Sorry for lack of updating lately. And to reiterate I don't own Final
Fantasy related materials like the classes, weapons, certain names, etc.
Chapter 8
Wanderers may be Exiles
I woke up early at 4:30 and went to get online. I just hope some of my friends would be there. I didn't bother to check my mail before I went in.
Once Logged In I checked my Compact Menu and found that Lucca was the only person online. Makes some sense. She looked a little older than a teenager and Heather needs beauty sleep, and Ashley and Tucker are still just like little kids.
I notified Lucca that I was here and ready to go. She came running to my dorm room and we set outside along the mountains.
"You sure you know where this convey will be?" Lucca asked me.
"Not entirely but I've heard Highland Capital is in the direction we're headed so they have to come this way." I explained.
"Sounds good enough." she said mustering a loud yawn.
"Tired?" I asked my companion.
"Yea. I guess my real body must be yawning too and the game is projecting it." she said rubbing her tired eyes.
"Mabe if we go up higher we can see them from here." I suggested.
Lucca agreed and followed me up the mountain path but not too far up. We could see most of the small plain between the mountain and the ocean. In the distance was a large truck with a series of people around it walking.
"That must be it." Lucca said.
"Now what should we do? We can't just rush in headfirst." I told her.
"We have to find a way to follow them closely." she said.
"Let's just trail them but keep our distance." I stated moving forward.
The convoy didn't seem to notice us and as long as we made sure they didn't we'd be fine, but how are they transporting Necros? She's way too powerful to control like this, something doesn't add up here.
Then something happened. A large explosion occured on the transports and the beast in the black armor was released.
"What the hell happened?" Lucca asked. The explosion shook the area and we toppled down nearby the area.
"What caused that?" I asked.
"Eliot!" I heard a familiar voice from behind. It was Ashley, and Heather and Tucker were with her.
"Sorry we're late. We tried to log in as soon as we could." Ashley explained.
"Well let's go!" I said leading them further into the debacle.
We stood face to face with the beast. It was even more menacing to look at since I first laid eyes on her. Necros knew us too and prepared to strike.
"Here we go." Heather mumbled.
Necros lunged at us and knocked us down from the wind she created with such speed.
She then began to strike us with her crucifix but blocking the attacks proved to be very hard. She was very powerful. Tucker kept back and healed us whenever he could and it was always needed.
"This isn't looking good. What's her HP at?" Heather asked.
"My readout says its........." Lucca studdered.
"What what is it!?"
"Infinite." Lucca said just amazed.
This can't be. Necros has and infinite amount of HP. That means no matter how long we beat on her she won't even be dented.
As Necros was about to hit us again we saw this cannon being wheeled in behind her. People were arming it.
"Keep her busy. We'll take care of this." Somebody said into Lucca's earpiece.
"Easier said than done whoever you are." Lucca answered back behind struck to the ground.
Tucker used a Pheonix Down and she was back on her feet at half strength.
We held off Necros for what seemed like forever until the cannon charged and fired at her. It hit her directly and she screamed out in pain from it. She tore around in midair and her armor shattered from her form. She lay there slumped in midair, her armor cracked and completely broken at some parts. Her helmet was gone and a yellow light with blue hair was under it.
"I got a new reading!" Lucca declared. "Her HP is 1000. That blast must have done something."
Now Necros was vulnerable to us. Whatever shot her was damn powerful. I took charge and Fated Circled her with the remainder of my MP. She was falling down to 900 HP. We all let loose with skills until once she reached 500 HP she did something. She threw her crucifix in the air and sent these rock spears at us somehow. They were about to strike.
"Go!" I heard Ashley shout. Just then a gigantic rock creature appeared in front of us and blocked the shots.
"What's that?" I asked.
"Remember that summon from my first day with you. I wasn't gonna not use him forever." she explained.
"Little girl had some power. What is that thing though?" Heather asked.
"It's Golem. It's a monster that can guard for the players, until it runs out of HP."
Golem then vanished. He must have run out.
We pounded on and on and finally at 24 HP.........
I cut her with my Gunblade pulling the trigger. Her armored form began to shake violently and her crucifix dissolved into nothing as her body began to degenerate into the cloaked figure we all knew.
This time her cloak was shred and it was a little girl. She looked no older than 6 years old.
She looked like she was about to fall to the ground when Heather ran up and held her up.
"You did it. Finally." she said.
"Did what?" I asked "Just what the hell is going on!?"
"I am special to this world. And what I am about to tell you is a well kept secret."
"Secret?"
"This world is not a game. It is all real. Why else does everything feel so real to you. No such technology exists yet." she explained.
"Then how are we here?" I asked.
"I am one of four special children. We each control one of the servers with out minds. It is very hard to do. We are enslaved to constantly keep it up. I am one of the evil children. My brother is the one of the good ones. The four of us don't want to keep doing this, but as you can see our bodies don't want us to die which is how the monsters we become came to be."
"I get it. You four want to die but your body has some sort of defense system that will engage when threatened, right?" Lucca said.
"Yes. We want to be killed so we can be free from this burden. The only way to do that would be through this world."
"Wait, if we are here than where did our bodies go?" Ashley asked.
"The device you use to access is where we take your mind and project it here. This explains why people die from playing. However if everybody died when they lost in the game then this wouldn't be successful. Only the people aware of the truth here that this is real are vulnerable."
"How?"
"It's simple really. People who think its a game obviously think they can't actually die so their minds don't let them, but if they know its real than their minds will make it so." Lucca explained.
"But now what do we do?" Tucker spoke up.
"Please, if you want all this nonsense in this world to end you must kill the rest of my siblings. Without them the world here cannot exist." Necros said before fading from Heathers arms.
In a moment she was gone.
"Well not much choice now. I suppose we have to go after these kids then." I said to everyone.
"But first you're coming with us!" A man in thick armor said.
I'm am really sorry for such a long delay. And I hope it doesn't get stale after this chapter. Thanks for bearing with me and reviewing anyway.
