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?\"
