DotHack:Reality Part 3
By: TsukasaTheFominian
'This is really weird, I've always been able to warp anywhere I wanted too,' thought Tsukasa. 'Why can't I warp now?'
Tsukasa was really worried, since there had to be some great power behind this, since he was not able to warp away, and he had never encountered such a power.
"Hey," says Mimiru. "Do you think that someone could have set up a Barrier? I've herd of the Crimson Knights doing stuff like that when they are trying to catch someone."
A cloaked man steps from behind a boulder and says in an excited voice, "That's what happened."
Tsukasa raises his wand in defense while Mimiru brings up her sword and says "Th...that's the guy who told me about this field!"
"Who are you?" Tsukasa asks angrily.
The man then rips off his cloak to reveal a young, green-haired Twin Blade. "You can call me Sora," says the man.
"Sora! The legendary thief?!" Tsukasa is really surprised and very afraid. Sora was said to be a powerful Twin Blade who nobody could match in speed and skill. He was invited to join the Knights, and he accepted the offer, but during the inauguration he betrayed the knights and stole Lady Suberu's jeweled necklace. He escaped the Knight's wrath and disappeared into some field, where he just attacks parties and steals any rare item that they have. "What do you want from us? We don't have any rare items that you can steal."
"No, not right now, but you will." Sora says in a menacing voice.
"What do you mean?" Demands Mimiru with an angry fire in her eyes. "Why did you tell me about this place, and then set up a Barrier to trap us in a high leveled field?"
"Because I want to see how strong you are and I didn't want to go through that dungeon all by my self." Sora says like a little child.
"So you wanted to make a party then?" Asks Tsukasa.
"No, I want you to go in there and get the Got Statue item for me."
"WHAT!" says an enraged Mimiru. "If you can't get through that dungeon, what makes you think we can without some help?"
"Oh I can," Sora says. "I just don't want to go though all that trouble. You can either get me the item, or be stuck hear in a field full of powerful monsters without any help from anyone. Oh, and don't think you can just go to another dungeon, there isn't another one for miles and miles. And the power I used on you negates your warping ability, so it won't work anyways. And all the portals around here have just as powerful monsters as the Witch you just faced. Well I'll see you when you get the item." Sora then jumps up to the top of a boulder and disappears.
"Well, I guess we don't have that much a choice, do we?" Mimiru asks in a defeated kind of way.
"I guess not." Tsukasa isn't really happy about this. Their lives are in danger, but he can't use his special powers to help, since he doesn't want anyone to know. "We'd better save as much power for the dungeon as we can." Tsukasa pulls out a flute and plays it. There is a bright flash near by and suddenly a Grunty is standing near them.
"I didn't know you had a Grunty Flute. That'll make this a lot easier." Mimiru looks down for a sec and says, "Hey, what's this?" There is a small piece of paper on the ground. Mimiru picks it up and reads what it says, she then looks disgusted and throws the paper on the ground. "It's that freaks Member's Address."
For some reason, people can send short, telepathic messages to others if they know a special code that the person uses. That is what a Member's Address is, the code that enables the messaging ability. Tsukasa bends down to pick up the paper and pockets it. "He probably wants us to message him when we find get the item. I'll keep it if you don't want it."
"Lets just get this over with." They both get on the Grunty and head toward the dungeon. One special ability of Grunties is that they don't activate Magic Portals. That made it a quick and easy trip to the dungeon for Tsukasa and Mimiru, but once they got there they had to leave the Grunty behind. After they got into the dungeon, Mimiru used a Fairy's Orb to reveal everything in the dungeon. They chose a root through the dungeon that has the least amount of monsters in it, and take off as fast as they can to get the dungeon adventure over with. They did OK the first and second levels of the dungeon, Tsukasa was able to hit the monsters with his magic enough to defeat the monsters, but after that things got tricky.
They found that the only way to get to the Got Statue was to go through 6 monster battles, and during the first battle they found that the monsters on this level had Magic Immunity. Mimiru was able to beat the first monster with a few special abilities, but afterwards she was exhausted.
"I don't think I'll be able to do something like that again." Mimiru says breathlessly.
"Well, we have to keep moving," reasons Tsukasa. "Or else well be trapped here forever, and not even I want that." Tsukasa quickly heals Mimiru and drags her off to the next room. Mimiru follows quickly because she knows its true and doesn't want to be trapped either. After they enter, they find the portal is far enough away to not activate it right away. So they sit down to rest for a bit.
"I'm really sorry for dragging you into this Tsukasa." Mimiru says with tears start to well up in her eyes. "I didn't want you to get hurt or anything, I just wanted to spend some time with you. I never thought that this place could be such a death trap for anyone who entered." After that, Mimiru bursts into tears and hugs her legs into her.
Tsukasa is really afraid, part for himself and part for Mimiru. He knows that Mimiru wouldn't want to hurt him, and he is really afraid for Mimiru as well. "It'll be OK Mimiru, I won't be hurt so easily and I'll really help you to beat the next monster."
"I think I'm ready to beat the next one Tsukasa, lets go." Mimiru then steps up to the gate and a huge stone-like monster appears. It Tsukasa tries to use a magic attack on it, but this one has Magic Immunity as well. Mimiru then charges at the monster, while Tsukasa casts different spells on Mimiru to increase her strength, defense, and speed. Mimiru tries to attack the monster, but it has a really high defense and is super fast despite its appearance. It knocks Mimiru on the ground with one hit and Mimiru can't move. Tsukasa runs over to heal Mimiru, but before he can, the monster is there trying to attack him. Tsukasa then puts up a barrier around him and Mimiru, but the monster continually pounds on the barrier.
'I think I'm going to have to summon it' Tsukasa thinks. He is about to summon his Guardian, when he hears someone yell at the monster and two people jump out to attack the monster. One is a Twin Blade wearing red, and the other is a Heavy Blade that dressed like Mimiru, but has pink hair. While they are keeping the monster busy, Tsukasa heals Mimiru and wakes her.
"What's going on here?" Mimiru asks. She then looks over at the fighting and sees who it is. "BlackRose? What are you doing here?"
"I herd you talking to that clocked man, and thought it would be fun to come here to have some fun, but I didn't know this was high level area. When we found out, we went back to town, but when we heard that you went here but didn't come back, we got worried and came back for you."
"Can we talk later?" Says the Twin Blade. "We've still got a monster to beat"
"Right Kite," BlackRose says as she joins him in an attacking stance.
"I'll join in too." Mimiru states as she walks up next to them.
"You guys focus on the attack." Tsukasa says. "I'll distract it."
Mimiru, BlackRose, and Kite all rush up to attack while Tsukasa throughs a magic attack at the monster. It doesn't do any damage, but it does blind the monster, and distract it for the three rushing for the attack. With the monster distracted and two more people attacking, they are able to beat the monster easily.
After the monster is defeated, Kite and BlackRose asks Tsukasa and Mimiru why they are in the dungeon. Knowing that they wouldn't be able to explain themselves with a lie, Mimiru and Tsukasa both agree to tell them what had happened. After they are told Kite and BlackRose both are stunned.
"Wow, I didn't know Sora had that type of ability," says amazed Kite. "Well, we could go back to town and get some help for you."
Tsukasa shakes his head and simply says, "Sora would know and would probably come after us after you left. He probably knows that you two are here in this dungeon and might even know that you're helping us. I think the best thing to do is to just do what he says and not to argue." The three others look at him like he's insane, so Tsukasa quickly says, "Now that we have a party of four, it'll be easy to get to the Got Statue, and we probably couldn't beat Sora anyways." Tsukasa was sure that his Guardian would be able to beat Sora, but he didn't want the others to know about it.
"I think your right Tsukasa," BlackRose says. "We can't beat him, and we won't be able to stop him if he attacks us. Lets just get the treasure and get out of here."
"Fine with me," Mimiru says unenthusiastically.
"OK," Kite says defeated. "Lets just get this over with."
The four of them enter the next room after deciding to use the same technique to defeat the rest of the monsters. All the monsters afterwords fall with ease and they quickly reach the Got Statue. When they get to the statue, Kite, Mimiru, and BlackRose all look toward Tsukasa and wait for him to open the chest. Tsukasa just looks back and simply says to Kite and BlackRose, "Well, what are you waiting for?"
"Hu?" Both BlackRose and Kite say together.
"Mimiru and I would have been dead if you two hadn't shown up. You deserve to open the chest."
BlackRose is the first to recover and says, "It doesn't matter who opens the chest. We're giving what ever's in there to Sora anyways. You open it Tsukasa."
"One of you should do it. You can brag about how you got the treasure from a high-leveled dungeon, and it was so rare, Sora just had to steal it."
Mimiru starts to get a little impatient and says, "Would one of you just open the stupid chest. I'm getting tired of waiting."
"OK OK. I'll open it and get the item." Kites says in an unamused tone of voice and walks up to the treasure chest. Kite slightly opens the chest and the chest bursts open in a flash of light. Mimiru and BlackRose both look away from the light and close their eyes, but both Kite and Tsukasa are able to see a strange book in the center of the blinding light. The light then gets even brighter and then suddenly winks out. When the party looks back too the chest, they find that the book has disappeared and is no where to be found. Tsukasa and Kite both tell the others about the book and they all search the small room, but there is nothing in the entire room.
"Oh no," says a Mimiru who has started to shake with fear with the loss of the treasure. "What will Sora do when he finds out that the book is gone?"
"I don't want to think about it," replies a terrified Kite.

A/N: The next updates wont be so quick since the first three stories were premade by me a few months ago. Reply if you want me to keep making more. I must also say that I am just winging this fic and have no definite end in mind. Please don't be angry and I'll try to make information follow through, but I may make mistakes and the final ending may not be that good. Please bear with me. I do promise to truly end this story, it just may not be that good.
