Digimon: Heroes Episode 28

Our World Tour Begins

*New York City - Noon. A large apartment building was on fire as fire trucks and firefighters were had arrived on the scene to try and extinguish the flames, as a large group of people watched with fear and anticipation*

Firefighter 1: Man, I've never seen a fire like this!

Firefighter 2: There are still some people left inside!!

Firefighter 3: We can't get to them, the flames are too big!!

Firefighter 2: What can we do?!

Firefighter 3: *looks around, eyes widen* We don't have to do anything! *points* Look!

*The other firefighters turned to see Robert riding towards them atop Kyubimon, as well as the other Heroes right behind him with their Digimon in Ultimate form, except for Lopmon, Veemon, Commandramon, and BlackAgumon*

Eva: Never fear, the cavalry has arrived!

Firefighter 1: What the-- The Digimon Heroes?

Kyubimon: *stops in front of one of the firefighters* Yes, we have come to help!

Robert: What's the situation, men?

Firefighter 2: We got a few people trapped inside this apartment, but the flames are too strong and we can't get them out!

Robert: How many are in there?

Firefighter 3: About five, I believe. Think you can get to them, Robert?

Robert: I think so, Jack. *turns to the other Heroes* Okay guys, let's get rolling, we got to get those people out. Move, move, move!!

Joey: Lopmon, use your ice attack on the building, try to lower the flames!

Lopmon: You got it! *jumps up* BLAZING ICE!!! *fires a burst of cool air and snow at the burning building*

Firefighter 2: You kids better hurry, this building's gonna come down any minute!

Eva: Angewomon and I will go.

Rixu: So will me and Cyberdramon.

Robert: The six of us will go together. Chris, you and Dogremon stay here. If the building starts to break down, try and get a good grip on it. We need it to be steady until we have everyone out.

Chris: You got it! Come on, Dogremon!

Dogremon: Gotchya! *grabs the side of the building and digs his claws into the bricks* I think I can hold it for a good while!! You guys just get those people out!

Eva: We better hurry then. Let's go!

*Angewomon grabbed Eva in her arms and flew into the building, while Cyberdramon did the same with Rixu*

Robert: Okay, get us in there, partner!

Kyubimon: Hold on, Robert!! *bashes into the burning building with Robert on her back*

*Just then, Eva and Rixu came out from the burning building riding atop their Digimon, carrying a few people out with them*

Firefighter 1: Alright, is that everyone?

Cyberdramon: There's one more person down below, but we can't reach 'im!

Angewomon: The floor's collapsed and the way's blocked up!

Firefighter 2: Couldn't you have moved the rubble or something?

Firefighter 1: No need, Robert just went in there with his Digimon, remember?

Firefighter 3: You think they might be able to handle it?

Firefighter 1: Let's hope so…

*Inside the building, Robert and Kyubimon were searching for people in need of help, but the flames were getting hotter and smoke was everywhere*

Robert: The others must have gotten everyone else out.

Kyubimon: Let's get back to them befo-- Wait…

Robert: What is it?

Kyubimon: It sounds like there's someone else here…

Robert: How can you tell? What do you hear?

Kyubimon: I hear faint coughs…over there! *points in the direction*

Robert: Lead the way!

*Kyubimon used her hearing to track the sound, as they scouted throughout the small apartment home. They looked inside a small room to find a young girl, huddling in a corner, coughing from the smoke*

Girl: Help me… Please!! The smoke's burning my eyes!

Kyubimon: Hold on, I'll clear the room! *starts spinning her tails like a fan, clearing away the smoke*

Girl: *eyes slightly straining* I still can't see that well!

Robert: Calm down, we'll get you out of here! *grabs the girl's hand* Just stick with us and you'll be safe! *pulls her up onto Kyubimon*

Kyubimon: Now hold on tight and lower your heads! * runs toward a wall and bashes out of the building*

Robert: WHOO-HOO!!! Nice job, Kyubimon! *turns to the girl* How are you holding up, kid?

Girl: Thank you, mister! *hugs Robert*

Robert: No problem, but I'm not the only one who deserves the credit.

*Just then, Dogremon let go and the building collapsed into a a burning pile of wood, bricks and steel. The people and firefighters cheered as Kyubimon with Robert and the girl on her back walked toward them, covered in soot*

Joey: Way to go, bro!

Firefighter 1: Great job, Robbie! Your dad would be proud.

Robert: *smiles* Thanks.

Firefighter 3: Okay, let's get these people to the hospital!!

Robert: Alright, kiddo… *takes the girl off of Kyubimon's back* Take care now and stay out of trouble, okay?

Girl: Okay. *takes a firefighter's hand*

*Kyubimon quickly shook off the soot and de-digivolved into Renamon as she and the other Heroes watched the people being loaded up into several ambulances*

Robert: *dusts himself off* Definitely gonna need a bath after that… At least those folks are safe, especially with your help, Renamon…

Renamon: I'd never abandon anyone, especially a little girl.

Kevin: I gotta admit, that was pretty awesome.

BlackAgumon: Yeah, we're like the Ghostbusters!!

Eva: I'm just glad that everyone got out alright. I was afraid we wouldn't make it in time.

Robert: *sighs* Yeah…

Joey: *raises an eyebrow* Robert…you okay?

Robert: Y-Yeah. I'm fine

Joey: *walks up to Robert* You're still thinking about him, aren't you? *pause* I miss him too.

Robert: *tears in his eyes* I wish he was here... to see what we've been doing... all the people we help…. *turns to the people staring at him and the others* Everyone, can I have your attention, please?

*The crowd turned to face Robert, giving him their full attention*

Robert: Now, we may be called the Digimon Heroes, but that doesn't mean we're the only ones. Our fire department, our police force, people who help out their friends...they're the real heroes.

*The crowd nodded and applauded the firemen and remaining ambulances*

Robert: *sighs* I knew a great hero… His name was captain Gregory Willis… He was a firefighter. He helped many people. But on September 11th, 2001...he lost his life…trying to save some people from the burning buildings. He died a hero…but I was too upset to see that. I know this…because Gregory Willis...was my father. *looks up to the sky* Thanks, dad.

*Just then, Joey began to cry into his shirt sleeve as Robert then pulled him into a small hug*

Robert: It's okay, Joey… It's okay.

*Meanwhile, inside the palace of the Digital World, Superimon sat in his throne as Myotismon stood next to him*

Superimon: Myotismon, bring them in…

Myotismon: Yes, my lord. *nods and gives a hand signal*

*Just then, a group of Digimon entered the throne room, their appearances masked by the shadows*

Superimon: *gets up out of his throne* Yes…*walks up to the mysterious group of Digimon* You have been chosen out of all the others for a very special assignment. You know you're orders, but just to make sure…are there any questions?

*Most of the mysterious Digimon shook their heads, but one Digimon raised hers*

Superimon: Yes?

???: So, New York's still out of the question then?

??? 2: Ugh! Of course it is, weren't you listening? Humph! It's a wonder how you and I are sisters!

???: Just wanted to be sure. Sheesh!

Superimon: Silence!!

??? 1 & 2: *in fear* Yes, master…

Superimon: You all have your assignments. This is the last chance we have of conquering the human world and its people. Now go…and do not fail me…

*Back in New York, at the Digimon Heroes' Headquarters, the Heroes were sitting around the room while Robert was on the phone with his mom*

Robert: Yeah mom, I'll be home soon. Busy day and all… Bye. *hangs up the phone*

Eva: Everything okay, Robert?

Robert: Yeah, mom's just being a mom. You know, worrying about me and Joey and all. Anyway, how's Darcmon holding up?

Eva: She's meditating at the moment. I didn't want to disturb her.

Robert: Where's she meditating?

*Meanwhile, on top of the Heroes HQ, Darcmon was sitting on the roof of the building in a meditated state, eyes closed, legs crossed, humming silently. The Heroes climbed up the stairs and approached her*

Robert: *taps her shoulder* Darcmon?

Darcmon: *opens her eyes* Wha-- Oh! Robert. I didn't hear you. Something wrong?

Robert: Well, we did rescue some people from a burning building today.

Darcmon: Oh my... Was everyone alright?

Renamon: Yes, including a little girl who was trapped by the fire.

Robert: What about you?

Darcmon: I haven't done much of anything today… I have been meditating most of the time…

Chris: Has it helped you?

Darcmon: I'm not sure… I still feel guilty for everything I've done… I still get chills just thinking about it…

Robert: *puts a hand on Darcmon's shoulder* They'll forgive you one day… I know they will.

Darcmon: I hope so…

Kevin: Hey, why don't you come downstairs and watch TV with us? Emperor's New School's coming on in a bit.

Darcmon: I don't know… I think I should just meditate for a little longer…

BlackAgumon: Oh come on, hang out with us!

Darcmon: Well… I suppose a bit of TV wouldn't hurt…

BlackAgumon: Great! Meet you down there!! *runs down the stairs*

Renamon: I'm sure some quality time with friends will do you good, Darcmon… Just like the old days… *walks off*

*Back downstairs, the whole group huddled on the couch in front of the TV, as Darcmon was making her way towards them*

Joey: Saved a spot on the couch for ya, Darcmon!

Darcmon: Thank you, Joey… *takes a seat on the couch*

Mike: Time for cartoons!! First up, The Emperor's New Groove!!

Veemon: THEME MUSIC!!!

Chris: Okay, okay! Just shut up already! *grabs the remote and switches on the TV*

News Anchor on TV: We interrupt your regularly scheduled program with this special news bulletin.

BlackAgumon: Huh?

News Anchor on TV: We have received multiple urgent reports of Digimon sightings all around the world, as they attack major cities such as London, Paris, Tokyo, Moscow, and countless others.

Eva: *eyes widen* What?!

Angelomon: *eyes widen* Great Googlymoogly!!

News Anchor on TV: There is no word on how these Digimon have made contact to these locations, but various troops have mobilized to put a stop to their destructive force.

Robert: So that's what Superimon meant by 'other cities'… The bastard!

Darcmon: I should've seen this coming…

Robert: We've got to do something.

Joey: But what can we do? They're all over the world!

Renamon: *looks to Darcmon* Darcmon?

Darcmon: I can't do it… Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't be able to… Most of my power was under Superimon's spell...

Robert: Then we'll do it the old fashioned way. Planes, trains, and automobiles.

Chris: Can we even afford that? With tickets, the amount of passengers, taxi fares…

Jermaine: Sounds extremely expensive, dude.

*Just then, the phone rang, alerting the Heroes, their Digimon and Darcmon*

Robert: Mike, put it on speaker.

Mike: *presses the speaker button on the phone* Digimon Heroes, Mike speaking.

Agent Anderson: *on the other line* Have you seen what's going on out there?!

Robert: If you mean the Digimon all over the world, yes we have, Agent Anderson.

Chris: We've gotta get to those cities and stop 'em.

Agent Anderson: *on the other line* I was hoping you'd say that. We'll take you all to the airport and fly you all over the world to stop them.

Eva: You'll take care of all our expenses?

Agent Anderson: *on the other line* Whatever you need. Hell, we'll throw in keys to an arsenal of tanks at this point. With these monsters attacking everywhere, this could be bad for everyone. We're already setting up an emergency meeting with the world leaders at the United Nations. For now, we need you to put a stop to these Digimon before it gets worse.

Kevin: Well, that takes care of that.

Agent Anderson: *on the other line* All you have to do is choose which of you is going to which country and we'll handle the rest. Good luck.

BlackAgumon: Oh yes…the fun part… Should we draw straws?

*Later, a map of the world was spread out on a coffee table, with the Heroes, their Digimon and Darcmon observing it*

Darcmon: It's best we take out the major cities that are being attacked first.

Robert: Okay so here's the plan. We'll each split into teams of two. Eva and I will take Europe. Joey, you and Jermaine stay in the states. Mike and Kevin get Africa and Asia. And Chris, you and Rixu get Australia and South America. Any questions?

Rixu: I've got no complaints. Let's get this over with.

Robert: We can't leave right away, we need plane schedules, bus schedules, food, supplies, the works.

Chris: I'll take care of the schedules!

Mike: I need to relax, I'm gonna watch more TV.

Robert: Not a bad idea, Mike. See if there might be any updates regarding the attacks.

Mike: But I wanted to watch more cartoons.

Robert: The world is in a crisis! Do you think watching cartoons is more important?

Mike: No, but TV prepares me. *turns on a news station showing a hostage video* Oh hey, some terrorists captured a soldier in Afghanistan.

Chris: Huh?

*The Heroes and their Digimon stared at the TV. The footage was of several Middle Eastern men in a dark cave, surrounding a man tied to a chair with a bag over his head*

News Anchor on TV: In other news, this footage was released today from a hidden location somewhere in Afghanistan. It appears that several Al Qaida members have captured an American soldier.

*Just then, the bag was pulled off of the hostage's head by the terrorists, revealing it to be Commander Christie, looking badly beaten and bruised*

News Anchor: The soldier is identified as Commander Christie.

Kevin: *eyes widen* Chris, that's your dad!!

Chris: *eyes widen* WHAT?!?!

Robert: *eyes widen* Oh my god, he doesn't look too good.

Chris: I…I can't believe it… *grits his teeth in anger* I've got to go to him!!

Kevin: But what about the Digimon?

Chris: SCREW THE DIGIMON, THOSE BASTARDS ARE GONNA KILL MY DAD!!!!

Rixu: Whoa, whoa! Calm down!

Robert: Don't worry Chris, they're not going to get a chance to. *pause* Change of plans… Chris and Rixu get Asia, Kevin and Mike get Africa, Australia, and South America.

Kevin: This is gonna be one hell of a road trip…

Eva: Wait… What about Darcmon?

Darcmon: *pause* I-I wish to go with Chris and Rixu. I don't know why…but I feel as though I must…

Rixu: Are you sure you might be up for it?

Darcmon: *pause* I'm positive!

Commandramon: So, when do we all leave?

Robert: We'll leave tomorrow. I'll let Anderson know about our plans. In the meantime, pack everything you'll need.

*The next morning, at JFK airport, the Heroes and their Digimon were about to board their planes as they said goodbye to their families. Anderso*

Mrs. Christie: Angelomon, promise you'll watch over my boy…and please get my husband back…

Angelomon: I'll never leave his side. You can count on me!

Rixu: You can count on us too, Mrs. Christie.

Monodramon: Yeah!

Mrs. Christie: *looks at Darcmon* But what about her?

Darcmon: I'll do what I can to keep them safe, ma'am.

Chris: She's not a bad guy anymore, mom. Remember that, okay?

Mrs. Christie: Just be careful, son...

Chris: I will, mom.

Monodramon: What plane are we gonna be taking?

Rixu: Anderson sent us an Airbus Military A400M Airliner to take us there. It's stable and secure for traveling in harsh territory, especially for where we're going.

Angelomon: Ooh!

Chris: We better get going.

Mrs. Christie: *hugs Chris* Bye, sweetie.

Chris: Goodbye Mom…

Mr. Doherty: Now, be sure to stay safe, okay? I mean, this is the first time you've ever left the country.

Gatomon: Don't worry, sir. Renamon and I will protect them from any danger.

Mr. Doherty: *chuckles* Thanks, Gatomon.

Eva: We'll call you when we get to London, I promise.

Mr. Doherty: Stay safe and give those Digimon what they deserve.

Eva: *hugs her dad* I will, daddy, I will!

Robert: Yeah, mom, you heard Eva. We'll be fine.

Mrs. Willis: *wiping her tears* Alright, just be careful.

Renamon: Mrs. Willis, I give you my word as a soldier that no harm will come to your son.

Mrs. Willis: Thank you, Renamon.

Joey: Yeah, and you don't have to worry about me. Jermaine and I are staying in the states.

Mrs. Willis: But you're too young to travel alone!

Lopmon: Not when he has me on his side.

Joey: I'm sure she'll turn back into Antylamon soon enough. Just trust me, okay, mom?

Mrs. Willis: Alright, I trust you.

Jermaine: You sure you'll be alright without me, Grandma?

Grandma Williams: Oh, don't worry about me, sweetie. Granny's still got some spunk left in 'er!

Commandramon: *smiles* That's the attitude I'd like to here!

Jermaine: I'll bring you a picture from Las Vegas, okay?

Grandma Williams: Sounds good to me. But I would rather have you and your friends come home safely.

Commandramon: Ma'am, I will guard your grandson with my life. *salutes* You can count on it!

Grandma Williams: You're a good soldier. *salutes* At ease.

Jermaine: *hugs his grandma* Love you, Grandma.

Grandma Williams: I love you too... Now go out there and show those monsters that you're no pushover!

Jermaine: You got it!

Kevin: So I…guess this is goodbye.

Mr. Wayne: I know you'll be safe with your Digimon friends, but please…just be careful out there…

Kevin: Chill out, dad. All the other parents are… Well, almost.

Mrs. Wayne: That doesn't mean we don't care about you, son… We don't want you to get hurt out there…

BlackAgumon: Hey, he's got me, doesn't he?

Mr. Wayne: He certainly does... Please watch out for him...

BlackAgumon: I will, I promise.

Mrs. Anthony: Now don't you get into any trouble, Michael.

Mike: I'll be fine, mom. I promise.

Mr. Anthony: *chuckles* That's my boy. Have fun Down Under!

Mike: Can't exactly have fun when there Digimon attacking everyone.

Veemon: Are you kidding? Fighting Digimon's always fun!

Mrs. Anthony: Just as long as you keep an eye on my boy, alright?

Veemon: No problem!

Airport Intercom: Attention, please. Flights 122 to London, 134 to Nairobi, and 312 to St. Louis are now boarding.

Robert: That's us.

Eva: Well, goodbye, guys.

Mr. Doherty: Goodbye, Eva, Gatomon.

Eva: Goodbye, Dad… I'll make you proud!

Robert: Bye, mom.

Joey: Bye, mom.

Mrs. Willis: Goodbye, boys… And good luck out there…

*The Heroes' parents waved goodbye as they watched their children go off into the terminals with their Digimon. The Heroes briefly looked back to see their parents, eyes full of tears. They hoped to return without any trouble during their adventure…*
