EXT. PIXIMON'S TEMPLE

JORDAN:

We tried to look for him...

TARA:

...but he was too smart for us.

PIXIMON flies to NENE and EWAN.

PIXIMON:

So, they vowed to get as much training as possible in order to find their friend. What better place to train is my temple.

TARA was getting tired of scrubbing the floor.

TARA:

(sarcastic) Yeah, the temple is a great place for training.

PIXIMON:

So, how about you two? Looks like you two need some training.

NENE and EWAN hesitate.

NENE:

*nervous laughs* No thanks, I've done some stealth experience with my Digimon team.

EWAN:

Yeah, I just remember that Damemon has a dental appointment.

DAMEMON:

(off-screen; in Fusion Loader) I don't have any teeth.

EWAN:

*whispers* You do if you play along.

PIXIMON:

(off-screen) I heard that!

PIXIMON flies close to EWAN's face.

PIXIMON:

Now, listen. I know exactly why you and your sister are here. You two are looking for help to defeat the unknown threat *points to JORDAN and TARA off-screen* and with these two here, you think it's an excuse to get off my training?!

EWAN:

(nervous) Um...

PIXIMON:

No! You and your sister don't understand how powerful the dark forces are! I helped the original DigiDestined before and they've done successful when I was around. So, if you two want to save your universe, then pass my training course first!

NENE:

...**sighs* Alright.

PIXIMON:

Great! Let the training begin!

CUT to NENE raking sand in a Japanese rock garden. Camera tilts UP to SPARROWMON flying around the rooftops and blowing leaves off. DAMEMON was sliding the floor with soapy water. An annoyed EWAN was scrubbing the floors.

EWAN:

(Could this get any more annoying?)

EWAN turns and notices TARA strikes a pose while wearing NENE's dirty, white flip-flops.

EWAN:

Why are you wearing-?

NENE:

(off-screen) Tara thought they would look better on her.

TARA:

Yeah, Yulie. What do you think? *raises her foot near EWAN's face; wiggles toes* Do these make me look cute?

EWAN:

*blushes; stammers* Um...?

PIXIMON flies in-between.

PIXIMON:

Hey, Romeo! Quit staring at Juliet's foot! You have training to finish up!

EWAN:

What?! She's not my-Well, what's the point of all these chores?! What's the purpose?!

PIXIMON:

Do you really want to know?

EWAN nods.

PIXIMON:

Try to imagine this: *points around the entire floor area* The entire floor is the unknown threat's forces. There are so many of them. The way you're scrubbing represents you and your Digimon trying to handle them by yourself. *points out to NENE* Your sister and friends are going through the same thing.

JORDAN and DARCMON walk up to NENE. They both assist NENE in raking the sand.

EWAN:

Huh?

EWAN turns to DAMEMON, TARA and OPPOSSUMON scrubbing the floors alongside him.

PIXIMON:

By jove, you three are getting it now!

EWAN:

Getting what?

PIXIMON:

It's hard to handle things on your own. But, when it comes to friendship and teamwork, you get the job done faster.

EWAN:

*scratches head* ...Oh! Now, I get it!

PIXIMON nods.

EWAN:

...Wow.

PIXIMON:

Yep. As soon as you're done with the floors, you'll be free to go.

EWAN:

Thanks.

MONITAMON:

(off-screen) Miss Nene!

MONITAMON runs to NENE.

NENE:

What's wrong?

MONITAMON:

I'm sensing some enemy activity outside the temple area!

EXT. SERVER CONTINENT - DESERT AREA (OUTSIDE PIXIMON'S TEMPLE)

Establishing shot of an army of TROOPMON marching on the sand. Camera pans LEFT to a giant, cyborg Digimon named ARMORMON behind the pack.

ARMORMON:

Troopmon...lock on target.

The TROOPMON aim their orange bazookas at the invisible barrier.

Camera switches to PIXIMON's TEMPLE

ANGLE ON: MONITAMON's monitor showing the TROOPMON aiming their weapons.

PIXIMON:

(off-screen) It looks like the unknown threat is smarter than we thought.

TARA:

*to PIXIMON* What are we going to do?

EWAN:

I know what I'm going to do! *takes out Fusion Loader* Damemon-

PIXIMON:

Wait!

JORDAN:

What?

PIXIMON:

There's too many out there.

SPARROWMON:

But, you told us-

PIXIMON:

Yes, I know. But, it would be a waste of time. Think about it. Time is getting more serious. Who knows what will become of Drake if you don't find him now.

TARA and JORDAN had a moment.

JORDAN:

He's right.

EWAN:

Are you sure? 'Cause I'm pretty sure we could-

Camera switches to SERVER CONTINENT - DESERT AREA

CLOSE-UP SHOT of ARMORMON.

ARMORMON:

Fire!

The TROOPMON fire their bazookas at the invisible barrier.

Camera switches to PIXIMON'S TEMPLE.

WIDE SHOT of the area rumbling and crumbling from the attacks.

NENE:

We're heading out NOW!

NENE opens a digital portal with her Fusion Loader.

NENE:

Everybody, in!

NENE, TARA, JORDAN and their Digimon run into the portal. EWAN was entering the portal.

EWAN:

Piximon, let's go!

PIXIMON:

*readies himself* No.

EWAN:

But, you're going to-

PIXIMON:

This is my temple. I'm responsible to protect it. Don't worry about me. Fulfill your mission!

EWAN:

Okay! Good luck!

EWAN exits scene through the portal. Camera pulls in on PIXIMON with a confident face. Camera briefly switches to the TROOPMON breaking the barrier with their bazookas. The barrier was almost broken down. PIXIMON was glaring at the cracked barrier wall.

PIXIMON:

(Time to give them a cold welcome.)

The barrier breaks down and the TROOPMON enter.

Scene CUTS to:

INT. UNDERGROUND TUNNEL MAZE

ESTABLISHING SHOT of a group of DRIMOGEMON fleeing through the tunnels.

DRIMOGEMON #1:

Hurry! They're closing in on us!

DRIMOGEMON #2:

I knew we shouldn't dug those shortcuts!

The group was being chased by a group of DOKUGUMON and SOULMON. Leading the two groups was a yellow jeep driven a silver-haired woman in a red dress and hat and an elderly looking man in a blue outfit.

WOMAN:

Remind me again why did you chose this stupid place?

MAN:

Let's put it this way, my dear. Since we're underground. We'll attack as many areas by surprise. They'll never know what hit him.

WOMAN:

Still, this place is dark and we'll probably run into something.

MAN:

Relax and trust me. I know what I'm-

WOMAN:

*points out* Look out!

The jeep was heading towards a bunch of rocks blocking their path.

WOMAN:

Turn this thing around!

MAN:

But this jeep doesn't make sharp turns. In order to make a proper turn, first you need to adjust your mirrors and-

WOMAN:

Oh, forget it! *jumps off jeep*

MAN:

Wait for me, my darling! *jumps off jeep*

The jeep crashes into the rocks. The man takes out a lantern and lights it up.

MAN:

Oh, well. *tries to lean closer* At least, we still have each other.

The woman slaps him.

MAN:

Ow! What did I do?!

WOMAN:

You're hopeless! Why do I always get paired up with you?!

MAN:

Pleases, you're embarrassing me in front of my minions.

WOMAN:

Well, what about my minions? They can't see an inch in this dark tunnel!

MAN:

*turns with the lantern* My minions! They...vanish!

WOMAN:

What?! *turns* My Dokugumon! What happened to them?!

The man finds holes on the ground where the minions were standing.

MAN:

Looks like we have a rodent problem.

WOMAN:

Impossible! All the Drimogemon fled the area when we arrived.

A space in-between them on the ground was moving. The two look down on the ground.

MAN:

What...is...that?

A familiar face pops out of the ground. It was an armadillo-like Digimon.

ARMADILLOMON:

Howdy there!

MAN:

What?!

WOMAN:

Where did you come from?

ARMADILLOMON:

*blows raspberry*

ARMADILLOMON digs away into the ground.

MAN:

Do you ever get the feeling that-?

?:

Hold it right there!

The man and woman turn to a young boy standing in the distance.

WOMAN:
You?!

CODY:

I thought Armadillomon and I would run into you here.

The two start to laugh.

WOMAN:

Well, well. This is a surprise. I'm...

The woman reveals herself as ARUKENIMON.

ARUKENIMON:

...flattered.

MAN:

You know how we waited...

The man reveals himself as MUMMYMON.

MUMMYMON:

...for our revenge.*cocks gun*

CODY:

I'm not afraid of you two.

ARMADILLOMON stands besides CODY.

MUMMYMON:

Don't get your hopes up, boy.

ARUKENIMON:

This will be an easy fight. You and your mole are doomed.

ARMADILLOMON:

*to CODY* Do I really look like a mole?

CODY:

We'll talk about that later. Right now, it's time to call in the tunnel master! *takes out D-3* Digi-Armor Energize!

ARMADILLOMON:

Armadillomon armor-digivolve to...*fuses with the Digi-Egg of Knowledge*

DIGMON:

Digmon, the Drill of Power!

MUMMYMON:

(amused) Come to think of it, he does look like a mole.

ARUKENIMON:

Just shut up and attack!

CODY:

Go, Digmon!

DIGMON quickly drills into the ground.

MUMMYMON:

Snake Bandage! *fires gun*

DIGMON drills and avoids each shot.

ARUKENIMON:

I'll flush him out. Acid Mist! *sprays acids into the drilled hole*

CODY:

Digmon!

After a moment of waiting...

ARUKENIMON:

Huh?

MUMMYMON:

What gives? Isn't' he suppose to gasp for air?

DIGMON:
(off-screen) Yoo-hoo!

ARUKENIMON and MUMMYMON turn around. DIGMON was behind them.

DIGMON:

*points up* Present for ya!

ARUKENIMON and MUMMYMON look up. WORM'S EYE VIEW of a drilled open hole with the acid spraying upon the villains.

CODY:

Good trick, Digmon!

ARUKENIMON and MUMMYMON were coughing from the spray.

MUMMYMON:
*coughs* I'll need a bubble bath after this.

ARUKENIMON:

You'll pay for this!

DIGMON:

I'm just getting started. Gold Rush! *fires nose-drill and finger-drills*

The attack hits ARUKENIMON and MUMMYMON.

MUMMYMON:

Is that all you got?!

DIGMON:

No. Rock Cracking! *drills ground and creates fissure*

The fissure creates an opening while ARUKENIMON and MUMMYMON try to find a safe place.

DIGMON:

This move will send you two down under.

ARUKENIMON and MUMMYMON start fall down the fissure. But, ARUKENIMON grapples on the fissure wall with her legs and MUMMY grapples on one of her legs while dangling.

MUMMYMON:

Phew, that was a close one.

ARUKENIMON:

Nice try, kid. Your mole may be a master of tunnels, but he won't be able to master how to survive one.

CODY:

Huh? What are you-?

ARUKENIMON and MUMMYMON leap out of the fissure and escape into the dark.

CODY:

They're getting away!

DIGMON:

Let's dig after them!

CODY climbs up DIGMON and DIGMON drills after them. ARUKENIMON and MUMMYMON run deeper in to the dark tunnels.

MUMMYMON:

Would you mind telling me why are we heading deeper in the tunnels?

ARUKENIMON:

Do you still have your backup weapon in case of emergencies?

MUMMYMON:

Well, yes. But I'm not sure-

ARUKENIMON:
Just do it!

MUMMYMON sighs.

INT. UNDERGROUND CENTRAL TUNNEL

ARUKENIMON and MUMMYMON stop in the middle of the tunnel system.

ARUKENIMON:

Here it is, the tunnel of all tunnels.

MUMMYMON:

But, the boy and his mole will find us here.

ARUKENIMON:

Exactly. Now...set it up.

MUMMYMON opens a bag and takes out a bomb with a detonator on it.

CODY:

(off-screen) Stop!

CODY and DIGMON caught up to ARUKENIMON and MUMMYMON.

CODY:

What are you doing?

ARUKENIMON:

You've fallen right into our trap. Mummymon built a bomb in case of emergencies like running into brats like you.

MUMMYMON:

Once the bomb detonates, this entire tunnel system will collapse, leading you and your Digimon to your bottomless doom!

CODY:

You can't do that! The Drimogemon won't have a home if the tunnels get destroyed.

ARUKENIMON:

Too bad, then. Mummymon and I will enjoying the destruction with a nice view above the surface.

MUMMYMON:

My suggestion is that you surrender and we'll just move on with our lives.

CODY:

Never! If you're going to blow the tunnels up, then do it! But, that doesn't stop us from surrendering! I always figure a way out of any situation no matter what the danger is!

MUMMYMON:

Such a brave young man...Oh, well. Suit yourself. *detonates bomb*

DIGMON:

*whispers to CODY* Maybe you should rephrase that.

ARUKENIMON:

You're mine! *lunges forward*

CODY:

Look out!

DIGMON tries to hold back on ARUKENIMON.

DIGMON:

Boy...you weigh a ton!

ARUKENIMON:

Are you calling me fat?!

MUMMYMON:

No one dares call my sweet Arukenimon overweight! Snake Bandage! *fire guns*

The attack hits DIGMON down and reverts to ARMADILLOMON.

CODY:
Armadillomon!

ARUKENIMON:

You're next, boy!

ARUKENIMON grabs and holds CODY.

CODY:

Let me go!

ARUKENIMON:

*raises claws* This is going to hurt you more than it's going to hurt me!

?:

(off-screen) Hey!

Another young man appears from one of the tunnels.

J.P.:

Put the kid down!

MUMMYMON:

What?! Another human?!

ARUKENIMON:

How did you even wind up under here?

J.P.:

I wound up here through a digital portal when I saw a group of Drimogemon pass by. Then, I heard your voices echoing the walls and followed them here.

MUMMYMON:

How fortunate of you.

ARUKENIMON:

Just leave us alone. You're interrupting my moment!

J.P.:

No way! I'm not letting hurting that boy. He reminds of me of a kid I know. And I won't let the same thing happen to him.

MUMMYMON:

*sarcastic* Oh, I scared. *normal* But, how are you going to fight us? You don't even have a Digimon on you.

J.P.:

You don't know who're dealing with? I'm J.P. Shibayama. *pulls out D-Tector* I hold powers from the Spirits of Thunder. And I will show the power of a warrior!
