Jonathan Golde sat alone in his room. The lights were off and the only thing that illuminated the room was the light coming off the television screen he was playing video games on. The room was mostly silent besides the violent mashing of his fingers on the buttons to the video game controller he was holding.

Hey!

"Wha-What? Whose there?" Stammered Jonathan.

You seem so lonely… Always play games alone…

"Who are you! Show yourself!" Shouted Jonathan.

Do you got any two player games we could play?

"Please! Just stop it!" Pleaded Jonathan.

Suddenly the television screen started to shake as if it had suddenly turned into a liquid. And then a strange creature crawled out of the television screen right before it retained its forms. The creature itself was like a small dinosaur creature. But instead of being scaly it was covered in purple fur with white fur on its toes, belly, snout, and tip of its tail. It's tail was bushy, much like that of a squirrel. And on its forehead was triangular crimson gem.

"Who are you?" Shouted Jonathan "What are you?"

"I'm your partner, Dorumon!" Squeaked the small dinosaur "Look in your hands, you should have my indigo key!"

Jonathan's hands had been practically glued to the video game controller the entire time Dorumon had been talking to him through the television screen. He hadn't even noticed when the key had formed in his hand. He took his right hand off of the controller and saw that there was indeed an indigo colored key in the palm of his right hand.

"What is this? What are you doing here?" Shouted Jonathan in terror.

"Relax! Relax! I was sent to be your partner!" Explained Dorumon "I'm here to be your friend!"

"My friend…?" Asked Jonathan "But you're a monster!"

"That's not a very nice thing to say to your new friend."


As time passed on Jonathan quickly warmed up to Dorumon. He accepted the indigo key and the indigo Digivice. It wasn't too long before he discovered the existence of two other DigiDestined, Todd and Catherine. But he never really became friends with either of them. If anything, those two were only mere acquaintances to him. That was all anybody was to him. The only person he ever really considered to be a friend of his was Dorumon. Whenever he was lonely he would talk to his partner. Whenever he had a secret he would share it with his partner. He felt more connected to the furry dinosaur than any human he had ever met.

But then Dorumon started to miss his friends. So Jonathan asked if he could bring one or two of them over into the real world. To him, Digimon seemed a lot nicer and more than humans, so he was anxious to make friends with more of them if all of them were like Dorumon. So one day the two of them decided that they would use Jonathan's indigo key to open up the Digital Gate in the school's courtyard. The two hoped that it would allow for one or two of Dorumon's friends to squeeze through the portal. But that wasn't what happened at all.

When Jonathan used his indigo key to open up the Digital Gate an army of knight Digimon started to march on through the portal. He pulled out his Digivice and found out that they were Black PawnChessmon. Dorumon told him that those Digimon were not friends of his at all. Instead they were an evil group of Digimon that were trying to take over the indigo section of the Digital World.

He tried to close up the portal, but no matter what he did more and more of the PawnChessmon kept forcing their way through, keeping him from closing it. So he was left with no option but to try and fight the mob with Dorumon. However, the group of the PawnChessmon ganged up on Dorumon and were quickly able to defeat him. So Jonathan tried to take on the mob of Digimon all by himself. But just like Dorumon, he was no match for the army of evil Digimon.

That was when Todd came in with his partner, Bearmon. Bearmon was able to Digivolve for the first time since entering the Digital world into Grizzlymon. Since Grizzlymon was a Champion level Digimon and the PawnChessmon were all Rookie level Digimon, Grizzlymon was able to defeat all of the PawnChessmon with ease. And then all of the PawnChessmon were sent back through the portal.

Jonathan tried to thank Todd, but instead of accepting his thank Todd just screamed at Jonathan. He was furious that Jonathan let dozens of evil Digimon in through the Digital Gate. Jonathan tried to explain that he didn't mean to let those Digimon in through the gate. But Todd wouldn't let Jonathan speak for himself.

As punishment for letting the dozens of PawnChessmon come into the human world through the Digital Gate, Todd took Jonathan's indigo key away from him. That way he knew for sure Jonathan wouldn't be able to let any more Digimon in through the gate. Todd still allowed for Jonathan to keep his partner, Dorumon, and his Digivice, since Dorumon seemed to be relatively harmless. Todd thought it worked out fairly. And Jonathan didn't really mind all that much about the key being taken away from him. He still had Dorumon, and that was all that mattered.

Until one day Dorumon started to grow weak. He started to get tired really easily, and was always lethargic. Jonathan had no idea what was happening to his friend, but Dorumon did. Dorumon was becoming so weak because he had nothing to keep himself in the human world. He was slowly being dragged back into the Digital world, data piece by data piece. Soon he could no longer retain his Rookie form and devolved into Dorimon, a much smaller version of Dorumon that was ninety percent head and ten percent legs.

After two weeks had passed by the Digimon could no longer sustain his form in the human world. He would have to head back through the television screen into the Digital World. But he wanted to stay with Jonathan as long as possible. Then devolved into Dodomon, which looked more like the head of a cat then a dinosaur.

Jonathan started to grow extremely worried about his partner's health. But Dodomon assured him that he was fine, not wanting to upset Jonathan. And then one day, even in the Baby stage, Dodomon was no longer able to sustain its form. There was nothing below the Baby level for it to devolve to, so instead it was ripped into millions of tiny data fragments and sucked back up into the Digital World. There was no longer anything left of Dorumon but energy to be absorbed by any Digimon passing by.

Upset at the death of his friend, Jonathan became even more of a shut in than he was before. He stopped talking to other people. He rarely ever ate anything. And he stopped going to school. He felt like had nothing left to live for. But deep inside he harbored hatred for Todd, the indirect killer of his best and only friend.

After the death of Dorumon he had stuffed his indigo Divice into one of the drawers of the desk in his room. It was a horrific memento he never wanted to see again. But little did he know that sitting in that drawer the indigo casing slowly began to turn black.
