Battle
Y/N's P.O.V
I stand up from the campfire, and yawn. I was the last one awake, as everybody else had already gone to sleep in their separate tents. I stretch and yawn, and look over my shoulder at Kirito's cabin. I should see if he's still up... I begin to think, but a loud crashing from the bushes beyond my tent draws my attention. I whip around, and my eyes narrow.
"Oh, so you're still awake." Asuna says slyly, a psychopathic grin spreading across his face. "This should be fun." I clench my fists and reach for my sword, which is in it's sheath strung across my back, but the sound of a bow string being pulled back makes me freeze. And then suddenly, all of Asuna's friends started to creep out of the bushes and trees, making a circle around me and cutting me off from any of the tents. The river that our tents are set up by streams quietly, and I lower my hand from my sword.
"Well, Asuna, you arent looking that well." I remark calmly, noting how pale Asuna looked. "You look uglier then I remember, and that's saying something." At this, Asuna's face turns red, and his grip on his weapon tightens visibly. I bight back a laugh, and then close my eyes. There's one thing I can try... I think, remembering the sword skill moves that I knew. I breathe in slowly, then clasp my hands together and twist them around quickly, spinning and unsheathing my sword all in a seconds time, and use my sword as a launcher to launch myself into the air. My sword glows blue in the moonlight, and I angle myself downwards. I fall quickly, my sword raised above my head, and twist around in time to bring it down on Asuna with enough force to send him flying into a tree, even though he blocked it (barely). Wait... I did that all in just two seconds! I'm getting stronger. I think as I cut an arrow out of the air and kick one of Asuna's friend's in the gut. Suddenly, Kirito leaps out of his tent and disarms the one with the bow, sending them face-first into the dirt. The rest of Asuna's friends hesitate, and Kirito yells for everyone to wake up. Julie and the others emerge from their tents, and quickly realize what's happening.
" 'Prince' Asuna, you are under arrest for betrayal of the village and assault of Kirito Kazuto." Julie says, stepping forward towards Asuna. But out of nowhere Asuna starts to laugh, and slowly rises from the ground.
"You can't defeat me, because you can't defeat him." Asuna says, and continues to laugh as the ground starts to shake. I run over to Kirito, and Julie and the others run over to us. We all watch as Asuna's friends stand by him, their expressions ranging from nervous to downright exhausted. Suddenly something appeares in the woods behind Asuna, lighting up the dark forest around it.
It seems my new 'allies' have failed to kidnap one of you. Then again, you are just a bunch of teenagers.
The voice appears in my head, loud and clear. I clutch my head, and judging from the looks on the faces of Kirito and the others, they heard the voice in their head, too. The... Thing leaped out of the dark of the trees and into our riverside clearing. My breathe caught in my throat. It was the giant blue cat from my dreams. Black fire ran along it's fur, and each of it's four claws were the size of a wagon wheel. It toward over me, Kirito, Julie and the others, while Asuna and his friends climbed on top of it, somehow unharmed by the flames. And visible on its chest, in bright red color, were the words 'The lord of flame and thought'.
Its nice to finally meet you, Y/N. I can't wait to kill you.
