Time to End This.
Eugene, Sakuya, Alicia Rue stared at Harry and Kirito in shock, awe and with great respect. "So you two are SAO veterans, Leafa is one of your cousins in real life and Kirito's in game wife is held prisoner up the top of Yggdrasil?" Summarised the Leader of the Slyphs.
Harry nodded "Correct, I'm also a borderline psychopath with a grudge to grind."
"Why haven't you stormed the castle yet?"
"I need an army…"
Eugene nodded "What do we all get out of it?"
"Fuck ton of XP, win the game and unlimited flight and some of you get one of two unique races. The ones that myself and Kirito are." Eugene nodded.
"I'll need to get it past my brother. When do we attack."
Harry sighed "ASAP, like today or tomorrow morning." Eugene's eyes widened "That's going to be hard to accomplish."
Harry's eyes glittered "I know. Do your best, I'm attacking today. This bastard has to be stopped."
Alicia nodded "I'll get assemble as many dragon tamers we have."
Sakuya nodded "I'll bring my best. You three commence the attack and we'll join you with mustered forces."
"Good luck you three."
"Happy hunting to you three." Harry said, they could see Yggdrasil in the distance and just make out a town at its feet.
Harry grabbed Leafa and Kirito, closed his eyes and concentrated. There was a thunderous roar that reverberated through the trio as they folded out of time and space and reappeared at the foot of Yggdrasil. Several people drew their blades, Harry grinned and saw that they were a roving band of misfits under the collective guild Caitiff.
"What the fuck was that?"
"A teleportation spell that I overpowered drastically. Meant to be one person and a few feet. I did three people, pixie and about sixty thousand miles. I'm feeling a little bit dizzy, that kinda hurt."
Harry quickly recovered. A bonus of being able to summon the spirit of the creator meant he kept the majority of his useful immunities. In this game immunities were everything, considering his resistance to the more conventional elemental spells was through the roof his standard resistances weren't that much better. He could still bleed thank you very much, oh when he got Oberon's ass, he was going to rip this game apart and redesign it code by code. They were going to look more like the creatures from his books, said creatures would be in this. As for magic every race could learn all elemental stuff but mana costs would exist on a pinwheel circle. Easy to do stuff across your elemental wheel and to the right, but the left much more expensive. EG. Fire users, if they were to cast a water spell it would cost 200mp, Earth and Lightning would be 150 and wind would be 125 with Fire costing 100 as a pure theoretical algorithmic basis.
Kirito looked up. He felt something, it unsettle him. He crouched, released his wings and he took off straight up vertically. "He ain't gonna make it. Oberon's not thick. This feels like the Legend of Brunhilde."
Leafa looked at him curiously "Whose Brunhilde?"
"Fairy tale or legend from Germany." Harry replied sitting at a seat. It was awfully quiet in the area so his words carried.
"Do you know it?" Someone asked.
Harry nodded "A short version of it. Brunhilde; spelling varies was a Princess. Daughter of the God of the Gods, Wotan. Sometimes its Odin. Fairy tales change. Let me continue. Wotan got really angry at her; I think she disobeyed him in some way, so he was pissed. He was at first was going to obliterate her…"
"That's a bit extreme."
"She's a goddess so unless hypothetically obliterated on the correct day, hour etc. It'd be like being slapped. Anyway back to the story. Wotan's wife calms him down, he's still pissed but instead puts her in a tower on a mountain, with a ring of hellfire and a fire breathing dragon. Wotan says she'll remain there until she's freed. Now along the way comes this bloke Siegfried, armed with a spectacular sword and rusty, battered armour…"
"Not a shining suit of armour?" A female Undine asked, Harry snorted.
"Knight's in rusty armour know what they are doing and have been tested. Shining armour…Not so much. Siegfried takes up the quest, scales the mountain. He does it along with only his sword and his courage. He beats the hellfire circle and slays the dragon and saves Brunhilde."
"How did he do it on his own?"
"Because he's unafraid and because Brunhilde was worth it. My friend will save his Brunhilde. I'm going because I'm Thor and Loki himself is guarding Brunhilde."
Just then Kirito came crashing down hard. "We have a small problem. We can't break the shield."
"We don't need to. We just need to attack the guardian."
"What if it's too much for us to handle." Protested Leafa.
"One thing I've found, SAO monsters were much better than this. I blame RECT, they went for quantity monsters over quality. So my money is that the guardian just has so many fucking minions it looks like they're invincible."
The surrounding people looked at them "How do you know so much?" A Salamander asked as a popup appeared on his display.
"Because the man in charge deserves to pay. He is linked to 300 hostages, illegal experimentation and corruption. As we speak his co-workers are going over all of his plans which I delivered to them. I am going to bring to heel in the game world. He trapped thousands of innocent people in a video game called Sword Art Online. Myself, my friend and some three to four thousand fought and died to clear that game. For us, those who have escaped and joined Alfheim the game is not over. Not until the last one of us is free! Now who is with me?"
As Harry spoke and whipped the crowd into a rage a few of them were broadcasting live to the real world and to other players "Who are you? What are you?"
Harry smirked coldly "I won't tell you my name but I shall give you my nickname in a poem. 3 Rings for the Elven-Kings under the sky. Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone. Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne. In the Land of Mordor…" Harry began.
"…Where the Shadows lie. One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them. One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them. In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie." Eight people responded. Harry looked up and a grin erupted onto his face.
"Hidan! Tenzo! Konan! Tobi! Jashin! Hanta! Shisui! Kiba! You're…" Harry began.
"We were born for this Lord Witch King. You found us and gave us a purpose. Now lets demonstrate that purpose again." Hanta said, she was running as an Imp. Hidan, Tenzo, Jashin were all Salamanders, Tobi an Undine Healer 'We need one'. Was his explanation. Shisui was Sylph. Kiba was a Spriggan and Konan was running as Gnome.
The party of eleven headed up the stairs to the gates of the Guardians. With the Nazgull pulling on identical black armour with only their race Sigils on their arms. "Nice armour…Where'd you get that?" Eugene asked as he joined them with five hundred Salamanders.
"I hacked the game…I alpha test, beta test, code and programme for my day job. I swear by Cardinal but despise this game."
Eugene nodded "I caught your speech…As did most players. So what is the plan?"
"Fuck the guardians, get to the top of the World Tree and I destroy this world…Don't worry I'll rebuild it."
Eugene nodded "How's it going to be different?"
"SAO but minus the Death Game aspect. I may only code and release four games but you are going to fucking love them. I'll message you my details when I'm ready for a Beta test."
The gates opened and the horde of players entered "Eugene floor is yours. Nazgull, get ready to fuck shit up…Kirito, you stay on my ass." Harry growled.
The room lightened and in front of them rapidly spawning were what looked like armoured foot soldiers "We are the Valkyrie…We are…" The leader collapsed headless.
"…Utterly inaccurate and really mediocre. When I do my Norse patch, the Valkyrie are going to be shit yourself opponents."
Swords were drawn and battle commenced. Several dozen people fell as they did so the doors opened and Sylph's and Cait-Sith poured in. The Nazgull were beginning to pant, they had barely cleared a third of the way. "System…Command…Guild…Nazgull…Unlimited…Flight." Growled Harry as he landed on a guardian and shredded three more as his sword disintegrated.
"Protean." Harry snapped and out of his gauntlets between his knuckles grew several blades.
"When'd you become Wolverine?" Asked Kiba.
"Bollocks is he Wolverine, Kiba. He's more Gangrel than anything." Said Jashin.
"Gangrel?"
"Know World of Darkness?"
Harry grunted "Video game? One that requires several gig of patches."
Jashin nodded "Yup, it's a roleplay game as well. Gangrel are the animalistic vampires. Other skills include Fortitude; basically you don't get hurt and animal control…Mutations in the bloodline include Obfuscate; invisibility of a kind and Celerity; Super Speed, Barry Allen style."
Harry began to cackle "Basically Gangrel are basically Vampires with druidic and rogue classes; I'm learning Dungeons and Dragons."
Jashin chuckled "Please turn World of Darkness into something like this."
By now they had triggered the Archer trap. "PROTEGO!" Shouted Harry as he created as big a shield he could. The arrows didn't punch through initially but after a while quantity becomes its own quality.
For all of the armour, Harry saw his health slowly decrease. Through this fight he had probably exhausted a good third of his health. He could not stop. Suddenly he began to glow; the Undine and Slyph Healers were ascending healing as many people as they could.
Basically the berzerkers of the party went with the Nazgull to destroy and hold up as many opponents as possible. The organised Salamanders and suppressive factions would sweep up and move as a mass block. Whilst the Healers would rush around patching people up; dart down again recover mana and repeat the process.
"Harry, Kirito! GO!" Ordered Tobi. Harry and Kirito launched themselves skyward. The archers appeared and they began to aim so many arrows that it would be an insta-kill.
"I call the Black Destroyer, make the Heavens fall cast away the gods, open the gates of hell!" Screamed Recon and several Caitiff. Harry watched in amazement as the fifteen screaming players timed their sacrifice bomb spells in perfect harmony. As one activated, they triggered another. The result was the cluster of archers had been blown away. Harry charged forwards sweat falling off his brow. He grabbed Kirito and bodily chucked him towards the door, only for Kirito to send him at the door.
"It's not opening!" Moaned Yui. Harry's eyes flashed purple as he opened a box. Authorisation code Witch King. Override!"
(Outside world)
Shouzou Yuuki and Kouichirou Yuuki escorted by the police and RECT security stormed the R&D division. They didn't need a warrant as Shouzou had printed off and dumped several file boxes of paperwork on a Police Officers Desk in order to gain assistance.
"We are here to guard and apprehend Sugou Nobuyuki should he come out of his online game…Meanwhile we may as well see what is happening." One of the officers turned on the screen in the office to reveal two scenes. On one side looked like a battle and on the other was evidently on the other side of some sort of door. 'Authorisation Code Witch King! Override!'. 'Harry, you realise that you're cheating'. The shorter player said.
'Kirito-kun; when will you realise that circumventing fifteen minutes of shit coding in thirty seconds to rescue YOUR IN-GAME WIFE from a total cuntbag like Sugou just to appease you and her parents is worth more than a thing like legalities.' Harry replied as they began to run.
'Aren't you scared of what Sugou may do?'
'Be more scared of what I'm going to do to him to get a confession out of him. Besides he is the in game boss. To everyone watching this well we'll just bait the turdbugget; get a confession and then I beat him to death. Besides he ain't going to die. This isn't SAO afterall.'
The officers watched. "Harry really going to kill someone?"
"It is self-defence at best and manslaughter at worse. Besides I think the judge'll let it slide when brought up that he was bringing someone who was partaking in crimes and against humanity."
The officers watched. They saw the massive guilded cage that another player was trapped in. "Officers, I can confirm that is my daughter Yuuki Asuna."
"Kirito-kun! Yui! Harry-san!" Exclaimed Asuna.
"Kirito, get back. You as well Asuna. Sun explosion!" Sun explosion was a concentrated overkill fire spell and erased the cage from existence. "Kirito, you many now kiss the bride. I on the other hand have a confession to get."
(In game)
Suddenly the world shifted. The platform suddenly turned black. Asuna was suddenly yanked up and suspended from chains as Harry and Kirito were locked to the floor. "Impressive? Gravity magic? Going to be the next update up until you little shits ruined everything! How did you know it was me? What have you done?" Exclaimed Sugou adorned in his garb of fairy king Oberon.
"Oh not much. Saved the girl, saved the world. First answer; your mannerisms sound too similar. I listened to the intro video and then I had the misfortune to meet you. Ended you." Harry replied getting to his feet. He struggled but in the end he got to his feet.
"Silence you! Now Kirigaya what gives you the right to interfere with my work?"
"What gives you the right to hold Asuna hostage Sugou." Kirito snarled.
Sugou bristled "You shall refer to me as your Highness or words of that effect."
Harry groaned in relaxation, his bowels had been killing him for the past fifty minutes. "Are you pissing in my throne room?"
Harry cocked his head "Yes…Anyway you have my curiosity. What had we interrupted?"
"I have three hundred former players of SAO under my thumb. And now, thanks for their dedicated cooperation, the technology I developed for a totally control of emotions and thoughts is eighty percent of complete! I'm about to achieve what no one else has! The total control of the human soul! The power of the god! It's so close I can almost taste it... Seriously, thank god for virtual reality, er...?
Uhe hee hee hee hee...Ah ha ha ha ha ha...!" Cackled Sugou.
Harry snarled with rage "You will desist." As Asuna screamed "You'll never get away with this you monster."
"But who is going to stop me? Kirigaya can't. You my dear are in no position and who is going to believe this one." Sugou gestured to Harry.
"Project Animus." Sugou stopped, those words were like knives in his heart.
"How did you…"
"The Yuuki's know. They employed to open the file. Apparently they were doing an audit and couldn't access the files…Seriously AMNDAIISI443-449. Anyone who knows Shakespeare, Midsummer's Night Dream and plays this game could have guessed your passcode."
"I CALL UPON…" Began Oberon.
"Osis Fragmentum." Harry snapped and Oberon screamed as his arm fell limp to his side.
"Spells maybe done in English. No help when a player knows fluent Latin. You brought this upon yourself. Now my turn to ask the questions. Were you involved in SAO?"
"Yes. I turned it into the Death Game, I suggested it to Kayaba. I suggested that RECT by the game. So I could carry on my work. The American Military are more than willing to pay me handsomely for this work. It helped that the Yuuki's were going to adopt me into the family. The only one stopping them was Asuna and thankfully I had dealt with that."
Harry grinned sadistically "Finite Incantatum." The chains vanished "Kirito, get her out. I have no desire to see Asuna humiliated to gain the advantage over you. This is gory work for jaded workers."
Harry healed Oberon's leg "System Command set pain tolerance for Harry Potter to 1 authorisation code Oberon."
"System command set Harry Potter pain setting to 0. Set Sugou Nobuyuki; Oberon pain receptor to 3 authorisation code Witch King. System command restrict admin privileges of Witch King and Oberon to off."
Oberon gulped "You know that 3 and below affects the body outside."
Harry nodded "Of course. I was beaten, tortured and abused in real life. I know what I can take. Now, are you going to admit peacefully or must I subdue you."
Oberon snarled and drew his blade "What are you going to do for a blade?"
"Protean: Claws of the Beast! Who said I need a blade." Smirked Harry vanishing his armour leaving him in a pair of trousers. Oberon's eyes widened at the claws.
He swung his sword wildly and Harry harmlessly deflected it. It rattled off his claws causing a minor cut. Harry winced slightly at the contact but refused to let it show. Harry darted forwards "Celerity: Level 1." He rushed forwards raking his claws across Oberon's legs front and back.
The man screamed at the light application of pressure. "Please! Have mercy!"
Harry was pissed, he kicked the Bandit King in the spine and smiled as Oberon screamed "Mercy! You have the audacity to beg for mercy!" Harry grabbed Oberon, sheathed his claws "Potence: Level 1!" Potence just added extra strength to physical strikes; and as a result in the hands of a Gnome or Salamander it would be a devastating spell.
Oberon gobbed blood as the punch connected firmly with his stomach. He couldn't drop to the floor as that brat had a rather good grip on him. Sugou's intended victim punched him again and followed up with a 'sparta kick' to the chest cracking his ribs.
"Get up. I'm not finished yet." Snarled Harry, he had never played with people like this before. He had to say it, this had a different feeling of satisfaction.
Oberon got to his feet and unleashed a powerful gravity spell; it basically increased resistance of someone pushing against it. Harry sighed with another 'Finite Incantatum' he cancelled the spell. "I can't imagine the psychological torment you put my future sister-in-law through but I think you can. CRUCIO! Try not to go insane." Oberon was blasted off his feet as the pain curse ripped into him.
Oberon began to scream, it felt like he was being bathed in acid, skin was being flayed off him and his bones were being ground into fine powder one agonising centimetre at a time.
Harry noticed a message appear it was from an administrator.
Harry, this is Yuuki Shouzou. Noboyuki's body is about to go into myocardial infarction or heart attack. Stop what you're doing. We need to pull him out and stabilise him. He'll talk. Will contact you in a bit. Thankyou for everything.
Yuuki Shouzou
CEO RECT Industries
"System Command: Generate Excalibur!" A voice called and the blade was thrust into Noboyuki's gut. "System Command forceful ejection of Oberon. Authorisation Akihiko Kayaba."
Oberon screamed as he dissolved into pixels and Kayaba appeared. "Thank you for that."
Harry snorted "Don't bother Kayaba. If it wasn't for you then this wouldn't have happened so now what? You pass on?"
Kayaba snorted "No, I'll head to hidden areas of the internet. You'll be able to contact me via this…" He pulled out a seed like object "…This is the seed; look after it for me please. I'm not sorry for what happened but I am sorry for what people had to do to survive. You'll know what to do with this if you need to."
Harry found himself dissolving and leaving Alfheim. He awoke to find Argo lying on his stomach with a phone on her ear and Teddy curled up next to him.
"He's just woken up Shouzou-san, I'll pass you over."
