Chapter 1: Partners in Crime

Collin Strauss roamed the streets ever since he was six. His par both ned him when he was five, he escaped the next year. A week ago he celebrated his 13th birthday alone. It's not that he had no friends; it was just that his only friend was in a juvenile detention for stealing. Stealing was the only way the two of them could stay alive. To call the two of them best friends was an understatement, they were more like brothers. the other half of the whole was named Allons Kalvess. Collin was wondering the streets and then he heard rumbling in a trash can, he crept up on it and to his amazement he found a pudgy raccoon head with no body just the head and the tail. The raccoon had paint on the tips of its ears and the end of its tail and it had the mask that most raccoons had. Collin picked it up and it grumbled.

"Why are you picking me up." the raccoon yelled.

"Because you're unusual." Collin explained.

"Wow you aren't the least bit superficial!" the raccoon exclaimed with sarcasm.

"Just saying what happened to your body little fellah?" Collin asked.

"Well this head is my body bozo I am a digimon," the raccoon said "my name is Rakabumon."

"What's a digimon and that still doesn't explain why you are missing a torso."

"A digimon is a digital monster; I am a fresh level digimon the weakest level."

"And that's why you don't have a mid-section."

"Yes, yes, that is why I have no torso." Rakabumon said.

"Ok good now I know." Collin said.

"Can I go back to eating my trash now you incompetent." Rakabumon said angrily.

"Hey I am not incompetent it's just you don't see a digimon every day." Collin said defensively."

"Ok fine now let me eat my garbage!" Rakabumon yelled.

"Oh no you are going to get better food than you can get in any trash can." Collin said as he ran off.

They approached a quaint diner with many talks of discontent from Rakabumon. The diner had been visited many times by the dynamic duo. The name was The Knight's Order it was a well-known one. The people there were very nice and let the boys eat for free once every day. Collin and Allons were going to work there when they hit 14 so they can pay back their debt. After lunch Rakabumon was grateful to Collin they became better friends.

"Ok so now that we're friends I have a question." Rakabumon said.

"What is it Rakabumon?" Collin asked.

"Will you be my tamer?" Rakabumon asked with hope in his eye.

"What's a tamer?" Collin asked.

"Come on it's a person who helps a digimon to digivolve and become stronger."

"Well then sure I will." Collin replied"

"Collect your digivice!" A mysterious voice interjected.

Suddenly a green path lighted up in Collin's eyes. Collin grabbed Rakabumon and followed the path. The path led him to a technology store in the store a phone glistened green and he was pretty sure that it was his. Collin went in the shop and asked for it but the answer was no. So Collin and Rakabumon decided that the only way to get the digivice was to steal it. Collin had done this before with Allons because that was how they survived for four years. They stole and evaded the law until they found a different way to eat. Allons still stole to get better ways of living such as video games in the hideout. The two of them for years were partners in crime. Rakabumon went in and bit the owner used a skill to blind everyone with paint then Collin stole it then they ran as far as possible.
