Scene DISSOLVES to:
EXT. ABANDONED TRAINYARD (CONT'D) - SOUTHERN AREA
ANDROMON was guiding MIMI, RIKA, PALMON and RENAMON to an area with piles of discarded scrap metal.
RIKA:
Where are you taking us exactly?
ANDROMON:
Paitence.
RENAMON:
We are close from losing paitence.
MIMI:
Andromon knows what's he doing. You gotta trust him.
RIKA sighs. The group then stops in front of an abandoned warehouse.
ANDROMON:
Location found.
PALMON:
A warehouse?
ANDROMON:
Affirmative. This warehouse would provide us shelter aginst the machanical Digimon.
RIKA:
Are you crazy? Those mechancial Digimon would find us here and blow us up to smithereens!
ANDROMON:
Negative. There is more than meets the eye. *walks further*
MIMI and PALMON follow him. RIKA and RENMAON look at each other for a moment and conitnue following them into the warehouse.
INT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE - AISLE HALLWAY
ANDROMON activates his flashlight eyes to continue their path. The group walks through broken and rusted aisles till they stop at a pile of debris blocking their way.
RIKA:
*sarcastic* Great. A dead end.
ANDROMON pushes the debris aside to reveal a hole in the floor.
MIMI:
Whoa...
RENAMON:
A secret entrance?
ANDROMON:
No mechanical Digimon has ever looked under here.
PALMON:
Where does it lead to?
ANDROMON:
Salvation.
RIKA:
Salvation? What are you talking about?
ANDROMON:
I will show you. *enters the hole*
The group goes through the hole as ANDROMON seals the entrance.
INT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE - SECRET PATHWAY
ANDROMON guides the group through broken wires and scrap metal discarded on the ground. The group ventures deeper till they reach a steel door.
ANDROMON:
A moment, please.
RIKA:
*scoffs* Again?
ANDROMON knocks on the steel door. The flap peephole on the door opens with unknown character's eyes shown through the flap.
?:
Password?
ANDROMON:
Dataspace.
The peephole closes as the steel door opens wide.
?:
(off-screen) Proceed inside.
ANDROMON:
Friends, we have reached our destination.
ANDROMON and the group enters inside through the door.
INT. ABANDONED WAREHOUSE - HIDDEN SHELTER
The group enters scene. The shelter looks empty with piles of boxes and spare machine parts/scrap metal. MIMI and RIKA look around the shelter in confusion.
RIKA:
He's kidding, right?
RENAMON senses something from the shadows nearby.
RENAMON:
(A Digimon.) Look out!
MIMI and RIKA turn around as a Digimon lunges from the shadows towards them. RENAMON immediately dashes and kicks the Digimon into the wall. The Digimon reveals itself as SHADOWWEREGARURUMON.
MIMI:
What the-
RIKA:
I knew this was a trick!
ANDROMON:
*gestures to SHADOWWEREGARURUMON* Brother Digimon, stop! They are-
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
Intruders! Sic 'em, Doggymon!
ANDROMON:
Wait, stop-!
Another Digimon called DOGGYMON appears in a comically fashion and pulls two bombs out from its mouth. MIMI and RIKA look a tad nervous.
MIMI:
*scared* N-nice d-doggy?
DOGGYMON snickers as he throws the bombs at MIMI and RIKA. RENAMON then swifts to guard them.
RENAMON:
Diamond Storm! *summons and fires cloud of shards*
The attack destroys the bombs which comically smoldered DOGGYMON. DOGGYMON coughs off smoke as RENAMON kicks him down.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
*off-screen* You're mine!
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON was charging towards RENAMON.
RENAMON:
Want some more, big boy? *swifts*
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
Shadow Claw! *swipes claws with dark energy*
RENAMON flips and punches SHADOWWEREGARURUMON in the jaw. SHADOWWEREGARURUMON and RENAMON then exhange throwing and blocking punches and kicks.
RENAMON:
Give up!
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
Never!
ANDROMON:
*off-screen* Lightning Blade!
The energy blade suddenly hits SHADOWWEREGARURUMON and knocks him down.
MIMI:
Andromon?
ANDROMON:
Cease your violence, now!
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON gets up and was slightly puzzled.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
Hey! What gives, Metalhead?!
ANDROMON:
Brother Digimon, these humans have no intention to harm us. They are our friends.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
"Friends"? That fox girl almost *rubs chin* broke my jaw!
RIKA:
Well, your dog here almost hurt us with those bombs!
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
*snaps* He's my loyal companion!
RIKA:
Have you ever heard of putting a leash on him?!
ANDROMON:
Enough! *glares to SHADOWWEREGARURMON*
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
*growls; turns to RIKA for a moment and walks off* Come on, Doggymon.
DOGGYMON follows him. DOGGYMON blows a raspberry at RIKA but RENAMON glares at him. DOGGYMON got frightened and continues following him.
ANDROMON:
Please forgive him. His behavior is overactive.
PALMON:
Andromon, what is this place?
ANDROMON:
This is the secret shelter.
MIMI:
Secret shelter?
ANDROMON:
Affirmative. For you see, I have gathered various Digimon from different universes here as protection against the danger plaguing the area.
RIKA:
Like Wolf-mon and his dog?
ANDROMON:
Prescisely. Allow me to introduce you to the others.
ANDROMON guides the group to a small pile of garbage near a wall where two ROACHMON were arguing over it.
ROACHMON #1:
This is where I sleep!
ROACHMON #2:
No way! It's my sleeping spot!
ROACHMON #1:
I found it first!
ANDROMON:
*off-screen* Brother Digimon!
The two ROACHMON stop and turn to the group.
MIMI:
*holds her nose* Ew! They smell like rotten eggs.
ANDROMON:
Pardon their stench. These are the Roachmon brothers.
RIKA:
Brothers? *takes out D-3*
RIKA's D-3 scans their data.
RIKA:
*off-screen* Roachmon. These Insectoid Digimon mean business when they use their Garbage Dump and Year Sale Bomb attacks on their enemies.
ROACHMON BROTHER #1:
Hey, it's only when it's necessary.
ROACHMON BROTHER #2:
Don't mind my twin brother. He's being a show-off.
ANDROMON:
As you may observe, these two never stop quarrelling.
RIKA:
It almost makes me feel glad that I don't have a twin sister.
MIMI:
Unless you learn to get along.
ROACHMON BROTHER #1:
*ponders* Hey, that girl with the hat and Palmon look a little familiar.
ROACHMON BROTHER #2:
What are you talking about?
ROACHMON BROTHER #1:
They look like that older girl with the pink hair and Palmon we seen before.
ROACHMON BROTHER #2:
I think you imagined that.
ROACHMON BROTHER #1:
I did not!
ROACHMON BROTHER #2:
Did too!
ROACHMON BROTHER #1:
Did not!
ROACHMON BROTHER #2:
Did too!
The group looks annoyed as the ROACHMON BROTHERS continue arguing off-screen.
ANDROMON:
...Moving on.
ANDROMON guides the group away from the arguing brothers. ANDROMON directs them to a DATAMON tinkering with a little machinery.
ANDROMON:
Datamon, we have guests.
The DATAMON turns to the group.
DATAMON:
Oh, good. Do you have any spare parts to trade in?
RIKA:
Uh...no.
DATAMON:
*sarcastic* Well, that's dandy. I'm a couple parts away to completing our defensive weapon and we're going to be crushed by the machine Digimon. Thanks for the help.
PALMON:
Hey, weren't you the same Datamon that tried to create a clone of one of our friends?
DATAMON:
Cloning? That's not part of my job. My job is working and repairing machines at my trading post at the Autumn Leaf Fair.
RENAMON:
Autumn Leaf Fair?
ANDROMON:
This Datamon specializes well in machinery. His last invention was destroyed by the machine Digimon forces before I rescued him.
DATAMON (FRONTIER):
If I searched harder for the missing parts, we wouldn't be stuck in this shelter forever. *resumes tinkering*
ANDROMON:
Datamon is a loyal yet determined Digimon. He takes his work seriously.
MIMI suddenly felt something pulling her skirt.
MIMI:
Huh?
?:
(off-screen) Guess who?
MIMI turns around and sees SUKAMON and CHUUMON pulling her skirt.
CHUUMON:
What's shakin', gorgeous?
MIMI screams and immediately slaps them to the wall. Both were dizzy from the attack.
PALMON:
Sukamon and Chuumon?!
MIMI:
*disgusted* What are they doing here?
RIKA:
You know these Digimon?
MIMI:
*sighs* Yes.
PALMON:
It's a long story.
ANDROMON:
Through my honest knowledge...I have no idea of their purpose here.
SUKAMON and CHUUMON regained their senses.
SUKAMON:
We ended up in this trainyard after we escaped from File Island.
CHUUMON:
Until, those nasty Digimon kidnapped us.
SUKAMON:
We were so scared until the brave Andromon came and rescued us.
ANDROMON rolled his eyes. SUKAMON and CHUUMON stand in heroic poses.
SUKAMON:
His bravery inspred us.
CHUUMON:
So, Sukamon and I decided to join to become heroes just like him.
SUKAMON:
Plus, being heroes also attracts the ladies. *winks a few times*
MIMI and PALMON look disgusted. RENAMON appears in front of them and glares at SUKAMON & CHUUMON.
RENAMON:
If one of you touch her skirt again, I will personally re-arrange your faces.
RIKA:
*holds her D-3* She ain't kidding.
SUKAMON and CHUUMON nervously gulp and back off space between their distance.
What about...who were those two Digimon before?
RIKA scans SHADOWWEREGARURUMON and DOGGYMON their data from the distance with her D-3.
RIKA:
(off-screen) ShadowWereGarurumon. His behavior is more agressive compared to WereGarurumon. His Shadow Claw attack will slice his enemies instantly. And his mutt is Doggymon. He can stretch his elastic body and sets out traps like a bad cartoon character.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON and DOGGYMON ignore the group from the distance.
MIMI:
Boy, what a grouch.
RIKA:
But, there's one thing we wanna ask. Why are the Machine Digimon taking over the trainyard?
MIMI:
And why are they kidnapping Digimon like Trailmon?
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON growls upon mere mention of the last word.
MIMI:
What was that about?
ANDROMON:
I believe it's best not to mention the "T" word.
RIKA:
What, you mean "Trail-"?
ANDROMON gestures and RIKA stops in response.
ANDROMON:
Anyway, *clears throat* the reason there are Machine Digimon running amok is because this domain has been taken over by an oil refinery.
MIMI:
Oh, I heard of those... They, um...What do they do again?
RIKA:
Oil refineries are industrial factories that make oil and change them into fuel.
ANDROMON:
Affirmative. The oil refinery was specifically built in this trainyard because each of the tracks in this area open a portal to anywhere in the multiverse.
RENAMON:
Then, that means that the oil refinery is a fueling source for the Machine Digimon. They would then travel through each portal as an opportunity to spread their power and control over anywhere they choose.
ANDROMON:
Correct. Unfortunately, the factory was low on labor and protection. So, it sent out its pawns to search for scrap metal for their energy. They've also captured any Digimon that sets foot on their domain and use them for labor to increase their productiion.
MIMI:
That's awful.
RIKA:
It's also dangerous.
MIMI:
Huh?
RIKA:
Oil refinies tend to pollute the sky and air around it due to overuse of production.
MIMI:
I...don't follow.
RENAMON:
If there's so much work in the factory, it makes the air all dirty.
MIMI:
*gasps*
PALMON:
No wonder the sun wasn't shining out.
ANDROMON:
Some tried to escape this metallic imprisonment, but never made it out. I was one the few Digimon who managed to escape. I tried my best to rescue the other Digimon, but the factory's forces were overwhelming against me. Rumor has it that the pawns sent the escapees to the overlord of the factory to determine their fate. The decision was either to continue work or else...*puts a rusted can near his foot* this. *crushes can*
The group looked shocked in reaction.
PALMON:
Do you know who's in charge of the factory?
ANDROMON:
We have currently no confirmation on the overlord. Yet, my memory banks sense a presence about him that leads me to countless theories. Once the fuel is finished, the factory needed transportation in order to spread their power.
MIMI:
Oh...is that why Trailmon got-?
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON rapidly pounds on the wall in fustration.
PALMON:
Mimi!
MIMI:
Sorry. Slipped out.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
*fustrated* Why? Why?! They had no right to take my Trailmon! He's my pride and joy! They will pay! They will all pay!
ANDROMON:
Intervention!
DATAMON (Frontier), the ROACHMON BROTHERS and SUKAMON & CHUUMON try to hold SHADOWWEREGARURUMON away from the wall.
DATAMON (FROINTIER):
*overlapping* Calm down!
ROACHMON BROTHER #1:
*overlapping* I got this!
ROACHMON BROTHER #2:
*overlapping* No, I got this!
CHUUMON:
*overlapping* Is this part of our training?
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
*overlapping* Let...me go, you fools! Help me, you stupid dog!
DOGGYMON tries to pull SHADOWWEREGARURUMON closer but the force was stronger than him.
RIKA:
Why's he upset over a Trailmon?
ANDROMON:
The factory needed faster transportation since their armored trains wouldn't handle much speed. So, the Machine Digimon decided to capture Trailmon as part of their labor or else they will suffer the same fate. ShadowWereGarurumon's Trailmon was taken by the Machine Digimon. He tried to fight back for it but the forces were strong and he never refused to step down.
The others manage to calm SHADOWWEREGARURUMON down and let go of him.
ANDROMON:
Brother Digimon, I know the pain you are going through. But, your angry can't be the answer to anything.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON didn't answer and walks back to the corner with DOGGYMON.
MIMI:
You know, I actually feel sorry for him.
RIKA:
I don't know. I still don't trust him after the way he attacked us.
DATAMON (FRONTIER):
*while scattering for parts* Did we forget to mention that he is a Trailmon racer who cheats a lot?
A metal part was thrown off-screen and hits DATAMON (Frontier).
DATAMON (FRONTIER):
Hey! *rubs head*
MIMI:
I didn't know you could race with a Trailmon.
ANDROMON:
Oh, yes. But, this is not the subject of this matter. You now understand why I brought you four here. You are under protection till the opportunity comes.
PALMON:
But, we can't stay and hide here forever.
MIMI:
Yeah, our friend Trailmon and all the other Digimon are still in danger. They need our help.
RENAMON:
The Machine Digimon will find us before we find them.
RIKA:
Haven't you guys thought up any plans of strategy?
ROACHMON RBROTHER #1:
I tought up an idea where we would plug the chimney holes with garbage so the factory will explode.
ROACHMON BROTHER #2:
You idiot! That will hurt innocent lives.
ROACHMON BROTHER #1:
No, it won't!
ROACHMON BROTHER #2:
Yes, it will!
ROACHMON BROTHER #1:
No, it won't!
The ROACHMON BROTHERS continue arguing and fighting each other. SUKAMON and CHUUMON walk up with piece of paper.
SUKAMON:
We came up a brilliant strategy.
CHUUMON:
It's so brilliant, it's foolproof.
MIMI:
*slightly annoyed* We're listening.
SUKAMON:
*unfolds and reads paper* Okay, let's see. Um...oh, right! *clears throat* Datamon will built us a catapult...
DATAMON (FRONTIER):
*confused* ...Yeah?
CHUUMON:
*reads* ...that will launch us over to the refinery...
MIMI:
*confused* ...Right?
SUKAMON:
And we'll...
SUKAMON and CHUUMON take out rolls of toilet paper and eggs.
CHUUMON:
...T.P. and egg the factory till they give up and surrender!
SUKAMON and CHUUMON strike a "ta-da" pose. The pose pauses for a moment while the group glare coldy at them and turn away. SUKAMON and CHUUMON sighed in disappointment.
CHUUMON:
*slaps SUKAMON* I told you we should've graffitied the factory!
SUKAMON:
*rubs cheek* I thought that would impress Mimi.
DATAMON (FRONTIER):
*off-screen* I've got it!
DATAMON (Frontier) holds up an electric bazooka while the others look amazed.
DATAMON (FRONTIER):
Behold, my electro-bazooka! With this, we'll blast down the door and free the Digimon instantly! *aims at a bullseye poster on the wall* Allow me to demonstrate.
DATAMON (Frontier) charges the energy in the bazooka. Unfortunately, the energy was short circuiting the weapon as it explodes and breaks apart. The group looked shocked with DATAMON (Frontier) smoldered.
DATAMON (Frontier):
...Oh, well. Back to the drawing board. *resumes tinkering and finding parts*
ANDROMON looked completely disappointed and lays against a wall.
ANDROMON:
...It's pessimistic. We'll never seek the opportunity to strike. I shouldn't have escaped.
RIKA:
Hey, buck up. You can't just call it quits. We're here to help, right Mimi? *notices MIMI absent* Mimi?
RENAMON:
*points out* Rika.
RIKA turns to see MIMI and PALMON walking to SHADOWWEREGARURUMON and DOGGYMON.
RIKA:
*sarcastic* Oh, great.
DOGGYMON spots the two approaching as he growls at them. SHADOWWEREGARURUMON looks for a moment and turns back.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
What do you want?
PALMON:
We wanted to ask you a question.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
If this question involves Trailmon, count me out.
MIMI:
Please hear us out.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
Forget it, kid. Leave us alone.
PALMON:
But, you don't understand.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
No, I understand is that you two were mocking us because we lost our Trailmon. There's nothing we got against those junk-heads to get it back.
MIMI:
We would never make fun of you.
PALMON:
Yeah, our friends Rika and Renamon sometimes have a poor taste in judgement.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
Yeah, well tough toenails. Doggymon and I are now stuck here. We'll never find a way out of this nuthouse.
MIMI:
Andromon's just trying to help.
PALMON:
And besides, you're not the only ones with a Trailmon problem.
MIMI:
Ours was recently taken by the Machine Digimon but that doesn't mean we should immediately go after it.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
Speak for yourself. Trailmon are nothing but transportation. *pats DOGGYMON's head* We don't give a hoot about 'em.
MIMI:
But, Trailmon aren't just for riding.
PALMON:
Yeah, Trailmon are Digimon like you and me.
MIMI:
Have you ever cared once about your Trailmon?
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
Why would I do that? All Doggymon and I ever do was just ride it in the races so we could win.
MIMI:
Maybe it's because you never had a friend in your life.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
Who needs friends? I don't need anyone to comfort my emotions.
DOGGYMON tries to gesture his existence to SHADOWWEREGARURUMON.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
Not now!
DOGGYMON moans in disappointment.
PALMON:
You know what? I bet your Trailmon wanted to be taken because you don't treat it with respect.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
That's a lie! I treat my Trailmon well!
MIMI:
Then, have it ever talked back to you?
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
No, but-
PALMON:
Have it ever called you for help once when it was taken?
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
Of course, it-
DOGGYMON rubs the back of his head in embarrassment.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
Why are you doing that? I'm sure it-
DOGGYMON nods in silence.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
He never did? ...Not once?
DOGGYMON didn't reply. SHADOWWEREGARURUMON felt something and turns to MIMI and PALMON.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
I don't...understand. I thought we got along well.
PALMON:
Maybe, at first.
MIMI:
Your Trailmon treats you more as a friend than a rider. But, I guess you never did in return.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
I don't get it. What's this feeling? I feel...I feel...sad.
DOGGYMON starts crying in a comical fashion. SHADOWWEREGARURUMON slowly starts to shed a tear.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
Oh, come here, buddy.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON hugs DOGGYMON as they both start crying hysterically.
PALMON:
...Wow.
RIKA and RENAMON walk up to them.
RIKA:
What the heck happened?
MIMI:
I think we don't need to worry about his attitude any longer.
RIKA and RENAMON look a tad impressed. ANDROMON smiles in acknowledgement. DATAMON (FRONTIER) was then seen gathering parts of an old armored train.
ROACHMON BROTHER #1:
What are you doing, Datamon?
DATAMON (FRONTIER):
I felt like I needed a hobby. So, I collected these old train parts to see if I could make something out of it.
RIKA looked at the train parts for a moment.
SUKAMON:
Wow, I can't believe ShadowWereGarurumon didn't attack Mimi's sweet face.
CHUUMON:
I'm surprised she has some brains besides her beauty.
RIKA:
("Attack"..."surprise"...*gasps* That's it!) I got it.
ANDROMON:
Hmm?
MIMI:
Rika?
RIKA:
I know how we're going to enter the oil refinery.
DATAMON (FRONTIER):
What?! How?!
RIKA:
Have you ever heard of the story of the Trojan Horse?
The others looked puzzled.
MIMI:
...Is that a fairy tale?
RIKA:
No time to explain. Datamon, start building that armored train.
DATAMON (FRONTIER):
I don't know, it takes time with measurements and construction-
RIKA:
Just do it!
DATAMON starts building as RIKA turns to SUKAMON and CHUUMON.
SUKAMON:
Why are you looking us like that?
RIKA:
I can't believe I'm saying this but...you two actually thought up a brilliant idea.
MIMI & PALMON:
What?!
CHUUMON:
We did? Oh, I mean, we did.
SUKAMON:
Yeah, we did. I guess our T.P. and egg plan did come in handy.
RIKA:
*sarcastic* Right.
RENAMON:
Rika, what is the purpose of your strategy?
RIKA:
You'll soon find out.
As the everyone was prepping and following orders, camera PULLS AWAY to a small red mechanical eye camera hiding in the ROACHMON BROTHER's garbage pile.
Scene CUTS to:
INT. OIL REFINERY - OBSERVATION DECK
The camera's POV shot of the others were shown on the screen near the overlord hiding in the shadows.
?:
So, these urchins think they would outsmart my squadron. ...I guess it's time to flush them out.
