Chapter 2: DenTech City to Haven City
By
Cherie Duarte
HI! Back again with chapter 2. Ok let's recap (really short) – Draco has returned home to his parents, Ashelin and Torn, in Haven City. Draco was staying a friend of Ashelin's in another city, just called the City. Ashelin is pregnant, don't know if it's another boy or a girl yet. Um… he's staying in Haven City now with his own plot. A loose wire has activated a portal and changed the internet on his computer. Ok, now that that's done let's move on. As before I don't own any thing that isn't mine and I want to go swimming.

Meanwhile in DenTech City at DenTech Collage –
It's been nine years and Lan, Maylu and Yai are in their second year at college. Maylu and Lan have been going out for the past three years. Maylu and Lan are 19 and Yai is 17. Megaman and Roll have been officially going out for about a year.
Lan, Maylu and Yai are studying in Yai's dorm when they are alerted by their navis. It is a late night and most of the students are sleeping. The three have their PETs hooked up to the net.
"Hey Lan, some new page has opened up…" (Megaman)
"Yeah and it's really weird…" (Roll)
"There is nothing but a twisting purplish-blue warp hole." (Glyde) Lan shrugs.
"Let's see this "warp hole"." (Lan) The three kids pick up their PETs and watch as their navis go to the purplish-blue warp hole page. It is a strange room, with only the portal in it standing out against the white walls. If any one had walked in they would have thought it funny to see the three kids leaning over their PETs and staring at nothing but a purplish-blue warp hole. The three navis approach it carefully. When they are only a foot or so away the strangest thing happens. Six hands come out of the warp hole, 3 grabbing the navis and 3 rushing out into the real world, grabbing the three humans staring in. The hands drag them into the warp hole and for a moment the humans and navis are standing side by side. And the seconds later "POP" – Lan, Maylu, and Yai land hard on a cold stone floor. Their PETs are spit out of the portal and land beside them. The three, rather confused, look at their PETs.
"HEY! Where's Megaman!?!" (Lan) He presses buttons on his PET.
"And Roll!?! She's missing too!" (Maylu) She stares at her PET. Both are empty of their navis, only showing a blank screen.
"They were standing right beside me…" (Glyde) he looks up from his PET at Yai.
"It is possible that they didn't make it through…" (Draco)
"Huh?" (Lan)
"I don't think we're in DenTech City anymore…" (Yai) She looks up.
"Where are we?" (Maylu) She looks confused at her two friends.
"How'd we get here?" (Lan) They finally take a look around. The room is dimly lit, yet it still has a high tech look to it. Computer panels like the walls and heavy, long, red drapes cover the single window in the room.
"You're in Haven City, to be exact, in my computer lab." (Draco)
"Haven City?" (Yai)
"Yes, Haven City. How you got here, I'm not completely sure…" (Draco) 'All I know is that they appeared when I clicked on that funny looking twisty thing,' thinks Draco.
"So then there's no guarantee that we can go back?" (Lan)
"Back to where?" (Draco) He turns to the computer.
"DenTech City." (Maylu)
"I don't see how." (Draco) He types lot and then stops to face them. The three have a sad look on their faces.
"Cheer up Miss Yai, perhaps I could find something on the net?" (Glyde) Yai looks around for a place to jack in Glyde, but finds none. 'This isn't like DenTech City at all…' thinks Yai.
"My name's Draco." (Draco) He turns off the computer and waits for their names.
"I'm Lan."
"I'm Maylu."
"I'm Yai; you may call me Miss Yai."
"And I'm Glyde."
"Ok then, now that we're all introduced… I'm sure you're going to need some place to stay, right?" (Draco) The three look at each other and nod.
"Well, you're welcome to stay here – since I doubt you'll be getting home anytime soon. There's plenty of room in the palace." (Draco)
"What about our families? They're going to know we're gone…"(Maylu) She looks around worried.
"And college? It'll be such a waist of money to pay for it and not even be there…" (Yai)
"What are we going to do here?" (Lan)
"They'll all have to do with out you; as for what you can do here – well, there's plenty to do. My parents should be able to find all of you something to do for good money." (Draco) The three humans sigh, turn and look at each other. They talk quietly to each other for a few minutes and with some advice from Glyde, they decide to go along with Draco. Draco takes them to his parents.
"So they just appeared in the com lab?" (Torn) He's standing with his arms crossed looking slightly annoyed. 'The last time we had time travelers… everything turned inside out…' thinks Torn.
"Yeah…it was really strange." (Draco) 'Strange that the minute I clicked on that funny looking thing that they "popped" into my lab…' thinks Draco. The three humans, who are sitting in chairs at the other end of the room, remain silent as Draco and his parents talk.
"Another rift must have opened…" (Ashelin) She looks at the three humans. 'A very strange rift, hopefully no more things come out of there, we don't need another war…' thinks Ashelin.
"They'll be hard to go unnoticed…" (Torn) He glances at the three humans.
"Just look at those ears… and their clothes." (Torn)
"They'll have to stay in the Palace for a while – until I can do something so it won't be such a problem." (Ashelin)
"As for a job – maybe they can join you in the morning." (Torn) Draco looks back at the humans.
"Perhaps." (Draco)
"There are some empty rooms in the corridor your room's in, they could use those." (Ashelin)
"Ok. Well, I'll go get them settled in and leave you to up to…laugh what ever business you two were up to." (Draco) He turns and motions for the humans to follow him. The three follow him out of the room.
"So, we're staying here?" (Lan)
"Yeah…" (Draco) 'They might come in handy… I'll get a closer look at those things they carry around tomorrow…' thinks Draco. He leads them down several halls. Glyde is busy thinking about the current situation.
"What did she mean by problems?" (Maylu)
"You look different, you dress different… others may not like that, especially after the last time we had visitors… we'll see what we can do to fit you in tomorrow." (Draco)
"What kind of work are you doing tomorrow?" (Yai)
"Training…" (Draco) 'And studying…' thinks Draco.
"For what?" (Glyde)
"For the army here – the Krimson Guard actually." (Draco)
"What!?!" (every one but Draco)
"How can you expect – a beautiful girl like me – to do something like that?!!" (Yai) Yai stops walking.
"Simple – there isn't anythin' better to do. Unles you want to be strip dancer at a bar or a mechanic, there isn't any open jobs for people who don't know much 'bout the city." (Draco) Yai starts walking again, only to have to stop again. Draco walks ina a.
"Uh – they call this empty?" (Draco) He walks out shaking his head and walks across the hall to another door. This process continues on until there are only two doors left to check.
"Well, obviously my room isn't empty." (Draco) He opens the other door.
"Well… it's not exactly empty, but it's the best I've seen so far. Ok, c'mon in." (Draco) The three humans walk in to the room.
It's not as big as the other room in the Palace. It is decorated in red and black. Red is the color of the thick rug and the walls are a pale white. The drapes on the 2 large windows across from the door are black with red trimming, There is a large bed – a canopy top with red and black sheets and pillows. There are two small wooden bureaus along the wall on each side of the bed. There are also a few boxes her e and there along the walls.
"This is it." (Draco) The three look around the room.
"This is completely unacceptable – in a Palace yet! And this is where you expect me to sleep.?" (Yai)
"Please Miss Yai, we are guest…" (Glyde) Yai looks at her PET and makes a face, he's right, they are guests.
"Look, this city's faced some hard times and most of it is under construction – including this Palace." (Draco) Yai makes another face.
"It's not that bad…it's kind'a like the dorm rooms." (Lan) He looks around and yawns.
"Let's just relax for a while, get things together firt." (Maylu) Maylu sits on the bed.
"Yeah, there'll be more time tomorrow to think things through." (Lan)
"If you don't mind, I'm going to bed. Some one'll bring you some food… and clothes. Right now I say you the girl on the bed's idea – relax." (Draco) He walks out.
Well that's all for chapter 2. Now we know they're staying, but we don't know what happened to Megaman and Roll. Find out in the next chapter!!! Thanks for your time and please review on your way out... strange, I know.
