The Black Swordswoman ( An SAO fanic FemKiritoxAsuna )

The world of Swords part 3: End of Episode 1

After the light engulfed both Kirito and Klein they found themselves in the middle of a coliseum located in the town of beginnings, they were surrounded by at least 200 other players and with more arriving by the second. In a couple seconds the coliseum was filled with what Kirito presumed to be all 10,000 players currently playing Sword art online, all of them arriving by a blinding light just as Kirito and Klein. Thousands of players were mumbling to each other trying to figure out what was going on, As Klein was surveying his surroundings Kirito muttered " someone activated a force teleport... ". Soon after Kirito said that the bell stopped its song and the only sound in the air was all 10,000 players talking among themselves. As both Kirito and Klein were trying to figure out what was happening they heard " Hey look! Up there! ", As Kirito looked up, " he " saw a red hexagonal error message that suddenly expanded to fill the sky of red, almost like the clouds themselves were bleeding crimson. Then blood started to drain through the cracks in hexagonal pattern coating the sky, as it did it can together to form a humanoid figure in a crimson cloak, the identity of which Kirito assumed was the game master. People started to catch on and with so the murmurs grew in number and volume, people were confused they needed answers, soon. " Attention players " said the crimson cloaked man in a powerful and serious tone that was equally as Stoic " I welcome you to my world ", It took Kirito a moment to figure out what he meant by that. " My name is Akihiko Kayaba the inventor of the NerveGear and creator of Sword art Online, and as of this moment i am in control of this world ", Kirito thought back on the book she was reading earlier it was about Kayaba, her hero a man who pushed the bounds of what humanity found possible and came out on top. People were were sceptical " whoa is that really him! ", " he's the guy who made the NerveGear? ", " OH MY GOD YOUR MY HERO!!! ". Kayaba continued " I'm sure all of you have noticed an item missing from your main menu... The logout button " He then opened his own menu to help emphasize that he was being serious. Kayaba opened his main menu only to find that the log out button was missing as he said " This is not a defect in the game, I repeat this is not a defect. This is how Sword art online was meant to be played ".

" He's kidding right Kirito? " Klein turned to his friend only to see him listening intently to The man who proclaimed to be Kayaba Akihiko. '' You can no longer log yourself out of SAO, and no one from the outside will be able to remove the NerveGear from your head. If anyone attempts to do so a transmitter inside the NerveGear will send a microwave transmission to your skull, destroying your brain and ending your life. ", no one appeared to take what he said seriously saying things like " Oh come on that's such B.S.! " and " pfft let's get out of here ". As a pair of players tried to leave the coliseum an invisible barrier stopped them in their tracks causing tensions to rise even more so. Klein to was one of these players saying to his black haired friend " yeesh can you believe this cra- " Klein stopped as soon as he saw Kirito's face, Kirito was far more knowledgeable about the NerveGear than he was so he stayed quiet as Kirito explained " yes i can believe it because it's fully possible, he's telling the truth. The transmitters the NerveGear uses to communicate with your brain are nearly identical to microwaves, if the safeties disabled it could fry your brain. ", Klein retorted " well couldn't someone just cut the power or- ", That won't work said Kirito in a serious yet confident tone " The NerveGear has an internal battery ", to this Klein could only growl and clench his fists. " This is CRAZY!!! Totally crazy! " Klein screamed but was forced to stop due to Kayaba continuing his speech. " Despite my warning many family and friends of players did not heed my warning and attempted to remove the NerveGear, An unfortunate decision to say the least. As a result the game now has 213 less players in it than when it began, they've been deleted from both Aincrad and the real world... permanently. " Kirito and Klein Gasped " 213!?! " Kirito said, stunned " no way i don't believe it! " Klein yelled. " As you can see, news and media have round the clock coverage of everything, including the deaths. In this case it's safe to assume the likelihood of someone removing the NerveGear from your head is minimal at best, I hope this brings you a little comfort as you try to clear the game " Kirito clenched his first together and was basically growling at this point. Kayaba went on explaining the players' situation " It is important to remember the following. There is no longer any way to revive someone in the game, If your HP reaches zero then your avatar will be deleted... forever. And the NerveGear will simultaneously destroy your brain, killing you " Kirito's eyes widened as he thought back to how many times he had been killed during the beta test. " There is only 1 way to escape now, you must make your way through all 100 floors of Aincrad. Defeat the boss in the dungeon and advance to the next floor, make your way to floor 100, beat the boss and you will have cleared the game earning your freedom ". " We can clear all 100 floors.. That's frickin impossible. Even the beta testers didn't make it that high! " Klein said in a voice that was a mix of anger and hopelessness. " Last but not least, I've placed an item in the inventories of every player, please have a look " Kayaba instructed. Kirito opened " his " menu to find said item " a mirror? " Kirito asked in a questionative tone as he pulled it out of his inventory, as he was doing so the spot where Klein was standing suddenly burst into the same blinding light that took them here " AHH! " Klein screamed, Kirito not knowing what was happening called out to him " KLEIN! ". He then looked around and saw it was happening to everyone, then he burst into light so bright it could blind you if stared for too long.
