Chibi-Meower: I Return once more to give you more chapters. I am so glad I was able to get the next idea within a day. Please enjoy. And as a note, Tsubasa belongs to a friend of mine who is letting me borrow the character.
.hack/RIPPLES/Phase.1"Voice"
I sat up from the kneeling position to see a wave master character staring down at me. It was a male character, one that looked very similar to the famous Tsukasa. I targeted him to realize his name was Tsubasa.
"Hey How do you do that Emote?" He asked me as I stood up.
I shrugged, as I could not answer in voice form. He looked at me oddly and continued, "Then how'd you do it?" I tried saying "I Don't Know" but nothing came out, and Tsubasa asked yet another question, "What? I can't lip-read!" I was frustrated and annoyed. This character didn't understand the situation and probably wouldn't ever. But he sent me his member address and said "Let me come with you, I want to see an area, but I'm to afraid to go alone." He sent me a party invite, and because I was sure that this might help me win back my voice, I accepted. He called out the Area Name:
(Delta): Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground
We were dropped off at a strange area, one with a chapel. There wasn't any place like this… was this related to the Epitaph? I had not much time to think as Tsubasa rushed to the slightly open doorway. When we went in there I saw her, Aura. But it wasn't her… but a statue. The statue was covered in chains. I looked at the plaque which read:
Skeith
Innus
Magus
Fidchell Gorre
Macha
Tarvos
Corbenik
The text seemed to have been carved recently… but the statue looked twice as old as the carvings… Does that mean that this chapel was as old as the game? Who could have re-written the engravings? Was this world more then a mere game?
Without a warning the ground shook violently and I was lifted up and bound to the position of the statue, only the statue of Aura was not there… I looked up after a few tugs at the binding to see another Phase… Innus. There was nothing I could do but wait for someone… I looked around, Where's Tsubasa? Nobody but Innus and I. But then suddenly, Aura appeared… She Data drained the monster, sending him to an eternal slumber… The binding loosened and I fell to the ground to look up at Aura. She was praying and said, "Phase 1 is complete… You will need these items…" I felt a surge through my body as if I had just been given new powers… I opened to ask her something… This time my voice was back! "Aura what am I supposed to do? I don't know what's going on! Wait! Don't—" Aura disappeared "… go…" I whispered my last words before appearing back in the chapel… this time I smelt something… something sweet and beautiful… I fell a bit dizzy… I fell to the floor sleeping for a while…
"I was to see this through, but how? I don't even know what I am doing here…"
I woke up and sat while yawning. I stretched my arms up and rubbed my closed eyes…
Chibi-Meower: Yay! It's done! Chapter two! Please wish me luck for chapter three… Though I don't have a clue what I'll put in hat one I hope it comes out good! Remember, Tsubasa isn't mine. Ja Ne! -waves-
