Disclaimer:I do not own .hack, "The World"(which doesn't exist yet), CC Corp, bla bla, you get the idea.
Author:I wrote this before, but it was god awful so I did some fixing it up. It's basicly been redone and just improved.
"Delta Smiling Detestable White Devil!"Jugatsu shouted at the Chaos Gate. His party disappeared in a set of golden rings and reappeared in a grassy plain, a basic field. Windmills were scattered around the rolling hills. Jugatsu was tall and thin, made for agility since he was a twinblade. He had spiky blond hair and his character wore a pair of black pants slightly loose, with a tight black shirt shirt. Over the shirt he wore a leather vest, also black, with bandages around the majority of his chest and other bandages covering his lower arms. He wore black gloves and black shoes made of the same material. He also had a rare item, a pair of sunglasses, which he always wore. He had a large black cloak which usually covered most of his body.
"This looks kinda boring..." said AnakinseZ looking around "Let's just go to the dungeon and finish this off I have to take a shower in about an hour." AnakinseZ wore a dark blue shirt and dark blue pants. He wears a maroon vest over his shirt, and has a maroon scarf, and maroon headband.
"Hold on I wanna try the myst spring real quick,"Skyld said as he ran over. Skyld wore a blue-ish shirt and pants of the same color. He wears a brown vest over his shirt. His hair is between what one would consider long and short. The Myst Spring was a magical pond where you could throw in old equipment.
"Did you lose a Golden Axe? or was it this Silver Axe?"Monsuier, an odd raindrop shaped creature, asked popping out of the spring.
"Neither!"Skyld replied loudly and clearly.
"Then was it this?"Monsuier asked he gave Skyld a sword called Heaven & Earth. Afterwards Monsuier left. Skyld replaced his sword with the Heaven & Earth as they continued to the dungeon. The field shortly came into sight and they began to run until they noticed something. The grass seemed to be moving and something was coming closer. AnakinseZ walked a bit closer and a group of goblin knights jumped out. They were like short imp looking people. Only these ones had full armor, like knight, hence the name, and carried a short sword
"Get ready,"Jugatsu said as he pulled out his daggers.
The four goblin knights spread out to attack. They had partied enough to know what the others were capable of so Jugatsu turned to his enemies. He had two of the goblins running at him. The first one attempted an attack but Jugatsu stepped out of the way easily enough while placing an attack on him. The goblin turned towards him and began flailing his arms running Jugatsu, but only to get hit a few times and get finished off. Jugatsu stepped back as the goblin fell. Like with all monsters it turned gray then blew away in dust. The first one kept Jugatsu busy so he had taken some damage from the other one meanwhile, but he was at a high enough level so that a few hits wouldn't matter.
"Repth!"he shouted. A blue light engulfed him and dissolved, restoring his HP.
He blocked the goblin knight's next attack and used his other dagger to place a stab in its armpit. It jumped back and met two more crossing slashes. With a final leaping slash the goblin knight was knocked back on one foot. It turned gray and blew away like dust.
He looked over his shoulder and saw Skyld running over to help AnakinseZ. According to the screen it was the last monster. It slashed at AnakinseZ and hit him in the knee. AnakinseZ has his own attack in progress and nailed the goblin knight in the side of the head with a well-aimed attack. It flew a few feet over before finally disappearing.
"This doesn't seem like it will be a hard dungeon. You good on HP, Anakin?"Jugatsu asked. Anakin was their nickname for AnakinseZ
"Yeah. Like you said this area isn't that hard. I brought some Heath Drinks and Healing Potions also,"AnakinseZ replied.
They looked back over and walked up the hill towards the dungeon.
"I can't get over how good these VR Helmets make the game,"Skyld commented.
"Yeah. Everything seems more realistic and there's not even any lag,"Jugatsu agreed while watching his movement flow freely.
"Well considering how much technology advances it shouldn't be too surprising,"AnakinseZ said.
"Well it is "The World", based off the video games. I suppose it shouldn't be too surprising."
They approached the dungeon's entrance. It was basically like a stone shed missing a wall. They stepped up to it and descended down the stairs.
"Should have seen that coming,"Jugatsu responded. They entered the next room in the last floor of the dungeon.
Skyld looked over puzzled.
"The monsters are getting harder,"Jugatsu responded.
"Only because we're running out of room, I think,"AnakinseZ said has he walked over and opened up the chest in the room.
He obtained a newbie weapon from the chest and they continued on. They entered the second to last room before the Gott Statue. The doors slammed down and a large yellow portal began to spin fast. It disappeared in a flash of light and a hades hound popped out. The green-flame engulfed canine began running, it's black spike collar bouncing around his black skin. The three separated and surrounded the dog. AnakinseZ placed a hit on the monster's side, but it was busy trying to bite at Skyld. Jugatsu was in the back slashing away at the monster's back leg. It roared as it missed the third time and jump over Skyld and at the wall. It twisted and landed on the wall, but only because of what it was going to do next. AnakinseZ ran forward to attack and the hades hound jumped off the wall and body slammed into the heavyblade. Skyld jumped up and held his sword tip down as he landed on the monster before it could get back up. It howled and tried to struggle before turning gray and blowing away.
"That should do it. According to my map there aren't anymore portals between us and the Gott Room,"Jugatsu said checking the map. They walked through the next room and came into the Gott Room. In each dungeon there was a room with a treasure chest. The point of each dungeon was to get to this room and get the treasure. Jugatsu knelt down and opened the chest. He pulled out two items meant to sell and a weak wavemaster's staff.
"That kinda sucks,"responded AnakinseZ in disappointment. Jugatsu just groaned.
"At least we can sell the items,"Skyld replied trying to look on the bright side.
Jugatsu reached into his pocket and a Sprite Ocarina appeared. He pulled it out and held it up in the air.
"...I don't think we're moving...I wonder why the Sprite Ocarina isn't taking us out of the dungeon?"Jugatsu pondered,"Can't be helped guess we have to walk."
They entered the previous room they were blinded by a light. Jugatsu's item, his sunglasses, blocked the light enough however so he managed to see through. What he saw was a a girl in a robe who was completely white like snow, cloths, hair, and skin.
"No way isn't that Aura?"Skyld asked in amazement. AnakinseZ was speechless and wide eyed.
"This VR system makes this so realistic and you said there wasn't gonna be an Aura!"Jugatsu said grinning.
The girl just stared at them for a second with a puzzled look, which caused the excitement to fade quickly. Soon footsteps were heard coming into the dungeon.
"I have little time,"the girl said as she floated over to Jugatsu,"I need you to take these."
As the girl said that there was a bright light glowing around Jugatsu, almost the same as the one from the girl when she first appeared. As the light faded this time the girl was gone but the party noticed something was different.
"My sword is different now, and it says it's called the Twilight Blade,"Skyld said in confusion.
"Same here only mine is called Tasogare,"AnakinseZ said as he checked out the new sword he was given.
The Twilight Blade was a long, but slender sword. It was black with a lining of gold going from the handle to the tip. The Tasogare had a similar design, but with a larger sized blade. There were two lining of gold crisscrossing it's way up the sword to the tip. The two finished looking at when the footsteps from earlier entered and interrupted them.
"You three!" said a voice coming from around the corner. A women with an upright military-styled posture and long blond hair appeared. She wore white armor which was almost reflective and had to red arrows on her chest place. She entered with her sword drawn in her right hand.
"Umm, hello?"Jugatsu responded half confused.
"I'm Azara, the Game Administrator. Answer me this, what happened, the data tracking this spot was distorted and we found no cause. Did you three have anything to do with this?"the lady, Azara, demanded.
"We didn't do anything here bu-"Skyld was interrupted.
"Yeah we just came out from the treasure room. The Sprite Ocarinas didn't work, that was wh-"Jugatsu was interrupted before he could cover for the incident with the snow white girl just now.
"A Sprite Ocarina would not distort the data,"she argued back harshly. She paused.
"Seems I have to be elsewhere, but first use another Sprite Ocarina,"she said sounding hardly intrigued. The same thing happened this time as Jugatsu used a Sprite Ocarina. Nothing they just stayed there. Azara just nodded and warped everyone back to Water Capital Mac Anu.
Azara warped away to another place leaving Jugatsu, Skyld, and AnakinseZ there. They walked over to the bridge. Jugatsu sat on the edge of the railing on the railing.
"That was interesting, but I gotta go now,"AnakinseZ said with a sigh.
Skyld and Jugatsu waved good bye for the day, but while waving Jugatsu noticed something different. He saw a gold thick bracelet on his arm, it had a weird kind of design on it. It was like ancient writing or something.
"I don't remember seeing this on my character when I made him, and it doesn't show up on my equipment screen either,"Jugatsu said aloud to Skyld.
"What are y-...What is that?"Skyld asked.
Jugatsu shrugged, if he didn't know why would he ask.
"It just appeared."
Jugatsu held out his wrist so Skyld could take a look on it.
"Weird I could have sworn I seen that symbol before..."Skyld said as he looked at the bracelet,"Oh wait I got it! That's the design on the gem on the sword I got,"Skyld said.
He unsheathed his sword and showed Jugatsu. Jugatsu looked at it puzzled, then seemed really excited.
"This is just like in the other game with the Data Drain and stuff. Awesome! Only..." Jugatsu trailed off and seemed to be lost in thought.
"Only...?"Skyld responded wanting to hear the rest.
"Well, there isn't any bugs or anything running around so doesn't mean that this bracelet would be kinda useless, 'sides no matter how much we want it something like that wouldn't happen,"Jugatsu answered. Skyld looked at him like he was hopeless.
"You know it's funny, you want it to happen but when something that would seem like the start of it happens you start think and realize that it won't, but maybe this is gonna have some other use,"Jugatsu said,"Anyways what should we do now level, look around, or you got any ideas?"
"Let's go level some I suppo-"Skyld cut-off, "Man I got to go also...My little brother is bugging me."
Skyld sighed as he said good bye and logged out.
"...Hmm, although I can't wait to test this out!...I probably should wait. Damn this is a pain,"Jugatsu said aloud to no one.
Then he noticed a group of wavemasters staring at him.
"Umm, this is embarrassing..."Jugatsu replied, laughing nervously,"Umm bye?"
Jugatsu walked away then logged out.
Author:Right, so if you like it, review and I'll begin posting the other chapters. Also I have a second part of this I'm working(A second story that takes place after this)...Not much to say, if you liked it, or think it needs work, review, I guess.
