Japanese culture. Cultivation as old as time itself, rich of wars, heroes, cultural independence, art, architecture, music, and upmost for all, cuisine. The tenth floor was a clear sign of the beauty of that culture, traditional Japanese houses inhabited by people wearing Yukata's/ Kimonos. Hair tight to a disciplined bun or tight knot, the NPCs walked graciously through the streets on traditional getas.
''You know people come for the wackiness of me, not for that attempt on beautiful writing, right?'' Deadpool commented, a half-hour after his first casual murder of the story. ''Anyway, we got a busy schedule, so you better stop goofing around and get shit going.''
Deadpool walked through the city of Nipa, his bored eye staring at the small details of the current floor. ''So many details and the game still lags as shit.'' [What got him so agitated?]{OP is annoyed!}.
Just as Deadpool was observing an NPC, a hard wind sent the man flying, a collision following before the NPC stood up again and walked it off as nothing had occurred. ''Amateur. I kicked a real player of Aincrad's border just now and you come with that weak stuff. Pathetic.''
Another wind picked up but vanished just as quickly when a voice echoed in the air. ''Dp, there you are. I thought we would celebrate the ninth floor boss victory together.'' Kirito commented.
''Of course we are. Had to take care of a little problem first.'' Deadpool responded, momentarily wondering how his oldest comrade of this wacky story would react on a murder.
''Oh? Anything I can help with?'' Kirito asked.
''Nah, don't worry about it. It was solved before it began to create a problem. Now, where is that cuisine Japan is so famous for?''
The duo of old walked back together, Kirito explaining Japan had many dishes it was famous for. Its most famous traditional dish was probably sushi and sashimi but others -including ramen, Oden, and tempura- had reached the international borders a long time ago as well.
''How awesome would it be to make something delicious in this game? Or to launch a sword skill, instantly switch to another weapon and completely switch tactics. Or to create your own weapons and use them all to the best of their abilities. So many possibilities in this game, and only so-limited skills to equip.'' Deadpool complained, still having to wait for three levels for his next skill.
''I agree but unless you can have another crazy idea Kayaba would enjoy, I think it would stay that way,'' Kirito replied, his eyes on the additional submenu of the latest update and the timer of the immediate death for anyone who had not gained experience for a full month. The remaining subjects to the tavern were airy or childish, neither participant really looking forward to anything complicated to talk about. Once started the large feast, the humble group of six was anything but silent.
''Deadpool-san, that is not how you use chopsticks! You take the pieces between the chopsticks, not skewer them on it.'' the songstress advised.
Ignoring Yuna's advice, Deadpool continued to use his chopsticks like daggers. Eating the rice like soup -nearly to the point of choking- he let out a content sigh before commenting, ''This way is much easier. You were right, pretty boy. This is some good stuff.''
Asuna ignored the merchant as she asked, ''Do any of you have an idea what to do when we are done here?''
''Actually,'' Deadpool started, clearly ignoring the ignoring, ''I heard some interesting rumors on my way back here. We should probably check them out.''
Argo instantly shot forward, her cup of ramen almost knocked over and asked, ''Rumors? What kinda rumors, DP?''
''Some vague shit regarding people falling from the sky or something like that,'' Deadpool answered nonchalantly. ''It sounds something that I did when I came into this world, so I wanted to investigate it.''
The other four eyes stared puzzled at the Merc with the Mouth. Before any of them could ask for him to continue, though, Deadpool's eyes shot open and said, ''Oh yeah, totally forgot about something. Pretty boy, Miss lovely rodent, here is the book I promised like a week ago.''
''Book?'' Kirito asked, not sure what the book was for. ''What promise again?''
''The bath one of course. How to make quality bath time a little better.'' Deadpool answered with a cheeky grin, that grin hiding more than they could imagine. Certainly, both Asuna and Yuna did not know what that grin hid as both their eyes sparkled at the idea of a bath even better than the previous ones.
Once done filling their hunger parameter, the party of five moved on to their next adventure. Starting at the first floor, Deadpool shook the sparkles of the teleporter side-effect of him and looked around. ''Now, where did that tear in dimension hole something appear again?'' [Wasn't that place called Tolbana?]{Seems we got some traveling to do!}.
''Dp, what did the rumor say about a location?'' Kirito asked one shaking the light of himself.
''If I have heard correctly, it happened near Tolbana.''
''Then let's get going!'' Argo voiced enthusiastically.
Unfamiliar buildings resembling an old town. An unfamiliar town in an unfamiliar world for the young girl that was strolling down the main avenue of Tolbana. Asking where she was to any stranger that she encountered didn't help to ease her worries one bit. On the contrary, hearing she had appeared in the death game Sword Art Online that had a hold on Japan's balls, gave Yuuki a very unsettling feeling she could only describe as anguish.
But in another sense, a hopeful feeling ran through her body. She couldn't really explain it, but something about the game of death that had Japan at his grasp really made her exciting. And since she was living her life without any regrets anyway, Aincrad wasn't anything different for her than her normal life.
Yuuki enjoyed the soft breeze of the cold wind touching her avatar, the same gentle feeling lifting her hair up elegantly and beautifully. The sunshine warmed her skin, which was extremely brown in comparison to the pale-white it used to be in the hospital bed. It gave her almost the feeling she was not walking in her own virtual body, yet it wasn't an unpleasant feeling in the slightest.
Moving through the village with mixed feelings of astounding and anguish, Yuuki spectated other players on the small plaza, including the once that passed her without paying any attention to her whatsoever. She was sure that was because of the way she was dressed, no particular armor on her chest or weapon at her side. Yet, the expressions on their visages all looked troubling, as if they were struggling in daily life, seemed to surprise her the most. Weren't they supposed to be safe in the safe zone? And why was there a timer in the corner of her screen? All questions that still needed an answer.
Before she could ask anyone about those though, a male voice could be heard above the crowd, easily picked out from all the others. ''I'll tell you, this is another great idea. I call it 'Deadpool's terrific idea number 2!''
Another voice more feminine replied to that sentence with, ''Could you please not. Next thing we know, we have another timer to be scared for!''
''It is a 30-day timer. How lazy does anyone want to be?!'' The male voice responded again.
''That is not the point!'' Another female voice shouted annoyed, Yuuki finally catching a glimpse of the party of six.
A player in a red-black suit, dressed like some kind of hero. A black-clothed boy, black hair fitting his gear extremely well. A chestnut-brown girl, her rapier dangling on her left hip. Her elegant long hair wasn't the only thing noticeable, as the girl was in every aspect dazzling. She also understood from the expression she was the one who had reacted lastly, given how the girl was glaring the player in red to death.
The one to the fencer's left was just as beautiful, the white cape and brown long hair fitting rather well together. Yuuki noticed a Dagger, yet thought she could see the glimpse of a flute as well. A hooded short player was walking alongside her again, Yuuki guessing she was a girl. However, it was hard to tell with the drawn whiskers and coverage from the brown cape and hood. Lastly, the last member of their group walked tall alongside them, her NPC cursor and pointy ears an immediate detail she could not miss.
Despite the town being full of traveling players, the vociferous group stood out from the crowd by a longshot. First and foremost, their expressions did not have that same kind of emotion like the other players had. Secondly, although Yuuki did not understand much of the world she was in, she could definitely see the difference in gear, meaning these players knew the world a lot better than any of the players she had encountered thus far. Lastly, there was a sort of gravity-feeling pulling her in, yet it was like the wind touching her gentle and warming. If there was someone she wanted to join in this world, it would be them.
With that decision made in her mind, she walked towards the group. Luckily for her -although it still surprised her why- the conversation that was currently spoken about gave the perfect way to connect to them. ''So Dp. How are we supposed to find this person that came falling from the sky? If that stuff is even true, to begin with..'' the black-haired player asked.
''It is,'' Yuuki responded without thinking, the group turning back curiously and confused. ''I am not sure why, but I think you guys are looking for me.''
Five gazes of confused looked at each other while Deadpool was just grinning from ear to ear. ''One down, many more to go!''
A large gray ceiling bigger than any city she remembered could be seen far up in the sky, strangely enough not blocking the sunlight she felt on her skin. Although that was strange enough as it was, the warmth of the sun did not feel the same as it used to do. Perhaps there was something wrong with her own sensation of feeling, or the goddess Solus had something in store for this world. This world, for she had quickly figured this was no longer her own world, how absurd that even sounded.
Through her knight's eyes, she noticed the various symbols appearing in her hindsight, some of the people she met circular while others had a diamond above their head. Some even had an exclamation mark above theirs, confusing the knight even more. And to her slight discontent, her eyes caught sight of several people staring at her armor. Since she wasn't used to walking freely in the capital in her time as an Integrity Knight, those stares at her golden armor had her slightly agitated.
If they continued those acts of rudeness any longer towards her, Alice would have warned them with her beloved sword. Yet, although she carried it with her through the sudden appeared dimensional crack, she no longer had in her position once she fell to the ground.
She had tried asking any of the people around her where she was, only for the rude response they wanted the armor in return for such a favor. Those acts of rudeness would have been punished by imprisonment or death sentence in her own world, for an Integrity knight's armor was a gift from the goddesses themselves. It was something only they were allowed to wear, those divine instruments the symbols for the protection their masters would give to its people.
Alice had given up on asking for help, for nothing good came out of it anyway. The people from this world were self-centered, and she wanted to get out of this town as quickly as possible. But without any weapon at her disposal, she wouldn't be able to stand her own in this unknown world.
She recognized a weapon shop, but once arrived at the bar, some unusual windows appeared in her vision. Pressing the buy button with a confused gaze, she noticed a one-handed sword in the store. However, it cost more than she currently had in her possession.
Alice wanted to call it quits when an unexpected voice rang through the air. ''Need any help there?''
Looking at her right, she noticed a red-haired pirate standing, his facial features not particularly charming. Yet, the smile on his face and the expression from his eyes told Alice he was at least trustworthy. Cautiously she asked, ''What do you want in return?''
The boy held a hand behind his head as he sheepishly answered, ''Would you believe me if I need nothing in return? A good friend of mine asked me to find a person that would have felt from the sky here on the second floor. As strange as it sounds, am I correct that is you?''
Alice turned curiously yet cautiously to the boy and said, ''It indeed sounds strange. Yet, that is the case here. My name is Alice Synthesis Thirty.''
''Klein. A pleasure to meet you. If you want, you can join me and I will explain more about this world until my friends return.'' Klein offered with an honest smile.
Alice's shoulders relaxed as she responded, ''That would be much appreciated.''
Sword Art Online. The death game that had Japan at his balls, and a person close at her heart trapped with his life on the line. That Suguha had entered the world itself now due to some strange real-life interactions, had the younger sister both terrified for her future as well as thrilled to see her older brother again.
Of course, she didn't know where she was when she magically teleported away from her dojo and appeared falling at least a hundred meters from the sky. Luckily, she had a healthy heart, for her entire body screamed in fear of her death. But when the immortal appeared on collision - as well as taking no damage whatsoever- Suguha knew she was no longer in her own world. After asking it to a player willing to answer -as well as trying to ignore the fact she was stared at by a lot of male players - she discovered she had entered the game herself, becoming player number two for House Kirigaya.
Her figure measurements were almost the same as it was in the real world. However, her hair strangely became long and blond. Together with a name that was not her own, Leafa became quite disguised of her original appearance. Only a few could pick her out of the crowd of many, and she believed only one could do it in this world. So with her brother on her mind, - as well as thinking so hard she believed she heard her brain crack - she went in search for the player named 'Kirito'.
What she wasn't expecting, was that the first player she had asked knew exactly who she was talking to. ''A player called Kirito you ask? Yeah, I know who he is. A black-clothed frontline-player partying together with the famous sir Deadpool, Argo the Rat, Asuna the fencer and Yuna the songstress. And there was something else but I forget what it was.'' The boy answered as he scratched the top of his head in the thought process.
''Do you know where I can find them?'' Leafa asked, a glimpse of hope in her eyes visible.
''Probably the tenth floor. They are front-line players after all, and the tenth floor is the front line.'' The guy answered dryly, his tone indicating he was talking to someone that had laid under a rock. ''Don't tell me you are going to join them as well. There are already so few girls and now you tell me they get another one added to their list. I am getting jealous of those two.'' Suguha ignored that comment as thanked the boy with a bright red color on her face, internally answering for herself that was not the case. She just wanted to see her beloved brother again after four months apart, that was all.
Quickly deducing from other players how the teleporter worked, she stepped in front of the shining statue and shouted, ''Teleport (Shit, what was that city called again?)[You fucked up, OP.]{And you went so well!} Nipa!''
Her sight returned to her after the blinding effect, and her eyes caught the beauty of the Japanese Culture in front of her. Yet, that beauty did not stay for long when a voice shouted, ''Watch out!'' coming from the teleport itself.
*Flop*
A second later, Leafa found herself laying down on the ground, a body of similar height lying on top of her. Two-black pupils met with her own green eyes, a face all too familiar appearing a second later in her vision. And looking at the expression her brother was making, he had indeed recognized her immediately. ''Sug..suguha?''
Suguha wanted to express her happiness, was it not for his hand touching her chest in old-anime fashion. ''What are you doing, Oni-chan?!''
Recognizing his fault, Kirito quickly stood up from his spot while a red-color appeared on his face. ''Sorry.'' stretching his arm out to help out his younger sister, he asked, ''What are you doing here?''
''Would you believe me if I said it wasn't my choice to come here. One moment I am practicing Kendo, the next I am here.'' Before she could continue her explanation, the others of Kirito's group had appeared from behind, looking at the exchange with various emotions. To Suguha's shock/surprise, another girl had joined the party as well.
''Sate, sate, sate, what do we got here?'' Deadpool asked, only a second later noticing the godly curves on the one before him. Holy shit, she is thick! [This must be his sister.]{Sweet home Alabama!}
While Argo was momentarily thinking about the Seven Deadly Sins - recognizing the reference almost immediately-, So proud, Kirito coughed once and answered, ''I think I just found the one we have been looking for. Guys, this is my sister S...'' Stopping himself just in time, he shifted his attention to his sister and asked, ''What is your avatar name?''
''Leafa.''
''As I said, this is my sister Leafa. Leafa, these are my party members, Asuna, Argo, Yuna, Deadpool, Kizmel, and one of our newest members, Yuuki.''
''Nice to meet you,'' the girls and Leafa said in unison, laughter filling the air a moment later. It didn't take long for the girls to invite Leafa to a second party, the party of seven split in two parties of four and four. [For any who is too lazy to count.]{you're Welcome!}. Very good OP. He almost wanted to write Your welcome. The humiliation.
''Well, I can make this awkward real quick with your sister here,'' Deadpool commented to Kirito as they both watched the girls talking about some girly stuff.
''I think we have long reached that point already,'' Kirito responded, not sure how to feel his younger sister/cousin was in the game, let alone talking to his female party members. With that on his mind, another question had appeared in his teener thought. How did I end up with six girls in my party? ''Anyway, although I said sister, she is actually my cousin.''
''In that case, your cousin got some nice curves there.''
Kirito shifted his attention to the Merc with the Mouth, wearing a typical 'Are you kidding me right now..'' expression on his face. It took a message to get him distracted from taking the role of overprotective brother. Ignoring Deadpool's early comment, he said, ''Seems Klein found the player on the second floor. They are on their way to the tenth. How many do we still need to find?''
''How am I supposed to know? Some jerk decided to mess things up. That we even found her is a surprise in its own right.'' Deadpool responded deadpanning.
''Glad we did though. Not sure what would have happened if she was on her own.'' Kirito responded worriedly.
''Oh, you are playing the concerned brother. In that case, I have to be extra offensive!'' Deadpool said with a big smile, only to feel a hard strike against his family jewels, sending him flying at least five meters in the air and six meters further.
Kirito looked irritated and angrily, confusing the girls quite a bit when he said, ''I am not playing around. And that is payback from before, asshole.''
An unfamiliar world he had appeared in, different from his own world in many regards. Blacksmiths of various sizes sat at the side of the road instead of working in their forage, working hard on their gear and other metals. Craftsmen and other specialists set between them, the chaos making Eugeo believe there were no Callings in this world. But the main reason how he knew he was no longer in his world were the symbols hanging above people's heads, as well as a strange green bar visible on his own vision. {So there is another one!}[On what floor is this one supposed to be on?]
However, knowing he was in a different world didn't do him any good if he didn't know how it worked. But how was he was supposed to figure that one out? Eugeo wasn't too sure about that. Just tell me what floor he is on, dammit!
The puzzled lay-out of the city his blue eyes gazed upon wasn't helping him in any way, making it much harder for Eugeo to find his way around. And the sort of headache from something unknown was further declining the process of understanding his current conditions.
*Bamf*
''Who are you?!'' Eugeo let out as he was witness to the sudden appearance of a red-clothed person in front of him, superhero style.
Deadpool stood graciously up and said graciously, ''Deadpool, and I will be your guide today. Now, if you please follow me, we have a tight schedule!'' Any more players I have to find?
A long day had passed for the Merc in Red and his party, combat-wise not much of a day to be proud of. Recruitment-wise, they had hit the jackpot, a total of six new players accompanying them on their journey. The four girls could add the purple-haired Yuuki, the golden-haired Alice, the blond-haired Leafa and the black-haired Sinon to their ranks. The boys could add two to their ranks, the first the blond-haired Eugeo and secondly the brown-haired Parker. [Wait, you added Spiderman?]{You significant bastard!} We love you!
''So we ended up in a videogame that kills us in real life when we die in the game? That's sick!'' Parker commented as dorky as ever, the embodiment of his latest actor in front of the three boys. So, Tim Holland. [He was the best though.]{He nailed it!}
''I wouldn't describe it as such really. Games are more fun when your life is not on the line.'' Kirito commented.
''Oh, of course. You are absolutely right.'' Parker apologized before adding, ''but it is really cool at the same time! And we have Deadpool here! It is a pleasure to meet you. I am a big fan!''
''Pleasure is all mine. Now, for our plan tomorrow.'' Deadpool started. ''We need our new recruits to level-up so they can fight alongside us. We need to assist the Aincrad Dragon Alliance in the front-line and we need help Kizmel with constructing the in-safe-zone base for the elves.''
''Can't you just summon all the items that we need?'' Kirito asked, wondering how his partner did not reach that conclusion first.
''Oh, how could I forget?'' [Op is not paying attention one bit.]{Shame!} To the shock of the two new boys, Deadpool summoned one item after another from his back, easily the hundred items in less than five minutes.
''Awesome,'' Parker commented in awe, his eyes sparkling. ''How did you do that?''
''Unique skill Magic Satchel. I can pull items from my back out of thin air. Want some milk?'' He asked as he pulled a can of milk from his back.
''This is all very difficult to understand,'' Eugeo commented as well, trying to comprehend the situation before him as he took the glass of milk, drank it, and added, ''You are telling we are stuck in a 'created world', normally meant for entertainment, but now turned into a game of death. Sounds like something Vector would do.''
''Don't know who this Vector guy is, but he sounds like a dick. Kayaba would most probably like him.'' Deadpool responded, Eugeo and Alice nodding to his words. ''Anyway, I had another idea before we train every last one of you guys.'' Before Kirito could intervene with 'Not another crazy idea..' Deadpool continued, ''I think with the latest recruitment it would be better if we create some kind of guild.''
''That doesn't sound so bad,'' Argo commented from another table of the empty restaurant. ''With a guild, we no longer have the trouble to be partied to know how the others are doing and where they are. Question is if Kii-bou is up for the option.''
''Well, it doesn't sound like a bad idea. I have to admit fighting alongside strong partners makes this death game a lot easier. I probably am so used to have someone around me these days, I wouldn't even notice the difference.'' Kirito admitted. ''But the main problem lies with who becomes the leader.''
''I volunteer as tribute!'' Deadpool instantly responded.
''Oh, hell no!'' A unison reaction came from the senior members of the game and Kizmel. ''With all due respect, being let by the most unpredictable player in the game is probably the worst idea to go by,'' Argo added.
''Or the best!'' Deadpool retorted.
Kirito shook his head as he ignored that latest statement and said, ''I think it is best to make this choice democratically. Everyone gets one vote and the one with the most votes gets the position of leader. You can't vote for yourself.'' he added as he noticed Deadpool's expression.
An hour later, the players entered their bed, the schedule for the upcoming days filled with three actions: Firstly, the training of the new recruits. Secondly, the liberation of the tenth floor. Thirdly, the creation of a new guild, let by none less than The Black Swordsman. [Wait, is Guts here too?]{Wouldn't it be wiser to call Kirito The Black Swordsman 2.0?}[Isn't 2.0 meant to indicate something became better?] Triggered Berserk fans incoming!
The imaginary sound of a piano could be heard, a famous *Dun, dun, dun* the start of a training montage. As the guitar kicked in, the first day began, Deadpool and Kirito taking care of defenses while the others switched in on the offense. When the drum kicked in as well, Deadpool was body-locking a Snake Warrior, others once again defeating it in its unprotected state.
''Risin' up, back on the street. Did my time, took my chances. Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet. Just a man and his will to survive'' the song began as pushups were done, only for Sinon to strike Deadpool for checking out hers and Leafa's chest a bit too much.
''So many times, it happens too fast. You trade your passion for glory. Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past. You must fight just to keep them alive!'' Were the next words, Kizmel cutting her way through countless enemies. With the thoughts of her deceased sister in the back of her head, the knight fought to make sure her new family would not have the same fate.
''It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight. Risin' up to the challenge of our rival. And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night. And he's watchin' us all with the eye of the tiger'' Both Kirito and Deadpool were in this moment's notice, clean teamwork of friendly rival obliterating the competition of mob warriors of various animal species, as well as Deadpool jamming a sword in a Tiger knight's eye. [Ironic.]
''Face to face, out in the heat. Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry.'' A picnic in the shadow? [A picnic in the shadow.] {Even players have to eat!}
''They stack the odds 'till we take to the street. For the kill with the skill to survive.'' The fight continued, Asuna and Yuna piercing their way to the top, the level helping them significantly in beating the mobs quickly.
The next refrain was an all-together moment, all players maneuvering through to the unknown forest.
In this part, Yuuki defeated her enemy with a Martial Art skill, jumping happily after defeating the first enemy on her own.
''Risin' up, straight to the top. Had the guts, got the glory.'' It was this time the golden knight who was in sight, the weak blade in her hands cutting swiftly through her enemies. Eugeo fought beside her, the words, ''Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop. Just a man and his will to survive.'' échoing next in the clean air, the blue sky a sight to behold.
On the next refrain, numerous numbers appeared. The numbers, reader! What do they mean?! From level 1 to level 6, to level 12, all the way to level 20 appeared and disappeared on the screen. With the last repeating Eyes of the Tiger, Argo and Parker continued to confuse their enemies with great agility, constantly switching, acrobatics/climbing, and defeating them with their clawed weapons.
And that was the end of the short training montage, the training eventually lasting a week of constant level grinding. All the players were leveled to at least level 20, and they continued their journey to set themselves in the realm of legendary guilds, creating the amazing guild called [Insert name here.] {Seriously, give us an awesome name!} and continued their task to eliminate the Akatsuki and bring peace to the world of Pirates. For fuck sake, Dp! That was a serious moment! ''A serious moment in this story? Are you stupid or something?''
Days to weeks passed by in an endless fight for survival. A guild of 80 players, a guild of fourteen players and fourteen solo players pushed through the countless floors with tactical precision, their teamwork truly one of a kind. [Certainly when you consider videogamers are most of the time very toxic}.
Perhaps it was because of the many girls that were suddenly joining the front line, or it was because the unspoken leader of the frontline had once again joined their side. Either way, the presence of Kirito and Deadpool skyrocketed the morale, the spawning mobs almost running away in fear for the destructive force of the players.
A spear flew between two dashing players, striking another Animal warrior mid-air before Asuna and Kirito unleashed their greatest Sword skills. Before the beast could get out of his cooldown, Parker jumped from the wall, grabbed it from behind and corkscrewed it in the ground. Standing up - a little dizzy of his action- he said with a bright smile, ''Saw that, mister Pool? I did it!''
''Proud of you kid,'' Deadpool said grinning. ''But don't slack off. If you want to be a hero, you have to work hard for it!''
''R..Right, sir!'' Parker reacted as a student to his admirable teacher. You? Admirable? Oh, go fuck yourself.
The nineteenth floor of the tenth-floor dungeon was conquered only minutes after that moment, the players already charging in onto the next one. Traps were disabled by Deadpool's ingenious tactic called, ''Run, activate and get the fuck out!'' Monsters were beaten left, right and center, the glory of their small victories leaving the path open towards the black granite corridors of each dungeon level.
Two and half hours later, the 35th boss room was reached, at least 80% of the players patted heavily from the constant 100% charge, high sounds of a dying breath heard in the background. ''You guys are out of shape. Really oughta do some cardio.'' Deadpool commented, juggling a pair of knives in the air. [And referencing a beautiful play by Something With Entertainment]To think we could something from Abridged into this story. {It is perfect!}[Anyone who read that in Soldier's voice from TF2 +10 points}.
''Easily said...by the prick... who is... *breathes heavily*..constantly teleporting...around...'' Kibaou tried to say, high notes of air-distress hearable in-between.
Lind, who had caught his breath -although still lying on the ground for he no longer felt his legs- asked, ''I get how sir Deadpool could do this, but how are you all not affected by this offensive?''
Kirito deadpanned as he answered, ''I had to keep up with this bastard for the last three months. A charge like this is nothing if you are used to that.'' Asuna, Argo, and Yuna nodded in a similar matter, all having experienced the trouble of keeping up with the merc -both physically as well as mentally- for way too long.
Kizmel answered with shrugged shoulders as she answered, ''I am a member of Pagoda Knights. If you already found this troublesome, I advise you not to participate with their daily training.''
''No..noted..'' Diavel responding on hands and knees, trying to catch his breath from fleeing.
''And the new recruits?'' A tank called Shivata asked. ''Surely, they are not used to Sir Deadpool yet.''
Alice looked up as she responded, ''Mentally, Sir Deadpool is in a league on his own. However, as an Integrity Knight, none except the other Integrity Knights are my equal.'' Many stood in awe of the confidence she shown as if Alice was the goddess of salvation herself they all had been waiting for.
Eugeo sighed as he said, ''We just went through a seven-day nightmare course just to get in shape. This is not an obstacle in comparison to that course.'' Yuuki, Sinon, Parker, and Leafa nodded in response.
''And the other guy? What was his name again? Jim.'' Kibaou asked
''...'' Jim answered, his blue/gray/brown/black/red?/green?! eyes confidently gazing at the players laying in front of him. {What the hell, OP?}
''That explains a lot. Thanks for the explanation.'' Kibaou replied thankfully, no traces of sarcasm noticeable at all in his scraggy face. What in the actual bloody hell?!
''Anyway, when you guys are ready, we can start the boss battle. Deadpool should be able to summon enough potions for the fight, so when we are rested and equipped with enough potions, we can finally get to the next floor.'' Kirito said, his grip tightened on his weapon as his eyes were solely focused on the black-colored doors.
''In that case; catch dipshit!'' Deadpool shouted, throwing the bottle of red liquid in Kibaou's face. ''Worst catch ever.'' Before Kibaou could retort to that question, five more bottles followed, the red liquid drooling down his face. ''Guess I threw to hard. I think he is bleeding.''
''Of course I am not bleeding, bastard! At least give those potions to me, not throw them at my face!'' Kibaou thundered back, only for another bottle to break in his face.
''But that so boring!''
''This is going to be a long day,'' Kirito commented as he facepalmed himself, his eyes observing how Kibaou tried to catch several other potions without success.
''At least we will be able to see the 11th floor by the end of it,'' Eugeo commented with a smile, comforting Kirito with a hand on his shoulder. ''After seeing all the different 'themes' this world has, I am wondering what the next floor is going to show us.''
''Boobs,'' Deadpool replied instantly, resulting in the entire male-raid-group -that was catching their breath- to stand up, except for three players. ''Now we know who is gay at the same time. Good for you guys.'' [Thumbs up for them.]{Spread love, not hate!} Or something like that.
''Knock it off already!'' Asuna angrily shouted, ready to punch the Merc another time, only for Yuna to stop her in time.
''Stop it Asuna-san! We are not in a safe zone!'' Oh, she is a real beauty. Probably have to watch out for my life though. Deadpool thought as he continued to throw bottles at Kibaou, the vice-leader finally catching them.
''Anyway, in the sake for boo..''*Coughs*'' liberation of the 10th floor and reaching the boo...*double coughs* the 11th floor, we will triumphant today!'' Diavel announced, his face red from the thoughts of beautiful fat cushions. His speech was answered by numerous roars of acknowledgment.
''I see you are all men of culture as well,'' Deadpool said proudly with his eyes closed, not seeing Asuna was about to punch through the dungeon walls.
Kirito held Asuna back just in time as he muttered, ''This truly is going to be a long day.''
Kagachi the Samurai Lord. A large warrior at least three to four times taller than your average adult. Equipped with the armor of a high-ranked samurai, the blade of legendary champion and the appearance of a devil, the boss was without a doubt the embodiment for its opponents' worst nightmare.
''For the boobs! Charge!'' Diavel shouted, the acknowledging roar of a hundred gentlemen music to his ears.
Deadpool started the raid with the first attack, his dual sworded strike parried by the long curved katana of Kagachi. ''Time to dance!''
The attire of the 10th-floor boss wasn't just for show, as his swordsmanship and strength were without equal. ''Yeah right. This asshole got nothing on me!''
Deadpool's blades clashed five more times with the quick slashes of the boss, both blades shattering in the process. A descending blade came falling down on the Merc, Deadpool defenseless to block it whatsoever. ''I am the bone of my sword.''
Two blades blocked the attack perfectly as the incarnation continued. ''Steel is my body and Fire is my blood.'' Several players jumped in to engage the boss and distracted it for the Merc, just for him to continue the chant. ''I have created over a thousand blades. Unknown to death, nor to known to life.''
For the first in this world, a sound that should have echoed inside Deadpool's head echoed through the boss room. A sound that confused several players, a sort of organ sound or piano kind of music playing at a rapid pace. Ominous, yet relaxing. Not only that, but the sound rose every skin-hair of the players in the room, recreating the feeling of goosebumps perfectly. To the players that had never heard of it, it was overwhelming. Even the boss felt its skin tremble in anticipation, shown by the lack of resistance it put up. And that was only strengthened by the blue fog surrounding the merc in red.
''Have withstood pain to create many weapons. Yet, these hands never owned anything.'' The music picked up again, a sort of violin strengthening the tension in the air.
''It can't be?!'' a player shouted in shock and awe.
''Is he actually going to do it..?'' Another player said amazed, anticipation heard in his voice.
''You can do it, Sir Deadpool!'' Another player yelled in excitement.
''So as I pry.'' Deadpool continued, the music and fog almost breaking the tension in the air. ''Unlimited Blade Works.''
Author notes:
So here is chapter 9.
Not much to say on this chapter, except that inspiration was a real pain in the ass. The last update was at the end of May, so... ''Almost three months?'' almost three months. That is actually surprisingly short. Storywise, we have added several new characters from SAO and Marvel (yeah, nobody saw that one coming) and can it be Deadpool has another skill we don't know about? ''Found out next time on Sao Deadpool Z.''
Before I forget, I started a new story called Isekai Ultimatum. It is a work in progress and I am still looking for a beta-reader, but if you are familiar with various animes, games, and comics, you probably will recognize a lot of characters that will appear in this story. It is no parody, but quite dark, so you are warned.
That was it for chapter 9 and see you guys in the next one. Beyor out!
