Chapter one: The Strange Drive

It was a normal day for Kirito and his friends. Well, as normal as it could get. Unlike normal days, today they decided to hold a strategy meeting at Agil's cafe in the real world, discussing what their plan was before jumping online.

"So, then, we're going for the next few floors of Aincrad, then?" Kirito asked as he looked to his friends

"Right. Me and Yuuki's group were the first to complete floor 50, so we have to start making ground" Asuna replied, remembering her fond days with the sick girl

"Then, we should gear up, first!" Lizbeth yelled out excitedly "If I get some good materials, we could clear those floors again in no-"

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, causing the Aincrad group to freeze and look at Agil in confusion. The large man simply threw up his arms as he spoke

"I was sure I closed up shop." He explained "Maybe it's just some extra supplies the wife ordered..."

Agil walked over to the door and opened it, looking around before staring at an odd thing that was left at the door. A small USB, with a simple note. He brought it it to his friends, confused

"So, who was it?" Kazuto asked with a tilt in his neck

"Dunno. Just left a USB and a note" Agil explained, before reading out the note "Enjoy."

"Cryptic..." Sinon muttered sarcastically "I don't trust it"

Kirito took the drive from Agil's hand and inspected it. It was a small, brown USB drive with two odd logos emblazoned on either side. One was an old, simple controller, while the other was a top hat, monocle and mustache, worn as if it was someone's face.

"I wouldn't say it looks malicious" Kazuto muttered, before prepping the drive

Agil set up a large screen TV, with seats and a table. As Kirito inserted the USB into the tv, the back opened, and a red light beamed and scanned the room, before shining bright blue. As the initial gleam slowly ended, two new figures stood in front of the TV, which was now on. Once the glow died, the figures were revealed as Pina and Yui, who embraced Silica, Kazuto and Asuna respectively

"It wouldn't be right, if the daughter and the pet were left out of the fun~" Came a mysterious voice "Hello, friends, my name is Igor" The voice chuckled lightly at his own joke "I'm kidding. Just always wanted to say that. I am DataCycle. Call me Cyrus"

"Okay, Cyrus..." Sinon uttered, still weary about the voice "Where are you?"

"Why, on the screen, Sinon" Cyrus said

Sure enough, on the screen was a man, dressed in what looked to be a black coat, with an eyepatch covering the left eye, long black hair which was highlighted in red, and wearing a smile on his face. He gave a chuckle before speaking

"I hope I don't look too edgy. It's more of a like than a style" He said with a smile

"So, what's with the drive? Were you just showing off?" Klein asked as he stared down the man on screen

"What I'm about to do, I'm simply doing for my own amusement. No tricks, no traps, no one else knows." He answered cryptically "I want to show you something. A little series that I enjoy a bit. Maybe you'll get a kick out of it, maybe you'll hate me"

"A... Series?" Kirito questioned as everyone seemed to calm down slightly

"Yup! Just a fun little distraction to laugh at with the crew!"

"Okay. What's the name of this series?" Kirito asked again

"I'll answer that with the first episode. Welcome... To Sword Art Online Abridged!"


So, this is going to be a thing I do. The only SAO react to SAOA story I ever saw showed reactions to AFTER the episodes and that is incredibly stupid. The way I see it is, when I run out of steam for my serious stories, or have nowhere to go with it yet, I'll try post a chapter for this ridiculous story. I am, however, taking the screenplay from someone else who has made good stories, and posting them, so I'm sorry for that. The original screenplay portion (The SAO Abridged episodes themselves) came from Deadmanx513 on Wattpad. Check out his stuff, if you have the chance, it's pretty good. ANYWAY, till next time!
