Digimon Adventure, Episode 47: Etemon's Comeback Tour
Tai narrated, "Matt and I were having were having a disagreement when suddenly an entity began to speak through Kari. It showed us images of the past when we first saw the Digimon 4 years ago. Next we saw past images Piedmon attempting to steal the Digi-eggs of what would have eventually become our Digimon. A young Gennai rescued the eggs and took them to the safety of File Island where we first found them. After our history lesson, Kari returned to normal, but Matt still wanted to leave. Mimi and Joe also separated from the group. If this keeps up, there won't be anyone to save either world!"
We skip the theme song.
We open to the top of the trees where a dark purple burst of energy erupts from the bottom.
The blast came from Ogremon who is currently running from Digimon that resembled living tree stumps. He stopped running to turn and face them. The Digimon Analyzer activates.
"Get away from me, you pile of Woodmon! I know your tricks. You pretend to be trees and then abosorb the energy from unsuspecting Digimon as they pass by," Ogremon said. The Digimon Analyzer deactivates as Ogremon punches a few Woodmon. More kept on coming. "This is your last warning! Alright, you asked for it! How many Woodmon can an Ogremon chuck if an Ogremon can chuck Woodmon? Pummel Whack!" He fires his fist attack at few of the Woodmon and he started to run. The Woodmon started to chase after him. "They sure run fast for tree stumps!"
Meanwhile, Joe, Mimi, Gomamon, and Palmon are eating after separating from the rest DigiDestined, and Mimi is still thinking about Matt. She was blaming herself for Matt leaving the group. It was hard to blame here because of the friends the DigiDestined lost when they tried to help them.
"This is good!" Gomamon beamed as he took a bite of an apple.
"Joe, can I tell you something?" Mimi asked.
"What?" Joe asked.
"I hope I wasn't too selfish for saying I didn't want to fight anymore," Mimi said. Joe knew where this was coming from.
"I don't think you were selfish. In fact, I think you were brave. What you said is true. Fighting just leads to more fighting, and then nothing ever gets resolved. My brother Jim used to say the same thing after he'd get beat up," Joe said. He sighed as he looked up in the sky. Mimi looked at the Child of Reliability as the image of Joe reflects on his glasses.
"Joe? What is it, Joe?" Mimi asked. Jim's image disappeared from his glasses.
"It's nothing. Never mind," Joe said.
"Joe," Gomamon said.
"What?" Joe asked as he looked at his partner.
"Don't keep things bottled up inside. It's not healthy," Gomamon said. The Child of Reliability stood on his feet.
"Don't tell me about not being healthy. I've been not healthy my whole life, so I'm an expert! And if I want to keep things bottled up, I will!" Joe said.
"Whoa, it looks like somebody needs a timeout in the corner! I was just trying to lend a friendly ear!" Gomamon said. Joe relents, regretting snapping at his partner.
"I know you were, Gomamon. Sorry, buddy," Joe apologized to the Digimon of Reliability.
The duo of Sincerity and Reliability gasped when a giant shadow looms over them. They saw a black vortex in the sky and it was getting smaller in each passing second.
"What is that thing?" Palmon asked.
The vortex vanishes and a huge, burning meteorite comes down at an alarming speed.
"It looks like a meteorite!" Joe exclaimed. It comes even closer. "Look out! It's coming this way! That thing is monstrous!"
Back with Ogremon, he is still running from the Woodman and he reaches an edge, knowing he's reached a dead-end.
"I can't rid of you guys! You're not trees, you're weeds!" Ogremon exclaimed. "It can't all end like this before I beat Leomon!" He looked up in the sky and saw the meteorite. The Woodman turned around and saw it coming their way. "What in the world?! It's heading right for us!" The Woodman began to retreat. They are all crushed, but the impact sends Ogremon flying and he screams as he fell down the cliff.
The impact makes the entire forest shake.
Over to the forest, Tai's group are holding on as the whole forest shook. They all held onto trees.
"What's happening?!" Sora exclaimed. The shaking ceases.
"Was that some sort of explosion?" Tai asked.
"An earthquake?" Izzy asked.
"A meteor!" Tentomon confirmed. The DigiDestined looked up and saw him fly down. "And I mean a whopper! It just crashed in the forest!"
"Totally cool! Let's go check it out!" Tai said.
"I don't know, Tai. It could be dangerous," Sora said with a hint of worry in her tone.
"Yeah. Let's head over to Puppetmon's mansion instead," TK suggested.
"We'll show you guys exactly where it is," Patamon added.
"I suppose it's inevitable. He's one of the Dark Masters and we'll have to fight him sooner or later," Izzy pointed out.
"Yeah, it's time somebody cuts his strings instead of waiting around here. Let's take the fight to him for a change. If we don't hurry up, I'm afraid both of our worlds will be destroyed," Gatmon said.
"Let's do it, Tai," Kari agreed with her partner. Tai crossed his arms.
"Wait a second, you guys, let's think this over. Puppetmon is a Mega Digimon, and we won't be able to defeat him that easily," Sora said.
"Oh, in that case, let's give up and go watch cartoons," TK said with sarcasm.
"Let's fight!" Patamon said.
"The fair thing to do is to take a vote. All those in favor of going to Puppetmon's mansion, raise your hand and say aye," Izzy said.
"Aye!" Izzy, TK, and Kari all said, raising their hands.
"The ayes have it," Izzy said.
"Tai, you didn't vote," Sora said. Tai was still thinking.
"I wonder how Matt would vote. He'd probably go the safe route," Tai thought.
"So, Tai, what do you think?" TK asked. Tai looked at the Child of Hope, wondering if he should agree to this.
"And what about TK? With Matt not here, it's my job to make sure nothing happens to him," Tai thought.
"What should we do, Tai?" Kari asked.
"Well, uh..." Tai paused.
"We're waiting for an answer," Tentomon said in a sing-song tone.
"After all we've been through, he can't really be thinking about going," Sora thought.
"Alright, we're going just to look around. But we don't have to start any trouble," Tai said.
"Right!" Everyone all said.
"It's this way, guys," TK said as he and Patamon leads his friends.
Sora looked down at the ground, worried about what's about to happen. Tai was quick to notice.
"Sora?" Tai asked. She looked at Tai.
"I'll go along with in your decision, but I'm still not sure it's safe," Sora said.
"I know it's dangerous, Sora, and we're not looking for trouble. But if anything happens, Koromon and I will hold off Puppetmon while you take the others and escape. I won't let anything happen to you," Tai said. He remembered the fight with Etemon back in the pyramid when Datamon tricked them into freeing him.
"You mean it?" Sora asked.
"Of course I do. I promise, I won't let you down again," Tai said. Sora placed her hand on his cheek.
"Tai, what happened back in the pyramid wasn't your fault. You came to my rescue and I'm grateful for that," Sora said. Tai smiled and felt better. He had the sudden urge to kiss her right on the lips just like in the movies.
"Let's go rejoin the others before they wonder where we are," Tai said, blushing.
"Yeah, let's," Sora said, blushing as well. Sora followed her crush back with the group.
Over to the smoking crater...
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, get ready for the comeback tour of the year! Baby, I'm back!" A familiar voice said. It turns out to be Etemon, but his whole body is made of metal. "Uh-huh-huh! Yeah!"
Over to Joe, Mimi, Gomamon, and Palmon, they went to see what it was that crashed into the forest and they stopped when they saw something.
"Look, there it is," Joe said. He saw smoke coming from up above. "The meteor landed up in that cliff!"
"I wonder where on earth it could have come from," Mimi said.
"Probably LA," Palmon said. Gomamon sniffed the ground. Palmon turned to Gomamon. "What?"
"I smell something from over there," Gomamon said. He rushes off to the source, so Palmon follows him.
"Wait!" Joe called out.
"Hey, not so fast! I might sweat!" Mimi cried.
"And I keep tripping on my roots!" Palmon said. They followed the source of the smell which came from an injured Digimon laying under scraps of forest debris. They made their stop when they saw the Digimon and gasped when they saw it laying unconscious on the ground. "I think someone's hurt."
"Hang in there! We're coming!" Gomamon said.
"We gotta get these branches off of him," Palmon said, running to the injured Digimon. She got a couple of branches off only to reveal that the injured Digimon is Ogremon, laying unconscious and his head bleeding from the fall. Palmon exclaimed in fear when she saw him. "Ogremon! Yikes! We better get out of here before he wakes up!"
He grunts in pain, alarming them all, but he doesn't get up. Mimi saw how hurt he was, and she felt sorry for him.
"It looks like he's hurt," Mimi said.
"Good, so he won't be able to chase us," Gomamon said.
"Remember him from File Island? He was meaner than a cat getting a bath. Let's pretend like we never found him," Joe said. Mimi heads right over to him, holding a handkerchief. "Hey! Mimi, what are you doing?"
"His cut looks bad," Mimi said, bending down to clean his wound. He grunts again, alarming her. He opens his eyes and saw the Child of Sincerity looking back at him.
"You're the DigiDestined," Ogremon said.
"Well, I guess you don't have amnesia, but try not to move anyway, okay?" Mimi asked. Ogremon grunts. "Palmon, go look for some healing herbs. And, Gomamon, see if you can find some water."
"Right," Gomamon and Palmon both said, taking off.
"Now, Joe, I want you to-" Mimi was cut off.
"I know. My father's a doctor, and he taught me a lot. I used to practice on my toys," Joe said.
"Toys?" Ogremon asked.
"I told you not to move," Mimi scolded.
"Okay," Ogremon said. Mimi proceeds to clean his wounds with some rubbing alcohol. We switch the scene to butterflies on flowers. "Ow! That stuff burns! Be careful!" The butterflies flies away. We switch back to Mimi and Joe treating his other injuries.
"Big baby, don't you want to get better?" Mimi asked.
"It looks like his arm might be broken. We're going have to put it in a sling," Joe said. He spots the toilet paper in his bag. "Ooh, toilet paper!"
"Do you have to do that now?" Mimi asked.
"Really, Mimi. I'm using it as bandages," Joe said, wrapping it around his arm along with leaves and sticks for support. "Before we came back here in the Digital World, I thought of things we might need, and toilet paper was the first thing that came to my mind. There just about finished here. Well?" Joe got finished.
"Feels soft. it must be 2-ply," Ogremon said.
"Lay off the Digivolving, and you'll be as good as new," Joe said, patting his arm.
"Ow!" Ogremon yelped in pain.
Mimi had to admit she was impressed by how Joe has treated his first patient even if he isn't a doctor.
"Joe, I never knew you were so resourceful," Mimi said.
Ogremon had his injured arm in a sling made of toilet paper.
"Why are you DigiDestined being so nice to me, especially after the way I tried to destroy you on File Island? You could have left me to rot. But instead you saved me. Why?" Ogremon asked.
"Well, we were taught that if someone's in trouble, you always help them out, the means even if they were trying to pummel you into oblivion," Mimi answered the green Digimon's question.
"Gee, I never thought of it that way. Thanks, I owe you one," Ogremon said, standing up.
"Don't mention it. Besides, that's what friends do, they help each other out," Mimi said.
"Bye!" Joe said as they were leaving.
"Wait! Don't leave now!" Ogremon said. And they stopped. "I never had any friends." Ogremon's voice was breaking up in a cry. Mimi smiled and turned around.
"Oh, well, you have them now," Mimi said.
Even though they started off as enemies, Ogremon was happy to have his first friends. He cried very happily. Tears filled his eyes.
"I've never seen Ogremon cry before," Gomamon said.
"Don't tell me you need more toilet paper to blow your nose," Joe said.
"It's alright. I'll just use my sleeve," Ogremon said, wiping away his tears.
"That's gotta hurt with all those spikes!" A familiar voice spoke, alarming the 2 DigiDestined and the Digimon, knowing exactly who it was. They saw Puppetmon standing up in a tree, facing away from them. "Here's a riddle! What has 4 strings and made of wood?" He turned around.
"Puppetmon!" Joe, Mimi, Gomamon, and Palmon gasped.
"No, a violin, but that's a good guess. I guess you guys aren't music lovers," Puppetmon said.
"No, it's you we don't like!" Gomamon said.
"Oh, yeah? Do you like this?" Puppetmon asked, firing laser bullets from his hammer. Gomamon screamed as he ran. "I can also play a really mean saxophone."
"I've got to Digivolve!" Palmon said.
"But!" Mimi said. She imagined Togemon getting hurt in the fight against the puppet-like Dark Master. She thought, "Oh no! What if Togemon gets hurt during the fight?" Palmon turned to Mimi.
"Mimi, you gotta help me Digivolve!" Palmon said. Mimi was hesitant, but she nodded.
Ultimate Digivolution theme
Digimon!
Mimi's Digivice shoots out light and Palmon is rapidly spinning in the Digi-zone.
"Palmon Digivolve to…Togemon!"
Mimi's Digivice vibrates rapidly and turns solid green. It shoots a beam of light that blasts through her tag and the Crest of Sincerity spirals into the air.
Digimon
Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the champions!
Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the champions!
The Crest of Sincerity stops and explodes, beaming light down the Digi-zone and gives Togemon strength.
"Togemon Digivolve to…"
Light blasts out from her eyes and a huge rose blooms from her hair, releasing millions of petals that occasionally cause fireworks. The rose sprouts and releases a fairy wearing a pink flower dress, 4 leaf wings and 2 green boots. It dances about before preparing for battle.
"Lillymon!"
Digimon!
…
Lillymon flies at Puppetmon, ready to fight. Mimi wasn't feeling up to fighting since remembering the sacrifices that Wizardmon, Chuuman, Piximon, and Whamon have made since their fights.
"Lillymon," Mimi hesitantly said.
"Come and get some, you walking piece of firewood!" Lillymon said. She gets out her flower gun. "Flower Cannon!" She fires at Puppetmon, but he easily dodges it.
"Take this! Puppet Pummel!" Puppetmon shouted, swinging his hammer, easily beating her.
"Lillymon!" Mimi cried.
"Mimi, you've got to believe in me," Lillymon weakly said.
"But I don't want to lose you," Mimi said.
"Have some more of this! Puppet Pummel!" Puppetmon shouted, swinging his hammer at her again, taking her down hard. Lillymon de-Digivolves back to Palmon.
"Gomamon! Digivolve!" Joe said.
"Right!" Gomamon said, jumping in.
Digivolution theme
Digimon!
Light beams from Joe's Digivice. Energy sprinkles downwards. A silver beam of light pours from the top of the Digi-zone and forms the image of Ikkakumon that soon disappears. Gomamon gains his data and spins around fast in the Digi-zone.
Digimon: Digital Monsters! Digimon are the Champions!
"Gomamon Digivolve to... Ikkakumon!"
Digimon!
...
"Harpoon Torpedo!" Ikkakumon shouted, firing his signature attack at Puppetmon, but he jumps out of the way and laughed at them. Joe's Crest of Reliability began to glow.

The Crest of Reliability stops and explodes, beaming a light down the Digi-zone and gives Ikkakumon strength.
"Ikkakumon Digivolve to…"
Ikkakumon is engulfed in a torrent of water that turns into a vortex. He emerges as an orange/gray walrus with a large, spiky green shell and a horn.
Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the champions!
Thor's hammer instantly materialises in roaring thunder and he grabs it before giving it a good swing and getting into a battle stance.
"Zudomon!"
Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon!
...
Joe held his silver vibrating Digivice tightly as Puppetmon came right at Zudomon with his Hammer.
"Take this! Puppet Pummel!" Puppetmon shouted.
"Vulcan's Hammer!" Zudomon shouted, bringing down his own hammer. They clashed their hammers against one another, but Zudomon's hammer goes flying after Puppetmon knocked it out of his claws. Flames engulfed Zudomon, losing against Puppetmon. He fell backwards once the flames has subsided. Puppetmon laughed again as Zudomon de-Digivolves back into Gomamon.
...
"Don't tell me playtime's over!" Puppetmon said. Just then, a Tarzan cry is heard in the forest, so everyone looked around. They saw a silhouette of a monkey swinging from a vine, still doing the Tarzan cry. Puppetmon was getting annoyed. "Alright already!" Thdy saw Etemon coming and lands on a tree branch and flexed his muscles. Joe, Mimi, Gomamon, and Palmon were dismayed to see another old enemy, but they weren't too happy to see them.
"Get Digi with it! MetalEtemon's in the house!" MetalEtemon announced.
"Who's that guy?" Puppetmon asked.
"A superstar like me deserves a little applause, baby!" MetalEtemon said, clapping his hands. He stopped clapping. "After all, it's been so long since we've seen each other."
"Oh no! It's Etemon!" Joe gasped.
"I used to be Etemon, kid, but that was a long time ago. Now I'm MetalEtemon! Well, thank you! Thank you very much!" MetalEtemon boasted. The Digimon Analyzer activates.
"We thought Etemon was tough, MetalEtemon's a Mega Digimon! After his Banana Slip attack, they'll have to peel us off the floor!" Gomamon said. The Digimon Analyzer deactivates.
"Just what we need, new and unimproved," Palmon said.
"Well, let me tell you how I became me," MetalEtemon said, turning around as rock and roll music is playing. An audience cheered. He began to sing his story as he took a microphone as a few Etemon are wearing different costumes and playing different instruments.
(MetalEtemon)
Now, he's looking so styled
When Etemon expired
"Listen up, baby!" MetalEtemon said.
(Flashback)
We look at the fight with Etemon when he was merged with his Dark Network. MetalGreymon's body glowed bright.
"I'm sure you remember the battle I had with MetalGreymon! I'll tell you, he's one tough dinosaur, honey!" MetalGreymon fired his Giga Blaster at Etemon, creating the same black hole that sucked him up. "After that, I was swallowed up by a black hole! I think I gave it indigestion!" We look at into space as Etemon is still stuck in his Dark Network. "My digital information was scattered throughout the universe! I pulled myself together and chilled out in Digimon limbo!" Etemon was filled with rage about his defeat his defeat by the hands of the DigiDestined and threw a tantrum. Electricity and flames erupts all around him. "My information was chopped, mixed, whipped, and puréed! I felt like a 4-speed blender, honey! But I refused to return to the Digital World until I was bigger, better, and had a full head of metal hair! Now I'm back to get my revenge on you, DigiDestined!"
We see the meteorite coming down, leading to Etemon's return.
(End of flashback)
I've got the lowdown, dirty, revengeful- OW!
I'm talking big-time DigiDestined rude!
As the song ends, Joe, Mimi, Gomamon, Palmon, and Ogremon hold their ears, keeping out the sound of Etemon's music. Puppetmon wasn't having it.
"Enough!" Puppetmon shouted, running up to him. MetalEtemon jumped down from the tree he was standing on.
"I've just got started there, you oversized footstool!" MetalEtemon said.
"Who are you calling oversized?" Puppetmon asked. MetalEtemon takes out a banana peel.
"Watch your step! Banana Slip!" MetalEtemon shouted, throwing the banana peel. Puppetmon slips on it. "Too much of a waxy buildup. Huh, huh, huh!" Puppetmon was really mad now.
"Puppet Pummel!" Puppetmon shouted, swinging his hammer at the metal monkey. He hops in pain.
"Ow! I'll use you as a toothpick!" MetalEtemon snapped, trying to tackle him. Puppetmon fired his laser bullets at MetalEtemon, but they bounce right off of him. "Metal Punch!" He punches Puppetmon in the face.
"You fight dirty!" Puppetmon said.
"I'm not dirty! I just got detailed at the car wash yesterday," MetalEtemon said. Puppetmon swings his hammer down, making a wave of energy.
Seeing it as a distraction for their escape, Joe began to push Mimi out of harm's way.
"Now's our chance to escape!" Joe said.
Joe, Mimi, Gomamon, Palmon, and Ogremon started to run for their lives, knowing they didn't stand a chance against two Megas at once.
Puppetmon taunts MetalEtemon by sticking his tongue at him.
"Nya-nya-nya-nya!" Puppetmon taunted. MetalEtemon attempts to punch him, but he hits the tree behind him instead, and it fell right on him. Puppetmon laughed at his dismay.
Meanwhile, TK and Patamon led their friends to Puppetmon's mansion. Tai looks through his telescope.
"So that's Puppetmon's mansion, huh?" Tai asked, lowering it to see 2 Digimon standing outside. "There are 2 guards!" He takes his Digivice out of his pocket and hands it to Izzy. "See who they are."
"Analyzing," Izzy said, taking Tai's Digivice. He places it in the Digivice socket. Izzy was glad he got the Digimon Analyzer from Gennai and the adapter that will allow him to gain access on Digimon the others have seen. The Digimon Analyzer activates on the reptilian flower Digimon. "One of them is Floramon. She's a plant type Digimon who Digivolves like a reptile. Her attack is Rain of Pollen." The Digimon Analyzer deactivates. "And the other guard is..." The Digimon Analyzer activates again. "Deramon. At first glance, it looks like a bird type Digimon, but it's actually got a plant growing out of its back. Prodigious!"
"So they're not Ultimate Digimon, right?" Tai asked.
"Deramon is, but he looks strong enough to be a Rookie Digimon," Izzy said. He hands Tai's Digivice back to him.
"Nonetheless, we should be careful. It cpild be quite dangerous," Tentomon said. He began to fly. "Shall we go?"
"Wait!" Tai said. Tentomon lands on the ground, looking at Tai. "There might be more guards inside. I'll go inside and make sure the coast is clear. You guys wait here until I get back."
"Tai, I think Patamon and I should go with you. After all, we're the only ones who know where everything is inside there," TK said.
"Right," Patamon agreed.
Tai didn't want to put TK in danger because he's Matt isn't here to protect him.
"Sorry, it might be dangerous," Tai said.
"Come on, Tai! Don't treat me like a little kid!" TK said.
"That's not it," Tai said.
"What if we go together as a team?" Kari suggested, backing up TK.
"I vote with Kari," Izzy said, raising his hand in agreement. "There's nothing to he afraid of if we go together."
"What do we do, Tai?" Koromon asked. "You decide."
"Alright, everyone, we're going. Follow me," Tai said.
Back to the fight between Puppetmon and MetalEtemon, Puppetmon has MetalEtemon tied in his strings, so he has him smack himself.
"Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! Hey, cut it out!" MetalEtemon yelled as Puppetmon laughed, having fun with his new puppet. He makes the metal monkey fall on his back and tickle his armpits. "Hey, quit it! I hate tickling! Come on!"
"Now I can finally take care of those kids," Puppetmon said. He noticed that the DigiDestined have escaped. "They're gone!" Hearing this, MetalEtemon can move freely again.
"It's your fault, you piece of rotted driftwood!" MetalEtemon said, breaking the strings.
"You recycled tin can!" Puppetmon taunted.
"Big, dumb knothole!" MetalEtemon taunted back. He attempted to tackle Puppetmon by jumping up to him, but the puppet-like Dark Master just jumped off and kicked him against the tree he was on. He slides down and watches Puppetmon leave. "Hey, where are you going?"
"Home! You're lousy at name-calling," Puppetmon pouted.
"Oh yeah? Well, I'm metal, and you're wood! Whatever you say to me bounces off me and splits you in half!" MetalEtemon said. He takes off, finding the DigiDestined that escaped. "Who needs him, anyway? I can find those DigiDestined myself. After all, I am the ultimate metal detector!"
Back at the mansion, Tai's team got ready to strike at Puppetmon's mansion.
"Let's go!" Koromon said.
Digivolution theme
Digimon!
Tai's Digivice beams a light high above.
"Koromon digivolve to...Agumon!
Digimon!
…
Tentomon and Agumon came at Floramon and Deramon.
"Super Shocker!" Tentomon shouted, firing his attack at Floramon, shocking her.
"I'll get him! Pepper Breath!" Agumon shouted, firing a fireball from his mouth. Deramon is burned to a crisp. Deramon was steamed about the assault he just received.
"If you wanted fried chicken, you should have asked," Deramon said.
"Sorry, we thought you guys were out here protecting Puppetmon's mansion," Agumon said.
"Oh, so you barbecued me," Deramon said.
"We're not out here protecting anything," Floramon said.
"Then what are you guys doing?" TK asked, running up to them.
"Well, we're supposed to be Puppetmon's playmates. You know, someone to chase and attack when he gets bored," Deramon said. "But let me fill you in on a little secret. Puppetmon is an obnoxious jerk, and none of us around this place can stand him."
"Oh, yeah. Now I remember. Puppetmon doesn't have any friends, even if he thinks he does" TK pointed out.
"Yeah, that's right," Patamon said.
"Wow. What could be worse than having a life without a single friend?" Kari asked as Gatomon just frowned.
"A litter box lined with fly paper," Gatomon said. Kari laughed nervously.
"So is Puppetmon inside the house right now?" Tai asked.
"I think he's out being fumigated for termites," Deramon said. Agumon looked at Tai.
"So what do we do, Tai?" Agumon asked.
"Well, now's a good chance to take a look inside the mansion," Tai said.
"Deramon, will you show us around?" TK asked.
"Sure. I used to be a tour guide at Digimon Studios," Deramon said. He and Floramon began to lead the way. "Oh, no video cameras, flash photography, food, or drink are allowed during the tour."
"Great! Let's go!" The DigiDestined and Digimon all said.
"The main structure was built before the Digital Revolution," Deramon said.
Meanwhile, MetalEtemon swings from tree to tree, searching for the DigiDestined.
"How hard could it be to find a bunch of kids?" MetalEtemon asked. He continued his search, doing another Tarzan yell.
They hid in a hollow tree, hopefully out of MetalEtemon's sight. Mimi has Palmon bandaged up.
"Palmon, it's my fault you got hurt," Mimi said.
"No, it's not, Mimi. I had to fight to protect you," Palmon said.
"But-" Mimi was cut off.
"I wanted to keep you safe even if it meant my own life," Palmon said. Mimi had to blame herself, because she hesitated and not believed in Lillymon's strength like she normally did. And that left her vulnerable. She had to get her mind off of it. "So, does it still hurt?"
"Actually, no, not really. I need to know how I can thank you all," Ogremon said.
"Oh, forget about it. You don't need to thank us," Mimi said.
"No, I have to. It's an ancient tradition to repay all acts of kindness," Ogremon insisted. "It's part of my sacred moral code as an Ogremon."
"Sacred moral code? What are you, a member of King Arthur's court or something?" Joe asked.
"Oh, that's so romantic!" Mimi swooned, imagining Matt as her knight in shining armor. She wore the same princess dress when she was being pampered by the Gekomon and Otamamon.
"I'm sorry. I'll never try to be meaner next time," Ogremon said, sobbing.
"Yeah, you'll ruin your reputation," Gomamon said. They laughed.
Back at the mansion, Deramon and Floramon opened the mansion door and stepped inside. A blue present is set on the steps, and it opens as a jack-in-the-box soldier with a machine gun. It fired at them. They all screamed as Tai, Sora, Kari, Biyomon, Gatomon, and Deramon run to the right, while Izzy, TK, Agumon, Tentomon, Patamon, and Floramon run to the left.
Tai, Sora, Kari, Biyomon, Gatomon, and Deramon stopped.
"What was that?!" Tai exclaimed.
"It's a jack-in-the-box with a serious attitude," Deramon said. Tai glared at Deramon.
"You wouldn't happen to be leading us into some sort of trap, would you, Deramon?" Tai accused. Deramon flinched.
"Why of course not! I would never try anything as deceitful as Puppetmon! Cross my wings and hope to fly! Honest!" Deramon said.
"I believe him, Tai. How about you?" Kari asked. Tai crossed his arms.
Over to Izzy, TK, Agumon, Tentomon, Patamon, and Floramon, they spotted a toy fire engine in the hallway.
"Oh, boy!" TK said with delight.
"It's a toy!" Patamon said as he and Agumon got close to it.
"Oh no! Make sure you don't touch it!" Floramon said. And Patamon does.
"Uh-oh," Patamon said as a red light comes on and turns on the siren.
"What's it doing?" Agumon asked.
"Watch out! Get down!" Floramon yelled, picking up the fire engine and threw it out the window. Izzy, TK, and the Digimon ducked their heads as it explodes outside. It makes a hole in the wall.
"It was a heat-activated bomb," Izzy said.
"That's why I said don't touch anything," Floramon said. Agumon and Patamon felt guilty for falling for one of Puppetmon's decoys.
"Sorry," Agumon and Patamon apologized.
Back at the tree, Mimi had a question about the rivalry between Leomon and Ogremon, so she had to ask him.
"Ogremon, can I ask you a personal question?" Mimi asked.
"Yes, it's true, I don't floss," Ogremon answered.
"That's not what I was going to ask," Mimi said. "Why do you fight with Leomon? Do you hate him?"
"No, no, it's not a question of hate. It's our destiny to fight each other. He and I will be rivals for all eternity," Ogremon said.
"Well, if that's your only purpose in life, what would happen if you actually won?" Mimi asked.
"I never really thought about it before. Maybe I'll take a vacation. A cruise is always nice," Ogremon said.
"What do you mean? And after that?" Mimi asked.
"What do you mean after that?" Ogremon asked.
"Well, if the fight's over, you wouldn't have a rival anymore," Mimi pointed out.
"Of course I would. He and I are like 2 old warriors, fighting a war that had no beginning and no end. Why, the only reason I exist at all is to defeat Leomon, and if he were gone-" Ogremon ends up confusing himself. "Well, I'm so confused."
"You've got to have more of a purpose in life just to beat Leomon," Mimi said.
"Leave me alone. You can't possibly understand. This rivalry is as old as time itself I don't care what happens. I'll think about it after I've defeated Leomon," Ogremon said, raising his club.
"You're getting way too excited. I better take your blood pressure," Joe said. MetalEtemon does his Tarzan yell from outside. "What's that?" He steps out to look around. "It came from out here."
"I've found you!" MetalEtemon said, jumping down from the top of the tree. Joe now regretted his decision to step out.
"Run!" Joe exclaimed as he, Mimi, and the Digimon all started to run for their lives again.
Meanwhile, Puppetmon is almost home.
"Hm, who should I play with next?" Puppetmon asked.
Inside the mansion, the DigiDestined have prepared a cannon to fire at Puppetmon. Tai looked through his telescope and sees Puppetmon coming.
"Puppetmon's coming back!" Tai exclaimed. "Are you ready?"
"It would help if I had some idea of how this worked," Izzy said.
"You do it," Agumon said, looking at Deramon and Floramon.
"What? That's against every principle I stand for," Deramon said. He saw it was a chance to take out Puppetmon. "Alright, what the heck, I'll do it, but don't tell Puppetmon. It'll be our secret. Shh."
"Yeah, yeah," Tai said.
"We know," Agumon said.
Deramon and Floramon aims the cannon at Puppetmon out the window.
"Okay, I've got him in my sights. Ready, aim, fire!" Deramon shouted. "Take this, Puppetmon!" The cannon fires. Puppetmon exclaims and ran the opposite direction when the cannon is being fired at him.
"Who's shooting at me?!" Puppetmon exclaimed. He gets behind a tree root. "I know who it is! It's the DigiDestined!" The cannon kept firing. "Hey, that's not fair! You're using my toy!" He began to run forward, holding his hammer high. He was angered by the bombardment he was retrieving. He screams as he charges.
Back in the forest, MetalEtemon swings from tree to tree again, looking for the DigiDestined.
"You can't hide from me! I'm the king of swing!" MetalEtemon said. He does another Tarzan yell as they're using the flora to cover themselves from MetalEtemon's sights. They got up when he was gone, but they heard a roar ahead of them. They turned to see a large Digimon.
"What is that?" Mimi asked.
"Friend or foe?" Joe asked.
The Digimon reveals itself as a saber-toothed lion. Ogremon laughed as he raised his club.
(Split screen)
Joe, Mimi, Gomamon, Palmon, Ogremon, and the saber-toothed lion are on top while Puppetmon running to his mansion is at the bottom.
Who is this new creature? Could he be Ogremon's archrival? And will Puppetmon escape Deramon's cannon blast to take his revenge on the DigiDestined? Tune in for the next episode of Digimon: Digital Monsters!
