SAO: Suicidal Warrior
A/N: Hello, readers! This is Rwanime442 with a Sword Art Online Story, which is my favorite anime. I know I said I was going to release a Dangan Ronpa story next, but sorry to say, it's taking longer to make this story than I thought. I may have it out by the end of January.
Before I start the story, I'm gonna give you a profile of my OC.

One other thing before I start, I just realized I never did a disclaimer, never. So, here's the first; I don't own SAO or the characters except for my OC's. I wish I did though. If I did, I wouldn't have Sachi die. I still cry every time I hear her message to Kirito. *sobs*
"I'm home." A boy coming in through the door said. "Not like anyone cares..." He said. He had strawberry blonde hair and emerald green eyes. His name was Yukine Koizumi, fourteen years old. He normally wasn't excited about anything, but today was different. Today was the official release of the world's most anticipated game, the first VRMMORPG known as Sword Art Online. Last month he and 999 other players were randomly picked to beta test it. Since he was a beta tester, he received a copy in the mail for free. He couldn't wait any longer to play it. He went upstairs to his room, connected his Nervegear to the internet and installed the SAO cartridge into it. He also attached his MP3 to it so he could listen to music while he's playing.
Yukine never had many happy moments in his life. He was never really loved by his parents. They would force him to study non-stop, and beat him when he never got good grades at school. He never had any friends, either. He would constantly be bullied at school. He hated reality. His only escape was his music and gaming. They didn't care what music he listened to, but he was strictly forbidden from games. He would play them behind their backs, like when they weren't home or were asleep.
He lied down in his bed and put the nervegear on his head. He logged into his old beta account, using his usual online name, Yoshitsune, and said, "Link start!"
He was then surrounded by colorful pixels and a blinding light. When the light faded, he found himself in a retangular area. He assumed it was town square. His avatar was about the same height as him, long silver hair, a purple tunic, a leather chestguard, black trousers, and brown boots. "Wow, this is even better than I remembered..." He mused to himself. His surroundings looked realistic, he could feel his hands, and could smell the air.
"It's good to be back." He said with a smirk.
"Hey, is that you, Yoshitsune?" A voice from behind him said. He turned around to see two guys. One guy had black hair and black eyes, a blue tunic, leather chestguard, and black trousers. The other one had long red and black eyes, had a bandana on his forehead, a white tunic, black leather chestguard, and brown trousers.
"Heh, I figured you'd be here, Kirito." Yoshitsune said.
"I could say the same thing about you." The boy named Kirito said with a smirk.
"You a beta tester, too?" The unfamiliar guy asked.
He nodded. "Yoshitsune." He simply said.
"Oh, I'm Klein, nice to meet you, too." The guy name Klein said. "He's not into introductions much, is he?" He asked, whispering to Kirito.
"Pretty much." The black hair boy answered.
"I'm showing this guy here the ropes, want to come along with us?" Kirito asked.
Yoshitsune shrugged. "Why not." He said. He accepted Kirito's party request and the three went to the fields.
A few minutes later
"Ohh!" Klein yelled as he was hit by a boar and comically fell on his butt. "This guy's pretty tough." He said.
"Not really. Frenzy Boars are one of the weakest monster in SAO. Their perimeters are equilivant to slimes." Kirito said.
"Are you kidding me?! I thought that was a mid-level boss or something." Klein said.
"There's a simple way to defeat them." Yoshitsune said.
"You mean one of those sword skills?" He asked.
He nodded, and then walked to one of the Frenzy Boars. "Watch." He then activated the skill Vertical. His katana glowed red and he delivered a vertical slash to the boar's body, cutting it's HP in half and also stunning it.
"That was cool! Will you show me?" Klein asked excitedly.
Yoshitsune sighed and showed Klein how to do it step by step.
"Alright, I got this." He got into his stance. His katana started glowing red and he delivered a Vertical to the boar, taking out its remaining HP. It then fell to the ground and exploded into blue pixels.
"I did it! This game is awesome!" Klein was as giddy as a school girl.
This guy may be a beginner, but he learns quickly. He'll be a really good player someday. He thought to himself.
"Thanks a lot for teaching me, guys, but I gotta log out. I got a pizza that's supposed to be delivered to my house at 5:30." He opened up his menu, but couldn't find the log out button.
"Hey, guys, where's the log out button?" He asked.
"It should be under options." Kirito said.
"I checked options, but it's not there." Klein said.
Yoshitsune and Kirito both opened their menus to see if he was telling the truth. He was. Log out wasn't under options, in fact, it wasn't anywhere on the menu!
"There really is no log out button. What the hell?" Yoshitsune said.
"Do you think it's some kind of bug or something?" Klein asked.
"I sure hope so." Kirito said.
Just as he said that, there was an ominous ringing coming from the Town of Beginnings and a blue light started surrounding the three.
"What the hell's going on?!" Klein yelled.
"I think it's a forced teleportation!" Kirito said.
The three then suddenly appeared in town square. They weren't the only ones though, every other player was there, too.
"Is every player here?" Klein asked.
"Looks like it." Kirito replied.
Something about this situation really made Yoshitsune really nervous.
"Look up there!" A player yelled.
Everyone looked up in the sky to see a bunch of messages saying -Warning-, and -System Announcement-.
"Something's coming." Yoshitsune muttered.
The message signs opened up and a blood like substance oozed out of the them. The substance then took the form of a hooded man with no face.
"Is that the game master?" Yoshitsune asked.
After a few moments of disturbing silence, the hooded man spoke. "Greetings players. My name is Akihiko Kayaba, and I'm the only one with full control of this world."
Akihiko Kayaba? Isn't that the guy that created SAO and the Nervegear? Yoshitsune thought to himself.
"I'm sure most of have noticed by now that the log out button is missing. I assure this not a defect. It is one of the features of Sword Art Online. You cannot log out on your own, the only to to escape is to clear the game."
"W-What?! That's impossible! I heard the beta testers couldn't even make it to Floor 10!" Klein yelled, panicking.
"You cannot remove the Nervegear on your own, nor can someone else on the outside. Should this be attempted, a sensor inside your Nervegear will activate microwave beam will burn your brain, ending your life. Sadly, this has been attempted, thus 213 players have retired forever."
"W-What the hell is he talking about? The Nervegear can't do that!" Klein said.
Actually, the Nervegear runs on microwaves. If the safety is disabled, it could do that." Kirito said.
"N-No way..."
"Also, there is no any means to revive someone. If your HP is reduced to 0, your avatar will be deleted forever and Nervegear will end your life. As I said, the only way to escape the game is to defeat the floor on on Floor 100. There is a floor boss on each floor, including here, Floor 1."
Yoshitsune couldn't believe what he was hearing. Why would Akihiko Kayaba do something like this.
"You must be wondering why, I, Akihiko Kayaba would do something like this. Well, my goal has already been achieved. There's one last thing. I have left you all an item in your inventory. Please take it out."
Yoshitsune opened his menu to see a mirror in his inventory. "You guys get a mirror, too?" He asked.
"Yeah, we all did." Kirito said.
As soon as Yoshitsune touched it, he was surrounded by a blinding light. When his vision cleared, he was shocked by what he saw in the mirror, it was his appearance in the real world! "What the hell is this?" He asked.
"Who are you guys?!" Klein's voiced asked, panicked. Yoshitsune looked at the guys to see they looked different as well. Kirito looked around his age, he had black hair, but it was styled differently, he still had black eyes, but they were bigger. His face looked suprinsingly feminine. Klein looked like he was in his early twenties. He had short red hair and a goatee.
"I'm Kirito, is that you Klein?!" Kirito asked.
"Yeah, it's me. You look a lot different, too, Yoshitsune." Klein said.
"How is something like this possible?" Kirito asked, shocked.
"I think it might have something to do with the Nervegear asking us to touch each of our limbs." Klein said.
"So, then it must have scanned our real world appearance." Yoshitsune said.
"Now then, I wish you all good luck in clearing the game." Kayaba said, then disappeared.
After he disappeared, all hell broke loose. Players were screaming, begging Kayaba to let them out, others were repeatedly tapping the empty space where the log out button should've been on their menus, and others were running out to the field to grind.
Yoshitsune didn't know what to do. He only wanted to play this game so he could escape reality. This death game was now his reality.
"Hey, Yoshitsune, you coming?" Klein asked him.
"Leave me alone." He said. He then opened up his menu and disbanded the party. He then walked away from the two, walking out to the field.
I don't care if this game kills me, I'm not going run with my tail between my legs! He thought, while charging at a pack of wolves.
