Bridget and Jerry fought their way down to the lowest level of Desperation, picking up a sizeable amount of treasure along the way. She was a little disturbed at how easy it seemed. Granted, she was a dex monkey and a GM macer, but that didn't even come close to what she was doing now. She was using kris blades and this character didn't even have the fencing skill. The Game Masters and Dev Team would definitely not be happy if everyone with a NueroData Interface could pull stunts like this.
Jerry led her to a secret chamber she had never seen before. Inside, were 3 men, all red. They did not, however, have the typical kEwL DeWd names. Johnathan Daker, Oswald Bastable and Ulrik von Beck stood at one end of a table.
"Cornelius," said Daker, "you're finally here. Who's the girl?"
"My... Companion," he replied with a wry grin.
She wasn't sure she liked the sound of that. Something odd was going on here and she didn't like being in the middle of it.
"Did you find it?" asked Bastable.
"Yes, indeed I did," said Jerry.
He reached into his bag and pulled out a small pouch, which he laid on the table. von Beck opened it and pulled out... a huge black sword.
Misty was dumbfounded. Two handed swords did not exist in the game, nor did colored weapons.
"Draxx..." she said, "what's going on here? That should not be here."
"Sweet little Misty," he said, "you have no idea what that is."
"Bev..."
"Sorry dear, you've mistaken me for somebody else... Corp Por"!!!
An energy bolt leapt from Jerry's fingers and struck her full in the chest. She'd been nailed by them before, but this was the first time she actually had to feel it. As she fell to her knees, she looked up at Jerry one last time... finally, Draxx's full emotions seemed to come through. It was nothing but pure hate... hate for everything that lived. Her last thoughts were that this was not Beverly... and then everything went black.
