The Battle Begins
0000
"Hey, Suneku, maybe you should start taking your Modify Cards to school. The two of us have been sensing something strange and want to be better safe than sorry."
Knowing that they were probably right, he picked up his Deck Case along with his D-phone and headed off.
Even though it was strange, many schools had transfers around the middle of the term and one of those transfers was Matthew Richards, or as his friends called him, 'Matt'. Walking into class late, he introduced himself and sat in the empty chair at the front of the class next to Kia who smiled warmly at him.
When that class ended, Suneku and Kai decided to get a snack and, not knowing his way around the school, Matt asked if he could join them to which they gladly accepted. After their Pringles were gone, the three boys started chatting and joking about the taste which somehow led to them discussing Digimon. After about five minutes of stating the advantages and disadvantages of some Digimon, from both Kia's and Matt's pockets, they heard a yelled, synchronized, 'HEY!' in annoyance. After that, the two of them had reluctantly agreed that one of the strongest Digimon was Megidramon.
Taking out their D-phones, Suneku took a good look at the dark purple colour and the Digimon that resided inside; it was a grey feline-rabbit hybrid with a white stomach and three long claws on each of its arms. Even though it was a quadruped by nature it was standing comfortably on its back legs as if bipedal. About three more periods passed by before the fire alarm went off and everyone ran outside of the school. However, Suneku's partners had other plans which led him to the school computer lab and, to his surprise, it was inhabited by nothing but an animated candle with wax arms and two faces, one on the actual candle while the other sat on the flame resting above the main body. Staring on in shock, Patamon was heard from his hand, "Get a grip Suneku, reload US!"
Trying to clear his head, he did not quite understand, which earned him an annoyed look from Demi who replied by telling him to point the D-phone out and shout 'reload'. After doing that, all of the computers started glowing and a black and white ball appeared in front of Suneku and out of it came his two partners.

Outside of the school, Kia wandered around looking for his friend with a worried look on his face. Taking out his D-phone, he looked at Black Agumon and realized that the lizard seemed to be on edge, sniffing the air and his normally round pupils were slits. After he noticed his Tamer staring at him, looking worried, the black Digimon returned to his normal state, but not before confusing the boy with a statement of, "There's a Digimon nearby, and not just one." This earned him a confused look from both Kia and Matt, the latter of which took out his own D-phone and received the same treatment from his partner which he addressed as Gazimon. After that, the two Digimon pointed to the school and, for the second time, synchronized, saying, 'There'.
Nodding to each other, they ran back into the school and, following the directions provided by their partners, they ended up in the computer lab. Seeing them enter, Suneku tried to get them to leave. However, they refused as they both said that they could help Patamon and Demidevimon fight against the Candlemon as Kia called him. Suneku was trying to figure out what to do to give his Digimon the upperhand.
Breaking the silence, the candle started laughing like a maniac and extended his arm after shouting, "Melted Wax!" A stream of white wax came erupting from his hand. While avoiding the brunt of the attack, Demi and Pat still got struck on the tips of each wing and unfortunately, the wax hardened on contact, so it became very difficult to fly. Seeing this, Kia handed him a System Crash Card which he gratefully used. The wax on their wings disappeared and suddenly, Candlemon was much slower than before, which gave the flying Digimon the edge they needed. Patamon started expanding before shooting out a burst of air while shouting, "Boom Bubble!"
As soon as the air made contact, Demidevimon materialized an oversized syringe and chucked it at the floored candle while the announcing the name of the attack; "Demi Dart!" However, instead of the dart draining energy, Candlemon seemed to get stronger before the screens on every computer in the room started glowing a dim blue light. He was encased by the same black orb as Vi-Elecmon had before shouting out, "Candlemon dark Digivolve to…. MERAMON!"
Bursting out of the orb was a man covered in flames and a stitched mouth. While Candlemon had a childish and high(ish) pitch voice, Meramon's was very deep and commanding voice, which was made even more evident when he spoke to them. "Oh, it is so good to be back in my true form. I hate having to compress my data like that! So, now it's time to take care of you little pests and give my findings to the master."
Scowling up at the living flame, the two came in and tried to use their wing attacks to damage him but just got singed as soon as they made contact. While his partners charged at Meramon who effortlessly swatted them away, Suneku showed the other two boys how to reload their partners. However, Meramon simply pointed his palm and launched his Roaring Fire attack, bathing almost everything in his flames besides the boys who ran out of the room just in time. Looking at his D-phone Kia pressed down on the button and the following information appeared under a picture of Meramon:
Name: Meramon
Level: Champion
Type: Data
Attacks: Fire Ball, Roaring Fire, Fire Fist, Magma Blast, Fire Wave.
As a Digimon born out of the 'Firewall', it is known to protect things such as the internet from illegal entries. However, this Meramon has an anomaly in its core data. It possesses a violent temperament like the flames that wrap around its body and tries to burn everything that it touches. It has a stronger fire power than the same species that is found on File Island and taming this Digimon is very difficult. As a result, even if it is tamed, you will never know when/if it will bear its fangs. Its weakness is water and its name and design are derived from the onomatopoeia for burning (meramera).
Showing them the scan, all of them were wondering what it meant by anomaly. However, they didn't have much time to think as their partners flew through the door. All of them slashed a different Card to restore the energy of the Digimon before running over to them and checking to make sure that they were OK. Gazimon was the first to stand up straight and start charging at the burning Digimon, taking out a Card depicting a snow man punching the air. Matt slashed it while calling out, "Digi-Modify Frigimon, activate!"
Gaining a cool mist around his fist, the rookie shouted out, "Sub-Zero Ice Punch!" and started throwing punches like a professional boxer before jumping to the side. Doing that revealed Black Agumon putting his claws together as he started to shoot a stream of ice cold water at Meramon after feeling a familiar surge of energy while he shouted out, "Hydro Pressure!"
Screaming out in agony, Meramon dissipated into red particles which was in turn absorbed by all of the Digimon. After trying and succeeding to reload the Digimon back into the D-phones, Kia received a pop up saying that he has received a Meramon Mercenary and under a picture of the flame patterned egg were two options; the first was to keep and the second was to sell to the system. Showing the pop up to the other two, Matt and Kia realized that was exactly what would happen if they got the egg in Digimon Masters. Pressing the sell button, data flew out of his phone into the only non crispy computer. Agreeing that that was very weird, the three of them thought it best to leave the area before getting stopped by Pat and Demi telling Suneku that they should erase the security cameras. Walking in the direction of the office the three seemed to not notice the small flame that was in the lab.

Sitting down in a dark room, a young boy about the age of eight plugged in a yellow D-phone and took the quiz to get a partner Digimon. Ten minutes later, he finally clicked the finish button and received a familiar looking candle on his screen.

Walking home, Kia stated what would be considered the elephant in the room, "So, I'm thinking that you didn't find that D-phone of yours on the street, Kaba." Nodding, he explained to the three of them what had transpired the day before in his room which in response prompted Patamon and Demidevimon to tell them their side of the story.

Coming home a little later than usual Suneku was viciously hugged by his mother. She was crying and had been munbling about being woried about him and how she had heard about the fire at his school. After embracing and soothing misses Arakaba he looked over her sholder onto the tv which was switched onto BBC the volume seemed to be muted he read the text which just repeated "School nearly burn to the ground. Students report seeing a living candle come out of a computer!"
