HP/SAO x-over
Asuna/Kirito HP/?
Harry and Kirito were bent double. Harry bent double with Kirito slumped on the ground. Kibaou's face was absolutely priceless along with the forming Divine Dragon Alliance and Holy Dragon Alliance, Knights of the Blood Oath and Fuurinkazan; which the latter had formed entirely and was now no longer accepting recruits although Harry and Kirito had 'Sannin Rights' according to Klein.
'Sannin Rights' basically allowed Harry and Kirito to join and live the eight man guild on a whim. Harry and Kirito immediately split up again both of them deciding to meld into the background and allow the newly forming 'Clearing group' to take command and they'd tag along for the fight.
Harry had just finished dispatching the remnants of an Ork Mob on the outskirts of the town. His blade singing its deadly song as he cut, slashed and stabbed his way through the Ork mobs.
"Hey Harry!" A voice called out, Harry spun his sword slashing out wildly only for it to be hastily deflected by a gaunt looking Kakuzu.
"Kakuzu-san! I almost filleted you...What are you doing following me?"
Kakuzu grinned slightly "You see my guild Fuurinkazan, we've ran into some trouble...Stupid really..."
Harry nodded he remembered Fuurinkazan they were dwarfed by the 'Big Three' or the DDA, HDA and the KB but they were skilled and strong enough to 'Swing with the big boys' and they liked beaters so they weren't that bad "Go on...Your guild is what six? Seven? In strength what happened?"
"First of all its ten and we've discovered a unique dungeon and we need help. I was near the back and was told to run to find help and the people who I asked wanted too much of the loot so I'm looking for anyone." Kakuzu explained tears in his eyes.
Harry nodded "Let me in the group...Whose the leader? I'll help because I'm decent like that and we can work out the division of the loot at the end."
Kakuzu was looking absolutely frantic, Harry nodded and looked at his level which was a solid level 39, his health was at 9750, Battle healing was at 100 in 10 and his resistanceto poison and paralysis had only increased slightly. His amulet was beginning to wear off in case of effectiveness. The health he was shown was without any health bonuses like his armour which bolstered his health to almost 25000.
"Oh my troll armour how I love you." Harry said to himself as he gestured to Kakuzu to lead on.
"What's with the gesture?"
"Lead on McDuff..." Kakuzu looked at him blankly and Harry groaned before saying "You don't get the reference? ALLONS-Y!" Kakuzu grinned at that reference and he thanked his parents for the four year exchange programme to Britain and America.
"Doctor Who isn't it? Allons-y?"
Harry nodded "It's also the first person plural form of the French word Aller which means to go...I studied languages."
Kakuzu snorted "What languages?"
"French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Chinese, Mandarin, Cyclone, Curry, Scorpion, Strand, Swift and various other computer languages...I'm a freelance writer, programmer and beta tester."
Kakuzu grinned "So you're used to being a douche to everyone else."
Harry pouted beneath his helmet "No...Well slightly...Guild to save?"
Kakuzu nodded and the pair began to run. This floor was a big ass plain which looked suspiciously like Rohan from Lord of the Rings, the Orks, Wolves that roamed the area looked very suspiciously like the Wargs and the Orks from the books. "These Orks and Wolves look like I've seen them before." Kakuzu said as he exhaled on his right foot hitting the ground.
"Kayaba likes J.R. 's work. As do I." Harry explained when he finally noticed the guild. He had aquire the tracking skill and he was pretty good at it, he expertly picked his way across the terrain following the shortest route but not nessessarily the safest ones.
Kakuzu managed to keep up his massive bearded axe hilt bashing into his thigh as they scrambled up the hill. Harry quickly equipped his three handheld axes; good for hand to hand combat but not the best throwing projectile but an axe master like Kakuzu was going to become they were weapons of art.
Klein was sweating profusely the Orks were slowly whittling down their guild. They hadn't lost anyone yet, they had foolishly began roaming instead of setting up camp and now they were down to nine men and the best fighter for Orks was looking for help.
Harry pulled out the Morgul and Kakuzu unsheathed his Axe and charged forwards "DIE!" Screamed Kakuzu as he strode up the hill his axe turning black.
Harry was right behind him sword turning blue and together they crashed into the Ork horde. Harry's armour began emitting a blue glow as he shoulder barged into an Ork. The Ork growled as it dissolved into polygons.
Klein noticed a small pop-up 'Permission for Harry to join Party?'. Klein pressed the accept without even thinking. Klein's eyes widened as Harry's blade lashed out spearing a Warg in the chest. The wolf moaned pitifully as it disintegrated into polygons, the Orks staggered backwards previously they outnumbered the guild they had been mobbing but now with these two newcomers their numbers were rapidly depleting making them on nearly 2:1 odds whereas before they were 3-4:1.
The Orks and Wargs broke and they began to run away. Harry smirked at the fleeing Orks "You guys are idijts."
Klein turned to the newcomer and his jaw dropped at Kakuzu "You found HIM!" Kakuzu nodded and Harry stored his helmet and gear.
"Surprise...Klein want to tell me why you guys didn't register the town before you went raiding?"
Klein's head fell "We wanted to level up and get some new gear...And to warn you."
Harry nodded "Acceptable reasons but exceptionally stupid to disregard safe-zones...Anyways I'll help you on this crazy suicide on three conditions."
Klein nodded "All the loot, hand over leadership and I'm not sure."
"You an idiot...1) A percentage of the overall loot 2) First dibs on loot rooms and materials found and 3) Come and go rights from this guild on a whim."
Klein stared at him "How much are we talking?"
"10-20% and before someone gets cheeky and mentions 15% that is my offer. I'm an expensive warrior for hire. Kirito's doing something similar but don't mention it that I've told you."
(With Kirito)
Kirito felt uncomfortable and extremely out of his depth. He and Harry had been working as a pair of Warriors for Hire for small guilds or partie's that wanted to increase their levels but didn't have the level strength to do such a thing safely.
He was now attached to a group called the Moonlit Black Cats and when he scanned them he had to do all he could to not shudder at how weak they were. Sure they were average level for the floor but they weren't anything special and they were saving up to pay for a Guild Base and they didn't come cheaply and neither did he.
The more he interacted with his guild the more he realised just how much they needed him. Because as of right now he was bouncing back five Orks allowing Sachi to move into position to block them.
Kirito smirked as his guild, he hadn't gotten over those words yet. "Kirito-san what do you think about getting Sachi some better armour and weapons?"
Kirito shrugged "Whatever feels comfortable. My friend got one piece of armour although it was a boss drop and keeps with it. He's only got one sword of use and I got the sister. We don't team up much due to the fact that Harry's not the..."
Kirito trailed off before continuing "...Not the best at being polite. His first policy is to take heads off of everyone around him. Then everyone who noticed it."
The group couldn't help but stare and snicker at the dark haired teens team mate. Kirito grinned maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all. Little did he know just how badly he was going to be wrong.
Six months passed making it now roughly seven months since the death game began and Harry found himself severely pissed off. No pissed off was too polite and controlled, he was absolutely raging.
'Seven months! WE HAVE BEEN STUCK HERE FOR SEVEN MONTHS AND WE'VE ONLY JUST CLEARED FLOOR THIRTEEN!" Harry snarled to himself as he stalked up the stairs leading to Floor 14, most players recognising him as a 'beater' were giving him a wide berth.
The Aincrad Liberation Force even tried to have him barred from the now fully formed 'Clearing Group'. That didn't end well at all for them and then there was the little heart to heart he had with Heathcliff.
Flashback
Harry entered the tavern where he had been informed of where the meet for clearing the twelth floor to find the back room guarded by six guards. Two from each of the strongest guilds who were Dragon Alliance, Aincrad Liberation Force and Knights of the Blood Oath.
"Harry-san...Kirito's already here. Why aren't you with him?" Asked one of the Blood Oath knights. The Blood Oath had a respect for the two black clad solo clearers but the pair of them didn't half piss off some of the guilds or some members. Including them but the Blood Oath Knights knew that they'd rather them co-operating rather than unco-opperative.
Things went immediately down hill the moment Harry pushed past the six man guard detail and entered the room. Kibaou looked up and his eyes narrowed and he went for his halberd "Safe zone dick head...You want to start? What do you want Kibaou?" Harry growled he was already pissed off due to a near scalping of a group called the Laughing Coffin.
"I'm here because I want in on the Boss Raid." Harry stated looking at the Guild Leaders squarely in the eye.
Then his eyes turned to Heathcliffe and his eyes widened. He realised who Heathcliffe was. The way he moved, his mannerisms they were the exact same as Kayaba. Heathcliffe swiftly intervened before Kibaou could send a 'death duel' invite to Harry. Out of the pair of them Heathcliffe noticed clearly that should push come to shove Harry would cut down Kibaou in the blink of an eye and possibly massacre everyone in the room aside from him, Kirito, Asuna, Agil and possibly Klein.
"All right! Enough. The Aincrad Liberation Force will lead the next raid. The Holy Dragon Alliance have the Last Attack Bonus and you Harry will be in the second wave with Kirito and the Knights of the Blood Oath." Stated Asuna slamming her fist into the table distracting everyone from the potential blood bath that was about to occur.
Swords sheathed but glares still being made Kibaou hastily made his exit. The other guild quickly left leaving Harry alone with the Vice Commander and the Commander of the Knights of the Blood Oath. "What has gotten in to you?" Snapped Asuna.
Harry looked at her "If you bothered to check the boards in the streets...I have been notifying everyone of a rather dodgy group called Laughing Coffin."
Asuna's face turned scarlet "Asuna calm down. Can you all leave us. Harry a word please." Ordered Heathcliff.
The Knights stared "Commander...but..."
"You honestly think I'M GOING to KILL the COMMANDER in a SAFE-ZONE! Do people EVER read instructions anymore?" Harry responded anger leaking into his voice.
Soon enough Harry and the Commander were standing alone "We have nothing to say Heathcliff save for this...I know who you are. It wasn't exactly hard. I'll see you at the end Kayaba."
End Flashback
(With Harry)
Fuurinkazan were waiting for him as he came up the stairs "What took you so long slow poke?" Jibed Klein with a grin.
Harry rolled his eyes "Its time to split up the loot. I have a couple of quests that I need to perform alone."
The loot was quite extensive. It mainly consisted of Ores for strength and accuracy metals, hundreds of Warg Fangs which could be used to form bone weaponry and armour which wasn't the toughest of armours but it was sharp and in Harry's opinion the best bit of all a new Morningstar and a mace.
"Gentlemen, I bid you adieu. I have mischief and mayhem to cause and a girlfriend to treat." With that Harry departed heading towards the outskirts of town just inside of the Safe-zone but far enough out for anyone ballsy enough to risk jumping him could try.
"Well, well, well. Look who we have." A voice called out mockingly.
