SAO Finale, you have waited for it for long :)

"Okay everyone. The boss on the 75th Floor is particularly hard. Be prepared for anything! If everything goes well, this will be our last fight, so give it all you got!"

Yami opened the door to the 75th Floors boss. He was the first to step in with two swords equipped ready to receive any type of attack. After that came Esdeath, Mikasa and Raphtalia. Then the demi-humans and at last the SAO girls.

All the girls had undergone their respective evolution. But not even Asuna had crossed the "final line" yet.

While Asuna had her goddess Stacia look, Leafa had her ALO outwit and fairy wings on her back. She could even fly with them within Paradise and had a few spars with Mikasa, but within SAO they couldn't be used for flight and only looked nice. And yes, her bust had increased as well, just like Asuna, Sinon, Strea and Alice. And now hers was on a whole nother level. Even the DxD girls would be jealous of her.

Sinon on the other hand seemed to be a fusion between the three appearances she had. She had the soldier look from GGO, the cute, currently twitching, ears from ALO and the ability to fly just like in War of Underworld. She still had her bow, but Yami had already tried giving her a sniper and the results were really great. Within just five days, she was already able to rival most snipers in the army. That was probably also the result of her evolution which boosted her capabilities by a lot! The improvements seemed to make them even better at their respective strengths. In Sinon's case that would be her shooting ability. But their overall power would soar as well.

Besides the great "improvements", Alice and Strea didn't seem to have changed much, but in fact they underwent the most important evolution of all of them: Both of them were now real people. They weren't just programmes inside the game anymore, they were beings of their own. They got their own personal bodies and could do everything a human could, but a lot better. Their brain capacity was still that of an AI and although their bodies were like a human one, they were a LOT sturdier. They felt smooth and overall great, in every place of the body, but if one would try to cut through them with a normal sword, it would just break. Yami didn't know what their bodies were made of, but he guessed that it was on the level of vibranium while feeling no different from a normal human. Yami got to enjoy the pleasant feeling of Strea's breasts a lot as she wasn't at all shy with skin-contact and was proud of her "improvements". She also knew that Yami liked it and thus she would often hug him and so forth.

One time she even went into his bath together with Tsunade and Mikasa to wash his back. But since she was pretty much pure, Yami of course didn't assault her.

Each of the girls were ready to face anything that would be thrown at them.

The boss room seemed to be empty, but that just made all of them increase their guard and vigilance. Raphtalia, Mikasa and Esdeath all went closer to Yami to guard him at any moment. This bossroom had the biggest area of all the seen ones yet. There was the big platform in the middle and around it were a few smaller ones. The demi-humans all split up into groups as they practiced time and time again in other boss-rooms.

[The constellation "The Clone Wars is better than all the movies together" is saying; just like the simulations.]

"Above! Defense!"

Without any delay all the girls reacted to Raphatlia's shout. The next moment the doors of the boss-room closed and one could hear a disgusting sound from up above.

Hanging down from the ceiling was the gigantic boss. Something that looked like a skeletal centipede with an elongated skull for a head and red shining eyes. The majority of the creature's bones, including its arms, legs, and rib cage looked and functioned like scythes.

Its name was "The Skull Reaper" and it had four whole HP bars.

"Evade! Group up! Block!"

Esdeath gave orders as she, Yami, Raphatlia and Mikasa withdrew from the middle of the room. The next moment her predictions were proven right as the Skull Reaper jumped down from the ceiling and immediately slashed at the nearest group of demi-humans with its scythes like arms.

But the arms get blocked by the combined efforts of the three perfectly coordinated blades. Two greatswords, two swords, one spear and one dagger.

Since the attack failed, the boss started to move. It was very fast for its size and couldn't be predicted. Since it could attack even with its legs and it didn't have a normal attack pattern, it was a very very hard boss. In the original 14 veteran players died to it and it was able to kill players in just one hit.

However, the ones facing this monster of a boss were the Shadow Foxes, Yami's followers who had cleared floor after floor and boss after boss within days.

"Team D, E, F, Block! Others attack it while they hold it. Stay together, cover another, it is fast and probably deals a lot of damage! Expect irregular movements!"

Raphtalia shouted her orders and 18 demi-humans with shields, two handed greatswords and other weapons moved forward to meet the boss in a head on clash. The others spread around, ready to attack it, but defend at the same time as well.

"Hit me!"

A certain blonde crusader shouted from the team of tanks that were currently trying to get the boss's aggro. In response the Skull Reaper really charged towards her, but just as Darkness was ecstatic about getting hit, the boss circled around the tanks, which also included Strea, and went directly for the smallest group; Yami's group.

"The boss can ignore taunt skills! Change of plans! Go after it and pin it down together! No casualties or great risks allowed!"

Even as the boss was coming for her, Raphtalia first gave her orders. After that she got into position besides Mikasa, while Yami and Esdeath also prepared to clash with the boss.

The Skull Reaper slashed at both of their groups with one of its scythe hands respectively. Yami and Esdeath both slashed at it. The boss rebounded a bit and then attacked once again, this time they blocked and interlocked their blades with the "claws".

Instantly, all the demi-humans attacked it the same moment. They attacked its legs while Yami held the attack in place with Esdeath and Mikasa kept it stationary with Raphtalia.

The boss let out a horrible screech and used its legs to attack the demi-humans while trying to push away the four at its front.

The Shadow Foxes all blocked the legs perfectly and the Skull Reaper wasn't able to get out of this situation at all. Esdeath on the other hand had an idea while seeing this happen and pushing against the front scythes and even pushing it back a bit together with Yami.

"Try cutting the legs!"

Some of the legs were needed to stabilize its ginormous body and the others were locked in place by one or two demi-humans, thus the boss couldn't defend itself as several of the girls slashed and smashed against its legs with greatswords, hammers, swords or katanas.

Against what should be possible, the legs were indeed damaged by the attacks and the Skull Reaper screeched again, even louder this time, and pushed all of them away from its body with enormous strength. After that it started running around the big plattform.

There wasn't even a need for orders anymore as all of them knew what they had to do.

Strea, Darkness, Alice and Raphtalia all ran after the centipede. Esdeath, Mikasa, Asuna and Leafa ran towards its front to clash with it once again.

The demi-humans cut off the escape routes and prepared for another attack.

Yami had gone over to Sinon who was being covered by Senko, Chocola and Vanilla since she was the weakest of them all and needed to be protected since she fought with a bow. She was firing arrows at the boss. Although it was moving fast and hard to predict, Sinon was easily able to hit it. The big size made it easier, but she even managed to hit the constantly moving head, showing just how good of a markswoman she truly was. And this wasn't at all the extent of her abilities.

"Sinon, I think the best idea would be to get you onto one of the platforms floating around."

She nodded while letting an arrow loose which passed by Esdeath's head and pierced into the skull of the Skull Reaper. The only problem was that she couldn't fly and the platforms were a bit away.

Suddenly Yami grabbed her by her waist, making her bush. He even touched her tail for a moment which was very sensitive.

"Yami, we are in a boss battle, we can't…"

The next moment she felt herself being lifted off the ground and then she was sent flying. Without even realizing what just happened she landed on a hard surface with her butt.

"YEET!"

[The constellation "God-father" is laughing. 100 Points sponsored.]

Only this energetic shout of Yami brought her out of her stupor. As she looked around she was indeed on one of the flying platforms and could see Yami waving at her.

She picked up her bow, drew back an arrow and shot, all of this took not even a second. However, Yami just grabbed the arrow flying at his head.

"Next time you do that, I'll shove a fire arrow up your nostril!"

Yami had literally just yeet-ed her. She wasn't a god damn ball that he could throw around damn it!

[The constellation "God-father" says that he would never damn such a great ball of Waifu-material.]

Yami just waved at her once more before running back towards the boss who had been locked in place once again. The demi-humans already managed to shatter one of its legs, throwing it slightly off balance, but it still had more than enough legs left. He could already feel an arrow flying past him with dangerously small space between.

He ignored it, charged up a sword skill and slashed at one of the legs more in the front with his two swords. The leg tried to attack Yami, but he just dodged it and cut at it. He slashed at several different places of the leg on which slash wounds appeared. Now that he had made the thing unstable by carving it in at different places, Yami took out a hammer and swung at the leg, which shattered into many shards the moment the great impact hit it.

The same thing happened through the team work of the demi-humans.

"Nyahahaha~"

Hanekawa was having her fun just tearing off the leg after "preparing" it by slashing at it with a dagger enough. And Eris was helping her by keeping the leg in place by using both a greatsword and just her normal body strength.

Darkness was running around "helping" while trying to get the chance to become a Human Meat Shield, but didn't have a lot of success in her efforts. Sachi was constantly running after her trying to heal her, the sight was hilarious. Sachi wanted to feel useful since the others were just too good at blocking and evading and never got injured enough to need her.

The boss raised its scythe hands and slashed at Alice and Yami with both of them.

The SAO girls and Yami were currently keeping it occupied while Esdeath, Mikasa and the others attacked it.

One of its four health bars was already gone under the onslaught of dozens of blades and sword skills hitting it.

"Hyaa!"

Before both the claws could hit their target, one was impacted by Strea's greatsword while the other one indeed hit, but Alice stood her ground and didn't budge at all even under the attack of a boss. This was also the result of her Evolution, the knight would meet the foe under the flag of her lord or king even if that enemy was a boss that would one-hit players with its ridiculous strength.

Leafa and Asuna used this chance to attack. Contrary to the rest of its legs, the arms couldn't be destroyed. Their rapier and sword did quite a lot of damage since the head was a spot that did a lot of damage to it, but the boss didn't really have a weak spot.

Yami on the other hand used this opportunity to jump up onto the boss's body and ran along it while stabbing two swords into the back, slicing it open as he ran along the large body.

- - -

The great boss of the 75th Floor. A monster feared by all players was currently helplessly lying on the ground while being bullied.

After around ten minutes, they were able to destroy all the legs. Now the fast and strong Skull Reaper couldn't do anything as it was laying on the ground like a helpless baby.

It was screeching, but couldn't do anything about its current state. Its HP had already dropped to the red zone and right now dying was almost like a kind of salvation for the utterly beaten boss.

As Yami, Asuna, Leafa and Alice approached it, it tried to attack them, but this attempt was futile. They just dodged a bit and stepped in.

It screeched once again, but very weakly this time. Asuna, Leafa and Alice all raised their weapons to deliver the final blow. All of them attacked together.

However, there was still a small bit of HP there, the boss suddenly screeched louder and even worse sounding than before and raised its body, even without its legs.

It was still a towering figure.

Seeing this, all the girls jumped at the boss, intending to end its life before it could do anything.

The whole body of the boss glowed red!

Yami wasn't sure, but he felt as if the skinless face of the boss had a smug smile for a moment as the red darkened.

(This…)

The red got darker and darker.

(Attack takes way too long!)

The boss was hit with an arrow to the head by Sinon and then all the demi-humans, Alice, Asuna, Leafa, Strea and the wifes struck down the boss before it could release its attack.

[The constellation "I'm just going to wait for my enemy to charge up his power because I'm an idiot" is nodding at your wisdom once again. 100 Points have been sponsored.]

The boss exploded just like all the ones before it.

"Great work everyone."

All the demi-humans expressed their joy after hearing Yami's praise. The ones that did best were going to get "rewarded" and this reward was the great, and wet, dream of any of them.

However, Yami's eyes suddenly squinted a bit.

"Surround!"

Although they didn't understand what was going on, all of the girls instantly reacted by scattering a bit and forming an encirclement around the centre of the boss-room where the boss just died.

"Look how they massacred my boy."

A beautiful lady appeared in the middle of the room as if she had teleported herself there. Her silver hair reached down her back and she wore loose robes. The Admin of SAO; Quinella.

"It seems that I really need to take this into my own hands. Strea, Alice! As the Admin of SAO I command you, do as you were designed for and follow my orders; Kill the player named Yami!"

She said this while moving her hand, likely accessing the system to make them do as she said by force.

Both Alice and Strea looked at Yami, then at Quinella and raised their weapons. Towards Quinella.

"... Is that so… Even you are now immune to the system's commands…"

Looking a bit disappointed, she shifted her sighed from the two AI's to Yami.

"Boy. This is my world, the world that I love. And thus the world that I rule. I love everything. I rule everything. I challenge you to a duel to the death, if I win you will stop your efforts of conquering the game. If you win, I will free all the players. This is your only chance and don't think that the last floors are as easy as the ones before. It would be best for you to accept. You want to be the hero who saves everyone, right? Then earn that title!"

A rapier appeared in her hand which she pointed at Yami.

"Come, boy!"

In response Yami lifted one sword and pointed it at her as well. Quinella smiled internally. Actually she was at the end of her rope as well and this was the best outcome she could hope for. With the help of the system she could cheat this duel and kill the greatest threat to this game and thus her continued existence.

She stared right at Yami who took a deep breath.

This was going to be the showdown that would determine the lives of thousands of humans.

He closed his eyes.

He opened his eyes.

He opened his mouth.

He lowered his sword by a little and spoke two words.

"Get her!"

The next moment all the demi-humans jumped at Quinella and instantly pinned her down. She couldn't do anything against their superior numbers and strength. She can't use the system against them since they were immune to it just like Yami. And most of all, she didn't expect this at all.

Yami slowly walked over to the now incapitated Admin of SAO.

"This was… anticlimactic… But seriously, why should I fight you one on one? I gain nothing from it, Kayaba will end the game the moment you are dealt with. I don't need to be a hero, I just need results. And, you were going to use the system and cheat the "fair duel" anyways. And a certain someone wants to get over with this as well."

Quinella opened her mouth with bloodshot eyes, but before she could even utter a word, Yami crouched down in front of her and placed his palm on her head.

"You are not even really evil, you just want to continue existing, you just want to survive. You just want to be free. Don't worry, I'm someone sent to give a hand to certain people like yourself. I won't kill you, I will send you to a certain world, my world. However, you will be completely powerless and Tsunade will watch over you for the first few days, better not do anything dumb. Just because I don't intend to kill you doesn't mean that there won't be any punishment. And Tsunade is a master at healing, even fatal wounds on your body can be healed… If you are a good girl, I will even let you continue watching over the world that you love. I still need someone to run Aincrad after all."

Before Quinella could even comprehend the strange things Yami just said a Gate appeared under her and she fell through it. The next moment she impacted the ground again, this time a wooden one. As she looked up she could see a beautiful woman with assets so big that even Quinella, who took great pride in her body, got very jealous.

The woman got up and cracked her knuckles.

"I'm Tsunade, Yami told me that I should make sure that you are going to be a good girl. Let's see what I can do."

That moment Quinella's instincts screamed at her that she needed to get away immediately, but she couldn't use the system or even use strength exceeding a normal human.

Tsunade instantly appeared in front of her. Slowly, just like a roboter, she haltingly looked up at the one she already categorized as a demon. And the smile on her face gave Quinella chills.

"Let's get started.

- - -

After Quinella was dealt with pretty easily, Yami decided to wrap things up. He sent Raphtalia to fetch Kayaba.

A minute later both of them went back through the still opened Gate. Kayaba had used his time in Paradise to come to terms with his circumstances and smoking a lot while he was at it. Thus, although he was a bit reluctant, he opened the GM menu and after a deep breath and a sad look, he pressed a "confirm" button.

[Congratulations, you have cleared the first scenario; SAO. You have 12 hours left before being sent back to your homeworld. The rewards will be given after your return.]

While this was the most important message, which came from his system, the SAO-system also displayed a message to all the players: "The game has been cleared. Congratulations."

Yami was really a bit disappointed with this ending. It seemed that God really wanted to get back to the main world quickly.

"Well, the players will get logged out within the next five minutes. This is what you wanted right? I did my part of the deal, can you hold up yours now?"

Yami nodded towards Kayaba while opening a big Gate once again. Somehow this one looked even more majestic than normally.

"We will be returning to Paradise, say goodbye to SAO and get back to the Main-world. You have all made me proud and got stronger. I'm going to reward all of you for your hard efforts."

The demi-humans wanted to get on their knees and thank Yami again, but currently Yami just wanted them to go back to Paradise and Esdeath knew that. Thus she took the lead and led everyone back into Paradise. Raphtalia and Mikasa waited at the Gate since only Yami, Kayaba and the SAO girls were left.

Yami turned towards Asuna, Leafa, Alice, Strea and Sinon, who got back onto the platform with Chocola and Vanillas help.

"This is your last out. If you stay here, you will be logged out of the game and be with your loved ones. However, if you go through this portal this time, it will be final. After that there is no way back, only the way of following after me. What is it you choose."

None of them hesitated, but Asuna was still the first to move, however, and the girls didn't move towards the Gate, but got in front of Yami instead.

"Yami-kun. No, Yami, would you please take all of us?"

Asuna was the one who spoke up and Yami could see the ears of Alice, Sinon and Leafa turn red. But there was still unwavering determination in their eyes.

"You seem to have made your decision. After you go to Paradise, go towards my room. I'm going to 'take' you there. Just one question, who came up with the idea and does this include Strea as well?"

Strea just looked at me with an innocent look in her eyes. That answered his question. Indeed she was now only about half a year old and even though her body was mature, she was rather like a daughter like Yui.

"The mon- I mean Eve was the one who spoke to all of us. And no, we didn't talk to Strea about this."

Asuna spoke once again since she seemed to be the only one not at all ashamed of the topic of sex.

Yami smiled and just nodded.

(Eve.)

{Yes?}

(Omega good job.)

{Always.}

[The constellation "[ ]" is saying that the one true, unchanging righteousness in the world is… CUTENESS!]

"We will be going then!"

Leafa quickly said, grabbed Sinon and hastily jumped into the gate. She couldn't handle staying there anymore after practically proposing to Yami to have sex with her.

Strea went over to Yami as well and hugged him, pressing him against her body as if she was trying to become one with him through just that. She was a daughter that loved the physical contact with her father.

"You know, after my evolution I was able to feel things more clearly, and this is by far my favourite sensation… Well, I will be going over to big Sis Yui, come quickly."

Alice went over to him as well, but took a knee in front of him, just like a knight in front of her king.

"I swear on my pride as a knight to wield my blade in your name and fight for your cause until my last breath. Your enemies shall perish under my sword and your words and orders shall be imprinted into my very soul. No matter what, I will dedicate my sword and myself to you. I am your knight and you are my lord and king."

With her head lowered, she glanced at Raphtalia who gave her a thumbs up. She had previously talked about this with Esdeath and Raphtalia when she was in Paradise. Alice offered up her sword in front of her head with both her hands for Yami to take it.

Yami grabbed onto the handle of the golden sword and lifted it up. After that he unsheathed it and turned it so that it was horizontal. Next he slowly put the sword onto Alice's right shoulder and onto her left shoulder.

"From now on you will be my knight. I have great expectations for you, Alice."

"Yes, my king!"

He sheathed the sword again and held it out to Alice who took it with great vigor.

"You know, within Paradise I can make even better food than in this game. Later there will be a big feast to celebrate the clearing of SAO."

The moment Yami said those words, Alice practically dove right into the gate. The glutton was really easy sometimes.

"Well then, if you don't want to be logged out, you should probably get into Paradise soon as well."

Yami said that to both Asuna and Kayaba, who was still looking somewhere that was probably not seeable with the eye.

Suddenly Asuna appeared in front of him, grabbing his coat collar.

"Tonight. We. Your room. It's going to be a great night. Clear."

"Let's see whether you can even stay awake for the whole night."

"Are you challenging me?"

"I'm saying the truth."

"We will see about that."

Asuna was now a bit more uncertain. Eve never was very specific about this topic, but now she was unsettled. She needed to prepare for this night fight! Thus, she quickly went into Paradise as well.

{Revenge will come for you, Asuna. Dear, please go a bit harder on her.}

This was Eve's revenge for the way Asuna had been calling her and it was a VERY effective revenge.

Now only the dazed Kayaba and Yami were left. He went over to the genius who was standing there seemingly in a daze. He walked until he stood next to him.

"Looking back at it now, all of this is just the dream of a naive little kid and yet, it pains me to end it - to end my dream…"

"Your dream and world will live on. However, now that the dream of the child is fulfilled, how about the adult gets to pursue an own dream as well?"

At Yami's world, Kayaba finally shifted his sight away from whatever far away place he had been looking at. He looked Yami deep in the eyes and both of them just stood there for a few seconds.

"Yami, what is yours?"

Now it was Yami's turn to shift his sight away and look somewhere that wasn't the present world.

"Who knows… To be honest, that's what I want to know myself. What is my dream… What is my reason for being…"

{...}

Kayaba had a profound contemplative look on his face. However, the next moment he could hear a muffled sound from his side.

"Pfffff. Haha, did you take my words seriously? It seems even a genius is powerless in front of the Bullshit-no-Jutsu."

With a sneer on his face, Yami turned around and walked towards the Gate.

"If you don't want to go back to the real world and be hunted down by the government for being the greatest mass-murderer in the present time, you should probably get over your sentimentas faster rather than slower."

With now only Kayaba left, he took one last long look at the castle in the sky that he created. And then left as well.
