Third chapter,Moving along yay!.

The group entered the pitch-black boss chamber, and as they did the room illuminated to reveal something strange on the walls. The tiles adoring them seemed to be constantly shifting as if it was that, there was a very ominous sound that vaguely resembled buzzing, except this sound was more demonic and gave off a wrong sounding in the center of the chamber was a hive-like structure that seemed to give off a villainous the grand doors shut, the hive began to violently contract and a moment, the hive broke revealing a giant wasp like monster thirty feet long and covered in razor blades, the wasp had violet eyes and a scythe shaped the beast began hovering about five feet of the ground, the rest of it's health bar loaded in along with its

"Ha! That doesn't look so tough!" Ander called out confidently. His valor was short-lived when several of the moving wall tiles came away revealing more, smaller wasp , around thirty monsters swamped around Vespinis, thus creating a living shield around turned and gave Ander a "really?" look."I don't know why I say things." He admitted drew their weapons and charged Vespinis.

When they sensed they were in danger,some of the swarming wasp broke formation and attacked the advancing players. Liz and Pharis were up front with brandishing their shields,effectively slowing their enemy's ,Mareick, Lloyd, and Sinon were raining attack spells and arrows at the approaching enemies blasting them everyone's attention on the smaller foes,Vespinis used this as an opportunity to attack. Moving in a barrel-roll formation, he launched forward creating a vortex of , along with Klien, Agril, and Ander, were forced to to stop in place and bring their weapons up in hopes to guard against the they were successful, the action was costly and dealt around forty points of damage, along with throwing everyone back a was far from a waste however because this gave Asuna and Yuuki the opening they were waiting they rushed the giant wasp, and unleashed attacks in unison that, stacked together, inflicted notable damage to Vespinis. Knocking some of it's razors away.

Recoiling from the onslaught, Vespins flew farther back into the chamber and began emitting a low, sctracty call. Hearing it, several wasp monsters flew to Vespinis's side and took the place of the missing blades. He then rushed forward, this time commanding most of the monsters to rush a head of him while he prepared a stronger attack. Furo and Silica, who had been sneaking around Vespinis the whole time,stabbed at it valuable even debating from it's course,the monster lashed behind him with its caused Silica nd Furo to take a step back, seeing the opening, several wasp zoomed in on the two in hopes of defeating them."Watch out!" called Lance who had been focused on dealing with the smaller lept in front of them and slashed through five enemies with two powerful slashes.

Up front, Kirtio and Asuna were using their tried and true teamwork to dish out some hurt on , Asuna used her rapier to damage it' large eye and mouth it about to assault her, she called out,"Switch!" and Kirito took his dual swords, he was able to swat away monsters and strike at Vespinis's forced it to the ground where Yuuki and Leafa took a similar teamwork, YuukI struck first with erratic slashes that were too hard to predict and followed up with slower, yet stronger slashes along side wind needle magic on it's legs. This caused Vespinis to howl, or however close a wasp can come to yelling, in agony. Sensing it's distress, most of the wasp monsters tried to rendezvous with Vespinis. Sinon and Mareick used a combo technique containing a mystic arrow and a smoke magic orb. The colliding attacks didn't do much damage, but it scared the wasp enough that they broke formation and couldn't assist their master.

"I'll keep the smaller wasp from Vespinis!" Lance called before rushing off to do just that. His crazy swings and rapid damage caused a panic amongst the wasp, making them unavailable to help Vespinis.

"This is our chance!" Agril called, "We gotta do this now!"

"Alright! Let's go!" Yuuki called out before grabbing Asuna's hand and pulling her into battle with her.

"A-Alright! Yuuki slow down! Asuna called in-between laughs as she rushed off to the two unleashed a barrage of attacks at Vespinis' forward rushed forward and used his flaming sword to deliver a burning wound to it's under belly. Pharis and Agril struck from the left and right, leaving long gashes along the sides. Klein,Leafa,and Liz struck at various points racking up the , Silica and Lloyd followed up with slices and stabs that left openings for Sinon and Mareick, who blasted with ranged attacks that hurt even followed up with the biggest storm of attacks he could muster with his skill the support from the wasp monsters,Vespinis couldn't weather the attack and the rest of his health dwindled to the rest of his left, he shattered and fell into a thousand blue pixels.

"Alright!" The group cheered in -fives and thumbs up where aplenty.

"Great job everyone!" Agril called,"Now let's head back to my place for some drinks!On me!"

"Alright!" That got louder cheers than winning the fight.

One hour later

With the mission completed, the party returned to Agril's bar to celebrate, and both groups of friends had no trouble mingling.

"Wow! You have a dragon too?!" Silica asked during her conversation with Marieck, immediately intrigued because of her love of dragons.

"Yeah, not here in ALO though," Mareick explained,"His name is Orion and he's in KFO, the other game we play as a group.

"So what is KFO?" Liz asked curiously,"You guys bring it up all the it really better than ALO?"

"It's hard to say," Ander began,"See, you can't fly like you can here, but it's still amazing! You build a castle,you can form an army, you can...you can do alot of stuff!"

"What a lovely description dear!" Pharis said mockingly

"I'm already tempted to give it a shot." Sinon joked.

.(sigh)"Women",Ander sighed defeated.

Across the room, the others were having another conversation.

"So those were just one handed sword skills?" Lloyd asked Kirito.

"Yeah, though they wouldn't move that quickly if I didn't use skill connect to keep the flow going."Kirito explained.

"ALO didn't carry over certain skills from SAO, so he had to get creative," Asuna offered up."Honestly it works almost just as good as dual wielding in SAO."

"I wouldn't know, I don't use sword skills." Furo said,"I just use strong weapons and a bit of , I don't even have a ton of magic points, but I have skill points with just about every type of weapon in the game."

"No sword skills?" Leafa asked puzzled, "how is using every weapon better than having sword skills?"

"Well, I've never played any other games with sword skills, so I've come to rely more on weapons instead of them."

"Hhhmm, that's unstandable." Kirito games didn't have sword skills, so oftentimes players were thrown off when they had them here.

All across the cafe,the two groups of friends were mingling and having a good about everyone was talking and sharing stories, thus forming quik, yet notable friendships.

Lance seemed to be having a good time, that is until he received a pulled up his menu and read:It's here, and it's harder than how you described it in SAO.The message went on to say the specifics of whatever "it" , Lance seemed to know what it meant."Hhhmm, looks like I'll need some help but who do I get for this?" He thought to looked around the room, evaluating each player for what he eyes eventually fell on Leafa, he evaluated for a minute for smiling and thinking to himself,"She'd be great if she'll help, I hope she does."Lance thought as he sipped his drink.

The next day

Leafa was wandering by herself in the sylph city of one else was really logged on at the loved her friends, but still enjoyed her time a while however,a private message came it was from Lance caused some confusion as she read it."Hey! It's me Lance.I know we don't really know each other and this may be weird, but could we meet somewhere in the city Alne? I need your help."

"Lance? Weird, why him?" Leafa thought to , she accepted the message, and agreed on the meeting place somewhere in skeptical about this all, she took to the sky.

I don't know why, but most of my videogame bosses are just animals or bugs.I guess their just easier to yeah, moving on!Not much to say,so…..uh, which jedi lightsaber form would each player have? I don't know, Just spitballing here.I'd image Asuna would have like form two due to it's refined skill and Leafa might have form three due to here kendo a random question I thought about.
