Chapter 18

Hey everyone I'm back with the next chapter for you all, and I'll just get to the point, I do not own Sword art Online, would be awesome if I did, but I don't, but I do own my Oc's and the story idea, other than this I hope you all enjoy!


"So this is the home place, or the center of ALO, and where the Grand Quest is." Kirito muttered under his breath, till a hand got his shoulder.

"Yep! And this is were the mission begins." Lefa stated, which Kirito nodded his head.

"I still can't believe that this...all of this madness is going on in this game, a game where I help with." Seven spoke with a sad voice, which Sumeragi wrapped a arm around her.

"Well better believe it, cause from here on out we will save everyone from...the two jack asses who are forcing a wedding...I guess, or something of the lines I do not know really who is the mad man or woman who came up with this idea." Nightmare replied, which made everyone sweatdrop.

"...You forgot...?" Everyone asked, causing Nightmare to hang his head in defeat and draw circles on the ground.

"Shut up! I was focused on getting here and thinking of some plans that could work..." Nightmare muttered in defeat, which made everyone laugh except Sumeragi who just smirk.

"You know I can't believe we are working with the smartest and the most popular singer Seven, or Rainbow if you want to talk real life." Lefa told everyone, who just smirked at what she said.

"Well we should know to expect the unexpected." Kirito claimed, which Nightmare agreed with what Kirito said.

"Well, better find a inn." Nightmare added, which Kirito flinched.

"Fuck...I gave a large amount of my money to Sakuya and Alicia's armies." Kirito told the group, making Lefa laugh and roll on the ground, with Seven doing the same thing, but Nightmare smirk and Sumeragi just sighed and closed his eyes.

"Don't worry I'll pay since I'm tired like no tomorrow." Nightmare replied, which everyone smiled and went to a inn.

*Next Day in the morning*

"Aaaahhhh!" A scream came from the backyard of the house of the three adopted siblings, which Ray stopped eating when he heard it.

"Shit, Sugu is mad, I hope Kazuto did not do anything stupid, otherwise Sugu will kick him to next week...nah! He is not that big of an idiot!" Nightmare mussed to himself, until a red angry Sugu came into the kitchen and growled with a slapped face Kazuto following close behind with swirls in his eyes.

"I'm going to have a salad..." Sugu muttered under her breath, as Kazuto sat in a chair trying to regain his senses.

'Or I could be wrong about that and Kazuto is a crazy man who will do whatever he wants.' Nightmare thought with a sweatdrop, as Sugu came with two Salads in her hands.

"So what are you two planing to do today?" Sugu asked her two brothers, who had grim looks on their faces.

"Well...we were thinking of going to the hospital..." Kazuto answered with a tear about to fall, but Ray looked like he died.

"Ow...well...um, can I join you guys to the Hospital, to meet Asuna and Nijiki?" Sugu asked in a embarrassed voice, which surprised Kazuto and Ray a bit.

"Sure, I mean I think they would like it...right?" Ray question a bit with uncertainty, which Kazuto gave a smile and nodded his head.

"Yeah...yeah they would." Kazuto answered, which Ray smiled a bit.

*A few minutes later at the hospital *

"So this is the place where Asuna and Nijiki are at?" Sugu asked, which Ray and Kazuto just nodded their heads in a yes fashion.

"Yeah, but Ray what are you doing on your phone?" Kazuto replied, which Ray looked at both his adopted siblings then looked back to his phone.

"Just checking some messages, by the way you never told us who is in this arrangement of Asuna, I mean I told you who is trying to force a marriage with Nijiki." Ray answered, but Kazuto frowned and was about to cry, until Sugu put a hand on his shoulder.

"Thanks...the guy's name is Sugou, and what I can tell he is friends with Asuna's father, and works with him, and think is buddy-buddy with her brother." Kazuto said with a single tear, which shocked his adopted siblings.

"The fuck?! How the hell does that! Everyone knows that he is the guy who made-ow shit...he is the guy who made ALO...and he is the main game master..." Ray muttered with wide eyes, which Kazuto and Sugu thought about it for a second then realized what Ray ment with wide eyes.

"Right in front of us the hole time and we never put it together, but he is good with the government, meaning it's going to be hard to arrest him." Kazuto realized, which Sugu gulped a bit.

"We are goners are we?" Sugu questioned, which Ray shook his head.

"Not really a creator only has little time in the game, so he would probably put a regular scan or something like it to see if anyone is hacking or making chaos, so we should be fine." Ray answered with a uncertain voice, which eased Sugu's nerves a bit.

"We are here..." Kazuto told his sister, and duel eye brother, which they enter the room to see a a Amber hair girl in a hospital bed wearing a helmet on her head, which Kazuto took a seat next to the bed and looked like he was in space.

"Wow, he must really like her..." Sugu whispered, but Ray smiled a bit.

"Yeah, but when they first met they had...disagreements, but yeah he loves her so much he went berserk once when some events happened in SAO." Ray answered, which Sugu look sad.

"Is something wrong Sugu?" Ray asked concerned.

"It is you and Kazuto, you two found someone special, but I think I never will." Sugu answered, which surprised Ray since Sugu was stubborn like no tomorrow, but her admitting this made Ray feel bad, so he hugged Sugu which she cried a bit.

"It's alright, but never give up the right person could be closer than you think, all you have to do is look and listen to your heart, and you will find the person you love." Ray told Sugu, who listen and calmed down a bit, and after a bit of time she let go and smiled at Ray.

"Thank you Onii-San." Sugu told Ray, who smiled a bit.

"No problem sister, I'm going to go see Nijiki, watch Kazuto since he might do something stupid." Ray said as he left.

*A few minutes later in Nijiki's room*

"Huh, I wonder-ow, hello..." Ray told to two people who were adults, one was a woman with silver hair, who had honey gold eyes, pale white skin, and is wearing a black long sleeve shirt, and dark blue jeans, and brown boots, and the other person was a man with dark grey hair violet eyes, a light color skin, but is wearing a black suit and shoes. (Total guess on what Seven and Nijiki's parents are like)

"Hello, may I ask who you are?" The woman asked which was a light voice, which surprised Ray about who these two people are.

"U-umm, I'm Ray Destroyer, but my adopted name is Ray Kirigaya." Ray answered, making both adults look surprised.

"Ok...so what are you doing in my daughters room!" The man growled, but the woman just gave him a glare, while Ray gave him a look of no emotion or even a soul.

"Well me and Nijiki were friends in SAO...(yea 'friends')...so I come around here and check if she is ok, sometimes leave some flowers." Ray answered, but the man raised a eyebrow, but the woman just smiled.

"Are you sure your not more than friends with my daughter?" The woman question, causing Ray to have a blush on his face.

"Ok...maybe we were dating..." Ray replied lowly, which the man scowled, but the woman smiled.

"Hehe, that something she is going to get teased about, I'm Crystal (Don't know just winged it) and I'm Nijiki's mother." The woman named Crystal told Ray, who was shocked, but the man frowned.

"It's nice to meet you, but I have to hurry home, and it seems like you two want some alone time...so here is a gift I got her." Ray replied as he gave a bag to Crystal, who smiled.

"Thank you, and I hope you have a safe trip." Crystal told Ray who nodded his head and left though the door to the elevator, while the man was angry.

"Why did you-" The man started, but was interrupted by Crystal growling at him.

"I do not want to hear that from you Bill! (Not really creative on names)" Crystal yelled at Bill, who was shocked, as Crystal left.

*Later in ALO*

"Man that is a crazy time in a hospital." Kirito stated, which Nightmare shudder as he told what happened in hospital.

"I don't understand what he is doing, I mean everything that he did, he should know that no matter what he won't be forgiven easily." Seven replied, which everyone shrug their shoulders.

"He probably trying to be there like he should of been." Lefa guessed, making Seven gave a bitter laugh, which everyone noticed and winced a bit.

"Never have I met a man who was as selfish as him, no matter what he did it was always about the money, he did not care about anything other than money, it just makes me want to punch him till he is in the hospital." Sumeragi growled, surprisingly nobody was surprised but they were shocked about Nijiki and Seven's father.

"Can I join in beating the guy up." Nightmare asked, which Sumeragi nodded his head, making Nightmare smirk.

"Mommy/Mama..." The three pixies called out while looking up, which shocked Kirito and Nightmare to the core, but Lefa was looking around, while Seven and Sumeragi looked confused, but then Kirito flew up to the sky with Yui, Strea, and Zoey following close behind, as Nightmare was frozen in place.

"Kirito!" Lefa yelled, which knocked some sense back into Nightmare, which he soon flew up slowly, which Lefa, Seven, and Sumeragi follow, till they saw Kirito trying to break through a invisible wall, then trying to attack it with his sword.

"Come on BREAK!" Kirito yelled, with the 3 little girls crying out to their mothers.

"Kirito...stop...their is no way...to break it..." Nightmare spoke slowly, till something hit his head literally, and fell in his hand.

"Ok, that was weird like no tomorrow, seriously what just fell out of the sky?" Lefa cried out.

"What is it though?" Seven questioned, till Yui touched the object which looked like a black thick card, but as Yui touched it she gasped in shock.

"What is it Yui?" Kirito asked his daughter with a concern voice, till Strea did the same thing as Yui but had wide eyes and did not gasp.

"Apparently this is a access point like the one in SAO, and with this we can save mommy, then you and her will have a great time afterwards if you know what I mean." Strea replied with a wink, confusing Nightmare and Kirito, while Seven and Lefa were blushing, as Sumeragi just raised a eyebrow.

"I don't get it...wait do you mean a picnic! Then that would be the best!" Kirito claimed with a gleam in his eyes that were similar to a child on Christmas Day, but Strea had a giant grin.

"Bingo! When mommy gets free we can all go on a picnic." Strea exclaimed with joy, making Seven and Lefa sweatdrop.

"Alright we have something good, and the plan to help us with this quest which I came up with will start soon, so Kirito advice, don't let your emotions cloud your judgement, and don't be a dick cause you tend to do that time to time." Nightmare told Kirito, who looked a bit shocked and confused, but nonetheless he agreed.

"That is fine but what about the rest of us?" Sumeragi questioned with a raised eyebrow and stern gaze.

"Well this is our first time working together, and I don't know what else Lefa can do, but the order is that, Lefa you heal all of us, with Seven's help since she does not fight what so ever if I remember correctly, Sumeragi you will be middle to protect Seven and Lefa meaning you will watch them and fight whatever is in there, while me and Kirito will be front to fight anything charging at us." Nightmare explained as they were flying down to a path, and as they were walking they saw a Sylth who as they were getting closer was Recon.

"Lefa!" Recon called out with a shout, making Lefa embarrassed, while Seven and Sumeragi were confused, but Nightmare and Kirito had huge grins on their faces that looked like they knew this was going to happen.

"Recon...umm...can you give us some space?" Lefa asked, which Kirito and Nightmare grinned as they walked off, with Seven and Sumeragi following close behind, which left Lefa and Recon alone.

"So what are you doing here Recon?" Lefa questioned, making Recon look a bit nervous and unsettled.

"Well I came here to help...and to ask...well...if after this...that you wanted to go on...a date...with me...?" Recon replied with a squeaky voice, causing Lefa's eyes to widen a bit, as she thought about what Recon said.

"Well after this no...but next week a new movie is coming out, so we can probably watch is at 7:00 pm, so be there." Lefa told Recon with a wink and left, while Recon was shocked about what happened, and did a little cheer in his head, and hurried to follow the rest of the group.

*A few minutes later*

"Ok here it is, the final trial that is stopping us all from our goal." Nightmare declared, till something made Lefa thought of something.

"Wait! What is your plan Nightmare?" Lefa questioned, which Nightmare gave a smirk.

"Don't worry it will only take a few minutes I hope...we are probably are going to die..." Nightmare replied, while muttering the last part, which no one heard.

"Don't worry it can't be that bad!" Kirito claimed, as he opened the door, which showed a army of archers, and swordsman guardians.

"Jinxed it, and realized that you could've died, big improvement bro..." Nightmare replied sarcastically.
