Login 4: Beauty and the... Pervert?

OK! I'm not going to have any of the people who requested to be in here yet... Some info was missing I'll try to have them in next time! Anyway, I'll put everything that's needed in the info at the bottom. Oh! And from now on, I'll have an unimportant email or post separating "The World" from real life. Oh! And another thing. I'm not sure if they have EBs in Japan, but that's the country Ryo-oki lives in. I'm American, but I'd love to live in Japan. YAY MANGA!!!!!!!! Well, I'll save the rest of my uncontrollable babbling for the end. Here's the story.

Ryo-oki walked into EB Games. "Um... Can I get some help?"

A boy with brown hair answered. His nametag said Shugo. "Sure. How may I help you?"

"HEY!!! YOU'RE THAT PERVERT FROM 'THE WORLD!!!!!!!!'"

"Huh? Wait... Are you that Ryo-oki girl I saved from-"

Another person walked out of the back. He looked at least 21 years old. He shook his head at Shugo. "I'm sorry Miss. Shugo here's a little... Odd. How may we help you?"

"Yeah. I need a new controller that will last a while if I play 'The World' a lot." She asked this with a smile. 'At least the Manager is nice.' She thought.

"Here. This one will last a while. It lasted Shugo here a year and he plays nonstop after he leaves work."

"Aw... Come on..." Shugo sighed.

"I'll take it then." Ryo-oki pulled out her money.

"That'll be 3,000 yen." (about $30 in American money)

Ryo-oki nodded. She handed him the money.

"By the way, my name's Keiichiro." The manager smiled.

"OK. Bye!"

She ran to her computer. "I gotta try this controller out!"

Email: Mia

Hey! I can email while stuck in the game! Cool! Well, anyway, the reason I emailed was to see if you could fill me in on what's happening in the real world.

"Hey Mia!"

Mia looked around. "We have to find a new meeting place. Every time you come, people stare."

"Hey! What's that?" Ryo-oki pointed to a banner.

"Huh? Oh! It's an event notice!" She started reading it out loud. "Beauty and the Beast... Story comes to life. Come to 'Delta, Dying Eternal White Devil' to see if you're Beauty, or the Beast!"

"Well... Let's go. Worst thing that could happen is we don't get picked for whatever it is and come back."

"No. Worst thing is if I died!" Mia seemed a little annoyed. "If I were to die, I might get erased or die in real life!"

"Sorry. Let's just go. You're too strong to die."

They walked up to the Chaos gate. "Dying Eternal White Devil!" They warped to a cold snow region. The area was a level 4 water area.

"I've been here before. It has some interesting monsters." Mia smiled.

Ryo-oki looked around. "A stage?"
"An event stage! Let's go! The event's about to start!"

"Alright! I'm Reki! The host for today's event!" Called the Wave Master on the stage. "Time to pick our Beauty!" He held his hand up. "This lovely lady is our lovely Beauty!"

Ryo-oki warped onto the stage. "What?! Where- What-"

"You're our lovely Beauty. Tell us a little about yourself." He held the microphone up for Ryo-oki to take.

"I'm-I'm Ryo-oki!" She said nervously. "I'm 13 years old!"

"Now I'll be warping you to the bottom floor of the dungeon."

"WHAT?!"

"You'll be teleported there and wait for one of these players to save you from the dungeon room."

Ryo-oki was teleported to the last floor. The room was covered in nice things. "A RADIO!!!" She dived for it and turned in on. She started singing. "When you walk away, you don't hear me say, 'Pleeeeaaase! Oh baaaby! Don't go!' Simple and clean is the waaaay that you're making me feel tonight. It's haaard to let gooo."

[Meanwhile, back at the stage]

"OK! Now, the winner of this event will be getting a rare, one-of-a-kind Phoenix Armor set!" Reki moved to reveal head gear, armor, gloves, and boots. "The weapon will be customized to the class of the winner. Also, the winner will receive a mystery prize!" He pointed to a box with a question mark on it.

"Rare item!!!" a wave master said happily.

"Mireille!" Shugo cried in shock. "I thought you gated out like the other girls!"

"I can smell the rarity... I want it! I want it!"

Ryu smiled. "Maybe it's a rare Sepheroth figure!" Ryu was ready to run to the dungeon.

"I don't care about the Mystery Item." Balmung said with a nod.

"Maybe it's gold. Man, I hope it is." Shugo frowned. "I'm broke."

Mireille looked pleadingly at Shugo. "If you win, can I have the armor?"

"Yeah, sure. I don't need it."

Reki pointed in the direction of the dungeon. "You need to get to the Treasure Room without using a Fairy's Orb. Our Beauty will wait there. Ready? Set? GO!!!" He warped away, probably to the Treasure Room.

They ran to the entrance. Into the first room. "Great a Three-way split."

"I'm going this way." Shugo went straight.

Ryu turned right. "Straight is the way to go."

Balmung took the left door way. "I remember being in this dungeon. This is the way."

[What happened to Ryu]

"Man... This directions taking forever..." He reached a split. Some people were trying to decide which way to go.

"Well, this ways the right way!"

"No! I sense the lovely Ryo-oki this way." Argued another.

"Hey! It's to the right you know. I remember this dungeon!" Ryu grinned darkly. "I'm certain."

"Alright! Thanks!" They all filed into the room.

"Time to go the right way." Ryu ran through the left doorway. He ran into a wall. "Damn! Dead end!"

[What happened to Balmung]

"Another dead end. I guess the dungeon was changed for the event." He sighed. He went back to the three-way split right before that room. He turned right. "A monster?"

The portal opened and revealed 3 Snip Snaps and 2 Sky Fish. They started to attack.

Balmung quickly sliced them in half. "Way to easy." He ran ahead to the stairs.

[What happened to Shugo]

"Hey! Balmungs right behind me! I guess those 2 passages connected." Shugo ran to the end of the 3rd floor. "This is to easy. There aren't any monsters!"

"No monsters?" Balmung called. "I thought there were supposed to be a portal in every room."

"I haven't run into any. Do the portals reset themselves?"

"They're supposed to."

They ran to the final room.

[Meanwhile, at the finish line]

"How come I muust know, where obsession needs to goooo? How come I muust know, where the passion hides its feeeeling?" Ryo-oki was still singing

Reki was glaring. "That's the 5th time you've sung that song."

"So?"

"It's getting very, VERY annoying."

"Tough luck." The song ended. "Yay!"

A random DJ came on. "Now, it's time for S&S Butterfly!"

"I love this song!"

"Before you start singing, can I give you your prize for being chosen as Beauty?"

"Sure!"

Reki gave her a beautiful white gown. "It's show armor." He explained. "You can wear it for events like festivals and stuff."

Ryo-oki put it on. "It's so pretty!"

Shugo and Balmung burst into the room. "I've won!" They both shouted in unison.

Ryo-oki grabbed Balmung's hand. "I'd rather have it that you won, and not that pervert."

'Now I know why Kite's waiting to let her join the .Hackers.' Balmung mouthed to Shugo. He hoped Ryo-oki hadn't notice.

She didn't. "My hero." She said to Balmung.

"Mine too. She was driving crazy." Reki laughed. A Grunty jumped onto his shoulder. "Looks like we had a photo finish." He looked at the picture. "Shugo, you won!"

"Yes! What's the Mystery Prize?" Shugo grinned.

"You get the Phoenix Armor set, and the Mystery Prize. A kiss from our lovely Beauty."

Silence fell upon Ryo-oki and Shugo. They stared at each other.

"THERE'S NO WAY I'M KISSING THAT PERVERT!" Ryo-oki yelled.

"I don't want to kiss you either!" Shugo yelled at Ryo-oki.

There was a rumble. "What was that?" Ryo-oki cried as she hit the floor.

A monster appeared. It was glowing a horrible green.

"What is that thing?!" Ryo-oki screamed.

"DATA BUG!!!" Shugo cried. He pointed his bracelet at it. "Data DRA-"

The monster hit Shugo with extreme force against the wall. He fell to the floor. "Damn... Paralyzed."

Ryo-oki pulled out her weapon. She was currently a Heavy Blade. "Hiya!" She slashed the monster. "Direct hit! What?"

The monster recovered from her blow. It flung its crab claws at her wildly.

"You need to Data Drain it, you moron!" Shugo called from the spot where he had hit the wall.

Ryo-oki nodded. "Data DRAIN!!!"

There was a flash of light. The monster was now a normal Snip Snap. Ryo-oki slashed in half. "Ha!"

"Reki, get everyone out of this dungeon before we get any other surprises." Balmung commanded.

"Yes Lord Balmung." Reki bowed.

There was another sudden flash. Everyone was back at the Chaos Gate.

"What happened?" Ryo-oki asked.

Mia ran up to her. "You OK? Good. They just closed that area for maintenance."

Ryo-oki nodded. "Hey! I just remembered. My parents are going to hotel tomorrow, so I'll be home alone. We can have a sleep over on 'The World.'"

"Hey! Great idea! I'll wait for you here, alright?"

"Yeah! I gotta Log Out now. See ya tomorrow!"

Ryo-oki put down the headset. "Yeah! I'm gonna have fun tomorrow!"

Sorry I haven't wrote anything for a while. I got to play the PS2 for a while, so I kind of forgot about the Fanfiction. But, something good did happen... I GOT PERFECT ENDING ON KINGDOM HEARTS!!!!! I'm gonna sing the "I Beat Kingdom Hearts" song now. I beat Kingdom Hearts. I beat Kingdom Hearts. I beat Kingdom Hearts. I beat Kingdom Hearts. OK... I'll stop now. I couldn't get on the computer either... That's another reason. Anyway, I'll try to put as many people in the next chapter as possible. If you want to be one of the people, send me a username and character description. (Design, class, personality, etc.) This also includes how they feel about Ryo-oki. You have to tell me if the character's a friend, enemy, or a random person to Ryo-oki. I need people who hate Ryo-oki's guts... Anyway, I gotta get back at my brother's friend for shooting me with a toy gun. Later!
