.hack/Revenge and Twilight rewrite

Chapter 4

Reki's body lie against the rather soft ground, the white area was rather soft. Everything in his head was dizzy to him. The world had become a new concept to him, the elder wavemaster that had been talking to them knew so much. "Reki, you shouldn't lie down like that." His composure was in a position most would say is normal, but Magi knew it was not because of this. Reki's fever was rather lax, considering most of the time no one really noticed it.

"Magi."

"Yes?"

"What are we supposed to do now?" He sat up slightly, feeling a bit light headed. He fell back, but was surprised that arms were around him. He could see Magi's arms holding him slightly, as if she was more worried that she wanted to show.

"I don't know, but you have to rest. It's best you have enough rest to deal with any quick actions." His body moved to meet her slightly, feeling a tighter grip around him. He looked up at her face. "Please...Fujio." Tears were leaving her eyes slightly, she didn't want him to be hurt like this. She felt the form in her arms relax,eyes shut rather comfortably. She smiled, continuing to hold Reki with her utmost protection. The other two seemed different, it was like one of them was a mother. The female, Helbaworshipper was simply thinking. However, the male, Elk was embracing her tightly for some reason. She focused on their voices slightly, becoming very aware of a struggle.

"Helb...you have to just try! We can't be here forever."

"On the contrary, this is the safest place to be. Morganna doesn't intend to kill us...we should just leave it to fate."

"What if it's our fate to get out of here?" He looked at her directly, her eyes looked hurt. Not only that, but they were scared. Tears were leaving her eyes, but she didn't take any notice of her crying. "Helb, you can't give up yet!"

"I just want this story to end!" She covered her face, pushing away from him as she sobbed against her hands. Her body was twisted slightly, her sobbing loud and it looked as if she was losing herself. She refused his touch, and by some sort of strength, Elk pulled her against him tightly. She fought his grip, but found he had no real weakness within it. "I just want to...be happy...I just..."

"I know you're scared. I know that you have no peace of mind. I know that, but I know that you also need to keep hoping. It'll end one day, I know it will." Magi's eyes became wide, why had this? What was Helb's character doing within the world? Why was it she had no peace? Could it be possible that the world is not running at it's full perameters? She held Reki tighter, she wanted to tell this to Kamui, no...to the world itself. All this time, she thought the world wasn't that complex, but...could the black box be responsible. It had all been a rumour, did it really exist though? Even though she was supposed to be figuring a way out, new information kept coming into Reki and herself.

"What is this world supposed to do...I don't understand..." Her body felt its own calling, falling asleep against Reki. Their bodies fell to the ground, Reki's arms around her body.

As Reki and Magi were learning, and Helb and Elk were despairing, planning was being done. However, it was obvious that the group was going to soon find a light. In the middle of a deep ideal of how to figure out the keywords or servers, it appeared. The chaos gate revealed the desired character all wanted to see. "Planning to find my hostages?" His smile smirked sickly, and the voice was no doubt Morganna's voice. Before they attacked the long arm, she spoke again. "Well, I'll tell you how my plan works. There are a series of nine dungeons with a 'key'. Those keys open up the area to reach your so called friends and helpers. Each dungeon will be posted on the recorder's shop on a small slip of paper. When you find all the keys, which you must do so in a group of three, you'll face a foe in that area. Defeat that foe, and you'll save them. I'll be waiting, idiots." The male longarm smirked sickly once again, it's form leaving within red rings.

"Well, we got what we needed." Helba's voice cut through the silence, not really leaving anything to guess. "Now, we have to figure out where to go to first. If possible, we have to find a way to mix knowledge. We have to make groups of five to start with." She turned to Balmung, who took a deep breath before returning to his serious state. He pointed to Tsukasa to start, who took a look around for a few minutes before deciding.

"Well, Helba, Kamui, and Balmung should moniter our backs." The three nodded in agreement before he continued. "And since each group should have a Morganna powered character, Shugo, Kite, and I should decide on groups." He then pointed to Kite, who took a few minutes before deciding on the team he would take.

"I'll take Blackrose and BT." He looked at the two, who nodded slightly. He pointed then to Shugo, who probably knew who he was taking or not.

"I'll take Rena and Mireille." Shugo nodded slightly, leaving Tsukasa to decide his own party.

"I'll take Subaru and Wiseman." Tsukasa looked at the numbers, realizing two were not in a party. Balmung made a slight nod to what he was going to do with them.

"The last two will make a task at decoding the clues, and protecting the ones who are monitering your backs. It is the least they can do, while having a purpose. Also, we've put all healing and recovering items to the maximum. We've also stocked the scrolls at the max as well, we'll put them to the amount they were at a later time. When the first word comes up, the first group goes."

Omega: Light Filled Darkness

There wasn't much to do, not stuck there as if there was no escape. Helb's outburst had ceased, and the calm look returned. Tear streaks still were there as the looked out of her eyes. "I'm sorry, Elk..." She felt a hand touch her own.

"Don't worry about it." A smiling Elk looked at her, hope filled her being. "Those two seem to be close as well, don't you think?" She laughed slightly, thinking of the difference. Their relationship was probably more romantic than a friendship. The two sleeping were rousing slightly, the male's blue eyes were opening. The female's red eyes were half open, probably enjoying being near the male.

"Hey." They were looking at the two of them, it wasn't possible anything else was happening. What else was really there to see? She looked at the two, turning her head slightly.

"Yes?"

"You think we could join you two?"

"Sure, there's nothing better to do."

The recorder began to react, a piece of paper falling onto the counter. Words on it were barely anything but a plain area. Kite looked at the piece of paper, handing it to the three moniters. "Well, you can go now. We'll keep you safe as we can manage to do so." Balmung noted, watching the first group take the first area on. "This is a test, I suppose."

Sigma: Torn Simple Answer

The area looked simple enough,it was a darkness field. There was grunty food, no real portals to speak of. Kite stared slightly at the area, looking towards the dungeon entrance. "Well, here goes nothing."
