add detail and all that other stuff in it.

Chapter 2
Connection
Cameron was hooked up to machines the doctors used. He wasn't awake just lying there unconscious. A doctor walked out of the room and looked to the two groups of parents and Linden.
"Will he be alright?" Cameron's mother asked. She was sitting down on a couch as her husband had his arms around her.
The doctor smiled and said, "He'll be just find. He should be awake in the morning."
"Can we see him now?" Linden asked as he leaned against the wall.
"No, it's best if you let him rest for the night," the doctor answered.
"Well, we better head home. Linden has school in the morning and he should get his rest. See ya tomorrow, Roger, Kim," Linden's father said as he waved at them.
"Bye," Roger said waving back as the group began headed out of the hospital.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The moment Linden made it home, he jumped out of the car and had trouble unlocking the door hastily. Once he got through that obstacle, he ran through the door and up the stairs to his room.
He walked over the mess in his room and nearly sprained his ankle as he headed for the computer. He made it there and pushed his white cat off of the chair. He sat down and turned on the computer tapping his foot waiting for it to turn on completely.
When it finally did load up, he double clicked 'The World' shortcut and waited for it to load up. He clicked on his mail and saw letters of gratitude from players he had helped. He smirked at the stupid threats that came from the System Administration.
"If it wasn't for us, there would be viruses for them to try and cover up for making it a very dangerous place for newcomers and veterans," Linden said as he deleted the last letter. He clicked on 'The World' and checked out what was on the message board. His cat jumped to his lap and curled into a ball.
"It seems my dear friend, Balmung of the Azure Sky, made another record that's most likely unbeatable," Linden sighed. The two players had met face to face in combat over a Golden Grunty. I would stress out who won but not at this time. "Nothing here about Kai. Hmm, I'm not going to learn anything if I don't check and see who's on 'The World'." He clicked on the log in button and put on his goggles.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
His character Milo appeared in Dun Loireag. He was a long arm with just one spear. His outfit was dark red with a short sleeve shirt and pants. He walked around and stared at everyone with his jet black eyes. His hair was blond and tied back.
"Who would know where Kai went last?" Milo sighed as he walked around to the back of the grunty farm.
"Looking for information," a voice said from just above.
Milo looked up and said, "Oh, it's just you. What do you want?"
A figure jumped down right beside Milo and looked straight at him. Before he could say a word his outfit changed from the color white to black, his eyes from red to blue, and his hair from gray to green.
"I suppose the only thing that doesn't change are your twin blades," Milo smirked.
"Ha, Ha. I was going to be nice for once and give you information but it seems your attitude has turned me from doing just that," the twin blade said turning his back to Milo.
"HA! A player killer doing a good deed. You've got to be kidding, Malice," Milo smirked.
"FINE! Poor Cameron's fate is to stay in the hospital all because his best friend was an ass to take a player killer seriously," Malice said as he began walking away.
"Well, it is kind of a surprise since the player killer is usually found with the other killers having a grand time slaying others!" Milo yelled. "Why aren't you with Aros or Sora for that matter?"
"Well, it's part of my bargain with my so called leader. I can't kill anyone unless I destroy a virus first and also I haven't seen Sora around and if you don't see one you're surely not going to see the other," Malice said. "Well, I'm off. If you want to help Kai, then go to Delta Noisy Fossil's Walkway. That's where he last went."
"How'd you get this information? It's supposed to be classified," Milo said.
"Well, one of two ways. Either I persuaded a knight with my glorious charm or hacked into the system," Malice said as rings formed around his body.
Milo headed for the Chaos Gate and went to Mac Anu. When he got there, he smiled at the sight. He turned to face the Chaos Gate and was about to type in the warp area when a hand appeared on his shoulder. He turned around and smiled at the sight of the wavemaster and female blademaster.
"Good evening, Milo. Where are you planning to go?" the female blademaster asked with a smile.
"I'm heading to the warp area Kai went to earlier today," Milo answered.
"Why? He said he would clear it of the virus in no time. Did something happen?" the wavemaster asked.
"Umm, no, I'm just going to make sure there aren't anymore problems with that server," Milo lied. It was his top priority to make sure not to send any of his members on a dangerous mission. "Well, I'll see you two at the next meeting."
Milo turned his back to them and typed in the warp area leaving them on the spot. The two looked at each other with worry.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Milo appeared in the wood based area and looked around. It was night for this warp area. He looked behind and saw he was right next to a hill. He heard a strange noise and looked up to see the Mystical Giant wandering through the sky with the aerial fleet.
He looked to his map and saw that he had to go northwest to get to the dungeon. He entered the dungeon and walked through it throwing a Fairy's Orb in the air at each level.
Milo cleared out all the dungeons with ease and looked to the entrance to the last room. All the entrance showed was total darkness.
He sighed and entered the room. The monster ring just rotated around in a circle in the very center of the room. He looked around and saw Kai on the ground in the corner of the room.
"KAI!" Milo yelled taking a step forward and setting the monster ring off.
Milo froze in place and saw the stone yeti just sitting there. It didn't move one bit but Milo knew something was up with it. He quickly pulled out his spear and pointed it directly at it. He then began taking steps toward Kai as slowly as he could.
When he made it to Kai, he took him into his arms and shook him. Nothing. He then put Kai's arm over his shoulder and walked over to the closed exit. Milo pulled out a Sprite Ocarina but it didn't work since the battle was still going on.
Milo laid Kai on the ground and looked out of the door. He tried pulling the gate up but it wouldn't budge. He stopped suddenly when he heard a faint growl. He looked at the spear and saw the reflection of the monster looking straight at him.
He gulped and turned his eyes to Kai. He closed his eyes and whispered, "I'll get you out of here."
Milo opened his eyes and turned around quickly to the stone yeti. He held his spear straight at the yeti as he walked away from the entrance.
He stopped and said, "I take it Kai already tried the program on you and you were strong enough to survive through it. Just great!"
The yeti charged toward him and Milo attacked with everything he had. There was no damage inflicted so he tried casting magic instead. He fell to his knees from exhaustion and watched as the monster slammed him in the face with its fist.
Milo landed firmly against the wall. He groaned from the pain he felt and tried to stand to his feet. The yeti stretched out its hand to him ready to grab him like he did Kai but Milo was able to dodge it.
Milo staggered as fast as he could to the entrance and began banging his fist against it.
"HELP! SOMEONE, HELP US!" Milo yelled as loud as he could. "ANYONE!!!"
A hand appeared wrapped around Milo's waist. It tightened as it held him up in the air.
"AH! ANYONE, PLEASE!!!!!!!" Milo screamed. He punched at the hand trying to force it to let him go but that didn't work.
"Milo, we're coming!" a voice yelled.
Milo looked to the entrance and saw the face of the wavemaster and the female blademaster standing there.
"Move!" a second voice ordered. The two backed away from the door as a heavy axeman appeared. He grabbed the closed gate from the bottom and lifted it up with everything he had. After a minute, the gate opened only slightly. "You two, get in there while I still can hold it up!"
The two nodded and crawled under the gate. Once they were in, the heavy axeman released the gate.
"Milo!" the female blademaster yelled as she got to her feet. She pulled out her sword and attacked the yeti.
"What are you two doing here?" Milo staggered to say. He had given up fighting back the yeti and was just holding on by a thread.
"Malice decided to do a good deed. He came to us and told us that you would need our help. We brought Herculean with us knowing that we might have to get through a gate. What happened to Kai?" the wavemaster asked taking the blademaster into his arms.
"This virus knocked him out of commission. We have to destroy this virus but it didn't work against the regular system," Milo said.
The female blademaster hacked at the yeti as she asked, "Did you try the special program?"
"The special program? What are you talking about?" Milo asked.
"She's talking about a program I came up with," the wavemaster said. "Only I can set it off."
The wavemaster set Kai back down on the ground and stood up. He held his staff tightly in his hand, as a minicomputer appeared in his other. He typed only three words and pressed enter.
The light that escaped from the minicomputer was red. It wrapped around the stone yeti tightly and squeezed it. The stone it was made up began to crumble and Milo was released from its hand.
He fell to the ground and watched as ever piece of data the virus was made up of evaporated into nothingness. All was quiet until the opening of the gate surprised everyone.
Milo looked over to the wavemaster and said, "That's some program you came up with. Now, why will it only work for you?"
The wavemaster blushed and said, "Well, you see I made this program as a present to her."
"Yep, it was our one year anniversary," the female blademaster smiled as she ran over to her wavemaster and hugged him tightly.
The heavy axeman walked in and said, "There they go again. Are you okay, sir?"
"I'll be fine once we get out of here," Milo said as he lifted Kai into arms. He was about to fall back when Herculean caught him.
"Why don't you let me take him?" Herculean said holding out his arms.
"Yeah," Milo said handing over Kai to the heavy axeman. He then lifted up a Sprite Ocarina into the air and disappeared with the rings.
He opened his eyes to find himself outside of the dungeon. The wavemaster and the female blademaster appeared shortly after and then Herculean with Kai.
"Well, I guess I'll see all of you tomorrow or whenever," Milo said taking Kai into his arms.
The wavemaster looked to the female blademaster and said, "Now, you have a good nights sleep. You won't see me tomorrow because I do need to sleep."
"Okay!" she answered hugging him tightly. "You have a good day of school."
"School? At this hour," Milo asked.
"Well, I do live on the other side of the world from all of you," the wavemaster said. "Good bye, my love."
"I love you!" the female blademaster replied.
"Peace!" the wavemaster said with his fingers making the peace sign. Rings formed around him as he gated out.
"Well, I better get going. I can hear my mother calling me from outside of my room," the blademaster said. "Bye!"
The female blademaster disappeared with the rings. The heavy axeman looked to Milo and said, "Well, I guess this is it. The next time something like this happens, please contact us. Bye."
The heavy axeman vanished with the rings leaving Milo alone with Kai. Milo looked to his best friend and said, "Well, I guess that virus is gone. I hope you get to go home tomorrow."
Milo gated out with Kai and logged off. He watched as Kai's data disappeared and gave a smile knowing his friend was going to be okay.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Linden took off his goggles and leaned back in his chair. His cat bore her claws into his lap so she wouldn't slip off and instead made Linden jump to his feet. The cat hissed at him but he only stuck out his tongue at her.
His computer beeped and he looked to it a saw that he got a new letter from Malice. He read it through and ran out of the room forgetting to turn off the computer.
"Dad! Dad! Dad!" Linden yelled as he ran down the stairs.
"What? Calm down, son," his father said.
"Take me to the hospital now. Mom, please have a heart and let me skip school tomorrow. Cameron's awake! Cameron's awake!" Linden yelled.
"Well, for one thing, visiting hours are over and how did you come about this information?" his mother asked.
Linden smiled and answered, ".........A friend."

Well, I finally finished. I have a writer's block on all of my other stories and I'm surprised I got over this one. I hope to come out with a new chapter soon.
