When Ada awoke that morrning, she hurridly put on a pair of old jeans, a faded t-shirt and a sweatshirt and headed downstairs. Her mother was humming to herself in the kitchen, frying bacon in a pan on the stove, her father drinking coffee, reading the newspaper at the table. "Ada, why are you up so early?" Her mother said, smiling as she laid a plate of bacon in front of her husband.

"Im just going out mom, kay?" Ada said, grabbing her backpack and cell phone out of the living room, going in and hugging her parents. Her dad smiled at her and said, "My little go-getter." Ada smiled too. "Ill be back soon," she said, and headed out the front door. There was probally 3 major hospitals in the tokoyo area, she would have to check all 3.

Ada went about 5 blocks before she came into the subway station. She bought a ticket for the subway from an overly happy worker and she entered the metal subway. She was lucky to find a seat, next to a buisness man who was yelling into his cellphone and an old lady who appeared to be going shopping. Ada smiled at the lady, politely.

Three hospitals: Shoto Memorial Hospital, Inometari Memorial, and Akiria. Ada rubbed her head as she exited the subway station, that man on the cell phone had given her a pounding headache. I must find Tsukasa...Nobody said this was going to be easy. Ada walked down the crowded street, then 2 more, and she came upon a large white building, maybe 10 stories high. Ambulances were parked in front and nurses and doctors in scrubs were walking in and out, taking ciggerette breaks.

This was Akiria Hospital. Ada entered through the sliding glass doors. She was overwhelmed by the smells of lysol and peppermint, the usual smells of a hospital. Besides death, maybe. Medicine. She stepped up to the front counter, the service woman was filing her nails with a nail filer, chewing and snapping her gum annoyingly. "Excuse me, where can I find comatose victims?" Ada asked, trying not to seem so...suspicious.

"4th floor, to the right," The woman said boredly, snapping her gum loudly as Ada went to the elevator. She was cramped inside it with 2 little children pressing the buttons and a mother who had her hands full of flowers. Ada got out of there was soon as they reached the fourth floor, the children adding to her headache. I wish i knew Tsukasa's real name...this would be much easier... She entered the room for comatose victims.

A white painted and tiled hallway lay before her. She looked into the first room. an older looking woman, her eyes softly closed and tubes and machines surrounded her, along with a man, who seemed to be her husband. Ada quickly left the room and to the next. A little girl. Ada felt a twang of sadness as she seen the little girl, a teddy bear tucked under her arms.

The last room in the hall. She looked inside. There was a teenaged boy laying in the bed, an air resperator close to his side and many heart monitors close to his bed. A few cards and flowers lay near his bed. Could this be him? she thought entering the room, and grabbing the folder off the door. she closed the door and sat down on the ledge near the window, feeling a bit odd by just making herself at home in some comatose patient's room.

The file read:

Name: Azumna, Akira

Age: 15

Reason Of Medical Attention: Fell into coma by playing video game, reasons of coma unknown.

Blood Type: AB

This must be Tsukasa.


The girl layed in the white trundle bed, silent, unmoving. Cascades of pure white hair surrounded her. She had the palest skin and she wore a little, danity gown. The strange woman looked down on her and smiled, "Dont worry little girl, you'll never awaken. See how evil this world can truely be?" She again chuckled.
Ada moved closer to Tsukasa's bed, it looked like no one, besides nurses and doctors, had been there in a while. Tsukasa had wavy, deep brown hair that seemed a bit curly. she wondered what his eyes looked like, they are probally beautiful She thought as she smoothed down his hair. She should leave soon, she knew that, but she didn't want to leave Tsukasa alone. She frowned and whisped to him, "I'll be back soon, dont worry"

Ada exited the room and placed the folder in the plastic holder outside the door and took the elevator ride down to the first floor. She didn't realize she was alone, the elevator music had made her suprisingly calm. She looked into the mirrored ceiling and-was she blushing?

She shook her head and once the heavy metal elevator doors opened, she exited the hospital, thankful to get away from the medicine and peppermint smell.


Ada came home and ran up the stairs, it seemed like no one was home. It was a saturday. Mom was probally at the store or something, who knew where dad was, and the twins must have been at a friends home. Ada came into her room and put her backpack on her bed and streched. I'll vist him all the time...I'll save him. I'll find a cure. Together, we can cure him. Maha...what she turned into...That thing. there must be more of herself...a normel monster that can turn into something greater. Ada thought as she booted up the computer.

She hastily put her headset on and clicked on the world icon. She appeared next to the golden chaos gate and was in Mac Anu and she quickly warped to Hidden Forbidden Holyground.

Ada appeared on the stone bridge, close to the church and she jogged over to it, her axe feeling quite heavy on her shoulders. She entered through the stone doors and said, "Tsukasa! I seen you in real life!" No awnser. She walked near the altar and someone said, "You know of Tsukasa? You are his friend?" Someone walked out. The girl had blue, shoulder length hair and was a heavyaxe, like herself. "Subaru? What are you doing here?" Ada said, looking at her strangely. She desperately wanted to say "where is Tsukasa? what have you done to him?"

"Yes, it is I. I've been trying to find Tsukasa, I've heard hes been here. But I guess not now," she said, leaning against a dusty stone column, "He cant log out. I've met a woman, she was quite a character." Shes being open to me and I hardly know her! Ada thought as Subaru continued.

"Her name was something like Helba. She is a super hacker. She says she can help us cure Tsukasa's problem. There are 8 super monsters in the world, Data Bugs, very strong and very difficult to defeat. If we defeat all eight, he should be able to log out. Its going to be a dfficult journey. But you do want to help Tsukasa, right?" Ada nodded. "I know of some trustworththy people. Meet me tonight, in Carmina Gadelica. Try and make sure Tsukasa is with you. We need his help as well"

Subaru nodded to her and gated out. Ada only wished she knew where Tsukasa was.


After maybe 3 hours of hard training in multiple dungeons, Ada warped to Hidden Forbidden Holyground. She had raised almost 4 levels, which would make her a level 10. She knew she was weak, but subaru's warnings of those monsters being really difficult worried her. She was determined to make herself a level 20 soon, she couldnt let herself fall behind.

Ada tiredly walked towards the church doors, her boots making a soft clack on the stone. It made her feel less alone. She entered the church and called out, softly, "Tsukasa?" She moved over to a pew and seen him sitting there. "Where did you go?" Ada asked, sitting besides him and resting her axe onto the dusty stone ground. "Maha came her, she took me away. We talked." He said softly.

Ada nodded solemnly. She didn't like to think about Maha these days. Before, she was like this cat fairy who would make things seems special. But she seemed like a demon, a demon she would have to kill sometime in the future to save Tsukasa. "I have good news...I went to some local hospitals today. I found you" Tsukasa's stormy grey eyes widened with happiness and said, "Really? Wow! I really wish i could log out...Thank you Ada" Ada smiled at him and said, "Im going to vist you everday. I promise" They smiled at each other.

"oh. Remember Subaru?" Ada said, Tsukasa nodded. "She has found a way to get you out of here." Tsukasa smiled again. "We have to go to Carmina Gadelica, shes going to explain more." "Its probally a trap. They just want to arrest me for being around Maha" Tsukasa said darkly. Ada looked away. "You have to go...This is going to get you to log out, we must."

"You don't know how lovely you are
I had to find you, tell you I need you
Tell you I set you apart"
