Chapter 9
Hey everyone I'm back here again for another chapter for you all, and like always I do not own Sword Art Online's Manga, Anime, or Video Game, but it would be cool if I did, but I do own the story idea, and my Oc's, but besides the same old thing I say lets get this story started everyone! Enjoy!
*At the Knight of the Blood oath base*
"Hmm? Aw so you are Kirito, and you must be his brother Nightmare?" A man with silver like hair asked with a smile, which creeped Nightmare out.
"Yea that is us...why did you want to see us Heatclift?" Kirito asked rasing a eyebrow, which Heatclift and a man next to him with a darker silver hair that was in very small hair style laughed.
"Well you see, we hear that you want to take away both our second commands away...and we can not allow that what so ever." The man next to Heatclift stated with a amused look, causing Asuna and Rain to shift a bit, but Nightmare glared.
"That is true, but is it supposed to be their choice? Not yours? In matter of fact why should they stay, since the actions of Kuradeel and Suradeel I'm not convinced this is the best guild anymore Chills." Nightmare countered, making Heatclift and Chills sigh in agreement by the fact.
"That is true, but still in the situation now it is impossible...but if you are willing to bet we might have a way." Heatclift told everyone, which made the adopted brothers looked sceptical, while Asuna and Rain were confused, but Chills just smiled.
"And what would that be?" Kirito asked, which Heatclift let out a sinister smile.
"We have a duel...two one on one battles your unique skills vs ours...if I win our duel Kirito you join the Knights of the blood oath, but if you win Asuna gets to go and be free from the guild." Heatclift answered, causing everyone except Chills to be wide eyed.
"Wait ho-" Asuna started but gotten interrupted.
"And we will duel Nightmare...if you win Rain is free from the guild, but if I win you have to join the knight of the blood oath." Chills added from Heatclift's agreement, causing the girls to gasp.
"Ok pl-" Rain tried to interject, but the adopted brothers nodded in agreement.
"We agree with those terms!" The two duel wielding brothers exclaimed with seriousness making the leaders of the blood oath grin.
"Then we will see you at the arena." The leaders of the blood oath replied.
*A few minutes before Kirito's battle with Heatclift*
"You two are idiots!" Asuna exclaimed in rage. "Me and Rain can't live with ourselves if you two lose!" Asuna added in a sad voice, making Kirito look depressed.
"We know, I guess we were weak and feel into the bait." Kirito claimed with a depressed voice that sounded like failure.
"But you know about their skills right?! You two were amazing fighting of Glem eyes and Ruby eyes, but this is different, the commanders will destroy you two!" Rain scream in sadness.
"We know! But now all we can do is focus on the matter at hand then worry about it during a different time, but now you better get ready Kirito." Nightmare told Kirito with a concern look.
"Yea...and don't worry I won't lose." Kirito claimed with a smile walking of.
'I hope so...' Asuna thought.
*On the battle feild*
"Well I didn't think this much of a crowd would show." Heatclift stated, which Kirito shrugged off.
"Alright, but I want some of the pay." Kirito claimed, making Heatclift laugh.
"Nah...I think we will put the money into yours and Nightmare 's first mission." Heatclift replied sending the battle request, making Kirito eyes narrow and accepted the request, as the timer started counting down.
"Fucking cocky baster..." Nightmare muttered with a pout in the stands, making Asuna and Rain hold back a laugh.
"We will see..." Kirito conplied getting his two swords ready for battle, while Heatclift got his sword and shield ready for battle, and as the timer hit zero Kirito charged at Heatclift with amazing speed and was ready to attack but as he did Heatclift blocked with his shied then striked at Kirito with his sword, which caused Kirito to move back, then charge at Heatclift with some high speed to attack, but Heatclift used his sheild and hit Kirito, shocking everyone at the development. 'He used his sheild?!' Nightmare and Kirito though in shock, which caused Kirito to chuckle. 'Hehe this fight just became interesting.' Kirito thought as he activated a sword skill th his {Elucinator} and charged at Heatclift and striked his sheild to only slide past him, but Heatclift just looked amused.
"You have splendid reaction time." Heatclift complimented.
"Yes but you also have a amazing defense." Kirito replied with a smile, while Nightmare looked a bit nervous.
'Can I beat Chills?' Nightmare thought, till he saw Kirito and Heatclift charge at each other at amazing speed that people can barely keep watch of, but Kirito was just attacking Heatclift's sheild while blocking his sword, but Heatclift wasn't giving a inch of having trouble.
'Not yet I can still go faster...' Kirito thought with his speed increasing which made him get a scratch on the face by Heatclift's sword but gave back the same punishment, which enraged Heatclift that he gave a dark starre.
"Kirito..." Asuna muttered, with Kirito still doing what he was doing, till he activated Star Burst Stream to attack furiously at Heatclift's sheild till it gotten flung back.
'I can strike!' Kirito thought getting his sword ready to finish of Heatclift, till everything slowed down and Heatclift's sheild started to move in front of Kirito's sword. 'What...?' Kirito thought again, which his sword hit the sheild and left him wide open for Kirito to get hit in the arm by Heatclift's sword, making Kirito's health to be in the yellow, which caused everyone to be in silent to then the crowds to cheer like no tomorrow, and Heatclift walked away before giving a glare at Kirito who was on the ground stun.
'C-can I beat Chills...? But that speed...could it be...maybe...I'll look into it...' Nightmare thought.
*A few minutes later*
"So are you ready to join your brother Nightmare?" Chills asked in his bulky Knight of the blood oath armor which was similars to Heatclift giving a smile, making Nightmare scowl, as the timer was already half way done with the count down.
"We will see who will lose." Nightmare declared getting his swords ready as his eyes turn from black to red for a few seconds, making Chills surprised but shook it of and got his own weapons ready when the timer went to zero, as Nightmare charged with amazing speed and attacked but for it to be blocked, which made Chills use his sword to strike but Nightmare used both his swords to block it, which allowed Chills to use his sheild to attack, but unknowingly to him Nightmare was smirking and once the sheild was close Nightmare jumped and rolled on it to be behind him, causing everyone in the crowds to be gasping in surprise, which Nightmare took the chance and attack Chills in the back, but the damage was small thanks to the armor giving Chills a great defense but Nightmare did manage to deal some good damage.
"W-what...h-how is that possible." The girls and Heatclift muttered in surprise, as Kirito smiled.
"Looks like you will leave your guild Rain." Kirito claimed surprising the three, which they then watch the battle again to see Chills shoving both sheild and sword at Nightmare only for Nightmare to slide and spin to side slashing at Chills legs then to get up and slash him in the back, which irritated Chills making him spin around with amazing speed and strike Nightmare in the chest finally doing some damage, but even if he did he was already close to the yellow. "Hahaha...man who would thought that his teachers were right?" Kirito called, making the girls confused.
"What do you mean Kirito?" Asuna asked questionably, with Rain listening but watched the battle.
"Well in the real world R-Nightmare's teachers always told my 'parents' that he could learn in a different way, they saw he can learn by watching and viewing actions that happened, it helps in his math, science, and history classes." Kirito answered with a smirk, causing Asuna and Rain to be surprise.
"So you mean that by just letting Nightmare watching your duel with Heatclift, he was able to predict how Chills can fight?" Rain asked surprise, as Kirito nodded still with a smirk on his face making the girls to be at awed, then to look at Nightmare who was so close to making Chills make it to the yellow while his own health was still in mid green by using his tricky flips and spins to get out of Chills attacks, while Chills was panting really fast, which allowed Nightmare to charge with Chaos Burst Stike activated slashing at Chills sheild with great speed and force which caused Chills sheild to move to his back which Nightmare was about to strike till Chills smirke moving his sheild as fast as Heatclift, causing Rain, Asuna, and Kirito to gasp, but Nightmare moved his attack down before the sheild can block it which allowed Nightmare to spin till he was upside down and striked at Chills hand making said man to let go of his sheild leaving him only with his sword, which Nightmare slashed at Chills chest making him go in the yellow, which caused everyone to be quite to then cheer in Nightmare's victory against Chills, but Nightmare frowned when he saw Chills hands move fast as lightning on his menu.
"That...was a interesting fight..." Chills stated walking off mumbling under his breath, as Nightmare left by using one of the exits.
'So my theory was right...they are game masters, and I know who, but I have to confront them first.' Nightmare thought till he left so no one can see him.
"I...get to...leave the guild...?" Rain muttered then smile in realization.
"Lucky..." Asuna muttered, with Kirito nodding in agreement.
*With Nightmare*
'So if I'm right we can all leave this game if we beat them...but it would mean we would lose a lot of players.' Nightmare thought gritting his teeth, till he heard something, as he looked to see Kuradeel and Suradeel talking to each other.
"So you got some of Laughing Coffen to help us?" Kuradeel asked with a creepy smile, making Nightmare's eyes widen, and he shook with anger.
"Yes we got around 18 of them, but we will only manage to kill that annoying brat Kirito, we will kill his brother later." Suradeel answered with a equal smile, making the two laugh evilly, while Nightmare walked away.
'Looks like I'm going to need a plan, but for this plan to succeed...but if that is the case I might die before then, no matter I'm ready if that is the case.' Nightmare thought with a dark look.
*At Agil's shop*
"I thought I asked for a look that was less flashy." Kirito told Asuna as he wore a white coat of the KBO, who shrugged.
"It is, it's the less flashy outfit we have." Asuna complied.
"I guess, but he looks better in black, or blue." Nightmare stated, as Asuna looked at him weridly.
"He wears blue?" Asuna asked in surprise, as Nightmare nodded, while they heard steps coming in and it was Rain in her outfit she wore in Sword Art Online Lost Song with her smiling.
"I find that interesting." Rain stated, as Kirito sighed.
"Well enjoy that information...but man I'm in a guild..." Kirito mumbled in stress, which caused Asuna to feel bad.
"I guess this is my fault isn't it?" Asuna asked still depressed, which made Kirito shook his head.
"Don't worry about it I was going to reach the max level of a solo player anyway." Kirito injected, which Asuna nodded.
"Umm...don't mind me asking, but Kirito why do you stay away from guilds or even people." Asuna asked, but what no one noticed was that all their friends were listening to their conversation, but Kirito just gave a blank stare.
"Well not Nightmare it is because he is stubborn, but the reason was a year ago I was in a guild, we were called the Moonlight black cats, including myself there was 6 of us we were not like other guilds back then, they had a homely atmosphere, which was why I joined I lied about my because I thought that they would not accept me if I had a higher level then normal people, but one day we were out to get a house...and a member from the guild said they found a secret dungeon and they wanted to surprise our guild leader...once we got to the dungeon we went into the room and it activated a trap, we could not use teleport crystals or we could not use the exit till we went through the mobs that appeared, but before it could open the people from my guild died...once I got out I went to tell our leader about what happened...but he-he committed suicide..." Kirito answered about to cry, till Asuna holded his cheeks and hugged him, which the door to the room open reveling their friends.
"Kirito don't you ever worry...we will live to see the end of this game!" Klien yelled, making Kirito flinch.
"He is right we will always be here for you." Silica added with a kind smile, with Phantom putting a hand on Silica shoulder.
"Me and everyone will be here as well for you Kirito." Phantom stated, with everyone nodding, causing Kirito to let out a tiny bit of tears of joy.
"Alright thank you everyone..." Kirito replied about to hug Asuna back but went against it.
*At the Knight of the blood oath's base*
"What! Training! But Kirito-kun is 10x stronger than you Godfree!" Asuna claimed, while Kirito blush a bit.
"That could be true, but it is how things work here." Godfree replied in a cheery voice.
"Don't worry Asuna it's alright." Kirito stated getting up walking with Godfree but gave Asuna a wink, causing her to blush.
*A few minutes later*
"Hey!" Godfree called pulling out two people Kuradeel and Suradeel who were frowning, which caused Kirito face to fall.
'Great this will suck like no tomorrow.' Kirito thought bitterly. "What are they doing here?" Kirito asked Godfree, who just smiled.
"I thought that what is Better than patching old wounds than working together!" Godfree answered hitting Kuradeel and Suradeel in the shoulder.
"We are sorry that we assaulted you and your brother." The twins told Kirito.
"Uhh...it's fine." Kirito replied awkwardly.
"Alright I need you three to give me your crystals." Godfree requested, which the twins did respectively, while Kirito was unsure.
"All my crystals? Even my teleport crystal?" Kirito asked unsure, but Godfree nodded and gave a wink, making Kirito sigh giving away his crystals.
"Alright! Now let's go clear a dungeon!" Godfree called in excitement, making Kirito, Kuradeel, and Suradeel to give out a low face.
"Yay..." The three muttered heading off.
'I hope what you said was true Nightmare, cause I hid this crystal away the best I can.' Kirito thought bitterly holding a crystal that he could not identify.
*Before Kirito and Asuna went to the Knight of the blood oath base*
"Are you serious?!" Kirito whisper in rage, which Nightmare looked like he was in court.
"Yes...those guys are planning to kill you, use this crystal it is rare I only got a few but I have a plan." Nightmare replied holding out a rainbow color crystal, as they saw Asuna and Rain talking.
"Alright...what is the plan." Kirito asked taking the crystal from Nightmare.
"It is a risky plan, but it might work, so you have to hold on to that crystal and you have to act normal, while I will follow if the two happen to take you and kill you, I will follow you guys and we will hold them off till back up comes." Nightmare explained, making Kirito gulp.
"That is...the most fucking craziest plan ever...and it probably is our only one." Kirito admitted, which Nightmare sighed.
"I know, but one of us might die at the end of this." Nightmare stated, as Kirito just starred.
"No...we will live." Kirito declared, which made Nightmare laugh a bit.
"I will try to live, but you have to as well." Nightmare replied.
"Agree." Kirito agreed.
*Back to the present*
"Don't worry we will make it out of this Kazuto...otherwise we will all die." Nightmare stated walking far enough to see the group Kirito was in.
*In the mountains of floor 55*
"Alright time to take a break." Godfree called throwing 3 bags filled with food and water, which everyone got.
'Ok nothing suspicious...man I wish I got a meal from Asuna.' Kirito thought drinking some water till he froze and looked at the twins. 'Shit...' Kirito thought again throwing the water in the air and layed down paralyzed, as Godfree was in the same condition.
"Hahahaha! To think that it will end here...oh boys time to kill!" Kuradeel called, with 18 members of Laughing Coffin coming from behind a path in front of them.
"Shit this gotten bad..." Nightmare muttered sending a message to his friends, then stepped out into the open surprising everyone except Kirito. "The remaining of Laughing Coffen I'm never thought that this fight will end up like this." Nightmare claimed pulling out both his swords.
"Well what do you suspect? They like being...well you know." Kirito stated getting up surprising everyone except Nightmare as he got his own two swords.
"How?! We paralyzed you and poison you! We left fucking Godfree so we could cause him pain!" Kuradeel screamed in fury.
"Well it was thanks to Nightmare for giving me a crystal that I hide, but that crystal heals everything and my health, and he heard your plan next time be quite." Kirito explained making the laughing coffen members glare at the twins, as they shook in fear.
"Plus when you were all distracted I got the crystals to help his condition." Nightmare told them all, as Godfree got up weapon in hand.
"Now you will be sent to prison for this." Godfree stated in a serious voice.
"Or die depending how this goes." Nightmare added, as everyone raised a eyebrow. "What? You know what fuck this!" Nightmare yelled charging at the red players.
*With the rest of the gang*
"Haha! I'm serious though." Lis told everyone, as everyone laugh, but stop when Klien and Punisher gotten a message, which soon the two a horrific look, making everyone confused.
"We have to go now!" Klien yelled in fear getting his gear ready, making everyone confused.
"What is wrong?" Rain asked.
"It is Nightmare and Kirito, they are stuck fighting Laughing Coffen and two traitors from your guild Asuna." Punisher answered, as everyone gasped at the news.
*With Kirito, Nightmare, and Godfree*
"Gah...shit I'm going low on health...how are you two doing?" Nightmare asked whipping his mouth.
"Yea...but all we can do is hurt them, and since Kuradeel and Suradeel attacked us and hit us they are orange players now." Kirito replied defending from a attack then striking back.
"So when is that back up coming?" Godfree asked knocking a Laughing Coffen member to the wall.
"Soon hopefully...stay back!" Nightmare screamed hitting a LC member in the head with the hilt of his sword.
"That does not help us." Godfree stated backing up a bit.
"Shit...we are out number and we are in the low yellow from them attacking us at the same time...and to think I never gotten to see Sugu grow up..." Kirito mumbled the end which the group of 20 went to strike, till a barge of people came in and attack them.
"Ow...hey guys." Nightmare wave, as Kirito and Godfree sighed in relief.
"Hey! You guys almost died!" Their friends yelled, which Kirito and Nightmare covered their ears, as Godfree laughed.
"Well sorry we called when the attack just happened!" The brothers countered glaring at their friends.
"Hey not that your fight is interesting but we have more important things to." Godfree stated, which everyone nodded the were starring at the group the were fighting who were at the mid yellow.
"I got the two jackasses!" Nightmare yelled charging at Suradeel and one Laughing Coffen member.
"Well we better get moving, so come on!" Kirito yelled charging at the army, with everyone following behind him, which they took many laughing Coffen members and sent them to jail, as one escaped leaving one member left, and Kuradeel and Suradeel, which Nightmare was having trouble holding of.
"*Pant**Pant* you people are good but you forgot one thing...never leave your back open." The twins said at the exact same time, confusing Nightmare till he looked at Asuna and Rain who could be attacked freely, which the twins ran at them, and with only one option left Nightmare ran and took the hit but stabbed Suradeel in the chest before getting thrown back by the impact, which caused everyone to gasp in fear about what happened as Nightmare's hp went down slowly and they saw Suradeel die.
"To think that idiot was-gahh!" Kuradeel started, till Kirito striked Kuradeel.
" . !" Kirito yelled in rage using star burst stream killing Kuradeel as said man screamed in agony. "And stay dead...asshole." Kirito stated coldly, scaring his friends, except Rain who was holding Nightmare, which Kirito ran towards them.
"N-Nightmare...*Sniff* please you have*sniff* have to live..." Rain cried, as Kirito was bagging his fist to the ground, with Asuna holding Kirito.
"Come on man please...you promised our sister you'll see her grow up...you got to get up!" Kirito yelled in a depressed.
"H-he-he...y-you...t-think...I...had no...plan...for this...Kazuto, any...way...remember December...event...year...ago...you...gave...Klien..." Nightmare breathed slowly and tiredly, and it caused everyone except Kirito to be confused by the name.
"Come on Ray don't give up on me!" Kirito yelled in rage.
"Please Nightmare don't die...cause I-I..." Rain shuttered then kiss Nightmare on the lips, and once she was done Nightmare exploded into pixels until she heard 'I love you too.' Making her gasp. "N-no...NO!" Rain screamed, until Kirito's eyes wide.
"That is what he mean, Klien! Open your menu!" Kirito yelled, as Klien shook and did what he said, and Kirito scrolled through Klien's menu and found the revival item he got from the Christmas event. "Ok a few seconds left come on work!" Kirito shouted as the item came to his menu, then pointed the item at the spot Nightmare died, which in a second he was laying there with full health, causing everyone to gasp.
"Agh! Shit that felt weird!" Nightmare shouted holding his sides, till Rain jump on him, but no one noticed the last Laughing Coffen member left.
"Oh God Nightmare...please don't ever do that again it scared me!" Rain cried into Nightmare's chest, which he hold her.
"Don't worry Rain...I'm here I love you." Nightmare told Rain, as she gasp but kissed Nightmare, which soon it was only Rain, Nightmare, Asuna, and Kirito, Godfree.
"I will tell the commander about what happened." Godfree told them then left, as Nightmare and Rain were about to leave.
"How about we head to me and Asuna's house? And maybe you two can stay for the night..." Rain asked awkwardly, which everyone agreed with a bit embarrassed, but Asuna stopped Kirito, making him confused.
"Kirito...I want to say that I...I...I..." Asuna studder.
"Asuna breath..." Kirito stated, which Asuna did.
"Kirito I think...after today...we should stay away from each other...to prevent more chaos." Asuna stated crying, which Kirito grabbed her shoulders and Kissed her.
"Asuna no matter what I would go through hell just to be with you." Kirito replied in a sweet caring voice, which made Asuna tear up. "Come on Asuna lets go before Nightmare teases us like no tomorrow." Kirito joked, which made Asuna giggle a bit.
*At Asuna's and Rain's house*
"That is some good tea..." Nightmare told the girls, which they muttered a thank you, and a awkward silence came. "You know what...I'm going to take a walk...I will be back later..." Nightmare told the girls and Kirito as he left with his gear on.
"I'll go watch him, we will be back soon." Rain added, putting on her new gear she got then left.
"Alright then!" Asuna called getting up and turning off the lights leaving a stunned Kirito who almost spit out his drink.
'This...is interesting..." Kirito thought gulping.
*With Nightmare*
'Is what he said true? After that duel?' Nightmare thought.
*Flashback-After duel with Chills and after over hearing the discussion with the twins*
"Hello Nightmare, is there something you need?" Chills asked, while Nightmare glared.
"Yea Chills, or should I say Robbert Kiyaba!" Nightmare exclaimed, making Chills freeze.
"Nice work finding out...and you probably know who my older brother is, but I can't let you spread this information to the public, so I suppose a deal..." Chills stated, making Nightmare raise a eyebrow.
"What Kind of deal?" Nightmare asked questionablely, which Chills smirked.
"Easy all me and my brother need is time, and if you tell anyone I will have to force a teleportation on your friends to a location where they will die, as I kill you myself." Chills answered with a dark smile, making Nightmare shake in rage while gritting his teeth. "Now if we are done here I will take my leave." Chills stated, as Nightmare stood there in rage.
*Flashback end*
'I will kill that bastard if it's the last thing I do!' Nightmare thought gritting his teeth.
"Nightmare...are you ok?" A voice called, making Nightmare freeze to look at Rain who was behind him looking concern.
"I'm fine...just thinking..." Nightmare replied telling a lie.
"About what?" Rain asked curiously.
"About everything till now..." Nightmare answered, as Rain and Nightmare looked at the sky seeing the stars, till a thought came into his mine, which he bet Kirito was doing right now, which caused him to smile. "Hey Rain...I remember hearing about a place far in floor 22, a huge log cabin, and maybe if you want we can go there...ummm..." Nightmare started making Rain confused, till Nightmare took a deep breath. "We can go there...married..." Nightmare finished, causing Rain to gasp in surprise.
"I-I would love that Nightmare." Rain stated with a smile hugging him, which he returned.
*With Kirito and Asuna*
"I think we should head there and get married Asuna." Kirito told Asuna seriously, which she gasped, then nodded shedding a few tears of joy.
