[colour=SlateGray]"Sure... Go ahead..."[/colour] Yoshiki said, walking off towards the edge of the room - leaving a trail of blood behind him. A whitish blue light shone from beneath him as Keiko messed around with some commands on the other end, teleporting the boy up onto the 
balcony where Shizuka once stood. Not only that, but his arm was healed as well.

Yoshiki couldn't stop himself from smiling. Whoever this person was that Keiko had invited, they were damn good at this. Their moves were precise, and their skills well honed. Even from where he stood, the air of years and years of training was undeniable. This "Shizuka" was something else. Without even realising, the battle was over. She had just taken on 4 bots at once and made the AI surrender. Just who the hell was she..?

As soon as the battle ended, the balcony vanished from existence and Yoshiki was placed directly underneath. Yet, as he walked up to praise the panda for their prowess in battle, he was stopped.
[b][color=black]"I have something to ask of you before anymore words are spoken. Do you love games? I feel that you do from watching you fight. If the answer is yes than would you like to play a game that is even greater than this one? A game that makes this one small in comparison?"[/color][/b]

Huh? Was she serious? Something that made this fighting experience seem small? From what he had experienced, there were little to no fighting games that actually mirrored fighting close to perfectly - with this being one such few. How could there be something so much larger in comparison that Yosiki [i]hadn't[/i] heard about?! Day in and day out, he would check for something new to play. And here this person was telling him that there was something he had overlooked?!

[colour=SlateGray]"You're joking, right? I've been checking for games for years, so if there was something, I would've seen it. I mean, it'd be pretty damn awesome if there WAS something like that, but..."[/colour] His eyes flickered to her avatar, essentially replaying her fight, [colour=SlateGray]"You aren't joking, are you... If you are offering me the chance to play something new, I accept fully. Hah, this might actually be something Keiko hasn't heard of![/colour]

Keiko couldn't stop herself from giggling. In fact, she already had a text window open, and her hand was already dancing across the keyboard.

[i]Mamorimasu,
Sorry to call upon you, but... *giggle* I think I win. Did we actually make a bet in the end? No matter. I do believe I am victorious ^-^

- Kieko, Ember Armoury[/i]

In the instant the message was written, she hit [i]send[/i] and closed the window. Her eyes flickered back to the camera feed from inside the Virtual World.

[colour=Crimson]"Welcome back, Black King..."[/colour] she muttered, taking another drink of juice.

[i]"You're impossible!"
"What the hell are you?!
"S-stay away, damnit!"[/i]

Idle screams... It's not like anyone can help. Even the armies of every Legion combined can defeat him. But why would they attempt? It's not as if anyone has a chance...

Every scream, every plea. They're darkest moments set in stone as a death date. How is this being even possible? Within the confines of this universe... The very confines of time do not hold him down.

It's like the very game is unable to hold his immense power. The glitches and physical shudders in space visible attests to it. His form twists and shatters only to reform elsewhere. And, before the people can even realise, his sword cleaves them in twine. 

From an army of [i]five[/i].
