Review! Ya!
KatDrama: Thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to double check. ^_^
Gunshot
Ryuoku stood in an endless black void. A young wavemaster was in some strange capsule. He took a step toward the figure, but stopped as a strange young girl appeared in his path.
"Help him," she said in a strange echoing voice, "Help the one who helped me. The one who helped me awaken."
At this point, a strange cat type creature appeared, floating behind the girl. Half his face was purple; the other was white with a purple star covering the eye. It wore strange clothes, as if something in "The World." He nodded his head as the girl began to speak again.
"Listen to his words. He will help you to help him."
Ryuoku took a step back from the girl, and was greatly confused. The cat nodded again, and knocked on the glass capsule containing the wavemaster. It quickly shattered.
The body fell limp on the floor, and slowly rose to his feet.
"Help me. Please. Lost!" He looked up, and opened his eyes as he finished what he had to say. His eyes were blue, and ones and zeros swam through them.
A teenage boy sat up in bed. Shocked at the dream he had just had, and sweating like crazy. It was noon. He went over to his laptop, and put on "The World" headset. He entered his user name (Ryuoku) and logged in.
**GAME**
"Hey!" cried an oh too energetic voice. "It's me! Sharie!"
She came running up to the Chaos Gate, her purple hair waving wildly. She had on her usual black metal bra, as usual for female heavyblades, and tight black jeans, with two metal thigh plates attached around her waist.
"Did you see the message board?" she asked, and her voice wasn't heard only by Ryuoku. A blademaster, who was walking by, suddenly stopped in his tracks at the words, and walked slightly closer towards the pair.
"There was a field with the virus spotted on it! This PC posted a message about an unbeatable blue monster! Doesn't that meet your virus description?"
"Uh, yah, I guess."
"So.. let's go! The Key words are-!" she was stopped as the wavemaster walked into view, saying exactly what the Key Words were.
"Deep, Green, Maze."
"What? Who the hell are you?" Sharie asked in a slightly pissed off mood. She didn't like being interrupted.
"I'm sorry if I interrupted. I just knew the way there, and thought that I could go there with you two." He had short, flat hair, a black vest coat, deep blue short sleeve shirt, and blue kilt complete with brown boots.
"Uh, why not? We might need some help," pointed out Ryuoku, "But do you know about this virus?"
"Mm-Hm. My friend was infected by it, and know he's in a coma." Said the wavemaster, "Oh, and since we'll be going somewhere, my name's Kenshi."
"Uh, if your sure Ryuoku, then I guess he should come."
"He might prove an advantage when we get there!"
"Yah! I'll be all the help I can!" Kenshi finished the conversation, and they were off.
The field was a forest. It was in the design of a dungeon, yet it was only the field. The path was straight, and led directly to a maze.
"What!?!?" exclaimed Sharie, "I thought this was an RPG! Why is there a maze?"
"I don't really know, but we should hurry, before the virus has a chance to infect a PC, that wouldn't be too pretty," Ryuoku answered. Sharie sighed, and they went into the looming hedge maze.
* * *
"Hey! My HP just went down a little bit!" exclaimed Sharie.
"Yah, there are thorns on the walls, put there just to annoy players." Ryuoku answered, as he lost a little more HP brushing against a bush."
Kenshi accidentally walked into a bush.
"Ow!"
"Did you just say 'ow' Kenshi?" asked Sharie, Startled at the noise.
"Uh, yah, I guess I did," he answered, looking very embarrassed, "I sometimes say that when my character gets hurt,"
"He's a little strange, don't you think?" Sharie whispered to Kenshi.
"I guess," he answered, but then he looked up, and gasped.
In front of them was a giant statue. It looked like a giant dragon, lying curled atop a huge marble rock. It began to speak without moving its mouth.
"Answer my riddle, and you may pass," it said in a deep, booming voice.
"Uh, okay," Ryuoku answered, realizing that he really had no choice
It began to tell the riddle; "The one who makes me, doesn't need me. The one who buys me, wishes he didn't have too. The one who uses me, doesn't know it. What am I?" "What?" asked Sharie, astonished; "Why is there a riddle in a game?"
"I don't really know, but we have to figure it out, or we'll never get to defeat that virus." Ryuoku said.
"Could it be something people don't like?"
"I really don't know.."
"Coffin,"
The voice was so quiet, that Ryuoku barely heard it.
"The answer is coffin. The one who builds it, is living, so doesn't need it. The one who buys it, is full of sorrow that they have to bury their loved one, and the one who uses it is dead, and doesn't know anything." Kenshi explained.
"How did you know that?" asked Sharie, completely bewildered.
"Riddles were one of the few things I'm good at in the real world," he responded.
"Uh, guys?" said Ryuoku.
"What?" they answered in unison.
"The statue is opening," he finished.
The statue in fact was opening, and, on the inside, was a coffin. The coffin slowly opened, and a Vampire Crawler emerged. A level 30 boss.
"Whaaa!" they all screamed, and started to back up.
"Do you guys need some help?" asked a voice from behind them. It was a female heavy axeman.
She ran forward, and locked blades with the beast's long swords. The beast was powerful, but her axe spoke for itself. In a few quick swoops, the beast was done for. She had cut it clean in half.
"Uh, thanks, I guess," said Ryuoku, finally getting a look at the girl. She looked sort of like an axeman, but yet, she had a strange look to her. She had a strapless dress that reached down to mid-thigh. Her high-heeled boots reached up to just above the knee. She had what would be gloves on, but they had no hands. They were just baggy pieces of fabric that reached from elbow, to wrist. Two pointy cat ears stuck out from a short mass of uncontrollably orange frizzy hair.
"My names Cheetra, pleased to meet you!" the girl said. She walked up to Kenshi, and then turned around. She looked back at Ryuoku.
"I could give each of you my member address, want it?"
"Uh, sure," answered Ryuoku.
"Okay," responded Sharie.
"I guess..," said Kenshi.
Behind Cheetra, something blue and strange crawled into the Vampire Crawler. It began to connect the two halves together, and then turned the creature blue. It got up, and pushed Cheetra out of its way.
"Hey! What gives? Why is that thing still alive?" asked Cheetra, recovering from her fall.
"It's infected!" exclaimed Sharie.
"VIRUS DRAIN!" Ryuoku hollered. The yellow strands completely made the creature disappear.
"What.. was that thing?" asked Cheetra, backing up from the scene where the virus monster had been, "And what happened to the field?"
Ryuoku looked at the area where the monster had been drained. It was completely charred to black dust.
"Um, I guess that happens to anything in the way of the drain. I'll have to be careful." Ryuoku said.
"I just don't get it," Cheetra complained.
"It's kind of a strange story," Ryuoku said; "Why don't we gate out and talk about it in town?"
**REAL WORLD**
A woman was running down a sidewalk that was soaked with rain, as was she. She was holding a briefcase with the CC Corp. logo on it over her head as an attempted shield.
"I can't believe I found something like that on a game," she said to herself; "What kind of sick guy would do that to people? Why? I've got to take away Ryu's copy and destroy it when I get home. I won't let it effect him like that other child."
She stopped in her tracks as a dark figure stepped out of an ally.
"It's you..," she said.
"You can not live. Not after what you discovered. My boss' secret can't get out. Not yet."
"What are you talking-!" she stopped talking as the figure pulled out a gun.
"You can not live, not after this."
"Don't add murder to your list of crimes. Just put the gun down."
"No. You've learned too much. Good bye, miss Hiyaki."
The figure pulled the trigger. The woman collapsed on the ground after the gunshot. The figure put the gun away, and walked away.
**END**
Who was that woman? Why was she shot? Later chapters might have the answers, but don't forget to review, and I won't forget to right those later chapters.
