A/N: Hello fans of action and comedy! It's that time again for another exciting chapter in the latest story. Here you go folks. Hope you like it.

"Well look who it is. It's King Moron and his entourage of armored cowards." Helios sneered at the Army, taking enjoyment at seeing many of the members bristle at the insult. "To what do I owe the honor of the head clown himself gracing me with his presence?"

"What did you call me?" Kibao glared.

"Oh I'm sorry, was your tiny brain unable to understand what I was saying?" Helios asked. "Let me try and simplify it. I said you and this whole circus you call a guild are a bunch of morons. And you're at the top of those morons."

"Hold your tongue!" one of the Army members shouted. "Don't you dare insult the great General Kibao! He has the unbridled charisma of a chipotle enema."

"... Well, that's certainly an image." Dagger said.

Kibao took a step forward and glared at Helios. "What are you even doing here? What business do you have in Army territory?"

"I'm just minding my own business and trying to have a good time with my girlfriend." He taunted. "You know, the type of person you'll never have in your life because you're a pathetic excuse for human trash."

Kibao grinded his teeth in rage. "Knowing you, she's probably too scared to run away from a psychopath like you. And you should watch what you say punk. You don't have the rest of your guild to back you up, while I've got an entire guild of men."

"Oh an entire group of manchildren playing with razor sharp toys they can barely wield let alone actually hurt someone who knows how to play this game." Helios could not roll his eyes any harder. "Plus Dagger isn't scared of anything, hell she can probably destroy your hedgehog looking ass without breaking a sweat."

A small snicker came from one of the Army members, but a glare from Kibao quickly shut him up. Kibao turned his attention back towards Helios. "You know that mouth of yours is gonna dig your own grave if you keep this up."

Another scoff left the axe player's lips, making the Army leader seethe in anger. "You see dumbass, the difference between me and you is that I can actually back up what I say and stand my ground without having to depend on a group of backup dancers to make me seem scary. Would you even have the balls to step up to me by yourself knowing that last time you did that I had you hanging over a pit of monsters?" Looking to the Army members, he was glad to see murmurs start to whisper through the group. "Oh, they weren't supposed to know that, were they?"

That was it. Helios had drawn the last straw. Kibao grabbed the hilt of his sword. "That's it, you are so dead! It's time you learned some manners!" He looked over towards the players at his side. "Men, beat him to a pulp! The one who gets him to give up gets a promotion to Lieutenant!"

Seeing the group start to grab at their weapons only served to make Helios laugh hysterically. "Oh you're actually doing this!? Alright then you ass warts." In a grand show, he brought Executioner out with one hand and pointed it at that Army. "Come on then, make my freaking day! I'll tear each and every one of you apart and show you what happens when you mess with the great and mighty Helios of Wyvern's Inferno!"

"Go Papa! You can beat 'em!" Yui cheered.

"Dagger, you keep Yui back and let me deal with the trash here." Helios grinned.

A sigh escaped Dagger's mouth as she moved a few steps back while holding Yui in her arms. "Just try not to make too much of a mess."

"I make no promises."

Kibao and his men all charged at the axe wielder and let out a war cry. With tight grips on their weapons, they all moved in to attack and put Helios in his place.

"Where the heck are they?" Alice complained as she and the others stood in the town square. "Helios and Dagger should of been here by now."

"There probably just busy with Yui right now. I'm sure they'll be here soon." Ren assured her.

"Knowing Helios, he's probably just making troubling and causing a huge scene." Mai commented with an annoyed sigh.

"Come on Mai" Asuna said. "You saw how caring Helios was with Yui. Don't you think he might just be letting her have some fun?"

A sudden cry of pain caught everyone's attention. Ren and the others all watched as three players from the Army were thrown into the square from one of the town alleys. They all laid defeated on the cold hard ground while several other Army members ran into the square, standing their ground at the end of the alley.

"Hold your formation! Show him the power of the Aincrad Liberation Army!"

Sadly, the wall of Army members were soon blown away and laid on the ground groaning in pain. From the alleyway, Kibao jumped back, landing on his feet and gripping his sword tightly. "Damn bastard. What kind of monster is he?"

Casually walking out into the town square while whistling a soft tune, Helios held his axe over his shoulder in a nonchalant fashion. "Man, no wonder you guys left the front lines. If this is the best you've got, then there's no way you'd be able to fight in a raid."

Mai turned her head back to Asuna. "You were saying?"

Kibao roared as he charged at Helios. His blade lit up with a sword skill as he swung his blade forward. He thought he had finally broken through Helios's defense, but his eyes widened in surprise when he saw Helios manage to block the attack with his axe. Helios swung his weapon and knocked Kibao back, following up by ramming into him full force. Kibao was sent flying back and landed with his back slamming onto the ground painfully.

"Look, not that I don't enjoy humiliating you or anything, but I'm kinda busy right now." Helios said with a yawn. "You wanna call it a day and go home while you have at least some pride left?"

"Not a chance." Kibao snarled as he got back to his feet. "I'm going to make you pay for disrespecting me."

"It's not like there's much to respect in the first place." Helios remarked. "I mean you guys extort taxes on players here. The only thing you Army guys are is a bunch of bullies. Though with your… well I guess we'll call them fighting skills… you guys could make a good living as a circus crew."

"You worthless bastard!" Kibao yelled as he ran at Helios. The axe-wielder sighed and knocked Kibao's sword out of the way with his axe. With a swing of his weapon, Helios sent Kibao flying, making him crash into a tree.

Helios could hear the snickers coming from the multitude of players watching. "See, they're laughing. You guys really could make it as a traveling circus." He walked forward as Kibao laid on the ground with his back to him. Helios could tell this fight was over. He just wanted to hear it from Kibao's mouth. "Now then. How about you finally do something smart and-"

Right as Helios was near him, Kibao turned to face him and threw an item at the axe-wielder. The item burst into a cloud of dust that made Helios feel like his eyes were burning. He dropped his axe and brought his hands to his face. "Ow! My eyes! Damnit I can't see!"

"How do you like that tough guy?" Kibao smirked as he attacked Helios with a sword skill, knocking him back. "That was an item meant to blind enemies. Looks like it works just as well on players as it does on monsters."

"Gah! That was a cheap move you bastard!" Helios yelled as he tried to endure the pain in his eyes.

"Anything goes in a fight." Kibao said as he delivered a kick to Helios as he laid down. He proceeded then to stomp on him over and over again. "Not so tough now, are you big shot? This is for all the crap and humiliation you've put me through up until now."

"Helios!" Dagger exclaimed. She wanted to help her boyfriend, but she couldn't risk it with Yui at her side.

"Papa!" Yui cried out. She squirmed her way out of Dagger's grip and ran over towards Kibao.

"Yui! Get back here!" Dagger yelled.

Helios grunted in pain as he received another hit from Kibao. He could feel his vision beginning to clear up slightly, but he still couldn't see very well.

"I only wish we were in a real duel so I could watch your HP fall and get an official win over you." Kibao grinned. "But I'll settle for beating you into the dirt like the loser you really are."

"Leave my papa alone you bully!" Yui yelled as a battle cry, jumping onto Kibao's back and began to bite his ear and scratch at his face.

"Ow!" Kibao yelled as he flailed around, trying to get the young girl off him. "Stop it you brat!"

Players watching the scene unfold laughed at the 'mighty' Kibao have difficulty dealing with a small child. The spectacle went on for a bit longer until Kibao finally managed to throw Yui off of him.

Yui tumbled across the ground painfully. As she started to get up, she saw Kibao glaring down at her. His eyes were filled with rage.

"You damn brat!" Kibao growled. "You think you can make me look stupid and get away with it?! I'll kill you!"

"Yui!" Dagger exclaimed as she ran towards her.

Kibao raised his sword at Yui and prepared to swing it down, but before he could do so he found something latch onto his arm. He turned his head and saw Helios glaring at him angrier than ever before.

"I'm sorry, I think I misheard you there." Helios said in a tone that almost seemed demonic in nature. "I thought I heard you threaten to kill my daughter."

"Let go of me you bastard!" Kibao yelled as he struggled to break free of Helios's grip.

Helios tightened his grip on Kibao's arm to the point where Kibao felt his arm might break in two. With a great show of power, Helios threw him across the square, making him crash into a lamppost. As Kibao struggled to get up, he found Helios already standing next to him. He grabbed him by the throat and lifted him into the air. "Let me make something clear to you, you piece of shit." Helios said as he took his knee and drove it into Kibao's gut. "Don't EVER threaten Yui again! Do I make myself clear?"

Kibao felt all the air rush out of his lungs. He held his stomach in pain, until another hit from Helios sent him tumbling across the ground. As Helios was about to follow up, he found Ren suddenly block his path.

"That's enough, Helios." Ren told him.

"You're kidding, right? You saw him there Ren, how can you let him get away with that?"

"It's best not to make a bigger scene than you already have." Ren said. "And trust me, after that beating I doubt you can count it as him just 'getting away'."

Kibao showed a small smirk. "I feel pretty sorry for you tactician, having to deal with that psycho of a-"

"I suggest you shut your mouth before I have a go at you next." Ren said as he turned to glare at Kibao. "You threatened to kill a little girl. Be grateful I'm not letting Helios beat the living crap out of you like you deserve."

Kibao glared at the guild leader, but decided to cut his losses and walk away. Soon after he left, Yui ran up to Helios and hugged him. "Papa, are you alright?!"

Any signs of rage that was on his face before vanished in an instant as he picked up Yui and smiled at her. "Yeah I am, thanks to my brave little warrior daughter. Papa's very proud of you for standing up to that disgusting pile of waste."

Yui felt her cheeks heat up with happiness as she hugged Helios, burying her face in the crook of his neck as she hugged him as hard as she could. "I love you papa!"

"Love ya too kiddo." He said softly while patting her head.

While the two shared their bonding moment, everyone else in the area was utterly baffled at seeing the mad demon that was tearing apart the Army moments ago start dotting on a little girl who called him papa.

"Ahem." the sudden cough from Ren make both Helios and Yui turn towards him. "So am I gonna get an explanation as to why you started a fight with a bunch of Army members?"

"Hey, he started it." Helios argued.

Ren sighed and placed his hand on his forehead. "Somehow I doubt that's entirely true. But considering everything that happened, I guess I can't really scold you two that much. Just promise me not to start any crap like that here again. It's too big of a headache to deal with."

"Like that's gonna happen." Mai remarked. "You can lead a dumbass to water, but you can't make him drink."

"Oh piss off, squirt." Helios said with a roll of his eyes.

"Yeah, dummy squirt!" Yui added.

A sudden look of depression overtook Mai at Yui's words. "Not again." she moaned as she walked away sulking.

Helios grinned proudly as he lifted Yui into the air. "That's my girl! Now how about we go get something to eat?"

"Okay Papa!"

"Just remember that you're paying for it Helios." Dagger added as she walked to his side.

"Ugh, don't remind me." Helios groaned as he, Dagger, and Yui all walked away towards the teleport gate. As the family of three walked away, the rest of the group all walked up next to Ren.

"Ok, this can't continue." Alice said. "If this keeps up, Helios is gonna end up corrupting Yui and turning her into a psychopath like him."

"I'm with you, Alice." Asuna nodded. "We need to find Yui's family and fast. Cause I don't know how much longer we have at the rate this is going."

A/N: Alright now I'm sure a few of you are wondering about how long this story will end up being. At the moment, the plan is to make it around ten chapters or so, but that is subject to change depending on what happens. Next chapter will be up around Christmas Eve so look forward to that everyone.
