AN: Sorry about last chapter. That was the first story I have wrote that hasn't had a limit. I promise that this 1 will be a lot longer. I'm also going to take some character ideas for chapters 3-5 so send them in .. Disclaimer: I do not own .Hack or anything that has to do with .Hack but the characters you don't find in the game. I only own the following: Slimmy, John, Jusitin(Ivins), Phan, Frostfury(Diane), and Niki.

Chapter 2: Meet the Traitor.

While they waited for John to show up, Justin taught Diane some basic moves such as swinging her sword and putting the sword in defense mode. 15 minutes passed until John showed up. "Sorry I'm late Justin. I got caught up with an old friend." "Oh its alright John. I was just teaching Frostfury here some basic moves. This is the person I told u I play FFXI with." "Oh so I finally get to meet him eh? Well he looks pretty strong for a noobie. You sure he never played "The World" before, Ivins?" "Well I am pretty much. She never played a computer game before." "WHAT?" "Yup, never played a comp game."

While the 2 friends chatted Diane took time to study John's outfit. He wore a red bandana over his golden blonde hair, a black t-shirt with a brown jacket, and red pants with strange gold symbols on them(like Kite's). Justin's outfit was the same except he had black pants with no symbols over them and had dirty blonde hair.

"Well John are we ready to take her to the noobie field?" "Yah lets go." They walked up to the spinning Chaos Gate and said the words "Bursting Passed Over Aqua Field". 1 second later all 3 of them were surrounded in gold rings and were transported to the new area. Diane gazed at the beauty of the field and unknowingly walked right up to a magic portal. 2 goblins appeared and Diane screamed and ran behind Justin. "Come on Diane I know your tougher then this. Own those excuses for living virtual creatures." Diane ran at the goblins with her sword ready to strike and had a gaze of pure acid. With 15 strikes she killed both of the goblins and asked Justin if she could kill more. They cleaned out 3 more magic portals until it happened. As they were going to the 4th portal a Red Wyrm appeared.

"WHAT? THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THIS FIELD! THAT IS A LVL 14 MONSTER!" John yelled. They all ran back to the area of the first magic portal with the wyrm on their tail. It took 1 swipe and put all 3 of them in the red zone of their HP. "Diane, Run. Run now. I will hold it off" said Justin. Diane stood their open mouthed as the monster took another swipe at Justin. "NO JUSTIN YOU COME WITH ME" Diane yelled. "NO I CAN'T! THIS IS A DATA BUG! IT WILL PUT THE PEOPLE IT KILLS IN A COMA! I CAN'T LET THAT HAPPEN TO YOU!". It didn't matter how hard she tried, Justin just wouldn't come. Suddenly she saw a dragon in the corner of her eye. It was a golden dragon with flame red eyes. "No.. I will not let it kill you Justin" she said. She remembered Justin saying something on FFXI about a young man who saw a dragon just like hers in the side of his screen and had a special skill called Data Drain. All he had to do was point his weapon at the monster and yell "DATA DRAIN" to make it activate. She was out of options and had to try it. She took her weapon and pointed it right at the monsters head and yelled at the top of her lungs "DATA DRAIN!" Then it happened. Hehe cliffie. To bad.
