File 02. Of plans and siblings.
CCcorp server.
"Alright let's go over it again."
Skeith frowned at Corbenik "Dude, we've been through it at least one hundred times!" Corbenik chuckled and wagged a finger in Skeith's face "Fool. It never hurts to go over plans of attack multiple times." Tarvos sighed and rolled his eyes "Come on Corbenik, we have gone over your 'plans of attack' literally a hundred times! The plan has been repeated so many times that I've almost forgotten your name! The plan has been burned, impaled with billions of sharp things, dumped in brain cement, written with my brain meat on the inside of my skull, wrapped in a large golden brick and thrown into my brain again and again!" Macha narrowed her eyes sending shivers down Corbenik's, Skeith's, and Tarvos's spines "I am going to turn you into dust if you repeat the plan again! Lady Aura still hasn't forgiven you for the clothing data incident." Corbenik laughed off Macha's threats and simply replied "My curiosity got the better of me. I wanted to see what would have happened, how the players, especially the female's, would react and how CCcorp would respond."
Innis rolled her eyes "Oh they responded alright. They locked you up for days in the server of eternal happiness." Everyone except Corbenik shuddered; Corbenik thrust a finger into the air and laughed "NEVER THE LESS! I escaped and, am here now so deal with it!" Macha pulled out her twin blades and, with an evil gleam in her eye, muttered "Don't tempt me." Corbenik, once again, laughed her threats off and continued "Besides, the server of eternal happiness isn't as bad as you think! It's like listening to a man sing the numa numa song in an extremely high pitched voice. Horrifying at first, yet with time becomes hilarious." Macha rolled her eyes but kept her blades aimed at Corbenik.
…Yo.
The group watched as, from the vast white space, came a small azure orb which morphed into a red twin blade. The zombie twin blade glared raggedly at them. "Kite! Buddy!" Corbenik walked over and slung an arm around the zombie's shoulder and neck "You and I have much to talk about!" He then began strangling the twin blade "LIKE WHY YOU RATTED ME OUT ABOUT THE CLOTHING DATA!" Kite's eyes began rolling up into his head, not the Corbenik seemed to notice "YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HORRIBLE THE SERVER OF ETERNAL HAPPINESS IS! MY SANITY IS A WRECK!"
Skeith stepped in with a sigh and dragged the two apart, Corbenik cried out as he was flung to the ground behind Skeith "MEANWHILE, Are you ready to go Kite?" The ragged twin blade nodded slowly as he tried to get some air into his lungs.
The world's black box data right?
"We planned out what we're gonna do there!" Came a voice from the ground behind Skeith followed an irate Macha snarling "THAT'S IT!" She, and Tarvos, then proceeded to hurl themselves at Corbenik; twin blades raised, and began to maul the poor AI to oblivion. Another sweat drop formed on Kite's PC.
I take it I was a little late for the meeting?
Skeith sighed and swung an arm around the twin blades neck "I prefer to think of it as 'protected from a woman's wrath'. It seems to work out better that way overall." The two nodded in unison and turned back to the group. Innis, being her usual bubbly self, hopped over to Kite and smiled "Hello master of azure flames!"
…..It's Kite….
Innis chuckled and turned away shrugging "Details." She began looking over the group "So…are we missing anyone?" Skeith was busy attempting to pry Macha and Tarvos off Corbenik…and failing. Magus watched the fighting siblings with a growing urge to join in. Fidchell sat in a corner reading a book titled 'the world for dummies'. The Gorre twin sat back to back watching player's battle monsters on mini screens. And Macha and Tarvos were busy punching/slashing Corbenik. Innis turned back to Kite with another bubbly smile "Nope! We're all set!"
Aren't you gonna help him?
Innis stole a quick glance to Corbenik before quickly flickering back to Kite and smiling ominously "Don't be silly! They're just play fighting!" Kite watched as Macha began kicking Corbenik's crotch.
"Juuuuuuust play fighting!"

"And he just attacked you without hesitation?" Blackrose had explained everything that happened to Balmung during his absence in the world. Orca simply settled for watching other players pass the trio by. "If that is true, then I'll talk with Lios. He's seen Kite in RL before so maybe he can help." Blackrose tsk'ed in distaste "Lios? The man who blamed me an' Kite for the damages to the world during the second Pluto's kiss? I wouldn't trust him to tie his own shoes!" Orca nodded while watching a blademaster go by "Lios has been keeping many secrets lately. Besides the newsletter about the worlds version upgrade coming soon, he's been very tight-lipped." Balmung sighed/sobbed "And lady Aura hasn't contacted me about kestrel activities even though I hear about players getting attacked again." Blackrose randomly opened a mini screen in front of her and searched the BBS for news. "Oh look, someone from kestrel's challenging Kite."
Balmung and Orca quickly looked over her shoulder and found the article Blackrose spoke of.
Article: I challenge you!
Red twin blade! I challenge you to a PvP battle! It is obvious that you don't respect kestrels power! The area words will be: Delta hidden forbidden holyground!
You better come!
Sender: Ground
"Who's Ground?" Orca asked aloud as he finished reading the article. Blackrose looked at him surprised "Are you kidding? He's the one of the players from Fragment and second in command of kestrel!" Orca and Balmung shared a look of confusion. Blackrose rolled her eyes "A bad guy." "I'M OFF!" Balmung shouted dashing off to the chaos gate. "Your thumb was covering the date and time…." Orca said watching Balmung run up the steps and trip. Blackrose cackled madly "I know." A grin slowly formed on Orca's mouth "He's going to be waiting there all day."
"I know."

….So what exactly are we searching for?
"One of the keys of twilight." Corbenik replied stumbling on his crutches, he turned and glared at Macha "Can I have my kidney back?" Macha looked as if she were contemplating giving it back but then flicked her violet hair in his face and smiled sweetly "Maaaaaaaybe." Corbenik pouted and looked away. Kite turned to Skeith and tilted his head.
I thought there was only one key of twilight?
"That's only because the player who started that rumor couldn't find the others." Innis nodded "It was a player who used his key to obtain the password to unlock the black box. He then learned of six other keys that when brought together would…"
Yes?
"Before the player could learn where the other keys were hidden. His best friend set off a virus that corrupted the file on the keys along with most of the internet itself and caused a major shut down." Skeith chimed in.
…The first Pluto's kiss.
"Correct!" Innis cheered "You really did your homework when you first joined the world!" "About that…." Skeith began "When we fought, did you really have to stab my face multiple times?" Kite's PC glared at Skeith.
Well what else was I supposed to do! Your HP wouldn't go down!
Skeith tsk'ed and looked away blushing in embarrassment. "I was harder to beat!" Innis said. She was proud of this fact, and wouldn't let any of her sibling's forget it. "Oh yes." Tarvos said rolling his eyes "Being forced to change elements every time you were struck. REAL hard to beat." Innis stuck her tongue out "At least I didn't have a giant stake impaled in a snake-like body!" Macha grinned and pointed at Innis "Weren't you a giant slab of brick? You even had piece's coming off your body!" "Oh yeah? Well…you were a cat!"
Macha struck a pose "A SEXY cat!"
"Bitch!"
"Flat chest!"
Kite watched the fighting women with interest.
Looking at them now. No one would think they were demonic data sentinels that killed anyone that saw them.
Skeith, Tarvos, Corbenik, and Fidchell all nodded in agreement.
"Slut!"
"Shorty!"
"You were going out with a piece of data!"
"At least I was going out with someone! You haven't even kissed a guy yet!"
"And the round goes to Macha. Now BREAK IT UP!" Magus tore the women away from each other.
"Shut up meteor on a leafy stick!" They shouted in unison.
