KMC news reproter Sarah was at the scene of a guild battle between number one guild and a fort governed by one of the top 100 players.
"We go live in 3...2...1....
-This is KMC News with live footage from the scene in RoyalRoad-
-As you can see war is starting off favorably for Chivron Guild attacking DeathKeep Fort-
-We have yet to see the player known only as The Scarlet Empress by those who witnessed her-
-We will continue to bring you updates on the sce..BOOM-
"What was that?"
Sarah surveyed the battlefield to see where the loud sound came from and from the front line of men she could see a red aura surrounding them. "What is that?" The Chivron guild front line attackers who were said to be the fiercest of the whole of RoyalRoad were running away from the battle. Sarah managed to stop one of these said runners.
"What's going on" She asked the soldier who looked upon her with eyes full of fear. He answered "SHE is here"
Immediately after saying that the soldier ran away from the battlefield. Sarah looked back at the chaos and she saw glimpses of a sword and shield. That is when a war horn sounded. "RETREAT!!!" The Chivron guild turn tailed and ran only leaving one person on the battlefield. Her hair a pure crimson, covered in the blood of her enemies she was indeed the Scarlet Empress. Sarah watched as she turned her back and faded back into her fort.

"Madam it is time for the meeting with Unicorn Corporation. Master Atlas requests your appearance there."
"Jeez father has such a daughter complex if he has to show me off at every meeting her goes to."
"Please don't say that madam. Your father loves you dearly"
"Sometimes he loves me too much Gunther!"
Her father due to "love", when she wanted to go to a public school for a change her father insisted that she be taken to and from school by limo and surrounded by bodyguards until reaching the school gate to which they would then formally bow and take their leave until the ending of school. All she wanted was a normal school life with friends. But, her father had ruined even that for her.
In that particular moment an old memory of a small boy and a girl strolling across her mansion.
"Come here Mary" The boy would call and she would go towards and grab his outstretched hand. "I wonder how he is doing?"

A soft sigh escaped from Terrance's lips as he looked about his room. He got up to roam his household. It seems that his uncle hadn't come home yet. The house was deathly silent. The only noise that could be heard was the constant humming of the silver capsule machine in his room.Terrance of course knew the reason for this and picked up a single framed photograph of his family. His mother and father who just like him had equally beautiful eyes and fair skin. His mother whom had the brightest and heartwarming smile and his father who never seemed to encounter any bad in his life. Side by side they stood with a little Terrance. But now they were no longer here.
>>4 Years Ago<<
"Mom, Dad, do you have to go?" Terrance asked.
"Yes, son. We are working on something that will change the world."
"So while we are gone your uncle Gram will take care of you"
"Stay safe brother." Gram looked straight into his eyes and Ronald looked right back into his and nodded.
"You too Gram. Take care of him for me."
"Of course I will Ronald. You should be more worried of Kat."
"He had better be" Kat said at that moment sending all three of them laughing.

Slowly a 10 year old Terrance watched as his mom and dad closed the door to the car and he watched as they drove into the distance.
Later that same day in the airplane. Ronald and Kat were flying over the Mediterranean Sea.
"Ronald this game they are making are you sure it would turn out any profit?" Kat did not like the idea of this unheard company being at the frontier of gaming trying to create something that had never been feasible as of yet.
Ronald rose an eyebrow at this question. "Kat a good source tells me that the Atlas family have also invested enormous sums of money to this project. They would never do this unless it was feasible."
"Sometimes I don't know Ronald."
They both looked at each other for a long period of time till a great turbulence shook the entire plane. Both Ronald and Kat felt their guts travel to their stomachs.
-May day, May day, Both engines on plane 247 have blown out.-
The airplane erupted into chaos on the sound of the captains voice coming from the cabin. People began to buckle in their seat belts and cry. Some prayed but everyone could see that they lost all hope in their faces. Both Ronald and Kat secured their seat belts and life vests before holding onto each other.
"Ronald we are going to die, aren't we?"
"Don't say that Kat. We are over the sea. Surely we can survive the impact."
"And if we don't. Ronald our son." Kat broke down to a sob as Ronald held her close.
"Even if we don't my brother will take care of him."
They looked upon each other and shared a kiss. After doing so they released their lips from one another and kept the other's gaze. Both of them said at the same time. "Please let our child be safe....."
-BRACE FOR IMPACT!!!-
>>Gram's House<<
"Uncle Gram can we watch t.v.?" Terrance said as he turned to face his uncle.
"Of course Terrance." Terrance smiled at this while his uncle turned on the t.v. only to see a news announcement.
-This is breaking news, a plane 247 carrying 100 passengers has crashed in the Mediterranean Sea.-
-So far rescuers have only found 3/4's of the missing passengers-
-Looking at the fireball that once flew through the sky we are lucky to have so many survivors-
-We have now just received a list of the passengers, Here are the ones that are missing still yet-
A black screen appeared as names listed in white were scrolling down. At the very bottom of the list his Uncle Gram had gasped and began to sob. For at the bottom read
Ronald Astin
Kat Astin
In disbelief Terrance look at his uncle and asked "What does this mean uncle?" His uncle looked at him with tears flowing down his eyes as he said "It means Terrance that your mom and dad won't...." His uncle stopped there as grief took the words away from his mouth. Terrance looked with utter disbelief as the his parents names slowly rolled up the screen of the television.
>>Present<<
Terrance placed the photo back down as a tear rolled down his face. He promptly used his sleeves to wipe both his eyes. Terrance looked at the time and saw that one hour had past in his reminiscing of his parents. The countdown should be down he muttered to himself as he walked slowly to his room. He looked down upon the capsule that he worked so hard to get. This is what his parents were trying to help build. And they died trying. Which is why Terrance had to get it as soon as possible by himself because this wasn't just a game to him but a connection to his parents. After they died his uncle sold their house and moved all their possession to his uncle's house. Gram took custody of him at that time. He used the money Terrance's parents left him to the bank for Terrance to use when he turned 21.
Terrance entered the capsule and equipped the helmet inside.
