Tyrone and the others learned why Julie was against Ninmon digivolving and fighting. She was afraid of Ninmon getting hurt and she thought digivolving could make it worse. Then, Apemon appeared and they had their first real battle. Sometimes digimon come to the real world and they can act crazy. So Sean and the others decided to fight digimon to keep people safe from the digimon that attack. They defeated Apemon and they believe he was just sent back to the digital world. Sean seems to really know his stuff.
Digimon

And trusting each other
We live by the lessons we learned
As we work towards one solution
Through digivolution
I am the one, I am the one
Digimon
Forever united as one
Digimon
Together the battles are won
Digimon
Through us let your spirit evolve
If we're all for one world, there's one for us all
If we're all for one world, there's one for us all
Digimon
Another day at school has come and gone. Sean had his own cellphone and he was on it with someone, but he didn't seem so happy.
"I'm really sorry, Sean. They still need me here. It looks like I'll be home late again."
"Its fine, Dad." Sean said, but he didn't really sound all that sincere. "Do you have any idea when you will be available?"
"I'm afraid not." Sean's father said on the other side of the phone. "Don't worry. I'll be home as soon as I can and I'll let you know when anything opens up. Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yeah. I'll see you when I do." Sean said and ended the call. "It's really nothing new." Sean was on his way out from the school.
"Sean, please wait." Sean turned around and saw Miss Ayachi.
"Miss Ayachi? Is there something I can do for you?" Sean asked.
"I was just wondering if anyone from your father will be attending a parent/teacher's conference." Miss Ayachi said.
"No. I'm afraid my father is too busy." Sean said. Miss Ayachi sensed that something was wrong and a teacher is to help their students with their problems.
"Sean, is everything okay at home? You may not be in my class, but you are a student at this school and I am suppose to help students." Miss Ayachi said.
"That's okay. I'm doing fine. It's just a usual routine I have with my father." Sean said and just went out. Miss Ayachi knew not to force anything out of him. Sean should only open up when he wants to. Sean was on his way out from the school when he saw Tyrone run out and was on his way to the park where Dragmon is hiding out.
….
The Park
"Dragmon, I'm here!" Tyrone called out and Dragmon came out of his little hiding spot. "I also brought those donuts I promised."
"Great! I'm hungry!" Dragmon said.
"I know, but you don't want to get sick." Tyrone said as he stepped inside, but he was shocked to see what he saw. Part of the floor was all torn and dug out. "What did you do to this place?!"
"It felt a little small in here. So I thought I make it a little bigger." Dragmon said. "Besides, no one really comes here. So isn't it okay?"
"I guess. At least let's hope." Tyrone said.
"Tyrone!" Tyrone turned around and saw Sean was able to find them.
"Hey, Sean. What's up?" Tyrone said.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to come over to my place." Sean said. "I think I could use a little company."
"Sure. I've actually been meaning to talk to you." Tyrone said. "I wanted to ask you a few questions about this whole digimon thing. You seem more experience in this than Julie is."
"Yeah. Sure." Sean said.
"Is it okay if I come too?" Dragmon said.
"Sure. Mistiomon will be there as well." Sean said. After that talk with his father, Sean could use a little company and there's nothing wrong with having a little more.
…
Sean's House
"Whoa! You live here?!" Tyrone said. He and Dragmon were amazed with Sean's house. It looked like one of those traditional Japanese houses and a little big as well. "They don't make them like this these days."
"This place is big! Much bigger than Tyrone's house. I guess that means Sean's got more money." Dragmon said.
"Hey! Don't say something like that." Tyrone said.
"It's fine. It's really no big deal." Sean said.
"Sean…" All of them looked up and saw Mistiomon standing on the wall. "I take it he isn't really showing up."
"No. It's the usual, Mistiomon. Don't worry about it." Sean said. Tyrone and Dragmon looked at each other with them confused as to what they were talking about. Sean let them in and they hang outside. Dragmon walked over to a small pond and saw some fish.
"Ooh! Fish!" Dragmon said.
"Not for you. Don't touch." Mistiomon said.
"Mean." Dragmon said.
"So what did you want to talk to me about?" Sean asked.
"More about digimon. Sort of like what happened with Apemon." Tyrone said. "Do you think he really went back to the digital world?"
"I think so. We left his data alone when he was defeated." Sean said. "Apemon's data probably went back to the digital world and will soon be reincarnated and start his life all over again. That's what usually happens with digimon."
"But how come digimon are appearing in our world in the first place?" Tyrone said. "I thought they were all just imaginary."
"I'm not really sure. I don't have all the answers." Sean said. "They could be looking for partners to become stronger, but they're not like Dragmon and Mistiomon. They're all not lucky to find their partners right away and they could cause some problems. That's why we fight them like we did with Apemon."
"Sean?! Is that you out there?" They all heard a woman's voice. Mistiomon moved quickly as he grabbed Dragmon and hid. Sean and Tyrone looked and saw a woman with shoulder length brown hair with some grey in it. She wore a yellow sweater and a white dress with a green apron over it. "Hello there. I don't think I've met you before."
"This is Tyrone. He goes to my school, Grandma." Sean said.
"Grandma?!" Tyrone said as he found that a little surprising.
"Stop squirming." Mistiomon whispered as Dragmon was trying to get out of Mistiomon's grasp.
"It's nice to meet you. I'm Melinda. It's always nice to meet some of Sean's friends. Would you boys like anything to eat?"
"No thank you. I actually ate recently." Tyrone said.
"We're fine, Grandma." Sean said.
"Okay. I'll just leave you two alone." Melinda said as she went back in the house.
"Let go!" Dragmon said as he got out of Mistiomon's hands and dropped to the ground.
"That was your grandmother?" Tyrone said. "She looked a little on the young side to have you as a grandson."
"Yeah. My parents got married pretty young and I came not soon after." Sean said.
"So where are your parents?" Tyrone asked.
"Dad is at work. He's actually a male model." Sean said. Tyrone was shocked again.
"Your dad is a model?!" Tyrone said.
"Yeah, but he's always working at some photoshoot or something. So he isn't around so much." Sean said.
"What about your mother?" Tyrone said, but Sean got a little sad by that and tried not to show it.
"She actually got sick and passed away years ago." Sean said.
"Oh… I'm sorry." Tyrone said, but Sean just shook it off.
"Anyway, you still have questions about digimon?" Sean said.
"Right! So how do you think digimon get partners like ours did in the first place?" Tyrone said.
"I believe there has to be some common ground." Sean said. "There has to be something that makes the two compatible, something in common that could create some sort of deep connection. You know it's formed when you are given a digivice like we did."
"That's another thing." Tyrone said. "Why do you think we've each been given different digivices? Do you think we can unlock all kinds of different powers depending on the digivice? Take Julie for example. Hers allows her to use those cards and maybe she can bio-merge."
"Maybe, but what about mine?" Sean said. "It really isn't that much different from yours."
"Well, yours is from season two. Maybe yours allows you to armor or DNA digivolve." Tyrone said.
"But certain requirements are needed for that and I don't have that." Sean said.
"You also said that something deep is needed to form a partnership." Tyrone said. "What's yours with Mistiomon?" Sean looked to Mistiomon and already knew the answer to that.
"I wanted a friend and Mistiomon wanted to learn more about friendship." Sean said.
…
Yukon
Yukon looked over information on Tyrone and the others. He saw what happened in the garage and what happened with Apemon. He's very curious about Tyrone and his friends.
"Sir, why do you care so much about those kids?" Lesly asked.
"I'm curious as to why these kids are with those pests." Yukon said.
"They probably aren't aware of what's going on." Lesly said.
"I suppose you're right." Yukon said. "Kids don't understand most things. They probably think it's all just some sort of game. Soon, we'll help them be rid of those things. In the meantime, keep a close eye on these kids. Find out what you can about them. I don't want to take chances." Lesly understood and got to work. Yukon isn't too familiar with humans and digimon partnership and he considered it to be a problem.
…
Sean
Night soon rolled over and most people would be asleep by now. Sean on the other hand was still awake in his bed. He just stared at his ceiling and thought a lot about what he talked about with Tyrone today.
"I needed a friend and Mistiomon wanted to know about friendship." Sean said. "I'll never forget the day I met Mistiomon."
….
Flashback
Just like Sean said, his father was a male model. Sean was over at one of his father's shoots and just sat there as his father posed. His father looked pretty young himself with neatly combed blonde hair.
"Look good, Frank. Looking good." The photographer said. Frank might have been looking good, but Sean was bored with all this.
"How about a few shots with my son?" Frank said. "Sean, come on over. Step in front of the camera."
"Uh… No thanks, Dad." Sean said. 'He wants me in front of the camera? Yeah right. He might be a model, but I hate being in front of the camera.' Sean thought. "Dad, can I just go home? I'm bored and getting hungry."
"I'm sorry, Sean. I'm still needed here." Frank said. Frank might be having a good time, but Sean doesn't really want to be here. "Tell you what. I'll call Grandma to come and get you. I'll just meet you at home. Is that good."
"Yeah. Sure." Sean said, but he much rather go back with Frank.
…
Sean's House
Sean was able to make it home and eat, but that's not all he did. He went over to a shrine that was dedicated to his late mother.
"Mom, I miss you." Sean said. "Dad's always working and it gets kind of lonely around here. I wish you were still here. I would say something to Dad, but I don't know if I can." Sean felt lonely being in that big house. He loves his grandmother, but he wants more. "I just wish I had a friend, someone to stay by my side." This was really the only time Sean let his real feelings out and he did that as a tear rolled down his face and hit the floor. That's where it all began.
"You desire a friend, do you?" Sean was surprised to hear someone else's voice. Sean looked around, but he didn't see anyone.
"Is someone there?" Sean asked.
"You want a friend and I desire something myself. Perhaps you can help me." Sean turned around and saw screen made out of light opening and someone was walking in it. "I'm usually a loner, but I want to learn about friendship. We might be able to help each other."
"You would really do that?" Sean said as he held out his hand. That was when a light emerged and his digivice came to him. The screen was changing form and Mistiomon stepped into the real world. "Who are you?"
"I'm Mistiomon. As of this moment, we are partners. I heard so much about friendship and I want to know more about it. Maybe you can teach me."
"Sure. It's not really that hard." Sean said and this was the start for him.
End of Flashback
…
Mistiomon
Mistiomon was out on his own. He stood at the top of a post and looked around the city, trying to clear his mind.
'I've been in this world for some time now.' Mistiomon thought. 'There is still much I wish to know and wish to understand. Sean was chosen as my partner. He can help me and I must be there for him.'
"Hey! You stand there any longer and the birds will stand on you." Mistiomon was surprised as he turned around and saw another digimon there. This was a small digimon, but it looked like a white cat on two legs with grey tiger-like stripes on his back and his head. "The poor sap. You got yourself a human partner and he treats like you a pet, leaving you out in the cold."
"Who are you?" Mistiomon said.
Digimon Analyzer: The name's Ligermon. I might be a rookie, but I'm tough. If you don't think so, let me give you a taste of my Tiger Spark.
"I'll tell you, I feel pity for you and those other saps." Ligermon said. "You hang around those humans like pets and think you need them."
"I take it from your tone, you don't think that's necessary." Mistiomon said.
"You better believe it. I bet you all wish you were like me. Free as a bird." Ligermon said. "Listen, ditch the human. You're better off without him." Mistiomon was getting annoyed with this. He just jumped down and started walking away. "Hey! Where are you going?"
"I've got better things to do. I can tell you're nothing, but talk." Mistiomon said. "Sean doesn't treat me like a pet. He treats me like an equal. I was just trying to clear my head, but I can't do that with a chatterbox like you."
"Is that so? Let's see what you think of this!" Ligermon said.
"Tiger Spark!" He pointed his finger and shot a spark of electricity with it hitting Mistiomon in the shoulder. Mistiomon turned to him, but Ligermon was already leaving.
"What was that about?" Mistiomon questioned, but he suddenly sensed something.
…
Sean
Sean was trying to fall asleep, but his digivce was alerting him of something.
"Another digimon!" Sean said. Fearing this could be trouble, Sean quickly changed and ran as fast as he could. Sean followed the signal and he could see a small fog bank ahead. "That must be the place!" Sean ran in through it thinking a digimon would be there, but he saw webs everywhere. "What's with the webs?"
"Sean, lookout!" He heard Mistiomon and saw him save him from webs being shot at him. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, but what's going on?" Sean asked. Mistiomon looked in the direction of the digimon and Sean saw something crawling through the webs. It looked a red spider with purple legs and had one giant eye with fangs. "What is that ugly thing?"
Digimon Analyzer (Mistiomon's voice): That's Arachnamon. She's a champion digimon. You don't want to step in her web with Poison Parlor.
"Stay back, Sean. This one is dangerous." Mistiomon said. Mistiomon jumped up to Arachnamon and tried beating her around, but she was strong.
"Nice try." Arachnamon said as she shot some webs and got himself tangled.
"Mistiomon!" Sean called as he went to help him.
"Sean, getaway!" Mistiomon said, but it was too late. Arachnamon shot more webs and Sean got tangled himself. Arachnamon climbed down and had her sights set on Sean. "No!" Mistiomon swung around and got himself free as he jumped in front of Arachnamon, but Arachnamon sinked her teeth into him.
"Mistiomon!" Sean shouted. Arachnamon tossed Mistiomon aside and aimed for him.
"Poison Parlor!" Arachnamon released a breath of poison and Mistiomon got blasted from it. Mistiomon dropped to the ground and was hurt badly. Sean was able to get free from the web and ran to him.
"Mistiomon!" Sean shouted as he tried to help him up.
"Sean, run while you can." Mistiomon said.
"No. I'm not leaving you." Sean said.
"Lookout." Mistiomon said. Sean looked up and saw Arachnamon leaping at them, but Sean wasn't going to run. He was willing to risk himself to protect Mistiomon and he didn't show the least bit of fear. Suddenly, something happened. A bright light came from his digivice and it knocked Arachnamon away. Sean pulled out his digivice and saw a symbol on it.
"What is this?" Sean said, but he thought about what he talked about with Tyrone. "Maybe Tyrone is right. It's our only chance. Digi-Armor Energize!" Mistiomon felt reenergized as energy coursed through him.
"Mistiomon armor digivolve to…" Mistiomon began to digivolve in a powerful. He turned into a werewolf with red fur and black pants. He had flame-design armor over his claws, feet, and his face. "WereFlamemon!"
"WereFlamemon?!" Sean said as he couldn't believe that it actually worked.
Digimon Analyzer: I am WereFlamemon. I am known as the Burning Courage. I hold attacks such as Wolf Burner and Blazing Howl. Careful with me.
"Your courage allowed this power to awaken, Sean. Now I will finish it." WereFlamemon said as he stepped forward. He jumped right at Arachnamon and slashed against her and knocked her back. Archnamon tried shooting webs at him, but he burned them all away.
"Blazing Howl!" WereFlamemon breathed out a powerful flame and it blasted Arachnamon. Arachnamon couldn't handle the heat and she was turned into data. Everything began to clear away and they were safe.
"I can't believe you armor digivolve." Sean said. "Tyrone was right. My digivice allows you to actually armor digivolve."
"Yes, but I couldn't' have done it without you." WereFlamemon said. "Your courage to help me, even if it meant sacrificing yourself, is what allowed this."
"Hey. What are friends for?" Sean said. After all that's going on with him, there's not a chance he's going to lose his closest friend.
To Be Continued….
Amazing that Mistiomon can actually armor digivolve. I wonder what else is in store for these kids. To find out more, you'll just have to keep watching Digimon Digital Monsters.
