I received a text message on the glasses' screens from a number I didn't recognize; the first line said, "So. I hear you've been looking for the Network."
An intro like that, and I couldn't say no. I scrolled down.
I need a little help kicking a hacker out of my chatroom. Help me, and I'll tell you a little of what I know. ~Head_Phones
It was an alias I recognized; a second text gave me instructions on accessing the site, and a description of the problems.
I cracked my knuckles; flipping the glasses over to the URL, I smiled slightly, as much as I ever really did.
It was time to get to work.

My eyes narrowed ehind the screen of my laptop, and my fists clenched. His words hit home. I couldn't deny that they hurt, couldn't deny the blow that I felt. But I wasn't ever going to let lowlives like him win. RIku dealing with Izaya... something I didn't know, something I should've known, what with his not-so-secret (now) dealings with the Blades and all, but it didn't matter, in the end. I sent the user called 'Haraken' a private message informing him what was going on. Admin (Haraken): Also... this guy's talking a lotta nonsense. Some of it's true, some of it's not, some is exaggerated... but get ready for a learning experience. Back in general chat, my armor was impenetrable. Admin: Really? That's the best insult you can come up with? His next words... I felt my blood run cold, but.... something in me, something ugly that I'd been restraining, rose at the challenge of the words. Admin: And if you even can carry out those threats... well, let's rephrase. Admin: I'd like to see you try.

Mr. Scratch: You haven't been playing this game long Neku have you? Alrighty then, lets have a game. You can be the hero and I can be the villain. We face each other on a field, like two cowboys ready to draw, you're about the draw you're gun- BAM! I win! Tell me Neku, how did I win?

Admin: It's simple. You had the gun out already - and you shot before I had a chance to draw.

I watched the exchange flicker over the screen, puzzling over Neku's warning. He was the admin here on this site - and I was beginning to wonder if this wasn't the Network's private chatroom.
If it was... well. I was one step closer to finding Kanna.
If I could find the backdoor in. Not that I doubted my ability to do that.
Haraken: You had an accomplice standing behind him... backdoor thinking.

Mr. Scratch: WRONGO! Well, to be fair, you're partly right. But you forgot something, you see, the night before our duel, I molested your girlfriend. The psychological damage I did to her made you angry, and anger makes you careless. So on the day of the duel you didn't check over your gun like you should have, forgot to have the holster in the good position and such. Probably at the last second too you thought of the trauma to your beau and it made you hesitate, fueled by my taunt that when you're dead I would molest her again, and again, and again, that hesitation cost you your life.
Mr. Scratch: That's the big win between you and me. I can do whatever the HELL I want, and you're bound by your morals and love. Easy things to break and manipulate, you all are easy pickings.

I was shocked. How did he know that? Whatever the case I wasn't going to let the troll get a rise out of me.
Darkone71: @mr. Scratch Now I'm getting annoyed. Stop spreading lies about Sora! I know I did things I'm not proud of but I'm the one who has payed and is paying for it but don't think for five seconds I won't find you and rip your lungs out if you keep spreading false truths.
But is he telling the truth? Does Sora now hate me like any other scumbag out there? My mind can only wander what will happen if he and I cross paths again...

I don't know how to describe the feeling, except that a tiny thread in the back of my mind, a tiny fiber holding something closed that I didn't even know existed until that point, snapped with the sound of shattering glass.
I felt a rush of rage slip into my brain, just as the enemy hacker had predicted, but instead of making me stupid, full of rage and insanehate it filled me with ice that made my blood run chill as frost.
My fingers stopped dancing over the keyboard; instead, they shot home, nailing with extreme precision on the keys.
Admin: Oh, I'm not sure that that analysis is accurate. Not so sure at all.

Mr. Scratch: Well of course not! We're not cowboys! No no no, I concede to the various inaccuracies of my game, but we're just playing of course. If I wanted to be serious, I'd do this TOTALLY different. But you're boring, I have no interest in YOU Neku.
Mr. Scratch: Awwww, look at Sowa's Bewstest Buddy Wiku. Coming to his rescue, would he do the same for you though? But of course he will right! I mean, you two are friends of course...

Sairen has logged in
Sairen: How-do, guys!
Roxas sat back in his seat back at Lea's place with his desktop running, it was one of his few possessions. He'd bought it for the face that the PC was built into the monitor, making it easy to transport from place to place. Scrolling through the messages on the chat he grimaced.
Sairen: Ahhhhh man, we got hacker issues?

I hate walking home, I always end up bored!
Bored, bored, bored, bored!
Flipping through my phone I notice a text message dealing with Sora, saved for later.
Next I decide to clench my boredom and see what's going on the Network Chat.
MissPriss has logged in
Raising an eyebrow at what Sairen had just said I quickly skim through the messages and automatically take offense.
MissPriss: Yes, I do agree Sairen, seems so!
MissPriss: And I assure you, if you molested me and gave me psychological damage its would be me and not Boss you'd be answer to! And second he's not my boyfriend! We're just friends living in the same house as one another whom happen to like each other...!
MissPriss: And though I may still dislike the mother of two! How dare you call her a whore!
Opening a new tab I proceed with e-mailing Aqua's phone and letting her know her name has been vandalized by some hacker prick. Then I return to the first tab, closing the second.
MissPriss: Well, besides the jerk, how is everyone doing?

Haraken: Oh, Sairen! You're a member on here?
Haraken: And nice to meet you, MissPriss. Don't worry, things should clear up soon.
I smiled. Odds of this being an official Network chat now that I knew Sairen was a member were shooting up. Behind the scenes, the glasses's screens flicked and flickered through lines of code, simple programs that I threw through cyberspace, testing the chat's code for weaknesses and the backdoors the hacker was using. My heart started racing; this had always been my favorite part of coding, the excitement of a battle of minds...

There was a strange amount of silence before 'Mr. Scratch' finally spoke. Mr. Scratch: Oh hey, my video's uploaded. I'm going to send it a certain someone of course: but how would you guys like to beta it! Of course you would! Lets see...yep, your server is hacked enough to forcibly play the video. Lets have some fun!! A link appeared on the screen, but even for those who didn't click it the video began to play: even the ones on the phone were subjected to the video. It looked like a home recording, some guy was in front of the camera. Music playing in the background."Is this working...?" he spoke as there was some muffled yell behind him. "How can you tell? Sorry, I am not good with gadgets..." The camera turned around to show the person's face right side up, "Ahhh! There it is!" He walked away from the camera to show someone, a man, tied to a chair with a bag over his head. The strange boy walked to the man in the chair. "I'll be right with you, just got to do this one thing. And I would prefer-" he grabbed the man by the bag and pulled aggressively. "It to be QUIET." The man stopped muffling, the boy smoothed back his hair and walked to the camera. "I'm sure you're wondering, why am I doing this? Why am I so hellbent on ruining your life Sora..." he sighs, "You cramp my style. You have so much power, yet you're always holding back. You used to be such a badass, seriously, a real hellion. Now you're washed out. Me? I'm going after the things you NEVER had the balls to go for!" cracks a malicious smile, "Having more fun too." He moved his head back to the man in the chair still smiling. "You know what's the main difference between you and me Sora? I'm not afraid to be the center of attention." he gestured to the man, "This guy's just collateral damage, I mean I beat some information out of him but this next part?" He walked back to the man and began to undo his tie, wrapping it around his neck as the man in the chair began to cry out. "This is just for kicks." Then he proceeded to strangle the man, maniacal laughter was heard as the struggle knocked the camera over. Seconds later there was a huge thud, you could see the boy's feet walk across the camera. Seconds later he laid down in front of the camera, face looking directly at the screen. "Ahhh...so quiet..." Then the recording ended. Mr. Scratch: Now...I want your honest thought, cause I mean, it's been awhile since I flexed the killing muscles and I really hope I did good, cause I am about to visit the blue haired whore soon and I wanna look my best.

The bastard...Clearly we weren't dealing with just any nutjob. How does this freak know Sora and why haven't we heard of him before now?!?
Opening a PM I wrote to Neku.
"Contact Shizuo, I'm going to find Sora."
I sent it and waited for a reply...
Darkone71: I'd call you a monster but something tells me you'd just take it as a complement. So how about this:
Run. Run as fast as you can.
