"In order to apologize for the events which led to the closing of Delta, I have an event prepared. Anyone interesting in joining a snow ball war event report to Theta Smiling Gluttonous Tri Pansy. Bring at least six people for your team,"Jugatsu heard Azara send the message to everyone.

He sent a message to Venus and Momiri asking if they would join his team. Shortly afterwards the met in front of the item shop. He continued to send a message to Erica, Skyld, and AnakinseZ afterwards. They met up in a minute or so also. When the team was ready they went to the gate.

"Theta Smiling Gluttonous Tri Pansy!"Jugatsu shouted.

Next thing they knew they were on a field which looked like a glacier.

"Over there,"Venus said pointing to a large crowd of people around a stage. They walked over and were looking at the stage. They saw Remial but Azara wasn't there. AnakinseZ was the first to noticed Azara was walking over. She walked up to the group and stared at them, it looked like she rather disdained the truce.

"So you and your group decided to join the contest,"she said finally.

She then continued to walk to the stage not even waiting for a reply. She stepped up onto the stage and took the microphone from Remial.

"The rules are simple,"she began,"each person will have a target placed on them and they will each get a fort. You then begin to throw snowballs at each other. Each round will consist of 3 teams, 6 people in each team, in a free for all. The last team with players left advances to the next round. When the team winning the first match advances any members taken out are put back in. Now go take your forts."

Jugatsu noticed she was looking around, but he didn't worry much about it his team took a castle that was close to the edge. The forts were between large and small. There was a doorway which you walk in and an empty room. On the wall opposite of the door was a set of stairs. The team walked up and checked out the second floor. It had a roof and railing but other then that it was mostly open. There was a pile of snow to the back which was to be used for snowballs. They heard a sound to begin.

"Split into two groups. One set go after the castle to the left and the other work on the castle down the hill,"Jugatsu said.

Jugatsu, Venus, and Momiri decided to attack the castle to the left. This left AnakinseZ, Skyld, and Erica to attack the castle below. The castles weren't so far apart you're throwing a long distance it was about 10 yards or so apart.

The battle got off to a slow start but then quickly picked up. Jugatsu had to go down to the first floor and bring up more snow for the snowballs. The castle down the hill was taken out which left only the other one left. AnakinseZ and Momiri were already out. The enemies only had two people left. Jugatsu was sure this victory was in the bag. After Jugatsu and Venus were taken out Skyld and Erica managed to win the round which allowed them to advance.

"The first rounds have ended the remaining teams are Jugatsu's team, Ryohirok's team, and Kite623's team,"Azara announced.

The winning teams went onto the stage and they were warped to the top of the mountain in the middle of the island. Jugatsu was barely to walk, he was cold enough as it was but now in the altitude the air was thin. He didn't want to show his weakness to Azara or she might get suspicious again.

"Okay...split off the same way we did before,"Jugatsu managed to get out,"Skyld's half go after Kite623."

Skyld nodded in acknowledgment. AnakinseZ was looking at Azara and Remial, they were still clueless to Jugatu's status.

"Okay begin,"Azara commanded.

They managed to get out two members of Kite623's team before AnakinseZ got hit. Jugatsu was too weak to participate well so he helped by keeping the snow in supply. One of Ryohirok's team members were taken out, then another one of Kite623's. Now there was Kite623 with two of his members, Ryohirok and four of his teammates, then Jugatsu, Skyld, Erica, Venus, and Momiri were left.

"Work on weakening Ryohirok's team since Kite623's team will be gone soon,"Venus said, as she took out a member Ryohirok's team.

Skyld continued to attack Kite623 while Erica started throwing snowballs at Ryohirok now. Two member of Kite623 were taken out, there was only one person left. The person managed to go take out Skyld before he was taken out himself. Ryohirok lost two members during this as well. Erica, Venus, and Momiri now had three people left to take out. They manage to take out two members then Erica was taken out. The last person on the other team took out Venus afterwards as well. Jugatsu was still in the game but wasn't even able to stand up at the moment. Momiri was the only one left who was able to fight back so it came down to this. They kept throwing snowballs at each other till eventually Momiri got lucky and managed to take out Ryohirok.

"The winner is Team Jugatsu,"Azara said after she warped every back down.

Jugatsu was cold but now he was a lot better he was able to hide the fact his body suffered damage. Azara walked over and gave each person a special item which would raise their stats some depending on the class. She then activated the items. Afterwards she warped everyone else back to the town. The group, Azara, and Remial still remained there though.

"What is it,"Jugatsu asked once he realized they were still there.

"I'm not to say the complete details, but Mac Anu is almost repaired and back to normal. There was an AI which caused the damage. This AI has been named Dusk, the company believes this is a bigger threat to the system then you. So we are to no longer pursuit you..."Azara answered.

"So we're off the hook?"AnakinseZ asked.

"On one condition, Jugatsu you must face me in a one on one duel if you win then I shall no longer worry about what you do,"Azara said drawing her sword.

"Sounds like fun, I still need some revenge from you giving me hell,"Jugatsu responded,"Just one question though before we start. Why are you so centered around me?"

"If you must know I tried to delete your accounts, you, AnakinseZ, and Skyld. Yet because of the bracelet, most likely, and those weapons you seem to be immune,"Azara answered.

Venus, Momiri, and Erica looked at each other confused. Jugatsu drew out his daggers. Azara began by running and slashing downwards on Jugatsu. He crossed his daggers and blocked the attack easily but was knocked back.

"Jugatsu is still weak from the cold, he's fighting this battle below what he should be,"Skyld said watching the battle.

Azara ran forward with another downward slash, but this time Jugatsu rolled to the side and dodged it. Then he jumped back on his feet, almost stumbling over. Azara threw her sword at where Jugatsu was standing, but Jugatsu knew if he kept dodging he wouldn't get anywhere so he darted forward and slid under the sword. As he passed the sword it's hit his shouldered and caused him to slip. He got up but his left arm was now half responding. Jugatsu was now between Azara and her sword which gave him the advantage so he went forward getting ready to attack. He tried thrusting his right dagger into Azara but she moved to the side and dodged it. She then jumped over Jugatsu and ran over to her sword. Jugatsu fell over after missing and was struggling to get up. The others wanted to help but knew it was better to stay out of it, Remial seemed like it was more entertaining. Azara took advantage of this opportunity and raised her sword getting ready to thrust it through Jugatsu. Jugatsu rolled and forced himself up. Then he started slashing at Azara, which caused her to have to block and it was knocking her back. Jugatsu meanwhile was starting to look pissed. He then slashed downwards with both daggers and knocked Azara onto the ground. She looked as though she had no idea what hit her.

"This damn wound..I'm not gonna lose.."Jugatsu said.

Azara looked at Jugatsu with confusion.

"You look as though you're hurt. That can't be though,"she said while she was getting back up.

Jugatsu was in so much pain now he couldn't even hold his daggers and they fell to the ground. He started to hold his shoulder in pain and fell to his knees.

"This battle is over,"she said as she put her sword back into it's scabbard.

She nodded at Remial and they warped away. Skyld and the others ran over to Jugatsu. Momiri cast repth to heal Jugatsu's wound.

"She was right..."Jugatsu said he sat up.

He still looked weakened but he seemed better.

"Now that she knows you feel pain what will she do?"Venus asked.

"She'll probably end up doing research into it,"Skyld answered.

Jugatsu stood up.

"Thanks Momiri. Sorry everyone since I couldn't defeat her in battle she won't leave us alone now,"Jugatsu said in a sullen tone,"From here on out I'm going to train more so I won't be so weak,"Jugatsu said as he warped back to town.

"There's no use staying here, let's go back also,"AnakinseZ said. Everyone agreed and they warped to town.

There, two chapters should satisfy you. This chapter was kinda long, right? Hope you people are satisfied.
