*Don't play the music yet!*

Kirito's POV:

I woke the next morning and felt warmer that usual. I looked to my left and saw a (HC) hair covered head, facing away from me. It was (YN). She was sound asleep so I went next door to see if the others were up yet. As I entered, whet I thought was true. They were both awake and playing games they had made up. "Good morning you two!" I said brightly.
"Hey Kito!" Said Max.
"Kiro!" Shouted Olivia.
"What you both up to?" I asked them.
"Playing games! You want to join Kiro?!" Asked Olivia.
"Yeah sure, why not!" I replied, receiving beaming smiles back to me. 'Now I understand why (YN) likes them so much' I thought. After that we started playing games and talking to each other, for what seemed to be hours.

About 2 hours later a fully armoured up (YN) came into the room. "Hey guys!" I (YN) shouted.
"Mommy!" Liv shouted and ran to (YN) and started hugging her.
"Mum!" Max said and also went up to her and started hugging her waist as (YN) picked up Olivia. I chuckled. It was really cute.
"Um... Kirito can you help me a bit, I need to talk to you?" (YN) asked. I nodded and walked over to her.
"Come on, Max, Olivia, you stay in your room. Me an (YN) will be outside if you need us. OK?" I asked and they nodded. The two of us walked out the room and shut the door.
"What's wrong?" I asked her curiously.
"What are we going to do with them in the fight?" (YN) said, getting straight to the point.
"They can stay behind us I guess?" I said, making it sound like a question, unintentionally.
"Ok then, I guess that's sorted." She replied relieved. "What is the time?" She then asked. I looked at the clock behind her and replied,
"8:45. Why?"
"We need to go, now!" She said going back into the room we had just vacated.
I grabbed my stuff and some extra stuff like crystals. Healing, strength and teleportation. I also grabbed some healing potions invade anyone got hurt.   The others all came out the room and we ran to the teleportation pad. We reached it in 5 minutes and teleported to the spawn. Everyone was already there and waiting for us. Diabel approached us.
"Ah, seems like your finally here. Well your squad B and will be doing the sentinels. OK? And what are you going to do with those two?" He asked as he got in earshot of us.
"Well sorry about that but they're coming with us." Explained (YN).
"Right, see you in a few. Please find a seat." Diabel replied. We nodded and found a seat.
"We're going with you?" Asked Max.
"Well yeah but you have to stay behind us. Please. I'm begging you!" Said (YN) trying to explain to in a non-complex way so the 5 and 6 year olds could understand. They both nodded and then Diabel stepped forward.
"Ahem! Everyone listen please! Today is the day of the battle and before we go to the room, I would like to say one thing. Let's win!" As he finished he fist pumped the air and everyone cheered and clapped. "Everyone follow me and stuck in your parties!" Ordered Diabel. Everyone stood up and followed Diabel and we finally exited the meeting area. We were the last out and as soon as we were out all we could hear was people cheering us on and clapping and whooping. We all smiled and carried on to the dungeon room.

We got there by about 10:30am and as we got there Diabel turned to us all and reminded us "Let's win!" And everyone roared as Diabel opened the door. A large blue bull, that was standing on its hind legs. It's game card read 'Illfang the Kobold Lord'. It definitely looked like an ill natured Lord. Little sentinels charged from around it and everyone else, who's job was presumably to kill the Lord, was already occupied in their job.
"Remember what we told you. I'm begging you two to stay behind us and don't come out. OK?" (YN) begged to the two kids and I started to reach into my pockets for the extra crystals. I gave a teleporting one to both as well as a healing crystal and potion each. When we finished our discussion, they walked ban a bit and let us do our stuff.

Sentinels came charging at us. They looked like the little toys soldiers I used to have back in reality. 'Focus Kirito, you can't think about that now.' I told myself. I went forward and slashed at it about 5 times and then I moved back and shouted the words "Switch!" To (YN). As she moved forward I couldn't see the end of her sword. I couldn't predict her next move like I could for most. She slashed at it and then all of a sudden something slashed at her and hit her against the stone sides of the room. I ran over, the siblings following over. When I reached (YN) she was unconscious and breathing unevenly. I looked at her HP and realised, with shock and anger, that it had 5% left. I tried to use healing crystals and potions but they barley did anything. "Oh god." I muttered to myself. I watched as (YN)'s HP started to slowly go down, quicker and quicker until it finally reached 1%. Just as it was going to hit 0%, game over, (YN) chocked, coughed and opened her eyes, groaning.
"What happened?" She asked weakly.
"Illfang hit you against the wall and you sorta went unconscious and your HP went down to 1 and then you woke up." I explained. I used a crystal on her and her health went up and finally stopped at 100%. She tried to stand but as she put weight on her feet, she collapsed and I caught her before she fell.
"Stay here and get stronger, wait, actually." I said reminding myself of the strength crystals I had. I pulled one out and used it her. She instantly stood up and was able and not collapsable.
"Let's go and fight, shall we?" Asked (YN). I nodded and unsheathed my sword and activated my sword skill.
"Let's go." I responded.

We had finished of the sentinels and were now gonna go for the boss. Suddenly Diabel shouted "I've got this!" And charged the Illfang as he changed his weapon. It wasn't why the book said it was. Oh damn was he in trouble now.
"No! Diabel! It's not-" (YN) started but he stopped and started running towards a figure fly across the room. Diabel. I stayed put and Max and Olivia came behind me. They attempted to push past to get to (YN) but I made them stay back, meaning no harm. Then an angelic voice filled the room and even Illfang stopped fighting.

*Play music now!*

"You shout it out,
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud, not saying much
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up

[Chorus - Sia:]
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium

[Sia:]
Cut me down
But it's you who'll have further to fall
Ghost town and haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much

[Chorus - Sia:]
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium
I am titanium

[Bridge - Sia:]
Stone-heart, machine gun
Firing at the ones who run
Stone heart loves bulletproof glass

You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
I am titanium"

Illfang dropped dead as Diabel turned into crystal polygons. Everyone cheered and clapped but not everyone. Someone cleared their throat. Ready to speak...
