The Messenger

Synopsis
{{section-stub <!--massive copyedit needed - spelling, grammar, and in-universe. DO NOT REMOVE THIS NOTICE UNTIL THESE ARE FIXED. The episode opens with a special news broadcast related to the invasion of the D-Reaper, where it says it is expanding constantly and that despite being February, the temperature was 30º Celsius and rising, while we see more of the military being mobilized. Then we see Takato and Henry in the school again with Guilmon and Terriermon, when Takato tells Henry that he saw Jeri last night. Because of this, Takato had checked with her family, and that they had told them she had disappeared, but not until a couple hours before he saw her. He also reveals that he felt something was wrong. Suddenly, we see another broadcast this time from Miskatonic University, where a professor (Uchiarado Testsuo) argues that the Hypnos surveillance system is to blame for the invasion, namely that of the giant creatures known as Digimon, and that is probably also connected with the D-Reaper. When then are shown a girl and Dobermon in the dusk, as well as the images the military had recorded from the inside of the D-Reaper. As the scientist tries to explain the D-Reaper's workings, The Tamers find a message adressed to them outside Takato's house, asking them to go to Rika's house. Meanwhile Rob "Dolphin" McCoy, and Curly are on a news show explaining what the D-Reaper and Digimon are as well as the difference between them. As the tamers head towards Rika's house, Rika is against the idea of having many people in her house, but with a little prodding from everyone she relents. Before they continue, Takato spots Jeri again, who remarks on the chaos of this world, and how everyone acts selfishly to a pointless goal but she disappears before he can chase her. Only Renamon said to have felt a presence, but even she could not determine it's identity. As the camera crew leaves hypnos temporary instalations, Reika tries to confort Yamaki over his failed attempt at controlling the network, while Yamaki notes bemused that he did not intend to be the first fool to do so. The dialogue is interrupted when The Monster Makers get a copy of the original D-Reaper program from germany, and hope to find something they can use against it. Meanhile, the tamers arrive at Rika's house and find that their parents have prepared a huge meal for them (including the awaited Guilmon Bread). As they catch up on each other, Calumon is shown to be looking for everyone and is kicked in the back by Impmon. After Calumon revealing that it had been looking for Jeri, Impmon decides to try and help her. Soon enough, a goverment broadcast with the minister of internal affairs regarding Hypnos capabilities is interrupted by a news report where some strange figures are attacking the same girl and a Dobermon seen earlier. This causes the tamers D-Arcs to react, interrupting the gathering but (fortunatly) after the eating. They start to run off until they remember that their parents are there. Their parents reasure them that they understand, and that despite not wanting them to be in danger they will help do what they must. So the tamers head off riding Growlmon. As Yamaki recieves a message from the ark, asking for instructions, the tamers reach a bridge and destroy the drones attacking the girl. The girl on the bridge reveals she has been looking for the tamers, as Yamaki asks for the Arc's programmer, dolphin for assistance (as it becomes clear that the girl is Dolphin's relative). Growlmon says that the dog next to her is really a digimon, and has it asks alice if they're the ones it had been looking for, the girl reveals that Dobermon came not long ago to this world, which made her happy, but that he has a gift for the tamers. Before he can reveal what it is, a D-Reaper agent attacks. Growlmon, Gargomon, and Kyubimon then digivolve into WarGrowlmon, Rapidmon, and Taomon, but even the ultimates are not enough to take down the D-Reaper agent. Then Alice reveals she was sent to solve the problem of needing to be data to reach ultimate. Dobermon reveals he has been sent by the sovereign Digimon to give the tamers the power to fight the most evolved part of the D-Reaper. He sacrifices himself and the tamers are sorrounded by a red and blue double helix. -->
