Sword Art Online: Back To ALO
The King Of The Giants
*Let's continue where we left off*
All of them walked towards the door of the entarnce of the dungeon. It was a big door.
"We made it." Sonic said
Kirito look's at Yui all down.
"Yui, what's wrong?" Kirito said
"Well, this is just a hypothesis... But in one respect, ALfheim Online differs greatly from the other The Seed Project VRMMOs. The Cardinal System operating the game is not a stripped-down version. It's a copy of the full-spec version used in the former Sword Art Online." Yui said
"Full-spec version?" Kirito said
"What does that mean?" Sonic said
"The original Cardinal System had an auto-generation system for quest. Via its networks, it gathered traditions and legend from all over the world, and used or rearranged terms and story patterns from them to generate infinite quests." Yui said
"Then, is this quest an auto-generated one that Cardinal made?" Kirito said
"From the way that NPC was acting, it's likely. Which means that, depending on how the story plays out, it could go all the way to the myth's end. According to the data in my archives, this quest and ALO itself are based on Norse mythology, which culminates in a so-called "final war." Not only will the frost giants invade from Nifiheim or Jötunheimr, but flame giants from an even lower level, Muspelheim, will appear, and burn down the entire World Tree..." Yui said
"Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods. No way. There's no way a game system would destroy its entire map." Leafa said
"An original Cardinal System. has the access level necessary to destory an entire map. Because the original Cardinal System's last task was to destory the floating castle, Aincard." Yui said
"No..." Leafa said
"My shop..." Lizbeth said
"I haven't met the person I'm fated for yet." Klein said
"Even if this Ragnarok occurs, wouldn't it be possible to restore the system to an earlier state via backup?" Sinon said
"No, If they use the Cardinal System's auto-backups, the'll only be able to roll back player data, not field data." Yui said
They all sigh.
"I know!" Klein said
They all look at him. He open's his menu to call someone but he couldn't
"No good..." Klein said
"What are you trying to do?" Lizbeth said
"I was going to call a GM, and see if they knew this was going on. But it's outside their support hours." Klein said
"Well, it's a Sunday morning, and nearly New Year's." Kirito said
"Brother... There isn't much time." Leafa showing the stone to Kirito
"Okay. Let's just hurry to the last level." Kirito said
"Yeah!"
*Inside The Dungeon*
All of them were fighting a Golden Minotaurus. The Minotaurus tried to attack but they blocked it. Sonic homing attack's the Minotaurus in head which drop him at the ground. He bounces off the head and land's on the ground.
"Nice attack Sonic. Now let's do this!" Kirito said
"Got it!" Sonic said
Then, Kirito, Sonic and Leafa were all charging at him. Sonic slashes the Minotaurus in the front. Leafa slashes him in the back while Sonic slashes him in the head. They moved away from him. Kirito look's to see the attacks bearly made any damage.
"Damn it." Kirito said
"Not enough damage." Sonic said
Sinon point's her arrow to the Black Minotaurus. She fired her bow at him. The arrow was going toward's the Black Minotaurus until the golden one block it and hit's it's hadn instead. She snap's it and roars.
"This is bad, Brother! The yellow one's physical rsistance it too high!" Leafa said
"Yeah." Kirito said
"Damn it. If only we had a mage in our party who could use attacks spells..." Klein said
"You, of all people, are saying that? Anyway, that would just mean the black one with high-magic resistance would go to the front. This is really tough to deal with." Lizbeth said
"Shock-wave attack in two seconds! One! Zero!" Yui said
The golden Minotaurus raises his axe and slam's it at the ground causeing a shockwave. Kirito, Leafa, Silica, Klein, Lizbeth and Klein all got blown away from the shockwave. Sonic was behind the golden Minotaurus.
"You guys!" Sonic yelled
The Golden Minotaurus look's behind him to see Sonic. The Minotaurus roar's right at him.
"Su Filah Heiragul AustI Blot Suparl Bani." Asuna doing a spell
The golden Minotaurus turn's around. Asuna was healing them all. The Minotaurus was running toward's them.
"Kirito!" Asuna yelled
"Hold up!" Sonic said running toward's Kirito
The Minotaurus try's to attack Kirito but he block's it. Sonic helped him as well.
"At this pace, I'll run out of MP in 150 seconds." Asuna said
"Right." Kirito said
"Brother, Sonic, the medallion's over seventy-percent black. If we die, we won't have time to come back." Leafa said
"R-Right... Everyone, there's only thing we can do now! You'll ne vulnerable attack, but if you do a magic-type Sword Skill, it might be able to damage the yellow one!" Kirito said
They both knocked him back.
"We'll have to take the chance, and concentrate all our Sword Skills on the yellow one, to defeat it." Kirito said
"Okay! I've been waiting for you to say that, Kirito." Klein said
All of them got there weapons ready.
"Silica, time your bubbles to the countdown." Kirito said
"Okay!" Silica said
The Minotaururs roars.
"Two... One... Now!" Kirito said
"Pina, Bubble Breath!" Silica commaned
Pina started ahooting bubbles at the Minotaurus. The bubbles all popped as the Minotaurus started getting dizzy.
"Go!" Kirito said
All of them started running towards the Minotaurus. They all charged up there weapons. Klein jump's and slashes the Minotaurus in his head. Leafa slashes him in the side. Lizbeth stab's him in the knee. Silica stab's him in the head as well. Sinon fire's her arrow as it hit the Minotaurus face. Kirito and Sonic were both running at him with battle crys.. They both slash him threw his stomach. They then slash him straight up his body and back down. The Minotaurus HP changed to yellow-ish.
"Kirito! Sonic! I'm frozen." Klein said getting frozen
"Here." Kirito said
"Give it all you got." Sonic said
They both charge there second swords. They both ran up to him and blth slash the Minotaurus threw his stomach. They then push there swords inside him. Then, they slash him up. They both charge there other swords. The others were running towards them. Kirito and Sonic both slash him four times each. Klein run's pass them and slices threw the Minotaurus. The Minotaurus exploded. Leafa slashes threw his stomach. Silica run's toward's the Minotaurus and slashes him around his face. Lizbeth come's down from the air and slam's her hammer like weapon on the Minotarurus head. Sinon run's toward's him. She jump's around him and land's on his head. She point's the arrow at his head and shoot's it. The arrow cause icebergs to appear around him. Kirito and Sonic both run up to him and stab him threw his stomach. He swords cause an explosive to him. The Minotaurus HP changed from yellow-ish to red. But the attacks didn't kill him because he a tiny amount of it. The Minotarurus raised his axe ready to attack Kirito and Sonic. Then, Asuna jump's toward's him and quick attacks him. She spin's around and stab's the Minotarturus threw his stomach. The Minotaurus went all the way down. The Black Minotaurus get's up and grab's his axe. He rasied it up. The golden Minotaurus disapper's in thin-air. The Black Minotarturus look's at them.
"What's wrong? Get ready for your beat down." Klein said
All of them all slash him with just a few attacks. The Black Minotaurus roar's as it disapper's in mid-air.
*CONGRATULATIONS*
"We did it!" All of them yelled
They put there weapons away. Kirito and Sonic both high-fived eachother.
"Nice spin attaxk you did." Kirito said
"It was nothing." Sonic said
"Anyway, what was that?" Klein said
"Do we have to say?" Kirito said
"Of course! I've never seen that before." Klein said
"It's a non-system skill, a Skill Connect." Kirito said
"Skill Connect?" Klein said
"You remember how the last update brought Sword Skills into ALO? But that didn't include unique skills, such as dual-wielding or Holy Sword." Kirito said
"But you two used both hands." Klein said
"That wasn't dual-wielding." Kirito said
"Huh?"
"We used one-handed Sword Skills, in succession, with each hand. You can only do them without delay three or four times, if you're lucky, though." Kirito said
"Which we did." Sonic said
"Now I have an incredible sense of dèjà vu." Asuna said
*FlashBack*
"Anyway, what was that?" Klein said
"Do we have to say?" Kirito said
"Of course! I've never seen that before." Klein said
"*sigh* An extra skill. Dual-wielding." Kirito said
*End Of Flashback*
"You're imagining it. Anyway, we don't have time to waste. Leafa, how much time do we have left?" Kirito said
"At this rate it's going, about an hour." Leafa said
"I see. Yui, this dungeon has a total of four floors, right?" Kirito said
"Yes. The third floor is only seventy percent the size of the second. The fourth is basically just a boss room." Yui said
"Assuming it takes thirty miniutes to beat the last boss, we need to reach the boss room in thirty minutes." Kirito said
"I guess... Or our only choice is to find the King of the Giants, and kick his butt!" Lizbeth said
Lizbeth hit's Kirito so hard that he fell back. He get's back up.
"Okay, once everyone's HP and MP are back to full, we'll clean out the third floor!" Kirito said
"Yeah!"
*At The Next Floor*
The nine of them were fighting off a ant human like monster. They monster slam's the ground with it's sword making a shockwave. All of them jumped away from the monster. Sonic run's up to it and homing attack's toward's the monster's head. The monster look's at Sonic and attack's him but Sonic dodges it and attack's the monster's head. The monster lost some damage and it has a hair amount of HP. Sonic jump's next to the others.
"I think that should do enough damage." Sonic said
Silica's wistle's at the monster. The monster look's to Silica flying down at it. Silica than slashes the monster. Silica cut's threw the monster, The monster roar's.
"Now Kirito and Sonic!" Silica said
The two of them jumped and cuts threw the monster. The monster roar's as it disapper's in mid-air.
"Right, all that's left is the last boss!" Kirito said
So all of them start running inside the door for the next floor. While running they spotted something. They ran up to it to see a girl all trap inside a trap ice cage.
"Who is that?" Sonic said
"I don't know." Kirito said
Klein start's blushing. The girl inside the cage look's at them.
"Please... Let me out." The girl said
Klein was walking toward's her. Kirito and Sonic both grabbed him without looking at him.
"It's a trap." Kirito said
"It's a trap." Sonic said
"That's a trap." Lizbeth said
"Definitely a trap." Sinon said
"Y-Yeah, it's a trap, isn't it? Maybe..." Klein said
"Well, Yui?" Kirito said
"Give us info." Sonic said
"It's an NPC. It's connected to the language-engine module, just like Urd. But there's one difference. She has an HP gauge." Yui said
"If she has HP, that means we might have to fight her." Kirito said
"It's a trap." Asuna said
"It's a trap, right?" Silica said
"I think it's a trap." Leafa said
"Of course, it might not be, but we don't have time to waste. We need to get to Thrym as soon as possible." Kirito said
"Y-Yeah... You're right, yeah." Klein said
They then run pass her.
"Please... Someone... Please!" The girl said
Before they could run more further. Klein stop's running. The others stopped as well and looked at him.
"It's a trap, yeah. I know. But even if it's a trap... Even if I know it's a trap... Even if it's a trap, I can't leave her here! Even... Even if the quest fails because of that, and Arun is destroyed, saving her here is sometimg I have to do! It's my bushido!" Klein said
Klein start's running back.
"I'm coming for you!" Klein yelled
Klein took out his sword and slashes the ice cage. The ice bars broke and disapper's in mid-air. Klein knee's down.
"Than you, fairy swordsman." The girl said
"Can you stand? Are you hurt?" Klein said
Kirito, Asuna, Sonic, Lizbeth, Silica and Sinon all had straight faces expression.
"Yes, I'm fine." The girl said
The girl try's to get up but she couldn't as the chain's stopped her from getting up.
"It's a bit of a ways to the exit. Can you get there yourself?" Klein said
"I cannot simply flee the castle. Not until I retrieve mu family's treasure, which Thrym, the King of the Giants, stole. Please take me to Thrym's room." The girl said
"This is kind of suspicious, isn't it?" Asuna whisper's
"Yeah." Kirito whisper's
"Totally agree as well." Sonic whisper's
"Hey, Kirito and Sonic..." Klein said
"Jeez... Fine, fine. We just have to follow the route to the end. And we don't know with one-hundred-percent certainty that it's a trap." Kirito said
Klein get's all happy. They just kept staring at him.
"Okay! We'll do it! Fate brought us together, so we're in this together. Let's go beat up that jerk Thrym!" Klein said
"I'm almost don't want Klein to come with us." Sonic whisper's
"Yea me too, but we can't just leave him." Kirito whisper's
"Thank you, swordsman!" The girl hugging Klein
The girl breast were touching him. Klein blushes a little.
"Don't give Yui any weird ideas." Kirito said
A menu appear's in front of Kirito.
*An NPC wishes to join your party. Will you accept?*
Kirito accpect's it. The NPC joined their party.
"Freyja... Her MP is really high. A mage type?" Kirito whisper's
"My name is Klein." Klein greeting himself to Freyja
Kirito look's at the stonr to see it was truning black.
"From the way the dungeon is laid out, once we go down those stairs, we'll be at the last boss's room. He'll probably be tougher than the other bosses, but we'll just have to skip the fancy stuff, and hit him as hard as we can. For the first part, Sonic and I want to defend until we know his attack pattern. I'll tell you when to counterattack. When the boss's HP bar turns yellow, and when it turns red, the attack patterns will change, so be careful. This is the last battle, Let's give it all we've got!" Kirito said
"Yeah!"
*At The Bottom*
The ten of them all made it down the stairs. They then walk up to the door which opened by itself. Smoke can out from the room.
"Sea Phila Skina Hagl. Hoggu Margel llt!" Asuna doing her magic spell
"Ord Naza Fyol Legin Tinaga Vilindol Yottsun." Freyja doing her magic spell as well
Freyja gave more HP to all of them. Asuna gave them more defense.
"I've never seen a spell that increases your max HP!" Silica said
They all walk inside the room. It was all foggy. When the fog was gone it was dark and lots lf gold everywhere.
"How many Yuld do you think this is worth?" Lizbeth said
Klein check's out how much Yule was there.
"A fly is buzzing about." Someone said
They all look.
"I can hear its irritating buzzing. Let me see."
The thing was coming out of the dark.
"I'll crush it befoe it causes any trouble."
A giant human appear's in front of them. They all look up all shock expect Sonic.
"I seen bigger and more dangerous. So this isn't new to me." Sonic thought
"So Urd had sent the little flies of ALfheim all the way down here? I'll make you an offer, tiny ones. Tell me where she is, and you can have as much gold from this room as you can take." The giant said
"A samurai doesn't eat. He just laughs! I won't take up you up on a cheap offer like that." Klein said
All of them took out their weapons. The giant look's at them and see's Freyja.
"Oh, if it isn't Freyja? If you've left your cage, does that mean you've decided to become my wife? *giggle*" The giant said
"Wife?!" Klein said
"That's correct. She came here to marry me. But the night before the feast, she was sneaking around my treasure vaults. To punish her, I locked her in a cage of ice. *giggle*" The giant said
"Hey, Brother... I think I read about this in a book. Thrym and Freyja, a stolen treasure... It was, um... I think..." Leafa whisper's
"I refuse to become your wife! These swordsmem and I shall defeat you, and that back what was stolen!" Freyja said
"Such brave word. One can see why the legends of Freyja's beauty and bravery are known to the ends of the world. But the more noble the flower, the more fun it is to pluck. After I've crushed these flies, I'll give you lots of attention." The giant laughing
"You bastard! I won't let you! I won't let you lay a finger on Freyja!" Klein said
"I hear the sound of buzzing wings. To celebrate all of Jötunheimr becoming mine, I will start by crushing you." The Giant said
The whole room was now bright. The HP gauge appered next to the giant and the name of the boss appeared.
*Thrym*
"He's coming! Listen carefully to what Yui says, and begin the fight by dodging!" Kirito said
"I'll start by crushing blue first." Thrym said looking a Sonic
"Bring it. Show me what you got." Sonic said looking up not even scared
Thrym make's a fist ready to attack Sonic. Thrym start's bringing his fist down toward's Sonic.
"SONIC!" Everyone yelled
To...Be...Continue...
