Chapter Two
Erric
***8 months ago***(again from the current point in the story now 'Never Alone')
~DIGIMON, DIGITAL MONSTERS, DIGIMON ARE THE CHAMPIONS! CHANGE INTO DIGITAL CHAMPIONS CHANGE TO DEFEND THE WORLD!~ came the fully blasted volume of a navy haired emerald green eyed 16 year old boy's stereo system.
All the while the intense banging on his bed room door became more and more intense. "SHO! TURN DOWN THAT MUSIC!" came the shouts of the boys farther.
Groaning Sho 'Erric' Asyop hit the volume button "Alright! Alright! Its down!" sighing inwardly to himself Erric thought 'Aww nut bunnies! Just as it was getting go! Oh well, might as well finish my work.' Erric's 'work' was the latest poster placing of all his favorite things about the room. A few were of different kick boxing moves, but the main attraction were the vast number of Digimon posters and articles of the Digimon in news paper clippings. About a night stand was, quite possibly, the hugest collection of the Digimon Card Game cards.
Erric's mother shouted up the hallway "Erric! Where's my pocketbook?!"
"Why would I know?" Erric replied peeking his head out the door.
"Because YOU took it to get lunch money from it...DID YOU LOSE IT ON ME AGAIN?!?"
"....uh oh!"
"SHO ERRIC ASYOP! GET HERE RIGHT NOW!" Ms. Asyop shouted, not sounding to happy.
***Later at the gym***
At the local gym that Erric had his Kick Boxing lessons, Erric himself was banging on the locker room door "HEY! OPEN UP!"
From the opposite side of the door an older male voice said "Erric you know the rules, if your late then you cant attend the lesson because it interrupts the others. You have to be here on time not twenty minutes late, you need to more responsible." then from were Erric stood you could here footsteps walking away from the door.
Erric, looking aggravated, threw his arms in the air "Grrr! I hate it when people use that damn word!" sighing, Erric turned and walked down the darkening street. 'Why is it I cant get a break from that word, first my mom and dad now this! Not only that, but now my card readers busted! Oh well....might as well get myself some new cards on the way home.' Erric thought to himself. He has had a constant problem when it comes to the whole responsibility thing, he usually was too busy thinking all about Digimon especially since the incident with the red goo. But now a days he was wondering if Digimon even existed or if anyone else still liked the card game. But he knew there had to be a few, like the Tamers who fought with their Digimon. From what he heard, the one he defiantly thought would still like them was the one who actually created his own Digimon. Erric wondered how the Tamer created his partner, half wishing that he could do it himself 'Man if I had my own Digimon, Id show the world that Im more then an irresponsible teenager! Id have the best partner and we would kick butt!' Erric thought as he purchased three boosters of the latest Digimon cards 'Man I wish I didn't knock over my table, cause then I could really see if my new cards rock.' pocketing his boosters, Erric walked straight home. But what he didn't know was that tailing him not to faraway, was creature that was making a sort of giggling noise.
***9:30pm that night***
Erric was tossing and turning in his bed, trying everything to get himself to sleep '4,309 sheep, 4,310 sheep.....' "GRR I CANT SLEEP!" he shouted somewhat silently to himself as he sat up, "Great now what?...Oh ya! Forgot about the new cards!" he slapped himself on the forehead remembering that he still hadn't opened a single one of them up. Reaching over to his hamper next to his night stand, Erric pulled out the three packs from his pants pocket and flopped them on his night stand.
Making as much room as possible as he swept the other cards to one side of the desk, Erric ripped open all three packs at once and pulled out one card at a time from the new pile "Hmm, some pretty good ones.." he said eyeing a BlackWereGarurumon card. Suddenly, a spark of light caught his attention from his new cards "Is this lamp busted?" he wondered to himself looking at his lamp, when he glanced down at his desk. Staying in its usual spot was Erric's Card Reader, but despite what he thought earlier, it was working. Erric hastily snatched it from his desk and looked at it carefully, yep it was working because its screen was on ready to read any card swiped through it "What the?...!" Erric quickly turned around looking shocked, he had just heard something, like a person was chuckling behind his back "Alright whose there?!" looking around all he saw was the gentle rising and falling of his windows curtain as the wind blew it. Keeping his guard up, Erric returned to looking at his Card Reader on his bed, when from the corner of his eye he saw a very unusual site.
It was like any Digi-modify card in the basic aspect, classic card shape with the bar code but what made it different was that it was a shimmering blue and its only illustration and lettering was a yellow D with a kind of deep blue dino Digimon popping out of it. Picking it up, Erric gave it a turn in his hand, the D and dino would disappear when turned like it was a holographic picture. Then he turned his attention to his Card Reader and back to the card, shrugging he said aloud "Heh, why not?" bringing the card's bar code into the slot of the Reader, Erric quickly swiped the card though, but just as he did the entire Reader was encased in electricity, forcing Erric to drop it "YO!" Looking at the ground where he dropped his Reader, Erric saw what was impossible, the Reader changed shape and color to an orange bodied and brown screened D-arc "....what the?!"
***The next day at Erric's school during lunch***
Sitting at the his usual thinking spot under a tree, Erric was turning his D-arc about in his hand giving it a good look over trying to figure out what to do. 'If this is what I think it is, then where's my partner?'
"Yo Sho!" came a female voice from behind Erric.
Quickly putting the D-arc in his lucky vests pocket, Erric looked over to see his old childhood friend. She was a tall and tomboyish type of girl with short pink hear that barely reached her shoulders, she was warring jeans and a black t-shirt with a arrow head shape on it. She was his friend since they were in Day Care together, and had their ways of talking to each other without others knowing "Oh hey Sarina, what's up?"
The pinked haired Sarina pointed over to the spot next to Erric, with a slit look in her eyes that said 'I want to talk so don't say I cant sit here.'
Erric nodded "Ok what is it?"
Sarina, sitting next to him, replied "Ok Erric, I know that when you sit here with that look in your eyes, your thinking big time. So what's on your blue headed mind?"
Erric sighed, knowing it would be pointless to argue with her that there's nothing wrong, answered "Well something......weird happend last night and, well Im trying to figure out were the missing part of the picture is."
"Well what was it?"
Erric looked around making sure no one would overhear him, picked up his hand and pointed his pinky at her and gave her a heard look which she understood meant 'Keep this a secret'
Sarina gave him a smirk, which he knew was her answer 'Hey Im your best friend why should I not keep this a secret?' and wrapped her pinky around his.
"Ok last night I couldn't sleep.."
"You missed your kick boxing lessons again I guess." Sarina said knowing well that Erric can be a heavy anti-sleeper without a good workout.
"..ya, well anyway, I remembered that I bought new cards but didn't open them. So I opened them and I saw that my Reader was working.."
"Your night stand falls on it and its working again?" was Sarina's shocked reply.
"I know its weird, well anyway I heard someone behind me but when I turned around to see who, no one was there. I went back to my cards and this weird blue one's there..."
"Blue card? What was so weird about it?"
Erric glanced around to double check that no one was around, and pulled out the orange and brown D-arc showing it to Sarina.
"...so?"
"This is my Card Reader after I swiped the blue card through it."
Sarina went silent for a second, looking Erric in the eye. Then her eyes seem to pop out "Wow! But..ah..how's.....and...where's that card?"
"That's the next weirdest thing, it disappeared after this thing changed on me."
"Erric, does this mean?"
"As far as I know, no Im not a Tamer. Just a kid with a Digivice." Erric said lowering his head a bit looking disappointed.
Sarina looked thoughtful for a second, then gave her grin that told Erric 'I have an idea'
Erric looked at her with raised eyebrows silently replying 'Should I be worried? Because that's not a good thing'
"Look, do you have your cards?"
"Of course, why?"
"If this thing works then lets get your partner!"
Erric looked at her for a second, then gave his own wicked that said to her 'I get it, and I LIKE!' reaching to his lower vest pocket, Erric drew out several cards "But ya know, I would have like my own Digimon. Like that one the Tamer who became the Knight Digimon had."
"...then lets see what would happen if we swipe different cards at once."
"What?"
Sarina gave him a waving finger that meant 'Think about it' "If you use building blocks to make stuff, what would happen if you combine different blocks?"
Erric thought about that for a second "Oh! You get something completely different and new! But what cards do we use?"
"Hey, if it works its your partner. Pick out some of your favorites." Sarina replied with a sad look on her face. Erric knew that look meant 'Wish I could have one'
Erric gave her a staring glare telling her 'Your helping me!' but in a friendly way to make her fell better, before he started to look though his cards picking out one every so often.
"Thanks.."
After a minute, Erric had the cards he wanted. He picked out a few favorites Salamon, Imperialdramon Fighter mode and Dragon mode and Garurmon. Then he picked Hagurumon and Raidramon for some of their abilities. Sarina looked around making sure no one saw the big moment, Erric's first Digi-modify and the creation of his partner "All clear, lets see your moves!"
Erric looked thoughtful for a moment considering his moves "Ok here goes nothing, wish me luck." his arms hung at his sides with the six cards in his left hand and the D-arc in his right, as he seemed to focused for a moment with his eyes shut 'Please Kami, please let this work!' Erric's eyes shot open as he shot out his right arm out in front of him while his left in front of his face, then he reversed the order sliding the cards though the D-arc in the proses "DIGI-MODIFY!.....DIGIMON PARTNER, CREATE!" the D-arc glowed and small sparks surrounded it for a second....but nothing seemed to happen. "AWW NUT BUNNIES! WORK!"
"Erric its ok, we could try some other Digimon card one that you'll like" Sarina said trying to comfort her friend.
"NO!"
Sarina took a step back, Erric never yelled at her before.
"GRR I WONT GIVE UP JUST CAUSE THIS BAKA THING WONT DO ITS JOB! NO WAY IS ONE OF YOUR PLANS NOT GOING TO WORK!" Erric clenched the cards and D-arc in his hand and repeated his Digi-Modify moves "DIGI-MODIFY! DIGIMON PARTNER, CREATE!" again, the D-arc sparked but other then that nothing happend.
"Erric-chan.."
"IM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP! WORK! DIGI-MODIFY! DIGIMON PARTNER, CREATE!" for a third time the D-arc sparked and then nothing.
Sarina walked over to Erric placing her hand on his shoulder "Erric-chan, I know you really want this to happen but.."
"Don't say it..."
"...sorry, but we better get going before people see us. We'll figure something.."
"No!" Erric turned around and held her hand "Come on! I need you to put every bit of your own heart in this! I need your help!"
Sarina looked at him for a second, then gave her wicked grin "LETS MAKE THAT DIGIMON!"
"RIGHT!" Erric took his pose again and swiped the cards again 'THIS WILL WORK!' he shouted in his mind "DIGI-"
Sarina clenched her fists 'Come on!' but turned her attention elsewhere after she heard some sort of giggling 'What was? Never mind!' "COME ON ERRIC-CHAN!"
Erric continued to swipe the next cards through the D-arc "MODIFY!" the D-arc was already begging to spark this time "DIGIMON PARTNER....."
"COME ON!"
"CREATE!!!" Erric shouted and this time something happend. Not only had the sparks intensify but now they surrounded Erric's entire body "GRRRAAAA!!" then all around himself and Sarina, a fog began to grow covering the two.
"ERRIC-CHAN!" Sarina shouted as she began to rush next to him, but he put up his hand telling her to stay away 'If he gets hurt it'll be my fault!'
"RAAAGGG!" Erric shouted again, but not in complete pain. It was a new feeling that he never knew of, sort of like each cell in his body was being searched and charged with rough energy. Finally the D-arc shot a beam of light to the center of the fog and the electricity disappeared, leaving Erric kneeling down on his knees.
"Erric-chan! Are you ok?!"
Erric didn't answer in fact he felt like he couldn't, he thought his mind was playing tricks on him, he thought and felt like he was in two places at the same moment.
"Erric....Erric-chan?"
Finally able to steady himself, Erric stood up "Ya, Im ok just shook up." but suddenly a sort of clanking noise was made and both Erric and Sarina turned to the center of the fog where the noise came from.
"Is...something there?" Sarina asked taking a steep back incase they needed to run, she turned to Erric and became worried. He had a very unusual look in his eyes, almost reminded her of seeing a cat look at a mouse, it scared her "Erric-chan?"
"Not thing" he said with a smirk but kept that beast like stare of his. The clanking started again, making a pattern that matched something on four legs coming closer.
"Erric-chan? What's wrong with your eyes?"
"I don't know, but I do know this." he replied as the smirk widened.
"What?"
"...It worked." suddenly the thing making the noise appeared.
It was a large cat like creature, but it was robotic in form it was about three feet tall and perhaps 7 feet tall from head to tail, two metallic fins poking out from its back right at the shoulder blades, its head was helmet in design except for the ears and its lower jaw, the slit were its eyes were glowing yellow dots against a red back ground. It was slowly stalking up to Erric eyeing him with those yellow optics of his. This was the Digimon he created.
Sarina took Erric's hand "Come on, lets get out of here!" she pulled but found him pulling back "Erric-chan!" she saw him give her a look that for once she couldn't read.
Erric held onto Sarina's hand making sure she didn't run. He watched as the metallic cat-like Digimon came closer, the feeling of being in two places at once vanished and was replaced by the feeling that there was something part of him...it felt right that way.
The Metal cat Digimon was now standing on all fours in front of its creator and his best friend, it tilted its head looking Erric in the eyes.
Erric nodded, it was as if it were Sarina was giving a silent message but it was from this new Digimon.
"Erric-chan? What's going on?" Sarina asked.
"He needs a name....partner, your name is Metramon. This is Sarina my best friend."
The Digimon looked up at Sarina "Pleasure to meet you Sarina" it said in a robotic but friendly voice
Sarina was on the brink of shouting for joy that it had worked, but suddenly both Erric and Metramon seemed to pass out "ERRIC-CHAN! METRAMON!"
***Soon afterwards back at Erric's house***
Erric was watching Metramon playing like a kitten with a piece of string from the blinds while Sarina was grabbing some food from the kitchen. Erric was probably enjoying this as much as Metramon, he had his own Digimon not only that but seemed like he could actually feel things off of Metramon at the same time. It made it hard to figure out which one of them were hungry. Sarina walked in with a bunch of packs of snack food "Think he'll even eat this stuff Erric-chan?"
"One way to find out, Meta come here for a second."
Metramon instantly stopped playing with the string and slightly leapt over to his Tamer "Yes Erric?" his robotic voice answered, but something caught his attention, his robotic noise was sniffing up the sent of the junk food "What is this?" he asked eyeing a box of cookies.
"Those are cookies, its food you eat it." he said picking up a cookie and demonstrating.
Metramon lift its paw to pick up a cookie to follow Erric's lead, but quickly found out cat style paws aren't good for picking things up especially with only two claws on his front paws "I seem to be ill adapted in this mode."
Sarina gave a confused look "Say that again?"
"I seem to be ill adapted in this mode."
"No I meant what's that mean?"
"May I change mode to eat properly?"
Erric, who was now munching on a sour power string, raised an eye brow "Do you mean Digivolve?"
"No. I wish to mode change."
Erric suddenly gaged on the sour treat of his "*Cough* MODE CHANGE!?!"
"Affirmative."
Erric and Sarina were dumb struck, Sarina also raising an eye brow asked what was on their minds "What level are you?"
"Rookie"
"And you mode change?" came Erric's shocked reply. "Never mind just show me."
"Acknowledged. METRAMON MODE CHANGE TO!" suddenly Metramon shot upstanding on his hind legs, his head seemed to shift into place as his wrists turned and his front paws claws lengthen somewhat, his chest plate bore an X mark that looks like it was slashed on there "FIGHTER MODE!"
Erric went wide eyed "WOW! A ROOKIE THAT CAN MODE CHANGE?! SWEET!"
"May I begin the eating proses?"
"Ya sure." Erric shrugged
Metramon's new claws were able to grasp one of the cookies and he placed it in his mouth, suddenly he stopped moving.
"META?!?"
Without warning, Metramon shouted "METRAMON MODE CHANGE TO BEAST MODE!" and reverted to his original state and started scarfing down all the food on the plate.
"HEY! STOP!"
***************
From then on, Erric started acting a bit more responsible. However his dear partner had a way of sneaking about and run about wanting to learn new things about his surroundings, which ended up with Erric and Metramon running from the public in a not so pleasant scene and every now and then a new battle with digimon. Unfortunately Metramon was always confused by Erric's victory phase "Ya know you love me baby!" that always ended up with Metramon looking for an actual infant.

***8 months ago***(again from the current point in the story now 'Never Alone')
~DIGIMON, DIGITAL MONSTERS, DIGIMON ARE THE CHAMPIONS! CHANGE INTO DIGITAL CHAMPIONS CHANGE TO DEFEND THE WORLD!~ came the fully blasted volume of a navy haired emerald green eyed 16 year old boy's stereo system.

"Erric its ok, we could try some other Digimon card one that you'll like" Sarina said trying to comfort her friend.
"NO!"
Sarina took a step back, Erric never yelled at her before.
"GRR I WONT GIVE UP JUST CAUSE THIS BAKA THING WONT DO ITS JOB! NO WAY IS ONE OF YOUR PLANS NOT GOING TO WORK!" Erric clenched the cards and D-arc in his hand and repeated his Digi-Modify moves "DIGI-MODIFY! DIGIMON PARTNER, CREATE!" again, the D-arc sparked but other then that nothing happend.
"Erric-chan.."
"IM NOT GOING TO GIVE UP! WORK! DIGI-MODIFY! DIGIMON PARTNER, CREATE!" for a third time the D-arc sparked and then nothing.
Sarina walked over to Erric placing her hand on his shoulder "Erric-chan, I know you really want this to happen but.."
"Don't say it..."
"...sorry, but we better get going before people see us. We'll figure something.."
"No!" Erric turned around and held her hand "Come on! I need you to put every bit of your own heart in this! I need your help!"
Sarina looked at him for a second, then gave her wicked grin "LETS MAKE THAT DIGIMON!"
"RIGHT!" Erric took his pose again and swiped the cards again 'THIS WILL WORK!' he shouted in his mind "DIGI-"
Sarina clenched her fists 'Come on!' but turned her attention elsewhere after she heard some sort of giggling 'What was? Never mind!' "COME ON ERRIC-CHAN!"
Erric continued to swipe the next cards through the D-arc "MODIFY!" the D-arc was already begging to spark this time "DIGIMON PARTNER....."
"COME ON!"
"CREATE!!!" Erric shouted and this time something happend. Not only had the sparks intensify but now they surrounded Erric's entire body "GRRRAAAA!!" then all around himself and Sarina, a fog began to grow covering the two.
"ERRIC-CHAN!" Sarina shouted as she began to rush next to him, but he put up his hand telling her to stay away 'If he gets hurt it'll be my fault!'
"RAAAGGG!" Erric shouted again, but not in complete pain. It was a new feeling that he never knew of, sort of like each cell in his body was being searched and charged with rough energy. Finally the D-arc shot a beam of light to the center of the fog and the electricity disappeared, leaving Erric kneeling down on his knees.
"Erric-chan! Are you ok?!"
Erric didn't answer in fact he felt like he couldn't, he thought his mind was playing tricks on him, he thought and felt like he was in two places at the same moment.
"Erric....Erric-chan?"
Finally able to steady himself, Erric stood up "Ya, Im ok just shook up." but suddenly a sort of clanking noise was made and both Erric and Sarina turned to the center of the fog where the noise came from.
"Is...something there?" Sarina asked taking a steep back incase they needed to run, she turned to Erric and became worried. He had a very unusual look in his eyes, almost reminded her of seeing a cat look at a mouse, it scared her "Erric-chan?"
"Not thing" he said with a smirk but kept that beast like stare of his. The clanking started again, making a pattern that matched something on four legs coming closer.
"Erric-chan? What's wrong with your eyes?"
"I don't know, but I do know this." he replied as the smirk widened.
"What?"
"...It worked." suddenly the thing making the noise appeared.
It was a large cat like creature, but it was robotic in form it was about three feet tall and perhaps 7 feet tall from head to tail, two metallic fins poking out from its back right at the shoulder blades, its head was helmet in design except for the ears and its lower jaw, the slit were its eyes were glowing yellow dots against a red back ground. It was slowly stalking up to Erric eyeing him with those yellow optics of his. This was the Digimon he created.
Sarina took Erric's hand "Come on, lets get out of here!" she pulled but found him pulling back "Erric-chan!" she saw him give her a look that for once she couldn't read.
Erric held onto Sarina's hand making sure she didn't run. He watched as the metallic cat-like Digimon came closer, the feeling of being in two places at once vanished and was replaced by the feeling that there was something part of him...it felt right that way.
The Metal cat Digimon was now standing on all fours in front of its creator and his best friend, it tilted its head looking Erric in the eyes.
Erric nodded, it was as if it were Sarina was giving a silent message but it was from this new Digimon.
"Erric-chan? What's going on?" Sarina asked.
"He needs a name....partner, your name is Metramon. This is Sarina my best friend."
The Digimon looked up at Sarina "Pleasure to meet you Sarina" it said in a robotic but friendly voice
Sarina was on the brink of shouting for joy that it had worked, but suddenly both Erric and Metramon seemed to pass out "ERRIC-CHAN! METRAMON!"
***Soon afterwards back at Erric's house***
Erric was watching Metramon playing like a kitten with a piece of string from the blinds while Sarina was grabbing some food from the kitchen. Erric was probably enjoying this as much as Metramon, he had his own Digimon not only that but seemed like he could actually feel things off of Metramon at the same time. It made it hard to figure out which one of them were hungry. Sarina walked in with a bunch of packs of snack food "Think he'll even eat this stuff Erric-chan?"
"One way to find out, Meta come here for a second."
Metramon instantly stopped playing with the string and slightly leapt over to his Tamer "Yes Erric?" his robotic voice answered, but something caught his attention, his robotic noise was sniffing up the sent of the junk food "What is this?" he asked eyeing a box of cookies.
"Those are cookies, its food you eat it." he said picking up a cookie and demonstrating.
Metramon lift its paw to pick up a cookie to follow Erric's lead, but quickly found out cat style paws aren't good for picking things up especially with only two claws on his front paws "I seem to be ill adapted in this mode."
Sarina gave a confused look "Say that again?"
"I seem to be ill adapted in this mode."
"No I meant what's that mean?"
"May I change mode to eat properly?"
Erric, who was now munching on a sour power string, raised an eye brow "Do you mean Digivolve?"
"No. I wish to mode change."
Erric suddenly gaged on the sour treat of his "*Cough* MODE CHANGE!?!"
"Affirmative."
Erric and Sarina were dumb struck, Sarina also raising an eye brow asked what was on their minds "What level are you?"
"Rookie"
"And you mode change?" came Erric's shocked reply. "Never mind just show me."
"Acknowledged. METRAMON MODE CHANGE TO!" suddenly Metramon shot upstanding on his hind legs, his head seemed to shift into place as his wrists turned and his front paws claws lengthen somewhat, his chest plate bore an X mark that looks like it was slashed on there "FIGHTER MODE!"
Erric went wide eyed "WOW! A ROOKIE THAT CAN MODE CHANGE?! SWEET!"
"May I begin the eating proses?"
"Ya sure." Erric shrugged
Metramon's new claws were able to grasp one of the cookies and he placed it in his mouth, suddenly he stopped moving.
"META?!?"
Without warning, Metramon shouted "METRAMON MODE CHANGE TO BEAST MODE!" and reverted to his original state and started scarfing down all the food on the plate.
"HEY! STOP!"
***************
From then on, Erric started acting a bit more responsible. However his dear partner had a way of sneaking about and run about wanting to learn new things about his surroundings, which ended up with Erric and Metramon running from the public in a not so pleasant scene and every now and then a new battle with digimon. Unfortunately Metramon was always confused by Erric's victory phase "Ya know you love me baby!" that always ended up with Metramon looking for an actual infant.
