Episode 18: "A River Runs Through Tai."


On the roads of Okinawa, Tai, Sora, and the rest of the Warriors 11. Are going on a camping trip for only 3 days since Tai wanted to breath the air, also Flitmon wanted to catch some bugs for Yolei and Cody's daughter, Summer… They are in the van that Tai rented, and he was driving the van as well…

(Tai) "Ahh! Sweet air!"

(Sora) "You said that two times Tai."

(Tai) "I know but still, is this great?"

(Flamemon) "No is not."

(Talpidmon) "Why did you bring us here?"

(Tai) "Because, Haruka was having allergies..."

(Geopardmon) "How is that got to do with the camping trip?"

(Tai) "Yeah, we are planning to go together. But we don't want Haruka to suffer through her allergies here."

(Sora) "Exactly, why do we have to go here? We are from the city. We going to die!"

(Tai) "Don't be a grump Sora."

(Sora) "Am not! Am just upset that Haruka can't come."

(Tromon) "Me too, because camping sucks."

(Tai) "Don't worry. I'm upset that Haruka can't come too Because I have my multi tool!"

(Lamnimon) "Can it kill an eagle?"

(Tai) "Why on earth we should kill an eagle?"

(Lamnimon) "Because I did that for food when I first want camping after I left the Water Tribe..."

(Tai) "Right."

(Flitmon) "We are not killing eagles. I have this handbook that Summer gave me that can tells us what to do while on a camping trip."

(Sora, rolling her eyes) "Oh boy..."

(Flitmon) "We should go on a hike!"

Sora sigh...

(Flitmon) "Taking pictures with your mind!"

Tai sigh…

(Flitmon) "Or bird watching?"

(Sora) "We don't have to do any of those right Tai?"

(Tai, turning his eyes to Sora) "No."

They made it to the camp site. There was nobody else there, lots of trees, a lake and a open field. The Warriors 11 checked out the view of the mountain with Sora in the distance while Tai was getting the gear from his car ready.

(Talpidmon) "Nice mountain..."

(Flitmon) "Yeah, the view looks very nice here..."

(Tai) "Hay, a little help?"

Sora want to Tai and helped him with the gear, and they put all the gear on the table.

(Sora) "Tai! Where's the food?"

(Tai) "I didn't any. We can get our food by catching some fishes in the lake."

(Sora) "What! Are you kidding me!"

(Tai) "Everything we need is right here… Just the two humans and 11 Digimon can survive through this."

(Sora) "We are going to starve to death..."

Then Kumamon saw a RV with two campers who they are a couple.

(Kumamon) "Oh! look other there. There's two campers at the RV."

(Reflectmon, annoyed) "Great, and I thought we could go through the entire trip without using our hoodies for a disguise."

(Tai) "Alright. Sora, if you are still mad. I will let you grab a couple of things from the RV. If the two campers will let you."

(Sora) "That is what I wanted to hear… Come on 11s, let's introduce ourselves to our neighbors!"

(Strabimon) "Great."

Sora and the Warriors 11 want to talk to the two campers who they are a couple.

(Husband) "Hello! What brings you here?"

(Sora) "Just a little camping fun, right son?"

(Flamemon) "Yes, mom..."

(Wife) "Must be hard to take care of 11th children."

(Sora) "Oh no, dose are my son's friends."

(Husband) "Oh I see..."

(Geopardmon) "Can we barrow your stuff? Tai sucked at packing..."

(Husband) "Sure, everything you need..."

(Sora) "Thank you so much..."

A few hours later, everyone was eating some stuff that they got from the couple while Tai was cooking fish that he got from the lake.

(Geopardmon) "You sure, you don't want any?"

(Tai) "Is fine… Fish for me."

(Sora) "Do any one of you know how to survive in the woods?"

(Flamemon) "Of course, in the Digital World that is…"

(Lamnimon) "Yeah, is all thanks to this guide called Survivalist Guide. Don't Survive, Sur-thrive: Apocatips for the apocalypse."

(Sora) "Sweet!"

(Tai) "Yeah cool."

Another few hours later, The Warriors 11 gown to bed in their tents since it was already nightfall while Tai and Sora where drinking some wine that Sora got from the couple from the RV.

(Sora) "I think we might go through this whole camping trip."

(Tai) "Yeah… Also, I heard of a warm spring nearby, I thought we can skinny dip."

(Sora) "and that is why I wanted to come here as well. Let us do it!"

They headed to the warm spring where there is a river with rocks surrounding a couple of space where Tai and Sora will be in. As they already got there, Tai was preparing to take off their clothes until Sora falls on Tai and ended up in the warm spring.

(Sora) "Oh, sorry about that."

(Tai) "Don't worry is fine..."

But the rocks started to get lose having Tai and Sora to be drift off the rising water of the river. They are swimming like a dash of a bullet while they are trying to get out of this situation…

(Sora) "Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

Sora and Tai got suppurated and drifted off to the unknown… The next morning, Flamemon got out of his tent and yawn.

(Flamemon) "Boy! I can use some breakfast right now."

(Geopardmon) "Yeah me too."

The other Warriors woke up for breakfast. They are going to wake Tai and Sora up, but they are missing.

(Tromon) "Where are they?"

(Nachtmon) "Morning hike I think."

(Lamnimon) "Alright, we can check out the warm spring that Tai and Sore mentioned while we are sleeping."

They check out the warm spring, but they find Tai and Sora's shoe…

(Flamemon) "Oh no! Tai and Sora melted!"

(Geopardmon) "No, the warm spring was destroyed and then Whoosh..."

(Flitmon) "Oh my god! Tai and Sora must have drift of the lake while the water's rising."

(Flamemon) "What are we going to do!"

(Flitmon) "This handbook that Summer gave me will help us."

(Talpidmon) "What did it say?"

(Flitmon) "It says, wait here for personal fortnightly."

Then everyone begins to fell unhappy that they have to follow that.

(Geopardmon) "Can I see that?"

(Flitmon) "Sure."

Flitmon shows the handbook. But Geopardmon pulls off the page from the handbook and throws it at the river…

(Flitmon) "Hay!"

(Geopardmon) "We don't need that handbook. We are the Warriors 11, we have to save Tai and Sora."

(Flamemon) "Alright, we will build a raft and follow the river."

(Lamnimon) "Alright let's do it!"

Flamemon, Lamnimon, and Flitmon. Goes to the couple's RV to grab some things to survive in the wild. They make sure the couple was not there, and they took some stuff outside including the 3 tubing… As they got back to the rest of the others, they begin to build a raft and tie 3 pool tubes on it as well.

(Geopardmon) "All aboard lads!"

They all got on the raft and sail off to save Tai and Sora. Meanwhile, Tai woke up by the river. He was all wet and messy, he got up and search for Sora…

(Tai) "Sora!"

Then Tai saw Sora unconscious by the river.

(Tai) "Sora!"

Tai runs up to Sora and check her heart. Without a beat, Tai gives Sora a mouth to mouth. After a few blows through her mouth, then Sora wakes up with a lot of coughing.

(Tai) "Sora! Are you okay?"

(Sora) "I think so..."

They both got up and begin to walk around where they are… Then Sora begins to speak.

(Sora) "Alright, we need to follow the river back to the others."

(Tai) "Yeah..."

(Sora) "Alright, WE'RE COMING FOR YOU!"

Back with the Warriors 11.

(Geopardmon) "We're coming for you Tai and Sora!"

Then the singing begins to play…

[Flamemon]Okay, don't panic, Gotta find the legend in the forest, I'm not panicking So hey, I blew it, Told my dad I could handle this, but look what happening Had a few complications What a lesson in expectations In the forest, in nowhere, Let the legend down Unprepared, they are scared and fled I did not account for this, didn't count on this, I did not account for this No-oh-oh.

[Tai]In the bat's habitats, In the middle of the forest Wasn't fun, had to run, oh-oh I did not account for this, didn't count on this, I did not account for this No-oh-oh.

[Geopardmon]Looks like we are screwed This audit snuck us and it bit us in the worms but keep on rolling.

[Flitmon]The water's running fast, now we are gunning it to save our legends from all there meddling

[Everyone]Fighting with transportation to get the legends in the forest, what a pain, but our butts our on the line Take a look at our books and, no We did not account for this, did not count on this

[Lamnimon]How do worms amount to this?

[Geopardmon]Yeah, I do not know.

[Everyone]Out of hand, was not planned, but I will try to set it right Got a goal

[Tai] Hello, Sora?

[Sora] What!

[Everyone] I did not account for this, did not count on this, I did not account for this No-oh-oh.

[Sora]I saw their beady eyes and they had a secret plan and they wanted me to die, so I turn around and ran

[Tai]This should have been a cinch, I am a grown adult They should trust me in a pinch, but we are lost and it's my fault

[Tai]Why does everything has to be that hard? Should we talk about that?

[Sora]Let us not.

[Everyone]Gotta go, didn't know That my life would end tonight Hit a snag what a drag, oh-oh I did not account for this, didn't count on this, I did not account for this No-oh-oh.

[Tai]Stop! We need to rest!

[Everyone]I did not account for... This

Then the singing stops.

(Flitmon) "Hold on!"

Everyone holds on when the raft must go on a river balancing on the water. Back with Tai and Sora, Tai and Sora where feeling hungry. So, they must eat some bugs and worms in the area.

(Tai) "We're not doing this."

(Sora) "Yeah..."

(Tai) "WHY DO WE HAVE TO GO CAMPING!"

Somewhere, The Warriors 11 have parked their raft since they think Tai and Sora might be here…

(Flitmon) "Okay, with Summer's handbook. We can survive through this."

(Talpidmon) "No! That book is useless! Used this!"

Talpidmon gives Flitmon a book about animal wildlife in this area.

(Flitmon) "That would do."

(Flamemon) "Meanwhile, I will read the Survivalist Guide. Don't Survive, Sur-thrive: Apocatips for the apocalypse..."

Then Flamemon opens the guidebook.

(Flamemon) "It says here, don't wait until nightfall to build shelter."

(Tromon) "Make sense..."

(Flamemon) "Leave no trance, shave off your fingerprints."

(Geopardmon) "Yep."

Back with Tai and Sora, Tai was beginning to have some struggles by walking.

(Sora) "Come on Tai, you can do it. Before nightfall is coming."

(Tai) "You right. SECOND WIND!"

Then Tai falls to the ground.

(Tai) "Didn't work!"

(Sora) "Great, we are going to spend the night here again! SOMEBODY HELP US!"

Back with the Warriors 11, they set up camp with shelters they build. All thanks to the guidebook…

(Flamemon) "Alright shelters build, set up security with your buddies. Use spears as weapons."

(Flitmon) "That one's we crafted?"

(Strabimon) "Yep."

Lamnimon pour water all over herself to wash some mud and dirt.

(Lamnimon) "Ew..."

(Geopardmon) "Flame, you can shoot fire out of your hands."

(Flamemon) "I know, but I thought we can use survivalist weapons from the guide."

(Geopardmon) "Alright. I hope Tai and Sora where okay, is already nighttime..."

(Nachtmon) "Am sure they are fine brother..."

(KoRaimon) "They are former Digidestined's."

(Geopardmon) "Yeah..."

(Flitmon) "Guys look!"

They saw a campfire in the distance.

(Flamemon) "Is that Tai and Sora?"

(Geopardmon) "Am not sure, but I have some scary masks ready and some bow and arrow to good use, that I made with Tromon."

Everyone checks out the other campsite to find some girls scouts with their troop leader singing a campfire song while the Warriors 11 where watching in the bushes.

(Flitmon) "Oh is just a couple of kids."

(Tromon) "They seemed to be having fun."

(Flamemon) "We have enough food back at camp. We have to leave them alone."

(Geopardmon) "Yeah we don't want to scare some children also I think they might not see our campfire."

(Lamnimon) "Yeah let's get out of here..."

The Warriors 11 left the campsite without anyone noticing. The next morning, Tai and Sora woke up from the ground since they both sleep there last night.

(Sora) "I hate this forest."

(Tai) "Yeah, we need to get out of here. Flamemon and the others are probably looking for us right now."

(Sora) "Well they are the Warriors 11..."

(Tai) "True."

Then they hear something in the bushes.

(Sora) "What was that?"

In the Warriors 11 campsite, Geopardmon and the others woke up getting ready to continue searching for Tai and Sora.

(Strabimon) "Day one, and we still haven't found Tai and Sora."

(Flitmon) "We will find them soon. Also, I read the handbook that Talpidmon gave me and I found out that there is a pack of wolfs lived near here, also bears as well."

(Flamemon) "Shoot, that means Tai and Sora might get eaten by them."

(Geopardmon) "You mean the wolfs will team up with a bear?"

(Flamemon) "Yeah..."

(Geopardmon) "Why? They are not their kind to team up with a bear."

(Flamemon) "Is just something I came up with..."

(Geopardmon) "Alright, LET'S MOVE OUT!"

Back with Tai and Sora, they are going to check out the bushes since they hear a noise from it. Turns out it was just a fox who just runs away from Tai and Sora.

(Sora) "Oh is just a fox."

(Tai) "Yeah."

Then they hear a growl behind them. They look behind and saw a pack of wolfs ready to attack them.

(Tai) "Oh no."

They begin to scream when the Warriors 11 hears Tai and Sora screaming their lungs out.

(Geopardmon) "What was that!?"

(Flamemon) "Is Tai and Sora! They must be in trouble!"

(Tromon) "Let's move!"

Then they started dashing through the woods, and saw Tai and Sora getting attacked by wolfs. Strabimon rushes in to save Tai and Sora. As the wolf is going to attack Tai, Strabimon jumps in and grabs the wolf and kick him across the field having the wolf to knock on the ground.

(Tai) "Strabimon!"

(Strabimon) "Get out of here human!"

As Tai and Sora runs away from the fight then the others join Strabimon's fight with some spears they made, Flitmon was in the air with her wings on her back and a bow and arrow she made back at camp. Flamemon shoots flames from his fist to scare off the wolfs, but they jump through the fire to attack the group. Strabimon fights back with Lamnimon and Nachtmon. They all knocked out the wolf pack while the other wolfs retreats, until Flamemon knock the last one with a karate chop on his neck.

(Geopardmon) "Nice work."

(Flamemon) "Thanks."

They all saw Tai and Sora running towards the group.

(Flitmon) "Here they are?"

(Strabimon) "They looked panicked."

Because Tai and Sora have been chased by a bear.

(Strabimon) "Oh crap!"

Talpidmon uses his earth element to knock the bear over the gang and knocked to the ground.

(Sora) "Is it over?"

(Strabimon) "Not yet."

Strabimon get ready his fighting stance as the bear got up from the ground. Then Strabimon fights the bear all by himself. Then Strabimon ends the fight with a roundhouse kick and drops to the ground.

(Strabimon) "Now is over."

Then everyone got away from the scene. They finally back at the car where they first parked since the beginnning…

(Tai) "Thank you for saving us."

(Strabimon) "Is alright..."

(Flamemon) "We worried about you."

(Lamnimon) "Yeah, now am dirty."

(Sora) "And smelly."

(Flitmon) "Yeah."

(Tai) "I go and pack up our gear so we can leave this place."

(Sora) "Yeah I could use a long bath."

As Tai pack up the gear, the camper from the RV shows up and he was very angry.

(Husband) "Hay you!"

(Sora) "Oh hi sir..."

(Husband) "Don't hi me! Your son and his friends stole our stuff!"

(Flamemon) "We only done that to save my mom and my dad."

(Lamnimon) "Is not our fault that we made Tai and Sora to vanish in the woods for like 2 days."

(Geopardmon) "Yeah! We nearly died!"

(Husband) "I don't care!"

Then the camper pulls out a bug sprayer and points to Sora.

(Sora) "Woah! Calm down!"

(Husband) "I spent months preparing this trip with my wife!"

Then Strabimon grabs the bug sprayer from the camper.

(Strabimon) "Tell your wife we won't see you."

Then Strabimon breaks opens the bug sprayer having the camper to be surprised.

(Strabimon) "Don't forget."

Strabimon drops the destroyed bug sprayer. Everyone got inside the van and have Tai to drive off away from the campsite while the camper has his face shocked… They are driving home now, then Tai begins to speak…

(Tai) "When we get back, we are not telling anyone about what happened."

(Flamemon) "Deal."

(Flitmon) "Without the survival guidebook we might never find you."

(Sora) "That would explain a lot."

(Tai) "Yeah."

(Geopardmon) "Hay Tai..."

(Tai) "What is it?"

(Geopardmon) "How many showers in the house? We got a lot of people covered with dirt and mud."

(Tai) "Just 3."

(Geopardmon) "Alright."
