He watched closely, silently almost the to the point where a person would think he was a NPC. " I wonder.. " He whispered, something about Nephilim had caught his attention..something about her..
That's not her original..body..
Flashes of the past ran through his mind, the liquid that was circling in front of him suddenly stopped.
She..was also my..
The liquid had started to bubble as it turned into a white feather, Floating in Zero's hand as it spun slowly, he looked down at it.
I picked this up..in Mac Anu..it..was black then..
Not 'you'..'us'
That's right, we had picked it up..she was there also..talking to me..us..what words were there..she was scared of something..a thing inside Mac Anu..I don't remember..
He was annoyed now, he had forgotten himself..he forgot what he had looked like anymore..what people had said to him. Once he snapped back into reality he had turned his hand into a fist from instinct, crushing the feather within his hand as it turned into small sparckles and slowly fell down towards the crowd, disappearing before it had reached them.
She abondoned me also..both of them..!!

Uraki was silent now. She said nothing and stared blankly at the arena, almost as if the Player behind her wasn't there. But Uraki's character moved slightly, indicating the Player behind her was still breathing and doing what a living thing needs to do.
"...What's the truth behind this event...?" Uraki said to herself, loud enough so it was put into the chat log. She had a puzzled look on her face and she furrowed her brow. "Why did they choose us: the people from the Locked incident...?" she asked herself, this time, as quiet so only Rin could hear her.
...Shinjitsu ga...nanda...?*

Nephilim began to grow impatient now. Not because Dex was taking so long, but because she wasn't feeling well and hadn't ever since her fight with Wolfeye. Her foot began to tap the arena floor and her free hand braced on her hip as she lifted the massive ax to her shoulder with the other hand. "This is odd... Did he fall asleep or something?" She yawned wide, but kept herself on the alert in case he suddenly entered.

Dex entered the arena.
"Sorry to keep you waiting Nephilim, I stopped off to grab something to eat."
Dex laughs, then get a better look at Nephilim.
"You okay? You dont look very well, sure you want to go through with this?"

Chaos was amused by Xurik's reaction to the fighting. "Calm down man... it's just a fight between some skilled players. That's all." He says with a smile as he continues to look onward to the arena.
"But that's not 100% true... there's something about these people... Uraki, Glace, Dex, Nephillim. Just who are they? What connection did they have with my guild's former leader, Shadow?" Chaos thinks to himself as he watched the fights in amazement.

Ao didn't even have time enough to leave his place and watch the 2nd match before it suddenly was over. He sighed with a small grin, shruging. "Another weak fight.. I wonder if the two winners are going to give us a better match."
Ao walked back to his place in front of the large screen and looked on intently. Both players where there, it seemed, and now the real fun was about to begin. He just hoped the hype would be worth the wait.

"It's...a long story...hard to explain as well..." Uraki said quietly and blinked when Dex appeared. "So...it's finally going to begin...let's see what you can do...Nephilim...Dex..." she whispered and her eyes glowed in behind her FMD. This was going to be interesting.
"But if I had to say...what I truly feel...I'm scared..." Uraki said to Rin in a quiet voice as she looked at the Arena with a sad expression on her face.

Nephilim stifled her next yawn and brought her ax to bear. "No, I want to continue this," she said firmly though even her character looked a bit sickly. "Prepare yourself!" She yelled as she jumped forward to attack. She knew attacking like this bad, but letting him attack first would be the end of her. She paused unexpectedly in her strike to charge it before unleashing the attack. Though it caught Dex off-guard, he leapt away from the rending power of her attack, Nephilim on his heels and he was forced to duck another attach for his head. I must keep pressing him. By forcing him to react and leave him not time to act. I just might win this...

Dex keeps ducking and weaving, but wasnt overly woried at the moment.
To beat me, she'll need to keep up close, and if she gets up close I'll wipe her out. Dex thought to himself.
By pretending to go backwards, but actually going to the right, Dex lured Nephilim close enough to attack.
"Ha! It's over!"
At the last moment Nephilim manages to avoid balk of the attack and get hit only once, but even one hit badely hurt her.
"Sorry Nephilim, your good, but you just dont have the strength or stamina to take me down." Dex says as jumps back a few feet.
Better safe than sorry. He thought to himself.

Glace watched in amazement as the battle began. His eyes completely locked into the big screen. For that moment, he could only see and hear what was shown in the screen; he didn't hear the people behind him or the players around at all. He was fully focused on the screen.
Aw man....I hope Nephilim thinks of a stragedy to have a chance against Dex. Otherwise...shes toast!

"Now this is more of a match I was expecting.." Ao said aloud, again, not really noticing his ongoing outter dialouge. "The Grappler is faster and his battle took less energy out of him. The Brandish looks like she's about to keel over from the Flu.. Unless it's some trick then she's not going to win." He said, Actually saddened by the match. "It's a shame, I was expecting more from her.. She looked tougher than that." He noted matter-of-factly, even though it sounded more of a rude thing to say.

D*mn! She moved slowly, circling Dex as she thought. His attack took her to about 60% and he'd only hit her once. He was too fast to press since he could out move her and counter anyway.. She was in a bad situation, matched against a stronger and faster opponent. She ran in and feinted an attack it his waist and leapt over him to attack with a back hand swing.
He leapt back to avoid the swing, just as Nephilim expected and wanted. With a spin she swung again, but this time let go of the ax to let in fly at Dex as she pulled out another weapon, a huge single-edged sword and charged Dex. The thrown Ax flew past the dodging Dex. He looked back at Nephilim only to be nailed across the gut by Nephilim's new held weapon. "Got ya!!" the force of the attack tossed him like a rag doll across the arena to hit the wall, a large chunk of his HP gone. It worked! Too bad it won't work again... I need a new plan now. My HP only has one hit to spare.

Why isn't she..using that 'arm'..
An arm? Yes..there was a powerful arm she had..it had resembled a gun of sorts, was she a hacker? Why's her character different now than before..had he mistaken her for somebody else..were they not the same person..
He had looked up at her username, Nephilim. Rereading it over a few times, as he oepned his mouth and started to whisper. " Nephilim..? " He wondered if he had used the proper announciation, he must have said it in a odd way.
(( Swaying Emotions- G.U. Vol 1 Disc ))
He twitched as he remembered the cathedral again, he remembered seeing her standing in front of the cathedral staring at him..talking..this time he could hear her fully..
""Thank you, for coming out here. Even if it was only to scold me for doing something stupid, thank you. I'm sorry for rambling on, you just feel right to open up to. My name is Nephilim."
What..was-
"--------? Do you believe the rumors? That a god exists within The World as a girl in a dress with long white hair? Do you think....that is what we saw in Mac Anu? A new 'goddess' of The World showing her power?"
Goddess?..what..! My name!..She..said..what's my name!!?
"Thank you for being her for me ------. You're a good person, I can tell. You know, I'm glad I met you. I hope we can be friends. "
Why is..this..happening..now?
"Thank you -----------. You're my first friend in The World." One of her wings had folded over her as she reached out and pulled a feather, he could see the sense of pain in her face as she did and placed it within his hand, letting him have her feather..his first gift.. "For you --------. A gift for being my friend. Whenever you're in trouble, use that and it'll save you."
Zero took a few steps back, placing a hand over the side of his helmet. Were those his memories..? He couldn't tell anymore, it looked so real and yet fake at the same time..
Don't believe the feathers that form a path for they will lead you to a Dead Bird
A Dead Bird? He couldn't trust those visions could he..were they planted in him? Were they somebody else's..they couldn't have been his..the hand that the feather was placed in was human and bear..Zero's was gloved. He clenched his hand and looked forward, the girl was exactly similar..she was the girl in the vision.
She was the girl in his memories..
My..first..

Welcome to the Thoughts of a Coward's Disband Cause Now You're in the Shadow of an Angel's Wingspan
Before Uraki knew what she was doing, she had stood up and gripped the railing of the Arena's seats tightly with her hands as she watched the battle between Dex and Nephilim. Her insides felt tight and her face flushed red, not in an embarrassed manner...but instead, for some reason, one of concentration.
Suddenly, Uraki felt something within her...it was strange, but she just felt like she had to do it. "Don't give up, both of you! Fight as hard as you possibly can!!" Uraki shouted, loud enough to be heard by everyone. She then fell silent, her eyes focused on the battle. She felt weak, but she knew she couldn't back out now.
I'm sorry for the many things I've done...
But...
It's because I know this...
That I can move forward...
I can prove who I am...and what I am...
The only thing I can do now is move forward...
Hoping to make up for my mistakes...
While looking towards a brighter future...

Dex hit the wall.
"Oof!"
Dex stood up, suprised.
"Wow, you caught me off guard but it wont happen again."
He uses his repth skill to recover a bit of health.
"If I only learned one thing from the locked incident it was to be prepared." Dex says as he switchs to a different gauntlet.
"This one may not be as strong as my other, but it'll be even more useful."
Dex dashed at her with even more speed than before and managed to hit her with another punch. She survived the attack but at a cost. She was now poisoned.
"Even if you manage to avoid another hit, my poison with slowly deplete your health. And if you try to cast a anti poison then I'll finish you off, face it Nephilim its over."

She flipped back and brought her sword up to the ready position. As Dex had said, the attack was weaker-dropping her to 25% instead of the near 10% she should have been at-but had poisoned her in the stead of extra damage.
"Even if you manage to avoid another hit, my poison with slowly deplete your health. And if you try to cast an anti-poison then I'll finish you off. Face it Nephilim, it's over."
She had to bite her lip to keep for yelling back at him. It was a completely fair move. Not to mention she was no one to talk, one of her older weapons having the chance of charming a foe. She dodged away from an attack by Dex and swung to keep him away, which he did quickly. After all, he only had to wait for the poison to do it's grim work or for her to chance a spell to remove or counter poison. "D*mn it..." She stood and glared at him. She knew defeat when she saw it. "Oka-"
NO!!
The mental shout and sudden pain cut off her surrender. She hung her head and gritted her teeth as she used her Brandish sword to keep from falling to her knees. Dex was looking confused. To his point of view, she appeared to be feeling the effects of the poison in real life. Her HP was dropping slowly as she endured the pain the best her could.
You CAN'T lose here! Not to him!!
She fell to her knees anyway and the sword fell from her hands. "I.....can't....lose...?" She asked herself out loud. She grabbed her chest with one hand and her head with the other as she now had a powerful headache. Dex must of heard her question as a statement since he shrugged and ran for her. He made a fist and swung, the final blow that would end the fight in his favor. It came closer, closer, the world seemed to slow as the fist approached her head.
I won't let it happen...
A sharp "A" note rang through the arena, heard only to Uraki and Nephilim as the stadium went black, but again only to those two. Dex froze in place at the same time Nephilim's eyes went blank. There was a bright flash as Nephilim could be heard yelling out, closely followed by the sound of metal tearing flesh. The light faded the reveal Nephilim staring blanking, holding nothing as the grey body of Dex hit the ground behind her. He looked as if he'd died in the middle of his attack. Another "A" in her mind snapped her back to reality. Her pain and sick feeling was gone, but she could feel the heartbeat of something powerful. It synced with her own heartbeat and faded away.
At the cheers and murmurs of the crowd, she looked around. "Wait, where's Dex?" She looked about the arena before turning to find his body laying defeated behind her; a single white feather feather floated down it him and and landed on his back. "That looks like..." She thought about for only an instant before she remembered back to the Cathedral those three months ago. "...like the feather I gave him...Minoshiya..." Meanwhile, the crowd was cheering, the murmurs of people talking about her weaponless counter-attack. The one she had no memory of making.
"IN A SHOCKING UPSET, NEPHILIM HAS WON!!" Came the announcer's voice. She looked to Uraki pleadingly, as if to ask, "What did I just do?" when she was gated to the waiting room.
"Even if you manage to avoid another hit, my poison with slowly deplete your health. And if you try to cast an anti-poison then I'll finish you off. Face it Nephilim, it's over."

Uraki's eyes widened when once again, the Arena turned dark. The crowds of Players died away and the sounds of background music faded. She was stuck in darkness and silence until one sound, the sound of metal slicing flesh broke the silence, soon to be followed by a clear, ringing note.
The Arena's scenery and sounds appeared again. Once again, uraki's eyes met Nephilim's before she disappeared. Uraki was silent now, the scene before her had gone to quickly...then this also meant that...she would have to fight her friend.
The person whom she looked at as an ally...the person whom she believed could do anything. But...what did this mean...? Things were already becoming strange...
Uraki glanced at Rin, then gave her a single nod, indicating she would be leaving soon.
