Sword Star Online

Chapter 7: Crash and Burn

"Nona, you've never visited any of the planets, except Parum, haven't you?" Ezra sighed, watching Nona's excited face. The Newman blushed shaking her head.

"No, not even in the beta. We were given tours of the planets from the ships. My guess is that the creators were still working on the layouts of the land."

"NPC's say this place is full of Newmen race, so it's kinda like going home."Ezra laughed.

Home. That was something that had not been on her mind as of late. She wondered what her parents were doing. Did they even care she was trapped in a death game? Did they leave her body in her room? Are they even the slightest bit worried about her? Nona nodded her head slowly.

"Yeah, like going home, I guess."

Ezra watched Nona for a moment, as she got quiet. She must've hit a deep part inside of her. "I'm guessing home wasn't the best place to be, huh?"

Nona shrugged. "It's not that its a bad place, it's... Just complicated. Not much the difference of what's going on between those Newmens that gave up because they thought Force class Newmen are weak."

Ezra nodded, getting the gist of what she meant. She then sighed and smiled. "Well here in Neudaiz, the Newman's are very well respected, so I'm sure that you won't be disrespected."

Nona smiled. "There will be no need. I'm already well respected enough."

The ship landed on Neudaiz, which gave off the feeling of it always having spring like weather. It was decorated like ancient day Japan, with Cherry Blossom trees decorating the streets and sky. A mountain to the east looked majestic, with water spirally moving up the mountain instead of down, and to the west, Parum was clearly visible. They walked to the Guardian's Base, just in time for the meeting. Egil nodded to them upon entry and stood up from his seat.

"I'm glad everyone is in attendance, today. We are in Neudaiz, a place far different from Parum. Native bosses here are what they call Tengu, and they drop a pretty common B-Class Tengu Bow. There are also a few SEED infection missions, and NPC's speak of the creature known as the Omougmog terrorizing the land. Anyone who wishes to go start a buff party for a while, come with me."

Some Forces nodded.

"Everyone else should check the Yomei shop located on the opposite end of Neudaiz. They specialize in S-Class Wands, Staves, Daggers and Bows." Egil said upon leaving.

"A Force's wonderland." a Hunter male commented jokingly.

Nona glared at him. "Keep your stupid comments to yourself."

"Shut up and stay in your place woman." he retorted.

Hitoshi got up slamming his hands on the table. "Why don't you shut the hell up, you stuck up prick!" he yelled. "If it weren't for these Force, your sorry ass might be data shards right now, head blown to smithereens, dead, deleted. So I would think you should apologize to these Force's, and stop acting like you're better than Newmen!"

Nona grabbed Hitoshi's hand and yanked him in his seat. "Hitoshi, just hush."

"But-!"

"Hitoshi!" Nona scolded shooting daggers at him.

The mag grumbled, something along the lines of idiots, and stupidity. The man just smirked.

"That's right, listen to your partner. In fact, why don't you kill yourselves, you aren't needed here, or in the real life since-"

"Shut your trap hole before I kill you, arrogant bastard!"Ezra yelled, finally getting ticked off. "Do you honestly think you're that much better than a Newmen, and if so, then why the hell are you even a part of the Xenia Knights?! A friggin Newmen is running the Xenia Knights! Not you, you cowardly, fucked up laughingstock of a Human."

The whole room got quiet, in which Nona took a long sigh. She got up and placed her hand on the table, then slowly, a laugh built up in her. Everyone was quite taken aback by her actions, but the snarky human recovered.

"Oh, so you think it's funny we're letting Egil, run the Xenia Knights? In actuality, we're waiting for the day he dies so I can-"

"Oh my, what kind of idiot are you?!?" She yelled walking to him. "We fight like you do, have feelings, same goal, same striving purpose, and you're worried about the amount of power you have in a friggin MMO? You can't be a God in this game, no one will worship the ground you walk on, you aren't better than no other person in this room right now, especially my team." She smiled at him, brows furrowed in anger. " Lucifer will crawl out of the firy pits of hell, on the day you can beat a level 70, with your level 50 stats, ass wipe."

She turned around and walked out, her team followed. Hitoshi stopped at the door and glared.

"Make any moves towards my master, and I won't hesitate to decapitate you." he threatened walking out. He met the girls outside, Nona holding her head and sighing in frustration.

"Ah, damn't that went kinda bad."

"Kinda bad? Nona, you called that man an ass wipe, and called out his level." Ezra shouted grabbing her hand. "That was epic! You should have seen the look on your face! You were all demonic, and creepy, and I'll bet he's terrified of you."

Amos sighed. "That confrontation could have been handled differently, but there was indeed no reason why that human should disrespect someone like that who is of the same species as he in the real world."

"I'll kill him if he hurts you." Hitoshi muttered. "Shoulda done it when I had the chance."

Nona groaned. "Guys, don't let things like that get to you. It's over, we have floors to beat, and can't let him be prioritized over that." Nona looked at her menu, going over her class stats. "If this Tengu bow is B-Classed, then it would be the perfect weapon for me. We can start adding new strategist fighting methods to fighting bosses."

"Which mission is that?" Ezra said.

"Mizuraki Devastation" Nona said guiding the team to the Flyer Base.
