Virtual Saga

Script By: darkelementwars
Fantasy


Video Games have advanced to a point where they have full virtual reality capabilities. The first game to use this system launches a massive promotion with one hell of a hook: Last person standing wins a cash prize of 100 million dollars. Twenty thousand lucky contestants are chosen for this launch, and the game begins.

Enter Oscar. Having the unfortunate fate of his character being released into the game late through an error, Oscar has to play catch up if he wants his chance at the prize. But in a game in which everyone’s goal appears to be the same, who can you trust to help you? Oscar will have to fight his way through corrupt alliances of players, thieves, murderers, and nut-jobs if he wants to win.

Of course, things aren’t always what they seem, and Oscar might want to keep his head down if he doesn’t want to accidentally get involved in some of the darker secrets of the game.

Chapter 40: The Militia of Grandi
 
Oscar sweats nervously as Militia begin to surround him.
 

Militia Soldier: Hold it right there!

 

Militia Solider: Don’t you move!

 
Oscar: Melanie…help?
 
He looks up to where the eagle was, but it is gone now.
 
Oscar: Hey, where’d she go?!
 

One Militia soldier stands apart from the rest of the crowd. He wears a purple and red uniform and wears stylish sunglasses. He has crazy spiky blond hair and a wide smile.

 

Soldier: I heard the Spidersilks were in town yesterday, but here I thought I missed my chance to see any of them. Who would have thought one of them would pop up again so soon?

 

Oscar: Look, I know this looks bad but, uhm…

 

Soldier: I am going to be made lieutenant for this capture for sure!

 

Oscar assumes a fighting pose, glancing nervously around him at how surrounded he is.

 

Militia Soldier: Be careful, Conners, the Spidersilks are supposed to be tough.

 

Conners: Doesn’t look so tough to me. Look at him, shaking in his boots.

 

Oscar: Please, you wouldn’t be acting so tough if this was just an one-on-one fight! You’ve got me outnumbered!

 

Conners: Oh, is that so? Alright then, how about this?

 
He makes a grand gesture at the soldiers around him.
 

Conners: No one is to interfere with this fight. This will be between me and the Spidersilk here.

 
He looks back at Oscar with his wide smile.
 
Conners: Better?
 
Oscar smiles confidently.
 
Oscar: Much better. Now this fight should be fun.
 

Conners: Though, before we begin, I have to ask. I recognize you picture from those posters but I believe your poster lacked a name. So what name should I give to my superiors when I capture you?

 

Oscar: My name’s Oscar, remember it cause after I beat you into the ground I want you to tell your superiors they need to put that name everywhere!

 

The large group of animals makes their way through the city. The ground beneath them suddenly begins to glow.

 

Raccoon: Oh, no, that can’t be good.

 

A large wind blows upwards from the glow, causing their cloaks to fly into the air and their disguises to fail one by one. The raccoon become Iricryo, the hamster into Sarah, the dog into Black Fox, and the cat into Red Hunt.

 
Militia gather around them in formation.
 
Black Fox: A trap.
 

A Militia soldier in a black robe with the Militia symbol in the center, wearing a replica of Black Mage’s hat in Final Fantasy (it shades his face in the same fashion) stands in the center of this gathering.

 

Mage: Animals acting strangely, your hunch was absolutely right, lieutenant.

 
Lieutenant Parks walks through the center of the circle.
 
Parks: The Spidersilk! Well fantastic!
 
He pats the mage on the back.
 

Parks: Good job uncovering them, Po. You do excellent work around here! Don’t know what I’d do without you.

 
Po: Uhm, thank you, sir.
 

Red Hunt: What do we do now, Master Iricryo?

 

Black Fox: Yeah, Iricryo. No doubt you have some genius escape plan.

 
Iricryo sweats nervously, and thinks to himself.
 

Iricryo (thoughts): Maybe to get myself out of here. You guys may be out of luck.

 

Parks: Let me just start by saying you guys did a fantastic job of sneaking through the city. I mean, we were all on high alert after your appearance yesterday and you still made it this far. You guys really are something else!

 
Everyone in the group looks confused.
Iricryo: Uhm, what?
 

Parks: Now, I’m sorry for busting you guy’s chops, here, but I’m going to need you all to surrender now. If you could do that, that would be great.

 
The group looks at him confusedly.
 
Black Fox: Are you serious?
 

Sarah: This has got to be some kind of trick.

 

Parks: So, what do you say, Spidersilks?

 
Sarah’s facial expression twists with anger.
 

Sarah: Don’t you call me that!

 
Parks looks confused.
 

Parks: But that’s the name of your group, isn’t it? Spidersilks.

 
Sarah: I am not…
 

Parks: Well, according to my orders, you are Spidersilks. So sorry for busting your chops, but I’m just going to keep calling you Spidersilks, Spidersilks.

 
Fire begins to pick up around Sarah.
 

Iricryo: Calm down, Sarah. Rash action isn’t going to help us here.

 
Sarah: One more time. Do not call me that!
 

Parks: Sorry, Spidersilk. It’s your brand.

 
Fire engulfs Sarah.
 

Sarah: You’ll pay for that comment!

 
The parrot arrives at the front of a long, dark tunnel. It drops the turtle in front of it.
 

Parrot: See-we-arrived-safe-and-sound.

 
Turtle: Oh, thank god. I feel sick.
 

The group of players who tried to cook the turtle catches up to them, panting.

 
Player: There they are!
 

Player: That parrot must be some kind of rare find, as well. I’ve never seen one pal around with a turtle like this.

 

Player: Think it’s a tamable pet?

 

Player: Only one way to find out.

 

They approach the group and grab the parrot as it tries to fly away from them.

 

Player: Hey, stop fussing, sit still. Come on, I have a very high taming skill.

 

The cloak is torn slightly in the struggle, and Blue Bird is transformed back. The player lets her go in shock.

 
Player: Ah, what the hell!
 

Blue Bird: Oh-hi-guys-you-see-I-can-explain-this…

 
Player: This is weird!  I think we should get the Militia…
 

Rook transforms in an instant and punches the guy across the face. The other two turn in shock, but before they can react they are both hit hard. All three lie unconscious on the floor.

 

Blue Bird: Was-it-necessary-to-be-so-violent?

 

Rook: Can’t risk our cover being given up just yet. They’ll be fine; I just knocked them cold for a few hours.

 

Blue Bird: I-suppose-so. I-sure-hope-the-others-arrive-soon, we’re-not-safe-like-this.

 
Rook just nods, then leans back against the wall and waits.
 

At the gate of Grandi, Osmond arrives, skidding to a stop to try to break his momentum. He pants heavily and looks up, watching Timmy’s bird land next to him.

 

Osmond: I beat you here! I’m even faster than your bird!

 
Timmy dismounts his bird with a lazy yawn.
 
Timmy: Oh? I didn’t even notice you got ahead. I was taking a nap.
 

Osmond: Yeah, well I still beat you.

 
He pants heavily, forcing a grin as he pants.
 
Timmy laughs.
 

Timmy: Oh, yeah, Osmond, you’re definitely the winner.

 

His scouter begins to beep like crazy, many numbers and messages flash by.

 

Timmy: Well, no doubt about it. He’s definitely here.

 

Osmond: Ah, sir, the guy with the highest character level in the game.

 
Timmy: Yeah. Well, let’s get this over with.
 
They walk boldly through the gates of Grandi.

Aside from the numerous grammatical errors I saw popping up throughout the story, I would have to overall say it was worth my time to sit here for nearly 12 hours straight to read it XD I do not like the Militia for some reason, and I would love to punch Jack in the face… But yes. I enjoyed it so far. Keep it up~
