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, who were eating sandwiches, 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! What’s up with her, anyway? She rarely pitches in to help us. I don’t feel like the twentiest when I think about it.

Wybie: I know, but it’s not like she has a choice. She’s stuck inside of electronics, after all. (Wybie feels vibrations in his pocket. He takes out his Digi-Phone and notices that it’s beginning to glitch out. Agatha appears on the screen)

Agatha: Okay, everyone, I have good news and bad news!

Wybie: Woah! Don’t scare me like that! (Zubamon sees the other Mystery Tamers and their digimon arrive)

Coraline: We heard Agatha’s voice. What’s going on, Wybie?

Wybie: She was about to tell me. What’s up, Agatha?

Agatha: Ford made this thing called an “app” that allows me to help you more efficiently. Apparently, it helps keep track of stats, like what digimon will turn into next.

Norman: Cool! But what’s the bad news?

Agatha: I’m detecting a huge concentration of data surging in this direction. (Agatha points to where the clouds outside were brewing) I think another pocket dimension is going to appear, but something seems different this time.

Coraline: Like what? (Zeroes and ones start appearing on the walls and ceilings as Wybie, Zubamon, Raz, Muchomon, Neil, Ludomon, Dipper and Kotemon fall through the floor into the lab and then into a strange space)

Wybie: Ow, my head. (Wybie notices that he and the others were in this strange, empty space made from computer data and everyone got back on their feet) Uh, where are we, Dipper?

Dipper: I have no idea, Wybie. Quite frankly, I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

Raz: It’s like we’re in some sort of computer game.

Dipper: Yeah, and we’re the player characters. (A cannonball barely misses Kotemon as the group turns around and sees Hookmon and Diatrymon)

Kotemon: It’s Hookmon!

Diatrymon: And Diatrymon! Don’t forget about me!

Hookmon: This is a wonderful sight! Half the Mystery Tamers means half the trouble! Tylomon! Time for an appetizer! (Tylomon “swims” above Hookmon and Diatrymon and makes a beeline for the Mystery Tamers) Game over, landlubbers! Harharharhar!! (Hookmon gets his arm cannon ready to fire. The scene transitions to the Mystery Shack, where Coraline and the others are dealing with the strange pocket dimension)

Bearmon: Coraline, what happened?!

Coraline: I don’t know, Bearmon!

Mabel: Look outside! Everything outside went loco! (Everyone looks outside and sees all of the trees glitching out)

Norman: Woah!! What is this?!

Vi-Elecmon: I’m feeling sick…

Norman: Vi, head to the bathroom! (Vi-Elecmon and Norman rush to the restroom. Coraline tries tasing her Digi-Phone to contact Agatha)

Agatha: Coraline, I’m here! Is everyone okay?

Coraline: Unfortunately, no. Wybie and some of the others fell through the floor a moment ago. Can you contact them? (Coraline has a worried look on her face)

Agatha: Sorry, Coraline, but I can’t reach them. Wherever they are, they’re on their own.

Coraline: Please be safe… (The scene transitions to the strange computer realm Wybie and the others fell into. Hookmon, Diatrymon and Tylomon attack the Mystery Tamers)

Hookmon: Leave the samurai lizard and his partner to me! Diatrymon, the goggled one is all yours! Tylomon, eat the rest!

Tylomon: It’s time to feed! (Tylomon “swims” toward Wybie. Zubamon turns into a sword and Wybie picks him up just when Tylomon tries biting him. Wybie, now in knight armor, leaps out of the way)

Wybie: Sheesh! That’s overkill!

Tylomon: There’s no kill quite like overkill, chump! Come here! (Tylomon “swims” toward Neil, but Ludomon turns into a shield and Neil picks him up, giving him his knight armor)

Neil: This thing is hungry!

Wybie: No kidding, Neil!

Neil: Please don’t eat us, Tylomon! (Tylomon tries biting Wybie again)

Zubamon: Neil, we’ve been fighting things like this for awhile and now you beg one of them not to eat you?! (Tylomon turns around and tries to bite into Wybie, but the armor is too thick so he spits Wybie out) Wybie!! Are you alright?!

Tylomon: Too thick! I need to eat something that can break! (Tylomon turns toward Hookmon) This will do…

Hookmon: Who are you looking at? I demand you pay attention to— (Tylomon “swims” toward Hookmon and tries eating him. Hookmon leaps backward and fails to notice the large abyss underneath of him, only to realize too late that he was about to fall down it) AAAAAAAHH!!!! (Tylomon’s tail accidentally knocks Wybie and Zubamon down the abyss as well)

Wybie: AAAAAAAAHHH!!

Zubamon: AAAAAAHH!!

Raz: Wybie! Zubamon! (Wybie, Zubamon and Hookmon land on the ground, getting knocked out. Wybie and Zubamon eventually wake up)

Zubamon: What happened? It’s like I fell down the world’s longest hole.

Wybie: No kidding. If I wasn’t in— (Wybie notices that the armor is gone and that Zubamon is in his normal form again) Uh oh! Are you okay, Zubamon?

Zubamon: I’m going to need headache medicine, but other than that, I’m good. (The two notice Hookmon on the ground incapacitated) Looks like the ol’ buccaneer is all washed up. Quick! We should destroy him!

Wybie: I don’t know, Zubamon. It wouldn’t feel right hurting someone while they’re down.

Zubamon: Have you forgotten how much of a pain in the neck this persistent pirate has been?! (Hookmon starts getting up) He’d rather blow us to pieces the moment we look away! (Hookmon points his arm cannon at the duo)

Hookmon: Normally, you’d be correct, matey. (Wybie and Zubamon look toward Hookmon in shock, but then Hookmon lowers his arm) However, I have an unreliable minion to contend with, and we have to get out of here before we get eaten. Whether we like it or not, a truce is in order.

Zubamon: Hold up. A truce? Are we really supposed to just trust this guy?! If he pulls a Rinkmon on us, then—

Hookmon: All things considered, it would be wise to cooperate…um…

Wybie: Wybie. (Zubamon facepalms)

Hookmon: Wybie, we’d best find a way up. Otherwise, we might as well get used to living down here. See if you can find a way out, landlubber. (All three search for a way up, but find nothing) Any luck, Wybie?

Wybie: None whatsoever. (Zubamon notices a feint light in the distance)

Zubamon: Okay, either I’m going completely insane or there’s a light right over there. (Zubamon, Hookmon and Wybie look over in the distance as an odd, robotic insect is using its taser-like pincers to generate light to light its way and head toward the three) Who are you?

???: Hmm? Who are you three? I don’t get visitors down here.

Hookmon: And what are you, automaton?

Kokuwamon: Call me Kokuwamon.

Part Two
(The scene is inside of the digital abyss, where Kokuwamon accompanies Wybie, Hookmon and Zubamon through a tunnel)

Wybie: So, what is this place?

Kokuwamon: I’m as confused as you, stranger. To be honest, I’ve been in this strange place for almost my entire life. I was born under a ton of rubble in some old ruins. Shortly after that, I found myself here. It’s been lonely wandering through here with only raw data to eat. (Wybie and Zubamon get nervous) Relax, I’m harmless. Well, at least to my knowledge, anyway.

Hookmon: Fascinating. So this isn’t a product of any pocket dimension?

Kokuwamon: Pocket dimension?

Wybie: Sometimes when an evil brat named Gideon Gleeful makes a digimon, pocket dimensions appear. It’s all because of the Digital Forger, but more on that later.

Hookmon: Indeed. If you had spoken another foul word about the Captain, I’d make a hole in your gut the size of a bowling ball.

Kokuwamon: I take it you two aren’t friends of his?

Zubamon: Not in the slightest! Hookmon tried to kill us many times in the past, and he tried doing again moments ago!

Hookmon: And had Tylomon remained a loyal minion, you’d be dead by now, landlubbers. Although, now that you say that, I was after the one in the cap and that lizard, so perhaps it would have been Tylomon who would’ve destroyed you.

Wybie: Watch it, Hookmon. (Wybie hears footsteps nearby) What’s that? (Digimon resembling soldiers and strange digimon with monitors for heads march out of a hidden chamber somewhere behind a false wall) Huh?

Zubamon: The wall is a hologram?

Hookmon: This is most intriguing. Captain Gideon will want to know what those digimon are hiding. Let’s check it out. (Hookmon walks into the area the holographic wall was hiding with Kokuwamon, Wybie and Zubamon following him in) Well, well, well. This is interesting. (Wybie sees WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon in giant tubes containing a strange liquid)

Wybie: WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon!

Zubamon: Sasha and Milla are going to be really excited when we free you two! I’m making it my mission!

Hookmon: I wonder how Roachmon is faring… (The scene transitions to the Gleeful Mansion, where Roachmon is sneaking down to the mansion’s basement)

Roachmon: Let’s see what you’re hiding, Eyesmon… (Roachmon reaches the bottom of the stairs and crouches down to hide from Eyesmon, Witchmon and Chrysalimon)

Witchmon: Let me get this straight for a moment. You’re not really a digimon?

Eyesmon: Of course, I’m not, Witchmon! I’m Bill Cipher! I’m just wearing the skin of a digimon because Analogman can’t keep me imprisoned in this “town” if I’m back to my old self!

Chrysalimon: Pardon me, but what is this “Analogman”?

Eyesmon: You know, for such a smart henchman, you’re awfully forgetful, because I had remind you of this twice today. Analogman is the one I assume is responsible for everything! Why I’m an Eyesmon! The “town”! It’s all Analogman’s fault!

Roachmon: Analogman? So Gideon has nothing to do with this?

Witchmon: What exactly is wrong with the town?

Eyesmon: Everything, Witchmon. I sent one of my other selves to search the area outside of town for some Crests.

Chrysalimon: Crests? This is first time I’ve ever heard of such things.

Eyesmon: There are nine that I know of, and each one is incredibly powerful. They are the Crests of Courage, Friendship, Love, Knowledge, Sincerity, Reliability, Hope, Light and Kindness, and my copy has managed to retrieve eight of them. All I need is the Crest of Kindness to complete my collection and not even Gideon will have the power to stop me!

Roachmon: What?! (Roachmon covers his mouth and realizes he blew his cover. Dozens of Eyesmon copies grab him and drag him toward Eyesmon and the others)

Eyesmon, Why, hello there, Roachmon. Spying on us, are we? Do you know what happens to people who snoop on us? (Eyesmon begins salivating as Roachmon’s eyes widen in fear. The scene transitions to the storage facility in the digital abyss, where Wybie and his friends (and enemy) are trying to free WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon and do an investigation)

Wybie: There has to be a way to free them. Zubamon, got any ideas? (Zubamon looks for something he could use to free WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon. Zubamon notices a small computer Nein the corner of the room)

Zubamon: I found something! (Zubamon and the others rush to the computer) Anyone here know how to type? (Wybie raises his hand) Then get going! (Wybie types, but takes too long to find anything. Kokuwamon shoves Wybie out of the way)

Kokuwamon: That computer looks too advanced for human hands. Allow me. (Kokuwamon sits on the chair and uses it’s taser pincers to access information) Finally, I found it! There is a small blue button on the back of the tube. Press this to free them. (Wybie finds a blue button on the back of the tubes and presses the buttons, releasing WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon. Wybie and Zubamon run toward their freed friends)

Wybie: Wake up! Come on, guys, wake up! (WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon start moving and bare barely able to stand up)

WarGreymon: Where am I? (WayGreymon looks toward Wybie) Wybie? Is that you?

Wybie: Yup.

WarGreymon: Where are we? Why do I feel so weak?

MetalGarurumon: Where are Milla and Sasha?

Wybie: They’re okay, but they’ve been worried about you two. (Zubamon and Kokuwamon continue using the computer to search for more information) You remember Zubamon, right?

MetalGarurumon: Hey, Zubamon. Have you and the others gotten into trouble since we last saw each other?

Zubamon: We’ve got lots of stories to tell. I hope you don’t fall asleep halfway through them all. (Everyone but Hookmon starts laughing. Kokuwamon starts panicking)

Kokuwamon: Everyone! I detected something huge and scary! Come look! (Everyone rushes to the computer) What are “Operation: Model Kit” and “Crests”?

Zubamon: Let’s find out. (Kokuwamon brings up images of nine slab-like objects, each with their own colors and symbols) These must be the Crests. I like the gray one the most.

Kokuwamon: Operation: Model Kit is what terrified me. (Kokuwamon made a document appear relating to Operation: Model Kit) It’s written in binary code. I will summarize this. According to the document, nine children, many digimon and several human adults were abducted and placed into an artificial construct created to resemble something called a town that most of them lived in at the time. They would then be monitored by groups of Monitamon and their adventures would broadcasted to the denizens of a place called the “Hardware Continent”. (Wybie and Zubamon stare at the computer with shocked expressions on their faces)

Zubamon: Wybie? Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

Wybie: Yeah. I think this document is referring to us.

Hookmon: Shiver me timbers! The town is a sham! (A Commandramon and Monitamon storm the room everyone is in)

Commandramon: Halt! You have stepped out of the simulation! Follow us so that we can reboot you or face deletion! You have ten seconds to comply! (Tylomon crashes through the walls and eats the Monitamon) Code red! Security breach! Security br— (Tylomon eats the Commandramon and shoves everyone onto a large platform)

Wybie: Not him again!

MetalGarurumon: I’ll handle him! (MetalGarurumon tries to attack Tylomon but can’t) Rats! I need energy!

Tylomon: I’d like to apologize to Hookmon for trying to eat him.

Hookmon: You had better be honest, or someone is whetting a cannonball to the head!

Tylomon: No, really, I’m truly sorry.

Kokuwamon: Well, he did save us. I’ll give you a pat on the back, friend. (Kokuwamon walks toward Tylomon, who begins salivating. Zubamon recognizes what might happen)

Zubamon: You naive moron! Get away from him! (Zubamon grabs Kokuwamon before Tylomon could eat Kokuwamon) What you thinking, gizmo brain?! He was luring you in!

Tylomon: Let me feed! (Zubamon has a gray aura surround him)

Zubamon: Not a chance! Want to know why?!

Tylomon: Why is that, little toothpick?

Zubamon: Because I am the twentiest! Zubamon, digivolve to… (A gray light engulfs Zubamon as he becomes ZubaEagermon) …ZubaEagermon! Let’s dance, you reptilian ruffian!

Tylomon: Good! A bigger snack! Time for lunch! (Tylomon “swims” toward ZubaEagermon with its mouth open wide)

Part Three
(The scene is in the digital abyss, where Tylomon is fighting Wybie and his friends)

More to be added.
