Chapter8: Confessions of a Hacker

Maxell was enraged. Something about Alaura got to him. She had a way with making him squirm.

"That's Bullshit!" He was looking up at her shaking his fist in anger.


In the back

The six were watching on the edge of their seats! Holding there breaths for the next moment. Maxell to them seemed almost godly. Everyone was still in a whisper trying not to let Maxell know they were there.

" Hey? What you think got the big guy so freaked?" ask Iofiel to Azriel next to her.

He shook his head not knowing exactly what to say. "There's more going on here then what we were lend to believe…"


At the statue

Alaura stood hover off the ground in front of Maxell. She just smiled like nothing was going on.

"You know…You'd be happier if you just left yourself go."

This seemed to fuel Maxell further. " Your nothing more than an abomination! What the hell do you think you are. I know your not Aura. C'mon now think about it." Alaura's reaction was that of shock. It some how hurt her feelings, and so he went with. " Did you feel something? Now you feel? Since when did you care about trivial things like human emotions."

Maxell thought he was getting some leverage, but was quickly corrected.

"Now don't get upset. We all go way back remember? Now tell me. What is it you hope to archive. Is it about…" Alaura seem to trail off. Leaving in her words a lingering mysterious vibe.

Now it seem Maxell was getting taunted, and he wasn't liking it.

"Why should I tell you! All you bring is trouble. I got a better question for you. What are you? You started a several fragments of different data. How could you become an AI, If you could really call you an AI."

Alaura closed her eyes and slowly raised her hand opening them freely. "I know what you want, and we both know what you've done are wrong. Asking for forgiveness? You of all can't repent for your sins, or the one who taught me that."

"Hold it! Yes I did teach you things, but no…I can't understand you. Why did you return to "The World". We found you in that file…Fragmented into three unknown data types. Then out of no where they join creating you. Like a child you had to be taught to do things. In our case think. The only words you could say were: Creation, Destruction and Aura." He shoo k his head.

Alaura started to sway to each side of Maxell. " I repeat…Please? What is it you want?"

Maxell paused for a second. " I want her back…"

Alaura seem confused. "Who are you talking about?"

Maxell was fired up again. " You know exactly who I'm talking about."

Then a look of surprise struck Alaura's already pale face. "You mean….?" Maxell nodded. "I get it…"

Maxell was about to reach out, but was cut short by Alaura's disappearance.

There was a silence that made Maxell stand still for a moment. Then he knelt before the statue and again took his first position.

"Forgive me A-" He stopped when heard the footsteps. Maxell turned around to see the six he had chosen,. "What do you need?"

They all has a look of concern. There was a brief moment of silence before Azriel asked the question on ever bodies minds.

"Hey…Maxell? What was that all about?"

Maxell seemed to feel relieved. " I think there's some things to tell you." There were nods. " Remember that file we Viziers found? There were more to it then just virus data. We did research into the mysterious data. It was remnants of what seemed to be AI data. Two completely different AI data sets. Through more research we determined that they belonged to two AI's. The first was Aura, and the other is still unknown. It all made no sense, but before we could analyze the two…They merged into one with the virus data. A mutation…The ultimate virus…" He took the time to take in what could be viewed as shame.

There were glances around the chamber in silence till the sound of echoing footsteps. They were coming closer. They spun around to see Razor the Captain of the Emerald Knights. Behind him were at least twelve knights behind him.

InuAcosta was the first react. "…Oh…shit…"

Azriel turned to InuAcosta and replied "Damn skippy…"

Razor walked tall and calm all the way to the small group. "Hello!" He seem too cheerful. "As you know we are looking for a person, but while investigating the problem…We found something more interesting." He raised a hand and pointed it towards Maxell. "You. Under the authority granted to me by the CC corporation. I here by place you under arrest and to be deleted effective immediately. Have a nice day." He motioned his knights and the grabbed Maxell who put up no fight or struggle.

The six stood in shambles as the only way they had out of "The World". Now they were stuck for good. The CC corporation had all the reason to delete him, but they still needed there hacker.


Mac Anu CC corporation administrative building

"Ma'am! We have the Hacker Maxell in our custody." The voice came from a white knight that so happed to be a Heavy Axe. The person had the mark of CCcorp.

There were in a room that appeared to be a library with a large desk in front of the only window. On the desk were papers neatly stacked and stamped. There was a large chair with it's back facing the knight.

There came a feminine voice from the chair. " Good…Is that incompetent fool lose that Shadori player again? I swear if my superior wouldn't be happy about deleting another administrator. This would be what? The third?"

"No ma'am you've deleted four thus far." The knight corrected.

The tone of the woman behind the chair became strict. "Are you correcting me? What give you the right to mouth off?"

The knight lost there composure and as fearing for there job. "I'm so sorry ma'am it won't happen again."

"Your right. You won't make that mistake again." There was a slender finger that reached under a the desk.

The sound of unlocking chambers in the room, and arrows streamed out and the knight was deleted.


Mac Anu Two Hours later

Razor was standing near Elf's Heaven as a crowd formed to see the commotion. It turned out that there was to be a public deletion. Maxell was chained on the bridge. He was there dangling. Maxell was looking different. His armor no longer shined a bright shade of gold but now was a dingy gray.

Razor cleared his throat. " We have here a law breaker. This hacker has broken almost every rule we users must abide by. He is to be banned and his character deleted. My superior: The leader of the Amethyst Knights, and the Witch of the Diamond Knight, and I do mean she isn't a nice person, and she organized this whole event."

Razor raised one of his daggers, and tapped on his forearm. He took careful aim as he pointed at Maxell. He closed one eye, and motioned his arm. Carefully Razor adjusted his aim. Then he took a step back and throw his dagger at Maxell.

The dagger was true to its aim and pierced Maxell's chest. Maxell flickered for a brief moment before finally disappearing. Razor snickered at his achievement and took in a deep breath.

"Now. If anyone breaks the rule. We'll just have to delete you." Razor winked at the crowd and spun on his heels before moving on with three knights three feet on either side.

The six had been in the crowd and watched in horror as there only way out had been deleted. Without him they had no way to know anything. Now everything was getting chaotic.


Mac Anu The Next Day

Azriel punched the wall to his right in frustration. "Fuck! I can't believe this shitty luck!"

InuAcosta was sitting on a wall not to far from the raging Azriel. "Dude! That's enough profanity for now. We've all token it hard."

Dante was leaning against a wall beside Makatiel. "For once I find myself saying this, but InuAcosta is right. Don't you Agree Makatiel?"

Makatiel nodded. "Truth…" Hestood up and faced Azriel. He looked him in the eye and nodded solemnly. "Come…"

Iofiel nodded in agreement with Makatiel. "What he means is: He wants you and Za'Afiel to go with him somewhere. It's important, or something like that."

Za'Afiel walked to Makatiel's side and looked at Azriel. "I think it's time we settle some issues. There's no backing out of this. Me and you, Azriel." At this point Za'Afiel was pointing his spear at Azriel with fire in his eyes.

Dante and InuAcosta stood to each side of Azriel, but he but out a hand to stop them. He shook his head. "This has been for too long coming. I think it would be best if me, Makatiel, and Za'Afiel. Good luck and maybe good by." He waved his hand as he followed after.

Then Iofiel did something odd. She grabbed Dante by the hand and les her away. She and Dante wound up near the chaos gate were they just saw Za'Afiel, Makatiel, and Azriel.

Iofiel shushed Dante from making any sudden sounds. " Me and you have something to talk about. It's about the guys. Me and you are off to an area. A random one."

InuAcosta was left alone. He started to wander around the Root town not knowing what he would do. Then the worse happened.

"Hey? Is that the bitch guy?" Said a voice in the crowd. It seem to turn everyone to face him.

He scratched his neck before disappearing into the first alley he could find. To his luck it was a dead end. Now InuAcosta was alone and so he slumped against the wall parallel to the way he came in. "I could soo use a chicken sandwich right now." The idea of how many chicken sandwiches he would eat if he got back to the real would. Agter a while he began to drool. A little, but snapped out when he saw someone coming his way.

InuAcosta was backed against a wall and would most likely have to deal with some new form of insults. He got up and was preparing himself for a fool he would make of himself.

N/A: Cliff hanger alert! Big things are happening! The next will bring a division. Three different events going on. All have some importance if not a lot.

Next Chapter: One, two, screwed over
