K.J. woke up feeling dazed. He remembered the sky becoming dark and the beam of light, but now he had no idea where he was. He rubbed his eyes, stood up, and looked around. What he saw rendered him speechless.

He was standing in what seemed to be a forest, with grass the color of emeralds, and flowers of every shape, color and scent. To K.J it felt like some kind of pastoral dream; the kind that he had right before a wet dream. He sighed. A place this stunning could not be real.

"Maybe I'm dead," K.J thought out loud, "Maybe I have died and gone to heaven." He laughed in spite of himself. He was not sure he believed in heaven.
K.J. began to walk around. He was looking for any sign of intelligent life, any sign of someone (or something) familiar. He spotted Amy. Not exactly a sign of intelligent life, but still……
He walked up to her (not being sure if she WAS intelligent life) and said, "Amy, you're here too?"

Amy's blue eyes widened. "K.J.!" she said, "Where the hell are we?" she looked scared. "Are we dead? I hope not, because I am too young to be dead. I am ONLY FOURTEEN, DAMMIT! Fourteen and beautiful. I have a long life ahead of me." She began to wail incomprehensively.

K.J. said, "I have no idea where we are. But let me assure you, we are not dead. If we were, we would probably be swimming in some form of black hole or something like that."

Amy said, "What on earth are you talking about?"

"Never mind," K.J. said, "Come on, lets look around. Maybe we'll see other people from the camp."

"I want to know what happened to us!" Amy screamed.

"We'll know soon enough," K.J. said in a calm voice, "Come on."

Amy and K.J were about to begin their walk when someone ran up to them screaming, "K.J! Amy! Hold up!" It was Jack, followed by Mara and Alex.
"Dude, do you know what happened?" Jack asked K.J.
K.J. said, "I was about to ask you the same question."
Alex rolled his eyes and said, "Great. You won't be much help."
Amy said, "Well, let's find out where we are so we can get out of here."
Mara said, "I like it here." She had a pleasant, soft voice. K.J. smiled when he heard her speak.
"Well I DON'T!" Amy said, "It's pretty and everything, but I DO NOT want to STAY HERE!"
Mara looked away and went to stand behind Jack and Alex.
"Amy, "K.J warned, "Be nice."

"Sorry," Amy said to Mara in a very unconvincing tone of voice.

"Ok," Mara replied.

K.J. felt angry. He had been very happy to hear Mara speak and now Amy had scared her away.

Amy paced around noisily muttering things to herself.

"I'm hot," she said, "This place is so humid. My hair is going to get all messy. Let's get out of here!"

No one answered. Amy angrily sat on the floor and complained some more.
The other kids stood quietly for a few moments. Nobody knew what to do. They heard footsteps.

"Oh, crap," said Amy, "It's probably a pack of wild animals planning to eat us!"
K.J. smiled at the thought of Amy being devoured by hungry beasts. Nothing would make him happier.

The footsteps got closer. Amy screamed.

"Please," a voice said, "Stop it, you're hurting me."

It was a little bird. He was about three feet tall; he had brown feathers and a yellow beak. His appearance was not really that astonishing. What was amazing was the fact that the bird could talk.

"The bird spoke to me," Amy said.

"Yeah, I think it wants you to shut up," Alex said.

The bird then faced Alex and said, "Hello you must be Alex. I have been waiting for you."
"Really? Who are you?" Alex demanded, "And how are you able to speak?"
The bird grinned. "My name is Leer," he said, "And I can talk because all Magimon can talk."
"Magimon?" Jack said, "What the hell."

Alex said, "Yeah, my thoughts precisely."
"This is the Magiworld," Leer said, "And Magimon live here."

Everyone looked utterly confused.

"What are Magimon?" Amy asked.

"We are the creatures who live here, of course," Leer said, "Don't you know anything?"

"Obviously no," K.J. said.

Jack said, "Well, why were you waiting for Alex?"
"Because Alex is destined to be my master," Leer said.
"Your master?" K.J. said, "What?"
"Yes, you see, all of you are the Destined, the children who will rescue our world from the forces of evil."
"Us?" K.J said, "The Destined?"

"Forces of evil?" Amy said in a small voice very unlike her regular loud one.
"Yes," Leer said.
"Each of you will have your own Magimon," Leer explained, "But I believe they are late."
"So," Alex said, "I am your master?"
"Yes, I will go wherever you go, and do what you tell me to do."
"Sweet," Alex said. K.J. rolled his eyes.
"And what evil must we save you from?" Jack asked.
Leer became serious. "There is an evil Magimon lurking around. I have never seen his face, but I have been told that he casts spells over other Magimon to make them serve him."

"Oh," Mara said softly, "How mean."
"What's that Magimon's name?" K.J. wanted to know.
"I do not know."
"Oh."
They kept on talking, when suddenly out of the sky, five colorful devices came to the kids. A blue one came to Alex, a pink one to Amy, and a white one for Mara. Jack got a red one, and an orange one whacked K.J. on the head.
"Ow!" He said, "What are these?"
Leer said, "More proof that you are The Destined. These are special devices. You shall learn about their function later on. I'd tell you now, but I do believe we should wait for the other Magimon to show up."
"Ok."
Then they heard a screech. The five kids looked up at the sky and saw a huge fire bird. He aimed a fireball straight at Alex!
