Ashi Blades (An SAO Fanfiction)

Chapter 13

My eyes opened almost immediately.

I remembered the previous events. And that passion was to kill me. I began crying, and crying, and crying. I had loved Falckon, I wanted to get an SAO marriage. But how could he betray me like so? I thought we were friends. I thought he was the second leader of the Bladed Orchids, but I appear mistaken.

The door on the other side of the room creaked open. Usu and Joshuo walked in, faces bathed in gloom.

"Hey," said Joshuo, kneeling down by my bedside, "you okay?" I said nothing but stared blankly at the nougat-colored ceiling. I glanced at Usu who kneeled beside him. She suddenly smiled.

"Joshuo and Maralie got an SAO marriage, Ashi. Isn't that great?" She said softly, nodding at Joshuo to pull his menu down for proof. Yep, defenitely married. His inventory was doubled into two windows, the one on the left his and the one on the right Maralie's, as the text box above her items indicated. He closed his menu and looked past me at the window. He gasped, and I turned my head.

"The sisters! With--with Falckon? I thought we restrained him!" He spewed, face getting red. He dashed out of the room, followed by Usu. Her auburn hair flailed wildly behind her, and as soon as she turned the corner she disappeared. Sitting up, I pulled down my menu. Hoping to see Falckon decided to have an SAO marriage with me, I opened my inventory. No double window. It was fine, though, I thought, as I pulled out my armor and sword. I had bought a new one, the Eagle, it's called. I slowly sat up from the bed and slowly walked to the threshold of the door. When I made it there, I peered down each side of the hallway.

Maralie came running down the further end from the stairs, gasping. As she ran by, she grabbed my wrist and tugged me along. Struggling to keep up, I fumbled and tripped and stamped down the creaking stairs. We dashed past other rooms and the front desk and out the shabby doors. We ran in the shade of the alleyway and out into the central of the secondary town.

Falckon stood in the middle of the two sisters, both of them holding onto him tightly. They were chanting a foreign language.

"Aruma bahai seki trawg..." I heard them faintly. Maralie and I tiptoed forward, and looking around I finally saw Usu and Joshuo sneaking from the other side. We tiptoed until we were in killing range.

They whipped around. "Oh!" Exclaimed the shorter one, smiling sheepishly. "I did not expect to see you here." She was sweating. SAO programmed it to where you can only sweat from guilt or lying, not from the heat. At least my body won't cry constantly.

"Hello," said the taller one, instantly letting go of Falckon's hand. His eyes were blank.

"You're doing something!" Usu choked out the words, in the verge of tears, "you little... You little... Growl!" She couldn't come up with a good enough of a comeback.

"Show us your true selves. Immediately." Commanded Joshuo, stepping defiantly forward. The taller girl smirked.

She pulled off a mask that was a replica of her sister's face. Then, she grew smaller. But how? They looked identical. Twins.

Assuming the poses the assumed the first time we meet them, they restated their names at the same time, with the same exact words.

"I'm Rew! And we are the Disastrous Twins, rumored throughout the game of SAO, known to provide destruction with a nonexistent force in this game: Magic!"

"I'm Lettie! And we are the Disastrous Twins, rumored throughout the game of SAO, known to provide destruction with a nonexistent force in this game: Magic!"

The cackled together at the end, slugging each other in the arm. I slapped my face with a look of disgust.

"We act nice at first," said Lettie, with a high pitched voice.

"Until we burst," said Rew, with the same voice.

"With bloodlust."

"And with we thrust."

"The force of magic to the victim."

"And for us, there is no minimum."

"No maximum."

"Infinity deaths."

"We hunt down."

"And posses and torture."

"And in the end."

"That person."

"Exists no more."

They cackled. Rew stood up and went onto the ledge of the fountain and walked back and forth.

"You see," she began, "we possessed little Falckon here, and programmed him, if you will, to kill each and every one of you. Then himself. Then, we would move on to our next victims, so on, so on. What worries us though is that the Assault Team of SAO has already reached Floor 79, while the rest of us only about Floor Five or Six. They are close to clearing the game, while Father has ordered us, and I quote, 'kill them all before the game us completed. Fail, and you will be stuck there forever.'"

Lettie cackled, stepping below her sister. "You see, out father is Kayaba Akihiko. He created this game. For us."

My blood boiled with rage. I glanced at Falckon, his eyes blank, laying on the light brown cobblestones. He shook violently.

"You little brats! You conduct witchcraft that does not exist in this game! You hacked the system just to murder everybody for your father's pleasure!" The words just spilled out of my mouth. I couldn't stop them from boiling out, like Niagra falls times four hundred speed.

I took the Ra out of Falckon's sheath as he began to laugh wildly. "How-How can I... I stop this...?" I asked them, glaring at the twins. "And... You being taller... You hacked the magic that w-was scratched from the game's plans... You... Be-beast..."

Rew smiled at me. "To stop this, you kill us. And yes, I did hack the system for illusion magic to make a replica of my sisters face and to make me taller."

The words kill us struck me like a bullet. I smiled. I walked up to them with the Ra in hand. They were too distracted with enjoying my friend's faces, that they didn't notice me creeping closer. I went for Rew first. I shoved the sword into her stomach twisting if violently. Nothing. It's a safe zone. I nodded at my friends to help me. Together, me and Joshuo restrained the fighting Rew and brought her out to the blaring sands, as the same with Lettie, Usu and Maralie. We tied them to the same tree, gagging them too.

"This is what I felt, you brats," I said, shoving the sword back into Rew, slowly turning it. She tried screaming, but the gagged prevented it. Lettie's throat was slit for a quick death. I soon got bored torturing Rew, so I ended her. I glanced up at our cursors lingering above our heads.

Red. And mine too.
