Chapter 17: Kappa Mikey Begins:

This chapter takes place during the Oikawa Arc

Patamon and Armadillomon have set up the TV.

"This is gonna be great," says Patamon, "we're going to watch the Kappa Mikey Marathon, and it will lead to the secret origin episode."

But as the two were about to watch it, there is a storm and it's messing with the TV.

"Hey, we're trying to watch our show," says Armadillomon.

Patamon and Armadillomon then try to fix the TV, but they get electrocuted.

"So, this is what it feels to be Team Rocket," says Patamon, "let's go try someone else's."

...

"Veemon," says Patamon, "we wanna watch the Kappa Mikey and Guano Marathon!"

"Look, I'm trying to watch the big game..." Veemon then opens door, letting the wind ruin his living room. Patamon and Armadillomon are also swept inside.

"Thanks, Veemon," says Patamon.

Davis's house gets ripped apart by the storm.

"Now what," asks Armadillomon.

"I don't know," says Patamon, "all the TVs in town are knocked out. We have to find a secure place, some place that can survive the whirlwind. Hey that's it. If we want to see Kappa Mikey and Guano's origin, we'll just go to the source. Follow me, Armadillomon."

"Thanks for nothin, Veemon," says Armadillomon.

"I'm fine," says Veemon, "thanks for asking!"

...

Patamon and Armadillomon are crawling.

"We made it," says Patamon, "we found the Kappa Cave."

Patamon and Armadillomon get caught in a trap.

"Oh boy," says Guano.

...

Patamon and Armadillomon are giggling as Kappa Mikey and Guano are dragging them.

"Do you mind telling us why you're here," asks Guano.

"We wanna watch your TV," says Armadillomon.

"I hate to break it to you," says Guano, "but you'll have to go somewhere else. Our power got knocked out in the storm."

"But, but..." says Armadillomon, "now how will we ever learn about their secret 'gorinin'?"

"Hang on a minute," says Patamon, "we've got Kappa Mikey and Guano standing right here."

"So?"

"So, if we want to hear their origin, why don't we just ask them?"

"I reckon you're like a brain professor."

"Kappa Mikey, Guano, can you tell us how all this started?"

"You wanna go back to the start of it all, eh? Well, you see, in the beginning, it was all dark. And then all of a sudden, an event called The Big Bang that formed..."

"Not the beginning of time, Kappa-Brain," says Guano, "our beginning!"

"Oh, well, when my mother and father got married, they..."

"You're supposed to be telling the story of how we became superheroes!"

"The story, yes," says Kappa Mikey, "I was an American Tourist who came to Japan, but then I got lost in the woods. Just as a giant skeleton was about to eat me, I was rescued by Kappas. They taught me karate and gave me my weapons." Kappa Mikey falls asleep.

"Wake up, you old coot. Finish the story."

"Yeah, Kappa Mikey," says Patamon, "what about Guano?"

"How'd ya fellers meet?"

"Oh, sorry boys... There I was. sitting on a cliff. For a while, the only friends I had were the Kappas. I missed having a human companion. Then it came."

A short guy was being chased by long necked ladies.

"I have to save him!"

Kappa Mikey fought the long-necked ladies and put the short guy in a small purple suit.

"I gave him the purple suit for his protection. It was that moment when we decided to team up."

"Ohhhh, so that's how you guys got together," says Patamon.

"No, no, no," says Guano, "the reason why I teamed up with this joker is because I can't take this suit off."

"Oh... yeah."

"Anyway, from that moment on, we became..."

Kappa Mikey and Guano, superhero crime fighters!

A crook breaks out of the bank.

"Try to escape from this," says Guano as he beats the crook.

"Who do I owe this debt of gratitude," asks the Banker.

"You can thank me," says Kappa Mikey, "Kappa Mikey."

Guano fights Gonard while Kappa Mikey's on the phone.

"Hello... so, what are you wearing? Oh. In that case, can I get a large pepperoni pizza, extra cheese? Thanks."

"That didn't happen!"

"Oh, yes it did."

"Oh, no it didn't."

"Oh, ha ha, like you remember. You don't even remember where you live."

"It didn't happen."

The TV's now working. "And now, without further delays, the Kappa Mikey and Guano origin episode.

...

The story of Kappa Mikey and Guano started here.

"Come on, Mikey! The movie's about to start... Where's the popcorn?"

"It's in the microwave, Satoshi."

At that very moment in the apartment directly above, a rogue scientist doing tests on radioactive ants knocks over a jar of his infected specimens, one of which, without any hesitation, crawls down one floor and miraculously lands undetected. It viciously bites our soon-to-be superhero. He screams in pain, stumbling backwards.

"What on Earth," asks Satoshi.

In a split-second, both men find themselves in a freefall that sends them squarely through the roof of a vats of acid factory, and into a vat of acid that is tipped over by an errant alien spaceship, carrying the two blindly on a wave of acid during a solar eclipse on a leap year, precariously careening onto a bomb-testing site, where a cataclysmic explosion exposes our heroes in waiting to highly toxic radium gases. Then, as fate would have it, magical storm clouds move in, zapping both men with a neon-plaid lightning bolt and raining radioactive ooze, which, through centrifugal and electromagnetic turbulence, causes a powerful earthquake deep in the jungle two-thousand miles away, consequently unearthing a magical crystal with wings that flies to Mikey and Satoshi's exact location, and, powered by super gamma energy currents, pilots them to open skies until, not paying attention, the crystal clips the top of a billboard, flinging the two back to their apartment miraculously unharmed, when...

"Hey," says Mikey, "the popcorn's ready."

...they proceed with movie night and eat slightly overcooked popcorn.

"Mmmm...," says Satoshi, "I think you overcooked this a little."

Suddenly, an amazing reaction to the overcooked popcorn hits them with a jolt of cosmic super energy, metamorphosing Mikey into an American styled superhero, one with a cape and trunks and Satoshi ends up in a small purple suit.

"I have the sudden urge to fight the forces of evil," says Satoshi.

"As do I," says Mikey.

And that is how they became the superheroes we have come to know as Kappa Mikey and Guano, Saviors of Japan!

...

"Oh, that feels like yesterday, doesn't it, Kappa Mikey?"

"No, not really."

"Hmm... Oh, so what do you boys think? Boys?"

Patamon and Armadillomon are cooking popcorn.

"This is gonna be super awesome," says Armadillomon.

"So, superhero awesome," says Patamon.

Kappa Mikey and Guano then try to stop them. "No! Stop! But you're not superhero material! Look at those feet!"

Satoshi is a reference to Pokémon.
