Zajcica

The time was coming for the end of their battle. While Yuki was confident in her ability to solo the boss, she admired the help from Wulfrin and the company of newcomers to the fray. She hoped they used the experience points they were about to gain would keep them alive in the struggles of Aincrad.

The two spearmen met each other once more. Their steel rang against the walls of the cavern and rejected the thought of flesh. A quick follow up from Yuki would prove nothing but air, allowing the Time King to run her through completely. She coughed heavily as the weapon pierced through her and grabbed hold of it to keep it still as she went in for her own attack. Only about 10% left on his health, Yuki decided it was time to end this. The two would struggle until the paladin found herself on top of him. "Wulfrin! Quick, finish him off no- Gack-!" The hands of the Time King would wrap around her neck making it difficult to talk but still she pinned him to floor. It was up to her dps partner now.

"I had really hoped for a bit of a challenge this time around. I remember so many people complaining about the difficulty of this boss, yet he's nothing but a pushover." Her cockiness was generally negligent to her duty as a tank but when you were at the level the paladin was, the was simply a science to it. Her numbers had gone beyond that of an enemy who's only skills involved high damage output. It was laughable how easy it was to become so invincible that threat was miniscule. "I'm more than happy to help you with the clear Wulfrin. We're all together in this and we should act as such."

The fight continued heatedly as she spoke. The two spearmen charged and clashed as they attempted to get a hit in on the other. Every impact could be heard with the reverberation of steel on steel. The FTK would find the hit before her, sending her flying on her back. The tank slid on the ground in the direction of the two on-lookers. Her sharp pink eyes, modified by in game cosmetics of course, would meet theirs and her lackadaisical expression would quickly change. Taking her eyes off the enemy, though he would find the perfect moment to jump and impale her into the ground with his own spear. Her HP would hardly dip but now she was pinned to the ground.

The FTK's hp would dip much further but his eyes would also lock with the two individuals. Yuki, struggling with the spear in her abdomen would quickly reach for the ankles of her opponent and yank him down giving the two time to move out of the way. He would fall to the floor and Yuki would stand, the spear rising up with her from the ground with a pained growl. "You bastard! I'm the one you should be keeping your eyes on. I'll crush your skull if you even think of hurting them!" She would retrieve her spear and return the favor.

"That's insanely generous of you." Yuki will outright say. The paladin wasn't even aware that there were orphanages amongst the likes of SAO, although she had certainly seen children running around as players... "Oh, and don't worry about it, I'm just an airhead when I'm lost in thought like that. Just looking for something to do myself. Do you need help carrying some of that stuff? I've got some free hands here that are itching to anything but nothing!" She chuckles heartly.

Yuki would attempt to relieve her of some of her load if she needed it and begin to walk with her. In an effort to not make things awkward she would immediately spark up the conversation. "So, are you a frontliner? Your gear looks pretty good. You look a knight clad in tank armor, a shining symbol of chivalry and all that." The pinkette would grin widely at her new friend. She hadn't met this person in the frontlines but that didn't mean she wasn't. There were a good chunk of frontliners she didn't even know the name of.

The battle moved as ferociously as it had begun. Yuki was still waiting for her sword art to come off cooldown and oddly enough, her spear was quite good at keeping the Time King at bay. Clashes between their pole-arms was enough to send smaller rocks and bones scattered through the necropolis flying a few feet.

”Tch, amateur.” Yuki grinned and chuckled. Being cocky was too in her nature thanks to her insurmountable defensive prowess. The King’s spear found a gap in her defense reaching directly for her face. However, the paladin had shown her ability to grab weapons from lesser beings before because it would proc her thorns more often. Her hand gripped the tip of the lance, no damage dealt to her, and without a moment skipped, she bent the spear to one side. A pink light enveloped the room and tore through the King’s chest. A massive red gash and a bent spear was all that was left from their clash. It stumbled back like the shambling corpse it was.

Yuki took note of her HP which gave her a small ding to ensure her 100% reminded her the situation was under control. “ガチるよう。”

Yuki gave her speech, glad that the members understood why she was so firm with them. Wulfrin was nice enough to supply some extra buffs, and even though they were detrimental to her build she would feel bad to not partake on a buff that would otherwise just be wasted. Hopefully the King had some good accuracy.

As the group was finished in their setup, Yuki would turn to the two who were deciding to sit this tribulation out. "I would find cover, I'm known to be destructive." It was untrue, what she just said, but whatever she could do ensure the safety of others was necessary. After all, their deaths would expressly be her fault if something were to happen.

As she approached the Forgotten King, she was caught off guard with how quickly he could move but the buff had made her feel light on her feet. He launched from the dirt covered floors of his tomb, sending bones and skeletons flying in his wake. His spear grazed a weak spot in her armor, and the paladin hardly flinched. "That's all?" Her free hand would reach out to his head, grabbing the large desiccated corpse by the remains of it's face, and slamming it to the ground forcefully. Fire began to circulate her being, lighting everything on fire around her in a golden radiance.

"Disappointing, I had heard you were one of the strongest bosses in the game up to date. You're still nothing compared to the floor bosses. Boring but effective I guess." The Time King's hand would burn away as it touched her arm, crawling his grip until it had hold of her neck. Yuki coughed in surprise as it's overwhelming strength hidden in scrawny muscles lifted her and itself straight from the ground. "Then- ack! I guess we'll see if you can last!"

The King launched his target into the wall and busted forward to follow up, but Yuki's spear found his abdomen first. She would kick him off her lance and ready herself for the next attack.

Yuki would wander into the familiar shop run by Bistro with purpose. She was hours out from one of the greatest fight she would probably participate in. Soloing the Forgotten Time King wouldn’t be easy, so she would need a bit of help from potions. Grabbing a couple of the damage potions from the shelf, she would take them to the counter and lay her total down for the shopkeep.

”Keep up your great work Bistro, Night gave good recommendations for you and I agree with her.” Yuki would bow and take her leave.

Buying 5 Damage potions. 4000 Col.

The Paladin stepped up to platform of the tomb that was surrounded by graves. The single shinning light in the darkness of the necropolis she had brought her party to basically just to watch.

*several hours earlier*

Yuki had awoken from her sleep to learn that a quest she had never done was still on her list of things to do from before she had gone on hiatus. It was one where she would have needed Night’s help back in the day, plus several healing potions. These days, Yuki was basically invincible to anything that wasn’t labeled a floor boss. She could just go and solo the boss if she wanted…

However, that was boring and selfish. If she could solo a four person quest, she would bring along some newbies, or blossoming frontliners. A message would reach out to guilds and on the first floor.

”Hello, I am the Frontline tanker named Yuki. You may have spent time in my shop or seen me fighting along with you against Callisto just weeks ago. I am going to be soloing a boss with three empty slots in my party and I welcome newcomers, either to the frontlines or Aincrad in general, who don’t mind a quick boost. Be there or be square. The fight begins at Noon, Local Time, Floor 21.”

The message is handwritten signed with an extremely neat signature in Japanese.

Fast forward to now: 11:58am Local Time. Yuki stood on the opposite side of her opponent. Her eyes would meet the people coming into tomb she had cleared out herself. Zero mobs would cause them any problems. “Welcome friends.” She would yell over, somehow not aggravating the desiccated corpse of a once revered man. They would all receive party invites. “I have rules for partying with me. Rule 1: Do NOT under ANY circumstances come between me and the enemy. If I tell you, you all will leave without a second thought. Rule 2: Do not try to act like a hero. If you cannot take a hit from a boss like this don’t dare try to engage. Rule 3: Anything that I say is paramount. You will listen, or you might be slaughtered. I hope these rules are reasonable.” The clock ticked to 11:59am, Yuki would notice unsheathing her own massive lance that matched her opponent’s. She was ready to begin one of the toughest fights she’d ever face to this day that wasn’t inside a boss room.

The paladin sighed as she stood as still as possible. Never in her life had she put on a formal kimono from start to finish and it was worse than any enemy in Sword Art Online that she’d ever struggled with. The mountain she climbed that was famously the largest mountain in Aincrad? Easy. Seven layers of fabric over another layer of fabric? Not.

Just then, the tightness increased. “いったたたたたた！まあもう、ちょっと！余りに窮屈な！“ The girl cursed in her mother language as she continued to be dressed by her best friend. She loved the gender affirmation of wearing one when she could just equip it like armor but today was different. It was a lack of respect for her to not go through the process.

Around now, she was wondering how difficult it was for Baldur getting Crozeph dressed. If her memory of traditional weddings was accruate, which it probably wasn’t, Cro was probably getting pretty easy treatment. “I’m sorry for cursing, Night. I just did not expect the process to be like this. The things I have to do just to feel feminine…” Life was slowly coming back to her difficulty but she would quickly shake that off. This was not the day to think about it.

”But this is going to be the best day of my life!”

The pulse of purple fumes wafted and shifted the more the bear tried to graze her with those massive claws. The paladin simply stepped away from it’s front side and charged it with her spear coming just short of putting a scratch on it herself, just when she was starting to feel like she wouldn’t be missing this fight.

The last health bar was more round of attacks away from putting an end to this boss fight but Yuki wasn’t relaxing just yet. Her defensive posture never waned for a moment as she ensured the safety of her comrades and friends. A paladin’s job was to protect those who cannot  protect themselves and she was hellbent on upholding theme of being a shining beacon others can find warmth under. A soft flame in the dead of night making the dark not so scary.

The Paladin was stunned for a moment as she watched Freyd basically rematerialize from his death... They were far from each other and she couldn't really see him from the range but she knew it was him. The feeling in her chest was burning, searing even. "W-We can do this! Like I said, keep the focus away from Freyd's group and give them time to stabilize! Not much longer and we'll be eating good at my place!"

The pink-ette did everything she could to keep her group level-headed in light of the events. Especially after hearing Hirru's battle cry. Everyone was still sticking to plan but it's best they didn't get cocky just because the boss is low HP. Her lance glowed a bright pink and found its way into the beast's chunky flesh. She followed up keeping the bosses attention for her group while they all filed in.

Time would pass slowly and pleasantly as the paladin sipped away her life. She was still waiting for the call from the frontlines regarding a meeting for the boss. Though, that didn’t mean her work stopped. After some time, she had decided that people were probably too nervous to approach her.

So the frontliner removed all of her armor, leaving herself completely unequipped. From there she would toss her finished tea and head into the crowd. It wouldn’t be difficult to find someone struggling.

Managing through the crowd of people, she would nearly collapse when colliding with Ciela. Thankfully, the both of them were around the same size so they didn’t collide too hard. “Oh, my apologies. I wasn’t really paying too much attention.” She studied Ciela, realizing that this girl was clearly not a starter Yuki wondered what she was up to. “Oh, you look well geared! Why are you hanging around a place like this?”

She always knew that this could happen. The moment that she heard Mina's voice echo from behind her with the the name of a cherished friend, Yuki's pink hair would have been akin to a whip with the speed she turned to witness the ongoing death of one of those people. For a moment, she froze. Time stood still to her.

Cold washed over her and suddenly she was back on floor 4 with a really under-geared Freyd. He bowed in front of her with sincerity and spoke: "Thanks Yuki, for offering to help me.  I have a long way to go, but I plan to work hard to get better.  You've opened my eyes to what is possible, and that's more valuable than any item.  I'm extremely grateful." The Paladin stood in awe as reality faded back to rear it's ugly head.

'I inspired him to be here. I brought him to this battlefield... What do I do? I-I can't do anything...' Tears welled in the girl's eyes. 'Freyd! I'm sorry! This time... I'm the one who's useless...'

Sadness quickly turned to anger though. The spear user, raised her weapon and led the charge. "Quick! Take the aggro away from Freyd's team! If we allow Callisto to rampage now it's going to be a blood bath!" She would try to get her team organized without upsetting them. Freyd would want her to protect everyone she can... even if she'd failed at that.

The paladin would finally struggle free, something she may have had trouble with if not for Hirru's barrier. Thanks to that help she was able to wait out the grapple and land a little clumsily on the ground. She would cough out the damp fur and disgusting smell of Callisto's breath from her lungs, not that it helped too much with the current environment but still. "Don't worry, holding on is my specialty." The paladin will yell out to Hirru. "Thanks for the help though, I'm free now! A few more rounds of attacks and he'll be finished. Keep up the pressure!"

Yuki's lance would glow pink as it charged into the bear's skin without hesitation. The satisfying critical effect that appeared before her got her smile really beaming. Her damage meant hardly anything in the grand scheme of things. She was sure that Mina or Ariel had done more damage with a single attack than all of her collective attacks combined. However, the fat steel ass that she was would see them fighting forever at this point and that was the major strategy her build implied - Being a wall that cannot be breached.

Yuki would quickly find herself overwhelmed with the situation. Mist would roll in and the group would quickly lose each other despite how much attention she was paying attention to her group. The paladin sighed and did her best to use her searching powers but it only helped her to see the furry mass that would soon snatch her away.

The paladin struggled to free her spear arm. "くそ。。。” The paladin would curse under her breath. "Night! Ariel! Anyone?! I could use a hand here! One that isn't furred and clawed!" The pinkette would yell out hoping that anyone would come to her rescue but she wasn't sure if they could hear her calls for help. She knew Night would be calm though and help her somehow.

The fuzzy bear was beginning to feel like no pushover but the frontlines still had seen more perilous. The Shadow had given her nightmares for weeks and she was sure that even still there were frontliners who had seen worse. All that to say that her confidence in the others was very high.

The Paladin would see to it that her best friend was released from the jaws of the beast. The barrier around her kept her safe from any large amounts of damage. After trying several times to clench her in its jaws, Callisto would fling NIGHT away. Yuki would quickly fall back to catch her with aplomb before she struck the ground. The knight offered Night a smile as she put her friend back on her feet. “Got your back! Let’s show this bear our strength!” Yuki will say just as the damage buff came in.

She would speed ahead of her sword, spear alight with pink energy and static of electricity. Barely catching Callisto’s leg as he took a step, the spear would penetrate its target. “Stun’s up! Go crazy guys!” The Paladin would rally, putting herself between the target and her allies once again as they all rushed in with sword arts.

Yuki was focused. The group had already had to dealt with her mistakes so she refused to commit another. Things were going relatively well thankfully, despite the jump-scare of Mina’s health dropping drastically low. Yuki would shift her approach from protect the president to offense once again before watching her best friend get yanked away from her unceremoniously.

”NIGHT! Hold on!” She would call out as she reared back her spear and leaped forward attempting to hit the bear as hard as possible in an effort to force its grip loose of her off tank. The spear glared pink as it sank into the meaty flesh of its game. Even with the stun and the attack, however, NIGHT had still been locked down. “We’ll get you out of there, hold on!” She encouraged as she shifted back to defensive posture.

The paladin moved close to her group in a defensive posture, focusing on making sure no one else took a grievous hit like Mina just had. Despite the problems they faced they had gotten the situation under control.

The mist of former fighters caught her attention, mostly because she was keeping an eye out for any potential mobs to have to collect. Luckily they didn’t seem to do much against the groups. Just a memorial to those who dared to challenge Callisto before them, or those that had fallen to plague like he did.

The paladin would see her sword art cooldown roll to ready once more and repeat her simple tactic of poking it not-so-gently in the lower part of its body. The health bar above Callisto’s head was slowly working its way down. This fight was way less intense than the fight with the shadow, or what she remembered of it. Yuki was starting to feel in her element ‘spite the grim situation in which the fight had put them in. She would return to blocking her allies as they moved in to strike, not allowing Callisto any opening on them.

"I've had searching for some time, completely with Night Vision as well. I fear a day where the shadow haunts my dreams..." She will drone off, not wishing to explain the necessity of her choices to console the fears. She could act bold all she wanted but fear plagued her just like any other person. Yet without fear... can one muster courage?

The intricacies of their situation was beginning to form. In all honesty, it warmed her heart to see how quickly the intelligent players of the frontlines band together to fix an avoidable mistake like hers. She was expecting some outrage from her companions but all them seemed rather understanding. She accepted the gifts from her party members and nodded to them all. "We won't let this little setback dampen our resolve of course. Let it be known that this error will not be repeated." Her grin appearing in her usual expression Yuki lifted her spear and crystal. "Ride 'forth my friends and your foes will fall like sakura blossoms in spring! For I am the Paladin Reborn - The shield to your spear!"

The effects of the crystal enveloped her upon it's activation, bringing her to the head of the group's hate and healing them from that devastating blow. The only ones hit this round were her and Mina which made their job a little less stressful if you didn't pay attention to how awful Mina looked after the blow. It really displayed the difference Yuki made with her insane mitigation. She couldn't attest to the dealing the highest damage amongst the people here but her thorns were a backup commodity that was preordained for her enemies. With weapon in hand, a pink blur spearheaded the group into the second round of their attacks just when an opportunity arose for them to approach. The pink hue jammed into the side of the beast with all the might she could muster. She scoffed at her inability to get her bleed to apply but noticed that it had already been applied by another. She quickly then adjusted her strategy to defense, guarding the group members as the began to use their own sword arts.

The paladin sighed and relaxed against the wall of a building in the square of the Town of Beginnings. She was now back into the scene of being a frontliner and really didn't have much to do between the scouting and labyrinth clearing. For that reason, she found herself looking back on her journey of leveling and taking in the sights that she missed thanks to the quickness with which she sped through most of the floors. Her goal at this moment was to see if she could find any low level players who might need help with easy quests, ones where a tank would be beneficial whilst they focused on learning the basics.

Her armor would make her a clear outsider when it came to roaming around the starting town but perhaps people might be too spooked to approach a player of her status. Nevertheless she relaxed until anything might come up, enjoying a nice cup of green tea she prepared herself.

The Paladin spearheaded her group towards the bosses’ territory, confidence oozing in a radiation of pride. The arena was a gruesome sort that pushed a mind towards despair but the Paladin had seen worse. By now she was sure the other frontliners were just as hardened to such sights as well. It was a trait one developed in the struggle for freedom.

However, just as the bear made itself known, Yuki quickly began to realize her errors: She had forgotten to rearrange her build from her solo playstyle and had no way of generating hate to keep the attention on herself. She quickly began unloading her inventory to find any old crystals she might have for healing since that generated hate. Yuki would throw Night would throw an apologetic glance. “Night, my skills aren’t properly allocated. I’m missing some key tank abilities. Does the party have extra healing crystals I can use to generate hate? I’m sorry.”

Despite her slip up Yuki had to make do with what she had and assist her party with the menial amount of damage she could provide. The Paladin took her spot as laid out in the raid plan, stabbing at the legs of the beast with her spear. Aki would quickly aid her, making the wound ever so slightly worse with her claws.

The slam to the stone caught her attention just as she had finished her speech. And there was only just a split second of what idiot just fell from nowhere before she’d realized it was her idiot. “Cro?! What are you doing?! Trying to kill yourself before you even walk into the boos room?” She’ll rush over to make sure that he’s okay.

It had been quite a long time since the two had spoken with each other. When she was upset and depressed she preferred to deal with those emotions on her own, much to the dismay of her closest friends. Though she wondered if he had gotten her message not about her climbing Mt. Rabten. She would help him off the ground and to his feet quickly. “After the raid I’m going to treat everyone to a meal. So stay safe and let’s get this done. Then we’ll talk about what a terrible fiancée I am.” She’ll encourage him with a smile.

They weren’t in the same party but with her and the other tanks at the front there shouldn’t be a worry about people making it out alive. The frontlines weathered tough fights and today would be no different.

It took some convincing, coming to the boss fight. She’d been out of the loop for so long now, it felt like, that she was beginning to think that maybe she wouldn’t belong. Long did she sit in Glyndebourne next to the teleportation terminal out of direct sight watching those who came after her head towards the boss room. Familiar faces and new fighting for liberation. After quite a few had already passed and she herself noticed the arranged time was approaching, Yuki downed the rest of her drink and plopped it back down on the table for staff to retrieve.

The paladin would eventually find herself in the labyrinth, quickly locating the groups who were just about to enter the room. The best she could remember was that she was in group 1 with NIGHT as an off tank. Weird to be honest but she knew plenty who would redesign their build to fill a role. She would approach her group casually. “Yo.” The paladin will grin, the fears she had washing away almost immediately. “Sorry I’m here last minute. I needed proper preparation before this.”

Night had promised to get food for the group so Yuki didn’t bother bringing any of her own. After partaking in them she would look to her group. “I’m your tank for today. Keep your distance from me for any cleaves and be aware of any possible AoE’s that could get you low. Other than that, I’ll take the punishment while you dish it out then we head back to Yuki Izakaya for a free banquet for all. How does that sound?”
