A/N: Hello all, it's time for another Musashi installment. This time, I will be crossing over Mew Mew Power with the most popular light novel series and possibly anime series, Sword Art Online. This fanfic will be based on SAO's spinoff games, Sword Art Online: Infinity Moment and the updated version of the game, Hollow Fragment. Take note that this fanfic will be slightly AU due to some of the anime shows I will be putting in, Infinite Stratos and Full Metal Panic, so the characters from those anime shows will live in Zoey and Kirito's universe along with the other anime I listed on my blog, only the two anime's settlings like ISes and Armed Slaves don't exist in this AU fanfic. Okay, enough rambling from me. Let's start the fanfic right now.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sword Art Online, the honorable Reki Kawahara does, Mew Mew Power which is created by Reiko Yoshida or any other anime I put in this fic. Please support the disclaimer.
Prologue
(Zoey's POV)
'How long has it been since I was trapped in this game? Two years, maybe?
It all started when my best friends at Cafe Mew Mew suggested that I try out Sword Art Online, an upcoming highly anticipated MMORPG that was coming out on November 6, 2022. My friends stated they can't try out the game since they're too busy for school, jobs and fighting the Cyniclons, but hey, I will try out this game and tell them my experiences… at least I thought I would say to them until that incident happened.
When I was playing the game after it was released using my created avatar, I was immediately warped to the place where I started my gaming journey along with possibly tens of thousands of players. It was then, He showed up…
The creator of Sword Art Online, Akihito Kayaba has removed the log out feature from the game and announced his little death game… If we can beat the final boss at the 100th floor, we can be freed from this nightmare. However, there was a catch…
If we die in the game or we remove our Nerve Gears, virtual reality helmets that transport our minds into the game, it will release a powerful electromagnetic pulse which will fry our brains, killing us. The nerve of that Akihito!
And to makes things even more complicated, our avatars were turned into our real world selves. And then, Akihito disappeared for now. And thus my journey begin which spanned two years.
I was Level 95 and reached the 75th floor with a raid party. I have gotten good armor and a strong sword during my two year imprisonment inside this game. We were about to meet up with the Knights of the Blood, a guild that is gaining popularity and some say they may be the ones who will free us all. But then, something strange happen… A glitch happened. The glitch knocked me and my raid party out for about an hour… And then…
Chapter 1: The Black Swordsman and the Pink Cat: Reunions and Meetings
A 15 year old girl with reddish pink hair who wore a pink chest plate that exposes a bit of her cleavage, white gauntlets with red rubies embedded in them, a white skirt made with the finest cloth of perhaps this game, silver high heeled boots with blue lines on them, a red scarf around her neck and a claymore with a red hilt and symbol of a cat on the blade sheathed on her back was groaning as she struggled to get up. After a few seconds of trying, she finally rose up from the ground.
Still dazed from who knows what, she looked around her surroundings. She sees some players on the ground, unconscious, but they are slowly waking up. They were in a purple cave like area. This is the 75th floor of Aincard, the world of Sword Art Online.
"What just happened?" The girl murmured to herself as she placed her hand on her head to ease the pain. This is none other than the junior high school girl and leader of the Mew Mews, Zoey Hanson. While trying to think about what happened so far, a spark occurs in her mind, jump starting her memory.
'Now I remember… We were about to join the Knights of the Blood on defeating the boss of the 75th floor. Just as we were about to join them… that glitch appeared…" Zoey placed her pinky on her chin and wondered where the glitch came from.
Suddenly, she noticed one of her raid companions struggling to get up. A 16 year old girl with white hair, wore a typical white Priest robe with a hood with some symbols on it, brown pants and shoes and wielding a white rod with a green jewel using the rod to help herself up.
Zoey gasped. "Sonya!" She rushed up to her raid companion. "You alright?!"
"Y-Yeah…" Sonya nodded as she and her raid companion watched their fellow raid members getting up finally and looked around. "What just happened?"
"A glitch happened… Though I don't know where it originated from." Zoey has a serious expression as she begin to ponder those things.
It was then, a boy ran up to Zoey's raid party.
He was a teenage boy, clad in clothes black as his hair. Black pants, a black belt with a large silver buckle, a black V-necked shirt that was worn underneath a black trench-coat with gray lines going down the sleeves and black boots with silver plates to protect his shins made him look like a medieval knight from the modern era. He wore a silver plate on the left side of his coat and a pair of black fingerless gloves. A strap went over and then under his right shoulder to wrap around his left side. He carried two swords on his back, one green and one black.
He noticed the raid party struggling to get up. "Hey! Everyone alright?" He asked in concern.
"Y-Yeah… We're alright…" Zoey nodded slowly before eying the black wearing boy. "Hey… Come to think of it, I seen you before…"
The boy closed his eyes and smiled nervously while a sweat drop formed behind his head. "Uh, yeah. I'm sure you heard of me during your trip here."
"You're Kirito, right? The Black Swordsman?" Zoey smiled as she crossed her arms and looked at Kirito with a look of admiration.
"No way!" Sonya's eyes widen like dinner plates. "The newest recruit for the Knights of the Blood? I heard you managed to never let a single party member die during raids before you joined that guild. Well, there are some that died while you were in parties…"
"That's my motto." Kirito nodded. "I won't let a single party member die. I let some die because of me, but I won't make the same mistake ever again."
"Hey Kirito?" Zoey began pressing this famous player for some answers. "Do you mind telling us what happened here?" Kirito nodded and began explaining.
'Kirito told me a lot: About how Heathcliff, the leader of the Knights of the Blood was really Akihito Kayaba, the evil and deranged creator of Sword Art Online, how Kirito deduced he was posing as a player, how he told Kirito and his friends that we can be freed from this virtual prison if we beat him, and how Kirito managed to defeat Heathcliff after the glitch occurred…' Zoey narrated.
"So Heathcliff was really the creator of this hell we have been through for the past two years?!" A male member of Zoey's raid party growled angrily, he was a spearman,
"Yeah…" Kirito nodded slowly.
"And you said you beat him, right Kirito? Then we should be able to log out now." Zoey grinned, finally a chance to go home! She checked her in game menu and frowned as she sees the logout option still grayed out. "Poo, just as I hope we can head back to reality…"
"Wait, didn't you defeat Kayaba? So why aren't we freed yet?!" Sonya was starting to panic, so were the rest of Zoey's raid party.
"I… guess we need to get to the 100th floor and beat the final boss in order to be free for real…" Kirito rubbed the back of his head in a nervous tone.
And then, a 17 year old girl with orange-brownish chestnut hair, hazel eyes and wore a red and white uniform walking up to the group.
"Kirito-kun, are we heading to the next floor?" The girl asked him, before noticing Zoey and her raid party. "Oh? Who are you?"
"I'm Zoey. And you are?" Zoey extended her hand for a handshake while smiling.
"I'm Asuna, Kirito-kun's wife. It's nice to meet you, Zoey." Asuna closed her eyes and smiled while shaking Zoey's hand.
"Eh?" Zoey has the white dotted eye look before turning to Kirito and asked him "She's your wife? I know this game has a marriage system and all, but I thought people at either the age of 25 or something can be wedded in either MMORPGs or in real life. You two are awfully young to be husband and wife."
Kirito chuckled nervously while closing his eyes. "Well, we're married in this game. Say, Zoey? Why don't you and your raid party come with us to the next floor?"
"Sure. What about you guys?" Zoey smiled at her raid party, they nodded in agreement in about 30 seconds. Then another teenage man ran up to Kirito, Asuna, Zoey and their friends.
He was about 24 years old, has red hair with a red bandanna and wore red robes and black armor resembling those of a samurai including a katana. His facial features include a thin chin strip, thin eyebrows, a sharp nose, and a pair of gentle eyes.
"Oi, Kirito. You ready to head out?" The red bandana man asked Kirito. He noticed Zoey and her raid party. "Oh, you must be one of the raid parties?"
"I'm their leader, Zoey. I was informed that Kirito managed to beat Kayaba, but we still cannot log out." Zoey extended her hand for a handshake.
"Name's Klein, leader of Fuurinkazan. Kirito and I happen to know each other before this whole hell started." Klein shook her hand.
"Right. Looks like we have to journey up to the 100th floor in order to get out of here…" Zoey sighed before shaking her head with a smile. "Shall we?"
'And so we entered the 76th floor, but after we emerged from the 75th floor, we noticed something wrong…' Zoey narrated.
Zoey, her raid party and internet friends, Kirito, Asuna, Klein and a massive 29 year old black, bald man with a brown goatee, wearing green armor and has two silver earrings on his left ear looking at the field with determination. His name is Agil and he is from Africa but moved to Japan with his wife before he got trapped in the online game.
It was then, Zoey checked out her items and blinked in surprise. "H-Hey! My items' names are gabled up!"
"Nani?!" Kirito and his friends, including Zoey's raid party friends looked at her with wide eyes before checking out their items. She was telling the truth. The items' names are all gibberish.
"H-Hey! That's not all!" Klein interjected, worry evident on his features. "My skills have been reseted!" Kirito and Zoey knew by the worried concern on themselves and their friends that their skills have also been reseted.
"Hmm… This is bad. Maybe that glitch caused it?" Agil theorized as he scratched his goatee in thought. It was strange indeed, Heathcl- no, Kayaba was defeated, but why are they still trapped in the game?
Asuna stepped up with the look of a leader leading her people through hard times. "The point is we need to keep moving forward and get to the 100th floor. Maybe we will find the answers there?"
"You're right, Asuna." Kirito smiled as he hold her hand and kissed it gently, causing Asuna to smile and blush. "We will get through this. We won't die and we won't let any party member or player die in this game."
"You're a good leader, Kirito. Maybe that's why everyone is talking about you." Zoey admired Kirito's leadership skills as well as Asuna's. "Since Kayaba is gone, maybe you like to form a guild with me? To be honest, I haven't started a guild yet."
"Our own guild…" Kirito mused as he pondered if he should form a guild with someone he barely met on the 75th floor.
"Hey, hey." Klein grinned mischievously as he got Kirito into a playful headlock. "We can talk about Kirito and Zoey's guild later, aye? Right now, we need to get to town."
"Right." Everyone nodded in agreement as they head towards the town of the 76th floor.
(20 minutes later…)
"Thanks for the help, Sonya." Zoey bowed her head lightly.
"Anytime. Call me if you need me. We're friends, remember?" Sonya closed her eyes, smiled and left to rest at Agil's inn.
Zoey turned to Kirito and Asuna with a cheery glance and asked "So, what's the story between you two love birds? There has to be a reason why you two are husband and wife in this game. It can't be a coincidence."
Before Kirito and Asuna can answer that, Asuna noticed something glowing in Kirito's item bag. "Kirito-kun? One of your items is glowing. Though, it's hard to tell which one it is due to the name corruption."
"Eh?" Kirito checked through his items and saw the one that is glowing. He picked it up, Zoey looked at the strange item and wondered what it is. The item then glowed brighter than before, surprising Zoey, Kirito and Asuna. The item turned into a glowing white ball that flew away from Kirito's palm, itches away from the three and landed on the ground, turning into a little girl.
The girl was perhaps 5 years old, has black shoulder length hair and wore a white dress with no shoes. She opened her eyes and looked around.
The girl yawned and said "Phew! I finally got out!"
Kirito and Asuna's eyes widen in shock as they recognized this girl. "Yu, Yui?!" They both shouted in surprise at the same time.
The girl now identified as Yui adverted her gaze on Kirito and Asuna with a happy expression and ran up to hug both of them. "Papa! Mama! It's been a long time!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Zoey interrupted as she waved her arms up and down frantically. "This kid who appeared out of nowhere is your daughter?! What the heck is going on around here?!"
"It's…" Kirito looked away rather shyly, Asuna did the same thing. "…kinda hard to explain." But Kirito and Asuna explained it to Zoey slowly.
'I just learned that Yui is Kirito and Asuna's in-game daughter who is also part of SAO's MHCP or Mental Health Consoling Programs, meaning she is an AI. Still, I can't believe Kirito and Asuna have an in-game daughter in this game. This game is really freaking me out…' Zoey narrated.
(One hour has passed since Zoey met Yui)
While Zoey, Kirito and Asuna were discussing the malfunction of the teleport gate, a 17 year girl with fluffy pink hair with a white hairpin to keep her bangs out of her eyes, wearing a dark red top with puffed sleeves and a flared skirt of the same color as well as a pure white apron over that and a red ribbon atop her chest walked up to the three, panting out of breath.
"That's great. The both of you are ok." The pinkette sighed in relief before smiling at them, well… Kirito and Asuna.
Asuna was surprised by this girl's appearance. "Lis?! Why are you here?!"
Lis frowned as she crossed her arms and muttered "Why am I here… Isn't there another way of saying it?"
Asuna has a sweat drop forming on her head. "Eh, Lis… Listen to me very calmly. …Actually, you cannot return to floors lower than Floor 75."
Lis has a question mark above her head when Asuna explained the situation to her.
A few seconds later, she got near the teleport gate and shouted "Teleport! Lindas!" She disappeared in a flash of light before reappearing in front of Kirito, Asuna and Zoey. She smiled in relief and told them "Phew, don't scare me like that. It's working alright…?" It was before Lis found out she is still in the settlement of the 76th floor. "Here is…?"
"…This is what happens. We can't return to the lower Floors." Asuna stated in a dull tone.
"My…My…" Lis has anime tears falling out of her eyes. "Lisbeth's Smith Shop is…"
"I know it's hard to accept you can't go back to the lower floors, but look on the bright side." Zoey piped up, trying to cheer up Lis. "At least there are rare ores on this floor and other floors higher than this one. And I still need to repay you for helping me gain my Caliburn (A/N: Yes, I am using the name seen in Sonic and the Black Knight) the other day." She gestures to her sword named the Caliburn on her back.
Lis sniffled and nodded slowly. "I-If you say so…"
(The next day, in a field…)
Zoey and Kirito were partying together and fighting monsters on Floor 76 outside of the settlement. It was then a blue dragon like creature flew up to Kirito, as a way of greeting him.
Kirito immediately recognized the cute furball dragon. "P-Pina?! Is that you?"
"Pina?" Zoey looked at him oddly before a 14 year old girl with brown hair in twin ponytails held together by two red ribbon like balls and wearing red armor ran up to the two.
"Kirito-kun! I'm so glad you're alright." The girl closed her eyes and smiled.
"H-Hey, Silica." Kirito smiled softly as he patted her on the head.
"You know her, Kirito?" Zoey asked him with a kind smile.
"Kirito-kun helped me revive my pet dragon once and defeated a mean former party member of mine and arrested her. So he's like a big brother to me." Silica explained how she met Kirito the first time during the two year imprisonment inside SAO.
"You're really popular with the ladies, Kirito…" Zoey has a bored smile look on her face.
"Shhh!" Kirito whispered harshly to her.
"Kirito-kun, is it true that we can't return to the lower floors and are still trapped inside this game?" Silica looked at him, worry advent on her features.
"Yeah…" Kirito nodded slowly. "But we'll get through this. We have to push through."
"Okay!" Silica closed her eyes and smiled again, Pina landed on her head and looked at Zoey with a curious glance.
'I have no idea that Kirito is popular with the ladies in this game… It's like something out of a harem anime or novel where the guy is a honest and non-perverted gentleman who girls quickly fall in love with. Kirito is not my type anyway, if I did fall for him, Asuna would be mad at me for stealing her man.' Zoey narrated. 'But then, the next day… Me, Kirito, Asuna, Yui, Lis and Silica were finally discussing the name of our guild. It took awhile, but Kirito finally wanted to start our own guild.'
"How about Knights of the Round Table?" Kirito suggested, the gang were discussing the name of their guild in the square.
"Nah, it's been already taken." Lis shook her head no before giving out her suggestion. "How about the Lis Brigade?"
"Too lame." Asuna frowned before turning to Silica with a smile. "Do you have any suggestions, Silica?"
"Um…" Silica pressed her fingers nervously. "N-No. I have never joined a guild in my entire life."
"How about the Iriomote Mountain Lions?" Zoey suggested, all eyes turned to her.
"What makes you say that, Zoey?" Kirito asked her, eyebrows raised.
"Well, they're Red Data Animals in the real world, right? And they're endangered. So like in this game, we're endangered and our motto is 'Dying is not an option.' And we're fierce like lions. So I figure the Iriomote Mountain Lions are a great name for our guild. And this guild's goal is to beat the game. Me, Kirito and Asuna can be guild masters and Lis and Silica can be our guild members. What do you say?" Zoey smiled.
"An excellent name." A voice said. Confused, Zoey and her new friends and soon to be guild members turned around and saw someone that Zoey recognized.
"E-Elliot?!"
To be continued…
