SAO: Guardian Guild Chronicles

Chapter 3: Christmas Conundrums!

December 21st 2022 17:00 PM AST Aincrad Floor Four City of Lobria Bright Shine Tavern

Danny/Phantom's POV

It's been a few weeks since the whole creation of the term Beater and the discovery of me been the world renown hero Phantom. Several others events had occurred during this span of time such as the first official town opening on Floor Two, the defeating of the floor boss Two and Three and unfortunately people are still quite sore about The Guardians and the Black Swordsman, Kirito. Right now, I was waiting in the local tavern on my own, hidden in a corner for my contact to arrive, I wonder how Chaos is doing right now, I start rubbing my hand to get rid of an itch causing me to catch my wedding ring. I smile, thinking back to when Chaos proposed the idea back on the Third Floor after getting out selves into a sticky situation involving a horde of enemies called Terror Trikes, ugly things might I add and because Chaos was scared of losing me again, not that she would admit it, suggested that we should live life to the fullest here while we can and that should include marriage. When Chaos suggested it, I will admit that I fainted which Techwiz found highly amusing, Chaos on the other hand not so much but when I managed to wake up she did place a good argument about how we could die at any moment and that we knew each other so well since we grew up together, so I accepted her proposal. Currently Techwiz and my adoring wife Chaos are out gathering Cor by various green player means for my plan. My train of thought was interrupted by the approach of a figure who was hooded and sat down right in front of me. "Well, well who thought my ickle Ghost Boy, would be The actual Ghost Boy of Amity Park" I groan and roll my eyes "Very funny Argo, now what do you want?". Argo was of a pale complexion with red paint on her face as well as having dark brown hair with brown eyes and she was wearing a brown cloak. Argo just simply smirks in my direction "What I want isn't important right now, it's what you want that is important, well as long as it's information at least". Dealing with Argo was a pain sometimes because she could get under the skin of any player "Argo, I need information on the guild quest" this causes Argo's ears to perk up, a sign I had caught her interest. "Ok now, you have my attention but if I didn't know any better I would think that ickle Phantom is trying to license the name, he and his friends were given by the other players" this is why I hate dealing with her sometimes but I'm the only one out of my family that can actually deal with Argo without losing it, Techwiz walks away from her and Chaos… oh boy don't get me started on my wife.

I look Argo directly in the eyes with a serious look and for the first time I cause Argo to flinch "Argo what do you know?" Argo looks at me nervously "First of all, when you stare like that did you know you do your ghost eyes and second of all, that sort of information costs quite a bit." I was shocked that I had accidently let loose some of my power, looks like I need to start training again, Damn I was hoping I didn't need to practise with in the game and double damn I knew this was going to back fire. I sigh before looking at Argo "Ok Argo, what is the information going to cost?" Argo just smiles at me "Nothing to costly, just to be part of your guild." I feel my jaw drop when she said this "What I thought, you were like Kirito, a solo player, you didn't do guilds or parties, so what's changed?" Argo just looks back at me nervously "Look we all know, right now that Beta's or Beaters as some of us are called aren't in the best light, especially info brokers like me and the only ones that aren't getting bad mouthed are The Guardians as you were dubbed, so I thought that if I joined The Guardians it might improve my Info broking and also benefit the guild as well." I look at Argo with a sad smile "Argo, not to spoil your moment but The Guardians aren't doing very well with other players right now either, not since they found out about me cheating death/been a ghost powered hero". Argo shook her head in response "That is where you are wrong Phantom, even with players like Kibaou bad mouthing you the rest of the player population are still seeing you as heroes, especially since everyone now knows who you really are and that you came back from death to protect them from a similar fate." I felt shocked that people still trusted us even though a majority of the population of trapped players hated Beta's, I mulled over the offer before looking at Argo again "Ok, Argo you can join The Guardians". Then Argo did something I never expected from her she hugged me "Thank you, I won't let you down and by the way, the Quest you asked about was completed recently by a player called Heathcliff, meaning guilds can now be formed". Argo then let go of me and I smiled in her direction due to the fact that I was pleased that the quest I was looking for had been completed meaning that it would make the next part of my mission easier to do. I then make Argo jump when I slam my fist into the table causing my drink to spill over "Come on then let's go meet up with the others then", Argo nods at me nervously.

December 21st 2022 17:10 PM AST Aincrad Floor Four City of Lobria Market

Sam/Chaos's POV

As I walk into the market to sell the various items that we had collected so far to local vendors, I could help but think how my husband was dealing with Argo, she always managed to annoy us. I laugh to myself quietly, Husband it was weird to think of Phantom as that but at the same time it seemed to fit, if anyone could get info out of Argo it was him, my train of though was interrupted by a familiar voice "Buy Cheap, Sell Cheap, get it here", I walk over to the general direction that the voice came from, to find Agil on one of the rentable market stalls. I walk over to the stall "Hey Agil", this been said causes him to fall of his stand from shock before he pulls himself up and then smiles in my direction "Hello Chaos" he then pauses and gives me a good look over, which makes me feel quite self-conscious "Or should I say Mrs Phantom, now." This causes me to blush a heavy shade of red "Agil, please I'm here on business", this causes a smirk on Agil's face "Well if you are looking for business, I'm your man, so what will it be?" I smile at Agil's enthusiasm, before opening up my menu and placing various items that we decided that we didn't need any more on his stall, causing his jaw to drop at all the items and making me laugh. I then calmed myself down before resuming "You see we decided that we had no need for these items, so how much would you offer for all of them" Agil starts to use his appraiser skill to analyse all the items "Well in total I can offer you six thousand Cor for all this" I look at Agil for a while thinking the offer over before nodding "Their all yours." Agil then hands over the Cor which I accept before turning around and walking away to another store nearby to by some food for tonight, just before I leave the Lobria Market the last thing I hear is "Buy Cheap, Sell Cheap, Items Supplied by The Guardians" causing a soft smile to appear on my face.

December 21st 2022 17:30 PM AST Aincrad Floor Four City of Lobria The Guardians Hut

I enter the hut we had purchased for living in, until we could find a more suitable place of operations but for now it was agreeable due to the fact it offered several beds, a small kitchen and a bathroom mostly made out of cheap materials. Eventually I noticed I was greeted with a familiar sight Techwiz working away on his bed trying to upgrade his Crafting/Blacksmith skills, he stops when he sees me "Hey Mrs Phantom, how did it go?" The first thing I do is punch him for the Mrs Phantom comment before walking into the kitchen and starting to prepare the meal for tonight "It went fine Tech, in fact it went better then fine because I met Agile at a rentable store in the market and he offered a good amount of Cor for all of our excess items." Techwiz shoots up and walks over to me "How much did he offer?" I smile at my friend's enthusiasm "Six thousand", I start to laugh when I see his jaw drop but before he could continue the front door opens. I move into the bed room/living room to see my husband enter with to my surprise Argo of all people, I walk up to Phantom and greet him home with quick kiss to the cheek, earning a blush from him, a laugh from Techwiz and a snicker from Argo. I then turn to Argo "Argo, what a surprise, I though you liked to not be seen with other players unless you were giving information?" Argo blushes at my comment "Well you see Chaos, in exchange for the information Phantom wanted", I scowl in Phantom's direction causing him to pale and shake his head in a no motion vigorously, Argo not noticing the silent conversation continues what she was say "He had to allow me to join the Guardians when they officially become a guild." In those last few seconds all I saw was red and then heard a large scream as well as a burst of laughter.

December 21st 2022 17:50 PM AST Aincrad Floor Four City of Lobria The Guardians Hut

Danny/Phantom's POV

After twenty minutes of me rubbing my head trying to sooth the pain from Chaos's blow, several apologies and an explanation over dinner to Chaos, we were all finally on the same page, Thank goodness. We all sat around the table in the kitchen discussing our plans to form the guild that would be known by the name players gave us, The Guardians, Techwiz was the first to speak up "So now we have the name and know who the current members are, who is going to be the guild master and what are the other positions within the guild". I look down at the table surface while thinking before looking up to see the other stare at me with knowing looks, I suddenly realise why "Ooo….oh no, I'm not been the guild master, I'm not qualified to lead anyone." Argo takes the chance to find a way into the conversation "Oh really, you not qualified don't make me laugh, you're a hero, you've led various players in this game out of various dangerous predicaments and you are a natural leader, you are the Guild Master." I sigh in defeat "All right but what about you lot, what are your jobs then?" Chaos just smiles at me "That question is an obvious one, my love I'm the second in command and medic, Techwiz is the Blacksmith/Merchant as well as one of our strategist and Argo is our Scout/Info Broker and second strategist". I give Chaos a hug at her planning, causing her to blush "Well done, Chaos, next all we need is a symbol for out guild, all guilds need a symbol". We all look around thoughtfully trying to think of a symbol which could represent our guild perfectly, Argo was the one with the solution "Right I think I got the perfect symbol" causing our attention to turn to her "As you said we need a symbol that represents what we stand for, what we stand for is hope correct", this got her a nod from the rest of us, so she continued "The symbol that brings hope the most to the players trapped in SAO and the people of the outside world is that of our own guild master". When everyone looks at me I feel like I was going to burn like an ant under a magnifying glass before I start panicking "No….N….O spells no, we are not using my symbol, people will think that I am self-centred."

Argo just smiles at me along with the other members of my family "No they won't, soon people will see this symbol and know help as well as hope are here and we are here to stay, so Guild Master are we going to do it or what?" I let out a big sigh before opening up my menu and select create guild, after that I fill in the guild details and let Chaos draw the symbol into the system, since she created the original symbol. The system then checks if anyone was using that name or any of the details yet before sending an invite to join the guild to all the indicated players that were indicated in the guild set up. The others then accepted the invites to The Guardians, causing the guilds symbol to appear above their health bar and the formation of The Guardians was complete. Chaos then stands up "Right Techwiz, Argo please hand over two pieces of your armour?" causing the two to look at her in confusion "Why?" Chaos just rolls her eyes "Just trust me" Techwiz and Argo quickly removed two pieces of their armour before Chaos ripped them off their bodies, then Chaos left the room. Chaos returns twenty minutes later with armour placing it on the table in front of us, but out of the corner of my eye I noticed something different about Chaos's own armour, there above her heart on the left was the guilds symbol and the same symbol was on the side of her shoulders as well. I came to the conclusion that Chaos had done the same to the others armour as well, I look down at the table to see Argo's cloak on the front left and on her right vambrace had the guild symbol on them, while Techwiz's shoulder guards had the guild symbol on the front and sides. Chaos received thanks from Argo and Techwiz and a long kiss from me causing me to notice she had engraved the symbol on our rings as well.

December 23rd 2022 17:50 PM AST Aincrad Floor Four Outskirts of the City of Lobria

No One's POV

The Guardians were currently training out in a field, not too far from capital of floor 4, Techwiz and Argo were sparing, while Phantom was meditating on a tree stump trying to get control over his powers again since in SAO his control had seemed to have vanished and Chaos was nearby trying to perfect a new skill for Dusk's Edge.

Tucker/Techwiz's POV

I've got to admit even though Argo doesn't see much combat any more due to her position as a Info Broker, she is still fairly strong as a player, in other words I was getting my butt handed to me as usually when I fight a friend. The problem with my fighting style was that it involved me moving quite slowly due to the weight of Slam Smasher, so I couldn't block speed based attacks like Argo's Claws, which is her speciality, but what Slam Smasher can't make up in speed it makes up in power and that can be quite a problem for my opponent if I land a hit on them. I barley dodge one of Argo's quick claw strikes before seeing my opening and hitting Argo across the chest with Slam Smasher causing her to go flying across the field and officially ending the duel. I glance at Argo before realising what had happened "HA, I WON FOR ONCE I ACTUALLY WON!" I notice Argo get up of the ground from the corner of my eye before clapping in my direction "Well, done Techwiz, what's the score now?… Ah yes Twenty Five to One." Once this is said I feel myself face fault into the ground earning a chuckle from both Argo and Chaos's direction but not Phantom's. I turn around to see Phantom just sat on the same tree stump in a trance causing me and Chaos to frown, Argo looks at Phantom in concern "Is Phantom, all right?" I pause unsure about how to answer that question, Argo then sighs in my direction "So let me guess, we don't know….. Great!" Chaos then approaches Phantom and snaps her fingers in front of his face only to get no reaction from him. We then attempted several different things to try and snap Phantom out of his meditated state including Chaos kissing him but nothing seemed to work, until we heard a scream.

We all jumped from hearing the scream, except Phantom who seemed to snap out of his trance causing us all to jump again from him jumping up from the tree stump and summersaulting in mid-air, landing in between me and Chaos. Argo looked at Phantom with a dropped jaw, while I and Chaos started at him in concern. Phantom looks in the direction of the scream "That scream came from two players, one male and one female, the scream originated from southeast of here, they need help" He starts to walk in the direction of the screams before looking over his shoulder at the rest of us "Are guys coming or what?" I then notice Chaos shake her head before smirking at Phantom "I wouldn't be much of a wife or a team mate if I didn't keep you out of trouble or help you when you needed it" I then look at Chaos and Phantom before bursting out in laughter and slapping my hand on Phantom's shoulder. "Bro, we been through thick and thin together, our job has been and will always will be heroes and because of that we became closer than before, closer than friends, we became a family and now we have a chance to show this world that nothing will change that, so let's go and do our job, dude." Argo just remain silent through the entire exchange before walking up to Phantom "Well what are we waiting for Guild Master, the innocent ickle players to get killed by Aincrad know what is out there." Phantom smirks in the direction of all his guild mates "Thanks, guys now let's show Aincrad what The Guardians are made off".

December 23rd 2022 18:20 PM AST Aincrad Floor Four Lobrian Lake

No One's POV

The Guardians were perched on cliff face that gave them a view of the Lobrian Lake, trying to pin point the two players that had screamed, Phantom was at the front of the group trying to use his enhanced sight to locate the two players, while Chaos was by his side trying to find a way down the cliff. Argo and Techwiz were behind Phantom and Chaos checking the guild's supplies to make sure they had enough potions and crystals for this mission, Phantom then narrows his eyes "Guys, I found the players and by the looks of it, it's not good", Chaos looks at Phantom in concern "How bad", Phantom sighs "By looks of it an horde of Krustatian Knights has surrounded those two players…. Hold one of those players is that kid from the Tolbana Tavern what was his name…. Might and the other player, Damn I can't get a good look at them." Chaos tenses at the mention of two children been out on their own this far without an older player to support them, while Argo narrows her eyes and Techwiz clenches his jaw shut. Phantom turns around to face his team mates before pulling The Requiem of the Lost Soul out its sheath and started to use it to draw the battle plan on the floor.

Might's POV

Personally when I teamed up with this player to deliver an important message to all the players in the capital of this floor, I thought it was going to be easy, well now not so much turns out the route we were using has recently been taken over by hordes of monsters. This led to me and my temporary partner been ambushed by these freaks, severally outnumber I thought to myself what would Phantom do…. I know, he would fight till the end, never giving up, so that's what I will do. As I block a Krustatian Long Sword with my shield using a Shield Smash Shield Skill before then using a Horizontal Slice Sword Skill to take out a couple of the monsters in front of me before I get caught by a hammer sending me flying across the battle field "Damn!" My partner runs up to me blocking an incoming strike with her Death Dagger, "Leave him, alone" but before she could counter she gets hit by a Klaw Klubber. I see my life flash before my eyes, when I see a blade heading straight for my heart, I close my eyes in preparation only to hear a clang and a "No way, it can't be him" from my partner. Causing me to open my eyes and see Phantom speeding by using his katana to cut down several of the monsters "Guardians defend these kids" followed by Chaos and Techwiz who were pushing back the Krustatians using their strongest attacks all of them wearing Phantom's Symbol like a badge of honour. Suddenly I shaken by a hand of cloaked female who also wore Phantom's Symbol "Come on, Might get up" causing me to look at her in shock, before she turns around to my partner "You too ki… That's not possible, who are you?" I see that the cloaked female is looking at my partner with a look of anger before shaking her head "It doesn't matter, just follow me."

I look in the direction of Phantom and the rest of his team "But what about them?", the female just sighs "Don't worry about them, the Guild Master has a plan", I look back in the direction of Phantom before getting up and running to a breach in the enemies defence. But before we could escape the ambush, all of us started to be boxed in by more hordes of monsters including Phantom's assault group. Eventually we were all back to back and losing health fast, this was it, we are all going to die, Phantom wasn't giving up though "Guys", I see the rest of Phantom's team nod in his direction, I look around in panic, then I hear it, the Phrase, I thought I would never hear "I'M GOING GHOST!" A Bright light engulfs my field of vision and standing there in front of me was Phantom in his ghost form, the hero of earth, my hero, I hear my partner from behind me "It is him, I thought I was imagining it, but I'm not, he's here, my…", I didn't here the rest of my partners rant because of the sudden screaming from the monster due to Phantom speeding by using a Sword Skills for his Katana to slice them to pieces.

Danny/Phantom's POV

Its official I suck at planning, I know this now due to the fact that we are getting boxed in by all the monsters, I have only one choice right now, time for the backup plan. I look around at the rest of my team "Guys" they all nod in my direction indicating they understand what I am about to do, I take a deep breath searching for the power inside of me, as I trigger the transformation "I'M GOING GHOST!", I sense a power similar yet different to my own, one I had not sensed for a while. Although my train of thought was interrupted when I see the hordes of monsters attempt to finish us off once and for all, my response was immediate, I block several attacks with the horizontal katana slice sword skill before responding with a single vertical slice katana sword skill defeating all the monsters in front of me. I kept this up until the ground shook causing us all to fall onto the ground and all the enemies around us to shatter into data, I then look up to see a massive monster, most likely the field boss of floor four. The monster had five health bars and was looked like a massive lobster but the only difference was that it had six arms armed to the teeth with cleaver like claws, Next to the health bar was a name, and the name stated King Lobo of The Krustatians. I take one more look before shouting over my shoulder "RUN, GET THE PLAYERS AND YOUR SELVES OUT OF HERE I WILL HANDLE THIS!" I could hear Chaos protest in the background as she was dragged by Techwiz and the others to get out of the boss's line of site. I look at Lobo "COME AND GET ME YOU OVER GROWN SEA SLUG!"The boss then responds by dropping four of its arms, in an attempt to crush me for me only to roll out of the way and slash its arm several times in an attempt to harm it, only causing its health to drop by a fragment.

I dodge another attack from Lobo, I could have sworn, I heard Might go wow at one point from my constant dodging, I start to get tired from the constant dodging, only to face palm myself when I remember I can fly in my ghost form. I then leap into the air, only to realise that after a good ten seconds that I was falling and a lot of error messages were appearing in front of my eyes. I hear a scream from the other player we attempted to rescue along with Chaos which snaps me out of my shock and I notice the creature's weak point on its head. You see some bosses in SAO are incredibly strong but they have one major downfall, they have a weak spot on them but they are often heavily guarded by the monster or their minions. I spin around in the air before using my Ecto-energy to launch myself toward Lobo's weak point on his head "AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!" As I fall towards the weak point with my Katana nose diving for the spot, I hear more screams from Chaos and the other player but I can't hear what they are saying due to the wind. When I collide with the ground I look up to see a giant hole in King Lobo's head and see him disintegrate into data before I feel a sharp pain in my core causing me to collapse. I notice that my health bar is nearly depleted before I feel my eyes slowly close and I see two shadowed figures run up to me, I feel the first one wrap their arms around me in a hug and at first I assume it's Chaos but then my assumption is changed when I hear the shadow scream "DAD!"

December 24th 2022 21:40 PM AST Aincrad Floor Four The Guardians Hut

I feel myself waking up from my healing state which Techwiz calls my Still Death State meaning that my body stops responding to certain factors but my heart is still beating but only at 10 heart beats per second. I hear someone approach by the sound of it is Chaos, I feel her stand next to me before feeling my forehead obviously checking my condition since she out of all of the Guardians is familiar with a Halfa's Anatomy. I then open my eyes to see Chaos's beautiful amethyst eye looking at my own, this causes her to blush before slapping me and then realising that I am awake "PHANTOM!" and starts to hug me to death. I soon feel myself not been able to breath "Ch….Chaos, cc…a..can't breathe", Chaos lets go of me in shock with a massive blush on her face "I'm so sorry", I laugh in her direction before getting me a glare from Chaos "Hey don't glare, I didn't mean that nastily, I only laughed because you a goth showed how much you cared." This earns me another blush from Chaos, I then remember one of the blurs while I was passing out call me Dad, I turn to ask Chaos who said that but before I could ask a young girl of the age of twelve barges into hut. When I saw the young girl I immediately knew who it was and I couldn't believe it, it was Danielle, my clone. She hadn't change that much since I had seen her fly off dramatically, her eyes were still the same icy blue but they had a few specks of Amethyst purple in them, her hair was still black but she had grown in out making I reach just past her shoulders. Her outfit was black fitting leather that had a few green streaks of purple and neon green in it and a few pieces of steel armour on her elbows and knees. The only major difference in Dani's appearance was that her face had matured and looked more like a combination of mine and Chaos's faces.

Dani obviously hadn't noticed that I was awake yet as she approached Chaos, although she did look very concerned "Mum, is Dad awake yet?" I look at Chaos in shock before mouthing Mum and Dad to myself. Chaos just looks at Dani with a motherly look…. Wait what?, Chaos has never been motherly, she wouldn't even baby sit her cousins, my train of thought was interrupted again by Chaos's response "Why don't you see for yourself, honey." I then notice Dani twirl as I am sitting up in my bed, she freezes when she sees me before charging at me and pulling me in a hug "DAD!" I freeze there and then when she said that "Dani, what do you mean by Dad?" Dani let's go of me in shock and then starts to look around frantically until Chaos lays a hand gently on her shoulder causing Dani's shoulder to drop. Dani turns around to see Chaos's caring face "Go on tell him, what you told me" Dani sighs before turning around to face me again "What I mean by Dad is that you are my genetic father", I feel myself freeze up at this, although Dani doesn't seem to notice "and Sa…..I mean Chaos is my genetic mother." Dani then sits down in a nearby chair, while Chaos leaves the room "You see a month before SAO was launched I was camping outside on the coast of Japan due to the fact I was visiting a friend and while I was fishing I noticed that my face had started to mature, this caused me to panic." Dani actually started to laugh at that "You see at first I thought I was starting to destabilise again but then I realised that this was natural, but I didn't look like you as much, which I begin to question but I couldn't get any answers at the time, due to the fact that DALV Industries didn't have any facilities in Japan."

Dani then sighs "I started to get more concerned, the more my faced changed, then I heard that DALV had just opened its first international facility in Japan, so I did what any good Phantom would do, I broke in to investigate, avoiding all of the ghost proof security. By the time I had reached the main server most of the security was getting ready for the morning patrols, I managed to bypass my way around the main server, until I found Plasmius's personal files which I had all access pass, access the files." I then notice Dani had started to cry not because she was upset but because she was happy "When I found the Project PS, Perfect Son by the way", this causes me and Dani to shudder. Before Dani resumes still crying tears of happiness "The files stated that I wasn't a clone, my genetic sample had actually been another attempt at making Vlad's perfect son by combining you DNA with one of Sam's Eggs, don't ask me how he got it, cause the files don't specify and for the first time I felt like I had a family, I family I hoped would accept me for who I am, a father and mother who would love me." I attempt to make sense of what I am feeling about this "And before you ask, why didn't I come to you immediately and how did I end up in SAO, I can also answer that." Dani laughs sadly "I escaped the Japanese facility before making my way here, only to get intercepted by Skulker who Vlad had sent after me to eliminate his mistake", I let out a soft growl at this but before I could say anything Dani had resumed "Skulker managed to severally injure me, causing me to crash into my friend's house, lucky I reverted back into my human half before she could see me, after that she healed me back to health but wouldn't allow me to leave until I was fully recovered, She tried her best to keep me company and suggested that we play her new game SAO together, since I had mentioned you played Doom VR, so well that's that I suppose." I look at Dani in concern, I can see the fear of rejection in her eyes, I sigh before opening up my arms to her in a loving way "Dani, Come here", Dani gets up and goes into the hug looking slightly nervous but she breaks into tears when I gently whisper into her ear "I love you, my little girl, my Daughter". I then feel arms weave their way around both me and Dani, I then notice Chaos joining the hug as well, I then make a promise to them "I promise, I will get us out of here and we will be a proper family in both this world and the real world."

December 24th 2022 21:40 PM AST Aincrad Floor Four Outside The Guardians Hut

Argo's POV

As we waited for the Guild Master's Family to be successfully reunited and have their happy moment inside our current base of operations. I hear Might still trying to understand the current situations while he is talking to Techwiz "So you are tell me that one of Phantom's Archenemies attempted to clone Phantom in an attempt to make himself a perfect son and end the result was Spook, who eventually rebelled against Plasmius after discovering who he actually was, only later to return to Phantom after discovering that she was breaking down due to having an unstable DNA code.", I feel my own irritation grow the more I'm near the kid but before I could act, I hear Techwiz sigh "Yes, although technically she isn't his clone but actually his daughter after an accident happened with the sample DNA making both Chaos and Phantom her parents." I had enough of this, so I intervene "So that's her story kid, alright please don't go bothering the Guild Master or his family with this please….. wait a minute you called her Spook why?"Might just looks at me shocked "What she didn't tell you, her username is Spook, when we were traveling together I asked her about it, she did mention something about it been in honour of someone that was very important to her." I feel a smile appear on my face before I respond "So Phantom, even has a place in his ickle Daughter's Heart, it seems he has a way with the masses" This gets a laugh out of Techwiz, I then notice Might shuffling nervously, I narrow my eyes in his direction as does Techwiz "Kid are you all right?" This causes Might to stiffen in shock "Y…yes, why?", I could have laughed at the kids hasty attempt at covering his emotions "Kid you can't lie to Argo the Rat, so why were you so nervous", this earns a sigh from him "Alright fine I will tell you" This earns me a high five from Techwiz which I don't think Might noticed as he continued "I was wondering if I could…. You know…. Maybe…. Possibly join the Guardians?" I feel my jaw drop and I'm sure Techwiz's had as well, this kid wanted to be part of our guild, the guild that currently was known for helping players survive various near death experiences, I recover myself before the kid notices "Listen Might, we aren't the ones to ask, if anything, if this question was asked in a normal situation, it would be taken up, by either The Guild Master or his Second in Command and currently they both busy." Might just sighs "I know, it's just that I want to help you guys out after everything you and Phantom has done for everyone, I think that this is the best way to repay you." I then smile and nod in Might's direction "We will take that into consideration, Kid but for now just be patient" Might smiles back at me but before he could say anything Spook sticks her head out of the door "hey are you guys coming in or what?", this gets a laugh out of Techwiz "Like Father like Daughter", this gets a annoyed glare out of Spook "Shut up Unc" before we all enter our home.
