" Alright then, take this!" He took out a Limited Edition Skill scroll he had won in a contest. " It's time to use this!" He instantly learned the Decade Slash. When he read the meaning, it had something to do with the year being 2019 and 2009 being something. Either way he used the skill and his twin blades glowed with a purple flame. " Alright! Decade Slash!" He slashed it with all his might and wore down it's HP.

Damage Done: 3,600- 1,050

2,450 HP Remaining.

((*sigh* Fine I'll let it slide for this time only, Kyo. . .Next time try to be a little less massive on the damage scale. Please. ))

Indigo hacked the tentacle that had slammed Keith into the floor earlier. Once it was on the ground and vanishing, she looked up at it and realized most of the tentacles were already gone.

"This is good. . ." She said slowly. "The less of those things, the more we can focus on it's core."

In the middle of the blackmass, convered inside the virus, a purple sphere floated with a faint light. It was the core, but was heavily protected.

"Guys, if we can attack the core. . .all the attacks we do will sting twice as hard!" She shouted and ran towards the black-mass. She performed a combo of slashes. However there was still alot more damage to be done before she could reach it's core.

"I'm not giving in!"

Damage Done: 100+100+100=300
BOSS HP: 2450-300 = 2050

" Got it." He performed a series of slashes until he decided go and use a Status Spell. " Alright, Rak Faize!" Rak Faize was a new Status spell introduced in a new update. It increased the whole party's attack power. " Alright now let's do this, Decade Slash!"

Damage: 150 + 345=495

2,050 - 495= 1555 HP left.

((Sorry I took too long replying back. I've been without internet for a while now, and will probably have to use public computers until I get it up and running again. So, NO, this did not mean I was letting it die. So relax. =) Instead, lets continue. Only a little more left. ))

Immediately after Keith's attack the black-mass released a pulse of power around the surrounding area; this wave knocked off everyone who was close, including Indigo. She quickly stood back up and recovered from her critical state when she used a potion. She then looked at the black-mass and noticed something very different. The black bubbles that had been surrounding it all this time where suddenly decreasing at an alarming rate. More amazing was that the core was now fully visible; and was apparently not protected enough. To this Indigo raised her duel blades in satisfaction and a wide smile raced across her face.

"It looks like we've finally weakened it." She said in truimph. "But the battle is not over just yet. We must attack its core and destroy it for good!"

She raced across the blue-tiled floor and reached close enough to strike the glowing core of the monster. Clasko, who had been overwhelmed by the damaged done, had followed Indigo and stopped right behind her where he got ready to attack with his giant sword. Indigo turned in surprised and was happy to see him by her side. However, she looked behind him and saw the others ready to attack aswell.

"Lets perform a team-strike!" She shouted. "I think we can destroy it now."

And as everyone began to prepare themselves for the attack, the black-mass tried retreating from the area. It engenered a few more tentacles for protection, but Clasko's giant sword and Indigo's quick strikes took them down quickly. Before she knew it, everyone was already running towards the target with weapon at the ready, and prepared for destroy the black-mass for good. Clasko quickly got into battle position once more and dashed straight over the core.
"Everyone. . .ATTACK!" He commanded.

Indigo approached the core immediately and released a combo of four strikes, while the others reached at the same time and attack as well.
It seemed like a festival of sparks as the attacks occured in unision, some using magic while others performed skills. The core finally began to crack under the pressure until it finally shattered and released another large wave of energy all around the area. Everyone was sent flying a distance until they hit the floor.

"Did we. . .do it?" Indigo asked herself as she struggled to get up again.

Suddenly, a tremor. The entire area began to quake fiercely around them, and Indigo could not summon the strength to get back up.
Clasko, who was opening his eyes, noticed the loud sound of shaking and woke up. He could spot Indigo laying on the floor in the distance, but he could not stand as well.

"This is. . .not. . .good." He said. "This place. . .can collapse any. . . .minute now."

Meanwhile, inside the red tunnel of data Sauna fell to the floor in critical condition. His spell book hit the floor besides him, and he watched it become corrupted by the virus; the pages turning a reddish color and the book flickering like a light about to go out. He managed to stand then, and noticed some spots on his avatar that were also infected with the virus.

"Damnit...I don't think I can continue fighting it." He said.

The humanoid figure stood motionless on the other side of the tunnel, with its right arm extended to Sauna.

"Indigo,. . ." Sauna whispered. "I don't think I can. . . beat this thing."

Suddenly, the shadow of girl appeared on the other side of the red tunnel. It was Eleone, the player Tundra has been struggling to find.

"You must not give up!" She shouted.

Suddenly, the humanoid creature turned it's attention to the girl behind him. It lowered it's arm, and then extened his other the same way.
Sauna's eyes opened wide in fear.

"N-no! You! Please get away from here!" Sauna shouted.

The girl stood her ground, but was suddenly overwhelmed by fear.
