This story may seem familiar to you. The first two chapters are the same as my first story "Digimon: Origins" which has been changed because I didn't like where that one was heading. So I changed the chapters a bit, and added more to them so I hope you enjoy. Between school work and real life, updates may be slow, but I am going to do the best I can. Please R and R. Thank you.

Chapter 1: The Day It All Changed

Takuma looked towards his clock to see a bright green 8:27 flashing back at him. "Crap! I am going to be late for school! Ms. Okisha is going to get so mad. And on the day of the unit test too, just my luck." Takuma leaped out of bed and hopped into the shower where he did a lacklustre job of cleaning himself. "Sorry Mom, I have no time to clean behind my ears today." Takuma said knowing his mother wouldn't approve of his cleanliness. After spending a few minutes soaking under the hot water he raced from the shower to his bedroom. He threw the towel over his head and rubbed aggressively until his hair was only slightly damp. He looked to the floor where he quickly grabbed some clothes off the floor and tossed them onto his body.

Takuma sped down the stairs where he saw that his mom left some breakfast on the counter before she left for work earlier that morning. Takuma picked the bread off the table and rushed out the door holding a piece of toast in between his teeth trying to make up for lost time.

He starred down at his watch. It read 9:54. "I have 6 minutes. I should be able to make it." He said through a mouthful of bread. Takuma slowed his pace to a fast walk trying to clean himself up. Takuma was having trouble adjusting his clothing so that they would fit properly while trying not to choke on his breakfast. After some difficulty, his grey sweater and blue jeans looked to be in perfect order. His shaggy brown hair was in a rut. After running his hands through it a few times, and giving it a good rustle, his hair felt up to par. He was carrying his backpack in his hands trying to stuff his notebook and journal into the bag. He managed to place his notebook and journal in his bag upon arriving to his school. "Well, it looks like luck wasn't on my side today. Hopefully Ms. Okisha will still let me write that stupid test. After all I am only a few minutes late. Knowing that old hag, she probably will make me pick up old food off of the cafeteria floor for a week."

Takuma ran inside, up the set of stairs which he took two at a time and sped down the hallway till he reached his class room. He reached for the door handle, gave it a soft turn and proceeded inside. The class looked up silently and watched as Takuma made his way up to the front of the room, where Ms. Okisha was sitting looking at her computer.

"Um, excuse me Ms. Okisha, I apologize for being late. I accidentally slept through my alarm. Can I please write the test still?" Takuma asked in his best 'I really am sorry' voice.

"You know my policy on students being late on test days, don't you?" She said.

"Of course, but it was just this once. Please?" He pleaded.

"No, I am sorry Takuma." She said without breaking her concentration on her Minesweeper game.

"Please Ms. Okisha, it was only one time. I promise not to do it again." Takuma pleaded.

Ms. Okisha sighed before looking up at Takuma. "Fine. You may write the test. However, if this happens again you will get one of my special punishments. You understand?"

Takuma nodded, took the test from her hand and proceeded to his desk. He was feeling relieved, and at the same time, worried at the thought of facing one of her punishments head on.

Takuma sat down pulled out his pen and opened up the test booklet. He was in Social Studies, which was his worst course. Not because he was bad at history or geography, but because this was the class that gave him the best opportunity to day dream, which he took full advantage of. "Alright, question one: 'In your own words describe the Civil Rights Act that was implemented in the United States in 1964.' He stared at the page for a few seconds before it came to him. "Oh right this was the discrimination one." He thought to himself. He began to write down his answer, with as many details as possible. He paused for a moment, realizing his pen was out of ink. He shook it, flicked it, and licked it but his pen had already written its last words. "Come on you stupid thing. Please, please, please work. Now is not the time" Takuma felt a tapping on his shoulder. He turned around to see a boy holding a pen to his face. The boy had golden blond hair with a cream color shirt that had its sleeves rolled up to only cover three quarters of his arms. He was wearing grey pants and navy blue shoes. He was smiling at Takuma.

"You need it?" He asked.

"Oh, Uh yeah. Thanks. This piece of crap died at the worst possible time" Takuma said laughing to himself.

"I can see that. That pen is all yours, just make sure you return it when you're done." The boy said as he changed his focus to his test.

"Yeah of course." Takuma began to turn around slowly before he paused and turned back to the boy.

"Hey, um, I know this is kind of a dumb question, but may I ask what your name is?" He said feeling slightly embarrassed.

"It's Kaiyen. But you can call me Kai." He said.

"Oh well thanks again K-"

"Takuma, Kai out in the hall! There will be no cheating in my classroom." Ms. Okisha shouted from behind her desk. Her finger was erect and signalling towards the door. Her face was full of displeasure, and her gaze felt like lasers to the two boys.

"But we weren't cheating I swear!" Takuma pleaded.

"OUT!" She said, making more then half the room jump. Takuma placed the pen and his notebook inside his back pack and walked out of the room. Kai picked up his things and followed Takuma out the door, shutting it quietly. He walked over to where Takuma was sitting on the floor with his bag slouched beside him.

"Sorry 'bout that." Takuma said looking down at the tiles on the floor. "You're probably going to get a zero now because of me."

"Ah don't worry about it. I'm at a 97% average right now anyway. One zero probably wont do to much." He said smiling down towards Takuma. He extended his hand down towards Takuma. "Although the circumstances aren't ideal, it's nice to meet you Takuma"

"It's nice to meet you too." He said shaking Kai's hand. "How come I have never seen you before?" He asked.

"Well, for the past few months I was doing homeschooling. We moved from Odaiba to here in Shinjuku and my mom wanted me to get used to the city before going into public school. I told her I was alright but she insisted. I think it's because she has seen to many movies where the new kid gets bullied. Either way I finally convinced her to let me come to public school this week and yesterday was my first day. It isn't as relaxed as homeschooling but I think I could get used to coming here everyday." He laughed.

"What made you have to move over here? Isn't Odaiba a pretty cool place?" Takuma asked.

"Well my dad got transferred here, well it was either here or some city in America, and we preferred to stay in our continent. It is easier to adjust." He said.

"I see well it is nice for you to be here. Maybe you can come over for dinner one of these days. My mom is a really good cook and I am sure she would love to welcome the new kid." Takuma laughed.

"That would be great. My mom doesn't cook much, she has been so busy trying to get the house all sorted out. She is also juggling two jobs right now because she is trying to make enough money for us to live on." He replied.

"What about your dad?" Takuma asked. "Doesn't he make enough money?" before Takuma could stop himself, he realized that was a rude question to ask. "I am sorry. That was really rude of me."

"Don't worry about it. I have grown to accept it. Well, to tell you the truth, my dad left about a month ago. He couldn't take the stress of the move, accompanied by a new job and trying to take care of my mom, my little sister, and myself. One day, my mom and I were coming home from grocery shopping and when we walked in he was gone. He left a note on the table saying "I'm sorry, but I can't do it anymore" and that was the last that we heard of him."

"Oh I am so sorry. I didn't mean to bring it up." Takuma said. He felt awful bringing up a topic that he was sure Kai didn't like talking about. With his face turning red he turned his gaze back towards the floor.

"Don't worry about it. I didn't take it to hard. I was never a fan of my dad. He was always in his office doing work so I didn't see him much anyways. And when I did he wouldn't talk much. He was always saying stuff like "I'm sorry kiddo; I have a lot of work to do." What the hell he was doing that took up so much time I will never know."

"Again I am so sorry for bringing it up. I hope that you'll forgive me." Takuma said.

"Don't worry about it pal. It doesn't mat-" Suddenly all the lights in the school shut off. A cold, wind blew through the halls.

"Is it normal for the temperature of our school to drop so much so suddenly?" Takuma asked rhetorically. "What the hell is going on?"

Takuma stood up and ran over to the window. He looked out side. The sky was dark, like the sun was taking a nap. It had a slight burgundy tinge to it, with the clouds black as night. Kai ran over to the window and looked outside.

They overheard a teacher trying to keep order in his classroom. "Calm down everyone, we are currently experiencing a minor power outage. I am sure the power companies are working hard to restore our electricity."

"Minor power outage my ass." Takuma said

"What the hell is going on?" He said

"I don't know but I think we should go outside and check it out." After some careful deliberation they nodded to each other, turned and ran down the stairs and through the school and out the back doors. They both looked up at the sky.

"Holy…" Kai said in amazement

"…Shit" Takuma said. The sky looked like it had been ripped open. The burgundy sky was divided by a jagged strip of blue and green crossed over and over again. The sun seemed to be blocked by a blanket of that danced across the sky.

"What do you think it is?" Takuma asked. "That isn't what the northern lights look like, is it?"

"I highly doubt that. Is it even possible for us to see the northern lights? Especially since it is that clear? I need to get a picture of this." Kai reached into his bag for his camera. He held it up to the sky and snapped a picture. "Wow. Look at this." Takuma leaned over and caught a glimpse of the picture. It looked as though it had been made on the computer. The picture captured the dark red sky with the blue and green stripes running through it. As they starred down at the picture, it began to distort. The colors mixed and began to twist into odd shapes and colors.

"This is easily the coolest thing I have ever seen. Wait, what is that? Is it shooting meteors?" Takuma said. Above the two boys they noticed two white lights darting towards them, growing bigger and bigger every second. "They are coming right for us. RUN!" Takuma shouted. He grabbed his backpack in one hand and Kai's arm in the other. They turned and ran back into the school. Their curiosity couldn't keep them from looking out the windows of the doors. The meteors plummeted into the ground. A huge cloud of smoke rose and expanded. They could not get a clear view of the wreckage that the meteors had caused. As the dust settled Takuma opened the door slightly, hoping to catch a better view.

"Wait, you can't seriously be thinking about going out there can you?" Kai asked grabbing Takuma's shoulder. A look of concern leaked across his face.

"Of course I am, didn't you see that? We have to check it out." Takuma replied. Kai continued to stare at Takuma, hoping that he would find a way to convince Takuma otherwise. "Its not going to work, you know. I am going out there."

"Well," Kai waited "okay fine. But if anything starts flying down from the sky again we are coming straight back here. Okay?"

"Okay." Takuma opened the door and sprinted towards the spot were the meteors landed. He looked down at it. "What in the world is this?" Kai walked over to the other crater. He couldn't see much of anything, other then the odd rock here and there. After examining the hole further he noticed a round object embedded into the ground.

"What is it?" He asked.

"I really have no clue. Should we touch it?" Takuma asked. He was looking down into the crater, it was still smoking. "All I see is a little circle thingy. How could that be?" he asked. "There is way too big of a crater for it to have been caused by that little thing."

"I don't know. But it is the same thing in this one." Kai said, baffled looking over at the second crater.

"On three?" Takuma asked.

"Sure." He replied. "One…Two…" They both gulped as they began to reach down towards the object. Slowly they grabbed the objects, pulled them up and began to examine them.

"It looks like some kind of device." Takuma was staring down at the device. It was a pale blue color with three dark blue buttons surrounding a small screen. Takuma turned it over in his hands, examining every bit of it. "How do you turn it on?" He asked.

"I think the button on the left." Kai replied. They both pressed the button. The screens blasted a blinding white light out of the screen. "Yep, that did it" Kai said. The machine's light began to change into every color you could imagine.

"Whoa, what's going on?" Takuma said covering his eyes.

"I'm not to sure, but whatev-"

"Initiate transfer sequence"

"Did these things say that?" Takuma asked, worried.

"I think we are about to find out" Kai answered. Suddenly both of the boys felt their bodies being sucked away from them. They were shot into a vortex, spinning and tumbling with no control of their bodies. Around them were lines, and circles and all sorts of shapes and designs. Colors changing by the millisecond. They were spat out onto the ground, in the middle of a forest. Laying on their backs, they were dazed, with little sense of their surroundings.

"What just happened to us?" Takuma asked rubbing his head.

"Where the hell are we?" Kai said, sounding annoyed as he looked around to notice that they were not surrounded by a school yard, but rather a lush and colourful forest. As Kai stood up he noticed some rustling behind a shrub to his left. He looked over to see a little creature peak out of the bush.

"Well you're in the digital world of course." Said a small purple dragon as it made its way towards the two boys.
