How Chapter 2- Get Your Gear and Begin
Stephen slowly opened his eyes. He had been....falling. Falling for what seemed like forever. He had been at his computer at home, reading an email from someone name DigitalMatrix when he was immobilized. Being captured by some kind of blueish orb, he was then plunged into darkness.
Well, not total darkness. He had seen the Leaning Tower of Pisa, Mona Lisa, the Thinker, and various other famous art pieces or monuments.
"This is all a dream," he said to himself as he got up.
"It isn't a dream as far as we can tell," said a girls voice. He turned around to see two boys and two girls about his age, and a smaller one who seemed about ten or eleven. The girl who had said that was about his height with sandy brown hair. Stephen looked around the room. Blue, see through screens were around everywhere. They looked like computer screens without the actual monitor or screens.
"Wh–where are we?" he asked, looking back at the group.
"No idea," said the boy with short, dark hair.
"Well, who are all of you then?" asked Stephen, who was kind of frustrated.
"I'm Anthony Fowler, and I'm from Jackson," said the boy who had spoke to him before, and then he sarcastically added, "that's in Ohio."
"I'm Grant, man," said the guy next to him.
"I'm Alexa and this is Jamie," said the girl with black hair, who was with a small kid.
"And I am Sakura," said the last girl.
"Who are you?" asked Alexa.
"I'm Stephen," he replied.
"Welcome to the Digital World," said a masculine voice. Stephen jumped and turned around to see nothing but the screens.
"Who–who said that?" asked Jamie.
"Names are not important right now," the voice said again., "but what is important is that you begin your journey."
"Journey?" said Sakura, scratching her head.
"Wait, wait, wait," said Alexa, "I didn't sign up for this."
"None of you did," said the voice, "you don't sign up for your destiny. Now, if each of you will kindly go to separate---"
"Destinies? What are you, some gypsy?" asked Anthony sarcastically, interrupting.
"Gypsy, I am not," said the voice, "now, if you will kindly---"
"Where are we anyways?" interrupted Alexa, keeping a hold of Jamie's hand.
"You are in the Digital World, where else? The Digital World is where all data enters and exits. Your email goes through here, through the Digital Matrix, and to the recipient. That's how it has been since the invention of the Internet, and that is how it will always be. Any other questions before we begin?"
"I have one," said Grant quietly, "what are we doing here?"
"You are here to save us from our dark destinies. There is a very evil Digimon---"
"Digimon?" Anthony interrupted once again.
"Yes, Digimon, or Digital Monsters. Beings that are made from complete data and who live in the Digital World. Each of you will be receiving a Digimon shortly. Now, on to getting you ready. Each of you go to a separate screen."
"Here, Jamie, go to the one next to mine," said Alexa, walking him over to one then going to a different one. Each were spread throughout the room.
"Now put your right hand on the screen," said the voice. As each did, green lights began emerging from where their hands were. Each jumped at this, but remained there. Suddenly, each of their names appeared in white letters. Stephen Canter, Sakura Megami, Anthony Fowler, Alexa Davidson, James Mokima and Grant Wickline.
"Choose a username," said the voice. On each screen, a keyboard appeared. One by one, each began to put in their selected names: Score, Sayaki, Cyke, Katana, Toru, and Hunter.
"Now what?" asked Sakura.
"Choose a drive from the following: A, C, D, E, W, and R." the voice responded. Another keyboard showed up, but only with the six selections. Each chose the following (in the same order of names and username's): ://A, ://E, ://C, ://D, ://R, and ://W.
"Okay, Mr. Mysterious, what now?" asked Alexa sarcastically.
"Ok, wait for a second," the voice said. Suddenly, from the screens, a small, compact disc reader emerged. Each of the six kids caught them and looked at them. Each were silver plated and each had different markings on them. Stephen pushed the button that looked like this ^ and the top opened to show a disc reader like a cd player. The other buttons were a play button and a fast forward button, but the fast forward button wasn't able to be pushed.
"What are these?" asked Jamie.
"Those are your Digital Readers. They are to run these." the voice replied. Suddenly, each had a small disc in their hands. "Run those through your DR's and you will get your Digimon. Now, you shall begin."
Suddenly, the room began to glow. The kids started shouting as the floor below them started to disintegrate and they fell.
