A/N: Time for the next episode! This time, we're going to introduce another 3 main characters to the scene, but I'm not telling! You have to read it to believe it! So, let's get online!

It's Her Party and I'll Crash I Want To: Part 1

At downtown of Southdale at night, a burglar is running down to the street as a shadowy figure is chasing him through the rooftops. At first, he along his gang laughed at the figure due to his weak appearance, but after seeing his comrades defeated by him, he was afraid not only by the figure's strength and speed, but also its terrifying weapon in his hands.

After he trips a trash can, he then thinks in panic, "What should I do? He beaten down my gang, ransacked my hideout, and he's got a scythe like the Grim Reaper!"

At another scene in the forest at night, a 14-year old boy wearing a leather jacket is also chased by a shadowy figure through the trees.

"This brat is so annoying, but he's too terrifying to stop him now!" he thought in panic. "The rumors said he hunts down not only avatars who harass and scam other avatars, but he also hunts down hackers and bot users, too! This avatar also has an exclusive, but terrifying title."

"Dark Reaper"

As he tries to dodge the trees as fast as he can to avoid the figure, he continues to think, "I thought those rumors about him are just a bunch of baloney. But seeing how he killed those other avatars, including my informants, he is no joke!"

Back in Southdale, the burglar continued to run, and ducked into an alley. He waited a few moments, then peeked out and saw nothing. Believing he'd lost his pursuer, the burglar sighed with relief.

Suddenly, a dark figure jumped on top of him from above knocking him to the ground.

In the forest, the boy looked behind him and saw nothing. He figured he'd lost the figure and turned around… only to see the figure standing right in his path. The figure then kicks him to the ground.

In a split screen, moment the figure stood over both the cowering burglar and boy with a menacing look.

"Who are you?" they asked at the same time.

"Your worst nightmare," the figure said as it advanced on them.

The scene abruptly cuts to a bedroom where a certain boy is playing some kind of computer game on his brother's computer as he somehow snaps out of trance. As he stares at the computer after that, he then inserts some kind of USB flashdrive as a window pops up on his computer screen, showing a picture of a blue-haired girl and a blonde-haired boy at the shopping district in the other day.

He then zooms in the picture and noticed two watches with different designs. "This confirms it, they are ULO players, but they are somehow able to change into their avatars like me," the boy quietly said to himself. "But the question is who are they? Where they come from and how did they able to change like me?"

He then stares at his own watch, which it has a black wing-shaped design.

"Something's not right here."

Then another window suddenly pops up without warning as it shows a red exclamation point.

"Whatever it is, my next target might lead me to those two."

Then his eyes turn from green to purple as he finishes, "It will give me an answer about all this hullabaloo that's happened in the last few days."

The next day at Fils-Aime Moffitt School, Mr. Bigby leads a 12-year old dark red-haired boy through the hallways as he says to him, "I think you're really gonna like it here in the US."

The boy wears burning orange long-sleeved turtleneck, red vest with a fire logo on the right, dark red parts, and firey red sneakers. Not only he's new to this school, but he's also new at America.

"And this is the Mid-School Zone," Mr. Bigby said as he opened the door and showed the boy inside." It's a place where middle schoolers such as yourself can unwind and such and get away from high schoolers if they need to."

The boy looked around and noticed a lot of the girls were staring at him and talking about hi, some of them love struck.

"Whoa, look at the new kid."

"He's kinda hot."

"I think he's dreamy."

"Well ladies," the boy said slyly. "Why don't you gather around for a closer look?"

Immediately the girls did just that, and started fawning over him and asking questions. The boy ravished in the attention…until a certain blonde boy walked in, diverting their focus to him instead.

"Good day ladies," he said.

"Hi Zeus," the girls said. About half of them left the new boy to fawn over Zeus, much to the boy's ire. After a few minutes, the girls left Zeus alone and went back to their business, leaving the boy to walk up to Zeus.

"Okay who do you think you are?" the boy said in anger.

"Excuse me?" Zeus said.

"You, stealing the spotlight away from a new kid like me."

"Geez I'm sorry, Mr. CockyPants. No need to get nasty."

"Hey, don't tell me what there is no need for. You ain't the boss of me."

"Well, you know what, I'm not sorry and you're a jerk."

"And you are a dweeb."

The two glared at each other for a while and then the boy walked off. He then approached a girl on the computer and says, "Well, how's it going, li'l sweet?"

But when the chair turns around, it revealed that Jordan is in front of the computer as she noticed the dark red-haired boy and screams in horror, which he does the same as he saw her face.

"WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" the two shout in horror.

"You're supposed to be in Manila!" Jordan shouted.

"And you're supposed to be in New York!" the boy shouted back, which Zeus became confused at this event.

"Uh, I take it you and this guy know each other," Zeus said as he walked up to them.

"Unfortunately yeah," Jordan said. "Say hello to my cousin from the Philippines, Brenton Revie. Bren for short."

"We've already met." Zeus growled.

"Yeah," Bren growled back.

"I see," Jordan said, somewhat realizing. "Anyways, what are you doing here in Los Angeles anyhow?"

"Well the guys at Toyota promoted my dad, to manager of the LA branch," Bren explained. "And I didn't want Dad to have to be all by himself so I figured I'd tag along."

"Wait, so Uncle Kelo is here," Jordan asked. "What about Aunt Rosalina? And Mila, Jomar, Sila, and Ken?"

"Who are those guys?" Zeus asked.

"My little brothers and sisters," Bren said. "They're all back in Manila."

"Man, I really wished you were all here," Jordan said. "Would have been great to see them all again."

Just then Zeus noticed the clock, and that the period was about to end. Remembering the last time, he grabbed his bag and tapped Jordan's shoulder.

"Uh, Jordan. We best get going unless we want to nearly get caught in the rush again," he warned her. She looked at the clock and saw he was right.

"Whoa, we best go now," Jordan said as she grabbed her backpack and the two ran out the door. Bren followed and asked, "What rush are you talking about?"

Just then the bell rang, and the usual stampede of kids came rushing through the halls. Bren saw this and screamed as he quickly got up against the wall as the students walked through the halls.

"Oh, that rush," Bren said in surprise.

Meanwhile Jordan and Zeus walked through the halls to their next class, which happened to be Jordan's least favorite.

"English/Literature? Man, I hate this class," she whined as she and Zeus walked the halls.

"Why?" he asked.

"Cause I'm terrible at spelling and grammar."

"It can't be that bad."

"You have no idea," she said before deciding to change the subject. "Anyhow, um, I've been meaning to ask you about that, um, ability you have to foresee attacks coming."

"Oh, that?" Zeus replied. "Well it only happens when I'm in battle. I usually get a 10-second vision of what attack my enemy is about unleash on me, which gives me short but ample time to figure how to counter it."

"Cool! That explains how you're such an incredible fighter."

"Yeah, but every power comes with a price. After each vision, I have a 10-second delay until my next vision. So I have to make my counterattacks count."

"I see. And what else can you tell me about the Runners."

"Well each group, which contains between four and six members, are chosen from a world connected one of the regions of Unitas, the world of Universal Legends. There are 7 regions in all, with the last two, the Black and White united into one. You and I are two of the Runners of the Black & White region."

"Who are the others?"

"Haven't been chosen yet. But we'll know when their powers awaken. And in addition to fighting the Tundra, the Runners there are others who carry out jobs within Unitas and the other worlds too, such as espionage, delivery through worlds, trainers, mechanics, and other stuff."

"And how long have you been a Runner?"

"A couple of months now. And as you guessed, each Runner has the power one of the 6 main elements, plus some sub-elements such as Ice, Shadow, and Metal."

"And you control Light and I have Water and Ice, correct?"

"Yep. And looks like we're here, Room 222," he said as they came to a classroom filled with kids. Jordan and Zeus saw two desks at the front of the class and sat down.

"So when did you first get into ULO anyway, Zeus?" Jordan asked.

"Well, that's a very interesting story," Zeus replied. As he started to tell it, a small group of high school girls entered the room, They walked up to the seats where Jordan and Zeus were sitting at and the leader frowned.

"Well, Sierra," the leader who blonde hair, brown eyes, and wears a yellow blazer, camisole, and skirt with her white boots said to one of her friends, "Looks like somebody is sitting in our chairs."

"Oh I love that story," the girl with black hair, grey eyes, and wears a similar outfit as Lena's, only it has a belt and they're colored red, now known as Sierra said with a ditzy voice. "Can't wait for the part where they eat the porridge."

"Hi, I'm Jordan," Jordan kindly introduced herself.

"And I'm Zeus," Zeus introduced himself.

"Well, let's see if this great West Asian river and King of Olympus can withstand Queen Lena," the girl now known as Lena said as she suddenly pushed Jordan out of her desk. She then looked towards Zeus about to do the same with him, but he calmly got up and gathered his things while glaring at her. At the same time, a male teacher walked into the room.

"Good morning class," he said. As he looked at the class he saw Jordan on the floor and Zeus standing next to her.

"Lena and Sierra's chairs?" he asked.

"Yep," they both said.

"Rookie mistake" he said as Zeus helped Jordan up and Lena, Sierra and the other girls took their seats.

As they transfer seats, the teacher said to Zeus, "So, you must be the poet prodigy that Roenick was raving about. She was really impressed by some poems you brought when you first came here to transfer."

"Why, thank you," Zeus said with gratitude.

"Well then, why don't you come up and recite one of them?"

Seeing that he wants to hear one so bad, Zeus decided to do it as he walks in front of his classmates and pulls out a paper from his backpack.

Up, down, left, and right.

Whether it be the Light of the day

Or the Darkness of the night.

Fire of the volcanos,

Water of the seas,

Earth of our planet,

And Wind's worldwide breeze,

Elements are around you

Everywhere you look

You could even find them in

The simplest of books

Amazed by his poem, everyone in class (except Lena) makes an applause as they are moved by his poem, while some are confused about it, but was amazed as well.

"That was incredible!" the teacher said in awe before announcing something."Anyhow, just though I'd like to announce that the drama club will be helping me put on Rags."

"Why would they help you, put on dirty, tattered clothing?" Jordan asked.

"No, no, I meant the musical Rags. You can sign up for cast, crew, or band here," he said as he pointed to a sign-up sheet right there at the front of the room. Most of the class got up and started signing up.

"Well, in case anyone wants to know, I'm trying out for cast since I have lead actor experience. I had the lead role in a play back in Manila once. I had 'em rolling in the aisles"

"Yeah and possibly rolling towards the door," Lena told Bren, who got out of line upset at her tease.

"Well this shouldn't be a problem for me, since I've starred in every musical this school has put on," Lena said as she show them some pictures of her lead roles, such as Hairspray as Penny, DreamGirls as Deena, and The Lion King as Nala. Jordan giggled at the Nala picture.

"Wow, so you had whiskers," Jordan quipped.

"They were fake," Lena said.

"I didn't mean the picture, Lena."

As Lena covered her upper lip and walked away in embarrassment, Kani approached Jordan in fear as the latter snickered and says, "What are you doing?! Do not anger the big kids! They'll kill us, chop us up into pieces and the sell our meat to the cannibals of the world!"

However, she's not afraid at what Kani said as Jordan says, "Just relax. We're in class, nobody is going to hurt us in here."

But she spoke too soon as they heard Andre's voice, "Hey! Get me out of here!"

They turned around to see Andre is stuck inside a big tuba, presumably that a student forced him in there, as the teacher tries to get him out.

"Okay Andre just relax your cheeks," the teacher said. Andre suddenly let out a fart.

"Not THOSE cheeks," the teacher said in disgust.

"Let me try something," Jordan said as she took the mouthpiece of the tube and blew into it, the air forcing Andre out.

"Thank you, Jordan" Andre said.

After class, Jordan and Zeus left the classroom when the former saw Zeus watching a news report on his RunCom.

"Hey, Z. What you watching?" Jordan asked in curiosity.

"A news report from Southdale," Zeus replied. "I forgot to mention that the RunCom's TV app can access to other worlds' TV channels. Apparently, according to the news, they found another criminal who became traumatize and shocked after he told the reporters about a stranger in black."

"Wait, another criminal? You mean it happened to others before him?"

"Yeah, they also reported about the same stranger in black. And the strange thing is they said it's actually a kid wielding some kind of big blade or something. I can't tell because they didn't tell the reporters the whole thing."

"Because they are too traumatized to tell anything? Yeah, I know. It happens to me one time when I was 7, my uncle Blaine (her paternal uncle) visited for Halloween. He dressed up as Freddy Kruger and hovered over me just as I woke up," Jordan said as she shivers at that memory. "Anyways, that news report reminds me of an avatar in ULO."

"Really? Who?" Zeus asked in curiosity.

"First off, have you heard of a Player Killer?"

"An avatar that hunts and kills other avatars? Yeah, I heard of them a little."

"Well, this avatar doesn't hunt random players, but bad avatars."

"Bad avatars?" Zeus repeated in confusion.

Then the scene cuts to the Black and White city in ULO when a shadowed figure wielding some kind of weapon appears as Jordan narrates.

"Yeah, rumors say that he's a vigilante because not only he hunts and kills players who harass, scam, or bullied other avatars, but also hackers, bot users, and cheaters."

Then the scene shifts to the same figure defeating a few bad-looking avatars with his scythe.

"Despite its avatar is an 11-year old boy in black, bad avatars fear him because of his big black scythe that he always carries around with him. Not only that, he has an exclusive title like us."

"A player like that has an exclusive title?!" Zeus asked in shock off-screen.

"Yeah, some called him an assassin or a PKKer. But all of them called him by his title..."

"The Dark Reaper."

The scene cuts back to the two as Zeus was shocked at Jordan's story about the mysterious avatar.

"Um, you're serious about that story, right?" Zeus sheepishly asked in fear.

"What story?" Kani asked as she approaches them in confusion.

Noticing that she somehow heard her story, Jordan replies, "Oh, I'm just telling Zeus about a mysterious player in Universal Legends Online."

"You mean that game you two are playing in the lounge?"

"Yeah. And I know it's hard to believe, Z. But some players saw the revived bad avatars in BW Union cities traumatized and shook up after their encounter with the Dark Reaper."

"Well, I don't believe in urban legends. But I did saw some avatar muttering, "Dark…big scythe…reaper" when I logged in or revived in Albus," Zeus mentioned.

"Well, real or not, I want to meet the Dark Reaper in person. I do admit, he's kinda mysterious and he might be cute," Jordan said in love struck as she daydreams about her meeting the Dark Reaper while Kani and Zeus stares at her in disbelief.

"Okay, you better think about your dream PKer later. Cause right now, we better find the cafeteria," Zeus said as he drags Jordan to their destination until Kani stops them.

"What?! No, no, no, no! We are in the safety of the Mid-School Zone," Kani said in fear as she tries to drag the two back to the lounge, only to be stopped by Jordan.

"Why? I left my lunch in my locker," Jordan said.

"Alex left his lunch in his locker," Kani said.

"Who's Alex?" Zeus asked in confusion.

"Exactly!"

Seeing her paranoia about the cafeteria, Jordan says in determination, "Look, there is a cupcake in that lunch. I'm going for it."

"Me too. If we want to eat lunch at the lounge, we need to get them at our lockers," Zeus said with the same tone.

"Fine but hurry before the bell…" Kani said, but the bell rung before she could finish. "Oh-no, the rush! We're gonna die!"

As student began to flood the halls, Jordan quickly pulled Zeus and Kani over to an open locker and the three climbed inside just in time. In the locker, Zeus said to Kani, "See? Being the smaller kids does have advantages."

"I guess so," Kani said as she picked something up and started eating it. "And this cupcake was totally worth it."

"Uh, Kani?" Jordan said with worry. "This isn't my locker and that's no cupcake."

Kani then took a closer look at what she was eating and began to feel nauseous. "That would explain the tail." She then took a napkin out of her pocket and spit what she'd been chewing into it.

Outside the locker, Lena and Sierra walked by. Lena was still upset about Jordan's tease.

"Who does that Waters girl think she is the little wisecrack?!" she snapped. "And that boyfriend of her's, Starr! Some Greek god namesake he is."

"That poem of his was very nature-ly though right?" Sierra asked. Lena didn't answer. "So your folks still on their cruise?"

"Yep, big party, my place, tonight. It'll be cra-zay."

"Text me the deets."

"Will do. Tats."

"Later."

The two girls went their separate ways as the three emerged from the locker, with Jordan having a devilish-look on her face.

"Uh, Jordan why are you so happy?" Zeus asked.

"Because Z, I think just figured out how to make us middle schoolers stand out around here," Jordan said slyly.

A/N: Uh oh, evil grin means idea for Jordan! How will this turn out for the middle schoolers? Find out in the next chapter!
