~ Eternal City of Mac Anu; April 5, 2037 ~
*Hayate logs in after creating his PC*
Hayate: Wow… This is awesome…
*he walks forward until he meets two PK’s*
IYOTEN: Hey, you!
Hayate: Huh? Who, me?
Tamao: Yes, you! The red Brandier!
IYOTEN: I take it this is your first time playing The World?
Hayate: Yup! I just created my player a few minutes ago!
Tamao: Heh… You’re pretty honest.
*IYOTEN and Tamao look at each other sinisterly, then look back at Hayate*
IYOTEN: Y’know… We happen to have a bit free time on our hands. If you want, we’ll be glad to show you how to play the game.
*IYOTEN turns away from Hayate as he trails off in his speech*
IYOTEN: You could say we’re…tutors. We seek out newbies like yourself and show them the ropes of The World.
Tamao: Uh…IYOTEN?
IYOTEN: It always gives us that feeling of accomplishment knowing that there’s one more newbie safe from the terrors of beginning a game and not knowing what to do next.
Tamao: …IYOTEN?
IYOTEN: It’s almost we’re doing a service. Pretty selfless, isn’t it?
Tamao: IYOTEN!!!
IYOTEN: Dammit, Tamao, what’d I say about interrupting me when I’m giving my pep talk!?!?
Tamao: … *points towards the dome door*
*Hayate is seen walking through the door and into Mac Anu*
IYOTEN: …I did it again, didn’t I…?
Tamao: …Yup.
*Hayate walks through the streets of Mac Anu, taking in the sights*
Hayate: Wow… This place is amazing…
*suddenly, a Ya Tribe PC runs up to Hayate*
: AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Hayate: What the f**k?!?
*the PC then grabs Hayate’s shoulders*
: THE END IS UPON US!!!!! WHATEVER YOU DO, YOU MUST STOP PLAYING THIS GAME!!!!!
Hayate: …Uh… Hit your head there pretty hard, didn’t ya, buddy?
: “IT” WILL DOOM US ALL!!!!!
*the PC suddenly runs off in the direction of the dome*
Hayate: …Ooooooooooooooooookay…
*minutes later, Hayate stops in front of the @home*
Hayate: …I wonder where this leads…
*he tries to open the door, but can’t*
Hayate: Damn! What’s with this door!?
: That’s the @home. Ya can’t go in unless ya got a guild key.
Hayate: Hmm?
*Hayate turns to meet a tall black-haired PC dressed in black*
: …You’re a noob, aren’t ya?
Hayate: Yup! Just started today!
: *mockingly* “Yup! Just started today!” Jeez, kid, you’re as giddy as a Powerpuff Girl!
Hayate: …
: …Huh? Oh, my bad. The name’s Kyuzo.
Hayate: …Hayate.
Kyuzo: Hayate… As in Hayate Jin?
Hayate: How do you know that?
Kyuzo: Meh. I used to watch the “Karibu no Kaizoku” series when I was little…
Hayate: …Okay, whatever. I gotta go now… *walks towards the transporter*
Kyuzo: *stops him* Hey, what’s the rush? Y’know… I was just about to form a guild… Wanna join?
Hayate: …No thanks… *transports to the dome*
Kyuzo: …Heh… Nice try, kid… But no one says no to Kyuzo!
*later, in a field area…*
Hayate: Wow! What a view!
*suddenly, something sneaks up on Hayate*
Hayate: !!! *draws blade and turns around* …Huh? *looks down*
*a Lucky Animal looks up at Hayate*
Hayate: Hey… *kneels down* …I think I read about these in the manual. “Lucky Animals”. If you kick them, you get a prize.
Lucky Animal: … *smirk*
Hayate: Huh!?
*the Lucky Animal wags its two tails and tackles Hayate to the ground*
Hayate: …Ow…
Two-Tailed Fox: HAHAHAHA!!!! Fox: One! Stupid PC: Zero!
Hayate: “Stupid”?!? *jumps up* I’ll show you, you dumb animal!!!
*Hayate goes up to kick the Fox, but it disappears; as Hayate kicks the air, he slips and falls into the water*
Hayate: *gurgling* …I hate foxes…
: Not so easy, is it?
Hayate: Hmm?
*Hayate lifts his head up out of the water and sees Kyuzo*
Kyuzo: Yo!
Hayate: Are you following me?!?
Kyuzo: No, no, no! I’m merely…talent scouting.
Hayate: …
Kyuzo: So! Have you changed your mind yet?
Hayate: No, I haven’t! I’d rather play this game on my own! I find it more challenging to play a game you’ve never played before by yourself. That way, you’d get more out of the experience. Haishou?
Kyuzo: …You are one really weird kid…
*after collecting the Symbol Fragments, Hayate walks towards the Beast Temple*
Hayate: …You’re still following me, aren’t you?
Kyuzo: …Heh…
Hayate: WOULD YOU GO THE HELL AWAY?!?!? I DON’T WANT TO JOIN YOUR GUILD!!!!
Kyuzo: Sorry, kid… But I don’t take no for an answer…! *draws blade*
Hayate: *gulp* … *draws blade* I should’ve expected this… You’re a PK… Making up all that guild crap just so you could PK me out in the open… Talk about sneaky…
Kyuzo: Please… You’re making me blush…
*wind whistles and flaming tumbleweeds roll by as Hayate and Kyuzo stare each other down*
Hayate: …
Kyuzo: …
: …NOW!!!
*suddenly, a group of Kestrel PK’s jumps out and confronts the two*
PK1: *in PK language* Don’t move! We have you surrounded!
Hayate: W-What?!? What’d he say?!?
Kyuzo: Ignore him. Where were we?
PK2: I said, don’t move!
Hayate: I CAN’T UNDERSTAND YOU!!!!
PK3: *sigh* I’ll handle this… Hey, you! The guy with the blade!
Hayate: Who, m-me?
PK3: NOT YOU!!! Him!!!
Kyuzo: …Can I help you?
PK3: …You’re Kyuzo, aren’t you?
Kyuzo: …And if I am…?
*the PK’s suddenly start to laugh evilly*
Hayate: …W-Why are they laughing?
PK3: …Black hair… Black attire… A long samurai sword… There’s no question!
PK4: The deadliest PK in The World… The notorious “Phantom Samurai”… The most wanted of all the blacklisters… Kyuzo!!!
Kyuzo: *sigh* News sure travels fast, doesn’t it…?
Hayate: …Deadliest PK? …Phantom Samurai!? …BLACKLISTER?!?!?
Kyuzo: Uh… Yeah. Did I forget to mention that?
Hayate: YOU COULD’VE BROUGHT IT UP!!!!!!
PK3: There’s no point in resisting!! Prepare to be PK’d!!
: NOT SO FAST!!!!
*suddenly, another group of Kestrel PK’s jumps out*
Hayate: …This can’t be good…
Kyuzo: *sigh* …It’s hard being famous…
PK5: Joke all you want!!! You won’t be joking once I have your head on a pike!!!
Hayate: COULD I GET SOME SUBTITLES OVER HERE PLEASE?!?!?
PK’s: Kyuzo’s head is ours!!!!
: I DON’T THINK SO!!!!
*just then, a third, fourth, and fifth group of Kestrel PK’s jump out; Hayate and Kyuzo are now surrounded by 50 PK’s*
PK6: Kyuzo’s mine!
PK7: Over my rotting PC corpse!!!
PK8: *draws broadsword* That can be arranged!
Hayate: Okay!!! Going to freak out now!!!
PK3: Alright, how about this? Kyuzo’s bounty must be worth billions! We’ll take his head with us, collect the bounty, and split it 50 ways! Deal?
PK’s: DEAL!!!
*the PK’s all leap into the air and pounce on Kyuzo and Hayate*
Hayate: WE’RE GONNA DIE!!!!!
Kyuzo: …Oh, get a hold of yourself… You’re about to see why they call me the Phantom Samurai…
*suddenly, time appears to slow down around Kyuzo*
Kyuzo: *inhale* *exhale*
*Kyuzo jumps up into the air until he’s at level with the PK’s*
Kyuzo: …KYAAAAH!!!!
*Kyuzo then unleashes a series of 50 blinding fast slashes without moving from his midair position; he then returns to the ground and sheathes his sword*
Kyuzo: … *snaps fingers*
*the PK’s all drop to the ground and disappear one-by-one*
PK3: …D-Damn…you… *disappears*
Kyuzo: Well… That was surprisingly disappointing…
Hayate: …You can’t be real…
*Kyuzo walks up to Hayate and extends a hand to him*
Kyuzo: …So… You change your mind yet?
*Hayate suddenly rises to his feet and glares at Kyuzo*
Hayate: HELL NO!!!! You attract way too much attention!!! I’d be completely out of my mind if I ever decided to join you!!!
Kyuzo: …So is that a “yes” or “no”?
Hayate: You tell me!!!
*Hayate swings his leg and his foot connects with Kyuzo’s face; as Kyuzo lies in a daze, Hayate stomps towards the Beast Temple*
Hayate: Join his guild?!? HAH!!! Yeah, that’s rich!!
*inside the Beast Temple…*
Hayate: *walks up to the chest* *sigh* At least this adventure will be over as soon as I open this chest…
*as soon as Hayate opens the chest, the Two-Tailed Fox pops out and tackles him*
Hayate: GAH!!!!
Two-Tailed Fox: HAHAHAHA!!!! Fox: Two! Stupid PC: Zero! *disappears*
Hayate: …I hate this game…
~ Next Time on Infected! ~
Hayate: Would you go away already!? I want nothing more to do with you!!
~*~*~*~
Kyuzo: …You know what you must do…
: Yes… Master…
~*~*~*~
Hayate: …Who the hell are you?
Piros VIII: I am the gleaming knight! The bringer of justice! The defender of truth! …But you, he of fair eyes, may call me… PIROS VIII!!!
Hayate: …That’s okay… I’ll just call you nuts…
2nd Phase: Methods of Madness!
*Hayate logs in after creating his PC*
