(A/N)
Thanks for the reviews everyone! On with Chapter 1: The MapleDestined meets!!
"Oh. Where the hell…" Ben stood up as he dusted his knee. Surprisingly, the wound had completely vanished.
Ben stared at his surroundings. He was in a small grassy field. He was standing right beside a house. The roof was shaped like a mushroom. Opposite the house he was standing, another house resided. A woman was standing on the roof hanging clothes.
"I guess the only chance to know what the hell is going on is to knock on that door." Ben wondered as he knocked on the door. Surprisingly, the door broke from his knock. He gasped in amazement.
"Woah-oah-ahh!!" a voice from the heavens came nearer and nearer. PLOP! A girl fell on top of Ben.
"What the….? First I was sucked into a portal, and now some wacky guy from the sky falls on top of… huh? Oh, it's a girl." Ben said, wide-eyed.
"Sorry. I'm Mimi." Mimi extended her hand to shake hands. Ben stared at her. Wow, she sure is pretty, he thought as he shook hands with her.
"Ben here." smiled Ben shyly. "What is this place?" Mimi asked in curiousity. "I was just going to ask you that. I accidentally fell into this portal and came here." groaned Ben.
Before Mimi could answer, another portal opened and a boy wearing spectacles shot out of the portal yelling.
"What's up?" Ben stared as the boy spun around and around in the air. He looked like an acrobat. Mimi began clapping her hands.
The boy landed with a big thud. That must hurt, thought Ben as he cringed. When he allowed his eyes to see through his hands, he saw a boy about two years older than him.
"I'm Joe. Can you tell me where we are? Are we in another part of Singapore? I was sucked into a bull's eye and I came here." explained Joe worriedly. "You mean a portal." replied Ben, trying not to laugh at Joe's big spectacles.
"Well, yes, it certainly did look like a portal." Joe recalled.
"The same thing happened to us." Mimi answered.
Suddenly, they heard snores.
"That isn't a monster. It is another partner." said an enormous voice from the sky.
"Who? What? Where?" Joe looked around and Ben gestured for him to look up into the sky.
"There's nothing there!" Joe said. "Everyone heard that voice, didn't we?" Ben asked.
Joe and Mimi nodded.
"There's no time to lose. We've just got to find out what this place is!" Ben yelled. "I've still got important documents to deliver!"
"You want to know where this is? Simple. This is the world of Maple Story. And you're on Maple Island!" replied the voice from the air. "Shut up! Show yourself!" Ben yelled, as he looked up in the sky. Whoever was saying those words were invisible.
"My dear friend, don't scream at me. You still have lots to uncover. Like.." the voice seemed to be clearing it's throat, "walk straight down the path, and you'll uncover something."
Ben looked suspicious, Joe was hesitant, but Mimi was the adventurous type. She zoomed quickly down the path.
"Wait for me!!" Ben yelled as he chased after Mimi. Joe saw a book on the floor. He quickly picked it up as he chased after the others.
"You're almost there." the voice said. "What are we actually going to uncover anyway?" Joe asked. "Something." replied the voice. We could hear it fading away.
"Was that just my imagination?" Ben asked himself in wonder. "No, it couldn't have been. If it really was your imagination, only you can hear it, not the three of us." Mimi answered, as she skipped down the path. As quickly as she had ran, she stopped.
"Found it?" asked Ben as he bumped into her. "Is that the mystery?" she pointed down at a girl wearing a red baseball cap. "She looks human." Ben joked. Mimi rolled her eyes as she tried to shake the girl up.
"Why not try this?" Ben grinned, and yelled as loud as a radio on top volume. The girl woke up immediately.
"Who are you? Where am I?" the girl asked. "I don't suppose you got sucked into a portal and came here?" Joe chuckled. Mimi giggled.
"No. I just fainted. Then I was here. I don't know what happened when I was out. By the way, I'm Eve. Who are you guys and where the heck am I?" Eve asked as she looked all around.
"Well, I'm Ben, she's Mimi, and the nerd guy here is Joe." grinned Ben. "We are in someplace called Maple Island."
"Ah, I see your team is completed." said the voice, who was now back. "You haven't told us who are you." Joe reminded.
"You will know that from time to come. I love mysteries." laughed the voice. Ben could tell he was grinning. "Was this the mystery you were telling us about?" asked Mimi. "Ah, yes. That is the mystery." replied the voice.
"What is this team?" asked Ben. "That's for you to uncover. Now, on for your first quest. Take this, everyone." said the voice. Three books dropped from the sky and three of us caught it.
"Aren't there any for you?" Eve asked Joe. "Got it right here. I found it on the floor just now." Joe replied as he revealed the book from his pocket.
