Hey everyone! Hope you're still reading. It's been a while, I know. I got sidetracked by a bunch of other projects, and my interest in Sword Art Online kinda plummeted after the recent season. But, I still want to finish this story, even if it looks really cringy right now. As a wise person once said, "Finish what you start."

And yes, I will get to my other fanfics.

Another day brought its usual challenges for Suguha. No, not monsters. School.

"Hey, Suguha-chan!" she saw Rika waving to her at the gate, alongside Keiko and Klein.

"Hey, guys!" Suguha ran over, her short hair waving in the wind.

"Things have been pretty quiet recently, huh?" said Klein. "Not one monster for the past week!"

"I know, right?" said Suguha. "Maybe Kayaba gave up."

"We can't be too sure!" Yui interrupted. "There's no telling what he's planning!"

As they discussed things, three pairs of eyes gazed at them from a nearby bush.

"Look! There's Yui!" said Yuuki.

"Those other girls must be the Users that Kayaba told us about," said Asuna.

"They don't look too strong. I bet they haven't even trained!" said Sinon, or more appropriately, Asada.

"We can't be too sure. We don't want to attack random students,"

"Man, the week really flew by," said Yuuki.

"Do you have the crystal?" said Asuna.

"Right here," said Asada. She took a blue crystal out of her back, like the ones that Johnny Black used.

"Good. Throw it in three… two… one!"

Asada tossed the blue crystal out of the bush, right next to Suguha. The object shattered, releasing a glowing blue light.

"What the…?" the four teens jumped back as the light grew in size, taking on the shape of a wolf. In a flash, a monstrous red wolf appearing in the school courtyard.

The wolf let out a low growl, attracting other students to its position.

"What the…?"

"It's a wolf! Everybody run!"

Within a few moments, the entire school was rushing out the gates, alongside the teachers. The wolf paid them no mind, it was entirely focused on Suguha and the others.

"Where the heck did that come from?" said Klein.

"Forget about that!" Kazuto ran over, phone in hand. "Link start!"

The wolf charged at the five of them. They drew their weapons, ready to fight.

"Sonic Slash!" Kirito slashed at the wolf…

...chopping the head off with a single slice. The severed head fell to the ground and vanished.

"That was… easy," said Rika. She lowered her gauntlet.

"Is Kayaba running out of money or something?" said Leafa. "Cause he is getting lazy as HECK!"

"Strange," said Kirito. "Well, guess we better log out before someone finds us."

"Hold on!" said Leafa. She quickly slid over to Kirito and flashed him a flirty grin. "We hardly ever get to stick around for very long. What do say we enjoy this for a little?"

"I don't know…" said Klein. "These powers are for fighting monsters and fighting monsters only. As a wise man once said "You either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain."."

"What does that even mean?" said Leafa. "So… Kirito?"

"Huh? Yeah, what is it?"

"I know you're not exactly hot on the idea of dating your sister… but I'm not your sister."

Kirito cleared his throat.

"Look, Leafa, I'm a little scared as to what you're trying right now, but a relationship like that between siblings, even through virtual avatars, is pretty much destined to end in some kind of disaster. Let's just spare us the pain, and move on."

"Hmph…" Leafa crossed her arms. "Fine…"

"They are Users! CHARGE!"

"Huh?"

Three girls jumped out of a nearby bush, a short girl with brown hair, a tall girl with almond hair, and a medium girl with black hair.

The three of them landed onto the ground with perfect form.

"Well that was… something," said Rika. "Hey, you two look familiar…"

"Yeah, you guys look familiar too," said Yuuki. She scratched her chin.

"Wait a minute…" said Asuna. "Kirito?"

"Huh?" said Kirito. "How did you know my name?"

"Wait, you don't recognize me?" said Asuna.

"Hm…. nope."

"Are you serious?"

Yui facepalmed.

"You'll get used to this. Wait, who are you guys, and why aren't you running away?" she said.

"It's Yui!" said Asada. "Get her!"

"Right!"

Asuna and Yuuki drew their weapons and charged at the heroes.

"Hey!" Leafa unsheathed her sword. "Winds of Fury!"

The two sisters grabbed each other's hands, the winds only slowing them down by a few seconds.

"What the…?" said Leafa.

"Ha!" said Yuuki. "Such a simple wind attack is no match for us!" she dashed straight at Leafa and swung. Leafa parried but accidentally lost her footing.

"Time to transform!" said Yuuki. "Link Start!"

Asuna grabbed a pencil out of her pocket, and Asada took off her glasses.

"Link Start!"

The whole world vanished into a swirling mass of colors. To the tune of upbeat pop music, Yuuki's outfit changed into a mass of rather lewdly placed sparkles, before morphing into a purple and red outfit. Her hair grew longer and turned bright purple. She laughed as her eyes turned to a similar color.

To the tune of some heavy metal, Sinon's school uniform became engulfed in blue fire, before being replaced by a revealing military outfit. The bow and arrow on her back glowed blue and transformed into a long sniper rifle. She stared at an unseen viewer with cold eyes.

Surges of blue lighting rained down onto Asuna, forming a white and blue dress-like-cape. Her long almond hair turned ocean blue, and her eyes changed to match. She pulled a white rapier out of nowhere, and a pair of blue wings appeared on her back.

"Faster than lightning, stronger than a hurricane, Zekken! The Fiendish Swordswoman!"

"A nightmarish gaze under which no target can escape! Sinon! The Lunar Huntress!"

"With all the force of the ocean behind her, Asuna! The Lightning Typhoon!"

"Together we are, the Heroes of Aincrad!" they all yelled at the same time, descending to the ground after their extremely long transformation sequence.

"More magical girls?" said Leafa.

"They have a group catchphrase!" said Rika. "I'm so jealous! We should get a group catchphrase!"

"Well, we have to plan it out ahead of time," said Klein.

As they discussed this totally reasonable choice of topic, the newborn magical girls began discussing their own subjects.

"Wow! We look fantastic!" said Yuuki. "And I feel amazing too!"

"Well, transformations have been known to affect the User's personality," said Sinon in an innocent monotone. "I don't think I've ever felt this relaxed."

"Hey, you're kinda cute like that! What about you, nee-chan?" Yuuki turned to her sister, who was curled up in a ball, rocking back and forth. "Nee-chan?"

"Heh… hehe…" her eyes darted around, a creepy smile on her face. "Ha… kill… kill… kill,"

"Nee-chan!?" said Yuuki.

"Kirito!" Asuna immediately got to her feet and started running towards the other group. "HEY KIRITO!"

"Huh?" Kirito looked over to see a fast-moving blue projectile heading towards him. He yelped as Asuna tackled him to the ground.

"Kirito… you're so handsome… and your face is beautiful! I love the feeling of your body against mine!"

"What the… I don't even know who you are!"

"Wait… you're that Asuna girl!" said Rikka. "I thought you going tsundere, you should've told us if you wanted to be the yandere instead."

"Hey! Get your hands off him!" said Leafa. She swiftly kicked Asuna off of her brother.

"You… I'LL KILL YOU!" Asuna drew her sword and ran screaming at Leafa.

Kirito hopped out of the way as his sister suddenly engaged in a furious exchange of swords with Asuna.

"Okay…" said Yuuki. "I guess that works. ATTACK!"

Sinon got to the ground and aimed with her sniper. Yuuki ran out, sword in hand.

"Wall of fire!" Klein stacked bursts of fire on top of one another to create a large structure.

"Wing blade!" Yuuki waved her sword about, slipping right into a small gap in the flames she created.

"Gah!" Kirito drew his swords. "Starburst Stream!"

Yuuki unleashed a barrage of slashes on Kirito, who barely caught up in terms of speed.

"She's so fast!" said Rikka. "Plasma Blast!"

"Pina! Breath Attack!"

"Lava Burst!"

Almost as if the world was in slow motion, Yuuki weaved around every attack, before sending a roundhouse kick into Kirito.

Will the Heroes of the Fairy Dance be able to defeat the far-better trained Heroes of Aincrad? Stay tuned!
