DM1988: I hope this chapter turned out alright. This is Log Entry 6.
Elk: After about 5 or so chapters, Somakasa finally arrives in the West.
Hay Lin: This will begin with a dream sequence that will be important later in the story. Just to warn you, the dream is somewhat graphic, so take heed is this scares you. +screams, then hides behind Tsukasa+
Tsukasa: Uh, what are you doing?
Hay Lin: Hiding from the spookies. : )
DM1988: All right, let's get this out of the way. You know the drill, people. W.I.T.C.H and .hack//SIGN belong to their respective owners.
Tsukasa+sighs+ Why me? DM1988, can you tell Hay Lin to get off of me?
Log Entry 6—Reception
+Dream Sequence+
The field looked very stygian like in the World. A young wavemaster was alone in the freezing field, stained with blood everywhere. As he walked through the red snow, he noticed several players decapitated, stabbed or otherwise dismembered. He noticed the sword he's carrying, which was covered with blood, and the amulet that glowed a darkish red color. He had been searching for a missing player for some time and the info given to him by the ones who either knew or saw her proved to be very vague. To complicate things, he is also tasked to find info on the elusive Player Killer, Wiru.
The wavemaster wondered why he was put in charge of finding the missing player. One of the Guardians distrusted him for the fact that he was once an illegal player himself. Still, they had no one else to go to, and he was their last resort.
The numerous battles with monsters, to him, was getting depressing. None of these monsters he faced yield any clues to this mysterious PK nor getting any closer to finding the missing avatar.
As he continued trekking through the snow, he saw a girl his age, alone in the cold. She had wings that were stained with blood. Her attire, which once consisted of a purple long sleeved top, bluish green skirt, and blue & green striped stockings, is now in rags. Her red hair is very unkept, enough to hide her sorrowful face.
"Hey, are you okay?"
The girl stood silent, unable to answer him. She looked towards the boy a few minutes later after noticing the amulet the boy carrying.
"What are you doing out in the cold? Are you waiting for someone?"
She nodded no.
"Tell me, what are you really here for. You can tell me."
She looked at the white haired boy and told him:
"I'm hiding from those people that harmed me. Including you."
Then suddenly, she got stabbed by an unknown figure. The unknown figure has triggered the amulet to harm the wavemaster that wielded it.
"Please, stop it!" he whispered as the pain grew more intense. A few moments later, ghost-like substances flowed into the boy and the amulet he possessed. It engulfed his body, rendering it cold and weak. The mysterious figure then walked up to the boy and spoke to him:
"Stay away from us. She wants to be left alone."
The figure then stabbed the boy.
Tsukasa gasped, realizing that it was only a dream. However, his head was still pounding for reasons unknown.
"That dream…….it keeps repeating every time. What's happening to me?"
"Tsukasa, are you awake?" said Susan Vandom, very cheerily.
"Y-yeah, I'm awake."
"What's wrong, Tsukasa? You had a bad dream?"
"No. I'm fine. Where are we?"
"We're in Fadden Falls."
"Already?"
Fadden Falls, December 1, 2011
3:45 PM
The weather has cleared up in Fadden Falls. It was the time when everyone in school just got out for the day. Tsukasa looked out the window, like a caveman in the modern world, confused and amazed at the same time.
"Nice place isn't it." said Susan.
"Yeah."
As Tsukasa looked around, he noticed a person walking towards the alley. He appeared to have dark brown hair with faint red streaks. He wore a navy blue hoodie; his skin looked pale, as if he been out in the cold for too long.
"This is strange. It all just happened in a few days. It just happened just like that." Tsukasa thought to himself. "Why do I feel like this?"
He then noticed some girls looking at him when they reached a stoplight. The girls were love struck when they saw his white hair and purple eyes. A sight not normally seen around here. He blushed at the sight of them, making the girls giggle with excitement.
"Silly girls." was what Tsukasa thought.
Susan and Tsukasa later arrived at the supermarket to pick up some sandwiches from the deli. However, Tsukasa insisted that he wanted to stay in.
"How come you don't want to come in?"
"Uh, I want to check out something."
"Where?"
"Over at the uh, community center?" he lied.
"Okay. I'll probably be in the market for a while. But please, stay out of trouble, okay."
"Yeah."
As Susan went inside the supermarket, Tsukasa walked around town. He walked toward the high school he saw earlier, hoping not to run into any of his newly formed fanbase.
However, as he was walking, he got pulled by someone. To his dismay, the person that grabbed him was a bully.
"Give me your money, right now!" shouted the bully.
"Uh…"
"Hurry up! I don't gots all day, you white haired freak!"
"I-I don't have any money with me. Honestly."
The bully punched Tsukasa, sending him to the cold ground. Tsukasa tried running away, but the bully grabbed his leg tightly. He then threatened Tsukasa with a broken glass bottle.
"Listen, I don't like the way you look. Your white hair, your wimpy purple eyes, and weak body. No one likes someone who looks like you. Now I'll ask you one last time; where's your money?!?"
"I told you, I don't have any money!"
"Oh, you answered wrong, my friend." Said the bully as he's about to strike Tsukasa with the bottle. However, just as he's about to attack him, a basketball was thrown at him. The basketball hit him at the head, knocking him out.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm okay." Tsukasa answered as he looked to see who saved him. It was the same guy that he saw earlier. "Uh, how come you helped me?"
The dark haired boy stood silently as Tsukasa asked that question.
"I just do. The name's Whedon Gnone." He said as he shaked his hand with Tsukasa's. "What's yours?"
"Tsukasa Hikari." stated the white haired boy.
"Tsukasa, you say. The same Tsukasa that got stuck in the World?"
"Yeah. How did you know? Do you play the World, too?"
"I guess you could say that. So why did you come over here?" wondered Whedon.
"I guess I'm transferring to Sheffield High School. Right now, I'm waiting for my adoptive mother to come out of the market."
"Your adopted mother? What's her name?"
"Uh, Susan Vandom?"
When Whedon heard that name, he just stood silently. He couldn't believe what he just heard.
"Is something wrong?" asked Tsukasa.
"I-It's nothing. So you're going to Sheffield High, huh? Well, good luck. Oh, and meet me in the World. Here's my member address." Whedon handed to Tsukasa rather quickly.
"What's the rush, Whedon. Your parents calling you?"
"N-NO! It's just that I have basketball practice to go to. Is that a good enough answer for you?!?"
"Y-yeah."
Whedon rushed off to his home, leaving Tsukasa confused at his outburst.
"What's his problem?"
Tsukasa went back over to the car, not realizing that it had been over a half-hour since Susan went inside. She was out waiting in the car for Tsukasa. As he went inside the car, Susan noticed a bruise on Tsukasa's cheek.
"Tsukasa! Are you alright? What happened?"
"It's nothing."
"Are you sure you're feeling alright? This morning, I noticed you were moaning in your sleep. Tell me, is something wrong?"
"I told you Susan, I'm fine."
"….Okay…oh, and here's your sandwich."
"Thank you."
They then left for Heatherfield….
Meanwhile at the orphanage
6:30 PM
"Oh, Whedon. I thought you'd be at basketball practice."
"It's been canceled tonight." as Whedon went to his room. He looked around to see if anyone is nearby. As he confirmed that no one's around, he closed the door, locked the door and started getting undressed. The curtains were shut, ensuring that no one can see him. He got into some pajamas and opened the doors and curtains again. He looked at the picture of six girls. He also looked at another picture of a young raven haired woman. He then opened his drawer to hide the two pictures and pulled out a Super NES cartridge.
"I never thought I would actually see him in the flesh." Whedon chuckled as he turned on his Super Nintendo with a Castlevania game in it.
"So, it begins for Tsukasa……"
Heatherfield
10:30 PM
Tsukasa and Susan had just arrived in Heatherfield not too long ago. Immediately after Tsukasa unpacked his stuff, he went to bed. Susan was still up, calling up Bear to tell him that they arrived safe and sound.
"So I take it that you two arrived there without any snags, eh?"
"Yeah. But, I don't know. Tsukasa won't tell me what he's feeling, and I feel that he needs to express this to me."
"He's always like that. But, you're right; he needs someone to talk to if anything goes wrong. Maybe when he starts school tomorrow, he'll make some friends that understands him and what he's been through."
"I hope you right about this……"
DM1988: So did this Log Entry sucked? Did it kick ass? Tell me in your reviews.
Tsukasa: Look Hay Lin, I know you were scared of all the corpses in that dream sequence, but you don't have to squeeze the living life out of me.
Elk: Please read and review. +THUMP+ Uh, Tsukasa?
