Sword Art Online 2: Back To The Virtual World

Bullet of Bullets And The Tournament

*Main Tournament Starts: 65 Minutes*

Kirito and Sonic both looked at the time of tournament.

"The day has finally come." Sonic said

*FlashBack*

"But whether you're a fake using their names ir the reak ones... Someday, I'll kill you two."

*End Of Flashback*

Kirito make's a fist. Kirito start's walking away.

"Hey, wait for me." Sonic said following him

Minutes later, They both stopped and looked up.

"After the second Bullet of Bullets, Death Gun showed up. Both times, the murders occurred where others could see them. Until then, he probably worked on leveling up his character, so he wouldn't stand out. I guess he isn't listed under "Death Gun." But BoB would be the best stage for him. I know he'll be there. I'll find the name of Death Gun's avatar, and I'll face him again."

They continue walking to their location.

*At The Governer General's Office*

*Main Tournament Starts: 36 Minutes*

"Hey, Sinon. Sinon." Kirito said

Sinom didn't respond to him.

"Sinon? Sinon-"

"Stop it! I already said hello. Do you want something else?" Sinon said

"W-Well, I thought that, before the tournament starts, we could maybe share information. I-I'd really appreciate it..." Kirito said

"*Sigh* Fine. I'm sure it'll just be me lecturing you and your blue friend, though." Sinon walking away

"Th-That wasn't my intention! Entirely..."

*At The Tournament-Qualifier Area*

Kirito and Sonic both enter the area. There were a lot of players sitting down and chatting.

*Main Tournament Starts: 32 Minutes*

"In the run up to the tournament, how do you feel?"

"I'll get behind him and use it to finish him."

"Wow."

"The main tournament is always like a big party." Sinon said

"Without Zexceed, this tournament could go to anyone! If you want to win, you need this, top-secret player information for just 1,000 credits!"

"Dark Wind, I'll bet it all on you."

"What are the odds on huuka?"

"Dyne, huh? His skills equipment are okay, but he never really stands out. He'll be lucky to place fifteenth. If you want thae dark horse, you'll want Richie."

Someone tap's the player on his shoulder. It was a player with a cowboy like clothes.

"Who never reall stands out?"

"I'm s-sorry!"

Sinon, Kirito, and Sonic all passed them.

"This won't be like last time."

One of the players look's at them.

"H-Hey, aren't those two Kirito and Sonic?"

"I heard they rip through there enemies with photon swords."

"A cool, beautiful berserker, huh?"

"No, Sinon's much better."

"I'd love to be shot by Sinocchi."

"Yeah. I'd rather get sliced up."

"Go play ALO, then."

Kirito and Sonic both looked back at them. Then, The two of them bump into someone.

"Sorry." Kirito said

"We didn't see you there." Sonic said

The players get scared.

"W-We're sorry, Kirito and Sonic!"

The two of them get confused but still walk. But then, They both stop and both turned around. The players get scared.

"You guys..."

They look at them with a angry face. The players get more scare.

"Cheer for me and my friend!" Kirito said all happy

All of them get shock.

"K-Kirito, S-Sonic, good luck!"

"I'll bet all my money on you two!"

The two of them were waving at them.

"What the hell are you two doing?" Sinon said looking at them

*Main Tournament Starts: 20 Minutes*

The three of them were sitting in a round table.

"So, in the main tournament, thirty players are randomly placed on the same map?"

A drink appear's from the table. Kirito and Sonic both got scared from it.

"You start shooting when you encounter someone, and the last man standing is the winner?"

"I knew it... You're trying to make me explain everything to you."

"Sinon take's a sip of her drink.

"Anyway, all of that was in the e-mail the admins sent you!"

"I d-did read it, but... I wanted to make sure I understood it."

"I guess it's all in how you say it."

Two drinks appear from the table.

"Basically, you're right. It's a battle royal on a single map with thirty players. Starting locations are random, but you'll be at least a thousand meters from every other player"

"O-One thousand meters? That means that map must be pretty big." Kirito said

"Did you really read the e-mail? The main tournament map is ten kilometers in diameter. It has mountains, forests, and deserts. The stage also starts in the afternoon, so no one has an advantage or disadvantage due to equipment or stat type."

"Can you even find anyone?"

"You're shooting at each other with guns, so it has to be that big. And participants automatically receive an item called a "satellite scan terminl."

"Satellite... Like a spy satellite or something?"

"Yeah. The idea is that a spy satellite passes over the stage once every fifteen minutes. Then it transmits the location information of each player on the map to the terminal."

"In other words, you can only hide in one place for fifteen minutes?"

"That's right."

"But wouldn't a rule like that put a sniper at a disadvantage?"

"Fifteen minutes is more than enough to fire one shot, kill one person, and move."

"O-Oh..."

"Okay, you're done for now? The next time I find you two..."

"W-Wait, wait-"

Kirito grab's Sinon before she could even leave.

"Is there still something else?"

He nod's.

"It's what I really wanted to talk about."

Sinon take's a breath and sit's back down.

"Um... This may seem strange, but how many of the players participating in BoB for the first time have names you don't recognize?" Kirito said

"Anyone?" Sonic said

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Sinon said

"Please... Tell me. It's important." Kirito begged

"Fine, Well, as long as it's only names, I don't mind telling you two. Other than a certain obnoxious energy sword user, only three are new players."

"Three? What are they called?" Kirito said

"Who are they?" Sonic said

The two of them looked at Sinon's menu.

*Jack Reacher, Pale Rider, Philnei, No-No, Setsugekka, Gunner X, Keith, Rikoko, XYZ, Masayo, Ten-Q, E.J., Cacamepos the Second, Colonel aliberty, Pancho, Sterben, Raiden*

"Gunner X" and "Pale Rider"? And... I guess it's pronounced "Sterben"?"

"One of these is Death Gun." Kirito thought

"It has to be one of them." Sonic thoughy

"What's with you two? You haven't explained any of this."

The two moved away from her. Sinon was tapping her finger waiting for an answer.

"I'm about to really get mad."

"No, well..."

"What? Is your plan to piss me off so I screw up in the main tournament?"

"No... No, that's not it. That isn't it..."

"Does it have anything to do with how you started acting weird in the qualifiers yesterday?"

Kirito look's at her.

"Yeah, it does. Yesterday, a playet from another VRMMO spoke to us. One of those names is probably his." Kirito said

"A friend?"

"No, an enemy. We tried to seriously kill him, and he tried to seriously kill us. But we can't even remember what he used to call himself."

"Kill you? An enemy? Were you two in a party, and got into a fight or something?"

"No..."

"Not at all..."

"We honestly tried to take each other's life. They... Their group... did something absolutely unforgivable. No way could we friends. We had to settle things with a sword. Imdom't regret that at all. But... For a long time, I've been avoiding taking responsibility for it. Up until now, I'd forced myself to forget. But I'm not allowed to run anymore. This time, I have to face it head-on... I'm sorry for saying such a weird thing. Forget it." Kirito said

"It's our problem so don't-" Sonic said

"You can still pull the trigger anyway?" Sinon said

"What?"

*FlashBack*

"If that bullet could also kill a player in the real world... And if you didn't shoot them, you or someone you loved would be killed... Could you still pull the trigger?" Kirito said

"Would you do that? Shoot them for that special someone you loved so much that was killed? And take someone's life that other people also care about?" Sonic said

*End Of Flashback*

"Kirito, Sonic, were you two one of the players in that game?"

They didn't responded.

"Sorry. I'm not supposed to ask that, am I?"

"No, It's okay." Kirito said

"No need to apologize." Sonic said

"Kirito... Sonic..."

"Huh?"

They just see her just looking at them.

"Sinon?"

"We need to head to the standby dome, or we won't have time to focus our minds or inspect our equipment."

"You're right."

The three start walking to the standby dome. They head inside to the elavator and put the number of the level they are going. The elavator door closes as the three of them started going up. They didn't talk for most of the way up.

"I understand that you two have your reasons for what you two are doing. But your promises with me are something different. I'm going to pay you two back for yesterday's final round. So... If you let someome else shoot you two, I won't forgive you."

"We understand. Will survive until we see you." Kirito said

"Thanks."

B20. The elevator finally stop. They finally made it to there level. The elevator door opened. The three of them finally walk out of the elevator.

"You battle junkies who love the smell of gun oil and gun smoke, are you ready? The deadline for your bets is almost over. Now, it's time to see who the thoughest player in the hardest VRMMO, GGO, is!"

The players started cheering. Sonic and Kirito were both watching it as well.

"MMO Stream will be showing live footage of the battle! Now, time for the countdown!"

"Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One."

*Bullet of Bullets 3 START!*

"Bullet of Bullets, start!"

Everyone started cheering.

*At The Battlefield*

Everyone was watching the stream tournament live. Two players were shooting eachother from the mountains. One at the bottom while the other on top. The player from the bottom was shooting at the player on top of the mountain. The player ran out of bullets and hid behind some rocks. The player on the top kept on shooting him. The player at the bottom took out a grenade and threw it at the player on the top. The player on the saw the grenade and started shooting it. The grenade exploded in mid-air.

Two other players were shooting at eachother the forest. One of the players slide's behind a tree and hide's behind it. He look's to check around but get's shot in the head. A box appear's on top of him.

*DEAD*

The player that killed the other look's behind to see another swinging and shooting at him. The player get's shot twice at his body. A menu box's appear's on top of him.

*DEAD*

In other location of the map. A player was looking around to find the opponent. Then, someone pointed a sniper was pointing at him. It was Sinon. Sinon saw the player walking around. While looking at him, she noticed two things with him. She pull's the trigger as the bullet hit's one of the thing.

"Bingo."

The player exploded as soon the bullet hit the grenades.

Everyone cheered for her.

"All right."

"Nice!"

"You got him, Sinocchi!"

Sinon run's somewhere. She hide's behind a tree. She grab's something from her pocket and turn's it on. It showed the whole and where the players are located.

"Twenty-one players are still alive..."

She tap's on her location and zoom's out. She click's on the others. Dyne and Pale Rider.

"Looks like Dyne is being chased. Richie's looking hit anyone who goes after him with a heavy machine gun. So he won't move. Dyne and Pale Rider would be the better choice."

A countdown appeared.

"Is he still alive?"

She was about to click on Kirito and Sonic's one but she didn't.

"I don't care what happens to those jerks!"

Before she turn's it off and put's it back away. She saw another person next to Kirito's one.

"Who is that?" Sinon said

Then, the person next to Kirito's location started running very fast. The person was running around the whole map in a circle. The person ran in every location that the other players were at.

"Is he running to every player so they can waste some bullets?" Sinon said

She then hear's a noise coming from the grass. She then stand's up and point's at the grass. She heard the noise coming very quickly. She pull's the trigger as the bullet start's flying to the grass. The bullet instead hit's the ground. Then, someone appear's from the grass. It was Sonic. Sonic ran pass Sinon very fast making dust fly everywhere. Sinon covered her face so dust won't go to her eyes. After the dust cleared off, She look's around to find Sonic but he was gone and no where to be found.

"He made me waste one of my bullets." Sinon said

She turn's off the map and start's running to another location.

*Somewhere Else*

In another location. A player was running threw the forest looking for someone.

"What is that guy?"

The player see's a road up ahead. He start's running faster to the road. Once he was far enough, he slide's and look's at the forest all laying down.

"Now, come on out. I'll pump you full of holes."

Then, A sniper was pointing at the player. It was Sinon.

"You should always chexk your six, Dyne." Sinon said

Before she can even pull the trigger. She heard a noise. She grab's her pistol and point's.

"Who's there?!"

Someone took the gun out of her hand and pushes her back to the rocks.

"Shhh!"

She look's to see Kirito on top her with Sonic behind them.

"Wait. We have a plan."

"In this situation, there aren't any plans or compromises! One of us dies... That's all! And thank's for wasting my bullet blue." Sinon said

"Your welcome." Sonic said

"Please... I don't want them to notice us."

"What do you mean?"

"I want to watch the battle on the bridge till the end. Until it ends, don't attack."

"Watch and do what?"

"That depends on what I see, but I'll leave this area. We won't attack you."

"I might shoot you from behind."

"If that's your choice, that's fine. Please understand. It's about to begin."

Kirito and Sonic both look.

"If we get a chance to start over, will you fight me for real?"

"Yeah."

The two of them move away from her. They both take out barnoculars and look at the bridge.

"You should be a bit more cautious." Sinon said

Sinon look's threw the scope.

"If he tries to move, I'll shoot him first."

"Fine. No, wait."

The three of them see someone walking toward's the player. The player had a shotgun on his hand and slowly walk's to the pkayer that was laying down.

"What?"

Dyne start's firing at the player. He dodge every bullet with no ace.

"Damn it!"

Dyne keep's firing at the player. But the player kept dodging them by moving around the bridge.

"He's strong... He limited the weight he carries in order to boost his 3D-movement ability."

The player was running toward's Dyne. Dyne kept on firing him but the player jump's to the other side.

"And his acrobatic skill is really high!"

The player land's and frontflips. Dyne keep's on shooting him. The player slides under all the bullets. He get's back up when Dyne bullets were wasted.

"Damn you!"

The player shoot's Dyne with a shotgun. The player grab's his thoart and shoot's his chest. Dyne was loosing a lot of health. The player reload's his shotgun.

"Crap!"

He point's the shotgun at Dyne's head. He fire's it threw his head. Dyne lay's on the ground not moving a inch. A menu box appear's on top of him.

*DEAD*

"If he had the time to swap magazines, he should have shot from the hip." Sinon said

"The pale guy's strong. Was he the one who wore the cape?"

*FlashBack*

"An enemy. We tried to seriously kill him, and he tried to seriously kill us."

*End Of FlashBack*

"Is he faster than me?" Sonic said

"I'm going to shoot him."

"Okay. But if he really is that man...

"You think he can dodge at this range?"

"You're kidding me."

They than see the player get shot in the chest. Sinon try's hearing something but nothing.

"I missed the gunshot?"

"No, I deinitely didn't hear it."

"Nor me."

"What's going on?"

"The only possibilities are a quiet laser rifle or, if it's a physical gun, a silencer... But he shouldn't be dead, so why isn't he moving?"

"It looked like he was shot from the forest."

"No. I think it was from farther than that. I just looked all the way to the end of the map, and no one's within a kilometer." Sinon said

"I see."

"Wait, Kirito... Where did you two came from?"

"We were following that Pale Rider. Oh, that's it."

"what?"

"Come to think of it, We were swimming in that river during the scan. We were underwater the whole time, so I guess the satellite couldn't find us."

"With those equipment? How?"

"We unequipped all our items and moved them to item storage, of course."

"Then if you're at the bottom of the river, the satellite scan can't pick you up, huh? I'll remember that. So when I something appear on the map. Was that you Sonic?" Sinon said

"Yea. I put shoes and gloves back on and Kirito told me to go to every location where every player is located to waste some of there bullets. So I did." Sonic said

"I see." Sinon said

"Sinon, his avatar has a strange light effect."

Sinon zoom's closer to the thing that hot Pale Rider.

"A stun bullet?"

"What?"

They look to see someone else at the bridge with red glowing eyes.

"Not again." Sonic said

"How long has he been there?"

The person show's them his weapon.

"Silent Assassin?!"

"Is that the name of that rifle?"

"Yeah... A high-level sniper rifle that comes equipped with a silencer. I'd heard rumors that it existed within GGO, but it's the first time I've seen one. If he can use a gun like that, who is he?"

The person walk toward's Dyne and Pale Rider. He take's out his pistol and point's at the bodys.

"He's going to finish him with the handgun?"

The person pray's.

"Sinon, fire..."

"At which one?"

"The one in the cape! Please shoot him! Quicly! Before he shoots!" Kirito yelled

"Hurry!" Sonic yelled out

To...Be...Continue...

"Next Time: Death Gun." Kirito and Sonic said as narrator
