Learning the Ropes:

The sun was shining high up in the sky and people filled the city streets. But as everyone was up and about that Saturday, Kaito was sitting in his attic with his two digimon partners while examining his Digimon card game deck. "This digivice has a card reader like Tamers, so that must mean I can use these cards to upgrade you guys" Kaito said as he shuffles from one card to the next. "But in Tamers, they only had one partner while I have two. I wonder what happens if I slash a card through the reader?" he mused before a scream came from downstairs caught their attention.

The brunet gets off the trunk he was sitting on and clips his digivice to his pants before walking to the attic staircase to see what was going on. When he got there, he saw his mother with a terrified look on her face. "Kaito, is that another digimon?!" the woman exclaimed, pointing at Raremon who was standing next to her son.

"Well… Yeah it is mum. He was the digimon that appeared last night and after BlackGuilmon had defeated him, my digivice captured him and made him my partner" Kaito explained while rubbing the back of his head.

"You have two partners now?" the brunet's mother sighed as she puts her head in her hand. "Can you please keep that one in your digivice, the house is already full as it is".

"Yes mum" Kaito said before turning towards Raremon. "Sorry buddy, mum's word is law in our family" he said as he presses the up-left button, bringing up a picture of Raremon. He then presses the middle button to bring up a menu that said 'Return Digimon to Digivice?' and selected 'yes'. In a flash, the sludge digimon was gone.

"Good, now come downstairs. Shiro is waiting for you in the living room" the woman said before leaving the hall way.

"Shiro? What's he doing here?" Kaito asks no one in particular as he climbs down the attic stairs and follows his mother with BlackGuilmon in tow. When they reached the living room, they saw Shiro wearing an orange shirt and brown pants sitting at the couch watching TV. "Hey Shiro, what cha doing at my house today?" the younger brunet asks, sitting down at a chair opposite of his older friend.

"Nothing much really, I just wanted to know if you want to go hang out" Shiro shrugged his shoulders as he turns his gaze from the TV to Kaito. "Whoa, Kaito is that a digimon?!" he asks when he notices BlackGuilmon, who was casually standing next to his partner.

"Yep! Shiro, meet my partner; BlackGuilmon. I just got him yesterday and I'm trying to get the hang of being a Tamer" Kaito explained as he pets his digimon's head.

"Wait, if your partner is a BlackGuilmon, wouldn't that make you a gogglehead like Takato Matsuda?" Shiro asks his friend.

"Who says I'm a gogglehead? In case you didn't notice, I don't have any goggles on my head" the younger brunet said, pointing to his slightly unruly hair.

"Yet, that is. Come on man, think about it. You have a fire type digimon as a partner, you have brown hair and you're athletic. You have all the makings of a gogglehead; the only thing that's missing is the goggles" the older mused while looking at his friend through rectangle he made with his hands.

"I'm still not going to wear goggles on my head" Kaito stated flatly. "Now do you want to keep annoying me by asking me to wear goggles on my head or do you want to go hang out?" he asks as he gets off the chair.

"I choose hanging out, since you could tell BlackGuilmon to shoot fireballs at me if I chose the other option" Shiro said, following his friend out the living room.

"Turns out there is a brain under all that hair" the younger brunet joked as he grabs his wallet and puts on his shoes. "Mum, me, BlackGuilmon and Shiro are going out!" he called out to inside the house before leaving the house with friends in tow. "So Shiro, where do you want to go hang out?" he asks after a while of walking down the street.

"I don't know really" Shiro admitted, causing Kaito to sweatdropped. "Hey Kaito, are you sure it's okay to have BlackGuilmon walking in the streets like this?" he asks as he notices some of the shock and awed stares the trio were gaining.

"Couldn't do a thing if I wanted to, my digivice won't keep BlackGuilmon inside it for some reason" Kaito said, taking out his black and crimson device and waving it around in the air.

"I guess we have no choice huh?" Shiro shrugged before the digivice started beeping.

"Oh great, sorry Shiro but duty calls. Come on BlackGuilmon, we got a digimon to catch!" Kaito called out as he and his partner runs down the street following the holographic compass.

"Man, I wish I had a digimon partner" the lone brunet groaned before turning around to leave. But as he was about to walk away, he heard some noises coming from an empty alley. "Hello? Is anybody there?" he called out but got no response. Shiro cautiously enters the alley until he notices a figure in between the trashcans. "No way, its…" he trailed off as he crouches down in front of the figure. "Don't worry, I don't bite" he said softly, picking up the figure into his arms.

Meanwhile with Kaito and BlackGuilmon, they had found the digimon they were looking for. It was a giant black dinosaur with lots of jagged red lines on his body, leather training grips on his arms and wearing a giant dinosaur skull as a helmet.

"It says here that this digimon is a BlackTyrannomon, but I don't remember this digimon species wearing a bone helmet before" Kaito said after scanning the target digimon. "He has a pretty thick armor making him incredibly hard to fight. I'm sure one hit from Raremon's acid attack will wear it down till it's easier for you to do some damage" he said before releasing Raremon from his digivice.

The sludge digimon spits out a stream of acid towards the big dinosaur, causing him to roar in pain and stumble back a bit. BlackGuilmon quickly unleashes three fireballs at the weaken area, adding insult to injury. BlackTyrannomon fires a large fireball at the group but it narrowly misses them and hits the ground behind them.

"Even though Raremon weakened him, he's still quite strong. Time to test out how the card reader works" Kaito said as he search through his deck of cards. "This is good one. Hyper Wing Activate!" he called out, slashing a card through the slot in his digivice.

Suddenly, ten angel wings come out of BlackGuilmon's back and he flies up into the air. "So the cards only work on the original partner. Meaning any digimon I captured are just for back up" the brunet said before searching for another card to use. He then takes out a Power Boost card and a Tankmon card. "Raremon, I want you to attack his weak spot!" he ordered before slashing the two cards into his digivice.

Raremon rear back his head before spewing out a stream of acid at the same spot he hit earlier while BlackGuilmon grew a green cannon at his snout. "Finish him BlackGuilmon!" Kaito ordered and with a blast of the cannon, BlackTyrannomon was down and unable to fight. "You're mine now" he said before a flash of light came and the giant dinosaur was gone.

"That was a good job, you two" the brunet complimented his partners before returning Raremon back into his digivice. "Come on BlackGuilmon, mum's probably wondering why we're late for lunch" he said as he walks back home with his first partner. "I wonder what other things this digivice can do?" he mused while pressing a few buttons.

"Well it doesn't have anything here that I don't already know about" Kaito sighed after pressing a few button combinations. "I wonder if there are other Tamers out there like me. It'll be so cool to meet them" he mused, not noticing someone watching the duo in the distance.

"Interesting, he has special types of digimons" said a brunet man with a full black digivice wearing white mask with only eye holes, a black suit, pants, gloves and a matching cape that was red in the inside. "I'll have to pay closer attention to him" he said before turning around and walking away from the edge of the building he was standing on.
