Rising

///February 1st, 2223\\\

 Today was the day. My forces gathered 25 light seconds away. Others forces would be gathering. We weren't just taking Kirito. We were taking the planet, the solar system and hopefully nearby ones too. I read a counter on the display on my ship. 5 seconds. Then in a flash we were there in orbit heading into Añima. Añima was the 4th planet from its star, a bright white star. 14 planets, 6 gas giants, 8 rocky planets, 5 of which support life. I dropped to the planet in black armor made of nanostructured titanium silicon. It was made of a few interlocking plates with silicon nanoparticle sheets on the joints for movement and keeping protection. Soldiers marched and they quickly spun and shot. Smoke curled around my arm forming a curved disc in my hand and a beam of fire shot out burning the men. Charred corpses dropped to the ground. I focused energy and and leapt into the air smoke trailing behind me. The whites of my eyes turned black and my iris turned to a radiant, glowing green. I summounded my blade. I changed gravity and shot myself at a convoy. I landed at the end as I crashed into the tank blade first causing it to explode throwing the humvees next to it on it's side with tremendous force. I heard a helicopter closing in. The humvee in front of me turned it's gun. I ran forward as it shot loudly. I slid under the vehicle and changed gravity upward for me. I ripped through the humvee and shot through the turret gunner. He exploded in an explosion of blood, bone shards, brain bits and organs. I focused more energy. The tank in between my next targets vanished in a shattering of energy as it split into its individual atoms. I fired a bolt of white hot plasma at the humvee that was behind the tank. It exploded into a fountain of molten metals. I shot through the molten metal as I crashed into the next humvee splitting it in half, throwing each half a few feet away. I heard the screams of the people in the back passenger seats as they were bathed in molten metal. A man climbed out of the passenger seat. He was stumbling and bleeding from the lip. He shot at me three times and missed. I focused light and his throat opened up and blood poured out as fell to the ground. I charged to the back of the next one. I cut into it turning Akaalist into a dagger. I jumped into the back cutting the throat of the man in the left back seat. I turned to the right and stuck the blade into his eye socket. He went limp instantly and the soldiers in the front shouted something in some language. The man in the passenger seat pulled his pistol. I grabbed the gun with blinding speed and twisted it out of his hand tossing it to my right hand as I grabbed his throat and shoved his head through the window. Then I shot the drive painting the window in grey matter and blood. I summounded Akaalist in full blade form as I hopped out through the turret. The helicopters I had heard had appeared. I focused energy and changed gravity. In an instant they were turned and pulled toward each other. The exploded in wondrous glory. I turned to see the last humvee zooming down the road. Fuck. I turned gravity to launch me toward the humvee, I kicked the turret gunner in the head and hopped in. I kicked the other soldier in the backseat in the head, his head bouncing off the window. I grabbed the pistol from the holster of the soldier in the passenger seat and slammed it against his head. I cocked the pistol and shot the driver and quickly opened the door and shoved him out. I then moved out as well and climbed to the roof. The turret man spun on me and I fired a round into his skull. I crawled over and tossed his corpse out. I crawled to the sided and opened the driver door again pulling the soldier previously in the passenger seat out and shooting him in the neck. I then climbed in and shot the final soldier in the head using my telekinesis to move him out. I closed the driver door and made the illusion of other passengers. Then I started driving.

I drove for about an hour. I found the entrance to the Fort of Kirito. I had gathered a strike team. We'd go in, take down the teleportation shields, kill the opposition and start carting out equipment and of course kirito. My team was a few soldiers and most of the people with MCWs. Ryan was elsewhere. He had a small 5-cube placed in his heart to save his life and power his arm during the DWW. It also gave him the ability to slow time to an extreme level. We teleported into the fort. The halls were black with dim lighting. I summounded Akaalist and impaled one of the soldiers as Shadow Gladiator impaled the other. We walked down the hall. We turned the corner and guards quickly raised their guns and fired. Ninja Z rushed forward quickly swinging the photokatana at high speed and blocked all bullets. We rushed forward. We stepped into a massive room with thousands of rows of pods of glowing blue fluid with Kirito inside. At the end of the room sat a larger, rectangular vat with an atrophying man with white hair lay in it. He hadn't moved likely in centuries. Projecting his consciousness on his clones. At least that was fast.

"Go eliminate the targets and shut down the field, I'll take inventory here," I said. Shadow Gladiator nodded and walked away with the rest. I walked around counting the pods. 8,675 pods. 8,675 clones in stasis. I heard the sound of gunfire and a the lights flickered. That would be the teleportation. Soldiers moved in and took in the devices. Kirito was wheeled away in his vat. AINCRAD would fall.
