A/N: I got a weird one for you all this time around. I'm getting down to the end in only a few, or so I think. Never can tell.
Character's corner: Ziggz
A strange Heavy blade who overcame the Omega server arena. A duel heavy blade. Has a old set of values revolving around honor, but is always seen fighting. From dawn-to-dawn, he never seems to smile, and without a doubt can be a jerk. Some call him a vindictive, merciless, and a fool.
Chapter9: One, Two, screwed over
With Azriel, Za'Afiel, and Makatiel
Azriel, Za'Afiel, and Makatiel warped to the area Delta: Lonely, Fatal, Duel
The areas weather was in the middle of a storm. The down pour was heavy, and the sound of thunder was often. It echoed in the soundless air between the three.
They had arrived as a group but the tension was running high. Azriel was still frustrated and wanted to release his frustration on something, anyone, or what ever seemed convenient.
"Ok! It's time we get this over with Za'Afiel." Azriel drew his sword, and was posed to strike.
Za'Afiel stood with a smug look on his face. He threw his spear over his shoulders and he began to chuckle. "You got to be out of it! Put your weapon down. We have business to discuss."
Azriel was confused. He came along expecting to get into a fight, but here there with "business" to discuss. He was lost. "Business?"
Makatiel just stood around waiting for the issue to resolve. He was the ever vigilant sentinel. "Idiots…"
With Dante and Iofiel
The duo warped to Delta: Sleepy, Sage's, Tragedy
The two arrived at the white field, but something was off about this area. There was a dense fog. Fog wasn't a common thing in "The World", or at least not this thickThere was something else about this area that seemed off beat.
"So Iofiel? What's the matter?" Dante asked her curiosity at its peak.
Iofiel hesitated a moment. She spun around a started to peer out into the fog. "Its weird… I heard this rumor that a strange figure has been seen in this area. They say it's a ghost haunting this place, but this is a game." Iofiel gave a weak grin.
Dante felt that Iofiel was hiding something, but before she could interrogate Iofiel. Iofiel had took off into the fog. Dante followed after.
Dante soon after became lost. She had no clue were she was. She did a basic tactic. She used a fairy's orb. She checked the map and was shocked to see portals activating. She wasn't sure if Iofiel was in trouble.
Dante followed the direction of the activated portal, and soon heard the sound of battle. In the fog the only thing she saw, was the fading bodies of the defeated monsters. To her surprise there was no Iofiel, but there was a person.
With InuAcosta
"Who are you, and what the fuck you want?" A worried InuAcosta asked.
There was a reply. "Hmm? Oh sorry if I disturbed you Mr. Bitch boy."
The person drew closer and InuAcosta didn't appreciate the remark, but as the person was in sight, he notice what he was dealing with. A female Blade Master common in design. She wore a amber suit of armor, that had black markings, with short brown hair, and a fencing blade at her side.
"So Mr. Bitch boy? What have you been up to?" She rested her hands on her hips and blocked InuAcosta's only exit. "Aren't cha gonna say something?"
InuAcosta regained what little wits he had, and quickly thought of something. " Ya mind not calling me Mr. Bitch boy! Its InuAcosta. What the hell you want, or are you one of my fans?"
"No that's not it. It's something else." She began to close the gap between herself and InuAcosta. "You know. Your becoming popular here in "The World". I herd you pretty strong. I got an offer for you."
This peaked InuAcosta's curiosity. "Oh?"
She smirked. "As you probably know by now, "The World" has yet a new expansion. They added some new things, but of all the upgrades and additions…" She paused for a second.
A couple of seconds passed as she stared a InuAcosta. She was studying him, and he was beginning to get freaked out. "What's with the time delay! Spit it out!"
Her smirk became a grin. "it's the new job class, or should I call it a career. On any level it's called Werewolf."
A light went off in InuAcosta's head. He heard the word wolf and he was set. "How you get this Werewolf class?"
"That's the thing. No ones sure, but I got a lead on one of the requirements, but I need a little help."
InuAcosta was beginning to piece it together. "Why not ask one of the higher level players?"
Her expression changed. "Well its very simple. If I teamed up with a high player, they might want the requirement. I here it's a item. I figure it be best if I get someone I can out muscle."
InuAcosta was insulted. "What you mean 'out muscle'?"
She was beginning to get fed up with this idiotic game of give-and-go. "Ok then. Now I'll take a different approach."
She moved in, and was now nose-to-nose with InuAcosta. InuAcosta had no clue what was going on. He wasn't sure what this "different approach" was, but it wasn't long till he had an idea.
She placed a hand gentle on InuAcosta's right shoulder, and without notice nor warning, she spun and slammed InuAcosta up against the wall InuAcosta had once leaned against.
"By the authority granted to me by the CC corp. I hear by place you under arrest for the following crimes: One: Illegally modifying ones user data. Two: Illegal modifying a weapon. Three: You were found at multiple occasions in the presence of the deleted Hacker Maxell. The very same hacker who was believed to been spreading a virus. The list goes on. Now by the power granted to me by the power of the amethyst knights, I here by sentence you with the penalty of your crime. You are to be banned and your character permanently deleted, or you can just help me, ok?"
InuAcosta was shocked. What he had thought had been totally off key. Now he was sure what was going on. Up was down and vise versa. He knew very well what deletion spelled and what would happen to him in the real world. "You got to be kidding me. Aren't knights suppose to have the helmet and the armor, and we both can't forget the CC corp. logo." He rolled his eyes as his face was being pressed harder up against the wall. He started mumbling. "I'm just lucky Azriel ain't here. He'd have a freaken field day with this."
"What you say Bitch boy?" The Amethyst knight barked.
"Nothing oh-she-who-controls-the-sky-and-every-other-damned-thing."
InuAcosta felt something slam into his ribs. He collapsed, but the knight kept the pressure on InuAcosta's head. "What you say Bitch boy?
"Nothing Ms. Knight." InuAcosta replied giving into the pressure.
"Good. Now what's it going to be? Help me, or Deletion?"
With Azriel, Za'Afiel, and Makatiel
"Now let me tell you this." Za'Afiel turned to the dungeon and pointed his spear out to the entrance. "Makatiel won't say anymore than one word per sentence. Well lets get to the point. He managed to get his hands on the location of this item. Its in the dungeon."
Makatiel nodded and proceeded towards the dungeon, but stopped a few feet. "Come…"
Azriel looked confused. "So what's this item called, and I thought we were going to fight." Azriel put his sword back.
Za'Afiel chuckled. "Don't worry. Me and you will settle our differences eventually, but now Makatiel needs us. The item is a light head gear. A pair of shade. That's all I know. Now let get this show on the road."
Dante and Iofiel
Dante watched and saw two blades shimmer. They were too big to be twin blades. Then out of the fog came Iofiel. She stood beside Dante.
The two could see the blades but the wielder, and as soon as the last monster fell, the wielder fled the scene. Dante and Iofiel began to notice the fog lifting, with no sight of the mystery player.
"Now you see, Dante?" Iofiel gestured to the dungeon. "That was the duel Heavy Blade Ziggz. They say he never logs out. All he does is fight. 24hours 7days a week. I think he's like us."
Dante nodded. "But what does this have to do with the guys?"
"Moral boost. Without Maxell, tension is beginning to run high. Maybe Ziggz can help us regain some control. We need a plan if we are to keep living. Now hurry up, or we'll lose him."
The two headed into the dungeon with hopes of finding Ziggz, but to their dismay, he already had a huge head start, but they were on the way.
With InuAcosta
InuAcosta wasn't liking any of this. He was forced to make a decision. "I'll help! Just let me go."
The Amethyst knight smiled. "Now how hard was that? Lets get going to Delta: Dog Dancing, Moonlit, Den!"
"So Ms. Knight? Can you please let me go now. I agreed damn it!"
So as InuAcosta had asked, the knight had released him. He got to his feet and dusted himself off. He really didn't feel up to this. Not now, and certainly not after what had happened to Maxell.
"So…What should I call you?" InuAcosta was regain some of the leverage. She knew him by name, but he knew nothing about her, that she hadn't stated herself.
She stood and struck a thinking pose. Then it hit her. "Ms. Knight will do for now."
InuAcosta wasn't surprised it fit with everything else going on. "Lets get this show on the road?"
With Dante and Iofiel
"So Iofiel? This Ziggz guy…is he really as strong as everyone says?" Dante had stopped just shy of basement two. She had stopped to think. To think of life.
"Who knows. He could be a fraud. A self proclaimed 'god', but he is still and interesting person to meet." Iofiel started up and descended into the dungeon, and Dante followed.
With Azriel, Makatiel, Za'Afiel
"Why do I waste my time in this place. Its boring!" Azriel shouted as the moved into the next room.
"Hey! Speak for yourself. I'm way better then you are." Za'Afiel bragged, as he then put his thumb to his chest, and throw his spear over his shoulder. "anyway were almost at the Gott."
Makatiel shook his head. "Idiots…"
