Sword Art Online: Side Stories

"Alright!" Ittoki shouted, "Let's go!!"

OOC: if you haven't answered to go into the dungeon, just agree or disagree after this post... just wanting to move stuff along... (is this counted as godmodding? i'm sorry if it is! >__<)

 

Masaru heard the declaration of going to the Dungeon and with it, nodded. "Then, let us do that."he said, following Meerna tot he DUngeon Entrance, now was the time to be on your guard and stay alive, it would be a bad thing to die in the First Dungeon.

"Well, Ittoki, lead the way." he said encouragingly.

 

OOC: Godmodding is when you do actions beyond the limit of the RP like instantly killing everyone. You're just taking point :P

BIC: Not having the chance to still argue about her nickname, she sighed and followed him. "Fine then. Don't fall behind peeps. Would be a shame to lose someone already without even fighting a single monster so far..."

 

"Alright then." Kaito said, following everyone towards the dungeon.

 

Ittoki stepped into the darkness of the dungeon. He followed the tunnels. Left. Right. Right. Left. Left. As he walked he noticed it was quiet. Way to quiet. He gripped his knives, getting shivers. He had a bad feeling about this. He turned another corner and--

"WAGGH!" Ittoki yelled, jumping a few feet backwards.

Two centaurs appeared less than a meter from the party. They both held a bow, a quiver of steel arrows strapped to their back. The two of them glared at the party.

Ittoki gulped. W-What do we do? Okay... Calm down Ikki...long range because of arrows, but not much armour, especially their backs. "Guys, attack however you want. This is the time to show me how you fight!!"

OOC: Okay guys...I'll set the centaurs to die after EVERYONE posts how they fight. I kinda want to do strategy stuff in case we bump into the boss or something. Use your skills/combos and other styles of fighting, kay? Show me what you can do!

 

Masaru followed Ittoki's lead before the centaurs were arming themselves, an indication the system registered the party against the monsters, it was most likely they favoured long range attacks as Ittoki told them to attack however they saw fit to see how they attack.

"Not only that, if we get clos,e they'll have the advantage of using their lower halves to deliever a strong blow, but there's no point retreating now, if we want to clear this game, we have to get stronger to survive the Floors." He thought to hismelf and readied his Sword that he unsheathed, the system only could have one member attack a monster at a time but with the «Switch» function, someone else could get a additional attack while the monster would be stunned.

"Let's test it out." he concluded in his thoughts and charged foward, his Sword bathed in a light, executing a Vertical Skill upon one of the Centuars, slashing across it's upper body it was about time for the monster to strike, but at least he stunned it, if not, briefly. "Switch!" he called out, jumping back to wait and see who would the take Switch.

 

Masaru called "SWITCH!!"
Kuroi drew his katana, running at the centaur that was still recovering from the stun and did a star-shaped slash combo in the blink of an eye. He moved to jump back, ready to shout "SWITCH!", but the second centaur shot him in the side. "Tch!" He gritted his teeth. He watched his HP bar deplete about a quarter. He staggered backwards, clutching his side in pain. Well, actually it felt weird. It didn't feel like he got shot in real life, but he still felt something. "N-Next..." he clutched the handle of his sword.

 

As they hit the centuars, Mya carefully observed the battle, knowing how the battle system oporated. After Kuroi jumped in for the first Switch, she waited for the next Switch. Seeing Kuroi take a hit and calling out his Switch, she jumped in, unsheathing her sword and activating Piercing Strike, stabbing the weakened centuar and dealing a good chunk of damage while she quickly turned around and raised her sword to block the other centuar's kick.Ugh...these enemies are tough! Struggling to push back the centuar, she quickly hopped backwards, yelling "Switch!

 

"My turn!" Ittoki called. He jumped in front of the second centaur that they haven't attacked yet. "RAGGH!" Ittoki roared, slashing his two knives in an X-pattern. Then he jumped back and whipped the knife he held in his right hand at the centaur, but missed. "Crap!" He grabbed the hilt of the knife just as the centaur let go an arrow. The bolt buried itself into his arm. "AGGGH!" Ittoki jumped back. "S-Switch!" He pulled out the bolt, forcing more "blood" out his arm. He winced, watching his HP go into the yellow warning zone. Crap...That hurt... "Someone heal me!"

 

Masaru saw Ittoki take damage and cursed to himself silently. "Elise, Kaito, stay near Ittoki and give him a Healing Potion, then you three focus on one of the centuars, me, Kuroi and Mya will handle the other! Use the Switch to deal a addtional blow just as you're in a cooldown and stunned the enemy!" He said in a commanding tone and charegd at the Centuar he, Kuroi and Mya struck before.

"Let's go!" He cried out as he used the skill <<Vertical Arc>> creating a V-shape attack upon a Centuar, delaing 2 hits, but then called out before the arrow could be loaded. "Switch!" he called out, barely having enough time to make sure his ally had room to attack.

 

"Here, take this." Kaito said, handing Ittoki a healing potion. Turning to face the Minotaur and drew his sword. "Alright, come get some." He said before striking the beast with a <Slant> Skill, leaving a diagonal trail across it's chest. Stepping back,he soon called out to the next person. "Switch!"

[OOC: none]​

​

The others were all fighting diligently, and Elise knew that her turn would be next. If she could get close enough to the centaur, then she could possibly end the battle without using her skill. It was an energy draining skill that she was always hesitant to use. If used at the wrong time, she could become susceptible to the enemy's every attack.

Elise pulled out her cutlass from its sheath and bent her knees in readiness, waiting for Kaito's signal. She observed and analyzed his movement patterns in her head. "If he's going to continue the way he is, he'll step out that way...so if I just move over a bit..." She side-stepped to her left to get to a position where she could easily run in and get close to the monster.

"Switch!" Kaito yelled. Hearing her signal, Elise rushed in. He had moved in the direction she had wanted him to move in, and for that she was relieved, but now wasn't the time for celebrations. Elise slashed it as quickly and as many times as she could before become fatigued. Without even looking at the health bar, she could tell that it was not enough to kill it. They would need the power of at least one more person to destroy the monster.

She jumped backwards to try to regain her breath and yelled, "S-Switch!"

 

​

​

From the moment she entered the dungeon with the others Meerna added her armour on top of her casual clothes and summoned her spear to her. And the start of it was pretty relaxed, but then the team entered their first fight.​

​

However instead of jumping right in to help them she had hanged back, seeing if this group had what it took to make it far into the cave. If they didn't she would insist on them trying elsewhere. But as luck would have it they fared well. Figures.​

​

Sighing she realized she was the only one who hadn't gone yet and thus was forced to now, moving in on the kill once the signal was given. She jumped high enough for the centaur's hits to miss before falling and landing on the thing's back. Once there she spun around and charged a skill, thrusting the spear into the beast's head, finishing it off. However, since it vanished she ended up falling to the ground, only just landing on her feet.​

 

On Masaru's signal, Mya jumped in. She charged at the monster, but not without taking an arrow to her side, making her flinch, but still managing to slash at the centuar's legs, crippling it onto its side. She stepped back, yelling out, "Switch!" as she clutched her side, waiting for someone to finish off the vulnerable creature.

 

Masaru heard Mya's declaration for a Switch and he leap in from beside her. "Got it!" He said andran for teh Centuar, it firing an arrow at him but he immediately shifted hsi weight to side-step, barely managing to avoid the projectile and his sword in a reverse grip, swiped at the Centuar across it's side and quickly twisted his body before the monster had a chance, his sword bathed in a ligh,t executing a <<Vertical>> upon the beast, the monster falling and shattering into pixels of glass as he took a few deep breaths.

"You okay?" he asked Mya and Elise after regainign his steady pace of breathing, the adrenline calming down.

 

"Ohhhh!! THAT WAS AWESOME!!!" Ittoki fist pumped. "The adrenaline running through my veins..." Ittoki turned to the group. "Okay! Shall we move on?"

 

OOC: Can you slow down please? You need to give us time to respond.

 

OOC: OK changed desu~

 

Mya broke off the arrow from her side and watching it pixelize and disappear before responding."I should be fine. Only lost like 1/10 of my health. And will you calm down Ittoki? Some of us are injured?"

 

"G-Gomen... i'm so hyped right now because of the adrenaline..." Ittoki apologized. He took a few deep breaths to calm down, waiting for his pulse to return to a more or less normal rate. "Okay then. We'll keep going once everyone heals themselves and takes a break." He bit open the bottle of potion that Masaru gave him earlier in the fight. He gulped down the sweet syrup. "Puha~~ thanks, Kaito!"[DOUBLEPOST=1353966095][/DOUBLEPOST]Kuroi watched as the rest of his party members finished off the centaurs. The reddish polygons on his arm faded away. He silently pulled out a bottle of potion and quickly swallowed it. Then he glanced at Elise. Kuroi pulled out another bottle of potion and held it out to Elise. "Here."
