DIGIMON INFINITY
EPISODE 2: HERE WE ARE! THE DIGITAL WORLD ON THE OTHER SIDE!
As the sun rose from behind the buildings, the rays soon reached the sleepy eyes of our teenage girl Lexis. When the sun's rays went directly into her eyes she grumbled, she got up to close the curtains and went back into bed. As she was about to fall asleep into a very deep slumber, her door swung opened, "LEXIS LEXIS! COME ON HON!! RISE AND SHINE! YOU CAN'T SLEEP THE WHOLE DAY AWAY!! YOUR BREAKFEAST IS GETTING COLD!"
Lexis gave a tired moan ~ Thanks for the news flash mom, just what I don't need in the morning..A mom alarm clock~ Lexis sighed when she thought about it, and then she tried to get out of bed when something jumped on her instantly that she didn't have time to react."HEY SIS! WAKEY WAKEY!! LETS PLAY NOW!! COME ON!"
It was her little brother Mazu; he was bouncing up and down on her bed, and grabbing her harshly as he was still whining. Lexis finally flipped him off her back, gasping for air "Cough...when.. I.. Get…my..Hands.. On…you…I'm..going..to.... STRANGLE YOUR LITTLE TWIG NECK UNTIL IT BREAKS OFF!"
So the chase was on her little brother Mazu (9-yrs old) ran laughing with joy! As Lexis (15 year old) was as mad as a horned bull, who was just flashed by a red cape!
They were chasing all around the house, knocking things down, jumping on furniture. While they were running in the house she was able to catch Mazu by jumping on him. He shrieked when she was headlocking him down on the floor.
"I'm sorry niichan! I'm sorry! It won't happen again I promise!"
He was whining as he was pleading for help. Mazu was saved by the doorbell, and Lexis unlocked his head, "Don't ever try that again or else!"
She stated with an evil glare. Her little brother went running for his life, crying his eyes out. As Lexis was heading to the door, it just automatically opened right in her face as the unexpected "guest" arrived, "HELLO? LEXIS! LEXIS! WHERE ARE YOU?"
Sure enough it was Oki; he was Lexis closest friend in the entire world.
As he was walking around the apartment he started to hear a faint sound right behind him, when he turned around he wished that he regretted what was going to happen.
Lexis's eyes were bright red and glaring right at Oki! When he saw Lexis had a big old red spot right on her face as she was knocked down by Oki, his only reply when he face was puffed up trying to hold in his laughter, but couldn't hold in much longer so he let out his laughter and falling on the ground. She was stomping her feet right passed him. "Ya know Oki, its bad enough that I have to suffer from you than my brother everyday of the week!" As she was yelling at Oki.
As he was done laughing, he got up and dried his laughter tears from his eyes
"Awww, I'm sorry Lexis but it was funny I couldn't help but laugh that big red spot on your face! But anyways are you ready? We have to leave in about 5 minutes.
As she was going to complain, she stopped puzzled, "What are you talking about Oki? Where are we going?" Then he was puzzled and annoyed, "Lexis don't you remember we have that big camping trip today, don't you remember?"
All was silent until all the birds were flying away and she was yelling in dismay
"WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH IT WAS TODAY! OH NO OH NO OH NO!!! OKI QUICK GO TO MY ROOM AND PACK EVERYTHING!! WAHHHHH I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING TO ME! Oki just sweatdropped and said in dismay, "Lexis what I'm I going to do with you?"
***********
At about noon, Lexis and Oki made it to the camping bus as soon as it was about to leave. They both sighed in relief, " Well Lexis we finally made it! Maybe next time you better get a planner and write things down!" Lexis gave him the sorry face and scratching the back of her head, " Look Oki, I'm sorry I didn't remember but at least we got here, and I promise you that I will never forget again! Pinky promise?"
With that their pinkies entwined together for the ultimate promise. They both laughed, until Lexis remembered something and when she went through her backpack she brought out a sketchbook. "Oki, check this out! I was up all night drawing some background on what the digital world would look like if we were there!"
She handed it to him and he saw beautiful forests, temples, cities, towns, sea port towns, and… "Hey Lexis what is that?" she looked to where Oki was pointing.
"Oh that, that's just my version of a digivice! I called it a D-ComZero."
"It's a highly equipped computer digivice that has a voice and tells you the stats, attacks, attribute, and personal data on a digimon plus it has a 3D map that can pinpoint any direction you go! Oh I forgot, it also stores in items for a digimon like a backpack just point and it will transfer to the digivice! Pretty impressed huh?"
Oki just stared at her and replied, " I think you are a geek" As he was looking at the pages of her drawings she drew, she stared at him with her mouth hanging, and turned her head sharply at the window. Oki was looking over and said,
"I was just kidding! Jeez can't ya take a joke? I think your ideas are great! Really I do" as Oki was smiling at her. She looked at his smile and sighed," All right, but just remember that you won't be so lucky next time you make a joke! Check this one out!"
She was pointing to the pictures of other digimon wearing some clothes, ECT. and all they talked about was digimon till they got to the camping site.
*************
At exactly 2:00 p.m. all the school buses arrived at the campsite named "Odaiba". As everyone got out of the buses, all the kids from 8th grade to the 10th grade made straight lines in front of their teachers and classmates.
Before the counselors arrived to give them instructions, most of all the kids and teachers got a good view of what the camp site looked like.
Everyone was in astonishment; there were Sakura cherry blossum trees everywhere, the Houjin Lake was beautiful with its clear blue water, they could smell the forest pine trees a mile away, and the mountains were reddish with snow on top of them, and the camp houses looked really nice, they were designed as old time Japanese houses with the slide in doors, and flat rooftop.
Soon the site seeing was over when the counselors soon arrived to give them a warm welcoming," Hello all you happy campers! My name is Shisan, and this is your other counselor Tamaki, we will be your guides, and best friends for the rest of this summer!!!! Isn't this exciting?
Everyone was just staring at them like they were from another planet
"Ok lets get moving shall we? All right!! As you go to the numbered cabins, you will receive your first assignments and activities for the next 4 weeks, then rotate to other activities!" Lexis was too busy looking at all of her surroundings, she became marveled at the beautiful landscaping, all of the sudden, she saw a shadowed figure zooming across trees at high speed, then vanished!
"Hey Oki, did you see that!"
"Hmmm see what?"
She looked back and saw nothing "Oh! But I couldn't sworn I saw something in the trees!"
"Sure ya did Lexis"
"Alright campers!! Does everybody know where they are going? Great! You can go straight to your cabins, and see you tomorrow at the meeting spot in 15 minutes!"
The counselor Shisan soon walked off and the rest of the students went to their designated cabin, all except Lexis and Oki, which they didn't listen, and was clueless.
"Wait where was I supposed to go?" Both said in confusion.
***********
The camp soon got dark, but luckily they found their designated cabins and were off. Oki's cabin was near the Houjin Lake, and Lexis's cabin was up on a hill with the moonlight illuminating the near by shrine!
Lexis slid the door to her cabin and walked in, there she saw were girls talking, putting on make-up and having pillow fights, she already felt she was at home. She went to her bed and rolled out her sleeping bag when a girl walked up to her looking at her directly into her face.
"So we got ourselves a new kid down the block"
Lexis was amazed what she saw. This girl was about 5'6" and looked like she was 16, she was wearing little round sunglasses and her hair was light purple! Plus her right eye was covered with little black tattoos and wore long sleeves with a jacket open showing her black smooth silky shirt. Her pants were also baggy and shoes were like army boots.
"The name is Reiko Ursula, I am a digimon card player and I never lost a match" She looked over to see Lexis has some digimon cards too, "so you play digimon too? Well why don't we start playing hmm? What is your name anyway?"
She stated her name with full confidence, "My name is Lexis"
Reiko just chuckled, Well Lexis I hope that you will give me a worthy battle"
Lexis stared hard into those eyes that were hidden behind those sunglasses she wore. "Let's battle"
With a split second she already had her deck out, "I'm ready whenever you are"
All the girls in the cabin were getting excited about a card battle, because they have never seen one! So all of them made a circle around the players and were chatting one another.
"I bet that blue-haired one will win ten yen says she does!"
"No way! Its that Reiko chick! She always wins!"
Lexis kneeled down in front of her and brought her first card without hesitation, "I call upon the Renamon card!" She slammed it faced it down, Reiko brought out the Gabumon card and faced it towards Lexis.
"Ha! This is going to be easy! She just brought out a gabumon card! Aha what a chump this match is mine!" Without a second thought, Lexis reached out a pulled the card from her deck. Reiko just has her eyes closed as in meditation.
Lexis soon smiled and brought out the ultimate card " HERE IT IS! THE EVOLUTION CARD TO MAKE MY RENAMON EVOLVE TO KYUUBIMON!"
She soon looked into her eyes and smiled an evil smile! And spoke with triumph and pride,"What do you think about that Miss champion of the card game hahahahaha!"
"Don't get to cocky kid"
Lexis laughing came to a halt, "Hahah….huh? What are you talking about! My Kyuubimon will finish you of---!" Reiko cut her out, "On the second hand, you could of evolve, but sadly my evolve block card blocked out your evolution, so I get the upper hand and use a Power Up card" she said calmly and with ease.
She slammed them down next to Lexis cards, and sure enough she was right. She had the evolution block card and used a Power Up card and her Gabumon was stronger than her Renamon! "Gabumon use Blue Blaster!"
It was over. Reiko won the match, and Lexis was dead shocked. "Well it was nice playing with you, but you still need more practice kid maybe next time"
Lexis soon reached back to her normal state and shouted, "DON'T WORRY! I WILL GET SO MUCH PRACTICE THAT I CAN BEAT YOU WITH MY HANDS TIED BEHIND MY BACK! I WILL BE YOUR ULTIMATE RIVAL NO MATTER WHAT AND I WILL BEAT YOU!!!!!!"
Reiko just said "whatever" and went to her bunk bed and slept. The rest of the girls were sad that the match was over, and soon walked to their beds and slept through the night, except for Lexis who was still watching at Reiko with determination and frustration.
Lexis just turned around and went to her bunk bed, and was going to talk to Oki about her run in with a champion card player, but before she went to sleep, she thought to her self. "How did she know I had that card?"
Early next morning, all of the campers got out of their cabins and went to the area they were supposed to meet. They were all meeting near the shrine, which is near Lexis's cabin. Along the way Lexis saw Reiko out of the crowd leaning on a tree like a loner. ~Typical~ she smiled at that response.
Then she saw a 11 year old boy who had blue hair, with a red shirt over a white shirt and some dark blue pants was also alone and looking sad. Lexis felt bad for him so she went up to talk to him.
"Hi! My name is Lexis!" The boy didn't look up to see her eyes.
"Um.. Are you alright kid?" The boy looked up and has tears in his eyes. Her eyes were big and gasped, "Hey! Are you all right kid? Why are you crying"
He tried his best to talk between chokes and sobs," Sniff...sniff...I haven't been.... Sniff...away from home for so long.... and I am home sick..sniff.... sniff...I wanna go home!!" he then started to cry.
Lexis didn't know what to do! She had never been in this sort of situation before so without thinking she pulled him in for a comforting hug and telling him slowly, "Don't cry don't cry! I know how you feel! But...uh... crying isn't going to help you get back home now is it?" he shook his head for a "no".
"Listen, I know you are upset that you are far away from you parents, but...um... you know this is an opportunity for you! Yea that's right!"He looked at her with a puzzle look, "An opportunity? To do what?"
Lexis thought for a moment then snapped her fingers "The opportunity to make new friends! Having a good time, and doing fun activities!"
She was doing all sorts of poses like a model in a mocking sort of way, which made him, laugh. Lexis was confused, "Hey why are you laughing? Ok! So I am not that great of a motivated speaker! But you know what I mean? Right?"
He shook his head, "Yes I know! But I am laughing because I know you are trying to cheer me up! I am glad that I met you Lexis my name is Taka!"
"Well Taka! How about you and me get to know each other a bit more! Like how a young kid like you is in the 8th grade? Taka was surprised into why she wanted to know, "Well you see I am more advanced so they moved me into the 8th grade!" he smiled brightly. How weird is this! She shook off that comment and extended her hand,
"Well lets get goin!" she smiled, and then Taka smiled back and took her hand. They walked together in holding hands until she looks back at Reiko. She yelled, "HEY REIKO! WANNA JOIN US?"
Reiko looked up to find her waving out to her to come over; she reluctantly leaned forward and walked towards Lexis and Taka. Reiko came to stop when she was next to Lexis and smiled, "So what about that whole "rival" nonsense you were yelling after I defeated you hmm?"
Lexis just gave a sly grin and rubbing the back of her head, "Oh! Eheheh didn't know you were listening, but I am your rival! And I will beat you!"
Lexis was waving her finger at her face and Reiko just waved a "whatever" signal.
Lexis started to say something until she heard her name called out; Oki was waving to her! She smiled, "Hey Taka I will be right back!"
She dashed over to meet up with Oki, and another girl was behind him. "Hey Oki!" She then looked over his shoulder to see whom it was, and grinned
"Who is that? Your new girlfriend?" she nudged him in the stomach, "Quit kidding around Lexis! He said as he was blushing bright red, "This is my sister Luna. Luna this is my best friend Lexis!"
She bowed down and spoke quietly, "Konnichwa, My name is Luna it is a pleasure to meet you, I have been hearing alot of stories about you!"
"Huh? Wow I'm I that famous here hahahah maybe I should write you an autograph! Hahahah"
Oki just sighed, Luna giggled, and Lexis was still laughing. The laughter was over, when the counselors arrived and now making announcements.
"Hello campers! I hope you all had a good night sleep! Well today we will be starting our activities but first we would like to tell you a story about this Shrine to better understand its true nature!" she walked toward the old shrine that looks to be an old cave full of ribbons tied around some rocks.
Everybody was all sitting down in a row to hear the story. She started to speak quietly, almost whispers of the wind, "Many centuries ago, there was a Great War in ancient Japan who were fighting an evil spirit that took form of a dark, powerful dragon."
Lexis, Oki, and Luna were getting very interested in the story, as they were leaning in so they could hear a bit more clearly.
"Yes, it was an endless battle of good vs. Evil. All hope seemed lost until 8 legendary warriors stood up and fought against the evil dragon. It was an endless battle until they combined their powers together to defeat the foe. They had succeed of sealing the evil spirit and was never awoken again."
When she finished telling the story everyone was clapping and whistling. Lexis, Oki, and Luna were also clapping for a wonderful legend. When they were done clapping, she announced, "Well we ought to go to our activities now! So lets go campers!" they all marched in a single file.
Everyone was gone except for Lexis, Oki, Luna, Taka, Reiko, and three other kids.
They all stood there; looking at the shrine as if someone was controlling them or into a trance, all was silent until Lexis was the first to walk toward the shrine. As she was approaching, a hand grabbed her arm, "Lexis! What are doing? Do you want to get into trouble?" She whirled around and was up to his face.
"Listen Oki! There is something in there that is giving me the chills in my spine and I am going to find out what it is!"Oki made a grim face; he had never Lexis like this before.
Lexis was tapping her feet in frustration until Reiko spoke up, "I say we go inside, I feel an uneasy spiritual force around here, and inside might be the cause of it."
One of the three kids spoke up; the first one was Yurika, "Hmm sounds tempting peeps! Whadda ya think Rei?"
Rei was silent the whole time and he finally spoke up,"Why not? I need a little break once in a while! Ne Jiro?" Jiro was the eccentric kid that has been on his laptop for quite some time, he removed his goggles and exclaimed, "WHOO HOO AN ADVENTURE! ME WANT TO GO! WHERE EVER REI GOES! JIRO GOES TOO!" he was jumping up and down in excitement.
"Alright! It is settled! Let's go inside!" Reiko shouted, everyone was going to the shrine all except Oki who was still thinking of the consequences of going to a sacred shrine.
A hand touched his shoulder, he turned around and saw his sister giving him a reassuring smile, "Come on onichan! This could be exciting!"
Oki gave her an anger tone, "How can you say that Luna! You might get in trouble, and how I am going to explain to mom and dad if we were caught in this shrine!"
She stared at Oki, she whispered into his ear and walked into the shrine. Oki was confused.
He thought of what she said, and when it finally hit him he ran into the shrine to join the others.
***********
As they were walking through the big shrine, they observed of what was around them.
There were lamps on the walkway so they could see where they were going. They also saw some statues of warriors and rulers that may have been here, and most of the shrine was decorated in jewels than just rock and rubble.
They stopped to find a dead in."Well this stinks! We come all this way just to find a dead in!" Lexis shouted as she was leaning onto the wall with her elbow.
"Well maybe there is a secret passage way!" said Taka
They nodded their heads in agreement and started to search for a secret entrance, Lexis was still leaning onto the wall, until she heard voices. Lexis shook her head and was leaning her ear against the wall. "Hey guys I think I found the entrance!" Lexis shouted
They were all running towards her and agreed to push the wall to see if there was an entrance, and in a moment it magically opened. All they saw was darkness."Uh alright um who wants to go first?" Lexis said shakily
Everybody had a grim face or looking into the wall whistling. All seemed a total waste until they heard a voice yelling, "Hey guys! Wait up!" it was Oki and was running really fast!"OKI, DON'T RUN SO FAST! STOP STOP STOP!"
Everybody was shouting him to stop, but he couldn't, so before long he bumped into everyone and everyone fell into the darkness.
***********
"So Oki what changed your mind?"
"A little saying called Carpe Diem!"
"Less chit chatter, more moving!
Everyone was on top of each other, feet's on face, faces on floors and arms bent out of shape. They quickly detached them selves and without a moments glance they saw an ancient mural!
Above the mural was some ancient language. On the mural was a planet that was different from earth. Then the mural from the left to the end of it was a battle between the dark spirit and the 8 warriors. The kids were looking at the warriors
They all walked up together to view the pictures a bit closer. The 8 legendary warriors were all in they're fighting poses and saw some creatures that looks like they are protecting and fighting beside the warriors.
They also checked out their magnificent weapons that they have, they also looked at the evil dragon who took a frightening and powerful form,"Wow! Aren't they cool Oki?
Oki nodded, "They sure are Lexis! What do you think Luna?
"Hmmm" she walked up closer and pointed to one of the pictures to ask him, "Does this warrior seem to resemble Lexis?"
"Huh?" Lexis ran up to where Luna was pointing and sure enough that warrior looked like her! The warrior looked like it was about to stab the creature with her great sword. "They didn't quite get my good looks and my hair is just a mess!" Lexis saying in disapprovement.
Everyone just laughed in distress. She looked over to her right, "Oki! Luna! There are some pictures that look like you too!"
They both ran up and were staring in shock. The other warrior that looked like Oki was holding a staff and looked like he was chanting a spell, the warrior Luna saw looks like in a fighting mode with her fists pounding the creature.
Taka came from behind Lexis; "Hey what's all the yelling about?"
When he looked up his eyes started to grow big, "OH MY GOD! LOOK AT THAT!"
The three of them stared at the picture Taka was pointed at. The warrior that looked like him had 4 long angel wings on each side, and was holding a long bow with an arrow of light. "I'm an angel!" Taka was getting all blushie about it; everyone was falling on the floor with exaggeration.
"Is that all you can say! I thought you be shocked, but I guess embarrassment does not cross you" "But why do they look like us?" said Taka in wonder.
The four of them then turned around to see the other four is looking at some different pictures. Reiko, Yurika, Rei, and Jiro were looking at the other warriors in astonishment and were saying the exact same things as they saw them,
"They look like us, but why? Do we have some connection to this legend? Our are ancestors involves with this?" Reiko was asking a lot of questions to her self, while the others were listening to her.
Everyone was quiet until Lexis broke the silence
"I don't know about you guys, but I think we should find an exit to this place before everybody gets worried." She was walking until she saw an object covered with a white sheet. "Hmmm I wonder what's under there?" Lexis pondered
She walked towards the object and took off the sheet; she was disappointed when she realized what she found. "It's just a stupid mirror!"
"It doesn't look stupid to me" She turned around to find Taka behind her giving her a warm smile, "Well, the design looks cool but still, it's just a mirror"
As Lexis was looking around the mirror, Taka was beginning to see things when the light was suddenly growing bright
"Um Lexis? I think there is something wrong with the mirror!" Lexis gave him an annoyed look, "What do you mean Taka? There is nothing wrong here, it's just your imagination!"
"No really! Look behind you Lexis!" When she turned around she saw the mirror growing much brighter than before and turned into a swirling vortex.
Everyone heard Lexis's screaming was running to see what is going on. They all struck dead when they saw Lexis being sucked into the mirror and Taka holding her hand, trying to resist being sucked in too.
"We gotta help them!" Luna shouted everyone agreed, and made a human chain to hold everyone for not slipping into the vortex. They were trying within their power to reach Lexis, when suddenly a giant hand grabbed Lexis's legs and pulled her in,
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Lexis screamed
LEXIS! Everyone was yelling her name until they were sucked into the vortex. They were swirling into an endless data stream, till they were at the end of the light.
All they could see as they were falling from the deep blue sky, is an island of paradise and other islands scattered around and in the sky was a majestic castle, like a home for angels. The teenaged children were going to separate directions of the biggest island and find out their true destiny and fate.
**Oh no! Well they find out who they really are? Well they ever find each other? Stay tuned for the next episode: ** WARRIOR REBORN! SWORD OF INFINITY!

"Oh that, that's just my version of a digivice! I called it a D-ComZero."
"It's a highly equipped computer digivice that has a voice and tells you the stats, attacks, attribute, and personal data on a digimon plus it has a 3D map that can pinpoint any direction you go!

"The name is Reiko Ursula, I am a digimon card player and I never lost a match" She looked over to see Lexis has some digimon cards too, "so you play digimon too? Well why don't we start playing hmm? What is your name anyway?"
She stated her name with full confidence, "My name is Lexis"
Reiko just chuckled, Well Lexis I hope that you will give me a worthy battle"
Lexis stared hard into those eyes that were hidden behind those sunglasses she wore. "Let's battle"
With a split second she already had her deck out, "I'm ready whenever you are"
All the girls in the cabin were getting excited about a card battle, because they have never seen one! So all of them made a circle around the players and were chatting one another.
"I bet that blue-haired one will win ten yen says she does!"
"No way! Its that Reiko chick! She always wins!"
Lexis kneeled down in front of her and brought her first card without hesitation, "I call upon the Renamon card!" She slammed it faced it down, Reiko brought out the Gabumon card and faced it towards Lexis.
"Ha! This is going to be easy! She just brought out a gabumon card! Aha what a chump this match is mine!" Without a second thought, Lexis reached out a pulled the card from her deck. Reiko just has her eyes closed as in meditation.
Lexis soon smiled and brought out the ultimate card " HERE IT IS! THE EVOLUTION CARD TO MAKE MY RENAMON EVOLVE TO KYUUBIMON!"
She soon looked into her eyes and smiled an evil smile! And spoke with triumph and pride,"What do you think about that Miss champion of the card game hahahahaha!"
"Don't get to cocky kid"
Lexis laughing came to a halt, "Hahah….huh? What are you talking about! My Kyuubimon will finish you of---!" Reiko cut her out, "On the second hand, you could of evolve, but sadly my evolve block card blocked out your evolution, so I get the upper hand and use a Power Up card" she said calmly and with ease.
She slammed them down next to Lexis cards, and sure enough she was right. She had the evolution block card and used a Power Up card and her Gabumon was stronger than her Renamon! "Gabumon use Blue Blaster!"
It was over. Reiko won the match, and Lexis was dead shocked. "Well it was nice playing with you, but you still need more practice kid maybe next time"
Lexis soon reached back to her normal state and shouted, "DON'T WORRY! I WILL GET SO MUCH PRACTICE THAT I CAN BEAT YOU WITH MY HANDS TIED BEHIND MY BACK! I WILL BE YOUR ULTIMATE RIVAL NO MATTER WHAT AND I WILL BEAT YOU!!!!!!"
Reiko just said "whatever" and went to her bunk bed and slept. The rest of the girls were sad that the match was over, and soon walked to their beds and slept through the night, except for Lexis who was still watching at Reiko with determination and frustration.
Lexis just turned around and went to her bunk bed, and was going to talk to Oki about her run in with a champion card player, but before she went to sleep, she thought to her self. "How did she know I had that card?"
Early next morning, all of the campers got out of their cabins and went to the area they were supposed to meet. They were all meeting near the shrine, which is near Lexis's cabin. Along the way Lexis saw Reiko out of the crowd leaning on a tree like a loner. ~Typical~ she smiled at that response.
Then she saw a 11 year old boy who had blue hair, with a red shirt over a white shirt and some dark blue pants was also alone and looking sad. Lexis felt bad for him so she went up to talk to him.
"Hi! My name is Lexis!" The boy didn't look up to see her eyes.
"Um.. Are you alright kid?" The boy looked up and has tears in his eyes. Her eyes were big and gasped, "Hey! Are you all right kid? Why are you crying"
He tried his best to talk between chokes and sobs," Sniff...sniff...I haven't been.... Sniff...away from home for so long.... and I am home sick..sniff.... sniff...I wanna go home!!" he then started to cry.
Lexis didn't know what to do! She had never been in this sort of situation before so without thinking she pulled him in for a comforting hug and telling him slowly, "Don't cry don't cry! I know how you feel! But...uh... crying isn't going to help you get back home now is it?" he shook his head for a "no".
"Listen, I know you are upset that you are far away from you parents, but...um... you know this is an opportunity for you! Yea that's right!"He looked at her with a puzzle look, "An opportunity? To do what?"
Lexis thought for a moment then snapped her fingers "The opportunity to make new friends! Having a good time, and doing fun activities!"
She was doing all sorts of poses like a model in a mocking sort of way, which made him, laugh. Lexis was confused, "Hey why are you laughing? Ok! So I am not that great of a motivated speaker! But you know what I mean? Right?"
He shook his head, "Yes I know! But I am laughing because I know you are trying to cheer me up! I am glad that I met you Lexis my name is Taka!"
"Well Taka! How about you and me get to know each other a bit more! Like how a young kid like you is in the 8th grade? Taka was surprised into why she wanted to know, "Well you see I am more advanced so they moved me into the 8th grade!" he smiled brightly. How weird is this! She shook off that comment and extended her hand,
"Well lets get goin!" she smiled, and then Taka smiled back and took her hand. They walked together in holding hands until she looks back at Reiko. She yelled, "HEY REIKO! WANNA JOIN US?"
Reiko looked up to find her waving out to her to come over; she reluctantly leaned forward and walked towards Lexis and Taka. Reiko came to stop when she was next to Lexis and smiled, "So what about that whole "rival" nonsense you were yelling after I defeated you hmm?"
Lexis just gave a sly grin and rubbing the back of her head, "Oh! Eheheh didn't know you were listening, but I am your rival! And I will beat you!"
Lexis was waving her finger at her face and Reiko just waved a "whatever" signal.
Lexis started to say something until she heard her name called out; Oki was waving to her! She smiled, "Hey Taka I will be right back!"
She dashed over to meet up with Oki, and another girl was behind him. "Hey Oki!" She then looked over his shoulder to see whom it was, and grinned
"Who is that? Your new girlfriend?" she nudged him in the stomach, "Quit kidding around Lexis! He said as he was blushing bright red, "This is my sister Luna. Luna this is my best friend Lexis!"
She bowed down and spoke quietly, "Konnichwa, My name is Luna it is a pleasure to meet you, I have been hearing alot of stories about you!"
"Huh? Wow I'm I that famous here hahahah maybe I should write you an autograph! Hahahah"
Oki just sighed, Luna giggled, and Lexis was still laughing. The laughter was over, when the counselors arrived and now making announcements.
"Hello campers! I hope you all had a good night sleep! Well today we will be starting our activities but first we would like to tell you a story about this Shrine to better understand its true nature!" she walked toward the old shrine that looks to be an old cave full of ribbons tied around some rocks.
Everybody was all sitting down in a row to hear the story. She started to speak quietly, almost whispers of the wind, "Many centuries ago, there was a Great War in ancient Japan who were fighting an evil spirit that took form of a dark, powerful dragon."
Lexis, Oki, and Luna were getting very interested in the story, as they were leaning in so they could hear a bit more clearly.
"Yes, it was an endless battle of good vs. Evil. All hope seemed lost until 8 legendary warriors stood up and fought against the evil dragon. It was an endless battle until they combined their powers together to defeat the foe. They had succeed of sealing the evil spirit and was never awoken again."
When she finished telling the story everyone was clapping and whistling. Lexis, Oki, and Luna were also clapping for a wonderful legend. When they were done clapping, she announced, "Well we ought to go to our activities now! So lets go campers!" they all marched in a single file.
Everyone was gone except for Lexis, Oki, Luna, Taka, Reiko, and three other kids.
They all stood there; looking at the shrine as if someone was controlling them or into a trance, all was silent until Lexis was the first to walk toward the shrine. As she was approaching, a hand grabbed her arm, "Lexis! What are doing? Do you want to get into trouble?" She whirled around and was up to his face.
"Listen Oki! There is something in there that is giving me the chills in my spine and I am going to find out what it is!"Oki made a grim face; he had never Lexis like this before.
Lexis was tapping her feet in frustration until Reiko spoke up, "I say we go inside, I feel an uneasy spiritual force around here, and inside might be the cause of it."
One of the three kids spoke up; the first one was Yurika, "Hmm sounds tempting peeps! Whadda ya think Rei?"
Rei was silent the whole time and he finally spoke up,"Why not? I need a little break once in a while! Ne Jiro?" Jiro was the eccentric kid that has been on his laptop for quite some time, he removed his goggles and exclaimed, "WHOO HOO AN ADVENTURE! ME WANT TO GO! WHERE EVER REI GOES! JIRO GOES TOO!" he was jumping up and down in excitement.
"Alright! It is settled! Let's go inside!" Reiko shouted, everyone was going to the shrine all except Oki who was still thinking of the consequences of going to a sacred shrine.
A hand touched his shoulder, he turned around and saw his sister giving him a reassuring smile, "Come on onichan! This could be exciting!"
Oki gave her an anger tone, "How can you say that Luna! You might get in trouble, and how I am going to explain to mom and dad if we were caught in this shrine!"
She stared at Oki, she whispered into his ear and walked into the shrine. Oki was confused.
He thought of what she said, and when it finally hit him he ran into the shrine to join the others.
***********
As they were walking through the big shrine, they observed of what was around them.
There were lamps on the walkway so they could see where they were going. They also saw some statues of warriors and rulers that may have been here, and most of the shrine was decorated in jewels than just rock and rubble.
They stopped to find a dead in."Well this stinks! We come all this way just to find a dead in!" Lexis shouted as she was leaning onto the wall with her elbow.
"Well maybe there is a secret passage way!" said Taka
They nodded their heads in agreement and started to search for a secret entrance, Lexis was still leaning onto the wall, until she heard voices. Lexis shook her head and was leaning her ear against the wall. "Hey guys I think I found the entrance!" Lexis shouted
They were all running towards her and agreed to push the wall to see if there was an entrance, and in a moment it magically opened. All they saw was darkness."Uh alright um who wants to go first?" Lexis said shakily
Everybody had a grim face or looking into the wall whistling. All seemed a total waste until they heard a voice yelling, "Hey guys! Wait up!" it was Oki and was running really fast!"OKI, DON'T RUN SO FAST! STOP STOP STOP!"
Everybody was shouting him to stop, but he couldn't, so before long he bumped into everyone and everyone fell into the darkness.
***********
"So Oki what changed your mind?"
"A little saying called Carpe Diem!"
"Less chit chatter, more moving!
Everyone was on top of each other, feet's on face, faces on floors and arms bent out of shape. They quickly detached them selves and without a moments glance they saw an ancient mural!
Above the mural was some ancient language. On the mural was a planet that was different from earth. Then the mural from the left to the end of it was a battle between the dark spirit and the 8 warriors. The kids were looking at the warriors
They all walked up together to view the pictures a bit closer. The 8 legendary warriors were all in they're fighting poses and saw some creatures that looks like they are protecting and fighting beside the warriors.
They also checked out their magnificent weapons that they have, they also looked at the evil dragon who took a frightening and powerful form,"Wow! Aren't they cool Oki?
Oki nodded, "They sure are Lexis! What do you think Luna?
"Hmmm" she walked up closer and pointed to one of the pictures to ask him, "Does this warrior seem to resemble Lexis?"
"Huh?" Lexis ran up to where Luna was pointing and sure enough that warrior looked like her! The warrior looked like it was about to stab the creature with her great sword. "They didn't quite get my good looks and my hair is just a mess!" Lexis saying in disapprovement.
Everyone just laughed in distress. She looked over to her right, "Oki! Luna! There are some pictures that look like you too!"
They both ran up and were staring in shock. The other warrior that looked like Oki was holding a staff and looked like he was chanting a spell, the warrior Luna saw looks like in a fighting mode with her fists pounding the creature.
Taka came from behind Lexis; "Hey what's all the yelling about?"
When he looked up his eyes started to grow big, "OH MY GOD! LOOK AT THAT!"
The three of them stared at the picture Taka was pointed at. The warrior that looked like him had 4 long angel wings on each side, and was holding a long bow with an arrow of light. "I'm an angel!" Taka was getting all blushie about it; everyone was falling on the floor with exaggeration.
"Is that all you can say! I thought you be shocked, but I guess embarrassment does not cross you" "But why do they look like us?" said Taka in wonder.
The four of them then turned around to see the other four is looking at some different pictures. Reiko, Yurika, Rei, and Jiro were looking at the other warriors in astonishment and were saying the exact same things as they saw them,
"They look like us, but why? Do we have some connection to this legend? Our are ancestors involves with this?" Reiko was asking a lot of questions to her self, while the others were listening to her.
Everyone was quiet until Lexis broke the silence
"I don't know about you guys, but I think we should find an exit to this place before everybody gets worried." She was walking until she saw an object covered with a white sheet. "Hmmm I wonder what's under there?" Lexis pondered
She walked towards the object and took off the sheet; she was disappointed when she realized what she found. "It's just a stupid mirror!"
"It doesn't look stupid to me" She turned around to find Taka behind her giving her a warm smile, "Well, the design looks cool but still, it's just a mirror"
As Lexis was looking around the mirror, Taka was beginning to see things when the light was suddenly growing bright
"Um Lexis? I think there is something wrong with the mirror!" Lexis gave him an annoyed look, "What do you mean Taka? There is nothing wrong here, it's just your imagination!"
"No really! Look behind you Lexis!" When she turned around she saw the mirror growing much brighter than before and turned into a swirling vortex.
Everyone heard Lexis's screaming was running to see what is going on. They all struck dead when they saw Lexis being sucked into the mirror and Taka holding her hand, trying to resist being sucked in too.
"We gotta help them!" Luna shouted everyone agreed, and made a human chain to hold everyone for not slipping into the vortex. They were trying within their power to reach Lexis, when suddenly a giant hand grabbed Lexis's legs and pulled her in,
"AHHHHHHHHH!" Lexis screamed
LEXIS! Everyone was yelling her name until they were sucked into the vortex. They were swirling into an endless data stream, till they were at the end of the light.
All they could see as they were falling from the deep blue sky, is an island of paradise and other islands scattered around and in the sky was a majestic castle, like a home for angels. The teenaged children were going to separate directions of the biggest island and find out their true destiny and fate.
