Beyond the Horizon [A Sword Art Online X Log Horizon CrossOver FanFiction]

Prologue

[SPOILER ALERT!]

        "Promise me, just one thing. Don't do something dangerous."

The boy, no guy, turned to her and nodded deeply.

The both of them, the chestnut haired girl and the black clad boy continued to talk about things they want and must do in a lighthearted manner.

But somehow, the girl only felt uneasiness despite their intertwined hands.

The boys sensing her uneasiness stopped and look at her, gradually the gap between them lessened into fifteen centimeters.

However, heavy footsteps could be heard from behind them and the girl hastily took a step back.

A jogging man clothed in black casually approached them and with a high pitched voice exclaims "Excuse me," and was asking for directions.

She, intending to answer the previous question raise her left hand when the boy beside her forcefully pulled her by the shoulder, shielding her from the stranger.

"You were following us... weren't you? Who are you?" The black haired boy spoke with a sharp tone.

He was following them? She didn't even notice!

The hazel-eyed girl took one moment again at looking at the suspicious stranger who was a second speechless, but then his shabby demeanor gradually diminished as his eyes narrowed and gleamed in an emotion she didn't understand at first.

"So surprise attacks don't work huh,"

"Just who are you?"

The onyx eyed boy repeated his question only for the man to shrug, shaking his head in an exaggerated manner together with a big sigh.

"Hey, hey, that won't do, did you already forget my face... Oh, over <<there>> I wore a mask, didn't I? But... I never forget about you for even a single day."

"You..."

The tension in the air quickly builds its way in the atmosphere.

The boy pulled back his right hand as he entered a battle stance.

"--<<Johnny Black>>!"

With a low growl, the boy's hand shot up only to grab the air over his shoulder, where his beloved sword, <<Elucidator>>, once was.

"Ku... fu... hahahaha! Nope, no sword!"

The man, Johnny Black laughs manically.                                                                                                       

"Without the sword... you're merely a weak brat aren't you? Even though the face is the same, it's hard to think you're the same Swordsman-sama who beat me up before so badly."

As he spoke, Johnny Black tilts his head to the left and right.

"It's the same for you... what can you do without your proud poisoned weapons?"

"That's unprofessional, judging an armament by its appearance."

Johnny Black moved his right hand behind his back with a snake-like speed and grasp off something from his shirt.

He produced a water-gun like object, is what the girl thought but she held her breath when she saw the boy in front of her stiffens tersely. Her confusion alleviates into fear once she heard the hoarse voice of her beloved.

"That's... the <<Death Gun>>...!"

The black haired boy signaled the girl to withdraw hastily. At the same time he pointed the tip of the umbrella in his left hand, which he had been holding till now at the menacing man.

The hazel-eyed girl took several steps back, eyes never leaving the <<gun>>.

In truth, it was a <<pressurized syringe>>, inside of it was a chemical which could stop the heart, <<Succinylcholine>>.

"<<Asuna>>, run away! Call someone for help!"

After a moment of hesitation, the girl named Asuna turn around and started running not until she heard the voice of Johnny Black from behind,

"Oi, <<The Flash>>! Make sure to let everyone know... that the one who took the <<Black Swordsman>>'s head is me, Johnny Black!"

But it's too late.

The moment she returns was a sight she dreaded to see.
