Chapter 21: Virus
The data left over is thrown in the trash and becomes useless waste that no one ever cares for. The data left alone for a long time eventually dissipates from reality, only if you have a living program then what happens if some of it is left.
People everyday forget about things it's natural they leave things and never go back to get them because they simply forget. However just like food data doesn't stop 'changing'. The food that you leave in your bedroom ends up becoming pesky and smelly so you remember and discard it. Living data is the same it becomes pesky and gets discarded... But as I have said humans forget often.
"Now what are we going to do U.R.?" Cygnus said to the new man that had entered the conversation.
"Well there's not much we can do until we wait for him to come out of hiding into "The World once more and show us the game which he has been preparing for all of us. And we will also get back Black Abiss for what he has done to betray us."
"Right." Alberio said. "But there must be someway to track what he has done."
"Yes there is. The past game Alpha had featured Recompense as a player and the same game took place only the victims didn't fall into a coma they just vanished. I'm not sure if it's better that we managed to pull some of them out but that's all we can hope to do and pray that it works."
"You keep talking about Alpha but I wasn't there when you and Cygnus played what does Alpha have to do with it?" Alberio asked.
"When U.R. and I competed in games Alpha is considered the basis for this game however it wasn't a game played on a computer we had to gather there to play it." Cygnus said, "That was when U.R. and I met her." Cygnus trailed off his voice weakening.
"What Cygnus is saying is that we met a woman named Kayla there and she instantly won Cygnus's heart. The two gathered together all of the time to play the game and test each others skills to beat each other." U.R. laughed, "I was there two but I just tagged along with the two. That is when we first saw the character called Recompense."
Cygnus walked off to the other side of the apartment looking towards the roof. Alberio turned to call him back but U.R. stopped him and continued his story.
"You see Recompense was never actually there he always played by remote because he 'couldn't be there on time' but he always beat everyone that played against him. Now Recompense didn't know much about hacking apparently but he knew enough to make a powerful virus. When Kayla and he played against each other he wanted to spice up the game, he said that he would pay her one thousand dollars if she could beat him and if she lost she would lose her skill of the game."
"So do you want to try?" I said to her.
"Of course and when I win you will regret making this promise." Kayla smiled back towards the screen.
"Alright then let begin." I said.
Our screens began to flash violently as our characters began to fight. Her character was small and fast our play styles were almost the exact same only my character was a bit more on the power side. Bullets began to fly I ducked behind a corner and fired back at her letting three bullets fly from my weapon. She was skilled enough to know how to keep me punished enough to get me behind corners then throw grenades.
I ran out from my first hiding spot to try and get a better shot at her but she was already expecting my move. I dashed behind a column before she could return fire as I tried to work my way closer. Then the grenades came, they came raining down in huge masses I tried to shoot some away but five managed to reach to the column where I was. I ducked and covered my head as the column blew up.
The smoke began to clear as she began to shell my body cracking my rib I hit the deck and used a smoke bomb to cover me as I crawled to a new spot. She continued to get more grenades and throwing them in random places.
My body's hp was dropping fast and I knew that she was going to win if I couldn't break her fire. My twin pistols couldn't hope to make it through her SMG. I turned a corner into a new room trying to patch up my wounds and ease the burns. I began to gather as many smoke bombs as I could and climbed up the roof of the building and stared down at her through the window.
She had managed to create a bunker for herself that made my pistols useless against her. She was looking around for me but I don't think she realized I had already made it to the roof. I prepared myself and shattered the glass above her dropping all of my smoke bombs down in the room. She saw me and began to fill the roof with bullets.
She pierced my side as I fell through the glass clipping my body onto a chandelier. The smoke had filled the room making my presence unknown and I was decently sure that she wouldn't come out of her bunker. I shot the chandelier cord and fell with it to the ground 10 feet away from where she was.
The glass exploded everywhere and pierced my leg. I had lost the movement of my left leg but I could still make my way to her without getting shot. I began to hear her scream; she was screaming the words, "My eyes! You freak you shot glass into my eye!"
This strengthened my resolution and I began to crawl towards her bunker. I peered inside and I heard a gun round load, "Game Over Recompense I win." Her voice said and the cold steel pressed against my temple.
"You really shouldn't say anything before you finish someone off." I smiled. She gasped as I pulled my offs wire. The wire pulled the switch to the pistols and her head was filled with bullets.
She fell to the ground and the game ended.
U.R. continued his story, "I don't know how Recompense beat her but he managed to and no one saw Kayla again. People say Recompense killed her but I doubt it because when he saw me in the game he didn't care much. But there is someone else that was good at that game who was jealous of Kayla's abilities that in my opinion got rid of Kayla after she lost thinking to blame it on Recompense. That's why Cygnus and I hate him." U.R. ended.
"I see that's who Cygnus morns for." Alberio said.
"You're in the hospital because you tried to compete in the game of Recompense." Reconcile said to the girl
"Who are you?" Argent asked.
"Psh I don't need to talk to you if you don't know me." The girl yelled back at me. I could feel the pain in her voice as she said it though. I had noticed how no one was there to visit her.
"Woah calm down there." Reconcile said, "We are working as a team her so easy, we need to concentrate on what's at hand like getting out of here. Now Kasami when they asked how I did it you don't know and neither do you Argent." Argents parents walked in dressed in regular clothes.
Argents parents stared at Reconcile shocked at how he made Kasami wake up. The father asked, "Where's the staff? How did you do it so fast?"
"Aw it's nothing really I specialize in this kind of stuff so I excused the other doctor and my team and I did this case on our own. They had to leave to help all of the other cases like this though. Now it's time for me to take Kasami home to her parents don't worry I've quarantined everything so it's alright." Recompense grabbed Kasami by the arm and pulled her out of the bed. Pulling girls clothing out of his jacket he handed it to her and she began to change behind a curtain.
Argent watched as Reconcile and Kasami left and his parents and he left right after.
Reconcile turned towards Kasami in the car as he began to drive her home, "I understand what you were doing with Black Abiss, I know your intentions so don't try to lie to me." Her eyes grew wide as he continued, "I just can't figure out who your boss is so do you care to tell me?"
Kasami's eyes turned cold and she looked out the window, "I don't know what you're talking about I am the master of myself I don't need anyone's help."
