Spike's Adventure through the Digital World (Dusk Edition)

Spike had been helping out Digimon who needed favors done. Helping Digimon was just part of the job as a Tamer. He decided to go back to Tamer Home to Digiconvert the Chionmon data he'd collected at Sunken Tunnel. Chionmon was a Champion level Digimon, so he'd be helpful to have, even if it was in his reserves. When he had finished creating his Chionmon, he headed back to Dark Center and heard Piedmon, "Spike! We've got a Union request. Head over to see your sister in the Union Room."

Spike sighed, but it was just part of the job. He headed to the Union Room and Twilight addressed him, "Spike, a new Digi-Area has come online. I'd like you, Buff Biceps, and Time Turner to head and take a look around there."

Time Turner tipped his hat, "No problem chief. But are you sure Spike is ready to go there? I've heard there's a lot of tough Digimon, and Spike's still a Normal Rank Tamer, me and Buff Biceps are Bronze Rank."

Twilight nodded, "Yes, I'm sure. Spike needs more experience with the new Digi-Areas."

Spike smiled, "Thanks sis. I'll do my best." and headed out towards Dark Gate. When he got to Dark Terminal, he heard a voice cackling, and it was the same cackle as the strange mass of energy had.

A voice spoke in his head, "Come Spike, come to Limit Valley. I want to push you beyond your limits, to see if you can tap into your true power. I'll be waiting."

Spike shook his head and sighed, "What's up with that guy? Who is he, and how does he know so much about me?" He continued on his way through Limit Valley.

When Spike made his way to the end of the valley, the energy mass was waiting for him. "Ah, so you're here. I believe it's time I explain who I am, and who you are." The energy exploded into a large Digimon, "My name is Grimmon, and you Spike, were an experiment I worked on years ago. I knew humans were helpful towards Digimon. 20 years ago, I collected human DNA, along with a small portion of Draconian DNA. The Draconians were a race of proud and powerful warriors. I saw potential in using their DNA in the experiment. Finally, I used my own Digital DNA Data. So, you are my son, my own flesh and blood. I created you 20 years ago, but it took 2 years for your form to develop enough that I could send you into the real world."

Spike was shocked at what Grimmon was saying, "No... that's a lie! I can't be... a Digimon! That's not possible!"

Grimmon chuckled, "I expected such a reaction. I'll prove it to you!" he roared loudly, and sent a beam of energy at Spike, which enveloped him, causing him to glow.

Spike looked at his hands, his whole body was glowing, just like a Digimon that was about to Digivolve. As the light enveloped his body, he grew purple and green scales, his nails turned into claws, his teeth became much sharper, and he grew a lizard like tail. When the light faded, Spike looked at himself and said, "S-So it's true... I really am a Digimon..."

Grimmon nodded, "Yes, and since you are my son, you will join me as we rule the Digital World, together as father and son!"

Spike spit in Grimmon's direction, "Like hell I will! A father who abandons his only son for 18 years, just for the sake of an experiment? I'll have no such father! If I really am a Digimon, than I can still fight you!"

Sangloupmon and Chionmon came out of their Digi-Cards, and said, "We're with you boss!"

Grimmon growled, "Very well. I see you will not be swayed. It's truly a shame, but if you will not join me, you will die! I don't accept any resistance, even from my own son!" before swinging his tail at his son and his Digimon.

Sangloupmon and Spike jumped out of the way while Chionmon went into his igloo shell to avoid damage. Spike felt instinct overcome him, "Needle Fang!" his already sharp teeth grew longer as he bit into Grimmon's arm, causing lots of damage.

As Grimmon was being overpowered, he growled, "Damn it! It seems I underestimated you my son. For now, I leave. But remember, a piece of me will always be inside you!" before disappearing

Time Turner and Buff Biceps had just seen the end of the battle, and Time Turner asked, "S-Spike? Is that you?"

As Spike turned to see the Bronze Tamers, he went back to his human form, proving that it was him, "Yeah, it's me... apparently that Digimon... he's... he's my father... I'm part Digimon, and I guess I just went into my Rookie form."

Buff Biceps was confused yet amazed at the same time, "That's wicked Spike! What are you going to call your Rookie form?"

Spike never thought of that, he'd been so wrapped up in the battle, he didn't even think of giving his Rookie form a name, "How about... Magidramon?"

Time Turner smiled, "It's got a nice ring to it. For now, let's head back to Twilight and tell her about this."

When Spike had returned to Twilight, a look of sorrow was in Twilight's eyes, "Spike... I'm sorry. I knew you were part Digimon since the Normal Rank Tournament, when I got the blood test results. I'm sorry I lied to you, but I wasn't sure how to tell you."

Spike hugged his sister and said, "It's fine sis. It's not something easy to accept, but Grimmon is my father. Still, I hold no loyalty to a father who abandoned his only son for 18 years. My loyalty remains to Night Claw, and it always will."

Time Turner cleared his throat, "Sorry to interrupt, but we've still got problems to deal with. Grimmon doesn't seem like the type who would give up on having Spike join him that easily. I have a feeling this isn't the last time we'll see him."

Spike nodded, "Time Turner's right, Grimmon will return for me, and we'll have to be ready."

Twilight smiled, "We will be. Spike, do you know if you can tap into your Rookie form?"

Spike sighed, "I'm not sure, Grimmon activated it, and after the fight, I turned back to normal. But I will need to learn control over my Digimon form if I want to beat Grimmon. I'll start training as soon as possible."

Twilight nodded, "Good idea Spike. And remember, human or not, you're still my brother, and you always will be."
