Will and Spade grimaced at their awkward situation. They were at a police station interrogation room with several police officers eying them as if they were dangerous criminals. Their Digimon stood to the side, handcuffed and miserable. Thankfully, before Will was arrested, he was able to get Ranamon back into his D-Wrist. She may be weakened from the Sukamon attack, but she'd still be more than enough to disable the guards if the situation got violent.

Myotismon hissed in Blacky's ear. "What are we doing? We should be busting out of these handcuffs and getting out of here with the boys. Do they really think flimsy metal can hold us? Let's take action!"

Blacky shook his head. He pointed a claw at the officers, who had guns at the ready.

"They have guns. We may not get hurt by bullets, but our tamers do. I learned this on a TV show. We must watch and wait for our perfect opportunity."

Myotismon shrugged, "I suppose..."

A new police officer entered the room. He was big and had dark hair and cold eyes.

"Hello. My name is Officer Nathan Ord." he said with a strong voice. "I suppose you both are wondering why you're here."

Will shook his head, "You want to know what the deal is with all the weird creatures running around."

The officer twitched, and then nodded. "What is your connection with these monsters, son?" he asked Spade.

"Um, actually, I'm just getting into this ordeal. Ask him." Spade passed the buck to Will.

Will sighed. "We are doing what you are doing: Protecting the city from these creatures."

Officer Ord slammed his hands on the table in front of him. "Then why are you working with these creatures?" He pointed at Blacky and Myotismon. "How do I know you aren't the ones letting these things loose?"

The officer motioned another man to bring in a laptop. He then opened a video file. It was footage of some of the battles Will and friends had fought in.

"You have been in all of these skirmishes. We found footage of them all!" The man yelled.

"Yes, but notice that it's my Digimon that defeats the ones that are rampaging. Then we leave without a fuss."

"I guess..." The man muttered.

Will cleared his throat. "Perhaps we got off on the wrong foot. My name's Will Exis. This is my friend, Spade Decker." He then pointed to their Digimon. "And those monsters are BlackGuilmon and Myotismon. Our partners. They help us find these bad Digimon and defeat them."

"Digimon? That's what they're called..." Ord murmured.

"Our Digimon listen to us and protect us and the innocent." Spade chimed in. "We are trying to save the two worlds from being destroyed."

"Two worlds?" Ord said, "Explain."

Will cleared his throat. "The Real World and the Digital World, the place the Digimon come from, are going out of whack. We are here to balance the two worlds."

Ord stiffed a laugh. "You? Children?"

Spade twirled his fingers. "We may be children, but who has the Digimon partners that are most likely more powerful than all of the government's armored tanks combined?"

Officer Ord grew silent.

"Can we go now?" Will asked.

"I'm not sure if I believe you..." Ord muttered. He turned to his laptop. "I need to run background checks on you..."

Sparks flew out of the computer suddenly. The screen flashed colors randomly. Ord backed away.

"What the hell?" Ord cried.

"A Digimon! Here?" Spade yelped.

"Blacky!" Will called. BlackGuilmon nodded to his tamer and broke his handcuffs.

"Now it's time for action!" Blacky said to Myotismon who, in response, broke free from his own cuffs and made way to the computer screen.

The laptop exploded, blanketing the room with smoke. As the haze cleared, a new Digimon could be seen. It was like a dog, but looked like a cartoon. It was an orange-yellow color, and had a long lolling tongue. He had strange eyes and panted heavily, which sounded like snickering somewhat.

Will scanned it with his D-Wrist. " Doggymon. Champion Level. Data-Type. Puppet Digimon. Moves are Distem Howling and Ultra Kamitsuki."

Blacky scoffed. "Data Type? No problem!" He lunged at the Doggymon, who looked a bit confused.

Doggymon yelped as Blacky landed on him. It thrashed about in fear as Blacky attempted to subdue it.

" Distem Howling!" Doggymon howled in Blacky's face. Blacky was thrown off as Doggymon tried to run off.

Myotismon grabbed the little Digimon. "He seems scared." He said, "Perhaps he's one of the docile ones that came here on accident."

Spade petted Doggymon on the head. "It's okay, little one. We're all friends here." Doggymon began to calm as Spade scratched behind his ear.

"I thought you said that you defeat the Digimon that come here!" Officer Ord piped up. "What gives?"

"Some Digimon are nice and come here on accident. We find them and get them to a good home." Will stated to the man. "We protect both humans and Digimon. We're not monsters."

Doggymon jumped on Ord suddenly. "Get him off me!" The officer yelled. Doggymon proceeded to lick Ord's face. The officer then began to laugh.

"This Doggymon sure likes you." Spade chuckled. "Perhaps he could stay here and protect the station from nearby Digimon!"

"That's not a bad idea, Spade!" Will said, "Would you have him, Officer Ord?"

Ord patted Doggymon's back. "I guess. This little guy is pretty cool, if I do say so." Ord then looked away. "I'll give you kids and your friends clearance to do what you do, as long as you do me a favor."

"We're listening." Blacky growled.

"If any of you kids with Digimon partners do anything to purposely harm innocent citizens, I'm shutting you down."

"No problem." Will and Spade said together. Blacky and Myotismon nodded.

"Then you can be on your way." Ord motioned them out the door. "And try to get these Digimon under control."

...

"So this is a friend of yours, Spade?" Spade's mother, Sonya asked her son. She had dull brown hair and light yellow eyes like her son. She was wearing a light blue sundress when her son came to her the next morning when she was resting on the front porch of her house. Will and Blacky were with Spade for support.

"He's very well-mannered." Spade replied, "Myotismon could help around the house. Right, Myotismon?"

"Of course. I'm very good at housework. I have a castle back in the Digital World, ya know!" Myotismon answered.

Will cleared his throat. "Don't worry, Mrs. Decker, I'll protect Spade if things get difficult with wild Digimon."

Sonya looked down. "It still feels dangerous. Just promise to be careful, okay?" She then turned to Myotismon. "And you have to promise me you'll protect my boy as well."

The Virus Digimon nodded, "Of course."

"Okay. Now go on and get." Spade's mother waved them goodbye.

The Tamers were about to go inside when they discovered a serious problem: Myotismon was much to tall for the doorway into Spade house.

"No worries." Spade activated his D-Wrist and turned the ring in the center.

"I didn't know you were so observant." Will said.

"I learned everything about this thing from studying you." Spade admitted. He then pushed the ring down. "Myotismon, Degenerate."

Myotismon glowed, transforming into a small blue creature. It was shaped like a bat and wore a blue mask over its yellow eyes.

"A DemiDevimon." Blacky said, "I remember the time we fought one..."

"No time for memories." Will cut his Digimon off. "We have work to do. I haven't eaten since yesterday. Let's raid the kitchen."

Spade nodded. DemiDevimon's eyes widened. "Will there be butterscotch?" He asked with pleading eyes.

...

Miles away from our heroes, a young boy was crying behind some bushes in his local park. He felt so scared for his life since the neighborhood bullies kept harassing him every time he went outside. His father wanted him to stand up for himself and refused to help him, while his mother was powerless to do anything since the lead bully was the son of her employer, who was just as much of a bully as her son.

He was so alone in life. He just wished he could die...

A watch fell on his head. He looked up, thinking it was another bully teasing him. He instead found a big floating gear in front of him. He had mechanical, red eyes and held two smaller gears at his sides.

"Pick up the watch." The gear said. The boy obeyed.

"You want to get revenge?" The gear monster asked. The boy nodded, tears still running down his face.

The monster giggled. "My name is Hagurumon, and I can help you get revenge, partner."
