Disclaimer: I do not own MS and if I did holy cripes I think this world will be dominated by me already... I also don't own very much anything in this story... if it includes my character being a character with MS clothes... then I guess I don't own that either... OO cripes...

I must make it clear that these are only the names of the characters, they're not based on video games or anime shows. Anyways on with de story

It's not a game anymore

Chapter 1: Here we are

Marth reached over for his canteen. It appeared to have sprung a leak. His armor had been heavy for the whole way. He threw his crossbow on the ground. Roy turned around and watched as Marth suffered in the heat. It came to the point where Roy fell on his knees and decided to rest. He dropped his bow and closed his eyes. Back to Marth: His legs were to weak to go any farther. He fell on his back to the ground. He breathed heavily and then threw his canteen at Roy's head. Roy fell flat on the floor. For a while they were both on the floor. Roy then realized that he was just bonked on the head with an empty canteen. He lifted his head up and sighed," your water bucket sprung a leak too?" Marth lifted his head and just gave him cut-eye. Roy turned away thinking, "never mind."

Marth frowned, "what do you think? And it's called a canteen you noob."

Roy laughed for absolutely no reason. Marth began to think he was just going insane over the heat now. He then closed his eyes and thought in his head, "what the hell, I'm not even going to ask now."

He then opened his eyes, the sky had been as blue as ever today... And like always in Perion, it was extremely hard to see anything. Every thing had been covered by mist. The two of them had been very lucky to have not crossed paths with a copper drake. Otherwise they would have been fried, baked or however the hell drakes like human's meat cooked...

'It feels weird. I can feel, hear, and see everything. I can taste... I can... This orange is so juicy. One of the best oranges I have ever tasted. Better than Florida oranges. My eyes get watery from looking around in Perion. I started here, and right now. Imagine all of the other places. What about the NPCs? The people here, all of those pros that mock me, or make fun of me for no reason at all. I can now finally beat the living shit out of all of them. Not to mention use all my strength to kill monsters. Yes, that's right, enough of this leveling process. These clothes suck; I can finally rob cash shop or change my clothing style. But the problem: all of this beats the purpose of playing the game. When just looking at a screen I can see the cutest, randomest and biggest monsters. Right now, there is more to Maple story. Now those big monsters are real. And I can die from them.'

"Whoa!" Marth yelped, "contimplational excuse!"

He had risen from the rough floor and had felt alright again. He touched the floor with his hands. His bamboo hat had fallen off of his head. He watched it blow in the wind for a while until he had realized that his most favorite hat ever had blown away.

Roy got up very slowly and whined, "what happen?"

"No! Bamboo come back!" Marth yelled.

He swiftly got off of his feet and ran like hell. Roy trailed behind him. Marth eventually tripped over a root and fell on his face. Roy finally had caught up with him and laughed at his face.

"Ha! All this for some bamboo hat, you know if you had lost it, we could have just bought one at the free market," Roy smiled.

"You know, Roy... Stuff at the free market is not free. And why the hell would someone be selling a bamboo hat when it's so damn hot out here? Who would want to sell a precious bamboo hat, period!" Marth yelled at Roy's face.

Suddenly, as if out of no where appeared a shadow. The shadow drew closer, and closer, and closer and Ahhhhhhh!

"Oh my God! A drake! Marth! Where's your crossbow? Where's my bow? Noooo!" Roy shouted confused and panicky.

"Marth! Roy!" the shadow shouted.

Marth and Roy ran to a shadowy hole in the plateau. The shadow followed them. They still couldn't see the face, but it had looked like a drake. The size, the glowing eyes at this time of day, his claws.

"Why does the drake know our names? You know how incredibly freaky that is?" Marth worried out loud.

"You're right," Roy thought over. "Maybe It's some one we know..."

Marth cracked his neck, "Roy! How many drakes do you know?"

"Ugh, ok no comment."

Suddenly a growling sound sprout out from the edge of the mountain.

"Oh my God. Roy! Maybe this drake is a vegetarian and thinks that we are moving salads. Just look like meat," Marth whispered to him.

Roy just looked at Marth and pouted, "you know how stupid that idea is?"

Marth laughed, "well it's our only option."

"To look like meat? Marth don't forget we aren't playing a game any more! This is reality!" Roy sighed.

Marth crept out from the corner and whispered, "it's clear, come on out, we should find our weapons."

The two of them ran like hell to where they left their weapons but bumped into something while turning into a corner.

They looked up. It was a drake; yep that was a drake alright. They could now clearly see that... It just looked like a drake. The figure circled Marth and Roy. He began to laugh.

"Roy, Marth! Where in the world are your weapons?" he asked.

"Crunk?"Roy questioned.

The guy removed the claws of his hands and wiped them with a green cloth. He also removed the sun glasses off of his face. Everyone remained silent. Marth and Roy helplessly just watched as Crunk did... Whatever he was doing. Finally Roy stood forward and grinned.

"When did u get sun glasses?" He asked.

Marth pulled out his arms and held them out as if he was reaching for something. He then started stretching for no reason.

"Well, what would you expect? He robbed the cash shop. He IS a rogue, you know," Marth smiled.

Crunk F1ed him... Well gave him cut-eye. Marth replied with the 'what the hell, what did i do' look.

"Marth, I'm an assassin. You know claws?" Crunk said to him patiently.

Marth and Roy looked at each other and laughed. Then Crunk started laughing with them. They laughed for a long period of time.

"So... Why are we laughing?" Crunk finally asked.

"I don't know," Marth responded.

"No clue, " Roy also responded.

The sun had finally risen from the clouds again. Once again it was blazing hot. The 3 of them worked on towards Perion's town. It had been long since any of them had seen other people.

"Looks like we have to buy another crossbow and bow, Marth," Roy stated after a long period of time of walking.

"Looks like... Looks like you're right!" Marth yelped.

"Eh..."

The 3 of them bent close to the ground almost touching it with their hands. In fact scratches began to develop on the boys' fingers.

"So what's with that giant back pack you have over your back? You heading some where big?" the crossbow man asked.

Crunk nodded, "well first of all, I'm heading over to Perion. Then I'm going over to Ellinia. I wanted to check out Orbis. I hear that there are monsters that are willing to give off free weapons before we even kill them. They've stopped being merciful."

"Now doesn't that sound great, Roy?" Marth laughed, "Let's catch ourselves some free equipment. Say, Crunk, how full do you think the boat will be?"

"Marth, if it were a boat, first of all, there would hardly be any space for this bag. You mean ship,"

Crunk corrected.

"Yeah, what ever."

"But think about it. Maple story use to eliminate lags by creating more channels," Crunk stated.

Everyone stopped moving. For a few minutes they all thought about it.

Suddenly Crunk had gone on again, "Now that every single player in Maple Story plays a real role, there is no such thing as a channel. We are all just bunched together in one world. So... There is going to be a lot of people boarding on the first or second ride to Orbis and Ludibrium."

"I see, and you figured that you would get on, and not us?" Marth smirked.

"You gotta be kidding!" Roy laughed, "We don't have a chance. Well maybe Crunk does with haste."

Roy and Marth looked at Crunk evilly. Crunk sweated.

"This can't be good" Crunk laughed nervously in his head.

"Hey Crunk, how about you whip us some of that haste you've got there?" Marth asked mischievously.

Crunk laughed, "I thought you were gonna ask me to whip you! Hahaha, and my answer is no!"

Roy and Marth's happy faces changed to frowns.

"Why not?" Roy pouted.

Crunk shouted, "Because! I only have enough for myself! Remember, mana potions no longer heal our magic. It takes a while. And when we stand in one place we don't instantly heal 10 life points. We don't even have life points any more, If we die, we die!"

"I have nothing more to say about this. We'll figure out another way to get to Orbis… Maybe we'll ride a balrog or some thing," Roy sighed.

The other two remained silent.

"Where did you even get the idea to ride one?" Crunk sighed and slapped his face.

Marth laughed, "Well there is no use standing around all day, let's go now."

"Well we can't fight about it. Here we are. Stuck in MS. Lets get out." Crunk stated.

The 3 moved on, and they approached closer and closer to Perion's town.

So… How did I do? First fan fiction and all. Plz R & R. Well, just do the 2nd R (review)
