"Are you ready Lis? This will be your first boss correct?" Optimus asked. "Yes. But I know that if I'm in trouble, you'll come save me." Lisbeth said, smiling. "Well, let us proceed on opening it." Optimus said. The two opened the door to find that the room was as dark as night. Optimus unsheathed his dual swords and his battle mask, while Lisbeth pulled out her strongest mace. "I do not see anything." Optimus said, walking into the room a bit. "Wait." Lisbeth said. "Do not worry. My intentions are not to go that far into the room. Plus, if we do not get a good observation on this boss, it will be very difficult to plan out anything for an attack strategy." Optimus said. "You're right, but..." Lisbeth was then cut off by a blue flame that randomly lit up. Then more blue flames lit up across the room, showing a very tall figure. It was the boss. It looked like a blue goat that could stand up on two legs and had blue eyes. "By Primus." Optimus said. He then saw that the bosses name was "Gleam eyes". The boss had four life bars and it was holding a giant ultra greatsword. Gleam eyes lifted up his giant greatsword and roared very loudly, making Lisbeth run and scream to the top of her lungs. "Lisbeth!" Optimus called. He then ran himself, trying to catch up with her.
The couple finished running, sitting down against a pillar. "That won't be easy to beat with just the two of us." Lisbeth said. "Indeed it will not. That sword of his will do a high amount of damage to us, plus my guess is that boss will do special attacks as well." Optimus said, sheathing back his swords and battle mask. "We would have to assemble the tank players and have them switch often." Lisbeth said. "And we will need ten shieldsman at best." Optimus said. "Shields, huh?" Lisbeth asked. "What is it, Lisbeth?" Optimus asked. "Why don't you be one of those shieldsman?" Lisbeth asked. "I do not have any shields in my inventory, plus I feel more efficient in battle with my dual wielding." Optimus said. "Well whatever. It is rude to pry about people's skills." Lisbeth said. "Thank you for understanding, Lis." Optimus said, giving her a kiss. "No problem. Let's have a late lunch." Lisbeth said. "Oh, good. I am quite famished." Optimus said, smiling. Lisbeth pulled out a small basket and it showed a few sandwiches. Optimus couldn't help but stare at the delicious food. "Hey doofus, my eyes are up here." Lisbeth said, sounding a tad irritated. "I am sorry. It is just... you food is so good, I cannot help but to stare at the food that you create." Optimus said, making Lisbeth blush. "O-Oh. Th-Thank you." Lisbeth stammered. "Here you go." Lisbeth said, handing Optimus a Sandwich. "Thank you." Optimus said. He took a big bite and loved the taste of the vegetables and meat that was in it, along with the sauces in it. "It is delicious." Optimus said, taking more bites out of the food and making Lisbeth smile.
"How did you create these flavors?" Optimus asked. "It's the result of a year's worth of practice and study. I made it after analyzing how it taste simulating engine processed the parameters of the 100 or so different seasoning I found in Aincrad. These are Grogwa seeds, Shubur leaves and Kalim water." Lisbeth said, pulling out a bottle with a green liquid and pouring some on Optimus' hand for him to taste. "What is this flavor?" Optimus asked. "It's called 'Mayonnaise'." Lisbeth said. "Mayonnaise." Optimus said. "This one has Abilpa beans, sag leaves and Oola fish bones." Lisbeth said, pulling out a bottle with purple liquid in it and pouring it on Optimus' hand. Optimus drinks it and is very surprised by the taste. "It is very good, what is it?" Optimus asked. "It's called 'Soy sauce' I used these two sauces for the sandwiches." Lisbeth said. "It is perfect. It is amazing!" Optimus said. "I was thinking about selling my foods later on in the future, seeing as how it's so good." Lisbeth said. "I would disagree, Lis." Optimus said. "Why's that?" Lisbeth said. "There would not be any for me." Optimus said. Lisbeth blinked. "You're such a pig, doofus." Lisbeth said. "Only because your food is very delicious." Optimus retorted. "I guess, but I don't mind if you're my pig." Lisbeth said, smiling, making Optimus chuckle at that. The two then heard a portal being open and Optimus and Lisbeth stood at the ready.
"Man I'm tired. Let's finally sit down here and-" The man stopped, noticing an old friend. "Ooh, Optimus! It's been too long!" The man said. "Klein, It is good to see you old friend." Optimus said, shaking Klein's hand. "What the hell's a solo player doing with a girl- what's this?" Klein asked, looking at Lisbeth. "You must know him, but I shall introduce you anyway. Lisbeth, this is Klein, from the guild 'Fuurinkazan'. Klein, this is Lisbeth, she is my girlfriend and she is also one of the greatest blacksmith in this game. Klein? Klein what is wrong? Is your connection giving you trouble?" Optimus asked, waving his hand in front of Klein's face. "Optimus, you sly bastard you!" Klein said, wrapping his arm around Optimus' neck. "I do not follow." Optimus said. "You got yourself a girl! And a cute one at that." Klein said, making Lisbeth blush. "Watch yourself, Klein." Optimus warned. "I'm only complimenting Prime, that's all!" Klein said, waving his hands back and forth like he didn't do anything. Then a small militarized army were walking towards Optimus and the group. "Is that... the front?" Lisbeth asked. "That's the giant guild that took over the first floor. What are they doing up here?" Klein wondered. The arm then stopped walking and the leader faced his men. "At ease!" The leader shouted. His army sat down, panting like crazy. The leader then walked over to Optimus' group. "I'm Lieutenant Colonel Korvatz of the Aincrad Liberation Front." Korvatz said. "My name is Optimus Prime." Optimus said. "Sure it is, have you cleared the area ahead?" Korvatz asked. "Yes, we also have mapped out the location." Optimus said. "Great, then hand it over." Korvatz said. "What?! You want him to just give it to you? Do you know how much of a pain in the ass it is to map?!" Klein asked. "Klein. Enough." Optimus said. "But Prime..." Klein said. "I was already planning to hand it to the people in the game so that way they know where to go. Were you planning to do the same, Korvatz?" Optimus asked. "Yes, and without having to charge people." Korvatz said. "Then it is settled." Optimus said, giving Korvatz the map. "Thank you for your cooperation." Korvatz said, turning around. "If you are suggesting on fighting this boss, it would be best to not pursue this monster." Optimus said. "That is for me to decide." Korvatz said. "We just looked in the boss room. It is not a boss you can take on with a small amount of players. And to add, your men look exhausted." Optimus said. "My men are not weaklings who'd be done in from simple exhaustion! All of you, up on your feet!" Korvatz yelled. His men slumped back up and started following Korvatz again.
"I wonder if they will be alright?" Optimus asked. "I doubt they'd really take on the boss without some sort of plan." Lisbeth said. "Let us go to make sure." Klein suggested. "Agreed." Optimus said. Optimus lead the group on, while Klein and Lisbeth were lagging behind. "Lisbeth, even though Prime is... different than us, please take good care of him. I see that he loves you a whole lot." Klein said. "Okay. Leave it to me!" Lisbeth said, smiling. "Hey Prime. Let me talk to you for a sec!" Klein called, running towards Prime. As the group walked on, fighting a small amount of enemies. "Is this all? I guess there's only the boss room left." Klein shrugged. The group then heard a loud scream coming from ahead. "Let us go! Those men will die!" Optimus shouted, running ahead. "Right!" Everyone else said, following Prime quickly. They had reached the boss room, finding some of Korvatz men being taken down by Gleam eyes. "Are you all alright?!" Optimus asked loudly. The men looked at Optimus and before even speaking, Gleam eyes' greatsword slammed down, taking more of the men. "Use you teleportation crystals!" Optimus ordered. "We can't! The crystals aren't working!" One of the men said. "None of the boss rooms had that kind of trap before." Lisbeth said. Optimus then remembered that one room where his old guild and himself were in that room and Optimus was the only one that survived the room. Optimus closed his eyes and shook his head. "We of the liberation front do not know the meaning of the word 'Retreat'! Come on men! Keep fighting!" Korvatz shouted, pointing his sword at Gleam eyes. "That fool!" Optimus said. "Damn, this is bad!" Klein said. "If we rush in and attack the boss, it may be possible to open an escape route for them." Optimus said. "Then what are we waiting for?!" Klein shouted.
Gleam eyes' eyes truned blue and shot a purple blast out of its mouth and took out more of Korvatz men. It then slashed its sword, hitting Korvatz and sending him flying towards Optimus. "Korvatz! Hang in there, soldier!" Optimus said. Then Korvatz helmet turned into shards, showing Korvatz face which was ridden with fear. Optimus' eyes widened and then he closed his eyes and held korvatz' hand. "Be at peace, comrade. Rest." Optimus said, knowing that Korvatz was going to die. "Thank you, Prime. Please... save my men from that God forsaken monster. Please." Korvatz pleaded. "It shall be done, my friend." Optimus said. Korvatz then turned into shards, never to seen again. Lisbeth hugged Optimus from behind and shed a few tears. But then, she heard something unsheathe from Optimus and also heard something being put on Optimus' face. "Sweetie?" Lisbeth asked. "Lis. I love you. With all my spark." Optimus said. He then charged into the fray. "OPTIMUS!" Lisbeth shouted. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Optimus shouted, turning his whole body turn red. Gleam eyes truned and everybody else looked up to see an extremely tall Optimus Prime. "Now die." Optimus said plainly. He rammed into Gleam eyes and punched him hard in the face, seeing some teeth break off. Gleam eyes roared and scratched Optimus on the chest, leaving a mark on him, but faded away after a few seconds. Optimus then grabbed Gleam eyes and threw him across the room. "All of you, run out of the room and heal yourselves. NOW!" Optimus shouted. The men ran as fast as they could and got out of the room. Optimus then pulled out both of his blades. "He can... dual wield?" Klein asked. Optimus charged once again at Gleam eyes. He stabbed him in the chest, earning a screech from Gleam eyes. Gleam eyes then kicked Optimus off of him and slashed his greatsword down on Optimus' right shoulder. Optimus took this as an advantage and held Gleam eyes' sword and pulled it away from him. "NOW! STARBURST STREAM!" Optimus shouted. Everybody saw him make a flurry of attacks, which made Gleam eyes fall to his knees. Optimus walked back a few steps, grabbed Gleam eyes' greatsword, and dragged it towards Gleam eyes. "RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!" Optimus roared, slashing down on Gleam eyes' head and cut him in two. Everyone was in awe of Optimus' awesome power. Optimus then received a congratulation from the game and leveled up to 92. He then also noticed that his health was only a sliver, he got on his knees and then passed out.
"...timus." A woman's voice called in a muffled tone. "Optimu..." The woman said again, but in clearer voice. "Optimus!" The woman shouted. Optimus opened his eyes and it showed Lisbeth putting his head on her lap. "Lis...beth." Optimus said. "Oh sweetie! You're ok! Thank God! Doofus, you're such an Idiot!" Lisbeth said in relief, kissing her lover on his battle mask. "How long have I been out?" Optimus asked. "Only 10 minutes. You returned to your regular size when you passed out." Lisbeth said. "I see. How are Korvatz men?" Optimus asked. "They are alright. Only seven made it out of the 25, including Korvatz as you know." Klein said. "I see. Thank you, Klein." Optimus said, unsheathing his battle mask and weapons. "Since when could you dual wield?" Klein asked. "I have known this information for a while now. I would have only have used it for emergencies back then, but now I use it on a regular basis." Optimus said. "Then how about when you turned into a giant did you know about that?" One of Klein's men asked. "That I did not know. I didn't even realize it till now. What is your name, friend?" Optimus said. "This is my friend, Telron. We've known each other since we were kids." Klein said, smiling and wrapping his arm around his friend. "But Prime. Was that your actual size? If I remember correctly, you told me that you were 28 feet tall." Klein said. "You are correct. That was my actual size in real life." Optimus said. "You're 28 feet tall?!" Lisbeth asked. "Yes." Optimus said. Lisbeth's eyes widened. "Will this... be a complication... for you?" Optimus asked. Lisbeth closed her eyes and took a thought. But then she remembered something. 'Please take good care of him. I see that he loves you a whole lot.' Klein's wisest words to say to her. Lisbeth smiled and kissed Optimus romantically and deeply. "Nope. Remember, I'm your sparkmate. I don't treat that lightly, doofus." Lisbeth said, smiling. Optimus then smiled and hugged Lisbeth. "Lisbeth, I want to ask you something. This is a new thing to me, due to Klein just telling me earlier. Lisbeth, I love you, nothing shall ever alter that in my spark. I shall cherish you and the love you give to me. I wish to ask you..." Optimus pulled a beautiful Diamond ring and held it with his big fingers. Lisbeth's eyes watered, she knew what he was going to ask. "Will you marry me?" Optimus asked. Lisbeth kneeled down with Optimus and kissed him on the lips. "Yes. I will marry you. I love you so much." Lisbeth said. Optimus smiled and hugging and kissing Lisbeth, feeling what it's truly like to be human. "Where'd you get the ring?" Lisbeth asked. "I got it for him!" Klein said with a hint of pride. "I owe you for that, Klein. I thank you for teaching me things about this planet." Optimus said. "You don't need to. I tell ya, when I see you do the stuff you do, Prime. It does my heart good to be your friend." Klein said, smiling. "As it does mine, my friend." Optimus said. "Anyways, I gotta go. I'll be seeing you Oprimus." Klein said. "Goodbye, Klein. I hope we meet again soon." Optimus said. Klein then walked along with his guild and left the floor. "Well, let us get home shall we?" Optimus asked. "Of course... my husband." Lisbeth said.
