Episode 2: "The Birth of Firamon"
Phil: So let me
bring you up to speed. Me and the other
six rugrats were kicking
back at summer
camp when a freak snowstorm hits. We find
these
digivices and bam! The next thing you know
we're
transported to this whacked out island. One by
one, we make
friends with these creatures
who are known as digital monsters, or
digimon.
Everything was cool until Kuwagamon showed up.
Our new
friends somehow digivolved into bigger digimon
and scared him off.
Or so we thought.
Talk about your cliffhangers!
Digimon title theme
The kids and
their digimon are falling from the cliff
through the air.
Lunamon: Kimi!
Penguinmon: Susie!
Salamon: Angelica.!
PalmonX,
holding tightly
to Lil, whips out a Poison Ivy attack, clinging to
a
rock jutting from the cliff face. The rock
comes loose from
the wall, and follows PalmonX and Lil
as they fall. Betamon and
Chuckie are the
first to hit the water below.
Betamon: Fish net!
Around Betamon,
hundreds of fish surface and swim
together, forming a floating
raft which
picks Chuckie out of the water and catches the others
as
they land.
Phil: Wow. This is some ride.
Lil: What? Hey, look out!
From far above
them, the Kuwagamon falls from the
cliff as well, and takes a
large part of the
rocky edge with him. The kids scream as the
boulders
and the larger digimon fall toward them.
Betamon: Look out!
The fish raft
moves faster, and the beetle monster and
the boulders splash into
the water behind
them. The impact sends huge waves at the raft,
and the
kids and their digimon hang on, screaming.
The group
rests on the beach, safe at last.
Angelica: I knew we'd be okay. I
wasn't worried.
Chuckie: Well, what was that? A floating fish market?
Betamon: Lucky
for us, those fish were having a school
reunion. Ha ha! I'm
kidding. Those fish
are good friends of mine, and I just asked
them for a
lift.
Chuckie: And all
these years I thought I was allergic to
seafood! Thank you! Uh, I
guess it's not
Kyaromon?
Betamon: Betamon, now.
Chuckie: Betamon, hmm.
Angelica: And I guess that you're not Nyaromon, are you?
Salamon: Mm mm! Now I'm Salamon.
this Salamon didn't have a gold ring but insted it had a gray ring
Coronamon: It's all because we digivolved.
Tommy: I don't think that word's in my dictionary.
Susie: So
digivolving is what happens when they advance
to the next level
and become more
powerful than before.
Penguinmon:
Right! All of us digivolved. I went from
Chichimon to Penguinmon.
Lunamon: I digivolved from Moonmon to Lunamon.
Ryudamon: First, I was Kyokyomon, then Ryudamon.
PalmonX: And I changed from Tanemon to PalmonX.
Coronamon: And
me, I was Sunmon. I digivolved into
Coronamon.
Tommy: Mmm hmmm.
When you digivolved, you certainly got
way bigger. Does this mean
you're
something different now, or are you still
digimon?
Coronamon: Digimon. But I needed your help, Tommy.
Tommy: Me? For what?
Coronamon: You
see, digivolving is a very difficult
process. In order to be
successful, I had to share
your energy.
Tommy: Really?
Susie: I guess you guys don't run on batteries.
Penguinmon: Sure don't.
Kimi: But how do you access our energy?
Lunamon: Even we don't know everything.
PalmonX: Thanks for my magical power!
Lil: The whole thing makes my head spinny.
Phil: So, I help you change! That is so cool!
Ryudamon: Yep, sure is.
Chuckie: My folks warned me about strangers.
Betamon: I'm not
a stranger, Chuckie. I'm your friend for
life!
Chuckie: Hm.
Angelica: Okay, come on! What are we going to do?
Phil: If only
there was a payphone nearby. We could
call the police, or fire
department, or our
moms.
Tommy: But we don't even know where we are!
Kimi: But we
know where we started. Up there on that
mountain!
Susie: I say we
forget about going back and explore
around here.
Chuckie: I'm not
exploring anywhere. I say we stay right
where we are.
Kimi: Yeah,
let's wait for that giant bug to come get
us bro. We need to find
a road leading
someplace to get away from here!
Lil: Kimi's
right. But without a compass, we don't
even know which way is
north.
PlamonX: Wait, I do.
Lil: Well, which way is it?
PlamonX: It's the opposite of south.
Lil: Uh.
Chuckie: I
shouldn't wear these pants. They ride up when I
do a lot of
walking.
Susie: Y'know,
if we could get back to where we were
before, we might at least
find some clues as
to why we're here in this place.
Angelica: Wait.
Are there more monsters around like that
big flying beetle?
Salamon: Yes indeedy!
Angelica: grose!
Phil: Those monsters don't scare me!
Tommy: Are there humans?
Coronamon: Humans? Others like you?
Tommy: Mmm hmmm.
Coronamon:
You're the first ever. There's never been
anything but digimon.
Tommy: So, okay.
You're all digimon. But what about
these monsters? They're all
digimon, too?
Kimi: It's
creepy. And dangerous. And what happens
when it gets dark?
Angelica: Who says it ever gets dark here?
Lil: That would be unnatural.
Chuckie: And you call this natural?
Tommy: Well,
we're not going to find out anything by
sitting around here.
Tommy starts walking, followed by Coronamon.
Angelica: Where do you think you're going Pickles?
Tommy: Up on that cliff. That's where I saw the ocean.
Kimi: The ocean?
Tommy: Yep. There might be a boat or something.
Angelica: Let's waterski home.
Kimi: Ugh, funny.
Chuckie: At a
time like this, I think we'd be far better
off just to find a cave
and hide. We keep our
eyes open, and when a camp counselor comes-
Betamon: Hey, Chuckie! Everyone's leaving us!
Chuckie opens
his eyes to see the others and his sister walking down the
beach,
and runs to catch up.
Chuckie: Wait for me!
All the kids
are now walking along a riverbank, with
green trees to their
right, and Betamon
swimming in the water to their left.
Kimi: These trees are beautiful.
Lil: Yeah,
they're really different. And I just
thought they were
sub-tropical.
Chuckie:
Whatever they are, they're aggravating my hay
fever.
Angelica: Hey,
Chuckie. Is there anything you don't complain
about?
Salamon laughs quietly.
Susie: Digital
monsters. Exactly who came up with that
name, anyhow?
Penguinmon: Just call us digimon. We like that.
Susie: I only
ask because your body isn't at all
machine-like.
Penguinmon: you have a poit?
Phil.: So, Ryudamon, what are you? are a dinsore samurai !?
Ryudamon:i guss do i look like that!
Phil looks at for mintue or so.
Phil.: ya u do.
Lunamon: so kimi what do like to do!
Kimi look at Lunamon and thought for a whil
Kimi: I like to wach the moon from on top of my house ?
Lunamon: the moon is wonderful isn't!
Kimi; it is
Lil: Palmon,
I've been meaning to ask, who does your
hair?
PalmonX: It's
natural. I wake up in the morning like
this.
Lil: Wow! Maybe you could let me work with it!
PalmonX: Do you
think you put too much emphasis on
appearance?
Lil: Well,
honestly, I've never really thought about
it.
PalmonX: Honestly, I kinda like my hair the way it is all coloerful and every thing.
Tommy: Once I
get back, this is gonna make one great
story.
Coronamon: Yep.
Tommy: But, of
course not a single soul will ever
believe me.
Susie: That Kuwagamon back there... he was huge.
Penguinmon: And he's not the only one.
Salamon: Ahh, nothing like the ocean.
Betamon: Ahh haa! Everybody in the water!
Phil: Hey, let's build a giant sandcastle!
Angelica: Oh, I forgot my bathing suit.
Kmi: Wait a minute, listen! What's that?
The group hears
a ringing sound, and they look around
for the source.
Tommy: A phone!
Susie: Either that or we're all hearing things.
Sure enough,
sitting along the beach is a row of
evenly spaced telephone
booths, looking quite
out of place. The kids run up to them.
Chuckie: I told
you! All we needed was a phone! We're
saved!
Just as Tommy
opens the door to the first booth, the
ringing suddenly stops.
Coronamon: Why'd it stop ringing, Tommy?
Tommy: Wrong number?
Kimi: Well, that's bizarre.
Chuckie: My
theory is aliens. They've set these phone
booths out as a trap.
Angelica:
Chuckie ure starting to sond like Dil. BUT ANY WAY If we can find a
place that delivers, let's
order pizza!
Lil: whatever you get, no anchovies for me yuk.
Kimi; The
question is, what are these doing here at
the beach?
Chuckie: So people can call their parents for a ride home!
Betamon: Parents? What exactly is a parents?
Chuckie: That's it. I'm outta here.
Tommy: Does anybody have any loose change?
Susie: Why?
Tommy:
Obviously, I'm gonna make a phone call to get
some help.
Susie: Ah, use
my phone card. "The aliens can bill me.
Here".she said
sercastly
Phil.: Maybe there's a quarter in one of the slots!
Angelica: I'm calling Daddy!
Phil. and
Angelica run to the phones as Tommy inserts the
card in his
phone.
Susie: I'm hooking up to the internet.
Lil: I'm calling collect.
Kimi: Dibs on booth four!
Chuckie: Hey guys, wait for me! Come on!
Tommy: Hello? Hey Mom, it's me!
Operator: At the
tone the time will be exactly
forty-five miles per hour. And
ninety seconds.
Tommy: Something's wrong, or Mom's flipped.
Lil and Phil listens to there telephone as Palmonx and Ryudamon watches.
Operator:
Tomorrow's forecast calls for clear skies
with occasional ice
cream.
Phil: What do you wear for that?
Kimi and Susie
listen to the operator in the next booth
over.
Operator: This
number only exists in your imagination.
Please hang up and don't
call back.
Kimi: What planet did I dial?
Chuckie: I'm telling you. It's a twisted alien joke.
Betamon: Why don't you try that one over there?
Lunamon: I don't think it's any better.
Operator: No
telephones are working in your service
area. Hang up and have a
nice day.
Angelica hangs up her receiver and crosses her arms.
Angelica: Huh.
Tommy: Any luck?
Angelica: What do you think pickles!
Tommy roulled his eyes at angelica: Weird. I got a strange feeling about this.
Chuckie: Maybe this one will.
Operator: To
leave a message, press one now. To leave
a fingerprint, press two
now. Fifteen
dollars for the next three minutes.
Chuckie: Okay. Next one.
The others are
relaxing on the beach, watching Chuckie
continue to try the
phone.
Susie: Very curious. Does chuckie always behave like this?
Tommt and Kimi: Every single day.
Lil: No matter
what number, or how many times he
dials, those phones aren't gonna
work!
Tommy: Well, I'm
gonna keep searching for a boat or
something.
Phil: Hey, wait
a minute! Even though we can't call
out of here, there's always a
chance
someone else might be able to call in to us.
Tommy: It's a
waste of time doing nothing but sitting
here.
Phil: I'm going
to stay here for a little while and
see if anyone calls. Besides,
everyone could use
a little rest.
Tommy looks
over to where Lil., Angelica, PalmonX and Salamon
are sitting,
looking utterly exhausted.
Susie: And I'm getting pretty hungry, too.
Tommy: You know
why? Because we haven't eaten anything
all day. Okay, break time,
everybody!
Kimi: Ahh. Does
anybody else have any food? I think
the only thing I have is...
huh? Is that
gadget that fell out of the sky at camp!
Kimi and Tommy reach for their gadgets and examine them.
Tommy: I forgot all about those weird gizmos.
Angelica: If anybody's got a pink one, I'll trade.
Lil: What are they, anyway?
Phil; we wouldn't have them if they weren't important.
Ssuie: If I could take mine apart...
Susie's
mutterings are interrupted by a rather loud
growl of her stomach.
Ssuie: Ummm...
That is after I get something to eat.
I'm really hungery.
Kimi: Well, the
only thing I've got is my emergency
supplies. It's got a first aid
kit, some
bandages, and some medicine, but that's about all
I've
got.
Susie: I have my
laptop, and a digital
camera. Oh, and I've got a small cell
phone,
too. Of course, not one of them's worked since we got
here.
Tommy: I can't
believe you dragged all that computer
stuff to summer camp.
Susie: And what do you have?
Tommy: Uhh, let's see. There's my mini-telescope.
Lil: Sorry, but I don't have anything to eat, either.
Phil.: Hey, look at what I got. Check it out!
Phil opens his
backpack to reveal a stash of junk
food.
Angelica: Wow,
look at all those goodies! Why don't you be
a good little boy and
share those treats
with me?
Phil: Ahh,
Angelica you don't have to pretend to be nice, we all know
you.besides I'm
happy to share.
Angelica glared at phil
Lil: you beter share phil!
Tommy: I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.
Kimi: I'd settle for a small cow.
Susie: Angelica,
what have you got in that big bag? Some
hair brushes and make up?
Angelica: Uhh,
well, let's take a look. Here's a compass,
cooking fuel,
flashlight, one of those knives
with all the things, and some
other stuff.
Lil: Why didn't
you tell us you had a compass back
when we needed one?
Angelica: I
thought it might be kind of fun to see how far
we could get
without one. Besides, it's
broken.
Tommy: Well, so much for finding our way out of here.
Kimi: Although,
we could use the cooking fuel to make
a signal fire.
Phil: That's
true, or I guess we could barbecue some
telephones.
Tommy: Oh boy.
Check out the genius. See? He's trying to
call the telephone
repair man because
the telephones don't work. Problem is-- Look!
Chuckie's
got the emergency food!
The other kids
turn to look at Chuckie, who is still
trying the phones with a
dogged determination,
while Betamon sits patiently. And on his
shoulder they
see a bag with a red cross stitched onto it.
Susie: No way!
Tommy: Chuckie! Hey Chcuckie! Look, you've got all the food!
Chuckie: Hey!
Don't you know it's rude to interrupt
someone when they're on the
telephone?
Susie: But that bag-
Chuckie: This? I
just brought it to give to Angelica. Today
was her day to carry
the bag!
Salamon: Think he likes ya!
Angelica: No way!
Chuckie carries
the hefty bag over to where Angelica is
sitting.
Chuckie:
Angelica, you have got to stop thinking of yourself
and do
something to help somebody else for
once! Take a little
responsibility!
Angelica: But - that bag's too heavy for me!
Chckie: Listen, you never hear me complaining.
Tommy: Guys,
guys! Listen, the most important thing now
is that we've got some
food to eat. So let's
sit down and have some lunch.
Kimi: Uhh huh!
Chuckie: Okay,
let's figure this out. There's seven people
in the group times
three days, times three
meals, that comes to...
Susie: Sixty-three meals.
Chcukie: Uh,
right. So, split evenly between us, we have
uhh...
Susie: Enough food for three days.
Chuckie: Right! Oh, exactly, I guess you knew that.
Kimi: But you
guys, when you add in the digimon, we
really only have enough for
about half an
hour.
Chcukie: Oh, that's right...
PalmonX: Not a
problem at all. We digimon hunt and
forage for ourselves.
Penguinmon: No need to include us in your calculations.
Kimi: You sure, Lunamon?
Lunamon: Oh,
absolutely! We can do alright for
ourselves.
Chcukie: Okay.
Now that that's taken care of, let's go
ahead and divide this
between the seven people
here.
Phil: This is
great. I could eat a dozen of these!
Phil and Ryudamon are off to
the side of the group,
stuffing their faces.
Chuckie: Just what do you think you're doing?
Phil: I'm glad we never hear you complaining.
Chuckie: Hmmm! You people make me crazy!
Out in the
water, Betamon sits up at the distinctive
sound of the roar of a
large beast. Lunamon
looks out toward the water and hums, eyes
narrowed.
Kimi: Now what's the matter?
Lunamon: Trouble.
Kimi: Oh!
From beneath
the sand, a column of water shoots up
high into the air. The kids
shout and run
away as the column moves, knocking the
telephone
booths far into the air with its force.
Tommy: What's that?
The telephone
booths, now mangled and broken, drop
onto the beach, where a
tornado of sand
rises to reveal a huge horned shell rising from
the
beach.
Penguinmon: Shellmon!
Susie: What's a Shellmon?
Penguinmon: Something that gets mad for no reason!
Chuckie:
Attacked by two digital monsters in the same day!
And doesn't
Shellmon know I'm allergic to
shellfish?
From the shell
emerge two great legs and a head with
an angry expression.
Chuckie: Everybody, up here!
Chcukie climbs
up the cliff face by the beach, but
Shellmon blows a jet of water
from the top of his
head, knocking Chuckie back to the ground.
Betamon: Chuckie!
Shellmon shoots
a blast of water at Betamon as well.
Coronamon, Ryudamon, Lunamon
and
Penguinmon face the attacking digimon.
Coronamon: Digimon, attack!
Tommy: Coronamon, you show him!
Coronamon: Corona Flame!
Ryudamon: Katana Attack!
Lunamon: Tear Shot!
Penguinmon: Ice Prism!
Coronamon's
fireball hits Shellmon in the face, and he
rears back, but the
other digimon's attacks
fizzle out and don't even reach the larger
digimon.
Ssuie: What's happening to them?
Kimi: There attacks can't reach shellmon.
Shellmon aims a
blast of water that blows the smaller
digimon back.
Tommy: Coronamon!
Salamon: Puppy Howling!
PalmonX: Poison Ivy!
Despite their
efforts, both of their attacks fail as
well. Shellmon knocks
PalmonX and Salamon away with a swipe of his head. Coronamon
steps
up and blows another fireball that
again hits Shellmon square in
the face.
Tommy: Go get him, Coronamon!
Susie: At lest Coronamon can hit him?
Penguinmon: Now we cant fight.
Kimi: Hope Coronamon can take care of this or were all dide!.
Tommy Coronamon! Looks like it's just you and me now!
Coronamon: Then give me a diversion!
Tommy: Hey Shellmon! Ugly! Over here!
Kimi: No, don't Tommy!
As Shellmon
watches Tommu, Coronamon hits him again from
the side. Tommy picks
up a long pole,
broken off of one of the telephone booths.
Tommy: This'll work!
Tommy jabs the
stick into Shellmon's shell, but is
lifted into the air in one of
the long vines growing
from Shellmon's head.
Coronamon: Hold on, Tommy!
Shellmon steps
on Coronamon, holding him immobile beneath
his foot, and aims a
blast of water at
the other kids and digimon.
Tommy: Watch
out! He's gonna get everyone, and there's
nothing I can do!
Tommy yells in pain as Shellmon crushes him in his vine.
Coronamon: Tommy, no!
Coronamon: Digivolve!
A bright light
glows from beneath Shellmon's foot, and
Tommy and the others
watch, surprised.
Tommy: What's going on?
Coronamon: Coronamon digivolve to... Firamon!
Shellmon flings
Tommy out of the way as the tiny digimon
suddenly grows into a red
lion with red
wings on it back.
Tommy: Whoa! He did it again! Now he's Firamon!
Shellmon
charges his new opponent, and Firamon
fling in the sky.
Tommy: Now you're getting him. Go, Firamon!
Shellmon fires
a stream of water at Firamon, who
counters it with a stream of
fire. Shellmon
relents first, and Firamon takes advantage of
the
pause by using the his back legs to kick
Shellmon, throwing the other digimon out over the sea.
Firamon: Fira Bomb!
Firamon Uses
his full power to shoot fire bombs from the forehead and propels
Shellmon so far out to
sea that when he lands, the splash looks
tiny
from the shore. Firamon shrinks down back to
Coronamon.
Tommy: What! Coronamon! Oh, are you alright? You
poor
little guy. Coronamon!
Coronamon: Tommy? Tommy! Do you have anything to eat?
Tommy laughs,
relieved. Later, Chuckie is kneeling on the
beach next to a
demolished payphone, talking
into the receiver.
Chuckie: Hello?
Come on, I know you're there! Operator?
Operator!
Tommy: There's really no reason to stay here now.
Susie: Who wants to break the bad news to Chuckie over there?
The digimon,
along with Kimi, Angelica Phil and Lil. are
circled around a
spread of food which is being gulped
down quickly. Kimi smiles.
Kimi: You want some more, just say so.
Susie: Shellmon
wasn't destroyed. He was just
temporarily removed. We should pack
up and leave
before he decides he wants to come back for round
two.
Phil goupl his food and said: Good idea.
Chcukie: In that
case, we should go right back to the
forest. Because if anybody's
looking for us, that's
the place they'll go!
Kimi: Bro, I
said this before. We fell off a cliff and
floated down a river to
get here. And getting back
there's a really big job.
Angelica: And we could run into Kuwagamon!
Susie: Now
listen. Logically speaking, if there are
telephones here, then
there must be people to use
them. So, I think it makes good sense
to try and find
those people.
Phil: That makes sense?
Lil: It certainly does.
Kimi: Hmmm.
Tommy: Then let's all get going!
Coronamon:
Anywhere you want to go, I'll go, Tommy. You
just pick the
direction.
Tommy: Then let's get outta this place!
Phil: And let the monsters beware!
Chuckie: Mmm
hmmm. Well, my plan is to avoid all monsters.
Yep, that's my plan.
Tommy: Okay, here we go!
The digimon: Digimon!
The group
laughs, and they all head off, ready for
whatever adventure the
digital world will throw at
them next.
