Digimon Adventure 02, Episode 7: Guardian Angel
Yolei narrates, "It was great meeting Mimi, who was visiting from America. She's so glamourous! We all decided to spend our Saturday picnicking in the Digital World. Everything was going great, except for the food fight, when some of us got separated and fell into a new area that was controlled by a control Spire! That's why the Gekomon didn't remember Mimi! But luckily, Palmon remembered her and saved us from them. Not only that, but we met Ogremon and an Elecmon who is the reborn Leomon who were the original DigiDestined's allies during their fight against evil Digimon called the Dark Masters. They were happy to see each other, but we weren't happy to see the Roachmon Brothers! However, we made them destroy the Control Spire for us! I wish Mimi was staying. I almost feel like we're sisters!"
We skip the theme song
We open up with the combined forces of Flamedramon, Halsemon, Digmon, Pegasusmon, and Nefrtimon destroying another Control Spire.
Halsemon, "Tempest Wing!"
Pegasusmon, "Star Shower!"
Nefertimon, "Rosetta Stone!"
"Alright! That's twelve more control spires destroyed!" Izzy praised as he monitors the black squares switching to white.
In the Digital World, Birdramon descends after destroying a Control Spire along with the new DigiDestined.
"Yeah!" Sora cheered.
"Bidramon has managed to clear out the Control Spire in this area here," Izzy said.
Meanwhile, Ikkaukumon and Togemon contributed with the destruction of the Control Spires as several enslaved Digimon trying to stop them.
The Digimon enslaved by the Digimon Emperor were Nanimon and Goblimon. Ikkaukumon and Togemon liberated the Goblimon and Nanimon. Once their Dark Rings were destroyed, they all ran, fearing of being enslaved by the Digimon Emperor again.
"Also, Togemon and Ikkakumon has also accomplished destroying the Control Spires in these areas here," Izzy said.
"Great job as always, Ikkakumon," Joe praised.
In the Digital World, Tai is riding on Greymon as he stood over the destroyed Control Spire. In the next area, Matt is riding on Garurumon after destroying a Control Spire.
"According to the map, Greymon is finished in the area, and he's moving on to the next. Garurumon is doing the same thing! There's still one more Control Spire to destroy today," Izzy said.
"Maybe Greymon can get that one, too," Matt said.
"I don't think he can. Looks like he's too far from that area," Tai said.
"Tai's right," Izzy agreed.
"In that case, we'll have to do it ourselves!" Davis said.
Meanwhile, the DigiDestined have come to the next area controlled by the Digimon Emperor; a dome city in the middle of the desert.
As the DigiDestined discovered the Control Spire, they're suddenly attacked by an army of enslaved Guardromon.
"Intruder! Intruder!" The Guardromon chanted as they marched and fired rockets from their arms. The Digimon Analyzer activates.
"I am Garudromon. Whoever enters the premises will become victims of my Grenade Destroyer attack," one of the Guardromon said. The Digimon Analyzer deactivates.
"Gold Rush!" Digmon shouted, firing his drills at the robotic Digimon, destroying the Dark Rings on a few Guardromon.
"Star Shower!" Pegasusmon shouted, bringing down stars, destroying some of the Dark Rings.
"Fire Rocket!" Flamedramon shouted, firing fireballs at a couple of Guardromon, destroying their Dark Rings. The Guardromon kept on coming.
"There must be a hundred of them!" Davis exclaimed.
"Wow, you counted that high without even taking off your shoes and socks!" Yolei said.
"I think...now's a good time to go back to our world, we can come up with a new plan," TK said.
"TK's right. We can talk to Izzy," Yolei said.
"Intruder! Intruder!" The Guardromon chanted. Davis wasn't willing to call it quits.
"Are you guys crazy? Quit now? I've never been a quitter!" Davis stated.
"I agree. Davis, let's regroup!" Flamedramon said as he and Digmon de-Digivolved. Their DigiEggs returned to their D-Terminals.
"Davis, don't be so stubborn! There are far too many of them! We have to get out of here while we can!" TK argued.
"I agree. We have to hurry!" Kari said.
Veemon and Armadillomon ran back to their partners as the Guardromon kept coming. Davis knew his teammates were right, so he relented, knowing he had no choice but to retreat.
"Oh, alright. Head for the gate!" Davis shouted as he and the DigiDestined and the Digimon ran for it. While they ran, Pegasusmon, Halsemon, and Nefertimon de-Digivolved back to their previous forms when they head for the gate. Yolei, Davis, TK, Cody, and their Digimon were the first ones to reach it.
"Digi-Port open!" Yolei shouted, holding up her Digivice. They get transported inside, but Kari and Gatomon are the last ones to follow.
"Grenade Destroyer!" One of the Guardromon shouted, firing his rockets.
"Wait for me!" Kari shouted. As soon as TK and Patamon got through, the TV is destroyed, trapping Kari and Gatomon.
The DigiDestined made it back with the exception of Kari. They land on the floor upon re-entry in the real world.
"Ouch! Say, shouldn't we be putting pillows here if we're going to keep doing this?" Yolei asked.
"Guys, I saw that the TV was blown up as we went through, so we can't go back," Patamon said.
"Wait a second, where did Kari go?" Davis asked.
"She's trapped...in the Digital World!" Cody exclaimed. Everyone gasped in shock. No one was more shocked than TK.
"Kari, no!" TK exclaimed with worry.
Back in the dome in the Digital World, Kari and Gatomon managed to flee from the attacking Guardromon. They found a safe place to hide just so Kari took out her D-Terminal as Gatomon stood guard in case they were followed.
"I'll send the others a message, saying we're okay," Kari said, typing a message. "I don't think this thing has spell check."
"Kari, if we find ourselves in any kind of jam, I can always Armor Digivolve," Gatomon said.
"Well, let's save that for a special occasion," Kari said.
Back in the real world, they tried to get back, but they had no luck.
"The gate to that area is closed! We can't get to her!" Yolei said.
"TK, wasn't Kari behind you when you went through the gate in the digital world?" Davis asked. TK reluctantly nodded, feeling guilty. "Then it's all your fault! Why didn't you let her go first?!"
"Stop! It was no one's fault! It just happened!" Cody argued, defending TK.
"What do you know? You're a little kid!" Davis snapped at the youngest member.
"Yeah, but I still know when someone's being a jerk!" Cody said. Davis looked at Cody, realizing he was right and blaming TK wasn't solving anything.
"Oh, I guess that would be me," Davis said.
"No, Cody. Truth is...Davis is right. I should have been watching out for her all along," TK said, feeling guilty.
"Well, I guess I could've, too..." Davis said.
"So could I! That's what I mean! There's no one to blame!" Cody said.
"And I appreciate you sticking up for me, Cody. But-" TK was cut off.
"Stop. Cody might be a little kid, but he's right. It could've happened to any of us," Davis said. Just when Yolei was about to talk, she gets a notification on her D-Terminal.
"Huh? Hey guys, it's an email from Kari!" Yolei said, putting it up. "It says 'Don't worry. I'm alright. And I'm sorry if any words are misspelled. Sincerely, Kari'."
TK had to make it up to her by saving her. He takes control.
"Yolei, I've got an idea. If I can find an area close to the one she's in, then I can reach her!" TK said, finding the ideal location. "Got it! I'll be back soon!" TK said.
"I'm going too!" Patamon said.
TK and Patamon opened the Digi-Port and re-entered the Digital World.
"What should we do?" Yolei asked.
"If he thinks I'm gonna stand around and let him be the hero, then he can forget it!" Davis stated, taking out his Digivice. He and DemiVeemon are sucked through the gate.
"What? Than I'm going!" Yolei said, taking out her own Digivice, but Cody intervenes.
"Yolei, wait a minute! Listen, it's almost dinnertime. Right now! Somewhere between the green salad and the green gelatine, their families are going to wonder where they are! We have to tell Tai and the others. I think that's the best thing you and I can do to help Davis and TK right now," Cody said.
"Cody, I know you're just a kid, but sometimes you have the wisdom of an old man of 20," Yolei said.
"Alright! What are we waiting for?" Upamon asked.
"Yeah, let's go!" Poromon said.
The two In-Training Digimon begin hopping off.
"But wait, you can't just go out in public!" Cody said as he and Yolei ran after them.
In the Digital World, Davis, TK, and their partners arrived to the desert.
"This was a great idea. Crossing the desert without any water," Davis said with sarcasm.
"I didn't ask for your help," TK said. Davis spotted the dome in the distance.
"There's the city!" Davis said.
"It looks like one of those things you shake and it starts snowing!" TK said.
"I'll go get Kari, you wait here," Davis said.
"No, I'll get Kari, you wait here!" TK retorted. Davis took out a coin.
"Alright, I'll tell you what. We'll flip for it. Winner goes, loser stays here. Since it's my coin, I get to call. Tails," Davis said, flipping the coin. He covered the coin. "Okay, if it's tails, I get to rescue Kari. If it's heads, you get to go." He took his hand off the coin, showing tails. "Tails! I'll tell her that you were worried about her, and that you..." He was cut off when TK grabbed the coin from Davis and examined it. It was a coin with tails on both sides.
"Hmm... A coin that has tails on both sides. That's how I used to beat Matt," TK smugly said.
"How about that?" Davis asked.
"Let's both go," TK said. Davis knew he lost this argument since he realized one of them wasn't enough because of the Guardromon.
"Okay TM," Davis reluctantly agreed. They begin walking. "Did you really use one of those coins on Matt?
"Of course! That's how I got all my baseball cards and his old guitar," TK said. Veemon and Patamon followed them in the desert.
"Davis and TK sure argue a lot. How come?" Patamon asked.
"Something about Kari. Human girls make human boys act...sorta weird," Veemon said.
"I know what you mean, Veemon. Three years ago, Tai was the same way with Sora. He always blushed a whole lot," Patamon said.
"Aren't Agumon and Biyomon dating?" Veemon asked.
"Yes, they are. They've been dating ever since we defeated Apocalymon. I was surprised Tai and Sora didn't hook up," Patamon said.
"What's with you and Gatomon? I noticed that you and she spend a lot of time together," Veemon pointed out, making Patamon blush.
"Uh... No comment," Patamon said. Veemon could tell there's something between Patamon and Gatomon.
Back inside the dome, Gatomon had Armor Digivolved into Nefertimon at some point and Kari rode on her, searching for another TV to get out of.
"Intruder! Intruder!" The Guardromon chanted. One of the Guardromon fired a Grenade Destroyer at the sphinx.
"Rosetta Stone!" Nefertimon shouted, firing amethysts at the rockets, destroying them. Nefertimon flew over the attacking Guardromon. "Kari, there aren't any more TVs in this area!"
"Then we'll have to go to another area to find one!" Kari said.
"But we don't even know in which direction to travel!" Nefertimon pointed out.
Over to the Digimon Emperor, he laughed evilly as he watches. A few seconds later, Wormmon arrives.
"It's almost your dinnertime. Shouldn't you be going home soon, Ken?" Wormmon asked. The Digimon Emperor angrily glared at the caterpillar Digimon.
"Never call me anything but Master!" The Digimon Emperor angrily scolded. Wormmon cowered in fear. "Since she's...all alone, she deserves someone special." The Digimon Emperor pushes a button, displaying a code on the screens. Wormmon exclaimed as he recognized the code.
"Oh no, you can't...anyone but him! He's an Ultimate level Digimon!" Wormmon said.
"That makes him the perfect Digimon to send after her," The Digimon Emperor said, laughing. Wormmon knew it wasn't going to end so well.
Back to the real world, Cody is on the phone, calling Tai's house outside Yolei's family's convenient store.
"Hello? Can I speak to Tai, please? No, I'm not selling anything!" Cody said.
"You know, Yolei, with all the snacks and drinks you take to give your friends, it's a wonder this store shows any profit at all!" Yolei's father said.
"Just put it on my tab, daddy!" Yolei said.
We go back outside the store as Cody explained everything that happened to Tai.
"So, that's where Kari is now," Cody finished.
Over to the Kamiya house, Tai is on the phone as Cody told him everything that has happened.
"Just put it on my tab, daddy!" Yolei said.
"Tai, where are you heading to?" Yuuko asked. Tai comically froze in place when his mother asked him. He was giving off cold sweat. He had to come up with a good excuse just to cover up Kari being in danger. He couldn't say Sora's house because he figured she'll get the wrong idea about them dating, so he had to tell her that he'll be heading to Matt's house.
"Uh, just heading over to Matt's house. He's going to be giving me some guitar lessons. Yeah. I decided to get in the rock and roll business and form my own band," Tai said as he nervously smiled. His mother was clearly not buying any of it. She knew it has something to do with Kari.
"Tai, I'm not a fool. Your sister's in danger in the Digital World, so you need to go and save her," Yuuko easily deduced. Tai comically flinched.
"Uh..." Was all Tai could say but to his surprise Yuuko smiles.
"I figured as much. Will she be back in time for dinner?" Yuuko asked, continuing to cook.
"Huh? You're not worried about her, mom?" Tai asked.
"Of course, I'm worried. But at this point you two being in some kind of danger has become a daily routine," Yuuko explained.
"Like when dad forgets to hang up his clothes from time to time," Tai said.
"Just get going and don't be late," Yuuko said.
"Okay, mom," Tai said, stepping out of the door.
"Those kids of mine. I can't help but be proud of those two," Yuuko said. She chuckled. "At least he didn't come up with a lame excuse like her going to a friend's house and doing a science project and seeing how long Tai can stand on his head." She chuckled again.
After Tai stepped out, Matt ran up to him.
"Hey Tai, I heard what happened. So, are you gonna go?" Matt asked.
"Yeah, but first I have to stop by Davis's apartment. I need to make up a story to tell his family he's gonna be a little late tonight," Tai said.
"Ah, don't worry about that! I can take care of it. You go on and get to Kari," Matt said.
"Thanks, Matt," Tai said, taking his leave and headed for the school. Matt then flinched when he remembered he was talking to Mimi on the phone when Tai contacted him. To those who forgot, Matt and Mimi have been talking everyday on the phone ever since Mimi moved to America.
"I almost forgot! I left Mimi on hold when she called from New York! Her phone bill!" Matt exclaimed, heading back to his house before he heads for Davis's home.
Back at the store, Yolei is holding the bag as Cody tells Yolei told he told his mother.
"I told my mom we were working on a rescue project. She said she's glad we're helping stray cats in the neighbourhood," Cody said.
"Yeah, my mom was just glad I left without filling up another bag," Yolei said as she and Cody took their leave.
Back in the Digital World, a Guardromon is standing guard outside the city.
"There's just one guard at the door," Davis said.
"We're going to have to take him out on the first attack, otherwise he'll call for backup," TK said.
"That's no problem! Veemon and I can handle that metalhead. Veemon, are you ready?" Davis asked.
"Yeah, let's do it!" Veemon exclaimed. Davis took out his Digivice.
"Digi Armor..." Davis was interrupted.
"Wait a minute!" Patamon shouted. Davis and Veemon looked at the Digimon of Hope. "I can do it! There aren't any Control Spires in this area, right?"
"Well, just the one inside the dome..." TK said.
"But we're outside!" Patamon pointed out. TK realized what Patamon meant and it was just the perfect time to use it.
"Yeah, that's right! You can Digivolve!" TK happily exclaimed.
"Huh?" Davis asked.
"Then, go for it!" TK said, taking out his Digivice.
Digivolution Theme
Digimon!
TK's D3 Digivice beams a light high above. Sparkles of light drop from above.
Digimon
Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the champions!
Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the champions!
A yellow beam of light pours from the top of the digi-zone and forms an image of Angemon that soon disappears. Patamon spins in the Digi-zone and gains data.
"Patamon Digivolve to…!"
Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the champions!
"Angemon!"
Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon!
...
The light shines brightly as Angemon stood before TK, Davis, and Veemon. Davis was shocked to see what Patamon had Digivolved into.
"Angemon! I haven't seen you in a while!" TK said.
"An...An...ANGEMON?" Davis asked, giving a comical expression. Angemon looked at the two of them.
"Hi there...big guy," Veemon nervously greeted.
Angemon flew towards the Guardromon at the entrance. The robot Digimon saw him coming.
"Intruder! Intruder!" The Guardromon chanted.
"Angel Rod!" Angemon shouted, throwing his staff. When the staff hits him, the Dark Ring is destroyed. "I nailed him." Davis, TK, and Veemon ran towards the angel Digimon. Angemon busted the door opened, but as soon as Angemon stepped in, he De-Digivolved back into Patamon. "You know, those Control Spires really ruin my day."
"You did great, Patamon," TK said.
"So, besides Armor Digivolving, Patamon can Digivolve to Angemon? What about Gatomon?" Davis asked.
"Well, she can Digivolve to Angewomon," TK said. Davis exclaimed in shock when he heard that Gatomon can Digivolve into an angel themed Digimon.
"You're kidding me! Angemon and Angewomon?" Davis asked.
"Right! We make a great team!" Patamon said.
"One question. Is there an Angebabymon, too?" Davis asked.
"Sometimes, he says the weirdest things!" Patamon said before he and TK laugh. Davis growled.
"Veemon! Tell me now if you can digivolve into Angesomething, too!" Davis asked.
"Uhh..." Veemon paused. Davis walked up to Veemon and picked him up.
"Angedinosaurmon? Angesoccerplayermon?" Davis asked, shaking Veemon.
"I just don't have it in me!" Veemon said.
"He's still got a lot to learn," TK said. TK laughed again.
Back in the real world, Matt stopped by the Motomiya house and Jun is standing by the door, delighted to see Matt of all people. Matt had to tell Davis's sister that Davis is with TK, but left out the part about the Digital World, knowing she wouldn't believe a word of it. He had to think of something. But he blinked a whole lot while talking.
"So anyway, Davis is over at my brother's house, so he probably won't be home until a little later," Matt said. Jun just laughed.
"What?" Matt asked.
"You're lying," Jun said.
"Huh?" Matt asked.
"I can usually tell when people are lying, because they usually start blinking a lot," Jun said.
Matt kept on blinking while dumbfounded by what that was about.
"Huh...wha? I, uh, huh...wha?" Matt asked.
"I promise not to tell my parents you were lying, if you promise to go out on a date with me. Okay? Seeya friday at 8:00," Jun said
"How did that happen?" Matt asked as he hung his head. "Well, the only good thing about this is, Mimi isn't here, because I wouldn't know how to face her."
Back at the computer room, Poromon and Upamon are eating the snacks Yolei provided for them.
"How come he gets more candy than I do?" Poromon complained.
"Stop complaining, there's plenty more," Yolei said. Cody stepped back inside the computer room.
"I brought some re-enforcements," Cody said.
"Let's get to work," Tai said, entering the computer room.
In the Digital World, the Digimon Emperor is contacted by a mysterious figure. The silhouette is seen along with glowing red eyes.
"You summoned me, Your Highness?" A familiar robotic voice asked.
"Please hold for the Digimon Emperor. Line one for you, sir," Wormmon said as the Digimon Emperor laughed.
Back in the dome, Davis and TK then sprang into action.
(Split Screen)
Davis and TK's D-Terminals extends.
"Digi Armor Energize!" Davis and TK shouted as the DigiEggs of Courage and Hope came out.
Armor Digivolve theme
Digimon
"Veemon Armor Digivolve to…"
"Patamon Armor Digivolve to..."
Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the champions!
Veemon and Patamon fuses with the DigiEggs and is engulfed by rings of fire that take shape as images of Agumon and all of his Digivolutions appear for Veemon as the images of Angemon and MagnaAngemon appeared. Out of the fire, claws extend from his fists and then a spike from his helmet.
Digimon, Digital Monsters, Digimon are the champions!
"Flamedramon, the Fire of Courage!"
"Pegasusmon, Flying Hope!"
Digimon!"
...
I'm Going Digital!
"Fire Rocket!" Flamedramon shouted, firing fireballs, hitting the Guardromon in the Dark Rings. He turned around. "Davis, over here!" Davis is running towards his partner.
"I can't jump as high as you can!" Davis said. TK is riding on Pegasusmon, tracking Kari with his Digivice.
"I'm getting Kari's signal We're close!" TK said.
Flamedramon grabbed Davis in his arm.
"Are you ready to jump a little higher?" Flamedramon asked. He yelped as Flamedramon jumped from one building to the next.
He looked and he sees Kari riding on Nefertimon. She sees him.
"Boy, am I glad to see you!" Kari said as Nefertimon flew by.
"Grenade Destroyer!" Two of the Guardromon shouted as they fired at Nefertimon. The explosions of the rockets were making her rock and then Nefertimon fell with Kari holding on. Nefertimon crashed on the ground before she De-Digivolved.
"Huh?" Kari asked.
"Intruder! Destroy!" The Guardromon said, aiming at Kari and Gatomon. The Digimon of Light hisses, but luckily, Pegasusmon came flying in.
"Equis Beam!" Pegasusmon shouted, firing a green beam from his forehead
"Fire Rocket!" Flamedramon shouted, running at one of the Guardromon. Pegasusmon's beam hits one as Flamedramon gave a fiery punch to another, destroying the Dark Rings. Kari turned to see Davis and TK coming. Kari was especially happy to see TK.
"Hey, Davis! TK! You guys are my heroes!" Kari said.
"Actually, it was mostly my idea! I just brought TK along for the ride!" Davis boasted.
"Whatever!" TK scoffed. "Huh?" He saw there was one more Guardromon coming to attack from behind. Pegasusmon turned around to engage him.
"Star Shower!" Pegasusmon fired several needles from his mane, destroying the Dark Ring.
...
"Come on, Kari, we'd better get going!" Davis said, taking Kari by the hand. Before they could get away, they're stopped by another robotic Digimon. This Digimon was one that TK and Kari have met before. It was Andromon. "Why can't these guys ever be small?"
"Andromon!" Kari happily exclaimed. The Digimon Analyzer activates.
"I am Andromon. I have one mission: Seek out my enemy and destroy him with my Lightning Blade," Andromon said as the Digimon Analyzer deactivates. Kari sees the Dark Ring around Andromon's neck.
"Huh? He's got a Dark Ring! Andromon?" Kari asked.
"I am programmed to destroy the enemy. You are the enemy I will destroy you," Andromon said.
"Andromon, don't you remember us? We're your friends," Kari said.
"Kari, you're hanging out with the wrong people," Davis said. He turned to his partner. "Flamedramon, you'll have to use all of your power!"
"You got it!" Flamedramon said. He jumped into the air. "Flaming Fist!" He dives down at Andromon while covered in flames. Andromon's hand spins around, building up energy.
"Lightning Blade!" Andromon shouted, firing his attack. When it struck Flamedramon, the flames subsided and he De-Digivolved, much to Davis's dismay. He rushes over to his fallen partner. "Veemon, speak to me!"
"You're kneeling on my tail," Veemon weakly said. Pegasusmon flew by as TK jumped off. Pegasusmon flew up.
"Star Shower!" Pegasusmon shouted, firing stars from his wings. It does nothing to Andromon.
"Lightning Blade!" Andromon shouted, attacking again. Pegasusmon tried to dodge, but the blade of lightning ricochet and hits Pegasusmon, making him De-Digivolve. TK catches Patamon.
"I'll have two cheeseburgers and a large order of fries," Patamon weakly said.
"That didn't work! So what now?" Davis asked.
"Andromon, don't you remember how we fought together, side-by-side? You helped us defeat Machinedramon back in his city on Spiral Mountain! And you helped us defeat Piedmon afterwards! Don't you remember?" Kari asked.
"Kari, we have to get out of here! We don't even know if it's the same Andromon!" TK said.
"I'm sure it's him!" Kari argued.
"Yeah, but even if it is, he's under the control of the Digimon Emperor! He can't even hear your voice!" TK said.
"You don't know that!" Kari said. Davis had to cut the argument short since Andromon is approaching them.
"As much as I like you two arguing, he's headed right for us!" Davis said. Andromon analyzes the goggles on Davis's head and compared it to a photo of Tai in his memory circuits. It was a perfect match. He stops.
"Let's go!" Gatomon shouted. With that said, Veemon, Patamon, and Gatomon tackled Andromon down to the ground. They then got off of him. "Here comes help now!" Gatomon said.
And she was right, because Yolei came in, riding on Halsemon.
"I'm glad we're not too late," Halsemon said. Digmon emerges from the ground.
"Hi, guys! I thought since I was here, I'd build this city a subway system!" Digmon said. Andromon begins to sit up. "Hold still, you pile of scrap metal! Gold Rush!" Digmon fires his drills at Andromon. The drills bounces right off of him. "Hey, that comment about scrap metal was just a joke!"
"Kari, are you okay?" Tai asked as he and Cody came running in.
"Yeah, but Tai, it's Andromon!" Kari said. Tai and Cody stopped as Andromon analyzes Tai.
"Andromon! Slow down! It's me, Tai!" Tai said.
"Tai who?" Andromon asked. He compared Tai in real life and in the photo. He saw it was definitely him. "Oh, Tai." The Dark Ring begins to malfunction, so he swings his arms around. Tai ran, but Kari stayed where she was.
"Kari, look out!" Davis shouted. Andromon looked right at her and she looked back at him. He then picks Kari up and held her up in the air.
"Hey, you put her down, now!" Gatomon demanded.
"Kari!" TK exclaimed.
"Do you remember me?" Kari tearfully asked
"I am trying," Andromon said as he analyzes her. He compared her with a different piece of a photo and saw it was definitely her. "Yes!"
"We all took a picture together," Kari said. A tear slides from her eyes and onto Andromon.
Through Andromon's memory circuits, he sees the whole picture
"A picture," Andromon said as Kari's Digivice fell and it hits Andromon. A pink light shines all round. Andromon begins to put the picture together. "Faces. Long ago. Digidestined. I love jigsaw puzzles! Now I see the complete picture." His red eyes fade back to normal as the Digimon Emperor's control iver him was now undone. He gently puts Kari down. "Kari, I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused." He pulls the Dark Ring off of his neck, breaking it.
"Andromon!" Kari happily exclaimed. Andromon nods. He turned around to see the Control Spire.
"That Control Spire is responsible for all this. Well, no more. Gattling attack!" Andromon shouted as his chest opens up and fired his organic missiles, destroying the Control Spire. The Guardromon all froze in place. They follow Andromon as the Guardromon are non-functional.
"Andromon, are all these Gardromon going to stay broken forever?" Kari asked.
"No. Their programs were just re-written by the Digimon Emperor. They just need to be reprogrammed. Watch," Andromon said as he destroyed the Dark Ring and begins to reprogram one of the Guardromon.
"Actually, once I reprogram the Gardromon, I'll stay here to protect them in case the Digimon Emperor returns," Andromon said.
"I feel fresh as a daisy," the Guardromon said.
With the Control Spire destroyed and Andromon protecting the Guardromon in case the Digimon Emperor attacks again, the DigiDestined started to make their way back to the TV Davis and TK came out of before.
"Come on guys, let's go home!" Davis said.
Here We Go
The DigiDestined go through the TV as Davis, DemiVeemon, Yolei, Poromon, Cody, Upamon, TK, Patamon, Kari, Gatomon, and Tai returned to the real world.
...
Upon returning, they found Izzy sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, his arms and legs crossed, and has a displeased look on his face. They all knew Izzy caught wind of it right away, and he had to come see for himself.
"Izzy? Were you waiting here this whole time?" Tai asked. Izzy uncrossed his arms and legs, and opened his eyes.
"Shh. Let's go," Izzy said. The DigiDestined snuck out of the school, but Izzy hadn't dropped his scowl. "Matt just called and told me what had happened with Kari. And I'm really upset that you guys have left me out of the loop. Cody called Tai for help, and Tai called Matt, but nobody ever calls me until the adventure is all over with!"
"Come on, Izzy, don't be like that. You know you're a big part of the team," Tai said.
"That's right! And as a team member, I expect to be treated with the same respect I give to all of you! I may not be as strong as you and Matt, but I've gotten us out of just as many jams with my particular skills," Izzy said.
"I'm sorry I didn't call you," Tai apologized.
"Now that's what I call respect. Okay, I forgive you," Izzy said, smiling.
"Wow, that was easy!" Tai said.
"Oh, I almost forgot the reason I came here. When I was examining the Digivices, I determined that they have three settings: Digital, Detect, and Discover. Maybe we should call them D-3s from now on. Prodigious little devices, aren't they? I had a lot of help from my friend Willis in America, maybe you guys will meet him someday. Anyway, I think the D-3s might have sent a message to Andromon's memory banks, which then made him...ugh!" Izzy explained before being interrupted.
"Please stop talking until after we eat," DemiVeemon said.
"Ugh! We forgot about dinner!" Davis exclaimed.
"That's right! Our parents are waiting for us! The food is probably cold and soggy by now! Well, of course, for my mom, it's an improvement. Let's go!" Tai said as the DigiDestined began to bolt for him.
Over to the Ishida home, Hiroaki was at home for dinner and he grinned while Matt was cooking and angered over the date he was forced to go on with Davis's sister.
"Some girl named Jun called today, Matt, and she said you have a date with her on Friday at 8:00. She wanted me to tell you that she made dinner reservations for you at Morales," Hiroaki said.
"Moreales? What's that?" Matt asked.
"The most expensive restaurant in town. In all honesty, I thought you still had it bad for that Mimi girl you were friends with since you were little," Hiroaki said, making Matt almost flinch.
"Um, uh, I..." Matt said. Hiroaki just grinned a cheeky grin.
"Oh, so you do. Here's my word of advice for you, Matt. When you have it bad for a girl, just make sure you're faithful to her. Women loves a man who is loyal," Hiroaki said.
"This is all Davis's fault. I can't believe I have to take his sister out on a date. Just while I still have Mimi on my mind," Matt thought while he cooked. Then the food he was cooking begins to smoke.
"Hey, Matt, something smells great. I'm getting hungry," Hiroaki said. Smelling the smoke, he saw the food was burning.
"Uhh...dinner's ready!" Matt exclaimed.
Meanwhile, over to the Ichijougi home, Mrs. Ichijougi brings Ken's dinner over to Ken's door.
"Supper time!" Mrs. Ichijougi announced. "Ken dear, you're busy. I'll leave it outside your door." She took her leave.
Ken had just returned home from the Digital World and he was angered over his latest defeat by the DigiDestined and a loss of another Control Spire and slaves.
"Blast! Those Digivices are becoming a nuisance to me. I've got to get them away from those kids," Ken scowled.
