Sword Art Online: Lost Song
*Inside ALFheim*
Sonic and Kirito both opened their eyes to see they were inside AFLheim. They both looked up to see a piece of land floating at the sky. The two of them flew up at it and landed on top of it. They two of them were looking at the view.
"Wow!" Kirito said
"Everything look's pieceful." Sonic said
Someone fly's toward's them.
"Kirito! Sonic!" Leafa said
Leafa land's next to them.
"Hey, Leafa." Kirito said
"What are you doing here?" Sonic said
"What were you thinking, logging in before me? Were you that eager to start?" Leafa said
"Hahaha, my bad. No hard feelings?" Kirito said
"Sorry." Sonic said
"Fine, I guess not. But would you look at that, it's finally finished." Leafa said
"A new update, complete with new area to explore. The legendary floating continent of Svart Alfheim. Realm of the gods of light and darkness!" Kirito said
"I could imagine beging there right now!" Sonic said
"Yeah, yeah, stop drooling. We all know you've been looking foward to this Kiri and Sonic. Also, can I just your real name, seeing as you're my brother and all?" Leafa said
"Yeah, fine. ALO... ALfheim Online. I know it's only beem a few months since we started playing. But everyone, including me and Sonic, has been waiting for this massive update. I can't wait to see what's here!" Kirito said
"I can tell. You have that "must leave" look in your eyes. So enough with the staring, let's go! The new area is just a short flight away!" Leafa summoing her wings
"You're right! Come on!" Kirito said
"To the new area!" Sonic said
The two backed up and started running. They both jumped off and summon their wings. Kirito, Sonic and Leafa were flying to the new area.
*Woglinde, the Island of Meadows*
"Here we are. So this Svart Alfheim..." Kirito said
"Looks like it." Leafa said
"This place looks great!" Sonic said
"Daddy! Brother!" Yui said
Yui apper's.
"You finally made it! Is it just you two and Leafa today?" Yui said
"For now. We're meeting up with the others later." Leafa said
"Aww, all right." Yui said
"So Yui, where exactly are we?" Kirito said
"The lowest level zone of the new content's floating continent. It's called Woglinde, the Island of Meadows. You're supposed to start her and clear one island at a time, gradually gaining access to more areas. Or, to put it simply, you to beat one island to move on to the next." Yui said
"Got it! Thanks, Yui!" Kirito said
*Later*
"Phew, looks like we cleared this place." Kirito said
"Hehehe, how was it? Like the feel of the new areas?" Leafa said
"Yeah, they're really fun." Kirito said
"I thought you'd say that. And I happen to agree. I'm looking foward to playing through the rest of it! Now that we finished stretching our legs, how about we visit the nearest town?" Leafa said
"We could ise a break. Is there a Teleport Gate around here?" Kirito said
"Daddy, this is the perfect time to use you Marker." Yui said
"Right, my Marker. Marker... Marker? Did I have one of those?" Kirito said
"It's in the manuals everyone received when they implemented Svart. Alfheim. Didn't you read it?" Yui said
"Sorry, Yui. I must jave missed it. Can you give me the short version?" Kirito said
"Me too!" Sonic said
"Sure, Daddy and Brother."
Yui start's explaining it.
"I get it! Just go im the directiom the Marker poinys and it'll lead you to the nearest Teleport Gate! That's useful!" Leafa said
"Yeah! It'll definitely come in handy when we're clearing these areas." Kirito said
*At The Teleport Gate*
"Finally, the Teleport Gate!" Kirito said
"Let me explain how to use Teleport Gates. In Svart Alfheim, towns and other areas are often by these Teleport Gates. As you proceed through, you will unlock new destinations that can be reached through these Teleport Gates. So there are more places to see besides this meadow island. I'm looking foward to seeing what lies ahead! All right, then! Let's use the Teleport Gate!" Yui said
The four of them enter the teleporter. They teleported back to the Town.
*The Floating City of Ryne*
The four were teleporter back to the town.
"Wow, look at this place! So this is what towns in Svart Alfheim look like!" Kirito said
"So great. I would love to move in!" Sonic said
"Isn't entering a new town just so exciting? I love seeing what each one has to offer!" Leafa said
"This town has all the basics an adventurer needs, like inns and stores. It's even got a tavarn and an arena." Yui said
"Sounds like there's a lot to do. It'll be worth checking everything out." Kirito said
"Hold on a second, Daddy. It looks like part of the system has been updated. Unlike in vanilla ALO, flying is no longer permitted in towns in Svart Alfheim. But speed is still allow for Sonic." Yui said
"Interesong. It sounds like the system architecture for ALO and Svart Alfheim are totally different." Kirito said
"Exactly. In this update, they redesigned everything. A number of new dungeons and also added, including some of the hardest yet." Yui said
"So there's lots to explore, and even more things to fight! Sweet!" Kirito said
Kirito see's Asuna in the distance. Kirito start's running to her. Sonic follow's him.
"Wait for me!" Sonic said
"Kirito! Sonic!" Asuna yelled
"Hey, it's Asuna and the crew. Glad to see you!" Kirito said
"How's it going everyone?" Sonic said
"I knew it! You logged on early and started without us, didn't you Kirito and Sonic?" Lizbeth said
"Come on, Liz. You should've known they couldn't resist the urge to log in." Silica said
"You don't know the meaning of restraint. do you? How are we supposed to work as a team if you off on your own? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. You are what you arem I guess." Sinon said
"Hehe. You should have seen them the past couple days. They been bouncing around like caged animals. No offense Sonic." Asuna said
"Hey, come on! I'm a Hedgehog!" Sonic said
"Yahoo, Kirito! Sonic! You're looking as haleand healthy as always!" Philia said
"Always first out the gate when it comes to games! Don't power level and leave us behind, all right?" Strea said
"Hahaha. Sorry for jumping on early everyone. We just couldn't resist." Kirito said
"Plus the massive update came out. So that's once excuse." Sonic said
"Hey now, aren't you forgetting someone!? What, only have eyes for the girls?" Klein said
"Klein, Agil, I'm glad to see you too. We weren't sure if you'd make it here on the first day." Kirito said
"Great seeing you two here!" Sonic said
"Come on, man. This is a major moment in ALfeim history! The first large-scale system update! We wouldnmt be able to call ourselves gamers unless we logged on the second it went live!" Agil said
"Still, we've got to be crazy to be back online after everything that happened to us back in SAO." Klein said
"I know what you mean. After those two years of endless, nerve-wracking fighting and all. Doesn't it feel weird? All of us, back together in another VRMMO?" Asuna said
"Yeah." Kirito said
"(We went through a lot together in Aincrad, but we learned a lot as well. The bonds we formed through our shared experiences there are the reason why we stand here, together, once more. But Sonic, he's been with me and helping me since day one of Sword Art Online. He's like a brother to me.)" Kirito thought
"What's wrong, Kirito? Cat got your tongue? You look blue!" Klein said
"Hahaha... No teasing, Klein! Come on, let's go! There must be tons of players already way ahead of us! We have to catch up!" Kirito said
"I know I'm itching to get started." Sinon said
"I can help you stop itchingg." Sonic said
Sinon blushes a little.
"N-Not that way..." Sinon said
"Oh ok." Sonic said
"I can't wait to see what magnificent treasures are hidden here, just screaming to be found!" Philia said
"I'm looking foward to finding some new materials myself!" Lizbeth said
"I can't wait to stock my shelves with the newest shines." Agil said
"I can't wait to gain EXP and level up so I can upgrade my stats. Most important one is speed!" Sonic said
"Come on, Pina! Let's do this!" Silica said
"*chripchrip*"
"Yeah, let's do this! I have to show off my awesome skills!" Klein said
"Leave the data analysis to me!" Yui said
"Don't forget me. I'm ready to help too!" Strea said
"If everyone else is rarin' to kick some tail, then so am I! Let's do this!" Leafa said
"Let's go, Kirito and Sonic!" Asuna said
"All right!" Kirito said
"You got it!" Sonic said
"Svart Alfheim, say your prayers! Here we comes!" Kirito and Sonic said
"Woohoo!"
*Back Story*
"My name is Kazuto Kirigaya. But I have another name, one worth as much-no, worth even more than my real one. For two years now, I've lived my life as Kirito. It feels natural to me now, like my other name never even existed. The year 2022... Buzz from beta testers about the new video genre known as the "VRMMO" makes the flagship product an overnight hit. Sword Art Online. A game that simulates all five senses. A virtual world, fed directly into the player's brain. The game's designer, Akihiko Kayaba, programmes in a fatal flaw: the first 10,001 players were unable to log out. Not only that, but death in game meant death in real life. The game went from virtual fantasy to grisly death match. There was only one way to escape: beat the game. Two years later, I was able to bring that horrific game to an end with a friend. But for 4,000 players, it was already too late. The 6,000 survivors suffered as well, their bodies severely atrophied after two years of constant life support. The other SAO players and I had to spend months in rehab before we were release from our respective hospitals."
"Well, we've landed on a new island. Now what do we do?" Kirito said
"How about we do some main quests to get used to this place?" Leafa said
"Hmm... There are so many options. I wonder which one we should pick?" Silica said
"Ooh! There's a collection quest! Let's do that! I love me some items!" Lizbeth said
"It won't take too long, and it's pretty easy. I think it's a good place to start." Asuna said
"Yo, Kirito! Where do we have to go to get this quest started?" Klein said
"We should leave town and head northeast from the Teleport Gate. There should be a dungeon and another Gate there." Kirito said
"The monsters around here are weak, so it should be a simple matter to do some reconnaissance." Sinon said
"There are items I can use for crafting and upgrading equipment. Also, monster drops that can be used for cooking!" Lizbeth said
"Anything we can find to improve out equipment would be fasntastic!" Leafa said
"It sounds like we'll find some ingredients for me, too. I'm looking foward to making some new dishes!" Asuna said
"Then it's a plan. We'll split into two groups. My party's goal is the dungeon to the northeast of the Teleport Gate. It'll be me, Sonic, Asuna, Leafa, and Sinon." Kirito said
"This will be the party for this quest, right? You can edit your party at any time at the inn: Gullinkambi, "The Crowned Rooster." Stop by before we set out!" Yui said
*Inn: Gullinkambi*
"Looks like we can edit our party here." Kirito said
"Yes. You can swap out up to four part members here." Yui said
"Waht about the people who aren't in the current party?" Kirito said
"They can't assist in battle, but they'll still be right there with you. If you want to change your battle party, you have to come back to this inn. The current party is Daddy, Brother, Mommy, Leafa, and Sinon. Why don't you try changing your party?" Yui said
*Back To The Town*
"Shall we set out on our next adventure?" Yui said
"Ready when you are." Kirito said
"Ready as well. Leave the speed to me." Sonic said
"I'm excited to be adventuring with everyone again!" Asuna said
"I'll keep everyone safe, no matter what!" Leafa said
"Leave ranged combat to me." Sinon saod
*Back At Woglinde, the island of Meadows*
"Our goal is the dungeon located to the northeast. Let's follow the Marker to our destination!" Kirito said
The five of them start adventuring.
"Hey, Ausna, do you think ALO is fun?" Kirito said
"Yes! Being able to adevnture together with you again is like a dream. Also, I love being a fairy!" Asuna said
The five of them started flying over the enemies.
"Girls really love fairies and high fantasy settings, don't they?" Kirito said
"Fantasy is nice, but using magic and being able to fly are so amazing! The real world can hardly beat that." Asuna said
They soon find a door that was close. The five of them fly towards it. They soon make it.
"What's with this door?" Kirito said
"It appears to be sealed by magic." Leafa said
"So in other words, we can't just kick it down?" Sinon said
"It looks that way. We won't be able to go any farther until we do something about it." Asuna said
"There's a probably a hiddem lever or something that will be open it, but where could it be?" Kirito said
"Hey guys! Look what I found!" Sonic said
They see a strange hole at the ground.
"Hmm, there's a strange hole over here." Kirito said
"This looks promising. Maybe we need to stick a piece of stone in there or something?" Sinon said
"There must be an object that'll fit somewhere nearby. Let's take a look around." Kirito said
"Got it!" Asuna said
*Moments Later*
"Everyone, look at this." Kirito said
They see scratched up words.
"What does it say? "The Fields of Thor?" Leafa said
"I thought I saw a farm or ranch or something in this direction earlier." Asuna said
"I guess that th "Fields of Thor" refers to this farm?" Leafa said
"We might find clues on how to open this door there." Sinon said
"That settles it, let's check it out! To the Fields of Thor!" Kirito said
"Let's see what's over there!" Sonic said
"Lead on!" Leafa said
The five of them started flying again. While flying, several green ball bats appered.
"Get ready!" Sonic said
All of them took out their weapons as they started flying towards the green bats. They then start attacking the eneimes. Kirito and Sonic were fighting side-to-side. Leafa, Sinon, and Asuna were figting side-to-side as well. They all attacked the enemies. Minutes later, they all killed the enemies.
"Phew! Looks like that was the last of them." Kirito said
"Great job everyone!" Sonic said
"We did it!" Leafa said
"They had the numbers, but they were pretty weak. If they were stringer, we would have been in trouble." Asuna said
"Which means things are going to get a lot harder from here on out. ALO might just be a challenge." Sinon said
"These guys were pushovers, but we'll soon face stronger and more fearsome monsters." Kirito said
"We're ready for anything!" Sonic said
"Ahaha, look at you three! You're enjoying thism aren't you?" Leafa said
"Is there something wrong with that? This is a game, after all! It's meant to be enjoyed!" Kirito said
"Classic Kirito! You're a hardcore gamer! Then again, you've been obsessing over this game forever, haven't you?" Leafa said
"That's right."
"(Yeah. I got interested in ALO almost immediateky after I returned from SAO and was discharged from the hospital.)"
*Flashback*
"(I had just moved back home, and was finally getting used to living in the real world again.)" Kirito thought
"Kazuto! Do you have a minute?" Sugu said
"(That's Suguha, my younger sister. Her character's name is Leafa. She's one of the players who survived SAO with me.)" Kirto thought (Wait? What? I don't remember that.)
"You remember that other VRMMO I used to playe?" Sugu said
"You mean ALO? ALfheim Online? That's the game where you could fly, right? There were wars between different races and so on." Kazuto said
"Right. It was built off a copy of SAO's servers." Asuna said
"(That's my girlfriend, Asuna Yuuki. I met her in SAO along with my first best friend Sonic The Hedgehog in SAO who his back to his own world. I heard he played ALO. Anyway, We got mixed up in some crazy stuff, good and bad, but when all was said and done, we'd formed an unbrakeable bond. We experoenced things we'd rather forget. Some of the horros we faced almost brole our bodies and our minds. We fought for over two years before we gained our freedom. But those years had meaning, I won't forget that.)"
"Kazuto! Are you listening to me? I told you to look at this article!" Sugu said
"Sorry. Let's see... "World Famous Internet Idol 'Seven' Actullay Genius Scientist." You don't say." Kirito said
"(But this article wasnt't some blurb from a third-rate website. It was major TV news broadcast to the wider public.)"
"She's a total genius. Twelve years old and already graduated from college. MIT no less, and the head of her class. Now she's working as a world-famous singer and Internet idol. Her real name is 'Rainbow Arshavin." Asuna said
"Oh yeah, I know who you mean. She's half Japanese, half Russian, right? She's done a lot of research on VR companies. She had papers online. Stuff all about VR and full-dove systems." Kazuto said
"Hmph, you know an awful lot about her." Asuna said
"Ah, hahaha..."
"(I still hadn't told Asuna or anyone else, but my dream was to study virtual reality abroard. That's why I was so interested in Rainbow. I mange to contact Sonic back to his world and he said that he went to one of her concerts and met Rainbow face-to-face soon after they bump into eachother after the concert and the two became instant friends. The two even sang together once and the crowd roar louder for the two of them. I got jealous so much. He met her a few weeks ago. They both have eachother on their friend List and they talk every day.)"
"More importantly, she's been putting on concerts inside VRMMO's! Amazing! Imagine if someone had done that in SAO?" Sugu said
"You got that right." Asuna said
"SAO different. Online games were always supposed to be about having fun. This is sort of thing is to be expected." Kazuto said
"Can you believe that she's a scientist, and an idol? I would faint if I ever had to get on stage! Apparently she doesn't just sing, but writes the music and lyrics herself too!" Sugu said
"(Try saying that to Sonic.)"
"According to the article, "Her angelic voice lifts spirits, stops fighting, and sets ALO on the road to peace." ALO's designed around PvP and the war between races, so therre's not much point fighting monsters or beating the game." Kazuto said
"You're right. But seriously, people overseas really know how to get the most fun of their games!" Sugu said
"(Rainbow... The attemtion her research on VRMMO's had been 's had been getting was starting to pique my interest.)"
*Present*
The five of them were flying towards the farm. They see more players at the farm.
"Hey look, more players." Kirito said
"I wonder what's happening?" Sonic said
"All roght, that's the last monster! Time to move on to the next area!" The player said
"Uh oh, someone's catching up. Time to hustle!" The other player said
"He ran off." Leaga said
"With the way they were fighting, I'm guessing they were pretty seasoned gamers." Kirito said
"Any party that's already made it this far has got to be pretty good." Sinon said
"They might wind up being some of out strongest rivals." Asuna said
"I wonder what their guild name is?" Kirito said
"We'll find out soon." Sonic said
"Come on, I don't want to get left behind! Let's do some more quests!" Leafa said
"You're right! Let's go!" Kirito said
The five of them countinued flying. They soon fly at the house.
"I hope ws can find some clues here." Asuna said
"Let's give this a through search." Kirito said
Kirito walk's behind the house to see a small door.
"It's a pretty run-down. I'm guessing it's been abandoned for some time." Yui said
Kirito run's back to the front of the house and run's toward's the door.
"It appears to be locked. It won't open." Yui said
Then, behind Kirito was an enemy. Before the enemy can attack him. Sonic homing attacks the enemy. Kirito turn's around.
"Check you surroundings next time." Sonic said
Kirito run's toward's the left side to see machine with a key.
"Look, a key!" Kirito said
*Key to Billskirnir!*
"We should be able to get in now." Sinon said
"Kirito, hurry up and open the door!" Leafa said
"All right, hold your horses!" Kirito said
They walk in front of the house door and put the key inside it. Kirito twist the key and the door open's up.
"That's a relief. I thought this place might be filled with monsters." Kirito said
"If it was. The place would of beem crowded." Sonic said
"Look! Over there! Is that lump of rock what we're looking for?" Sinon said
"All right, we found it quicker than I expected! Now, let's take it back and...huh? Isn't this much smaller than the hole by that stone door?" Kirito said
"It looks about half the size. Does that mean we need another half?" Asuna said
"Guys, guys! I can see a journal over there!" Leafa said
"Good eye, Leafa! I'm sure we can find a hint in there. It's pretty old, but it looks legible." Kirito said
"Listen up, I'm going to read it." Sinon said
Sinon put's on her glasses and start's reading.
"Day XX, Month XX, Year XXXX. No no no no no no! No! I broke the stone tablet my family had protected for generations! Day YY, Month YY, Year YYYY. The Wyvern stole one of the two halves of the tablet! I can't let anyone find out. I'm taking this secret to my grave! Day ZZ, Month ZZ, Year ZZZZ. My end draws nigh, and still my darkest secret remains buried. Still, I wish only that someone would find the missing piece and restore my family's heirloom."
"That was the last entry. So the tablet has been split into two." Sinon said
"That escalated very quickly." Sonic said
"Wyvern. That's a kind of monster, right?" Asuna said
"Yeah. Sounds like we can find the other piece of this tablet if we find this Wyvern. Yui, any idea where to look?" Kirito said
"It appears that the Wyvern lives on another floating island to the north of here." Yui said
"Then that's our next destination!" Kirito said
"To the island in the north!" Leafa said
The five of them started flying to the north of the island.
"Hey Asuna, just when did you and Sinon start getting along? And what's the deal with you calling her "Sinonon?" Kirito said
"So it wasn't long after Sinonon joined us in SAO." Asuna said
"I was pretty down at that time. I couldn't accept what was happening to me, and mostly stayed locked in my room. But then Asuna barged in and pulled me out. She kept saying "Sinonon!" It was honestly pretty annoying at first. But when I saw Asuna standing firm against adversity, I realized that I had to be strong just liker her." Sinon said
"Oh, I see. Hey, so is it cool if I call you Sinonon, too?" Kirito said
"Daddy, that's islamd we're looking for!" Yui said
"All right! We'll be there in no time!" Kirito said
*At The Floating Island*
"So this is the floating island that journal mentioned. I wonder where we can find this Wyvern thing." Kirito said
"Kirto! Over there!" Asuna yelled
Three dragons were floating over them.
"Yikes! The boss, already?!" Kirito said
"If we defeat this thing, we'll get the other half of the stone tablet!" Leafa said
"All right everyone, let's do this!" Kirito sais
"Defeating this boss will complete your quest. Please try your best!" Yui said
The five of them started attacking the bosses. Sonic and Kirito were fighting the first one. Leafa and Asuna were fighting the second one while Sinon the third one by herself. Kirito and Sonc did lots of combos at the dragon including Asuna and Leafa. Sinon fired a arrow at the dragon. The arrow hit's the dragon's head. She fire's three at once as they hit the head as well. The dragon disapper's in thin-air. Kirito and Sonic both slash threw the dragon cutting it in half. The dragon disapper's in thin-air. Leafa and Asuna both slash the dragon's neck in half. The dragon disapper's thin-air.
*Quest Clear*
"We did it!" Leafa cried out
"Great work, you guys!" Asuna said
"Yay! We won!'" Yui said
"And we got our hans on the missing half of the tablet." Kirito said
"We should be able to open that door now." Asuna said
"And finally get into that dungeon." Sinon said
"Let's see what's inside the dungeon." Sonic said
"I can't wait to get started." Leafa said
"Me either. Let's go!" Kirito said
The five of them started flying to the closed door.
"I can see some other players over there. I guess a few other parties already made it this far as well." Asuna said
"They look familiar. Are they the ones we saw at the farm earlier?" Leafa said
*At The Closed Door Of The Dungeon*
"Hmm?"
"Hey, how's it going? I think we're working on the same quest. Everything going all right on your end?" Kirito said
"Yup. We beat the Wyvern before you guys, and we're going to finish this quest before you too!" The player said
"Hahaha, well we won't make it easy for you! Race to the finish line?" Kirito said
"Heh, we'll see about that. I doubt you'll be able to keep up!" The player said
"Are you sure about that?" Sonic said
"You're pretty confident. Are you a membr of a powerful guild?" Kirito said
"That's right! We're the-"
"Come on, we're leaving!"
"Yeah! Be right there! See you guys around."
"See you."
The two of the players run away.
"They were confident, but they had the skills to back it up." Sinon said
"I caught a glimpse of them while they were fighting. They definitely know their stuff." Kirito said
"There's no reason to rise to their challenge. But at the same time, I don't want to lose to them, either." Sinon said
"Games can be fun in and of themselves, but the best part of them is being the best!" Kirito said
"Then let's get ready and go! The dungeon is waiting for us!" Asuna said
"Yeah!"
"(Competing against other players has to be my favorite part of a VRMMO. I wanted to feel the rush I get from competition again. That's the real reason why I decided to start uo ALO. It was a few months ago that I finally made up my mind to full-dive again..)"
*Pass*
"Hey gals and guy! Sorry to keep you waiting. My boss grabbed me, and I just couldn't get loose." Kikuoka said
"Seijirou Kikuoka, with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and leader of the office formed to hell SAO victims. Asuna, Suguha, and I were all called to his office to meet him.)"
"What's that you're reading? Something about that idol, Seven? I'm rather interested in her myself." Kikuoka sakd
"Didn't you call us here to talk about SAO?" Kazuto said
"Now, now. All in due time. I lover her music. She's got a cute voice, her songs are fairly well-made, and she's quite popular in many circles. One time, a player got a chance to sing along with her during one of her concerts and crowd went wild." Kikuoka said
"(That player was in fact, Sonic The Hedgehog.)"
"And apparently she's more than just a pretty voice. I did some investigating, and her popularity is quite justified. She sings against the horrors we experienced in SAO-a message of peace. And to top it off, she's very pretty." Kazuto said
"Aha. So that's the kind of girl that stirs your fancy, Kazuto?" Sugu said
"N-No! I'm just realting what the public is saying about her!" Kazuto said
"So you kids are interested in her too." Kikuoka said
"... I... I'm thinking about logging on to ALO." Kazuto said
"What?!"
"I figure that's how you'd react. But think about it. ALO was made by copying SAO's servers, then creating a new world. Add to that all those new features, like flight... No other game has got hotter buzz about it right now! Not even close!" Kazuto said
"I... Yeah, I see tour point. I think so too." Sugu said
"Besides, nobodt can stop me from liking what I like! Asuna! You want to give it a shot too, right? It's all you've talled about recently!' Kazuto said
"Ah... Ahahah. Was it that obvious?" Asuna said
"Heehee. I was thinking about asking you two if you wanted to try ALO, myself." Sugu said
"Huh, maybe I didn't even need to bring you all in today." Kikuoka said
"Did you say something?" Kazuto said
"No, not at all. More importantly though, Kirito, aren't you afraid to dive back into a virtual world?" Kikuoka said
"I am."
"(There was terrifying things in SAO, but despite them, or maybe because of them, our time there was meaningful. After what happened, I want to see how VR evolves. I want to see where this that came from SAO leads.)"
"I'll be with you, Kirito." Asuna said
"Asuna..."
"I'm the ALO veteran here! I would be a terrible person if I didn't teach you guys the basics!" Sugu said
"Then it's settled! We're going to play ALO!" Kirito said
"Yeah!'
"(And that's how we wound up heaidng into the world of ALO.)"
*Present*
"Waaa!""
"Look! Those people are getting whomped! Let's go help them!" Leafa said
"Yeah! Come on!" Kirito said
"Help us, pleeeease!"
"Rrrraaaaaa!"
Kirito stun's the enemy.
"I've stunned it! Let's get out of here before it recovers!" Kirito said
"G-Good idea!"
*Minutes Later*
"Phew, we made it! Are you all right?" Kirito said
"Yeah. Thnaks. That monster was really powerful, and it appeared out of nowhere. We were in real trouble until you showed up."
"That thing was a mid-boss. Anyone would be in a bind if something like that suddenly jumped out at them." Kirito said
"Yeah. Looks like our party needs some more backup before we can tackle this dungeon."
"Say, you guys wouldn't be interested in helping us, would you?"
"That thing was lurking near the entrance to the dungeon. I don't think we'll be able to get in unless we take it out." Asuna said
"You don't say Asuna. You don't say..." Sonic whisper's
"Good point, Asuna. We'll help. Let's work together to beat that thing!" Kirito said
"All right! With you having our back, we have nothing to fear!"
"Glad to fight by your side!" Kirito said
The enemy recovers. Kirito and Sonic both run towards the enemy. The two start attacking it with heavy attacks. Sinon was shooting arrows from a distance. Sonic jump's and slashes the enemy's neck dealing massive damage.
"Good job, Brother! It's half way done!" Yui said
Kirito cut's threw the enemy in half that dealed massive damage.
"One more attack and it's done."
"Finish it Sinon!" Sonic said
Sonic and Kirito both jumped outta the way. Sinon fire's two arrows at the enemy. The arrows hit the enemy's eyes. The enemy disappered in thin-air.
*Quest Clear*
*After The Quest*
"We did it! You guys are really strong! This isn't much, but of it as a thanks for saving us back there."
"We're going to head back to town and do some preparations of out own before tackling this dungeon. See you around!"
The two players flew away.
*Seconds Later*
"We've finally made it back." Asuna said
"All we have to do now is insert that stone tablet." Kirito said
They put the stone tablet inside the hole. Once it was put in, The large door started opening up.
"Hey, it opened! Now we can finally get inside!" Leafa said
"I can't wait to see what rare items we'll find here!" Asuna said
"Agreed. Let's go." Sinon said
"It's time to do some dungeon delving!" Kirito said
"To the dungeon!" Sonic said
The five of them enter the dungeon.
*Hymir's Cavern*
The five of them continued running. They turned a left to see a bat like enemy. Sonic homing attack's it. The enemy disappered in thin-air. They continued running. They turn right and continue running. They turn anothe right to see a chest. Sonic opened it to get a Key. A Key to the Sea. They ran towards the locked door.
"I think the boss is just past here. Let's do this!" Kirito said
"I'm ready. Let's show it what we're made of!" Asuna said
"Do it Sonic!" Kirito said
"On it!" Sonic said
Sonic put's the key inside the lock and turn's it. The door opened up. Inside, was the boss with two other helpers. Sonic and Kirito charged at the boss while Leafa, Sinon, and Asuna were attacking the smaller ones.
"Time for a speical attack!" Kirito said
"It's time!" Sonic said
The two did their special attacks at the same time as the boss dealing so much damage. After they did heir speicals, the enemy disappered in thin along with the smaller ones.
*Quest Clear*
The door opened up again. The five of them run back outside.
*Outside*
"Whew! It wasn't easy, but we did it!" Leafa tired
"Great job, everyone!" Yui said
"That's that. One quest finished!" Asuna said
"Look at this. That boss dropped something!" Sinon said
"Whoa! A rare item!" Kirito said
"I never seen that before!" Sonic said
"How exciting! This dungeon was definitely worth it!" Leafa said
"How about going back to town and showing off?" Sinon said
"Hahaha. The other players will be so jealous." Asuna said
"We finished our quest, so I think it's about time to take a break. Let's head back to town." Kirito said
"I think I'm done for today." Sonic said
"Good idea. I'm pretty tired after all that." Asuna said
"Yeah, I could definitely put my feet up for a bit." Leafa said
The five of them start running back to the entrance of the dungeon.
"That was so much fun! So just to make sure, every area we clear will unlock a new one, right?" Leafa said
"That's right. Defeating the boss of one area will allow you to access the next." Yui said
"This is going to be awesome! Let's keep pushing foward!" Kirito said
"It was hardly a match for me." Sinon said
"I fought tuffer eneimes. This one was easy as always." Sonic said
They see the light outside the dungeon. They run towards it as they leave the dungeon.
"(Although I couldn't use my SAO avatar in ALO, I was able to transfer a number of my abilities and stats. I trained as a swordsman in SAO. Now that I'm getting used to it here, my skills are coming back to me. With Leafa's expert guidance, Asuna and I are getting much better. Not to mention having a blast! Having good friends like this playing with you, sharing these moments in-game. It feels like SAO again. But the longest and best friend I had was Sonic... Sonic the Hedgehog. He love's adventures and never back's down from a fight and does everything he can to protect me and his other friends from danger. We nickname him, 'The Wild Blue.' I also have a local backup of Yui and Strea on my Nerve, so I'll always have them with me as well. When I saw them again, I was so happy I almost cried. Shortly after I joined ALO, the number of news articles and websites talking about Seven kept growing, including Sonic. Sonic was getting popular after he sang with Seven. Everytime when Sonic's at a town alone, a group of people will gather around for photos and autographs.)"
"Powerful Guild Shamrock Led by World-Famous Idol Seven Now Has Over Five Hundred Members! including the player that sang with her! Only a Lucky Few Shamrock Memebers Able to Meet Seven in Person. Active ALO Players Skyrocket Due to Seven's Charm! Seven's Virtual Concert Dates in ALO Finally Set! Singer and Scientist? An Exclusive interview with Dr. Arshavin!"
"(Dr. Rainbow. Seven. She sounds like an interesting player. I would love to meet her just like Sonic. It's been months since then, and ALO's new update that I'd been waiting for, with new areas, finally launched.)"
