Right now, Yami and the others continued
fighting against The Skull Reaper. With him,
Asuna, Kirito, Yuna, Nautilus and Heathcliff fighting at the front lines, distracting it while the other players were damaging it from the sides. With Yami, he countered one of The
Reaper's scythe from reaching a player. The
player nodded gratefully at him, as he then
continued the attack by charging at the boss,
with all the other players.

Suddenly, The Skull Reaper cried in pain, as
Heathcliff noticed that the Boss's life was
nearing depletion, meaning that it was nearly to be defeated.

Heathcliff: Everyone, attack!

After attacks by attacks, The Skull Reaper
slowly begins to lie down, indicating that it
was slowly being defeated.

Yami: Everyone, get back!

Everyone looks back at him, as they
immediately comply with his order, backing
away from the Boss, letting Yami the path
towards the Boss.

Yami crouched down, as his sword Zangetsu
glowed golden, preparing to attack. He then
dashes off, like a crater formed from where he
was crouching.

Yami: Time to finish you off!

Yami leaping towards the air, the path
where he was going was straight to the boss.
He then raised his sword and attacks it with <Stinger> <Million Stabs> <Overdrive>and immediately swung doing multiple hits of his his sword to the side of the Boss, causing the Boss to instantly lay down on the ground by the force of Zangetsu. Meanwhile, the Reaper's HP was close to being depleted from Yami's strike, then it was from the players damaging it before.

The Skull Reaper looks up at Yami, as it
sends one of his scythes towards him to
kill him, but Yami just stays there. Just as
when the scythe was approaching Yami,
he immediately slices off the scythe with Zangetsu causing the Boss to scream in pain. Yami then put his feet on the sliced scythe, and he jumps higher in the air than he was before, by using the scythe as leverage.

Seeing as he was a little above the Boss, he
looks down at the Boss.

Yami: You're finished! GETSUGA TENSHOU!!

He raising his sword and swings the sword up shooting out a wave of spiritual energy.

It dealt more damage, more than the game can handle. It was already gone. Everyone was dropped to the floor breathing heavily.

Klein: how many did we lost?

Kirito opens his menu.

Kirito: 5 have only died since Yami was faster...

Agil: no way...

Everyone was shocked to hear that that nobody only five players have died.

Klein: only 25 floors we have to go...

Agil: will we be able to reach towards the top?

Yami looks up towards Heathcliff who wasn't even tired. He grabs Kirito's Dark Repulser and went towards him.

Kirito: Yami what are you doing?

He ignores him and swings the sword but it reflected.

Asuna: What are you...

Asuna then saw the notification above
Heathcliff and was completely shocked.

Asuna: System granted immortality? What is the meaning of this, Commander...?

Yami: you're not hard to figure out...I knew this since day one...I had to keep it silent.. this man is protected by the system itself so his HP will never go to the yellow zome. Where is his hiding while watching us and regulates this world? Something a small child would know. There's nothing more boring than watching others play an RPG from the sidelines. Don't you agree, Kayaba Akihiko? You calling yourself a god? You're nothing.

Kayaba: for my reference, tell me how did you figure that out?

Yami: so simple. I knew this from the very beginning, you're the final boss of this game. What a twist? No you're shit using hacks you're not the strongest you're a coward. I've gotten my powers awakened because I knew about and worked on them during the time meditating. You will be a virgin game and I'll be the winner.

Kayaba: yes, I'm the game's final boss that will waits from the top floor. Well, these unexpected events are what makes an MMORPG so thrilling.

One of the players from the Knights of the Blood Oath gotten mad and tries to attack but Kayaba opens his menu and paralyzed him.

Kirito: Paralysis?

Then everyone were now paralyzed even Kirito was affected but not Yami.

Kayaba: strange you're not paralyzed like them.

Yami: heh, come on big man let's finish this game.

He walks towards Heathcliff as Agil shouts his name.

Agil: Yami!!

Yami: Agil...thanks for supporting the swordsman class all this time. I knew it all about it...that you spend most of your earnings helping the middle zone players to improve...may you be blessed by the lord and I'll make sure you'll return to your wife and have a family.

Agil: Yami...

Yami: Klein...Kirito is sorry for leaving you behind from that time. Even though we've rarely met I'll help you get a girlfriend and be happy. You're my man once you have a wedding I'll be your wingman and you'll do the same for me.

Klein: dammit, Yami!! Don't take Kirito's apology to me right now!! Thank you my friend!! I swear I won't forgive you and Kirito until one of you buy me a meal on the other side!!

Yami: you got it my homie...

He looks at his in game wives and husband. He breaths in and out.

Yami: I want to tell everyone.

Then he did.

Yami: everyone!! My level is not level 100!! I'm level 300 maxed level.

Everyone was shocked to heat this news from Yami even Kayaba didn't expected it.

Yami: yes it's shocking!! But if I didn't came here you'll all be dead!! I want to protect the best I can...I've failed before but now I'll never let any of you die and I want you all to find a better future in your lives!! Kayaba you'll be making sure that you'll remember this...also if I'm gone missing take care of Kirito, Asuna, Sachi, Yuna, Silica, and Lisbeth for me...

Kayaba: very well...I'll do my best...

Yami: Kirito...please take care of Yui for me if I'am missing and tell her that papa loves her like a daughter.

Kirito: yeah I'll do it for you...my...love...

Sachi: no don't do this!!

Asuna: please!! It's not fair!!

Yami: don't interfere the fight!!! I'm not letting you take the hit!!

This silent them as the risk they would've been taken.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

(SAO abridged did first)
He puts up a force field so no one can be hurt from their attacks and have them interfere. He charges up and screams.

Yami: HAAAAAAAAAAA!!! COME ON!! YOU CAN AWAKEN THE LEGEND OF THE SAIYANS!! COME ON!!

Then the ground began to shake. As everyone even from the other floors looked up to see a yellow pillar above.

Yami: YEEEHHHAAAAA!!!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

His hair turned yellow and his eyes were pale green blue with top of his clothes ripped and Florid Sakura was glowing red.

Yami: I'll make you regret that you made this into death game and had many players being killed by your foolish dream. I'll defeat you...

Yami: Kayaba Akihiko....

He heals him back at full health as Kayaba made himself a mortal object. Yami blasted towards the final boss himself. He swings the shield and it was taking damage.

Kayaba: he's fast, very fast and my shield is now taking damage...

Yami swings Florid Sakura to attack Kayaba's weapon and Kayaba attacks Yami but...

Each attack that Kayaba did were being reflected by Yami who didn't flinched at all. He hits Kayaba taking some of his health down. Kayaba uses <Sonic Leap> and stabs Yami's stomach. He pulls it out but Yami's health regenerated.

Kayaba: what!?

Yami: one thing you forgotten...plot armor bitch!!

Kayaba charges Yami who swings out his Katana upwards.

Yami: you're took slow!!

He uses shunpo and his speed was faster even Kayaba the final boss couldn't catch up to him. Yami strikes Kayaba multiple times on to his chest causing major damage as his health was now near to be red. Kayaba uses a potion to heal up and he was back on yellow almost to green. Kayaba uses <Howling Octave> begins with a right to left horizontal slash. Kayaba then rotates the sword by ninety degrees and performs a vertical slash from bottom to top. Finally, Kayaba unleashes a full-powered vertical slash from top to bottom damaging Yami.

Yami: heh that hurts a little.

He shot barrages of Ki blast and Kayaba blocks them but it was too much for his shield to handle. Then it was destroyed leaving him only his sword. Kayaba uses <Horizontal Arc>, A flat two-part skill that involves a horizontal swing from left to right, followed by a second horizontal swing from right to left. It hits Yami but he didn't flinch and smirks.

Yami: come on you can do better...

Everyone on the floor were watching the fight. Everyone were shocked that even Yami who was taking damage was regenerating well Agil, Asuna and Kirito known a bit of his regeneration ability but it wasn't to this amount.

Kayaba: this is not what I expected.

Yami: heh let me show you my sword skills.

He uses <High Time> and propel Kayaba upward with a mighty sword slash and did <Helm Breaker> devastating overhead attack and slammed Kayaba down lowering his health to red.

Kayaba: you're actually beating me down.

Yami puts away his sword and backs away. He puts down the force field, he cures the paralyzed effect and teleported everyone away. He cupped hands are drawn to the user's side and ki is concentrated into a single point.

Yami: KAME....HAME....HAAAAAA!!!

His hands are then thrust forward to shoot out a streaming, powerful beam of energy. This defeated Kayaba, destroying part of the castle where everyone can see the Ki Beam and the system couldn't understand it so it gave him a Game Over. Yami passes out from the amount of Ki he was using as his eyes were going to close he sees polygons floating up to the sky meaning he cleared the game.
(End Song)

(Sachi's POV)

We were all teleported back to floor 55 as everyone were surprised. Yami wasn't with us I was getting scared I looked all over him and I remember that he's fighting Kayaba all by himself. Kirito and the rest found me. I was crying that Yami could be dead but we heard a shout coming from the 75th floor.

(Lisbeth's POV)

We've found Sachi but Yami wasn't with her. She was crying that Yami might be dead and everyone have to continue the rest of the game. We were dating for a couple of months now along with Sachi, Asuna, Kirito, Yuna and Silica now and we lost him but we heard his shout and saw a beam coming out of the castle and everyone were shocked to see it.

(Nobody's POV)

As the game was finished an announcer was now speaking.

Announcer: As of 2:55 PM, November 7, the game has been now clear.

Everything went to white.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Yami opens his eyes and he was on the sky, he knows about this part.

Yami: it's initiating final phase...heh...

He hears the voices behind him.

Sachi: Yami?

He turns around to see them here they all hugged him.

Asuna: I though you died you dummy!!

Yami: like I said I'll never died.

Kirito: where are we?

Yuna: look down.

The all look down to see Aincard crumbling and they saw the house and they were sadden until they heard a voice.

????: quite a view.

They turned to see the man who created SAO itself.

Kirito: Kayaba Akihiko...

Kayaba: the SAO mainframe, located in the fifth level basement at Argus HQ, is deleting all data on it's storage devices. In 10 minutes or so, everything in this world will vanish.

Asuna: what's happened to the people down there?

Kayaba: you don't need to worry about them. Just a moment ago, the remaining 6,147 players were logged out.

Lisbeth: what about the others who died?

Silica: yeah the 4,000 people that died in the game?

Kayaba: their souls will never return. The dead vanish from out midst. It's the same in any world.

Sachi: why...why did you do this?

Kayaba: why, you asked? It's been so long that I've forgotten myself. I wonder why...when I began developing the full drive environment system...No, long before that, creating that castle, a world that surpassed all our laws and all of our restrictions, was my only desire and what I lived for. And now I've been able to see something that surpassed my own world's laws...

He looks down on the crumbling castle that he created.

Kayaba: how old was I, when I was obsessed with the fantasy of a steal castle that floated in the sky? I wanted to leave the ground to fly to that castle. For a long, long time that was my only desire...You know, Yami and Kirito, I believe even now that in some other world that castle truly exist.

Yuna: yeah, I'm hoping you're right.

Kayaba: I forgot to tell you all something. Congratulation on clearing the game, Yami, Sachi, Kirito, Asuna, Yuna, Silica, and Lisbeth. Now then I must be going.

Yami: wait I want to speak with you alone before you leave.

He uses telepathy on Kayaba.

Kayaba: what is it, Yami?

Yami: have you heard the name Sugou Nobuyuki?

Kayaba: oh him yes why?

Yami: I'll tell you this...I'm not from this world. I'm from Reality, the Fourth Wall.

Kayaba: interesting...

Yami: yes I'm one of the Observers that sees everything because of your creator.

Kayaba: my creator?

Yami: yes he created well back then he wasn't that good on pacing, some stuff that I wish it was changed*coughs* Fairy Dance Arc Opening*coughs Asuna and tentacles*coughs* but he improved over the years but still. Everyone including myself knows about the events including...deaths. I couldn't do anything but see them die or suffer. Right now Once Sword Art Online (SAO) is cleared, thus disabling the security of the SAO servers, Sugou is now able to hack into the SAO server via router and reroute the minds of three hundred SAO players including Asuna, to ALfheim Online. He then utilized these players as test subjects for research on controlling peoples' emotions and memories.

Kayaba: what!?

Yami: yes he made Asuna as the Fairy Queen, Titania. Give Kirito the necessary stuff to log in with your ID but not right now, I have to leave some of events alone...

Kayaba: I see....thank you...Yami...goodbye...

Then he vanished.

Kirito: I guess this is goodbye?

Yami: no it's not our goodbye. We'll see each other in the real world.

Asuna: I want to know Yami is that your real name?

Yami: yep.

Asuna: well my name is Asuna Yuuki, I'm now 17 years old.

Kirito: Kirigaya. Kazuto Kirigaya I think I turned 16 last month.

Silica: Ayano Keiko, 15 years old.

Yuna: Shigemura Yuuna, 17 years old.

Lisbeth: Shinozaki Rika, I'm also 17 years old.

Sachi: Sachi, I'm also 17 years old.

Yami: heh well now we know our actual names I might prefer your avatar names since I'm more used to it than your real life names but I have to get use to real names than the avatar names. We'll see each other on the other side...

Everyone hugged each other as everything went white. Kirito wakes up, blinking to get his bearings. He looks around and looks at his hands which were not looking so good. He grabs on the NerveGear as he remembers Asuna, everyome but more of Yami who helped him, been with him since he saved the Moonlit Blackcats, fought many bosses, saved people, teleported away so Yami can do the Kamehameha on Kayaba. He sits up and slowly takes off his NerveGear, his hair was longer since he's been in the game for two years. He grabs a heart monitor and walks slowly as he had not eating in two years.

Kirito: Y...a...m...i

The door opens and he leaves his room.

Kirito: Ya...mi...A...su...na....

Then he continues walking...

End of Volume, end of first arc and now the second arc...
