Chapter 4 The Race Meeting

Hey Guys back with another chapter , also for those guys who don´t know who the new member of our group is I will explain it in the au at the end .

Lugru Corridor Exit

After they had left the tunnels of Lugru and had taken off into the skies of Alfheim again they were greeted by the massive and wonderful look of the world tree Yggdrasil , but even if the view was awstrucking they still had to stop the Salamanders from killing the leaders of the Sylphs and Cait Siths .

" So where is the meeting going to take place . " asked Kirito .

" It´s right behind those mountains . " said Leafa after she had checked her map .

" How much time do we have left until the meeting starts . " asked Akuma after he had thrown Yui from his back who was now flying beside him .

" About 20 minutes . " answered Leafa and the two males in the group sneered .

" Well then we better take this up a notch . " said Kirito and begun to fly faster with the rest following behind .

After they had flewn for about 15 minutes they were finally able to spot the meeting place but they were also able to spot the Salamander storm troop which must have consisted of at least 68 players .

" Shit we are not going to make it in time and even if we do we might only be able to bring the leaders to safety . " Leafa said with a scowl .

" Well I have an idea but you will have to trust me for this . " said Akuma and reached his hands out towards them .

At the meeting

The leaders of the Sylphs and Cait Siths as well as their guards were shocked that the Salamanders somehow knew about their meeting and it was clear that they weren´t there for a peacefull meeting when they raised their weapons and prepared to attack them .

But right in the moment when it looked like the Salamanders would attack them , a black , a green and a purple blur impacted in front of the Race leaders . When the dust had settled down, infront of them stood a spriggan , an imp girl and if Sakuya remembered right her name a sylph girl called leafa and they all seemed to quietly curse someone about throwing them without warning .

The suprises continued when a dark red blur passed through one of the five people groups of the Salamanders and they exploded into remaining lights , the red blur landed next to the three newcomers and revealed himself to be a strong looking Salamander who had a pretty huge red blade in his right hand .

The Spriggan of the group spoke up and ordered the Salamanders to lay down their weapons and Leafa went over to the two leaders to explain the situation to them , while the Spriggan said that he wants to speak the commander of them .

The commandant was a strong looking guy with scarlet hair and a golden hairpiece , whose name was Eugene .

" What is a Spriggan doing out here , he asked and after a short pause he continued , your dead through my hand is uninvanteable now but I will let you speak first . "

" My name is Kirito and I am the represantant of the Spriggan-Undine-Imp alliance and if you are going to continue this attack then I will take it that you want to provoke a war with the races that are currently here ? " asked Kirito .

" The Spriggans, the Undines and the Imps have formed an alliance and you are their ambassador and you want me to believe this . " Eugene asked with a smirk .

" Thats right I am only here to make a deal with the Sylphs and the Cait Siths and if you Salamanders are going to attack then you are goint to the regret it , because the all five races are going to unite and will attack you together . " said Kirito .

" You are coming before me and you are only equipped that sparely and then you want me to believe you , fine if you are able to keep up with me for 30 seconds then I will believe you . " said Eugene and pulled out his weapon .

" Fine by me " . said Kirito .

Akuma 3PPOV

When Sakuya the leader of the Sylphs begun to explain that this isn´t good because the only one to have that weapon is the Salamander General Eugene who was said to be the strongest player in the whole game , but Akuma wasn´t worried he knew how strong Kirito was and so he watched as the two begun to figtht and he was also able to watch the special ability of Gram to be able to go through a sword or shield that was used to block a strike of said weapon .

It was about a minute or so into the fight when Akuma heard a voice begging for someone to help it and so he looked around until found the direction it was coming from .

" Where are you going Akuma . " asked Leafa .

" Just checking something out but I will be back shortly . " he said and jumped down from the platform and ran towards the waterfall that was close by .

When he got closer the voice became louder and he noticed that there was the entrance to a cave right behind the waterfall and so he jumped through it and entered the cave , it was not even 50 m later when he spotted a girl with light blond-brown hair that reached down to her shoulders , brown eyes and light tan skin who was chained to a wall and was in the process of getting raped by some kind of strange man-pig creature with pink skin , Akuma sliced through the mob with ease and then made his way to unchain the girl , after he had removed the last chain the girl erupted into a bright light and Akuma had to close his eyes to not go blind , when he opened them again the girl was gone , well that was what he thought until somebody poked him in the cheek and he looked to his right and right there on his shoulder sat the girl he had seen before , only that she was now as big as his head and that she was wearing a light purple dress, white wings on her back and that she had a small red flower in her hair .

" Hello my name is Strea , thank you for saving me mister . " said Strea .

" Yeah , no problem but ehm why are you so small . " he asked her .

" I am a so called private Pixie and I am here to help players . " she answered .

" Ah now I understand . " well I have to go back to my friends now . " Akuma said and made his way back to the entrace of the cave and Strea made herself comfortable in the Collar of Akumas Haori vest .

When Akuma had exited the cave he saw a huge smokescreen in the sky and he was pretty sure that that was Kiritos doing and his expectations were proven right when the smokescreen was blown away by a pissed looking Eugene and Kirito shortly after came down from over the clouds with Leafas Sword in his other hand which he used to block Eugenes strike and knocked him back , after which he then begun to unleash a furious Swordcombo on the General which he ended by cutting him in two , to which he exploded and descended to the ground in a fireball , during this whole process Akuma got back to the others and after a moment of silence the Sylphs and Cait Sith erupted into cheers while the Salamanders where shocked that their leader was defeated that easily .

After everyone had calmed down Sakuya then procedded to revive Eugene who then adressed Kirito and told him that he would have never suspected that someone like him was with the Spriggans and that the world was bigger then he thought . Kirito asked him if he believed him now and after a short thinking pause he grunted a small fine and told his trops to retreat but not before telling Kirito that they would have a rematch which Kirito gladly acknowledged .

After the Salamander had left Kirito was swarmed by the two race leaders who where beginning to offer him different things and after a while Leafa got feed up and begun to walk towards them , Akuma and Yui who didn´t care for now or would just hold the scolding back for later stayed where they were and begun to talk .

" So Akuma where did you go earlier , I noticed that you said something to Leafa but nothing else . " Yui asked .

" Well Yui it was like this , I heard a voice and so I followed it to the entrance of a cave and what I found inside was ... , " he got cut of when Strea poked out her head from Akumas collar and begun to talk as well .

" Yui is that you . " she asked and looked at the Imp girl infront of Akuma .

" Strea , what are you doing here . " Yui asked with a smile .

" Could you two please tell me what is going on here . " Akuma asked still confused by the situation .

" Oh sorry , hahaha well you see Strea was a programm in SAO like me her name was HCP0002 Strea , she is something like my little sister . " Yui explained .

" Well it kind of makes sense after all ALO is running on the server data of SAO but from the look of your Avatar you wouldn´t really notice that she is your little sister it would look more like the other way , I mean you are 10 and she looks like she is 16 bordering 17 . " Akuma said .

" Well that is something we can´t explain as well . " the two girls said and begun to giggle .

" Well I think I better safe your father before something worse happens . " said Akuma and went over to where Kirito was currently caught up by the two Race leaders .

" I am sorry ladies but this guy is already taken . " said Akuma and pulled Kirito out of the two womens grip who just mumbled a small spoilsport , but they then asked Leafa how they even knew about the attack and so Leafa explained it to them and so after a quick call to Sigurd , Sakuya exiled him from the Sylph territory .

" Well guys we have to go now we still have to go somewhere . " Akuma said and Kirito and Yui nodded in aggrement .

" You too Leafa, a little sightseing . " asked Sakuya and looked at said person

" Well I was actually planning to leave the Sylph territory , but now i will go back to Sylvain even if I am not sure when that is going to be . " she answered .

" That is good to hear and please if you come back bring him with you ok . " she said and Alicia added that they should stop by and that they would throw a party for them .

They then procedded to thank them for their help because if they would have fallen today they would never be able to be as far as the Salamanders and they then asked if there was a way for them to show their gratitude but Kirito declined , it was then that Leafa remebered and asked if the goal of the alliance wasn´t the conquering of the worldtree .

Sakuya told them that that was right and Leafa then asked them to take them with them and that it would be good if they could do it as fast as possible . Sakuya and Alicia shared a look and then accepted they then procedded to ask why it should be as fast as possible and Kirito then told them somebody very important to him was maybe at the top of the tree.

Sakuya asked him if it was the Elfking Oberon but Kirito shook his head and tols them that it was somebody else and that he had to meet that somebody again no matter what .

Alicia then told them that it would take a while to get the mney for all the legendary equipment to which Kirito, Akuma and Yui then procedded to convert 3/4 of their money into touchable objects and placed them before them and the two Leaders were shocked about the amount of money that was given to them , but they were quickly back to normal and told them that this would be enought to organize two complete legendary raid parties and told them that they would be able to do the raid in at least two days they had to buy the equipment and call all of their troops together after all and after the group then told them that they still had more then enough money left the two race leaders and their guards the wished them good bye and told them that they would meet in two days to start the raid after that they took of towards the setting sun .

Kirito , Akuma, Leafa , Yui and Strea who had gone back into Akumas collar still stood their for a while in silence when Yui spoke up and begun to scold her Papa for trying to cheat on Mama with the two race leaders and after Leafa noticed that Yui hadn´t said something about her she then asked her if she was ok and Yui answered that she was ok after which she then asked why it was like that and Kirito answered her that it was probably because she didn´t act like a girl for which Leafa tried to attack Kirito but he just jumped into the air and begun to resume their flight towards the worldtree and with a quick shout of wait from Leafa and a chuckle from Akuma they then flew towards the Worldtree with the sun setting behind it and illuminating it in a beautifull colour spectrum .

And done , goddamit this chapter was a pain in the ass to write thanks to my goddam writers block but atleast it is finished know after I had begun it saturday the week before last week and I finally was able to finish it today well yeah , as for who Strea is she is a character from the Sword art Online Game series who actually is a health care programm like Yui was and I am pretty sure that the programms would know each other and their avatars so surely Yui would notice one of her old comrades and for the little sister part Strea actually said that once in Lost Songs I think it was well and if you want to have a picture of her look up Strea Private Pixie Form it should pop up there somewhere and well the whole Kagemune adressing Eugene part was left out by purpose because Yui killed him in the first chapter and I think it is enough prove for and Spriggan-Undine-Imp alliance if two of the three races are in that location and in case you forgot here are the names with their races and Weapon of choice

Kirito-Spriggan-one handed blade (Dual Wield)
