"Esufnoc!" shouted Cemetery, and a yellow powder drifted down upon Kindle, Iris, and himself. "Now we are free to attack each other. I hope you have fun against a level 38 player!" Kindle wasn't great at math but knew that Iris was higher than him, and Cemetery was over three times as high in level as her. Unless he was bluffing, they were done for. If Kindle wanted to win this, he would have to rely on skills. "I'll tell you what" said Cemetery. Since I obviously am better than you I won't recover throughout the entire battle." Kindle knew that this would be a simple task for Cemetery. No matter how strong he was, Kindle couldn't match up to a level that high, as far as he knew he was at level 0. "Level doesn't mean a thing" said Iris, holding her staff in an attack position. "All that matters is skill, and me and Kindle can dish out enough for you to handle and then some." At least Iris was confident. In a flash Cemetery charged Kindle and swiped at him with his sword. Kindle got a glimpse of the skull on the end of Cemetery's sword right as he was knocked to the ground. "Eruc!" yelled Iris, pointing her wand at Kindle. Kindle felt his strength return, and knew that Iris has healed him to perfect condition. "I'm surprised that you actually survived one attack" said Cemetery coming right back. He slashed Kindle again and knocked him over. "Eruc!" Kindle got up. Cemetery was coming back. "Owww!" he went down again. "Eruc!!!" Cemetery was coming back. Kindle quickly grabbed his waveblade, but cemetery's armor was too strong. He dropped to the ground, dodging Cemetery's attack and smacked him right in the shin, making him stumble and fall. "Yeah!" Kindle shouted. Iris ran over and slapped him a high five. "You rat" said Cemetery getting up. The heavy armor obviously wasn't easy to lift off of the ground. "Look" said Cemetery. That attack only cost me 2hp. Do that 700 more times and maybe you will have a prayer!"

"Go back" said Kindle to Iris. "If he hits you we're done for." Kindle needed to use a skill with his wand, but needed an opportunity to do so. Cemetery began his charging pattern again. Kindle dropped and tried to trip him, but Cemetery jumped over the waveblade and spun around, kicking Kindle in the head numerous times. "I need time to power up a heal spell" said Iris. "Hold him off." Kindle had finally gotten used to his game body and its' nimble potential. Cemetery ran up to Kindle but didn't slash. He held his sword high and was planning to smash it on to Kindle ending it right there. Kindle jumped to the side as quickly as possible, but the sword nipped his calf and sent a surge of pain throughout his entire body. Cemetery took no time in trying it again. But this time Kindle slid himself between Cemetery's legs and Cemetery stuck his sword right in to the ground. This was the chance. Kindle stuck his waveblade in to the ground also, and with two leaps he jumped from it to Cemetery's shoulders, grabbing the waveblade on the way up. With all of the force he could muster, Kindle stuck his blade in to the center of Cemetery's armor, piercing it. He pulled it out and jumped to the ground. Iris looked on in awe. This kid had a natural talent that a level 99 player couldn't compete with. "Yo.uuu.y..ou little piece of s..s.. *cough* Cemetery coughed up blood. Kindle knew it was virtual, but felt bad in the same. However, he could be in the same state if he didn't take action. Aiming his wand right at Cemetery's face, he focused on his fire attack and directly shot it out with more force than he ever had done before. The flames spread quickly all over Cemetery's body. "He isn't in any pain, right?" said Kindle, upset at what he had done. "It isn't bad, just like a pinch in real life" said Iris. "Besides, he deserved it." But Cemetery did not seem to be in any sort of pain whatsoever. In fact, Kindle could see a smile under the dancing fire. "Fire was rising from every part of his body. Kindle could feel the heat and his vision was blurring. "I guess you could say fire is my element. Through intense training, I have complete resistance to fire and have even learned to fight with it." Cemetery growled. Kindle stepped backwards in horror. Cemetery could very well be bluffing but the presence of such an intimidating player, completely on fire, and smiling about it was a little much. "And thanks to you my armor is pierced, so I will have to spend all of my in game money to get it fixed. So now you will receive the most painful game death that your real life body can handle." Kindle wanted to run, but his pride wouldn't let him. This game was different. He could stand up for himself, he could be a hero. Cemetery pressed his sword against his chest, engulfing it in a huge flame. He held it out, provoking Kindle to try and keep fighting. "Hey Iris" said Kindle. "Maybe you could use a guardian angel or whatever to beat him"

"You mean a summon? Yeah just hold him off" Truthfully, Iris only knew weak summons that couldn't do much damage, such as Enutpen, her water one. Water was the strongest thing at this point against Cemetery, considering that he was on fire. But it surely wouldn't dent Cemetery's massive hp..

Kindle knew that he had to bide his time now, no attack could connect with him or he would lose this. Cemetery began the familiar charging towards Kindle and he jumped to the side in time. But now, Cemetery turned right around and swiped his sword down upon Kindle. Kindle frantically grabbed his waveblade and blocked the sword from making contact with his chest. Cemetery was physically stronger than him and pushed the waveblade so it lied horizontally on his chest. Kindle gasped for breath. Was he breathing in real life? It didn't seem like it. Cemetery pushed harder. "Iris!!!! Help!" Kindle screamed with every ounce of breath he had left. Iris readied her Enutpen, but got a better idea. She witnessed how Kindle had used an insanely strong fire attack without actually having the skill known. She decided to try and transfer her energy to Kindle and hopefully have him perform the summon for her. "Kindle!" Iris frantically screamed. "I am going to send an attack to your waveblade. Just do your best to let it out!" Iris realized that this dumb idea probably wouldn't work, and could even kill Kindle. But she knew it was their last hope. Cemetery heard this and pushed a lot harder on the waveblade, scared that something was going to happen. Kindle started to lose sanity, and almost blacked out. He saw Quall's body being lost forever; he saw Cemetery beating on Iris. He saw Vivel getting harassed. And he saw Senuke.. The upgrade matter! Now was as good of a time as any to get it. Kindle grabbed in to his pocket with one hand, until he found the shard that Senuke had presented him with. He sloppily smacked it on his staff, and then the waveblade began to glow. Cemetery was repelled and sent backwards. Kindle jumped up and breathed in the fresh air that was now so precious to him. He looked on at a confused Cemetery. Suddenly the words appeared over Kindle's head "Waveblade upgraded to mage masher!" The staff of Kindle's waveblade grew a lot longer, and the blade folded in to the staff. Now it was like a switchblade, but could double as a wand. Cemetery was angered, but not scared. "You really want me to hurt you, well I'm gonna rip you apart!" Just at that moment Kindle felt a splash of energy come over his mage masher. It wasn't just anything though, it was the effects of Iris's summon. This was the same feeling Kindle felt when he first used his fire attack, but this was more intense. It was almost like data drain, except he had a better sense of control. "Use your weapon to fire!" shouted Iris. Kindle didn't think about how his weapon had just upgraded. He didn't think about Cemetery charging straight at him with a look of blood thirst in his eyes. He solely concentrated on the attack he was using. He felt the sensation move through his wand, but this time it actually felt alive. Suddenly he reached the unleashing point. Cemetery was just inches away from him. "Neptune!" A surge of water roared out of the mage masher, taking Cemetery up with it. Kindle ducked for cover, and looked up. The swirling attack was going up straight from the mage masher. Kindle cautiously picked it up. He gained confidence again, and realized that he could control the typhoon of water. He brought it all crashing down, bringing Cemetery with it. He slammed hard on to the ground. Kindle now felt fit to release the water. It all formed above Cemetery's head and started to merge in to a godlike warrior. Made completely of water, it had 6 wings and was holding two swords. Cemetery looked up in total fear, and then looked at Kindle with a pleading look in his cold eyes. No matter how mean Cemetery was, Kindle could not continue the attack. "Don't do it!" shouted Kindle. "Return, go away, go back to rest, whatever! Just stop!!"

Soon enough all of the water evaporated in to thin air. Cemetery was still in shock. Kindle turned around and saw Iris cowering in fear. He felt really bad about scaring everyone. Cemetery realized that the danger was gone. He casually got up and approached Kindle. He was no longer on fire, but soaking wet and shivering. He punched Kindle in the stomach, and gated out. Kindle winced and felt a ringing in his pocket. Cemetery had given Kindle his member address.
