Hack/REVOLUTION

Chapter Four

Discussion

Colleen literally ripped off her headset after she was able to log out and stood up and began to pace around her house, her heart was now racing at an extreme speed from encountering such a strong enemy and being able to flee from something like that was a miracle she couldn't describe. Silently however she knew that was no ordinary monster and returned to her room grabbing the instructions and flipped through it taking a good hour to read it completely. But it was like what Travis said monsters were not supposed to be in a town unless it was a special event and yet.it wasn't or so she hoped.

Collapsing from the extreme temperature she glanced at the controller and rolled over in her bed she didn't want to log back in for awhile she'd been through one nicely done adventure for one day maybe after school tomorrow. At this thought her blood nearly went cold as her heart seemed to make absolutely no sound whatsoever 'oh god my math' she instantly tumbled over her bed and searched for her math in a hurry to finish what she had forgotten to do during her class last day. ----------

The sun roasted everything over head the rays hit everyone hard as the laughter outside from kids in the pool caused many to sulk as they continued to listen to teachers drawl on in there studies about history, science, and math but for Travis, he had other things to think about. His friend beside him was staring at his character that he had inputted yesterday into 'The World' it was a mixture of Bear and Orca two characters he had absolutely no idea who they were but his friend drew it, although he had to admit the axes were sweet looking. Eventually the time came when they had to get into pairs to do a quick lab on measuring chemicals almost instantly Travis and David paired themselves together chatting about anime which rapidly turned somewhere into 'The World' discussion.

"Yesterday it was so weird" Travis spoke up as the day continued on like usual with as much chatter as possible going around the classroom like a disease "yeah what's that?" David grunted not being very smart and taking more time missed the first question moving on to the next step. "Well I was playing 'The World' with Colleen when all the sudden for no reason at all in the coliseum this monster appeared but it wasn't normal it was like a giant unstoppable monster that can only be found in the toughest part of the game" Travis said while putting down his answer watching David doing most of the 'hands on' experience as always.

"Oh you mean in that whatever you call it town where they had to evacuate due to some nonsense about a hacker?" David responded while pouring the chemicals together "hacker? You mean that town was evacuated?" Travis asked sheepishly while his friend sighed sadly.

Sometimes his friends were very sad indeed. ----------

"HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!" the sound of footsteps followed by a loud "SHUT UP!" was the instant response from the others at the top of the stairs one coming from a rather annoyed teenager. Shanna looked up to see Hayley and moved over managing to make space for the taller girl even though there were twelve other people also in the small space they had chosen to meet every day at lunch. The day went on as always with as much noise as possible making even some of the working out teenagers and teachers in the area leave the vicinity.

While the other less needed to know people talked about non anime related things the hack group all made a small circle and started to talk about the latest occurring events on the game sharing each other there collected information, data, and player levels, and what they have seen so far in the short/ long time they have had it for. Only one person was absent but most of the group didn't really care since he came and went whenever he felt like it, as did, pretty much everyone else.

"So this dragon thing was chasing you guys and you were the ones that nearly ran into me?" Shanna repeated for the third time just to make sure she wouldn't forget anytime soon. Next to her Colleen nodded through her deep concentration on her drawing as her character in Hack "well it was mostly Travis but that chicken wouldn't have done it if I didn't threaten to burn him with my sword." the said person looked up from his peanut butter jelly sandwich with a 'whatever' look etched across his face before resuming his lunch.

"But still it's against the rules to have a monster in the town unless it's an event of some sort" Jon said casually while sipping his soup casting his eyes on the instructions of the game "and the monster that appeared wasn't your ordinary monster either." Hayley pointed out while Colleen finished her drawing showing it to the others that could only gawk at it.

It was an exact replica of what had appeared in the coliseum. ----------

Shanna logged on for the second time and stretched until she was comfortable for moving around, she couldn't shake the feeling something was about to happen and usually her instincts were quite right. Not to long later Colleen logged in beside her as well as Travis, Hayley, Jon, and lastly David appeared. Looking at each other the bunch didn't look very shocked at what each other looked like since the original version of what they looked like were hand drawn from Colleen.

Jon being the oldest of them all would have been considered the logical leader but after a good shouting match it was decided that Colleen should be the leader because she had the biggest temper tantrum out of the whole bunch. "So where to?" Jon muttered out loud sticking his pole axe into the ground making little holes as they lounged on the grass near the newer cities that haven't been used yet by many players. Travis merely shrugged turning a piece of leaf into a icicle and twirled it around bored out of his mind as the fire elemental Asuka/ Mimiru look alike decided on the best place to go as a group.

"Well." she hummed stroking her chin out of habit and proudly put her foot on a nearby rock punching the air as if she had just won some sort of fighting competition "we head to the dungeon!" she announced still shouting enough to catch stares from other people. "Ano." Travis started slowly with a blank look matching the others faces "what dungeon? Have u seen the list of them?" they all chorused while she turned around red in the face from lack of brains in describing what dungeon "DON'T QUESTION ME!" from Travis's point of view it seemed like she had grown horns and started breathing fire and thinking quickly he shut up and went back to his bundle of leaves.

Regaining her natural looking posture she headed to the town with everyone following her every move with there eyes until she was as good as gone before they all looked dumbly at each other "were we suppose to follow?" David asked suddenly still getting used to his two axes for a weapon. When no one responded it seemed as if everyone had died and just stopped breathing altogether "well maybe we should do something I'm bored" Jon complained trying to dig a hole to who knows where for something to do.

Travis stood up and stretched pointed to the town "well then that's settled. let's go!" the remainder of the group groaned to their hearts content completely missing the small fuzzy abnormal glitch on the nearest untouched rock. ----------

Colleen growled to herself waiting at the gold rotating loop that gave you passage to other dungeons and to log out and in depending on what you were going to do also known as the chaos gate. They weren't quite at a high enough level so she couldn't quite take them to the higher levels since they'd just get slaughtered, never mind the lack of skills they all possessed specially the laziest of the group.

Wait.they were all lazy.

Looking back she's smirked evilly as she picked the numerous spots, might as well make this as eventful as possible. Now all set she waited throwing her hair back with a single wave of her hand looking up ignoring the chatter and clatter behind her as the bunch slowly made there way to where she was. Turning around she nodded to herself as if arguing with another part of her brain.

"Okay group!" she spoke up her brown eyes dancing with excitement "in order to make everyone better at teamwork which I know none of you can handle" a few looks were thrown her way but she ignored them just as fast.

"You'll be put into groups and since there's only at this second, six of us there will be two to each team and you will go to the bottom of the dungeon and grab the rare items it's training for the future" she said wisely while the rest just glared hatred looks. In her head she tried to think up the best people for the job as they continued to send hateful looks hoping that would distract her but unfortunately it only fueled her idea.

"Okay David"

The heavy axe man looked up form his talk with the other ice mage that seemed to be pouting s there conversation was ruined. "Mmm?" the not so bright one gave a grunt to acknowledge that he was listening for the most part "you'll be paired with Travis since he lacks in strength" she said without hesitation while the two said names clapped each others hands.

'Lucky.' Shanna thought glancing at the remaining ones. Who was she going to be put with? She hoped it was Hayley.

"Hmm.next will be me and Hayley because we make a great team" Colleen looked at the last two and smiled satisfactorily "and of course the last two will be Jon and Shanna now go to these places and have fun." the others sighed as Colleen and the BT look alike transported to whichever field they put in leaving the rest to just look at each other in misfortune. The heavy axe man seemingly jumped up and down and dragged his partner to the chaos gate and inputted a place leaving with a disgruntled Travis.

This only left Shanna and Jon looking at each other confusedly before the pole axe user scratched his blue hair "so where too?" he looked smug despite the fact that they weren't at a very high level. The black mage user blinked several times and checked the areas slowly before raising an eyebrow as the older man peeked over her shoulder "well I picked last time so you want to go here?" the black sleeveless player read the area and shrugged.

"Yeah besides if we go to a tough place we get more EXP and that's what we need"

"Yeah if you want to die just as fast"

"Shutup"

"Yes ma'am"
