It's me again, with another update for 8 I think it was people who read chapter 4 .. Nothing to say so, Enjoy.
"So then what's the next step?"Erica asked as they sat down by a fire.
Skyld was sitting across from everyone else with Erica. Jugatsu was sitting right up next to the fire, Momiri was huggling with him to keep him warm, at least that's what she said. Venus was to Momiri's left.
"From what it sounds like, we should try to get information on these AIs,"Venus said.
"Where will find information though?"Momiri asked.
There was silence.
"Seems no one has a clue,"Jugatsu said finally,"We don't have much information to go on and I can't think of any sources."
He looked at is bracelet wondering if it would help in anyway.
"I think I got an idea,"Erica said, which caught everyones attention,"That bracelet is the one the snow girl or Aura or whatever gave you correct? Well then it must be of use. First warp us back to town."
Jugatsu was clueless to how this would help but he agreed.
"Teleport!"Jugatsu commanded.
Nothing happened. He looked the bracelet and wondered why it wouldn't work.
"What did you do to get it to work last time?"Venus asked.
Jugatsu thought about it, he couldn't think of anything he said that activated it.
"Oh I got it, it works off emotions, you wanted to leave so desperately the bracelet worked,"Skyld explained.
Jugatsu just looked him like he was crazy.
"That is seriously cheesy, and desperate makes me sound bad,"Jugatsu argued.
"Fine then, I was trying to help,"Sky replied.
"Hmm..."Jugatsu said as he put his right arm pointing towards the sky,"I want to leave!"
Yet again this was followed nothing. Jugatsu sat back down ready think, but some monsters came from over a hill. There were two enemies which resembled a wizard sitting on a crystal ball and floating around and a third one who was big and covered in armor, it also had a huge mace. Venus jumped in front of the mace wielding monster and blocked it's first attack, but then it swung at her again and knocked her out of the way. She fell in the snow and dropped her weapon.
"This place must be pretty high level, I lost a decent amount of hit points from that,"she said getting back up.
Meanwhile Skyld and Erica chased after the separate wizards who kept running away. The mace wielding monster went after Momiri afterwards and Jugatsu jumped in front of her and blocked the attack. He tried to attack again but Jugatsu grabbed Momiri and jumped out of the way. After helping Momiri get back up Jugatsu went to face the monster again. Venus was there this time also. Jugatsu ran up and tried slashing at the monster multiple times but the attacks just bounced off. The monster kicked him and knocked him back. Jugatsu was in pain now and was standing up holding his stomach. Venus jumped up and got an attack on the monster's head which made him step back some. Jugatsu began to analyze the enemy hoping to see a weakness, but it looked to be well defended.
"If only we could weaken this monster we could kill it,"Jugatsu said still holding his stomach, he could hardly stand up straight after that attack.
Next he felt a weird power emanating from the bracelet. He looked at it and it began to glow, so he got an idea. He pointed at the monster who was struggling trying to get a good hit on Venus who was dodging each attack and countering to no avail.
"Watch out Venus,"Jugatsu grunted, trying not to fall over.
Venus jumped out of the way.
"Data Drain!"Jugatsu shouted.
Next there was a burst of light and a group long rope looking things came from the bracelet and shot through the monster. It blew away without even turning gray. Jugatsu smirked over the success and fell over in pain. Skyld and Erica were still having trouble trying to catch wizards, so Momiri ran over and started to cast a spell which made the target freeze. This allowed Skyld and Erica to kill the wizards. In the aftermath of the battle everyone regrouped around Jugatsu. He had a smirk but was still in pain.
"I know how to work the bracelet now,"Jugatsu grunted as Momiri helped him sit up.
Next she cast Repth in order help Jugatsu recover, and it worked. Jugatsu now stood up.
"So how does it work?"Skyld asked.
"Actually you were kind of right Skyld, the bracelet runs off of a need more then anything. We needed to get out of that one room and just now we needed to weaken that monster,"Jugatsu explained.
"That bracelet is actually like the one on the other game,"Venus said smiling,"That's so cool."
"It would be safer to stay here for now. 'til we can make sure we can leave safely,"Erica said.
"Umm I have to go now, sorry everyone. Bye Ju-kun,"Momiri said with a bow as she logged out.
Yeah...the bracelet if you haven't noticed is slightly different then in typical .hack/ items. You don't see much use in it yet, but...yeah. Reviews always welcome. So comments and critisism welcome. And sorry for the short chapter, I'll post the next one faster in exchange.
