Sword Art Online: Unforeseen Content
Save File: Light and Dark
-June 9th 10:32 AM Odaiba General Shopping Mall-
Sora was looking through the racks of clothes as she did some shopping, trying to get her mind off things. She regretted everything, her treating the others the way she had, and what with Tai stuck in that stupid game.
"Oh, Sora, hi." Mimi said, catching the attention of her old friend.
"Mimi, I wasn't expecting you here today." Sora admitted. Mimi had only recently returned to Japan, and Sora was under the impression she was helping her family get settled in still.
"I needed to get out of the house for a bit, dad's going on about some big new Virtual reality game with a business partner." Mimi admitted. "I think it's called Gun Vortex, or something like that."
"That's nice." Sora admitted, trying to avoid conversation.
Mimi looked at the girl flatly. "You're having relationship problems with Matt, aren't you?" Sora looked at her utterly surprised. "Sora please, I've seen the look dozens of times before, so what happened, is it about Tai?"
"A little bit, I've been such a jerk to everyone, I doubt you'd all forgive me." Sora admitted.
"Sora, you've been a bitch, there's a difference." Mimi explained flatly. Sora looked surprised at her. "Look I'm being honest, we had this conversation before."
Sora instantly knew what Mimi meant. During that Christmas Myotismon put the final touches of his evil plan into place, Sora got in contact with Mimi about her feelings towards Matt and Tai. In hindsight, it may have been wrong, but Sora ended up going with Matt in the end.
"I think, it's too late," Mimi admitted after a moment of silence. "Tai's not the only one in that game, he may have moved on."
"I know, but that's what scares me the most." Sora admitted in a small voice. She was terrified of what Tai would be like if he ever came out. It was here, the two felt a dark presence throughout the room, and apparently, the two veteran Digidestined weren't the only ones. Everyone in the room clearly felt the same way.
"What was that?" Mimi asked horrified.
-Aincrad Floor 61 Selmburg 11:25 AM-
Kirito, Asuna, BaoHuckmon, and Kyubimon were now looking down four Digimon made entirely out of black flames in the shape of lizards.
DarkLizardmon
Level: Champion
Type: Evil Dragon
Attribute: Virus
Attacks: Dark Flare, Snipe Fang, Darkness Ray, Dread Fire
"So, who wants which one?" Kirito asked with a playful smirk.
"I'll take the three on the left, you three can handle the other one." BaoHuckmon said with an equally large smile.
"Dread Fire!" The four Darklizardmon fired a blast of dark flames at the heroes. Asuna swung her rapier, dispersing them.
"Less talking, more fighting." Asuna demanded.
"Snipe Fang!" One lunged at Asuna open jaws first.
"Tengu!" Kyubimon fired a powerful gust of wind, pushing the DarkLizardmon into another. "Take your own advice."
"With pleasure." Asuna said with a smile. A quick flash of light, she deleted one.
"Fif Cross!" BaoHuckmon destroyed another , just as Kirito dealt the finishing blow the third.
"Kodengeki." Kyubimon was covered in lightning, destroying the final Darklizardmon.
"Well that went well." Kirito said with a smile.
"Finally, let's get lunch." Huckmon said, as he reverted back to rookie.
"Do you always think about food?" Asuna asked with a laugh.
"And fighting." Huckmon answered with a smile.
"I'm getting a little hungry myself." Renamon admitted with a smile. However their lunch plans were instantly shot out the window when a young girl could be heard down the street.
"Let's go." Asuna said, not bothering to ask what to do. The others nodded in unison.
After running a bit, the team of four found a small blonde haired girl in pink armor crying her eyes out. "She's gone, my sister's gone!"
"Calm down sweetie, what happened?" Asuna asked sincerely.
"A big monster took my sister, and nobody wants to help me?" The girl cried. "It was a scary black dragon with red claws."
"Devidramon." Kirito said firmly. With that one statement alone, solidified their resolve.
"Let's go!" Asuna said.
"Uh, where are we going?" Huckmon asked confused.
-Highton View Terrance 11:30 AM-
Yuuko sat down, trying to calm her nerves with a cup of tea. As it turned out, Tai's hospital bills were getting higher and higher. Argus was paying for part of it, but they could only do so much. What with the lawsuits in progress too, RECT could only be stretched so far. Reaching for the mail, Yuuko stopped to see something out of the ordinary, something from another software company, RECT.
"RECT, why would they?" Then she paused a moment to think. "Kyouko." She said with a sharp tone. Kyouko was an old classmate of hers that only cared about status. The last time they spoke, her husband had purchased RECT.
"What does she want now?" Yuuko ripped the envelope open and read its contents. Apparently, Kari had won a scholarship for some boarding school.
"Nice try." Yuuko said with an angry expression. She crumbled up the paper into a ball and tossed it into the garbage. "That accursed bitch."
Before anyone could say anything else, Yuuko felt a strange dark presence. Quickly turning, Yuuko looked ready to scream, only to see nothing. But strangely, she smelled sea salt.
-Aincrad Floor 7 Forest of Shade 11:44 AM-
"So, this is where your sister was taken?" Kirito asked confused. The Forest of Shade wasn't much of a dungeon, even during the original days of SAO. The theory was the programmers ran out of time and created a rushed job that they slapped together during the end.
"Yeah," The girl said timidly.
"Why would Kibaou be out here?" Asuna questioned confused. The girl shrugged nervously.
It was here, the sound of crying could be heard nearby. "Safe bet, she's over there." Renamon pointed out. The five ran over to see a girl in a black hood wrapped up in some rope.
"Hang on." Kirito drew his sword, only to find out, it was a stick.
"What the hell?" Asuna gasped surprised, seeing her rapier missing too.
"Your Digivices?" Huckmon bellowed surprised. Both players looked down to see their wrists were now bare. Looking up, the two found the girl in black missing as well.
"Alright short stuff, what's going, on?" Renamon began infuriatingly, only to see the girl in white missing.
"Silly humans." The four looked up to see the two girls, except they were dressed in outfits similar to nuns with cat ear and wings on the back. One was wearing pink with feathered wings and had a gold trident. The other wore black with bat wings, and held two cross based guns in her hands. In their hands was the stolen equipment.
"We are the Sistermon duo, I am Sistermon Blanc." The pink one explained with a joyful tone.
"I am Sistermon Noir." The black one said, spinning her guns around.
"What do you want?" Asuna demanded infuriated.
"We want to see how powerful you humans really are, so we set up a little test for you." Blanc said with a smile.
"Inside this labyrinth is a Digimon called Dinohumon, defeat him, and we will relinquish your weapons and Digivices." Noir said with a scoff. "Attempt to access your player menus, and we toss your equipment off the edge of Aincrad."
"You little pieces of!" Huckmon began, a fire brewing in his mouth.
"Enough, we do as they say, for now." Kirito ordered, clearly just as upset.
"Fine." Huckmon grumbled.
"Good choice." Noir snickered. "Now, go."
Reluctantly, the party of four decided to go on, knowing it was their only option. Huckmon grumbled constantly as they trekked, seeing it was about all he could do.
"Hey look." Renamon said, pointing ahead. To the duo's surprise, it was an iron sword, and an iron rapier.
"Not much, but we'll have to make due." Asuna said with a sigh. Asuna took the rapier, while Kirito grabbed the sword.
"They only forbade us from using our inventory, I guess this doesn't count." Kirito suggested.
"Fine." Huckmon grumbled. "I just can't believe we let those brats get the better of us."
"None of use realized what happened, and this isn't the first time." Asuna pointed out, reminded of Lisbeth's tale of Witchmon.
After a few minutes of trekking, Kirito decided to break the silence. "So, do either of you know what this Dinohumon guy looks like?"
"He's another swordsman Digimon, that's about as far as I know." Renamon admitted.
"He looks like a guy with green skin, purple stripes, and has a giant sword on his back and wrist blades." Huckmon said with a surprised tone.
"Oh please tell me you're not just making that up as you go along." Asuna begged.
"Lizard Dance!" A digimon fitting Huckmon's description swung his arms wildly at the four.
Huckmon narrowly dodged the attack, and pivoted. "Spitfire Blast!"
Dinohumon swung his sword, deflecting the attack.
"Horizontal Square!" Kirito swung his blade, the pivoted around DinoHumon. However the lizard was quicker, and blocked the attack.
"To slow." Dinohumon smirked.
"They aren't." Kirito said with a smirk. Before Dinohumon could asked what, Asuna delivered a barrage of stabs to Dinohumon. At the same time, Renamon reappeared with Huckmon under her arms. She tossed the dinosaur at Dinohumon.
"Fif Slash!" Huckmon delivered a powerful slash at Dinohumon. The attack sent him back a great distance. Dinohumon was about to recover, when Asuna and Kirito crossed their blades, both charged with sword skills. The attack did some damages to lizard, who vanished in a flash of light.
"Did we win?" Huckmon asked confused.
"I think so?" Asuna admitted, just as confused.
"Hey!" The four turned to see Sistermon Noir running up, clearly frightened.
"Alright, deals a deal, now give us back our equipment." Asuna demanded, furious.
"Ok, I would but two problems, one my sister has them." Noir admitted, nervously.
"Then were is she?" Kirito asked confused.
"Well, that's problem part 2." Noir said, poking her fingers together. "We were watching your fight, and she got abducted by a Dokugumon."
"And you are asking us for help, why?" Renamon asked seriously.
Noir then went into a nearby tree trunk, and squatted down beneath it. "I'm afraid of spiders."
"Alright, we'll help, not like we have a say in the matter." Asuna said with an exhausted sigh. "We better call the others."
"Um, yeah about that." Noir began sheepishly. "We may have severed connection to the messaging feature temporarily."
"Why would you think that was a good idea?" Asuna demanded furiously.
"Our boss said so ok," Noir started crying under Asuna's glare. The four followed Noir's direction, who basically sat on Kirito's shoulders the whole trip.
"Faster, faster!" Noir demanded happily.
"Shut up you little brat." Kirito demanded, only for Noir to swat him in the back of the head with her pistol.
"I'm champion leveled, not rookie." Noir said with a huff. (AN: Does anyone get the reference?)
"Whatever." Asuna huffed, agitated.
"HELP ME!" Everyone looked up to see Blanc hung up in a massive spider web. Not far away, were their equipment, and a rather hungry looking spider. It was massive and black, with a gold horned face mask with eight green eyes. Two orange locks of hair were being pulled down by her front arms. A large skull and crossbones was on its back.
"Well, found her." Huckmon said, not certain if that was a good thing or not.
"Let's just get this over with." Kirito said, drawing his iron sword.
"Wait, we beat Dinohumon, so we can access our items again." Asuna realized. The two players swiped their hands and pulled out some different weapons. Kirito took out Lisbeth's Dark Repusler, while Asuna took out Hurricane Glare, a lime green bladed rapier that boosted defense as well.
"Let's get stomping!" Huckmon said, charging forward. Renamon disappeared and reappeared right in front of Dokugamon's face.
"Diamond Storm!" Renamon rained down an assortment of pixelated diamond shards. However the attack didn't do much, except cause Dokugamon to flinch.
"Venom Blast!" Dokugamon fired a toxic looking spray at Renamon.
"Uh oh, Fox Switch Deception!" Renamon quickly switched herself with a log.
"Spitfire Blast!" Huckmon fired a weak fire blast at the spider. The attack barely did anything. "Sorry Kazuto, all this fighting has really worn me out."
"You and Renamon get to Blanc, then rejoin us." Kirito ordered. The two Digimon nodded, then left to do as they were told.
"Now getting up there is a challenge." Asuna pointed out.
"Or, I could just do this." Kirito tossed an iron spike at Dokugamon, who clearly looked enraged.
"Poison Thread!" The spider immediately ran down the wall, intent on finishing the humans. She fired a web of purple death at the two.
"Time to move!" Asuna declared horrified.
The two players moved quickly, dodging the toxic attack, while Noir joined the other two in saving her sister.
"Well, we got itsy bitsy's attention, now what?" Asuna asked confused.
"Yeah, I really hadn't thought this far ahead." Kirito admitted sheepishly.
"Are you for real?" Asuna demanded infuriatingly.
"Just run!" Kirito demanded horrified of the quickly approaching spider.
"Venom Blast!" Dokugamon fired a toxic attack once again.
"Scatter!" Kirito ordered, narrowly dodging the attack.
"I BLAME YOU!" Asuna shouted enraged.
"I know." Kirito admitted horrified of what Asuna would do to him later.
"Poison Thread!" Kirito soon found himself webbed to a tree, courtesy of their newest opponent.
Huckmon and Renamon finally reached the top of the cocoon, where with a well-placed slash, Huckmon destroyed the webbing.
"FINALLY!" Blanc shouted happily. As she did, Asuna and Kirito's digivices slipped out. Blanc quickly grabbed the wall, while Renamon grabbed their gadgets.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Noir asked her sister, getting them to the upper ledge safely.
"I thought you'd never ask." Blanc said with an equally large smile. The two pulled their hoods over their eyes, and were engulfed in their respective colored lights.
"AWAKEN MODE ACTIVATE!" The two shouted in unison.
"Well this is going well." Asuna said dryly, as her sword barely did anything to cut the threads.
"Well then, secret weapon time." Kirito said, going for his player menu. It was here, something strange happened.
"Mickey Fire/ Divine Pierce!" A barrage of bullets, followed quickly by a pink glow struck Dokugamon.
"Don't worry, we can take it from here." A mature woman said. Kirito looked surprise, while Asuna looked jealous. Both Sistermon had grown up to mature women with their hoods now masks that covered the upper part of their faces.
"We figured it would be the least we can do for you." Noir said with a smile.
"Lucky twerps." Asuna's glare was focused upwards.
"Let's finish this." Blanc said with a smile. Noir nodded with a smile. The two crossed their weapons as they glowed brightly.
"GRAND SISTER CROSS!" The blast deleted Dokugamon instantly, as the sisters reverted back to normal.
"Well that was fun." Noir said with a smile.
"I know right?" Blanc said with an equally large smile. Only to hear Asuna's angered throat clearing. The Sistermon's shrunk in horror.
"We're Sorry!" They bellowed horrified of the girl.
"You should be." Kirito said equally upset.
"Yeah." Huckmon said, running up with Renamon. She tossed the digivices at the humans, who adjusted them on their wrists.
"Well, deals a deal." Blanc chuckled frightened, giving up the weapons.
"And one other thing." Noir pulled out a large fiery ball of aura, which went into Asuna and Kirito's digivices.
"What did that do?" Kirito asked confused and slightly angered.
"It's a surprise." The duo said with a mischievous smile. It was here, Noir pulled out a corridor crystal, teleporting the four others away.
Blanc then let out a sigh of relief. "How did Gankoomon talk us into this?"
"It's who he is, all there is too it." Noir said annoyed. "Now what?"
"You want to go to that place on Floor 26 for cheesecake?" Blanc asked.
"That's not even a question." Noir said with a smile.
-Floor 47 Kirito's House 9:55 PM-
"Man, I'm beat." Kirito groaned, switching into PJ, and crashing onto his bed. As it turned out, the corridor crystal took them to Floor 26, where Asuna and Kirito were reunited with the other Defenders, who explained about the Dark Ocean. Almost instantly, Asuna went to the KoB headquarters to warn Heathcliff. Naturally, the man began to take immediate precautions. Apparently, he also started having weapons caches all over Aincrad about a month back in case.
"Kazuto, were you going to use dual wield today?" Huckmon asked confused.
"I, considered it, yes." Kazuto admitted reluctantly. "But I'm not ready for it."
"Kazuto, you may not have a choice." Huckmon began concerned. "The Digimon are getting stronger, and we'll need all the strength we can get."
"I know, I know." Kirito groaned, hearing this conversation before. Kirito then pulled the covers over his body, trying to get to sleep, as Huckmon jumped into the couch, where he usual slept. Neither was aware of the large black seaside like mist that rose up.
-Real World Unknown location 11:57 PM-
An unknown four legged Digimon ran rampantly through the streets, screaming in agony. It wore armor similar to a knight with a gold face mask and wings. From afar, a man in a black limo watched through a long range camera.
"Well, it is in the beta testing stages, so problems are to occur." He said sadistically. "But you're still a magnificent creature nonetheless." The man only watched in glee, as the Digimon knocked over a telephone pole. "It's not like I can be traced to it."
At this same moment, Kari looked out her bedroom window, strangely horrified at the salty smelly air. "It's just like back then, when I went to the dark ocean." She gulped horrified.
"You will be mine child!" A menacing voice bellowed with rage. Kari was so mortified at that statement, she fainted, collapsing on the floor.
And with that, we are done with chapter 12. Sorry this took so long, I haven't been feeling well with the heat in my neck of the States. Anyway a quick heads up about chapter 13, it will be more focused on the Japanese Digidestined, not on the Defenders. It will just help move the story along a bit.
Anyways, before I go, I have a little Digimon news for you, that personally, I'm not all that thrilled about. We're getting a new Digimon Anime this fall. Ordinarily, I would be jumping for joy, but not for this. It's based on a new subspecies called Appmon, Digimon based on various smartphone apps, with the main protagonists being called Gatchmon. Among these creatures is another Hackmon (Huckmon's translated name) that looks more like ExTyrannomon. I've seen the trailers on YouTube, and I just don't get the appeal. Instead of Digivolving, Appmon combined in a similar fashion to DigiXros. I don't know why I'm not interested, probably for the idea of a reboot maybe?
Well, let's just see where it goes.
