Will was never a popular kid at school. Junior High was never kind to him in the friends department. Being the soft spoken gentleman he was, he had attained many allies in almost every niche in school. He only had three people that he truly called friends; The bashful Platinum, rich but humble Soul, and the rash and hotheaded Viral. But there was one more friend Will had. The kind and thoughtful Spade.
Spade was a careful and fun person, and the only human besides Will's mother that knew about Digimon when Will first met Gigimon. He was always someone that Will could trust. Unfortunately, Spade ended up moving to Chicago for several months because of his father's job.
But, as fate would have it, Spade returned on the night of the Ikkakumon incident. Will was elated, and welcomed his friend with open arms.
Spade had light gray hair and striking yellow eyes. He usually wore a green shirt and purple pants that reached just past his knees.
He was an interesting friend to say the least, but he was a friend that Will was happy to have back in his life. Will shared all of his adventures and discoveries he had made while he was gone. Spade always listened intently to Will's stories, eyes as big as saucers.
…
About a week and several minor Digimon attacks after his arrival, Spade came over to Will's house as dusk began. He seemed out of character, a bit jumpy and irritable.
"What's up, buddy?" Will asked his friend as he entered the room.
"Not sure. I just feel irritated." Spade answered.
BlackGuilmon and Dracomon were playing video games at the TV. Dracomon whooped as he defeated Blacky on screen.
Will and Ranamon were at the computer. Spade joined them.
"Ikkakumon sure is happy. Perhaps we should get some friends one of these days." Ranamon said to Will.
"Perhaps." Will said as he looked out the window to see the sun begin to set. "How come you came so late?" He said to Spade.
Spade scratched his head. "Um, no reason. Don't worry. I'll just tell my parents I'll sleep over."
Suddenly, the computer monitor started to beep.
"A new Digimon. Blacky! Ranamon! You guys come with me!" He turned to Spade. "You know the drill."
"But I always stay behind! Let me come this time!" Spade pleaded.
Will's eyes twitched. "Okay... Just don't be a bother."
...
The streets were as busy as ever, even at night. The sidewalks, however were empty, so no one had noticed the mysterious light shining from behind the local candy store.
A portal appeared, and a strange new Digimon emerged. It was a tall and slender man, dressed in elegant blue clothing and a red and black cape. He had pale white skin and blonde hair. He also wore a red mask in the shape of a bat over his blue eyes.
"I'm here..." He said. "Now to find what I came here for."
The back door to the candy store flew open and a old man walked out with a garbage can, which he placed outside of the door. He saw the Digimon and motioned him inside.
"Hello. Would you care for a sample or two?" The old man said.
The Digimon was confused by this but went inside anyway.
The old man shuffled into the kitchen and then returned with a bowl of candy. "Here." he said.
The Digimon took the bowl and picked up a candy. "Is this human food?" he asked.
"Of course!" The old man replied. On closer inspection, the Digimon realized that the old man was squinting. He has bad eyesight, he thought.
"You sure are tall, mister." The man said. "What's your name?"
The Digimon stuck a candy into his mouth. "I am known as Myotismon."
...
Will and Spade had made it into the city to find the rouge Digimon. The two had were about reach their destination, when the D-Wrist rang.
"Another Digimon! Unreal!" Will cried, "Reload, BlackGuilmon!" Blacky appeared in a burst of data.
"Spade, you go past this corner and find the Digimon. I'll take Ranamon to find the new one." Will ran the opposite direction, leaving Blacky and Spade to find the first mystery Digimon.
Blacky sniffed out the Digital Monster in a local candy shop. "I know this place!" Blacky barked, "Will brought candy for me from this place when he came from school sometimes."
"I guess this Digimon has a bit of a sweet tooth." Spade murmured as he and the dark dragon entered the store.
...
"What are these delicious things called, good sir?" Myotismon cried as he dropped yet another candy in his mouth.
"Butterscotch. Its my bestseller." The old man replied.
"Well, I thank you for this wonderful delicacy!" Myotismon praised the old candy maker. He was about to eat another when Myotismon noticed a strange scent. He turned around a saw a young boy and a black Digimon eying him.
"Uh-oh..." Will and Blacky said together.
Myotismon smirked, "It seems we have company, old man."
"Oh really, Myo-boy?" The man said, "Perhaps they want some candy for a late night snack!"
"Crimson Lightning!" Myotismon created a red whip in his hand and grabbed the two spies.
"Pyro Grenade!" Blacky blasted a fireball at Myotismon, who blocked it with his hand.
"Fool!" Myotismon cackled, "I'm an Ultimate Level Digimon! I'm too much for you!"
"Let the boy go! He's not a tamer, so he doesn't have to be here!" Blacky pleaded with the Undead Digimon.
"What?" Myotismon said with confusion. "But why would you be with a normal child, unless..."
"Unless nothing! You pawn of Mileniummon!" Blacky growled. He blasted through the red whip surround himself and Spade and lunged at Myotismon, who preceded to slap the dragon into the nearest wall.
"BlackGuilmon!" Spade cried as he ran to Blacky's side. Myotismon then grabbed the boy by the collar.
"Hm. Tell me, boy. What's your name?" The undead Digimon asked.
"I shouldn't be socializing with evil Digimon like you..." Spade said quietly.
Myotismon smirked, "Now who said I was evil? I know I didn't. That was self defense. But I've been looking for a human like you for quite some time." The mysterious Digimon reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a strange watch. It was mostly white in color, except the green ring in the center surrounding a screen.
"Put this on." Myotismon commanded. Spade looked at the strikingly familiar watch and hesitantly clipped it around his wrist. It sparkled with a brilliant light.
"Ah! It does belong with you!" Myotismon chuckled, "It looks as though you still need a partner, however. Maybe one of the Digimon that emerge from the Digital World could be sufficient-" Myotismon stopped mid-sentence when Spade's new D-Wrist consumed him with green light. The D-Wrist beeped and the light stopped.
"I-I'm your partner?" Myotismon's pupils shrunk. "I..."
The old candy maker murmured, "Myo-boy, is something up?"
"Um, no. I'll have to be going now." Myotismon choked.
The blind man smiled, "Come back anytime! I'll have many samples for you!"
...
"Rain Stream!" Ranamon commanded blasts of water the strange Digimon that was ransacking all the garbage cans in a ten block radius. The Digimon was odd. Mustard yellow skin and the body in the shape of... excrement? Its crazy eyes darted about wildly as it dodged the blast of water. It had long arms and bony fingers, and a huge gaping mouth.
"Gross!" Ranamon cried, "Sukamon are so nasty!"
Sukamon materialized a piece of pink... sludge...
"Poop Throw!" Sukamon cried as he threw the poop at the opposing Digimon. Ranamon had not realized the attack was coming and was hit directly in the face. She passed out instantly.
"Ranamon! " Will called out to the humanoid Digimon.
"Smash!" Sukamon bashed into Will at surprising speeds and knocked him away from his Digimon. Sukamon raised his hand to attack Will again.
"Virus Breath!" Blacky jumped onto Sukamon and blew black flames in its face. Sukamon screamed in pain and backed away.
"You okay?" Blacky pulled Will on his feet.
Will nodded, "Yeah. But Ranamon..." The tamer pointed.
Black grimaced. "Gross."
Will picked the Aquan Digimon up, "I'll get her to safety. You go and kick ass." Will smacked his D-Wrist, causing Blacky to grow.
"BlackGuilmon Digivolve to... BlackGrowlmon!" The dark dragon roared as he transformed. Blacky lunged at Sukamon, who was still suffering from the effects of Virus Breath, and threw him into a building.
Sukamon growled and opened his mouth. "Poop Bomber!" He shot blobs of gunk from his mouth, hitting Blacky in the eyes. The black Digimon cried out in pain as he was rammed in the stomach by Sukamon.
…
Spade and Myotismon raced in the direction where BlackGuilmon had ran. Spade's D-Wrist glowed and activated a map pointing to another D-Wrist signal, most likely Will's.
Myotismon scoffed, "Let's get things straight here. You won't be bossing me around like a pet. I'm grade-A demon king here. You should be privileged to have me!"
"And I am!" Spade answered, "Will always told me that a Digimon wasn't a lesser being, but an equal partner! I would never treat you as anything less than an equal."
Myotismon continued to run with Spade, the only sounds they made were the taps of their shoes on the pavement. The moon shone high in the sky, yet the stars were invisible due to the well lit city.
"We have to help my friends. They might be in trouble." Spade turned his partner. "I've yet to learn your name. I'm known as Spade."
The undead king smiled, "Myotismon."
"Like the bat?" Spade asked. Myotismon nodded. The duo grew silent again as the continued through the streets.
"Why did you have my D-Wrist?" Spade said finally.
Myotismon's eyes narrowed. "It was given to me by a strange Digimon back in the Digital World. He said I was destined to find the human it belonged to and his Digimon partner. Never expected it was I who was the partner..."
The two were running past an electronics store when something caught their attention. A news report on one of the televisions in the store.
"Breaking news. Another monster attack was reported downtown." Pictures flashed across the screen. "Witnesses report a large black dinosaur is battling... What appears to be... living fecal matter. More information when it is reported."
Myotismon blinked, "I suggest we head downtown."
...
"Dark Blade!" BlackGrowlmon slashed at Sukamon, who was dodging with incredible speed. Will and the unconscious Ranamon were taking refuge in a nearby snack shop. The customers seemed skeptical.
"Is that boy with these monsters?" A woman asked.
"That girl is blue? What is she?" A man pondered.
"Why are they so stinky?" A young child held his nose.
Will turned to the shop owner. "Sir, can you look after this little one for me. If she comes to, don't let her leave here." The man nodded. Will then raced outside into the fray.
"Attack with Dark Blade at the ground!" Will called. Blacky slashed at the ground, causing the ground to crumble under Sukamon. The yellow Digimon jumped into the air, just as Will had hoped.
"Attack!" Will pointed to the air.
"Black Exhaust Flame!" Blacky blasted Sukamon with fire, causing it to cry out and then pass out.
Will caught up with his partner. "That was difficult. Take him out." Blacky charged his Dark Blade attack.
Suddenly, Sukamon jumped up and shot gunk at Will, who blocked it with his arm. Unfortunately, Will's D-Wrist was covered in goo and began to spark. Light poured out of the watch, showering Sukamon in it.
"What?" Will shouted as he saw Sukamon transform.
"Sukamon Digivolve to..." The Digimon turned into a large monkey like creature covered in stitches. He wore a pair of sunglasses and a stuffed bear doll on its waist. He sang at the top of his voice, "Etemon!"
"Holy crap." Will said in horror.
"You thought I was a threat before?" Etemon jeered, "You haven't seen anything yet!" Etemon created a ball of black energy. "Dark Network!" He blasted Blacky away.
"How is this possible?" Will ran to his partner.
Etemon growled in glee. "I'm an Ultimate Level Digimon now! I'm much more powerful now!"
"And talkative. Shut up." Blacky groaned.
"Grisly Wing!" A flurry of bats attacked Etemon suddenly. He swatted the bats away and suddenly came face to face with a new challenger.
"Myotismon, be careful." Spade called. Myotismon nodded.
"Now, are you ready to fight a real Ultimate Digimon?" Myotismon prodded.
Etemon pulled a microphone from seemingly nowhere. "Concert Crusher!" Etemon screamed into the microphone, sending shock-waves at Myotismon, pushing him back.
"You call that an attack?" Myotismon continued to make fun of the Puppet Digimon. "I find it annoying."
Etemon yelled in anger, "Shut up! Dark Network!" Etemon threw another ball of energy. Myotismon deflected it with ease.
"This is tiresome." The undead Digimon raised his hands. "Grisly Wing!" A swarm of bats flee out of Myotismon's cape. They attacked Etemon once again.
"Nightmare Claw!" A ghost-like haze flew out of Myotismon's sleeve and covered Etemon in its dark smoke. Etemon's body froze.
"What! No!" Etemon screamed.
Myotismon licked his lips. "Crimson Lightning!" Myotismon's red whip wrapped around the opponent Digimon. He squeezed him hard, and caused the puppet Digimon to burst into bits of data. Spade's D-Wrist sucked the data inside of it.
"Points Collected." The D-Wrist chimed.
Spade and Myotismon gave each other a high five.
BlackGrowlmon degenerated. "Why do we keep getting saved by other tamers?" He said as he transformed back into BlackGuilmon.
Will checked his D-Wrist. Apart from some goo, it seemed okay. Will was still unsure of the reason why it caused Sukamon to Digivolve.
"Will," Spade tapped his friend's shoulder. "You okay?"
Will nodded, "Oh yeah. So this is your Digimon?"
Myotismon bowed, "Myotismon, at your service."
"He's my partner. D-Wrist and everything." Spade showed off his new Digivice.
Will yawned, "Cool. Let's go home. I'm beat."
Suddenly, cop cars and armored trucks swarmed the area. Police officers exited the vehicles, guns loaded.
"Step away from the creatures and put your hands on your heads!" A officer barked into a megaphone.
Will, Spade, Blacky, and Myotismon were completely surrounded.
"We're boned." Spade whimpered.
"In the ass." Will bit his lip.
Myotismon whispered, "That sounds very painful."
"I've watched enough prison movies with Will to know that it really does." Blacky growled.
