Alfheim 2

Chapter 20: Tenth Boss; Vladmir

The newcomer who had arrived and saved the three players was none other than Kirito, Suguha's sibling. Kirito had caught up to the three players and helped them get out of a bind.

Leafa walked up to Kirito and said with tear filled eyes, "K... Kirito? Is that really you?"

Kirito smiled and said, "Yeah Sugu, its me. I came as soon as I saw you playing it when I visited you last week. You looked busy so I talked to mom for a bit and left because I was late for something."

Leafa hugged Kirito and said while still in his arms, "Sorry for not being off ALO2 to talk, I've been busy helping my new... uh friend with the game."

As Leafa stepped back, Kirito explained, "You don't have to apologize, really. Like I said, I was late for something. Anyway, do you have any idea how long it took me to catch up to you guys? It took longer than it should have honestly, you guys don't stop hardly. When you did stop, I logged on and sped through each dungeon to catch up."

Hirada stepped up, "Sorry about that, I am in a rush to get to the end of the storyline so I can save my sister."

Kirito was then shocked, "Your sister? Was her name by any chance Yui?"

Hirada stated, "Yeah actually she is called Yui, why do you ask?"

Kirito took a seat on a nearby step and thought for a minute, "One more thing, was she taken from the mall near central?"

Hirada sat near him and answered, "Yeah, how do you know that?"

Kirito then stated, "Well, I was there that day with Asuna and we saw the whole thing take place nearly. Asuna heard the blast and we both rushed up to check what it was, I saw someone carrying a girl on his shoulders, who greatly resembled our in-game daughter Yui. We were very confused, as we waited for the smoke to clear and began waking everyone up."

Hirada remembered, "Wait a second! You were that guy who helped up the waitress didn't you? I remember you somewhat. Did that guy get too far for you to give chase?"

Kirito looked down, "Yeah, by the time we saw the guy, he was already escaping out a window. He had a mask on so noone could tell who he was. He was pretty quick I might add."

Hirada's eyes were now ready to flood, "Dammit! When I find that Kisuke Yamamoto I am gonna..."

Kirito remembered something, "Kisuke... Yamamoto? I recognize that name from the Beta. That guy did give me the creeps while talking to him, but he never seemed like the kind to do such a thing though."

Hirada then stated, "Sitting here talking about it isn't going to get anything done. So, if your ready to go, Yusuke and Leafa, lets finish this dungeon alright?"

Kirito stopped Hirada and told him, "Listen, rushing through this dungeon will not be an easy task. I must warn you this dungeon is nearly impossible to complete in one run. Let me join in your pact as a 'Guest', it'll make everything easier on you guys, I promise!"

Hirada thought for a minute and answered, "Alright Kirito. Join real quick and lets be going. I want to stop that asshole from doing anything bad to my sister!"

Kirito looked into Hirada's eyes and recognized the same look he had when Asuna was in trouble and said softly, "Sure thing man. Let's go."

They all got ready and traverse the dungeon at a seemingly slow pace since it took at least an hour and a half to make it to the mini boss alone. They defeated it quite easily actually and headed for the boss.

Upon making it to the boss door they all stopped as Kirito said, "Guys, I kinda already seen this boss before, so if you don't mind. I'd like to take it out myself."

Hirada offered, "Well, lets all take turns trying at it? You know it'd be very fun to try out once since it is the last boss and we now have a guest to do it with."

Kirito nodded and agreed, "Yeah man. Lets do this!"

They all stood in front of the door as it crept open and tons of dust came spewing forward. Everyone covered their eyes as they waited for the dust to clear before advancing.

All four of them walked into the room and was immediately greeted by a pitch black room as the door slammed closed behind them. They all looked around knowing they couldn't see a thing for all the darkness.

It was quiet for a minute before the sound of a deep organ began playing an evil tune. The darkness began fading as the organ music grew louder and louder. The darkness finally receeded as the room was well lit now with a lot of candles.

A robed figure could now be seen playing the organ. The figure stopped playing the organ as he turned around, causing his cape to flutter off his front side and whipping around to his back.

He stood up and started walking down some small steps applauding and in his deep, hollow voice he stated, "Well done. Well done! You have all made it to the tenth boss first. I must congradulate you for your efforts."

He then leapt in the air and landed at the bottom of the steps and posed, "Now, I overheard you guys outside the door, so, who is the first one to have a go at me?"

Yusuke felt brave, "I'll do it. I haven't had the time to battle bosses much. Let me give it a try first." He then drew his sword, and was ready to battle on the spot.

The boss then stated quickly, "Oh yeah, I forgot to introduce myself, I am Vladmir the Vampire King! I am the final dungeon boss! Come get some!"

Yusuke then gripped his sword and rushed at Vladmir, as the boss did the exact same thing with his sword, Maroon Moonlight. The first battle was about to commence! Will Yusuke be able to defeat Vladmir very first thing? Find out next time.

Alright guyz, I realize that I haven't written on this story in a good while and I just thought I should at least try to write in it some today. Its getting close to ending soon so I'm not really wanting to end it :( It still has some awesomeness left, don't worry! Next time in Chapter 21: Round 2: Kirito's Turn, Yusuke apparently couldn't stop Vladmir, so Kirito steps in to try, can he do it? Wait and see... until next time guyz, stay awesome and keep reading!
