Yay. .. caugh. Continuing, yeah, if I get more reviews I'll start posting the chapters faster right now it's kinda whenever I feel like it. Enough of me though, enjoy.


The next morning, Austin awoke. He walked to the bathroom and splashed cold water onto his face. He dressed himself, walked to his bed, and laid there for a minute thinking about what he should do. The thought of Jugatsu not being able to log out crossed his mind, but he figured it was probably some sort of mistake, like he hit a wrong button.

"I have the whole house to myself and nothing to do..."Austin said aloud to himself. He went to eat breakfast, even though it was about 10:00. He saw his mom made pancakes, which he loved so much. Austin put two on a plate and got some syrup. After he ate he again went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and walked back to his room. He turned his television on and saw some cartoons he changed the channel countless times. He flipped on to one channel it was the news and was talking about "The World". He decided to watch it.

"Late yesterday Kaishin Suichiami, a 15 year old boy, was found passed out by his computer. After being rushed to the hospital he was said to be in a comatose status. He was playing a game called "The World" from the company CC Corporation. They had this to say."Well the facts say he was on the entire day and playing with the Virtual Reality headset. By the sounds of it the Virtual Reality and neglect to his body sent him into a coma. We bear no responsibility towards this incident, since we cannot control how someone plays, but we do sympathize and paid a generous sum of money to the Suichiami family." Is what the CC Corp. adviser had to say. The condition seems to very at certain times but for the most part he's remaining stabl-"Austin cut the TV off.

"This is probably some event or they're trying to get news,"Austin said with a shrug. He walked to his computer and brought up Altimit.

"Let me just check my mail and I'll log on. I doubt Jugatsu is still on anyways." His computer started up and he checked a new message.

"Hello Austin! I just want you to know how I've been the last 5 years. Colorado is great! I'm thinking about moving back to Illinois in a few months so I want to see you when I get back. Also I started playing "The World" since I knew you liked it. I asked around town if anyone saw you :D. I saw met this one long arm who wore pink cloths she told me that someone named Jugatsu hangs with you and I found him walking around town. He seemed busy but was kind enough to give me your member address. I hope you don't mind I'll be waiting for you." He thought about the email. "If she saw Jugatsu then he must be on now I think...I guess I should go on and talk to her. What should I say to her after 5 years..." With out thinking about it he logged on.

While Skyld was reading his e-mail Jugatsu was walking around town still curious about why he couldn't log out and how he had 4 of his senses when he should only have 2. He also noticed how he wasn't tired at all the whole time he was on and wondered time it was now. As he was walking around Mac Anu he noticed something going on at the bridge. He walked over curious to see what was happening. He made sure the bracelet was hidden first.

"So do you know who and where Jugatsu is?"this short blond hair man was saying.

He wore white cloths and what looked similar to a red overcoat. He looked kind of young but must have been with the administration Jugatsu was guessing. Under the man's right eye was a wavy blue line.

"Who are you?"Jugatsu asked the man. The man looked him weird for a second, but then answered.

"I'm Azara's aid, my name is Remial. I'm looking for a player who has been working against the system. Would you know about it?"Remial asked.

He seemed a lot nicer then Azara but he was still an enemy since he worked under her. Jugatsu looked at who he was talking to before him, and noticed it was Venus and Momiri. At they same time they looked over and saw him.

"Jugatsu run!"Venus yelled.

Jugatsu thought she was an idiot for yelling that when clearly Remial didn't know.

"You did know him, you must be with him I'm sorry but you two will be in trouble for lieing to the administration and will be treated as part of his group,"Remial said.

My group? Jugatsu chuckled at the thought. He ran over and grabbed Venus and Momiri's arms then ran off. Remial just watched them run away with a slight look of disappointment. As they ran towards the Chaos Gate Jugatsu noticed the girl from before asking about Skyld. He stopped for a second and stared then ran next to the portal and was about to warp away. Before he could warp though Skyld logged on and stepped right into Jugatsu knocking both of them down.

"Oww.."Jugatsu said rubbing his head,"we have no time for this everyone warp!" In the confusion all 5 of them managed to warp to a dungeon.

"Erica! great to see you!"Skyld said after he recovered from the the confusion. She smiled, showing she felt the same way. Momiri was looking around completely lost, and Venus was just blanked out.

"That was close, you two shouldn't get in trouble over us,"Jugatsu said between panting.

"Umm excuse me but why are you tired, Ju-kun?"Momiri asked.

Jugatsu looked at Skyld and Erica talking, then over to Momiri. None of the girls knew anything about what was going on.

"Oh yeah by the way Jugatsu, did you hear about the kid that was supposed to be in a comatose state while playing?"Skyld asked after some time passed.

Jugatsu paused for a second.

"Umm I don't think I saw the news,"Jugatsu said covering the fact he couldn't log out from the girls.

"Anyways Erica this is Jugatsu. The long arm is Venus and the wavemaster is Momiri, they're two friends we met recently. Everyone this is my old friend Erica,"Skyld said introducing everyone.

Erica waved to them with a smile.

"Skyld I need to talk you for a second,"Jugatsu said motioning to move away.

Skyld looked over to Erica who nodded to show it was okay. They were in a snowy map, and Jugatsu and Skyld went to an area by a bunch of dead trees covered in ice sickles.

"Skyld I haven't been able log out at all,"Jugatsu said looking at the ground.

"When did this happen anyways?"Skyld asked.

"Ever since I warped us from the map.."Jugatsu replied.

"There's no use worrying about it now we can't do anything, but I think Erica should join us she's really smart and she could be helpful."

Jugatsu looked at him.

"We should get Venus and Momiri to join us also. They're in trouble for what we've done. I'll also have to explain what's happening to me,"Jugatsu said shuddering, "It's so cold here."

The two then walked back over the frozen lake to where the girls were. They looked as though they were just talking to each other, probably girl talk they thought.

"You three thre-"Jugatsu could hardly talk he was getting so cold.

Skyld decided to explain.

"We were wondering if you three will join us,"Skyld managed to say,"You see, it's because some crazy stuff has been happening lately, and it seems Venus and Momiri are caught up in it now. Erica if you would join I think you would be very helpful."

"I'll help anyway I can,"Momiri answered.

Venus and Erica agreed.

"Just tell us more about it though,"Venus continued.

"Well the time we went to this one dungeon we ran into this girl that looked like Aura only she didn't seem to respond to it as though she was, we don't know if it is Aura or not yet. When we ran into her we think it distorted the data and then we ran into Azara,"Skyld explained," Then we went to Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground and got caught there. We were then captured and brought to this one dungeon where we were interrogated. After we were interrogated and Azara left, we saw the Aura like girl again. And she tried to help us, but left. Then an evil AI appeared. Jugatsu managed to get the bracelet to get us out. Only afterwards he couldn't log out and was able to feel and smell things also. He's freezing right now."

Jugatsu started laughing.

"Yeah I'm freezing, but don't take pity on me,"Jugatsu managed to get out.

After hearing the story the girls understood while Venus had Momiri joined with little choice, after all they were now enemies to the system as well, Erica was happy to join.


Soooo, yeah. Not so much of an action chapter, but then again until the later chapters they all tend to be like...not so much with the action. . ; Reviews wanted, please. They make me feel special. . >.> Right seriously though. Reviews are appreciated because when it feels like I have to write instead of when I want to write I tend to work better.
