Sky Guy: And here I am again, filled witjh chcocolate and wishing that I could have cereal for dinner. Sorry this took so long. Writers block and all that happy crap. I sereiously had to squeeze this out of my brain, like something out of a tube of tooth paste. Speaking of toothpaste, I have this toothpaste that tastes salty. It remindes me of the time I tried to make ice cream and put in too much salt. Ewww.

S2teennovelist, yes...four whole reviews. I'm sorry. You see, this week...I have school. I didn't even get Monday off, wich sucked. And we're still working in computers. If the teacher were to see me on fan fiction, they'd ban it, and then that would be the end of that. So here I am at my own trusty computor in my own trusty home. And now...I like that second partner idea. I think I can make that work. Really I do.It was nearing midnight when I wrote this chapter and well...Now that I think ofit, it's like I meshed toghether like, four different digimon eposodes in my subconsious. Oops. And it's veyr corny. I don't reallylike this chapter. But I started writing the next one...Oh my gosh. It is wicked awsome. Tucker was severly out of characterin the last chapter. It came out of the blue. Oops again. AndI like your idea ofthekey of Empathy. hmmm...I can make that work. This story would be alot different if you weren't reviewing. I'm going to make up a digimon forSam andReppamon. Horse? Nuhuh. Anddo you want me to tell you howLittle badger is going to turn out, because It's almost done.

Andon another note:

Next new Danny Phantomepisodeis on May5! Telleverybody!TheGuys in white return! And what'sthis? Sam has a new boy friend? (Passes out from shock.)


When Danny got home he immediately went up to his room. He was upset about Tucker, but also slightly upset about how he agreed to let Strabimon kill Sam. And if he had been given the chance, he would have. And it would have been Danny to blame.

"Blacktsunomon." He whispered. "Where are you?" The puff ball hopped out from underneath the bed.

"Danny. Kapurimon told me what happened today." He said.

"Is he here?" The boy asked.

"Yeah." Was the puff ball's reply. "But I think he's sick." Danny got on the floor and looked there. In the darkness, he could barely make out the form of Kapurimon as he hid. The boy took him out and set him on the bed.

"He feels really hot. He may have a fever." Danny said. "But I don't know how to treat a digimon."

"Neither do I." Blacktsunomon sighed. "I just think he needs Tucker."

"But he doesn't want anything to do with me. He cares more about his PDA than me." A tear escaped the puff ball's eye.

"That's Tucker. But he still cares." Danny said. "He just has a weird way of showing it."

Kapurimon just sighed again before his eyes grew wide.

"Tucker's in trouble." He whispered.

"How do you know that?" Danny asked.

"I just do ok!" The puff ball shouted.

"It's like a sixth sense Danny." Blacktsunomon said. "How do you think that I came to your rescue when the Stars attacked. I just knew you needed me. That's when your key started to glow. It knew you were in danger."

"So we have to save Tucker." Danny replied. "And we have to make him apologize to Kapurimon." And with that, he picked up the two and ran out the door.


Tucker was standing in a dark void all alone.

"Hey!" He called out. "Is anyone there?"

"I'm here Tuck." Said a familiar voice. Tucker looked and saw Danny standing there in ghost mode. In his hand was one of Tucker's PDA's.

"I found this for you. I think you dropped it." He said.

"Thanks buddy. But where are we?" Tucker smiled. "I was attacked by this crazy digimon. He wanted me to be his partner, and he took my key. Aren't you gonna give that to me?" Tucker asked as he saw that Danny wasn't letting go of the PDA.

"Yes." The boy replied with an evil grin. He then crushed the device in his hand and threw the remains at the other boy. Tucker kneeled to the ground and tried to pick up all the pieces, but Danny walked over and stepped on his hand.

"Danny!" Tucker shouted. "Why are you doing that?"

"Because we were never friends. I just used you to get what I wanted. I wanted a smart and intelligent person who I could use to help me. That's all I needed you for. And now I'm done with you." Danny then charged up an ecto blast and aimed it at Tucker. The boy was frozen with fright, but was saved by someone pulling him out of the way.

"Sam!" He shouted, looking into the face of his rescuer. "I don't know where we are, but I think that Danny's key has taken over. He's trying to kill me." But then he noticed that Sam was also smiling evilly.

"Don't come running to me. I used you too." She sneered.

"Sam?" Tucker asked, fear clutching his heart.

"We're through with you." Danny snickered. "You were just too stupid to ever see it." Tucker then got to his feet and stared at the people he had thought to be his friends as it all sunk in.

"You used me?" He shouted.

"Yes." They said in unison. Tucker then backed up. His heart pounding with the news. He had been used by the very people he trusted most of all. And now he was all alone. All alone. He stood numb for a moment, but then a piercing anger cut through him like a knife. No one was going to use him. He was stronger than that. Much stronger.

"You can't do that!" Tucker cried.

"Just try to stop us." Danny whispered as he and Sam disappeared. Tucker stood there even after they were gone. He tried to follow them, but all he ran into was more darkness. Then a great blood red key appeared in front of him, along with Datamon. The robot smiled cruelly.

"Now you see what I was trying to tell you. They were never your friends. They just used you. Danny was always the special one. With his powers and his key, but now you have a partner even stronger than his, and I would never betray you."

"I don't believe you." Tucker whispered, more trying to convince himself that it was a lie.

"Do ahead and deny it, but right now I'm all you've got. You're old digimon was too weak to accomplish what you need to do. Let me help you get revenge."

Tucker glared at the robot, but a memory of Danny crushing the PDA in his fist, and firing at him burned like a bright lamp. Once again the anger coursed through him and Tucker gritted his teeth.

"I agree."

"Excellent."


"Tucker!" Danny shouted as he made his way through the deserted streets.

"We'll never find him." Kapurimon cried.

"Sure we will." Danny reassured. "And we'll make sure he's alright."

Just then there was a crash and Strabimon and Gatomon ran from around a corner.

"Are you back for more?" Danny demanded.

"No! Not this time!" Strabimon panted, his eyes wide with fright.

"It's your friend! The geek!" Gatomon gasped. "He and his digimon are tearing up the town. The thing's grown so huge!"

"Tucker?"

"But I'm his digimon." Kapurimon sobbed. "That can't be him."

"And that's not something that Tucker would do. Something's wrong!" Danny then ran in the direction Gatomon and Strabimon had come from.

"You're crazy if you're going in there!" The purple wolf called.

But the boy didn't listen as he went ghost and dropped Blacktsunomon so he could digivolve to Blackgabumon. Danny was then greeted by a horrific sight. There was a large robot ripping the front off a house, and beside him stood Tucker, an evil grin on his face, and a clouded look in his eye.

"Tucker!" Danny shouted. "What's going on! What are you doing!"

"So you have the nerve to ask me what I'm doing?" Tucker snarled.

"I don't want to hurt you. You're my friend."

"Friend!" Tucker shouted. "You're not my friend! You just used me! And now I'm going to get rid of you! Datamon! Get him!" The large robot turned to the ghost boy, who gazed into his eyes with a look of hate.

"What did you do to my friend!" He demanded.

"I did nothing." Datamon sneered. "This is all the fears that he has felt. And I guess they're just coming out now."

"Let my partner go!" Kapurimon shouted, jumping from Danny's arms.

"He's not your partner anymore. He's mine." The robot snickered. "Just look at his key." The small puff ball did so. Instead of the copper one with the red design in the middle , it was blood red all over. At that moment Sam and Kudamon ran up.

"It's Datamon. He's an evil digimon who wants to over throw Wisemon and take the digital world for himself. Although he's no better." The fox said, his eyes narrowed in anger.

"What happened to Tucker?" Danny demanded. "Why does his key look like that?"

Kudamon looked over and gasped.

"Danny. His spirit key. It's been corrupted." The fox said, his eyes wide in fear.

"Just like mine?" Danny asked.

"No. Much different. Datamon poured his energy into Tucker's pure key. This turned the key into the key of anger. Your key is the key of darkness. Your key is much more powerful. And while your key will someday overtake you, this one would not do it. But something's happened to him. It's like he's under a spell." Kudamon said.

"So what can we do to help him?" Kapurimon sobbed. "Even if he was mean to me, I still want to help. He's my partner!" The small puff ball broke down into tears.

"There is something we can do." Kudamon replied. "We have to defeat Datamon. Doing that will take his energy away from the key and revert it back to normal. So let's fight!" The fox glowed for a moment, and then digivolved to Reppamon. Blackgabumon followed suit and changed into Blackgarurumon.

"Let's go!" He growled. "Howling blaster!" The blue blast aimed itself at the robot's leg, but he just shrugged it off.

"Let me try." Reppamon said. "Whirling blade!" He went into a forward somersault and flew at Datamon. But when he made contact, only a violent jolt greeted him as he hit the creatures leg and did no damage.

"That's not good." Danny gasped. "I'm going to have to do something. And I don't care what I have to do to get it!" Danny then flew at Datamon, firing and ecto blast at him. It just bounced off.

"So you have the key of darkness." Datamon smiled.

"Destroy him!" Tucker shouted. "Destroy him for using me!"

"And that's just what I'm gonna do." The robot laughed. Wires shot from his fingers and wrapped around the unfortunate Danny. The boy grunted as they began to wind tight.

"Let me go! Tucker!" He shouted.

"Destroy him!" Tucker demanded.

"You don't want this!" Sam shouted. "Danny's your friend! He's almost always been there for you!"

"And like I'm going to believe you!" Tucker snarled. "You were in it with him! We were never friends! Destroy her too Datamon!"

"Sure." The digimon laughed. More wires shot from his other hand and grabbed Sam.

"Raven!" Reppamon shouted. Blackgarurumon ran up beside him.

"We have to do something." He growled.

"But there's nothing that we can do. None of our attacks affect him. All we'd be doing is weakening ourselves." Reppamon replied.

"But we can't just sit here!" Blackgarurumon shouted.

"Well then I'll just have to do something for you!" Datamon sneered. "Digital bomb!" A few missiles with evil faces painted on them flew in the good digimon's direction and before they could move, hit them head on. The attack was so strong that it caused them to de digivolve to their rookie forms.

"No!" Danny shouted. Then Datamon squeezed tighter.

"Does that hurt ghost boy?" The digimon snickered. "Sorry, let me make it better by cracking a few ribs!"

"I can't phase through!" Dannyshoutedin his head.

Danny cried out again as Datamon pulled tighter. He could feel the pressure growing, as his bones strained to stay in tact. And all the while, Danny heard Tucker laughing cruelly.

"Stop this Tucker!" Sam shouted as Datamon as he began to crush her as well. "You gave him his power, and you can take it away!"

"Like I would do that right when you're about to be killed." The boy sneered. Then he felt something ram into his leg. He looked down only to see the tear stained face of Kapurimon.

"Stop it!" The puff ball shouted. "You can't do this!" Tucker growled and kicked him aside.

"I can do anything I want. My new partner is much stronger than you. And he'd never leave me."

"I didn't leave you! You told me to go away! You didn't want me around!" Kapurimon shouted. "And all I wanted was someone to be around! And you just didn't understand!"

"Datamon!" Tucker shouted. The robot nodded and shot more wires at him, but the puff ball jumped out of the way.

"I've been alone for so long! And you don't understand what it feels like! Anywhere I would go, Wisemon would attack there! When every time I made friends, he would take them away! But being alone was dangerous! All my friends were taken then. When there was no one there to protect them! And I'll probably never see them again! And you don't understand how hard it is to be all alone, fearing for your freedom! That's what Wisemon has done to my world! When I came here and you found me, I really believed that we could team up and save the digital world! But all you've done is prove me wrong!"

Tucker growled and kicked Kapurimon again.

"You can kick me all you want, but I'm not going to leave you alone! Right now I'm all that's stopping you and I'm not going to give up till I'm dead!"

The small puff ball stood his ground.

"Even if you so kick me, I'm wearing a helmet. It protects my head from your foot. Not so bad for a stupid outdated piece of tech!"

"Get out of here!" Tucker shouted.

"I won't!" Kapurimon sobbed. "I won't! You have to remember! You have to remember that Danny and Sam are your friends! This is the key doing this! This isn't what you really want!"

"You're wrong…" Tucker whispered.

"No I'm not! I know I'm right! I know it! Break away from Datamon! He's controlling you!" Kapurimon screeched.

"Controlling me?" Tucker asked.

"Yes!"

"Stop that!" Datamon shouted. "Digital bomb!" The missiles shot straight for the small puff ball.

"Kapurimon…" Tucker said slowly.

"I'm not running away anymore!" he digimon shouted.

"Wait! What am I doing?" Tucker asked himself. Then he turned to Danny and Sam, still being slowly crushed by Datamon. "What have I done? This isn't me. Danny and Sam are my friends. What's going on!" A sharp pain shot through the boy's head and he shouted.

"What is happening!"

"Tucker!" Kapurimon shouted as he barely dodged another attack. "You need to understand me! I'm your partner, but no matter what I'll always fight by your side! I promise! But just don't leave me here alone!"

"He's here? Here? I thought that he left me. But he's weak. Isn't he? But if he was so weak, why is he still standing in front of me? I kicked him, twice, and still he stayed. Does that make him stronger than Datamon?"

Then something hit Tucker like a bomb.

"Now I remember! Datamon did this to me! It was his attack! That nightmare syndrome thing is doing this! Not me! I have to fight it! Danny and Sam are my friends, and I won't let this machine use me!"

"Hey Datamon! Tucker shouted. "I'm through with you! Let them go!"

"What?" The robot asked.

"You heard me. Let them go!"

"Sorry. But while I still have you supplying power to me, I'm going to finish the job. Without the ghost boy, Wisemon will soon lose all his power, and then I can take over. I only need you for a little while longer."

"It wasn't Danny and Sam that were using me. It was you!" Tucker shouted.

"Wow. How smart you are. Now just leave me alone while I finish the job."

"No!" Tucker shouted. "I won't!"

"Kapurimon digivolve to…Hagurumon!" The gear flew up next to the boy.

"How did that happen!" Datamon shouted in confusion. "You're key is linked to me now!"

"I don't know." Tucker gasped.

"Whatever it as, I like it. Cog crusher!" Hagurumon shouted. A gear hit Datamon in the eye.

"Hey! That hurt!" He shouted. Then he began to shrink back to his normal size. "What's happening!" He demanded.

"I'm not angry at my friends anymore, and now I understand why Hagurumon hates to alone. And now we can beat you and work on freeing the digital world!"

"I may no longer have the power from your key, but still have the power of an ultimate! And you are just a rookie! There's no way you can beat me!" Datamon threw Danny and Sam to the ground, where they landed, unconscious.

"Digital bomb!"

"Cog crusher!" The gear flew into the air and hit the bombs before they could do any damage.

"Cable crusher!" The robot yelled. More wires flew from his fingers and tried to grab the gear, but he flew out of the way. Datamon growled and used his missiles once again. But this time they hit their mark.

"Hagurumon!" Tucker shouted.

"That hurt." He mumbled.

"Get up!" The boy cried desperately.

"I don't know if I can." Was the slow reply.

"Without you we've got no chance! If you don't help us now, We're done for! Come on! You're not alone now! I understand! You just have to keep fighting! For the digital world!"

"Yeah!" Hagurumon shouted. "For the digital world! And for you!"

"For me?" Tucker asked, surprised.

"Yeah. You're my partner. And I'm going to fight for you. I'm gonna save your friends."

"Hagurumon. Thank you." Tucker said, small tears welling up in his eyes. Then the red key began to glow a bright red.

"I feel strange." The gear mumbled. Then he began to glow as well.

"Hagurumon digivolve to… Guardromon!" When the light faded away, there in the digimon's place was a large armored robot.

"Wow… Tucker whispered in awe. "That's cool."

"Ooooh…A champion." Datamon mocked. "Like that's going to help."

"Guardro missiles!" The robot shouted. They flew at the other digimon and hit him head on, causing him to reel backwards.

"What was that?" The asked is surprise.

"That was me attacking!" Was Guardromon's reply. "Don't make fun of Champions. Not all of us are weak like you."

"I'm an ultimate!" Datamon screamed, insulted.

"Whatever!" And with that Guardromon attacked again, leaving Datamon banged up.

"My plan was so perfect." He groaned. "And your partner seemed just the one for the job."

"Well you were wrong." The robot replied. "Tucker might not have understood then, but he sure does now! Guardro missiles!"

And in a great flash of light Datamon was gone. His data flew into the air, and was absorbed by the good robot.

"That seemed too easy." Tucker sighed. "After all that, he was just gone."

"Well the only thing that matters is that he's never coming back." Guardromon smiled. "And now we're friends."

"You can come to school with me." Tucker smiled. "But you have to stay in my locker. I'll check up on you every hour."

"That's better than being home all alone. And if you ever need help, I'll be there right away." Guardromon said with a grin.

"Yeah. And I promise I won't yell at you again."


"Danny…are you sleeping Danny?" Hissed a menacing voice. The ghost boy was standing in a black void.

"Go away!" Danny shouted.

"Oh I won't. Guess who I am Danny."

"I don't know, but I want you to go away!" The boy cried.

"Oh you're no fun at all. Well, I'm the one who you will soon call master… I am Wisemon."

Danny stood in the darkness looking around.

"Get out of my head!" He demanded.

"No...I rather like toying with you, but your transformation is not going to well…It's taking too long…"

"Well I like it that way." Danny snapped.

"Well I don't, and you shall soon learn that only my word matters…I'll be coming Danny. I'll be coming to make you my warrior…"

"No!" Danny shouted. "Get out of my head! No!"

"Watch for me Danny. I know you'll come to me."

"Get out of my head!"


Spy Guy: Hey. This isn't in bold. Oops...
