Peering from behind a rock, was a baby-sized bunny. Cute chubby cheeks along with ruby-coloured eyes. They had a focused expression, the muzzle of their weapon aimed at the jaw of a ginormous monster a few meters away. A sigh escaped the lips of the bunny, "Yeah I see it alright. How could I miss it though? It's right in front of me." Her gloved-hand pressed a button on the device attached to her elf-like ear. It seemed to be a communicator in order to communicate with her comrades, that were like her, hiding behind rocks. A chuckle was heard on the other line.

"So what do you say? Krullie dear? Take it down?" It was Ferid Bathory, Demon extraordinaire that risked their health bar to face any monster he encountered in this game. Currently, he was hiding right across from the bunny, a mocking expression seen on his face as he glanced over to his comrade. The bunny sighed once more, why did she decide to even team up with him in the first place? Oh right, probably because she practically knew this man in real life. Long-time rival, in not only politics but proving the other members of their team who got the most kills in this video game. She would have been forced to join his squadron in the end. "If you get too close, you might just die." She warned him. Ferid positioned his KTR-09 on the rock. He shut an eye.

"That's about 200 meters for you, Krullie. If I do die, I'll know you'll be there to avenge me~" he teased, occasionally peering at her for a reaction. But the bunny girl didn't flinch one bit. In fact, when he turned his head for the third time to catch a change of facial expression, she had completely left that spot. He chuckled and picked up his weapon from the solid support. He chased after the pink haired girl running ahead of him. A smile lit on his lips, she was seriously fast. She could outrun him anytime, that's one thing he admired about the pink bunny. Her ultra-speed and her strength. Each time they battled on here, she would most likely win. Not to mention, in real life as well.

The monster was towering over the two individuals. Krul growled as she lifted her beloved weapon in the air. Trying to find her target's vitals. "I can't see anything...ugh this sucks! I bet I need to go higher!" She ambitiously groaned as all that entered her field of vision was the monster's massive leg. Ferid laughed behind her, "I can't believe you got an avatar that's just as short as you are." The silver-haired man remarked, stepping aside as the monster planned its next move: which was to crush them. The two individuals moved away. Krul almost injured herself with the front roll she overdid. "If I cant get close, i can't decrease its health by a bit." She informed not only Ferid, but her comrades that were on the lookout.

A hum was heard from the other line. "If you could climb up its neck or at least shoot it's right eye, you'll deal an immense amount of damage." The sniper of the team, Crowley Eusford advised her, he kept his M14-EBR fixed on the moving monster's forehead. However, it took a ton of effort to follow that spot since, like said earlier, it kept moving. Crowley was an expert sniper but even he can't get perfect headshots every opponent he fights. Ferid moved away from this target and began unloading his first magazine on its sides. A gasp of amazement was heard from his line, "Wowi Crowley, how do you know all that?" He asked, innocently. It was about the fifth time he requested for his backstory. The red and black haired man exhaled before firing his shot, it landed on the monster's stomach. Completely missed.

"I already told you. I used to work in the military before transferring to the office. It's common knowledge for a soldier." He repeated with disinterest. The man proceeded to reload, a single sniper bullet entered the M14-EBR's chamber. Ferid kept firing his bullets from a good six- or seven meters away. Red polygon fragments spilled out of the wounds traveling from the monster's sides all the way to its right leg. Krul on the other hand, dashed towards her target's left leg that was currently pressed down on the sandy flooring. She visualized a ramp through the fleshy and stretchy limb. She nodded, yes this would be her ticket up there. "Aha, don't fall now~! I'd hate to catch you~!" Ferid taunted from his spot as he watched the bunny sprint her way up.

A few footsteps were heard coming from behind the team sniper, Crowley turned his head immediately. "Hey." His dilated pupils reduced to their normal size. He didn't need to be so scared, it was only the boy with white and red hair. His comrade and the team's backup bomber, Lest Karr. The sniper fired another shot, this time it landed directly to where he wanted the bullet to pass through. A leak of red liquid spilled out of the gushing wound on the monster's forehead. Nevertheless, their enemy showed zero incapability to keep fighting. The sniper cursed under his breath. "Fellas, we have ourselves a difficult prey." He reminded with an obvious lack of enthusiasm. Reaching the top of her target's leg, Krul growled. She was still not high enough.

"Hey Lest, could you help out for a sec?" She inquired quickly, trying her best not to fall off. It would completely foil her incoming plan if she did. However, "I'm hurt! Krullie dear! You ask Lest Karr for help? Why not me?" Ferid proceeded to annoy the code out of her avatar. The pink haired girl glared down the silver-haired man from where he was standing. How could she respond to something like that? Ferid loved to bother her, in-game and at work, that's for sure. What amazes her is that he just seems to know which are the good times- where she's in complete stress or generally in a bad mood, to nag her. "Shut up Ferid, I don't need you and your worthless bullets." She silenced him and urged Lest's response immediately. Ferid simply pouted, wanting to know in what way Krul needed the bomber's assistance.

After a good five seconds, the bomber finally replied. "Is that a struggle I see from the queen?" Him too, decided to not benefit the bunny girl in this situation. Krul grew annoyed of her teammates. Lest and Ferid should get lost, heck , the only person that didn't bother her was Crowley. But who would blame her? He was generally quiet, his gun did all the talking. "Be quiet and just listen. I want you to send a staircase of bombs two meters to my side right now." She quickly calculated. That was exactly 300 meters forward but 64 meters up in the sky. Lest checked his rotary chamber, he made sure that all six holes were filled with the explosives. A sigh escaped him. "You should be thankful that I even agreed to help you." He saltily remarked before launching three bombs in the given direction. The small avatar watched with his red eyes how smoke was drawn onto the red sky canvas.

Krul gasped, "Here they come." The bunny girl stepped back a bit, leaving room for the bomb to crash onto the monster's stomach. Before it completely exploded, she hopped onto it then moved up to the incoming bomb. She felt her knit hat almost get blown away by the blowout. A small screech was heard from gritted teeth. This was harder than it looks. Just the feeling of falling down down to a heart-stopping death was her main concern. Explosion after explosion, the bunny got even higher. Luckily, she didn't miss a step resulting in her respawning screen to pop up. She landed on the monster's shoulder before a sharp glare was seen on the 'pink vampire's ' face. "I'm sorry, what was that? You don't want to be killed?" She taunted the monster. But even roars of this rampaging monster couldn't get the girl to stop. She fired her entire magazine all around its neck, she danced and skipped along, moving from the left shoulder to the right, all while keeping her balance.

Ferid snickered, watching the spectacle unfold before his red eyes. "Now that's my girl." He commented, observing the tiny girl stomp all around the disgusting creature with nothing but bloodlust and apparent bliss. He truly admired her despite the burning hatred for her affecting him so so much. Crowley and Lest felt it was safe to leave their spots to join the silver-haired demon. The sniper crossed his arms and watched the small bunny girl rip the flesh out of the monster they were just fighting. Distant war cries were heard from above. He chuckled then whistled. "Hey Ferid, you never told me exactly your relationship with Krul Tepes. You guys don't get exactly well at work nor here. So what's up?" He requested an explanation on their whole rivalry.

The other man made sure that the communicator wasn't on. He didn't want his dear dear Krul hearing this, who knows? She might actually have feelings for the charming man deep down. He didn't want to shatter her little heart...just yet. A laugh was heard from Ferid as the wanted words to explain all of this was found into his mind. "Krul Tepes is a bad woman. Don't let yourself be fooled by her adorable features, her brilliance in advertising, as well as her impressive tactics on how to lead a unit of workers. They call her the assistant manager for a reason. When Sir. Rigr Stafford isn't looking, Krul is up to no good. For example, participating in projects led by other companies." He explained quietly only for Crowley to hear.

There was a bit of confusion in the sniper's mind. "You desire her power however-" the red and black haired man was cut off by Ferid once more, he had a mocking expression on his face. "Yes yes, I desire her rank and all the authority she has over the workers like us. That's why I love her so much." He said with an idiotic lovestruck smile. But Crowley felt disgust build up inside of him, "You never loved Krul, you only love what she could give you- or let's say, what you could steal from her." He defended the pink bunny whilst she had no idea that a conversation like this was created. Ferid only laughed at Crowley's attempt to disagree with him. He walked circles around him, much to Lest's confusion from a mile away.

"Crowley Crowley, my boy. Don't you hate it though? How she gives us orders like she's some queen? I'll tell you, there's no queens in our current timeline nor does she own a fragile throne. I'm only telling you this because I know that you're a good person, good people are supposed to get rid of people like Krul." He patted the man on the back before his eyes laid on the small girl who just landed from ride of battle experience orbs. She had a frown on her face. "I'm never fighting a four horsemen of John ever again." She declared while wiping a bit of dust from her massive sleeves. Ferid greeted her with a big smile, "Oh but we're surely gonna bump into one again, you know?" He broke her only hope-filled thought at the moment. Krul wasn't impressed. Way to go Ferid, that's the perfect way to greet your comrades after they basically did all the work for you. Crowley watched the two communicate with a concerned expression. He felt so uneasy about all this.

Lest stepped up to the two individuals. In his hands were his dual grenade launchers, one's rotary chamber was completely empty, he had to refill it. "Great job today guys. But next time Krul, I'm not helping you anymore." He warned her with a severe look. The pink bunny girl removed her knit hat, a bit of sand specks were seen on top as well as on the fabric-made ears. She sighed and her gloved palm began wiping them off. A few strands of her long pink hair was attached to ponytails, held some by some bat-shaped vampire ribbons. The rest of her her hair that wasn't tied, was instead, left down. "Then what's the point of getting this game if you're not gonna help me?" She grinned. She did have a point. How much was this high-tech game? Its graphics were so well designed, that it would be hard to even compare this to a normal virtual reality game. Lest's serious expression didn't change. "You do know that there's an option to play solo right? I don't need to be associated to my lousy co-workers after my shift." He mentioned. The pink haired girl refrained herself from getting into another fight. She'd hate to waste more ammo in shooting down this brat.

Ferid moved his left hand up, the game menu showed up. Many buttons and panels were available. The prominent log-off button, game settings, his storage, party management, the guns he was carrying at the moment and the screen he was looking for- the time. The silver-haired vampire's eyes widened on purpose upon realizing what time it was. It was 5PM. Ferid gave a fake gasp and raised his hands in the air in exasperation. "Oh noes my friends! I'm afraid I need to get going now. I have an appointment." He theatrically stated. Silence had fallen on Crowley and Lest Karr. But just by hearing that, it made Krul smile with excitement. "You're leaving? About time, Bathory." She yawned. He should leave her alone more often. She needed the peace and quiet, especially at work. Though just that small remark from Krul wouldn't go unnoticed by the silver-haired man. He chuckled, "You may need some rest as well, my queen."

Like Ferid, Krul too had many surnames by the players of: 'Seraph of the end'. Ever since her participation in two 'Seraph Squad' matches, the participants have grew afraid of Krul's team. As for the ones that had a chance to score with them on the podium, they just saw Krul's squad as 'tricky competition'. Nevertheless, not everyone in this game feared the four individuals. Heck, there were players that were better than this squad. But what Krul loved the most about this game was the chance to go all out, killing players and monsters to her heart's content without getting arrested in real life. That's what awarded her with the common titles of: 'Pink vampire, bunny girl, pink bunny and Ferid's supposedly favourite: the queen'.

"As if Bathory! Ugh, Just get going." She shooed him away. If she could, she would have pressed his log-off button for him. Though, life couldn't always go according to plan for her, couldn't it? A chuckle was heard from Ferid as he advanced forward to pat Krul on the head, it was rather easy for him since she was way shorter than he was. He loved her reactions. She was so adorable when her cheeks huffed up in frustration whenever he dared lay a finger on her. "What will you be doing while I'm gone?~ Lament over me leaving you behind?" He teased, that stupid grin never vanishing. Before the argumentent could get any worse between the two, Crowley intervened. He raised his hands. "You two, please stop now. Krul, you are free to choose whatever you want to do next and you Ferid, we wouldn't want you getting late for that appointment of yours, please get going." He advised them.

Ferid's smile got bigger as he got into a shrugging posture. "Aw you're no fun, Crolwey. Besides, I was simply telling Krul how much I'll miss her while I'm offline." He lied, still keeping an innocent tone in his reply. The tiny queen growled, her red eyes flaring with anger. Not only did it annoyed Crowley even more, but hearing that triggered Lest to step in. "Alright, Bathory. That's enough. Please go." He repeated Crowley's message. The silver haired avatar sighed as he glanced over to the log-off button. Good grief, he didn't have a choice huh? If he stayed much longer, he might receive mini bullets down his throat. "Yes yes, I'm going, I'm going. Don't have too much fun without me~ Oh and Krullie, I'll be back because of my undying love for you." He waved. "Later~!" He cheered one last time before his figure disappeared in a tornado of pixels. The three remaining individuals sighed.

Lest turned over to Krul Tepes. "So, with one member logged off, ehatare we going to do now?" He asked the squad leader. To his surprise, the bunny girl shrugged. At work, she always had a plan on what to do next so seeing her idealess really shocked the short boy. "Well, we could always train some more. But I'm starting to run out of bullets. I might have to buy some more from the shop." She told the two guys before raising her P90 to her eye-level. In the current magazine she was using, there were 8 bullets left. She really did dominate that monster, didn't she? But what concerned her is that, that's one magazine used, leaving her with 26.

"I wanted to go explore this new territory I found with a map abandoned in the dungeons in my free time. I'm guessing that's now?" Crowley mentioned his plans for the rest of the evening. Krul allowed him to continue forth with what he had in mind, of course, it would be rude of her to embark on the journey since she wasn't present when Crowley found the map. But she couldn't help but wonder what kind of territory was it. Was it a forest? Another desert? A city left in ruins? So many possibilities. To snap out of her thoughts, she turned to Lest Karr. "And you? What will you be doing while I hop over to the shopping centre and while Crowley tries not to get killed by unknown mobs?" She questioned, joking slightly on Crowley's part. It was true though, he had to be careful for any monsters lurking around that area.

Lest didn't really know what he had in mind for the rest of the evening. Instead, he went with the most reasonable option for a newbie gamer. "I'll log off, I think I'm getting tired." He confirmed with a small yawn. He stored away his grenade launchers as Krul and Crowley gave him wide eyes. Lest noticed that. "What?" He asked, confused to why he received such reactions. Crowley, "Dude, it's only 5PM, how could you be ready for bed at that time?" answered the small boy's bewilderment. Though to his surprise, the boy wearing a top-hat chuckled. "No, I'm not that tired. I meant tired of playing. I wouldn't want to become addicted to this slaughter world. Video games can really change the way we view the world and people, you know?" He gave a small fact. But Krul and Crowley didn't care much. From there on, Lest knew that those two and possibly Ferid, were attached to this world already.

He didn't know exactly how many months they've played this game, but he was in fact the newcomer of the squad. He was called by Krul one day, requesting help for the second 'Seraph Squad' tournament. Lest wasn't really into video games actually. He just played them so that he could help his co-worker, that he regretted to befriend, whenever he owed her for her assistance at work. He hated this. "Well I'll be off now, later you two. Don't take the weekend like guaranteed. We still have work next week." He reminded with a strict voice. But that just earned a giggle from the pink bunny. "Come on, you're not Sir Shikama. Stop telling us what to do. You're only a assistant like me." She mentioned. Lest, "We have the same rank at work, Krul. Don't forget that." growled at her giggles.

"Yeah I know. Oh wait, why? Afraid that I'll taunt you with me possibly getting promoted?" A mischievous grin formed on her lips. That only made Lest more angrier with her. "You will never be promoted if you keep this up." He told her. Right, she won. He fell straight into her trap like she planned. Sneaky bunny. "Oh how sweet of you, Lest! You want me getting a higher rank than you~?" She teased, getting close to his aggravated face. The small boy was upset with her, embarrassed that he fell into her trap like that. His initial reaction was to push her away from him with one gesture. Afterwards, he logged off from this SF world. From there, the four teammates of that squad all went on their own paths. From an appointment, to rest, to an unexplored biome, finishing off with the shopping centre of the broken world of Sanguinem city.
~~~~~~~~~~~
In the real world, a man with silver hair walked along the alleyways of his block. A smile fixed on his lips, the same one his avatar constantly had 24/7. He came into a halt when he spotted a man in front of him, he wore a black tuxedo and had a sinister look. Ferid chuckled. "Ah, you just be my partner huh?" He questioned rather innocently. Ofcourse this man would be his partner in whatever plan he would jump onto. That's why he scheduled an appointment after all. The other man didn't answer, instead, "Just get to the point, what do you want me to do?" He asked quietly, in case anyone would hear them.

Ferid noticed his change of tone, he shrugged. "Come on now, you can speak a little bit louder now. No one can hear us." He affirmed to him, his head turning back occasionally to check for any passers eavesdropping on them. It wasn't completely considered as a 'safe time' to be talking, it was only 5PM after all. They would have scheduled a better time to meet however the other man couldn't, he had plans later today. "Tell me what do you want or else I'm calling this whole deal off." He demanded for Ferid to stop idling. The silver haired figure sighed, alright, time to get serious like requested five minutes ago. "I already gave you the requested guns and in-game cash like you asked, so now it's my turn. All I want you to do is help me and my teammate: Crowley Eusford, take down the infamous tiny queen: Krul Tepes."

The other man's eyes went wide at his unexpected request. "What? But going after your comrades is against the rules." He reminded with a strict tone. No way could he accepted something as low as that. Then again, Ferid was a crazy man, but had reasonable motifs for something. He turned over to face the man, checking if his smile vanished. It didn't. "I'm sure you don't want to eliminate a player like her out of boredom right?" He asked, to make sure that wasn't the real reason behind all of this. Immediately, Ferid shook his head then laughed afterwards. "You have no idea on who Krul really is. She's a bad person, that's why I'm asking you to help me take her down during the third 'Seraph Squad' tournament." The demon extraordinare repeated his request.
It only left his partner to contemplate about all this. Should he accept or refuse?

Unfortunately, he had to. He had to accept. Ferid already bought him the gear and gave him the requested sum in return for all this. He had to hold his part of the bargain as well. Or else, that'd be rather dirty on his part. This man hated playing dirty. A sigh escaped him as he brought his hand forward to shake Ferid's. A relieved smile was fixed on the eccentric man. "I'm glad you agreed to help me out!" He chimed happily. But the other man shushed him. "Quiet, someone can hear us. Now, explain to me the plan." He ordered sharply.
Ferid let go of his hand and bowed down dramatically. "You'll love it, sir. Really."
~~~~~~~~~~
The pink bunny simply attached a black cloak with pink as its inner lining. She didn't really mind the paparazzi chasing after her when she entered Sanguinem. 'You took the risk to play in a tournament, live with the consequences.' was a quote she'd keep in mind when she wishes to just log-off after running thousand of miles just to get away from the crowds. The task would be simple. Head to the shopping mall, buy P90 magazine and sprint out of here with all your energy left. Her ears twitched at the direction of a loud scream. "Hey look! It's the tiny queen!" A man carrying a F2000 alerted everyone in the area. In one minute, many eyes were landed on Krul.

She looked all around her. People were getting closer, she didn't like it. "Oh come on, I didn't get the chance to buy my magazines yet!" She screeched then fixed her knit hat that was about to fall off. What to do what to do. Should she run off? Or make a run to the shopping centre? No, she needed those magazines, she was already here so why should she log off now? As the crowds got closer to her, Krul took a deep breath before running inside of the shopping centre several meters in front of her. The distance between her and the people outside would buy her enough time to make her purchases and proceed to get out. When she entered, "Isn't that the pink vampire?" A player addressed to his comrades. It caused a pack of other players to spot her. Right, this would be the downfall of this specific plan of Krul's.

She took the opportunity of the empty hallways to walk towards the shop's counter. She huffed, she knew she had to make this quick. "I'll have mini bullets, sniper bullets, MGL-140 bombs and medium bullets please. Ten of each magazine please!" She blurted all of her words together. She was truly in a rush here that she didn't realize that she was buying ammo for her comrades. Oh well, she could just say that it's a 'thank you for training with me' gift later on. The clerk nodded at her request and grabbed ten of each like she asked then placed them on the counter. "That'll be around 3,000 credits please." The clerk crunched the prices on their cash register. From there, a small panel popped up on Krul's screen.

"Would you like to purchase: 10 mini bullet magazines, 10 medium bullet magazines, 10 bombs and 10 sniper bullet magazines?" The panel said. There were two buttons below it: "No" and "Yes." Krul pressed the latter and all 40 magazines were teleported to her inventory. "Thanks again!" She chimed at the store clerk before dashing off out of here. In the distance, a small bunny dressed in a black frilly dress chased by crowds of players, ran off to a safe spot to log-off. This was only the beginning of the heart-pounding adventure Krul had to endure during her time here in 'Seraph of the end'.
~~~~~~~~~
A/N Hi guys! LillaSmolBean here with the first chapter of Seraph Squads! A crossover story between Sword Art Online Alternative and Owari no seraph! I really hope you enjoy the first chapter! I really enjoyed writing it that's for sure. If you did, please leave a vote and comment down below what do you think so far! Even theories or feedback on the overall story, I would love to read what you have to say. Anyways, I guess I could write a few things about the chapter itself? Hm...first off, i don't exactly know if the chapters will be as long as this one(4600 words). It will possibly be shorter or longer? Depends of my mood and the ideas I have in store so far. But my main goal in this book will be to write more than 1000 words in the chapters. For years, that has been my usual word limit and I've always wanted to go over it. So I'll try, expect weekly updates though if that's the case.

Second thing, What do you think of this story's MCS? Instead of the usual: Shinoa Squad including Mika. Like I explained in my randomness book #2, i have a thing for writing about secondary characters. I don't really know why, I just happen to pay attention to the secondary characters more than the main ones. So here you go! A story where we have the vamp squad as our MCS: Krul Tepes, Ferid Bathory, Crowley Eusford and Lest Karr. I hope I didn't mess up anyone's personalities. The only one I'm truly concerned about is Lest because I absolutely can't write him. The only key words I have for that boy is: "sadistic, jerk, know-it-all, show-off." Yeah I know. Half are mostly directed towards Krul. So that's why Lest's character will be personally triggered(not anger, I mean in general) by Krul's actions. Can't say much about Lest, Crowley and Ferid's reactions towards Bun Bun girl just yet! That's spoilers!

Third, the ships. Like I said in my randomness book #2, the only planned canon ships so far for this story will be: Mikayuu and FeridKrul. I know what you're thinking for the latter, "It's technically LLENNxPitohui". Yes yes! I know that! But I just found Ferid appropriate for being Pito! Heck, Krul was gonna be Pitohui originally and Ferid M(Bam! OTP! Asozaki!) But nope, Ferid doesn't always hide all day, instead, he attacks his prey straight on unlike M, who's too much of a coward to do that. Both Ferid and Krul are brutal characters. Who are the two most brutal characters in AGGO? LLENN and Pitohui! There, explanation made. It's still ironic that FeridKrul is my OTP yet Kohiruizaki(LLENNxPito) is my NOTP. But yeah! My point is, those two ships will be canon in this book. There will be more! But I'll need to make up my mind!

Fourth, that's all! Wow, this was a long author's note. Again, I hope you enjoyed! And I'll see you guys in chapter 2 of Seraph Squads! Thank you for reading!^^
