Dragon Champions Killer
October 14, 2009
It's nice yet disconcerting, everything's been calm in "The World" lately, it's good for everyone except my brother, how can I help him if nothing turns up. Drako is back to normal, he told me first day he can out of his coma, he though he was a little girl, I got a good laugh out of it. I've completed the restoration of the data Drakanair gave me before she got fired, the data was a pain to reconstruct, but I've discovered something very disturbing. Drako has invited me to a little dungeon hunting, finding treasures, he thinks he can find some books to increase his stats.
When I logged in, the sigma server was in night, the setting was the sun has long since went down. I know Drako had to be here, as he wanted to search sigma, to gain some experience, and hopefully a book.
"Dractaros, bout time you got here"
I turned around and sure enough, he was standing right next to the Chaos gate waiting for me.
"Hey, sorry I'm late, I had to, finish something"
He sent me an invite and asked, "Any idea of a field to search?"
"… Sigma, Discovered Bloody White Devil"
"Interesting name, what brought that one up?"
"…"
He looked at me with a puzzled look, "Drac?"
"I'll tell you when we get there"
"Ok"
When we zoned in, a cold frozen wasteland stood before us, it was dark with night, and very cold. I saw some white cherries at the base of a frozen stone beam and decided to pick them.
"White Cherries, nice find already" Drako said to me as he started to pick some, I remained silent, I have to tell him, but how can I knowing how dangerous it is. "Dractaros, what's bothering you, I haven't seen you this mopy in a while, and last time it was because something bad happened"
I stood up, and said, "When we get into the dungeon ok"
He looked really worried now, "Ok"
We walked towards the dungeon, the landscape didn't change much, saw lots of thing frozen solid, some of them where formerly living animals, others where objects like an ark. When we reached the dungeon entrance, it looked like a destroyed tower, with the entrance still in tacked leading downwards. Inside was a castle with a greenish tint.
"Now will you tell me, or is it something I don't want to know?" Drako asked, sounding a bit scared to ask, he knows me to well, he knows this is something to be scared about.
"Well, where to start"
"Should we move on ahead while you tell?"
"… Sure"
When we entered the next room, a Grangon appeared from a portal in front of us, This large dragon was ready for us as it casted a OrGan Zot on us. Drako and me dodged the spell just in time. I got to me feet and shouted "Phajuk Kruz" Branches appeared out of thin air and started slashing the dragon, it fell after a blast of wood energy due to an elemental hit.
"I finished restoring the data from my brothers log, the data just before he fell comatose"
"And something bad turned up"
We started walking into the next room, "You could say that"
The doors closed behind us, and a large starfish called a Star Eater started to walk towards us, Drako when and used a flaming slash got an elemental hit, and it fell.
"So what turned up that has you so freaked out?"
The next room was empty, but the next one had to portals that turned out to be treasure chests.
The next room on the map lead towards the stairs down, "Well, I found out what did my brother in" I said in a low tone.
"And this is the part that I'm not wanting to hear?"
"Well, partly yes, partly no"
"?" I turned around and saw he was confused.
"A single technique was used to do my brother in, but first remember in Lambda Pulsating Worst Core the data bug we fought had protective barrier around its data"
"Ya, how could I forget, it was a hard and stressful time, I thought if we weren't careful, we would have wound up like your bro"
"Well, it turns out everything has one of these barriers, even character data"
"No way, really?" He said in a very surprised tone.
We descended the stairs and the second for was ahead full of more enemies.
The room past the stairs had three Holy Mights, tall hollow armor with to big blades in each hand, and a Star Eater, me and Drako both casted OrGan Don, and got the elemental hit, the star I went and used Vakz Spiral and killed it fast.
"Well, as I was saying, something broke my brothers protect barrier and then something powerful used some sort of technique, after that he fell into his coma"
The next room was big and had another Star Eater, I used Vakz Spiral Again to defeat it, this time, it didn't die from an elemental hit.
"The scary thing is the move it used, it's similar to the data rewrite program I made, but a lot more powerful and different somehow"
"Hold on, I don't get it, how could a rewrite move sent your bro into a coma, it doesn't make sense?"
"Your guess is as good as mine"
The next room had another Star eater in it, this is getting old, this time we both used a fire move and killed it in two seconds flat.
"Ok, I have a feeling I'll regret it," Drako began to ask, "But what used this technique?"
"That is the real reason I was hesitant to tell you"
When we entered the next room, two Dark Stalkers appeared, these hooded ghostly enemies where more of a problem as these enemies where physical resistant, me and Drako both used an electric spell to defeat them.
I didn't say anything after that battle till we got to B5, I must really be shaken up, but who could blame me, I know Drako would be feeling the same if he knew, and I'm sure he will after he hears.
When we cleared out the last of the monsters standing between the Gott Statue and us, I finally chilled enough to speak up again.
"Sorry I when silent back there, it's just,"
"I get the feeling I won't get much sleep tonight if you tell me, but I have to know"
We walked though the doorway and the Gott statue was there behind the chest, the statue was Krake the water spirit, the spirit and the statue looked something like a drake.
"The thing that used the rewrite move, wasn't a creature, or a player"
"What are you saying?" Drako asked.
"Well, let's just say had I of known from the beginning, I wouldn't have asked anyone to help"
"What could be worse then a data bug?" he asked with a slight quiver in his voice.
"Well, I don't know what it is exactly, but it wasn't normal, and the scary part is it couldn't have been created by CC Corp"
"Impossible, they own, run, and manage 'The World', how could they not create it!"
"Because there where no limits on it"
"What?"
"Anything created in the game has to have a limit because it has to be beatable, and the data has to be viewable, this creature was to much that my CPU crashed, and it crashed hard, I had to reinstall everything"
"What, but how?"
"Even CC Corp couldn't make a creature like this, it has no original set data like the bugs do, this think has, well, I can't explain it, but there is no way it could have been made by CC Corp."
"Then what made it?" he asked with a major quiver in his voice.
"Well, as much as it scares me to say this, I think there is something within 'The World' that is causing all of these things to happen"
I walked forward and opened the chest, there was a book inside, I turned around and said, "Weren't you looking for this?"
"Suddenly, I feel like I want to vomit"
"Think you're scared, I'm as white as a sheet"
"Have you, told Drakanair yet?"
"She knows, that's how I confirmed it wasn't from CC Corp. she know every monster made, not one single one didn't go by her, she helped to test everyone of them, and she snooped around while she still worked there. She also found out before she was canned that the data bugs aren't CC Corps doing either."
"Great, now I'm freaked out, BRB, I'm seriously going to puck"
I don't blame him, I'm so scared that I'm shaking in my seat, why is something like this happening. I don't want Drako and Drakanair involved, but I know they won't back down, despite how terrified they are.
I stood there for a minute thinking of what to do now, if I pursue my goal, I'll eventually meet this thing, if my friends help me, I may lose one of them for good, but I know they want to help me, despite what dangers lay ahead.
"… Man, seeing what you ate for breakfast is not something pleasant" Drako said, guess he's back. "So, what do we do now?" He asked.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I don't know, the most I could think of is to try and avoid it, if that's even possible"
"So basically just give up! How could you even think of that?"
"Because there's more at stake now then just my brother, I almost lost you once man, the thought of losing you or Drakanair is too unbearable"
"I know that won't happen," he started walking over towards me, "And even if it does, I know that you'll do everything possible to make everything right, as I would if something happened to you. Since I've known you, when have you ever had to do anything alone if I could help it"
He stop right in front of me, and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Ya, but what can we do against something that's invincible, hell it's like a god, how do you defeat a god?"
"Well, I think we should start by getting Drakanair online so we can discuses what to do from here on"
"Ok, but Drako?"
"Ya, what"
"Lets not tell anyone else about this, Arcanis, Squall and Hiro don't need to know, I don't want to get them stuck in this like we are"
"Fare enough, but if they do, you know we'll have to tell them everything"
"I know"
