.hack/Morganna's End rewrite

Chapter 10

"Now that we have everything here that we need, there is the need for who will be where. There will most likely be two sets of battles. Everyone from CC Corporation that is helping us is listening through a video feed line." Helba pulled a glass of water to herself, taking a large sip of the glass. As much as she had wanted, she didn't want to force Tania's help out. "Who will be fighting Morganna?"

"I'm going to fight her." An turned towards Helba, who began typing in a lap top. Mariko looked at An with a slight doubt. However, she was not one to leave anyone alone, especially...

"I will be going as well." However, a man in a business suit nodded in agreement to the statement.

"I'll help Mariko." Crim nodded, and almost at the same time Ginkan had agreed to help as well. That wasn't surprising, considering he had a severe protection need for Mariko. Crim slightly hit Ginkan on the head, letting everything simply silence from the words he knew were about to leave the knight's mouth.

"I want to help too." Kureno's eyes looked at Helba from afar, but she could see a fire. One that had not burned in his eyes until he had met Tania. Ryou made a nod to join the group without much noise, he was a writer, after all.

"I will be going with this group as well, Helb...is something wrong?" Tania's body had stood up, something she had never really boldly done. She turned to Helba, who stopped typing to listen to what she had to say.

"However this fight may matter, the second fight is one that will be the hardest to do. The second fight will include a monster that you saw in the last incident. However, that was just a copy of the monster that truly exists. That monster is something that has protected who I represent in my role, I thought he was dead. I was wrong about the truth, however, this monster will always exist. It protects my very life, and will even after I die." She took a deep breath, wiping the tears from her eyes. "The monster isn't doing this attack for any flawed reason...the reason is because I'm its master. Please, when you fight him, please do so with the idea he is not a monster." A sob escaped her crying body. "He is an innocent boy who wishes only the best." Helba's eyes widened, when did Tania talk of Kade as a boy?

"What do you mean?"

"In the second epitaph, Kade was a young boy who met the Maiden of the Twilight Balance. No one knows this because you have to read well within the lines made in the epitaph. Only I have really interpreted it fully. Kade turned into a monster to protect the woman who helped him and protected him from danger once. He was never a monster, but it turned out that he became very protective. Please, do not doubt my idea." Helba nodded, and the woman sat down.

"Well, who will be joining the second fight?"

Morganna's Domain

"Kade, it is time to begin." Morganna's form stood, looking at the character model change into a monster. It was a beautiful monster, full of jealous protection when provoked the right way.

Helba's Work Area

"I want to go." Kite said as he quickly made a decision. Morganna couldn't be destoryed by the bracelet, but the fact is that Kade could be contained that way. Blackrose made a quick notion as in agreement with it.

"Then I'll go too!" Shugo yelled out, which made the other three in his usual party nod. Hotaru was in America, but it was sad to go in things with such knowledge sometimes. The four shook it off, knowing it would be a good tale to tell the girl.

"I'll go, besides, it'll help relay messages." Wiseman said, hearing Helba type on the lap top and nod in agreement.

"Mizuru, I, and DA will help face Kade." Miho nodded as she said this, Helba knew they knew more than she probably did. However, it was another teen that caught their attention.

"I want to help as well!" The voice was familiar, Sora.

"You can help me get to the chaos gate, Sora." It was Tania who answered him, almost in complete agreement with the teen. Helba nodded, then took a deep breath.

"Grunty will help with Sora's postion. However, Magi, Reki, Kamui, Balmung, and Lios have decided to help in the other end. They will be at the wooden cathedral, Tania." The meeting continued for an hour more, and adjourned.
