Login 7: Mia's Miracle

Mortal: Hi! I bet you're curious about the name of this chapter. I bet you want me to tell you what it's all about. Well... TOUGH LUCK!!!!!!!! HA HA HA!!!

Ryo-oki: [hits Mortal in the head] Be quiet before you ruin the chapter!!!

Mortal: Meanie. It's fun to taunt the readers though, Miss Not-A-Hacker Ryo-oki

I felt like the weird joke. Sorry if it was annoying. That was all I could think of to start it off... Anyway, if this chapter is sad or funnier than the other's, it's cause I'm still feeling the effects of Horse camp... Anyway, more babbling at the end!

Ryo-oki looked at her email. "Who's this? The email address doesn't make sense..." She read it.

It said. 'Log Out of "The World and delete your character. If you don't, we will be forced to delete you.'

"Delete me? Whatever." She deleted the message. She looked at the others. "Spam, spam, spam," she deleted each one as she read the address, "Aura..." She stopped. "AURA?!" She read it. "'Help me... Gifted Twilight Phantom...' What's with this? If this a wild goose chase..." Ryo-oki logged into "The World."

Email: Kite

You may not trust me yet, but, I'm here to help you. As far as I'm concerned, you're a .Hacker, whether you like it or not. Please, if anything's bugging you, tell me, no matter WHAT BlackRose says, got it?

Ryo-oki looked around. She didn't see Mia anywhere.

"Hey! Leave her alone!!!" A Heavy Axmen shouted. Her hair was a silvery color with light blue streaks. Her black pants, black armor, blue shirt, and black wings were soaking wet, like she jumped into the river. Mia was behind her, shivering.

"Why would you care?" The Blade Master shouted back.

"I don't like bullies who shove girls into the river!"

"So?"

"So, you wanna say you're sorry, or will we go to a field and settle this in a fight?"

The Blade Master turned on his heel and ran. "I get back at you!"

Ryo-oki ran up to Mia. "Are you OK?"

"Yeah."

The Heavy Axmen turned. She had a red eye and a silver eye. She had a gray long shirt under the blue T-shirt that was almost hidden by the armor. She had a dark grey belt and a blue choker. She was still dripping with the cold river-water. "She better be OK. I didn't jump into that river to not help her."

"You really didn't have to!"

"I wanted to. I hate bullies, and people who talk too much. That guy was both. What would have made it worse was if he had a bunny. I hate them."

Ryo-oki looked slightly confused. "Bunnies?"

"Them and bright colors."

"What do you like?" Mortal bounced onto the scene, closely followed by PKG.

"Silence, reading, silence, weapons, silence, magic, did I mention silence?"

"I say we kill her!" PKG said happily.

"You killed that Wave Master this morning." Mortal yawned.

"A Player Killer? Let's have a fight!" The axmen said calmly.

"I like to know the name's o those I kill."

"Yamiyuki."

Mortal burst out laughing. "Yamiyuki? What kind of a name is that?"

"The name of the one that'll beat you!"

Mortal glared. "You have spunk. Either you're a courageous fool, or a boring genius. Which would you prefer?"

"How about a courageous genius, unlike a boring fool like you."

"Ouch... That hurt." Mortal tried fake tears. It worked, but Yamiyuki didn't fall for it. He looked up, glared, and logged out.

"Who are you guys?" Yamiyuki turned to us.

"I'm Ryo-oki, and this is Mia."

"You're that girl in my class, right?" Yamiyuki turned to Mia, who was still shivering.

"Who- Who are you?"

"It's me! Yuki Ashihara!"

"No way!"

"Who?" Ryo-oki tilted her head in confusion.

"She's in my class."

"I thought I recognized that character." Yamiyuki smiled. "But... You're in a coma in real life. How can you be here?"

"Long story. Let's go to my base."

After they got to her base, and Mia changed into a Yukada she got for a festival, she explained what had happened.

"I see." Yamiyuki sighed. "So it's all because of this weird treasure chest and some 'Shining Girl' called Aura?"

Ryo-oki nodded. "She gave me this bracelet too."

"I've heard of Aura... I didn't think she handed bracelets out by the dozen."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing. It's just, you say Aura showed up out of nowhere and gave you that bracelet."

Mia broke up the argument. "So... Any news?"

Ryo-oki had just remembered. "Oh yeah! Aura said to go to 'Gifted Twilight Phantom.'"

"I heard about that area..." Yamiyuki sighed. "It's really tough... It's supposed to have monsters that can't die..."

"I can beat those!"

"Yeah. Whatever."

"Let's see... Who should I bring for this adventure?" Ryo-oki said thoughtfully. "We can have up to 6 people..." 'Kite? He could be busy... BlackRose? Maybe... Mia? Yeah! She's always on! Elk? Maybe him too... Ryu? Is he even on right now? Kira? She said if I had any info, so her too... Tai? He's... My backup plan...' She invited Mia and Kira. They both were on. Then, she tried Kite... He wasn't on. BlackRose wasn't either... Ryu came running when he heard the word 'dungeon.'

They went to 'Gifted Twilight Phantom.' It was a barren wasteland. "Where are the monsters? Bring on the monsters!" Ryu called.

Kira shook her head. "Moron. The don't come when they're called you know."

They ran to the bottom level. The Cat Mia looked over her shoulder. "There's a girl following us..." She said.

They all looked. There was a female Long Arm with crimson hair. She had a short pink vest with a crimson tank top that said L337 M3 on it. She had black pants that went down to her ankles too. Her gold eyes sparkled. She was holding up a blade of grass and trying to hide behind, a tough job, considering she was 5'4. She was even talking... "Stalking... Stalking... She has no idea I'm here... None whatsoever..."

"Who are you?" Yamiyuki called.

She dropped down to the ground and started rolling around while singing, "Lobsters! Lobsters! I love my little lobbers!"

"I've heard of her." Ryu sighed. "She's Crimsoncat, CC for short. She's an insane mercenary..."

"That's ME!!!"

Ryo-oki sighed. "Why are you talking about stalking?"

"I'm your stalker!"

"What?!"

Mia sighed. "Maybe you should get a less noticeable character."

"Aw... I made it myself! You like?"

They all stared. "Uh..." Kira stammered. "Why are you stalking Ryo-oki?"

"Because I can!"

"She's tried to prove that she's not insane, but no one believes her..."

Crimsoncat smiled. "Yeah... Sadly. My best friend on 'The World' is my scythe."

Yamiyuki glared. "Bright colors, talks too much, and a hacker. I don't like her."

"I know what's at the bottom of this dungeon!"

Ryo-oki stared open-mouthed. "You do?!"

"Yeah! A special item that can wake one person from a trance. Basically, it'll help little old Mia here."

"Then let's go!" Ryo-oki ran ahead. As they reached the final room, Ryo-oki's bracelet glowed. "What's happening?!"

A strange glow in the middle of the room appeared. Aura smiled. "I see you got the message I sent you."

The bracelet's light shot at Mia. "NO!!!"

Mia vanished.

Ryo-oki looked at where Aura had been, but she was gone. Ryo-oki Gated Out and then logged out.

The phone rang. "Hello?" Ryo-oki answered the phone.

"Ryo-oki! You did it!" Mia cried.

"Mia?!" Ryo-oki burst into tears. "I was afraid I made things worse!"

"Well, I'm going back to school in two days."

"I'll see you then!"

No, this story's not over yet. Anyway, here're the credits (why do I bother?)

Crimsoncat: My friend Kagome! I think she's Kurokagome on Fanfiction.

Yamiyuki: Kira Kanyam is what she said...

Anyway, I had fun at Horse Camp. It was a lot of work though... I probably won't go back next year... Next week I'm going to Myrtle Beach, and then back to school, (boo) so I might not be able to make new chapters right away. Oh! And I got a new computer... That's why it took so long for me to finish this... To my fans, thanks for reading. Well, I have to finish my babbling sometime... Oh, and one more thing: I DON'T NEED CHARACTERS!!! Thank you. Bye!
