(The overall idea of this game was based of SAO, the virtual reality part and the headgear idea I did take that from SAO but everything else is mine. I came up with the elements, the items that they get -like the identity sealing item-, the Lyrev area and its checkpoints/rules, the names of the cities and rules and history of the game , that will be developed even more so as the story progresses, and everything else that comes with it.

**That being said, any ideas on add-ons to this game will defiantly be thought about and included. EX: Like, boss levels, different elements other than the basics, rules and kinks.**

I am so happy everyone likes it. Like I was telling the first reviewer, I was planning on deleting this story because it wasn't getting any attention but i'm very pleased I can go forth with it. I hope I continue to impress you.

p.s: sorry in advance for grammatical errors and spelling

ENJOY)

chapter 4- The battle

Elsa's never seen anything go as fast as these two did when that number hit zero. She watched as both of them had their elements out and were starting up their first attacks within that very second. It made her jump slightly at the loud crash that happened in the battlefield and echoed throughout the arena. The crash that was made by the both of them got everyone riled up. Even Kristoff stood there at the door hollering for Anna like his life depended on it. Elsa didn't want to, she didn't want to draw unnecessary attention to herself and her mind couldn't do two things at once right now, her main focus was her sister that stood out there on the field, giving it her all.

Anna's eyes narrowed as her senses intensified. The crowd that cheered was growing more and more silent to her as she blocked out their screams. She didn't block it out completely because as soon as she heard the number '1' being shouted, her stance hardened and before the crowed could get the word '0' out of their mouths completely, she gave a loud grunt and with a simple hand movement, the ground beneath Jack shook and the hill he stood on darted from the ground and grew in length within mili-seconds after her command. His laugh was heard and he jumped with the winters breeze, allowing it to carry him out of range from that attack, dodging it in the best way he knows how. With feet flat on the ground it took him mili-seconds to come with with an attack of his own, a spear made of ice shot from the curved end of his staff and with the speed of lightning, it was targeted at her. The crash that was heard was caused by her defense. A sharp root shot from the ground before her and with all the force and speed it could muster up, it rammed straight up into the spear of ice. With enough speed, force, and perfect timing, it shot from the ground and pierced the spear straight through the middle, deflecting this attack and allowing Anna to jump from range but her jumps were not seized when she hit the ground because jack was at it again, sending spear after spear in every direction of which she jumped but the same thing happened, the roots under them deflected each attack that she didn't dodge.

With the last jump, she aimed to get more air and she did so. When pushed off the ground, she caught enough air and kicked herself forward, doing a flip with extended legs. As she was coming closer and closer to landing, vines shot from the forest behind her and before Jack could even blink or take his next breath, they darted towards him, Anna grabbed a hold of one as it shot at its target, sending her his direction even faster than if she were to run at him. As he jumped up in an attempt to dodge this attack, she smirked as it followed and shot up in a 60 degree angle, taking Anna with it as it continued to aim at him. She breathed hard as she kept the time in her head as to when this attack would run out. With 5 seconds to spare, till the vine becomes useless, she took this opportunity and didn't want to waist it. As Jack focused on escaping the vine, Anna preformed another attack and within the second, Pieces of microscopic, diced grass lifted with the wind, carrying up into the sky with her and Jack, as it passed them, he yelped with pain as one brushed against his face and his health bar shrunk. The 5 seconds was over and Anna let go of the vine as it was now useless and falling to the ground below, along with her. She landed on her feet and dashed toward Jack as he reacted with all the speed he had in him and was successful on not allowing another one of those things hit him. He allowed himself to fall to the ground and with one sweep, a large gust of icey wind froze them all, increasing the weight and forcing them to the ground but while doing so he was distracted, once more, for that mere second but that was all she needed. She jumped up lightly JUST as his feet hit the ground and before he knew it, he had a shin to the face and his body was sent flying till it hit a tree. Another chunk of his health gone. When he gained his posture, they stood face to face, panting lightly at a safe distance. All Anna could do was smirk.

Elsa stood in shock at the actions taken place. It had only been a minute and all of this happened within the time frame of 60 seconds. At the chip of Jacks health, the crowd went nuts. They screamed and clapped as if their life depended on it and within the next minute, Elsa would see why.

"CHECKPOINT! FIRST STRIKE GOES TO ANNA?"

"This is what makes this game so cool when it comes to PVP." Elsa looked to the voice coming from beside her. Kristoff spoke and explained as She watched Anna stand in thought, thinking over what to do next. "In Lyrev arena, the match has 3 checkpoints. One is when you get the first hit, which Anna just did. The player that lands first hit gets an added bonus skill, something that gives them an upper-hand for a certain time frame. It can be anything; Increase in speed for 20 minutes, an extra element for the time frame of 5 minutes, or maybe another weapon they can use for 10 minutes. The second checkpoint is whoever gets the others heath-gauge to the halfway mark. When this happens, the player that has their gauge at half FIRST, has to give up their element for 5 minutes. This is when hand to hand combat will come in handy and a good chance to finish the game. " He said. He didn't finish so Elsa tilted her head in a confused manor.

"And the third?" She asked.

"Oh, right. Well no one gets to the third. No one has since the game started. Jack is ALWAYS the winner and if you aren't dead on first couple attacks, he finishes you when the second checkpoint comes around. Every time." He mumbled.

"So what happens at the third checkpoint?" Elsa mumbled, looking back to the arena.

"Well, if you get that far, every arena has its...kick... to it. A big advantage to the person that gets that far" Kristoff started off.

"Whats the 3rd checkpoint and what is the advantage?"

"The third checkpoint is more of a finishing blow. It goes to the one that gets their Ultimate charged up first. Throughout the match you have a bar in the far off corner of your viewing screen, with every attack/combo you hit your opponent with, it crawls up more and more. When it's filled, the player can unleash their ultimate skill which does major damage on his/her opponent."

"So the first hit sets the bar for the whole match..." Elsa mumbled.

"Pretty much but don't count out Jack just yet. He's been doing this longer than Anna, not only does he have the special element, this arena is his home. He's fought in every setting and despite reaching the 3rd checkpoint or not, he's researched, like most who are smart enough to when challenging him, to know what the arenas special kicks are if someone DOES reach that third checkpoint."

"Right, so what is this arena's kick?" Elsa asked.

"You see how the grass is super tall? Its because its suppose to hide the blue fog that activates if the third checkpoint is reached. The player that gets the advantage on their side isn't effected but if it touches its victim, its an automatic loss because just a single touch against your skin poisons you. It's suppose to eat the body from the inside out till there's nothing left. But like I said, no ones ever seen the stages final checkpoint" Elsa turned to Anna at the final word and with even more worry building up in her heart.

Anna took her last deep breath and nodded softly to herself. She knew exactly what she was going to and the first checkpoint was going to put her even further in the game. She stepped up from her stance and watched Jack do the same after realizing that she was about to make her decision. Anna stared at the list of options in front of her and with a couple taps she had made her choice and smirked to him, dismissing the window and waiting for her choice to settle in.

"Don't let it get to you " Jack said "You're already a big enough air head as it is"

"Yeah? Well you wanna tell that to my shin?" She smirked with him.

"Fair enough" He said.

"CHECKPOINT UPGRADE" The lady stated, raising a hand and shooting a white light from her fingertips that passed through the barrier of the dome and once in contact with Anna, lighting her up for a moment, giving her a white glow before disappearing. "YOU HAVE THIS UPGRADE FOR 5 MINUTES, THE TIMER STARTING AS SOON AS YOU MAKE ANY TYPE OF MOVEMENT" everyone listened as they waited for a male voice to announce her new upgrade.

"Player, Anna, obtained new element: Fire" Everyone gasped and Jack couldn't help but to laugh.

"Really Anna? What are we? level 9?" He joked, referring to the guy from the night before, knowing he had to be watching. Anna got in her stance and Jack got in his as she responded.

"Something like that"

And like that they were off again, dashing at one another faster than anyone's ever seen in this arena. As they inched closer, Anna's hands were engulfed with fire and Jacks hands had a gust of wind surrounding his, it moved so fast it was was if it was a ball of air gathered around his whole hand but with one punch it could freeze you solid. Once she was close enough she dropped to the ground, the moment her hands come in contact with the grass, a ring formed around him and herself with flame stretching taller than them. A distraction, hopes that he would turn to look at the flames that enclosed them in the tiny circle of which they stood. She wasn't done within seconds she preformed a full 360 with an extended right leg in hopes of tripping him but he jumped it, indicating that the distraction of flame didn't work, and while he was landing he grunted and pulled his right fist back in hopes of punching her into the ground but that also failed. She rolled and stood to her feet, dodging the punch like he dodged her kick but they didn't rest. As soon as she was on her feet she pushed from the ground and was headed right back at him. He stood to his feet and allowed her to close the gap and once she though she was close enough to him, she sent her fist flying to his face with enough speed and force to send him flying through the flames if connected. Her eyes widened seconds later when he swerved to the left, He dodged her punch swiftly and with one motion he was now behind her. She had no time to gather her balance after stopping herself and knowing his, he kicked her into the very same flames that she set up and watched her health gauge get knocked down to where they were now even.

She pulled herself together and looked up, watching the circle of flames dim, as he got closer and closer to its edge, until it was no more and the ground was covered with frost. She hated that she didn't see that coming and was foolish enough to get hit by her own element. It was the most embarrassing thing a player can come across, is getting hit with the very thing you strive to strengthen and help grow into something amazing. Of course fire wasn't her element but it was still embarrassing to be hit by the very thing you attacked with. She shook her head, she couldn't allow her health bar to go down anymore than what it already is. He has leveled the playing field and that made her nervous. Once started off with a mere walk turned into a run. He was coming for her and with a hard stance, she was ready. Her hands were engulfed with fire once more and she nodded after figuring out her next move. She stood in place and with a single gesture, roots shot from the ground with a sharped spear like end and darted from each end of the dome and headed his direction. Jack smirked, jumping up as it came closer, he jumped off it then jumped off the next and continued to dash at her once back on the ground. Her roots now stuck in place where they failed to strike him. She did the same and more roots shot from the ground under him, he jumped to the side and dodged that one and more came from his left, he jumped over that one and by that time he was already within attack range. Her roots now stuck in place above the ground. He jumped up and with a 360 spin, he extended his staff and shot out another Icey spear at her, she backfired with a large fire ball that swallowed the spear till it turned to water that put out said fire and created a puddle on the ground. With each spear he sent after her, she repeated her deflect attack and made her way to him. As she closed the gap between them, Jack stayed where he was, staff gripped tightly in hand. With another command, he smirked and watched as multiple vines shot from every direction and directed at them. While they were in flight she send a punch his way with fists of fire, with each punch she sent, he managed to block it with one arm and then block the next, she jumped back and with one back flip and an extended leg, she aimed to send the tip of her foot against his chin but, like predicted, she smirked when he jumped back to dodge it, setting him right where she wanted. He was now in the middle of the roots that she aimed to jab him with from before, the rooms that were hard in place above ground, still (for now). The vines had reached the middle of the field but before it could do what she wanted, Anna stood to her feet and with another command, the roots began to move and shoot at him once more.

"Crap" He mumbled. He was now distracted once more and it was perfect because he had no time to dodge her next attack. The vines engulfed the Ice prince till he was trapped in a ball of green and within milliseconds, the roots that moved again wrapped around the vines to harden the ball. She stood her ground and took in a deep breath, 10 seconds left till her extra element was up she took every last drop of mana she had left and shot fire from both hands, the fire catching to the vines and wood, creating an even bigger fireball that used the leafs and wood ,that held the base of the fire, to feed it and watch it grow even more so. She jumped back as the fire that surrounded her fists disappeared, a buzzard going off, indicating that her time was up. The giant ball of fire grew in size, the flames stretching in length as Anna drank some Mana potions till it was fully restored. She had to make it last because she couldn't take another till 10 minutes from now. She wiped the corner of her mouth as she backed up from the fire, going through her head as to what to do next and why he wasn't attempting to free himself but she realized why when her foot stepped in a puddle

The moment her foot landed in that small body of water it froze solid and thick around her ankle and foot and grew in size, slowly crawling up her leg. She panicked and struggled to free herself but the more she struggled the faster the ice seemed to grow. She looked up as the sounds of crackling flames seized and when she looked up, the whole ball of fire turned to a ball of hard, solid, ice then shattered into a million pieces. Pieces of sharp ice shooting in every direction, mostly in hers, cutting her up till she raised her hand and a wood made wall shielded her from the attack. She looked up at her health gauge and cursed herself as she was almost down to the halfway mark. The second checkpoint. She looked down at the Ice that trapped her, it had now gathered around her leg and crawled up to her knee. She panted and the sounds of ice, hitting the wood, stopped. She readied herself and had to stood an attack the very moment this shield went down. She nodded and the second the shield disappeared she spotted Jack, running at her with his staff ready. He jumped up and did another 360 spin, An Ice spear shooting at her. At the same time, she was quick to react and a root shot up from the ground under him.

"ANNA!" Elsa shouted from the sidelines, Her voice grabbed the attention of Anna and Jack. Jack stopped running upon noticing the black armor and eyes widened.

"Thats the girl from level 9...Anna knows-"

"Els-"

A large buzzard was heard throughout the arena and cheers echo'd. The door reappeared and shot open, indicating that the match was over as soon as the health bars hit zero. Elsa watched and replayed the scene in her head, the spears of Ice and wood hit their target at the exact same time, draining both gauges to zero and bringing the game to an end.

"A DRAW ONCE MORE!" The lady shouted. Elsa ran through the doors, with Kristoff, and to the middle of the arena where there was the two opponents lying on the floor under the large golden chest. Coins cashed out to both victors, the reward of 1 million gold pieces each.

"Anna.." Elsa said, taking her sister into her arms, staring at her lifeless sister. Seconds later, Elsa's eyes widened as she watched two NPC women appear above the dead opponents. Both were dressed in white gowns that were longer than them, it appeared as if they had no feet at all. They had pale skin and white hair with bright green eyes. Elsa looked at her sister glow green then turned to Jack as he glowed a baby blue color and within seconds both were revived with a health gauge at half for each. Anna batted her eyes and groaned as she held her chest where the invisible wound was. Jack sat up and let out a grunt as well, holding his stomach where his invisible wound was.

"Did I win?" Anna asked.

"Technically" Kristoff said. Anna smiled at the look of the black haired male.

"Kristoff. You came to watch?" She asked. Kristoff blushed and turned his head away, rubbing the back of his neck. It made Anna smile happily. Elsa released her sister, allowing her to sit up. Jack opened his inventory window and noticed the gold count go up. He closed it and stood to his feet, taking hold of his staff and remembering the hooded female was here.

"Its you" He said. Anna's and Kristoffs attention spiked as they gathered that Elsa and Jack knew each other. Anna grew very nervous as Elsa stood to her feet with guilt clouding her overall being.

"Y-yeah..." She said softly. Her heart stopped as she put two and two together. The male she met with last night, the man she dreamed about and the one that stood before her, handsome as when she first seen him, was the Ice Master that Anna warned her of. Jack approached her with his staff on his shoulder but as he got closer, she stepped back. "I..." She paused, not knowing what to say to him now that she knew. Everything was changed. She couldn't talk to easily with him like she wanted to, last night. She looked down then back up at him.

She was just as beautiful as when he seen her last night. Even with her mask over her face and her hood covering her head, her eyes alone were striking. How could it be that someone so careless and carefree, like Anna, had any association with someone so poise and careful, quiet and overall cautious about everything. He didn't think that much into it. He wanted to know her more though but as he approached her, she backed away. As expected upon reviewing the reasons why. He watched Anna stand to her feet and tug at Elsa's arm.

"Come on Elsa.." She said softly. Jack smirked and shrugged at Anna's sudden defense over this hooded female. He smiled as they walked from the dome.

"Elsa..." He mumbled.
