RWBY/Sword Art Online (Discontinued)

Chapter 30: Enter Death Gun

In the world of Gun Gale Online, an MMO livestream for the upcoming BoB/Bullet of Bullets, comes on at a weapon shop.

XeXeed: People seem to ignore the fact that agility is the ultimate stat in this game. Not saying it's not important. A combination of quick firing and evasion certainly makes for a strong build. That's how it always is. Up until now, that is. To the speed freaks who maybe spent eight months raising AGI's, I have two words. My condolences.

Everyone: What?!

Host: As expected, the top player of Gun Gale Online, which is known to be the hardest VRMMO of all time, has a pretty unique take on the matter.

XeXeed: Guess being a guest on MMO Stream is a once in a lifetime chance, huh?

Host: I'm sure you're exaggerating. You're aiming to win the Bullet of Bullets again this year, right?

XeXeed: Absolutely. I'm participating in it, so I'll be aiming for the top.

Everyone: No way!

Yamikaze: You know, XeXeed, BoB is a tournament having to do with solo encounters, right? It's not like the same result will happen every time, so I kind of question your results.

XeXeed: Still, the results to highlight the weakness of the game. You're an AGI type so you would feel compelled to disagree. I actually agree that AGI builds with a powerful automatic was the optimal play style up until now. However, it's natural for an MMO's metagame to evolve. In games with a level up system, stats can't normally be reallocated, which makes it crucial to think ahead when allocating points. The strongest play style in one level range may not be the best in the next. Now, new guns would require higher STR and accuracy bonuses to actually equip them.

Gun User 1: Man, and XeXeed was the one who said AGI's were the best.

Gun User 2: Darn. He screwed us over.

A player with a cloak and a metal skull holding a gun appears.

Death Gun: XeXeed! You fraud. It's time for you to be judged by the face of true power!

A bunch of players start laughing. Then, Death Gun shoots his gun in XeXeed's face at the monitor.

XeXeed: As I said before, when it comes down to that, the players actual skills are what... Huh?

XeXeed starts feeling his heart stop in the real world and he gets disconnected.

Host: It seems like XeXeed has been disconnected. I'm sure this will be resolved momentarily, so don't go anywhere!

All of the players in the shop look at Death Gun wondering what happened.

Death Gun: This is true power, and true strength! All of you will do well to keep this name in your memories! Fear the name and the gun I wield! Death Gun!

A month later, back in the real world, almost a year has passed since Sword Art Online was cleared. Team JADE were chilling out at Beacon.

Jaden: Man. Can't believe it's been almost a year since that death game finished.

Penny: Yeah. The Seed is still doing great. So many VR games.

Evelyn: I know. Wonder what the future will be.

Jack: Who knows? Maybe we should go and visit Kirito. What do you guys think?

Jaden: Yeah. That's a great idea. It's been a while since we payed a visit to Japan. Let's go!

Team JADE enters the Bullhead and they headed off to Japan. Asuna walks down a street in Tokyo.

Asuna: I wonder what the difference is between the real world and the virtual one.
