Haha.


"Zephie, Shin, over here!" Ayame called as Luffy tried to touch her chest this time. (SLAP!)

"Haha, It was worth it…" Luffy said as he rubbed his red face.

"Luffy… lol you're such a Perv." Commented Shin, with a small smile.

"Whoa, Shin, what happened to you? It's like your data's been damaged or something." Bliss said as she went up closer to see all the wounds.

"Yeah, but if his data's damaged shouldn't he be recovered if he logged out and logged back in?"

"Well, Luffy… If he logs out and logs back in… he'll be dead…" Zephie said sympathetically.

"Uh…"

"Well what Zephie means is that in some way Ragnarok Online is our home…" Ayame tried to explain.

"But isn't this just virtual? Isn't the real world your home?"

"Well, Zephie's step-Father is the inventor of this 'world'. But for some reason, Zephie and some other players in Japan, including us got sucked into this world, so far there are only five of us known. There are lots more, but we don't know them as of yet."

"Can't his data be recovered somehow?"

"Only the creator, Sleeping Angel, the Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) can help, or something of the real world that he took along… with him."

"Like?"

"Like the ReKi, if I lose that sword, I can't recover HP that's been the way I been recovering ever since." Shin muttered under his breath.

"So?"

"The ReKi was stolen…"

"By who?" Zephie asked curiously

"Yeah who?" Everyone asked.

"DarkSide's rogues… also known as the Dark Troopers."

"What? Man you lost to that n00b? How could you! I mean he's weak, wait why would he want that sword anyhow?"

"…"

"Talk n00b"

"…"

"Milady Zephyr, aren't you supposed to mine your words?"

"…"

"I'm not patient, nor am I weak, think of me as a weakling… you should start running before I get angry. I will mine my manners when I want"

"…"

"I understand Milady."

"…"

"SHIN, SPEAK NOW!" Zephie demanded extremely mad

"I have no reasons to speak to the likes of a nomad like you." Shin quietly muttered.

"Wha… FINE! I don't really care. I'm off, if you guys need me I'll be in a small village near the capital of Prontera. Need me… go there… I don't care anymore… about you or anyone else." Zephie stuttered jumping on her PecoPeco and Speeding off.

"WAIT ZEPHIE!" Everyone except Shin yelled.

"What's wrong with you Shin? Why didn't you stop her?" Ayame yelled Momiji and Ayu were just watching as they had just waked up not knowing what has happened.

"…"

"FINE! Let's all split up! We'll be in this Prontera trying to look for Zephie if you need us." Ayame said as the gang started walking away.

"…"


5 months later in a Village near Prontera

"Hey! Misura, try attacking more to the left this time!" An older looking paladin yelled to a young swordswoman-in training.

"Hai! Like this Mistress Zephyr?" The girl yelled dashing at the poring.

"Yes! You got it this time Misura. Congratulation, you finished your training now go ask the professor if you can try out the mission to become a swords-girl or what-ya-ma-call-it."

"MILADY THE VILLAGE IS BEING ATTACK BY ROGUES!" The a royal paladin yelled.

"What? Protect the students, I'll go see. What's happening." Zephie yelled running out into the village.

"Wait, Milady! Kent and I shall come to help you." The paladin and the crusader said getting ready to battle.

"Oh, Eliwood, I'm grateful to have such a helpful paladin like you. Come we shall fight!"

"Milady, Watch Out!" The crusader Kent yelled.

"Haha, spare some money for the poor?" A rogue sneered.

"Money? To the like the likes of you? Be honest, you're no poor villager!" Eliwood answered harshly.

"Ha! You'll regret what you said. Anyhow, we come here in search of the girl. Someone wants her dead. It's a shame if you ask me to see such exquisiteness die today." The rogue laughed

"Nah, I think you'll regret coming into battle alone."

"Alone? Come on out guys, show me your worth and fight!"

"Hah, numbers don't matter, we can take them on can't we Milady?"

"Hai!" Zephie said dashing into battle.

On the other side of the battle..

"Ah it seems that battle has broken out here. You, Lord Knight, aren't you going to help?" A toughed Violet haired assassin's cross asked.

"What arises here is no issue of a traveler like you!" The Knight scuffed.

"I believe I'm going to have to disagree with you. You are trying to kill my friend!"

"What?" The knight began, but was silenced by the anger of the assassin and blade.

All of a sudden, a professor Sage stepped from behind the assassin as she looked at the knight's remains on the grass. She squealed.

"Ew! That's dreadful! I can't stand cruelty!" Then a thief turned up and praise the assassin for her kill with a touch on the behind.

"Excellent!" the stalker was interrupted by a Champion Monk who went up to the assassin

She spoke in a low voice, "I hope you wouldn't pardon to fighting as a first choice..."

"Momiji! I have no time for you to be lecturing me! First, we deal with the rogues! We MUST help Zephie!"

"A handy reason for more fighting it seems... no matter I'll join" Momiji muttered joining the fight. Then the assassin turned to the stalker and Sage.

"Luffy, go and hide with Bliss."

If Luffy's mouth had plunge even an inch lower, he would have been eating dirt. "What! With Bliss..."

"No! I'm going with you! I don't want to go with the perv!" Bliss yelled

"You are not! You'll slow me down!"

"How rude!" Bliss sulked.

"Momiji, Ayu, we take our leave now."

"Yes, Ayame." They answered as they went into battle.

Ayame, assassinating a rogue at a time, was continuing one after another, soon she noticed her friend.

Looking at the fight Zephie shook her head amused, knowing that Ayame was always eager and loved to fight. As she watched Ayame get occupied in the battle, she noticed Xyhro, the man who had led the attack on him, waiting.

"Eliwood, see him? I want you to ride up that hill and finish him off. You can do that can't you?" Zephie said in a kinder voice then normal.

"Yes. Don't judge me that quickly, I can finish him!" Eliwood said with a smile.

"Haha! Then go! Kent and I shall continue fighting here!"


Narrator: The battle from sunrise to dark, soon the battle was over and our heroes were dead beat. Kent had returned to the castle but Eliwood had refused a demand to stay with Zephie until she returned to the academy.


"Stay, O magnificence one! Would thy not favor me with thy name? Or better yet, thy love?" Luffy said to Zephie not know she was the same crusader as before.

"Haha, Where are you from, sir, whom you chat so freely to an stranger?"

"Aw, I am from South Korea..."

"Luffy! Hold your tongue!" Ayame demanded in a serious tone.

Luffy smiled. "Ah, Ayame! Why such brutal expression?"

"If your behavior were more solemn, I wouldn't have to be so brutal!"

"Haha, you guys haven't change at all! Maybe your classes have change but not you." Zephie said snapping out of her strange manners.

"ZEPHIE?" Everyone yelled except for Eliwood and Ayame who had known all along.

"Haha, yes that would me."

"Lady Zephyr, may I asked who these nomads are?" Eliwood asked.

"Nomad? Who are you calling Nomads? I happen to be, Ayame, an assassin's cross." Ayame harshly yelled

"I'm Luffy, a stalker." Luffy said putting a hand on his dagger.

"I'm Momiji, a champion and this Ayu a High-Wizard." Momiji said introducing both her and Ayu/

"And I'm Bliss! Nice to meet you!" Bliss introduced.

"My apologies... It's a pleasure to meet you; my name is Eliwood, a paladin of Lady Zephie"

"Thank you. You, at least, seem honorable enough. Unlike Luffy there."

"Zephie, since we found you will you continue traveling around with us?" Bliss begged Zephie.

"Sure, I'd be glad to come along." Zephie said with a smile.

"If Milady Zephie is going, would it be possible for me to come along" Eliwood ask as if it was his duty.

"Of course! You may come along!" Bliss beamed with a huge blush across her face.

"Um..." Zephie mumbled, as everyone gave her an odd stare.


Narrator: As the night gets shadowy our heroes head back to the academy for a long nights sleep. But what is this? They left Luffy outside?


"Guys? Zephie? Anyone?" Luffy's voice echoed through the night
