Alfheim 2

Chapter 4: Beta Bosses Finale

There stood Leafa with her sword, Fairy Soul, ready to take on the weakened Lawrence. With Lawrence also ready for battle in the middle of the room with his sword at the ready.

Leafa charged Lawrence who just stood there with his sword in his hand as he says, "I didn't know some ladies had the guts to charge head first like that. But I am a boss, I don't work that way." His other hand swiftly made some gestures as he put his hand forward and chanted, "Armored Angels, come forth!"

Leafa stopped quickly and saw that three angels with large wings appeared from light portals in the ground. She still charged them with full knowledge of being outnumbered and outmatched. She ducked a swing from one of the angels as she slashed the legs of the other angel and then decapitated the swinging angel.

Lawrence's voice rang confidently behind his mask, "Oh! Your a sharp young lady I'll give you that! I guess I will have to KO you myself!" Lawrence then put his sword up and said, "Give me your worst!"

Leafa got ready and did just that. She quickly rushed behind Lawrence and slashed three times causing his health gauge to drop some. Lawrence went to slash at her but her swift movements allowed her to manuever behind Lawrence yet again and slash upwards causing his health gauge to drop some more.

Lawrence then realized she may kill him very quickly if he didn't get his ass in gear. Lawrence then leapt in the air and called his wings. As he was hovering in the air now he flew down in an attempt to damage Leafa but failed terribly as Leafa managed to counter his swing and slash his wings off causing him to land rolling on the ground bumping a little health off with each tumble.

Lawrence was now in the yellow as he stood up and readied himself. Leafa was then charging him with full on slashes and slams which he blocked every one of them and then he punched Leafa in the abdomen sending her flying into the wall. Her health gauge dropped just some.

Leafa stood up holding her abdomen and readied her sword as Lawrence rushed towards her, she slashes and the sword seems to hit him, or so she thought. The sword went straight through him as he slowly evaporated into a white powder and appeared behind Leafa.

Leafa's was stunned at how fast the boss could move. Lawrence then slashed at her knocking her twenty feet away landing her into a wall with a heavy thud. Leafa stood up slowly and realized her health gauge was now in the yellow as she gathered herself and used a regular Potion on herself making her health gauge read green again.

She then got herself ready for the final stretch in the battle and charged Lawrence. Lawrence was charging Leafa as well and their blades met in mid dash. The clash caused many sparks to come flying off as Leafa grunted from the blow.

They stood there with their blades locked in combat until one or the other gave out in strength. Of course with less strength than the boss Leafa was giving out pretty quick. As she was backing off her sword she then swiped her blade to the other side forcing Lawrence's sword to be knocked out of his hands.

Lawrence could just stand there shocked at her strength as he then grabbed her sword as she was about to strike him again. With Lawrence's health gauge now reading just below the yellow area, he then aimed his other hand at Leafa's face and chanted, "Disasterous Discharge!" His hand then blew out tons of off-white energy pelting Leafa all over her face and chest forcing her health gauge back into the yellow, nearly red actually.

Leafa knew that she may not be able to finish the boss off alone she then grasped her sword and charged one last time towards Lawrence. Lawrence also charged her, as they passed each other, both of them slashed and landed on the floor with their feet.

The silence of the moment would give you chills. Leafa then dropped her sword as she clutched her abdomen again as her health gauge dropped to zero. She then evaporated for she was evacuated from the game.

Suguha now out of the game pulled off the NerveGear slowly and she put it down on the table next to her. She then shed a tear as she said to herself, "Man. I won't be of much help if I play like that in the real game. Oh well." She was then called into the conference room to give her review of the game.

After her review of the game she went home and did her chores for the day. After her chores there was a knock at her door that she answered.

It was Yui and Hiro again. Yui then said, "Hey Suguha! We finally caught you at home! Where you been?"

Suguha answered, "Well, school has been killing me here lately and I had to do some stuff other than that so I have been quite busy here within the last week. Sorry."

Yui smiled and said, "Oh don't worry. The same has been happening with Hiro here so he knows how you feel right Hiro?"

Hiro was staring off into the sky as he was snapped back into reality and said, "Huh what? Oh yeah. I have been seriously busy with school and I had to go to that Beta test thing for Alfhiem 2 this morning so yeah I have been really busy!"

Suguha noticed what he had said and said, "You also went to that Beta test!? I went this morning also! I kinda didn't do so well in my test, did you?"

Hiro answered, "Yeah actually I did, my partner was ko'd right at the end. It went rather well honestly. How did yours end?"

Suguha just said, "Well, my partner was ko'd a couple rooms before the boss so I had to face him alone. I think I did rather well though."

Yui noticed the two of them hitting it off pretty well as she said, "Well, I am heading back home Hiro ok? Mom had me something to do and I was supposed to help her with it."

Hiro then gasped said, "What? Why did you wanna come here with me then?"

Yui started walking off saying, "I just wanted to introduce you to Suguha better is all I set out to do today, I'd say mission accomplished right?"

Hiro blushed and said, "Yeah I guess, see you at home ok?"

Yui was then out of sight running home. Hiro then turned to Suguha when Suguha started talking again, "Hey Hiro? Did you want to come see my favorite spot in the city? I always go there to either clear my head of just when i feel lonely."

Hiro studdered, "Yeah... I. I guess." Suguha said to her mom in the house, "Hey mom?! I'm going with my new friend Hiro to that park ok?" With that she then stepped outside and the two friends started walking towards the park.

For now the story seems a tad boring I know but Im trying to add some romance in there as well to get the attention of readers. I kinda was hoping to get some feedback good or bad on how this story is so far so could someone tell me in a review please? :) Next time, Chapter 5: New Friends.
