( Details and Plans)
(Shicksal's Headquarters)
Everything was peaceful and calm at Shicksal's Headquarters.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE LOST CONTROL OF THE AIDA!!"
Or not. Cello was on the verge to kill someone and that someone was Fluegel. Why? Nobody knows. Since they lost the control of Aida everything had gone wrong. The Aida has gone on a rampage on "The World" and they had to hunt them down and eliminate the small portion of the parasite that they where able to take control. The other Aida, the one who remain free, has taken measures to avoid the group and hidden itself somewhere within "The World". Not only that but since the break out the had decided to track down the ones responsible for putting two of their comrades in comas. They had save energy sign when the two had first appeared so that they could track them. But their search was all for not. Every time the got the signal it remained for minutes before it completely vanish. Their client was also not happy about it. He wanted to get the treasures without making a fuss and take over CCORP. But all has went wrong.
" How are we suppose to find them?! Every time we try to trace them they simply vanish! How can we counter attack these...these...whatever they are?!" Cello asked clearly frustrated.
" It appears that every time we track them , they are able to vanish without trace" Klarinette said with a frown.
" These guys are definitely more dangerous and powerful than The Twilight knights. Yet their organize and move alone, but strategically. For now these guys have moved when they seek the treasure and one of them is able to defeat a bunch of us. These guys are good." Fluegel said.
Just then Geist came bursting through the door, he look like he had something important to say.
" Guys! I just got videos revealing two guys along with the previous two. Here take a look." He push a button on a nearby wall making a huge screen appear. They used this to communicate with their client but now it was going to be use to reveal their superior foes. Once there Three pair of images appear on the screen. The members minus Geist stare amazed at what they where seeing. " Notice anything familiar?"
" One of them looks like.....but that can't be! The other I don't know. The other two are the ones that took out Tromel and Orgel." Cello said still staring.
" I also got the videos of how Orgel and Tromel meet their demised with perfect detail. Don't ask me how I got it, I had to go through a lot of crap to get this. You can see the one that resembles Tsukasa, wearing a dark long coat and his hair is black, taking Trommel out. And how the second eliminated Orgel. He resembles Kite but with a few dark features and changes. And Klarinette was right, he was able to injured Skeith with a single swing of his blade, that makes him the biggest threat."
" He took out Skeith with a single swing of his sword?! Thats not possible! Even we can't do that to him!" Cello said eyes widening.
" Yes well, theres more. As you can see both of the were recorded twice and with those two with them, which leaves us to assume that they're with them" Metronome added " Look at the third picture we obtain. You can see the Tsukasa and Kite impostors along with two others." She said bushing a button making the third picture get bigger. The other member where shock to see who was one of the figures along with the Tsukasa lookalike. " As you can see the one we don't know has some similarity's with Kite and the other is none other than Elk. Apparently he is one of the four that pose great threat to us and " The World" making him extremely dangerous" Metronome finish.
" I wonder what made Elk do these things. And more importantly, how is he there? He's supposed to be in a coma yet there he is. There's more than meets the eye here." Fluegel stated. He then sighted looking at the remaining group " We know now how the look like but under no circumstances are you aloud to face them. Not without the rest of the group. There all extremely dangerous and cunning. When the next treasure appears we all go to search for it. Got it?"
All nodded in the group not going to denied their leaders decision.
(New Moon Castle)
Four figure had gather to discuss a matter. Shadow had summoned them to tell them what he had found out and he didn't looked pleased, but he kept his cool.
" Alright. Now that everyone is present I would like to say a few words." Shadow began.
" Finally!The final phase of the plan can be executed! Good bye old "The World" and hello to the new one! And more importantly...NO more orders from the old hag!" Dark said excited. That is until Shadow smack him in the head.
" That is not why I have called you here." he said calmly.
" You mean the final phase isn't going to be executed? Dang." Dark said pouting a little.
" So why have you summon us here Shadow?" Cubia asked, curious to know.
" It appeared that Shicksal know of our identities" Dark frown at this. Cubia thought of it as nothing and as for Elk he had his eyes widen. " Yes Elk, all of us. They stole video images from CCORP revealing our appearance of each and everyone of us. The mistress, to evade further misfortunes, will use her powers to jam block visual and others while were on the area. So that only those who are in the area in the present moment will know whats happening if you get the drift."
" Yeah. Eliminate anyone who is in the present area while where there or stay hidden and avoid them" Dark said boredly.
" Exactly."
"Um....Shadow. Does...does..?" Elk tried to ask but was cut off.
" No Elk. The Twilight Knights, or more specifically Kite doesn't know your part of our group" Elk sighted relief " However, he will find out in time so you better be prepared" Elk now look sad but determined at the same time.
" Now that you have the information you are dismiss." With that said the four figures disappeared.
( Mac Anu)
The Twilight Knight had all gather for a meeting at Raven, G.U.'s headquarters since there they can be at full privacy. The meeting was about the lookalike and they where all interested on the topic. Balmung came front to begin his speech.
" As some of you know. There has been interruptions in the gathering of the treasures and Shicksal has been the least of our worries. The intruders appear to be a Kite and Tsukasa impostors. During the past few day we been trying to gather data around these two individuals to find out who are they and where can they be found." Balmung said to the group.
" So, what has been the results" Ovan ask wanting to know more about these individuals.
" Unfortunately nothing." Orca said in place of Balmung.
" What?!"
"How can that be ?!"
"I'm scared!"
The simple answer had thrown the group into a tantrum. Everyone was beginning to panic.
" Everyone settle down. Now, no information has been found of this two giving the possibilities they could be very advance A.I." Balmung continue.
" A.I.?! How can that be? They act way to human like to be A.I." Kuhn said clearly not believing what he was hearing.
" Yes but remember Kuhn, Azure Kite is an A.I. And he can act like a normal player or did you already forget Auras knights" Haseo said.
" Yes. But still Azure Kite has some traits that separate him from players. These guys haven't shown anything at all so we really can't assume that." Pi said.
Kite was frowning. 'They can't possibly be referring to that kid that attack me and Tsukasa a while back could they?'. Tsukasa was thinking the same thing.
" Well at any rate we know nothing more except the possibilities that they could be A.I." Orca said with finality.
" There is some one who might know their identities" Yata spoke gaining the attention of the group.
" Alright Yata spill it! Who is it?" Haseo asked.
Yata simply smirk " Well two people actually. The first would be the figures themselves, which is an impossibility . And of course there is Zelkova."
" UUUUUUUUUUGHHH.......... The little brat that has an obsession with me? Well I guess. After all he did help us with Cubia before, so maybe he can help us now." Hase said sighting.
" Yes but the problem is he hasn't been seen in a while and it would be tricky to find him." Yata informed the group.
Haseo look at two of his old comrades " Kuhn, Pi" the two nodded understanding what he was saying. " Leave that to us. We'll find the little squirt and bring him here."
" Right so..." Balmung began but was cut off by a blue ball appearing out of thing air, which later expanded to reveal a figure. Azure Balmung descended until his feet touch the ground. Everyone in the room was speechless.
" Kite" said player looked stunned " Aura wish to speak to you tomorrow as soon as you can. Go to (Delta) Celestial Gates of the White Maiden. Once your are in the field use Gate hacking and it will transport you to our realm." A. Balmung informed the twinblade.
" She does?! Wait! Why can she talk to me now?" Kite asked curious.
" Well.....Ummmm...." A. Balmung began to say.
( With Aura)
Aura had A. Balmung drying her hair while singing ' Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me'.
The two knights in the room had sweat drop the entire time. They learned Aura couldn't sing very well for she had broken two mirrors, three glass vases, and a window.
' How the heck I get into this situations!' A. Orca thought.
( Back with the group)
A. Balmung simply said " She's busy" and with that said he took off.
Kite was stupefied. Aura has just set for him a time a place when they could meet and he would be damn if he let it slide. He look at Tsukasa who simply nodded, understanding the situation. Kite would finally be rid of his demons once and for all.
" What the hell?!" Balmung said surprising the already disbelieving group. " That guy look like a zombie version of me! What the hell?!".
Kite simply shrug " There is one that looks like Orca too." Orca look like his eyes would pop out any second. " Well....I'll be login off now. See ya" Kite said smiling for the first time in a while leaving the confused group......confuse.
( Shicksal's Headquarters)
Geist was in deep thought while the rest of the group discuss their next movement. Their client, which they don't know who the heck he was, wants them to continue their search for the eight treasures of the wave. Not wanting to loose their pay, they continue making strategies and creating maps of where it was possible for be.
" Alright so we know the treasures are located in areas with words that had to do something with The Wave. So........" Fluegel continue his explanation while Geist was still deep in thought. Posaune, Geist closest friend, notice his strange behavior and decided to find out what was on his mind.
" Yo! Geist, whats the matter with you? Your awfully to serious today and that is so not like you." Posaune said knowingly.
Geist sighted before he replied " Its just that...things have gotten way out of hand. I mean we lost two of our comrades and all. So I was thinking....." by this time the whole group was listening " ...we could use some help". There was an awkward silence for a moment.
" You have got to be kidding me." Metronome finally said.
" So Geist, who do you have in mind?" Cello asked intrigued by what might the answer would be.
" Well..........I was thinking that we could ask......." he pause for a moment clearly nervous.
" Spit out already buddy. You already started it so might as well finish it" Posaune said.
" I was thinking that we could ask....the Twilight Knights?" once again the silence return.
" What?!"
" No way!"
"You have got to be kidding me"
" Hey give me a break I'm only fourteen. Beside it was a suggestion" It was true he along with Posaune where the youngest in the group, been fourteen an all.
" Well I think that mascara has finally affected your brain" Metronome said to Geist.
"Wait!" everyone stare at Fluegel " I think the kid on to something."
"WHAT?!" everyone shouted in unison.
" Think about it. If we team up with The Twilight Knights to fight this foes, there is a high percentage that we could beat them. After that we could settle the treasure thing later. Or have you not heard the saying ' The enemy of my enemy is my friend'".
" But thats just crazy! Beside how can we convince The Twilight Knights to join forces when we have cause all sort of trouble in " The World"" Klarinette finally said.
Fluegel pretended to think before saying " I don't think it will be that hard to convince them seeing their double ganger's are a much bigger pain than us. Besides....since it was Geist idea, then maybe he should be the one to ask them. I think thats fitting, don't you think?"
" Oh yeah"
" Positively"
" Sure"
" W-what?! W-Why me?!" Geist said clearly not wanting to be the one to go.
" Because my dear friend, You where the one that open your mouth so 'You' have to be the one that has to talk to them. Don't worry you'll be in our thoughts the whole time." Posaune said with a smile.
" Thanks a lot." Geist mumble.
" Now get to it Geist and find The Twilight Knights and tell us how it go" Fluegel said dismissing the kid.
" Roger" he said lowly before he departed.
" Are you sure it was wise to send Geist to ask for the alliance. I mean he's just a kid. And in front of our old rivals they could send him into a coma" Cello asked with worry.
" Don't worry Cello they're not that heartless. Beside if it works then we can actually fight back against these guys and as you can see they are not to be mess with." Fluegel answer her question.
" I just hope my buddy will be alright" Posaune said worry.
" Don't worry so much. He will be. Now as for my missing magazines......." she look at Posaune seriously which made him sweat drop. 'Oh Crap!' Posaune thought.
