SANCTUARY

ONE DAY LATER


Soundtrack: TV TOME Adventures soundtrack - Wingless (Dreamer)


T-bones walked throughout sanctuary. It took a few minutes until he found Grounda standing in front of a ledge, looking on the horizon.

"You still have to explain me what happened yesterday".

"How much you saw?"

"I came there when you did".

"I am not sure where to start… first I must say this: I am not a human. I am a virus".

"No… you can't be a virus… you are too… human…"

"Calm down… I didn't even start".

"OK… keep on".

"My real name is Kary. That… swarm of little robots… he is the one who created me. His name is Askad. When I was younger, I called him father. And the other one… his name is Omega, and he is my lover".

"Then all times you said you can't be my girlfriend because you're in love with someone else…"

"Yes. It was him. So… They are also viruses, but they got bodies in real life. Robotic ones, like DarkEyesofAnubis – the realistic mode is an ability that enables them to use the power of their true bodies inside the game, and those bodies also wield their characters' powers. And there was a time I also had a body like them. Then, we all were in a killing crew called Bolverk Squad. But then someone – someone that you call DragonBug, and I call XV – ruined Askad's body. Then I was young and stupid, I thought he was gone in death like humans are… and I accused Omega and our other member Xero in his death. I betrayed them and began a war, and when I revealed that Askad is alive, it was too late. Almost all of us were killed, and I started wondering across the internet, knowing it all was a damn mistake. Askad and Omega revealed that I'm alive, but they thought I am still an enemy and came here to fight me. They also heard some rumors about a secret agent in the game, and by mistake they thought it to Enid, the girl that we fought in start, who was actually Xero's apprentice. Meanwhile, I started blueprinting my next body, and that's why I could also wield the realistic mode ability. Then so everything was brought into the situation that you saw…"

"So what happened after I logged out?"

Grounda blushed. "Omega and I unbroke circles. Now I am back in the Bolverk Squad, and Askad is working to make my blueprints of a new body come true".

"Grounda, this is epic! Why didn't you tell anyone?"

"Because I was afraid that someone would haunt me… Being a virus. Murder. Betrayal. Those are things that humans here hate".

T-bones laughed. "Are you kidding me?! This is a FIGHTING game! Being a super-powerful robot thing would be awesome for the humans here! I am sure that everyone will be amazed from this".

"Look, T-bones… we still have enemies - DragonBug, Rubirules, and who knows who else is after us…"

"Well… at least you can update me with all what happens with your squad?"

"Sure! I got to go now. See you around?"

"Absolutely".

Grounda logged out, and so did T-bones.
