Sorry for not posting our story much this month. However school is almost over, so we will have more time to post… Well here's the story.
Hey, in this chapter, we destroy an amazing piece of history~! Sorry for anyone in Britain, but we may make your life a tad harder (increased security and what-not)... Sorry!
.:Kirito's POV:.
After the flight, we quickly got off and got our luggage. Looking around, I quickly realized something and asked Scarlett, "Did we ever get a car or something to get around for this mission?"
"Nope," she replied. "I'll contact Lord Death and see if he can arrange something for us. But we did get a hotel that's not too far, so let's just walk," she said before flinging her bag onto her shoulder and walking away. Grabbing my backpack, I quickly followed after her.
I woke up to a bright light shining into my eyes. Quickly turning around, I opened my eyes and saw Scarlett sitting on the counter next to the sink. When she noticed I was awake, she jumped off previously mentioned counter and told me, "Get dressed before I call Lord Death. While you are doing that I'm going to get breakfast," before getting up and walking out the door. Quickly, I put on some clothes and exited the room as well, wandering the hallways for a bit until I found the little breakfast area. I made myself a plate of food before sitting down across from Scarlett, who had apparently been there for so long that she had already finished eating.
"So did we ever get the information on this Kishin?" I asked, taking a bite out of a bagel.
Looking up, she shook her head and sighed before saying, "I'm going up to the room to call Lord Death. Anything else I need to ask him for?"
"No, that should be it," I said taking another bite of my bagel. "I'll be up soon."
After finishing up, I went back into the room, where I found Scarlett looking at a folder. "This is all the information we have on the Kishins," she said before throwing the folder at me and grabbing her phone. "And, yes, there are Kishins - three different ones that have been working together. We are supposed to take 'em out."
Looking at the folder, I noticed that the abominations were last seen in Big Ben. After noticing this, I asked Scarlett, "They probably live in Big Ben... Can we destroy it to get them out?"
"Maybe," she replied, smirking. "That would be fun, though we need to souls so probably not. Let's get this done because I don't trust Ragnarok with Midnight." After saying that she walked out the door, shutting it in my face (Why am I so mean? Poor Kirito. TwT ~Scarlett ).
After leaving the hotel and driving to Big Ben, we quickly walked into the help building next to it.
"Hello, can I help you with anything?" the young man behind the desk asked.
"Um, yes you can," Scarlett said pulling out her DWMA meister card. "We have reasons to believe that there are Kishins are hiding inside Big Ben. Who do we talk to to get access so we can fix this... issue?"
"Let me go ask my manager," the man stated nervously before walking into the back room.
After waiting about ten minutes, I grew impatient and went into the backroom just enough to see a door leading outside wide open. I quickly yelled at Scarlett, "You really need to work on that soul seeing thing," before walking back into the room and finishing my sentence, "cause I thing that dude was one of the Kishin eggs."
"Crap," Scarlett said. "Just transform into a dagger. We're scaling the clock."
"Yes," I yelled excitedly before turning into a ball of light and landing into Scarlett's hand.
She quickly ran up to Big Ben and ran up the side of it. She got around half way (I'm Izaya! Yay!) up before having to stab me into the side of the tower. Quickly pulling me out of the wood, Scarlett grabbed onto the tower and somehow climbed the rest of the way up. She stood on a tiny ledge right next to the giant clock and told me to transform into a bow.
Doing as she asked and turning into the bow, I asked her, Are we just breaking through the glass or are we going to try to find a door inside of the glass?
To answer my question, she jumped into the nearest glass panel, breaking it. Drawing an arrow, Scarlett pointed me at the man from the help desk, who was holding a small knife.
Grinning like a psychopath, he started laughing and said, "Look here boys, two little DWMA students who think they can take us down." Out of nowhere, a knife flew past Scarlett's face.
Quickly shooting the first Kishin in the chest, she spun around to face the direction the knife had come from. There, near the giant gears, was another Kishin, almost impossible to see. He twirled two more knives, just like the ones he had almost hit Scarlett with, in his hands and stood there for a moment, staring at us. Within a blink of an eye, he jumped in front of us and slashed. Before he had the chance to hit either of us, Scarlett jumped into the air and I turned into a dagger. Stabbing the man multiple times, he finally slumped down and stopped fighting. Turning back into my human form I ran over to the spot where first Kishin's body used to be and ate the red soul that was now floating there. Walking up to the second soul, I thought for a second, then asked, "Wasn't there a third Kishin?" before eating the small soul in front of me.
Out of nowhere a voice echoed through the room, "Yes there was." Maniacal laughter followed.
Jumping out of one of the random boxes strewn about, a man with a median bomb (?) started running toward us. Realizing what he was trying to do, Scarlett grabbed my hand and together, we jumped out of the hole in the glass she had made earlier. Unfortunately, we jumped a little too far and began falling.
"If you hurry and transform into a bow, we might be able to survive this!" Scarlett hissed. I nodded, turning into a bow and falling into Scarlett's hand. We quickly started Soul Resonance as Big Ben exploded due to the bomb. Pulling back and shooting an arrow with a sting of light attached into a building, Scarlett grabbed onto the string and started to fall toward the building.
I transformed back into a human and grabbed onto Scarlett, turning us so that I would be hit by the building. We collided with the slightly demolished tower, leaving a large crater in its side. Falling down onto the ground, my vision was blurry, and the last thing I saw before I passed out was Scarlett leaning over me.
Muhahahahaha! A cliffhanger! Wish Kirito luck surviving, will you?
Where is this going? I have absolutely no idea!
Also, since I can't reply to you since you weren't logged in when you reviewed, SoulReaper888, you aren't reading too much into it. There are two reasons why I chose that number: (1) You are our only constant reviewer, so it's to show you how awesome you are :D (2) It's symmetrical~ Also, curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.
Please leave a review and tell us what you think!
~Scarlett and Kirito, who put an author's note at the beginning and said nothing about reviewing or the cliffhanger at the end.
