Everlasting Tears

A/N: I've decided to continue it because I really liked the plotline I set for the story. Enjoy, but don't forget to review! Everything counts! It's slightly longer than the last chapter too :D

And Don't expect super fast updates either.

Btw: before you ask: here's some stuff you need to know:

ADC: Alpha Division Communicator (Built for Magicians)

BDC: Bravo Division Communicator (Built for Theives)

CDC: Charlie Division Communicator (Built for Bowmen)

DDC: Delta Division Communicator (Built for Warriors)

EDC: Echo Division Communicator (Built for Pirates)

Disclaimer: I don't own Maplestory; Nexon does. Blah blah blah; you get the picture.

Previous Review(s):

Starmint: Haha, yeah, I laughed too when the idea first popped into my head. As you can see below; it won't be a one-shot anymore. And at your second comment: I DID realize that I needed to put the title in, but I deemed it unfit for the current content. And I will be putting more detail into the characters in this chapter, but if it STILL doesn't clear things up, Nathan is a GM that betrayed Akiko, using her to find the legendary pendants and unlock their true power then calling a small team of GMs to ambush. That bastard.(Still, he's a product of my imagination) To end this reply of a review, I give you my final word; Bleh. 8D

Akiko: Meeting

Akiko moved swiftly through the treetops, her Cloak of Corruption flapping in the wind. Leaping through treetop to treetop, she thought about her lonely journey; until she had found Lightreign on that fateful day. She could still clearly remember the day she had faced Nathan in the battle, and how she made that silly mistake of thinking she could defeat a GM. But what had dumbfounded her the most was the fact that Nathan was a GM. The cute (She had to admit it, he was cute), nervous amber haired boy she always won against in Omok single handedly defeated her in that fight, and if his words were true, that was only a part of his full power.

Sighing, Akiko sped into the town of Leafre, and avoided the general foggy clearing, which was full of Hermits looking for leech, and she could always be easily mistaken for one. Walking unusually slowly between the lush green trees which were unlike Ellinia's with a passionate uniqueness, Akiko soon found the spot she had been looking for. A smooth, flat stone which was as ordinary-looking as any other stone, this stone had a distinctive pattern carved into it. At first glance people would've thought nothing of it, thinking that it was probably some shadower that happened to go on crack, seeing as the pattern had numerous intricate carvings in it. Heck, if Akiko hadn't been told that it was the teleporting ward, she would've thought the same.

Laying her hand onto the cold stone, Akiko murmured a soft incantation that was as quiet as a small leaf rustle in the wind. After she finished the spell, the stone glowed a familiar shade of turquiose before almost blinding the person it was teleporting.

Scowling as she rubbed her eyes, Akiko muttered,"Seriously, the next time that teleporter does that, I'm going to electricute it to the point of it never being used again!" Walking along the hall with long strides, she arrived at the elevator in less than 10 seconds. Akiko held out her ADC and allowed it to be scanned. The screen flashed green, and the golden doors slid open without another sound. However, before they could close, a boy quickly dashed in. Panting slightly, the boy scowled and flicked his head in a careless manner, causing the stray brown hairs that had been irritating him to fly back.

"Ugh, those idiots don't even recognise their division leader!" he said angrily, adjusting his claw absentmindedly and popping a steely back into its pouch.

"At least you didn't get blinded by a searing teleporting light, Michael," Akiko said almost coldly, glancing up at the ceiling.

"As a matter of fact; I DID get blinded by that stupid flash: I swear I'm gonna dissassemble it the next time it does that!" he cracked his knuckles menacingly.

"Join the club." Akiko said with a tint of amusement in her usually stony voice. "Anything new in the Bravo Division?"

Michael shook his head. "Other than the fact that our BDC's have broke AGAIN."

"Seriously, what do you thieves do with them? I've fixed way too many to count." Akiko muttered, glaring at the screen. Is it me, or is the elevator moving a hell more slowly than usual? she shook her head lightly. Nah, I'm probably getting impatient.

Michael laughed lightly, a dry, echoeing laugh that rebounded around the small lift. "It's been a while since you last cracked a joke, Akki."

Akiko's face hardened. "Don't call me that."

Michael raised his eyebrows. "Geez, you're a freaking prodigy, having mastered the elements WAY earlier than any other mage, including Grendel himself, not to mention creating countless ways to use electricity, yet you still can't handle a stupid nickname?" Michael asked, throwing his arms up in defeat. "I give up!"

Akiko softened almost immediately. "Sorry," she muttered sheepishly. "It's just that he always called me that." she murmured, suddenly immersing herself into a patch of carpet that had been as uninteresting as watching two snails race a few seconds ago.

"Oh." the Night Lord sighed heavily. "Well, you could've said it alittle earlier."

Akiko merely shrugged. The elevator made a soft chiming sound to indicate that they had reached their designated level. Akiko snapped her head up just in time to see her old teammate, who was none other than her best vice captain, Samantha. Akiko waved briefly as she strode past, her destination for the meeting hall. Michael also followed, and used haste to speed up their pace. In no time at all, they reached the polished wooden door, carved from the Maple tree. Swinging it open, Akiko and Michael entered and took their allotted places in order of divisions; Akiko in front and Michael straight behind.

"Captains Minimashi and Carea, you are very almost late," the guildmaster muttered, stretching. "Care to explain why?"

"My division didn't even RECOGNIZE me, so they held me up until they finally realized that it was their captain." Michael said, sighing. "I'm going to have a chat to them soon."

The guildmaster nodded."What about you, Minimashi?"

"I had a group of guests block my path for about half an hour." Akiko muttered in a placid tone. "Thats the last time I'm ever using the reception enterance."

"Ah, never mind, you are excused." the guildmaster sighed, lowering his hands. "Anything new to add?"

"Nothing much, other than the fact that we seriously need to update our teleporting methods." Akiko said. "That flash really irritates me." with this comment, numerous nods of agreement went along the table.

"Okay, I will see to that." the guildmaster said, scribbling it down on a piece of paper that just happened to be next to him. "Anything else?"

Akiko shook her head. "Nothing else."

"Very well." the guildmaster stood up. "You are dismissed." numerous sounds of chairs making grating sounds against the floor as the captains of their divisions headed towards the exit.

"I really don't see the point of us being called 'captains' and having 'divisions' according to our classes, it just seems so weird," Michael muttered under his breath as he walked down the hall. "Seriously, it's just stupid !"

"Well, the other Jr. Masters and the Guildmaster agreed to it, mostly due to the fact that they deemed it 'neccessary' ever since that attack on one of our minor bases totally razed it, including half of our supplies," Akiko answered dully.

"I guess," the Night Lord stopped abruptly at the enterance of his division area. "Cya later."

"Yeah, bye," Akiko replied, and both waved as they went their different ways. Ugh, why is the magician's division so far away from the meeting hall? Ack, screw this.... Akiko took out her staff and muttered quietly,"Teleport!" before disappearing in a soft blue light and reappearing about half a kilometre away. Satisfied, she stowed her staff away and opened the door.

Immediately a young magician scurried up to her and said,"Hello Miss Minimashi! Welcome back!" Akiko allowed the young magician to take her cape and hang it on a nearby rack, but she kept a firm grip to her staff.

"Anything new, Annelise?" she asked in a warmer tone, compared to her usual, piercingly cold voice. "Other than another load of BDC's from the Bravo (Theif) Division, anything intersting for a change?" she couldn't help but smile at her slightly lame attempt at humor. When she was happy, anyone couldn't help but agree that she was more beautiful that way, compared to her usual cold attitude.

Annelise smiled back. "Oh, we got another bunch of scrolls from the Sheranian town, aaanddd...." she dug into the pocket of her starry black Split for a while before taking out a small scroll tied with a crimson colored ribbon.. "This came for you." Akiko took the scroll and murmured a quick thanks before heading back to her office. "Any specific orders Miss Minimashi?" she called after Akiko.

Akiko turned around, and her expression softened. "No, you guys have been working very hard, you deserve a break." she smiled breifly before retreating back into the safety of her little space. Sighing as she sunk into her chair, Akiko lightly drummed her fingers on the table before remembering the letter. Facepalming as she remembered that she left it on the desk next to her staff rack. But I'm already so comfortable! Akiko raised her hand and muttered a small enchantment and soon the scroll appeared in front of her. Smiling to herself, Akiko carefully untied the ribbon and unrolled the scroll to reveal its contents.

Liam: Meeting Natomi

Say something, SAY SOMETHING NOW!! "It's just that...... Your hair is so BROWN." Liam stared at her for a while. Ugh, out of all things you say that her HAIR IS BROWN???

"You just realized?" Natomi giggled before standing up and getting her bow. Liam felt his cheeks go red. He just remained silent. "I'm Natomi by the way." she held out her hand.

"Liam." he took Natomi's hand, and she pulled him up before shaking his hand. Liam let go and walked over to his bow before picking it up. "So why are you in Henesys Hunting ground? Shouldn't you be in Ludi or Aqua road?"

Natomi raised an eyebrow. "Since when did you know of those places?"

IDIOT! A level 15 bowman shouldn't know about higher level places! "Uh, I heard from a friend." Liam improvised.

"Well, I'm here because I was a level 40 beginner, so became a bowman, and before I become a hunter, it'll be better because I would know the basics." she murmured, fingering her bow. The breeze intensified for a short time, whipping her hair breifly in the wind. Natomi scowled before producing a hair tie and tying her hair into a ponytail.

"Wow." Liam started gazing at Natomi again.

"What?" She laughed. "Don't tell me you've fallen for me!"

Liam turned another shade of bright red. "N-no!" he managed to splutter.

A/N: Hope you liked it! R&R please!
