A/N: Yeah, today is my bday and I have another chap for people to read. I know my story is becoming a little predictable, but I think it's cool. I haven't gotten many reviews lately, but so what? I'll keep writing until I see it fit to stop. Enjoy people.

Chapter 17: Morganna

Jon sat by his fire and waited for Lan, and as he heard someone warp into his field, he thought it was her. He turned and saw Jasmine and at first wondered what she would want so suddenly and then saw Balmung is her arms.

"What the hell are you bringing him here for," he saw she was in no mood to discuss anything, "Fine he can stay here, but don't expect me to look after him while you're gone."

"Thanks Jon, this really helps me out," she said as she brought Balmung near the fire, he was unconcious.

"Why doesn't he just log out," anyone could tell Jon was annoyed that Balmung was there.

"That's because he's probably unconcious in the real world too," she snapped at him. Realizing who she was talking to she was, "Sorry for that, it's just that a lot of things have happened in such a short time."

"Whatever, I'm going to get some sleep, if Lan shows up, could you wake me up?"

She acknowledged him and turned back to Balmung who had started to look better after being cleaned up a bit. She had just snapped when she saw Balmung in his condition, and found out that Lios was the one who had done this to him. The way she just lost control and assualted Lios frightened her, because she could only remember vaguely what happened. She thought of what Balmung and Lios had told her and thought of waking Jon, but decided she would tell him later. Hours passed when Lan entered the field and saw the other three people near the fire. She saw that Jasmine was half asleep and was keeping the fire going while Balmung was still asleep.

"Enigma," Jasmine nudged the heavy blade, "Lina's here. Hey," he turned over so his face was away from her, "GET UP YOU LAZY BUM," she kicked his back which got him up.

"Thanks for the wake up call," he groaned as he rubbed his back, "Hey Lina, finally found some time to play huh," he yawned as he said it.

"I was out shopping, and just passing time," she said cheerfully considering what was around her, "What did you need to see me about?"

He held up his wrist and showed his bracelet to her and let it fade back to the tattoo on it, "This."

"What the hell," both the girls screamed as the saw it happen and checked their own wrists for similar tattoos, but found nothing.

"Wierd huh? Well I guess the bracelet and I are now a part of each other."

"Why would it suddenly do that now though is really strange," Lan grabbed his wrist and stared at it, "Maybe it's cause your stuck in that body."

"That seems resonable but we have way of telling if that's for sure. Kite knows about as much as we do about the bracelet, and we know jack shit about it. Helba and I are not on good terms with each other right now."

At those words Balmung sat straight up, "That evil hacker!!"

"Oh yeah I meant to ask, when did he get here," Lan asked.

"About a few hours ago and he was in really bad shape," Jasmine explained to her.

"And you can thank that to Lios and that bitch," Balmung groaned.

"Why would Lios do that to his own agents though," Lan asked him.

Jasmine explained to her about the battle Jon and Balmung had and why they started the battle in the first place, "It seems that Lios didn't like you failing huh Balmung?"

"Excuse me, who is Lios," Jon was baffled at the person they were talking about, and after telling him who he was, "So that's what you meant by administration is after me. How could one administrator do that to you Balmung?"

"It wasn't just him, Helba was there as well and she did most of the damage. She plans to capture you and what makes you so different from other AIs."

Jon smirked at him, "So you and this Lios guy think I'm some kind of AI that just hangs around in the world, interesting."

A mail chime went off as Jon recieved some mail from Kite saying that he and Blackrose were about to confront Skieth and if he wouldn't mind helping out, "I've got something to do, I'll catch you guys later. DarkAngel, make sure he's gone by the time I get back," he motioned to Balmung as he gated out. He was told to go to Theta Chosen Hopeless Nothingness and meet up with them at the bottom of the dungeon and as he got there he saw the two players a little weary.

"So you ready," Blackrose asked the swordman.

"Ready as I'll ever be," Jon pulled his sword off his back and got set to attack, "Kite, you take lead," he allowed the twin blade to take command.

They walked around the last floor and destroying the few enemies that were around. They got to the a large square room and saw the purple haze which normally signaled a large boss was in the next room. They all made last minute preperations and completely healed up so that they would be ready for anything Skieth could throw at them, minus data drain of course. Kite had masterblades equipped, while Blackrose had a Sakabatou. Jon shouldered his Tidal Sword and Blackrose growled at him, being that he had beat her to get that sword. They all proceeeded inside to find themselves on a barren chunk of rock that all too familiar to them all. Aura had come to them and before they knew it so was Skieth, in pursuit. They both floated in the air and out of their reaches, and Skieth held out his hand as his bracelet flickered into existance. Kite and Jon both wanted to stop what was about to happen but both knew they didn't have to power to reach them, and Skieth attacked Aura with data drain causing her data to be broken and scattered to the sky. After Skieth had finished dealing with Aura, he turned his attention to his visitors. He caught a glimpse of Jon and seemed surprised that the heavy blade had been there. He then teleported to them and and slammed his wand into the ground right in front of them. The resulting shockwave blew them all off their feet and damaged each of them heavily. As they rose to thier feet Skieth had pulled back his wand and readied to strike Kite. As the wand came down, Jon stepped in front of Kite and blocked the attack with his sword. Kite took the chance to heal everyone with healing drinks and Blackrose to start hacking at Skieth's back. The beast ultimately overpowered Jon and crushed him into the ground. He got back up slowly and felt his legs give out on him, then noticed that Skieth had wond up for another wand blow. He held his sword as a shield and was blown back to the edge of the platform they were on. He poured a healing potion on himself and rushed back to Skieth and called Blackrose to attack him with an attack skill. They both charged their swords.

RUE DIVIDER
GAN DRIVE

The attacks hit Skieth on oppisite sides and caused the monster to fall down for a moment and yell out forcing both the heavy blades away from him. Kite caught Blackrose and healed her and tossed a healing drink at Jon and caused his blades to become enveloped in flames.

TWIN DRAGONS

The twin blade seemed to nimbly dodge every attempt Skieth made to hit him during the attack as he slashed continuasly at the horned beast. As he yelled at everyone to attack with skills Blackrose used her Gan Smash while Jon used his own Smash but of the Rue varity. Kite attacked with his Thunder Dance attack and caused Skieth to stagger back as the three warriors got back into formation. They charged him again, but Skieth attacked with OrRue Rom causing Blackrose to die and leaving Kite heavily injured while leaving the other heavy blade feeling refreshed. Kite revived his friend and recharged her lost SP while Jon kept the stone monster busy. Kite told Blackrose to strengthen Jon but the only thing she had was Ap Vaks and helped defend Jon against any kind of fire attack. Skieth then drilled the top point of his wand into Jon's stomach and lifted him into the air. The wand began to glow red and it was set ablaze. Jon felt his insides were being melted away, and passed out from the pain. Skieth then swung his wand, throwning Jon's seemingly lifeless body toward Kite and Blackrose.

"What the hell was that," Blackrose frozen in horror at what had happened to him and went to inspect him while Kite fought off Skieth. She sat him up only to feel his entire body was cold. She felt like she was holding ice instead of a person in her hands as she poured a healing potion over his wound, "Enigma, wake up you idiot we're not done yet, you bastard," she heard Kite scream as Skieth slashed him with his other hand and killing the twin blade, "Come on I can't take him alone."

His eyes snapped open and quickly rose to his feet with sword in hand, "Go heal Kite," he tossed her a revive and charged at Skieth again only to be blown back by another shockwave caused by the wand. Blackrose finished healing Kite and they all huddled together again. Skieth roared as a thin green barrier around him appeared and then shattered like glass. Jon and Kite knew that that Skieth was know in PROTECT BREAK and they could now weaken it. Before either of them had the chance Skieth raised his weaponless hand and the bracelet appeared on his wrist. Kite was about to rush forward and use his bracelet on the monster but Jon held him back, "Let me handle this," as he stepped in front of the twin blade and brushed his hand against his wrist and the bracelet came to life. Both active bracelets streched out glowed brightly, "Kite, if I don't make it out of this, tell Sakura that I'm gone and then get this bastard for me!! DATA DRAIN!" Both bracelets fired data at each other and the attacks collided causing everything to stop except Jon who was suddenly engulfed by a white light. As his eyes focused, he saw he was in an endless white room.

"Who are you to have the power that only I contain," the voice of a woman echoed around him.

"I'm a player of the world and who the hell are you and what's going on," Jon fired back while looking to see where the voice came from.

"I'm the mother of this world I sensed my power being used twice at the same time so I intervened," the voice was calm and soothing.

"Well whatever you did send me back so I can finish off that monstrousity."

"I shall let you leave only under one condition," a figure of appeared in front of him. It was a human like figure with the model of a heavy axewoman dressed like Lan but with a blue dress and blue hair, "DEFEAT ME!!," Jon now could now lock onto the player and saw the character's name was Morganna.
