Tellos: Part 4

Everyone was filled with the feeling of the end drawing near. I watched the lightning filled the sky as I tried to start the engine. It wouldn't start; the battery was cold dead. All hope was gone.

It didn't dawn on anyone at first, but Koj noticed that, after watching the dancing lightning, the tornado wasn't moving. I watched intently on the dark vortex. He was right!! The tornado wasn't advancing nor retreating. I got out of the bus and walk toward the spinning vortex.

"Have you lost your mind?" Todd yelled. "Fine good riddence. Who needs you?"

"I'm checking something out. Don't cry to me." I yelled back. "Besides I think this 'tornado' is nothing more than another getway to another realm." I continued to walk towards the "tornado" in hope to find out what it truly was. Several more lightning bolts darted towards the ground near the base of the vortex. It illuminated the area around, and lines of ones and zeros were exposed. That wasn't right. Unless....."...the Digital World. I thought that was only from a cartoon show." I continue to watch as I crept closer to the vortex. "It is true!!!" I turned back and yelled back towards to the occupants of the bus, "Hey, its alright. It's not a tornado; it's a gateway to the digital world."

Five beams of light exited the stationary, spinning vortex. The first light hit the closes person, myself. The light covered the right forearm. The next beam covered the right forearm of Figaro. Xavier, Kiyote, and Mikhail, who was still in the bus, also had a beam of light strike them. At first it went unnoticed by it quickly came clear that Kiyote, Figaro, and myself were back to our human forms. I didn't even know that Kiyote was also a rager, like Figaro and myself.

"There goes $50,000 down the toilet." Kiyote complained. "And to think, they told me that I wouldn't be human after the transformation."

"It's no one fault. These beams of light caused you to turn human again..." the light turned to a new digital device. "This may be the answer to all our problems and the cause at the same time. I think once we figure out how to use these devices, we can go back to our other forms. Besides I'm still wearing Lion Warrior's clothes."

The vortex left the ground reveiling our worst nightmare, Malesur. I ran back to the bus, I was way too close to him. We got to find out how to use these damn digi-vices before it's too late. Kojee and Koj were standing side-by-side, making it hard to tell them apart. Malesur, meanwhile was confused to why there were two Koj's.

"Two Koj's, this gives me an idea." I cheered. "Rikk, do you still have the Sphere of 'Squerade?" Rikk nodded. "Good, everyone gather round. It's time for a change. But first, let's get outta sight." Everyone ducked along side the bus, out of Malesur's sight. "Ready for some total confusion." We walked back into Malesur's sight. There was not two Kojee's this time, but a dozen Koj's.

"Fine, be like that, you meadling interlopers." Malesur growled. "We will soon find out who is the real Koj... back in Tellos." The tornado touched back down, taking with in Malesur. This time it began to move towards us, drawing us nearer and nearer. Dani was the first to be absorbed by the tornado. Then one-by-one the Koj's were being absorbed into the vortex.

The power of the vortex overhealmed us, causing us to look normal, except for one minor change - our clothes. They were Tellosian fashion. I guess this will help us, since we were now in Tellos!
