Thanks for reviewing! New chappy! Unfortunately, I have only three chapters left planned for the series including this one. . Sorry for any inconvenience, but every series has to end eventually. By the way, this time, I have an excuse for a delayed update! I had to go to camp. Well, enjoy.

Termination

The clean halls of the Californian hospital sparkled in the morning light as he walked past the nurse's station. Room 313, third floor. He hadn't been their yet, but his father had told him that that was the room his brother had been checked into.

A nurse smiled and waved at him as he walked to the room. He politely smiled back, but was still upset. Was he alright? Is he still alive? The questions flashed through his head like lightning on a stormy night.

He rounded a sharp left and found his brothers room. Max pushed the door open. To his relief, his brother was fine. Deciding that his brother's best bet to wake up again was to solve the problem in "The World", he turned around and bumped right into a doctor. He had moustache, and wore glasses as black as his hair and eyes.

"Oh, sorry," he whispered.

"That's alright," the doctor replied. It was then that Max saw something sparkle in the sunlight. It was a name tag. Half of his coat was covering it, so all Max could see was:

Corp.

loyee.

The man noticed that Max was staring at the tag, and quickly pulled his coat over the rest of the tag.

"I'll be on my way, now," said the man, and left Max standing in the hall with a puzzled look on his face.

GAME

Tsukazi logged in to the game after getting back from his trip to see his twin.

"Hey, Tsukazi! Over here!"

The voice clanged in Tsukazi's ears, and he turned to see the source to be Ryuoku.

Ryuoku sat in the middle of Dun Loireag with everyone involved in the incident around him. Sharie was still absorbing some news.

"There going to delete "The World"?" Sharie asked, surprised. "CC Corp. is just going to delete an entire game instead of just solving the problem?"

"That does sound like them," Kite said. He had met up with Ryuoku and Sharie when they warped back to Mac Anu. They gathered everyone and met in Dun Loireag. "To delete anything strange, and since this time, it's "The World", their going to have to get rid of their biggest seller in order to keep up their business."

"But if they delete this game," Subaru began, "Then Tsukasa would,"

"Never awaken again," finished Kite. "And neither would you, Kenshi."

"But," started Kenshi, in fear of simply dieing like that. "Isn't there a way to fix this before CC Corp. can remove the game from online?"

"We'll have to try." Ryuoku said. "But we're going to need everyone in order for this to happen." At his words, they all nodded. "Subaru, can you contact Helba and have her get back Destruction server for a while?"

"I'll try," Subaru said.

"Alright," began Ryuoku. "Everyone else, meet back here tomorrow at the same time." They all nodded again, and logged out. Ryuoku was about to do the same, when he received mail from Aura.

A man with shining glasses walks into a dark room. He has matted down hair, and a goatee.

"Sir, project Termination has begun." He whispered.

"Good," says a man in a blue suit. "If everything goes well, the no one will be able to trace this back to the game, and everyone, will just assume that a virus ate "The World". No one will know that the comatose victims were caused by the game."

"But is it really necessary to kill them?" asked the man with glasses.

"If anyone traces this back to his branch of CC Corp., then we're out of business."

"For something only one employee did?"

"Yes. Varuchio's twisted plan, sadly, is working. He'll have the entire world inside his little game soon unless we shut it down."

The man with glasses nodded, and quietly walked out of the room to continue his work. Two comatose victims so far in Japan, and one in California, and who knew how many people were in comas, and just haven't been discovered yet? The man closed the door behind him.

Sender: Aura

Please, you must stop this virus. Time is running out. I have important information about the comatose players. They are in grave danger! Please come to Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground.

Ryuoku read the mail over twice, and then decided that it was better not to waste time. He quickly warped to the designated field.

Bear sat on a bench of the church. Aura had instructed him only recently to come to this field, and so he waited. He heard faint footsteps in the background. He turned around to see a heavyaxemen walking into the building.

"Who are you?" Bear demanded.

"I could ask you the same thing!" said the heavyaxemen defensively.

"Look, I don't know why you are here, but-!"

He was cut off by an echoing voice that surrounded both of them.

"Please, you are not supposed to fight," Aura whispered as she appeared in front of them. "I have called you both here about the coma victims. Bear, he is the one I told you of."

Bear looked over at Ryuoku, and nodded.

"CC Corporation now knows of these victims, and is trying to destroy them."

"What do you mean by that, exactly?" asked Bear.

"They are trying to kill them," she said. Ryuoku stared blankly.

"Bear, you must protect Tsukasa, and Ryuoku, inform Cheetra and Tsukazi to go to their comatose ally."

Ryuoku didn't give it a second thought. He sent mail immediately to Tsukazi and Cheetra. Had he reason to doubt Aura?

"Please, you have very little time left. Defeat Varuchio!" Aura faded into the background, and Bear quickly logged out to go to Tsukasa in the real world. All Ryuoku could do was meet back up with the gang in Dun Loireag in a few hours.

Cheetra had received the mail from Ryuoku, and quickly logged out. She began running down the steps of her house, and threw the front door open. As she ran down the street, many people stared, but she couldn't care less. Kenshi was in trouble, and that was all that mattered.

As she rounded the corner past the Ramen shop, the hospital crawled into her view. She smiled gratefully as she ran into the parking lot when she saw that no one was there, not even a CC Corp. van.

When she finally made it past the sliding glass doors, her glee shattered. There were two men with white coats and two name tags carefully hidden beneath them. Or so they thought, but Cheetra could read one clearly.

CC Corp.

Employee

Max ran into the hospital, and took the steps three at a time. He didn't have time to wait for an elevator to come down to him. As he barged into his brother's room, the man with the moustache raced up behind him.

He could see the full tag now, and whished that he couldn't. The "doctor" didn't look too friendly.

Cheetra pushed pass the CC Corp. workers and they began to charge after her. She had to pull ahead somehow. They were too close for her to work right now. Then an idea flashed into her head.

She ran ahead a few feet, until a door was on both sides of her. She whipped them open, and the two geniuses ran right into them. They faltered a little and Cheetra could pull ahead enough to disappear around a corner.

Then she turned to look behind her, and held up her hands in front of her. Time for those karate lessons to pay off, she thought, and smiled.

Max was cornered in the room. He pushed the guard, and he fell back a little. He called for help, and managed to push the nurse call button before the man regained balance.

He was being held up against the wall of the room by the man. He flipped open a knife.

"They said to destroy all evidence. I guess that means you too." The man whispered, and flashed the knife threateningly. He held it high-

Clunk.

-and then dropped it, as a nurse put down the vase that she had just clubbed him with. Max took a few deep breaths, and smiled as the nurse called for police. His brother was safe.

The employees rounded the corner, and were quickly met by a chop to both of them in the neck. The fell to the ground, unconscious, and Cheetra smiled. Kenshi was safe.

She walked into an open janitor's closet, and pulled out a mop. She quickly swabbed the surrounding area, and placed a sign reading; Caution! Slippery when wet!

She laughed to herself, and then spoke to the unconscious employees. "Looks like you too fell and hit your heads while chasing a 'poor and defenseless little girl'." She laughed again.

Bear sat in front of his door. CC Corp. would show up any minute. He held a handgun in his hands. The door rattled, and he stared. It slowly opened, and he stood up. A CC Corp. employee walked in.

"Leave now!" he demanded and the employee came into view.

"R-right away sir!" he stammered. "Man being held at gun shot twice in one week! I should just quit this job." He walked out, and Bear breathed a sigh of relief that he had gotten an employee who cared more about himself then anything.

Ryu sat at his laptop, as mail flashed under his name. He clicked it open.

Sender: Subaru Subject: Have it.

Alright Ryuoku, I have the server. Only by going through Desperate, Lonely, Wasteland can we get to it though. That way no one else wanders to it. Tell everyone to meet there tomorrow at the meeting. But something troubles me. Aura contacted me, and told me to watch out for phase six. Do you now who Macha is?

Ryuoku stood up in shock. Shock that the cat he talked to was his enemy. But why did he help then? It didn't make any sense at all. Then again, nothing did.
