.hack/Morganna's End rewrite

Chapter 12

The first group stared at the chaos gate. The area choice was Bitter Fantasy Mirror World, the area where Morganna would be fighting. Elk felt the weight of the worried wavemaster against him. He knew if he had a choice, he would never fight without being by her side. However, he had to get revenge, revenge for how Morganna had done such an awful deed. "Helb, I have to...go..." Her arms removed regretfully, and she let him pass her as he crossed the bridge.

"Are you going to keep your promise?"

"Yes, I'll come back alive, I promise. I promise you I won't forget that promise." She looked up, nodding to him. He smiled back, being replied by a slight childish smile back. He approached the chaos gate. "Sorry I'm late."

"Don't worry, we'll be on time." Tsukasa said, letting Elk get used to what had been planned. The group took one last look around Mac Anu before warpping out. Helb's eyes stared at the chaos gate with some sort of expectantcy.

"Helb? Are you sick?" Wiseman turned to the woman, who had no intention of expressing her worry to him. Everything was betrayed by eyes, one good look in her eyes could reveal every emotion she hid.

"I'll be fine. I'm just nervous, that's all." Everyone but Wiseman was willing to leave her be. Sora was rather animated over what might happen. Grunty was used to this, he always had been used to it The chaos gate became rather boring to look at. "Any signal yet?"

"Yes, it's time to go."

Theta: Bitter Fantasy Mirror World

She looked at the characters facing her, smiling in an almost sickening manner. "So, you fools dare to challenge me?" Elk's eyes shined with a fire, and tried to start the first strike. However, Helba stopped him from it.

"Wait for Bear, Silver Knight, and Crim to react. We have to wait until she is in a vulnerable form for now. Cast healing, supporting and offensive spells from the back."

"What about Bear? What about Silver Knight?"

"Tsukasa, Subaru, you, and myself will wait. We have to be backup, just in case it doesn't work for now."

The doors were open, the stone around them in normal state. However, it was the monster in the middle that was different. Helb stayed back with Sora and Grunty, waiting for the opening they were promising her. Kite quickly made work with who they had, making good timing with timed attacks from Mizuru and Miho. DA would react quickly in healing. Everyone else was either attacking, healing, or even casting offensive spells or attacks. "Thunder Dance!" Kite's blades went across the monster's chest, Shugo's thunder dance hitting the monster's head. The path was beginning to open up, and Helb took the chance with Sora and Grunty covering almost the entire...

"Master, where are you going?"

The attack wasn't having much of an effect, in fact, it wasn't working as well as they thought. "Elk! You start to take an offensive!" Helba shouted to the watching wavemaster. He nodded, moving towards Morganna with his attacking spells.

"Vak Don!" Helba nodded to Tsukasa and Subaru, now the attacks were becoming more frequent. The plan was actually working, she turned towards what Wiseman was giving her about the attack on Kade.

Delta: Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground

Thread was on her, it hurt. Kade's threads were different than you would imagine. It was more of a mental pain than physical. Kade had put up a shield, which stopped most attacks from hitting his body at all. "Kade..."

"Master, where are you going?"

"I'm going to end this story." She took a deep breath, concentrating hard as Sora got up, having been hit by the sheild. His blade went through the invisible thread on her upper body. She stood, having Grunty and Sora follow her as she warpped at the purple triangle chaos gate.

She fell to her hands and knees, her hands slowly lifting her up. "Lios." She said to the adminastrator in front of her. She refused his offer of a hand, moving to a wooden bench.

"Helb, did you make it alright?" Reki looked at her concerened, Magi looking at her with more concern.

"Yeah, it's just like it's always been."

Delta: Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground

"Kite." Wiseman turned to the twinblade, he had hit the wall hard. He was lucky this wasn't a real world event.

"Yeah?"

"Do you think you could stick one of your blades in the barrier?"

"Why?"

"So I can break the barrier down."

"Okay, I'll use a spare one." The twinblade stood up, recieving cover from everyone that could convert to it. A spare amateur blade he had brought just in case lay in one of his hands. The other hand had is usual weapon, level 99. He pulled the weapon up, jumping and touching the top barrier. He quickly stabbed it in, being caught by Mizuru. Wiseman then took the deciding blow to the barrier.

"Gan Don!" The barrier broke down, now it was time for the counter.
