(Y/N) POV
I watch the trio as they shovel food into their mouths
"Are you sure you don't want some?" Angalo asks
"Yea I'm sure," I say, turns out that Garth literally ate more then all of them combined...honestly what a dick
Looking at Kent, Karp and Angalo they all are skinny, it must have been hard.
From what I've heard. Garth sat around eating while they starved as they did stuff for him...I don't understand why they didn't stand up sooner
"So what's the situation here?" I ask
"Everything we need is in this cave, we can grow food and there's even a stream of water that runs through here," Karp explains
"I see," I say
"But I've noticed that the dark army has been gathering," Kent adds
" Dark Army?" I ask confused
"That's what we call the forces of the dark territory," He says
"Ok, you guys said something about the Human Territory" I ask
"It's where we all came from," Angalo says smiling. It must be pleasant compared to this place
"Yes, we all have pleasant memories until we suddenly showed up here," Karp explains further
"Hmm," I mutter
Suddenly, I feel the air became heavy. I wasn't the only one to notice, Karp also reacted
"Say...what was that?" I ask
"It must be the gate, the seal must be weakening," Karp says looking at me.
"What does that mean?" I ask
"It means we might be able to go the human empire soon," Karp says as the other two get excited
"Ok, what's the catch?" I ask
"As I said, the dark army has been gathering," Kent says
"We will need to get past them....but I think I may know a guy who might help us out," Karp says
"I'll go meet with him," Karp says as he turns around
"I don't think so bud," I say as he turns to look at me
"I'll go," I mutter as I pass him
"Tell me where to go, and what's his name...ill let you know I can be pretty sneaky," I say smiling
"Ok, go north, his name is Vixur, but if you meet a woman called Lipia you can probably talk to her as well," Karp says as he starts explaining them.
Vixur is the leader of the Dark Knights, he has a scar on his forehead and nose. Lipia is his lover, or so I've been told. She has purple hair and has a pretty face.
"Ok, I'll be off," I mutter as I exit the cave. I head north and after an hour of walking I see a dark castle in the distance
"Looks like that's the place," I mutter. There are guards of all sorts around the place...orcs, elf's, and giants? Eh...who cares
I will be extra careful to not be caught. I sneak into the castle. You can tell the dark forces are gathering, this place has tight security. I approach a corridor with a woman in it
"Come on Lipia, just kill Vecta and Vixur will be happy," She mutters to herself as she walks my way...Bingo. Ok, metal gear solid snake time. As she is about to turn the corner, I grapple her and cover her mouth with my hand
"I'm not gonna hurt you, I need to speak to Vixur," I say as she struggles. After a few times of explaining I won't hurt her. She stops resisting
"That's a pleasant way to introduce yourself to a lady," She whispers as I let her go
"I could have knocked you out and chain you to a bed," I tease...doesn't really have an effect
"Your sick," She mutters
"I was joking, ok," I say
"What do you want with Vixur," She asks
"Me and group of friends are trapped here," I say
"And?" She asks
"We need your help to return to the Human Empire,"
"I don't see why we would help you," she says
"Vixur wants peace right?" I ask
"I suppose so," She says thinking
"If you help us, it might help you with good will," I say
"I guess...I'll bring him to you, stay in that room until then," She says pointing to a room
"Thank you," I say as I sneak into it. I wait for an hour until a man finally enters the room
"You asked for me?" He asks
"Are you Vixur?" I say
"Who else," He responds
"Good point, I'm (Y/N), me and three others would like to return to the Human empire," I say
"Don't we all," He says
"You wish for peace right?" I ask
"Yes, Lipia has already explained," he says
"And I'll take you up on that offer," He finishes
I let out a breath of relief
"Also, that lover of yours wants to kill Vecta," I mutter as he looks surprised
"I see, thank you. I'll send a message to your group containing what to do and what time to do it," He says a bit mad
"Ok thanks," I say
"Now leave," He says as I sneak out once again
I return to the cave where Angalo was waiting for me at the entrance
"You're back," She says excitedly
"Yep," I say as I smile. She really reminds me of Jenn
"So what have you been up too?" I ask as I enter the cave
"I've been standing watch," She says puffing out her chest
"Oh, yeah?" I ask
"Yep, Karp told me it's an important job," She finishes as I laugh a bit
"Yes, indeed it is," I tell her
I walk further into the cave
"So?" I hear Karp ask
"They agreed," I say as his face turns into one of relief
"Thank god, I don't know how long we would have lasted," Karp says
"Huh? Why?" I ask
"The water, it's slowly becoming less and less," He says as he leads me to where they get water.
"It once was huge, but in the past year it's dwindled down to a small stream," Kent says meeting up with us
"I see," I say thinking
"Without water, we can't grow as much food," Karp continues
"I understand," I mutter
The next few days went by quickly. I helped around a bit. Kent did most of the crop work, while Karp ventured outside. I also told everyone I got some of my memories back so I could tell stories to Angalo.
I also spent a little time testing what I can do, I can't use my Lightning Ability here.
Currently, we are headed to the Human Empire. war has broken out. Vixur says that we might be able to escape within all the chaos. And it's working
Everyone is too busy slashing each other that we managed to slip by. However, it's a blood bath. I carry Angalo princess style as she shuts her eyes so she doesn't see this terrible sight. Thank god she is so light
"Damn Vecta, that bloodthirsty bastard, " I hear Karp say
"keep on running, " I mutter to him
We eventually reach a clearing, and I see knights waiting for the enemy that hasn't come yet
"Hey!" I yell as they became alert and get into a fighting stance.
"We are peaceful!" Karp says
"Who are you?" A knight asks
"We were trapped in the dark territory," Kent yells
"We have a child," I say referring to Angalo
They look at each other and eventually let us past.
We were settled down at an outpost...and everyone was given lots of food.
"Thank you," Karp says to me
"Huh?" I say
"You helped us here," He says
"No biggy," I mutter
"Seriously, thank you," he says. The war went on, and we were moved to a village.
I was walking and overheard some people speaking
"That Kirito....why is Alice so protective of him...it still bugs me," I overhear someone
"Kirito?" I say out loud catching someones attention
"Yeah, that dark-haired freak...he is so useless...and he has two swords worth more than this town," He says angrily
"Where is he?" I ask
"He is travelling with Alice...so he is probably in the middle of the war," He explains
I rush to Karp
"Karp, I'm leaving!" I tell him as I rush around
"Why?" He asks
"That's for me to know and you to find out," I smile as I rush out
"(Y/N)!" I hear Angalo yell
I stop in my track and look at her
"Where are you going?" She asks
"I'm going to see an old friend," I smirk as I rush away. I head back to the dark territory, there are no outposts here anymore, they must be further in. I run...and run...and run.
I see a group of people...surrounded by a small red army. And at the centre, I recognize a Knights dragon
I thought of just running past...but I just couldn't do it.
I charged the red guys and rush to the middle by jumping on them until I got to the centre. I was meet with a woman Knight holding a dark-skinned elf looking dude
"You guys got an extra sword?" I ask as they look confused
"I'm helping you," I say laughing knowing how crazy I must sound
"No, we have no extra weapons," The dark-skinned one says
"Great...just great," I mutter
"Can't you see they are suffering?" I ask the red army. These guys are new, I can tell they aren't part of the dark army...they are something completely different
"We kill them!" They say
"I kill you," I yell as I charge. My charge was short-lived has someone else stole my thunder. An orc leds the charge of a spare head into them, and I see a difference of colour for the first time in awhile. I see a fairy....a Sylph, a Sylph I know well
"Leafa! What brings you here?" I ask as she fights. It takes her a while to look at me
"(Y/N)!" She asks surprised
"You got a sword I could fight with?" I ask
"No, but they do!" She says looking at the enemy
"Oh, I guess so," I say as I roundhouse kick a poor soul into nothingness. I steal his weapon and start fighting
"Go to a temple, they need your help more, and make it fast!," Leafa yells at me as she points somewhere
"Ok miss incest," I yell back as I start rushing to the direction she pointed her face reddens. In the distance I can see a temple...and thousands if red guys. Yes, they are in dire need of my help...they literally got thousands surrounding them
"I wonder if I'll meet the others," I mutter as I run across the terrain. I've gotten good at looking in the far distance, after all, there is literally nothing here.
I can see the others, Asuna and other people from SAO. And they are defeated. I even watch Kirito getting wheeled around in a wheelchair. Then, someone starts roughing him up. He must be the red armies leader or something. They have everyone at a stalemate, and I'm far to away to help...if only I had my Lightning Ability
I focus on using it...to no luck
"Why fail me now?" I yell to nothing as I'm still a far way away
"Come on!"
You failed once...no twice...and your gonna fail again!" I scream in frustration remembering Jenn and Max
"You can do it," I hear a voice
"You can do it, daddy," I hear Jenns voice in my head
Time slows down, and the clouds darken
Asuna POV
Stop...please stop hurting Kirito.
I watch as Poh, the leader of Laughing coffin, and the leader of this assault on Kirito.
"Please, stop," I watch as he is about to kill Kirito with a cleaver
Last-minute, he stops. I'm confused. But I realize why
The clouds start to darken, and rain begins to pour
"I didn't know this place rained," He says as he is about to stab Kirito
"That's because it doesn't," I hear a voice say
A bright light streaks across the sky and instantly after
A thunderous boom
