EXT. ABANDONED TRAINYARD - SOUTHERN AREA
Each TRAILMON stop at the end of the track. The group drops off of TRAILMON (ANGLER). The captive Digimon exit of TRAILMONS (Worm) and (Mole). All of them turn and witness the oil refinery burning out in the distance.
MIMI:
We...did it.
The oil refinery stops burning as the sky changes from DARK and CLOUDY to BRIGHT and CLEAR.
ANDROMON:
Mission accomplished.
All of the captive Digimon were cheering while group smiles upon their delight. LILLYMON reverts to PALMON and SAKUYAMON reverts back to RIKA and RENAMON. SHADOWWEREGARURUMON and DOGGYMON exit off TRAILMON (Buffalo) and walk to the group.
ANDROMON:
Thank you, Brother Digimon. You have literally overthrew the overlord with sheer force.
RIKA:
I don't get it. Where did you guys go when we needed you?
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
Well...how do I put this?
TRAILMON (BUFFALO):
Don't worry. I'll explain. *clears throat* When ShadowWereGarurumon and Doggymon found me, I thought they were gonna take me away. But then, SahdowWereGarurumon started crying. At first, I thought it was a trick. But, after looking deep into them, it made me realize that a rider actually admitted his connection to his rider.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
So, we took a cruise around the tracks, busted up a few armored trains. When we saw that giant Digimon chasing youse, we decide to strike at the right moment.
PALMON:
Wow!
RIKA:
Clever.
DATAMON (FRONTIER):
Ingenious.
ROACHMON BROTHER #2:
Whoa, whoa! Wait a minute...ShadowWereGarurumon was crying? *laughs*
ROACHMON BROTHER #1:
Looks like the Big Bad Wolf's gone soft! *laughs along*
DOGGYMON throws a bomb at the two and explodes at them in a comical fashion.
ROACHMON BROTHERS:
...Sorry.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON walks to MIMI and PALMON.
SHADOWWEREGARURUMON:
I owe my gratitude to you, kid. Thank you.
MIMI:
You're welcome.
DOGGYMON licks MIMI and PALMON hard. MIMI and PALMON's faces were a little covered in slobber.
MIMI:
*disgusted; forcefully smiles* Thank you, Doggymon.
PALMON:
Good...boy.
SUKAMON tugs onto MIMI's skirt.
SUKAMON:
*sing-song* Oh, Mimi?
MIMI:
Hmm?
MIMI turns to SUKAMON and CHUUMON.
CHUUMON:
We saved your live.
SUKAMON:
You owe us a kiss!
CHUUMON:
Yeah, a deal's a deal!
MIMI was nervous and disgusted for a moment. She then thought of something.
MIMI:
Yep, you're right. A deal's a deal.
RENAMON:
She can't be serious.
MIMI:
*whispers; to RENAMON* Trust me. *to SUKAMON & CHUUMON* Okay, you two. Close your eyes and pucker up.
SUKAMON and CHUUMON happily followed the orders. MIMI turns away and puts DOGGYMON in her place. DOGGYMON then licks them and puts MIMI back in her position. SUKAMON and CHUUMON open their eyes.
SUKAMON & CHUUMON:
Wow!
CHUUMON:
I'll never wash my face again.
MIMI chuckles and gives a thumbs up to DOGGYMON. RIKA smiles and walks to TRAILMON (Angler).
RIKA:
Trailmon?
TRAILMON (ANGLER):
Hmm?
RIKA:
*embarrassed* ...Sorry about...my behavior earlier. Can you forgive me?
TRAILMON (ANGLER):
Forgive you? You organized this whole mission to save me! That's zee most kindest and generous thing anyone's ever done for me!
RIKA:
*blushes* Thanks.
TRAILMON (ANGLER):
In return, I am in forever debt as to offer you zee most quiet and relaxing trip to zee center of zee universes.
MIMI and PALMON smile upon the offer and turn to ANDROMON.
ANDROMON:
I believe you two know what to do.
PALMON:
Come with us.
ANDROMON:
Negative. I must stay and help guide these Digimon to a safe and newer salvation.
TRAILMON (WORM):
I don't know where each portal would take us.
TRAILMON (MOLE):
But as long as we stick together, we will survive to the fittest.
MIMI:
I'm sure you will. *to ANDROMON* Thanks for everything, Andromon.
PALMON:
Good luck!
ANDROMON:
Likewise. *to RIKA* Farewell, Rika. *salutes*
RIKA salutes back. The ROACHMON BROTHERS were waving but one of them pushes the other. The two then start fighting again. DATAMON was waving. SHADOWWEREGARURUMON was leaning against TRAILMON (Buffalo) and gives a smirk to MIMI. DOGGYMON tries to lean but slips down. SUKAMON & CHUUMON were waving with CHUUMON giving a "call me" hand me gesture to MIMI. MIMI, RIKA, PALMON and RENAMON enter TRAILMON (Angler).
TRAILMON (ANGLER):
All aboard!
TRAILMON (ANGLER) rides to the central crossed tracks as a digital portal opens. TRAILMON (ANGLER) enters portal and disappears.
SCENE CUTS to:
EXT. DIGITAL GRID - "DESERT" AREA
HACKMON was travelling with CALUMON lying on his back looking at the scattering binary code sky.
CALUMON:
Hackmon?
HACKMON:
What is it, Calumon?
CALUMON:
Do you get the feeling that sky looks boring after staring at it for a long time?
HACKMON:
What do you mean?
CALUMON:
When I look at the sky, I always see these numbers flying around. It feels annoying.
HACKMON:
Those numbers are binary codes. They scatter in the sky because data is being processed and transferred between digital fields.
CALUMON:
That doesn't answer my question.
HACKMON:
You would know if you understood.
CALUMON:
Another thing that bothers me is that we've been walking too long. I can't even tell if it's night or day.
HACKMON:
Night...and day?
CALUMON:
Yeah!
HACKMON starts to become puzzled.
CALUMON:
Wait...you don't know what day and night is?
HACKMON looks more puzzled.
HACKMON:
Is it...a name for an algorithm?
CALUMON:
Algo-what-No! Day and night tell the time of the day.
HACKMON:
I...don't follow.
CALUMON:
Well, look up with me and I'll show you.
CALUMON and HACKMON look up at the binary code sky.
CALUMON:
Now, what do you see?
WORM's EYE VIEW of the binary code sky.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) I see only binary code.
CALUMON:
Yes, but if you use your imagination, you will see-
HACKMON:
Imagi...nation?
CALUMON:
Yeah!
HACKMON:
I...don't understand how the term works.
CALUMON:
You don't know how to use your imagination?
HACKMON:
What does-?
CALUMON:
I'll teach you!
HACKMON sighs.
CALUMON:
Okay, look at the sky again.
HACKMON looks up.
CALUMON:
Now, close your eyes.
HACKMON:
Close my eyes?
CALUMON:
Uh-huh!
HACKMON:
Okay...?
HACKMON's POV SHOT of his eyes closed. The screen is black.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) Calumon, I don't see anything. What am I suppose to do?
CALUMON:
(off-screen) Imagine.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) How?! Nothing's happening!
CALUMON:
(off-screen) Just think of the words I will say and the image will appear in your head.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) Sounds like a computer hack to me.
CALUMON:
(off-screen) Just give it a try. Trust me.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) ...Okay.
CALUMON:
(off-screen) Good. Now, imagine the sky being dark and black. Then all of a sudden, a spark of light starts brightening up the darkness.
A spark of light appears in HACKMON's POV as it grows and shines brighter. The light forms into a large bright mass of light sand rays. The sky turns to blue.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) I...see it. It's...magnificent. An orb of light brightening the sky in a blue color. What do you call it?
CALUMON:
(off-screen) That's the sun. It gives light, heat and energy during the day.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) The sun...
CALUMON:
(off-screen) Just don't stare at it too long. You'll go blind.
HACKMON's POV SHOT pushes the into the distance.
CALUMON:
(off-screen) Now, imagine the ground having the color brown.
The ground appears under the sun and sky.
CALUMON:
(off-screen) Try to imagine it being green.
The green colors start growing from the ground.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) What is this green matter?
CALUMON:
(off-screen) Grass, silly! It's a growing type of plant.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) Plant?
CALUMON:
(off-screen) There are a many types of plants, like blooming flowers...
Flowers grew under the grass.
CALUMON:
(off-screen) ...and tall brown plants with green on top. Those are called trees.
Trees appeared near the ground.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) These plants look...well structured and interesting.
CALUMON:
(off-screen) I know, right? Do you feel thirsty?
HACKMON:
(off-screen) Yes?
CALUMON:
(off-screen) Then, imagine a gush of blue rushing through the land.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) Is this...water?
CALUMON:
(off-screen) Yes. Very refreshing.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) Do Digimon...enjoy this?
CALUMON:
(off-screen) Why not you figure it out yourself?
Various Digimon appear and play and roam the field.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) I see them! They are having...fun.
CALUMON:
(off-screen) See? I told ya.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) Can this experience ever get more interesting?
CALUMON:
(off-screen) Yes. Imagine the light diming to the sky to black.
The sun sets in the sky and the sky turns black.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) Now what?
CALUMON:
(off-screen) Imagine a bunch of tiny sparkles spreading across the sky.
The sparkles appear which lights the black sky.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) What are those things? They look...cosmic.
CALUMON:
(off-screen) Those are stars.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) What do they do?
CALUMON:
(off-screen) Nothing much. I could see them miles and miles away in the night sky.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) So, this is night?
CALUMON:
(off-screen) Yeah. Sometimes, you could count the stars or find constellations.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) Constellations?
CALUMON:
(off-screen) Some stars connect and form into different shapes. Every time I look at the stars, I see my friends' faces in the sky.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) Friends?
An constellation image of the SISTERMON briefly appears in the sky. A shooting sky then passes by in the sky.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) Calumon, I witnessed a star shooting in the sky. What do you call it?
CALUMON:
(off-screen) A shooting star. They say if you see a shooting star, you would make a wish.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) A...wish?
The screen goes black for a moment.
HACKMON:
(off-screen) (Wait, what is this?)
The screen then flashes to the following brief imagery: two silhouettes at a dungeon, a giant silhouette confronts them, one of the silhouette protects the other, the defendant then grows in size from energy. The screen flashes white. HACKMON opens his eyes and shakes his head.
CALUMON:
Hackmon, what happened?!
HACKMON:
I'm...fine. I have to be honest. It was quite an experience you taught me.
CALUMON:
Do you at least make your wish?
HACKMON:
I...think so.
CALUMON:
Oh, goodie!
HACKMON:
(Those images that I just witnessed...was it a vision of my wish?)
CALUMON:
Hackmon? What did you wish for?
HACKMON regains his senses and ponders for a moment.
HACKMON:
I wished...
CALUMON listens carefully.
HACKMON:
...that I would witness the outside world you described.
CALUMON:
Really?
HACKMON:
Yes, if the world is bright and colorful as you described it, I believe it would help shape my destiny.
CALUMON:
Then, we better find a portal if we want to get out of here.
HACKMON:
...No.
CALUMON:
Huh?
HACKMON:
There's something I must accomplish first.
CALUMON:
What are you-?
HACKMON starts running while CALUMON hangs onto his scarf.
CALUMON:
Hey! Slow down! Where are we going?!
HACKMON:
...Home.
HACKMON keeps on running through the "desert".
Scene CUTS to:
EXT. SHEER VALLEY - RIVER FIELD
An eleven-year-old girl wearing tomboyish clothes and a bird Digimon were travelling through near the flowing water. The two characters reveal to be SORA TAKENOUCHI and BIYOMON. BIYOMON was getting exhausted after flapping in mid-air.
BIYOMON:
Hey, Sora. Can we take a break? My wings are getting ruffled.
SORA:
Sure.
SORA and BIYOMON stop and sit on a big rock. SORA takes out a canteen and opens it. SORA notices the canteen is empty.
SORA:
(Guess I'll better refill this.)
SORA walks to the river and refills the canteen. While refilling, SORA looked depressed as BIYOMON took notice.
BIYOMON:
What's wrong, Sora?
SORA:
(off-screen) Nothing.
BIYOMON:
Sure doesn't look like nothing.
SORA walks back to the rock and takes a sip from the canteen.
BIYOMON:
(off-screen) Come on. No need to be embarrassed. I'm here for ya.
SORA offers BIYOMON the canteen as BIYOMON takes a sip from it.
SORA:
*sighs* I don't know, Biyomon. We've been walking through this valley for a long time now. Even though this river is keeping us hydrated, it's hard to tell where we'll end up.
BIYOMON:
Don't be silly. *gives canteen back to SORA* Just be glad that we have this river for a clue. I bet this water is flowing to civilization beyond its direction.
SORA:
Probably. *tilts head* But, I don't think it'll help us reach Tai and the others. *holds her knees* We always looked for each other. I can't imagine how they are surviving without us.
BIYOMON tires to comfort SORA.
BIYOMON:
Aw, Sora. Don't be like that.
SORA didn't answer.
BIYOMON:
Sora?
BIYOMON expressed concern and looks around for a moment. BIYOMON then spotted something from off-screen. CLOSE-IN SHOT of SORA still depressed. Suddenly, a head of a yellow dog-like sock puppet appears in front of her.
BIYOMON:
(off-screen; raspy voice) Hello there, little girl. Why the long face?
SORA:
Hmm?
BIYOMON:
(off-screen) Something's troubling ya. I can tell. It might be serious.
SORA:
Wait, *tilts head up* who are-?
SORA's POV SHOT of the puppet in an EXTREME-CLOSE UP SHOT. SORA screams and falls over the rock.
BIYOMON:
*laughs; normal voice* You should've seen the look on your face!
SORA:
*gets up* Biyomon, that was not funny! *grabs sock puppet* You think pulling a prank on me with this sock puppet would actually- *pauses; looks at puppet* Wait...where did you find this puppet anyway?
BIYOMON:
*points out* I found it on the ground over there.
SORA turns to the spot on the ground where BIYOMON found it.
SORA:
Looks like you've found more than a puppet.
There is a trail of footprints near the spot.
BIYOMON:
(off-screen) Footprints? Then, that means...
SORA:
There must be somebody living in this valley that might help us.
BIYOMON:
See? I told this river would lead to civilization.
SORA:
Come on! Let's follow them!
SORA runs and BIYOMON flies as they follow the trail of footprints. The two went deeper into the valley.
EXT. SHEER VALLEY - RIVER FIELD (CONT'D)
BIYOMON:
I think we're getting closer!
SORA:
*looks up* Huh?
SORA and BIYOMON then stop and take notice. The trail of footprints ends with them standing near a giant wooden fence barricading their path.
BIYOMON:
What is that thing?
SORA:
It looks like a giant fence.
BIYOMON:
I don't get it. Should this river or footprints lead to civilization?
SORA:
Unless, civilization is behind this fence.
SORA walks up to the fence and knocks on it.
SORA:
*calls out* Hello?
No answer. SORA knocks again.
SORA:
*calls out* Hello? Anybody in there? We mean no harm. We have come for help!
Still no answer. SORA walks back to BIYOMON.
SORA:
This is so strange, Biyomon. Nobody hears us.
BIYOMON:
If you think that's strange, look at the river.
SORA notices that a bunch of rocks have blocked the flowing river near the fence.
BIYOMON:
(off-screen) All of these rocks are keeping the water from entering the fence.
SORA:
Why would someone block the river with rocks? It's like they forgot that water is suppose to provide food and moisture to the valley.
BIYOMON:
I'm getting a feeling that the people must be suffering from thirst by now.
SORA:
I don't know what's going on, but we're getting to the bottom of this mystery.
BIYOMON:
Don't you mean the top of this?
SORA:
...Yes? *pulls out Digivice* But, I know definitely where you're going.
BIYOMON nods.
BIYOMON:
Biyomon digivolve to...
BIRDRAMON:
Birdramon!
BIRDRAMON flies up to the top of the fence with SORA riding on one of her talons.
SORA:
See anything, Birdramon?
BIRDRAMON sees a thick fog on the other side of the fence.
BIRDRAMON:
It's foggy up here. I can't see an inch. Shall I recommend higher altitude?
SORA:
Good idea.
BIRDRAMON flies up and through the troposphere over the the other side of the valley.
EXT. SHEER VALLEY - SKYLINE
BIRDRAMON lowers SORA through the fog while flying through the sky.
SORA:
How's the sky look?
BIRDRAMON:
Cloudy with a chance of winds. Any luck?
SORA:
*looking hard* No...not yet...
Suddenly, a wave of arrows from below were firing towards them.
SORA:
*gasps* Birdramon!
BIRDRAMON flies above the fog as an maneuver to avoid the wave.
BIRDRAMON:
Sora, what just happened?!
SORA:
I'm getting the feeling that we're not alone.
More waves of arrows were firing at them.
BIRDRAMON:
Hang on!
BIRDRAMON flies faster through the fog while avoiding each wave.
BIRDRAMON:
Who keeps firing at us?!
EXT. SHEER VALLEY - DEFENSIVE BRIDGE AREA
A group of Armor-level Digimon known as SAGITTARIMON were on a bridge where they are firing their arrows through the fog.
SAGGITARIMON:
Keep firing with might! Don't let that flying outsider!
EXT. SHEER VALLEY - SKYLINE
SORA:
We can't keep dodging forever!
BIRDRAMON:
Then, they'll have a taste of...Meteor Wing! *fires flames from her wings*
EXT. SHEER VALLEY - DEFENSIVE BRIDGE AREA
The attack was hurdling towards the bridge.
SAGITTARIMON:
Evasive action!
The group evades as the attack hits the bridge where the flames block their view.
SAGITTARIMON:
Scatter!
EXT. SHEER VALLEY - SKYLINE
SORA:
Looks like they stopped attacking.
BIRDRAMON:
Good. That would keep them busy for now.
SORA:
We better land somewhere safe.
BIRDRAMON lowers into the valley.
SCENE CUTS to:
INT. SHEER VALLEY - ?
A SAGITTARIMON enters inside a undisclosed location where appears to be a tent. A silhouette was meditating near a small shrine in the corner. A PONCHOMON and NOHEMON were in guard.
SAGITTARIMON:
*kneels* Chief, I have brought unbearable news!
PONCHOMON:
Shh! *whispers* The chief is meditating.
NOHEMON:
*whispers* We will answer for him.
SAGITTARIMON:
Oh. *clears throat; whispers* Please inform him that we have spotted an outsider from the sky. What is the solution to our advantage?
PONCHOMON whispers the information to the silhouette as the silhouette briefly whispers back to PONCHOMON.
PONCHOMON:
The chief orders you spread out the strongest of our tribe across the valley in order to capture this outsider.
The SAGITTARIMON kneels in respect and exits scene. The silhouette rose up from his meditating state.
?:
We can't let any more outsiders disturb our sacred land. We must gather up the tribe and prepare the ceremony as soon as possible.
PONCHOMON & NOHEMON:
*kneel; in unison* Yes, our noble Chief.
SCENE CUTS to:
EXT. SHEER VALLEY - MOUNTAIN PEAK
BIRDRAMON quickly reverts back to BIYOMON as she lowers herself and SORA to the ground behind a boulder.
BIYOMON:
Man, that was a close one.
SORA:
Where do you think we are now?
BIYOMON:
I'm guessing somewhere safe with no violence
SORA:
I'm gonna take a quick look.
BIYOMON:
Okay, be careful.
SORA peeks from behind the boulder and looks down the peak. Camera PULLS AWAY to reveal the valley to be inhabited my various Armor-level Digimon. Most of the Digimon walking through various peaks and bridges while working various chores to survive the dry land. A couple of PRAIRIEMON were constantly digging the ground but one of them was exhausted and collapsed. A few other Armor Digimon try to help it up. SORA expresses concern for observing the predicament.
?:
(off-screen) Soldiers!
SORA quickly hides back into the boulder and carefully took a tiny peek.
EXT. SHEER VALLEY - SOLDIER TENT AREA
A KANGARUMON, CHAMELEMON, SHADRAMON and MAILDRAMON as they line up in a boot camp-like fashion. The SAGITARRIMON was giving orders like a drill sergeant.
SAGITTARIMON:
As you may know this valley is suffering under famine and our chief is providing enough guidance to keep this land under order. Unfortunately, we have recently encountered an outsider from the sky, plaguing our secrecy. The chief has ordered each and every one of us to scatter the area to search and bring this demon down to the ground. We must not let this distract us from our duty. Understand?
The Digimon nod in response.
SAGITTARIMON:
Good. In case you inform me, I will be present at the prisoner tent. Now, go!
The Digimon started spreading out as the SAGITTARIMON exits scene.
EXT. SHEER VALLEY - MOUNTAIN PEAK
SORA hides back from behind the boulder all puzzled.
BIYOMON:
Sora, what happened?
SORA:
I just don't understand about this place.
BIYOMON:
What do you mean?
SORA:
The Digimon are suffering because there is no water, even though there is a wall separating the water from the valley.
BIYOMON:
Then, why did they attack us?
SORA:
I don't know. But, I believe their "chief" might have something to do with this.
BIYOMON:
Good thinking. I'll just fly us up and-
SORA:
We can't! There are Digimon patrolling the valley. If they see us, we're done for.
BIYOMON:
Then, what should we do?
SORA:
I'm thinking. *carefully peeks through the boulder* The only place I would investigate is the prisoner tent.
BIYOMON:
Prisoner tent?
SORA:
I believe this *holds puppet* is where we'll find our missing link.
BIYOMON:
Well, you better think of something fast. I don't wanna end up like all roasted and basted.
SORA was carefully observing SAGGITARIMON's path to the prisoner tent and ponders for a moment.
BIYOMON:
(off-screen) Sora?
SORA then had an inkling and turns to BIYOMON.
SORA:
Okay, I have an idea. But, it's risky.
BIYOMON looked a little nervous.
SCENE CUTS to:
EXT. SHEER VALLEY - OUTER BRIDGE AREA
Each of the scattered Digimon were patrolling the area while passing through the tribes-Digimon.
FX - *screech*
KANGARUMON:
What was that?!
The soldiers see BIRDRAMON flying through the skyline.
EXT. SHEER VALLEY - OUTER BRIDGE AREA
MAILDRAMON:
*took notice* It's the sky demon!
SHADRAMON:
Attack!
Each of the scattered soldiers chase after BIRDRAMON while aiming and launching their attacks. Camera PANS RIGHT to SORA emerging from a rock near the bridge.
SORA:
(Birdramon should buy these soliders their time till we get this sorted out.)
SORA quietly sneaks around the valley. She rolls from rock to rock without being spotted by the Digimon.
EXT. SHEER VALLEY - VILLAGE GROUNDS
SORA was hiding by a tent near a campfire and spots a giant cloth drying above the fire and grabs it. SORA then wraps it around her as a disguise and starts walking through the village. The tribes-Digimon were exhausted and failed to take notice of SORA.
SORA:
(Those poor Digimon. They don't have the energy to keep up.)
FX - *cough*
SORA notices a young RABBITMON coughing from thirst and collapses.
SORA:
*gasps*
SORA runs to the RABBITMON and tries to comfort it.
SORA:
Are you alright?
The RABBITMON noticed SORA.
RABBITMON:
Who...are...?
SORA:
Save your breath.
SORA takes out her canteen.
RABBITMON:
What is that thing?
SORA:
Water.
RABBITMON:
Wat...
SORA:
Drink it. You need this more than I do.
The RABBITMON takes a sip from the canteen and was able to stay hydrated.
RABBITMON:
T-thank you. Are you an angel sent from the sky?
SORA:
No, but I become to ask one question: Where is the prison tent?
RABBITMON turns to the direction.
RABBITMON:
Beyond up this hill. But, beware of the guard. Nobody exits this tent until the ceremony.
SORA:
What ceremony?
RABBITMON:
Well, it's...
?:
(off-screen) Hey, who's there?!
RABBITMON:
Go! Save yourself, water-bearer.
SORA nods and runs off as just as NOHEMON and PONCHOMON enter scene.
NOHEMON:
Hey, kid. Did you see anything suspicious around here?
RABBITMON:
No?
PONCHOMON:
Hmm...are you sure?
RABBITMON:
Yes.
PONCHOMON:
...Okay, carry on.
NOHEMON and PONCHOMON were about to exit scene until the crow on NOHEMON notices a trail of water drops on the ground.
FX -*caws*
NOHEMON:
What?! What?!
NOHEMON and PONCHOMON notice the trail and smirk evilly.
PONCHOMON:
So, something is here.
RABBITMON looked a little nervous upon guilt. PONCHOMON and NOHEMON followed the trail.
EXT. SHEER VALLEY - SKYLINE
BIRDRAMON continues flying while the soldiers and the SAGITTARIMON were chasing through various bridges to attack.
BIRDRAMON:
(Oh, I don't how long I should outrun them. Sora, hurry.)
EXT. SHEER VALLEY - PRISON TENT AREA
The SAGGITARIMON from earlier was guarding the outside of the tent. SORA was sneaking around the corners of the tent without being spotted.
SORA:
(How am I suppose to distract the guard?)
PONCHOMON:
(off-screen) We're getting closer!
NOHEMON:
(off-screen) Yeah, there's probably more water ahead!
SORA turns and her POV SHOT shows that the cap of the canteen was half-open and lead a trail of dripping water. PONCHOMON and NOHEMON were following the trail from the distance. SORA became nervous and looks around while pondering. SORA then thought of something. SORA threw some drops over near the guard to make the trail end. SORA then picks up a rock and throws it at the SAGITTARIMON when he wasn't looking. The rocks hits its face.
SAGITTARIMON:
Ow!
SOIRA quickly hides inside the tent as PONCHOMON and NOHEMON enter scene.
PONCHOMON:
Sagittarimon, what happened?
NOHEMON:
Did you see any trespassers around here?
SAGITTARIMON:
*rubs head* No, but I think I just found two immature children throwing pranks on me!
NOHEMON:
Huh?
SAGITTARIMON:
Admit that you threw something at me!
PONCHOMON:
We didn't throw anything!
SAGITTARIMON:
Don't you lie! *aims bow and arrow* Do not distract me from my duty!
NOHEMON:
We didn't do it!
PONCHOMON:
We're just following this trail-
INT. PRISON TENT
SORA was inside listening to the muffled conversation outside.
SORA:
(That would get those two off my back.)
FX - *quiet sobbing*
SORA:
*turns* Huh?
SORA notices a young girl crying in the corner with her hands tied to a pole. SORA takes out the dog puppet and checks upon it with the girl nearby. CLOSE-UP SHOT of the girl crying.
SORA:
(off-screen) Excuse me?
The girl notices SORA holding the dog puppet to her face.
SORA:
I think you've dropped this.
