Fan:The Return of Coredramon

The Return of Coredramon is a three-part episode of the second season of Digimon Mighty Squadron.

Part 1
Another bright & shiny day at Tokyo Junior High School. Inside Ms. Kinta's classroom, the burly teacher erases writing on the chalkboard, & reveals the homework to the students. She says, "Which period in history would you have liked to have lived? These are the subjects for your assignment. So, enjoy your three-day weekend, everyone!" Nicky seems especially excited to be getting extra homework for the added school-less day. The room full of students comes alive with the teens exiting at the sound of the bell. We soon find the DigiDestined teens walking around an area of the school, with Brick & Stick following behind, along with other students. Brick mocks Kinta's statement to his pal in a funny voice, "Enjoy your three-day weekend everyone!" Stick scoffs, as he sips a drink from a plastic cup, remarking, "Yeah! The stupid assignment!" The DigiDestined teens break off from the bumbling duo, & proceed to sit down at a table in a park-like section of the school. Maggie starts discussing Kinta's assignment, saying, "Let's see, if I were to go back in time... I would definitely go back to last year when they had that huge sale on at the Galleria, remember, & I was out sick with the flu?" Zoe laughs at her best friend's squandering of time travel plans, noting, "Mag, I think we're supposed to go back a LITTLE farther back in time." Mag giggles, & the girls sit next to Liam & Nicky at the table. Cody & Alex take their time approaching their pals, with Cody stating, "I think I'd like to be in... Viking times. I always loved those books!" Alex chuckles, & adds, "I'd like to have lived in the days of... King Arthur!" He then proceeds to swing his arm around like he was carrying a sword. His friends get a laugh out of his enthusiasm.

Meanwhile, on the Evil Moon Palace, Tactimon eavesdrops on our heroes, remarking aloud in equal resentment, "If I could, I would send them ALL back in time! Then they would be out of my way forever!" MadLeomon, who fails to point out Tactimon did sort of try to send the DigiDestined back in time recently & pretty much failed, does bring up something we aren't privy to. He says, "Didn't the Ghost Of Darkness conjure up some wizard once that had those special powers, my lord?" Tactimon confirms, "Yes, but the Ghost is Lilithmon's creation, but she's been so touchy lately I don't know if she'll talk to him!" MadLeomon gets testy, saying, "Why don't you ORDER her to talk to him, sire?!" Tactimon grumbles, "You fool! You know Lilithmon! That won't work!" MadLeomon apologizes, nodding & saying, "Yes, I forgot!" The armored master of evil notes, "If you want something nice out of Lilithmon, you have to ask her nicely. Deliver my request with my warmest regards. Ha-ha-ha." MadLeomon departs to do his bidding, when Tactimon adds, "And one more thing, MadLeomon. Remind Lilithmon that no wife of mine shall EVER be allowed to fail me!" MadLeomon obeys, raspily saying, "Yes!" This causes Tactimon to pause, as he scratches his head & asks himself, "Why DID I marry her, anyway?" MadLeomon remarks, "Good question!", prompting his overlord to shout, "What?!" The hench-Digimon backs off & stutters, trying to play off his remark by stating, "Uhh, I was just saying.. we could send the DigiDestined back in time!" Tactimon screams at the blue goon, pointing out, "I already said that! Now go! And don't come back until you've delivered my request!" MadLeomon growls & grovels, leaving to do the deed assigned to him. Tactimon breathes heavily, & sits down on his throne, while talking to himself, "The DigiDestined will become nothing more than a faded memory. And I will finally control the world." He spins his throne around laughing, & we get a fullscreen image of the big golden T on the back of his chair.

Back at the park area of Tokyo Junior High, we find Brick & Stick sitting on a bench, playing thumb wrestling against each other. Brick pins Stick's thumb down, & wins the round. A few feet away, the DigiDesined teens are lounging at the table, continuing their discussion of the topic from class. Cody asks, "So what about you, Nicky? What period of time would you like to have lived in?" Nicky replies, "Well, that's an easy one. Back in the '30s with Albert Einstein. Course, uhh, I'd have to be his assistant." His teammates snicker over his statement, while Stick loudly struggles to free his thumb from Brick's clutches. Liam continues the discussion, saying, "Of course. Man, this is a tough one for me." Zoe eggs him on, mentioning, "C'mon, Liam! There's gotta be SOME period of time you'd be interested in." Mag wiggles her eyebrows & encourages by telling him, "Don't be shy!" Liam finally breaks out, saying, "I'm not! Okay, maybe the Renaissance time. Everything seemed... I dunno... romantic?" Zoe can only reply by saying, "Awww!", Mag calls it, "That's so sweet!", & the guys all laugh at his sensitivity. Behind them, Stick loses another round, & forces his hand out from Brick's with a strong pull. Brick overhears Liam's words, & brings them up to Stick, as he says, "Ehh, did you hear that?! That makes me sick!" Stick scoffs, "Romantic?! Heh! Get a load of that geek!" Brick tells his buddy, "Let's get out of here!", & the two quickly rush as far away from our heroes as they can waddle. Mag lets us know how her homework is going, as she says, "Okay, I finished all my math, my history... that means I just have.. English!" Her teammates/friends don't look too excited by her revelation.

Meanwhile, images of electric circuits & digital waves appear, implying that Lilithmon is off in some dimension in the Digital World or something. She's on her knees before a very creepy altar, made up two rock slabs, with a set of red crystals between it, & another blue set atop a platform above them. A large skull head is placed against that, with glowing humanoid eyeballs within it. The entire altar seems to glow with constant evil magic, fog & mist swarming all around the area, as well as flashes of lightning. This entire scene contradicts the earlier statement of the Ghost being Lilithmon's creation, as she seems to worship this entity like she did with Apocalymon back in season 1. She bows continuously & proclaims, "Oh, Ghost Of Darkness, my husband, Tactimon, has sent me before you." The skullhead talks in a deep, echoing voice, saying, "I heard about the wedding. What can I do for you, my evil child?" Lilithmon puts it bluntly, "Tactimon has come up with a ridiculous plan to get rid of those Digi-Brats by sending them back in time!" The Ghost Of Darkness tells her, "Wizardmon can carry that out. But as long as the leader leads them, you will never get rid of them completely." Lilithmon agrees, "My point exactly! You can send the DigiDestined back in time, send them to the moon, send them anywhere, but they always have their leader to lead them back!" She gets rowdy with her hands, gesturing them around, & causing red magic energy to course out from her palms as she says all this. The Ghost puts things straight, "Therefore, you must destroy the leader." Lilithmon exclaims, "At last! Somebody as intelligent as I am! How do we do it?" The Ghost Of Darkness explains, "The leader is quick-thinking, wise, & strong. He can only be defeated by another such as he. Wizardmon will get rid of the others & create the being who will finally destroy the leader." A huge flaming fireball streaks to the planet Earth, & lands rather incognativly in the bushes somewhere in Tokyo. The ball forms into the humanoid Digimon named Wizardmon, who exclaims, "Surprise, Seraphimon! I'm back!" They seem to be old rivals or something, but their history isn't elaborated upon. Wizardmon wears a long, crimson robe & cape, which covers his mouth. He also has a tiny wand in his possession, which has a skull on it resembling the Ghost Of Darkness. Lilithmon continues bowing before the Ghost, & cries, "Ghost Of Darkness, thank you! Tactimon's gonna love this!"

Wizardmon ducks down in the bushes, & laughs diabolically, as he awaits the arrival of two very strange individuals. It's Brick & Stick, who wander through the park. Brick tells his pal his latest scheme, "Okay, Stick. I've got an idea. From now on, we go to school every day & we try to get... an education!" Stick can't help but laugh in his trademark hyena-like manner. Brick appears serious on this idea, until the two of them bump into Wizardmon! He lets out a wicked chuckle, & tells them, "Look into my eyes!" His flame-colored eyes suddenly burst out two bolts of orange energy bolts. The both of which lock on to Brick & Stick's eyes, snaring them in a trance before they can react. The bumbling duo can only let their mouths go agape, as they're placed under Wizardmon's spell. He informs them, "You will do as I command!" Brick & Stick obey, speaking in unison in monotone, "Yes, Master." Wizardmon goes on to say, "You will go & seek a human named Alex, & bring me a sample of his hair, so that I may clone another of his image & strength!" He hands over a rather normal-looking pair of scissors to Brick, his arm glowing as he does this. Brick holds the scissors in his hand, & Stick, also obeying the same orders, holds his two of his own fingers outward like they were scissors as well. The now-mindless lackeys speak together again, "Yes, master!" Wizardmon orders them, "Now go!" They say once more, "Yes, master!", but remaining standing before him. He repeats himself, they repeat themselves, & he grows quite frustrated & angry. Aiming his wand at their feet & zapping some magic at them, Wizardmon causes both Brick & Stick to leap up into the air, as their legs are placed under what appears to be a walking spell, their legs leading their zombie-like bodies quickly through the park. Wizardmon watches them stumble away, & he shakes his head, sighing in disgust, "Humans."

Meanwhile, inside the Evil Moon Palace, Wisemon is wasting time mixing up some strange concoction in his workshop. Lilithmon enters & says in her usual loud scratchy voice, "Oh, Wisemon!" He turns his attention to her, as loyal as ever, asking, "Yes, my queen?" She tells him with an evil smile & maniacal glee, "I did it! Wizardmon is going to create another Alex!" Wisemon claps his hands together & exclaims, "Why, that's a brilliant idea, my queen!" Lilithmon concurs, "Yes! With our own little Alex, I can bring back Coredramon & defeat those Digi-Brats once & for all! A-ha-ha-ha!" It's so refreshing to not have to deal with a Lilithmon who's made up of the same stock footage shots over & over, isn't it? Back on Earth, Alex & Mag walk hand in hand over a small bridge in the park. He asks his girlfriend, "So, what are you up to this weekend?" She replies, "Well, the weather's so nice I might just sit outside & read a book! Want to join me?" Alex's all for it, telling her "yep", & the two laugh & smile, as they make their way over to a bench in the rather lovely plant decorated section of the city. Little do they know, that the zombified Brick & Stick are trailing behind them. Brick has the scissors cutting into the air wildly, & Stick does the same with his own two fingers. Alex asks his galpal, "So, what about me & you catch a movie later?" Mag turns him down, "Actually, you know what? I promised Zoe I'd go to the mall with her. Wanna go?" He's reluctant to shop, & gives a slight groan. Before he can answer, they both spot Brick & Stick crawling on the ground, trying in vain to sneak up on Alex. Mag cheerfully greets them, "Hi guys!" They rise up onto their knees, & stare at the DigiDestined teens, still in their spell state. Alex asks, "Are you guys okay?" The bumbling duo glance at each other with mindless faces, before saying in unison, "Yes, we're okay." They then quickly stand up & rush away from the scene before their plans can be further spoiled by questioning.

Alex looks at Mag & gestures his hand to his head in such a way to imply calling Brick & Stick crazy. She laughs heartily, especially when he tells her, "I worry about them sometimes." Brick & Stick haven't gone far, as they try sneaking up on him again, with the pair of pinking shears getting slowly closer to Alex's long locks. Alex's preoccupied with Mag, telling her, "Anyway, uhh, so you & Zoe are going to the mall, huh? So, uhh, I'm gonna go work out, & I'll meet you guys there." Just before Brick is about to trim off a piece of his hair, Alex snaps his body around & demands to know, "What are you guys doing?!" Brick hides the scissors under his armpit, & Stick presses his two fingers up against the lenses of his sunglasses, both trying to conceal their intentions. They reply to his demands by simply stating together, "Nothing." They then crawl on their knees away from the bench, leaving Alex shaking his head in confusion, & Mag wondering, "What was all that about?" Alex scoffs, "With those two, who knows!" Brick & Stick are back on their bedazzled feet, & stumbling off through the park, with Brick mumbling, "Must find the master!" Maggie appears to have lost her short term memory from this distraction, as she tells Alex, "Alright, well, I better go meet Zoe. You want to go?" Alex says roughly what he just told her again, "No, you know what? I gotta go work out. But I tell ya what, I'll meet ya there." He playfully slaps her hand, she giggles, & they bid goodbye to each other, going their separate ways. Alex ends up heading in the direction Brick & Stick went, & speaking of them, the bumbling duo wind up back where they started from. They march over to Wizardmon, standing before him without a single strand of Alex's hair. He scolds them, "You miserable, useless humans! Why do I have to do everything myself?!" Wizardmon aims his wand at Brick & Stick, apparently freeing them from both the servant & walking spells he placed earlier. They tumble over each other, & fall to the ground in a heap, knocked unconscious by the magical liberation.

Alex walks around the pond, says hello to a couple of passing girls, & continues on his merry way. He's alone when he ends up at the area where Wizardmon is hiding, the strange & evil Digimon popping up from the bushes in a flash of fire. He tells the surprised DigiDestined teen, "Ah-ha! Hello, Alex. I can't tell you what a pleasure it is to meet you!" As Wizardmon laughs wickedly, Alex remains frozen in his tracks, looking around alertly, & standing poised for battle the minute this odd Digimon makes the first move. On the moon, Tactimon is checking out the scene with his Tacti-Vision. He turns from the balcony & (with MadLeomon at his side) faces about six of his Claymon. Tactimon commands, "Excellent! Wizardmon has Alexander cornered. Claymon! Get down there, on the double!" Back down in the park, Wizardmon informs Alex, "I have something very special planned for you!" Alex finally snaps back to reality, & lifts his fist, pressing the button on his digivice. He calls out, "Seraphimon, Kokuwamon, come in! I need your help!" At the Command Center, Kokuwamon stares at the Viewing Globe & exclaims, "Ay-yi-yi! Alex's in trouble!" Seraphimon confirms, "Right, Kokuwamon. That's my old rival, Wizardmon." Kokuwamon gasps, "Oh dear! I had better call the other DigiDestined immediately." Seraphimon tells him to hurry, & Kokuwamon quickly presses a few buttons, before raising his hands into the air & lamenting, "Wizardmon! There's no telling what he'll do!" At the park, the Claymon are all lined up in two rows, with the sixth Claymon backflipping down the center. Alex spots their entrance, & instantly leaps into the air, launching himself into Digimon-less combat. He starts thrashing his legs into a lone Claymon, knocking it down, & awaiting battle with the rest of them.

Elsewhere, back near the school, Nicky, Liam, & Cody are still sitting at the outdoor table. Liam remarks, "Well, this isn't a bad assignment, but I can think of a lot more fun things to do on a three-day weekend." Cody smiles & nods, hopefully realizing that since they'll probably all be done with the homework by the time the three-day weekend finally starts tomorrow. Their digivices go off, & with a precautionary peek to their surroundings to be sure no one is watching, Nicky answers the call, "Kokuwamon, what's going on?" Kokuwamon replies, "Teleport to the park! Alex's in trouble!" Liam asks, "What about Maggie & Zoe?" Kokuwamon answers, "I'll contact them. Hurry!" The three seem a bit reluctant, silently questioning Kokuwamon's signal, for good reasons. Remember, in the three-part episode The Wedding, Kokuwamon had gone evil & sent the team into a trap. They take a leap of faith, trusting the robot Digimon's guidance, & picking up their backpacks before rushing off to find a more secluded area to teleport out of. At the CC, Kokuwamon tells Seraphimon, "The DigiDestined are on their way, Seraphimon!" He states, "They must be careful, Kokuwamon. Wizardmon has the power to create illusions that become reality." Kokuwamon raises his hands again & cries, "Oh, this is terrible!" The five remaining DigiDestined teens teleport to the park & are greeted by several Claymon X. Mag fights a couple of Claymon at once, concluding the shot by kicking one into a chainlink fence. Alex rips into a gang of Claymon near a large electric windmill. Nicky does an impossible backflip into the air, & lands just in time to start knocking Claymon around. He concludes that by grabbing one & tossing it into the air. Speaking of which, Alex is towering above a downed Claymon, about to punch its X marking, when another snatches him from behind, & sends him hurling off into the distance. Alex doesn't just fly across the field, he literally spins vertically like a human tornado, his feet just inches off the ground, before dropping to the grass harshly. He shakes off the attack, hops back on his feet, & rushes back into battle.

Elsewhere, Cody takes on a few Claymon, mostly tossing kicks around, before concluding his sparring match with the claybrains by throwing a jump kick into one of them. Zoe does a reverse footage backwards leap onto a treestump, before launching herself into the air & kicking two Claymon in the upper chest at once. She lands, kicks them down again, knocks another down as well, & stands triumphantly, with a stern glare in her eyes as she searches out whoever else wants some butt whooping. Over near a hill, which appears to be just below a roadway, Alex kicks a Claymon to the ground. Distracted by this, two other Claymon grab his arms from behind, & hold the DigiDestined teen firmly in place. Liam isn't far away, but is quite busy with some of the clay drones, kicking & spinning his body around in a large green field. He finishes things up with a kick to an X, causing the first & only Claymon destruction in the entire episode. Alex struggles between the grasp of the two Claymon, unaware that Wizardmon has teleported himself to the top of the hill behind him. Wizardmon merely laughs as he aims his wand at Alex, & floods his body with his evil, orange, glowing sorcery. Alex falls onto his back, his feet kicked out from under him by the Claymon, who then pin his arms down as he seems to lose consciousness. Wizardmon orders the Claymon (who are crouched atop him with their hands on their waists, acting quite tough) to, "Bring me a lock of his hair!" The last Claymon that was knocked over finally recovers, & pulls the pair of magic scissors from out of his back. He hops over to where Alex is lying, & proceeds to trim out a small, but rather thick, chunk of his black hair. They seem to also repair his hair, as anytime we see him later, it looks completely untouched by any unprofessional evil digi-barbers. The Claymon follows Wizardmon's orders & brings the lock of Alex's hair to him, prompting Wizardmon to take it into his possession with a rather twisted laugh as a result. Wizardmon teleports away with his new prize, as do the three Claymon, who do a little dance of joy before vanishing from the scene.

Alex slowly awakens from his first physical defeat in ages, just as his teammates wander over & witness the stunning sight. Mag gasp, "Oh no, look!", as she's the first to notice him. Zoe is also shocked, asking, "What happened to him?!" Liam & Nicky are the first to rush to his side, with Liam asking, "Alex! Are you okay?!" Alex groggily arises, rubbing the back of his head & saying, "Yeah... I think so." Nicky thinks, "I think we'd better contact Seraphimon." Cody agrees, "Yeah, & maybe he can tell us who that shady-faced dude was!" Mag adds, "Yeah, & why he seems to be after Alex." Alex shrugs his shoulders, & rubs his bare arms, at a loss for why he was targeted. At the Command Center, Kokuwamon is in front of the Viewing Globe, noting, "Wizardmon disappeared as quickly as he appeared!" Seraphimon informs him, "This is not over yet, Kokuwamon. Unfortunately, all we can do is wait." The good-natured robot Digimon sighs, "Ohh. I just HATE waiting!" Had he been doing his usual job of scanning the area, he might be able to find out where Wizardmon went to. We see that Wizardmon has flame-aported over to a small mound of grass, where he growls evilly & tosses the small knotted lock of Alex's hair to the ground. He then aims his Ghost Of Darkness wand at it, & charges the hair with bluish magic. Instantly, the hair sprouts off a human body, an exact duplicate of Alexander! Well, almost exact, as his clothes are quite different from what the real one had on a few minutes ago. He has a green bandanna over his head & a green tanktop on with black pants (compared to the real Alex's loose hanging hair, white long-sleeved shirt, & blue jeans). The Alex clone opens his eyes, & they flash with energy, as he grunts for the first time. Wizardmon greets him, "Welcome to your new reality! From now on, you are Alex, protector & companion of the Great Digimon Coredramon! You shall follow ALL of my commands." The Alex Clone arises from the ground & faces his creator, promising, "I am here to serve you, Wizardmon." The evil Wizard Digimon replies, "Now, here is what I want you to do....!"
