( The Eye of Skeith)

( Between the realms of the world)

Two figures stood facing a throne. The chamber they where in had a wicked and dark theme making it look like a Gothic throne room. In front of them, sitting in the throne, was another figure, yet this one was feminine. The two figures, one wearing a black cloak while the other wore a long open black robe, awaited patiently for the figure in the throne to speak. Well, one of them anyways.

" How long are you going to make us wait!" the figure in the robe stated, impatiently.

The figure in the throne's eyes twitch. The other figure smack the first one in the back of his head, pleasing the one in the throne.

"Ow! What was that for?!" the first whined.

" For being stubborn as always now be patient. She'll tell us when she seems fit. Now stop being a baby ." the one in the cloak said.

" AM NOT!" the first whined.

" Then stop acting like one! Gods of the 'The World' your giving me a headache" the figure in the throne replied " Now on to business."

" Finally!" the first said.

The female figure twitch again ' Darkness give me strength' she thought before taking a deep breath. " As I was saying one of the key items we seek has just been activated. Now here's what......." before she could finish, her sentence was cut off.

" Finally! Now we get to do something! Let's go." the first grab the second figure wrist and began to pull him in his direction.

" Not so fast! You will be going alone." she said from her throne.

"Huh? What the hell! We always do our job together you old hag!" the first said in an incredulous state.

The figure in the throne eyes twitch ' God of Death give me patients with this brat!' The second figure was curious as well. Indeed they did every job given to them together, so it was rare that she only wanted one to go.

" With all do respect mistress but, why do you only want him to go and not the both of us? What he says is true after all. This is truly unexpected." the one in the cloak said.

" Indeed. But I think he is more capable of handling this on his own. Now go. I expect a successful mission from you, do not disappoint me." the figure in the throne said.

The first figure sighted " Fine" was all he said before before he disappeared in a small blizzard.

" Now" the tone in her voice became much more serious " Whats the status on your little mission."

" All is going well mistress. Everything is slowly falling into place. Soon we will have everything we need to cleanse this world." he replied in a monotone voice.

" Excellent. Soon everything will be as it should be." she said with an evil look in her eyes.

( Shicksal's headquarters)

A woman was standing in front of a huge computer screen reading the incoming data that was purring in.

" Fluegel. One of the items our client requested has just appeared in a dungeon. Its readings are off the chart."

" Excellent work Metronome. Now that one of our main targets has just appeared on its own, all we have to do is take it." he said calmly.

" Let me go and retrieve it. I need some action anyways." a Canadian voice said.

" Fine. Do as you wish Tromel. Bring the treasure to us as soon as you can." Fluegel instructed.

" With me there no one will dare to oppose me! HAHAHAHA." Tromel laugh in his Canadian voice.

" Dude! Why the hell are you talking like that?" one of the members asked.

The room went silent " Oh shit" another one said.

" NO QUESTIONS!" Tromel roared as he grabbed the guy and through him out the window.

" I'm sorryyyyyyyyyy" the guy who was sent flying said as he disappeared in the distance.

" Riiiiiiiiiight. Just go" Fluegel said. Tromel shortly left.

( Mac Anu)

The PC stood in the dome were the teleport gate stood. Tsukasa, Shugo, and Rena stood patiently awaiting the arrival of Balmung. He had sent them an urgent message telling them to meet him at the gate for a important meeting. So far he had yet to arrive.

" I wonder where Balmung could be right now." Rena said.

" Who knows." Tsukasa said annoyed " But the guy is so dead. We came here for an important meeting and he has yet to show his face around here."

" Aw common Tsukasa to be too hard on him. He's as busy as hell with all thats been happening here. I'm sure he'll pop up on us any second now." he said while leaning on the front doors.

At that moment the front doors burst open with force. Balmung stood there panting, clearly he came in a rush.

" About time you got here." Tsukasa said.

" Sorry. Got held up with the paper work and all." Balmung work for CCcorp and was always full with paper works and all. " Thanks you guys for coming, and waiting, here on such short notice. Huh? Where's the heck is Shugo? I thought he would be here by now."

" He is. He's behind the doors you burst open." Tsukasa rplied.

Balmung blink. He turn around and swung the door to reveal none other than Shugo, squash against the wall behind him. " Um...yeah. Sorry about that." the winged man apologies.

" Hehe.......... Thats alright. I'm okay, see." He put one of his grins, and as he did one of his front tooth fell from its place.

Tsukasa stared at Shugo before turning to Rena " Does that always happens to him?"

" Definitely." Rena answer.

" Okay....on to busyness then." Balmung said, clearly amused by old habits, " There's been a strange signal coming from an area just recently. We have reasons to believe that the signals are coming from one of the treasures of the wave. We want you three to head for that area and investgate and if possible retrieve the treasure for us to safe keep."

" Why us then? I'm sure other people could do a better job than us." Tsukasa said with a bored tone.

" I know! It's because were the more capable ones to retrieve the treasure. Am I right." Shugo said making a toothless grin.

Balmung cough " Actually, you guys were the only one available at the moment since no one else is logged in right now."

" Figures." Tsukasa replied while the other two sweat drop.

" Never the less its an important mission that must be done. If it is a treasure of the wave I'm sure you guys won't be the only ones there, if you know what I mean." Balmung said turning serious.

" Shicksal. We better get going then, whats the name of the field anyways?" Rena spoke.

" Right. Your destination is at (Delta) Fallen White Devil . Its a pretty high lvl considering its in a delta server so take precautions. We also suspect the monsters there are infected, so they'll be even more difficult to kill. You guys got that?"

" Yeah."

" Of course!"

" Whatever."

Balmung almost pop a vein at the last answer ' What an optimistic guy he is' he thought sarcastically. " Well then I wish you luck. I'll be with other CCcorp members to discuss further matters."

With that Balmung immediately log out leaving the trio to their mission. All three went to town to re-stock on supplies and everything else they might need for their mission. After thirty minutes Tsukasa and Rena were ready, but Shugo had yet to show up.

" Where is he?!" Rena asked impatiently.

At that moment Shugo came running in their direction " Hey guys! I'm all set up, we can go anytime now."

" Where were you?" Tsukasa asked in a bored tone.

" I was just checking that everything I bought was necessary for where we're going," ' And I saw these cool looking blades on the store. Too bad they were to expensive. Stupid bastard of a salesman.' he thought while faking a smile.

Tsukasa and Rena weren't fooled. " Yeah right. Lets just get this over with." Tsukasa said. The other two nodded before using the gate to warp to their destination.

( Between the realm of 'The World', White Room)

The three knights waited patiently for Aura to appear. She had been waiting for her knights to reports the status of 'The World'. Unfortunately when they did came she had mysteriously disappeared and now the were the ones waiting for her to show up.

" Hm? I wonder where lady Aura is?" A. Orca asked.

" Who knows. She comes and goes as she pleases. Maybe she spying on that Kite guy she always talking about." A. Balmung replied.

A. Kite fists tighten and he almost let a growl loose, but was able to suppress it. At that moment Aura appeared in the room, clearly looking in a hurry.

" Sorry I wasn't here before. I had to check on some file. Now what information you have gather for me my loyal knights." she said in an apologetic voice.

" Well, the attacks on towns and fields have degrees since the incident with the towns. Mac Anu, the town we couldn't protect, was saved by Kite and his group. Even though the damage done to the town was high, we were able to restore it to its original state." A. Balmung reported.

" Thank goodness Kite was there to help the town." Aura said with relieve in her tone.

A. Kite had to retain himself once more so a growl wouldn't be heard. ' He won't be so lucky when I'm done dealing with him. Once he's out of the way everything will be even better.'

" In addition to A. Balmung info. One of the treasure of the wave has just revealed itself in (Delta) Fallen White Devil. A group of The Twilight Knights are heading over there to retrieve the treasure as we speak." A. Orca added.

" Is Kite in that group?" A. Kite asked out of nowhere.

The other three looked at him oddly. " Um...no. Kite isn't log in, so another group of three was sent to the area. Why do you ask?" A. Orca asked.

" No reason. In addition to what A. Orca just said a Shicksal member is also headed to that field." A. Kite said to cover up suspicion.

" Who is the member heading to the field?" Aura asked.

" The big one with the Canadian voice." A. Orca replied.

" Oh dear." was all that Aura said.

( (Delta) Fallen White Devil)

The trio had shortly arrived on the field and the first thing they notice was the data distortion. The area was obviously corrupted, so anything they encounter here was a potential danger.

" Alright you two lets get this thing over with and fast. Here's what we are going to do, we'll head directly to the dungeon and avoid every single monster we find. There's no time to waste on these thing and Balmun said their infected so their harder to kill. Got it?" Tsukasa said to the other two.

" Yeah." Rena replied.

" Alright then! Let's go this way!" Shugo exclaimed.

" No! Don't there's a ..........." Tsukasa started but wasn't able to finish for Shugo walk right into two infected monsters of the field.

" Crud!" Shugo said.

The monsters let out a roar before charging at the trio, ready to kill them. Shugo side step quickly and took out his blades. He jump high and came down on top of one of the monsters head intending to kill him with the blow. Before impact a shield appeared and block the blade's strike. Shugo was repeled.

" Just my luck! These thing have physical tolerance!" Tsukasa said annoyed. " You two use whatever spells you got and hit these things with them. Don't hold back!"

The two did what they were told. He battle lasted for a while, but after several spells, potion, and healing elixir they were able to bring the two beasts down. They were sweating a little but nothing mayor. Tsukasa turn to Shugo and looked at him strait in the eyes.

" Now I'm going to say this one more time, Shugo. We are heading to the dungeon and AVOID every monster we may find. That means we can't be SEEN or WASTE TIME on these things. Got it!"

" Okay, okay! I made one tiny mistake, it won't happen again." he said to his defense.

Unfortunately for the group, or rather Rena and Tsukasa, Shugo's curiosity got the better of him and they end up fighting many monsters. In addition to the previous problems, they were now being chase by a huge mob of monsters.

" Since when the hell the monsters of this game can form huge mobs and chase us?!"Tsukasa asked while running from the huge mob.

After an hour or so the were able to defeat the huge group of creatures chasing them around the field. They were all tired from the whole ordeal. The worst part was that they didn't gain exp points because they were infected monsters and didn't allow so, so it was worthless. Tsukasa was leaning on his staff, Rena did the same thing with her huge sword, and Shugo was on the ground panting. Tsukasa, after regaining his breath turned to glared at him.

" Shugo, what part of NOT BE SEEN did you not understand?!"

" I'm sorry! Don't worry it won't happen again." he said quickly. However Tsukasa still looked pissed.

" Of course it won't, thats because you ended up attracting EVERY FUCKING MONSTER ON THE ENTIRED FIELD!" his shout echo through the now empty field.

" Oh." was all he said.

" Now we are going to enter the stupid dungeon and AVOID the one's inside. Is that clear?" Tsukasa hissed.

" Um....yeah?" Shugo replied now nervous.

" Good. Now lets go." Tsukasa went inside the dungeon after he finish his sentence.

Rena walk next to her brother " You better behave Shugo, I wouldn't want to end on Tsukasa's bad side."

Shugo sighted " I know. I just can't help myself. But this time I won't mess up." with that said the two walk into the dungeon to catch up with the older teen. Unfortunately it was dejavu all over again. Shugo had, once again, manage to to attract every monster in the dungeon making them fight them all and waste even more time. Worst of it all they had to go through sixteen floor with these and no exp. After an agonizing battle the trio manage to get to the final floor and currently where right before the door where the treasure lies. Tsukasa was breathing hard on the floor, he was currently sitting down with his back against the wall for support. Shugo was on all four, also breathing hard, and Rena was with her face planted on the floor unmoving, the other two boys wonder if she pass out or simply die of exhaustion. Tsukas, once again, turn to Shugo looking pissed.

" Shugo. When this is over remind me to pick up my staff AND SEND IT THROUGH YOUR ASS!" he shouted. Shugo paled.

Tsukasa slowly rose from his position, the other two shortly following after. They took a moment to catch their breath before continuing their quest. Tsukasa opened the doors where the treasure lied and walked in, other following close behind. They were currently walking through a hallway, in the distance could be heard noises.

" Heads up you guys. Looks like we're not alone in here." Tsukasa told the other two. He receive two nod of confirmation before continuing their way. Approaching the end of the hallway the noises turn out to be a battle of some sort. At the and they saw a huge man battling a monster that looked different from the monsters they had faced. The mans PC was huge, along with huge muscle, and clearly looked like some wacked up comic book hero. The huge man was currently avoiding an attack from the beast and deliver a finishing blow to the monster right in the head, crushing his skull. The monster fell on the floor before turning gray and finally disappearing. The man looked like he had a thought time with the thing.

The man gave a hearty laugh " You see you pathetic thing, no one can defeat Tromel from Shicksal" the man continue to laugh in his Canadian voice clearly not taking notice of the presence behind him. Tsukasa smirk ' Good we have the element of surprise on our side. All we have to do is.............' his thoughts were interrupted by a loud voice.

"Hey ugly! Back off from the treasure!" Shugo shouted. If the man haven't notice them before, he did now. Tromel turned around to face the new intruders.

Tsukasa hit his face with his palm ' Note to self. After this is done, Kill Shugo!'. He quickly compose himself before speaking " I see Shicksal wasn't going to pass the opportunity to get one of the treasures. To bad your trip was in vain, we'll be taking that treasure if you don't mind."

Tromel smirked at him " Oh really? Well it's to bad for you then. I'll be the one taking the treasure of the wave. Our client will be very pleased with my find and once we give him all of the treasure plus Aura there's going to be a huge reward for us. So why don't you just turn around and leave, little man."

Tsukasa was now pissed but before he could speak Shugo interrupted " Say now? Why do speak like that? Are you Canadian or something?" Tsukasa sweat drop, clearly this wasn't the time for stupid questions. Shugo, unsuspectingly, was hit in the face with a huge boulder.

" NO QUESTIONS!" Tromel roared. " Now, as I was saying. I'll be the one leaving with the treasure in my hands and as for you, I'll delete you and send your minds into a coma. The less Twilight Knight we deal with the better. Now, is there any questions?"

" Um..yeah. Why did you hit me with........UGH!" Shugo was once again hit with a boulder in the face.

" I SAID NO QUESTIONS!" Tromel once again roared. Tsukasa was sweat dropping ' Great we're dealing with a nut job here.' .

" OW! You Mother Fu........." Shugo was cut off.

" ARE YOU MOCKING ME?!"

' This is going to be hell' Tsukasa once again thought before getting into battle stance. " Alright! Thats enough talking from both of you. We'll be leaving with that treasure and if we have to fight for then so be it." Shugo and Rena both got into battle stands as well.

Tromel chuckle " I like to see you try, little man!". Tromel jumped high in the direction of the group before slamming his huge fist right into the trio. Said trio jump out of the way before the fist made impact. The attack made a whole in the ground before Tromel slowly stood up and smirk at the three. " This is going to be fun, FOR ME THAT IS!"

The giant charge for Rena first since she was the closet one to him. " Oh no you don't!" Tsukasa began chanting for one of his spell. As Tromel approach a fire wall rose from the ground surrounding Rena, effectively stopping the giant on his tracks.

" Clever, but not good enough!" he punch the barrier with his fist. He continue to put pressure on the barrier " Your little friend won't be safe for long!" soon after that the barrier crumple, but inside was empty. Tromel blinked " What the?! Where did she go?"

" Its called a distraction idiot." Tsukasa smirked. Rena swung her huge sword slamming it against the giant making him take a few step back, but did little damage.

" Your efforts are futile, just give up already!" Tromel said.

" In your dreams bastard!" Shugo came from behind kick the giant in the back knocking him temporarily before preforming a triple strike on him. When the move was done he jumped out of the way before preforming a vak don. He landed perfectly next to his comrades. ' He may be a pain in the ass, but hes good at this battle thing.' Tsukasa admitted in his mind.

" Had enough? What the .....?!"

Tromel slowly rose from where he laid. " If that all you had to offer I suggest you surrender now." he said with a smirk.

" Well take those chances." Rena answer in behalf of the other two.

" Then die!" Tromel punch the ground with force sending a shock wave toward the group. Shugo and Rena jump out of the way, while Tsukasa summoned a barrier o protect himself. The attack hit the barrier and Tsukasa was having a hard time holding it off. He use some of his strength to finally break the attack before he began to chant and sent one of his own attacks, a huge sphere of fire, hurling toward the giant.

" This is nothing!" Tromel used both hands to hold the sphere, he struggle a little before he sent the attack back at the one who cast it. This time Tsukasa moved out of the way, seeing as to not waste more energy in repelling attacks. Shugo, once again, came from behind the giant to try to attack him again. However the behemoth saw this and block the young twin blade's attack before grabbing him a throwing him against the wall.

" O hell no! I know you didn't just hurt my brother you piece of SHIT!" Rena charged and preform an shield breaker on Tromel, effectively repelling the giant away. She quickly ran to her brother " Are you alright?"

" Yeah, just a little shaken." Shugo replied.

" Watch out!" Shugo and Rena barely miss the enormous fist that slam against the spot they stood. Tromel didn't stop there, he started chanting a spell after the attack. After a few seconds huge boulders floated all around the giant, and with the wave of his hand the boulders hurled in the trio direction. They tried evading them but they were too many and thus got hit with a few boulders, taking some of their HP.

The group quickly got up from their position and continue with their attacks. The trio fought the giant with everything they got, but the behemoth return from blow to blow. The group were fighting for what seemed like hours. The trio looked exhausted, they were all panting hard and holding they were barely able to hold their weapons properly. Tromel, on the other hand, looked a little tired too. He was panting but not as much as the group.

" Give up! You guys are at your limit, while I on the other hand can go on for a while longer. Plus I can heal myself to last even longer! It's over!" Tromel stated.

Tsukasa growled ' He's right. We have wasted a lot of our items and energy on this guy and we are not even near to beating him. If something doesn't happen soon we'll end up like the other comatose victims!'

" It ends here! ENERGY STORM!" Tromel roared while launching a barrage of beams heading strait for the group.

' NO. There's to many to avoid, this really is the end!' Tsukasa thought while eyes widen. Shugo stood right in front of Rena ready to protect her from the attack.

But before impact all the energy beams heading toward the room froze in ice before dispersing into beautiful white snow. The group was hit by the snow instead of the attack.

" What the?!" Tromel was dumbfounded.

" It's.....It's snow." Shugo said the obvious.

A voice chuckle inside the room " My, my. So this is all the great Tsukasa can do? Pretty pathetic if you ask me, but I must give you some credit for lasting against a weakling PC such as him."

" WHAT?! YOU DARE MOCK ME!" Tromel roared at nothing in particular.

" Can you be any louder? Damn! You scream worse than a banshee." the voice replied in a cool tone.

" SHOW YOUR SELF, YOU COWARD!" Tromal was now pissed.

The voice chuckle " Well...........since you asked nicely...." the voice said playfully " Okay."

The icy snow that surrounded the trio began to whirled around into a blizzard in a spot. A figure could be see in the mist of the blizzard, slowly the blizzard began to die down. A figure stood between the trio and facing Tromel. He was wearing a long black coat that reached to his black boots, the goat also had a hood but the figure didn't use it. Two silver string hung loose at the end of both ends of the hood. He also wore black pants and black shirt, but couldn't be seen easily. However, the most shocking thing about the intruder was that he looked like Tsukasa himself, except his hair was pitch black, his eyes were onyx black, and the markings on his face were violet colored. Everything else he looked exactly like Tsukasa, hight, looks, and all.

The lookalike chuckle at the stares he was receiving " What? Am I that good looking?" Nobody answer because they were still dumbfounded.

Shugo was the first the first to speak " I didn't know Tsukasa had a twin brother." he said with an innocent face. Rena fell, anime style, Tromel looked incredulously at him, the figure sweat drop, and Tsukasa almost pop a vein ' He can't be as stupid as he looks. Can he?!'

" Anyways I'll be taking the treasure, if you don't mind." he said with a smile.

" In your dreams, punk! The only thing you'll be taking ARE MY FISTS" Tromel charged intending on crushing the guy who insulted him. He fist came in contact with the floor since the figure doge the attack. Tromel kept swinging punches at him, but his opponent was able to doge them with ease. At this point Tromel was burning with rage " YOU LITTLE PRICK! I WILL DESTROY YOU!" he summoned the huge boulders around him and send them hurling at his direction. The figure doge them by jumping from one boulder to another, evading every single attack.

" Woah!"

" Amazing" Rena said not taking her eyes of the fight.

Tsukasa still had wide eyes, the guy was good. Very good. ' Just who the hell is this guy? And, why does he look like me?'

The intruder landed gracefully in the same spot as before. " Temper, temper. The more angry you get, the more focus you loose and the easier it is for me to beat you." he taunted with a smile.

Tromel looked like he was about to explode " YOU LITTLE INSECT! HOW DARE YOU MOCK ME! YOU MOTHER FUCKING BITCH! THIS WILL CRUSH YOU LIKE THE NOBODY YOU ARE! DIE! ENERGY STORM!" many energy shots were sent at the intruders direction.

Tsukasa simply stared ' The amount of those energy beams are double that what he sent us. Theres no way he can doge that many' he thought.

The attacks made a huge explosion around the figure, lifting a huge cloud of dirt. Everyone, minus Tromel, shielded their eyes.

Tromel laughed in his Canadian voice " You see! No one can beat me!" But his confident looks quickly melted away when the dust cleared out. When the dust vanish they all saw a huge ice wall right in front where the lookalike stood, the ice was untended. Suddenly the ice wall glow before it vanish into glowing particles that look like snow, revealing an unharmed lookalike. " No way" Tromel said in disbelief. Tsukasa's thought were exactly the same.

The lookalike chuckle, clearly amused " Is that all? Well then this'll be quick." His expression change to a smirk. He dash forward toward the giant in an unbelievable speed and punch him right in the stomach, sending him flying right against the wall. Tromel fell face first onto the floor, he slowly got up.

" Is that all?" Tromel asked shakingly.

The lookalike summoned a wicked looking staff. It was black with red markings, the orbs that floated at the top part of the staff had a snow white color. The figure still held the smirk " Hardly." pointing his staff in his direction. Ice spikes poked right under the giant , impaling his and lifting him into the sealing. The ice quickly turned into water letting the behemoth fall to the floor, but the water stayed in the air. The behemoth hit the floor hard. The water quickly joined together and formed a spike, which turn into ice instantly before falling right onto the behemoth once again impaling him before exploding doing more damage.

Tromel barely got up from the impact zone. He was bleeding heavily in his mis section and was coughing a lot of blood. His vision was blurry and every fiber of his being hurt like hell. " How........how....are ...you..so.....powerful? No...one .....could...be...me!" he spoke with difficulty.

The lookalike held his staff with his left hand and stretch in the beaten giant direction. An all too familiar digital ring formed in his right hand expanding to reveal a bracelet. Everyone's eyes were the size of dinner plates. The figure simply smirk " Because I am." he said before he fired a wicked looking data drain. The attack impaled Tromel sending him flying to the wall, he was screaming in terrible pain. The attack came so strong he went through the wall. The trio looked in amazement and fear. One could see the data flowing down through the wall. Tsukasa located Tromel's body before it disintegrated into nothingness.

Shugo looked at the lookalike " What did you do?"

" Oh nothing much. I just data drain him and send his mind and spirit into a dark abyss well he'll be trapped forever while his body goes in a state of a coma." he said with a smile.

Rena gasp. The lookalike went to the treasure chest and pick an odd looking crystal, it had the shape of an eye. " So, this is the eye of skeith. About time I got it."

" Hey, you! Who the hell are you?!" Tsukasa asked, eyes' narrowing.

The figure smile in his direction " My, my aren't we curious" he said chuckling " My name is Tsukasa of course."

Tsukasa's eyes widen. The lookalike chuckle " Dark Tsukasa. You can call me Dark to avoid confusion."

" Who the hell are you?!" Tsukasa was now getting pissed.

" Thats for me to know and for you to find out." The figure said this time smirking.

" What do you want with the treasures?" Shugo asked.

" Same answer as the white hair kid." he simply replied wit a shrug.

" Yeah, right. If you think you'll be taking that item you got another thing coming!" Tsukasa hurled water balls toward the dark wave master.

Dark chuckle before freezing the water attack and turning them into ice particles " Face it Tsukasa, I'm out of your league. Why don't you go home to daddy and brag about it. Oh wait, he's a drunk baster who beats you up for even breathing! Good thing Bear took ya in, huh?"

Tsukasa froze completely, his eyes were wide and he was shaking " H-How do you know t-that?"

" I know many thinks about you, Tsukasa. What you like, what you dislike and of course......" the figure chuckle " your sexual orientation that you try to hide oh so hard."

Shugo was confuse now " Sexual orientation? Tsukasa is straight, isn't he?" Tsukasa was blushing from both embarrassment and anger.

" Straight as a bent arrow." Dark chuckle again.

" SHUT UP!" Tsukasa shouted launching fire based attacks. Dark jump out of the way.

" Temper, temper Tsukasa. Or..." he pointed his staff in Tsukasa direction " I'll have to dispose of you three right here, right now." he smirk. " Oh to hell with it! I'll just eliminate you right now!"

But before he could launch another ice spell a blue light came from behind him. Dark eyes widen before quickly turning around. He barely jump out of the way of the blade that slash his way. He landed several feet's away and looked at his attacker. There stood a man that looked like a freaky version of Balmung.

" By the order of lady Aura you are to surrender the item and come with me to be questioned." the Balmung copy said.

" Hm. Looks like my fun ends for now." Dark turned to Tsukasa and smiled " I'll be seeing you later kid." with that said he jump into the air before a blizzard whirled around him and disappeared.

" That's......impossible. He disappeared without a trace. This is most troubling. You three." he stated to the trio " please evacuate the area. There might more danger lurking in this place. Farewell for now." with that A. Balmung turned into the blue sphere and left the area.

All three of them were still trying to grasp what just happened. All seemed so unreal to them.

" What just happened?" Shugo asked the group.

" I don't know. I really don't know." Rena replied.

" What ever just happened things just got a lot more complicated. Looks like Shicksal ain't the only thing we need to worry about." Tsukasa turned to look at the others " Lets get out of here. I think Balmung and the others may want to hear this." The other two nodded before logging out. Tsukasa looked back at the room one more time " Who are you?" he asked to no one in particular, yet the answer laid in his mind ' That's for me to know and for you to find out.'

There we go another chapter done. So far I like it I hope the readers do too. Review and remember NO FLAMES. Peace to all.
