Chapter 5 Bounds and Truths
Hey Guys back with a new chapter and why that topic well as my story is mostly from Akumas 3 person point of view I will have to leave out most of episode 21 so yeah but on we go
After leaving the meeting place and flying for a good while they finally arrived at the city that had been build at the roots of the mighty tree , they were awstrucken at the sight of the tree from upclose and they were only broken out of it by the system announcment that was heard shortly after they had begun to look at the tree .
" Attention , Attention for the purpose of repairs the servers will be shutted down until 3 o`clock tomorow . " said the mechanical female voice .
" Well guys , I guess that´s it for today huh . " asked Akuma .
" Oh man I still wanted to speak with Yui . " whined Strea .
" Haha theoritical you are in the save medium of my NVG so I can probably loda you into a tablet and make so that you and Yui can speak with each other . " Akuma told the Navi Pixie .
" Really , Thank you . " said Strea and tackled Akuma into a bear hug but not before returning to her human size so that the hug would be succesfull .
" Hahaha no problem Strea , well Leafa we are going then . " Akuma told the blond haired sylph girl .
" Äh yeah see you soon . " Leafa said slightly sad which went unnoticed by everyone except Akuma who was looking right at her .
They then procedded to go to the next guest house before logging out.
Real World Akumas Room
" Strange it looked just like she was regretting that we already reached Yggdrasil City ." thought Akuma why pulling of his nerve gear and allowing his hair to fall back in place.
" Well lets see if we can´t find out Leafas real life adress and maybe then I will understand what is up to her . " Akuma said and switched on his PC and activated a little programm that he had developed during the timeframe of SAO it basically allows you to acces the data saved inside of your nervegear or ammusphere and to then edit it , it also allows you to see the gamenicks of players you meet and it also shows you the adress of the internet source that was used to log in .
" Hm that adress looks pretty familiar buty I just can´t put my hands on it were I know it from , well guess I will figure that out tomorow . " Akuma said before he was interupted by a knock of the door followed by a shout of Akuma from Yui .
" Right I said I would load up Strea into my tablet . " he thought before going on on connecting his NVG to his tablet and establishing a link between the two devices and not a minute later , Streas face appeared on the Screen of the tablet .
" You really did it . " cheered Strea from inside the device .
" Well I told you I would be able to but now we shouldn´t keep Yui waiting right . " he said and walked to the door which he then unlocked and handed the tablet to Yui who gave a quick thank you after which he then closed the door again and went back to his screen to write down the adress of Leafa . After he had finished that he switched his PC back of and went to sleep as it was already 2 in the morning .
The next day
After waking up at 7 o´clock his inner clock be dammed for always waking him up that early , Akuma then procedded to make breakfast for the two and place it on the counter with a small note that said Be back later , after that he left the house , went to his small garage and took place on the seat of his bike , with which he then drove of towards the city .
He drove for a good thirty minutes before he reached the city and another fifteen minutes before he arrived at the adress that he had noted on the small piece of paper that he was now holding between his right thumb and pointer finger .
" No wonder that it was so familiar , this is Kazutos place which means ... ", he broke of as he strolled towards the front door and saw a pretty worked up Suguha doin her kendo practice and so he called out to her .
" Hey Suguha . " he shouted with a wave of his hand .
Said girl looked up when her name was called and for a moment she thought she saw the Salamander guy that was in her group standin there at the edge of the garden before she recognized him and went over to her brothers friend to greet him .
" Hey Akuma why are you here big brother is not here or has been here for the last few days . " she asked him .
"Oh I know that already after all he is staying at my place for the time being , but that is not important for now , what i really want to know is why you didn´t tell us that it was you Leafa . " he said the last word a little bit different then the rest .
" How do you know my gamenick . " she asked a little bit shocked .
" I am the son of the CEO of a software company that is on par with RCT and I had a perfect score in the final exams of my technologie and software studies so finding out the adress of a mmorpg player isn´t that difficult for me . " he answered .
" Fine I will give that point to you but how about we head in first it is geting quite uncomfortable out her . " she said and motioned for Akuma to follow her .
After Suguha had changed into something more comfortable they then procedded to take a seat at the table and Akuma then begun to speak again .
" So why didn´t you say anything when I told you about Kirito I mean surely at that moment you knew who he was and who I was probably two . " he asked her .
" Well yes I did know who you were back then but I just couldn´t tell you back then . " she answered him .
" And why couldn´t you tell us . " he asked the dark blue haired girl .
" Well , you see I kind of fell in love with Kirito the Spriggan and then when you told me that he was my brother and that he had a girlfriend , heck he even has a daughter now , which you will have to explain to me later , I just kind of got confused and I just didn´t know what I should do so I kept quiet and acted like nothing happened . " she said and a small tear ran down her cheek .
" Well I can understand how you fell but still you will have to tell him eventually or get over it , but don´t continue acting like that it will only continue to hurt you more . " he adviced her .
" It is Asuna , right " she asked completely out of the blue .
" huh . " Akuma asked .
" The special someone he has to meet at the top of Yggdrasil is Asuna right . " she asked again this time completing the question .
" Yes , she is we don´t know why but she is up there . " he told her .
" Well I guess you are right there is no point in acting like a crybaby , if I could instead help my brother reaching his goal . " she said with renewed confidence while she whipped away the last remainers of her tears .
" Thats the Sugu I know well then I will see you later . " Akuma said before standing up and walking towards the door .
" Yeah , Until then . " she answered with a smile which earned her a thumbs up from the bulky boy before he left and drove back to his home .
Back at Akumas House
When Akuma got back Yui and Kazuto had already finished breakfast and Yui was in the middle of explaining why they were inside of ALO to Strea .
" Your back Akuma what were you doing . " asked Kazuto who was cleaning the dishes .
" Thats a secret . " he said .
" Fine have it your way . " Kazuto said before returning to what he was doing .
After he had finished cleaning they spent the remaning time until they were to meet up with Leafa again with asking Strea about things concerning Yggdrasil and the so called Grand Quest until it was finally time to dive into the digital world again.
Yggdrasil City
After they had logged in again and meet up with Leafa they then procedded to walk through the city , that was until Strea who was sitting on Akumas shoulder spoke up .
" There is a player without a race and restricted premissions above us . " she said and looke towards the crown of Yggdrasil .
" That is she . " shouted Kirito before he shot into the sky with Yui hot on his heels .
" Shit . " said Akuma before he and Leafa followed them .
When they had finally caught up to them Kirito and Yui were hammering against the invisible wall that was hindering the players from getting any higher and calling out for Asuna , that continued until a small grey card dropped down from above which got caught by Yui and after looking at it for a short time Kirito and Yui shot back down even faster then they shot up .
Akuma cursed again before he procedded to follow them again but this time he wasn´t able to catch up with them and so he only saw how the two disappeared behind the door which was the entrace to the Grand Quest in whichs front he landed .
Leafa joined him a minute later and so they begun to talk again .
" So when did Sakuya and Alicia plan to arrive here again . " he asked her .
" I think sometime this afternoon . " she answered .
" Those idiots why couldn´t they wait another hour or two , tsk . " snarled Akuma .
Right after he said those words a small shout that called Papa was heard which was followed by a cry of somebody that was just backstabbed , was heard which signalized that Yui and Kirito had been defeated .
" Come on let´s collect these two idiots . " said Akuma and unsheated his blade , before procedding to head towards the enormous gate .
" I wish to gain entrance . " he called out to the two massive stone statues .
" Leafa you collect the remain lights of the two and I will kill whatever will get in your way . " he said with a grim face , before procedding to enter with Leafa following close behind.
What greeted them was the sight of a black and a purple remain light who were surounded by over 4 dozens of guardians .
" Damm that is one hard situation to deal with , oh well I have dealt with harder things in SAO were the lose of all of your lifepoints means death and survived . " said Akuma and prepared to attack.
The guardians all stopped in midair and looked down at the two newcomers before they flew right towards them .
" Here they come Leafa , when I give you the order you dash right towards them and get them out of here got that . " he said and got the answer in form of a nod .
As soon as the Guardians where only fity meters away he gave the signal and the two dashed towards two different destinations , Leafa towards the two remain lights and Akuma towards the incoming foes.
It took Leafa 30 seconds to reach the purple and another 10 to reach the black remain light before she shoot back towards the gate, Akuma who noticed her retreating form slashed the Guardians that were around him in two before he shot towards the gate , too but one of the Guardians thought otherwise and so he threw his sword right towards Akuma and it reached its destination and embed itself right in his right shoulder which forced him to drop his sword but he got through the gate nonetheless .
Once outside Leafa placed the two Lights down and revived them with an Item and before long Kirito and Yui stood back infront of them , with Kirito wincing slightly and Yui looking shocked , which confused Leafa at first but when she looked around she saw the reason for their behaviour , it was Akuma who was slowly pulling the sword out of his shoulder .
" Are you ok , Akuma . " asked Leafa .
" Yeah , no problem , but I lost my sword back there ah well this will do for now . " he said and gave the Guardian sword a few test swings before opening his inventory and equipping it to which the sheath on his waist disappeared and a big black sheath appeared on his back .
"Well thats cleared , but we are not finished . " he said and looked at Kirito and Yui with anger .
" What the hell were you thinking I mean I can understand that you two want to be united with her as fast as possible but that was just suicidal what you two did there , did the fact that you won´t die in real life if you die in here make you become reckless , because if yes then i will personally kill the two of you if you trie something as stupid as that again , did i make myself clear . " he ordered and the two gave a quick nodded .
" Good then we have settled this to . " he said with a snort .
" Are we interupting something . " said a feminine voice and the group of four turned towards the owner of the voice .
The voice belonged to Sakuya the leader of the Sylphs and next to her stood Alicia the leader of the Cait Siths and behind them were about 40 players that looked ready for a s rank difficulty raid .
" No , I just finished . " he said .
" Great because we have got everything prepared and are ready to attack the Grand quest. " answered Alicia .
" Well it seems that the time has finally come , I hope you are prepared Yggdrasil because today you will be raided . " shouted Akuma at the giant tree with his new sword raised into the air and the players behind him erupted into cheers .
And another Chapter is done and i have to apologize right now already because it is highly possible that there will only be 1-3 chapters left until we go over into the GGO Arc or how i will call it Dance in the Bulletstorm , well yeah but that comes later for now I really have to say I just have to laugh right now whenever i get a hate guest review the one I recieved on the info sheet in my naruto fanfic was the best I quote " Fuck you , fuck this story do your goddam research . " I mean what Is going on I don´t get what he was pointing at with the research because every character with the surname Heremori is an OC of mine and the name Heremori is mine as well because I am the first to wear it , it was my invention after all so right now only me and my family wear that surname and yeah it´s a fanfiction so I can alter what I want in the story line as long as i just don´t go and flatly kill the main characters and yeah I am done for now maybe I will right another chapter later today but I won´t promise anything until next time
