BlackSakura

I stepped out of the dome, watching the fountain in the square from a distance. For awhile no one noticed me, but then someone yelled at me. Of course, I thought they were yelling at some one else. After a few of the yells, the person who was yelling stopped. They walked towards me, frowning.

Now…I had NEVER seen a PC like this guy's. The PC wore all white, which was an option I had never seen before. At a quick glance, you'd think he has used a hacked mod on his character.

"You AFK?" He asked, shoving his face into mine. I instally stumbled back, almost falling on my butt. "Well, no." I answered sheepishly.

"Then why weren't you saying anything?" "Cause I didn't think you were talking to me…"

He gave me a, oh really look. "…Is that a hacked PC?" I asked bluntly. Of course, I get straight to the heavy questions...which usually end with something being slammed in my face.

"…Eh? No. My PC is NOT hacked." "Then why is it all white?" Again. Another blunt question. Sigh. When will I get a backbone?

"…It was from an event CC Corp. had." "Oh. Ok then…Who are you anyway?" "Haseo. And you are…?" "BlackSakura."

Haseo nodded at me slowly. "Ok then…Why were you just standing there if you weren't AFK?" "I'm waiting for some one." "Who?" "Why does it-" "Hey, BlackSakura. Whos this?"

I turned and saw Fawkes, My partner. "F-Fawkes." I stumbled over my words. "Is this the guy you were waiting for?" "Y-Yeah…Haseo, I think someone is looking for you."

I had noticed a Harvest Cleric, or I thought it was a harvest cleric, walking over. "Eh? Oh…Atoli." "Haseo…Yata needs you." "…Ugh. Fine. BlackSakura?" "Yah?" "Would you take Atoli with you somewhere? You could probably use some leveling up...from what I know." "Um…ok then. Atoli? Heres my member address."

It was so sudden, that from what I could see, Atoli was stunned. "U-Um…ok."

She took it and gave me hers. Then I formed a party. "Well, bye Haseo."

I turned and faced the chaos gate. I checked that everyone I asked to be in the party was there and then said, "Delta Hidden, Forbidden, Nothingness!"

The three warped, and Haseo said before also warping to Raven Guild, "A lost ground…?"

Atoli

"…huh?"

When we entered the area, all there was…was white. "What the…? T-This place…" Is almost like the place I lost my epitaph before…

"Whats wrong, Atoli?" I glanced towards the speaker, BlackSakura. "Nothing.."

"Heh…what a play on words."

I glanced back at BlackSakura, who shook her head. I saw Fawkes also shake his head.

"W-who said that…?"

"Hmm? Oh yes, I forgot…normal players-and epitaph users- can't see me…"

A girl…in black appeared. I stepped back, wondering how she knew I was an Epitaph User. I actually FELT BlackSakura and Fawkes grow tense beside her. The teal haired boy, Fawkes, was evidently a Twin Blade, for his weapons appeared in both hands.

"Ooooh, I'm so scared" Taunted the girl in black lace.

"You…You look like Aura!" Her new friend, BlackSakura, yelled at the-I think- AI.

How did BlackSakura know about Aura? And what she looked like?

"BlackSakura! Your weapon!"

As Fawkes yelled to the other girl, I heard the sound that sounded like…a tuning fork? I had used one when I was younger, so I vaguely remember what they sounded like. As I hear the sound, the girl in black lace smiled and began to change…in a bad way.

As The Black-Laced girl began to transform, my body-My real and PC body- began to throb. "N-no…Not now…"

Innis was activating an her own! Why?! Suddenly, I heard Her voice…Innis'. 'They…are the ones who destroyed me…' Who? 'them…the twin blade and the girl…' BlackSakura? Fawkes? '…them…they'll…pay…'

Then…I saw no more.

Innis

'…Them…they'll...pay…'

"Oh…Hi. It seems Innis is activated." I heard two gasps from my enemies. I turned a bit to them, so they could see me. Atoli had been suspended in time for a bit, so I could have a little…fun with my killers.

"Whats going on?!" I turned my head-Atoli's actually- and saw her 'boyfriend,' Haseo. "Heh…" Was all I said.

Haseo stared at me for a few seconds before asking, "Atoli…? Whats…wrong?"

Now, before I could explain I was Innis, The Laced Demon AI attacked the other epitaph user….She attacked Skieth…Skieth can't die…No when he is still needed…

I screamed, and I knew my enemies-and party members ironically- had covered their ears in real life. Skieth- no Haseo- had taken quite a bit of damage.

As my avatar self came…Atoli came to replace me in her PC.

Thus…I was back under her control.

Yata

"Hmmm…Innis...is acting oddly. Is the presence of that AI…? I will have to ask Atoli later."

I watched as the epitaph activating itself, and allowed Atoli control again. Then, I watched as Innis ripped the AI apart...but I knew it wouldn't last. Eventually, I grew bore don the slashing, and looked to Atoli's party, who looked stunned, and were watching Atoli.

I wondered…could they see Innis?!

Then…the AI broke free from Atoli and headed straight for the other two. I heard Atoli's scream, "Fawkes! BlackSakura!"

But they didn't run. In fact…They were prepared. I watched as BlackSakura's scythe-she was a Flick Reaper- sliced cleanly through the AI. It screamed, and Fawkes slashed a few times through it.

"SKEIIIITH!"

"hmm…This is getting interesting…" I watched as Haseo finished off the AI.

After that…it was all downhill.

Haseo

"What the hell was that?!"

I stared at the spot the demon AI had been before. Something had come out of it that was all to familiar to me…Black dotsAIDA.

"A pissed off AI that wanted to delete us?" BlackSakura joked, though She had a serious look on her face. "Sssh." Fawkes said, as if signaling that BlackSakura shouldn't have joked like that.

"Dumba-" "Haseo." "Eh? Who was that?!" BlackSakura looked around, wondering who had spoken.

"Ugh. What Yata?" "Get back to g Atoli with you."

Atoli left their party and as we began to warp back to the root town, Fawkes said, "Wait a sec-"

Fawkes

"Wait a sec, I have a question!"

My hand went out instantly, even in real life. My hand hit the screen, and I grunted with pain. "Fawkes?" "I'm ok."

I noticed BlackSakura step closer to me. I stepped back a bit, so she wasn't in my face. "Well, lets go too. shall we?"

Just before we wrapped, I turned my character a bit. After that…We were in a dark space.

At first, I didn't even know if BlackSakura was there. Then I relaized I had closed my eyes. When I opened them I saw BlackSakura floating next to me…then I realized. Floating?!

That shouldn't even be possible.

Then I noticed the blue framework around us. "What the…? Is this…?"

"The outer workings of the game? Probably." I jumped at Akira-no BlackSakura's voice-. But…it seemed sharpier then before. "BlackSakura…?"\

"…" No answer. What was wrong with her. Then I noticed that the flick reaper had slumped over. "Akira?!" Again, no answer.

Finally…after a few minutes of me panicking, BlackSakura replied, "Laaag…"

"Lag?" another few minutes. "Yeah. I can't talk without it being really slow. Lets reboot, ok?"

I nodded, wondering why BlackSakura lagged but I didn't. I pushed the thought out of my mind and took my FMDs off.

Then, I pushed the restart button.
