Hakan Blackfire: I've posted it but no one's reviewed it.

Cardinel: I'll probably have that in this one or the alternate fic. As for the country i'll bring it into the sequel if I finish this one and people want a sequal.

T man: Sorry for not updating for so long. I've been watching anime and reading translations for the haruhi suzumiya books and kara no kyoukai. Damn it I wanna see the movies but they're not shown in the u.s. Also my comp burned out and I lost the original work I had for this chap.

Farina: (grumbles) Which he sees as a good reason to put off work.

Lyn: What are you upset about?

Farina: He gave Legault and Marcus a gun that destroys money.

Canas: So?

Farina: They used it on my gold. By giving them a weapon like that it prove that he's evil.

T man: How am I evil?

Farina: For one Sain screams when ever the lights go out.

Mathew: Ya. It's getting annoying.

T man: Doesn't mean it's my fault.

Lyn: It probably has to do with what ever you did in that labyrinth.

T man: No it doesn't.

Farina: Sain, the author's behind. (sain screams) See.

T man: That means nothing.

Sain: Mommy, keep the dark man away (in the fetal position.)

T man: That doesn't mean any thing either.

Sain: Ahh. No, not the evil fire sword. (screams again and sucks his thumb)

Farina: See. He's evil.

T man: If I was evil I wouldn't be giving you a chance to get your money back. Beat me and i'll pay you back double what was distroyed.

Farina: You're on.

Lyn: That's not a good idea.

Canas: Yea. As author he can use any of his favorite weapons, spells or techniques from animes/manga/video games.

Farina: I don't care. I want my money.

T man: I am the bone of my sword. Steal is my body, and fire is my blo- (gets his mouth covered by Farina)

Farina: Not that one.

Canas: For any one not familiar with the fate/stay night series or any thing related if the author had finished his chant Farina would have turned into a pin cushion for a bunch of swords.

Lyn: I think we should start the story now before this goes any further.

T man: (Moves Farina's hand) Fine. This might not be a long chapter but hit it it Canas.

Canas: You should know the way it goes by now but if you don't the author does not own fire emblem or the chars who were submitted to the story and makes no money from this.

James walked along the path with his eyes closed. Following behind his was his brother, Renault, Canas, Pent, Nino, Jaffar and Eliwood. Owen just followed James while Renault, Canas, Pent and Eliwood looked around. They were walking through a forest of dead trees that gave off the same air as a grave yard on the night of a new moon. The path they were walking on was covered in grass from the lack of use.

"It's only a bit farther now" Owen said looking back.

They just nodded.

"Are you alright" Jaffar asked looked down at Nino who was holding onto his arm.

"Ya. I'm fine. It's just that there are lots of upset spirits here" Nino said.

Pent just nodded in agreement. He had felt unsettled when they entered the forest but from what he was told on Nino's skills from Erk and having seen them him self she was more in tune with spirits than he was.

"For good reason" James said as he stopped and opened his eyes.

7 points of light quickly flew at them from the forest. Owen quickly raised his staff and a barrier came around them. Nino moved closer to Jaffar as the lights started slamming against the barrier to get it. James eyes glowed red as he lt out a loud roar. The lights stopped and flew off. Owen looked around and lowered his staff. The barrier faded as James closed his eyes and started walking again.

"What were those" Eliwood asked.

"Spirits of the dead that haven't left this plane of existence" Renault said as he started walking again.

"And they wont till my life ends" James said.

Eliwood was about to ask why but Renault shook his head showing it wouldn't be a good idea. After a few minutes they came to a clearing. In the center of the clearing was a brick fort. There was no grass around the fort or even weeds and there were scorch marks at windows and on the main door with bones at the base of the windows.

"This is the place were you were trained" Canas asked.

"Yes. Sorry about the bones. After the... incident no one came around to deal with the bodies" Owen said looking at the fort.

"Is the belt here" Eliwood asked.

Owen held up his staff and aimed the top at the fort and it glowed lightly.

"It's there" Owen said.

They had come to the fort because Lana told them that the cross belt of divinity was there. Lana had showed up in the camp the night before and told them it was there before she left. The belt wasn't with their mother when her body was found and if it was it would have been taken by who ever dug up her grave. It wad decided they'd investigate but James figured that Lana took the belt and put it in the fort to mess with him. Pent and Canas had come along to take a look at the maps and books in the fort and Nino was brought along to help. Jaffar came to keep an eye on Nino and help if there was trouble while Eliwood and Renault came to look around. James opened his eyes as he took his sword off of his belt and put it on the ground.

"What are you doing James" Eliwood asked.

"Simple. I'm going in. Alone" James said looking back as he took his gauntlets off and put them on top of his sword

"Wont it be dangerous" Pent asked.

"Ya but i've got some things to deal with" James said.

Before any one could say any thing he opened the doors to the fort and walked in. He took a calming breath as the doors closed behind him. There was dried blood staining the walls along with scorch marks. Remains of dead bodies were on the floor . James closed his eyes and shook his head. He opened them and started walking down the hall. After a few steps he came to a small hole in the wall with blood around it. He bent down and picked up a slim sword on the floor. It was the same one he had used the last time he was there and the same one he had used to kill Keir. He looked from the sword to the end of the hall and started walking. He pushed open two burned doors and walked into an arena.Different portions of the arena were burned with skeletons wearing armor on the floor and some wearing clothes in the stands. He walked over to a part of the arena floor that had large scorch marks. He looked around before closing his eyes and leaned against the wall.

"Let's get this trip to hell started with" James said.

He opened his eyes and there were spectators in the stands cheering loudly and other students standing next to him. He heard the announcer start saying the names of the next group of students who would be fighting and waited for things to go as they did years ago.

(SC)

James leaned back on his right side and dodged a sword swing that would of hit his shoulder. His opponent was surprised by the way he avoided and quickly swung again to hit him but James blocked the sword with his own. James pushed forward and sent his opponent onto his back. James quickly brought the sword up under the persons neck as he tried to get up. He smiled as the sword pressed into the persons neck and feared showed in their eyes. James was about to push the sword down into their neck when the announcer yelled that he had won. James mumbled a curse under his breath as he moved the sword from the persons neck and moved back to his place among the students.

"The majority of the people here aren't even worth my time. They should just be dealt with now" James thought to him self with a voice in the back of his head asking why he was thinking that.

He figured it had to do with what ever was giving him the thoughts to kill his opponents. He watched as more of the students fought each other and smirked as some of them that was knocked down and taken to get healed. He noted which ones he should pay attention on as they would give him the best challenge. He lifted up the slim sword he was using and wondered if he could get some thing sharper but was pulled out of the thought when he heard his name called. The 6 final fighters where on the arena floor and that the remaining 3 would have a free for all fight. James looked around and saw that there were five students other than him self there. He figured he had been to caught up in the fighting to have noticed. There was nothing odd about them except for one knight in white armor. He got a strange feeling from them but decided to pay no attention to them. He saw that the two next matches drew out longer than the others and knew he'd be in for a good fight. There was no way he'd loose to his opponent when there were two better fighters waiting. His name was called out along with that of the person in the white knight armor. He walked out into the center of the arena and saw that the person was using a killer lance and wondered why it he was about to ask when the bell sounded signaling the start of the fight. He quickly raised his sword as he dodged to the side. As he moved he felt an urge to kill the knight but ignored it. The knight swung their lance in a low arc that would hit his thigh but James jumped before it reached him. The moment he touched the floor he quickly moved forward and slammed the handle of his sword down onto the knights hand. The knight yelped and dropped their lance. James took his chance, picked up the lance and stabbed it into one of the side seems of their armor. The knight screamed and waved their arm showing that they withdrew. His vision gained a red tint as he got a tighter grip on his sword.

"This is when it started" James said to him self as he heard the words he said years back.

He kicked the knight off of the end of the lance and onto the ground. The helmet came off when the knight hit the ground. He jumped onto the knights chest as he held the spear in a under hand position and looked down as the judges, tournament competitors and watchers from other territories yelled for him to stop. His saw his opponent was Jen, Lana's mother. If he had been in control then he would have wondered why she was his opponent but payed it no mind as she thrust the lance down into her throat. He pulled the lance out and blood came out as two of the judges ran towards him. He looked at them from the corner of his left eye and threw the killer lance. The lance went through the air and into the chest of one of the judges. This caused some people to scream as the guards for the tournament started coming towards him. James chanted some thing foreign to him as a group of fire balls formed above his head and shot into the guards. Some of them dodged while others took the fire balls to their chests and dropped. People started leaving the stands not wanting to be around to see what else would happen.

"No one's getting out of here so easily" James said to him self lightly.

He chanted another spell as he slammed his fist down on the floor. A ring of fire formed around his fist before streams of flames went across the floor and sent the doors along with any one who touched them on fire. He smirked as he saw people start trying to put out the flaming bodies and doors. He heard movement behind him and rolled to the side as a sword came don at him. He quickly turned and slashed his sword at the persons chest. They fell to the ground as he got back up. He looked around to see he was surrounded by four guards with another one using a bow farther off. Two of them moved forward and circled him. One of them raised their sword and charged him. James moved to the left and avoided their attack.

"You're to slow" James said.

He quickly spun around and stabbed his sword into their back. The swordsman yelled before James pulled it out. He quickly chanted the first spell he used and sent some fire balls into the crowd.

"This is going to get a lot worse unless you can kill me" James said smiling as people screamed because of the fire.

He took a hold of the side of his cloak and readjusted it as the archer fired off an arrow. He spun to the side and the cloak was lifted to the air. He looked down and saw that the arrow had been cut in half. He looked at the bottom of his cloak and saw there were saw toothed blades on the bottom. He spun around again and cut up another arrow that was coming towards him. He stopped spinning he blocked the swing of an ax coming towards his head. The two fighters pushed their weapons against each other before James kicked him down. James quickly move to their side and stabbed his sword into the man chest. As he started to remove his sword his remaining two enemies charged him from his right as the archer fired an arrow between them. James started to pull his sword up faster but the man he stabbed grabbed onto it. Seeing that with out his sword he wouldn't be able to block both the two opponents and the arrow instinct took over. He took a deep breath and sent out a stream of fire. The fire burned the arrow and covered his to opponents in flames. The man holding onto his sword loosened his grip and James quickly stabbed him again. The archer looked at the two on the floor burning before looking at him for a couple of seconds before he screamed and ran into the hall. He then noticed that there was no one in the arena.

"Where's the fun in that" James said as he chanted again.

Fire balls formed around him before flying out into the halls to hunt people down. He smirked as he heard people scream. He raised his sword and ran into the hall. As he smelled fear in the air he started running. He came across two people in generals armor bu finished them off quickly and ran past them. He stopped at a 4 way intersection and looked around wondering where the spectators went. He didn't feel like tracking them down so he chanted again before slamming his fist down into the floor and streams of fire went in different directions along the floor and walls.

"Now what else can I do" James asked him self.

He closed his eyes as another spell came to him. He chanted another spell and two ghost images of him self appeared. He opened his eyes and started walking down the hall in front of him as the other two went in separate directions. He continued down the hall till he heard the sound of people running. He pulled up the hood of his cloak to cover his head as he smiled and started running. He knew he was getting close to the exits and he wasn't in the mood to let his fun end. As he ran he saw some one ahead of his and threw his sword. The sword went through the air and struck the person in their back. James slowed down and pulled out the sword and saw that the person he had hit was an archer. He put the sword on his belt before picking up their bow and arrows before heading down the hall. As he went through the hall he saw people ahead of him. He quickly raised the bow and started firing some arrows. People screamed as the arrows hit them and those who didn't get hit turned back to see him. He fired off the rest of his arrows hitting the people who were drawing their weapons in their necks.

He smiled seeing that there was no one else with weapons and chances were those still standing didn't know how to used them. He tossed the bow aside and drew his sword before charging into the group.Some of the people tried to defend them selfs but he was to fast and he cut them down easily. Those who didn't defend them self ran but James was able to catch up with them. After a couple of minutes there wasn't any one left living in the hall. As he looked around he heard the sound of some one crying. He looked towards where the sound was coming from and saw a blond haired girl kneeling on the floor. As he started walking towards her she backed away. As he came close she got up to run but he grabbed her and slammed her against the wall. He grabbed a hold of her neck and lifted her against the wall.

"Please stop this James" the girl said as she tried to get him to let go of her.

"Sorry but i'm to far gone to stop and for that matter i'm enjoying it" James said as he lined up his sword.

He smiled and thrust the sword forward towards the center of the girls chest. James blinked and he was back in the hallway and the sword was in the hole he found earlier.

James let go of the sword and dropped to one knee. He closed his eyes and caught his breath as he put away the memories. When he finished he stood up and walked back down the hall way. He stopped at the intersection and headed left. After walking for a while he opened two double doors and entered a library. Books were thrown all over the place. Some were cut apart, burned or covered in dried blood. He ignored the skeletons on the floor and looked around. He walked up some stairs and stopped in front of a bronze statue that had it's hands positioned like it was holding a weapon. In the hands was his mothers belt. He took it from the hands and slipped it around his arm before going back down the stairs. As he went for the door he picked up a few books figuring they might be useful to the others and would be enough to keep them from coming in to look for them. He muttered some thing to him self and left the library. A few minutes later he came out the front door.

"What happened James? It look like you got into a fight" Eliwood asked.

James looked down at him self and noticed he was covered in cuts.

"Nothing. Just had some trouble" James said as he handed the books to Canas.

"With what" Renault asked.

"Nothing you need to concern your self with" James said as he tossed the belt to Owen.

"Some thing happened and I think we should know" Owen said as he cought the belt.

"It was a personal matter I had to attend to" James said as he put his gauntlets on and picked up his sword.

Before Owen could ask more James went into the forest and back to camp. He shook his head before taking some of the books from Canas and started back towards the camp after his brother.

T man: I'm not sure if this is chapter is up to the grade of my other ones. If it isn't then I apologize.

Farina: Now that you're done apologizing to the readers I think you should to me.

T man: Why?

Farina: That's why. (points to her dead body swords sticking out.)

Canas: We told you not to fight him.

Lyn: What did you two fight about for that matter?

Farina: That he's just finished watching Ef a tale of memories and is planning on watching both the 02 and 06 versions of kanon which means he wont be writing for a while.

T man: The good anime fan watches both the short and long series of animes they're interested in and if you want to return to your old body just remove the swords. The dead body will start healing and you'll be put back when it's finished.

Farina: Then how come Eliwood's not back in his body?

T man: He's in the cage with the mini Serras. I set it up so souls can't get in or out. Also, I don't like him.

Farina: Well when I get back into my body i'll give you a good beating on his behalf (tries grabbing one of the swords but her hand goes through it) What the heck.

T man: (Smiles) I forgot to mention that I set it up so your secondary body can't touch the swords.

Farina: You bastard (tries punching the author but her fist goes through him.)

T man: I'm stupid but not that stupid. You'll have to get some one else to pull those swords out of you.

Farina: (looks to Canas and Lyn) Guys.

Canas/Lyn: You leave us out of this (starts running with Farina chasing after.)

T man: Well don't forget to read, review and if you have the time review the alternate story. As a way of apologizing i've included a part of the first chapter from my .hack fic that goes with the questions many fans ask 'if there are copies of The World on other countries what would happen if the same problems arose that Kite and his group faced?' So, with out further ado I present .hack//seprate lands. (name may change in the future if any one can suggest better)

(.hack)

Zero ran through the dungeon with his rusty nails ready. As he came to the stairs he stopped and started going through his inventory. He still had a good amount of health drinks and if those ran out he'd have to resort to the scrolls he had been given. He took out a speed scroll and used it on him self before heading down the stairs. When he came to the bottom of the stairs he quickly brought his weapons up as the door closed behind him and a monster portal opened. He quickly used a wizards blood as the light from the portal cleared and two goblins stood before him.

"Let's hope this works" he said to him self as the two goblins charged at him.

He raised the rusty nails and used miu lei on the nearest goblin. He smiled as the goblin turned around and started attacking the other one but stopped smiling when he saw it wasn't enough to stop the other one. He quickly moved out of the goblins attack range as it took a swing at him.

"Here's hoping this works" Zero said as he cast the spell again.

He saw the charm status appear on the goblins info and smiled as the two monsters started fighting each other. With them both charmed it meant that he'd most likely have to fight one of them when the other died. As the health of the second one he casted the spell on dropped he ran up and landed a killing blow on it before turning to the first one and used saber dance on it before it the charm status wore off. The second goblin dropped and started fading away with the first right behind it. He lowered his weapons and looked around. When he didn't see any other monsters he headed to the next portal. Zero would run into portals and fight the monster that came out while only using his healing and status boosting items as needed so he would have them later if he needed them. It continued on like this for the twin blade as he went deeper into the dungeon. As he ran he saw a portal up ahead and slowed down. According to the map it was a 4 way intersection with only one portal before the next floor. While he had come there to get some levels he had made it more important to reach the gott statue and get some treasures to build up money or keep any good armor so once he reached the statue there'd be no reason for him to stay any longer. This was a good thing as, even though the place was a low level dungeon, the place gave him the creeps.

"Time to get this over so I can get out of here faster" Zero said as he edged towards the portal.

He raised his weapons as the portal opened and his mouth opened a bit when he didn't see any thing. There wasn't any monsters, a chest or even a booby trapped chest. Well, it wasn't so bad for the last one as he had already run out of fortune wires to disarm traps about a floor ago. He sighed and shook his head. He put his daggers onto his belt before taking a seat on the dungeon floor and scratched the back of his head.

"Maybe I should take a break or some thing" Zero asked him self.

He put his hand on his knees and was about to take of his head set when he heard the sound of movement. He quickly stood up with his hands near his weapons. Close enough to draw them quickly but not enough to give the idea he was a PK to a new player. He relaxed a bit when he saw that it wasn't a monster. She had pure white hair with blond streaks in it that started out short in the front but became waist length in the back. She had grey eyes and her skin was marble white. Her dress was a fire red color, she wore ruby red sandals that looked like they were apart of a school uniform and there was a broach that looked liked the infinity symbol below her neck but it looked like there was a small segment missing from the right loop. He couldn't tell if she was skipping or hopping as she'd be on the move once the toes of her sandals hit the floor. On her face was a panicked look as she hopped/skipped around him. He wondered if she was a special done pc or an npc. Of coarse he stopped for a couple of seconds as the girl left his sight. He had read enough stories and watched enough shows to know when some one ran with that sort of face it normally meant they were being chased. Not knowing weither or not what was chasing her would come after him he quickly followed after the girl. He saw her again as he ran but she faded away the closer they got to the wall. She was completly gone by the time she reached the wall. Zero stopped and put his hand on the wall and pressed against it but nothing happened.

"Was she a hacked character or part of an event" Zero asked him self.

He thought this over for a couple of seconds wondering if she was why there was no monster or any thing in the portal before he felt some one was behind him. He then remembered she had been running from some thing and drew his daggers as he spun around. He looked around but didn't see any thing.

"O.k. That's it. I'm outta here as soon as I get to that statue" Zero said as he started running to the next floor.

As he went through the last floor he was a bit jumpy thinking some thing he couldn't handle was there. Luckily for him most of the portals were chest but he had pass on the ones that were trapped. He smiled as he entered the room with the gott statue. As he had only started playing that day he didn't know what summon creature the statue was shaped after but at the moment he didn't care. He opened the chest and got two ivory berets and a graceful book. He could sell the two berets and keep the stat increasing item for him self or sell it if he was low on money. He turned and started leaving the room as the magic holding the statue up left it and it fell into the pit below it. He knew he could just use a sprite ocarina to leave but figured it'd be less wasteful to just go back the way he came as there wouldn't be any more portals. As he started towards the previous floor he heard some one scream. He stopped and looked around before he heard the scream again and took of in the direction it was coming from. He came to the end of a hall way and stopped. In front of was a mu guardian. He wondered what a level 28 monster was dong in a low level place visited by beginners but tossed the thought aside as he heard another scream. He looked again an saw the monster hit the girl who had run past him with its swords. He quickly used a speed charm and ran forward and knocked the monsters sword off coarse as it tried stabbing the girl. He looked back behind him and saw that the girl was knocked out. Wither or not she was a pc or an npc he felt that he should protect her.

"O.k ugly if you want a fight bring it" Zero said knowing that he'd probably get beaten.

The monster looked down at him then at the girl behind him before swinging its swords and knocked him aside. The attack had knocked his hp down to the double digits so he quickly used a healing item. He got back up as the monster started towards the girl.

"I do not like being ignored" Zero said as he used a dark traitor scroll on the monster.

Black spikes came up and hit the monster from below doing a low amount of damage. The monster turned around and faced him.

"Oh crap" Zero said to him self as he backed up.

The monster raised it's sword and took a swing at him. Zero quickly brought his weapons up to block but it only reduced the damage a small amount because the monster was many levels higher than him. He started moving back and used scrolls to hit the monster with spells. The monster followed him before using one of its own. Zero quickly used a magic resistance items before the spell knocked him on his back. He groaned as he got back up and used a healing item on him self. If he hadn't have used that resistance item the spell would have killed him and he did not want to die to a most likely glitched monster. He had heard some bad rumors about that happening and didn't want to experience it first hand. He quickly used another speed charm on him self along with items to increase his accuracy, strength and defense before charging at the monster. When he was close enough he used saber dance. While it wasn't much damage it was better than nothing. He fought it with a hit and run tactic of getting up close to use saber dance and moving back out of its attack range and using hp or sp regaining items. The only problem was that he was running out of healing items because the monster was doing more damage to him than he was to it.

"Time to change tactics" Zero said to him self as he moved back.

Once he felt he was at a safe distance he used another wizards blood on him self before using a beast bane on th monster. He smiled as he saw the monster loose it's magic defense before using a health charm to increase his hp recover and a hermits blood to increase his magic strength. As the monster charged at him he used the death and the devil scrolls to poison and curse the monster so it would loose it's hp and sp over time. The monster hit him with his swords and knocked Zero back. He quickly used one of his remaining healing items before using every spell scroll he had. Because the monster wasn't able to regain it sp it wasn't able to cast spells which meant Zero was able to stay out of it's attack range and recovery. After a couple of minutes this he ran out of the scrolls and the monsters magic defense had returned.

"Might as well finish this with a close up fight" Zero said as he used the last of his status increasing items.

The time left for the the death spell was coming to an end along with the effects of Zero's health charm as he charged the monster. As he got closer to it he used his only warrior, hunter and knight bane scrolls to reduce the monsters attack speed, accuracy and strength. Zero put the last of his remaining sp into his saber dance attacks and attacked normally when he didn't have any sp or sp recovery items left.Since Zero wasn't doing his attacks as fast as he used to the monster took it's chance to attack him with out being interrupted. Zero cursed him self as he was knocked back and saw that his hp was almost gone. The next hit would kill him. He could run but since the doors normally closed during monster fights the chances were he wouldn't have any where to run to. Besides, he felt it would mean some thing if he went down protecting the girl. He got up and charged the monster again. He ducked and jumped to dodge the attacks but they were getting closer as the accuracy reducing item was starting to wear off. He then noticed that he had enough sp for one last saber dance but didn't know if it would be enough.

"If I go at least I go fighting" Zero said.

He gave the monster a defiant look before using saber dance. He cursed again as he saw that the damage was to low to kill the monster off and it would still have enough left over to kill him. He closed one eye expecting the attack to come but opened the other when he saw that the last amount of damage done was a critical and removed the last of it's hp. He dropped to his knees as the monster dropped to the floor. He just stared at the monster not noticing that he had gained a few levels for kill the thing.

"Thank you what ever divine power in The World or mine that helped me to kill that bastard" Zero said to him self.

He weakly got up onto his knees and walked over to the girl. Now that he got a better chance to look at her he figured her to be about 13 or so and seemed skinny. If he was like some of the gamer dorks he knew he'd say she was cute. Luckily he wasn't. From what he could tell there was nothing wrong with her but because it was an online game he couldn't tell about the player controlling her, if there was one. As he waited for some sign of movement from her he started back on his earlier thoughts on whether or not she was a pc or an npc. This led him to wondering if she was one of those wandering a.i's he had read about on message boards. If she was that probably meant he'd get in trouble if he was seen with her. He started going over his head on what he should do before he heard some thing. He turned around and saw that the monster had started to fade.

"That thing should have been gone by now. Wonder what it's still doing here" Zero asked him self.

As he looked at the monster he got the same feeling he did before and looked up. Above him was what looked like a staff made of some type of pink crystal. On top of the staff was what looked like a celtic cross (yes, I know in the game it's a Q but in the japanese version it's a celtic cross). He watched as the staff slowly came down and the end pushed into the dead mu guardian. He got worried when the monster stopped fading but it became worse when the staff started sinking into it.

"That's never a good thing" Zero said as he quickly lifted the girl up and onto his shoulder. "We're out of here."

He turned and started running towards the door. As he ran he heard a rumbling sound. He slowed down to a jog to look back and see the monster had gotten back up and was covered in green hexagons. What was worse was the thing had gone up two levels, was at full health and he was out of useful items. Zero turned back to looking forward and started running again. As he ran he saw the entrance to the floor closing. He quickly used his last speed charm and managed to slide under it. He let out a relaxed breath once he heard the door close behind him and headed up the stairs.

"Thank god that's over" Zero said as he started for the floors entrance.

As he walked he heard the sound normally done when the doors open or close in a stone brick type dungeon. He looked back to see the door had opened and the mu guardian was coming through.

"Oh come on" Zero yelled as he started running.

As he ran he didn't notice the girl he was carrying was starting to wake up. He was more focused on the fact that even though he was ahead of the monster the doors were closing with out the the monster being on the field. He started going over what he should do before he realized that he did have a member address of a guy who was willing to help. He quickly started writing up a message and sent as he slid under another door. He smiled when he realized it was the first floor of the dungeon and made a break for the exit. He ran out of the dungeon and stopped in front of the entrance. He looked at it started backing away as his speed charm started wearing off. As he moved back he saw the outline of the mu guardian in the dungeon door.

"Why am I even surprised" Zero asked as he turned and started running.

As he ran he saw the rings of some one warping in.

"Hey man. Whats up? You kinda seemed rushed in your message" the red headed long arm asked.

"Save me, save me, save me" Zero yelled.

"From what" Chalka asked.

"The thing right behind me" Zero yelled as he ran past the long arm.

Chalka looked in the direction the twin blade was running from and yelled before following after him.

"How do you expect me to fight that thing" Chalka asked.

"You're a level 16 and that thing is a 30. Isn't fighting monsters twice the level you are a good thing" Zero asked looking at him.

"True but there are some problems with what you said. For one i'm level 18 now, second, I just came from a dungeon run so I have no items along with the fact I wasn't expecting to see some thing like that here and third, that thing's in the 50's" Chalka said as he caught up with the lower level player.

Zero blinked and looked back and saw that the thing's level had increased more. It also looked like the thing had gotten bigger. This just gave him more reason to run along with the thought that he should be worried that they hadn't tripped off any portals or were attacked by roaming monsters.

"So why is that thing chasing you and who's the girl" Chalka asked.

"No clue who she is and I think it's chasing me because of her" Zero said.

"Well i'm pretty sure that thing is starting to move faster so it'll catch us soon and we can't gate out in battle or on the move. The only way to escape is to leave some one behind to distract it" Chalka said looking back.

"I thank you volunteering your self. I will return with more forces and your death shall not be in vain" Zero said gaining the look of a man praying for the dieing.

"I didn't mean me! I meant the girl" Chalka yelled at him.

"And they say chivalry is dead" Zero said looking at him.

Chalka was about to reply to that comment when the words battle mode scrolled across their screens.

"Oh crap" the two of them said.

Before the two of them could prepare a large fire spell hit them and knocked them down and the girl away from Zero. Zero groaned as he got up and saw his hp had dropped to 1. He looked over to Chalka and figured the same for him as the other player cursed as he got up. He looked at the monster and cursed as he saw that it was some how gaining more levels.

"We're dead aren't we" Zero asked as he looked at the monster.

"Yup" Chalka said.

"At least we'll go down like men" Zero said drawing his rusty nail.

"Yup" Chalka said as he slid his spear off his back.

"Nice knowing ya" Zero said looking over to Chalka.

"Yup" Chalka said with his eyes closed.

The two of them raised there weapons to fight as the monster charged them and brought it's swords down on them.

(End?)

T man: I wish I could draw or animate because I think those last parts near the end would be better if you could see their faces. Well I hope you liked it and if you did sorry for the cliff hanger.
