Codenamed: Emperor

Hey guys! Sorry for not posting for a bit, memorial day came up and then i watched the dubs for SAO, but enough of that. Oh and Kurumi's guns resemble a old Remington and a colt revolver, forgot to mention it last chapter and to those who might be wondering. Here is the newest/final chapter of Code Named: Emperor!

Chapter 9:

Ellen intentionally triggered Bryce's 'lost' state, which he thought she could eventually overcome him, but was dead wrong.

During their fight Bryce vaporized Ellen's right arm and sterilized her magical capabilities temporarily, during that small amount of time, he destroyed Tengu city and killed almost everyone.

Bryce then had completely lost it, he said he will end everyone's life and conquer the world.

This struck Kurumi, the one she cared for, the one she desired to now be with, is now the antagonist of the world. This though made her become inverse and the only hope for not only the survivors of Tengu city, but possibly the whole world...

Kurumi had just become inverse and she seemed calm, collective, and her face was monotone.

Shido and the others looked at her, she just stood their with her weapons in hand looking at Bryce.

"K-K-Kurumi?" Shido asked, afraid that her inverse self might be like Tohka's.

"Yes Shido-san?" Kurumi asked in a now developed monotone voice.

"Do you know what is going on?" Shido asked.

"Yes... my beloved has become 'lost', i must save him and the remaining humans here for his and everyone else's safety." She said casually.

"Well at least she remembers what is going on." Kotori said with some relief.

"Quite the contrary Kotori-san, i only know the situation my originator has placed me in, she sacrificed her form temporarily to save everyone here." Kurumi explained. "But rest your worries, i am on your side."

This made the group sigh in relief, though they still had some hesitation.

"Stop this right now!" Kurumi yelled at Bryce.

Bryce was still doing a maniacal laugh when Kurumi yelled out at him, he looked down at them from the air.

"More survivors, then i will kill you all!" Bryce yelled out in a demonic version of his voice.

"Bryce your insane, please stop this!" Kurumi yelled put again.

"The one you call Byrce is dead! I am Sentinel, and i'll kill you first!" Bryce called out.

Kurumi readied herself. Bryce then at very fast and precise speeds he struck at Kurumi with his sword. When the dust cleared Kurumi had her revolver and shotgun in a cross holding the sword at bay, both of them were shaking their weapons to gain the edge, then Bryce feel back.

"Your a pest that is in my way, you shall be dead by the time i am done with you!" Bryce yelled out, Kurumi still had a emotionless expression on her face.

"Tempus! Accelerate!" Kurumi called out her inverse angle, summoning a large grandfather clock.

She moved at very fast speeds, then striking Bryce, of which Bryce was struck and went to the opposite direction of each hit.

"Tempus... Fragor!" She called out and used her shotgun to hit Bryce from underneath him, hitting his chin, sending him flying backwards.

Kurumi then leaped back and looked around for Bryce but he was nowhere to be seen, then a sliver of shadows came up behind her.

"Kurumi look out!" Shido yelled out in vain.

Just then a sword pierced through Kurumi from the back, Bryce was behind her, Kurumi was then thrust away from him.

"Your a pathetic excuse for a warrior, i shall have you head on my mantle!" Bryce called out.

Kurumi got up staggering. "I remember saying that, i do not know when or where, but i remember."

"Then i guess you wont mind if i carry it out on you then!" Bryce then launched himself at Kurumi.

"Tempus... Protegat!" Kurumi then summoned a small magical gate that blocked Bryce's attack, causing an explosion, Bryce then had to fall back again.

"You... you are strong... but not as strong as me. Let that minuscule compliment comfort you in death." Bryce said.

"Tempus... Restituam!" Kurumi then shot her body with her revolver healing her and cleaning her up.

"Seniori! Voco!" Bryce then dispersed his sword with a new one.

The sword had a long blade and handle, the end of the handle was like a small spear, the right sword guard was a small ax-like attachment and the other had three small prongs. The sword was black but the tip of the blade and spear handle was red.

"Tempus! Accelerate!" Kurumi then moved so fast that not even Bryce could detect her. "Effingo." Then eight different inverse Kurumi's appeared and pointed their guns at Bryce and fired, then the real Kurumi shot her revolver at the back of his head.

Bryce collapsed to the ground but just as he fell he dispersed into shadows, then eight shadows decapitated the eight other Kurumi's. They then all formed a few meters away from Kurumi, becoming Bryce once more.

"Do you see what you are up against you swine!" Bryce yelled out.

"I do, i am up against a man who turned into a beast who has been stricken by a curse that he must overcome, and i will save him." She responded.

"Well then... I will no longer hide away my full power and i request that you do the same." Bryce said for the first time setting terms in this state.

"Fine, i will come at you with everything I've got." Kurumi agreed.

Bryce help his sword out one handed and Kurumi bent down a little and crossed her shotgun and revolver. They remained poised until Bryce leaped in the air.

"Seniori! Irritum Flante!" Bryce called out, he then fired his signature beam, when it hit the ground Kurumi jumped in the air, Shido's group then covered themselves from the blast.

"We have to go help her!" Tohka said to Shido.

"No... i think Kurumi's got this." Kotori said smiling looking up at the two fighters now swinging their swords and guns at each other.

They all looked at her disbelief, with a confused expression.

"What! I trust her for now, big deal!" Kotori said defending herself.

They all chuckled a little bit but the short term happiness was over when the two landed near them and Bryce was beginning to overpower Kurumi.

"Tempus! Transuerso!" Kurumi called out. Kurumi disappeared and Bryce began to fall over as four Kurumi's were now behind him, they all shot and the real one came from under him to shot her shotgun blasting him in the air.

Bryce then recovered and the four clones shot up and attacked him but he slashed threw every single one of them.

Then he was struck in the back by the real Kurumi flipping him over. Then eight Kurumi's appeared below him pointing their shotguns at him while five Kurumi's appeared above him aiming both guns at him. They all fired at once and Bryce plummeted to the ground.

The force of 13 Kurumi's then landed near him, but then a very swift series of black slashes came out of the smoke, Kurumi landed and when the smoke cleared and all 14 clones were dead with Bryce in the center moving his shoulders up and down, breathing heavily. His helmet was now blown of, his eyes were red and hair white.

"YOU SHALL REGRET THE DAY YOU CHALLENGED ME!" He screamed out.

Kurumi still had a plain face, her expression had not change the entire fight, she still was monotone.

"Come forth my time clones!" She called out summoning a few hundred inverse Kurumi's.

"Come forth my shadows of death and destruction!" Bryce yelled out summoning the same amount of clones as Kurumi, except that they were all in black armor.

Soon a hail of gun fire and sword clashes broke out as a few Kurumi's brought Shido, Kotori, Tohka, Yoshino and Yoshinon to safety. They still saw the fight and where memorized as the giant hail of gun shot flashes ans sword slashes filled the now smoke covered field.

The great battle ensued, Kurumi after Kurumi and Byrce anfter Bryce fell and disappeared from existence again.

The gun fire was enormous as bullets rained from Kurumi's side and flashes of void energy fired from Bryce's side, then in the air a few Kurumi's and Bryce's were in close quarters combat, among them were the real Bryce and Kurumi who held the true power their clones did not and every strike enormous gusts of wind and void energy flew out.

The fight on the ground was drawing to a close as hundreds lie dead and the few remaining combatants were now locked into close quarters combat, as for the aerial battle only the real Bryce and Kurumi remained.

They two originals crashed into the ground as the last remaining individuals from both sides rushed towards their counterparts. It was now two Bryce's against two Kurumi's.

Then the four swiftly attacked each other as Bryce killed Kurumi's clone and Kurumi killed Bryce's clon, the two then clashed exploding the area around them with great intensity.

They struck blows at each other as the energy of their fight was beginning to drain them. They leaped back from each other.

"The end is near..." Bryce said exhausted.

"I agree, it's time to end this..." Kurumi said equally exhausted.

The two then shot up into the air, struck at each other a few times, and flew back.

"Seniori! Mors Irritum Crepitus!" Bryce then pointed his sword at Kurumi firing his most powerful attack.

"Tempus! Sana Nobis!" Kurumi then summoned her angel behind her which shot out a powerful blast.

Both attacks were fired and then just skimmed each other as both hit their intended targets, causing a large explosion in the progress.

Shido and the others headed down to see if Kurumi was okay aswell as the final outcome.

"Reine, check their spirit energy!" Kotori asked.

"Both still have a sliver left, but they are very injured commander." Reine reported.

Then the two crashed into the ground. Bryce's armor was gone, his hair was brown again, but his previous attire was ripped up. Kurumi was back to normal, out of her inverse form, but was covered in blood stains and her dress was ripped up.

Bryce got up from his landing area, he had his normal hazel eyes again, he was back. When he saw what he did he nearly had a heart attack at what he did.

"Bryce... its okay..." Kurumi said very weak and hurt.

Bryce slowly got up and crawled towards a hurt Kurumi. "K-K-Kurumi, w-w-w-what did i d-d-do..." Bryce said very shocked at the sight around and in front of him.

"That's not important... please give me your hand..." Kurumi said slowly shaking out her hand.

Bryce grabbed it and felt a current of energy coming from it. "W-w-what are you doing?!" He asked crying.

"I am giving you the remaining energy that is left in me... please use your, no our, combined power to help the rest..." Kurumi said very weak.

"N-n-no, please no, Kurumi you can't!" Bryce said now holding her, crying into her shoulder.

"I have to, please, save the rest... for... me..." Kurumi said draining off.

When Bryce let go off her he saw her eyes closed with tears coming out and she was smiling, not a sadistic smile, but a comforting smile. Bryce put her down and began to cry on top of her.

"Commander... Kurumi Tokisaki has no life signature left in her... She is dead." Reine reported from the Fraxinus.

They all stood their in shock, out of all people, Kurumi died, they walked up to Bryce to comfort him.

"What are going to do now?" Kotori asked.

At first he was still crying into Kurumi's stomach, then he sat up with tears in his eyes. "I going to do what she wanted me to do..." He said.

He got up and walked away from them and then jumped up to the center of the city.

"Whats that guy doing?!" Tohka asked.

"He's fulfilling her final wish..." Kotori and Shido said together smiling.

At the center of the city Bryce saw the complete death and destruction 'Sentinel' caused.

"This is it, i have to do it even if that means if i have to die..." Bryce though to himself.

"Seniori! Sphaera Regenerationis!" Bryce called out summoning a sphere of white and green engulfing the whole city and the area around it.

Then the buildings, ground, and people killed by the blast began to rise up and revive. Ellen, who was lying in a ditch somewhere saw her arm form back and her magic energy return. She then shot up and retreated out of the city.

Kurumi's wounds were healed, inside and out, and she woke up with tears flowing out of her eyes. "He did it, he actually did it." She said smiling and choked up.

The others were over her and began to smile, then Bryce flew to their area and collapsed. Kurumi got up and limped towards Bryce.

"You did it..." Kurumi was crying over Bryce now and they were holding each other.

"Yeah... I got the message." He said chuckling.

Kurumi shook her head and smiled. The two then leaned in for a passionate kiss. Bryce then pulled away after a few seconds.

"I'm sorry, but i used up all of my energy, that much is slowly draining me away too..." Bryce explained.

"W-w-what... no please don't." Kurumi begged.

"I told you before, once i use up all of my energy i either die or go into a coma and the former is the most likely to happen..." Bryce comforted.

Kurumi embraced him crying. "Please don't go."

"Kurumi, i want to let you know, that i'll die happy, as my last sensation was with you..." He said. Then his head hunched over and he was smiling.

Kurumi shot open her eyes and looked at him with great dread. "No, Bryce no..." Kurumi was in complete tears. "NOOOOOOO!" Kurumi screamed out hugging Bryce as she laid on him crying. This was a moment she could never forget... never forget...

Just Over A Year Later

The destruction of Tengu city was forgotten by the citizens, only Shido, Kotori, Tohka, Yoshino, Yoshinon, Kurumi, and everyone on the Fraxinus remembered, as well as Ellen.

Bryce surprisingly did not die, but was put into a coma, where he slept for over a year.

Kurumi was clinically depressed and moved into Shido's house where the only thing she did was eat breakfast, go to the hospital, eat dinner, and go to sleep to repeat the cycle the next day.

Then her worries were eased as on August 15th, when she entered Bryce's hospital room, she saw many nurses and doctors around him, at first she was worried he had scummed to his fatigue, but instead they moved out of the way and her eyes were opened up and and she was overflowing with happiness. There, in that hospital room, she saw Bryce now sitting up looking at her smiling.

She rushed to him as nurses moved out of the way and she hugged him with joy and was crying. "You back, you back with us, with me..." She was sobbing.

"Can we have time alone please..." He said weak.

The doctors nodded and lead everyone out besides Kurumi.

"Bryce i was so worried, after you went into a coma Shido-san took me in to help me and every day since you where in the hospital i visited you and..." Kurumi said very fast.

Bryce pushed a finger to her mouth. "Thank you for staying with Shido, i would hate to imagine you alone, and i thank you, for seeing me... Kurumi." He began.

"Yes?" She said rubbing her eyes.

"I love you with all of my heart..." Bryce said smiling at her.

"Bryce... I love you the same way..." She said smiling too and she leaned in and kissed him.

The two romantically kissed each other and when Kurumi pulled away she leaned into his shoulder.

"Bryce... please never leave me... i don't want to become what Tohka became..." Kurumi said opening her eyes.

Bryce kissed the top of her head. "Of course i won't, i will never leave you..." He said resting his head on hers.

The two then embraced, knowing what they went through, pulled them together and would strengthen their bond of their love for each other and the bond with their friends.

In the end, the two got what they wanted, each other. And DEM got what they wanted too, a way to capture Bryce and consume his powers once and for all.
