They stood back to back with each other, while the knights began to surrender them. This wasn't good! There was no way that they could escape of this place.
Kite looked from the corner of his eye to Balmung, and then to Tsukasa. He didn't want them to be caught, and he didn't want them to be deleted. He gazed down to his wrist were the bracelet was. Should he use it? He had absolutely no idea what would happen if he used it on a human person.


Human person? He wasn't too sure about this. Since the knights revealed nothing about themselves, it could be that they could be just programs. But what if they were human…?


He shook his head and decided to choose for his friends. Even if the knights were human, they didn't have the right to hack into The World and capturing the players in the progress.



Kite took a deep breath and shouted: “ Data Drain! “



Once again, green strings appeared out of the bracelet and flew right through the knights. But something weird happened… the strings flew right back and flew inside Kite.


Unbearable pain began to fill Kite's body and he fell on his knees screaming.



” Kite! “ Yelled Balmung. “ What is it Kite? Are you in pain?! What's wrong with you? “



But then the screaming stopped and he fell unconscious in Balmung's arms.
In the real world, Kite fell unconscious with his head on the keyboard.

” Bal~mung….? “ Whispered Kite when he slowly opened his eyes. He saw two pair of worried eyes staring into his own.



” Are you alright? “ Asked Balmung worried, placing his hand on Kite's forehead to feel if he was warm.



” I-I think so… “



” Can you sit up? “



Kite sat up and placed one hand on his forehead. He had a splitting headache and in the real world he was close to vomiting.



” What happened…? “ Asked the white knight.



” I… don't know… I used the bracelet on the knights but halfway it turned against me. Wait! What happened to the knights? “



” See for yourself “



Balmung stood up and walked a little to the right. The boy with the bracelet got shocked by what he saw; blood, bones… This wasn't what the bracelet should do! It was meant for hacking, not for killing!



” I thinks that's why the knights are searching for you and Shugo, there is something up with the bracelets “



” Oiiii! “



Kite and Balmung looked to the left and saw Tsukasa coming their way, all sweaty.



” I investigated the place but there isn't any knight's left, I think it is save for us to go to another server. But for now, stand still for a minute… “



” Err, why? “ Asked Balmung with a dumb look on his face.



” Because I'm through my MP! That's why! If we wait for a moment it will be recharged and then we don't need mp recovery items. You don't want to know how many monsters I encountered in my search. But I could defeat them easily, even though they are high leveled- “ Tsukasa sat down and took a deep breath. “-However they seemed a little distracted, like they were seeking something. I've never seen anything like this… how annoying “



Kite was looking at his wrist and he got lost in his thoughts. Where the monsters searching for his bracelet too? Just was exactly was up with this rare item? He saw the bracelet shining in the sun, and some yellow aura began to swirl around the item. Some things had defiantly changed since the incident four years ago. Could it be that the bracelet could do more than simply hacking?


And then the name Shugo began to fill his mind. Balmung told him before that that boy had the same bracelet as kite. Yes, that's right!



” Balmung… we need to start moving. “ Said the blue haired hacker tiredly.



He stood up and held his head because of the dizziness. He felt like he was being hit by a bus and he really needed to lie down and get some rest. But unfortunately there was no time to spare; their goal for now was to find as many gamers as they could.


So they walked quietly across the plains and fighting monsters in the progress. Once in a while they would try to Gate Out, but every time they did not succeed. It appeared that they first had to kill all of the monsters on the field before they could leave.


From out of nowhere, a little white envelope appeared above Balmung's head.



” I received a mail…? “ questioned Balmung when he tried to touch the envelope.



” Could you guys wait here for a moment? Maybe it is Helba with some information about the knights “



” Sure “ Replied Kite.



To everyone's relief disappeared Balmung, It was about damn time he could do that. Apparently they killed all of the monsters so now they could take a little break.


The gray haired magician lied down on the grass and watched how the clouds drifted by. His long hair danced in the warm wind, and his eyes seem to twinkle. It seemed that he was totally at peace, even though he knew that the knights could attack them every moment now.


He saw down next to the magician and hugged his knees.



” I only returned to the world so I could see my friends again,” Sighed the twin blader. “ I always thought that my friends would keep in touch with me after we beat Cubia four years ago, but I was so wrong. I send e-mails to them, I wrote them letters but I just didn't receive any answer back. So I decided to try to go online again... But I would never think that it would end up like this… “



” Shut-the-hell-up “ Growled Tsukasa. “ Stop feeling sorry for yourself, you are ruining my sunbathing. If you want to cry somewhere, do it somewhere far away from me “



Kite watched with big eyes to the boy that lied next to him. He didn't have to be so heartless!



” Besides, this is my second time that I get stuck in this blasted game “ Snorted the magician. “ And you don't see me crying right? So try to act like an adult “



The twin blader sighed again and closed his eyes. Thanks to that jerk he felt even worse than a few minutes ago. Why did they all abandon him? But he was more disappointed in Balmung. After they defeated Cubia they used to hang out whenever they got time… but now…


he opened his eyes and found Tsukasa's face near his own. He could feel the warm breath of the other boy tickling his cheeks.



” I said- “ Began the gray haired magician. “ To stop feeling sorry for yourself! Quit your whining already! “



” But- “



Before he could finish his sentence he could feel how a pair of lips covered his own. Immediately he tried to push the other boy away, but Tsukasa was stronger and pushed him onto the ground.



” S-Stop… “ Whined the twin blader.



” I already warned you once… “ Growled the magician. “ I can't stand people who pity themselves “



But before they could speak another word they heard footsteps and Balmung was waving at them.
Tsukasa stared for a moment at the terrified twin blader and stood up, removing some dust off his robe. Kite however still laid on the ground, confused and shocked.



” Kite, Tsukasa “ Said Balmung a little out of breath. “ You never guess who just mailed me… It was Wiseman! He told me that he escaped and that he was hiding himself in Broken Wings Of Timeless Space. If we hurry we might just catch up with him. So let's go!



Tsukasa and Balmung disappeared, but Kite hesitated for a while. He knew that this was only a game, but the kiss felt so real. Almost like he received it for real…


He shook his head and disappeared…
