So tonight, I came to the end of the embarassingly long interval I wait between checking my e-mail. Upon this adventure of selecting all, sifting out that which may not in fact involve natural penis enlargement, pornography, money-making scams, or general offers for merchandice that I'm not interested in, I stumbled across a rather unusual request. For an even more unusual reason that even I'm not entirely clear on myself, I've chosen to fullfill it.
So here's the story. A one, Richard Andersson from Finland, is apparently a reader of mine. For some inadequately explained reason, this individual is unable to post a fanfiction on PSO World. I suspect it has something to do with PSO World not accepting Gmail accounts in registeration, as it was indeed a Gmail account that I recieved this from.
Because of Richard and his friend's apparent inability to post to the forums, I have been asked to, in Richard's own words, put his friend's story in the website.
I've only glanced over it, and run it through a spellchecker, so I promise you that it's very much a read-at-your-own-risk proposition, as a great deal of fanfiction is. I anticipate that Richard and his friend will likely be lurking and checking up on this, so I do encourage you all to leave your words.
So, with the explanation out of the way, I present to you, Nan's The Finnish Mupps.
This is my story of 'The Finnish Mupps' my, Minski's and Ric's team in PSO.
Thanks to Lexin Skoldatanatet and Phantasy star online!
Elendara.... (Introduction) Chapter1
Sunlight came in trough the window. Elendara turned around in bed. "Mhhm..." she mumbled. Just some seconds later... "Sunlight!?!" she gasped for air. "Are we?" she was chocked. "Is the pioneer project finally going to end?" she stood up, walked to the window and looked out. There it was, blue and beautiful, Ragol "Wow..." she whispered.
Suddenly the broken alarm clock started to beep. "Ooop! I forgot about work!" she got dressed and she cooked a fast meal, or breakfast, ran down the stairs and got out to the street "Taxi!" she shouted.
A small red and black car came floating "yeees?" a voice said. "To the 'Yoshi's'! Quick!" "oookay" the voice answered. She jumped in the car and it drove away. After a few minutes, they were there. "100 Meseta" the calm, slow voice said. "Eh..." ....."Just give me the damn money!" the voice said. "Y-Yes, yes... here" Elendara gave the money to the taxi driver.
"Ok... Let's hurry.." She said. She started to run to the elevator. She pressed the button many times. "Come on!" she said. "PLING" the elevator sounded. "Finally" The elevator was full of retired people. "my g....AARGH!" She started to run for the stairs.
The retired people looked strange at her.
She finally stood in front of the door, she pressed the button for open, but the control panel answered "Beeep. Locked" "Locked?!" ...Gasping for air with her face all red, she said over and over "Locked!? Locked!?" swearing she started to push the door.
Suddenly a voice said "Ehmm.. Excuse me miss..." Elendara turned around "Yoshi's doesn't open until one hour from now" The voice came from a cleaner.".........T-thanks." Elendara said. The cleaner walked away. "......doh. I totally forgot!... Aww... And this morning started so good...Well...I think I just have to wait then" She walked to the toilet. "I think I have to go to a temperamental-control-class..."
she looked in the mirror and saw herself. "Oh my. I look like a troll." She smoothed down her red, half-long hair with some water.
After an hour she walked to the door and opened it "Yay!" she said silently.
She walked to her boss, Tim "Good morning" Elendara said. "Ohh.. Hello Ell." he answered. "Okay. I've got the camera team all ready to take some nice photos. Put these on." He said and gave some clothes to Elendara. "Ok thanks" Elendara said. She walked to the changing room.
After 10 minutes she came out. "Oh, Wow!" Tim said "Heh" Elendara walked to the green screen, almost tripping because of those very high heels, in front of the cameras. After some pics she went back to the changing room and put her old clothes on.
"So... Ahem.. Should I.." She was interrupted by Tim "No. I've been thinking and we should leave earlier this wonderful day."
"sure?" "Yes, just go have some fun!" Tim said "Thanks. See you later." Elendara went out. "I'm going for a walk. No taxi this time. I really need it."
It was in the middle of the afternoon. Elendara went to her favorite café, and sat down at her favorite table. She ordered some cookies and a strong cup of coffee. "Hmmm... My job is getting excessive.... hmm.. And my friends lives on the other side of pioneer2.."
After a long day in the "city" Elendara went home "I need a shower" She said to herself.
In the shower Elendara decided to get a new job.
End of chapter1
Bad news or good news? Chapter2
The night comes by and a new morning dawns. Elendara woke up. She looked in the 'mailbox' "hmm.. the news... looks like..!!" She dropped the cup, and it was smashed to the floor. The lights went out at the same time a big explosion was heard over the whole pioneer2. Suddenly the lights went back on and the radio continued playing old awful music.
"W-What was that?" Elendara said. She walked to the window and saw people running around in panic. "We interrupt the music for extra news" It came from the radio "Good morning. A big explosion was seen on Ragol in the Central dome area. We've lost contact with all the people from pioneer1 but our engineers are trying to find the contact that was lost. The principal has decided to send down "hunters" to Ragol, they will search for the thousands of people who where lost and check if Ragol really is a safe place. To report you as a hunter, come to the "hunters guild" near the hospital as fast as possible. " "..... Oh my.... It's not real... It has to be a bad dream.... Hunter? that's...." many thoughts came up in Elendara's head.
Without thinking, she grabbed all necessary stuff and started to run down to that hunter's guild. Much people had heard the news and the line was long. ".... What am I really doing?" Elendara thought.
Before you even have the time to say Red Ring Rico, she was pushed into the guild by a group of young boys. "Hey! Watch it!" Elendara shouted.
She stood in a corner of a room, with some other people. The door opened and a woman came out and said "Okay. Next, max 4 persons per team. Hurry!" 4 persons who looked like they had been together for their whole life, walked out of the room with the woman.
Elendara sat down in a chair. Beside her a HUcast was sitting, he looked bothered. "Ahem.. Mister..." Elendara was interrupted by the woman opening the door again "Okay. Next, max 4 persons per team. Hurry!"..... Elendara looked at the android.. and he looked back. "Hello? Are you people dead? I said max 4 persons each team!.. Well then... You two. Come on here." She pointed at Elendara's and the hucast's direction. "OH BUT PLEASE!" The woman yelled. The android stepped up, and Elendara followed him. "Finally!" the woman sighed.
"Okay. This way. Follow me" She said.
They stepped in to a big room. At the end of the room there was a counter. "Hmmm.. Ok you two in a team who will be the lead......" The door slammed up, a short lady came in "So Viola! I thought that we had a deal!" It was a Ramarl "Ooops! I'm not here!" The counter-lady bent down behind the counter. "Yeah right! You always forget everything! So come on and give me a good team to lead!" The ramarl shouted. "Ehh...H- Hello Minski...T-This team is ready for some action..." the counter-lady stuttered. "Hmm... Fine."
"Okay go get your weapons and mags and all the other stuff... Congratulations you're now lv1 .. Okay. you can register team name after the hunters-exam. Bye!" The woman said with a cold voice. (the one who showed them in to the counter room)
They started to walk to the registration/weapon/license room. "So umm... I'm Elendara.." "Good morning miss Elendara I am RICochet...""
"Yea yea.. I'm Minski" "Ok... Nice to meet you" Elendara said, she sounded a bit unsure "my pleasure" RICochet
said.
"This is it! Okay let's roll!" Minksi said. They opened the door and saw another counter. The room was full of boxes and supplies.
"Welcome to the registration/weapon/license room. How can I help you?" The counter guy said. "Me and my team wants to get the hunters-exam as quick as possible." Minski said. "Okay..." The guy pressed a few buttons on his computer and said "Team name?"
after a little talk they decided "The Finnish Mupps". "Mhhmm..." The guy pressed some other buttons and said "ok....two "hunters", HUcast and HUnewearl, and one "ranger", RAmarl... That would be two sabers, one handgun, three mags, twelve monomates and eight monofluids and of course 900 Meseta." The guy pressed a button and a little machine started to print out a strip of paper with all the stuff. "Go to the supplier and take out all the stuff on the list" "This is getting complicated." Elendara said. "But it is necessary" RICochet answered. "Well.. I guess" Elendara said "Ok stop talking and go get the stuff from the suplier" Minski said. "Yeah, yea...." Elendara said.
When they were at the supplier he said "List please!" with a dull voice. Minski gave him the strip of paper. "Mhhmm.. uh-huh k..... You are now registered. those boxes over there are the stuff you need." He pointed at some boxes in a corner. "Okay... I'm getting excited!" Elendara said. They ran away to the boxes.
"Hey! It says RICochet on this box" Elendara noted. "Yeah, you're right it says Elendara on this one" Minski gave the box to Elendara "Hmmm... There's a picture of a MAG on it!" "Yeah... so it seems" Minski said. Elendara opened the box and she saw her first mag. "aaw... Isn't he cute!" Elendara said. "Beep..Beep?" The mag said. "It seems that he is a bit shy" RICochet said."Well, Well... My turn"
Minski reached out her hand and grabbed a box. "Cool, Eh?" It was a handgun "Wow. Okay RIC.. your turn" Elendara said "Nickname accepted" RICochet grabbed a box "This box contains 4 monomates" He said.
After a couple of hours shopping, and getting ready they were... Ready for the exam.
"Okay..Puh.. I'm ready" Elendara said with a bit of nervousness. They all stepped in to the teleporter and disappeared with a blue light.
End of chapter2
Meet Elly Chapter3
Blue circles.... Balls of light... Spinning... "swishhh" They stood in the temple. "That was cool!" Elendara said. "Well, I look forward to do it again!" Minski answered. "Soo...This is VR" Elendara said.
"Okay. We must help each other out if something happens." Minski comment. "Yes of course" Elendara said. "Let's go" They moved for the door "RICochet? Are you coming?" Elendara asked. "Wait.. I am feeding this MAG" "Oh... I totally forgot about my mag.... here, you must be hungry" Smiling, Elendara gave a monomate to her mag. "Still hungry, eh?" "Silly, each time a mag gets hungry, it can eat 3 items." Minski said. "Ahem.. of course" Elendara said.
The door to their first room opened. A rappy fell down from heaven. "Ohh my... That chicken-looking bird is kinda cute" "I knew it.." Minski sighed.
"Ok. We need a strategy. I'll shoot it and you two have to strike it with your sabers ok? If he doesn't die... just hit him! we'll continue in that way." Minski aimed for the rappy and shot it "Wohoo! Right in the head!" Elendara stroke it with her brand new saber. "That's gotta hurt!" She said.
RICochet stabbed its stomach. The rappy fell dead down to the ground. "Yaay! It worked" Elendara shouted. "Don't get to cocky" Minski warned. "4 experience points gained" RICochet said. "Watch out!" Minski yelled when a dimenian almost cut the head of Elendara. "Wha?"
Minski pushed her to the side. "Oh.. T-Thanks Minski" Elendara puffed. Minski smiled with a cold smile to Elendara, before he shot the dimenian. Elendara struck it with her saber, and RICochet did what he did last time.
"This is going great!" Elendara said. "Yes. It was my idea after all." Minski said satisfied.
Suddenly some green circles appeared in a corner of the room. And a poison lily was standing there and loaded up a poison-ball. "Watch out!" Minski shouted. "I can not get poisoned" RICochet commented. "Good.. Let RIC get hit by the poison. And then we've got our chance." Minski suggested.
When the lily was defeated, the new team started to look around. "A green box!" Elendara pointed at a green box. She picked it up "A moon atomizer?" She asked. "Moon atomizer. Can bring life to dead. Can be used on fallen team members." RICochet said.
"Uh-huh.. Okay.. good to know." Elendara said.
When the brave team fought to the end of temple alpha and beta, they came to the final stage.
They stood in front of the big teleporter. "That should lead to the "boss" that rules over this place" Suddenly a beeping sound came from behind
"RICochet? What are you doing?" He stood in front of a little floating thing. It looked like a communication device of some kind.
"I just stepped to it and it started to beep" He said. "Hmm..." Minski mumbled.
"Hello?...Hello? *krzz* This is the lab" a female voice said. It came from the device. Elendara answered "Ehmm..Hello?" "Hi this is Elly from the lab" the voice said. "okay..." Elendara said. "It seems like you can hear me... Ahem anyway everything is going great. Congrats for those lv's." Elly said "Thanks" "If you walk in to the teleporter, it will take you to the final temple VR area. I recommend that you go to the shops first." Elly said "Ok.. Thanks again" Elendara said. "Well seeya!" "Beep" the device sounded. "Hmm... k.. Let's put out a telepipe." Minski said. "Yes". They went back to pioneer2 for shopping.
Back at pioneer2. The team went to the shops. "Wow.... much...." Elendara was interrupted by two young salesmen, winking and whistling to her and Minski. "Stop that would ya'?" Minski warned. The salesmen looked at each other and laughed. Minski went over to them and grabbed her handgun, just to scare them. "If you don't stop doing that... I'll put this gun up somewhere, and pull the trigger!" she whispered. The guys ran away. "Hehe.. Looks like they were in a rush! Wow Minski...." Elendara said. "Heh.. Thanks.. I'm an expert.... Almost." Minski answered.
When they had finishing shopping, they went back to the temple. "Ok... Everyone have 10 moon atomizers?... Good. Now let's move!" Minski said. They stepped into the teleporter and disappeared.
"Swishh!" They stood in the middle of a platform that was moving fast on a canal of deep water. "Ohh...." Minski was interrupted by a big larva-like fish, splashing up from the water. "There we have him or her!" Minski shouted. "Same strategy?" Elendara asked.
"No just hit it!" Minski said.
"Barba ray...Attribute:A. Beast " RICochet said. "Uh-huh..That would be the name on this beast right?" Elendara said. "Yes" RICochet answered. Suddenly Barba ray jumped up on the platform "Eeek!" Elendara yelled. "Now hit it! Fast!" Minski shouted.
The team started to attack it.
Suddenly Elendara was hit from behind by a Pig ray, the Barba rays babies. "AAhh!" Elendara fell to the ground... Everything became red and silent. She could see a light, and in the light there was a girl, screaming for help. Elendara tried to reach her arm out to help but suddenly a yellow light surrounded her and she stood on the platform with her team.
"Ehh? What happened?" Elendara asked. "You were attacked by a Pig ray... And you died.. But RIC here was fast enough to put you back to life before your spirit flew away." Minski said. "Thank you..." Elendara said. "We should focus on the enemy" RICochet said.
They started to attack it and everything went well. "Look! It's sinking!" Elendara noted. "Yeah. Couldn't eat to many lasers, eh?" Minski said. The whole team gained a lv each. "Beep.." A small communication device beeped. "Hello. It's Elly here... I saw all that.. Puh! Are you alright Elendara?" Elly said via the device "Yeees I'm alright" Elendara answered. "Good... You're welcome back to pioneer2 and the real life." Elly said. "Yes of course.. This is VR." Minski said. The platform stopped by a bridge. "Let's go... That teleporter sure leads back to pioneer2" She said.
Back at the lab... "Let's go shopping.. Minski are you coming?" Elendara said. "I'm going to have a word with the chief." Minski said. "Okay.. Have fun" Elendara said.
Elendara checked out the arms shop and RICochet stayed at the weapons shop. "Hmm... What should I buy?.. I got no problem with money... I was a mod....." Elendara was interrupted by the 'Techer' "HEY! I knew I've seen you before! You're that model working at Yoshi's!" he said. "Yes, that's me" Elendara said. RICochet looked strange at Elendara. "Ohh.. I'll give you A 20% free bonus if you shop here or come by every time!" The armor-guy said. "Thank you" Elendara said.
"Now that's just so not fair!" Minski was back. "Ehmm..." The armor guy said. "Do I get a bonus if I've been in the military?" Minski said. "Minski.. It's just bonus..." Elendara said. "I'll give you both 10% free bonus then." The armor guy said. "You don't have to..." Elendara tried. "Yes you have to!" Minski interrupted. "Are you trying to blast my patience away?" RICochet said. "I'm sorry" Elendara said.
"Well I'm finished here." she said. "Me to" "And me". The team went to the residential area. "Tomorrow, we'll take the next VR" Minski said. "Hey! Wait! This is weird... I think we should know each other more!" Elendara said. "Hmm... You're right.. I don't even know how old you are." Minksi said. "Let's go to a café or a restaurant.... I'll pay." Elendara suggested.
They went to small café. "Isn't this place to expensive?" Minski asked. "No.. I've got money... but no friends..." Elendara smiled. "You've got us now" Minski said. "Yeah, You're right... Let's order something" Elendara answered. Elendara and Minski ordered coffee, some cookies and snacks. RICochet was reading an old magazine.
"so.... how old are you Ell?" Minski asked. "I'm 18 years old..... wait...hmmm..... ohh.. next week." Elendara answered. "Cool.." Minksi said. "Well.. What's your last name?" Elendara asked. "Riksu, Minski Riksu" Minski answered with a smile.
"k...Before The explosion I was a model... You might know that already." Elendara said. "Yes... That's probably were you got all the money from." Minski said.
"hmm.. I've been thinking.. you're Oran right? And RIC's bluefull.. I'm Redria..."Elendara said. "Yes.. none of us are the same.." Minski answered. "There's one thing I'm still wondering about... how could that explosion affect pioneer2. And how could it be heard through space?" Elendara said. "I don't know... No one knows" Minski answered After a nice evening together the team was ready to say goodbye for today.
"It has been nice meeting you all" Elendara said. "Yes" RICochet said. "Very... Well.. I'm going now.. Bye!" Minski said. "Bye" RICochet and Elendara said. "Well... you're quite silent... Bye" Elendara said, winking.
Back at home Elendara went straight to bed. "Ahh.. What a day.... But I still wonder about that girl.... Red.... Well tomorrow's a new day". She lied down and closed her eyes and went to sleep in a couple of seconds.
End of chapter3
Hunters exam Chapter4
Elendara woke up with a weird smile on her lips. "*Yawn* .. Hmmm.... What was it with that dream?" she said. "Ahh.. A new morning... I hope the next VR field will go just as well as last one..." she thought. She made a breakfast and sat down in front of her computer. "Hmm... Mail from Minski..... We'll meet at the hunter's guild at 13:05 pm. Take care. -Minski"
Elendara got ready and was heading for the guild. Ricochet and Minski were already there "Hi.. Over here!" Minski shouted. "hello" Elendara said. "Good morning miss." RICochet said. "Minski... Don't you think we should buy a newer system for RICochet... He's kind of boring." Elendara whispered to Minski. "Hehe. Sure! I know someone who's good at machines" Minski answered. The team went to the lab. "Ok. Next VR is the spaceship questions?" The informer said. "No.. Thanks" Minski answered.
"The teleporter is the same"
They went to the teleporter and disappeared with the blue light.
"Swishh" They stood in the spaceship alpha "Hey! Where's RIC?" Elendara asked. "Ehmm.. I can't see him" Minski answered. "Well.. I'm sure he's alright.. Let's move" They got into the next room and it was full of wolf-looking monsters. "Same tactic" Minski said. The monsters was defeated. "Wow! I found Disc Resta lv2... What's that?" Elendara asked.
"It's a technique..." Minski answered. "Uh-huh... Well I'll use it." Elendara used the technique and could now heal herself...
"This is good" Elendara said. "Look what I've got!" Minski (cast?/)used barta. "Wow... Cool" Elendara said. "Well come on now there's just one little robot left." Minski said.
When the enemy was killed, They stepped into the next room that were a corridor. "There's no ceiling here...or walls. just a bridge" Elendara said. "Look over there!" She pointed at another corridor or bridge, a few meters away. "It's RIC!" Minski said. "HELLO!" Elendara shouted. RICochet waved to them. "OK let's move... I think we'll meet in the next room."
They walked into the next room that was a big hall with weird walls that was showing different pictures of Ragol. They saw RICochet, he came out from another door. "Hello.. This spaceship's tricky. Let's stay together." Minski said. Enemies appeared out of nowhere. "Attack!" Minski shouted. Every single enemy was defeated.
It went well in whole spaceship alpha. They had some problems with beta and the delsabers. But they where finally there... the final VR stage. "Finally!!" Minski said. "Shops first?" Elendara asked. "OK"
They went to pioneer2 and back to spaceship.
"Ok I'm ready" Elendara said. They stepped into the teleporter that would take them to the 'boss'.
This time they stood in a big room. The floor was see transparently blue. The walls was full of monitors. Suddenly a big dragon came out of a monitor. "Oh my..." Elendara said. "Here we have him. Let's attack!" Minski said. "Gol dragon... Attribute: Native." RICochet said. The dragon started to blow fire, electricity and ice. The team tried hard to run behind the dragon and strike it from behind. Everything was going ok until the dragon suddenly copied itself. Now There was two dragons in the room.
"This ain't good!" Elendara said. "One of them has to be a fake!" Minski said. "We'll attack the left one first!" Minski suggested.
They attacked the dragon, but it was very hard because the dragon was moving all the time. "watch out for the tail!" Elendara shouted. But it was too late RICochet was slammed into the wall. "Noo! Dammit! I'll give him a moon atomizer." Elendara ran over to him and gave him an atomizer. "Ehh?... Hello" RICochet said. "....Ohh... You must have got a real hit in your head..." Elendara said. "come on! Let's kill this thing and go home!" Minski said.
The dragon disappeared. "Ah-hah! One down!" Minski shouted. "Okay I know we can do it! Attack!" Elendara shouted.
"Let's do a Photon Blast!" RICochet said. "What happened to him?" Minski asked. "I think he'd got a real hit in his head" Elendara answered. "Okaay" Minski said.
"1...2..." "Wait!!" Elendara interrupted "I don't have full photon energy!" She warned. "Let yourself get hit by the dragon."
And so she did.. The mag started to spin and a yellow light surrounded it. "OK now." Elendara said
"1..2...3.!" A big fish appeared, Estlla, and attacked the dragon. Then a wormlike thing, Farlla attacked it. And at last a big deer appeared and shot some electricity on the dragon. "It has to be dead now!" Minski said. The dragon fell to the ground and died. "wohoo!"
Elendara shouted. "beep. *krrzzp* Hello? Elly here." It came from one of those devices. "Hi Elly" Elendara answered. "I saw your android got a hit by the dragon.. Is he ok?" Elly said. "Hmm.. Yes.. And he's nicer now.. Something must have happened to him.." Elendara said. "mhmm.... Strange... Well good then. Congratulations! You have completed the hunters exam!.. And yes.. when you come back to pioneer2 I'll meet you personally. seeya! beep..." "cool" Elendara said. Let's go back to pioneer2.
"Swishhhh" They stood in the lab. "Hey! Look! It's Elly!" Elendara noticed. They walked up to the counter and Elly. "Hello"
"Ohh.. That's how you look like" RICochet said. "Eheheh... Well... You are doing great!... I can take a look at your android... I love machines!" Elly said. "Yea.. Thanks. We would like him to have a personality.. .. You know" Elendara said. "Well, well... I'll see what I can do.. now go to the chief." Elly said.
"You are now Hunters! Congratulations! You have now my permission to go down to Ragol."
"Thank you" Elendara said. "RIC... you'll have to stay here with Elly.. Seeya later!" Minski said.
"Heh! You seem to become good friends with Elly." She said. "Really? I'm really just talking to her." Elendara said.
"Yes... You're lucky... From no friends to that many in just two days... " Minski said. "Let's go and eat something.. We have to celebrate the hunters exam! I know a nice place!" Elendara said. "hehe.. Ok" Minski said. They walked away in the evening....
Ragol
Chapter5
The Finnish Mupps met outside the teleporter that would take them to the principal.
"Hello.. So RIC you're back! How does it feel?" Elendara said. "hello.. Maybe more free." RICochet answered. "Good.. We're all here." Minski said. "Why do we have to go to him first?..... I mean the principal." Elendara asked. "I don't know... He said something about information.." Minski answered.
"Principal... Tyrell" Minski called when they had gone into the teleporter. "Ohh.. You're here... Your mission as hunters down on Ragol is to investigate the central dome area. Search for survivors and clues that might help us knowing what happened down there. Good luck." Tyrell said.
"Hey! Over here!" a lady behind a counter said."Yees?" Minski said. "Principal has lost his only daughter. She went down to Ragol.. But she didn't come back" The lady said. "You mean Rico? She's a hunter?" Minski said. "Yes... He is quite upset about her... So don't tell him that I've been talking to you. Can you please try to find her?" The lady requested. "We'll try" Elendara
said.
"Okay Let's go down to Ragol" Minski said. They went to the teleporter and disappeared.
"Swishhh" They were in the forest. "Ahh! I haven't seen real trees for a very long time!" Elendara said and took a deep breath. "Mmm... Wonderful..." Minski said. "Let's go this way." RICochet said.
"Well of course.. There's only one door.." Minski noted. "It's high walls here.. It would be waste of energy to even think of climbing them" Elendara said. "Why do they call this a forest? There's barely any trees here!" Minski said. "Yeah... You're right.. That's strange." Elendara
said.
They walked out of the room and saw five 'Boomas' walking around in circles. "yoooho! We're here now!" Minski shouted. The Boomas started to walk towards the team. "Nice job! And now what?" Elendara said. "Well, sorry then! Just attack them" Minski said to Elendara.
Minski gave them one headshot each. Elendara and RICochet started to strike them with their sabers. When the "room" was clear they continued the search.
RICochet pressed on a button, and the door opened. "This way" He said. They came into a "room" with a small stream. "This place would be great for a break!" Elendara said and smiled. "You know why we're here right?" Minski said. "... yea,yea.." Elendara said. "Look. A rappy" RICochet said. "Ohh...that's what they're called..." Elendara said. Suddenly the "room" was filled with other monsters. "I'll take those two" Elendara pointed at two Boomas in a corner.
"OK"
They cleared out the enemies and so it continued until the forest2 area, when they saw a hildebear.
"Watch out for the fireballs!" RICochet warned. "It happens to be foie.." Minski corrected. "Whatever" RICochet answered. "Can you stop nagging, come and help me with this instead!" Elendara shouted. They killed the hildebear and moved on until they came to the 'boss' teleporter.
"I really wonder where this thing leads." Elendara said. "well... There's only one way to find out!" Minski commented. "Come on! Let's go" she said before they disappeared.
"Wow.. Look at this place! It's like an underground arena!" Elendara said. "ye..." A big dragon came out of the ground. "Holy...!!" Minski said. "Ehh... Another dragon?" Elendara said. "Dragon.. Attribute: Native..." RICochet said. The dragon landed in the middle of the room and started to blow fire at the team. "Eeek! Don't burn me!" Elendara yelled. "That's not helping" Minski said.
"Strategy?" RICochet asked. "Go to its feet and hit it until it drops down and then hit it more!" Minski suggested. "Ok.. I'll try to hit it extra hard!" Elendara said.
The dragon fell down and the team slashed the dragon.
"Giving up, eh?" Minski teased.
The dragon rose and flew high up. "This room has a very high ceiling." RICochet said. "Watch out!" Minski shouted. The dragon dived right through the ground. "It can come up anywhere...." Minski whispered. "Look!" Elendara pointed at a big heap of soil and stones. "It's moving?!" She said. "Apparently.. And right towards us!" RICochet said. "Run!" Minski
suggested.
Suddenly the dragon came up right through the ground and left a big lava-filled hole behind him.
"Eeek! Watch your step!" Minski warned.
"He's coming down again!" Elendara shouted. The dragon landed and started to walk around, blowing fire. "Now! Attack like last time!" The dragon dropped with a big rumble to the ground. Elendara and RICochet stood close to the dragon and slashed it and Minski shot it. The dragon tried to rise but it couldn't. "Haha! I knew you weren't as dangerous as you look!" Minski said. The dragon sounded like dragons do and died.
"Wohoo! We made it. And it didn't cost us a single moon atomizer!" She said. "What are those boxes?" Elendara asked. "I don't know... Try to open them... Or just break them." Minski said. Elendara slashed the box and it exploded. "There's something on the ground that came from the box.. Ohh.. It's 10 Meseta!" She said. "Ok let's go back to pioneer2!" Minski
said.
Back at pioneer2. "Ok.. This is our new life as hunters... quite monotonous" RICochet said. "Yes... But it's still fun!" Elendara said, smiling to RICochet. "Let's take time off from work next week." Minski suggested. "That would be really nice.. But why?" Elendara asked. "Oh.. You'll see..." Minski said secretive "What about a girl's day tomorrow?" She said while walking away. "Great! Leave a message!" Elendara said. "So.. Umm.. What are you going to do tomorrow?" Elendara asked.
"Dunno...I'll just sit down in my loneliness and think." RICochet answered. "Ohh... I'm sorry... But you heard Minski girls...." Elendara was interrupted by RICochet "Just you go.. and have fun. You need it." ".... Thanks.... If you ever need me... I'll be there for you." Elendara said with a warm facial expression, Before she walked away.
End of chapter5
The reunion, the terrible news and the truth
Chapter6
"...I killed the bartle and it gave my lv100... That's my story from lv 1-120" Elendara said. "Yeah.. Good old times...By the way, It's gettin' late... I'm going home... Bye." Minski said. "See you tomorrow then." RICochet said. "So.. That's your story.. I can still remember some parts." He said. "Yes... hehe... First time we went to the forest...*sigh*" Elendara said. "Do you remember first time we went to the beautiful beach.. the seaside?" RICochet said. "Yes....." *Flashback*
Back at lv 50. "Wonder where this leads." Elendara said. "It says... Seaside" RICochet said. "That sounds great" Minski said. "Do you really think that we'll find Flowen?" Elendara asked. "Don't worry.. Let's go." Minski said with a calm voice. They disappeared.
"Swishhh" The team stood in a small room. A little ray of light came down from a hole in the ceiling. "These walls.. It's rock... This must be a beach. Look.. there's a way out.."
Minski said.
They walked out of the small room and came out on a big beach with white sand and high cliffs.
"................" Minski couldn't say a single word. "......." Elendara tried. "........?" RICochet continued.
"Just look at that water! Blue like.... like.... like something I've never seen before!" Elendara pointed at the water. "Wow.... Wonder if there's any fish out here..." Minski said. "This place has a high rate of relaxation." RICochet said. "Can't we just skip our job for once and go swimming?" Elendara asked. "Hmmm..... Alright! Hehe! Just for once..." Minski answered. "ohh... It's not cold..Hehe!" Elendara said when she dived into the
water.
After a long day at the beach, The Finnish Mupps decided to go back to pioneer2 instead of hunting.
*Another flashback* "Yeah.. I remember that..." Elendara said. "Maybe Minski's right.. It's really getting late." She said.
"Well, goodnight then" RICochet said. "Goodnight... And..." Elendara said. "And?.. What?" RICochet wondered. "Ehh... Nothing.. Ahem..." Elendara said. "So.. Bye. Seeya!" Elendara walked away. "So many years and Lv's and she's still keeping a secret..." RICochet thought.
Next morning at a café."Hmm... Look at this..." Minski said while reading the news. "What?" Elendara asked. "All hunters should gather in the lobby Friday 17:00. To celebrate the hunters festival and this year we are going to have a dance floor available." Minski read. "Sounds fun.." Elendara said. RICochet and Minski looked at Elendara. "... Oh come on! Don't tell me that you can't dance!" Elendara said. "Ahem.. Hmmmrh.. Heh.. Never had the time.." Minski said. "Ehh.. I'm not programmed to dance.." RICochet said.
"Bah! Well... I'm satisfied if you at least just show up. It's the hunters festival after all." Elendara said. "Now I have really much stuff to do before the festival." Elendara said. "Like choosing clothes and hair style" Minski whispered to RICochet. "This day has just begun. You have the whole day on you to do all the 'important stuff'. The festival's tomorrow.. More than 24 hours!" Minski said. "Oh... I think you're right.. I didn't really think..." Elendara said. "Hmm.. Maybe it's not a bad idea after all... I need to buy new clothes.. and get my hair fixed! But that costs over 10 000 Meseta" Minski said. "So? Not much..." Elendara said. "Heh.. I know.. But my little Rukmin eats such expensive food" Minski answered.
The team talked until 15:43 o'clock.
"Oooph! Gotta go home and cook dinner and all that stuff!" Minski said. "Yepp... Well.. seeya tomorrow then." Elendara said. "Hmm.. What should I do? I got noting planned.." RICochet said. "Would you like to come over and have a talk, RIC?" Elendara asked. "Sure" RICochet answered. "I've got a recharging station at home.. If you need.." Elendara said with a smile.
Later at Elendara's apartment. "Well... There's the TV and the remote.. I have to take a shower.. It'll take... Perhaps 10 min." She said. "Thanks" RICochet said.
After 11 minutes Elendara came back from the bathroom. "Ahh.. We should have more 'days of', It's sooo nice." Elendara said. "Yes... We get time to do whatever we want to." RICochet said. "I'm just wondering about something.. Is there any person that you like? More than someone else?"Elendara said."Hmm?" RICochet said. "Ohh... Umm... Forgive me.. It was a stupid question.. You're an android.." Elendara answered. "No It's OK.. But I understand what you mean. Elly's quite nice.. And cute." RICochet said. "Ahah... I knew you weren't too stiff." Elendara said. "Well... If you don't mind... Can you give me those clothes? It's getting annoyning to hold this towel..." She said. "Ohh.. Sure" RICochet gave her the clothes and she got dressed. "I got to go." RICochet said. "OK... Well.. It was nice to have you here.." Elendara smiled. "Bye." RICochet went out. "Hmm... This day did go very fast... Time to go buy some new clothes." Elendara
thought.
After a long, silent night, Elendara woke up. "Ahh! Morning... It's going to be a great day today." Elendara said to herself.
At 16:57 o'clock the team stood in the lobby and talked. "Ohh I'm so excited! What if I get a medal?" Elendara said.
"That would be fun, heh!" Minski said. "It's starting!" RICochet said.
A tall man stepped up to the stage. "Welcome ladies and gentlemen to this years Hunters festival! I'm Gon and I'll guide you this evening. We'll give out medals to brave hunters tonight and then comes the dance. We'll end with 'Hunters of the year prize drawing'." Gon said. "5 medals will be given to hopefully 5 different Hunters. Let's begin! For the great support and helping skills you have been a blessing to your team.... Fiyra the FOnewearl! Congratulations!
Applause.." Gon said. Everybody cheered when Fiyra stepped up and received the medal "Thank you! Thanks to my lovely team!" Fiyra said, almost crying.
"Next prize... For the fantastic accuracy and shooting skills, you have been given this prize. Take it with pride, Tix3000 the RAcast!" Tix3000 received the medal and Gon
continued... "You have always been by yourself, never looked back even if your loved was dead. It's yours, this medal for your great endurance, Umbril the HUmar!" Umbril got the prize and Gon
continued... "For your extreme close-combat skills you have been awarded this prize, always helping your team out even if you think your just in the way, your a real star. We wouldn't have made it without you, Lamirna the HUcaseal!" Lamirna stepped happy up and received the medal. "And the last prize!" Gon said.
"Gettin' exciting!"
Elendara said. "You're always late and you're always lost when your team goes down to Ragol, maybe you think that you're forgotten, but your team members always go looking for you. It doesn't matter if you're not in time you're still our hero, Esmerila the RAmarl!" Gon said. Esmerila received the prize. "Applause, for all these hunters!" Gon said. "Could have been me..." Minski said. "Now.. Dance time! At 19:30 it'll bee last prizes and luck wishes! Have a good evening." Gon stepped down.
"So... I got to find someone to dance with." Elendara said. "I think I'm going to sit here and have a drink." Minski said. "Really? Just you wait.. I'll get someone for you. hehe" Elendara said.
After half an hour Minski came to Elendara and asked."Hey,Ell? There's a cute guy searching for you!" "Have A drink? How many drinks did you take?!?.. Wait...!!! Can you tell me more about that guy?" Elendara asked. "HUmar.. I think... He told me something about old friends.. his name is.... Revell..." Minski said. "....!!!! Eeek! Ehh... I'm not here.. Tell him that.... eh.. I'm just not here OK?" Elendara said. "Sure." Minski said.
"How in....?? How did he find me? How does he know that I'm a hunter now?" Elendara was chocked. She turned around and saw Revell coming to her but he hadn't seen her yet. "Ohh... Oh no..." Elendara tried to hide behind all the dancing people.
"Excuse me! I'm sorry!" Revell tried to make a way trough the people to the dance floor. Elendara stumbled away in high-heeled shoes, or at least she tried to. But it was to late, Revell had already seen her. "Elendara, wait!" He shouted. "Oh no!" Elendara closed her eyes and took a deep
breath.
Suddenly Revell grabbed her arm. "Ahh!" Elendara screamed. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings! I didn't see that I still love you! Please, Let's start over... back to square one! Please I know that you still have feelings for me!" Revell said, very fast. Elendara was chocked too many thoughts came trough her head. "...........I.. But... Ehh?" Elendara tried. "Please! Let me come back! I miss you!" Suddenly Elendara gathered courage and understood what really happened "Let me go! Get your hand of me!" Elendara said. "No, you don't understand I.." Revell's hand burned on Elendara's skin. "Let go! Ahh!" She pushed him and he fell backwards right into a table full of drinks. The music stopped and everybody stared at Revell and Elendara. "...I ......" Elendara couldn't think. She started to cry...
Very silent.
Suddenly Gon stepped forward and said. "What happened here? Who..Who did this?" "That man attacked that woman and..." A woman said. Two guards came in and grabbed Revell and took him away. "Miss? Are you alright?" Gon asked Elendara "I..I'm.... S-sorry" She fell into Gon's arms and cried. He followed her to a table and Minski and RICochet came. "Oww.. I'm sorry Ell... I know.. It hurts." Minski said. "....." Elendara sighed. "Hmm... She needs rest. I'll tell my men to take her back home." Gon said. "Thanks.." Minski answered. "I'll stay here.. The festival will continue, right?" She asked.
"Of course" Gon answered.
Later... "It's now time for the last prizes! and the first award... You have done a great contribution to the Hunters guild and pioneer2, we are still amazed that you have managed to get that high Lv without getting bored. The Team of The Year award goes to....... The Finnish Mupps!" Gon said. RICochet and Minski stepped up to the stage and received the prize, 3 medals, one million Meseta and 5 times free 'changing-room' tickets. "Team The Finnish Mupps consists of Minski the RAmarl team leader, RICochet the HUcast and Elendara the HUnewearl. But She's not here right now... Applause!" Gon said. "Woooho! Thanks to everyone!" Minski shouted. The team stepped down.
"Ahh! I just knew I would get a prize!" Minski said. "Yeah... Nice medals.. But aren't you worried about Elendara?" RICochet said.
"Hmm? Ooh.. Yeah.. Maybe one of us should go talk to her." Minski suggested. "I'll go." RICochet said. "Okay.. But be careful... Don't play with her feelings... It's not easy when you have a broken heart." Minski said. "I'll be careful, bye." RICochet said.
When he knocked at the door, he could hear Elendara cry. "Y-Yees?" She said. "It's me RICochet..." RICochet said.
Elendara opened the door and fell into RICochet's arms and cried even more. "Ehhm.." RICochet didn't know what to do. "I'm sorry... Come in." Elendara walked away to the kitchen and RICochet followed her. "Minski said that someone should come and speak with you." RICochet said. "Thanks... Revell... I met him when I was 16 years old.. We fell in love... But suddenly he started to yell at me and call me nasty things... And one day.. He told me that he'd met someone else. I moved here and left him with his new girlfriend. I don't understand how he even dared to come back to me..." Elendara said. "Hmm... Don't you love him anymore?" RICochet asked. "No.. Or.. I don't know.. I don't want him to be here." Elendara answered. "Hmm... We won the Team of The Year award.. Here's your medal." RICochet said. "Ohh. Thank you! That's very good... Well... If you don't mind... Could you please stay here? Until the morning comes...?" Elendara asked. "Hmm... OK.. But just one time... And only until the morning." He answered. "Thank you... My friend." Elendara said. She was so tired and fell asleep with those
words.
When Elendara woke up, RICochet where gone. After two hours she stood outside principals teleporter, just as Minski told her to. "There you are!" Elendara said when Minski and RICochet came. "Let's go." Minski said.
"Team The Finnish Mupps! I've been waiting for you... I've got some terrible news..." Tyrell said. "We're listening.." Minski said. "We have discovered that the monsters living down on Ragol seems to reappear!" "What?" Elendara and Minski said at the same time. "What do you mean? That all the monsters we've killed just... Reappear? Wait... Now I understand.. Ell do you remember when we wondered why the forest's always full of boomas even though we already killed them...? " Minski asked. "Yes... So it seems... By the way... You should go to the lab..." Tyrell said. "Thanks... bye" Minski said.
End of chapter6
The Seabed, the end
Chapter7
Later in the lab... "You should go to the seabed area... Maybe you'll find something there.. We have got some strange signals from there." Elly said. "Doesn't sound very nice...Seabed..." Minski said. "Be careful!" Elly said when the team went to seabed.
"This place looks.... Dark..." Minski said. "There's water everywhere....and almost up to my knees!" Elendara said. "Let's go.. This way." RICochet said. The team walked trough the corridor and the door. "Look at this room... What are those boxes?" Elendara asked. "Recoboxes... Be careful" RICochet said. "It doesn't look very dangerous.." Minski said. Suddenly one of the boxes opened. "Here they come.. Recons.. Watch out for their bombs." RICochet said. Elendara drew her Red handgun, Minski her Final Impact and RICochet his Orotiagito when all the Recons where dead, 5 dolmolms appeared "What's that?" Elendara asked. "Dolmolms..." RICochet said. The team killed the Dolmolms and continued with the rest of seabed upper levels with much trouble and problems.
In seabed lower levels... "Look! There's a message device." Minski said. "Maybe there's a message from Flowen.. Another one." Elendara said. "Yes.. Let's check it out." Minski said.
"...I am..." "...powerless, yet..." "...I have..." "...everything..."..."...In this dark abyss......"...I wait...".."...for the savior of..."..."...the red captive child..."...
"...My destruction..."..."...At the bottom of..."..."...the deep abyss..."..."...I wait..."......"...Wait..."..."...thcliff..."......"...Flow..."
".... Uh-huh.. This is even more weird than the other ones..." Minski said. "Hmm... Red child.. I wonder what it means." RICochet said. "Well... Let's move on. I'm sure that we're not so far from the end." Elendara said.
...They were finally at the teleporter that would take them to the final area. "Phew! Finally.. We're here... Those Delbiters weren't nice!" Elendara said. "Yes.. But we're here now.. Let's go." Minski said. "I'm quite scared... Or.. I mean I'm nervous.." Elendara said. "Everyone's got what they need?" RICochet asked. "If I don't make it..." Elendara said. "Stop that! Of course you'll make it. You've got us!" Minski said. "I'm ready for whatever it is we'll meet." She said. "I'm sure that it's gaint beast as always... But since this is the last area... And Elly said something about an elevator... I really wonder what it is." Elendara said. "Let's go!" Minski suggested.
They stood in a elevator. "Schhhh..." "What? Did you hear something Ell? Wait... I heard something too..." Minski said. The elevator started to move. "It's coming..." RICochet said. A giant monster with spider-like legs came down. "HOLY...! Eeek?" The team was not really ready for something like this. "He's too far away for swords. Shoot him!" Minski said. "Aaah! Ow.. Try to avoid the sword attack.. It really hurts." Elendara said. "Try to concentrate." Minski said. "I'll show you my Red handgun!" Elendara said. It was really hard, everything was a mess. But suddenly.. "It looks more tired now than before!" RICochet noted. "Take this!" When Minski shot the beast, it fell down. "Ahh! Watch out he's taking the whole elevator with him!" Minski yelled.
Booom! "*Cough!* Hello? Are you alright?" Elendara said. "Uh.. I think so... Where are you?" Minski said. "I'm here. just beside you." RICochet said. "Stay where you are. I'm coming. But it's tough to walk trough the water." Elendara said. "..Wait a minute... Water!?" Minski said. "Wow! what a big place. And dark." Elendara said "I really hope that it's not leaking.... Hah! We killed that monster. Cool, eh?" Minski said. "Let's find a teleporter." RICochet said. "What's that?" Elendara pointed at a big shining ball of light. "Oh. Looks like a spirit. But bigger.. It's floating around the body of that thing. There's something strange with this beast." Minski said. "Um.. There is no teleporter.." RICochet said. "Strange... Ryuker won't work!" Minski said. "We're trapped!" She said. "Should we catch the spirit?" Elendara asked. "Why?" Minski wondered. "Maybe it's the only way out... It's worth a try." Elendara answered. "I guess..." Minski said.
When Elendara touched the ball of light and the giant beast rose. "This can't bee good..." She said.
"Look! He's got legs... Ohh my G..... That's the hugest thing I've ever seen!" Minski said. "Be careful as hell!" Elendara said. "It's better to shoot it than hit it." Minski said. "Aim for the feet!" she said. "What a mess!" Elendara shouted.
The monster said something insignificant and shot a magic like ball right towards Minski. "Minski watch out!!!!" Elendara screamed. "Ahh!" Minski fell down to the water. "Are you alright? Where are you? Minski do you hear me?" Elendara was scared and sorry. "Minski!" She said. But it wasn't Minski that rose... ".....! Flowen!" Elendara gasped for air. RICochet was very surprised too. "How what?... Ahh!" The monster hit Elendara and she flow away but she was quickly on her feet again. Again the monster mumbled something insignificant and Minski was back in the water again. "Uh..What happened?" She said.
"according to my calculations... This beast is no one else than.. Flowen himself!" RICochet said. "What!? So Flowen changed body with Minski?" Elendara asked. "Well.. It's quite complicated. It's logical, if you think about all the message logs, and put them together. But this doesn't look like research. That body is very dangerous he hid himself in this abyss so that he could not hurt anyone... Anyway, sort of changed spirit with Minski to not harm itself." RICochet said.
"Now's our chance! Photon blast! Now!" Minski yelled. Estlla, Pilla and Golla attacked 'Flowen'. "He's still not dead! Quick, for the sake of our lives kill it!" She said. "I'll give him some of my Yamato!" Elendara said. She ran for the feet and hit him. RICochet was fast beside her. Suddenly it said something and started to fall. "Run! Just run! Watch out!" Minski said. It fell down and disappeared. A man, Flowen flew up and a sword fell down it landed just before RICochet's feet.
"!!" Before he had the time to take it, it was gone. "Ah.. Too bad... I almost had it in my hands..." He said. "Phew... We did it... It's over... Once and for all..." Elendara said. "That was the scariest thing I've ever been trough in my whole life!" Minski said. "Let's return to pioneer2." RICochet said.
"Elly!" Elendara said. "Oh. I'm so happy that you're alright.. We lost contact... It looks like it were a hard battle.. You look very exhausted." Elly said.
Minski told her everything that happened. "So.. It's all over... But I still wonder what Flowen had to do with Rico and What the beast that we call
Olga Flow had to do with Dark Falz... Some questions will never bee answered..." Elly said. The Finnish Mupps was now celebrated in whole pioneer2 just some hours after the battle. Minski was at home and relaxed, but RICochet and Elendara sat down at a bench and looked at the stars. "What are you planning to do now when everything's over?" Elendara asked. "Hmmm.. It's a very hard question... But I've always wanted an own bar..." RICochet answered. "Nice.... I like you.... I feel relieved and very happy... How do you feel?" Elendara asked. "Feelings are strange things... Even I have them.....
If I would tell my inner 'feelings' right now, you wouldn't understand... It's a feeling that you, humans/newmans call Love"

End of chapter 4 (If you wonder why I didn't write much about the fights, it's because it would take so much time to write down every single move)
By Nan
So here's the story. A one, Richard Andersson from Finland, is apparently a reader of mine. For some inadequately explained reason, this individual is unable to post a fanfiction on PSO World. I suspect it has something to do with PSO World not accepting Gmail accounts in registeration, as it was indeed a Gmail account that I recieved this from.
Because of Richard and his friend's apparent inability to post to the forums, I have been asked to, in Richard's own words, put his friend's story in the website.
I've only glanced over it, and run it through a spellchecker, so I promise you that it's very much a read-at-your-own-risk proposition, as a great deal of fanfiction is. I anticipate that Richard and his friend will likely be lurking and checking up on this, so I do encourage you all to leave your words.
So, with the explanation out of the way, I present to you, Nan's The Finnish Mupps.
This is my story of 'The Finnish Mupps' my, Minski's and Ric's team in PSO.
Thanks to Lexin Skoldatanatet and Phantasy star online!
Elendara.... (Introduction) Chapter1
Sunlight came in trough the window. Elendara turned around in bed. "Mhhm..." she mumbled. Just some seconds later... "Sunlight!?!" she gasped for air. "Are we?" she was chocked. "Is the pioneer project finally going to end?" she stood up, walked to the window and looked out. There it was, blue and beautiful, Ragol "Wow..." she whispered.
Suddenly the broken alarm clock started to beep. "Ooop! I forgot about work!" she got dressed and she cooked a fast meal, or breakfast, ran down the stairs and got out to the street "Taxi!" she shouted.
A small red and black car came floating "yeees?" a voice said. "To the 'Yoshi's'! Quick!" "oookay" the voice answered. She jumped in the car and it drove away. After a few minutes, they were there. "100 Meseta" the calm, slow voice said. "Eh..." ....."Just give me the damn money!" the voice said. "Y-Yes, yes... here" Elendara gave the money to the taxi driver.
"Ok... Let's hurry.." She said. She started to run to the elevator. She pressed the button many times. "Come on!" she said. "PLING" the elevator sounded. "Finally" The elevator was full of retired people. "my g....AARGH!" She started to run for the stairs.
The retired people looked strange at her.
She finally stood in front of the door, she pressed the button for open, but the control panel answered "Beeep. Locked" "Locked?!" ...Gasping for air with her face all red, she said over and over "Locked!? Locked!?" swearing she started to push the door.
Suddenly a voice said "Ehmm.. Excuse me miss..." Elendara turned around "Yoshi's doesn't open until one hour from now" The voice came from a cleaner.".........T-thanks." Elendara said. The cleaner walked away. "......doh. I totally forgot!... Aww... And this morning started so good...Well...I think I just have to wait then" She walked to the toilet. "I think I have to go to a temperamental-control-class..."
she looked in the mirror and saw herself. "Oh my. I look like a troll." She smoothed down her red, half-long hair with some water.
After an hour she walked to the door and opened it "Yay!" she said silently.
She walked to her boss, Tim "Good morning" Elendara said. "Ohh.. Hello Ell." he answered. "Okay. I've got the camera team all ready to take some nice photos. Put these on." He said and gave some clothes to Elendara. "Ok thanks" Elendara said. She walked to the changing room.
After 10 minutes she came out. "Oh, Wow!" Tim said "Heh" Elendara walked to the green screen, almost tripping because of those very high heels, in front of the cameras. After some pics she went back to the changing room and put her old clothes on.
"So... Ahem.. Should I.." She was interrupted by Tim "No. I've been thinking and we should leave earlier this wonderful day."
"sure?" "Yes, just go have some fun!" Tim said "Thanks. See you later." Elendara went out. "I'm going for a walk. No taxi this time. I really need it."
It was in the middle of the afternoon. Elendara went to her favorite café, and sat down at her favorite table. She ordered some cookies and a strong cup of coffee. "Hmmm... My job is getting excessive.... hmm.. And my friends lives on the other side of pioneer2.."
After a long day in the "city" Elendara went home "I need a shower" She said to herself.
In the shower Elendara decided to get a new job.
End of chapter1
Bad news or good news? Chapter2
The night comes by and a new morning dawns. Elendara woke up. She looked in the 'mailbox' "hmm.. the news... looks like..!!" She dropped the cup, and it was smashed to the floor. The lights went out at the same time a big explosion was heard over the whole pioneer2. Suddenly the lights went back on and the radio continued playing old awful music.
"W-What was that?" Elendara said. She walked to the window and saw people running around in panic. "We interrupt the music for extra news" It came from the radio "Good morning. A big explosion was seen on Ragol in the Central dome area. We've lost contact with all the people from pioneer1 but our engineers are trying to find the contact that was lost. The principal has decided to send down "hunters" to Ragol, they will search for the thousands of people who where lost and check if Ragol really is a safe place. To report you as a hunter, come to the "hunters guild" near the hospital as fast as possible. " "..... Oh my.... It's not real... It has to be a bad dream.... Hunter? that's...." many thoughts came up in Elendara's head.
Without thinking, she grabbed all necessary stuff and started to run down to that hunter's guild. Much people had heard the news and the line was long. ".... What am I really doing?" Elendara thought.
Before you even have the time to say Red Ring Rico, she was pushed into the guild by a group of young boys. "Hey! Watch it!" Elendara shouted.
She stood in a corner of a room, with some other people. The door opened and a woman came out and said "Okay. Next, max 4 persons per team. Hurry!" 4 persons who looked like they had been together for their whole life, walked out of the room with the woman.
Elendara sat down in a chair. Beside her a HUcast was sitting, he looked bothered. "Ahem.. Mister..." Elendara was interrupted by the woman opening the door again "Okay. Next, max 4 persons per team. Hurry!"..... Elendara looked at the android.. and he looked back. "Hello? Are you people dead? I said max 4 persons each team!.. Well then... You two. Come on here." She pointed at Elendara's and the hucast's direction. "OH BUT PLEASE!" The woman yelled. The android stepped up, and Elendara followed him. "Finally!" the woman sighed.
"Okay. This way. Follow me" She said.
They stepped in to a big room. At the end of the room there was a counter. "Hmmm.. Ok you two in a team who will be the lead......" The door slammed up, a short lady came in "So Viola! I thought that we had a deal!" It was a Ramarl "Ooops! I'm not here!" The counter-lady bent down behind the counter. "Yeah right! You always forget everything! So come on and give me a good team to lead!" The ramarl shouted. "Ehh...H- Hello Minski...T-This team is ready for some action..." the counter-lady stuttered. "Hmm... Fine."
"Okay go get your weapons and mags and all the other stuff... Congratulations you're now lv1 .. Okay. you can register team name after the hunters-exam. Bye!" The woman said with a cold voice. (the one who showed them in to the counter room)
They started to walk to the registration/weapon/license room. "So umm... I'm Elendara.." "Good morning miss Elendara I am RICochet...""
"Yea yea.. I'm Minski" "Ok... Nice to meet you" Elendara said, she sounded a bit unsure "my pleasure" RICochet
said.
"This is it! Okay let's roll!" Minksi said. They opened the door and saw another counter. The room was full of boxes and supplies.
"Welcome to the registration/weapon/license room. How can I help you?" The counter guy said. "Me and my team wants to get the hunters-exam as quick as possible." Minski said. "Okay..." The guy pressed a few buttons on his computer and said "Team name?"
after a little talk they decided "The Finnish Mupps". "Mhhmm..." The guy pressed some other buttons and said "ok....two "hunters", HUcast and HUnewearl, and one "ranger", RAmarl... That would be two sabers, one handgun, three mags, twelve monomates and eight monofluids and of course 900 Meseta." The guy pressed a button and a little machine started to print out a strip of paper with all the stuff. "Go to the supplier and take out all the stuff on the list" "This is getting complicated." Elendara said. "But it is necessary" RICochet answered. "Well.. I guess" Elendara said "Ok stop talking and go get the stuff from the suplier" Minski said. "Yeah, yea...." Elendara said.
When they were at the supplier he said "List please!" with a dull voice. Minski gave him the strip of paper. "Mhhmm.. uh-huh k..... You are now registered. those boxes over there are the stuff you need." He pointed at some boxes in a corner. "Okay... I'm getting excited!" Elendara said. They ran away to the boxes.
"Hey! It says RICochet on this box" Elendara noted. "Yeah, you're right it says Elendara on this one" Minski gave the box to Elendara "Hmmm... There's a picture of a MAG on it!" "Yeah... so it seems" Minski said. Elendara opened the box and she saw her first mag. "aaw... Isn't he cute!" Elendara said. "Beep..Beep?" The mag said. "It seems that he is a bit shy" RICochet said."Well, Well... My turn"
Minski reached out her hand and grabbed a box. "Cool, Eh?" It was a handgun "Wow. Okay RIC.. your turn" Elendara said "Nickname accepted" RICochet grabbed a box "This box contains 4 monomates" He said.
After a couple of hours shopping, and getting ready they were... Ready for the exam.
"Okay..Puh.. I'm ready" Elendara said with a bit of nervousness. They all stepped in to the teleporter and disappeared with a blue light.
End of chapter2
Meet Elly Chapter3
Blue circles.... Balls of light... Spinning... "swishhh" They stood in the temple. "That was cool!" Elendara said. "Well, I look forward to do it again!" Minski answered. "Soo...This is VR" Elendara said.
"Okay. We must help each other out if something happens." Minski comment. "Yes of course" Elendara said. "Let's go" They moved for the door "RICochet? Are you coming?" Elendara asked. "Wait.. I am feeding this MAG" "Oh... I totally forgot about my mag.... here, you must be hungry" Smiling, Elendara gave a monomate to her mag. "Still hungry, eh?" "Silly, each time a mag gets hungry, it can eat 3 items." Minski said. "Ahem.. of course" Elendara said.
The door to their first room opened. A rappy fell down from heaven. "Ohh my... That chicken-looking bird is kinda cute" "I knew it.." Minski sighed.
"Ok. We need a strategy. I'll shoot it and you two have to strike it with your sabers ok? If he doesn't die... just hit him! we'll continue in that way." Minski aimed for the rappy and shot it "Wohoo! Right in the head!" Elendara stroke it with her brand new saber. "That's gotta hurt!" She said.
RICochet stabbed its stomach. The rappy fell dead down to the ground. "Yaay! It worked" Elendara shouted. "Don't get to cocky" Minski warned. "4 experience points gained" RICochet said. "Watch out!" Minski yelled when a dimenian almost cut the head of Elendara. "Wha?"
Minski pushed her to the side. "Oh.. T-Thanks Minski" Elendara puffed. Minski smiled with a cold smile to Elendara, before he shot the dimenian. Elendara struck it with her saber, and RICochet did what he did last time.
"This is going great!" Elendara said. "Yes. It was my idea after all." Minski said satisfied.
Suddenly some green circles appeared in a corner of the room. And a poison lily was standing there and loaded up a poison-ball. "Watch out!" Minski shouted. "I can not get poisoned" RICochet commented. "Good.. Let RIC get hit by the poison. And then we've got our chance." Minski suggested.
When the lily was defeated, the new team started to look around. "A green box!" Elendara pointed at a green box. She picked it up "A moon atomizer?" She asked. "Moon atomizer. Can bring life to dead. Can be used on fallen team members." RICochet said.
"Uh-huh.. Okay.. good to know." Elendara said.
When the brave team fought to the end of temple alpha and beta, they came to the final stage.
They stood in front of the big teleporter. "That should lead to the "boss" that rules over this place" Suddenly a beeping sound came from behind
"RICochet? What are you doing?" He stood in front of a little floating thing. It looked like a communication device of some kind.
"I just stepped to it and it started to beep" He said. "Hmm..." Minski mumbled.
"Hello?...Hello? *krzz* This is the lab" a female voice said. It came from the device. Elendara answered "Ehmm..Hello?" "Hi this is Elly from the lab" the voice said. "okay..." Elendara said. "It seems like you can hear me... Ahem anyway everything is going great. Congrats for those lv's." Elly said "Thanks" "If you walk in to the teleporter, it will take you to the final temple VR area. I recommend that you go to the shops first." Elly said "Ok.. Thanks again" Elendara said. "Well seeya!" "Beep" the device sounded. "Hmm... k.. Let's put out a telepipe." Minski said. "Yes". They went back to pioneer2 for shopping.
Back at pioneer2. The team went to the shops. "Wow.... much...." Elendara was interrupted by two young salesmen, winking and whistling to her and Minski. "Stop that would ya'?" Minski warned. The salesmen looked at each other and laughed. Minski went over to them and grabbed her handgun, just to scare them. "If you don't stop doing that... I'll put this gun up somewhere, and pull the trigger!" she whispered. The guys ran away. "Hehe.. Looks like they were in a rush! Wow Minski...." Elendara said. "Heh.. Thanks.. I'm an expert.... Almost." Minski answered.
When they had finishing shopping, they went back to the temple. "Ok... Everyone have 10 moon atomizers?... Good. Now let's move!" Minski said. They stepped into the teleporter and disappeared.
"Swishh!" They stood in the middle of a platform that was moving fast on a canal of deep water. "Ohh...." Minski was interrupted by a big larva-like fish, splashing up from the water. "There we have him or her!" Minski shouted. "Same strategy?" Elendara asked.
"No just hit it!" Minski said.
"Barba ray...Attribute:A. Beast " RICochet said. "Uh-huh..That would be the name on this beast right?" Elendara said. "Yes" RICochet answered. Suddenly Barba ray jumped up on the platform "Eeek!" Elendara yelled. "Now hit it! Fast!" Minski shouted.
The team started to attack it.
Suddenly Elendara was hit from behind by a Pig ray, the Barba rays babies. "AAhh!" Elendara fell to the ground... Everything became red and silent. She could see a light, and in the light there was a girl, screaming for help. Elendara tried to reach her arm out to help but suddenly a yellow light surrounded her and she stood on the platform with her team.
"Ehh? What happened?" Elendara asked. "You were attacked by a Pig ray... And you died.. But RIC here was fast enough to put you back to life before your spirit flew away." Minski said. "Thank you..." Elendara said. "We should focus on the enemy" RICochet said.
They started to attack it and everything went well. "Look! It's sinking!" Elendara noted. "Yeah. Couldn't eat to many lasers, eh?" Minski said. The whole team gained a lv each. "Beep.." A small communication device beeped. "Hello. It's Elly here... I saw all that.. Puh! Are you alright Elendara?" Elly said via the device "Yeees I'm alright" Elendara answered. "Good... You're welcome back to pioneer2 and the real life." Elly said. "Yes of course.. This is VR." Minski said. The platform stopped by a bridge. "Let's go... That teleporter sure leads back to pioneer2" She said.
Back at the lab... "Let's go shopping.. Minski are you coming?" Elendara said. "I'm going to have a word with the chief." Minski said. "Okay.. Have fun" Elendara said.
Elendara checked out the arms shop and RICochet stayed at the weapons shop. "Hmm... What should I buy?.. I got no problem with money... I was a mod....." Elendara was interrupted by the 'Techer' "HEY! I knew I've seen you before! You're that model working at Yoshi's!" he said. "Yes, that's me" Elendara said. RICochet looked strange at Elendara. "Ohh.. I'll give you A 20% free bonus if you shop here or come by every time!" The armor-guy said. "Thank you" Elendara said.
"Now that's just so not fair!" Minski was back. "Ehmm..." The armor guy said. "Do I get a bonus if I've been in the military?" Minski said. "Minski.. It's just bonus..." Elendara said. "I'll give you both 10% free bonus then." The armor guy said. "You don't have to..." Elendara tried. "Yes you have to!" Minski interrupted. "Are you trying to blast my patience away?" RICochet said. "I'm sorry" Elendara said.
"Well I'm finished here." she said. "Me to" "And me". The team went to the residential area. "Tomorrow, we'll take the next VR" Minski said. "Hey! Wait! This is weird... I think we should know each other more!" Elendara said. "Hmm... You're right.. I don't even know how old you are." Minksi said. "Let's go to a café or a restaurant.... I'll pay." Elendara suggested.
They went to small café. "Isn't this place to expensive?" Minski asked. "No.. I've got money... but no friends..." Elendara smiled. "You've got us now" Minski said. "Yeah, You're right... Let's order something" Elendara answered. Elendara and Minski ordered coffee, some cookies and snacks. RICochet was reading an old magazine.
"so.... how old are you Ell?" Minski asked. "I'm 18 years old..... wait...hmmm..... ohh.. next week." Elendara answered. "Cool.." Minksi said. "Well.. What's your last name?" Elendara asked. "Riksu, Minski Riksu" Minski answered with a smile.
"k...Before The explosion I was a model... You might know that already." Elendara said. "Yes... That's probably were you got all the money from." Minski said.
"hmm.. I've been thinking.. you're Oran right? And RIC's bluefull.. I'm Redria..."Elendara said. "Yes.. none of us are the same.." Minski answered. "There's one thing I'm still wondering about... how could that explosion affect pioneer2. And how could it be heard through space?" Elendara said. "I don't know... No one knows" Minski answered After a nice evening together the team was ready to say goodbye for today.
"It has been nice meeting you all" Elendara said. "Yes" RICochet said. "Very... Well.. I'm going now.. Bye!" Minski said. "Bye" RICochet and Elendara said. "Well... you're quite silent... Bye" Elendara said, winking.
Back at home Elendara went straight to bed. "Ahh.. What a day.... But I still wonder about that girl.... Red.... Well tomorrow's a new day". She lied down and closed her eyes and went to sleep in a couple of seconds.
End of chapter3
Hunters exam Chapter4
Elendara woke up with a weird smile on her lips. "*Yawn* .. Hmmm.... What was it with that dream?" she said. "Ahh.. A new morning... I hope the next VR field will go just as well as last one..." she thought. She made a breakfast and sat down in front of her computer. "Hmm... Mail from Minski..... We'll meet at the hunter's guild at 13:05 pm. Take care. -Minski"
Elendara got ready and was heading for the guild. Ricochet and Minski were already there "Hi.. Over here!" Minski shouted. "hello" Elendara said. "Good morning miss." RICochet said. "Minski... Don't you think we should buy a newer system for RICochet... He's kind of boring." Elendara whispered to Minski. "Hehe. Sure! I know someone who's good at machines" Minski answered. The team went to the lab. "Ok. Next VR is the spaceship questions?" The informer said. "No.. Thanks" Minski answered.
"The teleporter is the same"
They went to the teleporter and disappeared with the blue light.
"Swishh" They stood in the spaceship alpha "Hey! Where's RIC?" Elendara asked. "Ehmm.. I can't see him" Minski answered. "Well.. I'm sure he's alright.. Let's move" They got into the next room and it was full of wolf-looking monsters. "Same tactic" Minski said. The monsters was defeated. "Wow! I found Disc Resta lv2... What's that?" Elendara asked.
"It's a technique..." Minski answered. "Uh-huh... Well I'll use it." Elendara used the technique and could now heal herself...
"This is good" Elendara said. "Look what I've got!" Minski (cast?/)used barta. "Wow... Cool" Elendara said. "Well come on now there's just one little robot left." Minski said.
When the enemy was killed, They stepped into the next room that were a corridor. "There's no ceiling here...or walls. just a bridge" Elendara said. "Look over there!" She pointed at another corridor or bridge, a few meters away. "It's RIC!" Minski said. "HELLO!" Elendara shouted. RICochet waved to them. "OK let's move... I think we'll meet in the next room."
They walked into the next room that was a big hall with weird walls that was showing different pictures of Ragol. They saw RICochet, he came out from another door. "Hello.. This spaceship's tricky. Let's stay together." Minski said. Enemies appeared out of nowhere. "Attack!" Minski shouted. Every single enemy was defeated.
It went well in whole spaceship alpha. They had some problems with beta and the delsabers. But they where finally there... the final VR stage. "Finally!!" Minski said. "Shops first?" Elendara asked. "OK"
They went to pioneer2 and back to spaceship.
"Ok I'm ready" Elendara said. They stepped into the teleporter that would take them to the 'boss'.
This time they stood in a big room. The floor was see transparently blue. The walls was full of monitors. Suddenly a big dragon came out of a monitor. "Oh my..." Elendara said. "Here we have him. Let's attack!" Minski said. "Gol dragon... Attribute: Native." RICochet said. The dragon started to blow fire, electricity and ice. The team tried hard to run behind the dragon and strike it from behind. Everything was going ok until the dragon suddenly copied itself. Now There was two dragons in the room.
"This ain't good!" Elendara said. "One of them has to be a fake!" Minski said. "We'll attack the left one first!" Minski suggested.
They attacked the dragon, but it was very hard because the dragon was moving all the time. "watch out for the tail!" Elendara shouted. But it was too late RICochet was slammed into the wall. "Noo! Dammit! I'll give him a moon atomizer." Elendara ran over to him and gave him an atomizer. "Ehh?... Hello" RICochet said. "....Ohh... You must have got a real hit in your head..." Elendara said. "come on! Let's kill this thing and go home!" Minski said.
The dragon disappeared. "Ah-hah! One down!" Minski shouted. "Okay I know we can do it! Attack!" Elendara shouted.
"Let's do a Photon Blast!" RICochet said. "What happened to him?" Minski asked. "I think he'd got a real hit in his head" Elendara answered. "Okaay" Minski said.
"1...2..." "Wait!!" Elendara interrupted "I don't have full photon energy!" She warned. "Let yourself get hit by the dragon."
And so she did.. The mag started to spin and a yellow light surrounded it. "OK now." Elendara said
"1..2...3.!" A big fish appeared, Estlla, and attacked the dragon. Then a wormlike thing, Farlla attacked it. And at last a big deer appeared and shot some electricity on the dragon. "It has to be dead now!" Minski said. The dragon fell to the ground and died. "wohoo!"
Elendara shouted. "beep. *krrzzp* Hello? Elly here." It came from one of those devices. "Hi Elly" Elendara answered. "I saw your android got a hit by the dragon.. Is he ok?" Elly said. "Hmm.. Yes.. And he's nicer now.. Something must have happened to him.." Elendara said. "mhmm.... Strange... Well good then. Congratulations! You have completed the hunters exam!.. And yes.. when you come back to pioneer2 I'll meet you personally. seeya! beep..." "cool" Elendara said. Let's go back to pioneer2.
"Swishhhh" They stood in the lab. "Hey! Look! It's Elly!" Elendara noticed. They walked up to the counter and Elly. "Hello"
"Ohh.. That's how you look like" RICochet said. "Eheheh... Well... You are doing great!... I can take a look at your android... I love machines!" Elly said. "Yea.. Thanks. We would like him to have a personality.. .. You know" Elendara said. "Well, well... I'll see what I can do.. now go to the chief." Elly said.
"You are now Hunters! Congratulations! You have now my permission to go down to Ragol."
"Thank you" Elendara said. "RIC... you'll have to stay here with Elly.. Seeya later!" Minski said.
"Heh! You seem to become good friends with Elly." She said. "Really? I'm really just talking to her." Elendara said.
"Yes... You're lucky... From no friends to that many in just two days... " Minski said. "Let's go and eat something.. We have to celebrate the hunters exam! I know a nice place!" Elendara said. "hehe.. Ok" Minski said. They walked away in the evening....
Ragol
Chapter5
The Finnish Mupps met outside the teleporter that would take them to the principal.
"Hello.. So RIC you're back! How does it feel?" Elendara said. "hello.. Maybe more free." RICochet answered. "Good.. We're all here." Minski said. "Why do we have to go to him first?..... I mean the principal." Elendara asked. "I don't know... He said something about information.." Minski answered.
"Principal... Tyrell" Minski called when they had gone into the teleporter. "Ohh.. You're here... Your mission as hunters down on Ragol is to investigate the central dome area. Search for survivors and clues that might help us knowing what happened down there. Good luck." Tyrell said.
"Hey! Over here!" a lady behind a counter said."Yees?" Minski said. "Principal has lost his only daughter. She went down to Ragol.. But she didn't come back" The lady said. "You mean Rico? She's a hunter?" Minski said. "Yes... He is quite upset about her... So don't tell him that I've been talking to you. Can you please try to find her?" The lady requested. "We'll try" Elendara
said.
"Okay Let's go down to Ragol" Minski said. They went to the teleporter and disappeared.
"Swishhh" They were in the forest. "Ahh! I haven't seen real trees for a very long time!" Elendara said and took a deep breath. "Mmm... Wonderful..." Minski said. "Let's go this way." RICochet said.
"Well of course.. There's only one door.." Minski noted. "It's high walls here.. It would be waste of energy to even think of climbing them" Elendara said. "Why do they call this a forest? There's barely any trees here!" Minski said. "Yeah... You're right.. That's strange." Elendara
said.
They walked out of the room and saw five 'Boomas' walking around in circles. "yoooho! We're here now!" Minski shouted. The Boomas started to walk towards the team. "Nice job! And now what?" Elendara said. "Well, sorry then! Just attack them" Minski said to Elendara.
Minski gave them one headshot each. Elendara and RICochet started to strike them with their sabers. When the "room" was clear they continued the search.
RICochet pressed on a button, and the door opened. "This way" He said. They came into a "room" with a small stream. "This place would be great for a break!" Elendara said and smiled. "You know why we're here right?" Minski said. "... yea,yea.." Elendara said. "Look. A rappy" RICochet said. "Ohh...that's what they're called..." Elendara said. Suddenly the "room" was filled with other monsters. "I'll take those two" Elendara pointed at two Boomas in a corner.
"OK"
They cleared out the enemies and so it continued until the forest2 area, when they saw a hildebear.
"Watch out for the fireballs!" RICochet warned. "It happens to be foie.." Minski corrected. "Whatever" RICochet answered. "Can you stop nagging, come and help me with this instead!" Elendara shouted. They killed the hildebear and moved on until they came to the 'boss' teleporter.
"I really wonder where this thing leads." Elendara said. "well... There's only one way to find out!" Minski commented. "Come on! Let's go" she said before they disappeared.
"Wow.. Look at this place! It's like an underground arena!" Elendara said. "ye..." A big dragon came out of the ground. "Holy...!!" Minski said. "Ehh... Another dragon?" Elendara said. "Dragon.. Attribute: Native..." RICochet said. The dragon landed in the middle of the room and started to blow fire at the team. "Eeek! Don't burn me!" Elendara yelled. "That's not helping" Minski said.
"Strategy?" RICochet asked. "Go to its feet and hit it until it drops down and then hit it more!" Minski suggested. "Ok.. I'll try to hit it extra hard!" Elendara said.
The dragon fell down and the team slashed the dragon.
"Giving up, eh?" Minski teased.
The dragon rose and flew high up. "This room has a very high ceiling." RICochet said. "Watch out!" Minski shouted. The dragon dived right through the ground. "It can come up anywhere...." Minski whispered. "Look!" Elendara pointed at a big heap of soil and stones. "It's moving?!" She said. "Apparently.. And right towards us!" RICochet said. "Run!" Minski
suggested.
Suddenly the dragon came up right through the ground and left a big lava-filled hole behind him.
"Eeek! Watch your step!" Minski warned.
"He's coming down again!" Elendara shouted. The dragon landed and started to walk around, blowing fire. "Now! Attack like last time!" The dragon dropped with a big rumble to the ground. Elendara and RICochet stood close to the dragon and slashed it and Minski shot it. The dragon tried to rise but it couldn't. "Haha! I knew you weren't as dangerous as you look!" Minski said. The dragon sounded like dragons do and died.
"Wohoo! We made it. And it didn't cost us a single moon atomizer!" She said. "What are those boxes?" Elendara asked. "I don't know... Try to open them... Or just break them." Minski said. Elendara slashed the box and it exploded. "There's something on the ground that came from the box.. Ohh.. It's 10 Meseta!" She said. "Ok let's go back to pioneer2!" Minski
said.
Back at pioneer2. "Ok.. This is our new life as hunters... quite monotonous" RICochet said. "Yes... But it's still fun!" Elendara said, smiling to RICochet. "Let's take time off from work next week." Minski suggested. "That would be really nice.. But why?" Elendara asked. "Oh.. You'll see..." Minski said secretive "What about a girl's day tomorrow?" She said while walking away. "Great! Leave a message!" Elendara said. "So.. Umm.. What are you going to do tomorrow?" Elendara asked.
"Dunno...I'll just sit down in my loneliness and think." RICochet answered. "Ohh... I'm sorry... But you heard Minski girls...." Elendara was interrupted by RICochet "Just you go.. and have fun. You need it." ".... Thanks.... If you ever need me... I'll be there for you." Elendara said with a warm facial expression, Before she walked away.
End of chapter5
The reunion, the terrible news and the truth
Chapter6
"...I killed the bartle and it gave my lv100... That's my story from lv 1-120" Elendara said. "Yeah.. Good old times...By the way, It's gettin' late... I'm going home... Bye." Minski said. "See you tomorrow then." RICochet said. "So.. That's your story.. I can still remember some parts." He said. "Yes... hehe... First time we went to the forest...*sigh*" Elendara said. "Do you remember first time we went to the beautiful beach.. the seaside?" RICochet said. "Yes....." *Flashback*
Back at lv 50. "Wonder where this leads." Elendara said. "It says... Seaside" RICochet said. "That sounds great" Minski said. "Do you really think that we'll find Flowen?" Elendara asked. "Don't worry.. Let's go." Minski said with a calm voice. They disappeared.
"Swishhh" The team stood in a small room. A little ray of light came down from a hole in the ceiling. "These walls.. It's rock... This must be a beach. Look.. there's a way out.."
Minski said.
They walked out of the small room and came out on a big beach with white sand and high cliffs.
"................" Minski couldn't say a single word. "......." Elendara tried. "........?" RICochet continued.
"Just look at that water! Blue like.... like.... like something I've never seen before!" Elendara pointed at the water. "Wow.... Wonder if there's any fish out here..." Minski said. "This place has a high rate of relaxation." RICochet said. "Can't we just skip our job for once and go swimming?" Elendara asked. "Hmmm..... Alright! Hehe! Just for once..." Minski answered. "ohh... It's not cold..Hehe!" Elendara said when she dived into the
water.
After a long day at the beach, The Finnish Mupps decided to go back to pioneer2 instead of hunting.
*Another flashback* "Yeah.. I remember that..." Elendara said. "Maybe Minski's right.. It's really getting late." She said.
"Well, goodnight then" RICochet said. "Goodnight... And..." Elendara said. "And?.. What?" RICochet wondered. "Ehh... Nothing.. Ahem..." Elendara said. "So.. Bye. Seeya!" Elendara walked away. "So many years and Lv's and she's still keeping a secret..." RICochet thought.
Next morning at a café."Hmm... Look at this..." Minski said while reading the news. "What?" Elendara asked. "All hunters should gather in the lobby Friday 17:00. To celebrate the hunters festival and this year we are going to have a dance floor available." Minski read. "Sounds fun.." Elendara said. RICochet and Minski looked at Elendara. "... Oh come on! Don't tell me that you can't dance!" Elendara said. "Ahem.. Hmmmrh.. Heh.. Never had the time.." Minski said. "Ehh.. I'm not programmed to dance.." RICochet said.
"Bah! Well... I'm satisfied if you at least just show up. It's the hunters festival after all." Elendara said. "Now I have really much stuff to do before the festival." Elendara said. "Like choosing clothes and hair style" Minski whispered to RICochet. "This day has just begun. You have the whole day on you to do all the 'important stuff'. The festival's tomorrow.. More than 24 hours!" Minski said. "Oh... I think you're right.. I didn't really think..." Elendara said. "Hmm.. Maybe it's not a bad idea after all... I need to buy new clothes.. and get my hair fixed! But that costs over 10 000 Meseta" Minski said. "So? Not much..." Elendara said. "Heh.. I know.. But my little Rukmin eats such expensive food" Minski answered.
The team talked until 15:43 o'clock.
"Oooph! Gotta go home and cook dinner and all that stuff!" Minski said. "Yepp... Well.. seeya tomorrow then." Elendara said. "Hmm.. What should I do? I got noting planned.." RICochet said. "Would you like to come over and have a talk, RIC?" Elendara asked. "Sure" RICochet answered. "I've got a recharging station at home.. If you need.." Elendara said with a smile.
Later at Elendara's apartment. "Well... There's the TV and the remote.. I have to take a shower.. It'll take... Perhaps 10 min." She said. "Thanks" RICochet said.
After 11 minutes Elendara came back from the bathroom. "Ahh.. We should have more 'days of', It's sooo nice." Elendara said. "Yes... We get time to do whatever we want to." RICochet said. "I'm just wondering about something.. Is there any person that you like? More than someone else?"Elendara said."Hmm?" RICochet said. "Ohh... Umm... Forgive me.. It was a stupid question.. You're an android.." Elendara answered. "No It's OK.. But I understand what you mean. Elly's quite nice.. And cute." RICochet said. "Ahah... I knew you weren't too stiff." Elendara said. "Well... If you don't mind... Can you give me those clothes? It's getting annoyning to hold this towel..." She said. "Ohh.. Sure" RICochet gave her the clothes and she got dressed. "I got to go." RICochet said. "OK... Well.. It was nice to have you here.." Elendara smiled. "Bye." RICochet went out. "Hmm... This day did go very fast... Time to go buy some new clothes." Elendara
thought.
After a long, silent night, Elendara woke up. "Ahh! Morning... It's going to be a great day today." Elendara said to herself.
At 16:57 o'clock the team stood in the lobby and talked. "Ohh I'm so excited! What if I get a medal?" Elendara said.
"That would be fun, heh!" Minski said. "It's starting!" RICochet said.
A tall man stepped up to the stage. "Welcome ladies and gentlemen to this years Hunters festival! I'm Gon and I'll guide you this evening. We'll give out medals to brave hunters tonight and then comes the dance. We'll end with 'Hunters of the year prize drawing'." Gon said. "5 medals will be given to hopefully 5 different Hunters. Let's begin! For the great support and helping skills you have been a blessing to your team.... Fiyra the FOnewearl! Congratulations!
Applause.." Gon said. Everybody cheered when Fiyra stepped up and received the medal "Thank you! Thanks to my lovely team!" Fiyra said, almost crying.
"Next prize... For the fantastic accuracy and shooting skills, you have been given this prize. Take it with pride, Tix3000 the RAcast!" Tix3000 received the medal and Gon
continued... "You have always been by yourself, never looked back even if your loved was dead. It's yours, this medal for your great endurance, Umbril the HUmar!" Umbril got the prize and Gon
continued... "For your extreme close-combat skills you have been awarded this prize, always helping your team out even if you think your just in the way, your a real star. We wouldn't have made it without you, Lamirna the HUcaseal!" Lamirna stepped happy up and received the medal. "And the last prize!" Gon said.
"Gettin' exciting!"
Elendara said. "You're always late and you're always lost when your team goes down to Ragol, maybe you think that you're forgotten, but your team members always go looking for you. It doesn't matter if you're not in time you're still our hero, Esmerila the RAmarl!" Gon said. Esmerila received the prize. "Applause, for all these hunters!" Gon said. "Could have been me..." Minski said. "Now.. Dance time! At 19:30 it'll bee last prizes and luck wishes! Have a good evening." Gon stepped down.
"So... I got to find someone to dance with." Elendara said. "I think I'm going to sit here and have a drink." Minski said. "Really? Just you wait.. I'll get someone for you. hehe" Elendara said.
After half an hour Minski came to Elendara and asked."Hey,Ell? There's a cute guy searching for you!" "Have A drink? How many drinks did you take?!?.. Wait...!!! Can you tell me more about that guy?" Elendara asked. "HUmar.. I think... He told me something about old friends.. his name is.... Revell..." Minski said. "....!!!! Eeek! Ehh... I'm not here.. Tell him that.... eh.. I'm just not here OK?" Elendara said. "Sure." Minski said.
"How in....?? How did he find me? How does he know that I'm a hunter now?" Elendara was chocked. She turned around and saw Revell coming to her but he hadn't seen her yet. "Ohh... Oh no..." Elendara tried to hide behind all the dancing people.
"Excuse me! I'm sorry!" Revell tried to make a way trough the people to the dance floor. Elendara stumbled away in high-heeled shoes, or at least she tried to. But it was to late, Revell had already seen her. "Elendara, wait!" He shouted. "Oh no!" Elendara closed her eyes and took a deep
breath.
Suddenly Revell grabbed her arm. "Ahh!" Elendara screamed. "I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings! I didn't see that I still love you! Please, Let's start over... back to square one! Please I know that you still have feelings for me!" Revell said, very fast. Elendara was chocked too many thoughts came trough her head. "...........I.. But... Ehh?" Elendara tried. "Please! Let me come back! I miss you!" Suddenly Elendara gathered courage and understood what really happened "Let me go! Get your hand of me!" Elendara said. "No, you don't understand I.." Revell's hand burned on Elendara's skin. "Let go! Ahh!" She pushed him and he fell backwards right into a table full of drinks. The music stopped and everybody stared at Revell and Elendara. "...I ......" Elendara couldn't think. She started to cry...
Very silent.
Suddenly Gon stepped forward and said. "What happened here? Who..Who did this?" "That man attacked that woman and..." A woman said. Two guards came in and grabbed Revell and took him away. "Miss? Are you alright?" Gon asked Elendara "I..I'm.... S-sorry" She fell into Gon's arms and cried. He followed her to a table and Minski and RICochet came. "Oww.. I'm sorry Ell... I know.. It hurts." Minski said. "....." Elendara sighed. "Hmm... She needs rest. I'll tell my men to take her back home." Gon said. "Thanks.." Minski answered. "I'll stay here.. The festival will continue, right?" She asked.
"Of course" Gon answered.
Later... "It's now time for the last prizes! and the first award... You have done a great contribution to the Hunters guild and pioneer2, we are still amazed that you have managed to get that high Lv without getting bored. The Team of The Year award goes to....... The Finnish Mupps!" Gon said. RICochet and Minski stepped up to the stage and received the prize, 3 medals, one million Meseta and 5 times free 'changing-room' tickets. "Team The Finnish Mupps consists of Minski the RAmarl team leader, RICochet the HUcast and Elendara the HUnewearl. But She's not here right now... Applause!" Gon said. "Woooho! Thanks to everyone!" Minski shouted. The team stepped down.
"Ahh! I just knew I would get a prize!" Minski said. "Yeah... Nice medals.. But aren't you worried about Elendara?" RICochet said.
"Hmm? Ooh.. Yeah.. Maybe one of us should go talk to her." Minski suggested. "I'll go." RICochet said. "Okay.. But be careful... Don't play with her feelings... It's not easy when you have a broken heart." Minski said. "I'll be careful, bye." RICochet said.
When he knocked at the door, he could hear Elendara cry. "Y-Yees?" She said. "It's me RICochet..." RICochet said.
Elendara opened the door and fell into RICochet's arms and cried even more. "Ehhm.." RICochet didn't know what to do. "I'm sorry... Come in." Elendara walked away to the kitchen and RICochet followed her. "Minski said that someone should come and speak with you." RICochet said. "Thanks... Revell... I met him when I was 16 years old.. We fell in love... But suddenly he started to yell at me and call me nasty things... And one day.. He told me that he'd met someone else. I moved here and left him with his new girlfriend. I don't understand how he even dared to come back to me..." Elendara said. "Hmm... Don't you love him anymore?" RICochet asked. "No.. Or.. I don't know.. I don't want him to be here." Elendara answered. "Hmm... We won the Team of The Year award.. Here's your medal." RICochet said. "Ohh. Thank you! That's very good... Well... If you don't mind... Could you please stay here? Until the morning comes...?" Elendara asked. "Hmm... OK.. But just one time... And only until the morning." He answered. "Thank you... My friend." Elendara said. She was so tired and fell asleep with those
words.
When Elendara woke up, RICochet where gone. After two hours she stood outside principals teleporter, just as Minski told her to. "There you are!" Elendara said when Minski and RICochet came. "Let's go." Minski said.
"Team The Finnish Mupps! I've been waiting for you... I've got some terrible news..." Tyrell said. "We're listening.." Minski said. "We have discovered that the monsters living down on Ragol seems to reappear!" "What?" Elendara and Minski said at the same time. "What do you mean? That all the monsters we've killed just... Reappear? Wait... Now I understand.. Ell do you remember when we wondered why the forest's always full of boomas even though we already killed them...? " Minski asked. "Yes... So it seems... By the way... You should go to the lab..." Tyrell said. "Thanks... bye" Minski said.
End of chapter6
The Seabed, the end
Chapter7
Later in the lab... "You should go to the seabed area... Maybe you'll find something there.. We have got some strange signals from there." Elly said. "Doesn't sound very nice...Seabed..." Minski said. "Be careful!" Elly said when the team went to seabed.
"This place looks.... Dark..." Minski said. "There's water everywhere....and almost up to my knees!" Elendara said. "Let's go.. This way." RICochet said. The team walked trough the corridor and the door. "Look at this room... What are those boxes?" Elendara asked. "Recoboxes... Be careful" RICochet said. "It doesn't look very dangerous.." Minski said. Suddenly one of the boxes opened. "Here they come.. Recons.. Watch out for their bombs." RICochet said. Elendara drew her Red handgun, Minski her Final Impact and RICochet his Orotiagito when all the Recons where dead, 5 dolmolms appeared "What's that?" Elendara asked. "Dolmolms..." RICochet said. The team killed the Dolmolms and continued with the rest of seabed upper levels with much trouble and problems.
In seabed lower levels... "Look! There's a message device." Minski said. "Maybe there's a message from Flowen.. Another one." Elendara said. "Yes.. Let's check it out." Minski said.
"...I am..." "...powerless, yet..." "...I have..." "...everything..."..."...In this dark abyss......"...I wait...".."...for the savior of..."..."...the red captive child..."...
"...My destruction..."..."...At the bottom of..."..."...the deep abyss..."..."...I wait..."......"...Wait..."..."...thcliff..."......"...Flow..."
".... Uh-huh.. This is even more weird than the other ones..." Minski said. "Hmm... Red child.. I wonder what it means." RICochet said. "Well... Let's move on. I'm sure that we're not so far from the end." Elendara said.
...They were finally at the teleporter that would take them to the final area. "Phew! Finally.. We're here... Those Delbiters weren't nice!" Elendara said. "Yes.. But we're here now.. Let's go." Minski said. "I'm quite scared... Or.. I mean I'm nervous.." Elendara said. "Everyone's got what they need?" RICochet asked. "If I don't make it..." Elendara said. "Stop that! Of course you'll make it. You've got us!" Minski said. "I'm ready for whatever it is we'll meet." She said. "I'm sure that it's gaint beast as always... But since this is the last area... And Elly said something about an elevator... I really wonder what it is." Elendara said. "Let's go!" Minski suggested.
They stood in a elevator. "Schhhh..." "What? Did you hear something Ell? Wait... I heard something too..." Minski said. The elevator started to move. "It's coming..." RICochet said. A giant monster with spider-like legs came down. "HOLY...! Eeek?" The team was not really ready for something like this. "He's too far away for swords. Shoot him!" Minski said. "Aaah! Ow.. Try to avoid the sword attack.. It really hurts." Elendara said. "Try to concentrate." Minski said. "I'll show you my Red handgun!" Elendara said. It was really hard, everything was a mess. But suddenly.. "It looks more tired now than before!" RICochet noted. "Take this!" When Minski shot the beast, it fell down. "Ahh! Watch out he's taking the whole elevator with him!" Minski yelled.
Booom! "*Cough!* Hello? Are you alright?" Elendara said. "Uh.. I think so... Where are you?" Minski said. "I'm here. just beside you." RICochet said. "Stay where you are. I'm coming. But it's tough to walk trough the water." Elendara said. "..Wait a minute... Water!?" Minski said. "Wow! what a big place. And dark." Elendara said "I really hope that it's not leaking.... Hah! We killed that monster. Cool, eh?" Minski said. "Let's find a teleporter." RICochet said. "What's that?" Elendara pointed at a big shining ball of light. "Oh. Looks like a spirit. But bigger.. It's floating around the body of that thing. There's something strange with this beast." Minski said. "Um.. There is no teleporter.." RICochet said. "Strange... Ryuker won't work!" Minski said. "We're trapped!" She said. "Should we catch the spirit?" Elendara asked. "Why?" Minski wondered. "Maybe it's the only way out... It's worth a try." Elendara answered. "I guess..." Minski said.
When Elendara touched the ball of light and the giant beast rose. "This can't bee good..." She said.
"Look! He's got legs... Ohh my G..... That's the hugest thing I've ever seen!" Minski said. "Be careful as hell!" Elendara said. "It's better to shoot it than hit it." Minski said. "Aim for the feet!" she said. "What a mess!" Elendara shouted.
The monster said something insignificant and shot a magic like ball right towards Minski. "Minski watch out!!!!" Elendara screamed. "Ahh!" Minski fell down to the water. "Are you alright? Where are you? Minski do you hear me?" Elendara was scared and sorry. "Minski!" She said. But it wasn't Minski that rose... ".....! Flowen!" Elendara gasped for air. RICochet was very surprised too. "How what?... Ahh!" The monster hit Elendara and she flow away but she was quickly on her feet again. Again the monster mumbled something insignificant and Minski was back in the water again. "Uh..What happened?" She said.
"according to my calculations... This beast is no one else than.. Flowen himself!" RICochet said. "What!? So Flowen changed body with Minski?" Elendara asked. "Well.. It's quite complicated. It's logical, if you think about all the message logs, and put them together. But this doesn't look like research. That body is very dangerous he hid himself in this abyss so that he could not hurt anyone... Anyway, sort of changed spirit with Minski to not harm itself." RICochet said.
"Now's our chance! Photon blast! Now!" Minski yelled. Estlla, Pilla and Golla attacked 'Flowen'. "He's still not dead! Quick, for the sake of our lives kill it!" She said. "I'll give him some of my Yamato!" Elendara said. She ran for the feet and hit him. RICochet was fast beside her. Suddenly it said something and started to fall. "Run! Just run! Watch out!" Minski said. It fell down and disappeared. A man, Flowen flew up and a sword fell down it landed just before RICochet's feet.
"!!" Before he had the time to take it, it was gone. "Ah.. Too bad... I almost had it in my hands..." He said. "Phew... We did it... It's over... Once and for all..." Elendara said. "That was the scariest thing I've ever been trough in my whole life!" Minski said. "Let's return to pioneer2." RICochet said.
"Elly!" Elendara said. "Oh. I'm so happy that you're alright.. We lost contact... It looks like it were a hard battle.. You look very exhausted." Elly said.
Minski told her everything that happened. "So.. It's all over... But I still wonder what Flowen had to do with Rico and What the beast that we call
Olga Flow had to do with Dark Falz... Some questions will never bee answered..." Elly said. The Finnish Mupps was now celebrated in whole pioneer2 just some hours after the battle. Minski was at home and relaxed, but RICochet and Elendara sat down at a bench and looked at the stars. "What are you planning to do now when everything's over?" Elendara asked. "Hmmm.. It's a very hard question... But I've always wanted an own bar..." RICochet answered. "Nice.... I like you.... I feel relieved and very happy... How do you feel?" Elendara asked. "Feelings are strange things... Even I have them.....
If I would tell my inner 'feelings' right now, you wouldn't understand... It's a feeling that you, humans/newmans call Love"

End of chapter 4 (If you wonder why I didn't write much about the fights, it's because it would take so much time to write down every single move)
