Random forest on floor 35:

"What are you talking about, why should we have to share our healing crystals with you, your pet lizard has healing powers you know." a small girl stood in front of the offending woman defiantly, "But you never fight on the front lines so who are you to talk, you don't need to use any crystals!" The red headed woman just twirled her hair, "Of course I do, Your the popular one around here Silica I cant expect when I need it." one of the boys of the group tried to stop the situation from escalating, "Ahh c'mon its not like that."

Silica at this point had enough, "Fine you want my items, take them but I am never going to team up with you again! I know there's a ton of parties who'd love to have me on their side!" with that she stormed off into the woods, "Wait, don't go Silica."

Time skip

It was dark and Silica was panting hard with a knife in her hand, her health was in the red and the mobs were untouched. One of the mobs attacked but she dodged, rolled and dodged another mob. The tiny dragon flew over to her and healed her so her health was slightly over half. She felt her pouch empty 'Im out of healing crystals!' That's when she got struck by one of the mobs club. She flew into a tree pretty hard and fell down weaponless and her health went into the red zone, just when she was about to get killed her pet dragon swooped in and took the hit completely. "PINA!" Silica crawled over to her dragon worried for her friend, "Pina, Pina, Pina, Pina." Pina glowed and Silica held Pina in her arms as it died leaving behind an item.

The mobs came at her with the intent of finishing her off but all three mobs shimmered and shattered. Behind them were two males, one in black, the other in orange and black. The male in black sheathed his sword and the other one sheathed his katana. "You all right?" Silica nodded, "Good, but what are you doing all the way out here this late?" Silica managed a response, "Finding a way back to town but I got lost. But if I may ask, what's your name?"

The first figure paused what he was doing, then he resumed. "Kazugo. That's Balefire, dont worry about him he's mostly harmless." Balefire just sighed having the urge to smack Kazugo on the back of the head. "The town is this way lets go, but first. Here take these, I wont need them. And, sorry we didnt make it in time to save your pet." Silica looked down, "That feather, check to see if it has an item name or something." Silica checked and cried harder when she saw it was labeled 'Pina's heart' "You know, now that I think of it, there might be a chance to revive it." Kazugo looked at Balefire, "Yeah, where?" he nodded "On the south side of floor 47 there is a field dungeon called The Field of Memories, I heard that the flower at the top can revive familiars but it has to be within a three day time period. Silica looked down, "I cant level up that fast. which means tha-." Kazugo stood up, "We are coming with you. We have enough levels to keep you safe from the mobs and red players." Balefire nodded in agreement, "That aside, lets get out of this forest." The three of them walked until they found a town, "Lets rest here and tomorrow we can go look for that plant." Kazugo suggested, Silica paused causing the two solo players to turn.

"Um if you don't mind me asking, why are you helping me?" Balefire smirked and crossed his arms, "Its because mr big bad solo player here actually has a big soft heart." Kazugo frowned, "No I don't you idiot!" Balefire just chuckled, "What ever you say man." Silica laughed a bit causing the two to look at her funny. "What's so funny?" they both asked at the same time. Silica continued to smile, "Its just that you two seem a lot like brothers." Balefire smiled and slung his arm around Kazugo, "That's because when this whole thing started we became sworn brothers, brothers till the end." they both gave an award winning smile that happened to be quite infectious when used. Kazugo brought out a drink, took the lid off and started drinking the beer, "Plus it works with why we are here." Balefire sighed when he saw Kazugo down his beer. "I'll never understand where you put all that stuff, then again the same goes for me whenever I drink so I cant really talk."

That's when they heard two voices, "Hey look, its Silica." Two boys ran up, one wearing a yellow shirt and brown pants while the other one was wearing a- pink dress? To each there own I guess. "it took you a long time to get back, we were getting worried." then the other one spoke up, "Wanna team up with us? We'll take you wherever you want to go." Silica backed up and then said, "Im already partied up with these guys." to which they were given dirty looks. As they were walking away she apologized, "Im sorry, I didn't mean to put you guys on the spot like that." Balefire looked back, "Didn't know you had fans, must be popular." She looked down, "no not really, im just a mascot. they called me beast tamer and I guess it got to my head." Kazugo smiled don't worry we'll make it in time." That's when they heard they heard the sound of a potential thot.

"Well if it isn't Silica, Wow you made it out of the forest alive, good for you girl." Kazugo leaned down something wrong?" "No nothing." the thot stopped in front of them, "Hang on, where is your pet lizard go, did it run away?" that was enough to get Balefire to step in. "Hey, why don't you go somewhere else, im sure that you got something else to do with your time other than trying to play tough." She looked at him then at Kazugo, "Oh so Silica's managed to wrap her finger around you two, or are you just stupid?" Kazugo stepped up this time. "Look im really sorry that you didn't get to be daddy's little girl, so stop trying to play adult and just sip on your juice so we wont have a problem." She was taken back by that comment and the three of them walked off to the hotel/inn.

"Why does she have to be so mean?" Silica asked quietly, Balefire decided to answer, "Well is Sword Art Online your first MMO?" She nodded. "A lot of peoples personalities change when they get online and some even like to play as the bad guy." Kazugo picked it up from there, "You see how our cursors are green? Well, if you commit a crime against another player its gonna turn orange, then they become what's called as a red player. The worst also known as player killers, they're all about murder." Silica was shocked. "They kill other players?" He nodded, "In a normal game they roleplay as the bad guy have some laughs and its cool but Sword Art Online isn't normal, its definitely not a game." Then the dessert came and they ate and laughed.

Skip to Silica in her room

Silica laid on her bed, "I wonder if he'd laugh if I said I wanted to talk some more." That's when she heard a knock on the door. "Im coming." she paused cuz she realized she was in her underwear.

Crapbaskets

  Kazugo and Balefire sat down at the round table in her room as Silica sat in a shirt and shorts. 'To close for comfort.' She though. Kazugo put an object on the table and taped it glowed as it projected a digital 3D map of floor 47. "This is a mirage sphere." Balefire pointed at an area, "This is the town area of floor 47, and this is the Hill of Memories, I was thinking that if we take this rou-." he paused and charged at the door and slammed it open, "Whos there!?" he saw a glimpse of a person flip over the railing and down to the base floor of the building. "Who was that?" "An eavesdropper." Balefire closed the door, "But you cant hear through a door unless you knock first." Balefire looked at her and said, "But if your listening skills are high enough you can. It takes practice, not that many players have it." He looked at Kazugo and they shared a look. Tomorrow would not be pleasant.

Floor 47 town area.

The warp gate lit up signifying that it was being used as Kazugo, Silica, and Balefire walked out of it. Silica admired the garden for a while before noticing the couples that were there, that's when they continued on their journey. once they got to a bridge Kazugo handed Silica a teleport crystal. "Here take this, if things get too out of hand use it. This path will take us directly to the hill of memories." The two brothers walked off and Silica had to run to catch up. That's when two vines shot out and grabbed her legs and lifted her up side down, she grabbed her knife and held her skirt at the same time. "Calm down that thing is not that strong!" Balefire shouted. "Save me but don't look, don't look and save me!" Kazugo had a hand over his eyes muttering, "That'll be... Difficult." that's when Silica decided to save herself, "Darn you, take this!" she sliced both vines off and fell towards the mob, she activated a sword skill on the way down to stab it. "HEEYAAAAAAAAA!" The mob pixilated and Silica stood up and turned her head towards the two boys embarrassed.

"Did you see anything?" Kazugo had to slap his hand over Balefire's mouth to keep him from saying anything at all related to a sarcastic comment. Once he was sure that Balefire wouldn't say anything he uncovered his mouth. "Nope, not a thing." he said. They resumed their walk along the path slaying mobs and helping Silica level up. At one point she triggered a mob, but the thing was, it was a slimy tentacle mob. 'Seriously? Are one of the designers of this game a hentai reader?' Kazugo thought as Balefire freed Silica. 

As the three walked they finally came to the spot of the flower, "There it is, go and claim your prize Silica." Balefire said as she ran and got the flower. 

On the way back they got to the bridge when Balefire called out, "All right who ever is hiding come out now. Silica gasped "Rosalia?" She paid Silica no attention and said, "Wow, if you saw through my hiding skills so easily, your detection skill must be really high swordsman." that's when everybody heard Balefire, "Oh yeah work the shaft~" Rosalia was confused, "What was that for?" Balefire calmed down so he could respond. "Im sorry I just talk dirty when SOMEONE IS SUCKUNG MY DICK!" Kazugo coughed into his fist to stop from laughing out loud. "You know you should worry about yourselves and not being a wiseass." she snapped her fingers and orange players came out from behind the trees. "Ahh Titans Hand and their leader finally show their cowering faces." Silica was confused.

"But Rosalia's cursor is green." Kazugo just smirked, its an easy trick, the green members find their victims then they lure them straight to the orange players for an ambush. That was one of your pals last night eavesdropping on us wasn't it? Oh well you don't have to tell me, this is the part where you listen to what I tell you to do." Kazugo walked forward, "Yo Balefire, if any get by me, you know what to do." Balefire nodded as Kazugo drew his sword. "Kazugo be careful." One of the orange players recognized that name, "Kazugo? Dressed in black, one handed, no shield. Holy crap, its the black swordsman, Rosalia, that guy he's the beater that plays solo on the frontlines. He's from the assault team" Rosalia seemed unconvinced, "Why would someone from the assault team be all the way down here? Go on take him out and take everything he owns!"

Kazugo chuckled as they rushed him, "Hope you've said your prayers, but spoilers. I wont be listening." the bandits got to him and started slashing all over him. Silica wanted to help but Balefire held her back, that's when she looked at his health bar. It would go down, then back to full health. This went on for a while tiring the bandits out, "WHAT THE HELL YOU IDIOTS, KILL HIM ALREADY!" Kazugo just stood there unaffected, "Four hundred and ten seconds give or take. That's about the amount of damage the seven of you can inflict on me. Im level 78, I got 14,500 hp, my battle healing skill auto regenerates 600 points every ten seconds. We could stand here all day and you wouldn't get anywhere."

One bandit was clearly frustrated, "That's not possible!" Kazugo looked over at him, "Wanna bet, if your numbers are high enough your invincible. MMO's that use the leveling system are unfair that way. My client spent his entire fortune on this warp crystal and he'll get his moneys worth. Its been set to the coordinates of the prison, and im sending all you bastards there!" Rosalia was still defiant, "Well im green if you hurt me you'll go orange an-" Kazugo rushed her with his sword landing on her neck, "Im a solo player, got it, I don't care if I have to play as orange for a couple of days." with that Rosalia and the rest of Titans hand surrendered.

Late afternoon

Kazugo, Balefire, and Silica sat in a circle around a table, Silica had just selected Pina's feather and the flower. 'Pina, when you get back, ill have lots of stuff to tell you about. about the amazing adventure I had. And the one day I got to have my own two big brothers' With that a golden light engulfed the room and Pina was revived.
