How They Came to Be

Jay Barial

Taylor

"And in other news, the strange disappearance of the eight kids over these past weeks has yet to uncover any new information," said the woman on the news.

13-year old Taylor Chase rolled his eyes. "People disappear all the time. What's the big deal about eight kids disappearing?"

Betty, Taylor's little sister, replied. "Because they're all connected because the people they were with didn't disappear. They reported strange lights that snatched them away."

Taylor turned off the TV. "Oh, whoa, it's not that big of a deal. People report strange lights all the time. Maybe these kids are pulling a prank of some sort."

Betty shrugged. "Whatever." She hopped off the couch and walked to her room.

"Taylor!" shouted his mom. "Taylor, your spider's loose again in the house! If you don't keep it in its cage, I'm calling the Exterminator people to spray our house!"

Taylor chuckled. "Mom, you over reach." Taylor hopped off the couch and walked into his room. But to his surprise, he could see why his mom was overreacting. His tarantula, Bert, had not only escaped, but had laid several egg sacks in the house. "Oh, that's what you're talking about."

"Yes!" shouted his mom. "That is what I am talking about! Now get it out . . . now!"

"Moody, moody," muttered Taylor. He quickly found Bert, and put him back in his cage. "Here mom, I'll give Bert to the professor at school. Will that be better?"

"Yes!" cried his mother.

Taylor also put the egg sacks in the cage to. "I'm going to stop by Celes' house first! I'm going to drop off that gem she wanted."

"Good, getting rid of the spider and that stone, fine by me," said his mom. "Have a good trip honey. Be back in time for dinner."

Taylor looked around in his room for the gem, and then slipped it in his pocket. He picked up Bert's cage, and got Betty to open and close the door for him, and he was out.

* * * *

As Taylor was walking down the street towards Celes' house, which was right by school, he felt as if something was following him.

Taylor kept on glancing around, but he couldn't find it.

"I'm losing it," murmured Taylor. "That, or mom slipped something into my lunch. Blah."

As he continued walking, he finally realized that there was someone following him. And he knew just who it was.

Taylor suddenly whipped around and glanced across the street. Betty tried ducking under a car, but she didn't move fast enough. Taylor walked over to the other side of the street and glared at Betty.

"I just wanted to say hi to Celes," said Betty. "Is that a crime?"

Taylor sighed. "I suppose not . . ." But then, suddenly, there was a rip in space itself and it opened up. It began trying to suck Taylor into it.

"Taylor!" shouted Betty, as Taylor was being sucked up. As he entered the rip, he dropped Bert's cage, a long with Celes' crystal, which shattered as it hit the ground.

Michael and Alley

"I'm sorry miss, but we have no further information on Lily's disappearance," said the policeman, "only that the boy, Bob, Lily was walking with disappeared too. There's a chance that this Erik either abducted her, or was in fact abducted himself."

Michael (or Mike) Ferns and his mother nodded. "Thank you officer."

"Just trying to help, ma'am," said the policeman. The policeman turned around and headed out the door.

Mike's mom shut it. "The police aren't going to know what to do. Mike, you know Bob's sister Alley, right?"

Michael nodded. "Right. I'll call her before we go." Michael walked over to his room, where his phone was. He picked it up and began dialing it. As he did so, he slowly slipped on the medallion his father had earned in a police chase- before he had gotten hit by a car. Since then, Michael had always been spooked when walking around along, and street crossing had never felt safe to begin with but this had ultimately damaged him for life.

"Hello?" said Alley's voice from the other line.

"Hey it's Mike," said the boy.

"Oh, Mike, hi, what's up?" asked Alley.

"Well, I'm just warning you in advanced that the police are coming over," said Mike. "They think Bob had something to do with Lily's disappearance."

"Why, just curious?" asked Alley.

"Because Bob was walking with her," said Michael. "And since Bob's a male, they expect him first, blah, blah, blah, long story. Anyway, I'm coming over to help you, okay?"

"Okay," said Alley. "I'll meet you outside at the corner."

"Bye Alley," said Michael.

"Bye." Alley hung up the phone.

Michael walked over to the exit of the door. "Bye mom, I'm heading out!"

* * * *

Alley put on her coat, sunglasses, her various rings, and headed outside. She told her mom what was going on with Bob's disappearance, and said she was going to talk it out with Mike.

"That's fine honey, just tell us when the police come," said Alley's parents.

Alley nodded. "Okay." She headed outside and turned towards the corner. She already saw Mike slowly walking towards the corner.

"Hey," said Mike.

"Hi Michael," said Alley.

"So, about Bob and Lily," said Mike. "Do you have any clue where they might have disappeared to?"

"No clue whatsoever," muttered Alley. "Of course knowing those guys . . ."

Suddenly, the sky above them ripped open revealing a sort of portal in the sky. The portal began sucking up the two kids. They tried grabbing onto something, but it was useless. Lucky for them they entered it, but dropping the medallion and rings, cause a car was slowly coming towards them . . .

Sasha, Derek, and Summer

"And that's why you should all be taking buses that get here on time," growled Mr. Hertz, the teacher in charge of detention.

There were at least five people in detention, and two of them had heard this short speech every single day. That would be Summer Turner and Derek Oles, who also went out often and always stayed together. Sasha Smith, who was Summer's best friend, also hung out around the couple often, and ended up here too, but wasn't familiar with the speech.

"Puh! Detention this!" A boy in the back, Josh, shot a spit ball at the detention teacher's head. "Let's roll!"

The five kids rushed out of the class room and headed out of the school to their various public transportation buses.

With his arm around Summer, and Sasha at his side, Derek walked home with his girlfriend and his girlfriend's best friend.

"Besides being late, how were your days?" Derek asked his two friends.

Summer and Sasha chuckled and they started rambling about what they were doing today, what they had made, blah, blah, blah.

Summer had made a special friendship bracelet for Sasha, uniting their best friend friendship, or something. Since Sasha didn't have anything special for Summer, she gave her the watch she had bought (she had actually won it in one of those crane games, but she didn't tell Summer).

Derek put on his glasses and glanced at Summer's watch. "Okay, our bus should be here any second now."

The trio walked to the bus stop and waited for the bus. It came within several minutes.

On the bus, a kid approached Summer on the bus and asked, "Hey, aren't you the girl who's brother disappeared? That Erik Turner guy?"

Derek stood up and shoved the boy against the wall of the bus. "What's it to ya!"

"Nothing!" cried the boy. "I was just asking, since I had seen her on TV as a sibling of one of the missing children."

"It's all right Derek," said Summer, who already had tears coming to her eyes. She put her hand on Derek's shoulder. "Down, he was just asking a question, he was just . . ." She sniffled, "he was just curious. That's all right."

Suddenly, the bus driver came to a screeching halt.

As the bus jerked to a stop, Derek went flying and slammed into the floor of the bus, and his glasses also went flying. He slowly got up and tried searching for his glasses, but there was an announcement from the bus driver.

"A strange hole has appeared in front of the bus!" shouted the bus driver. "Get the hell out of here now!"

There was a scream, and everyone on the bus rushed out, in the process a person crushed Derek's glasses.

As Sasha and Summer both helped Derek up, some punk snatched the watch off Summer's wrist and the bracelet off of Sasha's wrist.

The trio rushed off the bus and tried to get away from the strange hole in front of the bus and tried to go after that punk. But as they tried, they were sucked into the hole.

After this incredibly sketchy introduction (it's just how they DigiDestined came to be, the other episodes will be better). The Dark DigiDestined series will be a five-episode thing, if you enjoy then I'll continue the series. Your reviews count, if you don't like it, then I won't continue. If I'm copying anyone, sorry I don't read a lot of Digimon stories. The first episodes start with the new DigiDestined in the Digital World in Welcome to the Digital World.
