On a quiet evening, a 12 year old boy is with his family. This is Takuya Kanbara. He has light skin with brown hair and eyes. He often wears a yellow t-shirt with a strange design on it underneath a red jacket, dark brown cargo shorts and yellow and red sneakers. He also wears light brown gloves and a light brown hat which his signature goggles rest on top of.

This day happened to be his brother Takato's eleventh birthday. Although this day didn't seem any different than the others, at least not for Takuya. His parents always seemed to favor Takato. They always did whatever he wanted, and bought food that he likes, even if Takuya doesn't. This has been going on as long as Takuya could remember. As his parents watched Takato open his birthday gifts, Takuya excused himself to go to his room.

"I swear it really seems they love Takato more than me. I mean I only got 4 gifts from them when I turned 11. I counted at least 10 out there for him. Why is he treated so special?"

Feeling a combination of anger and sadness, Takuya slowly walked over to his bed and plops down onto it, stuffing his face into his pillow.

"Sometimes I wish I was an only child. Then they would have to pay attention to me."

Something on his desk began glowing and catches his attention. He got up to investigate what it is, when he realizes it is just the screen of his cell phone. Thinking it must be one of his friends saying hello, he grabs it and looks at the screen. But instead of seeing a message from one of his pals, it was from a number he didn't recognize.

"I see that you're upset. Is there anything I can do to help?"

Having no idea what to think of this mysterious message, or how in the world this person knew he was upset, he decided to respond.

"Who is this? How do you know that I'm upset?"

"Takuya, I know a lot about you. I wish I could tell you who I am through text. But it's very risky."

"That didn't answer my question. How do you know I'm upset? Are you watching me?"

"Oh Takuya, there is so much I wish I could explain. It was a mistake to start this conversation off how I did. I just felt I should try to help, seeing you so upset and angry. I'm sorry. But as for your question...I cannot answer that. No I am not watching you, at least I'm not looking into your window. But I can see you. I can feel what you feel."

"Ok, this is starting to freak me out."

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have even talked to you yet. But if you want answers, you can meet me at the large fountain in the park. Just make sure to bring your phone."

"I don't think my Mom would let me go out and meet some random stranger."

Right after typing this, ironically, Takuya heard his Mother calling for him. He poked his head out his door and calls back to her.

"Takuya! Can you run to the store and get some candles for your brothers cake? I forgot to get some."

What are the odds, a stranger asks to meet him at the exact moment his mother asks him to go run an errand. Is this just a coincidence? Takuyas phone rang again, the mysterious person is trying to reach him once more.

"So, what's it going to be?"

Takuya knows that meeting a stranger can be dangerous, his Mother reminds him how strangers can be dangerous all the time, but the curiosity of who exactly this is behind this is driving Takuya crazy. Without thinking about it anymore he replied.

"I'll be there..."

10 Minutes later, Takuya arrived at the park. As he walks toward the fountain, he scans the area for the person he is supposed to be meeting. But the park was completely deserted. Was this a setup? Did someone trick him into coming here as a prank?

"Hello! Is anyone there?"

He looked around to see if anyone appears to answer him. But instead of a person, his phone beeped as if responding to him. He pulls it out of his pocket to read yet another message.

"I forgot to mention, you can't see me, At least not yet. I needed to make sure it is safe to appear."

"What do you mean? Safe to appear?"

"I'm…I'm not a human Takuya."

This was definitely the weirdest part of the whole conversation, and it has made Takuya believe this was surely a prank.

"Haha, good one. Who is this really?"

"I'm about to show you."

"What is that supposed to mean?"

Before Takuya could give too much thought to it, his phone began to glow even brighter. The light grew so bright that Takuya had to cover his eyes. When he opened his eyes again he saw something he couldn't believe. The light from his phone was actually leaving the phone! Pulling out of the screen and turning into a small ball of light. The light started to drift away from his phone which went black. After it went about 5 feet away from Takuya, it started to transform. Eventually the light began to look like the outline of a tall human. Close to 10 feet. Eventually the light starts to fade and once Takuya is able to see clearly again, he can't believe what is in front of him.

In the area once occupied by the small ball of light, is a tall man outfitted in red armor looking clothing with long yellowish blond hair and two fangs sticking out of his top lip. Covering his face is a mask that resembles his odd clothing. The parts that surprised Takuya the most is that he could see through this man.

"Hello Takuya. It's nice to finally meet."

But Takuya was frozen with fear. Who is this giant man? How did he just appear?

"I sure hope I haven't scared you. I know this is surprising, but if you allow me to explain, everything should become clear in a few minutes. Please, sit down."

The tall man sat down on the fountain and patted the cement next to him.

"My name is Agunimon. And like I said, I am not like you. I am not a human. I am a Digimon."

Takuya, who was still standing in the same spot, seemed to have gotten up the courage to finally say something to this man.

"A... A What?"

"Digimon. It means Digital Monster. The reason why you can see through me is because I don't have a physical form anymore."

"But why did you come out of my phone?"

"Well, a few months ago, my world, the digital world, was in a terrible war. I, along with 9 other Digimon, did our best to protect the innocent Digimon from being hurt by the evil Devimon, who had been trying to take over and become ruler. At last, we 10 warriors gave up what was left of our energy to stop Devimon, and destroy him. But doing so, we lost out physical forms. So we were sent off to find new partners that we can share a form with. I and 5 other Digimon made it to the human world, although we don't know how, but we don't know where the other 4 are."

"But why were you in my phone?"

"Even though we made it to the human world, we are still digital. So we have had to travel through cell phones. Since we can't return to the Digital World like this, we decided it is best to find a human to be our partner. I had come across your cell phone about a month ago, and something about you made me stay. While I have been watching you, I have been learning more about you. And then, for reasons I can't explain, I began to feel a connection to you. I began to feel anger when you did. I was happy when you were. And tonight when I saw you were sad, I was as well. And I said something."

"So, how exactly am I supposed to help you?"

"I don't know the answer to that. I wish I could ask my friends, and see if they have found anything out yet, but shortly after we arrived here, most of us split up to look. I assume they have befriended humans by now, so I'm not sure how to find them. But like I mentioned earlier, we are supposed to find partners. Although to be honest, we aren't actually 100% sure that is what we are supposed to do."

"But then why are you so motivated to do this?"

"It's an ancient legend from our World, 'The legend of the Digidestined'. It says that in the early stages of my world, there were 3 Warriors who lost their physical bodies after a battle. And they had to find other Digimon to become their partners so they can become whole again. But we obviously can't do that, so I need you."

"But doesn't that mean you want to live inside me? How is that even possible? You're 10 feet tall."

"Well technically yes. But I'm not real Takuya. This is just what my physical form looks like. I am nothing more than a spirit in reality."

"This is all so confusing. I mean just an hour ago I was living a perfectly normal life. Now I'm standing here, talking to man who doesn't actually exist, that wants to live inside me."

"I know this is hard for you, trust me, it's just as weird for me. But I fear that we are here for a reason, and need your help to find out why."

"I still don't understand this at all. But Ok. I'll be your partner, or, I mean you can live in me? Like I said, I'm really confused by this."

"I know. But you made the right decision. Thank You."

Agunimon suddenly began to glow. After a few seconds, he turned back into the ball of light. Takuya stares at it, wondering what is going to happen. But he quickly gets his answer as the light suddenly shoots right at him. Before he could react, the ball hits his body then disappears, as if it went inside of him.

"Wait, so are you inside me now? I don't feel any different."

"I didn't expect you to right away. "

Right in front of Takuya, Agunimon appeared once again, still semi-transparent.

"I can feel it, we have become one. Our spirits have become intertwined. I don't know what this means. But I hope you can feel it as well. Look deep down. Do you feel my presence in your mind?"

Takuya closed his eyes and concentrated. Although all of this confused him very much, he actually started to feel it. In something that he can't even begin to explain, the presence of Agunimon hit him.

"I feel it! I mean you. I can feel your spirit. But now what? I mean do you just sit inside me forever?"

"I should tell you more about that old legend. It says that when the two souls become one in the body, they can switch places. So, if I understand this correctly, we can switch physical forms, from your human form to my Digimon form. Sadly I have no idea how this is supposed to happen."

"It seems painful to suddenly become someone else. I'm not sure that I like this very much. But maybe we should talk about this later, because if I don't get home soon my Mom will get worried."

Agunimon disappeared once again, but Takuya could still feel his presence, and he took off towards home. But as soon as he started up the steps to his front door, he came to a stop.

"I completely forgot why I came out here in the first place, the candles! If I come home without them, I will get questioned about where I have been."

So Takuya turned around and began off to the convenient store down the road. A few minutes later he walked out of the doors of the store holding a small paper bag filled with a box of birthday candles.

"So, when do you think we will find out why you are here?"

Agunimon once again appeared next to him.

"I don't know. But it worries me. I'm afraid that the human world might be in trouble."

"You mean a Digimon migh…"

"Hey Takuya, stop right there!"

Both Takuya and Agunimon stop and look behind them. Approaching them were rather large teenagers. The one leading the pack towards the two was the one who called out to Takuya. He is at least a foot taller than Takuya and has greasy black hair.

"That's Lars, and his pack of bullies. They go to my school. They like to pick on us younger kids."

"Who are you talking to, freak?"

Agunimon and Takuya glanced at each other.

"I guess since I am just a spirit inside of you, they can't see me."

"Well, who are you talking to? Your imaginary friend?"

Takuya didn't answer, should he tell them he is talking to a Digimon that he is sharing a body with?

"It doesn't matter, your just some stupid kid anyways. Now, what's in that bag?"

Lars and his gang started moving closer to Takuya, who backed up cautiously.

"It's nothing important. Just some birthday candles"

"Ah, how sweet, you got me some birthday candles."

Lars suddenly lunged forward and shoved Takuya to the ground then grabbed the bag out of his hand. As he hit the ground, his phone tumbled out of his pocket onto the cement in front of him. When it stopped moving, it began glowing. Not just the screen, but the entire phone. One of Lars cronies poked him and pointed out the phone. He tried to reach down and grab it but Takuya threw himself on top of it first.

"Give it here you little brat!"

"Never!"

Takuya quickly stood up and looked at his glowing phone. But his phone isn't in his hands anymore. Instead there is a red and black shaped object with three buttons and a screen at the top.

"What, what happened to my phone?"

"Use it Takuya."

Takuya looked over his shoulder and sees Agunimon fading away. But he could still hear his thoughts.

"Neither of us can explain this, but you know how to use this device. Now do it!"

Agunimon was right, Takuya did know how to use this device, despite never seeing it before.

"Lars, you're going to regret doing this to me. "

"Oh yeah, who's going to punish me? You?"

Lars and his gang started laughing up a storm. But Takuya wasn't laughing. He quickly raised the device above his head and pressed the largest button, which makes the symbol on his odd shirt appear on the screen.

"Now, Spirit Evolution!"

Takuya let go of the button and the device in return lets out a large light. The gang of thugs stopped laughing and covered their eyes. The light quickly left, and in place of short Takuya, was the tall Digimon Warrior Agunimon. Only he isn't transparent this time. Agunimon raises his arms to the sky and shouts his name. Then fire shoots out of the cuffs on his wrist.

"I'll be the one to punish you…"

Lars looked up at Agunimon, and suddenly had a change of expression. He turned around and takes off, leaving his cronies who are quick to follow his lead.

"Not so fast."

Agunimon broke out in a sprint and chased after Lars. He got in front of him in no time and grabs him.

"I believe this bag belongs to Takuya. And I better not see you bullying him or anyone else anymore."

Agunimon grabbed the bag out of Lars hand and lets him go. He resumes running away from the Digimon.

"That was amazing. I can't believe what just happened!"

Agunimon looks to his side where Takuya had appeared except this time he is the one who is transparent.

"I guess you were right about us changing places. That didn't even hurt. It does feel odd though, just being a spirit. It's like being in the back seat of a car, you are there but you don't have any control."

"Now you know how I feel. But there are many more questions that need to be answered."

Little did they know those questions would be answered very soon…
