*****
Downtown Tokyo, on the roof of the Tarotama Building, above the Shinka Street Station
Palmon stops walking right at the edge. Floramon gives her the signal to throw just as
Kari refocuses her attention from the Digi-port to her perilous situation. It's too little,
too late, as Palmon extends her vines a full three feet away from the roof before quickly
pulling the vines out from underneath the detective. Kari screams, paralyzed with fear,
as she freefalls towards the ground, thirty-five stories below!
On ground level below, Agumon spotted something or someone falling from the side of
the building. In fact, everyone quickly notices the falling object is screaming. Agumon
recognizes that the figure is Kari and instantly runs towards where he thinks she might hit
the ground.
"Agumon!" yelled Gabumon. "Where are you going?"
"That's Officer Kamiya falling!" Agumon shouted back. "Get a net! Hurry!"
Gabumon looks around and notices that someone is holding a picnic blanket. With quick
reflexes, he runs over and snatches it.
"I'll bring it back!" Gabumon exclaimed as quickly ran over and joined Agumon. Two
other police officers were there with Agumon as Kari drew ever closer to the ground.
"What happened to the net?" Agumon asked.
"Make due!"
In the air, Kari stopped screaming just long enough to realize that the four figures below
were trying to catch her in the confines of what looked to be a picnic blanket. Not
confident that the blanket was going to be enough, she resumed her screaming.
With barely a second to spare, the four would-be rescuers get the blanket taut enough just
as Kari hits it, face first. The four pull hard to keep Kari from hitting the ground and
getting injured. They manage to succeed, but all four of them exhaust themselves in the
process. Right after they lower the blanket the last few inches to the ground, they all fall
back and collapse.
"Thanks for the assist, guys!" Kari replied, getting up and jumping out of the blanket.
"You're welcome," replied the foursome, breathing heavily.
Back on the roof of the Tarotama Building, Palmon and Floramon take note of their
failure.
"They managed to save her," Palmon said.
"And we were so close too," added Floramon, snapping her fingers.
"We've only got one option!" yelled Mimi, still holding the door to the stairs closed with
Catherine.
"What's that?" Catherine questioned back.
"We've got to go back to the Digiworld! On three, we'll let go of the door and make a
break for it."
Catherine nods as Palmon and Floramon start running over to the Digi-port.
"One!"
Suddenly, they hear a banging sound against the door. It seems that Matt is trying to ram
the door down. He puts all of his force into his left shoulder as he slams it into the door
again. Gatomon watches, with claws drawn, ready to get the drop on one of the bad guys
when the door opened.
"Two!"
Palmon, quickly realizing their dilemma, stops halfway between where she was and the
Digi-port.
"Poison Ivy!" she yelled, throwing her vines at Mimi and Catherine. But instead of
attacking them with the vines, she wraps her appendages around the two women.
"Three!" Mimi yells, as Palmon pulls her and Catherine away from the door. As she
does, Matt busts through the door, falling to the ground shoulder first. Without
hesitation, Gatomon runs past Matt and goes after Mimi and Catherine. Palmon doesn't
even wait for Mimi and Catherine to reach her. The plant type Digimon sprints towards
the Digi-port, where Floramon is about to jump in. After a quick recovery, Matt also
joins the chase.
At that exact moment in the Digiworld...
"Sora, can we talk about this?"
"Spiral Twister!"
Biyomon fired her Spiral Twister attack, but purposely aims it high... high enough that it
nips Tai's hair, causing a small fire to start. Tai promptly lies down and rolls his head in
the dirt to extinguish the fire.
"Next time," Sora began, "Biyomon will aim much lower."
"Much lower," Biyomon added, with an evil smirk on her beak.
"Is that necessary?" Joe asked, fearful for his life. "I'm very sensitive down there!"
As Biyomon watched Joe, ready to fire another round of her attack at a moment's notice,
Sora walked over to Tai, who was now breathing easier after the fire in his hair had been
put out.
"You know my hair gel has flammable elements!" Tai retorted. "I could've burned up in
a matter of seconds!"
Sora smiles as she puts her left foot on Tai's chest. She then begins to slowly press down
on that foot, causing Tai to wince in pain.
"How does it feel to be on the bottom for once?"
"To tell you the truth, the view's pretty good down here."
"You won't be enjoying the view once I crush your ribs in!"
"Look Sora, can't we talk about this?"
"The time for talk ended years ago! It's time to end your miserable life!"
But just as Sora begins to press down even harder, she hears a strange noise coming from
the beach. She glances that way and sees Floramon exiting the Digi-port. Floramon runs
away from the entrance as seconds later Palmon follows, with Mimi and Catherine still
entangled in her vines. And right behind them was Gatomon.

(Begin theme song)
The siren of an ambulance wails in the background. Younger versions of Tai and Kari
are standing with their father and a hundred other mourners, all dressed in black. A
gravestone marked with their family last name, Kamiya, is on it. Kari weeps openly into
her brother's arms as a coffin is slowly lowered into a hole in the ground and then
promptly buried in dirt.
Now in present time, Tai, dressed in a gray suit with matching pants along with a white
buttoned long sleeve shirt and plain orange tie, walks out of a police station. Kari is
walking next to him, wearing the same clothes as her older brother, with the exception of
a knee length skirt in place of pants.
Meanwhile, the title screen appears...

Kari dives into a small hole in the side of the building to avoid getting burned. In another
scene, Tai motions to punch someone in the face, but he misses.
As the song comes to an end, Tai and Kari stand in front of their mother's grave. Kari
sheds a tear as she places a bouquet of flowers next to the tombstone. Tai hugs his little
sister as he looks up to the sky, knowing that their mother is now in a better place.

Episode 3 - "Meet the Detectives Kamiya, Part 3"
As Sora saw Gatomon exit the Digi-port, she gasped in surprise.
"Who's that Digimon?" she shouted out, wondering what was going on. Tai decided to
take that moment of distraction to grab Sora's left leg and tug it down. The quick
movement catches Sora off guard, as she is thrown off of her feet. She falls onto the
ground as her back hits it first, followed by the back of her head.
Biyomon notices this and quickly turns her attention towards Tai.
"Spiral Twister!"
Biyomon fires at Tai, but the detective manages to move out of the way in time. As
Biyomon gets ready to fire another shot, Tai pulls Sora up from the ground and gets her
into a sitting position. He wraps his left arm tightly around Sora's neck while
simultaneously placing his right arm at the bottom of her shirt.
"Fire at me and your boss gets it!" Tai said in a threatening voice. "Or I'll choke her.
One or the other."
"Or you'll rape her," responded Biyomon.
"I'll do no such thing!"
"Then why is your hand down there?"
Tai quickly notes where his right hand is positioned. He blushes as he quickly moves it
to Sora's right arm and pulls that behind her back.
"Sorry. Force of habit."
Biyomon begins to ponder what to do next... until she notices Joe trying to crawl away.
"Hold it right there!" Biyomon yelled, turning in the direction where Joe was.
"Huh?" Joe said, stopping in his tracks.
"Let go of Sora right now, or the twenty year old geek in the glasses gets it!"
"Hey! I'm twenty-three!"
Tai sighs. "I know when I'm beat."
Biyomon watches as Tai reluctantly releases his grip on Sora. He stands up and moves
away from Sora.
"That's right. Just move away."
Biyomon prepares to strike Tai down when she is interrupted by a loud scream. She
looks out towards the beach and sees that there is a standoff between Palmon and
Floramon and Gatomon and Gomamon, who had recovered. Mimi and Catherine stand
off to the side, wondering what to do.
"I don't know who you are, but what are you doing here?"
"My name's Gomamon. I'm one of the good guys!"
"Can I trust you?"
"Well, I hope you can. Palmon and Floramon are as bad as a Digimon can be."
"Enough with the useless chatter!"
"Yeah! Are you two just going to stand there or are you going to fight?"
The two pairs continue to stare each other down, waiting for the other team to make a
mistake. Palmon and Floramon on one side, with Gatomon and Gomamon on the other.
"I thought we had that Gomamon in one of the cells!" Catherine exclaimed.
"It looks like he got out," Mimi noted truthfully.
While this was all going on, Joe manages to sneak out of the bushes and towards the
dueling Digimon. Catherine is the first to notice him.
"It looks like we found one of our escapees."
Joe stops dead in his tracks as Mimi and Catherine make their way over to him.
"What do you suppose we do with this troublemaker?" Catherine asked.
"Kill them, of course," Mimi replied. "But first, we'll have a little fun."
"Um, no thanks girls," Joe said, hearing Mimi's suggestion. "I think I've had enough fun
for the past two days."
"Spiral Twister!"
Biyomon comes flying in out of nowhere, aiming right at Joe. The attack connects,
sending Joe sprawling to the sand beneath him. He struggles to keep consciousness as
Biyomon, Mimi, and Catherine walk up to his temporarily disabled body.
At that exact moment, the two-on-two Digimon battle begins.
"Poison Ivy!" Palmon shouts, throwing her vines in the direction of Gomamon.
Gomamon is caught by surprise, as he is quickly encased within Palmon's thorny vines.
"Lightning Claw!" Gatomon yells, lunging at Floramon. Gatomon succeeds in cutting off
one of Floramon's roots, causing her to scream in pain.
"Ouch! That smarts!"
"It's supposed to! I'll squeeze you like a grape until the thorns penetrate your skin
enough for the poison to seep in!"
"You cut off my root!"
"What are you complaining about? It'll grow back. Like your leaves will... after I cut
'em off!"
The four Digimon continue to duel. In all of the confusion, no one seems to know that
Tai and Sora have been left alone at the edge of the forest. The two former lovers now
stand only a foot away from each other. But they weren't planning on making out. Each
of them were looking to take the other out.
"Who would've ever thought it would turn out this way?"
"Imagine that."
"Given different circumstances, we probably would have been married with kids by
now."
"True."
"Unfortunately, I had to pick you as a boyfriend."
"What can I say? I'm a ladies' man."
Tai straightens his clothes up as Sora stares him down.
"It's just you and me, Tai."
"Just the way I envisioned it."
Meanwhile, Matt emerges from the Digi-port. Unfortunately, he picks the wrong time to
do so, as Mimi karate chops him in the back of the neck. He falls to his knees, clutching
the spot where Mimi had hit him. But she wasn't done yet. She kicks him in the
stomach, making Matt gasp for air as he rolled over and now favored this new injured
spot.
"What a weakling you are!" Mimi exclaimed. "It's time to put you out of your misery."
*****
Mimi prepares to thrust her elbow into Matt's stomach in order to make him suffer even
more and hopefully crack his ribs in the process. All of a sudden, Kari comes flying out
of the Digi-port and right at Mimi! The two grown women hit the ground and start
rolling over each other as the two fought for control. Agumon and Gabumon pick that
moment to emerge from the Digi-port. Gabumon runs to Matt's side to check on him
while Agumon scouts the situation.
"Now, let's see. Kari's over there, fighting with that pink haired woman. Gatomon's
over there with all of those Digimon. But where's Tai?"
Where's Tai? Why, with Sora, of course! The duo is facing each other.
"You know, I'd never hit a lady."
"Isn't that sweet? Always looking out for the ladies, huh Tai?"
Sora approaches Tai and punches him in the stomach. Tai doubles over and falls to the
ground, clutching his stomach.
"But for you," Tai replied weakly, "I'd gladly make an exception."
"Stop overacting! I didn't even hit you that hard!"
"It felt like it to me!"
"Get up!"
Tai jumps up and gets back on his feet. He then grabs Sora by the shoulders and slams
her against a nearby tree.
"You're taking me for granted, Sora."
Sora raises her right leg and kicks Tai between the legs. Tai screams as he falls back and
clutches his crotch.
"That wasn't fair!"
"Who's taking whom for granted now?"
Meanwhile, Catherine had Joe over in the bay. They were both about a foot away from
shore, as Catherine dunks Joe's head into the water. After a few seconds, she pulls him
back up.
"Having fun?"
"Can I at least take off my glasses? It's hard to see with water in them."
Catherine takes Joe's glasses off of his face and throws them to shore.
"Better?"
"Merci beaucoup."
"I didn't know you could speak en français!"
"Doctors have to be ready to break the language barrier when it comes to saving lives."
"Isn't that sweet?"
Joe was beginning to think that Catherine was going to give him a reprieve. No such
luck, as she dunks his head back into the salt water bay.
"Noyez-vous, s'il vous plait!"
Joe comes back up for air. "I'll never drown!" he exclaimed between gasps for air.
"We'll see," she replies, pushing Joe's head back under.
Over with the battling Digimon, they seem to have reached a stalemate. All four
Digimon were exhausted and ready to collapse.
"Give up?" Gatomon asked Palmon and Floramon.
"You wish!" Floramon shouted back.
"Mimi and Catherine," Palmon said, "it's time for us to digivolve!"
"They seem to be preoccupied at the moment," Gomamon stated.
Sure enough, Catherine is still attempting to drown Joe, while Kari and Mimi are trying
to choke the other to death. Matt and Gabumon were trying to find a way to help Kari,
but they were enjoying the battle as well. That left Agumon, who seemed to be running
off towards the forest.
In the forest, Sora now has Tai pinned down. In fact, Sora is now sitting down on top of
Tai's chest. She has her legs wrapped around his arms so that they can't move, while her
arms are wrapped around Tai's neck.
"It looks like I've won the battle!" Sora stated triumphantly.
"It's not over until I have the girl screaming for me," Tai smirked, as he pushed Sora off
of him and forced her to the ground. He positions himself right on top of her. "And if I
were you, I'd be screaming for help right now."
"That's the way it's going to be?" Sora asked, no longer wanting to look at Tai's face.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"That's what I didn't like the most about our relationship. You were a control freak!
You always wanted to be the one to call the shots!"
"I was not! Did I ever resist whenever you wanted to take me on one of your stupid
shopping sprees?"
"Yes! Hundreds of times! Everything was always about you! You wanted so much of
me! And when I didn't give it to you, you found someone else to fill the gap!"
"That's a lie! You were the only girl for me!"
"You still use that line? You've been untrustworthy since the day you slept with that
slut, Catherine! I bet you've said the same line to every woman you've screwed!"
"Catherine is not a slut!"
"Shows how much you know! How long did it take for you to get her in the sack after
you got her purse back? I bet it wasn't very long, was it?"
"That's none of your damn business! I'm a bachelor and I'm proud of it!"
"She changed you, Tai! Can't you see that? Before, it used to be the two of us.
Nowadays, it's you and anything around you that has a skirt. I bet you even fantasize
about your own sister!"
"Now where in the hell did you get that idea? I may be perverted, but I'm not desperate
enough to do that! Wait... that didn't come out right."
"I even bet you're looking at me right now and wondering when I'll shut up so we can
get it on!"
"So what if I am? That doesn't mean I'm actually going to."
"So if you're not going to do me here and now, why don't you just take me into
custody?"
"Because I want to ask you a few questions!"
"Such as?"
"Well, if you hate Catherine so much for what you think she did to me, why is she one of
your partners in crime?"
"Because there was a caper I was planning that I couldn't do alone."
"A caper? What kind of caper?"
"There's this giant jewel that's on display at the Grand Odaiba Museum. It's the one
called the 'Green Lantern.'"
"You mean that giant emerald that's almost as big as me?"
"Give or take a few inches, yeah."
"It takes five or six people just to lift that thing! And the three of you are going to steal it
all by yourselves?"
"The three of us and our Digimon!"
Tai smirks. "You'll never pull it off."
"What?"
"If it's just you three and those three small Digimon of yours, I say that you're fighting
for a lost cause."
"You don't know what you're talking about!"
"Hey, I was at the museum the day the emerald was moved in! The movers were all
pretty muscular and they were struggling to keep it from dropping on the ground. I doubt
the six of you would be able to carry it out. And even if you somehow did manage to do
so, it's not like anyone wouldn't notice three women and three Digimon stealing the
world's largest emerald!"
"We could've gotten help!"
"I suppose that it is possible... especially since you three would do anything for a man."
"Just what are you implying?"
"Do I have to spell it out?"
"We'd never go that far!"
Tai gave Sora that all-knowing look. Sora bit her lip and sighed.
"Okay, Mimi definitely would. Catherine probably would too, given enough incentive."
"And?"
Sora stared at Tai with her mouth wide open. "I'd never do that!"
"Oh, come on! Admit it! You'd do it in a heartbeat!"
Sora tried to hide the fact that she was blushing. But Tai pointed it out right away.
"Ha! I knew it!"
"So? Some sacrifices have to be made. But Tai, you don't understand! After this heist,
we'll be the queenpins of crime! There'll be no criminal in Tokyo better than us!"
"You know I can't let that happen."
"Of course. You have a job to do."
Tai nods in agreement.
"And so do I."
Using all her weight, Sora rolls back and pushes Tai off of her. Tai flips over and lands
hard on his back. Sora quickly gets to her feet and runs to the beach. Tai gets up and
rubs his head.
"Geese... Sora's been working out!"
"Tai!"
Tai looks and sees Agumon look at Sora for a second before coming over to him.
"Are you okay, Tai?"
"I'm fine, Agumon. Come on... we've got work to do."
Tai quickly gathers himself and follows Sora onto the beach, where the battle continues.
Agumon follows without hesitation.
*****
Out on the beach, several small scuffles continued. Off to one side, Agumon and
Biyomon were firing their respective attacks off at each other, with neither of them
succeeding in downing their opponent. Palmon, Floramon, Gatomon, and Gomamon,
whom were all battling earlier, seem to be too tired to continue fighting. Joe was
hanging on for dear life as Catherine dunked his head in the water once again. And on
the shoreline, Matt and Gabumon continue to sit and watch as Mimi and Kari tried to
settle their problems.
"This is for trying to kill me!" Kari yelled, slapping Mimi across her face.
"And this is for interfering with our plans!" Mimi said, returning the favor with a slap
across the face of her own.
"And this is for trying to kill me a second time!" Kari responded, this time pulling on
Mimi's hair.
"Ow! And this is for ruining my perm!" Mimi retorted, now pulling Kari's hair.
The two had been going back and forth like this for several minutes... and Matt was
enjoying every minute of it.
"Their acting isn't worth an Academy Award, but there's nothing wrong with two chicks
fighting it out."
"Shouldn't we help Kari out?" Gabumon suggested.
"Naaa," Matt replied. "Besides, a man never tries to get in the middle of a fight between
two women. That's how you get hurt."
"I bet you're just waiting for them to start tearing each other's clothes off!"
Matt angrily grabs Gabumon by the fur and starts to shake him. "Have you been reading
my file?"
"Well, how else was I supposed to learn about you? We didn't had time for a formal
introduction last night!"
"You expected me to say hello to you while I was in the middle of a dream?"
"The way you were moaning last night, it must have been a very exciting dream."
"Gabumon! That's private information!"
All of a sudden, Tai runs by Matt and Gabumon and heads over to Mimi and Kari.
Agumon is right behind him.
"Tai," Matt shouted, "wait a second! They're fighting!"
"I know!" Tai yelled back. "I'm going to stop them!"
"You're crazy!"
"Kari! Mimi! Stop throwing sand in each others' faces!"
The two women turn towards the approaching Tai.
"But we weren't throwing sand," Kari noted... until Mimi scooped up some sand with her
free hand and threw it into Kari's face.
"Ahhhh! I can't see!" Kari screamed, as she stumbled around. Mimi is laughing as Kari
finally finds the water and starts to wash the sand out.
"Ha ha ha! Who's the best? I am!"
"That's not very nice!" Agumon said to her.
"Oh? And what are you going to do about it?"
Agumon turns around and begins to dig into the sand, throwing it all behind him... and
right into Mimi's face.
"My eyes!" Mimi screamed. "The sand burns in my eyes!"
Mimi stumbles around, just like Kari, until she too finds the water and joins Tai's brother
in getting the sand out of her eyes.
"Agumon! You know better than to do that to a beautiful woman like Mimi!"
"I'm sorry, Tai. It sounded like a good idea at the time."
"And I'm proud of you for doing it," Tai said, patting Agumon on the head. "In her case,
we can make an exception."
"Good going, Tai," Matt stated sarcastically. "She's probably going to be angry when
her eyes are clean."
"Yeah? So?"
"I guess you didn't see her karate chop me in the back of the head earlier."
"She did that? Man, you're such a weakling!"
"You want to be put back on mall security duty?"
"No."
"Then shut up!"
Kari finally washed the last of the sand from her eyes and made her way back to Tai,
Matt, Agumon, and Gabumon. She was pretty sore about the whole ordeal.
"You just had to suggest throwing sand, didn't you?" came the inquiry from Kari.
"I really thought you had done that already!" Tai responded.
"They probably did all but throw sand, Tai," Matt noted, adding a hearty laugh.
"This is a fine mess we've got here," Sora said, walking up to the trio.
"Huh?" Tai asked.
Sora pointed to the aforementioned four dueling Digimon, who were now panting heavily
on the ground. Biyomon is checking up on all of them.
"They all seem to be hungry. I think it's time we ate."
Everyone suddenly hears a stomach grumbling. They all turn to the source of the noise...
Tai's stomach. He laughs.
"I guess we're all hungry."
"We'd better get some food," Matt said.
"Did someone mention food?"
The four humans jumped back as Mimi, happy as can be, was standing right in front of
them.
"Mimi," came the nervous laugh from Tai, "aren't you angry?"
"Not right now," she replied. "Let's eat first and then I'll discuss it."
"Remind me to make sure I finish my food before she does," Agumon whispers to Tai.
"I don't want to think what she'll do to me."
"What about me?" Tai yelled at his Digimon. "I'm the one who suggested throwing sand
in the first place!"
After about half an hour, the five humans and seven Digimon were gathered around a pile
of wood that they had gathered.
"Pepper Breath!" Agumon said, setting the pieces of wood on fire.
"Wow!" Tai shouted. "I have to remember to bring you on my next camping trip!"
"But why did we set up this fire if we have nothing to eat?" Sora asked.
"Beats me," Mimi said, shrugging her shoulders.
"Leave that to me," Gomamon said, using the last of his energy to make a special call to
the sea. "Marching Fishes!"
A small school of fish of all different colors come flying out of the water.
"Wow Gomamon!" Gatomon shouted, happy to see all of the free fish. "You're a
lifesaver!"
"Those aren't for you!" Gomamon cried out. "They're for me!"
"That is wrong on so many levels!" Agumon exclaimed.
"What are you talking about? They're not real, for crying out loud!"
About two dozen fish piled up onto the beach next to Gomamon. Everyone was holding
their nose as the smell of dried fish quickly spread across the beach.
"Eeewww!" Mimi cried. "They smell real to me. We have to eat those stinky things?"
"They'll smell much better after they've been fried," Matt said as he picked up a spare
wooden stick, attached a fish to one end, and then placed the other end in the sand, right
next to the fire.
Everyone else went over to do the same thing... until Kari stops Tai from doing so.
"Did you wash your hands?" Kari asked her big brother.
"Wash my hands?" Tai asked back.
"Yes. You had sex. Did you wash your hands after you were done?"
"Kari, I was kidnapped! Do you think I had time to go to the restroom?"
"Better safe than sorry!"
"What part about 'I was kidnapped right after I had sex' do you not understand, Kari?"
Tai shouted.
"Can we just move on?" Mimi whined. "I think we all know Tai slept with Catherine by
now."
"Not until Tai washes his hands!" Kari reiterated, pointing towards the bay.
Tai grumbles as he shuffles down to the water to clean his dirty hands.
"Speaking of that slut," Sora began, "why isn't she here?"
The group looks further down the beach and into the water... where Catherine is still
trying to drown Joe.
"Do you think we should call them over?" Matt asked.
"I'm sure they'll be fine," Mimi replied with a smile. "They'll come over if they're
hungry."
"I guess," Kari added hesitantly.
"Kari," Tai said as he returned with his clean hands, "those two are having a little love
spat. Let them resolve it themselves."
"They're in love?" Sora said, jumping in.
"I don't think so," Matt answered. "I think Catherine's just trying to drown Joe."
"Um... shouldn't Joe be already dead after all that drowning?" Kari wondered.
"I guess so," Tai said. "They have been at it for quite a while.
"Maybe Catherine hasn't noticed that Joe's already dead," Mimi stated.
"I don't think so," Sora replied. "It still looks like Joe's moving."
"We'll figure it out later," Tai noted. "Let's just eat."
The seven Digimon were watching this whole exchange and are confused by it all.
"Humans can be so weird sometimes," Floramon said.
"I agree," Agumon said.
"They can't be as weird as Gomamon," Gatomon noted.
"Hey!" Gomamon shouted. "A Digimon's gotta eat too!"
"Yep!" Palmon exclaimed. "It's a Digimon eat Digimon world!"
"Hell, if we were wild Digimon, we'd probably be eating each other right now!"
"Good one, Gabumon!" Biyomon giggled, as the others quickly joined her.
*****
After a good meal, the group split back into their respective factions. Sora, Mimi,
Biyomon, Palmon, and Floramon were all on one side of the beach. Tai, Kari, Matt,
Agumon, Gatomon, Gabumon, and Gomamon were on the other side.
"So, where were we?" Sora asked.
"I believe we were getting ready for an all-out Digimon battle," Tai replied.
"Four on three?" Mimi noted. "I don't think that's fair."
"You're right," Matt said. "Gabumon and I will not fight."
"Wow!" Gabumon smiled. "You're so honorable, Matt."
"No, I'm not. I just want to punish you for opening that big mouth of yours!"
"Three on three!" Kari shouted. "Happy?"
"Very much," Mimi replied. "Oh, and remind me to kill Tai and Agumon after this."
"Only if you promise to leave them in one piece!"
"Kari! Whose side are you on anyway?"
"Are you ready?" Sora asked.
"Let's battle!" Kari answered.
"I'm with you!" Tai added.
"Destroy them!"
"Can't we do it later?" Mimi pleaded, pulling out a nail file out of nowhere. "It's time
for me to do my nails!"
"I said destroy them!" Sora repeated, growling angrily at her teammate.
"Oh," Mimi squeaked, not wanting to get Sora any angrier. Turning to Palmon, she says,
"Take care of them, will ya Palmon?"
Agumon, Gatomon, Gomamon, Biyomon, Palmon, and Floramon all get into a fistfight.
Each of them are firing off their respective attacks at each other.
"Now Mimi, you can do your nails."
"Thanks Sora!"
"Pepper Breath!"
"Spiral Twister!"
"Lightning Claw!"
"Poison Ivy!"
"Marching Fishes!"
"Allergy Shower!"
All of the Digimon except Floramon stop dead in their tracks.
"Allergy Shower?" Tai queried. "What kind of attack is that? Does it give you
allergies?"
"I'll show you what Allergy Shower does!" Floramon shouts as she fires of her attack.
She aims it over Agumon, Gatomon, and Gabumon. The attack quickly begins to take
effect.
"I can't move!" Agumon shouted.
"Me neither!" Gatomon exclaimed, reluctantly.
"Is it just me or is the sand melting?" added Gomamon.
"My Allergy Shower attack lowers the will power of any enemy Digimon," Floramon
stated. "Those who are affected by it will no longer possess the will to fight! Now that
you no longer doubt my powers, you must bow before me!"
"Um, Floramon?" Biyomon said, interrupting Floramon's speech.
Floramon glances towards her comrades... only to find that they can't move either.
"Your aim needs some work!" Palmon noted.
Floramon sweatdrops as Agumon, Gatomon, Gabumon, Biyomon, and Palmon begin to
lose their energy. Eventually, they all drop to the ground and fall asleep.
"Okay, who honestly thought the battle would end this way?" Tai asked. Nobody raised
their hand. "I didn't think so."
"It looks like the battle is over," Sora said.
"And we win!" Mimi exclaimed, jumping up and down. "Yeah!"
"Not so fast!" Tai shouted. "We still have one more Digimon!"
"That's right," Matt said, glancing at Gabumon.
"But I thought you didn't want me to fight. It's my punishment."
"I can punish you later. Right now, stopping them is more important then reprimanding
you."
"Thanks Matt! You won't regret this!"
"Don't go soft on me! Just take care of Floramon!"
"Got it!"
So, it has come down to this. Floramon vs. Gabumon. The end result of this case
depended on the outcome of this battle. Who would win? Good or evil?
"Come on!" Matt yelled. "It's all up to you, Gabumon!"
"Floramon, you'd better not lose!" Mimi shouted.
"Start the battle already!" Tai whined. "I wanna go home!"
"Gladly," Floramon said, jumping into the air. "I'll make this quick and painless.
Allergy Shower!"
Floramon fires off her Allergy Shower, but Gabumon dodges it. Floramon is irate.
"Hey! You weren't supposed to dodge that!"
"Blue Blaster!" shouts Gabumon, firing at Floramon.
"Wait! I wasn't rea..."
The attack hits Floramon, sending her hard into the sand. She is knocked unconsciously
immediately.
"That's impossible!" Mimi said, disappointed. "We were supposed to win!"
"Give it up, Mimi!" Tai shouted. "You too, Sora!"
"Um, Tai..." Kari began, "where's Sora?"
Tai, Matt, Mimi, and Gabumon look around and see that Sora is gone.
"She must have run off during the battle!" Matt said, stating the obvious.
"That's just like Sora to leave me by myself!" Mimi exclaimed. "But it's not over yet! I
still have my trump card!"
"Trump card?" Matt asked, gasping in fear.
"What is she talking about?" Tai asked with the same reaction.
"I'm ready to take out anything you can dish out!" Gabumon adds.
"This is a Digivice!" Mimi states proudly, reaching into her shirt and pulling something
out of it. "This gives me the power to allow my Digimon to digivolve! When Palmon
digivolves into Togemon, her champion stage, she'll bury Gabumon in the sand! Aha ha
ha ha ha!"
"Mimi, I've got two questions for ya." Tai began. "One, where do you find room to put a
Digivice in your shirt?"
"That's none of your business!" Mimi blushed, instinctively covering up her chest.
"And two, unless that Digivice is very small or is invisible, I don't see it."
"Huh?" Mimi blinked. She looked at her hand and sees that it is empty.
"Hey! Where's my Digivice!"
"Is this what you're looking for?" Kari said, pulling a Digivice with the symbol of
Sincerity engraved on the back of it out of her shirt.
"Kari! How did you..."
"Easy, Tai. I snatched it from her during our little scuffle. You think I was fighting with
her just to please you guys?"
"You could've fooled me," Matt says, scratching his head nervously.
"That's not what I was going to ask you," Tai said. "I was going to ask you how you fit it
in your shirt without it sticking out."
Kari takes the Digivice and hits Tai on the top of his head with it.
"You never learn, do you?"
Matt pulls out a pair of handcuffs and attaches them to Mimi's wrists.
"It looks like your life as a criminal is over."
"Is there anyway I can get time off for good behavior? I do have a honest job, by the
way. And my boss will be real ticked off if I don't show up for work."
"I'm sure we can think of some excuse to tell him."
A few minutes later, a troop of police officers are leading Mimi, Biyomon, Palmon, and
Floramon into the Digi-port and back to the real world. Agumon, Gabumon, Gomamon,
and Gatomon follows the group out to keep an eye on the Digimon, leaving Tai, Kari,
and Matt on the Digiworld beach.
"That's another case solved!" Kari exclaimed.
"Yep," Tai said, stretching his hands out. "Now if we can only solve the fourteen cases
waiting on our desks, then we're all set for our vacation."
"Let's finish those first, you two. Then we'll talk vacation."
"Yes, Matt. Sometimes I wonder why I even took this job."
"I don't know where Tai would be today if I wasn't with him," Kari smirked.
"Say what?" Tai asked in surprise. "You wouldn't be here without me! You can't drive,
remember?"
"Only because I'm nineteen! I could drive if I wanted too!"
"But that would be illegal!"
"Technically speaking, that's the only thing that's keeping me from driving!"
As the two siblings continue to argue, Matt can only smile and shake his head.
"Siblings. Always destined to bicker about anything and everything. But after it's all
said and done, they'll be closer than ever."
All of a sudden, Matt spots Catherine walking on shore, with Joe's right arm draped over
her shoulder as she drags him in. Joe's still alive, but barely. Tai and Kari also stop their
argument and notice the exhausted duo.
"I give up," Catherine panted, collapsing on the beach. "This guy's impossible to
drown."
"You just didn't know how to do it right," Joe replied, also panting heavily.
"I don't believe it," Kari said.
"Me neither," Tai added.
"Let's just take her into custody," Matt sighed, pulling out another pair of handcuffs and
placing them on Catherine's wrists. Matt then escorts her towards the Digi-port. Tai and
Kari follow him out, having Joe support himself with their shoulders.
"Let's go home and relax!" Tai exclaimed.
"I second that motion!" Kari said, agreeing with her brother.
With that, the trio heads off into the Digi-port and back to the real world.
"I wonder what happened to Sora," Tai wondered, as the Digi-port closes behind him.
Little did he know that a pair of eyes were watching the trio from the forest. A pair of
brown eyes. After blinking a few times, the eyes disappear into the woods, never to be
seen again.
Or are they?

*****
Downtown Tokyo, on the roof of the Tarotama Building, above the Shinka Street Station
Palmon stops walking right at the edge. Floramon gives her the signal to throw just as
Kari refocuses her attention from the Digi-port to her perilous situation. It's too little,
too late, as Palmon extends her vines a full three feet away from the roof before quickly
pulling the vines out from underneath the detective. Kari screams, paralyzed with fear,
as she freefalls towards the ground, thirty-five stories below!
On ground level below, Agumon spotted something or someone falling from the side of
the building. In fact, everyone quickly notices the falling object is screaming. Agumon
recognizes that the figure is Kari and instantly runs towards where he thinks she might hit
the ground.
"Agumon!" yelled Gabumon. "Where are you going?"
"That's Officer Kamiya falling!" Agumon shouted back. "Get a net! Hurry!"
Gabumon looks around and notices that someone is holding a picnic blanket. With quick
reflexes, he runs over and snatches it.
"I'll bring it back!" Gabumon exclaimed as quickly ran over and joined Agumon. Two
other police officers were there with Agumon as Kari drew ever closer to the ground.
"What happened to the net?" Agumon asked.
"Make due!"
In the air, Kari stopped screaming just long enough to realize that the four figures below
were trying to catch her in the confines of what looked to be a picnic blanket. Not
confident that the blanket was going to be enough, she resumed her screaming.
With barely a second to spare, the four would-be rescuers get the blanket taut enough just
as Kari hits it, face first. The four pull hard to keep Kari from hitting the ground and
getting injured. They manage to succeed, but all four of them exhaust themselves in the
process. Right after they lower the blanket the last few inches to the ground, they all fall
back and collapse.
"Thanks for the assist, guys!" Kari replied, getting up and jumping out of the blanket.
"You're welcome," replied the foursome, breathing heavily.
Back on the roof of the Tarotama Building, Palmon and Floramon take note of their
failure.
"They managed to save her," Palmon said.
"And we were so close too," added Floramon, snapping her fingers.
"We've only got one option!" yelled Mimi, still holding the door to the stairs closed with
Catherine.
"What's that?" Catherine questioned back.
"We've got to go back to the Digiworld! On three, we'll let go of the door and make a
break for it."
Catherine nods as Palmon and Floramon start running over to the Digi-port.
"One!"
Suddenly, they hear a banging sound against the door. It seems that Matt is trying to ram
the door down. He puts all of his force into his left shoulder as he slams it into the door
again. Gatomon watches, with claws drawn, ready to get the drop on one of the bad guys
when the door opened.
"Two!"
Palmon, quickly realizing their dilemma, stops halfway between where she was and the
Digi-port.
"Poison Ivy!" she yelled, throwing her vines at Mimi and Catherine. But instead of
attacking them with the vines, she wraps her appendages around the two women.
"Three!" Mimi yells, as Palmon pulls her and Catherine away from the door. As she
does, Matt busts through the door, falling to the ground shoulder first. Without
hesitation, Gatomon runs past Matt and goes after Mimi and Catherine. Palmon doesn't
even wait for Mimi and Catherine to reach her. The plant type Digimon sprints towards
the Digi-port, where Floramon is about to jump in. After a quick recovery, Matt also
joins the chase.
At that exact moment in the Digiworld...
"Sora, can we talk about this?"
"Spiral Twister!"
Biyomon fired her Spiral Twister attack, but purposely aims it high... high enough that it
nips Tai's hair, causing a small fire to start. Tai promptly lies down and rolls his head in
the dirt to extinguish the fire.
"Next time," Sora began, "Biyomon will aim much lower."
"Much lower," Biyomon added, with an evil smirk on her beak.
"Is that necessary?" Joe asked, fearful for his life. "I'm very sensitive down there!"
As Biyomon watched Joe, ready to fire another round of her attack at a moment's notice,
Sora walked over to Tai, who was now breathing easier after the fire in his hair had been
put out.
"You know my hair gel has flammable elements!" Tai retorted. "I could've burned up in
a matter of seconds!"
Sora smiles as she puts her left foot on Tai's chest. She then begins to slowly press down
on that foot, causing Tai to wince in pain.
"How does it feel to be on the bottom for once?"
"To tell you the truth, the view's pretty good down here."
"You won't be enjoying the view once I crush your ribs in!"
"Look Sora, can't we talk about this?"
"The time for talk ended years ago! It's time to end your miserable life!"
But just as Sora begins to press down even harder, she hears a strange noise coming from
the beach. She glances that way and sees Floramon exiting the Digi-port. Floramon runs
away from the entrance as seconds later Palmon follows, with Mimi and Catherine still
entangled in her vines. And right behind them was Gatomon.
*****
(Begin theme song)
The siren of an ambulance wails in the background. Younger versions of Tai and Kari
are standing with their father and a hundred other mourners, all dressed in black. A
gravestone marked with their family last name, Kamiya, is on it. Kari weeps openly into
her brother's arms as a coffin is slowly lowered into a hole in the ground and then
promptly buried in dirt.
Now in present time, Tai, dressed in a gray suit with matching pants along with a white
buttoned long sleeve shirt and plain orange tie, walks out of a police station. Kari is
walking next to him, wearing the same clothes as her older brother, with the exception of
a knee length skirt in place of pants.
Meanwhile, the title screen appears...
"The Detectives Kamiya"

Tai smiles goofily while lying in bed as he reminisces about an old girlfriend.
Kari Kamiya...
Kari walks through the police station as she flips through some papers in a folder.

it.
Fanfic Written and Edited by Freedom Fighter...
Kari dives into a small hole in the side of the building to avoid getting burned. In another
scene, Tai motions to punch someone in the face, but he misses.
As the song comes to an end, Tai and Kari stand in front of their mother's grave. Kari
sheds a tear as she places a bouquet of flowers next to the tombstone. Tai hugs his little
sister as he looks up to the sky, knowing that their mother is now in a better place.
(End theme song)

Episode 3 - "Meet the Detectives Kamiya, Part 3"
As Sora saw Gatomon exit the Digi-port, she gasped in surprise.
"Who's that Digimon?" she shouted out, wondering what was going on. Tai decided to
take that moment of distraction to grab Sora's left leg and tug it down. The quick
movement catches Sora off guard, as she is thrown off of her feet. She falls onto the
ground as her back hits it first, followed by the back of her head.
Biyomon notices this and quickly turns her attention towards Tai.
"Spiral Twister!"
Biyomon fires at Tai, but the detective manages to move out of the way in time. As
Biyomon gets ready to fire another shot, Tai pulls Sora up from the ground and gets her
into a sitting position. He wraps his left arm tightly around Sora's neck while
simultaneously placing his right arm at the bottom of her shirt.
"Fire at me and your boss gets it!" Tai said in a threatening voice. "Or I'll choke her.
One or the other."
"Or you'll rape her," responded Biyomon.
"I'll do no such thing!"
"Then why is your hand down there?"
Tai quickly notes where his right hand is positioned. He blushes as he quickly moves it
to Sora's right arm and pulls that behind her back.
"Sorry. Force of habit."
Biyomon begins to ponder what to do next... until she notices Joe trying to crawl away.
"Hold it right there!" Biyomon yelled, turning in the direction where Joe was.
"Huh?" Joe said, stopping in his tracks.
"Let go of Sora right now, or the twenty year old geek in the glasses gets it!"
"Hey! I'm twenty-three!"
Tai sighs. "I know when I'm beat."
Biyomon watches as Tai reluctantly releases his grip on Sora. He stands up and moves
away from Sora.
"That's right. Just move away."
Biyomon prepares to strike Tai down when she is interrupted by a loud scream. She
looks out towards the beach and sees that there is a standoff between Palmon and
Floramon and Gatomon and Gomamon, who had recovered. Mimi and Catherine stand
off to the side, wondering what to do.
"I don't know who you are, but what are you doing here?"
"My name's Gomamon. I'm one of the good guys!"
"Can I trust you?"
"Well, I hope you can. Palmon and Floramon are as bad as a Digimon can be."
"Enough with the useless chatter!"
"Yeah! Are you two just going to stand there or are you going to fight?"
The two pairs continue to stare each other down, waiting for the other team to make a
mistake. Palmon and Floramon on one side, with Gatomon and Gomamon on the other.
"I thought we had that Gomamon in one of the cells!" Catherine exclaimed.
"It looks like he got out," Mimi noted truthfully.
While this was all going on, Joe manages to sneak out of the bushes and towards the
dueling Digimon. Catherine is the first to notice him.
"It looks like we found one of our escapees."
Joe stops dead in his tracks as Mimi and Catherine make their way over to him.
"What do you suppose we do with this troublemaker?" Catherine asked.
"Kill them, of course," Mimi replied. "But first, we'll have a little fun."
"Um, no thanks girls," Joe said, hearing Mimi's suggestion. "I think I've had enough fun
for the past two days."
"Spiral Twister!"
Biyomon comes flying in out of nowhere, aiming right at Joe. The attack connects,
sending Joe sprawling to the sand beneath him. He struggles to keep consciousness as
Biyomon, Mimi, and Catherine walk up to his temporarily disabled body.
At that exact moment, the two-on-two Digimon battle begins.
"Poison Ivy!" Palmon shouts, throwing her vines in the direction of Gomamon.
Gomamon is caught by surprise, as he is quickly encased within Palmon's thorny vines.
"Lightning Claw!" Gatomon yells, lunging at Floramon. Gatomon succeeds in cutting off
one of Floramon's roots, causing her to scream in pain.
"Ouch! That smarts!"
"It's supposed to! I'll squeeze you like a grape until the thorns penetrate your skin
enough for the poison to seep in!"
"You cut off my root!"
"What are you complaining about? It'll grow back. Like your leaves will... after I cut
'em off!"
The four Digimon continue to duel. In all of the confusion, no one seems to know that
Tai and Sora have been left alone at the edge of the forest. The two former lovers now
stand only a foot away from each other. But they weren't planning on making out. Each
of them were looking to take the other out.
"Who would've ever thought it would turn out this way?"
"Imagine that."
"Given different circumstances, we probably would have been married with kids by
now."
"True."
"Unfortunately, I had to pick you as a boyfriend."
"What can I say? I'm a ladies' man."
Tai straightens his clothes up as Sora stares him down.
"It's just you and me, Tai."
"Just the way I envisioned it."
Meanwhile, Matt emerges from the Digi-port. Unfortunately, he picks the wrong time to
do so, as Mimi karate chops him in the back of the neck. He falls to his knees, clutching
the spot where Mimi had hit him. But she wasn't done yet. She kicks him in the
stomach, making Matt gasp for air as he rolled over and now favored this new injured
spot.
"What a weakling you are!" Mimi exclaimed. "It's time to put you out of your misery."
*****
Mimi prepares to thrust her elbow into Matt's stomach in order to make him suffer even
more and hopefully crack his ribs in the process. All of a sudden, Kari comes flying out
of the Digi-port and right at Mimi! The two grown women hit the ground and start
rolling over each other as the two fought for control. Agumon and Gabumon pick that
moment to emerge from the Digi-port. Gabumon runs to Matt's side to check on him
while Agumon scouts the situation.
"Now, let's see. Kari's over there, fighting with that pink haired woman. Gatomon's
over there with all of those Digimon. But where's Tai?"
Where's Tai? Why, with Sora, of course! The duo is facing each other.
"You know, I'd never hit a lady."
"Isn't that sweet? Always looking out for the ladies, huh Tai?"
Sora approaches Tai and punches him in the stomach. Tai doubles over and falls to the
ground, clutching his stomach.
"But for you," Tai replied weakly, "I'd gladly make an exception."
"Stop overacting! I didn't even hit you that hard!"
"It felt like it to me!"
"Get up!"
Tai jumps up and gets back on his feet. He then grabs Sora by the shoulders and slams
her against a nearby tree.
"You're taking me for granted, Sora."
Sora raises her right leg and kicks Tai between the legs. Tai screams as he falls back and
clutches his crotch.
"That wasn't fair!"
"Who's taking whom for granted now?"
Meanwhile, Catherine had Joe over in the bay. They were both about a foot away from
shore, as Catherine dunks Joe's head into the water. After a few seconds, she pulls him
back up.
"Having fun?"
"Can I at least take off my glasses? It's hard to see with water in them."
Catherine takes Joe's glasses off of his face and throws them to shore.
"Better?"
"Merci beaucoup."
"I didn't know you could speak en français!"
"Doctors have to be ready to break the language barrier when it comes to saving lives."
"Isn't that sweet?"
Joe was beginning to think that Catherine was going to give him a reprieve. No such
luck, as she dunks his head back into the salt water bay.
"Noyez-vous, s'il vous plait!"
Joe comes back up for air. "I'll never drown!" he exclaimed between gasps for air.
"We'll see," she replies, pushing Joe's head back under.
Over with the battling Digimon, they seem to have reached a stalemate. All four
Digimon were exhausted and ready to collapse.
"Give up?" Gatomon asked Palmon and Floramon.
"You wish!" Floramon shouted back.
"Mimi and Catherine," Palmon said, "it's time for us to digivolve!"
"They seem to be preoccupied at the moment," Gomamon stated.
Sure enough, Catherine is still attempting to drown Joe, while Kari and Mimi are trying
to choke the other to death. Matt and Gabumon were trying to find a way to help Kari,
but they were enjoying the battle as well. That left Agumon, who seemed to be running
off towards the forest.
In the forest, Sora now has Tai pinned down. In fact, Sora is now sitting down on top of
Tai's chest. She has her legs wrapped around his arms so that they can't move, while her
arms are wrapped around Tai's neck.
"It looks like I've won the battle!" Sora stated triumphantly.
"It's not over until I have the girl screaming for me," Tai smirked, as he pushed Sora off
of him and forced her to the ground. He positions himself right on top of her. "And if I
were you, I'd be screaming for help right now."
"That's the way it's going to be?" Sora asked, no longer wanting to look at Tai's face.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"That's what I didn't like the most about our relationship. You were a control freak!
You always wanted to be the one to call the shots!"
"I was not! Did I ever resist whenever you wanted to take me on one of your stupid
shopping sprees?"
"Yes! Hundreds of times! Everything was always about you! You wanted so much of
me! And when I didn't give it to you, you found someone else to fill the gap!"
"That's a lie! You were the only girl for me!"
"You still use that line? You've been untrustworthy since the day you slept with that
slut, Catherine! I bet you've said the same line to every woman you've screwed!"
"Catherine is not a slut!"
"Shows how much you know! How long did it take for you to get her in the sack after
you got her purse back? I bet it wasn't very long, was it?"
"That's none of your damn business! I'm a bachelor and I'm proud of it!"
"She changed you, Tai! Can't you see that? Before, it used to be the two of us.
Nowadays, it's you and anything around you that has a skirt. I bet you even fantasize
about your own sister!"
"Now where in the hell did you get that idea? I may be perverted, but I'm not desperate
enough to do that! Wait... that didn't come out right."
"I even bet you're looking at me right now and wondering when I'll shut up so we can
get it on!"
"So what if I am? That doesn't mean I'm actually going to."
"So if you're not going to do me here and now, why don't you just take me into
custody?"
"Because I want to ask you a few questions!"
"Such as?"
"Well, if you hate Catherine so much for what you think she did to me, why is she one of
your partners in crime?"
"Because there was a caper I was planning that I couldn't do alone."
"A caper? What kind of caper?"
"There's this giant jewel that's on display at the Grand Odaiba Museum. It's the one
called the 'Green Lantern.'"
"You mean that giant emerald that's almost as big as me?"
"Give or take a few inches, yeah."
"It takes five or six people just to lift that thing! And the three of you are going to steal it
all by yourselves?"
"The three of us and our Digimon!"
Tai smirks. "You'll never pull it off."
"What?"
"If it's just you three and those three small Digimon of yours, I say that you're fighting
for a lost cause."
"You don't know what you're talking about!"
"Hey, I was at the museum the day the emerald was moved in! The movers were all
pretty muscular and they were struggling to keep it from dropping on the ground. I doubt
the six of you would be able to carry it out. And even if you somehow did manage to do
so, it's not like anyone wouldn't notice three women and three Digimon stealing the
world's largest emerald!"
"We could've gotten help!"
"I suppose that it is possible... especially since you three would do anything for a man."
"Just what are you implying?"
"Do I have to spell it out?"
"We'd never go that far!"
Tai gave Sora that all-knowing look. Sora bit her lip and sighed.
"Okay, Mimi definitely would. Catherine probably would too, given enough incentive."
"And?"
Sora stared at Tai with her mouth wide open. "I'd never do that!"
"Oh, come on! Admit it! You'd do it in a heartbeat!"
Sora tried to hide the fact that she was blushing. But Tai pointed it out right away.
"Ha! I knew it!"
"So? Some sacrifices have to be made. But Tai, you don't understand! After this heist,
we'll be the queenpins of crime! There'll be no criminal in Tokyo better than us!"
"You know I can't let that happen."
"Of course. You have a job to do."
Tai nods in agreement.
"And so do I."
Using all her weight, Sora rolls back and pushes Tai off of her. Tai flips over and lands
hard on his back. Sora quickly gets to her feet and runs to the beach. Tai gets up and
rubs his head.
"Geese... Sora's been working out!"
"Tai!"
Tai looks and sees Agumon look at Sora for a second before coming over to him.
"Are you okay, Tai?"
"I'm fine, Agumon. Come on... we've got work to do."
Tai quickly gathers himself and follows Sora onto the beach, where the battle continues.
Agumon follows without hesitation.
*****
Out on the beach, several small scuffles continued. Off to one side, Agumon and
Biyomon were firing their respective attacks off at each other, with neither of them
succeeding in downing their opponent. Palmon, Floramon, Gatomon, and Gomamon,
whom were all battling earlier, seem to be too tired to continue fighting. Joe was
hanging on for dear life as Catherine dunked his head in the water once again. And on
the shoreline, Matt and Gabumon continue to sit and watch as Mimi and Kari tried to
settle their problems.
"This is for trying to kill me!" Kari yelled, slapping Mimi across her face.
"And this is for interfering with our plans!" Mimi said, returning the favor with a slap
across the face of her own.
"And this is for trying to kill me a second time!" Kari responded, this time pulling on
Mimi's hair.
"Ow! And this is for ruining my perm!" Mimi retorted, now pulling Kari's hair.
The two had been going back and forth like this for several minutes... and Matt was
enjoying every minute of it.
"Their acting isn't worth an Academy Award, but there's nothing wrong with two chicks
fighting it out."
"Shouldn't we help Kari out?" Gabumon suggested.
"Naaa," Matt replied. "Besides, a man never tries to get in the middle of a fight between
two women. That's how you get hurt."
"I bet you're just waiting for them to start tearing each other's clothes off!"
Matt angrily grabs Gabumon by the fur and starts to shake him. "Have you been reading
my file?"
"Well, how else was I supposed to learn about you? We didn't had time for a formal
introduction last night!"
"You expected me to say hello to you while I was in the middle of a dream?"
"The way you were moaning last night, it must have been a very exciting dream."
"Gabumon! That's private information!"
All of a sudden, Tai runs by Matt and Gabumon and heads over to Mimi and Kari.
Agumon is right behind him.
"Tai," Matt shouted, "wait a second! They're fighting!"
"I know!" Tai yelled back. "I'm going to stop them!"
"You're crazy!"
"Kari! Mimi! Stop throwing sand in each others' faces!"
The two women turn towards the approaching Tai.
"But we weren't throwing sand," Kari noted... until Mimi scooped up some sand with her
free hand and threw it into Kari's face.
"Ahhhh! I can't see!" Kari screamed, as she stumbled around. Mimi is laughing as Kari
finally finds the water and starts to wash the sand out.
"Ha ha ha! Who's the best? I am!"
"That's not very nice!" Agumon said to her.
"Oh? And what are you going to do about it?"
Agumon turns around and begins to dig into the sand, throwing it all behind him... and
right into Mimi's face.
"My eyes!" Mimi screamed. "The sand burns in my eyes!"
Mimi stumbles around, just like Kari, until she too finds the water and joins Tai's brother
in getting the sand out of her eyes.
"Agumon! You know better than to do that to a beautiful woman like Mimi!"
"I'm sorry, Tai. It sounded like a good idea at the time."
"And I'm proud of you for doing it," Tai said, patting Agumon on the head. "In her case,
we can make an exception."
"Good going, Tai," Matt stated sarcastically. "She's probably going to be angry when
her eyes are clean."
"Yeah? So?"
"I guess you didn't see her karate chop me in the back of the head earlier."
"She did that? Man, you're such a weakling!"
"You want to be put back on mall security duty?"
"No."
"Then shut up!"
Kari finally washed the last of the sand from her eyes and made her way back to Tai,
Matt, Agumon, and Gabumon. She was pretty sore about the whole ordeal.
"You just had to suggest throwing sand, didn't you?" came the inquiry from Kari.
"I really thought you had done that already!" Tai responded.
"They probably did all but throw sand, Tai," Matt noted, adding a hearty laugh.
"This is a fine mess we've got here," Sora said, walking up to the trio.
"Huh?" Tai asked.
Sora pointed to the aforementioned four dueling Digimon, who were now panting heavily
on the ground. Biyomon is checking up on all of them.
"They all seem to be hungry. I think it's time we ate."
Everyone suddenly hears a stomach grumbling. They all turn to the source of the noise...
Tai's stomach. He laughs.
"I guess we're all hungry."
"We'd better get some food," Matt said.
"Did someone mention food?"
The four humans jumped back as Mimi, happy as can be, was standing right in front of
them.
"Mimi," came the nervous laugh from Tai, "aren't you angry?"
"Not right now," she replied. "Let's eat first and then I'll discuss it."
"Remind me to make sure I finish my food before she does," Agumon whispers to Tai.
"I don't want to think what she'll do to me."
"What about me?" Tai yelled at his Digimon. "I'm the one who suggested throwing sand
in the first place!"
After about half an hour, the five humans and seven Digimon were gathered around a pile
of wood that they had gathered.
"Pepper Breath!" Agumon said, setting the pieces of wood on fire.
"Wow!" Tai shouted. "I have to remember to bring you on my next camping trip!"
"But why did we set up this fire if we have nothing to eat?" Sora asked.
"Beats me," Mimi said, shrugging her shoulders.
"Leave that to me," Gomamon said, using the last of his energy to make a special call to
the sea. "Marching Fishes!"
A small school of fish of all different colors come flying out of the water.
"Wow Gomamon!" Gatomon shouted, happy to see all of the free fish. "You're a
lifesaver!"
"Those aren't for you!" Gomamon cried out. "They're for me!"
"That is wrong on so many levels!" Agumon exclaimed.
"What are you talking about? They're not real, for crying out loud!"
About two dozen fish piled up onto the beach next to Gomamon. Everyone was holding
their nose as the smell of dried fish quickly spread across the beach.
"Eeewww!" Mimi cried. "They smell real to me. We have to eat those stinky things?"
"They'll smell much better after they've been fried," Matt said as he picked up a spare
wooden stick, attached a fish to one end, and then placed the other end in the sand, right
next to the fire.
Everyone else went over to do the same thing... until Kari stops Tai from doing so.
"Did you wash your hands?" Kari asked her big brother.
"Wash my hands?" Tai asked back.
"Yes. You had sex. Did you wash your hands after you were done?"
"Kari, I was kidnapped! Do you think I had time to go to the restroom?"
"Better safe than sorry!"
"What part about 'I was kidnapped right after I had sex' do you not understand, Kari?"
Tai shouted.
"Can we just move on?" Mimi whined. "I think we all know Tai slept with Catherine by
now."
"Not until Tai washes his hands!" Kari reiterated, pointing towards the bay.
Tai grumbles as he shuffles down to the water to clean his dirty hands.
"Speaking of that slut," Sora began, "why isn't she here?"
The group looks further down the beach and into the water... where Catherine is still
trying to drown Joe.
"Do you think we should call them over?" Matt asked.
"I'm sure they'll be fine," Mimi replied with a smile. "They'll come over if they're
hungry."
"I guess," Kari added hesitantly.
"Kari," Tai said as he returned with his clean hands, "those two are having a little love
spat. Let them resolve it themselves."
"They're in love?" Sora said, jumping in.
"I don't think so," Matt answered. "I think Catherine's just trying to drown Joe."
"Um... shouldn't Joe be already dead after all that drowning?" Kari wondered.
"I guess so," Tai said. "They have been at it for quite a while.
"Maybe Catherine hasn't noticed that Joe's already dead," Mimi stated.
"I don't think so," Sora replied. "It still looks like Joe's moving."
"We'll figure it out later," Tai noted. "Let's just eat."
The seven Digimon were watching this whole exchange and are confused by it all.
"Humans can be so weird sometimes," Floramon said.
"I agree," Agumon said.
"They can't be as weird as Gomamon," Gatomon noted.
"Hey!" Gomamon shouted. "A Digimon's gotta eat too!"
"Yep!" Palmon exclaimed. "It's a Digimon eat Digimon world!"
"Hell, if we were wild Digimon, we'd probably be eating each other right now!"
"Good one, Gabumon!" Biyomon giggled, as the others quickly joined her.
*****
After a good meal, the group split back into their respective factions. Sora, Mimi,
Biyomon, Palmon, and Floramon were all on one side of the beach. Tai, Kari, Matt,
Agumon, Gatomon, Gabumon, and Gomamon were on the other side.
"So, where were we?" Sora asked.
"I believe we were getting ready for an all-out Digimon battle," Tai replied.
"Four on three?" Mimi noted. "I don't think that's fair."
"You're right," Matt said. "Gabumon and I will not fight."
"Wow!" Gabumon smiled. "You're so honorable, Matt."
"No, I'm not. I just want to punish you for opening that big mouth of yours!"
"Three on three!" Kari shouted. "Happy?"
"Very much," Mimi replied. "Oh, and remind me to kill Tai and Agumon after this."
"Only if you promise to leave them in one piece!"
"Kari! Whose side are you on anyway?"
"Are you ready?" Sora asked.
"Let's battle!" Kari answered.
"I'm with you!" Tai added.
"Destroy them!"
"Can't we do it later?" Mimi pleaded, pulling out a nail file out of nowhere. "It's time
for me to do my nails!"
"I said destroy them!" Sora repeated, growling angrily at her teammate.
"Oh," Mimi squeaked, not wanting to get Sora any angrier. Turning to Palmon, she says,
"Take care of them, will ya Palmon?"
Agumon, Gatomon, Gomamon, Biyomon, Palmon, and Floramon all get into a fistfight.
Each of them are firing off their respective attacks at each other.
"Now Mimi, you can do your nails."
"Thanks Sora!"
"Pepper Breath!"
"Spiral Twister!"
"Lightning Claw!"
"Poison Ivy!"
"Marching Fishes!"
"Allergy Shower!"
All of the Digimon except Floramon stop dead in their tracks.
"Allergy Shower?" Tai queried. "What kind of attack is that? Does it give you
allergies?"
"I'll show you what Allergy Shower does!" Floramon shouts as she fires of her attack.
She aims it over Agumon, Gatomon, and Gabumon. The attack quickly begins to take
effect.
"I can't move!" Agumon shouted.
"Me neither!" Gatomon exclaimed, reluctantly.
"Is it just me or is the sand melting?" added Gomamon.
"My Allergy Shower attack lowers the will power of any enemy Digimon," Floramon
stated. "Those who are affected by it will no longer possess the will to fight! Now that
you no longer doubt my powers, you must bow before me!"
"Um, Floramon?" Biyomon said, interrupting Floramon's speech.
Floramon glances towards her comrades... only to find that they can't move either.
"Your aim needs some work!" Palmon noted.
Floramon sweatdrops as Agumon, Gatomon, Gabumon, Biyomon, and Palmon begin to
lose their energy. Eventually, they all drop to the ground and fall asleep.
"Okay, who honestly thought the battle would end this way?" Tai asked. Nobody raised
their hand. "I didn't think so."
"It looks like the battle is over," Sora said.
"And we win!" Mimi exclaimed, jumping up and down. "Yeah!"
"Not so fast!" Tai shouted. "We still have one more Digimon!"
"That's right," Matt said, glancing at Gabumon.
"But I thought you didn't want me to fight. It's my punishment."
"I can punish you later. Right now, stopping them is more important then reprimanding
you."
"Thanks Matt! You won't regret this!"
"Don't go soft on me! Just take care of Floramon!"
"Got it!"
So, it has come down to this. Floramon vs. Gabumon. The end result of this case
depended on the outcome of this battle. Who would win? Good or evil?
"Come on!" Matt yelled. "It's all up to you, Gabumon!"
"Floramon, you'd better not lose!" Mimi shouted.
"Start the battle already!" Tai whined. "I wanna go home!"
"Gladly," Floramon said, jumping into the air. "I'll make this quick and painless.
Allergy Shower!"
Floramon fires off her Allergy Shower, but Gabumon dodges it. Floramon is irate.
"Hey! You weren't supposed to dodge that!"
"Blue Blaster!" shouts Gabumon, firing at Floramon.
"Wait! I wasn't rea..."
The attack hits Floramon, sending her hard into the sand. She is knocked unconsciously
immediately.
"That's impossible!" Mimi said, disappointed. "We were supposed to win!"
"Give it up, Mimi!" Tai shouted. "You too, Sora!"
"Um, Tai..." Kari began, "where's Sora?"
Tai, Matt, Mimi, and Gabumon look around and see that Sora is gone.
"She must have run off during the battle!" Matt said, stating the obvious.
"That's just like Sora to leave me by myself!" Mimi exclaimed. "But it's not over yet! I
still have my trump card!"
"Trump card?" Matt asked, gasping in fear.
"What is she talking about?" Tai asked with the same reaction.
"I'm ready to take out anything you can dish out!" Gabumon adds.
"This is a Digivice!" Mimi states proudly, reaching into her shirt and pulling something
out of it. "This gives me the power to allow my Digimon to digivolve! When Palmon
digivolves into Togemon, her champion stage, she'll bury Gabumon in the sand! Aha ha
ha ha ha!"
"Mimi, I've got two questions for ya." Tai began. "One, where do you find room to put a
Digivice in your shirt?"
"That's none of your business!" Mimi blushed, instinctively covering up her chest.
"And two, unless that Digivice is very small or is invisible, I don't see it."
"Huh?" Mimi blinked. She looked at her hand and sees that it is empty.
"Hey! Where's my Digivice!"
"Is this what you're looking for?" Kari said, pulling a Digivice with the symbol of
Sincerity engraved on the back of it out of her shirt.
"Kari! How did you..."
"Easy, Tai. I snatched it from her during our little scuffle. You think I was fighting with
her just to please you guys?"
"You could've fooled me," Matt says, scratching his head nervously.
"That's not what I was going to ask you," Tai said. "I was going to ask you how you fit it
in your shirt without it sticking out."
Kari takes the Digivice and hits Tai on the top of his head with it.
"You never learn, do you?"
Matt pulls out a pair of handcuffs and attaches them to Mimi's wrists.
"It looks like your life as a criminal is over."
"Is there anyway I can get time off for good behavior? I do have a honest job, by the
way. And my boss will be real ticked off if I don't show up for work."
"I'm sure we can think of some excuse to tell him."
A few minutes later, a troop of police officers are leading Mimi, Biyomon, Palmon, and
Floramon into the Digi-port and back to the real world. Agumon, Gabumon, Gomamon,
and Gatomon follows the group out to keep an eye on the Digimon, leaving Tai, Kari,
and Matt on the Digiworld beach.
"That's another case solved!" Kari exclaimed.
"Yep," Tai said, stretching his hands out. "Now if we can only solve the fourteen cases
waiting on our desks, then we're all set for our vacation."
"Let's finish those first, you two. Then we'll talk vacation."
"Yes, Matt. Sometimes I wonder why I even took this job."
"I don't know where Tai would be today if I wasn't with him," Kari smirked.
"Say what?" Tai asked in surprise. "You wouldn't be here without me! You can't drive,
remember?"
"Only because I'm nineteen! I could drive if I wanted too!"
"But that would be illegal!"
"Technically speaking, that's the only thing that's keeping me from driving!"
As the two siblings continue to argue, Matt can only smile and shake his head.
"Siblings. Always destined to bicker about anything and everything. But after it's all
said and done, they'll be closer than ever."
All of a sudden, Matt spots Catherine walking on shore, with Joe's right arm draped over
her shoulder as she drags him in. Joe's still alive, but barely. Tai and Kari also stop their
argument and notice the exhausted duo.
"I give up," Catherine panted, collapsing on the beach. "This guy's impossible to
drown."
"You just didn't know how to do it right," Joe replied, also panting heavily.
"I don't believe it," Kari said.
"Me neither," Tai added.
"Let's just take her into custody," Matt sighed, pulling out another pair of handcuffs and
placing them on Catherine's wrists. Matt then escorts her towards the Digi-port. Tai and
Kari follow him out, having Joe support himself with their shoulders.
"Let's go home and relax!" Tai exclaimed.
"I second that motion!" Kari said, agreeing with her brother.
With that, the trio heads off into the Digi-port and back to the real world.
"I wonder what happened to Sora," Tai wondered, as the Digi-port closes behind him.
Little did he know that a pair of eyes were watching the trio from the forest. A pair of
brown eyes. After blinking a few times, the eyes disappear into the woods, never to be
seen again.
Or are they?
