The Maverick(Sword Art Online X Male Reader)

Special: Ordinal Scale

Shino: Thanks for the ride. Are you gonna be okay?

Y/N: I should be. Might go on a drive just to reset my thoughts.

Shino: Sounds good. Well....

I took a deep breath before I leaned towards Y/N who had a confused look on his face and pressed my lips against his. He was caught off-guard but he kissed back. I leaned back breaking the kiss and smiled.

Y/N: What was that for?

Shino: Think of it as a way to say that we'll get through this.

Y/N: Ok....

Shino: And it was a power move.

Y/N:What..?

I got out the car and waved him goodbye. He didn't get what I meant but I know that he kissed that Yuuki girl. Gotta make sure she doesn't swoop in and take him. Well she is pretty young so maybe I'm okay for now.....

.......

Shino was right. I should be reliant on my friends more but I guess that's why I called her. Easier said than done though. That's just my damn stubbornness. After I thanked Shino and gave her a ride home, I went for a drive to fully clear my head when I was suddenly given a destination on my nav. I followed the nav until it lead me to the Meiji Shrine. I began walking down the shrine until I reached the other side from there I was met with a sunrise I believe and a large structure. I was also in my OS clothes so that was something. That's when I ran into Yuna once again. I asked her a plethora of questions but she really didn't answer much of them. She told me who Eiji was. He was an SAO survivor and a member of Asuna's Blood Oath guild. He went by Nautilus, unfortunately his fear of dying held him back from really fighting. She told me she wanted to keep on singing and that if I wanted get my friends' memories back, I'd need to be a higher ranking. A very vague but straight forward answer. So that night, I had Strea plot me a course around the city as I began to fight floor 20 and 30 bosses throughout the night. I kept going until eventually Eiji showed up. I started to wonder if this man teleports because after I had a brief conversation with him he sent me a message that I read and when I looked up, he was gone. I was told to meet him at the Stadium that was hosting Yuna's first AR concert. I needed to refine my methods so I asked Sugu to teach me some kendo moves. She happily agreed and we facetime so she could do so. Then the next day came.....

.........

Y/N strolled into the underground parking lot and met up with Eiji.

Y/N: Yo! As promised, I have arrived.

Eiji:....It seems you have.

Y/N: Now, would you kindly give me my friends' memories back?

Eiji: If you want them, you'll have to take them.

Y/N: Heh, I had a feeling you'd say that. Nautilus.

Eiji: I'M EIJI NOW!

Y/N:?

Eiji: That's ancient history now. I'm surprised you even knew about me.

Y/N: Well Yuna told me.

Eiji:Oh dear, you seduce any girl that enters your personal space and now Yuna as well?

Y/N: Whatever you say.

Eiji: Never mind. You've come here so casually, but do you really think you can beat me, the Number 2 ranked player?

Y/N: Don't know, but I sure as hell am going to give a try. Ordinal Scale, Activate.

Eiji: Ordinal Scale, Activate.
