Chapter One.
It was a typical morning for Jake Williams, his mom abruptly woke him up by opening the curtains.
"Jake get up now!"
"Five more minutes, I want more time in Dreamland..."
"GET UP NOW!"
"Fine, fine, fine"
Jake got out of bed and forced his mom to leave the room. He went to the bathroom and splashed warm water on his face. He rubbed his eyes, then combed his hair. He got dressed in his favorite outfit: a plain white shirt, grey sweatshirt, blue jeans, and his Nike track shoes. Jake grabbed his backpack, headphones, and iPhone. He made his way down the three flights of stairs to the lobby of the apartment building. It was a nice morning for New York City in the winter. He didn't mind living in the city, he actually loved it for two reasons: First of which was the freedom of walking to school (which was a reasonable distance away from the complex), the second reason was standing right in front of him. Alana Chase, his neighbor who was just a few months younger than him. Jake thought she was absolutely beautiful in any and every way possible. She had average length blond hair, blue eyes, and was currently wearing a white blouse skinny jeans a black beanie and chocolate ugs. They have been friends since Jake moved to the city 3 years ago, but Jake has never been able to tell her how he felt. Jake stood there looking at her for a few seconds until he snapped himself out of it. He walked up to her and said, "Morning Alana, you ready for school?"
She turned to look at the boy and yelled, "Jacob Douglas Williams! I have been waiting 14 minutes and 23 seconds for you!, do you want to be late?"
"Désolé Alana!, I'm Sorry!" Jake said as he raised his hand up in surrender. "I over slept a little...my mother had to shine the light in my face to get me up!"
"You should set an alarm, oh wait you do... fine then set two! Anyway, lets hurry we have to get to school!" Alana said as she quickly spun around and started to walk.
"Hey wait for me!, Alana!" Jake yelled out as he run up besides her.
Jake and Alana walked out of the school. "Ugh, I had a rough day, how bout you Alana?"
"Try studying you idiot, I get straight A's!" Alana bragged while showing off a test with a giant red 'A+' on it.
Jake laughed and walked past her then he stopped. In front of him was Isabella Gracia. the self-proclaimed most popular and prettiest girl in the school; she annoyed both Jake and Alana. What she was doing however enraged Jake. She was making a heart with her hands around Jake and Alana. Even though Jake likes Alana, he saw this as a way to ruin his chances with her. However, Alana being clueless as always, didn't even notice the Spanish cheerleader making a heart around the two, and just plainly walked past her expecting Jake to follow, which he did.
"So Dougy, what are you up to this weekend?" Alana asked knowing using his middle name like that would upset him.
"Oh nothing really, how about you, Sophia?" Jake said smirking
"Sssshhhhh Alana said putting her hand over Jake's mouth, Don't say that out loud!" She looked around, "I don't want anyone to know my middle name!"
Jake took Alana's soft hand off of his face and said, "Then don't say mine!"
"Fine..."
Even though it seemed they just were in a fight, both were smiling.
For the next few blocks they walked in silence, Jake had his headphones on, and Alana was off day dreaming as she walked. It was up until they made it to their apartment building the silence was broken with Jake asking Alana, Hey, wanna come up to my place and hang out? Hm... Sure, why not Alana said as they both made there way to Jake s apartment.
They walked in to the small two bedroom apartment and went to Jake's room. Jake sat down at his desk and went on his computer as Alana pulled up a chair next to him. The first thing Jake did was check his email. There was one email from a mysterious sender-Pandemonium.
"Dear Jacob Douglas Williams and Alana Sophia Chase.
I have a simple question for the both of you. Do you want to go on with the tedious normal life you have? Or would you rather have a chance at excitement and power?
Yes or No
-Pandemonium."
"Jake...How did this person know I'd be here?"
"I'm not sure, maybe it was a lucky guess... But, I say we pick 'Yes', how about you?"
"Yeah, even though nothing'll happen."
Jake nodded and brought his mouse over to the 'Yes' button in the email. He took a deep breath and clicked it. For a few seconds nothing happened until two hands came out of the screen and pulled both Jake and Alana into the computer.
************************************Meanwhile, in Japan**************************************
Ryuuzaki Kaze woke to the sound of his alarm, opening his eyes slowly. He sat up and stumbled into the bathroom to wash his face. He looked in the mirror with a worn-out expression.
I look exactly like how I feel...ugh Kaze thought. He then quickly got dressed in his black trench coat, blue jeans and his black T-shirt with a 'Laughing Man' symbol on it. After getting dressed, Kaze went over to his mirror and quickly fixed his blue-black colored hair. When Kaze was happy with his appearance, he stated to walk to school.
When he finally made it to his school, he went to his first class- math. He sat down and looked at the board, not understanding what his teacher had written. He put his head down for a quick nap. It would be for only a few moments Kaze would fall asleep. Five minutes after Kaze had fallen asleep he was awoken to an argument between the teacher and a new student. The student was dressed in black-grey cargo pants, a plain red t-shirt with a leather jacket covering it up and he had a red leather messenger bag on. The teacher told the student to take the vacant seat next to Kaze.
At the end of class, the red-headed new kid spoke up and said to Kaze, "Nice Hair, I'm Mogiki"
"Thanks; I'm Kaze. You wouldn't happen to know what I missed while I was asleep right?" as Kaze asked, the bell rang. Mogiki quickly pulled out his schedule to see what class he had next
"Relax, it's time for homeroom, what do you have after this?" Kaze asked
"Uhhhm, history, room... 312? Where the hell is that?" Mogiki replied.
"Hey, I have that too, I'll show you the way." Kaze and Mogiki walked down the hallway then they entered the room, went in and sat down in the row closest to the door. Ten minutes later, a kid dressed in a button down shirt with a black tie, jeans and sneakers, with brown hair and glasses snuck into class, careful that the teacher didn't notice. He sat and down in the desk next to Kaze.
"Kinda late, aren t ya Darren?" Kaze asked with a smirk on his face.
"Yeeeah, ya know 'ow it is" Darren pinched his fingers, put them up to his lips, and inhaled deeply.
"Oh, Darren, this is Mogiki" Kaze said, almost forgetting about the red-haired boy sitting behind him.
Darren looked over at Mogiki, extended his hand and said, "Darren Takeshi, nice to meetcha."
The boys shook hands as Mogiki replied, "Mogiki Kungasi"
The rest of the day was a drag, as the three boys didn t have any other classes together. The final bell rang throughout the halls of the school as people piled out of their classes, eager to get home. Kaze was walking to the computer club, when he saw Mogiki roaming through the halls.
"HEY! KUNGASI!" Kaze yelled, trying to get Mogiki's attention.
Mogiki turned, and started to walk with Kaze, "What's up?" he asked.
"Me and Darren are in this computer club, wan na go with us today?" Kaze asked.
He wanted Mogiki to go for some reason, he had a feeling that today was going to be good.
"Eh, sure, why not" Mogiki replied.
The two of them walked into the computer lab, to see Darren, eyes bugged out and jaw hanging.
"Hey, dude, you alright? Ya look like you've seen a ghost or somethin'" Mogiki asked.
Darren just pointed at the email on the screen,
"Dear, Ryuuzaki Kaze, Mogiki Kungasi, and Darren Takeshi,
I have one simple question for the three of you. Do you want to go on with the tedious normal life you have? Or would you rather have a chance at excitement and power?
Yes or No
-Pandemonium."
"Well?" Mogiki asked his friends.
"Well what? It s probably some stupid chain mail; click Yes for shits and giggles." Kaze quickly responded.
"Yeah, but how d it know our names? Plus, Mogiki just got ere! Darren said rather animatedly."
"Kaze shrugged, I dunno, some creepy stalker guy maybe. Ah well, just click the goddamn Yes button!"
Fine, but if anything happens, I swear to Go- Darren was interrupted as he clicked the Yes button, three hands came out of the screen and pulled the three students into the computer.
