Digimon Season 2 – ep 6 – Family Picnic

(This features the return of two of the Digi-destined's old friends, one of them being the Rookie form of my favourite one. Special thanks to DigimonAT0138 who's idea with bringing in these two to a chapter similar to this episode inspired me to rewrite it. I'm skipping the beginning and heading straight for the action.)


What was supposed to be a digital picnic, has now turned into a survival mission for Yolei and Mimi Tachikawa, the Bearer of the Crest of Sincerity and Matt's crush who had returned from America for a visit. The younger kids were having a Saturday picnic in an area with no control spires and Mimi joined in for the fun. All was going well until Yolei and Hawkmon got separated when they went after a sushi roll thrown by Armadillomon. Mimi attempted to look for them but ended up falling and screaming down a trap in the ground.


Mimi is on the ground unconscious and someone tries to shake her awake.

Yolei: Wake up! Mimi, wake up.

Hawkmon: I hope she's alright. Mimi moans but slowly manages to regain consciousness and groggily opens her eyes.

Yolei: Mimi, wake up. Mimi finally comes around and turns to Yolei. Are you okay?

Mimi lifts herself off the ground.

Mimi: The last thing I remember…I fell.

Yolei: We all did. Yolei turns her head. Look at that. Mimi looks at her direction and gasps.

The two of them are in a dark forest and up ahead is a control spire, unfortunately for them.

Mimi: What is it?

Yolei: It's a control spire.

Hawkmon: That means the Digimon Emperor controls this area.

Suddenly, they hear multiple voices and look up ahead to see multiple red eyes glowing in the shadows.

Mimi: Something tells me those are termites in a parking lot.

Mimi, Yolei and Hawkmon all shake and whimper in fear. The figures in the forest reveal themselves to be Mimi's old friends, a swarm of Gekomon and Otamamon but right now they're not looking happy at all seeing as they have completely red eyes. Mimi stops shaking when she recognises them and gives a smile of relief.

Mimi: Relax; they're just Gekomon and Otamamon.

Yolei: How do you know that Mimi?

Mimi: 'Cause they're my friends.

Hawkmon: They don't look to friendly. Hawkmon spots Dark anklets strapped on. Not while they're wearing those Dark Rings.

Mimi: Huh? Sure enough, those are smaller versions of the Dark Rings. The Gekomon and Otamamon slowly advance. They growl and have their hands up. Now Yolei is quivering with fear and Hawkmon stands in front of the both of them protectively.

Yolei: Uh…does anyone have any idea what to do?

Mimi: Let me try to speak to them! Mimi pushes through Yolei and Hawkmon before they could stop her and holds out her hand protectively. Gekomon! Otamamon! Please, stop! Don't you recognise me? It's me, Princess Mimi!

Now Yolei and Hawkmon are very confused.

Yolei & Hawkmon: Huh? Princess?

Mimi sweatdrops and turns with an embarrassed expression. The whole princess thing was not one of her best moments.

Mimi: Uh…It's a long story. Mimi turns back to her enslaved friends with a smile and compassion. You remember me, don't you? We fought together and I sang you a song.

The Gekomon and Otamamon halt and look at her in curiosity but growl in anger again before leaping up and forming an angry mob, prompting Yolei, Mimi and Hawkmon to run for their lives screaming.

Mimi: Okay, well that didn't work out!

Yolei: Ya think!?

Otamamon: Lullaby Bubble!

Gekomon: Symphony Crusher!

Gekomon blasts out sound waves from their horns and the Otamamon spew bubbles from their mouths. The girls scream from almost getting hit.

Hawkmon: Feather Strike! Hawkmon launches his feather head wear and knocks down a few of them but they continued running in large numbers.

The 3 of them continue running for their lives but unfortunately even as a teenager, Mimi is still the same klutz from 3 years ago as seen when she trips and falls to the ground. Yolei screams in horror.

Yolei: Yolei screams in horror. Gosh, Mimi, if those are your friends, I'd hate to see your enemies!

Mimi: It's not…their fault. "This is terrible; I wish Palmon was here to protect me."


As if her mind was read, green eyes open in the shadows and a familiar voice rings out.


Palmon: Poison Ivy! Vines are thrown out from behind and wrap around Yolei and Hawkmon. The vines then wrap around Mimi. The familiar feeling of these mines surprises her because there's only one Digimon who can use them like this.

Mimi: Palmon…

All of them are pulled back into safety before they get run down. When the coast was clear the figure turns around. The one who saved them was none other than Palmon, Mimi's partner and she is still wearing Mimi's old hat.

Palmon: I thought you needed a vine.

Mimi: Mimi begins to sob cry out tears of absolute joy at the sight of her partner. Palmon…

Palmon is confused for a bit but then gasps. The hair made it difficult but there was no mistaking that face.

Palmon: Now Palmon is beginning to sob and cry out tears of complete joy like Mimi. Mimi…

Mimi is on her knees and the duo of Sincerity have a big hug which they've been wanting for 3 years. They cry their eyes out and let out as much of their emotions as possible.

Mimi: I'm so happy to see you!

Palmon: I'm so happy to see you too! Yolei and Hawkmon could do nothing but watch.

Mimi: I've never been this happy my whole life!

Palmon: I've never known what happiness was until today!

Mimi: And you're still wearing my pink hat!

Palmon: Like I'd ever get rid of that! I've always kept it…as a reminder that someday we'd be together again!

The both of them continue to cry until Hawkmon speaks up.

Hawkmon: Please, stop it! If you continue to get any happier, I'll start to cry.

The both of them are finished crying and hugging.

Mimi: I'm caught in your vines.

Palmon: I'm caught in your hair.

Mimi: On 3…1, 2, 3!

They finally separate and they get down to business.

Palmon: Enough reminiscing Mimi, we've got trouble! This area's called the night forest and the Digimon Emperor has taken control of all the Gekomon and Otamamon! Mimi gets up.

Mimi: I know; we have to destroy the control spire, no problem; I've been living in New York. Compared to getting a taxi, this is a piece of cake. Palmon hugs onto her knees.

Palmon: You're the best Mimi!

Hawkmon: Correct! We've got to contact the others and let them know where we are.

Yolei: Right.


Davis and the others are searching for Yolei, Mimi and Hawkmon in a field of grass.

Davis: Hawkmon, Yolei where are you!?

Everyone: Hawkmon, Yolei where are you!?

Just as Davis was about to call out again his Digivice beeps.

Davis: This place has some echo. He gets out his Digivice.

Kari: Oh boy...


Yolei: I'm trying to get through to Davis but so far no luck.


Davis sees a dot on his screen but it keeps fading out.

Davis: I think it's from Yolei but the signal's kinda weak.

TK: She must be nearby. He turns to Patamon. But in what direction?

Cody: The Digimon Emperor must be blocking the signal. Not what they wanted to hear.


Speaking of the Emperor, he sits in his lair snickering and watching the girls in the Night Forest.

Digimon Emperor: What a wonderful way to spend a relaxing weekend. Getting rid of unwanted weeds in my garden. Wormmon!

Wormmon: Yes, master.

Digimon Emperor: Who's the Digimon de jure?

Wormmon: The Roachmon Brothers.

Digimon Emperor: Excellent! Summon them immediately; they're staying in the Roachmon Motel! He cackles evily.


Yolei, Mimi, Hawkmon and Palmon have been trying to contact Davis and the others but not a single call can get through.

Yolei: There's no answer.

The four of them groan and slump their heads; looks like they're all alone for this mission. They're brought out of that when they hear more noises from behind. Another angry mob of Gekomon and Otamamon are stampeding their way, causing them to hug onto each other and scream in horror.

Yolei: They're back.

They had no time to run and the swarm got closer but luckily some old friends came by and stopped them.

?: Pummel Whack! A dark energy blast knocks away some of the Gekomon.

?: Super Thunder Strike! A lightning bolt electrocutes the Otamamon.

The girls are perplexed until black shadows cast over them. Yolei is shocked to see the green and red figures in front of her. Mimi is shocked because she recognises one of them.

Mimi: Ogremon?

The large green figure is indeed Ogremon, a former enemy and now a good friend of the Digi-destined. Next to him is an Elecmon but not the one from primary village. This one has a sword on his back and 3 scars on his chest. The both of them are ready to battle and Ogremon has his club out.

Elecmon: Ogremon! We must protect these kids, at all cost!

Ogremon: I know! The Gekomon and Otamamon advance forward in an attempt to attack. Take this, you tone-deaf amphibians! Pummel Whack! He blasts out more dark energy and blows some away.

Elecmon: Super Thunder Strike! Elecmon electrocutes more of the green and purple digimon.

Ogremon swings his club and swats away a couple of them who leaped up for an attack and Elecmon uses his blade to slice the Otamamons' Lullaby Bubble with ease. The swarm of frog and tadpoles make a run for it.


The Digimon Emperor seethes in anger when he watches what happened, particularly at Elecmon.

Digimon Emperor: Grr! It's that little red rat and his annoying sidekick! Why must he always interfere!


Ogremon and Elecmon turn to the four of them and Yolei screams when she gets a good look at Ogremon's face.

Elecmon: Are you alright?

Ogremon: Sorry if we startled you but these guys are everywhere.

Mimi: Ogremon? Is that you?

Ogremon: Huh? Ogremon looks at the strawberry blonde girl with a raised eyebrow. Do I know you? You look familiar.

Palmon: It took me a while to recognise her too Ogremon.

Ogremon: Palmon? Ogremon puts two and two together. If you're here then that must mean this girl is…? She points right at the teenage girl who's smiling.

Mimi: That's right, I dyed my hair. It's me, Mimi!

Ogremon: Mimi?! Ogremon takes a good look at her before loudly laughing and scooping up Mimi for a hug. Well, I'll be darned! It really is you!? I couldn't recognise you with that pink hair. How've you been cowgirl, I haven't seen you for 3 years? Where's Joe at? Yolei and Hawkmon could only stare in shock.

Mimi: I'm doing great! Mimi slides out of his arms with a big smile. As for Joe, he's hitting the books as usual.

Elecmon: Mimi, Palmon, it's good to see you again.

Mimi and Palmon look at Elecmon in confusion. Could this be the one from Primary village because that's the only one they know?

Mimi: It's nice to see you too but…do we know you?

Palmon: Are you the Elecmon from Primary Village?

Elecmon: No, I am a different Elecmon.

Mimi: But, then how do you know us, if we've never met.

Elecmon: The scars and blade I carry should tell you how. Besides…how could I not know you? I still remember protecting you from MetalEtemon's attack.

Upon hearing the name, MetalEtemon, Mimi gasps and widens her eyes as she is hit with a memory from the past.


(Flashback)

Mimi remembers that when she and Joe separated from the Tai and the gang, they had an encounter with MetalEtemon. They're brave and kind friend Leomon had digivolved into SabreLeomon in order to fight him but it wasn't enough. Ogremon stepped up to help but Mimi ran up to him to stop him from fighting but only ended up putting herself in harm's way.

MetalEtemon: No everyone's welcome, as a matter of fact little darling today I'm offering a special group discount. MetalEtemon holds up his finger. Besides it saves me time to destroy all of you at once.

A dark and sinister lightning bolt drops from above and Mimi screams when she sees it's headed straight for her.

SabreLeomon: Mimi no!

SabreLeomon jumps up and takes the blast as Mimi drops down. The lion roars in pain and MetalEtemon snickers. SabreLeomon drops down.

With the help of Zudomon he was able to defeat MetalEtemon once and for all but there was a price; Mimi remembers watching Leomon dissolve into data right before her very eyes, along with Joe, Gomamon, Palmon and Ogremon.

(End of Flashback)


Mimi bends down and takes a closer look at Elecmon with Palmon. When they take a closer look at the familiar scars and blades there was no mistaking who this Elecmon was.

Mimi: Leomon…? Elecmon merely nods with a big smile.

Mimi and Palmon laugh and cry out tears of joy.

Palmon: Could it really be…!?

Mimi: Leomon! She scoops Elecmon up for a big hug and he returns it. Yolei and Hawkmon continue watching in confusion. Mimi pulls back and smiles through her tears. I can't believe it's really you?!

Palmon: So you were reborn!

Elecmon: Yes, thanks to you and the other Digi-destined, the Primary Village was restored and so was I.

Mimi: Thank goodness! I'm so happy!

Yolei: Uh…Mimi…Mimi turns to Yolei. I hate to interrupt but…I'm completely lost right now. Who're these guys and how do you know them?

Ogremon: Hey, who's the girl that stole Joe's glasses? Yolei becomes comically offended.

Yolei: Hey! These are my glasses! Joe's are smaller!

Mimi: Mimi gets up. Whoops, sorry, I forgot to introduce you. She gestures to Yolei. Elecmon, Ogremon, this Yolei. She's one of the new Digi-destined that's helping us fight the Digimon Emperor.

Palmon: Palmon gestures to Hawkmon. And this is her partner, Hawkmon.

Yolei: Um…hi.

Hawkmon: Greetings friends.

Ogremon: Howdy.

Elecmon: Elecmon bows. We're honoured to meet you.

Mimi: Mimi now gestures to Ogremon and Elecmon. And Yolei, these are Ogremon and Elecmon.

Palmon: You see, Ogremon actually used to be a really evil Digimon once but then he became a great friend and helped us in our battles against the Dark Masters.

Yolei: Huh? You used to be one of the bad guys?

Ogremon: Ogremon sheepishly rubs the back of his head. Well…I wouldn't go that far. I was just going through a phase.

Mimi: And this Elecmon was actually a brave warrior called Leomon 3 years ago. We met him on File Island and he was a big help with fighting Devimon. When we came back he helped us fight the Dark Masters but then he…died. Mimi looks at Elecmon sadly as she remembers what happened when they fought MetalEtemon. She bends down with faint tears streaming down her face. I'm so sorry Elecmon. What happened to you was my fault. If I hadn't got in the way when we fought MetalEtemon, you wouldn't have had to…

Palmon: Mimi…Palmon affectionately wraps her vines around her hand and Elecmon holds her hands.

Elecmon: It's alright Mimi. I was happy to lay down my life to protect my friends. You needn't apologize at all.

Mimi smiles gratefully through her tears.

Mimi: Thank you.

Yolei: Wow, Mimi. How many friends did you and the older kids make in the Digital World.

Mimi: Mimi gets up and smiles at Yolei. This is nothing. We made dozens of friends in this crazy place. They're a little weird but they're best we've ever had. She then turns back to Ogremon and Elecmon. But you know, there's one thing that surprises me.

Ogremon: What would that be, Mimi?

Mimi: The fact that you and Elecmon are working together.

Hawkmon: Why is that such a surprise?

Palmon: Because the two of them are supposed to be rivals.

Ogremon: Normally we would be under normal circumstances but the current situation we're facing has prompted us to put our differences aside once again.

Elecmon: Indeed. The Digital World is in danger once again so Ogremon and I decided to call a truce and forsake our rivalry for the sake of our world so we can defeat the evil that threatens it.

Yolei: You must mean the Digimon Emperor.

Elecmon: Indeed.

Ogremon: This guy is a cupcake compared to the evil Dark Masters but he's bad news nonetheless.

Mimi: Don't remind me of them. Mimi shivers a bit upon remembering the Dark Masters. Those Dark Masters were monsters, especially Piedmon. He was a fashion disaster.

Yolei: I don't know who this Piedmon is, but if you think he's a fashion disaster then you should look at what the Digimon Emperor wears. He has no sense of fashion at all.

Mimi: Most boys don't.

Ogremon: Hey! Hawkmon: I beg your pardon!

Elecmon: Elecmon clears his throat to grab their attention. Back to the point, Ogremon and I have been travelling across the Digital World, destroying Control Spires and freeing those who're under the control of the Digimon Emperor.

Mimi: Wow, that's incredible!

Ogremon: But it isn't easy, the areas we've been to are swarming with slaves of the Digimon Emperor. Every day, he's taking over more territory. If it keeps up, he might become too powerful.

Hawkmon: Then it clear as day that we must stop him.

Elecmon: We had a feeling that one day the Digi-destined children would return to help us.

Mimi: And here we are. We'd be glad to help you out.

Yolei: Then let's destroy this control spire and free those Gekomon and Otamamon.

Elecmon: We'll need help. You two didn't come on your own, did you?

Mimi: We came with the others but unfortunately we wound up getting separated.

Yolei: We tried communicating with them but there's no answer coming from my Digivice.

2 shadowy bug-like figures come up.

?: No answer! We didn't even hear the question. They crawl closer and stand. We hope we're not bugging you.

The bug's chuckle and they're revealed to be big cockroaches with dark rings on their antennas.

Yolei & Mimi: Yolei and Mimi hold onto each other tightly, screaming. AAAAAH! ROACHES!

Elecmon and Ogremon have their weapons ready and Palmon and Hawkmon stand protectively in front of their partners.

Hawkmon and Palmon: It's the Roachmon brothers!

Ogremon: Not these guys again!

Elecmon: I take it you know these two.

Ogremon: They're table manners are so atrocious they make mine look well-mannered. Beat it you pests!

Roachmon 1 & 2: We're not talking to you Ogremon!


Digimon Analyser (Roachmon 1): I'm Roachmon! 2: And I'm his twin brother Roachmon. 1: I use my garbage dump attack to trash my enemies. 2: And I throw my yard sale bombs to wipe out my opponents and clean out my garage.


The Roachmon are disappointed to see only two Digi-destined.

Roachmon 1: You mean that's all. I thought you said there were a bunch of kids.

Roachmon 2: So sue me, I heard wrong!

Roachmon 1: Is it really that hard to write a message.

Roachmon 2: Next time you take the call!

Yolei: Excuse me but…do you always argue?

Roachmon 1 & 2: The Roachmon Brothers don't argue, now stay out of this!

Yolei: Sorry, go ahead.

Roachmon 1: I think I'll use my Garbage Dump attack to finish them off!

Roachmon 2: That's rubbish! I'll just use my Yard Sale Bomb on them and we won't even have to bargain.

Mimi: Better yet, how 'bout neither.

Roachmon 1 & 2: The Roachmon brothers are not gonna tell you again, stay out of this!

Mimi: Just a suggestion…

Roachmon 1: I've got an idea Roachmon, let's use both attacks!

Roachmon 2: Roachmon, that's the first smart thing you've said!

Roachmon 1 & 2: Garbage Dump!

They bend down and spread their wings before sending a variety of disgusting pieces of trash. Ogremon and Elecmon easily jumped out of the way but the others weren't lucky. Hawkmon and Palmon get slammed into Yolei and Mimi and they're buried under a pile of garbage. Mimi emerges feeling outraged with what just happened to her clothes.

Mimi: That's it! This is a designer blouse!

Ogremon: We're in the middle of a battle and all you can think about are clothes?!

The Roachmon brothers chuckle before getting ready for another attack, worrying Mimi and Yolei.

Yolei: Now what?

Elecmon: Wait and see.

Suddenly, a large piano falls from the sky and lands in front of Ogremon with a musical crash, leaving the girls speechless.

Mimi: Sorry…but I don't play.

Soon, other pieces of large furniture's like couches, chairs, beds, trash cans, bookshelves and dressers fell from the sky, prompting Yolei and Mimi to pick up their Digimon and run screaming with Ogremon and Elecmon beside them.

Roachmon 1 & 2: Yard Sale Bombs!

Everyone continues running for their lives from the dropping furniture.

Ogremon: These are the worst Digimon in the world! I mean for crying out loud, even the Numemon are cleaner than these jerks!

Mimi: Palmon, Digivolve!

Palmon: I can't until the Control Spire's destroyed!

They get closer to the control spire and the roaches get closer to them.

Roachmon 1: They were 10 feet away and you missed them!

Roachmon 2: I missed? You missed!

Yolei: Boy, for brothers, they sure don't get along very well. I'd be best friends with my sister if she was someone like Mimi.


Yolei looks up, fantasizing what it would be like to have Mimi as a sister. The very thought seems to make her blush with a dreamy smile.


Hawkmon: Yolei. Yolei is snapped back to reality. I don't mean to interrupt your daydreaming but this is a rather precarious situation, don't you think it's time?

Yolei: Right! Yolei holds up her Digivice.


Digi-Armour Energize theme

The D-terminal extends.

Yolei: Digi Armour Energize!

The Digi-egg of Love comes out.


Armour Digivolve theme

"Digimon,"

Hawkmon: Hawkmon Armour Digivolve to…!

"Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the champions!"

Hawkmon quickly fuses with the Digi-egg and is engulfed by rings of wind that take shape as images of Biyomon and all of her digivolutions appear. He sprouts metal wings and takes flight

"Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the champions!"

Halsemon, the Wings of Love!


Halsemon runs up to Yolei.

Halsemon: Yolei, climb on my back!

Yolei: Yolei climbs on. Alright, let's go! Halsemon blasts off at high speed, impressing Mimi, Palmon, Ogremon and Elecmon.

Mimi: Wow! That Armour Digivolving is so fashionable!

Elecmon: Impressive.

Ogremon: Not bad. That looks quite sleek, but I always thought Armour Digivolving was a myth.

Mimi: It looks pretty real to me.

Halsemon takes flight and attacks the Roachmon.

Halsemon: Tempest Wing!

Halsemon blasts out red lasers from his eyes, causing the Roachmon to scream in horror. They make a direct hit and explode. The Roachmon are messed up but manage to keep flying.

Roachmon 1: I feel like someone just set off a bug bomb!

Roachmon 2: Never mind, there are 2 of us and only one of him!

Ogremon: You may want to re-think your maths; it's 3 against 2! Pummel Whack! Ogremon blasts out a wave of dark energy from his fist but the Roachmon brothers dodge it.

Elecmon: Super Thunder Strike! Elecmon blasts out a bolt of electricity but they're also evaded. Elecmon growls in anger and Ogremon gets irritated.

Ogremon: These guys are getting on my nerves! They're too high in the air!

Elecmon: And they're too fast for us to land any hits!

Mimi: We have to do something now; Yolei and Halsemon can't keep fighting them on their own!

Ogremon reacts turns around in time to whack away a flurry of sound waves and bubbles. It is revealed that they came from another mob of Gekomon and Otamamon.

Ogremon: These guys never quit!

Elecmon jumps and lands in front of everyone defensively.

Elecmon: I'll keep the Gekomon and Otamamon occupied. You all destroy the Control Spires and take care of the Roachmon brothers.

Mimi and Palmon clearly don't like the idea.

Mimi: But, Elecmon! There's too many of them for you to fight on your own!

Palmon: Yeah! Let us help you!

Elecmon looks back with a confident expression.

Elecmon: You needn't worry about me; I'll be fine. I will be able to keep them distracted long enough for you to destroy the control spire.

Ogremon: Ogremon puts a comforting hand on Mimi's shoulder. Let's do what he says for now. He may not be Leomon anymore but Elecmon is more than capable of holding his own.

Mimi and Palmon exchange worried glances but they eventually nod in acceptance and turn back to Elecmon.

Mimi: Okay, we'll go but be careful!


Mimi, Palmon and Ogremon run in the direction of the Control Spire and Elecmon glares at his opponesnts before jumping up.

Elecmon: Super Thunder Strike! He blasts out a bolt of lightning and electrocutes the horde of Gekomon and Otamamon.


The Roachmon Brothers continue to try and land a hit on Yolei and Halsemon but it's all in vain.

Roachmon 1 & 2: Roachmon Fly Swatter! They attempt to land a double kick but Halsemon swiftly evades. Roachmon Exterminate! They now try to chop him but they miss again and hit the ground.

Seeing their stupidity gives Mimi an idea. She smiles and looks at the Control Spire.

Mimi: That's it!

Ogremon: You got a plan?

Mimi: I think so. She turns to Yolei. Yolei, I got an idea.

Yolei: What?

Mimi: Those Roachmon don't seem to be too smart; you can use them to destroy the tower!

Yolei: Alright! She holds out her finger. Perfecto!

Mimi and Ogremon make a dash for the Control Spire with Palmon still in Mimi's arm.

Mimi: Come on guys, let's get ready!

Yolei has her head turned to see that the Roachmon brothers once again are flying after her and Halsemon.

Yolei: Here they come, you know what to do!

Roachmon 1 & 2 Roachmon Exterminate! They both attempt to ram in to them as they get closer to the tower. Mimi, Palmon and Ogremon are adjusting a searchlight.

Mimi: Since these guys aren't too bright…

Ogremon: Let's shed some light on them.

They direct the searchlight to the Roachmon. They're engulfed and blinded, causing them to ram into the control spire, creating a small crater. Yolei celebrates.

Yolei: Alright!

Ogremon: Let's put the finishing touches! Pummel Whack! He releases dark energy from his fist and damages the control spire even more. It's now surrounded in electricity.

Palmon: Now?

Mimi: Mimi grins and nods. Now!

Palmon: Alright! Palmon throws the hat to Mimi and runs just as Mimi puts it on.


Digivolution Theme

"Digimon!"

The Digivice beams a light high above and sparkles of light drop from above.

"Digimon"

"Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the champions!"

"Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the champions!"

A light green beam of light pours from the top of the digi-zone and forms an image of Togemon that soon disappears. Palmon spins in the digi-zone and gain data.

Palmon: Palmon Digivolve to…

"Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the champions!"

Togemon!

"Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon!"

...


The Roachmon brothers poke their heads out but are immobilised so the Digimon attack.

Togemon: Needle Spray! Togemon spins and unleashes a shower of bullets that pelt the Roachmon.

Halsemon: Tempest Wing! Halsemon unleashes red laser beams from his eyes that destroy the control spire and send the Roachmon brothers plummeting and screaming to the ground.


In his lair, the Digimon Emperor becomes furious when he sees another black square disappear from screen.

Ken: My Spire! Grrr! He furrows his eyebrows in outrage and gets up. They've destroyed another one of my Control Spires. Talk about a wasted weekend. He proceeds to leave. I'm going home! Lock up when you're done!

Wormmon: About time, now I can watch my Saturday cartoons.


Davis sees the black square on his Digivice disappear and finally gets a signal. Cody gets the same result on his D-terminal.

Davis: Hey, look, its Yolei's signal! It's coming in crystal clear.

Cody: That's a good sign; it must mean that they're all okay and they were able to destroy the Control Spire in that area. They look up in relief.

Davis: Alright! Way to go, Yolei!


Back in the forest, the Dark Rings detach from the Gekomon and Otamamon. They're sat down, confused as to where they are and what happened to them while Elecmon stand near them with a happy expression.

Elecmon: They've done it.


Yolei, Hawkmon, Mimi, Togemon and Ogremon watch the Dark Rings also detach from the Roachmon brothers who're getting up after their gruelling experience. Yolei and Mimi exchange satisfied expressions.

Mimi: Now they'll be friendly.

Yolei: Yeah.

Unfortunately, they couldn't be any more wrong.

Roachmon 1: Last thing I remember, we were at the motel.

Roachmon 2: Yeah, we were out by the pool and you took my towel!

Roachmon 1: Well, you ate the little chocolate they put on the pillow!

Roachmon 2: I put those chocolate on the pillows; I bought them from home!

Roachmon 1: From whom!? Those were my chocolates in the freezer!

Roachmon 2: Oh yeah! It's my freezer!

Roachmon 1: It's my house!

Roachmon 2: I'm paying rent!

They get into a hilarious fight that covers them in a cloud of smoke and Yolei and Mimi could only watch wide-eyed while feeling totally speechless. These bugs still argue even when they're not being controlled.

Yolei: It just goes to show you, they're some families where they're better off having one child.

Mimi: You're right Yolei and in some cases like this one, they shouldn't have kids at all.

Yolei: I think it's time we left these two alone.


The brothers take their fight to the air, causing explosions wherever they go.

Roachmon 1: Next time, stay on your half of the house!

Roachmon 2: And you stay on yours!

Roachmon 1: Fine!

Roachmon 2: Fine!


Yolei and Mimi decide to ignore the explosions and focus on who's coming up ahead.

Yolei: Here comes Davis and the others!

Davis, Veemon, Cody, Armadillomon, TK, Patamon, Kari, Gatomon, Elecmon and the horde of Gekomon and Otamamon stampede in a happy mob formation.

Davis: Yolei! Hawkmon! We're over here!

TK: Hey! Is that Ogremon!

Ogremon: Hey, how've you punks been!?

Everyone is extremely happy especially the Gekomon and Otamamon who have waited to see Mimi for such a long time.

Gekomon: They told us you were back princess but we didn't believe them!

Otamamon: Princess Mimi, we've been waiting for the day you would return to us.

Mimi bends down smiling and laughing and hugs as many of the Gekomon and Otamamon as she could.

Togemon: Mimi.

Mimi gets up and turns to her partner.

Mimi: Huh? Togemon?

Togemon: I will protect this area now, you can count on me.

Mimi: Mimi gently touches her boxing gloves. I've always counted on you.

Davis: Who is that?

Yolei: That's Mimi's Digimon, Togemon.

Davis: Wow, Togemon! Call us is you need us.

Everyone: Goodbye, Togemon!

Togemon: Togemon sheepishly rubs the back of her head. Don't make me cry, rubbing my eyes hurts too much.


The Digi-destined laugh and the Roachmon brothers continue quarrelling.


After saying goodbye to Togemon and the Gekomon and Otamamon, the Digi-destined stand in front of the TV screen, ready to go home but not before saying goodbye to Ogremon and Elecmon. Ogremon is wearing a black coat over his back like a cape and a straw hat like that last time they saw him before he left.

Davis: Intros first. Davis points himself with his thumb. My name's Davis and I'm the leader of this group but I'm sure you've heard all about me.

Ogremon: Actually, no, we've never heard a single thing about you.

Davis face plants to the ground and Cody walks up to introduce himself with a smile.

Cody: And my name is Cody. He politely bows. It's an honour to meet you both.

Elecmon: It is we, who are honoured to meet you, the new Digi-destined.

Patamon: It's hard to believe that you're actually the Leomon we met 3 years ago.

TK: Yeah, we're really glad to see you've been reborn.

Kari: We never met before, but my name's Kari. My older brother Tai, you know. She gestures to Gatomon. And this is Gatomon.

Gatomon: Hi.

Elecmon: I'm pleased to meet you Kari. He looks to everyone. Be sure to give the other Digi-destined my best regards.

Mimi: We will.

Veemon: So what are the two of you gonna do now?

Kari: Are you going to protect the Night Forest along with Togemon.

Ogremon: Nah, she's got it covered. Our work here is done.

Elecmon: Now that the Night Forest is free from the Digimon Emperor we are now going to move on to the next area under the Digimon Emperor's control and free it. We're also hoping to gather powerful friends and ally to form an army against the Digimon Emperor and end his tyranny once and for all.

Everyone gasps and jump in surprise at this piece of information.

Armadillomon: You're gonna create an army!?

Davis: That's so cool! I can already picture an army of Digimon duking it out with slaves of the Digimon Emperor, working to defeat him!

Kari: Do you really think you can do it?

Ogremon: Well, we won't know unless we try.

TK: In that case, if you ever form that army, call us and we'll be there to help.

Elecmon: Of course.

Mimi: It was great seeing you Elecmon. The next time we meet I hope you'll be back to being Leomon again.

Elecmon: I look forward to it Mimi. Give Tai and the other children my best regards.

Davis: Good luck in making that army you guys.

Ogremon: Thanks. The both of them turn their backs. Well it's time for us to hit the road.

Elecmon: May our paths cross again, Digi-destined.

The both of them walk off in the sunset and wave to the Digi-destined who are all saying their goodbyes.

Digi-destined/Digimon: Goodbye!

Mimi: Take care of yourselves.

Yolei: Be safe!

TK: Good luck in your journey!

Gatomon: Don't forget to write!


Sometime later, the kids are back in the real world and are outside the school. The younger kids are all heading for home while Mimi is gonna go to the airport to go to America.

Yolei: Goodbye Mimi!

Cody: Bye!

Davis: It was nice to meet you!

The younger kids all walk away and Mimi waves them goodbye.

Mimi: Goodbye everyone! Thanks for a great picnic! Bye!

They halt when Yolei stops to say something to Mimi.

Yolei: Oh, Mimi, I almost forgot!

Mimi: Huh?

Yolei: I wanted to say, that when I get older, I wanna be…JUST LIKE YOU!

Mimi buts her hand on her chin and considers what she just said before looking up with a smile at the idea, deciding she'd want to be like Yolei from time to time. She smiles right at her and puts up her finger before saying one of Yolei's signature catchphrases.

Mimi: Perfecto!

It is obvious at this point that Yolei has someone other than Sora to look up to at this point. Now she has found another new friend she can relate to in the form of Mimi Tachikawa.


Narrator: Will the Digi-destined be able to stop the Digimon Emperor from expanding his empire? Find out on the next Digimon, Digital Monsters!


Looks like Yolei's got a new idol to look up to other than Sora.

Hooray! Leomon has been reborn and is back in action. He may be a Rookie he's still the same brave warrior fighting for justice. Not only that he's working together ith Ogremon to fight the Emperor.

You read right, Elecmon and Ogremon are gonna form a resistance army to overthrow the Digimon Emperor. Will they succeed?
