The King of Blades 01
A lone figure walks through the dessert with no end in sight as a raging sandstorm raged all around him.
[I am the bone of my sword]
Beneath his cloak was the clinking of metal against metal as though the figure was wearing armor.
[Steel is my body and fire is my blood.]
As the dessert wind blew across the infinite dessert on the back of the figure were two swords that were chained up.
[I have survived over a thousand battle and not once did I retreat.]
Behind the figure were the broken remains of what would have been a small group of hunters the various weapons they used laid strewn about.
[I have withstood pain to walk the desolate path I have chosen.]
From within his cloak the figure pulled out a locket but just before he opened it he hesitated and instead returned it to his cloak.
[So as I pray-]
Soon the sandstorm around the figure dissipates to reveal an even larger number of hunters guns aimed on him while the members using physical weapons stood about in formation.
"Adamantium Edge our leader Black Vice wishes to speak to you surrender now or the Burst Linker known as Sky Raker will meet her death!"
"Sky Raker won't meet her death so easily. But if it is death you wish-" Throwing off his cloak Adamantium Edge revealed himself. A sleek silver color that had started to show it's age and tear after walking through the dessert for such a long time and cracks in various bits of Adamantium Edge's armor showed the scars. From his back he drew his two swords not from their scabbards but from his back with their scabbards still attached to them. "Then come at me!"
[Insert Opening of Saphire's version of Oath-sign I think it kinda fits the story overall]
"Nii-san-Nii-san wake up please." Slowly Naruto's eyes opened up to look into the eyes of his little sister Niko by the side of her eyes were dried tears that showed that she had been crying.
Naruto took in a deep breath and he felt how the air he breathed in smelt different more fresh more sanitized but he finally realized that he had his special oxygen mask over his mouth and nose and his person still dressed in a light hakama and he was currently lying down on his own bed. "Eh? Niko what happened?" Naruto weakly asked.
"You dumb idiot you collapsed again!" Naruto and Niko turned their heads to see Naruto's friend and fellow classmate Rin Tohsaka. "Sigh just how much are you going to push yourself before you want to end up here again?! You're just lucky I came by."
Naruto ignored Rin for the moment and turned back to Niko. "Niko please help me up." Niko nodded her head and helped her brother up once he was seated upright Naruto removed the oxygen mask to face Rin.
"Sorry Rin it's just that I haven't done much exercise recently so I just had to get some extra practice in." Naruto replied with a small smile that made Rin blush.
"J-Just don't push yourself too hard I don't like seeing you using that oxygen mask you idiot!" Rin cried out before running away at top speed.
Once Rin was gone Naruto turned to Niko. "So Niko have you had lunch yet?" Niko shook her head prompting Naruto to smile and swing his legs off the bed.
"Then let's go and buy some ingredients for lunch and dinner?" Niko nodded her head and followed Naruto to the kitchen where Rin was apparently at preparing some rice.
"Oh hey Naruto Niko...I thought you guys hadn't had lunch yet so I just decided to make something light for the both of you." Rin replied as she put the pot of rice down into the rice cooker before moving to the fridge and checking the contents only to find that there was nothing much she could really cook. "Hey Naruto you guys don't really have anything to cook."
"Yeah sorry about that Rin but I was supposed to go to the market to get ingredients but the rice will take at least 20 minutes so I'll head down to the market and get some ingredients."
"Fine but I'm coming along just in case." Both Rin and Niko replied at the same time making Naruto laugh.
"Alright then let me go and get my wallet then we can leave." Naruto left the kitchen for his room leaving both Niko and Rin in the same room.
Once both Rin and Niko confirmed that Naruto wasn't around anymore the two of them turned to one another and glared very quickly producing lightning that could have powered the entirety of Japan for months however both of then knew that this was just an act they put together.
"Alright Niko Rin let's go!" Naruto called out from the front door making the two of them break eye contact.
"Alright Nii-san/Naruto." The two of them replied before the two of them moved to the front door. On the way Niko turned to Rin and narrowed her eyes and whispered in a soft voice. "I'll talk to you later."
[At the supermarket]
Naruto walked through the aisle of meats and carefully selected good looking salmon filets, bacon, chicken and beef filets as well.
As for Rin and Niko they had gone off to search for good vegetables. Along the way Niko saw some snacks that she wanted and she reached out for them but at the last second she pulled back when Naruto turned the corner. "Niko?"
"Hai nii-chan?" Niko quickly replied hoping Naruro didn't see what she was about to do but instead Naruro saw what she was doing and reached out for the snacks she was hoping to get and put it in the basket.
"You know I was just thinking of getting some of these. My friends at school said they were nice so lets try them out?" Naruto turned to Niko and smiled getting one back in return.
As Naruto continued to walk searching for other products he needed, Niko stayed behind and looked up at the snacks remembering that first time.
[Flashback]
A slightly younger Niko looked up longingly at the snacks before her and reached out for the one she wanted before bringing it to a slightly younger Naruto. "Nii-san can I get this?"
Naruto looked at the snacks before he shook his head, removed the snacks from Niko's possession and gently patted her head. "I'm sorry Niko but we can't afford those things this time around maybe next month."
Niko dejectedly nodded her head and held Naruto's hand while they made their way to the cashier. 'One day I'll earn a lot of money and buy all the snacks I want.'
[End Flashback]
Niko took out her wallet and looked into it. Inside were only about 10 notes but each one of them was was one of the higher denomination notes and Niko knew that inside her brothers wallet was a fraction of what she had. 'Baka nii-san...I won't let you get hurt for me ever again.'
[That night]
As Rin and Naruto worked on dinner Niko got started on her homework. Naruto carefully grilled the salmon filets while Rin focused on the soup and some side dishes but within the hour their meal was done and Naruto brought it out to a waiting Niko while Rin brought out drinks which consisted of Ramune soda and barely tea for herself and Naruto.
"Here you are Niko. Enjoy." Naruto sat down next to Niko. "Itadakimasu!"
With that said all of them happily dug into their meal while they watched the news as Niko talked about how soon she was going to be going on a field trip for about 6 days.
[After dinner]
With the dishes washed and cleaned Naruto went to take a bath leaving Niko and Rin alone. "Burst Link!" The two of them entered the blue virtual reality world where Niko from her end opened another page adding Rin to her party and transporting them to the headquarters of Prominence the Red Legion.
Once inside her fortress Niko had now transformed into a pure red colored mech version of herself named Scarlet Rain the Legion Master of Prominence while Rin had transformed into a mechanized bipedial leopard her name was Blood Leopard the second strongest member of Prominence.
Currently they were in Scarlet Rain's personal quarters which was adorn in various long range weapons on an enormous rack by its side was perhaps Scarlet's Rain most precious possession. It was a healing chamber within it held a single Burst Linker the legendary seventh King, ruler of the metal colors Adamantium Edge.
"Tohsaka thank you for coming by this afternoon if it wasn't for you then I'm not sure what would have happened to nii-san."
"Don't mention it but still he's pushing himself a bit too hard. Will his memories return?"
"I don't want them to." Niko replied as she remembered that event while pressing a hand against the cover of the healing tube.
"So what is this I hear about you going down to Nega Nebulous's territory?"
"Its something I would rather not get the legion involved this is my fight and I need to finish it alone...if things get out of hand then we may have a war on our hands." Blood leopard nodded.
"Alright just know that I'll do what I can to help even if I'm far away."
"Thank you Rin." Yuniko replied before the two of them linked out and returned to their normal lives.
Once both Scarlet Rain and Blood Leopard were gone a wisp suddenly appeared and from it stepped out a pure yellow colored Jester that was almost double the size of Scarlet Rain but with an extremely distinct shadow.
The Yellow Jester walked up to the healing chamber and placed it's cheek against it almost as though it was hugging the figure inside. "Don't worry Onii-chan I'll save you this time I promise." Soon enough alarms started blaring and the Yellow Jester made her escape by wisping away.
"Who?!" Scarlet Rain and Blood Leopard appeared once more with their weapons drawn but when they saw that no one was around Scarlet raised the security levels on the room and left once more.
As soon as they were gone the finger of Adamantium Edge moved a little. "I'll protect them..."
[-Unlimited Blade Works!]
So that was the first chapter of King of Blades. I hope you readers enjoyed it cause this idea just kind of exploded in my mind until I finally decided to write it out. Just to note this isn't solely a Accel World X Naruto story instead it has a little bit of if you can believe it Shokugeki No Soma added in something different but I like different hopefully you readers will too.
Just to note in this story Rin is Blood Leopard and the Rin is Rin Tohsaka from FSN, go with her Ufotable design.
So with all that said thank you for reading the story if you've got any comments or anything of the like then leave them in a review or if you're shy then send me a PM I won't turn you guys away.
