^This was me…
Past Wooden Garden Village, and up a large hill, there was a safe zone called Breeze Hill. Breeze Hill was one of the many popular safe zones that resides many players who didn’t want to clear any levels, accept for one player. Kenta Takahiro was the only player in Breeze Hill that cleared levels, fought bosses and upgraded his weapons. He was called the bravest player and non-lazy player in all Breeze Hill.
One day when Kenta was lounging under a weeping willow tree, a solider from a guild came over to him, wondering why he was lounging under a tree than fighting on the front lines. He didn’t answer the solider. Kenta rolled back over and fell asleep on the nice soft grass, as the sun shone brightly down on his face.
“Ya know sleeping isn’t gonna clear any levels” the solider said.
“So what? Why don’t you just chill and relax for a while. The breeze is nice, and the sun is warm. For once in your life of fighting, just relax.” Kenta smiled.
The solider shrugged and took Kenta’s offer. She knelt down on the grass and fell asleep with a snap of your fingers. Kenta looked over at the solider and saw the solider fast asleep next to him; he wondered why a solider is all the way out here in Breeze Hill. It was sort of strange to see a girl solider too, especially on that looked like a guild member; Kenta wanted to know who this solider girl was, and why she was here in Breeze Hill. When evening came, the solider woke up to Kenta staring at her from up in the tree. She jumped up from her spot on the ground and blushed; the solider was very embarrassed that she fell asleep when she could be doing something productive.
“You slept a long time. How do you feel?” Kenta asked.
“Oh um I feel a lot better. Thanks for offering me to sleep for awhile” the solider grinned.
“No problem. Oh by the way, the name is Kenta Takahiro” he said.
“Mizuki Ito, the Hooded Samurai guild.” Mizuki bowed.
Kenta gasped, he couldn’t believe that he was talking to the second in command of the Hooded Samurai guild! This was insane, he shouldn’t be talking to her; he was out of her league.
“The Hooded Samurai guild…” Kenta breathed, “I am sorry, I didn’t know that you were…ugh this is awkward.”
Mizuki was confused. She didn’t know what Kenta meant, but she couldn’t stick around to find out. Akio needed her back at Wooden Village Garden soon; he was going to go hunt down Daichi and Yuko so they can join the guild.
“Look, I gotta go. Maybe you can come with me. There’s a hotel behind the pub here. We can rest and you can teleport with me to Wooden Village Garden, if that’s okay.” Mizuki smiled.
“Sure, I’d love to partner up.” Kenta smiled back.
“Excellent! I’ll send you an invite, and then I’ll see ya later okay?” Mizuki said.
Kenta nodded. Then watched Mizuki run off to the hotel she was talking about; Kenta never thought a beater like him, would ever partner up with a non-beater like Mizuki. It felt like he had a friend finally, someone he could fight along side with, and have nice dinners with. Kenta felt happy, something he hasn’t felt since he entered this game; Mizuki was the happiest thing that happened to him.

Why the heck do you need us?” I exclaimed.
Akio, Mizuki and her friend were all sitting in my room with Daichi leaning up against the wall not amused with Akio’s presence. He wanted the two of us to join his guild so he and the rest of his soldiers could pass the boss battle, but I wasn’t going to accept his offer right away. It had been a year since being in SWO, and I felt like my life was whisking away, with fighting on the front lines with Daichi by my side, I just felt like there was not meaning to my life here in SWO. Daichi is the only person who actually cares for the people in this game, and going to fight for the Hooded Samurai is just suicide for both me and the rest of the guild.
“You must be an idiot to ask us for help.” Daichi mused.
“Agreed, you can’t just come in here all hero like and ask us for help, Akio. It doesn’t work like that, no matter what world we’re in.” I stated.
Akio stared at us; he looked like he was about to blow a fuse on us.
“Daichi, you idiot!! You know as well as I, that without passing the levels we’re all stuck here forever. So why don’t you cut the crap and help Mizuki and I out!?” Akio fumed.
Daichi looked over at me; he wasn’t going to agree with him that easily and risk our lives for someone who doesn’t think before acting. Daichi told Akio that he’ll think about his offer, and come up with a decision in the morning. The three left my room and it was just Daichi and I; today has been a rough day for the both of us.
“Well that went…swell.” I sighed.
“Akio is stupid to think that acquiring a beater for his guild will eventually improve it.” Daichi fumed.
“Daichi, just calm down okay. I have you to protect me, and you know what’s best for this party. If you choice to go with Akio, I won’t stop you. Besides, Akio is a jerk and has no idea what the boss battles are like further up in the levels. Only you and I do.” I said.
Daichi came off the wall, and walked over to me. He stared at me, and I stared at him. I was having a weird feeling in my stomach, and it wouldn’t go away. Daichi leaned down to my face and kissed my forehead lightly; he never did that to me before!
“You are my special little samurai, Yuko. Don’t forget that, okay?” he whispered.
“Okay…” I blushed so much.
“Good, because without you I wouldn’t be the person you see today. Yuko, you made me a better person. Thank you” Daichi grinned.
“Welcome…” I smiled.
He bowed and smiled at me; then he left my room for the night. I didn’t tell him, I didn’t tell how much I care about him! I am such a stupid girl…

It was close to Christmas here in SWO, and I couldn’t believe that I’ll be in here for almost two years already. I felt sad that I won’t be able to spend Christmas with my brother and his girlfriend; it snowed every time we opened presents. Now I am stuck in here without no Christmas, no family and no snow; what else could go wrong?
“Yuko, Mizuki needs your assistance. Akio is missing and nobody knows where or what happened to him.” Kenta said out of breath.
“Daichi might know. He and Akio might be beating each other up or something.” I shrug.
Kenta raised an eyebrow at me like I was serious, which I was, and took off running in the direction Mizuki was at. I ran off with him, to see if I could be of any help since this was for my best friend after all.
“So where in the world are we going?” I asked
“Oh, to Breeze Hill my safe zone.” Kenta replied.
Breeze Hill? I have never heard of that safe zone before, is it like Wooden Village Garden I wonder? I guess I’ll have to find out eventually. When Kenta and I arrived to Breeze Hill, there in the middle of town was Akio and Daichi with swords drawn ready to fight each other. Mizuki and I stood there on the side lines watching them closely, hoping they wouldn’t start fighting and draw attention to themselves.
“Akio, I am in no mood to fight you. So back off and leave me be!” Daichi yelled.
“NO! You’re too selfish not to help my guild and Mizuki, so I’m ending this!” Akio exclaimed.
“Both of you are being irrationally about this!” I yelled.
“Silence you child! This is between me, and your beater friend!” Akio grimaced.
I looked at Mizuki; this is not going to end well for either one of them. There is gotta be some way to end this rivalry between these two, but I can’t seem to find out a way. Before I could think up something fast, the men began slashing and clanging their swords together; Mizuki couldn’t watch and I just started to cry. As we watched, Daichi’s health was slowly dissipating, and Akio was somehow not dying; I couldn’t handle this anymore, I had to save Daichi!
“I am not gonna let you kill my friend!” I exclaimed.
“Get out of my way, child!” Akio slashes me.
Daichi watched as I crashed to the ground, and Akio stands over my body with his sword ready to plunge into my body. But Daichi pushed me out of the way, and took my place instead; Akio plunged his sword straight into Daichi’s chest and left him there to die. Mizuki followed Akio, because he ordered her too, and left me there with Daichi dying in my arms.
“No, no you can’t leave me…don’t die on me!” I cried.
Daichi looked up at me, and smiled whilst stroking my face gently. “Be strong my little samurai. I love you…always” he said taking his last breath.
“I love you, Daichi…always my samurai.” I sobbed.
Akio will pay for killing my friend; my Christmas was ruined because of him, and he won’t get away with it! I won’t let Daichi die in vain; I will avenge him and get justice for him. Worst Christmas ever…I am never gonna celebrate Christmas the same again, not after this, not again.
“Goodbye Daichi…live free.” I said taking up his katana and watching his bits disappear into the sky.
Daichi will be remembered on this day, and I’m going to make sure that other beaters aren’t going to be treated like trash anymore. No longer am I going to be treated like a child, I’m going to grow up and beat this game for good! SWO needs to end, because its ending people’s lives including mine and I’m done with it; I am going to end this forever! I’m going to do this for Daichi, for his family, for my family; if I die, I die for a good cause.
“Thank you Daichi for showing me courage in this game…it’s been a honor” I bowed.
So this is my third part of my anime that I have been writing for a while. For a writer I seriously have to many Word documents on my computer that haven’t been finished… I know that sucks…
GERONIMO!!
Quote is from Once Upon a Time. Peter Pan freaks me out so much…I wasn’t expecting him to be a villain. I also wasn’t expecting Captain Hook to be so gorgeous either, but who cares right?
