"Hey, man, let's go!" Dodger shouted. "He'll slash you into ribbons. You don't be rushing in there without analyzing the situation first. Never do that!" Dodger nudged Sophius away.

Sophius grumbled loudly, then spoke with a yell, "I'm not going anywhere till I know what the hell is going on here...." He then glances at the approaching stranger, "I have no plans to go to this 'Zanarkand' as you call it.... but I will not just stand here and have you attacking those that happen upon this area by accident. Kill me all you want, what’s that going to salve...? Nothing.... killing everyone that comes by here isn't going to fix things either." After saying what he said, he just stood planted in the spot in which he was, not moving with the nudging or pulling on him. He stood as tall as he could, readying himself for the attack from the approaching stranger....

Sephiroth began to glow blue as blue energy balls formed around him, and he slowly began walking over toward Sophius.
"You shall leave this place."
The many balls shot toward Sophius. There were enough to kill a level 40 character, so getting rid of Sophius would be no problem for the balls.

Aire's eyes widened as he saw Sephy's attack. He knew what he had to do. He tackled Sophius out of the way, getting electrocuted by the balls, his HP draining. Before he faded away, he turned to Sophius and managed to say, "C'mon, go ahead. I'll catc...", and Aire's HP reached 0. His body fell on the ground, the grey corpse dissolving away.
In Real Life: Aire's player slammed his visor down. "F***ing s***! Why the hell do these things happen to me?" He pulled the visor back on, and waited to log back in.

Dodger sighed. "Man, what I'm tryin' to say is, we aughta leave now. We can figure out what's goin' on in a more protected area, away from this lunatic!"
It seemed nothing would move the dragon, so Aire pushed him out of the way of a fatal attack, sacrificing himself in the process. Dodger groaned.
"That's it, we're leaving!" he ordered the dragon. He pulled something out of his collar, causing both him and the dragon to vanish... or should we say, teleport out. They ended up in a small room in what appeared to be the Theatre District of Lindblum.
"Gee, that wasn't supposed to happen," Dodger chuckled nervously. "Anyway, before you attempt to kill me, I'd like to tell you a few things. The first one is that you can't kill me. Not at your current level, anyway.
"Secondly, never stand in the path of a psychotic nut job weilding a sword! Really, it isn't exactly a smart thing to do. I doubt we can reason with someone like that.
"Third, you should know with whom you are in this room with. Guaranteed, you won't believe me, but I'm not really into lying. I happen to be a very famous, how do I word this... hmmm, 'Expert at Tinkering with Computers.' In fact, THE most famoous, if you please. But let's not talk about me anymore. Certainly you have something to say?"

Sophius stood ready for when the balls struck him, only to be forced out of the way at the last moment by Aire. He grumbled very loudly and glanced to Aire who took full force of the attack, only to see him vanish moments later. He glared up at the stranger, about ready to ask the guy if wanted to try again.... but was cut off by Dodger. He snarled very loudly at the dog like player when they reached the other location. He hears out the other player, then booms, "Just two more *Beep* seconds and I woulda had the info I needed. The whole point of letting myself get attacked you crazy.... If I wanted you to interfere with me, I would have just asked.... besides, I was really hoping to be civil with.... whatever... that was. I don't care how long you've played here or on any other game, but you NEVER mess with the likes of me....." very loudly, loud enough to shatter any windows and shake the walls....

Aire logged back into Alexandria, but couldn't find any of his friends. So, he sent a flash mail to Sophius.
'Where are you? Puh-lease don't tell me you ditched me! Anyways, let me know where you are!"

Auron casually walked into Alexandria, with his sword on his shoulder, looking at the players involved with the Sephiroth sighting. He walked over to them, and then looked to each of them.
"Come with me. Now."
Auron continued to walk, and made his way to a building. He tapped the door with his sword, and it turned into a portal. After looking back for a short moment, he walked in.

(OOC: I think all the others are in Lindblum, so I think only Aire is in Alexandria, but I'm not 100% sure. Oh, and I'll be gone on vacation for a week starting tomorrow, so yea.)
Aire nodded and followed Auron, about to bore him with an exaggerated version of what happened, when Auron opened the portal. Aire then shut up and followed in.

The room Auron and Aire were in was no doubt an Administration Backdoor. Auron walked over to a terminal and typed something in. Immediately, Sophius and Dodger were teleported to the room.
Auron stood in the middle of the room, looking at the three.
"You will listen, and you will listen well. What we have here isn't normal. Obviously there is something going on in this game. There is no doubt in my mind that I will need your help to defeat this 'Sephiroth.' Before I begin, I will take questions from you, but make it quick."

Aire jumped around and raised his hand. "Oh ok, so the guy named Sephiroth, he's not an actual player? Well, what I mean to ask is why is he so flippin' strong? Huh? Oh, sorry guys, but I have to go. I'll send ya'll a message the second I get back!" Aire logged out.
(OOC: Goin to Hawaii, be back in a week!)

Auron looks around as Aire leaves.
"Well, if you want to know as well, it isn't a player. From what we can gather, it is a Vagrant A.I., which means it is an NPC that wanders without any real purpose. Anything else?"

Sophius meeps lightly as he';s suddenly popped from spot to spot once again, grumbling... "Would you guys just stay in one place....?" mostly to himself as he looked about the new room. He listens to Auron's words very carefully while sending a flashmail to Beatrix with what he was able to find out as well as an approx area in case the info was needed.
After listening into the convo for a moment, he pipes up, "I've heard of this A.I. before.... but whatever that was just couldn't be something that simple.... There's more to meets the eye with it. I'm mostly wondering if I should add in my flashmail to the admin that they should consider closing the area in question. My main question is why the random attacks in the town."
Sophius crossed his arms after finishing the flashmail, but waits on sending it.....

"Hold it, Dodger fans," the terrier chimed in, "but I may be able to provide some insight. In a game I played a few years back, there was a problem with a very malicious AI called Morganna. And she was darn powerful too. Turned one of the players into a big red wand. And there were these monsters puttin' people into comas. It wasn't pretty. I was hopin' that was all done with, but it seems to be happening now. Well, sorry for interuptin' ya Auron, but I hope I cleared something up."
But truth to be told, Dodger had created more questions than answers.

Auron looks around the room at everyone talking, sighs, and plops down onto a couch and sighs.
"God, I'm so confused."
He walks over to the terminal and types some things in, and looks back a moment.
"I'm asking I disagreeistants to do searches for keywords 'Sephiroth,' 'Morganna,' and 'The World.' I'm sure we'll get something interesting."
Auron types in his own search, and it begins. After a while, however, the terminal begins changing colors in an odd display, and then erases from existance.
"What the?! d**nit, this is more serious than I thought."
He takes out a cell phone and dials a number.
"Administration. Block the area "Dark Forest" from all players but myself and those in this room."
A reply could be heard, and everyone in the room flashed for a moment.
"There. From here, you are my new assistants. Investigate what you can, and report everything to me."
Auron walks out of the room, leaving no trace of himself.
