Digimon Adventure – ep 25 – Princess Karaoke
(A/N: Due to a very good and reasonable suggestion given to me by someone, Lillymon will be debuting in this episode since it focuses on Mimi and to have her first victory or rather big contribution in defeating an Ultimate level Digimon.)
Tai: DemiDevimon tricked Izzy and made him fall into Vademon's universe. Convincing Izzy to give up his curiosity, Vademon turned him into a total-like zombie. To make things worse, that brain-head got a hold of his Tag and Crest, Tentomon got so bummed out he de-digivolved to Pabumon. Thankfully, Izzy snapped out of it and with Pabumon's help, got back the Tag and Crest. Pabumon Digivolved to MegaKabuterimon and sent Vademon clear into another dimension. Ha! Later Brain-head!
Joe and TK were successful in finding Izzy but how was Tai's team in their search for Mimi, let's find out. Tai, Matt, Sora and their Digimon use Matt's swan boat to follow Mimi's green Digivice signal. Tai, Matt and Sora paddle, Agumon, Gabumon (who's digivolved form Tsunomon) and Biyomon sit on the top.
Agumon: Hey what's wrong you guys? Can't this bucket go any faster?
Sora: Hey at least we're doing something.
Matt: What're you doing to help?
Agumon: Watching for icebergs.
Biyomon: Plus it's comfy here.
Gabumon: We'd gladly trade places with you but…
The Digimon: Unfortunately our little legs won't reach the pedals.
The Digimon burst into laughter. Tai, Matt and Sora get miffed.
Tai: Hey we could go faster if we threw you off!
Matt: For once I agree with Tai!
Agumon: You wouldn't!
Tai: It's tempting.
Gabumon: Better not.
Sora: I don't know where Mimi is, but I'd be glad to trade places with her right now even if it meant staying alone in some sort of forest. Do you think she's okay; I'm really worried about her?
Tai: Don't worry Sora, I'm sure Mimi's fine, wherever she is; she's probably complaining about how tired she is and is gossiping about beauty and clothes with Palmon.
Sora smiles at her crush for his enthusiasm while Matt gets a bit impatient.
Matt: Come on! Let's make this piece of junk go faster! The sooner we get to this lousy signal the sooner I can see Mimi again!
Tai and Sora stare at Matt teasingly.
Tai & Sora: Ooooh!
Matt turns to them with a confused expression.
Matt: What's that supposed to me?
Tai: Isn't it obvious.
Sora: Someone's in a hurry to see Mimi. I wonder why?
Matt gets what they're talking about and frantically blushes with a mad look.
Matt: I don't know what you're talking about!
Tai: Someone has a big crush on Mimi.
Matt: I don't have a crush on anyone!
Tai and Sora burst into laughter while Matt turns his face in embarrassment.
Matt: "Oh man, how'd they figure it out? Was I being that obvious? Mimi has been my only friend for as long as I can remember. I seriously hope they don't find out that I do have a crush on her. She's cute, kind and she's really sweet. Man I wish I could tell her how I feel."
It is very obvious at this point that Matt is love with Mimi. The trio of Courage, Friendship and Love arrive at a beach where they're in awe of a huge castle on the high cliff.
Matt: Wow that palace is huge!
Tai: And way up there! As if my legs weren't tired already. He checks his Digivice to see that Mimi's signal is in the palace. But there's no doubt about it that is Mimi so up we go.
The 6 of them walk up their stairs but are seriously exhausted after they arrive at the door.
Sora: Now I understand how Mimi feels when she gets this exhausted.
Matt: How do they get their mail?
Multiple voices are heard on the other sides, shouting things that make no sense. They open the door and take a peak to see frogs with horns attached their body and big purple tadpole like creature.
Tai: Is this a palace or some kind of a loony bin?
Sora: Maybe it's an insane asylum.
Matt: Or maybe it's all three.
Gekomon: Her Highness is getting angry!
Digimon Analyser (Gabumon): These are Gekomon, I've heard of them. They really love music, not surprising since they're born with those horns.
Otamamon: Hurry before she blows her top!
Digimon Analyser (Biyomon): And I've heard of the other Digimons – they're called Otamamon and they're the rookie form of Gekomon.
Gekomon: Hurry, hurry!
Gabumon: Um…hello.
Gekomon stops and the digi-destined walk up.
Gabumon: Could you help us, we're looking for someone.
Gekomon: About time you got here, where's the triple hot fudge sundae we ordered n delivery for the princess.
All: That's not us.
Gekomon 2: Then you must be delivering her bacon chilly cheese burger with fries and a super sized milkshake.
All: That's not us either.
Gekomon 3: Of course not, they're delivering the garden fresh salad with low fat dressing.
All: We'd like to ask a question if you don't mind.
Gekomon: Her Highness asked for fudge sundae!
Gekomon 2: No she wants a bacon chilly cheese burger!
Gekomon 3: Excuse me; she said she wanted a Greek salad!
Tai puts up his hands.
Tai: Hey excuse me; have you seen a girl in a hat?
Otamamon: Hey we're ordering lunch here.
Matt: Well then I'll have a burger.
Otamamon: All the princess really wants is that polka dot party dress she ordered.
Otamamon 2: Old news. Now she wants pink leather pants with matching boots and accessories.
Otamamon: No one told me that!
Otamamon 2: Oh, Get with the program!
All the Gekomon and Otamamon have a big argument and ignore the Digi-Destined who can't help but nervously smile at the scene.
Matt: It sounds to me that this princess of theirs is extremely picky.
Tai: She sounds kinda spoiled if you ask me.
Sora: She and Mimi would get along well, don't you think.
Tai: Boy I'll bet.
Agumon: I wonder what happens if they don't do what she says.
Gekomon and Otamamon: Here she comes!
They run off to get in position. Everyone look up the top of the stairs.
Gekomon 1: Presenting her highness, the princess!
Tai: Cool, we're going to get to meet the princess.
Sora: Are you in love with her lover boy?
Tai: Me? No way Jose; my heart already belongs to another lady.
Sora: Really, what's her name?
Matt: Shh! She's coming.
They gasp when they see who it is.
Tai, Matt and Sora: Huh? It's Mimi!
It's Mimi alright, and the child of Sincerity is wearing a pink princess dress, a crown and the Crest of Sincerity around her neck. She's also holding a fancy pink fur lined fan and is quite surprised to see her friends. The Gekomon and Otamamon are bowing down while Matt blushes at sight of her beauty.
Matt: "Oh man, she looks so beautiful."
Mimi: Oh bummer, what a surprise. She smiles at Matt. "I wish it was just Matt here."
Tai: You're telling me what're you doing up their?
Mimi: What do you think? I'm being a princess of course. Mimi opens her fan in front of her.
Sora: So while we've been stuck out in the wild looking for Tai you've been living the life of a princess in this palace.
Mimi: That's right.
Agumon: So you're the spoiled princess we've been hearing about.
All: We should've known it was Mimi.
That did it.
Mimi: Don't call me Mimi anymore! She crosses her arm. That's 'Princess' now.
In the forest far away from the castle, DemiDevimon speaks to Myotismon.
DemiDevimon: Don't you worry oh mighty wickedness; this time we cannot fail.
Myotismon: We? "You'd" better not fail!
DemiDevimon is looking quite confident.
DemiDevimon: It's in the bag, piece of cake.
Myotismon: Is the plan at the palace working?
DemiDevimon: Couldn't be better; the Gekomon are spoiling her rotten and she's eating it up, if she keeps this up much longer her Crest of Sincerity is gonna be useless master.
Myotismon: Do you know what will happen if you disappoint me again DemiDevimon?
DemiDevimon cowers in fear.
DemiDevimon: I've got a big idea.
Myotismon: Good. Then see that you don't. And with that said he disappears.
Back in the castle, Mimi has brought everyone to her new bedroom.
Sora: We're really happy to see you Mimi.
Mimi: Thanks, I'm glad to see you too.
Matt: The important thing is you're alright
Tai: Yeah, that's for sure.
Matt: You look really pretty in that dress of yours.
Mimi can't help but blush.
Mimi: Oh, really? You think so?
Tai: Well come on, let's get a move on.
Mimi: No way!
Matt: Right, you wanna change first. We'll wait.
Mimi: For what? I'm keeping this dress on.
Agumon: And it's beautiful but it's not the best thing to wear to walk long distances.
Mimi: Walking? I have no intention of walking anywhere.
The other are completely confused and Matt gets sarcastic.
Sora: What're you saying?
Matt: Are you expecting us to carry you out of here, your majesty?
Mimi: No I'm not going.
Everyone open their mouths in shock.
All: Huh?
Mimi: Why would I leave? I am a princess here. Besides, who knows if we'll ever find our way home, so I might as well live large and in charge.
Matt: You've gotta be kidding?
Mimi: No way take a look around, I've got a nice bed, pretty clothes, food, it's like having a birthday every day, I am princess. And you want me to give this up, I don't think so. She looks at them as if they're stupid and haven't been paying attention until Palmon is heard.
Palmon: Is something wrong?
Agumon, Gabumon and Biyomon turn to the door and then their partners.
Agumon: Another servant?
Gabumon: No, even better.
Biyomon: I know that voice anywhere, it's Palmon.
Sora: Perfect timing.
Matt: Yeah finally, a voice of reason, Palmon come talk some sense into Mimi.
Palmon comes in wearing a pink and white dress like Mimi's.
Palmon: As in 'Princess'?
The trio of Courage, Friendship and Love and their Digimons hilariously face plant to the floor and Matt gets up in the plant Digimons face, catching her by surprise.
Matt: Oh no! Not you too!
Palmon: Uh huh.
Sora and Tai have had it.
Sora: Look you two, this is serious; both our worlds are in danger and all you can think about is being pampered like a couple of babies!
Tai: Sora's right, that's enough! This is no time for playing games, both of you change out of those dumb clothes and let's gets outta here!
Mimi is seriously not having this.
Mimi: I'm not playing a game Tai, I'm staying! They all turn to Mimi in shock. You can go anytime. Why don't you all go look for the others. Be gone from my palace!
Palmon: Palmon becomes concerned. Wait Mimi, don't be mean, they're our friends.
Mimi turns her attention to Palmon.
Mimi: If you wanna go, be my guest!
Tai is starting to fume with annoyance and clenches his fists.
Tai: You are coming with us! Get down off that high horse of yours and shift your rear into high gear.
Matt: Tai quit it; don't talk to her like that!
Tai: Whose side are you on Matt!?
Matt: I'm on your side, but yelling at her isn't gonna do any good for us!
Sora: Listen to yourself Mimi, this isn't you. The old Mimi may like to complain but you knew what the right thing to do was. Can't you see that we're your friends Mimi?
Matt: Yeah, come on. Why do you think we almost killed ourselves trying to find you? Because you are a part of the team and there's no way we're leaving without you!
Mimi's eyes spark up with happiness but its clear reasoning and kind words even from her crush don't get through because she turns away with her arms crossed.
Mimi: That's very nice but I'm not going.
Mimi is really getting on their nerves.
Tai: That's it Mimi, like it or not, Matt and Sora are right; we've gotta stick together, so I'm not budging from this spot until you come to your senses and leave with us. Tai sits with his legs crossed.
Agumon: Yeah! Agumon follows his partner's example.
Gabumon: Right! Gabumon sits down too.
Biyomon: That goes double for me! Even Biyomon does the same.
Mimi turns to them with a cold look.
Mimi: Really? You all keep forgetting who's in charge here.
The selfish princess grabs a bell and rings it. A swarm of Gekomon appear.
Gekomon: Your highness, what is it you desire!
Mimi: I desire these rude and bothersome peasants to be removed from my bedroom at once.
Gekomon: Yes princess!
The Gekomon grab the six of them and proceed to kick them out the palace.
Matt: Hey let go!
Agumon: Quit pushing!
Sora: Mimi, don't do this!
Tai: Get your grubby hands off me!
Before the door closes Mimi gives Matt a sad look as if she's feeling regret for kicking him out like that.
Mimi: Matt…
Palmon turns to her partner in worry and disappointment.
Palmon: Oh Mimi…
They're now outside.
Tai: I won't dissect you frogs in biology, okay.
All of them get thrown onto the draw bridge. They turn their heads in annoyance.
Gabumon: If that's the way you treat your guests, we're never coming back!
They get up and can't believe how Mimi just turned on them like that, especially Matt.
Matt: Now what're we gonna do? She's totally into this Digi-fairy tale. You still wish to trade places with her Sora?
Sora: No way, if it meant I'd have to become what we just saw then I'd rather be paddling the swan boat. What's happened to her, Mimi used to be so pure and sincere no matter how much she complained?
Tai: You got me and I wonder what she could've done to get them to wait on her hand and foot like this.
Matt: Matt glares at Tai. Gee, way to go Tai, thanks to you we just got kicked out.
Tai: Tai glares back. How is this my fault?
Matt: If you hadn't yelled at Mimi the way you did we wouldn't have gotten kicked out like that and she might've agreed to leave with us.
Tai: At least I did something unlike you!
It gets physical and they tug onto each other's shirt. Sora gets in between them and struggles to stop their fight.
Sora: Stop it! Do I have to separate the two of you like a couple of children, now's not the time! We have to find out what made Mimi like this!
Gekomon: You really wanna know?
The argument stops and they turn; surprised to see the 3 Gekomon and Otamamon are suddenly depressed.
Tai: Um…sure.
The 6 of them nervously follow the Gekomons and Otamamons to what appears to be a royal warehouse.
Matt: You're not taking us to an evil Digimon are you?
Gekomon: Uh, uh.
Sora: Is this really a good idea?
Tai: Yeah, what if Mimi catches us.
Gekomon 3: She won't.
They get inside and Gekomon motions them to the front.
Gekomon: Here's our lord and master Shogunmon.
In front of them is a stage that had dozens of different lights and on it was a huge red and yellow frog with his back turned. He had two large horns on his shoulders with a green collar made out of leaves around his neck. He also has a long red tail with purple hair at the end. The Digi-destined and their Digimon are in awe of his ginourmous size.
Tai: Whoa!
Sora: He's huge!
Tai: Somebody's had a few too many donuts! This guy is even bigger than my uncle Fred in thanksgiving!
Matt: Is it a statue or what?
Gekomon 2: No it's not a statue; he's very much alive.
The digi-destined are surprised upon hearing this information.
All: Huh?
Agumon: He may be alive but he's not lively is he?
Gabumon: Or mobile for that matter.
Biyomon: From the way he looks you'd think he's sleeping.
Otamamon: That's because he is sleeping.
Gekomon: He's been this way for over 300 years. You see Lord Shogunmon was proud of his voice and entering singing contests, but he lost. He felt so bad he fell into a deep sleep from which he never recovered. It's said only a voice as beautiful as the one that beat him can wake him up. For centuries we tried, but every song's failed.
Gekomon 3: We Gekomon love music but unfortunately none of us has a voice that would be considered beautiful.
Otamamon: Then we got a break. A strange little Digimon spoke of a girl with a pretty voice. The Digimon was none other than DemiDevimon. He told us where to find her and we did.
(A/N: I'm not bothered with this flashback, just watch Digimon ep 25 to see it.)
(Time skip)
After explaining what Mimi has been doing to these poor Digimon the gang feel sorry for the Gekomon and Otamamon.
Otamamon 2: And that's the way it's been, one excuse after another.
Biyomon: That's so sad.
Gekomon 3: We've done all she's wanted, we've even redecorated the entire palace for her. I used to like pink but now I can't stand to look at it.
Otamamon 2: And if anyone of us complains to her.
(Flashback)
Mimi: Whoa, careful, you wouldn't want me to lose my voice now would ya?
She rudely twirls her hair as she smugly smiles.
(End of Flashback)
The Otamamon have tears in their eyes; unable to handle the selfish princess anymore. The 5 of them are desperate to escape her tyranny.
Otamamon: So we're in a terrible position you see, we're totally helpless.
Sora: I think I know why Mimi's acting like this now?
Matt: Don't keep us in suspense then, explain it to us.
Sora: I think Mimi is homesick; she's always been pampered and treated like a princess in our world. She must really feel at home in this castle.
Tai: When you put it that way I suppose I can understand why she wants to stay here but that doesn't mean we can leave her.
Matt: Matt turns to the Gekomon. Unfortunately you've given Mimi the life she's been accustomed to and then some.
Gekomon 3: Well since you're friends of hers…
Otamamon: Could you please reason with her please, we'd be so eternally grateful.
Agumon: I don't think she knows what reason is.
Biyomon: Can we ask something, this strange Digimon that told you about Mimi, was it a bat shaped like a bowling ball?
Gekomon 2: Yes that's exactly what he is.
The Digi-destined exchange looks of concern when they realize who the culprit is.
Sora: Call me crazy but I think I smell a rat involved.
Tai: More like a bat.
Agumon: It was DemiDevimon, it has to be. He tricked the Gekomon into bringing Mimi here so she'd go this bonkers.
Gabumon: Well what're we supposed to do now? His plan seems to have worked.
Tai clenches his fists in determination.
Tai: Just leave it to me guys. I've got it. He slaps his chest and the Digi-destined turn to him shock while the Gekomon and Otamamon are grateful.
Gekomon: I knew it, I knew you'd come through!
Otamamon 1 & 2: Yay!
Sora: What're you thinking Tai?
Matt: If means getting Mimi back, then I'm in too.
Sora: Matt, not you too. How're we even supposed to get Mimi to fulfil her promise and bring her back.
Tai: Well who says you need Mimi to wake up Jumbo? He grabs a microphone. Crank it up and let me take a shot!
Everyone (except Tai): YOOUU! They all hilariously sweat drop and laugh as they stare at Tai in disbelief, thinking he's crazy with their mouths and eyes wide open.
Tai: Wat'cha laughing at!?
I'm gonna sing a song
The music starts up, the disco ball lights up and Tai begins to sing but everyone if forced to hold their ears.
I'm gonna sing a song
A song that will wake you up
I'm gonna belt it out
Shogunmon it's time to get UUUUPPP!
ShogunGekomon doesn't move one bit.
Tai: Hey, wake up! Tai groans and slumps in annoyance.
Matt: Way to go genius.
Sora: That was almost as bad as Etemon's singing.
Tai: Tai gets annoyed and turns to Sora. Ok Know-it-all, let's hear you sing.
Sora: Don't worry my voice will wake Shogunmon up. Biyomon let's sing together.
Biyomon: Right!
Sora and Biyomon sing together but their singing is too loud and everyone hilariously cringes as they cover their ears.
I'm gonna sing you a song
A song from the bottom of my heart
This song is a true work of art
So listen up
And please Wakuuupp!
Gekomon: Enough!
(A/N: Sorry that my idea for Sora and Biyomon's version of the song isn't that good, please give me ideas so I can edit it later and the same goes for Matt.)
Sora and Biyomon groan, slumping in embarrassment and walk up to the others.
Tai: And you said my singing was bad!
Sora and Biyomon shouts in his face.
Sora: AT LEAST WE TRIED!
Biyomon: YEAH, YOU FAILED TOO!
Matt takes the microphone.
Matt: Hey let me give it a shot.
Matt sings next and he actually sings quite well but it's not enough and Shogunmon's tail doesn't move at all.
I'm attempting to sing a song
A song that will awaken you
And aid all of the Gekomon
That are loyal to your world view
And of you being in charge. Everyone shakes their head, thinking 'no' even though he's singing well.
I'm attempting to sing a song
A song that will awaken you and aid all of the Gekomon…
Matt comes off the stage and walks up utterly dejected.
Sora: Don't feel bad Matt, you did good, it just wasn't good enough
Tai: Not so easy is it Matt.
Matt: Matt shouts right in his face. AT LEAST I'M GOOD AT SINGING!
A few moments later Agumon and Gabumon sing but their song is the worst one of all.
I bring this song to you
A tune right now until June
When you hear us sing
You'll call us singing buffoons. Everyone comically cover their ears and glare at both Digimon in irritation and a deadpan fashion.
We just wanna wake ya so don't close your ears
Or you'll sleep for years!
Otamamon: Enough!
Agumon and Gabumon slump in disappointment, the music stops and the lights turn off.
Matt: It's no use.
Sora: That was the worst one yet.
Tai: After that he might not wake up for another 300 years.
Biyomon: At this rate we'll never bring Mimi to her senses.
Palmon appears.
Palmon: Hey guys.
Tai: Palmon!
Palmon: Why did you disappear like that? It's was like you weren't even happy to see us.
They look at her like she's insane.
Agumon: What're you talking about, in case you hadn't noticed Mimi's gone nuts!
Palmon: Yeah? Palmon crosses her arms. Hmm. Hmm. Now that I think of it, she has kind of gone off the deep end, I mean even for her.
They all slouch and they're face become a bit blue; how could she not have noticed?
Tai: Oh uh…you noticed.
Gabumon: You're so observant.
She laughs and holds her forehead. They come up with a plan to trick Mimi into singing.
Tai, Matt, Sora, Agumon, Gabumon and Biyomon are sitting out on the balcony of Mimi's room with a tape recorder hooked up to a karaoke machine in her room.
Matt: So she'll be performing and won't even know it.
Tai: Yeah and we'll get the whole thing on tape.
Sora: Then we'll play it in front of Shogunmon and he'll wake up.
Agumon: This just might work.
Gabumon: Watch it.
Everyone quickly hides and stays out of site when Mimi comes into her room.
Mimi: What's this?
Palmon: It's a karaoke set.
Mimi: Yes I can see that but what's it doing in my royal chambers. Palmon nervously laughs and tries to feign innocence.
Palmon: I just love hearing you sing; I thought you might give us a private concert. Here. She offers the microphone and though she's suspicious Mimi takes it. Thanks, you're the greatest. Palmon starts the music and gets Mimi into the rhythm. Now feel the music, feel the music.
Everything is being recorded and going according to plan, causing Tai to smirk.
Matt: Tai is she falling for it?
Tai: Mm-hmm.
It was going perfectly and Mimi was about to sing until she notices the cord leading to the balcony.
Mimi: Huh? What's that cord for? Mimi spots Gabumon's foot and Biyomon's tail sticking out the door and a part of Matt and Agumon's heads, causing her to get vexed. I see.
Mimi screams into the mike and it shocked everyone so badly that they screamed, Tai being the loudest since he was wearing the headphones.
A few minutes later they're all thrown in jail by the Gekomon, even Palmon who's been stripped of her dress. Mimi has a look of glee on her face and stands in front of the cell.
Mimi: So you thought you could pull a fast one on Princess Mimi, did you?
Tai: That's Princess Meany!
Agumon: Yeah!
Matt: Who do you think you are, anyway?!
Sora: Don't you remember we're your friends?
Mimi tauntingly puts her finger on her chin.
Mimi: Well…I remember you tried to trick me.
Tai: We tried to trick you because we're trying to save you. Have you completely forgotten who you are?
Agumon: Have you completely forgotten it's not nice to lock up people in your dungeon, where's your manners?!
Sora: What happened to the Old Mimi, the one we were proud to call our friend? Sora is close to tears. Don't you even realize what you're doing to us?
Biyomon: And it's not just us, you promised you'd help the Gekomon and Otamamon!
Gabumon: Yeah but instead you take advantage of them and treat them like they're your slaves. Can't you see how much they want their lord back! If you keep making them suffer like this then things are not going to end well for you!
Mimi turns to the Gekomon who sweat drop and don't say word. The selfish princess scoffs and starts walking.
Tai: Wait!
Matt: What's happened to you Mimi!? Mimi halts and turns to Matt. This isn't you at all; we came all this way just to find you! What happened to the girl that was my friend, the person who spoke to me and offered to be my friend when we were little!? Tell me! Mimi doesn't respond and regards Matt coldly. That's it? You're not gonna say anything? Not single response, infuriating Matt even more. Fine…it's clear you have your heart set on this princess fantasy, so I HOPE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO YOU!
Mimi widens her eyes in shock and looks down in a little regret but she shrugs it off and proceeds to leave.
Palmon: Uh, before you go, I have something I want to tell you. She stops and frowns at her partner. Nobody likes you more than I do. Palmon begins to cry and her tone becomes teary. It hurts me deeply to have to say this but…you're a SPOILED BRAT! Tears fall from her eyes and Mimi gasps in shock. And when you act like this… More tears fall from her eyes. And I'm sincerely sorry to say this to you Mimi but…when you act like this Mimi I…I…I HATE YOU! (A/N: I just had to add that in.)
Mimi's eyes become even wider and tears well up in her eye before turning away from her partner.
Mimi: Is that a fact? She turns to Palmon in fury. Well it's nice to know how you feel! And just for the record I HATE YOU TOO!
Mimi walks away in a huff and Palmon sags in sadness, still crying over the loss of her partner and friend. The others can't help but stare at her in sorrow.
Later that night, Tai, Sora, Agumon, Gabumon and Biyomon are fast asleep in the dungeon but Matt is unable to do so; thinking about what Mimi has done while lying on the wall.
Matt: Mimi…
He hears Palmon crying behind him. He turns to see her hugging her knees. Matt can't help but feel sorry for her, the fact her partner hates her now has broken the plant Digimon's heart. He goes over to cheer up.
Matt: Palmon? Palmon are you alright? Come on, speak to me. Palmon doesn't say a word. Matt compassionately places a hand on her shoulder as if she were TK. Palmon it's okay? Everything will be alright? Palmon?
Palmon simply gets up and drops to the floor crying hysterically, completely deaf and blind to everything around her. Matt sadly looks at the scene in distress. Looking at Palmon cry like thiis reminds him of his little brother.
Matt: Palmon?
Palmon continues sobbing and Matt's expression suddenly fills with seriousness and determination. He finds a small shard of rock on the floor and gets his hands through one the gaps between the bars. He begins picking out on the lock.
Meanwhile Mimi is asleep in her bed having a bad dream.
(Nightmare)
Devimon and Etemon appear out of nowhere coming towards Mimi who gasps in fright. Just then the Gekomon and Otamamon appear as well. Mimi desperately turns to them for help.
Mimi: Hurry, stop them; I've got to have your help!
All: Sorry.
Mimi: She gasps and then becomes furious with their disobedience. Oh yeah! Well then I won't sing anymore!
The Gekomon and Otamamon don't care.
Gekomon: Big deal. You didn't sing even when we did what you wanted.
Gekomon 2: You're on your own.
They turn to leave and Mimi desperately reaches out to them.
Mimi: Wait, don't leave me! I'll sing for you, I promise!
Too late, they disappear. Etemon and Devimon get closer and Tai, Sora, Agumon, Gabumon, Biyomon and Palmon appear in front of her. She begs for their help.
Mimi: Oh…help me please!
Everyone begins to drift away except Palmon.
Tai: Sorry but we only help our friends.
Biyomon: Yeah you're not out friend.
Agumon: What's wrong Mimi?
Gabumon: Did you forget what you did to us?
Sora: What's the matter? I thought you were having the time of your life.
They disappear.
Mimi: Palmon.
Palmon: I hate you Mimi, goodbye.
Palmon disappears and Mimi tears up. Etemon and Devimon are getting closer and soon Matt appears, making Mimi desperate.
Mimi: Matt, please I need you, help me!
Matt: No Mimi…I won't…You're not the one I fell in love with…just a nothing to me now!
Matt drifts away and disappears, his words emotionally shatter Mimi as tears stream down her face. She tries to desperately run and reach out to Matt but he keeps drifting away and tears fly out from Mimi's eyes.
Mimi: No, Matt! Come back, don't leave me! I'm sorry, I'M SORRY! Come back!
Last minute apologies won't save her now because when she catches up and tries to grab Matt, he completely disappears and Mimi drops to the ground. Mimi lifts herself up and looks at her hands. She's shaking in fear and tears drop from her hands as the reality of her behaviour crashes down upon her.
Mimi: What have I done?
She gets up to see Etemon and Devimon close in for the kill and the nightmare ends with Mimi screaming in horror.
(End of Nightmare)
Mimi moans, crying and screaming in her sleep.
Mimi: Oh, won't anybody help me?! Please! Palmon…Matt! Don't leave me!
Matt: Hey. Hey. Hey Mimi. Mimi wakes up to see Matt standing by her bedside, having seen and heard her having a nightmare.
Mimi: Where am I? Is this a dream?
Matt: No it's real; I escaped from prison to convince you one last time until I saw and heard you screaming in your sleep. Do you have any idea what that nightmare was trying to tell you Mimi?
Mimi finally realizes what she's been doing and becomes ashamed of her actions.
Mimi: I'm sorry. Oh I really am.
Matt smiles.
Matt: Well then you know what you have to do to make things right?
Mimi: Yes. Mimi nods, understanding what she has to do.
Matt compassionately takes her hand.
Matt: Atta-girl. You're a good person Mimi, I knew you'd come back to us and I'm sure Palmon will be happy to see you've come back too.
In response to hearing Palmon's name, the Child of Sincerity thinks about the good times she's had with her partner and thinks back to how horribly she treated her.
(Flashback)
Mimi: She turns to Palmon in fury. Well it's nice to know how you really feel! And just for the record I HATE YOU TOO!
(End of Flashback)
Mimi: Mimi sniffles with tears in her eyes. What have I done…Palmon? Mimi outright hugs Matt and begins hysterically crying on his shoulder. Oh Matt! I'm sorry, I'M SORRY, I'M SO SORRY…FOR EVERYTHING! I really did wanna help the Gekomon and Ottamamon, but I just got so caught up in the princess thing and let it all get to my head! You and everyone risked everything to try and find me and I betrayed you! I'M SO SORRY! PLEASE FORGIVE ME! Don't leave me! I don't wanna be alone again!
Matt wells up with a bit of tears himself, happy to see the girl he fell in love with has returned to her senses.
Matt: It's alright Mimi, It's never too late to start over and make things right. I'm not gonna leave you this time. Mimi continues crying so loudly. It okay, let it all out!
Mimi continues crying uncontrollably but stops when a bright green glow shines from her chest. In response to the return of her sincere and pure heart, The Crest of Sincerity shines brightly much to their surprise.
Mimi: The Crest!?
Matt: It's glowing!
When it stops they exchange looks of surprise and then Mimi turns to her old clothes which are on a wooden chair.
The others are peacefully sleeping in their cell without Matt; even Palmon has finally managed to get some sleep after her emotional breakdown.
Gekomon: Alright, wake up!
They wake up and turn to see their door open with the Gekomon standing there.
Tai: What now?
Gekomon: The princess wants you.
Gabumon panics when he notices his partner's missing.
Gabumon: Wait, where's Matt!?
Tai: Huh?
Gekomon: We don't know; the door was left open for some reason.
They gasp in surprise.
Sora: He escaped, why didn't he tell us?
Agumon: You don't think he left the palace, do you?
Gabumon: Of course not; Matt would never leave us behind; he probably went to talk to Mimi one more time.
Gekomon 2: Actually I think I saw your friend inside the building Lord Shogunmon is in?
All: Huh?
The Gekomon escort them to the warehouse but they're nervous as to what they believe Mimi is going to do to them.
Biyomon: Why did Mimi call us here?
Tai: Is she gonna chop off our heads.
Sora: Don't even joke.
They go inside and see the entire warehouse filled with Gekomon and Otamamon and they complain about what difficult tasks Mimi has in store for them next. They spot Matt and meet up with him.
Gabumon: Matt!
Matt: He turns and is glad to see the others. Tai, Gabumon, you're all here!
They walk up to him.
Tai: Yeah but what're you doing here buddy?
Gabumon: And how come you escaped without telling us?
Matt: Matt feels a bit guilty. Sorry, but I wanted to try to speak to Mimi on my own this time.
Palmon: Did you get through to her?
Matt points to the stage.
Matt: See for yourself. It's showtime.
Mimi appears on stage in front of the microphone. They're stunned to see Mimi in her normal clothes again with the exception of Matt.
Digi-destined/Digimon (Except Matt): What's she up to?!
Mimi nervously walks up to the mic with a sad, guilty and ashamed expression but she speaks.
Mimi: First of all, there's something I have to say to everyone here. Tai, Sora…Matt. Agumon, Gabumon and Biyomon. Gekomon and Otamamon…Palmon. All of you have been so nice, I'M SO SORRY! Mimi bows her head apologetically, surprising everyone in the room and making them gasp except for Matt who merely smiles.
Gekomon: What's she saying!?
Mimi: I've been such a little idiot! If you can find it in your hearts to forgive me, and I don't know why you would, but if you can, then I'd be honoured to sing for you…one more time.
She lifts her head to show tears falling from her eyes and her face is red from crying. Everyone smiles, especially her friends and partner who're happy to see the their friend has returned.
Palmon: We forgive you.
Sora: I knew you'd find yourself Mimi.
Gekomon: Of course we do. Sing, Your Highness.
They all shout out words of encouragement and Mimi sniffles and wipes her tears away before giving a smile.
Mimi: Oh, thank you. Palmon gives the signal.
Palmon: Hit the lights and cue the music!
I wanna sing a song (the real one)
The room turns dark as the music starts up. It gets faster and louder and spot light shines down on Mimi as she begins singing.
I wanna sing a song
A song to bring Shogunmon around
When he hears my voice
I hope he likes the sound
He has to listen
Listen to my sincere heart. Shogunmon's tail starts moving.
I've learned that friends are friends even when they're apart. As she sang, the gang start dancing with delight, even Matt.
I've asked my friends to forgive me from the bottom of my heart. Stars appear in the Gekomon and Otamamon's eyes and they squeal with delight.
If it's my choice
His eyes will open wide. The gang continues dancing along.
And the Gekomon will be cheering
Cheering with pride- Mimi stops when Shogunmon wakes up and starts moving. He turns around and the digi-destined get a bit nervous.
Digimon Analyser (Agumon): Mimi, you did it. You're voice has woken up ShogunGekomon from his centuries of sleep but why do I feel like we've just made a horrible mistake?
The Gekomon and Otamamon are happy to have their master back but Shogunmon certainly isn't happy and looms above them threateningly.
Shogunmon: I was having such a nice sleep. Which one of you clowns woke me up or should I just squish all of ya.
He proceeds to stomp everyone in his sights and so everyone makes a run for it.
Gekomon: Women and Gentlemon first!
Shogunmon goes on rampage and everyone in the building comically run faster and faster with the exception of Biyomon who's flying.
Matt: And I thought I was cranky when I first wake up.
Gabumon: Give me the mean Mimi back any day!
Gekomon: Whose idea was this; remind me to never listen to him again!
Shogunmon: You wanna hear some singing?!
The ground will shake
When you hear the noise I make
'Cause I'm glad to be awake
YEAH! His horns blast out air that blew everyone but Mimi and Palmon out of the building. They scream as they fall towards the water. A huge splash occurs and Mimi screams when she sees some debris from roof coming right at her.
Palmon: Mimi!
Brave Heart
"Digimon!"
A light beams from her Digivice into the air and sparkles fall from above.
Palmon quickly spins in the Digi-zone.
Palmon: Palmon Digivolve to…Togemon!
(-)
Togemon punches the debris away before it hits Mimi.
Togemon: That was a close one.
Mimi faces her Digimon still feeling guilt and shame over the way she treated her.
Mimi: Togemon…I'm sorry, can you forgive me? Togemon smiles.
Togemon: Of course I can.
Mimi: Togemon…you're the best. Oh…Thank you, I love you so much. Mimi hugs her boxing glove and Togemon rubs her hair.
Togemon: I'm just glad that old Mimi's back and I love you too.
Mimi: Really you mean it? The look on her face says all she needs to know. Then let's take care of this out of tune goon. Mimi grabs a mic and angrily glares at Shogunmon. Hey you, how about some gratitude! Shogunmon turns his attention to her. I sang you out of your 300 year nap you wanna-be crooner!
Shogunmon: All that racket, it was you!
Mimi and Togemon step back in fear when he steps forward.
Mimi: Uh oh.
Togemon glares at Shogunmon with determination.
Togemon: I'll protect you Mimi! Needle Spray!
Togemon spins and unleashes a shower of needles but Shogunmon easily blocks them with his bare hands so she goes for a more direct approach.
Togemon: I'm sending you back to the swamplands you overgrown amphibian!
Togemon tackles him to the stage, destroying it and tries punching the tyrannical frog with all her might but she soon gets overpowered. Shogunmon lifts Togemon up and she frantically tries to free herself but soon she thrown to the floor, causing her to grunt in pain.
Mimi: Togemon!
Shogunmon: King's Jump!
Shogunmon jumps in the air and body slams Togemon, causing her to scream in pain. Mimi screams in horror.
…
Shogunmon: Frog Kick!
Shogunmon delivers a hard kick sending Togemon screaming through the air and crashing into the wall. She lies on the ground injured and fatigued. Mimi attempts to run over to her partner.
Mimi: Togemon, it's no use; he's too strong! We have to run before it's too late!
Togemon: Togemon talks in a injured tone. Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Just save yourself Mimi, I'll protect you no matter what.
Mimi stops in her tracks.
Mimi: Togemon…
Shogunmon grabs her hair.
Shogunmon: Protect this!
He begins ruthlessly pounding her to the ground back and forth much to Mimi's horror as he thinks about everything that's happened since she came to this castle. She looks down in guilt and sorrow as she remembers her selfishness, taking advantage of the Gekomon and Otamamon and the mistreatment of her friends and partner. Her eyes well up with tears and she clenches her fist just as Shogunmon prepares to finish off her partner.
Mimi: "This is all my fault. Even after I yelled at her, treated her horribly and threw her in prison Togemon is risking her life just to save me. And it isn't just her. Those poor Gekomon and Otamamon already had it bad before I came to this castle and I made their suffering even worse by acting like the biggest spoilt brat in history. Matt, Tai and Sora almost killed themselves just to look for me and even after I threw them out they still tried to bring me to my senses. And how do I repay them, by throwing them in jail. Now I've made it worse by waking up a musical disaster. Togemon…Matt…Everyone…I'm so sorry. The only thing I want to do now is to make it up to all of you and make this right."
She looks up into the air and a single tear drops from her eyes and drips onto Mimi's Crest of Sincerity. As a result of her honesty and sincerity the Crest of Sincerity shines brighter than it did in her bedroom much to her surprise.
Brave Heart
"Digimon!"
Mimi's Digivice vibrates rapidly and turns solid green. It shoots a beam of light that blasts through her tag and the Crest of Sincerity spirals into the air.
The Crest of Sincerity stops and explodes, beaming light down the Digi-zone and gives Togemon her newfound strength.
Togemon: Togemon Digivolve to…
Light blasts out from her eyes and a huge rose blooms from her hair, releasing millions of petals that occasionally cause fireworks. The rose sprouts and releases a fairy wearing a pink flower dress, 4 leaf wings and 2 green boots. She dances about before preparing for battle.
Lillymon!
(-)
Shogunmon: What!?
Shogunmon takes a step back in surprise at the sight of his new opponent who prepares to attack.
Lillymon: Flower Cannon!
Lillymon brings out a flower that opens up and cannon head sticks out. She blasts a green bolt of energy from the cannon. It was miniscule compared to Togemon's fist but the power it packed is much bigger because a direct hit causes Shogunmon to fall on his back. Mimi can't help but be amazed as she holds her vibrating green Digivice.
Mimi: Whoa! Who're you!?
Lillymon smiles at her partner.
Lillymon: It's just li'l old me.
Digimon Analyser (Lillymon): Or should I say li'l old us? I'm Palmon and Togemon too. This is just my Ultimate Level form, you can call me Lillymon.
Lillymon: So, be honest, how do I look?
Mimi warmly smiles at Lillymon.
Mimi: I think you look so beautiful, Lillymon.
Lillymon: Thanks.
Shogunmon: Come here, pretty girl! Shogunmon attempts to grab Lillymon but she mockingly evades him.
Lillymon: Whoopsie, you'll have to be a lot quicker that that!
Shogunmon accidentally slams his head into the wall and gets stuck. Lillymon takes her chance.
Lillymon: Vicious Vine! Lillymon whips out sharp, thorny vines from her wrist and whips the giant frog in the back, causing him to grunt in pain. He brings his head back in anger and attempts to grab Lillymon again but just like before she evades it and is now flying around Shogunmon. I'm right here big boy! Shogunmon turns but he's too late because Lillymon has already flown around him again and blasts her with Flower Cannon. No, I'm over here ugly! Come on, surely you can do better than that.
Mimi: Be careful!
Lillymon is currently leading him to the hole he created earlier.
Lillymon: Your honest and sincere desire to make things right and save us is what brought me to life. You're a good girl Mimi, even if you tend to get confused sometimes and I wanna cherish that pure heart of yours. Mimi is touched by her partners words.
Mimi: Lillymon…
Shogunmon punches her but she evades him again as she continues playfully mocking him.
Lillymon: Come on Shogunmon, are you actually fighting or playing?
Shogunmon: Oh, I'm playing alright, playing an Encore!
The atmosphere will shake
When you hear the noise I make
'Cause I'm glad to be awake
YEAH! (A/N: Brave Heart continues from "Nigetari…")
He blows powerful air from his horn and Lillymon was unable to avoid that. She screams in pain and is slammed into the wall above the hole before falling back to the floor, groaning. Mimi runs over to the flower child in concern.
Mimi: Lillymon! Lillymon gets onto her knees groaning a bit just as Mimi bends down to her. Lillymon, are you okay?
Lillymon smiles at the Child of Sincerity with a little strain in her voice.
Lillymon: I'm fine, don't worry Mimi, this is nothing compared to what I've been through 'till now.
Shogunmon: That won't be the case after what I do to you next!
Shogunmon approaches them, prompting Mimi to scream in fear just as Lillymon stands in front to protect. Blue flames stop the frog in his tracks. The duo of Sincerity looks outside to see Greymon, Garurumon and Birdramon along with everybody else on the beach, looking alive and well.
Shogunmon: Oh, have you come to play?
Shogunmon hops near the hole.
Greymon: Nova Blast!
Garurumon: Howling Blaster!
Birdramon: Meteor Wing!
Greymon, Garurumon and Birdramon launch their respective attacks.
Shogunmon: Now it's Showtime!
Now why'd you try that?
'Cause I'll knock you flat
And now you're gonna feel it
YEAH! (A/N: You know where it left off after this.)
He blows more air from his horn, cancelling out the attacks and blowing the 3 champion Digimon back on their backs. Tai, Matt and Sora are shocked by his raw power.
Tai: Did you see that?
Sora: He may be ugly, but he's stronger than we thought!
Matt: Yeah he gives new meaning to the term 'flat note'.
Greymon and Garurumon growl and get up.
Shogunmon: Watch out below! Shogunmon leaps out and attempts to body slam every one of them until Tai, Matt, Greymon and Garurumon save the day.
Ultimate Digivolution (Split Screen)
"Digimon!"
Tai and Matt's Digivices vibrate rapidly and turn solid orange and blue. They shoot out beams of light that blast through their tags and the Crest of Courage and Friendship spirals into the air. The Crest of Courage and Friendship stop and explode, beaming light down the Digi-zone and gives Greymon and Garurumon strength.
Greymon: Greymon…!
Garurumon: Garurumon…!
DIGIVOLVE TO…!
Greymon's left arm turns into a large metal claw, his brown head plate became covered in armour. The dinosaur sprouts bluish-purple wings, grows red hair and two armour plates cover his chest as well. At the same time Garurumon stands upright and gets an anthropomorphic build. A wears a belt across his waist and it goes across his upper body. He gains a glove with gold brass knuckles. The wolf's belt connects to his blue jeans and he gains spiky knee guards along with a few bandages. He punches the air with his other arm, releasing energy and does a couple of spin kicks. Both of them roar their name.
MetalGreymon! RAA!
WereGarurumon! He howls.
(-)
WereGarurumon rockets of MetalGreymon's armoured head enough to be above Shogunmon. He lands a powerful drop kick on his head stunning him and vines wrap around his belly, holding him in the air. They're from Lillymon who keeps the frog in the air with all her strength.
Lillymon: Now MetalGreymon!
MetalGreymon comes up and headbutts the giant frog away. He's sent flying back into the damaged building and Lillymon flies off with Mimi in her arms. Tai and Matt's orange and blue Digivices continues to vibrate like crazy.
Tai: Yeah, give it to him, MetalGreymon!
Matt: Finish this WereGarurumon!
Shogunmon lifts himself up in anger.
Shogunmon: You're not finishing anything! Birdramon screeches and grabs onto his horn, immobilising him and stopping him from using his Musical Fist. He frantically tries to escape. Let go of me you overgrown pigeon!
Sora: Nice one Birdramon!
Birdramon: Now's your chance everyone.
Lillymon flies up and prepares to attack.
Mimi: Get him Lillymon!
Lillymon: FLOWER…CANNON!
She brings out her flower gun and fires the strongest energy shot she can unleash. Birdramon flies away and Shogunmon screams as he is surrounded in green energy with petals swirling around him, paralyzing him. Lillymon turns to the other Ultimate Digimon.
Lillymon: Let him have it boys!
WereGarurumon: You heard the lady, Wolf Claw! WereGarurumon's claws glow with power and unleash an energy slash.
MetalGreymon: Giga Blaster! MetalGreymon opens up his body like last time and fires shark shaped missiles.
As hes engulfed in green energy, the energy slash strikes him in the stomach, causing him to flinch even more and the missiles go inside Shogunmon's horns. They explode, as does the entire building, burying him in a pile of rubble.
…
The sun comes up; Birdramon reverts to Biyomon but MetalGreymon, WereGarurumon and Lillymon degenerates to Koromon, Tsunomon, and Tanemon. They went to check the damage. Luckily for Shogunmon he isn't dead, just unconscious.
Mimi: He deserved to hear that last flat note, don't ya think?
All of them burst out laughing and soon Mimi does the same. Mimi soon turns to her friends with a guilty expression.
Mimi: Everyone…They all turn to Mimi who speaks sincerely. I'm so sorry, can you guys ever forgive me.
Tai, Koromon, Matt, Tsunomon, Sora, Biyomon and Tanemon all smile in forgiveness.
Matt: Who do you think we are? We're your friends remember.
Sora: That's right; of course we forgive you Mimi.
Tai: We aren't gonna hold anything against you Mimi; you just felt at home here, that's all.
Tears stream down Mimi's face.
Mimi: I guess but that doesn't excuse the way I acted. I acted like a complete brat and treated all of you so horribly. I don't deserve to have such wonderful friends like all of you, especially you Tanemon.
The others are touched and happy to see the old, pure, sincere Mimi come back.
Sora: Mimi…
Tanemon: Don't say that Mimi. It's like I said, you're a great girl; you just tend to get confused a lot. You're still my partner.
Sora: And you're still our friend Mimi, we could never stay mad at you.
Tai: And if it helps, Matt acted like a bit of brat when we found him.
Matt: Cool it Tai!
Mimi: Matt… Her crush turns to her.
Matt: Huh?
She smiles while crying out tears of joy.
Mimi: Thank you…for believing in me…and coming back for me even after everything I did. I'm just sorry I didn't see it sooner, you have to understand how much you mean to me.
Matt also can't help but give of a smiling expression.
Matt: How many times do I have to say it, if I say I forgive you, then I forgive you, it's that simple. Besides Mimi, I could never abandon you; you're just as important to me as I am to you.
Mimi: Matt…you're a true friend… More tears stream down her face and she hugs Matt who can't help but blush in shock and surprise. He calms down and returns the hug and they stay in a loving embrace. Tai, Agumon, Sora and Biyomon quietly swoon over the moment.
Sora: Aww! That's so sweet!
Tai: Glad to see that those two have patched things up.
Tanemon: Oh Mimi…
Tsunomon: Go get her Matt.
Matt and Mimi separate but they hold onto each other's hands while blushing.
Mimi: Matt…
Matt: Yeah Mimi…
Mimi: I wanna give you a thank you gift. Hold still.
Mimi grabs Matt's cheeks and pulls his face closer for a passionate kiss on his lips. After they separate, Matt was frozen like a statue in shock and his face was completely red. The only sound he could give off was a chocking sound and Mimi playfully smiles while blushing and with her hands behind her back. Tai, Sora and the Digimon (including Gekomon and Otamamon) have their mouths wide open in shock.
Sora: Did Mimi just…?
Koromon: Yep, she sure did!
Tsunomon: I did not see that coming!
They all go up to Matt. Tai waves his hand in front of his face.
Tai: Yoo-hoo, Matt, you in there buddy?
Sora smiles at Mimi.
Sora: I think you just broke him Mimi.
Mimi merely chuckles and Tai grins.
Tai: I hope DemiDevimon leaves us alone 'cause I don't think Matt will ever be able to get over that.
All of them except for Matt burst into laughter.
Tai: Well, ready to go, Mimi?
Mimi: Yeah, do you think I could take some of my princess clothes with me?
Tai: MIMI!
Mimi: Well, it just seems such a waste, the jewels at least?
Meanwhile, DemiDevimon is being punished and tortured for his most recent failure by Myotismon in his castle.
Myotismon: Didn't you say you knew what would happen if you failed?
DemiDevimon is being hung over a fireplace by his foot.
DemiDevimon: Well, when I said that I knew, I didn't really mean that I knew, knew. You know what I mean? But now that I do know if it's not too much trouble sir, could I bother you for a glass of water?!
To be continued…
(A/N: Please Review. Hope it was okay to bring in Lillymon now. and I hope Mimato is okay in your book.)
