1 Week Later
Artemis had just finished putting some final tweaks on his new weapons, he had been testing them and he found that, like his sword skills, he automatically knew how to use it, as it happened to be related to swords in some way.
He'd hidden this project from everyone, and this made everyone suspicious, as they knew he was hiding something. He fitted the weapon on, it looked like two bracelets with giant circular plates settled on top, but one feature that was notable was the two tubes that rested just underneath the sides of the plate, the next feature was the blades, they folded backwards and looked like pincers when not in use, they reached his elbow but not close enough to harm him if he bent his arm, they could also be used to block a strike, like a shield, when in use they folded out to the sides of his hands, sitting just under the tubes, and the style was that of Illidan's warglaives from a certain video game, except the green was fire red, the tubes were gun barrels, and in the centre of the gauntlet, there was a cylinder cartridge for the ammunition, when empty the cartridges were unlocked and could simply be thrown out of the weapon.
The design was based off of a mix between Illidan's warglaives and Yang's shotgun gauntlets from RWBY, and he was very proud of how it turned out.
As he strapped his new weapons, Leafa entered the room, "Woah, those are neat, what are they?" She asked, surprised.
"Something I've been building, mainly because I need something to help me kill PoH." Artemis said, rubbing the back of his neck skittishly.
"But, you have your swords, why can't you use those?" Leafa asked.
"Well, I had Jesse's help with them, so when I kill demons, it connects the worlds for a brief second, to kill the demon permanently." Artemis said sheepishly.
"So, you plan on killing him for good?" Leafa asked.
"Yes, I believe it is the right thing to do, it will protect everyone who will fall under his wrath, and because Jesse would need more time than what we had to analyze the enchantments on Shadow and Hellfire, which, by the way, have been fully upgraded, if you look now, Shadow has a twilight purple glow, brighter than before too," Artemis then proceeded to take his swords from their sheaths and Leafa gasped as she looked at them, Shadow was emitting a black haze from the runes and the face on the blade, and Hellfire had a bright fire red glow, and flames were coming from the runes and face on the blade of this sword, and the flames had an orange haze floating from the blade. The black smoke from Shadow, and flames from Hellfire were floating upwards.
"That's so cool!" Leafa was amazed at the effects on the blades.
"I know right? I love them! Also, another cool feature on these new gauntlets, they play dubstep through a kind of Bluetooth that I had installed, but the cool part about that is that every base drop can either be used to knock away any opponent who gets in range or to enhance my strike power by 100 percent!" Artemis exclaimed.
"So you believe you can kill PoH? I hope you can, because if you manage to do so, we will have a shot at winning the game!" Leafa and Artemis were being too loud and Oblivion entered the room and saw Artemis's new gauntlets.
"HOLY MOTHERFUCKING GOD!" Oblivion said, after seeing the gauntlets.
"I'm pretty sure I don't fuck your mother." Artemis joked.
"I know but, JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU NEED THAT SHIT FOR!?" Oblivion said.
Artemis went up to him and slapped him over the cheek and said, "I know they're cool, but you need to calm the fuck down. You'll draw too much attention, jeez."
"Isn't that the point? It's cool, why can't everyone see it?" Oblivion said. Just then, I'd Love to Change the World by Jetta, the Matstubs remix, began playing.
"So you have very loud speakers on your arms, that's even cooler," Oblivion said, but right as the bass dropped, Artemis punched Oblivion with 100x more strength than usual.
"AW FUCK!" Oblivion screamed, as he stood from the rubble of the wall, Artemis walking up and glared at him.
"That is just one of the features of this weapon." Artemis said, smirking, as he let up the glare.
"That fucking hurt!" Oblivion said as Lisbeth walked up to find Oblivion standing up angrily glaring at Artemis.
"Of course it did, that's the point." Artemis said.
"Get your man to stand down Leafa," Lisbeth said glaring at Artemis.
"He won't listen," Leafa said shaking her head.
"Damn right I won't, but thanks to Oblivion's prying, my weapon is exposed." Artemis said, before both men burst out laughing, startling the girls.
"Fucking awesome, I wish I had a weapon like that!" Oblivion said, failing to stifle his laughter.
"I have a weapon more suited to you anyways," Artemis said, suddenly becoming serious.
"Wait what?" Oblivion began bouncing up and down like a child on christmas.
Artemis revealed a set of claws very much like the ones he had in SAO, and began going through how it worked. "So the claws come off, and you can throw them at our enemies, the claws are connected to the knuckles by a thin but very strong wire, and they can faze through your own body while not through anyone else's."
"How'd you manage that?" Oblivion was confused how the wires worked.
"So pretty much, I stole a bit of hair." Artemis said, rubbing the back of his head.
"And give this to Nero." Artemis said, handing over an intricate weapon, that looked like a ball mace with a magazine and a sight that peered over the mace head from slightly behind the magazine on top of the weapon, the mace had a 4 spikes, that resembled the top of isengard, on the top of the weapon however, there was a barrel.
"Explain to me, what it does so I can relay it to him," Oblivion asked.
"It's not too hard, it's a mace that turns into a semi-automatic rifle." Artemis said.
"Ok, got it." He said as he walked off.
2 Hours Later
Artemis waited for the gathering army he was going to bring to take down the remainder of the Death's Hand guild.
They were soon all gathered in front of the building PoH resided in, "Remember, no one will fight PoH, that battle is MINE." Artemis said menacingly.
"Yeah well I'm pretty sure if we try and kill PoH, we'd end up like Nero, except we probably won't last as long." Oblivion said.
"Yeah true, but whatever, he's my kill." Artemis said.
"That means we just have to defend you while you do so?" Oblivion asked.
"Correct." Artemis simply replied. Five minutes later, the army arrived, and Artemis stood up, and said, "We'll be going in just a few minutes, this might be the last shot we have at this, so I want everyone to take a moment now to make sure they have their stuff ready, and don't worry about PoH, I'll be fending him off from you guys, you just have to defend me, and as long as you do that, the guild members and PoH should be confirmed dead by the end of the day."
Everyone got the memo and sat down, a few people seemed uneasy, but that didn't matter, because the guys around them would get them to snap out of it. At this rate, Artemis thought they outnumbered PoH's army. Artemis then messaged his friends to gather at the front, and not a few minutes later, they did.
"You guys ready?" Artemis asked, they all nodded, "Alright, I'm gonna get everyone to stand up and ready themselves, then we'll be going in."
The group went back to their old spots, and Artemis stood up, and as he did, everyone else did as well, "Alright, ready your weapons." Artemis ordered, and everyone did. "On the count of 3. 1. 2. 3." And Artemis turned and ran to the DH base, with everyone following.
They get into the base, and Artemis quickly got to the slaughter, a woman struck at him with lightning speed, but over balanced as Artemis ducked under her blade, and rising, he disemboweled her, showing no mercy to murderers. He turned around and with Hellfire, he slashed off an incoming attacker's hand before smashing him in the face with the hilt of Shadow, and as the man fell, Artemis spun and sliced off the man's head before he hit the ground. He turned to see a circle of men forming around him, and smirked, "Who's next?"
Nero took his new weapon and blocked his current opponent, before kicking him in the stomach, causing the man to bow his head, and Nero took full opportunity to crush the man's skull, before, turning to smash another opponent in the face, and spun the opposite direction to smash his new opponent's brains over the wall.
Jessie, was using her greatsword to cut down swaths of enemies, even until she met someone she recognised as a fellow demon, she understood however, that while she was a very powerful opponent, she has lost a great amount of her power after going rogue, she realized now though, that in her time with Artemis, she was getting stronger, and she growled in excitement, she was proud to be fighting alongside those who fought for justice, she no longer wanted to fight for evil, or even for her own selfish purposes, she wanted to fight for honor, for glory, and now she could finally let loose. She let the dark energies of her heritage surround her and she split her greatsword into two, and rushed forward, carving down many soldiers with the deadly aura around her, but her blades only enhanced the damage caused.
Oblivion dashed to and fro, using his new claws to their maximum effect, killing many with each swing, his weapon's cutting down everyone who stood in his way. He looked on in horror as a man leapt from the shadows and attacked his sister's back, Oblivion activated Blur of Aura in a desperate attempt to save his sister, but arrived too late, Strea caught Ionea in her arms as she attempted to fend off the man who attacked the girl in her arms, Oblivion body checked the man away, feeling a strange sense of calm, walked slowly towards him. The man scrambled to get back to his feet, but he felt a weight on his back, and he slowly turned his head to see Oblivion, with his claws sheathed, and watched as Oblivion calmly pressed his fist onto the bottom of the man's chin, right on the fleshy weak spot underneath his chin, and smirked, Oblivion then triggered his claws, and they pierced through the man's skull and going through the man's brain.
Oblivion ran towards her, Strea was holding her there, "Dammit, why'd it have to be you to die?" He said, on the verge of tears, letting a few tears go down.
"Look, you're crying, even after becoming a demon, you can still cry." Ioena said.
"That doesn't matter, please, don't leave me, I don't want to lose you!" Oblivion sobbed.
"You won't, can't Artemis bring me back?" Ionea asked, scared for herself, because she thought Artemis was able to resurrect anyone he wanted.
"Well, I feel demonic energy, coming from your wound, so… I-I don't think so…" Oblivion said.
Ionea was surprised, at that moment she knew, she was going to die, and not come back, and it just hit her, but she didn't cry at all, she just felt a strange calmness in her, a strange feeling of understanding, that she would not come back, that she could not come back.
"Owen, there's something I need to tell you." Ioena said.
"Yes, what's troubling you sis?" Oblivion asked, wiping away a tear.
"I know where Sinon ended up." Ionea said.
Meanwhile
Artemis witnessed the death of his best friend's younger sister, and now was faced off with the remaining forces the Death's Hand guild could muster, but they quickly realized they could quickly be wiped out by the man they faced, and quickly fled.
However, while the rest of the forces fled, Artemis glared at the man that stood opposite to him, PoH.
"Artemis no!" Leafa tried to rush to him, but was held back by Oblivion, no man wanted PoH dead more than him, but he realized that he would quickly be defeated in this fight, and he knew that not only would he die, but he would have no help from Artemis were he to die from PoH's meat cleaver like blade, thus, he left this fight to him.
"Artemis, what a surprise it is to see you here," PoH said snidely.
"Cut the shit, I've come to end your little game." Artemis said, glaring at PoH, who laughed.
"My game? Oh this is a treat, I did not make this game, we were put here to play this game, and why else do we gain experience for murder here? It was the goal of the creators the whole time, don't you see? I AM playing the game!" PoH announced gleefully, only to be cut off by the sudden need to duck under Hellfire.
Artemis smirked as he then began to increase his speed and PoH began to look startled. He quickly drew his meat cleaver, and began to block Artemis's strikes, but with Artemis's onslaught of attacks, he couldn't find a window for attack, except for one.
PoH launched himself away from Artemis, doing a backflip kick to his jaw, and as he landed, he rushed his again, and begun his own onslaught of attacks, his stronger than Artemis's, but they were much slower, forcing Artemis to dodge, rather than block, which lead to an attack that PoH miscalculated for, a swift dodge to the side and a stab with Shadow, which forced PoH to block but that left him wide open for a stab from Hellfire, which he received full on, half the blade entered PoH, before he bodychecked Artemis away, removing the sword, along with Artemis. PoH then used a quick healing spell on himself, as he did this, Artemis charged at him, hoping to get another strike while he did so. PoH had blocked a strike from Shadow, and fell back, Artemis, still going on the offensive, swung Hellfire at his waist, to the left, which PoH quickly dodged. Poh then raised his arm and swung his meat cleaver downwards at Artemis's left shoulder, Artemis blocked with Shadow, but PoH kept pushing, Artemis was pushing his meat cleaver away as much as he could, Artemis then thrusts Hellfire at PoH's chest, but PoH fell back, releasing Shadow, but Hellfire left a small cut on PoH's chest. PoH then ran towards Artemis, who swung Shadow at him, but PoH used his meat cleaver to bash Shadow away and spartan kick Artemis back. Artemis had almost fallen, but he kept his feet on the ground, though, PoH ran towards him again, swinging his meat cleaver at him again, Artemis dodged quickly, and swung both his blades at PoH, but he dodged them, Artemis then swung Shadow, with all his strength, at PoH's meat cleaver, and with enough strength, he was able to disarm PoH, but PoH ran off, Artemis quickly followed, only then to see PoH was running after a friend of his, Klein, Artemis became angry then, and ran faster, though, not fast enough, PoH grabbed him by the neck, and crushed his throat, instantly killing him. He then picked up his body and threw it at Artemis, which he quickly stepped aside and let it fall beside him.
Artemis growled and threw his swords in the ground, and they sunk into the earth, and PoH looked at Artemis like he was crazy, before shrugging and rushing for his dropped weapon, where he was surprised to find Artemis in front of him before hearing loud music begin to play. Artemis had begun the song KILLBOT by Devin Martin, and as Artemis smirked, he drew back for and threw a punch at PoH which he took head on, only to find himself thrown back by a blast from a shotgun shell, and Artemis walked up and as the bass dropped, he slammed his fist into the top of PoH's head, sending his face into the ground, and Artemis began to continuously pick up PoH's head out of the ground and smash it back down with his fists, before realizing his foe was finished, and he then waited for the second bass drop, and finally, he smashed the demon's skull, splattering the ground with his brains and blood, and Artemis stopped the music as the song finished, Turning to see a giant demon standing behind him, he was startled as he realized this was the game's final boss, and it punched him across the grounds of the ruined headquarters, Artemis hit the ground heavily, and Leafa, finally released from Oblivion's grasp as he rushed the beast, ran towards him, and quickly cast several HOTS (Healing over time effects) on him, which he stood up and cracked his knuckles, as he began a new song, Mind Control, by Zomboy.
He rushed the beast, swerving around the monster's strikes and punched it several times, before smashing it upon the first bass drop, toppling the beast, he quickly used the 3 second strength and speed enchantment the bass drop gave him, due to the enchantment already placed on the speakers inside the warglaive gauntlets, and unleashed a flurry of fists aimed at specific weak points on the limbs and stomach.
He flew back and unleashed his wings and the warglaive blades on his swords and announced, "You are not prepared!" before rushing the stomach of the injured demon, slashing away at it, leaving the beast to bleed from many wounds, bullets and blades alike.
His friends stood in awe as they watched Artemis cut the beast up, like he was carving a nice juicy turkey.
As the beast cried out in it's final breath, everything began to dissolve, Artemis smiled at his friends, who smiled back, except for Nero, who exclaimed, "That's it?! No here, have this reward or anything?! Just here, have another year of rehab, congratulations, you won!"
"That's pretty much SAO too, if you think about it," Oblivion said.
"Shut it, you've had more action than me, in more ways than one, shit head!" Nero growled back.
"Klein is gone, but worry not, Artemis can save him right?" Ellerin asked, but before anyone could answer her question, they all appeared in a dark room, standing together, everyone forgetting Ellerin's question as they now all wondered where they were.
"You 13 aren't gonna escape that easy, I'll-" A voice said, before being cut off.
"Nope!" Artemis said, creating a portal to Kirito's house, which everyone filed through, leaving that room all together, confusing the one whom had spoken.
At Kazuto's house
"We've made it out!" said Silica, watching as Asuna rushed to her two waiting children, one of which had just turned 4, that being their daughter Hope.
"We've escaped after 5 years of playing that stupid death game!" Suguha said, exhausted.
"And, I'm leaving again, hopefully see you guys sometime soon, and remember, I love you Sugu, don't worry about me, ok?" Artemis said, before he was tackled by everyone in the room, including Kazuto and Asuna's children, through his newly created portal, landing on the front step to a large futuristic castle, right beside a sign that said, Beacon.
"We ain't letting you leave us while you enjoy a fun life somewhere else," a 17 year old Oblivion said, before looking around to see, everyone had become younger, the youngest being the children, where Hope was now 2 years old, and Leo and Yuno were around 6 and Yui, 10, Kazuto was now 17 along with Oblivion, Nero, Artemis, and Suguha and Ellerin are now 16, and Silica and Yuuki were now 15, and Lisbeth and Asuna and Agil, were now 18
"Well, who are you guys?" A voice spoke behind them, startling them, they turned to see four girls staring down at them, and they smiled nervously back.
