon and Witchmon are battling a strange levitating Digimon with tentacles. Hookmon is blocking the digimon’s spear-like tentacles while the creature dodges one of Witchmon’s attacks)

Witchmon: You need to try a bit harder, Chrysalimon! You’re losing your edge! (Wizardmon gets tossed aside by Chrysalimon as Witchmon is thrown across the room)

Chrysalimon: Perhaps it is you, not me, who has lost one’s edge. (Hookmon eventually gets tossed across the room) And thus your training session concludes. (Chrysalimon shapeshifts into a butler as Gideon and Eyesmon enter the room) Ah, Mr. Gleeful and Mr. Eyesmon, so nice to see you. Have you decided on your next plan of action?

Gideon: Yes I have, actually. How did the training go?

Chrysalimon: Well, I’ll have you know that I have yet to see these three defeat me, as always. You really should consider making some new minions to entertain me with.

Witchmon: Maybe I will, you egotistical octopus.

Chrysalimon: Interrupting our conversation, are you, Witchmon? Surely, you meant every word of what you just said.

Witchmon: You better believe I did. I’d like you oversee a mission, Gideon. I have a strategy to test.

Eyesmon: Oh, good! I was hoping for some excitement! Finding out Wizardmon goofed up that mission at that museum made me bored beyond belief! So, what’s the game plan?

Witchmon: Well, what’s Gideon’s?

Gideon: I intended on using some of my photos to make the deadliest Digimon I’ve ever made! It’s going to be a gas!

Witchmon: Good, because I have a strategy that incorporates ideas just like this one. I say it’s time to go hunting. When I fought that girl in the pigtails, she called herself a “Mystery Tamer”. That sounds like a team name to me. They work as a team, so we should target them one by one. Find some way to isolate them and they’ll fall. Of course, if we fight them on equal terms like a certain someone made Sethmon, they’ll most likely survive. I, on the other hand, won’t give them the luxury of a fair fight!

Gideon: That’s what I want to hear! Initiative and logic! (Wizardmon hands Gideon a photograph of a moth) Thanks, Wizardmon. Anyway, who did you intend on targeting first?

Hookmon: I approve so long as I get the chance to blast that bear and the lizard samurai to oblivion.

Witchmon: Well, you’ll just have to settle for the blue-haired girl, because my target is the one with the pine tree hat. (Wizardmon facepalms)

Wizardmon: He’s the smart one, Witchmon! Why would you target him?! (Witchmon chuckles)

Witchmon: Because, Wizardmon. (Witchmon grins maniacally) He’s the smart one. (The scene transitions to the Mystery Shack’s upper floor, where Dipper gets ready to go downstairs for breakfast)

Dipper: (A tired Dipper heads downstairs with Kotemon) Here’s hoping I’ll eat some waffles.

Kotemon: Didn’t Stan run out of those?

Dipper: I hope not. Chocolate chip waffles are the best kind of waffles there is. (Dipper notices that he and Kotemon are the first ones downstairs) Oh, looks like we got down to the kitchen early. (Dipper looks out the window and sees that it is still nighttime while Kotemon looks at the clock) It’s not even morning yet. (Kotemon’s eyes widen as he sees the time of day)

Kotemon: Dipper, you might want to look at the time! (Dipper looks at the clock in the room and notices that it says 8:00 AM)

Dipper: The clock must be off by a few hours, Kotemon. (Mabel enters the kitchen with Lunamon)

Mabel: You’re late! Everyone already ate breakfast!

Dipper: Wait, isn’t it still nighttime?

Lunamon: Actually, it’s supposed to be morning. Unfortunately, it still looks like midnight and the moon is larger than usual. Have a look. (Dipper and Kotemon go outside and see a large purple moon with binary code in its craters)

Dipper: Woah! Another pocket dimension?!

Kotemon: Looks so to me.

Dipper: Each pocket dimension is themed to the digimon that spawned it, so we’re probably dealing with something nocturnal. Are there any bat digimon, by any chance?

Kotemon: I was thinking an owl. (Coraline and Bearmon approach Dipper and Kotemon)

Coraline: It’s about time you two woke up. (Norman and Vi-Elecmon walk over to Dipper)

Vi-Elecmon: We agreed to join you on your investigation!

Norman: Neil and the others will be joining us soon. They’re getting the snacks. So, any idea of what digimon we’ll probably fight next?

Mabel: No matter what comes our way, I’m sure Dipper can handle it.

Dipper: Thanks, Mabel. In any case, I made a list of places we should visit starting with Greasy’s Diner and ending with the Northwest Mansion. (Agumon exits the Mystery Shack with a notebook and immediately realizes that it is somehow still nighttime) Hey, Agumon.

Agumon: Fascinating! This must be one of those pocket dimensions! I’m glad I brought this notebook with me so that I can study it. (Dipper hears frantic footsteps and looks toward the parking lot. He sees a very worried Wendy running toward him)

Wendy: Dipper!

Dipper: What happened, Wendy?!

Wendy: It’s Robbie! We were going to have a bite to eat at Greasy’s and leave town for the day but then this circle surrounded him and he disappeared in a flash of light! (Everyone seems shocked to hear this)

Dipper: A flash of light? Now we have another mystery to solve. (Mabel, Lunamon, Norman, Vi-Elecmon, Wendy and Agumon prepare to go investigate Greasy’s Diner)

Coraline: Wait a second! We’re all going to investigate together, Dipper. Nobody is getting separated this time. (The rest of the Mystery Tamers and their digimon join Dipper and the others. As the team, Wendy and Agumon venture toward town, red bug eyes start glowing in the darkness)

Part Two
(The scene is Greasy’s Diner, where the Mystery Tamers begin their investigation)

Dipper: Okay, we’re here. Wendy, where did you last see Robbie?

Wendy: He was just about to open the door when he vanished. You don’t think he’s “gone” gone, do you? (Dipper, Kotemon, Wybie and Zubamon inspect the front entrance)

Dipper: Probably. (Kotemon elbows Dipper) I meant to say probably not.

Kotemon: Sure, you did.

Mabel: Dipper, do you think Lazy Susan saw what happened to Robbie?

Dipper: Of course, she must have. He vanished right outside the entrance. (Dipper and Kotemon enter Greasy’s Diner. They look around for Lazy Susan and find her trying to catch one of her cats. Mabel and Lunamon enter shortly afterward) Hey, Lazy Susan. (Lazy Susan manages to catch her cat and looks toward Dipper)

Lazy Susan: Oh, hello, Dipper! Mittens was just causing a ruckus again. He’s been like this all morning! How is everyone? (Mabel notices a sign reading “Breakfast Crepes Now Available!” and begins obsessively looking at the Crepe Suzette used to advertise the crepes)

Mabel: Breakfast Crepes? (Mabel’s eyes widen. Dipper facepalms) I need Crepe Suzettes in my life right now.

Dipper: No you don’t, Mabel! Pay attention!

Mabel: Give me every single Crepe Suzette you have!

Lunamon: Your brother is right, Mabel. You’re getting distracted. (Mabel takes the money she had in her pocket and gives it to Lazy Susan)

Dipper: You’re wasting time, Mabel. Fine, we’ll investigate Gravity Falls without you.

Mabel: Alright, I’ll stop. But we eat breakfast crepes tomorrow, Dipper! (Coraline and Bearmon dash through the door)

Bearmon: We’re under attack! Wizardmon is back and he’s not alone!

Dipper: Okay, Mabel, we’re putting the investigation on hold! Let’s go kick some butt! (Dipper and the others run outside to find Wizardmon with two digimon the team never saw before: a large red wolf-like creature and a big insect) Huh?!

Wizardmon: It’s nice to see you again, kids! I hope you don’t mind me bringing some friends to our little showdown, do you?

Roachmon: This is it? These are the chumps that are causing the boss so much trouble? We aren’t fighting them all at once, are we? (Wizardmon takes a brief glance to his left toward the sky as Witchmon is observing the impending battle, giving a hand signal to Wizardmon as her eyes start glowing)

Wizardmon: Trust me. This is going to be spectacular! (Witchmon projects an illusion from her eyes consisting of hordes of random monsters. Roachmon cackles)

Coraline: There’s too many of them! (Raz and Lili begin suffering from headaches) What’s wrong?!

Raz: Something is giving us headaches!

Lili: You guys get moving! We’ll keep them busy while you guys go! Continue the investigation without us!

Zubamon: Wybie, we’re staying! They need our help, and I have just the thing, now come on! (Wybie is forced to stand his ground while Dipper and the others retreat. The scene cuts to the remaining Mystery Tamers running into town, with each of the kids and their digimon being exhausted. Wendy and Agumon catch up to them)

Coraline: Okay, is everyone alright? (Everyone nods yes) I hope Wybie and the others will be safe.

Wendy: Did you guys see how many monsters there were?! I doubt that they’ll last for very long, but they seem tough. (Coraline’s Digi-Phone starts ringing. Coraline answers the call)

Coraline: Hello?

Raz: This is Raz. After you guys left, most of the monsters vanished! Right now, everyone is fine, but we’re busy duking it out with Wizardmon and his new goons, so you’ll have to investigate the town without us for now!

Coraline: Got it. (Coraline hangs up the Digi-Phone) Okay, Dipper, what’s next on the itinerary?

Dipper: Well, that would be the Gravity Falls Junkyard. It’s time to pay McGucket a visit. (Agumon rapidly begins writings things in his notebook) What are you writing, Agumon?

Agumon: If we bump into anyone like Wizardmon as we get closer to the truth, then he and his new minions might be trying to keep us from it.

Dipper: We’ll keep that in mind. Well, we have a junkyard to visit, so let’s go. We don’t have to travel far. (Dipper points toward the piles of junk in the distance) See? It’s just across this long road. (The Mystery Tamers reach the junkyard, where an old prospector-like man was busy roasting marshmallows over a fire) Hey, it’s McGucket! (McGucket turns toward the Mystery Tamers with a happy look on his face)

McGucket: Howdy, Dipper! I was just cooking up some marshmallows! Want some?! (Dipper notices that the expiration date for the bag of marshmallows reads “12/3/89”)

Dipper: Thanks, but we’d rather not. We were wondering if you noticed anything strange around town. Granted, that’s easy enough to do in Gravity Falls, but we’re looking for something specific.

McGucket: Strange?! What’s strange?! I never saw anything strange! Unless... Nah, never mind.

Dipper: Never mind what?

McGucket: Well, all I remember seeing is this random flash of light! (The Mystery Tamers, Agumon and especially Wendy take notice of what McGucket said)

Wendy: Flash of light?! Did it appear underneath of something?! Did anything vanish afterward?! (McGucket acts as if he is concentrating)

McGucket: Well, there was this pathetic looking fellow with a mustache who showed up. What was his name again?

Mabel: If he’s pathetic, then it must be Toby.

McGucket: Yes, that was it! He was looking for the same thing you kids have been looking for and then all of a sudden this circle appeared underneath of him and then BOOM! Next thing you know, all that was left of him was his hat! (McGucket handed Dipper Toby’s hat. Just as Dipper was about to take the hat, a circle surrounds McGucket and he vanishes in a flash of light)

Dipper: McGucket! (The Mystery Tamers and their digimon have surprised looks on their faces)

Wendy: That’s exactly what happened to Robbie!

Neil: But what made the circle appear?

Dipper: I think I have an idea of what’s going on here.

Coraline: Tell us.

Dipper: The light thing happens when people start shaking up the status quo, like leaving town or trying to solve certain mysteries. Whatever is making this happen is determined to maintain a certain level of artificial stability to the town. Anything that hurts that stability gets removed from the town. And yet, Hookmon and the other bad Digimon are allowed to stay. Who or what is behind all of this? (The Mystery Tamers feel large footsteps as two lumbering figures begin approaching them with Hookmon by their side) No! They found us!

Hookmon: That we did, landlubbers! Now, watch as me and my lackeys hunt you all like dogs! Harharharhar! (Witchmon, Chrysalimon and a mysterious insect digimon join Hookmon and his two new subordinates) Oh look, Witchmon brought some friends with her to play with you! Diatrymon! Gorillamon! The hunt continues! (Diatrymon attacks Neil and Ludomon, Gorillamon attacks Norman and Vi-Elecmon, Hookmon attacks Coraline and Bearmon, and Chrysalimon attacks Mabel and Lunamon. Diatrymon puts up a barrier between Dipper, Kotemon, Wendy and Agumon and the rest of the team. Witchmon and the mysterious insect digimon get ready to fight Dipper and Kotemon, completely ignoring Agumon and Wendy)

Witchmon: Everything went exactly as planned! Now that you and your digimon are alone, destroying one by one will be much easier!

Wendy: Hey, witch! (Witchmon notices Wendy) What did you do to Robbie?! Why did you target him with that circle thing?! (Witchmon looks at Wendy in a very confused manner)

Witchmon: What are talking about? What circle? (Agumon clears his throat, getting Witchmon’s attention)

Agumon: I take it you’re the one who orchestrated this plan?

Kotemon: I was about to ask the same thing.

Witchmon: My strategy was perfect! How come there’s more of them now?! It threw everything off!

Dipper: Are you the evil digimon orchestrating everything? Are you Hookmon’s boss?

Witchmon: As much as I would like to say yes, I’m afraid you’re out of luck, because I follow Hookmon’s orders, not the other way around! Thankfully, there are digimon I do get to give orders to. Take Mothmon for an example. While I’m busy blasting that lizard and that lumberjack girl into oblivion, Mothmon will turn you and that samurai iguana into Swiss cheese!

Mothmon: Blast?

Witchmon: Yes, Mothmon. Blast.

Mothmon: Yay! Blast! (Mothmon begins spinning the battling gun on his abdomen as Kotemon begins eating McGucket’s expired marshmallows)

Part Three
(The scene is Gravity Falls Junkyard, where Mothmon is about the try and kill Dipper and Kotemon)

Mothmon: Blast! Blast! Multiple Blaster! (Mothmon starts firing laser-like projectiles from the gattling gun in his abdomen) Blast! Blast! (Mothmon begins firing in every direction and almost hits Witchmon’s broom)

Witchmon: Aim at them, not me, you doofus! (Mothmon begins firing in all directions again)

Kotemon: I’ll stop that bug, you take care the witch, Agumon!

Agumon: Agumon, digivolve to... (Agumon digivolves into Greymon) ...Greymon!! (Greymon chases after Witchmon)

Kotemon: We gotta duck for cover! That bug doesn’t know what he’s doing! (Dipper, Wendy and Kotemon hide behind a pile of trash) Okay, there has to be a way I can take that moth down! Do you think after all the marshmallows I ate that I’ll digivolve?

Dipper: Kotemon, you can’t digivolve yet! It’s too dangerous!

Kotemon: It’s the only way! Even if I can’t digivolve, I still have to protect you! Besides, I think I have a plan! (Kotemon gets out of hiding) Hey, bug eyes! Hothead! (Kotemon attacks Mothmon and gets his undivided attention)

Dipper: You’ll die! Get back to safety! (Kotemon starts glowing purple. Dipper acts surprised. Kotemon becomes more confident)

Kotemon: I think I have this, Dipper! You know how it goes! When a digimon glows, they’re gonna digivolve! Kotemon, digivolve to... (A purple light consumes Kotemon as he is turning into a Champion-level digimon) ...Dinohyumon!! (Wendy and Dipper looked from behind some garbage with amazement) Come and get some, bug boy! (Dinohyumon swings his large sword at Mothmon, who dodges the swing just fine)

Mothmon: Multiple Blaster! (Mothmon fires at Dinohyumon but Dinohyumon gracefully deflects every shot with his blades) Blast! (Mothmon continues firing at Dinohyumon and Dinohyumon keeps deflecting shots while steadily getting closer to Mothmon)

Dipper: Way to go, Dinohyumon!

Wendy: Cut that moth to ribbons! (Eventually, Dinohyumon gets close enough to Mothmon to the point where he could attack him)

Dinohyumon: Akinakesu! (Dinohyumon swings his large sword at Mothmon, slicing off a part of one of his antennas)

Mothmon: AAAAH! Blast! (Mothmon fires his gattling gun at Dinohyumon. Dinohyumon deflects the blasts)

Dinohyumon: You know, using the same attack so many times makes you look stupid, right? (Mothmon looks at Dinohyumon in a confused manner) Let me say this in terms you can understand, bug. You’re dumb! (Mothmon angrily begins firing in all directions, almost hitting Witchmon again)

Witchmon: Will you quit doing that?! I’m not your target, they are! Pay attention! (Dinohyumon slashes Mothmon as Greymon swats Witchmon with his tail, sending her flying) AAAAAAHHH!!!!

Greymon: Alright, Dinohyumon, let’s squash this bug! (Greymon and Dinohyumon nod to each other as Mothmon screams in anger and fires in all directions) Nova Blast! (Greymon fires a large fireball out of his mouth as Mothmon desperately evades the attack) He’s too fast! We need to clip Mothmon’s wings! Dinohyumon, you’re the only one who can keep up with him right now, so get going!

Dinohyumon: Got it! (Dinohyumon grabs his blades and dashes toward Mothmon) Lizard Dance! (Dinohyumon swings his blades as fast as lightning in a graceful, dance-like manner, slashing Mothmon multiple times, slicing off Mothmon’s wings and leaving him in pain) Now for the end! (Dinohyumon slices off the gun in Mothmon’s abdomen in half)

Greymon: Nova Blast! (Greymon manages to hit Mothmon this time, sending him flying into a pile of garbage)

Mothmon: Blast... (Dinohyumon impales Mothmon with his large blade, deleting Mothmon and leaving behind the photo of a moth that was used to make him. The sky changed to daytime shortly afterward)

Dipper: We did it! (Everyone begins blocking their eyes because of how suddenly everything became bright again)

Mabel: My eyes! Everything is bright now! (Hookmon notices that the Mystery Tamers that Wizardmon and the others were dealing with arrived)

Hookmon: This isn’t over, landlubbers! We’ll resume this battle some other day!

More to be added.
