Chapter 1: Digiport OPEN!

Do you believe in other dimensions?

At first, I was skeptical…Until, I was pulled into one and had to fight for survival; not just mine, but the safety of several dimensions in the process…

I guess I should start from the beginning. Hi! My name is Will. I'm a black guy. I have dark-brown eyes, and I like to keep by shoulder-length, dark-brown hair in cornrows. I'm about 6'6", and built like a basketball player. I lived in Norfolk, VA, and I lived an extremely boring life. Nothing happened of significance in my life; things were simple then, back when I lived in Chesapeake. I went to High School; I was a dedicated member of the Drama Club, as well as Chorus, and I wasn't the most popular kid in school, but I had a pretty good stable of friends. It was boring, but it was a good life.

Then one day…It was in my sophomore year of high school. A Saturday. I had just gotten yelled at for my grades not being up to the standards of my mother, and as usual, I had drowned her words out with my headphones. After World War III had stopped its weekly bombing, and I figured the coast was clear, I sought refuge in one of my most prized possessions: my computer.

As the monitor's warm glow bathed over me, I began to daydream. I daydreamed about the same things I always thought about. The possibilities of the infamous question, "What If…?"

"What if I did better in school?"

"What if I didn't have school to go to?"

"What if I could just up and leave? You know, just get as far away as possible?"

I pushed those thoughts aside, and turned on the TV that was next to the computer and began to flip through channels. I happened to stop on Digimon. I admit, I was a little too old to watch the show, and I would be teased to no end if word got out at school, but I didn't care. I enjoyed it. I had watched all four seasons, but hadn't seen parts of the fourth season, because those episodes came on as I was getting ready for school. As I watched, my mind began to wander again.

"What if I could go to the Digital World? And have all kinds of adventures?"

I turned on my music program, and closed my eyes as I thought of the possibilities, like what partner Digimon I would want, or what season I loved more. I had become oblivious of my computer, or rather, what was coming out of it.

A sharp screech forced my eyes to snap open, and I almost screamed when I noticed what my computer had produced. Floating in front of my monitor (YES FLOATING), was a Digivice. The body was Silver, and the grips on it were a crimson red. I sat there, open-mouthed at what had just happened.

"Take your D-Tector," a woman's voice said through my headphones. I had almost jumped out of my skin when I heard the voice.

"Who said that?" I demanded, looking around frantically.

"I did."

"And who are you?"

"Just call me…a friend"

"Okay, friend, why is there a Digivice in front of me, and how are you talking to me through my computer?"

The disembodied voice laughed. "I thought you would ask me how time stopped…"

I blinked. I began looking around again, and sure enough, the voice was right. My TV had stopped in mid-commercial, a robin, which had been flying by my window, had also stopped. It was as if the voice had paused everything with TiVo.

"…How the hell did you do that?" I asked, now scared out of my wits.

"I can do so much more than that." She replied. "This was just a demonstration meant to get your attention."

A voice in my mind screamed, "Run you jackass! Disembodied voices, time stopping, why have you not ran yet?"

Even if I did run, couldn't she just stop me like the rest of time? I replied to myself. Or just keep rewinding time until I stop running?

...Good point.

"So are you going to take the D-Tector and accept your destiny?" the voice asked.

Don't trust her, Will.

I think I can. I don't sense any bad intentions from her.

How can you? It's a DISEMBODIED voice! You can't see her, so how can you pick up on anything?

…Good point.

"Well?" she asked.

After a few more seconds of hesitation, I quickly grabbed the digivice floating before me.

"You chose well, Will"

My computer monitor flashed with a blinding light. I would've shielded my eyes, except I was being sucked into the computer…
