RPG .Hack//Deletion >Play<

[Geist]

[COLOR=blue]
[SIZE=1][I]It's nothing but a harmless, addictive, little game. At least that's what everyone had thought before the viruses, comas, and deaths began to occur more frequently. I am Wilhelm Mueller, Will to my friends. I am one of the countless people that have been taken hold of by this alternate world. Not that I'm bitter, in fact, I prefer this world over the real one. In here there is no death that can't be resolved with a reset, you don't need to eat so there is no hunger, money is made by fighting and since everyone is a warrior, there is no poverty, and any wars in this world are controlled. If this place ever displeases me, I can easily change it to my liking. You see, unlike most people who live here, I am a hacker. There used to be very few like me, but now, secrets have been shared and almost everyone knows how to create a virus or tweak code. At first this was fun, but now it has gotten out of hand. Admins are deleting everyone in sight and most players are leaving the game. But I have decided to stay. My cousin needs help and I'm not leaving until I find some answers.[/SIZE]

Will logged off from the game and removed his headset. Downstairs, his mom was calling him.[/I]
"Will, telephone! It's your cousin's friend, Cara! She says it's very important!" [I]She said, in a thick German accent.
Will rushed down the stairs and grabbed the phone from his mom. He had heard about Cara from his cousin, John, but he had never talked to her before. What could be so important?[/I]
"Hallo?"
"Wilhelm? Something...something awful happened. It's..."
[I]Cara paused and Will waited for her to finish. Her voice was a little shaky and she sounded like she had just been crying.[/I]
"It's Johann. He's at the hospital in a coma."
[I]Will had a hard time believing what he had heard.[/I]
"H-how did it happen?" [I]He asked.[/I]
"I don't know. I was playing with him in the World. I had left him and gone to a shop, but when I came back, he was gone. I logged off and called his house, and his mom told me that she was bringing him to the hospital. I don't know what to..."
[I]Will didn't wait for her to finish. He slammed the phone down onto the receiver. First his dad, and now this. He ran back upstairs and logged onto the World. Maybe he could find out what happened, and at the same time, get away from the troubles of the real world...[/I]

[Xaru Silverfire]

A car drove up to a slighlty large house. A man around the age of 20 stepped out of the car and walked up to the it. He opend the door and saw his roomate, Sean, on the couch.

"Hey, man."

Sean: "Sup, Jake. I have to leave at 6:00, I'm goin' to my parent's."

"Alright."

Jake walked into his room and threw his keys on his bed. He then lifted the headset next to his computer. Sitting down, he put the headset over his head.

Xaru appears in a small city. He starts to walk away into an open field. There, he sat dwon on the grass, thinking of what to do.

Lena came back from track. She took off her shoes and sat at the computer. Lena logged in, she was still in the last place she had saved it in. In side right before a battle.

"Man time to get it over with..." she muttered.

She went in pass the statues to the monster again, she had fought with this same one before. But now she knew what she had done wrong. Attack from behind while the monsters not looking. She came in and there appered the monster, but it was different this time. It was a big blue orge, it didn't move though.

She moved back from it and came running up to it. Her blade went right through it and it fell. It turned purple then vanished.

She screamed, and started to the exit. There was no end, "Darn hackers"

Once out side she saved and logged out. She took her head set and threw it at the wall. And stared at it.

[Revelation]

[size=1][I]Kaira sat in her apartment watching meaningless news. She turned off the T.V. and looked over to the phone. She crawled over to it from her while still sitting on her couch. She pressed the answering machine button. She had 10 messages, 2 from a big client, 1 from a close friend, 2 from someone who's threatening to kill her, and 4 from her latest admirer, and 1 from an unknown. She listened to all of them and deleted the ones she didn't want. She got up from the couch and walked over to the kitchen. She opened the fridge door and took out a bottle of water. She took it with her to her bedroom. Plopping down in front of the computer, she took her headsets and put them on. She clicked onto a program that she created on her spare time. She started entering encrypted codes, HTML, and enscriptions. After she was done, she pressed ENTER and she was inside "The World". Kaira sighed and saw that she was finished fighting. Her character, Arika, is a wave-twin blader. A hack that Kaira created. Arika walked over to the beach and stood by the ocean. Smelling the sweet serene air. Forming in her hands were droplets of water that grew as she opened her hand. She closed it and the water evaporated. Arika sighed. Thinking to herself.[/I][/size]

[size=1][color=indigo]'Gods. What am I doing here? I got tired of killing and now...I'm in..."The World". Hacking is easy as is killing, but now...I need something more.'[/color] Arika sighed again.[/size]

[size=1][I]She walked west of where she stood and then stopped abruptly. She heard footsteps behind, above, and around her. She started to walk faster, the footsteps grew louder. She jumped onto some rocks and onto the path above. An admin was waiting for her. Kaira, on the outside sat slouching, but stood upright and alert. She typed in some hacks. Her hacks were of infinite speed, strength, power, magic, HP, MP, cloak of invisibility, ability to not get hurt, and she also powered up her twin broad swords and staff. Arika stood in an attack ready position. The admin spoke.[/I][/size]

[size=1]"Give yourself up now and we will go easy on you. You can become one of us. We will allow you to stay and help us catch other hackers, like yourself."[/size]

[size=1][i]Arika stood there in sarcastic, thinking mode. She looked at the admin and with her staff, non-orb end, wrote the words "This world doesn't need people like you." The words appeared in bright red. Arika just smiled. The admin pointed to Arika and his minions came upon her. She looked around and suddenly on the outside something was happening. Kaira couldn't input anymore hacks. A glitch was being made in the process. Arika looked around, she heard grunts. She looked and saw that a horned Grunty was charging at the admin and his minions. They all vanished before the Grunty touched them. Kaira logged out and sighed. She took her headset off and got out of the chair and plopped onto her bed.[/size]

[AzureWolf]

[I]Arika, clever name for the admin, switching the words in Arika around... ;)[/I]

AzureWolf arrived at an open field, taking a few steps to look around. Finally, he said, "Oh yeah, being fashionably late is [I]REAL[/I] original..." After a few minutes, the promised rival appeared. Clearly a character hack, the black caped fellow drew his sword. "So, you wish to challenge the great Alucard?" "Oh, with a name that original, who wouldn't?" replied Azure, unsheathing his sword and taking a fighting stance, "Haha, let's do this thing!"

The vampire-like character quickly dashed toward Azure, and Azure took defensive measures to see what he was up against. He was not so much worried about his opponent's stats: Azure needed to figure out which hacks he would be dealing with in this fight. The swords clashed at each meeting as Alucard moved violently around the battlefield. Azure did not notice any hacks being used, and Alucard was growing impatient. "Playing defensively is a n00b tactic, and very boring. Are you just going to hide behind your sword?"

"Haha, just testing the waters, as any good fighter knows to do." Azure became mobile and the clashes became more powerful and violent. Azure attempted to throw off Alucard with magic, using simple tricks to try and get any opening. But Alucard responded quickly, and their magic attacks fizzled each other out. "Do not attempt to use magic with me, I'm no simple vampire hack. ^_^" "Oh, yeah, you are a real original! You think your weak attacks are going to hurt me? I know the limits of the vampire hack!" Azure hoped to taunt his opponent into using magic, since he was sure that sword users could only use weak magics, and no character could use his sword while casting spells. So, he just needed to close in and dodge Alucard's magic.

Or so he thought... Giant Ice rained down on Azure, throwing him off and taking a critical amount of HP. "What th- oof!" "Please, I [I]AM[/I] an original. THE Original, to be exact. I created the Vampire hack, so of course I made improvements that I didn't share. :grin:" Azure smiled, "Haha, I've got lots of healing potions stored, so you better kill me fast before I use them!" Azure was ready this time, and he wanted to get a chance to try his "special" attack, but he needed to be closer.

Azure saw Alucard starting the spell, and he sped at the vampire player as fast as possible. "Here it comes!" Azure thought, and the rain of ice fell once again. Azure dodged the ice, not slowing down and taking minimal damage. Now, he was right at Alucard, point blank, and Alucard's shocked face was all that Azure needed to be sure that he had the match won. "Five Star Sword!" Azure used his technique, which costed Azure all of his MP and reducing his HP to 1. It was well worth the cost, though, as going through Alucard five times, creating a star shape was an instant death ATK. As Alucard lost his color, Azure turned and said, "Ha! You aren't the only one with a hack! This was a gift from a much smarter hacker than you!"

However, what Azure didn't realize was that Alucard's discoloring was only for a brief moment. Azure stared in surprise as Alucard regained his color and composure. "Another hack?!" "I'm sorry, but a vampire only has a few weaknesses, and you certainly did not stab me through the heart, so my [B]Second Life[/B] hack took effect. Looks like your friend isn't as good a hacker as you thought. It's game over for you, which means I win your rare grunty." There wasn't much Azure could do to defend or fight back with just 1 HP left, and Alucard quickly dealt with Azure. The Wolf was defeated...

Zearu took off the goggles. "Man, that grunty was impossible to find, and then I raised it to perfection! I've won so many races with it, and now I lose it because Felix's hack didn't disable the target's hacks! Oh, he's going to get it when I see him next time!" Zearu started laughing, "I'm getting better though!" He looked at the time and realized he should grab a quick bite. It was Saturday, so playing [I]The World[/I] all day was certainly possible. Zearu decided he would log back on after eating. "Ah, today's feels like it's going to be one of those days..."

[Revelation]

uhm, AzureWolf...Arika is my .hack character. I haven't found a name for the admin that keeps following me....OMG! I got it! Necral....i was thinking arcenal so! switch the letters yoO get Necral.

[Epsilon]

Lena picked back up her head set, and checked it to see if it was ok still to use. Once it was go and she had found it ok to use she put back on her head and logged in to "The world."

She logged into a green field, with a blue sky. She sat down and stared up wards.

"Darn hackers" she muttered to her self."I'll play in the world all day to get my iteams back."

Vegey sighed, and started to hear foot stepps through the grass. She turned and saw two other players. One was a wave master in gray, the other was a twin blade in purple.

"Hey, your Vegey right?" asked the twin blade.

She rolled her eyes and started to stare up at the sky again ignoring them.

"Your pretty strong for some one who just started to play two days ago." the wave master paused, "Say do you wanna go with us to a doungon?"

She sat up and looked at them, "Get lost alredy!"

"Whoa..." exclamed the twin blade, "look who gots some iuess in 'The World'"

"Yeah," said the wave master we better leave her alone,"we better leave her alone."

They started to leave, muttering about her being rude to them. She shook her head and stood up.

"I'll find gather some players to go on adventure with." she smiled, "It might be fun that way."

Vegey started to walk away to a town to find some other players.

[KKC]

Tonkz warped to the Chaos Gate Mac Anu. "That dungeon just felt to easy..." She said to herself recalling the fight at the dungeon she had just had. "Oh well, Hackers must have been there."
She started walking threw Mac Anu looking for anything enteresting to do. She went on the Bridge and looked at the water just thinking. The water suddenly turned a bright pink. She heard laughing to far from her and saw another character pinting and laughing at the water. Tonkz rolled her eyes at the hacker. She knew a few hack, but never really used them. It took away the fun in "the world".

[AzureWolf]

From Tonkz's view, it was just another hacker. As Tonkz watched the hacker enjoying his illegal act, Azure walked up behind the hacker and smacked him on the back of the head with his fist. The hacker turned, holding his head, and the two characters started arguing, creating a humorous scene to any passerby. Unfortunately, Tonkz was too far away to hear what the two were fighting about.

"Felix, that was the lamest hack I've ever seen!" Azure scowled.
"Hey, pink will make my girlfriend happy! :D" Felix replied.
Azure hit him again. "That's not what I'm talking about. That hacked attack you gave me doesn't disable the opponent's hacks, so it's just a suicide move! You know everyone hacks their character, so it's impossible to beat them unless you lock their hacks. :mad:"
Felix looked up with a confused look. "Huh? :blackeye: But that hack [I]does[/I] lock the opponent's hacks. That is, if you actually hit them with it."
"What?" Azure was puzzled. "Then how did that guy..."
Felix patted Azure on the back, "Face it buddy, you just suck when it comes to fighting. If you couldn't tell that you missed the guy, I think you just need to take a break, trying to fight all these 'legendary' players. Say, are you up for a grunty race in Dun Loreiag?"

Azure decided to worry about his opponent's strange survival later. A grunty race was just something Azure could never refuse. "Haha, good idea! I've been waiting for a chance to try out this one grunty!" As Felix started leaving, Azure took a brief look around and eyed Tonkz. "Hmm... This character's pretty powerful, isn't she?" Azure noted. "Maybe her skill lies more than just in fighting..." Azure decided to invite her to race with them. Azure waved and shouted, "Hey, care for a grunty race in Dun Loreiag?! No one can beat me! :smirk:"

[KKC]

Tonkz turned around to see who was calling. It was the young hackers friend it seemed. How could She resist a grunty race, maybe she would win something out of this. She walked over to the two.
"Hey, the names Tonkz. Get ready to be smoked." She smiled as she greeted the two, looks like she had found something fun to do.

OOC: I dont know much about the grunty races, so i'll let you do that part Azure ^^'

[Revelation]

[size=1][i]Kaira woke up to the sound of beeping from her computer. She got up drowsily, rubbing her eyes, to the computer. She sat down and moved her mouse to see what that beeping was. Kaira just got mail. She clicked on the mail button and clicked on New Mail. It was a message from someone from "The World". She started reading the message. It said,

"Admins are watching you, aren't they? Yeah, I know how that must feel. If the admins are following you, then you've gotta be a hacker, am I right? I am usually right. When you log on to "The World" type in : Black Sheep. This code will let you find anyone or anything. I'll see you in "The World"."

Kaira exited out of her mail and logged onto "The World". As soon as she was in. She typed in Black Sheep. Her character, Arika, was transported to Dun Loreaig. A Grunty Race was going on. She looked around.

[color=indigo]"Maybe, I should team up with people and go on an adventure. Or do summin'. Well, better look for that person who sent me the message."[/size][/color]

OOC: Anyone that's a hacker can bump into me.

[Sakura]

OOC:I'll be the Hacker.

Sakura finished typing the message and sent it.It had said:
"Admins are watching you, aren't they? Yeah, I know how that must feel. If the admins are following you, then you've gotta be a hacker, am I right? I am usually right. When you log on to "The World" type in : Black Sheep. This code will let you find anyone or anything. I'll see you in "The World".

Sakura smirked and logged into "the World".

Ki appeared in Dun Loreig.She typed in Black Sheep and began to look for the one that she had sent a message to.She saw a girl that was very odd.She had a staff and a sword like herself.Ki walked up next to her and tapped her on the shoulder.

[color=navy]"Black Sheep?"[/color]
The girl nodded.Ki indicated with a tilt of the head to go away from the crowded area.

They walked over and Ki looked at her carefully.
[color=navy]"What's your name?"[/color]
[color=purple]"Akira.What's yours?"[/color]
[color=navy]"Ki.So you're a hacker?"[/color]
She nodded.
[color=navy]"Admins are after me too.I'm a hacker.We have to leave this area and go to another place.I say we team up then we'll have more of a chance against the admins.What do you say?"[/color]

[Revelation]

[size=1][I]Arika eyed Ki uneasily, but thought for a moment. She did want to team up with someone. She nodded and they both started talking.[/i][/size]

[size=1][color=indigo]"What class are you? I'm a Wave-Twin Blade. My staff is made of obsidian, but these orbs were part of the hack, so I'm not sure what they do."[/color][/size]
[size=1][COLOR=darkblue]"Me? I'm a Wave-Blade Arm. I have a quarterstaff made of polished oak. It has delicate designs and mystical words carved on it and on both ends are metal caps. My sword has the same designs and words, but it's made of silver. What about your swords?"[/COLOR][/size]
[size=1]Arike unsheathed her swords so she could show Ki.[/size][size=1][color=indigo]"Twin double edged broadswords. Made completely of silver and gold, half and half. My left sword has an obsidian dragon on the chrome handles and on the right, a crystal dragon. I wish I met a real dragon."[/color][/size]

[size=1][i]Arika and Ki kept talking for hours.[/size][/i]

[Epsilon]

After awhile of walking she just came to another field instead of a town or city. Vegey looked around the field and saw another heavey blade. He was stareing up at the sky, he looked like he might have been playing longer then she had. After all she had only been playing for two days now. But she was good compared to other first time players, she could stanhd her own. Vegey started to walk up behind him, but then she stopped.

At the distance she was at she yelled hello to him. But he did nothing. The other heavey blade didn't even turn to look around at her.

Kinda rude she thought, she then remebered how she acted like to the other players awhile ago.

"Heh...I guess I shouldn't judge others...." Vegey said.

She started to walk away.

"Maybe I shold go to the next town over" she said to her self as she started walking.

[originalimp]

??:a figure was above them

"follow me to help your friend"

[AzureWolf]

[B]OOC: Don't worry, K.K.C., after this post, everyone will know about grunties and can participate. :) Don't confuse this stuff with the stuff in the games, though. It's not the same. ;)[/B]

Azure, Tonkz, and Felix arrived in Dun Loreiag.

[B]OOC: That's the field that Bear and Mimiru are usually chatting at, where Mimiru waited for Tsukasa that one time.[/B]

Azure stretched. "Alright, let's get our grunties!" Azure shouted, clenching his fist. As they were heading to the farms, an ordinary Wavemaster approached them. "Uh, excuse me, but-"

Azure interjected, "Oh, a newbie. Boy, what an [I]original[/I] get-up. :rolleyes: What do you want, kid?"

The Wavemaster gave a brief look, then shook his head. "Uh, yeah... About the grunt-"

Azure again interrupted, "Oh, grunties! Haha, you wanna know how to raise 'em and race 'em, don't ya? Well, you've asked the right guy. Other players would probably PK (player kill) you for asking such a newbie-ish question. Not me, though, because I am the AzureWolf!" Azure pointed at himself with his thumb.

"But-"

"Hush! Pay attention kid, or else you aren't going to learn how to use grunties! Here's how it works:
Grunties can usually be found in towns, but the special and rare ones are hidden in dungeons or dungeon fields. When you find a grunty, you should bring it to a farm and start raising it.
Food can be found in several areas, but the best food is also hidden in dangerous places. You gotta search high and low for those rare grunty goods! My personal favorite is piney apple. :D Keep in mind that a balanced nutrition is required to make strong and agile grunties.
Because grunties are left in farms, grunties cannot move from town to town: whatever grunty you've raised in Dun Loreiag, you can only use in Dun Loreiag. Both newbies and grunty veterans use Dun Loreiag, so it's a very nice place to start and to learn more about grunties. However, racers sometimes prefer towns such as Carmina Gadelica for it's flat lands, because they can see just how fast their grunties are. On the other hand, there are some hackers who can bypass this rule and move their grunties from town to town simply by riding them through chaos gates (those circley blue things you enter from).
When you are raising a grunty, the outcomes are limitless. No one knows how many kinds of adult grunties are possible, but your grunty's adult form will be based on what you feed it and how you treat it. Also, the grunty you find might be special in some way, and have some special attribute that won't appear until you raise them into an adult. That's why every grunty should be treated individually. Raise your grunty with care, and then train them to win races!
If you want to see some great grunties, you can come with me. I've got an iron grunty: it's got armor all over itself to run over the competition! I also have a new flying grunty that I wanna try out! Haha, I can't believe there's such a thing as a flying grunty! It's gotta be rare! Then again, I really never go to any town besides Mac Anu and Dun Loreiag..."

The Wavemaster gave a stern look, and rolled his eyes when Azure finally finished, "Yeah, that's great, but-"

"What?! Still don't get it after that amazing explanation?! Oh, you are wondering who's the best racer in [I]The World[/I], huh? Well, technically, Balmung of the Azure Sky has the fastest time in all the towns, but, just between you and me, I'm [I]WAAAY[/I] be-OOF!"

The Wavemaster punched Azure in the stomach. "Hey, samurai Talks-A-Lot, I just was politely telling you that the grunty farms are closed in Dun Loreiag. Maintenance."

Azure looked up, letting go of his stomach. "Huh? Then what are those guys doing." Azure pointed to the grunty racers.

The Wavemaster took a quick glance behind, and then narrowed his eyes. ":therock: Those are hackers who are racing with their hacked grunties. Since it's unofficial, there's no prize. Heh, who's the newbie now?" The Wavemaster walked past Azure's party.

Azure scratched his head, ":bluesweat Heh, I guess we'll have to go to Carmina Gadelica for our race." Azure took one last look around, and noticed two well-hacked characters that were outside of the crowd, away from the rest of the players. Seemed like they were having an important discussion, but what struck Azure more was their strength. They seemed to be experienced and powerful players who knew their way around. "Hmm... we should gather more players for our race." Azure gestured towards the two characters.

Felix pushed Azure aside, "I'll take care of it! These are girls, so you know they'll say yes to me! :D"
Azure questioned, "Don't you have a girlfriend?"
Felix laughed, "I'm just inviting these two beautiful players to our race." Felix turn around and headed towards the two suspicious characters. "Ladies!!!"

Azure turned to Tonkz. "Yeah, we better head to Carmina Gadelica. This is going to be ugly. We'll see him after he's done getting killed."

[Sakura]

Ki looked when he heard a guy call out.
[color=navy]"Who are you?"[/color]Ki said looking at him.
"Oh I'm Felix!"
[color=purple]"Oh yeah?And what do you want?"[/color]
"I just wanted to invite the both of you to a Grunty Race at carmina Gadelica."
Ki and Akira looked at each other.
[color=navy]"What do you say Akira?Wanna take some time off hacking and getting chased around by admins?"[/color]
[color=purple]"Anything to get away from admins!We'll come!"[/color]
Felix cheered and walked with Ki and Akira and they caught up with the others.
"What class are the both of you?"asked Azure.
[color=purple]"Wave Twin Blade."[/color]
[color=navy]"Wave-Blade Arm.What about you?I can tell you're a hacker."[/color]

[Revelation]

OOC: It's Arika, not Akira, Ohkami....

[size=1][i]Arika just looked on. She knew that Felix was one of those guys that just sweet talk the ladies. She walked on leaving Ki with the guy. She walked up to Azure and Tonkz. They looked at each other and then at her. Azure was first to say something.[/i][/size]

[size=1]"Hey, I'm Azure. This is Tonkz. I'm a BladeMaster, he's a Long Arm. I see that Felix's way doesn't get to you. So what's your name?" [i]Arika's turned back to pure silver. Before they were a mix of pink and orange, which meant she was annoyed. Tonkz and Azure stared at her.[/i] [color=indigo]"Name's Arika. I am a hacker and my class is Wave Twin Blade. Oh, and my eyes change colors according to my moods. And...I'm just following along to get away from all the pressure of fighting and admins. I don't race though. I only watch."[/color][/size]

[size=1][i]Azure and Tonkz nodded and waited for Ki and Felix, who was still trying to be the "Ladies Man".[/i][/size]

[Sakura]

OOC:Sorry Arika.I was posting in Medabots when I was doing it and there you're Akira.

Ki finally escaped Felix and caught up to Azure and Tonkz.
[color=navy]"I'm Ki.I think you can already tell I'm a hacker too.You get chased by the admins too?"[/color]
Azure nodded."Yup.It can be annoying but that's what we get."
Ki walked next to Arika and continued to avoid the 'Ladies Man'.
They talked and Ki always smacked Felix with her staff if he got too close.Soon he learned and stayed away from Ki.

[KKC]

OOC: >_< Tonkz is of the female sex.... Just so you know Azure.

IC: "I get chased by admins every once and a while, but I dont use my hacks that much so... They leave me alone at times..." Tonkz told the others. They had arrived at Carmina Gadelica and were heading for the grunty farm.
"Dont you find it odd that every other person you meet is a hacker, Its so wierd how hacking isn't anything unusual anymore." Arika said to the other, they all nodded in agreement as htey came closer to the grunty farm.

[Revelation]

[size=1][i]Not wanting to go into the farm, Arika stayed outside as the others looked around. They tried to persaude her to go in, but she didn't go in. Arika looked at the sky as the clouds rolled by. She looked across to the horizon to see a trail of dust storms rolling on towards the farm. She squinted to see what was making the storms and saw that someone of something was coming their way. Arika looked around for someone to alert. She found Tonkz near the doorway. She went over and tapped her shoulder. Tonkz turned to look at her. Arika pointed to the dust storms. Tonkz was alert, she called for Azure and he as well looked at the dust storms. Soon everyone stared at the storms that were nearing the farm.[/size][i]

[Geist]

[COLOR=blue]
[I]San-lang walked along with two other hackers. He was covering his face from the sand storm caused by one of his new friends.[/I]
"Do you always have to use this hack?" [I]He asked.[/I]
[I]The Blade Master next to him smiled. Or at least San-lang thought he had smiled. It was hard to tell since his mouth was always hidden in the folds of a dusty tan, tattered cape.[/I]
"Yes, I do. That's why my name is the Sand Man. Besides, it makes for a pretty good entrance."
[I]Sand Man looked off at something in the distance.[/I]
"Now will you tell me what you know about my cousin, and the others that are in his condition? I didn't give you that item out of charity you know."
[I]Sand Man held up a hand to San-lang's face for silence. San-lang pushed it away.[/I]
"Not right now. There is a group up ahead that was Grunty Racing but it looks like that we have interrupted them. Their character models intruige me. I'm going to go talk with them. Besides, they might be able to help us." [I]Sand Man replied.[/I]
[I]San-lang followed Sand Man as he turned off the sand storm and headed towards the group ahead. As they came up to the farm, San-lang heard a familiar noise and turned around. He saw Core, unable to move and staring up at something. In half a second, he was gone.[/I]
"No, Core!"
[I]San-lang, Sand Man and the others looked up into the sky and spotted what Core was staring at. It was an admin.[/I]
"Greetings hackers. I am Leos. You have abused this system for far too long. Prepare for deletion."
[I]San-lang Refused to stand arund and let what happened to Core, happen to him also. He readied for attack. But then, more admins joined Leos. The hackers were greatly outnumbered.[/I]
[/COLOR]

[Revelation]

OOC: my staff is not 3', it is a 6' quarterstaff.

IC:[size=1][i]Arika, Azure, Tonkz, Ki, and Felix all turned to see admins around two others. Arika zoned in on the admins. The two were hackers. Arika teleported herself to the admins. She tapped one of them with her staff. The admin turned around and she smacked him right across the face. He fell down and rubbed his chin. The admins face her. Arika vanishes her staff and grabs her twin swords and gets into an attack ready position. One of the admins scan her aura. They gasped at her aura level. Leos spoke to her.[/size][/i]

[size=1]"I am Leos. Do you think you can defeat us hacker? You are but one, you have no back up. I will delete you."[/size]
[size=1][color=indigo]"I am not alone. There are others here who are here to help. You harm one hacker, you deal with the rest."[/size][/color]

"Angel Feather!" [I]San-lang yelled.
Transparent, white feather wings appeared on him and Sand Man. They flew up and helped Arika fight the admins. San-lang took a swing at one of them with his staff, but the admin grabbed onto it with both hands.[/I]
"It's no use resisting, hacker."
"You'll soon see how wrong that statement is." [I]San-lang replied.
A third arm reached out from his shirt and touched the admin's side. The admin broke into a million pieces.[/I]
"Be careful of that one! He's been modified!"
[I]Arika took a swing at Leos and he dodged it.[/I]
"He's not the only that's been modified!" [I]She yelled.
Four admins grabbed onto Sand Man. Another stood in front of them and prepared to delete the Blade Master. San-lang tried to fly over and help, but the admins held him down.[/I]
"Let go of him! Let go of Sand Man, now!"
[I]Arika put one of her blades up to Leos' throat.[/I]
"Tell your friends to let go of that Blade Master now." [I]She threatened.
Leos just laughed.[/I]

OOC: Haha, very nice. I thought this RPG was dead or something. I was wondering why no one was posting more. Anyway...

IC: Azure realized that Grunty Racing was out of the question when the new characters appeared. As Azure saw a character's deletion (Core's), he couldn't resist using the new "slow-motion" feature that was added into the latest version of "The World."

"Noooo!" Azure was raising his palm towards the direction of the action, in slow-motion. He stopped fooling around when he realized that it was no ordinary Player Kill: the character disappeared completely instead of becoming discolored and falling. Little did Azure know that this deletion was a "more permanent" kind of erasure.

Seeing Arika take unbelieveable action, and hearing Lios' warnings, Azure realized that this battle was out of his league. Still, he could not run away. He decided to try and aid his new friends in any way he can.

"Haha, the great samurai AzureWolf will not let others take all the glory of battle!" Azure dashed towards the battleground. He didn't worry about the repercussions from the admins, as they appeared to be worried more about Arika and the other profession hackers.

EDIT: OOC: Oh, haha, I was writing and didn't know you posted Geist.

IC: As he dashed towards the action, the mods and hackers fought and seemed to have finished in mere seconds with their speed. Surprised, Azure just stood there. Arika seemed to have created a stalemate.

As Lios laughed, Azure grasped his sword's handle, ready to aid his hacker fellows should he notice something amiss...
