Asuna's apartment yggdrasil city:
"That was when I really started to glitch," Yui-chan said in a quiet voice. "They were so strong and happy; it was like the only thing to watch that was not pain and suffering. That was before Mama and Papa got close. After that I just remember images, spots in time."
All the girls were crying silently, Asuna looked up.
"Any one know who they were?" she asked in a whisper.
"Devil Dogs," both Klein and Kirito said at the same time.
"Truth is everyone gives the LC credit for PK murders but in reality it was the Dogs that were the first PK guild. They were wiping out groups and parties six months before the LC's famous raid," Kirito finished.
Asuna looked sick, she had cursed Beast more than anyone, he was cold, cruel, violent and plain out mean. Not to mention rude, but now she realized that he had lost more then most, in fact he had lost far more then she did, and no one was there for him.
"That was a bad day, what is worse, no one knew, no one cared then," Klein spoke. "The LC had to do their raid before anyone bothered to deal with PKer's, that's why I never had a problem with him or what he did."
"I am shocked he did not try to kill himself," Agil added as his wife nodded.
"Yeah…about that…" Klein and Kirito spoke again at the same time.
Floor 8, July Seventh 2023:
"Get up damn it, move!" Argo the Rat was trying to move the large man.
He still had the same dead look in his eyes and made no attempt to move, causing her to have to carry him, dead weight. She cursed and huffed trying to get him to the town, by sheer chance she looked and spotted two people, one had a red bandana that she did not know. The other was someone she knew and trusted.
"Kirito…KIRITO!" she yelled, the boys heard her and came running.
"What is wrong Argo, I never knew you did charity," Kirito joked but seeing the tears on her face quickly changed gears and grabbed the strange man's other arm. "What happened?"
"Yeah? He looks dead," Klein asked as he took the arm Argo was struggling with.
"Who are you?" she asked the red head.
"I am the powerful Klein, leader of the guild…"
"Whatever help me get him back to his home." Argo interrupted.
"What happened?" Kirito asked again.
"His whole guild was just murdered by other players,." she replied and that shut the two boys up.
Getting him to the town's teleporter, through it to the tenth floor and then over to his house was quick mostly because no words were spoken, no questions asked, both of the boys knew this was bad.
Kirito knew because he could not remember the last time he saw Argo cry or openly help someone like this. Klein knew this was bad cause as far as he knew this was the first case of pure murder in Aincrad and he knew this was going to change everything.
Argo had the boys take him upstairs to the room she knew was his and Ryoko's, and laid him on the bed before having the boys go down stairs with her.
"His whole guild?" Kirito asked quietly, they had been sitting at the table for over half an hour.
"Or I should say his family, they were more of a family," she answered. "I know he joined with them first day before the Death Game started, and he never left, he was their teacher, protector and I guess you could say the boy's father, in game at least."
"Father?" Klein asked.
Argo told them the story, who the boys were, who Ryoko was and a little bit about Beast. She also told them how they died, how she was returning from her daily rounds and watched as a woman, the boys, and her friend were attacked and killed.
"What about him?" Klein asked and watched Argo shift in her seat.
"I am afraid," she finally spoke.
"Afraid that he will die?" Kirito asked.
"No, afraid he won't" was her reply. Then she told them about what Beast did to the man. Needless to say the boys were shocked at the level of brutality .
"He is mean, violent, cruel and plain out sick. He and I never got along, he hated me and I did not like him but she and the boys could keep him, sane. Without them I fear blood will flow. It will flow in rivers."
"Player killers, murder," Klein started. "And this damn game was hard enough when our only opponent was the monsters. At least with them there were rules."
Kirito sat up straight, "Argo I want you to spread the word, I will cover your fee, tell anyone and everyone on the lower floors about these PK players, we need to find them and make sure they pay for this. Klein, you and I are headed to the front lines, see if the KoB has any news."
" Got it, what about our sleeping beau…"
A creek was heard interrupting Klein, all three looked up. Beast was standing at the top of the stairs, after a minute he moved to each bedroom looking over them before closing the door. When he finally came down stairs his three house guests noticed he had changed. He was showered and clean, he wore a pair of black slacks with a dark brown belt, a black button up shirt and he wore a blood red tie.
Argo looked at the clock, she and the other two had been talking two hours.
He ignored the others as he went to the kitchen and started pulling food out, the proceeded to start making meals, after making each one he would place it in his storage. When he was done he put on his long coat and a pair of sun glasses she did not know was in the game. They were round and had a dark navy blue tint, and they completed the look. He looked like a hit-man from a yakuza movie. A cold shiver ran up Argo's spine.
"Do you have all your stuff?" Beast asked looking at them finally.
They nodded unsure about what he meant.
"Then it is time to leave," and with that Beast started pushing buttons on a menu screen before heading out the door.
Flames started to spring up in the different rooms, Klein screamed as he headed for the door, the other two right behind him. They stood together and watched, Beast just stood there as his home burned to the ground. A notice menu popped up in front of beast Argo moved to try and read around him.
The House of Gremlins (HOG) guild has been disbanded, would you like to seal the name?
Beast hit a button:
The name has been sealed no other players may use this name in the future.
Beast turned and looked at the three, "If you find out who they are and you don't tell me…you will pay the piper for them." He turned and walked down the street, his aura was strong and everyone knew to get the hell out of his way.
After he was gone people started coming up to Argo and the other two peppering them with questions, in which they all told the truth. One, so that others knew there are PK players out there and two, cause they knew with Beast out there hunting, it was about to be a bad day in the worst way.
