://Roots>>Episode 7

Intrigue
Sakisaka arranges a meeting with Tawaraya,and gives him back the Virus Core that he gave to Saki a while back.He also tells Tawa,that he doesnt want to deal with him anymore,and walks off.Shino knows about the situation,and is most worried about Sakisaka for doing that.Tabby does point out,even when you have ties with them,you never feel safe in town or out in the fields.She also thanks Haseo for saving them last time,even if he wont admit to actually responding to her e-mail.

Haseo steps out of the guild home,while over hearing some TaN members in town.Mostly about the Twilight Brigade,key of the twilight and a PKer in their guild who is stirring up trouble with the Twilight Brigade.He just keeps on walking.Standing around at a Chaos Gate,the ex-member from the Twilight Brigade has seen him since earlier.It seems Haseo wants to ask her something but isnt sure what to say.She says she understands how he feels,which is being lost,and gives him some quick advice,before logging out.Over in the hang out spot in the Lost Grounds,Shino tells Ovan about the pressure TaN has been laying on there.It doesnt really effect her,but does feel some sympathy for the new players,which are Tabby and Haseo.Ovan says its one of those predictments that just cant be avoided,and that its the start of a revolution.He also advices her,that while he is away at work,to continue looking for the virus cores,only in the Lost Grounds.Just the three of them,excluding Shino.

Gord approaches Phyllo in town,and asks him to hand over a certain item.Phyllo has no clue what he is talking about,Gord demands that he stop playing around and hand it over already. Instead,Phyllo says for him to follow him.They both meet out in the field,and Gord is already on the ground,which was Phyllo's doing of attacking him.He says with Gord's level,he doesnt have a chance with Ovan.The item Gord is looking for,is actually a virus core.He doesnt have it anymore,he gave it to Shino.Gord asks where he can find more and who has it.Phyllo says they can be found in the lost grounds,and that the some of the members of TaN have them too.

Haseo visits one of the Lost Grounds,which is the lake.Looking at the virus core he has,and the dragon statue,he stares at it for a while.Then all of a sudden,the area around him goes berserk very similiar to what happened in the last episode inside the cave,he falls to the ground,which looks like he is suffocating or freaking out as to what is going on around him. Finaly the distrubtion stops,and everything turns back to normal.Tabby and Saki are out in the field training,Tabby asks him if that was a monster back in the cave,and the type to drop virus cores.Saki believes that he hasnt heard of a monster that disintegrates your weapon like that,and believes they dont drop virus cores either.Tabby doesnt understand,so Saki tries to reexplain it..but she still doesnt get it.Elsewhere,Haseo visits Phyllo on the bridge,he asks if the game is buggy,and that there was a lot of noise,and that isnt the first time either. Phyllo says that he has heard rumors about it.Haseo is interrupted by a message sent to him, and leaves the scene.Shino has gathered up the members in the guild home,and says they will restart the search on the virus cores,with the Lost Grounds being the places to look.Shino leaves it to those three,and says she will wait for Ovan to contact her.

They head out to the first Lost Grounds,the waterfall area.With their luck,they dont find anything.Instead,they see a triangular mark on the ground.Tabby wonders if its a symbol,but Saki points out,thats not a symbol seen in the game,its still unknown to them what that mark means.The next place they visit,is the second Lost Grounds,the lake.The only thing they find is yet another mark on the floor,Tabby says it cant be a coincedence.Saki ignores the matter and says to head on to the next area,but just before they leave,Haseo stops,and looks back at the mark.It seems to be....glowing.Haseo speaks up,and the other two look back.The mark gets bright and brighter,and then suddenly,all three of them vanish.
