Hack/REVOLUTION

Chapter Five

Conflict

Two figures warped from the chaos gate to the new un discovered field both warily taking in there surroundings as they blinked at the incredible distance as the field just stretched and stretched and you get the point. "Hey David does it really stretch for like a long time?" Travis asked as he blew a strand of hair out of his face swinging his wand around lazily as he looked for a magic portal being only at a level 6.

The taller player snorted as he heaved two axes out with a swift movement waving it around "no it goes for a long time before it eventually relapses over it" for a second the light brown haired user just raised an eyebrow. Since when did David get smart? His eyebrows furrowed as he heard a wind whooshing sound behind them glancing behind as a few little rats scurried out from the portal.

Without warning his partner rushed forward and slashed his axe down causing great amount of damage with each swing before the creature perished becoming as black as coal reliving a chest in it's place. "See we get 70 EXP for defeating things like this in a level 10 Water area you should be proud to be on my team" the ice mage merely sighed as he waved his hand telling the more buff player to shutup.

'I'm sure I'm proud' rolling his eyes as if agreeing with his own mindless thoughts he opened the chest grabbing the scroll tightly shoving it in his pocket looking at David "so where to now?" he asked as they started to run across the snow field to use up as much time as possible following the map carefully. "Were heading to the dungeon grabbing the items at the bottom and heading back up" he responded as they effortlessly ran stopping short as they heard an almost squeak like voice.

"White cherry!"

It piped up as the two backtracked there steps showing a bit of confusion on there faces "what the hell is that a talking cherry?" the heavy axe user looked quite amused as it continued to squeak out it's name. Travis took out his staff and prodded to offending squeaker shaking a bit of snow off the vine part as it started to bounce. "Maybe it's an item" Travis murmured reaching out and put it in the key item pocket with a small smile "see I'm smart" he only received a small 'hmph'.

As they continued to run toward the dungeon they chatted about schoolwork and anime ignoring the crushing of snow beneath there feet as their tracks disappeared soon after they were made. Stopping they waited for the portal to set out enemies but surprisingly it didn't and instead a chest stood in all it's glory.

"Sweet!"

David grabbed the item and waved it with distaste written across his colored skin "it's a wavemaster weapon..I don't have use for it" Travis sighed, he would have to smack David sometime when it truly counted, like in real life. He chuckled at his evil thoughts and took the item switching it with his old weapon and smirked smugly "well I AM" he proudly announced.

"But I thought you were a ice mage."

"I am but I can equip wavemaster weapons too there's just certain types of magic that I can only use like ice and water" he sighed exasperated and trudged on picking up snow as he went. David followed right behind Travis and for a while none said anything. Until the ice mage grunted form the pressure placed on his shoulder as the axe user thrusted his finger toward the dungeon not noticing the obvious displeasure form his friend. "There it is, there it is, there it is!" he repeated quickly his words slurred together to make something that wouldn't even be called English while Travis sighed.

The pressure suddenly left as the Orca/ Bear look alike rushed forward looking like a maniac as he headed to the dungeon before he crashed right into a figure just transporting in "Hey!" the figure was pushed to the ground landing on his butt glaring at the bull dozer who merely grinned sheepishly.

It was at these times that Travis wished he didn't know the dark haired user, hell sometimes he wished he never met him but then he wouldn't know the rest of his friends. A sigh escaped his frost bitten lips as he slowly headed over to the two that were now head to head swearing at each other with venomous tongues.

"I TOLD YOU TO APOLOGIZE!" the new comer roared at David while the other did similar.

"YOU! YOU APPEARED IN FRONT OF ME!" David hollered at the figure before Travis came between them and pushes them away from each other giving room for them to breath clean air, or at least computerized clean air.

Harshly Travis tried to ignore the popping vein that seemingly throbbed as he shook his head with disgust. Why did everything have to be so.competitive? This was suppose to a friendly game but this guy, was making it like a gang war or something. Speaking of which..

"Where's your group?" Travis asked suspiciously at the white haired man who had the oddest looking outfit he had seen so far hell the guy wore a white shirt, a trench coat that looked highly fashionable reaching just a little past the knees. Baggy black pants and carried around a small deck of cards and wore a black top hat. It really wasn't something Travis had expected.

"What?" the guy looked at Travis ignoring the question asked and looked at himself noting that nothing was out of the ordinary "is my trench coat bothering you?" he made a blank face almost nodding to himself "you don't think this would be one of the classes right? It's a brand new class in the expansion pack that goes with this game" he shrugged letting his hair fall into his face.

"I don't care what class you are, I will kill you!" the teenager lunged forward being stopped by Travis as the younger teen held onto the others arm trying to hold him back while the other man chuckled amused at the temper. "I'm so sorry" his sarcastic ness rose at each sentence the man spoke "I didn't realize it was a crime to wear such clothing but I'm not a fantasy freak like other people" something snapped in David as he shoved Travis hard to the side and waves his axes to threaten as he raced after the white haired man chucking them at high paced yet accurate throws. One managed to knick the other character's shoulder but otherwise he didn't get touched.

"I'm level 15 and you think you can actually hurt me you're mistaken." the offending player swiftly took out a pair of joker's from his card deck and threw them forward "activate Joker effect!" a cloud erupted on the axe wielder as he stood frozen to the spot. "Ma.that should keep you there for awhile at least" a sly smile found it's way to the new comers face as he raised an eyebrow at Travis.

"Don't you know what status he has on him?"

A shake of the ice mage's head made the white haired teen to rethink his acts.

"You guys are new to this game ne?"

A nod.

".Then why are you here? You should be in a lower level if you don't know anything about this game" the character was met with a blank face and a pissed off angry look. "Well so what I don't care what you think, we came here so there XP" David yelled before he blinked as the effect wore off and looked to there soon to be new comrade.

"Well since you guys have absolutely no idea of what you're doing except killing things I'm joining you're group!" Travis and David received the others member address and shrugged to each other.

Cause they say.

The more..the merrier.

"Names Jackal nice to meet you"
