(Y/N) POV

Bing!

Bing!

Bing!

"Who the fuck is texting me at 8 am on a Saturday morning," I open my eyes in pain...the pain of sleepiness

I look at my phone, to see the group chat blowing up

"(U/N) did you see the new swords!?"-Punisher

"(U/N) we need to get that sword before everyone else!"-Harry

O God what are they talking about

"What are you talking about?" I type to them

"Go to the home page of ALO, you'll see," Jam types

Uhhhh, I just want some sleep. I lazily type the URL to ALOs' homepage of their website.

And the first thing I see is

"The greats are here. It's been a while since the victims of SAO have awakened. And as Tribute to those who didn't make it, in two quests you will be able to attain two swords which mimic two of the best players in SAO. The first sword, NightFall, is a one-handed sword with the special ability to be able to duel weild with another sword, while also introducing new skills. This is a variation of the Black Swordsmen's unique ability to turn the tide of a battle by able to overpower his enemy with two blades. The second sword, Thunderstrike, is a Longsword that grants the user mind-blowing speed. Stories of the Lightning Swordsmen inspire this weapon as he can be outrun or outwitted by even the fastest of players. Join the hunt to acquire these abilities of some of the people who fought to end SAO....and were successful. And don't forget, only one person can have these swords, so it's first come first serve,"

"Bruh.....they just gave my ability...to a sword that's up for grabs!" I yell in my room

"Shut up!I'm sleeping!" My little brother yells from his room next to mine

"Ya, ya ya ya," I say as I load up ALO. Before I dive in, I tell the others what I'm doing and they are all in.

"Link start," I say as colours rush past me.

When I arrive in ALO, I'm exactly where I thought I would be. In my room at the guild house. However, what I wasn't expecting, was a certain cutey, sleeping soundly beside me.

"I guess she fell asleep while diving again," I say as I carcass her blue hair. She stirs a bit and continues sleeping. I guess recently, Kate has had trouble with sleep. Thankfully for full dive systems, she finds it easier to sleep in a game then in real life.

I jump off the bed and head to the main hall. Our guild hall in SAO was WAY bigger. This one, we only have living quarters, no fancy kitchen, or a training room. Have to admit, it kinda sucks.

"So, I say we get this thing," I declare

"I agree, as much as I'd love for (U/N) to actually be able to fight again..." Jam says giving me the stink eye. This is the result of me literally being useless in any battle

"Not my fault....this game took all my SAO stats, I practically had my speed has high as it would go," I defend myself. In SAO, I had a rather low total HP, I didn't see it as an important stat since you can't use much of that extra HP if you never get hit because every attack misses you.

"We can't let his ability go to anyone, they could easily PK anyone they want," Jam continues

"So how do we start?" I ask

"Right now," she says as I get a notification that my party has started a quest called "Lightning Fast"

"Alright," I say as I see that the quest has a special area

"Ok, I'll teleport us to the special area," Jam says with a smirk

We were teleported, however, it took some time to load must be a big map. But you really didn't notice since the load screen was a montage of my ability. I saw moments from SAO, I say all of my unique skills such as Bolt, Flash, Appearing Slash, invisible Blade, Rumble, and that finale moment, that skill I used to kill Heathcliff, Lightning. Tears started to escape from my eyes as I remembered that moment

By the time the loading screen was done, you would have a good idea of what this sword would be able to do. While also giving tribute to myself as I developed into a powerhouse in SAO like Kirito and Asuna.

"Damn, seeing that gave me goosebumps," Jam says

"Yea, I guess that reminds how dreadful SAO was," Punisher says

"Speaking of SAO, where are the others? Are they going after NightFall?" I ask just noticing that Punisher and Jam were the only ones here.

"Yea, they are helping out Kirito's gang," Jam says

"Ahhh, so I'm the third wheel or what? Don't you two start smooching on me now," I tease. Jam and Punishers face goes red

"W-w-why would we do that?" Jam says stuttering

"Being you two are in L-O-V-E...that's what lovers do," I spell it out for them

Sadly, Punisher took it like a champ," and who's gonna help you if we suddenly get sidetracked," he says pulling Jam in for a kiss. She blushed like a madwoman for the first few seconds but she calmed down after a while.

"Ok let's go," I say braking their romantic scene.

I look around and we are in what looks to be a giant building with almost nothing in it but some corridors. However, there were lots of players walking around in it

" what's the first step?" I ask looking for it on my HUD

"Thunder normally sounds after. Instead, silence and death fill the air before the realization"

"A riddle eh?" I say out loud to the duo

"Yea," Jam says puzzled

"Thunder normally sounds after. Instead, silence and death fill the air before realization.....oh it's Bolt! It's mostly quiet and it happens before you can even blink," I say quietly to the others

"That sounds right," Jam nods

"But where do we from here?" I ask

"Probably to the corridor that says Bolt," Punisher says pointing

"Big brain stuff there," I say as we walk toward it

Once we reached we walked down it, it was quite a big hallway. Eventually, we reached the end, and the only way to continue was to climb. Before us, was a rock climbing wall that went up for about 500Meters

"That's gonna be hard," I say as I start to climb. As we got higher, I noticed that the ledges would start to move. Slowly they would move left to right and in and out

"We need to move faster," I say as I climb faster

The movement got so fast you had to guess the movement of the ledges. Despite this, we all made it to the top

"Wow, that was a challenge," Punisher says huffing and puffing

I walk up to an in-craving that says, "thou shouldn't go to the Lightning Camber if thou aren't ready to run,"

"Ok then," I say as I hit a button that says main lobby. It teleported me to the main lobby. I looked for the lightening hallway and once it saw I went down much like the first one. However halfway, A bolt of lightning struck behind us. And as we continued walking it would come closer and strike more often.

We start to run with all of our might, once we do reach the end, I need to read the in-craving and then get going because that lightning will hit us soon.

"If you aren't worthy, then be alone,"

After I was done, we all run back to the lobby.

"So?" Jam asks for any questions between breaths

"Then we need to the to the worthy hallway," I say

We continued to go do down to every corridor from the clues of the last one. Eventually, we had one left...Heartbreak

"This is gonna be a tough one I think," I say

"Yea, "Punisher and Jam says

We enter the hall and halfway down, I start to see stuff. I see Liz, then Jen, Max, a lot of people. I just keep walking. There even was a nude lady clamping onto me from my back. I just said all this is in my head.

We reached the end and my brain stopped working up. We could see a group of people gathered. As we make our way through, I can see the sword Thunderstrike, but it's on the other side of a 100-meter drop. And wings aren't allowed here.

"give me a launch," I ask Punisher as he smiles I grab a running start and as he boosted me in the air, I used bolt to propel myself even further

It was more than enough as I fly straight to the Longsword. Once I landed, I grabbed the sword and it suddenly becomes mine.

"Hell ya" I say as I starting speeding around to see if that fixed my problem. And sure enough, it did

I speed my way across the drop

"We did it!"
