Sword Art Online 2: Back To ALO
Zekken
*Let's Continue Where We Left Off*
Asuna was using her map to find the location? The location was at floor 24.
"Zekken appears on the small island on floor 24, at 3:00, right?" Asuna said
"Yeah." Lizbeth said
"So we can meet here at 2:30, right?" Asuna said
"Okay!"
"Roger!"
"Got it. I can't wait!" Silica said
"Yeah!" Leafa said
"Maybe everyone will start talking about the Berserk Healer again!" Lizbeth said
Asuna look's at Kirito talking with Yui.
"Daddy, you've got something on your face." Yui said
"Ah, seriously?" Kirito said
"Your fave is full of soot!" Yui said
"What?" Kirito said
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Asuna said
"See you tomorrow!" They all said
Asuna click's the log out button. She presses yes and log's off
*At The Real World, Asuna's House*
Asuna slowly woked up and get's up. She turn's on the light's as the current window's closed by them self. Asuna was cold because it was cold in her room. She get's up and slowly walk's up to her closet. The cloest door open's up by itself. She take's a breath. She take's out one of her clothes and start's changing.
*Outside Her Room*
Asuna walked down the stairs with her new clothes on. She look's to see someone walking out of the door.
"Goodnight, Sada." Asuna said
Sada look's to see Asuna.
"Thanks for coming every day. Sorry to keep you here so late." Asuna said
"Not at all, miss. This is my job." Sada said
"Are my mother and brother already back?" Asuna said
"Kouichirou will be out late. Your mother is in the dining room." Sada said
"I see. Thanks. Sorry to keep you." Asuna said
Sada walk's out of the house as she left back home. Asuna start's walking to the dining room.
*At The Dining Room*
Asuna walk's up toward's the dining room door. She slowly open's it and walk's inside. She closes the door behind her.
"You're late. Make sure you're at the table five minutes early." Her mother said
"I'm sorry." Asuna said
Asuna sit's on a table on the other side of the table. Her mother start's put her napking on her clothes.
"Thanks for the food..." Asuna said
The two of them start eating dinner. It started raining outside.
"Were you using that machine again?" Her mother said
"Yes, I'd promised to do mu homework with everyone." Asuna said
"You nees to move your own hands when you do it, or you won't learn anything." Her mother said
"Everyone lives far away. I can meet them easily there." Asuna said
"If you're using that machine, you're not really meeting them. And you should do your homework alone. If you do it with others, you'll just end up playing around." Her mother said
Her mother take's a sip of her drink.
"Listen... You don'y have time to play. You're two years behind the other children. To make up for it, you have to study two years harder." Her mother said
"I am studying! I printed out my second-quarter report card, and put it on your desk." Asuna said
"I saw it. But a report card from a school like that means nothing." Her mother said
"A school like that..." Asuna said
"Listen, Asuna. For third quarter, I'm hiring you a tutor, in addition to your schooling. Not an internet teacher, as is popular these days. I'll have them come to the house." Her mother serious
"W-Wait, this is so sudden..." Asuna said
"Look at this." Her mother giving the tablet to her
Asuna look's at it.
*Entry Exam Introduction*
"What is this Entry Exam Introduction for?" Asuna said
"For your third year, I managed to convince a friend of mine to let you take the entrance exam for the high school he runs. A real school, not that makeshift one they put together. It uses a credit system, so you'll be able to graduate in the first half of the year. Then you can start college in September." Her mother said
"W-Wait! You can't just decide that... I like my school! There are lots of good teachers. And I can study there! I don't need to go to another school!" Asuna said
"*Sigh* I did my research. The school you're attending is barely worthy of the name. The curriculum is sloppy. The classes are easy. The teachers are a bunch of nobodies, with no real experience." Her mother said
"Y-You don't have to put it lile that..." Asuna said
"They claim it takes care of the students whose education was delayed because of the accident, but they really want all the children who spent two years killing each other in one place, so they can monitor them. It's practically a prison." Her mother said
"I'm one of those "children who spent two years killing each other," Mom." Asuna said
"All of your friends are taking entrance exams this year. Doesn't that bother you a little?" Her mother said
"It doesn't matter if it takes me another year or two to get into college. And I don't necessarily have to attend college." Asuna said
"You do! You have talent. You do know all your father and I have done to nurture it, right?" Her mother said
"It's up to an individual to decide how they'll live, isn't it? Right now, I don't have the answer, but I think I'm about to find what I really want to do! I want to keep going to this school for another year, so I can find it!" Asuna said
"No matter how many years you're there, it won't give you any more options. Listen, Asuna. Your mother doesn't want you to lead a miserable life. I want you to have a career you can be proud of, no matter to whom you're speaking."
"My career? Then who was that man you made me meet over New Year's in Kyoto? He was talking like I was already engaged to him. You're the one who's limiting my options!" Asuna said
"Marriage is part of your career. If you marry someone poor, you'll regret it. You won't be able to do whatever it is that's so important to you. But with Yuuya, you won't have to worry. A countryside back, run by a single family, is much more stable than a mega-bank with many factions" Her mother said
"You didn't feel bad for any of it, did you? The man who causes so much misery for so many, who caused that whole incident, and who almost bankrupted RCT was Sugou Nobuyuki, the man you chose." Asuna said
"Stop it! I don't want to hear about him. It was your father who like him and wantes you to marry him. He's never had a good eye for people. It's okay... Yuuya is a little introverted, but that means you don't have to worry." Her mother said
"Anyway, I have no intention of marrying him! I'll pick my own partner!" Asuna said
"That's fine. Anyone, as long as they're worthy of you. Just so we're clear, that does not include a child like that, from that facility!" Her mother said
"What?! You didn't... You investigated him?" Asuna said
"Please understand. Your father and I want you to be happy. You're capable of starting any number of promising careers." Her mother said
Asuna get's up from the chair and walk's away.
"Let me think about the transfer for a while." Asuna walking away
"You have until the middle of next week. Fill it out, print three copies, and put them on the desk in my study." Her mother said
"Mom..."
"What?"
"You're ashamed of my dead grandma and grandpa, aren't you? You're angry you weren't born into a rich, important family, aren't you?" Asuna said
Her mother get's shock.
"Asuna, come here!"
Asuna walk's out of the dining room and closes the door.
"Asuna!"
*Asuna's Room*
Asuna took off her shoe's and lay's on bed. She turn's on her phone. She bring's up a picture of the three of them.
"Kirito... Sonic..." Asuna whisper's
*FlashBack*
"What are planning to do with your future?" Asuna said
"I think I'm going to go from a player to a creator." Kazuto said
"A creator? What kind of game will you make?" Asuna said
"Not a game... A man-machine interface to replace out current full-dive technology. I've been frequenting a lot of tech forums, to study. But they're all in English, so it's pretty rough." Kazuto said
*End Of Flashback*
"I want to stay by Kirito and Sonic's side, and chase after the same dream. But..." Asuna thought
*Another FlashBack*
"You're strong, Asuna. Much stonger than I am." Kirito said
*End Of Flashback*
"I'm not strong! I was only able to be a warrior in that world. Lighting Flash Asuna of the Knights of the Blood Oath is gone... The real me is powerless..." Asuna thought
*The Next Day, Inside ALO*
Kirito and Sonic were both taking a quick nap on the grass and the water flowing. Asuna land's right next to them.
"Hey." Kirito said
"Hey again." Sonic said
"It's rare for you two to be here first, Kirito and Sonic." Asuna said
"It happens sometimes." Kirito said
Asuna sit's down next to Kirito and leans on him. Yui was sleeping on Kirtio's chest pocket. Asuna was about to say something but she couldn't.
"You been upgrading and leveling up. Weren't you Sonic?" Kirito said
"You know it." Sonic said
They hear noise coming from a bush. The three looked to see a black rabbit.
"Hey, do you remember the first time you came to my room in Selmburg?" Asuna said
"I don't mean to brag, but my memory is terrible. But I do remember that." Kirito said
"Really?" Asuna said
"Of course. Me and Sonic got that rare ingredient item, and you made us a stew. That meat was so good... Sometimes, I still remember it." Kirito said
"I can already feel my taste bud's wanting that meat." Sonic said
"You two only remember food, don't you?" Asuna said
The two them laugh. Asuna laugh's with them. They then looked up to see other players going to the location.
"It's almost time... We have to go." Asuna said
"Asuna, if you're going to fight..." Kirito said
"Huh?"
"U-Um... No... Zekken's strong." Kirito said
"Liz and ther others told me all about how strong they are. Buy I still can't believe you lost... By the way, Leafa said you were saying something to them during the duel. What were you talking about?" Asuna said
"Um, something was bothering me." Kirito said
"What?" Asuna said
"I asked... "You're totally living in this world, aren't you?" Zekken answered with a wordless smile and a charge skill at incredible speed. That speed was beyond the limits like Sonic." Kirito said
"Totally living in this world"? Do you mean they're a really heavy user?" Asuna said
"No... I wasn't referring to a single VRMMO. I felt like Zekken was a product of the full-dive enviornment itself." Kirito said
"What does that mean?" Asuna said
"I don't want to give you any preconceived notions. I want you to feel the rest for yourself." Kirito said
"This is what will happen if you take your eyes off them for a second." Lizbeth said
Lizbeth, Silica and Leafa were walking toward's them. They turn around.
"Sorry to bother you when you're busy, but it's nearly time!" Lizbeth said
"It's about time!" Leafa and Silica said
Kirito giggle's.
"What are you all talking about?" Sonic said
"I-I know!" Asuna said
*At The Small Island*
Kirito, Sonic, Asuna, Lizbeth, Silica and Leafa all made it to the island. Other players were there too cheering. They then see a player fall down and hit the ground.
"Wow." Sonic said
The player get's back and put's his arm's up.
"I give up! I surrender! Resign!" The player said
*RESIGN*
"Wow! That's sixty-seven wins!"
"Can't anyone stop her?"
"What is happening?" Sonic said
"Just watch." Sonic said
Then, A player was flying toward's the ground. She front flip's and land's the ground. Asuna was shock. The player bow's as other players cheer for her. She does a peace sign.
"V!"
"Hey, Liz..." Asuna said
"What?" Lizbeth said
"Zekken's a girl!" Asuna shock
"Huh? Didn't I tell you?" Lizbeth said
"You didn't!" Asuna said
Asuna look's at Kirito.
"Wait..." Asuna said
"What!?" Kirito getting scared
"Is the reason you lost... Stare." Asuna said
"N-No... I didn't go easy on her because she's a girl. I'm serious. Really. At least halfway." Kirito said
"I don't know!" Asuna said
"Anyone want to go next?" The girl yelling at them
"Not really, I just came here because I didn't know what was going on so I came here to check it out!" Sonic yelling at her
"Get going." Lizbeth said
"I need to go psyche myself up again." Asuna said
"After the first hit, you'll be all psyched up. Now, get going." Lizbeth pushing Asuna toward's the middle
Asuna get's close to the girl.
"You gotta stop doing that Lizbeth." Sonic said
"Miss, wanna fight?" The girl said
"U-Um... Okay, let's." Asuna said
"Okay!" The girl said
Asuna take's a breath and slowly walk's up to her.
"Um, can we use the standard rules?" Asuna said
"Sure. Use all the magic and items you want. I'll just use this, though." The girl grabbing her sword
"Something tell's me that this won't end well." Sonic thought
Asuna grab's her sword as well.
"Oh, right. What do you prefer? Ground or aerial fights?" The girl said
"Is either okay?" Asuna said
She nod's.
"Ground fights, then." Asuna said
"Okay. Jumping is okay, but no using your wings." The girl said
The girl open's up her menu and click's on the duel request. A menu apper's in front of Asuna.
*Do you accept the duel? Oppenent Thpe, Yuuki*
"Yuuki"?
She accpect's it. HP To Zero Mode. The countdown started. They both took out there swords. Asuna take's a breath as the countdown hit's zero and say's START! Asuna charges right at her. Asuna quick attack's her but block's them. Asuna wanted to stab her under her chest but she blocked it. She attack's Asuna sword's. They both attack hitting eachother's swords. Yuuki charge's right at her, Asuna step's back. Yuuki slice's Asuna's chest. Asuna back flip's back. Her friends were shocked expect Sonic.
"She has some crazy skills..." Sonic whisper's
Asuna was sweating and breathing heavliy. Yuuki smile's. Asuna's smile's as well and wipe's off the sweat.
"She's strong. But if I give up after one hit, I'm a failure as a warrior." Asuna thought
*FlashBack*
"I was only able to be a warrior in that world."
*End Of Flashback*
Asuna look's at Kirito an Sonic. Asuna's take a huge breath and get's in a fighting position. She was now serious. Yuuki get's in a fighting position as well. After moments of staring at eachother, they charged at eachother. They both hit their swords at the same time. Asuna slices up Yuuki's sword pushing it up the air, the slash made a shock wave. Lizbeth covered herself while Kirito and Sonic kept on watching her without doing anything. Yuuki get's push back but run's up to her and attack's. They both started hitting eachothers swords. Every attack they was blocked by the swords. Yuuki charges up her sword and attack's Asuna but she manged to block it. The attack caused a explosive behind Asuna. Asuna spin's and charge's her sword. She attack's Yuuki making another explosive behind Yuuki. Asuna jump's out of the smoke and attack's Yuuko but Yuuki block's it. Asuna jump's back, Yuuki charges up her sword and run's toward's her. Yuuki attack's but Asuna block's it. They kept hitting eachothers swords until Asuna finally attack's Yuuki. Yuuki lost some HP. Yuuki attack's Asuna as well and she lost HP as well. Yuuki tried to attack but Asuna kept dodging them. They locked on swords together. Asuna then punches Yuuki in the stomach very hard knocking her back. Asuna chargesuo her sword.
"I can do this!" Asuna thought
Asuna was about to end it until Yuuki blocked the attack's very fast.
"What?" Kirito said
"No way!" Sonic said
"She can see Quadruple Pain?"
Yuuki charges up sword and attack's Asuna lot. Asuna didn't gave up yet and charges her sword. She charges right at her.
"I... won't let it end like this!"
They both charged at each other. Asuna stab's Yuuki while Yuuki stab's Asuna. Asuna see's her charging up her sword once again.
"This is Zekken's eleven-hit combo? Her Original Sword Skill... Losing to a skill like this wouldn't bother me at all!"
Yuuki stab's Asuna in the stomach casuing a shock wave. Or did she? After the smoke cleared away, Asuna look's down to see the sword pointing at her stomach. Yuuki move's the sword away from her stomach and look's at her. Yuuki grab's her shoulder.
"That was great. I pick you, miss?" Yuuki said
"U-Um, what about the duel?" Asuna said
"Fighting this much is enough for me. Do you want to go all the way?" Yuuki said
Asuna nod's with a no.
"I was looking for someone who seemed just right. And I finally found them!" Yuuki said
Yuuki put's her sword away and put's her arm foward ready to shake Asuna's hand. Asuna put's her sword away as well and shake's Yuuki's hand as well. Yuuki summon's her wing's as she started taking Asuna somewhere. Asuna wing's summon's as well and look's down to see The five of them just watching her.
"Mommy?" Yui said
"Hey, Asuna!" Lizbeth yelled
"Asuna!" Leafa and Silica yelled
Yuuki and Asuna were both flying on top of the clouds. They both left the new Aincard.
"Um..."
Yuuki stop's and look's at Asuna.
"Please... Help us!" Yuuki said
"Help you?" Asuna said
