Act 1 Act 1
Koushiro sat at his desk in his room, looking at two discs he had recently acquired. It was the Sburb client and server discs that Gennai had given him before he left the Digital World with his friends. It had been over a year since that day and since then a virus type digimon by the name of diablomon almost set off a nuke in the real world; that adventure nearly killed them. He thought things finally had the chance to calm down but all over the news was a story about a recent meteor strike, right on top of a house in the countryside. At least he could talk to his friends about this really quickly since he invented a way for them to communicate through their digivices. Koushiro thought this would help since Mimi is in America and everyone was recently busy because of finals. Summer was here at last so Koushiro thought it was the perfect time to distribute the Sburb game to everyone. Gennai gave him a warning when he gave him the discs, "Do not play alone. Play with your friends; but only play when meteors start to rain. Good luck."
Everyone in Japan had already received his or her copy of the two discs; According to Mimi her discs were set to arrive tomorrow, or today for him. She'd have to just catch up with them.
Suddenly, a noise came from Koushiro's digivice; a message was received. He walked over to his nightstand where he kept his digivice and read the message; it was Taichi asking about when they were going to play the game.
Conversation between Taichi and Koushiro (Open)
Taichi: Heeeyy, Koushiro, can we play the game yet? Come on, you're the one who sent us these discs!
Koushiro: I'm not sure yet, what's everyone else doing? Is Hikari with you?
Taichi: No, she's over at a friend's. She took her copies though.
Koushiro: Ok, and everyone else?
Taichi: Um, I think Yamato's over at his grandma's again. This time he brought his computer and digivice so he could talk with us and play. I think Joe's cramming through his summer homework… guy never takes a break, I swear. As far as everyone else, we know the situation with Mimi, they're just at home.
Koushiro: So we're ready to play at any time.
Taichi: yea
Taichi: Hey, you never told us how you got these discs in the first place.
Koushiro: Maybe later
Taichi: Come on!
Koushiro: I'm more interested in finding out about the game, but I know I should wait until we're all ready… but the meteors…
Taichi: Oh yea! I saw that on the news during breakfast! It's just one thing after another here, first the nuke and now this!
Koushiro: At least we knew how to stop the nuke; I'm not sure what is causing the meteors.
Taichi: Wait, there's more than one?
Koushiro: Yes…
Taichi: Oh, I guess I missed it. Mom made pancakes so I wasn't really paying attention.
Taichi: Oh, Yamato's contacting me, talk to you later. Hope we can play that game soon.
Koushiro: Heh, yea… soon.
Conversation between Taichi and Koushiro (Closed)
Taichi was sitting in his living room, having his conversation with Koushiro with once again no luck with getting him to play the game even though it was his idea. His copies of Sburb were sitting in a case on the table behind him. He sighed while looking back at them, "So much for playing them today, better see what Yamato wants…"
Conversation between Yamato and Taichi (Open)
Yamato: Hey, Taichi. This is working right?
Taichi: yea
Yamato: Good
Taichi: So what's up?
Yamato: I was just testing the connection out here
Taichi: Oh
Yamato: But I wanted to talk to you about the meteors
Taichi: You know about them too? This must be big
Yamato: I've been looking at the stories and all of the meteors land on houses, don't you find it strange?
Taichi: That… is a strange coincidence.
Yamato: No, something's telling me it's not a coincidence.
Taichi: ok… say it's not a coincidence, then what is it?
Yamato: I don't know, but something is causing it.
Taichi: ok…
Taichi: So, Yamato, what do you think of this game Koushiro sent us?
Yamato: I haven't played it, he did say we should play it together
Taichi: yea, yea I get that. I mean why do you think he sent us this game?
Yamato: I'm not sure, he seems like he wants to play it but… it's like he's waiting for something to happen.
Taichi: Like what?
Yamato: Can't you figure anything out for yourself? I'm not psychic!
Taichi: Ok, Ok, I get it, geez
Yamato: Sometimes you can be so dense
Taichi: And you can be rude.
Yamato: heh, anyway I was just testing the connection quickly. Grandma needs my help moving some things to the yard for a garage sale.
Taichi: Haha, good luck with that!
Yamato: Thanks…
Conversation Between Yamato and Taichi (Closed)
Later in the evening, Koushiro picked up the server disc; the disc with the spirograph. Meteors were certainly starting to rain down just as Gennai warned, could this be the time to play the game? He did tell Taichi that they'd play the game later. Well, now is later; he should play the game. Taichi was going to be annoyed and excited.
Conversation between Koushiro and Taichi (Open)
Koushiro: I've decided
Koushiro: We're playing
Taichi: Yes!
Taichi: I knew you'd crack!
Koushiro: Ok, the two of us can start. You set up the client and I'll be your server player.
Taichi: Ok… which disc is the client?
Koushiro: The one with the house on it.
Taichi took the discs and installed the client disc on his dad's computer. A control box popped up. Taichi raised an eyebrow, "What's this?"
Taichi: I just got a command thing… at least that's what I think it is.
Koushiro: Mine's almost loaded up
Koushiro: there we go, it's your apartment.
Taichi: Koushiro, what kind of game is this?
Koushiro: I… don't know
Taichi: hey! W-what's happening to my table?
In Taichi's apartment, Koushiro made the table float. Taichi heard the noise and went to investigate. He widened his eyes in surprise.
Koushiro: Prodigious! it's me… I can control your environment!
Taichi: You can control things in my house? I want to do that! Hold on I'll install the server disc
Koushiro: No, this is more complicated than it looks; you might not even enjoy being the server player.
Taichi: Are you kidding? Being able to control the stuff in your house would be boring? Then again you don't have that many interesting things it your house.
Koushiro: Just not interesting to you.
Koushiro: It looks like I can put some machines in your house… but there's not enough space for most of them. Maybe I can extend your environment too…
Koushiro extended the balcony to be well in front of the whole apartment.
Taichi: Was that you? Did you make my balcony bigger? I can see it from where my dad's computer is!
Koushiro: It was necessary, two of these machines are very big. There's enough room for them now.
Taichi: What about the other one?
Koushiro: I can just put that in the living room if I move the table.
Taichi: Go ahead and move the table.
Koushiro moved the table to the kitchen then deployed the Cruxtruder and Alchemiter on the balcony. He then deployed the Totem Lathe in the living room.
Taichi: Whow! Look at all these big machines!
Koushiro: There's one more thing I can deploy for free, it looks like a punch card.
Koushiro deployed the punch card near Taichi.
Taichi: It is! Hey, it has a picture of an orange nikuman* on it!
Koushiro: Could the goal be to produce the item on the punch card?
Taichi: I dunno, I think I'll go have a look at these big machines.
Taichi went onto the balcony, he was surprised that the machines didn't cause it to break and have them fall; yet. He was going to examine them further when something in the sky caught his eye. He got out his mini telescope and looked at it; a meteor! He gasped, he had to tell Koushiro about this!
Taichi: Koushiro! There's another meteor! And I think it's headed straight for me!
Koushiro: What? Just calm down, what did you see.
Taichi: Like I said, I saw a meteor that's headed straight for me!
Koushiro: Could these meteors be caused by this game? Then… everyone who plays this game is in trouble!
Taichi: Oh man! That means your next after me!
Koushiro: We can still make it trough this, maybe that item will prove to be a shield or an escape.
Taichi: I sure hope your right. But what do we make the item with? I saw the punch card could fit into the machine in the living room but all it did was put spike on the machine.
Koushiro: to carve something perhaps?
Koushiro: Try opening the machine with the wheel.
Taichi: I am, it's heavy! Drop the couch on it or something!
Koushiro: ok…
Koushiro picked up the couch and dropped it on the Cruxtuder, releasing the Kernalsprite and a column of cruxite. The countdown on the Cruxtruder was at 2:45 and counting down.
Taichi: What is that thing?!
Koushiro: Well we know it's a game construct.
Taichi: I know that! But it's fidgety and it makes some strange sounds! I want it gone!
Taichi: Hey, what's that stuff that came out with it?
Koushiro: hmm, try putting it on that machine in the living room, maybe that's what were' suppose to carve.
Taichi: Ok, but first I'm scaring this thing away! I'll let it taste my soccer ball!
Taichi kicked a soccer ball into the Kernalsprite, prototyping it. Taichi freaked out even more.
Taichi: It just ate my soccer ball! And now it won't shut up even more!
Koushiro: Taichi! Enough with that, that countdown is making me worried… I think it's counting down to when the meteor is going to hit your apartment!
Taichi: Shit! I'm so dead!
Koushiro: listen to me! Carve the totem and put it on the other machine! Do it now!
Taichi: Ok, ok! I'll do it! I want to live so I'll do it!
Taichi nervously watched as the Totem lathe carved the cruxite into a new shape. He then carried it to the mini platform on the Alchmiter and watched it produce an orange nikuman. Taicki picked up the nikuman and looked at the countdown; 30 seconds and now he could feel the heat of the meteor.
Taichi: Koushiro, if I die... Tell Hikari and my family I love them.
Taichi bit the nikuman and his apartment was enveloped by a flash of blue light; it disappeared just before the meteor struck and leveled the building.
Koushiro: TAICHI!
Koushiro: Taichi, please say your there. Oh this was a bad idea. I should have never listened to Gennai! Now you're dead!
Taichi: Um… I'm not dead…
Koushiro: Taichi!
Koushiro: Where are you?
Taichi: um… I was hoping you could tell me…
*Nikuman is a chinese steamed pork bun.
