Chapter 2

The five teenagers all met at the café that Virginie had asked to meet them at. "Hey!" Called Tristan, sitting a table, drinking some hot chocolate, whipped crème on his nose from where he'd taken a deep drink of the warm liquid. "I got us a table guys, and the hot chocolate is on me. I promise." He grinned, and as each teenager sat down, hot chocolate arriving soon for all of them.

"Virginie… you said you wanted us for something." Asked Lucas, as he settled into his chair, a sweat drop forming on his head the moment he saw her pulling out her laptop. She turned it on and opened it, pulling up various things. "You just brought us here to show us whatever you put on that computer?" Lucas sighed, "Couldn't you have just put that on an email or something and showed us as school?"

"Absolutely not. This is something important." She pulled up her email inbox, and turned the computer around so her friends could see the email that was sitting on the screen. "As you can see… someone's asking for help. I don't know who though, I haven't seen this email address before." Once she was sure her friends had seen the screen, she turned it back to facing her, the soft glow of the computer screen showing on her face. "I just wish I knew who was asking… they sent me a link to click on in another one, but how can I be sure it isn't a virus or something?" She asked, looking at her friends, who obviously looked as weirded out as she felt.

"Well, show it to us." Tristan said simply. "You can fix it either way, right? There shouldn't have been any problem with you clicking on it."

"Tristan, look at this email." She pulled up the separate email, and showed him the link, but above it made him gape. "Look at this, it has all our names."

The email read:

"Viriginie, Tristan, Lucas, Anastasie, and Henri, I am emailing you because your help is dearly needed. I know I realized that I didn't mention this in my previous email, but I am mentioning it now. We need your help, all five of you, and I hope that all five of you are reading this message right now. I'm sure none of you know who I am, but all will be revealed if one of you just clicks here."

The link was highlighted on the word "here", and the address that appeared when Anastasie hovered the mouse over the word didn't look familiar to her. "What the heck…?" She said quietly, looking it over, before passing the computer to Henri, who had been watching and listening quietly. His friends knew that he'd been sleeping before he appeared at the café, and attributed the quietness to the fact that their friend was sleepy. "What do you think Henri?" Anastasie asked, and sighed, watching him rub his eyes and peer at the computer screen.

"I don't know… It doesn't look familiar at least. Let's just click it." He said, and as his friends gathered behind him, he clicked the link. Nothing seemed to happen for a bit, but then a quick flash of light appeared, and then, when the light died away, the five teenagers were no longer in the café. No one seemed to realize it either, as any memory of the teenagers being there had been wiped as the light had appeared…

Lucas was the first to stir, first noting that he was really hot, and next noting that he was no longer in the café. It took a few seconds for that to register before he blinked, and then proceeded to freak out, standing and running to each of his separate friends, shaking them in turn, trying to wake them up. He ignored the pounding headache in his head, as his first priority was waking up his friends. "Anastasie! Henri! Tristan! Virginie!" He called, one after the other, and eventually, the other four began to stir.

"I was enjoying my- We're not in the café!"

"No. We're not." Tristan answered Henri, sighing, as the first thing that was going to come out of his mouth involved him sleeping.

"My computer!" Exclaimed Virginie, rummaging through her bag, paying no mind to the fact that she wasn't in the café anymore, and sighed happily, realizing that her computer was with her… along with everything else in her bag. Then it she took notice of the world around her, and looked down at what she was wearing. Her clothes had changed… and so had all her friends clothes. She noted this as she looked around, observing her friends. She was now wearing a neon orange long sleeved shirt, and a pair of normal blue jeans. Her black hair was pulled back into two long French braids, and she was wearing a lime green bucket hat.

"Awesome!" grinned Anastasie, she had noticed her new clothes, which consisted of Dark Green and White striped long sleeved shirt, and a pair of khaki shorts. Her light red hair was pulled back into a long braid that ran down her back. "I love these clothes." She grinned.

"I hate these clothes!" Frowned Lucas, as he pulled at the dark red pants that he was wearing, and the black shirt he was wearing. His usually messy brown hair was spiked, and no matter what he did, he couldn't make his hair the least bit unruly.

Tristan seemed rather indifferent to what he was wearing, as he thought he would look cool no matter what, even if he was wearing a clown outfit. It was far from a clown outfit though, as he wore black pants, and a light green shirt, and his light blond hair was perfect, as it was usually for him.

Henri also didn't really care, as he was still waking up from the unexpected nap. He himself was wearing something simple, and soft, and it felt like a pair of pajamas, even though it wasn't. He was wearing a pair of blue jean shorts, and was wearing a yellow turtleneck, with a dark blue vest.

"So… wherever we ended up, we got a clothes change…" Henri said slowly, digesting the information as fast as he could with his sleep fogged mind.

"Seems so," answered Lucas. It was then that he took the time to look and up and nearly knocked over Anastasie. "What the heck are those things!?" He exclaimed seeing a bunch of monsters staring at him and his friends. "They're just staring at us…"

"Well, I'll go see what they are." Answered Tristan, standing up.

"They could eat you or something!" Lucas wailed, clearly panicking at the site of the unknown creatures.

"They look harmless." He said, pointing at the five creatures, but jumped back as a white puffball with rabbit ears and a purple striped fox tail jumped at him, "I'm your partner!" It cried, and as Tristan fell on his back, the small creature jumped on his chest and sat there.

"You're WHAT!?" cried Tristan, as the other creatures jumped at the rest of the kids, one for each.

Anastasie yelped as another pink doglike creature tackled her, exclaiming the same thing, that they were partners. Virginie caught the purple creature as it came towards her, having been ready, and she looked at it curiously. This solidified the whole idea that she and her friends weren't on earth anymore in her opinion. She then looked around curiously, watching her friends reactions, as they each either got tackled, or caught their own little monster. Lucas caught what looked like a very minature sun, and yelped in fear so loudly, that the monster plopped down to his feet, and stared up at him, while another, dark grey seal looking creature hopped up into the arms of Henri.

"We're your partner Digimon!" They all exclaimed at the same exact time.

"What are Digimon…?" Asked Virginie, looking at the purple creature in her arms.

"I'm sorry if we scared you guys… I'm Moonmon." Answered Moonmon, and then the others proceeded to introduce themselves to the kids in turn.

"I'm Shaomon." Grinned the little pink puppy that was now in Anastasie's arms, "It's great to meet you." He said politely.

"I'm Bukamon!" Said the one Henri had, as he stared down at him, and he said it so full of energy, that Henri winced, and the boy couldn't help but wonder how something could be so absolutely hyper, not even Anastasie could be this hyper, and she was the most hyper one in the group.

"I'm Kyaromon." said the little fox thing that was on Tristan's chest. "I already love you!" He said, and Tristan couldn't help but roll his eyes at the cute little digimon on his chest. Of course it would end up him being paired with the one who was so full of love that it would explode if anymore love was made apparent.

Lucas however, was not having as easy a time seeing the monsters as his friends had. He was terrified as he stared at the little sun thing in his arms, and stared in silent horror as it introduced himself. "I'm Sunmon!" He exclaimed cheerfully, but sensed the horror that his new partner was feeling. "I'm sorry if I scared you…" He said, feeling a bit sad that he had scared his poor, and hopefully new, friend.

Unfortunately, it was at that time that all the teenagers attention was drawn away to stare at a large fiery looking digimon and their little Digimon jumped away. "Look in your pockets!" Cried Moonmon, and the five teenagers reached into the pockets cautiously, and all pulled out a little machine. "It's a digivice!" Moonmon added, "Help us digivolve!" She cried, and the digivices all began to vibrate.

"Moonmon digivolve tooooooooo Lunamon!"

"Bukamon digivolve toooooooo Gomamon!"

"Kyaromon digivolve toooooooo Kudamon!"

"Shaomon digivolve toooooooo Labramon!"

"Sunmon digivolve toooooooo Coronamon!"

Five new digimon stood where their tiny ones had been, and the five teenagers could only stare in wonder as they each shouted various attacks, allowing them to fly and hit the digimon.

"Corona Flame!" Cried Coronamon, and flames came out of what appeared to be a burning hole on the top of his head, flying towards the Meramon who had been threatening their partners.

"Crystal Aura!" Called Kudamon, and the earring on one of his weasel like ears glowed brightly, bathing the Meramon in a bunch of light.

"Retrieve Bark!" Yelled Labramon, before barking, loudly, causing the Meramon to cower, covering it's ears, Gomamon taking the chance to attack.

"Marching Fishes!" He called loudly, and many fish flew out of the water, attacking the Meramon, hitting him into submission.

Finally, "Luna Claw!" Called Lunamon, and she slashed at the Meramon. The digimon didn't even allow the Meramon to attack before the giant flaming monster ran off in fear, leaving the group alone, and the group of teenagers just stared, wide eyed. Even Virginie couldn't get over the shock of what had just happened, and she was usually the quickest to get over and respond to situations.

The children have gathered together, and soon they would finally understand and meet the darkness that was coming.
