"I'm sorry but you will all have to say goodbye...."

"All aboard for Inaba! All aboard for Inaba!" A train intercom boomed across the barely filled lobby of the train station.

"No! I want to go back with him!"

A lone boy was the only one who stood up at the announcement from where he sat. Two girls behind him whispered about his weird flame jacket. The boy just shook his head causing his short mahogany bangs to shake across his eyes before heading to the open train doors. He had more things to worry about then what random girls had to gossip about.

"Hey! What's wrong with you?!"

The boy placed his blue soccer bag in the rack above before sitting down in the empty train car. He let out a sigh for the current situation he got himself in this time.

"I'm sorry I can't make it today."

He stuck his hand into his jacket and pulled out a photo of him and his best friend.

"I'm sorry but I have to stripe you of leadership status. Hand me your goggles."

He let out a tear and it fell on the small blue lizard in the picture and whispered, "Veemon, I wish you were here right now."

"For your constant bad behavior and complaints from the principle I'm sending you to your uncle's...."

He restuffed the picture back into his pocket and closed his eyes hoping that a year will pass quickly.

"Welcome to the Velvet Room." A mysterious voice spoke. "My name is Igor."

The boy opened his eyes to his new surroundings. It seemed to be a giant horse drawn carriage used haul important people back during medieval Japan that had blue accents.

In the long seat, in the middle, sat an old looking bald man with a long nose. He also noticed a girl his age with long white curly hair tied into two bows with bright yellow eyes. She gave a comforting smile to him and he tried his best to deliver his own to be polite.

"Where am I?" He asked. His eyes trained to the old man now who gave a light chuckle.

"This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter. It is a room that only people bound by a contract may enter." Igor answered.

"Dream and reality? Bound by a contract? What does all of it even mean?" The boy thought.

"Wait I even haven't gotten into a contract."

"Maybe, but you may end up with it soon." The girl finally spoke.

The boy quirked a brow before Igor spoke again.

"How about you introduce yourself young man?" Igor asked.

"I'm Daisuke Motomiya, but I prefer being called Davis. I'm fifteen and in the 10th grade." Davis answered as he slumped. "You'll probably want to forget it later on, but for now who's the girl?"

"Hold on! He isn't done yet." The girl spoke firmly and Davis just rolled his eyes.

"Ok. Then get on with what you need so I can wake up already." Davis grumbled. He wasn't in the mood for a dream like this right now.

"Ah. I can see your tension on you Davis. Let me ask you something. Do you believe in fortune telling?" Igor asked. Davis just shrugged his shoulders.

"Well let us take a look at your fortune." Igor smiled as he summoned cards on the table before him. "How about you choose the cards?"

Davis leaned forward and pointed to two cards that immediately flipped face up. One was a tower and the other was the moon.

"So what do these mean?" Davis asked curiously as he looked up at the old man.

"The tower in the upright position represents the immediate future. It seems a terrible catastrophe is imminent." Igor stated.

"I'm sure that isn't something new for you though huh?" The white haired girl asked. Davis was taken aback by the question but he nodded.

"The card that indicates the future of the tower is the Moon in the upright position. This card represent hesitation and mystery. You will encounter a great misfortune at your destination and a great mystery will be imposed upon you."

Davis groaned. If the man's fortune is true Davis is going to need to solve some sort of mystery and he was not very good at thinking things ahead that much.

"In the coming days, you will enter a contract of some sort, after which you will return here. The coming year is a turning point in your destiny. If you do not complete this trial set before you, your future may be forever lost."

"So it's up to me to save the world again right?" Davis asked. Igor nodded. "Then what else is new?"

The girl chuckled, "You may find this to be a bit for challenging then your last adventure."

"Ok. But then why am I to return here then? What does this place have to do with me? And what do you guys even do?" Davis continued.

"You will find out soon enough. As for us it is our duty to provide assistance to our guests to ensure that they succeed in their quest." Igor answered.

"Well if that's true then who is the girl? I'm pretty sure I need to know her name."

"My name is Helena and I am Igor's assistance." Helena answered leaning forward to shake Davis's hand. Davis hesitated for a moment before gripping her hand in his own.

"We will continue this later Davis. Until then we bid you farewell." Igor stated.

"Wait what?" Davis asked when all of a sudden the room went black.
