I don't own ".Hack"

Hey guys, sorry for not writing for a while… anyways, enjoy!
I bet my brother would want to eat the creature I'm fighting.

Chapter 11 "Time Gate"

"Maha, are you… a PC or an NPC?" I had wondered that for a while now, and finally had decided to ask him. He didn't say anything, just kept of flying around the area and becoming familiar with the place.

When he finally came back, he motioned for me to follow him. We walked into a cave. From my past experiences bad things happened there, but that was when I was with other people… now I was alone. Maha swirled deeper into the cave, and I followed.

If front of me was a rotating sphere with inscriptions on it. This was not the good time for me to fight, I was still mad at Murakami… but I had no choice, Maha kept on pushing me closer and closer to the monster gate.

A giant squid-like creature crawled towards me with a hungry look on its face. I grabbed onto my staff. And cast a level 15 lightning spell.

Hit: -31HP

A did a few more lightning spells, but it didn't seem to be weakened, and I ran out of my MP (magic points). The beast seemed furious. It smashed me with its tentacle, and I hit the floor hard.

Hit: -19HP

Lucky for me the monster didn't deal too much damage, and my defense was high. "The necklace." Maha was right beside me, and reached out his hand to help me up. "My necklace?" I took it off and held in my hand, then reached my hand out towards the monster, and a white flash came from it. It transformed and became a little fish that was flapping on the floor like a fish out of the water.

In the statue room I noticed a glowing chest, but still couldn't take my eyes off the necklace. Now it was sparkling with different colors, and if you looked closer, you could see pieces if code in it. I put around my neck, and walked to the treasure chest, and opened. Darkness consumed me, and I fell onto the cold floor.

When I woke up I could hear the dripping of the water in the empty room. I stood up and looked at Maha that quietly sat next to me. "What happened?" I asked him. He looked up at me with a sad look on his face, then disappeared. I looked at the chest again. I don't know what happened to me, I couldn't remember anything… all that I did remember was who I was, and Maha.

I walked to the chest, and opened it. There was a tablet with something written on it. The words were very old and almost impossible to read. "…Time… successor…" I tried to make out the words.

"Aww man, someone beat me to it again!"
I turned around clinging onto the transcription.
"Oh? Say, what's your name?" She looked at me like I was an old friend of hers, "You look like someone I know… maybe you know him too, his name is Tsukasa."

Well, this is it for now… I won't write as much as I did before, because I really want to finish writing my novel… I'll post it in fan-fic before I publish it, so look for my story, it's called "The Beginning Of The End"
But I'm still working on the title…
