.hack/Revenge and Twilight rewrite
Chapter 7
Elk stared at Helb's figure slightly, her eyes looked just as they always did. Pain was obvious in those eyes, the eyes that seemed to forever cycle pain and sorrow. Her body no longer moved that much, it was as if she had been stuck in a bad dream. "I was once...stuck in my subconcious..."
"Helb?" Elk moved closer to her, setting himself down to hold her hand slightly. "What is it?"
"I was once stuck like this, stuck in my subconcious. I couldn't get out, and everything was fake. It was terrible, it was almost as if I was dying. I didn't want to die, but I didn't care what happened. If dying got me out of there, I would have killed myself. Elk, I don't know if I'll ever get out." This caused him to feel his emotions soar in anger. How could this have happened? He didn't know what she was ever talking about anymore.
"Helb, you're speaking in something I don't know. When did this happen?"
"Before my Coma, it was a person I was recklessly following. He gave me something more than I would give myself, and I would die if I had to for him. However, when this happened, I don't believe this story will ever end."
"Story?"
"My role." She sat up, looking at her wrists again. "My role may never be fulfilled, I may never find peace. No matter how much I give up, he tries to save me. He always has."
"Who?"
"A person we all know as god, who created life. This game has a god above Morganna Mode Gone, and he is a god above all. He exists like Morganna, but exists to fulfill the roles he placed within this game. You know him as Harold Hoerwick. That's the reason I do so much that you don't know, go to the hospital as much as I do, do things that you believe I shouldn't."
"Why haven't you told me this before? I mean, it's important we help you, right?"
"Not when it is not your role to fulfill." However, Helb's eyes remained the same. Tears would have formed in her eyes if this was the first time she had said it, but she had said it more than she had ever had the nerve to be asked of it. She no longer cared if she died or not, she wanted this story to end. However, an end would not come, not until a break came to them. That would not come for awhile, her story wouldn't end, if she died. "My role will end when I know it is possible, power is not possible in the determination of a role. It is an advantage, and so far, she has the advantage...she is the one...with the advantage." Magi and Reki were far too preoccupied to even see what the other two were doing. The two were in a desperation to find a way to communicate, because some sort of connection had been made to the Delta server.
"Reki, have you found the connection line yet?" Her face contorted slightly, and she clutched at the somehow strange computer in front of each of them. They didn't care where they had come from, but it was just as well they didn't find out.
"I think it's through the sigma server, do you see anything on your end?"
"I think I see it, can you widen the other server connection?"
"Yeah, Just a minute."
"I got the connection, you send a message to Balmung. I'll send one to Kamui." Vigoruous typing was heard from them, which Helb and Elk looked at with a slight notice. They had no means to get out to begin with, so, those two only found a way to communicate. It would only cause more security to come into the area.
Mac Anu
Balmung's monitering was interrupted by a flash mail on top of his head. He wondered who would be flash mailing him, but read carefully when he saw it was from Reki.
Subject: Finally
Magi and I found a communication line through a few servers, however, this is the only means we have for now. There are two others with us, that seem to be unable to do anything with connections. Either that, or they know something we don't. I pray that you get this message, because there is no way out. Reply if you have gotten this. I don't know if I'll be able to answer, but I'll be able to try and answer back.
Reki.
"Kamui, have you got a message from Magi?" He looked towards the long arm slightly, she had been eyeing all the new people supposedly working with one of the captured players. However, she was reading a flash mail as well.
"Yes, but it was cut off at the last three words, she may have figured out where they were."
Omega: Light Filled Darkness
The two saw the keyboards break, Magi's mind unable to figure out why. A strange green blob that looked like two tennis balls connected by a ring had destoryed them. Helb looked to the two, who in turn went to speak to her. "I didn't think that you two would do something so obvious." She stated this blantantly, thinking of what could have happened instead.
"Well, what else are we supposed to do?"
"Wait." Her eyes gazed at Magi slightly, who looked about annoyed at the fact something was said to cause more time to be wasted.
"I don't think we should, something bad could happen to us as we wait."
"Something always does, no matter if you wait or not." She now gazed at Reki, who now silenced himself. The two had figured out that no matter what happened, they had to wait for an opening that would come unexpectedly. "Besides, three more vines will allow us a break that Morganna doesn't want us to see."
Omega: Chosen Hopeless Doll
The long arm now was infuriated, her mind was now on high alert. Three data guardians had been sent in, ones like the ones she had given to Tsukasa a long time ago. She had to stop them, but she knew if the last three snapped, she would have to do what she had planned before. If such a thing happened, her mind would think it impossible to turn back. "I can't stand it...I have to do something...I have to figure out something, before they get out of there."
Fort Ouph
DOS slowly observed the clouds, finding patterns that he hadn't seen before. "I don't know why you're so calm." He turned talking to the counterpart he had once tried to kill. However, they were both the same now, and it wasn't really much of a problem.
"Well, it's not like I'm actually calm. It's more like I'm so worried it can't show on my face. However, there has always been something I've learned about Helb."
"What is that?" The one observing the clouds said, turning slightly thoughtful at it.
"She's always come back, almost as if she had the power to. She has the power to do anything, yet she keeps doing it only when she needs to. It never occurs to you that she's weak, on the contrary, she's the one convincing herself of that. She's the strongest person I know."
"I guess you're right. I just hope that I'll get to see her again."
Carmina Gadalica
"Why did we leave again DA?" Miho turned towards the blademaster to better understand his intentions.
"I hate to see that look at me, the one Kamui was giving me. System Adminastrators are all idiots sometimes, I couldn't stand being near her. Besides, I needed a break to think. Mizuru and yourself can handle the looks."
