The Beater part 2

Both Kirito and Asuna barely got any sleep, luckily Diabel thought ahead on that and decided they would make their crusade on the boss room at 10:00 am Sharp to give people some extra rest and time to prepare weapons, armor, and healing items beforehand. Kirito had just woken up. She checked her menu's clock to determine it was 8:00 am "2 hours eh?, hmm maybe Asuna wants to get breakfast with me.". Kirito got to know what kind of person Asuna was, She was polite, but kinda blunt sometimes, She was nice and sometimes overly so, and was pretty shy. Even though Kirito was a girl Asuna appeared to still have slight trust issues with her, as Kirito had never seen her Entire face, She never took off her cloak at all yesterday so Kirito only got to see her jaw but not her eyes or hair. She simply accepted the fact some people weren't ready to show their real faces, she hated how her face looked but decided people would be less likely to pick on her if she had a sword hanging over her shoulder, so she didn't worry much. She then sent a message to Asuna :Hey Asuna it's Kirito I was wondering if you wanted to get breakfast and warm up before we fight the boss... there's also something I need to tell you:. After she sent the message she got ready for the day equipping all her armor and weapons and washing her face before she got a reply from Asuna :Sure! That sounds great i just got dressed where do you want to meet?: , :Maybe at the restaurant we ate at yesterday?: Kirito replied :Sounds Great I'll be there in a jiffy!: and with that Kirito headed out, it was time to tell Asuna that She was a beta tester.

As Kirito walked to the agreed meeting spot she thought back on the meeting before She and Asuna went out for Lunch.

"Alright looks like everyones teamed up, now then-" Diabel was cut off by an unknown voice "HOLD UP A SEC!!!" Everyone turned to look behind them at the origin of the voice. There was a man standing at the top of the amphitheater who suddenly jumped down to the main stage. When he got to the main stage he looked at Diabel and introduced himself "My name Kibou got that! Before we take on the boss I want to get something off my chest! We all know about the 2000 people who have died so far yeah? Well some of you need to apologise right now!" The crowd was confused and started Whispering to each other trying to figure out what hell he was on about, Kirito and a few others knew what he was talking about, Kirito was genuinely scared they would find her out and a cold sweat started to form on her forehead. Diabel spoke up "Kibou, i think i know who you're referring to, you mean the ones referred to as .ex beta testers. Is that right", "course i mean them! The day this game started the beta guys just up and vanished! Right!?! They snagged all the good hunting spots and they grabbed all the easy quests too! They were the only ones getting stronger in here, this whole time they've ignored us like we're nothing! HELL! I bet there's some of them here! Come on out beta testers! We should make them apologize to us! And we should make them give out all their money and items they got! They can't expect the party to trust them when they dont trust us! Why should we!". Kirito was nervous beyond belief she was genuinely afraid she was going to get mugged for all her money and items, she hoped her despicable appearance some might call "cute" could throw some people off her trail "Can i say something?" A large African American man with a bald head and a battle Axe on his back asked as he stood up. As he walked toward Kibou it dawned on her this man was at least 6 and a half feet tall and possessed great strength. The man introduced himself "Hey my names Agil. Kibou right? I wanna make sure we're on the same page here. You're saying that the Beta testers should take the blame for all the rookies death because they didn't help them, and you want them to apologize and give up their winnings? I leave anything out?" Asked Agil in a calm and composed manner to make himself seem less intimidating and more rational. "No you didnt" Kibou replied, Agil reached down into his back pocket and pulled out a small brown book with a cover made of leather, "The item store hands these out for free. It's a guide book you all got one didn't you?", "Of course I got one, so what about it" Kibou asked. "You know who was handing these out? The .ex Beta testers." The crowd was in shock none of them appeared to realise that the beta testers gave their info to Argo, an info broker to have the book compiled. Kibou had a nasty look on his face as his plan was being snuffed out like a fire, Agil continued "Listen up! Everyone had equal access to this information, yet even so lots of players still died. Now I didn't come here to point fingers at anyone, I came here because I want to learn from those players deafs, I'm here because I want to figure out how to beat the boss!" Kirito suddenly felt a lot better and was glad this man managed to use logic to make Kibou shut up. Agil then turned around and faced Kibou who decided to give up and sit down to hear the rest of what Diabels' plan was.

As Kirito was walking to the meet up spot she saw Agil talking to some players in the local Bazaar and thought it'd be a time for her to thank him.

As Agil finished discussing the upcoming boss fight with his fellow party members he noticed a young, short, black haired girl running towards him. She stopped a few feet away from him so she didn't have to crane her neck too bad to look him in the eyes and Said "Hello its Agil right, im Kirito i was at the raid meeting yesterday" she then bowed which surprised Agil "im very thankful to you for stepping up and making Kibou calm down i was scared there was going to be fight" Agil replied "It was nothing, i was doing what i had to do. But i didn't see you at the meeting?", "I was sitting near the top behind you so i saw the whole thing, i was just thinking about it and i saw you so i figured it was better late than never.", " I see, any way don't mention it, i personally don't like the idea of hunting beta testers down like its the Salem witch trials, so i felt i had to do something", "Yeah i know what you mean, anyway i have to meet up with my party member, good luck during the boss fight!", "You too!" Agil said, waving the girl off, he was glad that at least some of the youth in this game had not been corrupted by people like Kibou.

As Kirito continued she thought about the rest of the plan Diabel had come up with.

As Kibou sat down you could see the fury painted on his face, but Diabel paid it no mind and went on with the plan. "Ok, can we get back to the meeting now?" Everyone shook their heads as Diabel pulled out a guide book of his own. "For info on the boss it's all in here, the latest issue of the guide book our friend Agil just told us about. According to the book the bosses name is Illfang the kobold lord, also he'll be aided by his minions the Ruined Kobold sentinels. Illfang carries an Axe and a Buckler so expect his attacks to be slow but powerful and his defence to above average. He has 4 health bars and when the last one turns red he switches to a long curved like sword called a Talwar, he can change his pattern of attack to." Everyone started whispering among themselves they had never faced a floor boss yet and were wondering what he meant by changing his pattern of attack. Diabel closed the book "Well that's it for the briefing, as for the distribution of money, it will be equally divided among every one, the party that defeats the boss gets the exp, And whoever gets an item gets to keep it, they earned it. Any objections?" Kirito was fine with these rules, it was fair and Diabel wasn't trying to get any special reward for leading them as a commander of sorts, " Alright then we'll meet up here to take on the boss room at 10:00 a.m. sharp. Now then to go over the specifics..." Kirito quickly snapped back to reality when she noticed Asuna outside the restaurant.

Asuna had been waiting for about 20 minutes and was starting to get worried about little Kirito, she knew Kirito was extremely talented with a sword but still..., then all doubt faded away as Asuna saw the adorable swordswoman walking towards her. Asuna making sure to restrain herself from running to her, as walked toward Kirito and said "Hello Kirito!" Kirito replied with "hello, i'm sorry if i made you wait long", "oh no, don't worry i just got here myself" Asuna didn't know why she lied about waiting for 20+ minutes but she brushed it off as Kirito asked if they should head in and order. Kirito advised Asuna to order something with a lot of carbs and protein, or something that looked like it did at least. It would be the most filling and would give her the most energy for the boss fight in 1:30 minutes. So Asuna took the suggestion and ordered some pancakes with bacon and sausage, whilst Kirito ordered an Egg sandwich with extra bacon. After eating Kirito finally decided it was time to tell Asuna. "Hey can we go somewhere private? There's something important I need to tell you" Asuna seemed surprised, what could Kirito have to talk to me about? "uhh sure got any ideas?", "Yeah follow me" Kirito said. The two went to the roof of the restaurant and Kirito finally mustered up the courage to tell Asuna, "Asuna, i... i...", Asuna could tell Kirito had something heavy on her mind and was struggling to find the right words to say... WAS THIS A CONFESSION OF LOVE!!! But then remember Kirito Hadn't seen her face yet and only had known her for about a day, " i... im a... im a beta tester.", Asuna's eyes widened is so this is what Kirito had on her mind, to bad a confession would have been nice, but this wasn't a time to joke Asuna had heard the rumors about Beta testers being hunted down like witches and had seen some degree of this yesterday at the mission briefing. Kirito's face was held down as if she had done something wrong, " Dont worry about it, i won't sell you out, you haven't done a thing wrong." Asuna assured her adorable companion she didn't think of her any differently than before, Kirito simply replied with "Thank you". Asuna then thanked her right back "NO! Thank you for trusting me enough to tell me that, and now I have even more faith in you to watch my back". It was the first moment the two of them ever really had together they ended it off with a nod to each other and decided to stock up on gear and buy some upgrades for their armor. As they left however they failed to notice one thing, a man with blue hair hiding behind the door to the roof, this man was none other than Diabel.
