Opening Narration
Narrator: For awhile now, Wybie has been training in the art of swordplay. Of course, he’s not particularly good at it on his own, but with Zubamon with him, he has the guidance he needs to get out of jams. Little does he know that he’s going to need a lot more than Zubamon’s guidance to get through what’s coming up next…

Part One
(The scene is outside of the Mystery Shack, where Wybie is practicing sword fighting while Zubamon is watching)

Wybie: (Wybie rapidly swings at a boxing bag hanging from a tree branch) How was that, Zubamon?

Zubamon: You need more finesse! Wildly swinging will get you and your friends hurt, now focus!

Wybie: Got it.

Zubamon: Oh, and remain in a fighting stance! Now begin! (Coraline and Bearmon exit the Mystery Shack and see Wybie practicing sword fighting) Wybie, if this were a battle, you’d be down for the count in twenty seconds.

Coraline: Hey, Wybie. (Wybie becomes startled for a brief second and looks toward Coraline)

Wybie: Hey, Jonesy. I’m just practicing swordsmanship.

Zubamon: Yeah, and without me, you’re clumsy.

Wybie: Hey!

Zubamon: Look, I’m just trying to make you tougher, Wybie. You’ll need me to coach you.

Wybie: I know. Anyway, what’s up, Coraline?

Coraline: I just wanted to see you train. It’s not everyday when your best friend becomes Sir Galahad.

Wybie: Me? I feel more like I turn into Don Quixote than anyone else. (Coraline and Wybie start chuckling)

Coraline: You’re not like Don Quixote, Wybie. Trust me. (Coraline smirks) You know, when you’re done training, Dipper wanted to show us something. The rest of us will be waiting in the living room.

Bearmon: How about we watch Wybie train? We can give him advice.

Zubamon: That’s my job! (Everyone starts laughing)

Wybie: Look, it’ll be taking awhile for me to finish training.

Zubamon: No kidding.

Wybie: Do you have to be like that?

Zubamon: Yup. (Norman walks outside with Vi-Elecmon following him)

Norman: Dipper wants to know what’s taking so long.

Vi-Elecmon: Yeah, it’s urgent!

Wybie: It looks like I’ll have to cut my training short for now. Let’s go, everyone. (Zubamon begrudgingly follows everyone inside. Dipper is impatiently waiting for Wybie and the others to arrive in the living room. Coraline and the others arrive)

Dipper: What took you so long?! This is important!

Wybie: I needed to train with Zubamon.

Mabel: We just found something completely bonkers!

Dipper: Wybie, I need you to place your hand on the lid of that box.

Wybie: The one Wizardmon and Magnamon found?

Dipper: Yup.

Kotemon: It’s freaky. (Wybie places his hand on the box’s lid and nothing happens)

Wybie: What was supposed to happen?

Norman: Try slowly doing a karate chop. (Wybie slowly performed a karate chop and his hand went through the lid)

Wybie: WOAH!!

Zubamon: What did I just see?!

Bearmon: It’s like your hand is a ghost or something!

Coraline: Really, Bearmon?

Bearmon: What? It could happen.

Dipper: I was trying to lift open the box when my hand went through the lid. It looks like I’m not the only one this happens to.

Wybie: It’s like a video game glitch!

Dipper: Yeah, it looks like one. It seems that it’s not just our memories that we’re altered, but certain objects in and around the town are things we could move through, too. This could actually be a benefit depending on the situation, so we shouldn’t be too concerned. Either way, reality seems to be getting stranger and stranger.

Coraline: Fascinating, isn’t it, Wybie?

Wybie: You better believe it, Jonesy.

Neil: This is making me nervous. What if we walk somewhere and fall through the ground?

Coraline: We shouldn’t worry about it too much, Neil. Has anyone seen Soos and Stan anywhere?

Mabel: Grunkle Stan would love to see something like this. (The team starts to get a bit nervous)

Raz: Maybe their looking for a way to fix the theater.

Lili: I doubt it. That thing got too dilapidated after the Kabukimon incident. Stan got pretty mad about it. I’m pretty sure nobody is ever going to use it again.

Coraline: Great. We have two things to deal with today. Raz, you and Muchomon alert Ford and the others. Dipper, see if anything else besides that box has that same “putting your hand through solid matter” problem.

Wybie: Actually, I had an idea of my own. (Coraline turns to Wybie)

Coraline: Really? What is it?

Wybie: As the group’s mechanic, I’ve been building something with Agumon and Monodramon’s help. It’s in the attic.

Zubamon: How come I never heard about this?!

Wybie: I was saving it for a surprise. Follow me. (The team follows Wylie up the attic and find a small, handheld machine while Raz and Muchomon went to the lab) Well, here it is.

Coronamon: Woah! What does it do?!

Wybie: Well, it’s supposed to attach itself to our Digi-Phones and act as a power amplifier. That way, our digimon get to become stronger. There’s just one problem.

Coraline: What’s wrong?

Wybie: I can’t find a suitable battery for it. I tried the regular kind, but it drained within seconds. Agumon tried getting Ford to make a battery for it, but he’s been too busy to help.

Coraline: We’ll just have to wait until Ford has some free time. (Raz and Muchomon reach the attic)

Raz: Ford and the others already know Stan and Soos vanished. Ford is going to go look for him while Oleander and the other continue their research.

Coraline: Got it. (Wybie notices storm clouds looming in the distance outside of the attic window)

Wybie: Looks like a rainstorm is brewing. Ford better get back with Soos and Stan soon. (The scene transitions to a large indoor pool located in the mansion of Gideon Gleeful, where he, Hookmon, Diatrymon and one other digimon are being given their orders)

Hookmon: You wanted to see us, Captain?

Gideon: Stop calling me a captain, Hookmon! Look, I need you and Diatrymon to look after my latest digimon creation while he’s busy erupting the Mystery Tamers apart.

Diatrymon: And where would that new henchman be? I wanna say hi. (A large, reptilian creature swims to the surface of the pool)

Gideon: This is Tylomon. He’s going to be following your orders while hunting Dipper and his friends, Hookmon. Be sure to give him plenty of digimon to feed on.

Hookmon: Indeed, I shall, Captain.

Gideon: I said stop calling me that!

Hookmon: Oh. Sorry about that.

Gideon: Oh, and take care of Dipper personally. I want to see him reduced to a puddle!

Hookmon: Yes, sir!! (Roachmon nervously enters the room with Fangmon and Gorillamon following him in)

Gideon: Oh good, you’re here!

Roachmon: Y-you wanted to s-see me, boss?

Gideon: This mission is really important, so pay attention! Eyesmon has been acting really suspicious lately. He always brings Witchmon and Chrysalimon to the basement. The only two who should be down there are me and Eyesmon! I need you to eavesdrop on their conversations and tell me what they’re planning! If Eyesmon is planning to get rid of me, then tell me! I will not let my Digimon turn against me!

Roachmon: You can count o-on me, sir! But what if they see me?!

Gorillamon: I don’t know why you’re sending this insect to do spy stuff, boss. I’m a far more capable Digimon than he is.

Gideon: He’s sneakier than the rest of us, Gorillamon. He’ll find out what we need to know. (Gideon turns toward Hookmon) Everyone has their orders, now follow them! Now!! (Hookmon salutes Gideon as Tylomon growls. The scene transitions to the Mystery Shack, where Wybie and Zubamon are looking out a window to watch the rain)

Zubamon: Any luck on finding a battery for that invention of yours?

Wybie: No. Ford and the others are always so busy that nothing got done yet. Researching Agatha’s situation is taking up lots of their time.

Zubamon: No kidding!
