On the ledge.

Rika: Do we have a plan or are we just gonna stand around all day?

Kazu: Well...why don’t you come up with something?

Rika: Fine, I say we climb on Zhuqiaomon and fly around to scope things out.

Kazu: Oh that’s smart, let’s ask the digimon Sovereign who wanted to turn us into digi-casserole if he’ll give us a piggy back ride.

Rika: Chicken.

Kazu: I’m not chicken!

Zhuqiaomon growls.

Kazu: Never mind.

He laughs nervously.

Zhuqiaomon sees bubbles rising from the pit before them and growls again.

Takato: Zhuqiaomon, what’s wrong?

Zhuqiaomon: The true enemy is nearby, I see the Chaos that brings in my mind’s eye.

Henry: Well I guess the true enemy is closer than we thought.

Takato: Oh great and we still haven’t found Calumon.

Guilmon: Um...Mr. Azulongmon, will you help us? Please?

Azulongmon: Of course, the catalyst must be retrieved at all costs. Prepare yourselves children, it is time. A blue cloud surrounds the tamers and digimon.

Henry: What’s

Kenta: Hey, where’d everything go?

Kazu: Why can’t the digimon Sovereign just tell us what they’re gonna do?

Azulongmon holds the cloud with the kids inside.

Kenta: I think he ate us, we’re doomed!

Rika: That’s ridiculous.

She makes a hole through the cloud then blows through it and looks out.

Rika: Huh? Uh, we’re flying!

Kenta: Oh, I think I’m gonna be sick again.

Kazu: Totally.

Rika: It’s freaky.

Guilmon: I like it. Ha ha, it feels like we’re in a big poof of cotton candy.

Takato looks at Jeri and Guilmon looks at the cloud.

Guilmon: Well what do you think Takato? Takato?

He turns and sees Takato looking at Jeri.

Takato: Uh, just a minute, Guilmon. Hey Jeri, are you doin’ okay?

Takato walks over to the upset Jeri.

Takato: Jeri you were always so cheerful, and kind, and nice, so it’s just...weird to see you like this.

Jeri: You’re wrong I’m not nice.

Takato: Huh?

Guilmon: Huh?

Rika walks next to Guilmon.

Jeri: When my real mother died I swore I wouldn’t let anyone take her place, so when my new step-mother came...she wanted to be my friend, but I never gave her a chance. You see I’m not nice, I’m...awful.

Takato: That’s not true! You’re the nicest person I know.

Takato walks away.

Guilmon: What’s wrong with Jeri?

Renamon walks over.

Renamon: Her heart is full of sadness.

Rika: I know, it’s because Leomon’s gone isn’t it?

Renamon: Because she was powerless to stop it.

Rika: Poor Jeri.

Rika looks at Jeri then Jeri slowly sits on he floor holding her D-power, staring into nothing.

Jeri: My mother then Leomon, Leomon said everyone has their own destiny, maybe mine is to be alone.

At Baihumon’s domain, Ryo and Cyberdramon are looking down into the chasm.

Ryo: I don’t see anything, you sure about this Cyberdramon?

Cyberdramon: My ultimate enemy was here, I can still smell him.

Ryo: What about Baihumon? Where’d he go?

Ebonwumon head #1: Probably still fighting the enemy.

Ebonwumon head #2: Yep, he’s a stubborn one, that one.

From the chasm Baihumon emerges growling and tired.

Ryo: There he is!

Baihumon jumps over Ryo and lands near Ebonwumon.

Ryo: Whoa.

Ebonwumon head #2: Baihumon, you look terrible.

Ryo checks Baihumon’s data.

Ryo: Baihumon, a mega, Guardian of the West. He’s one of the four Digimon Sovereign. Uh, wow.

Baihumon growls loudly then falls over right in front of Ryo and Cyberdramon.

Ryo: What’s wrong with him?

The dust makes Ryo cover his eyes.

Ryo: Uh.

Ebonwumon head #1: He’s exhausted, you try fighting the true enemy and see how you feel.

Ryo: You know Cyberdramon whatever did this to Baihumon isn’t just an opponent it’s a natural disaster.

Cyberdramon: I must defeat him.

Ebonwumon head #1: Hold on there Mr. Feisty McAngry! I hope you’re not talking about fighting Baihumon, cause I won’t let ya! I’m no spring Sovereign, but I can still give ya the old 1-2!

Ebonwumon head #2: Yeah, he’s one, I’m two.

Ryo: He wants to defeat what Baihumon was fighting and we’d better find it soon.

Ryo jumps on Cyberdramon flies away.

Ryo: I just hope you know what you’re getting us into Cyberdramon.

Ebonwumon head #1: Ah, kids today, can’t tell if they’re being brave or just plain crazy.

Ebonwumon head #2: Definitely crazy.

Cyberdramon flies out of Baihumon’s domain.

In the center where Zhuqiaomon kept Calumon raindrops fall from the center orb connecting the four domains.

Azulongmon: I hope we are in time to save the catalyst.

Terriermon: Really? No kiddin’? So, what do you say ya step on it, huh!

Henry: Terriermon!

Terriermon: I know.

Azulongmon dives into the chasm and stops at a platform floating.

Azulongmon: We have arrived.

The cloud disappears leaving the kids there and they look down.

Henry: I don’t see any sign of Calumon.

Terriermon: Or the bottom either.

Kenta: Must be way down there.

Kazu: Aw man, why couldn’t he have put Calumon in a nice meadow or something?

D-Reaper bubbles start to rise from the chasm.

Henry: Wait a minute I see something.

Takato: What is that? A lava lamp?

Azulongmon: It is Chaos.

The Chaos rises and hits another platform disintegrating it completely.

Takato: Yeah I’ll say.

More rises and disintegrates more platforms.

Henry: I’ve never seen anything destroy so effortlessly.

Kazu: Oh, that’s nasty. How much of that stuff is there?

Kenta: I sure hope Calumon is okay.

Azulongmon: I never thought the true enemy would come so far so quickly.

Zhuqiaomon: The Chaos, I must put and end to this. Now!

Zhuqiaomon flies down into the chasm.

Takato: Zhuqiaomon!

Azulongmon: Strange isn’t it? How the catalyst is both the source of our power and the key to our destruction.

Henry: But why?

Azulongmon: The true enemy is drawn to the power the catalyst gives us, it seeks it out and devours everything in its path.

Henry: So you’re saying that wherever Calumon is.

Azulongmon: You can be sure the enemy will appear leaving a wake of devastation.

Takato: Poor Calumon, it seems like someone’s always chasing him.

Kenta: I have nightmares like that.

Kazu: Me too.

From over the ridge Cyberdramon growls.

Kenta: Someone’s coming!

Takato: Hey it’s Cyberdramon!

Kazu: And Ryo’s with him.

Cyberdramon and Ryo descend.

Kazu: Dude, he is so cool.

Kenta: Yeah, did he get taller?

He and Cyberdramon arrive on the platform.

Ryo: Hey it’s the whole gang, I didn’t think you’d be here.

Henry: Are we glad to see you.

Ryo: Same here. Hey Rika, you’re lookin’ good. You’re not gonna leave again on my account are ya?

Rika: Please, what are you doin’ here anyway?

Ryo: Rika you haven’t changed a bit.

Rika: How observant of you Ryo, you haven’t changed either.

She turns her head.

Rika: You’re still as annoying as ever.

Kazu and Kenta: Rika!

From the chasm Zhuqiaomon emerges moaning.

Guilmon: Zhuqiaomon.

Takato: Your wing!

Zhuqiaomon: I couldn’t even get close, the Chaos overwhelmed me.

Azulongmon: I warned you not to underestimate the true enemy. It doesn’t eat, sleep, or feel pain, it exists only to destroy.

Henry: So how can we defeat this Chaos?

Terriermon: Yeah, I mean how are we supposed to kick its butt if it doesn’t even have one?

Henry: Good point.

Ryo walks over to the edge and looks down.

Henry: Maybe we shouldn’t even try.

Takato: Henry what do you mean?

Henry: We should just focus on getting Calumon.

Kazu: If the Chaos hasn’t had him for lunch.

Takato: Don’t say that!

Think about it, Calumon’s about as tough as butterscotch pudding.

Deep in the chasm Calumon is still climbing up.

Calumon: Okay it’s not like I’m butterscotch pudding or something, I am brave and stupendous and not a scaredy cat.

He climbs a little more then falls back down but manages to hold on.

Calumon: Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Chaos works its way up dissolving more platforms.

Calumon: Oh it’s no use, I’m still scared. Someone help me, anyone.

Chaos bubbles increase rapidly.

Azulongmon: Uh, the Chaos is increasing, hold on tight!

Azulongmon pushes the platform to the other side of the chasm and lodges it in the wall making the kids collapse.

All: Whoa!

Kazu: Oh, my head hasn’t hurt this bad since I had to listen to Kenta’s knock-knock jokes.

Kenta: Hey!

Kazu: Come on dude they are pretty bad.

Takato: You guys we have to come up with a plan and quick.

Henry: Yeah, but the canyon’s way too deep and the Chaos seems to be everywhere. It’s like everything’s against us.

Jeri: We seemed destined to fail.

Takato: Don’t say things like that Jeri, we can’t give up.

Everyone seems depressed.

Rika: Renamon.

Renamon: Mm hm.

Kazu: Hey Rika, what do you think you’re doing?

Rika slides down.

Rika: What’s it look like I’m doing?

Renamon follows.

Ryo: Rika, come back! It’s too dangerous!

Rika goes farther down and slips but Renamon catches her.

Ryo jumps off the platform and walks down to bring her back.

Ryo: I’ve never met anyone so stubborn.

Cyberdramon floats next to him.

Ryo: We’d better go get her, she’s gonna hate me even more for this.

Takato: Rika!

Kenta: Ryo! Be careful!

Kazu: Yeah, Rika.

Takato: Why are they doing this? Are they crazy?

Kazu: Dude, that’s what I’ve been saying about Rika from day one, the girl’s crazier than a soup sandwich.

As they go down farther Takato sees the Chaos is building higher.

Takato: The Chaos! Uh, uh, uh...

Down in the chasm.

Rika: If we fall, how long do think it would take to hit the bottom?

More Chaos rises and Renamon ad Rika push against the wall to stay away from it.

Renamon: It might be best if we don’t think about it.

Rika starts to fall but Renamon grabs her and pulls her in.

Rika: Um, Renamon can we change our destiny?

Renamon: Yes of course.

Rika: Well then, do you think we can somehow change Leomon’s destiny?

Renamon: That’s different.

Rika: So we can’t change it, knew it.

Rika jumps down.

Renamon: We cannot alter the past Rika, but we can choose to accept it and let it make us stronger.

Rika: Well what about Jeri? Is she destined to be sad?

Renamon: For a while, whether she stays that way is her choice. We are all responsible for our own destinies. But...

The chaos rises again and Renamon and Rika go up against the wall again.

Rika: But what?

Renamon: That’s something Jeri has to learn for herself. We cannot learn for her.

Rika: I just...want her to be okay.

Renamon: We all do.

Rika and Renamon: Huh?

They hear something from below and Calumon is climbing up.

Calumon: I can, I can, I can, I can, I whoa! Oh, aw nuts.

He climbs on a big rock and they see him.

Rika: I don’t believe it!

Calumon: Rika! Over here!

He trips and falls on he rock then runs to Rika while she runs to him.

Rika: Calumon!

He jumps into her arms.

Calumon: I’m so happy you’re here! I was so cold, and lonely, and scared.

Rika: I know, everything’s alright now.

The Chaos rises higher because of Calumon and one Chaos bubble floats next to Rika.

Renamon: Watch out!

Renamon pulls her and her backpack gets caught in the Chaos.

Rika: Uh!

As the Chaos rises it disintegrates it.

Rika: My backpack! That was close.

Calumon: No kidding.

Renamon: Right, come on, let’s go.

A big Chaos bubble goes right in front of Rika but Cyberdramon slices it in half.

Ryo: Get in here quick!

Ryo pulls Rika into a small indent in the wall.

Ryo: What is wrong with you, putting yourself in danger like that?

Rika: Hey what are you yelling at m for? You’re down here too, aren’t you!

She looks down at the Chaos.

Rika: Ugh, so what are we supposed to do now? The Chaos is everywhere.

Ryo: We’ll be trapped soon, but I think I have an idea.

He walks outside the indent to Cyberdramon.

Ryo: Cyberdramon, let’s do it. Digi-Modify! Avenging Knight Activate!

Cyberdramon gains two jousting swords and he growls. He then flies down into the cave a little and places the swords in the wall.

Rika: Some plan genius.

Ryo: Watch and learn.

Cyberdramon: Desolation Claw!

He blasts at rocks making them crumble off and fall onto the swords and because of the swords the rocks can’t fall.

Cyberdramon: Desolation Claw!

He blasts in every direction making rocks make a big pile.

Ryo: See, what I tell ya? Now’s our chance.

Rika nods her head.

Rika: Hey Ryo, that was pretty good, for a boy.

Ryo: Very funny.

He starts to climb up.

Ryo: All I did was delay it, those rocks won’t hold forever. It’s just a matter of time before the Chaos breaks trough.

Under to rocks the Chaos starts to dissolve them slowly, but they can’t see it.

Ryo: We have to get out as soon as we can.

Rika: Or we’ll end up like my backpack.

Calumon: Oh, oh...

The red of the Chaos starts to seep through the cracks between rocks.

In the top part of the chasm.

Zhuqiaomon: This is unacceptable! How can you allow those humans...

Azulongmon: It’s for a good cause Zhuqiaomon.

The kids are repelling down the side of the chasm with Azulongmon’s beard to find Rika and Ryo.

Kazu: So what do you guys think of my idea? Do I rock or what?

Henry: Well I have to admit, only a warped mind like yours would think up repelling down a bottomless pit on Azulongmon’s beard.

Takato: Hey it seems like that red stuff has slow down a little.

Henry: Maybe Rika and Ryo found a way to block the Chaos.

The digimon and Jeri are back on the platform, Guilmon looks over the edge.

Guilmon: I hope Takato’s okay.

Terriermon: Moumantai, they look kinda silly, but I bet they’ll be fine. That is as long as Azulongmon here doesn’t sneeze, or hiccup, or decide to shave.

Azulongmon: Hurry children! Your time is running out!

Down at the bottom of the chasm the Chaos starts to get through the rocks and the bubbles rise again.

Ryo: Rika, you go first.

Rika: Okay.

Calumon: Bye!

Renamon: That barrier won’t hold for long.

From above they can hear the other kids’ calls.

Takato: Rika!

Henry: Anybody down there!

Kenta: Hello?

Rika: Hey you guys!

Calumon: Hi!

Kenta (far up): We’ve come to rescue you!

Rika: What? Do I look like I need rescuing?

Ryo: Actually I think we all do.

More Chaos bubbles rise and Ryo bats one away with his card holder and it disappears after.

Ryo: Uh. Hurry we’re running out of time.

He sees Rika not moving, just staring into the chasm.

Ryo: Rika what is it? What’s wrong? Would you say something, you’re making me nervous.

Rika: I’m no going Ryo.

Ryo: What are you saying?

Rika: We’re just kidding ourselves, there’s no way we can escape. At this rate the Chaos will get us and everyone above too.

Ryo walks over to Rika.

Ryo: What else can we do?

Rika: I want you to take Calumon.

She hands Calumon to Ryo.

Ryo: What? Where are you going?

She slides down the ridge and walks down.

Rika: To stop the Chaos.

Ryo: What? Don’t be crazy, you’ll kill yourself. Rika, come back! Rika!

Renamon follows Rika.

Higher up, the other kids hear Ryo’s call to Rika.

Kenta: Hey, what’s going on?

Takato: There’s something wrong.

Henry: I hope Rika’s okay.

Back in the chasm.

Ryo: Rika! Don’t do this! Please!

Rika slides down the pit and Renamon does the same when she stops she slips but Renamon grabs her.

Rika: Thanks.

Renamon: Rika, go back.

Rika: No.

Renamon: Please.

Rika: No way.

Renamon: Listen to me for once, please, I’m begging you.

Rika looks into the pit.

Renamon: Go back now and there’s a chance you’ll survive, stay and you’ll be walking into certain death.

Rika: You’re staying.

Renamon: I’m a digimon, fighting is my way of life, not yours. What kind of partner would I be if I let any harm come to you? Rika, why won’t you answer me?

Rika turns at looks at Renamon.

Rika: We can choose our own destiny, right?

Renamon: Yes.

Rika: Then I choose...

The Chaos below breaks through the rocks.

Rika: To stay and fight...with you.

Rika and Renamon float out into the middle of the chasm.

Ryo: Rika!

Rika and Renamon glow yellow around their bodies.

Calumon: Ha ha!

The float down deeper into the Chaos and glow brightly.

D-power: Bio-merge Digivolution.

Rika: Bio-merge Activate!

Renamon: Renamon bio-merge to...

Sakuyamon: Sakuyamon!

Rika (inside Sakuyamon): The light, it’s so warm.

Rika laughs.

Rika: Sakuyamon, I feel her strength, her power, her thoughts, I am Sakuyamon and she is me.

Ryo: Holy cow!

Calumon: Aren’t they beautiful? They’ve bio-merged.

Sakuyamon: I, Sakuyamon protector of all things true, will do my duty.

Sakuyamon glows.

Sakuyamon: River of Chaos, oh red sea of destruction, follow now my voice and feel the twin blades, of beauty! And of truth!

She uses her scepter to slash away the Chaos.

Sakuyamon: Then, fall before my light!

The slashes she made turn into bright pink light that illuminates the entire chasm.

Calumon: Oh.

Takato: Who in the world is that?

Kazu: She rocks.

Henry looks at Sakuyamon surrounded by petals floating by and checks her data.

Henry: Sakuyamon, a shaman data type digimon, mega level! Renamon and Rika bio-merged to mega!

Sakuyamon: Takato, are you alright?

Takato: Oh yeah.

Henry: You saved our lives Sakuyamon.

Sakuyamon: It’s nothing.

Ryo and Cyberdramon float next to Sakuyamon.

Ryo: I must admit Rika, you are unbelievable.

Calumon: Oh yeah.

Rika (inside Sakuyamon): Hm, hm, hm.

The pink light stops and Azulongmon and Zhuqiaomon fly out of the chasm and Azulongmon carries the kids.

Azulongmon: Excellent work children, don’t you think Zhuqiaomon?

Zhuqiaomon: They did alright...for humans.

Terriermon: Did Zhuqiaomon just say something nice?

Calumon; So what have you guys been up to?

Guilmon: We were looking for you, what do you think we were doing silly?

Terriermon: What about you?

Calumon jumps on Azulongmon’s chain.

Calumon: Well I thought about creampuffs mostly.

Kazu: Great, we looked death in the eye to save him and he’s going on about creampuffs.

Rika (in Sakuyamon): Excuse me? Ryo and I were looking death in the eye, you were swinging on a rope like a monkey.

Kazu: Whatever.

They arrive back at Zhuqiaomon’s domain.

Takato: I can’t believe we finally did it. Thanks for your help Azulongmon.

Azulongmon: I did nothing. It was you, humans and digimon fighting together that stopped the Chaos.

Rika is tying her hair back up.

Jeri: Rika!

Rika: Huh?

Jeri runs over to Rika.

Rika: What’s wrong?

Jeri hugs Rika.

Jeri: Oh Rika, I thought I’d lost another friend.

Rika: Not a chance.

Calumon rushes over.

Calumon: Hi Jeri!

Jeri: Hm...

Jeri looks at him sad and he retracts his ears.

Calumon: Oh no, you look so sad.

Henry: Well I guess this means w can finally go home.

Takato: Home.

Guilmon: Where all the bread is.

The ground starts to shake.

All: Huh?

The Chaos shoots up from the center of the Sovereign Land.

Zhuqiaomon: The Chaos! I knew it, the humans only delayed its progress. Can nothing stop this madness?

The Chaos goes for the center orb that connects all four areas and disintegrates it.

Takato: Maybe it’ll die down I a minute like a geyser.

Then the Chaos spreads itself into long arm type things that break up into pebbles that scatter everywhere.

Takato: Or not.

All: Uh!

Henry: No one can fight this, it’s everywhere. What do we do?

A Chaos rock falls right next to Jeri’s foot catching her attention.

Jeri: Huh?

Azulongmon: It’s time for you to leave, this is not your battle. We will stay to defend our world!

Zhuqiaomon: And we will fight to the bitter end!
