I don't own Sword Art Online or Mataras the Red Swordsman. Sword Art Online is owned by Reki Kawahara. Mataras the Red Swordsman is owned by Mataras the Author. The Wyvern's Inferno guild is owned by TheSib. I only own my OCs.
Chapter 9: Ren, and The Wyvern's Inferno.
Akira and his party didn't stop running until they reached the nearest safe zone. It was then that the group collapsed from exhaustion, and adrenaline rush.
"That was close." Akira gasped, as was leaning on the wall.
"Aye," agreed Mataras, "I think that has got to be the fastest I have ran since the two years I've been in here." he said leaning on a pillar trying to calm down.
"One thing is for sure." said Diabel, "That boss is going to be tough to beat."
"Yeah, your right, I saw he only had that giant horse cleaver, and he's probably got special attacks too." Kirito nodded.
"We're gonna have to put up tanks in the front just to wear it down." Asuna pointed out.
"And it probably wouldn't hurt to have ten shield users or so." Sachi sighed.
"Shield users huh?" Asuna suddenly asked, looking at the guild.
"What's up?" Kirito asked a little uneasy.
"I just noticed something, the biggest advantage to using a one handed sword, is that you can also use a shield, but I don't think that besides Diabel, I don't think I've seen any of you guys ever using one before." she pointed out.
"Oh, well Mataras taught how to use the sword without the shield, and I'm glad he did, otherwise I wouldn't have made out of that dungeon on Floor 27 if I was any slower than I was." Sachi explained.
"I'm more of a balanced user when using a one handed sword." Akira said to Asuna.
"I don't use a shield because it slows down my Dragon Blood skill, it also reduces for options in combat." Mataras said, then everyone turned to Kirito.
"They look dumb, and they're known to slow people down, I'm sure I've seen multiple times about shield users getting killed because they were slowed down by the weapon." said the black swordsman.
Asuna decided to back away, for now. "Oh well, since it's getting late, why don't we have lunch here?" Asuna, Sachi, and Silica all handed out sandwiches, Akira got a peanut butter and jelly sandwich from Silica. Kirito was made a sauce taste tester and discovered that she made mayonnaise and soy sauce.
At that very moment, the group heard the sound of players entering the safe zone, they were tensed, ready for an ambush, revealing several men in red samurai armor dragging their feet into the area. Their leader was familiar man wearing a red bandana around his head.
"Hey Klein, I haven't seen you in a while." Agil waved. The group looked up, and saw the safe zone was already occupied.
"Oh hey you guys, how are you doing?" Their leader asked, coming to meet them.
"We're doing good, Klein." replied Akira, only to turn and see Kirito turn his face away.
Kirito was still feeling down for leaving without him on the day the whole thing started.
Klein looked around, "You seriously still hanging around with this loser?" he asked, then spotted Asuna at the back, "Kirito, stop taking all the girls dammit." he said in a friendly manner.
"Asuna kinda partied up with us." Silica explained.
"Leave some of the girls for the rest of us man." said the samurai.
Just then, another guild entered the safe zone, the group were young teens, around the same age as The Moonlit Black Cats. This was the guild known as Wyvern's Inferno.
The first member was a young boy with black hair, had light blue eyes, and wore black frame glasses. He had a black cloak on over his dark blue shirt, light metal armor, and black pants. He wielded a one handed sword with a white two handled grip. The boy was around the same age as Silica. His name was Quint Polaris, or Quint for short.
The second member was a girl around fifteen, she had red hair tied up into a ponytail, and wore red light weight leather armor with shoulder pads. She had light blue eyes, and wore a hooded cloak which hid a single short sword sheathed on her waist. This was Dagger, otherwise known as the Rip-off Merchant.
The third member was also a girl, around the same age as Silica, and the young boy. She had brunette hair, pink eyes, and was rapier user. She wore a red shirt with light chest armor, with a pink skirt, red fingerless gloves, black knee high stockings, and and black with silver trimmed, high heeled shoes. Her name was Mai.
The forth member was a young boy in his teens around the same as the other guild members but a year older tan their leader, he had blonde hair, and light blue eyes, but mostly used a dark green cloak to hide his dagger when in combat. His name was Riku, the leaders cousin.
The fifth member was another boy around the same year as the leader of the guild, he had messy black hair, orange eyes and wore black and red light weight battle armor over a black shirt and pants, and wielded a two handed axe, which was strapped to his back. This was Helios, one of the most prideful members, and Dagger's boyfriend.
The last two members were very well known as well, the first was a girl around the same age as the others, and an older sibling to the young brunette, she had long black hair, red eyes, and wore a red and black dress over light silver armor. She also wielded a long scythe strapped to her back. Her name was Alice, and she was Mai's older sister. The Other was the leader, he had brown hair, light blue eyes, and wore a black shirt, with a red coat overtop. He had brown pants with matching fingerless gloves, red shoes, and a red sword strapped on his back. His name was Ren, he was the leader of the guild, Alice's boyfriend, Helios' best friend, and Riku's cousin.
Akira instantly recognized them as they stepped into the safe zone. "Hey Ren, It's so good to see you." he waved.
Ren saw the two guilds and made his way over. "The feelings mutual, Akira." he said.
The group had quite a conversation with each other, even congratulating Helios, Dagger, Alice and Ren on becoming couples, but then Akira saw Kirito was still nervous, and Akira remembered why.
FLASHBACK It was during the second boss raid, on the second floor, with a field boss called Furious Horn, a giant sized bull with a nose piercing, and the creature was rampaging over the fields. The party was having trouble with the boss, until Ren stepped up and gave battle commands.
"Alice! Riku! Go for the legs!" he commanded the two.
The duo did so instantly, knocking the creature of balance, he then commanded Helios to knock down the boss, and was done so. He then got in with Kirito, and his party to take down more of its HP, and Ren finished the boss off. Ever since then, Ren was well as a warrior, and a strategist. It was after the battle when Kirito introduced, The Wyvern's Inferno to his Party members. Ren, and Akira became fast friends, same with Mataras, and Helios, though they did acted more like rivals. After leaving, Kirito explained why he felt so down, and Akira suggested to try and make up with them the next time all three of them were together. Kirito never forgot that. END FLASHBACK
Akira walked over to Kirito to get his attention, "Hey, If you want to make up for what happened. Then now is a good time as any." he suggested.
Kirito sighed, and decided to it now. "Hey Klein, Ren?" he said getting the two's attention. "Remember when the event happened on Floor 1, you told me to go on ahead?" he asked.
The two nodded as he continued, "Well I felt really bad for leaving you guys that day. In fact, I've been regretting that event ever since I left for the next town." he continued, and then bowed to both Klein, and Ren leaving everyone in shock. "I hope you don't get mad, but I wanted to say that, I'm sorry for leaving you guys. I should've stayed and helped you, but I turned and ran to try and clear the game on my own. If it hadn't been for Akira here, I might not have gotten this chance to tell you." he finished.
At first nothing really happened, until Ren came and put his right hand on Kirito's left shoulder, and when Kirito looked up, he saw both of the men smiling.
"Is that why you've been such a downer. You don't have to worry about that." smirked Klein.
"He's right, the past is in the past, so you don't to worry about it anymore. We forgive you man, but on one condition." Ren nodded.
Kirito smiled as back to his guild, "Name it." he said.
"If you need to talk about anything wrong, just let us know from now on, okay?" Ren said, and Klein nodded in agreement.
Kirito then did something he never done before, he stook out his left hand, and gave a thumbs up. "You can count on that one, Ren." he replied.
Everyone laughed, and cheered as Kirito, Ren, and Klein made a group fist bump to show the past was finally behind them. Kirito then introduced Klein's guild, and Ren's guild to Asuna, and vice versa. The men from Klein's guild were apparently fan's of her, because they crowded around her to get a chance to say hello.
Then Mataras drew his sword at the men, "Don't treat Asuna as some idol like that, in fact,d on't treat anyone in my family like that!" he said, Asuna and the others looked at him with what was close to shock. He considered her a part of his SAO family?
Before anyone could him what he meant, the safe zone barrier went up again, and everyone turned to see a large group of greenish-grey armor troops walk in lead by a man in the same armor with a red sash on his shoulder.
"It's an army." whispered Sachi.
"Isn't that the big guild that runs Floor 1, The Aincrad Liberation Army?" asked Mai.
"Yeah," nodded Klein, "But what are they doing here?"
"I haven't seen them since the boss fight on Floor 25, and ever since then, they've been focused on building their numbers instead of their levels." Asuna replied, "I don't think that they been on the front lines ever since then."
"At ease!" commanded the man in front, his men abruptly collapsed into a pile. The leader of the group moved forward, stopping a few meters of the three guilds. "I'm with the Aincrad Liberation Army, Lt. Colonel Korvatz." He introduced himself.
"I'm Kirito, Leader of The Moonlit Black Cats. This is Ren, Leader of Wyvern's Inferno. Klein, Leader of Furinkazin, and Asuna, Vice Commander of the Knights of The Blood Oath." said The Black Swordsman.
"Sure, you are. Have you cleared the area ahead?" asked Korvatz, he was obviously not impressed.
"We did, and we also have a map with directions to the boss room." nodded Kirito.
"Alright, then hand over the map data and we'll be on our way." demanded Korvatz, much to the shock and anger of everyone in the frontlines.
"What the hell? Do you know how much a pain in the ass mapping can be?" questioned Klein.
"It's extremely hard work to do, and really dangerous also, the worst that you guys get are slimes, wolves, and boars, we have to deal with even tougher enemies with way harder attack patterns." stated Akira.
"We share our resources with civilian players all the time! And we don't charge a thing for it! Now hand over that map!" Korvatz demanded again.
The whole group all growled in rage, or annoyance at this, just when Akira was about to stoke out his sword, Kirito held his hand to stop him.
"It's cool everyone, as soon as we got back to the town, I was gonna public the map anyway." said Kirito, as he set the trade menu up, and handed Korvatz the map.
"You should've charged him." moaned Dagger.
"Thanks for your cooperation." said Korvatz, as he closed his menu.
"By the way, If your going to challenge the boss, I wouldn't recommend it if I were you." Kirito added.
"That's my decision to make, not yours." Korvatz simply said.
Kirito could see that Korvatz was going anyway, even though he tried to warn him. "Hey, my guild, Asuna and I all just saw the boss earlier. Trust me, especially your men, look at them, they're half dead from exhaustion!" he said.
"Nonsense! My men are tougher than that!" snapped Korvatz, he then addressed his troops, "We're moving out! On your feet men! Come on move!"
The army then staggered to get back up and followed their leader out of the safe zone. The others just watched as they left.
"Is it just me, or did Korvatz imply that we are inferior to his troops?" asked Mataras.
"I'm pretty sure he did." muttered Kirito.
"Just who the hell does he think he is?" shouted Helios.
"Korvatz's negotiations aside, you think they're going to be okay." Klein asked.
"They wouldn't rush the boss room without finding out more about it first… right?" asked Asuna.
The group thought about this for a minute, and Akira replied, "Come on everyone, we better make sure that they're going to be alright." The group nodded in agreement and went after them.
As they walked, Ren walked up to Kirito, "You said your group already saw the boss right? What exactly did it look like?" he asked.
Kirito shuddered as he remembered the sight of the boss, "It was a giant demonic goat like monster called, 'The Gleam Eyes'. It wielded a giant sword called a Zambato, and I'm pretty sure the boss has a breath attack." he said.
"Any info on the attack patterns?" Ren asked.
"No, because as soon as we saw the boss, we ran for our lives as fast as we could." Mataras answered for Kirito, as he shook his head.
"So it's that strong, huh?" said Ren as he thought about how to deal with the boss.
With the aid of Furinkazan, and Wyvern's Inferno, the way back to the boss room, was a lot faster, and easier than before, but what was to be expected from there guilds working together.
Alice swung her scythe and knocked back the weapon of a lizardman. "Asuna! Switch!"
Asuna sped right past her and struck the monster with her rapier, taking the rest of the mob's hp down to zero. When the monster was gone, the two gave each other a high five.
"Your really amazing with that scythe of yours Alice." Asuna said with a grin.
"Thanks Asuna. But I have been wondering about something." she replied as a smirk came along Alice's face as she leaned in towards Asuna. "Just why exactly are you partying up with the Moonlit Black Cats' leader, Kirito?" Asuna's cheeks started blushing at the question, this caused Alice's smirk to get bigger. "Is it because you like him?"
"W-W-What makes you say that?!" exclaimed Asuna.
Alice only smiled, while the other girls giggled at her, seeing how flustered she was. "Oh yeah, you totally like him." she then turned to Kirito, and his brothers fighting alongside Ren. "He really is amazing though, Kirito and his brothers-in-arms. Working in guild must be hard for them, yet they manage to do it so well."
Asuna smiled as she stared at Kirito, "Yeah, he sure is amazing." she said.
Mataras, and Akira didn't use their unique skills, it was to make sure the group didn't get any weird ideas. Kirito swung his Elucidator upwards, as Akira strock downwards, and Mataras hit the mobs' arm, taking the weapon off. "Alright Ren! Finish it!" called Kirito.
"With pleasure." Ren grinned as he moved in and attacked with a sword skill. His sword, Inferno Blazer glowed in a bright light as it slashed away the last of the monster's HP. It let out a painful cry as it shattered to pieces.
Klein slashed through the last mob with his katana, "Well, that's the last of them, all that's left is the boss room." he said.
Mataras however, noticed something wasn't right. "I still haven't seen any of the Aincrad Liberation Army yet."
Mai nodded, "I wondered what happened?" she asked.
"Maybe they used some sort of teleport crystal to go back." suggested Klein.
Everyone hoped the comment was true, until they heard a scream filling the air. "Those IDIOTS!" Mataras scowled.
Akira ran off towards the sound followed by his guild mates and Asuna, along with Ren. The sounds of screaming got louder and louder as they got closer to the boss room.
As the group reaches the boss room, they all gasp at what they see inside. The entire ALA guild were scattered around as the boss' back was back to them.
"What are you doing?! You've got to get out of there! Quickly use your teleport crystals!" cried out Akira.
"We can't!" one of the soldiers cried out, "The crystals aren't working!"
"The boss floor is an Anti-Crystal Zone?!" Kirito asked.
Akira, Kirito, Mataras, Diabel, and Sachi all flinched as they remembered what happened the last time this happened, leading to the death of Tetsuo, Ducker, and Sasamaru.
"What's going on?" Klein called, as the rest of the group arrived to see what was happened.
"The Aincrad Liberation Army doesn't know the word retreat!" cried out Korvatz, "Come on! Keep fighting!" he commanded.
"They can't use their teleportation crystals." explained Ren, and was trying to figure out how to get the army out of the area.
Klein was wondering if their was anything they could do until Korvatz made a mistake that he couldn't call back. "Ready! CHARGE!" he called out.
"No! Stop! Don't Do It!" Akira called out, but it was to late. The boss unleashed a blast of pure energy on the Army in a breath attack, and then thrusted his sword into the army, scattering them, and tossed one towards the front gate. It was Korvatz.
"Hang on Korvatz!" muttered Kirito as he rushed over to help him.
Korvatz's helmet broke into fragments, and revealed his frightened face, shedding tears. "I can't believe it." he muttered and shattered into polygons. The group gasped in horror at what just happened.
The boss raised its sword, preparing to kill the rest, as a scream came from one of the army members. Mataras' eyes blazed silver, "Blast you!" he snarled, drawing his sword, and charging the boss.
"Mataras!" cried Sachi, as she rushed in after him, with the rest of the massive group following in, as Mataras struck on the boss' back. The boss shrugged it off, and punched him back.
Mataras managed to land back on his feet and saw the blade coming in. Akira came in with Kirito to block the blade.
"Get out!" shouted Akira, as Mataras move away to safety.
Meanwhile, the rest of the cats, Furinkazan, and Wyvern's Inferno move the Army out of the boss room to safety. "Thanks…" said one of the soldiers, Klein turned to him as he replied.
"No problem, buddy." he replied.
Akira was leading the evacuation, and helping Silica and Pina who were holding a soldier together. However, the boss was unleashing a massive amount of damage to the whole group. Mataras, Kirito, and Asuna were fighting the Gleam Eyes as much as possible, but weren't doing a lot of damage. This would take forever to beat the boss, and everyone was nearing the yellow zone while the Army was almost dead. It would be the end, unless…
Akira then had an idea, it was risky but they were put down to their last option. "Hey Klein, can you help out Asuna and the others, while Sachi, Mataras, Kirito, and I take care of something for thirty seconds?" he called out.
"We'll try!" Klein called back and went to help out the others while Sachi went to Mataras, Kirito, and Akira.
"Sachi, I want you to give Kirito the Dark Repulser, I'm going to use my Azure Flame skill, Mataras you use your Dragon Blood," said Akira in a almost state of command, he then turned to Kirito, "Kirito, you have to use it."
"But if I do…" Kirito started to say.
"No buts, If you don't don't use it, everyone is going to get killed by that boss!" argued Akira. Kirito set his jaw, and opened his menu without saying another word. Sachi gave him the sword, and the trio stood side-by-side as Kirito shouted to the other warriors.
"All right, we're ready!" cried Kirito. "Switch out!" Klein, Asuna, Ren, and several others moved out of the way swiftly with their HP in the yellow zone. Normally, they would use healing crystals by now, but the boss room prevented the players from using teleport crystals, so all the crystals wouldn't work, even healing crystals. It was up to the Moonlit Black Cats now.
Akira moved in first, as his sword bursted into flames, and unleashed a sword skill called, Vorpol Strike. The impact landed on the boss' back, giving it the burn effect.
The Red Swordsman went in next, deflecting the massive blade, and shifted his body to parallel the massive blade, and landed his sword, Guilty Thorn into the boss' face. The attack made the boss staggered back a few paces.
Kirito roared as he skidded his Elucidator across The Gleam Eyes' blade. As he did, an emerald light appeared on his back. As it manifested, it turned into the blade Sachi gave him, the Dark Repulser, Kirito grabbed it and struck the blade into the Gleam Eyes.
The others stared in shock, Mataras' eyes were a glimmering draconic silver, Akira's sword was ablaze in azure blue fire, and Kirito was use two swords at the same time. This was something that has never happened in Aincrad. Kirito then used his two swords to block the boss' blade and pushed it back.
"It's all you Kirito!" called Akira.
Kirito nodded, "Okay, here goes." he said, looked up and attacked, "Starburst Stream!" he yelled, his two swords glowed in a veiled light as he struck at the boss. The Gleam Eyes' health dropped dramatically. He was putting all of his energy into this attack, and stabbed the boss, until his Elucidator was caught, he still had Dark Repulser and the blade struck through, causing the boss to shatter into polygons.
"Is it over?" asked Silica, as a huge sign saying Congratulations appeared. However, everyone was still staring at Kirito, who suddenly passed out, and collapsed onto the ground, and lost consciousness.
"Kirito!" cried Asuna, as the whole group over to see if they could help him. She sat next to him as he laid unconscious on the ground as she called out, "Kirito! Wake up, Kirito!" she begged as the swordsman slowly got up.
"Drink. No complaints." Mataras, ordered, handing him a health potion, Kirito took it and did so.
When his health was back in the green zone, Kirito turned his attention to the others, "How long was I out for?" he asked.
"Just a few seconds." replied Akira, and sighed in relief, knowing his friend was okay.
"You reckless idiot!" cried Asuna, as she embraced him tightly and bursted into tears. "I was so worried something might've happened to you." she said as she continued to cry.
Klein stepped up solemn, and delivered the news that no one wanted to hear. "We managed to heal the rest of the army, but, Korvatz and two of his men were the only ones that didn't make it." he sadly said.
"We did so well to." Mai sadly said as she hugged her sister Alice.
"Aye, we haven't lost a player in a boss fight, since our battle with the Dark Prankster on Floor 67." Mataras nodded.
Klein on the other hand was angry, "That wasn't a boss fight, that was suicide!" he said, "Korvatz was a damned fool to go and do that!" He then turned to the army enraged, "There's no to any of this if you die!"
The Army couldn't come up with an excuse to explain what they did was wrong, as Klein turned back to Kirito and the others.
"You guys aren't off the hook yet either, what the heck did you do just now?" demanded Klein.
Kirito looked at the group with a bit of concern in having everyone wanting to hear the details. "Do I really have to tell you?" he asked.
"Of coarse you do, what was that?!" exclaimed Ren, "I've never seen anything like it!"
Kirito looked down and sighed, and he told them what it was, "Akira, Mataras, and I all have extra skills. Mine is Dual Wielding."
"Whoa!" exclaimed the rest of the group. Kirito then explained how he got his skill and why he didn't show it to anyone, and then, Mataras told his unique skill, Dragon Blood, it basically freed him from the system boundaries of combat, but couldn't provide additional damage. Akira went last and explained his Azure Flame skill.
Afterwards, Klein asked, "Hey, are their prerequisites?"
"If I knew I would've told you by now." Kirito replied.
Dagger smirked as she asked a particular question, "And you didn't show this why?" she asked in a smirk.
Akira replied, "Remember how Heathcliff first reviled the Divine Blade, and then formed the KOB? Many players wanted to know how he got the skill, and couldn't explain, a lot of players got mad until the guild was formed."
Dagger's smirk went away, and nodded in agreement as to why they didn't show it off. Klein nodded, "That makes sense actually. Yeah, well most players are but not me. True though, many players would get jealous about that, and that." Klein said as he referred to Asuna still hugging him. "Life is an experience, so keep soldiering on pal."
Ren nodded in agreement, "We're going back to town to rest up. See you later guys." he said.
"Well, we're gonna trigger the warp gate, wanna come?" Klein asked.
"Nah, we're good, we're heading home as well." replied Akira as he went to join his guild.
"Alright then." Klein sasid as he turned to he to the stairs, as he reached the first step, he stopped and turned to Akira, "Hey Akira?" Klein asked.
"Yeah?" replied Akira.
"Were you the one, who convinced Kirito to talk to us about what happened on Floor 1?" Klein asked, with a concerned look.
Akira smiled and nodded as he replied, "Yeah, I was."
Klein smiled as he rubbed his eyes, "Well, I'm glad you did. Well I'll see you next time." he said as he turned around and went upstairs.
Akira then turned to his guild mates and saw Asuna still hugging Kirito, "You want to stay here for a bit, and talk to Asuna?" he asked.
Kirito nodded, and told them to go on ahead as he stayed put with Asuna.
The next morning was not so good for the Cats, turned out Dagger went and told on them about their unique skills, and the group was now hiding in Agil's shop. Kirito was slouching on the table, and Akira was grumbling in a fury. Mataras and Silica soon walked in, "Ugh, that's the house on Floor 2 gone. Now we need to find a new place to live." Mataras muttered.
"At least we got to keep our furniture, I have some in storage to help out." replied Silica.
"Why don't we turn our place on Floor 48 our new home?" Sachi suggested.
Liz then walked carrying in a box of supplies, "No good, I'm working overtime because of what happened." she replied.
"Oh man." groaned Akira.
"And if this day couldn't get any worse!" said Mataras.
And if someone was toying with them, Asuna soon came in panting from running, with a look of worry on her face. "Guys, I don't know what to do. We got a huge problem!" she announced, as Akira turned to Mataras.
"You were saying." he mumbled.
"Outside of boss fights, I don't think we've properly met, Moonlit Black Cats." The four leading figures of The Knights of The Blood Oath were in a meeting with The Moonlit Black Cats, and the room was similar to that of The Knights of the Round Table.
"That isn't true, we did meet before the boss fight on Floor 67." said Kirito.
"You also came to congratulate us for capturing PoH, and the other leaders of Laughing Coffin." added Akira.
"Yes, 67 was a difficult fight. We lost quite a number of players." The one speaking was Heathcliff, founder of the KOB, and the Assault Team. "We may be the top guild, but we barely manage to get by with the troops we have." he said.
"I think I know where this is going." said Akira.
"Go on." the Commander said.
"You believe that because Asuna partied with us yesterday, you think we're trying to take her away from your guild." Akira stated.
"That is correct." replied Heathcliff.
"And you want to duel Kirito for her 'freedom', and if we win she can come with us." Akira said.
"And if you lose, You will incorporate The Moonlit Black Cats into the Knights of The Blood Oath." Heathcliff finished.
"Now hold on a moment, If this is for the future of the Black Cats, this should be more than one-on-one." Mataras interjected.
"That's right, since it is my former guild at stake, I say it's better to do a best of three in a series of duels." Sachi suggested.
"Fair enough Miss Sachi. We'll settle it that way. The guild with two out of three wins and the conditions will take affect." agreed Heathcliff.
"Well then, if that's the case. Let the games begin!" smirked Akira.
Akira: All right, it's time to bring some big shot warriors down. Let's get them!
Mataras: I agree, bring the fodder so I can break them.
Asuna: Just don't overdo it!
Lauren: Wyvern's Inferno? When did this come up?
Akira: This wasn't my idea, the author asked the creator of this guild, TheSib, if he could use them for his story, and somehow manage to work them in somehow.
Mataras: So that guild are not yours?
Akira: Nope.
