No ones POV

"I see....." Administrator walks up and see a huge blood stain on the ground. "He wounded himself at the last minute... and managed to escape... what a clever one." Administrator said to herself as she remembered what happened

*Flashback*

"Oh no!!!"

SOARING!!!

"Move Dekarusu..... if you don't move.... you and Alice will die....! MOVE!!!" Dekarusu thought to himself as he think about surviving and managed to move

"Hm....?!" Administrator was a little surprised

"MOVE!!!!!~"

STABBED!!!!!

"Argh!!!~

As Dekarusu stabbed his right leg, he managed to save himself and Alice from getting stabbed, and then he carries her bridal style and then

"System Call! Generate Luminous Element!~

FLASHED!!!!

"Mm!!!" Administrator was blind by the light, Dekarusu and Alice flees away.

*Flashback Ends*

"He managed to wipe fear with pain..... and used a ritual to blind me with a fierce light. He's a clever one... hehehe.... I can't wait to make him mine....." Administrator giggles seductively

-With Dekarusu and Alice in the woods-

As Dekarusu and Alice managed to escape away from the Administrator.....

"Pant. Pant"
"Mmn~
UNSHEATHE!!!
"Argh!!!" Dekarusu pulls the Kunai out of his leg and blood splatter.

"D-Deku! That wound is really deep, are you going to be alright?!" Alice said

"Y-Yeah...... *Pant, Pant* I only managed to buy us a few minutes to rest.... and then we should get out of here, we definitely don't have a chance against her! Whoever she is, she's really dangerous!" Dekarusu said as he healed himself and then he looked up to make sure she didn't follow them.

"S-Should we call for backup...." Alice said

"I... I don't know...... b-but.... I think we should.... just in case~ Wait!!! M-My phone?!? Is gone!!!" Dekarusu said as he was shocked. "I think I've dropped it after I stabbed myself!!" Dekarusu said

"D-Don't worry... I still got mine." Alice said

"Ok!! I think she still in the same spot!" Dekarusu said as he was scared now. Then Alice heard something

BUSHES MOVING!!

"Hm?!~

DASHED DASHED!!!

"Deku! Look out!!!" Alice said as they saw the Administrator popped out of the bushes

"AHHHH!!!" Dekarusu jumped away from the Administrator

"Hehehe!!! You're mine!!!" Administrator was laughing evilly, making him scared a lot more.

"NOO!!! STAY AWAY!!!!" Dekarusu shouted as he throws a Kunai at the Administrator.

KUNAI THROWS!!! STABBED!!!! THUDDED!!!

"Sigh"
"That was really close!!" Alice said as they saw the Administrator takes a huge hit in the face... or they thought that happened

"Nice try...."

"Huh?!?!?"

"That Kunai didn't even touched me...." Administrator got up from the ground.

"W-What are you?! Immortal?!" Dekarusu said

"You could say that....." Administrator said

"What?!" Alice said

"But that doesn't matter.... just like I said... I'm here to give you something... Dekarusu Sumisu...." Administrator said as she looks at Dekarusu....

"Give me something?! Whatever it is, I'm not accepting it!" Dekarusu said

"It's fine if you accept the gift or not, because either way..... I'll have to take you and your little friend's life If I wanted to....." Adminstator said

"Damn! Alice!!" Dekarusu said. "Go and run away as fast as you can!!" Dekarusu said as he made Alice shocked

"What?! Are you crazy?! She'll kill you in an instant!!" Alice said

"Just go Alice!! I'll hold her off while you go look for help! I'll sacrifice myself to help the people I cared about!" Dekarusu said as he made Alice shocked

"Hm! Clever, even if you do that, I'll still capture her and kill her..." Administrator said

"Not on my watch! System Call! Generate Thermal Element!~

"Deku!!!

"Arrow Shaped!' Discharge!!" Dekarusu said as he shoots Fire Elements at the Administrator

SHOOT!!!

"Sigh"
"It's no use Dekarusu." Administrator easily blows away the Elements

BLOW!! PUFFED!!!

"Crap! Then how about this!!~

CUT!!!! BOOBY TRAPS!!

As Dekarusu cuts off a trap, a bunch of Kunai Knifes was launched at the Administrator.

"Hehe... how cute but~

CLASHING!!!! THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD!!!

The Administrator used her hair to deflected all the Kunai knifes.

"What the?! She used her hair?! Man!" Dekarusu was shocked and decided to use his sword to attack her.

"System Call! Generate Thermal, Aqueous, Aerial, Luminous Elements! Combine Elements! Discharge!!!" Dekarusu used 4 elements at the same time and attack the Administrator

"Sigh"

"Deku!! It's useless!!" Alice said

"I'll just blow them away again~

"Dispelled!"

EXPLOSION!!!!

The explosion was made as a decoy to distract the Administrator

"J-Just like he did to me....!" Alice was shocked

"Hm? Impressive...."

"Ok! Time to surprise her with this!~

"If your planning to use the same tactic like you did to your friend then it's not going to work." Administrator said

FWOSSHED!!

"HA!!!" Dekarusu charged foward

CLASHING!!!!

"What the heck?!" Dekarusu said as he could reach to Administrator's face

"Your sword won't reach me~

SMACKED!!!!

"Wah!!!" Dekarusu was sent flying towards Alice after he was smacked away by the Administrator's hair

GRINDING!!!!

"Deku!!" Alice catches Dekarusu

CATCHED!!!

"Nice catch!" Dekarusu said

"Deku! C'mon! Let's get out of here! We don't stand a chance against her! We need to retreat!" Alice said as she hold Dekarusu tight

"W-What's the point now?! She'll just catch up to us again and kill us!! It's now or never!!" Dekarusu said. "And it's anyone coming to help us?!" Dekarusu said

"I think so because after she pops out of from the bushes, I was able to contact one person to help us now." Alice said

"Damn! Fine! But Alice~
LOOSEN!!!
"I'll hold her off. Just get out of here ok." Dekarusu said

"I-I won't leave you! I'm not going anywhere and leave you behind!!" Alice refuses

"What choice do you have?! She targeting me, not you?! I don't want anything happen to anyone, not on my watch anyway!" Dekarusu said

"W-What makes you wanna do this?! Why risking your life~

"Because!!!" Dekarusu interrupts Alice

"!!"

"I don't wanna see the people I truly cared died right in front of me...."

"Gasped"

"After 2 years ago, more than 10,000 people died inside of a game called "Sword Art Online" and Kirito, Asuna, Liz, Silica, Klein, Agil, Akira, Soma, Aoi and I were trapped inside the game. It was like a living hell. And we tried everything we all could to survive and we all did, thanks to Kirito beating the game.... so that's why I always risked my life to save the people in cared about~ even you, Eugeo, Ronye and Tiese." Dekarusu said

"D-Deku....."

"So that's why I said to go and call for backup." Dekarusu said

"Aww! I'm touched Dekarusu...... but that's impossible to let someone go and call for help. And besides, how are you going to escape if we're in this forest? Which way is the exit?" Administrator said

"Drat! She does have a point cuz.... in this forest... it'll going to take a while to find the hideout again....." Dekarusu said to himself. "You know what.... Alice.... I really wish there's a way out of this but we could at least warn her down." Dekarusu said

"Yes... but we shouldn't be rash with her. Let's do this Deku." Alice said as she unsheathe her sword

"Oh! Now you two wanna face me? I'm satisfied with this, but~

SUMMONS!!!

Administrator summons her sword

"This sword "Silvery Eternity" will be enough for you two."

"You're ready Alice?" Dekarusu said

"Yes I am Deku." Alice said as they dashed towards the Administrator

DASHED!!!

Dekarusu made the first move by using "Vorpal Strike"

"Here!"

DASHED!!!

CLASHING!!! THUD!!!

Administrator deflected the Vorpal Strike.

"Alice!!!" Dekarusu said as she strikes at the Administrator

"HAAAA!!!!"

CLASHING!!! CLASH CLASH CLASHING CLASH CLASH SWIFT THUD!!!!

Alice was delivering attacks but the Administrator easily blocked the attacks and sends her flying towards Deku

"Alice!!"

CATCHED!!!

"System Call! Generate Luminous Element! Luminous Ray!" Dekarusu used System Call to use the lights to divide into 5 blast

SHINES!! THUD THUD!! SLASHED!!

"Now!!"

Dekarusu and Alice attacked at the same time

DASHED!! JUMPED!! CLASH CLASH CLASHING!!! THUD REFLECTS!! GRINDS!!! CLASH CLASH REFLECTS!!! JUMPED!! DIVED!! CLASHING THUD!!!

"Crap! We can't get a hit in!! Even if it's 2 against 1?!" Dekarusu said as he was sent flying and. Alice charged in

"HAAAAA!!!"

CLASH CLASH CLASH CLASHING CLASH CLASH~ THUD!!! CRASHED!!!

Alice was sent flying towards the tree and was suddenly knocked out

"Alice!!!" Dekarusu head towards Alice and see she was knocked out. "Alice! Alice! Wake up!" Dekarusu said as he check to see if she still alive. "Good... her heart still beating." Dekarusu thought to himself. "Your gonna pay for that!" Dekarusu said

"Oh, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to knock out your friend." Administrator said as she was being sarcastic

"I know you're being sarcastic!" Dekarusu charged in

DASHED!!

CLASHING!!!

"So this is your limit?"

"Huh?! My limit?! What are you blabbing on about?!" Dekarusu said

"You wanted to get stronger... isn't that right?"

"Y-Yeah! So!" Dekarusu said

"So I wanna see how strong you are.... suddenly... I have an interest in you and your abilities....."

"What?! You have an interest on me and my abilities?!" Dekarusu said

"Yes..... your skills, speed, power, intellect, everything.... it's really entertaining me...."

"What the hell!~

CLASH CLASH CLASHING CLASH CLASH CLASHING!!!

"What makes you know everything about me?!~

"About you and some of your friends and family stuck inside of a game called "Sword Art Online"?"

"Wha~ How did you know about that?!" Dekarusu was shocked

"I've been researching about you and your past... and not only you, your family and friends as well...."

"Research?!" Dekarusu said

"Yes.... well... with you... when you heard about that virtual reality game came out... you got so excited over it and begged your family so badly to play that game and when you 4 played the game for the first time..... you all were stuck inside the game.... and you suddenly blamed yourself for trapping you and family inside but you wanna make it up to them but helping them understanding the game and to survive. And then on the 75th Floor.... against the Skull Reaper~

"!!!!" Dekarusu's eyes widened

"The fact that your cousins did survived but.... they should've been dead now if it wasn't your promise to help them surviving..."

Dekarusu was really shocked... and was suddenly angry.....

"Their destiny was supposed to be sealed during that time... and right now..... as you tried to forget that painful past and experience of your family dying right in front of you~

"Shut up!!!" Dekarusu said

"Hm?"

"Just shut up!!!" Dekarusu said as he was angry

CLASHED!!!

"You don't get it!!! It's true that it's my fault that I trapped the 4 of us into that game! But I did made a promise to my family to survive in that death game! I always keep my promises and on that day I did! You don't understand of how I feel during those painful times I had but with them! I feel like I wish I'd never done anything like that again but I've learned my lesson after Kirito beat the game!!!~

CLASH THUD!!! SWING JUMPED CLASHED THUD CLASHED!!

"But ever since then, on Day 1, I wanna get stronger than I was before! But not only for myself but for my family as well! I loved them so much that I'll do anything to make up my mistake and they helped me so I won't feel depressed!!!" Dekarusu said as his anger gets the best of him

CLASH CLASH CLASHING!!! THUDDED!!!

CRASHED!!! GRINDING!!!

As Dekarusu was sent flying away from the Administrator... he quickly stabbed his sword to the ground so he won't crashed into an unconscious Alice....

"Oh..... your pain is really interesting.... but it's true of what I said! Your cousins are supposed to be dead by now!" Administrator said as Dekarusu unsheathe his sword of the ground.

"You know what?! I really hate to admit it but.... yeah.... some people were gonna die on that floor anyway... and I did got a feeling that one, two, or all the 4 of us gonna die... but instead.... it was a miracle to me that we made out alive.... and I used that miracle for us to survive.... and if the 3 of them died... I wouldn't be myself anymore..... all alone, full of regrets and everything else. But if I didn't have my family and friends always believe in me, then I wouldn't be here now!!!" Dekarusu said

"Now you understand the truth... it really hurts doesn't it?"

"Yeah... it hurts.... a lot but I've learn the pain from back then..... had made me~

"STRONGER!!!!"
GLOWED EYES

(A/N: Pretend Dekarusu's eyes are Red)

Suddenly as Dekarusu remember the past and the pain he felt in past.... suddenly triggered his unknown power from the game like Kirito did...

"Oh...... his eyes turned red.....?! Just like Kirito from the game....?! Interesting.... that means he still has some incredible power in him....." Administrator said to herself

"Akira... Soma.. Aoi...... thanks to you three... I am who I am today..... and I still feel guilty after everything we've been through in the past..... so I'll use it to make me stronger.... stronger than you three, Alice, and everyone else and especially Kirito!" Dekarusu thought to himself as he was in a new stance

"I think his true potential is kicking in.... I think I'll play with him for a bit." Administrator said

"Everyone..... Alice.... if I wanna get stronger.... I have to defeat this Administrator!!!" Dekarusu said as he dashed towards the administrator.

STOMP STOMP!!! DASHING!!! JUMPED!!!!

Dekarusu has jumped in the air incredibly high and begin using a ritual call~

"System Call! Generate Non-Element!~

"Humph!"

SWOOSHED!!!

PIERCE THROW!!! ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!!

"Non-Elementals?! Not bad~

SWIFT SWIFT!!!

As Administrator dodged the Non-Elemntal spikes, Dekarusu used the tree to dashed against Administrator in midair.

"HAAA!!!!"

ZOOMED!!! THUD THUD!!!

GLIDING!!! STOMP STUD!!!

"Impressive.... this is getting really good."

DASHED DASHED!!!

DASHED!!

THUD! SWIFT SWIFT CLASH CLASH SWIFT SWIFT THUD CRUSH!!! SWIFT! CLASH! DODGED SWIFT CLASH JUMPED!!! ZOOMED!!!

"I can see!!"

CLASHED!!!

"I can see CLEARLY!!!" Dekarusu said as he used the elements against the Administrator, making it explode.

SHOOT SHOOT!! EXPLODE!!!

"HAHHH!!!" Dekarusu used Vorpal Strike but it shoots a long range blast!!!

EXPLODE!!!!

"Hehehe.... good.... really outstanding...." Administrator thought to herself as she used her hair to sneak attack Dekarusu

CRUSHED!!! GRUMBLING!!! DODGED!!!

Dekarusu has quickly dodged her hair and gain some distance away from her.

*Inhale. Exhaled.*

"You aim is remarkable unique... and you can see me with your new power can you?" Administrator said to herself

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Then Alice woken up

"Aaahhh.... w-what happened...?!" Alice said as she sees Dekarusu. "D-Deku....? His eyes are red...?!" Alice said as she got up weakly.... and Dekarusu noticed her

"Alice.... she's finally awake.... good." Dekarusu thought to himself.

"I knew Dekarusu has some potential.... I had fun today.... but.... I need to find an opening....." Administrator said as she seen Dekarusu look at Alice and she has an idea. "Hm? If I target Alice, Dekarusu will have no choice but to protect Alice and that's when I strike!" Administrator said to herself as she smile at Dekarusu.

"Hm? What's so funny?!" Dekarusu said

"You know.. I really enjoyed my time here with you..... it's really worth it."

"What you mean?!" Dekarusu said

"You'll see~

DASHED!!!

Administrator dashed towards Alice

"She's coming towards me!!" Alice tried to grab her sword but she still suffers the damage from earlier

"Oh no!!!" Dekarusu said as he quickly dashed to protect Alice. "Alice!!!!" Dekarusu said as he prepared to attack Administrator

"Now's my chance!!!!"

"I won't let you hurt Alice!!!~

CLASHED!!!

"Your mine!!!"

As Dekarusu's attack was countered~

BITE!!!!

"AH!~

(A/N: Quinella used Alice as bait to get closer to Dekarusu)
"Deku!!!!" Alice said as she saw Administrator bite Dekarusu's neck and something was marked  on his neck

Then Quinella gain some distance away from them.....

"Mmm! Your blood tastes delicious Dekarusu......"Administrator said as she licked the blood out of her lip

"AHHH!!! RRRGHHH!!!" Dekarusu was in pain as he holds his neck.

"Deku!!!" Alice said as she was close to Dekarusu. "You! What have you done to Deku!!?!" Alice said

"I just gave him his "gift" just like I said before.... Dekarusu will seek out to me very soon... with the Curse Mark...."

"The Curse Mark!!!" Alice said as she was shocked and sees the Curse Mark on Dekarusu's neck. "You have the power to give people the Curse Mark!" Alice said

"Hehehe.... indeed."

"W-Who are you and what do you want?!?!" Alice said

"Hm.... ok I'll tell you~ My name is Quinella.... I am a Administrator..... and like I just said, he will seek out for me..... soon enough." Quinella reveals her name. "But in order for him to survive..... he'll have to finish my test." Quinella said

"Screw that so-called test of yours!! What make you think you have the right to test people like your own slaves?!" Alice shouted

"WAHHH!!! AAHHHH!!!" Dekarusu still groans from the pain

"First, he'll have to defeat 2 of my henchmen who serve me and they also obtain the Curse Mark as well." Quinella said

"2 Henchmen?! And they already have the power of the Curse Mark?!" Alice said

"Hehe... that's right..... but in the mean time... I'd enjoyed the power he'd already possess..... enjoy your fun time together...." Quinella said as she disappeared

ZAPPED!!!

-With Quinella-

"Raios. Humbert." Quinella said as she contacted with them

~"Yes my lady."
~"Yes my lady."

"Now I finally gave Dekarusu the Curse Mark... I want you two to assassinate him.... do whatever you want to kill him.....  it before you do... give them at least 10 or 15 minutes to rest up, nothing more, nothing less. Use your Curse Marks in battle. Understand?" Quinella said

~"Yes my lady. We will complete this mission."
~"Yes my lady. We will complete this mission."

"Good. Don't hesitate to kill them." Quinella said

~"Yes. Understood."
~"Yes. Understood."

-Back with Dekarusu and Alice-

"AHHHHAHAHHHAAAA!!!" Dekarusu scream incredibly loud as the birds fly away and was on his knees

"Deku!!!" Alice said as she scoots in front of him. "Deku!!! Stay strong!!" Alice said

"GAG!! HAWH!!!" Dekarusu said

"Deku..... it's going to be ok! Stay with me!!" Alice said as she held Dekarusu's hand and he gripped tightly from the pain

"GRRR!!!!~ AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Dekarusu scream the top of his lungs and he suddenly fainted on Alice's chest

"Deku!!! Deku! Deku wake up!!~
TEARING UP!!!
"DEKU!!!!!" Alice said as her eyes begin tearing up and flowing in her cheeks and a tear dropped on Dekarusu's Curse Mark. *Sniff* "D-Deku... I-I'm sorry... I-I should have protected you... but instead you protected me... just like you said.... you're really a man to your word.... but I'm completely sorry!!!" Alice said as she cried while holding Deku closer to her.
