[OPEN SCENE : EMPEROR’S BASE]

Wormmon : Oh oh, the emperor isn’t in a good mood today, which is like every other day... ... Maybe I can cheer him up : Hey Ken, did you heard the one about the man who.... I guess you heard that one already... ... Master, what are you watching?

[TV INTERVIEW]

Reporter : Join us as we talk with young genius, Ken Ichijouji!

Ken : I’m just your average boy genius.

Reporter : You’re so modest, do you spend a lot of time studying?

Ken : Some geniuses do, but I prefer toplay soccer.

Reporter : [laughing] And funny, too! They say genius is 1% brain and 99% hard work! Do you think that’s true?

Ken : Mine’s 2%.

Reporter : [laughing again] You ARE funny! And the thing you came from such humble beginnings in an everyday appartment building, are you just an average kid?

Ken : Yeah, there’s absolutely nothing I love more than being average!

Reporter : So, you’ve mastered chess, 3D chess and the Donkey Madness video game! Is there anything you can’t handle?

Ken : [laughing] Reporters?

Reporter : [laughing again] The big question on everyone’s mind is what does a genius do for fun when he’s not solving complex math problems, thought I know that maths is already more fun than most people can handle!

Ken : Well, I’m always busy writing one of my computer programs, but like I said earlier, my favorite thing to do is play soccer.

Reporter : I’m sure you’ll be a big success in that too, Ken! I don’t see how anything could possibly get in your way!

[BACK WITH THE DIGIMON EMPEROR]

Digimon emperor : [growl] Um....

[IN KEN’S MEMORIES]

Reporter : Well, that’s enough, thanks for your time, Ken! Best of luck!

Ken : You’re welcome!

Man : [coming closer] That was well, don’t you think Ken?

Ken : Of course. I always look well to impress.

Man : That 1%, 2% stuff was brilliant, all thought I’m not really sure I understand it!

Ken : [impatient] I’ll explain it to you later.

Man : There’s something else you can help me with too... How do you get past level 4 on Donkey Madness, I just can’t get the sector! [Ken growls] Of course you know I wouldn’t tell anyone else your game secrets...

Ken : I’ll be glad to tell you anything I know, I’ll even come ove rand help you play the game! [mocking] that is of course... if you don’t think you’re too old to be playing video games...

Man : Um? Oh yeah, too old... I always forget that I’m an adult... Ah! Look at the time! I’ve gotta go to my advance joystick class... [walking away] Oh! Could you do just one last thing for me Ken?

Ken : [impatient sigh] What is it?

Man : Um.... Autograph?

Ken : [writing] um.... Here you go...

Man : Thanks Ken, you are the best, even better than a graphic accelarator card! Whoo! The guys will be jealous...

Ken : [for himself] ...Fool...

[BACK WITH THE EMPEROR]

Wormmon : Cheer up, you can destroy somebody tomorrow!

[BACK IN THE REAL WORLD- KEN’S APPARTMENT]

Ken’s mom : Oh Ken, honey... Your dinner is ready dear... Ken! It’s getting cold! It’s your favorite dear, liver and lovely mash potatoes!

Ken’s father : So you were on TV today tiger, soon you’ll need a stick to keep all the ladies away, just like your old dad!

Ken : [deep sigh] I’ve lost my appetite. [leaving the table]

Ken’s mother : ooh... but what’s the matter?

Ken : Nothing. [walk away]

[ON TOP OF THE BUILDING]

Ken : [for himself] Look at all those fools out there... dreaming away their meaningless lives... running around like rats in a maze... not one of them is a half of what I’m worth...aaaaaaarrgh..... [Yelling] NOTHING BUT FOOLS!!!!!

[BACK IN THE EMPEROR’S BASE]

Wormmon : Master?... Master?... Master?? Don’t be depress... I’ve got an idea, let’s grab some dark rings, we’ll capture a couple of innocent digimon and make their lives absolutely miserable! That should makes you happy...

[IN ODAIBA’S COMPUTER ROOM]

Izzy : You mean Ken is the Digimon Emperor?

Davis : Right, and when he’s an emperor, he’s not just a genius, he’s an evil genius!

Demi-Veemon : And the serious evil genuis is that!

Cody : I just don’t understand why such talented and smart person will want to use their gifts to hurt others...

Kari : He seems so nice...

T.K : You know, there was a report on him on TV yesterday... I saw them show the genius parade.

Kari : I can’t believe the Digimon Emperor is a kid like us!

Izzy : ...Let’s find him!

T.K : What? Find him?

Izzy : yeah! We’ll track him down and confront him outside of the digital world!

Upamon : Does his plan include a part where we get to eat?

Izzy : For you, anything. Hey, I wonder where Yolei could be!

[Door opens]

Yolei : Hey everybody, sorry I’m late but look what I’ve got!

Demi-Veemon : Chocolate!!

Upamon : Cookie!

Gatomon : Fish!!!!

Patamon : Ice cream, ice cream, ice cream!

Veemon : You’re the best Yolei, you could be the chief of the cafeteria someday!

Yolei : So, you’re not hungry?

Poromon : What? [flies toward the food and start eating with the others]

Yolei : That’s s surprise they didn’t eat my arm right off. Oh, and look at this! There’s an article in it about Ken!

Davis : I’ll take that!

Yolei : Hey, you gave me a papercut!!!

Davis : [reading the magazine] Yeah, that’s him, the evil kid!

Cody : Who would that such a normal looking boy could be the Digimon Emperor!

Kari : His smile makes him look so gentle....

T.K : Uh yeah, but his haircut makes him look like you, Kari!

Izzy : Let me see it... Oh, this kid! I’ve seen him on the news before...

Yolei : Look at him, how cute! He could program my computer any day!

Davis : Are you crazy? He may be smart, but this guy is completely crazy in his head!

Yolei : Whoa, he’s not just smart, he’s got dashing good looks, too.

Cody : And he’s also really athletic!

Davis : AAARGH!! Hey, I’m just as good in sports as that guy is!!

Izzy : Ok, ok, don’t get your knickers in a twist, Davis, let’s just find him!

Davis : What are knickers?

Izzy : Nevermind.... I’ll use my map program to locate the apartment building behind Ken on his picture...

Yolei : Looks like a nice place to live!

Davis : Yeah, living next door to a heartless kid who wants to rule the world is nice!

Izzy : If my calculations are correct, he should live.... Right around here!!!

Kari : Yeah! I know that area!

Izzy : You smudge my screen!

Davis : yeah, I think there’s an appartment building right there under Kari’s fingerprint!

[BACK AT KEN’S HOME]

Ken’s mom : Ken?... Ken?

Ken’s dad : What’s up?

Ken’s mom : Well... usually, I heard the furious scribble of him doing math problems, but today.... Nothing!

Ken’s dad : Um... he’s been oftenly quiet since that soccer game...

Ken’s mom : I don’t wanna barge in... I might set on one of his booby trap...

Ken’s dad : When you met with his teacher, did he say anything at all to you?

Ken’s mom : No, at least teacher could talk was something called Donkey Madness...

Ken’s Dad : Donkey Madness???

Ken’s mom : I know, it’s strange, I mean, we don’t even own a donkey!

Ken’s dad : ... Let’s go in there.

Ken’s mom : oh, should we do that?

Ken’s dad : I say we break down the door!

Ken’s mom : What? No, don’t break it down!

Ken’s dad : Arrgh, I’ve gotta break something!

[OPENS BRUTALLY THE DOOR]

Ken’s dad : Ken?

Ken’s mom : [gazing at the computer screen] Oh! Look at this!

Ken’s dad : What’s this? Good bye to all of you, your trivial lives will break me no longer... my destiny waits... Aaaargh no!!! He’s runaway!!!

Ken’s mom : No!!! [cry]

[OUTSIDE, NEAR THE BUILDING]

Davis : Here it is! This is the place where we’ll stop Ken once and for all!

Cody : Ok, I wrote down a battle plan!

Yolei : Uh.... Does it includes the police?

Davis : Man, that kid’s trouble!

Reporter : Little Ken Ichijouji is missing and no one has any idea where he might be!

Ken’s dad : I think...~sob~... he’s runaway from home!

Cody : Runaway from home??!!

Davis : I bet I know where he’s gone!

[BACK WITH THE EMPEROR]

Wormmon : Speak to me... just two words... one even!

[BACK WITH THE DIGIDESTINED]

Izzy : I think you’re right! Ken is probably in the digital world, but it’s dangerous to just rush in there!

Kari : But the longer we wait, the longer he has to plot against us!

Cody : We need to make a new plan!

Izzy : Um.... We need to know what Ken’s doing. Let’s check the computer...

T.k : Does this mean what I think it means???

Izzy : Ken is taking over areas in the digital world faster than ever before!!

Davis : Well then, Let’s go!!

Izzy : We can’t risk to be ruthless, remember the expression : Fools rush in while angels fear the thread.

Kari : So what do you think we should do?

T.K : You know, being a fool is really low in my pride, but I cannot just sit here and do nothing!

Cody : Why do evil genius always have to be so evil?

Yolei : Aah, he doesn’t look capable to be causing such trouble! You know?

Izzy : Well he is, and don’t let yourself forget it! Um!

Davis : Well I have enough talk! The clock keeps ticking away and I’m ticked off! I want some action!

Kari : He’s right! So let’s get into the gate!

T.K : Yeah!

Yolei : I’m with you! Let’s fight!

Izzy : You conviced me, no more hesitation!

Davis : Excellent! Digi-port, open!

Yolei : Let’s go get that evil-cute guy!

Izzy : I’ll be watching over you! Good luck, guys!

Yolei : It’s genius stopping time! Let’s go!

[DIGIPORT SEQUENCE]

Digimon emperor : I’m here.... Um!

T.K : Look at this land of fire! It’s like in the movie... land of fire!

Yolei : I know... Sure it’s hot!

Davis : I say chilly-hot!

[BACK WITH THE EMPEROR]

Wormmon : Why don’t you got me fighting instead of capturing Greymon?

Digimon Emperor : You, fight? Um!

Wormmon : I guess I’ll take that as a no... um, Master, can I get a little help here, I’m having some trouble standing... um.... I’m okay!

Digimon Emperor : Hahahahahahaha! That control spire will be their doom!!

[BACK WITH THE DIGIDESTINED]

Davis : Keep your eyes open, trouble can be anywhere!

~Some Meramon just show up~

Kari : Meramon!!! [digi-analyser] Meramon are very dangerous, they can burn you with their Roaring Flames attack or only by touching you!

Davis : Let’s show who’s boss!! Digi-armor energize!!!

Veemon : Veemon, armor digivolve to.... Flamedramon, the fire of courage!

~Battle against Flamedramon and Meramon~

Meramon : Roaring flame!!

Flamedramon : Fire rocket!!

Davis : Don’t do that anymore, you’re just thickling them!

Kari : I don’t think fire attacks are going to work on them!

Hawkmon : My turn!

Yolei : Get’em Hawkmon!! Digi-armor energize!!!

Hawkmon : Hawkmon, armor-digivolve to...Halsemon, the wings of love!!!

Halsemon : Tempest wings!!!

Yolei : Oh.... Halsemon, STOP! You’re making the flames bigger!!!

Digimon Emperor : There’s my prey!

Greymon : Come and get it! What do you say the two on us go on it? One on one!

Digimon Emperor : As much as I appreciate your offer Greymon, I rather we play sphere throw!

Greymon : What? But I hate sphere throw!

Cody : Nothing is working, now it’s up to you Armadillomon! Digi-armor energize!!!

Armadillomon : Armadillomon, armor digivolve to... Digmon, the drill of power!

Digmon : Rock cracking!

~Battle~

Cody : Way to go!!!

Kari : Look!!

Yolei : Watch out!!!! Here they come!

Patamon : My turn?

T.K : Let’s do it!! Digi-armor energize!!!

Patamon : Patamon, armor digivolve to... Pegasusmon, the flying hope!

Halsemon : Tempest wings!

T.K : It’s working!

Pegasusmon : Star shower!!!

Kari : Are you ready?

Gatomon : Always am!

Kari : Digi-armor energize!!!!

Gatomon : Gatomon, armor digivolve to...Nefertimon, the angel of light!!

Digimon Emperor : Sending Greymon to attack those kids is my best plan yet!

Wormmon : But uh, what about the problems you had with Andromon?

Digimon Emperor : I learn from my mistakes, if I can make a rookie digimon digivolve while under my control, then I can control his other form as well!!

Wormmon : Master, you give me chills when you act all tough...

Digimon Emperor : Oh be quiet. ... Greymon, digivolve to Metalgreymon and be my slave!!!!!

Greymon : Aaaargh!!!! Greymon, digivolve to... Skullgreymon!!!!

Nefertimon : Rosetta stone!!!!

Kari : That’s what you get for playing with fire!!!

T.K : Oh no!!! It’s Skullgreymon!!! [digi-analyser] The only things that are more terrifying than his looks are his fighting skills, especially his Dark Shot attack!

Digimon Emperor : Skull...Greymon??

~ Skullgreymon fighthing the Emperor’s other slaves~

Wormmon : Suddenly.... This plan doesn’t really seem... so good.

Digimon Emperor : ARGH!!!

Davis : How can we beat that thing??

Kari : I have no idea!!

T.K : I have one!

Davis : What?

T.K : I say we run and then after that we run some more!!!!

~Fight~

Flamedramon : Fire rocket!!!!

Davis : He’ve got Flamedramon!!!

Cody : Digmon, no!!!

~Fight again~

Yolei : Halsemon!!!

Nefertimon : Everyone, run!!

Kari : But we have to fight Skullgreymon!

Pegasusmon : Yeah, great idea, stay close together so you create and easy target, get to safety!

Skullgreymon : Dark shot!!!!

~Destroy the control spire~

Digimon Emperor : Argh!

Wormmon : He’s got a name...

Everyone : HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Davis : I should probably put on my goggles!!

Digimon Emperor : YOU WANNA PLAY ROUGH? ~whistle~

T.K : I’m afraid to find out who he’s calling!

Yolei : What are those things?

Cody : They’re Darktyrannomon!!! [Digi-analyser] A computer program turn Tyrannomon into the evil Darktyrannomon! Watch out for his Fire Breath attack!!

Kari : Why can’t we ever fight anything short!!

Yolei : Like some mice!!

Davis : In that time, I only remember a phrase: If you can’t stand the heat, you better get out of the kitchen!

T.K : Stop, you make me wanna barbecue!

~Fight between Darktyrannomon and Skullgreymon~

Davis : They’re rolling around like rag dolls!!

Yolei : Hope he doesn’t get the idea to throw US around!!

Kari : He beat them all single-handed!

~Skullgreymon returns to Agumon~

Kari : That’s Agumon!!

T.K : That slimy creature is coming after him, and when I say slimy creature I mean Ken!

Kari : Agumon!!!

T.K : Let him go!!!

Kari : AGUMON!!!!!

T.K : You better not hurt him, Ken!!

Davis : Yeah... Jerk!!

Digimon Emperor : From defeat now there’s another victory! Hahahahahaha!!!

Kari : T.K, Davis, somebody do something THEY’RE GETTING AWAY!!!

[IN THE COMPUTER ROOM, ODAIBA]

Izzy : Wow, that’s the strangest thing I’ve seen since my internet configuration went defective! Oh.... WHAT? The entire area Agumon was guarding has been take over by the Digimon Emperor!!! Does that mean Agumon is under his control? Or worst yet, what if Agumon has been destroyed! Then who’s next? If he was able to get Agumon.... That means everyone of our digimon are in danger!

Narrator : How will the Digidestined rescue Agumon? The answer on the next Digimon, Digital Monsters!
