Opening Narration
Narrator: Gravity Falls, the weird capital of the world and the strangest American town to currently exist. From extinct animal sightings to the paranormal, there can be no doubt that the town has a history with mysteries. Recently, however, something peculiar happened. An old urban myth, the Digimon, started to gain traction when they began being sighted. It was one of the town’s many mysteries. When it comes to investigating those mysteries, no one does it quite like a small band of misfits that live in one of Gravity Falls’ many places of interest, the Mystery Shack. Here, the misfits go on adventures and work with the digimon that live there under the employ of Stanley Pines, one of the richest men in Gravity Falls and owner of the Mystery Shack. These eight adventurers have a knack for getting in and out of trouble. There’s their mechanic, Wybie Lovat, the two Diginauts, Razputin Aquato and Lili Zanotto (The Narrator whispers “They like each other”), and Norman Babcock. He sees things. Then there’s the twins, Dipper and Mabel Pines, and then there’s Neil Downe. I don’t really know what he contributes to the team, actually. Now that I think about it, he seems to just kind of be there. I mean, he did tag along with Norman, but that really doesn’t— Oh, right, I’m narrating. (The Narrator clears his throat) Right then. In any case, the leader of the group is everyone’s favorite blue-haired protagonist, Coraline Jones! Each of our heroes have keen interest in digimon! Will they be going on adventures with them anytime soon?! What exciting, action-packed quests will they go on next?!

Part One
(The scene is in the Mystery Shack, where Coraline Jones is sleeping on a chair in a living room, having apparently fallen asleep reading a book titled “Caroline” by Neil Gaiman. A hand taps Coraline on the head, which is enough to wake her up)

Coraline: Huh? (Looks above her and sees Wybie looking at her) Oh. Good morning, Wybie.

Wybie: You really like that book, don’t you, Jonesy?

Coraline: Well, it’s actually quite good. You should read it.

Wybie: Maybe later. Everybody’s having breakfast in the kitchen.

Coraline: Chocolate chip waffles?

Wybie: Yup!

Coraline: Finally! I was getting tired of pancakes. (Coraline enters the kitchen to eat breakfast only to find a a strange purple reptile making waffles for Lili, Raz and two strange creatures)

Purple Reptile: Good morning, Morning Breath! We’ve been waiting you. Almost everyone already ate break— (When the purple reptile turned around, he noticed that Coraline became confused seeing him and the other two strange creatures) What’s wrong, Coraline? Don’t you remember me? I’m Monodramon and these are Muchomon and Coronamon.

Muchomon: How’s it going?! (Coronamon winces in pain because Muchomon was too loud)

Coronamon: You didn’t have to shout.

Muchomon: Sorry.

Coraline: Oh, sorry about that, Monodramon. I just had this weird dream last night.

Raz: What was it like?

Lili: Come on, tell us.

Coraline: Well, I dreamt that we were facing all of these ghosts and witches, and there was this guy with a claw for a hand.

Wybie: That sounds like a nightmare, Coraline.

Coraline: Oh, don’t worry, we won. But right now, I’m thinking about how real it felt. There’s just something about it that I thought was strange.

Lili: It must’ve been a lucid dream. That sort of thing happens sometimes. (Dipper and Mabel walk into the kitchen)

Dipper: Hey, you woke up!

Mabel: Good morning, sleepyhead!

Dipper: We’ve got some news to report.

Raz: Oh yeah, that’s right! We were thinking of doing some exploring later today.

Lili: Soos told us about this old lab called Powers Technology on the outskirts of town that he says used to belong to a mad scientist. We were going to look through it to see if there is anything exciting.

Coraline: Interesting. So, anyone have any idea when we’ll go? (Coraline’s phone starts ringing) Hold on. (Coraline picks up and answers the phone) Hello?

???: Help...e...elp...m... (Coraline hangs up the phone)

Muchomon: What was that?!

Coraline: Probably a prank. Norman would’ve loved this.

Mabel: I’ll go get him. (Mabel leaves the room to get Norman. Static is heard coming from the phone)

???: H...me... (The entire room goes silent, as the phone began working on its own, as if the previous call never ended)

Dipper: Guys, I don’t think this was a prank. (Norman, Mabel and Neil come walking in)

Neil: Hey, what’s up?

Norman: So what was that “spooky” prank? (The voice that is coming from the phone keeps talking. Almost everyone in the room was now scared of the voice. Norman, on the other hand, was interested in it instead) Hold on. Norman picks up Coraline’s phone and answered it) Hello. Do you need help?

???: (Suddenly, what sounded like something intercepting a phone call happened) Come in! This is Vi-Elecmon, come in! (Coronamon grabs the phone)

Coronamon: This is Coronamon. What’s the situation?

Vi-Elecmon: What do you think, you dumdum?! We’re in danger!

Monodramon: You know, if you keep being rude to us, then nobody is going to help you.

Coronamon: Wait, did you say “we’re”, as in, “there’s more than one of you?”

Vi-Elecmon: Yes, and for the record, none of the others know when to shut up! (In the background, a voice saying “Says the loudmouth.” can be heard in the background) Be quiet, Zubamon! You’re lucky I decided to stick my neck out for you guys, now let me work! In any case, I was able to reach you humans by intercepting someone else’s call by hacking into the scientist’s computer mainframe. We’re in some kind of basement and there’s all of this machinery and a lunatic who wants to perform experiments on us. He already started messing with Tapirmon and we don’t want to be next! This human is a psychopath!

Coraline: How many of you are there?

Vi-Elecmon: Seven. Look, we don’t have much time until that human comes back. (Vi-Elecmon pauses slightly) Oh no! I’ll have to chat with you later, the human is coming. (The phone turned off)

Mabel: That’s crazy!

Coronamon: We gotta help them. Is there any way we can trace the call?

Neil: Does anyone have ideas?!

Muchomon: Shouldn’t we get Sheriff Blubs?

Monodramon: He and that deputy are on vacation, remember? They’re not an option right now.

Norman: Wait, the sheriff is on vacation?! Why is the town sheriff on vacation?! (As the kids and Digimon are arguing with themselves, Coraline began getting confused, as if something wasn’t right with her surroundings. When did Sheriff Blubs go on vacation? If these three digimon that were in the kitchen with her and her friends were so familiar, then why was she so surprised to see them? Eventually, she put those questions in her mind aside)

Wybie: What do you think we should do, Jonesy?

Coraline: We should go find Stanford. I’m sure he has something we could use to find them.

Raz: There goes our trip to that lab. I was kind of looking forward to going there.

Lili: We’ll have to deal with that later, Raz.

Raz: I know, Lili. Let’s go talk to Ford! (The children and digimon ran out of the kitchen and into the living room while Coraline ran to the vending machine) Coraline, where are you going?

Coraline: The entrance to the lab is the vending machine!

Dipper: No, it’s not, the living room is an elevator, now hurry up! (Coraline stood there confused before heading to the living room with the others. Mabel presses a hidden button in the couch, activating the elevator as the entire room begins moving down into a much more spacious laboratory then what Coraline was used to. Coraline could hear large footsteps below her as the elevator descended. The team heard a loud roar just as the team reached the bottom, spooking Coraline) Relax, Coraline, it’s just Greymon.

Coraline: Huh? (Greymon looks at his foot as he stepped on something)

Ford: I told you to be careful, Greymon! That was a very important machine you just stepped on!

Greymon: Sorry, Ford. I didn’t see it. Now I know how humans feel when they step on legos. (Coraline and the others reach the floor of the lab) Oh, it’s the kids!

Ford: Hey, kids!

Coraline: (Coraline just stares in shock at the massive orange dinosaur standing right in front of her and her friends) Woah! Look at the size of him! He’s huge! How’d he get in the lab?!

Greymon: Like this. (Greymon de-digivolves into Agumon)

Agumon: Coraline, are you okay?

Coraline: Yeah, I guess.

Raz: We need your help, Mr. Pines!

Ford: What’s wrong, Razputin? You look frightened.

Lili: A digimon gave us a call on Coraline’s phone. He said he was trapped in a basement somewhere.

Ford: Hmm... With Sheriff Blubs and Deputy Durland on vacation, we’ll be needing to find this digimon ourselves.

Mabel: There’s more than one, actually.

Ford: Coraline, give me your phone. I have just the thing to trace that call.

Coronamon: I have it. (Coronamon gives Ford the phone and he inserts the phone into a machine. Ford begins typing on a large computer as various screens depicting numerous places in Gravity Falls) If we can analyze the data, then maybe... (Ford types more until finally, the image of an old, warehouse-like location appeared on the screen) Finally! It seems that the digimon are being held in the old Powers Technology building.

Raz: You mean we get to go there after all?

Lili: You bet we do, Raz.

Raz: Awesome! We better get moving!

Ford: Hold it. Someone needs to help Agumon and I clean up the lab. (Agumon starts scratching his head nervously)

Monodramon: I’ll do it. If there’s any trouble, Coronamon and Muchomon will protect them.

Coronamon: Sounds like a plan.

Ford: Use your phones to pinpoint where the lab is and follow the map. You’ve got digimon to rescue.

Coraline: Alright, guys, let’s go rescue those digimon!

Part Two
(The scene is in the forest just outside of Gravity Falls. The warehouse is close by. The kids are all on bicycles)

Muchomon: How much further until we get to the lab, boss? I’m getting impatient.

Raz: Coraline, are we close?

Coraline: According to the map, we’ll be there in a few minutes. (Neil squints his eyes looking at the distance)

Neil: I think I see it! Or maybe it’s just my imagination.

Dipper: No, I can see it, too! We made it! (The children manage to reach the lab. This time, Raz’s phone starts ringing). Raz answers the phone)

Raz: Sorry, I can’t talk right—

???: Help me! (The children and digimon both stop what they are doing to listen to the voice)

Raz: You’re that first voice we heard at breakfast! What happened to you?!

???: I’m trapped! I...ow whe...am... (The call ends)

Raz: Great. Just great.

Coronamon: Do you think she’s one of Vi-Elecmon’s friends?

Lili: It’s likely. We have to hurry.

Coraline: We need to get inside. The place looks old, so maybe he can just sneak in through a hole in the wall (Neil opens the front doors) Or we can just walk right in the old fashioned way. (Everyone sneaks into the building. They begin searching for a path to the basement when Coraline stumbles upon some goggles. Coraline picks up the goggles and uses her reflection in an old window to make silly faces before deciding to keep the goggles) Hey, Wybie.

Wybie: Yeah, Jonesy?

Coraline: Look what I found. (Before Coraline could show Wybie the goggles, Norman approached the duo)

Norman: I think I found it, but we have to be quiet. (Norman points to a door all the way at the end of the hall) I hear voices down there. (The kids snuck down ever so slowly, hearing what appeared to be a conversation between two people as they reached the basement)

???: It would seem that only one of those little Rookies actually proved to a success.

Raz: I know that voice. That’s Dr. Loboto. (Raz takes a small device and presses a button on it)

Lili: A distress signal?

Raz: The Diginauts will be here to arrest Loboto. Now, let’s eavesdrop on him. We might learn something.

???: According to this, you conducted experiments on Vi-Elecmon ten separate times. What’s with that?

Dr. Loboto: That silly little stuffed toy got a little talkative, so I had to mess with his puny little head! (Mabel gasps in horror as Dipper covers her mouth and warns her to be quiet) He won’t be calling me “Big Head” anymore. HAHAHAHA!!!

???: Yeah yeah yeah, which digimon was the success?

Dr. Loboto: Well, it was the helmeted one, of course! The one with the tusks was a magnificent little test subject.

???: Good! Project Mugen can finally get kicked into overdrive!

Wybie: Project Mugen? What’s Project Mugen?

Dr. Loboto: I’ll go get the bug and deliver the tapir to you. (Dr. Loboto turns off the computer and walks toward a large door to his left and enters it, giving the children time to explore the basement)

Coraline: Good, he’s gone. Alright, let’s see if we can quietly free the digimon.

Mabel: But where are they?

Coraline: Let’s just search the basement and find them before Loboto gets back. (The kids quietly and nervously search the basement. Coraline could eventually hear muffled noises coming from one of the computers) I hear something. (The kids headed toward something that was covered up by a sheet. Coraline and Norman move the sheet revealing seven canisters, one of which has a small hole in it) This must be the digimon. Quick, get me something that can open these things.

Dipper: Looks like we’ll need card keys to open them.

Lili: (Lili frantically searches for a card key until she eventually finds a card) I think I found it. (Lili gives the key to Coraline and she tries opening a canister, only for the key to not work on the first canister) Huh?! (Coraline tries to release other digimon until she eventually releases the one all the way at the end, which was a a small bear cub. The little bear cub is scared, but Coraline managed to convince him to leave the capsule).

Bear Cub: Thank you! (The bear-like digimon leaps toward Coraline, falling to the ground just before he could reach Coraline) Ow. (The bear digimon gets back up) I’m Bearmon. What’re your names?

Coraline: I’m Coraline. Look, the rest of us will introduce ourselves later. Right now, I need you to keep quiet, because Loboto might return soon.

Bearmon: Okay, bestest buddy ever.

Coraline: Thank you. (Coraline smiles at Bearmon and turns to the other kids) Did anyone find more card keys?

Norman: Yup. (Norman uses all of the card keys to free most of the captive digimon)

Sword Monster: Freedom!

Shield Monster: Will you stop that? We’re trying to sneak out, Zubamon.

Zubamon: Oh, sorry, Ludomon.

Norman: Uh, excuse me—

Moon Rabbit: Lunamon I’m Lunamon.

Norman: Where’s Vi-Elecmon?

Lunamon: He’s in that canister thing (Norman looks toward the capsule closest to the computer and opens it with a card key. The children saw that Vi-Elecmon was in a coma and very heavily bruised)

Norman: Oh my goodness! (Norman grabs Vi-Elecmon and holds him) Poor guy. Loboto will pay for this.

Lunamon: We need to get out of here, and fast.

Floating Mammal: We gotta get out. (The children and other digimon look at the anxiety-ridden, ghostly mammal digimon)

Samurai Lizard: Um, Tapirmon? Are you okay?

Tapirmon: We gotta go. (Tapirmon starts looking around rapidly in all directions)

Lunamon: Kotemon, the experiments must’ve made him terrified. We—

Tapirmon: We gotta go!!!! (Tapirmon makes a mad dash for the exit)

Lunamon: Wait for us, Tapirmon! (Suddenly, an alarm went off and a big metal door closed, blocking the kids from leaving the basement) What’s happening?!

Ludomon: Tapirmon must’ve triggered an alarm when he left! From what Loboto told me, it only activates when digimon try to leave!

???: Well well well, it looks like some rats managed to sneak in! (Everyone turned to the direction of the voice)

Raz: Dr. Loboto!!

Dr. Loboto: Oh look, it’s you again! After you foiled my plans at the asylum, I threw in my lot with the highest bidder, and he gave me quite a big monster to play with! I would like you to look at how massive my lab is, if you would be so kind. (The children and digimon look around, not liking the implications of what Dr. Loboto was telling them) Oh, Kuwagamon! (The kids could feel the earth shake as a big door opened up and a large, red insect slowly walked into view)

Muchomon: That really is a Kuwagamon!

Coronamon: Not good.

Dr. Loboto: Hahahaha! That’s not all! I— (Dr. Loboto reaches into his pocket for something but find nothing) Wait. Where’s my Digital Forger? Lousy machines always going missing. I swear, it’s like they become sentient and just teleport away! In any case, Kuwagamon, be a good boy and crush them like roaches! But leave their heads alone. I want to toy with their brains!! HAHAHAHAHA!

Bearmon: You guys saved us. Now it’s time to save you! (Almost every digimon except Vi-Elecmon got ready to fight Kuwagamon as it roared and flew at them)

Part Three
Dr. Loboto: (Kuwagamon flies toward the digimon, but it barely misses) You? Duking it out rather then surrendering? Oh please. I know lunatic minds when I see them, and you’re not sane at all! Hahaha!

Zubamon: That’s what you think, big head!

Dr. Loboto: Gah! Not that insult again! It looks like you’ll have to share your electrical friend’s fate! I was originally hoping Kuwagamon would make things painless, but now I think your pain should be nice and slow! Kuwagamon, don’t waste time! Crush them already! (Kuwagamon tries stepping on the digimon but misses each of them)

Bearmon: Bear Fist! (Bearmon punches Kuwagamon’s leg with all of his might. Muchomon manages to hop on top of Kuwagamon’s back)

Muchomon: Tropical Beak! (Muchomon begins rapidly pecking Kuwagamon’s head woodpecker style until Kuwagamon swatted off of him) AAAAAAAAH!!! (Raz manages to catch Muchomon) Thanks, boss. (The other digimon begin attacking Kuwagamon)

Kotemon: Hothead! Kotemon slashes at Kuwagamon with a flaming sword)

Coronamon: Petit Prominence! (Coronamon rams into Kuwagamon, burning him)

Lili: Good job, Coronamon! (Lili notices Loboto is trying to escape through another door, but they are too late to stop him) No! Loboto got away! (Everyone becomes alarmed. Zubamon notices how impulsive Kuwagamon is and how sharp its pincers must be) Aha! I’ve got it! We have to trick him into getting his pincers stuck!

Ludomon: And what if it’s too smart for that?!

Zubamon: Trust me!

Bearmon: I like that plan! (Kuwagamon is about to step on Kotemon when Bearmon yells Kuwagamon’s name. Kuwagamon turns toward Bearmon) You look like a giant, ugly housefly! (An enraged Kuwagamon flies toward Bearmon)

Lunamon: Jump out of the way! You’ll get eaten! (Bearmon manages to jump out of the way just as Kuwagamon gets its pincers stuck in the wall)

More to be added.
