Sapphire looked around, hoping to find a monster portal. "Okay, this should be a low enough level for you. Now, there should be higher level monsters at the final floor of the dungeon. There should also be a rare item or weapon there." She said. She looked behind her, smirking. She knew the noise that was coming for her. There was a monster portal right behind her. When the monster appeared, it started heading towards the girls.

Rika turned and held up her sword with a determined look. She rushed and swung her sword with the elegence of a true knight.

Sapphire sat back, watching her party member attack the thing. She sighed. "Just don't keep rushing it recklessly. You're opening yourself up for attack." She said. She closed her eyes. Something didn't feel right. This area was for newbies, but for some reason, she had the feeling of something watching her. She sighed, thinking it was just her imagination.

I leapt back, avoiding an attack. "I knew that!" She said.

Sapphire sighed. She opened her eyes. She didn't know how, but she could tell it was coming. She jumped out of the spot she was sitting, just in time to avoid a giant club coming down onto her! She landed facing what it had come from. It was an Ogre, a level 27 monster! "An Ogre!? It shouldn't be on this level, much less this server!" She said. She looked over at Rika as the monster she was fighting finally fell and dissapeared. "Rika, run!" She shouted, not wanting to be responsible for another players 'Game Over'. She looked at the monster. "I might be able to hold this thing off for a while, but you have to run!" She shouted, holding her staff up in front of her. "Ap Do!" She she shouted, casting a speed charm on Rika.

Rika glared. "I'm not leaving without my friend!" She shouted stubbornly, running over to her and taking out her sword.

Sapphire glared at her. "What are you doing?! This monster is too strong! I just saved, so it doesn't matter if my character dies. Just get out of here!" She shouted. She jumped out of the way as the Ogre's club came down again, nearly hitting her.

Rika glared, leaping to one side. "I'm not running! A true knight, dark or not, shall never let a friend perish for there sake!!"

Sapphire glared at her. "This is just a computer game! It's not like I'm going to die or anything!" She shouted. That moment of destraction is all the Ogre needed. When she was done saying this, the Ogre swung his club. Sapphire got hit in the side, the club big enough to strike her whole body. She shrieked, flying to the side and landing on her back a little ways away. She wasn't even glowing red. Her body had turned grey, but it wasn't a normal grey. It was more of a mitallic silver, way different than the dull grey that usually enveloped a character when they're body was destroyed. A couple of seconds after that, the Ogre turned its gaze to Rika, but something was different. There was a strange, red glow around the monster. It also had streams of data running across the inside of its eyes. It raised its club, ready to bring it down on her.

Rika's eyes widened. She knew it was some sort of virus. She began a careful circle running around it, trying to confuse it and hoping it wouldn't predict where she would go.

The Ogre swung its club down, hitting where Rika had been only moments before. When it noticed she wasn't there, whirled around in the opposite direction she was going, throwing out its arm and grabbing her around the waist, picking her up. It dropped its club and wrapped its other hand around her, tightening its grip. While it did so, her body started to glow with a slightly silverish aura. In Rika's room, she suddenly found herself not able to move, not able to take her headset off.

Rika blinked, "Wha?" She felt strange as her charicter was grabbed. "What's going on?" She thought, unable to find the words.

After a couple of seconds, Rika could start to feel lightheaded. It didn't last long, though. There was a shouting noise. The Ogre looked down to see a sword sticking out of its chest. It vanished, just like the monster Rika was fighting earlier had. She started falling towards the ground, but she was caught from the air. A man in blue armor was holding her D.I.D postion. He landed lightly on the ground. "Are you hurt?" He asked.

Rika blinked and shoot her head. "W-what happened?" She Put her hand on her head. She had no head set. "Huh?!?!"

Cass set her down on her feet, keeping his hand on her back so she didn't fall over. "Is something wrong?" He asked.
