| Hackers?! |
| On the last episode, we met our second main character, Hotaru, a cute-looking girl with a severe attitude. After drop-kicking two random nerds, she attracted the attention of Mods, but ran before they could IP Ban her. Not exactly picking a destination, she went to an Abandoned Forum�Which wasn�t really abandoned. Inside, she found Jhonka as a character on GameTalk�Even though he�s gone comatose in real life. What the freak is going on?! -------------------------------------------------- Our camera focuses in on JHONKA, having just teleported away from HOTARU and her ABUSE. He finds himself in the POINTLESS FORUM, as loud and annoying as ever. WRYNECK SUMMONER: I still think the Mods here are waaaaaaayyyyy too strict! ZESTFULLY CLEAN: Yeah, I know�I mean, take TannerDaddy Jay for example. He banned four people in the last two minutes! WRYNECK SUMMONER and ZESTFULLY CLEAN hear something behind them. They quickly turn around to find�C�mon, just guess. TANNERDADDY JAY: No talking behind my back! He quickly unsheathes his MODERATOR SWORD and slashes them both, causing forced disconnections and IP Bans. TANNERDADDY JAY: [Appropriating his weapon] All in a day�s work. JHONKA: ...At least THAT�S still the same� JHONKA walks around the FORUM, dragging his SILVER STAFF on the ground, listening in on VARIOUS conversations, trying to figure out what�s going on. YUCKEY SPASMS: Yeah, there�ve been reports of a female character escaping from the Mod Battalions lately. NATSUME IS SWT: I�ve heard she�s cute too! :) AZN DEVIL DRG0N: She sounds like a regular n00b to me. She might as well go to GTHELP or something. JHONKA: GTHELP�I should go there... JHONKA Teleports to the GTHELP Forum, which is NEARLY ABANDONED. Only three characters are there, and two of them are Moderators. MOD �1010100001�: Yes, we should be able to stop those attacks soon enough. They seem to be running in and out of Complaints on a regular basis. JHONKA: (Thinking) Wow, not much has changed. Did I just fall asleep for a few seconds while the world changed? JHONKA walks toward the Moderators who are still assisting the one NEWBIE when a SPONTANEOUS FLASH OF LIGHT occurs in front of him. Guess who pops out� JHONKA: HOTARU? HOTARU: Hey�It�s you again! JHONKA: (Thinking) Eep! HOTARU throws a JAB at JHONKA, but he quickly sidesteps and shoots a look towards the MODERATORS. MOD �JUSTUS KEEPER�: HEY! That�s HOTARU, the angry girl of this story! HOTARU: Wow, I�m that infamous already. The two MODS pull out RAY GUNS to BLAST DOWN HOTARU for her CRIMES. JHONKA: Would you stop narrating us?! BUT YOU�D LIKE ME TO DO THAT! MWAHAHA! HOTARU: Come on! We gotta go sometime NOW! You know, before we get killed! JHONKA: But where? HOTARU: I don�t know! If you really need to know�Game Development! The two TELEPORT away before getting hit with CHARACTER DELETION RAYS. MOD �1010100001�: It appears she has an ally� MOD �JUSTUS KEEPER�: Yes, and that boy looked much different than any other character I�ve seen�What�s with that staff? MOD �1010100001�: Never mind that. Let�s contact the Game Development Forum and have them ready for capture. MOD �JUSTUS KEEPER�: Right. -------------------------------------------------- At the GAME DEVELOPMENT FORUM� Due to FREQUENT LAGGING of the SYSTEM, a small MOD BATTALION has already formed, prepared with MODERATOR SWORDS and KNIVES raised. MOD �TEMPURA FOR BRAINS�: So we�re just going to ban them quickly and that�s it? MOD �DAISUKI DAISUKE�: Nah, we�ve came prepared. The second they get here, we�ll set up a barrier in the forum. Once that barrier is in place, no one can enter or exit. MOD �JUK ZOT�: No wonder why we had to evacuate everyone else� HOTARU and JHONKA Teleport into the forum and fall into the CONVENIENTLY OBVIOUS MODERATOR TRAP. HOTARU: Barriers? What kind of stupid person came up with using barriers?! JHONKA: Wow, you have a really short temper� HOTARU: Well why don�t you just shut up! JHONKA: Me �Shut up�? You talk much more than I do� HOTARU: But you�re mostly the reason why we�re trapped in this! You just HAD to come with me because you�re too freakin� scared to go alone through an online site! BAH! MODERATORS: �ATTACK!!! HOTARU and JHONKA: Uh oh. The MODERATORS charge in recklessly, which of course is STUPID, BUT EFFECTIVE. Oh, and MUCH EASIER TO DESCRIBE. HOTARU: This is your fault! Get us out of here! JHONKA: [Sigh] Looks like it�s all over� Of course they can�t JUST DIE right there and then. That�s why as soon as the MODERATORS get in a 10-foot radius of the two, they run into a VIRTUAL SHIELD. HOTARU and JHONKA: Whoa! MOD �SID FRENCHMAN�: A shield? But�how?! VOICE: Guess. A CHARACTER Teleports in from the back of the room. This is a tall female character, dressed in all black and carrying a SHINY white staff, just like Jhonka�s. This character is named Polly Ester. Seconds after, at least twenty other people of the same variety Teleport inside the room. These, as you may have guessed, are the SPAMMERS, turned into HACKERS. POLLY ESTER: Men, prepare an overflow in this room to release the barrier, then take those two to The Hideaway. HACKING GOONS: Yes, Ma�am! The HACKING GOONS point their staffs (Staves?) toward the ceiling, shooting out a PURPLE MIST across the room. As soon as a single CYBER MOLECULE touches a MOD, that MOD is forcefully disconnected from the SERVER. JHONKA: I�think we�re worse off than before. HOTARU: And I still blame YOU for this! POLLY ESTER: Hm� POLLY ESTER appears instantly in front of JHONKA and HOTARU, since she�s that awesome. POLLY ESTER: You two have a strong disregard for the rules�We of the Allied Forces like that� JHONKA: Allied Forces? POLLY ESTER: Yes, little boy. We�ll have more time to explain later, and we must leave this place quickly. She points her STAFF at the two, causing them to FORCEFULLY TELEPORT into a different area. END OF EPISODE FOUR |
