Sand Storm and Snow Storm
Lexington High School, 5:55 P.M.
"WELCOME TO THE BIG FOOTBALL GAME; THE LEXINGTON HIGH VIKINGS VS. THE DANBURY HIGH SPARTAINS!" The stadium was packed as people flocked into the stands. Michael was kissing Emily, who was dressed in a cheerleading outfit, before he went onto the field to warm up. "Good luck Mike." Emily said, he smiled back at her and said. "Don't need it, we are going to whop them." He ran off onto the field to warm up. The Vikings had helmets very similar to the Minnesota Vikings, except they were Indigo instead of Purple. Danbury had a replica of a USC helmet with green instead of red. Michael went up to his receivers to pass with them before he heard someone call his name. "Well, well, well…if it isn't Michael Richardson." He turned and saw the familiar look of the best running back he has ever seen. He was an African-American kid, whom was built like Ahmad Bradshaw of the Giants, short but strong. " Tyson MacAfee. I'm surprised not to see a news team attached to you like a parasitic leech." Michael said smugly, Tyson merely laughed, "Well, let's just see who is laughing at the game's conclusion."
Michael nodded and Tyson left to his side of the field, it was then the referee came up to Michael, "Michael, you need to get your team to the end zone for the announcing of the teams." He nodded and motioned his receivers over and then called everyone else over to the end zone.
At the nearby soccer field
"Alright Jake, I'll be back to pick you when I am done watching the game. I will be in the stands when you decide to come to watch the game." Jake's mother said, Jake nodded and hopped out of the Toyota his mom owned. "Bye mom." He said before shutting the door and going over to the others. He saw Zak shooting the soccer ball into the net. Zak stopped and waved before taking another shot.
Jake saw that Kyle was there, as well as his younger brother Tim Jr., or TJ. TJ was a 12-year old boy with straw-like blonde hair and blue eyes. He was the modified goalkeeper and was trying to stop Zak's shots from making it into the net. "Hey Jake!" he shouted from the goal, Jake waved at him before going over to Kyle. "You alright man?" he asked. Kyle nodded slowly, "I guess, I have to keep my hopes up. I mean, he may still be alive; right?" Kyle said, Jake nodded and patted him on the shoulder. Just then they heard a car pull away.
Jake saw a Volvo drive off, leaving Megan and Alex with them. Everyone was there, however the kids all failed to notice the bulk of clouds forming in the sky.
Santa Fe
It was quiet and dark, since the desert darkened quickly, and the military vehicle continued onwards. The soldiers were nearing a branch of the Rio Grande, "Almost to the river." Marcus whispered, just then they heard; "SAND STORM!" Suddenly a huge gust of sand slammed into the side of the vehicle, knocking it down and making it roll along the ground for what seemed to be an eternity. Finally, it stopped and the groggy men stepped out into the dusty air. Timothy helped up Will, whom was bleeding due to a laceration across the forehead from the rolling. "What the hell was that?" One of the other soldiers asked, while shaking the dizziness from his head. Timothy looked out into the desert, "I think we should leave the vehicle." He said, everyone agreed. He pulled out a flashlight and turned it on, and so did a few others that had flashlights. "We need to find shelter, or else we're screwed." Marcus said looking around. They all started to walk from the truck, when they heard the sound of sand moving. "What in God's name is that?" David asked, still trying to wipe off David's forehead, which had slowed in it's bleeding.
Just then, Timothy saw sand around the truck move, as if there was something underneath it. "Keep moving away from the truck guys." He whispered. As they were, there was another noise and all of the soldiers lifted their guns up; prepared for anything. "Stay quiet." Marcus whispered. Just then there was a huge cloud of dust that shot up in the air, making it even more difficult to see. "What the hell?" David shouted in confusion as everyone jumped down in cover as well as frantically move their flashlights around to see what happened. Next, a scream was heard in Marcus' direction, followed by loud noise of something bursting from the sand and gunfire. Everyone else started to fire their guns in the direction of the struggle, until the noises stopped. Timothy looked into the cloud of dust, and once it cleared…Marcus was gone, and no one felt safe anymore.
"Where in God's name is Marcus?" one of the soldiers asked. Just then they heard someone talking in a sadistic, blood-curdling whisper. "Don't even try anything funny, I took down one of you easily, I can do the same to the rest of you." The voice that said that didn't sound normal, it sounded evil. "Who and what are you!?!" Will shouted in a scared, and confused tone. There was laughter and then, "You will know soon enough."
Timothy realized he needed to think of something, quick. He saw the Rio Grande and a cavern on the other side. He slowly walked over to David and whispered, "Listen, if we cross the river, I can throw this belt of grenades in the water to distract it while we go up to that cave." He pointed, David saw the cave he was pointing at, and then nodded. Timothy began to walk slowly to the river, he gestured to the cave, and fortunately, thanks to the flashlights, the others were able to see even though it was nearly pitch-black out now. Then Timothy pointed to the cave, everyone understood, and then Timothy held up his gun. Everyone else followed suit, then they heard the sand move again; this time near two soldiers that they didn't know.
The sand came flying up and a large scorpion-like creature (they had trouble seeing it though since it was dark) landed one of the two men while shouting, "TAIL BLADE!" and started to slash at the man. He fell down, dead, while the other man fell backwards and began to crawl away as fast as possible. Meanwhile, the remaining men began to fire their guns at the creature, while running in the direction of the Rio Grande.
They all hopped into the river, fortunately it wasn't violent at all and was very shallow. Scorpiomon began to follow them and Timothy pulled the pin to a grenade before throwing it about ten feet behind him. Scorpiomon followed them and got into the river. The men were already almost across when the first grenade went of, causing water to go into Scorpiomon's face. Timothy pulled the pin to two more grenades and dropped them into the river as he reached shore. They all ran, Timothy continuing to drop grenades as the others fired at the monster. Finally, three grenades want of right in Scorpiomon's face and left him dazed, giving the soldiers time to escape. The men reached the cave and kept going deeper into it, finally reaching an underground tunnel before stopping. Everyone was out of breath, and they realized that someone would need to keep watch for everyone. "David and I will keep a watch for a few hours, everyone else…stay hidden!" Timothy whispered in a harsh tone, before he and David sat down closer to the cave entrance than everyone else, ready for a long sleepless night.
"That thing got Marcus, didn't it?" David whispered to Timothy, who didn't answer. David had gotten his answer just by the look on his face.
Will, meanwhile, kept tending to the laceration on his head. He knew he had seen that creature somewhere…but where?
Lexington High Stadium
"AND HERE ARE YOUR LEXINGTON HIGH VIKINGS!" The announcer shouted, after this the entire team, led by Michael, ran onto the field to the song, "Let it Rock" by Kevin Rudolph and Lil' Wayne. Everyone on the home side cheered, while everyone else booed. There was a group of indigo-clad cheerleaders, including Emily, whom were cheering loudly for the team. Michael looked the opposite end zone; there he was the Danbury Spartans. "AND NOW, THE VISITING DANBURY HIGH SPARTANS!!" With that, the green-clad team sprinted onto the field to a slur of booing and "Remember the Name" by Fort Minor paying, from the Lexington side of the stadium. Tyson and some others were provoking anger in the crowd by making hand gestures, yelling insults and even giving the finger and saying "Screw Lexington!"
Soccer Field
"So how are you doing Jake?" TJ asked after coming out of the goal, leaving an empty net for Zak to shoot into. "Good man, just chillin'." Jake said smiling at the boy. TJ smiled and pushed some strands of hair out of his eyes before walking over to Kyle to talk to him. Megan and Alex hadn't said much to anyone else when they came, making Jake angry. He really wanted to ask Alex why she wouldn't go out with him. He strode over and tapped her on the shoulder. "Alex, can I talk to you in private?" he asked, she nodded and Megan walked off to talk to a still-shooting Zak.
"Why won't you really go out with me?" Jake asked sternly, making Alex let out a huge sigh of irritancy.
Megan reached Zak and saw that he had stopped shooting to watch the "show" Jake and Alex were having. "He still obsessed with getting her to date him?" Zak asked, Megan looked at him and smiled weakly. "Yeah, he just won't stop." They both snickered, until they heard that the conversation between Jake and Alex was escalating into a loud, angry, argument.
"Do you think Bella will ever ask me out bro?" TJ asked a still quiet, but a bit less depressed Kyle. Kyle knew TJ wouldn't take Dad's absence as hard as he did because TJ still had a good amount of hope that their dad was alive. Kyle, on the other hand, was a pessimist and had a 80% feeling their dad was dead.
"Yeah…how can she not. I know she has a major crush on you." Kyle said smiling, knowing how much TJ liked Jake's cousin.
"WELL AT LEAST I DON'T FORGET TO DO A PROJECT THAT I KNEW ABOUT TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE!" Alex shouted to Jake, but Jake wasn't done yet. "WELL AT LEAST I NEVER KISSED A RELATIVE…WITH MY TONGUE!" Jake shouted. Alex blushed a bit, but yelled back; "I DIDN'T REALIZE HE WAS MY SECOND COUSIN…AND I WAS TEN!!" Jake just laughed. "WHAT KIND OF FREAKING 10-YEAR OLD KISSES WITH THEIR TONGUE?"
All of a sudden, it began to get cold. No one seemed to notice, or they just shrugged it off.
At the football field
"FIRST DRIVE FOR LEXINGTON LED TO A PUNT, NOW LET'S SEE WHAT DANBURY CAN DO!" The announcer shouted out of the megaphones. "Let's go defense!" Emily shouted, while shaking her pom-poms. The teams got to the line, "READY…BLUE 42, BLUE 42…SET…HUT!" the quarterback shouted before going back and handing it off to Tyson, who ran it down the field ten yards for a first down. He got up, fast, and began to point at the Lexington sideline and shout, "All day, baby!"
"God, why is it so cloudy?" Asked Ray, one of the receivers. Michael shrugged before shouting, "C'mon Defense!" Just then they heard up in the stands…"Hey…It's snowing." It was then that everyone noticed it start to snow. "Why the hell is it snowing; it was 70 degrees a minute ago?"
On the way to the school
Chris stopped his bike; he just noticed the snow coming down. He stood in the middle of the street confused. About an hour ago…it was warm enough to wear a sleeveless shirt. "This ain't right." He whispered to himself.
At the soccer field
"Holy Moses." Zak whispered/ Everyone stopped what they were doing as they saw the snow fall more and more. "Bro…um…what is going on?" TJ asked standing up, confused. Kyle shook his head in disbelief. It was then the snow falling became a blizzard. "Holy…GET INTO THE SCHOOL!" Jake shouted, noticing that everyone in the stadium began to run for cover. The kids ran up to the nearest entrance and found it locked. "C'mon…follow everyone else." Alex shouted, they all obliged and ran to the other, further entrance.
Street outside of the school
"Holy God!" Chris shouted, before running, with his bike, under a nearby-house's balcony for cover. "What the hell is going on?" he questioned to no one in particular.
Inside the school
"EMILY!" Michael shouted once inside, trying to find his girlfriend. "Mike, I'm over here!" he heard her shout. They ran up to each other and hugged. "What the heck is going on outside?" she asked, Michael simply shrugged, "I don't know. c'mon!" They both ran into the cafeteria.
Outside
"Almost there!" Jake said, just then they reached an open door, one that no one was entering. "Should we go in there?" Zak asked, Megan didn't wait for and answer as she ran inside. Everyone else shrugged and entered the dark room. They saw they were in the men's locker room. Nothing in the locker room but some lockers, clothes and one P.E. teacher's office that had a computer and books; completely boring. They all sat down, out of breath and freezing. "Is this the locker room?" Megan asked, while shivering. Jake nodded and went over to the door that led to the school and saw that it was locked. "Why is it locked?" he thought to himself.
Then they heard a noise that sounded like static. They walked over to the source and saw it coming from the P.E. teacher's computer. It was glowing white, just then a loud humming noise was emitting from the computer. "What is going on?" Alex asked. Jake looked, blankly confused at the computer. "I don't know." Just then, 6 beams of light shot from the monitor, each hitting one person. There were six objects, glowing, in everyone's' hands. Then the glowing stopped, leaving 6 computer-like objects in their hands. Jake's was orange, Kyle's was blue, Zak's was purple, Alex's was red, Megan was green, and TJ's was golden. "These look like digivises from Digimon." TJ said, "What-i-vises?" Kyle asked. "Digivises." Zak said. "You would know nerd." Kyle said to Zak. Zak sighed angrily, "I used to watch the show when I was like ten, alright." Zak said irritably. Kyle just smiled evilly, enjoying getting on Zak's nerves.
"What's happening to the computer?" Alex asked, everyone turned and saw the light growing brighter. "Oh sh…" Jake started, but was silenced when the light shot out and enveloped all six of them. There was a loud scream and then…silence. There was an empty area where the six kids were as they had been sucked into the computer.
- Well, I'm sure you know what will be happening in the next chapter, please review. Thanks and again...GO GIANTS!!"
