Chapter 1:
New World, New Life
"Finally after a month of hard labor we each have gotten enough money to get nerve gears for each of us. can't wait to kick your ass Akatsuki." a young female voice says eagerly. "Yeah, it's been well worth all that work, though." Akatsuki replied, as they walked down there home street, "Aw yeah I can't wait for this! it's going to be awesome!" a younger male voice replies with excitement. "I also used some leftover tips to get groceries for a month." The female voice says holding a large box. "Look at it this way in about an hour, we'll be in a different reality. I don't know about you Taname, and Pokuro, but I'm hyped for tonight." Akatsuki said as he looked at the back cover of the game box, "same here. who knows what we may encounter in game." Taname says peeking at the game box Akatsuki is holding. "Probably the usual stuff, I'm just wondering how the hell the game mechanics are going to work." Pokuro replies as he looks at the back of the nerve gear box. "Well, one thing's for sure if there's one thing I learned from games is don't attack a chicken." Akatsuki replied as he laughed a bit "Will you quit with that chicken thing. just because shit went south in the Legend of Link series doesn't mean it's gonna happen in this game." Taname says rolling her eyes. "Its Legend of Zelda! plus, don't forget skyrim." Pokuro says with a glint in his eye. "Okay it should be called Legend of Link because it focuses completely on link and not Zelda…" Taname says in an argumentative manner but is cut off by Akatsuki, "Who cares what the name of the game is, Shigeru Miyamoto named it what he did, so let's just stop it there and say it was an awesome game." Akatsuki replied, as they stop at a street corner. "Whatever. (under her breath) Jackass." Taname says turning to her house on the opposite corner. "hehe, alright" Pokuro says with a smirk in his face. "Well that's that. Now let's all meet up at the town square in say one hour, and start our fun." Akatsuki said as he took off running towards his house, waving back at, Taname, and Pokuro. "Yeah I'll see you guys later tonight." Taname Yells out as she hops over her fence. "See yak guys!" Pokuro yells at the air and keeps walking towards his house, "oh wait a minute…." Pokuro starts running home.
ONE HOUR LATER
"So this is what the in game world looks like huh…...it's pretty at least. now where are those two jackasses at we were supposed to meet at the town square?" Taname says standing there in Light metal armor. Looking around she spots Pokuro standing in a corner. "Wait a bloody second! is that idiot really enamored by the fucking menu." Taname walks over and smacks Pokuro in the back of the head. "Ouch! oh hey Taname! have you seen this menu thing? it's so cool!" Pokuro says in an excited manner. Taname face palms as she speaks. "Yes I have and I can't believe you have that short an attention span as to get so enamored by that small menu.". "well it's not THAT small…. anyway, where's Akatsuki?" he says with a hint of curiosity. "Knowing that idiot he is off getting his ass kicked somewhere by some low level slime. whelp let's go find his ass." Taname says grabbing the collar of Pokuro's coat and drags him with her out of the town square. While Taname, and Pokuro are walking through the streets Pokuro gets a small notification for a message on his menu reading, "Outskirts of town, practicing with a buddy. Hurry the Hell up.". "Oh… Hey Taname, I know where Akatsuki is!" "then you had best tell me."Taname grits her teeth in irritation. "yep… he is… that way!" Pokuro says as he points out in a certain direction. "Then follow close or I'll drag your candy ass with me again." Taname says as she starts heading out in the direction Pokuro pointed with her great sword drawn. ' OK OK" Pokuro replies with his hands in the air.
Outskirts of Town of Beginnings
"Well my two friends, should be showing up anytime now." Akatsuki said as he took a seat on a nearby rock, "So what've you and your friends got planned for here tonight?" Klein asked looking back at Akatsuki. "Nothing too much, I think we were going to just run a few quests before we got off for the night. But then again with my other friends nothing would surprise me on what happens next." Akatsuki replied looking behind him as a rock flew past his head. "Well looks like they're here." Akatsuki spoke as he saw Taname and Pokuro walking up. "Well look at what we found. the lying little weasel who failed to show up at the meeting spot." Taname says with a look of insanity in her eyes. "Well in my defense I did wait around but nobody was there." Akatsuki said looking back at Taname, grinning. "Hi!" Pokuro waves at the two others. Taname swings her great sword at Akatsuki. As the sword came down Akatsuki rolled off to the side dodging the blade as it glanced off the rock, "Well, for starters, this would be Taname, and the other one back there would be Pokuro." Akatsuki said as he jumped to his feet from the ground. "how you doing there now if you'll excuse me I have pest to kill." She smiles then goes back to Insanity look while swinging at Akatsuki. "Guys can't we just get along?" Says with a smile on his face while muffling his laughter. "Yeah, I mean, have I ever told you the definition of Insanity…" Akatsuki Retorted as he dodged each slash as he stopped in front of Pokuro. "Nice" Pokuro says with a thumbs up. "NOW DIE YOU LITTLE SHIT!" Taname says as she swings her sword up from below his legs as Akatsuki quickly sidestepped to the side, as the look on Pokuro's face was that of horror. "FUUUUUUCK, CRITICAL HIT, YOU HIT THE WRONG ONE YOU BITCH!" Pokuro says as he promptly falls to his knees with a painful expression."Oops, sorry about that Pokuro. didn't see you there." Taname replies shyly. "You do know that you can't feel actual pain in the game right." Klein pointed out looking at Pokuro, who was lying on the ground. "oh, well, reflex I guess" Pokuro says as he stands up. "Well getting back to the real world. I actually have to go my sister has a kendo tournament in about an hour…." Taname says as she starts trying to log out. "what the fuck? where is the fucking log out selection?" Taname questions. "What? its right here, you sure you did it right, its right here… wait what?" Pokuro replies with a confused look "It was right here a few minutes ago". "Look at it this way worst case scenario, we're stuck here for a few hours longer than usual." Akatsuki said as he sat back down on the rock he was sitting on before. "Well it better not be much longer, I got a pizza getting delivered in a couple minutes." Klein replied frantically as he tried anything and everything to log out. In the distance back at the town the sound of bells could be heard ringing, as Akatsuki, Taname, Pokuro, and Klein began to glow as everyone was teleported back to the town square.
TOWN SQUARE
Back at the town square in the middle of town Bells were ringing, and as they rung players began to teleport back to the town square. As all the players had finally been teleported to the town square the sky turned a bright shade of red as a, figure in a red cloak appeared. "I welcome you all to the grand opening of SAO." The figure spoke, "As many of you have probably already noticed there is no log out button." The figure paused for a moment as everyone looked and saw there was no log out button, "I assure you this is no bug, but a feature I added, also the only way to log out is by beating and clearing all 100 floors of Aincard." The figure spoke as everyone started looking around and in shock that they couldn't log out unless they beat the game. "Also another feature, if you die in this world you will die in the real world." The figure spoke as he brought up images of reports and news stations talking about what was happening and to show he was not lying. "That concludes the grand start of SAO." the cloaked figure said as he disappeared from sight. As the cloaked figure disappeared everyone started to scream and or cry at the mere thought of dying in the game, and being trapped in here till they cleared all 100 levels. "Okay just gotta stay calm. it's just like my dad always told me when put in a life or death situation we have to stay calm." Taname says with a worried face. "WE ARE TRAPPED HERE? WHAT THE HELL!" Pokuro said screaming while flinging his arms side to side in panic. "Well I guess that means, the sunshine and rainbows part of this game just went down the tube." Akatsuki said looking up where the cloaked figure had been a moment ago. Taname face palms and smacks Pokuro in the back of the head while speaking. "Alright one we need to STAY CALM fucktard."Taname tries to continue but is interrupted. "Stay calm yes, but smacking him doesn't help the fact that we just got dumped in here for who knows how long so, let's get out of here quickly and move to the next town." Akatsuki replied, as he looked around at everyone in the game still in a state of panic. "Well Klein, hope to see you later for sure." Akatsuki said, as Taname, Pokuro and himself started leaving the town and heading for the second town.
