Thanks for the reviews! Sorry I took so long, but I've been a little busy
lately.

"Can you believe it?" asked a very enraged Dain.
"No," his brother Tsukazi said flatly. It was a change in things, really. It was usually him that something like this would happen to. Now that it happened to his brother, mister 'No Body's Gonna Get Me!' , had finally gotten jumped, it was a little funny.
"I mean, what kind of scum steals peoples hard earned money?" he demanded.
"Did he...,"
"Did he what? Don't stop in the middle of a sentence, then no one will hear your ideas! Speak your mind, and stand up for yourself!" Dain told him.
Just another one of your lessons, eh bro? he thought.
"Did he leave his member address?"
"Why? Do you want to know who he is? Are you in cahoots with a criminal organization? Are ya? Are ya? Huh?" demanded Dain in stinging curiosity.
"No! Don't get so mad! I just wanted to know if he left his member address behind or not."
"I'll check...!"
"What?"
"That little scum bucket! He did!"
"Well, what's the name?"
"Zep? Zeep? How in the hell am I supposed to pronounce it?"
"Zeph? The infamous money stealer?"
"You know him?!!?"
"No! He's just wanted really bad! If we could turn him in, then we'd get an award!"
"An award?"
"Yah! It could be anything from rare items, to money, invincible armor, or maybe even free exp.!"
Dain's mouth watered at the mention of free experience points. He was practically dragging his brother to the field where he met him.
They ran to the gate, and the highland city of Dun Looirag disappeared behind them.
* * *
Ryuoku met Sharie in the center of Mac Anu.
"So," she started, "Are you ready to meet that girl I told you about?"
"Sure," he stated. They started walking to the gate, when he stopped in surprise. From the look on Sharie's face, she got it too.
It was a mail from CC Corp. It read;
Attention all players. Be on the lookout for a dark haired girl! She is reported dangerous and carrying a very illegal virus that might scramble your data.
= = = = = = = = = =Signed= = = = = = =
= = = =CC Corp. Management=
"Could it be her?" asked Ryuoku.
"She did have black hair...!" Sharie told him.
"We have got to go now!"
They ran over to the gate of the city, and warped to the field.
* * *
"'Dear Subaru. Please inform the following players of the current situation of Tsukasa and yourself via flash mail. Please do this with haste, for there is not much time left before the virus strikes again. Tsukazi, Dain, Cheetra, and Kenshi. Please include in the mail the key words lost deep forest, and tell them I'll meet them all right where they gates in. Thanks in advance, Ryuoku."
Subaru read the mail again, and made sure it said what she thought it did. She quickly did as she was told, and then did something that Ryuoku forgot to warn against. She went to the forest herself.
* * *
"Hey, Ryuoku, what are ya waiting for?" asked Sharie. The forest they were in gave her the creeps, and she couldn't wait to finish what they were doing there.
"The others." he said flatly.
"The...others?" she asked, completely confused.
* * *
"Are you sure he's here?" asked Tsukazi.
"Just wait," said Dain. I know you're here. Now show yourself! he thought.
"Shl-oing!"
"It starts." Dain said.
"Wha?!" Tsukazi looked up, and gasped as he saw a figure jumping from mushroom to mushroom. "It's just not...not possible! He's a Heavyblade! They can't jump like that!"
"His sword," said his brother, "Take it from him!"
"HIIIII!" cried Zeph as he fell from a rock and landed within inches to Dain.
They were automatically locked in fight. Zeph had the upper edge, and was obviously stronger.
"Hit-him-with-Rai-Rom!" choked his brother.
"O-okay! Rai-! NOOOOO!" Tsukazi looked up, and saw the blue mass. The same one that surprised him in the dungeon adventure he had with Ryuoku. "Bro! Look out!"
Zeph took better notice then his Dain, as he leaped out of the way just in time. But-
"DAAAAIN!!!" cried his brother, as virus poured itself over Dain.
He glowed blue, and screamed. A scream that his brother heard right next to him. In the real world.
Dain in the game slowly disappeared. gone from "The World" forever.
Tsukazi heard a crash in the real world.
**REAL WORLD**
"Bro! No! Come on! Get up!"
There was only silence.
"Come on! Please! Hit me! Tease me!"
Again only silence.
Tsukazi put his hand up to his brother's nose, and noticed that he wasn't breathing. He felt for a pulse-
"What are you doing you little scum! You killed your brother! you worthless scum!"
Tsukazi had all he could take of this. "Dad! Ever since mom died, you have been wrong in everything you've ever done to me! Ignoring birthdays, giving Dain everything he ever wanted while I had to buy my own food and mini stove!"
"Max I..."
"Shove it old man! Right now Dain is in critical condition and might, no, will die if you don't call an ambulance! Now, You take care of this, I need to settle a score!"
"What, in a game!?!?"
Max glared at him. "It's necessary! You wasting time by not calling an ambulance isn't!"
**GAME**
"Mail," said Tsukazi. In frenzy, he clicked it open. "So that's why...!"
He ran to the gate, and warped to the field where Subaru had mentioned.
* * *
"I knew you'd show up, Tsukazi!" said Ryuoku, "Now that we're all here,"
"No, now we are all here!" exclaimed a voice the Ryuoku knew shouldn't have shown up.
"Subaru! Why are you here?" asked Sharie.
"I'm here... to save Tsukasa!"
"Ugh. Well, let's go."
* * *
The girl knelt by a river. Sharie said that she hadn't moved.
"Is that her?" asked Ryuoku.
"Yea," she responded absently.
"Who are you?"
Sharie gasped. It was the girl who had talked.
"Ryuoku," he announced, "And this is Cheetra, Sharie, Kenshi, Tsukazi, Subaru, and Da-!"
He turned around and counted. One short. Dain wasn't there.
"Where's Dain!?" he demanded.
Tsukazi stared at his feet. "The virus..."
"It only put him in a coma. We can save him!" said Ryuoku.
"Ryuoku," he started, "He had no pulse!"
Everyone gasped. Some stared in horror at nothing. Each even had something they blurted out.
"The virus... even leaked out of his mouth in the real world!" cried Tsukazi.
"Virus." said the girl. She had tangled black hair, and black, cold eyes. She wore rags of a sleeveless dress, and had strange bracelets on each wrist. Each had a strange cloth with Japanese inscriptions in them.
"What?" asked Ryuoku.
"The virus was created by a man named Varuchio Zespugo. He lives in Japan and works for CC Corp. I can't...remember anymore." The Girl obviously knew a lot. But before Ryuoku could ask her how, the ground below him disappeared, and he was falling.
"What is this!?" he screamed as he fell. It was as if he actually was falling. He remembered what Kenshi said about feeling. "Everyone log out!"
"I can't even shut down my computer!" cried Cheetra.
He didn't even listen to what the rest said. He knew the answer. He tried to reach for his computer, and grabbed air. He tried to pull off the game goggles he wore, and poked himself in the eye. He was part of the world now, as were the others. He couldn't log out here, and neither could the rest. They were trapped.
