[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]I search for my images on Google and try to find the best quality one's I can but there are a lot of other search engines out there that could turn up better results with higher quality pictures.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Awesome. Right after I read about this on James' myO, I began working on my button, lol. Actually, I didn't get to making any buttons until today because I wasn't on the correct computer with the right program...but, anyways, this is the only one I have for right now. More will be up later, though.[/color][/size][/font] [color=darkslateblue][img]http://img20.photobucket.com/albums/v61/DDG14/Banners/ddg_button1.png[/img][/color] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]EDIT: Here are some more.

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kayla found a sort of rock and stood upon it. She stared out over the large group. "Well, congratulations everyone. We've defeated Phase 2. Phase 2 of 8. Now, I know you all must be tired and relieved but the work is not over yet. We all must train and push ourselves to the limits for the next fight. The next fight with Phase 3, Magus. We also may have another foe. As I've heard from Kia, shortly after her fight with Innis her and her friends had an encounter with Cubia."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Cubia? What?"[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Who? Cube a what?"[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Huh?"[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Everyone was confused. Kayla smacked her palm against her forehead. "Sorry, Cubia. It's a large monster that chases after the Bearer of the Bracelet. It appears whenever the Bearer has an encounter with Aura, the strange girl we've met in dungeons if anyone remembers. The Bearer is of course, Kite." They all mumbled their understanding and continued listening.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"So, if everyone would please, train regularly. I'd suggest atleast level 50 for our fight with Magus. You may all leave if you wish." she finished and dismissed everyone. Most of them Gated Out or Logged Out. The only people remaining were Sakura, Komo, Kia and Elk.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Hey, Kayla, you wanna go to an area with us? For training, fun, and maybe so private chat away from listening ears?" Sakura yelled out to her. Kayla nodded. "Right after I meet with Helba and talk to Krueger." she explained.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---[font=Arial]Λ-Cultural-City-Carmina-Gadelica---[/font][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple][font=Arial][/font][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple][font=Arial][color=darkslateblue]"Ok Helba. We'll be ready, don't worry." Kayla said and Helba Logged Out. Kayla turned to Krueger. "Hey, Trev, uh, Krueger, you want to come with Sakura, Kia, Elk, Komo and I to an area? It'd be nice to catch up and to fill you in and stuff."[/color][/font][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple][font=Arial][/font][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple][font=Arial][color=darkslateblue]Krueger nodded. "That'd be nice, Kayla. I'd love it." he said and followed the group to the Chaos Gate.[/color][/font][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple][font=Arial][color=#483d8b][/color][/font][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][font=Arial][color=purple]---[font=Arial]Λ-Sickened-Talisman-Haunted Land---[/font][/color][/font][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][font=Arial][color=purple][font=Arial][/font][/color][/font][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][font=Arial][color=purple][font=Arial][color=darkslateblue]"Mumyn Lei! Suvi Lei!" Kayla yelled and put one monster to sleep and paralyzed the other. After finishing the battle, the group moved into the last room and stared at the Gott Statue.[/color][/font][/color][/font][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][font=Arial][color=purple][font=Arial][color=#483d8b][/color][/font][/color][/font][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][font=Arial][color=purple][font=Arial][color=#483d8b]"I haven't seen one of those in awhile..." Krueger mumbled as the group approached the treasure chest. Kayla opened the chest and handed out the treasure to everyone equally.[/color][/font][/color][/font][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][font=Arial][color=purple][font=Arial][color=#483d8b][/color][/font][/color][/font][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][font=Arial][color=purple][font=Arial][color=#483d8b]"So, what does everyone want to talk about?" she questioned, sitting down in front of where the Gott Statue had previously stood.[/color] [/font][/color][/font][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]OOC- You can't expect me to post everyday. I have limited internet time and I'm mostly on during the weekends. I'm rarely on during the week so please take into consideration that I can't be on everyday to post.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Also, about the Renamon attack, I didn't do as much research on all of Renamon's attacks as I should have but, thanks, now I know another.

"Well, that was very rude. Oh well, many humans are these days..." she mumbled. [i]Should I follow her? I don't know. She is a human but, I don't think she'd enjoy my company, nor would I enjoy hers. I guess I'll just continue on my way and find someone else. Maybe we'll meet again someday.[/i] Kira thought to herself as she, Renamon, and Veemon made there way through another path in the forest.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]A Golden Rapidmon. I've never seen one of those before. They must be very rare and a Triceramon as well. You don't see Digimon like that very often.[/color][/size][/font][/i] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font][/i] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Renamon interupted her thinking. "Kira, are you aware of our surroundings?" she asked. Kira looked around. "Ah, a stream. Come Renamon, Veemon, I'm sure you must be thirsty." she said and smiled.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]The two Digimon followed her to the crystal clear stream. Kira pulled out her utility knife and hit a button that released a water purifier (sp?). She scooped some water up into it and placed her open canteen beneath it. Clean and un-contaminated water poured into the canteen. Kira proceeded to drink a little of the water before handing it to Renamon and Veemon.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Now, don't drink it all at once. We need to make this last."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]The two Digimon nodded and drank just enough water to satisfy their needs. Veemon handed Kira the canteen back. She strapped it over her shoulder and led the two Digimon away from the stream.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Thank god for this utility knife. Who knows what kind of things could have been lurking in that water, just waiting to infiltrate our bodies and make us sick.

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kayla sprinted to Kia and skidded to a stop as she almost passed her. "No! Kia!" she yelled and recited a recovery spell. "Phal Repth!" she yelled and aimed her target at Kia, even though, she knew that everyone in the surrounding area would be healed.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]As Kia fatefully closed her eyes, Kayla scrounged through her items. She used Recovery Drinks, Health Drinks, Health Potions, and a Noble Wine before dropping to her knees before Kia. "Kia..." she mumbled and in the real world, wiped a tear from her eye.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Everyone had realised that Kayla was not fighting anymore, but they were all too busy fighting Innis to take notice of where she had gone. As Kayla grieved over what seemed to be the end of her friend, the trapped player, one key asset to returning the world to a normal state, Kia, she opened her eyes slightly.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Th...thank you, Kayla..." she said quietly. Kayla's expression changed from sad to happy in an instant. "Kia! You're, you're alive!" she said overwhelmed with joy. Kia gave a small smile.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Oh Kia, I don't know what I would have done, what any of us would have done without you." Kayla muttered while helping Kia up from the ground. "I'm sure you could have gotten along fine without me." Kia said.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kayla shook her head. "No. You're knowledge of the phases is essential to our mission. Without you, it'd be pretty hard to know what we needed to do or what it says in the Epitaph about that certain phase. Don't ever think that you're not needed. We all need you. I need you. Even though, I asked you to stay behind, that was for your own safety. I know that if you really needed to talk to me, or to any of us, that Helba would have showed you how." Kayla smiled at Kia and Kia returned the smile. "Now, lets go get Innis!" she announced and ran back to the fight with Kia.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Sakura noted her return and made her way over to her while still slashing at her. "I'm sorry I got so pissed at you earlier. I guess that I just overreacted a little when I learned that you knew all along..." Kayla shook her head. "I meant to tell you," she cast '[color=black]MeAni Kruz[/color]' on Innis. "but, I just forgot and got a little caught up with what we're doing. I'm sorry for not telling you sooner though."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Now that Kayla and Sakura had apologised to each other and things were more of how they should, they really began to fight their best. Attacking Innis every chance they got. After what seemed like a million years, Innis' '[color=green]Protect Break[/color]' swelled up around it.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Do it! Do it now Kite!" Kayla and everyone else yelled. Kite nodded and a bright, pixellated bracelet appeared around his wrist. It opened as he screamed '[color=blue]Data Drain[/color]!'. Yellow streams of data shot out from the bracelet and slammed into Innis. They went through Innis and turned it into stones connected together, or, better known as the 'Epitaph in stone'.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#008000][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]The group now continued to fight the horrible monster in its weakened state.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Well, guess I'll have to put in my say.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial Black][size=1][color=#483d8b]Digimon:[font=Arial] I enjoyed the first two seasons, the whole concept of some special kids who get their own monster partner was pretty cool, at first. But by the third season, I had lost my interest because of the repetiveness...and especially because they incorporated the card game into it and I had always thought the card game was dull and boring. I also didn't like the fact that none of the original characters from seasons 1 and 2 were not in season 3 but instead they had several adult characters who looked very similar to characters from seasons 1 and 2 and they even had a few of the same voices. I really lost my interest when watching Season 4. I'm not too fond of the idea that the people actually turned into Digimon. That just really turned me away, right there. I also don't enjoy how after they defeated a Digimon, they absorbed the data. That seems kind of cruel to me.[/font][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]I still like Digimon, in general. I do somewhat enjoy watching the show, despite the things I didn't like in Seasons 3 and 4 but it's always a pleasure to watch the first two seasons because they bring back wonderful memories of when I was younger.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial Black][size=1][color=#483d8b]Pokemon:[font=Arial] The Pokemon craze has kind of came and gone yet they still keep making more and more episodes and such, I believe, I haven't been able to watch an episode I didn't see around two years ago in awhile. Some significant things that make this Anime really bad is the repetiveness. Yes, all they do is the same thing every episode as some other people have mentioned. Another thing is, they keep making more and more Pokemon they Ash and his friends and everyone else have to capture. You'd think that after this long they'd think of something new, right? The games I'm talking about in general. Each game it's the same thing. New Pokemon to capture, new gyms to defeat, new trainers to battle. Only a few new elements have been added since the release of Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire for the GBA. I've played both of these games and beaten both of them, the only thing I'm struggling on is capturing all of the Pokemon. I only have around 20 to go but that's beside the point, heh. I enjoyed both of these games, the graphics were exceptionally better than the original games but the thing that bothered me was that you couldn't go back to other regions and fight those gyms, something you could do in Gold, Silver, and Crystal.[/font][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Ok, I'll stop complaining about the games and say this, yes, I still watch Pokemon. This is because, once again, the thing about capturing your own monster and being able to command it appeals to me and, I also think that this could be a better Anime, if it wasn't a show written for kids. If it was more for teenagers or adults I'd definitely watch it as much as possible but the storylines are written for children and that's why it turns away a lot of people.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial Black][size=1][color=#483d8b]Inuyasha: [font=Arial]Inuyasha really used to be an Anime I liked to watch but, for some reason I just don't like it anymore. I can't explain why, maybe it's the fact that one of my best friends at school has a crush on Inuyasha and she talks about him all the time. Yeah, maybe that's why I don't like Inuyasha anymore.[/font][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial Black][size=1][color=#483d8b]Yu Yu Hakusho: [font=Arial]In the beginning this show was really cool but after everyone began to watch it and I'd go to forums and stuff about Anime, including this one when the Yu Yu Hakusho forum was up in v6, all I'd hear is 'OMG! HIEI IS LIKE SO TOTALLY HOT!!!!!' or 'Kurama is liek so dreamy!!!' and stuff like that. That kind of stuff irritates me. The show also really began to get boring after I noticed how they seem to do a lot of the same stuff in each show as well, search for demons, find demons, fight demons, kill demons, etc, etc.[/font][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Well, that's all I have for now.[/color][/size][/font]

[color=#000080][font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kira had headed into the forest with Renamon and Veemon, hoping to find possibly another human. Veemon followed closely behind Kira and Renamon, afraid it might get attacked again. [/color][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080][font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]"So Veemon, do you or did you ever have a Tamer of some sort?" Kira questioned as the three walked through a small handful of real and digital trees. It nodded. "I used to have one, but he freaked out and left me after the worlds went to war. He was afraid I would become like the wild ones. I've been alone ever since."[/color][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080][font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]"Well, you wont be now." Kira comforted Veemon.[/color][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080][font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Renamon began looking around. "Kira, I believe I hear something, up ahead." Kira nodded and checked her Digivice. "Two Digimon, one Ultimate and one Rookie up ahead and there's also a...another human!" she exclaimed and began running in the direction of the two Digimon and the other human.[/color][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080][font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Renamon and Veemon followed her into an area where the trees weren't so thick. Kira continued on until she found the group she had detected. A Rapidmon and Hawkmon were about to fight. Another human was standing back, behind the fight.[/color][/size][/font][/color] [color=#000080][/color] [color=#000080][font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kira looked at Renamon and Veemon. "C'mon, lets help them out." she said and the two Digimon charged into the fight. Meanwhile, the other girl had moved over to where Kira was and greeted her with a strange smile.[/color][/size][/font] [/color]

[color=darkslateblue][font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kayla looked around the area. Data streamed through the air with patches of raw data showing through on the ground. Kite had had to Gate Hack to get everyone into the area. "Well, whether or not Sakura's here, it doesn't matter. We have to fight Innis." Kayla informed the group and they all half-heartedly nodded. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Leaving behind Sakura was a crucial move. Without here, they would be a man down and against a Phase, that could be your downfall. But they were determined to go on without her. They all knew that if they didn't, the fate of all the comatose players and the whole online and offline world was at stake. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kayla took action and led the group around the field, opening up all the portals and fighting with the monsters that came out. Kayla's level was now 40 and she was feeling confident. She checked everyone else's levels before heading into the dungeon. "Good. We're all at level 35 or higher. No one should have much trouble going through this dungeon so lets go!" [/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]The group plundered on into the dungeon. They fought monster after monster, went through room after room, and basement level after level until they reached B5. As Kayla approached the purple flames spurting up from the floor before the last room, she turned to the group. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]"This is your last chance. If you don't want to fight, gate out now." she said to the group. Everyone looked at each other, waiting for someone to gate out. When no one did, they all looked back to Kayla. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]"What we are about to face is something that is invincible. Something that may or may not have put many people into coma's. Something that has the ability to put people into coma's. Something that is so sinister that many people mistake it for something other than what it is. After all, it is [i]the Mirage of Deceit.[/i]" Just as Kayla said this, something on the wall to her right shifted. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]She, and everyone else, took a glance at it. It was indeed Innis. Kayla frowned. "Innis...I'm not afraid of you. I'll get you and the rest of the Phases!" she began waving her wand around and saying a spell. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kite then charged at Innis and sliced it a few times. Innis shimmered for a minute and then disappeared. "Where'd it go?" someone in the group asked. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kayla shook her head. "I don't know but c'mon, it's probably in the next room." she said and led the group into the next room while once again, she recited Innis' part of the Epitaph.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial Black][size=1][color=black][i]Innis, the Mirage of Deceit [/i][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial Black][size=1][color=black][i]betray all with the flawed image [/i][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial Black][size=1][color=black][i]and did aid the Wave.[/i][/color][/size][/font] [/color][color=#000080][font=Arial Black][size=1][color=darkslateblue][/color][/size][/font][/color]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]I've got a lot of .hack//SIGN pics, I'm sort of a 'collector' so I decided to have a go at the banner.

You three can feel pain and I don't want you to get hurt or anything." the three nodded, even though they were a bit disappointed that they couldn't come but they knew that it was better if they didn't.

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kira woke up to her Digivice. It was beeping. She looked at the screen. "One perhaps two Digimon...attacking a house just outside of town. C'mon, lets go Renamon!" she declared and ran outside with Renamon.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Renamon took the lead and Kira picked up speed to keep up. After about five minutes, they reached the area of which her Digivice was indicating that some Digimon were. [i]Allright, if there are Digimon here attacking, then maybe there are some humans here as well![/i][/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font][/i] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Renamon charged towards an object that was moving in the distance. It was a Digimon, but it wasn't alone, neither was it attacking. It was the one being attacked. A Kuwagamon, miles away from its forest home, was attacking the small Digimon.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Hey! You! Kuwagamon!" Kira yelled at the large bug. It turned around and snapped it's pinchers at her. Kira was undeterred nor frightened by the large Digimon. She glanced over at Renamon who was standing nearby, awaiting orders.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Get it Renamon!" Kira yelled. Renamon nodded and sprang upwards, toward Kuwagamon. It pinched at her, but she quickly evaded each time.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Renamon kept up a brisk pace, evading each failed attempt by Kuwagamon to hit her. She was wearing down the Kuwagamon, exactly as she had planned. [/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]She finally decided it was the right time to eradicate the Kuwagamon. "Diamond Storm!" she yelled and sent a shower of ice crystals hurtling towards the Kuwagamon. It was hit by each one and suddenly, dissolved into thin air. It's data remained for a few seconds.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kira hesitated. [i]Should I absorb it?[/i] No. I wont. I wont. I don't like to do that. It's too cruel and I'm afraid Renamon will think that I might do it to her one day, too.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]The data disappeared and the small Digimon that had been attacked frightenedly took a step towards Kira. The Digimon was a Veemon. "Thanks for, for saving me." it shakily said and looked at Renamon. Renamon gave it a small smile and so did Kira.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]It now seemed as if Kira and Renamon had made a new friend. One who might be able to help them out.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue][/color][/size][/font][font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Despite Mai's continued saying that she agreed, Kayla didn't believe her. [i]Well, she is somewhat right. A lot of things have happened because of her. But that's besides the point. Mai needs to understand that everything happens for a reason...just as...as...what I just did...[/i][/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font][/i] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kayla glanced at Mai who was still resting on her bed. Kayla sighed and stared down at her gun. [i]What have I done? [color=black]You've killed Shuno, that's what. [/color][color=darkslateblue]Yes, that's right. Well, now atleast I can relate to everyone a bit better. [/color][color=black]But is that really what you want? [/color][color=darkslateblue]No. It's not. I want to relate to my family better but, if things keep going this way, I may never see them again. [/color][color=black]Maybe that's a good thing, though. If you never saw them again, then you'd never have to worry about trying to get along. [/color][color=darkslateblue]But I want to see my family again. Someday. It doesnt' have to be soon. But someday. [/color][color=black]Someday, eh? When this is all over, right? [/color][color=darkslateblue]When this is all over...who knows when that'll be.[/color][/i][/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font][/i] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kayla looked up from her gun. She'd been debating with herself, something she did often to try and come to some kind of a conclusion or decision but, this time, it just left her confused. [i]Do I want to go home and see my family again? Or, do I want to stay with my friends, here?[/i][/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font][/i] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Questions, questions. All of these questions that she had been forced to answer in the last day. She didn't know if she could take the questions anymore but she knew she had no choice. [i]I'll stick with my friends here. Until this is all over and then go home. And, I'd take Mai with me. She shouldn't be alone. Of course, she does have Knives...but, I need her. For a little while atleast. She can help me with my family issues.[/i][/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font][/i] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Maybe Mai was right. She was playing a big part in everyone's lives at the moment but whatever happened, she shouldn't be blaming it all on herself. The stress could kill her.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Tomorrow.

"Kill me. Kill me now before I must take action and force you to do it." Kayla narrowed her eyes. "I...I'll..."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"You'll what?" he asked.[/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font][/i] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Why must I be faced with this horrible decision? The decision to take the life from another. This shouldn't be a question I have to answer. I'm too young to be answering this question. To be making this decision. But I must. I must make this decision for the better. If I wish for my friends to live then I must answer it.[/color][/size][/font][/i] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font][/i] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]To kill or not to kill. That is the question.[/color][/size][/font][/i] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kayla smiled. She was quoting Shakespeare in her head, well, somewhat. "Have you come to a decision now?" he asked.[/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Should I?[/color][/size][/font][/i] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=red]Kayla, do it. For the sake of all our lives. For Mai.

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]It's only on [i]one[/i] post for me, though. From what I can see, you can only turn off [i]all[/i] the comments. Not just the comments on [i]one[/i] post.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=teal]EDIT: So far, (after going through multiple MyOtaku accounts on my friends list) I've discovered that I cannot add a comment to anyone's post that was posted today, March 21st, 2004.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=teal][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=teal]I checked people archives and other posts on the front page and saw that they all had an 'Add Comments' link but it was just the March 21st, 2004 posts that did not. This is all very strange indeed.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]It's very strange that you just brought this up now. A few minutes ago I was just at a members MyOtaku page and noticed that the 'Add Comments' link was missing. I haven't checked any other MyOtaku pages but it was puzzling to me, especially since I really wanted to comment on that post.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]So, I'm also wondering why this is happening as well.[/color][/size][/font]

[color=#800080][font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kayla's eyes welled up with tears. Mai's words hit hard. She was right. Kayla had a family to go home to. Mai didn't. Kayla quickly wiped the tears from her eyes and faced Shuno. "Shuno, you're threatening m-my life, Mai's life, and everyone else here's life...I won't let you continue. Not for anything. You will die here. I wont let you continue what you are doing. I wont. Now, prepare to die!" she said, enraged.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Shuno smirked at her in a malicious way. "You can't kill me, little girl." he egged her on. She realised she was unarmed and quickly looked to her friends for help. Stocatta stepped up and threw Kayla a gun. "Go get him, Kayla. Don't worry, we'll back you up." she reassured Kayla. Kayla caught the gun and nodded.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]She cocked the gun and aimed it at Shuno. "You can't kill me. You've never actually killed anyone before. You don't have the guts!" Shuno said, fueling Kayla's rage. She noticed Shuno's Saxophone lieing on the ground near her. She shot the mouthpiece and began approaching Shuno. For every step Kayla took, Shuno would take one back while still egging her on.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]"C'mon Kayla. Shoot me, right here." he indicated his chest by pointing to it. Kayla's hand began shaking. It was true, she'd never [i]actually[/i] killed anyone before. She'd only fatally injured someone before. "Chicken, buck, buck, buck, buckaw!" he started moving his arms like a chicken.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]It was then that Kayla snapped. "I am not a chicken. I am the one who is going to kill you!" and with that, she shot.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=navy]Cliffhanger![/color][/size][/font] [/color]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kayla gritted her teeth as the blast rocked everything around her. Then she saw Mai fall over. She saw Knives run to her and heard Mai tell him to go get Shuno and that she'd be fine.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kayla jumped the last story from the balcony she had climbed down to while Mai was checking Shuno. She landed expertly and emerged on the street at the same time as Julie, Nick, Knives, Stocatta and everyone else.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Shuno, how can you still be alive?" Kayla questioned, cocking her gun and carefully aiming. Shuno didn't answer. He just smirked and put his lips to his Saxophone again.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Everyone prepared for the coming blow. Shuno blew on his saxophone, causing a few surrounding buildings to collapse. Kayla jumped away from some falling debris while still keeping her aim steady on Shuno, in case he tried anything else.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Stocatta had almost been impaled by shattered glass, while Knives was covered in dust. He had been a little too close to a building while it was collapsing. Everyone else hadn't been close enough to a building to get injured.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Shuno smiled and put his lips to his Saxophone once again. [i]No more misses nice and patient girl...[/i]she thought to herself and began shooting at Shuno's Saxophone. Upon cue, everyone else did as well.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Shuno wasn't falling for it, though. He just dodged the bullets repeatedly. Kayla stopped shooting to reload. While doing so, she became an open target and as everyone else continued shooting at Shuno's Saxophone and he himself, he made his way toward her.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]He was unnoticed and took perfect advantage of it. He got to her and grabbed her around the neck with his saxophone. Holding her against him, he began choking her while everyone stopped shooting, seeing how the danger of the situation had now escalated.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]If anyone shot at Shuno or his Saxophone, they would risk killing Kayla in the process and that was exactly the kind of situation Shuno wanted.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Shuno had grabbed Kayla's gun, leaving her no way of defending herself from Shuno as he choked her.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=navy]This is a just a small question but, where is everyone? I mean, what happened to Dragus, Mike, Shonya, Sarah and the people who are playing Shuno, Dragus, Mike, Shonya, and Sarah? Have they like disappeared from the face of the earth or what?[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]"Kira, don't you think you should be a little more careful?"[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Oh Renamon. Stop worrying.

Renamon quickly followed behind her. Kira looked up at the only remaining skyscraper in the destroyed city. She searched every window for some sign of life before moving on.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kira walked another block. She saw only the remains of houses. Every once in awhile some tattered clothes strewn here or there with some bones around them. It disgusted her, so she preferred not to look.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kira was just a young teenager. Trying to live her life in a world full of violence, destruction, and disaster. She was searching for any sign of human life that was left. She was trying to find anyone who was willing to help restore the peace of the two worlds.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Ever since the peace between the two worlds ended, she had been trying, along with her parents, to restore it.

Kira kept Reremon safe and continued her loving care for it. Only a few days after becoming Reremon, it digivolved to Viximon. Now at the in-training stage, Viximon began to protect Kira from all dangers that she faced.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]As Kira and Viximon wandered from town to town, searching for other humans and even other digimon, who were willing to help, they encountered certain Digimon who were determined to 'exterminate' any human or any Digimon friends with or in contact with a human.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]The intensity and number of these encounters, and also Kira's love for Viximon, allowed it to Digivolve to what it now is, Renamon.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kira noticed an oddly shaped boulder. She proceeded to pick it up when it [i]sprang to life[/i]. It jumped up and stared at Kira with an enraged look. "Kira--"[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Don't even say it Renamon." Kira snapped at Renamon. "C' mon. This Digimon is small. We can take it." Kira said. Renamon charged into a fierce battle with the Digimon.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]It was a Gotsumon. A rock-like, hot-headed Digimon. It was gutsy, and wouldn't give up a fight easily.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]The Gotsumon threw a boulder at Renamon. She jumped out of the way and conjured up a storm of ice crystals. "Diamond Storm!" she yelled and the ice crystals flew at a lightning speed toward the Gotsumon. It managed to dodge a few but was hit by the rest.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Gotsumon looked around and spotted an old, crumbling building nearby. It ran to the building and picked up a large part of the front wall. It threw the wall at Renamon, thinking Renamon wouldn't be able to get away. Renamon was fast, but not that fast but Renamon had a surprise of her own.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Kohenkyo!" she yelled and her and the Gotsumon disappeared. A few seconds later they both reappeared, with Gotsumon where Renamon should have been and Renamon where Gotsumon had been.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Gotsumon was hit by concrete wall and knocked out. Renamon walked to Kira to make sure she was allright.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Am I allright? Of course." Kira answered. "You did a great job in that battle Renamon." Kira congratulated and hugged Renamon. "C'mon, it's getting late. We should find some shelter." she suggested and the two headed towards the nearest building that looked safe.[/color][/size][/font]
