Well guys and gals here's that redo I said I was gonna do. So I changed a few things(Lie I changed a lot) I hope you like it I do so here we go
Disclaimer : I own nothing this is just for my entertainment
Names Jake. I'm a smart guy. I finished collage at 15 But don't think that I'm a skinny nerdy guy. In fact, I'm pretty good looking and I know all forms of combat ranging from hand to hand combat to kendo even to archery. Although I come from a horrible past though. My mom and dad died when I was little sister Sarah and big sister Ann and I were taken in by a man named Andrew. On my 16 birthday she was murdered. I wanted to find the man responsible for her death. I wanted revenge. I worked with the cops to look for the guy but never found him. Eventually they all gave up. In some way I did to but I still keep a close eye out for him. On my 17th birthday I was asked by Kayaba Akihiko to help him work on his project, the Nerve Gear. But for me to help I had to leave my sister behind. At first I declined but with a push from Sarah and Andrew promising to take care of her I left trying my best to keep in touch with them. So I've been working on this project and game of his. While I was there I did a bit of digging. I had a few mysteries I wanted to solve and this job was the best opportunity. I did find out about a few things but many were still a mystery and I ended up leaving with more questions than answers. Oh well right now I was heading back home to see Sarah and Andrew. I finished my work and Kayaba let me head back home. So I began the long drive back home. At least I had company. Oh I forgot to mention about Blake. Blake is my partner and ... well he's sort of in my head I guess. No I'm not crazy at least I think I'm not. Anyways Blake has been in my head since I was born. He was always there speaking to me giving me advice. It's weird to explain it without sounding crazy. Uh well anyways I wasn't bored my whole trip back home.
I hadn't called Sarah to tell her I was coming home early. I wanted to surprise her. I was going to show up at her school to pick her up.
I pull up to the school and checked my watch.
"Schools just finished she should be coming out now" I said to myself
I waited outside watching the kids pour out if the school keeping a close eye out for her. As kids left one by one I noticed that Sarah wasn't here.
"Ugh were could that kid be" I said to myself
"Didn't she tell you one time that she joined the schools kendo team. Maybe she's there." Blake said in my head.
"I guess I'll go check then" I said
I headed off to the dojo I remember training in when I went to school here. I see the small dojo ahead of me and slide the doors open. I was greeted with the scene of two people fighting, a boy and girl. I just stood there in the door way watching the fight play out. The boy was very skilled. I could see almost no flaws in his stance. He was quick and strong from the way I saw him fight. The girl was almost as equally as strong and fast as the boy. Though she looked like she was winning I could tell that the boy was playing with her and not giving it his all like the girl.
I saw the girl try and swing at the top of his protected head only to have the boy side step and swing at the girls head the shinai connecting to the head gear ending the match.
I could hear clapping coming from one side of the dojo as the two fighters took off their head gear. I look over to we're u heard the clapping come from and spotted Sarah and a few other girls around her as they walked over to the two fighters. They looked like they were discussing something and I thought this might be the best time to introduce myself.
I walk up to them clapping "That was an interesting duel I saw. Your forms looked almost flawless"
All their heads turned to look at me. I looked at Sarah and saw her smile as she ran up to me hugging me tightly.
"Brother I've missed you so much." She said
"Yea and I've missed you" I said hugging her back
We ended the hug and I looked at kids behind her.
"So I take it these are you friends" I said looking over them. I had counted a total of 7.
"Wow your more popular then I was in school" I said
"Yea well let me introduce you to them" she said. We walked over to her friends and started to introduce me to them.
"This is my big brother guys"
They all greeted me.
She started with the two people who were fighting.
"This is Kirigaya Kazuto and his younger sister Suguha"
Kazuto had black eyes and hair. His face though held some feminine features. Suguha has dark gray eyes and short black hair. Sarah then pointed to her other friends.
"That's Yuuki Asuna and Shinozaki Rika"
Asuna had long brownish chestnut hair and hazel eyes. Rika had short brown hair and dark pink eyes.
"This is Asada Shino and Konno Yuuki"
Shino had back short hair and black eyes. Yuuki had dark violet looking hair and ruby color looking eyes.
"And last but not least is Ayano Keiko and Argo."
Keiko had light brown hair that was tied into two ponytails by two red ribbons and light brown eyes. Argo had brown hair and eyes.
"Hello it's nice to meet you all" I said after she finished introductions.
"So big brother are you here to stay or did you just stop by" she asked looking at me
"I'm here to stay of course why wouldn't I. I finished the last bit of programming the system and Kayaba sent me home early." I said
"Wait Kayaba Ahikio. The guy who made Sword art online and the Nerve Gear" Kazuto said as I looked up to him.
"Yea I was hired by him to help work on it."
"Sarah you never said your brother helped design SAO" I heard Argo say
"You never asked" she said innocently
"Anyways do you have any plans for today" I asked
Sarah looked down and started playing with her feet
"Well I had a copy of the game you were working on and Kazuto, Argo, Shino, and Yuuki played the beta and we all got a copy. We were planning to play today since it is launch day" she said
I just patted her head "it's alright you don't have to change any plans I should have called ahead first anyways. Go ahead and play with your friends I still have some business to finish we can hang out later." I said
"Okay that sounds alright" she said
"We'll if you're going to make it then you guys should head home the game launches in 20 minutes. I can give you guys a ride if you want" I said
They all said no that they didn't mind walking home.
"Well are you ready Sarah I'll take you back to Andrews" I said
"Yea I'm ready. See you guys online" she said as she got her stuff and we walked out the door.
The ride back home was quiet. When we reached Andrews home/shop she spoke
"Did you tell Andrew" she said
"No u wanted to surprise you guys"
We walked into the shop and saw Andrew at the bar area cleaning a few cups.
"Andrew guess who came home today" Sarah said running up to him.
Andrew looks up and at first looks shocked then a smile appears on his face.
"Well, well, well. look who's back I haven't heard from you since that last call one month ago." He said
I scratched my head and said "well after that last call things got a little hectic over there"
"Yea like conspiracies and psychopathic group of people who want to kill us" Blake said in my head
"Well anyways how's the wife" I asked
"She fine thank you for asking she's out of town for the week. Anyways I was about to close the shop for the rest of the day cause I was going to play Sword art online but since your here mind taking care of the shop for the day like old times" he said
"You to wow I didn't know this game was that popular anyways I won't be able to help out in the shop today I have some business to finish first"
"That's okay anyways I better close up now. I'll see you in the game Sarah" he said as Sarah went up the stairs to get ready.
"Alright I'll see you after in a bit brother" she said as she continued to her room.
"Here I'll lock the shop up I gotta go anyways." I said
"Thanks Jake I'll see you in a bit" he said as he too went up the stairs.
I head to the door and walk to my car locking the door behind me. I pull up my cell phone call Kayaba. The phone rings a bit till I heard a smooth calm voice pick up and answer the phone
"Hello"
"Kayaba did you fix it"
"I take that as a no"
"Whoever hacked into the system had made sure that the changes they made were permanent." He replied
"So then you weren't able to find out who hacked it" I asked
"No. It's strange there's nobody who could hack my system and not leave a trace behind. It was almost like a ghost one minute we get the alarm the next it's off and were logged out of the system. And what's more strange is it was only for five seconds. Not even the best hacker in the world could hack my system in 5 seconds."
"Do you think it was them" I asked
"Possible I wouldn't put it against them. They've killed so many people to get the world seed I wouldn't see why they wouldn't murder children playing the game"
"So... what are we going to do about it"
"Well we can't do much. The best I could do is give the players a warning about the new rule but that could take some time since they seem to put up a security system so I wouldn't be able to speak with them. Since no one knows about them they'll probably think it was my doing."
"That's all you can do"
"Well I can still use my account I'll be entering the game after I make my speech then I'll try and turn off the transmitters on the Nerve Gear so that no one else can log on. Hopefully that would stop them from entering the game and killing people"
"I guess that will do"
"Jake these people are strong and dangerous. You should know you've faced off against them before. I have no doubt in my mind that they know all about you and your sister after that last confrontation we had with them."
"Yea I know I still have the scars from that fight"
"I have no doubt that they already have people logged in there to deal with your sister and other players."
"I know I'm going in, in a bit"
"Alright what about your team"
"I'll have them decide whether they want to log on or not." I said
"The more skilled people in there the better. You and your team have fought them before and won. I may have some skill but not much. Remember it's up to you to keep your sister safe. I'll see you in the game" he said as he hung up.
"So what now" Blake said
"We get the team together and enter this war"
"Are you sure your ready for it" he replied back
"This is what you trained me for isn't it. To protect my sister. To be her guardian."
"I did but war is something much more dangerous than just protecting your sister. I know I've been in this war longer then you have. These people will do anything to win"
"I know you told me your story before. I'm just glad you trusted me enough to tell me." I said
"Yes well if I hadn't told you then you and Sarah would have been in more danger and not prepared"
"Yea" I said as I got in the car and dialed another number.
"Yea it's me. Get the team together Kayaba couldn't stop it. We'll meet at the old abandon warehouse by the hospital. Good I'll see you in a bit" I said hanging up my phone
"All arrangements have been made. All that's left is to head over there and get ready" I said as I started to drive to the warehouse
"Yes anyways I should we should still be able to communicate when you enter the game and I might be able to manifest myself once we're in there. Hopefully you'll still be able to use my powers you'll need them if we have to face off against any of their powerful members."
"I hope so or I might not stand a chance against them. But then again we are all confined to the level. If they were level 20 and I 40 I would stand a chance" I said
"You would but that doesn't mean you will win. Remember they have more experience in fighting then you and could easily kill you if they wanted to"
"I know I'll be careful" I said ending our conversation as I saw the big 3 story warehouse. I pulled up to two huge doors. I wait there for awhile then they slide open. I drive in and park next to the other vehicles.
"Looks like there here already"
I step out of my car and head over to an out of order sign on it. I open it and turn to the panel and enter the 5 digit password. I fell the elevator move down.
"How many do you think will go into the game with you" Blake said
"Don't know depends"
"On what"
"On who showed up" I said as the elevator stops and the door slides open.
I step out and I see a big room. On the other side from the elevator is a giant screen surrounded by several small screens. On one side of the room is a small kitchen and table on the other are several couches. Various doors on the walls leading to different parts of the underground base.
I look around and spot a tall man. He had a brown buzz cut hair with a five o'clock shadow.
"Where is everyone" I asked
"In the briefing room waiting for you" he replied
"Well then let's not keep them waiting by the way it's good to see you again grim. Honestly I expected you to still be in America"
"Yea well I arrived yesterday" he said as we walked to the briefing room
The doors to the briefing room slid open reveling a giant oval table in the middle of the room. There was only three occupants in the room.
"So this is all that showed up" I asked
"You haven't heard have you" a girl wearing a green jacket and short blond hair said
"Our base was bombed yesterday last night we are the only three that made it out alive" this time a man in a white lab coat said.
"Did Roy make it" I asked trying to keep calm
"No, I'm sorry Jake" a women in a white lab coat said
Anger was all I felt now.
"Since you were second in command you're now our leader." The blond haired girl said.
"Alright" I said trying to compose myself
"We'll then Kyudo what were you able to save from the attack" I asked looking at the blond girl
"My own equipment and a few Grenades, a couple of rifles, two sniper rifles, two machine guns, one rocket launcher and two rockets, a few pistols and the can we used to escape" she said
"Well it's better than nothing. So I take it that they consider us a threat and that attack was them telling us were their enemy's now. It is clear to me now after what Kayaba told me that they are after the world seed." I said
I look over to the man in the lab coat "Kanji your wife, Chishiki, and yourself were researching on the origins of their group and the world seed. Correct."
"Yes"
"What did you two find out."
"We weren't able to discover much on their group put nor could we find much about the word seed. Only if used correctly the world seed could disrupt earths electromagnet field destroying our ozone layer." He said
"So that's one idea of what they might want it for" I said thinking
"Anyways for now two of you will come with me into SAO. Our job is to protect the players and help them clear the game. Kayaba will make a speech and warn the players. It's obvious who's going with me." I said looking at them all
"Grim and Kyudo will join me while you two stay here and monitor our body's. we'll be defenseless and it's up to you two to make sure we're safe. And while we're in there here's some schematics I have. See if you can figure out if it would work. If this war goes the way I think it will then we'll need it" I said handing it over to Kanji.
"Alright we enter the game in 15 minutes use them to prepare yourself. Call any love ones you have cause you won't see them for awhile" I said
"We will be entering the game with these names. Kyudo your name will be Scout. Grim yours will be Reaper. I will be Shadow and we are to address each other by these names when we enter understand " I said
They all nod
"Very well dismissed report to the infirmary in 15 minutes" I said exiting the room.
I head back to the main room and head over to the couch. I sit down and think of all the people we lost in that attack. All the progress, the people all gone.
"Relax Jake going into this game like that would make things worse. Use this anger to your advantage use it to protect your sister. Isn't that why you trained so hard isn't that why you joined this group."
"Your right I'll avenge them all. I'll protect my sister and kill every one of them when I get the chance." I said with confidence
"Good now tell me what are you"
"I am Jake. A guardian. A shadow. An Archangel I fight to protect those who can't protect themselves. I lend a hand to those who can. I am a shadow guardian leader of the Guardian angles. I make a promise now as a guardian to protect my sister at all cost and destroy the "order". Because guardian angels never break a promise" I said standing up
"Good maybe you are ready for this"
Well there you have it my redo. I wanted to add a lot more things in the original but it wouldnt have made much sense I hope I this one comes out okay
Anyways I would love it if you guys left a comment about it maybe a few hints here and there would help I would appriciate it
Love it hate it
Bye
