[Tsugasa-kun]

Tsugasa tilted his head replying in an annoying-ish tone "I earned it of course! Special Dungeon Event. Anyways, there are monsters here, powerful monsters. We're not here to find this girl, she's my partner in crime, but she ran ahead of me instead of waiting." Standing up Tsugasa put the Lance away, "Hmmm this field requires more power" Tsugasa pulled out his Scythe and held it behind his waist. "First thing is to kill off a monster, if we can find a Celestial Breaker around here then we have a chance of acquiring the Celestial Emblem. This field only has 2 monsters, Celestial Breakers and Celestial Busters. Celestial busters are like grunts, while Breakers are commanders. Celestial Breakers have a special skill called Chain of command. It keeps the Busters in line." Tsugasa started walking forward in search of this monster. "If we acquire the Celestial Emblem then we won't get into any confrontations with Busters." Turning around Tsugasa sighed waving Crow to come over. "Hurry up kid I ain't got all day ya know!" Un beknownst to him A gigantic creature appeared, it had no eyes and no mouth, but its body was massive and extremely built with a Rainbow like ring floating behind its back and Golden wings extending from each arm.

[Bulletcatcher]

"Come one..can't you use the skill trigger?R1 button,then any X,triangle,square,or O.You can do it,come on."
He unguarded,and demonstrated what he had explain.
The words "Gale Blade" flashed across the screen,and the creature fell over dead,leaving one left.

Dorali watched the player demonstrate the skill trigger. Bringing his erratic movement to a stop, he decided that he wanted to try it. He hit the button that the trigger was assigned to. It brought up a menu. Gale Blade was only designated to the X button, since he didn't bother to assign the moves to the other slots. He sighed and hit the X button. He chose one of the other monsters as its target before he could get hit. Dorali sped forward and made contact, the words "Gale Blade" flashing across the screen. After a chain of spins and slashes, the combo was finished, and the monster lost hundreds of HP.

"would you like to ENTER?"
the computer screen asks at Verendes' player.
He smirks and presses "OK"
---------------LOG IN------------------
---Eternal City Mac Anu------
Verendes returns and once again looks around.
Even with his assertiveness he misses the stares of the
newbie/wannabe PKer's. With a small look back, he heads out the door
and into the streets of Mac Anu.
After finnally being able to purchase a few weapons with the money
he made from that Pk....what was his name?
'hmmph, you don't even care?'
'it's not like I need to.'
'true, but he was one of the first beings so far to realease certain qualities in you.'
'Those ....qualities? Hmph, real subtle.'
'hahaha, you'll remember eventually, he said he'd make you.'
'Not worth my time, let's go.'
'scared?'
'.....heh....hehehehehehehehehehehehehehhahahahahahahah!!!!
EXCITED!!!'
'.........you've yet to change.'
--------------------------------------------
Verendes once again entered another random combination. By now he was lv13. "Not enough," he thought, "it'll have to do for now, but I vow never to be defeated again..."
As he passed through the dungeon he noticed extremely strange things. Bodies of other characters lay all around, weapons scattered, and colorations of the strangest colors. Though they all had a greyish tint which symbolized death, they also had colors such as green, blue, yellow, purple, and such. Colors of heat and cold. "Is this some kind of event I've stumbled upon? I don't remember something being posted at all on the boards." As he went on, he noticed things were becoming more and more stranger. More bodies appeared, and now, even....blood?
---------------------------------------
'This isn't right!'
'Not right?? Like you've not done things resembling this.'
'No, not like this, look at them!! They've been massacred!! I thought these kinds of sights aren't put into this game!'
'Caring for the children now? Or were you hoping that you would escape these sights in the game??!'
'....Stop it'
'Why should I!?'
'Arrrggggggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!'
------------------------------------
A player by the name of Marimi(Lv. 10) had also entered the area. She wondered why there were no monsters here at all (something Verendes had not seen yet as well). She came up on his floor just in time to hear his scream. "Eh?? Wh-what the?" She swore she heard that....not just in here. There was only one thing to do, find the noises source.
-----------------------------------
As Verendes ran through screaming "Leave me alone," he could hear footsteps...was someone chasing him? Images of bloodied corpes and pleadings came to his mind...temporarily stripping him of his sanity. He heard the footsteps get closer. His only thought: eliminate my pursuer.
------------------------------------
Marimi kept running until she could see another player's figure. "pant....pant.....are you okay?" She could clearly see the man's figure now. Had he come closer? She waited for an answer an none came. "Hey! can you hear me?"
"Oh, I hear you quite well...."
"oh, okay! Um, can you tell me what happened here?"
"Happened? NOthing happened."
"Nothing? Didn't you see all the bodies back there??"
"Hmm? Oh yes, quite a sight eh?"
He seems lost....wait. Can someone so casual in this scene be the one who did this?
She raised her scythe. Shaking. "Uhhh....um..."
"Yes?"
"D-Did you do this?"
She's shaking? Pathetic. But, he wanted to show mercy to her?
"....no, I didn't do this. I don't care if you believe me or not."
"mmm...(what should I do?)."
------------BATTLE? Marimi vs. Verendes---------------
She, in her nervousness, attacked. Verendes didn't even seem to care.
Just as she was about to make contact, she blink and noticed that she had nothing in front of her. As she was barely registaring this she felt a sword to her throat. "You Picked the wrong fight!"
She was too scared to even scream.

((OOC:Lukan,me and Azalan are the ones who decide what level you get to.
Mark it down to..let's say....13.
You can change anything in the last post to fit the new level.
It actually good you did this,because you've reminded me of:

Rule update

No Power leveling
Do not assume you've gain mass amounts of levels.
Either me,Azalan,or any other Temp-master can choose how much expereince you've gained,or other such stat increases.))

[lukan]

(thx fer that crow, wasn't really sure on that)(psst,'gained' not 'gain')
-----------------------------------------------------
"uh......huh?"
Marimi awoke to find herself still in the dungeon.
"I'm...not dead?"
Or did I die and end up here like the rest of them?
She turned and noticed that nothing changed. The bodies were still there. Either she was an exception or she never died. "Of course I didn't die," she thought, "if I did I guess I might've gone back to Mac Anu."
But, wasn't that guy gonna kill me?
She got up...and got a nice surprise!
"M-mah-my scythe!!"
The beginners scythe she had been using all this time (hey, shopping is good okay?) had now become a lv7 rare!
"Ghost Reaper.....yay!!! Oh my god! This is gr-!?!?"
She just noticed her stats.
"So he didn't kill me but........JERK!!!! Who saves somebody and leaves them with 1 HP!?"
"oh? Hey a treasure chest! (please be a return feather). And, Hup!"
Ding! Antidote!!
"....I hate my life."
---------------------------------------------------------------
'So, are you going to tell me why you saved her?'
'None of your business.'
'It can be.'
'.....'
'Do you know her?'
'I'm.....not really sure....'
'Oh? I was sure you did; you even gave her a rare weapon you were saving for the extension!'
'That was just on a.....whim!'
'Right.'
'Shut it or I'll quit right now!'
'.......'
'That's better'
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Verendes arrives back in Mac Anu. "It must be late," he thought, "there's no one here. Isn't this supposed to be the busiest town of the game?"
'well, maybe most newbs are kids and got a curfew?'
"Good point."
He walked on down. He, himself, was getting pretty tired as well. He was walking down the stairs until, all of a sudden, someone tripped him!
Of course he landed face down.
'HAahahahahahaAHahhahaahah! I gotta give her a reward!'
Her?
Verendes looked behind only to look at the face of a very familiar girl.
Oh crap.
--------------------------------------------------------------
"Okay, buddy, you got tons to explain!"
Marimi and Verendes had gone to sit in the fountain in the town square.
"Explain what?"
"A lot! First I find you in a pile of corpses that shouldn't be there, then I'm nearly killed by you-"
"In all fairness, you attacked first."
"That's beside the point!"
Beside?! Is she crazy?
"Anyway, first you knock me ou-"
"hm?"
Knocked me...out?
Wait, when'd I even faint in the first place??
While she's thinking, Verendes starts getting up and walking away.
Only to get her bag thrown at him. Her, 100 ton bag.
"Ouch!! What was that for!!?"
"I'm not done yet! Ahem!" He sits back down.
"I'm not sure what happened but then you leave me alone in that dungeon like a sick puppy and you then have the audacity to leave this!"
His member address flashes across the screen.
------------------------------------------------------------------
"....."
"Hellooooo?"
"......"
Verendes had tried to escape her after the member address was shown. Karma's a real b-
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!"
"Look! I don't know how you actually managed to get to the same field as me, but will you stop following me? For now at least?"
"Well if you'dve given me all the answers first I might've!"
"I've got no time for this."
"Why?"
"I'm looking for someone."
"Oh? Is that why you've been going to random fields for a while now?"
"Wah!? How did you-"
"-know? You stand out a bit you know?"
"tch."
"I mean, your whole outfit looks a bit too advanced to be a beginning Adept Rouge outfit.
"..."
"So, who are you looking for?"
"Someone I heard might be pretty powerful."
"Powerful?"
"If there's one thing I like if fighting the strong."
"What's his name?"
"Azure Crow."

He walks back to the bridge and leans on the railing,looking at the ever setting sun.
"Guess its that.But the game isnt as fun as i though itd be.who would have thought id be alone in real life and in a game....12 million and not friend...Oh well"
Heads to the Chaos gate...
"Hmmm...Where to now.."

"Dammit,not again..."

[lukan]

"hm?"
"What is it?"
"A battle arena"
"A battle...arena?"
Question. Has she never seen one before?
"yes, a battle arena, you do know what it is right?"
"er...."
Thought so.
"Sigh," I guess I'll help her, "c'mon."
Verendes sent Marimi a flash mail.
A flash mail? He wants me to join into a party with him.ACCEPT.
-----PARTY: 1.Verendes, 2 Marimi, 3 N/A----------
"So, what're you gonna do?"
"let's go."
They got close to the arena. Not yet touching it, Marimi peered inside.
"I can't see a thing!"
"Well, it's supposed to be a risk to enter these. Hopefully it's just some monsters attacking someone."
"'hopefully it's monster attacking someone?' You're not exactly wishing the guy goodwill here."
Verendes chuckled.
-------------------------------------------------------
'Laughing?'
'hm?'
'never seen you do that before. Without some reason behind it anyway.'
'I guess it's just another strange thing.'
'You seem to have these 'strange things' happen fairly often.'
'touche'
'Don't get smart.'
'Free country'
'look, it's one thing to get more confident, but don't forget you're still nothing without me.'
'I know.'
----------------------------------------------------------
"Hello?"
"Hm? Oh, yes. Let's go."
Verendes touched the barrier and held until both him and Marimi were taken inside.
"Alright!" said Marimi as she took out her scythe.
Verendes brought out his blade and readied himself.
Surrounded. By Player Killers.
But, Who was that already taking them on?
"Not my day."

(Haseoxth:)

The battle fence crackled,signifying the entrance of a player,but no player entered.
The screen inverted for a second,then went back to normal.
A faint hissing filled the air,like compressed air leaving a tank.

A small white feather floated into the middle of the battle fence encloded area,landing on the ground.
It slowly burned away in a small spark of blue flame,which wasn't enough to even light the ground around it.
The hissing stopped.
The players in the area all froze for a second,then the area inverted again unexpectedly,then changed back as soon as it had the first time.


(Lukan:)

Continue.I have nothing I need to moderate right now.


(Bulletcatcher:)

"Hey,that's not bad."
Said the brown cloaked guy.
He watched as the monster fell down dead.
"All you need is a little push,or a little incentive,and you do pretty goo huh?"
The guy sat down,for no aparant reason,on a stump of ground nearby.
He closed his eyes,put an elbow on his knee,and weighed his head on the hand at the end of the same arm.
He slightly opened one eye foe a second,then closed it again.
He didn't touch the chest,he just sat still.
((moderating:I explained the area before,but basicly there are three bridges,going down,right,and up,and a chimporter going left,unactivated of course.))

(Tsuaga/Crow:)

"Huh."Crow muttered.
He drew his weapons out.
He was equiped in the game as an Adept rouge.
A twin blade first,then a Blsde Brandier,then a Flick Reaper.
He was only the first right now,and the two latter were out of his reach.
He knew full well what that he was far underleveled for this,so he got he blades out,and was prepared to fight with skill,not stats.
He had one skill,gale blade,and he knew something called a skill trigger existed,but he hadn't learned to use the system,on account of not caring for reading the manuel or taking the tutorial..if there was one.
He skipped through almost everything at the loadup screen,so he didn't know.
Crow waited for Tsugasa to do something,as only someone who was a fool would act before someone with personel experience,as a child would act in the duty of a parant who knew better.
He thought about what a strange example he was.
He had skill,but nothing to channel it through due to lack of know-how.
He was an experienced player trapped in a new player body.
"Are you going to do anything "Tsugasa"?Or are you to afraid of the same challange you threw upon me?"
He crossed his blades across each arm.
This would be his fighting pose,if even just for now.
(Tsugasa,Crow is inspecting it for anything like a regeneration count,status improvment symbols,armour meters,and the like.Tell me if he sees any,it's your creature after all)





((IF I missed someone,please tell me))

[Tsugasa-kun]

The monster was technically the equivalent of a legendary PKer, massive stats, a long health bar and deadly skills. Tsugasa looked up with a bored expression. "What with this?" after a second Tsugasa smiled a wide grin "ITS A BREAKER!" Turning on his heel he slid back starting battle with it. "Alright Kid this is where champions are born and failures reach reality." Running forward in a zig zag pattern Tsugasa jumped high into the air, scythe high over his head. "Lets see what you've got!!!!!!" Coming down fast Tsugasa began to spin quickly "RING PUNISHMENT!" as he came down he became a spiky spinning wheel slowly shreading down the center of the beast.

[Azure crow]

"Alright.If your going to attack it so recklessly,I guess there's nothing to be worried about."
Crow lunged at it,striked it's heel first,on perpose,ad Tsugasa struck it's torse,hoping to cut loose the foot and lean the creature more into Tsugasa'a attack,adding momentume and the chance for a follow up attack to the strike.
He gashed at it's leg three times,the second time yelling
"Break",
then yelling
"Come one" the third time.
It wasn't working,so he chose a different tactic.
First he needed some information though.
"Hey,rouge classed guy,how do you use the skill tirgger?!?!?"

[lukan]

(psst, I was just with haseoxth)
--------------------------------------------

The battle fence crackled,signifying the entrance of a player,but no player entered.
The screen inverted for a second,then went back to normal.
A faint hissing filled the air,like compressed air leaving a tank.

A small white feather floated into the middle of the battle fence encloded area,landing on the ground.
It slowly burned away in a small spark of blue flame,which wasn't enough to even light the ground around it.
The hissing stopped.
The players in the area all froze for a second,then the area inverted again unexpectedly,then changed back as soon as it had the first time.

-------------------------------------------------
Verendes awoke to find himself with Marimi at his side. This place, what is this place? It had clocks around as a background but, no matter how much you'd move forward, they wouldn't move.
"uh," said Marimi as she awoke, "what happened?"
This is....
'heheheheh, this is...'
Hidden Forbidden Deaths
------------------------------------------------
Marimi approached Verendes, who was now shaking. "A-are you okay?"
No. Why are we here?? I thought I'd have rid my self of this place.
"Verendes?!"
This is too dangerous. No one should be here.
"G-get out!"
"what?"
"Marimi! Get out of here!"
"Wait! First tell me what's going on!"
death and destruction and pain and hopelessness and fear and insanity realism nothing and all and deceit and futures and pasts and all and NOTHING!!!
"these voices..."
"Ver-"
"Didn't you hear me!?! Leave NOW!!"
"uh!" She went to her menu and was shocked. "It's gone! the log out button!"
"Force your will, try to shut it off from the outside!"
"ah!" Why? Why can't I even take off my headgear? What's going on!?
--------------------------------------------------------
'Looks like it's too late'
'Not yet'
'She'll be trapped here too'
'I won't let it happen'
'not happen?? HAHAHYHH! You're THE ONE DOING IT!!!'
'NO...no no no no NO!!'
'You called these voices'
' pant pant...what about..the other players?'
'looks like you only wanted the girl heheh'
-------------------------------------------------------
"Verendes?"
"Get out...get out...."
"Answer me!"
"........"


NOW YOU DIE!!!

[Tsugasa-kun]

Tsugasa looked over at the new player as he slid backwards as he landed. placing his hand far forward as he leaned forward to slow down. Looking up with a surprised expression Tsugasa blinked for a bit. "You mean.. you don' know?? we're in trouble." Tsugasa stood up and ran forward with a serious but bloodthristy look in his eyes. "Only kidding. Keep your finger on the Rengeki button, its on the right side of the controller. Make a few attacks first before releasing it!" Tsugasa went extremely low and angled as he winded up for a slicing pass.

right before he reached the beast, he Swung his massive cleaver like blade at the Celestial breaker, as he spun the shear weight of the scythe's head spun him around like a wheel as he diced the foes legs to pieces along with a good amount of grass and Earth as well. Almost as if a fireball had whizzed past the Breakers feet. Standing up and rebounding Tsugasa gently landed on the balls of his wolf like toes, and gently rested the scythe on his shoulder. "You finish it kid, btw, my name is Tsugasa. Remember it"

[Azure crow]

((OOC:Lukan,what did I say about clearing story events with me first?)


(Crow/Tsugasa)

"Whatever,I call you what I want!!"
He charged at the creature,striking it a few times,then waiting to see this "Rengeki" happen.
The combo meter read 8,and nothing was happening.
He struck it a few more times.
Eventually blue rings circled the creature,and Crow's character had "Rengeki" flashing oever his head.
Tsugasa had said the use the Rengeki button..not a very good explination.
Crow thought for a second,then his emotions got sweapt away as he relied on the mixture of instinct and logic he was so fond of using back in R:1.
He thought about the word rengeki,and the letter R flashed in his mind from the front od the word,
He pressed the R1 button as a shot in the dark,and a screen with four panels that said Gale Blade appeared.
He pressed the button to attack,any button now,and he charged at his opponent.
He yelled Rengeki as the words ran across the screen,and then gale blade.
He hit the creature,hard,and three times.
Each hit vibrated his controller
He enjoyed the game,if only for a second,and allowed the rush of power to force a sadistic smile onto his face.
His attack ended,but the vibrations wern't forgotten.
"That was....so different.....so....."
He yelled suddenly,and began clawing at the beast again,trying to built another Rengeki up,trying to fuel his hunger for this power,then feed and empty it again.
"More...more...more.."He muttered as he struck it,not knowing if it was alive or dead"more..more......MORREEEEE!!!!!!!!!!.......Agh."
His senses came back.
He fell to his knees,a confused look on his face.
He held up a weapon,and looked at it.
"Tsugasa.....so...you know this World?Then show me it..show me this world so that..."He was still on his knees,his voice calm and collected"...Make it my advantage...I need it....to save them..I need it...."

[Bulletcatcher]

Dorali looked around. He noticed the chim-porter on one side of the island. Just as he was about to go, he remember the person who had just saved him.

"Hey," he said, "Who are you anyway?"

He stood there, waiting for an answer.

[Azure crow]

"The guy sat there for a minute,then sprinted up,jumping over this players head without warning while uttering "Boing!"
He landed,and turned to face him.
The cloak moved in the wind for a second.
"My name is Komara.You can call me Koma for short.That's pernounced CO-MA.Like the "near death sleep".
You seem like a player that needs help."
He looked up.
"So,do yooou?"

[Rengeki]

AO drew his Vas Halbern.
He looked up, to the face of the large gun giant in front of him.
He had ignored all the small fries and went straight for the boss. It was the fastest way to gain levels...fighting others stronger than him. He wouldnt get stronger if he fought weaklings.
The Gun Giant moved one of its massive arms.
AO jumped up, ready to meet the challenge. he slashed at it.

((Do I need a mod for this battle?))

[Azure crow]

No,go ahead.
You'll gain a total of about...3 level for this,because your still level 1.
Add one more level if you do a Rengeki.
Make it good though.

[Rengeki]

((Alright.
And I have the default Edge Punisher skills, right?))

[Azure crow]

((Tiger Blitz,yes.Although I have heard Haseoxth was wrong,I don't really care at this point,and thus the knights will be edge punishers no matter what happens.
So yes,tiger blitz))

[Bulletcatcher]

"The guy sat there for a minute,then sprinted up,jumping over this players head without warning while uttering "Boing!"

He looked up.
"So,do yooou?"

Dorali stood there stunned at the sudden outburst. It took him a while before he could get his mind straight and reply. "Erm, yeah. I guess I could use some help." Dorali's attention pulled away, as usual, and he looked around to the chim-porter, wondering how it worked.
