Sword Art Online Roleplay: Equalization

Daisuke whistled at the two's expertise in combat, his arms folded across his chest while watching the figh with earnest. This is getting good... Dan_sama does live up to his name as a boxer, but Delta makes it up with some great sweeps at the heels and has good defense. He hardly bat an eyelash at Dan_sama's crushing blow to Delta's ribs or Delta's counter attack. Instead, the halberd user felt a sinister smile tug at his lips. These kids are perfect to join our raid team.

Dan threw a few jabs at Yuki's eyes for separation, and then jumped back. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Daisuke's wide smile on his lips. "'Ay! Whadd'ya grinnin' 'bout o'er there?"

Delta flinched a bit as he dodged backward and noticed Daisukie wondering.

Yukikaze waited for Dan's next attack, as he twirled  his scythe soon becoming impatient he charged at Dan swung his scythe faster than the eye can follow, hitting Dan's knee.

Somewhere in the distance, not to far away from the square was a loud scream, that drew most of the audiences attention. A person was running down the street to the group until suddenly then dispersed to particles. No one was certain about where the scream was for, but knew that the player that was running toward them, was dead.

Dan also heard the scream, and decided that whoever killed that person must be stronger than Yuki, since he couldn't kill the boxer."Tch. I'll finish this later!" He yelled, as he sped off towards the origin of the scream.

Yuki followed the scream as he took a shortcut  free running his way. Until he ended up in an alleyway, a dark cloaked figure stood in front of him. The figure turned around as if it was like time had slowed itself down. The figure said something in a deep baritone voice, which was obviously a voice filter used. "Delta"

"'Ay, You!" Dan pushed Yuki out of the way and took a jumping punch at the cloaked figure, but his efforts went up in smoke. Literally. The man disappeared before his eyes. "Where'd he go?" He looked around for the man, but all traces had disappeared.

Lagging behind as usual, Daisuke had inspected the area where the person had dispersed into particles. The crowd had already scattered in panic and he was left alone in the square, even the contestants from earlier had left. Wonder what killed him in this safe zone... I thought the manual said monsters aren't supposed to be around here. A glitch?

Yuki pushed to the ground looked up to see the figure on the roof before it again disappeared, not before leaving behind a small picture of what seems like a large family. Yuk I was shaking soon calmed himself down and picked up the photo.

"What'cha got there?" Dan asked as he leaned in closer to inspect the photograph.

Yukikaze didn't reply as out of a streak of anger tore the picture to pieces, not before Dan had managed to catch a glimpse of the photo.

"Hm? That your family?" Dan was curious as to why the man he fought with was showing off some uncharacteristic anger.

" No" Yukikaze said to him "It's something else though I recommend you don't tell everyone. They'll start to think of this place no the less safe then the other levels.Okay?"

As Daisukie looked closer he noticed a arrow laying on the ground.

Dan saw the arrow too and picked it up. "This is some high end stuff! Carbon fiber shaft, synthetic spiral fletching, and a vicious broadhead tip to boot.

This whole event was so strange: first the appearance of the hooded man, Delta's outburst (wich was surprising but nevertheless entertaining), and now an arrow in the vicinity now? But as much as it was strange, it excited the young male to the core. He tried to restrain the grin tugging on his lips. "Looks to me that's its requirement level is 52 or higher... I'd say we've got a PKer around these parts, probably someone whose been surviving for awhile like us."

"Yep" Yukikaze nodded as he took a look at the arrow as well. Though soon enough a arrow zoomed by his head, scaring the side of his cheek. He turned around, there on the roof of the building was a brown cloaked figure, with a black bow, at where the figure was holding it looked like a blade of an axe attached to the bow and red blades protruding from it like wings.

The cloaked figure didn't say anything as their finger moved on the bow where you can see a small button on it as the blades, except the axe one retracted into the bow as, they took out a razor arrow and shot it at Echo.

Dan jabbed the arrow out of the air, leaving both himself and Echo unscathed, thanks to his "Iron Fist" ability. However, the arrow was obviously made out of high-level materials, as Dan's punch only bent it. "Man, that's tough. You gonna come down 'ere? Or are you gonna come down? Ahh, to 'ell with it!" Dan rushed forward without warning and jumped to where the cloaked enemy was. What occurred after was a high level exchange of attack, defense, and evasion between the two players.

As the battle went on the, cloaked figure was punched in the face, as they toppled to the ground griping their bow, pushing a button causing the blades to appear again. The figure stood up from the ground the hood slipped off revealing their face, a buzzing sound was heard then a click. "Geez....You broke my voice filter. You **********". The hooded figure said as she looked at them, her fiery red hair tied into a short ponytail, and her stunning emerald eyes fixed in a glare at them. She went in a defensive position as she eyed the three around her carefully.

Dan, who was standing next to Echo, had shouted one word in unison with the other man."WHAAAATTTTT!!!!!

Eagerness to fight against the unknown assailant was now replaced by pure shock. Fortunately for him, Daisuke recovered faster than Dan_Sama and let loose another haunting grin at the realization of her broken voice filter. "So I see that you like genderbending as a hobby, now that's unique." He stated coolly while leaning on the long shaft of his halberd. Although it seemed like Daisuke was relaxing, every fiber of his body was tense and ready to react to her next move. "I get the feeling that you've tried being male before all this sh*t went down the hole... Am I right? I'm right aren't I?"

She had a smirk planted on her face from the reaction she got out of Dan, she looked at Echo for his previous statement  "Awww...Look you trying so hard to understand me. Don't sound so surprised.You'll make me cry, you c*ckb*te" her tone was sarcastic.

Dan burned with a silent anger at the given circumstances: Being ignored, being cussed out a a girl, etc. etc. He dashed toward the girl and dodged the arrows she had fired, although he was nicked a few times. He feinted a jab but suddenly did a sweeping kick that knocked her off her feet. "Oh sh*t!" Capitalizing on the opportunity, Dan punched the airborne girl back to Earth, HARD. What awaited her next, was a merciless beatdown from a mount position, endlessly wailing on her face. She cursed with a passion at her given situation.
