[center] [h2][color=bc8dbf]Nao[/color] [color=f49ac2]Fukui[/color][/h2] [/center] Nao dropped her game controller and decied to kick back in her gaming chair, she reclined and activated her Deepground accounted, once she was logged into her character she smiled to herself and felt happy."[color=bc8dbf] God I love this game, but I hate it[/color] [color=f49ac2]when I get kicked out of it.[/color]" Being greeted back into the game filled Nao with joy, and determination, she could feel her hands gripping the arms of her gaming chair and let out a deep breath. [center][h2][color=bc8dbf]Ow[/color][color=f49ac2]ari[/color][/h2][/center] Owari looked at her hands for a moment, she was in a small city, Owari checked her weapons in her inventory, most of it was under leveled stuff that she didn't have time to sell off and other gear not for her class, Owari quickly gotten rid of the useless gear keeping her usual heavy machine gun, it was what she favored most. Then the futuristic warrior elf journeyed off from the city, she had a plan that seemed, more like it was too simple, find The Corpse Collector, kill them and then get the reward for doing it, or capture them alive, but she figured, dead would be simpler, she knew her level was kinda low, but she had more tenacity than exp at the moment and wasn't gonna let herself go down easy. The Elf began heading off to the faded city, with nothing really standing in her way, she wasn't planning on stopping for anything, no side quest that any Npcs would want her to do, no weak enemies that would try to stand in her way, well she'd still kill them just for the xp so she could probably catch or cheese another level up, so she could be a little stronger for that Corpse collector chick really. [color=f7941d]"Stupid fucking eight-armed freak with his stupid fucking weapons and his stupid fucking face...goddamnit it all!"[/color] Having failed to assasinate Arms Slave and that other Player with him, the Corpse Collector was scaveging the streets of Faded City looking for something to pass the time. She was quite aware of the fact that the Black King was still in power and that pissed her off to no end. So she figured maybe starting a fight or two in the streets would calm her down. Of course, she had her name concealed abover her Player icon, hiding her real name from other's. Because she may have been a temprental Hacker with mood swings, but she wasn't stupid or anything. Grumbling to herself, she looked up from her walking to see some elf person in front of her, wondering if she had any good items to steal. While she was going about her search for the Corpse Collecter, Owari started to notice, she didn't know much about Corpse Collecter, and didn't know what they looked like, she could only go by the names over people's avatars. Right while Owari was thinking that this would be a really long search, she noticed some blonde short avatar with a casual weird name was staring at her. "[color=bc8dbf] What you looking[/color] [color=f49ac2]at Short stack ?[/color]" Owari asked, she sounding a bit irritated but also curious to why the blonde person was staring her way, part of her had a creeping feeing that something was wrong here. [color=f7941d]"Just wondering what kind of loot you're carrying Fuck Face,"[/color] Corpse Collector said back with a snarl, crossing her arms and huffing. In reality she was eyeing up the other girl, checking for weapons and bringing up status menus, hacking to see what her skills were. A Level 4? This girl probably didn't have anything worthwhile on her...but at least it was a face to punch on. [color=f7941d]"Hey, how's about you calmly give me all your shit or I kick your teeth in? Or, maybe you want me to beat your ass first then rob you blind?"[/color] Corpse Collector asked, hand going for one of her revolvers. In Owari's mind she yelled," [color=bc8dbf]Fu[/color][color=f49ac2]ck ![/color]" She glared down to the small player showing no fear, and no emotion, with her giant machine gun in hand she told the player."[color=bc8dbf] A couple words. From [/color][color=f49ac2]my cold dead hands bitch.[/color]" She noticed that the player was reaching for their weapons, both revolvers, Owari smiled glad that she would be able to just tank her attacks and deal a bunch of damage to this chick. Owari aimed her machine gun at the blonde chick, she was aiming from the hip, but before she fired the gun, she threw up one of her support drones to give her back up, she than began unloading everything into the player's avatar. [color=f7941d]"Man, you really are stupid. Guess I should give you a reward or something,"[/color] Corpse Collector replied calmly as the bullets simply went right through. Oh the joys of being a Hacker. Sighing, she twirled her gun and pulled the trigger, one shot being enough to down Owari near-permanantly. She couldn't use the nifty abilities of her Death Penalty lest she reveal her identity. So instead she stuck to the normal functions, twirling her gun and walking toward Owari. Just for extra measure, she shot down the drones too with little effort, looking down at the other girl. She aimed her revolver right at her...but she didn't shoot. [color=f7941d]"Goddamnit, I need to stop doing that. It's no fun if they can't fight back,"[/color] she muttered, more to herself than Owari, before putting her gun away. [color=f7941d]"Forget about it Fuck Face. I'm bored of you anyway."[/color] " [color=bc8dbf]Cr[/color][color=f49ac2]ap.[/color]" Owari muttered as she laid on the ground, she couldn't exactly do anything as she watched the avatar blow away her drone."[color=bc8dbf] Usless ass[/color] [color=f49ac2]fucking drone.[/color]" Owari cursed while she looked up to the short avatar with a clear sign she was more than pissed." [color=bc8dbf]No fair, you..You don't have any[/color][color=f49ac2] hit box, you...You fucking hacker ![/color]" Owari yelled at the short avatar. [color=f7941d]"Yeah? So what if I am?"[/color] Corpse Collector kneeled down and grabbed Owari by the collar of her shirt. She stared down at her with steely eyes, glaring at her angrily, before shoving her down. Another sigh escaped and she got up, crossing her arms and glaring at Owari. [color=f7941d]"You're definitely no Moon Rider. She would at least put up a better challenge,"[/color] she said, almost sulking. She grunted as she was thrown down to the floor, she felt angry that this girl was toying with her."[color=bc8dbf] Moon [/color][color=f49ac2]Rider ? [/color]" Owari repeated. "[color=bc8dbf] So what if I didn't put up a challange, even if you kill me this time, I'll just be back to attack again, after that time again, you can keep killing me, but I'll always be back to try and ambush you and soon I'll[/color][color=f49ac2] wear you down and defeat you, maybe not tomorrow or the day after it, but one day you'll slip up and I'll take you down.[/color]" Owari tried her best to say a cool line from a movie she watched before hoping it was cool enough to go out on. Part of her got the idea that the chick that was about to end her was probably the Corpse Collector if not some random player hacker without a hitbox, Owari stared the short girl in the eye. [color=f7941d]"Wow you're stupid. You ever practice those lines in your head and actually hear yourself saying them outloud? Still, I haven't killed you yet so either I'm really fucking exhausted or you have something worthwhile for me that I don't know about yet."[/color] The Corpse Collector sighed for perhaps the hundredth time in this conversation alone. Something finally clicked in that head of hers and she glanced down once more at Owari. An idea formed and she reached out a hand to pull Owari up. [color=f7941d]"Hey Fuck Face, you wanna help me kill the Black King?" [/color] Out of nowhere Owari was suddenly gripped up from the ground, she first dusted herself off, but then quickly pulled her weaopon out, but before she tried to attack the player she hesitated and stopped herself. Even more out of left field the player then just asked if Owari wanted to help her take down the black King, Owari just then gave the girl a look like."[color=bc8dbf] Rea[/color][color=f49ac2]lly.[/color]" Owari crossed her arms. "[color=bc8dbf] I'm only level four. I can't really take out any real other[/color] [color=f49ac2]players or people, unless they are like level two or three.[/color]" Owari explained to them." [color=bc8dbf]But if it means getting a bunch of xp and get[/color][color=f49ac2]ting cooler gear, then I'm down for it.[/color]" Knowing that the girl was a hacker that was invincible, it was probably the smarter option to join her in her efforts instead of going against her and trying to take her down like most others might've tried before losing badly and losing all their gear. [color=f7941d]"Heh, I can do more than that. What if I told you I could make you Level 9?"[/color] Knowing that that would catch Owari's interest further, the Hacker mentally chuckled. Alright, so maybe this day wasn't so pointless after all. She would finally meet her quota. All she really needed was a helping hand.
