"BEEEP BEEEP NEW E-MAIL" The monitor rang before it shut off... And then once more before all the power died. Shugo could hear it, but there was no time, Rena was being rushed off the hospital. At the hospital,Shugo could smell the sterile enviornment, and it started to get on his nerves. The doctor came later and gave an analyisis, and said that he had never seen anything like it. While in a coma a persons heart beat drops significally low. But in her case, it would switch between 3 paces. Normal, fast, ans slow and that it could be fatal if it kept up at that rate. The doctor could only say that he had seen something like this, more like heard, in an even about four years ago.

Four years ago... Weren't we searching on stuff about that? Shugo was recalling when they were searching on info to help Zefie... Maybe, I should talk to Aura. What am I thinking? Games at a time like this, Rena was in some type of life and death situatio. But...I...I'm sure that the answer that I'm looking for is in The World...

I got back home later... After talking to the doctor that she just suddenly fell asleep. My parents were crying, and said that I could skip school tomorrow... There was only a few people that I could tell about this... Shugo sat in front of the television, rubbing his hand against the sofa, feeling the saft warm texture. "We bring you a special news bulletin, a 4 year-old child was old placed into intesive care, being watched for a coma. The statement from the doctor was that she was probably playing a game to much also known as the World... Parents be advised to place caution into the number of hours your kids play games. This could be some type of new-" Shugo turned off the t.v.

Huh? That seems familiar. I wonder. It was already 11 in the morning and Rena was sleeping in the hospital. The game was on stand-by after the event. Maybe I should check the BBS board? What am I thinking? I don't have the kind of will to look around the net for info... That was always Mirelle's job... Wait... Nah it can't be.

Shugo reached for the phone and looked at an adress book of all his friends. He had her number, but he couldn't help but feel extrememly worried. So he dialed the number most reluntantly and waited for an answer.

"Hello?" The voice was under some rather deep distress.

"Hello may I speak to Mirelle?"

"Shugo is that you?" Shugo was surprised to hear the voice. It was an elderly woman, not old but probably in her late 20'.

"Miss-" he was cut off from his reply.

"Oh my god..." She was crying... "Shugo, she's in intensive care," Shugo's horrible hunch had been correct, and he started to worry that he had jinxed the problem.

"Uh... Miss I-"

"Just call me Mistral."

"Er Mistral... What happened?"

"What do you think? She was playing the world... And suddenly this erie theme went off at full blast... the same theme that they used..."

"Theme what theme?"

"The phases, from four years ago..."

"Did you try to take off the haedset?" He was retracting from his problem.

"I tried, but, but then I heard it... Just like Kite used, but it was a different name... And they could talk now it could talk..." She was sobbing terribly, and Shugo couldn't help but feel like he had something to with the event."Shugo I'm gona call you later..."

"Whats wrong Mistral?"

"I gotta call Kite..The dot hackers..." The name rang through my head,it sounded vaguely familiar. She hung up before Shugo could say anything. He looked at the monitor, noticing the core of all their problems. He turned it on, watching if something was going to happen, like if the same white background would falsh up, but it didn't. There were two new emails. He remebered that they were from before they left.

The first one he read had a blurred out name, as did the face. He opened it regardles, of worrying about as virus. It was from Aura...
