Chapter 15: Reconcile
There was a man... he made me feel weak, like I couldn't do anything at all. He was strong even in real life he could do anything he wanted. One problem is he and I disagreed...
Back then we felt as if the world was on our shoulders. We could have done whatever we wanted and the Corp couldn't have done anything about it. We were free.

"Recompense get up! The game isn't all that amazing." She laughed so happily.
"This game is just amazing though I really can't believe it." I said back to her dazed.
"That's the whole point now come out of your little cave and let's play this game!" I stood up from the grass.
"I am not living in the stone age I just haven't played any games like this for a while." I muttered as I walked over to her.
"You're so slow let's start killing some monsters." She rushed forward to a horde of goblins that she clearly couldn't take on by herself.
I laughed and went along with it charging in right after her, but something happened to us that day. We weren't made into legends and we weren't made into hackers, we still were us. Something was different though.
She vanished after a while she played for a little while longer but then she just vanished...
"Well this is a problem... the game has already started and Argent isn't here..." Kunar said to Kaisa.
"We can always just go get him in the real world." Kaisa said.
"Nah I figure I'll just leave a hack on the spot where he ported out so when he spawns back he will join us once again."
"That's a pretty good idea actually!"
"Ya I know I'm me after all."
Kaisa and Kunar looked up into the sky and saw the area surrounding them begin to blacken as they teleported to the area full of lava.
"What is this place?" The Twin Blade in Black spoke.
"Why are you even talking we don't even know who you are!" Wing questioned
"My name is Lancer if you honestly needed to know but what good does you knowing my name do you?" He exclaimed
"Nothing I just like to know the names of the people I kill." Wing laughed.
"Why you little I could kill you in an instant if I wanted to you--" Lancer was interrupted
"Enough! If we are going to survive then we must not argue! We have to stay strong and concentrate on what is in front of us!" Leonheart screamed at the two of them.
"What do you mean survive?" Just then Wing remembered the words of Recompense, "That's right if we die here its comatose for us huh." He stared out into the lava field thinking about Emily.
"Well this is fun and all Abiss but I don't want to have to fight through endless amounts of hordes of zombies I have homework to do." Kasami said
"It doesn't matter anymore Kasami once you join this game you have to see it through to the end. We must go on." Abiss pulled out his blades and began to walk, we're in an area of the world itself we have just lost control of our physical bodies... This is all that will matter."
Chapter 16: Reconcile (Continued)
Once upon a time there was someone who watched me. He watched my every move with the intent to kill. There was no where to run and no where to hide, yet I kept fighting rather than running. To give up is to never win. In order for me to be free I must reconcile.
"Get up Cygnus we have to log out before it's too late." A child's voice above Cygnus said.
"Albireo, toss me one of your potions and then we can get outa here." Cygnus said. The child Albireo threw down a potion and Cygnus stood.
He faced a young boy the age of 11 he had long white hair, purple armor, shoulder pad with strap down the chest, with chaos cross staff, demon wings, purple demon boots, and a purple demon gawn. "Hard to believe you're a little kid behind that demon form." Cygnus moaned as he got up, "Alright lets go."
ArgentLam got up, walked over his sink and washed his face. "What did I do?" He raised his face from the water and dried it. "I actually killed someone. But it was just a game right? So I guess she just logged back in right after I killed her so everything is alright." He walked over into his kitchen and meandered through his fridge. "Looks like its leftovers again. And as usual mom is late from work, and dad well he is always late so that's ok I guess." Argentlam pulled out the topoware and began to heat it up.
!WARNING!WARNING!
!SERVER CRASH IMMINENT!
All of the players looked up and logged out as fast as they could saving their progress.
"Kunar what do we do!" Kaisa screamed to him as people were rushing by trying to save their work.
"We have to go now with and without Argent he will come sooner or later!" Kunar held up his hand once more. Kaisa and he disappeared to the lava domain.
"But I thought you said if we logged out here we would be put into a comma!" Emily shouted to Recompense.
"Yes I did...I'm sorry but this is how the game must really begin sleep well."
!WARNING!WARNING!
SERVER SHUTDOWN COMMENCING
"Well it's done. I've managed to get as many players as I wanted for the game. Hmm I guess Argentlam wasn't there but I can always use him for a surprise later." I thought to myself.
What about you shouldn't you be like them?
"Heh that is true. I guess I should be but that happened to me last time and I don't want to go through it again...for her sake as well as mine...
You know this is all pointless
"Yes I know Reconcile. That is your way of thinking. As for me I am after all Silver Recompense."
I'll kill you sooner or later just wait...
"I will. But in the meantime I need to gather the bodies."
