Return To Heighton View Terrace

The group are altogether and Tai takes up leadership. He tells everyone that they all have to go to Heighton View Terrace before Myotismon does. They have to find the Eighth Child! Sora wonders how much of a head start Myotismon has.

"Not even a minute has past between the time Myotismon left for Japan and when we arrived. Time flows at a different pace in the Digi World" Izzy comments.

"I'll say we've been gone for months in the Digi World and yet here in the real world it's the same day we left," Matt adds.

"You mean, all those adventures took less time then it does to say...'get a haircut?'" Joes asks. Joe is obvisiously awed at this very concept.

"Please Joe, don't exaggerate. Imagine, to get a haircut done in such a short amount of time," Mimi critizes. Mimi as usual missed the whole point.

The kids are back at camp, their cabin is on top of a hill, Tai starts to go down the steps. He tells the others he will go and make sure this is real Earth and asks for two volunteers to go with him. He turns around and looks back to see who will follow him and sees the whole group there behind him. They all look eager to go. They are all curious and want to see if this world is the one they all grew up in. Tai wonders what they will do..........

"Oh kids!!!"

"It's...our teacher!" Sora exclaims seeing a man in his late 30's running up the stone stairs. He has on brown thick rimmed glass, and his hair is dark brown, he has a long face and running up and waving at them. "We are back in the real world!" Sora manages to say in her disbelief.

"Mr. Fujiyama!" Tai runs up to his teacher and looks up at him, Tai was real glad to see him. Mr. Fujiyama asks the kids why they were all still there, they were supposed to pack up. He tells the kids that camp is cancelled because of the snow and everyone else is already packed up.

"Look at those dirty toys your holding. Where'd you get them?" Mr. Fujiyama asks not seeming very pleased. Each kid was holding their own Digimon.

"Who's he calling a dirty toy?!" Motimon says, not happy that he was called a dirty toy.

Izzy puts his hand over Motimon's mouth and whispers, "You can't let him know you can talk."

"Pretend to be stuffed animals," Matt whispers to Tsunomon, also puttting his hand over it's mouth.

Joe panics a bit and explains to the teacher that they were hiking up an unmarked trail. They all came across these stuffed toys, that someone had thrown away. Mr. Fujiyama wonders who in their right minds would hike up an uncharted trail and throw away seven stuffed toys. Tai agrees and he believes littering is crazy. So that's why they all wanted to be good citizens and helped clean up the mess. He also explains that he'll give his toy to his little sister Kari, that wasn't able to come to camp. Mr. Fujiyama remembers that Kari had gotten a cold. Tai adds that she felt much better because he came home and cooked her an omelette. "When did you do that?" Mr. Fujiyama asks.

"When I...." Koromon tries to say but Tai covers his mouth, preventing him from talking. Mr. Fujiyama didn't hear that.

"Uh when....that's a good question....Right before I left for camp." Tai says, thinking quick on his feet. Mr. Fujiyama says that it was nice thinking of his sister, but explains that those toys are filthy and belong in the garbage can. With that he runs back down the stairs.

"I'd like to get his gear together and throw him in the garbage can!" Koromon says, angry with Mr. Fujiyama for calling him filthy.

"Well, you won't be littering at least" Tai says jokingly.

The screen cuts to the city, there it is very sunny with many high rises. On top of one perticular high rise evil is starting to brew. "The Human World is so cluttered. All these creatures crammed on top of each other." Gatomon with Demidevimon beside her says.

"The Eighth Digi-destined lives nearby. What's next Myotismon?" Demidevimon asks and looks back to see his Master getting weaker.

Myotismon panting and trying hard to stand straight says, "Unfortunately until the sun goes down. I must remain hidden in the shaodws. Begin the search without me." He throws a pink crest and tag to Gatomon. "Here" He tells them that that is the Eighth Child's crest and it will detect the Eighth Child's digi vice.

"I won't let you down Lord Myotismon," Gatomon says gazing at the crest.

"I need to be alone," with that Myotismon runs to the door and goes in.

"I'll go with you boss!" Demidevimon flys toward the door, but Myotismon slams it shut and Demidevimon crashes face first into it.

Back at the camp ground, the group is hiding behind a group of bushes. They gaze out of the leaves and sees everyone all packed and lined up beside the bus. Many kids of all ages are there and chatting with friends. "Remember, don't talk in front of anyone else," Joe tells the Digimon.

"Don't worry, we'll pretend to be adorable stuffed animals," Palmon says.

Tai holding Koromon looks through the bushes. "WOW! Look at all those kids!" Tai scolds at Koromon. He had just told him not to talk out loud.

"We never knew there were more human children then you," Biyomon says, gazing at the hundred of children piling onto the bus.

"This is nothing, why just in the city alone there must be tens and thousands of kids like us," Sora explains, "And when you add the rest of the kids in the world, there must be millions!"

"You mean there are millions of Sora's??!!" Biyomon asks in amazement and looks up at Sora and seeing millions of Sora's behind her.

"No! There's only one of me," Sora says, a bit annoyed.

"She just means there are more kids our age. But there are tons of different people in the world." TK explains, every Digimon is amazed. They start heading toward the bus. Mimi sees someone she knows and runs to her, pushing Palmon aside and to the ground. "oof..."

"Hey it's Michelle!" Mimi runs waving frantically. "Oh I missed you so much!"

"You missed me? But I just saw you ten minutes ago," Michelle says to Mimi. Looking at Mimi, wondering if she's okay.

"What's going on?" Another girl comes.

"Mimi's wierd," Michelle tells the girl.

*gasp!* "Oh Terri!" Mimi hugs ther girl. Mimi is there smiling so hard, she really did miss them.

"She's wigging out," Terri says.

"Too much caffiene," Michelle comments.

"Oh Mimi...." Palmon says feeling a bit left out.

The rest of the group stays where they are and Izzy tells them that they need to get to Heighton View Terrace. Tai has an idea and runs over to Mr. Fujiyama and asks if the bus could drop them off at Heighton View Terrace. Mr. Fujiyama is talking to the bus driver and sees Tai, he tells him there is no way they can do that, the bus will take them straight home. Tai begging Mr. Fujiyama to drop them off at Heighton View Terrace. He asks why. Tai explains they all had a sudden feeling to go and visit their old hang-out. Mr. Fujiyama shakes his head and tells him that it's against the rules. The bus driver hears this and tells them that the bus goes pretty close to Heighton View Terrace and that it's within walking distance. Mt. Fujiyama starts to shake his head again and says that they have no permission to do that.

"Please Mr. Fujiyama? You'll break TK's heart if you don't let us go. It was the last place we all lived together as a family before our parents got divorced," Matt says sadly holding TK.

"Oh, brother...." TK looks up at Matt and hugs him. They start to cry.

"Mr. Fujiyama, please let us off at Heighton View Terrace. As an upper classmen, I'll take responsibility for getting them home," Joe says with confidence.

"Well.....I guess if a reliable kid like you is going Joe. Then it's OK. However call your parents so they know where you are," Mr. Fujiyama finally agrees.

"Thank you Mr. Fujiyama," Joe says bowing. (Bowing in Japan shows courtesy to their elders)

"Your the best teacher ever!" Tai shouts out.

"Yeah, yeah...yeah," Mr. Fujiyama walks over to the bus.

Tai turns around, "Hey how long are you going to keep that act up?"

Matt and TK look up and they both smile. "Hey if we didn't come up with something sappy like that, he never would of let us go," Matt explains.

"You mean that sad story was just an act? I was crying my eyes out so much for you guys that my glasses started to fog up," Joe admitted, looking shocked at the truth.

The sky was a brilliant blue and white puffs of clouds pass by as the bus drives across the highway. In the bus, Palmon, Gomamon and Biyomon are all lodged above in the carry-on storage rails. Mimi is busy talking to Michelle, Terri and another friend on the bus. The group is all sitting together. Izzy sits down with this finger posed in his laptop. He types away commenting that his laptop is 100% working. Also the Digi Vices are all properly functioning. "What's that?" an all too familiar voice asks, "Is that the latest toys all you kids are into?" Mr. Fujiyama asks.

"No, it's just one of the old ones that we all hate," Joe quickly says.

"Let me take a look," Mr. Fujiyama says, holding out his hand.

"It's broken!!!" Tai cries out, putting his Digi Vice away.

"Maybe I can fix it, I'm pretty good with electronics," Mr. Fujiyama talks to Sora, eager to see the Digi Vice.

"Yes sir," Sora relunctantly hands her Digi Vice to Mr. Fujiyama.

"Unlike other children, you listen to your teachers Sora," Mr. Fujiyama compliments Sora, looking over her Digi Vice.

Izzy tells Tai that there's nothing wrong with him looking at the Digi Vice, seeing how Tai reacted when Mr. Fujiyama insisted on looking at his Digi Vice. Tai explains to Izzy that he thought Mr. Fujiyama was an evil Digimon wanting to take his Digi Vice. Izzy sighs and shakes his head and tells Tai that he's spent too long in the Digi World. "Think about it, if he were an evil Digimon everytime you fail a test he'll scream out his attack at you....HOMEWORK BLASTER!"

"Actually it's more like Tickle Blaster," Mr. Fujiyama goes over to Tai and tickles him, everyone laughs.

Not too far away, Gatomon; Myotismon's loyal servant runs around Heighton View Terrace holding onto the crest. Raising the crest in front of a group of running children, the crest has no reaction. She runs along and stops near a basketball court where a group of kids are playing, still no reaction. "You can't turn over a rock without a kid under it." She turns to her left and a giant dog is growling furiously at her. The wild dog lunges at her. She jumps onto the chain link fence in front of her and swishes her tail at the dog. The metal near her tail bats the dog. The wild dog runs off whimpering. Gatomon jumps back down and laughs menacingly, "Heh heh."

Down...down...down, far below the streets, shadowy figures all crowd around a dark coffin. Knelt in front of it is Gatomon. The coffin slowly opens and reveals Myotismon. "What do you mean you haven't found the Eighth Digi Destined?! You have failed me," Myotismon says disappointedly.

"Please don't hurt me your evilship, the Digi Destined is not here," Gatomon says, still kneeling in front of Myotismon.

"Silence Gatomon. I have made several copies of the Digi Destined tags and crests, the one you have is a copt too," Myotismon explains in front of the numerous shadowy figures.

"So I'm a copycat?" Gatomon looks up surprised.

"The originals with me, even though they are only copies. They will still be activated when the Eighth Chils is nearby. This time make no mistake, you must find that child. If you do find him, kill him."

The Digi Destined gets off their bus and head towards Heighton View Terrace. They walk along a bridge and see a big building, its a department store. Sora tells the group that they used to live there. Tai remembers, he was in the same elementary school as her; Westside Elementary. Matt says he went to it also.

"Your kidding, you mean you guys were telling the truth when you lived at Heighton View Terrace?" Joe asks surprised. Everyone nods and looks around. They think that it's a strange coincident that everyone used to live there.

"There's got to be some meaning here," Izzy says, not believing that it was all a strange coincident. A dark cloud looms above the group looks up and sees a flock of bats! MYOTISMON!

"They can run but they can't hide from Mammothmon," Gatomon says, jumping across buildings and finally doing a front flip and landing on top of a bulding. Mammothmon charges through the daylight marching into the way of cars. Mammothmon is in a rage and flips over cars and lashes out on lamps and motorcycles. Mammothmon walks past a group of people and they think they're filming a movie. "What's that big earred freak trying to do? Destroy the Digi Destineds with everything too? We should of never brought that type of Digimon for this," Gatomon says critizing the poor choice they made. Mammothmon charges into an insection and stops. Cars swerve right and left, trying to dodge the giant elephant like Digimon. Someone stops and trys to call the cops on his cellulat phone, but the phone is dead! He looks up and sees a giant foot coming down. He opens his car door and jumps out just in time to see his car smashed and flattened.

The Digi Destined stop in front of a candy shop. They all remember it, it was Mimi's favorite place to shop. Izzy doesn't remember that he lived here. Joe says that's because he only lived there for six months. Joe explains that his whole family left because of a terroist bombing. Everyone was scared and moved away. It was in all the newspapers four years ago. The newspapers described it as the worst terroist attack the city had, the police had no clues as to who was involved. People just said that it was too dangerous and they all got scared and moved. The kids try to take this all in, when they hear screaming and police sirens flaring. They run to a road that's all crushed and destroyed, a police car pulls up and tells the kids to go home and then drives off. "Where there's trouble there's Myotismon," Tai exclaims. They all run into the direction of the crushing sounds. What they expected didn't even come close to what they saw.

"MAMMOTHMON, a fully digivolved Digimon. It has the strength of a Mammoth with missles called Tusk Crusher and has a chilling attack that freezes its opponents." This giant brown wooly mammoth, has a metal face plate in it's face with a giant painted yellow eye in the center. Another police car pulls up and warns to kids that it's a danger zone and to find somewhere safe to hide. The police officer tries his radio, but it's dead and he drives off. Koromon and Tsunomon want to fight it. But Matt holds them back telling them that it's fully digivolved and they can't fight.

"Just leave everything to me," Biyomon flys up and a digi vice is heard. "BIYOMON digivolve to......BIRDRAMON!!!" Birdramon swoops down in front of Mammothmon and flys up, "Meteor Wings!" She flaps her wings and charges, she unleashes numerous fireballs. The fireballs reach the target but they bounce off Mammothmon and into a couple of telephone booths. They erupt in flames. Sora looks shocked. She sees a burnt building in her mind. Mammothmon picks up a bus and throws it towards Birdramon. Birdramon dodges. Izzy gasps, and remembers a torn bus in his mind.

"TUSK CRUSHER!" Mammothmon hits his target and Birdramon falls behind a building. Mammothmon goes after her.

"There were two! There were two monsters!" TK suddenly shouts. Everyone doesn't understand what he said but Matt does.

"Oh man, now I remember a long time ago TK was insisting he saw two monsters. And my Mom was upset at him about it," Matt explains. A flashback ensues......Four years ago, a younger looking Matt hides behind the kitchen wall and eavesdrop on his brother and mother's conversation. A very young TK with no hat talks to his Mom, who is washing the dishes. TK tells his Mom that he saw two monsters. "TK there are no such things as monsters, you were imagining it or maybe it was a dream. Now that's enough." Matt explains that he assumed it was TK's imagination and that he imagined the whole thing.

Meanwhile, Birdramon and Mammothmon are still fighting. Mammothmon swings his giant trunk towards Birdramon. Birdramon sees this and dodges out of the way. Birdramon takes to the sky and "METEOR WINGS!" Still, the fireballs bounce off Mammothmon. The kids all are starting to remember, they remember a giant fireball destroyed the bridge and the Digimon was different. It wasn't a flying type Digimon. Birdramon expecting Mammothmon to swing his trunk, catches and holds onto it.

"SNOW BREATH!" Mammothmon breathes an icy blast of Artic air straight into Birdramon's face, turning it into solid ice. Birdramon falls down in a crumpled heap.

"BIRDRAMON!!!" Sora cries out. Sora's crest begins to glow. A 3D Digi Vice shines out a light and shines into the Crest of Love. "Birdramon digivolve to.........GARUDAMON"

"TUSK CRUSHER!" Mammothmon sends two tusk missles towards Sora and Tai. Garudamon quickly covers Sora and Tai with her massive hands/claws. The missles explode with a giant bang. When the smoke clears, Garudamon rises and looks at Mammothmon. Tai looks up too and remembers the whole night. He was thinking about the fire-breathing monster..........it was Greymon! He was with Kari that night, he too had covered Kari from the debris. "TUSK CRUSHER!" Garudamon dodged it easily with just moving her head to one side. Garudamon flys down and rides on Mammothmon, Mammothmon furious stomps everywhere. Tai remembers everything now. The day Koromon came to fight the Bird-like Digimon. After the fight, he disappeared.

Garudamon flys up with Mammothmon and drops him to the ground, Mammothmon lands with a sickening crash into the bridge. "WING BLADE!" Garudamon raises her hands up and a giant red firey birdlike projectile appears behind her, it rises up and heads straight towards Mammothmon. The fiery pheonix smashes into Mammothmon and Mammothmon is destroyed.

Garudamon de digi-volves into Yokomon and drops to the ground where she is caught by Sora. "I did have a feeling when I first met Tai that we had met somewhere before," Koromon says. Tai explains that's probably why Kari knew Koromon, it were Digimon all along and not a terroist bombing. The police start arriving to the scene, the kids all run.

In a safe grassy park, the kids discuss what they found out. Izzy explains that its odd that out of all the kids at camp they were the ones chosen. It seemed that they are all connected by some certain common event. They all saw the fight, they say Greymon fighting this other Digimon. This means that the Eighth Child must of seen the fight also. Izzy also explains that Myotismon wouldn't make such a big deal if they did find the Eighth Child. So they all still have some hope left.

Tai looks up to the blue sky and says out loud, "The Eighth Digi Destined....he might be someone we know......."
