Scene CUTS to:
EXT. GOLDEN OCEAN
A giant pirate ship was sailing across the golden waters. CUT-IN shot of a telescope held by an off-screen Digimon. The Digimon points out something in the distance. Camera pans LEFT and ZOOMS IN on two silhouettes drifting on a pile of fishes shaped like a raft.
FX - *whistle*
A group of COELAMON and SEADRAMON swims toward the silhouettes in the distance.
Scene FADE to BLACK.
FADE IN:
EXT. PIRATE SHIP - MAIN DECK
Camera tilts DOWN to a familiar character laying on the deck: JOE KIDO. POV SHOT of JOE opening his eyes. Camera (JOE) pans LEFT to a familiar Digimon laying on the deck near him.
JOE:
(off-screen)...Gomamon?
GOMAMON wakes up.
GOMAMON:
...Joe?
Both JOE and GOMAMON get up.
JOE:
Where...are we?
GOMAMON:
*looks around* I don't know. It looks like we're on a pirate ship or something.
JOE:
*looks around* This...can't be possible.
GOMAMON:
Maybe it's a dream. Just to make sure...
GOMAMON pinches one of JOE's legs.
JOE:
Ow! *feels leg* What was that for?!
GOMAMON:
Sorry. *hides flippers; nervously chuckles* I guess we're awake then.
JOE:
Hey, if this is really a pirate ship, then where are the-
Suddenly, a group of DIVERMON pop out of a row of barrels near JOE and GOMAMON. JOE and GOMAMON flinch. An OCTOMON and DEPTHMON appear behind them.
GOMAMON:
*scared* Joe...?
A CRABMON and BETAMON jump down from the upper deck. The SEADRAMON and COELAMON rise out of the ocean near the deck. The Digimon were surrounding them. JOE and GOMAMON were acting really nervous and scared.
JOE:
*cries* What do you pirates want with us?!
The Digimon were closing in on JOE and GOMAMON.
?:
(off-screen; Norwegian accent) Settle down, crew.
A shadow appears and covers JOE and GOMAMON.
JOE & GOMAMON:
Pirate captain!
LOW SHOT tilts UP to FULL BODY SHOT to reveal character as a Digimon known as OLEGMON.
OLEGMON:
Eh? I ain't no pirate. I'm a Viking.
GOMAMON:
Even worse!
OLEGMON:
*hearty laughter* Don't be afraid, lads. We come in peace.
GOMAMON:
Huh?
JOE:
You mean...you're not going to hurt us?
OLEGMON:
Hurt you? We saved your lives. You two almost drown in the golden waters. Welcome aboard my vessel.
The crew were cheering alongside OLEGMON.
GOMAMON:
So...who are you exactly?
OLEGMON:
I have many names...The Gold Plunderer...The Pillaging Crusader...but you can call me Olegmon.
JOE:
Olegmon?
OLEGMON:
Or "Captain" would be more suitable.
JOE:
Okay...so what you are doing out in the golden ocean, Captain?
OLEGMON:
These golden waters are part of my domain. My crew and I have been travelling for as long as we can remember. I was once a General where my crew thirst for power and fighting. That is, until I met a young lad who taught me the ideals of respect and friendship. In return, I assisted him into defeating the strongest of enemies. Today, my crew and I begin life anew and protect the sea from scavenging thieves.
JOE and GOMAMON were surprised in awe.
GOMAMON:
That's some story, Mr. Captain, sir.
OLEGMON:
Aren't you kidding? I've never felt this good in ages.
JOE:
Well, *slowly backs off* it was fun meeting all of you. But, I think it's time for us to go and-
OCTOMON and DIVERMON block JOE's way.
JOE:
Hey!
GOMAMON:
Joe, don't be rude. We have nowhere else to go.
JOE:
But-
OLEGMON:
Listen to me, lad: the golden waters will lead you to trouble. As long as you stay aboard on my ship, we'll be at your assistance at any situation possible.
JOE:
Really?
GOMAMON:
See, Joe? There's nothing to worry ab-
OLEGMON:
However, my crew and I won't be in your service, unless you assist us in return.
JOE:
*confused* Come again?
OLEGMON:
During our sail upon the golden seas, *camera tilts DOWN to a treasure chest hidden in the ship's hold; off-screen* we have recently collected rare and valuable items.
GOMAMON:
Valuable?! Like buried treasure?!
OLEGMON:
You would be amazed what you could find in the sea. *turns to the ocean* Then suddenly, a sea serpent has appeared from the waters and followed us wherever we went.
JOE:
A...sea serpent?
OLEGMON:
Oh, yah. The beast is beyond any enemy I've faced in my journeys. It keeps attacking my ship only because it was trying to steal the treasure from us. My crew tries to fight back in each attempt, but they always gets injured as a result.
A few Digimon of OLEGMON's crew look badly injured. One DIVERMON had a spear wedged to its arm. JOE and GOMAMON had disturbed expressions upon reaction.
OLEGMON:
I fear they won't be in full strength by the time the serpent returns. For what I'm trying to clarify is that my crew is in need of a medical expert. What do you humans call them...? ...Doc-tors...?
GOMAMON:
My pal Joe's a doctor! Maybe he can help your crew!
JOE:
Wait, hold on a minute-
OLEGMON:
Excellent! *to crew* Men, let's welcome our newest addition to the crew: Doc-tor Joe!
The crew cheers in response. JOE nervously smiles and waves at the Digimon.
OLEGMON:
Please, allow my first mate to settle you two in. *calls* Mermaimon!
A Mermaid-like Digimon slides down from the crow's nest with a rope.
MERMAIMON:
Yes, Captain?
OLEGMON:
Please escort our newest members to their cabin.
MERMAIMON:
*salutes* As you wish. *to JOE and GOMAMON* Follow me.
JOE and GOMAMON follow MERMAIMON across the deck.
INT. OLEGMON'S SHIP - CABIN ROOM
MERMAIMON escorts JOE and GOMAMON inside their cabin room.
MERMAIMON:
Please make yourselves comfortable, gentlemen. We'll return when you're ready. *exits cabin*
GOMAMON jumps onto one of the cabin's hammocks.
GOMAMON:
*relaxes* Ah, isn't it great, Joe?
JOE:
"Great"? "GREAT"?! Gomamon, don't you realize what you just said out there?!
GOMAMON:
Relax, buddy. Everything's going to be peachy. You are a doctor, after all.
JOE:
I'm still studying to be a doctor! I'm not officially a doctor yet! I haven't even applied for college yet! What were you thinking?!
GOMAMON:
Geez, I'm sorry. I sorta felt touched after hearing the captain's story. He sounded pretty desperate when that "sea serpent" keeps hurting his crew.
JOE:
Oh, he'll be "desperate" enough when he figures out you've lied to him about me. I bet he'll make us walk the plank!
GOMAMON:
Joe, Olegmon is a Viking; not a pirate. Only pirates make people walk the plank.
JOE:
Whatever! I'm just worried that I might mess up in front of the crew.
GOMAMON:
The best you could do is to not worry about it. Just think only about what you know from your studies. Hey, who knows? Helping out the crew would make an early opportunity of being a doctor. Plus, when the crew is healed, we'll be there to help them fight off that monster.
JOE:
...
GOMAMON:
Come on, Joe. Don't miss this out for the world. You can do it...because...I believe in you.
JOE:
Gomamon...*sighs* All right. I guess I'll give it a shot.
GOMAMON:
Great! And nice doctor metaphor, by the way.
JOE:
...Yeah, I guess it is.
Camera ZOOMS OUT through the cabin to the exterior bottom of the ship under the golden waters. A silhouette resembling a serpent swims by it.
EXT. OLEGMON'S SHIP - MAIN DECK
Each crew member was in line for their diagnosis from JOE.
GOMAMON:
(off-screen) Next.
A GIZAMON with a bruise on its noggin was walking towards JOE. JOE had his medical bag open while he looks at the bruise.
JOE:
Looks like you have a bad bruise.
JOE takes out an ice pack and places it over the bruise.
JOE:
Just keep holding the ice onto the bruise; it will get the swelling down.
The GIZAMON smiles and leaves.
GOMAMON:
Next.
A DEPTHMON was coughing while JOE gives it a small cup of cough medicine.
JOE:
Take a sip out of this and you'll be better within a week.
DEPTHMON nods and leaves.
GOMAMON:
Next.
The DIVERMON with the spear-wedged arm enters. JOE and GOMAMON look surprised at the spear.
JOE:
(Okay, this is going to be a challenge.)
JOE puts on latex gloves and examines the arm.
JOE:
Looks like we have to pull it off-
DIVERMON:
Eh?!
JOE:
-gently so the pressure will be less painful.
JOE softly touches the spear and DIVERMON was looking scared and nervous.
GOMAMON:
Hey, Mr. Divermon...*DIVERMON turns to GOMAMON* how did that spear get lodged in your arm?
DIVERMON:
Oh, that's kind of an unusual story, lad. You see what happen was-
FX - *poink*
DIVERMON:
Oh!
Camera quickly pans LEFT to JOE who removed the spear off-screen.
JOE:
Good job calming Divermon down, Gomamon. Now to apply a little spray.
JOE lightly sprays the arm wound which DIVERMON felt the stinging pain.
JOE:
I know it stings, but that's how you know it's working.
JOE calmly gives stitches to cover up the wound.
JOE:
There you go. These stitches will hold you up for a few days and your arm will be better.
DIVERMON smiles with glee.
DIVERMON:
Thank you, Doc-tor Joe. *leaves*
JOE walks off.
GOMAMON:
Doctor Joe will be taking a short break. He'll be back with you shortly. *follows JOE*
JOE leans against a wall alongside GOMAMON.
GOMAMON:
...Well?
JOE:
"Well" what?
GOMAMON:
Aren't you going to say it?
JOE:
Say what?
GOMAMON:
You know...
JOE:
...*chuckles* All right. You were right; I was wrong. You don't have to rub it in.
GOMAMON:
*embarrassed* Yeah.
JOE:
I have to admit it: treating these Digimon wasn't that hard. Most of their diagnostics needed simple treatment.
GOMAMON:
You're lucky that you didn't have to perform a tonsillectomy.
JOE:
Yeah, if I did, I would pass out right this second.
JOE and GOMAMON laugh.
MERMAIMON:
(off-screen) Captain!
Camera tilts UP to MERMAIMON on the crow's nest looking out through her telescope. OLEGMON enters scene.
OLEGMON:
What is it, Mermaimon?
MERMAIMON:
*points out* Thar she blows!
Camera pans LEFT to a silhouette swimming in from the background.
OLEGMON:
(It has returned.)
A CRABMON was steering the ship as it starts sailing toward the silhouette.
OLEGMON:
*shouts* Crew, the beast is near! Upload the cannons, adjust the sails and prepare the traps! This is not a drill! Repeat: this is not a drill!
The crew were following under OLEGMON's orders. The ship was almost near the silhouette. OLEGMON was preparing his tomahawks. JOE and GOMAMON run to OLEGMON.
OLEGMON:
Lads, this is your lucky day. You're about to witness a struggle against Digi-man and Digi-beast!
sp
JOE:
We'll be by our side at all costs, Captain!
GOMAMON:
Yeah, bring on the sea serpent! We can handle it!
The ship stops near the silhouette. The silhouette starts sinking in the ocean.
'
OLEGMON:
What? Where are you, serpent?! Come out and fight like a Digi-man!
The "sea serpent" rises out of the sea and jumps over the ship. Camera SPEED setting to SLOW-MOTION. OVERHEARD VIEW of JOE and GOMAMON's expressions changed from excited to shocked expressions. Camera reveals FULL BODY SHOT of the "sea serpent" as a giant, golden metallic sea dragon Digimon known as...
JOE:
(No way...)
GOMAMON:
(MetalSeadramon...)
Camera SPEED resumes to normal. METALSEADRAMON splashes down over the other side where the ocean water shakes the ship off too hard. JOE and GOMAMON run to
the edge of the ship. METALSEADRAMON emerges from the ocean with a battle-ready face.
GOMAMON:
*scared* Joe...?
JOE:
*scared* Yeah...?
GOMAMON:
*scared* I think we're going to need a bigger boat.
