If I manage to keep getting the chapters in every other day then the last chapter should be up sometime around next month. Seems like a while, but it gives me more time to work on the second part.(Which I still think is better) Anyways, enjoy.
Jugatsu was walking around town trying to figure out why Dusk was after the Swords of Twilight, which he began to call them. He was walking around Mac Anu lost in thought. The town itself seemed to be on the path to recovery, the players were beginning to come back and anyone new would have no clue what took place. The rumors also began to die down some now that Mac Anu was back up most of the players must have thought it was over.
Jugatsu stopped by the weapon the shop and leaned against the wall. He started staring off into space when a twinblade passed by, this reminded Jugatsu he had to keep up his end of his deal. He sent a message to Zero telling him to meet by the Chaos Gate in Mac Anu. He then walked over to meet him. Jugatsu began to walk over the bridge and remembered the fight with Dusk, he looked around at the players walking by. They seemed so happy, Jugatsu thought, as though they had no problems. He began to chuckle. Not have problems everyone has some problems. If not, then the world wouldn't be in it's state, the real world he meant. While he didn't show it much, Jugatsu did have dark side, which inhabited him when is emotions arrived, his life caused him to lock his emotions away. He'd been able to keep away his darker side down for the last few months, learned to control it better then he did before. He continued walking to the Chaos Gate and arrived to find Zero waiting there.
"Making me wait when you are the one who called me over,"Zero said upon Jugatsu's arrival.
He began to shake his head in disappointment.
"Have you obtained any information?"Jugatsu asked.
Zero just looked over at him and paused.
"The only thing I've obtained recently is a rumor,"Zero replied.
Jugatsu had to laugh at this.
"I thought you didn't deal in rumors.,"he replied sarcastically.
Zero looked over a bit more serious then his usual carefree attitude.
"This one is more of a legend, if you will. It says with-in the world there are two swords, these swords are supposed to be the key to doing the impossible,"Zero began,"They say that these two swords with allow the wielder to escape to the real world, and grant ungodly powers,"Jugatsu looked over in slight surprise.
"Well it seems you've been of great assistance,"Jugatsu said beginning to walk away. Zero jumped over doing a few front flips to be flashy he then spun and landed in front of Jugatsu, looking at him.
"You're forgetting something, you have information for me. I saw it in your face don't deny it,"Zero said.
"Fine you caught me, but this information is very important. Do not utter a word to anyone else or I will end your life,"Jugatsu said in a serious tone.
Zero became wide eyed and fell backwards. If Jugatsu wasn't so serious about this he would have laughed about he the fear he just caused. After looking around he finally helped Zero up and began to speak.
"Dusk is after the Swords of Twilight. The rumor you heard is based on some fact to some degree I'm sure,"Jugatsu turned around and began to walk towards the Chaos Gate then paused. He had no idea what he was doing, but he felt something had to be done. If this was as serious as he was beginning to think it was then he had to stop Dusk as soon as possible. Jugatsu punched the wall shouting, he hated the fact he was powerless do anything. One of his biggest weaknesses, even when he was in the real world, was that his age and various other things prevented him making a change. Zero walked past him and whispered something as he walked by.
'Jugatsu, if you want to make a difference don't rush in.' is what he said. Jugatsu quickly turned around but Zero was gone. He began to doubt Zero was all he made himself out to be.
"He does have a point, I have to keep my composure, I have to wait until I get my chance,"Jugatsu admitted.
He lost track of the time by now and had no idea when anyone was going to log on. He walked back to his spot and soon he got a message from Skyld. It said to meet him and AnakinseZ at the Chaos Gate. He walked over and saw them sitting there. Just seeing them there carefree allowed Jugatsu to loosen up and lose the grave expression he had before.
"Heyooo,"AnakinseZ said waving as he saw Jugatsu approaching.
Skyld waved also as Jugatsu gave his half wave peace sign.
"I've figured out what Dusk is after, you two you should be careful from here on out,"Jugatsu said, feeling like he was in some cheesy movie.
"Right, so what's he after, you know why he's been attacking players?"Skyld replied.
"Dusk is after the Twilight Blade and Tasogare. I've begun to call them the Swords of Twilight. I heard a legend from Zero saying that with the swords Dusk would be able to escape to reality, and get 'ungodly' powers,"Jugatsu explained emphasizing the ungodly with a bit of sarcasm.
"So do we have a plan yet?"AnakinseZ asked.
"No we still need more information, before we can do anything towards solving this,"Jugatsu replied.
Oi, so I hope in the least you like characters, because a few of them make an appearance in the second one. Anyways, reviews and so on welcome.
