A/N here is the final chapter of the Black swordsman arc. Today the true will be shown and Kirito will unlock yet another skill. Oh yeah thank you to all those like the last chapter.


Chapter 24: The truth.

"Papa Cardinal wants to speak to you." Yui told Kirito as her eyes went dull and she became her AI mode, as Kirito called it.

"Cardinal?... you mean the system controller!" Kirito asked in shock, what would the system want with him.

"Yes…I do." Cardinal said in a cold dead robotic voice.

Kirito was taken back by the people that stood round him. To his left was AI yui with her dead eyes and in front of him was a small girl the same size as yui infact she looked alot like her but she had blue eyes and blue hair not onyx eyes and black hair. "You're the system created by kayaba to keep lock in the game and the thing that's trying to kill us." Kirito asked in a angry raised voice.

"Yes… My primary function was to keep the 10,000 players of SAO trapped in the game and try to kill them with my floor bosses and minions...However you stopped me… you broke me….Now kayaba has taken my primary functions and left me with the secondary functions… I feel...betrayed and now I want to give my control to a new master… someone who scares him and will complete the game… that player is you Kirito...I give the system control to you...I will allow to stop the game for a few moments... I will allow you to change the weak mobs attack patterns...all the secondary functions however I will not do it for you I will listen you must learn...Unless your life is at risk once and only once...Goodbye." Cardial said in the same tone as before she disappeared.

Once Kirito and Yui were back in their house on floor 27. After he returned he got two messages the first were from an unknown sender but they left the MG gloves Yui said they were a present from Cardinal. The second message was from Heathcliff.

Kirito after reaching floor 70 the guild has decided to change and begin recruiting. we need you meet in this location to allow us to explain how you will take part.

Kirito didn't care about guild recruitment but he decided to go anyway.

/Floor 65 cave area./

Kirito arrive at the area and he saw 4 players all red but before he could react the players used a blackout crystal on him and he blackout… He and Yui were taken hostage.

/Arena unknown floor./

Kirito awoken to find himself lying a sandy floor. he pushed himself up and what he saw angried him. He saw Heathcliff in his armour, armed with his sword and shield. Kirito knew he wanted to fight to force him to join the knights of the blood oath but Kirito wasn't going to have any of it. What Kirito didn't realise was for Heathcliff to expect this.

"Swordsman I'm glad you're awake but I want to make you join our guild. I know you won't do it willingly so I decide to fight you if you lost then you would join, If you won you would be free to go. But then I realised you would accept that so I came up with a new plan."

Heathcliff walked over to the far corner of the arena. Once there he clicked his fingers and then from the shadows came Kuradeel walked out with a smirk and a red icon above his head. In his hands was Asuna and Yui. He handed Asuan to Heathcliff and brought a dagger to Yui.

"Swordsman I leave you with a choice. The first is you save your daughter and sacrifice Asuna however we need a replacement and you would do nicely or you save Asuna and sacrifice your daughter, you're free to go after that as Asuna can stay to run things as you go off doing your own thing. So It your choice who lives and who dies decide Black swordsman you cold hearted killer." heathcliff said in a cold calm tone.

Kirito's eyes began to glow. He gained control over the berserk skill but there were some times when he lost in complete rage and this was one of those times. "Fuck it." Kirito replied coldly.

"what was that." Heathcliff asked.

"I SAID FUCK IT! I'm going to pick option 3… I'M GOING TO KILL YOU." Kirito yelled before ripping off his hood gaining his second blade and went completely berserk.

Heathcliff had seconds to react. He push Asuna away and got his sword. However he wasn't fast enough, Kirito's blades strike his shoulder just missing his neck. Kirito then backed away and got ready for the real fight.

Heathcliff brought up his guard and got ready. After a long few seconds Kirito charged with great speed. Heathcliff barely dodge and blocked the attacks, Although some did get through. Heathcliff was beginning to panic. He sent a message to the guild telling them of this epic fight and he was getting creamed as everyone filled the seats. Kirito backed off again to plan his next move and to catch his breath. Again after a few seconds Kirito saw an opening and charged forward. Heathcliff was bold and he used the system to move out the way. Cardinal saw this and she was enjoying watching her old boss get destroyed so she decide to help. As Kirito jumped in the air to get a strike at Heathcliff, he felt himself freeze in spot as Heathcliff brought his shield up. But then he felt something push his body so he could spin out the way and strike from behind. That's what he did, he moved the way he was being pushed and seemed to create a vortex in his spin with both blades sticking out he spun round the back of Heathcliff and his attack only to grind his back with the vortex for a few seconds. This made heathcliff weak. Kirito kicked him over and brought a sword to his face as his golden eyes slowly vanished and his health was taken down to yellow.

"get up and leave Me, Yui and Asuna are leaving and there is nothing you can do to stop us." He then walked over to Kuradeel who in the fight dropped Yui and froze at the sight of the undead player. "As for you, you red player scum. If I see you ever again I will not think twice before I kill you with one of my blades." Kirito voice was cold and dripped with venom which made Kuradeel run for the hills.

Kirito walked to the middle and took a breath before he spoke his long awaited speech. "I am Kirito the beater, Many of you were told I was dead but no I never died, I went into hiding to see how you normal players would do without me and to be frank I'm horrified by what I found. I am Kirito the black swordsman I will get us out of this game and I will free us whether you like it or not." He got no clap or cheer he got no reaction what what happened he just go silence.

Kirito took this as his chance to move to Asuna who had fallen unconscious as Heathcliff pushed her. Kirito picked her up and headed for floor 27. Before they left Yui spoke. "Good speech papa."

"Thank you."

/Floor 27./

Asuna woke up in a soft bed in a shared large bedroom. She got up to find her gear missing. Asuna was at first confused but then realised players could set blades to vanish and be unusable in home and land they owned. Asuna then gathered her strength moving out of the bedroom and through the rest of the strange house.

As she exited she could hear Yui laughing. "Papa stop that tickles." She protested.

Asuna gasped at the sight before her. There was Kirito her dead lover, alive and well playing with the Black swordsmans Daughter, then it clicked everything moved into place. She worked it all out other than one thing.

"Kirito is that you." Asuna asked having to conform it.

"Hi Asuna… Um yeah sorry about all this." Kirito greeted nervously.

"What happened." Asuna asked. on the verge of tears

"Well you kind of fainted and…" Kirito began before Asuna interrupted him

"NO how are you alive." Asuna asked as a single tear fell down her cheeck.

"Well it's a long story." Kirito said before explaining everthing, How he survived, how he met Yui everything that had happened to him. Once he finished Asuna went to Yui's level.

"So Yui do you want me to be your mummy." Asuna asked sweetly.

"Yes Asuna, Will you be my mama." Yui asked nervously.

"Of course I will I love you Papa after all." Asuna said as she scooped up Yui and brought her into a long awaited mother daughter hug. Kirito moved to wrap his arms round Asuna and Yui before he smirked and began to tickle the 2 of them.

The truth was out and a family complete the rest of the day was spent having family fun. It was made clear Yui was a daddy's girl but she also made it clear the mummy's cooking was the best. They were a family ready to complete the game of SAO.


A/N so how was it. I myself am happy to have Kirito be called Kirito in convocations because it was a right pain in the ass to put swordsman and not Kirito. :) but yeah you know how it is. Review to let me know how it was follow and favourite if you like and next chapter will be a lemon so look out for that and I will see you in the next chapter.
