Red Flash [Private]

Light was running with all speed towards the monster that the two players told him about. He knew that the monster must be some type of glitch or something, since this was such a low level area. As he reached the fork in the road, he figured it was time to try out his new skill.

"Refraction!!"

As he yelled out, the sword in his hand began to crackle and creak before it finally snapped into two pieces, which glowed white hot and began to change shape. Light reached out his hands and grabbed at the light. As soon as he touched the glowing objects, they became two short swords, all white in color, even the blade. Once the blades were fully formed, Light noticed that he was beginning to run faster and faster.

Before he could fully handle his new speed, he finally came across the monster who was already fighting someone he vaguely recognized from the Front Lines. With the massive sword, and the blood red hair, it couldn't be anyone other than Dana. Light wondered at first if he should help her out, but once he got close enough to see all her wounds, he ran with an even higher burst of speed, and began charging up his swords for a full frontal assault.

"WHITE STRIKE!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

With the added speed, Light turned into a blur as he passed Dana, hit the creature's chest, and stayed there for a second before he finally blew through the monster's chest, and came out the other side. Light landed on one knee with both his swords out in front of him an a X shape, as the monster stood there for a second longer before finally blowing up into the tiny crystals. Light stood, spun his swords around, then merged them back together as he brought them both together in front of him.

As Light sheathed his now completed longsword, he walked over to Dana as he brought up his inventory, took out a potion, and proceeded to hand it to her with a kind smile on his face.

"Here you go Miss Dana. I can't believe you managed to take that much of the monster's health down by yourself, it was very strong. I myself would have thought twice about attempting such a thing. Are you ok now?"

A lock of blood-red hair was blown out of a unreadable face with a light blow. A gauntleted hand reached up and tucked that lock of hair behind an ear. Red-like eyes looked up, right hand coming up to shield the light from blinding her. "Another boring day...." Sighing, she dropped her hand and started down the road. For the past month, she had been just going from town to town, hitting up monsters that weren't worth her time. What she really wanted was something to break the monotony.

Coming to a fork in the road, Dana took her sword from her back and collapsed with a sigh to sit down under the large oak. Laying the massive blade across her lap, she closed her eyes and leaned her head back against the truck with a faint sigh. "I just wish something would happen.... Any.... thing...." And with that, she fell asleep.

The sun had went down when she suddenly jerked awake. She had no idea why, but a suspicious feeling ran down her spine. Jerking to her feet, she slowly looked around, eyes narrowed. She had her head turned to the right, and didn't see the monster pulling its own weapon back to strike her.

She saw its shadow as the sun shifted overhead. Having no time to dodge out of the way, she activate a blocking skill, bring her sword up just in time to catch the blade. The force of the monster's strike sent her flying, and she fell rather painfully on her side. "What the hell is this thing doing here?" This monster was at least three levels above the highest monster normally found, so this was not normal.

She saw its eyes flash, and she turned to see two players charging it. Are they stupid?! Her sword shining with a dull green light, she dashed forward. The monster went to charge up its own attack, and she barely got there in time. Even with her added speed, its blade managed to contact with her, knocking about five thousand HP off of her, which left her with around 15,000. "Get going!" She yelled at the two that were staring in shock. "Warn anyone you see on the way back to town!"

She kept the monster's attention on her to give the two enough time to run. Over the next twenty minutes, she managed to knock the monster down three-fourths of its health, and she was down to at least five thousand. It dawned on her that she might end up dying, but if she could at least destroy this abnormality, it would keep from taking anymore lives. A determined look settled onto her features, as she made the decision to put everything she had into killing the creature.
