.hack//legend of the twig light bracelet( what if…. Part 2)
He had awoken. He opened his eyes narrowly, discovering his body was in a deep void " where…… where am I?" he asked himself quietly. He felt like he was floating around in space at the time.
Lying down was about the only thing his body knew how to do. He thought to himself " I'll just log off and I should be ok…" he attempted to remove his neuro-goggles, but he failed. His arms not responding in the real world. Suddenly, a glow came from out of the darkness. The glow became a light heat, then a larger blur of light, until it made a figure. " Aura! Get me out of here!" Aura nodded, but she explained what might happen in the future if he didn't start working harder. He nodded " I cannot let that happen. To Rena, or anyone else!" Aura put her hand on his forehead and Shugo vanished from Morganna's void. Aura, being smart, vanished as well.
Rena's sword had impaled the beast, the data bug had been weakened by the young blade masters attack. Rena was in awe as she saw the outcome of the attack, it had shrunken the beast tenfold and weakened it exactly as much. She nodded, now poking the monster, killing it with one hit. Her comrades had not gone to game over yet, so she started browsing through her inventory. " aha! " she yanked out 2 resurrects and used them on each one. Sanjuro and Ouka both nodded and replied " thanks, how did you beat it? " she shook her head " I dunno, it just seemed to fall into place as the fight was under way." they continued on through the cold, icy walls of the dungeon, where they came across a peculiar room. " what's in here? " Rena asked. The room filled with light as a chaos gate appeared in the room. "wha?" Rena exclaimed. The light faded, leaving a character. "Shugo!!" Rena dashed over to him and hugged him tightly " don't you ever do that again!" she said.
They sat at the river of mac anu. Both quite silent. A character, who looked strangely like Rena passed by, but in a way, much different. Shugo jumped up. "Rena…. I…… I want to protect you for a while. Strange things are to happen from here on out." Rena nodded. " I will protect my brother too. I don't want you to be gone…." they hugged and both went to the chaos gate, along with Sanjuro and Ouka. They went to the hidden forbidden holy grounds, they wanted to confront Morganna, together this time. They stepped in the cold, dark walls of the cathedral, their weapons drawn. They walked around slowly, cautious and cunning. They stepped about until a dark aurora appeared before them. " we're ready for you this time. We have no regrets as to the outcome of this fight." they said simultaneously.
The clash of the powers had begun. The power of the twig light against the darkness that had befallen so many others. Their struggle began when Morganna began charging her spells. Shugo and Rena dashed forward, while Ouka and Sanjuro acted as a decoy. The struggle only worsened as time flew by. They were nearly out of potions. Morganna let fly a dark blast, it aimed for Rena. Shugo dashed in the way of the attack, blocking for her. "AUGH!" the blow took near all the health of him. He knelt down and said " sorry Rena… I wont give up though." he dashed forward. Bringing a new slash at Morganna, one thought on his mind. The elimination of Morganna
