This chapter is a bit short, but they will be longer in the future, i just wanted to give you a basis of whats going to happen within the story
THANKS!
(Blossom's POV)
My sisters and I all sat around a table looking down at the soggy wet newspaper laying on the wooden surface. The news headline read:
VIRTUAL DEATH NOW A REALITY.
About a month ago a new game had come out in stores where you could put on headgear and be placed inside of a virtual world. It seemed highly intriguing to most except only 2,000 of headers and games were created, not to mention because of the vast amount of people who wanted to get their hands on the rare item, it drove the cost up. The only game that had been made compatible with the headgear was 'Beyond Online'.
Beyond Online was a world were swords and various other weapons could be used in battle, however there was other skills and jobs that could be acquired through out the game. The only problem was, once you logged in, you couldn't log out. No one knew of this error in the system until opening day when 2,000 people placed there headgear on and couldn't come back out. The penalty for family's and friends, who tried to take the headgear off the player, was the player's brain was fried. Not to mention if you died inside the game, you also died in real life, explaining the headline.
"So what do we do?" Bubbles looked up, her voice shaking from grief.
Not only was this a tragedy for the world and the gaming community, but a tragedy for the us as well seeing as some of our school companions had foolishly spent the money for the game and was now trapped inside.
"There's nothing we can do." Bunny, my violet eyed, sister sighed. Beside her sat Buttercup, grief stricken and furious.
She slammed her fist down on the table "There has to be something we can do." She masked the hurt in her voice, but you could still hear the faint sound of desperation passing through her lips. "We are the powerpuff girls, we have to do something."
Rubbing my temples I looked at each of my three sisters "The only possible thing we can do is go into the game ourselves," I shook my head "however that would be stupid on our part if we did, we don't know what we are working with, what kind of power and monsters are inside."
"We probably wouldn't have our powers either." Bunny laid her chin on her palm
"If we died in there who would be out here saving the town." Bubbles pondered to herself, unaware that we too had heard her speak
"We would be walking right into our graves." I frowned; for once in my life I didn't have a solution to the problem.
"Maybe our problem is we worry about Townsville to much, it's time we worried about more than that, like the entire world." Buttercup spoke confidently "and if we die, we die fighting, like always."
"You act like this is normal." Bunny looked up at the green-eyed-girl "We've never dealt with something like this, and even if we did, where are we supposed to get 4 headgears and the game?"
"Getting our hands on the game wont be quite as hard as the headgears seeing as those who bought them are currently wearing them, and cannot be removed." I explained
"There's bound to be somebody who isn't using it." Bubbles squeaked
She was right, 120 players had already died because their families were unaware of the sudden death that was placed upon the player when the headgear was removed. However I wasn't positive I wanted to wear something that had fried another person's brain.
"If," I looked at buttercup "If we can get our hands on these items, I suppose at this point in time, going into the game is the best solution for the lives of those in it, however do not get your hopes up…" the other three girls nodded, understanding the task at hand. "And no one, and I mean no one, can know what we are planning."
Each girl stood from the table and left for their individual rooms. I headed towards the pink door with little cherry blossoms professionally carved onto it. I stood in front of the door, fixed the bow that lay on my head. I turned the knob and walked in, the cool breeze hit my face. I had accidentally left the window open on, letting in the cool night air. Quietly i walked over and shut it.
I sat down at the vanity, looking, staring into my reflection. All I saw was a tired 17-year-old girl, with exhausted eyes that resembled the color of a beautiful pink rose. My auburn hair was completely falling out of the neat pink bow, it was time for a haircut I suppose, but of course only a slight trim, nothing crazy.
After removing the makeup from my face and brushing out my red locks, I slipped into my pajamas, matching of course, and then relaxed into my bed.
I slightly hopped tomorrow would never come; I didn't want to track down these items that would lead to our death. If I entered this game with my sisters, one of us would die, i was positive of that, there was no way all of us could get out alive. Besides, I would not let my sisters fall to their knees in real life, it certainly would not happen in a fake one. If it came to, I would step forward in the place of my sisters, I was the eldest essentially, i was the leader, and the captain always goes down with the ship.
(Buttercup's POV)
Of course my sisters think I'm crazy, sometimes I believe I'm crazy, but something needed to be done about the deaths of the 120 players, and the rest who are trapped with in the game.
I didn't care about brushing out my hair, I wasn't Blossom or Bubbles, and it was just going to get naughty again in my sleep. Nor did I care about take the makeup off my face, what normal person did? I threw off my pants and slipped on an over-sized t-shirt the professor had given me.
I wish we could get inside the game quicker, but I knew it would take some time to find 4 headgears and Beyond, but I was confident we could get in and save everyone, well who ever was left anyways.
So that is it my friends, please please please feel free to review.
