Chapter 7: Alpha and Beta

The next morning...

William\ Robert: "YOU GUYS WENT SERVER SURFING WITHOUT US????!!!!"

Kyle: "Relax, it was only a test run with the boards."

Robert: "Why did I have to have a stuffy nose yesterday?!"

William: "It's fine. No exploration was done without us."

Isabel: "We're going to check out Alpha and Beta today right?"

Andrea: "Seems like a plan."

Bell rings.

All 7: "Let's meet up here."

Throughout the day, Shining Star keeps seeing people showing off ID Cards and the further mention of Tomorrow's Knights, until the day ends.

Anthony: "(excited) Now let's head over to the Alpha server!"

William: "You guys can even show us where we can get our boards!"

The seven rush towards the Login building and log in.

Anthony: "Follow me!"

Everyone enters the board shop by the ocean a few minutes later.

Robert: "Oh... that's why they're boards."

William notices the cost of the cheapest board.

William: "(shocked) H-Holy shit these things are expensive!"

Robert notices as well.

Robert: "(shocked) Looks like only the best of the best get to server surf!"

Anthony: "(cocky) That's us right?"

Kyle: "But of course!"

Isabel: "Yes."

Anthony: "(cocky) See?"

The two spend nearly all of their money on boards.

William: "Just teach us how to ride these things."

Everyone goes outside and readies their boards.

Kyle: "(jumping on board) Listen guys, all you have to do is-"

Kyle takes off like a rocket again.

Kyle: "(in the distance) Thiiiiiisssss..."

Micheal and Anthony hop onto their boards.

Micheal: "Just get your balance and push forward a little."

Anthony and Micheal blast off after Kyle.

William: "Okay..."

William, Robert, Isabel, and Andrea blast off towards Alpha.

Robert: "This shit is awesome!"

William: "W-Whoa!"

Isabel: "Just try to keep your balance! We're almost there!"

The four see land in the distance.

Andrea: "Land ahoy!"

The four find Kyle tripping on the shore as they arrive.

Kyle: "(dizzy) Why does that keep happening to me?"

Anthony: "(laughing) I have no idea!"

The others walk up to them.

William: "So each server has a different theme.."

Andrea: "Yeah, Delta is more Eastern while here, it's more like ancient European cities."

Anthony: "Let's start exploring!"

Robert: "(in awe) Yeah..."

The seven walk around the main city of Alpha. There are NPC sheep herders, temples dedicated to gods, and the shops are all in a marketplace by the shore. The enemies look different, but have identical abilities to Delta, but they dropped different items.

Andrea: "Alpha really is different from Delta."

Kyle: "We definitely need to come back at some point!"

Isabel checks the time.

Isabel: "It looks like we have enough time to check out another server."

Robert: "Why not Beta?"

William jumps onto his board when they get to the shore.

William: "Let's go then!"

Micheal and Anthony hop on their boards as William takes off.

Anthony: "See you guys there!"

Micheal and Anthony follow.

Kyle: "(jumping on board) I should have this-"

Kyle flies off again without warning.

Kyle: "(in the distance) C'MON!!!!"

The remaining three hop onto their boards and fly off. Five minutes later...

Isabel: "There's our stop!"

They jump off to see Kyle face planted into the ground.

Kyle: "(muffled) Every time..."

William pulls Kyle out of the ground.

William: "Everyone's here."

The landscape of Beta is far more desert like than Alpha and Delta. The buildings are sheriff offices, general stores, and saloons, but as they explored...

Borian: "Aegis, the X program is complete."

Cian: "(exhausted) I can barely feel my hands."

Liam: "No kidding."

Aegis begins laughing.

Aegis: "Gialias, Quenis! Initiate the X program. Lykio, Misilo, everyone! You can head home early today."

Liam: "O-Okay!"

Everyone leaves the moment the X program is activated.

Aegis: "(laughing) Now to wait for the program to infect all ID Gloves! And to think that they don't even know a thing about what X even is!""

Back in Beta...

Robert: "What the?"

Robert notices a small group of Players have a blank, emotionless stare in their eyes and their skin got a little paler.

Isabel: "(thinking) How bizarre... but why is the question."

Micheal: "(puzzled) Maybe they lost track of time and never went home."

William checks the time.

William: "We should log out. We'll think about it more tomorrow."

All seven log out.

Robert: "Let's go to Omega tomorrow. We can think more about as we surf."

Andrea: "Okay..."

The seven head home...
