.hack/TWILIGHT SYNDICATE
The city of Mac Anu bustled with excitement; all around players were going about their business. A young Twinblade in red and his companions stand near the chaos gate, discussing the confusing actions of the Cobalt Knights.
"It's easy! They must be after the bracelet! It's the rarest of rare items!" a young wavemaster exclaimed, jumping up excitedly. "Murielle," an older character, a werewolf, responded, "We don't know that for sure... Shugo and Rena may be targets because they look like Kite and Blackrose" the others nodded. "Well anyway, Rena and I are going to a reunion today, so we have to go." Shugo said while smiling. With that the two logged out.
From out of a back alley a pair of figures stepped into the light, one carried a pair of daggers in his belt like a twinblade, the other had the sword of a heavy-blade strapped to her back. However, the rest of their appearance was far from ordinary. The one with the daggers had a pair of teal colored dragon wings wrapped around his shoulders like a cloak, and a dragon's tail twitched behind him. The other had similar features, only of a light pink shade. Ouca smiled, "So the twilight dragon and his mate decide to make an appearance at last? And here you almost had us thinking you might have actually been deleted." The twin blade smirked, "they may not like me, but they aren't dumb enough to suffer Cubia's wrath" Ouca nodded, and flicked her wrist, the staff Ludicrous appearing in her clawed hand "so, where are we going? I haven't used this since I was Tsukasa..." the Heavy-Blade grinned impishly, "The cathedral, Aura has something planned to "convince" the Cobalts to stop attacking her Vagrant AI's" Murielle turned to look at the heavy blade, "Can I come this time? You adults have all the fun!" the twinblade laughed "maybe, ask your mom ad have her call us... now we have to go chaperone those two to that reunion, better log out before the get suspicious..." Ouca nodded and smiled, "Right, I'll get the barriers up, and... Kite, Blackrose... make sure those two don't get into too much trouble..." Kite tipped his head towards her, and logged out, Blackrose fast behind him.
It had been Aura's idea to alter the character data of the two legendary players; drawing on their role as the twilight dragon in of the epitaph she had given them the appearance of half dragons. To protect them against overzealous admins she had tagged both files as part of the game itself and thus protected by Cubia. Now Kite worked from Net Slum to protect the true order of "The World" as the mysterious "Twilight Dragon" leader of the secret order Wiseman had coined, "Guardian's of the Dawn". So it was that it had appeared that Kite and Blackrose had been deleted, when they still played almost every day.
