Chapter Twelve

Beginning of Chaos

October 3, 2009

Things have been getting crazy lately in CC Corp, it seems that minor problems seem to be popping up around "The World" lately. However, Lios doesn't want anyone outside the company to know about what's going on, and I think he suspects me for helping Dractaros. Maybe I'll take Dractaros' advice and try not to draw attention to myself, today I'm on vacation from work, and have decided to log into The World for a little fun.

When I logged in, the Lambda server laid before me, it was a sunny day, with no clouds, I decided to go over to the Grunty ranch and check on a young grunty I recently got. The server was a bit empty today, witch was a bit unusual, when I got to the ranch, I saw Drako, he was tending to his Iron Grunty, which sum time ago he said he named Arthur, after the great King who wielded Excalibur.

He looked up and said to me, "Hey stranger, what brings you here?"

"Very funny Drako," I replied back, "You know where Dractaros is?"

"Fraid not, he said he was working on a new program"

"What new program?"

"He calls it, the gate program, I assume it has something to do with warping to places like the Chaos Gates but with this program"

"Sounds like a good plan, from what I know, Helba uses a similar program to move around"

Drako got up and asked, "You want to go find him?"

"No, just wanted to know so I didn't bump into him"

"What, you to get into a fight?"

"No, I've just decided that he was right, and I should stop helping until Lios gets of my back"

"So, he suspects you?"

"Ya, so I need to 'do my job' for now"

"Oh, alright then, guess I shouldn't ask if you want to go to a dungeon together"

"Ya, you shouldn't"

"So, are you on duty today?"

"Nope, just here to have some fun and," Just then I received an E-mail, it was from Lios, saying: come to Lambda, Soaring Sky Bounded Abyss at once, Lios. "Never mind, work is calling me again :-("

"Guess your free time is already over, well, I should be going, got things to do today"

"K, later"

After Drako logged out, I when to Lambda Soaring Sky Bounded Abyss, why would Lios be calling me to a meeting on my day off, I got a bad feeling about this, and why a meeting in the game, I opened up the message program that Dractaros sent me and stood ready to send just incase.

When the field loaded up, I was surprised, this was the only field I've ever seen that was nothing, just an endless white plain, what kind of place is this?

"It's about time you got here"

I turned around and saw Lios, the server administer, his character was like that of a merchant, fat, he wore a small green hat, and green pants and shirt, "Lios sir!"

"You are here to discuses your action over the last year"

"What are you talking about sir?"

"I'm talking about your collaboration with the outlaw character Dractaros, a character that have violated the user usage agreement for his own pleasure"

"What on earth do you mean?" I decided that this was a real emergency, and was ready to send the message.

"Records show that you have been not only been working with illegal characters, but have been hiding them from CC Corporation"

"What are you talking about, I've been assigned to find them, why would I risk my job like that"

You can't lie your way out of it this time, you've violated not only the player usage agreement, but you've also abused your powers to hide them from use for to long, and just so you could play it dangerously, or so you could undermined our jobs as game administers"

There's no getting out of it now, I have to send it, I sent a S.O.S to Dractaros, and just had to hope, "Ok sir, there's no hiding it, but you've got the wrong idea about what where doing"

"And what's that exactly, you've been causing errors in the programming, destroying files, and causing nothing but problems in the game. For your crimes, I wish could have you arrested, however, I can't so there for, Draconair, your character Data is to be erased, you are fired from CC Corporation, and here by banded for life from the world, effective immediately, you will not be able to create a new character, and all information retaining to these hackers it to be handed over to me"

"And you would condemn a person then"

"What are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about what you refuse to hear, there's something in this game that has been causing players to fall into comas, and you blame it on hackers. If you want to know the truth, I'm helping him because he's trying to find proof that it's something in this game that's causing it"

"Ridiculous, it's not possible for a game to cause anything more then a seizure, and that itself is a rare case. You story is just a story, a lie to make you sound innocent, nothing more"

With that, Lios's character began to rise into the air, "Abnormality, your presence causes problems in this game, I'm now going to delete you" He stuck his hand out and was about so activate the deletion program he had, however, something shock the ground before he could, both of us looked at a Chaos Gate that just appeared.

"What's going on?" Lios asked in a shocked voice.

"I'm what's going on" A character materialized next to the gate, I recognized him right away, "Dractaros!"

"That's right," He replied, "you called for help?"

"So you are in league with him, just as I thought"

"Now listen here Lios, you're the one who's the problem, because of your ignorance, my brother is in the hospital in a coma. You keep claming that it's hackers that are causing the problems, but you're to stupid to look at the real problem. All you care about is keeping that game online, so you can fill your pockets with money"

"And where do you go off at and start accusing me for the problems in this game, you're the major cause of all this. You are charged with violating the user usage agreement, and your character data is to there by be deleted"

"Like you could delete my data you Pig head, and as long as you continue ignoring the real problem, things will only get worse, mark my words on that, and if your not going to do something about it, then I will"

"Drac" I said quietly.

"Draconair, please, do what I'm about to tell you," Dractaros said to me, "Come to Japan, There seems to be nothing left for you here"

"Ok, I'm sorry to have caused problems"

"You shouldn't be the one who's sorry, he is"

"Do you really think that you can leave here?" Lios said calmly, "I've made it impossible to gate out, the only thing that is to come for you two is deletion"

"You think you can stop me, think again," A Chaos gate appeared again right next to use, "Draconair, go, and don't worry, I'll be right behind you"

"Ok"

I moved towards the gate, but before I could touch it, Lios said something that got my attention.

"You as defiantly a foolish person, you threw away your job, for this piece of garbage, your hopeless"

I turned around and said, "Before this is over Lios, you'll see that you're the foolish one, even though I'm no longer a part of CC Corp. I'm now free to help Dractaros all I want, so ultimately, you lost this time, Lios"

The moment, I touched the gate, I was gated out, I logged out after words, and started packing for my trip to Japan.

Even though I've been fired from my job, I feel better now, for I can help Dractaros all I want now. These times will be difficult, but I feel that in the end, it will all work out. Before I leave though, I'm sending an E-mail to a friend of mine inside CC Corp. I just hope that he'll help us out.
