Chapter 2: The first sign of a problem
They warped to the place he called out. The surroundings were amazing. He often wished they could simulate touch into the world. It was dark like the sun had just set, the cool grass looking like the wind pushed on it. He lifted up a hand as though to feel it and nothing triggered the feeling for his body to react. The buildings seemed to be giant mushrooms.
"It's pretty isn't it? By the way I never got your name. You were in such a rush to get here. My name is Sakura the mage. Nice to meet you." She did another bow and smiled warmly. Though they were only actions of her character, he felt like it was a real person.
"I am sorry for that. My name is Kaiu Yamainu the Blademaster. I am glad you joined me on such short notice." He returned the bow. They talked as they walked to the dungeon.
"That name seems odd. Are you foreign?"
He saw nothing wrong in telling his country. It was not like she knew his real name, and his house is one of many. "I am from Japan."
"It is amazing how far people can be. I live in the U.S."
"It is amazing how far we live, yet we can speak right now….." His words were cut short by activating a portal. They were to occupied to realize that they walked into it. It seemed simple enough a Water Mage and a Heavy Metal. He took after the seemingly fat warrior and slashed a few times taking a little damage.
"MeAni Kruz!" Could be heard coming from Sakura as her dark spell hit the water mage, the skulls cracking upon the monster. It quickly faded away and handed out the experience evenly.
"Maybe we should watch were we walk for now on. Or we can call a friend." He pulled out a flute and played a song. Out of nowhere an Iron grunty came up to Keto's character.
"Do you need something master? Clang Clang."
"We need your assistance to get to the dungeon." The grunty let the two climb on and dashed towards the dungeon, the monsters no longer bothering them. They reached the entrance. It was a hole that led into one of the giant mushrooms. He sent the grunty back and the two ventured into the dungeon.
The walls were of stone and had strange markings on them. A bit different then its outer shell, but that's how the world was. You could never imagine what might happen once you enter it. They walked the dungeon fighting more monsters.
The more he watched her, the more he thought her a great fighter, her magic abilities where amazing and she was very skilful. "BiVak Rom" She called out as a fire tornado surrounded a thousand trees. Kaiu finished off a Hungry Grass and ran to finish her job.
"Ani Crack." He said as his blade coursed with darkness and he jumped up slicing the monster from head to toe. Again the creature died and handed them experience. A little tune went off as Sakura leveled up. "Congrats." He said.
"Thank you now lets heal before we continue. Ola Repth" A light surrounded them and they were fully healed. The made it threw the three floors fast and finally found the statue. It was a warrior holding a blade. Kaiu walked up and opened the chest. "I know it's not much but here." He handed her the two Yellow Cards. Which she took and said thank you.
"It was an interesting day. Maybe we can do this again sometime?"
"Sure" He said as he bent down to get the Ice Bar. The reason he started this trip. As he touched it the world seemed to lag for a moment and a green line came threw his screen. Like old computers get when there resolution is wrong or the video card could not handle it. All the colors changed and switched back as fast as it happened. "What was that?" He asked his friend.
"Kaiu watch out!" He turned to see the statue fall. Not in its normal fashion it fell out of its area and the blade was heading for Kaiu. He moved to the side at the last moment and it fell to the floor and quickly shattered into data and disappeared.
"I know that's not normal. Lets leave." She nodded and he pulled out a Spirit Ocarina. He played it and they were warped to the field of darkness. Everything seemed normal. Like nothing happened. He logged out and met up with her back in town. "Do you think you can meet up with me tomorrow?"
"Yes I will be on later though. Will that be alright?"
"Yes that will be fine. I want to search into this a little more."
"Yes I want to see it to. Well it looks like we will be seeing more of each other." She laughed and logged out. She was an odd one but she seemed like a good player. If he wanted someone to search with this, she seemed the best to watch his back. He looked at a clock he encoded into the program, it was late and he needed sleep for the game tomorrow. He logged off and set down the controller, then removed the helmet.
"This is very odd, what is happening?" He asked himself as he climbed into bed and quickly fell asleep. His screen continued to glow and then a message appeared.
That was no accident. Something is happening. Your actions will either destroy the world or save it, the world rest in your hands. Keto Hero.
The screen shut off after the text was typed. Who wrote this strange message and why did it leave Keto with such a burden?"
Well this is my second entry. I hope it picked up a little more for you. Much more to come, please keep reviewing. I hope you enjoy this story.
