Rebirth

Haseo had reached the final level of Sigma: Forever, Eternal, Nothingness. The area was a few levels lower than his current one so it was nearly effortless to reach the bottom. There were reports of a pker hanging around the area picking off all who neared the got statue yet there wasn't a single report of the character ever taking his victims items. So as one of the greatest pkks known to date he was constantly pestered about taking on the enemy. At first he didn't feel like it was any of his business but the constant bickering finally got to him and decided to go.

As he neared the got statue he heard the screams of players. They had obviously just been pked. Haseo used a speed charm to get to the got statue as soon as possible. When he arrived he saw the light that indicated that someone had just logged out of the area. He knew the person didn't make it to the warp gate because the warp out was done in the center of the room. When the light cleared Haseo saw a green haired male pc smirking. The pc was dressed in all black with a purple stripe going down each arm and leg. A tattered cape hung loosely over his body along with red bandages around his head. Taking a look at the pc's weapons he noticed the pc was a twin blade…but for some reason the pc's weapons were attached to its wrist instead of how pc's usually held their weapons.

The green haired pc turned to Haseo "oh? There seems to be another one." The pc smirked at him. "How about you hand over that member address and I let you leave with your life?" He gave a slight laugh.

This pissed Haseo off that someone thought someone can bully him into giving them his member address, especially after that incident. He reached for his dual guns "Just who the hell do you think are?!" He lunged forward trying to drive the blade of the gun into the player.

But the player blocked it effortlessly and smiled as him and Haseo went into a stand off "You're just like me."

"I am nothing like you!" Haseo swung his second gun and pointed it at the face of the player and fired one shot.

The player leaned back dodging the shot before going into a back flip landing on top of the chest in front of the got statue. "We've both contacted the goddess and gained power that far surpasses the system." Haseo stared back at the character in amazement. How did this character know he met Aura? How did it know how he obtained the Xth form? "However there is one thing we both share in common, we are both the first child of Morgana."

'What the hell? How does he know about epitaphs? And what does he mean we are both the first child? Is he trying to say he's skeith' were the words running through Haseo's mind. The screens color suddenly inverted causing Haseo to look around in shock. "This only happens when AIDA and…"

He didn't need to finish his sentence when he saw the strange pc glow in a red light as a deafening roar echoed through his headphones. When the light dissipated and the noise quieted the player no longer stood before him. It was now replaced by a large stone like figure with an incomplete ring as its horn. In its hand it held a crystal red staff with a cross in the center. The monster resembled something he was too familiar with. The monster resembled the first form of skeith. "What the hell are you?!" Haseo shouted demandingly.

The figure didn't respond. It just raised the staff which disappeared only to reappear behind Haseo. It lifted him into the air as the figure pointed its hand at him. A burst of light erupted from its hand and pierced through Haseo. The cross faded and returned to the monsters hand as Haseo dropped to the ground. Haseo looked up as everything turned black to see that the player character was back and standing above him with a smile. "I am Sora," was all the player said before Haseo's vision turned into nothingness.

Ryou Misaki bolted up right in his bed with a small yell. His breathing heavy and his body dampened with sweat. He looked around to see that he was in his room and not logged into The World, or worse a hospital bed. He looked to hi side and noticed the absence of something in his bead "…she gone" he said in a saddened tone.

"Hey so you're finally up? Have a little nightmare did we?" said a girl with messy brown hair as she walked into his bedroom grinning. She wore nothing but a rather large shirt that looked like if she were to stretch she'd show off a little too much. On the shirt was picture of the band Asian Kung-fu generation.

"No it wasn't a nightmare" it was an obvious lie and he knew she caught him in but she chose not to say anything. "Besides that," he began as he looked away from the girl "why are you wearing that?"

"I told you last night, I really sweaty. I woke up during the middle of the night and I just had to take a shower." She smirked to herself when she saw him flinch at the word shower. "But if you want me to" she tugged at the edges of the shirt "I can take it off." She laughed when she saw a blush completely cover Ryou's face. "I'm kidding. Geez Ryou can't you take a joke?" She walked over to the bed, plopping down next to him and leaned in close to him. "But then again who could blame you?" There was a small hint of seductiveness in her voice.

Ryou gave into it as he wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned in to kiss her when the ring of the door bell broke the mood springing the two out of the lover trance. "Oh crap, she's here too early! Ryou can you get the door I have to find some pants" she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before frantically searching through his drawers for the sought item.

"Who's here early?" Ryou asked he was ignored. "You can't just leave me like this" he sighed before getting out of bed. He walked to the door rubbing his neck "She really shouldn't break off a really heated kiss like that." He opened the door to find a woman on the other side. She was dressed in a light brown dress that contrasted her rather dark brown hair. She wore a huge smile on her face before she entered Ryou's home and began looking around. "Um…can I help you?"

The lady gave him a once over "hmm not bad. It seems she picked a looker. And considering the fact that that you two go to the same school you must be pretty smart."

Ryou was slightly caught off guard by the information she presented "how did you-"

The lady suddenly let out a gasp and rushed past Ryou. "Chika!" Ryou turned to see that the lady had just embraced Chika who was now wearing a pair of his pants. "So how was my little girl's first night at a boys?"

"Wait…little girl" Ryou questioned pointing to Chika before slowly moving his gaze to the older "Then that must mean that you're her"

"My mother" Chika said finishing his thought with an awkward smile.

"Oh um It's nice to meet you Mrs. Kuramoto" Ryou said bowing. "You have a very lovely daughter." He finished making Chika blush.

"Why thank you." Mrs. Kuramoto mused. "You know she takes after me, right."

Chika gave a nervous laugh "Mom you're embarrassing me."

"Come now Chika its fine to talk about such things with my possible future son-in-law." She said with a smile on her face yet seemed to be the only one in the room not wishing she took back those words. She clapped her hand together to break the eerie silence. "Now Chika if you don't mind I would like to talk to Ryou privately." She handed her daughter a bag and pushed her off in the direction of Ryou's room and closed the door before turning back to Ryou. "Now Mr. Misaki" she said her tone changing from the usual playful to one that sounded like an investigator. "I would like to ask you, what are your plans towards my daughter?"

Ryou flinched at the question. Had she really just asked that? He gave a nervous cough as he took a seat on the couch, Mrs. Kuramoto at across from him, "Um well nothing really. I really love your daughter and wish to spend the rest of my life with her and support her."

"I see. You do know that my daughter isn't that great of a cook because she tends to make instant ramen more then regular food."

"Yes she's told me. However with her dream of being able to travel all over Japan, I'm sure she'll pick up a few thing along the way." He replied with a smile.

Mrs. Kuramoto nodded with a smirk on her lips "So she's already shared her dreams with you, that's good. But I must ask you what is you current occupation?"

"I'm current working at a local grocer, why?" Ryou asked tilting his head.

"Just wondering, but how do you plan to support her with that kind of salary?" She asked as she crossed her arms. "I mean her love of book should take care of that."

"Oh this is just a temporary job. I plan to work along with my father later on in life. But if that doesn't work out I have a few connections to help me gain a job with a large company." He smirked back at the surprised woman.

"And just wear is your father?"

"He works for a company that causes him to travel a lot so he's rarely home."

"So that means…"

"Yes I basically live alone." As soon as he said that Ryou wished he could take it back.

"Oh really. She forgot to tell me that," Ryou did not like the look in her eyes. "Well here's the final question, how important is my daughter to you?"

Ryou was once again caught off guard by the woman's supposed random questions "Well I never really thought about" he replied looking off into the distance "well it's like this, you know that feeling you get when something happens to something happens to someone you care about and you wish you could change it no matter what? I would give up everything I had and even my life to make sure your daughter was alright. I've already lost her once and I don't plan to do it again." He balled his hand into a fist as they rested on his legs. "Last time I was too late. It was just a minute but in that single minute something I could have stopped happened and I had to watch her fade away in my arms." Mrs. Kuramto watched as Ryou began to shake and a small tear well up in his eyes. "I…I never want that to happen again!"

"Are you okay?" Mrs. Kuramoto asked sounding worried.

"I'll be fine. I was able to save her and that's all that matters." Ryou replayed the his words in his head again. 'Crap I think I just said a bit too much' he thought to himself.

A smirk spread across Mrs. Kuramoto's face "I see. So you're this Haseo I've heard about. First you steal my daughters heart in an online game and then in this world." Ryou looked back at her in astonishment. "What don't look at me like that, it was easy to figure out considering the fact that when she finally stopped playing and go to sleep she'd sigh and say your name and whenever she got an email from you she's be ecstatic and say how she had knew mail from you and laughed and giggled about some of the messages. She even got pissed off at a few."

Ryou gave a nervous chuckle at the mention of the e-mails. He silently prayed that she didn't read any of them. Especially the ones that were a little personal. "But I have to say the most memorable one was when she woke up in the hospital" Mrs. Kuramoto began but was interrupted when her daughter burst into the room. She was now dressed in a white button up shirt and a skirt that reached mid thigh.

"God if I'm in some sort of dream world, do not wake me up, ever!" Ryou said out loud but soon regretted it when Chika pinched his cheek.

"Mom can you not tell him that…It's kind of embarrassing."

"Aww what's the problem? It's a cute story." She explained and when she got no sign of protest she decided to continue. "Well like I was saying when she woke up from her coma the very first thing she did was say your name and how you were in trouble and she needed to help you." Ryou looked at Chika to see her blushing fiercely. "The doctors said not to let her but I decided to let her because she had that look in her eye that told me she would have found a way to do it even if I said no."

"…Chika" Ryou said in a low voice as he looked at the girl.

"Well that's enough stories for now." Chika said putting up a front to hide her emotions. "Can we go now mom?"

"Fine fine, it was nice meeting you Ryou." Mrs. Kuramoto said stood to leave and headed for the day.

"Well see you on Monday Ryou! And remember no staying up late playing game!" Chika said jokingly as she pushed her mother towards the door.

"Chika wait" Ryou said as he grasped her arm. He picked up the key she tossed on the table and placed in her hand. "You know, if you ever want to come visit."

Chika gave a slight giggle "thanks" she suddenly felt herself being taken into his arms as he pressed his lips to hers. When they broke Chika gave a gasp for air "I told you not to do that! Especially when my mom is right there!"

"So what she already knows. Plus it's your fault for leaving mid moment earlier! But I think that made up for it." Ryou said with a slight smirk.

Chika's face turned beet read before she gave a laugh. "Well I guess I helped to turn you into a real man huh? Well I gotta go" she then rushed out the house to join her snickering mom.

Ryou closed the door to his now silent home. The silence churned his thoughts until his dream resurfaced. He walked over to his computer and launched the world.

He slipped into the body of his character as he arrived in the city of Lumina Cloth. He quickly switched severs to Breg Epona and put in the key words of the area he dreamed about.

He made it effortlessly through the area just like in his dream but this time when he reached the got statue he didn't see anyone there. There was nothing but the usual chest. Feeling that the journey was pointless and that he should have something for his troubles he opened it. The message "You have obtained: Last Betrayal" appeared on the screen. They were twin blade weapons that were level 99. But his equipment list was full so he chose to discard them because they were weaker than his current equipment. The message "You have obtained: Last Betrayal" appeared on the screen. Haseo seemed confused. He entered the command to trash them again but the message appeared once more. "What the hell? I thought I threw these away?!" Haseo clicked to trash them once more but just like before, the message "You have obtained: Last Betrayal" appeared on the screen.

"Fine I get the hint." Haseo removed a random item from his inventory. The message "Equipped: Last Betrayal" flashed on the screen "Wh-what the-". Checking his inventory Haseo say that he had indeed now equipped the item. He tried to remove it but it reequipped themselve's. Just what kind of item were they? Haseo suddenly hear foot steps of other pc's coming. 'Time to have some fun' a voice said echoing in Haseo's mind.

The screen suddenly inverted as Haseo saw his character change into fractal code before the code morphed and reformed as something different from his usual character. When the transformation was over he looked just like the character in his dreams known as Sora. Haseo blacked out…

TBC

Freaky weapon yes? Well I know you don't really care but I chose the name Last Betrayal as the weapons name because it's the actual name of Sora's weapons! Well enough small talk, super awesome next episode guy take it away!

Announcer: Ryou awakens with no memory of what happened after obtaining the weapons. Checking his character he finds his character Haseo as it should be. Just who is this character Sora and why are those weapons clinging to him? It seems that they even seem to be warping his personality as they haunt Ryou with a past he can't even remember. Will his fiery love Chika be able to coax him through his problem or will he become engulfed by it. Next time on meeting you on the other side, Reminisce. See you in the next log in!
