HYAA! I'm back! I'm very sorry for taking such a long time to update this fic. Don't worry! I WILL CONTINUE ON WITH THE SERIES! Those of you who though it was dead, SHAME ON YOU! Nya, Just kidding.
Anyway, enough ranting, here it is:
CHAPTER 4: OPERATION POCKET
It was a nice day outside. Kite walked around his neighborhood pondering over the recent events in the digital realm.
'Hmmm… Another set of phases… ugh… to think something like this would happen again. Well, I guess I'll have to go back to my normal habits…' he thought. Playing the world the first time around with the original phases took a lot of time from his other tasks like schoolwork. 'But if these phases plan to harm others, than I'm willing to do it all over again!'
Meanwhile in a nameless area…
"Is everything ready on your end Mr. Maggot?" The Giant Present box asked though a communicator window.
"Yes. Programming of the field is done." The phase said.
"Excellent. Now, all we have to do is send the e-mail. You did type it up didn't you?"
"Yes sir. It's ready."
"Alright good. Now send it!"
"Right away." Within a few moments, e-mail was sent straight to Kite's inbox.
"Hey, a message." Kite said to himself, opening the letter.
GONGRATULATIONS!
YOU HAVE BEEN PICKED RANDOMLY FOR NO APPERANT REASON AND HAVE WON $1,000,000 !
The young boy's eyes widened
'This isn't… really? I'm rich! YEEESS!' He jumped up off his seat and danced around (XP)
"WHAT?" The present box screamed "MAGGOT! You sent the wrong one!"
"Yes sir… my apologies…" Maggot said as he sent the correct one."
"Hm? Oh, another message" he clicked the letter and it opened.
HELP ME KITE! I'm trapped in Omega: Small Spherical Creatures! Some big huge monster is forcing me to do bad things and is beating me senselessly. Ohhh… the agony! Help me! OW! He hit me in the head! Aggh! My arm is breaking! HEEEELLLPPP!
Your Friend,
Piros
Kite looked at the email with a raised eyebrow, questioning the context of the message.
'Would someone really be willing to type all that out in the midst of a battle?' he thought. It sounded too farfetched, so he let it slide. Plus, inside, he really didn't want to go through Piros and his theme song that would always come on whenever he was in the party.
"…… he hasn't logged yet." Mr. Maggot said to the Box.
"YOU IDIOT! YOU PUT DOWN THE WRONG NAME!" Box yelled through the communication window.
"…oops… lemme try again…"
"and use a different message as well! He'll get suspicious if we use the same one."
"Hm? Another message…"
KITE! PLEASE! HELP ME! I'm trapped in Omega: Small Spherical Creatures with some Giant monster I can't beat! Oh gosh! HELP! GGGGAAAAHHH! OH GAWD! It's ripping into my intestine shredding them up and making them fly all over with blood dispersing into the air and I'm loosing consciousness and I have to wrap up this e-mail. HELP MEEEEE!
Love,
Blackrose
'Whoa… this looks serious…' The young boy thought as he slipped on the headset, took the controller into his hands and logged in. His blue haired, red-clad avatar appeared by the Chaos Gate in the Delta Server.
"Hi Kite" Natsume said as she saw the fellow Twinblade enter the Root Twon.
"Hello Kite I was wondering if you-" Terajima started to say behind Natsume but was cut off.
"Sorry girls, I can't talk now. Gotta get to Omega. Blackrose is in a lot of trouble." He said as his avatar disappeared to the Omega Server.
"Hmm?… something tells me something is wrong with this…" Terajima said to Natsume.
"I agree. I'm getting a strange feeling about this."
"What do you say we follow him?"
"Let's do I!" with that both of the girls warped to the Omega server where they caught to Kite before he could use the chaos gate again.
"Kite! We wish to help you in your task." The heavyaxe wielder said to Kite.
"Yes. I'll help as well!" Natsume said after her.
"Alright. It'll be easier in a group as well" he quickly accessed his menu and added the two girls to his party and warped to Small Spherical Creatures
"Oh no… not again…" Kite said to himself. The screen showed him to be in another two-dimensional level with his avatar looking somewhat like a chibi figure along with Natsume's and Terajima's. .
"ALAS WE MEET BEARER OF THE BRACELET!" A text box at the bottom of the screen displayed.
"Huh? Who are you?" Kite's message read.
"I am… Mr. Maggot, the Presentation!"
"…"
"…what?"
"…'the Presentation?'"
"Look! I didn't ask for that name, okay? Ahem… anyway, it's time I send your avatar to it's maker!"
"But… I'm the one who made my avatar."
"I mean I will send it to…GAH! Forget it! Battle on!" With those words said, the screen flashed a couple times before the display set showed a pixilated sprite of Kite from the back facing Phase 3.2.
"Alright, enough, hand over Blackrose!"
"haha! Wow, you're gullible. I sent that E-mail!"
"Wha..?" Kite's window said, bewildered. His thoughts returned to the phase when its sprite moved shifted forward Kite took damage to his HP to which the health meter was now placed next to his avatar. 'Ugh…. Concentrate… now how do I attack in this mode?..' it only took a second for him to find the Attack option on the screen with a list of all the attacks a Twinblade possesses.
Back in the Delta Server, Blackrose sat by the ledge of the road, feet almost touching the water.
'Sigh… No one is online! I wish something would happen…' As if on cue, a chime rang in her headset as a new message arrived in her inbox. 'Well, speak of the devil' she thought as she exited the World to check it out.
OH GOSH! IT'S HORRIBLE! I'M BEING KILLED IN Lambda: Hideous Falling Shapes! MONSTER ARE COMING FROM ALL DIRECTIONS AND ARE RIPPING ME TO SHREADDS AND CRUSHIGN EVERY SINGLE BONE IN MY BODY! GGGAAAHHH!
Love,
Kite
"Whaaa? What the hell is happening?" She logged back in quickly and took the Chaos Gate to the Lambda Server.
Kite's HP was running low. 'Items…let's see…here it is Health Drink. Lucky this battle is turn based!' he thought as he gulped down the health drink, restoring part of his HP.
Mr. Maggot's was still fairly healthy. "Fool! I will obliterate you and delete you and that funny hat of yours!"
"Not quite yet… DRAGON RAGE (Do you see any irony in this?)" Kite's window displayed as his avatar was shown moving quickly slashing at Mr. Maggot as trails of fire followed his two short swords, lowering its HP significantly. "NOW! DATA DRAIN!" Five arrows of blue and green shot out at Mr. Maggot, binary digits surrounding the Phase's sprite. The digits flashed three times before they stopped and the arrows returned to Kite's wrist. 'Virus Core M has been added to inventory' was displayed at the bottom of the screen. As soon as the message window closed, the field reverted back to a normal Three-dimensional field as all the others.
"Phew… That's 3 down 5 to go. Hm?" Kite looked around" '…where did Natsume and Terajima go?' he wondered, not seeing them anywhere on the map.
Blackrose entered the Lambda server and found Mistral standing by it.
"Hey there! Where are you headed off to?" She said in her well known bubbly voice.
"Mistral! Hey, Kite's in trouble, we need to head to Lambda: Dangerous Falling Shapes!"
"Oooo. Alrighty. Let's…. uh oh…. The baby's crying. I'll catch up to you. Give me a moment." Mistral said as she left the terminal, leaving her avatar standing idly next to the gate.
"Alright, let's see…" the heavyblade punched in the three keywords and warped…
"So… the third one has fallen as well. No matter. Fidgeter!" The Present Box yelled.
"Yes boss?"
"How are the plans for the next Step?
"They're all prepared. I believe Kite's ally fell for the bait."
"Excellent. Soon, everything shall fall into place. I shall gain control over the entire World. And nothing shall stop me! HAHAHAHA! WWHAHAHAHAHAH!
"Um…yeah.." the phase said as it closed the link between it and the box as it continued its maniacal laughter.
NEXT CHAPTER: OPERATION BLOCKS
Big Trouble! Blackrose is out fighting a phase and no Bracelet to help clear its invincibility. It's Kite to the rescue but it won't be so easy with what Fidgeter has in store for him. And where exactly did Natsume and Terajima go? Find out next tie in Chapter 5. Until then, see ya!
A/N: Oh, for those who didn't get it earlier, DRAGON RAGE is a higher leveled version of TWIN DRAGON, the fire based twinblade attack. It's also the name of the Dragon type attack in the pocket monsters series that the current battle was based off of. Funny how they appear to have the same name huh?
