I do not own Sword Art Online or any of the characters. I was wrong. There will be a chapter after this.
Return
Sinon exhaled, firing her sniper rifle and blasting one player in the side of the head then another in the side, killing both, then smirked before the world around her twitched and blurred then returned to normal again. Sinon looked around, raising an eyebrow before shrugging standing and slinging her rifle across her back and opening her menu.
"I should probably get some food," Sinon sighed. "It's nearly noon. I think I'll head into ALfheim after that."
She opened her options menu and froze, staring at the empty slot. That couldn't be right. The logout button couldn't really be gone. Surely it was a mistake and the word just wasn't showing up.
She pressed the slot. Nothing. She pressed it again. Nothing. She jammed her finger into it hard repeatedly. Repeated nothings.
"What the hell is going on?" Sinon breathed just as the massive screen tower that had been added to the city for announcements lit up with a face.
The face was tan with a broad jaw, a pair of glowing red goggles, a black cloak with the hood up, and a black chest plate. The face stared out at the world silently for nearly a full minute before speaking.
"The time has come my brothers," the face spoke, an evil grin spreading across it, displaying his pointed teeth. "No longer will we wait in the shadows. It's time to reveal ourselves! It's time to remind the world who we are! It's time for Laughing Coffin to rise again! Go! Slaughter and kill as you please! Show the world our power!"
The screen went to static for a moment before the Laughing Coffin symbol appeared on the screen and a recording of a distorted, demonic laugh began to play. Then, screaming began. Sinon raised her rifle, looking at the city through the scope. It was a blood bath. Players were slaughtering each other in the streets.A payer was riding down one street with a pair of M16s, mowing down fleeing players as he passed them. On another street, a player was hurling grenades into buildings, blasting players by the dozen. On a stairway leading up to the city, Behemoth raised his minigun, a Laughing Coffin symbol displayed proudly on his shoulder. A dozen or so players turned to flee from him but he opened fire, mowing them down in seconds before leaning back, beginning to laugh. Sinon lowered her rifle, eyes wide with fear.
"Oh God," Sinon breathed. "Please no."
She turned, looking around as a group of players riding in dune buggies sped toward her, hooting and hollering and cheering. Prediction lines began to light up around her and she dove to the side, bullets beginning to fly past. She drew her machine pistol and pulled out a grenade. She hurled the grenade, hearing it explode and several players scream then turned, sprinting away while shooting at the other buggies. She saw a player fall out of one but then had to focus on running as bullets began to hit around her again.
"This can't be real!" Sinon gasped as she ducked behind a low wall just before a second later a buggy sailed over her, her vision lighting up red. "Michael!"
Read and review. Okay, the next will be the last, and there will be a second part if I get enough reviews or PMs for one.
