"DATA DRAIN!"
Now facing the barrel of death, I heard someone shouting out. Turning in the direction that the voice originated from, I noticed someone firing a beam from his/her large blade; the beams intersected and cancelled out the effects of both beams.
"Who are you?" Sakura asked, her eyes focused on the character. The monster cried out angrily, stomping its feet and prepared another attack.
A dust cloud blew by as the figure face was revealed, giving off a female face with long blonde hair, about to allow her identity to be exposed, and gripped onto the handle of her sword, the blade gigantic to say the least yet seemed too easily lifted by the girl.
"I am...Hikari!" The monster not allowing her to pull her little stunt once again, leapt at her, it's enormous claws slowly wrapping around her body.
"Hikari!" I shouted out as I ran over to help her but suddenly, a large light grew from within the claws of the monster and it blew away.
"Hmph, that all ya got?" The girl smirked, holding out her staff and a large circle appeared where there was a golden orb at the end of the blade of her sword, a large beam was produced.
The energy was launched straight at the monster and it was engulfed by the luminous energy. The monster, now weakened by the force generated by the mysterious Heavy Blade or possibly Blade Master, was vulnerable to an attack. The girl waved her staff once more and multiple blocks of ice came from the sky and hammered down on the monster. The Heavy Blade character, although class is still just speculation at this point, Hikari, turned her sights onto Sakura and myself after dispensing with the monster. She slowly walked towards us, her large sword hung unto her shoulder. As she stood, eye-to-eye to me, she had taken the flat side of the blade of her sword and bonked me on the head.
"You better give up the game now before you really get hurt."
"What happened to Elexis?" Sakura demanded to know, I mean, Elexis was more her friend than mine, but still.
"Most likely...she's either in a coma or died from the stress of being drained."
"What the hell was that? Data drain? This is more than just a game, isn't it?" I ambushed her with questions but she merely shook them off and gated out.
"Damn her!"
"Yamato! Let's hurry and go find Hanako!" "Right."
"Yamato logging out." Sounded a feminine voice as the program turned off and I quickly pulled off the game gear. I took off, grabbing my coat and headed for the door, slipping on my rollerblades and ran out the door.
I roller bladed on the sidewalk, meeting up with Sakura whilst she rode her bike, ahead of me, I just followed her as she was the one who knew where Hanako's house was. We arrived just in time to see the ambulance ride off with her. Sakura rode until she jumped off her bike, running to see Hanako's mother.
"Mrs. Roze! What happened?"
"I-I..." She just began bawling, slowly slinking down. Her hands covered her eyes as tears ran down her face. "S-she just.... she was p-playing that g- game and then all of a s-sudden she...Ah!" She continued crying after that, without so much as a word.
After Mrs. Roze started crying, Sakura and I helped her back into the house, starting to go back to each of our houses though we stopped, before heading home, by our school.
"Wa-was it a coincidence?" Sakura hesitated in asking me this and she began curling a bit of her hair with her finger, a bit of a habit of hers when she got nervous.
"I don't know..." I couldn't really give her an answer; we were both confused about this, not knowing what we should do next. "Maybe we should take Hikari's advice and just give up on playing the game."
There was silence for a while, but Sakura was the first to break the ice, saying, "No...I think we should learn about this some more and we can start by finding Hikari."
"What is there to learn? What would one call this? This isn't even part of the game! Besides, we don't know where to start and she's much stronger than we are." I stated, speaking slightly louder than my normal voice.
"We have to try..."
"You can try and I can not!" With that, I just roller bladed out of there and back home.
I arrived home; everyone else had left for dinner, a twenty-dollar bill on the counter for me to order pizza. I ran upstairs to my room and just lay on my bed. As much as Sakura wanted to do this, we don't know what we're walking into or what was going on in the first place. I just lay there for a while and remembered the next day we had off and then one more day of school before spring break. I lay there, the door wide open and the phone began ringing. It could only be Sakura and I knew that she would try and talk me into it.
"Every time she calls, I always cave into whatever it is she wants, but this time, I won't pick up the phone and thus, will not be manipulated!" I said to myself, sounding kind of stupid as no one was around.
For another twenty seconds, the phone ran. I gazed at the phone, seeing it vibrate from the ringing. Every few seconds it would do so until I could stand it anymore and picked up the phone.
"Fine! I'll do it!"
"Do what?" I could hear the sound of a nagging voice that I knew could only be my mothers.
"N-nothing." I guess it sounded a bit wrong from her perspective, but I could make something up tomorrow.
After talking with my mom for about ten minutes, I hung up on her and walked over to the computer in my room. Hanging right above my computer were posters of many Anime I've watched in the past, well, ones that I liked. I checked my e-mail and had a new one from someone named '#&%!#$!&' though I don't think I know anyone with that name so I just deleted the piece of mail. Five seconds later, another one came from the same person. I scrapped that one too. Another one, five seconds later. I opened it this time to see what the hell was so urgent. It read, "Delta Voluptuous Geothermal Sunny Demon."
"Crap...those are keywords in that game..."
A few seconds of hovering over the icon for The World, the phone rang again. It was probably just my mom again and I just picked up the phone.
"Okay, okay. I'll do the laundry but I don't feel like handling dad's------- " I was interrupted by the person calling.
"STOP!" Shouted Sakura, stopping me before I could finish my sentence.
"Oh, it's you." I remarked rather harshly.
"I wanted to talk to you about this e-mail I got from a...bunch of symbols."
"I got the same one."
"Then let's go!"
"I told you no..."
"Come on! Do it or I'll tell everyone at school that you hit on someone named Mary at the church whom you though was a virgin."
"Fine, fine...Blackmailing bitch..." I muttered under my breath as there was major static on the phone and my ear nearly fell off.
"I heard that!" She said before hanging up.
Yeah, I know, stupid chapter but I couldn't think of anything to write...
