Hamha! This is my first story, and it's taken awhile to complete. I've fixed hopefully all the errors in this story from when I first wrote this and put it up on the net. The first few chapters are short and not at the best, but the story gets better as it goes on. I hope you'll all enjoy this story and review. You may flame if you have any dislikes about this story. Disclaimer: I do not own Hamtaro.

Chapter 1. Enter the hamham world

It was a bright sunny day outside, but things were not at it's best. Boss was outside, collecting sunflower seeds. " I think that's enough sunflower seeds for Bijou!" Boss declared. He looked up at the sky, thinking nervously "But what if she still doesn't forgive me?" He said to himself. He thought back earlier on that day, when he told the hamhams that he arranged a hike for all of them to go on. Maxwell suggesated that the hamhams should go in pairs of two. Hamtaro was going to pair up with Oxnard, but he was already with Cappy. Bijou knew that Hamtaro was without a partner, so Bijou went up to Hamtaro to ask if he'd like to be her partner. Boss came over, but only heard Hamtaro say " I'd love to be your partner Bijou!" But Boss didn't hear what Bijou had said to hamtaro before that. Boss got furious, thinking that Hamtaro had asked Bijou to be his partner. Boss sped over to Hamtaro, growling "Hey! I'm her partner for the hike!! Back off and find someone else!!" Hamtaro shrunk down and said "Okay! Okay! You can be her partner, I'll be Stan's partner!"

Suddenly Bijou soke up" Boss, you back off! I asked Hamtaro to be my partner, and he said yes!" "Y-you asked h-him?!" Boss stuttered. Everyone was looking at Boss. He stood there, speechless and in shock. "I- I'm sorry Bijou! I- d-didn't know!" Boss told her, starting to blush in embarassment. "Eet was not nice to yell at Hamtaro!" Bijou said angrily at Boss's ears drooped and his head hung low. "Sorry" He mumbled. Stan broke in. "Boss man, I think you need to, like, cool off a bit, you know?" Some of the other hamhams nodded. "You can't always, like, have things your way." Sandy added. Anger rose inside of Boss. "Well.... FINE THEN! I DON'T NEED TO GO ON THIS STUPID HIKE WITH ANY OF YOU!!" He shouted. He stormed out of the clubhouse, and slammed the door. " I didn't mean to make Boss upset!" Hamtaro said. " Eet eez not your fault Hamtaro. He was being rude, and we can go on the hike without him!" Bijou said in a stern voice.

"Those stupid hamhams!" Boss was angrily growling, when he suddenly tripped on a tree root, and fell over. His sunflower seeds were scattered around him. Boss snapped back to reality. "Oh great! That stupid root tripped me! I'd better gather these up quick before the hamhams start that hike!" Just when he was picking up the last sunflower seed, he saw something in front of him that made him drop all his seeds again. " What the-" He cried when he saw a swirl,(really a portal) in front of him. "What is that?!" He said aloud. A strong wind began to pull on him. "Whatever it is, it's dragging me in!" He said, struggling against the force of the portal pulling him in. He was pulled in, and within seconds, he was falling through the sky of a different world.

Boss saw something dark ahead of him that looked like a floating castle, except it was all black. "Something tells me this isn't gonna be a soft landing!" He cried. He landed in the open entrance of the dark castle. " Ouchichi!" He cried. "Where am I?!" "You are in the dark castle!" A voice called out. Boss whirled around. " Huh?! Who said that?!" He looked, and beside him, was a white hamster in a prison. There were a bunch of other hamsters in other prisons lined up against the wall, even though it was hard to see in all the darkness. " Woah! What happened to you guys!?" Boss cried. "I am Will" The white hamster said. " And we're all prisoners of the evil lord Hamrigan."

"Uuuhh....who is this hamri-whatever, guy?" Boss asked. " He was once a hamster they say, but he was taken over by darkness, and he turned evil. The only hope for this world is if the legendary warriors from the world you came from, will come here!" Will replied. "I have some friends from the world I came from! Boss said. "Maybe they're legendary warriors! They'll come once they notice i'm missing, well.......if they ever notice that I'm missing..." "You must be one of the legendary ham warriors from the prophecy who has come to save us all!" Will cried "You and your friends!" "wow!" Boss exclaimed. " If it's true, then me and my friends just GOTTA be the legendary ham warriors! Once they come to this world, then we'll kick Hamrigan's butt!!" Suddenly, a dark evil laughter echoed through the castle. "huh?! Who's that?!" Boss said. A dark cloaked figure approached. He was about as tall as a grown human. He wore a giant black cape. His face and body were hidden in the shadows, but sharp long claws could be made out on each hand, and red piercing eyes that had evilness in them.

" Well said brave one" The figure said. "But foolish, indeed. I am Lord Hamrigan. Soon you will be calling me master. You are the one we have been waiting for to do our experiment!" "Wha'd ya mean by that?!" Boss exclaimed. "You will see soon enough, now come with me!" He said darkly. "Try and make me!" Growled Boss. Hamrigan stared evilly at Boss, then said "If you will not come, then you shall DIE!" With that, he swiped Boss with his claws. Boss was knocked back, and went over the edge of the castle. Now he was dangling off the edge of the dark castle. Boss's hat fell off onto the sharp rocks below. "Give in now, or die" Hamrigan boomed. Boss thought to himself. "If I don't give in, then I'll be a goner for sure!" Boss then cried out. "Ok!Ok! I give in!" "Good choice" Said Hamrigan. Then he lifted Boss from the edge with his powers. " No! Don't go with him!" Will cried out. "Shut up!" Hamrigan commanded, and he used his powers on. Purple bolts of lighting shot out of Hamrigans hands, zapping Will. He did the same to Boss, so he wouldn't be able to escape. "Your past shall be forgotten and your future will be in my hands." Hamrigan told Boss, as he was pulled along by Hamrigan's zapping powers. " That hamster was our last hope!" Will said in an upset voice. "Now this whole world will be doomed!"
