Symphony

Appoved! Welcome to SAO!

Symphony felt her armor glow once more and heal the gash in her stomach. She gave a deep sigh of relief. The healing aspect of her armor had taken the edge off the pain quite a bit. "Alright, now it's time for payback," she growled as she activated her sword art, her blade glowing blue. She dashed forward, attempting to slash through the bandit chief's armor, but he managed to block and parry each attack. She grew more frustrated as more and more of her attacks did not hit. The bandit chief laughed as he blocked each of her attacks. "I see you haven't improved that much since I first saw you after all," he taunted. Symphony's eyes locked onto him, furious that she couldn't land a hit. 

As he kept blocking her attacks, she leaped back, taking a moment to catch her breath. She glanced over at Katsuki and her eyes widened with concern and surprise. She needed to finish this quick so that she could go help her love. She turned back to the enemy in front of her, a look of determination on her face.

Symphony could hear the fighting of the other group next to her. She needed to finish things up so that she could go check on her love. Again, her armor glowed with a red aura as her health partially regenerated. She took a deep breath in, feeling her body relax as the pain flowed away from her injuries. 

"Ah, healing armor I see," the bandit chief commented. "So you really came prepared to kill me." He began to pace around her, smirking. "You're going to finally take a human life. You'll become like one of us." He gestured to himself and back over to the other fight. "We'll be even that way I suppose. Both tainted. Both of our souls bound for hell. Ooo, does that mean we'll get to dance the devil's dance one day?" He grinned. 

Symphony stayed silent, the thought of actually killing another person finally hitting her. But she tried not to let her expressions show. She knew that that would only give him more leverage against her. "Ha, you'll still be in the deepest pits of hell. You've done far worse than me, [censored name]. Now it's time for me to deliver you to your own judgement day." With these words, she dashed forward, launching another assault. 

They clashed their blades against each other for a few turns until the bandit chief quickly feinted and attacked into Symphony's gut. He slashed it open and she fell back, gripping at the gash. She managed to dash back to safety, the pain a new sting. She gritted her teeth. She wouldn't be going down that easily.

Dust acted as a screen between the two separate battles taking place. Symphony grew a bit nervous at not being able to see her other half, but she quickly focused on the battle at hand. She took a deep breath and focused all her attention on her blade. Her armor began to glow red, the regeneration enhancement beginning to work. The wound in her side healed immediately, leaving just a light scratch on the skin. 

"Come and get me love," the man across for her teased. This angered Symphony further. She charged, slashing four times into him and taking one hit in return. She grabbed her chest and jumped back to safety. As she moved her hands away, she saw a gash in her skin and armor. 

"You will never win this fight," she said, her voice firm. 

"I won the last one, didn't I?" he returned, grinning mischievously. 

"Look at my health and look at yours," she rebuked confidently.

Symphony was glad that Katsuki was having better luck than her. However, she was growing more and more frustrated with each blow that her enemy parried or blocked. 

"Ah, sweetheart. It seems you can't even beat me now," the man teased. "But now it's my turn to take you down." A wide grin spread across his face as he charged towards her, sword coming down on top of her. She tried to dodge out of the way, but a gash opened in her side, the blade cutting through her armor and into her skin. She growled and attacked his back as his momentum kept taking him straight forward. She stabbed straight into his back four separate times, making him let out a cry of pain. 

"Ah, I see I've made the little kitty angry," he laughed. "But it'll take more than that to kill me."

"Then I'll slice you into as many little bits as I have to to take you down," Symphony challenged back.

Symphony watched as her love went down kneeling. Oh no, please get back up. She let out a sigh of relief when he did. 

Then she turned her attention back to her opponent. With a yell of anger, she charged at him, bringing her blade down. He quickly blocked it with a sword, and for a few moments, it was a battle of strengths. As their blades clashed against he each other, he said, "Ah, once I kill your boyfriend, then I'll take you back as my own. Then we'll be a happily family again." 

Symphony pushed herself away from the man by forcing her blade against his, throwing him a few feet away as well. "Shut your mouth. We may be evenly matched in power right now, but I will be the one to kill you. I won't let you get a chance to attack him." She grimaced as she tried to think of a plan. I need this next attack to land so I can finally do some damage to him. Meanwhile, Cloak flew above her, watching the battle.

Symphony glanced over just in time to see her love take a sword though the gut. Her eyes widened with fear, but then she realized that the game was like that. She looked back to her own opponent just in time to see him charging towards her, obvious as ever. Her expression turned serious as she dodged to the side and attempted to strike out at him, but he jumped away at the last moment and managed to dodge her blade. 

"Stand still so I can kill you," her tone serious and monotone. 

"Ha, like I would give the chance," the bandit chief grinned. "My little mockingbird." 

Her eyes grew wide, hatred seeping into them. "You will never call me that again!" she yelled as she charged towards him once more, chasing him around with her blade. But he kept dodging at the last second. It was growing ever more frustrating to her. She hoped that Katsuki was faring better in his struggle.

Symphony couldn't help but smile, seeing her strong handsome fiance walking towards the bandits. She was confident that he would be able to handle himself. Meanwhile, she sighed and faced the new task at hand. Him. 

"Hello, darling!" she heard his voice shout to her. She looked straight ahead at him. 

"Hello, coward," she answered back, readying her blade. 

"Ah, so you finally came to get your revenge? I see you're prepared. Oh? And what is this? Did you bring your new boyfriend along?" The man laughed. 

Symphony grimaced and charged at him. "Shut your mouth!" she screamed as she brought her blade down upon him. However, he managed to dodge the move on time. Next, he counter-attacked, but she was prepared and dodge his attack as well. 

"Oh it seems we're nearly evenly matched," he said, grinning. 

I'll wipe that grin off your face soon enough, Symphony thought as she glanced over at Katsuki to see how he was doing. "Watch out!" she yelled to him as she saw the first bandit charge.

Symphony couldn't help but blush and close her eyes, leaning into the kiss. It ended too quickly when he pulled away. She placed her hand on his cheek and smiled. "Thank you, my love, for working together with me on this." She squeezed his hand in hers as they walked. She led him up to the third floor where the bandits had relocated after Symphony had escaped, afraid that the town's guard would come to get them. 

Her eyes turned serious the closer they got to the cave where he and his team was stationed. Her tone was suddenly serious as she spoke to Katsuki. "He was around level 6 or 7 when I last was captured by him. He should be around 8 or 9 now. He will have at least two bandits with him. You will handle the two bandits. He will want to face me himself." Her free hand clenched and a grimace spread across her face as she formed her next sentence. "There will be women inside guarded by bandits that will also need to be freed. Though I have a feeling that once their leader is killed, the lesser bandits will all flee."

She looked at her equipment and cursed herself. She knew she didn't have enough to take him on, but she couldn't go back now. 

She quickly equipped her blue light armor and dagger as they grew nearer. She had 2 beginner health potions in her quick inventory, ready to use if needed. 

Suddenly, Symphony heard noise up ahead, she ducked behind a few bushes to get a better look while staying hidden, dragging Katsuki along with her. Up ahead they spotted the bandit king (her ex lover and captor) and two bandits, just as she had predicted. Above her, her familiar Cloak had appeared as well, ready to fight by her side. As she glanced over the stats of the enemies in front of them, she was surprised to see that the bandit chief had barely leveled at all.

Symphony couldn't help but jump with surprise as she saw her love stand up and launch the chair across the room. Her eyes were filled only with concern as she chased after him, trying to reach him before he left the town. "Katsuki, stop!" she begging, pulling on his hand once they had reached the street, trying to hold him back. "Listen to me, my love!" she said as she raced around and stood in front of him, her eyes looking up into his. "You're not doing this alone, and besides you don't know where he is. I'm coming with you." For once, she used a stern tone with him, her expression serious. 

Then she sighed, everything hitting her all at once. She sighed and buried her head in his chest. "Just promise me that once this is all over," she said quietly, her voice muffled by the fabric of his shirt. "Promise me that we'll start a new life with no worries or regrets." A small sniffle escaped from where she had stuffed her face into his chest. "I love you, and I want us to be able to live a carefree life without anyone standing in our way." She raised her head back up, looking up at him once more. "And there's no way that you can make me stay here while you do all the dangerous work," she said, a sad smile across her lips.

Symphony smiled as she he kissed her head. She sighed. "How is it, that even just one kiss from you can make me feel so much better?" She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. Then she straightened herself in her chair, her hands clasped around the tea cup. This was the moment. She took a deep breath in. 

"Katsuki, there's something I've been keeping from you." She looked deep into his eyes as she spoke. "There are some things you don't know about me. Like how I got into this game and who I used to..." She paused and looked away, sighing. "Who I used to be with," she continued. "When, I first joined the game, I had been dating a very bad man..." She went on over the next half hour explaining what that man had done to her before and as soon as the game started. 

After she finished explaining, she took a moment to let Katsuki absorb it all. "This may all be overwhelming, but there's one last thing I have to do before our wedding day." She clasped his hands in hers. "I need to kill this man." She stayed silent for a few moments, her eyes flitting back and forth between his, trying to tell what he was thinking. Her voice grew quiet as she relaxed, her hands still holding his. "He took many things away from me, my love. My freedom, my sense of safety... I had promised since I escaped from him that I would not let him live out his days in peace. And I intend to keep that promise." After this last sentence, she stayed quiet, waiting for his response.
