ALO
New Aincrad
Floor 100
The square in front of Haou Castle.
In the middle of the square of Haou Castle, the five gigantic legendary creatures were fighting each other.
On the back of the huge white tiger stood Kirito, with the Excalibur in hand. He is looking at his opponent seriously and intently.
On the back of the eight-head serpent wore a black armor with red cape, stood none other than Naruto Yuuki Uzumaki. He is also the last boss and the master of the recreated New Aincrad. Naruto also analyzing his opponents moves.
The azure dragon suddenly roared loudly and out of nowhere the square was filled with a huge amount of water. But that didn't actually enough to drown Yamata no Orochi as it swam up and began to fire energy beams from its mouth at Seiryuu.
To assist Seiryuu, Suzaku screeched loudly and began clawing at one head of the Yamato no Orochi. With its wings, Suzaku created a fire wave and direct it at Orochi's other head.
Byakko also jumped at one of Orochi's throat and tried to tear it apart with it claws. Kirito on Byakko's back decided to jumped at Orochi's back and engage with Naruto again in a sword battle.
Naruto saw that he is at disadvantage now decided to chant an incantation.
"Tenebris Sphaera"
The dark sphere appeared around Yamata no Orochi and blasted away the Sacred Beasts. Then he unsheath his sword just in time to defect the slash coming from Kirito.
Kirito gritted his teeth and began to push Naruto back. Naruto harden his eyes and kick Kirito away and then rushed at him, striking rapidly. Kirito created some distance from Naruto then charged forward and activate Quadruple Pain. Naruto use Phantom Force and the Quadruple Pain missed him magically. Naruto charged at Kirito with Phantom Sword in hand and forced Kirito to defense.
Naruto was about to continue the assault, but was force to jump away, as the huge shadow suddenly appeared above him and was about to crush him. Naruto activate his wings and flew up to see that it was Genbu that stopped him.
Kirito panting heavily and looked at Naruto from the corner of his eyes.
'We have been fighting for that long, but how could he recovered from the damage that I caused so quickly? Did he saw a hidden skill perhaps?'
With the party
They looked at the battle that have step to the final phase and on the whole other level. They saw the legendary creatures from mythology battling against each other. They also saw that Kirito has advantage in numbers, but Naruto still managed to keep up pretty well. Then they saw the table began to turn again as Naruto casted a huge dark sphere that blasted away the three of four Sacred Beasts. And just that the sword battle of Kirito and Naruto on the Yamato no Orochi's back has began.
Then they saw that Naruto has a control over the situation again and was about to attack Kirito again. If not for the Genbu's intervention, Naruto may even finished up Kirito.
"Man, the battle is so intense. And with a situation like this even if we were to intervened we won't be able to help and just be in Kirito's way" said Klein looking at the grand battle.
"Onii-chan wouldn't of want for is to intervene. He came here to test limit after all. He want to see if his strength enough to defeat Naruto-kun. The one that was proclaimed the invincible player of VRMMO of all time" said Leafa looking at her brother from the distance.
"But Naruto also want to test himself against Kirito-kun as well. Those two were always in the front line fight back to back against each other in order to survive the cruel rule of SAO world. Even though I think both of them nearly even. Kirito-kun still lacks something that Naruto had already experience not once but thrice" said Asuna solemnly.
"And was it that Asuna-san?" asked Silica curiously.
"The experience of near death situation. Am I right, Asuna?" The one answered that question was Sinon. Sinon turned to Asuna with a serious face.
Asuna opened her mouth in surprise at Sinon's deduction. She nodded her head and replied.
"As you know Naruto sacrifice himself in order to end SAO, by defeating the last boss of Aincrad, Heathcliff. And not long from that, he lost all his memories and was trapped in ALO. He eventually was captured and tortured by Sugou, that has imprisoned me in ALO. That was the second time of his near death experience. And the third time, we all knows. That is the battle against Death Gun. I think that only the person that had experience the same feelings as Naruto could defeat him. I am not saying that Kirito-kun didn't have a chance to win. It's just that Naruto's battle resolve far surpass the virtual world"
Everybody began to nod their heads in agreement, as everybody could see that Naruto's battling resolve is surpassing that of Kirito. But even so they still believe in Kirito's abilities and his will to win.
Naruto vs Kirito.
Naruto was about to approach Kirito again but was force to fly up as Genbu began to roar at him. It also slammed its leg to the ground cause the ground to shake and began to split apart.
Suzaku, Byakko and Seiryuu recovered from the damage caused by Naruto's sphere and also jumped to the battle yet once again.
Kirito flew away from Orochi's back and land on Seiryuu's head. Suddenly he saw the Excalibur shining to brightly. The light is so bright that it envelope the whole sword and Kirito's body too
Naruto jumped on top of Orochi's head and narrowed his eyes looking at the direction of the light. Something felt not right here.
When the light died down, Naruto saw that there is the golden armor on Kirito's body. The armor consist of the helmet with two-horn like design. The armor itself also has many sharp points ( Blaster Blade Liberator armor with golden color).
Naruto widen his eyes as he never saw the armor like that. Just the aura it emanates already makes him feel uneasy.
"W-what kind of armor is that? I have never seen something like that before" Naruto asked at shock.
Kirito looked at himself, then clutch his knuckles and feels that he is stronger now. He looked back at Naruto and smirk.
"I didn't know this will happen myself. This armor is the Armor of Liberty. It will manifest when Excalibur has accept me fully. This was the armor of King of Round Knights, Arthur Pendragon. Only together with armor Excalibur could revealed its 100% power"
As the demonstration Kirito slashed the air with his Excalibur. The result was a powerful current of wind blew past Naruto.
Naruto's eyes were utterly shocked at the demonstration. Naruto shook his head and calmed himself then looked at Kirito again.
"I think that's enough for the battle of summons. Let's end it with a sword battle. Time to see who is a better swordsman" said Naruto and dismiss Yamato no Orochi.
Kirito nodded his head and replied.
"I was just about to offer that. No more magic and any deception. Pure sword battle"
With that he also dismissed the Sacred Beasts away.
They landed on the ground together, unsheathed their swords and get ready for the final battle.
With the party
They first noticed that suddenly the Excalibur glowing too brightly in Kirito's hand. They wondered what the hell is happening. But when the light died durn they saw that a golden armor appeared on Kirito and felt that the armor somehow makes him stronger.
"Surprise again? How many are there anymore? First, Kirito reveals his second none-system skill. Then Kirito reveals to have magic eyes. Then he reveals that he could summon the Sacred Beast. And now suddenly he also has a super-duper armor!" complained Klein holding his head with both hands.
"I felt like that somehow Excalibur materialized that armor for Kirito. That is the reason why before that it glowed so brightly" deduced Sinon with her hand under her chin in thought.
"Kirito-kun looked kinda cool in that armor, don't you think?" asked Asuna smiling brightly.
"Well, I feel that the climax will be very soon. Soon we will see who is the winner of this harsh and intense battle" said Agil with crossed hands.
"No matter what happened, we are gonna celebrate a New Year after this, ne? Oh, I nearly forget that Naruto-kun has earned a decent amount of money after the Death Gun incident. Maybe I should ask him to buy me a new pair of boots or even a new fur coat" stated Liz then her eyes shining brightly at the memory.
Everybody sweat dropped at her expression.
"Well, I just wanted for this battle to end soon enough. So we could all celebrate the New Year together. It didn't matter to me who will win. After all I love both Onii-chan and Naruto-kun. I will just cheer for them both, so that they could do their best in this battle" said Leafa then smiling and turned to the battle.
Sinon thought for a while then turned to Liz and Leafa.
"You know Naruto has offered me to move to his old apartment. He said that if I feel bored or lonely that I could move in there. He will be often there to work on his project after all"
Leafa and Liz hearing that and widen their eyes and shouted at the same time.
"No, don't move in!"
Sinon blinked and asked.
"Why? I am actually bored at my old apartment. And if I moved in with Naruto it will be more fun. I am his girlfriend after all. And if I am thinking about what you guys are thinking. Naruto won't try anything pervert, if he even attempt to... I will smack him in the head"
At the answer, Leafa and Liz opened their mouth then closed again. They couldn't of respond anything.
The other just shook their head then turned back to the battle.
Naruto vs Kirito.
Kirito and Naruto are observing each other for while trading blows after blows in their heads. Kirito decided to move first and charged at Naruto.
Naruto narrowed his eyes and activated his Phantom Sword, prepared to deflect the strike from Kirito.
Kirito slashed at Naruto's torso with Excalibur and was about to unsheathe his other sword for the second strike.
Naruto deflected the strike to the torso, but wince from the force of the attack. Then he stabbed Ame no Murakumo forward. Forcing Kirito to raise his armored hand to protect himself.
Kirito flew up and decent down at Naruto and used Quintuple Star to slash at Naruto from above.
Naruto jumped aside to dodge the skill and used Phantom Burst to create the illusory self and rushed at Kirito.
Kirito let the skill hit him and prepared for the impact. It was not much as the Armor of Liberty has decreased most of the damage.
Kirito rushed again this time with electric sword in hand. He began his assault at Naruto again. Naruto was forced to defense and began to deflect as much strikes as possible.
Kirito began to accelerate the speed of his slashes and finally managed to breakthrough Naruto's defense. Using that moment he slashed with the other sword that has a water skill activated. Kirito has unleashed his second Skill Connect and this time he managed to deliver it at Naruto with full force.
Naruto received the rapid strikes from Kirito screamed in pain and was shocked by the combination of lightning-water. He slowly fell to his knees and then lied motionlessly in the ground. His HP bar showed that his HP has only 100 point.
With the party
They saw the final battle between Naruto and Kirito has began and saw how intense the battle is. It wasn't until they saw Kirito has successfully delivered the second Skill Connect at Naruto. They heard the scream of pain of Naruto and then saw he slowly fell to the ground.
"It seems Kirito had won. Naruto is lying at the ground motionlessly now. His HP is at 100 all Kirito need is the last strike!" cheered Klein.
Meanwhile the girls felt somewhat bad seeing Naruto lying helplessly like that. But they also remembered that this is not SAO. You won't die for real here if you were defeated. Still it was the second time they saw Naruto lied helplessly on the ground. It just feels off, because Naruto was always the winner of all battles. So seeing this side of Naruto makes them realized that Naruto is not actually invincible.
Naruto vs Kirito.
Kirito took a deep a breath then looked down at the montuno less form of Naruto and said.
"It was a very hard battle, but I've become the winner, Naruto. You are clearly the strongest opponent I have ever faced. You strength is that scary that if I couldn't of obtained the Excalibur and the Armor of Liberty there is no way I could have win. This is a good bye strike, my rival"
With that Kirito prepared to stab Naruto. But suddenly a huge battle lust coming from Naruto's motionless figure. He jumped back at a certain distance and observed what is happening now.
Naruto slowly stood up like a zombie. Then he looked up and Kirito shivered then felt goosebumps look at Naruto's eyes. Naruto's eyes were icy cold and merciless. He looked at Kirito with that icy eyes and said.
"Nothing is over yet, Kirito. But now I will end this battle. You won't be able to win against me. You know why? Because you did not experience the true danger of battle. Sure you fought with some member of LC when the clearing party decided to wipe out the guild. But it was nothing compared to what I have experienced. The horror of the near death experience. You lack that feeling in order to defeat me. But due to respect for you, I will show you my original sword skill. The skill that I invent by combining Ryusosen, as well as your Star Burst Stream. My own OSS, Final Requiem"
"F-Final... Requiem? The skill that combined Ryusosen and Star Burst Stream into one?" Kirito asked at shocked at the revelation.
Naruto stood in his stance with his right hand extend forward holding the sword. Kirito gulped and prepared to intercept Naruto's OSS.
Naruto moved his foot a little then disappeared in the burst of speed and reappeared at Kirito's right side and deliver a 40-hit combo slash with lighting speed that caused Kirito's eyes to widen in horror as well as in amazement. All the 40 strikes were delivered at Kirito and send him flying to the back before he was transformed into a dark purple torch.
Naruto took a deep breath before turned from his back to face the dark purple torch.
With the party
They saw that Kirito was about to deliver the last strike to end Naruto. But suddenly a huge amount of battle lust coming from Naruto's unmoving figure. Then they saw Naruto slowly stood up like a zombie and showed his merciless icy eyes like that of a killer. They all felt goosebumps just looking at those eyes.
And then they heard that Naruto was about to unleash his OSS.
When they witness the result of the skill they were utterly shocked and could even say a single word. They could only open their mouth and gasped as the skill was performed. Each strike was faster than the former and just that all the 40 strikes hit Kirito and killed him.
They looked at the quest and saw it say 'You failed'.
After a while, Agil finally had managed to say something.
"So the winner is Naruto after all. I didn't even know he has such a powerful skill, let alone it was OSS. But nevertheless the battle was mind-blowing. I probably would not see such a battle like that any time soon" said Agil very impressed and began to clap.
"Yeah, that was like seeing one of the fantasy movies, only in reality. Naruto-kun has proven yet again that he is invincible" said Liz with a smile and also began to clap.
"Even though I am not very happy that Kirito-kun lost. But I am still happy for Naruto. And yeah the battle really was fantastic and out of this world" stated Asuna smiling and clapping her hands.
"Man, it's a shame that Kirito had lost. But Naruto is not the last boss of New Aincrad for nothing and he proved that to me with this victory" said Klein and also clap.
"Naruto, you are really something. If anything you just proved to me once more how really powerful you are. The strength that far beyond that of virtual world" Sinon said with a smirk also clapping.
"Onii-chan... Naruto-kun. You guys are really the best" said Leafa.
"I think I could never forget this battle ever. Maybe I could even write this battle into a book so that the others could enjoy as well" said Silica.
With the other party.
They had witness the battle from the start to the end and they were surprised with each second when the battle against those two has started. But in the end, Naruto still win.
"Man, this battle will be in my mind forever" said one member of the Salamander party.
"I know right. Everybody knows how powerful Naruto-sama is. But Kirito-san nearly managed to defeat him. Nearly! And that definitely spoke something" said the other.
"Hey, we already know the identity of the last boss. Do you think we need to deliver that information to the other players?" asked the third member.
"I don't think we need to. Because Naruto-sama will definitely not like that his identity will be exposed to the world as the last boss of New Aincrad. As for thanks for this incredible battle, we should remain his indentity in secret for now" said the other member.
The party all nodded their head then went to the other party and they all agreed to keep Naruto's indentity as the last boss a secret.
With Naruto.
Naruto saw that the torch has transform back into Kirito and smirked.
"That was an awesome battle Kirito. But guess the winner is me this time"
Kirito blinked and then rolled his eyes and said.
"Who the heck knows that you have such a trump card up your sleeves? You may win this time. But I won't let it go so easily I will train more and we will battle again. When that time come I won't lose like this time"
Naruto just smirked again and said.
"I will accept your challenge any time"
Then he turned to the direction of the girls and said.
"Guess we will return to the girls now ne? I heard you guys planning to celebrate the New Year together? Well then let's go. It's nearly the time already"
And with that Naruto run to the direction where the girls stood. Kirito just shook his head and then catch up with Naruto. After that they all logged out end prepared to celebrate the New Year.
