AnimeAdmirer's (Digimon: Tamers)The Icemon Cometh Summary written by Dawn....Thank you! Riley is already tracking a wild Digimon. Meanwhile, Rika walks downtown, thinking about all the times the Digimon digivolved. For some reason, she's not happy. Just then, she feels an icy hand, but as she turns about, she sees...nothing. Calumon walks up to her, then Rika's mom shows up, drawing a crowd. She dotes on the cute little Calumon, making Rika feel embarrassed. At Rika's home, she tells Calumon to buzz off, and he does so, tearfully. Rika feels the icy hands again, but sees nothing. Impmon shows up, (Impmon: "Hey there fine and foxy, what can I do ya for?") but Renamon ignores him; she then tells him not to bother with Terriermon, because Terriermon won't fight either. Rika's mom tries to get her to wear a cute dress, but Rika runs back to her room (Rika's Grandmother: "Honestly dear, there's more to life than just being pretty." Rika's Mom: "Really, like what?"). Once again, she feels the hands, and sees a shape; panicked, she calls Renamon to check around. Renamon finds nothing. Angry, Rika denounces Renamon and stalks off. (Despite the tense scene I love the background music they play at this moment!) In the park, Takato practices his card slash stance, but Henry reminds him that card combos are just as important. Impmon shows up and attacks, but the boys ignore him. At the last moment, Terriermon fights back, and sends Impmon flying. A thoughtful Renamon debates with herself on how to get closer to Rika. The girl in question feels the hands again, and chases the spectral figure she sees. In a instant, she's kidnapped. IceDevimon greets her in his icy digital field, telling her she is the perfect Tamer for him. Rika calls for Renamon, who begins to bolt, but then decides to stay where she is. IceDevimon then displays all his "trophies"--frozen Digimon he defeated. Rika refuses to be IceDevimon's partner, who then decides he will prove himself by calling Renamon to a fight. The boys show up, and attack; Guilmon and Terriermon immediately get frozen in their first charge. A pensive Calumon looks on. The boys beat at the frozen Digimon, trying to break them out. Henry tries a heat card, without luck. Renamon shows up, but is badly beaten by IceDevimon. Rika then admits loudly that she cares for Renamon as a friend. Happy, Calumon helps Renamon digivolve. Even with the added power, Kyubimon is losing badly. Henry tries an expansion card on Terriermon, who grows so huge the ice he's in breaks. Takato and Guilmon attack IceDevimon with a card combo, decimating him, and leaving Guilmon the chance to absorb data. As most of the group cheers their victory, Rika declares she hates Digimon. Much Ado About Musyamon Summary written by Stan....Thank you! Still hating Digimon, Rika throws her Digimon stuff away. Takato beats Kazu at the Card Game, an unheard of occurrence. Takato then states he has real life experience, growing overconfident. Meanwhile, Henry and Terriermon spot a digital field, but Henry forbids Terriermon to fight, forcefully pulling him away. Yamaki, angry at all the wild Digimon, employs Yuggoth on the new anomaly. It destroys the anomaly; back in the Twin Towers, a voice promises vengeance against Yamaki. Henry tries to explain to Terriermon why he wasn't allowed to fight. Renamon catches Henry's attention, while Terriermon is left to endure Suzie's Ms. Pretty Pants treatment. Calumon rejoins Rika, asking her to be happy again; Rika simply smiles. Henry ponders why he wouldn't let Terriermon fight and grow. Renamon tells him she wants a friendship with Rika; Henry asks her why he and his friends were chosen to be Tamers. Renamon has no answer. Terriermon finally escapes Suzie when she falls asleep. The next day at school, Henry catches up to Takato, as do Kazu and Kanta. Kazu demands a rematch, and wins with ease. Angry, Takato boasts about his real life experience again, then shows Guilmon to them. Guilmon sneezes, scaring the boys away. Guilmon then senses Musyamon returning again, and he and Takato run to intercept him. Meanwhile, Riley and Tally deploy Yuggoth, which Musyamon instantly destroys. He then hunts down Guilmon. Takato frantically swipes cards like crazy, with little affect. Yamaki runs to the site, as does Henry. Once again, Henry forbids Terriermon to fight--until a young girl stumbles into the digital field. Musyamon spots the girl and prepares to slice her. Panicked, Henry tells Terriermon to fight. Terriermon does one better--he grows to Gargomon and beats Musyamon, absorbing his data. As the field disappears, the boys return the girl to her mom and run off. In the park, Henry apologies to Gargomon for not letting him fight. Takato apologies to Guilmon for swiping too many cards. From a distance, Yamaki watches. Divided They Stand Summary written by Stan....Thank you! As another wild digimon bio-emerges, Yamaki ponders over the kids he saw, and decides they are getting in the way. Kazu and Kanta are nervous around Takato now, and try to deny what they saw was real. Jeri overhears the conversation. Rika tries to tell herself she doesn't need Renamon--while she searches for Renamon. A swarm of Flybeemon appear and Renamon is already in the midst of them fighting. Rika, joined by Calumon, stands outside of the digital field. Renamon is struck by a stinger, realizes that she is about to lose, and wonders where Rika could be. Henry shows up with Terriermon and finds it odd that Rika isn't in the fight with Renamon. Upset, Rika runs away, Calumon following her. He tries to tell her to be happy, then wanders back to the digital field to play with Terriermon. Henry watches Renamon beat the Flybeemon and absorb them, then talks to her. He tells her the concept of partners--of how they are supposed to be equals that know each other's strengths and weaknesses. Later, Henry tells Takato about the whole scene. Yamaki stops them, warning them to stop being involved with Digimon. As Henry chases after Yamaki, Jeri appears and begs Takato to show her Guilmon. Giving in, Takato shows her to him; she is beyond delighted to meet Guilmon. Up on a rooftop, Impmon watches two young kids fight over a stuffed animal and remembers what it was like to live with them. He decides it wasn't worth it, and as he turns to leave, Renamon approaches him. She follows him and asks him questions about partners. He tells her he has no partner because humans are stupid, and besides, the strength to win is in her, and her alone--she doesn't need a partner. Renamon wanders away to think about this, then decides regretfully that Impmon may be right. Rika hides away in her room, junking her digivice again and refusing to talk to anyone; her grandmother tries anyway, telling the girl that everyone needs someone. Harpymon emerges in a forest, and Renamon is quickly on the scene, fighting intensely. As Jeri leaves for home, Guilmon senses Harpymon and he and Takato, plus Henry and Terriermon, run to the digital field. Calumon digs into Rika's trash can and tries to give her the digivice back. Renamon is beating Harpymon as Rika appears. The girl is taken aback by Renamon's obvious power; she's afraid Renamon doesn't need her. Renamon also recognizes her power, and leaves a dazed Harpymon lying on the ground, deciding that fighting and absorbing data just isn't worth it anymore. Harpymon recovers and slices Renamon, then begins to win the fight. Cardless, searching desperately for something to help Renamon, Rika picks up a sharp stick and stabs Harpymon in the back. Furious, the Digimon turns on Rika, about to kill her, when Calumon helps Renamon digivolve to Kyubimon, and destroy Harpymon. Kyubimon refuses to absorb Harpymon, telling Rika she no longer needs experience, because she has Rika to help her grow. Yamaki continues to spy from a distance. |
