Welcome to GGO
It was an all to familiar scene for Jett; the bleak white hallways and the lingering scent of disinfected that hung in the air. The doctors and nurses that passed by him gave him no thought since it was nothing for him to be here after school got out. Jett sighed in sadness before looking through a window into a isolated room where a massive machine rested. He paid no attention to the machine however he did look at the person the machine was keeping alive. He watched as the doctors did a check up on the middle aged woman checking on her vitals and if she would respond to anything. Jett held out hope that after all these years; 5 years of waiting and hoping beyond hope that a miracle would happen. That the woman in the room, his mother, would response to the treatment. He ran his hand through his messy auburn hair pacing in front of the window growing restless with each passing second. A tap on the window got his attention making him quickly look at the source seeing the doctor that was checking his mother. Hope filled him but it quickly vanished as the doctor looked at Jett with a sorrowful face frowning and shaking his head. Jett half expected this outcome it was the same one that he got repeatedly. He sigh waving to the doc as his way of saying thanks before walking down the empty hallway. His feet echoing off the walls.
"I guess that procedure is the only way for mom to get better." He said aloud to himself.
He called the elevator and stepped in frowning as the doors closed the silver of the doors reflecting his deep green eyes that were currently bloodshot from the lack of sleep. But he knew he couldn't sleep not yet; not tonight nor any time soon. It was time for him to hunt, make money...and kill players.
Ruby Rose dashed through the hallways of Beacon academy after the final bell rang. She didn't wait for her sister to catch up to walk home as usual. Ruby was in a hurry to get home and log into Gun Gale Online. She hoped from one foot to the other as she jogged in place waiting to cross the busy streets. As soon as the light turned green she took off across the road and down the street to her home. She opened the door to the two story house she lived in with her sister Yang and their father before entering her room throwing her school bag into the corner of the room. She grabbed her AmuSphere from her desk putting it on and laying on the bed with a smile.
"Link Start!" she said happily.
Her eyes closed as the AmuSphere activated sending her into the world of Virtual reality.
Ruby opened her eyes and found herself in the familiar city of Glocken. She walked towards a shop passing other players as she stopped looking at herself in a window. She admired herself in the window. As she wore a black and red jacket with matching pants and a strapless top under the jacket with her signature cape on. She nods approvingly before entering the shop and buying sniper rifle ammo as well as checking out the newest models before she stepped back out to the grey and bleak city heading towards the teleporter. The massive skyscrapers nearly blocking out the black sun. Ruby stood on the teleporter as a interface appeared in front of her along with different areas she could go to. She looked at them trying to decide which area it was.
"I think it was the underground ruins." Ruby remarked placing a finger on her chin thinking.
She selected the underground ruins and was taken there instantly.
The enemy sniper androids didn't know what hit them as Ruby sniped their heads off rushing a familiar "Dead" message appearing above the fallen enemies before they shattered into thousands of crystals. She slid to a stop as she noticed some drone enemies taking out some other players before she took cover behind a wall. She started to back away before she felt the barrel of a gun pointed at her back.
"Well well what do we have here? A lost little girl?" A deep voice said behind her.
She slowed turned around and came face to face with a shotgun pointed right at her. The man holding it had shoulder length hair wearing a eye patch with a dark blue uniform flanked by a group of other players wearing gas masks.
"I-I'm not looking for trouble. Can't we just get along?" Ruby asked nervously knowing her sniper was useless at this range.
The man started to laugh as well as the others.
"This is GGO girl, there's no getting along here, it's every player for themselves. But I'll tell you what, leave all your gear here and I MAY feel geneous and let you live." The man sneered.
Ruby stared at the gun, her instincts told her to run for it but she knew even if she did get away from the man with the shotgun one of his teammates would get her. She hoped for someone to help her; to give her time to get a distance away so she could fight. A second later the sound of a AR firing filled the area as the players were mowed down by a unseen assailant. The remaining players quickly got their weapons ready scanning the area in a panic. Ruby took the chance and dived behind some cover pulling out her sniper rifle and firing at the man with the shotgun killing him. Between Ruby sniping and the mysterious AR wielder the remaining players didn't stand a chance. A minute later the last player fell shattering into crystal pieces. Ruby took the time to reload her gun before she heard feet approaching, in a swift motion she came out of cover pointing it at a young man with auburn hair and wearing a dark purple jacket with a golden design on it and camo cargo pants. He quickly put his hands up a AR resting on his back.
"Relax! I'm friendly." He told Ruby.
"I just wanted to see if you're alright."
Ruby slowly lowered her gun before nodding.
"Yea i am, Thanks for the help back there. Name's Ruby." She introduced holding her hand out to him as she smiled.
The young man shook her hand returning the smile.
"Call me Hawkeye pleasure to meet you Ruby. By chance are you new to GGO?" Hawkeye asked placing his hands in his pockets.
Ruby started to play with her fingers shyly and looked away.
"Y-Yea, i am i just started a yesterday." She explained.
"I thought so, those guys are renowned for attacking newbies. I can't stand people like that...they suck the fun right out of games." Hawkeye said walking past Ruby before looking back at her over his shoulder.
"Come on, let's get going. Stick with me and I'll help you out." Hawkeye said.
Ruby nodded before following Hawkeye farther into the ruins.
After awhile Ruby and Hawkeye reached a box in the center of a large room and they looked around guns ready just in case before they walked towards the box.
"Thanks for the help Hawkeye, i wouldn't have gotten here without you." Ruby told him smiling at him.
"It's no problem, i'll admit it's better than playing solo" Hawkeye replied as they walked towards the box.
"You Solo? Why do that?" Ruby asked slightly surprised.
Hawkeye stopped at the box along with Ruby as he sighed.
"...I lie to myself." Hawkeye replied cryptically.
Ruby looked at him confused tilting her head slightly.
"I keep telling myself 'i don't need anyone.' but in reality...No one needs me." Hawkeye said sadly and downtrotedly.
Before Ruby could say anything the box opened revealing a small crossbow like weapon and Hawkeye looked at it with wide eyes.
"I'll be damned...it's a UFG." Hawkeye said in awe.
"UFG?"
"It means Ultimate Fiber Gun. Think of it as a grapple gun that will let you fly across the sky. I heard rumors but i never seen one before. I think this is the first one they put in game." Hawkeye explained as they both looked at the gun.
"With this I'll be able to get more contracts done and better advantage points while not putting me in to much danger." Hawkeye thought.
Ruby jumped when she heard the click of a gun and she quickly turned seeing it was Hawkeye who had a desert eagle pointed at her face. Terror flooded her mind making it shut down as Hawkeye looked at her sorrowfully as he held the gun at her.
"W-What?" she asked in fear and horror.
"I'm sorry, Ruby, but i need that gun. It'll be a great help to me." Hawkeye said sadly.
"Why are you doing this?" Ruby asked frozen in please.
"Let me answer that with some questions of my own...what would you do to save someone you love? How far would you go? Would you commit heinous acts to make sure they are safe and healthy?" Hawkeye asker her.
"B-But I thought we were friends!" Ruby exclaimed
Hawkeye recoiled slightly in shock and surprise before he hung his head his hair covering his eyes.
"...I'm sorry Ruby…." He said before looking at Ruby his face full of regret and sorrow.
"I'm...really am sorry."
That was the last thing Ruby heard as the bullet hit her in the head.
It was as if time was in slow motion for Ruby; She turned to look at Hawkeye as she fell hurt and sadness but it soon turned to surprise and shock when she saw Hawkeye standing there tears threatening to flow from his sorrowful eyes. As she looked at him she hit the steel ground and everything went black.
