Portals and Immortality

Chapter II It Has Begun
The taxi turned into Caliber Avenue, when the taxi came to a complete and sudden stop. "Hey! Get out of the way!" the driver yelled at the person standing in the way. Another person came up to the window of the driver. This person wasn't as big as the other but had some height. He wore clothes that looked like they were once elegant but haven't been was in a long time, he also wore armor on his legs that looked battle worn. He had long gray hair; it could have been white through all of the dirt, albino eyes and was carrying a staff with an unusual carving at the top. "How dare you speak to his majesty in such an inappropriate manner!" he said, then he leaned closer, "can you show me?" Tai and Izzy heard this and Izzy was trying to restrain Tai from laughing but failed. "Albino." The first on called. "Yes Majesty?" "Bring them to me so that I may examine these creatures." He ordered. "Yes Majesty," came the reply, "you three get out of there now." Albino ordered. Slowly the Tai, Izzy and the driver emerged from the car and walked over to him. "You will kneel before His Majesty!" Albino ordered before whacking the back of Tai's knee. Tai immediately got back up a punched Albino to the ground. "Don't you ever do that again." Tai said turning to 'His Majesty,' "and who do you think you are ordering us around?" "Who do I think I am? I am Emperor Carnet. Who do you think you are questioning me?" he said before knocking Tai onto his back. "Tai!" Izzy yelled.
Carnet picked Tai up by his shirt. "What a unique specimen. Such power could be of great use to me." He examined Tai and noticed his Digivice. "What is this?" he pondered reaching for it. When he touched it, the air around them started to spark. "NO! Stop!" Izzy got up and tried to stop Carnet but he was thrown back by a jolt. The air began to get thicker around Tai and Carnet. The sparks became small streaks of electricity and encapsulated them. The Digivice activated with a blinding light. When the light faded there was a small, smoldering crater. Izzy got up, "What just happened, Tai?" he asked dusting himself off. "Tai?" He looked around and saw no trace of Tai or Carnet, just Carnet's men and the crater. He ran over to the crater, "Oh no. Where'd they go?" Izzy ran down the street to Colin's house. When he got there he looked around the house to find Colin. He found him still unconscious in the basement. He checked on him to see if he was still alive, then went over to his computer to find out what frequency the harmonics were set to so that he shut it down.
"Hey, get away from there!" a very groggy Colin called out to Izzy. "I will not! I have to shut this thing down before anything else comes out of it." Izzy almost screamed back. "I warned you that something like this would happen if you tried to open an inter dimensional portal." Izzy found what he was looking for. He walked over to the console, "Watch out there's…" Colin tried to warn him but Izzy's Digivice activated and protected him from the barrier. He pulled out his Pineapple and plugged it into the console and began to type away. After about five minutes the portal destabilized and the Dimensional Cannon shut down. Izzy disconnected and looked around at Colin, whose mouth was hanging open. "H-h-how'd you do that?" was all Colin could ask. "I don't have time to explain it now, but I need your help to enhance this model so that we can scan the dimensions with out opening a gateway." Izzy said walking over to the phone. "And can I borrow your phone for a minute?" "Sure." "Thanks." Izzy opened his Laptop and backpack. He pulled out a connection that looked like a double adaptor for a phone. He plugged it into the wall and the Laptop, picked up the phone and opened a file that automatically dialed preset numbers. He lifted the handset to his ear.
"Hello, Kamiya/Takaishi residence. Kari speaking."
"Kari, it's Izzy."
"Oh hi Izzy. How'd it go?"
"W were to late and he activated it."
"Oh no. What happened?"
"I'll explain it when you all get here."
"Get here? What do you mean?"
"Alright, get everyone to my place. You know where the spare is?"
"Yeah."
"Good. Now go in and turn on the computer and open the Digiport and go to the Digital World. Wait until I appear on the Monitor then come through. Got it."
"Yeah. I'll see you in a while. Bye."
"Bye."
"Ah my head." Tai said getting up and rubbing his head. He looked around. "Where am I?" That is something I would also like to know." Tai jumped up, turned around and assumed a fighting stance. "You!" "Emperor Carnet," he said walking up to Tai, "But right now I'm not your enemy." "Oh and why's that?" "Because when you woke and yelled at me you attracted unwanted attention." "And why should I believe you?" "Well if you look over to your right." Tai looked over and saw a group of beings, which looked human, with swords ready to strike. "Right now we should work together to get out of this." Carnet said drawing a sword. "Very well. Any ideas?" "Yeah. Take this and fight back." He handed him the sword and pulled out another. Tai and Carnet stood back to back and wait for the attack, but when they got closer they stopped. "It's his majesty, King Taichi." The leader said before kneeling and bowing his head. "I'm sorry we were going to attack you Majesty but we couldn't tell it was you from the distance." Carnet turned around and looked at Tai, "You're a king?" "Apparently so."
