RWBY/Sword Art Online (Discontinued)

Chapter 13: Heathcliff

David and his friends head to the arena to watch the fight between Kirito and Heathcliff.

David: Ok. This is the place. Let's see if Kirito wins so they will both be free.

Ruby: I hope so. I heard Heathcliff has extremely strong defense with that shield he has. So we better keep our fingers crossed on this one. I'm sure that you would easily flank him.

David: Well I am the Green Faunus swordsman after all so yeah. I can get behind his defense.

Yang: Well let's see how it goes then.

Evelyn: I hope Kirito wins.

Penny: Just like Ruby said, fingers crossed.

Evelyn: I know.

Jack: David. You and Penny been in this game for awhile so what title does Kirito goes by.

David: Kirito is known as the black swordsman.

Weiss: He dresses the same as Blake.

Blake: Hey!

The countdown for the duel begins.

Ruby: Here we go.

When the timer hits zero, Kirito starts attacking and Heathcliff blocks with his shield. He then strikes with his sword and Kirito jumps back. Then Heathcliff hits him with his shield.

Kirito: His shield?

Heathcliff charges at him again and Kirito blocks and jumps back, and then uses Vorpal Strike.

Heathcliff: You have great reaction time.

Kirito: Yeah. And you're impossible to break with that defense.

They continue attacking each other.

Asuna: Kirito. Please win.

Kirito starts moving faster.

Kirito: Come on! I have to move faster!

He makes a cut on Heathcliff's face taking out a little of his HP as it's still on the green. Then he uses a sword skill and staggers him.

Kirito: Now's my chance!

When he was doing his final blow, time freezes and Heathcliff moves away from the attack.

Kirito: What?

David: Did time just stop?

When time gets returned to normal, Heathcliff attacks Kirito sending his HP to yellow and the duel ends. Heathcliff wins and the crowd cheers.

Kirito: I lost?

Heathcliff leaves after looking at him for a moment.

David: Umm, Ruby? Did you see what just happened?

Ruby: What?

David: Nothing. Nevermind.

Later on at the 50th floor, Kirito wears a uniform for the Knights of the Blood Oath.

David: Hey, Kirito. Looking good.

Kirito: I wish I wasn't in this outfit. It's too flashy.

Asuna: That's actually one of the simplest outfits. You look great in it.

Kirito lies down on the bed.

Kirito: I can't believe I'm in a guild.

Penny: I can't believe it either.

Ruby: You were originally a solo player right?

Kirito: Yeah.

Asuna: Looks like I got you dragged into this.
