Chapter Three

The Priestess of Light & The Priest of Darkness

Disclaimer: This chapter does contain a lemon so yeah still not super comfortable writing them TBH

Kirito couldn't help but grin as he felt Alice's warmth as he held his new love in his arms. A feeling the blonde knight returned as she too grinned before whispering into Kirito's ear as he continued holding her; "I love you Kirito-Kun." A warm blush dotting her cheeks as she waited to hear a response; "I love you too Alice..." Kirito subconsciously responded. The response of her lover was hypnotizing to the integrity knight she felt as if her heart was running a thousand miles an hour. Right now felt like a fairy tail but Alice couldn't help herself but to challenge her lover by whispering once again into his ear; "Then prove it to me, Kirito-Kun." In a demanding and provocative tone which had quite an effect on Kirito; "As you wish my new queen."

Meanwhile on Ocean Turtle:

"This is pointless." Higa quipped as he stared at the main control screen with Ryoken; Project Alicization literally created an entire civilization; there are literally hundreds of new fluctlight's generated a year." Ryoken didn't respond he just continued to focus on the matter at hand. "Even if the new program works and they create a new one..."

The phrase making the nerd grow sick instantly after it exited his mouth; "We wont be able to differentiate it."

"We'll know." Ryoken confidently responded to Higa as he continued to focus on the screen before being distracted by another familiar voice.

"Status" Kikouka's voice echoed through the control room...

"Nothing yet we've only given them a few days though." Ryoken responded to his new boss with his trademark calm demeanor; he knew that they were in a time crunch but he also knew that something like this would take time.

"We've already got two special forces teams training and the clock is ticking we need the bait ASAP Ryoken; Dont let us down we have several lives depending on it. Kikouka responded before closing the com channel. However as he did the team was startled by the blaring of an alarm throughout the control room.

"What the..?"

"We've got company!" Higa responded as he pulled up a video feed of outside ocean Turtle there heading straight for them from the north at approximately 100mph was a white helicopter with a red insignia emblazoned on it's nose.

"It's not a JSDF helicopter Task force turtle; shoot it down!" Higa called through the com channel after surviving the last raid on Ocean Turtle he wasn't about to take the risk.

At that moment however a voice called over the comms one Higa didn't know but Ryoken recognized right away; Revolver-Sama it's Specter we've got our friends who have an urgent warning for all of you we need to see you at once." Hearing Specteres voice sent a chill down Ryoken's spine after all they agreed to not contact one another again until this mission was over if his Knight's were disobeying a direct order it must be dire.

"I know them; task force turtle stand down do not open fire on that aircraft!"

"What the hell are you doing?" Higa demanded we've got work to do...

"And this is part of it!" Ryoken responded once again in his trademark calm demeanor much to Higa's annoyance.

Meanwhile inside Star Kings quarters central cathedral Underworld:

"Then Prove it to me Kirito-Kun!" Alice whispered into Kirito's ear Provoking a response in her new lover as Kirito subconsciously lowered his lips onto hers kissing Alice passionately. Causing the blonde to moan into the kiss. The pair couldn't explain it but new emotions were taking over their minds but in this moment they didn't care right now they had each other which was what they wanted. Kirito subconsciously took Alice's moan as an opportunity to take Alice's tounge into a dance as Alice subconsciously returned the gesture. As she pressed into her love. This in turn turned Kirito on quite quickly which Alice could feel pleasing the blonde.

Minutes passed as the two lovers continued showing their affection now both were "bare" in each other's arms as they're hands continued to explore each other's bodies as they continued to enjoy themselves. As Alice was on cloud nine as the priest of darkness began kissing the Priestess of lights neck and chest and then it happened Alice's mind was brought back to reality by a sudden pain. As her priest of darkness entered her and the two became one. However that pain quickly dissipated as pleasure took over. As soon as it did Kirito was taken aback by Alice shooting up at him to engage in another kiss but he was quick to grave the knight and gently lower her down as they continued. Unaware or uncaring about what else was going on.

Meanwhile at Kirito & Asuna's Cabin in Alfheim Online:

Yui have you heard anything from Kirito or Asuna lately? The AI Daughter of our hero's was being cornered and bombarded with questions by the pairs friends who after not hearing from the pair for several weeks came to their cabin in Alfheim in hopes they'd be here but alas...

"No sorry everyone I haven't." Yui had to reluctantly and worryingly admit to the group. Yui was sad she couldn't help but deep down was just as worried sick as everyone else this was totally out of the ordinary for her mama and papa even when they were busy one or both of them would always make sure to check in on their daughter even if she was an AI but these last couple weeks it's been different it's not just they haven't checked on her but Yui couldn't quite explain it but it felt like her parents disappeared off the face of the earth and from cyberspace.

"Something is wrong..." Leafa chimed in to the gang breaking the silence as just like Yui it felt like her brother and soon to be sister in law disappeared off the face of the earth but unlike Yui she was the first to explain the feeling in her gut causing looks of worry to appear on the faces of all their friends gathered there; "Liz, Sinon, Agil, Klein and, Silica."

"It's like they vanished off the face of the earth and cyberspace."

"How can this even be possible nowadays?" Sinon added

"We've got to do something!" Liz & Silica chimed in

"Well then let's start searching and we can start by finding Alice maybe she knows something." "We'll find them!" Klein enthusiastically added as the gang all noded in agreement.

Meanwhile in an unknown location:

Lightning was standing in front of several screens watching the network like a malevolent god waiting for his plan to be able to go forward but even though he was confident he'd succeed this time after his last failure and being able to bring himself back into existence he was growing annoyed with the loose ends he's leaving in the form of Rinko and Asuna however; as time as gone on Lightning has reached a new decision it was time to tie up that loose ends by using his most terrifying ability. The ability to steal someones consciousness data and just like that a screen appeared before the small yellow being on that screen were Asuna and Rinko still pounding on the door to their cell trying to escape but not anymore. With a smirk and slight laugh Lightning snapped his fingers and watched the lifeless hulls of Asuna and Rinko fall to the floor on top of one another. Now even if someone managed to crack his code there was no way for anyone to find his two hostages.

Central Cathedral; Underworld:

It seemed like hours have passed for Kirito and Alice both but neither cared right now they were in their own little world I'll be it thanks to a rogue program.

"Kirito; Darling I'm going to..." Alice painted to her lover...

"Me too Alice..." As Kirito said this he felt Alice's legs tighten around his waist as she looked at him longingly and it was there in that moment the two lovers became one and they truly loved every minute of it as right now all they knew was one another as the Priestess of light finally released her hold on Kirito who upon his release laid down next to Alice and pulled her into his arms.

" You were incredible Alice."

Kirito's compliment causing Alice's face to light up as she responded; " As were you my love; I truly do love you." As Alice said this she was taken by surprise as Kirito kissed her once again as he dozed off to sleep muttering; "I... I... Love you Alice..." As Alice too started dozing off but with a smile on her face as well right now truly seemed like a dream to her but it was very much real as was the consequences of their previous actions as they were in underworld after all...
