.hack/Revenge and Twilight rewrite

Chapter 3

Kamui stood looking at the deserted town of Mac Anu, searching for clues to why and what had changed this town so radically. All of this seemed to be emitting from the chaos gate. "Balmung, your theory have any proof at this?" The winged blademaster simply stared at the town, almost as if he had seen what happened.

"The datalogs."

"What?"

"Tell me, how many players were in this server at two in the morning."

"It started at-"

"I know when it started, tell me when it ended it's first phase. Tell me what players are still logged into this server." He turned to the long arm, slightly softened, but also more determined. She looked at the list, then turning white slightly. "What is it?"

"The logs say that Reki and Magi were in this server about an hour ago. Their data is unable to be located in any server." This also worried Balmung, why had Reki disobeyed him and not go home? He looked back at Kamui, who now was worried about Magi.

"Who else was logged in here earlier?"

"After the blocking began, two characters were here. Two wavemasters, Helbaworshipper and Elk." Balmung's suspicions had been true, Helb's character had a perameter that cloaked itself. He could tell it was way above the perameters that could be read, though. "Have your suspicions been answered?"

"Yes, and my guts tell me that this won't be easy. Send an email to the following players, and request they come to headquarters immediatly. Also, make a note to evacuate the world for the next few days." The knights looked a Kamui, who nodded a yes to his commands. They then logged off to do what Balmung had told them to do.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course. If Helb is involved, the world is not only in danger, it is made into a mad house. This is all the games doing, it's not dead."

"The game?"

"Morganna mode gone."

Omega: Light Filled Darkness

Reki's eyes opened, white was everywhere he looked. "Reki?" Magi's voice reached him, and he looked towards her. "I can't bring up any key words, and it says we're in the delta server." She sat beside him, trying to bring up any idea of where they were.

"I wouldn't do that. You won't get anywhere." This sent the two to look at the other two they had just noticed. One was a wavemaster dressed in almost identical robes as the other, but was female, and the hair reached down to her shoulders. The hat in her outfit had been removed, and she looked frail. The other wavemaster was resting on her lap, using her hat and lap as a slight pillow. He was obviously male.

"What do you mean?" Reki stood, Magi coming along with him as he approached the elder wavemaster. "What do you know that we don't?"

"Well, from what I can tell, that longarm model has a history with one of you." She pointed to Magi, who was confused at this act.

"What!"

"Morganna is using that character model, which of course has an attraction to capture you. I would say that you are quite lucky. That model still has some sort of signifigance, since the tolerance for change is greater. However, I believe your so called player to that character is probably under Morganna's control."

"You mean, Daemon...is really just doing things a game wants him to do?"

"She probably made a deal with him, if he did something for her, she would get him what he wanted. Which is probably you." Her face was calm as she said this, almost as if she wasn't human or really that happy with the effect of what was going on.

"He doesn't play anymore, it's not possible."

"Then I guess it's a data bug, or maybe a vagrant AI based on his data. You never know." Reki knew something about this wavemaster was wise, even beyond system understanding.

"Tell us what you know is going on."

CC corporation headquarters

A group of people stared in awe at the building, it was constructed nicely and full of the latest technology. They had recieved emails, calls, and even private visits of urgent need. The instructions were clearly stated, they were to come to the headquarters, and log into the Mac Anu Server. Maybe more information would be given there, maybe was importance to the server problems.

Mac Anu

Shugo stared towards who was staring at them, Balmung himself was there. "Uh, Balmung? What is it?" However, it was Tsukasa who made the first move to interrupt and come to the point.

"You said that Elk and Helb were missing."

"I did, would you all please sit down and listen?" Shugo and Rena noticed Kamui's shifting. Something was scaring her, she had never seen a Balmung more serious than herself. Tsukasa, Subaru, Crim, and BT sat against the recorder wall. Kite, Blackrose, Wiseman, and Helba sat making a slight corner. Shugo, Rena, Ouka, and Mirielle sat making a slight triangle of all three. That was all Balmung could get on short notice, but it was enough, at least he hoped.

"Well, from the data I've gathered, four people are missing. Two are lackies of Kamui and myself. On research, no coma situations or emergency situations were at all reported. They are just peacefully asleep for the time being. We've confirmed the source as Morganna." Helba laughed slightly, but she began to voice her ideas.

"At twelve-thirty am, a subtle data surge caused the players in Mac Anu to be forced out of the game. However, three people remained within the server. Two were Helbaworshipper and Elk, however...the third was confirmed as either a vagrant AI or a data bug. At about two-thirty am, two people from CC corporation logged into the Mac Anu server. The third figure thought or had lingering memories of one of them, and took them. They were Reki and Magi. It is confirmed they are still on the Delta server. However, there are no keywords listed other than the root town itself." At this point, all were listening. "Now, we begin to plan a retrieval effort. However, considering the situation-"

"We first achieve a way to find where they are." Kamui interrupted, her eyes rather scary at the moment.
