YAY! Ch.3 of this fic! ^^ Lol. For all those who waited now you can find out about Crim's story to Subaru.^^ And what the other characters are doing in 'The World.' ^^ Also remember to R&R ~.^ I like to know what people think so I could make the chapters a lil better.^^ ~*Mimi*~ ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Subaru gasped at what she heard from Crim. Another player in a coma? But wasn't that problem already settled? Didn't the Administration take care of it? It seemed like they didn't if someone else was hurt. The Silver Knight noticed Subaru's reaction and looked madly at Crim.
"What's this nonsense, Crim? Don't scare Lady Subaru like that! A game cannot place someone in a coma! It's a virtual world, not-"
The Silver Knight was cut off by Crim finishing the sentence for him.
"Not the real world? Yes, I know that. But then how else could it explain the situation? Tell me, Silver Knight! The child was seen on the floor with her goggles on! The game she was playing was, 'The World!' Explain her reason for dropping motionless on the ground! Explain it to me! Along with the reason why so many users are in the hospital with the same case!" yelled out Crim that started to draw attention from other players.
"Enough," silently said Subaru to the both of them," Crim...Silver Knight is right. This is only a game. Nothing more. If it is as dangerous as you say the Administration would have said so."
"Subaru, please don't agree with this selfish man. You know as well as I that this has happened before. Don't you remember the case with Tsukasa? Or-"
"I said enough, Crim," her voice turned harsh and made Crim stop talking with a worried look," I know about those cases. Don't underestimate the power of the knights. But I ask...please ignore the following. We don't need this type of information to scare any players. If you have a problem with it, then talk to the Administration."
"Maybe I will..," he mumbled as he walked off.
Subaru didn't mean to hurt his feelings, but she didn't want any trouble either. The matter with Tsukasa was taken care of months ago. It didn't need to come back and taunt her. Closing her eyes she wished that Crim's warning wouldn't be true.
~*In Highland City Dun Loireag*~
BT logged in with a smile on her face. Playing the game took so much stress off her back, and she wanted to talk it out with Bear. But her thoughts of a perfect day changed when she remembered about the Boards. An interesting article was posted today. It was written by some player who heard about her friend going into a coma. Keeping this fresh inside her mind, BT ran to go find Mimiru and Bear.
As usual the two were sitting in their normal spot by the fence. Mimiru seemed to be waiting for someone. That someone must have been Tsukasa, because it was like her to call him recklessly. Bear just smiled at something Mimiru said, turned, and was frozen when he saw BT.
"Bear?" asked Mimiru as she too turned around and saw BT," It's BT! But-But we didn't-"
"You didn't call me, I know," replied BT coming closer with her wand,"I felt like finding the two of you."
"For what reason?" questioned Mimiru.
BT's eyes were focused on the sky. The silence made it seem like she was never going to speak, until she opened her mouth.
"Another player was sent to the hospital yesterday. She was found on the floor while playing this same game. Doctors say she'll stay in a coma for some time...and may never wake up."
Both Mimiru and Bear gasped after hearing what BT said. It couldn't be! Another player sent to a coma after all these months? Mimiru and Bear thought after Tsukasa there'd be no more victims, but it seems as though it has started again. All after that message.....

"Ironic, isn't it?" asked BlackRose to Kite while the two logged in.
"Huh? What do you mean by that?"
"I didn't think we'd spend today like this," she let out a short giggle then started to walk with him.
Everything was quiet in Mac Anu. Only the sound of the river could be heard and several footsteps of the other players. It all shattered with the shriek of Mistral logging in. She found out where Kite and BlackRose went. The two turned around quickly in shock to see her standing by the Chaos Gate with a puffed up, mad, face.
"Oh, DAMMIT!" she yelled out," I couldn't get that Grunty! I'm sooo mad!"
She screamed, cried, and kicked things out of her way. Mistral was right, she was mad for not catching that Baby Grunty. Maybe it was best. After all, she was torturing the poor thing, and that was no way to take care of one. Finally the anger reach its limit as she ran around like a wild bull. Kite and BlackRose jumped to the side to avoid getting hit by her, but someone wasn't as lucky. Mistral bumped into an innocent player that now lay on the ground moaning from the pain of linking their heads together. Kite went over to apologize for her rude behavior until he jumped back in horror.
"It's you!"
Balmung sat up holding his head with his hand, and bleamed the meanest look at all of them.
"So we met again....." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- Kay, if it's a cliffhanger sorry! ^^; I've become so into ending stories in cliffhangers. Lol. Mistral bumped herself into Balmung of the Azure Sky; Descendant of Fianna! Oh,boy. ^^; Kite and BlackRose be having a lot of trouble on their hands. How will Balmung reaction to their rude behavior? Will Bear, Mimiru, and BT take care of the new case? How will Subaru and Crim handle things? And where are the other players? Well, all answered latered on.^^; Lol. So Ch.4 will be up soon! ^^ You'll just need to wait a lil.
