"Speaking"
Thoughts
A teenage boy was sat at his computer listening to a report about the new VRMMORPG called Sword Art Online. His sister was downstairs getting ready to go to kendo. "Hey Kazuto I'm off to practice now" she says as she goes out the front door. He takes off his headphones to see his sister running out of the gate. Kazuto plugs in his nerve gear and lies down. He closes his eyes and says "LINK START".
The game loads and spawns him in the tutorial area and he looks around to see other people spawning in. Kazuto runs to the nearest exit but stops when he hears someone shouting after him. "Hey wait up". Kazuto turns around to see a red headed guy with a bandana on. "You look like you know what you are doing where you in the beta" the guy said. Kazuto looks at him before nodding his head. "Awesome can you lend me a hand I'm new to the game and I need some help, the names Klein" he says while holding out his hand. "Alright fine I'm Kirito" he says while shaking Klein's hand.
"You're getting better" Kirito says to Klein after a few hours of training. "Haha it's thanks to you" Klein says while scratching his neck. Klein stands up and asks "Hey Kirito fancy a spar". "You're on" was his reply before he drew his blade preparing to attack. As their blades clash they heard someone scream "HELP". "What was that" Klein said as he put his sword in its sheath. Kirito replied with "I don't know but let's find out this way".
They ran into the forest until they came across a clearing and Kirito spotted some people nearby. He darted behind a bush ad Klein was about to run past him but he grabbed him and dragged him into the bush. "No-one can hear you and no-one will help you so why don't you just give us your stuff and we will let you live" one of the guys said. Kirito couldn't tell who they were because they had hoods up. He looks to their right to find a girl with long purple hair with an angry look staring at them. "Should we help her" Kirito whispered to Klein. "I don't know what if it's a trap to lure people in to get their gear of them" Klein replies. "And if it isn't". Kirito replied with anger in his voice. Klein looked at Kirito and says "Well what should we do". They look back up to see one of the guys unsheathe his sword and starts to attack the girl.
Without giving a verbal reply Kirito draws his sword and jumps out of the bush. He activates a sword skill and shouts "Switch". The girl quickly looks behind her to see a boy running at her. She blocks one of the attacks and backflips over him. Kirito ducks under and says "Vertical Square". The skill connects and kills one of the three guys as Kirito jumps back. He turns around to look at the girl and says "Hey are you alright". She looks at him with sparkling red eyes and replies "I will be now." She cute Kirito thought.
"Kirito look out" Klein shouted from the bush. Before he could react and purple blur shot passed him and parried the attack. "Thanks" Kirito says. One of the guys jumped over them and faced Kirito. Kirito and the girl where back to back. The girl notice him sheath his sword and the other guy returned next to him. Kirito stood next to her when one of them started to speak "Kirito I will remember that name". With that they turned and retreated. That was creepy, Kirito thought.
Kirito sheaths his sword and says to the girl "you ok". "Yeah I am thank you" the girl says with a smile "Good I'm Kirito and this is Klein" Kirito says pointing to himself then Klein who was coming out of his hiding spot. "Nice to meet you" Klein says. The girl smiles and Klein and Kirito then says "Nice to meet you too Klein and Kirito my names Yuuki.
"So mind telling us what all that was about" Kirito says. "Ahh they wanted my gear and if I didn't give them it they were going to take my stuff and then PK me." Yuuki says while blushing. "Ahh" Klein screams from next to them pointing at something. Kirito and Yuuki turn to him with a confused look. "OH I forgot to tell you that I ordered some food and I forgot the time" Klein answers their confused look. "I hate to leave you but nothing gets in the way of me and my food" Klein says with a big grin on his face.
Kirito holds out his hand and says "I will see you later then". Klein shakes his and bids goodbye to both of the before turning around to log off. Kirito and Yuuki begin to walk away when Klein stops them by saying "Err guys where's the log out button" Kirito turns around and swipes open his menu and begins to walk towards Klein. "It's in the setting menu right at the bottom here I will…." Kirito trails off when he notices the log out button isn't there. "What's wrong" Yuuki says peering over Kirito shoulders. He turns his head to look at her and says "Have a look" She looks at his menu to see no log out button. She goes to say something but the three of them are teleported. "Somebody forced a teleport" Kirito says as he looks around. "Hey look at that" somebody said in the crowd. "What's going on" Yuuki says "I think were about to find out" Kirito says pointing to where there was a floating person.
Attention, players. Welcome to my world. Kirito looks at him and mutters "My world". My name is Kayaba Akihiko. At this moment, I am the sole person who can control this world. I am sure by now you have all noticed that the logout button is missing from the main menu. Kirito felt a weight drop onto his shoulder and arm. He turned to see Yuuki clutching his arm. But this is not a defect in the game. I repeat this is not a defect. This is a feature of Sword Art Online. "W-what" Klein stuttered out. You cannot log out of SAO yourselves. And no-one on the outside world can shut down or remove the Nerve Gear.
Should this be attempted, the transmitter inside the Nerve Gear will emit a powerful microwave, destroying your brain and ending your life. Unfortunately several players and their families have ignored this warning. As a result, two hundred and thirteen players are gone forever, Aincrad and the real world. The gm pulled up several news feeds. As you now can see, news organizations across the world reporting all of this including the deaths. Thus you can assume the danger of a Nerve Gear being removed is now minimal. There is no method to revive someone within the game. If your HP drops to zero, your avatar will be lost forever. And simultaneously, the Nerve Gear will destroy your brain.
Kirito's mind flashes to his sister then to his mother. He remembers he left them behind in the real world. Kirito's mind flashed back to where he killed the guy to save Yuuki. His body went stiff when he realised that he has killed someone and his mind went numb. He went to collapse but Yuuki caught him. The gm kept talking but nothing was registering. Yuuki whispered things into his ear to calm him down. Defeat the final boss on floor 100, and you will clear the game. Cries of disbelief flooded the place. Finally I've added a present from me to your item storage. Present? Kirito said to himself as he opened his menu. In his inventory was an object named [mirror]. Everyone started to look at the mirror. The entire plaza glowed with white light. Kirito looked in the mirror to find his real life self-staring back at him.
"Kazuto is that you" somebody said next to him. He looked to the side and saw one of his school friends next to him. "Ryoutarou is that you" Kirito said to him. Klein walked up to him and says "all this time it's been you I have been playing this game with". "Is that you Kirito" a small voice came from behind him. He turned around and nodded his head and says "Yeah it's me I take it your Yuuki". Yuuki jumps at him and buries her head into his chest and says "Yeah it's me. This ends the tutorial of the official launch of sword art online. Good luck players.
Kirito grabbed hold of Yuuki and Klein and ran to the town exit. "What are you doing" Klein says finally regaining his breath. "We need to leave and we need to get ahead of everyone else so we can survive" Kirito says. "I'm sorry man I really am but I can't come with you." Kirito nods his understanding what he's getting at. A friend requested popped up on Kirito's screen and he accepted it. "Stay safe and stay alive and I'm sure we will see each other again Kaz" Klein says before running off. Kirito shouts "You too". He turns to ask Yuuki but he took one look into her eyes and he knew what her answer was. He put his hand on top of her head and rubbed it affectional. Yuuki jumped into his chest again and hugged him. She pulls back and smiles at him before turning away and runs off. Kirito goes to do the same when another friend request pops up. He smiles and accepts and leaves. I will survive and I will get to the last floor and beat the boss and leave this world Kirito thought as he killed a wolf.
