Virtual Hell
Chapter I: Error
It has been one year since Tai Kamiya and his friends said goodbye to their digimon friends. Forced by the Leaders of the world they permanently closed the gates to the digital world. Since then, Tai and the others have been living normal lives going to school and spending time together as friends do. At least they did live normal lives until a new online virtual reality game known at the THE WORLD game into popularity. Tai and his friends gained interest and they all agreed to log on at the same time right after school, but first there was an argument for them settle.
"IT WAS LAST MINUTE. DOING THAT CONCERT GOT ME IN GOOD WITH THE SIVLER SOUND RECORDING COMPANY!"
"BUT YOU MADE A PROMISE TO TAKE ME TO THE TO SEE THE SLAYING NINJA PLAY!"
"Matt, Sora calm down!"
It was after school and every student's eyes were either glancing at the commotion between Matt and Sora or looking the other way. Tai was trying to calm the two down with no success.
"I know I promised but with the money I can get from Silver Sound will help me pay for collage," Matt said.
"So you care about your career more then me," Sora said angrily.
"NO! That's not it all, but you see."
"You promised me three weeks that you'd take me to see the play and broke it just so you can do a stupid concert!" Sora yelled.
".STUPID I HAVE YOU KNOW THAT CONCERT GOT ME A THREE YEAR CONTRACT!" Matt yelled.
"Will you two calm down?" Tai asked.
"YOU KEEP OUT OF THIS!" Sora and Matt both yelled at Tai.
"So what's more important to you the contract or me," Sora asked. "You." Matt replied
"Then why did you break your promise to me?" Sora asked.
"Well you see I.I sort of." Matt began confusingly.
"Tell her you forgot and you're dead where you stand," Tai whispered to Matt as Sora gave him a serious cold-hearted look in the eye.
"I know but when she stares at me like it's to head come up with a batter excurse," Matt whispered back.
"I'm waiting!" Sora said harshly in a cold tone that could freeze a man in fear.
Matt began to sweat little by little as Sora gazed at him and then finally he swallowed his breath and forced himself to speak, "I.I."
"Don't say it." Tai whispered.
"I.I.forgot." Matt said finally. He watched carefully as Sora's face grew red with anger and from with in her a volcano exploded!
"YOU WHAT!" she yelled so loud it seemed that the entire area could hear, "HOW COULD YOU FORGET I REMINDED YOU THE NIGHT BEFORE THE PLAY!"
"I know but when my dad mentioned the concert I meant to call you, but I didn't have time and well.uh." Matt said feeling smaller then a flea.
"I've heard enough! Matt Yamato, goodbye! I hope you and your contract live happily together," Sora coldly she then turned around and walked home.
Matt and Tai watched her go and Matt lowered his head in sorrow as Tai patted his back a few times.
"I told you not to tell her that," Tai said.
"I know but when she looks at me that way it's hard for me to come up with anything but the truth," Matt replied as he raised up and turned to his friend, "Hey Tai will you go talk to her for me. I don't think she'll speak to me right now without giving a slap or ten,"
"Yeah sure," Tai said, "Your logging into The World today right try and come 'Delta, Collapsed Eternal White Devil' I'll try and get her to go there, to work off her anger and then meet us at the lowest level for the dungeon,"
"Why in The World?" Matt asked.
"Because you have a batter chance of defending yourself from attack," Tai joked, "Besides fighting all the monster may get her to release all of her anger,"
"Good point," Matt laughed smiling friendly, "Alright I'll meet in The World 'Delta, Collapsed Eternal White Devil,'"
"Ok then I'll go and catch up with her and try and get her to go there, see yah," Tai said he then ran off to try and catch up with Sora.
After running for about three minutes he caught up with her and walked at her side. She held a look of both sorrow and anger as Tai spoke with her.
"Matt probably just got excited about the concert and the thought of the play just faded from his memory. I'm sure he didn't mean to forgot Sora," Tai said.
"I know, but this is the fourth this has happened. Tell me has he really gotten a contract?" Sora asked.
"He said he signed an agreement to use Silver Sound, but the real contract wont be until he does another concert in two more weeks. So he'll most likely be rehashing all weekend," Tai said.
"I was hoping to do something with him this weekend but I can tell he's really looking forward to it. So I wont bother him for a while. Besides I don't really feel like speaking to him for a while," Sora sighed. She then turned to Tai, "Hey Tai?"
"Yeah." Tai replied friendly.
"Are.are you doing anything this weekend?" Sora asked suddenly and blushing.
"Huh! What do you mean by that?" Tai asked nervously.
"What I mean is.are you planning on spending your weekend in The World?" Sora asked.
"Yeah I am unless something else comes up. Why do you ask?" Tai replied.
"If it's alright with you is ok if I joined you and Joe. We can meet everyday in Delta Sever and then go an area," Sora said.
"Are you sure the areas Joe and I go to are." Tai said as Sora interrupted.
".are level fifteen darkness battle areas in Bata server. I know, I'm a level ten blademaster I should be just fine," Sora said, "Infect aren't you logging on when you get home today?" Sora asked.
"Yes, but I'll be joining someone else. A friend of mine from the soccer team he's calls himself Orca," Tai said, "he has a level of fifty and can easily knock out any of the enemies I battle,"
"I look forward to meeting him. Is alright if I come along?" Sora asked.
"Yeah sure we'll be In the Delta meet us there," Tai said as they stopped at a two way street.
"What name to do you go by in The World? Will I be able to find you?" Sora asked.
"I go by the name Tai-rai and my class is Twin Swordsman," Tai replied friendly.
"I go by the name Leena-sue. Well I'll meet you their bye," Sora said she then walked down the streets towards home and Tai did likewise.
When he got home he found that Kari was already logged in on her computer. Their dad had recently gotten a promotion and he was able to buy them each their own separate computers. Tai looked at his sister who went the name Zire and was Wavemaster at level seven. Tai sat down at his computer, put on his visor and logged in.
He arrived in Delta serve, the Aqua Capital. His character looked like him but had long brown hair in a pony with white streams on the side, red sleeveless T-shirt with a few rips on the shoulder over a white long sleeved shirt, black pants, fingers black gantlets brown boots, a dragon claw marking on both sides of his face, two sheaths at his side and one thin blade with a katana's curve in each hand. He looked around and a voice echoed through his ears.
"Hey what took yah,"
Tai turned to his left and saw a big bulky character with a black pants, black boots white T-shirt, strange blue markings on his face and arms, sheath and sword on back. Tai walked up to him.
"Victor is that you? You look great!" Tai said surprisingly.
"Hey don't say my real name here! In The World I'm Orca regardless of what I'm called in reality," Victor replied, "You don't look bad yourself Tai- rai. So ready to go?"
"Yeah, but a friend of mine is coming is that ok?" Tai asked.
"Yeah sure. When are they going to get here?" Victor asked.
"She should be here soon," Tai replied. Just then the chaos gate opened and reveled a girl in light blue shorts, long blond hair, crystal blue eyes, white shirt, half angel wing markings on her face, a sword's sheath at left side her side and thin steel sword in her right hand.
Orca (Victor) turned around and his eyes almost popped out of his head as he gazed at winged angel. Tai turned around and his face took on the same appearance as Victor. The girl turned towards stared at them strangely and spoke.
"What are you two staring at?" the girl asked and then Tai shook his and his mouth hang open as he spoke recognizing the girl's voice, "Sora is that you?"
Sora looked at Tai from head to toe, "Tai."
"Your look great!" the two of them said simultaneously.
Victor snapped out his trance and shook his head, "So your friend, does she look this good in reality! Please tell me yes,"
"Is that you friend Tai-rai?" Sora asked calling him by his character name.
"Yeah this is Victor are Orca as he calls himself," Tai replied.
"Hi it nice to meet you m name's Sora in reality but Leena-sue the blademaster here in The World here,"
"Hey names Victor, but as Tai already said you can call me Orca while we're in The World," Victor said, "Well now that you're here let's get going,"
They all walked near the Chaos Gate and Tai spoke 'Delta, Collapsed Eternal White Devil'. A yellow ring appeared above them and then dropped and as it did they vanished. They appeared in a large valley with trees, an even terrain and yellow balls everywhere. They walked through the area and fought a few monsters. When they cleared what they called magic portals off the field they entered the dungeon. They stood within hall with brown brick walls and barely lit.
"Leena-sue, you alright?" Tai asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. I even moved up a level," Sora replied smiling, "Hey tell me why did you guys come here in the first place?"
"We heard on the bored that there was an item hidden in this area called the book of the twilight," Victor answered.
"It's extremely rare, it's rumored to be able to grant any character who uses it a special skill," Tai explained.
"What skill will it give you?" Sora asked.
"We don't know, but that's why were going to find it and out," Tai said bravely.
They continued down the long hallway when unexpectedly a ghost like girl with white hair and pale face went flying down another hallway followed by a creature that looked to be at least ten feet, and whose arms and lags weren't attached and flouted in the air near the areas where they should have been! They watched as the two raced down the hallway in front of them! They ran into the hallway after they passed, but the two figures had vanished! They followed the path the two took into a room, but when they arrived they found only a dead-end.
"What was that? It looked like it was chasing her," Tai asked.
"I have no idea! But something like that in a level sixteen area," Victor said surprisingly.
"Was that a normal character in the game?" Sora asked.
"Who knows, but for now let's just get to the bottom floor and worry about this later," Tai suggested.
They agreed and continued to walk through the dungeon battling monsters and grabbing items along the way. When they reached the bottom floor they stood before a room side by side.
"This is the last room, the book must be in there," Victor said calmly.
"We opened every magic portal in the dungeon and defeated every enemy. I just hope this item is worth all that trouble?" Sora said.
"Same here," Tai agreed.
"Well let's go and see if what we came for is in there," Victor said calmly.
The three off them entered the room and then suddenly bright flashes of light of light began to flicker rapidly until finally their surroundings changed. They stood in what looked to be some short of ruin with pieces of rock flouting in the air.
"Hey this isn't supposed to happen!" Victor yelled.
"Orca what's going on?" Tai asked surprised.
Then suddenly the ghostly girl appeared in front of them hovering in the air.
Victor looked at her, "Hey who are you? Are you a normal character in the game?" he questioned. He walked closed to her, ".Or are the rumors true,"
"Please take this and run there is no time," the girl said worryingly as a large book with a strange Japanese symbol on both sides of the cover. Orca grabbed the book and held it in hand.
"Orca what is that?" Sora asked.
"There is no time hurry take the book and run," the girl said fearfully. Then suddenly the ground shook a little and the, "It's coming," she then vanished and the creature they saw chasing the girl earlier appeared. It held a red staff in one hand and its eyeless deformed head stared at them. Orca grew an expression of both fear and anger! He tossed the book to Tai.
"Orca!" Tai said.
"Go run!" Victor cried, "I'll hold it off!" He then attacked the creature but with every swing of his sword he missed the beast! "Darn it! Nothing working!" then the beast flew into the air and threw it staff at Victor it land behind him and paralyzed the blade master as a bright flash of light radiated from his body the creature then raised his hand as the staff flouted into the air along with Victor (Orca) a stream of light flew through him followed by a bright flash of light!
Tai and Sora covered their eyes and when the light cleared there friend lay on the ground and weak and helpless, "Dammitt it wasn't suppose to be this way; Tai, Sora run! He'll kill!" he said as his voice faded and blood lack beneath his body. He then flouted in the air and vanished.
The creature then looked at Tai and Sora and the two of them froze holding their weapons in their hands. Suddenly a white staff with flew from the sky and landed between the two in the ground and then a white wave of light spread across the field and Tai and Sora vanished. Above the creature stood a woman in white robes and large hate with a visor hiding her eyes.
The next day Tai didn't have any school, but he didn't feel like logging into the world either he grabbed his soccer ball and left for the soccer field. Along the way he ran into Sora who was going to the tennis courts. They two of them since they were going to same way walked together in silence when finally Sora spoke.
"Hey Tai how's your friend Victor doing?" Sora asked. Tai was silent the mentioning of his friends name caused a painful, but sorrowful look of anger on his face, "I'm sorry you don't have to answer. I understand we went through a lot yesterday."
"After that strange flash of light I was logged off. I pulled off my visor and ran to the phone. I called Victor, but no one answered. I called again this morning and I learned that Victor was hospitalize and in a coma," Tai explained.
"In a coma.but how that can't be right," Sora said, "How."
"I don't know I thought about talking with Izzy about it but.I didn't want to get him involved. Knowing his big mouth he'll tell the others and then everyone we'll be involve. I think The World might be responsible for Victor being in a coma. Whatever that thing was I'm going to find it and make him pay!" Tai explained as he gripped his fist.
"Your logging back in later on today aren't you?" Sora asked.
"Yeah," Tai said.
"Then I'm coming with you," Sora said.
"No way!" Tai replied as they stopped walking.
"Why not? You'll need all the help you can get," Sora said.
"What if we do find that thing and you end up like Victor. Matt would kill me once he found out I was with you!" Tai said.
"But what if you end up in a coma then what. Kari would hate when found out I knew about and wasn't helping you!" Sora cried, "I'm not letting you do this one alone even if I have to help with my own investigation." She gave him the serious look and Tai gazed back and then sighed.
"Fine you can come with me but don't the others I don't want to get them involve until I figure what's going on in there," Tai sighed.
"I won't tell anyone even Matt," Sora promised, "And don't worry about Matt he called me last night and explained your little plan to me. I told him something went wrong with the game and the administration turn us back until it was fixed,"
"Thanks, anyway I'll be logging back in at noon today meet me in delta serve," Tai said.
"I will," Sora replied, "I only hope we can figure this out,"
"Yeah same here," Tai said.
They then continued on their way side by side and the silence between them resumed.
