Chapter: 1
I was driving home from a lengthy day at school. I was really looking forward to hopping on Warcraft and playing with my friends, but something was really worrying me; last night while we were raiding my computer started to flash with strange symbols and pictures of creatures. They looked a lot like the monsters that showed up in the world a few years ago in Japan. I was probably just seeing things though, my computer was brand new! I don't see any reason why it would have glitched out like that. At any rate, I finally got home and settled in on my computer, logged in, and called everyone on Skype. Jaclyn, Kaytee, Brody, and Drew were already on waiting for me. Just as I logged into Warcraft I saw that same image again, it looked like some sort of runic symbol; looked to me like a sun with a bean shooting down from it. My screen quickly returned to normal and I kept on as nothing happened. However Kaytee and the others told me the same thing happened to them, only with different symbols. We simply disregarded the images and kept on playing after a few hours in the game, me and Drew logged off but just as I saw my phone. The images had spread to it! I quickly logged back on and asked the others to check theirs to see if the same thing happened.
Just as I had thought, Kaytee, Drew, Brody, and Jaclyn all had the same thing on their phones. I tried turning mine off, pulling out the battery, nothing; the phone still had the same image coupled with static and a silhouette of some sort of creature. Kaytee said that we should all meet up the next day to discuss what was going on. After setting up a meeting location in a nearby computer lab we all agreed to set off the next day. Just as everyone was about to log off for the night my computer broke down and started flashing again, this time more violently. I ducked down thinking my computer was going to explode. The light was so blinding but two seconds later a strange device started floating out of my screen. The device had the same sigil on it that was flashing on my screen and I could hear a very faint, deep voice speaking from it "You...ar...chosen...fin...the...digita...gatewa.. ." The voice continued to cut in and out with the same message. This voice kept on all night with no way for me to turn it down...sadly enough it kept me up all night. I couldn't get a hold of the others because they had already logged off, but at least we had a little bit more information.
Morning came, and I had done nothing but think about what was going on all night long. I finally got a call from Jaclyn; "Nick! Hurry up and get over here! The others just got here and something really strange is going on." I responded intently "I'm on my way, don't do anything with those devices you have, it could be dangerous." "H-how did you know we have those?" Jaclyn said. "I'm on my way, just hang on." I headed out to the computer lab we were meeting at, but that weird device kept going off while I was driving. It was really distracting honestly, but I managed to make my way to the lab just fine. Just as I entered the lab the others presented me with their own devices, each were different colors and had different sigils on them. One of the computers in the lab flashed with our sigils and started flashing like our other computers.
The computer began to speak with the same voice that was on our devices. "The Gateway has opened, present the Crests of old to activate your digivices." Drew quickly jumped in "I guess these things are the digivices...and the crests are inside?" The voice responded hastily, but in a softer voice; "That is correct, Drew of the Black Flame. It is time to make your choice, do you continue into the digital world? Or do you turn back and abandon the duty that has been presented to you?" I quickly jumped in "We choose to advance! If we were chosen to do so, then we can't abandon the duty that we have been given." Brody make a quick remark after I had agreed so easily. "Nick, you cant just make our decision for us, we can't just jump into a world we don't know anything about." Jaclyn cut in "We have to go! I agree with Nick, this world may need our help, and if we have been given the chance to help, we should." Th computer shined brighter than anything we have ever seen and the voice once again questioned us. "Are you sure this is the path you wish to undertake, this is the last time I will ask." Kaytee stood in the corner, as Drew approached and asked "What do you think, you already know how the others feel; how about you Kaytee?" Kaytee looked at Drew, perplexed and said "Lets go, Nick and Jackie are right; We have to do this, so my vote is yes." The computer then began to flash again, this time with higher intensity. Our digivices mimicking the glow of the computer, the voice from the computer then said "The choice is made, you are the Digidestined, and your journey starts now..."
I looked at the computer as the light continued to intensify, it felt warm now, peaceful. It started to pull me in, the others eyes were fixated on the screen. I felt a tugging sensation on my chest, i'm sure the others felt the same as it seems they couldnt look away from the screen. The tugging became more intense and I felt like my skeleton was being ripped out of my body. A few seconds later, it was over...and we were face first in the ground...
