Marcy: Hi, I'm, like, Marcy... like, us Chrono Cross characters are owned by Square... like... can I kill them yet?
Prophet: No, Marcy. And all the Digimon characters are owned by Toei (or something like that). Let the story begin.
Yolei was looking for the perfect gift for Ken. Tomorrow was his 16th birthday, and she had to get him the most perfect present.
Yolei: Man... what am I going to get Ken for his birthday? I completely forgot about it... If I ever am going to have a chance with him...
Kari: Just tell him that you forgot. I'm sure he won't mind.
Yolei: You don't get it, Kari. I want him to love my present.
Kari: Oh, like how Davis bought me 'the perfect present' las year... Well, at least there is a chance he likes you.
Yolei: See, I need a gift so he'll love me forever.
Kari: I never remember your crush on Ken being this bad.
Yolei: It's not a crush... I'm in love.
Hearts appear all around Yolei's head. Davis walks in.
Davis: Yolei, what's with the hearts?
Kari: She's in love with Ken.
Yolei: And I have to find him the most perfect birthday present.
Davis: Look what I got. (pulls out Chrono Cross) Isn't it cool?
Yolei: Does Ken want any video games?
Davis: This is my video game. Come on, Kari, let's go play it.
Kari: (sighs) What's it about?
Davis: A boy named Serge, who is dead in another universe, but is alive in his and he goes to this other world and he has to find out why.
Yolei: So that would be like if, somehow, Ken's brother came here.
Davis: Yeah... sort of. Oh, look, here comes Ken, now.
Ken walks in.
Davis: Ken, lookie what I got! Chrono Cross! It's, like, so cool!
Ken: Sure, whatever...
Davis: What's bothering you?
Ken: (shrugs)
Yolei: I'll give him a kiss to make him feel better.
Ken: I'm alright... I just saw someone who reminded me of my brother.
Kari: Oh.
Yolei: If only there were another universe where Sam was still alive.
Davis: Yeah, like Chrono Cross.
Yolei: I have an idea.
Yolei leaves Ken, Davis, and Kari standing there. She runs all the way home to get her money. She thinks Ken will like the Chrono Cross game. But... Yolei doesn't know what will befall her.
Voice: I know your secret...
Yolei: What? Who are you?
Voice: Zat I cannot tell you... but, zere is a way to bring back Sam.
Yolei: Yeah right. Other worlds don't exist.
Voice: What about the Digital World? Non?
Yolei: Yeah, but that doesn't have alternate personages.
Voice: Moi, I know of ze world zat does, mon amie... where angels lose zere way...
Yolei: How exactly do I get to this 'other world'.
Voice: Concentrate. T'ink about it... allez!!
Yolei concentrates. The world spins around her, and she faints.
2nd Voice: She's coming to.
3rd Voice: Good. I wonder who she is?
Yolei: Where am I?
2nd Voice: You're in Termina
3rd Voice: We found you unconscious.
Yolei: I must be dreaming.
2nd Voice: Hello, I'm Riddel Viper.
3rd Voice: And I'm Glenn. Nice to meet you.
Riddel: We were paying our respects to Dario, my lover and Glenn's brother.
Glenn: If only we could get to the world where Dario was alive.
Yolei: Oh, yeah! That's why I'm here. To find my friend's brother, who died 8 or so years ago.
Riddel: But, how? The gap between the worlds is closed. The Astral Amulet is with Schala/Kid.
Glenn: I thought all passages between the worlds were permanently sealed. I thought this was the only one left.
Yolei: Yet, I arrived here.
Riddel: I haven't learned your name yet.
Yolei: Oh, I'm Yolei Inoue.
Glenn: That name doesn't ring a bell.
Yolei: I'm looking for a Sam Ichijouji.
Riddel: Hmm... sounds vaguely familiar. Maybe we should go ask my father, General Viper.
Glenn: I better return there, anyway.
Yolei, Glenn and Riddel head to Viper Manor. They walk right in to a meeting between General Viper and his three Devas.
Viper: So, that is your mission.
Marcy: Can I kill them?
Viper: Marcy, for the last time, your mission is to save them!
Karsh: Where exactly is this 'Japan' anyway?
Zoah: NEVER HEARD OF IT.
Yolei: I'm from Japan.
Viper: Oh, hello Riddel, Glenn. Who's the girl?
Riddel: She's Yolei: She traveled between worlds to find her friend's brother. He's dead in the world where she is from.
Viper: And she's from Japan?
Karsh: Maybe she can guide us there.
Zoah: SHE LOOKS YOUNG.
Viper: Marcy is only 9. You're 16, aren't you, Zoah?
Zoah: YES.
Yolei: I'm 16 and a half!
Marcy: I want to, like, kill somebody!
Karsh: Marcy, I thought you outgrew that phase.
Viper: Very well. Karsh, Zoah, Marcy and Yolei will travel to Japan to save the world from what Luccia calls 'rampaging Pips and NeoFios'.
Yolei: (to herself) Does he mean Digimon?
The four of them travel to Japan
Yolei: Can we hurry! I ned to be back by tomorrow, so I can give Ken his 16th birthday present.
Marcy: Is he your boyfriend?
Karsh: Marcy!!
Yolei: Well... I would like him to be my boyfriend.
Karsh: And I would like Riddel to be my girlfriend... but she's not... so, what's your point?
Zoah: WE HAVE ARRIVED.
Yolei: (to herself) Man, he talks weird...
The four of them travel to what would be Tokyo.
Townsperson: They're evil! Evil, I say!
Marcy: Like, what's going on?
Townsperson: The Digimon, they're evil! (Townsperson faints)
Yolei: Digimon?
Zoah: LIKE THAT ONE. (points to a Patamon)
Yolei: Patamon? It's me! Yolei!
Patamon: No way! I saw you five minutes ago! And why have you switched sides?
Yolei: Why are you attacking the villagers?
Patamon: Because... It's the Czarina's will, and you're the Czarina.
Karsh: There must me a misunderstanding.
Marcy: She's, like, from an alternate world.
Patamon: Alternate world?
Yolei: Patamon, please explain.
Patamon: After Myotismon killed Ken, you went berserk and started calling yourself the Digimon Czarina.
Yolei: We must stop her. Oh, and do you know where Ken's brother, Sam, is?
Patamon: Sam? He's probably at Ken's grave... He's there nearly every day.
Yolei: Thanks, Patamon.
Karsh: But how do we stop the rampaging Digimon?
Yolei: I must do it.
Two hours later, Yolei is dressed as the Digimon Czarina.
Yolei: Digimon, listen to me! Stop attacking everyone! I've changed my mind: humans and Digimon shall live in peace.
Slowly, a figure walks in. It steps out of the shadows... it's the real Digimon Czarina
Digimon Czarina: Who's this impostor?
Hawkmon: She looks exactly like you.
Digimon Czarina: She does...
Yolei: Digimon Czarina, I'm your alternate self. Please stop attacking the innocent citizens of Tokyo.
Digimon Czarina: But... my Ken... he's dead!
Yolei: In this world... yes... but he's alive in my world... and a lot more people are going to die if you don't stop attacking Tokyo!
Marcy: (crying) This is, like, so touching.
Zoah: IT GETS ME RIGHT HERE.
Karsh: She's good. MAybe she can take Dario's place as a Deva.
Rika: What about me and Renamon?
Marcy: who are you?
Rika: I'm Rika. I've always wanted to be one of the Devas. They have inspired me.
Digimon Czarina: So, Ken lives in the other world?
The Digimon Czarina stops to think. She reverts to alt-Yolei.
Alt-Yolei: Digimon, stop! Follow me back to the Digital World!
Rika: All right! We won!
Renamon: We shouldn't even be here.
Rika: The Harlequin brought us here.
Karsh: Harlequin?
Rika: Yeah. She called herself Harle.
Karsh: (to the Devas) Harle's alive?
Yolei: Is that who brought me here?
Rika: Perhaps. Come, Renamon, let's leave them alone.
Renamon: Yes, Rika.
One hour later, the Digimon have stopped attacking. The Devas and Yolei are now looking for Sam.
Karsh: Here's the graveyard that Patamon said he'd be in.
Yolei: Sam? Is there a Sam Ichijouji here?
A young man of about 19 or 20 turns around.
Man: I'm Sam Ichijouji, but why are you here? You're disturbing my brother's grave.
Yolei: Do you want to see your brother again?
Sam: Don't kid me... He's dad... Myotismon used him... and killed him...
Yolei: I'm from an alternate world. In my world... you are dead... but Ken is alive.
Sam: So there really are other worlds, like the Harlequin told me.
Karsh: You saw her, too?
Marcy: Like, where?
Sam: By my brother's grave.
Yolei: Would you like to come live in my world? I'm sure Ken would love to see you.
Sam: But... How to explain my revival from the dead...
Yolei: Alternate worlds. I mean, there are obviously other worlds besides the Digital World.
Karsh: Yeah, we've been world traveling.
Marcy: This is kind of like Serge.
Zoah: BUT HOW DOES YOLEI GET BACK?
Voice: I know ze answer!
A harlequin appears on top of Ken's grave.
Harle: I am Harle. Sam, mon ami, go to ze other world... I can take you zere: where angels lose zere way.
Yolei: Oh, please.
Sam: I do miss Ken... and I am sure he misses me...
Harle: Goodbye, Devas! Yolei, sam, concentrate. T'ink about it. You will be tres happy, mon amis.
Yolei closes her eyes and holds sam's hand. When she opens them, she is standing outside her house. She looks at her watch... oh, no! Somehow, time had passed and Ken's birthday party was about to start. Yolei and Sam raced to the Ichijouji residence.
Ken: Where is Yolei?
Kari: I haven't seen her since after school.
Davis: Yeah, Chrono Cross is really cool.
Ken: It's not like Yolei to be late.
Kari: Yeah, even Davis was here before her.
Davis: That's not funny.
T.K.: I didn't say that was funny.
Davis: You were grinning, T.Q.
Cody: T.K., Davis, stop it!
Yolei runs in, with Sam following her.
Yolei: Happy birthday, Ken. I've brought you the best present ever.
Sam: Ken... It's really you!
Ken: S...Sam! Yolei... but, how?
Yolei: It's a long story, Ken.
Davis: Yeah, this is like Chrono Cross, where, in one world, Riddel is alive and in the other Dario is alive.
Yolei: I met Riddel.
Sam: You were dead in the other world, Ken. I really missd you.
Davis: That's impossible, Yolei. Chrono Cross is just a game. But, where did you get Sam?
T.K.: Davis, don't spoil the happy reunion.
Cody: This is so sweet.
Kari: If Tai dies, will you get the alternate one, Yolei?
Yolei: I'm not sure if I can get back. So, Ken, how did you like my present?
Ken: Yolei... This is the best birthday present I have ever recieved.
Ken and Sam hug. Yolei stands behind Ken. Davis and T.K. fight. Kari cries. Cody watches carefully.
Davis: So that means my present isn't that good.
Yolei: Davis! Don't spoil the moment!
All: (laugh)
