Sword Art Online 2: Back To The Virtual World

Death Chaser

Death Gun take's our his black pistol read to shoot at Sinon. She look's at the gun. It has a star in the gun. Sinon get's shock.

"A Black Star Type 54... That gun... What... What is it doing here now?"

Sinon drop's her pistol. Death Gun point's the gun at Sinon ready to shoot her. She get's a vision of the man that she killed when little.

"The meaning if strength... The meaning of combat... I thought if I kept watching them, watching Kirito and Sonic.. that I'd understand it someday."

Death Gun put's his finger on the trigger.

"I don't want to give up!"

Death Gun slowly pull's the trigger as he shot her... Or did he. Sinon closes her eyes but soon notice that her HP didn't go down. She open's her eyes to see two bullets hit Death Gun in the arm. Two more bullets hit behind him. Death Gun soon's run's and hide's behind a lamp pose. Death Gun put's his Black Star gun away and take's out his Sniper. He knee's down and fire's but didn't hit nothing. Then, two grenades flew at him.

"Grenades?" Sinon said

Death Gun run's inside the building. The grenades weren't grenades but sm oke bombs. Someone grab's Sinon's hand and pick her up. Another person grab's her Sniper up. The other person carry's Sinon somewhere else. The other person followed. Sinon look's to see Kirito and Sonic.

"Kirito? Sonic?"

The two of them kept running. Kirito was breathing heavliy but he didn't gave up just yet. Sonic kept on following him without breathing heavliy nor sweating.

"That's enough. Leave me..."

All of a sudden, A bullet zoom's between Kirito and Sonic. The bullet hit's a sign. The sign fall's at the ground. They kept on running without looking back. Kirito soon notice a sign that say's. "Rent a Buggy&Horse." They ran to the place that had the Buggys and Horses. When they got there, They saw three buggys and one horse.

"The horse is no good. You can go off-road, but it's too hard to use."

Kirito carefully's put's Sinon on the buggy and put's the seat belt on her. Kirito put's his hand on the scan ready to use it. Kirito start's the engine but it didn't work the first time. He start's it again and it worked. He started driving the Buggy. Sonic ran the exact speed as the buggy. Sinon take's a breath but then Kirito stop's the buggy and Sonic stop's as well.

"Sinon, destroy that horse with your gun." Kirito said

"Huh?"

She look's behind to see the horse.

"Okay, I'll try."

Sinon point's the sniper at the horse. Sinon looked at it and was about to shoot it until... she stop's all of a sudden.

"Why? I can't do it. Why? I can't pull the trigger!"

Sinon soon notice Death Gun appearing and running toward's them.

"Sinon, hang on!"

Sinon get's a visom of the same man again. She gasp. Kirito start's the engine and start's driving away leaving Death Gun behind. Sonic was right beside them with the exact speed as the buggy.

"Can we escape?"

Kirito and Sonic both look back.

"Damn, Not yet... Stay sharp!"

Sinon look's behind to see Death Gun riding the Horse.

"Why? He'll catch us. Go faster! Go! Go!" Sinon begged

Kirito look's at Sonic.

"You go without us!" Kirito said

"Are you sure?" Sonic said

"Don't worry, will be ok. Now go!" Kirito said

"Got it!"

And so Sonic did as he started running faster leaving them behind. Sonic was soon gone and no where to be seen.

"Will he find us?" Sinon said

"Don't worry, the terminal will find his way." Kirito said

Death Gun was catching up toward's them. Death Gun take's out his pistol and point's it at them. He was pointing at Sinon's face. Sinon moved away and Death Gun pull's the trigger as the bullet go's toward's them. The bullet zoom's right pass them.

"No!" Sinon panic

Death Gun shot another bullet but hit's the back of the buggy.

"No... Save me! Save me!"

"Sinon, can you hear me? Sinon, at this rate, he'll catch us. Shoot him." Kirito said

"I can't!"

"You don't have to hit him. Just distract him!"

"I can't! He's... He's..."

"Then you drive! I'll fire that gun!" Kirito said

"Hecate... It's a part of me. No one can use it but me."

Sinon grab's her sniper and point's it at Death Gun. Her finger was shaking so much.

"I can't shoot. I can't... My finger won't move. I can't fight anymore."

"No, you can. Everyone can fight. It's just choice of whether you should!"

"If I have a choice, I choose not to fight. I don't want to suffer anymore. I thought I could be stronger in this world, but that was only an illusion."

Kirito grab's Sinon's hand.

"I'll shoot with you. So do it once... Just move your finger."

They both put there fingers on the trigger. Sinon couldn't still.

"I can't! It's shaking too much to hit him."

"It's okay. The shaking will stop in five seconds. In Two, one, now!"

The buggy jump's off a car and fly's up in the air.

"How can he stay calm in a situation like this? No, it isn't that he's calm... He's just giving it all he has. He's continually chosen to fight with all his strength instead of making excuses. That's the source of his and Sonic's strength."

They both pulled the trigger as the bullet started down toward's Death Gun. But it didn't hit Death Gun.

"I missed."

It instead hit's the truck. The truck started buring until it exploded with Death Gun as well. They landed on the ground and stop to look back. They see Death Gun disapper inside the fire.

*At The Desert*

The two of them were stop at the desert with no one else expect them. Kirito see's Sonic running toward's them. Sonic stop's right next to them.

"Where did you go?" Kirito said

"I just went to a diffrent part of the city. I also saw dark smoke at the sky. So I left to find you with the terminal." Sonic said

"At least your ok." Kirito said

Kirito look's around the desert.

"Jeez. It's so wide open, there's nothing to hide behind..." Kirito said

"There's probably a cave over there. If we go there, we can avoid the satellite scan." Sinon said

"Okay, let's go."

The three of them started going to the cave.

*At The Cave*

The three of them were at the cave hiding. Kirito and Sonic both stretch their bodys.

"For now, let's avoid the next scan here." Kirito said

Sinon walk's deeper to the cave and sit's down with her sniper.

"He just appeared next to you, right? Does he have the ability to make himself invisible? And is that why he didn't show up on the scan?" Kirito said

"I think so. It's an ability called Metamaterial Optic-Distortion Camouflage. We should be all right here. The ground is rough sand, so even if he's invisible, he'll still make sound as he moves, and we'll see his footsteps. He can't just appear right next to us like last time." Sinon said

"I understand. Then we need to keep our ears sharp." Kirito said

Kirito sit's little bit away from Sinon. Sonic was sitting on top of rocks just looking at the outside view.

"Hey, is there any chance he died in that last explosion?" Sinon said

"No, right before the truck blew, I saw him jump off his robot horse. I doubt he's unharmed, but I can't believe it killed him." Kirito said

"That didn't work. The truck that exploded?" Sonic said

"Yea." Kirito said

"I see. At the stadium, how were you two able to come to save me so quickly? You two were on the outer rim, right?" Sinon said

"We realized immediately that the Gunner X we were after wasn't Death Gun." Kirito said

"How?" Sinon said

"It was definitely a woman." Kirito said

"A badass woman. And a though player." Sonic said

"That's when we knew we missed something big. By the way, her real name isn't "Gunner X." It's "Musketeer X." We defeated Musketeer, amd we looked south from the stadium, and we saw you lying on the road. We thought you were in danger, so I borrowed her rifle and smoke grenades, and ran while shooting and throwing." Kirito said

"By the way, The second bullet that I shot at Death Gun was my pistol." Sonic said

"If only I'd been more alert..." Sinon said

"You don't need to blame yourself so much. We didn't realize he was hiding, either. If we'd changed positions, We would've been the ones hit with the tranquilizer. And then you would've saved us. Right?" Kirito said

"Wouldn't you?" Sonic said

"I'm being consoled by two people I thought were my rivals... They know I'm broken and weak. And they are trying to console me like a child." Sinon thought

"Anyway, we're going. You should stay here and rest a while longer. Honestly, I'd rather you logged out, but you can't do that during the tournament." Kirito said

Kirito and Sonic both open there menus and check on there status.

"You two are going to fight him... To fight Death Gun. Just the two of you?" Sinon said

"Yeah. He's strong. To be honest, it'll be tough to defeat him without his firing at least once. If he points that gun at me and Sonic, We might abandon you and run. So we can't drag you into this anymore." Kirito said

"I don't want anyone to die from Death Gun anymore." Sonic said

"Your both afraid of him, too."

"Yeah, we are. A while ago, We might've been able to fight him, even if it means we both die. But now there are a lot of things we have to protect. We can't die, and we don't want to." Kirito said

"It's not the time yet." Sonic said

"Things you want to protect?" Sinon said

"Yeah. In the virtual world and in the real one." Kirito said

"Then just stay in this cave and hide. During BoB, you can't log out on your own. But as soon as it's just us and another one, we can kill ourselves and let that person win. That'll end the tournament." Sinon said

"I get it. That's one option... But we can't do that. If we just wait for the tournament to end, there's no telling how many others he'll point that gun at." Kirito said

"Oh. You both are really strong. I won't run." Sinon whisper's

"Huh?" Kirito looking at Sinon

"I'll go outside and fight that man, too." Sinon said

"No, Sinon. If he shoots you, you could really die. Me and Sonic are a 100% melee type, but you aren't! He can turn invisible. If he gets close and surprises you, you're in far more danger than we are." Kirito said

"We can't let another one die." Sonic said

"I don't care if I die." Sinon said

Kirito and Sonic both gasp.

"Back there, I was so scared... I was so scared of dying. I was weaker than five years ago. Pathetic. Screaming. I'd rather die than live like that." Sinon said

"Of course you're scared... There's no one who isn't afraid to die." Kirito said

"And we mean nobody." Sonic said

"I don't want ti be scared. I'm tired of living in fear. I won't ask to come with you two. I can fight on my own!" Sinon said

Sinon get's up walk's away but Kirito grab's her.

"You'll fight alone, and you'll die alone. Is that what you're trying to say?" Kirito said

"Yeah. I think that's my fate." Sinon said

She try's moving her from Kirito and Sonic.

"Let me go. I have to go!" Sinon said

"You're wrong. No one dies alone. When someone dies, the part of them that lives inside someone else also dies. You already live inside me and Sonic." Kirito said

"That's impossible. I've never given myself to anyone else." Sinon said

"We're already involved with one another!" Kirito getting mad

Sinon grab's hold tight of Kirito's clothes.

"Then... Then... You protect me for the rest of my life!" Sinon crying

Tear's fell down ti the ground.

"You don't know anything! You can't do anything! Don't says that! This... This is my battle, and no one else's! Even if I lose, even if I die... No one has the right to blame me! Or will you carry that burden forever? Will you... Will you... hold the hands of a murderer?!" Sinon crying and getting angry.

"Murderer! Murderer! Murderer!" Little kids saying to her as she was little

"Murderer!"

"Murderer!"

"You murderer!"

"Don't touch me, murderer!"

"You'll get blood on me!"

"Murderer! Murderer!"

Little Sinon look's at her hand that were bloody. She then start's walking away.

Sinon was pounding on Kirito's chest crying. Sonic walk's toward's them. Sinon was crying more now. Kirito and Sonic were about grab her but she push there arms away.

"I hate you two! I hate you two so much!" Sinon crying

Sinon knee's down crying even more.

*Later*

Kirito and Sinon were sitting next too eachother. Sinon wasn't crying anymore. Sonic was sleeping outside the cave piecefully. His leg's were danggling in top of the cave.

"I hate you and Sonic, but... Let me lean against you for a while." Sinon said

Sinon lean's on Kirito.

"I... killed someone." Sinon whisper's

Kirito look's at her.

"Five years ago, there was a robbery at a post office in a small Tohoku town. The media said the robber died when his gun misfired. But actually, I was there, and I stole his gun. And I shot him to death." Sinon explaining everything

"Five years ago?" Kirito sakd

"I was eleven. Ever since then, whenever I see a gun, I throw up or pass out. Whenever I see a gun, I can see the face of the man I killed. And I get scared... So scared." Sinon said

"But..."

"Yeah. But in this world, I've been okay. So I thought... If I could be the strongest person in this world, I could be stronger in the real world. I could forget that memory... But back there, when Death Gun attacked me, I was scared. At some point, I stopped being Sinon. I was back to being the real me. I'm scared to die. But... But... Living im fear hurts just as much. If I run from Death Gun and those memories, without fighting, I'll beome even more weaker than I was. So... So..." Sinon scared

"I... I... killed someone, too. With Sonic." Kirito whisper's

Sinon's eye open widely.

"I told you before that me and Sonic knew Death Gun, that guy in the cape, from another game, right? The name of that game was Sword Art Online" Kirito said

"Then you and Sonic really are..." Sinon said

"Yeah. What they call a SAO survivor. So is Death Gun. He was a member of a murder guild named Laughing Coffin, a red player. A raid-sized party was formed to imprison them. Me and Sonic were both members of the guild." Kirito said

Kirito take's a breath.

"The informatiom was leaked, and we were ambushed instead. In the horrible chaos that followed, We killed two LC members with our own hands." Kirito said

Kirito take's another breath but longer.

"But we forced ourselfs to forget what we one. Until yesterday, when we met that man, Death Gun." Kirito said

"Then Death Gun was a member of thay guild you and Sonic fought, Laughing Coffin?" Sinon said

"Yeah. He has to be one of the ones who survived and was imprisoned. So... We have to finish things with him here, in this world." Kirito said

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