Floor 75

Artemis had just finished killing a mini boss. As he saw what he had received, he was surprised, it was an amulet, but the amulet had an ability attached to it, it nullifies all status effects. He decided to keep it a secret though, due to the fact he understood what would happen after the 75 floor, he understood that he Asuna would still be trapped after SAO, so he wanted to prevent this battle from killing her and Kirito, he wanted to fight on the 100th floor.

Floor 75 Boss Room

The Skull Reaper was defeated, everyone was tired and panting, unlike Heathcliff, he was still standing, which to Kirito, seemed really suspicious. He remembered his duel with Heathcliff and that Heathcliff had blocked Kirito's strike way too quickly. Kirito also noticed that everyone's health was at least in the yellow, even Kirito's, but however, Heathcliff's health was in the green.

Kirito slowly picked up his Elucidator. Asuna, turning towards him, asked "What the hell are you doing." While Kirito gestured Asuna to be quiet. Kirito got up and charged Heathcliff, attempting to stab him through the neck, however, Kirito's sword stopped on it's tracks, seeing as Heathcliff was protecting himself with GM commands. He made himself an immortal object. Kirito realizes Heathcliff's true identity, Akihiko Kayaba.

"An immortal object huh? So you protected yourself with GM commands throughout this whole death game, Kayaba." Kirito said, as everyone gasped.

"Now, that is impressive. Would you mind telling me how you found out?" Heathcliff asked.

"That duel we had. I had just about got you, but as I had my sword coming right at you, you blocked my sword with that shield of yours at an impossibly fast speed." Kirito said.

"Of course, that was a big mistake on my part. Too bad you weren't the first one to find out." Heathcliff said.

"What!? What do you mean, who knew?" Kirito said.

"Artemis here did, however he didn't tell me how, because apparently I would never believe him if he told me, as if he, or I was too crazy to believe." Heathcliff said.

"Then, why aren't you on the 100th floor?" Kirito asked.

"Artemis gave me an option. I granted him some requests and I could keep playing as a player, or, I could have went straight to the 100th floor and waited about two years for you people to get there." Heathcliff said.

Everyone was shocked, Kirito asked "What do you mean requests?"

"Health Counselling Program, codename Yui. Artemis had requested me to protect her from the Cardinal system." Heathcliff said, Artemis, facepalming as he didn't want Heathcliff to tell them.

"Artemis, how do you know who Yui is?" Kirito asked.

"I can't explain it here." Artemis said.

Heathcliff then used the GM to paralyze everyone in the boss room, except for Kirito, and Artemis due to the amulet.

"Now, I will go to the ruby palace and wait for you all there. You all are strong and I'm sure you will make it. However, before I go… Kirito, I believe you deserve a reward for figuring out my identity, since Artemis pretty much got his already, it would only be fair if you got something too. If you beat me here, right now, I will automatically log everyone out of this world, as if you beat the game yourself." Heathcliff said.

Kirito thought for a minute. So many people have already died and many are yet to exit from the death game that is Sword Art Online. He wanted this to end, once and for all, even if it meant that he had to die himself.

"Kirito, don't do it." Asuna said.

"I have to, I have to end this." Kirito said.

"No Kirito, you could die." Artemis said. Kirito ignored as he walked toward Heathcliff, "Dammit Kirito!" Artemis yelled.

Kirito and Heathcliff stood, facing each other as Kirito said, "I have a request to make."

"Alright, what is it?" Heathcliff asked.

"If I die today, I want you to make it so that Asuna can't kill herself." Kirito said.

Heathcliff thought about it for a second, he then said "Fair enough," as he opened the GM and changed his status to being a Mortal Object.

"Dammit Kirito! No, that's not fair! You can't do that!" Asuna protested.

It took a few seconds, but it was soon that Kirito steadied himself and charged Heathcliff. His flurry of attacks was filled with fury and the anguish the game brought to him. Heathcliff blocked at the strikes.

Artemis had thought for a moment and saw the pain the game brought, and he decided to end it, rather than continue it as he had earlier believed it would be better to do. He watched as Asuna overcame her paralysis, and watched as Kirito was cut across the cheek. Kirito screamed and activated Starburst Stream, as he watched Kirito's sword break upon Heathcliff's shield, he got up as he watched Asuna run towards Kirito, but however, Artemis ran past her and shoved her away as her drew Hellfire, and blocked the incoming blow that was sure to be fatal.

Artemis nodded at Kirito, before standing in a ready stance. Heathcliff was startled for a moment before saying, "Ah, I don't think I ever programed a way to escape paralysis."

"There isn't but if you either have enough fortitude or you have an item to negate the effects like me, you can get out quicker,' Artemis said, smirking. He charged at Heathcliff, smashing his blades on his shield, but after using basic attacks for a while, he switched it up by doing something Kirito never did, he used single handed sword skills with each hand, allowing him to strike faster and do more damage. On one of the strikes soon after he started using the skills, he cut Heathcliff, himself being the one to knock him to yellow. Kirito snuck around behind the man and struck him in the back. He pulled his sword away for another strike but was forced to block as Heathcliff struck at him. While Heathcliff was busy with Kirito, Artemis started his Black Flame Flurry, but to his surprise, Heathcliff went to red and turned towards him, and stabbed him in the gut. Artemis watched helplessly as his health dropped to 0 and as he glowed he watched Kirito stab Kayaba, before Kirito was struck one last time. Heathcliff exploded into shards of polygons, which stuck to Asuna and Kirito and killed them both..

Artemis awoke, standing beside Kirito, he knew Leafa saw him die, but he also knew that they would awake alive, in hospital beds.

He watched as Kayaba appeared next to them, and ignored him.

"Oh come on, now?" Artemis complained in a joking tone.

Kirito realized that Artemis was with them and looked over and asked, "Well now is a good time to tell me how you know who Yui is."

"Well, I didn't want to tell you this, as I thought it would upset you. If you are asking me, then here it is. I was reincarnated into this world, from another which had an anime called Sword Art Online, and after I died in my previous life, God himself gave me an option. To be reincarnated to a world of my choice, or to go to heaven. I chose reincarnation because I wanted to go to a universe I always wanted to go to." Artemis explained.

"Oh I remember now." Kirito said.

"And don't be surprised that you're items and armour are saved to Cardinal and you can use them in whatever game you want, as long as it's a game using the Cardinal system." Artemis said. "I asked Kayaba to do that because I know for a fact that your story isn't over, and neither is mine, which is yet to be told."

"I knew you and Oblivion were talking about reincarnation while we were at the faked death scene with Kains." Kirito said.

"Why can't you believe me? I pretty much predicted the future, multiple times. I knew how there was no logout button from the start, I knew Kayaba's identity in the game from the beginning, I knew how you would eventually form a party with Asuna and fight the first boss, I knew how Kains and Yolko faked their deaths, I knew how you guys found Yui, I knew how you would eventually defeat Kayaba on the 75th floor. But if one thing is for sure, Asuna won't wake up from the Nervegear yet, until we save her from another game which she gets trapped in. Agil will send you a photo proving it. We never had this conversation. Deal?" Artemis said.

"What do you mean Asuna will get trapped in another game?" Kirito asked.

"That we have to find out on our own. I would like to keep the flow of time in shape." Artemis said, as he heard Asuna say Kirito's name behind them.

"A-Asuna?" Kirito said, faintly, as he ran up to her and held her.

"What were you guy's talking about?" Asuna asked.

"Our story isn't over yet. You are alive, however, you won't be coming back into the real world yet, as Artemis told me, someone is trying to trap other players into another game, and one of their main targets is you." Kirito said.

"You're kidding. What makes you think that?" Asuna asked. Artemis pretty much said the whole thing he previously said to Kirito.

"Oh my gosh. If that's true you better figure out where the hell I'm going." Asuna said.

"Don't worry, we'll get you out of there as soon as we can." Kirito said.

"So you came from a whole, completely different world to come and play my death game." Kayaba said, behind them.

"Well it's much more than just that. I always liked the idea of a full dive VRMMORPG, however, the world I lived in I felt couldn't accomplish that in 10 years." Artemis said.

"If there was an anime of our world, why wouldn't they pursue creating the nervegear?" Kayaba asked, "And how exactly were you killed off to join us in this world?"

"Firstly, I knew they would eventually, but I felt like we couldn't advance as that Earth was environmentally destroyed, and we couldn't sustain life there anymore as the years went by. There were so many problems, yet no one decided to make an effort to change them." Artemis said.

"Secondly, I was run over by a semi truck, and multiple cars soon after that. My friend Alex avenged me, as he stabbed him through the chest with a very expensive knife that would take a team of surgeons to seal the wound. My friends Owen and Matt had got me a coffin and buried me to the closest cemetery there." Artemis continued.

"How did you find out about this Alex person avenging you? Or Owen and Matt burying you at the cemetery?" Kayaba asked.

"See, I never really found out how, but they knew how I died in that world. It must be that beforehand, there must have been someone exactly like me, and died in much the same way. My friends from my previous life are almost identical, just some weird changes about how old they are, because in my original universe, Owen was 15. Here, he's 24 now, but he has the same birthday as before." Artemis said.

"If god gives me a chance, I will reincarnate to any universe I can and allow them to experience Aincrad the way you guys did." Kayaba said.

"Yeah, but try and keep it from being a death game. You've had you're fun with that idea. Just rebuild Aincrad and allow people to enjoy it the way a game can be enjoyed." Artemis said.

"Alright then. I'll refrain from the idea then. May I ask how you kept your memories through to this universe?" Kayaba asked.

"I asked God for some conditions, he accepted them, and here I am now, linking both of our worlds pretty much." Artemis said.

"Unfortunately, I have to leave you guy's here on this note. If there is anything you wish to ask me, Kirito and Asuna, ask me now." Kayaba said.

"Alright, why? Why would you do this?" Kirito asked.

"Hmmm, good question. The thing is, I don't exactly remember. I guess I kind of pursued the idea of dying in real life if you die in the game, making the stakes much higher. I wanted to live on the floating castle I was obsessed with ever since I was a boy." Kayaba said.

"Why did you take so many people with you? Knowing that if they died in here, they would never return?" Artemis asked.

"I don't remember exactly, I wanted something to raise the stakes for the player's in the game, that including me, that way it would tell a good story." Kayaba said. "I have to go now. I probably won't return, ever."

Kayaba disappeared as he walked away, never to be seen again. As he did, Asuna asked, "I never got you're real names, what are they?"

"I'm Kazuto Kirigaya, I'm 16." Kirito said.

"I'm Caleb Kumar, I turned 17 this year." Artemis said.

"I'm Asuna Yuuki, I'm 17." Asuna said.

"Well, we'll be back to get you Asuna, we just have to get ourselves ready. If I may ask, just wait patiently please, it will take a while." Artemis said.

"I'll be waiting for you two. Yui can go into other Cardinal games then?" Asuna asked.

"Yes, Yui is protected from Cardinal and she can save herself into Kazuto's nervegear and can go wherever she pleases within Cardinal." Artemis said.

Soon after, the three of them soon drifted into the wind, as their Nervegears turned off, except for Asuna's, which she was then taken to Alfheim.

Caleb shortly woke up in a hospital room, with barely any strength or muscle. He had electrodes on his chest and an IV bag hooked up to him. As he slowly struggled to get up, he heard someone come in the room, as Caleb got back onto the bed. He was a private investigator, he asked for everything he knew about SAO. Shortly after, Caleb's mother had walked in and had been there for the investigation.

For now, before Caleb could go into ALO, he needed to focus on getting some rehab done, and then wait for Kirito to get the picture of Asuna taken in ALO, which then the story can continue.
