.hack/ Morganna's End rewrite

Chapter 9

Aura's eyes couldn't believe what had just happened. Morganna had appeared, so she hid herself behind one of the pew pillars. She had not only done something with guts, but with a huge amount of risk. Bitter Fantasy Mirror world had been reopened, but for what reason?

Tania's Apartment

She stared at the dusty terminal, it was there. Her past was always there when she walked anywhere within her dark and often miserable apartment. The lights barely lit the apartment, The furniture just melded with the shadows. "Miho." The woman stood up, her hair slightly cowlicked. They were always awake before her, it had been a habit ever since old times.

"Yes?"

"Do I really have a choice in this situation?"

"I can't say that I can give you a definite answer on that. It would be best to at least capture Morganna, at least then you can decide what is best."

"What's so wrong with my death?" This question caused the woman to almost slap the other across the cheek. However, this was something that was more serious than anything they had spoken about. Death had always been part of a role to the young woman, but it wasn't something worth dying for. "Is it worth it to suffer like this?"

"Is it better to kill the link that has been there for so many years?"

"It's better just to let it all go...and then this world would not exist."

"Neither would Renny." Tania's eyes widened, if Renny hadn't been there when she was captured, would she have...

"I've been so worried, so I just looked around to see where I could find you. I was lucky I could find you in this server."

"Would he want you to give up your life after he went out of his way to save yours? Tell me, do you truly feel that you are alone in this anymore?"

"I don't care, everyone else can't do this. They have jobs and famalies to start taking care of. While I...I need to help you in my own way. Please let me hold you a little longer."

"He was helping you through one incident that could have gotten much worse. Can you really say that it is right to kill something that you used to love?"

"Do you really think we'll get out of here alive?"

Her eyes began to feel water fill them, what was this emotion she was feeling? Why could she feel hope when in the end she always felt without it? Why are the remaining strings trying to draw her in? "I...I..." The other watched with a slight satisfied look, Tania was selfish and she herself knew it. The woman didn't want to be a burden, so she withdrew from things without even accepting them. "Maybe...one last time...I could believe. Just like he did...in me." A tear fell from her eye, and she turned to Miho. "Get dressed please. I'm going to the meeting, I made my decision." Miho smiled pleased, Tania finally took her own initiative.

Morganna's Domain

The character was pulling flowers, staring at them with some sort of confusion. This was the monster that Helbaworshipper had helped create. This was the monster that would stop any attempt to harm the woman in any realm of life, at least from dying. "I have an idea, Kade."

"Is it how to get my master back?"

"Yes, do you want to know?"

"Will it truly bring my master back to me?"

"Yes, and soon we'll both be happy." The monster's innocent face smiled, and she allowed herself to fool the monster once more. They would both be happy, but it would be painful if it wasn't exact.

Helba's Work Area

The meeting was silent, nothing was going on. There was no place to start, the basis was gone. The chairs remained the same state, full. The leather was not comfortable in such silence. The silence might have stayed if the door hadn't been opened. "I decided." The attending people looked at the woman in the door, nodding a slight hello.

"What is your decision?"

"I'm going to help you."
