This chapter is beta-read by Fate-of-Wishes. Enjoy!
A lone blade slashed through a white-skinned individual, a single word echoing in the air - one used much too often in Aincrad - indicating the creature's demise. As another player sheathed her rapier with graceful ease, a dark-toned hand reached out to lift her from the ground.
''Thank you,'' Asuna smiled with gratitude, two lilac pupils answering those words with what one could call a warrior's kindness.
''Don't mention it. Thank you for assisting me in this hard task, my friends,'' Kizmel responded.
In front of the group of colorful individuals stood the ancient runes of a swampland - a deserted land once rich with the mixed civilizations that occupied them. Passing trees, that had taken the stone embodiments of those cultures beneath their roots, the full party ascended deeper into the wilderness of the...
''Boring! Shut your mouth for a second and listen up!'' Deadpool started. Kirito was deadpan and Argo and Kizmel shifted curious gazes to their partner. Yuna struggled to hide her more terrified expression, whilst Asuna, yet again, bore quite a cold one. ''As awesome as you can try to write that, it still sucks. So, how about we do a compilation of the best moments from the next few weeks.''
And thus, with the background music of 'Centuries' ringing through Deadpool's head, a montage of the best moments of Aincrad began to play.
The montage started with an army of invading Fallen meeting their end at the hands of the opposition. Deadpool was amid them, on the back of a giant boar, rampaging through the crowd of elf data. The next panel was a mini-performance by the brown-haired player, her voice warming the hearts of every party member. And although it was a whole-hearted moment to show her companions her gratitude, she couldn't help but hope that some of those words had influenced a certain player for the better.
The next moment continued into the beginnings of a fierce battle. A group of approximately 60 players charged, without a second to waste, into a battle against one of the ugliest bosses in all of Aincrad. Literal troll clashed with the figurative troll, Deadpool holding his own in the battle while the others ended the boss' miserable life.
Brief, honest smiles shone through short glimpses of a meeting between the black-haired boy and a red-haired pirate. Drawn short, as the next moment revealed what should have been a large battle. However, due to some unusual circumstances, were only six forest elves and their king against the party of six.
The next panel was yet again a battle. This time, a beautiful, large witch - with a pretty impressive figure - stood before the raid group. Spikes would take form and protrude with incredible speed from her skirt, piercing any player that came close. However, even this boss found herself burning red with embarrassment as one had managed to dodge said spikes - making his way underneath her skirt. None of the players had expected the girl to react in such a typical embarrassed-anime-girl manner, yet that was what had happened.
Naked skin glimmered in the next panel, another bath scene to be precise. This time, however, it had escalated a little due to some teasing from Argo. As multiple female hands covered their red-beet faces and shocked eyes, Kirito quickly made sure his lower body was no longer visible. Deadpool was still standing proudly and laughing, the blurred pixels of something not-so-small right in plain sight. Another panel showed the players marching to the final battle, an army of dark elves following them through the autumn-themed ambiance of the ninth floor. The next few panels that followed were quick, each one filled with fights.
''Hold up! We are not skipping this epic battle in the compilation,'' Deadpool declared, as he blocked the charge of two Fallen elves with two swords. ''Time to get in on the action!''
Stepping forward, Deadpool released his swords. While the two Fallen fell forward from momentum, the Merc grabbed both heads and slammed them against each other, knocking both elves out. A charge from another two Fallen was stopped by a black blade and a curved sword, Kirito slamming his fist against its opponents before calling for a switch. Deadpool responded by teleporting behind the elves, grabbing both heads and pounding them into the wall. [Why all the grabbing?]{OP has played a little too much Lu Bu!}.
Another group of Fallen elves charged at them, but at that moment a white flash pierced through the group. A barrage of attacks followed, a rapier, a dagger and a pair of claws, working splendidly together. ''Everybody alright?'' Asuna asked, quickly shifting her attention between the players, before focusing back on the many Fallen still around.
''We're okay. Let's continue this assault now that we still have the element of surprise.'' Kizmel suggested. Five heads nodded before they rushed forward.
A dozen white-skinned Fallen elves appeared, causing a large grin to spread over the Merc's face. With a single teleport, Deadpool now stood in the middle of them all, ready to wreak havoc once again. A backhand punch had the first Fallen taken by surprise, finally gaining the attention of the other elves. Without hesitation, Deadpool slammed his open wrist against a Fallen elf chin, before making a half turn to dodge a sword, landing an elbow right on the elf's abdomen. Another blade slashed towards, and narrowly missed, his left side as he grabbed the elf's wrist, delving out a low sweep and roundhouse kick, before breaking the elf's leg with a low side kick.
''One more? I've got just the thing for you,'' the Merc grinned, before stepping towards the Fallen elf with eager anticipation. The elf unleashed a sword skill, easily dodged by the Merc. Locking the weapon-wielding arm with his own, he held out his arm out before shouting, ''Ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora, ora!''
Beautiful autumn lights reflected on an orange-yellow ground, the sound of the pummeling the Fallen elf had taken echoing through the air. As the elf was held lifelessly in the air by an incessant barrage of punches, the Merc was interrupted when Kirito took his arm and said, ''DP. Stop, it's already dead. Let's continue.''
''Fine, fine. Let's finish this battle,'' Deadpool responded as the shattering of his former opponent echoed through the air. This time, the song 'Angel with a Shotgun' rang through Deadpool's head as he engaged with more Fallen elves who were this time coming out of the side tunnels of their tasteless hideout.
One Fallen elf after another fell to the incredible teamwork of the six companions. A one-handed sword parried multiple times with iron, this switch serving as the opening for Asuna to shine with Chivalric Rapier. Kizmel blocked an attacker with her shield, Argo and Yuna dealing the finishing blows to their enemies. Deadpool was fighting solo, utilizing boxing skills that even Mike Tyson would be proud of.
Two body shots stunned a Fallen, before an uppercut sent it to the ground. Two Fallen appeared out of nowhere, only for Deadpool to spin a 180, summon two swords from his back and block the first one in front of him whilst piercing the second behind him. Both elves attempted to regain their composure, only to be kicked in the balls.
''Love that you've got a martial art history, OP. Really reflects well in these moments!'' Deadpool mentioned as he corner-punched another Fallen, his Martial Art leveling up accordingly. ''But enough with the hand-to-hand combat. It is Sword Art Online, not Fist Art Online.'' [Despite some people clearly not using a sword.] {Weapon Art Online?} ''No, that sounds horrible,'' Deadpool monologued.
''Deadpool. Could you focus back on the enemy? This battle is far from over,'' Kizmel stated.
''What do you think I'm doing? Do you think those idiots got knocked out by themselves over there?'' Deadpool snarked back, pointing at the dozen of elves that were still on the ground. That very moment, the dark elves appeared and finished off the knocked out Fallen. ''Damn, that was cold.''
''This is war. They did what was required. Now, for our advance,'' Kizmel started, looking to her friends. ''According to the dark elf scouts, the ruby key should be in the lowest part of this Fallen castle. We can expect heavy resistance in there. Not to mention, almost no doubt the Fallen commander as well.''
She continued in dead seriousness. ''Even with superior numbers, it requires everything to come out victorious against them.''
''This requires a plan with planning and pinpointing every detail. Perhaps we should let the main forces go first and strike from behind,'' Asuna suggested.
''That could be a good idea if we had a way to get behind them in the first place,'' Argo nodded. ''What do you think, Kii-bou, Yu-chan, DP?'' Argo then noticed a small change in the air. ''Hey, where is DP?''
The others looked hastily around them before Kirito voiced their inner thoughts. ''Oh, for fuck's sake!''
A bit further ahead, the red figure slammed yet another elf's head against the wall before dashing forward into a group of Fallen. Two swords in his hands and one in his mouth, he growled, ''Santoryu, Sanzen Sekai! [For translation: Three-sword style, Three-thousand Worlds] {For anyone that read both of those in Zoro's words, 10 points!}.
Eleven Fallen stood wide open, as if they had just been struck by three swords - before they realized that the swords had barely done any damage. As they shifted their aggro onto the Merc in red, they were too slow to recognize the substance on the floor, followed by Deadpool lighting it on fire.
''You probably wonder 'why did you go in on your own? Why did you say 'damn that was cold' when you're much worse? Why are you asking us all of this whilst those guys are being burnt alive?' Well, whatever you read about those guys and their irritation towards me up above, they showed me a compilation on how much they want me around.''
Deadpool leaning forward whispering, ''They don't know how ruthless I can be. I couldn't even use fires around them, and that was only me on mild. Can you believe that?! You burn one warehouse full of food stock and you're suddenly in the wrong,'' Deadpool complained, the skin of the Fallen behind him slowly burning away.
''We're level 26 and they still think we need to go slowly. I mean... come on!''
While Deadpool paced up and down the path, an almost painful whisper echoed in the air. ''Please...sa..save...us...'' one of the Fallen elves begged, his eyes burning from passion. I mean fire.
''This one you did on purpose. But that mistake about the ALS in the sixth group was an honest mistake. That nobody said he wrote ALA. People asked about Jim, but not about that mistype?! I am disappointed.'' Deadpool monologed again, the fire behind him burning out, taking the bodies of the demised with them. [Anyway, what happened to Jim?]{Working his ass off to keep up with us!}
''For all the ladies out there, sorry but in this story you are male. I think... hard to say with the guy.'' [Maybe he is genderless] {No, no, he is called Jim. Why would you call him Jim if he is not a boy?}. ''Cause OP needed an easy name and wasn't thinking to make it a real player.'' [Sloppy work.]
As his monologue continued, four players and an elf finally found the Merc in Red. ''Goddammit, DP. What the hell are you doing?'' Kirito started, the rise in his voice something new for his companions.
''Wrecked some Fallen. You know, you guys were taking so long, so I thought I would enjoy myself with some of these fellows. I have to say, they had quite the burning passion,'' Deadpool grinned.
Kirito sighed, ''Well, since we've come so far, we better keep going. You guys ready?''
''Yes. Lead the way.''
It was the end of a conflict, one as old as time. It was the end of the elf war, but for Kizmel, also the end of a collaboration she would greatly miss. She even had considered stopping her duty as a Pagoda Knight but knew her queen would never allow it. There was always a way to leave the kingdom of Lyusula without letting anyone know, but Kizmel was far too loyal to do that.
The only positive she had now was that she could see her friends one more time during the special celebrations for the victory. That would happen in three days at the palace. There, she had one last chance to convince the queen and her human friends to let her continue her adventure with them. Adventures full of action, friendship, beautiful sceneries, and above all else, adventure with a new family.
Hoping that such a thing could be possible, Kizmel made her way to the closest tailor and prepared herself for an evening that could change anything. Was it possible for her to chase the dream that brought hope and sunshine to her life? Or was it a dream chase in vain?
Eyes opened wide in shock. Not a single sound made. The famous red-blood sky held the same message as that first day. In joint horror and confoundment, the entire player database stood in the Town of Beginnings, staring at the repeating of events.
''Kii-bou, what is going on?'' Argo asked, clearly taken aback by the suddenly forced teleportation and the -System Message- written in the sky.
''I don't know. But I don't like it,'' Kirito whispered, standing next to his companions, terrified. Deadpool stood next to him, Yuna, Asuna, and Argo between the two men as if this were another battle against a boss.
''Wait, this wasn't in the manual? OP, what's going on?!'' Deadpool shouted, instantly summoning his manual for dummies. As he confirmed that this event was not an event that had happened in the original storyline, he decided to wait for what could possibly be coming.
''Kirito, DP! Good to see you both well!'' a voice shouted before he and his friends dashed towards Kirito's party. ''What is going on?''
''No idea buddy,'' Deadpool said with extreme seriousness. ''But I guess the only thing we can do is watch and see what this is all about.''
Deadpool wasn't expecting someone else to appear at their side, but an unexpected voice suddenly echoed through the air. ''Deadpool, Argo-san!''
Switching his attention to his side, he spotted a bewildered grey-ponytailed player running their way. ''Glad to see you're alright. Do you guys know what's going on?'' I've got to admit; he could be an actor. [Actor, billionaire, genius, sociopath] {I get Tony vibes.} Perhaps not the last one.
''I hoped you knew what was going on,'' Argo responded before turning back to the sky. ''What is Kayaba up to now?''
As a red liquid seeped through the ceiling cracks, Heathcliff answered, ''We are about to find out.'' The entire plaza went silent as the same figure that had haunted their nightmares appeared before them yet again. With a simple lift of his hands, the figure of Kayaba began to speak.
''Welcome back, players. You probably all wonder what you are doing here, back in the plaza where it all started,'' Kayaba started, his voice calm despite the thousands of glares of paralyzing anger.
''As you all may have noticed, a large portion of the players haven't used the game and took the opportunities I have given you that many would only dream off.'' Kayaba's voice was soft. Many of said players suddenly shivered in both anger and fear.
''But that will change, starting from today. Today, I will implement changes in the world of Sword Art Online. And they are as followed,'' the large figure announced before a new pop-up appeared in everyone's HUD.
''There will be four new changes. Firstly, all training of your skills will now give you experience. This means you can become stronger without needing to leave the borders of the safe zones.'' The message was not as bad as it seemed for the players in the plaza.
''However, if time-framed conditions are not met within set time, you will be deleted from this world – no exceptions,'' Kayaba added, unspoken anger slowly building in that unearthly voice.
He moved to continue yet was slightly taken aback when a player appeared before him, two swords prepared to pierce straight through the red cloak. ''Now, let's see what's under that cloak!'' Deadpool shouted, the swords just striking the cloak before he was sent back by an immortal pop-up and Crime Prevention Code.
Kayaba's right hand lowered as he continued, ''Lastly, due to some unusual events, some further changes were made. And since this too was an idea from the gentleman over there, I shall give you all an opportunity to present to me your creativity. In your submenu, there will be a way to insert ideas into the Suggesting List. Be warned though: misuse or non-serious ideas will result in immediate erasure. Now, this is the last time you will see me. Future updates will be done without any warning. This is the end of the Sword Art Online first update. Good luck, players.''
With those words, the figure vanished into oblivion, together with the red-blood sky and the barriers that had blocked the players from escaping the plaza. Scratching the back of his head in annoyance, Deadpool stood up from his crash landing and shifted his eyes to the sky. ''You goddamn prick! Next time we meet, I'll jab a sword up that virtual ass of yours!'' [Time for us to be the actor!] {We got a plan?} Yes. Improvise!
Many faces turned to the shouting red-clothed-player. Deadpool, knowing that he had the attention of the general public, looked to the sky. ''Think you are so safe up there, high and mighty? I will personally come to drag you down, so you better watch out!'' Deadpool thundered confidently. The effect was almost instant as many players rose to their feet and stared at the Merc with amazement. Kirito, Argo, Asuna, and Yuna stood beside the Merc, Kirito joining him with, ''No, we will drag him down together.''
Perhaps it wasn't the best decision. Perhaps he had made a mistake in the long run for his long-awaited world and the system supposed to run it. However, Kayaba couldn't care less as he watched in the plaza with silent and hidden amazement. The loud call for war against him, thousands upon thousands of players in motion as a few players in the foreground lead the way. Several other players began their journey through the safe zones and, perhaps, the wilderness of his castle.
Retreating to a nearby inn, he locked the door using his administration rights and opened the book that the Merc had given him. How exactly, Kayaba did not know, but somehow, that man had a manual in his possession with every bit of detail about the game and its items – together with how much experience one should earn when said item was crafted or forged. The part with the campaign quests was quite thrilling as well, each part including how to add them into the game without breaking the reality of the story.
The reason this could be a mistake was a few important details. Although Cardinal had the ability to adapt, Kayaba knew that it would require a lot of data and could easily go wrong. The many test runs, and the necessity of the Hollow Area, were clear signs of that. Even now, he required the help of everything the game had to give, including reactivating MCPH001 and MCPH002 to a certain extent.
Nevertheless, he felt excited. Excited for what the future of his plan, the future of his story and, above all else, the future of his dream had in store for him.
His entrusted blade in hand, Cloak of Darkness equipped, a susceptible opponent in front of him and his companions by his side, that was the moment Kirito felt the most comfortable. If you took his latest position into account, anyone could understand why the black-haired boy was nervously pacing in the male dressing room of the palace, his usual attire forgone for sublime black and white.
''Easy, buddy. You look fine as hell,'' Deadpool grinned, laying across the furniture featured in the not-very-modest interior of the room.
''You do understand that I'll beat your ass if you are lying,'' Kirito barked nervously, before trying to shake his nerves away. ''I was okay with a celebration party. Why did Kayaba have to change it to a wedding?''
''No point in guessing now. That guy is more unpredictable than me!''
Kirito raised an eyebrow. ''You're a close runner-up. Anyway, let's get this over and done with.'' Oh, if you only knew.
Before Kirito could open the door to the party room, to what he considered hell, he was stopped. ''Hold up, pretty boy. You are clearly not understanding things.''
Shifting his attention to Deadpool, Kirito raised another eyebrow, prompting the Merc to continue.
''You see, with an event like this, you must dress up accordingly – with crazy decent stuff. I see a party with a lot of food, a full group of NPC's you can mess around with and countless beautiful ladies in dresses. Trust me, after this, you'll be a man of culture.''
Rolling his eyes, Kirito opened the door and entered the large ballroom that served as the location for the wedding, and afterparty, between the Dark Elf Queen and the Forest Elf King. The room was filled with dozens of dark, and a few forest, elves; Kirito's shoulders relaxed as he noticed how all of the cursors were green. However, when he noticed the elves all in formal wear that were levels above his {In his head}, his shoulders tensed again. [Why did you have to do that?]{Because Jesus-kun's looks are the bomb! Just wanted to note that}.
''Fuck this shit, I am out,'' the boy suddenly muttered, only to be stopped by his companion in a red suit.
''Nope. As much as I love the memes you have been throwing around these past few days, I can't allow you to leave. Just trust me – this shit is going to be amazing,'' Deadpool begged with puppy eyes.
Hating himself for having a weak spot for his oldest and craziest companion, Kirito finally gave in as he sighed, ''Fine, I trust you. Now, where are the others?''
A soft voice answered that question, ''Are you looking for us?''
''Well, took you guys long enough. DP was a rea...'' the boy wanted to continue his sentence as he turned around, yet not a single sound could come out of his suddenly very dry throat. An unearthly beauty stood with a lack of confidence in front of the group, her usual armor exchanged for a purple, well-fitting, long dress, her gratuitous smile accompanied by a small, beautiful flower in her lilac hair.
Beside Kizmel stood another beauty, yet her usual attire of a coat and simple jumpsuit was replaced by a mellow-yellow dress, her typical wild hairstyle neatly combed to the side. Her usual whiskers were nowhere to be found and the girl that was usually hidden behind them stared with a healthy blush and smile at her male companions. [Why are we not interrupting this?]{This is culture, my friend!}
On the other side of Kizmel stood a player more used to these parties. Moving with studied perfection, her slender figure and beautiful curves were perfectly accentuated by the beautiful dark blue dress she was wearing. Blue? [I was expecting red and white.]{Something about bride colors!} With a system generated hair-bun, her gentle smile greeted the two gentlemen.
Next to Argo was the last of the four beauties, her light-blue dress fitting almost strangely perfectly with her brown eyes and nervous smile. Kirito could not get a single word out, the girls staring back with a confused expression and a bit of impatience at their black-haired companion. Deadpool had no problem breaking that silence though, as he piped up, ''You know what they say; Words are silver, silence is gold.''
''Wasn't that supposed to be involving food?'' Argo asked.
''Perhaps, but a bigger compliment than that you are not going to get,'' Deadpool answered as he pointed at his companions' still bewildered companion. ''I think he doesn't mind eating you right now.'' Red as a traffic light. That were the faces of the three girls and Kirito, who were about to punch his companion despite the pompous ambiance.
The wedding itself was not spectacular in the slightest, the marriage a political one instead of one of true love. Having been married more times than a finger could count, Prick, Deadpool decided to keep himself at ease for the afterparty. However, when that party broke out, the music did not allow him, or his companions, that.
''As much as I like our culture, our music could definitely use a human touch,'' Kizmel noted, standing with her companions at a standing table.
Deadpool didn't need another cue as he teleported to the elf concert, activated his in-built microphone, mimicked as if he was holding a mic and whispered for the band to shut up for a second. After they did as instructed, he began. Without turning around, Deadpool mimicked a conductor to lead the piano-ish guy and began. (Something Just Like This. Nightcore duet Version).
"I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman's control
And Batman with his fists
And clearly, I don't see myself upon that list.''
Deadpool took a short pause at that moment, noticing how every NPC and player had taken a liking to his mimicked voice. He set his gaze on Yuna, pointed at her and said, ''But she said..''
As if something had taken over her, Yuna's chant activated. As if perfectly practiced, both players sang,
''Where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
"I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo.''
That moment, Deadpool's conductor's hand shot up, focused on the piano-ish and the guitar-like elf guy and decided to take it up a notch.
''Oh, I want something just like this
I want something just like this.''
This time, Deadpool lowered his hand and shifted it back to the piano elf, giving Yuna a clear cue, that it was time for her solo. As Yuna prepared herself for the next couplet, Deadpool could see the elves, Kizmel and his friends getting into the groove. At the same time, Kirito watched the brown-haired songstress with an intrigued gaze.
''I've been reading books of old,
The legends and the myths,
The testaments they told,
The moon and its eclipse,
And Superman unrolls,
A suit before he lifts,
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits.''
Yuna's gaze shifted from the crowd to Deadpool, although she had someone else in her mind, pointed at him and said,
''But he said,'' and together they continued.
''Where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts.
Some superhero,
Some fairytale bliss,
Just something I can turn to,
Somebody I can miss.
"I want something just like this
I want something just like this
"I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Oh, I want something just like this
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
"Where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts
Some superhero
Some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this
"Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this.''
When the music finally stopped, Yuna's smile enlightened the already ecstatic forest and dark elves, Kizmel starting the shouts for an encore. As she had noticed how both bride and groom had enjoyed the change in music, she dared to do as such.
An evening that did not have the best start, suddenly became a party to remember. For both elf sides, as well as Cardinal, a new inspiration for music was found. For Kizmel, it was deemed a worthy end – if this was indeed the end of her adventure with her friends. For Asuna, Argo, and Yuna, a moment in which they could truly live in the virtual world. For Kirito, a lesson and growth as a man. But only one knew that this evening was far from over.
As the true celebration began, as well as the homage of the players and Kizmel, the queen finally asked the question.
''Human warriors. No. Heroes of the kingdom of Lyusula. You have assisted us greatly in beating the Fallen and ending this war. If it wasn't for your assistance, we would have probably all been killed by the mischievous plots of the Fallen. If there is anything you desire that my name allows, please, name it.'' At that moment, the cursor of the queen switched from a standard green to a quest.
Deadpool grinned, stood up from his spot politely, as he temporarily needed to be for his plan to succeed, and spoke up, ''Actually, there is something, your highness.''
Seeing that he could continue, his friends staring at him confound, he advanced, ''I have two requests. While there are two, I need only one to be satisfied.'' [You copied this from progressive.]{Novel four to be precise!}.
''Very well. Word your request,'' the queen ordered with delicacy.
''Join us in our quest for the liberation of the castle of Aincrad.''
Large data was maneuvered through the database of Cardinal, entwined into complicated links. However, the result of the latest update had the system overloaded with tasks. That, as unlikely and miraculously as it sounded, created a tear in the system crossing dimensions of time and space. The effect. Dozens of interdimensional gaps appearing all over Aincrad.
In the simple town of Tolbana stood a young girl, her long purple hair dancing with the wind as her childish face stared questioningly around her. In the city of Urbus, a rupture in the sky appeared before another person fell out, harshly tumbling onto a roof before bouncing and landing flat on the ground. Standing up, her long blond hair fell graciously onto her golden armor, warrior eyes scanning the area intensely.
The third floor was the host of yet another foreign visitor. Green robe and blond hair paired with a disgusting face and two tiny, bewildered eyes, he glanced around him, a sinister smile rising. Before anything else could happen though, a flash beamed behind him, and mere seconds later two figures stood at the edge of Aincrad.
''What is going on? Who are you?'' The shocked player, once known as the fairy king, asked the man standing before him, his feet on the rail of Aincrad.
''No need to know my name. Just jump already. You are not needed in this world.'' Deadpool asserted, easy going as he flapped his fingers, indicating his target had to hurry. ''Come on, I don't have all day.''
''Are you stupid? Do you know who you have before you? I am the great Fairy King Oberon! How dare you speak to me in such a tone! The nerves of a commoner such as yourself. I am a god!''
As the monologuing player kept going, bragging to himself further than the skies, Deadpool shifted his attention to the side and asked, ''Can you get this over with? We are going to miss the rest of the introductions! I wish I could kick him myself.''
Oberon broke out of his self-adoration and spoke mockingly, laughing, ''Kick me? Ask me to jump from Aincrad's border?! What are you? An idiot? This is madness.''
Understanding the underlying message, Deadpool stared at the fairy king with a questioning gaze. ''Madness?'' Looking into his mind, he saw Jim nodding once on his unspoken question and shouted. ''This is Deadpool!'' before his kick sent Oberon flying off Aincrad's border.
As the former villain of SAO shattered into oblivion, Deadpool shifted his attention to the main road and said, ''Puny god.'' [Unfortunately, we are not green]{Or 9 feet tall!} ''But it's the thought that counts. Now, let's continue with the gaps.''
Unfortunately for Deadpool, the distraction had taken too much time, resulting in the gaps being closed and the visitors already leaving their landed areas. ''For fuck's sake! Even in only 100 words, that asshole is a complete waste of time.''
As Deadpool walked back to the main settlement of the tenth floor, mumbling something about the okonomiyaki and foreign ingredients of the floating castle, Aincrad was set for a whole new adventure.
Author's note:
So that was chapter 8.
Only two months since my last update. Considering the beta reading had taken half a month, I see that as an improvement. I really have not much else to say. Let me know what you thought about it the chapter and if you have any ideas. Reviews are always greatly appreciated.
Anyway, hope you have enjoyed this chapter and see you legends in the next one. Beyor out!
''And to sum this chapter up with another meme: Remember, no logic.''
