New Life Online 222 Missing People

"If you don't move back, I'll kill all of you," I warned them. I don't know their purpose to stop us but I can't let them...

*POOOOF!* What the?!

"We knew that you'll use this path to attack your opposing guild's weak spot and we already made a trap waiting for you," s.h.i.+v... you ugly sucker!

Ugh... I can't... I fell to the ground and the last thing I saw is both Sh.e.l.la and Akko were already on the ground...

-Ebonywood Mansion-

*Chara's POV*

Ugh... I woke up and I can feel the heat. I guess it's noon time already. I'm so hungry like crazy. I stood up and the aroma of the food attracted my sense of smell.

"Miss Chara, you finally woke up. You've been playing the game for almost a day now and you haven't eaten anything yet. Please, let me help you." One of our maids, who always helps me, said.

"Thank you. I guess you have already prepared the meal for me that I can already smell it. Where's Sis though?" I asked.

"She's... still playing the game and the battle has ended and... you lost the war." Wait, what? Well, I can tell that the outcome of the war is not really in our favor.

She explained to me what happened. The Dragoons lost their city and now it's being occupied by the Order of Lights. I still can't believe we lost. She told me that the last clash was between Dragoons and the Order of Light with Storm Seekers.

*RIIIING RIIIING* I heard the sound of the phone and it stopped after she picked it up.

"Ok, I will inform her." Then she ended the call.

"Miss Chara, Miss Petula is already awake." She helped me to go to the dining hall.

-Ebonywood Mansion, Dining Hall-

"Hey, you look so sad. Don't frown in front of the food, ok? Show me your smile. I love them." Petula tried to show her cheerful expression but I can tell that it's not ok as she sounds.

"I'm sorry, Sis. It's just that... we lost and because of us, Dragoons fell. But yeah, this is not the time to be sad. We will take it back." I tried to smile but it's so hard today.

"I don't think that's possible anymore. Dragoons decided to join the Order of Light's Alliance. They lost terribly and they are blaming Scy because he broke his promise." I don't understand...

"What promise? I died against Aurora and I have no idea what happened after that."

"Scy and the others, who are supposed to stop the spellcasters from the opposing guilds, didn't show up at the last clash. If they were there, there will be a different result. We are all waiting for them but up until now, there's still no news from them. I know Scy, he won't just let them die so maybe something has happened." Something should have happened.

"I know. He's not the kind of guy who would do such a thing. We need to find him but for now, let's have a satisfying meal. I've been so hungry." I suggested so we took our time and ate to our heart's content. I don't think they will start another war because of both sides taking a lot of damage.

-Other Side Guild-

After waiting for my resp.a.w.n time, I finally entered the game and yeah, I resp.a.w.ned right inside our guild.

I can feel the atmosphere here and it's not so good. We lost too much and... I guess they need us to regain our morale back.

I walked straight towards our guild hall and everyone is looking at me. I can tell that they are not happy with what happened and about the decisions we made.

As I enter our guild hall, the leaders are all present. I can tell that they also died from the last battle.

"Did someone farted that all of you are not in the mood to talk?" I joked around and smiled a bit but I can tell that they are all still not in a good mood.

"Cut that c.r.a.p, Chara! This is Jay's f*ckin fault! He let our guildmates die in the battle! d.a.m.n it! Now they are thinking of leaving this guild." Arvin... What's wrong with this guy?! But... I can't blame him for thinking this way.

"Hey! Don't say something like that to him! He's our guild leader!" I lost control of my emotion and exclaimed my frustration.

"Stop, Chara. It's my fault. I made the wrong decision. A leader was supposed to protect his guildmates and that should be our first priority but now... we are just waiting for those Order of Light guys to take this guild down because of my eagerness to fight." Jay... I didn't expect that he would be like this.

"Jay, we're with you. It's just that, our force is not enough. We lost today but it's not the time to lose hope." Raf said. They're good friends. I know that Jay can sort this out.

"If you look closely, there's no other way to save this guild but to surrender. There's no way we can win against them now. That Scythus guy disappeared when he is needed the most." Briam... not you too.

"I told you not to trust that guy. His guild members are safe but we all died with you. Maybe he hid because he's too afraid to lose levels and still stay as the second strongest. Second strongest, what a joke!" Arvin...

"Arvin, that's enough! Our fight is still not done yet. We have to do something or the next guild that would fall into the Order of Light's hands is our guild." At least Jaay still has the fighting spirit.

"You're kidding, right? Are you saying that you want to continue the fight? That's the worst idea! We don't have the cavalry of the Dragoons and not to mention they joined the Order of Light! The two guild leaders are still nowhere to be found and that only means that we're on our own now." Briam has a point.

"So what? Are you guys just want to let them capture our guild and make fun of us?! We are the Other Side Guild and as long as I can resp.a.w.n, I'm going to make sure that I kill hundreds of them before they kill me!" Jay... you're an idiot but you have the heart of a leader.

"d.a.m.n it... then have it your way. Just don't forget that I warned you." No matter what happened, Arvin is still on our side. They might not like the idea but I can tell that they want revenge.

"That's the Jay I know! I'll get back to work now. I hope we have enough time to make new toys." Raf said.

"I will try to make a better plan to ambush our attackers. They are still not familiar with our guild's terrain yet so I'm pretty sure we still have the upper hand." Briam suggested.

"I'll send spies and scouts around the area and villages of the City of Order of Light to get some intel. Let's make better decisions, this time, Jay." Arvin is a good guy sometimes but he likes being a jerk.

"And I... I will..."

"Banana Girl, I have a mission for you." Before I finish talking, Jay interrupted me.

"We talked about nicknames, Jay... What mission?"

"I've got the news that Scy, Akko, and Sh.e.l.la are still missing right now. We still have no idea what's going on but I'm feeling that something is not right and I want you to investigate. Can you do that?" This is too much for a mission for a single person...

"Wait. Are you sure that I should do this?" This is a troublesome mission. I was supposed to say that I would boost our morale by singing and dancing but I guess I have to stop joking around for now.

"Yes, I trust you. You may have lost level but you are still one of the strongest players I know and you are the fastest on foot around here." Stop with the flattery. I know you're just saying that so I would do your mission impossible.

"Then I guess I don't have a choice. I can't tell if I can do it but it's worth the try."

"Just do your best Chara. We can't win this war alone and we need their help. Without Scy and Sh.e.l.la, their guilds won't make a move. The reports show that the number of scouts of Order of Light has lessened after the war so you can move better this time. Scy and the others were last seen in the Forest near the Storm Seeker's Path so you can start there. Please be careful."

"You know I will. I will be leaving after I prepare." Then I let out a smile.

Risking my life again huh... It's not that bad. I better be prepared this time.

I didn't bring too much but enough weapons to use and some power stone. Last time, I had just one but now, I guess I can take out an army by myself. I hope I don't get in trouble, though.

So I started moving out and it's time to look for the missing people!
