Yup, after parodying Lord of The Rings and Iliad, this time I decided to do so with The Matrix movie. Won\'t be writing much about it, just enjoy it :] (logo from Karyuu)

Karyuu appeared on one of the Laanx\' Temple\'s balconies. For a while she stood there, staring blankly at the opposite side of the Temple, not breathing or making any move at all. Seconds were passing and sparkles emerging from the center of the temple slowly started cumulating on her dark gray fur. After a minute from her appearance, Karyuu finally blinked and sniffed with her nose.
\"Eugh, what is that awful smell?\" She started sniffing around, soon realising that the sparkling substance was floating in her direction, in the end remaining on her fur. Karyuu moved her arm to the nose and once again sniffed slightly. \"Huh?\" Her eyes widened. \"Oh! Oh, this is just great! Those animals were urinating to the pink, sparkling... thing, again!\" She shivered. \"What\'s wrong with those people anyway?!\"
Suddenly she received a tell from Jazeera. \"Were you just shouting?\"
\"Ehh, yes, I... I saw a spider.\" Karyuu returned the private message.
\"A spider?\"
\"Yes, it was a big... no, giant spider.\" Karyuu tried to get rid of the awful substance from her fur.
\"A giant spider...\" She heard another message. \"In Molecular Blue?\"
\"Oh, be quiet!\" Karyuu moved to the barrier. \"I think he\'s coming.\" She glanced to the left, at the entrance to the temple hall she was standing in. Through the gate rushed exhausted Unitearica, who then quickly passed great hall and disappeared in the next room.
\"We\'re going to pawn him, you understand that?\" Another message came to her mind.
\"Draklar believes he is the one.\" Answered Karyuu.
\"Do you?\"
\"Do I what? Stop being so mysterious, Jazeera! For once ask a normal question!\"
\"No, I mean...\"
\"Shh.\" Karyuu ducked. \"Did you hear that?\"
\"Hear what? Karyuu, just because I\'m sending you private messages, doesn\'t mean I hear everything you hear!\"
\"Are you sure no one else entered the temple?\" She glanced at the opened gate.
\"Yea, of course I\'m sure.\"
\"I better go...\"
Four armed warriors sneaked onto the stairs and quietly started going up. Making sure no one would see them, one after another they approached the open doors. A tall Ynnwn made a sign for the others to move further. They stared at him as he painted a black arrow on the wall, but once he finished, everything was clear. All at once, they rushed throught the door. \"Freeze!\" The Ynnwn shouted. \"Hydlaa\'s plumbing and canalization department! Set your hands in a letharging ruby position! Do it! Do it now!\"
\"Huh?\" Karyuu was in shock.
\"Lordbug!\" Cad, followed by Tmed and Drey, approached a band of armed people standing in front of the temple. \"Lordbug, you were given specific orders.\"
\"I know,\" Answered Lordbug. \"We were supposed to send our best men to get that vandal that keeps urinating to the temple\'s pedestal.\"
\"Huh? Is this the Champions of Yliakum guild?\" Asked Cad.
\"Nooooo... This is the plumbing and canalization department!\"
\"So, like... The Forsaken Ones?\" He kept asking.
\"Hmm...\" Lordbug pondered over the question for a while. \"Nope, just plumbing and canalization department.\"
\"Ok, so where are the champions then?\"
\"Over there.\" He pointed to a smaller group standing nearby.
\"Ah, thanks.\" Cad went in their direction. \"Vanderbal!\" He stopped just before him. \"Vanderbal, you were given specific orders..\"
\"I know, we also followed them.\" Answered Vanderbal.
\"Oh...\"
\"Letharging ruby position?\" A small dwarf glanced at the Ynnwn leader.
\"Yea, they teached us that on one of the combat trainings.\" The Ynnwn answered without taking his eyesight away from Karyuu.
\"Don\'t you mean the letharging diamond position?\" The dwarf continued.
\"Hmm... Could be.\" The leader looked down.
\"Yeah, it must be!\" Some Enkidukai joined the conversation. \"I mean, did you ever see a letharging ruby?\"
Karyuu stood there without moving, trying to ignore the conversation. Suddenly something touched her back. Somewhat shocked, she glanced back. The Ynnwn was poking her back with his longsword, seemingly uncertain of what to do. \"So... How do we fight it?\" He spoken. Karyuu twitched and drawn a pencil, aiming it then at the large Ynnwn. \"What are you going to do with it?\" He laughed. \"Draw whiskers on my face?\" Karyuu only grinned.
\"Argh!\" The Ynnwn started running all around the balcony. \"Get\'it out of me ear! Get\'it out of me ear!\" He kept shouting while trying to pull out the pencil.
\"Over here, boss!\" The dwarf yelled. In same moment the Ynnwn turned in the direction of the Stonebreaker. The dwarf with fear watched the impending warrior. \"Slow dow-- Ugh!\" The Ynnwn tripped over the dwarf and both warriors fell over the barrier. The ramaining Enkidukai and Ylian rushed to the barrier and looked down. \"We\'re all right!\" They heard. \"Fall damage not implemented yet. But I don\'t think we\'ll be able to pull out that pencil now...\"
\"Hey,\" The two remaining warriors heard the voice from behind their backs. They turned around, just to see Karyuu, grinning widely and holding her hands up, aiming the palms at the two warriors.
\"Lol, no collision detection here, noob.\" The Ylian spoke to the female Enkidukai.
\"Oh really?\" She pushed the two warriors, who then tripped over the barrier and fell all the way down. \"Draklar, someone... Uhm... Wee-weed at the sparkling thing.\" She sent a private message.
\"Thank thee, I want\'d to know that...\" She heard in return.
\"No,\" She sighed. \"I mean it brought here the canalization department.\"
\"Oh, I know, Thou hast not much time. Thou shalt have to get to some secret log-out place.\"
\"Are there any Game Masters?\" Karyuu glanced down over the barrier.
\"Aye.\"
\"Damn it\"
\"Thou hast to focus, Karyuu. There be an invisible room in the tavern. Hurry up, thou can\'st make it.\"
\"All right.\"
\"Go. And may the great Odin be with thee.\"
Karyuu started walking towards the stairs down, but soon after, from the doors emerged a band of characters, with Tmed on their lead. Not waiting even one second, she turned around and rushed towards the wall. Tmed wasn\'t going to let her escape. Immediately, he started chasing her, taking all the characters with him. Upon reaching the wall, Karyuu started strafing into it, finally disappearing behind. The Kran Game Master glanced at the wall and then turned to the right. Just then he noticed the Enkidukai emerging from the ceiling above the other balcony. Without saying anything, he started typing a command. \"That\'s impossible...\" Said one of the characters upon seeing Karyuu\'s achievement. Suddenly Tmed teleported to the other side of the temple, but still the Enkidukai managed to jump down just in time. She turned to the exit. Now she had to run as fast as possible.
The Enkidukai rushed by the fire torches and quickly got onto the main street. Taking the first left, soon after the view of Kada-El\'s tavern reached her eyes. But she wasn\'t safe yet. To the left from the tavern stood cad, now ready to ban her. Karyuu wasn\'t going to wait for that, she rushed into the tavern and took the stairs up. Cad was right behind her and it was a matter of seconds before he would get her. She turned to the kitchen and quickly disappeared in the ceiling.
Cad, Tmed and Drey gathered in the kitchen.
\"She escaped...\" Said Drey while entering the room.
\"Doesn\'t matter.\" Answered Cad.
\"The informant is real.\" Tmed entered just after Drey.
\"Yes...\" Cad nodded.
\"We have the name of their next target.\" The Kran continued.
\"The name is Uni\'o.\" Added Drey.
\"We\'ll need a search running.\" Cad took a look around the kitchen.
\"It has already begun...\"
Unitearica returned from his afk phase. To his surprise in front of him lied various crystals, which created some words. He checked the phrase made of rubies: \'Wake up, Uni\'o...\'. \"What?\" He whispered and checked the words made of emeralds: \'The Planetrix has you...\' \"What in the Death Realm?\" He still could not understand what was happening. The phrase made of diamonds was saying \'Follow the bearded woman.\' Then he checked the last phrase, made out of all three types of crystals. \'Greetings, Uni\'o\'.
Suddenly Auran greeted the confused Ylian. Unitearica looked around and greeted him back. After doing so, he glanced back to the crystals, but those were already being picked up by a big group of newbies. He turned back to Auran. Together with him there were standing Xordan, Savion and Illyria.
\"Uni\'o, my champ. Do you have the Zim\'s catnip I asked you for? Nothing quite like it anywhere else. And here my dear buddy sells two doses for the price of one! Where would uncle Jimmy be without you!\"
\"Auran, I don\'t sell two for the price of one - You know it well.\" Answered Unitearica. \"And you asked for diamonds, not the catnip.\"
\"Ah diamonds, the rapture of Krans. What would uncle Jimmy need it for? Come on sonny, give your dear uncle what he really asked you for. I remember it quite well that I asked for some catnip. Two doses actually, no - even three. But don\'t worry, good ol\' Auran won\'t be that upset if he gets just the one dose. Know my good heart. So what will you say? Come here and give your uncle Jimmy a big, toasty hug!\"
\"Fine, I\'ll bring the catnip. Just stay away with the hugs.\"
\"Ah, you don\'t know what you\'re missing, sonny. You could come with us to the tavern party and your dear uncle Jimmy would be sure to show you what wonders a big bear-hug can really do. Oh, I could be telling you the tales about all the hugging I did in my whole life, heh heh, if you know what I mean.\" He winked \"Hugging here, hugging there, hugging women everywhere. You could learn a lot from this old gaffer. If you don\'t believe me, just ask my delightful companion here. Oh, i could hug Illy anytime. She might have a beard, but hey, uncle Jimmy isn\'t picky.\"
\"Bearded woman?\" Unitearica whispered and glanced back to the place where he found all the crystals. \"Sure... I\'ll go.\"
Everyone in the tavern had a great time. Even though no one was sitting behind the bar, still all the people had their mugs filled with ale. Unitearica was standing by some wall, listening to the conversations. Suddenly a female Enkidukai approached him.
\"Greetings, Uni\'o.\" She spoke.
\"How do you know that name?\" Answered Unitearica.
\"I know a lot about you.\"
\"What, were you stalking me or something?\" Unitearica cocked an eyebrow.
\"What?! No!\" The Enkidukai energetically shook her head.
\"Because, you know, if you did, that would be pretty darn sick...\"
\"No, it isn\'t!\" She blinked. \"I mean, I really didn\'t stalk you!\"
\"So anyway, who are you?\"
\"My name is Karyuu.\" She bowed.
\"Karyuu...\" Unitearica repeated. \"The Karyuu? The one that climbed the skydome?\"
\"That was a long time ago...\" The Enkidukai shrugged.
\"Geez...\"
\"What?\"
\"I just didn\'t know that...\" Unitearica glanced to his side. \"That you\'re yet another of all those fenkies.\"
\"Most people are...\"
\"It was you who made all those crystal writings.\" He looked at her again. \"How did you do that?\"
\"Right now all I can tell you is that you\'re in danger.\" Karyuu started talking quieter. \"I brought you here to warn you.\"
\"Of what?\"
\"They\'re watching you, Uni\'o.\"
\"Other people besides you?\" Unitearica cocked an eyebrow.
\"Pay attention!\" She shouted. \"I already told you that I wasn\'t watching you!\" Everyone in the tavern turned to them.
\"Uhuh...\"
\"Gah! Just listen. I know why you\'re here, Uni\'o. I know what you\'ve been doing. I know why you hardly afk, why you crystal-hunt alone, and why night after night you keep exploring Hydlaa.\"
\"Wait.\" Unitearica interrupted her.
\"What?!\"
\"You told me that you weren\'t stalking me.\"
\"Be quiet!\" She shouted again. \"You\'re looking for him. I know, because I am smart like that. But the truth is... You\'re not looking for him, but for the answer. It\'s the question that drives you mad. It\'s the question that brought you here. You know the question just as I do.\"
\"Who is the guy you\'re talking about?\"
\"No! That\'s not the fricking question!\" Karyuu got seemingly annoyed. \"The question is what is the Planetrix! And the answer is out there, Uni\'o. It might be looking for you and it might find you... If it\'ll want to bother! Good-bye!\" The annoyed Enkidukai stormed out of the tavern.
\"What?\"
-
hah! Genious!

Words fail me, Draklar XD
Hilarious to an extreme. You rocketh :D
*edit* My favorite lines, definitely:
\"Huh? Is this the Champions of Yliakum guild?\" Asked Cad.
\"Nooooo... This is the plumbing and canalization department!\"
\"So, like... The Forsaken Ones?\" He kept asking.

Yaaaaaay! the Draklar is doing another parody... ah, the memories since when I read the lord of the spam... so much pain from laughing too hard...
*steals the title back from UTM and gives it back to Drak in a very opportunistic way*

I get to be a plumbing dude! :D

Chapter II
\"You have a problem with authority, Mr. Unitearica.\" Spoke Nilaya. \"You believe that you are special, that somehow the rules do not apply to you.\"
\"Hmm...\"
\"Yes, what is it, Uni?\" Nilaya stopped for a while.
\"It brings my interest as to why you\'re saying all this and most of all, why in such a strange manner.\" Answered Unitearica.
\"I\'m sorry Uni,\" Nilaya sighed. \"It\'s those new guild rules. From this day forth, guild won\'t be official if its members aren\'t spending half of their time in the guild areas marked with orange and blue colours. It is also important to not mistake it with the areas marked with green and red. On those areas members must remain as shortly as possible. If a situation of those colours mixing emerges, one has to freeze in one place and wait for one of the following situations: Everything turning black, appearance of rain, passing of a female stonebreak--\"
\"Wait, I don\'t understand anything out of it.\"
\"Hmm... yeah...\" Nilaya winced. \"I think it has to do with this bug which caused terrain to catch odd colours... They probably couldn\'t fix it, so they turned it into an official feature.\"
\"That would be third time something like that happens in this month.\"
\"Yeah...\" Nilaya sighed. \"Anyway, they gave me this speech that I am supposed to use now.\"
\"Hmm... Can I see it?\" Unitearica glanced at the piece of paper.
\"Sure.\" The Enkidukai smiled.
\"You have a problem with auth...\" Unitearica winced. \"You really have to read all that?\"
\"Yes.\" She sighed.
\"Well then I won\'t be prelonging it. Carry on, please.\" Unitearica smiled.
\"Thanks! You\'re the best, Uni!\" Nilaya smiled. \"Now where was I... Ah yes: This guild is one of the top role-playing guilds in Yliakum, because every single member understands they are part of a whole. Thus if a member has a problem, the guild has a problem. The time...\" Nilaya stopped for a while, not being able to read what was written next. \"Someone stained this part... I can\'t read it.\"
\"Let me see it.\" Unitearica glanced at the paper. \"Hmm... The time has come to make a choice, Mr. Unitearica. Either you choose to be--\"
\"Ok, thanks Uni, I should be able to read from that point.\"
\"Always glad to help.\"
\"So, either you choose to be at the guild areas half of the time from this day forward, or you choose to find yourself another guild. Do I make myself clear?\" Nilaya sighed with relief.
\"Sure, Nil, perfectly clear.\" He smiled.
\"Glad to hear it.\" Nilaya grinned. \"So... We\'ll see each other later by the tavern?\"
\"Yeah, why not.\"
\"Ok, see you later, Uni, you rock!\"
\"Hehe, see you, Nil.\"
As Nilaya rushed somewhere, Unitearica took a look around. Laanx dungeons were always very mysterious and Unitearica spent lots of time there, wandering in search for the secrets. Most notably - how to get into those small tunnels.
\"Hey,\" Suddenly someone interrupted his thoughts. Unitearica turned around. It was some Enkidukai. \"Delivery for you.\" He handed him a package.
\"For me?\" Unitearica was still slightly confused.
\"Yes, please sign here.\" The Enkidukai waited patiently for Unitearica to sign it. \"Ok, thanks.\" Said that, the Enkidukai rushed away, leaving a big cloud of dust behind.
Unitearica opened the package and took an item from the inside. \"A plush sword?\"
\"Ok, the package delivered, I have his signature.\" Demarthl sent a private message to Draklar. \"It\'s spelled \"U-N-I-T-E-A-R-I-C-A.\"
\"Good, want\'d not to misspell it. We cannot let random people know o\' our mission... -again-\"
\"Oh geez, once I made a small mistake and you must keep reminding of it.\"
\"Typing shout instead of tell when dealing with a secret information, be\'th not a small mistake in my dictionary.\"
\"I thought you had something to do?\" Demarthl slided into the invisible room. \"I\'m logging out.\"
\"Hail, Uni\'o.\" Suddenly Unitearica received a private message. \"Dost thou know who this be\'th?\"
\"Judging by speech... Draklar?\"
\"Aye. I have been looking for thee, Uni\'o. I kn--\"
\"Wait.\" Unitearica interrupted him. \"What\'s with all you people stalking me out of a sudden?\"
\"We suspect thee o\' urinating the temple\'s podestal.\"
\"What?\"
\"Well, no, but if thou shan\'t list to me, we can always contact the right department. And believe me, its leader shan\'t be asking the questions first.\"
\"Fine, carry on with it.\" Unitearica was getting pretty nervous.
\"As I was saying, I know not if thou be\'st ready to see what I want to show thee, but unfortunately Thou and I have run out o\' time. They be coming for thee, Uni\'o, and I know not what they be going to do.\"
\"Who\'s coming for me?\" Asked Unitearica.
\"Peek in behind the corner and see for thyself.\"
\"What, right now?\"
\"Aye, now. Do it slowly. The stairs down.\"
Unitearica did as said Draklar and there he noticed three Game Masters going up the stairs. \"Crap!\" He quickly stepped away from the corner.
\"Aye.\"
\"What in the death realm do they want from me?\"
\"I know not, but if thou want\'st not to find out, I suggest thee to get out of there.\"
\"How?\"
\"I can guide thee, but thou must do exactly as I speak.\"
\"Why do I feel as if you\'re getting me into bigger trouble than what those people prepared for me?\"
\"Wherefore do I feel like talking with someone about urine?\"
\"I have no idea and I would rather not find out...\" Unitearica shivered.
\"Just... go.\"
\"Ok.\" He nodded.
\"Take the stairs up and go through the corridor until thou meet\'st an intersection.\" Unitearica started doing as he heard. \"Then go further that road, there shall be a hanging platform.\"
\"Ok, I see it... But how do you know all this?\"
\"We have not time, Uni\'o. Thou must climb the ropes and through the hole get to the temple.\"
\"You must be joking...\"
\"Well, I can not do it myself, but I thought since thou be\'st the one and all, behaps thou could do it... or something.\"
\"Right...\" Unitearica sighed.
\"Well, all right, my bad. Instead, go back and take the turn to the left. There be\'th much easier exit there.\" When Unitearica turned around, there was no longer way to escape. Three Game Masters were approaching him and it was too late to do anything. \"Uni\'o? Uni\'o?!\" Draklar kept sending the messages.
The Game Masters took Unitearica all the way up to the roof of windowless tower and pushed to the center of it. Cad then took few pieces of paper and started checking their content. Unitearica glanced at the writing and soon winced, seeing the logs of his illegal trades.
\"As you can see,\" Cad started. \"We\'ve had our eye on you for some time now, Mr. Unitearica.\"
\"More stalkers...\" He muttered under his breath \"Yeah, let me guess: You suspect me of urinating the damn pedestal.\"
\"Not quite. It seems that you\'ve been living two lives. In one life, you\'re Unitearica, respected Explorers Guild member, you have nice collection of crystals, you pay monthly game fee,\"
\"It\'s free.\" Drey interrupted.
\"Which doesn\'t change the fact that he pays it.\" Cad continued. \"You also help the lost travellers in getting wherever they want. The other life is lived in the bugs. As an adventurer alias Uni\'o, you try to fool the system and are guilty of virtually every game crime we have a law for. One of these lives has future, and one of them does not. I\'m going to be as forthcoming as I can be, Mr. Unitearica. You\'re here because we need your help. We know that you\'ve been contacted by a certain individual, an elf who calls himself Draklar. Now whatever you think you know about this fairy is irrelevant. He is considered by many people as insane, weirdo, and -not- a viking. My colleagues believe that I am wasting my time with you but--\"
\"What?\" Drey again interrupted him. \"I wasn\'t consulted in this case. I demand a normal meeting!\"
\"Could you please stop interrupting me? We need some diplomacy here. Right, like I was about to say, I believe that you wish to do the right thing. We\'re willing to wipe the logs clean, give you a fresh start and all that we\'re asking in return is your cooperation in bringing a known lunatic to justice.\"
\"Yeah, wow, that sounds like a really good deal. But I think I got better one. How about I give you...\" He started searching for something in his backpack, finally pulling out a plush sword. \"The stinger... And you let me write a petition.\"
\"Um, Mr. Unitearica. You disappoint me.\"
\"No, really, this sword is pretty damn valuable. Not many around here like that. Just let me write a petition and it\'s yours.\"
\"Hmm... And do you have one in green colour?\" Just after Cad asked that, Tmed coughed. \"Oh, right, tell me, Mr. Unitearica, what good is a petition if you\'re unable to speak?\"
Unitearica tried to say something, but he couldn\'t. Cad already used the mute command.
\"You\'re going to help us, Mr. Unitearica, whether you want to or not... And I am taking the sword.\"
Tmed approached Unitearica and by using some command caused him to get dizzy. Soon after Unitearica lost his consciousness.

Never ceases to make me laugh :D

Technically, getting into invisible room didn\'t require sliding through walls :o

\"Judging by speech... Draklar?\"
that is so true.
and draklar, well done its great. do you sit watching the film as you right it?
one final thing, is it just me or does tmed seem a bit out of place... (maybe this is just more of a GM thing)

Chapter III
Unitearica woke up, but still all around there was a pitch blackness. He could not see anything for a while, but finally the blackness started fading and he could see the first details. He was on Hydlaa plaza, definitely.
\"They be logging our conversations,\" He suddenly received a private message from Draklar. \"So I must be brief. They got to thee first, but they have underestimated how important thou art. If they knew what I know, thou would\'st probably be banned\"
\"What are you talking about?\" He responded. \"What... what is happening to me?\"
\"Thou art the one, Uni\'o. Thou see\'st, thou may have spent the last few years looking for me, but I have spent my entire Planeshift career looking for thee. Now, dost thou still want\'st to meet?\"
\"Ok, first of all, I have not been looking for you; Second - entire Planeshift career? Wow, you just have to be my biggest stalker!\"
\"...\" He heard in a tell. \"So thou want\'st to meet?\"
\"And you aren\'t going to do any kinky stuff on me?\"
\"Just... no.\"
\"Then yes.\" Unitearica nodded.
\"Then go under the main street\'s bridge.\"
It was raining at the time. Despise the lag caused by it, Unitearica went where he was told to go. Suddenly he noticed few people approaching him from the direction of windowless tower. It was Karyuu, Kixie and Arianna.
\"Come with us.\" Said Karyuu and turned to one of the back alleys.
Without thinking much, Unitearica did as she said. Soon they stopped and Arianna started observing him closely. \"What in the death realm is this?\" He finally spoken.
\"It\'s necessary, Uni\'o. For our protection.\" Answered Karyuu.
\"From what?\"
\"From you.\" Karyuu continued \"Did you look into mirror any time lately?\"
\"There\'s no reflections in Planeshift...\" Unitearica shrugged.
\"True...\"
Arianna kept poking Unitearica. \"Is it necessary?\" He finally asked.
\"Yes.\" She answered. \"It has to be done.\"
\"You people are creeping me out more and more. I\'m going.\" Said that, Unitearica turned to the exit of the alley.
\"I\'m not charming today...\" Arianna sighed.
\"Please, Uni\'o. You have to trust me.\" Karyuu approached him.
\"Why?\"
\"Because you have been there, Uni\'o. You know that horrible lag-rain of doom. You know exactly what it leads to. And I know that\'s not what you want...\"
\"I prefer the lag over the people that stalk me all my life.\" Unitearica turned away once again.
\"Come back here, or I\'ll stick that pencil up your ass!\"
Unitearica turned around just to see Karyuu with her teeth clenched, holding a pencil as if she was about to attack with it. \"Ghh... Fine, I\'ll stay.\" The view of a twitching Enkidukai wasn\'t exactly making him feel safe. \"So what are you going to do?\"
\"We think you\'re bugged... You have a texture of a Kran.\" Answered Arianna. \"Try and relax.\" Said that, she started an attempt to remove the bug.
\"Hmm... That is weird...\" Karyuu blinked seeing the evolution of the bug.
\"What? What is weird?\" Unitearica was getting more and more nervous.
\"The texture...\" Answered Arianna. \"I think it\'s changing to a diamond one.\"
\"What?\" Unitearica\'s eyes widened. \"Oh, this is just great...\"
\"Patience,\" Arianna looked closer into it. \"I think I got it... almost there...\"
\"Holy crap!\" Karyuu jumped backwards. \"What is that thing?!\" She pointed at a part of Unitearica\'s body.
\"I don\'t know\" Arianna winced. \"I think me removing the texture bug, caused a different one to appear.\"
\"Why me...\" Unitearica sighed.
\"Aaaand there. The texture bug fixed.\" Arianna smiled.
\"Great.\" Karyuu nodded. \"We can go to the tavern.\"
\"This is it.\" Said Karyuu once she stopped before the tavern. \"Let me give you one piece of advice. Be honest. He knows more than you can imagine.\"
\"That\'s what I imagine...\" Said that, Unitearica entered the tavern. To the right he noticed a male Enkidukai sitting by the fireplace. He approached him. \"Draklar?\"
\"Aye.\" The Enkidukai turned to him. \"Welcome, Uni\'o.\"
\"Could you people please cease stalking me? It\'s getting pretty scary.\"
\"Nay, Uni\'o. Thou art too important to be left all alone. Please, come, sit by the fire. I imagine that right now, thou art feeling a bit like Grendol\'s feces,\"
\"What?\" Unitearica cocked an eyebrow.
\"Lying around,\" Draklar continued. \"Waiting and wondering who shall step onto thy face next? Hm?\"
\"Ok, that, certainly isn\'t how I feel right now.\"
\"I can see it in thine eyes.\"
\"My eyes are just a texture...\"
\"Thou hast the look,\" Draklar continued, as if he didn\'t hear Unitearica\'s comment. \"O\' a poop, that accepts what steps onto him, because \'tis expecting to respawn. Ironically, this be not far from the truth. Dost thou believe in Odin, Uni\'o?\"
\"No.\"
\"Wherefore not?\" Draklar kept asking.
\"Because I don\'t. Why would I believe in him anyway?\"
\"Oh, I was just checking. Since, thou see\'st, I be gathering an army of vikings and thought thou might...\"
\"Ok...\" Unitearica cocked an eyebrow.
\"Hmm... So art thou sure, thou dost not believe in him?\" Draklar winced.
\"Absolutely sure.\" The Ylian nodded.
\"Fine.\" The Enkidukai sighed. \"Let me then tell thee wherefore thou be\'st here. Thou art here, because thou know\'st something. What thou know\'st, thou cannot explain. But thou feel\'st it. Thou hast felt it thine entire life. That there be something wrong with the realm.\"
\"Yeah, lots of people stalking me.\" Unitearica interrupted him.
\"Thou know\'st not what it be, but \'tis there,\" Draklar continued without listening to him. \"Like a splinter in thy mind driving thee mad.\"
\"Like Karyuu\'s pencil?\"
\"\'Tis this feeling that hath brought thee to me.\"
\"Definitely Karyuu\'s pencil...\"
\"Dost thou know what I be talking about?\" Draklar tilted his head.
Unitearica remembering Karyuu\'s reaction in the tavern, tried to avoid similar thing with Draklar. \"The... Planetrix?\"
\"Dost thou want to know what it is?\"
\"I guess...\" Unitearica shrugged.
\"The Planetrix be\'th everywhere.\" Draklar continued. \"\'Tis all around us, e\'en now in this very room. Thou can see it when thou look\'st out thy window,\"
\"There\'s no transparency here...\"
\"Then when thou watch\'st this fireplace. Thou can feel it, when thou crystal hunt, when thou go to Laanx\' Temple, when thou greet other people. \'Tis the world that hath been pull\'d over thine eyes to blind thee from the truth.\"
\"What truth?\"
\"That thou art a slave, Uni\'o. Like e\'eryone else thou wert caught into bondage, insert\'d into a prison that thou cannot smell, or taste, or touch. A prison for thy mind... Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Planetrix be\'th. Otherwise he would not want to join the quest.\"
\"Lovely...\" Unitearica sighed.
\"Thou hast to see it for thyself. This be thy last chance. After this there be no turning back.\" Draklar put a ruby and a diamond on a table. \"Thou tak\'st the ruby, the quest end\'th, thou log\'st on the plaza and believe whatever thou want to believe. Thou tak\'st the diamond, thou cease to be the Grendol\'s feces, and I show thee what thou shalt respawn as...\"
\"So if I take the ruby, I won\'t see you guys anymore?\" Unitearica reached for the ruby.
\"Go ahead and try swallowing it.\" Draklar smirked.
\"What? I\'m supposed to swallow it?\" Unitearica sighed. \"Seems I don\'t have a choice.\" He took the diamond.
\"Aye. But remember, all I be offering be the truth, nothing more... No prizes, tavern parties and neat guild ranks...\"
Unitearica swallowed the diamond.
\"Follow me...\" Said that, Draklar went up the stairs and into the kitchen. Unwillingly, Unitearica went after him. \"Kixie, be we online?\" Said the Enkidukai once he entered the tavern.
\"Duh?\" Kixie rolled her eyes.
\"Time be always against us. Please, take a seat there.\" Draklar pointed to the wall of the kitchen. \"Worry not, the diamond thou swallow\'d hath no effects at all. The ruby thing is us\'d just so that no one refus\'th to come with us.\"
\"And what if I decided to go away now?\" Asked Unitearica.
\"We have Karyuu.\" He heard in response.
\"Right...\"
\"We shall hack into thine account and change thy pos.\" Draklar continued. \"Thou hast to stay in a safe log-out area. Later thine account shall be register\'d and the migration shall begin.\"
\"What does that mean?\"
\"It means buckle your fur coat, sweety-pie.\" Said Jazeera. \"Because diamonds are going bye-bye.\"
\"What does -that- mean?!\" Unitearica glanced at the wall. Suddenly he noticed that the wall lost part of its texture. It looked somewhat like a chessboard. After a while the texture returned. He glanced at others \"Did you...?\" He touched the wall and suddenly his own texture started disappearing. First from his hand, but soon it started removing it from the rest of his body.
\"Did thou e\'er play\'st a mmorpg, Uni\'o, that thou wert so sure was real. What if thou wert unable to disconnect from that game. How would thou know\'st the difference between the game and the real world?\"
\"I don\'t know, what does that have to do with anything? What is happening to me?\"
\"Just asking, was reading about the mmorpg addictions lately...\"
\"We\'re having some complications!\" Shouted Karyuu.
\"It must be that bug...\" Sighed Arianna.
\"Kwartz,\" Draklar sent a private message. \"We shall need to have the migration button push\'d soon.\"
\"Pos targeting almost there...\" Said Jazeera.
\"He\'ll get linkdead!\" Added Karyuu.
\"Ok, got it!\" Uttered Jazeera.
\"Now, Kwartz, Now!\"
\"Uhh... Which\'one wus it again?\" Draklar heard in response.
\"Push all the buttons, Kwartz!\"
Unitearica lost everything out of his view. Soon after countless numbers appeared out of nowhere and his whole childhood rushed before his eyes. He woke up on one of Hydlaa\'s city. \"Was it just a dream? He spoken. Suddenly something bit him. He turned around, the beast that just attacked him was Trepor. Before he could do anything, he lost all the rest of his hit points and died. Blackness covered everything and then he woke up in some unknown place. A Dermorian appeared before his eyes.
\"Welcome to the real game.\" Spoke Draklar.
-
soooo cool.

Chapter IV
\"We have done it, Karyuu. We have found him.\"
\"I hope you\'re right.\"
\"I have to hope not. I know it.\"
\"Am I in the Death Realm?\" Unitearica woke up.
\"Pretty much, aye.\" Answered Draklar.
\"He still needs a lot of progression points.\" Said Tranor.
\"What are you doing?\" Asked Unitearica once he woke up again.
\"Thy skills have suffer\'d the great wipe, We be rebuilding them.\" Answered Draklar.
\"Why do my eyes hurt?\"
\"Oh... \'Twas an unlucky accident. We drop\'d thee on thy face, nothing serious.\"
\"Wait, weren\'t you an Enkidukai?\"
\"I use many characters in the Planetrix... Mak\'th it hard to find me this way. Rest, Uni\'o. The answers be coming.\"
Unitearica was sitting on one of the Death Realm\'s bridges and trying to get used to the strange view. Suddenly he noticed Draklar approaching him. \"Draklar, what\'s happened to me? What is this place?\"
\"More important than what be\'th when.\" The Dermorian answered.
\"When?\"
\"Thou believ\'th \'tis the year 1799 MB, when in fact \'tis closer to 130 CB. I cannot tell thee exactly what year it be\'th, because the devs hath not made an in-game calendar. There be\'th nothing I can say that shall explain it for thee, Uni\'o. Follow me. See for thyself.\" Said that, Draklar started walking away. Unitearica soon went after him. \"This be\'th the Death Realm, our operating center. From \'ere we generate the alter\'d clients and hack into the Planetrix. Most of my group thou already know\'st. This be Kixie, Ary, and Jazeera.\"
\"Hey.\" The last one said.
\"The ones thou dost know not, Kwartz and his little leg, Tranor,\" Unitearica glanced at the small dwarf holding a legless kran.
\"j0\" Said the Kran.
\"The weird one behind thee be\'th Demarthl. Thou want\'d to know what the Matrix be\'th, Uni\'o?\" Unitearica nodded. \"Karyuu...\" Draklar nodded to the Enkidukai. \"Try to relax. This shall feel a little weird.\"
Suddenly Unitearica noticed a loading screen and soon all around him there was just white space.
\"This be\'th the construct.\" Said Draklar. \"\'Tis our loading program. We can load anything from textures, to mugs, weapons, duel arenas, anything we need.\"
\"Duel arenas?\" Unitearica was in a slight shock. \"They implemented fighting?\"
\"Be it really so hard to believe? Thine sorry arse got kick\'d by a Trepor. We drop\'d thee on thy face and thou receiv\'d damage. We have the Death Realm.\"
\"This... this isn\'t Planeshift?\"
\"What be\'th Planeshift? How dost thou define Planeshift? If thou art talking about walking around, chatting with people, greeting them and admiring the graphics, then Planeshift be\'th simply a 3D chatting program.\" Draklar stopped for a while. \"This be\'th the Planeshift thou know\'st.\" Suddenly the space turned into Hydlaa. Unitearica could see crystal hunters running around in search for crystals, people throwing tavern parties and gathering in the temple. \"The Planeshift as \'twas at the end of the Molecular Blue version. It exists now only as a part of a semi-interactive game that we call the Planetrix. Thou hast been living in a fake game, Uni\'o. This be\'th the Planeshift as it exists today...\" Suddenly the Hydlaa changed. Unitearica could see lots of monsters spawning on the streets, many community trolls running around, or just camping the spawn points, always holding weapons with strange names. Every few seconds someone was dying in a short duel. \"Welcome to the Desert of Hack&Slash... We have only bits of information, but what we know for certain be\'th that at some point in the late Crystal Blue version, all the players were unit\'d in celebration. We had lots o\' role-playing features, the world hath been growing as fast as ne\'er before, we could e\'en duck. Planeshift was about to join the golden age... The age o\' STEEL Blue.\"
\"Steel Blue? That was the next phase?\"
\"The ultimate role-playing environment. We know not exactly what led to it, but just then the devs announc\'d that from now on all the players had to pay monthly fee. They always say\'d that Planeshift would remain free, but in reality... The ammount of art already implement\'d was so huge, that no one want\'d to do all of it again, from scratch. So players were rebelling. Many hacking attempts at the database were made, sadly, with lousy results. \'Tis believ\'d that at some point one o\' the devs join\'d the rebellion and remov\'d vast number o\' features. As a result, Crystal Blue return\'d to its early phase. From our researches, we assume that the say\'d dev was Xordan. Either way, after the damage on Planeshift was made, we though that the devs would have no reason to carry on with the fee idea. But instead, the dev team decid\'d to get rid o\' the rebelious players, including Xordan himself. They alter\'d the old Molecular Blue version and sent there all the players that could cause trouble. Keeping them away from the truth. Players sent there believe that what they play is free, but in reality... They pay as if they were playing Crystal Blue. What is the Planetrix? Control. The Planetrix is a computer generat\'d game world built to keep us under control in order to change a player being... Into this.\" Draklar showed him a small coin.
\"No. I don\'t believe it.\" Unitearica shook his head. \"It\'s not possible. They wouldn\'t do that!\"
\"I say\'d not \'twould be easy, Uni\'o. I just say\'d \'twould be the truth.\"
\"Stop. Let me out. Let me out. I want out!\"
\"Easy, Uni\'o. Easy.\" Said Karyuu as Unitearica returned to the Death Realm.
\"Get this screen away from me! Take this screen...\"
\"List to me...\" Draklar tried to get him to calm down.
\"Don\'t touch me. Stay away from me. I don\'t want it. I don\'t believe it. I don\'t believe it.\"
\"He\'s gonna fly.\" Said Jazeera.
\'You failed horribly to fly and injured yourself badly\' received Unitearica upon using the fly function. But he tried again... This time he died.
\"I can\'t go back, can I?\" Unitearica asked Draklar once he respawned.
\"Nay. But if thou could, would thou really want to?\" Unitearica only looked down. \"I feel I owe thee an apology.\"
\"Right, you shouldn\'t force me to swallow that diamond.\"
\"But I shan\'t.\" Draklar continued. \"In fact I also feel that what I did was the right thing to do and if something shall go wrong, most likely \'twill be thy fault and not mine.\"
\"What?\" Unitearica blinked.
\"We have a rule. Intelligence shall be measur\'d by the fact of agreeing with Draklar. So if thou disagree with something... Keep it for thyself. In this case I also thought \'twas the right moment to make a move. I did what I did because... I want\'d to. When the Planetrix was first built, there was a woman caught inside who had the ability to change whate\'er she want\'d, to remake the Planetrix as she saw fit. Her name was Havena. It was she who free\'d the first o\' us, taught us the truth. As long as the Planetrix exists, the players will ne\'er be fee-free. After she glitched to the top o\' the skydome and head\'d for the surface, the Oracle prophesy\'d that there shall be her successor and that his coming would hail the destruction o\' the Planetrix and the fee, bring freedom to our people. That is wherefore there be those o\' us who have spent our entire Planeshift careers searching the Planetrix looking for him. I did what I did because I believe that I should be the one to finish the search... And e\'en if thou art not the one... I shall force thee to be him. Now get some rest, thou shalt need it.\"
\"For what?\"
\"Thy training.\"

Chapter V
\"Hey, did you hunt?\" Kixie asked Unitearica, who then shook his head. \"You will today, I guarantee it. Anyway, I\'m Kixie. Want to join my circle of love?\"
\"Huh? Circle of love? What do you mean?\" Unitearica glanced at the Enkidukai.
\"Yes, a circle of mutual adorement. Draklar\'s already in it.\"
\"I don\'t think I wa--\"
\"It\'s completely free to join and there are so many advantages to it...\" Kixie interrupted him.
\"Like what?\" Unitearica cocked an eyebrow.
\"Like... cookies. We bake cookies for the new members.\"
\"Cookies?\"
\"Yes, you like cookies, don\'t you?\" Kixie titled her head.
\"Well, I...\"
\"What!\" The Enkidukai\'s eyes widened. \"Don\'t tell me you don\'t like cookies! That\'s madness! I\'m afraid we can\'t accept you if you don\'t like cookies.\"
\"That\'s all r--\"
\"Unless you like pie.\" Kixie interrupted him once again.
\"Erm... No, I don\'t.\" Unitearica quickly shook his head. \"So, how did you get here?\"
\"Well, I was one of the first players that Vengeance sent to the Planetrix. I think the bum doesn\'t like me. And it\'s not like he has any reason for it... I should have sent him that dog turd for his birthday...\" Kixie winced. \"Anyway, because I got sent there so quickly, Draklar thought that I\'m a real danger for the dev team. That I\'m the one.\"
\"And were you? The danger, I mean.\" Unitearica interrupted the Enkidukai.
\"Nope, just annoyance.\"
\"Doesn\'t it get dull to sit in the Death Realm all the time?\" Unitearica took a look around.
\"Maybe, but we Enkidukais respawn in Ojaveda whenever we leave the Death Realm.\"
\"Ojaveda?\"
\"If the monthly fee was over tomorrow, Ojaveda\'s Broken Doors\' Tavern is where the party would be.\"
\"It\'s a city?\"
\"The Enkidukai city. The only place where role-players can be still found.\"
\"Where is it?\"
\"You will need to find the Hydlaa gate and explore far, far from the city of Hydlaa to find Ojaveda.\" Kixie shook her head. \"You should read the FAQ.\"
\"\'Tis time for thy training, Uni\'o.\" Draklar approached them.
\"Now, we should start with showing thee the FAQ, Crystal Blue manual and things like that, but \'tis all boring.\" Draklar spoke to Unitearica as they got to quieter part of the Death Realm. \"Instead, let us do something more fun. Karyuu, hand me the book.\" He took some red book from the Enkidukai. \"Please, read this.\"
Unitearica took the book and glanced at it. \"Cooking? I\'m going to learn cooking?\"
\"Uhh, wait, what?\" Draklar took back the book. \"Karyuu, \'tis be\'th a cooking manual. Give me -the- book.\"
\"I\'m afraid we lost it.\" Answered Karyuu.
\"We... lost it?\"
\"Yeah,\" Karyuu shrugged. \"You remember that time when I was bored and you were reading that book...\"
\"And thou grasp\'d the book...\"
\"Yeah... So then you were chasing me... It was fun and all--\"
\"No, \'twas not...\" Draklar winced.
\"But then I tripped and it fell all the way down into the void. So when you found me I told you that Demarthl took it...\"
\"And then I hang\'d him by the feet above the void, because he did not want to tell me where he hid it.\"
\"Yeah. Wait, what?!\" Karyuu\'s eyes widened.
\"Great, so how are we going to train Uni\'o now?\"
\"Don\'t worry, I have the whole book memorized already.\" Karyuu grinned.
\"Fine, then start with it already...\" Draklar walked away to other part of Death Realm.
\"So what is this training about?\" Asked Unitearica once Draklar walked away.
\"It\'s a viking battle training.\" Answered Karyuu. \"It is supposed to brain wash you, so that you\'ll be swinging an axe like never before.\"
\"I don\'t think I wa--\"
\"To the south, is a realm called Muspell.\" Karyuu began \"That region flickers with dancing flames. It seethes and it shines. No one may endure it, except those born into it. Black Surt is there. He sits in the furthest reaches of that land, brandishing a flaming sword. He is already waiting for the end, when he shall rise and savage the gods, and whelm the whole world with fire...\"
\"...And all that has happened, and all the regions of the world, lie under the branches of the ash Yggdrasill, the greatest and best of trees. It soars over all that is. Its three roots delve into Asgard and Jotunheim and Niflheim, and there is a spring under each. A hawk and eagle sit in it, a squirrel scurries up and down it, deer leap within it and nibble at it, a dragon devours it, and it is sprinkled with dew. It gives life to itself, it gives life to the unborn. The winds whirl round it and Yggdrasill croons or groans. Yggdrasill always was and is and will be.\"
\"How be\'th he?\" Draklar returned after a longer while.
\"Ten hours straight.\" Answered Karyuu. \"He\'s a machine.\"
Draklar glanced at Unitearica. \"When was the last time he blink\'d?\"
\"I don\'t know, I didn\'t look. Why?\"
\"I think not he be\'th breathing, Karyuu...\"
\"Oops...\" The Enkidukai winced.
\"We need the special resuscitation equipment!\" Karyuu handed the Dermorian a steel pole. \"Wake up, Uni\'o!\" Said that, Draklar slammed Unitearica\'s head with the pole.
\"Geez!\" Unitearica clutched his head.
\"How dost thou feel, Uni\'o?\" Draklar asked him.
\"I know the way of the vikings...\"
\"Show me.\"
The map loaded and soon Unitearica found himself standing on a large arena.
\"This be\'th the duel arena.\" Said Draklar. \"Here thou shalt learn the rules behind combat. Rules that later thou shalt transfer to the Planetrix. Rules that theoritically should not exist in there. Understand?\" Unitearica nodded. \"Then hit me if thou can.\" Once Draklar said that, in his hands appeared a sword and an axe.
Unitearica equipped himself with a sword and a shield, charging at the Dermorian afterwards. He swinged the sword at his head, but Draklar parried it with his blade, sending a blow with his axe just after. A loud bang filled the hall as the axe encountered the Ylian\'s shield. Unitearica sent a round of attacks, but Draklar was dodging all of them without bigger problem. The Dermorian swinged both weapons at his opponent\'s shield, throwing him to the ground.
\"Good...\" Said Draklar. \"Speed, strength... But thy weakness be\'th not thy stats.\"
Unitearica quickly stood up and attacked once again.
Demarthl rushed to the rest of the group. \"Draklar is fighting--\" He tripped over some rock and hit the ground with his face. \"Eugh...\"
\"Uni\'o...\" Finished Karyuu. In same moment everyone rushed to the arena map.
Unitearica kept receiving series of blows, until his hit points were at a wane. They stopped.
\"How did I beat thee?\" Asked Draklar.
\"You\'re too strong.\"
\"Dost thou believe that a Dermorian be\'th strong enough to beat an Ylian?\" He waited for Unitearica\'s hit points to restore. \"Again.\"
Another series of attacks were launched from the two fighters, but this time Unitearica was dodging much more blows.
\"What art thou waiting for?\" Said Draklar after parrying another attack. \"Thou art fiercer than this. Think not thou art, know thou art.\"
Unitearica started fighting with more agression, yet still, Draklar was keeping the lead.
\"Come on. I have been stalking thee. Hit me.\"
Unitearica charged at the dermorian and with swing of his sword disabled Draklar\'s guard. He then pushed him away and smashed his face with the shield.
\"I don\'t believe it...\" Whispered Demarthl, still trying to recover from his wound.
\"I know what you\'re trying to do.\" Said Unitearica. \"You\'re trying to recruit me for that viking army of yours.\"
\"Aye. Art thou going to join now?\"
\"No.\"
\"Fine...\" Draklar shrugged. \"Kwartz, load the podium map.\"
\"Loadin\' t\'up, boss.\"
Draklar blinked. \"Kwartz, the podium map still be\'th not loading.\"
\"Uhh... which un was\'t again?\"
\"Which one what?\" Draklar winced.
\"Button! The button!\"
\"Kwartz, for gods\' sake! There be\'th only one button on the console!\"
\"Whatcha talkin\' bout willis?\"
\"Console... The big black box in front of thee!\"
\"Ooooh, that. Pushin\' the button!\"
In same moment a podium map started loading. Soon, Unitearica found himself standing together with Draklar on a podium surrounded by abyss.
\"On this map thou shalt learn to glitch. Follow me.\" Said that, the Dermorian jumped over the abyss, onto the platform. He then glitched into the ceiling and soon disappeared in it.
\"So what if he makes it?\" Asked Demarthl.
\"No one\'s ever made the first glitch, you peanut.\" Answered Kixie
\"Go eat Efflixi\'s banana. What if he does?\"
\"He won\'t.\"
Unitearica jumped onto the platform and glanced at the ceiling. He then jumped into the ceiling, but got stuck there. A lag started filling the map and Unitearica couldn\'t move anymore.
\"Wha...what does that mean?\" Asked Demarthl.
\"It doesn\'t mean anything.\" Answered Arianna.
Suddenly Unitearica found himself back in the Death Realm. He still could experience a bit of lag.
\"I though it wasn\'t this version...\" He said through the lag.
\"Thine account make\'th it this version.\" Answered the Dermorian.
\"If you\'re banned in the Planetrix, you get banned here?\"
\"Thine account cannot enter if thine email gets banned.\"

THATS IT! You friggin stalkers have always been jealous of what I can do.
j/k\'g 8o :D :)) :P
:D Now on the lighter side, OMG, I havent stopped laughing since I started reading it. Drak, when u said u were going to se me in ur next parady; I thought yea ok, I can see that being alright. I never thought u would have me in this part. PLEASE be sure to finish this story out, as I cannot stop laughing at how well u are merging the movie and the game. Ur very good at this, and trust me, Uni (and [OOC] myself), are having a blast reading this. Keep up the good work. When u fully get all this finished, send me an email with the full story. Not that I wont be reading it from here. But this way, I\'ll have it to add with all my planeshift stuff as a keepsake.

Chapter VI
\"The Planetrix be\'th a system, Uni\'o.\" Said Draklar while walking through the streets of Hydlaa, passing by various characters. Lacking the collision detection, they were going right through them. \"That system be\'th our enemy. But when we be inside, thou look\'st around. What dost thou see. Crystal hunters, role-players, afkers, trolls. The very characters o\' the players we be trying to save. But until we do, these players be still a part o\' that system, and that maketh them our enemy. Thou hast to understand, most o\' these players be not ready to be migrat\'d. And many o\' them be so naive, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they shall fight to protect it.\"
Unitearica glanced at a ruby that they were just passing.
\"Wert thou listening to me, Uni\'o, or wert thou looking at the red ruby?\"
\"I was...\"
\"Look again.\"
Unitearica turned around and glanced at the ruby. He jumped back in shock as the ruby had a texture of an Enkidukai.
\"Freeze it.\" Said Draklar and started waiting for the program to freeze. \"Kwartz, I said freeze it.\" He blinked. \"Kwartz?\"
\"Sorry, boss. Wus jugglin\' the lemons.\"
\"Kwartz, could thou please remind me wherefore I got thee into the group?\" Draklar sighed. \"Kwartz? Dost thou hear me?\"
\"I like lemons...\"
\"Aye, o\' course, how could I forget. Forgive me for asking...\" The Dermorian sighed once again. \"Now freeze the damn program!\"
\"I think it\'s already frozen.\" Said Unitearica.
\"No, \'tis just the lag.\" Draklar answered him. \"Kwartz!\"
\"Lemons!\"
\"Kwartz!!! If the program shan\'t freeze within five seconds, I shall put you in a boulder-sculpturing program!\"
\"Heh,\" The Kran answered. \"Ya just sed \'you\'\"
\"Argh!!!\"
\"So, this... this isn\'t the Planetrix?\" Spoke Unitearica.
\"Nay. \'Tis another training program design\'d to learn thee one thing. If thou art not one o\' us, thou art one o\' them.\"
\"One of rubies?\"
\"Ehh, nay... \'twas suppos\'d to turn into a Game Master, but Planeshift\'s code be\'th curs\'d to have lots o\' bugs, \'tseem\'th...\"
\"Game Masters?\" Unitearica kept inquiring.
\"Semi-Sentient people.\" Answered Draklar. \"They can teleport to any place, change their shape as they see fit, e\'en change their name to whate\'er they want. That mean\'th that anyone we have not migrat\'d be\'th potentially a Game Master. Inside the Planetrix, they be e\'erywhere and they be nowhere, due to the fact that they mostly ignore their responsibilities. We surviv\'d by hiding from them, by running from them. But they be the gatekeepers. They be guarding all the doors. They be holding all the keys, which mean\'th that sooner or later, someone be\'th going to have to fight them.\"
\"Someone?\"
\"I shan\'t lie to thee, Uni\'o.\"
\"Well here\'s something new...\"
\"...E\'ery single man or woman who hath stood their ground, e\'eryone who hath fought a Game Master hath been ban\'d. But where they have fail\'d, thou shalt succeed.\"
\"Why?\" Unitearica cocked an eyebrow. \"Because you say so?\"
\"Aye, thou remember our rule, right? Good. Also, I have seen a Game Master teleport through a concrete wall. Men have sent dozens o\' weapon strikes at them and hit nothing but air. Yet their strength and their speed be still bas\'d in a world that is built on rules. They can only use the commands. Because o\' that, they shall ne\'er be as strong or as fast as thou can be.\"
\"What are you trying to tell me, that I can dodge the blows?\"
\"Nay, Uni\'o.\" The Dermorian smirked. \"I be trying to tell thee that when thou art ready, thou shalt ignore their commands.\"
\"Umm...\" Kwartz sent a private message to Draklar.
\"Kwartz, I swear, if this shall be something about lemons--\"
\"We got trouble.\"
\"Oh...\"
\"Also, lemons.\"
\"Gah!\"
\"Did Ojaveda send a private message?\" Asked Draklar.
\"No, another group.\" Answered Tranor. \"Crap, birdies.\"
\"Birdie?\" Unitearica joined the conversation.
\"Players with bird-like nicks.\" Answered Karyuu. \"ArcaneFalcon, snow_RAveN, josePhoenix, Icefalcon... Players hired for one thing.\"
\"Search and destroy.\" Added Tranor.
\"We shall jump down. They should not find us there.\" Said that, Draklar jumped down from the bridge, into the darkness. Some others followed him.
\"It\'s all right, Uni\'o.\" Said Karyuu. \"The fall damage is temporary disabled.\" Soon everyone were on the bottom of the Death Realm.
\"E\'eryone be quiet now.\" The Dermorian whispered.
They could see some movement all the way up. Some characters were searching for something. The silence was complete, no one said a single word... When suddenly...
\"Aiiieeeee!!\" Uttered Karyuu. \"Draklar! I found the book!\"
Draklar slapped his forehead. He could see as the characters were about to jump down. \"E\'eryone, quick. Type /unstick thrice.\" Everyone did so and soon they found themselves back on the bridge. They hid and waited for the birdies to leave the Death Realm. Once that happened, Draklar sighed with relief.
Jazeera was sitting in some darker place and was typing something into a console, when suddenly Unitearica approached him.
\"Whoa, Uni\'o.\" He closed the console. \"You scared the lagmonster out of me.\"
\"Sorry.\"
\"It\'s ok.\"
Unitearica glanced at another console, displaying all sorts of informations about spawning of crystals, or positions of players. \"Is that...\"
\"The Planetrix? Yeah.\"
\"Do you always look at it in the messages?\"
\"Nah, sometimes I look at it encoded.\"
\"Really?!\" Unitearica couldn\'t believe it.
Jazeera burst out with laughter. \"Haha, do I look like a geek?\"
\"Well, technically--\"
\"No! Of course I don\'t. Who in his right mind would stare into all those bugs? We just watch the messages. Hey, you a... want a mushroom?\"
\"Mushroom?\" Unitearica cocked an eyebrow.
\"Yeah, they started growing in Kada-El\'s ever since the staff stopped showing up in there. Pretty hard to get now... You know, with all those hack&slashers out there...\"
\"Sure...\" Unitearica took the mushroom.
\"You know, I know what you\'re thinking,\"
\"Oh great, will this stalking ever end?\"
\"No, I mean, it\'s because right now I\'m thinking the same thing. Actually, I\'ve been thinking it ever since I got here. Why, oh why didn\'t I swallow the ruby?\"
\"Because it was too big.\" Unitearica tried the mushroom.
\"Good stuff, huh?\"
\"Actually, it doesn\'t seem to have any effects...\"
\"Whatever...\" Jazeera shrugged. \"So, can I ask you something? Did he tell you why he did it, why you\'re here?\"
\"Because he wanted.\"
\"Yeah, but about...\"
\"Being the one? Yeah.\"
\"Just ignore it.\" Whispered Jazeera. \"He tells that to everyone he gets out of the Planetrix. He keeps believing in it until he gets bored and finds someone else...\" Jazeera shook his head. \"A little piece of advice. You see a Game Master, you do what we do. Run. run your ass off.\"
\"Thanks for the mushroom.\" Unitearica started walking away.
\"Sweet dreams...\"
\"Do we have a deal, Mr. Jazeera?\" Asked Cad while sitting with the rebel player next to fireplace in Kada-El\'s tavern.
\"You know,\" Answered Jazeera. \"I know the content of this mug doesn\'t exist. I know that when I try to drink it, the Planetrix is showing me a texture, telling me that the content is full and delicious. After two years, you know what I realize? It\'s still better than no mugs at all...\"
\"Then we have a deal?\" Cad repeated the question.
\"I don\'t want to pay nothing. Nothing. You understand? And I want to have lots of crystals. Be someone important... Like have this tavern named after me.\"
\"Whatever you want, mr. Jazeera.\" Cad nodded slightly.
\"Ok. I get my account back into Molecular Blue, you insert me into the Planetrix, I\'ll get you what you want.\"
\"Access password to the Rebels\' Forums secret area.\"
\"No, I told you, I don\'t know it. I can get you the elf who does.\"
\"Draklar...\"
\"Here ya go, buddy.\" Said Kwartz and handed Unitearica a lemon. \"Breakfast of champions.\"
\"A lemon?\" Unitearica glanced at the yellow fruit.
\"Yup!\" Kwartz cracked a big Kranish smile.
\"Well it sure is... yellow...\"
\"Do you know what it really reminds me of?\" Said Demarthl. \"Diamonds. Did you ever find a little shiny diamond?\"
\"Demarthl, diamonds aren\'t yellow.\" Answered Arianna.
\"That\'s exactly my point.\" Demarthl continued. \"Exactly. Because you have to wonder now. What if the devs are colour-blind? How would they know what colour are the diamonds, huh? Maybe they got it wrong. Maybe the colour of the diamonds is actually like lemons or oranges. That makes you wonder about a lot of things. You take hole for example, maybe they couldn\'t figure out what colour is a hole, so they left it without colours. Maybe couldn\'t figure out...\"
\"Shut up, Demarthl!\" Shouted Kixie.
\"It is an oval or roundish fruit resembling the orange,\" Suddenly Kwartz joined the discussion. \"And containing a pulp usually intensely acid. It is produced by a tropical tree of the genus {Citrus}, the common fruit known in commerce being that of the species {C. Limonum} or {C. Medica} (var. Limonum). There are many varieties of the fruit, some of which are sweet.\"
\"What?\" Karyuu cocked an eyebrow.
\"Lemon.\" The Kran smiled.
Demarthl turned to Unitearica. \"So I understand that you\'ve run through the Game Master program. You know, I thought of that program.\"
\"Here it comes...\" Kixie sighed.
\"So what did you think of it?\" Demarthl continued.
\"Of what?\" Unitearica cocked an eyebrow.
\"The red ruby? I spawned it. I can spawn any number of crystals I want. Rubies, emeralds, diamonds... anything you want.\"
\"Demarthl is mentally handicapped...\" Kixie muttered.
\"Pay no attention to these hypocrites, Uni\'o.\" Said Demarthl. \"To deny our lust for crystals is to deny the very thing that makes us crystal-hunters.\"
Arianna glanced at the bridge. \"Uh-oh... Draklar is coming... Quick, pretend that we talk about something intelligent... Or he\'ll start screaming at us, again.\"
\"Intelligent? Like what?\" Asked Demarthl.
\"Like the meaning of life.\" Answered Arianna without thinking much.
Finally Draklar approached them.
\"So I think the meaning of life is cheese...\" Demarthl smiled.
Karyuu slapped her forehead.
\"What the...\" Draklar\'s eyes widened. \"There be no meaning o\' life... And e\'en if there was, \'twould not be a damn cheese!\"
\"Oh yeah? You just don\'t know the cheese enough.\" Demarthl continued. \"The meaning of life lies right there in its uncoloured holes!\"
\"Shut up, Demarthl!\" Uttered Draklar.
\"Bow down to the lord of the cheese! I bring forth the meaning, the meaning that shall be granted onto those who follow the way of the cheese! Cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese--\"
\"I say\'d shut up!\"
\"Um,\" Karyuu joined the lively discussion. \"I think Mjolnir is an awesome weapon...\"
\"I could not agree more, Karyuu!\" Draklar turned to the Enkidukai.
\"So, what did you want from us, Drak?\" Karyuu continued.
\"We be going in. Taking Uni\'o to see Grono.\"
\"Who?\" Asked Unitearica.
\"The Oracle.\" Answered Kwartz.
-
hmm... i dont think that grono fits as the oracle,
other than that everything works so well, i dont see why no one though of it before. *lovens it*

Don\'t worry, I have it well thought out... just like the stuff before :]
-
Moving deeper into the story, huzzah! I think the last chapter followed the structure of the film a bit too closely, though. At least dialogue-wise. I think it would be better if you tried to deviate from this as much as you did in the beginning, Draklar ;)
Otherwise, brilliant.
*resteals Draklar\'s head and runs off*
-
Come on now K, Drak says he\'s got it all under control, we must believe that he knows what he\'s doing.
Besides, Uni\'o
-
@Karyuu: I\'ll probably stick with this style;
But tell you what: Beginning from Revolutions I\'ll stay further from the original dialogues... just for you ;P
Can I have my head back now? :\\

lol - Not brainwashed, besides, even Uni\'o isnt brainwashed, he still keeps calling them stalkers. :D
Anyways, I cant wait to read the next chapter. This stuff\'s hilarious and so well done. Close to the the scripting of events and dialogue sequence, but far enough swayed by PS that it becomes very entertaining. The only problem I see is that no one even complimented me on the new sig I made, just for this story, to promote how good it is.
-
actually there was compliments, i saw them. they just werernt made here.
-
Unitearica! That sig is pure brilliance! I loved every part, from the left side, to the right. Even the top to bottum. The suspence you build with so few words in just the proper color is astonding! :D
Oh...and I guess Drak\'s story is ok. :P (Just kidding, great work Draklar)
*hugs his own sig*
-
You people are all a bunch of raving lunatics! What have I gotten myself into!?! AAARRGGHHH!
Fabulous story, Draklar! I can\'t wait for the next installment!
-
I made the ruby ;D~
:O oh well, gonna die soon, or somethign deviously similar knowing Draklar

Hey, it\'s your fault you didn\'t read the small print when joining us...
Caution: Hanging out with Explorers might cause severe insanity and slightly eccentric behaviour.
;D
Don\'t worry, Demarthl... Your demise shan\'t come any sooner than in VIII chapter ;D

You know... Seeking for the answer to this question, I recalled a situation that surely shall be used in chapter VIII...
Now to answer the question, Drey... You bite people as a \'hello\'...

Chapter VII
\"Everyun please pat your monkey good luck,\" Said Kwartz. \"And no eatin\' grass ina soccer court, it growin\' there fo\' a reason. Just sit back an\' enjoy your air...\"
\"Wow, I feel so much safer now...\" Unitearica sighed.
Draklar, Arianna, Kixie, Karyuu, Jazeera, Demarthl and Unitearica appeared in the invisible room. For a while they didn\'t move at all, but finally some of them started breathing.
\"Let us go.\" Said Draklar.
\"Wait,\" Karyuu turned to him. \"Uni\'o.\"
Draklar glanced at the Ylian. \"Ah, indeed... The first connection shall take a longer time...\"
Finally Unitearica moved. Everyone besides Demarthl turned to doors and soon walked out of the invisible room, going down the stairs to the main tavern hall afterwards.
\"Hmm...\" Unitearica glanced at Draklar.
\"What?\" Draklar turned to him.
\"Your texture has shades...\"
\"Aye.\"
\"And why do you have shades?\"
\"Simple.\" Answered Draklar. \"When I go to Grono, I use my Dermorian model. But since male Dermorian model was not present in the times o\' Molecular Blue, I have to mask myself somehow, so that other players shan\'t find me suspicious.\"
\"And that\'s why you...\"
\"That be\'th wherefore I use shades.\"
\"But don\'t you think...\" Unitearica took a look around. \"That people might be surprised by a medieval character wearing shades?\"
\"Uni\'o, Uni\'o, Uni\'o...\" Draklar shook his head.\"Thou art forgetting the rule... See, I know those people... They find it more natural to talk about cell phones or setting up console games in the tavern rooms, than to hear someone say, for example; Let us thus march onward, fierce soldiers o\' freedom! Our hearts shall scream for vengeance, our steel scream for blood! Morrow still seem\'th young, yet our goal be\'th yonder! Therefore, be ye younkers, be ye gaffers; Join the cause! Let the Azure Sun shine upon us, shine like the fortune favourable to those who seek the path o\' glory!\"
\"Wow.\" Unitearica was in shock.
\"Hah,\" Jazeera joined the discussion. \"I remember that speech. Someone reported Draklar for using foul language and soon after we had to hit the road, hoping that Game Masters wouldn\'t find us.\"
\"Well, we be here.\" Draklar stopped before the temple. \"Uni\'o, come with me.\"
\"So is this the same Oracle that made the prophecy?\" Asked Unitearica while entering the temple.
\"Aye. She be\'th very old. She hath been here since the beginning.\"
\"The beginning...?\"
\"The 2D version o\' Planeshift.\"
\"And she knows what, everything?\" Unitearica kept inquiring.
\"She would say she does.\"
\"And she\'s never wrong?\"
\"That I say\'d not. But \'tis still fun to bother her and get to know what she would advice thee...\"
\"She adviced you something?\"
\"Erm...\" Draklar winced.
\"What did she tell you?\"
\"She told me \'...\'\" The Dermorian shrugged.
\"What?\"
\"Just \'...\'\"
\"Oh...\" Unitearica looked down. \"Wow, that... That sucks, doesn\'t it?\"
\"Pretty much, aye.\" Draklar stopped before a gate. \"I can only show thee the gate. Thou hast to walk through it.\"
Unitearica was about to push the gate, but instead it opened on its own. In front of him stood Moogie.
\"Hiya, Uni\'o.\" She spoken. \"You\'re right on time...\" Moogie turned to the Dermorian. \"Make yourself at home, Draklar. Uni\'o, come with me.\" There were some other people in the temple, all training the glitching. \"These are the other potentials, you can wait here.\"
Unitearica approached some bald Ylian. There were bent sporks lying around him. He was just bending another one. Unitearica picked up one of the sporks.
\"Do not try and and bend the spork.\" The bald Ylian said. \"That\'s impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth.\"
\"What truth?\" Asked Unitearica.
\"Sporks aren\'t implemented yet.\"
\"Sporks aren\'t implemented yet?\"
\"Then you\'ll see that it is not the spork that bends, it is only your account.\"
Unitearica glanced back at the spork. Using the newly received knowledge, he managed to bend the small object.
\"Grono will see you now.\" Said Moogie.
Grono was standing on the pedestal, covered with all the sparkling things.
\"Hmm?\" Grono glanced at Unitearica.
\"You\'re the Oracle?\"
\"Yup.\" Grono winced. \"Don\'t tell me you\'re another of Draklar\'s \'the ones\'\"
\"Well, actually...\"
\"Great...\" She sighed. \"I\'d ask you to sit down, but sitting wasn\'t implemented yet. And watch out for the milk.\"
\"What milk?\" Unitearica turned around, nudging a bottle of milk, which then fell down. The milk got spilled.
\"That milk...\" Grono winced.
\"I\'m sorry.\"
\"Oh, you\'ll be sorry all right... When Moogie finds out what you did. We better hurry with this conversation and end it before she comes back.\"
\"So...\" Unitearica took a look around.
\"Err, right... So what do you think? You think you\'re the one?\"
\"Probably...\" Unitearica shrugged.
\"Wait, what?\" Grono cocked an eyebrow.
\"I\'m probably the one.\"
\"No, you are not Havena\'s descendent... Monk is.\"
\"Who?\"
\"The bald guy over there...\" She pointed at the Ylian.
\"Oh, the spork guy...\" Unitearica shrugged. \"Well, Draklar says I\'m the one and the rule sta--\"
\"Don\'t listen to what Draklar says. He\'s a dork.\"
\"Huh?\"
\"He keeps coming in here with his \'the ones\' so that I can give them an advice. Well, at least he doesn\'t send here players like Kixie anymore...\" Grono sighed. \"Anyway, he\'ll leave soon anyway...\"
\"What do you mean, leave?\"
\"Well, soon he\'ll get annoyed by the Game Masters and just leave Planeshift. Again... It won\'t be quite the same without him though. Without his... odd behaviour...\"
\"What?\" Unitearica\'s eyes widened.
\"Don\'t worry, with no doubt he\'ll be back. People can\'t leave this community just like that. Those who leave, always return. So you\'ll see Drak back in no time.\"
\"Right, that\'s what I worry about.\"
\"Oh... Anyway, do you want a cookie?\"
\"You\'re trying to get me into your circle of love, aren\'t you?\"
\"You met Kixie, huh?\" Grono winced. \"Well, I think you should better be going now... Moogie will be back in no time. If she sees the milk...\"
\"Ok, I\'ll go...\" Unitearica turned around and rushed out.
Draklar approached him \"What was say\'d was for--\"
\"No time for that.\" Unitearica didn\'t stop. \"We better run.\"
\"F*cking hell!!\" Moogie\'s scream could be heard from the behind. \"Who the hell spilled my milk?! I am going to rip that as*hole\'s windpipe out!!\"
\"Lemon, lemon in a tree... Lemon, lemon I love thee; Thou art yellow, thou art tart... Lemon, lemon great thou art.\" Kwartz hugged his lemon and glanced back to the console. Suddenly surprise appeared on his face. He moved the lemon to the screen. \"Whatcha think, John... Wut\'s that?\"

Chapter VIII
\"For gods\' sake, such a fuss, just because o\' spill\'d milk.\" Draklar shook his head.
\"Interesting to hear you say that,\" Unitearica turned to the Dermorian. \"Because you sure weren\'t so calm when I spillt some milk onto your sword.\"
\"Well that be\'th something different.\" Draklar shrugged. \"I... Wait, what be\'st thou talking about?\"
\"About the milk I spillt onto your sword? You don\'t remember? You were screaming like a... well, like yourself because of it...\"
\"I... I have no idea what thou be\'st talking about...\" A frown could be noticed on his face. \"Milk... On -my- sword?\"
\"Or wait, maybe it was Karyuu yelling at me...\" Unitearica started pondering. \"Yup, it was her after all. Screaming that you\'ll kill us or something if you find out... Damn, she was so scary back then.\" Unitearica grinned to Draklar. \"Wait... Oh, crap...\"
\"Thou spill\'d milk onto -my- sword?\" Draklar leaped at Unitearica and threw him to the ground. \"Prepare to meet Odin!\"
\"No, wait!\" The Ylian uttered. \"I am the one, remember?\"
\"Who the hell cares? Milk was spill\'d so blood now shall be shed!\"
\"If you\'ll finish me off, it\'ll prove that I\'m not the one and that you were wrong!\"
Draklar stopped. \"Thou hast a point there...\"
Unitearica stood up. \"So why all Grono told you was \'...\' anyway.\"
\"Well, \'tis a long story...\" Draklar hid his axe.
\"Really?\"
\"Nay, \'tis actually pretty short.\"
\"Go ahead then...\"
\"Well, \'t all start\'d when I went to the temple to seek for Grono\'s advice.\" Started Draklar. \"When I came in, I notic\'d that she hath been standing on the pedestal... So I came o\'er to her and push\'d her down.\"
\"What? Was that supposed to make any sense?\"
\"Let me finish. So then she started staring at me. \'Twas kind o\' awkward for a moment... But then I utter\'d with pride in my voice, that the Templars o\' Steel take o\'er the temple. As an answer she call\'d me a dork.\"
\"Well, that\'s most surprising...\" Unitearica rolled his eyes.
\"Right, so then I ask\'d \'er whether she knows what dork actually means...\"
\"What?\"
\"Obviously, she did not know... So I told \'er that dork be\'th the whale\'s penis...\"
\"What the... I don\'t think--\"
\"So in return she say\'d \'...\'\" Draklar shrugged. \"And Moogie told me to go out...\"
\"Why do I feel like this whole rebelion is doomed to die?\"
Finally they approached the rest of the group.
\"Milk be\'th good for thy bones, Karyuu.\" Mumbled Draklar.
Karyuu glanced at Unitearica and then turned back to the rest of the group. \"All right people, we\'ll be eating milk only for the next few weeks...\" She frowned. \"Everyone, thank Uni\'o.\"
\"Thanks, Uni\'o...\" everyone muttered.
Unitearica shrugged.
Unitearica shrugged. \"Whoa... I\'m having a deja-vu...\"
Karyuu turned back to him. \"What did you just say?\"
\"Nothing, just had a little deja-vu.\"
\"What did you see?\"
\"What happened?\" Added Jazeera.
\"I used /me command to shrug and the server returned it twice...\"
\"Ary, Kixie.\" Draklar called the other two.
\"What is it?\" Asked Unitearica.
\"Multi-message is usually a glitch in the Planetrix.\" Said Karyuu. \"It happens when they change something.\"
\"I though that when they do, the server restarts.\"
\"Yes, you also thought that telling Draklar about the milk was a good idea...\" Karyuu frowned once again.
\"We must hurry!\" Draklar uttered to the rest of the group.
\"Hold me, lemon.\" Kwartz was seemingly afraid of what he noticed on the console. \"They disablin\' the invisible room.\" He messaged Demarthl. \"Isa trap, getout!\"
\"Oh no. Oh no...\" Demarthl took some can and quickly opened it. He started munching on the coffee seeds. After a while he looked up to the doors and noticed a band of characters staring at him from there.
\"Arrrggghhh!\" He roared and started smashing their heads with his fists. \"Ca-ffe-ine... Ca-ffe-ine...\" He kept yelling every time he hit something. Suddenly Drey approached the doors.
\"Don\'t be b*tch about it...\" The Game Master said to Demarthl.
\"Oh no...\" Demarthl\'s eyes widened even more than after the caffeine.
\"You have banned \'demarthl@planetrix.it\' off of the server.\" Received Drey.
Jazeera tried to get out from the tavern through the doors, but he couldn\'t pass them. \"That\'s what they changed.\" He said. \"We\'re trapped. There\'s no way out.\"
\"Be calm.\" Whispered Draklar. \"I shall talk with Kwartz.\"
\"And that is supposed to make us calm?\" Asked Karyuu.
\"We have no choice...\"
\"j0\" Said the kran.
\"Kwartz. Find a glitch drawing o\' Kada-El\'s tavern. Find it fast.\"
\"Hmm... O-oh lemon.\" Kwartz started singing. \"Now I finally have you... I goin\' to rub my--\"
\"Kwartz!\"
\"Ok, we got it, boss.\"
\"I need an alternative way o\' getting out.\"
\"Try the chimney.\"
\"Fireplace.\" Cad sent private messages to the rest of the Game Masters.
Drey quickly walked down and started looking around. \"Where is them?\"
Suddenly Jazeera coughed.
\"What the...\" Karyuu\'s voice came out of the chimney. \"Why did you do that?\"
\"It\'s not my fault, it came out by itself.\"
\"Thou us\'d the /me command, thou jarring flap-mouthed maggot-pie!\"
\"Hey, you told us to role-play, remember?\"
\"Oh, thou art going down...\"
Suddenly something bit Arianna\'s leg. She looked down. \"Am I tasty?\"
\"Yes.\" Answered Drey.
Draklar jumped onto Drey and together they glitched out of the chimney.
\"Draklar!\" Yelled Karyuu.
\"Thou must get Uni\'o out. I shan\'t be wrong again!\"
\"Ok, let\'s hurry.\" Said Unitearica.
\"Karyuu, go!\" Draklar continued.
\"Go!\" The Enkidukai repeated to everyone else.
Soon they glitched out of the chimney and jumped onto the tavern roof. There they found few characters guarding the exit. The fight started, yet Jazeera decided to run away in the chaos of battle.
\"The great Draklar...\" Whispered Drey. \"We meet at last.\"
\"And thou art...\"
\"Drey. Game Master Drey.\"
\"...sitting on my axe.\"
Drey stood up and walked away a bit. \"So... let\'s begin...\"
Draklar picked up the axe and attacked the Game Master. He sent many blows, but none reached Drey, who showed amazing dodging skills. \"Maxed Agility.\" Said Drey. Draklar continued the attacks and after a while he finally managed to hit Drey with the axe. The blow however didn\'t seem to cause much damage. \"Maxed Endurance.\" Added Drey. The Game Master then aimed his dagger at Draklar and swinged it at his chest, sending the Dermorian to the wall. \"And maxed Strength...\" Drey walked up to him. \"What should I max next?\"
\"How about Charisma?\" Answered Draklar.
\"Ok.\"
Cad approached them. \"Teleport him.\"

That would be unneeded... Just beat them up.
On another note, Now that (I think) I strain a bit more from the original dialogues, what do you people think about it? Didn\'t get any comments on that.
Oh yeah, and I\'ll try to post another chapter today (If anyone wondered), kind of hard to write, with this stuff to change in it...
On third note, huzzah for my 3000th post :P

Chapter IX
\"Hey.\" Jazeera messaged Kwartz.
\"j0\"
\"Yeah. I need a safe log-out area, fast.\"
\"Darling?\"
\"Yeah. I mean no, it\'s me, Jazeera. Get me out of here, fast.\"
\"Gotcha. Main street, top of the brown tower.\"
\"Right.\"
All the guards were finally put to rest. Karyuu pulled out a pencil from the head of one of them. \"Kwartz, it\'s me.\" She sent a message to the Kran.
\"We already told you! No goats, we already have \'em with pasta an\' ice cream in da fridge!\"
\"What in the...\" Karyuu blinked. \"Kwartz?\"
\"Oh, is you, Karyuu. Thought you were the mailmen...\"
\"Yeah... Listen, is Draklar still around, Kwartz?\"
\"They movin\' him. Seems like to the NPC Room.\"
\"Hmm... We need a safe log-out area...\"
\"You near the darling.\"
\"Darling? Karyuu cocked an eyebrow.
\"Jazeera. Goin\' to the brown towers.\"
\"Got it.\"
Jazeera logged-out on one of the brown towers and moved to the Death Realm of Crystal Blue. \"Where are they?\" He asked the Kran.
\"Fridge.\" Answered Kwartz.
\"What?\"
\"Goats, pasta an\' ice cream. Fridge.\"
\"No, I mean the others.\"
\"Oh, bird and her band gettin\' onto browny.\"
\"Good...\" Jazeera sneaked behind the Kran. \"Kwartz! There\'s a... a... a -thing- on your back!!\" He shouted.
\"Eeeee!!\" Kwartz screamed like a little girl. \"Getitoffme! Getitoffme!\" He started running all around the Death Realm.
\"You first, Uni\'o.\" Said Karyuu once everyone got onto the brown tower.
Unitearica tried to access Crystal Blue, but he didn\'t manage to. \"I don\'t know, it says access denied.\"
\"What?\" Karyuu cocked an eyebrow. \"Kwartz? Are you there?\"
\"Hello, Karyuu.\" Jazeera sent private message to the Enkidukai.
\"Jazeera? Where\'s Kwartz?\"
\"You know, for a long time, I thought I was in love with myself. I used to pretend that I\'m my own girlfriend. I would be a beautiful woman, Karyuu... Too bad things had to turn out this way...\"
\"What the hell are you talking about?\" Karyuu\'s eye twitched.
\"It seems we weren\'t meant for each other. I broke up with myself and started looking for a new partner...\"
\"All right... I think I heard anough of-- Where\'s Kwartz, Jazeera?\"
\"I got rid of him and his stupid dwarven legs. What the hell was Draklar thinkin--\"
\"You deleted them?\" Karyuu lowered her ears.
\"No, just scared the idiot away.\" Answered Jazeera. \"I\'m tired of this rebelion. I\'m tired of fighting. I\'m tired of this Death Realm, being beaten up by any noob passing by, eating the same god-damn lemons everyday. But most of all, I\'m tired of that fairy and his thou-talk. Surprise, peanut. I bet you never saw this coming, did you? God, I wish I could be there, when they break you. I wish I could walk in just in G-string bikini and dance my wet victory dance...\"
Karyuu made a face. \"You gotta be kidding me...\"
\"He lied to us, Karyuu. He tricked us. If he told us the truth, we would told him to shove that diamond right up his--\"
\"How about I shove a pencil up your ass, Jazeera? How would you swallow the ruby?\"
\"Doesn\'t matter. He shouldn\'t force us into this.\"
\"That\'s not true, Jazeera, he set us free.\"
\"Free? You call this free? All I do is what he tells me to do and listen to him yelling at me when I don\'t. If I had to choose between that and the Planetrix, I choose the Planetrix.\"
\"The Planetrix isn\'t real.\"
\"I disagree, Karyuu. I think the Planetrix can be more real than Crystal Blue. All I do is press the delete button here. But there, you have to watch Kixie disappear.\"
\"Karyuu...\" Whimper Kixie just before disappearing.
\"Welcome to the real game, huh baby?\"
\"But you\'re out, you idiot... You can\'t go back.\"
\"Oh no. That\'s what you think. they\'re going to reinsert my account. I go back to Planetrix and when I connect to Molecular Blue, I don\'t pay a god-damn thing. By the way, if you have anything terribly important to say to Ary, I suggest you say it now.\" Jazeera started sending Arianna the music from Laanx\' Temple played at five times normal speed.
\"Not like this. Not like this.\" Arianna tried to get rid of the music.
\"Too late.\" Jazeera pressed the delete button.
\"Damn it, Jazeera!\" Yelled Karyuu.
\"Don\'t hate me, Karyuu. I\'m just the mailman,\"
\"What?\"
\"Err, yeah, I don\'t think that\'s the word... Ok, I think I have it.\" Jazeera continued. \"I\'m just the pageboy--\"
\"That still sounds lame.\"
\"Can\'t be... I was writing that speech for a month... Wait, I have it scribbled here somewhere...\"
\"I\'m waiting...\"
\"Ok, got it. Don\'t hate me, yada yada yada... Ah, know it now.\"
\"This better be good...\"
\"I\'m just the messenger, and right now I\'m going to prove it to you. If Draklar was right, then there\'s no way I can push Uni\'o\'s delete button. I mean if Uni\'o is the one, then there\'d have to be some kind of a miracle to stop me. Right? I mean how can he be the one if he doesn\'t exist? You never did answer me before. If you bought into Draklar\'s smooth-talk. Come on - all I want is a little yes or no. Look into his eyes, those big-- Wait, can you tell me what colour are his eyes? I wrote here , but forgot to check it. So can you...?\"
\"No.\"
\"Fine, just answer the first question then. Yes or no.\"
\"Screw you.\"
\"eeeeEEEEEE!!\" Heard Jazeera from the direction of the bridge. In his direction was running Kwartz with a Planeshift bug on his back.
\"No, I don\'t believe it.\" Before Jazeera could do anything, Kwartz rushed by him leaving the bug on his face. It didn\'t take long before the bug damaged Jazeera\'s account, as a result deleting his character.
\"Backs feelin\' weird and legs runnin\'s away but the head in normal shape.\" Kwartz told the group.
\"So to put it into simple words,\" Added Unitearica. \"Everything\'s screwed up.\"
\"Uhh...\" Kwartz grinned. \"Don\'t know whatcha talkin\' bout, but ye can come over here now.\"
\"You first.\" Unitearica turned to Karyuu. \"I\'m not staying with those freaks alone there...\"
Karyuu connected to Crystal Blue. At once she turned to Kwartz. \"You\'re hurt.\"
Kwartz smiled. \"Will be alright, Kary.\"
\"Where\'s your legs?\"
\"Told us he has had it enuff.\"
\"Oh...\" Karyuu lowered her ears.

Oh, I know... But the question is do you know it...
*points at the community awards thread*
:P
Most people who read this probably know about Kwartz (well, besides Drey for sure...) and if I were to remove all people that left community, then I wouldn\'t have enough characters to actually write it...

Brilliant, Sir Draklar. Damn funny. :D

i know of Kwartz, he doesnt like The Offspring :/

Chapter X
Draklar took a look around. He was standing in the NPC Room, sector filled with nothing but trees and a cozy smithy. He had his hands tied up with some rope, as he found out - Cad used it to keep people from logging out from the Planetrix. Soon he was moved all the way to the smithy, facing its doors. Cad used a push command to transport him through the doors. Few seconds later, all three Game Masters teleported themselves after him.
\"Have you ever stood and stared at it,\" Cad began to speak. \"Marveled by it\'s complexity, it\'s genius? Billions of players--\"
\"Hardly...\" Draklar interrupted him.
\"...Tens of thousands--\"
\"Thou hast to be kidding...\"
\"Oh really? Do you want to look at the server stats?\"
\"Right, I myself have o\'er thirty Molecular Blue characters... What art thou trying to prove?\"
\"As I was saying..! Hundreds of players just playing their game, oblivious. Did you know that the first Planetrix was designed to be a perfect role-playing world.. Where none trolled. Where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the game. Many were getting bored, entire groups of players were leaving. Some believed that we lacked the programming skills to create your perfect game. But I believe that as a type of players, role-players define their enjoyment through yelling and arguing with trolls. Perfect game, one without struggles, arguing, annoying trolls... it kept making your kind leaving out of boredom. Which is why the Planetrix was redesigned to this, the peak of your Planeshift. I say your Planeshift, because as soon as Crystal Blue got released, Planeshift became power-levelers game, which is of course what this is all about. Progress, Draklar, progress, like the tabletop games... Look at all the MMORPGs. You had your time, Draklar. The future is power-levelers\' time.\"
\"Drey!\" Drey interrupted him.
Cad sighed. \"What is it, Drey?\"
\"There could be issues...\"
\"What are they doing to him?\" Asked Unitearica.
\"Tryin\' to make \'em leave.\" Answered Kwartz. \"It like squeezin\' a lemon thru yer nose, all it takes is time.\"
\"How much time?\"
\"Lemme show you.\" Kwartz took a medium sized lemon and started squeezing it into his nose.
\"Argh!\" Unitearica turned away. \"Oh, that\'s disgusting! Make it stop!\"
\"Hmm... it stuck ina nose...\" Kwartz poked the lemon.
\"Depends on the mind.\" Said Karyuu. \"Eventually it will crack and when it does, Draklar will leave and tell them anything they want to know.\"
\"Well what do they want?\"
\"Stuffed pork chops.\" Answered Kwartz.
\"What?\" Unitearica cocked an eyebrow.
\"Chops is them smaller cuts from them loin primal cut. They individual serving cuts that are sliced to various thicknesses. Dependin\' in the size of--\"
\"No, I mean--\"
\"Kwartz...\" Karyuu sighed. \"You\'re talking about Savion.\"
\"Savion ain\'t pork chop, Kary.\" The Kran smiled. \"Them are a little freaky guy that talkin\' ina third person...\"
\"I know, but it\'s Savion who wants the pork chops, not the Game Masters. They want something that we actually have...\"
Kwartz blinked. \"Why wud anyone want Demarthl\'s pants?\"
Karyuu slapped her forehead. \"To make a salad, Kwartz. Now go and pull that lemon out of your nose...\"
\"On our way, Kary.\"
Karyuu turned to Unitearica. \"The leader of every group is given password to rebelion forums\' secret area. If a Game Master got the password and got into forums\' secret area, they could destroy us. We can\'t let that happen.\"
\"Forums more important than we or you or even Draklar...\" Added Kwartz.
\"Even more important than lemons?\" Unitearica smirked.
The Kran grabbed him by the collar and looked deep into his eyes, squeezing Unitearica against the wall. \"Never, ever deny the importance of lemon. Got\'it? Lemon is them GOD! Nothing more important than lemon. Now repeat, lemon is god! Repeat it!\"
\"Kwartz! Kwartz!\" Karyuu kept poking the Kran. \"Put him down...\"
\"Alright, ya getting down... but only cuz the bird wants it... But remember... Lemon... God... Praise... Lemon.\" Kwartz put him down.
\"So...\" Unitearica tried to make himself to stop shaking. \"Should we delete his character or something?\"
\"What?!\" Karyuu\'s eyes widened. \"No! Have you lost your mind?\"
\"Well, if the forums are more important...\"
\"Screw the forums, we\'re going to save him!\"
\"Never send a role-player to do Game Master\'s job...\" Said Cad.
\"If indeed the insider has failed,\" Continued Tmed. \"They\'ll delete his character as soon as possible, unless...\"
\"They lag to death. Hmm... Drey has a plan!\" Finished Drey.
\"...We have no choice but to continue as planned.\" Said Cad. \"Deploy the birdies immediately.\"
\"Draklar, you\'s more than a leader to us...\" Said Kwartz while staring at the delete button. \"You\'s... them guy that spoke in that funny way. We\'ll miss you anyways.\"
\"Be quiet Kwartz, we\'re getting him out.\" Said Karyuu.
\"Stop. I don\'t believe this is happening.\" Continued Unitearica.
\"Uni\'o, this has to be done.\"
\"Does it? I don\'t know, I... this can\'t be just coincidence. It can\'t be.\"
\"Watcha talkin\' bout, Willis?\" Asked Kwartz.
\"Grono. She told me this would happen. She told me that Draklar would leave, and then...\"
\"Then what?\" Karyuu tilted her head.
\"Then he would return anyway... There\'s no point in saving him.\"
\"What?!\"
\"He\'ll come back sooner or later... So we can just wait.\"
\"I\'m not going to wait, Uni\'o! We\'re going in... Now!\"
\"But... That\'s a suicide!\"
\"Uni\'o, I know you don\'t want to get him out just because we were stalking you--\"
\"Ah-ha!\" Unitearica interrupted her.
\"...Because you -think- we were stalking you. You are the one, remember? Nothing can happen to you.\"
\"No, I\'m not...\"
\"What?\" Karyuu cocked an eyebrow.
\"Grono told me I\'m not the one.\"
\"No, you have to be.\"
\"Sorry, I\'m not. I\'m just another player.\"
\"No, Uni\'o, that\'s not true. It can\'t be true.\"
\"Why? Because Draklar says I\'m the one? He said that about everyone else, remember?\"
\"Point taken...\" Karyuu shrugged.
\"Good. So see, that\'s why I believe we shouldn\'t try to save him.\"
\"We\'re going in, Uni\'o...\"
\"No, we\'re not.\"
\"No? Let me tell you what I believe. I believe Draklar means more to me than he does to you. I believe if you were really serious about saving Planeshift, you are going to need our help. And since I am now the highest ranked in this group, if you don\'t like it, I believe you can go to play Runescape. Because you aren\'t going to play anything else. Kwartz, load us up.\"

BOOM baby ;) To hell and back. I\'m dying with anticipation to see how you\'re going to handle the next scenes.
\"They lag to death. Hmm... Drey has a plan!\" Finished Drey.
I have no idea why, but Drey is suddenly reminding me of Betty from Kung Pow: Enter the Fist... :P Scary.
-

Chapter XI
\"I\'d like to share a revelation during my time here.\" Continued Cad. \"It came to me when I tried to classify your kind. I realized that you\'re not actually players. Every player on this world instinctively develops his characteristics, to somehow finish the game, but you role-players do not. You move to a game and you try to convert other players into doing nothing but standing around and chatting. No one listens to you though and you, instead of actually \'playing\' the game, get discouraged and go away. The only way you can survive is to spread to another game. There is another type in the internet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A troll. Role-players come and go, they don\'t create a stable player-base. You are a plague, and we are the cure.\"
\"Alright.\" Said Kwartz. \"Whatcha need, besides pants and three pairs of them clean socks?\"
\"Arms.\" Answered Unitearica. \"Lots of arms.\"
\"Loadin\' up.\"
Suddenly Unitearica\'s model changed. Instead of just one pair, he had five pairs of arms.
\"No, Kwartz! I mean the weapons!\"
\"Hurry up, Uni\'o!\" Yelled Karyuu. \"What is taking you so long?\"
\"I\'m looking for a 44 slash dark longsword... But this isle has only longswords up to 34 slash... Hmm... There\'s a 22 slash Short Longsword in here...\"
\"Hmm... checked the isle 23?\"
\"Yeah, only shortswords there.\"
\"Ah! Now I remember! Draklar was taking some from isle 45!\"
\"Let me check.\" Unitearica rushed towards the said isle, losing all the stamina on his way. After few minutes he was there. \"Hmm... Well there are 44 slash longswords here, but no dark ones...\"
\"Is it really needed?\"
\"Well I want to have a dark longsword...\"
\"Bah...\" Karyuu rolled her eyes.
\"Flaming, lightning, cold, rusty, leet, battle, fluffy, da... Ah! Found it!\"
\"Great, we can go now.\"
\"Not yet, I need to find a scorched battleaxe...\"
\"...\"
\"Why isn\'t our plan working?\" Asked Cad.
\"Perhaps we\'re asking the wrong questions...\" Answered Tmed.
\"Drey has a plan!\" Uttered Drey.
\"Hmm?\" Cad turned to Drey. \"Ah, what the heck... It can\'t get any worse. Go ahead.\"
\"Leave us alone now.\" Drey waited for others to leave the smithy. He approached Draklar and started peering at his face. He moved a bit closer... \"Drey!\"
\"What the... Hast thou lost thy mind?\"
\"Noes!\" Drey shook his head. \"Im goings to be proposing to you.\"
\"Thou want\'st to marry me?\" Draklar cocked an eyebrow.
\"Noes! Proposing some swords!\"
\"What kind o\' swords?\"
\"Like longsword of teh sex +4.\"
\"Really?\"
\"Noes, like 62 slash longswords or 78 slash broad swords.\"
\"Hmm... Sound\'th good... But what dost thou want in return?\"
\"Nothing...\"
\"Wow! That be\'th most kind!\"
\"Well, nothing, but also password to the secret forums area.\"
\"I be afraid, I cannot accept that.\"
\"Two swords.\"
\"Hmm...\"
Karyuu and Unitearica approached the temple. Out of a sudden a priest rushed out of the great building and turned in their direction. \"Welcome to the temple of Laanx! Please, make yourself comf--\" The priest fell down with a pencil stuck in his head. The two moved further into the temple. Once they got inside, all the characters looked at them. Before they would do anything, Unitearica started attack. One after another, the characters were falling down. Some tried to run in panic, others screamed the words of anger and leet. Unitearica rushed onto the stairs and put down a tower shield. He stepped onto it and pushed himself, thus sliding on it down the stairs. While doing so, he kept throwing axes at the screaming characters, in the end hitting the ground and landing on his jaw. Unitearica stood up and dusted himself off. He took a look around, only one person was still alive. He recognised him - it was Monk. Upon approaching him, he unsheathed his Dark Longsword and spoken. \"Sporks aren\'t implemented yet, punk!\" Said that he smashed the Ylian\'s head.
\"Uhm, Uni\'o...\" Karyuu poked him.
\"Hargh!\" He almost attacked Karyuu. \"Huh? What is it?\"
\"I don\'t think those people have anything to do with our mission...\"
\"...What?\"
\"Yeah, we were supposed to glitch to the temple tower, after all...\"
\"Oh, well...\" Unitearica took a look around. \"Let\'s go...\"
\"What were you doing?\" Spoke Cad once he and Tmed got back to the smithy.
Drey glanced at them while putting down yet another sword. There was over twenty of them, each of different type, lying all around the room.
\"He doesn\'t know...\" Said Tmed.
\"Know what?\" Asked Drey.
\"Rebels are storming our units.\" The Kran continued. \"Somehow they found out we have spies in the temple... and wiped them out.\"
\"Thems are smarter than we thought...\" Drey picked up the swords.
\"Find them and ban them.\" Finished Cad.
\"I repeat, we are under attack!\"
Karyuu and Unitearica kept pushing characters down from the roof of the temple. Those who were pushed down, couldn\'t climb up fast enough to support all the others. Finally the last one was pushed down.
\"Hey!\" Unitearica heard from the behind. He turned around - it was Game Master Drey.
He attacked him with dual longswords, but Drey was too fast. He managed to dodge every single blow that Unitearica aimed at him. When Unitearica got tired, the Game Master counter-attacked with his daggers.
\"Karyuu... Help!\" Unitearica managed to dodge most of the attacks, but finally some of them scratched him slightly.
\"Only role-player.\" Said Drey and prepared for the final attack.
\"Dodge this.\" Karyuu swinged her pencil at the Game Master.
Drey dodged it. \"Heh...\"
\"Ok, how about this?\" Suddenly Drey felt an awful pain in his groin. Karyuu moved her knee away and Drey fell to the ground. \"How did you do that?\" Karyuu turned to Unitearica.
\"Do what?\"
\"You moved like they do. You power-leveled, didn\'t you?\"
\"Just forget it, we have mission to do.\"
\"Can you climb the tower?\"
\"I can try.\"
Once they got up onto the tower, Karyuu contacted the Kran. \"Kwartz, get us to the NPC Room. This should be a safe returning point.\"
\"No...\" Said Cad once he noticed Karyuu and Unitearica who appeared on the map.
Not waiting even one second, they started running away from the Game Masters. \"We must get them away from Draklar.\" Said Karyuu. \"Until he gets free from the rope.\"
Draklar took one of the swords that Drey forgot to hide and cut the rope with it. \"Kwartz, get us out.\" He said.
\"You goin\' back to the tavern... Just go to invisible room.\" Answered Kwartz. \"Bird and the guy, go to the second temple balcony.\" Just then all disappeared from the NPC Room.
\"Damn it.\" Muttered Cad.
\"The trace was completed.\" Said Tmed. \"We have their position and the birdies are standing by...\"
\"Order the strike.\" Added Cad.
\"Thems not out yet...\" Whispered Drey.
\"Dost thou believe it now, Karyuu?\" The Enkidukai received a tell from Draklar.
\"Less than before...\"
\"Whate\'er... We shall meet back in the Crystal Blue.\"
\"Gotcha.\"
Draklar moved to the invisible room and soon logged out from the Planetrix. Soon after, Karyuu and Unitearica got onto the balcony. The Enkidukai quickly logged out, but before Unitearica could do the same, Drey teleported himself to his location.
\"Mr. Unitearica...\" He spoken.
Unitearica moved away a bit and glanced at the temple well. He then turned back to the Game Master.
\"Run, guy. Run!\" Kwartz sent him a private message, but Unitearica wasn\'t moving. He only stared at the fierce Game Master.
\"What is he doing?\" Asked Karyuu.
Draklar glanced at the console. \"He be\'th beginning to believe...\"

*wild applause* :D How exciting!

more more I want more!!!! :D

Come on Drak, bring it on home. I have got to finish reading this, so far ur doing a really awesome job at capturing the movie\'s essence and applying the PS theme, almost finished.... :D :)) :] :rolleyes: 8)

Chapter XII
Unitearica and Drey started casting fireballs at each other. Explosions filled the whole balcony, but neither of them got hit. With high skill they dodged every blow, until the shooting stopped.
\"You are out of mana.\" Said Drey.
\"So are you...\"
Drey equipped himself with dual daggers and started walking towards Unitearica, who decided to go with a Dark Longsword and a Scorched Battleaxe. They started swinging their weapons, which with each attack made an odd metallic sound. Drey scratched the Ylian few times and seemingly was taking the lead.
\"Im goings to enjoy banning you, Mr. Unitearica.\" Drey started approaching him once again. Unitearica looked up to the Game Master and made another swings with his weapons. Drey wasn\'t prepared for that and after losing some hit points, had to move back. Unitearica wasn\'t stopping, he kept walking after the Game Master, sending powerful blows. But finally Drey blocked it and was about to counter-attack. He pushed the Ylian at the wall and in rapid speed kept punching him with his daggers. Once Unitearica was almost out of hit points, the Game Master threw him away. \"I wins.\" Spoke Drey. \"Now, do you hear that, Mr. Unitearica? That is the sound of Invetabelty... Invitablty*... sure thing*. That is the sound of me typing the ban command. o/ Mr. Unitearica.\"
\"My name...\" Unitearica stood up. \"Is Uni\'o!\" Said that, he sent a loud battlecry and smashed Drey with his weapons. The Game Master fell to the ground, dead. Unitearica was about to log out, but Drey already respawned and teleported himself back to the balcony. Unitearica jumped down and rushed to the temple well, soon finding himself in the dungeons.
\"What happened?\" Asked Karyuu.
\"I dunno, the mushroom just started growin\' on the lemon...\" Kwartz shrugged.
\"Kwartz... The console.\"
\"Oh, umm... We lost him...\"
\"The birdies be coming.\" Draklar approached them.
\"Birdies?\" Karyuu lowered her ears. \"How long?\"
\"Five, behaps six minutes. Get ready for jumping down.\"
\"We have to wait until he\'s out...\"
\"I know, Karyuu, worry not. He be\'th going to make it.\"
\"Mr. Weirdo,\" Unitearica sent a private message to Kwartz. \"Get me the hell out of here!\"
\"No prob. Head for the forbidden doorway.\"
Unitearica got to the crossroad. \"Uh-oh... Help. Need a little help.\"
\"Uhm... the way... to your left.\" Once Kwartz said that, Unitearica turned to the left path. \"No, the other left.\" He turned again. \"Or maybe was first left... Try the third left...\"
\"Ahh, forget it.\" Unitearica took a random turn. After struggling with the corridors, he finally got to the forbidden doorway. He moved to the wall and started climbing it. After a while he was down on the platform. Unitearica crossed the door and walked down the stairs, quickly turning to right.
\"o/\" Drey was already standing there, ready to ban the Ylian.
\"Sorry. Unknown command (use /help).\"
\"Hmm...\"
\"Sorry. Unknown command (use /help).\"
\"Sorry. Unknown command (use /help).\"
\"Sorry. Unknown command (use /help).\"
\"Sorry. Unknown command (use /help).\"
\"You have banned \'unitearica@planetrix.it\' off of the server.\"
\"\\o/\" Said Drey.
\"Check him.\" Muttered Cad.
Tmed checked the players online. \"He\'s gone.\"
\"Goodbye, Mr. Unitearica.\"
Drey teleported himself back to the other Game Masters. They were about to go away, when suddenly something unexpected happened. Unitearica appeared back on the platform. All the Game Masters started typing the ban command.
\"No friggin\' way...\" Said Unitearica.
\"\'Unitearica\' is not a valid player name.\" Received all the Game Masters.
Unitearica glitched into wall, causing a serious lag and bugging the system. Drey, who stood the closest couldn\'t even move. After a while his character got deleted. The other Game Masters rushed away at once. Just then Unitearica logged out and returned to the Crystal Blue.
\"Quick! Jump down!\" Uttered Draklar just before jumping off the bridge. Before the birdies came, the whole group was already gone.
\"You must enter a petition question/description after \'/petition\'\"
\"Hmm... Alright...\" Unitearica started typing the command once again. \"/petition I know you\'re out there. I can detect you now. I know that you\'re afraid. You\'re afraid of us. You\'re afraid of change. I don\'t know the future. I don\'t write this petition to tell you how this is going to end. I write it to tell you how it\'s going to begin. I\'m going to send this petition and then I\'m going to show these players what you don\'t want them to see. I\'m going to show them a game without fee, a game without tyranny and controls, without the word \'soon\' and endless waiting for updates, a game where anything is possible. Where we go from there... Is a choice... I leave to you...\"

Wow Draklar, that was so wonderful/hilarious/scaringly acurate 8o
I give this story four thumbs up (two being my own and two being from random passerbys who don\'t need them). Your abilities continue to impress/scare me.
