The Assassin (SAOxOC)

The End of The World

    Asuna and Kirito have been gone for quite some time. Heard they got married and live on floor 22. I'm glad they're happy, don't get me wrong, but we need them now more than ever. I can't go alone in this next boss fight, even with Heathcliff I don't think It's possible. I heard he was calling them in, but who knows when they'll get here. I just hope it's in time. The duel between Heathcliff and Kirito really brought a crowd, hell it even forced Kirito to join The Knights of The Blood Oath, since he lost. Though I can say, there is something off about Heathcliff. I went around asking people if they've ever seen his health bar hit yellow before, and everyone said no.

He's hiding something, and If I can't figure it out, Kirito will. But I digress, I quickly got ready before heading to the plaza on floor 75 where I ended up meeting with Klein and "Agil?! They even got you to come out for this?" "Who're you?" "Right it's been a while, not to mention I look entirely different. It's me, K." "Really?" He questioned before looking over at Klein who just nodded, confirming my identity. "Well It's great to see you again K. I'm glad you're still alive." He looked happy before I saw his eyes glance up at my cursor. When he saw it was red his face turned to disgust.

Luckily Klein noticed and explained my situation to him so it was all resolved fairly quickly. 'There are a lot of people here, and there's supposed to be even more, including Kirito and Asuna. Let's hope they take a break from their married life to come help us out.' I thought before glancing towards the teleporter to see two people teleport in. "Heh. They're here." I said which made both Klein and Agil look at the teleporter to see our long time friends. "Kirito! Asuna! Over here!" I called as they walked over hand in hand and greeted us all "Hey you guys, been a minute." Kirito said, waving as I waved back.

"Yeah since everything is on the last floor. Even longer for you, Agil." Asuna said, giving me a one armed hug. Everyone in the plaza was looking at us, more specifically Me, Kirito and Asuna. No one recognized me but they were not thrilled to see a red player with them, and they were looking at Asuna and Kirito since they haven't really been around for a while. A group of people teleported in suddenly, that group being Heathcliff and his party. He walked ahead of us and opened the dungeon tower for all of us to enter.

We all teleported in the dungeon appearing just outside the boss room. Some people partied up real quick before we opened the door, "CHARGE TO BATTLE!" Heathcliff yelled as he gave a loud war cry charging into the center of the room. After a few seconds nothing happened, "Where is it? Nothing is Happening!" I heard the sound of bones rattling above us "Up there!" Asuna yelled as everyone turned to look up. "It's the-" Klein started but was cut off by Kirito finishing his sentence "Skull Reaper..." The boss dropped from the ceiling landing right in front of two players, slashing one of its scythe arms launching them into the air towards the 5 of us. Asuna went to catch them but they pixelated before hitting the ground.

"That was one hit..." "We are so dead." Klein and Agil said as Kirito and I dashed to help two other players who were about to get attacked. We went to block the attack, Kirito blocking with his dual-blades and me using the long sword to protect his head. Asuna and Heathcliff came up next to us and attacked the boss, "If we block and attack together we can beat this thing." I said as Kirito quickly formed a plan for us. "K, Asuna and I will deal with the scythes. Everyone else attacks the sides!" He yelled loud enough for everyone in the boss room to hear, as he ran up followed by me and Asuna. We all slashed a scythe off an arm of the boss, taking its health down a little as everyone else rushed to attack.

After about 30 ish minutes the boss, The Skull Reaper was on its last hp bar. Asuna, Kirito, Heathcliff and I all rushed the boss activating our sword skill. Asuna used her [Star Splash] Heathcliff used his special skill [Divine Blade] Kirito used his Dark Repulser and Elucidator to use his [Starburst Stream] sword skill and I used my [Crimson Burst] sword skill. The combined attacks finished The Skull Reaper off as we all fell to our knees as it pixelated behind us. Not enough energy to cheer for our victory we all just laid in the boss room in silence.
