I would like to thank everyone for the positive reviews, especially
Fighting Dreamer, who is my girlfriend Love yah babe.
I believe I said I had a surprise in store for Chapter 6. I think...um..well I'm gonna give you a surprise anyway. ON with the fic! :D
Chapter 6: The Red Fury
"Damn it!" Jaed yelled in frustration, firing his fifth fireball spell down the stairs and into the door without much success. The fireball would explode into the door, looking as if it did some damage, but after the dust cleared and the wave master and Kera walked down to examine it, it wasn't scratched one bit.
"What do we do?!" Kera cried, and her voice was full of concern and worry.
"We have to get help. It was obviously a hacker. No one can just destroy a Sprite Ocarina," Jaed said in a calm voice, trying to also calm Kera down.
Jaed admired Kera a brief moment despite the current situation. He couldn't help it. Ever since he met her he had been in love with her. Her eyes, her hair, her lips, her personality, all accounted into Kera, the only girl that was right for him.
"Jaed!" Kera said, and Jaed snapped out of his stupor.
"Sorry. I was trying to think of a way to get him out," He lied, and exhaled deeply, looking at the door.
Kera also looked at the door, concern etched across her expression. Would he be ok? She wondered. She could not help but sense a familiar aura about Katsuhiro. It seemed so familiar, and she was attracted to it.
Meanwhile...inside the room.
Katsuhiro let out a low grunt, raising his sword and catching it on Valmung's. Valmung's sword engulfed Katsuhiro's own in a red aura and wrenched it from his grip. The evil being grabbed it in his free hand and leapt back, using his wings to push Katsuhiro into the wall roughly.
Katsuhiro hit the wall with a loud yell of pain, a small imprint of his body crushing into the stone wall, a trail of blood flowing from his mouth as he fell to his knees. He was even more surprised when he, Katsuya, coughed out blood onto his computer desk, his entire body aching.
Valmung tosses the sword in the air and stabbed his blade into it, and Katsuhiro's sword shattered to pieces.
"It's all pathetic data, but you'll find what I can do is much more real," Valmung said, smirking at Katsuhiro's shocked reaction.
"This has become more than just a game," Valmung said in almost pleased tone.
Katsuhiro slowly got up, rage swelling inside him. Katsuya's fists tightened in the real world. This was personal now.
"You bastard..." Katsuhiro muttered, fists tightening.
Valmung acted as if he didn't hear him, but the evil hacker started walking towards Katsuhiro, his eyes set on the young Heavy Blade like a tiger about to pounce on its prey.
Valmung stopped just out of Katsuhiro's attack range, and said in a cold tone, "Do not hate me Balmung. Hate yourself for what you did. You killed Orca, and there is no getting around it.
"I DID NOT KILL HIM YOU BASTARD!!!" Katsuhiro screamed, his sounds echoing throughout the lair and a long silence ensued.
Katsuhiro, only a split second after saying this, and he suddenly leapt up, swinging his legs backwards and planting them on the wall. He used this split second of defying gravity to propel himself forward and off the wall with his legs. He reared his fist back as he flew at impeccable speeds towards the shocked Valmung. Katsuhiro's fist connected with Valmung's jawline, a deafening crack of his jaw unhinging echoing as the blow sent Valmung skidding roughly across the marble flooring. Katsuhiro skidded a bit as well, landing on the ground roughly with a loud grunt of pain.
The two warriors lie on the ground for only minutes. It seemed like hours to these two, pains searing through both their bodies. Katsuhiro was the first to stand, but his knees buckled beneath him and he could only assume a kneeling position.
Valmung, however, quickly got to his feet, rage apparent in the man's eyes and face. He leapt forward, connecting the strong plated boot into Katsuhiro's ribcage. Katsuhiro yelled in pain, not only feeling one of his floating ribs crack on the game, but in the real world as well. He could barely maintain his sitting position in his seat and his hands shakily tried to remove his terminal, but as his fingers made contact, electricity surged through his body as if lightning struck him.
Katsuya and Katsuhiro screamed in agony, curling up into a ball on the ground as Valmung watched, enjoying every second of the man's torment.
"I told you this has become more than a game my friend. My hack into your system has connected the terminal's wiring to your brain waves. If you feel pain on here, your nerves think this is actually happening to your body and connects to your brain to deliver the painful feeling of whatever you experienced," Valmung explained as if pleased to mock Katsuhiro.
(AN: Yeah kind of like the Matrix .)
Katsuhiro groaned as he forced himself up, much to Valmung's hidden surprise.
"Fool. Why do you stand?" Valmung says in disbelief.
"Like...you said," Katsuhiro managed to grin, pausing a moment to let a sudden surge of pain pass. "This is more than a game. I will fight until I am dead. I will do whatever I can to prove that I am innocent. YOU KILLED JONATHAN!" Katsuhiro said, growling and pointing an accusing finger at Valmung.
Valmung started laughing, his evil laugh causing Katsuhiro to flinch slightly.
"Yes, and it's about time you figured it out. The dark portal you saw was only Orca trying to apologize after you did not respond to his mail. He tracked you down and wanted to apologize in person. I, however, intervened and blinded your sight with a simple illusion hack. I infected Orca's systems, and you sliced him in half. So, now he's dead because of you. And your character Balmung also passed out as well as your real world self, Katsuya. Orca's body lay down next to yours, your sword bathing in his blood," Valmung said, and as the story continued forward Katsuhiro's rage was building up like a volcano.
"You...killed...him," Katsuhiro muttered, fists clenching so tight together his palms started bleeding.
"As I said before, my dear Balmung. You belong to me," Valmung grinned, and suddenly he changed into the real Balmung character design.
Katsuhiro's eyes widened in shock but he was unable to speak.
"Yes, and with this character model. I can make everything look like your fault!" Valmung said, and he chuckled slightly, relishing in Katsuhiro's utter shock.
Valmung twirled his sword, "Now. Say goodbye Katsuhiro. Say goodbye Katsuya!" Valmung yelled and dashed forward, sword raised, wings also flapping to add speed to his take off.
Katsuhiro could only stand there, too weakened to do anything else. This was it. Valmung would kill him right here, and everyone would think the Evil Balmung was back. Hot tears of anger and regret flowed from his eyes.
"I never avenged Jonathan...Forgive me my friend..." Katsuhiro sobbed, and extended both arms outwards, closing his eyes.
"Let death come on swift wings..." Katsuhiro said, looking up at the ceiling as Valmung now reached him, raising his sword to stab it down into Katsuhiro's heart.
End!
What a cliffhanger boy :P! Will Katsuhiro perish under the sword of Valmung? Or will Jaed and Kera find a way to save him? Find out in Chapter 7: Redemption
