Chapter 3: Flight Combact

Akemi and I were probably the only players to find the boss door. No other players were spotted. Knowing the hardcore gamers, that will change. According to the new Player Guide; the boss door is hidden on the map until a player and/or party, finds and beat the boss in it. Thus, showing players how to get to the next floor. In the town, Akemi and I went to the Teleportation Station, or TS.

"Ne ne*, Onii-chan." Akemi said, I turned towards her. She had her new weapon out. "Wanna fly around?" She asked. I thought for a moment. Since the new installment, little under 9,000 players were actually playing SAO. I figured this was due to not wanting a repeating or just scared. The rest were offline or in Alfhiem Online. We walked to the TS and stood.

"Alfhiem Online." We both said. Soon we were teleported to one of the many docks that was under the castle in the sky. Phoe and Nix came from my pockets as I grinned. I was a Cait Sith. A beast tamer in this world.

I looked towards Akemi as her brown hair turned into an aqua blue color. It suited her I admit. She wore puffy shoulders with knee length jacket. She was wearing clothing under her coat, but I'd rather not go into detail. Mainly due to the fact her jacket is buttoned up and I have no idea what they wear under the thin coats. She had removable sleeves. The shoulders as well.

"Hey, Onii-chan." She said, looking at me while I sat on Nix's saddle while Phoe was on my other side. "Why do you have two dragons? And not one?" She asked as I chuckled.

"Well, ever since I got AHO, I suppose riding a dragon is cool. So I thought why not. The second Dragon is a support dragon. Phoe is a long range attacker, while Nix is a close range. So I can go head on into battle while being supported. Plus, the dragon egg these two came in was a 'Chance Egg'. Which means I could get 1 or 2 dragons. Seems like I made the right choice." I smiled and patted Nix head.

"You seem more of a Salamander if anything." She told me. It was true. I had everything a Salamander needed. Willpower, Fire lover, my favorite color is red. But I still became a 'Duel Dragon Rider'.

"Yeah.." I said. Akemi shrugged as she ran off the edge. Phoe followed. I gave Phoe the ultimate command to watch Akemi when I couldn't. She Phoe has a mix of purple and blue scales. Akemi could ride her, butshe enjoyed flying with her own wings. I gripped the reins of Nix's and whipped them. He roared as he ran off. Doing a complete noise dive. I saw Akemi and Phoe down below with a grin, I pressed my body to Nix's, causing less wind resistance as Nix continue to fall, Akemi and Phoe close ahead now. Soon, Akemi stopped when her wings appeared. Phoe did as well. I quickly opened my menu and challenged Akemi to a duel. She saw the pop-up as she grinned. Accepting the duel as I grabbed my sword. It's name was Dovahkiin Daedric. I nicknamed it that due to my past obsession with Elder Scrolls. It was a dark grey blade with a pure black outer blade. It's handle was made of grey leather as Akemi turned, holding a nata. It's blade was blue while the rest was white. Our weapons clashed as I grinned at her as she grinned at me. We'd occasionally have these random duels. Just for fun. Nix soon I was below Akemi as she looked down at me as she waved, zipping east as I whipped the reins again, Nix followed with impressive speed. Nix was flying faster with each flap as Akemi was going fast. She started flying backwards as she held a hand to me. She started muttering words as suddenly, suddenly, water spears started zipping by me as Nix started to dodge them. I slowly caught up to Akemi as Nix sent a fireball at her. She disappeared in a ball of mist as Nix and I entered it. I looked around, my eyes going golden as I looked around. Suddenly, I felt Nix disappear. It was comical even. I looked down, feeling for Nix.

"Uh-oh." Suddenly, I started falling, free falling as I laughed before turning myself around as I exited the mist as Akemi giggled from behind me as she was below me, holding a baby Nix who was flailing as I chuckle. I pointed my sword at her as she merely moved to the side and tapped my shoulder. I saw the pop up 'Scarlotta Wins' appear as I sighed, putting the sword back in my belt as I kept falling. Soon, I landed in a tree, falling through the branches like an idiot as I landed on my back, leaves and twigs all over my body as Akemi flew down, laughing more then ever, soon, she started rolling on the floor as I blew a leaf out of my eye sight. I started laughing as well I got up, having a huge grin as I helped my sister up. She accepted my hand as we brushed off any remaining twigs or leaves that were on us.

"Where to?" Akemi asked as I thought. Alfhiem Online had a lot of options, but it was slightly smaller then SAO. I sighed as I started walking. My sister close behind.

"Well. I was thinking.." I started.

"GAIN WAY!" I heard someone yell behind me. Akemi and I turned. Seeing a Sylph with green hair with blue ascent running away from a heard of large gorilla like beings. Drunken Apes. They were added when SAO was installed.

"Shit!" I yelled as the Slyph ran past us. Akemi and I soon joining the Sylph.

"I'm Bon! Pleasure to meet you!" He introduced himself, running backwards as Akemi and I kept running.

"Leo." I introduced myself.

"Scar." Akemi told him her screen name.

"Nice to meet you two!" He said as he turned around. He summoned his green wings as Akemi with hers as I whistled a small tune as Nix and Phoe came from no where as we all took off. I hopped onto Nix while Phoe did support killing a few apes. Soon after we flew a few miles. We landed as I started to laugh. Bon started to as well

"Bakas**!" Akemi shouted as Bon and I instantly went quiet. Akemi stood over us, her hands on her hips glaring fiercely at us both. I shrunk. She was mad. "We would have been killed due to this Sylphs ignorance!"

"Well excuuuuse me princess. I was trying to get Experience and I…accidentally angered them all." Bon retorted. Akemi looked shocked at the comeback, surprised she flustered turning a dark red.

"You're still an idiot." She muttered as I chuckled. I stood up. I took a look at Bon. He was wearing brown shoes, white cargo pants, a belt with two pouches, a normal green short sleeve t-shirt. His left arm had these weird tattoos which I recognized as Sylph language. On his right hand was a fingerless glove as I noticed a pretty basic sword on his waist It was silver with a gold center line and edge. I nodded. It was hand crafted which was respectable. Probably enchanted a lot as well.

"Well. It's a pleasure meeting you Bon, but I think we should get to a town before we get attacked again." I mounted Nix as Akemi nodded.

"Yeah…That'll probably be a smart idea." Bon agreed, climbing on behind me. It took me a second to realize that he mounted Nix as well.

"What the hell?!" I said as Nix reared, causing Bon to fall off.

"Ow…" He grumbled as Akemi laughed a bit.

"You have your own wings!" I told him as he sweat drop. As if forgetting. He sprouted his own wings as we took off. It was a small neutral town. All it really had was a plaza, a few markets, and a few inns. Bon was kind enough to treat us with rooms at the inn for today.

"Least I can for causing you trouble…" He apologized as I chuckled.

"No, it was fun to say the least. But since you offered…" I smirked as Akemi nodded, giggling.

"You're a cruel man." He commented as we all laughed. It was nice having a third person in our party. Bon paid for the rooms. Again, we got jointing rooms. Akemi took one while Bon and I took the other.

"See you two tomorrow?" I nodded as did Akemi. Bon did a few quick slides as he pressed. I received a pop up showing a number and email address.

"Incase we need to get in contact." I nodded as I noticed Akemi blushing as we all logged out.

Akemi and I had a small supper before heading to bed. I sent Bon mine and Akemi's number via cell phone. I even added our home phone in case he couldn't get us via text. After wishing Akemi good night, I returned to my room and fell asleep as soon as I hit the pillow.
