"WHA…WHAT…WHAT!" screamed Sugou.
What the hell was this? This SURE AS HELL had not been programmed into the game. A GIANT BEING WITH SWORDS FOR ARMS AND A SCREEN FOR A FACE!
Soundwave suddenly spoke out again.
"One could say you stole this world. Stole it from Kayaba Akihiko, the one who was always better than you."
A pause.
"But did anyone wonder how technologies like FullDive, virtual reality, NerveGear, could be created? How could it be created so rapidly and so soon? Answer: it could not be nearly as advanced as it is right now. Not even close. Not without help, help that was not of this planet. Not without me."
Confusion etched its way into the terrified faces of all three Humans.
"We have long been active on your planet Earth, far before your time even. We have been hiding, fighting, and watching. We have waiting for the right moment, while in plain sight. We have been observing your pathetic race as we fought each other. If you have not deduced it yet, I will verify: I am not Human, nor am I from this planet. But that is beside the point. I myself have been operating on this planet for years. During my free time, I attempted an experiment: I secretly fed that Kayaba Akihiko knowledge, information, technology, and all sorts of data that is far beyond your era; all the while I never revealed what I really was. I wanted to see what he would do with that information. He both surpassed my expectations, and corrupted them. While Kayaba Akhiko may have created this world, I gave it to him first."
"WHAT!?" Kirito managed to splutter out.
"Manipulating this Cardinal System is a rather interesting challenge, especially from where I am, but is still doable. I am therefore able to project an image of myself into this game, even from my location. But that is beside the point: Both you, Sugou Nobuyuki, and Kayaba Akihiko, have used the gifts I have given you to hurt people: I have grown tired of hurting people. Kayaba Akihiko would have interfered here, by the way. He would have stepped in, but something prevented him.
"WHAT! KAYABA, DAMN YOU DAMN YOU, DAMN YOU! YOU'RE STILL IN MY WAY! YOUR SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!"
"But that is all beside the point. I will find and deal with Kayaba Akihiko later. Right now you are here."
Sondwaves voice suddenly stopped for a moment, and then a voice spoke out from Soundwave.
It was a recording of Sugous's.
"'You pissed me off kid, and I don't like being pissed off!'"
"WHa…?"
"Laserbeak: Deploy. Operation: Restraint."
Soundwaves chest piece detached, and then transformed into a small winged drone that took to the air.
"WHAT! WAIT!" Sugou screamed as he turned and tried to run.
Laserbeak simply swooped around, with two metallic tentacles shooting out from the drone, grabbing Sugou's arms, and suspending him in the air as he screamed, his legs flailing around comically.
"System Over Command: Set ID Oberon to Level 1. System Over Command: disable pain absorbers. You hurt many people, these children included…"
Two more tentacles emerged from Soundwave, one of which moved to Kirito. The tentacle grabbed his sword, and pulled it out.
Kirito struggled to his feet, but was held back when one of Soundwaves sword-like arms moved in front of him, his tentacle still holding the sword.
"But especially this girl."
Soundwaves other tentacle reached out, grabbing the chains that were restraining Asuna. He maneuvered his free arm, and with one swift slash, destroyed the chains above where his tentacle was holding them. Soundwave then released what was left of the chains, and said chains proceeded to disintegrate, with Asuna falling to the ground as a result of the sudden disappearance. Soundwaves tentacle moved behind him, returning with the robe his reaper form had worn, and draped it over the girl, as Asuna staggered to her feet.
"So it is fitting to say she should decide your fate."
Soundwave dropped the sword from his tentacle in front of Asuna.
Asuna stood trembling.
"W-wait…"
Asuna raised her head slightly, looking at the man who had assaulted her, violated her; hurt her and her husband…
"Please…mercy..."
Asuna stared, looking into his eyes.
Sugous saw…
"AHHH!"
Before he could even blink, Asuna had grabbed the sword and severed his legs below the knees.
"ARRRGGGHH!"
Asuna slashed first his right arm, and then his left arm.
"AH…MMPPPGGG!"
Asuna stabbed him in the crotch…
"AH…BLA…ARRRRGGGHHH!"
…and then brought the sword up, twisted it horizontally, and severed his body at the stomach.
"Ah…ah…ah…,"
Asuna brought the blade up, aiming the tip at his whimpering face, her own face wet with tears of rage.
"A god has his reign. But time passes. And then he fades away."
