Tsukasa had used a sprite ocarina many hours before and sat on the edge nearest to the Chaos Gate in Carmina Gadelica, but since he was actually in "The World" instead a just playing it, he couldn't tell. Mimiru had given up looking for Tsukasa about an hour ago but Subaru was still looking for him. She'd been to the spots that Tsukasa normally hangs out but he wasn't there. Then she came to Carmina Gadelica to ask if anyone had seen him. She asked a boy named Tim the question and he told her, "Yeah, I've seen him. All of us expect this one weird girl have been avoiding him." She thanked him and looked around. She saw Tsukasa almost immediately staring out into nothingness while the girl Tim talked about right behind him. Subaru went quickly to Tsukasa's side.

"Where have you been!? I've been looking for you for hours!" Subaru said.

"He won't speak. I've been trying for a while." Said the girl. She was Wavemaster. She has the jester's wand, which meant that she had a very powerful magic attack and she wore a black gown. Subaru didn't think that someone could customize their image that way but apparently they could. It still was most unusual for someone in the world.

Subaru ignored what she said and sat down next to Tsukasa. "Come on, Tsukasa. It's me Subaru." But Tsukasa still wouldn't respond.

Tsukasa was deep in thought. 'Do not worry, my daughter. I will not hurt him but he must be punished!' What's that supposed to mean? How will he be punished and not be hurt? Was he going to be grounded? Tsukasa laughed in his mind. The world didn't have a place anymore that you could keep a player there. The last one that existed was the one that the Crimson Knights had but since they had disbanded he figured that the rooms didn't exist anymore either. After that he decided that he would stop thinking about it and deal with it when it came. He got up then and realized that Subaru was there with him.

"Oh I'm sorry Subaru. I was just thinking about something." Said Tsukasa.

"Is it something you think that I should know about?" asked a worried Subaru.

"No, It's stupid." Said Tsukasa but he was worried too. Maybe he would talk with Bear or Mimiru about this but he couldn't burden Subaru with it, "Is this a friend of yours?" Tsukasa pointed to the Wavemaster in the black gown.

"No, actually she was here with you when I got here." Subaru turned to the girl. "Who are you?"

She replied in a mystical voice, not her normal one. "It's of no importance to you." She turned around and left.

"She was certainly weird." Tsukasa said, stating the obvious.

"Yeah, for sure." She immediately changed the subject. "It's been a couple hours since you left from the meeting. Are you sure that you won't change your mind about taking us to the place where only your powers can take us?" Subaru asked in her polite manner.

"No, I do want to take you there it's just I don't want anything bad to happen to anyone, especially you.' Tsukasa said.

"Aww, that's sweet Tsukasa but we do need to go there right?" Subaru said.

"Yeah, I know. But." Tsukasa lingered on the word.

"But nothing! Something bad may happen but we know that something bad might happen but all of us want to do it anyway. We want to stop everything that's been happening. The invincible monsters, this being that's trying to control you, the girl Aura that's been centered in all of this. If we don't "The World" just might get worse and." Subaru trailed off too.

"And what? That more people will end up like me? Stuck in "The World"? Tsukasa said harshly.

"Yes, more people will end up stuck in "The World" like you." Subaru said in a sad voice. "The system admin. won't do anything about it because they say, "It's not happening."

"So we're the ones who have to do it?" Tsukasa stuck into the conversation.

"No, we're not the ones who have to do it. YOU are the one who has to do it because of your powers. The others and I are just here to help you." Subaru said.

"That makes me feel a lot better. I am the one who has to it." Tsukasa sighed. "Being me is so much harder then it looks."

"I can hardly imagine." Subaru said with a smile on her face.

Tsukasa smiled back. It's something that happens so little that I didn't think that those muscles worked anymore.

Subaru gave Tsukasa a kiss on the cheek. "Well, you think about it. Tell the others and I tomorrow. We have another meeting planned nut this time, Helba should be there." She yawned. "I need some sleep. See ya tomorrow." And she logged out.

************************************************************************

As Tsukasa was walking through Carmina Gadelica he got a flash mail "Join my party!" from Subaru. He sent one back saying "Sure! Okay!" and when he did he was immediately transported to Dun Loireag where Crim, Subaru, Mimiru, Bear, BT and a woman who he'd never seen before dressed in white.

"Who's that?" Tsukasa asked.

Bear pointed to the woman. "This is." He paused for a second for dramatic effect. "Helba."

"So this is Helba huh? She doesn't look all that to me Bear. You sure you aren't losing it?" Tsukasa said rudely.

"Looks can be deceiving, Tsukasa. If I didn't know better, who would think that a little boy like you would be the great Tsukasa. Wielder of the monster who defeated Silver Knight. Anyway, we brought you here for one reason. Are you going to take us to the place where only your powers can take us?" Helba said abruptly. Apparently, Helba was not one to dance around someone to get what she wanted.

"Yes, I will." Tsukasa said and he nodded hard.

"Are you sure?" Subaru asked nervously.

"Yes, I am. If anything will be done. I will need to do something." Tsukasa said positively.

"Looks like this boy isn't as stupid as previously thought." Helba said and she smiled.

"Now. Who's in whose party?" Inquired Tsukasa.

"You, Subaru and Crim are in one party and Me, Bear and Helba are in another." Mimiru explained to Tsukasa.

"What about BT?" Tsukasa asked.

"I'm not going. I have other things to do things to do then chase around a sleeping girl." Said BT and she used the Chaos Gate to go somewhere.

"Well, I'm ready." Crim said.

"The fastest way to go there is in C.G. It's pretty tough though."

"What's C.G." Mimiru asked.

"Carmina Gadelica. The author guy is getting lazy so it's C.G. and Dun Loireag is D.L. do we get the point?" Tsukasa explained.

"So would Mac Anu be M.A." Subaru asked.

"Yeah and the others will also be first letters of each name." Tsukasa finished explaining.

"Author dude lazy." Crim said. Everyone nodded in agreement.

"I'll kill you all if you keep on talking about me like that!" I yelled at them. "Now continue on with the story."

"Yes." They all said.

"The fastest way to go there is in C.G. It's pretty tough though." Tsukasa repeated.

"Well the tougher the better!" Mimiru and Crim exclaimed together and the used the Chaos Gate to transport them to C.G. but it forced the rest of their parties to go with them.

When they got there, Tsukasa spoke to Bear. "Input the keywords, 'Bursting, Solitary, White Devil'."

"What did he say?" asked Mimiru.

"He said, 'Bursting, Salted (Audience: *Laughs* Salted.) White Devil.' I think." Said Bear.

"Salted? I'm pretty sure he didn't say salted." Mimiru said confused.

"Well, I'm not sure." Bear said.

"I think he said, 'Bursting, Solitary, White Devil'." Said Mimiru.

"Nah, it was salted." Said Bear

"Just pick one! It has almost been 5 minutes as it is." Helba finally spoke up in frustration.

"Fine! Salted it is then, Let's just go already!" Mimiru gave in.

Bear entered in the keywords, 'Bursting, Salted, White Devil.' And they went to that field.

Sora, BT and Silver Knight then came into view.

"I told you. Let them do the work for us." Said a giddy Sora and he went to the Chaos Gate, entered the same keywords as Bear and they went to the field too.

Lastly, the girl comes out. "You are all such stupid people. You have no idea what you are getting yourselves into." And she entered the correct keywords, 'Bursting, Solitary, White Devil'." And went out of sight.

************************************************************************ Yes, I know there is no such keyword as salted I just had to think of something and my brain wasn't working. I know this chapter isn't as good as the last but the next one is going to be a WHOLE lot better and longer. Bye for now. Shadow Hiroshi Ronin.
