The Choice

Gun Gale Online

Kira and the others regrouped and tried to find where Yusai left.

"Why did she want Yusai" said Asuna in a worried tone.

"I have no idea...but I have a bad feeling it's involving what Yusai has" said Kirito.

"What do you mean" said Akeno with confusion.

"Remember..(flashback: demon form)...she was the one that changed him to a demon and she used Max to get him here." Said Kirito.

"So what do you think she is going to do with him." Said Asuna in a worried tone.

"Probably something bad" said Kirito.

"Hi...can you guys help me" said Issei. He was near Max who lost conscious. "We need to get him help" said Issei.

"Ya but how, the only way to get out here is in this Pillar." Said Ria's.

"Uh there's another way" said Kirito.

"What" said Akeno.

"I have a card that can teleport to the real world" said Kirito show the card.

"So you can take him to the hospital" said Issei.

"Ya but.." Said Kirito Scratching his neck.

"You want to help Yusai." Said Asuna. Kirito nodded.

"So we need someone to take him to the hospital and the rest of us could search for Yusai." Said Akeno. There was no volunteers until… " OK, I'll do it but you guys(looking at Issei and Ria's) better come home safe" said Akeno. They nodded. Then Kirito went near her and Max and activated the card and then they disappeared.

"Alright that takes care of Max but how about Yusai." said Kirito putting the card away.

"Don't worry….while you guys were talking I started to search for Yusai's power energy but it took me longer than I thought.. Must because of the darkness (frowning)..inside him" said Kira.

"But did you find him" said Ria's.

"Ya..(staring up) he's above us" said Kira.

"So we have to reach the top" said Issei.

"OK then let's go" said Kirito. Then everyone began heading up stairs.

Roof

"Where..I'm…I" said Yusai standing. Tied with black chains. He started to move. "What..ugh..who did this". Then he sensed someone. "It's you..who are you". Looking at the women in front of him.

"My name is Sapphire " said Sapphire smiling at him. She had dark purple hair. A good figure and her eyes were purple. She appears a few years older than Yusai.

"Where am I"

"You're on the roof of the Pillar"

"Why"

"So you can be sacrifice and be a the vessel of the dark Lord"

"Dark lord"

"Yes...by gathering a huge amounts of darkness...we can resurrect the dark lord"

"How can you get huge amounts of darkness "

"Well..from people's hatred, despair, pain, sorrow, anger,. These traits are in all humans and we just give them a boost...and from that they gain power"

"We...what do you mean..I just see you"

"No..I did not come up with the plan someone else did that wants the world to be full of darkness"

"..I don't sense any darkness around here...so how are you going to gather it if you don't have it"

"But I do...do you know why I brought you and the others here..in this game...this place his full of darkness...the people here or should I say the players can easily be consumed since there minds are here"

Yusai eyes widened and started to get angry.

"Why did you need me..whats so special about me!" Said Yusai in a cold tone.

"Because you have something dark deep inside that the dark lord needs..I don't know what exactly but I sensed a great dark power in you...plus you absorbed Max's darkness...that's makes you the perfect sacrifice"

Then she began to raise her hand. A huge magic circle appeared above them.

"Time to start…(closed her eyes)...come darkness..become good for the dark lord"

Yusai sensed a huge amounts of darkness coming everywhere. He tried to break free but Sapphire appeared in front of him. She touched his chest and markings started to appear.

"Time for you to take a long sleep"

"Uuughh" Yusai felt pain. Darkness was surrounding him then he saw darkness coming through the circle at him.

"No..I…(darkness entered him) uuughhh" said Yusai screaming.

The others reached to roof and heard Yusai scream.

"Yusai!" Yelled Kira. Everyone looked at Yusai and saw a huge amount of darkness entering him.

"Oh my god" said Ria's.

"We need to save him" said Asuna with widen eyes. Kira then ran towards him but was pushed back by a barrier.

"What..a barrier" said Kira getting up.

"We need to break through somehow" said Issei with his red claw out.

"This barrier.. (Touched the barrier)..there might be away to enter it" said Ria's. Everyone turned to her.

"What...how"

"People from a different race could enter" said Ria's and began to walk in the barrier with ease.

"What how can you go through it" said Kira with shock.

"I'm part devil and Issei can also go through since he's part devil too" said Ria's then Issei walked in.

"What you guys are devil's" said Kira

"Ya(Scratching his head)..sorry for not telling you sooner"

"So how are we gonna go through" said Kirito.

"You guys need to be a devil" said Ria's. Each of them started at each other then.

"But only one person can from the three of you" said Ria's.

"What" all three said.

"You should know I don't make people devil's..just cause...they need to be chosen by me...you see I belong to a royal family of devil's...I already have plenty of devil's in my side who I would risk my life for..I you to know that once I make you my devil...you will be loyal to me..your life's will be with me" said Ria's in a serious tone. Kirito and Asuna could not say anything but.

"Pick me" said Kira looking at her.

"I would gladly risk me life to save Yusai so please..chose me"

Ria's can see the determination in her eyes.

"You know that once you become a devil you can't go back being full human" said Ria's.

Kira closed her eyes and opened them.

"If I get to save Yusai then it will be worth it" said Kira.

"OK then..(walking near her)..I will begin." Said Ria's. Then a magic circle appeared under Kira.

"Uuuughh.. I can't hold on much longer dammit..I cant let it control me" thought Yusai trying to break free. He can feel the overwhelming darkness inside him. "its too much…" thought Yusai and his eyes had darkness in them. He stopped moving and the screams stopped.

He was motionless. The darkness was entering his body with him just standing with his eyes open.

"Guys I think it's…." Said Asuna but could say more. Tears started to pour out.

"It's done" said Ria's. Kira had devil wings pop out her back.

"We need to hurry...we will cover you Kira...I think your the only person to reach Yusai(looking at Yusai)..his mind is trapped in darkness..you need to break him free" said Ria's.

"Yes I will..I still have something important I have to tell him and I'm not just going to let him run away from me." Said Kira with determination in her eyes.

"OK then let's go Issei" said Ria's and summoned her wings. Issei did the same and all three started to run toward Yusai.

Ria's sensed something coming. "Look out!" Yelled Ria's. All three stopped and saw Sapphire blocking there way.

"Get out of our way" said Kira in a cold tone.

"I'm not going to let you interrupt the resurrection of the dark lord" said Sapphire and began to use magic.

"Go ahead Kira..(staring at Sapphire) ..me and Issei will take care of this bitch...so go save Yusai" said Ria's. Issei nodded to Kira then she nodded back and ran towards Yusai. Ria's and Issei then stared at Sapphire.

"You ready Issei" said Ria's.

"Yes. Ria's I will always stand beside you and protect you no matter what" said Issei. Ria's smiled and had a blush.

"This will be fun" said Sapphire and began to attack.

Yusai's mind.

Yusai Pov

It so dark….where am I…(started looking around)..hello anybody there...oh..no answer(began starting up)..like always.. I'm all alone...I feel tired..

"Grrrrrrrr" said a low growl

(Yusai heard it) who's there (began to stand up)

"Grrrrr" (He heard another growl) hello (walking he see's a bright red light) God it's hot...hello(then he was surrounded in crimson flames) what the hell(covering his eyes from the heat)

"Why is a pesky human here" said a deep angry voice.(he heard it but was not able to finnd the person who owns it until he looked up, his eyes widen)..what the hell are you( a giant figure was shadowed by the flames not being able to see it clearly )

"Rrrrroooaaaar!" A loud roar came from the figure.( he covered his ears and closed his eyes) uuuugggh.(then it stopped)

(He opened his eyes but)..how did I get here( he was standing in a white space)

"You're somewhere where it's easier to hear" said a female voice.

Uh..hello..who's there

"(Giggle) turn around" said the female voice in a cheerful tone.

(He turned and saw her, she had brown long hair that reaches her thighs, she had brown eyes, and wearing a orange dress with some red flowers at the bottom)

..who are you..

"What you don't remember"

(Yusai looked confused and tried to focus on her and then) (flashback )

{ "Mommy, Mommy, look what I found" said 7 year old Yusai holding a red flower to his mother. "Ah is that for me(smiling)" said Yusai's mother. "Ya" said Yusai smiling. Yusai's mother got the flower and hold it tight against her heart. "Thank you Yusai" said his mother and she brought him closed and kissed his head. " I love you..Yusai(echo)}(flashback ended)

( tear started fall from his cheek)... (tears started talking hard)

"Yusai its been awhile" said his mother coming closer to him and hugged him.

Roof

Kira was near Yusai but a strong force was keeping her away.

"I'm not going to let this stop me!...you hear me Yusai!..I'm not giving up on!..so don't give up!" Yelled Kira and began to charge but was pushed back. Then she summoned her wind sword and gathered has much wind that she needs. "Seems like being a devil has its perks" thought Kira when she sensed magic entering her sword. She was done charging up and ran towards Yusai and then used all her strength to cut the force. "Dammit,dammit...I need more power(her hair was covering her started falling on her cheeks) he's so close and yet so far(flash back of Yusai and the organization)..back at the organization you always do things alone..not letting anyone help you..I always think of you has the type of person who does not care about the people around him...I saw you has someone who wants power for selfish reasons like revenge...I always see you training alone and never taking a break...but when all of us went to our first mission together...you still had a barrier surrounding you..when we tried working together. You would always have a look in your face that shows that you don't care...you made me doubt that recruiting you was a mistake..but then when you were indanger we all tried to save you but then was caught..that's when your eyes changed..it looked surprised and bright..not like the other times..were it was dark and cold...that was when you changed your views on us and began to treat everyone has a friend..you saved our lives that day..that day was when I saw the real you hiding behind the darkness...and that's when I began admiring you...even though you do stupid things sometimes..you opened up your heart to us..but then you and me were sent to this place...something changed in you..when you told me that we were not going to be partnered up..I saw darkness in your eyes full of hate and anger...from then on you went back to your old self...I hated seeing you like that...it breaks my heart but then I saw you getting stabbed by death gun..my heart broke..I felt like I was alone in the world in darkness...that's when I knew..I was in love with you..it took me awhile but I found out my feelings after I thought you died...I was pissed that you were fine and faking it but you risked your life for a stranger who you just met and the reason you did that was because he was your friend..I was amazed on what you said..I thought it was stupid but at the same time I thought it was heroic and right...and when you came out and told me that were going out together..I was happy..but something in you had changed even though I got my Yusai back..you still had a barrier I could not see but then found out..after you turned demon I was scared of you.. I did not know what happen to you..that's why I had to force it out of you..but then you stared at me with those hateful eyes..I felt like I died..I tried holding back the tears but it hurt seeing you looking at me..it made me feel horrible...but then you began telling your story...I felt terrible making you tells us..I just wanted you to stop but I couldn't my heart felt like it was getting stabbed by a knife….I couldnt face you..I thought I made you hate me….but then you came to see me...but I was so scared that I could not saying anything instead of your name...then you told me that I was right for saying you're not worthy..I felt a pain in my heart..I resent saying that to you..but then you told me you're going to leave...me ..I just felt my heart shattered to pieces..I wanted to say don't go but...I couldn't...then after you left..I began to think about everything that happened and what I felt..and decided...I would leave the organization..will help you finding your memories..no matter the danger that lies in the future.. I was going to stay by you all they way...that's why I came for you because I decide..to spend the rest of my life with you...but now your being taken away from me before I could confess my feelings to you..I'm not going to let that happen..I will save you just like you saved Max…I will make you hear me and open your heart to me…(end of Flashback and thought)

"YUUSAAAIII!" Screamed Kira, breaking through the force with her sword.

Yusai's mind

"..mother but how?" Said Yusai looking at her.

"Yusai..you should know that we are not a normal family...your father was not born in my time" said Yusai's mother

"What do you mean"

"He was born in a time of ninjas called shinobi...he was from a clan called the Uzumaki clan..he was strong and had a great amount of energy in him"

"So how did you guys meet?"

"Well...I found him near my house I owned..laying on the floor with cuts...I bandaged him up..he was confused in where he was but then explained to me what happen to him...I couldn't believe him..it was just too weird and fake but then he should me what he can do...I pressured him to do more then we both began to talk to each alot..we argued alot..but then we fell in love..not shortly after I was pregnant with you...but then something happen he had to return to his time but then I told him I wanted to go..he tried talking my out of it..but with my 'ways' ..I went with him...that's when I met the Uzumaki clan it was surprising and interesting..I was greeted by everyone and I learned how to use chakira..then your father told me that the clan was going to be attack and wanted me to leave but I couldnt I wanted to stay and help him..and he conceded and I trained alot and was stronger and it took me a mouth but I still was movable since you were inside of me..then the clan for attack and we fought them off and it was over but many people risk their life's protecting the village but it was in ruins..things did not turn out great but then a neighboring village allowed the Uzumaki clan to join them and that's when the Uzumaki clan was extinct from history. Then me and your father decided to head back in my own time but we can never come back because the portal won't ever open. Your father did not care about that since he knew his clan or what's left of it is protected. He then came with me and we lived a happy life together and your father got use to normal life then it was almost time for you to be born but…." Said His mother with a frown and tears started to fall.

" but what...what's the matter" said Yusai.

" no..it's nothing...it's just I became a mother to you(smiling) you made me the happiest person alive just like your father.."

"..." Yusai was hugging her tightly.

"I love you..mother..please don't leave me" said Yusai crying on her shoulder.

"(Giggled) I love you too but there is also someone else that loves you has much has I do."

Yusai faces her. "Who"

"You know who..the one that opened your heart..she is fighting for you now...you need to let her in..you can't push her away"

"But…"

"No buts...you better tell her you love her and always protect her. You hear"

Yusai nodded.

"Good but now it's time for you to make a decision"

"What"

" I will use my chakra to separate you from the darkness but you have two options...one you get separated from the darkness but not all of it will be out if your system and the darkness will take form and will destroy anything in its way...and two you can be consumed by the darkness and let it control you and probably will hurt the people you care about..so which do you chose.."

It was hard for him to choose because both will lead to something harming his friends but decided that it's better for him to fight alongside them then being controlled.

"Option 1"

" OK then...remember this Yusai I will always be in your heart just like your father"

"Wait a minute you still haven't…."

"Sorry Yusai I must separate you before it's too late..so remember(she started to glow)..Your Yusai Uzumaki and me and your father will always watch over you...I love you(echo)" she vanished.

Yusai was crying.

"Don't worry mother..I will remember" said Yusai.

"YUSAI!" Then he heard a yell.

"Kira" aid Yusai smiling then he started to glow.

The roof

Kira got closer to Yusai.

"Yusai wake up( her right hand let go of the sword and was raising it to Yusai)...please come back to me….I…" said Kira then she noticed good chains coming from Yusai. It blind her. It was a golden light covering Yusai. Everyone saw the light and stopped what they were doing.

"What" said Sapphire in anger.

Light was surrounding Yusai then(slap). Kira felt a hand.

"KIRA!" Yelled Yusai. Kira then pulled him out hard and then they both fell on each other. Yusai on top and Kira at the bottom. They looked at each other and had blushes in their face.

"Hi" said Yusai smiling at her.

".. "said Kira holding back the tears. She saw her Yusai again.

Then he got off her and looked back he saw the darkness forming in to something.

" whats going on" said Kira.

"I separated from the darkness but now is transforming it self into something" said Yusai. Then the darkness transformed. When the darkness cleared away. Everyone had their eyes widen in shock.

" looks like things will get interesting" said the figure who looks just like Yusai.

"What there's two of them but how" said Asuna.

"Seems like the darkness taken form...that was unexpected but he does have pure dark energy in him so he will do" said Sapphire quietly. " there(looking at evil Yusai) what should we call you" said Sapphire loud.

"Hmmm(smirking) call me..slayer" said slayer.

" not work for me" said Sapphire.

"Sorry I don't work for people..I plan on doing this my way for now on(turning,his back facing everyone)see you later Yusai...I hope we meet again."said slayer and he vanished.

" hmph" said Sapphire in anger and then vanished.

Everyone started going toward Yusai since the barrier is off.

"Seems like she saved you" said Issei.

"Ya(looking at at Kira smiling) she did" said Yusai. Kira got a blush form his smile.

"Well seems like it's over now we should head back, Issei" said Ria's.

"Ya alright" said Issei. Then Kirito pulled out his card.

"Hope we get to meet again" said Ria's.

"Wait, Ria's I'm I" said Kira standing up.

"Don't worry Kira, I will call you when I need you but for now you should tell Yusai that thing you need to tell him" said Ria's with a teasing tone.

Kira was blushing and nodded. Kirito activated his card and they both vanished.

"Seems like it's our turn" said Kirito.

"Hi Kirito..can we come with you" said Yusai.

"Ya sure...from there we can tell you what you missed" said Kirito and then all four of them teleported out of Gun Gale Online.
