No owny
Danny woke up in his room a while later. He tried to get up, but his chest throbbed in pain.
"Are you all right partner?" Asked a voice. Danny looked around and saw a small black and white puff ball with a horn coming out of its head bounce out from beneath the bed. In its mouth, it held a black key on a chain.
"What are you?" Danny asked. "And where'd that other guy go?"
"I am that other guy." The puff ball said, spitting out the key. "I'm just in my in-training form so I could sneak into your room." Danny shook his head in disbelief.
"I still don't get it." He said.
"Well I guess it would take a while." The thing thought. "By the way, my name's Blacktsunomon."
"Are my friends ok?" Danny asked.
"Oh yeah." The creature replied. "The girl just had a bump on the head, and the boy was simply scared."
"That's good." Danny sighed with relief. He relaxed and soon fell asleep.
Find the key…
It was simple.
You'd get out of the digital world if you found the key.
Simple right?
To Reppamon (Or Leppamon.) It was the easiest thing in the world. Find some Earth kid, and get to stay there for the rest of his life. The perfect deal. Of course he accepted. It would be foolish not to. The masked fox Digimon crept through the dark alley ways of Amity Park. There was a loud screech. Reppamon spazzed and scratched at the air with his claws. It was nothing. It was just a car…Wizardmon had told him about the cars.
"Avoid them at all costs. Getting hit by one of those, would be like getting run over by a Tankmon."
Harmless if avoided. The fox sniffed the air through the air slits in his mask. The key was close. In an instant, Reppamon had begun a head on sprint through the alleys, not stopping until he came to a building with a sign reading "Fenton Works." On it. He smiled and walked around to the back, searching for a way in.
Sam was walking towards Danny's house when she spotted something flash in the alley behind the house. Unable to put her curiosity aside, she walked towards where the light had been.
"Hello?" She called. There was a the falling of a trash can, and a male voice shouted out,
"Whirling blade!" Sam screamed as a blur spun past her, clipping off a small section of hair. In an instant the thing spun around and stopped its assault , leaving a beautiful masked fox in its place. Sam stood petrified for a moment, staring at the creature.
"Get out of my way!" The fox growled. "I have to get to the key!"
"What key?" Sam asked, standing her ground.
"That boy's spirit key! Wisemon wants it and I'm gonna' get it for him so I can stay here forever!" The creature went into a forward somersault and once again shouted,
"Whirling blade!" Its blade-like tail whistled through the air from the high speeds. Sam managed to dodge it again and the fox whirled into a pile of full trash cans. It got up and snarled.
"I'm gonna' get that key! And you won't stop me!" Sam could've left right then, but she chose not to.
"Maybe I'll just let you go in, if you tell me what all these spirit keys are about." She said.
"Why should I trust you?" the fox spat.
"Because I know that boy. I can get into his house any time I like. I have a house key." She showed the brass object to the fox. Its masked eyes followed it.
"Ok. You got yourself a deal Raven." The fox said. "You see, my name it Reppamon. I'm a champion level Digimon. I was sent here by Wisemon to get that boy's spirit key."
"Well I know that." Sam sighed. "I need to know everything else."
"I was told that every human hold a spirit key inside them. A key that can make us Digimon Digivolve to higher levels. Wisemon holds so much power that he made me Digivolve past Rookie, but that's as far as he can go. That's as much as he told me. He said that I have to get the boy's key and him as well for the plan to do down."
"Did he tell you what the plan was?" Sam asked.
"No. I don't really care. I just want to live here without him bothering me." Reppamon growled.
"Well why do you need him to stay here?" Sam suggested. The fox began to laugh.
"He's a very powerful force in the digital world. He can take my power away like that. I like being powerful. It makes me feel big. When I was a Rookie, I was treated like a no body. But being a Champion is what I've always dreamed of…" The Digimon trailed off, and Sam could see wet marks forming on the mask that shielded his eyes.
"So you're doing this because you're afraid of him?" She asked. The fox looked at her.
"I am not afraid of anything! I'm not afraid of Wisemon or any of his goons!"
"Then don't do this. You don't have to." Sam urged. Reppamon shook his head.
"No! I have to do this! I'm not a digimon that is unreliable! I am not afraid to hurt or kill any who get in my way! Starting with you!" Before Sam could even scream Reppamon had once again gone into his whirling blade attack and was upon her. But mostly by miracle, the Digimon stopped right before he sliced her in half. Reppamon stared at the girl, who was tensed up in fear. He growled in her face and shouted out,
"Random claw!" His large paw with dagger-like claws cut through the air as it came closer upon her face. But right before it hit, he stopped and place the paw back upon the ground.
"Why can't I attack you!" He snarled, lifting the other paw, only to have the event repeat itself.
"Maybe it's your conscious?" Sam asked. Reppamon snarled.
"I don't have a conscious, Raven." He spat through the mask. "I'm a killer. I can rip or tear apart any one who gets in my way!"
"Except me." Sam said, smugly. Reppamon growled and tried to attack, but stopped short again.
"Why can't I attack you?" The fox cried out in anguish. "What is so different about you, that I can't attack? Tell me Raven!" Sam noticed again that there were wet spots on the mask.
"It could be that you're feeling guilty." She replied. "Or it could be that you're trying too hard to be mean. It might not be your nature."
"But Digimon are fighters. That's what we were designed to do. To fight!" Reppamon sobbed. "If I don't fight, then I am a failure to my kind! We have to fight!" Sam stared at the creature. His sobs were very audible now.
"But it's not who you are." She whispered. The girl reached out her hand and touched the fox on its forehead. It cringed slightly, but did not move. A white and black mist began to circle around Sam and Reppamon. She stood rooted to the spot, as her chest began glowing and a Yin Yang sign appeared over her head. Then a great silver key, with a Yin Yang sign appeared around her neck on a long silver chain. The mist disappeared and left Sam to examine the object around her neck.
"Where'd this thing come from?" She asked Reppamon.
"That is your spirit key, Raven." The fox replied. "Like I said, everyone has a spirit key. You have the key of balance. The key that unlocks my powers." He whispered. Sam stared for a moment at the form of Reppamon.
"I'm the key to your power?" She asked. The fox nodded.
"You are my partner." He said. "With you I do not need Wisemon's power. I so not need to find the key of darkness." With that, the fox began to glow and seemed to grow smaller. In his place was a creature with a fox-like head and white fur. The ears were black tipped and in the left one was a small hoop ear ring. It had only two legs with sharp purple claws. The back half was like a spectral mist, curled around a circular golden object that shone in the light. Sam stared in wonder at this small creature that looked up at her with trusting eyes. Then it looked away in shame.
"My name is Kudamon now. Reduced once again to a Rookie." It looked at her again. "But we're partners now. Wisemon's going to send many more Digimon, who were, like me, hungry for power. They will give your friend no rest. I shall stand by your side, Raven, and not let any harm come to him, or you." Sam smiled.
"My name is Sam. Not Raven." She corrected.
"But that is what you remind me of. A majestic Raven. When I was here many many years ago for the first time I heard a poem about a Raven. When you first called out, I wasn't sure that I heard you, just like the man in the poem heard the Raven, but saw no one. But you were there, and I panicked. I found that in my Champion state, I panicked a lot."
"Did you like the poem?" Sam asked.
"Yes I did." Kudamon replied. "I liked it a lot."
Sam smiled again.
"It was written by a man named Edgar Allen Poe who died in 1849."
"That was a long time ago." The digimon commented.
"But the Raven was written before that." Sam continued. "I have more works by him. Like the Cask of Amontillado."
"That sounds creepy." The digimon said.
"It is. It takes place in Italy during the supreme madness of carnival. Also known as Mardie Gras." The Digimon looked at Sam, confused.
"What's Mardie Gras?" He asked.
"Let's go home and I'll show you."
Spy: I'm in a hurry so, enjoy! And give me ideas for tucker's key an ddigimon. not Tentomon! Ok bye!
