3 Years can really take a toll on you. It took one for Asuna and Kirtio where the two to be ultimately happy with each other. That was until they had a big argument about something , which made the two separate from each other. Now with Asuna that h...
"Ha-yah!" Said the girl with the red hair as she cut a rock that was some how easy to do. Craig was behind her as he rubbed his head and looked around the cave. "Okay. Since I want to break the ice now, what is your name?" He asked, walking beside her as the both of them kept walking deeper in the cave. The girl sighed as she looked down at the ground and rubbed her arm. "I guess since you told me yours... I have to tell you mines. My name is Rubi. I know it sounds like Ruby, but promise me, it's not...." She said, looking down at the ground and waiting for his laugh to come.
"That's a cute name. Something new. Never heard of it." He said as he kept walking and smiling a bit. Rubi looked at him as she was surprised. "R-Really? W-Well it wasn't like it was for your liking!" She shouted at him as she crossed her arms and looked away with a slight dark red on her cheeks. "Well whatever. But if you wanted to show me something here, what was it?"
Rubi kept walking as she smiled and walked into a small hole and looked around. "Here it is... This is where I found Kiku..." She said as Craig came in behind and looked around in the small cave space. The space had a small sleeping bag with pictures in frames and he smiled and grabbed one of them. "NPCs sure have a backstory with them. Do you know what happened to his mother and father?" Rubi nodded as she sighed and sat on the sleeping bag. "Yeah. His father left him. And his mother died by the boss in this cave. So I found him and he started to call me big sis..." She said sadly as set her sword on the ground and looked at it. "We better get going. It's almost getting to dim outside. Promise me, it's the worse thing to be here after night." She then looked up at Craig as he still held the photo. "Well, there can't be hard enemies out there that me and you can't handle. But maybe your right. I can't risk anyone of us dying." He put the picture back on the rock and started to walk out of the opening. "Rubi, I'll be out here and ready when you come out."
Rubi looked around more as she she then looked at her sword and opened her menu. "Maybe... Maybe we can work together. I can now get that sword if he helps me. And then I can be happy..." She then opened her menu and clenched her fist as she stood up and grabbed her sword and starting to walk out of the small hole. "Okay. Let's get out of here." She started to walk until they felt the ground under them started to rumble loudly with footsteps. Being cautious, both of them pulled out their weapons and looked behind them seeing a cave boss behind the both of them.

Rubi looked at the boss as she smirked and held her shield and sword in her hand. Craig looked at her as he smiled and held his sword. "Okay, how about a plan? So maybe you can get the right side and try to weaken it as I-" As she wasn't listening, she just ran to the Boss's and jumped high, landing on it's rock arm and starting to run up it and cutting it's arm while running. Craig groaned as he started to go after her and started to fight it's legs, trying to knock it down. The monster then kicked Craig away as it then grabbed Rubi from it's shoulder and stared at her, while she tries to get out if it's grip from it grabbing the back of her shirt. She started to flare her arms around as then Craig got from the wall and started to run to her. "Rubi!" He shouted as he then started to become red and growled. "Let her go!" He shouted as he ran to the boss's leg and started to punch it with his fist that were filled with red aura.
After a while, it fell the leg that Craig damaged badly. At the same time, it dropped Rubi as he saw her falling and ran to her and jumping and grabbing her in the air and sliding his back on the ground to protect the fall. Rubi and Craig had their eyes closed tightly until she opened hers and looked around. "C-Craig... Y-You actually saved me... T-Thank you..." She said softly as she stood up and pulled out her sword and shield. "Come on, slowpoke!" Craig rubbed his back as he stood up and groaned. "Wait.... We need to find it's weak point... My attack did do some damage. But not alot. Maybe it's heart can be it." He pulled out his sword and then looked at her. "Yeah... That or it's mask. But how will we get up there? My way didn't work." "Don't worry. I got a way. Just have your shield out and facing up."
Rubi nodded as she started to run, but then stopped in front of the boss, keeping her shield above her head. Craig took a breath as he started to run to her. He closed his eyes as he jumped onto her shield and looked up at the boss. "High Jump activate!" He then got blasted in the air and pasted the monster's face as he started to become red with aura. "I'm not dying... For nothing... Nothing is going to stop me!!" He then started to become total red as he dived down into the monster's mask with his fist out. "Not even you!" He then bust through the mask of the monster and it didn't move for a while.
It then started to have cracks in it's body and it started to crumble down to the ground as the lava around it's body was gone away and Craig came out through the hole in it's heart spot as he came to the ground and slid while panting.

Came a message to the both of them as Rubi came to Craig and hugged him tightly. "T-That was awesome! How did you learn to do that!?" She asked as she sounded excited.
Craig shrugged and looked at her. "I don't know. I fekt like my body had a mind of it's own and started to do stuff it self.... But let's get home." He started to walk with a little limp, but ignored it as he kept waking. That was until he got a message from someone and he quickly looked at it.
Slicia:U-Um... Do you mind helping me... Again? I really need it!
Craig:I... I'll be there. But what is it this time?
Slicia: Nothing! Just in a sticky situation... Hehe...
Craig: Sticky? I don't trust this automatically. I'll be there. Don't die or anything.
