Leafa pov:
She watched as a bur of green landed on top of the one guy attacking her 'savior' trying to kill him. Then as the dust cleared, she saw a man clad in green, the dying salamander with a boot on his chest. Her eyes widened when the man in green pulled out a shotgun and shoved it in the salamander's mouth. His muffled screams were cut short as a loud bang ran out. The man in green jerked his head to the next closest salamander and in a blur, charged at him and grabbed him. He had one hand on the body of the guy and the other on his head, she wanted to puke when he saw the marine tear the grunt's head off. Then he slowly looked up towards the leader of the group who was a ways up in the air.
"Anyone else want to fight?" Kazuto said smugly.
Both the leader of the group and her shook their heads, the salamander saying his magic level was almost level 900. With that the salamander left with what dignity and food he had.
"So...what's with the-" but Kazuto was interrupted by her.
"Shh, those are remain lights, the players who die can still hear you as long as those are lit." She warned.
As soon as they disappeared, Leafa asked what the black swordsman wanted.
"Well, seeing as what had happened, I'd say it's one of those knight in shining armor scenarios" the black swordsman said.
This got her a bit confused a bit.
"You could burst into tears and throw your arms around me" the boy said jokingly.
"Oh piss off! Besides you didn't do anything" She said, a bit offended.
She was then interrupted as the man in green cocked his shotgun, making her shiver not wanting to end up as the salamanders.
"Woah woah there slayer, there's no need for guns right now" the black swordsman said, audibly a bit scared too.
"And I wouldn't allow it!" Said a voice of a small girl.
This got Leafa off guard as it was coming from the black swordsman who covered his picked and said to be quiet. And out came a little fairy girl saying only her and 'mommy' could have him. After a few moments of chatting a bit, she was trying to teach this 'Kirito' to fly without using the controller. He struggled a bit but then Leafa pushed him from behind and he shot up into the air, crashing through branches in the trees, Leafa and Yui following close behind and laughing at the Kirito flying in circles uncontrollably. After a bit of practice, Leafa and Kirito were flying towards the town they were going to.
"Hey, where's your friend at?" Leafa asked.
Kirito replied by looking around trying to spot him but a roar rang out as a wyvern like creature dove between them. They both looked and saw the slayer riding on its back, holding it with one hand. He looked up towards them and gave a thumbs up. Leafa was confused why the 'slayer' as Kirito called him wasn't using his wings and where he even got a wyvern at. After a bit, all three of them were closing in on the town, giant columns of buildings growing in size as they got closer. Then as they got close, Leafa asked if Kirito knew how to land and he said he didn't. He then crashed into one of the buildings while the slayer and Leafa landed onto the ground. They both made their way over to the Kirito who laid on the ground, obviously hurt a bit. Leafa was about to heal him until the doom marine took out a med kit and tossed it on him, instantly disintegrating as it touched Kirito and healed him to full health. He looked at his health and saw it was full. Then came a voice of another kid, a school age boy nine the less, calling out to Leafa. He came up and said he was glad she was ok but saw kirito.
"A spriggan?!" He said as he grabbed his dagger ready to defend Leafa.
"It's ok, he's cool, he saved me from those salamanders" Leafa said.
"Are you sure, he could be a spy" the kid asked.
"I'm sure, it's this guy who you need to worry about" Leafa said as she pointed to a hulking giant of a man in futuristic armor.
In response, the man turned his head down to meet the gaze of the little boy, this made chills run down the poor boy's spine. He studied the blood stains on his armor and on the blade attached to his left arm. Then he asked if Leafa wanted to go do something with him, wanting to get away from the hell walker. Then he was disappointed as she said he was going to get Kirito a drink for saving her. He just stood there and called out her name quietly as they strode away, the marine following close behind. After a bit, they were in a bar of sorts, the place being pretty empty as they both sat at the table, waiting for their drinks. The slayer stood guard next to them.
"So, who's that friend of yours?"Leafa asked.
"Oh, that's um...well he calls himself the doom slayer, I'm not really sure what his real name is. All I know he's on my side, but still...he scares me sometimes." Kirito answered.
Leafa just sat there contemplating, but then their drinks came and the waitress bowed before walking away.
"To answer your question young Leafa, we are Kirito's personal body guards, reasons I may not say, but I am the slayers personal sentient AI, Vega, who has helped him for over a millennia" Vega said.
"W-wait what?" Leafa exclaimed in shock and confusion.
Slayer pov:
/do you mind if I tell them some of our history, it could help earn more trust from both of them. And this 'Leafa' is actually Kazuto's cousin, she too is playing in the game and currently lives with him/ Vega said.
The marine let out an internal sigh and nodded.
"I am a sentient AI built on mars. I was assigned to the slayer to help him in his eternal crusade against the armies of hell. The only reason the demons were able to reach earth was Samuel Hayden had betrayed the slayer for 'the good of humanity'. There, the demons had invaded not only mars but also earth, billions were slaughtered. But then the doom slayer came in and slaughtered the demons. They feared him, they tried everything they could to kill him, but it was pointless. He killed and absorbed the power of every demon he fought.He became the monster under the bed to the demons, except he was real. He continued his crusade, even killing the khan maker, the embodiment of all the angels combined. The reason being was she was corrupted by argent energy. She wanted it for herself as it made her even more powerful. Then he moved on to the icon of sin and even to the dark lord himself. To you, he would be the devil, but where we came from, he was the first being, the one that created everything, including the being you call 'god', or as we call him The Father. After he killed the dark lord Davoth, we found ourselves in the world of SAO, there is where we met Kirito." Vega explained.
This was a lot to take in for both Kirito and Leafa. One mortal man, killing demons and absorbing their power, and then killing gods. But this only confused Leafa, she didn't know if this man was just some player trying to be some all powerful being, or if he was an NPC. But that didn't explain how he came from SAO and ended up in Alfhiem. Yui knew that there was a ton more this 'Vega' hasn't said. But she knew why he didn't as it would take way too long to explain. Then Kirito started asking questions about the world tree after a while of silence. He wanted to get there as soon as possible to save Asuna. After a bit, he explained he had to get up there as soon as possible. She realized why as she saw him look down a bit, then after a bit, he was ready to go to the world tree. Leafa insisted on coming with and told him to meet back there the next day at three pm sharp and logged off.
No one pov:
The clouds of the planet lingered above the ground of the lush green earth. Then a void like orb appeared in an empty area of the planet. It was like staring into the abyss, but it had an orange outline to it. Then orange shapes appeared in the ground around it. Then they took form of various monsters, most common were humanoid creatures, orange in color with spikes sticking out of their backs. Sharp teeth permanently in a furious snarl and orange glowing eyes. These were none other than demons called Imps, vary furious little demons who would take on anything, they came in groups of at least six and would use their magic fireballs and sharp claws to kill their prey. The biggest demon that spawned was a Barron of hell. It stomped and looked at its green surroundings, disgusted at the lushness of life it saw. It then roared for its fellow demons to follow and hunt for some prey to devour. To be continued...
