Sword Art Online: Alicization

The 32nd Knight

The three were charging at each other with their swords charged. Soon, they slammed each other swords as the three try pushing each other back."

"Why? Why did you lose to the Synthesis Ritual? Wasn't the reason you trained to be a swordsman and left Rulid Village to head fir the capital city, Centoria, to bring back your cherished childhood friend, Alice?"

The three stopped and jumped back away from each other. Then the charged back at each other as they slammed swords, their attacks were so powerful, they were all pushed back. Soon, they lunged at each other as they started swinging swords at each other mutiple times. They then colldied sworsa and just stood there watching each other.

"Eugeo. You and I have never fought seriously before, have we? I've thought about it a lot. Which one of us would win if we seriouly crossed swords? To be honest, I always thought you'd surpass me one day."

Eugeo then start's slowly pushing the two of them into the ground

"I've never shown you this skill before!"

"Sonic, watch out!"

Sonic jump's outta the way as Kirito kicked Eugeo's sword out of him and fly's to ceiling and get's stuck. Soon, Kirito and Sonic charged at Eugeo as they charged up their swords but Eugeo put's his hand right in front of them two. Sonic quickly side-step's way.

"Burst Element!"

Eugeo did his burst skill send Kirito flying. He then landed on the wall in his feet and jump right back to the ground. Sonic run's toward's him to see of he was okay.

"You alright?"

"Yea, thankfully."

"Is that person really your partner, Eugeo?"

"What do you mean? You're the one who said that Eugeo had already been synthesized!" Kirito said

"That's true, but... I'm not sure how to say this. For someone who just became an Integrity Knight, he seems too accustomed to battle. For instance, the Incarnate Arms skill he used earlier, as well as that Aerial Element skill just now, makes it hard to believe he's a novice."

Eugeo's sword come's back to him and point's it at Kirito.

"Should I fight him next?"

Kirito nod's with a no.

"Sonic and I will do it."

The two then walked closer to Eugeo as they also aimed their swords at him.

"I'm counting on you, partner. I promise to give you a name when this fight is over. So lend me your strength!"

"Let's go, Eugeo!"

"Show us what you got!"

The two then charged right at him as they jumped and swung at him. Eugeo block's their attack as they were all going out at each other. Eugeo try's swing at them but ducked and jumped back. Eugeo continue's to swing at them but they alwasy jump back. Then, Eugeo swing's but they blocked his attack. The three them swunged at each other, causing only Kirito to bleed and Sonic's armor witstanding the attack. Kirito and Sonic then swung at him but Eugeo block's it. Then, the three jumped as Eugeo swing's his sword toward's Kirito's and slices him more, causing more blood to spew. Eugeo and Sonic then started swinging swords at each other. Causing small shock waves during each blow to each others swords.

"No matter how hard you try... you still won't lay a finger on me. And the person you call "She," I'm going to take her down, no problem. I fought harder battles with tuffer opponents. This is nothing to me, Eugeo." Sonic said

Soon, Sonic stab's Eugeo in the stomach snd kick's Eugeo in the stomach to push him away from him. Eugeo hold's his stomach while it was bleeding. Kirito and Sonic then landed and charged right at him again. The two then stabbed Eugeo and swung their swords as they were charging up, as well as Eugeo charging up. The three then slammed swords once again.

"Does the skill you just used have a name?" Kirito said

"Baltio style. Storm Wave."

"Baltio style? Golgorosso's sword style. Eugeo, do you... do you remember who taught you that sword skill?"

"I don't know or care. She's the only one I need to know. It's for her sake that I take up my sword, and I live in order to eliminate her enemies."

"There's no doubt. Just like Eldire and Alice, now Eugeo has..."

"The piety Module is inserted in a way that blocks links to memories. This seals away the past of the person becoming an Integrity Knight, while simultaneously forcing absolute fealty to the Axiom Church and the pontifex."

"What kind of memories originally existed where's the module's embedded? If I can figure that out... No, words won't be enough to break Administartor's art! What I infuse my sword with will reach his soul. That's what I'm going to believe!"

"Eugeo!"

Kirito and Sonic pushed back Eugeo as they charged up their swords and swung at him. Eugeo dodges them both and they continue to swing at each other. Sonic and Kirito continued swing but Eugeo continue's blocking the attacks

"Remember! There are people who are precious to you! Selka, who's waiting back in Rulid Village for our return! Golgorosso and Liena who instructed us at Swordcraft Academy! Tiese and Ronie, who worried about us right uo till the moment we said goodbye! And above alll... wasn't your wish to go back to Rulid with Alice?"

Eugeo stop's fighting for a brief second and look's at Alice. The piety Module appeared on Eugeo's forehead but continue's to fight Kirito and Sonic.

"You have to remember, Eugeo!"

The three charged at each other... Eugeo started having flashbacks during his young age, having a duel with young Kirito with sticks. Then, their swords made a loud bang as they were pushed back.

"Eugeo."

The two noticed Eugeo smile. Eugeo then turn's and look's at Alice watching behind Sonic and Kirito.

"Alice."

"Did you remember, Eugeo? Eu... geo..."

Eugeo point's his sword at the ground and slam's it down.

"Kirito! Sonic!"

"Enhance Armament."

A Ice spike tsunami was heading toward's The three. Thorns started wrapping around Kirito and Alice as they started to freeze. Sonic managed to escape but jumping up very high and slashed all the oncoming thorns at him. He then land's back on the ice. Sonic point's his sword at Eugeo but Eugeo just walked away from him.

"Eugeo. Why?"

The two freezed up completely as Eugeo started rising up back up. Sonic launches it sword right at Eugeo but already leave's the area and the sword get's stuck in the ceiling.

"When I see you again! I'm gonna kill you on the spot!" Sonic yelling on top of his lungs

Sonic look's back to see Alice and Kirito all frozen up. The sword then come's back to Sonic.

"Don't worry you two. I'll help you get out." Sonic said

*On Top The Cathedral*

Eugeo removed his armor and put his sword back in its case.

"I have fought tougher battles. This is nothing... And the person you call "She," I'm going to take her down, no problem... I'm gonna kill you on the spot!"

"Next time, I'm going all out at that armor person and chop his head right off. No matter what." Eugeo whispered

"Have you dealt with thise rebels, Number Thirty-Two?"

"I've sealed two rebels in ice, the third one was impossible for me to lend a hit on him, Your Eminence Prime Senator." Eugeo said

"That's fine, but... you did finish them off properly, didn't you?"

"No, I did not finish them off, Prime Senator. Since the pontifex's order was to stop the rebels."

"That won't do! That just won't do! When you speak to me, remember to call me, "Your Eminence, Prime Senator." "Your Emience," got that? "Your Eminence"! The next time you forget the "Your Eminence," you'll be turned into a horse as punishment! You'll carry me on your back, and while you're on all fours, I'll go "hi-yo"! Now then, I think I'll go carry out Her Eminence's orders."

Chudelkin then leave's the area. Eugeo the

"Lady Pontifex."

"Welcome back, Eugeo. You've taken care of your errand."

"Yes."

"Well done! In that case, I should give a reward. Please climb onto the bed."

Eugeo start's unbuttoning his clothes and and climb's onto the bed.

"All right, Eugeo, as promised, let me give you what you desire. Love that's meant only for you."

"Yes."

"But first, let me heal that wound for you."

Administrator put's her hands on the wounds and heal's it back.

"Also, let me have another good look at your face. Since there was a convenient hole in your memory, I inserted the module there, but perhaps I shouldn't have been lazy. Let's redo your synthesis. You can have your reward after that, all right, Eugeo?"

Administrator take's out the module started having flashbacks of him apin his younger times with Kirito and Alice.

"Just lie still. (Take's out the module completely) This is an improved module I had just completed. Synthesizing you with it allows you to use the power of "Meaning" immediatley."

Administrator put's Eugeo on her lap.

"Will you show me your memories again? This time, I'll insert it into the location of what you hold most dear. I've made it so you can move your mouth. Now, chant the command I taught you earlier. Did you forget it? What am I going to do with you? It's "Remove Core Protection."

"M... M... Mo... Mo... ve!"

"You..."

Eugeo take's out the dagger and swing's at the Administrator but it was blocked. It cause a massive shock wave as Eugeo try's stabbing her. Then, she launches Eugeo away from her.

"For you to have regained your senses... You certainly fooled me. Not to mention, that prop is the handiwork of that little brat from the Library, no? But that's too bad. No metal object of any kind can damage my skin now. You poor child. Just when I'd promised you that if you gave all of yourself to me, I'd love you back the same amount. The eternal love you've been seeking all your life, that eternal control... you were so closw to obtaining it!"

"Eternal... love? Eternal... control."

"That's right, Eugeo. If you entrust everything to me, that thirst that's been making you suffer will be quenshed instantly. All the fears and worries you've been carrying will be erased. This is your last chance, Eugeo. Use the sword at your waist to shatter that toy. Do that, and I shall forgive your heinous crime with my tremendous amount of love."

"To love is to control, and to be contolled. You're the pitiful one, for having no other way to say it! I'm sure you were once the same way. Starved for love amd sought it out, but you were never given any. Love isn't about control. Nor is it something you can gain as a reward or in a transaction. The same way you water flowers, you give it continuously. I'm sure that that's what love is!" Eugeo said

"How disappointing. I was going to forgove a sinful young boy for reblling against the Axiom Church and try to save his sould, but this is how you speak to me?"

Administrator start's glowing.

"Maybe it would be a waste to kill you and turned you into a jewel. It will take some time, but perhaps I'll use force synthesis on you, just like her."

"Like her?"

"That's right. Thirty, whom you're so infatuated with. Because she also refused to chant the command, the automated senators worked on her for days to forcefully disable her protection."

"Alice?"

"Well, I was asleep, so I wasn't actually watching, but it must have been so agonizing for her. Well! How do you feel about getting to at least share that experience?"

Eugeo grab's his sword and charges toward Administartor. Administartor fire's a skill at him but Eugeo block's it. He then swing's at her but she summoned a shield in front of her.

"Shatter."

Soon, he break's the shield but Administrator fire's a beam at him, sending him flying and into the wall. He then stood up as blood was dripping off him.

"That sword... Now I see."

"Please save me! Please save me, Your Eminence, Pontifex! You! H-He's a traitor, Your Eminence! He's claimed that he sealed away Thirty and the other one, but he went easy-"

Two hands reached out and grabbed Chudelkin's legs as the both hands started pulling him down.

"Let go!"

Son, Chudelkin jump's away as Kirito and Sonic started coming up into the area.

"Kirito. Sonic."

Then, Alice appeared right behind them.

"Yo, Eugeo!" Kirito said

"Sorry that said all those words to you. Hope you can forgive me." Sonic said

"I-It's okay, Sonic. (Tearing Up) I understand that you didn't mean to say all that. So I forgive you. Also, sorry. I gave in to Administartor's temptation, and ended up hurting you three. I thoughy I should at least atone for it by own hand."

"You're being so cold, Eugeo. I knew that's what you were thinking right away." Kirito said

"You're the same as always. (Look's At Alice) Alice."

Soon, the four looked at Adminstrator.

"Is that the pontifex, Administrator?" Kirito said

"That's right. She hasn't changed at all after six years." Alice said

"Why isn't she wearing any clothes?" Sonic said

"Now right now, Sonic." Eugeo said

"It was almost time to reset Berocouli and Fanatio, but I've only used you for six years, right? Your logic circuits don't seem to be malfunctioning. Could it be the influence of that irregular unit? How amusing. Hey, Alice, there must be something you want to say to me. I won't het mad. So say it now."

Alice started shaking a little but soon gived in.

"Lady Pontifex, our glorious order of Integrity Knights has been destroyed as of today. All because of the swords of the three rebels beside me, as well as the endless obession and deception you built along with this tower. My ultimate mission is to safeguard a tranquil lifestyle and peaceful sleep for those without swords. Therefore, Lady Pontifex, your actions are unquestionably detrimental to the well-being of those who reside in the Human Empire."

"Shut... Shut your mouth! Y-You lowly, defective puppet knight! You wretched knights are merely puppets that can only do as I order you to."

Kirito and Sonic looked at Administrator.

"It doesn't seem to be a logic circuit error, after all. And her Piety Module is still functioning. Meaning that she disabled the Code 871 imposed by that person of her own volition? Rather than a suddem emotional burst?"

"Code 871? Is she talking about the Seal of the Right Eye?"

"Well, I won't know anything more unless I run an analysis. Now then, Chudelkin? Since I'm so generous, I'm giving you the chance to restore your ruined reputation. Let's see you render those four powerless with yout arts. And good luck with that armor kid. I have no data on his armor nor sword. And I also have a feeling that he can defeat me as well..." Administartor walking away

"Y-Y-Your Eminence, Pontifex!"

"What, Chudelkin?"

Chudelkin kneel down as the four behind him were in disbelief.

"I, Prime Senator Chudelkin, for the first time in my many years of service, beg to present to you a most insolent request! I shal gladly risk my life annihilating these rebels. Therefore! Once I've carried out my mission, if Your Eminence... Y-Your Eminence... If you would allow me touch you exalted body with my own hands and kiss you, A-A-A-And then spend the night of my dreams with you... Please... please... please grant me that wish!"

Kirito, Sonic, Alice, and Eugeo were in disbelief on what Chudelkin's request was. Administrator started giggling.

"Very well, Chudelkin. I swear on the goddes of creation, Stacia. When you've fulfilled your mission, every inch of my body will be yours for the taking, for one night."

"I am overcome with supreme joy at this moment. And now... and now, I... My fighting spirit's been amplified! I'm overflowing with energy! To be more specific... I am invincible! System... Call! Generate... Thermal... Element!"

Chudelkin eyes were on fire and burnt. Sonic walked in front of them and got in his position.

"Let me show you. My greatest, ultimate sacred art... Come forth, genie! Burn these rebels to ash! Especially you, armor rebel!"

A big fire ball appeared in the air as Chudelkin transform himself to a fire form.

"Bring it on! You don't scare me at all!" Sonic shouted

To Be Continue...

"Next Time: Titan Of The Sword." Kirito and Sonic as narrtors
