*Hayate logs in*
Hayate: …
*suddenly, the same Ya Tribe PC from yesterday crashes into him*
Hayate: GAH!!! What the hell?!?
: I THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO STOP PLAYING THIS GAME!!!!!
Hayate: Dammit, man, what’s your problem?!?
: …I have no friends…
Hayate: *sarcastically* Gee, I wonder why…
*Hayate stands up and crosses his arms*
Hayate: *sigh* Look, I’ll give you my member address, okay? Just stop doing that every time I log in, haishou?
: …O-Okay.
Hayate: …Hey, what’s your name anyway? I can’t see it on my display.
: Huh? Oh, sorry, forgot about that. I usually keep my name hidden so I don’t get targeted by players I run into.
Hayate: …Yahiko?
Yahiko: Yup! Well, see ya ‘round! *logs out*
Hayate: …Why do I feel like I just signed a death warrant?
*minutes later, in the Alchemy District…*
Hayate: Hehe! This is a nice weapon! I can do some real damage with this!
: Nice blade there, kid.
Hayate: Thanks. And it only cost me-- HOLY CRAP!!!
*Hayate stumbles over and looks up to see Kyuzo*
Kyuzo: Yo!
Hayate: Dammit, Kyuzo!!! Are you stalking me or something?!?
Kyuzo: Like I said, I’m talent-scouting.
Hayate: …That’s complete bull and you know it.
Kyuzo: …Maybe… Change your mind about joining me yet?
Hayate: Would you go away already!? I thought I made it clear that I want nothing more to do with you!!! *runs away*
Kyuzo: …Heh… I’m persistent and I never give up, kid… You’re about to learn that the hard way…!
*minutes later…*
Kyuzo: Hey, kid!
Hayate: …No.
*minutes later…*
Kyuzo: Yo!
Hayate: No.
*minutes later…*
Kyuzo: …Hey, Hayate.
Hayate: No!
*minutes later…*
Kyuzo: Um…
Hayate: NO, NO, NO!!!!! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!! *runs away*
Kyuzo: …Hmph. I can see that I’ll have to resort to drastic measures… *snaps fingers*
*suddenly, a silver-armored Flick Reaper with blond hair falls down from the sky and lands on his feet, creating a small tremor*
Kyuzo: DAMMIT, MAN!!! THIS IS THE LAST TIME I’M GONNA TELL YOU!!! STOP DOING THAT!!!!
: …Sorry, master…
Kyuzo: *sigh* Never mind… You see that kid with the spiky blond hair? I want him to join my guild…one way or the other.
: …I understand…
Kyuzo: …You know what you must do…
: …Yes, master… Consider it done… *logs out*
Kyuzo: *smirk* If this doesn’t work… Nothing will!
*hours later, in an oriental dungeon-type area…*
Hayate: …Man, it’s quiet… Too quiet… *hears a noise and spins around* Kyuzo!? *sees no one there* Ohhh… Get it together, Hayate… It’s just a game…
*in the final chamber, the Beat Statue comes into view*
Hayate: Yes! Almost there!
*Hayate begins running towards the statue; suddenly, the silver Flick Reaper jumps down to meet him*
Hayate: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!! DON’T SCARE ME LIKE THAT!!!
: Hahahaha!!! My sincerest apologies!
Hayate: *gets up and dusts himself off* Huh? …Who the hell are you? Some kind of Power Ranger or something?
Piros VIII: Hehehe… *strikes a pose* Behold! I am the gleaming knight! The bringer of justice! The defender of truth! …But you, he of fair eyes, may call me… PIROS VIII!!!
*silence, whistling wind*
Hayate: *sweatdrop* …That’s okay… I’ll just call you nuts…
Piros VIII: Hahahaha!!! I see my mere presence has you at a loss for words!!!
Hayate: …Yeah… If you don’t mind, I’d like to get the Beast Statue treasure now--
Piros VIII: HALT!!!!!
Hayate: *gulp*
Piros VIII: Before you make any sudden movements, I first present to you a proposition…
Hayate: …What kind of…?
Piros VIII: Imagine, if you will, a guild unlike any other. A guild whose power and beauty surpass even that of The World itself!
Hayate: …Uh-huh… And this guild is…?
Piros VIII: The greatest guild to ever be formed in The World!!! THE SAMURAI 7!!!
Hayate: …Samurai…7…?
Piros VIII: Yes indeed!! And the guildmaster, perhaps the greatest guildmaster to ever live, is--!!!
Hayate: Kyuzo sent you, didn’t he?
*Piros VIII suddenly falls over comically*
Piros VIII: AWW!!!! YOU DIDN’T LET ME FINISH!!!!
Hayate: Look, I don’t know what Kyuzo told you, but I’m only saying this one more time! I’M!!!! NOT!!! JOINING!!! HIM!!!!
Piros VIII: *sigh* ‘Tis truly a shame, he of fair eyes…for I was ordered not to take “no” for an answer!!! *draws scythe*
Hayate: …Oh, crap…!
*Piros VIII pounces on Hayate, swinging his scythe downward; Hayate rolls out of the way, just barely dodging Piros’ attack*
Hayate: Oh, man…
Piros VIII: Hahahaha! You move rather nimbly!
Hayate: And you’re completely outta your mind!!!
*Piros swings his scythe so much, he eventually strikes the platform transporter, disabling its use*
Hayate: (Crap!!! There goes my ticket back to town!!!)
Piros VIII: Hahahaha! There’s no escape now!
*Piros eventually corners Hayate near the Beast Statue, a bottomless pit right behind him*
Hayate: Oh, jeez…!
Piros VIII: So… *readies scythe* …Have you changed your mind yet?
Hayate: No! I’m never joining Kyuzo! Not in this or any other lifetime!
Piros VIII: Your will’s resilient indeed… *raises scythe*
Hayate: AAAAHHHH!!!!
: LEI ZAS!!!
Hayate/Piros: What the hell?!?
*Piros is suddenly struck from behind by a bright laser beam spell*
Piros VIII: I…am…Piros…VIII…
*Hayate moves out of the way just in time for Piros to plunge straight into the pit*
Hayate: *heavy sigh* (Where’d that Lei Zas come from?)
*Yahiko emerges from the shadows holding a Shadow Warlock grimoire*
Yahiko: Hey!
Hayate: Yahiko!
Yahiko: I saw Piros chase you through the Chaos Gate, so I thought I’d follow just in case you needed some backup.
Hayate: Heh! I guess I was right to give you my member address, huh?
Yahiko: Damn straight!
Hayate: C’mon. Let’s head back. *looks at the broken transporter* …Looks like we’re going the long way. Think you can handle a few monsters?
Yahiko: *smirk* Just try to keep up.
*Hayate and Yahiko dash into the dungeon tunnels; meanwhile, at Samurai 7 @home…*
Kyuzo: …Let me see if I got this straight… I send you to recruit Hayate… And not only do you fail to do so, but you also get your ass handed to you by a Warlock… Is that right?
Piros VIII: …Yes…
Kyuzo: Hehehe… Well, Piros… You know what I’m gonna do now?
Piros VIII: *gulp* …P-Pit of Despair?
Kyuzo: …Pit of Despair. *pulls lever*
*Piros falls through a trapdoor in the floor; roaring flames and evil laughs can be heard inside*
Piros VIII: AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! THE FLAMES!!!!!! THEY BURN!!!!!! THE MUSIC!!!!!! IT BURNS EVEN MORE!!!!!!
Kyuzo: Hmph. …That Hayate kid’s getting to be a real pain…
*suddenly, a brown-haired Valiant Archer girl walks in and kneels down*
: *in monotone* Master Kyuzo… Glaive LeGable has begun to move…
Kyuzo: Tch! Damn them… It’s so soon… We’ve only found 4 of the Samurai 7… Move up operations! Double our efforts!
: Yes, master Kyuzo…
Kyuzo: Oh, and Haruhi…?
Haruhi: Yes?
*Kyuzo walks up to Haruhi and removes her glasses*
Kyuzo: …Did anyone ever tell you that you look beautiful with your glasses off…?
Haruhi: *in monotone* …No, master Kyuzo.
Kyuzo: *sigh* Cold as ever, I see… Never mind. Back to work.
Haruhi: Yes, master Kyuzo. *walks out*
Kyuzo: *sigh*
Piros VIII: *from inside the pit* SHOT DOWN!!!!
Kyuzo: *eye twitch*
*Kyuzo pulls another lever, causing flames inside the pit to intensify*
Piros VIII: AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
~ Next Time on Infected! ~
Izumi: We call ourselves Glaive LeGable.
Coolidge: Don’t ask what it means. I’ve been in this guild for five months, and I still haven’t figured it out! HA!
~*~*~*~
Hayate: Is this one of those…you know…“Lost Grounds”?
Izumi: I don’t know. It’s possible.
~*~*~*~
Orion: We’re looking for seven legendary weapons. They’re called the “.hack//Arms”, said to have been wielded by Kite and his band of “.hackers” 27 years ago.
~*~*~*~
Coolidge: So, what do you say? You up for a little treasure hunt?
~*~*~*~
Kyuzo: The .hack//Arms WILL be mine!!! And I’ll take down anyone who gets in my way!!!
Piros VIII: *sob* Even me, master?
Kyuzo: OH, SHUT UP, PIROS!!!!
