The Demon's Princess: Return to Seria and more recruits.

HONEY. I'M HOME. AGAIN.

DAY 49.

THURSDAY.

GOLD: 326,104.

BLOODOATH GOLD: 5,988,653.

Tyler woke the next morning with Seria's slender frame firmly pressed into his body and he kissed her awake. The blue haired princess smiled happily as she woke.

"I love you too, my Husband."

"I love you too, my wife. We'll reach the city by noon."

She giggled happily.

"I feel bad for the horses!"

He chuckled.

"Oh they're fine. They actually loved the workout and Shadow looked especially smug when he was the only one NOT breathing hard."

She smiled and the Berserker kissed her lovingly before the princess hugged him.

"I'll see you at home, my love."

He smiled and she faded out. Then he got dressed and headed out to see Asuna at the Table. He found the redheaded wife and she smiled as he approached.

"We made excellent time, Tyler. We'll reach Berun in a few hours ride."

Victoria smiled warmly as the Berserker lit up like a light.

"You're no longer rookies or my Maggots. You be full fledged warriors now, Tyler. Make the Princess MORE proud."

"We will, Victoria. we got a spot if you want it?"

The purple haired knight captain smiled.

"I appreciate the offer, Tyler. But my place is with my Knights. Besides. You'll soon grow stronger then I could ever hope to keep up with."

He nodded with a smile.

"Knights of the Bloodoath. Break camp."

The force smiled at this and they did so with a spring in their step. Then they mounted up and Tyler looked at the road that would take him to his beloved Princess. He smiled.

"Knights of the Bloodoath, Let;s got home!"

They broke into a heavy gallop at that and Tyler had a wild smile as they tore out of the Wilder forest and saw the walls of Berun in the distance with the palace rising above them. Tyler had to force himself not to ride Shadow into the ground as his excitement grew and Asuna smiled.

"Easy hero. She's not going anywhere."

Tyler chuckled at that time old caution as the ground echoed from the thunder of their hooves. A few hours later they were approaching the gates of Berun. Tyler smiled as they approached the massive portcullis gates....

"The HEROES HAVE RETURNED!"

A massive fanfare of trumpets exploded into being while a waterfall fo cheers from the citizens rang out as the portcullis rose. Tyler smiled as he walked Shadow into the capital where masses of roses, petals, other flowers and the like were tossed at the returning heroes from the thousands of citizens. Tyler waved at the masses of people while the Knights put on a parade show. Victoria smiled as she came up beside the Berserker.

"Once we return to the Palace, I will take my leave."

Tyler smiled as he clasped arms with his friend and semi-mentor.

"Was fun Victoria. Work dem idiots into the dirt."

"Ha. WILL DO!"

Tyler looked ahead as they approached the sandstone palace and shivered from the excitement of the moment. the horses were stabled and the wagons locked before the warriors walked up the palace steps and he threw the doors open. The court was INSTANTLY on edge as Tyler's black coat and unmistakable greatsword was seen as he strode down the hall with eyes only for Seria on her throne. The princess resplendant in a dress of bright blue and she smiled as he approached her throne. Then she couldn't restrain herself any longer and THREW herself into a forceful embrace as Tyler held his beloved princess.

"My wife, I'm home."

Seria smiled with such joy it made a fair few in the audience smile.

"I missed you."

"I love you, Seria."

"I love you too, Tyler."

He kissed her and she rested her head on his chest as he held her before wrapping her up in his coat.

"Better!"

He chuckled at her never ending sweetness....

"If you two lovebirds are QUITE finished."

They looked over curiously to see Mylissia smirking at them in exasperation. Tyler chuckled as he held Seria tighter.

"We'll have plenty of time to catch up Seria."

"Oh hell yeah! we only SLEEP together!"

He chuckled at that truth as a fair few sighed at her eagerness. Then Tyler looked at Mylissia. The queen smiled as all eyes turned to her.

"The Heroes have returned and have completed their training. They still have much to learn, much to do, and much strength to aquire. But. we have hope my people. These KNIGHTS are MORE then up to the task of defending us. These Heroes are young. And some are still green in terms of life. Yet I have the utmost faith in their ability to fend off the Fangorn threat. Now. They need a proper leader. A leader that can inspire them to take on the most suicidal of schemes and STILL prevail. A leader that will lead the tip of their charge and do so with absolutle certainty and conviction in their cause."

Tyler was holding Seria as Mylissia looked to him.

"Tyler the Berserker. Step forward."

He passed Seria into Asia's arms and the court awww'd at the cuteness of the blonde snuggling with the princess. Tyler stepped up before the queen and she smiled.

"As bizarre as this will be for you, I must ask you to take a knee."

He chuckled as he knelt before the queen over his greatsword.

"I GUESS I can make an exception for my MOTHER IN LAW."

"I will BACKHAND you into next WEEK you arrogant prick."

The court laughed at that one as Seria giggled as she hugged Asia.

"She;s so CUTE!"

Another round of chuckles before all eyes turned to the ceremony before them. Mylissia lifted a black cape off a rack.

"We need a Hero Leader to guide the rest of the heroes to battle and beyond. I believe with every fiber of my being, YOU are that hero. I name you, Tyler the Berserker, General of the Heroes' Army. Or, the Knights of the Bloodoath as you call yourselves. This is your mantle of office. You have yet to pick a banner, and so it remains blank. Seek me out when you have decided on an emblem and it will be added to your shields so the world will know who they are facing."

Tyler smiled as he buttoned the black cape and rose to full height.

"I already have the perfect emblem."

Asuna smirked.

"Tyler."

"A black dragon flying across a field of bodies with a black wolf running across the same field with a fresh line of enemies facing them."

Asuna blinked at the image and so did the rest of the Knights. Mylissia smiled.

"Explain."

Tyler smirked.

"When WE come for you, it will either as a mighty and unstoppable dragon or RAW DESTRUCTION, or as the wily and unpredicatable wolf. we CAN beat you. We CAN overpower you. We WILL outsmart you. When the Knights of the Bloodoath ride to battle, we WILL win. We WILL fly over your corpse. And your deaths will feed the black wolves that we are."

The Knights smiled at the dark imagry and feelings in the room as Mina looked at Belfast.

"I like it."

"As do I."

Mylissia chuckled.

"Approved. The banner border?"

"Sapphire blue."

Many a smile broke out at that tribute and the queen chuckled again.

"I know the royal colors are Sapphire blue, but we all know you picked it for Seria."

"Yeah, pretty much."

Mylissia sighed with a smile.

"The banners will be produced and ready for mounting by the end of the week. Now. There is one more matter to be dicussed, General Tyler the Berserker, that is the next summoning of heroes to reinforce your warriors."

Outside the leaders of the Bloodoath, EVERYONE was stunned by this news. Tyler smiled as he looked at the queen.

"What do we need to know?"

"The Reinforcement summoning will take place tomorrow at noon. So be prepared to to answer a LOT of questions."

"Sure. I like bragging. And the puzzle?"

She smirked knowingly.

"everything is on schedule and going according to plan."

"Good. I'll be keepin at it."

"I am jealous. Now. The day is yours. Try NOT to forget to attend the summoning...TYLER?"

He chuckled as he took Seria back into his arms.

"No promises."

They chuckled at that and the Berserker looked at his friends.

"Alright. Clean up and pretend not to be roadtrash. Knights....DISMISS."

They laughed and Tyler went with Seria up to their chamber. Once inside, the princess squealed as she pounced on him.

"You're HOME!"

He spun her around in his hug with a wide smile on his face.

"I missed you, Seria. I love you."

She smiled as he pulled her close.

"I missed you too. The spell just isn't the same."

"No it is not."

She kissed him and he smiled as they took a deep bath together. She smiled as she saw her destined spear again.

"I want that."

"I want you."

She kissed him and they snuggled in the water.

"In time."

"I love you, seria."

"I love you too."

He deep cleaned the last month and a half off his body and trimmed his hair and face before he and Seria snuggled in their bed together. Though he noted there were new styles of panties strewn about the place.

"Soo, where'd you learn thongs existed?"

She giggled.

"Akeno!"

"Why'd I even bother?"

He kissed her and the pair settled on the bed for a cuddle.

The pair were wakened by the sea wraith Jerial as she walked in with their dinner. The black haired maid smiled warmly as she saw the pair snuggled up in bed together.

"I missed seeing them like that."

Tyler chuckled as he sat up.

"It's nice to see you again, Jerial."

She had a warm smile as he hugged her and the princess smirked as he did so naked.

"Tyler? She CAN feel that."

Jerial blushed hard at that one as the spear poked her.

"Oh dear."

Seria sighed as she flopped on her back...also naked and the maid just shook her head with a smile.

"You two are adorable."

Tyler chuckled as he and Seria had dinner together...still naked.

"I missed this."

"Me too. And careful with that thing. Some ladies LONG for such spears! You're MINE!"

He kissed her lovingly and she giggled.

"And Rias' too."

He laughed at that quick squeak.

"And her little curiosity?"

Seria smirked at this and licked her lips seductively.

"Perhaps I want to LICK her like a CANDYBAR?"

"Jesus lady. You do that again I MIGHT just attack you."

"MAyeb I WANT you to attack me?"

"Oh I'd be HAPPY to ruin YOUR walking my wife!"

Seria shivered at the imagery and blushed as she looked at the hose aimed at her longingly.

"OHHH I want to....but the mistress checks every day to make sure I'm pure!"

"I have a healing spell."

"Clever. But she'd know."

"Fool around?"

"ABSOLUTELY."

He kissed her lovingly and the princess smiled longingly as they went to the bed.

"oooh I want to DO stuff!"

He kissed her deeply and the princess smiled nervously now as he looked at her.

"Um."

"I listen."

"Phew."

She gripped the hose inquisitively and he shivered at the feeling.

"Oh damn."

She smiled and kissed him. Then he felt her massive breasts up with a loving tenderness. Seria moaned quietly at the feeling as her hand worked the spear over for a long overdo polish. Tyler moaned into her mouth as her soft hand sent him over the edge and a royal mess was made. She blushed HARD at the amount before he smirked.

"Now allow me to show you something from MY world."

"Mercy!"

"You'll like it I swear."

"Um okay!"

She smiled excitedly as her long legs were spread and the hungry warrior kissed her dripping slit. Seria squeaked at the sudden feeling.

"Wow."

"Ha."

He fed on her delicious folds and the poor princess had to bite a pillow to prevent herself from screaming in pure pleasure as she orgasmed in mere minutes. Then he laid beside the panting princess with a smile.

"You're deilcious."

She smiled weakly.

"Oh my GODS. The mistress NEVER taught me THAT!"

"I got some tricks a mine own."

"Yay! I'll show HER something new!"

"HA. Sexy.""

He kissed her lovingly and she squeaked at her own taste.

"Wow. I DO taste good! we should clean up."

"Yes Seria."

She smiled as they cleaned up in the pool before snuggling in the immense bed. The princess got as close as she could to the warrior and he held her tightly as Metalica appeared with a flushed face.

"Okay. Next time? I'll just go dormant. YOU TWO ARE SEX ADDICTS! I love it!"

They laughed at the spent Sprite's tiredness and settled for the night.

"Good night, Seria. I love you."

"Good night, Tyler. I love you too."

WE GOT ROOKIES.

DAY 50.

FRIDAY.

GOLD: 326,104.

BLOODOATH GOLD: 5,988,653.

Tyler woke the next mornign with Seria asleep on his chest and Metalica asleep on her back in her fairyform. He smiled as he saw his beloved wife in his arms. He kissed her awake and held her close.

"I love you, Seria."

She smiled happily.

"I love you too, Tyler."

Metalica woke with a yawn.

"Morning you two."

"Morning Metalica."

"Morning Metalica."

The Berserker smiled as he kissed his wife again before they went to the bath. He deep claned himself again with Seria getting his back before she got a full massage and her hair done. Metalica lifted an eyebrow at that last one.

"Tyler."

"Sorry Metalica. Ya gotta be my wife for that kinda spoil."

".....Dammit."

Seria smiled as her water blue tresses shimmered int he early morning daylight.

"I love him too!"

The Iron Sprite sighed with a smile at that as the warrior geared up. Then he headed to the dining hall where he met up with Asuna, Mina, Rias, Akeno, and Strand for their meeting. Asuna nodded as he joined them at the table.

"So we lost Victoria and a captain. We need a replacement."

Tyler nodded.

"And a set method for divvying up the new recruits. All will be level one so we need an even spread to make sure the elites can get to them."

Rias slid him a paper.

"These are our current elites."

He looked.

"Kirito, Bell, Asia, Yoshkia, Gasper, Erza, Barkhorn, Sakamoto, Koneko, Belfast, Unicorn, Sora, Shiro, Kyba, Dryft, Enterprise, Raswesia, Sanya, Illustrious, and Steph. We got 20 elites, 4 captains, 1 second in command, 1 leader. Out of a 126 man force. That math adds up PERFECTLY. As is, we'd have two warriors left over from dividing the warriors between the remaining captains and they'd only gain an additional four. With up to five elites to aid in the squad as well? We're really well rounded at the moment. and elites are the ones level 8 and up. Not bad."

He looked at Asuna.

"we'll see how many recruits we get and what they can do with a week's grind."

She nodded.

"Agreed. The ceremony doesn't start until we're ready so we can take our time."

"Fashionably late."

"Ha. And we're ready."

The Berserker nodded as he reared.

"Let's go make a scene."

The Knights of the Bloodoath headed to the arena along their jogging route and Tyler chuckled as people got out of their way even sooner then before. The colisuem hadn't changed in the month and a half they'd been gone and Tyler smiled at the familar feel of the sand under his boots.

"We'll do some arena grinding too. I want 5 more levels on EVERYONE by the end of the week."

They nodded and Kirito cracked his neck.

"I WILL catch you."

"Hurry up then. Seriously. It's lonely here at the top."

"Arrogant PRICK."

They chuckled as the Knights took places of honor around the queen and Princess' box. Tyler sitting beside Seria as they watched the summon and the blue haired princess smiled sweetly as he took her hand.

"I love you too."

A group of priestesses led by the pope Diaxor. As Tyler saw the man again he had a thought and leaned in Mylissia's ear beside him.

"Soooo Diaxor's last name is DRAKEN."

The queen chuckled.

"A family name. And TRUST ME I thought the same when he introduced himself. Nope. He has turned in no fewer then 300 Draken that thought the same."

"And you're still watching him right?"

"Oh absolutely."

Seria giggled as he sat back up.

"Still a PARANOID Berserker!"

"Still a sweethearted princess of blueberries."

"I hate you!"

"Well i LOVE you!"

She sighed in defeat at the turnaround and her mother patted her sympathetically.

"Sweetie, he is an idiot."

"Owwie. My head."

Tyler rubbed her temples and she smiled with relief.

"All better!"

"You are the REAL queen of cute."

A far off,

"HEEEEYYY!"

Was heard in Asia's whine and they laughed at their favorite cute blonde. Tyler watched as the priestesses with the pope began the chanting and drew the circles that kidnapped people from across the realities.

"Be kinda cool to see how it works on this side. MY end I stepped outside my apartment."

Seria looked at him curiously.

"was it nice?"

"The entire apartment of four rooms could fit inside your chamber."

"Oh my HELL."

"Rent was close to 1,250 gold a MONTH and I mad 76 and hour for 8 hours a day."

"OH MY HELL."

"....for THREE jobs."

"Owwie!"

He hugged her and she smiled.

"All better!"

"You've been around Asia too much."

"NO I have NOT! I LOVE that girl!"

"Wow. So my main compeition is Asia."

"eep!"

"MEEEEEEEANN!"

The crowd laughed at the exchange and asia's cute whine as a series of glowing doors rose from the sand. Tyler nodded as he saw them.

"Sack up Knights. we got newbies."

The Knights of the Bloodoath focused as 200+ odd doors rose from the ground and people started walking through them. Once a person walked out of the door, it slammed shut and vanished. The odd part? Some doors had multiple people comng through it before vanishing. Tyler frowned as close to twenty people came through one door before it shattered.

"Okay. I was told 157 or so."

Mylissia looked at him in shock.

"By WHO were you told?"

"You know Bell right? Kid with the white hair and red eyes?"

"I do?"

"He's the cherished vassal of Hestia. princess of the gods in his world. And he shares blood with her as a descendant. She keeps in contact now an then."

"Ah. HAs she provided any useful guidence to you, Tyler?"

"Hmm, on one matter she kinda had reach out through Asia to get to me, but yeah."

"I see. She is a goddes no?"

He looked at the group of new heroes and smiled as he spotted a girl with twin tailed hair.

"See that busty cutie with tain tails in that white gown?"

Mylissia nodded.

"I do."

"THAT'S Hestia."

"OH MY GODS. A FULL goddess came through?"

"Pretty much. Rias is the princess of hell. So it's not that much of a stretch."

"fair enough."

"I'd trust her with SERIA'S life, Mylissia."

"Oh my. I will keep her name VERY high on my list then, Tyler."

Seria was also shocked as she looked at him.

"She is THAT type of goddess Tyler?"

"Hestia. the Goddess of hearth and home."

The princess smiled warmly as she looked at the twin tailed girl now.

"I can't WAIT to meet her."

"YOU are going to LOVE her. She's like Asia....buuuut with all the energy of a crack addict."

They chuckled at that one as the doors stopped appearing and Tyler nodded as he got a head count.

"We're lookign at 350 warriors here. That plus my crew....wow. 476 warriors. Asuna."

"Already on it. I see a few friends a mine in there too."

Tyler rose to his feet now and the ENTIRE arena went silent as the Berserker stood on the edge of the box looking at the now on edge New Heroes. His voice was magically augmented so the entire city heard him.

"Alright Rookies. welcome to Macedona. I'm Tyler the Berserker. Leader of the Knights of the Bloodoath. The OTHER Heroes' force. Bottom line. YOU'RE HERE as OUR reinforcements. Why? Humanity's backed into a corner from Drakens. Dark Elves. It's OUR job to push them bastards back into their own country. Maybe further. No clue yet. You've been added to my army and we'll go over roles and such later. for now, pay attention to what Diaxor tells you on the Proficency and leveling. Oh. YES he is a pope. NO he is NOT a mad pope or an enemy or a deep plant. Trust me. He'd be dead by now if he was."

There was a few chuckles from his force at that one and Asuna smirked.

"Coming from teh guy that was nearly SHIVED by a TODDLER that he RESCUED."

"Asuna. YOU nearly pissed yourself from a POKE at the wrong time. You really wanna go there?"

"You know you talkin an aweful lotta shit for a guy with a 1,000 foot drop in front of him.....and a VERY tempermental redhead behind you."

He smirked.

"Rias wouldn't DARE kick me off this."

The redheaded devil smirked at THAT audacious claim.

"And WHY do you think that?"

"Cause you're wearing a SKIRT?"

She snorted at that VERY solid reason and Asuna cracked her knuckles.

"I am NOT."

"Oh. explains a lot."

She and Kirito looked at each other as a jab was sensed but they weren't exactly sure WHAT the jab was. Seria looked at him in visible confusion.

"What DOES that explain Tyler? i'm confused."

"Asuna wears the pants."

"Ah. Teehee! She does!"

The wedded couple just slumped at the defeat and kirito sighed.

"I am going to HURT that guy on reflex one a these days."

"Featherpunch."

Kirito had a NEW look of rage and Mylissia sighed.

"Ugh. ENOUGH BOYS."

"Yes Mother in law."

"Yes Mylissia."

"HEY! not COOL!"

The arena busted up laughing at the tagteam retort and Tyler chuckled as he looked back to the new heroes as they got their Proficencies.

"Looks like we got movement. Diaxor, anything of note in teh Proficencies?"

The pope bowed.

"A LARGE selection of very rare Proficencies, Sire. even a GODDESS Proficency and a few HERO as well."

He nodded.

"Alright. Any questions we move on?"

He got a few murmers from the new force before a tall well built man with blonde hair stepped forward. His voice a well oiled baritone as he spoke to the Berserker.

"I am Commander Erwin of the Scout Corp. YOU are in command of our army?"

TYler nodded.

"I am."

"I see. On what merit do you lead us?"

"A few reasons. One. I am a level 12. Teh HIGHEST level in the ENTIRE army. Kirito and Bell, are the two second highest. Second. My war strategies up to this point have been resulted in the deaths of several draken, the capture of an entire branch of their spies and saboteurs, the destruction of a taken city, the destruction of over 15,000 bandits. If you think if you can do a better job of leading my warriors, by all means, PROVE IT. Prove to me you're the better leader and I will GLADLY step aside. BUT. NOT for the time being."

Erwin nodded.

"I ask proof of these feats, Tyler the Berserker."

"Sure.....we DO have those crystals right?"

Mylissia chuckled as he looked at her.

"Absolutely. Ladies."

The maids were then dispatched and Tyler faced the heroes as they did so.

"A WARNING newbies. RESPECT THEM. Or you WILL be dragged to hell. ARE WE CLEAR?"

His eyes were ice cold and started to turn red from his still POTENT rage and a near instant mass of promises and nods was heard.

"Good. All i need, is a NOD and you will suffer a hell the likes of which you have NEVER known. Moving on."

He blinked and he was cheery again. Seria chuckled.

"Your moodswings are intense, love."

"Ha."

The recordings of the various strategy meetings, campaigns, and battles the Knights of the Bloodoath had been apart of were played for the entire city to view and Tyler sighed as the forest giant fell.

"We lost 15 knights at that fight. That thing was a BITCH to kill."

Then there was the destruction of Dunkrick and a few blinked as they saw the avalanche and Tyler shrugged.

"THAT one was surprisngly straightforward. And a little TOO easy to pull off. But hey. We did it."

Then a mass of gasps were seen when he took the arrow and Seria smiled.

"I knew that would be used."

"Ha. When i gamble, it's with a loaded deck. And if we get to THAT point, you already lost."

Erwin had a smile on his face as he saw the various feats.

"every battle you are leading the charge and rallying the fighter behind you. Every meeting EVERYONE is an equal. And NO PLAN is TOO outlandish to be considered. Very well. Who are your officers?"

Tyler nodded and the captains rose.

"Asuna."

A few gasps were heard as the redhead stepped up.

"This is Asuna. Second in command of the Knights of the Bloodoath. She gets her orders from me and the captains gets theirs from her. Do NOT make her mad. Her temper is kinda scary."

Asuna chuckled as she rested a hand on her rapier.

"Idiot. Alright rookies. We'll get you grinding soon enough. You will reach level 7 in a week. if NOT there will be hell to pay."

The four captains stepped forward now and Tyler nodded to them.

"This is Mina Lindebran. Commander of the 501st joint fighter wing and a captain in my army. She s fierce, kind, and DOES NOT put up with jack shit. She command 30 warriors."

Mina nodded.

"Welcome to the fight."

Akeno stepped up now and a few more gasps were heard by those that knew her.

"This is Akeno Himejima. The THUNDER GODDESS and is half devil, half fallen angel. I have seen her thunder spells ROAST 50 men in one hit. she is one of my most trusted warriors for a REASON. Annnd try not ot fall in love. it hurts."

she smiled as her wid wings came out and a few gulped.

"we will make good use of YOUR abilities!"

"She's also a MAJOR tease. Sooooo. yeah."

Strand stepped up now and tyler smiled.

"This is Strand. Ranger Master. She is an elven ranger of the forests and our guide out there. Don't make her mad."

The brown haired elf smiled as she looked at rhe 350 new recruits.

"We have numbers this time. Interesting."

Tyler chuckled.

"She is also one of the ones that taught ME on this world. LISTEN TO HER."

Last up was Rias and Tyler chuckled at the silent awe in the eyes of the new heroes.

"This is Rias Gremory. The last captain. The Empress of Ruin. She's the Demon princess and is MY best friend in this world. Aside from Seria. But we'll get to her. Rias is a DARK FLAME mage. Her power is terrifying and those eyes miss nothing."

Belfast stepped over now and Tyler noted a few expressions of relief on some faces at her appearance.

"This is Belfast. Bloodoath Quartermaster. Need something talk to her. She may seem like the beautifully serene and proper lady, but DO NOT BE FOOLED. That lady is a tsunami in a gorgeous frame. She can and WILL make you pay for it."

The silver haired Belfast smiled prettily as she curtised before the nervous recruits.

"I look forward to serving alongside you."

Erza and Barkhorn stepped up now and more then a few gasps of relief and shock went up as Tyler nodded to the intimidating ladies.

"Now. Company enforcers. THEY make sure MY rules are followed. If you break them, you'll answer to them or ME. and you BETTER hope it's me. First up. Erza Scarlett. Warrior badass. And walking tank. Pretty as can be....and the one intimidates me the most. Beside her is Gertrude Barkhorn of the 501st joint fighter wing. She don't take no shit. Make Barkhorn mad, and they'll NEVER find all a you. I have seen people SPATTER in to PAINT when SHE hits them with that hammer a hers. Erza? She's a walking fortress. And is one of the toughtest ladies in the entire army."

The officers nodded and Tyler smirked.

"You'll get to know the elites, or high levels, in my army soon enough. But now it's time we introduce the two blue beauties behind me."

Mylissia rose to her imperious height to stand by the Berserker.

"I am High Queen Mylissia of Macedona. The queen of the country YOU now stand in. I hank you for your efforts to come."

Seria stood now and a rush of awed gasp, longing sighs, and awww's were heard as the princess took her spot by her mother.

"I am Princess Seria of Macedona. sorry! I saw that!"

Tyler smiled as he took her under his arm.

"Seria is my fiance and wife-to-be."

His eyes turned ice cold as he glared at the force.

"DO NOT MAKE HER SAD. OR DIE. Are we clear?"

Seria smiled as she snuggled under his arm and the heroes smiled at the warning. Mylissia chuckled.

"Blunt as a hammer. Tyler, mingle with them. Their training begins in the morning."

"with Victoria or me?"

"YOU. Victoria has other matters to attend."

"Makin sure. Knights of the Bloodoath, go brag."

They laughed and vaulted the box to drop to the sand below. Tyler used his grapple gauntlets to swing down and he pulled a flip to land like iron man in the sand before the two factions. Then he approached the blonde Erwin as friends and allies reunited. Erwin was a tall man, easily rivaling Tyler in height while his frame was well built from a life as a soldier. He had short cut blonde hair and blue eyes while his attire was tan and white pants with a harness for some canisters and swords on his hips. Around his shoulders was a green cloak and the man smiled as Tyler walked up.

"A fine introduction and MANY layered warning."

"Yeah i don't give the same warnign twice. So how many scouts came?"

The man blinked.

"You know me."

"Yeah your story is famous in my world....and one of the darkest I've ever come across."

"Damn. That's not reassuring."

"True. but hey. This should be a cakewalk for your crew."

Erwin chuckled now before he became serious.

"How will you seperate the warriors between captains?"

Tyler frowned as he looked over to Asuna as she created a few people.

"Asuna."

"Coming."

The redhead came over and Erwin nodded.

"Ma'am."

"Ha. Good. What's up?"

"We need to decide on whether to divvy now or wait till we get some training in their new tricks into them."

The redhead tilted her head.

"Train em a bit. we didn't set ranks until like what? Two weeks in? We also need more captains and enforcers for the Bloodoath now."

"Alright. Erwin, for the time being we'll put a pin in that. we need to see how you all measure up."

The blonde man nodded understndingly.

"I completely understand. it will be very odd being rank and file again. duties start when Sir?"

"In the mornign at sun up. You'll be given your first lesson then. And the route you're gonna take."

"HA. Very well. I understand you are looking for officers?"

"We are. But if you're aiming for THAT, you have to impress ME. AND THE OTHER CAPTAINS. If we don't like you as a FULL UNIT, you're not getting the promotion."

Erwin nodded with a minor relief.

"You value your warriors' lives."

"Absolutely. Their lives are more important to me then victory."

That made him frown.

"Victory is the entire reason we go to war. And if humanity is backed into a corner to that degree we can't afford to be so virtous."

"I see your point. Here's mine. If we forget the entire reason we went to war in the first place, WHY did we even bother?"

Erwin smiled wryly at that.

"A very wise point. And one I find I agree with. You do gamble."

"with MY life. NEVER theirs."

"Interesting. A leader that puts the FORCE over the WAR. This is going to be interesting."

"Tyler, dear."

Belfast's voice came from further down and the Berserker chuckled.

"See ya round Erwin."

The man nodded as the Berserker headed to see what the silver haired beauty wanted. Asuna smiled as she looked at Erwin.

"A step in the right direction."

"I do not follow, ma'am."

"I can tell already. Tyler respects you. I wonder why that is?"

Tyler walked over to where Belfast was standing with a group of other ladies and she smiled warmly as she introduced one.

"Tyler. This is MY ruler, Her majesty Queen Elizabeth."

Beside her was a shorter girl with long blonde hair and bright blue eyes set into a tear drop shaped face. She was half his height with a slender frame and large bust under a red and gold unitard. She had a serious expression on her face as she spoke in a soft yet firm soprano.

"So you're the one that Belfast has been praising so highly. Yet I see that darkness in your eyes, Tyler the Berserker. I do not know if I can trust it."

The warrior chuckled.

"That's fine. I got no problem provin it to you, Elizabeth."

She lifted an eyebrow.

"You do not respect royalty or station?"

"Lady I call MYLISSIA by first name. NO ONE gets any special treatement aside from Seria. You are all the same. Is that going to be a problem?"

Belfast chuckled at that one as Elizabeth looked at her.

"You find such a stance humorous?"

"He did the exact same thing to our knight captain trainer, Elizabeth. Nearly two months prior. He hasn't changed at all."

"Ha. I know I've lost weight...and gained a few pounds in a few good places."

That made the lady smile knowingly.

"Oh I am QUITE aware."

He chuckled before looking to elizabeth.

"So what's your point Liz?"

"I am TRYING to decide if you are WORTH following."

"Oh. well. Give it a few days. You need practice anyway so whaddya got to lose?"

She nodded.

"A VERY just offer. And one I will take. If we refuse to join your force?"

"Well. We'll go from there. I and my Knights know this world. YOU don't. Consider the scale."

He walked away and Belfast looked at her queen.

"Did I tell a lie, Liz?"

The queen of the Royal NAvy smiled as she watched the Berserker walk through the masses of people.

"NO you did NOT, Belfast. If anything? You UNDERSOLD him.

Tyler walked over to where Bell was talking with a group of people. The white haired kid had a few girls trying their utmost to strangle him and Tyler chuckled as he walked over.

"wow, Bell. who's the better hugdeath? The both of them or Asia?"

Bell chuckled as he fistbumped the Berserker.

"Asia wins. She's nearly killed me twice."

"Ha. YOU got balls kid, going after a blonde a her caliber."

"Ha. we're better friends."

"Yeah. I can see that. Asia's sweetness makes it a little weird don't it?"

Bell nodded with a fond smile.

"Like she's that kid sister you love to death and yet are driven nuts by. Still love her to death."

Asia's embarrassed whine was heard.

"Love you too!"

The two warriros chuckled at that one and Bell looked at him.

"Soooo her hearing is incredible."

"Asia is as Asia does."

"fair enough. Oh! That's right!"

Bell remebered the surprised group beside him now and looked at them.

"Tyler, these are some friends from my world. That guy with the red hair is Wulf Crozzo. He's a highly skilled blacksmith and can make enchanted weapons. I think him and Metalica should get to mnow each other."

"Ohhh. Good call. we need more camp craftsmen to be honest."

The redheaded man chuckled as he spoke in a deep bark. He was a tall guy the same hieght as Tyler with short cut redhair and bright blue eyes set into a friendly face. He was well cut too from his life hammering iron and the man wore a black robe.

"I guess you two got close. Nice to meetchya, Tyler! That sword though."

"It's made from Starlite."

"Huh. Never heard of it."

Metalica appeared from his soul and Tyler chuckled.

"She'll be happy to teach ya, Wulf. This is Metalicana. The Iron Sprite. Just call her Metalica."

Metalica chuckled as she looked at the surprised Wulf.

"Better be prepared to hate that hammer. I ain't as nice as he is."

"Oh damn."

Bell then patted a shorter girl with marron hair ina crop top and ragged shorts.

"This is Liliruca ard. She was my Supporter in my world. A skilled shapeshifter and support warrior."

Liliruca was not even Tyler's hip in height with thick marroon hair and pale skin. Her frame was petite with a large bust on her chest and her eyes were a bright purple. She wore a white robe over her croptop and shorts and spoke in a chirpy voice.

"Thanks for looking after MAster Bell, Sire. He means a lot to me."

Tyler chuckled.

"Me? LOOK after HIM? Toots he don't need no help. That guy is the third highest level in my entire party and one a MY go to linebreakers. Guy is a badass."

Bell smiled proudly as the group looked at him in shock.

"I WILL catch you, Tyler."

"Ha. I'm looking forward to it, Bell."

Bell then looked to an elven lady in a green tunic.

"That's Ryu Leafwood. A HIGHLY experienced adventurer and a VERY powerful one too. She's a bar maid at my favorite tavern in my old world."

Ryu nodded as Tyler looked at her. She was a head shorter then him with long blonde hair and a slender frame. Her skin was pale and her ears were tipped like spears. Her eyes were jade green and she wore a tunic of white cloth and green breeches while over her head was a cloak of green. She spoke in a soft, serene breath.

"A pleasure."

Tyler smiled.

"Nice to meetchya. You should coordianate with Strand and Dryft. They can fill you in on the good races of elves here."

"I will do so. These Draken. they ARE elven correct?"

"They are. They're a race of elf called Dark Elves. And the ones I've encountered have done NOTHING to discount what you've been told."

A second elf approached now from Bell's friends. She was a tall, serene beauty with long golden hair and blue eyes set into an elegant face. She wore elegant mage robes while in her hand was a staff tipped by a crescent moon shape. Her voice was a hard yet friendly sigh.

"I am Riveria of Loki. I wish to see one of these Dark Elves with my own eyes before I cast judgement, Sir Tyler."

"Sure. It's what I did. We'll run into em again sooner or later, Riveria. for the time being just focus on getting stronger in case we're right."

She nodded.

"I will do so."

Bell smiled as he next move to the next lady.

"This is Ais wallenstein. The Sword Princess. She was the highest level in my city. She is an EXTREMELY skilled rapier user and adventurer."

Ais was a VERY beautiful lady with long golden hair that hung to her hips and coldly sparkling blue eyes set into a round face. Her frame was slender and she had a moderate bust on her chest under her breastplate of iron. On her hip was a long blue rapier and she spoke in a soft, monotone voice.

"So it seems the Little Rookie has overtaken me. Now I have to catch up. I will do so."

Tyler chuckled.

"Yo Bell."

"Hit me."

"Her and Asuna in the same argument."

"JESUS CHRIST. there goes my night's sleep. Uh, Tyler?"

"No minimum safe distance. Poor Kirito."

"Poor EVERYONE! ais ALSO has a scary temper!"

"Oh shit. Ha. Get popcorn."

"Abso-fucking-lutely. I got Asuna."

"Me too. Ha."

Ais lifted an eyebrow.

"Bell."

The white haired kid chuckled as he looked the irritated girl int eh eye.

"The second in command. She's intense too."

Ryu smiled as Bell didn't even FLINCH looking Ais in the eye.

"You've improved."

"Thanks Ryu. But looking her in the eye is NOTHING compared to locking eyes with an angry forest giant. Been there done that."

"Okay Bell. Brag later. who's the shortstack?"

Bell smiled widest now as he gestured to the girl with the twin tailed hair.

"This is my Familia Goddess. Hestia. She....oh hell you know."

Hestia was a short yet very cute girl that rose up to Tyler's chest. Her hair was slate black and hung to her thighs in twin tails. Her frame was buxom with a large bust on her frame and her eyes were a sparkling blue. She wore a white dress that hung to midthigh and on her arms were a pair of white gloves. In her hair was a pair of flower ties that held her tails up and Tyler smiled as he looked at her.

"Nice to meet you, Hestia. Yo boy is a badass."

Hestia beamed proudly at this as she spoke in a chirpy yet cherry soprano.

"That's my Bell! And don't worry. I'm tough too."

"course you are. YOU'RE the Princess of the Gods."

She smiled smugly now.

"Yup!"

"HA. Yo BEll. Sorry. Asia sees her...POOF. exit the goddess."

"I'm actually looking forward to Asia getting a hold a Lily."

"YIKES. She might not live through it."

"Oh most likely not. It's okay. I got a healing potion."

Tyler whistled.

"damn dude. dark. I love it. Anyway. Metalica?"

"I got em."

Tyler nodded as he looked at Bell.

"I gotta go make sure Koneko hasn't shived anybody."

"I'll be in the arena later."

"Good. Show em what you can do."

"With knives."

Tyler looked at the stunned rookies with a chuckle.

"See ya round newbies."

The Berserker walked away to check in with his other elites and captains as Bell wowed his friends with tales from their adventures. The Berserker found Sora and Shiro next and the lanky redheaded boy smirked as he approached.

"we got some friends for you to meet, Tyler. Annnd I got an idea."

Tyler chuckled as he patted Shiro.

"Hit me."

"A CUTENESS contest. Winner is camp cutie."

"dude you are a fuckin genius. We'll set it up."

Sora chuckled at that before he gestured to a tall lady with lavendar hair.

"Now remember when you said we needed more battleangels? Well we got one more. This is Jirbril. The floogal."

Jirbril was a beautiful lady with an inch on the Berserker. Her frame was slender yet well built with a large bust on her frame while extending from her hips were a pair of wide white wings. Her attire was a haltertop of purple and a skirt like gown thing that left a lot of her body exposed. She spoke in a soft yet friendly tone while her eyes were golden....and there were upside down crosses in their depths. She litteraly had crosses for irises.

"So you are the one that command King Sora and Queen Shiro? I am the one they call Jirbril."

Tyler chuckled as he looked the lady over.

"Nice to meetchya Jirbril. So. YOU'RE a godkiller?"

She smiled cheerily.

"I am indeed! I am an ultimate weapon! sadly, YOU do not wield me. I swore myself to King Sora and Queen Shiro."

Here she smirked and a dark light appeared in her eyes while a ball of fire appeared in her hand.

"If you seek to order ME like THEY do, I am afraid you will have to defeat me. But such a FEEBLE human-"

"Magical rebuff."

"HUH?"

Jirbril had been floating on her white wings as she made this challange....and when Tyler's potent antimagic field took effect she was dumped on her ass. When she looked up the greatsword was resting under her chin.

"Checkmate."

Sora chuckled.

"5 seconds exactly. Pay up."

Shiro grumbled as she slid her brother 50 gold.

"I will GET you."

Tyler smiled as Jirbril gulped.

"You know I can cut you, right?"

She nodded around the sword.

"You win."

"Coolio."

The sword was replaced o his back and Sora chuckled.

"I warned ya, Jirbril. Tyler's the real deal."

She was instantly drooling with a fanatical light in her eyes as she looked at the Berserker.

"It has been too long since I felt fear for my life! we are allowed to kill here?"

"Yup. ALL of Tet's pledges have NO effect here. You're in a new world toots."

The floogal was squealing from excitement and Tyler smirked.

"Calm down before you wet yourself."

She settled right down and he noted her floating.

"Sooo yuo can fly?"

She smiled and presented her Status Plate.

"I can indeed, Master. My Proficency is Angel. I can use my flight abilities freely here so long as I have my mana. it is a steady drain however, so i can't maintain it for long."

"We'll get some numbers in you and go from there."

Sora then nodded to a tiny girl with amythest colored hair, ears, and the tail of a fox. She was the same height as Shiro with adorable eyes of violet.

"That's Izu. She's a warbeast. So her physical abilities should be of use."

Izu spoke in a soft voice.

"Why the fuck would I be useful t YOU? Please, thank you."

Tyler patted her and she blushed at the feeling.

"Cute. Cause once Asia sees you, odds she'll never let you go."

"Oh fuck. Thank you."

"Sure thing, Izu."

Sora chuckled as he looked around at the rest of the mingling force.

"We're gonna need more wagons."

"Ha. AND tents. Logistics are gonna be a fucking nightmare."

"Yup. Camps too."

"Those we'll have to cut into shape. PERFECT. Eh we'll deal with that later. You two good?"

They nodded and Shiro hugged him.

"I'll see Seria later."

"Have fun Shiro."

Tyler walked among the newcomers seeking the ones that were tough, looked tough, would need help or have their hand held when Wendy's happy voice was heard from his right. He looked over and smiled as he saw her getting a hug from a group of people with the same emblem on their arms as her. So he walked over as Wendy cradled a white furred cat to her modest chest. Tyler smiled as he walked up and patted the blue haired girl and she blushed at the attack.

"Oh hey Tyler. Come to pet ME or the CAT?"

"Ha. Maybe both."

"I'll be sure to tll Seria that."

"Blueberries together, am i right?"

She glared at him for that.

"I am a HEALER you jackass. Like i said before. Do you REALLY wanna piss off the girl that MIGHT have to shove your guts back in?"

"Sure. You're fun to piss off."

"I am going to hit you with a hurricane."

He chuckled at her irritation as the cat in her arms spoke in a warm yet formal voice.

"my word Child. Is THIS what you have turned into here? A FIERY foul mouthed warrior?"

Wendy smiled.

"Yup! That's Tyler. He's like Erza is for Fairytail....only a lot scarier when pissed. Annnd is the highest level in the party."

"Oh hey what level are you, Wendy?"

She pouted.

"I've been stuck at level 6 for a week. I've been doing stuff im our fights an all, but don't get much experience."

"We'll do some heavy grinding in the arena."

"Good. Asuna wants me to level up my Dragon Roar since it can knock opponents off their feet."

"Smart. So. Care to introduce your babysiters?"

"fuck you."

"Sorry not into your type a blueberry."

She slugged him in the balls then! he dropped as a fair few of the Knights busted up laughing and Asuna looked at her husband.

"WHY didn't I think a that?"

Tyler was laughing as Wendy cracked her knuckles with a dark expression.

"don't be that kinda creepy again."

"Yes Wendy."

"eep!"

"cute squeak."

"I am going to beat you to death you infuriating prick!"

He chuckled as he got to his feet and Erza appeared.

"NO bullying Wendy."

"Yes Erza."

"Good. I'LL hit you next."

"Now THAT sounds liek a thorough fisting."

Seria's sweet voice was heard then.

"enough dear. I am getting jealous."

He waved at his princess and she smiled sweetly as Wendy deflated from relief.

"THANK YOU. ugh. Guy can be utterly infuriating."

Tyler chuckled before he looked at the somewhere between amazed and appaled group.

"Soooo, hiya."

wendy sighed with a smile and pointed out the old man.

"This is my guildmaster. Makorov. He's the leader of Fairytail."

Makorov didn't even reach Tyler's KNEE in height. His frame was cut and his skin weathered from his age while he spoke in a wizedn old croak.

"It seems little Wendy has learned QUITE a bit during her time here. I am MAster MAkorov. And I would speak you Tyler the Berserker."

"Shoot."

The man gestured to his guild.

"Will my children be split up?"

"Hmm. Probably. I'm counting close to 30 warriors here and that would make for a lopsided formation. They won't get sent to a different force if that's what you're asking, but more split between the captains in mine."

"I see. Then I request to become a captain and tend to them myself."

Tyler crossed his arms now.

"Hmm. We'll be doing promotions based on merit and ability once we see what you can do. I am not saying yes, I am not saying no. Since if you get made a captain in MY army, I'd need to be able to rely on your abilites PERIOD. AND you'd be given command of MY warriors. Not just anyone gets that kinda weight."

Makorov smiled at this.

"I completely understand, young warrior. And do not blame you. I still wish to be a captain. And will earn my way up."

"Good attitude. We'll talk rules once everyone has had a chance to settle in."

They nodded and Makorov smiled

"I have one more question."

"Shoot."

A twinkle appeared in his eye.

"will we live life to the fullest?"

Tyler merely pulled up the view from the hang glider on his crystal and Makorov laughed at that point.

"I wish to try that!"

"Sure we still got the gliders."

"HA!"

Tyler chuckled at that humor as he looked at Wendy.

"You good?"

She nodded.

"Yup! Now go bully somebody else."

"Oh come on Wendy, you're the most fun to bully. You're a dragonslayer!"

"I will blow you into....wait."

She blushed as she realized what she was about to say and he laughed.

"Oh my god you have learned too much! Later Princess Hurricane."

"Hey-huh. I kinda like that. Princess Hurricane."

Tyler left her to her new ego trip ad headed to where Asuna and Kirito were talking with a group in various brightly colored attire. The Black swordsman fistbumped the Berserker as he walked up.

"Hey Tyler. We got our crew back."

"They suck as much as you?"

"Fuck you man."

"I don't swing that way."

"Ugh."

Asuna sighed as she hugged a small girl with black hair.

"Yue came too."

"really? Huh. Sup, runt."

The black haired girl GLARED at him for that.

"I will sacktap you while you are SLEEPING."

"Ha. Yup[. YO Asuna's girl alright."

Yue was an ADORABLE little girl with knee length black hair and pale skin. her attire was a grey gown and on her back were a pair of thn gossmer wings like a fairy. Kirito smiled.

"She got turned into a pixie here. Her Proficency is Navigator."

"No shit?"

"No shit. She's a navigator."

"That woulda been useful in that damn fog. She have a soul bind?"

Asuna nodded.

"She does. I bound her to mine. Kirito's was a BIT too cold for her."

"I was gonna offer mine. Metalica would love a little sister."

That made the redhead smile.

"She can still visit. Since YOUR soul is like a vault."

Yue smiled as she got a pat from the Berserker.

"I'll bind to your soul too, Sir Tyler. I can feel how warm it is from here."

Metalica appeared then with a pop.

"HOLD little Pixie. His soul would incinerate you at your current level."

The iron Sprite smiled as she looked at Tyler.

"I'll take her, Tyler. Teach her HOW to be a pixie."

"Thanks Metalica."

Yue shrank down to the same size as Metalica and was now garbed ina cute little dress of purple flowers. Metalica then flew into Asuna's soul and the redhead shivered as the sprite's heat hit her.

"Wow."

"Yeah Metalica's hot."

Kirito led a elven beauty with green hair forward now. She was Tyler's height with long green hair and bright yellow eyes and spear tipped ears. She was buxom with large breasts and garbed in a green tunic with a katana on her hip.

"Tyler, this is my sister Leafa. She's good with that katana."

Leafa smiled shyly as Tyler looked at her and her voice was a firm breath.

"Nice to meet you, Sir Tyler. So...are you like a PRINCE?"

"Nah. I AM the Queen's champion though."

"Wow."

"Ha. Don't worry, Kirito."

"She's my sister bro."

"Poor girl."

"I will hit you."

Tyler chuckled as a sudden scream tore the air.

"SAAAATUSKI! HERE YOU ARE!"

An explosion rocked the arena as a pair of girls wielding long katana like weapons were clashing with EXTREME ferocity and Tyler sighed as he saw the sailorsuit.

"DAMMIT Ryuko. I got em."

The Berserker threw himself into a leapt that saw him reach the girls as they clashed again in a split second. Tyler grabbed their wrists, twisted, and SLAMMED them both on their backs while at the same time relieving them of their weapons he kicked to a waiting Asuna and Kirito, who caught them cleanly. Tyler turned an extremely acrobatic flip before slamming his boots into the proned girls' bellies with enough force to DRIVE all teh air outta their lungs. The EXTREMELY exasperated Berserker then clapped the both of them over the ears and looked at em.

"You done?"

The taller lady had a glare in her black eyes as she barked at him in an imperious bell.

"Why do you interfere in OUR duel?"

"Cause you're not alone in the arena. wanna have a pissing contest, go ahead. BUT NOT WITH PEOPLE IN THE WAY. OR my FIANCE in FIRING range."

Tyler's eyes started turning red.

"Or WE'LL duel. With LIVE steel. Do I make myself clear?"

The lady tried to match eyes with the Berserker.....and found she couldn't. She looked away.

"we are."

"Good. Now YOU."

He looked to a glaring daggers girl in a blue and red sailorsuit. She was a head shorter then him with short navy blue hair and a neon red stripe in the middle. Her skin was fair and her bust large under her sailorsuit. Tyler smirked.

"I WONDERED when YOU'D show up, Ryuko Matoi."

She blinked and spoke in a hard, fearless snap.

"Who the hell are YOU?"

"Your story is kinda legendary in my world. oh. What up Senkestu?"

Ryuko snorted.

"He just said nothin much. Hanging around."

"Ha. I get it. Here."

Tyler flicked a drop of blood and a deep voice was heard un his mind.

"JESUS SWEET FUCKING CHRIST! GET IT OUT MY HEAD, GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD!"

The tramuatized voice of the sailorsuit had Tyler laughing hysterically and Ryuko looked at him with VERY confused blue eyes.

"Uhhh, what'd you do to him?"

"I showed him a hentai."

"HA! Oh yuo sick fuck! That's awesome!"

Senkestu shuddered.

"That guy is SICK Ryuko."

"How dat ass treatin ya?"

"I WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING THAT DEPRAVED TO RYUKO! FUCK YOU!"

Tyler chuckled.

"Classic."

Then he refocused.

"Okay. NO grudgematches of THAT intensity AROUND ther people. Wanna kill each other in the arena, GO FOR IT."

The other girl recovered her breath now to get to her feet. She was Tyler's height with a well cut frame and large bust on her narrow chest and severe features. her hair hung to her hips while her attire was a white military jacket. She looked dow her nose at the Berserker.

"So. You know Matoi. But NOT me?"

"Oh I know EXACTLY who YOU Satuski Kriyuin. Do we have an issue?"

"Yes. I will be a captain in this army."

"PROVE that you DESERVE the trust of ME putting THEIR lives in YOUR hands. And we'll go from there."

"Very well. Now RETURN my sword."

Tyler took the blades back and held them as they went to take them.

"ONLY warning."

Ryuko hung her sword, which was just half a giant pair of scissors, on her back.

"Yeah, yeah tough guy."

Satuski sheathed her sword on her hip without a word and Tyler walked away...and waved at Seria. The princess smiled at the show and Asuna chuckled.

"Nice moves, showoff."

"Ha. MArk em."

"Already did. They're gonna be a handful."

"Yup."

Kirito chuckled as the two girls glared at each other.

"Soo, what's their deal?"

"eh. Drama."

"Ah."

They shrugged as they returned to Kirito's friends. Leafa smiled as Tyler looked at her.

"So you're level 12 Sir Tyler?"

"Yup. Blackball here's level 11."

"Wow."

Kirito looked at her sharply and Tyler noted the awed look in the elven girl's eyes and he smiled.

"I'm engaged Leafa."

she blushed at the callout.

"I know. A girl can dream right?"

"Oh fair enough. Just try not to dwell on impossible dreams, and forget to enjoy being awake."

Asuna and Kirito whistled at the turn of phrase as Leafa sighed.

"Yeah!"

The redhead looked at him.

"Since when the hell can YOU sound like a sage?"

"I need to be set up for it."

"Eh oh okay."

Tyler looked at Mylissia and the queen nodded.

"Alright. we'll get them settled at the palace and get to some grinding."

Asuna nodded.

"Right."

The Berserker blew a whistle on his lips and the Knights fell in for new orders. Tyler took his spot at the front as Mylissia explained their pay and living situation. Once done, she nodded to Tyler.

"Alright recruits. We're heading for the palace. Keep close and try not to split from the group. Pay attention to the route as you'll be runnin it in der mornin. Any questions?"

He got crickets.

"Good. KNIGHTS OF THE BLOODOATH, MOVE OUT!"

The Veterans led their new Rookies through the arean and into the city proper. There they were created by the remainder of the Capital city's denizens on their Heroic Parade. Tyler was in the front waving at people and throwing roses to kids as per his way and Erwin smiled as he looked at Asuna beside him.

"He adores the masses. And masses adore HIM back."

Asuna chuckled as Tyler stopped to hug a small girl with a bandaged arm....and heal her arm.

"He likes feeling like the big hero to the kids. His words are everyone deserves to have a story to tell."

"Wise words indeed. He is an idealist then?"

"Only for HIS ideals. And my GODS is not afraid to make sure you live up to them. If NOT, ya get slapped."

Rias chuckled as she looked at the second in command.

"Like that time he threatened a city leader to his face when he got called out?"

"Or that time with spies in the guard."

They chuckled as Tyler caught another rose and tossed it to Helia in the crowd now and the elven smith smiled happily as he did. Rias smirked.

"Oh nice one jackass."

Erwin smirked.

"even though he is engaged?"

"She forged his first sword."

"Ah. Good man."

Tyler led the parade through the city to the palace where the court looked at them curiously and he smirked. Instantly the court gulped. Queen Elizabeth frowned as she saw this and looked to Belfast beside her.

"The Queen's court is TERRIFIED of him."

The silver haired Quartermaster nodded sagely.

"He has put to death two members of their count in VERY public displays, Liz. The first refused to set his false suit for the princess aside. Tyler used a rope to decapitate him in front of the entire arena. The SECOND he split clean in half for the crime of BLACKMAILING the queen and the princess. He has one member sworn by honor to him along with the knight captain when he uncovered a plot for usurption. He has made it VERY CLEAR, he WILL kill them if they so much as GLANCE in his cherished princess' direction in a manner he does not like."

Elizabeth sighed at this revelation.

"He rules by FEAR."

"He does not wish to rule."

She blinked.

"Then WHY is he marrying the princess, if not to rule?"

"He loves that lucky girl, Liz. Loves her so furiously I fear it may be just the SLIGHTEST bit unhealthy. Watch when they are together."

"I shall."

Tyler smiled as he saw Seria on her throne and walked up to her.

"I love you, Seria."

She smiled as he hugged her.

"I love you too, Tyler. whip em into shape."

"For you, my wife."

She shivered and he kissed her lovingly right there in the throne room.

"I'll be up shortly, my husband. I wanna watch the show some more!"

Elizabeth smiled dreamily now as the pairs' intense feelings were felt throughout the room.

"OH."

Belfast nodded with a smile.

"They have NEVER diminished in the month and a half they have been together. If anything, they have INCREASED."

Tyler then looked at the hungry warriors.

"Note to you long haired ladies.....try NOT to get it stuck in a door or a crack in the wall please?"

There was a mass of VERY dark glares thrown his way from a few long haired beauties and Liz looked at Belfast while stroking her own golden lockes.

"Bel."

"Pay attention dear."

".....Ugh."

Tyler left his giggling princess to lead the army to the immense dining hall where he took a seat at the middle of the head table with his captains and the elites took seats at the heads of tables for their meal. The Berserker then looked at Asuna once the rest were seated.

"We got a decent crop here."

she nodded.

"VERY. And a few of captain material too."

"I want more elites from them Asuna."

"we'll get them. They're all level one. Give em a chance."

"Any that'll need ground up work?"

She nodded as Jerial wheeled a trolley before them.

"A fair few. Some will need to be taught HOW to hold a sword."

"Makes sense. Any potential thorns?"

"Oh yeah. A large number of em. Ryuko and Satuski for example. I can tell already. THEY are going to be a handful."

"We'll use Melody's village on em then."

"Absolutely. A week?"

"We'll shoot for two, expect to get ONE."

"Agreed."

Rias on his other side rested her head on her hands as she looked at him.

"We're going to need a lot more supplies, Tyler."

"I know. The logsitics are going to be a nightmare. Belfast."

The silver haired beauty smiled.

"I have recruited Lady JAvelin and Sir Kyba for my assistants Tyler. I will need more in time though."

"We'll get them trained up and take your pick."

She nodded and Kirito swirled his wine while looking at the quietly conversing rookies.

"My friends won't need much help, Tyler. We're used to this."

"Lizbeth's smithing will be a help. Same with Wulf's. And Kirito?"

"What?"

"Why'd your sister come here as an elf?"

"Her gamer avatar is an elf."

"Ah. Oh yeah that's right."

"She a minor character?"

"Your show is listed as a HAREM anime."

"Oh jesus."

"Yup. Same with HIS."

He nodded at Bell and Asuna blinked.

"Seriously?"

"Yup."

"That's adorable!"

Kirito chuckled.

"Poor bastard."

Tyler nodded sagely.

"YUP."

Rias chuckled as they enjoyed the feast.

"So tomorrow we're back to babysiting. HUUUray."

"Ha. Pretty much."

Asia was heard giggling next to Shiro.

"Izu is SOOOO CUTE! She is MY snuggle tonight!"

"we'll snuggle her together then Asia."

"Yay! Oh. Yue's cute too."

"Her too. I'll get Yoshkia."

"I got Unicorn."

"This is gonna be fun!"

Tyler looked at Rias/

"it wrong I am suddenly very jealous of them?"

She chuckled.

"NOPE. I am too."

"Ha."

The forces fed well on their dinner before being led to their chambers by maids. Tyler went up to his chamber with Seria and the princess smiled.

"You were having fun up there."

"I kinda was. I always liked showing off."

she chuckled and nestled her head into his arm as they walked into their chamber.

"I liked watching you show off."

"I love you, Seria."

"I love you too, Tyler."

The pair took a bath together before they settled into their bed together. Metalica appeared with Yue, the recruit pixie, from Seria's soul and the black haired girl blushed as Metalica settled on the princess' boob.

"Here, Yue. It's like SUUUUUPER comfy."

"Um, okay."

Tyler chuckled as Yue snuggled up with the sprite on Seria's large mammary.

"Cute."

Seria giggled.

"it tickles!"

Tyler kissed her lovingly.

"Good night, Seria. I love you."

"Good night, Tyler. I love you too."
