Chapter – 33

Target on sight – SAO Integral fragments

"Whooooosh… Whoooooosh…."

The winds echoed through the sandy fields as I stood below with a pair of headphones hugging my neck while music played at low volumes, it turns out you can even buy certain equipment that works the same way as in real life, these headphones are one of them. As for why I was sitting in these sandy areas with the gang loading their weapons behind me, was because we were waiting to eliminate a monster hunting party. This party was led by Dyne, one of BoB's competitors, they said they were going to defeat a monster hunting squad and needed help, although the one they really wanted was Sinon, with Sinon's big return to GGO, the Players have been all over the place trying to recruit her for their parties, even if it was just a raid, but convincing her was no easy job, fortunately, I'm one of her friends (and someone she owes a debt to for helping her), so convincing her was pretty easy. She agreed to go out with these Dyne, some of his squadmates and our own friends to hunt down this monster hunting group, but in exchange, I along with everyone else had to come, the reason why I needed to go is because he will be at the next BoB event and I needed to collect information about the players that were entering, so far the only thing we could collect from these latest players is the same goal that they all want to become stronger.

It wasn't much help in finding Death's Gun, but… we still needed to investigate. Right now, we are hiding on top of a building where sandy winds blow in the distance, waiting for the group to come out and prepare to be ambushed. I didn't know how to exactly feel since I'm the kind of person who would stop this kind of thing from happening... but to find out which of these players is Death gun, I needed to play along, killing the players won't actually kill them, this isn't SAO so it should probably be fine...although I can't say I still agree with this...

Kirito: *He yawns*

Rei: Kirito, are you alright? Did you not get enough rest, I would suggest that you get an 8 to 6 hour rest if you wish to stay up with energy.

Kirito: thanks for the helpful advice but its not that, I am just bored.

Dyne squadmate: *he yawns* I hear ya man. Yo Dyne, ya sure you got the right info? They comin' or what?

Dyne: Relax, they're coming. I checked twice and they always come through this area, they probably just stopped to take out some big monster spawn, which means that your cut will be bigger this time so stop complaining.

Dyne Squadmate: Dude, no one is complaining, I am just sayin', aren't these the same jokers we hit last time, they could have wizened up and avoided this rout.

Dyne: all that party does is hunt monsters, they don't care if they get attacked because they will be able to make up for it on their next attack. For player hunting squads like us, they make a perfect target. For weapons, they are geared up with optical guns to hunt out monsters but we got defense shields so as long as those are u, it is easy picking.

Dyne Squadmate: but what if they got smart this time, like what if they are actually ready for us this time.

Dyne: We hit them not too long ago, right? So I doubt they had any time to gather enough live amo guns that fast. At best maybe they would have one with live ammunition but that's about it, other than that, we still got the upper hand… especially with these guys around. The best sniper in GGO and the lucky shot.

In case if your wondering, the lucky shot is me, they are calling me that because of just how lucky I have been to get my hands on an Arfa-sys dispite being a beginner and also taking down the most powerful bosses in GGO besides being a beginner. I didn't write down a few of our adventures but I did mention that the crew and I were all over GGO grinding up our levels, getting a better handling with our weapons and also finding new parts for Rei. Up until now, we were able to gather a total of four new parts for her. One was a part I had already, mentioned, her BIO Scanner eye, with that Rei can scan the name, gender, level, properties and weapon type of any monster or player that will come in our way but she needed to get a close eye on the target so she can make her scan which possess a bit of a problem because she need to get a really good look and I don't think anyone is just going to let her take a scan, nevertheless, still useful.

Another part was in her arms, capaple of throwing rope like a bow. Unlike my UFG, which could take me to higher grounds like a grappling hook, Rei's rope could only tangle the enemy or create a rope line, pretty useful for crossing broken bridges or creating sneaky attacks.

Another part was a chip, a chip that contained martial art fighting data, Rei is able to fight without a gun and also make sneaky and lethal attacks with her bare hands making her also tricky to take.

Another part was some sort of leg fire part, basically this skill allowed Rei to fight her enemies with flames firing through her legs, causing a burnt fire debuff on her enemies.

Another part was an EMP shockwave pulse, this part can be a bit dangerous considering that Rei can also be affected by this part since she is an Android but it also enables the enemies' gun usage as well as our photon swords. This part seemed to be only for emergencies only in case if we are in a tight spot against mechanical enemies or players.

For now, we were focusing on gathering Intel on the players, if we can figure out their motives, we might find Death gun… though it is easier said than done because none of them fit the description. Dyne seemed into Pkilling but not for the motives Kikuoka told us.

Sinon laid back at a broken wall, away from the guys as she just sulked to the thought of being here. She didn't seemed to be quite comfortable around them, don't blame her, I don't either.

Dyne: we got all of our bases covered, right Sinon?

Sinon:… yup.

Dyne squad member: guess I cant argue with that. Hey you, lucky shot guy! Tell us your secret, how did you get your hands on a super rare weapon! Surely you must have had a secret technique. I mean look at her, not only is she cute, she is totally awesome! Come on man, tell us your secret, bro to bro.

You: *I sigh as I turn off my headphones* one, not your bro, second, I didn't do anything, it was just lucky.

Dyne Squad member: Damn, your cold. Well whateves, as long as I was able to get a close look at her, I don't mind…

Rei: Uh… Haha! *she smiles at him*

Dyne Squad member: GAAAAH! That smile! Its worth a thousand pieces! Hey, can I pat her?

Rei: No.

Dyne squad member: huh?

Rei: Only my master is allowed to pat me. I don't want anyone else petting me.

Dyne squad member: GAAAAAAAH! Her defending her master is only making me love her more, come on, just one tiny pat.

Rei: No!

Dyne squad member: Ah come on, just one tiny—

This guy was not lisitingin and was proceeding to touch Rei's head… which was a mistake.

Rei: Hmph!

Dyne squad member: PRRGHH!

Rei smashes his face to the wall with his arm behind his back.

Rei: I told you, nobody but master is allowed to pat me.

Dyne squad member: DAAAAAGH! I get it-I get it, I am sorry!

Rei: Master, do I have permission to end his life.

You: Geez Rei, your sounding more menacing then you did a week ago. And no, this guy is with our party, we cannot kill our own Rei.

Rei: Very well *he throws back* as you wish master.

The rest of the squad looked in shock as the guy stood there with his mouth wide open in shock.

Dyne: Damn, that sure is a tough lady. You trained her?

You: Well, I did level her up but she got strong on her own. As long as you don't make her mad, she can be as cuddly as a kitten.

Kureha: I still remember when she was just a clueless android not knowing her left from right, now she is able to smash a creep with less effort.

Kirito: She defiantly is a lot more stronger from how she was a week ago.

Dyne squad member: Damn… she is a lot stronger then she looks… *he gets up with his arms and legs* anyways, how about you doll face? I was wonderin' whatcha doin' after this? I was thinking we could go get some tea or… do somethin' else if you know what I mean…

This weirdo was ogling Sinon from her legs and chest… made me sick.

You: hey, lay off her. She is not into that sort of thing.

Dyne squad member: oh yeah, and how do you know? Is she your girlfriend or somethin'?

You: no, but she is my friend and I don't appreciate you talking to her like that. You want a girl, I suggest you stop that weird crawling and staring.

Dyne squad member: oh come on, I am just being nice.

You: Do you want me to remove my Arfa-sys orders of not harming you?

Dyne squad member: Uh!

Looking back, he looks at Rei who she is staring back with a menacing glare.

Dyne squad member: Alright-alright, I'm sorry. I don't want my arm to get torn off.

Sinon: *she breathes a sigh of relief* thank you *she says quietly*

Kureha: Hmph, serves him right…

Kirito: Hm…

Dyne: alright that's enough.

You: Target on sight.

Dyne: Hmm?

Dyne looks through his benaculars and confirms the party.

Dyne: that's it. its about time.

You: hand the benaculars to Rei, let her scan the players.

Dyne: Alright, here you go. *he passes them*

You: Rei, scan the player's weapons.

Rei: Okay.

Rei's eyes begin to shine bright yellow as the type of weapons begin to be displayed in her field of vision.

Rei: there are seven in total.

Dyne: Seven, that's one more from when we last hunted them.

Rei: four optical blasters in the front, one large caliber laser rifle and there is one more whose weapon isn't available in my field of vision. He might be using some sort of skill that enables me to BIO scan him.

Sinon: is it the big one.

Rei: Yes. There is also a guy with a BB gun.

Dyne: Great. He goes down first.

I didn't like the sound of his plan, if the large guy is able to bypass Rei's bio scanner, that means that he doesn't want anyone to know what kind of weapon he is using, he also wouldn't be hiding behind that large cloak.

Dyne squad member: He's wearing a cloak? Maybe its that Death gun guy everyone is talking about.

Dyne: please, do you actually believe in fairy tales.

You: you know, an interesting fact about fairy tales… is that every story has an origin… I say that we take out the large guy in the back first, he doesn't spell friendly.

Kureha: I agree, without knowing his motives he could be dangerous.

Kirito: I agree as well.

Sinon: As will I. He's an unknown so he is a risk.

Dyne: I get what you all are saying but that other guy as a live ammunition, if he starts shooting us and those blasters move in its gonna get ugly.

Sinon: understood, I'll drop the guy with the live ammunition first.

You: you're the boss. (I have a bad feeling about this)

Dyne squad member 2: Hate to interrupt you guys but they are closing in on us. They are a t 25 hundred meters.

Dyne: alright, we are gonna stick to the original plan and wait for them through the shadow of that building. Hey lucky shot, you got the traps set, right?

You: The name is (You). And yes, they are ready. They are all connected to my Arfa-sys, I give the command and she detonates them.

Dyne: good. And as for you two, think you can lend us support from higher ground.

Kureha: Got that covered.

Kirito: I am more of a ground attacker myself.

Dyne: fine, then your coming with us. You stay here with (You) and Sinon, provide cover when needed.

Kureha: got it.

You: Rei, go along with them. Cover Kirito in case if things get pretty heated. Follow his orders.

Rei: yes master.

You: Kirito, Rei will be following you. Tell her what she needs to do and she will do it. don't get her killed out there.

Kirito: Roger. Come on, Rei!

Rei: coming!

Dyne: move out!

Sinon lays down and opens her Rifle telescope, getting a clearer view of the players.

You: That guy is really giving me bad vibes, I say you take him out next after you shoot your first target.

Sinon: I was already planning on doing that.

Headset: We are in position.

Sinon: Good, target hasn't changed its course or speed.

Dyne: Good. Can you make the shot?

Sinon: No sweat.

Dyne: Alright, we are counting on you Sinon.

Sinon: Right.

Looking through her telescope, the bullet line grew smaller and bigger as she steadied her breathing.

Sinon: (This pressure… this anxiety… this fear… 15 hundred meters… its nothing, like tossing paper into a trash can… no way… this is nothing like how it felt that day…)

The bullet line settled in making a perfect match with the targets head and then…

Sinon: Hmph!

"BANG!"

You: Whoa!

Kureha: Aah!

The shot was a bit impactful, so much that it made a small shockwave in our bodies. The rifle that boss drop was rare indeed.

We were at a faraway distance… it would take a miracle for the bullet to even scratch the player. It flew at amazing speeds throughout the fields until eventually.

Enemy player: Huh—GAAAGH!

The red player disappears into red pixelated polygons and the gun is dropped.

You: First one down, aim for the big guy!

Sinon: *she reloads* Right.

As the bullet circle straighten up, Sinon fires again.

"BANG!"

You: Igh! I might need some noise canceling plugs when I am near you firing that thing.

The bullet flew the same way but unlike the other player.

?: Hm… *he evades it*

The bullet inly hits the ground as he manages to evade it.

You: Damn, he must have known you attempted him next.

Kureha: they might know our positions. We need to head out.

Sinon: No. We can't change position. *she calls in through the ear piece* I cleared the first target, but I couldn't pop the second one.

Dyne through ear piece: Roger that, well take it from here. Let those two provide you cover if needed. Go-go-go!

As I looked through my benaculars, I saw Dyne and his squad mates get into position, meanwhile Kirito and Rei were taking cover inside a building, I saw that Kirito was telling Rei something but I couldn't tell what he was saying.

You: They are getting into position.

Sinon: Hey look… that guy is taking off his cloak…

You: Hmm…

The bug guy removed his cloak and revealed a terrifying weapon.

Sinon: *she gasp* he's got a… mini-gun!

You: A mini-gun!

Sinon: they are not late because they're hunt was running long, they're moving slow in the field because the weight on that mini-gun has a movement penalty

You: Shit, this is bad! That thing is going to tear down their defenses!

Meanwhile, on the fields.

"Pew-pew-pew!"

The plasma blast from the non-optical guns were fired at the squad but thanks to their defenses, the attacks did half the damage.

Dyne squad member: *he chuckles* "Ta-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra!"

As he fired is submachine gun, two players were taking out within seconds.

Dyne squad member: Ha! I knew it, this raid is gonna be a cake walk.

"ReeeeeeEEEEE"

The sound of a machine was heard and after that—

"TARARARARARARARARARARARA!"

Dyne squad member: GHigh! A-AaAAAAH! *Dead*

The bullets destroyed his cover and he got shot to smithereens. The mini-gun dropped multiple bullet shells as they all disappeared into red pixelated polygons…

?: Hm… He! *he smiles*

Back in the roof

Sinon: Uh!

You: the way that guy is smiling… it's pretty menacingly.

Kureha: could it really be that Death gun guy everyone is talking about?

You: I don't think so… Death gun used a gun, not a mini-gun. This guy must be very brave… or very insane.

Sinon: Igh! *she begins running*

You: Sinon! Wait up!

Kureha: you can't go out there alone!

Meanwhile in the fields

Dyne: Duck!

"TARARARARARARARA!"

Dyne: crap. Don't let him get closer, fire!

Dyne squad member 3: roger that!

"Pew-Pew! Ta-ra-ra-ra! Pew-Pew"

Dyne's squad members were trying their best to keep him away, but the guy didn't even seemed baffled by them.

Dyne: Damn it, we need to find some cover… but where?

In the mist though, he saw three figures running towards him.

Dyne: Huh? It's (You), Sinon and that other girl.

"Pew-Pew-Pew"

You: Hmph! *I activate my vorpal blade* Haaa! "Clank" Yaaa! "Clank-clank"

Deflecting the bullets, I open a path for Sinon and Kureha to follow. Meanwhile, a massive bullet line is in ym field of vision.

You: igh! Get down, use your speed to slide under, I cannot deflect those bullets!

Sinon and Kureha: Right!

"TARARARARARARARA!"

Sinon and Kureha slide down underneath me as the bullets fire underneath me as I manage to back jump over them, landing me in the same spot Sinon and Kureha landed.

You: that things fires bullets harder and faster than a regular gun, I cannot deflect his bullets.

Dyne squad member 3: you deflected the bullets? Is that even possible?!

Dyne: Bastards… they teamed up with a body guard.

You: body guard?

Dyne: he's a marcher prick who calls himself Bahemoth.

You: Be that as it may, he stills has us pinned down. If we don't do something, we will all die here. As far as I learned, that guy might be a fast shooter but he is really slow, plus that things only got a few more shots. It takes some time to reload a gun like that so we just need to wear him out.

Dyne squad member 2: but what about the other optical shooters? Even with our defenses, it won't be enough to avoid getting shot by that Bahemoth guy.

You: then avoid getting shot by them. Their bullets don't fire as fast as a live amo gun, with your speed you guys are able to avoid it. You guys just didn't do it before because of your defense shields but you can actually dodge the bullets from the optical guns.

The squad members looked nervous but interested.

You: if you can get closer to the optical gun shooters, kill them with your knives, save your ammo then get out of the area but make sure you all are heading out at the same time but in different directions. That mini-gun can shoot at a large area but it can also be worn out and overheat, we just need to avoid its line of fire.

Sinon: I agree with his plan.

Dyne: screw that, its suicide! That mini-gun will turn us into confetti!

You: then do you have a better plan?

Dyne: *he groans* we surrender. We can just log out and save us the trouble of getting killed.

You: log out? That's your solution? What if that weren't an option, what if you couldn't log out or escape? Running away won't solve your problems.

Dyne: well what other choice do we have? This is just a game anyways. Even if we charge at him, we will die.

Sinon: Then die!

Everyone: Uh!

Sinon: *he grabs him by his coat* it is just a game so you can at least have the balls do die in it instead of whining! Take a note from (You's) book and do something instead of running away! He is in charge of this operation now!

Dyne: Igh... *he sighs in defeat*

Kureha: Hmm…

Sinon: (You)… what's the plan?

You: Mm… right. What do you all have at the moment?

Dyne Squad member 2: I got 3 sets of ammunitions and three grenades still saved up.

Dyne squad member 3: I got a shock detonator, 2 flash grenades and 5 more round of ammunition.

You: alright. That guy's machine gun needs time to warm up so it can start shooting, we got that exact time window to throw this off. Kureha, you still got your SMG gun?

Kureha: never leave home without it.

You: Good. Alright, here's the plan. You will fire one grenade to the right side of the squad, once they got their attention on the grenade, I will move out first. Sinon, you and Dyne will advance after I move out. Kureha, you will provide higher ground cover, try to take their attention away from us, especially the Bahemoth guy but once he notices you, get out.

Kureha: Right.

You: you two will stay here and provide cover, try to shoot the optical users. You will use a flash grenade to blind them and try to take them out. As a final resort, throw that last grenade.

Dyne's squad members: okay.

You: Okay, remember. That guy's bullet line is bigger than our bodies, if worst case scenario, he gets his mini-gun warmed up faster than we anticipated, run with all you're might. Don't let him shoot you, try to make him run out of bullets or make his mini-gun overheat.

Everyone: Right.

You: *I whisper through my ear piece* did you get that?

Kirito through ear piece: Yeah.

You: Good, I am counting on you. Is everyone ready?

Everyone: yeah!

You: Kureha, were heading out, I am counting on you.

Kureha through ear piece: Roger.

You: Three… two… one… GO!

Jumping over the wall, I activate my vorpal blade and also equip my live ammunition gun.

"Pew-Pew-Pew!"

You: Igh! "Clank-Clank-Clank!" Hmph! "Bang-Bang!"

My shots hit the walls they were hiding from which was exactly what I wanted.

You: Now!

Squad member 2: Take this! *he fires a grenade*

The grenade lands on the other side of the wall and the squad member's panic.

Enemy players: Watch out!

"KA-BOOOOM!"

The walls falls down and the players were still alive but vulnerable.

Dyne squad member 2: fire!

Both squad members begin firing at the players and soon enough, their HP Drops to zero and "Dead" logos appear above them.

Bahemoth: Hm… "ReeeeeEEEE—"

Kureha: Oh no you don't! "Swoooosh!"

Bahemoth: Hmm?

"KUUURPOOOOW!"

Bahemoth: Igh… *he covers his face with his arm*

The impact of the explosion created a small dust cloud which covered his field of vision. We might be able to see the bullet lines.

"VROOOOM!"

Bahemoth: Igh! Huh?

But my intentions aren't to shoot him.

You: HEAAAA!

"VROOOM! SCHREEWWWVROOOM!"

Bahemoth: Igh! Damn it! "ReeeeeeEEEEEEEEEE"

"TARARARARARARARARARARA"

Bahemoth: Show yourself!

Bahemoth just kept shooting and shooting through the cloud of dust but wasn't shooting anyone. I was hiding behind a building.

You: Sinon, Dyne shoot!

Dyne: REAAAAAAAAAAH! "Ta-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra!"

Bahemoth: Grr! *he aims at Dyne*

As Bahemoth was preparing to shoot, his right eye looked at the side as a bullet line was in his field of vision.

Sinon: Hmm… "BANG!"

With little time to react, Bahemoth evades the bullet but cuts off a pair of glasses that I have never seen before. Now his entire face was exposed.

Bahemoth turned his attention to Sinon who was left defensless on the ground. A massive bullet line was in her field of vision and Bahemoth was getting ready to shoot.

Dyne: Damn it! Sinon!

?: HEAAAA!

Bahemoth: GAAAAGH!

Bahemoths head gets a kick to the knee as Rei stands in front of him with her sub-machin gun ready.

Rei: "Ta-ra-ra-ra-ra-ra!"

Bahemoth: Ghigh! Ghiigh! "ReeeeeEEEEEEEE"

"Bang!"

Bahemoth: Igh!

Bahemoth's attack gets cancelled once again as Kirito fires from a distance and runs towards Bahemoth.

Kirito: HEEAAAAA! *he tackles Bahemoth*

Using his body, Kirito Slams Bahemoth to the ground but Bahemoth manages to kick Kirito hard and get back up on his feet… thankfully though… he dropped his mini-gun.

Bahemoth: Ghigh!

Kirito: Now Rei!

Rei then fires a set of ropes from her arms and ties Bahemoth up.

Bahemoth: Ghigh! What is this?! Let go of me!

Rei: I can't hold him much longer!

You: Fire!

"Ta-ra-ra-ra! Pew-pew! Bang!"

Everyone begins to fire at Bahemoth and his HP begins to lower down.

Sinon: Hm… *she begins to run inside the tower*

Bahemoth: Ghigh! GEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Rei: I can't hold him any longer.

Using his muscles, Bahemoth rips through the ropes and grabs his machine gun.

You: Take cover!

Bahemoth: "ReeeeeEEEEEE—TARARARARARARARARARA!"

Dyne and Kirito manage to find cover but Rei and I were still exposed because we were on the opposite side from the buildings. Everything behind us was just the fields.

Bahemoth: *he smiles at me*

You: Hmm… *I stared back at him*

Bahemoth stared at me trying to intimidate me… but it wasn't working. I don't know if it's because I've faced scarier faces in even scarier people, or he was just dumb looking. Either way, it catch him a bit off guard. His smile disappeared.

Bahemoth: you don't seem to be afraid… you aren't like any of the other dorks I've killed before. They would always scream for help and mercy whenever I smiled at them. Some even decided to run away… but not you… you stayed and fought back and even though you might be scared, you are looking at me straight in the eye, keeping your nerve. Not a lot of players like you… *he aims at me*

A massive red bullet line was in my field of vision.

You: Hmm… *I aim my vorpal blade*

Bahemoth: Totally defenseless and still willing to fight. I like you, you got guts… "ReeeeeEEEEEE" it will be a pleasure to take down someone as strong as you.

You: hehe… I am not the strong one here.

Bahemoth: whats that supposed to mean?

You: I'm a rookie player. This here is my Arfa-sys, she still has a lot to learn and quite frankly, she isn't the best Arfa-sys in all of GGO… yet. We are still fighting to get her strong. If anything, she and I are the weakest of everyone here, you want to fight someone strong? She is up there.

Bahemoth: Huh?

Looking at the tower behind, he see's Sinon right at the top, getting ready to fire.

Bahemoth: Grr, damn it!

The bad thing was that he's mini-gun was already warmed so he was able to shoot pretty quickly at Sinon.

Sinon: Igh!

"BOOOOOM!"

The building explodes with dust and smoke.

Bahemoth: Hehahahahaha! H-Huh?!

Sinon leaped from the building as her left leg got cut off from the bullets, she was going to shoot Bahemoth in mid-air.

Bahemoth: Grr… GREAAAAAAAA! "TARARARARARARARARARARARA!"

Using the air and swiftness of her body, Sinon moved forward avoiding the bullets.

Bahemoth: GHIIIIIGH!

Sinon: Hrrrrr!

Bahemoth: GHIIIIIIIGHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Sinon: *She aims at Bahemoth*

Bahemoth: AAAAAAAAAH! "P-pop! Schreeeeeeew…" Igh!

You: His mini-gun overheated! Sinon, now is your chance!

Sinon: Hrrr! You're dead! *she says with a menacing face* "BANG!"

The bullets burns through his head to his entire body.

You: Sinon! *I catch her* Pugh! *we both fall down from impact*

Bahemoth: Aaaaaaaagh… *he explodes into red trickling polygons* "Dead"

Dyne squad members: Uh… *they stare in shock*

Dyne and Kirito: *they emerge from their covers*

You: Igh… you okay?

Sinon: I am, thanks to you. Thank you for catching me.

You: No problem.

Dyne: Did we… really do it?

Dyne squad member 2: I can't believe it… I thought we were goners but… we actually killed him.

Dyne squad member 3: He… Hehe… wow, this feels good.

Dyne: Say, why didn't you finish him up?

You: Hmm?

Dyne: he had his back turned against you, you could have finished him off… why didn't you?

You: Mm… because… she told me that he was her target.

Dyne: Huh?

As I pointed at Sinon, she looked away with a slight emberassed face.

You: she said she wanted to defeat him because he looked strong. I don't get it but… she said that he was her target and as her friend, I understood… so I left him at Sinon's care.

Everyone: …

Kureha: Still though, that was totally insane, the way you jumped out of that building and killed him in mid-air, it was like you were flying.

Dyne's squad members: Yes! You really were amazing!

Everyone began to surround Sinon with excitement which made her a bit uncomfortable.

Dyne: alright, that's enough.

Everyone: Uh…

Dyne: Today's victory was on you guys. We tried to run away but… you all were brave enough to take them down. Todays victory is on you. I can see now that you aren't just a lucky shot. You got skills and quite an amazing sense of will. Not many players like you, that Bahemoth was right… you are special. Are you the leader of this squad?

You: Uh, well… we aren't actually a squad, if anything, we are just a party.

Dyne: I see… you should consider making a squad. I heard from a semi reliable source that in the next update, there is going to be a new event that is almost similar to BoB but it will require squads. You guys could make a name for yourselves.

You: Ehehe, we appreciate the advice.

Dyne: *he sighs* come on, lets get going. It was nice teaming up with you five. Here is your cut.

Dyne then transmites 200 thousand credits.

Dyne: that's just half of the amount those guys dropped, they were really looted. Especially that Behemoth guy, it must have been his payment those monster hunters paid to keep them safe. Anyways, nice teaming up with you.

Dyne and his squad begins to move out and the five of us are left.

Kirito: So, what do you think?

You: his motives aren't what Kikuoka said to be, I think he is clean.

Kureha: clean? Clean of what?

You: O-Oh, nothing. We were just wondering what his motives were. They weren't any different from the regular players who hunt down players in these parts.

Rei: hey master.

You: What is it Rei?

Rei: I've sensed a missing part… in that big scary guys mini-gun.

You: a part in his mini-gun?

Rei: Yes, I told Kirito about it and he said that we had to beat him in order to get it.

You: that must have been what you were discussing in that building. I don't see any parts though…

Rei: There…

Rei begins moving the sand with her hands, she was digging right in the spot Bahemoth died and after a while, she was holding a part.

You: Hm…

The part belonged to her hands, it was a part that contained mini-guns for hands.

You: Whoa!

Sinon: what is it?

You: this part will allow Rei to shoot mini-like guns from her hands.

Sinon: Fire bullets from her hands…?! That's incredible.

Kureha: these parts keep getting crazier and crazier.

You: lets see…

Using the main menu, I equip Rei with her new hands. Her hands glow white light and then quezes her palms.

Rei: I can feel the upgrade master.

You: okay *I activate my vorpal blade* test it out on my, shoot as many as you can and I will defelct them.

Rei: are you sure master?

You: it's okay, even if you kill, I will just come back.

Rei: but I can't hurt my master.

You: you are not allowed to hurt your master if you are not permitted but I am giving you permission. Its fine, don't worry.

Rei: Mm… okay…

Rei's hands then begin breath out a smoke of gas and after that, her palms turn into mini-gun barrels and from there.

"TARARARARARARA"

You: Hmph! "clank-clank-clank-clank-clank"

Rei: "TARARARARA-clink" I am out of bullets.

You: Its okay. *I swing my vorpal blade to my back* U-Ugh, dang it…

Kureha: Mm…

You: Either way, we know it works.

Kirito: that was amazing. Now Rei can fire even without a gun.

You: yeah, but getting bullets for her is gonna be a pain.

Sinon: Well, at least we made some progress today. We should head back and get some rest. The BoB tournament is going to start soon, we should get registered soon.

Kirito: Right. Come on, lets go.

Kureha: (this all seems… too weird… the three of them seem to have too much experience in these life or death situations… they did say they used to play together… but what kind of game would require such skills of survival… what is it that you are not telling me (You)? don't think I'd fallen for all the lies you've told me… I knew you were lying from the very beginning… why won't you tell me?)

To be continued…
