Tai was driving the R.V. through the streets and T.K. noticed something.
"Zomboe's circus, cool." T.K. said.
"I haven't been to the circus in a long time." Kari said.
"What do you say Davis?" Tai said.
"I don't think so, circus are for kids." Davis said.
"Davis what are we?" T.K. said.
"Sorry Davis, but it looks like you're out numbered three to one." Tai said. They made it to the circus and people were lining up for the big tent.
"Wow this place must be popular." Kari said.
"I'm telling you this is a waste of time." Davis said.
"Ladies and Gentlemen come and see the Freako Trio." A carney said. "Presenting the toughest in arms and head, Hard Skull." A big pale guy came up and bent a metal pole in a ring. "She knows how to deal with tangles with her hair, Freak Hair." A woman with long red hair grabbed the ring with her hair and expand it. "Finally his breath is worse than his bite, Toxic." A bald guy with an eye patch blew out toxic and melt the pole.
"Gross." Kari said. Davis snuck away and noticed a tent that had the main clown Zombo.
"It's time for some laughs, you're going to knock them dead." Zombo said in a mirror and Davis backed up.
"Hey." T.K. said. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing I just don't like being here." Davis said.
"Hey guys the shows about to start." Tai said and they went into the main tent.
"Ladies and Gentlemen welcome the one with laughs, you'll die laughing, Zombo." The carney said and a mini car drove up and Zombo came out with people laughing.
"Hi there everyone. I love laughing, it feeds me." Zombo said.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Davis said and left.
"I'll be right back." Kari said and went after him. Kari followed him outside the tent. "Hey what's wrong?"
"Nothing I just don't like being here." Davis said, then heard a sound and saw the Freako Trio robbing a jewelry store. "Whoa the freaks are villains."
"The circus must be a distraction." Kari said.
"You take cover, I'm going to take care of these guys." Davis said and became Garurumon with Hard Skull seeing him.
"Good doggie, down boy." Hard Skull said.
"Who are you calling doggie?" Garurumon said and tackled him down. Toxic sprayed some acid, but Garurumon dodged it. "That's just plain gross."
"Howling Blaster." He blasted him right down. Freak Hair tried her hair, but Garurumon grabbed it and pulled her around.
"Get the boss." Toxic said to Hard Skull.
…
The Big Top
People continued to laugh as Zombo continued to clown around.
"Laughter is the best medicine for me." Zombo said.
"A boss we have a problem." Hard Skull said as he entered.
"How many times have I told you not to disturb me when I'm feeding?" Zombo said.
"I know boss, but there's a problem." Hard Skull said.
….
The Streets
"Okay start talking, what's going on?" Garurumon said with his paws over Toxic and Freak Hair.
"Well you seem to know a few tricks." Zombo said as he came in. "Let's see if you know how to play dead." He gave Garurumon a powerful kick.
"I've take it you don't like dogs." Garurumon said.
"You've been a bad dog." A secret boxing glove on a mechanic arm stretch out and punched him under a metal tower for electricity. "Bring the house down on this mutt." All three of them attacked the support beams and the tower came down over Garurumon. "Now let's pack it up." They headed back to the circus.
"Davis where are you?" Kari said. The watch timed out and he came out and blacked out with Kari placing his head on her lap.
…..
The Circus
The big top seems to have vanished and Tai was sitting and still laughing.
"Tai?" Kari said.
"Oh Davis, Kari where did you guys go?" Tai said still laughing.
"Where did the circus go?" Davis said.
"The circus, oh that was a laugh." Tai said and it looked like he was tired.
"Tai are you okay?" Kari said.
"Yeah I guess I'm just glum." Tai said and laughed again.
"Then why are you laughing?" Kari said.
"Wait a minute, where's T.K.?" Davis said.
….
Zombo
Zombo was driving through.
"Did you pack me a snack?" Zombo said and Hard Skull showed they had a few people including T.K. that were still laughing.
….
R.V.
Davis, Tai, and Kari were doing their best.
"Okay so the circus was for the freaks to rob everyone, but why kidnap T.K.?" Kari said.
"I don't know, but we'll find him." Tai said a bit tired.
"I told you the circus was a bad idea." Davis said.
"Davis what's been going on with you?" Tai said.
"I had a bad experience at the circus once. If it wasn't for a tranquilizing dart a lion would have took my face off, and people always say I end up working there." Davis said.
"Well those people are fools." Tai said and his vision began to become blurry.
"Tai?" Davis said.
"So sleepy." Tai said and collapsed on the wheel and they drove off the road.
"Tai!" Davis said and he and Kari grabbed the wheel. "Brake." Davis said, but the brake wasn't enough. "Kari try the emergency brake." Kari pulled on the brake and the R.V. stopped.
"Tai are you okay?" Kari said.
"So sleepy." Tai said.
"Tai what happened in the big top after Kari and I left?" Davis said. Tai remembered a machine and this strange blue fog. He also remembered all the stuff Zombo said about laughter.
"Guys I think Zombo steals people's happiness, until there's nothing left of that person." Tai said.
"And he's got T.K." Kari said.
"Kari you stay here with Tai, I'm going after Zombo myself." Davis said.
…
Zombo's Circus
Davis made it to Zombo's circus that was loading up. Davis saw the Freako Trio.
"I think I just my like the circus here." Davis said. He dialed up the digimon wants and slammed the watch down where his arms became tentacles and grew a horn.
"What's that sound?" Hard Skull said.
"Do you mean me?" They turned and saw Kurisarimon with the watch on his chest.
"What is that?" Freak Hair said.
"Who cares." Toxic said. All three of them attacked, but he avoided them.
"I'll show you something real freaky." Kurisarimon said and attached himself to a baseball shooter. "Play ball." He launched a ton of baseballs right on Hard Skull's gut and knocked him down. Freak Hair used her hair to deflect the baseballs.
"That all you got." Freak Hair said.
"How's this?" Kurisarimon said and after firing one baseball used the second one to knock her down since she was on one leg. Toxic started spitting some acid. "Didn't your mother ever tell you it's not nice to spit?"
"Who do you think raise me?" Toxic said. Before he could spit anymore Kurisarimon launched a baseball in the mouth he fired more at his head and got off the shooter.
"Three strikes and you're out." Kurisarimon as he headed to the entrance. "Alright after I save T.K. that clown is next." The watch however timed out.
"Who's side are you on?" Davis said.
"Say that was pretty impressive." Zombo's voice echoed. "Was that you as that dog too? Are you a freak?"
"I'm not a freak." Davis said.
"Can't you take a joke?" Zombo said.
"Where are you?" Davis said.
"Come on in." Zombo said and a long arm pulled Davis in the tent and right in front of Zombo in front of his machine that had everyone's happiness.
"What do you want?" Davis said.
"What all clown wants, to make people laugh." Zombo said.
"I want my friend T.K. back." Davis said.
"You're friend, didn't you hear he ran away with the circus." Zombo said and Davis saw T.K. was a little bonier. "You may be laughing now, but I'm going to get the last laugh." Davis said. He transformed with his arms and legs shrinking and became Bakemon with the watch on his chest.
"Nice try kid. I don't take jokes, I just sell them." Zombo said.
"How's this for a laugh, now you see me, now you don't." Bakemon said as he disappeared and Zombo had his guard up. "You know what I hate more than clowns, losing my friends. In other words." He gave him a punch in the rubber nose. "You're going down clown." He saw a plank and it hit him in the face.
"I'm not scared of you." Zombo said as Bakemon reappeared.
"You want to see something really scary." Bakemon said as he lifted his cloth and what Zombo said really scared him. He backed into the machine that caused all the happiness to be free.
"Please don't hurt me." Zombo said.
"Oh you don't want to be scared, Boo!" Bakemon said and Zombo blew up like a balloon. "Whoa now that was freaky." The watch timed out and Davis checked on T.K.
"Davis, what happened?" T.K. said as he got up. The other freaks were arrested and the others were on the road now.
"So what do you guys want to do now?" Tai said.
"There might be another circus in town." Davis said.
"Anything, but a circus please." T.K. said.
