Sword Art Online 2: Back To The Virtual World
Death Gun
*At ALO*
Asuna, Leafa, Lizbeth, Silica, and Klein we all watching the BoB tournament live stream.
"Brother and Sonic are not getting much screen time." Leafa said
"All the battles are broadcast, aren't they? Knowing Kirito and Sonic, I thought we'd be seeing them all the time." Silica said
"No... They may not seem like it, but they have the strategist and speed type. They might be hiding until there are fewer players left." Klein sakd
"Even Kirito and Sonic wouldn't do that... Right, Yui?" Asuna said
"That's right. Daddy and Brother would strike the enemy from behind so quickly, there'd be no time for them to show up on camera!" Yui said
"That sounds likely. And it's a gun game, but they'll still use a sword instead of a gun."
All of them giggle.
"They're strong..." Lizbeth said
"The pale guy?"
They all see Pale Rider shoot Dyne with his shotgun. Then, Pale Rider grab's Dyne throat and shoot's him in the stomach. Dyne was loosing a lot of HP. He hit's the ground. Pale Rider reload's his shotgun and point's it at Dyne's head.
"Damn it!"
Pale Rider fire's his shotgun at Dyne's head. Dyne was laying down on the ground not moving an inch. A menu appeared on top of him.
*DEAD*
"Amazing."
"Yeah."
"I'm sure they're likely to be the winner." Lizbeth said
They then see Pale Rider get shot at. All of them gasp.
"Hey, that's no fair!"
"He isn't out of it yet!"
They see that his hand arm is eletric.
"What's that?"
"Probably an attack that paralyzes the target for a specified time."
"It's like the wind magic spell Tunder Web."
The camera switch to the Pale Rider's first person view. They saw nothing for a while until they see a cloak. They all gasp. The camera look's at person with a cloak, black boots and a mask and glowing red eyes.
*Inside GGO*
The person take's out a pistol and point's it at the two bodys. The person was praying.
"Sinon, fire..."
"Huh? At which one?"
"The one in the cape! Please shoot him! Quickly! Before he shoots!"
"Hurry!"
Sinon point's the sniper at the person's head. She pull's the trigger as the bullet started flying toward's him. The person move's away from the on coming bullet. The player look's at them.
"No way. It can't be." Sonic whisper's
"He knew where I was."
"No way."
"He must've seen me somewhere, so the system recognized me."
Kirito and Sonic both look at there binoculars. They see the person point the pistol at Pale Rider. The person fire's at Pale Rider's chest making a loud band. Pale Rider lost some health... but not a lot. His hand started twitching. Then all of a sudden, Pale Rider get's up very fast. Pale Rider point's his shotgun at the person's face. But then, He drop's his shotgun then he fall's on the ground. He was grabbing his chest then he disapper's. A menu appeared in the air.
"DISCONNECTION*
"What was that?" Sinon said
*At ALO*
The five of them were all shock to see what happen to Pale Rider. The camera stare's at the person's face.
"My ture name, and the ture name of this gun, is Death Gun. Someday, I will appear before you. And I will bring you ture death with this gun. I have the power. Do not forget. It isn't over. Nothing is over. It's show time."
"I've met him somewhere. But where? No, it had to be there, inside Aincard." Asuna thought
Klein drop's his drink to the ground. The glass break's.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"No way... He can't be..." Klein said
"You know who he is?" Asuna said
"No, I can't remember his old name. But i'm sure of it. That's an LC member." Klein said
They all gasp.
"Laughing Coffin..."
"Is he the knife-user who was their leader?"
"No, it wasn't PoH. He talks and acts totally different. But what he just said, "It's show time." That was PoH's catchphrase. It's probably someone close to him, one of the high-ranking players." Klein said
"Kirito... Sonic..." Asuna whisper's
*Back At GGO*
The three of them were still standing at the same spot looking at the player.
"I'm certain of it. He's Death Gun." Kirito said
"Death Gun? You mean the one from that weird rumor about players that he shoots not logging in?" Sinon said
"Yeah. He's actually capable of killing players through some method." Kirkro said
"No way."
"Two people are already dead in real life."
They see the person walking away. He never came back.
"He isn't coming back out."
A timer started ringing. Sinon look's to see her time was up. She get's up.
"Kirito and Sonic, you two watch the bridge. I'll use this to check his name."
"Okay."
"You got it."
Sinon walk's away from them and turn's on the map. She click's of her's, Kirito and Sonic's location. She then click's on the one that was on bridge. But it said Dyne.
"He isn't here. He moved during this short time? No..." Sinon thought
"This is our chance."
"Our chance?"
"The guy in the cape doesn't appear on my terminal. He's gone underwater like you two did. Which means that all his weapons are unequipped."
"You can still move underwater with a single handgun, right?"
"Even if so, I can beat a guy with a lone handgun-"
"No! You just saw his black handgun kill Pale Rider. One shot, and you could really die!" Kirito said
"Is not worth it!" Sonic said
"I don't want to accept that there's a player who's actually killing people in real life..."
"But there is. That player in the cape, Death Gun, killed lots of people in the VRMMO me and Sonic were once part of. He swung his sword, knowing people would die, And We, too..."
"Someone like that is really playing GGO?"
Sinon get's a flashback of the tragic event that happen when she was little.
"Sinon! Sinon!"
"Wake up!'
She wake's up all shock.
"I'm fine. Just a little surprised. To be homest, it'll take some time for me to believe your story. But I don't think it's something you made up."
"Thanks. That's plenty."
"Anyway, we need to get out of here."
She turn's off terminal.
"The other players will think we're fighting and come to kill us three."
"You're right. The let's split up here."
"What will you do?"
"Me and Sonic will follow Death Gun. Sinon, try to stay as far from him as possible."
"But..."
"I'll keep my promise. Next time we fight, Will go with all we have. Back there, thanks for listening, instead of shooting us."
"Huh?"
"Let's go Sonic."
"You got it."
The two jump off the mountain.
"Hey! Jeez..."
She see's them running away.
"Wait!"
They look behind to see that was already there with them.
"I'm going, too. That Death Gun's pretty strong. If you lose to him, you can't fight me." Sinon said
"Well..."
"I don't like it, but it'll be safer to work together temporarily, and knock him out of the running."
"No. He'a really dangerous." Kirito said
"We don't want any more people to die." Sonic said
"We don't know where he went, so isn'it it dangerous whether I stay with you or not?"
Kirito look's at her and nod's. All of sudden, Kirito and Sonic both took out there beam swords and turn it on. Sinon move's away from them. There were lots of laser pointers pointing at them. The player started firing. Kirito and Sonic started deflecting all of the bullets. One of the bullets was about to hit Sinon's face until they both deflected it.
"No way!"
"We'll start with him. Will charge. You back us up." Kirito said
"Got it." Sinon said
Sinon lay's down on the ground and point's her sniper at the player.
"Roger."
The player kept on firing at them. Kirito and Sonic kept on deflecting the bullets with badass skills. Sinon was shock to see both of them deflecting a lot of bullets.
"Now, Sinon!"
"Do it!"
Sinon pull's the trigger as the bullet was going toward's the player. The bullet hit's the player's stomach. It also knocked him back.
"No way..."
Half of his body disappered expect for bottom part. A box appeared on top of it.
*DEAD*
She get's back up and take's a breath. Kirito amd Sonic both turn off there swords and put them away. They continue walking like nothing ever happened.
*Later*
"Death Gun should have gone north along the river. We want to stop him before there are more victims. Give is some ideas, Sinon." Kirito said
They stop walking.
"Uh. Evem if he has that weird power, he's still basically a sniper. That outs him at a disadvantage in open spaces with few places to hide."
Sinon point's at the city.
"I think he's headed into that abandoned city."
"Okay, we'll make for the city."
"All right."
They start making there way to the abandoned city.
*Back At ALO*
All of them were all shock that happen in the live stream.
"In SAO, there was an unwritten rule to never let someone's HP reach zero, no matter what happened, Because if that happened, you'd reallt die. But LC killed dozens... No, hundreds of players. In the end, the lead group took them out. We formed a team and tried to capture them." Klein said
"Then my brother..." Leafa said
"And Sonic..." Asuna said
"Yeah, They probably fought on the front lines. It was awful."
"They been acting weird since last night. Maybe they are trying to settle this once and for all."
"W-Wait a second. Wasn't it a part-time job?" Lizbeth said
"I'm logging out. I'm going to contact Kirito's employer." Asuna said
"Employer?" Silica said
"The one who sent him and Sonic to GGO must know something. And Yui, While I'm logged out, can you search for information on GGO?"
"Roger, Mommy." Yui said
"Okay, everyone. Wait just a bit."
Asuna open's up her menu. Go's to option's and presses the log out button. She log's of pf the game.
*Back At GGO*
The three of them were running towards the city as fast as they can. Sonic was far away from Kirito and Sinon. They were far behind him. They soon make it to the city.
"We didn't catch up to Death Gun. Did we pass him somewhere?"
"No, no way... The whole time we ram, I watched the water."
"I see... Then he must be somewhere in the city already. The river ends there."
"Okay. So we'll wait for the next scan to identify his location, and take him out before he shoots someone else."
"That's fine, but there's a problem. You forgotten that "Death Gun" isn't his character name, have you?"
"O-Oh, yeah... There were three new players you didn't know, right? Pale Rider wasn't Death Gun. Which means it's one of the other two, Gunner X or Sterben."
"If they're both in the city, we don't have time to wait. Listen, I just had an idea... "Gunner" is like the "Gun" of "Death Gun." And the "X" is like the cross gesture he made. Or is that too obvious?"
"Well... Character names are usually obvious. Ours just our real name rearranged. Expect for Sonic. What about yours?"
"Same here."
They look at eachother.
"Okay. If both of them are there, we go after Gunner X. Even if I get paralyzed like Pale Rider, don't panic. Just get into sniping position. Death Gun will come out to finish me and Sonic with his black gun. Fire then."
"I might aim at you two."
"I already know you won't aim at me. Now, it's time. I'm counting on you, partner."
The two of them enter the city. Sinon just see them enter the city. She shake's her head.
"This is the only time I'm helping you two, okay?"
She start's following them.
*15 Minutes Later*
The three of them were looking at the watch. It started ringing. Sinon turn's on the terminal.
"Kirito, you check from the north."
Kirito started tapping on every players location. He soon find's Gunner X name.
"There he is!"
"Right now, only Gunner X is in the city."
"Yeah, there's no sign of Sterben. In other words, Gunner X is Death Gun. He's probably after this guy."
"We need to stop him before Rikoko is in firing range."
"Yeah. Back us up."
"Roger."
Sinon lead's the way as Kirito and Sonic both follow her. They hid behind cars and buildings so they can't get notice. After all the hiding, they all make it to the location. Sinon turn's on her detected mode on. She was looking everywhere until she spotted a gun behind a wall.
"There he is. Over there." Sinon whisper's
"Seems like he's waiting for Rikoko. Okay. While there's still, Me and Sonic will hit from behind. Sinon you get into position in the building in front of the stadium." Kirito said
"I was going to go with you..."
"We can fight without fear because you're backing us up. That's what a partner does, right?"
She nod's. He nod's back.
"I'll begin my attack thirty seconds after we split from you. Is that enough time?"
"Yeah, it's plenty."
"Okay, thanks. Come on Sonic."
The two of them start running. Sinon look's at them while they ran. Sinon then ran to another direction of the city. She then stop's and catch a breath from running everywhere.
"If I defeat Death Gun, They'll go back to being my enemys. I'll shoot them, defeat them... And forget them. I'll never see them again."
Before she can run. She get's shot in the shoulder and fall's down to the ground knocking her out. Minutes later, She slowly wake's up.
"What?"
She look's to see that was shot. Her body was electrifying.
"Who's there? Death Gun is in the stadium."
She then see's the same person that she saw back at the bridge. The person walk's toward's Sinon.
"Kirito and Sonic, this will tell me if you're real or a fake. I remember your raging anger back then. If I kill this woman and you go mad the same way you did then, you're real."
"Kill me? Me?"
"Now, show me your rage, Kirito. Your desire to kill. Your mad blade. Show me once again."
The person does the cross gesture. A camera was right behind him. Sinon tried to grab her pistol from her pocket. Death Gun take's out his pistol. She then she's the logo of the gun. She was shock.
"A Black Star Type 54. That gun... What... What is it doing here now?"
She drop's her pistol. Death Gun point's the gun at her. She get's a vision of the guy she shot when she was little.
"No..."
