Chapter 5: Journey
"Everyone down!" Kasia said pulling everyone's heads down into the brush with him. "Look CC corp." he whispered. The others looked up and saw Leonheart and his friend and allied Tiffany.
"Why are we hiding from them the three of us are stronger than the two of them right?" Argent lam whispered.
"Well I'm a "level 78" and Kaisa is only level 22. And you're a super being." Kunar looked down upon them and then turned his gaze back
"So we can take them." Argent said.
"No he's a level 67 and his partner is level 67 plus they have the CC corp. powers at their disposal. That means they can call for back up give our descriptions etc." Kunar whispered to Argent.
Argent blankley stared up at Kunar. Sighing Kunar began, "You know how the old days the cops always won no matter what because they had cause and radios."
"Yes." Argent said
"That's what I'm trying to say." Glaring at Argent.
"Hey where'd they go?" Kaisa said.
"What do you mean?" Kunar looked up and saw that their footprints in the grass had vanished into nothing. Argent stood up and jumped over to where their foot prints ended.
"Hmm there wasn't a flash so they didn't gate out." Argent said looking down and feeling the grass.
"It's because we're above you!" Leonheart said landing on Argents head sending him into the ground. Leonheart's sword was out and he was waiting for Argent to struggle.
"Don't move." Tiffany said stepping out from the brush behind Kaisa. "Hacker Kaisa, you are now under arrest from the CC corp. and you will surrender your pass code and you will never play this game again."Wait where's the other--"
"DATA WARP!" The field was suddenly changed to lava and the four fell down towards the bottom. A magic platform was placed where Argent and Kaisa were and Tiffany and Leonheart kept falling.
Kaisa pulling out his staff looked down and said, "Data warp? What kinda spell is that?"
"The Kind of spell that saves you." Kunar said floating down towards them from the sky demon wings extended in him floating. "Now move the environment is changing back."
Kaisa and Argent looked down and saw the prairie once more.
"Impressive." Leonheart smirked, "But I can fly too." The group looked up to see Leonheart holding Tiffany and then landing 10 yards away. "You must be the Purple Demon Kaisa; we've been looking for you for some time."
"I bet you have but I'm afraid I'm now more powerful than the CC corp. can handle. My team can destroy any army you send at us." Kunar smiled.
"That's right," Kaisa said summoning his staff from the air "We can take the both of you easy." Argent now looking at his binary Quan Do lifted it towards the battle ready position.
The three stood ready to pose and fight to the death while Leonheart and Tiffany weighted their options. The prairie grass was golden and was now getting lifted off of the ground by the wind which was picking up; they were in for a storm.
Finally Leonheart drew his sword and said, "Well I was getting sick of hunting people down Tiffany. Some fighting might come as entertainment." Leonheart breathed.
Tiffany drew her now glimmering sword its brilliance only matched by her beauty. "And if we before our journeys through all is well..." She muttered these words as the wind seemed to carry them away.
"That was very impressive. Not very many people can destroy a mass of virused bodies in a single move let alone survive a blow from one." A soft voice came from the hallway I was now entering. "Then again who can expect anything less from a character called Recompense. It took me forever to figure out that word since the real meaning for it is so old. You are here for a reason here aren't you. Not for U.R. there is something else calling you to do your job. CC corp., no it couldn't be. I guess you could juts be driven from your own code of honor. Silver Recompense." The soft melodic voice spoke.
Looking around I saw no one speaking this room was entirely dark except for the door that was now spinning around in front of me. "Who are you and why do you know or care so much about me?" I said to the door it now spinning and creating wind making my silver armor begin to blow with the wind.
"Not surprising" The voice now laughed as the door grew darker and looked older. "You always felt a pride in your name, don't get me wrong I don't look into regular players accounts but I feel that I should at least take part in the research in what other players especially those who have potential do." The voice ended as quietly as it started that woman's voice was piercing my very soul with her words some how she knew something.
I now began to grow dizzy of watching the door moving around and around so I averted my eyes and when I did the room became Luminous and my eyes adjusted to the light. A woman clad in black and azure now stood before me. She was a wave master and was floating in the place where the door had been. "I don't care why you're here but if I have to shove you out of my way I will." I snarled at her trying to cover up my fear of her.
"Don't be so mean besides I don't need to pk anymore that other Long Arm put up quite a fight and having to avoid U.R.'s detection while slaying him it was quite a task.
I thought about A and how I must have compared to this woman. Her character didn't look any older than mine. But there was just something that had me off set with her. "You seem to think that you could kill me if you wanted to. And your voice doesn't quite match the one I was hearing earlier so you must be here like A and myself were."
"Correct. But that voice you heard was a monster that U.R. is creating to help him take over the world and assure his characters survival." She smiled now at me and it made me shiver.
"Who are you?"
"I am Kasami, Queen of the Under. I have been playing and watching for some time now." She now lost her grim and her face became emotionless.
My entire body was frozen because of Kasami's cold empty gaze. I felt as if my heart had just been stabbed with the worlds coldest Ice Pick.
