King Drasil
It had been five months, fourteen days, twenty-two hours, forty-five minutes, and fifteen seconds and counting since the mysterious threat had materialized in the digital world. At first, it was a simple unknown variable and the god of the Digital World had begun calculations on how to properly handle such an anomaly. However, even for the supercomputer A.I known as King Drasil this proved...increasingly difficult. Just as quickly as it finished one computation, the variable shifted and compounded once again...and with each shift, it became more dangerous. It was quickly gaining traction and destroying the world Drasil governed and worked to maintain balance of, and this was something that could not stand. The solution was to expunge this threat, immediately. The Royal Knights, the mightiest warriors at King Drasils behest were rallied and ordered to eradicate the problem program that was slowly destroying the world as they knew it. And as a King demands, so the Knights would obey. Oh, how foolish it had been, the calculations hadn't been correct...the variable shifted again. King Drasil had lost contact with the Knights, and he was acutely aware some had been digitized to data...of the others, he was unsure, but dead they were not. Drastic measures would have to be taken. New variables introduced. The giant world tree hummed with life for a few minutes, the last minutes it would have before entering stasis for a drastic update. "Runtime: Initiated. Failsafe: Initiated. Firewalls: Disabled; window of opportunity five minutes. Attempting bootup of secondary host... Failed. Attempting bootup of secondary host...error, end result unclear. Activating Protocol: Digidestined. You children who bear light in your hearts, I beseech you...offer aid unto this world, and save your own. Error; stasis in five minutes...Sylvie and Aki Fukuda, Kyler McLellan, Pyrite Revrant, Rokuro Hamasaki, Mashu Remmington...Digidestined determined. Connection established. Firewall opened to allow access. Stasis preparing." A massive burst of energy flashed from the massive tree before it slowly dimmed...and with one last protocol activated, King Drasil fell silent as he began a stasis reboot to update for the threat they all faced.

Fukuda Residence
At last...Saturday evening. A chance to spend the waning hours of the evening without a curfew to worry about. Her sisters were playing cards in their room, her little brother was asleep in the crib...her parents were still at work and likely wouldn't be home until unreasonably late as always. Sylvie sipped a cup of tea as she stared at her computer screen, trying to get a string of code to come together correctly to finish her personal programming project. Nothing flashy, just a way to better schedule her time and her school work with the little amount of personal time she had for herself. Almost there, she was so close to figuring this out, she knew it. However, right before she finally fixed the line of code, her screen went stark white, causing the poor girl to squint and cover her eyes for a moment. "What? That's not right...Maybe if I-" Before she finish her line of thought a 'portal' opened up in the front of her PC, sucking her in head first as her body distorted for but a brief moment, pulled through.

The Digital Fields
Sylvie groaned, blinking her eyes. She was on her back...the feeling of grass tickling the nape of her neck, a soft breeze blowing around her, sun overhead...what just happened? She groaned, rubbing the back of her head as she slowly sat upright...what was in her hand? She glanced down at her clenched fist, opening her fingers to reveal some sort of keychain attached to a rope about her wrist, the symbol looking like an open palm holding a heart...what the heck was this? And where was she? "Hello!?" She slowly stood up to look around...she was in a field...there were other people here, just a bit more spread out so she couldn't really tell how many were here, nor who they were. And the fields simply rolled forever, endless planes of green grass that blew beneath a gentle breeze. "...I must be dreaming."
