Ok! I messed up bad! I made two separate stories! . Told yah this was my first time! Well the real one is called The darkness that consumes our souls..! OK! Oh and by the way I do not own Phantasy Star Online, or any of the weapons, characters, buildings, enemies, or objects I use in these fics. Phantasy Star Online belongs to Sega, and none other! Now on with Chapter 2! (Oh and if I get any of these monster's names wrong I'm sorry!!)





Chapter 2: The Darkness is coming.

Kireek turned quickly to what she was looking at, but was slammed to the ground by the fist of a large Hildabear before he could even react.

Suddenly, from the trees burst about seven more hildabears, and all of them began charging madly at the two unsuspecting hunters.

Kireek is a pro, however, and he is quick to recover from a mere punch. He jumped to his feet quickly, and leapt to the side evading a large fireball from the same hildabear that had punched him. Kireek readied his large scythe called the soul eater, and back flipped next to Rachael, whom already had her Buster saber drawn.

"Damn.guess you'll just have to skip the child's play monsters eh Rachael?" Kireek said in amusement, making Rachael smirk arrogantly.

"I can handle it if you can!" Rachael shouted as the eight hildabears attacked in rage, and the battle begun.

Kireek took on five of the large beasts, and three of them were already dead with two swipes from his Soul Eater.

Rachael dodged another fireball erupted from the two hildabears she was fighting, and leapt to it with her saber drawn back. She sliced hard into the hildabear's tough flesh, and it pierced it slightly. A small trail of blood came forth, and the hildabear roared in anger and swiped at Rachael with its claw. Rachael dodged, but was smacked to the ground from the other hildabear beside her.

Kireek deflected a blow from one of his opponents and shouted over at Rachael, "Know your enemy Rachael! Even if you are busy with one enemy you must be wary of the others surrounding you!"

Rachael nodded and flipped off the ground, barely avoiding a large fist from a hildabear. She then ran up the large beast's arm as smooth as a ninja and slammed her saber hard into the soft flesh contained on its head. The beast screamed in agony, and slowly fell. Rachael had jumped off the beast before it fell and was about to engage the other in combat when suddenly Kireek's scythe cut the beast completely in half, sending dark blood all over Rachael.

Kireek had already killed the others, and he would be smirking if he had a face as Rachael's face was covered in fury because she was covered in blood.

"Not nice Kireek.." Rachael said, surprised that she had called her master by his name.

Kireek didn't mind and responded, "You had better get to your brother.I will go to the Guild for some personal business."

Rachael nodded, and ran to the telepipe. The second her foot touched the glowing light she vanished.

Kireek looked to his Soul Eater, which was glowing a brilliant purple, and he chuckled slightly. He then leapt over the trees disappearing into the shadows.

Rachael reappeared on Pioneer two from the same telepipe, and immediately began running towards the hospital. She soon arrived, and ran quickly to the counter.

"IS THERE A ROBERT TISHNAL HERE!?" Rachael screamed, catching the counter nurse off guard, and the nurse gave a surprised squeak.

"Um..Um.Robert Tishanl.let me see.." The nurse stuttered and began typing something on a high tech computer.

"WELL?!" Rachael screamed impatiently.

"Yes.here it is.Room 45D," The nurse responded, and Rachael took off down the long hallway to Rob's room.

She reached the room several minutes later and burst through the door.

"Rob!"

But he was gone!



Ok! You like yes? Please review! I would really appreciate it! I might not be able to write this week, but I will begin on Chapter 3 next weekend.

Is Kireek hiding something? Where is Rob? All these questions will be answered in Chapter 3 of Striker's Fic! Thank you!
