So I'm just throwing it out there.
Chapter 2: The Journey Ahead
Matoi and Matsuri arrived at the village that Matoi had mentioned earlier, both are panting, trying to catch their breath, inhaling and exhaling as Matoi looks up and sees that the sky begins to grow dark, the sun fading away as the moon rises, with the sound of crickets cricketing in the background he turns to his sister "What a day eh Matsuri?" Matsuri replies angrily and out of breath looking at the ground "Don't go there. We nearly got killed out there, and I am not about to die on the first level of this stupid game!" Matoi backs away a bit with his hands slightly in the air as if fending himself from his angry sister. "Hey jeez, I'm just trying to lighten the mood here, besides we didn't know that the path we took would be wrought with enemies that we weren't familiar with. Let's just be glad we made it through the first day with none of us being vented." "I guess you're right Matoi nii san, it's just that…." Matsuri's voice trails off, as if lost in thought when a concerned look crosses Matoi's face. "Matsuri?" Matoi asks, then his sister replies "It's just that we've only just started this game and already 213 people are gone, maybe more if they weren't as lucky as us for making it to a village like we did…." "Yeah….I know." Matoi says as he looks out towards the fields they had just escaped from.
"But on the bright side, we've gained a lot of EXP which means we'll live just a little bit longer as long as we're careful." Matsuri then looks at her brother; having caught her breath and gives a light smile. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Besides, I'm supposed to be the medic here so I can't have you dying on me before we get out of here." "Matsuri, make sure you distribute your EXP evenly, although I suggest spending them a little bit more on your healing ability if you're going to be my healer. Hehehe." A grin appears on Matoi's face, then on Matsuri's, then both begin laughing as if nothing bothered them when they heard someone shout "Hey!" They slowly stop laughing and turn their attention to where the shout came from and then they see a player, close to their age coming to their direction, as Matoi gets a closer look, he recognizes the player as the player running and defeating the enemy in front of him from earlier. "Hey I know you, you're the guy that was yelling from earlier." Matoi says as the player stops in front of him and Matsuri. "I'm sorry, I didn't see you earlier." The player replies as Matoi is scratching the back of his head. "Its fine, no need to worry about it I guess." "So I guess us three had the same idea about going to this village first?" The player asks, then Matoi replies "Actually it was mostly my idea, my sister and I are just trying to get out of this place in one piece."
The player has a stern look on his face but both Matoi and Matsuri could tell that he was in the same situation as them and everyone else trapped in SAO. "Yeah we all are I'm guessing…." Then Matoi sticks his hand out forward which catches the player off guard. "What?" The player asks then Matoi replies with "Matoi. My name is Matoi and the girl behind me is Matsuri." Then the player takes Matoi's hand and shakes it in a kind gesture. "Kirito, my name is Kirito." "Riddle me this: Why were you coming to this village?" Matoi asks. "Well I figured this would be a good place to start on getting EXP as well as getting supplies for the journey ahead." Kirito replies. "I see." Matoi replies as Matsuri circles around Kirito, trying to figure him out. "Well Mr. Kirito, you seem like an okay person, so we'll trust you." "Matsuri, what are you talking about?" Matoi asks as a confused look appears on Kirito's face. "He could be one of those player killers I heard about from this one anime I was watching the other day." Matoi sighs in an apologetic fashion. " Sorry Kirito, my sister can be a bit weird at times but she means well." Matoi says and then he turns to his sister" And Matsuri, I'm sure we can trust Kirito since we've been spending the last few minutes just talking about why we're here." "So how much EXP have you and your sister gotten so far?" Kirito asks. "Not enough to get through the game without the chance of either one of us getting vented." Kirito raises an eyebrow when he hears the word 'vented' and asks "Vented? What does that mean exactly?" "That's just my brother's way of saying killed or something like that." Matsuri replies.
"I see, that's an interesting word to use for this situation we're in." Kirito says. "So are you with other people or are you playing solo?" Matoi asks. "Yeah I'm a solo player." Matsuri then gets a wide eyed look on her face in shock of this news. "What?! Really?! You're not with anyone else?" She asks in an excited fashion. "Yeah, so if you're planning on asking me to join in any guilds, sorry. I'll have to turn you down." "That's a shame, but everyone has their way of getting things done I guess." Matoi says as Matsuri pouts a little. "Well we'd better turn in for the night, we've got a long day ahead of us tomorrow." Matoi says as he hears wolves howling in the background. "Right, there's an inn nearby so you two should go there." "What about you? What are you going to do, Kirito?" Matoi asks with a concerned look and tone. "I have things to take care of, so hopefully our paths will meet again someday." "You're leaving?" Matsuri asks with a hint of sadness in her voice. "Yeah, I have to figure out how to get through this game as soon as possible." Kirito replies as he looks towards the fields with a determined look on his face. "As soon as possible?" Matoi asked with a hint of concern on his face, then asks "You're a 'beater' aren't you Kirito?" "Beater?" Matsuri asks in confusion. "It means he's beta tested the game before actual release so he knows what to expect or at least have some sort of edge the rest of us don't." Matoi replies as Matsuri looks at Kirito in disbelief. "Yeah that's right, but right now I'm not that much of a beater. I'm just a regular player like everyone else." "Just promise me one thing Kirito." Matoi says to Kirito as he turns around to look at the brother and sister team." What's that Matoi? Kirito asks. "No matter what happens, live. I don't know why, but somehow I get the feeling you're going to be the one to finish this game before anyone else."
Kirito nods his head. "We'll see, but first, I need supplies now don't I?" Kirito says as he walks into the village. "That guy is something else, that's for sure." Matsuri says as she turns to her brother. "He's going to be fine, somehow I can tell, just you wait, he's going to be the first one to clear the dungeon and vent the dungeon's boss." Matsuri has a skeptic look on her face as she replies "You really think so eh?" "Yeah, I know it." Matoi replies with a confident smile on his face."
1 month later
Matoi and Matsuri sitting with other players for a meeting regarding some important news they had heard about a few days ago. "Matoi, do you know what's going on? Why are we here?" Matsuri asks as Matoi looks on at the person talking in center stage. "They found it." Matoi said. "Found what? Matsuri asks, then Matoi replies with "The floor one boss." Matsuri's eyes lights up with excitement. "Really?! Are you sure?!" She asked in excitement. "Yeah they found it, although, a lot of people got vented trying to bring it down. That's my guess anyways, but I'm sure it's not that far from the actual truth." Matoi said in a grim way; then Matsuri looks at the person at center stage with a grim look on her face. "Oh….I see…." "At last, we can get out of this boring town and we can finally get a move on from this place and back home." Matoi says in his mind as the meeting continues, Matsuri is looking around and she sees Kirito sitting in one of the seats below them, then she turns to her brother with an excited look on her face. "Matoi, I see Mr. Kirito down there." Matoi turns to his sister and gives a light smile. "See? Told you he'd be fine. He's looking a lot stronger too." Matoi says in an enthusiastic manner as he sets his chin on the back of his palms. The meeting continues as more and more players chat amongst themselves, arguing here and there, players getting together and forming parties with each other, and out of curiousness, Matsuri asks "Hey, what are they doing?" Matoi looks at his twin sister and replies "They're forming parties, if two or more people form a party, then the chances of survival increases." "Then let's form a party nii-san." Matsuri asks in an excited manner.
Matoi then opens up his menu, selecting the form party option, then, a form party request appears in front of Matsuri. "What's this?" She asks her brother with a confused look on her face, then Matoi looks at her with a smile and replies "It's a party request, hit the accept option to officially become a party." He says as she hits the accept button. "Okay then, what now?" She asks. "Nothing, we're now officially a party, next up is the making of a guild, the 'Kyukyu Sentai Gogo V' guild!" He exclaims with a huge grin on his face as his sister smacks him in the back of the head out of spite of the 'what if' guild name. "No! We are not going to become a Sentai, it's just going to be you and me and if other people want to join our party and eventually want to form a guild then that's fine, but we are not going to be called Kyukyu Sentai Gogo V, got it?!" Matsuri explained in a dominating matter as her brother shrinks down. "Yes ma'am." Matoi says in a weak and frightened manner. "Hey we heard you guys were forming a party and we thought we'd join you guys." A voice said coming from behind them; then the two siblings turn around and see three other male players, each with different colors, one was wearing blue, another wearing green, and the other wearing yellow. "Yeah, we are….who are you guys anyways?" Then the one in blue replies "I'm Akito Tatsumi" The one in green replies "Likewise, I'm Kazama Aoki." The one in yellow replies "Likewise, Fuuraya Yamada."
"I'm Matoi, and the one next to me is my twin sister Matsuri." Matoi explains as he extends his arm to shake their arms, and the three newcomers shook hands with Matoi and Matsuri, even though she's hiding behind her brother's back. "Matsuri is my name, pleasure to meet you." "So what's this I hear about forming a party and the problem with the name? I'm sorry I couldn't hear much." Matsuri then points at her brother out of spite and explains "My brother is wants to try and make a party and call it 'Kyukyu Sentai Gogo V' and there's no way anyone would want to join a party under a silly name!" She explained. "If these guys are normal then, they should just walk away. After all, no one would join such a ridiculous—" Her train of though ceases with shock as she hears Akito say "Sure we'll join, sounds like something we can get into." Matsuri stammers "Wha-wha-what?! Are you sure? Is your brain shrink wrapped? Are you an NPC that's purposely messing with us?" As she talks, she feels a cold chill run up her spine as her brother slowly creeps up on her with a deep grin on his face. "Hey Matsuri, did you hear that? They want to join us, and under the name of 'Kyukyu Sentai Gogo V.'" Then he quickly turns to the three male players and asks "You did want to join under the name of 'Kyukyu Sentai Gogo V, right?" The three nods in agreement, then Matoi returns to his creepy state towards his sister and says "Yes, did you hear that, they DO want to join us under the name of 'Kyukyu Sentai Gogo V' and what did you say about people not wanting to join?" "You have 5 seconds to back away before I smack you in the head again." Matoi backs away slowly still having that creeper smile, he then looks around and sees that Kirito still hasn't formed a party with anyone and a look of concern appears on his face. "Kirito still hasn't formed a party with anyone, the 'Kyukyu Sentai Gogo V' thing will have to wait since it wouldn't be Gogo V if there was six of us…." "YES!" Matsuri exclaimed in her head and begins doing a little dance. As Matoi was about to get up, Kirito notices that people have already formed parties and is slowly freaking out, then he notices a hooded player sitting a little ways from him and he quickly scoots next to the player and the two begin conversation. "Oh, never mind then, we can still go 'Kyukyu Sentai Gogo V'" He says with glee and Matsuri's head hung in sadness of the news and asks "Why Kami, why?" as Akito pats her on the shoulder saying "There, there, it'll be alright."
The newly formed party was caught up in their own silent world they had forgotten about the meeting and the commotion that was going on at the time, then the shout "Meeting adjourned people!" and they snapped back to their virtual reality, and they noticed the people starting to leave and with a confused look on his face, Matoi asks "Did anyone catch what just happened? Or are we in the dark about this whole boss thing?" Fuuraya speaks up and says "I did. The boss is called Illfang the Cobalt King and he's going to be surrounded and protected by his minions the Ruined Cobalt Sentinels, also Illfang has four health bars and wields a tulwar should he reach one health bar but most of the time he's wielding an ax and buckler." "Okay then, how do you suppose we do this then? I mean sure we have other parties but that's not going to go well I'm assuming." Matoi asks as Fuuraya fixes his glasses. "Simple, we take out the minions first then we all surround him on all sides and strike where's vulnerable while dodging his attacks." Matsuri interjects with a concerned look on her face. "Easier said than done Yamada-kun., a lot of people died trying to find this boss and if they did, then they died fighting while trying to get the info to the other players…." Then a gloom silence sweeps over them as the thought of the now dead two thousand players now hangs over their heads. "Then let's not make their sacrifice in vain, let's beat the floor one boss and show the people that this game can be beat!" Matoi says as he stands up with a look of sad and yet confident aura surrounding him and soon the others begins to slowly smile in unison.
"Yeah, let's do it Matoi, lead us to victory Red one!" Akito exclaims as a look of disgust sweeps over Matsuri's face and is thinking " Kami, please don't let it become what I think it's going to become…." "People's lives are the Earth's future!" Matoi yells. "Here we go, thanks Kami…." Matsuri thought as Akito chimes in "Blazing rescue spirit!" Kazama yells "Kyukyu Sentai!" Fuuraya yells "Go!" Matsuri reluctantly joins in with "Go!" then all of them at once with their fists pointed into the air as they yell "V!" Then Matoi turns to the tower and shoots out his hand towards the tower and yells "Tomorrow, we mobilize!" Matsuri then looks at her brother and sees a confident smile on his face and she smiles a little and thinks to herself "I hate that we're being called 'Gogo V' but if it means that my brother is the one leading us with his confidence, then I guess it'll be worth putting up with….Kami? Please watch over us and help us get out of this world as soon as possible."
