In the Delta server...

William: "Whoa!"

The buildings look like a mix of two different styles and the ground is nearly destroyed.

Asaka: "So this is a general idea of how the Delta server looked like."

The Knights of Hope have a slightly different arsenal compared to Shining Star. Zack, Tori, and Edo have a sword, a bow, and twin pistols respectively, Cole has a cannon, Serena has shurikens, Emily has a tome, Asaka has a staff, and Roy has a scythe.

Roy: "Looks like there are similarities and differences between the two games."

Isabel: "No joke."

Risa: "Just point me in the direction of the first boss."

Cole: "Well, we actually have no idea!"

Andrea: "From the looks of it, I would say that the general area should be the same for both."

Serena: "So let's hurry up and level up!"

Kyle: "Don't."

Tori: "Just don't."

Serena: "(confused) What?"

Zack: "Let's just go."

The two groups start walking in the same direction.

Emily: "Is the area same for both games?"

Micheal: "Probably. They would have similarities more than just the ID tech."

The group come to a valley that is half green, half orange.

Risa: "This looks like a boss arena."

A scream is heard within the distance.

Asaka: "That didn't sound good..."

William: "What're you guys waiting for?!"

The group rushes into the valley to find two different Players fall to a strange creature riding on the Rank 1 boss.

Serena: "The bosses fused too?!"

Risa and Serena ready their weapons.

Tori: "(in horror) Those Players..."

The Players become clouds of binary and vanish.

Isabel: "Does this mean that if you die..."

Emily: "...you're gone for good?"

William and Zack join up with Serena and Risa.

Zack: "I'm not going to lose my sister again!"

William: "I'm not going to have my half sister vanish on day one!"

Risa punches the boss only for her to be sent flying.

Serena: "Are you okay?!"

Risa: "More or less."

Serena tosses her shurikens at the boss, dealing minimal damage.

Risa: "Is this supposed to be Rank 1?"

A blast of wind sends the rider towards Risa.

William: "Suplex it Risa!"

Risa: "If you say so."

Risa grabs the rider and slams it into the ground.

Serena: "Now for this guy."

A sword swing leaves behind a giant gash in the stomach.

Zack: "Hit it where it hurts Serena!"

Serena: "On it!"

Serena lodges the shurikens deep into the cut.

Risa: "How about I blast this thing into oblivion!"

Risa smashes the rider into the ground.

Risa: "Aqua Wave!"

A blast of water shoots out of Risa's hands and causes major damage to both beast and rider.

Serena: "I'll finish it!"

Serena blasts the two with shadows similar to Andrea.

Serena/ Risa: "And finished."

They both gain a few levels, with Risa hitting Lv7.

William/ Zack: "Talk about teamwork!"

The others finally catch up.

Edo: "That shit looked awesome!"

Anthony: "No kidding!"

Serena: "(fangirling) Thank you William!"

William: "Uh..."

Andrea: "But don't take off like a bullet next time."

Risa: "(confused) Why?"

Asaka: "If you die, you're dead."

Risa: "(annoyed) Why am I getting PTSD?"

Micheal: "Well we're going to have to work together if we want to deal with Anti-Aegis, so why don't we temporarily merge the guilds?"

Roy: "Are you actually suggesting that?"

Isabel: "He is right and some of us can already work together."

Tori: "I'm fine with it."

Unanimous decision.

Zack: "So what will the temporary name be?"

Everyone keeps tossing odd names left and right until...

Risa: "Shining Hope."

Emily: "Shining Hope?"

Asaka: "I mean it makes sense."

Kyle: "Then let's roll with it!"

Robert: "All right!"

The moment is soon killed when they realize the time.

Everyone: "See you guys later!"

Everyone logs out and books it home.
