.hack//Virus Buster
FILE 00: Prologue
The sky grew to a dark red color. Black lines began forming where clouds had once been. A bird flew in the sky; it was surrounded by a red aura and shattered into thousands of small pieces.
"T-The data! It is being corrupted! I gotta get out of here!" Someone shouted. The logged off of The World. A few more people logged out as well.
Tai ran in between the crowds of people logging off of The World. He saw Molly up ahead, at the edge of the city. She was running into the city from the outer rim of the fields. She was being followed by the source of the corruption.
"Molly!" Tai shouted, "Hurry!"
"Is she your friend?" Said someone from behind Tai. Tai looked back. The user was clad in silver armor; he had a large sword in his hand. He had a strange emblem on his chest armor.
"Yes she is. Are y-you an Administrator?"
The man nodded, "She'd better hurry. Once she gets here I want both of you to log off together. Everyone else is already logged off, and I've closed the server so nobody else can log into this city."
"So that means you can't stop it?"
"I do not know. There is this file I have. But that is too risky."
"What file?"
"A vaccine..." Molly entered the city and ran into Tai's arms. She was tired.
"T-the monster followed me!" She said, trying to breath.
"Get here out of here!" The administrator said.
"But you said there is no way to defeat! That means you need to close the server and leave. Trap the virus in the city and save yourself! Once you are safe you can vaccinate the city."
"No. That is impossible. What level are you?" The administrator said.
"About 20. Why?"
"Take this. If I fail use it." The administrator gave Tai a large book. It had a strange emblem on the front of it. "It is a vaccine. If I get destroyed use it and save yourself."
Tai took the book and nodded. The source of the corruption was a large black dragon-like monster. It entered the city. Were it touched the ground, it became rotted. The buildings it came near were surrounded by a red aura and lifted a few feet in the air and shattered into pieces.
The administrator shouted back to Tai as he charged towards the dragon and into the twilight, "If the administrators ask, you got that back from Magnum. They know me..."
"What?!" Tai lost his breath, "That-that was Magnum. He can't get destroyed, if he does he won't be an administrator anymore, he will become a regular user...no! The data will corrupt his mind he could actually die!"
"That's it!" Shouted Molly, "The comas are being caused by the corrupted viruses!"
"Your right. But now is not the time to talk, go! Get out of here!"
"What about you?"
"I have a promise to keep."
Molly ran back to the gate and logged out. Then Tai heard it, the sound of destruction. He looked back at the dragon, Magnum was gone.
"No! It can't be! This things power must be unlimited..."
Tai opened the book. His armor began to glow, and it turned to a dark blue color. He watched as his sword took a black color. "This isn't a vaccine! It is a virus! What could he be thinking? Now I have every attribute of a no good virus. Wait...could that mean he wants to fight a virus with a virus? It is worth a try..."
Tai raised his hand. It began to glow white as a blue mass formed in the palm. It launched at the dragon, which had by now destroyed half of the city. It struck the head. A large white flash filled the air. Tai couldn't see anything...just white.
Then he could see again. He hadn't moved. The sky was now blue again, with white clouds. But then he looked down. Half of the city was gone. Were there had been land once, was now nothing but a large hole in the ground. A big, bottomless hole...
That was one month ago...
