A/N yes the dates are off normally by new years eve they would have been on floor 49. but i want Beast in prison for a few months. and i really wanted my floor 44.
"And did you?" Asuna asked as she looked at her boyfriend.
Kirito had gone quiet, he was looking down and the others all just stared at him, except Agil, his dark complexion hid it well but his with noticed he was blushing too.
"What did you do?" Kathy asked Kirito a smiled threatening to break on her calm face.
"The Xp reward doubles every consecutive day you complete the quest," Kirito finally spoke.
"WHAT?!" Asuna, Klein, Silicia and Lisbeth all shouted.
"First day its 750, then 1500, 3,000,6,000, 12,000, then 24,000 and on the seventh day…"
"48,000xp" Klein looked god smacked.
"Very good Klein," Kathy smiled and laughed. "You get a cookie."
"Actually no," Agil started "on the seventh day it goes to 50,000 and stays at 50,000 for every day after as long as you don't skip a day."
"With how easy those monsters were I could have leveled up enough to join you on grinding" Silica complained. She had always hated the fact she wasn't able to level as fast as Kirito so she couldn't travel more with him.
"Yeah," Liz agreed for the same reason as her beast tamer rival.
"Me and my guild could have been power houses," Klein whined. He felt this was a great betrayal from his friend, he pouted for a few minutes.
"Not worth it," Asuna said confidently "I hated that floor, even with that much Xp I did not go there if I could avoid it"
Asuna shivered at the memory, Kathy just smiled.
"Ah come on zombie hunting is fun, it's one of my favorite pass times of playing games, I can't wait till we can go there together." She smiled at her husband as he grinned back at her. His wife always got playful when she played the old first person shooter zombie games.
"Yeah," Shino smiled as she sat at a table in her new Cait Sith avatar learning everything she could about her new friends and the life in SAO. "Give me a rifle or bow and sit me up in a tree, I could really get to enjoy that."
"I am not," Asuna stated not realizing Kathy was just teasing her. "A horror fan I don't like zombie movies."
Klein realizing this talk was getting a little heavy changed tactics as only he knew how.
"How the hell did he tame the Cerberus, my guild and I tried repeatedly to get it, we figured having one would really help, especially after the first time we saw the fire breath."
No one answered; Klein started to feel a little stupid as they stared at him.
"He would never tell, he seemed to wish to keep that secret for himself, he opened another guild, called HoH," Kirito started.
"Which stood for 'Hounds of Hell'" Liz added answering Klein's earlier statement of not knowing what it stood for.
"Hounds? As in plural?" Shino asked calmly.
"Yes even though at the time, he was the only one in the guild." Liz confirmed.
Agil spoke up, "I think Dale," indicating that he referred to one of Klein's guild mates. "Would have been really interested in seeing that battle with the field boss."
"Why is that?" Kirito asked and then slapped his own fore-head remembering.
"Of course Beast used a professional wrestling move to finish him off and Dale is a pure nut about Pro wrestling."
"What that neck breaker thing?" Asuna started to ask.
"Cutter," Liz corrected, "A neck breaker is when the opponents are standing back to back…"
"Jesh you're as bad as Dale," Klein stopped her. "You be careful if he found out you're a fan he will be asking you for a date."
"And we would have to remind him you're still a teenager and he is to old for you." Kathy smiled almost laughing again.
"What," Agent Kikuoka interrupted, the first time he had spoken in a while. "Happened next, did he hunt down Pker's?"
"Oh he hunted them all right," Kirito Klein and Liz spoke.
February fifth.
"So, Beast…" Argo started speaking as she walked with him towards a Blacksmith shop on floor 48.
Seems once again the cleaners are running through floors at an insulting pace. They had been discouraged at how bogged down they had gotten on forty-four and then when word got out that both the field boss and the floor boss were soloed…in less than fifteen minutes (Kirito took the credit on Argo's advice)
Lets just say the cleaning guilds were…motivated.
"Just how many is that now?" she finished. She was asking how many Pker's he had killed since his release.
"Thirty-two dead, five in prison." he replied.
"Why the five?" she asked. Beast was not known for taking prisoners.
"Those were impulse killings not murder, even I know sometimes things go bad with no warning," he spoke and she knew that talk was over.
The blacksmith named Lisbeth walked out to greet her new customers.
"What is your Skill level? Beast asked her bluntly.
When she told him he just pulled up a trade menu and gave her a template for a new sword called Lambent Light
"I hear you know Asuna, Make that for her." he told her and added some Col to pay for it.
Before ether girl could say anything Beast turned and left.
"Hold up Beast," Argo shouted as she ran to catch up. "Where did you get that and why did you order it to be made for, of all players, Asuna? You hate her."
"Got it from the angel." he replied not slowing down.
"And why…" she started but Beast just shushed her as the Cerberus just trotted up to them from an ally.
"What did you find Pup-pup?" Beast asked his dog who just growled softly in reply.
Pup-pup was a strange name for a animal as dangerous as this one, why Beast named her that was beyond her.
"Argo?" he asked her calmly. "Leave, I am going hunting now," And with that Beast and Pup just vanished.
She stared into the night, "I don't know what to do Ryoko, he is just getting too…" she whispered unable to finish her own thought
Beast walked up to the door of a house, it was a brothel that he had found. In side was rumored to be a Pker he had been looking for. He kicked the door open and charged in and down a hall ignoring the three bouncers as they shouted at him. Beast charged a door and crashed through it.
On the bed was a hooker tied up in ropes, Beast noticed the fear in her eyes as a man, his target, came charging from the closet. He was completely naked and welding an axe, swinging it at Beast's head.
Beast dodged and caught the man's arm in his left hand and sunk the Dragon claws on his right and into the man's gut. The pain in the man's face and the blood pouring out around Beasts hand made the PK hunter smile an evil grin. Pulling the blades out he kicked the man behind his legs forcing him to his knees.
"Shino Makuna, I have been looking for you," Beast just lifted his fist again and pulled the man's head back before driving the blades down into the man's throat.
His body twitches as he died Beast saw a woman slip into the room and untie the girl, and that is just what she was, a girl.
"How old?" he asked and the hooker who was wearing a simple tunic looked at Beast, her eyes had fear of him but as she spoke they turned to anger.
"Thirteen, the 'madam here felt that was a good age to be a whore," she spat.
"Don't go anywhere." Beast told her and went out into the hallway.
"I am out of here," one guy shouted. "I wanted a good time but I am not getting a rep of a pedo." several men shouted there agreements as most in the house ran for the door.
Beast moved to the next floor and found a large heavy door at the end of the hall. Beast just kicked it open and marched in. There stood a woman that looked in her mid-thirties, she just smiled at Beast.
"The so called PK Hunter ," she laughed Beast could tell her mind had cracked, probably from being stuck in the game.
"You can't kill me, not only am I green but I have a few high ranking guild members protecting me…offfff."
Beast had cut her off burying his fist in her gut. He then took a metal wire and wrapped it around her neck like a dog's choke chain and dragged her out of her room. He saw the first woman as she got the girl dressed.
"Throw some pants on and follow," he ordered and headed for the street.
The woman did not argue, she actually smiled when she saw him dragging the 'madam' out. A short crystal jump found Beast, the madam, the woman and the girl walking into what is simply called 'The Hall' it was the meeting place of the guilds as well as the court room.
"Beast, I'm shocked to see you, Heathcliff almost smiled. "You don't normally take prisoners."
Beast ignored that as he threw the madam down on the floor.
"Shino is dead, this is Lisa Makuna and she says I can't kill her cause she is protected by high ranking guild leaders."
Any mirth Heathcliff had went straight out the window, having Beast decide to hunt in the cleaner guilds was not something he wanted, this was a challenge by Beast and the KoB commander knew it.
"And these two are witnesses," Beast added pointing at the two standing behind him.
Beast moved to the back as the 'court' started asking question, madam Makuna had no trouble telling about her 'friends' as Beast stood by the wall his little red book in his hands. That book was his 'kill' book, the names of those he hunted and will hunt.
"Madam Lisa Makuna, for the crimes of Child prostitution and the ordering the deaths of witnesses this court finds you guilty
"The sentence is death," Heathcliff announced, he would have preferred to send her to prison, he was not a hanging judge but with the number of corrupt guild men he knew to keep Beast from bleeding the cleaning guilds he had to do this. "Beast if you would?"
Beast walked up behind the Madam and wrapped his arms around her neck before snapping it quickly, the body derezzed shortly after dropping to the floor.
"That was rather clean?" one of the other guild leaders spoke, they had become accustom to Beasts style.
"Her mind was cracked, she deserved death but there is no point in torturing someone like that, I don't think she even realized what just happened."
He turned and walked out of the room without another word. The hooker watched calmly as she heard someone ask,
"Did the Beast just show compassion?"
