Ashi Blades (An SAO Fanfiction)

Chapter 11

Skidding to a stop along rough dirt, we encounter two girls screaming at the sight of about five gorillas carrying stone hammers that look like axes. The gorillas grunt and continue stumbling towards the two screaming girls. I took note of their appearances. The taller one had long, swaying, auburn hair, while the shorter one had the same, long flowing hair except it was a dirty orange color. The shorter one wore a Flo Suit, one of the armory available on this floor. The taller one, though, still only had a Tapra Chestplate from Floor Five. I was assuming she was somewhat poor and inexperienced, but I doubted that theory, considering they made it to Floor Seven.

I nodded and Falckon, looking through my inventory for my Guruguru Sword, the strongest on Floor Seven I bought just before the battle. I equipped it along with my Yanu Tunic from Floor Six. I charged alongside Falckon, towards the gorillas. As we got closer, their stats came into view. They were called Blackaxes. Falckon took one, I took the other as the others comforted the two girls as they watched us beat the Blackaxes. I swung around the back and frontside of the Blackaxe multiple times, soon enough confusing it, so I swung back around to the backside and stabbed the Blackaxe with my sword about ten times before it threw it's head back, roared, and faded into blue chips of data that are to be merely forgotten.

I waited for about one more minute for Falckon to finish up his gorilla, and when he did finish we walked over to he group.

The two girls were on their knees. "Oh, how can we ever thank you?" They quipped. "Oh, how? How does Aincrad manage such things?" I groaned somewhat quietly. Pathetic, I thought, crossing my arms.

"Just give us your names, upgrade your gear, and we can be forever known as friends," said Komi, stumbling a little bit as he tries to unsheathe his sword. The two girls contemplated this for a moment. They nodded at each other and looked up.

The shorter one stood up from her position on her petite knees. "I'm Lettie," she said proudly, head held high, eyes closed and hand on chest, her other on her hip.

The taller one stood up, assuming the same pose. "I'm Rew," she said, then they finally both stood like sane, normal people. Before I could say goodbye, Maralie stepped forward.

"You can tag along with us until we reach Floor Eight, if you'd like," she offered. I plopped to the ground dramatically.

MAJOR TIME SKIP, LIKE WOOOOAAAHHHHHH

Floor Eight. Finally away from the underworld that is those sisters. Floor Eight was remarkably beautiful, but we stuck to our Floor Five home. We immediately upgraded our gear and headed off towards the Second Town to find a room, a meal, and the boss chamber.
