User:Fractyl/Digimon Tamers Scripts/Episode 41

The comm device flashes zero.

Takato: There she is, our one way ticket home.

The wind blows.

Takato: What’s that?

Takato looks over and sees a dust storm blowing their way, so he covers his eyes and the arc gets blown into a mountain side a few fete away.

Guilmon: I hope it doesn’t blow our arc away.

Suzie is trying to cover from the dust storm and Henry picks her, Terriermon, and Lopmon up.

Henry: It’s okay Suzie.

He puts Suzie, Terriermon and Lopmon aboard the arc.

Henry: Everyone hurry up and get on!

Kenta: Jeri, come on. You gotta get up.

Takato looks over and sees Jeri holding her sock puppet staring blankly.

Kazu: Guardromon, a little help.

Guardromon: Of course!

He picks up Jeri.

Henry: Let’s go! The arc could leave any minute!

The arc’s track starts to retract.

Takato: But wait! There’s still no sign of Rika!

Guilmon: Takato, get on!

The arc readies to leave but Cyberdramon holds on to it.

Takato: In a minute.

Guilmon: Then I’m coming down.

Takato: No!

Guilmon: Oh...

Henry helps Ryo on.

Takato: You promised Dad you’d go home remember? He’s making you a big batch of Guilmon bread.

Takato looks out for Rika.

Guilmon: Yeah...

Takato (thinking): Rika, where are you?

In the farther part of the physical layer Kyubimon is running with Rika and Impmon.

Kyubimon: Impmon was right...we are out of our teeny, tiny minds.

Rika: We’ll make it.

Kyubimon: Not at the rate I’m crawling along. I need more strength!

She jumps into the air.

Rika: I have just the pick-me-up.

Rika pulls out a card.

Kyubimon: Alright!

Back at the arc Jeri is moving her sock puppet’s mouth.

Calumon: Hello? Hey Jeri what’s the matter? Oh why won’t you say anything to me, huh?

Kazu: Yeah kid, are you okay?

Kenta: We’ll be home soon, Jeri.

Calumon: Yeah, sooner than soon.

The arc starts to leave.

All: Huh?

Suzie: We’re moving! We’re moving!

Henry: Come on!

Guilmon: Hurry Takato!

Takato starts to run for the arc.

Takato: But they’re not here yet!

Terriermon: Henry, don’t you think we’d better go look for them?

Henry: Yeah.

Ryo: No, I’ll get them.

Takato: Huh?

Ryo: Cyberdramon.

Cyberdramon growls and they fly away.

Ryo: We’ll be back before ya know it!

Henry: Be careful!

Kazu: Rika is messing up the program, that is so like her.

Takato trips and falls.

Takato: Ow!

Guilmon: Oh no! Takato!

The arc starts to fly higher.

Henry: How do we stop this thing?

Terriermon: We gotta find the brakes.

Guilmon: Arc! Come on stop!

Terriermon: Or we could just yell at it.

Guilmon: Arc, please! Takato’s not on yet! We can’t leave! Stop it!

Kenta: Guilmon, you do realize you’re talking to a boat?

Kazu: Takato, try and jump on!

Takato gets up.

Takato: Okay!

Henry: This isn’t good.

In the Hypnos Building they can see the arc’s track on the screen.

Yamaki: This is excellent! Look, the arc is it’s heading back.

Janyu: Mm hm, let’s just hope the children are on board.

Riley: Arc trajectory confirmed, calculating emergents point.

Tally: The track beam is strong and stable. Energy resource at 60%.

In the computer lab Dolphin is working on the computer.

Dolphin: It’s working! My little baby’s coming home thanks to the centralized computer. Hot dog, I do believe I am a genius.

Babble: Hey genius, got the next calculations?

Dolphin: Piece of cake.

In Rika’s house her mom and Grandma are on the computer and they get an email.

Rika’s Grandma: Thank you very much. Phase one successful. Next, please proceed with the remaining calculations. All right.

She clicks the OK and it downloads something.

Rika’s Grandma: With everyone all over the world helping, we’ll get Rika back in no time.

Rumiko: Oh Rika, please be on that arc.

Back in the Digital World, Takato’s running to get back on the arc after he couldn’t grab Henry’s hand.

Henry: No! Keep running! You can do it!

Guilmon: Takato!

Takato falls behind.

Guilmon: Takato!

Henry: Careful Guilmon, you’ll fall!

Guilmon does fall but Henry garbs him and falls too so Guardromon grabs him.

Guardromon: Not if I can help it!

Terriermon: Moumantai, we’re coming!

Guilmon grabs Terriermon’s ear and Lopmon hangs onto Lopmon’s and Calumon grabs onto Lopmon’s ear to make a chain for Takato grab on. He does grab Calumon.

Takato: It’s working!

Terriermon: Good thing my ears are cramping!

Takato: Huh?

He sees Calumon can’t hold him.

Takato: Oh no! Calumon!

Takato let’s go but Calumon re-grabs him but he falls too.

Takato and Calumon: Ah!

Guilmon: Arc! You gotta stop! Please! Listen to me! Stop!

In the Hypnos Building the arc’s tracks stop.

Yamaki: What? What’s going on?

Janyu: What on earth’s happening? Why did the arc stop?

Yamaki: Get Dolphin! Now!

Back in the Digital World the arc stopped and Takato runs under it.

Takato: Hey look it stopped. But why?

All: Come on Takato!

From behind the dust.

Ryo: Hey! Wait for us!

Takato: Hm?

Ryo: Hey!

Takato: Is that who I think it is?

Rika and Kyubimon ride up. While Ryo and Cyberdramon fly up.

Ryo: Look what the cat dragged in!

Takato: Rika! Hm, hm, alright Rika! I knew you’d make it!

Back in the Hypnos Building, Dolphin’s checking something.

Curly: What’s going on here Daisy?

Daisy: I’m not sure, but it seems as if the arc’s artificial intelligence is somehow acting on its own.

On the screen Yamaki appears.

Yamaki: The arc’s not responding Dolphin! Has the program gone renegade?

Dolphin: Impossible! I wrote that AI program myself!

Yamaki: Think! Where did you get the code from?

Dolphin: If memory serves from the Digimon Core Program!

He runs and gets the files and clears the table for it. He then flips through the pages.

Dolphin: I used the same artificial life program that we used to create the digimon to power the arc. It’s the only way I could get the machine to work. Here this is it! But even so, this shouldn’t have caused the arc to think for itself.

Back in the Digital World Rika holds out her hand.

Rika: Hey there, need a lift?

Takato: Yeah!

She grabs Takato’s hand and she pulls him aboard.

Rika: Going up?

Kyubimon jumps aboard the arc and de-digivolves as she enters.

Cyberdramon flies up next and de-digivolves to his rookie, Monodramon and he lands on everyone.

All: Ah...

The arc closes and starts up again.

Kazu: Well Ms. Tardy what do you have to say for yourself?

Rika: Sorry.

Kazu sees Impmon in her arms.

Kazu: Hm, it’s him. Rika, are you out of your chicken fried mind? You went back to save Impmon?

Rika: Mm hm.

Kazu: Well, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, you’re crazier than catfish.

Guardromon: Crazier than catfish.

Kazu turns around.

Kazu: Hm? Hey, come up with your own line!

Kazu hears something and listens for it and Guardromon copies.

Kenta: Huh? Um guys.

A glowing object comes out of Kenta’s pocket.

Kenta: A digivice!

The D-power is followed by MarineAngemon.

MarineAngemon: Well, hello, hello!

Kenta: MarineAngemon, I get it. You’re my tamer, I mean my partner! And you’re a mega! That makes me a tamer to a mega! Oh, I think I’m gonna faint.

Outside the arc a digi-gnome flies by giggling.

Henry: Amazing! I wonder how he ended up in Kenta’s pocket.

As the arc rises the digi-gnome floats down giggling and waving.

Kazu: I’m amazed he’s still breathing. Have you seen what Kenta keeps in his pockets?

Inside the arc Rika is still holding Impmon.

Impmon (thinking): She shoulda left me...after what I did.

Kazu tries to touch MarineAngemon but Kenta pulls him away.

Kenta: Hey!

Kazu: Kenta, I just wanna touch him.

Kenta: Nu uh! You’re just trying to freak him out.

Kazu: Come on!

Kenta: Back off nosey!

Impmon (thinking): I don’t deserve to be here. Don’t they know that?

Rika: Would you clowns knock it off!

Kenta: You can’t boss me around, I am a tamer. Neh!

Back in the Hypnos Building they see the arc is back on track.

Janyu: It’s moving! What did we do?

Yamaki: There’s nothing we can do, but wait. And hope it doesn’t change its mind again.

Riley: The arc’s progress has resumed. Re-calculating route coordinates.

In the computer lab Yamaki’s scientists are running around like crazy.

Dolphin: You can do it, keep on trucking arc. Just a little more. All those kids are depending on you to bring them home. Oh no the track’s off course, by 12.4 degrees!

Babble: Hey no sweat, I’ll take care of it!

Daisy: Listen up! Someone has to tell the children’s parents that the emergents point has changed. It’s now in the middle of Shinjuku Park.

She tacks the point on a map of the city.

Back in the Digital World the arc is breaking through the barriers to earth.

Guilmon: And then Takato’s Dad said he’d bake a bread that looks just like me. I don’t know how he’s gonna do that cause I don’t look anything like a loaf of bread. Well maybe when I curl up for a nap.

Takato: Guilmon who are you talking to?

Guilmon: The arc, silly.

Takato: What? The arc?

Guilmon: Well why not? It’s a real good listener Takato, I asked it to stop when you couldn’t get on and it did.

Takato: So that’s what happened.

He his hand on the glowing red screen.

Takato: Well, if you can hear me, thank you arc.

Takato (thinking): If it wasn’t for you we’d be doing the back stroke in a sea of Chaos by now, instead of going home.

Takato: Huh?

He looks over at Jeri in the corner with her sock puppet.

Takato (thinking): Oh Jeri, we’ll get you back. I promise.

Rika puts her hand on the puppet.

Rika: Don’t worry Jeri, we’re almost home.

Takato: Oh.

Rika: Hang in there, kay?

Ryo: So, tell me something Rika.

She looks at Ryo.

Ryo: What do I get for saving your life, not once but twice? Hm?

Rika: How bout twice the whoopin’?

She puts her fiat to his face, playfully, then takes it off.

Ryo: Yeah right, you wish.

Rika and Ryo both laugh. Henry looks at Impmon. And the arc suddenly stops.

Kenta: Why do I get the feeling this isn’t just turbulence?

Chaos bubbles rise to the arc.

Henry: What’s happening?

Guilmon: Um, it looks like the light track is disappearing. What does that mean Takato?

Takato: Huh? Well, I think it means we’re in trouble!

The com device’s screen has a red dot in the center and the arc’s inside is flashing red and making an alarm.

Takato: Huh? What now? We’re hanging in the middle of nowhere. Ugh, what else could go wrong?

Suzie: Uh Henry, it sounds like we’re falling.

Lopmon pries herself out of Suzie’s grasp.

Lopmon: I think the arc has lost all of its strength.

Kazu: Aw man, when things go wrong. We’ll never get outta here.

Kenta: But we were so close.

Henry: With the tracks gone the arc won’t be able to find its way back home.

Takato: Arc, can you hear me?

All: Huh?

Takato: I know you can hear me, please you’ve gotta help us. You’re our only chance of getting out of here. Just a little further and we’ll be home. Our parents are depending on you, please help us.

From the red sphere in front of Takato two cables come out and attach themselves to the com device and email Takato.

Takato: Huh?

The message reads OK and Takato makes a sigh of relief.

Takato: Thanks.

Guilmon: I told you, it’s a real good listener.

All: Huh?

From the outside of the arc it starts to fire up and heads up and in the back it starts to disappear from the Chaos.

Henry: Everybody hold onto something!

Kenta: Guys, the arc! It’s starting to disappear!

The arc shoots up past the barriers to earth.

Kazu: Hey arc! Dude, you get us outta this and I will hand wash you every day of the week! Vacuum your insides, you name it!

Kenta: MarineAngemon, I’ll miss you.

From the front window a blinding light makes the tamers cover their eyes.

Takato (thinking): Come on arc, you can do it. I know you can.

In the Real World everything’s calm in Shinjuku Park until the arc starts to come out of the pond. Yamaki’s men and the kid’s parents are driving to the Park.

In the park a bright light beam shoots out of the pond and the cars stop in front of the sidewalk and everyone gets out.

Janyu: That’s normal right?

Yamaki: That depends on how you define normal, Janyu.

The parents and Yamaki’s agents all run to the pond in time to see the arc come through.

People: Uh...

The tamers and digimon slowly walk out of the arc and they stop, the light fades away and the kids look at their parents.

Rika: Hm.

Terriermon giggles.

Suzie waves, Kazu looks at them, Kenta cries, and Ryo gives a thumbs up.

Ryo: Hm, hm. Hm.

They all run to their parents, except for Jeri.

Yamaki takes off his sunglasses.

Takato’s Mom hug him and Dad pets Guilmon.

Rika’s mom hugs her.

Henry and Suzie are hugged.

Kenta and his mom cry as they hug as his dad looks ticked at Kenta.

Kazu’s Dad pushes down his head and Guardromon is scared of Kazu’s Dad while his mom cries.

Ryo stands there next to his Dad who is looking away and Monodramon stares.

Impmon sees everyone else with loved ones.

Impmon (thinking): I told them that I don’t belong.

He walks away.

Rika is wrapped in a blanket, drinking hot cocoa and sees Impmon walk in the Park.

Rika: Huh? Impmon...

Riley: I just found Jeri’s parents, they’re staying with relatives in East Matsumoto.

Yamaki: So when will they be here?

Riley: That’s the thing, they won’t.

Takato is drinking hot cocoa too and hears it.

Takato: Huh?

Riley: You see, her father said she left on her own so she could come back on her own.

Takato: Uh.

Takato looks over at Jeri who is in a blanket being attended by Yamaki’s men.

Riley: We could send one of our operatives to take her there, but to be alone...the poor thing.

Takato: Wait, I’ll take her home!

Yamaki: Hm?

Riley: Huh?

Takato’s Mm: Wha?

Takato: Listen to me, Jeri’s all by herself. She needs to be with someone she knows right now.

Takato’s Dad: But...Takato, that’s so far away.

Takato’s Mom: Honey, let him go.

Takato’s Dad: Really?

Takato: Really?

Takato’s Mom: Well it’s not like we won’t know where you are this time. Besides we trust you.

Takato: Hm.

Takato’s Dad: My little boy’s all grown up.

Takato looks over at Jeri and sees Rika put another blanket on her.

Takato’s Mom: Now remember Takato, as soon as you’ve gotten Jeri home safely go straight to your aunt’s house. We’ll be waiting for you. Is...that okay?

Takato: Mm hm, yeah Mom, thanks.

Yamaki punches in something on his laptop.

Yamaki: All right then, the streets out of Shinjuku are closed off so you’ll have to take train.

A crash happens and they all see the arc being pulled back down.

Dolphin: Oh no! The arc! It’s disintegrating! My baby!

Takato: Goodbye arc.

Takato (thinking): And thank you.

The arc fully disappears.

Guilmon: Aw, I feel like I’ve lost a friend.

Takato: Me too boy.

At the train station Guilmon is nervously looking out the car.

Guilmon: Oh, oh. Time to go but no Takato. Why does this keep happening?

Takato: Hold on! Coming through!

Takato runs into the train car carrying lunchboxes and Calumon flying next to him.

Guilmon: I was worried, it was like the arc all over again. Except I can’t tell the train to stop.

Takato: There’s no need to.

The door closes.

Guilmon: Ooh, who’s the extra lunchbox for?

Takato: Guilmon.

Guilmon: Just asking.

The door to the car opens and Takato, Guilmon and Calumon enter and stand there.

Takato: Uh, hey Jeri.

Guilmon stand behind Takato scared.

Jeri just stares at them.

Takato: Uh...

Ticket guy: Ah! There’s a monster on board!

Takato: Huh?

Ticket guy: Ah, stay back! I know jujitsu!

Takato: Wait! It’s okay, I paid for him!

He shows the tickets.

Takato: I know he’s kinda big, so I got him an adult ticket.

Ticket guy: Who cares about the ticket? That thing’s a digimon, right? And digimon are dangerous, that monster should be in a cage!

Takato: You take that back! He’s a good digimon and don’t call him a monster he’s very sensitive! Right?

Guilmon: Yeah.

Ticket guy: Ha, what do you think I am? Dumb or something?

Takato: No.

Ticket guy: Hm, that thing is a natural born menace.

Takato: Well Guilmon’s a baby, he couldn’t hurt a fly.

Guilmon: I’m not a baby, I’ll show you. Guilmon digivolve!

Takato knocks Guilmon to the ground.

Takato: Guilmon cut it out! This isn’t helping!

Guilmon: But I’m not a baby! Let me show ’em!

Ticket guy: I told you he’s a menace to society!

They heard Guilmon’s stomach growl.

Takato and Ticket guy: Huh?

Guilmon: Hungry, I just want my lunchbox.

They heard Guilmon’s stomach growl again.

Ticket guy: Hm? Ha ha ha ha, hey, I never heard of a monster wanting a lunchbox. Your friend’s pretty funny.

He bends down to pick up the lunchboxes.

Takato: Yeah, that’s Guilmon. He’s a riot.

Ticket guy: He reminds me of my kid brother, except for the claws of course. Here ya go.

He hands Takato the boxes.

Takato: Gee, thanks mister.

Ticket guy: I’ll just pretend I didn’t see him, okay?

Takato: Yeah, okay.

Ticket guy: So long now. Hm, crazy kids.

He walks away.

Takato: Oh, that was close. Guilmon why’d you try to digivolve?

Guilmon: I don’t know, I can’t think when I’m hungry.

Later Guilmon is eating his food.

Guilmon: Still hungry, but too sleepy to eat.

Guilmon falls asleep.

Takato looks at Jeri and sees her food gone untouched.

Takato: Huh? Um, Jeri, you haven’t eaten anything. Uh, aren’t you hungry?

She doesn’t answer.

Takato: Well, guess not.

Takato looks down at the floor.

Takato: You know Jeri, I’ve always wanted to tell you, you’re the nicest girl I’ve ever met. I think, uh, I mean you always talk to me and stuff when no one else would. And it may sound silly, but I sometimes I’d imagine that you might kinda like me.

Takato gets all red and bashful.

Takato: The way that I like you.

He realizes what he said and quickly lifts his had up.

Takato: Well, I mean it’s not like I think about you all the time cause I do! Uh, this is hard. What I’m trying to say more than just a friend, Jeri is that I...like you. I really do.

Jeri: Uh.

Takato: Uh, I hate seeing you this way.

He gets up.

Takato: When this whole thing started, I was so happy.

Calumon falls over without Takato holding him up.

Takato: Cause you were a tamer and got to come to the Digital World with us.

Takato sits in another row.

Takato: Then Leomon died...and you became so sad. I thought if I brought you back home to the Real World maybe you’d be yourself again. But now you just sit there not saying or doing anything, I keep thinking, how much of this is my fault? That if I had never brought you to the Digital World you’d still be happy, but you’re not. I’m so sorry Jeri.

Takato starts crying.

Takato: I’m sorry you had to go through all that, that I couldn’t help save Leomon. I just wish...you would talk to me Jeri!

Takato starts crying had.

Jeri: Protein-26.4 grams, saturated fat-15.7 grams.

Takato: Huh?

He turns and sees Jeri reading the calorie list thing on the lunchbox.

Jeri: Carbohydrates-102.2 grams, sodium-4.6 grams.

Takato: Um Jeri?

They arrive at the Matsumoto Train Station.

Takato: Wake up Guilmon, we’re here.

Guilmon: Where’s here?

Takato and Guilmon walk Jeri down the stairs, with Calumon overhead, and her father is waiting with a cab.

Takato: Watch your step Jeri. That’s it. Look there’s your Dad.

Her Dad looks ticked at Jeri.

Takato: Uh...

Later.

Jeri’s Dad bows and then Takato does as well.

Takato: Uh, hello Mr. Katou. I...

Her Dad grabs her and swings her to him and he glares at her then turns to Takato.

Jeri’s Dad: Thank you, for bringing her back home.

Takato: Um, your welcome.

Jeri’s Dad: Come on young lady!

He grabs her and pulls her into the cab and Takato sees her face.

Takato: Uh...

Mr. Katou slams the car door shut.

Takato: Bye, Jeri.

They drive away.

Guilmon: Bye-bye...

In the cab Calumon looks out the back window.

Calumon: Oh.

Takato: Come on buddy, let’s go.

Later Takato and Guilmon are in the train station and there’s a news report on but Takato and Guilmon are sleeping.

Anchorman: This just in, there are reports of strange sightings along the evacuated Shinjuku area and recently, Shinjuku houses stayed must...

At Jeri’s house the cab arrives and Jeri’s step mom opens the door and sees them pull up.

Jeri’s step mom: Mm...

Mr. Katou steps out of the cab and pulls Jeri out.

Jeri’s step mom: Jeri!

She hugs Jeri can Calumon pops up behind Mr. Katou’s shoulder.

Calumon: Oh...

Jeri’s step mom: I’ve been so worried about you, but you’re safe now.

In the Train Station Takato wakes ad listens to the news.

Anchorman: We have just received footage of the strange apparitions from the Shinjuku area.

Takato: Huh?

He stands up.

Anchorman: Great quantities of a red, formless matter appeared and began engulfing the city.

He looks at the screen and sees The D-Reaper taking over buildings.

Takato: Uh...

Anchorman: Eye witnesses say the substance is increasing at an alarming rate. Experts can’t...

Takato: This can’t be happening.

Guilmon wakes up.

Guilmon: What’s going on Takato?

Takato: The Chaos, it followed us home.

Davis: (narration) Whoa! That's a souvenir you don't want. What if the Tamers can't defeat it. Tune in to the next Digimon: Digital Monsters.
