Chapter 6: The Boss And The Backstory PART 1
"Is everyone ready?" Diabel asked us. There was a general consensus of affirmative among the raid party members. "Then lets GO!" He exclaimed, pushing open the door. Our party rushed through the door, which promptly closed behind us with a slam. "KIRITO!" Screamed the blue haired man.
"Yes sir."
"Why didn't you tell us the door closed?"
"I think there's more pressing matters currently." As if on cue, the entire room began to glow a deep crimson and a large black hulking mass dropped to the ground, making the ground shudder.
"Tanks up front!" He shouted, "Someone get that thing illuminated."
"Roger!" Sinon said, firing a luminescent arrow into the figure. Before them stood a giant knight in ebony black armor, nearly six meters high, horns protruding from the helm and spikes coming off the shoulder pads, the rest of the armor looked similarly painful and evil. He had a war hammer with you guessed it: spikes.
He had spikes everywhere; it was as if this guy didn't know that porcupines went out of style years ago, I thought. The visor of his helmet began to glow a bright red color. Two crimson orbs appeared, and they felt like they were gazing into my very soul… I was in love.
Kirito stared at the knight; it was what had killed those NPC's. He would make sure it paid. Movement to the left caught his eye; there were five smaller versions of the boss, only three or so meters high, and less spiky, each wielding a sword and shield. "Asuna-san with me, Sinon stall the others, Arek-san try to flank around back." He ordered, three affirmatives were heard immediately.
Diabel glanced at Kirito and smiled, "Everyone else kill that boss, just like we planned."
Kirito charged at the closest minion; an arrow flew over his head, striking another one doing almost no damage, but momentarily stopping its advance. Kirito jumped at the minion's shield knocking it off balance, he swung at its head and it parried, badly, it was now completely off balance "Switch!"
"Understood." Asuna affirmed. She charged at the minion and jumped, plunging her rapier firmly through the visor of its armor, it promptly exploded into polygons. She fell to the ground and rolled. Another came at them but was struck in the head with an arrow. Kirito used this opportunity to activate a [Horizontal] sword skill and separate its legs from its torso; it too exploded. Two more came at them: one was struck by an arrow, and the other swung down at Kirito who deflected its swing to the ground, spun, and relived it if its right hand with a swift flick of his blade. Asuna charged and activated a [Linear] through its chest. The minion slammed his shield into her, knocking her into Kirito. The other minion had recovered and was charging at them while arrows were repeatedly stunning the last one. The second minion's sword came down on them, then a purple slice flashed across its neck and a 'Sick Critical' appeared. Its health broke, and the knight disappeared completely. A figure in a dark cloak fell to the floor and slashed the leg of the other knight, depleting the last of its health. The last minion was felled behind him, having been hit constantly with arrows.
The group turned their attention to the boss: the scene was beautiful. It was at the last bit of yellow in the last of its four health bars, and formation was holding flawlessly. "Let's go help." Kirito suggested. They agreed. An arrow from Sinon was enough to drop it into the red zone. The entire room darkened and the knight began to glow brilliantly-a sickening, blood red color. The Boss threw its hammer at the formation, making a crater, breaking the formation, and killing one player instantly. The rest flew back and were knocked out cold. The only player to withstand the impact was Diabel. Suddenly two huge battle-axes (also covered in spikes) appeared in its hands, and it changed its stance to a more aggressive one. It jumped. The knight, far more agile than it looked, wall-jumped randomly, hoping to catch someone off guard. It did. It hurled itself at Asuna, who was dizzy from following it with her eyes. There was a deafening crash. She lay unconscious in the middle of the crater. The boss jumped again and prepared a final strike, but was slammed by a furious Kirito who hit him out of the air with a [Sonic Leap]. Its health was nearly gone. A purple line appeared on its neck and it exploded into a massive cloud of polygons.
Kirito was confused, until heard a voice say, "HECK YEAH LAST HIT BONUS," addressed to no one in particular then, more solemnly, "I'm sorry." Seemingly addressed to the boss. It was Arekkusu. That kid is weird Kirito thought, Though pretty indispensible.
I scrolled through my inventory looking for the rare item; I found it, [White Knight] was the item name. I used it. Before me appeared a knight dressed all in white armor, "I'm here to serve you," It said, "Command me and I shall obey. I owe you my life for you could defeat that which I could not."
"Take off your helmet." I said.
"What?" It asked.
'Take off your helmet," I repeated, "If were going to get to know each other I need to know what you look like."
*Cough* "Hypocrite" *Cough* coughed Sinon
"Of course." It said. It removed its helmet, revealing the face of a beautiful girl. She had long blond hair blue eyes and a heart shaped face.
The two stared at each other for a few seconds before Sinon noticed that the girl had a green curser above her head. Then, Arekkusu began to stammer something, and walked closer to the girl; the player touched her face, so tentatively that it was as if he/she thought she was made of millimeter thick glass. He/she whispered something, barely audible but just loud enough for Sinon to hear, "Nee-chan? Is that you?"
The girl's eyes grew wide. "Alex?" She asked.
A/N: Hehehehehehehe
What was that? You're probably asking. All questions will be answered next chapter… maybe. ^_^
