"Welcome to Phantasy Star Forever." A soft female voice announced, as Jonathan's eyes were greeted with a loading screen, taking him past various planets through space, the game finally came in orbit around a planet looking like Earth, multitudes of white clouds and green landmasses along with a vast ocean covered it. The main menu appeared, allowing Jonathan to easily navigate through it, finding the online portion of the game. Suddenly he heard the chime of a bell.
"According to our records, you have a saved character data from an earlier game, would you like to revive this data and play with this character?" The female voice announced and Jonathan was awestruck. "my old character? They really kept him?" he thought to himself as the character was retrieved. The being had red hair and a set of blue eyes; he wore a white jumpsuit with a communications device on his left arm. Jonathan selected that character, and white beams of light flew past his vision, when they faded, he found himself onboard a spaceship, teeming with people wandering around. "wow…this looks amazing…" Jonathan thought to himself as he slowly wandered the pathway when he suddenly heard a voice call to him, "Hey Adrian!" Jonathan turned, and saw another character running towards him, "hey its me, Michael from school!" he whispered to Jonathan, "Omega Twilight!?" Jonathan said, shocked to see Michael's character, he had black hair and white eyes, dressed in a black jumpsuit. "I told you this game was amazing huh?" Omega said, raising his arms and turning as if showing Adrian the whole game, "yea…it is really nice…" Omega put down his arms and said, "all right. I know what you really want to do… Fight some monsters right?" Adrian nodded his head, "I wonder if they kept my old text command…" after a few seconds, a chat bubble appeared and written inside: LETS KILL STUFF!!!
They both erupted in laughter. Omega put a hand on Adrian's shoulder, "all right…enough funny stuff…lets go." Adrian nodded and they departed from the lobby, heading towards a cylinder of light, transporting them to the planet's surface below. Adrian took a look around, "wow…I never knew they made this place so detailed!" Omega took a few steps in front of him, "I know, its almost like they developed the game just for the VR set." Suddenly, a beam of light descended onto Adrian, and small spheres of light began to circle around him, and a pair of angel's wings floated behind his back. Looking over the equipment, Adrian smiled, "wow…I forgot I had all of this stuff…" Omega nodded, "I still believe they kept our characters, along with our exclusive equipment…" Omega had two black, spiked shoulder pads along with a massive shield, with a blue, glowing edge. Pulling out a purple sword with a red eye in the center, Adrian looked over the weapon, "man…I'm glad they allowed me to keep the Dragon Slayer…" Omega sneered, "only because you knew that it did double damage on dragons…" Adrian turned to protest, but Omega was already gone down the path.
Catching up to him, he was in a battle with other monsters, giant bear like creatures. "About time you got here! I'm almost done with these guys." Omega smiled, delivering one of the final blows to the monster when two leopard creatures jumped from the dense jungle and began circling the two of them. Running towards the one to his left, Adrian raised his sword and the strike connected, killing the foe easily. "Omega…these guys are kind of easy…I thought we were going to do hard stuff…" Adrian protested, watching him finish off the last creature, and Omega turned to Adrian, "I know. I just wanted you to get back into the swing of things…I didn't want you dieing too often in the Ruins." This perked Adrian's interest, "the Ruins…I haven't been there in forever…along with battling Dark Flaz right?" Omega nodded his head, "It would be kinda pointless to fight to Flaz and turn around right?" he questioned and Adrian nodded his head, "all right…lets go to the Ruins!" Omega lifted his left arm and started pushing some buttons on the computer, and after a flash of light, they found themselves in a damp, dark room.
Omega turned to Adrian, "are you stocked on your items?" He gave a nod, and they walked to the door, which slid open with a hiss. Wandering down a hallway and into a large room, large monsters appeared, swords had grown at the end of their limbs and started slowly making their way towards the pair. Suddenly, a giant appeared, and lifted its right arm, and fired it like a rocket towards Omega and Adrian, who both saw the missile and they dodged, only to move closer to the other monsters, Omega drew a short pulsing red beam sword and charged into the group, Adrian pulled out the Dragon Slayer and started slashing at the monsters…
