[font=Arial][size=1][color=indigo]I'll give it a shot, I guess. It might be a bit hard for me, because I wont always be able to be on my dad's computer to use the graphics program on it (I mean, hey, I have to go back to my mom's some time.) to make the banners and such, but, if I do make it, I'll try my best to get a banner finished within the alotted time.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#4b0082][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#4b0082]*searches through computer for about an hour, looking for an appropriate banner* Ah, here we go. ^_^[/color][/size][/font] [img]http://img20.photobucket.com/albums/v61/DDG14/Banners/giovanni2banner2.png[/img] [font=Arial][size=1][color=indigo]Surprisingly, I made this a very, very long time ago, but I really think that its a lot better than some of my more recent banners, heh.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=indigo]"Ouch..." Kayla rubbed her head as the Silver Knight beat her, Sakura and Sora senseless after having retrieved his helmet; which was only because the helmet had curved in the wrong direction as Kayla had kicked it and it landed right back on the Silver Knight's head. He'd gotten their weapons(who knows how that happened), leaving them defenseless as he thwacked them all on the head with his sword. "I'll teach you! You wont ever steal my helmet again!" he yelled triumphiantly and finally stopped and walked off.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#4b0082]Kayla quickly stood up and grabbed her staff from where the Silver Knight had tossed it. She stroked it, causing a few players to look at her strangely. Sora and Sakura told them all not to ask before they both grabbed their own weapons and dragged Kayla off to the Chaos Gate, with Elk trailing behind, chuckling slightly after watching what the Silver Knight had done to them.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---Net Slum---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=indigo]Immediately after warping into Net Slum, Kayla ran off and left Sora and Elk standing there with Helba, seeing as Sakura was off on an 'adventure' with her dad. "Where could she be going?" Elk asked. Helba smiled slightly. "Maybe she's just wanting to talk with the AI's. You know how she is about them." she said with a slight mysterious air to her voice.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#4b0082]"Plaird? Where's Plaird gone?" Kayla questioned one of the AI's after looking around for Plaird, a strange AI that she liked to try to 'teach'. "Plaird? I don't know. I really really don't know." A small, 2-dimensional girl AI named Sconk answered. Kayla sat down on a box as an AI walked up to her. "Plaird was with the man who's head is as that of a Pig. Plaird disappeared and the Pig ran fast..." Dorin muttered as it walked past. "Oddly enough, I understood that, Dorin." Kayla said, laughing slightly.[/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#4b0082]So Lios is upping his work in deleting AI's and trapped players, or as the CC Corp sees them as, trash data. I'll get him...Plaird was...was...my friend, I guess you could say. Of course, all AI's are my friends but, I liked Plaird, damnit. He was cool. I'll get that Pig-Head...[/color][/size][/font][/i]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=indigo][/color][/size][/font][font=Arial][size=1][color=indigo]On the occasion of my new avi and banner and such, I figured I'd change my font color. Dark Slate Blue was getting old anyway...[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#4b0082]---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#4b0082][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#4b0082]"Thanks a lot, Helba." Kayla, Sora and Sakura thanked and Helba smiled. "Of course. Its always one of my top priorities to protect those who need protected from that Pig-Head." she said and then mysteriously wandered off into Net Slum.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#4b0082][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#4b0082]Sakura turned to Kayla who had sat down on a box and was still examining the staff she had received from Sora and Sakura. "So, what'd you do after, uh, the little 'accident'?" she asked. Kayla looked up at her as she stored the staff in her inventory. "Oh, I wandered around Mac Anu for a little while before heading daringly heading over to Carmina Gadelica. I was there for a little while before Lios discovered me and attempted to capture me so as to delete me. He didn't get the chance, though. I hacked into the system, created the wormhole and sent myself here." she explained. Sakura nodded. "So that's what that thing you came out of was. A wormhole in the system. I get it." she said nodding, obviously [i]not[/i] getting it.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#4b0082][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#4b0082]Kayla just shook her head and laughed. "Right, Sakura. So, anything else we ought to do today?" Kayla asked, wanting Sora and Sakura's opinions. "Maybe we could torture the Silver Knight more. Or trick Lios or something." the two suggested. Kayla grinned mischieviously; Sora and Sakura both did the same.[/color][/size][/font]

[QUOTE=younggun142]Dear.....well...everyone, I am in need of some help with the game .hack\\sign. I do not know what to do with these books. I guess one will increase your level....it's a prize i guess.....and the other one i have is supposed to negate enemy's attacks. I think that one is called the iron book. If anyone knows how to use them pease let me know. thank you :) younggun142[/QUOTE] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]As AzureWolf said, you'll find out later why you can't use the books. I believe its sometime in MUTATION. Or it might be after that, I can't be too sure of when it was.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]But, don't worry about not being able to use them now. You'll find out later [i]why[/i] you're not able to use them. I think that they general reason they were given to you is to contribute to the fact that and help you understand that [spoiler]Kite's character data is very well protected, seeing as they were given to Kite as some kind of antivirus to remove the Bracelet from his character. But of course, that didn't work.[/spoiler][/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kayla slowly walked around Mac Anu, staring absentmindedly towards the ground, ignoring other players. She wasn't really interested in doing anything now. It was too annoying to keep getting PKed by everyone and such so her solution was to avoid everyone for a little while so she could get her head straight.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]It didn't take long before she became bored of Mac Anu and decided to take a little risk and visit Carmina Gadelica. She'd be fine, as long as she stayed out of the sights of Lios; and even if he did catch her, she'd easily escape to somewhere else, most likely Net Slum where she'd have the protection of Helba and the other Hackers.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]As she warped in, she quickly glanced around. Seeing no sign of Lios anywhere, she quickly headed over to the Magic Shop, her favorite place to hang out. She sat on the small concrete wall, in the shadows of the building that towered above her. She sat and thought for a little while.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]The next Phase is Fidchell...what do I know about Fidchell...[/color][/size][/font][/i] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font][/i] [font=Arial Black][size=1][color=darkslateblue][i]With the Wave, Fidchell, the power to tell the dark future, hope darkens, sadness and despair rule.[/i][/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Arial Black][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font][/i] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Dark future? What's that supposed to mean?

I hope its not something to do with the comatose patients. I really hope its not. Maybe Kia will know. Yeah, Kia, Helba and Kite should know about it...it did happen only three years ago.[/font][/color][/size][/font][/i] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font][/i] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kayla then snapped out of her thinking as she heard footsteps approaching where she had begun to lay. Sure she was shrouded in the shadows of the building next to her, but, any player who looked real close could see her; and she didn't want that player to be Lios.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]But, alas, of all the players it could have been, it was Lios. He was walking past where she was laying, making his hourly rounds of the Server. She quickly sat up and hid in the shadows more. He walked down towards the Magic Shop and then began his way back towards her. She restrained herself from moving, even the tiniest bit, for fear of being seen.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]As Lios passed her without the slightest indication that he had noticed her, she breathed a sigh of relief, which was a very bad mistake all in itself, for Lios stopped where he was and quickly looked around until his eyes spied the small orb on her staff, shining out in the darkness. He immediately recognized it as hers, Kayla having received the weapon free in a promotional contest shortly after she had signed up and began playing 'the World'. It was a one of kind weapon, making it easily distinguishable from others.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]As Lios approached her, in the real world, Kayla had opened up her hacking program and was entering a hack as fast she could. As she hit the enter key, a small vortex opened up behind her, showing the internal workings of 'the World'. Without fear, Kayla quickly jumped into it. It closed shortly thereafter and Lios was left standing there, growling curse words, he having been oh-so-very-close to ridding 'the World' of one of its notorious Hackers.[/color][/size][/font]

[quote name='crim15_6']I dont think that Maha has anything to do with Mia does she.I dont really know because Im only in the part where you talk with Herald in part 4.But if anyone is for sure if Maha is Mia or whatever please tell me.[/quote][left][font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]I'll answer this as best I can:[/color][/size][/font][/left] [left][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][spoiler]Macha/Maha and Mia do in fact have a lot to do with each other. Through intense research on the internet, I have uncovered that, it is thought that Morganna changed Maha(from the show) into Mia shortly after the show's last episode and she is the seen as Mia during the games (.hack//INFECTION, MUTATION, OUTBREAK and, QUARANTINE). During .hack//QUARANTINE, Mia is seen transforming into Macha (Phase 6). Then, at the end of QUARANTINE, in the dungeon of Hidden Darkside Holy Ground, Mia is seen to have changed back into Maha(from the show). Once you have defeated the dungeon of Hidden Darkside Holy Ground, however, she becomes Mia once again. [/color][/size][/font][font=Arial][size=1][color=black]So, to put it bluntly, yes, Maha(the Phase and the Maha from the show) is Mia.[/spoiler][/color][/size][/font][/left] [left][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Hope that helped. ^_^[/color][/size][/font][/left] [left][quote name='milleye']Where do people watch the series, and see the episodes?[/quote][/left] [left][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Yes, seeing as Cartoon Network has taken .hack//SIGN off the air, I'd suggest ordering the DVD's.

In MUTATION, [spoiler]the first Phase you will fight is Phase 2: Innis and it comes somewhere near the middle of the game. Then, at the end of MUTATION, you have to fight Phase 3: Magus. In OUTBREAK, the next Phases you fight are Phase 4: Fidchell which is somewhere around the middle of the game and then Phase 5: Gorre at the end of the game. And in QUARANTINE, you will first fight Phase 6: Macha, who's fight is not too far from the beginning of the game, then Phase 7: Tarvos which is somewhat after the middle and last but not least, the three part battle of Phase 8: Corbenik.[/spoiler][/color][/size][/font] [/left]

[quote name='ShadowHimura13']The game should be out in November so Pokemon Fanatic look out for Pokemon Leaf Green and Fire Red for the Gameboy Advance system.[/quote][font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]I believe you are a tad bit off there.

Don't judge a game by its graphics, music or plot, judge it by how much fun it is.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Sakura shook her head and rolled her eyes before she glanced downwards. "Uh, Kayla, who are you sitting on?" she questioned, poking a leg that was coming from what Kayla was sitting on. "Oh, this?" Kayla questioned, zapping the the object with Rai Kruz. "That's just the Silver Knight. He called me a ***** and I got a little angry." Kayla explained.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Sakura and Sora burst into fits of laughter. "A [i]little[/i] you say?" Sakura managed to get out. Kayla grinned slightly. "Yeah, just a little." she responded and began laughing herself.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]After a few more minutes, the Silver Knight began to regain his motor skills. Kayla was telling jokes along with Sakura and Sora, meaning she wasn't paying any attention to him. He glared at her for a moment before smirking. He quietly grabbed his sword from its sheath and whacked Kayla's back. She flew off him and over the side of the boat, just barely grabbing onto the edge. Sakura and Sora snickered slightly and stood back as the Silver Knight walked over to where Kayla's fingers had a tight grip on the edge of the boat. He continued smirking and began slamming his sword down in an attempt to hit Kayla's fingers.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Each time his sword came down, Kayla would quickly move her hand or remove it from the edge. He finally got fed up with trying to hit her fingers and thwacked the side of her head, dazing her. Her grip on the edge loosened and then she let go of the edge and fell into the water.[/color][/size][/font] [center][font=Arial Black][size=4][color=red]GAME OVER[/color][/size][/font][/center] [center] [/center] [left][font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]"Damn you Silver Knight." Kayla cursed and waited for the ALTIMIT Browser to load back up.[/color][/size][/font][/left]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Shea, Imi and Maia all entered the Pokemon Center and made their way over to Ryo and Kayla who were sitting on a couch, talking. Kayla spotted the three as they walked over and stood up. "So, are we all ready to head over to Petalburg City?" she asked. The four nodded and headed out the door. Kayla took up the rear of the group as they left the Pokemon Center and were soon on there way out of Oldale Town.[/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=#483d8b]"I think we're lost." Maia said, looking around, no clue at all where they were. Kayla checked her PokeNav quickly. "No, we're about halfway to Petalburg City. Don't worry. Even if we get lost we can always find our way back." Kayla explained before pointing to the general direction of Petalburg City, causing the group to change course slightly.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Or, if we get lost, you could just fly us to Petalburg City, Kayla." Imi said, remembering Kayla's Dodrio. Kayla grinned. "Of course I could, although, I highly doubt that Dodrio would be able to carry us all. Plus, you four should do things yourself. If you get lost, it shouldn't be any problem. You can easily find your way back with a map of some sort and if you get attacked, you've always got your Pokemon to defend you."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]The group walked on for a little while before a Trainer suddenly jumped out in front of them. "I challenge whomever wants to fight to a battle!" he yelled out and pulled a Pokeball off his belt.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=navy]---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=navy]Anybody can fight him, I plan on having everyone fight atleast once during their trip to Petalburg City. You can choose the Trainer's Pokemon during the fight, just keep it to what a beginning Pokemon Trainer outside of Littleroot might have. Like Wurmple, Zigzagoon or Poochyena. Pokemon along those lines. And also, don't forget that your characters should be starting to catch Pokemon by now. ^_^ I wont post again until everyone has finished with their fight with a Trainer.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kayla decided that she really didn't want to know what they had been laughing about. Instead, she meandered over to a spot near the edge of the boat where, if another situation between Sakura and the Silver Knight arose that would cause him to be pushed into the water, she could be spotted easily and avoided.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]This time, nothing physically demanded happened between the two. Instead, Sakura asked him a stupid question. "Silver Knight? Are you a Phase?" he looked at her dumbstruck. Kayla immediately cracked up. "Sakura, how can he be a Phase? For one, we don't trust him. For two, we're not close to him. And for three, we know that he exists outside of 'the World'." she explained and Sakura scratched her head sheepishly. "Oops, guess I kind of forgot. Sorry about that Knighty." she apologized before sprinting over to Balmung and asking him the same question.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kayla went back to her mindless staring out over the waters of Mac Anu, while unsuspectingly, the Silver Knight had snuck up behind her and was inches away from swiping her helmet. Just as his fingers grasped the edges, Kayla thwacked him on the side of the head with her staff. He stumbled backward and grumbled something threatening. "You better shut up, Knighty. I can do a whole lot of stuff to you; stuff that you wont like. Plus, I got this helmet fair and square." she said and the Silver Knight growled at her. "*****." he muttered quietly, but not quiet enough.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"I heard that." Kayla spat at him, standing up quickly and turning around to face him. She pointed her staff at him and took a few steps forward. As she moved forward, he moved backward until he had reached the edge of the boat. Kayla placed her wand at his throat and mumbled a spell. "[i]Suvi Lei.[/i]" the Silver Knight's body became stiff. Kayla grinned as he began falling backwards, towards the water. She quickly reached out and grabbed one of his stiff arms. "Where do you think you're going?" she questioned and pulled him back onto the boat.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kayla jumped onto the boat just as it was it leaving, barely clearing the side of it. The only reason she didn't fall was because Sakura was paying enough attention to grab Kayla as she jumped on. Now that Kayla was on, though, Sakura was marching over to the Silver Knight and demanded her paper bag back, it was only fair.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kayla chuckled slightly and sat down near the back of the boat, staring out across the river. The Sun which was always in its position as it would be at dusk, filled the sky up with oranges and reds; which then made beautiful reflections in the water and made a scene of serenity, peace and calmness. Kayla's mind wandered away from the small fight that had broken out behind her between Sakura and the Silver Knight, away from Mac Anu's bustling liveliness of the afternoon traffic. She began thinking about the Phases, the Epitaph of Twilight, etc.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Of course, her thoughts were soon interupted when the Silver Knight came crashing into her, after Sakura had pushed him forcefully, attempting to knock him off the boat and cause him a Game Over. She hadn't noticed Kayla sitting directly where the Silver Knight was headed, and she didn't know until Kayla began swearing loudly as she and the Silver Knight toppled off the edge of the boat and into the water.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]There was a five second period as the two fell from the boat and into the water. That was barely enough time for Kayla to accomplish something devious. She grabbed the Silver Knight's helmet and did her best to aim and throw it up onto the boat. That took about three seconds in all to do and during the remaining two seconds, the Silver Knight punched Kayla square in the face; not like it mattered, of course; the punch lowered her HP by about 20, but as they both fell into the water, both their HP's dropped to 0.[/color][/size][/font] [center][font=Arial Black][size=4][color=red]GAME OVER[/color][/size][/font][/center] [center] [/center] [left][font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kayla slid off her Neuro Goggles for a minute as the ALTIMIT browser screen loaded up on her laptop. She glared at Katsuki for a moment, who wasn't paying any attention at all. To get her attention, Kayla punched Katsuki hard on the shoulder. Katsuki lifted her Neuro Goggles up a tad and gave Kayla an evil glare. "Don't you start. I didn't see you there." she spat out and Kayla continued glaring at her. "Can't you atleast apologize?" she questioned. Katsuki muttered an apology and slid her Neuro Goggles back down. Kayla did the same, just as the ALTIMIT Browser loaded up.[/color][/size][/font][/left]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]All the talk about the Phases had gotten Kayla thinking again. [i]Sakura is right. How Macha is explained in the Epitaph and her particular role, do mean that it is a most defintely a girl and that she is someone that we know and trust. But who? Who could that be? Well, I guess there's no reason to really worry about it now. Maybe once the time for that Phase has come I'll take more thought into it.[/i][/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font][/i] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]But now that Kayla was thinking about Macha, she was beginning to remember everything said about it in the Epitaph of Twilight.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [size=1][color=darkslateblue][i][b]Macha seduces with the sweet trap.[/b][/i][/color][/size] [size=1][color=darkslateblue][b][i]Wave reaches the Pinnacle, and escape none can.[/i][/b][/color][/size] [b][i][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/i][/b] [i][b][size=1][color=darkslateblue]The sweet snare of conciliation is Macha[/color][/size][/b][/i] [b][i][size=1][color=darkslateblue]The Waves, an exceeding maelstrom Nothing can escape[/color][/size][/i][/b] [b][i][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/i][/b] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Seduces with the sweet trap...Seducing...that has something to do with, well, I'd say, love.

She ducked and rolled out of the way, holding tightly onto it. "If you want one, then go steal it from the Silver Knight!" Kayla yelled at her. Sakura smiled mischieviously. "Only if you come and help me." Kayla grinned.[/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=#483d8b]"Y'know, I heard from that Mimiru chick that the Silver Knight wishes he could work at a pizza place rather than a video store. That way he could have all you can eat pizza. Isn't that pathetic?" Kayla said before bursting out into a fit of laughter. Sakura did the same and soon the two were walking around Mac Anu, half-searching for Silver Knight, half concentrating on ways to make fun of him.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]"LaRue Kruz!" Kayla shouted and large crystals of ice raised up from the ground and slammed into the monster, deminishing its HP down to zero. Kayla grinned as a small noise indicated that her level had risen. "Yes, level 60..." she mumbled. Mia and Elk congratulated her before they continued on their way through the dungeon they were training in.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]A little while later...[/color][/size][/font][/i] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font][/i] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]The three entered the room where the Gott Statue was located where they found a large clock where the treasure chest would normally be. They stared at it for a moment, before Kayla remembered something that she had read on the board.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]If you visit an area with Keyword A: Chronicling, at the bottom of the dungeon, you'll be timed to see how long it takes you to complete the area. If you complete the area in a short amount of time, the treausre you get from the Gott Statue will be much better than if you completed the area in a longer amount of time. If you complete the area very quickly and you make it into the top three times, you'll get an even better prize. Sometimes you'll even get items that you're very fond of and collect. Not sure how the game would really know the difference between whether you're fond of the item or whether you just collect it, lol.[/color][/size][/font][/i] [i][font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font][/i] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kayla walked up to the large clock and pressed down on a button on the top of it. The hands stopped moving and it stopped ticking. Then, slowly, a hole opened up in the middle of it and inside was three pieces of treasure. Kayla, Elk and Mia each picked once piece out. Mia choosing an Aromatic Grass, Elk choosing the Golden Grunty and Kayla getting a, strangely enough, Silver Knight helmet.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kayla plopped the helmet down on her head and looked at their time through the dungeon. "Oh, it wasn't a record time. Darn. Well, atleast I got a Silver Knight helmet..." Kayla laughed quietly, before she, Elk and Mia Gated Out.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---Net Slum---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#800080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]"Welcome to Paradise." Helba greeted, as per usual. Kayla nodded absentmindedly as she admired her Silver Knight helmet. "Oh, Kayla, Sakura is around here somewhere. She was waiting for you." Helba informed her and Kayla nodded again, still only slightly paying attention, before she walked off and wandered around Net Slum, barely looking for Sakura, as her entire attention seemed to be on her new helmet.[/color][/size][/font]

my images not showing up, My image host is temporarily experiencing technical difficulities as they upgrade their system but, they should be working properly soon. ^_^[/strike] Ah, good. They're working again. ^_^[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kayla slowly wandered around Net Slum, grumbling. "Stupid Sakura...could she not see how sad I was and could she not tell who I was most likely thinking about?" she continued her grumbling and stared down at the ground whilst walking through Net Slum, until she absentmindedly ran into an AI.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]The impact caused her to fall backwards onto the ground and the AI stumbled back a few steps before continuing on its way, complaining about its need for water and warmth and that it had enough light. Kayla chuckled slightly. "Silly, silly Jinn." she muttered and used her staff to pull herself from off the ground.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]As Kayla stood up, Helba floated over near her. "Kayla, I'm sure you must be wondering about the next Phase, I presume." she said and Kayla nodded. "Yeah, along with a few other things." she responded. Helba smiled mysteriously. "I figured as much, but, you really need to prepare to fight the next Phase, Lios and---"[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"You're still working with Lios?"[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Yes, I, we must keep working with him. His powers within 'the World' are very helpful to our operation. Despite the fact that he is an arrogant, pig-head, he can be somewhat intelligent at times." Helba explained and Kayla nodded half-heartedly in agreement. She'd found out first hand that Lios could be somewhat intelligent at times. "I guess I'll call up Elk and Mia or somebody to go train with me then." she mumbled and warped out of Net Slum.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Thanks for fixing the glitch, Justin. Now I don't have to worry about signing guestbooks and getting that error anymore. ^_^[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]The same thing happened to me when I was signing a guestbook. I had clicked the button to sign the guestbook and then it would say that 'this user does not exist'. I would hit the back button and I would find that my guestbook message had been submitted.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Yeah, so I had the same problem as Mimmi. Oh, and also, shouldn't you be able to delete your own entry in someone's guestbook? Because a friend of mine messed up when signing someone's guestbook(actually, I think she got the 'this user does not exist' error, too) and when she tried to delete her entry, it said that she was not allowed to do this.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Thanks for your time. ^_^[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]"Man, I just wish Sakura and I's suspension would be over!" Kayla complained as she and Elk lazily layed in a field, after having defeated all of the monsters. "Well, you're here aren't you? I mean, you're in 'the World' so its pretty much almost like you really aren't suspended anymore. Did that make any sense?" Elk said and Kayla laughed. "Barely, but I get what you mean." they both then laughed.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kayla sighed. "Elk, I'm sorry I was spending so much time with Trev--Krueger and not you. It was just that...he was..." Kayla tried to explain but Elk understood anyway. "I understand, no need to apologize. I was fine with you spending all that time with Krueger. Its not like I was bored or anything, I had Mia to go around and explore fields with." Kayla nodded silently.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=purple]---Delta Aqua Capital Mac Anu---[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#800080][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kayla walked through Mac Anu silently. She was thinking about all the good times she had had with Trevor and didn't want to be bothered. She had asked Elk to leave her alone for a little while and he understood completely. Now she was in Mac Anu, ignoring players who attempted to talk to her and avoiding Crimson Knights who were marching through the streets of Mac Anu.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]She was just wandering, not really going anywhere. Just mindlessly wandering until she wandered over near the docks where Subaru's boat was now passing. Kayla glanced over at the boat as it passed right near the dock. She saw Subaru and Sakura talking together. Kayla decided [i]not[/i] to interupt them and she continued walking until she was eventually at the dead end of 'Kia's Alley'. She sat down on a box and stared around depressed-like. Her feelings were all jumbled and she didn't know how to feel or how to think. She didn't know what she should be doing. She didn't know whether she should be sulking about Trevor, searching for more information about the comatose's, training to fight the next phase or terrorizing the Silver Knight. She really didn't know...[/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]*sigh* Sad, depressing post...[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]An explosion shook the corridor Kira, Tera, Renamon and Hawkmon were walking down. "What, what was that?" Kira asked. Tera shook her head, as did Renamon and Hawkmon. None of them knew what had caused the blast. Renamon twitched her ears and then pointed off to the left. "It came from that way. Lets go and see if anyone got hurt."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]The group immediately ran down the corridor towards where the sound of the blast had come from. After a few minutes, they reached the end of the corridor. Another corridor led off to the left and, that being the only way they could go, the group ran off down the corridor. Soon they heard the sound of something being dragged across the floor. Renamon's ears twitched. "It sounds like a...body." she said and the group of four approached the two figures who were nearing them with a limp body being dragged behind them.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Then a large vehicular shape appeared behind the three figures. The man on the vehicle began telling the three figures to stop. Kira, Tera, Renamon and Hawkmon stopped as well, just as who two of three figures of whom they had been walking towards could be distinguished as the Flamedramon and the Gatomon that they had met earlier. The third figure was an unconscious man with a large red scratch on his face.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kira walked closer to the man who was on the peculiar vehicle after hearing him ask if there was anyone who was willing to speak with him. "I'm willing to speak with you, but, I don't know much about what's going on. I still don't know where we are." she said as the man stepped off of the vehicle.[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Kayla flipped herself onto her back so she could look at her 'attacker'. "Lios, but, I thought you would be---" she mumbled to herself as Lios walked around her. He pulled her laptop out from behind his back and held it tauntingly in front of her. "Coming back for this were you?" he questioned before laughing and walking away over to his desk with it.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kayla quickly stood up. "Yeah, I was. Its my property and I wanted it back." she protested and approached his desk. "You didn't think I would be here, did you? Its lunch time, I'm supposed to be out on lunch break, that's what you thought isn't it?" Kayla didn't answer. She didn't want to give Lios the pleasure of being right about what Kayla had thought.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"I knew you would be coming back for this. Especially after I took a look at what kinds of things were stored on it. Not something that you would want the police to see, are they?" he said with a menacing smile. Kayla glared at him, still not saying a word. The laptop was the laptop that she had many files concerning happenings with comatose patients and also, her hacking program. She hadn't really wanted to bring it, afterall, she only used her hacking program for extremely difficult hacks that she couldn't do on her own, but Katsuki had said that she only had one laptop and that they should bring two. So Kayla had agreed to bring it. Of course, she hadn't expected it to be stolen by Lios. If she had thought about that, she never would have brought it, but, what had been done was done and now all that remained was to convince Lios to return it to her.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"And because I knew that you would be coming back, I decided to skip my lunch hour so that I would be here when you returned for it. I also believe that not only were you going to retrieve your laptop, but before leaving my office, you were most likely going to search for any information you could use against me or use against CC Corp to attempt to show us that you are right and that it is the game causing all of these problems, and not hackers." he was smarter than he seemed. He'd figured out Kayla's entire plans. Sure he was smarter than he seemed, but he was still an inconsiderate, pig-headed, thick skulled, jerk. He lacked the ability to put his intelligence to good use, which is why he couldn't see that it really was the game causing all of the problems. "Lios, just give me my laptop back." Kayla finally demanded.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Lios just smirked. "Give me one good reason." Kayla shook her head slowly. "Its my laptop." she said and Lios laughed. "Yes, I believe we've established that point." Kayla began to smile as a sinister plot formed in her head. "Its my property and you've stolen it. I'm sure you know that stealing is punishable by law, right?" she said. Lios frowned. "What is your point?" he demanded. "I could call the cops on you for stealing my property."[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]"Yes, and I could call the cops on you, Miss Hacker." he retalliated. "I know, but I don't really care all that much. All I'd have to do is show the cops all of the information that Katsuki and I have gathered, everything that is on my laptop, and they'd arrest you, as well, not only for stealing my property, but for lying to the public." she answered calmly and Lios laughed. "How could you show the police something that you don't even have?" he laughed again before the lights suddenly went out. Kayla took the oppurtunity to grab her laptop and back away from Lios' desk towards the door. "What's going on? What has happened to the lights?" Lios demanded and stumbled around in the dark.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Kayla backed away into the door and quickly opened it. She sprinted down the dark hall, being careful not to trip on anything and pushed open the door to the stairway. As she stumbled down the steps, she realized how lucky the power outage was. "Its all because of Magus...I knew it was a good thing to talk with Helba, Kite, and Kia about what had happened three years ago...there hadn't been power outages all week so I figured it was all in due time when there would be one. Of course, disconnecting a few wires in the circuit box helped, too..." she muttered to herself and laughed for a minute before reaching the bottom of the stairwell.[/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=#483d8b]"My god, so, you went to CC Corp, found the circuit box outside, unhooked a few wires, went inside, snuck up to Lios' office, had a little 'chat' with him, the power went out, you stole your laptop back and now you're back here." Katsuki said in amazement when Kayla retold what had happened to her when she got back. "You're crazy Kayla. All that for a laptop..." Kayla frowned. "Katsuki! Its not just a laptop! Its a laptop that has a lot of information about the comatose patients and whatnot and has my hacking program on it!" Kayla yelled at her, quietly though, so Katsuki's mother wouldn't hear. Katsuki gave her a sheepish grin. "Right, I forgot..." she mumbled and put her Neuro Goggles back on.[/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=#483d8b]Whew...*rests tired fingers*[/color][/size][/font]

[font=Arial][size=1][color=darkslateblue]Why must everyone be a Hacker? Ah, oh well...[/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=#483d8b]Kayla looked around the skatepark. Now that she was actually there, she had decided that she wasn't really in the mood to skate. She noticed Carrie and Chad skating around on the half-pipe and made her way over. "Hey, Carrie! I'm going to go back to the hotel, ok?" she said and skated off.[/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=#483d8b]Kayla glanced around her. She was outside CC Corp and was attempting to act casual. She quickly walked inside after hiding her skates behind a bush and slipping her shoes on. The secretary was busy with a visitor so now was the perfect time. Kayla ducked down behind the lobby chairs and made her way towards the elevator. She stopped behind the nearest chair to the elevator, just as the elevator doors opened and a CC Corp employee stepped out. Kayla took the oppurtunity to run out from behind the chair and dive inside the elevator, just before the doors closed.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]She hit the top floor button and waited as the elevator slowly made its way up to the top floor.[/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=#483d8b]As the doors opened in front of her, Kayla glanced around the hallway. There wasn't a single employee to be found and she then figured out why. It was Noon, which meant that everyone was out on a lunch break. Kayla grinned at her perfect oppurtunity. She quickly ran down the hall towards Lios' office. She stopped by the door and turned the handle slightly. She knew she could lock pick it if it was locked, but, strangely, it wasn't. Despite that, she opened the door slowly and glanced around.[/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b][/color][/size][/font] [font=Arial][size=1][color=#483d8b]Suddenly, she was yanked inside the office and the door closed behind 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=#483d8b]Dun dun dun! Cliffhanger. Don't worry, she'll get out safe and sound. ^_^[/color][/size][/font]

He is dedicated to the law and would never compromise or succumb to evil. He is very serious about his work and often loses his temper and explodes in the midst of frustration. Zenigata is as gullible as he is serious. Because of this he is fooled again and again by Lupin, providing for some extremely funny circumstances.
