Progress had been made. Tonnes of progress. With the Progress that everyone had made, caused Harry to become a very happy guy. They had gone from floor barely in the teens upto sixty-six. This meant the big guilds were getting bigger and better weapons with loads of xp, which also meant that applicants for guilds could easily party with the heavier leveled characters who would weaken the monster and allowed them to gain drastic amounts of levels.

Harry was one such troll. He had taken on eight questers who had worked out who he was and appreciated the dark trolling he performed on the Clearing Group. The eight consisted of Hidan, Jashin98, Konan, Tobi, Shisui, Hanta, Kiba and Tenzo; these eight quickly annointed themselves as one of the eight remaining titles of the Ring Wraiths. Harry had gathered them after recieving one message to many about other players comments about them for not pulling weight in the clearing group and acting like carrion, so Harry ha summoned them to the 'Haunted Grove'.

'Haunted Grove' was really a Monster Dungeon that the Nazgul Guild had killed until it had stopped spawning monsters and they had turned it into their headquarters. Together all eight of them stood in semi-circle with ceremonial blades driven into the floor

Harry- Witch King
Hidan- Khamul
Tenzo- Marshal
Konan- The Betrayer
Tobi- Shadow Lord
Jashin-The Undying
Hanta- Dwimmerlaik
Shisui-Tainted
Kiba- Umbar Knight

"My brothers and sisters in arms. I know we are small, even smaller than the Fuurinkazan who are the smallest clearing guild. I know that some of you are shamed in the streets for working with a beater but take heart, we shall take this no more. Back on floor fifty five, it is home to some legendary dragons that devour crystals. Numerous attempts have been made to attack these dragons but none of have succeeded because shall I tell you why? They have no sense of team work." That got some nods from the group.

Harry didn't appreciate being interrupted during one of his speeches "Now get your kit, rope, climbing gear and warm clothes as we're going to get our legendary weaponry."

With that the eight Ringwraith's pulled out teleportation crystals and called as one "Teleport: Floor Fifty: Shinsei Retreat!" Argo jumped down off one of the tunnels leading into the grove and hugged her boyfriend.

"Impressive speech, my King." She said with a grin. Harry removed the helmet and kissed her "Glad you approved. Want to come on this quest?"

"I can't bear. Have some juicy info to sell. You know how it is." Argo replied softly removing the Morning Star and Sword, Harry had on his waist.

Harry nodded "Be careful Argo."

"Says the one who seems to lose his limbs at any opportunity." Tobi was the first one to return carrying his customised executioner blade. Hidan, Tenzo and Jashin arrived at the same time, formerly being a trio of brothers offering protective services to younger levelling players around floors forty to forty-nine. They were cousins to Tobi and jumped at the chance to work with him, when Harry offered them a place and said Tobi had joined him.

If, Harry was the formation breaker then these three armed with Battle Axes and in Hidan's case a scythe blade. Basically a big scythe typically seen with images of the Grim Reaper but with a massive blade built into the haft. (Type Manreaper into Google, like that but minus the electrics, add two extra blades like Hidan's scythe and then put an extra blade onto the haft something similar to Qrow Branwen's from RWBY again Google images and you'll have some idea). Tobi provided the finishing strike with his Skulltaker, a blunt name for an obvious job. No-one really complained.

"Overly compensating something Hidan?" Harry asked noticing the scythe staff thing. It looked like something Rooster Teeth asked him to help make. He had turned it down saying, he was new to the programming and didn't want to mess with anything that was already going.

"Fuck you Boss. Says the one with an actual Lord of the Rings ripoff." Hidan replied with a good natured grin.

"First of all it's not a ripoff yet. For two reasons. One it's not big enough and two, I'll get back to you on that...Wait you see how the haft connects to the chain." Harry said showing the branch for the lack of a better term that held the ridicuously large head on the chain. It's two handed..Once it becomes single handed then and only then a ripoff will it be."

Tobi twitched "Tobi, is a good boy. Must resist killing boss for Yoda impersonations."

"Fear leads into anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Suffering leads to the Dark Side, Cousin. You know that." Jashin said mockingly.

Tobi smirked 'It's one of them days. Best start quoting the codes." "Peace is a lie. There is only passion. Through passion, strength is gained. Through strength, power is gained. Through power, victory is assured. Through victory, the shackles are broken and the Force shall free me."

"No emotion, there is peace. No ignorance, there is knowledge. No passion, there is serenity. No chaos, there is harmony. No death, there is the Force." Quoted Tenzo.

However it was Argo that caught them off guard "No dark or light. Only the force. I will maintain the balance. No good without evil. However, evil must not flourish. Passion, yet peace. Serenity, yet emotion. Chaos, yet order. I wield the flame. I protect the balance. I hold the torch to light the way. I keep the flame, the soldier and guardian of balance. I am Gray Jedi...Knights of Old Republic History is very interesting." Argo stated blushing at her normally self contained nerdy side.

Harry's eyes glittered "When we get out of here definite movie night." Argo nodded and hugged him before reluctantly breaking and heading out of the headquarters.

"Boss, without the helmet...damn you're a good looker." Hanta exclaimed, Hanta was in essence a badass young lass. She was easily the smallest of the nine, but in some cases the deadilest. She had mastered three skills. One handed, two handed and duelling. The blade she wielded was katana and when she wielded it, she basically danced through everything. "I take dance classes mainly waltz, ballroom and tap. You would not believe how well they help with swordplay."

She had to remind the group of that nearly everytime they went monster clearing and she brought out the katana. The next pair to arrive were Shisui and Konan who were a mixture of the heavy berzerkers of Hidan, Jashin and Tenzo but had the elegence of Hanta, they tended to use shields and maces with the last one being Kiba, he was in essence their scout. The bastard could make himself nigh on invisible and perfect for scouting out their opponent.

(Floor 55)

The portal outside of Lisbeth's shop glowed and terrified some of the civilian players as nine people walked out of it, garbed in black with an assortment of weaponry on their person.

"Holy shit...That's them...The Nazgul." Someone whispered.

"Nazgul? Who are they?"

"Kibaou says they're carrion. Picking off the scraps that the clearing group make." Says another.

"Heard from the pink haired blacksmith who does work of the Blood Oath that these guys are tough as nails. Unkillable. The one with the spiked helm, he's supposed to have taken Kibaou and his best in and won in combat."

Harry chuckled at that. It wasn't true but Harry had been in a showdown. A quick question from Kiba later, who was easily the more people friendly of the guild and found themselves in front of a cosy armoury. Harry pushed the door open to find the Pink Haired owner throttling Kirito and the remains of a broken blade on the floor just about to disentegrate into polygons "Lisbeth? Kirito? As amusing as this is. No matter what Kirito has done I'm going to need him."

Lisbeth turned around and paled. One of the Nazgul was bad enough, but all NINE! IN HER SHOP! She had served the Grim Reaper, Commanders of the DDA and Fuurinkazan who were roaming around somewhere, Knights of the Blood Oath and now this lot. "What can I do for you people?"

"Custom weaponry designed for Strength and Durability rather than accuracy." Harry stated unclipping his Morning Star. Lisbeth struggled to lift it onto the counter.

"Big Bastard...S:22 D:36 A:20...What the heck."

Harry smirked "We have the money but you don't have the materials."

Lisbeth nodded "He was going to take me upto the Mountains..."

"...North of here to take on the Dragons. As are we. Help us and we help you."

Lisbeth nodded and with that the ten questers set out. Harry shifting the Bastard for the Morgul and they set out. "What happened to Ex-Wife?"

Kirito chuckled weakly "It got kinda broken. Killed the monster and it gave me the Elucidator." Harry nodded feeling slightly hurt that his sword had been broken but he shrugged, shit happened like that.

"Thanks for telling me. Now lets get these ores."

(Argo)

Argo incapacitated one thug and drove her short sword or technically Harry's knife into another before her limbs snapped together and she passed out.

One of the Laughing Coffin smirked and pinned a note to the door of the house.

If you want to see the Rat again, come to floor Fifty Nine, Abandoned Cove and alone.
