Chapter 2: Boss fight and new friends.
Hey everyone I'm back with the next chapter, and here is where the real stuff will begin because you know the boss fight the beaters and all, anyway let's start this show, I do not own Sword Art Online in the manga, the anime, and the video game, but I do own the story and my Oc', other than this enjoy!
It has been a month since the game has started, and a lot of people died Kirito was leaning on a wall taking in everything what has happened, while Nightmare was just staring at the sky sitting leaning on a wall putting one arm on his left knee, both have been destroying mobs like no tomorrow, both got new swords from a quest that was different giving not only a Annael blade but also a Dark blade (Same sword as Kirito's but the blade was black.), they both heard of a boss raid about some people finding the first boss, they were on their was there right now as they got up and ate a bit of bread.
"Huff, this game has really gone to hell." Nightmare commented, as Kirito nodded in agreement.
"No kidding, with a game like this becoming a game to survive or die I wouldn't be surprised as hell that not a lot of people will be at this meeting." Kirito replied, as Nightmare could do nothing but agree.
"Yea, they are scared that they will die, but we have to get back home, even if we have to go through hell or some other shit we have to get back home." Nightmare agreed, as they both finished their meal, and saw the meeting it was not that big but definitely not small, with this they took a seat in the back, as everyone stopped talking.
"Ok everyone lets get started, my name is Diabel and my job is a knight." A guy named Diabel spoke on a stage.
'Is he fucking serious? They're is no job system like that!' Nightmare thought.
"But they're is no job system like that." A random person called.
'The Hell?! That was Werid as shit.' Nightmare thought as he was shocked and looked away, but had gotten some attention on a player with silver hair and honey gold eyes, and thought again. 'Wow, she is interesting, not to mention she seems kinda down." Nightmare added in his thoughts.
"True, but as of now a group of players have found the first boss, and once we do all the people left in the town of beginnings will see and have a new found hope to complete the game, so we have to do this." Diabel told everyone, as they look with glee, and inspired, and started cheering, as Diabel continued. "Ok everyone now for the plan, we will go in party's of 6." Diabel declaried, with that everyone started to party up, as Kirito and Nightmare paled but remembered they could form a party.
"Ok we are in luck-" Nightmare started but got interrupted.
"Ow and you must have at least 3 or more people, otherwise you can't join this raid." Diabel said.
"Fuck!" The two brother-ish called.
"Great, what do we do now?" Kirito asked a bit annoyed, as Nightmare thought.
"Ok I find someone and you find someone." Nightmare declared as he left, and Kirito looked around and saw a girl wearing a pancho, and he scooted over really fast like in the Anime.
"Hey are you being left out?" Kirito asked, as the girl looked at him, he could not see her eyes though.
"No it just I don't want to be the cause of anyone's death, and I died no one would care." The girl answered, as Kirito was shocked.
"Um, hey don't need to go dark, but hey they won't let anyone go if you don't have a party of 3 or more." Kirito replied
"But then it will be two." The girl counter, as Kirito shook his head.
"Don't worry, so are you in or not?" Kirito questioned, as the girl agreed, with Nightmare watching he went to a girl with silver hair, and honey gold eyes.
"Um...hi what are you doing by yourself? Should you be in a part with someone?" Nightmare asked, as the girl move away a bit.
"No, I just don't want to cause anyone's death, and I do not want anyone worrying about me." The girl answered, as Nightmare just stared.
"Hey, I won't die that easily ok? Plus you can't go alone, so wat do you say." Nightmare question giving a small smile, as the girl agreed and then they walk to Kirito and the Mysteryest girl.
"So the 4 of use are a party? Alright." Kirito stated, as the girls were confused on how to two know each other.
"Alright now it's time for the-" Diabel started, getting everyone's attention.
"Hold It!" Someone shouted, as everyone look to see a guy with red spike hair jumping down towards the stage, then spoke. "I am Kibou and I have something to say, and that is many of you should be apologizing." Kibou stated.
"Your talking about the beta testers right?" Diabel questioned sounding a bit nervous, which Nightmare and Kirito noticed.
"Yeah, and they should start by giving us all their teams they got, the reason to this because they fucking left us to die, they took all the best quest, and they did not give time to help us." Kibou shouted, as people started agreeing and Diabel looks frighten, while Kirito and Nightmare were fighting the urge to kill Kibou.
"Hold it, are you saying that the beta testers left us to die?" A voice question.
"Yea, and who are you!" Kibou shouted, as a man came to the stage.
"My name is Agil, and did you receive this book from the town of beginnings?" Agil asked getting a brown book out.
"Yea I did, so what?" Kibou asked in irritation.
"Well the reason is that this book has all the things we need to know, and it was made by the beta testers, and it has the location of multiple quest, everyone who had this and read it died." Agil stated, as everyone awed about what they just heard, and both Kibou and Agil sit down, as Kirito and Nightmare calmed down.
"Ok thank you Agil, now anyway we will all meet at the bosses dungeon, it's named lllfang the goat demon with 4 gadges, and uses a twilar once he is in the red zone, that is it and I'll see you all tomorrow." Diabel told everyone as he left, and as everyone left Nightmare and Kirito noticed that the girls left.
*Later that night*
"Man this shit is stupid." Nightmare called, frustrated about what Kibou told the crowd.
"True, even with all the help we beta testers left many people still died..." Kirito replied in a sad voice.
"Yea, but we can help the people here and now to advance." Nightmare stated, as Kirito nodded.
"your right, but I have to say we have to do our plan we used for the beta." Kirito told him, as Nightmare started at him.
"I don't know if it's a good idea, but if your sure fine." Nightmare answered, as they both noticed one of the girls that was at the meeting with them, as Kirito went to her, as Nightmare just left.
"Hey, um can I sit here?" Kirito asked, as she didn't spoke and he sit down, then she moved a bit away, till he spoke again. "Hey you can use this for your bread." Kirito told her as he put a cream on his bread.
"Cream...?" The girl questioned, as Kirito just nodded, then put the cream on her bread, then she took a tiny bit then quickly finished it.
"Hey, I've been thinking about what you said so I got to say that I don't want you to die, if you are close to death then get out no matter what." Kirito stated, as the girl looked surprised.
"Please, I don't want to be the cause of anyone's death." The Girl replied.
"Huh...well how about a deal, I won't die if you won't die." Kirito stated, as the girl agreed.
*With Nightmare*
"Hmm...those two will make a good couple, I have a feeling, what ow hey what are you doing here by yourself?" Nightmare asked the girl with silver hair from before, as she shook a bit.
"Um...I'm just going to eat." The girl whisper, as Nightmare just took a seat next to her, and brought out some cream.
"Cream?" She questioned.
"Yea got it from a quest, want some?" Nightmare asked as he put some cream on his bread and left some for the girl.
"Are you sure?" The girl questioned, as Nightmare just nodded, then she took the rest of the cream and put it on her bread as the jar disapears.
"So, how do you feel about fighting this floor one boss?" Nightmare asked, as the girl was looking down.
"I...Don't know." The girl confessed, looking more down.
"Hey let's make a promise!" Nightmare declared, as she looked at him as he continued. "I promise that I won't die if you won't either, sound like a good deal huh?" Nightmare asked, as the girl looks shocked, but then she smiles as they both continued their meal.
*The Next Day*
As the whole group of people from the meeting were heading to the dungeon, with everyone working together, especially Kibou, with this all Nightmare and Kirito,as well as the two girls stated back a bit.
"So for this boss to be defeated and his troops, we will have to do a switch." Kirito stated, as Nightmare just nodded, but the girls were confused.
"I guess you don't get it, it is a strategy for players to use on bosses, it is used by players who are fighting a boss, and if they call switch then they switch positions in how they were fighting the boss." Nightmare explained, as the girls nodded in understanding on what switch means, as they all continued walking to the boss room.
"Ok, now here is the boss room, now we will be in sections, one section will take the bosses, will one the other takes on the troops, both groups will split in multiple tiny groups to take care of multiple spots, and for the boss many sections of the bosses areas will be left open, till we are close to defeating the boss for the last strike to win." Diabel told everyone, as Nightmare looked suspicious about what Diabel said, with that they entered the boss room the troops appeared as well as the boss, then Diabel spoke. "Alright everyone charge!" Diabel shouted, as everyone went to their positions, and attacked which went on for about a few minutes, till lllfang was in the last bit of his health in the red zone.
"Alright, everyone back away, I'll finish this now!" Diabel called with a smirk, as everyone cheered, but Kirito and Nightmare noticed something about the wepon lllfang is using a talwar instead of a Nōdachi.
'Shit...' Both Nightmare and Kirito thought.
"Hey stop that's not the weapon in the book-" Kirito yelled, but got interrupted when Diabel got slashed and got throw to another part of the room, then Kirito ran to him, as Nightmare was covering both of them.
"Here take this." Kirito told Diabel trying to giving him a healing potion, as Diabel just pushed it away.
"No, you two knew what that weapon was when it was pulled out did you, lead them give them the hope to complete this game." Diabel stated as he broke into polygons, with Nightmare and Kirito just staring at the spot.
"Kirito...let's beat this boss." Nightmare stated, as Kirito nodded.
"Yea lets do it!" Kirito shouted, as they charged.
"Asuna! Rain! Come on let's take this boss out!" The brothers shouted, as the girls were shocked, but they nodded and agreed.
"Me and Nightmare will block you guys as you two attack." Kirito told them, as everyone nodded, then Kirito strike lllfang's weapon as Asuna strikes lllfang doing a tiny bit of damage, Kirito then kneel down as Nightmare jump on his back to then strike lllfang's blade then managing to do some damage, then Rain slashed lllfang's back, they then continued doing this but Nightmare and Kirito switched spots, until they were almost done defeating lllfang but his health was at 15%, it was slash-slash until lllfang wack all four of them back tearing Asuna's hoodie as they all landed by a pillar, and saw lllfang coming.
'Is this the end?' Asuna, Rain, and Kirito thought, as Nightmare got up and his eyes glowed red for a bit.
'If I'm going down I'm taking this guy with me!' Nightmare thought, as lllfang was getting ready to strike Nighmare got a sword skill ready, then they both charged, as they did a axe strikes lllfang and Nightmare slashed him as well.
"Are you guys going to lay there or get up and help?" Nightmare called, as Kirito got out of his shock and went to help, the girls took a bit longer but they got up, then the 4 all charged at lllfang, the guys strikes the blade while the girls hit lllfang, until the boys jump in the air push each other with their feet to spin in the as they did a horizontal strike on each side as they cut through lllfang as a 'X' was made then lllfang exploded, with this they both breathed hard as they sheth their swords and the strangest thing happened they both got the last hit bonus.
'Coat of Midnight, and a new sword?' Kirito and Nightmare questioned, as everyone came around.
"Man you both have some moves." Agil compliment.
"Why?!" A voice yelled, as everyone saw Kibou pissed yet also sad, as he continued. "You both let Diabel died! You both are beta testers right?! Are there more of you people here?!" Kibou yelled, and everyone agreed, but they stopped and look at Kirito who was laughing like a maniac.
"Ow please don't you dare compare me and my brother to those armature beta testers, in fact you are all better than they were, me and my brother are the only ones who made it far in the beta." Kirito replied, and the players were getting mad.
"You both are cheaters, no wait beaters!" A player yelled.
"Beaters? Hmm I like it, what about you Nightmare?" Kirito questioned.
"Hmm, it is ok but it sounds cliche." Nightmare admitted, as they went to the gate to the next floor.
"Wait!" Asuna and Rain called, then the brothers turn to see them.
"Hmm what is it?" Kirito asked.
"How did you know both of our names?" Asuna questioned.
"If you look in your vision on the top left hand corner you can see your health as well as the people you are in a party with." Nightmare answered, and the girls look.
"Kirito..." Asuna said in curiosity.
"Nightmare..." Rain added, then both girls laughed, and the brothers smiled.
"Hehe, here is a little advice." Kirito told the two, and the girls pay attention.
"If a strong guild comes and ask for you to join, then join." Nightmare stated, as the girls nodded they left.
*on the 2nd floor*
"So same plan as the beta." Nightmare asked, as Kirito nodded.
"Yea, I'll see you later." Kirito stated.
"Alright, but if you need any help or if your introble then I'll be around and just call." Nightmare countered.
"I will." Kirito replied, as they fist bump and went their separate ways.
To Be Continued...
Now that the first floor is complete what will happen now? When will Kirito and Nightmare meet again? Will Asuna and Rain party with them again? What will both the adopted brothers do? Find out next time.
