Before I begin, just let me say that this is my first multi-chapter AATC story. Not just me though, BoredStupid is the co-writer. She has never published her written work, so please be gentle to her. That being said, let's get this show on the road. She writes the even numbered chapters, and I write the odd numbered ones.
Chapter one,
The Purgatory Begins
It was Alvin's birthday. He was very excited about it, too. Among the many gifts he got, the most important (for the plot of the story, anyway), was a game called "The Dark Tower." In the game, an evil wizard took over the town, and the player had to create a character to battle the Wizard and all of his many grunts and allies. The game wasn't super Violet, and it got positive reviews.
"All right," said Alvin, for he had wanted the game since he first saw the commercial for it. Once the celebrations were over, Alvin, Simon, Theo, plus the Chipettes went to play it. Each one of them made their own character, with the exception of Brittany, who called the game stupid without giving it a fair chance. With all characters made, Alvin, being the birthday munk, began to play the game. No sooner had he just taken three steps into the new world, after the impressive opening cinematic of the hero riding a horse into the forest, the screen went black as the night sky.
"Aw, nuts." Cried Alvin, "it's a bad copy." Simon tried to tell Alvin that they could probably take it back later, when a face appeared on the screen. The face itself was as black as sin, but meanwhile, its eyes were as red as blood, and the teeth were crooked and sun bleached. The face was smirking,
"So," it said, "you are the ones that got the cursed copy."
"Wow," said Jeanette, "these graphics are amazing, it's like we're looking at a real wizard."
"YOU ARE!" Shouted the face, and the next thing they knew, a huge hand shot out of the screen, and snatched Theo. Theo began to scream in fear. The hand dragged him through the screen, and he seemed to melt through it and INTO the game.
"I got your brother," said the face, "if you are foolhardy enough to come in and get him back, use this." A car looking object appeared in the room. Alvin saw a computer looking device on it, and began to fiddle with it. He had no luck entering in the codes.
"Move aside, Alvin," said Simon, shoving his brother away. Like he had been using the computer his whole life, he punched in a few codes, and the car purred to life. The others had no time to be amazed, as the five of them piled into the car. The car lifted up, and rocketed into the screen.
First chapter, short and sweet. Well, I hope you guys can handle this. Next up is BoredStupid. Again, please be merciful to her.
