Chapter 15

An American Pastoral Scene

Kirito Pov: it been a few days since we help the gang rob that train. We were left concern when the law were right on us, did someone set us up. Or were they that close to catching us. I mean we have been causing quite a bit of trouble for a while now. So it make sense they are onto us, this means we need to be care full from now onw. Right now me, Asuan, Eugeo, Sinon, Lizbeth, Yuuki, Silica and Yui were out in the heartlands as we were busy taking out a group of Hollows that appear out of no where. "Vorpal strike!" I shout as I quickly slash one down the middle. "Jamming thunder!" Vielecmon shout as he hit a flying hollow with a burst of lighting to knock it to the ground. "Shooting star!" Asuna shout as she thrust her sword to go through a hollow. :Black pearl!" Syakomon shout as she shot the pearls to distract one. "Vertical!" Yuuki shout as she stabs into the hollow to slice it in half at the waist. "Sinon shot a ice dust round to freeze a hollow as Lizbeth back her up and smashes it with her mace.

"Pina!" Silica shout as her dragon shot her flames at one. Eugeo flash step to get behind it and finish it off with a thrust to the back. Yuuki cut off a hollow arms and she then slice it head off. "Yui, Bosamon it safe to come out now." Asuna said as they came out from behind a rock and run to us. "You got them all." Yui said. "Yeah, but why are Hollow appears more offen?" Sinon ask. "It must because of Sachi, as a arrancar she can command lesser hollows." Eugeo said. "Still she could be near by?" Asuna ask. "No, if she was she would attack, she is most likely waiting for the right moment to strike. Were lucky the hollow didn't attack the camp." I said. 'I can put up a kido barrier to protect the camp when were not there." Eugeo said. "Good idea, we need to be ready for any thing." Yuuki said. "Yeah, Hollow, SAO monster, the law. We have a lot to deal with here." I said. "We can handle it Kirito, we face worse." Lizbeth said with a smirk. 'if you saw what we face in the last 2 years you wouldn't be saying that." Asuna said.

"We know you told us about that war you were in. Honestly you guys need to stop getting your selves into these messes." Lizbeth said. "Now your starting to sound like my sister." I said. "Well Leafa was not happy when you guys left. She mention something about shover her sword up your well." Silica said with a red face. "I see, yeah that Sugu for you. Guess I have to deal with that when we find her and the others." I said. "It only her Klein and Alice we have to find right?" Asuna ask. "Yeah pretty much." Lizbeth said with shrug. "Anyway we should return to camp." Sinon said. 'Good idea." Is aid as we found our horses and head back to the camp. Once there we took a load off as we rest for a while by the fire. But it wasn't long until Arthur came t join us. 'So where you kids running off to?" He ask as he help himself to some soup. "Out dealing with some hollows, they been showing up a lot lately." I said. "Those mask monster we saw right, hard to think something like that go bump in the night." Arthur said.

'Trust me Arthur you haven't seen the worst of what we have in our world." Sinon said. "I can tell, you kids been surprising us each day with that magic of yours." Arthur said. "It not really magic Arthur. It pretty normal where we come from." I said. "So what the plan for today?" Yuuki ask. "Well if your all free, I'm heading over to Strawberry to check on Micah. See if he got something for us." Arthur said. "Count me out, I had my fill with that guy." Lizbeth said as she got up to walk away. "Me too, I don't want to hurt any one, come on Yui Pina." Silica said as they turn to leave too. "Arthur you know we can't trust Micah right?" I ask. "I know Kirito, but until Dutch decided to get rip of the snake were stuck with him." Arthur said. "Let hope he have something worth while for us." Eugeo said. "Then we better get moving then." I said. 'Right follow me, I know where he camping out at." Arthur said as we head to our horses and mount up. We rode for a few hours until we came to Strawberry. We avoid the town in hopes of avoiding the law.

We head to the hills behind town to find Micah camping behind some large rocks. "Hey Arthur. Good to see you. I see you brought the tikes with you too." Micah said with his normal smug tone. "So are we doing something that involves saving your ass again or what?" I ask with my arms cross. "No boy, I got something to make up for that." Micah said. "A plan like the Blackwater ferry job? Or… like you going off scouting and ending up in jail?" Arthur said. "Dutch said you was a big shadow cast by a tiny tree." Micah said. "I don't even know what that means." Arthur said. "I thought you was a tough boy… not one of those gentlemen… trying to protect his riding clothes." Micah said. "I just know whenever things get real… you turn yellow, and lose your head. Sure seems that way." Arthur said. "So please just get to the point Micah, or were just going to go back to camp." Asuna said with a roll of her eyes. "Easy there little lady. I guess you won't be riding with me to rob the banking coach… comes about this time into Strawberry? I heard one of the O'Driscoll boys yapping about it while I was inside." Micah said.

"You want us to do a job with you. And rib someone again?" Eugeo said annoy. "That's what I said didn't I?" Micah said. "Let see if this job is worth it." Arthur said as Micah got up. We mount our horses and headed off. "There's a spot up this way with a good view of the trail." Micah said as we follow him. 'So why are you hiding up here like a hobo?" Yuuki ask. "Can't exactly stay in town now, can I?" He said. "you mean after you drag us into shooting it up." I said remembering the last time we were here. "What more I'm not coming back until I have something for Dutch." Micah said. "So what the deal with this coach you want to rob?" I ask. "What do you mean? Comes through about this time every day, like I said. The end." Micah said. "I mean… how many men? Guns? Riders?" Arthur ask. "He right, we need to know exactly what were dealing with here if were going to pull this off." Sinon said. "Nothing serious. It'll be fine." Micah said. "I heard the banks been hiring every trigger man they can get of late. The meaner the better." Arthur said.

"You worry too much." Micah said. "Forgive me if I ain't wholly faithful in something an O'Driscoll told you, when you was half-drunk in a jail cell." Arthur said. 'Who you then shot the first chance you got." I said. "He kept yapping about it, saying how they been hitting it on the regular. That's a good lead in my book." Micah said. "Damn O'Driscolls are everywhere now." Arthur said. "Tell me about it, I notice they are showing up quite a bit." Sinon said. "Liz told me they try to mess with her and Silica to the point they have to sick Pina on them." Asuna said. "I'm starting to hate these guys." I said. "Bastards got a hold of most of Big Valley. Heard they took over some big ranch, north of here." Micah said. "How the hell you and Lenny end up down here anyway?" Arthur said. "You know how it is. A few loose ends, drink here, drink there." Micah said. "What do you mean by loose end?" Eugeo said. "Nothing that needs to concern you. I always pay my share." Micah said.

"It concerns when you put us in danger and we don't realize till it's too late. Like that move you pulled in Strawberry, making us kill half the town just for your precious guns." Arthur said. 'For real, I should kick your ass for putting Silica through that jerk!" Asuna shout. "Please lizard girl and her pet did alright, hehe the look on those lawman when her beast got big was wroth it." Micah said with a grin. "Are we gonna rob this coach or bicker about it? What's done is done." He ask. "This isn't over." I said. "Alright, this is the spot. Hold up on this ridge." He said as he came to a ridge. "Which way will they be coming in?" Arthur said. "Should be from over there. We'll need to hit them fast, before they get into town." Micah said. "Is that them." Sinon said as we saw a coach coming into sight. "That they are girl, cover up and let go." Micah said as we cover our faces and rode after the coach. We got up next to it. We saw there were two guards on horses. "This is a robbery! Stop that coach right now!" Micah shout as he shot at them.

The guards shot back but were taken out by Micah. Arthur then shot at the driver killing him to stop the coach. Once it stop we pull up next to it. "Wish we could have done this without killing them." Eugeo said sadly. "Best get use to it kid, come on let get this out of here." Micah said as he and Arthur got on the coach and started to move it. We follow close behind it. "Why are we taking the coach, let just grab the money and go." I said. "Could be more than we can carry. And… there might be a second crew of riders tailing." Micah said. "He got a point I hate to admit, there could be something we can sell for the camp funds." Sinon said. But suddenly a tree fall infront of us blocking the road. "Oh give me a break." I said. We soon see bandits coming out as they started to shoot at us. "Shit, now we're being robbed! Get across the river!" Arthur said as he direct the coach to the river. But he end up losing control as it clash into the water. Arthur and Micah took cover as they shot at our attack. "Kirito we need to Digivolve." Vielecemon said. "Dig-modify Digivolvtion activate!" We shout.

Vielecmon digivolve to Lowemon

Syakomon digivolve to Ranamon

"I ran at the bandits as I use my sword to deflect their bullets as I got close. "Double circular!" I shout as I swung taking out a few of them. "Shadow lance!" Lowemon shout as he follow up behind me as he thrust his weapon to knock a couple back. "Flashing penetation!' Asuna shout as she send a powerful thrust that blast several back. "Whipping waves!" Ranamon shout as she use the over water to wash several of them away. Sinon was shooting down the ones who were trying to hide in the trees. She then threw a grenade to flush a few out with the explosion. "Bloom in the forst Kotta aoi bara!" Eugeo shout as he bust out his shikai. Reito Surashu!" He shout as he shot the ice slash to slam into a few of them. "Horizonal!" Yuuki shout as she swung her sword to send one flying into a tree. The rest of them look to be running until a blade of green energy cut thorough hem killing them. "What was that!" Micah shout. "Worthless humans can't count on hem. But I doubt they could killed you black Swordman." A voice said.

A figure soon appear in front of as me and Asuna recognize him. "Kuradeel." I said with venom in my voice. He look the same as I last saw him. Only his armor was pure white as he have a bone like mask that look like a snake head covering the right side of his face. "You know this guy?" Sinon ask. 'We do, he use to be in my former guild the knight of the blood oath. Kuradeel was assign to be my guard since I held a high position in the guild. But in reality he was a member of laughing coffin." Asuna said. "He try to killed me and Asuna but." I said. "You killed me first. I say you still got the taste for it after watching you killed these guys." Kuradeel said with a mad grin. I point my sword at him. 'I'm nothing like you Kuradeel. I see you gave up your humanity and became an Arrancar." I said. Kuradeel laugh as he touch his mask. 'One of the many upgrades my master gave me. It going to help me finish what that useless girl couldn't do . Killing you and your bitch." He said as he draw his sword.

"We like to see you try jerk wad, you won't touch my big sis and her man." Yuuki said. Kuradeel grin. "Will see about that behold my true power. Posion them to death Serpiente!" He shout as he was cover by a pillar of green energy. "What going on!" Yuuki shout. "He releasing his resurreccion!" Eugeo shout. When the pillar fade Kuradeel was completely different. His body was cover in green scales as his legs fuse into a single tail. His hands have turn into sharp claws that were a foot long. His face was snake like with green slit like eyes with a cobra hood on the side of his head. "Now you will suffer!" He hiss at us as hit fork tougne came out of his mouth. "Oh I'm going to have nightmares about this." Ranamon said. "We need to stop him now. He release his true power and can do some major damage." Eugeo said. "Arthur you and Micah take cover while we handle this." I said. "Don't have to tell us kid, this shit is not worth it." Micah said as they ran for it. Once they were clear we got ready to fight Kuradeel. "Digi-modify Matrix Digivolvtiona activate!" We shout.

Matrix Digivolvtion

Ranamon digivolve to Calamaramon

Tamers vs Kuradeel

Kuradeel let out a hiss as he charges at us as he clash into me. I use my swords to hold back his claws until I push him off. "Deadly sins!" I shout as I strike him seven times to push him back. He whip his tail at me as I jump back. "Ebony blast!' Kaiserleomon shout as he shot the dark energy burst to force Kuradeel to move back. Kuradeel throat look to bulges as he shot a green sludge at us as we jump back as it hit the ground and started to melt it. Great Acid, why do it have to be acid? "Quadruple pain!" Asuna shout as she stabs him 5 time in the back. He try to grab at her as he was slap by Calamaramon tentcale. "Hand to yourself buddy! Acid ink!" She shout as she shot the ink at him. Kuradeel shot his acid to counter it. "My venom is worse then you scum!" He shout as Yuuki got close as she slashes at him. He growls as he slap the purple hair girl back. Sinon threw several of her bombs to explodes in his face covering him in smoke as his tail shot out to slam into her chest to knock her into a tree.

"Aisu Kyyadon!" Eugeo shout as he thrust his sword forward to hit Kuradeel with a blast of ice. He started to laugh ,madly at us. "Is that the best you all have this is hardly fun." He said mocking us. 'We too strong." Asuna. 'Don't give up we just need to slow him down to land a fatal strike." I said. "Well give you an opening." Yuuki said as she charge at Kuradeel as the Arrancar was whipping his tai at her. Yuuki move quickly to dodge him as her sword glow purple. "Violet assault!" She shout as she land a barrage of slashes on him leaving gashes o him. Thsi shock him as he jump back. 'She broke through my Hierro?" He ask. Sinon got close to him with her proton sword at the ready as he try to claw at her. Sinon dodge him as she swung to cut off his right arm at the elbow. "You bitch!" He shout as he try to stab her with his other arm. "Shimo no tsuru!' Euego shout as he shot the ice vines as they grab Kuradeel arm to hold him in place. Asuna use this to rush at him.

"Mother Rosario!" She shout as she assaulted him with the 11 hit combo to his chest to knock the air out f him. "Kirito switch!" She shout as I jump over her with my sword at the ready. "Star burst stream!" I shout as I relentlessly slashes at Kuradeel chest leaving bloody gashes as he cry out in pain. He collapse to the ground as he started to dissolves into green flames. "Damn... you too ... hell brat." He said. 'Tell us , who sent you what does he want!" I shout. Kuradeel chuckles weakly. 'He want to ... go back to the beginning, ... to take back everything that he lost, For he ... is the Hazardous one." He said as he dissolve into nothing. "What was he talking about?" Asuna said. "No Idea." I said as We saw Arthur coming over to us. "I see you kids are all right." He said. 'We are where Micah?" I ask. "He took off, we got the loot from the coach, a decent amount too. What was all that about?" Arthur ask. "It a very lone story, for now we need to get back to camp." Eugeo said. "Right good idea." I said as we head to our horses to ride back. Just who is this Hazardous one and what does he want from us? Something tell me thing just got complicate for us.
