SAO: Alicization High and Beyond [ Part 2 ]

Unwavering Bonds! [ Pt. 1 ]

Deku:
"......" His dark, cruel eyes met with her sadness eyes.

Asuna:
"All the times... I had with you... I really enjoyed it. Every single moments, every single second with you. So... how come all the times I have with you means absolutely nothing to you? But, not just me... with Kirito, Yuuki, Alice and everyone...! What are we to you now, Deku~Kun...? Doesn't everything we've done together matter to you at all?"

Deku:
"......" Deku looks down as his hair covered up his face, then he spoke. "No." The others eyes widened. "It wasn't for nothing at all. One thing was worthwhile - My friendship with you, Asuna. Kirito, Yuuki and even Alice. Just the four of you... aside my family - You guys are the closest friends I've ever had made with. Kirito... I thought you as my best friend, as we were both just alike but different. Asuna... I... I did thought of you like a sister... but I just couldn't see that at first. But then, the more we get along, the more I get to see it... and same time... I wasn't honest with myself about it."

Kirito:
"You thought... of me as... your best friend?" Kirito's eyes widened as he was surprised. "Then why?! Why doing all this?!"

Deku:
"It's because we're friends... there's more further meaning of destroying you all. As I said before - I don't want no future with you all. I already lost my happiness in this cruel reality of this world... so I don't care about anything else." Then Yuuki bring herself up to Dekarusu

Yuuki:
"Deku... as much as I love you... even now, I still do. But, I know you're suffering and I know how your suffering feels like, you truly love your family... but as you tried your best in your own power to keep them in check. But now, with them gone... you're completely broken... and you tried to bear the pain... but you couldn't take it anymore. But... that's why you have friends to help you out with anything that you really need - Even now. And not just me.. but the 5 five of us will help you. To bring you back to the light." Then Deku Black was irritated

Deku Black:
"Enough talk! No more words! It's no use for reasoning with him!"

Kirito:
"Not that I want to agree with him... but he's right. We have no choice but to fight, like Cardinal said before!"

[ Flashback ]

Cardinal:
("I understand if you two think that you both are one of the reasons why your friend is the way he is now... but like Yuuki said, reach out to him even if it means fighting him; The friend you cherish, the friend you love, the friend who you never forget it's kindness, always there for you, no matter what the outcome is or the situation. That goes for everyone else who also loves and cares about him. Don't let your feelings get to you, bear the pain and keep going through until you find the answers you need.")

[ End Flashback ]

Kirito:
"So let's go guys! Don't hold anything back! Even if he's our friend! Full power!!" Kirito said as everyone unsheathed their swords and was ready to fight against Deku

Deku:
"Come." The first ones to face off against Deku is Kirito...

~Kirito:
"Haaaa!!"
SWING SWING SWING!!
~Deku:
EVADING - CLUTCH - THUD! POW! SWEEP LEG! THUD! POW!!

[ As Kirito tries to swing his sword at Deku... he was missing every single swings until Deku catch his sword and delivers a stun blow and knocks him to the ground and kicks him away, then the girls rushed to him all at once - ]
