NerveGear Comes To Graal

Chapter Seven

A/N: a republish, since last time I updated this.one before five and six xD

We're so dead, we're so dead..

Fluffs and Banana had waited until everyone was asleep before sneaking out. Apparently Sean wanted to meet up with them at the 'Chicken Place'. It wasnt too far from the Nightclub, just north of graal city in Onnet town. A twenty minute walk in traffic, but during the deathly still of the night, ten minutes tops.

"Banana.." Fluffs murmured as they quietly made their way past the Battle Arena. "I have a bad feeling about this.."

"You have a bad feeling about everything." Banana rolled her eyes, continuing on her way, Fluffs tagging behind.

It wasn't long before they were climbing down the steps in Onnet Town, and taking a left in front of the 'Divorce Building' as Fluffs called it, not bothering to learn its real name.

They entered the building on the left, jogged down a few hallways and entered the password into the door.

Enter password;

"C-H-I-C-K-E-N" Banana wrote, barely having to look.

Password accepted.

Sean was sitting on the bench, and jumped up eagerly when he saw Banana, confusion crossed his face when he noticed Fluffs. "Hey..why-"

"I trust Fluffs." Banana interrupted him. "She wont blab." Fluffs slowly nodded, not sure whom she should trust. Sean..was different now. He had lost his more shy demeanor, and was more straight forward now. It was unsettling, having a person you know change so much.

Seans features hardened in acceptance, and he gave the purple-haired girl a nod. Banana hesitated, then rushed forward and gave her long time friend a hug, which he returned. Fluffs backed away, closer to the door and losing her view of them and she moved behind some trees. This isn't right.. She heard the doorknob rattle, and her heart jumped into her throat. "Banana!" She whispered, jumping away from the door.

"Wha-" Banana turned halfway, just in time to see Dante barge in through the door. His face was set determinedly, and he didn't seem surprised to see any of them.

Fluffs opened her mouth, "Dante I-" He interrupted her with, "Fluffs, you're my friend and I understand that you were just being loyal to Banana." He turned her stone hard gaze over to the 'lovely couple' and growled, "We trusted you Banana."

Banana looked angry, not upset. "Liar." She whispered. "You never trusted me. I could see it. I was never part of your screwed up family, and maybe.. Maybe I never wanted to be."

Fluffs felt wildly lost. What had she missed? "Guys-" She started.

"Fluffs, go home." Dante interrupted, not looking away from Banana.

She closed her mouth, gulping down the stone lodged in her throat. Her hands trembling, she opened her menu, found Honoka, and entered his Guild House. She looked up to wave bye one last time to her cousin, but she was too late.

She sat a few feet from the gate for what seemed like centuries before she passed out.

~♥~

Fluffs woke up on one of the couches, grumpy the moment her eyes opened. Remembering last night's events, she sniffled, but her eyes were dry. There must've been a puddle where she sat last night, confused as frick. She sighed and dragged herself out of bed, er, the couch.

On the other three couches sat Jordan, Splashy, Channel, and Potato. Then Drago, Skittlez, Gromit, Dalt and Honoka. The third held another sleeping figure, probably Kay. Fluffs noticed Dante wasn't around, and she glowered. Mixed emotions, mixed emotions..

As if on cue, Dante walked in. It seemed as if he was expected, everyone looked up, waiting for him to speak.

"Banana is officially kicked from our Guild's alliance." He said in a monotone.

Jordan looked outraged. "What!?" She stood up to her full height, holding Frank at her side. "You kicked her!?"

Dantes brows furrowed. "Yes, I did. She violated the rules by going and meeting up with Sean, a rouge."

Fluffs raised her voice, "I did too! I went with her! What makes her so different from me?!"

Dante seemed to hold himself together. "You know why, Fluffs."

Jordans voice went cold as steel. "If she goes, I go too."

Dante looked stunned, and opened his mouth, silent for a moment. Then, "Fine."

That's the end of that relationship.

~Peanuts POV~

It's so cold. And dark. And..empty.

Peanut held Sissy at her side, every few minutes glitching, the both of them. They didn't talk, there was nothing to talk about, and the Admins were probably watching them. In the left corner of Peanut's vision was the word Dungeon.

But their minds weren't empty. My sister wants me dead, and I'm gonna die. Were the words replaying in Peanuts head. She didn't want to die. She had so much to live for, so many things to do..

Sissy, on the other hand, was trying to figure out a way to escape. Next time someone comes to give us food, Peanut grabs their hands, bangs their heads against the bars and I get out through the food slot. I'll find some keys and- Her thoughts were interrupted.

They were transported, in a white flash, into a circular room. The floor was hard oak, covered by a reddish-brown carpeting with golden embroidery at the edges. The walls themselves were a dark brown wood boards. The ceiling was high up, about thirty feet, and windows were placed at regular intervals at fifteen feet, bringing sunlight into the room. Her location was.. It said Unknown in her top left vision.

Peanut was in the center of the huge room. Suddenly, Admins were transported into the room also, surrounding her. She whimpered, and held Sissy tighter by her side.

"Calm down, Player." Murmured an admin with brick-colored hair. Brick?

"There's no need to worry.." Said a female. L-Leah?

Peanut looked around and realized she recognized some of the Admins who had hosted quizzes and games before. "W-why am I here...?" She asked quietly.

"Because you're a glitch." Said a hooded figure she hadn't noticed before. ((*wink wink* who remembers this guy? ;3))

Everyone started moving then, someone grabbed her left arm, and another her right, and at the same time someone grabbed Sissy to which she objected with, "No! Give her back, give her her back! You can't take her!" She screamed.

The hooded figure dropped a biting Sissy into a rabbit cage, shutting the door firmly with... Magic? Peanut thought wildly.

Someone put a needle into her arm, and seconds later, everything went black.
