I haven’t watched a new episode of Pokémon in months, as, sadly, Sun and Moon just isn’t that good in my opinion. Ever since then, I’ve been looking for other anime to occupy my time. As you can probably tell from my other fanfics, I’ve gotten into MHA, and I’ve also been watching many other classics such as Megazone 23, AKIRA, The Irresponsible Captain Tylor, Slayers, and more.

A couple of weeks ago, I was on Sakugabooru and saw a particularly well-animated cut from one of the Digimon movies (namely Hurricane Landing). I thought the movie looked awesome, so I went to KissAnime and put it on. Needless to say, I became hooked....

After that, I put on the first episode of Digimon Savers, a series that isn’t particularly well liked in the fandom. But I liked it, and kept watching. And watching. And as of a few minutes ago, I’ve finally completed the series.

But, you may be asking, what’s this story going to be about? Well, it all has to do with my favorite Digimon: Gaomon. Over the course of 48 episodes, I fell in love with the cute, yet badass puppy. I immediately began thinking of writing a story about him, which you are about to read. Enjoy!

NOTE: THE FOLLOWING STORY CONTAINS SWEARING, VIOLENCE, BLOOD, AND DEATH. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED......


Digimon Savers: Gaomon’s Quest


Introduction



My master...is nobody but you......

Those were the last words I ever spoke to my Master, Thomas J. Norstein, before I left him forever.

My name...is Gaomon.

The time I spent with Thomas J. Norstein was the happiest part of my life. He had had a rough childhood, having dealt with the tragic death of his mother, an overbearing father, a grandmother who wanted nothing to do with him, and a sister who was born with a rare neurological disease that limited her mobility.

But all of that changed on the day he met me. My Digi-Egg fell out of the sky, and hatched on the lawn of his private mansion in Austria. The two of us quickly became best friends.

There was a problem, though. A secret agency called DATS (Digital Accident Tactics Squad) found out that Master was harboring me. They arrived to take me away, but Master put up a good fight. Eventually, the DATS agents decided that, if he wanted to keep me, he would have to become a member of the team. He agreed, and he joined DATS at their headquarters in Japan, which also happened to be where he spent his early childhood. We met their other agent, Yoshino Fujieda, and her partner Digimon, Lalamon. They were very nice to us, but nothing ever could have prepared us for what came next.

Enter Marcus Damon. We first met him upon returning from a six-month stay at DATS’ Austrian branch. Although he didn’t get along well with Master at first, the two quickly set aside their differences and became an unstoppable force. We apprehended several troublesome Digimon together, such as a BomberNanimon who nearly ruined Masaru’s sister’s birthday, a Togemon that was being used to fix boxing matches, and an Evilmon that forced a down on his luck man to start gambling.

But not everything was sunshine and roses for DATS. We ran afoul of the evil genius, Akihiro Kurata, and his plans for Digimon genocide. He was, without a doubt, the most despicable human being ever.

Things got worse when Kurata tried to make Master switch over to his side. He refused at first, but when Kurata revealed to Master that he would kill his little sister if he refused, he reluctantly agreed. Of course, we were only pretending to go along with his plans, and we turned the tables on him. And after his plan to use an ancient Digimon named Belphemon failed, he made one last desperate act, and detonated a space-time oscillation bomb.

All of these incidents with Kurata attracted the attention of the Digimon God, Yggdrasil, who vowed to destroy the entire human race for harming the Digital World. But thanks to Master and the rest of DATS, we were able to defeat him, and save the Real World!

But, sadly, all good things must come to an end. After the battle, DATS informed us that all of the Digimon would have to go back to the Digital World to fix all the damage that the humans caused. This meant that I would have to leave my Master forever.

On our last day together, I left him with those now immortal words: “My Master...is nobody but you....”


And this is where my current life begins. It’s now been twelve years since we parted ways, but, after all that time, I have never forgotten my Master.

Chapter 1: He Blinded Me With Science


Twelve years after the disbanding of DATS, Thomas J. Norstein is now an award-winning doctor. But, despite all of his success, he can’t help but feel that his life is somewhat empty. His medical partner, a physician named Joe Kido, is concerned about him, and corners him about it one day....

Joe: You’ve been acting kind of depressed lately, Thomas. Is there something bothering you?
Thomas: No, not really. It’s just that next week is the anniversary of when...I lost someone special to me....
Joe: Is this about your mother again? You’ve told me that story a million times!
Thomas: No, this one is different. You see, a long time ago, I had a Digimon partner named Gaomon. We saved both the Digital World and the Real World on many occasions, until we had to go our separate ways.
Joe: How come you never told me about this before?
Thomas: I didn’t think you would understand.
Joe: You didn’t think I’d understand?!? Of course I would! After all, I am the Digital World’s official doctor!
Thomas: How come you never told me about that?
Joe: I didn’t think you would understand!
Thomas: Never mind! When is the next time you’re going to the Digital World?!?
Joe: Why?
Thomas: Because I want to come with you!
Joe: Um, it’s on Thursday. I visit them every Tuesday and Thursday.
Thomas: Damn it! I’m supposed to give a lecture at Fuji TV on Thursday!
Joe: In that case, how about next Tuesday, then?
Thomas: That won’t do! I have to see Gaomon immediately!!! I can somehow sense that something is wrong!


Meanwhile, at Cape Canaveral in Florida, a young astronaut named Yamato “Matt” Ishida, along with his faithful partner, Gabumon, are preparing to take off on a mission to The Moon. They are seated on board a modified Space Shuttle that has been re-engineered to land on the Moon’s surface. Only 20 seconds remain before launch....

Matt: Are you ready for this, Gabumon?
Gabumon: Am I ready?!? I was born ready!
Launch Control: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. Liftoff!

The Space Shuttle lifts off from the tower and begins its ascent into the air.

Ground Control: Everything looks safe so far. They might actually pull this off.
Houston Commander: You okay up there, Matt?
Matt: Roger, everything’s fine up here.
Gabumon: [sniffs] I smell something burning.
Matt: Houston, my co-pilot is reporting a burning smell in the cockpit.
Houston Commander: That ain’t good. You might wanna activate your parachutes.
Matt: Roger that.

As he presses the button to activate the parachutes, the Space Shuttle suddenly explodes!!! Debris and flames rain down everywhere, but there is no sign of Matt or his co-pilot.

NASA Official: Did they make it out in time?!?
Houston Commander: It doesn’t look like it, sir. I’m afraid we might have lost them....
Ground Control: Look! I can see their parachutes! They’re okay!

In the midst of the thick smoke, two white objects are seen floating down from the sky. On closer inspection, they are revealed to be Matt and Garurumon (who had digivolved at the last second to protect Matt from the flames)!

Matt: Man, that was a wild escape! I feel like I’m Bruce Willis or something!
Garurumon: [coughs] Are you alright, Matt?
Matt: Yeah, I guess so. But you don’t sound too good, Garurumon.
Garurumon: I think I [coughing] inhaled too much [coughing] smoke!!!

The two finally land, and are surrounded by NASA’s emergency crew.

Fireman: What happened up there?
Matt: That doesn’t matter right now! Can you please get my co-pilot to the hospital?!? I think he inhaled a lot of smoke in that explosion!
Medical Worker: Okay, I’ll get him there as soon as I can! You’d better come along for a med check as well!

Matt and Garurumon are loaded into the back of an ambulance as the rest of the ground crew are left to wonder what happened to the Shuttle...


- Back in Japan -

News Anchor: Breaking news from America! NASA’s mission to the Moon has gone terribly wrong! 73 seconds after liftoff, the modified Space Shuttle suddenly exploded. The pilot, a rookie from Japan named Yamato Ishida, and his co-pilot were able to escape at the last second by activating their parachutes. While Ishida suffered only minor injuries, the co-pilot had some smoke inhalation problems. NASA officials are still trying to find the cause of the explosion, but they are fairly certain that it was just an accident.

Joe and Thomas are watching this report on TV, and Joe is terrified by what he sees.

Joe: Poor Matt...I hope he’s alright!
Thomas: You know that guy?
Joe: He’s one of my oldest friends! We’ll have to hold off on traveling to the Digital World until I know he’s okay!!!!


Back in America, Matt is recovering at Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach. Several big suits from NASA are asking him questions about what happened on the Shuttle just before it exploded.

Matt: And...that’s all I know.
Suit 1: I see. Are you certain that this was more than just an accident?
Matt: I smelled smoke in the cockpit before the ship exploded! Someone’s trying to sabotage our missions!
Suit 2: Calm down, Ishida. There must be a reasonable explanation for all of this.
Matt: How do you explain the smoke, then?!? If I die on the next mission, my dad has the right to sue you!!!!
Suit 3: Sorry, sir, but this meeting has now ended.

The three suits leave the room and leave Matt to his own devices.

Matt: What’s with those guys? Something’s going on here, and I’m gonna find out what it is!!!


At the White House, Vice-President Mike Pence meets with NASA officials to discuss the possibility of future missions.

Pence: I think you boys should take a break from any missions for a while. After that explosion today and that incident with the test run last week, I’m starting to get the feeling that there’s someone in your organization that doesn’t want you to succeed.
Administrator Tim Listerine: Nonsense! What happened on these missions were just random coincidences. They could have happened to any ship.
Pence: Are you at all concerned that your star pilot may not survive the next “coincidence”?
Chief Financial Officer John Blewitt: Pilots are easily replaceable, Mr. Pence. We can find another pilot should something happen to Ishida.

At that point, two men of Asian ethnicity walk into the Oval Office. They are Tadayoshi Kurata, and his associate, Nozomu.

Kurata: Don’t be so hasty, gentlemen. Let’s not fight like schoolchildren.
Pence: Who are you?
Kurata: My name is Tadayoshi Kurata, one of Japan’s leading scientists. And this is my subordinate, Nozomu.
Nozomu: A pleasure to make your acquaintance.
Kurata: Mr. Listerine brought us over to your country to serve as advisors for today’s mission, which I see has unfortunately failed. But I can assure you that it isn’t the hardworking people at NASA who are to blame for the explosion.
Tim: We were trying to tell that to the Vice-President, but he kept insisting that there was some sort of sabotage.
Kurata: He isn’t wrong, you know, but it would be a lie to say that it was NASA’s fault.
Pence: Then whose fault was it?
Kurata: It was all because of those accursed Digimon!

Author’s note: Before we get to the Digital World, I wanted to set up this story’s subplot.

I used parody names for the NASA officials because they probably wouldn’t like being portrayed as shifty and evil. I used Mike Pence instead of Trump here because I don’t want any of this to get too political.

So, yeah, this story takes place in the current year, in between Savers and the epilogue of Digimon Adventure 02. If there are consistencies with this timeline please let me know.


By the way, see if you can spot the reference to the Ocean dub of DBZ in this chapter!

Chapter 2: Welcome Back, My Friends

John: Digimon? I thought we sent them back to their own world years ago!
Kurata: The wall separating our two dimensions is very fragile, and it can’t hold the Digimon back for very long. I should know. My father, Akihiro, was an expert in the field of Digimon behavior, before his untimely death at the hands of his own weapon!
Pence: Do you have any proof that Digimon caused this disaster?
Kurata: Well, um....no.
Pence: Then I’m afraid I’ll have to ask you to leave.
[Secret Service agents show up and escort Kurata out of the White House]
Kurata: Wait!! You can’t do this to me!!! I have friends in very high places!
Agent: Yeah, and I’m the Queen of England.

The agents kick his ass out of the White House. The NASA guys follow shortly after.

John: So, what do we do now?
Kurata: That was only a minor setback, gentlemen. We don’t need the approval of the White House for our plan, anyway.
Nozomu: Master, we should move on to the next part of our plan.
Kurata: Yes, indeed, Nozomu. This is where we get serious...


- Japan -

Joe: [frantically dialing numbers on his cell phone] Come on, pick up!!!!
Thomas: You do realize that your friend is currently in a hospital bed, right?
Joe: So?
Thomas: He probably can’t pick it up right now.
Joe: I know that!!! Just let me try again!
Thomas: We’re wasting time.
[Matt’s nurse picks up on the other end]
Nurse: Who is this?
Joe: Is Matt alive?!!??
Nurse: Um, as far as I’m aware.
Joe: THANK GOODNESS!!!!! Can I talk to him for a minute?
Nurse: I don’t see why not. Young man, you’ve got a phone call.
Matt: Hello?
Joe: Matt, you’re alive!!!
Matt: Do I know you?
Joe: This is Joe!!!! You know, that guy with the glasses?
Matt: Oh! Hi! You’re honestly the last person I expected to hear from!
Joe: I saw your ship explode on the news earlier and wanted to know if you were okay.
Matt: Only a few minor scrapes, but I’m fine. I’ll probably be out of the hospital by morning if that’s what you’re worried about.
Joe: BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP NOWWWW!!!!!
Matt: Help? With what?
Joe: The Digital World is in danger, and we’ll need all of the DigiDestined to help us out!!!!
Matt: In that case, I’ll be there as soon as I can! [hangs up] Now, I’d better go find Gabumon.

Matt then notices that Gabumon is actually in the same room as him.

Matt: How did I not see that before? Anyway, Gabumon, wake up!!!!
Gabumon: Huh, wha?!?? Oh, what’s the problem, Matt?
Matt: The Digital World is in trouble! We’ve gotta get there now!
Gabumon: Okay, Matt! I’m right behind you!

Matt and Gabumon jump into a nearby computer monitor, which will take them straight to the Digital World...


Back in Japan, Joe calls the rest of the DigiDestined, while Thomas is calling up some friends of his own.

Joe: Well, I’ve called Sora, Mimi, Tai, Izzy, TK, and Kari, and they all say that they want to come. How are things going with you?
Thomas: Keenan says that he’s coming, but I haven’t heard from Yoshino yet. She’s a police officer, so she’s probably on duty right now.
Joe: I guess we’ll have to go on without her, then. Do you know where we’re all supposed to meet up?
Thomas: We’re supposed to meet up here, right?
Joe: Correct. I just hope they all know where that is.

A few minutes later, Tai and Kari show up. They are followed soon after by TK and Sora. All of them are accompanied by their Digimon, as well.

Joe: I’m glad you guys could all make it. This is my colleague Thomas J. Norstein. Thomas, these are my friends, Tai and Kari Kamiya, Takeru “TK” Takaishi, and Sora Takenouchi.
Tai: Aren’t you the guy who won the Nobel Prize for curing his younger sister?
Thomas: Indeed I am.
Sora: What exactly are we all gathered here for, Joe?
Joe: Thomas says that he can sense trouble brewing in the Digital World.
TK: Is that possible?
Thomas: I don’t know. I just have a very bad feeling that something terrible is about to happen...

Soon after, Mimi, Keenan, and Izzy arrive. They are confused as to why they were called there, too. Joe’s explanation does nothing to alleviate their confusion.

Izzy: If there was any trouble in the Digital World, I would have picked it up on my computer.
Mimi: Can we even trust this Thomas guy? He looks kind of suspicious to me.
Keenan: Of course you can trust Thomas! He and his friends helped me find my real parents!
Tai: Are we all ready to go now?
Thomas: No. We’re still waiting for Yoshino. Do you know where she is, Keenan?
Keenan: I saw her on my way here. She looked like she had no idea about this.
Thomas: Then, I guess we really should go without her. So, how exactly do we get there?
Joe: Do you have any computers around?
Thomas: I’ve got a laptop.
Joe: That’ll work nicely. C’mon, everyone!
Thomas: What are we all doing?
Kari: We have to use a computer to get there, silly!
Thomas: How come I never thought of that before?
Tai: Alright, on the count of three, we all jump in!
Mimi: One!
Sora: Two!
Everyone: THREEEEEEE!!!!!

Everyone jumps into the computer screen (don’t ask me how they all fit into there), and there is a blinding flash of light. Now our heroes all make their way through the portal that connects our two worlds...


- Digital World -

On the other side of the portal, Marcus Damon prepares lunch for his faithful companion, Agumon, and his two friends, Lalamon, and Gaomon.

Marcus: Okay, you guys! Lunch is served!
Agumon: Oh boy! Are we having fried eggs again, Aniki?
Lalamon: We just had them yesterday. Today we’re having my favorite.
Gaomon: And that is?
Lalamon: Umm, I don’t know.
Gaomon: [sweatdrops]
Agumon: Hey, Aniki, what’s that in the sky?
Marcus: What are you talking about?
Agumon: Look!

Matt and Gabumon fall from the sky and land right on top of Agumon.

Marcus: What’s the big idea here?!? If you think you’re going to get away with hurting Agumon then talk to my fists!
Gaomon: Marcus, wait! That’s a human!
Lalamon: And he has a Digimon with him!
Marcus: Eh? How come I’ve never seen him around here before?
Matt: [dizzy] Another perfect landing...[shakes head] Gabumon, we made it! We’re back in the Digital World!
Gabumon: You must be our welcoming party.
Marcus: Eh? What are you talking about? And why are you guys here?
Matt: We came because we heard there was serious trouble here in the Digital World.
Gabumon: The Digital World is in danger right now...is it?
Marcus: Um....no.
Gaomon: Not that we are aware of.
Matt: Grrrr, Joe was lying to me!!! When I get my hands on him he’s gonna wish he was never born!
Gabumon: Looks like you’re about to get your chance, Matt, because here he comes now!

Joe and the other DigiDestined fall on top of Agumon, still trying to recover from when Matt fell on him.

Joe: Phew, we made it. Looks like everything turned out okay!
Matt: Oh, no, it didn’t! Not for you!!!
[Matt approaches Joe and gives him a purple-nurple]
Joe: Ouch! What was that for?!? This isn’t middle school, you know!
Matt: That’s what you get for giving me false information!
Tai: Calm down, you two! I’m sure there’s an explanation for all of this.
Lalamon: Ooh, more guests! Nice to meet all of you! My name is Lalamon, and these are my friends, Marcus, and Gaomon. I see you’ve already met Agumon.
Agumon: [muffled] Get these guys off of me!
Tai: I’ve got an Agumon, too! My name is Tai, and this is Joe, my little sister Kari, TK, Mimi, Izzy, and Keenan.
Thomas: Hey, what about-

Thomas is caught off guard when he lays his eyes upon his old friend, Gaomon. He just stands there staring at him for about twenty seconds while the other Digi-Destined give him puzzled looks.

Izzy: Is that guy okay?
Marcus: Thomas??? Are you alright?????
Thomas: Gaomon....is that...you?
Gaomon: [tears running down face] Yes, Master....it is...
[the two embrace each other]
Thomas: I thought I’d never see you again...but now, here I am.
Marcus: I hate to break up the reunion, Thomas, but, what are you guys all doing here?
TK: Your friend told us that he sensed danger here in the Digital World, so we came to stop it! But...it doesn’t seem like there’s any trouble....
Marcus: Of course there isn’t any trouble! Not while I’m around! All the bad Digimon got scared away when they saw the power of my fists!!!!!
Thomas: [facepalm] He still hasn’t changed after all these years.
Keenan: Not in the slightest.
Marcus: Hey, wait...now I see what’s going on here.
Thomas: Um, what’s that?
Marcus: You just wanted to come here because you missed your friends, didn’t you?!?
Thomas: Uh, no. Where did you get that idea?
Marcus: Admit it, Thomas! You just wanted to see Gaomon again, so you came up with that excuse of an attack on the Digital World!
Mimi: Yeah, this guy’s got a point. I’m supposed to be at cooking class tomorrow, and now I’m gonna miss it because some guy wanted to play games!
Izzy: I’m supposed to fix the Prime Minister’s computer!
Sora: I still haven’t finished Miss Versace’s dress!
Matt: I’m gonna be in so much trouble with NASA once they find out I escaped my hospital bed!
Joe: Um, guys, I don’t think we’ll be able to do any of those things anyway. The portal back to the Real World just closed up.
[Everyone faints]
Gaomon: You have some very unusual friends, Master.
Thomas: Don’t remind me....


- Real World -

Kurata has returned to Japan. Right now, he is about to begin the next stage of his plan. Let’s check in on him, shall we?

Kurata: How is the new and improved Gizmon XT coming along, Nozomu?
Nozomu: It’s ready for a test run, Kurata! Where should we try it out?
Kurata: We’re bringing it to the Digital World. The DigiDestined should have arrived there by now, so let’s give them a little welcoming gift....


- Digital World -

Tai: Now isn’t this just perfect?!? We’re stuck in the Digital World again!!!!
Matt: All thanks to a certain someone who I’m not going to mention.
[The others glare at Thomas]
Thomas: I’m telling you, I thought I sensed something terrible was happening here!!! Give me a break!
Keenan: Yeah, leave Thomas alone!
Thomas: At least someone is sticking up for me.
Keenan: I’m not! You’re mine!!!!
[Keenan starts clawing at Thomas like a wild animal, before Gaomon separates them]
Gaomon: Let go of Master! He just made an honest mistake!
Matt: I’m never gonna forgive this guy!
Joe: Um, Matt...
Matt: Not now, Joe. I’m trying to tell him how much I hate him! He doesn’t even know how much trouble I’m in right now!
Joe: We are all gonna be in serious trouble!!! Look over there!!!!

The Gizmon XT has arrived!!!!

Chapter 3: Head Games

A familiar face pops out of the Gizmon XT’s head. The DigiDestined just stare at him blankly, but Thomas, Keenan, and Marcus recognize him immediately.

Marcus: We meet again, Kurata!!
Kurata: I don’t believe I’ve ever met you before. Oh! You must be thinking of my father!
Thomas: Kurata had a son? How come he never said anything before?
Kurata: He wanted to keep me safe from the likes of you brats! But now, the tables have turned. It’s going to be me who eliminates every single one of you!!!
Matt: Stay back, you guys! This guy means business!
Kurata: IT’S SHOWTIME!!!!!

Kurata presses a button and blasts all of the DigiDestined away into the sky. He grins maliciously, and, now that his deed is done, slinks back to the Real World.....


As it turns out, however, our heroes were not killed in the blast (cause if they were, we wouldn’t have a story, now would we?). They have all landed in separate locations across the Digital World. Matt, Gabumon, Joe, and Gomamon are on the beach, Sora, Piyomon, Lalamon, and Keenan land in a forest, TK, Patamon, Tai, and Marcus’ Agumon hang precariously off of a cliff’s edge, Izzy, Tentomon, Thomas, and Gaomon land in the Village of Beginnings, and Kari, Tailmon, Mimi, Palmon, Marcus, and Tai’s Agumon fall in the ocean.


- Matt and Joe -

Joe: Where are we?
Matt: This looks like the beach where we saw all of those phone booths.
Gabumon: Hey, it is that beach! Look! There they are!

Sure enough, the phone booths are back where they were the first time our heroes visited the Digital World. They seem to have been repaired, too.

Gomamon: So, if we’re on the beach, then where did everyone else land?
Matt: I don’t know, but I’d really like to find out! When I see that Thomas guy again, I am going to personally kick his ass!
Joe: Look, I know you’re upset, Matt, but fighting about it isn’t going to solve anything!

- Tai and TK -

They have managed to pull themselves up onto the cliff, but something seems to be going on with Agumon...

Agumon: Whew, that was a close one, Aniki.
Patamon: What happened to your voice, Agumon? And where did you get those wristbands?
Agumon: Hey, wait a minute, where am I?!!? What have you done with Aniki?!!!??
Tai: That’s not my Agumon! He must be that other guy’s Agumon!
Agumon: Ah, so that’s why I suddenly smell bad sushi around here! Aniki always smells nice and fresh.
Tai: Are you saying that I smell bad?!? Come here, you little freak!!!
[The two begin a fistfight]
TK: [sweatdrop] Just as hotheaded as ever.

- Sora and Keenan -

Keenan: I recognize this place. This is the forest where I was raised as a child!
Sora: You grew up here in the Digital World?
Keenan: Uh-huh. It’s a long story, though, and I don’t really like to talk about it.
[rustling in the bushes]
Piyomon: What was that?
Lalamon: Was it a ghost?
Voice: I finally found you, Keenan....
Keenan: Who’s there, and how do you know my name?
[Out of the bushes comes none other than...]
Keenan: Falcomon?!!!???
[Falcomon tackles Keenan to the ground and playfully starts wrestling him]
Falcomon: Keenan!!! I can’t believe you’re back after all these years!!!!
Keenan: Me too, but, could you please let go of me? There’s a girl here!
Falcomon: You’ve finally gotten married, too?!? Oh, this is wonderful!
Keenan: She’s not my wife! We just landed here in the forest together!
Falcomon: Come on, you don’t have to hide it. Your secret’s safe with me. [winks]
Sora: [facepalm] For the record, little bird thing, I’ve already got a husband! I just wonder what he’s doing right now....hopefully he isn’t threatening to kick somebody...

- Mimi, Kari, and Marcus -

Mimi: Why did we have to land in the ocean?
Kari: Too bad Joe didn’t land with us. We could have used Ikkakumon as a boat.
Marcus: Who cares about a stupid boat?!? I’m more concerned about which part of Kurata’s body I’m going to break first!!!
Agumon: I’m with ya, dude!
Marcus: “Dude”? When did you ever call me that before? And where are your wristbands?
Agumon: Wristbands? Are you confusing me for that other guy? ‘Cause he is uuuuuuglyyyy!!!
Marcus: That “guy” happens to be my friend!!! You’re gonna regret saying that, you little punk!
Agumon: Easy, man! I didn’t mean it!

THWACK!!!!!

[Marcus’ fist starts glowing orange]
Agumon: Dude, what’s up with your fist?
Mimi: It’s on fire!
Marcus: No, it’s not! That means that my Digisoul is fully charged!
Tailmon: Um, what happens when your Digisoul is fully charged?
Kari: Do we even want to know?


Meanwhile, Marcus’ Agumon is undergoing some strange changes...

Agumon: Agumon, evolve!!!!
Tai: What’s going on here?!? We haven’t even gotten in any trouble yet!

Agumon transforms into....

GEOGREYMON!!!!!!!

TK: Wanna run away screaming now?!?
Tai: Good idea!
Both: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
GeoGreymon: Wait, come back!!! I don’t know what’s going on!!!!


- Thomas and Izzy -

Izzy: It figures I get stuck with the one responsible for getting us into this mess!
Thomas: I’m sorry, would you prefer it if I left you here to fend for yourself?
Tentomon: Noooo!!!! Anything but that!!
Gaomon: Where are we, master?
Thomas: I have no idea. I don’t think we ever went to this part of the Digital World.
Tentomon: This is the Village of Beginnings. It’s where all of the Digimon are born at the start of their life. Digimon that die are also sent here to start their life over again.

Then, Elecmon, the village’s caretaker, rushes onto the scene, in an upset mood.

Elecmon: Shhhh, you woke up the babies!
Tentomon: Our apologies, Elecmon.
Elecmon: I see you’ve brought guests as well. They certainly look like distinguished gentlemen.
Izzy: Don’t you recognize me? I’m Izzy!
Elecmon: [gasps] One of the Chosen Children! I’m sorry I didn’t recognize you, almighty one.
Thomas: Can someone tell me what’s going on here?
Elecmon: Twenty years ago, eight special children saved the Digital World from Apocalymon. We have revered them as saints ever since. In fact, we built this shrine to honor them.
Tentomon: Look, Izzy, there we are!
Izzy: There’s Tai! And Mimi!
Thomas: Cool, where’s Gaomon and I?
[Thomas’ enthusiasm slowly disappears from his face once he realizes that he and Gaomon are not depicted in the shrine]
Gaomon: What’s wrong, Master?
Thomas: They didn’t include us......I saved the Digital World, too! How come I’m not a saint?
Gaomon: Master, please calm down...
Thomas: Are Marcus, Yoshino, and I less worthy than those kids?!?
Elecmon: Well, you see...
Thomas: Nope! I don’t want to hear it! Come on, you guys, let’s go find the others.
Gaomon: Yes, Master!
Izzy: No, Master! You two can go off by yourself. Tentomon and I are gonna stay here.
Thomas: Suit yourself.
[Thomas runs off into the distance, with Gaomon following behind shortly after]
Elecmon: Sheesh, I was just going to tell him that he must have saved the Digital World some other time that we haven’t commemorated yet.
Tentomon: Izzy, don’t you want to go look for our friends?
Izzy: Not with him in charge!
Elecmon: Well, as long as you two are here, help me take care of the babies!
Tentomon: Ooh, that sounds fun! What do you think, Izzy?
[A Babumon poops on Izzy’s pants]
Izzy: Yuck!!!


- Thomas and Gaomon -

Thomas: Ugggh, the nerve of that guy! I can’t believe we were left off!!!!
Gaomon: Master, what’s gotten into you? You’ve been acting unusual today.
Thomas: You wouldn’t understand, Gaomon.
Gaomon: You can trust me, Master. I won’t tell anybody.
Thomas: I’ve been through a lot of stress lately. You see, my father had a stroke a few weeks ago, and he’s been in the hospital ever since. And, to make things even worse, I kept getting these visions that something bad was going to happen to the Digital World. I didn’t want them to come true, so I rushed all of us here as fast as I could.
Gaomon: Master, I get the feeling that there’s more to this that you aren’t telling me. What’s really going on?
Thomas: Um, I was passed over for a big promotion at the hospital where I work. Instead they went with some other guy who barely ever comes in! He’s reckless, kind of a jerk...and I think he also might have a fetish for little boys. Why do I always get less respect than those who don’t deserve any?!?
Voice: I understand how you feel....
Gaomon: What was that, Master?
Thomas: Who’s there?
[The voice belongs to Jyureimon, a Digimon resembling a tree, who places one of his twisty branch arms on Thomas’ shoulder]
Jyureimon: My name is Jyureimon. I just so happened to overhear your plight, Thomas, and I want to help you.
Gaomon: I don’t trust him, Master. He looks like trouble to me.
Thomas: How can you help me? I’m sensing a lot of negative vibes from you.
Jyureimon: Revenge...you must get revenge on those who rejected you...
Thomas: Revenge?
Jyureimon: Have you ever gotten respect for all of the good things you’ve done?
Thomas: Well, I did win the Nobel Prize in Medicine for curing my daughter’s illness...but, other than that, nothing.
Jyureimon: Just as I thought. You are obviously a very intelligent young man, but the world just keeps dragging you down. I heard all about your being passed over for that promotion. Did it make you angry?
Thomas: A little...
Jyureimon: Tell me the truth...or you will never get what you want!!!

Thomas’ demeanor suddenly changes, as if his mind has been taken over by something else...

Thomas: No....I WAS VERY ANGRY!!!!!!
Jyureimon: [sudden confusion] Eh, where am I?
Thomas: [anger slowly builds up] I don’t get enough respect from my peers! I’m not treated with reverence for saving this world!! And worst of all, EVERYONE HATES ME NOW FOR BRINGING THEM HERE!!!!!! [deep breaths] Man, it feels good to get that off my chest!!!
Gaomon: Master! You’re losing it!!!
Thomas: Back off, Gaomon! I’m going to destroy the Digital World, starting with all of those little babies at the Village of Beginnings!!!!!
Gaomon: Please, Master! Get a hold of yourself!!!!

But it is no use. Thomas runs away from the forest, intent on causing some kind of damage elsewhere. Gaomon then notices that Jyureimon is now shuddering with fear.

Gaomon: I don’t like where this is going...I’ve got to go find help!


- Joe and Matt -


Meanwhile, Joe and Matt are evading a poop attack from a group of Numemon...

Joe: Man, I hate when this happens!
Matt: Gabumon, you know what to do, right?
Gabumon: Right!

GABUMON, EVOLVE INTO.....

GARURUMON!!!!!!!

GOMAMON, EVOLVE INTO.......

IKKAKUMON!!!!!

Matt: Now, hit ‘em with everything you’ve got!
Garurumon: Fox Fire!!!
Ikkakumon: Harpoon Vulcan!!!

BAM!!!!! The Numemon go flying off in all directions, with poop landing everywhere, including on Joe’s glasses.

Joe: Well, there goes another pair of glasses.
Ikkakumon: Joe, they just keep coming!
Garurumon: I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to hold them back, Matt!
Matt: Keep trying, you guys!
Numemon: All we wanna do is play a game of “Hot Potato” with you guys! Only, in this version, the potato is poop!!! Catch!!!
[SPLAT!!! A pile of poop lands on Joe.]
Joe: NOOOO!!!! You’re gonna pay for that!

IKKAKUMON, PERFECT EVOLUTION.....

ZUDOMON!!!!!

Numemon: Hey, we were only kidding!
Zudomon: Hammer Spar-

WOOOSH!!!! A flash of blue and red intercepts the remaining Numemon and sends them soaring far away!

Numemon: WE’RE BLASTING OFF AGAAAAAAIIIIIIIN!!!!!!
[twinkle]
Joe: Does anyone wanna tell those guys that they’ve got the wrong show?
Zudomon: Nah, I’m good.
Matt: I don’t think I’ve ever seen Zudomon use that attack before. What attack is that?
Joe: That wasn’t us...it was him....

Lying before them in a curled-up heap is none other than Gaomon, who has clearly tired himself out from running to the scene.

Gaomon: We've got a big problem on our hands...
Matt: Where’s that “Master” of yours? I wanna know so I can get even with him for trapping us here!
Gaomon: That's just it! Master has turned evil!!!!
Joe: What?!!?? How did that happen?!!!???
Gaomon: Master felt like he was unappreciated, so he decided to get revenge on all of us! I have to find him fast, because he wants to destroy the Digital World!!!
Matt: That is a big problem!!! As if that other guy wasn’t bad enough, now we’ve got two bad guys to take care of!!!!
Joe: Don’t worry, Gaomon! Matt, Gabumon, Gomamon, and I will all help you!
Matt: We will?
[Joe and the others glare at him]
Matt: Oh, I mean, we will! Yeah, that’s the ticket!
Joe: Now, where did Thomas say he was going?
Gaomon: He’s heading off to the Village of Beginnings to destroy all the babies!!!
Gomamon: That monster!!! We can’t let him do that to those poor innocent creatures!


-TK and Tai -

Tai: SOMEBODY HELP!!!!!!! THIS GUY’S GONNA CRUSH US!!!!!!
TK: Tai, I think I see someone over there!

Mimi, Kari, and Marcus run towards them with astonished expressions on their faces.

Marcus: GeoGreymon! Stop it!!!!
GeoGreymon: Aniki???
[GeoGreymon suddenly reverts back to Agumon and embraces Marcus]
Marcus: We’ve been looking all over for you! Somehow you got mixed up with this other Agumon.
Tai’s Agumon: Tai, buddy!!!! I finally found you!!!!
Tai: Why are you all bruised?
Tai’s Agumon: This guy beat me up for calling him ugly!
Tai: He did what to you?!!??? Grrrr, you’re gonna pay for that, you jerk!!!!
Kari: Settle down! Don’t take all your anger out on him! We should all be more concerned about trying to stop that freak Kurata!
Mimi: But how? We don’t know where the others are, and the portal back to the Real World is closed!
TK: Don’t worry, we’ll find them. Patamon, can you go up into the air and take a look?
Patamon: Sure thing, TK!

Patamon ascends to the sky and scans the surrounding area.

Marcus: Do you see anything from up there?
Patamon: [gasp] There’s smoke coming from the Village of Beginnings!!! Something terrible must be going on!!!!
Marcus: What’s he talking about?
TK: That’s where all the baby Digimon are born! We can’t let them all die!!!!


PATAMON, EVOLVE INTO.....

ANGEMON!!!!!!

TAILMON, EVOLVE INTO.....

ANGEWOMAN!!!!!!

PALMON, EVOLVE INTO......

TOGEMON!!!!!

Tai: Come on, you guys, we’ve gotta go see what all that commotion is all about!
All: Let’s do this!


Author’s note: I know this story hasn’t really been all that focused on Gaomon so far, but the next chapter will finally show him kicking some ass and chewing bubblegum....and he’s all out of gum!

I also wanted to clarify that I’m using the English names for the DigiDestined, and the Japanese names for the Digimon.

Things to look forward to in the next chapter:

THOMAS TRIES TO KILL BABIES!!!!
TOILET HUMOR!!!!
GAOMON KICKS SOME MAJOR ASS!!!!
KURATA KEEPS PULLING STRINGS!!!!
MORE TOILET HUMOR!!!!
JOE AND MATT BROMANCE!!!!
HIROAKI ISHIDA MAKES HIS MARK!!!!
EVEN MORE TOILET HUMOR!!!!
WEREGARURUMON ACTS LIKE A BADASS!!!!
DID I MENTION MORE TOILET HUMOR??!!??


On a more serious note, this chapter is dedicated to Michael Lindsay, the English voice of Joe and Greymon, who died the other day at the age of 56.

Chapter 4: Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes


- Matt, Joe, and Gaomon -

Gaomon and his new companions arrive at the Village, where Thomas is already causing chaos. At the moment, he is chasing a Koromon, Motimon, and Tokomon around in circles, while Tentomon, Izzy, and Elecmon cower in a nearby bush.

Elecmon: I can’t take this anymore! Someone’s gotta stop him from killing all those poor innocent babies!!!!
Tentomon: Can’t we just stay here in the bushes where it’s safe?
Joe: Leave it to us! We’ll save them!
Izzy: Hurrah! Joe and Matt have come to save us! As for you, I hope you have an explanation as to why your friend is going crazy out there!
Gaomon: None of this is Master’s fault! He was just talking to this tree and it’s like something took control of him!
Matt: Tree? You wouldn’t happen to be talking about Jyureimon, would you?
Gaomon: I believe that’s what he said his name was. Why do you ask?
Matt: Oh my God.....

Matt has a flashback to twenty years ago, when he fell victim to the same thing.....


If you want to improve yourself, you must fight Tai!!!!


Matt: It’s just as I remember! He pulled the same trick on me before and made me fight Tai!
Joe: So that’s what that was all about! I forgot all about that!
Matt: Yes, because it didn’t last for very long. I realized that Tai has his own way of going about things, just as I have my own, and it wouldn’t be right for me to consider him my enemy because of that.
Izzy: But how are we going to stop Thomas?
Gaomon: I’ll do it! The rest of you stay here. I can handle Master all by myself.
Matt: What do you think you’re doing, idiot?!!?? You’ll get killed out there!
Gaomon: That is a sacrifice I am willing to take....

Thomas: Hmmm, now what should I destroy next?
Gaomon: This is as far as you go, Master!
[Thomas turns around to see his Digimon partner glaring at him]
Thomas: I thought I told you to back off!!! The Digital World is going to be mine and no one, not even you, is going to stop me!!!!
Gaomon: But Master, don’t you realize that you’ve fallen right into a trap? Someone, or something, is taking advantage of your weaknesses to get you to do what they want!
Thomas: LIAR!!!!! I am bringing honor to the Norstein family name! And I did it all without your help!
Gaomon: [visibly tearing up] Master, I...I don’t even know who you are anymore!!! You’ve totally changed. Please stop this right now and come help us find the others.
Thomas: Don’t tell me what to do, stupid! Get out of my sight and leave me to go back to my business!
Gaomon: But...Master...
Thomas: I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!

That does it for Gaomon. What little sanity he had left has been shattered now that he’s been told that he doesn’t matter to his partner anymore. Tears begin streaming down his face, and he clenches his fist in anger.

Gaomon: You know what, Master? I hate you too!!!!


GAOMON, EVOLVE INTO.....

GAOGAMON!!!!


Thomas senses danger and he levitates himself out of harm’s way, leaving a confused Gaogamon to wonder what happened.

Thomas: Did I mention that I can fly now? It’s very useful, don’t you think?
Gaogamon: Grrrr, no fair!!!
[At that point, Kabuterimon, Ikkakumon, and Garurumon leap out from behind the bushes]
Garurumon: Fox Fire!!!!
Kabuterimon: Mega Blaster!!!!
Ikkakumon: Harpoon Vulcan!!!!
[Thomas effortlessly dodges all of these attacks]
Thomas: This is all very cute, but, alas, ineffective. In the meantime, choke on this!

Thomas’ fingers suddenly start shooting lightning bolts at his opponents. Kabuterimon, Gaogamon, and Ikkakumon get hit, which causes them to revert back to their regular forms. Luckily, Garurumon avoids this by hiding behind a nearby hut.


GARURUMON, PERFECT EVOLUTION!!!!

WEREGARURUMON!!!!


Thomas: Aw, crap. Now I’m screwed!
WereGarurumon: Kaiser Nail!!!!

SLASH!!! Thomas goes careening into the distance while swearing to get revenge on them.

Thomas: I SWEAR I WILL GET REVENGE ON YOOOOOOOUUUUUU!!!!!!!

Uh, yeah, thanks Thomas, I just said that....


Gaomon lies in a crumpled heap on the cold, battle-scarred ground. Matt, Joe, Izzy, Gabumon, Tentomon, and Gomamon all run over to comfort him.

Joe: Are you alright?
Gaomon: [teary-eyed] Master....is gone....I couldn’t get through to him....
Gomamon: You tried your best. I’m sure you’ll make up with him eventually.
Gaomon: [loses it and breaks down crying]
Gomamon: What? What did I say?!?
Gaomon: Please, don’t talk about Master anymore!!! I never want to see him again!
Joe: I still wanna know what happened to him that caused that change in personality. Do you have any idea, Izzy?
Izzy: Well, based on what Gaomon told us earlier, I have a theory that his friend has come under the control of some kind of external force.
Matt: But we need more evidence to prove that.
Tai: [in distance] Heyyyy!!!! You guys, over here!!!!!
Joe: That sounds like Tai! And look who’s with him, Matt!
Matt: TK!!!
TK: We’ve been looking all over for you!
Joe: Where have you guys been?
Tai: We met up with Mimi and Kari and that other guy a while ago. Then we noticed the smoke coming from the village. What happened here?
Matt: Well, Gaomon’s friend went crazy and started wrecking this whole place!
Elecmon: I think he may have been mad that we didn’t include him on our shrine to the DigiDestined, but, that’s just my opinion.
Mimi: [in distance] We could use some help, you guys!!!!
[Mimi, Marcus (who has a large bruise on his forehead), Kari, Sora, and Keenan approach from the forest]
Marcus: I’ve been hit!!!! Somebody get us a doctor!
Joe: I’m a doctor! What happened to you?
Marcus: I was just standing there minding my own business when I got ambushed by Tarzan and Jane!
Sora: Eheheheh, sorry about that. Keenan wanted us to travel by vine instead of walking.
Joe: [applies ice to Marcus’ head] There, that should take care of that nasty bruise.
Marcus’ Agumon: Aniki! Thank goodness you’re alright!
Marcus: Of course I’m alright!!! It’s gonna take a lot more than a blow to the head to put me down!
Matt: Well, now that we’re all here, there’s a serious matter we have to attend to. Why don’t you tell them, Gaomon?
Gaomon: Master has turned evil!!!!
Marcus: Ehhhh??!!?? [faints]
Joe: So much for not being able to put him down.
Gaomon: Master is going to destroy the entire Digital World! And, if we’re not careful, the Real World too!!!
Tai: Why should we help him? He’s the one who got us trapped here in the first place!
Mimi: Our families are probably worried sick about us right now! If he wants to destroy this place, then more power to him, but I just want to see my family again!
Gaomon: But...but...
Tai: No way! If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go find a way back on my own.
Marcus: Not so fast, you wimps!!!! What’s with all this quitter talk?!? You’re not going to let the Digital World get destroyed, are you?!?
TK: Um...no....
Marcus: Of course you’re not!!!! Gaomon needs our help, and we’re gonna help him! Who’s with me?
Joe: I am!
Gomamon: I am!
Marcus’ Agumon: I am, Aniki!
Lalamon: I am!
Keenan: Me too!
Marcus: Anyone else?
Matt: [sighs] If Joe trusts you, then I guess I can.

The others all agree, and they all shake on it.

Gaomon: Thank you all for finally coming around. Now let’s go save Master!
Tai: And I know some people who can help us.....


Author’s note: Next time, the DigiDestined from Digimon Adventure 02 will make their appearance. Some other things to look forward to...

CODY AND ARMADILLOMON START TEARING SHIT UP!!!!
RENAMON!!!! (lol jk)
KARI AND YOLEI STRIPTEASE!!!!

This chapter is dedicated to Robert Axelrod, the voice of Armadimon and so many others. He will be missed....


Chapter 5: You Dropped a Bombshell On Me, Baby


Some time later, Davis Motomiya, Ken Ichijouji, Yolei Inoue, and Cody Hida arrive in the Digital World. They are accompanied by Veemon, Wormmon, Hawkmon, and Armadimon, respectively.

Tai: Glad you guys could all make it.
Ken: What did you call us here for?
Marcus: Gaomon will explain everything.
Gaomon: My Master has gone crazy with power and we will need all of the help we can get to stop him.
Cody: So what’s in it for us? I mean, this is all so sudden...
Marcus: Look, do you want this place to be destroyed or what?!?
Yolei. No, sir!!!
Marcus: Then are you in this or not?
Davis: I am!!!
[the other three just shrug]
Tai: I’ll take that as a yes!!!


Let’s leave our heroes for a bit and head back to the Real World, where Kurata is preparing for the next stage of his plan. This can only end so well...

Kurata: Curse those stupid Americans!!! They still haven’t agreed to fund our little mission into the Digital World, and it’s making me very, VERY, VERY UPSET!!!!
Nozomu: Calm down, remember what your therapist told you!
Kurata: [deep breath] No matter, we don’t need their help anyway. Now that we have the “approval” of the Prime Minister, it gives us and our troops free reign to do whatever we want to those accursed Digimon!!!!
Nozomu: Boss, when do we send our men into the portal?
Kurata: Patience, my friend. Once our Gizmon XT are finished cooling off, the Digital World will be ours for the taking!!!!


That night, the American news channels are reporting on the disappearance of a young astronaut from the hospital room in which he was being treated.

Anderson Cooper: NASA is continuing its manhunt for the missing young astronaut Yamato Ishida, who was involved in a serious accident on Tuesday. Officials say that Ishida was delivered safely to Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach after the accident occurred, but mysteriously vanished from his hospital bed overnight. Our own Wolf Blitzer is currently in Japan with the young man’s father. Let’s send it over to him.
Wolf: Yes, Anderson, I am here with Hiroaki Ishida, father of the missing gentleman. What was your reaction when you heard this news?
Hiroaki: Wolf, we were covering the launch live here on Fuji TV, and I can’t tell you how much emotion was racing through my heart when I saw that rocket explode. I was relieved when I found out he was barely injured, but then I recieved a call from a gentleman at NASA who said that he went missing.
Wolf: And what was your reaction to that?
Hiroaki: I was appalled. I mean, they obviously had someone in there to keep an eye on him at all times, but I have no idea where that person was when this happened. If you ask me, he would’ve been much better off if they had just sent him back to Japan to recover. Something fishy’s going on with those NASA people.
Wolf: Where do you think your son is now? Do you think he’s been kidnapped or murdered or anything like that?
Hiroaki: Certainly not! My boy’s going to pull through this. After all, he’s got Ishida blood in him, and our family motto is “Never give up!”
Wolf: Truly inspiring words from the grief-stricken father of a missing astronaut. Back to you, Anderson.
Anderson: Thanks, Wolf. And now, all we can do is wait for a miracle...


Meanwhile, back at the ranch in the Digital World, Gaomon is making fast friends with Gabumon...much to the chagrin of Matt...

Gabumon: So, Gaomon, what’s your Perfect Evolution?
Gaomon: It’s called MachGaogamon. It gives me special laser cannons and a super punching ability! What’s yours?
Gabumon: I turn into a werewolf.
Gaomon: Master loved wolves....I wish he was still with us right now.
Matt: Are you going to be like that for this entire trip?!? I suggest you man up and stop whining about your master!
Gabumon: That was so uncalled for, Matt!
Tai: That poor little guy’s probably been through a lot. Try to go easy on him.
Matt: I didn’t ask for your opinion, Tai!!!
Tai: [ignoring Matt] Izzy, what’s the status on our location?
Izzy: My laptop says that we should be approaching the city area pretty soon.
[computer beeping]
Tentomon: What’s that beep?
Izzy: This is nuts! I’m picking up extremely high levels of distortion around the city!
Davis: You don’t think a Digital Gate opened up, do you?
Izzy: Yes, that’s exactly what I think it is. We should probably go and check it out.

The DigiDestined reach the city, only to be greeted by an entire army of Gizmon XT!!!! Kurata stands alongside them, laughing in that unmistakably evil way.

Kurata: Nice to meet you all again! I wasn’t expecting you to survive that last blast, but, it is what it is. Unfortunately, there’s no way you’ll be surviving this next one!!!
Marcus: Ah, that’s where you’re wrong, Kurata!!! We’ve still got more of us than you have robots!
Kurata: Is that so? Well, take a look at this little trick. [presses a button]

Suddenly, the Gizmon XT reproduce and add more to their ranks. What was once an army of eight is now an army of twenty.

Kurata: IT’S SHOWTIME!!!!!
Tai: Not if we have anything to say about it! Agumon, do your stuff!!!
Tai’s Agumon: I’m way ahead of you!


AGUMON, EVOLVE INTO....

GREYMON!!!


Marcus’ Agumon: Aniki, here I come!!!


AGUMON, EVOLVE INTO...

Greymon: Mega Flame!!!!
Garurumon: Fox Fire!!!!
Angemon and Angewoman: Sanctuary Bind!!!!
Ikkakumon: Harpoon Vulcan!!!!
Birdramon: Meteor Wing!!!!
Togemon: Chiku Chiku Bang Bang!!!!
Kabuterimon: Mega Blaster!!!!
Peckmon: Kunai Bane!!!!
Sunflowmon: Sunshine Beam!!!!

The attacks succeed in destroying several of the Gizmon XT, but more always come to take their place.

Davis: Now it’s your turn, Veemon!
Veemon: Okay, Davis!!!!


VEEMON, ARMOR EVOLVE!!!!

FLAMEDRAMON!!!!


Marcus: What in the world was that?
Davis: It’s called Armor Evolution.
Marcus: Cool! I want one!!!
Davis: Speaking of Armor Evolutions, how’s about the rest of you guys help me out?


ARMADIMON, ARMOR EVOLVE!!!!

DIGMON!!!!


HAWKMON, ARMOR EVOLVE!!!!

SHURIMON!!!!


WORMMON, EVOLVE!!!!

STINGMON!!!!


Kurata: Tsk, tsk, tsk. Now you guys are just getting more desperate.
Davis: I don’t like this guy’s tone! Destroy him, Flamedramon!
Cody: You too, Digmon!
Yolei: Shurimon, you and Stingmon take out the ones that are in the air!
Shurimon: Yes, master!
Gaomon: That’s my catchphrase!
Shurimon: Excuse me? Do you have any idea who you are talking to?!? I am the noblest warrior who ever stepped into the Digital World!
Gaomon: Yes, and you’re also about to get stepped on by one of Kurata’s machines!
Shurimon: Say what?
[SPLAT!!!!]
Yolei: Oh my goodness! Are you alright, Shurimon? [notices his lifeless body] No! He’s reverted back to Poromon!!!

Meanwhile, Davis and Flamedramon are trying to burn the machines, with help from Matt and Garurumon.

Garurumon: Fox Fire!!!
Flamedramon: Fire Shot!!!
Matt: You can do it, guys!
Davis: Keep it up!
Flamedramon: It’s no use, Davis, they just keep coming no matter how-YEEEOWCH!!!!!
Davis: What happened?
Flamedramon: Garurumon just shot flames at my tail!
Garurumon: Maybe if your tail wasn’t so big, I wouldn’t have hit it!
Flamedramon: You did not just insult my tail, did you, Wolfy-Boy?
[Greymon arrives on the scene and breaks up the fight, blasting them with his Mega Flame]
Greymon: Are you guys done fighting over here? In case you didn’t notice, a whole bunch of giant robot thingies are about to crush your partners!
Garurumon: Oh, no! I’m coming, Matt!!!!
Flamedramon: Me too, Davis!!!

Flamedramon rushes onto the scene and scoops up his partner just in time. Garurumon grabs Matt with his teeth and high tails it out of there as well.

Elsewhere in the city, Joe, Gaomon, Marcus, and Tai have snuck away from the battle to look for some medical supplies for Hawkmon’s injuries.

Joe: Tai, do you remember where the pharmacy is?
Tai: Which pharmacy? There’s more than one here!
Marcus: Just pick one of them so we can get out of this city!
Tai: Man, I wish I brought Greymon with us. He’s good with directions.
Marcus’ Agumon: Aniki, I don’t think I like it here.
Marcus: Come on, don’t tell me you’re scared of this place!
Marcus’ Agumon: It’s not that. It’s just...I have the strangest feeling that we’re not alone...
Mysterious Voice: Indeed, you are not.
Joe: Who said that?!?

A cloaked figure turns a nearby corner. They are someone who Gaomon instantly recognizes...

Gaomon: Master? Is that you?
[The figure takes off his hood and reveals that he is indeed Thomas, but his face has turned undergone a disturbing transformation. He now looks more like the Emperor from Star Wars than he does Thomas.]
Thomas: [deep voice] I AM NOT YOUR MASTER ANYMORE!!!! NOR AM I CALLED THOMAS!!!! I AM THE DIGIMON EMPEROR!!!!
Joe: What’s with the Palpatine getup? And why is your voice so deep all of a sudden?
Thomas: THAT IS NONE OF YOUR CONCERN!!! PLEASE LEAVE THE DIGITAL WORLD IMMEDIATELY, ALONG WITH ALL OF THE OTHER HUMANS! YOUR SPECIES HAS DAMAGED THIS WORLD BEYOND REPAIR, AND THE ONLY WAY IT CAN BE SAVED FROM PERMANENT DESTRUCTION IS IF YOU NEVER COME BACK!!!!
Tai: Yeah, try telling that to the guy who’s trying to invade right now!
Thomas: DO NOT CHANGE THE SUBJECT, HUMAN!!! I AM ORDERING YOU TO LEAVE THIS INSTANT!!!! BUT YOUR DIGIMON MUST REMAIN HERE WITH SO THEY WILL BE SAFE FROM YOUR CORRUPTION!!!
Tai’s Agumon: I’m staying with Tai, no matter what, you big bully!
Gomamon: That goes ditto for me!
Thomas: TRAITORS, ALL OF YOU! HOW DARE YOU REMAIN SUBSERVIENT TO THE ONES THAT HAVE ENSLAVED YOU FOR YEARS!!!
Gaomon: Master, this has gone far enough!!! First, you try to kill babies, and now, you want to kill your own partner?!? You’ve become just like Kurata!
Thomas: THAT FOOL KURATA ONLY WISHES HE WAS AS POWERFUL AS I AM! MY POWERS ARE CONTINUING TO DEVELOP EVEN AS WE SPEAK. IN FACT, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS!!!
[Thomas shoots lightning from his fingers, almost managing to hit Gaomon before Joe reflects the bolts with his glasses. Thomas sneers before disappearing from sight again.]
Gaomon: Thank you, Joe.
Marcus: He can shoot lightning now?!? Damn, he really has become Emperor Palpatine!!!
Marcus’ Agumon: Who’s that, Aniki?
Joe: That’s not important right now! We’ve got to warn the others!
Tai: But what about the medicine for Hawkmon?
Joe: I just remembered I have some extra supplies in my bag! We can use those!
[The others faint]

Chapter 6: I Can’t Think of A Song For This Chapter’s Title

CAUTION: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS EXTREME VIOLENCE, COARSE LANGUAGE, POTENTIALLY OFFENSIVE DEPICTIONS OF HISTORICAL FIGURES, AND IS OVERALL VERY WEIRD!!! PROCEED WITH CAUTION....


In the middle of Downtown Tokyo, a strange magnetic disturbance appears. Bolts of red and blue lightning strike at random, sending various pedestrians and onlookers scrambling for safety.

All over the world, these mysterious disturbances occur over and over again. What is causing these? Well.....


Back in the Digital World, the bolts of lightning are being manipulated by the Digimon Emperor, formerly known as Thomas Norstein.

Thomas: NOW, ATTACK THE DIGIDESTINED, MY ARMY!!!

Several of history’s greatest villains appear from the lightning, and proceed to shuffle off to confront their victims...


Meanwhile, Joe, Marcus, Tai, and Gaomon have rejoined the rest of the gang. A pile of destroyed Gizmon XT smolders away in the background, but their master, Kurata, seems to have disappeared.

Joe: [administers a shot to Poromon] Feeling better now?
Poromon: I have been through much worse.
Marcus: Where did Kurata go?
Davis: The coward ran away after we destroyed all his troops!
Veemon: You shoulda been there! It was awesome!!!
Gaomon: We ran into Master in the city. He’s calling himself the “Digimon Emperor” now!
Ken: “Digimon Emperor”?!? My god, it’s worse than I thought! He’s under the control of a Dark Seed!
Marcus: Huh? What are you talking about?
Ken: I used to call myself that name before Davis and his team saved me from BelialVamdemon’s control! He used something called a Dark Seed which made me heartless and cruel towards everyone, even my own family!
Davis: But how is this possible? We destroyed that creep!!!
Gabumon: He came back once before. Maybe he’s found...[sniffs]
Matt: What is it, Gabumon?
Gabumon: I smell something rotten.
Tai: [sniffs] Pheeeewww! I smell it, too!
Tentomon: The smell is coming from over there. I’ll go check it out!

He disappears over a hill, only to return a few seconds later, screaming at the top of his lungs.

Tentomon: AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! ZOMBIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEES!!!!!!
Izzy: Say what?
Tentomon: Zombies! I saw them! A whole army of zombies is heading this way!!!
Tai and TK: Awesome!!!
Joe: Not awesome!!! Don’t you realize what they’re gonna do to us?!? They’ll rip out our spines and eat them!
Matt: But there’s no such thing as zombies, right?

Before Matt can say anything else, a large army of the undead comes marching over the hill.

Matt: Then again, MAYBE THERE IS!!!!!
Cody: We’ve never had to fight the undead before! How are we supposed to stop them?!?
[their Digimon all band together and triumphantly run towards the advancing zombies]
Armadimon: Leave it to us, Cody!


And then, an all out brawl commences!!!


Palmon engages in battle with notorious gangster Al Capone...

Capone: Stand still, ya stupid plant! I can’t shoot ya if ya keep movin’ around!
Palmon: Poison Ivyyyyy!!!!!!
Capone: Don’t make me send my buddy Sinatra after... [suddenly gets dizzy] Hey, why is everybody spinning....[faints]


The two Agumon gang up on history’s greatest monster of all...Count Dracula!!!

Marcus’ Agumon: Aniki, this is fun! Why don’t you join in?
Dracula: I vant you to cease this attack!!!
[Suddenly, they are intercepted by famous horror movie actor Peter Lorre, who then bites Dracula’s arm off]
Dracula: GYAAAAAHHHH!!!! THE BITE, IT BUUUURRRRRNS!!!!!


Gaomon and Lalamon take on notorious mass murderer Charlie Manson...

Gaomon: Double Backhand!!! [smack]
Manson: [unhurt] I don’t roll around with poo people like that!
Lalamon: Nuts Shoot!!!
Manson: [still not hurt] You feel to blame? Are you mad? You feel like [gibberish ranting]?
Gaomon: Why isn’t it working on him?!?
Lalamon: I know what to do! Sing a Song!!!!
Manson: [continues his gibberish ranting, before finally passing out]
Lalamon: Phew! Glad that’s over!
Gaomon: Not for long! Look over there!

Marcus is surrounded by an army of Confederate soldiers straight out of Gettysburg!!!

Marcus: A little help over here, you guys?!?
Marcus’ Agumon: Anikiiiii!!!! Hang on, I’m coming!

This is a situation that calls for....GeoGreymon!!!!!

Soldier 1: Say your prayers, you damn Yankee!
Marcus: But, I’m not American, I’m Japanese!!!
Soldier 2: That’s even worse!!! Colonel, destroy that Japanese-
GeoGreymon: Horn Impulse!!!
[GeoGreymon headbutts all of the Confederate soldiers out of the way]
GeoGreymon: [picks up Marcus] Are you okay, Aniki?
Marcus: Thanks for saving me from those creeps!


MetalGarurumon and Zudomon protect Matt and Joe from the advances of creepy British television host Jimmy Savile...

Savile: [yodeling] Now then, now then, what do we have here, guys and gals? Two nice young gentlemen! Hey, would you chaps like to be on my show, “Jim’ll Fix It”? My good friends Gary Glitter and Rolf Harris will be there!
Joe: Matt, this guy’s starting to scare me! Get him away, get him away!!!
Savile: ‘ow’s about that, then? The young man thinks ol’ Jim is gonna hurt him! [yodels] Don’t worry, the police haven’t turned up anything yet and they probably never will!
Zudomon: Hammer...Spark!!!!!
[chop’s Savile’s head off with his hammer]
Savile: Goodness gracious, how’s about that, then?!? [head explodes]

Famous giant gorilla King Kong terrorizes Sora and Mimi, until Keenan comes swinging in on a vine, and kicks King Kong right in his Ding Dong!!!

Elsewhere, Tai and Greymon have just finished burning Benito Mussolini to death, and have now turned their attention to Joseph Stalin...

Stalin: The ridiculous Japanese monster must be destroyed!!!
Greymon: Not if I have my way with you first!!!
Stalin: Ha! Ha ha ha!!! This is beink a very funny joke, no? Mother Russia will be standink strong beside me as I am taking down foolish children’s toy!!!
Greymon: Mega...FLAAAAAME!!!!!!
Stalin: In Soviet Russia, fire burns-AAAAAAAAAUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! SOMEBODY PLEASE TO BE GETTINK IT OFF OF ME!!!!!!
Matt: Is that all of them?
Joe: Yeah, and thank goodness for that!


Thomas witnesses this from his evil lair and is not happy at all!

Thomas: NOOOO!!!! THEY’VE DESTROYED MY GLORIOUS ARMY!!!! NOW TO TAKE THINGS INTO MY OWN HANDS....

So he decides to go visit the cause of his problems in person...which can only end so well....

Thomas: I’M BAAAAACK!!!!
Gaomon: What do you want with us now, Master?!? You’ve caused us enough trouble as it is!
Thomas: STOP CALLING ME MASTER, YOU STUPID DOG!!!! I AM THE DIGIMON EMPEROR NOW!!!!
Gaomon: I am NOT a dog!
Thomas: YOU DIGIDESTINED HAVE FOILED MY PLANS FOR THE LAST TIME! NOW IT’S MY TURN TO HAVE SOME FUN!
[Thomas snaps his fingers, and some of the DigiDestined suddenly freeze, as if something about them has changed. He then snaps his fingers again and teleports himself back to his lair]
Marcus: Hey, are you guys alright? [waves his hand in front of Davis] Anybody home?
Palmon: Mimi, snap out of it!
Mimi: Ugh, what are you wearing, Palmon? Pink and green? Those colors totally clash! Why don’t we go shopping later so we can find something that matches?
Palmon: But...but I’ve always looked like this! Mimi, what’s wrong with you?
Gomamon: Joe, talk to me, please!
Joe: [backs away from Gomamon] Get away from me! I’m allergic to certain types of fur!
Gomamon: This is getting kinda freaky...
Tentomon: Are you okay, Izzy?
Izzy: I am alright at the moment, Tentomon. Although it would appear that I have an ache in my cranium right now.
Tentomon: Huh? What’s with the overly wordy sentences?
Veemon: Speak to me, Davis!!!
Davis: Ah, Kari’s alright! Don’t anybody lay a finger on her, because she’s mine! [grabs her chest]
Kari: Yikes!
Tai: Dude, what’s gotten into you?!? Keep your hands off of my sister!
Gaomon: What is going on? Some of you guys are acting very strange.
Mimi: My dress is torn, I’ve got to buy a new one!
Joe: I’m allergic to Digimon.
Izzy: Data indicates that we are in the middle of the forest, which is a wooded area with lots of floral and animal life.
Davis: I am the best of all the DigiDestined, so it’s only natural that Kari can’t get enough of me!
Sora: It’s like everyone’s personalities changed for no reason.
Ken: Hmmm....
Wormmon: Ken, you look like you’ve figured something out.
Ken: I think I know what’s going on here.
Yolei: What is it?
Ken: The Emperor has turned them into one-note caricatures of themselves.
Tai: Yeah, it’s like all of their character flaws have been exaggerated to a ridiculous degree!
Marcus’ Agumon: Well, what are we gonna do about it, Aniki? Our friends can’t stay like that forever!
Marcus: I’ll tell you what we’re gonna do! We’ve gotta go to where Thomas is hiding out and find a way to turn him, and our friends, back to normal!
Davis: An excellent plan! I’m so glad I thought of it!
Marcus: Can somebody shut this guy up?

Author’s note: That last part of the chapter is kind of a take that to Saban for screwing up most of the characters’ personalities in the dub.

Chapter 7: Tensions Rise

The Digimon continue to react with disbelief at their partners’ new personalities...

[Joe lathers himself with an unusually large amount of disinfectant]
Gaomon: What’s with all of that disinfectant?
Joe: [now speaking like Jerry Lewis] I don’t wanna risk getting infected, with the blisters, and the allergies! Painful, PAIIIINFUL!!!
Tai: Joe’s starting to scare me. Does he think he’s Jerry Lewis or something?
Tentomon: At least your partner is still acting like a human. Just look at what’s happened to Izzy!
Izzy: [robotic voice] According to my compass, we are currently heading north. Estimated time of arrival is 12:00 PM. Domo arigato Mr. Roboto.
Tentomon: He’s more machine than man now!
[Palmon approaches Kari, tears in her eyes]
Kari: What’s wrong, Palmon?
Palmon: [sniffling] Mimi said I was ugly! The Mimi I know loves me for who I am, not the way I look! But all she cares about now is fashion.
Tai: That’s horrible! Don’t listen to her, Palmon. You’re fine the way you are. But all the same, I do hope we can figure out a way to stop whatever’s causing this.
Davis: Hey, I know! Let’s go ask that creepy Emperor guy to switch our personalities back! I’ll lead us there because I’m the smartest.
Cody: How can we ask him if we don’t even know where he is? Even if we did, he’ll probably change the rest of our personalities, too!
Tai: You’re right, Cody. We’ll have to find a way to attack him when he least expects it. One of us has to venture out into the unknown and locate the Emperor’s hideout. That way, we’ll know what kind of defenses he has planned for us.
Sora: The only question is...which one of us is going to go looking for him?
Ken: That depends. Which one of us is really good at being stealthy?
TK: I think you should do it, Sora. Remember that time when you were helping us behind the scenes while PicoDevimon was tricking us? You saved Agumon from getting poisoned!
Tai: Yeah, I’m with TK on this one. All those in favor, raise your hand!
[everyone raises their hand, except for Mimi]
Mimi: Um, what are we voting for?
Tai: I guess it’s settled, then.
Sora: I guess I have no choice, then. Let’s go, Piyomon. We’ve got work to do.
Piyomon: Ooh, this’ll be fun! Just the two of us, on a big adventure!
Sora: Shhh! You’re going to have to be quiet!


Back in the Real World, Kurata and Nozomu return to NASA with news of their missing astronaut...

Tim Listerine: Where have you been, Kurata? In case you didn’t know, there’s a manhunt going on for our star astronaut!
Kurata: I am aware of that, gentlemen. That is why I have come to you now. I have information regarding Yamato Ishida’s whereabouts.
John Blewitt: Is this for real? Are you sure you know where he is?
Kurata: I have just returned from the Digital World, where Ishida, along with several other individuals, is being held captive by the Digimon. I tried to rescue them with my army of Gizmon XT, but, alas, the Digimon overpowered us and we were forced to retreat.
Tim: I don’t know. That story sounds a little far fetched to me. But I’m willing to trust you, because if we don’t find Ishida by next week, his father has threatened legal action.
Kurata: Hmm, well that certainly does complicate things. No matter, we will bring him back safely before that happens!
Nozomu: Sir, the U.S. Army is willing to loan us some tanks for this mission. Should we accept their offer?
Kurata: Go right ahead. We’ll need all the help we can get...


- Digital World -


It is now nighttime as the gang relaxes around a campfire while roasting weenies and marshmallows. Sora and Piyomon have yet to return from their secret mission, and the others eagerly await their return.

Tai: I wonder when those two are going to get back.
Matt: Don’t worry, Tai. Sora’s resourceful. She’ll make it back here in no time...I hope.
TK: You don’t sound too sure of yourself, bro.
Tentomon: Hey, Izzy, do you want some weenies?
Izzy: Yes. Please give me weenies. I require mass quantities of weenies.
Tentomon: I’ll take that as a “yes”.
Joe: LALALA NICE LADIIIIEEEES!!!!
Gomamon: Use your inside voice, buddy.
Keenan: I’ve never been this close to a campfire before. Yukidarumon would never allow it because she was afraid she’d melt. I can’t believe I missed out. These toasted marshmallows are great!
Marcus’ Agumon: Aniki, what’s a marshmallow? Is it as good as fried eggs?
Marcus: Try one for yourself.
Marcus’ Agumon: WOW! This is way better than fried eggs!
[Kari takes her marshmallow out of the fire, but some of it accidentally drips onto Mimi’s dress]
Kari: Whoops! Sorry about that, Mimi.
Mimi: EEEEEEEK!!!! My dress is ruined!
Kari: But you have a bunch of other red dresses that look exactly like that one.
Mimi: That’s not important! I can’t wear this one out in public anymore now that it’s got a big disgusting marshmallow stain on it!
Kari: And...she totally missed my point.
[Gaomon sits off to the side away from everyone else]
Lalamon: What’s the matter, Gaomon? You haven’t spoken that much today.
Gaomon: You know exactly what it is, Lalamon. The one time I finally see my Master again, he suddenly turns evil and wants nothing to do with me anymore. Is this journey even worth it?
Lalamon: Come on, don’t be like that. I’m sure that once we find him, we’ll change him back to his normal self in no time.
Gaomon: You say that like it’s the easiest thing ever. Are you not aware of how powerful he has become? He could destroy all of us just by snapping his fingers!
[Lalamon imagines a situation where Thomas, dressed up as Thanos from the Marvel universe, snaps his fingers, causing the whole universe to disintegrate]
Lalamon: Oh, now you’re just talking crazy!
Gaomon: You think I’m the one that’s talking crazy? Why don’t you look around, Lalamon?!?
[The others all stop what they’re doing and stare at Gaomon]
Gaomon: Everyone’s treating this like it’s some kind of fun, wacky adventure that will be over with in about five minutes! As far as I’m concerned, this could very well be the last adventure we ever have! You thought Yggdrasil was bad? Well, Master now has more power than three of Yggdrasil combined!!! And you guys all think this is just a game!!! Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to find Master myself.
Ken: Don’t do it! It’s too dangerous out there!

Before anyone can stop him, Gaomon rushes off into the woods on his own quest to save his friend...

Chapter 8: Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door

Sora and Piyomon return from their secret mission, only to find everyone else moping around.

Sora: We’re back! You guys won’t believe what we found!
Piyomon: Why all the long faces? Did someone die or something?
Tai: Gaomon’s run away! He was tired of us treating this situation like a joke, so he went to go fight the Emperor by himself!
Sora: What is he thinking?!? He can’t go in there by himself!!!! We’ve got to go stop him before he gets hurt!
Matt: Agreed. But first, we’d better get some shuteye. We’ll go after him first thing in the morning.


Back in America, another news report flashes across TV screens.

Lester Holt: While NASA continues its search for its missing astronaut, we’ve gotten reports of another missing person, this time in Japan. Nobel Prize winning doctor, Thomas H. Norstein, has disappeared without a trace. NBC News Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel has more details. What can you tell us, Richard?
Richard: Well, Lester, this is a breaking story that is still developing. Norstein, as you might know, won the Nobel Prize after curing his sister from a previously incurable condition. He was scheduled to deliver a lecture on medicine today at the Fuji TV building here in Shibuya, a neighborhood of Tokyo. Those who bought tickets to this lecture were very surprised when he did not show up.
[cuts to a pre-taped interview]
Japanese man: I was so excited to see his lecture today, but when he didn’t show up, we all began to worry.
Richard: Police were summoned, and they proceeded to check Norstein’s apartment in Downtown Tokyo. Nobody was there.
[cuts to an interview with a local police officer]
Policeman: We checked the entire apartment, but there was no sign of him.
Richard: Were there any signs of violent activity, like, maybe he was kidnapped, or something?
Policeman: No. Nothing like that. The whole room was clean.
Richard: But is this really a random disappearance? Local scientist Tadayoshi Kurata doesn’t think so. He believes there is a connection with the NASA situation.
[cuts to an interview with Kurata]
Kurata: These two disappearances are not a coincidence! The missing people in question were both abducted into the Digital World! I’ve seen them there with my own two eyes, held captive by the Digimon menace. We must form a rescue operation as soon as we can before they...hey, what are you doing?
[Richard’s bodyguards take Kurata away while he continues rambling]
Richard: As I’m sure you heard in that, he believes that there is a Digimon connection to these two events. Until we find solid evidence supporting that claim, we are just going to have to assume that these two incidents are not connected. Reporting from Tokyo, Richard Engel, NBC News.
Lester: Thanks, Richard. Coming up, we’ll take you live to Capitol Hill where Nancy Pelosi is reported to be sucking someone’s blood.


Gaomon travels through trees, bushes, and other unmentionable things on his way to confront the Emperor. He comes across a nervous looking Koromon.

Gaomon: What’s the matter, little guy?
Koromon: You’re not headed for that castle, are you?
Gaomon: What castle?
Koromon: Don’t play dumb with me! Stay away from that place if you know what’s good for you!

Gaomon ignores the Koromon’s warning and continues on his journey. When he reaches a clearing in the forest, he gasps. Right before his eyes stands an enormous castle with lightning shooting out the top. It is unlike anything he has ever seen.

Gaomon: This must be where Master is hiding out. I’ll have to sneak around back so I won’t attract any suspicion.

Unfortunately, he doesn’t make it very far inside. Standing in front of the back entrance are two very large and regal-looking Digimon. One is pink, and is holding a red rose in his hand, while the other is blue with shiny golden armor.

LordKnightmon: Excuse me, little man, but where do you think you’re going?
Magnamon: No one is allowed to enter the Digimon Emperor’s castle without prior permission!
Gaomon: So, he is here after all. I must speak with him.
LordKnightmon: I’m afraid we can’t do that, you handsome little devil. We’ll have to ask you to leave.
Gaomon: Sorry, but I’m not leaving unless you let me speak with Master....did that guy just call me handsome?
Magnamon: Okay, Mr. Stubborn, you’re coming with us!
[Magnamon picks up Gaomon and carries him inside]
Gaomon: Hey! Let me go!!!
Magnamon: You wanted to go inside, didn’t you? I’m just fulfilling your request, for it will be the last one you ever make!
Gaomon: [gulp]


Meanwhile, the others are walking through the woods on their way to rescue Gaomon. A strange noise has been bothering them for a while.

Tai: That noise is getting louder, which means we must be getting closer!
Izzy: [still speaking in a robotic voice] Data indicates that we are currently traveling south, which is one of the four cardinal directions on a compass, a tool that people use to navigate.
Tentomon: We get it already, Izzy! Stop talking!!!
Mimi: My sandals are getting worn out! I wanna go to the mall and get new ones!!!!
Davis: Well, I want Kari to caress me, her talented and handsome boyfriend!
Kari: Yuck! Get away from me, you creep!
Cody: Can everyone just SHUT UP??!??
Yolei: I never knew you were so savage, Cody.
Cody: I’m a lawyer now. It’s par for the course when it comes to being one.
Joe: [still speaking like Jerry Lewis] Owie owie, my ears don’t like the loud noises!
Gomamon: Joe, no one cares.
Matt: Hey, everyone! Look at that big castle over there!
[Everyone turns their attention to Matt. He is pointing at the same castle that Gaomon was taken into earlier. Of course, they are not aware of this yet.]
TK: What are those things that look like lightning bolts coming out of it? That must be what’s making the noise we’ve been hearing!
Davis: Of course! I knew that the whole time, cuz I’m so smart!
Veemon: Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, buddy.
Sora: This is what me and Piyomon saw on our mission last night! We didn’t bother trying to enter because there were guards swarming all over the place.
Ken: Well, it looks like there’s nobody there now. Let’s go!
[They make their way to the main entrance until they, too, are stopped by two large Digimon. One of them is bluish-purple, while the other one is silver with a long red cape.]
Craniummon: Halt! Nobody is allowed to enter this castle.
Dukemon: That is, unless you would be willing to engage us in battle?
Marcus: That sounds like a challenge! I’ll take you guys on!
Matt: I’m right behind you!
[Marcus’ Agumon evolves to GeoGreymon, while Gabumon evolves to WereGarurumon.]
Dukemon: Ha! Surely you must be jesting?
Craniummon: You think you can stop us with those pathetic creatures? I’ve seen Koromon that look more threatening than that!!!
GeoGreymon: Grrrr!!! Taste my fists!
[Craniummon effortlessly blocks all of his punches like he’s a Dragon Ball villain. He then grabs GeoGreymon’s tail and starts swinging him around. Finally, he throws him back on the ground, de-evolving him back into Agumon.]
Marcus’ Agumon: Sorry, Aniki. I couldn’t stop him.
Marcus: Damn you, Royal Knights!
WereGarurumon: Now it’s my turn to have some fun! Kaiser Nail!!!
[He gives Dukemon a good SCRATCH!!!! But it barely even leaves a mark.]
Dukemon: Just a flesh wound. You'll have to try better than that!
[WereGarurumon grabs Dukemon’s cape and starts yanking on it in an attempt to make him topple over. Again, it has no effect.]
Dukemon: Ha! It still does not hurt! I, Dukemon, am no match for any of your pathetic attacks!
[He picks up WereGarurumon and pulls his pants off. This has the effect of turning him back into Garurumon, as he falls to the ground with a big THUD!!!!]
Matt: Garurumon, are you alright?
Garurumon: [blushing] I was just naked!!! How do you think I’m feeling??!!??
Cranuimmon: Give up, fools! You are clearly outmatched! Surrender now or we will be forced to execute you on the spot.
Tai: He's right. Guess there’s no other choice. We surrender...


Inside, LordKnightmon and Magnamon bring Gaomon before the Emperor.

Magnamon: Your Highness, we caught this Digimon trying to sneak in the back entrance!
[LordKnightmon giggles slightly at this statement. The Emperor ignores him.]
Emperor: So, we meet again, old friend. I told you already that I don’t need you anymore!
Gaomon: I only came to save you from yourself, Master! Can’t you see what a monster you’ve become?
Emperor: Royal Knights, leave us. I want to speak with our guest alone.
Magnamon: Yes, O Great Emperor.
LordKnightmon: May I add that you are looking fabulous today, sir?
Emperor: Okay, now talk! Where are the others?
Gaomon: I came to stop you by myself!
[Craniummon and Dukemon enter with Gaomon’s friends]
Craniummon: Your Majesty, we have more prisoners for you.
Tai: Let us go, you big bullies!
Emperor: Ah, so you did bring them, after all! Why did you lie to me?
Gaomon: What are you guys doing here? I told you to stay behind!
Matt: Yeah, but we were afraid that something like this was going to happen to you! And now look where we are!
Tai: Alright, so what are you planning, Emperor?
Emperor: Nothing, really. Just the entire destruction of the Digital World as we know it!
[everyone gasps]
Emperor: Did you see those bolts of lightning outside? That’s part of the process I’m using to power up my Doomsday Machine!
Tai: Doomsday Machine?
Emperor: Yes. In order to power it up, I need to siphon all of the Digital World’s energy, but doing so creates a lot of electricity. Not just any electricity, mind you. This is a special kind that can absorb all energy around it!
Matt: Wait, does this mean that...
Emperor: It certainly does! All of the Digimon in this vicinity will slowly lose their energy and die. You don’t have to worry about yours, though. They’ll be safe here, inside their new cage!!!
[The Emperor presses a button, and a large cage drops on our heroes from above.]
Tai: Let us out of here!!! You can’t kill all of those Digimon!!!
Emperor: Oh, but I can! I’ll have to make a few sacrifices if I want to take over both of our worlds!
Sora: And just how are you going to accomplish that?
Emperor: That’s what my machine is for! Once it’s fully powered up, it will merge the worlds together!!!
Gaomon: You’ve gone crazy, Master!
Emperor: No, I haven’t. This world doesn’t have much time left anyway. My minions tell me that the barrier between our worlds has been breached.
Marcus: Kurata’s back...I can sense it!
Emperor: He is, indeed. But this time, he is not alone. He has brought the U.S. Army with him, along with a whole bunch of military tanks. Don’t worry about him, though. My forces will easily take care of him.


On the other side of the forest, Kurata’s army approaches...

Kurata: Keep moving forward, men! We have to save those hostages!

For some odd reason, the tanks have not been using any of their ammunition. But Kurata doesn’t even bother to ask why, as there are more important things on his mind.

Army Commander: Sir, there’s a huge castle up ahead. Should we open fire on that?
Kurata: No, commander, I think that may be where our hostages are being held. We’ll have to storm the entrance on foot.


Author’s note: Whew! I finally got this chapter completed! I had a hard time with this one because I wasn’t sure how to work on the battle with the Royal Knights. There was also a problem where I lost my progress on it, so I had to start over again.

Chapter 9: It’s The End of The Digital World As We Know It! (Part 1)


Inside the castle of the Digimon Emperor, our heroes are held captive. As Kurata’s army approaches, things grow more and more tense.

Emperor: Royal Knights, watch over the prisoners for me. I’m heading up to the tower to see how things are going outside.
Magnamon: Your wish is our command, Your Highness.
Tai: You’re just going to leave us here? That’s insane! What if they break down the door?
Emperor: Oh, well. It’s your funeral.

He leaves them behind and heads up to the castle tower.

Joe: I’m allergic to tight spaces, glavin!!! Get me outta here!!!!
Matt: Ugh, if I have to remain stuck in here for the rest of my life, it is NOT going to be next to him! Lemme scooch over next to-
Izzy: Ouch. You have stepped on my foot. Please refrain from doing it again in the future.
Gaomon: [sighs] This is all my fault. If I hadn’t run off on my own then none of this would have happened.
Matt: Damn right, it’s your fault! You and your “master” have given us nothing but trouble since we got here!!! If you were the first of us to die then I wouldn’t even care.
Kari: Come on, leave the poor guy alone, Matt.
Gaomon: No, he’s right. Maybe we should just give up, because there’s no way we can get out of this one.
Marcus: You're not giving up, are you? That’s not the Gaomon I know! Over these past twelve years, you’ve helped me and Agumon out of more situations than I can remember! We just need the perfect distraction.

Before he can think of one, an army tank breaks through the front door! Magnamon and LordKnightmon rush to see what the cause is.

LordKnightmon: Who goes there?!? If you want to enter, then you have to get by myself, or my splendid counterpart Magnamon.
[the tank shoots at his rose and destroys it]
LordKnightmon: Watch where you shoot that thing, you savages! Now you’ve destroyed my beautiful rose!
[he receives a blast to the chest and falls to the ground]
Magnamon: LordKnightmon, no!!!
LordKnightmon: [coughing] Magnamon, my love, avenge my death!!!
Magnamon: This is bad!! I must go inform the Emperor!!! [runs upstairs]

The tank’s roof hatch opens up, and out pops a very familiar face...

Yoshino: Man, that guy was getting annoying! Did I miss anything?
Marcus: Yoshino?
Gaomon: Yoshino?
Marcus’ Agumon: Yoshino?
Lalamon: YOSHINOOOO!!!! [flies over to her friend and latches on to her face]
Yoshino: It’s good to see you, too, Lalamon.
Matt: You know this chick?
Gaomon: She was part of DATS with Masaru and Master.
Marcus: How did you get here?
Yoshino: Oh, I just snuck aboard one of those army tanks that Kurata brought here. Now, stand back, everybody.
Tai: Why?

Yoshino fires another shell at the cage, blowing the whole thing apart!

Yoshino: That’s why.
Marcus: Come on, let’s get out of here! The Emperor’s probably heading back downstairs right now.
Gabumon: [suddenly screams in pain] AGH!!!
Matt: Gabumon, what’s wrong?
Gabumon: There’s a piece of metal stuck in my leg!
Matt: It must have gotten stuck in there when the cage was destroyed. We’ve gotta pull it out, quickly! The Emperor will be back any minute now!

Yoshino gets out of the tank in order to help. Using supplies from Joe’s medical kit, Matt and Yoshino treat Gabumon’s wounds.

Gabumon: This day hasn’t been going too well for me. First my pants fall off, and now this!
Yoshino: What was that about pants falling off?
Matt: Never mind. So, how do you feel now?
Gabumon: I’ve been better.
Matt: I’ll carry you the rest of the way out of here. Now, come on, let’s get out of-
[The Emperor reappears from upstairs]
Emperor: What do you think you’re doing?!!???
Tai: Oh, great, now we’re screwed.
Emperor: You’ve broken out of your cage! That’s not very nice! I’ll have to put you back in another one!

Kurata’s tank enters the room with a CRASH!!!!

Kurata: Not so fast! You’re not going to be putting anyone in a cage!
Emperor: Ah, so you’ve finally made it after all. If you’re here to destroy the Digital World, then you’re too late. I’ve already beaten you to it!
Kurata: So me and my army destroyed all that land for nothing? No fair!!! But, that’s no big deal. I’m still going to take your hostages away from you!
Emperor: Nuh-uh!
Kurata: Yuh-huh!
Emperor: Nuh-uh!
Kurata: Yuh-huh!

While the two of them argue like little kids, Tai’s and Marcus’ Agumon sneak around to the back of Kurata’s tank and give it a healthy dose of Baby Flame! Unfortunately, this also has the effect of starting its engine up...

Tai’s Agumon: Whoops!
Kurata: What’s going on?!? I didn’t start this thing up!
Marcus: Get out of the way, everyone! Things are gonna get crazy!

Kurata loses control of his tank and drives it around the throne room like he’s high on cocaine. But now the tank is heading for something very important to the Emperor’s plan...

Emperor: No! He’s going to hit the Doomsday Machine!
Kurata: Well, looks like it’s game over for me...

And that’s the last anyone ever hears from Kurata, as what follows a gigantic crash of metal and glass. The tank hits the Emperor’s Doomsday Machine head on, instantly killing him. A fire starts in the remains of the tank, and is starting to spread. Static electricity also begins to crackle around the wreckage.

Emperor: That fool!!! Now the machine is going to overload! I’m so mad that I...I...
[The Emperor starts coughing up something. He spits it out, and it turns out to be a Dark Seed! The Emperor collapses to the floor, having lost his power. All of the ones whose personalities he changed return to normal as well.]
Yoshino: What is that thing?
Ken: A Dark Seed. But how in the world did he come in contact with it?
TK: Hey, I think he’s waking up!
Thomas: [now speaking in his normal voice] Huh, what just happened? How did I get in here?
Gaomon: Master! You’re okay!!!
[Gaomon embraces his master for the first time in what seems like forever]
Mimi: Palmon, I’m sorry I insulted you before. I don’t know what came over me!
Palmon: That’s okay, Mimi. It wasn’t your fault.
Davis: Sorry about trying to grope you earlier, Kari.
Kari: No, it’s alright. Not the first time that’s happened to me. (Author’s note: darkest joke yet!)
Joe: [no longer speaking like Jerry Lewis] Man, am I glad I’m not a Jewish stereotype anymore. I don’t even like Jerry Lewis movies!
Gomamon: You and me both, buddy!
Tentomon: Are you back to normal, too, Izzy?
Izzy: [no longer robotic] Affirmative.
Tentomon: What?
Izzy: Nah, I’m just messing with you. What kind of moron would talk like that?
Marcus: I hate to break up the reunion and all, but that machine is gonna blow this entire castle apart!

The machine pulses with static electricity, as it gets ready to blow up.....

Chapter 10: It’s the End Of The Digital World As We Know It! (Part 2)


Outside the castle, Kurata’s men start retreating once they see smoke coming out of the windows.

Commander: Pull back, men! That thing is gonna blow!
Nozomu: But Kurata’s still in there with the hostages! He isn’t responding to any of my calls!
Commander: Hey, look! There’s some people coming out of it right now!

The “people” he’s referring to are the Royal Knights. Part of Dukemon’s cape is on fire, while Magnamon carries the body of LordKnightmon in his arms.

Nozomu: Well, what are you waiting for? Blast them! You haven’t blasted a single thing since we got here!
Commander: I’m afraid I can’t do that. You see, I’m not really a US Army commander...


The commander pulls off his army uniform and reveals that he is actually...

Satsuma: I’m Rentarou Satsuma, former leader of DATS and chief of the Tokyo Police. You, my friend, are under arrest for unauthorized use of foreign military aid!
Nozomu: You don’t have any proof!
Satsuma: On the contrary, I most certainly do. We have been spying on you two for the past few days. This entire “U.S. Army” force you brought along is really made up of my police force! Maybe you guys aren’t as smart as you say you are!


Back inside...

Yoshino: We have to get out of here, quick! Commander Satsuma is waiting for us!
Marcus: He’s here, too? What is this, a DATS reunion?
Yoshino: I’ll explain later. Now hurry up before this place collapses!
Tai: You go first, Matt! Gabumon’s safety is important!

Matt, carrying his wounded friend in his arms, is the first to escape. He is followed by Keenan and Falcomon, and Cody and Armadimon.

Thomas: Even if we evacuate the castle, we still won’t escape the explosion. The impact from the crash is causing my machine to overheat. Once it reaches 100 degrees, we’ll all be wiped out! Someone needs to destroy it before that can happen!
Gaomon: I’ll do it.
Thomas: What? Are you crazy?!?
Gaomon: No, Master, I am completely serious.
Thomas: But you might die!
Gaomon: That no longer matters to me, Master. We all die eventually, and I’m glad I got to spend my time together with you.
Thomas: [wiping back tears] If...that’s what you want, then let’s do it!

GAOMON, EVOLVE INTO....MIRAGEGAOGAMON!!!

MirageGaogamon: The rest of you should get out of here! I will take care of the machine!
Marcus: You heard him!

Marcus and the rest of the gang hightail it out of the crumbling castle. Only Thomas now remains.

MirageGaogamon: Master, why haven’t you evacuated yet?
Thomas: I just wanted to say...thank you. Thank you for being there for me all these years. Farewell, old friend.
MirageGaogamon: [teary-eyed] Farewell, Master...

And with that, the two friends part ways for the final time.

MirageGaogamon: FULL MOON BLASTER!!!!!!


Thomas catches up with the rest of the gang on a hill overlooking the castle. No sooner than he arrives there, the castle explodes in a blinding yellow and red light, while pieces rain down all over the area (one of them hitting Joe in the head). Everyone is glad that they made it out alive. But Marcus realizes that not everyone is there.

Marcus: Hey, Thomas, where’s Gaomon?
Thomas: He...he didn’t make it...he decided to destroy the machine himself so he could save the rest of us.
Joe: You mean...he’s dead?
Thomas: I’m afraid so. [tears start forming in his eyes]
Marcus’ Agumon: That was such a brave thing to do. [starts crying as well] Hold me, Aniki!!!
Matt: I take back everything bad I ever said about him! He’s more of a hero than I am!

And then everyone else starts crying. Particularly upset are Marcus, his Agumon, and Lalamon, who spent all those years together with him in The Digital World.

Kari: Hey, wait! What’s that over there?
Keenan: There’s something glowing in the ruins of the castle!

Thomas rushes over to see what it is. It turns out to be an Egg. He picks it up and brings it over to everyone else.

Thomas: This Digimon Egg was in the rubble!
Joe: I think that might be your friend, Thomas. When a Digimon receives fatal injuries, its data reforms into an egg, and its life cycle starts over again.
Thomas: So, he’s going to be okay after all?!?
Joe: Yes, but he may not remember you. Sometimes, a Digimon loses all of its prior memories when it’s reborn.
Marcus: When this happened to my Agumon, he retained all of his memories! So who’s to say that Gaomon won’t keep all of his?
Marcus’ Agumon: That’s right, Aniki!
Thomas: So, when’s he going to hatch?
Izzy: Anywhere between a few hours or a few days.
Cody: In the meantime, how the hell are we going to get home?
Satsuma: Well, I think the portal Kurata used to get here is still open. Let’s hurry before it closes again!

Author’s note: Not gonna lie, I actually teared up a little while I was writing Gaomon’s sacrifice. There’s only one chapter left, and hopefully, all loose ends will be tied up there.

Chapter 11: Happy Trails To You


Wolf Blitzer: This is Wolf Blitzer reporting, once again, from Tokyo! As you can probably tell from my voice, we have some exciting news! The two missing persons, Yamato Ishida, and Thomas H. Norstein, have both been found alive and well!!! Apparently, they were in the legendary Digital World this entire time, along with several other individuals who had not been reported missing. Ishida was rushed back to Florida by his superiors at NASA, while Norstein made his way over to the Fuji TV building where he was supposed to give a lecture yesterday...
[report cuts to taped footage of Thomas at his lecture...]
Thomas: I do apologize for being late. Now, I was supposed to lecture you students about medicine, but there’s been a change in plans. Instead, I want to talk about the possibilities of other worlds. Do they exist?
Student: Umm, I don’t know...
Thomas: Well, I know of at least one. It’s called the Digital World, as I’m sure you’ve all heard of by now. Over the past few days, I nearly destroyed it. But I was able to stop myself with the help of...an old friend of mine...
[cuts back to Wolf Blitzer]
Wolf: [wiping away tears] Truly inspiring words, folks.


Two days later, the whole gang (minus Matt, who’s on the Moon) shows up at Thomas’ apartment to see the egg hatch. His sister, Relena, is also there, as Thomas has a surprise for her.

Marcus: Guys, be quiet, I think it’s about to hatch!
[crack crack]
Mimi: Ooh, what’s gonna be inside???
Joe: We’re hoping for another Gaomon. We’ll just have to see.

The egg finally breaks open, and out pops a small, fuzzy blue Digimon. It certainly is cute, but it isn’t a Gaomon.

Digimon: Nya nya nya!
Thomas: What is that?!? That’s not Gaomon!
[the Digimon starts bouncing around the apartment]
Joe: I don’t know, I’ve never seen that one before. [the Digimon bounces on his head] Get off of my head, you crazy thing!
Izzy: [analyses its data] Apparently, it’s called Wanyamon.
Thomas: But that’s impossible! When Gaomon hatched out of his egg, he was already fully grown!
Izzy: I don’t know the exact circumstances of your situation, but if you let me finish, I was about to say that Wanyamon is the baby form of Gaomon!
Thomas: I’m sorry, but there’s no way that this...THING...is what Gaomon comes from! It looks nothing like him!
Wanyamon: Nya nya! Wanya play, Master?
Thomas: What did you say???
Wanyamon: Master, don’t you want to play with me?
Tai: Awkward...
Thomas: Oh, my goodness, it is you!!!! Gimme a hug!

Thomas picks up his friend, and their hug causes Wanyamon to start glowing. This can only mean....

Gaomon: Master, thank you for finding me again.
Relena: OMG, he’s just as cute as I remember!!!
Thomas: Well, you can keep remembering, because he’s yours now.
Relena: Whaaaa????
[everyone’s jaws drop at the same time]
Marcus: Plot twist!!!
Joe: You’ve gotta be kidding, right? You’ve been wanting to see him again for the past few years, and now that he’s-
Gomamon: [knocks out Joe] Be quiet, Joe! Let him explain!
Thomas: The time has come for me to pass him on to a younger generation. Surely the rest of you can understand, right?
Sora: You know, now that you mention it, Matt and I have been talking about giving Gabumon and Piyomon to our son when he’s older.
Tai: And I can’t keep holding on to Agumon forever.
Tai’s Agumon: Huh?
Davis: Well, I’m not giving up Veemon! Who else is going to accompany me when I start up my traveling noodle cart?
Joe: [waking up] Eh, what did I miss?
Gomamon: Joe, if you ever have kids, would you consider giving me to them?
Joe: If I ever get married, sure!

And the whole meeting devolves into a discussion about what they are going to do with their Digimon...


Now, I’m sure you know how the rest of the story goes if you’ve seen the 02 finale. As for me, I enjoy being with Miss Relena very much. She isn’t as strict as Master was, but I don’t mind.

Marcus eventually gave his Agumon to his little sister, Chika, who enjoys hanging out with Miss Relena, so I see him very often.

Yoshino and Lalamon still work for the police, along with Commander Satsuma. The last time I saw them was when we were pulled over for speeding, but, the less said about that, the better.

And what happened to Master? He opened up his own hospital in Shibuya. I go and visit him there sometimes, and, on one of these occasions, he had something special to show me. There, in his hands, he held up a picture of the mural in the Village of Beginnings, which now has a section dedicated to me...

THE END


Author’s note: Well, there you have it. I’ve finally finished this story! I started it almost an entire year ago, and it’s easily the longest I’ve ever taken to finish one...at least until I finish that MHA fan fiction that I’ve put on hold due to the coronavirus.

What is my next story going to be? Well, I was thinking about a Panty and Stocking one, but I don’t know if the forums will allow it because that would easily be the dirtiest story I ever write.
