Hiro (POV)
We ran until away from that room until we couldn't run anymore. We collapse by a rock structure.
Asuna- That one's gonna be tough to beat.
Hiro- You're telling me. I dealt with bunch of things from laughing coffin to big monsters but this one tops them all. That dude is just ridiculous.
Kirito- I saw he only had one big sword and I'm pretty sure it's got special attacks too.
Asuna- We're gonna have to put tanks in the front row and keep switching out just to wear it down.
Hiro- Yeah, and it wouldn't help to have about ten shield users.
Asuna- Shield users huh?
Hiro- What? What's the problem.
Asuna- You are. In fact both you and Kirito are the problem. You two are hiding something aren't you?
Kirito- What are you talking about?
Asuna- I just realized something. The biggest advantage using a one handed weapon is that you can use a shield. But you know what, I don't think I've seen either of you use one. I don't use a shield because it'll slow down my rapier. Another's don't because they think it looks dumb.
Kirito- Hmph.
Hiro- So what if we don't use shields.
Asuna- How come either of you aren't using the swords you commissioned from Liz?
Hiro- What?! How'd you know about that?
Asuna- Kirito told me about it after you left the shop and I came in about a minute later. Either way, it's pretty suspicious.
Hiro *mind*- Damn it Kirito. But I can't blame him. She's really smart after all. There's a reason why she's second in command to the knights of the blood oath.
Asuna-.....Oh nevermind. It's rude to ask people to justify their skills.
Kirito/Hiro *mind*- Phew. That was a close one.
Asuna- Since it's gotten so late, why not have lunch here.
Kirito- D-Did you make it yourself?!
Asuna- Yep. But you better take your gloves off before you eat. You too Hiro.
We take off our gloves.
Kirito- Dude, you have to try out Asuna's cooking. She's the best. I had some last night and it was the bomb.
She hands kirito and I a sandwich.

Hiro- Not gonna lie, this looks good.
Author: It's anime. They always make the food look good.
Hiro: You Right.
I take a bite out of the sandwich and swallow.
Hiro- This is really good. The bread is toasted to perfection and the vegetables in this are fresh and crisp. The meat is delicious and it's drenched in something that tastes like soy sauce and I also tasted a hint of mayonnaise.
Asuna- Wow. You're really good.
We hear footsteps approaching and we get up to see who it was. It was Klein and his guild. He notices us.
Klein- Oh hey! Kirito! Hiro! What's up fellas!
Hiro- Sup Klein.
Kirito- Hey Klein. Still alive huh?
Klein- Geez. You're the same as ever. Wait a minute. You two are solo players. What the heck are you doing with a....girl?
Klein just goes stiff.
Hiro- Didn't you guys meet up at one of the raids?
Kirito- I'll introduce you. Asuna this is Klein of the Fuurinkazan guild. Klein, this is Asuna of the Knights of the Blood Oath.
Klein doesn't move.
Hiro- What's going on? You lagging or something?
Hiro: Klein.exe has stopped working.
Klein quickly bows and sticks out his hand.
Klein- H-Hi I'm K-Klein. I'm twenty four, single, and looking for a (kirito punches him in the gut) Oooooo!
Hiro- Saw that one coming.
Klein's guild members start fawning over Asuna like she's a celebrity.
We hear more footsteps coming this way.
Kirito- The Hell?
Klein- It's the big guild that runs floor 1. What are they doing up here?
Hiro- Haven't seen them in a long minute. Not since they got slaughtered back on floor 25.
The commanding officer steps up to us.
Commander- I'm with the Aincrad Liberation Army. Lieutenant Colonel Korvax at your service.
Hiro- Hiro. Solo.
Korvax- Sure you are. Have you cleared the area up ahead?
Kirito- Yeah. We also got a map with directions to the boss room.
Korvax- Right. Just hand over that map and we'll be on our way.
Klein- Wait! You want us to just give it to you?! Do you know how much of a pain in the ass mapping is?
Korvax- We share our supplies with civilian players all the time! And we don't charge a thing for it! We maintain order in the chaos of battle. So that all players can leave this game as quickly as possible.
Hiro- Will you just shut up man. Kirito, give him the map so that he can stop bitching.
Kirito- Yeah ok. I was gonna go public with the map anyway.
Korvax and his half dead men get up and walk past us out of our sight. We began walking in that direction with Klein's guild. Then we heard screams.
Hiro- Those idiots! Guys!
KA- Right!
We split from Klein and friends and make our way to the boss room. We see the liberation army getting massacred.
Kirito- What are you waiting for?! Use your teleport crystals!
Soldier- We can't! The crystals aren't working!
Hiro *mind*- Just like that day. Not again.
I subconsciously reach for my sword.
Klein comes by and see what's going on. The gleam eyes hits Korvax and he lands in front of us and dies. The gleam eyes turns its attention to a defenseless soldier. Kirito notices my hand getting closer to my sword.
Kirito- Hiro don't.
I don't listen to him and unsheathe my sword.
Hiro- I'm not just gonna sit back and watch someone get killed while I could've done something!
I rush in and begin my engagement of the Gleam Eyes.
