Chapter 20 of 26, enjoy.

Jugatsu was waiting at the Chaos Gate the next day, everyone was appearing with minutes of the last one. Skyld was the first one on, then AnakinseZ, afterwards Momiri and Erica almost logged on at the same time, Venus logged on last.

"Everyone's here now, we just need Remial to come,"Jugatsu said.

"It feels so weird today,"AnakinseZ said.

"The town isn't very active, but that's a good thing,"Venus said.

"Yeah, but not that. I mean like it feels like nothing will be after this."

"It should be that way, we don't want anything else to happen,"Jugatsu said staring at his bracelet.

He knew he was one of the most valuable people in this mission, although everyone else was needed to and with out them it wouldn't work, it felt like all the weight was placed on him.

"Don't worry guys, I'm sure everyone will come out of this alright, and even if one us does get hurt, Ju-kun will finish off Dusk and heal them,"Momiri said trying to take off the edge.

Remial logged on a few minutes later.

"I made the map for this,"Remial said walking by the crowd.

"Huh, made the map?"Skyld looked confused.

"Yes, I took Jugatsu's drawing plans and made a map. Along with it I added a few things here and there though, but overall it should give us a slight advantage."

"Alright what is it?"Jugatsu asked expecting to need keywords to enter to the Chaos Gate.

Remial chuckled, then raised his hand. All seven of them warped away. They appeared in a grassy field different then the others the grass was up to their waist, it came up higher on Momiri and Erica though because their characters were shorter. There was a clear spot with short grass close to the entrance. They walked over and began to look around. The field had a few windmills There were also a few large rocks slanted. The grass was thick also. The map was supposed to be made to fit what Jugatsu wanted so the rocks would be to run and jump at Dusk, the Windmill and tall grass were for hiding spots, and the clearing was for the melee combat for those not hiding. They began to look around and get a feel for the area, Remial just stood off to the side meanwhile content with himself. After getting a good feel for the the area they went over the plan one more time.

"So now everyone know where they're doing, and when to come out?"Jugatsu asked.

Everyone nodded.

"I'm heading behind the windmill over there,"Momiri said pointing at a windmill a bit north of the clearing," I come out when you do your first attack, Ju-kun"

"I'm fighting Skyld in the clearing to lure Dusk over and then I fight Dusk once he's trapped here,"Venus replied.

"I stand out of the way and wait until both AIs appear then I set up the shield,"Remial said.

"I'm fighting Venus, till Dusk comes,"Skyld said.

"I'm hiding until Dusk is distracted with you four then I jump in,"AnakinseZ said.

Erica nodded since she was doing the same thing. Everyone found a spot to hide except Skyld and Venus who were standing in the clearing.

"Don't hold anything back we need this to work,"Venus said.

"I know..."Skyld said drawing his sword.

Venus pulled out here spear and slammed it against Skyld's sword which he brought up to block. She brought her staff off and swipe it side ways. Skyld jumped back then ran forward once it passed, he went to stab into Venus but she brought he spear back and him hit in the head knocking him back. Skyld began spinning his sword around and ran towards Venus, she put her spear out to block it but the sword knocked it out of her hands. Skyld re-gripped his sword and went to attack Venus, but she pushed herself back grabbing her spear in time to bring it up and block it. The sardnox began to glow.

"Good Skyld is getting into it as long as he doesn't hurt Venus,"Jugatsu said to himself, hiding in the grass.

Venus used her spear has a javelin and put it in the ground which tossed her into the air. She held on her to spear and spun in the air. The spear came around and was about to get Skyld, he swiped his sword towards the spear. The sword went flying in the opposite direction and Skyld was knocked to the ground. He did manage to knock Venus's spear away also. They both made a dash for their weapon. Skyld got his first and turned around running to Venus who just pulled out her spear from the ground. They locked their weapon. The sardnox was glowing brighter now.

"Almost there,"Venus said.

Skyld nodded, he didn't like to fight girls but he put aside his morals in order to attract Dusk. They pulled there weapons back and tried to attack again but ended up locking. The sardnox was glowing bright now. Above them the white light began to show they quickly broke off and looked up. Dawn looked at them then began to scope the area.

"Dawn! Wait here we need your help!"Jugatsu yelled.

Dawn made a sad face and floated down towards the ground. A red light appeared and and Dusk was leering down at Skyld and Venus.

Yeah, for some reason or another I made this a chapter in it's own. I wrote this awhile ago as I've said, soes... Anyways reviews welcome and what not.

Part 2 info: The main character/hero in AIC is named Ryo Kuinichi. So needless to say the story follows him. Anyways the second biggest character at the moment seems to be Skyld, but as I've said that's just at the moment.
