Chapter 3: Fire Fights, to Endless Blights.

Shugo had nearly sliced Morganna but had missed narrowly. " Rena, now might be a good time for us to run! " Rena, being herself, refuses to leave just yet. Shugo dashes again, Rena on the other side of Morganna. Morganna responded to this attack by moving to the side and saying " your attacks are so pathetic…. " she laughed at she said that, and Morganna had begun a chant.

The Spell hits both Rena and Shugo, leaving them in the red. Both of them remarked " yes, now is a good time to run. " but before their minds could begin to think, Morganna had already sprung a plan.

Morganna had been chanting a spell that at first left a small flame that looked like you could blow it out like a match on the ground. Next the flame grew into a circle of flames, surrounding Shugo and Rena in a fiery arena. " darn, were too late to escape. Only one choice now, we fight. " they nodded to each other, and took their footing. As they began to move towards their opponent, a user gated in before them. The user Shrieked when she had seen Morganna " What is that?! Monster or NPC?! " she jumped behind Shugo and Rena and ducked down. Now they wondered who this person was.

Rena and Shugo dashed apart, Shugo pulled her away from Morganna's dark blast, the flames getting hotter. He wonders who this person is and how she can look so much like Rena. Shugo shrugged, again attacking but missing Morganna " she's agile… " Morganna easily avoided the attacks they gave her, the Girl that had gated in bringing a few slices of her own, connected one. Morganna said" It will take a lot more than one simple hit to take me down, I'll assure you that." Rena at that moment had an idea. She cast Rue Rom on the fire wall " we can run through! Hurry! " they dashed though the now weakened fire barrier, and called for Ouka and Sanjuro to follow.

They had gated back to Delta,Mac Anu. As they scanned the town, they found an unusual disturbance on the game's surface. Sanjuro stated " its all happening like it did 5 years ago, the events that kite fought through, repeating…. " Shugo stared at him, wondering what these events were. He only wanted to play in a world free of real physical danger, yet he got himself into a greater deal of trouble than he originally intended.. The same exact thought was racing through Rena's head. The mysterious girl just stood there, and finally said " hey, don't you even want to know my name? " Both Shugo and Rena nodded to the Heavy Blade.

End part 3, it starts making sense as part 4 comes along for those of you with no knowledge of .hack//dusk
