This is the first chapter, Hope you enjoy it!xxxooo
Tokyo, Japan, 30 minutes before sunset, in a stadium in the middle of the city
''Sugou Nobuyuki'' the announcer begun to read aloud from the piece of paper in his hand through his Microphone ''By the judgment of the Japanese government, you have been found guilty of Terrorism, Murder, Treason and Tourture as well as many other felonies that caused pain and suffering for many Japanese citizens and others beyond our borders''
Today was the day, the day that Sugou Nobuyuki was finally gonna get beheaded in front of Japan's residents. Everyone who couldn't get tickets to see it at the stadium turned to the news channel on their T.V to finally see the bastard get what he deserves.
''And as a result of this judgement, you are to be put to death by means of beheadment'' he said as the man in white walked to Kirito and offered the sword to him. Kirito slowly removed the Katana blade from the scabbard to the crowd's pleasure. He sheathes the sword up to show them all it's gleaming blade in the sunset sky to show them the severity of what was gonna happen
''This man has committed sin beyond counting, he has done nothing but cause pain and suffering and even know he shows no remorse for his actions!'' he pointed to Sugou who just looked down on the ground.
''Even though we have begged and pleaded with him to repent for his actions, he remained his deadly silence. If this man refuses to account for his sins, what other alternative do we have but this...And now, He is to face the final judgment in heaven in the eyes of the lord'' the man finished as he left the stage as Kirito walked to Sugou, sword in hand.
''Do you have any last words?'' The mas asked Sugou on his microphone before he held it under his mouth. Sugou paused for a moment before he said;
''This changes nothing''
The man left him and joined the front row. The drums started up again with a faster rhythm as Kirito slowly raised the sword over Sugou's neck ready to swing.
Despite wanting to end Sugou's life in the parking lot that day, Kirito's love for Asuna prevents him from doing so, and if it wasn't for him, Kyouji might've never found redemption, but now the law has finally given him permission to end this man's miserable life. And now, there was nothing keeping Sugou from death.
Kirito mentally screamed as he raised the Katana above his head and then as the drum's stopped, Kirito was about to slash at Sugou's head before…
'Boom!'
Sounds of thunder filled out the skies before it turned dark. A hole then emerged in the sky and a few seconds later, a hooded figure came out of the hole and started to speak in a sound that made the whole crowd paralyzed with fear.
"HOLD IT!" The figure commanded in a deep and growling voice. Soon enough,the guards, cops and soldiers alike all raised their weapon at the figure, thinking he was here to save the prisoner. The figure didn't even flinch as he stuck his hand up and pointed at the stadium. With a pull of a hand, all of the guns and melee weapons the guards were holding were pulled towards the figure. The people in the stadium and the ones watching the event on live T.V across Japan could only watch in fear, thinking about the terrifying possibilities that is about to happen while Sugou smirks at this, thinking that he might get a chance to live after all. But unbeknownst to him, things are about to get much worse for him.
"What is the meaning of this interruption?" A guard asks.
"What do you want, you scoundrel?" another guard asks.
"Is this some kind of a rescue attempt?" A random civilian in the crowd asked his friend.
''Hell if I know'' he shrugged.
Asuna and Kirito could only look at the scene with worry. Is this figure coming to rescue Sugou, or does he have an entirely different agenda? Whatever it is, they must take caution of what might happen from here on out.
"Calm down everyone. All of you, I'm not here to terrorize you, nor I'm coming to help this bastard." The figure pointed at Sugou in disgust, all of the feelings of relief immediately gone from his body. "I just want to come here to offer you all something that could benefit all of us here, except for this trash of course." The figure said in disgust.
"And what kind of offer do you have for all of us that could peak our interest here?'' The president of Japan asks the figure.
"Heh, I'm glad you ask, Mr. President. As you all know, I've heard about the news about Sugou's execution here, and while I appreciate all of your efforts to give this scum the treatment he deserves, I still think this punishment it's still too light for someone like him. You all wanna know why?" The figure asked to everyone in the stadium.
Everyone couldn't come up with an answer straight away before some woman in the crowd in her 30s raised her voice.
"Is it because of the obvious lack of fear that this scum displays?" The woman asked in an intimidating expression
"EXACTLY! As you can see here." The figure points at Sugou. "This bastard didn't even show a single hint of fear of death. If anything, he accepts it! And after all the sins he committed, all of you are just gonna give this piece of shit the easy way out with death?" The figure pauses before he take a look at the crowd's reaction in the stadium.
Clearly, after the figure's explanation, some of the crowd started to murmur in agreement. Even Asuna herself deeps down started to think that Sugou deserves something as cruel as what he did in the past. The crimes Sugou committed was so bad, and due to the fact that he tried to kill a pregnant woman without showing a single shred of mercy or remourse ignites the massive hate in everyone across Japan, even the normally calm and collected figures such as Seijirou and the president himself had some wild fantasies of things they personally wanted to do to Sugou, and it weren't all ponies and rainbows either. The figure then continued his speech.
"Judging from the murmurings I hear, I guess I can conclude that most of you agree with what I'm talking about. So instead, I've got a much much better idea. I have some connections in the other side of the country, and even a few from Europe and America, and they've all agreed with my desition. They promised that they will show this piece of shit what it truley means to be afraid, WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE SOMETHING TAKEN FROM YOU AND THEN CRUSHED TO PIECES, WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE. WHAT DO YOU ALL SAY? ARE YOU WITH ME?" The figure said as he raised his voice to get the crowd going.
Predictably, everyone exploded with cheers of agreement, as everyone started to chant for a crueler punishment.
"FATE WORSE THAN DEATH, WORSE THAN DEATH WORSE THAN DEATH, WORSE THAN DEATH, WORSE THAN DEATH, WORSE THAN DEATH."
Kirito meanwhile has mixed feelings about this, while he secretly wanted to see what kind of cruel punishment this figure and his friend could give to Sugou, he was a little bit scared of how cruel the punishment will be since he doesn't want to get some kind of trauma out of it. Nevertheless, he must be strong for this and anything that comes his way, for Asuna, Yui, his unborn child and for all of his friends and family alike.
The figure had an evil grin after seeing the crowd's agreeable reaction, and he could see that in the stadium, Kirito has some mixed looks and knows that Kirito must've felt that he wasted his time coming here since he won't get the chance to kill Sugou himself as he saw him drop the sword on the ground with a load clash while trying to put on a brave face, but he knew that Sugou would be terrified at the endless possibilities that this mysterious figure had in mind for him, along with his friends. He then lowered himself to the ground, and turns to face the president to speak in private so that no one can hear their voices aside from themselves.
"What do you say, Mr. President? I know that deep down in your heart, you wanted to give him something more gruesome than this, but I understand due to the backlash that might come from this, you can't risk taking it. But don't worry, I am not of this dimension, they won't be able to track me or my associates either. So what do you say? Would you grant me the pleasure of giving that asshole up there what he truly deserves?" The figure asks in a calm, soft and charming manner.
After doing some thinking, and assessing the risks that might come along with his decision to let this figure take Sugou for himself, he immediately came to a conclusion to answer the figure's plea.
"Alright then, give him hell for Japan and everyone else this man has wronged. Give him something we couldn't do here" The President said in a calm, yet intimidating voice.
"You have my word, Mr. President." The figure then went up to the sky.
"The president has spoken, he has given me permission to take this man to his much more deserved treatment than death, and I can promise you that this guy will be begging for death before the end of the day! Now, let's get this bastard to his new playground, shall we?"
As soon as the figure said this, the crowd went wild as they can't wait to see the self-proclaimed "King Oberon" cower in fear like an infant baby, with some wishing that he craps his pants, others wishing for something even more appaling. He then lowered himself to Sugou and Kirito before facing Kirito.
"Look Kirito, I know that you're conflicted on this. I know that me taking over this execution means that you've wasted some of your precious time that you could've spent with your family, but on the plus side, you and Asuna will get the best seats in the house for it. You have my assurances that you both won't be disappointed, and uh, thanks for accepting the position of executioner though, but me and my friends will treat him "better" if you know what I mean." The figure said as he tried to comfort Kirito for a bit. Unable to say anything, Kirito could only nod as he went out to get changed and catch up to Asuna.
While this is happening, Kirito's friends were watching this from television in Agil's bar and wondered what kind of punishment the figure could have in store for Sugou.
"What kind of punishment could be crueler than beheading?'' Liz asks in curiosity.
"Maybe they're gonna make him some kind of male sex slave or something?" Klein wondered before Liz shot her fiancee a glare and playfully punched him on the shoulder ''Oh you'' she smiled.
''Ow'' Klien rubbed his shoulder with a fake playful pout at her ''I was only joking''
"I doubt that will be the case, but either way, it seems like it won't be a pretty sight" Sinon said as she watched the screen with anticipation.
''Well, whatever it is, I hope it scares the living shit out of that child-murdering bastard!'' Kyouji grunted as he sipped his gin and tonic.
Back at the stadium, The figure looked down to Sugou, who could only look up at him in fear, knowing that he'd just jump out of the frying pan and into the fire. He prayed that either God or the spirit of Bennett would come and get him out of this shitfest that he's currently in for, but it didn't come.
"So, this is the man who tried to take over the world, and done inhuman experiments as well as sexual harassment? I was expecting for a more muscular figure, not a baby in jumpers." The figure said as the crowd could only laugh at that remark.
"Good one." A random man said between laughs
"Well then, you'll be coming with me to your new playground." The figure said as the two of them disappeared in a cloud of smoke. After some time had passed, a big panel with four big black screens that faced the crowd in the middle of the stadium, and then the screen, followed by other TV's tuned in to the execution lit up to show the head of the figure.
"If all of you are seeing this, then that means that our attempt to bring these TV's and channels to this one particular feed was a success. Now, as you all know, Sugou is gonna face his punishment soon enough, however, before I do that, I wanna play a little game. A game to see whether this scum can actually feel genuine fear, to the point where he will beg for death. And I think I found the perfect game, just….for….him. HAHAHAHAHAHA." The figure said before laughing evilly. The viewers couldn't help but feel a little scared at this.
"Now the game is simple, the best ones are. All you have to do is survive. When I drop you off here, your game awaits." As soon as the figure finished that sentence, he and Sugou teleports to what appears to be in a road below some flyovers. He then released Sugou from his bonds and drops him off like trash in the middle of the road.
"Live or die, Sugou! Make your choice, now let the games begin!"
And that is chapter one! Stick around for Chapter two that will come somewhen soon! Until Next time Cheerio!xxxooo
