*It was early afternoon on the busy and bustling streets of New York City. Two teenage boys were sitting lazily on the sidewalk. One of then was tall, had dark drown hair, and was wearing a black Greek Fisherman's cap, a pair of black sunglasses, and a long black coat and shirt. This was Robert Willis. The one sitting next to him was about an inch shorter with pale skin, scraggly black hair, and was wearing a black shirt with a white skull on the front, a spiked collar around his neck, black wrist bands, about a dozen belts around his pants, and a pair of black shoes with spikes on the top. This was Chris Christie, Robert's best friend. The two of them were skipping school and wondering what to do for fun*

Chris: *sighs* We need something to do…

Robert: We could go to school, but what's the point?

Chris: School sucks, I'd rather be an Emo than go there.

Robert: *chuckles* Hate to see you like that.

Chris: You'd hate me on a bad day. *looks at Robert evilly with a glint in his eye*

Robert: Nothing you do can scare me. Nothing does. *sweat drops* Except my brother on too much sugar.

Chris: *looks at Robert, not amused, but with a slight smile* I don't see how you can be so cheery, it's yet another dark and dingy day in New York.

Robert: I don't know why I hang out with you. Oh yeah, we both wear black.

Chris: And the fact we've known each other since kindergarten.

Robert: Do you ever want more out of life?

Chris: Yeah, I wanna see the world and do something no one else has. No chance of that here. *pulls out cigarette pack from his pocket* Can I smoke?

Robert: Sure. You know what I want? I want…I want my mom to be…proud of me.

Chris: *takes out a cigarette and lights it* Isn't she already proud that you haven't gotten killed in a gang war or something? *begins smoking the cigarette*

Robert: I don't know why I'm like this, she thinks its 'cause of you.

Chris: Me…I'm a Goth, the scum of the earth, apparently against god because of my music taste. Why on earth would she think that. *rolls his eyes*

Robert: *frowns, knowing it's obvious* Anyway, me and Eva are going out tomorrow and I need to get cash, fast.

Chris: Rob a bank?

Robert: Too obvious.

Chris: Rob an old lady?

Robert: Tried it.

Chris: Rob a rich dude?

Robert: Too hard.

Chris: Well whatever you're gonna do, don't involve me.

???: Psst, hey you!

Chris: Huh? *looks around*

*Just then, a tall mysterious man dressed in a brown trench coat and crumpled hat walked out from the shadows of an alleyway and up two the two boys*

Man: I hear you need cash, I can give it to ya.

Chris: Don't trust him Rob, he could be a drug dude.

Man: No drugs. *opens his coat to reveal nothing but a pair of red Pikachu boxer shorts* See, I'm clean.

Chris: *looks suspiciously at him* Come here. *opens his mouth to reveal fake vampire fangs* Let me sink my teeth into your neck.

Man: *raises an eyebrow as he closes his coat* Your friend there is creeping me out.

Robert: *knocks the vampire teeth out of Chris' mouth* Yeah, that's Chris for ya. Anyway you can give me cash?

Man: That depends, you got anything to sell to me? If you do, then you get cash.

Chris: *shakes his head* I knew there was a catch. C'mon, let's just go.

Robert: Wait… My mo- I mean, I got this gold necklace at home. Will that do?

Man: Hmm… *extends his hand* Deal! *shakes hands with Robert*

Chris: *looks at Robert as if he can't believe what he just said* Huh? *whispers* DUDE, THAT'S YOUR MOM'S!!!

Robert: *whispers* It's old. Besides, I'm desperate.

*Suddenly, police sirens could be heard as a squad car was seen driving towards the group at great speed*

Robert: *eyes widen* Cops!

Chris: *shakes his head* Dude, I'm not apart of this.

Man: *eyes widen* Crud, the fuzz! Listen, meet me here tomorrow night with the necklace. *runs away* You never saw me!

Robert: Crap, we aren't in school, let's cheese it!!

*Robert and Chris then began to run from the squad car as it chased them throughout numerous streets. But eventually, the car had lost their trail and gave up the search. The boys, who were hiding out in an alleyway, came out and sighed in relief*

Robert: That was close.

Chris: This is all your fault!

Robert: Hey, we BOTH skipped school, remember?

Chris: Yeah, but it's gonna be your fault when your mom finds out you're selling her stuff.

Robert: She won't even notice. She hasn't worn that thing in years.

Chris: I think she will, didn't your dad give that to her?

Robert: Don't talk about him, dude! He's dead, remember?

Chris: Exactly, so your mom is gonna know if it's missing.

*Meanwhile, at George Washington High School, Joey; Robert's younger brother, was working in computer class. He had spiky brown hair and was dressed in a brown vest over an orange t-shirt over a black long sleeved shirt, tan shorts, and a gray headband with a red line in the middle. His teacher was Mr. Morrissey, a tall man with straight orange hair, mustache, and wore a pair of reading glasses*

Mr. Morrissey: Alright class, you have only a few minutes left before class is over to finish your assignments.

*Joey sat next to an African American boy about his age, who had dark dreadlocked hair, and was hearing a red headband, a New York Knicks jersey on top of a white t-shirt, and a pair of red gym shorts. This was Jermaine Williams; his best friend. He was typing away at his computer, trying to upload something onto youtube*

Joey: *looks over at Jermaine* What are you doing, Jermaine?

Jermaine: Trying to upload my music video project onto Youtube. If Mr. Morrissey likes it, maybe the world wide web will, too.

Joey: *chuckles* Who wouldn't.

Jermaine: How's Robert doin'?

Joey: Aww, he skipped school again to hang out with Chris.

Jermaine: The Goth kid?

Joey: Yup.

Jermaine: *shakes his head* Man, that guy is whack!

*Just then, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the school day as the students began to leave the classroom*

Jermaine: Aww man! Guess I'll have to finish it tomorrow. *gets out of his chair and leaves the classroom*

*As Joey was about to leave as well, Mr. Morrissey walked up from behind and tapped him on the shoulder*

Mr. Morrissey: Joey, may I use your help for a second?

Joey: *turns to see Mr. Morrissey* Sure, what can I do for ya?

Mr. Morrissey: Could you move these old discs into the top shelf in the closet? My back isn't what it used to be. *hands Joey a cardboard box full of computer equipment*

Joey: *takes the box* Sure, no problem.

*Joey then walked the box into the closet. But as he put it away on the middle shelf, he noticed another box on the bottom shelf with a strange blue disc shining from inside it*

Joey: Hmm. *picks out the disc and slips it into his pants pocket and walks out of the closet* See ya. *walks out of classroom*

*Meanwhile, Robert and Chris were walking home, making sure any cops weren't following them or anything*

Robert: Eva deserves the best date ever, so its either her or the necklace.

Chris: Dude, I'll give you the money…just so long as you pay me back. I don't wanna see you like…being murdered by your mom when she finds out.

Robert: No dude, you need that money. Besides I already made a deal.

Chris: Yeah, I need that money for usual pint of blood… *looks at Robert, evilly*

Robert: No more jokes dude, okay?

Chris: I don't joke. You know that.

*Soon enough, the two of them had stopped outside the steps to Robert's house*

Robert: Listen, it's getting late, I'm going home. See you tomorrow?

Chris: Yeah sure, I'm going shopping for CD's. See ya. *walks down the sidewalk toward home*

Robert: *goes up to his house and walks through the front door* Mom, I'm home.

*Just then, Robert saw his mom waiting in the hallway. She was about three inches shorter than he was, had spiky brown hair, and was dressed in a white t-shirt and blue jean shorts. She was looking very upset at Robert*

Mrs. Willis: Robert, I just got off the phone with the police. They say you've skipped school again and that you ran from one of their squad cars.

*Robert just looked away from his mom, a little embarrassed*

Mrs. Willis: Robert, I have had it! Do you want to go to Juvenile Hall? Is that it? *takes Robert's cheek and turns his head toward her* Robert, look at me. I'm having a hard time enough trying to keep food on the table without you--

Robert: Mom, it's no big deal. Those cops just won't get off my-- Forget it. *begins to walk up the stairs to his room*

Mom: Robert, I just don't want to see you…throw away your entire future.

Robert: Yeah, what future? *continues to climb the stairs*

*Later, Robert had laid his coat on his bed and was working on the computer in his room. Just then, there was a knock at the door*

Robert: Who is it?

Joey: *on the other side of the door* It's me, Joey. Can I come in?

Robert: *sighs* Fine.

Joey: *opens the door and walks into the room* Hey bro, can I use your computer for a bit?

Robert: Why?

Joey: *pulls the disc out from his pocket* I found this really cool disc at school today.

Robert: Is it a computer game?

Joey: *inspecting the disc* Hmm… I don't know.

Robert: I don't wanna risk it, it could have a virus.

Joey: Come on bro, please?

Robert: *sighs* Alright, but don't beg like a dog again.

*Robert then took the disc and inserted it into his computer. Just then, a screen popped up reading, 'DIGIMON: Digital Monsters Project. Click here to activate'*

Robert: Hmm… Strange… Not like any computer game I've ever seen. *clicks the screen*

*Just then, the screen turned black and the word 'ERROR' was repeated in red letters all over the screen*

Robert: *eyes widen* Whoa! What's going on? There is a virus on here, isn't there?

Joey: I don't know, don't blame me!

*The computer screen then began to glow with a bright yellow light as the computer itself began to shake violently out of control*

Robert: Get down, it's gonna blow!! *tackles Joey to the floor*

*Suddenly, the computer shot out several beams of yellow light from the screen that went out the window. After it was over, Robert and Joey slowly got up to see that the computer was now charred with smoke emitting from it and a large crack running down the screen*

Robert: Oh no, my computer's fried!! *ejects the disc from his computer* Damn disc!! *throws the disc onto his desk*

Joey: Dude, I-I'm sorry.

Robert: Just get out!

*Joey said nothing and sadly left Robert's room*

Robert: *to himself* It's okay, Robert. You can fix it with the money you're gonna get from the necklace… I hope.

*Later that night, Robert, dressed in his pajamas, slowly and quietly snuck into his mom's bedroom while she was sleeping and snatched away the necklace from her bedside table*

Robert: *looking sad* Sorry, mom.

*Meanwhile, out in the city, a tall mysterious figure looked upon the city from atop a large building*

???: Robert…my partner.

*The next morning, Robert and Joey were walking to school when Eva; Robert's girlfriend, walked up to them with a smile on her face. She was tall, had purple eyes and long hair, and was dressed in a light violet shirt and bellbottom pants*

Eva: Hey Guys, what's up?

Robert: Not now, Eva. We had a weird night last night.

Joey: I found a disc at school yesterday. I took it home and we tried it out on our computer, and it almost exploded!

Eva: Oh gosh, really?

Robert: Yup. *stops in front of an alleyway* I'm taking a short cut. See you later.

Eva: Oh… Okay.

Joey: You're not skipping again, are you?

Robert: Who cares? *walks into the alleyway*

Joey: I'm worried about him…

Eva: Me too… Joey, do you really think he's skipping school again?

Joey: Something in my gut says yes. *looks curiously at Eva* What do you see in him, anyway?

Eva: To tell you the truth…I really don't know.

*Meanwhile, Robert walked down the dark alleyway toward the street on the other end*

Robert: *to himself* Why do they care if I go to school or not? I have better things to do.

*Just then, a figure rushed by in the shadows. Robert stopped and looked around to see what it was. He then shrugged off the feeling and kept on walking*

???: You are the one who released us from the disc…are you not?

*Robert stopped again, this time fully aware of a presence. He looked around and picked up a rusty pipe off the ground, holding it close to him like a club*

???: You've released more than just simple data, Robert…

Robert: Back off, Jack. I got a pipe!

*Just then, the figure stepped out from the shadows behind Robert. Robert turned around to see a tall female anthropomorphic yellow fox with purple streaks under her eyes and on her calves, along with purple silk gauntlets on her arms. Each of the gauntlets had a yin yang on them. She just stood there, staring at Robert as he turned pale with fear*

Robert: *eyes widen in fright* AAAAHHHH!!! *swings the pipe at the fox*

Fox: *catches the pipe in her hand* Robert Willis, the chosen Digidestined…I am Renamon. *throws the pipe away*

Robert: *backs away in fear* W-W-What the hell are you? Some kind of crazy cosplayer or something?!

Renamon: I assure you that this is not a costume, young human. I am a Digimon, a digital monster, whose data was burnt onto the disc that you may still possess…yet my data wasn't the only one that was burnt onto it.

Robert: *raises an eyebrow* Huh? Look, If you want my money or anything, take it! Just keep away!

Renamon: I have no need for such things, young tamer.

Robert: Tamer? I don't need a pet.

Renamon: I'm not what you call a "pet"… I am to be your partner.

Robert: *nervously walks away* Well, I don't need one of those either! I'm outta here!

Renamon: *jumps in front of Robert, causing him to fall over backwards* Listen, as I said before, you've released not only me but really bad viruses as well!

Robert: *gets back up, still looking nervous* If these viruses are so bad, then you take care of them! I have more important business! *walks off very quickly*

Renamon: *shakes her head* Why is it so hard to make him understand? *sighs* Humans are truly odd creatures. *disappears into thin air*

*Later, Chris was smoking a cigarette at a street corner when Robert came walking up to him, still looking very nervous*

Robert: *to himself* Man, this is becoming a weird day…

Chris: What do you want, Rob?

Robert: Dude, you're not going to believe this, but there's something following me.

Chris: Are you sure it isn't a homeless guy?

Robert: No, dude. It's a…a…I don't know what it was, but it looked like a yellow fox standing on two legs! And it could talk!!

Chris: *stops smoking and stares curiously at Robert* Dude…are you okay? Did you hit your head or something on the way over here, or are you taking drugs now?

Robert: I'm not on drugs, I'm telling you the truth!! A talking fox…thing is stalking me!

Chris: Okay. One, get off whatever mind bending drugs you're on. And two, don't sell that necklace.

Robert: You're not listening! *sighs* I don't feel safe here. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm going to school! *walks off in a hurry*

Chris: Fine, go if you want…but I'm not comin', Thursday is my school day. *watches Robert walk off* Crazy fool. *puts his earphones back on and listens to Marilyn Manson*

*Later that day, lunch period was in session at school. Robert arrived with a tray and sandwich in his hands. Just then, Brad; a jock bully, walked up in front of him, showing off a rather smug smile. He was about three inches taller than Robert, had blonde hair, and wore a blue and white football jersey*

Brad: Well, well. Look who came to school. Robbie the Emo.

Robert: Go away Brad, I'm having a very weird day.

Brad: *takes a bite out of Robert's sandwich* See ya, loser! Ha ha ha ha!! *walks away*

Robert: *narrows his eyebrows* Screw you, Jerk off!

*Robert's friends, Kevin and Mike, were sitting at a table when Robert walked up and sat down with them. Kevin was a tall Emo boy wearing a dark brown jacket with a red shirt underneath that had a black star on it, dark brown hair, black eye makeup, and a small goatee on his chin. Mike was a few inches shorter with scraggly brown hair and wore a black hooded sweater with a small blue heart insignia on it*

Robert: Hi guys.

Kevin: *eyes widen* Holy crap! You're here today?

Robert: Yes. Unbelievable, huh? I'm having a weird day.

Mike: How so?

Robert: I'm being stalked.

*Just then, Joey walked up to their table with a smile on his face*

Joey: Hi guys.

Kevin: *eyes widen* WAAAHHH!!! *falls over onto the floor* What is that?!

Robert: Joey's not stalking me!

Kevin: *chuckles* Oh yeah… Sorry little dude… Just joking with ya. *sits back up onto his chair*

Joey: So, who's stalking who?

Mike: Someone's stalking Rob…it's big kid stuff.

Joey: *looks annoyed* I'm fourteen years old, I'm a big kid!

Robert: I'm being followed by a fox, okay?

Kevin: *raises an eyebrow* Seriously...that's it?

Robert: No, It stood up on it's hind legs and it could talk.

Joey: What?!

Kevin: *eyes Robert* Dude, you're smokin' something'…

Robert: No, I'm not!! She keeps saying I'm her tamer or something-destined. So I came to school, the only place where I'm safe!

Mike: Then take me to your house so I know your not on somethin'.

Robert: Uh… I'm…busy after school.

Mike: Whatever…

Robert: *sarcastically* Thanks for believing me… *eats his sandwich*

Kevin: We're not gonna believe you until we see it, dude.

Robert: *sighs* Whatever… *picks up his tray and walks over to a different table*

Mike: Boy, is he ever in a bad mood. He must be normal.

Joey: First our computer almost explodes, now a talking fox? What's next?

Kevin: The end of the world.

Joey: Ha ha. You sound just like Chris. It's no wonder you aren't a Goth like he is.

Kevin: I'm Emo, kid. There's a difference.

*Just then, the bell rang and everyone began to walk to their next classes*

Robert: See ya, dudes.

Kevin: Adios.

*A little while later, outside of school, Jermaine and his friends were playing basketball out on a court a few blocks away*

Jermaine: Five minutes left in the game, Jermaine has the ball on the rebound, he shoots it to Mark! Heads up, home boy!

*Jermaine tossed the ball, but unfortunately, Mark didn't catch it. However, Renamon did. Jermaine and the others then stopped playing and stared at the strange fox Digimon in awe*

Jermaine: Whoa!

Player 1: Dude, look at that!

Player 2: I am, and I don't believe it!

Renamon: *smiles and spins the ball on her finger* So…can I play?

Jermaine: *pause* Sure.

*Suddenly, Renamon began bouncing the ball around at lightning speed and scored through the hoop numerous times, quickly impressing Jermaine and the other players*

Players: Whoa!

Jermaine: Yo fox gal, gimme five!

Renamon: Excuse me?

Jermaine: Slap my hand, girl! *holds out his hand*

Renamon: Oh, okay! *gives him five*

Players: You're fly! You're awesome! You're off the wall!

Renamon: Am I really all that?

Jermaine: And a bag of chips, yo!

Renamon: *chuckles* Thanks for letting me play.

Jermaine: Sure. Anyway, the name's Jermaine, Jermaine Williams.

Renamon: A pleasure to meet you, Jermaine.

Jermaine: So, what brings you to the Big Apple?

Renamon: My destiny.

Jermaine: *raises an eyebrow* Excuse me?

Renamon: I'm here because of my partner, Robert.

Jermaine: Robert? The kid in the black coat, hat, and sunglasses?

Renamon: Yes, do you know him?

Jermaine: Sure, I know him. My friend, Joey, is his brother. Robert skips school all the time. He usually hangs out with that Goth kid, Chris.

Renamon: Goth?

Jermaine: Yeah, he wears all black with pale make-up, and a skull on his shirt.

Renamon: Thank you, I bid you farewell and I hope we meet again.

Jermaine: Keep it real, fox gal!!

*Meanwhile, back at the high school, the bell rang as the students exited the building and began to go home. Robert looked at his watch and walked off in a different direction. Eva, who was hiding behind a post, noticed this and quietly began following him*

Eva: *to herself* Where's he going?

*Later that afternoon, Chris was still listening to music on the street corner. Unbeknownst to him, Renamon was slowly and quietly approaching him*

Chris: *humming Faint by Linkin Park, when something taps his shoulder* WHAT!? *turns around and sees Renamon, looking at her skeptically* Hey, the cosplay convention isn't for another three days, and Halloween isn't for another three weeks.

Renamon: You must be Chris. I'm looking for Robert, have you seen him?

Chris: Don't know a Robert. Why, who's asking?

Renamon: *looks at him, annoyed* I am. Now tell me where he is.

Chris: He's around, not that I know who you're talking about mind you.

Renamon: Jermaine told me you hang out with him. Also, I saw you with him earlier. Now tell me where he is.

Chris: *looks at his watch* Well he's… Wait a minute, you're that stupid fox he was going on about earlier! Anyway, he should be where he's meeting this guy.

Renamon: Can you take me to him?

Chris: May as well, I've got nothin' else to do.

*Chris and Renamon then headed off to look for Robert*

*Meanwhile, Robert was meeting up with the dealer in the alleyway where he and Chris met him the day before*

Robert: You got my money?

Dealer: That depends, you got my merchandise?

Robert: *pulls out necklace* Here.

Dealer: Were you followed?

Robert: No, I'm all alone.

*Just then, Renamon materialized from behind Robert, alerting the dealer and scaring him half to death*

Dealer: *eyes widen in fear* Oh…my…god!!

Robert: What?

Renamon: Why have you been avoiding me Robert?

Robert: *turns to see Renamon* You again?!

Dealer: *looks scared as hell* Forget it pal, deal's off! *runs away in terror*

Robert: *turns to see the dealer running away* No wait, come back!! *turns to look at Renamon in anger* You!!

Renamon: What were you doing with that man?

Robert: I was getting cash for me and my girlfriend, and you blew it!!

Renamon: That man would probably have taken that necklace without giving you the money.

Chris: *walks up next to Robert* She's probably right, Rob.

Robert: *looks at Chris* Shut up!! *looks back at Renamon* If you wanna do something useful, go away and stop following me!!

Renamon: We are partners, Robert, why are you pushing me away?

Chris: WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!!! TIME OUT!!! What do you mean by...partners?

Renamon: Robert is my partner, I am his Digimon.

Chris: *raises an eyebrow* Di-gi-mon?

Robert: She's crazy!! That's what she is!! *faces Renamon* Listen you, I'm not your tamer, I'm not your keeper, I'm not your anything!!

Renamon: We are partners, whether you like it or not. You are a Digidestined.

Robert: NO I'M NOT!!! I'M A JUVENILE DELINQUENT WHO HANGS OUT WITH A FREAKY GOTH KID!!!

Chris: *looks annoyed* HEY!!!

Robert: So just do me a favor and STOP FOLLOWING ME!!! *punches Renamon in the face and runs off*

Renamon: *clutches her face where Robert hit her* Ugh! Damn human, why won't he listen!?

Chris: Are you alright?

Renamon: I will be fine, thank you. *disappears into thin air*

Chris: *eyes widen* Whoa! How the hell did she do that?

*Just then, Chris turned to see Eva running towards him, looking rather worried*

Chris: Huh? *turns to see Eva* Eva, what are you doing here?

Eva: I followed Robert here. Where is he? I'm afraid he'll do something terrible.

Chris: Well, don't worry, that didn't happen.

Eva: What?

Chris: I'll tell you on the way. I think he ran towards the docks.

Eva: Okay, let's go.

*Eva and Chris ran off after Robert, but then noticed the dealer being arrested by two policemen outside a patrol car*

Dealer: You gotta believe me!! He had a giant talking fox monster behind him!

Cop 1: Yeah, yeah, whatever!

Cop 2: Just get in the car, con-artist!

Chris: Ugh! I knew that guy was no good! *keeps running with Eva*

*Meanwhile, Robert was sitting at the docks, crying into his lap. Just then, Eva walked up from behind him and tapped him on the shoulder*

Eva: Rob, what's wrong?

Robert: *turns to see Eva* Eva? How did you find me?

Eva: Chris told me where you might be.

Robert: *annoyed* Chris!!

Chris: Yeah I'm here.

Robert: Leave me alone, I'm...I'm a mess!!

Eva: Chris told me everything, you don't need money to make me happy, I like you for who you are.

Chris: And they found that guy, we saw him get arrested. He's some sort of con-artist.

Robert: What?! *pulls out the necklace from his coat pocket* I almost sold my mom's necklace to a con-artist? *pause* I almost sold my mom's necklace… Oh god!

Eva: *hugs Robert* It's alright, Rob. It's alright.

Chris: No need to get upset about it. It happens to loads of people.

Robert: I'm so sorry, guys. I swear on my father's grave, I'll never steal anything ever again.

Chris: I'll hold you to it. *pulls out his wallet* So, how much do you guys need?

Robert: *sighs* Nothing. I'm canceling our date for tonight, I just wanna go home.

Eva: I'll walk with you, okay?

Robert: Okay. We'll date some other time.

Eva: *smiles* Alright.

Chris: Fine. *puts his wallet away*

Robert: See you tomorrow, buddy.

Chris: See ya. *walks away*

*As Robert and Eva left for home, a bolt of green lightning flashed in the sky, followed by a loud bird like screech*

*Meanwhile, in downtown Manhattan, a Policeman was using a tow truck to tow away a violet corvette with silver rims on its wheels that was parked in front of a no parking sign. Just then, a tall, bald headed, muscular African American pimp dressed in a maroon colored silk coat, hat, and large sunglasses walked out of a liquor store and saw his car being towed*

Pimp: *runs up to the cop* Hey, hey, hey man! What the hell are you doing?! That's my car!!

*The cop wrote up a ticket, not even looking at the pimp and pointed to a sign saying 'No Parking'*

Pimp: I was gonna move it when I got out!

Cop: Well, tough luck, pal. It's still getting towed.

Pimp: I don't believe this. I'm lookin' at a dead man! *pulls out a large magnum gun and points it at the cop* Yo, back off!!

Cop: Oh, come on. Put the gun down.

Pimp: No, it's too late for that! See, this here is a hand canon! I'm gonna blow your ass all the way back to Jersey!!

Cop: *pulls out his gun and points it at the pimp* I said put the gun down, sir.

*Just then, the pimp looked behind the cop and a look of terror appeared on his face*

Cop: That's right. You're under arrest.

Pimp: *looks up, frightened* Holy-- Look!!

Cop: I ain't falling for that old trick!

Pimp: Seriously, man! Turn around!!

*The cop turned around to see a giant green parrot flying towards them. It had clawed hands, large feet with talons, large wings on its back, long stalk like feathers on its brows, and a plating on its head and stomach. This was Parrotmon. The cop and the pimp then ducked down as it passed over them, causing debris to blow around. The pimp got up and ran away, but the cop got in his car and began using his radio*

Cop: *into the receiver* This is unit four, requesting back-up!! In fact, call in a god damn S.W.A.T team! We've got ourselves an intense situation down here!!

*Meanwhile, people looked up to see Parrotmon land in the street, crushing cars underneath its feet. Everyone then began to panic and run away, screaming in terror at the awesome bird Digimon*

Parrotmon: RAAAAWWWWKKKK!!!!

*Back at the docks, Robert and Eva were startled to hear a loud explosion coming from deep within the city*

Eva: *eyes widen* Whoa! What was that?

Robert: I don't know... But whatever it was, it was strong enough to shake up the whole city. Let's go check it out!

Eva: *grabs Robert's arm* What?! We're not gonna do that! What if it's a terrorist attack or something?! We could get killed!!

Robert: That didn't sound like a terrorist attack... We gotta at least see what's going on!

Eva: And just how are we going to get there, exactly?

*Robert looked around for a bicycle or something for quick travel, but saw only a two-wheeled motor scooter, which was close by a couple at an apartment complex*

Robert: *sighs* Well, I promised I wouldn't steal again, but what other choice do we have? Come on!

*Robert and Eva got on the scooter, with Eva holding onto Robert closely, as the they drove off as fast as possible. This caught the attention of the couple nearby*

Guy: HEY!!! THAT'S MY RIDE!!!

Robert: Sorry! It's an emergency!

*Back at the scene of destruction, three S.W.A.T trucks arrived as heavily armed troops rushed out of the vehicles, armed with assault rifles with armor piercing bullets and rocket launchers. They assembled out on the street, loading their guns and launchers*

S.W.A.T Cop 1: God, I feel like I'm in a Japanese monster movie!

S.W.A.T Cop 2: Keep your eye on what's going on, kid!

S.W.A.T Cop 3: Alright, boys! Take this titanic turkey down!!

*Parrotmon squawked as the S.W.A.T team started firing at him, firing every bullet and grenade at the large Digimon. But Parrotmon flapped his wings and blew them away, throwing them against their S.W.A.T cars*

*When Robert and Eva arrived on the scene, they saw hundreds of people running away and several cars either crushed or on fire*

Eva: *gets off the scooter* What's going on here?

Robert: *gets off the scooter* I think I know…and it's not pretty.

*Just then, they spotted Parrotmon walking past the Flat Iron Building. Parrotmon then turned his head, spotting Robert and Eva, and started making his way toward them*

Robert: Well…wasn't expecting that.

Eva: Oh my god!! Is that a giant parrot?!

Robert: Looks like it, and it's coming right at us! *sees a gun that a S.W.A.T cop dropped* Eva, get behind me! *picks up the gun and looks at Parrotmon* Hey, Big Bird! Count the shells!! *shoots at Parrotmon*

*Robert aimed the gun at Parrotmon and started shooting, but the bullets just bounced off the giant Digimon's armored head plate*

Eva: Robert, stop! You're not doing anything to it! We have to run!!

Robert: No, wait! *throws away the gun and picks up a rocket launcher* Cover your ears!! *fires the launcher at Parrotmon*

*The rocket exploded against Parrotmon's head plate. But as the smoke dissipated, Parrotmon just stood there, not injured at all*

Parrotmon: HA HA HA HA!!! My turn! *lowers his head as his brow feathers crackle with static electricity* Sonic Destroyer!! *emits am enormous bolt of electricity from the two feathers on his head at Robert and Eva*

*Just then, Renamon appeared from out of nowhere, grabbed Robert and Eva, and rushed them out of the way of the lightning bolt as it blew up a piece of the pavement*

Robert: Huh? What the--?! *sees Renamon*

Renamon: So, Robert, we meet again.

Robert: *sighs* You know, for once, I'm actually glad to see you.

Eva: *sees Renamon and gasps* Oh god, now what?!

Robert: *looks to Eva* It's okay, Eva, she's not gonna hurt us.

Eva: A-Are you so sure about that?

Robert: Well, to be honest, not really... But we don't exactly have any other choice, now do we? *points at Parrotmon* Friend of yours?

Renamon: No. That is Parrotmon. A dangerous and misguided Bird Digimon. His special attacks are Bird Claw, Sonic Destroyer, and Static Destroyer.

Robert: So, I'm guessing he's one of the viruses you mentioned earlier?

Renamon: *nods* Yes.

Robert: God, I hate it when I'm right. *looks at Eva* Eva, get out of here as fast as you can, it isn't safe.

Eva: But what about you?

Robert: I'm gonna try and help Renamon stop that thing.

Eva: What?! Are you insane?! You already tried shooting it with a gun and a rocket launcher, and those didn't even phase it!!

Robert: Just trust me, okay? Now go!!

*Without sayiung another word, Eva ran off into a far away alleyway and watched the action from there. Parrotmon then stomped towards Robert and Renamon. His brows crackling with static electricity as he stomped closer and closer towards them*

Robert: So, any ideas on how to stop him?

Renamon: For now, just this one! *jumps up and kicks Parrotmon* DIAMOND STORM!!! *summons a cloud of razor-sharp shards that she fires on Parrotmon*

*Parrotmon was hit by the raining shards of light and fell to the ground, but then quickly got up and smacked Renamon away with his clawed hand*

Renamon: AAAHHH!!! *lands on the ground and jumps back up at Parrotmon* DIAMOND STORM!!!

Robert: How can you beat him all by yourself?! He's four times your size!!

Renamon: Just trust me, okay?

Parrotmon: Sonic Destroyer!!

Renamon: *dodges the attack* POWER PAW!!! *engulfs her fists and feet in a raging inferno of blue flames after glowing in a ghostly blue light, then leaps into the air and kicks and slices at Parrotmon*

Parrotmon: *is hit by the attack* RAWK!!! *stumbles but regains his composure*

Robert: Whoa!!

Renamon: DIAMOND STO--

Parrotmon: BIRD CLAW!!! *slashes at Renamon with his talons*

Renamon: AAAHHH!!! *falls to the ground*

Parrotmon: HA HA HA!!! Not so tough now, are ya?

Robert: Renamon!! *runs to Renamon* Are you okay?

Renamon: Ugh… I'm fine. *gets up and begins to run towards Parrotmon*

Parrotmon: Static Destroyer!! *sends out a blue blast of energy from his mouth and hits a building, causing rubble to fall*

Robert: *runs toward Renamon and tackles her to the ground* LOOK OUT!!!

*The rubble made by the attack fell onto Robert and Renamon, burying them underneath several huge layers of concrete and steel*

Eva: *eyes widen* ROBERT, NO!!!

*Just then, a bright glowing light emerged from out of the cracks of the pile of rubble*

Eva: *gasps* Robert?

*The glowing soon faded away. Then suddenly, out from the rubble, emerged a giant yellow fox that was about the size of a small Indian elephant. It had yin tang tattoos on its legs and forehead, a large peppermint striped collar with bells on each end, nine huge tails with flames of tip, as well as flames on all four of its feet. This was Kyubimon; Renamon's champion form. She then stared at Parrotmon and snarled at him*

Robert: *looks to see Kyubimon* Huh? Renamon?

Kyubimon: *looks at Robert* I'm Kyubimon now.

Robert: I-I don't get it...

Kyubimon: I digivolved... Now I'm more powerful. But I still need your help.

Robert: *lowers his brows and nods* Alright… I'll try. *gets up onto Kyubimon's back* Okay… Let's get him!

Kyubimon: RAAAAHHHHRRRR!!!!

Parrotmon: RAAAAWWWWKKKK!!!!

Kyubimon: FOX TAIL INFERNO!!! *blue flames shoot from her tail tips and fly towards Parrotmon*

Parrotmon: *is hit by the attack* RAAAWWWKKK!!! *falls backwards onto some cars, instantly crushing them*

Robert: *pumps a fist into the air* Booyah!!

Kyubimon: Don't celebrate too soon, he's not defeated yet!!

*Parrotmon got up off the crushed cars and ran towards Robert and Kyubimon. But Kyubimon began to run toward Parrotmon and pounced onto him, biting his arm. Parrotmon then grabbed her neck and threw her off. But luckily, like a cat, she landed safely on her feet*

Parrotmon: Sonic Destroyer!!

*Luckily, Kyubimon was able to dodge the attack with ease. Just then, large blue flames engulfed her body, as well as Robert, who was riding on top of her*

Robert: *eyes widen* WHA!!! Help, help!! *tries to extinguish the flames* I'm on fire!! *examines himself and quickly calms down* Hey… I-It doesn't hurt!

Kyubimon: Don't worry, it's my special attack. Now, hold on tight, Robert…

Robert: *nods nervously* Okay…*holds onto Kyubimon's fur as tight as possible*

Kyubimon: *runs towards Parrotmon* DRAGON WHEEL!!!! *her flames take the form of a large blue dragon and engulfs Parrotmon*

Parrotmon: RAAAAWWWWKKKK!!!! *dissintigrates into a stream of data*

Kyubimon: *absorbs the data* Mmm…

Robert: *breathes heavily* That…was cool.

Kyubimon: Hmm... It was, wasn't it?

*Just then, a glowing object emerged from Kyubimon's forehead. Robert grabs it as it turned into a green gun like device*

Robert: *raises an eyebrow* Huh? What's this thing?

Kyubimon: It's a digivice.

Robert: *inspects the device* What does it do?

Kyubimon: It helps me digivolve, as do you. Without you, I can't digivolve.

Robert: Oh... Okay. *pause* Look, I-I'm sorry for yelling at you…and punching you earlier. *looks away in embarassment* I've become a real jerk over the years.

Kyubimon: *smiles* It's all right, I forgive you. Now, how about I give you a ride home, hmm?

Robert: *smiles* Sure, I don't mind.

Kyubimon: Alright, hold on tight then.

*Kyubimon then ran off into the night, with Robert clinging on to her back. Eva then walked out from her hiding spot, staring in awe at what had just happened*

*A few minutes later, Robert and Kyubimon had arrived in front of his house, making sure no one saw them*

Robert: *hops off Kyubimon's back and stares into her eyes* Thanks...for saving me back there.

Kyubimon: Think nothing of it.

Robert: No, really. No one has ever been this nice to me... Well, except Eva...and my dad.

Kyubimon: It's the least I could do, since you saved my life as well. So...are we even now?

Robert: Not just yet... You said there were more of those monsters out there, right? Well, if anyone's going to stop them from destroying the city, it might as well be me, seeing as I'm the one who activated the disc and all. Of course, I'll be needing some help... *pets Kyubimon's head* from my new partner.

Kyubimon: Oh, thank you. *de-digivolves back into Renamon*

Robert: So, do you have anywhere to sleep tonight?

Renamon: Don't worry about me, I'll be around.

Robert: Okay then. *extends his hand* Goodnight, Renamon.

Renamon: *shakes Robert's hand and chuckles* Goodnight, Robert. Sleep well. *jumps up into a nearby tree and disappears from sight*

Robert: Hmm… Neat trick. *opens the door and walks into his house* Mom? I'm back…

Mrs. Willis: *rushes over to see Robert* Robert! Are you alright? I just watching the news, they were saying something about...monsters attacking the city.

Robert: Yeah, I'm okay. *pause* Uh, mom... I wanna give you something. *pulls out the necklace from his coat pocket and gives it to her*

Mrs. Willis: *gasps* Robert…

Robert: I'm sorry… I stole it...and I tried to pawn it off for some money. But then…I realized I was making a really big mistake. *sighs* Mom, I know that ever since dad died, I've been giving you a really hard time... But I swear on his grave that I'll straighten up from now on. I'll start going to school more often and I'll never steal anything ever again...

Mrs. Willis: *sighs* Robert…I don't know if I can believe that.

*Robert then removed his sunglasses, revealing his true blue eyes. He then crushed the sunglasses in his hand and dropped the remaining pieces onto the floor*

Mrs. Willis: *looks surprised, but then looks reassured* Oh, Robert! *gives Robert a big hug, crying tears of joy*

*Meanwhile, over at Eva's house, Eva was asleep in her bed. Suddenly, something moved around in her blankets, causing her to wake up and lift them up, revealing a small pale animal with floppy ears, a golden around its neck and was holding a violet digivice in its mouth. This was Salamon*

Salamon: *drops the digivice and smiles at Eva* Hi.

Eva: *eyes widen and gasps* Oh my god…
