Sword Art Online: Unforeseen Content

-Aincrad Floor 55 Knights of the Blood Oath HQ April 27 12:15 PM-
Asuna walked through the hallways of the headquarters, trying to dodge Kuradeel again, and trying to relax after the latest boss battle. It had been a few weeks after the appearance of DarkTyrannomon, and things hadn't quieted down like she had hoped.
Player after player had shown up, under the impression that Digimon were familiars like Pina, and wanted to know where to get them. From what she had heard from Taiki, several players had wanted to buy Agumon from him.
Plus, there was also the rise of Digimon showing up. On average, about thirty attacks would happen daily. Had it not been for Asuna's guild mates in the KoB keeping her up to date, a lot of casualties could have happened.
Asuna made it to a side room, and yawned, in hopes of taking a little nap.
"Tired?" Renamon joked as she fazed into the room.
"I hate that you can do that sometimes." Asuna admitted, sitting down in a chair.
"I haven't seen any new Digimon attacks lately." Renamon explained, "And I doubt they're on the higher floors."
"Oh right, that whole thing." Asuna said, remembering. Falcomon tried to fly up to floor 62 to scout ahead, only to go head first into a powerful barrier. Apparently Akihiko put in a massive barrier preventing players from scaling the outside.
Meanwhile, Kirito and Huckmon were on an interesting side quest, finding Argo the Rat. The informant disappeared clean out of the blue.
"I just hope she hasn't been killed." Asuna said quietly.
It was here Kuradeel made his way into the room. "Ma'am, another creature was sited."
"Good, where?" Asuna asked.
"I'm afraid I must accompany you on this journey." Kuradeel insisted.
"Kuradeel, where?" Asuna insisted.
"Floor 23, near the dust canyon dungeon." Kuradeel said. "But."
"Later." Renamon grabbed Asuna and the two phased out of the room.
"I hate that the fox can do that." Kuradeel groaned.
"So where is it?" Lisbeth asked after a while of walking. The team was presently consistent of Lisbeth, Asuna, Agil, Silica, and their respective partners. Taiki and Kirito were off checking another lead, while Klein had to do something with his guild.
"Hard to tell with the dust storms." Asuna said.
"Can you smell anything?" Agil asked his partner.
"Too much sand, I'm afraid I've got nothing." Gaomon admitted.
"Maybe someone else has seen something?" Silica offered.
"Maybe." Asuna shrugged.
However, none of them noticed pair of green eyes glare at them.
After trekking for a while, the team noticed something, the lack of monsters.
"Ok, where is everyone?" Agil asked confused. "I know a guy who came to my store yesterday and he said the spawn points out here were full."
"Why don't I like where this is going?" Silica asked worried.
It was here however, a powerful dust storm kicked up, causing everyone to cover their eyes.
"This is why I hate this floor." Lisbeth shouted infuriated.
"Stay strong everyone." Asuna ordered. However the dust storm settled abruptly, revealing only Renamon and Asuna were alone.
"Ok, what was that?" Asuna asked confused.
"This was a cover." Renamon bent down to see the remains of the various foot prints left behind. "The others were taken by air."
"By what?" Asuna asked confused.
"If I'd have to guess, whatever caused that dust storm." Renamon mused.
-Floor 24 Panareze 1:03 PM-
Meanwhile on floor 24, Taiki and Kirito were looking into another Digimon lead. Their search lead them to Panareze, the ocean side city.
"If the rent wasn't so high here." Taiki chuckled.
"Clever," Kirito chuckled, "Now can we get back to work?"
It was here, Huckmon resurfaced from the water. "The fish won't stop moving."
"Did you think you could catch a fish that easily?" Agumon asked rhetorically.
"I'm going for more." Huckmon took a deep breath and dove under the water.
"I'm not even going to bother." Kirito sighed.
It was hear, a series of furious splashes were seen where Huckmon just dove down. The dinosaur Digimon then was shot out of the water.
"I think we found our target." Taiki said. It was the familiar sight of Seadramon emerged from the sea.
"Seadramon, of course." Agumon sighed.
Kirito then checked his digivice.
Seadramon
Level: Champion
Type: Sea animal
Attribute: Data
Attacks: Ice Blast, Water Breath, Ice Winder
"Ok, I think we're going to be here a while." Kirito said, drawing his sword.
"Agreed." Taiki said, drawing his own.
"Finally, sushi!" Huckmon shouted happily.
However, Seadramon pulled its head back, and shouted. "ICE BLAST!" The four narrowly dodged the attack, as the land around them was covered in a thick layer of ice.
"Alright, it's time to." Huckmon began, with the intent of becoming BaoHuckmon. However, Seadramon quickly left, however made no attempts to dive down.
"Where's he going?" Huckmon asked confused.
"I know that area, that's the Sea stone Dungeon." Taiki said, noticing the island.
"A dungeon?" Agumon asked confused.
"Yeah." Kirito said, reminded of the area. It was a sub dungeon that the players had to clear to get to the boss area of the floor. The place was filled knee deep with water, as such reduced mobility. However Kirito never saw anyway in besides the front door on dry land. So why would a sea faring Digimon, incapable of going on land, lure them there?
"I think he wants us to follow." Agumon said, running after the sea creature.
-Floor 23: Near Sandstorm Canyon 1:25 PM -
Asuna and Renamon soon found themselves lost, again. "Still nothing." Asuna sighed.
"Hold on." Renamon said, listening. The duo turned to see a swarm of bee like Digimon flying in midair, carrying a series of other players.
"And those would be?" Asuna asked, turning to her digivice.
Flymon
Level: Champion
Attribute: Virus
Type: Insectoid
Attacks: Brown Stinger, Poison Powder, Flying Arm
"Hurry, we got to get this shipment off to the boss." One said to the other.
"Boss?" Renamon asked confused. The duo wordlessly decided to follow the bugs. Their search lead them to a temple not too far from the boss dungeon.
"I remember this spot, it's a safe zone." Asuna explained.
"And the perfect place for a Digimon to hide." Renamon suggested.
The two snuck in to see the three Flymon cowering in front a grey dragonfly like Digimon well under half their size.
"Ok, who's the little guy?" Asuna asked, looking at her digivice
SandYanmamon
Level: Champion
Attribute: Data
Type: Insectoid
Attacks: Desert Storm, Flying Break, Desert Wind, Bottom Cutter
"You two bit morons!" Sandyanmamon shouted infuriated. "The boss wants many humans as possible and you can't even meet our quota!"
"But boss, it's only the three of us." One of the Flymon reminded.
"Well were the hell is Snimon!" SandYanmamon demanded.
"Keep your wings on short stuff, I'm right here." A voice rudely said. The four insects turned to see a winged praying mantis like Digimon with massive metal scythes for hands. On its back were a few captured players.
Snimon
Level: Champion
Attribute: Vaccine
Type: Insectoid
Attacks: Twin Sickle, Ultimate Twin Sickle, Slamming attack, Green Sickle Cut
"Where were you!" SandYanmamon ordered.
"I told you I was out." Snimon replied.
"Don't get snippy with me, I'm in charge here." SandYanmamon demanded.
"You in charge!" Snimon cackled.
Renamon nudged Asuna who noticed the others and several more players off to the side. Everyone was tied up and out cold. Asuna silently nodded and the two walked to stop this.
"You couldn't find your way out of a wet paper bag!" Snimon replied.
"If I'm so incompetent, how come I'm the only one of you nimrods to notice the Human and the Renamon trying for the other players!" SandYanmamon demanded.
Asuna and Renamon stopped dead in their tracks. "Oh he is good."
"Big deal, you three, get them." Snimon ordered the Flymon. They nervously complied.
"I give the orders here!" SandYanmamon ordered. The two locked at their apparent eyes and lightning lit up between the two.
Renamon phased out, then reappeared behind a Flymon. "Power Paw!" She delivered a powerful kick right to the insect's back.
"Coming through!" Asuna then delivered a slash, destroying the Flymon Renamon kicked forward.
"Uh, oh." The remaining Flymon said scared.
"I'll fix this." SandYanmamon ordered agitated. "Desert Storm!" The dragonfly's wings flapped at incredible speeds, creating a massive dust storm.
"Oh no!" Asuna shouted, she was then sent flying alongside Renamon and the other Flymon. The four then were slammed against the wall behind them.
"Get the two into a cell with the others." SandYanmamon ordered.
-Floor 24 Sea Stone Dungeon 2:25 PM-
Back with Kirito and company, the four found themselves walking through some ankle deep water of the dungeon.
"I remember it having a lot more water before." Taiki admitted.
"It's like the area was altered." Kirito said, noticing the same thing.
"Whoa, everyone quiet." Huckmon ordered. Agumon was about to reprimand him, when he heard something too. The human pair soon heard the same thing.
It was a mass number of people crying for help.
With new found resolve, the four ran forward, only to find the people crying for help, were actually about thirty frog like Digimon with red fins on top. They were presently being caged by a massive lobster like Digimon with brown/red scales.
Betamon
Level: Rookie
Attribute: Virus
Type: Amphibious
Attacks: Electric Shock, Beta Slugger, Water Tower
Ebidramon
Level: Champion
Attribute: Data
Type: Crustacean
Attacks: Twin Scissors, Lobster Step
"Quiet all of you!" Ebirdramon demanded. "Once the boss gets here, then you get out!"
"Yeah right, I know you and those other Digimon have been deleting other Digimon and those humans that get lost in the digital world!" One Betamon ordered.
"They don't know they aren't in the Digital World?" Agumon asked confused.
"Why not, you and the other Digimon don't know how you got here." Kirito reminded.
"Bwahaha!" Ebidramon laughed. "Just because you know what the boss is doing, doesn't mean you know what he's planning."
"Who's this boss they're talking about?" Kirito asked confused.
"Now no of you try anything, that one that got out is presently being hunted down as we speak!"
"Escaped?" Huckmon asked confused.
"I think I know what happened to it." Taiki said, with Agumon nodding in agreement.
"What?" Kirito asked confused.
"Betamon are capable of digivolving into Seadramon." Agumon explained.
"No wonder he lured us here, there's no place for a big sea creature like him to swim around in." Huckmon noticed.
"I don't know about you, but I'm in the mood for crab cakes." Taiki said with a smirk, drawing his sword. The others nodded, with Huckmon and Kirito nodding at each other.
HUCKMON DIGIVOLVE TO BAOHUCKMON
"What was that?" Ebidramon ordered.
"It's the chef coming in to make dinner!" BaoHuckmon said with a laugh. "Burning Flame!"
Ebidramon swung his right claw and deflected the attack. "Is that all you've got?" He taunted. "I've seen burnt out matchsticks with more fight than that!"
"Then try this!" Kirito charged a sword skill and swung his blade at the crustacean.
"Twin Scissor!" Ebidramon threw his claws forward in an attempt to slash Kirito. The black swordsman then jumped back, narrowly avoiding the attack.
"Hang on, we'll get you all out of here." Taiki said, destroying the lock on the cell.
"Thanks human." One of the Betamon said gratefully. "Though you might want to leave the Digital World soon."
"We aren't in the Digital World." Agumon explained. "We're inside a human's video game called Sword Art Online."
"What!" The various frogs shouted in fear.
"Oh great, first that weird Digimon showed up, and now we aren't even in our world." One groaned.
"What weird Digimon?" Agumon asked confused.
"We didn't get a good look at his face." One said.
"But all we can tell you is he's wants revenge against someone." The first one said.
"And he acted like he'd never been to the Digital World before." Another explained.
"Ok, that raises some red flags." Taiki admitted. A Digimon that was never in the Digital World, that's kind of something you don't hear every day.
"Uh a little help over here!" Kirito shouted, after taking a hit from Ebidramon.
"Agumon!" Taiki ordered. "You've got to Digivolve yourself."
"You got it Tai." Agumon gathered all the energy inside himself, however. "Yeah I got nothing."
Betamon and Taiki then fell over anime style. It was then, Taiki had an idea, turning to the Betamon. "You guys have an attack that can dish out water right?" They all nodded.
-Floor 23 Ruin Area 2:39 PM-
Asuna awoke to see something she hadn't seen in year, her room IRL. "This, this can't be right."
"Oh but it is right." A menacing voice said. Asuna turned in fear to see a menacing version of her mother. Before she knew it, her classmates from her school surrounded her too.
"You were supposed to be our icon, our role model." One girl taunted.
"Instead you wasted your life playing some stupid game!" Her mother shouted.
"But don't worry my dear." A menacing and creepy male voice said with a sickening laugh. "I can help you after our wedding!" Suguha said.
"AHH!" Asuna screamed waking up.
"Girl, warn us!" Agil demanded. Asuna started breathing heavily, noticing they were in a cage alongside Lisbeth, Silica, and several other players.
"Sorry." Asuna said sheepishly. "So what happened?"
"Well the Beetles over there can't stop fighting with one another." Agil explained, pointing outside the cell bars. In the adjacent cell, Asuna could make out the fallen body of Renamon.
"Oh no." Asuna said, tears forming.
"Quite humans!" SandYanmamon ordered, flying over. "Once our master gets here you can all up and be useful for one."
"What do you mean?" Lisbeth asked confused.
"Our boss wants to process all of you for something big, I mean game changer big!" SandYanmamon cackled.
"So is that it, we're fodder to you?" Asuna demanded.
"Of course, what else could you weaklings be?" The dragonfly taunted.
"Oh this isn't going to end well." Snimon predicted.
"Well then, I think it's time to teach you how weak we humans really are!" Asuna demanded. As she did, Renamon's eyes shot opened and her digivice lit up.
RENAMON DIGIVOLVE TO KYUBIMON
The cage doors were blasted open as Asuna and Renamon's champion form slowly walked out. In place of the humanoid fox was a four legged, nine tailed fox roughly the same size as BaoHuckmon. Her tails and paws were covered in blue flames and around her neck was an interesting sacred rope, just before a huge tuft of white fur.
"Uh oh." The Flymon trio said in unison.
"Uh oh is so right." Agil chuckled, checking his digivice.
Kyubimon
Level: Champion
Type: Mythical Animal
Attribute: Data
Attacks: Fox Tail Inferno, Dragon Wheel, Tengu, Kodengeki
"I'll take short stuff, the rest of you handle the cowards and scissor hands." Kyubimon ordered.
"The lady drives a hard bargain." Gaomon chuckled.
"You take me?" SandYanmamon asked with a laugh. "How?"
"Like this." She said as her tails expanded. "FOX TAIL INFERNO!" The flames shot off at SandYanmamon who dodged them with ease.
"Come get me throw rug." The dragonfly taunted.
"With pleasure." Kyubimon said with a smirk. She quickly ran off after the bug.
"Oh now where do you three think you're going?" Asuna asked the now retreating Flymon.
"Let's squash them." Lalamon shouted. "Lala Screw." Her sprout spun at high speeds, then she rushed the Flymon head first. The attack collided with the bugs.
"Ok, looks like we're going to have to fight." One said. The others nodded. "Brown Stinger." Their stingers launched off in a consecutive assortment of blasts.
"Ok so now you want to go hardball huh?"
"Guys, everyone else left." Silica explained.
"Probably for the best," Asuna said as she deflected every shot.
"Uh oh." The duo said frightened.
"Charge!" Agil said, swinging his hammer.
"Double Backhand!" Gaomon spun at high speeds and slammed his fists into the insects.
"Ok, hold on a second," Silica said. "Why do you two seem so weak?"
"Silica!" Lisbeth reprimanded.
"No she's right!" One of the Flymon explained. "Our new boss took away some of our power for some project of his."
"He said unless we did as he told, we wouldn't be processed for it." The second said.
"Processed, for what?" Agil asked confused.
"We don't know, all we know is it's for the kid with the spiky hair." The first explained.
"For Taiki?" Lisbeth asked confused.
"Well can you at least tell us your boss' name?" Asuna asked.
"It's." Before the Flymon could finish, a single red energy wave deleted the two in a single shot.
"I am so good at aiming." Snimon snickered before he flew off.
"No." Asuna groaned.
"Asuna, you stay and help Kyubimon, we'll go after him." Agil explained. She nodded.
"Fox Tail Inferno!" Kyubimon shot another barrage of fire balls at her opponent.
"Face it hair ball, I'm lightning fast!" SandYanmamon cackled.
"No, I am!" Asuna corrected, delivering a barrage of stabs to her opponent.
"Good of you to come." Kyubimon said with a smirk.
"Alright that's it, Flying Break!" SandYanmamon charged with talons forward.
"I got this, Kodengeki!" Kyubimon was coated in electricity as she charged at her opponent. The electrified attack disoriented the insect.
"That will hold him for now, but his armor's tougher than I anticipated." The fox Digimon admitted.
"Then let's go for a combo move." Asuna said, getting on her partners back.
"I know one attack that can help even the odds, but it might singe you." Kyubimon admitted.
"I'll take my chances." Asuna said determinedly, charging a sword skill.
"Alright, don't say I didn't warn you." Kyubimon said with a smirk. She ran forward and jumped into the air. Kyubimon then spun forward, becoming a massive blue fireball. Asuna's sword then pointed forward, becoming a white flaming streak.
"Ok, that was weird." SandYanmamon admitted. Only to panic at what he saw.
"DRAGON WHEEL!" The fireball turned into a massive dragon. Asuna's blade was represented by a series of white fangs.
"OH NO!" Was all SandYanmanon could say before he was deleted.
"That was satisfying." Asuna admitted, after Kyubimon landed and reverted back into Renamon.
"Sorry," Silica admitted. "But Snimon got away."
"Don't feel bad, today was a good day, and I don't mean because Renamon digivolved herself." Asuna explained.
"Love you too." Renamon said with a fake pout.
"What?" Silica asked confused.
"Now we know someone's trying to hurt Taiki, and he's more than likely responsible for all of this." Asuna explained.
"And we're going to be better prepared for the next time he shows up." Agil admitted.
"Speaking of which, I wonder what Taiki and Kirito are up too?" Lisbeth asked.
-Sea Stone Dungeon Same time-
BaoHuckmon was presently locking claws with Ebidramon.
"Face it traitor, you don't stand a chance." The lobster taunted. However it was here, the room shook violently.
"Now what?" Kirito asked concerned.
"HANG TEN!" Taiki shouted happily. A massive wave of water, delivered by all the Betamon using Water Tower flooded the room.
"You think this will stop me?" Ebidramon asked with a laugh. "I thrive in water."
"Taiki, what the hell?" Kirito asked confused as he on top of a pillar. His partner then crawled up onto a pile of rocks, the same height.
"Who did we meet earlier?" Taiki asked as he and Agumon landed on another pillar.
"Good plan." BaoHuckmon said with a sigh of relief.
"What plan?" Ebidramon asked confused. His answer was a green serpentine body wrapping around him.
"Remember me?" Seadramon demanded.
"Uh oh." The crustacean said with fear in his voice.
"Oy jumbo, how about a fire and ice combo?" BaoHuckmon asked with a smirk. Seadramon nodded. Using his body, Seadramon launched Ebidramon into the air.
"Burning Flame/ Ice Blast!" The two attacks collided, deleting Ebidramon.
"Well that went well." Taiki admitted.
-Taiki's place Floor 33 Hyrok 3:45 PM-
"So now Seadramon and the Betamon are living peacefully in the dungeon." Kirito explained, taking a sip of his drink.
"I so should have come." Klein complained. "You guys had all the fun."
"We did find a new extra dungeon of floor 43." Falcomon explained.
"Still, someone's trying to kill you Taiki, but why?" Asuna asked confused.
"I've met a lot of evil Digimon over the years," He explained. "But none that immediately come to mind that can do this."
"Plus according to the Betamon, whoever this boss is, hadn't been to the digital world before." Huckmon reminded.
"Or maybe it isn't a Digimon at all?" Lisbeth suggested. "Maybe its Akihiko Kayaba, I mean he does have massive computer skills."
"And I do know the government has tried to access the Digital World before." Taiki remembered. "So maybe he got a government contract?"
"No." Kirito said, getting everyone's attention. "I read an article a few years ago, saying Akihiko turned down dozens of government contracts, saying he didn't trust some guy."
"Then who, or what want's you dead?" Asuna asked turning to Taiki.
-Digital World Same Time-
"This has never happened before." Genai said, confused at the ghost town that once held several hundred thousand Digimon. He had called in the Japanese team to show them Digimon had mysteriously vanished. Among them were Agumon. However Sora and Matt had yet to show up.
"Where did they all go?" Cody asked concerned.
"We don't know, this just happened all out of the blue." Gennai explained.
"How do Digimon just vanish?" Davis asked concerned.
Yolie meanwhile just glared at Kari and Ken. The girl had been holding Ken's hand the whole time.
"I heard about Tai by the way." Gennai admitted, turning to Kari. "I'm sorry, I just wish I could help."
"We all do." Kari admitted silently.
"Sorry we're late." Sora admitted, running up with Matt not far behind. "My fashion class ran late again."
"Fifth time this month Sora." Davis sighed.
"You two can't keep doing this to us." Joe agreed.
"Doing what?" Matt asked. "I had an audition."
"Ever since Tai got trapped in SAO, you two constantly avoid the digital world and your duties." Joe explained.
"No we haven't." Matt insisted. "I've been holding up as leader since he's gone."
"Not very well." Izzy admitted.
"What the hell are you talking about, Matt's a great leader." Sora shouted. Soon everyone got into a massive fight, yelling at one another.
"Tai, I envy you so much right now." Gennai groaned.
-KoB headquarters 7:30 PM-
"Commander, this is getting serious, she can't keep shirking her duties." Kuradeel complained to Heathcliff.
"She isn't Kuradeel." Heathcliff explained. "I gave Asuna special permission to join Kirito and his friends in dealing with the Digimon creatures."
"What?" Kuradeel demanded. "Have you not seen these abominations in action?"
"These creature can be either threats to us, or possible allies." Heathcliff explained. "Just as we humans make our own decisions, the creatures can as well."
"I can't believe what I'm hearing commander." Kuradeel shouted. "You want to ally yourself with them?"
"Only those who wish to." Heathcliff said, turning to look out his window. "And Asuna and her friends might just be the ones to bridge the gap."
Happy Labor Day everyone. Next chapter I promise won't debut around a holiday. But before I go, I just want to double check: There is an SAO 3 anime coming up, right. If yes, Yay! I am open to suggestions for future chapter. However I won't accept them if they are anonymous reviews.
