## Synopsis

Inacio Totanaga goes online into the VR MMORPG game called, Digimon Adventure and lands in the lobby area called Town of Legends and meets with Sai Ogawa and Reji Ogawa. The trio new to the game each notice that every player online has a Digimon except for them and that a lot of people are online tonight as well. They attempt to speak with other players but get no real answer. Soon they are met by Hitomi Takamora and Emiko Takamora who are also lost about the functions of the game as the two also bought the game the same day. Minutes later each player in the lobby were given a message on their digivice to meet at the Trail Station to learn more of the event that was happening tonight. The group decided to follow the crowd and once at the station, every player are met with a hologram of a woman named Mirei Mikagura who announces that the new event is about to begin where 12 powerful items are hidden within the game but are guarded by a mega-level raid boss. Everyone's digivice then showed a data prompt of a map that would direct them in the location of where the raid bosses are separately located. She finally says that the event will last only 24 hours and afterwards the items will no longer be available within the game.

Once the transmission ended, the players would notice that everyone in the lobby are going into 4 separate trains that were each going into the four different cardinal directions but their digivices would guide them to an area that is off the grid of the map. Inacio wanted to follow the map but Hitomi insisted that they go the shops and purchase possible equipment. The group agrees to her idea an first enters Pumpkin Spice Items and meets the shop owner, Pumpkinmon. The Digimon showed them how to purchase items in the game and sold HP Capsule Cs to Inacio, Hitomi, Emiko and Sai as well as an additional a Fire Recovery C to Sai. The group leaves the shop and goes into the Digi-Advance and meets the shopkeeper, they ask her if she knows how the game functions and why don't they have a digimon which she answers that she only knows how to sell items from the shop. Hitomi purchases Armament Strength and Inacio purchased DNA Charge. Once out of the shop, the group decides to finally follow their map which lead them to a dead end alleyway that had a digital hole in the wall. The hole had a corruption-like distortion appearance and glitched out every other second. Looking through the hole they found another train station except it was empty and had only one railroad track.

The group jumped in the hole and examined the train station until they finally heard the noises of a train on its way. A train soon came that was alive and called itself Trailmon who told the players to get inside as he was given the task with taking them to the Forest of Hope. Having no other option, the group enters one of Trailmon's passenger carts but before it left the station, another player appeared and entered Trailmon, he introduced himself to the group as Asmodeus "Mode" Williams. Trailmon departs and the group takes this time to speak about their current situation and the weird events happening to them. Having no idea why they don't have a Digimon and why they were lead this strange direction compared to other players. The Trailmon would then come to a hard halt which causes most of the group to fall over. It would force them out of its passenger cart, leaving them in a forest-like area, and abandon them in the forest alone.

Now lost in this unknown area, the group checks their digivices for assistance and notices that their log out button was now missing and that that their maps were leading them deeper into the forest. Concerned that they may be stuck in the video game, the group decides to take their only lead and dives deeper into the forest. While walking they noticed that this new area felt different than the rest of the game, they felt a temperature difference as it was suddenly hotter and their environment looked and felt real. Inacio attempted to climb a tree but only to find out the tree was alive named Cherrymon and the elder Digimon knocked him off. The two argued until Cherrymon waved its branches and leaves forcing a Snimon to appear and swipe at Inacio cutting his shirt.

After traveling for a bit, the group would overhear noises and decide to hide. The group looks over and sees a five Goblimon grouped together. Inacio insults Hitomi by saying she looked similar to the Goblimon who retaliates and punches him in the face. The group wanted to to stealth pass the noises but Inacio instead walks out the bushes and announces himself to the Goblimon. Able to speak their language, Inacio asked what they were doing which they reply they were looking for statues. The Red Goblimon questions what Inacio was doing in the forest which he replies back he doesn't know either and takes out his Digivice. The Red Goblimon sees the device and tells Inacio to give him the digivice or die. This starts a fight between the group of players and the Goblimon Unit.

The battle seems to be in the Goblimon's favor until the players begin to learn more of their abilities and notices that when they defeat a Goblimon, a ring of data would appear around them and the their digivices activate giving them the option to "scan" the data or "delete" the digimon. Inacio scanned two Goblimon while Hitomi deleted one. Soon only two Goblimon were left and attempted to escape but were stopped by Sai's Webbing spell and the group catching up to them. Hitomi wanted to delete the two but the group stopped her and questioned them instead. Asmodeus used the Zone of Truth spell so the Goblimon couldn't lie and through interrogating, the group learn that they were sent by their boss Ogremon to look around the forest for statues and that their boss was further into the forest inside of a cave. The group decides to let them live and escape while leaving their clubs so they can't harm anyone else. Now knowing that a battle maybe ahead, the group takes a small rest in the forest. Reji decides to climb a tree to see if he can notice anything in the distance and sees not only the cave but further from the cave he sees a bright glow. Seeing that their digivices points them in that direction as well, they aren't sure if its the cave or the light that is their true destination. While resting, Reji also scavenges for food for the group to eat which he finds a few large apples. The group with the exception of Sai eats the apples and gain temporary hit points that last an hour.
