Opening Narration

 * Narrator: For a long time, Neil and Ludomon have been accompanying their friends but never getting much done, especially on their own. However, it would seem that now is the time for them to finally be in the spotlight. Now, if they escape the simulation again, there’s going to be problems…

Part One
(The scene is the Mystery Shack, where Neil and Ludomon are playing checkers while Norman and Vi-Elecmon are watching)

Neil: (Neil moves a black piece up) Hey, Ludomon. I’ve been meaning to ask you a question.

Ludomon: Of course, Neil. What’s wrong? Is it that issue you were having the day Wizardmon turned good? (Neil nods) I see. I’m certain you’ll do something particularly special soon. (Ludomon turns to Norman and Vi-Elecmon) Wybie isn’t the only one needing a confidence boost, it seems.

Norman: Ludomon is right. Tell you what, how about a few of us do some exploring?

Neil: Sure, but there’s another thing on my mind. Wybie talked about this town being fake. Are all the townspeople fake, too? (Norman, Ludomon and Vi-Elecmon begin thinking about what Neil was saying)

Ludomon: That is some deep thinking you’re doing, Neil.

Neil: What if everyone here is a simulation? I could be a simulation. You could be simulation. Honestly, I can’t get my mind off of this.

Norman: You need to stop thinking about this. Think about something more constructive, like finding a way out of this fake town. We need— (Norman starts glowing and has a blank stare on his face)

Vi-Elecmon: Uh, Norman? Are you—

???: Listen well, Neil. (Neil and Ludomon look at Norman with confusion)

Neil: That voice is definitely not Norman’s.

Ludomon: Who are you?

Homeostasis: I am known as Homeostasis. I am a host computer who seeks to assist you and your friends in defeating the evil responsible you keeping you here. I have a task for you and Ludomon. You and your eight friends need your digimon to have access to their Champion forms. (Coraline and Bearmon walk by)

Bearmon: Oh, hey— Woah!!

Coraline: What’s going on?! (Coraline rushes into Ford’s lab) Everyone! Something’s up with Norman! (Everyone rushes to Norman. Magnamon raises right hand)

Magnamon: Stand back. I’ll check if—

Homeostasis: Magnamon, one of thirteen Royal Knights and protector of the Digital World, be silent. You and the others must hear my advice. Now that you all know the truth of where you are, you will be watched more closely by those who seek to trap you in Project Gravitas. Those in charge of the simulation captured your human friends and family to punish you for escaping it. You cannot afford to lose your other companions, and they know this. Otherwise, their show will end. Round up your remaining friends, Tapirmon especially. If the ninth bearer of the Digi-Phone is to have her digimon partner, he must be found.

Coraline: Wait a minute. Are you talking about Agatha?

Homeostasis: Indeed. She is vital to keeping the virus inside of Tapirmon incapable of corrupting him. Neil and Ludomon will be the ones to retrieve him and the one called Togemogumon. You don’t have long, so get going. (Norman stops glowing and he falls to the floor, but gets back up with help from his friends)

Norman: What happened?

Monodramon: Something incredibly strange!

Ludomon: Something called Homeostasis took control of you and told us to look for Togemogumon and Tapirmon. It also said that Tapirmon is supposed to be Agatha’s digimon partner.

Wizardmon: Neil, whatever this Homeostasis is, I think we should trust it. Tapirmon knows me, so I might be able to draw him out. Coraline, as leader of the Mystery Tamers, do you think is a good idea? (Coraline thinks for a moment)

Coraline: Yeah, but who’s going to look for Togemogumon? (Coraline rapidly shakes her head as if realizing what she is saying) Hold up! We need to be very cautious for a moment. What if this is all part of Project Gravitas?

Magnamon: I’m not sure, Coraline, but what gets me is this mentioning of “Royal Knights” and I’m somehow one of them. I’m a Royal Knight?

WarGreymon: They sound tough like us, right, MetalGarurumon?

MetalGarurumon: Maybe. My animal instinct are telling me to be wary of Homeostasis.

WayGreymon: Well, mine are making me agree with that strange fellow. (WayGreymon points to Wizardmon)

Wizardmon: My name is Wizardmon.

WarGreymon: Yes, him.

Lili: This screams trap to me. All in favor of ignoring Homeostasis, raise your hand. (Nobody raises their hand) All opposed, raise your hand. (Nobody raises their hand again) Oh, come on. Everyone is still undecided? (Coraline begins giving the matter more thought)

Coraline: I made my decision. We trust Homeostasis.

Lili: That thing is clearly leading us into a trap, Coraline. What you’re suggesting is going to get us killed!

Coraline: No, it won’t, Lili! We need all the help we can get now that Ford and the other adults are missing. This could be our best chance to find a way out of this simulation.

Wybie: Oh no…

Raz: They’re going to fight again. (Coraline and Lili start arguing again)

Zubamon: Anyone up for popcorn?

Ludomon: There’s a time and a place for jokes, Zubamon, and this isn’t it. (Norman’s Digi-Phone begins ringing and Agatha appears, ending the argument Coraline and Lili were having)

Agatha: Agumon and Gabumon have detected something strange that just in town.

Coraline: We have a ton to tell you about, Agatha.

Agatha: It’ll have to wait! According to Agumon, while we were sleeping, the town had some new buildings added! In other words, the simulation was updated! (Everyone looks surprised. The scene transitions to the Gleeful Mansion, where Eyesmon and Gideon were talking about something)

Gideon: Hookmon and Diatrymon told me about the town being fake. Seeing as you’ve probably alluding to this for ages, I’d like to know about how long you’ve known about this. Tell me everything!

Eyesmon: You’re asking me about this now?

Gideon: I tried asking you about it yesterday, but you dodged the question!

Eyesmon: I’ve known since practically the start, Gideon. Unfortunately, I don’t know everything about who is behind all of this! It’s been gnawing on my mind for weeks! The only thing I do know is that there is someone or something called “Analogman” and I think he is behind all of this! I don’t know if this is a human, an AI, or even some kind of digimon, and it’s driving nuts! (Eyesmon calms himself down) Look, if you must know, I’ve been monitoring and researching things from the basement. If there’s anything that can crush Analogman, I’ll find it. Also, speaking of researching, I found out that the simulation got updated last night. I don’t know you, but I think we should test the Digital Forger on one of the toys Wizardmon got for us. (Gideon chuckles and heads to a portrait of himself. He moves the portrait and reveals a vault, which, after a special code is typed into a machine, opens the vault up and takes out a bull toy)

Gideon: I think this will do. (Gorillamon walks by holding a mirror. He combs his hair and notices Gideon and Eyesmon)

Gorillamon: Making a new minion, I see.

Gideon: Indeed, Gorillamon. You, Fangmon and Roachmon need to accompany it and make sure it doesn’t end up like Lynxmon or a Tylomon. Have him hunt those brats!

Gorillamon: I most certainly will, sir. I’ll finally prove that I’m better than Chrysalimon!

Eyesmon: You go and make sure the new digimon gets sent out. (Eyesmon turns around and grins menacingly) I have somewhere to go… (The scene transitions to the outside of the Mystery Shack, where Neil and the others are getting ready to leave for town)

Agatha: I still can’t believe it. I’m going to have a digimon partner soon!

Coraline: That depends on if we can find Tapirmon.

Wizardmon: With me around, Tapirmon will join us.

Coraline: I hope you’re right, Wizardmon. Neil, are you and Ludomon ready?

Neil: Yeah. I have a backpack full of snacks in case our Digimon run into trouble.
