~ Celestial City of Dol Dona; April 17, 2037 ~
*Hayate, Izumi, Coolidge, Neon, and Usa-chan all gate into the town and collapse onto the ground*
Hayate: …I never thought I’d be happy to away from an area…
Usa-chan: …My fingers hurt…
Coolidge: …All my healing items…gone…
Izumi: …I’m exhausted…
Neon: …I need a shower to wash off all this sweat…
*Hanabi gates in a few seconds later and ends up standing on top of Hayate*
Hanabi: WHOO!!!! What a rush!!! I can’t believe I leveled up 49 times!!!
Coolidge: Of course you did… YOU WERE AT LEVEL 7!!!!!
Hanabi: So, what do we do now, guys? Go to another hard area? Take on a quest?
Neon: …No quest… Rest now…
Izumi: Yeah, Hanabi, let’s just take a break, huh?
Usa-chan: …My fingers hurt…
Neon: Okay, Usa-chan! We get it!
Hanabi: Hmph! You guys are all boring! If you’re gonna be like this all day, I’ll just go find my own adventure! *walks off into Dol Dona*
Hayate: Huh? Hanabi, wait! Don’t go off on your own! …Ohhh… My fingers ache so much from fighting, I can’t move my PC…!
*in Dol Dona Square…*
Hanabi: Hmm… I wonder what I can buy in a place like this…
*Hanabi eventually wanders into the alleyway leading to the @home*
: …Hey…
Hanabi: Huh?
*Kyuzo steps out of the shadows to greet Hanabi*
Kyuzo: … I hear you’re lookin’ for me…
Hanabi: …Uh… *takes out bounty list* …Hey! You’re Kyuzo!
Kyuzo: Hehehe…
Hanabi: *ahem* I, Hanabi the Persistent Firecracker, challenge you to a battle!!!
Kyuzo: …Persistent Firecracker…? Tch! Talk about a lame nickname…
Hanabi: What was that?!?
Kyuzo: …I’ve got no time to play with a stupid newbie… *walks off*
Hanabi: Hey, wait! *jumps in front of Kyuzo* I’m not letting you leave until you agree to fight me!!
Kyuzo: …I’ll tell you what, kid… Come back in three years and maybe I’ll fight you…
Hanabi: Grrrr…
Kyuzo: Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta meet with someone…
Hanabi: I TOLD YOU, I’M NOT LETTING YOU LEAVE!!!!
Kyuzo: *eye twitch* You’re starting to piss me off, girly…
: …Yo.
Hanabi: Huh?
*Hanabi turns to see a brown-haired Wave Templar in a cape*
Kyuzo: Oh, Kaga. There you are. You got the stuff?
Kaga: Yeah, I got it. You got the money?
Kyuzo: Naturally.
Hanabi: Hey! We’re not finished here, Kyuzo!
Kyuzo: Go away, you little brat!!! Me and Kaga are doin’ business here!!!
Kaga: Hehe… You surprise me, Kyuzo… You never really struck me as the babysitting type! Ha!
Kyuzo: Cram it, cape-boy!
*Kyuzo gives Kaga 50,000 GP; Kaga gives Kyuzo a set of weapons and armors*
Kyuzo: You know, Kaga, my offer’s still open. We could use someone with your expertise in finding rare weapons in Samurai 7.
Kaga: Like I said before, Kyuzo, I’m not interested. *disappears in a puff of smoke*
Kyuzo: *sigh*
Hanabi: NOW will you fight me?!?
Kyuzo: *groan* …Hmm? *smirk* …Okay, kid… I’ll fight ya… Meet me in front of the Chaos Gate in 2 minutes…
Hanabi: Hahahaha! I’m gonna mop the floor with you!
Kyuzo: …We’ll see… *uses the green transporter to warp to the Chaos Gate*
*minutes later, the members of Glaive LeGable run towards the alleyway from the east side of the Quest Shop while Hanabi runs towards the Chaos Gate from the west side*
Hayate: Hanabi! Where are you!?
Izumi: She must’ve come this way!
Neon: Let’s check around the @home area!
Usa-chan: Good idea!
*ten minutes later…*
Hayate: *panting* Did you find her yet?
Usa-chan: There’s no sign of her anywhere!
Izumi: You think she might’ve gone to Mac Anu? Or maybe another area?
Coolidge: Quick! To the Chaos Gate!
*at the Chaos Gate, Hayate peruses the area word directory to see which areas were accessed after q Returning Invincible Huge Being*
Hayate: …Oh, man! There are dozens of area words in this list! Hanabi could’ve gone to any of them!
Coolidge: …This ain’t good…
Neon: *sarcastically* …What was your first clue?
*Hayate suddenly drops to his knees*
Hayate: Oh, man… What do I do now? I gave Alkaid my word to look after Hanabi and I let her down…!
Izumi: *puts hand on Hayate’s shoulder* Don’t worry, Hayate… We’ll find her! I promise!
Hayate: *stands up* …Yeah. Okay, let’s start with this area-- *BEEP, BEEP!* --Huh? A short mail? …It’s from Orion! He wants us to come to the @home right away!
*meanwhile, in a dark grassy field…*
Kyuzo: …This plan’s so evil, I can’t believe I thought of it! Ha!
*Piros VIII circles around the statue of Hanabi*
Piros VIII: You’re a credit to PK’s everywhere, boss!
Kyuzo: Why, thank you, Piros… Now GET AWAY FROM THE GIRL BEFORE I BEAT YOUR FACE IN!!!
Jack: So… What do we do now?
Kyuzo: …Now… We wait… Piros, you sent the ransom note, didn’t you?
Piros VIII: Yup! Sent it to Arian just like you said!
Kyuzo: …Arian…? …You were supposed to send it to ORION, you idiot!!!
Piros VIII: …Oops…
*Kyuzo draws his blade, kills Piros with one slash, and sheathes his blade*
Kyuzo: *sigh* …Haruhi?
Haruhi: Ransom note sent at 0400 hours earlier today, Master Kyuzo.
Kyuzo: And that’s exactly why you’re my favorite, doll!
*…Glaive LeGable @home…*
Hayate: …A RANSOM NOTE?!?!?
Orion: If we don’t give Samurai 7 Elk’s Staff by 5:30, they’re gonna put Hanabi in a coma…
Coolidge: Aww… And just when we finally tied with Kyuzo…
*suddenly, everyone glares at Coolidge angrily*
Coolidge: …I-I mean, those bastards!!
Izumi: What should we do, Orion?
Orion: We can’t afford to let Samurai 7 get the other .hack//Arms… But I also fear for Hanabi’s safety…
Neon: …Hmm? Hey, where’d Hayate go?
Usa-chan: Look!
*the group sees Hayate walking out of the rear chamber holding Elk’s Staff*
Izumi: Hayate!
Neon: What are you doing?
Hayate: I’m doing what Alkaid told me to do. I’m looking after Hanabi. *exits the @home*
Coolidge: …H-Hey! Wait up, Hayate!
*outside the @home, Hayate walks towards the green transporter; suddenly, Alkaid warps in from the Dome to meet with Hayate*
Alkaid: I’m back!
Hayate: *gasp* (Alkaid!)
Alkaid: So, did you have fun? …Hmm?
Hayate: …
Alkaid: What’s wrong, Hayate? Why do you have that face?
Hayate: …
Alkaid: …Hey, wait. Where’s Hanabi?
*Hayate says nothing and warps to the Dome*
Alkaid: H-Hey!! Where’re you going!? …
*suddenly, other Glaive LeGable members run out of the @home*
Izumi: …Huh? Oh, hello. You must be Alkaid.
Alkaid: Uh, h-hi. Are you all Hayate’s friends? Please! Tell me what happened!
All: …
*moments later…*
Alkaid: …SAY WHAT?!?!?
*q Hidden Forbidden Dragonbein ~ Briona Gwydion the Dragonbein Range*
Jack: …
Piros VIII: …
Haruhi: …
Kyuzo: …Hmm? Looks like we have company.
*Hayate steps out of the shadows to confront Samurai 7*
Kyuzo: Well, well, well… Look who it is…
Hayate: …Let Hanabi go…
Kyuzo: First, the .hack//Arm…
Hayate: …
*Hayate takes out Elk’s Staff and tosses it at the ground near Kyuzo’s feet; Kyuzo picks up the staff and examines it*
Kyuzo: …Hmm…
*just then, Alkaid and Glaive LeGable enters*
Alkaid: Hayate!
Hayate: Huh? Alkaid!?
Coolidge: Oh! …Hayate, you gave him the staff!?
Hayate: I had to!! It was the only way to get Hanabi back!!
Izumi: …Hayate…
Kyuzo: Hey!! Just what are you trying to pull?!?
Neon: Huh?
Kyuzo: This isn’t Elk’s Staff!!! You trying to pull one over on us?!?
Hayate: What?!? But…that is Elk’s Staff!!! I swear!!!
Kyuzo: Thought you could con me, huh? Well, no one tries to dupe the Phantom Samurai!!! JACK!!!
*Jack pulls out his coma-inducing scythe*
Hayate: NO!!! PLEASE!!!
*Hanabi is released from her petrified state just as Jack slices through her with his scythe; Hanabi falls to the ground*
Hayate: NO!!!!!
Kyuzo: Hmph! That’s what happens when you mess with Samurai 7! Let’s go!
*the members of Samurai 7 gate out of the area; Hayate and the others run over to Hanabi’s body*
Hayate: …Hanabi… *falls to knees* …What’ve I done?
Alkaid: Is she…?
Izumi: …
Usa-chan: …Poor Hanabi…
Hayate: I’m sorry, Alkaid… I let you down…
Alkaid: …Don’t blame yourself, Hayate… I shouldn’t have put so much responsibility on your shoulders…
All: …
Hanabi’s Voice: …Uh… Hello!?
All: …Huh!?
Hanabi’s Voice: Is anyone gonna revive me or not?!?
Izumi: …R-Rip Maen!
*Izumi revives Hanabi and she stands up*
Hanabi: I swear!! You’re all so melodramatic!!
Hayate: Hanabi!! B-But I thought you were…!!! *BEEP, BEEP!* Hmm? A short mail? …From Jack Russell!?
Alkaid: What’s it say?
Hayate: It just says… “Gotcha!”
All: …
*suddenly, everyone falls over comically*
Hayate: DAMN YOU, KYUZO!!!!
*…Samurai 7 @home…*
All: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Kyuzo: That was pure genius!!!
Piros VIII: ‘Tis to laugh!!!
Jack: Thank you, thank you! You’re too kind!
Kyuzo: Two down, five to go!! Hahahaha!!
Haruhi: …
Kyuzo: C’mon, Haruhi! It’s okay to laugh once in a while!
Haruhi: …Yes, Master Kyuzo… *ahem*
*Haruhi suddenly starts giggling cutely…*
All: o.0
*…but then, stops abruptly*
Haruhi: …This is to your satisfaction?
All: …
