Floor 30: Yami, Boss Chamber

"LOOK OUT!"  The sword came crashing down on top of him and lowering his HP to the red zone.  "SINON HELP!"  I ran towards Yuuna with my sword at my side.  I put my sword behind me to activate a sword skill.  My blade charges strait towards the boss and it gets a clean hit.  The boss drops Yuuna and raises his fist.  His fist smacks down on top of me and my health goes down to 6879/8798.  Someone pushes me out of the way as it's other fist comes down.

I pick up my sword beside me and throw it at the boss.  One of it's fourth health bars finally empties and roars.  It's giant Talwar swings at us I barely dodge it.  It hits about 4 people and 2 of them shatter.  The other two seem to be old front-liners and only take about half-damage.  They jump back and pull out some heal crystals.  Yuuna pops up next to me, "Sinon, you okay?"  I look at him, his brown hair falling in front of his eyes.  "I'm fine, just need a few seconds to recover.  You don't look good yourself, maybe you should use a crystal."  He was down in the yellow zone.  

He shook his head, "No, I need to worry about the boss first.  But be careful Sinon, I don't want to lose you."  He gets up and charges at the boss with his hand axe and shield.  I pick up my sword and stand up.  Then I get punched backwards by the boss.  A big red hole appears in my stomach and I see the red triangles floating out.  

My HP reaches the Red zone and next to it I see 1837/8798.  I quickly jump out of the way to avoid the death hit coming at me.  I take a heal crystal out of my pouch and quickly use it and restore about half my HP.  I get up to about 6174/8798 then I see about 5 others get killed.  

Soon it's down to only one health bar.  It roars and throws its talwar.  It jumps by a pillar and lifts it up.  It whacks about 10 more people.  They all dissapear into a flash of blue.  My heart sinks, there are only a few of us left in the boss room.  Do I have to use it?  I open my menu and go through the skill list.  After Kirito died his Dual-Wielding skill went to me, whenever I'm training with it I always use his Elucidator along with my Dispeller of Darkness.  I finally find it in my skill window and equip it.  His Elucidator appears on my back and I draw it out.  

I still haven't gotten used to how heavy it is, everytime I pull it out it always falls to the ground.  But this is my way of remembering the reason I am still here.  After all, he did save me from Death Gun.  I just wasn't fast enough to save him when he needed me...  

I see a piller of white coming towards me and I raise my swords to block it.  My Dispeller of Darkness explodes but my Elucidator blocks the pillar.  I run forward screaming and take the Elucidator and run it up the boss' body.  It screams out and shatters into bits.  A window appears in front of me, Congratulations!  You got the last attacking bonus!  below it I see the item, Revival Item (Lvl 2):  Use it to revive any one person that has fallen.  I can revive someone?  How is that possible?  Is it possible that the Batopsin has the ability to take them out of their comatose state?

Then it ocurs to me, I can revive Kirito...  "Hey nice kill Sinon!  What did you get?"  I turn around to see Yuuna, the leader of the guild I'm in.  "Uhm, nothing good, just a low level shield."  He looks at me with dissapointment, "Awww, that's too bad.  You're not a shield-user either.  Oh well, I'm sure you can sell it for some good money."

I feel bad for lying to him, but if people found out what I have they would try to kill me for it.  He leans in closer to me, "Just remember, the Bulbs of Hope don't accept liars."  I look at him and shake my head.  He walks away with the rest of the guild.  And then I see them.  Asuna, Lizbeth, and Silica.  Ever since floor 29 they have been showing up.  Asuna actually showed some grief in the fact that Kirito died.  Some.

I go up the stairs to see Floor 31 for the first time.  A sign is above the door that says "Hiant".  So that's the floor name.  I activate the teleport gate and say "TELEPORT!  NAMITO!"  The blue engulfs my vision and I find myself back home on Floor 29.  Ever since the incident, I have refrained from Floor 23 and our old home.  I don't want to re-live the fact that I was too late to save him. 

What if I revive him and he shuns me because I didn't save him?  What if he kills me as a payback?  Or if he doesn't, what can I say to him?  I probably would just stand there awkwardly and be like, 'So, uhm.  How was it being dead?"  Yeah... that wouldn't be good.  Also the problem would be about his Elucidator.  I don't know what he did to repair or strengthen it.  So it's durability is almost used up.  If it dissapears before I bring him back...

As I am walking to my house I see Klein.  He sees me and runs up to me, "Shino!  I need your help!  It's Asuna, she's trapped.  She's fighting but there's a non-stop horde of monsters.  She can't teleport out either.  I need as many people as possible!"  I shake my head and agree to join.  I can hear Asuna before I see her.  She's screaming and I see her bar in yellow.  "HELP I'M OUT OF CRYSTALS!  PLEASE!"  

We reach it and it's one of those traps you can enter but can't get out of.  Like a chinese finger trap.  A monster comes behind Asuna and hits her on the back and her bar goes red.  "ASUNA!" I scream as I run towrds the box, Elucidator in hand.
