.Hack/ Shadows of Rebirth

Alright people here's where I begin a new and this time I sticks by it. A little heads up too, the time line is off ( meaning it does not follow the series and games) and some characters personality and appearance will change according to the flow of the story. I do not own anything related to .hack.

Remember...DON"T FLAME! And Ideas are welcome.

The beginning

A being appeared to be floated in an endless sea of darkness with no beginning and no end. He slowly opened his eyes and look at his surrounding only to see...nothing. He appeared to be alone in an endless sea of darkness. He try to move his body only to find that he had little mobility. Confuse and disoriented he spoke to no one in particular.

"Where...where am I?"

"You are...where you belong child" a voice responded the first.

This startle him, he was not expecting an answer. But whoever answer could not be seen. " Who- who are you? What is this place? That last thing I remember...was a battle. But no...I was there but at the same time I wasn't. What's going on?"

"You are where your kind belong...in the darkness...destined to be here for all eternity never to see the light of day...and suffer your fate" as the voice said this extreme pain pass through the first voice body. He was now panting.

"W-what's happening to m-me. W-why are you doing this?"

"Because you are...were you belong."

( 'The World')

It was another ordinary day in "The World". The streets were full with player chatting, trading, and (for the newbies) exploring the city that was Mac Anu. However, between the realms of the world the three Azure Knights have gather in a white room by their goddess's command. Aura,the ultimate A.I., have summoned her knight to report the status of the world. Slowly she made her way to the three knights bowing to her presence, her eyes landed on the smallest figure of the three.

Sadness filled her for every time she looked at him she saw another one, a boy who once saved "The World" with the help of his friends. The resemblance was similar to that of the boy and try to hide her feelings from the three, especially the young one. With a sigh, Aura dismiss her knight to return to their duties and disappeared within the sea of data. The two taller knight rise from their position and left to resume their given jobs. But the young knight didn't even butch an inch, he was too deep within his thoughts. He was angry and disappointed. No matter how hard he try to please his creator, his attempts were all in vain.

'Its not fair' He thought angrily ' No matter what I do it will never be enough because she doesn't sees me, she only sees 'Him' saying him with venom. ' Dammit all!'. He took a deep breath and stood from his position, he had a job to do and standing in one place wasn't helping him finish it faster. He made his way out of the room to continue his knight's duties, but a certain player still haunted his restless mind.

( In the Real World)

A teen was packing up his school belongings and was readying himself to go home. Since he didn't live far from school he always walks home from school and vice versa. On his way there were many thoughts passing. Why you may ask? He was going to log back in the new version of "The World" for a reunion. It has been five years since the incident of the 'Wave', three years since the Legend of the Twilight, and two since the G.U. Project. It was the first time in five years since he log in, but he had a face of indifference. Kite has change from the happy but courageous boy to a serious, bored looking guy who had a bad temper at times, but he was able to control those tempers and simply ignore which ever was the cause.

' -sigh- I might as well get this over with' he thought in a bored tone.

Once home, he check the house for any sign of his parents, they weren't home.

" Good the last thing I need is them being here." he said to no one in specific.

He quickly finish his homework with ease and went straight to his computer in his room. His friend Yasuhiko came by early to installed the new version, so all he had to do was log in. Once he put the ID and Password he made a quick modification to his character. He made it a little taller, his pants less baggy, gloves shorter and a different style in the t-shirt. When it was done he logged in.

( ' The World': Mac Anu)

The first thing he vaguely notice was that Mac Anu has changed. The Mac Anu he was familiar with a bit older like from the times of barbarians and such, this one was more about his age but with a few years backwards. Ignoring the other details he made his way to the center of the city and ignore each person he encounter, politely saying to take a hike.

' Hmm...although the place changed, its pretty much the same shit, how boring and pointless' he thought in such a way that he would made an emo proud.

Lost in his thought he did not notice another player, who clearly wasn't paying attention, running at full speed toward him, when...

BAM!!

After the crash and falling the player slowly got up from his position " Oh man what the heck did I hit" said the player while rubbing his face. " That would have been a nasty fall, good thing I landed in this soft pillow!"

" Glad to have helped you" said the 'pillow' sarcastically.

The player had a stupefied face for a few seconds, " Huh?!" he said, 'Pillows don't talk do they?' he thought as he looked down only to see that his so called pillow was another player with his face planted on the floor. The player sweat drop and stare.

" Do you mind getting off of me?" Kite said in an annoyed tone once noticing the other wasn't moving an inch.

-5 seconds later-

" OHMYGODIMSOFRIGGINSORRYIDIDNTSEEYOUTHEREAND..." the player sudden stop jabbering and stare. He knew the player that was standing before him anywhere . "OH—MY—FRIGGING—GOD!... Your Kite, the legendary player who saved "The World" five years ago."

Kite was surprise, thou he didn't show it. He wasn't expecting anyone to recognize him, especially from this weirdo.

" Alright you, so you know who I am, so the real question is who are you?" Kite said to the other player looking bored.

" OMFG, YOUR SO AMAZING, I MEAN ALL THOSE THINGS YOU DID ITS...ITS SIMPLY AMAZING AND THE TIME WHEN YOU..." the player continue to ramble on completely ignoring Kite's question, thus making him annoyed, well more than usual.

" Are you a Stalker or are you simply one of those dorky fans." Kite said in an annoyed tone.

This got the player attention, in that moment he thought of all the Kite action figure, close, bed sheets, poster, and others items he had in his room. In other words, he was a dorky fan. But he couldn't let Kite know that, he would think his weird, weirder than usual anyway.

"NO!..." he shouted but quickly regain the little composure he had " eeeeeeeeeehhh...hehehehe, no sorry got distracted there didn't I" he said. Kite raise a brow, obviously he didn't buy the explenation he got from his weird stalker.

" I'll ask one more time and you better give me an answer, who are you?" Kite ask once more.

The payer look at Kite with a dorky grin. He straighten himself up and put his two now fisted arms on his hips and proudly said " Oh that easy! I bet you know by now who I am. My name is..."

Well there you have it the first chapter and more will be on the way with or without reviews, but reviews are welcome, JUST DON'T FLAME.
