The Bridged Worlds was an astounding success. It required no money to play, only download. It encompassed both fantasy and science fiction worlds, allowing the user to use his or her preference, and yet be with their friends who liked the other genre. They had no class that was specific to either one, but rather all had equivalent ranks and classes. It was the perfect MMO for both fantasy and sci-fi geeks. But not for long. About two years after its development, during an in-game update, monsters of highly unusual difficulty began springing up. Then...the real trouble began. Impossible-to-beat monsters would randomly appear before players, mostly females, beat them senseless as their attacks do no damage, and then assimilate themselves into the player's Avatar. At this point a virus would have infected the avatar and began to replicate itself infinitely, causing an outward appearance of fattening. It was not a problem originally, the players just couldn't use that character anymore. But the growth of the characters didn't stop there. They began getting beyond immense in size, accumulating so much data from the virus that they appeared to weigh tons in weight. The avatars grew out of control, literally, filling up the channels and servers before causing massive crashes that deleted all user accounts on that server. Another problem cropped up not that long after this one. The human counterparts also began fattening, as their avatars filled the computer screens and caused a black screen. They took on the appearance of their characters, and continued the torment from before. Now, the game company who created The Bridged Worlds has tired of this virus crashing their systems and stopping new players from joining. As a result, they've enlisted the help of a group of overly powerful players and masterful hackers to combat the virus. They are known as the Calamity Busters. - - - - - - - - - - "Save it." Garum Mastek ripped open a graver, an undead-type enemy that had been appearing recently. The grim-reaper like creature howled in agony then fell to one side before remaining motionless. The Champion sheathed his red blade, taking the spoils before continuing on. A pudgy Knight followed close behind, a little disturbed by the disgusting surroundings. "Aw, c'mon, Garum! We can't just continue looking for this thing! It's been six weeks since it was last spotted, and I dont think it'll come any time soon!" Magnega Lyra complained, her pudgy face drenched in sweat. They had been roaming the Plagued Ramparts for several days, which was equivalent to several in-game weeks. The dead look of the place, along with the rotting corpses and evil demons running amok, was really getting on her nerves. At every sound she would jump, thinking it was another monster she wouldn't be able to kill. "I thought we weren't going to stay here more than a few days!" He sighed. Ever since he had saved her Avatar and her computer on a grander scale, the plumping Knight had been following him around. It was irritating having her around, a measly level 40, while he, on a scale he was well over 150, preventing him from finding the virus-borne monsters and ripping them to shreds before any more servers crashed beneath the bulk of fattening Avatars. He had seen a female mage, age 15 in the game, fattened to the point of complete immobility and then some, a mountain of a girl dressed in elastic garments. He had of course, done the best he could to destroy the virus in her but only managed to get her to about 600 due to all the viral data. Even then she was grateful, as she could at least move around. But it was annoying when EVERY person asked him to rid them of a small bit of belly fat that had grown on them. The Buster program he was given was only meant for extreme cases. "Change of plans. I'm finding this "Infinite Hell" beast and ridding this world of it once and for all." She sighed. He truly WAS serious about getting rid of the virus...although he hadn't told her WHY. He was a mysterious one, she mused, but was a valuable bodyguard... |

Luna looked down upon her "targets" with a almost bored expression. As only a level 83, she had no chance against Garum, although she had gotten close once...only to be defeated in one strong blow. Since then, she had routinely tried to kill him, but, at a record of 0-28, she was starting to lose hope in defeating him. The other one, however, was only around level 40..an easy win for her. However, she had a sudden change of heart..what if Garum, angry at the one he traveled with being killed, attacked her? That would end...badly for her. Very badly. Slipping silently from her hiding spot, she moved into position, using her unique ability to literally hide in a shadow. When Garum passed her, she silently moved out, and put one of her one of her Onyx Iron daggers to his neck. "Hey, Garuman! long time no see, huh?" She said rather cheerfully, considering the circumstances. Ever since she had realize where Garum's appearance came from, she had taken to calling him that name. She figured she had an advantage this time, at least..she had only gotten this ability recently, and Luna was almost certain it would be new to him. |

"Oh man, how long are they gonna stay out here" groaned Volpe he had been tracking some high level players for some time now and was beginning to tire of it. "These guys must be after something big considering how far they have come". Volpe had seen some really high level players come through a hunting ground he frequented, one look at their gear had roused his curiosity and he decided to follow them. He stayed close enough so that he wouldn't run into any monsters but far enough so these super players wouldn't see him. "If I can jump in and get just one hit on whatever they are out here for, I will get a share of the rewards. I will probably get like 30 level ups, I'll never get called a noob ever again" he proclaimed. Still walking at a steady pace past yet another dead monster he stopped to look at the tracks, he saw a new set of foot prints "that doesn't look like the chunky knight chicks prints, maybe some one else got the same idea as me?" and just as Volpe was getting ready to rant about how despicable it is for some one else to do what he thought of first, he noticed the horrid monster that was sitting behind him. Volpe turns to face the creature and its almost comical appearance, its big round body its tiny legs and dangling over sized arms, and its tiny little head. All this and its silly pink skin almost made Volpe laugh despit it being 3 times his size. "Okay lets have a look at your stats big fella" he pulled put a pair of glasses that let him see the level and skills of monsters, the numbers came up and revealed that this massive pink blob thing was comparable to a level 60 human player. "Okay lets crunch the numbers, I'm level 20 so if I carry the 4 and account for variable damage....." Volpe turned around and yelled "SPARK FOOT" he then took off at the blinding speed of true coward with the pink behemoth not too far behind. |

"Ohhh look at the pretty boy run" Liara laughed as a lvl 20 fled from one of the flesh bomb creatures. Suprisingly the creature was from the original game, however it's ability to explode in a data cascade was new, hence her terminology flesh bomb. She licked her fingers of the barbecue sauce from her last meal, summoned her motor bike, now 4 seconds later she rode it off the pile of wreakage and after the pink blob. Closing quickyl in the creature she primed one of her own data bombs, reving the bike harder. Overtaking the creature she put the bike into a sideways brake grind, stopping severl meters infront of the running lvl 20. Throwing the bomb from her bike in an under arm-spin throw the bomb inbeded in the creatures belly. At first it did nothing, the creature laughed untill it realised it was inflating, a few seconds later it exploded, the cascade of Blum glittering data streaming into Liara, she groaned quietly in pleasure as the data filled her up, she relished the full feeling for a bit before expelling the data into her motorbike's power pack, to give it an extra boost on long journeys. Taking a quick swig from her water skin, she studied the human, unfurling and stretching her wings before pulling her tech-girl bown with green glass goggles up to her forehead. "So what's a person of your....lack of abilities doing here, the creatures are pretty hard, you must feel a little bogged down," as she talked she swaggered over to the human, each of her hips taking it in turn to stretch the leather of her leggings. |

Volpe was stupefied at the potency of the bomb and while at the same time relieved that his butt had been saved, But he then realised he had just indirectly been called a noob. "Hey I could have beat that pink pile of turd, and I was just about to until you interrupted me....I was just making a tactical retreat was all". He tried his best to look tough as he thought to himself "Yeah nice save V-man, now the hot blue chick won't think your a loser" |

"You're still too slow." Garum's swords had already been drawn, and rested tightly against the assassin's stomach. If she had inched closer, she would've been dead. Magnega had frozen in place, astonished by her speed. "Anyways, if you were that desperate for attention, you should've dropped on the ground and begged for people to pay attention to you." Huffing a little, Garum slipped his sword back into the sheath before turning once again to the disgusting killing fields. "By the way, I thought I told you I hated that nickname." Magnega suddenly snapped out of it, bouncing alongside him. "You mean Garuma-mmph!" He clapped a hand to her mouth. She nodded, knowing that she shouldn't have tempted it. Picking up the lance she dropped, she hauled it over her shoulder before walking solemnly behind Garum. It was so odd...she was gaining experience like crazy, but Garum was the only one breaking a sweat. Every slash took the undead enemies down in one shot. The rumors were true; he WAS a God-Player. If she wasnt with an actual God-Player, she'd be long dead and gone from the Calamity Busters' ranks. |

Remu stumbled out of a pile of stone and corpses, constantly looking behind herself, as if running from...something. ''I didn't sign up for thiiiis!'' She yelled, running head long into something large and metal. The impact against one armored knight, causing her to land heavily on her plush behind. ''Owie! Watch where your ru- Oh wait...that was me.'' Remu said, rubbing her forehead. She slowly looked up at the heavy knight, slowly her face turned bright red from embrassment. ''Im..im sorry, i was running...from some...things...they...they defeated my..group'' She said quickly, still looking rather nervous. |

Luna sighed. "I guess it's 0 out of 29 now..." she mumbled as she sheathed her daggers. "Oh well...I didn't expect much, anyway. " She said as she followed Garum. "Hope you don't mind me tagging along...after all, I'm a Calamity Buster now, too. Y'know, so if you get killed I can take those swords of yours." However, if Garum did die like that, she wouldn't take the swords anyway...she had long since resolved to defeat him herself and take the two swords from him. Taking them from Garum after someone else killed him would feel like cheating. |

In exchange for all the heath packs he had the hot winged chick promised never to tell any one of Volpe's cowardice and ineptitude. "Alright I finally caught up to those high levels" Volpe noticed that there was now twice as many people as he thought he was tracking. Without a second to spare he jumped behind a big pile rocks so not to be noticed "Awww crud buckets, they all look so tough, how the hell am I supposed to get in on the fight now" Volpe kept low and tried not to make any unnecessary noise. All was going according to plan until the rubble shifted and a very large and jagged stone landed on his toe. "AAAAWWWWWWW *explitive*!!!!!!!!!" |

"oh I'm sure you did have a plan, probably a very good one, but I needed the data anyway , if I can just get it right I might be able to create the viral cure, long shot though, and anyway you still haven't said why you were here". She began to lean uncfortably close to the human, placing a single finger on his chest, leaning forwards on her tip toes, giving him a Birdseye view of her cleavage. "If you answer me I'll make you some reeeeealy nice gear, or give you a few addons, then nobody will call you weak again, the worlds most powerful lvl 20, how great would that be?! |

Garum nodded without looking back as Luna continued to follow he and his companion across the rotting plains. His boots made soft squish squish sounds in the ground, it having been soaked in decomposing guts and coagulating blood. THe field was empty...for now. But he couldn't help feeling as if something were wrong. At that point, he felt the girl collide with him. "Hmph! What in the name of-?" Drawing his blades, he had the tip pointed at a younger avatar. Looking at her with an air of disdain, Garum sheathed his blades and continued to walk forward. "Do as you wish. Be warned...this area is full of deadly monsters to most players." Magnega suddenly chided in, thinking that this was going to help, "Yeah! I've almost gotten roasted here! it's all thanks to this big guy that I was able to even stay alive!" She punched Garum in the shoulder, not noticing how a vein popped up on the side of his neck. But before she could continue to badger the newcomer, a piercing shriek was heard... "AAAAWWWWWWW *explitive*!!!!!!!!!" Withdrawing his swords once more, Garum completely ripped open the ground in front of them, exposing a man holding a sore toe. His fury, pent up from all the distractions and irritations, flared up at the man, "Who are you, and what are you doing intruding in my territory?!" |

In a flash, Luna had moved behind the man, and had both of her daggers at his neck. "Aw...only a level twenty? How lame..you may not even be worth takin' out...But a kill's a kill, I guess...Hey, Garuman? Got any problems with that?" She said with a smirk. |

Remu hefted herself back up, dusting off her now mud-caked Medi armor. ''Well, its not my faul- huh. that sounded painful?'' She said, her ears perking up over the sound off pained yelling. Striding over to where the knight now stood, was for sure, a newbie. Placing a hand infront of the angered knight, she shook her head dismissively. ''He's hurt, so this is my...task'' Remu said, an eager glare in her eyes. ''So, let me do what my class is surposed to, and give him some room.....please, hun'' She said in an almost sugary sweet voice. |

With a heavy sigh, Luna stepped back, although she kept her daggers ready for combat, in case it came down to that. "Whatever...but if either of you try anythin' I'll kill you. Got it?" Luna said, watching the two warily. |

Amelia Redfang smiled lightly as the final arrow thunked itself into the forehead of a zombie. While each shot was not very effective, when she could hit a monster from halfway across the region, quantity could beat out quality. After all, she had a few minute before they could even reach her. She shook her head, hopping out of the tree and beginning to trek towards the corpse of her fallen enemy. This was, of course, the only disadvantage of being an archer. The long distances required to get her prey. However, the fact that she could sit on her plush rear while fighting foes was a major plush side, and probably the main reason that most of those healing potions had gone straight to her hips. Most people mistook her for someone who was infected, but, she was just lazily. Finally reaching the body, out of breath and red in the face, she grabbed what little cash the undead had on it and sighed, shouting, "That WASN'T *pant* worth it *gasp*." |

Remu placed her right hand on the newbies' foot, a gentle red coloured beam touching it for a few moments before dissapating. She held the toe between two of her fingers, moving it around slowly. ''Does this hurt anymore, hun?'' She said, giving the newbie a sweet smile. ''Or do you need a cuddle aswell?'' |

"...I don't have time for this!" Sheathing his swords and walking away, Garum contemplated on the absurdity of the situation. Of course he was going to refuse the fool into his party! A bastard like him, sneaking around and only a level 23, had no right to be in the area. Especially in HIS killing grounds... Magnega suddenly felt her sense of security leave her. Looking around, she noticed that Garum was no longer with them, and was stalking away from the group at a rapid pace, his stature giving him an air of infuriation. Her paranoia catching up with her, she quickly jogged to his side, already out of breath due to her pudge. "Haaa....haaa..Master Garum! Where are you going?!" "I am sick of people entering this area. They can all rot in hell for all I give a damn about. I'm trying to take down the scythe-wielding God-Beast supposedly here, and they're irritating me by putting me off my search!" Stepping up his already quick pace, Magnega suddenly found herself running even more. And she hated running. |

"Idiots..." Luna mumbled under her breath before turning the the Noob and the medic, she said "Well...since Garuman will probably try to kill any of us if we try to get anywhere near him right now...wanna team up? Oh, but first...gotta make you suck less, Noobie." Going into her inventory, she took out several powerful items and gave them to Volpe. "Oh, and I expect you to pay me back for those at some point...and those aren't cheap." she said with a grin. |

Volpe was overwhelmed at how quickly things have spun around. Since almost being killed had been healed and now held a pile of top notch gear. "I......urrrm, well okay I guess hanging with you guys won't be so bad." He found a place for all his new toys and turned toward Remu. "Thanks a bunch I owe ya one sweet cheeks, and it seems I have yet to introduce myself, I am Volpe, and I am delighted to make your acquaintances" meanwhile he thought "keep pouring on the sugar V-man your doin' great" |

Luna grinned. "My name's Luna. I'm a level 83, so this shouldn't be too hard for me..just try not to get in my way. Oh, and if you call me 'sweet cheeks' again, I will kill you in the most violent and painful manner I can think of. Got it?" she said, still grinning. |

Volpe's internal monologue continued "Nice goin V-man you were shot down...again". The smile was gone from his face once more, Luna seemed nice enough but at the same time scared Volpe right to the core. "I will be sure to make a note of that Luna, and it wont happen again" he struggled to say |

Ooc: sorry about my last post, didn't see foxx's, though would you mind asking when deciding what my character does? It wasn't thar Liara needed the health packs, it's just she had so many factions at war with her killing the nice human would just mean another one. Spreading out her wings to their full 1 meter escheat wing span, took a small run up before hoisting herself into the air. The view from the sky wasn't much prettier, she prefered the jungles of Kron, where she had done lvl 40 to 55. She could see several groups from up here, and a lone archer who had just killed a zombie of debatable power. She'd hope none of them would mistake her for an npc creature, especially the girl with the bow. A pidgeon was flapping lazily below her, folding her wings to her body she streaked down towards it, grabbing and breaking it's neck with her foot talons, she continued diving, untill 30 feet above the ground she spread her wings to float down feet first to the ground, landing 5 meters or so from the group of 3 people. The next part wasn't so graceful. In typical harpy fashion she tore into the bird with her razor-like teeth. Blood and bodily fluids sprayed everywhere, by the time she stood from her hunched position her moth was surrounded by dripping blood, her teeth were red and she had blood spots on her clothing, Licking around her mouth she turned, noticing the people for the first time. "ohh I'm sorry you *burp* had to see that, I hear it's a major turn off for some races," she said chirpily, her innocent smile contrast to her dripping fangs. She began to busy herself by licking the feathers on her wings which had got blood on them, untill they were clean and the feathers not stuck together by the thick sticky liquid, she wouldn't be able to fly |

Luna sighed, noticing the newcomer. "Great...another person? Oh well, it looks like you can fight, at least. Unless..." In a flash, Luna was was gone, having fallen into her own shadow and vanished. A moment later she popped up behind Liara, and, with the stealth the Assassin class was know for, sneaked up to Liara and put her daggers to the Harpy's neck. "Y'know, I'd be careful about you say right now..don't want my daggers to slip, right? So, tell me...are you an enemy?" Despite this, she didn't seem to really be taking Liara seriously, something Liara could use to her her advantage. Edited by NemesisZeru, Sep 4 2009, 07:30 PM.

Remu's face turned bright red at Volpe, trying to hide it with her llong red hair. She quickly moves his toe around to check if it was still in pain, though the medi-link usualy treats anything...almost. ''I...i well, it was nothing, just what i do'' She said with a nervous tone to her voice, slowly getting back onto her feet and facing the new confrontation. ''However, i don't like fighting...specialy in a newly formed group, and we are going to need everyone to defeat what...got my old group, thats including the grumpy fellow that just..walked..off'' Remu slowly trailed off, releasing the direction Said knight was walking. ''Oh no...he'll see what happened'' |
