Chapter 6

Kirito pov:

I awoke to the sound of Asuna saying my name" How long was I out?", I asked her.  She didn't immediately respond but instead hugged me even tighter. A sigh escaped my lips" Asuna, if you don't left go I'll die", he joked, to which she finally looked up" I was so worried", she said. I patted her shoulder" I'm sorry I worried you", I looked around the room to see Klein and his guild were still here" I have really bad feeling about things", I thought.

I stood up" let's go and open the teleporter", I faced the army members" can you guys get back by yourself?", I asked them to which they nodded. We walked out of the boss room, and as soon as we did I chugged a healing potion bringing my HP back to full. When were walking through the terrain of the 75th floor I came to a decision" I want to start a guild", I suddenly said to the surprise of the others" huh, really?", Klein asked me. 

I nodded" yeah, you and fuurinkazan are welcome to join me of course", I told them. Klein seemed to ponder over the idea, then discussing it with the rest of his guild" sure, we'll join", I smiled" great, Asuna", I looked at her to see what she thought of the Idea" sounds like a good Idea, and since you brought it up you already have people in mind who can join this guild,right?", I chuckled.

I smiled at Asuna' of course she would figure that out, I truly can't hide anything from her', on that  note" alright, to start a guild we need to go to the third floor to complete a guild quest, then all we need is a name and we'll be all set", the others nodded along" Klein I'll text you the location to meet us at in the morning, we'll do some recruiting", we finally found the teleporter and activated it" see ya tomorrow", I said. Asuna and I teleported to our home on floor 22, heading straight to bed, to sleep.

The next morning we met up with Klein and his guild in front of Lizbeth's blacksmith" Kirito, Asuna what brings you here", and the next hour we explained our plan, our reason for recruiting her. We did the same for Agil and Silica and with our guild recruitment complete, we left for the third floor. The completion of the quest was easy, I beat the boss by myself, using one << Starburst Stream>> and the boss fell swiftly.

Klein disbanded his guild, and afterwards I created my own" so what are we going to name ourselves", Liz asked. I stroked my chin" how about Swords of night", I suggested, and everyone surprisingly agreed to the name. With that out of the way the guild was complete" let;s head to mine and Asuna's place, I upgraded it to a guild HQ for us, there is enough space for everyone", I declared. Our guild teleported to 22nd floor, and Asuna And I led them to the house" welcome to our new home", I jokingly said.

Everyone chose their rooms, and got themselves settled, and the next two weeks were really chill, Liz, Silica, and Asuna became really close really quick< Klein, Agil, and I got along really well, Liz would badger us we our gears durability went down to far, and we made decent progress in the labyrinth. The best thing to happen though was between Asuna and I, we found this little girl in the woods, and she basically became our daughter, we then found out she was an AI, sadly we lost her, but before that I was able to turn her into an Item.

To honor Yui, that's what her name was, I proposed to Asuna and she said yes, the wedding was small but nice attended by our guild and that was it. Today though, there was a strategy meeting for the boss fight, the boss seems to be very strong, all the scouts died, so we're going in blind, but I was confident we could win. As we stood outside the boss room I faced my guild" when we enter there look out for each other, and please just don't die", having said my piece we entered the boss room.

We surrounded by darkness, and I could only see because of my searching skill being so high, all of as sudden the boss dropped to the floor and killed two players. It aimed it's next swing at Silica, but I intercepted it with a cross block. The second strike was aimed at my side but Heathcliff blocked it with his shield. The leader of the KOB, I fought him not to long ago, and something at the end of our fight made him look suspicious to me.

The fight was crazy but in the end we won, though fourteen players died, none in my guild did. A sigh escaped my lips, relief flooded my body, but my trained eyes were locked onto Heathcliff. My right hand clutched onto my sword, The Elucidator, my favorite, and I activated the one hit dash skill<< Rage Spike>>, he couldn't block it with his shield but he was protected by a barrier that read Immortal object.

He confirmed my suspicion" your Akihiko Kayaba". I declared, a smile crossed his lips" what gave it away?", he asked. I glared at him"the end of our duel, something didn't sit right with me, you shouldn't have been able to block my last attack but you did", I explained. He nodded" I figured that wouldn't get unnoticed, you were just stronger and faster that I expected, I couldn't have chosen a better player to have the << dual blades>> skill", he praised me.

Kayaba then pulled up his menu and paralyzed everyone besides me" I'll give you a chance to end the game, dual me to the death, and if you win the game will automatically end", he offered" I'll obviously will turn off all my advantages", he opened his menu and did what he said he would. I held onto Asuna who begged me to decline" I can't, I owe it to the guild, the black cats, and everyone else to do this, I'm sorry Asuna", I kissed her maybe for the last time and stood up to face him.

I drew both my swords, this fight won't be easy, he designed all the skills I know,b but that won't matter if I use them smartly. I stood across from him, took a deep breath, and then I shot forward at him slashing with my right sword. Right, left, down, left up, right, I attacked in a fast flurry, pushing my self to the maximum. Faster, I need to go faster, up, down, left, right, diagonal, vertical, faster I need to go even faster, I jumped over him, and stuck out but he blocked it with his sword. My sword glowed green<< Sonic Leap>>.

I landed the skill and dealt his HP into the yellow zone, I continued on with my strongest skill<< Eclipse>>, I attacked with new found speed, over and over again. He blocked all the attacks with his shield" I'm sorry Asuna"< I thought to myself, as I tried to pierce through his shield with my left sword. The sword tip broke and the skill ended leaving me open for attack, and Heathcliff aimed to do just that.

Then Asuna's hair filled my vision, and I saw her take the hit for me, I caught her as she fell, and cradled her in my arms" why would you do that", I said, tears streaming down my face. She smiled at me" because I love you", she too cried" Sayonara Kirito-Kun", her body exploded into polygons, and I desperately tried to catch them. My tears hit my hand, as anger flooded my body, I picked up Asuna's rapier, I could hear the cries of my guild, and charged Heathcliff. He easily evaded my sloppy attacks , and knocked the Elucidator from my right hand. He then ran his sword through my chest, I watched my health drain, until it was completely gone" no, I won't fail AGAIN", with one last scream I stabbed Heathcliff in the chest with Asuna's rapier.

His HP drained all the way as well, and with that I died, or so I thought I found myself with Asuna, on a white platform, and standing in front of us was Kayaba. He tried to explain to us what he did what he did, and left but not before telling me he gave me a gift. I kissed Asuna as the the Aincrad castle fell apart, and then I woke up in my hospitable room.

                                                                                                                                                                                                    

Alright that concludes the Aincrad arc, and now we'll move on to the fairy dance arc. From here on out we'll see some more changes, but expect this arc and the phantom bullet arc to be short since I don't plan on changing them much, and I won't even cover Ordinal scale as that arc will stay the same. What I really want to get into is Alicization, there a lot of changes will happen. If you have any Idea's for changes in future arcs, let me know in the comments and I'll try to implement them. Thank you for reading.
