"Got it." Kuiper said, smiling, who then ran off in the direction of the Choas gate. He waited for the others, before inputting Radiant Dusk's Starlit Sky. They suddenly transported to a dense forest, with a night-sky above them. There were many fireflies, and even a few trees seemed to glow, which they were. They had a special Starfruit on them that gave off light. "What do you think? This is my own personal training spot. It's level 25, about ten above my own, so I don't come here alone, usually. Give me a moment." He said, before his character stood still for a moment.

----Real-Life----

Haru had gone off to make himself a snack, which ended up being a few sandwhiches. He didn't take long, and cam eback to his computer.

----The-World----

"Okay, back." he said, smiling, looking at the current team.

Kyo: * dammit what the hell did you want me to do with that email first you give me this thing then you tell me to take down CCcorp why damn I'm some confused and now damned Ccorp is after me* *sigh* allright lets get going!

Tundra stood silent as he observed the field, it really was quite enchanting, he could see why Kuiper was so fond of it, but the field was not enough to clear his mind. All that he could think about was Indigos brother, and if Sauna knew anything about Elleone. It wasn't to daft of a thought after all, they were both Lost Ones, but then again it was to soon to get his hopes up. With that thought he continued to survey the area, waiting for the next move.

Indigo was stunned for a moment as she observed her new surroundings. It was quite breath-taking. There was simply nothing like watching a star-filled sky in the middle of the night; especially with fireflies buzzing around the area. Only a game like [The World] could render such a scenery.

But just as the realism came in, so did the feelings for her brother Sauna. The tension in her body had grown since their last encounter inside the Outer Dungeon. She remembered feeling the same before a piano recital. Her body would start to shake uncontrollably and she would worry about messing up in front of the audience. However, this situation was alot different. There was no audience involved and she wasn't "playing" anything for anyone. But what she felt was the same. Her hands trembled nonstop. She turned away when Tundra noticed. It seemed he felt just as worried about Sauna as everyone else.

"I...I just can't stand it. You know." She said. "I hate waiting for something to happen. It's so frustrating."

Tundra nodded in agreement. This calmed her a little. Then, in the distance she noticed the first signs of movement. There were some creatures in the distance.
"We should go and battle them. The faster we can level up the better."

Tundra noticed that Indigo didn't look all that confident, then again neither was he, and for the same reason. He had to contemplate whether or not he should say anything, after all if he wasn't confident how was he going to make her feel better. In the end his conscience won out and he looked to Indigo and said "Hey listen, i know how you feel, you see i lost someone in this game too, her name is Elleone, shes my wife." as expected this seemed to play out a seen of shock on Indigos face but he continued, "she went into a coma as well, while she was playing the world, i had all but lost hope but then i began to hear rumors that...well you probably know what i heard...anyway thats when i started playing the world like an addiction i had to try something and believing in rumors sadly enough were all i could do, thats why i was in that dungeon when i met you, i was looking for some clue that could lead me to my wife...your brothers going to be fine, because hes most likely with my wife, and because of that i swear on my life that we're gona save him, because im not going to stop until my wife is saved, so cheer up." feeling he had said enough he continued on leaving the group behind.

Kuiper sighed, smiled, and then scanned the area for something. "Hey! Wait!" He said to Tundra. "I think I know where the dungeon is!" He smiled when he said this, but his eyes showed sadness. Amzing what [THE WORLD] could render. He turned to a woodland path for a moment. "If only I could be that optimistic about my friends..." He said quietly, sighing, before slowly walking in the direction of the path. "I think it's this way..."

Indigo was rendered speechless after Tundra revealed to her his purpose in the game. Just like her, he had been searching for someone too. The only difference was he still hadn't found any real clue as to where she was. Nor was their any evidence that Sauna was actually with this "Elleone". But Indigo didn't want to be negative, especially at this point in the game. And one thing was certain, that had definetly made her feel alot better and stronger too. She began to feel stupid for letting the situation, and emotions, get the best of her.

"Tundra." She said. "I had no idea...what you have gone through. But, you are absolutely right. We will not stop. We'll save your wife too." She then smiled and turned away, having heard the yelling of Kuiper. It seemed as though he had found the dungeon to the field. With a new rush of determination spreading within Indigo she was ready for anything. She looked over to Tundra again and smiled one last time.

"We'll save their lives. One way or another."

She than ran towards Kuiper who would lead them to their destination.

Tundra was dumbfounded that he actually managed to cheer Indigo up, he hadn't realized until now that Indigos personality is what most likely...in one way or another...had drawn him into this group. Maybe that was also what brought the rest of this group together in the first place...after all he had gone it alone so long, never really talking to anyone in The World, and yet here he stood, actually working with a team. She was either, without knowing it herself...a very good leader, or he had just really gotten that desperate...but some how, he believed it was the former. Too bad he had to keep the fact that he had known Sauna when he played the game for fun to himself...but hey, at least he knew now that he could actually talk about his wife to someone. He looked over at Kuiper who was running off to the dungeon entrance with Indigo and he had to whisper under his breath "baby steps Tundra, not everything needs to be known just yet, but man, his sister really takes after him." before running after them.

(sorry spades for the lack of participation.. but ermmm i think i'll try my best.. sorry once again.. ><'')
"wow looks like everyone is getting along" keith thought to himself... and then ran after the group

((No problem Hollow44. You had already informed me of your expected absense so I'm not angry or anything. Hope you get the internet again, though. And Hope you had a wonderful Christmas, too. ^^ ))

Indigo followed behind Kuiper, looking up at the dungeon's entrance as they neared it. The breeze would lift her hairy to the side, almost blocking her eyes, but she kept on going until they finally came to a stop. Kuiper seemed to be observing the area.
"I guess the rest of the monsters lie inside the dungeon, huh." She said. "We better not make them wait too long." She laughed a little afterwards.

(( This might be due because of the coming of the new year buuuuut......is anybody going to post anytime soon? o.0 ))

(umm sorry spades.. i don't know what to post.. so i'm waiting too... ><'''' ehh anyway happy new year everyone!) ><'''

((Alright...I'm not about ready to let this freeze again. I'm going to take control of what happens from here on out. If anyone has a problem with that please PM me and we shall adress it. If not, then let us continue where we left off. ))

Indigo, Kuiper, and Tundra were among the first of the team to enter the dungeon. Kyo and Keith followed shortly afterwards.
As they entered Indigo quickly noticed the large cloths that hanged from the walls on either side; they were red and decorated with mysterious gold symbols. And they seemed to extend all the way towards the next exit, which according to the map, was just straight ahead. Indigo turned around and looked at everyone, she then turned again and began running towards the exit.
At the moment she hoped that monsters would appear soon. She needed all the experience points she could get before Sauna's next message.
After they reached the next area they spotted four purple-armored goblins dancing around a small platform with a yellow chest on top. However their festive behavior was interupted as soon as they spotted the new comers, Indigo and her team. The goblins drew their clubs from their backs and quickly ran towards them.

"Lets kick some butt!" She shouted.

Indigo drew her twinblades and slashed at one of the goblins with a four hit combo. The poor ugly thing stumbled to the floor afterwards and got back up.

"Your a stuborn one, arn't you?..." She tempted.

A moment later the two were battling out once more.

keith drew out his sword... "hmm i'm ready for some action!" he swung his sword at the goblins.. the goblins came try to counterattack however keith quickly dodge it.. "u guys r really missing out on the fun!" keith shouted... "okay! let's finish this!" keith then charged at the goblins then swung his great sword with a quick slash at the goblins... "whew! that's all of them i think!" and then he give indigo a small wink. then he eyed the treasure box.. "hehe now let's see what's in that treasure box shall we?"

Indigo finished the one last goblin with a quick swing of her blades, and just like that the battle was over.
She turned and glanced at the treasure box and noticed Keith's eyes lit up like fire as he gazed at it with such curious obbsession. She smiled and slowly approached the chest, and kicked it open. A faint glow of light spread from within, and the reward came in the form of a small blue colored vile. It was a potion of moderate help. Indigo gave it to Keith since it was he who had defeated most of the ugly bunch. And finally, she turned around and looked at the rest of the players.
"I'll let you guys have the other items as we progress." She said happily.
Without wasting anymore time she headed out towards the next exit. The room on which Indigo and her party had entered had the same red-colored cloths hanging from the walls as the first room. And in the center stood another platform with a chest on the top. However this time there was no group of ugly purple goblins. In their stead stood a large bulky monster; apparently formed of some solid material like rock or stone. It's eyes lit up red as it noticed our presence and began it's approach; every footsteps made a heavy echo spread around the room. The closer it came the louder the sound resonated.

"Okay. It's looks like we've disturbed the king of the chest." Indigo joked.
"No matter. We can take him, right?" She lifted one of her hands while holding the blade and blinked her eye at the group.
"Lets get'em!" She shouted and ran towards the stone monster.

(umm sorry to ask but is anyone else is gonna post other than me and spades? sorry if i sound rude... but i think the good part is just getting started so ya.. plz u guys don't quit now okay? ^ ^'''')
"hehe thanx indigo! ur the best!" keith replied, then he raned after indigo... when he reached the next room he saw a giant monster waiting for them to slay... "wow ur pretty ugly... but i'm gonna make this battle even uglier for u! so come on guys! let's make it feel some pain!" then keith launched at the monster with his great swords... he then quickly slashed the monster twice.. then the giant monster griped his fist and pounded down at keith... but then keith quickly dodge it... "grr come one i needed some help guys! u can't just let me hanging like this!" keith shouted..

Kyo: yeah yeah yeah { the bracelet glows and reika appears in his hand} allright then { he jumps at the monster} RAH! { he rapidly slashes it and then he blocks a attack} Reika do something!

Reika: fine { the blade opens up and energy starts flowing through this}

Kyo: Pyre Bunker! { he starts hitting the monster } take this HA!...{ he holds the blade infront of him aiming at the monster} BURN IN HELL! { launches a lagre blast of fire at the monster}

At first, Tundra didn't think he needed to get involved with the fight because of his higher level, but about the time Keith called for help, he realized that they actually needed it. So without any further hesitation he jumped at the monster with one of his best kicks, which the monster somehow dodged. However the follow up round house and three punch combo hit dead on in the square of the beasts back. With that he jumped over into a flanking position near Indigo and said "Your move ms. Indigo, whatever you suggest is fine with me" he finished with a slight chuckle.

((It's great to see you guys join in on the action, again! =D ))

Indigo turned to Tundra and smiled in return. She glanced at the stone monster who was now weaker than the start of battle and ran towards it with renewed intensity.
"My call....My call is finishing this monster....OFF!" She shouted as she jumped upwards and swung her blades down on its head. A combo of fast-paced strikes delivered sent the monster stumbling down ahead until it hit a wall, and then it fell to the ground. It's hitpoints were now at the critical level; Indigo knew this battle was theres for the taking. And not dwelling on the sweet taste of victory she ran to it once more and prepared for the finishing strike. At the same time, she noticed something odd standing on the exit of the room. A shadow-like being was standing until caught by Indigo's eyes, then it quickly dissapeared within the darkness.

"Huaaaah!"
Indigo slashed the monster it's last time and watched it vanish in a dull grey from the area.
There was a silence unlike the rest afterwards as she watched the exit ahead. She had a strange feeling. Something was about to happen and no one was ready, especially her.

"....O-okay guys. The treasure is not mine. Some else can have it." She said and turned towards the exit again, consumed by a curiousity never before felt.

"...Who was that...?" She whispered.
