I felt a weird tingle, as my body began to take form in ALO, awaking in Jotunheim. I stood on the entrance to the reformed city, watching a party following a tentacle-thing. I stood slightly shocked, even if Excalibur has been claimed they still try to finish them off.

I swiped down and opened up my menu, opening up my friends list, before right on queue, a message from the man himself.

«Kirito»
Hey man, you coming to join us?

«Shujin»
Yeah, I have something to deal with in Jotunheim.

«Kirito»
Wait at the outskirts.

I blinked a couple of times before releasing a light sigh. I kept my menu open, sitting on a rock nearby. I ran my hand through my now white hair stopping at the pink dip dyed ponytail. I turned my head to the entrance, seeing Kirito run out from the large monument, brandishing «Excalibur». Though I have my distaste for Kirito, see him in-game made me some what happy. I smiled and waved to him, watching him come over to me.

"I hear congratulations are in order!" I shout, as he would be to far to here me normally. He smirks as he reaches me, drawing «Excalibur» from his back.

"Same to you. Surprised you came back to this game after the whole... Incident." He smiles, looking over the to the wilds at the party destroying the "squidephant." This caused him to look on in disgust, while I simply frowned. He moved to the wilds, making a calling noise with his hands. I took this as a hint, standing from my rock and making my way to his position. "So, you gonna help me deal with them?" He just nodded in return. I watched as one of the Lovecraftian-esque monster flew to us. Kirito petted it, as we hoped on, making our way to the party. Once landed, Kirito thanked, "Tonky?"

"Leafa named it." He stroked it before it flew away out of sight. We both turned our attention to the evil party. Who seemed to stare back at us, grinning somewhat sadistically.

"I think I've seen you smile like that before." I giggled, Kirito didn't. "Come on, just joking Kazuto." He shook his head, smiling. We saw the small army begin heading towards us, such a diverse group of murders. I chuckled at my own joke before finally deciding to open my menu. I fast-tracked to my equipment, equipping myself with a staff. I held it in my off hand and turned my head to Kirito, who de-equipped «Excalibur» and equipped both his standard black and blue blades.

The army started there assault, me and Kirito took point, taking off at blistering speeds. There mages assaulted us with a barrage of magic attacks. "Switch!!!" Kirito's words triggered something in me, causing me to dash Infront of him.

"Nú, send þat allr aptr!" I brought my staff in a slashing motion to the barrage of magic skills. My eyes shone a vibrant yellow as the swing connected with each singular fireball, ice shard, ball of darkness or divine arrow. The magical attacks bounced back sending each skill back at its own, however they became more violent and their strength doubled. Some mages managed to dodge the incoming attacks but most were vapourised by there own attacks. "Switch!"

Kirito dived before me, empowering each sword with a different skill. Shredding through his foe, he came across a heavily armoured player, brandishing a gaint blade with a ominous appearance. Kirito began targeting the two-handed bladesman, while I cleared up with the stragglers. After defeating all the weaker soldiers I turned my attention to Kirito and the Bladesman, or just the Bladesman. Thats when I felt the woosh go past my head. I glanced back seeing Kirito, flat on his back. "Ki-Kirito!!"
