Chapter 2: Queen of the Stars

When Sora woke up, she found herself in a cell aboard the spaceship saying, "what happened? Where am I?" Just then a security guard walked past to check on Sora. "What happened to my friends," she asked. "Sorry to burst your bubble missy but I think your friends are dead," the guard replied, "for more information, please talk to Lord Anthrax in the throne room. Oh, I forgot. You Can't!" As soon as Sora found a key on the guard's waist, she said, "Look there's a Yoshi," and the guard turned around. He fell for it and Sora grabbed the key, opened the cell door and left while the guard wasn't watching. When the guard turned around, he saw that the cell was empty and said, "That crafty little twerp," in annoyance.

Meanwhile, on a random small planet, Tai was K.O.'Ed from Reactor's shots and lying on the grass. Then a small apricot coloured star-like being nudged the boy and he woke up. Upon waking, all Tai could see grass, menhirs, flowers and a rabbit with apricot ears which began saying, "are you lost?" "You could say that," said Tai, "because I don't really know where I am right now." "If you want answers," the rabbit added as two more with golden ears appeared, "then you have to catch us first." The rabbits disappeared, leaving Tai perplexed as he said, "well, I've gotta find them."

This task proved to be much easier than Tai had thought. "This planet is really small," Tai said confused as ever, "but at least there's less places to check." The first place he checked was a flower bed and as he did a gold eared rabbit started to run off. "Oh, no you don't," Tai shouted as he went after the rabbit. As it was caught, it turned into a golden star-like being and said, "Oh shoot! I should have gone for the pipe!" "What pipe," Tai had to ask when he saw a green pipe sticking out of the ground, "oh that one. This is starting to look like a Mario game." And so he looked inside it, found the other gold eared rabbit, caught it and see it transform into another star-like being which said in frustration, "I knew I should have hid in the crater when I had the chance!" "This should be easy," Tai began to say when found it and, from too much excitement, fell in. "Well this is the pits," said Tai now that he is stuck in the hole, "at least I found the last rabbit." Clearly ticked off for losing, the apricot eared rabbit reverted into its star-like form.

"You're not as stupid as I thought stranger," the star thing began saying, "Now I can tell you where you are but first we have got to get out of here." It was a lot of effort but eventually both Tai and the star thing made it out. "We are the Lumas," the apricot Luma continued saying, "a proud race of the cosmos. Our mother is the queen and you are at the gateway between Pekopon and outer space. Mum will explain more when you see her. Allow me to materialise the stone platform." From out of nowhere, a massive stone platform appeared on the other side of the planet from the menhirs. "Wow, thanks little guy," said Tai in a thanksgiving mode, "Now my questions will be answered."

When Tai got to the top, all he saw was an intensely beautiful woman standing in front of giant crystals. "Um, hi" Tai began to say when the woman started speaking. "I am Lady Rosalina, the queen of the stars," the woman started her speech, "I watch over the Lumas as they are my children. Speaking of which, I saw what you did Tai." "Wait, how did you know my name," Tai asked while once again confused, "and how did you know I was trying to save Sora? I didn't like it when people get kidnapped so I had to save her." "True, but that's not it," Rosalina continued, "You and several other children were the first to enter the digital world in millennia other than Gennai. Your actions were so phenomenal, that a Pekoponian company, Bandai, made a franchise dedicated to the digital mosnters and eventually the digidestined such as yourself."

"Wow, I didn't know we were that famous," said Tai. "Oh, it was a global phenomenon," Rosalina continued with no sign of stopping, "Anthrax just had to land on the wrong spot on your planet." "Wait, you know Anthrax? He's evil," Tai exclaimed. "That is true," Rosalina kept going, "we go back a long way. Now our paths have split; I chose the good path, he took the evil one. I have no idea exactly why he took coal from other planets but he is destroying them as a result. Pekopon, your home planet was his latest victim and thus its inhabitants have disappeared but your friends, you and a few others remain. Finding them requires the power of the lumas." Just then, the apricot luma from before appeared and fused with Tai giving him powers such as breathing in space, universal translation and many other cool powers. "Now that you have a wide plethora of powers, you don't need your digimon partner as I don't have internet access and neither will your friends. Your first task is to free my friend Edward. See me again when you have freed him. Goodbye, Tai."

After quite a long speech, Rosalina disappeared in a flash of light. Tai breathed a sigh of relief saying, "well at least the old man's alive. I should apologise for not heeding his wisdom. Where is he anyway?" "Use the launch star," the apricot luma said who is now a mere voice in Tai's head, "one spin will bring you closer to your goal." "Okay I will," said Tai as he, upon Luma's words, spun on the launch star after breaking the crystals containing it, taking him to another planet. As soon as he landed, he noted several unusual features, "This planet is also small but it's hollow and full of holes. What do I do here?" "Pick up the five orange triangle pieces," Luma started saying, "and don't fall in the holes. There is a black hole in the middle of this planet and falling into one is a death sentence." Thus Tai was extra careful in getting the first two pieces when a meteor threw Tai off guard and he was left hanging over the edge. Not wanting to give up or die, Tai pulled himself up and continued finding the triangle pieces. When all five were found they fused into a launch star which Tai used to get to the next planet.

This planet was metallic and covered in goombas. "This is starting to looking Mario now," Tai said surprised, "What now Luma?" "One of my friends is being held captive in a cage," Luma said, "one these goombas has a key. To kill one, jump on it. If you get hit and need more health, grab a coin." With that wisdom, Tai began jumping on goombas in hopes of finding a key. In the rare event he did get hit, Tai grabbed a coin to heal himself. When he did find the key, he took it to the cage to free the gold luma who said, "thank you for releasing me. Use the sling star to get closer to Edward." The sling star was like a launch star but smaller and more suited to small distance travel. Tai used it to go to another metallic planet. However, this one was larger, had a giant goomba and was orbited by small ships similar to Anthrax's mother ship except smaller and shot bullet bills.

"This doesn't look easy at all," Tai said as he dodged multiple bullet bills, "any ideas Luma?" "Keep dodging the bullet bills as you approach the giant goomba, then, as it's too big to jump on, spin next to it and kick it." Tai did as Luma said and spun at the giant goomba. It flipped over on contact and was kicked for the kill. Afterwards, Tai picked up the key and opened the cage containing another gold luma and a green warp pipe. "Thanks dude," said the luma, "if you want Edward, he's in that warp pipe." So Tai entered the warp pipe to go inside the planet.

Once inside the planet, Tai found Edward in a cage next to a machine that was draining a big star's energy and went up to the old man. "There you are old man," Tai said in an apologetic mode, "I'm sorry for ignoring you. Please forgive me." "Young boy there will be time for that later," Edward started saying, "but first, get me out of this cage!" "How," Tai asked. "There is no stereotypical key here. Turn all of the blue platforms on the floor yellow by stepping on them," Edward added, "you can do it because there is no one else here that can do the job and I need to pee!" Tai did as Edward said and stood on every blue button he can find on the planet's equator and around the machine. This caused the cage to open. "Finally, I'm free," Edward said in relief. "Can we go now," asked Tai. "Not now kid," Edward continued, "Anthrax's forces have captured me so I can give him a grand star for him to drain and then they imprisoned me. Now I must turn off the machine!" Edward entered the coordinates and the machine was offline and the grand star was free and shining a healthy gold colour. "Now we can go," said Edward. He and Tai exited the planet and since the power is out the miniships were off. Edward summoned a launch star for him and Tai to use and they left for outer space.
