Ok! Again i don't own s4 or any other chars other than Maria, Getch, and A-Man. Oh and this is the last chapter for a long time so sit tight. Another ones on the way. Anyway enjoy! Oh! And SORRY Gamodenfor stealing ur myPanel idea. Honestly, what I had in my fic was basically the same thing, just lacking a really cool name. THX THOUGH!
Maria stepped into the wide room known as the Main Lobby. Over the years, S4 discarded the old room list look and made it more social. In fact, S4 League seemed to be a shooter/social MMO rather than being pure shooter. There was so much character interaction ingame that this new feature was added.
The Main Lobby resembled an inside of a club, without the drugs. The Lobby was covered with chairs and tables; in the center, there was a dance floor. With the advent of the Subconscious Neuro-controller, more character controls were added ingame. People had a more direct control of their gaming avatar. In the front of the Lobby was a DJ set. DJ Stochasticity was winning the crowd with trance, house, and electronic hits. To the left were panels showing the automated shop that allowed one to buy items and view current events. To the right was a wall cover with panels showing rooms where eSpers can meet, shoot, talk, jump, or anything else. People covered the floor and the upstairs balcony. Wow! This is definitely a sign of popularity.
Rule one of any MMO shooter. Check your inventory to see what you got. Opening her myPanel, Maria saw that she had the standard clothing set that everyone seemed to be wearing. Checking her weapons, Maria found training PS and SMG as well as a standard Duel SMG and a standard PS, each for 10 hrs. She noticed that she also had a Duel Semi-Auto Rifle, permanent. Hmm. I guess I'll start by equipping all the standard weps first. After configuring her eSper, she was confronted by two guys.
"Hey, BB. Lets say u come with us into a room of love."
Maria had her guard up. "Well, u guys should kno. Ima guy." This tactic usually works well enough.
The other one grew weary. "Dude, I think we should ditch this guy."
"U kidding? I dont care about the actual gender. Only the eSper one. Now what say u and I get a room?" Yeah, it usually worked. Damn
"Ok u guys. Stop haggling the nub. Hes with me." It was level 39, A-Man, coming to Maria's rescue.
The pushy guy isn't about to be cowed. "Really? Wat makes u think we cant make a couple of friends? It isnt ur business."
A-Man countered, "It is my business. I kno Maria irl. Do not make me report ur ass."
The weary guy caved. "Come on Getch, let's get out of here."
Reluctantly, Getch and his friend left.
"Whew. Itsa good thing those creeps didn't know u were really a girl. They would have never left."
"Thanks Andy. R guys here all like that?"
"Naw. Those guys r probably middle school students with no morals. Most guys in S4 r decent."
They friended each other on S4.
Maria smiled. "^^ my first friend"
"Lol. Hey u wanna join a room? U still need to be more acquainted with playing."
"Yea sure."
The two headed to the room panels.
"Andy, u choose."
"Ok, lets go into that room"
Neden-1
Whisper from A-Man: Wow, good thing we ended up on the same team, but our team is doing kinda bad. 38-45 Lets turn it around.
Maria ran off, running up a slope, where she saw a red guy standing between double gates shooting her teammate on a roof. Equipping her SMG's, Maria sprayed bullets at the red's head. Within a second, he died.
Rule two of any MMO shooter. Never stand and shoot.
Seeing another red coming from behind, she ran through the double gates and wall jumped onto the warehouse roof. The red who was chasing her was suddenly blasted and killed by her rooftop teammate, who had a strange dragon head as a weapon.
Maria: Thx! :o
Xero: No prob.
Turning right, Maria ran off the roof and up a flight of stairs to a clearing. Behind her, the two reds guys who she had seen earlier appeared. In front of her, a red girl stood with a baton and gauntlet weapon. Xero fell off the tall roof burning in green fire. They all converged on her. Crap
Pulling out her PS, Maria dashed attacked to the red girl, who hid behind her gauntlet. All of a sudden, Maria was stunned, frozen in her tracks. Double Crap
Then, the three red eSpers died to a flash of blue bullets. Maria turned to see A-Man with a guitar-like weapon.
A-Man: U should really be more careful.
Suddenly, A-Man flew, hit by a blue laser. Maria felt a crushing force collide with the side of her head. Having an out of body experience, Maria saw her body dissolve in green flames.
A-Man: Sniper? Are u serious?
Maria (Whisper): Let me handle him.
A-Man: Fine. Try not to die .
On respawn, Maria found herself in the warehouse. Ok, the shot came from over the sewers.
Exiting the warehouse, Maria sprinted across the rickety bridge to a group of boxes. She peeked around a box to get a better look. One guy with a sniper gun. Another guy keeping watch. Two sentry guns to prevent anyone from getting nearby. Looks like I'll have to do this from long range.
Pulling out her duel semi-rifles, Maria took aim and sprayed the two reds. Their lives ended with them burning in green flames.
Maria was then thrown about 10 feet by the girl with the gauntlet weapon, who snuck up on Maria from behind.
The red girl yelled, "HAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKKERR," and proceeded to pound Maria into oblivion. That is attempted to pound Maria into oblivion, because half a second later, she was blown up by Xero's dragon gun.
Maria: OMG. THX AGAIN.
Xero: lol np
And with another triple kill from A-Man, more blown up eSpers courtesy of Xero, and Maria killing another eSper, the game ended with Maria's side winning.
Maria: Well that was a good match.
The other team left, shouting things like, "HACKER!" "WE'RE GONNA REPORT U!" and "U SHOULD JUST LEAVE S4!"
Maria: Wat the? Why did they leave?
Xero: Looks like they see you as a hacker.
Maria: HOW SO? I DON'T KNOW ANY HACKS.
A-Man: Well maybe its cause of that Duel Semi-Rifle. They don't exist ingame.
Maria: Wait REALLY? I got it as a part of my start up kit.
A-Man: NO WAY? I WAS THINKING SKIN HACK ON SMG CAUSE PPL LOVE TO CUSTOM WEPS. BUT THIS IS INCREDIBLE. How long?
Maria: Permenent? .
A-Man and Xero: WTF! PERM? DO U KNOW THE STATS?
Maria: nooooo? .
A-Man: Lemme check.
A-Man scanned Maria's inventory and equipment.
A-Man: Holy Shet!
Maria: WHAT?
A-Man: They're FP :O
Xero: NO WAY.
Maria: Wats FP?
Xero: FP weapons resemble normal weapons with different skin and enhanced abilities. People with FP weps hit harder, run faster, and live longer. My Dragonade is one. A-Man's Guitar Gauss is another.
A-Man: U usually get FP weapons by buying I-Caps with PEN or G-Caps with AP. The only two that r different are the Taser Sword and the Crow Counter Sword, which u need coupons to buy. Coupons, ironically, come from I-and G-caps. There's an FP for every normal wep, except for Storm Bat.
Xero: A-Man, didn't u hear bout the experimental FP Bat?
A-Man: Yea, but I doubt they r gonna release it.
Xero: Well I hear that all GMs get one.
A-Man: Lol well if they were overruling dictators, then this might be bad. Luckily, they r fair ^^
Maria: OH YEA! Hey u guys did the tutorial right?
Xero and A-Man: Yea?
Maria: Well in the middle of the tutorial, a guy with a GM costume pops up!
Xero: Yea that happens. So?
A-Man: Yea It's a part of the programming?
Maria: Really? U had to follow him?
Xero and A-Man: Yes
Maria: And he gave u a challenge?
A-Man: Wait, I didnt have to go through that. What happened?
Maria told them about the tutorial hacker.
Xero: So there's a professional hacker running around.
A-Man: This is serious.
Maria: Well we can't tell for sure if he is good or bad yet.
A-Man: I know but I cant tell if he's trying to get u banned by giving you hacked weapons. Assuming that the Duel Semi-Rifle is hacked by that guy.
Maria: Who else could it be? I used these guns against that guy.
Xero: Can u get rid of them?
Maria: Nope. I cant trash em. :P But I wanna keep em anyways.
A-Man: Why?
Maria: I feel like it's a kind of Mark. And that the GM hacker is waiting for me to grow in S4. Like I have potential or something.
Xero: well thats up to you. Besides, ur better than most noobs I see.
Maria: lol I have experience.
Xero: Really? Well lemme friend u. and u too A-Man.
A-Man: Sure thing.
Maria: two friends ^^
A-Man: Man this is too much for a night. Ima get some shuteye. Night Maria! See you tomorrow.
Xero: Im logging out too. Bye Maria.
Maria: Bye you two! Take care!
As the two vanished, leaving Maria the only one in the room. Am I really destined for something in this game? ... Naw no way.
Maria headed to the main lobby. At about 3 am, the lobby was not as crowded as before. Maria took up a table in a corner and brought up a menu screen on her myPanel as well as a tutorial of each wep, studying them closely.
Little did she know, a dark figure sitting near the edge of the balcony was watching her. Hehe. GJ, little flower. Let's see what you can pull off in S4.
End chapy 3 xD well i'd better find time to get working on chpter 4. THX FOR READING!
