Chapter 2 - Shadow
Jezin remained, watching me. Watching me with those evil, creepy eyes.
"Jezin, are you..." I tried to breath out. "Are you okay...?"
Suddenly, I felt the Cyberband deactivate, sending me back to the real world. I looked around.
"The winner... Jezin Ijuin!"
I paused and looked around. I began to wonder what had happened.
Jezin's form reappeared across from me, a look of triumph on his face. His eyes seemed normal, back to their usual color. Had I just imagined it?
No, I told myself, I couldn't have.
Jezin laughed a bit and walked over. "I guess I won this time..."
"But... What happened...?" I asked.
"You don't know?" Jezin laughed. "I guess I must have beaten you harder then I thought..."
I stood up. "But... But... Dynast... He was..."
"Dynast...?" Jezin looked at me a bit weird. "You mean that old legend? You know Navis don't exist anymore!"
I gulped. "Tell me what you know about Dynast..."
"Don't you know anything about Zelloss Grausherra...?"
"Err... I kinda do..." I said.
"Then you probably know about Dynast..." Jezin grinned, then turned and walked away, leaving me without an answer.
* * * * *
I walked out of the arena later that day, to go and catch the Metroline home. Despite all the years, the Metroline still existed.
After returning to my hometown, ACDC, I looked around a bit. Nothing special. School. Data shop. Library. Pa...
Library?
I suddenly realized what a stroke of luck it was, and ran over.
As I reached the doors, I rushed in, and quickly walked over to the front desk. A girl of about my age, with long brown hair, and purple eyes, looked at me. "Heyo, Sirius!"
"Hey, Jayne" I said. Jayne was Jezin's cousin. "I need you to help me find something..."
"Oh...?" Jayne asked. "What on?"
"Dynast."
"Dynasty? As in the Chinese?"
"No. Dynast. As in NetNavi..."
Jayne gulped. "Fiction or Non?"
"Non, preferrably... Heck, gimme everything you've got!" I said.
"It's all out..."
"WHAT?"
"People have always been interested in real-life legends. Dynast and Zelloss Grausherra classify as real-life legends. Material on them is constantly signed out."
"Damnit..." I swore.
"Why do you need to know...?"
"N... Nothing..." I said.
"Okay then..." Jayne smiled. "Have a nice day!"
I nodded and walked out. So mabye it wasn't a stroke of luck...
So, I walked out, and turned immediatly into the Data store.
Inside, I pulled on my Cyberband immediatly. The Cyberworld lit up in front of my face, and I could see displays of Datasilver everywhere.
Err... I guess you don't know what Datasilver is, do you? Or Adaptor Bits?
Datasilver is the replacement for Data chips. Datasilver coins can be used just by thought or name instantly, making them more efficent then Data chips. Incredibly powerfull and effective, really. So, they've taken the place of Data chips.
Adaptor Bits can be built into the Headband, or Cyberband, to give special abilites. I have an incredibly rare and expensive one, called the Tracker Lens. It's that little lens over my right eye that lets me see signals from humans on the net.
I looked around. Above the Datasilvers, there were little animated images of the attacks in use. Rather comical. I looked around, and spotted a new one.
Above it, it showed a person punching forward, but the repeated animation kept showing the wall he was targeting get cut open.
"What the...?" I walked over to it. Only one Datasilver was below it. Meaning they only had one in stock. Sometimes, this shop got rare chips from people.
"That's a Wavepunch..." a man's voice smiled from behind me. "I suspect you would know that, son..."
"Hey, dad" I muttered. My dad, Vincent Skie, ran the shop. Of course, I still had to pay for the Data I took, unless we had tons of it. Can't be ruining the family buisness, he always said.
"It allows you to punch forward and create a wave of air that can cut through things. It's easy to fool people into thinking you're just taunting them, then... Slice!" Vincent grinned. He was rarely serious. Which made him a good Netbattler.
"How much?" I asked.
"15000 Zenny."
"Deal!"
Vincent looked surprised for a moment. "Forgot you had a tournament this morning... Okay!"
Vincent grabbed the Datasilver and handed it to me. I slipped it into a small pouch.
"Oh, that reminds me..." Vincent said. "Dreamer called. Said he wants to challenge you..."
"Again?" I laughed. "Dreamer knows he can't beat me..."
"Said something about knowing about what happened at the tournament..."
I choked. "What?" I shouted out. "Where did he want to meet?"
"At the ONBA Arena, like always."
I realized I had asked a stupid question. Dreamer, who was Jezin's other cousin, was an ONBA netbattler for Electopia. He's very high ranked.
"Okay!" I grinned, and left quickly.
"Hey, wait, there's som..." Vincent tried to call after me, but I didn't hear the rest.
Quickly, I ran back to the Metroline and hopped on, letting it take me to Marine Harbor.
* * * * *
When I arrived at the ONBA Arena, Dreamer was already waiting. Dreamer has messy purple hair (What is it with that color hair, it seems common among my friends...), and a deepened shade of purple eyes. He's decently tall, and wears a black shirt and black shorts that show a lot of his skin, since the sleeves, legging, and collar have been cut.
"Hey, Dreamer!" I called over.
Dreamer turned and looked at me. "Sirius..."
"What did you see...?" I demanded.
"I'll tell you after our Netbattle..."
"Cheater..."
"Don't worry, I'm much improved since we last battled..."
"I should hope so..."
"Say that one more time and I'll forget about your rank and take you out right here."
* * * * *
My data transported into the Cyberworld. Dreamer's form appeared opposite of me.
"Exhibition Match, Dreamer Grausherra against Sirius Skie, begin now!"
Dreamer grinned. I could barely see it, though. Dreamer's body had a real cybernetic makeover, now wearing a black shirt and full jeans covered over by a grey vest. He had silver-tinted pants that were complete pants, and two large sheaths formed an X across his back.
"Long Sword, Draw!" Dreamer shouted, pulling a sword that appeared from the sheath and dashing towards me.
I backed up for a moment. "Killer Sensor, Acitvate!"
The little floating eyeball appeared, and the white light shot towards Dreamer and instantly turned into a beam.
Dreamer suddenly dissapeared, and I felt a slash across my back. I turned around.
"Told you I've improved..." Dreamer grinned, uppercutting me with his free hand.
I flew back a bit, crashing into the Killer Sensor and removing it. I stood up again. "Molten Sand!"
A large burst of flame shot from my hand, shooting at Dreamer. It shot into him, burning him, as sand settled around him, leaving tiles of sand.
"Oh yeah?" Dreamer dared. "Advance Attack, Littlebomb, Crassbomb, Bigbomb! Create the Busterbomb!"
Dreamer's open hand flashed for a second, before a large bomb appeared in it. He threw it at me.
I dived out of the way, and just in time, as it exploded immensely. I realized Dreamer really had changed.
As I stood up from my dive, I noticed another bomb flying towards me.
The blast sent me flying. I stood up, ready to fight more, and noticed another was coming my way.
The Busterbomb must give him infinite bombs, I realized. I gulped and activated the WavePunch.
I shot my fist forward. Dreamer grinned. "A punch can't hurt me from..."
Dreamer clenched his chest. His armor had been torn open. "A Wavepunch... Of course... I've about had it with you..." Dreamer grinned. "Advance Attack, Sword, FireSword, FlareBlade! Sword, AquaSword, WaveBlade! Create the MagmaSabre and the FrostSabre!"
Two large swords appeared in the hilts, and Dreamer drew them both out, his hand returning to normal. Dreamer dashed towards me.
"Try me!" I grinned. "Magnum Cannon!"
A large cannon appeared in my hand, and I shot it straight into the ground. The panels in front rapidly shot up and dissapeared. Dreamer was gone too.
"That was too... Urk!"
"I love QuickMove..." Dreamer muttered behind me. He had both the FrostSabre and the MagmaSabre in my back. I used a quick GetAway to get off of the blades, but it didn't help much.
"Recovery S..." I began to mutter, then remembered what had happened. Dreamer had changed so much. How did I know that he wouldn't be able to use a Reverse Medicine like Dynast had? I changed my attack. "Deathmatch Powered!"
The ground fell away near us, leaving only us two on the only panels remaining. GetAway had teleported me a fair distance from Dreamer, so there was a gap between us.
"Let's go, Snake!" I shouted out.
Tons of snakes appeared, once from each missing part of the battlefield, and turned towards Dreamer.
"Not this time!" Dreamer shouted. "Quickermove!"
Dreamer dissapeared, to reappear behind me. The snakes turned towards us.
I gulped. The snakes shot towards the two of us.
"Invisibility!" Dreamer grinned, dissapearing. The snakes all shot towards me.
I was nearly instantly ejected.
"The winner, Dreamer Grausherra!"
* * * * *
"You weren't operating at top ability, Sirius. Are you preoccupied...?" Dreamer asked.
"What did you see go on?" I asked.
"I know it was him..." Dreamer gulped.
"Dynast?"
Dreamer stepped back, a bit stunned. "Don't say his name, fool..."
"What's so bad...?" I asked, before Dreamer hushed me up.
"If it got out that he is still out there, people would go nuts..."
"H... How did you know...?" I asked.
"Real Lens..." Dreamer winked at me. "Everybody was looking at your cyber images, which I sensed wasn't real, instead, an illusion, so I used Real Lens to see what was really going on. I knew you two were fighting together. It also didn't take me long to figure out who you were fighting..."
"How did you find out...?" Sirius asked.
"Call it a hunch..." Dreamer looked around nervously. "Listen, we have to find Jezin, before it's too late..."
"Why?" I asked.
"Jezin... If what I think is going on is right, and I really did see Jezin's blood mix with darkness, then there is really a danger out there..." Dreamer said. "I've studied my great-grandfather long enough to know trouble when I see it..."
"Oh, I forgot about that..." I said. "You're Zelloss' grandson..."
Dreamer nodded. "So is Jezin, and Jayne. Jezin is especially bad for it. He's got true Grausherra blood running through him, strong. His judgement is impared towards instinct because of it..."
"But why would Jezin be dangerous?"
"Sirius, obviously you don't understand..." Dreamer pulled something out of his pocket. A pocketbook. "Let's see... here it is..." he handed it to me, at an open page.
Blackfang - the name of the supposed demon that lived inside Zelloss Grausherra, people have said that there were other cases of it, although nobody has confirmed it. All cases of Blackfang being inside of somebody, aside from Zelloss Grausherra, were in his sons and grandsons. Blackfang is a dangerous force that can be passed easily from Grausherra to Grausherra...
I paused and looked up. "Jezin... If he's Zel's great-grandson or whatever, that means he's a Grausherra, right...?"
Dreamer nodded. "Yeah. That's why he's in danger. If Blackfang has even had the slightest chance to effect him..."
I looked around. We were in a darkened hallway. "We need to find him fast..."
"Find who fast...?" a familiar voice stopped me cold.
"Enkou, this is none of your buisness..." I put a tinge of hate in my voice. "Come near me and I'll have you locked up..."
Enkou laughed and walked out. He had deep black hair and shadow-like eyes. Enkou was several years older then I was, and he was a Rogue.
A Rogue is just that. A Netbattler who doesn't play by the rules. A thief and a murderer. You get the idea.
"There's nothing you can do to me..." Enkou grinned. "I've died and survived that. Locking me up won't get rid of me..."
"Shut up..." I cursed at Enkou. I had heard the story of how he had been found in an old orphan building that had burned to the ground, his body badly burned, scarred, and cut, and seemingly no vital functions. As the doctors declared him dead, his body began to repair itself, returning to normal. He had somehow lived. There was also supposed to have been another in there, an older man, but he had died.
"What do you want, Enkou?" Dreamer glared at Enkou.
"Simple. I came to help you" Enkou smiled.
"How do I know you're not here on orders?"
"You don't" Enkou grinned menacingly. "You'll just have to trust me. Jezin is trying to collect himself. You know, that whole 'Inner Peace' and meditation thing he's into. He's on Jigoku."
"Fuck..." I swore. "He's probably got the damn boat, too..."
"No, I don't..."
I turned around. Another person had come from the other end of the hallway. Jezin was standing there.
"Jezin!" I looked at him. Enkou walked up behind me.
"I didn't think it would be necessary to bother with Jigoku today, when there's something that's stopping me..." Jezin said.
"What...?" I asked.
"You have to clear your mind of worry to achieve inner peace..." Jezin looked at me, something dark in his eyes. "I knew you were worrying about me. So I had to worry about you. And that's going to stop me..."
Dreamer looked hard at Jezin. "Wh... Oh... No..."
I bit my lip. "Jezin, there's something wrong with you, I don't think you..." I started.
Dreamer turned to look at me. "Sirius get out of here! Enkou, you too!"
"What?" I shouted.
Dreamer looked hard at me. "Just get the fuck out of here! He's got Blackfang. It's acting within him, trying to make it think it's in his best interest to..."
Dreamer's arm was cut open as one of the dark-handled blades Jezin had stabbed into it. Blood trickled onto the floor.
Dreamer let out a shout of pain, before turning to look at Jezin. "So that's how you wanna play, do you...?" he pulled on his Cyberband.
I reached for my own and attached it quickly.
Dreamer was locked in contact with Jezin, both holding swords out in front of them, locked together.
Dreamer pushed forward, sending Jezin a bit off balance, and Jezin pulled back. "Advance Attack, Sword, Dark Sword, Shadow Blade! Create Mazoku Sabre!" Jezin shouted.
The sword Jezin was holding flared up with darkness, and I could see it reflected in his eyes.
Dreamer raised his own sword in challenge. "Advance Attack, Sword, Holy Sword, Saint Blade! Create Angel Sabre!"
Dreamer's sword turned a bright white, and he dashed at Jezin. The two swords locked, the light and the dark struggling in a battle.
I felt Enkou tug at my arm. "Comeon!" he called. I nodded and turned to follow Enkou.
As we reached the end of the hall, we exited the building quickly. I turned on the Tracker Lens and watched through the walls.
Dreamer pulled back, the power of the Angel Sabre extinguished, but the Mazoku Sabre was still going. "Breaker Sword, Draw!"
Dreamer pulled out a large sword, and swung it into the Mazoku Sabre. It slashed through the dark blade, cutting it in two, and extinguishing it's power. He brought it swinging towards Jezin.
"Kunai Ace, Deuce, Triplex!" Jezin moved back and flicked his wrist. I saw six small objects stick into Dreamer's chest, and a bit of red appear.
"Oh no..." I realized. "He doesn't realize that he really is bleeding..."
"What?" Enkou asked.
"That Blackfang... It's got a weird effect on the Cyberworld..." I said. "Normally, people can't bleed in the cyberworld, it's just a rare effect. With it, you really can be seriously injured..."
"And Dreamer..."
"Doesn't know that!"
Dreamer pulled back, and removed the Kunais from his chest. "Advance Attack, Breaker Sword, Growing Sword, Magic Sword! Create the Omega Sabre!"
A huge sword of energy appeared in Dreamer's hand, and he brought it swinging towards Jezin, almost certain to hit.
Jezin dissapeared for an instant, reappearing behind Dreamer.
"No!" I shouted.
A long blade formed in Jezin's hand, covered in pure darkness. He brought it down into Dreamer's chest.
I could see blood form in a pool at Dreamer's feet from all this distance away, the long sword speared right through Dreamer's heart.
"Dreamer!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. Dreamer's cybersignal dissapeared.

I gulped. "Tell me what you know about Dynast..."
"Don't you know anything about Zelloss Grausherra...?"
"Err... I kinda do..." I said.
"Then you probably know about Dynast..." Jezin grinned, then turned and walked away, leaving me without an answer.

I walked out of the arena later that day, to go and catch the Metroline home. Despite all the years, the Metroline still existed.

"Dynast."
"Dynasty? As in the Chinese?"
"No. Dynast. As in NetNavi..."

"Non, preferrably... Heck, gimme everything you've got!" I said.
"It's all out..."
"WHAT?"
"People have always been interested in real-life legends. Dynast and Zelloss Grausherra classify as real-life legends. Material on them is constantly signed out."
"Damnit..." I swore.
"Why do you need to know...?"

"Said something about knowing about what happened at the tournament..."
I choked. "What?" I shouted out. "Where did he want to meet?"
"At the ONBA Arena, like always."
I realized I had asked a stupid question. Dreamer, who was Jezin's other cousin, was an ONBA netbattler for Electopia. He's very high ranked.
"Okay!" I grinned, and left quickly.
"Hey, wait, there's som..." Vincent tried to call after me, but I didn't hear the rest.
Quickly, I ran back to the Metroline and hopped on, letting it take me to Marine Harbor.
* * * * *

"Cheater..."
"Don't worry, I'm much improved since we last battled..."

"Say that one more time and I'll forget about your rank and take you out right here."

I looked around. We were in a darkened hallway. "We need to find him fast..."

"Enkou, this is none of your buisness..." I put a tinge of hate in my voice. "Come near me and I'll have you locked up..."
Enkou laughed and walked out. He had deep black hair and shadow-like eyes. Enkou was several years older then I was, and he was a Rogue.
A Rogue is just that. A Netbattler who doesn't play by the rules. A thief and a murderer. You get the idea.
"There's nothing you can do to me..." Enkou grinned. "I've died and survived that. Locking me up won't get rid of me..."
"Shut up..." I cursed at Enkou. I had heard the story of how he had been found in an old orphan building that had burned to the ground, his body badly burned, scarred, and cut, and seemingly no vital functions. As the doctors declared him dead, his body began to repair itself, returning to normal. He had somehow lived. There was also supposed to have been another in there, an older man, but he had died.
"What do you want, Enkou?" Dreamer glared at Enkou.
"Simple. I came to help you" Enkou smiled.
"How do I know you're not here on orders?"
"You don't" Enkou grinned menacingly. "You'll just have to trust me. Jezin is trying to collect himself. You know, that whole 'Inner Peace' and meditation thing he's into. He's on Jigoku."
"Fuck..." I swore. "He's probably got the damn boat, too..."
"No, I don't..."
I turned around. Another person had come from the other end of the hallway. Jezin was standing there.
"Jezin!" I looked at him. Enkou walked up behind me.

"What?" I shouted.
Dreamer looked hard at me. "Just get the fuck out of here! He's got Blackfang. It's acting within him, trying to make it think it's in his best interest to..."
Dreamer's arm was cut open as one of the dark-handled blades Jezin had stabbed into it. Blood trickled onto the floor.
Dreamer let out a shout of pain, before turning to look at Jezin. "So that's how you wanna play, do you...?" he pulled on his Cyberband.
I reached for my own and attached it quickly.
Dreamer was locked in contact with Jezin, both holding swords out in front of them, locked together.
Dreamer pushed forward, sending Jezin a bit off balance, and Jezin pulled back. "Advance Attack, Sword, Dark Sword, Shadow Blade! Create Mazoku Sabre!" Jezin shouted.
The sword Jezin was holding flared up with darkness, and I could see it reflected in his eyes.
Dreamer raised his own sword in challenge. "Advance Attack, Sword, Holy Sword, Saint Blade! Create Angel Sabre!"
Dreamer's sword turned a bright white, and he dashed at Jezin. The two swords locked, the light and the dark struggling in a battle.
I felt Enkou tug at my arm. "Comeon!" he called. I nodded and turned to follow Enkou.
As we reached the end of the hall, we exited the building quickly. I turned on the Tracker Lens and watched through the walls.
Dreamer pulled back, the power of the Angel Sabre extinguished, but the Mazoku Sabre was still going. "Breaker Sword, Draw!"
Dreamer pulled out a large sword, and swung it into the Mazoku Sabre. It slashed through the dark blade, cutting it in two, and extinguishing it's power. He brought it swinging towards Jezin.
"Kunai Ace, Deuce, Triplex!" Jezin moved back and flicked his wrist. I saw six small objects stick into Dreamer's chest, and a bit of red appear.
"Oh no..." I realized. "He doesn't realize that he really is bleeding..."
"What?" Enkou asked.
"That Blackfang... It's got a weird effect on the Cyberworld..." I said. "Normally, people can't bleed in the cyberworld, it's just a rare effect. With it, you really can be seriously injured..."
"And Dreamer..."
"Doesn't know that!"
Dreamer pulled back, and removed the Kunais from his chest. "Advance Attack, Breaker Sword, Growing Sword, Magic Sword! Create the Omega Sabre!"
A huge sword of energy appeared in Dreamer's hand, and he brought it swinging towards Jezin, almost certain to hit.
Jezin dissapeared for an instant, reappearing behind Dreamer.
"No!" I shouted.
A long blade formed in Jezin's hand, covered in pure darkness. He brought it down into Dreamer's chest.
I could see blood form in a pool at Dreamer's feet from all this distance away, the long sword speared right through Dreamer's heart.
"Dreamer!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. Dreamer's cybersignal dissapeared.
