Cold-Hearted Sniper
*GGO, SBC Glocken, Underground Dungeon, 9/14/2025*
Sinon was firing her Sniper Rifile to a monster that she's battling againist. The monster roared in pain as Sinon watch it with the scope. Than, the monster shot out a red beam from it's tail to Sinon. The beam stopped before hit it Sinon. Sinon pointed the Sniper on top of the monster. She than shoot's it as roared in pain. The monster beam the wall as it came collaspeing on top of it.
"*sigh in relief*"
Sinon found the monster from all the smoke and shot it. The monster roared as her. Sinon kept shooting it as bullets keep disappering in thin-air. Sinon took her final shot at the monster. The monster get's hit by hit and roar's as it fall's toward's the ground. The monster exploded and disappered in thin-air. Sinon looked at the monster disappered. A menu open in front of her.
*PGM Ultima Ratio Hecate 2*
She click's on the menu and and it closed. A sniper appered in mid-air. She grab's it and look's at it.
"Ultima Ratio Hecate 2. Hecate..." Sinon whisper
*GGO, Wasteland Field, 12/7/2025*
There were a group of players were sitting down all doing nothing but talking about something.
"Hey, Dyne... Are they really coming? Are you sure your information is good?"
"I checked their route myself. I'm sure of it. The monster spawns are probably good, so they're claering them out. That means more money for you. No complaining."
"But aren't these guys the same ones we hit last week? Isn't it possible they are scared and changed their route?"
"Monster-hunting squadrons don't care if they attacked as long asthey earn enough hunting. They're wonderful prey for player-hunting squadrons like ours. They're like monsters, moving by algorithm. They have no pride."
"That's right."
"They're all equipped with energy weapons for hunting monsters. As lomg as we have defense fields ready, they're easy prey."
"But couldn't they have some kind of contingency plan for us?"
"They can't easliy get that many physical guns, to attack humans. At best, they'll have one support weapon. And... The best sniper in GGO will take care of that for us."
The player look's at Sinon sitting down next with her sniper.
"The plan's perfect. Right, Sinon?"
She nodded.
"Well, that's probably ture. With Sinon's long-range attack, we're in great shape."
"*clear's thoart* That's right."
"Well... if, and I do mean if, Sinocchi were to miss, I'll buy us the sixty seconds she'll need to move and the reset the enemy ID information."
"Liten to you..."
"So anyway, Sinocchi... You free after this? I found a gun shop with a great selection, and we could go hang out afterward..."
"I'm sorry, Ginrou. After this, I have something to do in the real world." Sinon said
"I see... In the real world, you're a student, aren't you? Got a report to write or something?" Ginrou said
"Something like that."
"Ginrou, you're bothering Sinon. Don't talk about the real world here."
"That's right. Even id you're a lonely solo player, both here and there."
"What?! You guys haven't had a date in years, either."
"Cut it out, you guys-"
"They're here."
All of them stop.
"Then it's finally time..."
They see them with
"Yeah, it's them. One, two, three, four, five... Seven? There's one more than last week."
Sinon look's down with her Sniper scope.
"Four in the front row with enegry blasters. One with a high-caliber laser rifle. And... One with a physical gun, a Minimi. That's the target, then. That last one's wearing a cloak, so I can't see what he has."
"For real?"
"Yeah."
"Think it could be that guy Death Gun everyone's talking about?"
"Heh, No way. No way someone like that exists. He's probably a transporter who put all his points into strength. He's carrying ammo, energy packs, or the items they've earned. You can ingnore him during the battle."
"I don't like the look of that guy. I want to attack the one in the cloak first." Sinon said
"Why? He isn't carrying any real weaponry."
"I don't have a solid reason... I just don't like the fact that he's an unknown."
"But that Minimi's a problem, too. If we get stuck dealing with it, and the blasters get close, it'll be trouble."
"All right. I'll target the Minimi first. If I can, I'll hit the caped one with my next round."
"Hey' we're running out of time to chat... They're 2,500 meters away."
Okay, we'll follow the original plan, and advance to the building's shadow up ahead, to await the enemy. Sinon, if the situation changes, let us know. I'll tell you when to fire."
"Roger."
"Okay, let's go!"
All the players expect Sinon leave with their weapons. Sinon put's on her mic and look's threw the scope. As time passes, She stood at the exact same place waiting for the right moment.
"We're in position."
"Roger. The enemy hasn't changed course or speed. They're 400 meters from you, 1,500 from me."
"That's pretty far. Can you do it?"
"I'll be fine."
"Okay, open fire. I'm counting on you, Sinon."
"Roger."
She hold's still for a moment.
"This pressure, this unease... This terror... 1,500 meters? That's like tossing a wad of paper in wastebasket. Yes... Yes... Compared to that time..."
Sinon pull's the trigger as he bullet started going straight to the players. The bullet goes straight threw the players head as he disapper in thin-air and the gun hit's the ground.
"Next."
She pull's the trigger as the bullet started going to the leader. The player step's aside as the bullet hit's the ground. Sinon look's around the area.
"I won't be able to change position..."
"Objective one, clear. Oblective two, fail."
"Roger. Stand be there. Go! Go! Go!"
Sinon look's threw the scope again. When she saw the player with the cloak, he removed it. He had a mini gun behind his back.
"What the?! That's... A Minigun!" Sinon in shocked
"They weren't late because their hunt ran long. It was the movement penalty due to the Minigun's weight."
The player grab's his Minigun ready to shoot it. Sinon was still shocked. Sinon also saw two of her team mates running towards energy gun wielders. Ginrou shoot's two bullets that were going towards him. Ginrou started shooting both of them and killing them as they disapper in thin-air.
"Hell yea."
Ginrou run's behind a rock and start's reloading.
"I knew it, These guys are gonna be easy." Ginrou said
Ginrou look's in front to hear a Minigun firing at him. Bullets started hitting which cause him to disappear in thin-air. His team were all shocked to see him get killed. The player smile.
"What the."
Sinon stand's up from her position and start's running down while looking at direction of the player.
"That look on his face... Does that mean he's strong enough to smile on the battlefield? That guy... I'm going to kill him!" Sinon thought
*Somewhere else*
Dyne started shooting at a wall a player was behind. He detected something red while he was in first person.
"It's coming!" Dyne said
They all took covered as the Minigun started firing at them.
"Damn it... Don't let him get any closer!"
"G-Got it!"
The other team mates started firing at the player but he was behind a wall. Dyne looked around the place to hide.
"There's nowhere left to hide... Damn it!"
Dyne looked to see Sinon to see Sinon running toward's them.
"Sinon?"
Sinon saw two laser pointers pointing at her. They started firing at her. She dodge every bullet that was going toward's her. She than saw a big laser pointer pointing at her. She jump's over it as the Minigun started firing her. She hit's the ground right beside her team mates.
"Sinon!"
"Sinon!"
They run towards her.
"They... They hired a bodyguard." Dyne said
"A bodyguard?" Sinon said
"That guy with the Minigun. He's a macho guy named Behemoth."
"If we keep hiding, they'll wipe us all out. He should be running low on Minigun ammo. If we all attack at once, he may hesitate to go all-out. Jin and Miso will approach from the left. Dyne and I will go around from the right. Storm, you stay here and back us up." Sinon planning everything
"It's impossible."
"There's still three guys with blasters out there. If we head in, our defensive fields won't..."
"Blasters can't fire as fast as physical weapons. We can dodge half of them."
"It's impossible! If we run in, the Minigun will rip us apart. It's too bad, let's give up. I'd rather log out than give them a victory..."
"Logging out doesn't mean you'll escape."
"What? It's just a game... Don't take it so seriously! If we run in, we'll just die-"
"You're pathetic!' Sinon yelling at Dyne
"What?"
Sinon grab's Dyne's clothes.
"In the game, at least be brave enough to run toward the guns and die!" Sinon getting piss
Everyone was shaking.
"Just three seconds. Keep the Minigun occupied for three seconds, and i'll take him down."
"O-Okay."
"All right... We'll split up and attack from both sides."
"Right."
They all stood still quietly. Sinon started finger countdown to three seconds.
"Go."
Sinon and Dyne started running, Jin and Miso ran two while Storm stayed behind. The enemies started shooting at them. Two more appeared but Sinon shooting them.
"Dyne, back me up!"
Sinon dolphin dive's behind a wall and grab's her sniper and look's threw the scope. She pointed at the bodyguard's head. The player looked as Sinon pulled the trigger to him. The bullet broke his mask.
"What?.
The bodyguard pointed the Minigun on her. The bodyguard pulled the trigger as he started firing at her.
"How do you like that, huh?"
Sinon shoot's the bodyguard in the arm. The player look's to see that she wasen't there anymore, but hiding somewhere else. Sinon looked at Dyne to see him get shot. Dyne get's up while injury and look's at Sinon. Dyne started charging at them with a battle cried. They started shooting him.
"Damn it all!" Dyne cried
Dyne get's shot by the face as he disapper's in thin-air. Before he died, he threw a something at them.
"Got him."
The thing bounce off a wall and land next to them. It beep one more before it exploded on both of them. They both disapper in thin-air.
"Nice guts." Sinon said
"But... I need to move into Behemoth's blind spot somehow... "
Sinon look's up at the tower.
"He won't be able to pinpoint my location just yet."
Sinon started running inside and running up the stairs.
"He's strong enough to smile on the battlefield. I'll kill him. And I, too..."
Sinon started doing parkour trick's while running up the stairs.
*At The Top of the Tower*
Sinon pointed the sniper down and look's threw the scope. Sinon found the bodyguard and saw hime pointing the Minigun on her. Sinon jump's out the building as the bodyguard started shooting her. One of the bullet cut's off Sinon left leg and the rest of the bullets hit the building causeing a huge dust explosion. The bodyguard started laughing at her. He stop's laughing as soon he saw Sinon still alive. The bodyguard continues shooting at her. Sinon kept dodging every bullet. Sinon pointed the sniper at him. The bodyguard stop's shooting and look's at her flying down.
"The end." Sinon said
Sinon pull's the trigger as the bullest went threw the bodyguard's head. Sinon land's and roll's. The bodyguard exploded and disapper's in thin-air.
*At The Real World*
A girl started waking up while wearing a nervegear goggle's. She left her right hand up to feel like she was still using her sniper. The girl take's off the goggle's and put's it away. She cover's her eye's.
"Stronger... I have to be stronger..." The girl whisper's
*Inside A Different Game*
Three girls were battling a grass monster. One of them slice it. The monster's tentacles grab on the girl's leg's and brought up to the air.
"Silica!" One of the girl's said
The girl summon's her wing's.
"I'm not the person I used to be!"
The monster summon's it's own wing's as well. She started panicing.
"L-Leafa!"
"Leave it to me. Now!" Leafa said
Leafa slice's the tentacles freeing Silica.
"Liz!"
LiZ was flying down to the monster.
"Chest!"
Liz stab's her sword on the monster's brain. The monster disapper's in thin-air. Silica hit's the ground, A menu appear's in front of Liz and Leafa land's.
"Yay!"
Leafa and Liz both high-five.
"Okay, okay..."
"Did we get the materials?" Silica said
"I have most of what I need..." Liz said
"We can keep going." Leafa said
"Lizbeth's Smith Shop has helped us a lot... Don't worry about asking us." Leafa said
"Thanks. But... I think we've basically cleard the place out..." Liz said
"Let's take a break until they respawn." Leafa said
"Yeah." Liz and Silica both said
They heard a crunch. They all looked to see Kirito and Asuna sitting. But the two weren't alone. Sonic was there as well.
"They're sure in love..." Silica said
"It isn't fair!" Liz said
"Now, now..."
"Jeez! They can't keep their hands off each other at school or in ALO." Liz said
"Are they like that at school?" Leafa said
"They are."
The three of the sigh at the same time. They all looked at each other and started laughing.
Asuna look at them. Kirito and Sonic were both taking a nap on the grass. Yui appear's and land's on Asuna's hand.
"I missed brother so much." Yui whisper
"I missed him as well." Asuna said
Sonic and Kirito both woke up to see Alucard floating in the sky very far. They thought about the player Death Gun. They both sit up.
"Hey, Asuna... There's something we want to talk to you about." Kirito said
"It's very important." Sonic said
Asuna just looked at them.
To...Be...Continue...
"Next Time: Memories of Fresh Blood." Sonic and Kirito said as narrators
