Chapter 2
The next morning came, and Mr. Litwak-the owner of Litwak's Arcade- had some things to do before opening hours. He had just unplugged another broken game-Sugar Rush- and took it to the San Fransokyo Institute of Technology. The robotics majors like to use the parts from the game and even try to fix them, and succeeded. Mr. Litwak decided to donate all the broken games from his arcade and give them to the students. The students were grateful, and loved accepting the games.
He brought the game inside the building, and saw a young student approach him. Hiro Hamada was a robotics prodigy, and was in some need of a new project. So when he saw Mr. Litwak with a new broken arcade game, he just had to get it first.
"Hi Mr. Litwak," Hiro greeted.
"Well hello Hiro," Mr. Litwak knew Hiro because of the fact that's he's the first 14 year old accepted into SFIT, and he likes to play in the arcade a lot, "Would you like the game this time?" he asked.
"Yeah. I've been looking for a new project, so when I saw you coming, I had to get to you before anyone else saw the game," Hiro explained.
"It's all yours. Can I take it to your lab?" Mr. Litwak asked. Hiro nodded and led him to his lab.
It was a spacious lab, with a lot of room, even after the game was placed on the floor. Mr. Litwak headed back to the arcade, opening time was soon, and he needed to get back and prepare the arcade for a new day.
Hiro sat in his lab, looking at the game Mr. Litwak had brought in. He had decided to look at the wiring inside the machine. When he opened up the back, he saw that some of the wires were out of place, and some were even torn. After spending a few hours fixing the inside, Hiro plugged it in to see if it worked or not. What happened next had shocked him.
The games screen lit up green, blue, and purple. The colors seemed to spin in a circle around the screen and combined, creating the color black. He could still see that it was spinning around, because small bits of color were spinning fast around the screen. The machine was whirring loudly, and papers from Hiro's desk were flying everywhere. Hiro was so confused; he had never seen anything like this happened before. He stared intently at the screen, waiting for something to happen. Just then, the screen shattered and a large object came out of the game. The object had landed on the floor, right on top of Hiro, causing him to fall.
The machine had gone silent, and the wind had stopped blowing. Hiro had pushed the object off of himself and stood up. He looked at the object. It was a person.
"How did that person get inside a game?" he thought.
Hiro took a closer look at the unconscious girl on the floor. She was about his height. She was wearing a mint-green jacket and a brown skirt with white and mint-green striped leggings. Her jet-black hair was tied in a ponytail above her head in a red bow. She also had pieces of candy in her hair.
He took a step back and looked at the side of the game. The girl on the side looked just like the girl on the floor! "How is this possible?" he whispered. He began pacing around his lab like a maniac, thinking of all sorts of questions, like, "How do I get her back into the game?" and "What if someone finds out the truth about her?"
To his luck, his pacing and mumbling caused his friends to come in and witness the scene. They were just as confused as he was, and Hiro didn't know they were standing in the doorway until Fred called his name.
"Hiro?"
Hiro spun his head to the door, and saw his friends. He had an insanely confused look on his face. His friends wanted to know what happened, but he didn't have a good excuse, so he had to tell them what had just happened. They couldn't believe what he said until he showed them the side of the machine, where the girl on the floor matched the girl on the machine.
Fred had closed the door so they could sort the situation out without anyone else coming in and seeing the mess in the lab.
Hiro had been studying her and she finally opened her eyes.
