Brave New World Part 2
A young African American boy was pacing in his somewhat spacious room. He seemed to be awaiting something. The boy had a fade with a dyed golden stripe. He also had a small horizontal scar over his right eye. He was dressed in a rare green wife beater riddled with holes and dark jeans; it accentuated the small amount of muscle he had, he also wore a pair of black and green athletic shoes.
He turned when he heard a knock at the door, and almost ripped it off the hinges with how fast he opened it. A girl was standing there with a less than amused face, probably used to him breaking doors. She walked in and threw her bag at the wall and fell onto his bed in exhaustion.
"Did you get it" he asked her hopefully.
"Yeah, Lex, I got it" She raised her head looking tired and with hair disheveled, looking like he had just destroyed her in his bed."First pocket, get out my copy too. I gotta go fix myself, before we start." Holding her hand to her head, she got up slowly and walked back out the room. The now named Lex went through her bag. He found his target, and started to tear up a bit. "Ren, hurry up!" He yelled at his best friend. She came back out the bathroom with her dirty blonde hair looking curlier than ever. She was wearing dark skinny jeans and a dark blue jacket, and had on an all black converse. She was shorter than he was, came up roughly to his shoulder. She walked over to him and took her copy of DWO from him, then proceeded to unpack for the sleepover/all-night gaming session. She pulled out her Nerv-Gear, which was covered in stickers, as opposed to Lex's, who had a single sticker over his forehead of a skull & pistols.
"You ready?" She asked him as she laid on his bed, And Lex laying down on the floor. "Hopefully this won't be like Dance Dance Renegade and be a total waste of money." She said with a hint of mischief in her voice.
"That wasn't so bad, I got to see you shake your butt" he said teasing her waiting for his system to turn on. She blushed hard and threw a pillow at him. "Shut up, you perv! Link Start!" After those words, you could only hear her little, less than silent breaths.
"Link Start" He exclaimed with the same enthusiasm, and becoming just as quiet.
He landed on an all white platform and a questionnaire popped up.

He finished his questionnaire and felt the platform disappear from under him. He promptly started screaming and grasping for things that weren't there. He continued screaming, not remembering it wasn't real. He just about had a panic attack when he hit the ground and bounced back. He was happy to be alive, but still freaking out from the unexpected bouncing. He bounced with less momentum each time until he finally stopped bouncing altogether. He held his hand to his chest, feeling his heart beating faster than normal, and finally calming down after a few minutes. He heard someone yelling his name, knowing it was Ren waiting for him; he also knew he would be in trouble later.
As Lex stood up, he heard more screaming, but it wasn't Ren this time. He looked up and saw something falling, he squinted a bit and saw it was a girl. His instincts kicked in and he started running towards her intended impact point. He flicked his hands out to catch her and jumped off the ground like it was spring-filled. His arms wrapped around her back and legs. "Stop screaming and flailing, I've got you" He whispered to the girls ear. She stopped most functions almost immediately and basically went limp in his arms as they glided towards the ground. He landed in a less bouncy area but just as shock absorbant. He landed holding her bridal style and her face was as red as a tomato, most likely from falling.
Lex put her down and noticed a strange beeping noise emanating from the black gauntlet on his left arm. She tried to say something to him but he walked on, like he hadn't just saved her life. A blinking red arrow lead him towards a group of small digimon, a small bee walked over and tried to fly to him, but he fell on his face. Lex picked him up by his head, and put him back on his feet.
"thank you, Mister" the bee bowed his head a bit.
"My name isn't Mister, it's Lex." Lex answered the child monster.
"Lex is my master's name." Lex's gauntlet beeped in confirmation.
"Well you know who I am, but who are you little buddy?" He asked as he poked the little bee in the thorax.
"Puroromon, my name is Puroromon." He flapped his wings a bit in a show of pride.
"Well, Puro, we have to go find my friend Ren. She'll get angry if we make her wait any longer." He picked up Puro and placed him on his head. They walked off in a hurry, looking for the feisty girl.
He found the girl with a stern look on her face, one that he knew well, and it was not a good sign. The saying "hell have no wrath like a woman scorned" came to mind. She was standing there with a Viximon in her hands, her foot tapping the ground in impatience. She was wearing a dark blue tube top and a pair of dark blue short shorts with white trim. She had a blue and white glove on her right arm. She seemed to be one of the lighter classes, apparently with more skin and less armor. Before he actually could stand in front of her, a hand grabbed his shoulder. It was the girl from before, she looked a little tired and was holding what looked to be like a giant tear drop.
"I wanted to *huff huff * thank you for saving me earlier. I don't know what would've happened if you hadn't saved me." She hugged him and kissed him on the cheek."Really, thanks."
She ran off into the steadily increasing number of people in the city. He turned back around to Ren, appearing confused and flustered, knowing how she was likely to react.
Ren was furious, and he was pretty sure her hair was on fire. Her hair was now orange and flaring towards the sky. "WHO WAS SHE, LEX?" Anyone who happened to be watching this scene found it a bit over the top, and rather hilarious. Her rage was justified, yet he had never seen her so angry.
"I saved her earlier, and she just wanted to thank me. That's all. Now calm down, I'm not going anywhere."
She had a few abandonment issues, and sometimes she thought that he would just leave her high and dry. He never did, but it didn't stop her from worrying. Her hair changed to black to show she was a bit ashamed. "Hey Ren, quick question, what class are you?" he asked, as he was a bit worried about her hair and mood swings. "Elementalist." She said, as her hair faded to a neutral brown. He noticed she didn't have any weapons equipped. She saw his look of concern and opened her menu, quickly pulling out a rustic looking rapier. Before he could even ask to look at it, she had him pinned to the ground with the sword through one of his arm sleeves. He looked at her with indifference; she wanted a fight it seemed, and he was not one to disappoint. From his place on the ground, he opened the menu and sent her a friend invite and a duel request. She quickly answered yes to both.
She pulled the sword from his sleeve and waited for the timer to sound and signal the start of the fight. A bubble erected from the ground around them, signifying the boundaries of the duel. "You know I'm gonna win, you should just give up now." He remained quiet, his face impassive. "Ready." She got into a stance, assuming since she didn't see his weapon that he had chose some sort of hand-to-hand combat type. "Start." Before Ren could even start her advance forward, she heard six loud booms, she ignored it and ran forward trying to stab him. He dodged every single one without ever using his weapon. Her stabs turned into slashes, still hitting nothing but air.
"I love to tease you, it's so fun." Lex said to the raging now blonde haired girl. "Although, I think I've had enough fun, time to end this."
He back flipped, his foot kicking the rapier out of her clumsy and inexperienced grip and impaling itself into the ground. She heard the six small explosions again and felt something hit her in the stomach, and she fell to the ground clutching her stomach. She looked up and saw Lex was holding a rusty six shooter with smoke coming out of it. He blew it out like the cocky son of a bitch she knew he was. The bubble disappeared and the crowd that was outside started clapping for the 2 warriors. Lex picked her off the ground and placed her back onto her feet. They both picked up their digimon, and introduced the baby beedrill-thing to the blonde fox thing.
"So what class are you anyw-" Before she could finish her question, they were both teleported.
The area now known as The Death Plaza
"D-d-death game? Lex what is that thing talking about?!" She was becoming hysterical and freaking out as she looked into his eyes, hoping to find him being as indifferent as usual. Instead, she saw a far away look in his eyes. His face was strained as it remembered something horrible. Ren hugged him remembering their past, and especially his scarred past. He made his first movement and touched his hand to the scar on his right eye. She started to cry into his chest and it stirred something in him. He wrapped his arms around her. He felt a familiar feeling of wanting to protect, to protect her. He wrapped his arms around her and he vowed to himself, that no matter what, she would not die. Whatever it takes she would live. Whatever. It. Takes.
Next Day
Morningstar Inn/Kirito & Takato
Takato POV
"Ohhh my aching everything" Takato groaned as he tried to get out of bed and failed. He heard a faint scribbling noise. Curious as he was, he got out of bed and walked to the desk on the other side of the room. He saw Kirito hunched over the desk and he appeared to be writing furiously. "Kirito, what are you doing?"
His sensei didn't even stop his hand or look at him. He just answered him nonchalantly "I'm making a survival guide for everyone, it will be free and be in every single store. It will contain class, weapon, and character skill knowledge, an explanation of loadouts, Digivolving, and boss fight info. You know, basic stuff."
Takato was stupefied, and felt like he needed a copy already. "umm noob question but...what exactly is a Loadout?"
Kirito stopped writing and turned to teach his student something else he should already know. "Well Takato, a loadout is a basically like a second set of equipment, just on a shortcut of sorts. For example, did you notice I wasn't wearing my battle gear? All you have to do is say the number assigned to your loadout, and your equipment changes instantly. You can also rename the loadouts from numbers to actual names so you don't set them off by counting things accidentally. Here, I'll demonstrate." He stood in the middle of the room. He was wearing a black short sleeve shirt and black Pajama pants.
"1!" He shouted, and a blue light overtook him. As soon as it was gone, Takato noticed he was standing in his blue shirt, breastplate and sword in hand. "See? Simple, though you have to create your Loadouts in your menu. So unless it's completed before hand, it won't work."
As he finally finished Takato stood there absolutely astonished, at how much he had to learn and how amazing Kirito was."While I'm away from the book, any other questions?" Takato put his hand on his chin and stroked it in thought before answering,
"Yes, what are class, weapon, and character skills? As in, what are those, exactly?" Kirito sighed once again, but he smiled at the irony that Takato was also a beta tester, yet he probably knew less than any noob. Nonetheless, Kirito enjoyed his company.
"Weapon skills are easily acquired from simply using the weapon type frequently, you may get better weapons of the same type, but some skills will not be transferred as there are Unique Weapon Skills. Now, Class skills are things that are given to you on level 1 to accentuate the difference in class type. Me and you are both knights and we have a higher than normal defense and attack stat, and someone who was a scholar class would have higher intelligence and MP. Although the most amazing skills are Character Skills. It is a hidden skill built into your characters' coding. It is unlocked on a different level for everyone, the higher the level of unlock, the stronger the skill." Kirito sat back down as he explained this to his student."Well, I better get back to writing this book, or you won't be the only person with questions. He turned back around towards the desk and started writing again. Takato was stuck in utter silence as he could not speak because of his stupor. "I wonder what my Character Skill is?" He said to himself. As he heard Gigimon and Dorumon snoring, he decided to go back to sleep so he would be ready for training later.
DWO: Info Breakdown: Knight Class
Strong, Fearless, Undaunted, and Protective. The Knight is more of a leadership role than a tank. Given above average DEF. & ATT, they laugh at danger. While in parties they feel an uncontrollable need to protect party members because of the skill Ironclad. It lessens the damage taken by the user but also forces them to throw him/herself in front of the blow.
