Chapter 2: Martial Artist

The eight arrive at a building with a sign named Login at the front.

Risa: "Isn't Pixel Reality one of those games where you literally go inside?"

Robert: "Yeah and Ms Faire wants you to join whether you like it or not."

They walk inside to find their usual Log in and Sign up desks.

William: "Guys I'll help Risa, you guys log in."

Micheal: "All right."

The six head into a room off to the side.

Risa: "Help me with what?!"

William: "Make your account."

They head over to the sign up desk.

William: "Now you need to pick a class. There are eight choices."

Risa looks at a list and notices the last one.

Risa: "(daydreaming) Martial Artist... like my anime..."

William: "They just added it yesterday, you want to try it?"

Risa: "Yes!"

A woman input the class into a glove like William's.

William: "Now for a Player ID."

Risa: "(bluntly) I might as well go with what I am and go Otaku."

The ID is put in."

William: "Uh... okay?"

The lady gives Risa the glove.

William: "Now put on that ID Glove and head over to a scanning room. I'll meet you in the Delta server."

William rushes into a scanning room without a second thought.

Risa: "(annoyed) H-Hey! Don't leave me."

The lady leads Risa into a dark room with a pedestal with a hand shaped hole in it.

Risa: "(nervous) I-I guess I just put this hand in that pedestal?"

Risa shakily holds her hand above the hole.

Risa: "(determined) I've gotta be like my heroes and charge in without fear!"

Risa puts her hand in the hole as the scanning process starts up.

Risa: "What?!"

A bright flash of light occurs as Risa closes her eyes.

Risa: "(dazed) H-Huh?"

Risa opens her eyes to find herself in the center of a lively village.

William: "Nice choice of clothing."

Risa finds that she is wearing a worn out karate gi, has bandages around her hands, and is barefoot.

Risa: "(confused) W-Where are we?!"

Kyle: "Relax, we're inside a giant supercomputer and your clothing changed you into your avatar."

Risa: "(fangirling) This feels like I'm in an anime!"

Andrea: "Glad to know she got used to it quicker than a certain someone..."

Micheal: "Hey!"

Isabel: "Well in this game you level up and gain new skills like an RPG."

Risa: "(excited) I'm gonna go beat the shit out of some enemies!"

Risa makes a mad dash in a random direction while leaving the others behind.

Robert: "She is in her own world..."

The group chases after her.

William: "Whoa!"

Risa is punching enemies through trees and kicks anyone who comes from behind.

Anthony: "I guess you got the RX gene from your father since there is NO way she could do this so soon."

Risa tosses the second to last enemy into the last enemy and becomes Lv2.

Kyle: "That reminded me of when Axl and Kitsune first showed off the Beast and Gunslinger classes."

Anthony: "(cocky) Then that means we looked awesome!"

Isabel: "Don't let it go into your head."

Risa: "That was awesome!"

William pulls out an invite option on his ID Glove.

Micheal: "You're not going to..."

William sends an invite to Otaku.

William: "I had to or my mom would continue to harp on me for the next month."

Risa checks an invite on her ID Glove.

Risa: "(bluntly) Are you actually asking me to join you guys?"

William: "It's your choice if you accept it or not."

Risa hesitates for a moment.

Risa: "(sighing) Might as well."

Risa accepts, but in Pixel Reality HQ...

Man: "(shocked) What the?"

Maximilian Walker, head of Pixel Reality, receives a message in his computer.

Walker: "(shocked, reading) Hello Walker, it is nice to see you again. I want you to send Shining Star to this location. Farewell. P.S. I have a new accomplice with me."

Walker begins to freeze up.

Walker: "I need to get Shining Star!"

A boy around 16 stands up from a corner in the room and reads the message as well.

Boy: "(falling apart) No, no, no, no, no, no..."

Walker pulls up a group chat on his computer as he closes out the message.

Walker: "It will be fine Caleb. Aegis couldn't have possibly gotten a powerful accomplice in a short amount of time and be able to fight again."

Caleb returns to his corner and begins rocking back and forth with a lack of sanity in his eyes...
