I finally posted part deuce! Score! (I don't own a damn thing except for the characters and Digimon I made up in this story)
Cold rain fell heavily on the park as the sky overhead roared with thunder. The wind cut through the storm, making the rain sting with contact. Suddenly, the rain weakened, as a brilliant light erupted from the center of the park. As the light faded, it was clear a girl was standing in its center. As suddenly as her arrival, the storm picked up with twice the force. She shuddered in the cold. She stared hard at the white device she held in her hand. Somehow, it brought her to this place, but how? And why? She ran her hands over its cold surface, as if expecting it to answer her questions. She jumped when the device suddenly lit up, and beeped loudly. The white screen displayed three dots moving towards each other: one maroon, one gray, and one teal. As the dots on the screen grew closer to each other, the ground started to shake.

When the dots converged, Rose was blinded as maroon, teal and gray lights emerged around her. The lights began to fade as the storm fought back with twice its original fury. "What just happened?" asked a brown haired boy (whom Rose didn't know) holding a maroon device. "I don't know, but I can safely say it was the coolest thing that ever happened to me," A smaller boy said as he pressed the buttons on the gadget in his hand. "Maybe you shouldn't be doing that." Rose warned. "Huh? Why not?" The boy replied. Suddenly, the earth started to quake again. "That's why," The brown haired boy said. "Uh. guys? Look up!" Jye said. The four looked up to see the storm waver as a circle of light formed. "What's that?" Rose yelled. "I don't know, but my pants aren't just wet from the rain anymore!" the other boy yelled. The ground shook harder as the circle grew closer. When it finally seemed the ground was about to collapse, the circle flared as lightning struck the ground they stood on. When they light cleared, they were gone.

The ancient castle dominated the skyline, surrounded by jagged rock spires. A fire rained from the sky as whirlpools of dark energy wrecked havoc on the ground below. Inside one of the darkest chambers, a being stirred. An impossibly tall, hooded figure raised his head as another walked into the room. "My lord- our agents have confirmed that a rift between the worlds has been opened," the second figure said. He looked like a large, humanoid bird clad in battered samurai armor. Large wings grew from his back as he clutched a black katana in his hand.

"Yes, Tengumon. I sensed the presence earlier. It appears those old fools finally found the chosen ones.." The hooded figure said. "Will this affect our plans, Sammaemon?" Tengumon asked. "No. In fact, our plans rely on it," Sammaemon chuckled. Tengumon winced, as the dry cackle filled the room. "Shall I send a search party to find the children?" Tengumon asked. "No. I know where they will go. That sage will be waiting for them.." Sammaemon said. As Tengumon left, Sammaemon walked to the shadows. "Soon, the ritual will commence, and through it, I shall bring a new age of chaos to this realm!"

Kiro shielded his eyes as he stared at his surroundings. What was once a stormy park was now a rocky plain. Mountains rose in the distance, as misty canyons formed between them. "Unfamiliar sky.." He mused, looking at the cloudless sky above. "What happened?" a groggy voice asked. Kiro turned around sharply to see the boy from the park. "Your name's Ping, right?" Kiro asked. "I certainly hope it is, or I may have amnesia," Ping replied. "Where are we?" Kiro asked, gazing at the sprawling mountains below him. "Looks like some kind of mesa... But how did we get here?" Ping asked. "I think this may have played a role in it...." Kiro said, looking at the maroon device in his hand. Ping inspected his, which was a silvery gray. "Wait- where are the others that were in the park with us?" Kiro asked suddenly. "Haven't the foggiest. Why?" Ping replied. "We should try to find them," Kiro said, descending the mesa and heading into the misty forest below. "Heading into the wild is probably the worst thing we could do right now! We should stay put!" Ping yelled. When no reply came, Ping yelled, "Uh.. Kiro!? WAIT FOR ME!!!" as he ran after his companion.

"Kiro! We've been walking a while! Isn't time for a break?" Ping asked. "Just a bit further," Kiro said. "You said that three furthers ago! I'm tired now!" Ping moaned "Try thinking about something besides how tired you are," Kiro suggested. "Like what?" Ping asked. "I dunno. Think about how we can get back home," Kiro said, sounding annoyed. "Lessee.. we got to wherever this is by some strange circle of light. Wait- that's exactly how Celestial Saga began!" Ping yelped. "What?" Kiro asked. "Celestial Saga is this old RPG about a group of people summoned to save the universe. Get this- they were all sucked through portals just like the one that we went through!" Ping said. "Well, how did they get home?" Kiro asked. "They defeated an impossibly hard quest that nearly cost them their lives," Ping said. "Any other theories?" Kiro asked, rolling his eyes. "Well, there's always aliens," Ping explained. "Ok.. I think all this walking is drawing the blood from your brain," Kiro said. "What's wrong with the alien theory!? They exist; it's just that it's all covered up!" Ping said as he sat down. "Yeah, sure," Kiro said, slumping to the ground. "Do you think we'll find them?" Ping asked. "I don't know, Ping," Kiro replied.

"Hey Kiro?" Ping asked innocently. "Yes Ping?" Kiro asked, starting to get annoyed. "There's something in the tree we're leaning against," Ping said. "Like what? A bird?" Kiro asked. "I don't know, but I'm staring at it and its starring back!" Ping replied nervously. Suddenly, four objects fell from the tree and landed on the ground besides them. They were all round, but each was slightly different from the other. One looked like a monkey head with a long tail that ended in a wicked looking gun, while another was red fuzz ball with golden horns and two small legs. The third, which was the smallest, was pitch black with red eyes and a large, fan-like wing on its back. The final one was yellow with black stripes and a snake mask. They were all smiling at the pair, and the red fuzzy one hopped forward and cheerily said, "Hi!"

Kiro and Ping stared at the little fuzz ball in disbelief, and turned to each other. They slowly got up, and sprinted off into the brush, screaming. "What the heck was that thing?!" Kiro cried in terror as he sprinted. "I TOLD YOU IT WAS ALIENS! THEY MUST WANT TO STUDY US!" Ping yelled. "Hurry! They're gaining on us!!" Kiro cried. Suddenly the duo entered a small clearing, where they stopped for a quick breather. "What's wrong with you two?" a voice suddenly asked. "AH!" Kiro said as Ping and he turned around. "Aww, did the widdle boys run into the boogey man?" Jye asked sarcastically. "What's a boogey man?" a small voice asked. The group turned to see the four small creatures, smiling brightly. "RUN!!" Ping howled as Kiro and he fought to ascend a nearby tree. The girls had a slightly different reaction. "CUUUTE!!" Jye shrieked as she ran over to the small creatures. Rose followed her whilst Ping warned, "No! Don't give in to their charms! That's how they steal your brains!"

"Why are you in the tree?" The striped yellow blob asked, hopping over to the pair. "Because I'm not about to let you eat my precious brain!" Ping said. "Eat you brain? You're silly, Ping," the yellow blob asked. "How do you know my name?! Ye gods, its worse than I thought- they're telepathic!" Ping cried. "Tele-what?" Kiro asked. "Telepathic! They can enter our minds and read our thoughts!!" Ping replied. "Ping, I'm not tlepath- telapea- what ever you said I was," The striped blob said. "And why should I believe you?" Ping asked. "Because I'm Cavermon, your Digimon partner!" The striped 'Digimon' replied. "A digi-what?" Kiro asked. "A digital monster! We live here in the digital world!" the red, fuzzy digimon said hopping up to the tree. "Hi Kiro, I'm Talmon, and I'm your digimon partner!" She said. "Uh.. hi," Kiro replied flatly.

"Are you two STILL afraid of these things?!" Jye asked. She and Rose both were carrying their partners. Jye held the small black one which squeaked, "Hello! I'm Houmon!" while Rose carried the monkey-looking digimon. "Greetings. I am Simimon. You have nothing to fear from me or my friends," Simimon said eloquently. "Yeah Kiro, c'mon down!" Talmon said. Kiro jumped from the tree to the ground. "Kiro! Not you too!" Ping cried. "Come down, Ping!" Cavermon asked. "No!" Ping replied. "Please?" Cavermon asked, as his eyes started to tear. "Uh.. no," Ping said, as his branch started to shake. "WAAAAAH! WHY DON'T YOU LIKE ME!?" Cavermon asked as he started to cry. "Ping! Get down here now!" Rose, Jye and Kiro shouted. Ping was about to reply when the branch he was sitting on snapped. He hit the earth with a sickening smack, and as soon as he had landed Cavermon stopped crying. "Yay! Now we can play!" Cavermon said, bouncing up and down on him. "Yeah.. just as soon as I find my ribs.." Ping replied raspily. Neither he nor any of the others saw the shadow circling above them..
